THE AUTUMN A

The yellow leaves go sailing down
the stream
Whose whispering waters run to
seek the sea,
Where slender alders and pale aspens
CLEAN
And every wychelm seems a gold
en- tree.
Amber, and brown, and red the light
leaves float;
You cannot see the Pixy at the
prov,
But each gay g~alleon is a faery boat
The good folk throng the craft
from poop to bow
You cannot hear the laughter and the
song,
Though to sweet reedy pipes they
laugh and sing;
You'd say-"So late the robin sings
and long
This autumn twilight has a sound
of spring"
The Hunters Moon is rising, broad
and bright.
A bronze lamp in the ashen-colored
sky,
To light their shallops down the
stream tonight
Far through the woods 1 hear the
white owls cry.

HER TOKEN OF THE PAST.
Husband Still Here, But Hair Had
Long Departed.

A western man, who plumes himself
on his fascination for the other sex,
was not long ago presented to an at
tractive New York woman.
In course of their first tete-a-tete
the man with winning ways at once
took occasion to turn the conversation
Into his favorite channel. 81 observe
that you are wearing an especially
fine locket," said he. Tell me, does
it contain some token of a. past love
affair?'
Aware of the westerner's weakness,
the handsome New Yorker thought to
humor him bit. YES smiled she,

You don't mean to tell me that
you're widow!" exclaimed the west

ture; but his hair is gone.'-Sunday

A Curiosity of Arithmetic.

A mathematician in scientific bu-
reau of one of the departments at
Washington has discovered that the
number 142 1857 is odd in more senses
than one.
If we multiply it by any number
from one up to six we arrive at prod
ucts expressed by exactly the same
figures as the original. Not only so,
but, with the exception that a differ
ent figure leads off each time, the or
der of the figures is the same.
1885 multiplied by 1 is the same.
142,S57 multiplied by 2 is 2S5,714.
142,S57 multiplied by 3 is 42S,571-
142,S57 multiplied by is 81, 42S.
142,S57 multiplied by is 714,2S5.
142,S57 multiplied by 6 is S57,142
With this multiplying by six the
strangeness stops, though the result
of multiplying the number by seven
gives the rather odd number of $685.

CHILDREN SHOWED 1T
Effect of Their Warm Drink in the
Morning.

"a year ago 1 was a wreck from
of giving up my position in the school
room because of nervousness.
Il was telling friend about 1t and
she said, We drink nothing at meal
time but Postum Food Coffee, and it is
such a comfort to have something we
can enjoy drinking with the children
Il was astonished that she would al
low the children to drink any kind OF
coffee, but she said Postum was the
most healthful drink in the world for
children as well as for older ones, and
that the condition of both the children
and adults showed that to be fact.
My first trial was failure. The
cook boiled it four or five minutes and
it tasted so fat that was in despair
but determined to give it one more
trial. This time we followed the di-
rections and. boiled it fifteen minutes
after the boiling began It was a de-
cided success and I was completely
won by its rich delicious favour In a
short time I noticed a decided inn
provement in my condition and kept
growing better and better month after
month. until now 1 am perfectly
healthy, and do my work in the school
room with ease and pleasure. I would
not return to the nerve-destroying reg

It has commonly been said that
lunacy was increasing in the modern
world But Mr. Noel Humphreys in
his paper read before the Statistical
society proclaims the theory that
lunacy is not increasing at all. Ac-
cording to his ingenious statement the
apparent increase is due not to the
growth of lunacy, but to the growth
of the care of lunacy. To put the mat
ter shortly, ne holds that it is not so
much that there are more madmen,
but that there are more mad doctors.
Substantially, his case appears very
sound. There can be little doubt that
many men are now put in asylums
who would in previous ages have been
allowed to wander in the meadows or
to play about the streets. There can
be little doubt that many men are
now called insane who in other times
would merely have been called
wicked; and it is possible that many
are now called madmen who in other
times would merely have been called
saints.
The only question is whether this
scientific harvest of all the lunatics
alive is so great an improvement as it
looks There can be no doubt that
the wise men have come from all the
ends of the earth to capture the vii
lage idiot, who once danced without
having bricks thrown at him.

down the cliff into the boat, which i'm
mediately moved off of it's own &C
cord, heading for the open sea.
On and on the boat sailed until the
prince could see on the horizon the
great rock described by the genie.
The boat grounded ashore and he
1eaped out.
Not a green thing was to be seen on
the island, nothing but the bare rock
rising sheer to the sky How could
one reach the top of it? 1t was clearly
too steep to climb.
Perplexed, the prince sat down on a
fiat stone, when suddenly he became
aware that the sun seemed to have
ceased shining. Raising his head, he
beheld a terrible bird above him. Its
wings were as big as sails; each wick
ed talon was as long as six fingers; it's
beak was long and sharp and pointed;
the head was massive and shaped like
that of an owl.
Hastily grasping his bow. the prince
shot an arrow at the bird with all his
strength, but though it struck the
black, glossy plumage of the bird, it
broke as though made of glass.
With horrible cries the bird pounc-
ed upon him, seized him in it's talons
assembled with him to a point far
above the sea, and then released its
hold. The prince plunged into the
water with a force that dazed him so
that he was barely able to swim to
1apd.
He rested in the boat, discouraged
but not yet daunted.
Just then he saw the bird leaving
the nest accompanied by her brood of
little ones. Fitting another shaft to
his bow, he shot once more. This
time the arrow struck one of the
young birds, last in line, and stunned
it SO that it fell on the shore Just by
the boat
-Hurriedly picking up the bird, which
was larger than man, he bound it to
his back in such way that the talons
could do him no harm when the bird
recovered, and then crouched low he
meath it.
Soon the parent bird missed her
young one, and looking about her,
finally sighted it on the shore Swoop-
ing down with shrill cries, she caught
1T in her claws and rose to her nest
The Prince, who was bound to the
young bird. of course. went, too

The Modern chaperon.

There are signs of the return of the

herself in deep water and difficulties
But the chaperon of old is no longer

the dragon with fearsome side curls
and truculent view of any insistent
young man. She is simply the COM
panion on the shore who holds a rope
attached to the novice who is in for
her first swim!

rope pretty freely. and is generally

Preparing for 1t.

Prof NJ l. Pupin, the famous cleo
trical expert, told at the dedicatory
banquet of the-new woman's club the
Colony, in New York, an appropriate
story.
The excellence of this repast," he
said, brings to my mind a story about
a man whose repasts were by no
means excellent
This man lived in my native town
of Idvor, and he was noted for his par
simony. Let US call him Mr.. Smith.
ssThere was an old major in Idvor
who said to his valet one evening:
go and tell the cook to get me
ready chop and poached egg
" Pardon me, major said the valet,
but have you forgotten that you are
dining with Mr.. Smith tonight?
THE major frowned.
Yes he said, I had forgotten it.
Tell the cook to make it two chops
and two poached eggs.

A very neat little six-room house
that is somewhat unusual in appear
ance is shown in this plan. The shing-
ling on the gables gives a finish very
unlike the ordinary house 1t gives
distinction without adding a great
deal to the cost of the house because
1t is just another. way of making a
cornice. All good frame houses have
common accepted similarity in gen.
eral appearance. 1t is difficult to vary
the construction to any noticeable ex-
tent without making it look freakish.
Almost every neighborhood has
house that is different from anything
else, but it very often happens that no
one likes the odd production because
it is not sensible. 1t is either eight
sided or is out of proportion or it may
be p1astered all over with ginger
bread work. Such houses usually are
built by some genius for his own use.
Such fellows have ideas of their own
that they want to work out and no one
else will permit them to experiment
in that way. 1t is not necessary to
have every house just like every other
house, but there are fundamental prin-
ciples in house building that we can
not get away from. We must use COM
mon sense in selecting the site, in
making the foundation, and in finish
ing the house.
Here is a good, sensible six-room
house that is right in every particular,
but the large gables are dressed up
little different to relieve them from
excessive plainness. The innovation
is neither expensive nor ridiculous,
but it gives a distinctive finish to the
house that leaves a pleasing impress
sion. In choosing the design for a
dwelling a good many things must be
taken into consideration. In the first
place the house must fit the lot. Some
lots seem to require a square house
while a gothic house will fit other 10
cations better. In some neighbor-
hoods cottages look thoroughly at
home while on other streets three
story houses are just the thing. Very
much depends on the size of the lot,
on the width of the street and general
surroundings. Not every community

THE PRINCE AND THE GENIE.
They Enter Into a Pact That Results
Happily for Both.

Prince Mohamid was sad. And well
she might be, for the beautiful Princess
-Corisande had refused, for the eighth
time, to marry him. So you cannot
wonder that he was mournful-
Slowly and refective1y he gazed
down into the dark waters that bathed
THE base of the high cliff by which the
royal castle stood.
All at once he heard a rushing OF
wind behind him. Turning, he saw a
horrible giant of immense size bran
dishing great club.
We'll, who are you?" demanded the
prince, when he had recovered some
what from his establishment.
Il am geniei" Numbered the giant,
lin tones that rumbled long after he
had spoken.
I am minded to be your friend. Do
you want the Princess Corisande for
your bride?''
cried Prince Mohamid.
The genie continued, Then do as 1
bid you.
You will find in the Mediterranean
sea a huge rock that rises almost to
the clouds Upon the summit a gigan-
tic bird has its nest. You will find
there yellow parchment with three
red SEALS Bring it to me. The paper
is valuable to none but me, and | my
self am forbidden to remove it from
THE nest.
4 give you ring, without which
you could not set foot on the island,
for you would be killed instantly by
-enchantment- 1t will protect your life
il two attempts for the parchment.
Should you fail the second time / would
not advise you to try again, for moth
ing could save you"
So saying, the genie vanished as
nysteriously as he had appeared, leav-
ing behind him the ring of which he
had spoken.
While bordering over this strange
happening the prince saw approaching
from the distance little boat. When
it reached the base of the cliff it rest
ed upon the water.
The prince, without hesitating, seized
the ring left by the genie and climbed
