Twilight and the MeadowIark.

It was at the edge of dense sweet gum wood embroidered with golden rod. Asters and wild sunfowers-with the reddish-golden sunset glinting on the lower tree trunks-the hour of days passing, of trailing mists on the bordering meadows-that I saw and heard him. I had come a long way without note of bird song; with but a glimpse of hurryiDg wings tor most of the singers had gone south); and felt that I could not go home with out hearing his lovely flute call
 He has another call. a diminutive rattle sounded usually when he first takes flight, but his flute cali, though not a note of it o changed the year round. is his distinctive music-ten- derer. softer in quality during the fall and winter.

MAKING THE HOME BEAUTIFUL Many Attractive Wave In Which Papa's old Pants Can Be
 Used In Home.

There are so many little things we can do that cost little both in time and money. yet count so much in the making of the Home Beautiful. For Instance. take papa's old pants: how many of you stop to think out the pos abilities of using them in the home? And yet they can be used in more at tractive little ways, when oil papa, than you would ever dream was pos siblel
 have one bright little friend who has utilized them in such pretty, sweet way, by making hanging jardi- nieres. This she does by tying the bottom of each leg with bows of rib. bon, filling the whole with sand. then planting ferns at the top and hanging them up by the suspenders.
 This is a particularly pretty decora- ton for a bay window. especially if papa is a stout man, for then, of / course, the contour of both the pants and the window coincide, which is al- ways a good point in interior decora- ton. as all lines should be harmon lous
 Another pretty idea Is to use them as parlor portieres. This can be done with very little work and small ex- pense, by tacking the waistband to the upper frame of the door. and drawing a leg back to each side of the door frame and fastening 1t there with a cord or bright ribbon. You have no idea. girls, what a sweet ef- feet this gives, and 1t is absolutely good taste for any room or hall.
 If they are so worn as to be fringed at the bottom, SO much the better, as frfnged portieres are oftentimes hand Bomer than when only hemmed. Red flannel undefpants are especially pret- ty and cheerful used in this way dur Ing the winter, while all weights and colors look well at the windows dur ing the entire year, if draped over lace curtains
 Of course a great deal depends on the size and shape of your papa. If he be tall and slender one of his legs will make a long pincushion. such as are SO much in vogue now for dress ing table use. This can readily be done by cutting the pants leg the de- sired length, etufing with sawdust, and sewing securely at both ends When covered with 6 dainty bit of lace this makes tho prettiest cushion lmaginable.-Helen s.

Latin America Can Defend Itself.

Only the uninformed regard Span fish America as an easy field for alien conquest Napoleon, when at the height of his power, deemed that the subjection Of Spain would be an easy task. But the Spanish enterprise proved his ruin fully as much as the invasion Of Russia. and while 1t Is true that British valor and the genius of Wellington were decisive factors in the result, the spaniards themselves struck telling blows for their own lib eration.
 The Spanish-Americans share with the people of old Spain that remark able capacity for recovering from ap- parently hopeless conditions which seems inherent in the Latin and Gel tic races. A strong invader might oc- cupy their cities, but he would be met on every side by cruel guerrilla war fare that would make lasting occupa- ton impossible. The earlier scenes of the Peninsuiar war would be re-en- acted on American soil.-Columbia Magazine.

NOW PRISONERS CAN'T SING
Philadelphia officer Uses Snuff and Gets He Regular Amount of
 Sleep on Duty.

Sometimes the members of the po- lice force in the various station houses are rudely awakened in the night by the warbling of intoxicated individ- uals who occupy apartments behind the iron bars in the cell room. Up un- til few days ago the hose was a very effective means of preventing encores, but now a new one has been devised.
 A sergeant, asleep in his chair, was awakened. Finally, an idea struck him. Going to his closet he took out a small package and started for the cell room. He broke the string on the package, parted the wrapper and took out a pinch of powder. He blew the powder between the bars and returned to his chair This is what happened.
 The warbling individual started his song: "All that I-chew-ask is chew-a-chew-is love, all that-a- -a-chew-chew." Then there was a pause, followed by chorus of "a-chews," and finally all became quiet That was all-except that the sergeant went to sleep again. He has since been getting his regular amount of sleep on duty.-Philadel phia Times.

MODEST TOMB OF GARIBALDI
Expressed Desire os Italian Patriot Disrogarded After Death by
 Friends and Relations.


 There is in Caprera peculiar scent of resin and incense baked in the sun and it is precisely this sun. not as fn Africa, which brings out the aroma oi the lentisk of the low-growing pines and of the myrtles, says the Glasgow Herald.
 The pungent perfume of these Island shrubs explains the desire ex- pressed by Garibaldi in all his wills (not excepting the last in 1877) to have his body burned on a funeral pile of the wood of the island before letting any one know of his decease, '' In the open air, his face turned to the sun like Pompeius, and then to have the ashes placed in the wall behind the tomb of his little grandchildren. Anita and Rosita, and beneath the 7hadc of a leafy acacia
 But when he died, his will was dis regarded by friends and relations, and against this proclamation Giosne Car ducci, the greatest of modern Italian poets, has protested-a protest ap- proved by the most eminent men of science and of the democracy. Thus the body of the hero was embalmed and placed in a tomb covered by an enormous block of Caprera granite and inscribed on 1t only tho name, Garibaldi.
 A tomb worthy indeed of the hero and which reminds the visitor of the modest grave of Gladstones father in the little cemetery at Leith, near Edinburgh. Ganbaldi's resting place is in an olive wood between the gen erals house and the seashore. Five other tombs surround his now. those of Menotti and Maulo, his eldest and his youngest sons; of his daughter Teresita. wife of General Canzio. and of Rosita and Anita A sailor of the Italian navy mounts guard at the tomb.
 In his home at Caprera Garibaldi rose very early in the morning and with his hat we'll pulled down over his eyes proceeded by tiny footpath to prominence and thence admired the wide view of sea and horizon. After his morning walk he returned home in a cheerful frame of mind, had kind word for everybody and went with the peasants to look after the cultivation of his fields.
 During the last years of his life, be- ing crippled hand and foot by arthri- tjs. he seldom left his room. but he sat with the windows open and the sparrows hopped in and took food from his hand. On his deathbed he had the windows opened to let two lit tie tame tomtits into his room. He generally dined at noon. then played a game of draughts; after that he die tated his correspondence or some lines from memory. retired to bed at 9 and there read his faEorite authors
