Hsr nerves were never strung on wire*
But sunshine followed where she cams,
Her ways in school wore circumspect)
And made her seem a trifle prim;

Although she ne’er disdained life’s joys,
She ne’er forgot religion’s claims,
In Sunday school her girls and boys
Were all imbuod with life’s grand aims.
In church she ne’er seemed sanctified,
And only flt for angel sphere
While others talked of Him who died,
She worked In love for mortals here.
Bho married poorly, in thn sense
That life’s great goal is glittering gold;
But for her pains had rocotnpeuso
In love of man in God’s own mold.
And further* on in life thero came
A group of childreu in her home,
Who honored e’er their father’s name,
And from her guidance ne’er would roam.

PHILIPS FIRST SUIT.
BY EDMUND LYONS.
HAT had become
of MAblo Stone?
That way tho prob*
Ism that puzzled
tho peoplo of Squa-
lackct, and they
were no nearer to a
solution in January
than thoy were in
July, when, one op*
prussiveiy hot mom*
ing, Mabel's place
at tha breakfast
tablo was vacant,
aud Deacon Stone
learned from a servant, who had been
kept awake by a toothache, that his
daughter had arisen at four o’ciook in
tho morning and gone out hurncuiji in*
to the gray dawn. She had not returned
at nightfall,and when it wu9 ascertained
that her aunt in New York, whom sho
frequently visited, was ignorant of her
whereabouts, and that her brother, who
was tryiug to build up a medical prac
tice in Bostou, hud not seen her or
heard from her, a dark suspicion arose
in Squaiacket that she had run away
with Philip Mesmer; for Squalackot was
a Now Eugiand town, nnd overy inhab
itant in it had grown weary of compar
ing his or her own goodness with that of
tho neighbors, and arrived at u comfort
able if somewhat monotonous conclusion
that tho home virtues weie a littlo purer
and rather more securely rooted than
any others.
If there is such a thing ns an cxcoss
of righteousness, Squalackot kuow what I
it was, and a ripple of wrong doing ap- j
peering upou the otherwise unruffled
surface of its purity wns like a little
flavor of onion lurking in a bowl of j
salad. “Half suspected,” it animated
tho wholo. So tho people of tho strait
laced town were perhaps unduly hasty I
in grasping a forbidden fruit when they
declared, with something nearly ap
proaching unanimity, that Philip Mcs- 1
mcr and Mabel Stone had eloped. j
To be sure, the circumstantial evidence j
was strong against the young couple.
Philip was only twenty-two, and though I
all his friends suid ho had iu him the
making of a great lawyer, he had not yet
beeu called to the bar. This would not
have mattered greatly, because his life
lay before him, and his crusty old uncle :
allowed him enough money to cover his
bare expenses, with the provision that it j
Bhould ail bo returned, with accrued in- j
terest and by increasing installments, us ,
soon as his profession began to yield him 1
an income. But Philip, though not yet
a barrister, was too good a lawyer not to
be ignorant of tho dangers of delay. IIo
had already, he hoped, carried ono suit
to a successful issue. It was a suit for
Mabel's hand iu marriage, ond tho young
lady had rendered judgment in his favor.
But DeAcon Stone had reviewed this de
cision, reversed it, and thrown Philip’s
case, on motion of appeal, out of court.
He said hia daughter was his heiress,
and, as bo was rich, no penniless young
fellow, on the strength of his expecta
tions, should marry her.
Philip, however, was not easily non
suited. At a lust interview with Mabel,
beforo he went back to Philadelphia to
digest more law, he ofTcrcd to release her
from her engagement to him; but Mabel
was not the sort of girl to take advan
tage of his generosity, and perhaps he
knew that before ho exercised it. Love
(especially love with a profound knowl
edge of law behind it) is rarely quite un
selfish. she promised to wait for him,
if necessary, until time was no longei
young, and he assured her that he would
return to Squaiacket to claim her aasoon
as he had mastered the contents of his
lirst brief, which ho expected with the
new year; for he was called to the bar
about Christmas, and in Jauuary the case
<>. Colly vs. West would be tried in the
Superior Court, and Colly, who was a
friend of his dead father, was pledged to
retain him as junior counsel to show tho
jury that West had cut down a tree
which stood evenly on the dividing line
of the West and Colly properties, and
laughed derisively and scurriously railed
at Colly for saying that bis half of the
trunk should have been respected aud
left standing.
“And if that isn’t a good case and a
sure winner, darling,” said Philip, en
thusiastically, as he folded Mabel in his
arms, “I wonder whst is. Don’t you?”
>Then he kissed her again, and said he
wouldn't weary her with tho dry detaila
of tho law. It was vory encouraging.
Ami thus hopefully they patted. Philip
went back to Philadelphia by a night
train, nnd Mabel roturned to her father’s
house. But tho dcncon gavo her a vory
bad half-hour after supper. Ho said
Philip wosuothing bettor tlum u beggar,
dependent upon his Tluclo's bounty; that
ho wns a mean fellow, and too dull to
succcod at nny bar except a marble-
topped ono with bottles bohiud it, and
totnobody with him boforu it to pay his
reckoning. He said many other things
about her lover that Mabel, being a high-
spirited girl, could not stand at all. Sho
went t.oher room when she oould restrain
her toar9 no longer, and when sho had
locked hor door, and roliovo'* her heart
with such tears as sho had not shod since
her mother died, twelve years before,sho
decided that sho could uuver again have
a homo until Philip made ono for her.
Sho had promised hor lover that she
would never marry any other man; but
sho had also promised hor father that sho
would not wod without ids oonsont.
Tho situation was rather conflicting, and
only ono thing was qulto clear to hor;
that was that neither Philip nor the
deacon should have an opportunity to
urge her to break either pledge. 8I10
trusted her lovor.and sho trusted herself;
and abovo all, sho had a higher trust that
her dead mother Imd taught her. 80
when sho packed up a fow articles of
clothing in a small hand-bag, counted
her savings, which amounted to about
seventv-five dollars, and stolo away with
tho dawn unobserved by any ono in tlio
oned, but not at all tho guilty consciunoa
stricken creature that tho deacon and
most of tho pious people of 8qualuuket
folt assured that she must bo ns soon as
her flight was discovered.
Deacon Stono was not, any time, a
man of many ideas. IIo had only room
for ono now, nnd that his wayward aud
rebellious daughter Imd gone to Phila
delphia to joiu Philip. IIo lmstonod
thero as fast as steam could carry him,
nnd went at onco to tho law student’s
ono dingy room in Arcli Street. Ho
found its occupant wrestling manfully
with tho Revised Statutes of Pennsylva
nia, aud the earnestness with which ho
assured his visitor that ho was quito ig*
no rant of Ma|>ol’s movements ns well as
his own distress as hohenrd of her flight,
wculd have convinced an unprejudiced
person that he spoke tho truth. But tho
deacon was a man of very llxod opinions.
Ho cniled the objectionable quality that
usually won for him his owu way “do-
tcnuinatlqn.” Ilia fellow church members
referred to it as “pig-liondoilness,” but
that was only when there was no chanco
of his hearing of tho term so appliod.
lie now openly refused to credit Philip's
declaration. But tho young man listened
to his rambling, vehomontly told story,
and then with the sumo coolness and
deliberation that afterward greatly helped
him in tho caso of Golly vs. West, ho
pretty thoroughly cross-oxaminod him.
He learned enough about tho sccnu in
tho f.arlor tlio night precodiug Mabel's
flight to give him a tolerably cloar in
sight as to tho actual stato of afluirs, and
his knowledge of tho proud, solf-roliaut
character of the girl assured him that
when she returned it would bo of her
own frco-will. Whatever efforts ho inado
to And her must be advanced with tlio
utmost delicacy, for ho know that any
thing liko publicity would dooply offend
her. It was with great difficulty that ho
ffuully persuaded the deacon to refrain
from taking tho polico into his confi
dence; and the old man departed,Anally,
vowing that if his (laughter wore not
back in Squalackot beforo tho ond of tho
week ho would obtain a warrant for
Philip's nrrest, and rnlso such a hue and-
cry after Mabel as would lead to her dis
covery if sho were still above ground.
Other and more importaut matters must
have clnimad his attention, for, so far as
Philip could ascertain, ho made no fur
ther uttompt to And tho fugitive.
And so the dreary weeks lengthened
into months. Mabel's retreat was nearly
as muok a mystery as ever—not as much,
for Philip received one short letter from
hor, which relieved ins anxiety. Bho
was in New York, and was sufo and well.
She refused to toll him her address, but
promised to write to him again when
events justlffed such a course—say,when
the Philadelphia newspapers announced
that Colly had won his suit against West.
With this assurance he was obliged to bo
contented; and in tho caily days of
December Philip was called to tho bar.
But while ono man may load a horse
to the water, twenty mon cannot make
him drink; and Philip soon found that
it is easier to become a barrister than to
find clients. The care of Colly vs. West
wont over until the next term of tho
court. Tho parsimonious uncle had
stopped supplies, and if the briefless
young lawyer had not succeeded in ob
taining a littlo literary work as book-
reviewer for a newspaper, tho room in
Arch street might have wanted a lire.
It was warm and comrortablo enough,
however, when he hurried into it out of
the biting air ono eveuing; and, lighting
the lamp, he saw that two scaled enve
lopes lay upon the table. Tho ono lie
opened first contained a circular from a
New York land syndicate, setting forth
the great opportunities offered to obtain
prairie homes where the wilderness would
soon be made to blossom liko a rose.
The address on the second envelope was
in writing thut was strange to him. It
enclosed a letter from a lawyer, an
nouncing the sudden death of his uncle,
and his accession to a reasonably large
fortune.
And now where was Mabel? She
would not communicate with him, ho
knew, until good news reached her.
She might learn of a successful issue to
the suit of Colly vs. West, but how was
she to hear o? this windfull unless ho
told her of it? IIc was a comparatively
rich man now, but he cared nothing for
his wealth if Maboi could uot share it with
him, and, with a great longing in his
heart, he took her last short bravo letter
from his desk nnd laid it on the table,
while he drew the lamp toward him. It
was beside the other two envelopes, but
be knew her writing well, and looked
fondly at tho address as he picked ui
ono that boro it. Thou he oponod it, and
drew out tho dosplao J land circular. Hor
did that wrotchod advertisement gci
thero? Suddonly tho blood rushod to his
forehead ns iio saw that tho addresses ou
both omvolopes wore precisely similar.
Not (or a moment did Philip doubt that
thoy had both boon written by Mabio.
But how could such a thlug liavo Imp-
pened?
Tho young man had not wastod his
timo as a law stndont. Ho know how to
woigh evidence, and in half au hour ho
was on his way to Now York. Ho has-
tcuod to tlio office of tho land syndicate,
which having a pressure of business on
hand, was still open, shewing pooplo
how to acquire homos on tho prairio. Ho
hnd littlo troublo in ascertaining that a
Miss Mabio Stone was ono ol its army of
workers who addressed envelop*s, and a
young woman who was in tho otfleo gave
hor address to him.
Ho found her with a long list of names
boforo her, and a box coutlining a thou
sand envelopes on the tablo. Sho wns
about to ndress tho first when ho ontorod,
and said, quiotly, “Lot us do it to-
gothor, Mabel.”
Iu iier amazement sho nearly upsot the
ink; but when iio hnd told his story she
was satisfied, and allowod him to help
her. Splendidly thoy did it. Before
ton o'clock thoy had addressed a thou
sand envelopes, and carnod sc vonty-live
cents between them. Then ho loft her,
but on tlio following day thoy journoyed
to Squalackot together, aud Deacon
Stone, though nt first inclined to turn
them both out of tho house. was inolHflud
.is soon ns Iio nonra ot the altered aspect
of affairs, nnd wns easily induced to con
sent to their marriage. A lawyer was a
useful person to have iu n family, any
how, lie said, aud as ho was thinking of
suing tho church trustees for applying
tivo dollars of tho funds aubscribod for u
now pulpit to tho roliof of a widow
whose hushnud hnd boon killod on tin
railrond track, it wns woll to bo prepared
for emergencies.
Philip and Maboi wore marriod whoc
tlio case of Colly vb. West was triod ic
tho Suporior Court. Collj’s senior coun
sel wns unable to attend, niul tho brunt
of tlio buttle fell upon Philip. Ho won
it triumphantly. Tho jury gavo Colly

costa.—Harper’s Wookly.
Tlio Eskimos Surely Starving.
Hitherto the Eskimos havo depended
for foud upou tlio whalo, walrus, and
seal of tlio coast and the fish of tho
rivers. Tho first three animals havo also
supplied thorn with clothing, boats, and
all other neccssurios of Ufo. Fifty years
ago the whalers, having exhausted other
wators, sought tlio northom Pacific for
wlmlos, pursuing thorn into Boring Son,
and cnrryiug tho war of oxtorminatiou
into tho Arctic Ocoau. At lougtli tho
fow surviving wlmlos have boon driven
to the neighborhood of tho polo, nnd
their species has boootno well-night ox-
tinct on tho Alasknu const. Respond
ing to n commercial demand for ivory,
the whalers’ turned their attontiou to
the walrus s.nd proceeded to wipe them
out of cxistonco likewise. Sometime* ns
many ns two thousaud of thu valuable
beasts would be slaughtered on a single
cuke of ice, merely for thoir tusks. Thus
a walrus is hardly to bo found to-day in
those wators where so short a timo ago
the animals were so numerous that their
boliowings were heard abovo tho roar of
the waves nnd the grinding of tho floes.
Seals and sea-lions are now getting so
scarce that tlio natives have difficulty in
procuring enough of thoir skins to covor
boats. Thoy used to catch and cure groat
quantities of fish in tho streams, hut
their supply from this source has recently
diminished owing to tho establishment
of great cnnnnrics which send millions
of cans of salmon out of thu couutry an
nually and destroy vastly more by waste
ful methods. Improved firearms havo
driven tho wild caribou Into tho inac
cessible regions of tho romoto interior.
Thus the process of slow starvation
and depopulation hot begun along tho
whole Arctic const of Alaska, and famine
is progressing southward year by yoarou
the shore of Boring Sea. Whore vil
lages numbering thousands were u few
years ago, the populations havo been ro-
ducod to hundreds.—Boston Transcript,
Some Pythagorean Mysteries.
Every lover of rare and curious in
formation knows thut most of the ancients
were “dead sot” against beans, but no
modern unraveller of old-time mystcrios
knows why. It may be truly said that
there are but few philosophers ot tho
present day that “know beans.” Pythag
oras admonished his pupils to “abstain
from beans,” but on what grounds no
one knows. Ho was also authority for
the old-time superstition that nny sen
tence written iu boan juice could bo seen
plainly reproduced on tho disk of tho
moon I Andrew LYng says that the
ancient folk-lore of beans is a most
curious and interesting topic, because it
seems wholly out of tho question that
we should ever understand what it was
all about. Demeter was the pntroness of
ull fruits an I vegetables, but the ancients
considered it impious to attribute to hor
tho discovery of tho bean. Heraclides,
on the authority of Orpheus, declared
that beans buried in manure piles forth
with became human beings.—St. Louis
Republic.
Advertising Extraordinary.
“We have a shoemaker in our town,”
says a Quebec, (Canada) man, “whose
business in selling overshoes had been
almost ruined by a hustling rubber house,
and who this winter, to get even, had a
great opening sale, at which he gave to
every purchaser of shoes a pair of rubber
overshoes, upon the soles of which was
his advertisement reversed, so that at
every step the wearers take through the
snow they leave his advertisement neatly
printed in their tracks. The effect is
magical and powerful. You can scarcely
look at the snow any place in Quebec
without seeing footprints with this rnan’4
name glaring boldly from them.”-—
Rochester Uuion.
MAKING THE BANK NOTES.
A Number ot Ktigrnvora Work on
ICroIi Hill—Tho Curious Geomet
ric Lntlte—Printing tlio mils.
I will endeavor to describe very brief
ly and clearlv tho process of making a
bank note, *aya Homer Leo, Preaidoutof
tho Honur Luo Rank Note Company, in
tho St. Louis Republic. First of all, a
model <s made, partly of India ink and
partly by pasting together impressions of
small pieces of leather work aud cyclo
idal designs. This is almost an exact
representation of wlmt tho bank note is
to be; something after the fashion that
an architect makes ills plans for a build
ing, only it is made on heavier paper nnd
executed with tho brush. Tliosu design
ers are so clover in thoir art that you
might well mistake some of the designs
for the ougruvings themselves.
A bank bill is novor engraved by ono
man, but by a number of men. Ench
engraver is skilled in his own particular
branch of thu work; one man may bo
expert in ongraving portraits, another in
makiug tho old English niul other fancy
letters you always suo on tho bills,
another in tho “script,” or writing stylo
of letter phrasos liko: “Will pay the
bearer,” or “Payable to tho bearer on
demand.”
The engravers all start on thoir ro-
r stive kinds of work so ns to finish
ut the inmo timo, vory much In tho
same stylo as a railroad is built. Several
on different sections of tlio road, com
plete tho enterprise sooner than ono gang
of laborers engaged ou tho whol# route.
So oacli engraver is given n small part of
tho bill to exccuto. Ho engraves it on n
piece of steel known as die steel, not
quite as largo ns a postal card. Euch
pioce is hardened nnd aftorward taken
up on tho periphery of a soft steel cylin
der, known as a roll. This, in turn, is
hardened Uko a razor and tho complotod
noto ia then mndo up from those rolls.
Tho rolls by groat pressure, are impressed
on to a large plate which, whou finished,
becomes tho bank noto you are accus
tomed to sao.
A vory curious mnobiuo used by en-
gravers in their work is called tho geomet
ric luthu. It is with tho aid of this ma
chine that tlio peculiar and intricate laoe-
work pattorns so familiar on our paper
monoy are made. It looks very much
Uko a scroll-saw, with a revolving bod
aud numerous little cogs, pins nnd
thumb-screws. Projecting over tho bod
is an arm carrying u finely tempered steel
graver. Still more curious is it that it U
impossible for tho oporntor on this in
strument to roproduco exactly tho cutting
ho lias made, of which ho lias neglected
to keep tho record or combination; if
one of the thumb-scrcws is turned tho
hundred tit part of an inch it changes the
entire design.
Tho pay of ongravers ranges from
to |100 a week, soinotimes more. Quito
a large proportion rccolvo (150, mid tho
man who rccoives #100 a week or more
must be an oxcoptionally clover person.
The host qualified workmon are those
who can execute portraits.
After thu engravors havo finished thoir
work upon thu die it goes to the harden
ing room, where, by ineuns of furnaco
lient and cortuin chemicals, It ia made so
hard that oven u file will not scratch it.
Then the die is put on tho transfer press
and au exact improssiou is niado ou tlio
circumference of a soft roll of atcol. Tins
is hardcucd similar to tho dio, und trans
ferred to the printing plate.
Thu first plate-printing presses, nnd
those in general use to-day, consisted of
two metal rollers, between which is a
slab of iron runuingon four guide wheols.
Tho press looks something like a four
armed windmill.
In using this press tho printer first puts
his plate on a small gas-stove, called a
“jigger,” rolls ovor the surface of tho
plate with ink, removing most of tho
surplus with a piece of mosquito netting
and the roinaiudei* with his hand. Then
he polishes the plate by rubbing it over
with the soft purt of his hand, covered
with whiting. Hu does this till it shinoa
liko a mirror, leaving the engraved lines
full of ink. History iiifonnes us thut
hank notes were first printed by tho
Chinese, 2C97 B. C., and, even in thnt
early day, plutes ware polished by tho
palm of the baud in tho mauner just de
scribed.
But now the Chinese nro trying to
learn the art of bunk-noto engraving
from Americans. Some time since 1
assisted in furnishing the Japanese Gov
ernment with an outfit which, in time,
will enable them to become expert bank
note engravers. Tho Japanese, being
naturally artistic, will not make the
poorest engruvers in the world.
After the plate lias been polished the
printer places it in the press, where it
receives a sheet of puper placed by n
female assistant. Then he gives a hard
pull, nnd the impression is made.
Bank-note sheets after being printed
are taken to tho drying-room, where tho
stearn-hcatod temperature is 250 degrees
abovo zero. They remain hero one
night. In the morning the sheets are
exurnined for imperfections. Imperfect
und torn sheets arc thrown usido. Per
fect sheets are put up in puckagcs of
1000 with a slip of paper to indicate
each hundred, und then put between
mill-boards and pressed in a hydraulic
press. Then the bill are numbered by
the automatic numbering machine.
Postal notes go through a similar pio-
ces?, with tho difference that they arc
printed on a stcaui-plute printing
machine.

The Domestic Cat.
No ornament about a houso is more
associated with domesticity than tho cat,
especially in thu oold season, when she
comes into the house. To be sure, she
looks well at an open window or door,or
asleep on tho piazza,or sauntering ovor the
f frouuds. But her most picturesque place
s in tho contro of tho hearth-rug bofore
an open fire. Charles Dudley Warnor
may woll ask if a ent was ever deceived
by a gas log? Of rourso not; no cold
artificiality like that dccoivoa her. She
half shuts her (70s with a souse of the
dehoiousness of firelight, nnd purrs hei
song of grateful delight nt tho mingled
warmth aud boauty before her.
Cats havo au evident proferonoo for
certain mombers of tho family. It is an
unjust insinuation that 1t is always the
hand thnt feeds hor. But we suspoct
the principle of “Mary loves tho lamb,
you know,” may have something to do
with it, and why should not reciprocity
come In hero us elsewhere in affectionf
Shakespeare, although he consummately
read and paiuted human nature, hardly
seems to do justico to the feline. In
over forty passages in which he
mentioned tho cat, it ia as a typo of sly*
ness and deceit.
In that singular hook, “Tho Silcnoo
of Doan Maitland,” n cat figures con
spicuously. She is fed on cream and
seated in tho lisp of hor mistress and in
troduced to all tho family friends. For
somo persons she manifests partiality,
while others can never propitiate her
goodwill, and her elections are truo to
clmrnctor. Tlio hero—a man of taste,
refinement, moral sensibility, of great
harmony of person und manner—can
never win nny advuncos from tho cat,
though he stroke or speak to her ever so
kindly. Meanwhile (he man is weakly,
secretly sinning against tho laws of God
and man, while he basely leaves another
—nnd that his friend—to be suspected
and condemned for his own wrongdoing.
Yet be deceives himsolf and the world
by an atoning nioty and apparent Chrif-
tiun consecration. But tho cat ndker
believes in him! Wo may say this ia
overdone; but who can set the limit to
tho divino polico on tho earth or con-
fino ic to human intelligence?—Boston

Central Auatralia.
Explorations arc expensive and some*
times useful enterprises. A recent ex
pedition sent into Central Australia was
more noted for the former than tho
luttcr characteristic. The report shows
thut nothing has been gained beyond the
gratification of a little geographical
curiosity. The country explored ia
practically u desert, almost destitute of
water or vegetation. It contains no
traces of gold, diamonds, or anything
else worth having, and Hceins to produce
scurcely anything but spinifex. In this
desolate region a number of “black fel
lows,” us tho natives are called, contrive
to exist, and as they havo uothing that
anybody can envy, thoy are not likely to
be disturbed in the interests of civiliza
tion. This information was obtained
after many hardships and discourage
ments.—New York Witness.
Finger Tips of Idiots.
Impressions of the finger tips of idiots
have been found by Dr. d'Abundo to
show very different markings from those
of sane people. In u number of idiots
tho markings on the tips of all the fingers
of each hand wore identical, and in one
idiot the tips of tho thumbs had the same
markings as those of the fingers. There
was a noticeable smoothness of the linger
ps in all the idiots.—Now York Jour-

The Grip In Aucient Greece.
E. W. Bishop, of Norwich, Conn.,
who is a student in Amherst College, has
discovered by reading Thucydides, Book
II., that tho grip prevailed in Greece
470 B. C., and it was by far more violent
und more frequently fatal in its effects
than to-day. In the book named there
is an entire chapter on the disease and all
its symptoms, which arc minutely de
scribed, and are like those noted in these
times. It is described as being a queer
and troublesome malady, and the mental
dejections of its victims ure said to be the
most distressing feature of the disorder.
