’ NOW, WHAT IS LOVE? Now, what is lore I pray thee tell! It is that fountain and that well Where pleasure and repentance dwell! It is, perhaps, the saunoing bell That tolls all into heaven or hell, And this is love, as I hear tell. Yet what is love, good shepherd, sain? It is a sunshine mixed witn rain, It i3 a toothache or like pain, It is a game whore none hath gain; The lasa saith no, yet would full fain. And this is love, as I hear sain. Yet, shepherd, what is love, I pray? It is a yes, it is a nay, A pretty king of sporting fay, It is a thing will soon away. Then, nymphs, take advantage white ye may, And this is love, as I hear say. Yet what is love, good shepherd, shew? A thing that creeps, it cannot go, A prize that passeth to and fro, A thing for one, a thing for more, And he that proves shall find it se. And, shepherd, this is love, I trow. Walter Raleigh. A Kangaroo oiPKhlpbo&rd. He was presented by n lady in Hobart to one of our lieutenants. He never became quite at home on board, and in a few months took a passage overboard, when nobody was looking, through a gun port, and was seen and hoard of no more. Be was addioted to keeping late and irregular hours. He would hide him- Belf away and sleep all day, and then wake up and become aggres sively active at about 11 p. m., when everybody had turned in. Kangaroos are extensively hunted in the country parts of Australia and givo excellent sport. Our friend did so to the sentry and quartermas ter of the watoh at night. He had a particular fancy for the navigating officer’s cabin, which is on the upper deck. For various rea sons the owner of the cabin did not appreciate this flattering preference, and he left strict orders with the men on night duty in the neighbor hood not to allow his highness to disturb him in his rest. The kanga roo used to “lay off” very quiotly behind tho bits at the other end of the quarter deck and wait his op portunity. When ho thought ho had a good obance, he would make a rush, and in nine cases out of ten he succeeded in breaking through his enemios’ lines and reaching his fa vorite corner, only, however, to bo at once captured and ignominiously evicted. His hop, hop, hop on deck was curious to watoh, but the sound of it overhead at night was ridiou lously irritating, and no one mourn ed very much when he took his voluntary departure. Chambers’ Journal. Horseflesh. It seems that, independent of the now much mooted question of horse flesh for human food, there can be no doubt as to the value of that ani mal’s bones for industrial and ohein ical purposes. An investigator of this subject states that tho leg hones are so very hard, and white as to bo specially valuable for bandies of pocket and table cutlery, and the ribs and head are burned to make bonoblack after they have been treat ed for the glue that is in them. In the caloining of these bones the va pors arising are oondensed and form the chief source of carbonate of am monia, which constitutes the base of nearly all ammoniacal salts. To make glue the bones are softened in muri atic acid, dissolved in boiling water, oast into squares and dried on nets. The phosphate of limo, acted upon by snlpbnrio acid and caloined with Carbon, produces phosphorus for matches. The hoofs are boiled tq extract the oil; the horny substance is shipped to the manufactories of combs and a variety of speoial arti cles. —New York Sun. Damages Assessed. “You advertise to pull teeth with out pain for 50 cents,” growled the victim, “and here you not only half pull my head off, but want me to give up a dollar. W’hat do you mean by it?” “I charged yon that extra 50 cents for yelling so," said the dentist. “I bet yon drove away all the possible customers within four blocks.”— Cincinnati Enquirer. Curious. One of the things we can’t under stand is why a man will go to the theater and laugh and applaud when the imitation locomotive crosses the stage with its deafening whistle, and when he hears a genuine whis tle five blocks away from his own house he’ll rave and swear.—Yon kers Statesman. An old speech of Henry Clay’s has come to light in which, in his own handwriting, the “applause” and “laughter” marks are shown at fre quent intervals, the speech having evidently been prepared for publica tion. The family or surname of Queen Victoria is Wet-tin. Your hooks may say that it is Guelph, but such can he proved to be a mistake. After being cut, steel pens are annealed and tempered with oil to insure great springiness to the pens. In 1892 the manufacture of iron rails had almost ceased, while near ly 1,500,000 steel rails were made. The cost of a West Point outfit complete is about S9O. WOMEN’S “LITTLE WAN'S.” This Writer Thinks Them Among the Important Things. Here is something an observing person writing in the London Queen says: "How many poopledepend almost entirely upon little ways in thoir progress through life 1 They have no speoial talents to witch the world with, no groat intellootuality, no cu rious gift, but they have a brilliant senso of self consciousness that en ables them to invent and to jndgo of their inventions, appraise thorn, reject those which are worthless, re tain those which are of value. And the inventions whioh they retain are called their little ways. How many women, for instance, have been successful in life simply bo oause ‘they have snob a way with them !’ They are not pretty. Thoir sister women regard them with un disguised amazement, marveling what any man can see in them. And the men themsolves could hardly toll you why they are attracted. They say of a oertain little lady, ‘Ob, she’s awfully taking,’ but can not explain why. But the aforesaid little lady can, you may depend up on it. “Probably in early life, looking forth upon the future, after long glances into her mirror, she resolved what should bo her armor for the fray into whioh she was entering. There were many weapons whioh she might take up. She seleoted twe or three out of the heap, and hence forth they beoame her little ways. One is a smile perhaps, an odd, orig inal, innocent smilo, that makes her look likoaohild or a baby, although, heaven knows, she must be well over 30; another is a turn of the head that causes the neck to fall in to a lovely lino from chin to bosom; a third is a pensive expression of wistful appeal that floats into her eyes and softens her mouth and suggests infinite possibilities and a longing for sympathy. That longing for sympathy! How it knooke a man over! He has it, too, or thinks ho has, which is almost the same thing. And so ho responds to tho artificial with tho real and worships at tho shrine of little ways. Perhaps one would not wander far from the truth in saying that tho world is ruled by little ways. Depend upon it, Helen had some, and the siege of Troy would never have been neces sary but for a woman’s graceful wiles. Cleopatra probably brought Antony to her feet by some tiny trick of quivering an eyelid that no other woman ever had. “There is no special reason for be lieving that Mary, queen of Boots, was a very exceptional beauty, and many people are inclined to believe rather that she was a plain female, who owed her undoubted fascina tion to her little ways. Men have their little ways too. The boau sa brour has a manner of mustache lifting that suggests chivalry and is quite irresistible. Tho young fash ionable actor knows bow to assume a graceful melancholy, a vague ethe real despair that draws the crowd. At home, over a steak and a bottle of stout, ho is jolly onough. Ho has discarded his little ways. After all, little ways may smack of insinceri ty, hut they make life full of va riety. We could scarcely do without them. And so let us bo thankful for them, nor condemn the artfulness that sometimes rises to high art,” An English Johnnie, Mr. George Grossmith, Jr., has been explaining the ways and man ners of the English Johnnie. “I am a Johnnie myself,” he said, “and can speak authoritatively about the character. When Johnnie rises in the morning, he does not take breakfast. Ho takes a brandy and soda. Then he goes on to his tailor and pays a friendly oall. From the tailor Johnnie strolls on to Pio cadilly and walks that thoroughfare till 1. Then he lunebes at his club, the Wellington or the Isthmian. Aft. er luncheon bo hurries home to change his clothes. He goos out again and walks Burlington Arcade till dinner timo. In the evening he goes to tho Gaiety or the Empire, the only places of amusement in London that ho honors with his presence. There is no restaurant for him hut the Savoy. There is no wino for him but 'hampagne. There are no wom en in tho world for him hut Letty Lind and May Yohe. I was a John nie myself. I couldn’t marry Letty Lind, so I married her sister.” Up to Date. “I will thank yon not to use that quotation again, Miss Philler, ” cold ly observed the editor of The New Woman, pointing out a sentence in an editorial article that had been submitted for her approval. Miss Phillc-r understood. She took tho manuscript back to her own room and changed “No man is a hero to his valot” to “No woman is a hero ine to her maid. ” —Chicago Tribune. The Millionaire’s Offence. “That millionaire yonder has cheated me out of a fortune.” “How? Wouldn’t be let you mar ry his daughter?” “Worse than that—he never had a daughter.”—Chicago Record- T. E.
