’ 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.

“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

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.”

“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.

“That millionaire yonder has
cheated me out of a fortune.”
