OUTGROWN.
Nay, you wrong her, my friend, her lore she has
- pimply outgrew el
One can rend the whole mitrer, translating her
heart by the light of one's own.
Two mwnt.ni ago when you wooed her yew stood
o the self name plane
race to face, heart to heart, never dreaming your
souls couhl he parted again.
She loved you at that time entirely la the ldoou
of her life's early May,
and it Is not her fault I repeat It—that she does
not love you today.
Nature never stands still, nor souls either; they
either go up or go down,
And here has been steadily soaring, but bow has
It been with your own !
She has struggled and yearned and aspired,
grown purer and wiser each year;
The stars are now farther above you In yon lumi
nous atmosphere.
For she whom you crowned with fresh roses
down yonder flve summers ago
Has learned that the Unit of our duties to Ood
and ourselves Is to grow.
Her eyes now are sweeter and calmer, but their
vision ht clearer as well;
Her voice haa a tenderer cadence, but Is pura as a
silver belt
Hose you, too, grown purer and wiser as the
months and the years have rolled onf
Did you meet her this morning rejoicing In the
Mtwipbs u f victory won*
Nay, Ivsr me—the truth cannot barm you~when
today in her presence you stood
Was the band that you gave her as white and fw
clean as that of her womanhood!
Go measure yourself try her standard, look back
on the years that have fled;
Then ask, if you need, why she tells you that the
love or her girlhood is dead.
She cannot look down to her lover—her love, like
her soul, aspires;
He must stand by her side, or above her, who
would kindle its holiest Area

A Mouse Walks the Tight Hope.
An amusing incident was witnessed
on St. Paul, Payette and Charles streets,
in which a small mouse figured as a
high wire performer, attracting the at
tention of a largo number of spectators
of both sexes. When the mouse was first
soon he was on a telephone pole at St.
Paul street and Bank lone, and is sup
posed to have oome from one of the
telephone conduits, which are infested
with mice. From the pole tho little
rodent walked deliberately along one
of the telephone wires and up St. Paul
street to Fayette street.
Hero he was seen by two sparrows,
who Immediately showed fight, prob
ably because they thought the wires
tho exclusive property of their tribe
ant! resented the intrusion. The spar
rows would swoop down os near as
they dared, giving vent to their pecul
iar, shrill notes of anger, but as the
mouse also showed fight they were a
little afraid of making too close an ac
quaintance. Tho two sparrows were
soon joined by others, tuid if their cries
had been of any avail would have
come off victorious. As it was, tho
mouse traveled on up Fayette street to
Charles street and finally escaped.—

Artificial Uubies.
About three years ago two French
chemists succeeded in producing rubies
artificially. The crystals obtained,
however, were small, and since then
the inventors imve been occupied with
the problem of increasing the size of
the rubies obtained. To this end con
siderable changes linvo been made in
their methods of operating. Instead
of using pure alumina, as formerly,
alumina alkalinized by potassium car
bonate is employed. This addition of
an alkali does not alter the purity of
the crystals obtained, while it facili
tates their regular formation.
In the original experiments tho op
eration was completed in twenty-four
hours, but the reaction is now extended
over several months, with, the result of
obtaining much larger crystals. As
much ns seven pound weight of rubies
is said to lmve been obtained at a single
operation. Although the crystals are
still relatively small, they are sufficient
ly large to mount, which was not the
case in the first essays of the inventors.

Pompon* Hint True.
Language is the dress of thought, and
as the noblest mien or most graceful
action would lie degraded and ob
scured by a garb appropriated to the
gross employment of rustiesor mechan
ic*, so the most heroic sentiments will
lose their efficacy and the most splendid
ideas drop their magnificence if they
are conveyed by words used commonly
upon low and trivial occasions, debased
by vulgar -mouths and contaminat ed
by inelegant applications. Samuel
Johnson.
The reckless wrong spelling of names
is an illustration of common ignorance.
It is safe to say that in almost any com
pany of twenty acquaintance! there
are not two who can write correctly
the names of all present. This is par
ticularly true of city life, where one
meets many persons daily. It is a com
mon thing for men to bo long ac
quainted and yet have but imperfect
knowledge of oue another's names.

A Hafti Mode of Tranxlt.
There are few instruments or pieces
of apparatus more delicate aud fragile
than many of the costly and intricate
productions of mechanical skill in gen
eral use today by electrical companies
for the purposes of refined electrical
measurement, and it can easily be un
derstood that the difficulty of stripping
these expensive and easily deranged
instruments from place to place with
out risk of damage from careless hand
ling In transit is a perplexing question
both to manufacturers and users. A
famous English electrician says that
lie early adopted a plan which proved
so successful that he lias adhered to it
ever since.
Finding that careful packing and
conspicuous labels stating the contents
to be “glass, with great care’’ were not
always sufficient to prevent breakage
and damage to delicate parts, he hit on
tiie idea of sending out all his instru
ments in beautifully polished mahog
any cases with brass handles and
mountings. The exquisite appearance
of the eases appealed successfully even
to the callous natures of porters and
dock bands; they positively had not
the heart to scratch the immaculate
polish by rough handling, and the free
dom of the instruments from damage
amply repaid the extra cost of the lux
urious cases.—New York Commercial
Advertiser.
A a to Bice.
One of tho most nutritious and at the
same time palatable dishes placed on the
table is rice. It should be more fre
quently and generously used than it is.
In appearance rice much resembles
wheat in Its early growth. The head
more nearly resembles oats, but the
kernel resembles barley, and is more
closely packed in the head than oats.
It stools quickly, having SO to 100
straws from one seed and 100 to 400
seed in a head. It is the only small
cereal plant that yields tho hundred
fold of Scripture measure.
With good cultivation and earn rice
yields Ifi barrels (00 bushels) per acre.
This brings an average of $3 per barrel
—s4s per acre. The cost of growing,
harvesting and marketing will generally
reach $1 per barrel—say §ls per acre—
unless you have to pump water by
steam. Most of the rice is ruined by
natural irrigation, rain water flowing
from Higher lands and held by levees.
There are over 1,000,000 acres of prairie
land in southwestern Louisiana capable
of producing rice, and enough can be
raised here to support ail North Amor
ica. -Exchange.
