DEATH OF CHEVALIER BAYARD.
When Bayard, knight of stainlcw. name.
With France’* shattered legions flying,
Italia's Alpine ram ports oroesed.
And ot his mortal wound lay dying.
He bade his soldiers 'nealh an oak
Shading tuo river's tranquil Sow
Bear him. where. r*atlng ’gainst its Irani.
Ho nUII might face [be too.
Plumed knights and warriors bronzed and
bearded.
Lamenting, preen around the spot;
"Oh, hem soul, fair ahield of France,
Whose honor knows nor stain nor bkrtf
“God la her shield!” brave Bayard gasped;
“Haste, haste yo to your standards back.
My last farewell bear to my king;
Haste, the foe’s on your track!”
Ay, onward rush the coining foes;
He who alone their ranks could stay
Lies prostrate, at; J tbo sons of Spain
Dash swiftly to the fray.
Pescara's falchion flashes bright,
De Honrbon's shout rings loud and clear.
But with lowered blade springs each brave
knight
From Belle, who Bayard draws near.
The crimson aod Pescara secs.
Ills clarion voice is sad and low;
“Oh, I would give nay own heart’s blood
To save my noble foci”
Badly the traitor liourtxjn spoke:
“Oh, llowcrof knighthood, must wo meet
In gttlso like this? Dark, dark the hour
That secs thoo dying at my feet!"
Bayard’ wan face glows deeply red.
Beneath his helmet's waving plume.
“Nay, nay, ray lord, do ruth for me.
Darker by far thine hour of doom.
On honor’s held I sink to rest,
Deal to my king, to duty leal;
Keep pity for the 1 rultor soul
Who 'gainst his country turns lii* stock"
—Mary J. Stafford in New York Ledger.
The Vagabond Dog.
Anybody who has lived in a small
town knows the vagabond street dog.
Nobody seeins to know how he disposes
of himself at but during the day
he lives on friendly terms with most of
the errand boys and other frequenters
of the streets. His tail has a wag of
reeojgnition for every familiar face, and
he will even sidle up to a stranger now
and again With on artful simulation of
sudden and overpowering affection.
But if you attempt to decoy him far
from liis habitual haunts the vagrant
nature asserts itself, and after another
bit of excellent acting in the shape of
feigned reluctance to say good-by he
trot* leisurely back to his favorite re
sort..
Such dogs nre commonly ill bred In
more senses than one. They have no
doubt lost their primitive savageness.
They assume a friendly aspect toward
man in general, hut they have no heart,
and prefer the streets to the woods sim
ply because they offer a more tempting
hunting ground.'—Cornhill Magazine.
How One Term Origiimtcd.
Baek during the timo of Queen IClir.
abeth an act of parlituuent was passed
prohibiting tlie exportation of wool.
This product was one of the great
source's of the natural wealth of Eng
land at that time, and, in accordance
with the ecoirfhnic notions of the age,
tho authorities attempted to keep it in
the country, imagining that if it went
abroad, even though something more
valuable or desirable were exchanged
for it, that the country would he the
poorer.
In order to hold tho importance of
tliis commodity before tho minds of
the national legislators wool sacks were
placed in the house of lords, where the
judges sat. Hence, tho lord chancellor,
wiio presides over tho house of lords,
“sits on the woolsack." The woolsack,
according to a printed description
which we have soon, is a “large square
bag of wool, without back or arms,
and covered with red cloth.”—St.
Louis Globe-Democrat.
IVlmt Mantis Show.
It is conceded by all that no two
pairs of hands are exactly alike. It is
also conceded that a hand may indi
cate strength or weakness, beauty or
plainness, sensibility or brutality, and
vigorous or poor health. It is further
more conceded that the hands of artists
and musicians commonly have long and
tlexiblo fingers, while the fingers of arti
sans :u>4 farmers arc shorter and thick
er. A muscular Imnd, with a vigor
ous grip, witli few short lines, with the
lines prominent, belongs as evidently to
ahoalthy subject as doesallabby, skin
ny hand, with a feeble grip, with nu
merous short, pale linos, to a nervous
subject.—l). D. Bidwell in New York
Ledger.
A Crack In a riece of Metal.
A crack in a piece of metal is pre
vented from extending farther by tho
well known means of drilling a hole
where tho rent ends; but when the
hole is not bored on just that spot the
crack is apt to continue beyond the
hole. Itovue Industrielle recommends
moistening the cracked surface with
petroleum, then wiping it and then im
mediately rubbing it with chalk. The
oil that lias penetrated into the crack
exudes, and thus indicates with pre
cision where the crack stops.
A Tramp on tl Washing Question.
“If your appearance is any indication
I think 1 may bo justified in assuming
that you are opposed to washing,”
ventured Mr. Hungry Higgins’ hostess.
“Washiu’,” answered Mr. Higgins
after a moment of mental abstraction,
during which lie absently tried to blow
the foam oil his cup of cold coffee—
“wasliin’, ma'am, is a mighty good
thing to support a family on, but it
seems to sorter sour a woman’s temper.
In fact that's how I come to go on the
read.”—lndianapolis Journal.

For tlijs affection, which is so often

Loulu On© Never deard Of.
There b no doubt that there are hun
dreds of books in circulation today of
which the general literary public ha*
never heard, books ‘which liave sold
into the hundreds of thousands and
brought their authors and publishers
mints of money. These books are
sold by subscription and never pene
trate into the cities. They are sold to
country families, sometimes a hundred
in a single small village. Not long ago
I came across the list of a subscription
publishing house which printed the
number of copies sold of the books on
their catalogue. The figures were
amazing. Of twenty-eight books not
one had sold less titan 50,000 copies,
and several had exceeded 300,000. Yet
I had never heard of one of the titles
to the books.
I recall the manuscript of a technical
book on machinery being 1 landed in
once into a large publishing house.
The firm declined it, and it met the
same fate at four other houses. Finally
the author sent it to a large subscrip
tion house, and they snapped at it
The publishers who had rejected the
uu.nuscript laughed, but they lived to
have the laugh turned on them. I saw
the author’s royalty statements on that
book about a year ago. which showed
a total salo of 70,000 copies of that
book in three years!—Edwin W. Bok’s
Letter.
The Cliiltem Hundreds.
The Ohiltern Hundreds were three
districts comprising a wooded region in
the south of England, between the
counties of Bedford and Hertford.
They were formerly much infested by
robbers, and two centuries ago an offi
cer was appointed, apparently at the
advice and with the concurrence of
parliament, to suppress robbery. This
official was called the steward of the
Chiltern Hundreds, and as ho seems to
have been selected from among the
members of parliament his connection
with that body ceased'on his appoint
meat. The office exists at present only
in name, but out of the original ap
pointment grew the curious legal fiction
that a member of parliament could not
resign, but could retire from his parlia
mentary duties only by appointment to
the stewardship of the Chiltern Hun
dreds or some other nominul office
which could bo bestowed by tho chan
cellor of tho exchequer.—St. Louis
Globe-Democrat.
Small Tables for Dinner.
An idea from Paris that one or two
New York hostesses hero recently intro
duced is that of serving a dinner at
small tables in lieu of one long one. It
is perhaps rather a relief from tho mo
notony of a long table, which in the
case of a large dinner ought never to
be, but it is doubtful if after the nov
elty has worn off it will be liked. The
seats of honor will always ho at the
hostess’ table, and heartburnings and
Jealousies are sure to arise among those
who find their places at the less favored
ones. As only persons with largo din
ing rooms now undertake large dinners,
it is common for the two parallel lines
to be -broken by different arrangements
whioh still keep ull tho guests at a com
mon board.—Her Point of View in
New York Times.
Ho—My wit is different from yours
in one respect, at least—it leaves uo
sting.
She—Yes, it leaves uo stiug • it mere
ly tickles—and then, too, it merely
tickles you. —Life.
