THE LAST LEAF.
We see the patriarch still
Briskly treading Beacon Hill
Full of Joy;
For his heart is pure nnd glad
As the good Sir Galahad,
Or n boy.
By the teacups when he sat,
Tho unrivaled Autocrat,
Did lie know
He would sotno day cling, ah mol
l-oat leaf on the lonely trot*.
Bent with snow!
Had he felt and had he known
IIo would wear the hays alone.
Still I hold
Never would have blanched his cheek.
Still his harp hud blessed tho weak,
• Charmed the old
Ills the gosixd of good cheer,
Doctor's art and poet's ear
Joined to bless;
Heart with humankind atouch.
Like tho Muster healing such
In tho press.
Writing no Impassioned screed*
To uphold a party’s creeds
Or It* wrongs;
Broader than his Brahmin caste.
He has won the world at last
With Ids nongs.
Still he walks the Boston streets,
And lie smiles at those he meets
As he roauiu.
Ah! we love that gray Imlred man;
Grasp his hand, dear, if you cun;
That's our Holmes!
—I.. Knowles in Boston Traveller.
Japanese Frugality.
Some remarkable statements arc
mude by Professor Rein, a scientist
who 1ms been investigating the mate
rial resources of Japan. They reveal
a national frugality and economy of a
marvelous typo. The area of Japan is 1
less than that of California. Its culti
vated land is less than one-tenth of its
total acreage, yet its products support
about 88,000,000, In Japan 2,000 ]>er-
sons subsist from ouch square mile of
tilled land. A people existing in such
circumstances must, from necessity of
preservation, ho provident, painstak
ing, hard working, ingenious and fru
gal. The Japs appear to deserve all
these adjectives. Agriculture with
them is literally market gardening,
because the soil is required to produce
more than any other place in tho
world.—Once u Week.
I’oHtugo Stamps Good Until Usud.
Piersons having old postage stamps
sometimes think they are rendered
worthless by the issue of now ones.
This is not so. Tho only obsoleto
stamps are thoso of the issues of 18-17
and 1851, very few of which are now
in existence in the north, und these
are generally worth more than their
face value for collectors. The issues
of 1861, 1869 und 1870 are us good in
the puyment of postage as the new is
sues. . The reason the issues of 1847
and 1851 are not accepted is because
large amounts of these were outstand
ing in tho south at the time of the re
bellion, and the present holders of
them probably secured them without
rendering an equivalent to Undo Sam.

King: Leopold and Queou Victoria.
King Leopold of Belgium speaks
and writes English with ease and ac
curacy. Ho never lets a Sunday pass
without writing an uutograph letter
to his friend and ully, Queen Victoria,
Whenever ho travels lie takes with
him his confidential English attend
ant, Mr. Charles Murray, who has
been in his service nearly a quarter
of a century. Although tho king of
tho Belgians has uged perceptibly dur
ing tho' past ten years, he has never
lost tho equanimity of temper which
made him so popular in his youth.
The king is now 55 years of age, hut
his health Is good und he expects to
live many years more.—New York

Where Some Jersey Cow* Come From.
There was a time when nobody hi
this country paid $400 for a cow. Now
we are not surprised to read of one
dairy farmer buying a hundred
Jerseys, in Colorado, paying that
amount in cash for everyone of them.
It still seems a little odd, however, to
get the heifers of .the Isle of Jersey
from'a Rocky mountain ranch.—Bos
ton Transcript.
Muat Be Lonesome.
The Georgia railroad has been iii op

That Altered tlio Ctue.
“Say, do you see that girl?”
“Why, yes; sho’s a beauty, too.”
“Well, you can just bet sho is. I
was engaged to her once.”
Theu there was silence for the space
of two minutes, as the two men drew
near nnd passed tho pretty young wo
man. Then the young man in tho box
coat remarked:
“You didn’t speak to each other.
How is that?”
“Well, you see,” explained tho gen
tleman with the black mustache nnd
gray hair, “it’s a very peculiar story.
Sounds like a romance, hut it's true,
every word of it. I met her I wo years
ago down nt Long Branch. She was
the daughter of an old‘Russian count,
who was reputed to be worth at least
half a million. I fell dead in love with
her, and sho seemed to he very much
attached to me. Well, you know
Thompson? I invited him down to
stay with mo for a week or two. He
came, of course. Never know Thomp
son to refuse an invitation. He met
the count's daughter. They fell in
love with each other nt first sight. lie
propdsod after he'd known her three
days, and she accepted him.
“Well, it made me mad. I knew
tho fellow only wanted the gill's
money, so I put up a job on him. 1
told him that tho count had failed,
and that ho wasn’t worth a copper.
As I expected, the blackguard went
hack to Now York that night, and next
day he wrote the girl a letter saying
that he had been mistaken and asked
to he released. The girl waxed indig
nant and sent him (lying, nnd then 1
went to work and proposed myself.
She accepted me. Well, all wont on
smoothly for a week when”
“What happened then? Did you
marry tho girl?” asked the box coated
gentleman.
“No-o. You see, nt the end of the
week the old count died, nnd when
his accounts were looked up it was dis
covered that instead of having a half
million to his credit lie was in debt to
tho tune of $200,000. Of course, you
sec, after that I couldn’t marry tho
girl very well, you know. Much as I
can do to support myself.”—Now York

Alexandre Hum us* Gmndduugliter..
Liko Victor Hugo, Alexandre Du
mas tho elder is represented in tho
present generation by two grandchil
dren only. These nrc the two (laugh
tors of his illustrious son, Mine. Lipp
man nnd Mile. Jeanninc. The first
named is a very gay, flirtatious dame,
and bothers her father a good deal by
her heedless friskinessof nature. There
is not a particle of harm about her or
her escupndes, hut ns she is the daugh
ter of the most famous dramatist of
Franco her most innocent frolics are
sure to he noted and commented upon.
Mile. Jeanninc, on the contrary, is
quiet, reserved and studious. She is
very plain, the negro type of com
plexion and feature being far inoro
pronounced in her countenance than
they are in that of Dumas himself.
This is often the case with physical
peculiarities, which will overleap one
generation to come out in a marked
form in another. Since llio crisp,
curly hair of Dumas turned gray he
has entirely lost every vestige of his
affiliation with tho colored race. The
elder Dunuts, though ho was only a
quadroon, was as dark ns a mulatto
and showed his negro blood most un
mistakably.—Cor. St. Louis Post-Dis
patch.
A Famous Stay** Family.
GeorgioDrew Barrymore divides the
honors of Crane’s new play with the
star. It is a remarkable sight to see
this gifted woman doing her level best
to satisfy her mother with her work,
a woman who, at the age of nearly 70.
is still bidding for the applause of tho
multitude with Jefferson and Flor
ence. By the wav, what a, remarkubli.
family the Drews are. Think of it, one
night the mother was playing at tho
Fifth Avenue, her son John at Daly’s,
her son Sydney at one of the other
swell theatres, and her eldest daughter
is the talk of the town at the Star.
What is the best purt of this singu
lar run of talent is that it is all good,
and that in the whole family there has
not been a had actor or bad actress.
The mother is said to be very proud of
her children, but to be a merciless
critic of their acting whenever sho has
an opportunity of seeing it But it is
no secret that she is very proud of Mrs.
Barrymore’s work.—Cor. Philadelphia
Times.
Bannocks Not the Only Food.
Some residents of North Saco got
into a discussion as to whether .the old
fakhioued bannock, made simply of
Indian meal and hot water and baked
before an open fire, was any better
than the dishes of today. To settle
the question, delegates from several
families met at the parsonage, wit
nessed the baking of a bannock and
tested the bread after it was done.
The .verdict was that the bannock wus
a success, but that there were other suc
cesses in life.—Lewiston Journal.

a point nearly even with the lower

lodged.

SCROFULA
Is that Impurity of tho blood which produces
unsightly lumps or swellings In tho neck;
which causes running sores on tho arms,
legs, or feet; which develops ulcers lit the
eyes, ears, or nose, often causing blindness or
deafness; which is tho origin of pimples, can
cerous growths, or ”humors;” which,fasten
ing upon tho lungs, causes consumption and
death. It is tho most ancient of all diseases,
and very few persons are entirely free from It.
“CURED

tho remarkable cures It has accomplished,
lias proven Itself to bo a potent and pccullur
medicine for this disease. If you Buffer from
scrofula, try Hood's Sarsaparilla.
“ Every spring my wife and children have
been troubled with scrofula, my llttlo boy,
three years old, being a terrible sufferer.
Last spring he was one mass of sores from

and all have been cured of tho scrofula. My
little boy is entirely free from sores, and all
four of my children look bright and healthy.’’
