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. —Hartford Courant. 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 World. ___ 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 eration forty years, and never killed a passenger or had a mortgage on its property. It is needless to say that all passengers over this lino have a lone some feeling and notice a lack of something.—Detroit Free Press. No Bond Required.

Perhaps Pop Will Go It. ‘‘We are overrun with rats, but pa won’t let us have a cat or a dog.” “Why don’t you get a weasel? You know the proverb, Pop goes the wea sel.”—Chatter. A Cyclone Tilt. Student of Human Nature—Why do you always wear your hat to one side? Plug Ugly—Where I live the wind always blows from that direction.— Chicago Times. 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 Evening Sun. 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. He Ilad a Better Scheme. Phil Osopher—Never borrow trou ble.* Hooker Crook—I don’t. Can you lend ine£5?—Van Dorn’s. While bird hunting W. R. Bunk- ' ley, of Leesburg, Ga., killed a white j lark, the first ever seen in that section.

Hiram Darnell, of Jasper, Ga., had a bullet cut out of his back which had been there twenty-six years. It first went through his hand, then struck him on the cheek, cutting the flesh and coursing its way to the back of the neck, then down the back bone to a point nearly even with the lower part of the shoulder blade, where it lodged.
