A SONG OF REST.
Oh, Bins me a sons of evening,
‘ a song of peace and rest,
•Who.., ' iry with useless flying.
Tin- v :■ i irils seek the nest;
When th 1 . ips of Lome are lighted,
And those we love draw nigh,
And overhead the kindly stars
Arc :oiling in the sky.
The day has been dark and dreary.
The shadow's fall thick and fast.
And 1 : ;. iimUsand my heart are weary
From battling with the blast;
And now as the shades of evening
Creep darkly o’er the land,
I sigh for a breath of peace and rest
Ami the touch of a friendly hand.
My though!s turn back in the twilight.
To scenes long passed away, labor
When fre from the thrall of
I wandered in childish play;
I see the % i*ftclad doorway,
Where oft my mother stood.
And the thoughts of a home I know no more
Gome o’er me like a flood.
Then sing me a song of evening.
Of peaceful love and rest;
I am weary of useless striving
And X long for the sheltering nest.
The rugged shadows of evening
Are lilling all the land.
And I sigh for a breath of love and rest
And the touch of a mother’s hand.
—Mortimer O. Brown in Yankee Blade.
Educating Mutes by a New Method.
The method of analyzing motion by
the chronophotograph which has been
“applied in the case of moving animals,
such as horses running or birds and in¬
sects in flight, has been employed by a
French physiological professor to ex¬
amine the movements of the lips in
speaking. The results obtained show
that the form cf the mouth is quite
definite for the different articulate
sounds.
With the photographs made com¬
bined in a zoetrope the movements of
the lips by synthesis can bo produced.
An ordinary person finds it difficult to
read the words by the animated pic¬
tures, but a deaf mute, who has been
accustomed to read from the lips of a
speaker, finds it easy to do so from the
photographs. This was actually proved
by experiment.
A young pupil of the National Insti¬
tute of Deaf Mutes could read the
vowels and diphthongs us well as the
labials. It was t ) Ot xpected that the
first results of these experiments should
be somewhat Incomplete, but they
were so encouraging that M. Demeny,
who was the first to call attention to
the possibilities in this direction, ex¬
pires- ns the hope that in continuing his
researches he will be able to develop a
new method of educating deaf mutes
by sight by mere photographic images.

To He Decided Hater.
Judge Greene, of the state of ---, ii
a good lawyer, and somewhat of e
trickier for niceties of pronunciation,
Ex-Judge Dennison, in arguing a mo¬
tion before him, had occasion to refer
to Browne on Torts, and pronounced
the authors name as though it were
upelled “Browny.” The judge passed
first mistake without notice; at the
aecond he shrugged his shoulders; ai
the third he said, “The name is Brown,
mo* Browny, it‘is Brother Dennison.”
“But spelled B-r-o-w-n-o,” said
the counsel, in Ills very deep and ureas*
uml tones; “and if that does not spell
Browny, what does it spell?”
“ ‘Brown,’ of course,” sharply an
swered the judge, whose patience was
becoming ruffled. but' “My name is spelled
O r double e-n-e, you would not
oall me ‘Greeny.’ would you?”
Mr. Dennison turned to his hooka,
saying apparently to himself, but loud
enough to be heard all over the court
room:
“That will depend upon how your
honor decides this motion. ”
Judge Greene loved a joke too well
Xiot to lead in the laugh that followed.

Expert Smeller*.
3o expert have the perfumery chemist*
become that they can, with their dif
ferent odors, counterfeit exactly tfU
odor of any flower. The educated nose
is not without its advantages financial¬
ly. The possessor of one not only earns
u large salary in the perfumery busi¬
ness, but is often able to add to his in
tome by giving expert testimony in law
suits involving patented perfumes. A
notable instance occurred a short while
ago.
il ne firm sued another for imitating
one of its patented brands. Four ex¬
perts were called in, and each was re¬
quired to distinguished between the
genuine article and the imitation. All
lour wrote their opinion on a slip of
papier and handed it to the judge. The
slips of paper all agreed.—New York
Evening Sun.
The modern method of stereotyping _
with tlie use of a paper matrix has
created a new industry in the stereo
typing of daily newspapers, and made
It possible to print a large number for
quick delivery. This gives employ
mem to many workmen not heretofore
employed tn the production of news
papers.

“The gates of the Hindoo Pantheon
are never shut,” Sir John Strachey ha.
finely observed. The truth of the re
mark is likely to receive a curious illus

ever, implies a definite religious creed.

limited number of schismatics iiave di
verged; but so far as Hindooisru Is
concerned, at all events, we have no
such creed, and if we are to apply the
term sect to the heterogeneous groups
of worshipers who call themselves Hin¬
doos we must materially modify its
ordinary signification.
As a matter of fact, the census enu¬
merators found that the ordinary Hin¬
doo did not know what was meant
when he was asked what his sect was.
All he could say was the particular god
he worshiped. The consequence is
that the census papers are crowded
with a vast number of tribal and local
gods and deities, many of which have
never been heard of before, and will
In all probability never be heard 01 .

Taking Advantage of a Mother's Love.
Captain Scoresbv relates a strik¬
ing instance of the affection of ri
whale for its young. One of his har
pooners struck a “sucker,” as the
calves are generally called, and in a
few moments the mother rose close to
the boat. Seizing the young one, she
dragged out of the boat about 600 feet
of the line and disappeared beneath the
water. Rising again she darted furi¬
ously to and fro, frequently stopping
short and suddenly changing her di¬
rection. For a long time she acted in
this manner, and so solicitous was she
for the welfare of her offspring that
she seemed totaiiy oblivious to any
danger to herself.
One of the boats finally approached
near enough to allow a harpoon to be
thrown at the dam. After two failures
one of the instruments struck her, but
she made no attempt to escape, but on
the contrary allowed three other boats
to gather about her, and was event¬
ually killed without any further resist¬
ance.—Detroit Free Press. ,
Fruits for lonng Children
The subject of fruits is one which de¬
serves more than a pacing notice,
gome parents would witlmold them al
together from their children until after
the second year. This is a very good
general rule, but it will admit of ex¬
ceptions. It is an undeniable fact that
some of them are most wholesome
foods, and the earlier children can be
accustomed to them the better. Very

Residence in Boston does not of itself
argue the possession of culture, as a re¬
cent Chicago man proved to his own
intense satisfaction.
The major bad much fun with the
conductor of the “grip” or cable car,
which he boarded at State street
“This car to Washington street?” he
asked meekly of the conductor. The
latter took his little dog whistle from
between his lips only long enough to re,’
ply “Certs'^ and then placed the whistle
back there again. The abruptness of
this response to a civil inquiry encour
aged the major to again test the con¬
ductor's vocabulary, which he did
with the following result;
“I believe the fare is five cents?”
“Correct.”
“May I smoke on this seat?”
“Sure.”
“I believe State rirvwt parallel? th a
lake?”
“Bet yer life.”
“Does this ear go near the Union
depot?”
“Nixey.”
The conductor blew his whistle and
punched up his fares, all unconscious
of the sport the major was enjoying at
his expense.—Boston Traveller. ^
IIow Some Men Made Money.
Peter Cooper had a hard time of it
getting an education. He was born in
New York 100 years ago, and at the
age of seventeen was apprenticed to a
shoemaker. He tried his hand at sev¬
eral trades, and got together a com¬
fortable fortune of about $6,000,000
through unremitting toil, conscien¬
tious devotion to duty and economical
habits.
August Belmont came to New York
poor, and lived to be worth some mil¬
lions. '^Prudence, acuteness and sagac
ity were the instruments by which his
wealth was accumulated. His success¬
ful career is an illustration of the fact
that this country affords a fine oppor¬
tunity for the intelligence, thrift and
industry not only of native Americans
but of the republic’s adopted citizens.
Austin Corbin began in moderate
circumstances. He took up the study
of the law, but soon forsook that field
for the financial world. He is a man
of strict probity, energetic and genial.
He has piled up his millions by con
stent effort and attention to all the lit¬
tle details of liis profession.
Cyrus W. Field has been termed a
locomotive in trousers. The simile
carves to convey an idea of the indefat¬
igable energy of the man.
Vice President Morton received his
business training in the dry goods trade.
Then he became a banker. In hit
youth he had to shift for himself. Ne¬
cessity is the stimulus that men of real
ability require. —Henry Clews in Ladies’
Home Journal.
One very great mistake which people
make is not using enough light. There
is a popular delusion that a good,
bright light hurts the eyes. A good,
strong, bright light is almost always
the proper thing. Even in cases of
weak, sore or inflamed eyes it is better
to have plenty of light. The eyes should
at such times have as much light as
can possibly be borne, and the cure
will go on all the more rapidly.
But for the eyes that are not sore or
inflamed the way to keep them well
and to increase their strength is to give
them all the light possible. The brighter
the light tlie more the eye will be de¬
veloped and strengthened, Weak
uesses and disabilities of the eyes from
overuse are often seen, but a good,
bright, strong light does not usually do
wiy harm. It tends to do good, create
health and give strength. — Loudon
