A UOVt lITTIR.
When yea are dust .nd lam dual 1
And time >•-<»• j awed away.
What profit that hi sudden prtda
You kissed roe not today!
When you are dust and I am dust,
Oifr spirits in the wind
Will wander weary through the world,
For love they cannot find.
Or if perchance in whirl of enow
Upon some lonely hill
Our frustrate spirits meet and know
And shudder and are still,
What power to aoothe our ceaseless pain.
What hands or lips or eyes.
Before, forever torn in twain,
Our hope forever dies!
bo when I come to you tonight,
I pray that at the door
I find you standing warm and bright,
As you have stood before,
I pray you let me kiss again
Your hands and lips and eyes,
For us, the life of love, and then
The death that never dies!
—Herbert Muller Hopkins in Bookman.
Two Mountain Lions.
A writer in Outing gives an ac
count of a hunter’s thrilling adven
ture with two mountain lions. The
huntsman saw, above the ledge and
a little beyond, the ears and head
of a lion as it sat watching a deer.
He rose in his saddle to place a bul
let, as he said, midway betw’een
those ears, when, before he had time
to realize what W’as occurring, a
powerful lion leaped from behind a
tree on the ledge of the rock above,
and, striking him in the chest, car
ried him off his horse headlong
down the mountain, and his horse
ran away.
A moment later Jake was lying
on his back in the snow, his head
up hill, and the beast standing over
him with one paw planted firmly on
his chest, the other slightly lifted
and wagging its tail in delight,
while its hot breath was exhaled in
to Jake’s face.
The man’s first impulse was to
hold down his chin tightly, to pre
vent his throat being torn open,
while ho cautiously felt for his knife.
He found his knife, and as he drew
it a slight grating sound caused the
lion to rebound and utter a scream
which Jake know was a call to the
other lion.
Fearing to make a motion of es
cape or resistance, the man moved
bis hand back in the snow in search
of his rifle, which had been lost in
the fall. His finger touched the
stock. He cautiously pulled it dow’n
by his side, and, still looking his
captor straight in the eyes, slowly
turned tho rifle till its muzzle faced
the lion.
The bullet passed through its
heart, and it sank on Jake’s feet.
Before ho could move from his help
loss position the other lion bounded
over the precipice, and, somewhat
overleaping its mark, alighted in the
snow and instantly received a bullet
in its brain. The two lions lay dead,
not ten feet apart.
The Telltale Letter.
An Indian servant was once sent
by his master to a friend’s house
some distance away. He had to car
ry with him four loaves of bread
and a letter. Being hungry, the In
dian ate one of the loaves. When
he reached his destination and hand
ed in the letter with only three
loaves, his theft was of course in
stantly discovered, and, the circum
stance being reported to his mas
ter, he was flogged.
Some time afterward he was sent
again with loaves and a note. Right
ly guessing that the mysterious pa
per had told of his misconduct the
last time, the Indian on this journey
carefully hid the letter under a large
stone, so that it could not see him.
Then he onoe more ate a loaf, chuc
kling to think how he Lad cheated
the telltale paper.
Judge of his amazement when he
was found out again, all through
the wonderful letter. He confessed
his theft and told how he had tried
to cheat the paper, but it was too
clever for him.—Times of India.
A Singular Incident.
The late Lord Lilford, in his re
cently published work on the birds
of Northamptonshire, England, tells
this story of a singular incident
which occurred in one of his fre
quent visits to Spain. “I first learn
ed,’ he says, “the news of Presi
dent Abraham Lincoln’s murder
from a scrap of a Spanish newspaper
found in a nest of the kite by my
climber, Agapo, near Aranjuez.”
The first United States coins bore
the likeness of Martha Washington.
The general was greatly annoyed
and had the die altered, fearing that
his political opponents would con
strue the image on the coin as indi
cating a desire for royal boners.
Many persons are so sensitive to
the changes of weather that they are
themselves natural barometers and
can foretell a change, though unable
to explain the manner in which they
are affected by it.
In 1837 St. John’s was almost de
stroyed by fire. The estimated value
of the burned bouses and their con
tents was $5,000,000.
Among the Latin Christians there
have been seven different dates fixed
for the beginning of the year.
The first night watchmen were li
censed by the New York common
council in Jt'97. -
CITIKB AND MANUFACTURES.
N.v Tsrfc Ate<»4 la lam. Vhiafft, k«* MH
la Alt Broach.* as Industry.
At the breaking out of the Revo
lutionary war Philadelphia was the
chief city in population in the Unit
ed States, and it retained that posi
tion until 1815, and along with it it
held until recently the first position
in respect to manufactures. By the
census of 1880 New York stood
ahead of Philadelphia in manufac
tures, and in 1890 Philadelphia fell
to third place, Chicago taking sec
ond.
While New York is at the head in
point of total product, it is exceeded
by other American cities in certain
industries. In iron work Chicago,
which has 90 factories, stands at the
head, and New York comes second,
with 80 only. In the manufacture
of jewelry Providence comes first,
Newark, N. J., second and New
York third. In the manufacture of
rubber goods Boston is far in ad
vance of New York, and the second
place on the list is held by Cleve
land. In the manufacture of shirts
Troy comes first, New York second
an« Philadelphia third. In the man
ufacture of soap and candles Chica
go comes first and New York second.
In the manufacture of woolen goods
Philadelphia is far in advance of all
other cities, Lowell, Mass., occupy
ing the second place.
In the manufacture of wire, in
cluding wire work and wire cable,
San Francisco comes first and
Wilkesbarre, Pa., second. In the
manufacture of trunks and valises
Newark, N. J., stands first and Mil
waukee second. In the manufacture
of cigars and cigarettes, a business
in which more than $50,000,000 is
invested, New York city easily takes
first place, but in the manufacture
of smoking and chewing tobacco a <?
snuff St. Louis comes first, Rich
mond second and Baltimore third.
In the manufacture of hats and caps
Philadelphia comes first and New
York second.
In hosiery and knit goods Phila
delphia is first, Cohoes, N. Y., sec
ond and Milwaukee third. New
York occupies a very subordinate
place. In the manufacture of fac
tory made furniture Chicago comes
first, New York second and Grand
Rapids, Mich., third. In mill prod
ucts (flour and grist) Minneapolis
comes first, St. Louis second and
New York third. In the manufac
ture of cutlery and edge tools New
ark, N. J., comes first and Philadel
phia second; New York's place is
below that of Rochester. In the
manufacture of chemicals Philadel
phia comes first, away and beyond
other American cities, and Brook
lyn follqws second, and Syracuse is
third. In the manufacture of men’s
clothing New York comes first, Phil
adelphia second and Chicago third.
In the manufacture of women's
clothing New York comes first, Chi
cago second and Cincinnati third. In
brass work, castings and finishings,
Waterbury, Conn., comes first, Phil
adelphia second and Baltimore third.
In the manufacture of boots and
shoes Lynn, Mass., is first, Brock
ton, Mass., second, Haverhill, Mass.,
third and St. Louis fourth. Chicago
is first in agricultural implements,
New York in bookbinding, Brook
lyn in cooperage, Portland, Or., in
awnings, tents and sails, Fall River
in cotton goods, with Lowell second,
Chicago in lumber products, Chica
go in musical instruments and
spring beds, Philadelphia in patent
medicines, St. Louis in harness and
saddlery, Paterson in silk goods,
Chicago in meat packing, Philadel
phia in umbrellas and canes and
New York in the manufacture of
malt liquors, with Philadelphia sec
ond and St. Louis third. New York
also contrives to keep at the head of
the cities of the country in the con
sumption of malt and spirituous liq
uors.—New York Sun.

Fly Paper.
Flies have become so acute that
poison paper no longer attracts
them. A new dish is now prepared
for them which has been very suc
cessful. Take a teaspoonfal of
ground black pepper and mix it with
3 teaspoonfuls of brown sugar.
Moisten the compound with milk
and place where there are rays of
light. The flies will generally be
quickly attracted and eat greedily.
If they do, it will be their last meal,
for the least taste of it is to a fly
poison.— New York Sun.
SCHOOL 100 YEARS AGO,
The Biffld BUeiyliM Uttlc Mary Fairfax
Waa Called Vpoa te Vnderyo.
It was not in this joyous fashion,
however, that school presented it
self to another and far brighter lit
tie girl, Mary Fairfax, who was
born over 100 years ago, and who
afterward became Mrs. Somerville
and one of the most learned women
in England. Mary was fortunate
enough to live the first ten years of
her life by the seashore, the happi
est, wildest, shiest child that ever
played all day long on the yellow
sands and made huge collections of
shells, and weeds, and pebbles, and
other treasures brought her as play
things by the waves. When it rain
ed and her mother would not per
mit her to run out, she read over
and over again the three books
which formed her library—“ Tho
Arabian Nights,” “Robinson Cru
soe” and “Pilgrim’s Progress.”
Now and theii her father, who was
ftn officer in the English navy, came
home from sea, and finding bis lit
tle daughter as ignorant as a child
could be he made her read aloud to
him every morning a chapter of
Hume’s “History of England.”
This was all her education Until
she was 10 years old, when one
dreadful day her parents sent her
to a boarding school, a small and
very expensive boarding school, kept
by Miss Primrose, who was so state
ly and so severe that her pupils used
to say they never saw her smile.
Thanks to the healthy outdoor life
she had always led, little Mary was
straight and strong as a young In
dian, but that did not save her from
the ingenious tortures designed for
stooping children and which she de
scribes for us in het memoirs:
“A few days after my arrival I
was inclosed in stiff stays with a
steel busk in front, while, above my
frock, bands drew my shoulders
back till the shoulder blades met.
Then a steel rod, with a semicircle
which went under the chin, was
clasped to the steel busk in my
stays. In this constrained state I
and most of the younger children
had to prepare our lessons.”
Think of it, you luxurious little
people who prepare your lessons
lolling on rocking chairs, nestling
in sofa corners or lying comfortably
on warm hearth rugs before cheer
ful fires! Think of studying a whole
page of Johnson’s Dictionary every
day, spelling, definitions, even the
Very position of each word in the
long columns, and all the while un
able to lean backward or forward
or turn your head from side to side,
unable even to see what the girl
next to you was doing. That was a
discipline which must have made
home and the dear shining ocean
sands a picture of paradise—of para
dise lost—to poor, tired, timid Mary
Fairfax. And the worst of it was
she learned so little at Miss Prim
rose’s school that, w’hen she escaped
for her first holidays, she covered
herself with disgrace by writing
“bank knot” for bank note and was
severely scolded for being so idle
and wasting such golden opportuni
ties.
She was taught to sew, however,
very neatly, and in after years she
grew so passionately fond of study—
of real, hard, severe, uncompromis
ing study—that it was necessary,
when she was 15, to take away her
candles, so ihat she might not sit
up half the night over her books.
Even then she us«d to arise at day
break, wrap herself in a blanket—
not being allowed a fire—and work
away at algebra and Latin until
breakfast time. She wrote a number
of valuable works on scientific sub
jects, and she lived to be 92 years old,
proving that neither hard schools
nor hard study is certain to short
en our days.—Agnes Repplier in St.
Nicholas.
Not to Be Found In the Reports.
A prominent Philadelphia lawyer
was narrating to a younger advocate
some of the delays and complica
tions of a chancery suit in which he
was engaged. “Bless me, ” said the
junior advocate, “I never heard of
anything parallel to that except
Jarndyce versus Jarndyce.” The
other at once looked thoughtful, and
pretty soon, pleading an engage
ment, went off. The next morning
he went into the younger man’s of
fice with an air of great vexation.
“Look here!” he said. “Why can’t
you remember names accurately?
Here I’ve spent the whole night try
ing to find that case of Jarndyce
versus Jarndyce that you mention
ed, and there isn’t any such case in
the Pennsylvania law reports at all I”
—Bookman.
Cheering.
An Argonaut reader sends us the
following from Sonora, Mexico: A
mining man down here told me that
when he became engaged he wrote a
letter full of rhapsodies to a former
partner of his who had married dur
ing their separation of several years,
acquainting him with the fact. In
return he received the following:
Dear Ton—l got your letter yesterday. So
you are going to get married. All right. Go
ahead. I’ve been married three years. For
the first three months you’ll wish yourself in
hadei-; then, probably, you'll gradually get
u*ed to it
