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. A Solo Fart.

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 —San Francisco Argonaut. HARVEST EXCURSIONS To Arkansas and Texas.
