THE WAY OF THE WORLD.
There sat n crow on a lofty tree,
Watching the world go l>y:
He saw a throne tliat swept along
With lau^hte?- loud and high.
'Ill and out through the motley rout"
Pale ghosts sfctle on unseen.
Their hearts were longing for one sweet word j
Of the love that once hud Iteen.
But never a lip there sjwke their names.
Never a tear was shed:
The crow looked down from his lnftv tree,
"'Tis the way of the world," ho said.
A singer stood in the market-place,
Singing a tender lay,
But no one heeded his s?>rrowfu'. face,
No one hnd time i > stav.
He turned away: he :-ang 110 more;
How couid lie sing in vain.'
And then the world came to his door
Bidding him sin^ a^ain.
But he recked not whether .they camo or
went
He in his garret dea I:
The crow looked down fr>m his lofty tree,
"Tis the way of the world,'' l>e said.
There sat a queen by a cottage bed,
Spoke to tlie widow there:
Did she not know the same hard blow
The peasant had to bear.'
And she kissul th it humble jieasant's brow, j
Anil then she bent her knee:
"God of the widow, heli> her now,
As thou hast heljied me.''
'Now God l>e thanked.'' said the old, old
crow,
As he sj>ea from his lofty bou?'n;
' The times are ill, but there's much goo 1
still
In the way of the world. I trow."

F; A STORl* OF SHIPWliKCK.
"Tell us how your hair turned white,"
said one of the party at the fireside.
"In June, 1851.'' said the man with
the white hair. "I left my home in Ohio
? for Buffalo. Being in a hurry to return, I
I took passage by the steamer <r. r. I
Griffith for Toledo, on a late Sunday af- j
ternoon. The ship carried over 400,passengers
and crew. I must have siept
soundly for about two hours in my berth,
when I was awakened by the sound of
F! hurrying footsteps overhead, and. lookinc
through the ventilator to the upper
deck, I saw two or three sailors running
along dragging a hose pipe. I partly
dressed and went forward to the promenade
deck, where I heard from the pilot
house above the voice of the captaiu cry- j
8?7 ^ing, 'Starboard! Hard starboard! audi
' steer her for the shore!'
"The ship veered from her course'and i
headed for the shore, five miles away. I |
went back to my stateroom, awakened j
the man in the olher berth, and rapped
on several of the doors. As 1 came out j
again into the cabin 1 saw smoke curling |
* out from the side. The command had |
been given to all up tlic passengers, and ;
when I isgaincreached the forward deck '
they were crowding upon it. Just aroused I

f; . iromsiwj>,nn:> uuiiim .-nil..... ...vo-v.. ?.
in their niirht clothes, many currying chil
dren,.bandboxes, bird-cages, carpet bags
and bundles, all anxious to save something.
I ciimbed up on the railing and,
taking hold of a stanchion, swung my4
self to the main deck below. Stepping
over the forms of many who were lying !
there still asleep, I went around to the j
engine and. looking up. saw that the ,
lire had broken out near the smoke stack :
in a spot so difficult to get at that in all i
probability the ship was doomed. Hurry- j
ing back to the main deck, upon which j
\ the crowd was fast increasing I removed :
v all my clothing but my night shirt and j
L v drawers. Taking my money and valu- j
x ables, I rolled them up with my trousers j
^^^^^Aand iaid them carefully away on deck I
fl^HtafPivhere I might recover them if the ship ;
should escupe destrue tion. Climbing up j
on the rail near the gangplank, I hehl on |
until the frantic crowd, pressing for- j
ward, forced me away. I crept along on j
the gunwale to near the wheel on the ;
land side, where I clung and watched i
the crowd as they surged forward from
the approaching flames.
"There was scarcely a scream heard. :
As the flames drove them further and j
further forward whole columns of people |
fer were pushed into the water. Husbands j
caught their wives and children, and,
throwing them overboard, jumped after j
them. Women with babes in their arms i
went about pitcously begiring some one I
to save their children, and when they i
were pushed or jumped into the water I
held their infants high above their heads. !
After thev were drowned their quilted j
skirts buoyed them up, and I saw babies j
jjPP^^^^^ctunllv trying with their little hauds to |
~ ^^Bftitch the dancing light of the ilanics in
<?_ the water.
K-v- "The ship grounded at daybreak in |
oVxmif *?? f,,,.t ,,f u-,itr.r .1 morn I
than half a mile from the shore. The j
water all about the forward part of her |
was full of drowned and drowning people.
Many good swimmers struck out
for the shores, but from ali sides the poor :
drowning wretches would clutch them i
P' ? and drag them down.
''The flames drove me of! at last. In j
the water just beneath me was a strug- I
gling crowd of drowning creatures cling- j
ing to each other. Suddenly a space of
about twenty feet cleared instantly by
their sinking out of sight, draggingeach
other down. I determined to jump, swim
toward the stern of the boat until out of
reach of the clutches of the drowning, |
and then make a detour fur the shore. I
Remembering how 1 used to jump into ;
the water as a bov, when learning to j
swim, I put my f.et closely together,
arms straight by my side, and plunged
down like a wedge to the bottom, with
my eyes wide open. For a brief second
I saw lying on the bed of the lake heaps
of dead bodies in all positions. On rising
to the surface 1 struck out with my arms,
but to my horror found my feet bound
tightly together. The band of my drawers
had burst, and, slipping down, had 1
bound my ankles as securely as if tied. I
Turning on my back, I carefully disen- j
t'ingled them from each foot. These ef- j
forts greatly exhausted me, but, once ;
free, I swam toward the stern until I was
quite clear of all obstructions, and then )
struck out for shore. One strong swim- j
mer passed me and spoke some cncour- i
aging words. I saw others who must
; have become dazed, swimming back :nto j
the lake.
"I was not an experienced swimmer, but
%. I had passed, as I had judged, nearly
4 half the distance to the shore when a
deathlike coldness and numbness came I
creeping over me. All the life 1 had left j
seemed centred in my head, which felt :
like a ball of lire. I found that I was j
turning round and round in the water, |
N? now catching glimpses of the burning
ship, to which even yet a few hum-.n be- ;
. ings were clinging, and now of tlie beach.
Could I ever reach it ? Was it worth j
while to struggle any longer ? Kvcrv :
f movement caused intense pain m my
I chest and lungs. It seemed so easy to j
EL die now.
H' "I ceased all efforts and raised niv eyes j
H for a last look at theskv. I was struck
by a peculiar golden haze of the atmosphere,
and the air seemed tilled with
human forms hovering over the drowning.
The air was tilled with them, and
close beside me I recognized my father,
Jjrother and other friends who had died
, ma'ny years before. They called me by |
name. They pressed closely around me. |
telling me to struggle on and they would j
aid me?that my work was not done? !
that I could not he spared vet.
4<A little strength came back to mc.
I remembered that I must be more than |
half way to the shore. The water could j
not be over five feet deep. I let myself i
dewn, and felt the sand under me.
Aided by my spirit friends, whose hands '
and presence were as real to me as any
human touch, I crept 0:1 my hands and
|> knees on the sand for some distance,
rising often to breathe. Becoming too
weak for this, with my heavy head constantly
falling backward, I sank to the
bottom, and drew my body with my arms
near and nearer to the shore, rising to
the, wiace as often as necessary. A man
Avas lying on the beach, one of the few
who ever reached it. When he saw me

water's edge, and. reaching out his hands,
tried to aid me. I slowly crept up a
little way out of the water, but he was
so weak that, falling backward, I would
lose my hold and sink again.
"At last I was lying on the wry sand. |
How good it seemed to lie there, if only j
I need never move ag;iin. My companion
spoke roughly yet kindly to me, telling
me -that it was sure death to remain
there. 'I refused to move, but, being
much stronger, he compelled me to get
up, and, half supporting me in his arms,
dragged me unwillingly along. A farmer
met us and almost carried me a^ro's
the fields to a low two-roomed log cabin.
In the smaller room, containing two
beds, I was at last permitted to lie down.
The long black neck of a bottle was inserted
between my lips, and I drank uDtil
it was gently removed. The draught
If"^- warmed me.
"I alternatod between consciousness :
;V) and unconsciousness, but remember much j i
It * that passed about me. A large man I '
with a tall hat, black satin vest, and ! i
heavy gold chain came in and laid down
upon the other bed. He certainly had
not been in the water,'and I wondered if
he had been saved in a boat. A man in
the next room tvas exclaiming mournfully:
' Mine (Jott! Mine Gott! Mine
monish is all gone. Mine monisli is all
gone. Mine wife is gone. Mine son is
gone. Oh, mine Gott, mine monish is
all gone!'
Again and again that mournful wail
went up. Then I heard the tall man
call out wratlifully:
" 'Won't some one kill that fellow?'
''Then I dozed off again. When T
awoke, more people were coming in,
bearing a woman, and they were saying
she was the only woman saved. I heard
them say that eight men swam ashore,
and twenty were saved in a boat. Only
twenty-eight saved out of over four hundred
! Toward evening thev put us all
in a heavy lumber wagon?on beds of
?f,? t.il-n tic tlli.v f-rt ' I.lovd's
-
Tavern, three miles away.' Jolting along
over a rough road, the pain in my chest
ami limbs became unbearable, and I remembcr
nothing more.
' Days afterward I awoke from what
seemed a long sleep. I found myself
lving on a bed in a strange room, alone.
The sound of voices came in through the
open window and from the halls, where
people were constantly pa-sing to and
fro. They were talking of a great disaster.
of dead bodies lying in heaps on
the sand waiting to be claimed, and of
others being buried in a trench. There
was something about county lines, of
coroners ipiarreling over fees, of thieves
in boats at night stripping the drowned
bodies, and tearing rings from lingers
and ears. Those monotonous voices
were forever talking about that one
thing.
44 Well, what if they were dead? The
dead were at rest. What had 1 to do
with that shipwreck? Why did not
some one come to me? What was I
.? ? > \n?.
doing nere in mis sinm-ju ruum. n
was I so stiff and sore, so full of pain, so
weak I could not move? I fell asleep
again, and when I awoke still the same
voices were talking about poor drowned
bodies, thieves, coroners and boats; |
and then came a dim recollection j
that I had known something about j
that shipwreck. It all came back to me j
clear and distinct. Soon afterward a
man came with broth and nourishing
food, of which I ate with a relish
while he answered 1113* questions. This
was Saturday, and T had left Buffalo 011
the Sunday preceding. Lloyd's tavern
was fifteen miles from t he city of Cleveland.
I must get up. How could I lie
here? I must get into the air. I must
go home. Home! Why, at home doubtless
they mourned me as dead. 1 had j
been dead for days to them, I begged
the man to bring me some clothes. He
brought me some old garments much too I
large forme, with an old black slouched
hat, and helped me to dress, lor i was
too weak to stand alone. He then
placed me comfortably in an easy chair
and told me to rest awhile. At length,
feeling rested and stronger, J arose and
moved slowly across the room toward the j
open door.
;,I saw a gray-headed old man coming
toward me, poorly dressed, with an old
hat in his hand, and a stnhby beard on
his free. I thought that perhaps he was
also one of the shipwrecked. I spokoto
him kindly, but he did not reply, and
still advanced. I stopped; he stopped
also. We stared at each other. I spoke
again. Ilis lips moved, but not a sound
left them. I drew forward a chair, and
sat down. He sat down also, staring
half fearfully at me. Great Cod! was
that mvsclf? That white hair?could it
be mine? No, it was a wig. Some one
was playing a joke upon me. I put up
my hand. No, it would not conic oil".
"I went back and lay down upon my
bed, very weak, utterly disheartened."
Later I was driven slowly down to the
beach, and I saw all that was left of the
steamer?a few blackened spars and the !
charred hull. Many people were exam- j
ining, either from curiosity or identification,
the bodies as they were bought
in. There was a long trench in the sand,
n-l.Jr.li tvnrn nlnr?f>ll tlinsc not irlrnti
tied. It appeared that the steamer had
been wrecked 011 a county line, and two
coroners were there quarreling over the
bodies and claiming their fees.
' My friend helped me out of the
wagon, and seated me on a rock close by
?a most forlorn and unkempt figure I
must tiave presented. Two men stood
near where I sat, and one of them spok
of having received another telegram
from Cleveland, inauiring if the body of
the man K had yet been found. A
cold chill ran down my back. Producing
the telegram, he read the description
:
" 'Twenty-eight years of age,5 feetfl inches
in height, weight about UK) pounds,fair skin,
blue eyes, black hair, small hands and feet,
mole on left shoulder. Has the body bee t
found.' Have it jproperlv prepared for
burial, and send to H , Cleveland.'
"I was 'K.' and they were hunting for
my body to prepare it for burial! My
friend came back just then, and I begged
to be taken to the hotel at once. I must
start for home, I said, as soon as possible.
Arriving at the house, I saw a car- !
riage and horses standing before the |
door. Four gentlemen came out una i
agreed to take me with them.
"I learned from their conversation
that my companions had been sent out
from Cleveland to identify the dead and
lind the living. Each related incidents
connected with the search. They spoke
of being out in boats, sometimes all I
night, dragging for bodies, of seeing the
thieves at their villainous work, of the
disgraceful quarreling of the coroners. I
and of the discomforts of camping out.
At length one of the gentlemen said he
regretted going back with no news of
the young man iv., whose friends were so
anxious about him.''
" 'I half believe,'said he. 'that lie was
not on the boat at all. We have seen
everybody, dead or alive, who has been
found, and no one answering his description
is discovered."
" 'Where is his description,' asked
another.
' -I have it. No, not here. I remember,
I gave it to the coroners. lie was,
as I recollect the description, a man
about twenty-eight, fair skin.Jblueeyesand
black hair. It is hard to go back with no
information. By the way. stranger, did
you see any one answering that description?'
" 'Would you be willing to take the
body without preparation for burial?' I
asked.
" 'Why, of course. Any way we could
get it.'
" 'Well, then.' said I. 'drop me at
II.'s house.'
"A shout went up from the carriage.
A few days later, after having enjoyed
the delightful evpericnce of being kissed,
cried over, and welcomed back from the
dead, I lighted a cigar, seated myself j
comfortably, and had the novel expe- |
riencc of reading my own obituary, and
a good orthodox obituary it wa-, too."?

A GLANCE AT NEW YORK'S CHEAP
LODGING AND EATING HOUSES.
Kcstaiiranltf Wliero Meals Can lie Obtained
lor six CentN-Uedw for Five
Cents a >i?lit.
The Ben Franklins who conic to town
every <lay to make their everlasting fortunes
do not need to buy rolls and walk
about the streets eating them. They can
procure a meal for very little more than
the price of the rolls. The newsboys
are not the only persons who get their
meals for six cents, although they get
more for their money in the homes established
for them than can be got by other
boys in other businesses. Their pennies
buy regular meals, with vegetables, bread,
butter, cotTcc and cake or pie. In Chatham
street. Hudson street. Ninth avenue
and down by the Battery arc res?!iur:mts
iii which a large por
(ion of moat, accompanied by a slice
of bread ami a tablespoon fill
of mashed potato, costs only six cents.
For twelve cents, or fifteen cents in the
dearest of these places, coffee and pie
are added. The proprietor of a very
popular establishment in a cellar in the
Bowery supplies generous pieces of beefsteak,
with bread and butter, for six
cents. They are cut from the round,and
are sometimes a little tough, but they
are not broiled until they have been well
pounded, and they are not served until
they have been buttered. There are
many jiersons, even among those who
can afford porterhouse and tenderloin,
who insist that there is a better flavor
and more nutriment in the round of beef
than in any other portion, so that the
Bowery beefsteaks have always been in
great demand.
The modern Ben Franklin is not
obliged to hunt out some modest home
wherein room can be made for another
member of the household. He could not.
in our days, get a room and bed for less
than *'2 or $-1 a week in such a dwelling
as the original Franklin found. But beds
can be had in New York for live cents a
nMflif The lirisk competition in the
lodging-house business has been of great
advantage to the young men who arc
struggling for a foothold in Xcw York.
Not only have the prices of beds been
brought down lower and lower, but the
competitors now vie with one another in
making their houses as attractive as possible.
Ten years ago it was safe to say
that a cheap lodging house was a iilthv
place without seeing more of it than its
street signboard. Now, the most dainty
lady need not be afraid to make a tour of
he principal ones.
Look into the biggest one in the How
cry. It is on a corner below Grand
street. The rooms are let for twenty-five
cents a night. You enter at the end of
the building on the side street and at the
head of the stairs come to a little window
at which the <piartcr dollars of the customers
are exchanged for the keys of the
rooms. The keys, which have numbered
hits of brass attached to them, sorve as
tickets of admission at the door further
along. The lodging house consists of two
lloors, each as big as the inside of an extra
large Broadway store. It presents to the
eye of the visitor a number of narrow passage
ways leading between partitions only
seven feet high, The ceilings are seven
or eight feet above these partitions.
Seven feet apart along these passage ways
are doors opening into the little box-like
rooms. The wall and doors are white and
clean. There is a faint smell of carbolic
acid in the air. Each tiny bedroom is
furnished with one chair, a cot, three
| clothes-hooks, a bowl, pitchcr, and a
) three-legged iron washstand. The pillow
| and sheet on each bed are white, the blue
counterpane looks neat, and the walls arc
white and clean. The lloor is bare. Here
and there are to be seen rooms wherein
cheap chromos are pinned upon the board
walls. Their presence shows that the
room is hired by the week, but if you
look for a trunk or satchel belonging to
the tenant you are apt to be disappointed
nine times in ten.
on tin- first floor of this and all other
! bur lodging houses a large space in front
of the rows of bedrooms is fitted up as
a lounging and reading-room. These are
the rooms passengers on the elevated
railroads notice all along the main avenues
down town, where are always to be
seen many young men with their feet up
and their chairs tilted back, smoking,
reading, or looking out upon the street.
Each room has a big table, and the newspapers,
pens, ink, and checkerboards on
these tables show how the lodgers may
spend that spare time which most of
them oossess in abundance
In some of the ten-cent houses the beds
arc not separated by partitions. They
are arranged in rows in big rooms, just as.
hospital cots are. Each lodger hangs his
clothing 011 the chair by his bedside. A
I watchman stands guard* overthc pockets
I and property of the sleepers. The biggest
five-cent lodging-house in New York
is in the old colored grammar school
building in Thompson street. It is an
exaggerated ship's steerage, or rather
three steerages, one above another, The
walls of the former class-rooms have been
removed, and each spacious tloor is now
an immense room tilled with donble bunks
built close together. The bunks are
heavy wooden frames, and look like one
kitchen table set on top of another. They
are two feet apart. There are eighty or
ninety of these frames on the first floor,
the only one the reporter visited. No
women are admitted to any ot these
places. The tloor had been scrubbed
| and the walls were clean. Each lodger
gets a bed to himself under cover In a
heated room. The place suggested a
catacomb, but the price was only live
cents.?JYetc York S'nt.
A "Peer of the Ileal 111."
When once a nobleman?by which is
here meant a person ennobled by the
crown?takes his seat in the upper house
of parliament he becomes a peer of the
realm, that is, a lord of parliament; and
although the well-known gradations of
dukes, marquises, earls, viscounts, and
barons exist, yet. so far as parliamentary
rights are concerned, all ennobled persons
who sit in the house of lords are the peers
or equals of each other. We purposely
make use of the word ' nobleman." because
the two archbishops and all the
bishops who sit there and vote, too, are
not peers; for although they are .spiritual
lords of parliament, are styled ''my
lord," and?with the exception of the
Bishop of Sodor and Man, who lias a
"place but no voice"?may vote, they
arc not "noble," and their dignity is
not hereditary. For this reason, a peer
merely for life, in the absence
of an act of parliament conferring
priviliges of peerage upon him, would
not be a "noble" person. Accordingly,
when Baron l'arke in was raised to
the peerage for life as Lord Wcnsleydale,
it was decided by the lords' committee of
privileges that his lordship could not sit
and vote as a peer, tfehlcn, in his "Titles
of Honor," seems to refer to iife peerages
as quite ordinary distinctions; but
whether they were so or not, it is clerr
that they wire practically unknown or
had fallen into di>use between this time
I l.TS-l-1 li.Yl) and that of Lord Wen-leydale.
However, now, by section six of
thirty-nine and forty, Vict., chapter liftyniin*,
(the appellate jurisdiction act,
ISTtii. the crown may appoint by li tters
patent two <pialilied persons to be lords

$puriou3 Diamonds.
To an enquiring Times-Stur reporter a uc
Cincinnati diamond dealer said:
' The white stone diamond is the best
imitation of a genuine diamond ever sold, pt
aud can not lie told from the real stones
except by an expert. Tliey are as pure
and brilliant in appearance as are the
genuine jewels which they imitate."
' How are the white stone diamonds bn
manufactured?" y?
"The stoncsthemselves come direct to br
this city from the vast laboratory of >1. st<
E. Kipl'cr, of RueRiehcr, Paris, the only to
one in the world where these stones are
made from pure crystals, submitted to a <-'0
chemical and voltaic process, by which
is imparted all the brilliancy, hardness th
and reflective qualities of real gems. The pi
pure white stone diamonds which come
from this laboratory are the only perfect gi
fac-simiic of the real diamand in the co
world. 1 lis method of manufacture is this: aj:
lie makes use of a glass vessel similar to uj
that known as the elcctric egg. To the sh
lower rod he attaches a cylinder of pure ?r
carbon an inch in length and half an inch br
in diameter. This detailed description
may of course be wearisome, but follow la<
me a trifle farther. To the upper rod he m
fixes a platinum block. lie then exhausts
the air from the balloon, and the dis- in
tancc from the platinum to the carbon lil
being only about two inches, he passed
an inductive current from a powerful th
voltaic battery. The disposition of the st(
apparatus is constantly maintained, for an
one month, at the completion of which dc
time, the appearance of the platinum je;
block undergoes a complete change, and of
octahedral crystals are discoverable, from
which he utilizes gems of the rarest bril- ha
liancy. The stones are shipped here in
<\f frnm thrt-n to t.dll OTOSS at a in
0
time." . ,t;
"Are there other methods?"' to
"Yes, there is an inferior quality? in
which are called white stone diamonds? hi
which are nothing.-morc than common
white glass, cast into shape and facets if
cut on them. They are principally used yo
for cheap plated goods, and snide work. <>v
A hundred or more of these stones are*
cut at a time, and arc made for $3 a fo
gross, or 144 stones. And now let me
give you an idea how a diamond lace pin
is made. In the first place a piece of
gold about eight inches long and about wj
a quarter of an inch square, is put into a se,
wire rolling mill and brought down to a w]
proper thickness. It is then exit into ^
pieces and drawn through plates into
knife-edge shape, and into square wire, wj
The knife-edged shaped gold is then
shaped into styles after a pattern, and m,
are soldered together. After the joint
and catch is put on, they go to the polishing
department, and from there to the
engravers. After the [>ins are engrav1?
they are again polished. The stones are jli;
then fastened in, and the pintong is put
in, and then they receive their final ,je
polish and arc sent to the office for
sale.
"Are the higher classes ever deceived
with this class of goods ?"
"Yes. You know that for centuries
the nobility of Europe were supposed to tj,
be the very best judges of diamonds. an
lint it has recently transpired that even
the proudest nobility of the continent ar(
have been deceived in this respect, and fj,
have been wearing imitation diamonds ^
without knowing it. Prince Esterhazy,
the Hungarian magnate of one of the no- olJ
blest families of Austria, has been lately
purchasing the white stone ophir diamond ,nj
for genuine at enormous prices. So per- m,
feet was the imitation that even the jew- -UI]
clers to whom these diamonds were sent i0,
did not discover the imitation. It is no ne
wonder that the nobility have been deceived
; it would have been wonderful had
they not been." vo

Flowers Makers of Paris.
It appears almost incredible that in nu
Paris no fewer than 30,000 women lind
their living by making artificial flowers, cii
The majority of them are asserted by a tli
too credulous admirer to be real artists, W1
imitating nature almost to perfection m(
with exquisite taste and well-developed
imagination. The rose in the workshop co
of the fleuriste is the masterpiece. Ifjthe an
art of making a rose is required, the f'l
maker is supposed to be able to imitate lnl
any other flower, the rose being considered
as particularly developing the iinagination
of young artists. As in other
branches of industry, there are specialists
in the flower factories, the buds, the
foliage and the mounting being done by
different people. At present a great fu|
number of flower makers arc out of work, sn]
owing partly to flowers being out of to,
fashion and partly to the enormous competition
in England, (iermany, Switzerland
and America, which increases with ,
every season. No country, however, can ''
compete with France in elegance, deli- mi
cacy and taste, although the flowers are n,J
generally made after French models. It "
is a curious fact, says a complacent (0
Frenchman, that women who m Franco |
were highly esteemed for their ta>te in ',c

infrequently happens, they go abroad to un

"Oh, a mixed gray and black; someing

easantly.
The first store that Jones went into the

iproachcd; he felt cold chills running

i his noble brow as he asked for emoidery"
silk.
"What color?" asked one of the sales- |
:lies, as she smiled sweetly at Jones'
iistachc.
"Just the color of your hair," lie said,
a soft, beseeching tone, that sounded
ce a cat lapping cream.
And then lie saw a change come over
e face of the girl, "en as a thunderjrm

iwn a box, slammed it on the counter,

Good heavens! The girl had fiery red

He made his peace with her finally,
d got out of the store alive. He said
was his own hair he meant, and he
ok oil his hat humbly, and she got the
ixed skeins, and gave them to him with
s change.
"It would have saved you some trouble

Scenes In the Flowery Kingdom.
The following is an interesting account
of an excursion from lloikow, the port
on the- northern shore of Haman, near
the town of Kiungchow,China. The party
of four ascended the Tingan or Kienkiang
river proceeding past Kiungchow, to
Hakshiang, a miserable village of a few
huts, but still a starting place for the upriver
traflic. The lloikow river boats
are described as follows: "Meeting one,
it would seem from a distance that a high
pole supporting a very liirgu iciiiuuguiiu
sail, fixed into a long narrow log of wood,
was approaching, for both the size of the
sail and the length of the boat, some
forty-five feet, are quite out of proportion
to the breadth, about seven feet.
Being flat-bottomed and the draught of
water only a few inches, it is admirably
adapted for traveling over the shallows
up-river. The mode of progression is by
sail, wind permitting; otherwise by
ynlohing, should the water be sufficiently
deep; by poling; by manual tracking
along the bank with the tow rope attached
to the masthead, or may be by two
or more of these methods combined."
With a fair wind the travelers sailed onward
against the swift-flowing current?
"each bend of the broad river seemed to
open up views more and more interesting
and beautiful, and scenery at times rivaling
in beauty even that of the ever-famous
Rhine itself. The water nearly as
blue as the clear azure sky overhead, the
river banks thickly clad with foliage of
all tints and hues sloping gently to the
water's edge; solitary farm houses, above
which towered the majestic paim, seen
embowered amid the trees; glimpses of
silvery waterfalls dashing down rocky
ravines; cattle basking in the sunshine;
bulTaloes disturbed in their muddy bath
that raised their ugly heads above the
water with an angrv snort of disapprobation
at our approach?all added a liveliness
and rustic charm to the picture,
and tended to enhance the pleasure of
the excursion. The town of Licnto
was reached shortly after noon. Two
photographs having been taken of the
party as a future reminiscence, the yelp- i
mg dogs were let loose, and a start was i
made for a little shooting. Unfortunately
the sport was not good, owing to the
thickness of-the covert, and only doves,
squirrels, and a single deer were seen.
On our way back we visited the potteries
for which Liento na.s a more man iocui
fame. Wo strolled down long rows of
storehouses in which were stowed a way
an immense collection of earthenware articles
of household use, in size varying
from the water kuug to the small -ruicer
used to hold the Chinaman's lampwick
and oil. Mounds some 100 feet in
height had been thrown up, and on
their sloping sides five tiers of kilns had
been constructed, under each of which
wood lurnaees were lighted, the smoke
issuing from the uppermost. The native
potter, the color of the clay he worked
in, seated himself on the ground with
one leg on each side of a wooden disk,
which he kept in motion by his feet, and 1
while we were present threw oil jars of
various shapes and sizes, all seemingly
being made with the same ease and ra- 1
pidity. It was with no little reluctance J
thai we had to leave so interesting a f
sight. Late in the evening we started I

Praising the National Capital.
The capital of the Republic is not unworthy
of the great and prosperous country
in which it occupies the first place.
Washington is an absolute creation of the
Federal Congress. Other cities have
grown, but Washington was made. The
site chosen for the seat of government
was well adapted for the purpose, though
some of the lower ground is said to be
conducive to malaria. Large ideas pervaded
the founders of the city. They
provided for a development commensurate
with the development of the nation.
Hence they placed the public departments
so far away from each other
that Washington was happily designated
the City of Magnificent Distances. The
distances are still magnificent; but the
intervening spaces have now almost all
been filled up with handsome residences,
The streets and avenues are all broad,
all planted with trees, and nearly all
asphalted. It is said that the average
width is double that of the streets
and avenues of Paris and Berlin,
Pennsylvania avenue seemed to me even
finer than the Champs Elysees. The
management of the thoroughfares is placed
in the hands of a parking commission,
which has done its work so well that upward
of 67,000 trees have been planted
under its direction. Trees of the same
v'irietv Mtv nlarwl in naeh street or a>i?
nue, regard being had to the surrounding
conditions. For instance, preference
is given in the lower locations to the
California poplar, which, in its power of
absorbing miasmatic exhalations, bears a
strong resemblance to the eucalyptus,
which cannot be successfully grown so
far north. The result of the Parking
commission's operations is that 130 miles
of shaded walks are provided for the
use aud enjoyment of the citizens of
Washington. Many of the public buildings
are splendid specimens of j.rchitecture.
The capitol, however, overshadows
them all. Situated on an elevation
in the center of the city, it commands a
clear and unobstructed view on every
side. Nothing can be finer than the
prospect from the capitol?the city, embosomed
in trees, lying below; the broad
waters of the Potomac beyond; and beyond
the Potomac again the Heights of
Arlington, where, around the ancestral
home of the late General Lee, 10,000
Federal and Confederate soldiers lie side
by side in one common graveyard. Erom
the Potomac, too, the city has a charming
appearance, crowned as it is by the dome
of the capitol, which shines in the sun
like a globe of polished silver. I have
seen many of the capitols of Europe. I
have seen London, Edinburgh and Dublin;
I have seen Paris, Berlin and Brussels;
I have seen Copenhagen, Christiana,
Dresden and the Hague. But I
have seen none that surpasses for elfect
the city of Magnificent Distances.?

THE LIFE LESSON
~- I
LEARNED BY A PROMINENT HUDSON
ODD FELLOW.
From (he Hudton (.tf. Y.) RtgUter.
Mr. John Elting, a faithful Odd Fellow (Put Grind)
("Lindelwald," No.+C) and * number of the Baptist
church says: I hare been, an moat of my acquaintances
in Hudson know, a sufferer from dyspepsia for ten
yeais. The symptoms of my malady were thoee which
a million other sufferers in the land would recognize as
their own. Beginning with indigestion, soar stomach
and flatulence, I beoame so weak that my body became
a burden too heavy to carry, and my mind was weighted
down by a gloomy despondency. Alter eating I felt ss
if 1 had a ball of glowing iron In my stomach; my abdomen
would bloat, and I was afflicted almost constantly
with a sick headach*. A lady leaning of my condition
advised me to use DR. DAVID KENNEDY'S
FAVORITE REMEDY, telling me what an infinite
deal of good it had done her and others whom she
knew. 1 began taking it in the latter part of August,
and used altogether only three bottles, when It achieved
in me the most wonderful improvement. I have now
gained flesh, and feel stronger, better and happier than
I have in ten years. FAVORITE REMEDY cured
my friend, B. f. Hermans, ef Ohent, of the lingering
remains of malarial fever and of billionsness. Mr,
Harvey Thomas, the grocei; on Warren street, just balow
tho Worth House, says that It has had wonderfully
good effects upon him. Scores of my acquaintances
ay that having once tried it they wonld never again be
without it. I have given it to my children and found it
the boat medicino I have e*er known for regulating
their bowels and purifying their blood. The knowledg t
of this medicine I desm the greatest lesson of physical
life."

I'ettrt Zdttort
Tho aboTo Is a good likeness of Mr*. tydls B. Pink*
cam, of Lynn, Mass., who above all other human bd<
may bo truthfully called the' Dear Friend ofWomajj
as some of her correspondents love to call her. fcSs
is sealously devoted to her work, which Is the outcome
of a life-study, and la obliged to keep ftz lady
assistants, to help her answer the large correspondence
which dally pours In upon her, each bearing Its special
burden of suffering, or Joy at release from it. Her
Vegetable Compound is a medicine for good and not
evil purposes. I have personally investigated it and
am satisfied of the truth of this.
On account of Its proven merits, it is recommended
and preecrlbcd by the best physicians in the country.
Ono says: "It works like a charm and saves much
pain. It will cure entirely tho worst form of falling
of the uterus, Leucorrbcea, Irregular and painful
Menstruation, all Ovarian Troubles, Inflammation and
Ulceration, Floodlngs, all Displacements and the consequent
spinal weakness, and is especially adapted- to
the Change of Life."
It permeates every portion of the system, and glret
new llfo and vigor. It removes falntness, flatulency,
destroys all craving for stimulants, and relieves weakness
of the stomach. It cures Bloating, Headaches,
Nervous Prostration, General Debility, Sleeplessness^
Depression and Indigestion. That feeling of bearing
down, causing pain, weight and backache, Is always
permanently cured by Its use. It will at all times, and
? ?it nrt in hurrncny with the law
that governs tho femalo system.
It cms only $L per bottlo or rix for ?., and Is told by
druggists. Any advice required oa to special cases, and
tho names of many who have been restored to perfect
health by the use of the Vegetable Compound, can be
obtained by addressing llr& V., with stomp for reply,
at her home In Lynn, Mass.
For Kidney Complaint of either sex this compound Is
unsurpassed as abundant testimonials show.
"Mrs. Pinkham's liver Pills," says one writer, "are , /
the beet in the world, tor the euro of Constipation,
Biliousness and Torpidity of the liver. Her Blood
Purifier works wooden In its special line and bids fair
to equal the Compound In Its popularity.
All must respect her as an Angel of Mercy whose aolt
ambition Is to do good to others.
