CLOVER PERFUME. i C There's a thrilling, lugging feeling j On each henristring that I know, 1 s There's a perfume in my nostrils From the fields of long. ago. i 1 There's a vision in my meui'iy 1 2 Making all the "world grow dim, ' 1 Taking me away hack yonder "Where as fellows used to swim. And the vision's central picture r Is a laughing blue-eyed maid Standing in the rippling shadows Where we used to go to wade: i ~ 1 can see her pink toes gleaming In the rippling Stream where she, 1 With her skirts held safe from wetting, j Laughs across the years at me. ^ 1 can see trees we climbed in. I can see the streams we lished, -v I can see the log we sat on r In those old days, when we wished That we two were grown up people, _Gone out in the world and far; } ICow?the greatest grief i know of Is in knowing that we are. ' ^ 1 would rather be back yonder, J o Back 'neath childhood's skies of blue ; g Than to count my wealth in millions; . If I could go dancing thr.ugh That wee stream we loved to wade in, t Climo the trees we used to climb, I would never wish to grow up, I'd be happy all the, time. Comes the thrill along my heartstrings, ' c When the clover is in bloom, j r Then my nostrils catch the far-blowa Tantaiizing sweet perfume ... 1 From the fields I. used to romp in, c And I hear a liit of glee, c And a maid, barefooted, blue-eyed, Laughs across the years at me. ?J.

I A railway station?filled with a i crowd of folk, some laughing, some j crying, some pretending?some not. j f Victoria?at 11 o'clock, and the 1 j boat train for Dover. j ^ "Good-by, Jim, take care of your- ! i self!" The tall girl gathered her j worn cloak closer round her?the , i lady who held the door handle of the j t next compartment, a first-class, was , ( robed in sables. "I wish I were com- ' i ing too!" j g "So do I, old lady." A handsome i s man bent forward on the seat of the 11 third-class carriage, and his hand j closed over her slim ungloved fingers ! <; i.- .with a tender pressure. j i His blue eyes looked most suspi- ; i ciously moist?but what of that? It ' c is not every one who can afford to be ; callous. ! j "It seems such a long time?three t years, Jim!" the girl said again, and i there was a break in her voice. "And t it's such a chance, a mere " j t "A mere chance?yes," the man j echoed; "but we must just trust to j j chance, Monica; it's the only thing 1 j to be done, dear. Keep up a good heart, because I shall be coming back 3 in three years' time. Think of that, ^ little one. Three years, perhaps to- ( day, this very day, you may be stand- j ] ing at this very station, waiting for my train to come in; and I shall dash ] out?I shall be hungering for the sight and feel of you, darling, and j . you will throw your arms around my I '' c neck " j j "Jim!" the tears so bravely with- \ held up till now overflowed at last, t and fell on to the neat but worn cloak. j t The lady in the furs turned at the sound of the pain-filled tones, and her own voice grew a little husky as the trains steamed off. "Good-bye, Monica, my darling!" t A moment later Monica Ward was t standing on an empty platform, with ( an empty, aching heart. 1 .'A hand touched her shoulder. j "Can I take you anywhere?" a ' pleasant, sympathetic voice said. It ] was the lady in furs. "I always think 1 the first few moments are the worst 1 ri *} j ] ? It UA V4 t "Afterward," repeated Monica in j' dull tones. : "Oh! afterward one gets accus- j; tomed to it," returned the other j i lightly, "and one wonders why one j' felt so much. Come, will you let me J lust drop you anywhere?" r It seemed all one to Monica Ward j i what she did, and where she went. |. She nodded, and tried to smile. "Thank you," she said, "it is very j good of you to trouble yourself about '; a stranger " i "After all?we are sisters," the . other said a little dryly. "Come!" j And for the next half hour Monica j bowled along in the lady's carriage, j behind a pair of prancing chesrnut j horses. She did not remember till she i stood once more in the little room, \ which looked so deserted now that! Jim had gone, that she had never j found out the name of her friend in j need. And the days slipped into weeks j and the weeks into months, and all j the while Jim Ward, in a distant country, was trying to court the for- ! tune which had failed to" smile cn : him in England. * * 4 * * * , I "It's due now, miss, quite due, and , I don't think it's more than a few j minntoc Infp " Monica Ward, tall and slim, with the pretty color coming and going in ; her soft cheeks, stood once more on . the platform awaiting the train. j Suddenly there was a noise?a puffing, panting sound, and the train was in. Monica's heart beat fast, and she was so excited that she could hardly see anything in front of her. Jim was coming home?home . Was this Jim??this man coming j toward her with Jim's face, and yet ! not his face?with a rolling gait and unsteady eyes? She shuddered; her color forsook ker cheeks, her eyes looked fright-| * rned?her feet shook so that she ould hardly stand. After all. as the other woman had aid, one gets accustomed to it. Beter?far better?if he had stayed iway altogether than return to her ike this! Involuntarily she took a step backvard; the advancing man noticed it ;nd her. "My pretty dear!" he cried thickly ?and Monica was just recoiling in mrror when a man laid his arm oil "Monica!" a well-known voice ;aid.. She turned?Jim, the real Jim, '. as standing behind her smiling and lolding out his hands. "Monica."' he cried, "surely you laven't forgotten me?" And then, somehow or another, she ound herself in his arms?sobbing md laughing in one breath out of heer joy and relief. "That other man!" she cried a litle incoherently, "he was so like you ?that I thought it was vou, Jim?" "Monica!" returned her husband eproachfully, "and that fellow was irunk! Never mind, darling," slip>ing her hand through his arm, 'come home?somebody has come to laim him?somebody?some poor [evil of a somebody." Monica looked half fearfully across he platform. Not far away stood he man whom she had mistaken for im, standing surrounded by porters, ind a small crowd of gapers?a footnan was urging, imploring. By his ide, bravely facing them all, stood :ome one whom she recollected as in i flrp.im. "Afterward, one gets accustomed o it." The words cleared Monica's brain, hey echoed in her ears?the bright, )anting engine throbbed to the same efrain. * Ah! she remembered. It was her riend of that black day three years tgo, whom she had not seen since. rVhat chance?what irony of fate lad brought them together again. "Jim," she said, suddenly. "That nan over there?he won't move? hey can't do anything with him. 2an't you, won't you, go over and see f you can get him away from those japing crowds? That's his wife? he was kind to me?the day you eft. Ah! Jim, if it had been you!" Jim Ward needed no second bidling. With a few steady strides he eached the little group. The lady n furs was pleading,scolding, threatening, but all to no purpose. What she could not accomplish, rim's strong voice and steady, auhoritative manner did. In a few ninutes he had escorted the traveler o the waiting carriage and left him here. Monica stood just outside the door, md he linked her arm in his once nore as they walked to che cab. "How could I have thought it wag rou, Jim?" she said in a softly happy roice. "I'm so glad?and yet?that lay, that miserable day-?I envied ler!" They were in the cab, and he took ler in his arms and kissed her. "Eut" you don't, now?" he asked passionately. . "No, I don't, now," she answered n tones of deep content; "I almost ;hink?it was worth letting you go? ;o have you back again, Jim!" And for the moment he thought sa ;oo.?Black and White. Grumbling Husbands. As the grumbling husband is pracically unknown in the United States he letters which appear daily in the olumns of your paper are most ineresting and illuminating to a e American woman. With us the mar svho marries takes a wife to be the partner of his joys and sorrows. Furthermore, the American wife is quite as fastidious about her food as is nei husband, and would as soon resent ''stewed bacon and burnt eggs," the result being that while she may not actually prepare it, she can at leasl direct her servants in the preparation of the meals. To the young and "Unhappy Wife,' whose letter appeared in Friday's issue and whose eyes "fill with tears,' I would say that tears and crinolines went out of style at about the sam< period in the United States, and thai an American woman would feel tha she was taking a mean advantage o her hnsband should she take refug< in tears. Don't feed your husbant on delicate entrees; give him roas beef, boiled potatoes and stewed fruit It is the menu most appreciated b: the average Englishman, and it sure ly requires no very high order o: in telligence to cook it. Be your hus band's equal, not his dependent, anc above ail things i.on't whine.? "American Woman," in Londoi Tblegraph. 4 Aztec Women.

J Some curious experiments may be made with the breath. On a pane of glass, or a mirror that has not i been polished just beforehand, trace i a figure, or a letter, or a name, with ] your finger; nothing will be visible. 1 But breathe on' the glass, and the tracing will at once appear. Now, on a freshly polished plate of metal or glass, place a coin. After a few moments remove the coin, and nothing will be seen on the surface, i but breathe on it where the coin was i lying, and an image of it will appear. If you polish the coin instead of the metal or glass, the same effect will be produced when you breathe on the ; . surface. i If you have a plate of glass that j : r I ^ I / Qif I Traceries on the Glass. ' has been against an engraving for several years, breathe on that side of it, and the lines of the engraving . will become visible. This may fail sometimes, but rarely. Does all this sound like magic? The explanation is a natural one. On j the surface of all solids a layer of j gas, vapor and fine dust gathers. When you polish the object, the layer is removed, or it is altered by the contact of other s^Hds. If the object is breathed upon, the breath condenses more easily on some parts than it does on others, according to : the condition or state of this layer, 5 and therefore any marks made on it ^ will become visible.?New York Mail. t Another "Devil" Legend. ' Why is the printer's errand boy tailed the "printer's devil?" A ' writer at the end of the seventeenth i century explained it thus: "These i boys in a printing house commonly t black and dawb themselves; whence t the workmen do jocosely call them \ ? devils; and sometimes spirits, and ' 3 sometimes flies." It is related, how1 ever, that Aldo Manuzio, the great t Venetian printer of the fifteenth cen- j tury, had a black slave boy, who was V popularly supposed to have come from below. Accordingly he pub lished a notice: "I, Aldo Manuzio, printer to the Doge, have this day i 1 made public exposure of the printer's devil. All who think he is not flesh 3 and blood may come and pinch him." - ^ Mr - , / a;-. f' 4 l0 NEW UNITED STATES ARM1 aval Cadets. ===== 1 1 M 'I _ . : : ?>; 's ; a* * &SL.L' ; . a. , . |: if ?*"*' ^-wavw.-W/.'.' ft wwni . .

AMBULANCE IN ACTION. . DESTEEstoE Sweeps Over Cuba and East Coast of Florida. WIDE AREA IS ISOLATED Wires Down in Ail Directions and Dearth of Details as to Extent of Damage Causes Great Suspense. Frequer.t messages were received at the wireless telegraph station in St. Augustine, Fla, Thursday, giving the progress of a severe hurricane which swept from Cuba to the lower east * coast of Florida. Early Thursday morning the storm was reported in the vicinity of Havana, doing great damage there, but details were lacking. Later the storm reached Key West, blowing down small houses and trees, beiag particularly severe along the water front As the day wore on the storm reached Jupiter, where it is stated the wind blew seventy miles an hour. At Miami fully one hundred houses were blown down, and there is a demoralized condition generally. The handsome Episcopal and Methodist churches were both blown down. The concrete jail was leaning with danger of turning over and the prisoners had to be removed. The car sheds are down and the top was blown off the Peninsular and Occidental steamer sheds. A two-story brick building, occupied as a saloon, completely collapsed. The storm was general on the east coast of Fiorida, but the wires went down early In the day. Official reports received in Jacksonville give the maximum wind velocity at Sand Key, south of Key West, as 72 miles an hour. Key Wlest reported that the wind reached fifty miles an hour before the wires went down, and this same velocity was maintained along the coasf of Dade and Brevard counties. Efforts made at New Orleans Thursday night to reach Key West by wireless brought no response whatever. A New York dispatch is as follows: At 2 o'clock Friday morning cable communication with Havana had not been restored, and the Western Union Cable company was unable to get inte communication with Miami, Fla., 01 Key West, the land .lines throughout southern Florida having been prostrated by the storm that prevailed in that territory during the early hours ol Thursday. It is impossible to get in formation that would give any basis for an estimate of the damage to Ha vana. PRIZE WINNERS ANNOUNCED. Bulloch County Lands First Honor a1 Georgia State Fair.
