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.

| Two Meetings 11
! 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.?

DESIGN OF THE NEW CHAPEL TC
ACADEMY, A
Breath Drawings. 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

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.

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."

Foldable Milking Stool and Pail
Holder.
A very convenient device for the
'arm has recently been invented by
i resident of Iowa. It consists of a
milking stool which can be folded
when not in use, and a pail holder at
tached to the stool, which can be adJusted
to suit the convenience of the
user. The frame for the pail consists
of a spring clasp, which permits
the pail to be inclined toward the
cow, is desired, or moved to an upright
position to prevent spilling the
milk. The pail is held in the position
at which it is set by the frictiohal
contact of the clasp.?Scientific

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.
