It comes to me tn lingering notes,

And sadder grows my heart—but calm,
O pain that aoothest pain!
It brings me back the d*nr old songs,

Oft heard among the moonlit groves
By sweet Euphrates' flow.
Once more 1 stani by one dear form

To hear faint echoes die afar
Aud press a trembling hand
Ah, how the murmuring river hushed,
Tlio moon was paled above
When from those tuneful lips there rushed
Sweet melodies of love!
O priceless past, O dreamlike joys,
O long remembered face.
What charm you give this stranger’s song
What sad and tender grace!
Let men in gold seek pleasures cold
In vanity or strife;
One grief to me js wortli a world,'

Let sadness not depart.

Office over J. li. TolleBon’s new store
I n office from 1st to 26th of each
month;
When George Parker made his first
appearance on the football field at
Clevedon college, about two weeks aft
er tho term began, he came unheralded
and unknown.
The football enthusiasts had been
busy for days discussing the merits ami
oualifications of tho various new men
who had come up for thoffrst time that
year and were trying for positions on
the team. Good football material was
scarce at Clevedon, aud the captain and
tho coach wero at their wits’ end to
construct a winning team with tho can
didates who had thus far appeared. The
very day that Parker made his initial
appearance they had held a short
council in the directors’ office at tho
gymnasium before going on tho field for
the afternoon practice, and tho outlook,
as they viewed it at the time, was
gloomy indeed.
Candidates for positions behind the
line were many, and some of them gave
promise of developing into good players,
but tho linemen, especially tho tackles,
left much to bo desired at the close of
their conversation.
Shaw, tho coach, expressed himself
very forcibly as to the qualifications of
at least one of tho players: “I tell you,
Arnold, wo must get some life into that
line or the beat back* In the world
won’t win fame* tar um. Now, there’■
Brice at left foekle. Be'* big and strong
enough to stop a freight train, but he
lays as thmwh hs were deed on his
et If wu only bad sums mou to go In
against him on tho sornb eleven and
wnko him up aad give him a bit of a
pcare, he might amount to something,
bnt as H is he's about as lively as on
Ico wagon. ’’
All this was too obvious to elicit
anything more than a very gloomy ac
quiescence from tho captain, and the two
men tramped out through the gym
nasium to the practice field, and here
they found Parker for the first time
among the crowd of youths passing and
kicking tho bull. He was of medium
height, rather light but firmly built,
resembling the other young men around
him in general appearance, except for a
rather unusual squareness of the jaw
and levelness of gaze.
He came to Clevedon from an obscure
little academy iu a distant state, where
bo had prepared for college. Tho cap
tain of the scrub eleven had noticed him
in chapel in the morning and afterwaid
bad hunted him out, and, having learn
ed by dint of hard questioning that he
bad played football and at least knew
tho rudiments of the game, had asked
him to come out to tho field in the aft
ernoon aud havo a try at the second
eleven.
The second or scrub eleven, be it
known, is composed of tho candidates
who are denied a place on the varsity
aud who yet for tho sake of the sport
ami in tho hope that one day promotion
mav find them out are willing to work
on without glory or reward unless they
find them iu the hard practice game
played daily with the varsity. From
the ranks of the scrubs come the substi
tutes for tho varsity, and a good player
in the former may well dure hope to be
chosen on the varsity the next year. It
is, as one may see, a sort of apprentice
ship or training school through which
one must pass before he reaches the
varsity
It had been the bane of the scrub cap
tain’s life hitherto that he had not been
aylo to find a man in his miscellaneous
lot who was able to play a hard enough
gamo against Price, the varsity lett
tackle, either to cause that gentleman
any particular inconvenience or to satis
fy tho demands of .Shaw. They had all
made the mistake of “Lucking” straight
into him, and being inferior iu weight
and muscle to Price, who was a giant
in size, if not in intellect, the result
may bo imagined.
Thus it happened that in sheer des
peration Parker was chosen on this his
first night out to go iu against Price,
and, if possible, frighten him into im
proving bis playing
As the two men looked each othti
over for a moment before the ball was
put iu play Price thonght to himself,
rather contemptuously, that ho would
have no trouble with this stripling, hut
after Parker had broken through two or
three times cm plays around his end
and downed the man with the ball he
began to realize that he had a very un-
asual sort of scrub to deal with, and
that it would require something very
different from bis ordinary style of
practice game to keep this fellow occu
pied. After he awoke to this fact Par
ker's lot became rather harder, aud he
was forced to content himself with an
occasional tackle hi hind tho interfer
ence when the runner was slow or tho,
ball was poorly passed.
Put the climax came just before the
dose of the 15 minutes’ practice. The
varsity had carried tho ball down
the field directly in front of and about
20 yard* from the scrubs’ goal. Parker
|iad become somewhat used to the var-
■ity play by this time, aud when he
sawJhe fqjl back grop tack aud_th9
naif Lacks move out from and back of
lb: ir n unlar i^tfili' i.- he knew that a
goal from tho field was to be tiiod.
litre was iiis I ,st chance to outwit the
now fully awAikcued Price.
Instead of moving out, as he might
have been expected to do, in order toget
u denier field and open the line, ho
moved in close and made a feint as
though intending to dive between tackle
and guard, which was just tho sort of
play it was the delight of Price’s heart
to stop. He was practically immovable,
aud woo to the unlucky mortal who at
tempted “go through” him. Nothing,
however, was further from Parker’s
mind than tho attempting of such a
feat. Instead, as tho ball was snapped,
be wheeled out quickly, caught Price’s
arm iu his own and, whirling upon
him as on a pivot, threw that worthy
flat oq his back and rushed at tho full
back just in time to block a well direct
ed try lor goal.
The men on tho side Hues cheered
lustily for tho plucky scrub tackle, and
the conch gladdened his heart with a
few words of commendation, while tho
discomfited Price had a bad live minutes
explaining to the captain how it all
Vappcued
After that Parker’s play was careful
ly watched by both Shaw and Arnold,
and Drico was warned that unless lie
looked sharp and worked hard he might
yet 1o«.q the position which he had be
gun to look upon as peculiarly his own
Under this stimulus he improved won
derfully, aud the hopes of the rooters
rose again as they saw the line grow
stronger and faster day by day.
The great game of tho season, for
which all the fit hers were hut a prepara
tion, was the one with Hanover college,
and was to be played this year at Clove-
don For three years the yellow aud
blue of Hanover had waved triumphant,
and their team was reported to bo iu
belter condition than 3Vor.
At last tho great day arrived and the
morning train brought with it the Han
over team aud a great crowd of students,
already boasting of the victory that was
sure to ho theirs Odds wero offered
freely, but tho Clevedon boys, mindful
ol the lessons of former defeats, wore
slow to bet, and much Hanover money
went begging.
Tho day was an ideal one for football,
crisp and cool, with that suspicion of
frost iu the air that puts every player
on b.o met t ie aud makes every nerve
ting! with pure human joy of living.
On such a day even a disordered liver
loses us ascendency ever the mind, and
the hiood races through tho veins iu
an exhilarating flood. In spite nf the
lateness of the season the clu>o clipped
turf was green and soft as velvet, and
tho fii Id, lined on cither side with
bleach rs filled with agayly dressed, rib
bon bedecked crowd, was an inspiring
eight Every one in tho little town,
without regard to age, sex or present
condition of servitude, had turned out
to witness what proved to bo a buttle
royal
Hanover, with thftir usual good for
tune, won tho toss ;md chu** the ii'*tA
g^al, with the wind at their bucks.
Uiirrown, Uie Clevodoy full Lack, swung
bis toe into the pigskin and so«t it
j whirling well down into the enemy’s
j country, with tho ends close after it,
and the battle was on. Hanover sent
| their backs around tho Clevedon cuds
; for a lew short gains, and then lost tho
ball on a fumble. Ciovedcu held it for
1 a few plays and lost it, and so tho bat
tle raged. Back and forth in the center
of the field they' fought. Occasionally a
long kick by the full back would drive
tho hall down tho tide), and one goal
| or tho other would bo temporarily en-
| dangued, but soon the ball would bo
j carried back to tho center, and tho
i struggle would bo begun agqin. The
! teams were so evenly matched that nei-
: tlier was able to gain more than a tem-
i porary advantage over the other, and
the first half closed without either hav-
; ing scored.
j For the first five minutes of tho soc-
1 ond half it was the same story over
' again, but after one of Hanover’s fierce
rn>hcs into the lino a figure was seen
j stret' lied on tho ground and a thrill of
• apprehension ran along the side lines,
| “Who is it?” “Is ho Hanover or Clcve-
, don:” “What subs have we:” were
1 some of the questions anxiously asked.
| To the dismay of the Clevedon con
tingent, it was discovered in a moment
j that it was Brice, tho big left tackle,
! whose lame ankle iiad finally succumb-
, ed to a soveru wrench. For him to con-
tiuui longer : n the game was out of the
que tion, but who was there to take his
place? The only man who had prac*
| tioed in that position was Barker, and
when tho “rooters” saw him strip off
his sweater and trot across the field obe
dient to tho captain’s summons their
j hearts sank within them. What chance
would such n green stripling as he have
ugaiiiat such a heavy, experienced play
er as tho Hanover tackle? But tho cap
tain remembered Barker's play against
i Brice and held his peace.
Tim first play demonstrated that,
whatever elsu«he might be. Barker was
no coward. Wiieuever there was a rush
through bis side of tho lino lie was gen
erally found nt tlie bottom of the heap
when the muss of men untangled itself.
But tho fierce, determined, bulldog
j game that Hanover was playing was
beginning to tell, and slowly tho ball
was being carried nearer the coveted
I Clevedon goal—50 yards. 45, 40, uu-
1 til the hall lay on tlie JiO yaid lino, and
hero tho advance stopped. Three times
! tho lianovr-r hacks drove headlong into
the Ghwedon line, only to be held and
i thrown back again
It was tho old guard at Waterloo
I over again One more play and tho bull
! must go to CTevedou. But the goal was
i straight ahead and only DO yards away,
1 and a well directed kick would put
j Hanover five points to tlie good. The
| full back dropped back aud every one
; fcimw what was coining. Every man
Was crouching low iu the linn with Lis
muscles D use aiid every sense alert
Watching tho ball and the man opposite
, him. Back went the ball to the full
• back, and after it tho CTevedou quarter
1 back, dodging quickly through u hole
i between center aud guard, hut just too
late The ball barely cleared his finger
tips as it sailed up into the air and
straight between the goal posts. A clean
kick, and the Hanover bleachers roared
and waved their approval.
Barker, iu the rash of the moment,
was conscious of nothing but a mad de
sire to tear his way through tho lino
and reach the full back, but struggle as
he would the man opposite him block
ed him hard and low, and his effort
wa#futile On tho Clevedon side of tlie
field there was a gloomy silence that
was almost tangible,. Only soycn mlu-
uics to play aud the score b to 0 against
them
Burrows jjH the ball in pley again
with a low, swift kick that sout it
straight at one of U10 bi(' Hanover
guards. Taken by ijurpriso,’ instead of
holding it, ho let tho ball bound back
from his bread chest straight toward
Barker, who was rushing down tlie
field. As the hall bounded toward him,
remetiihering tho injunction of tho
couch neve r tu try to kick up a ball un
less ho had a clear field before him, ho
throw himself full length at tho covet
ed oval and gathered it. iu his arms.
At tho same moment tho unlucky
guard, rushing from the other direction
to repair ins error, stumbled over the
prostrate form and, whether it was in-
teutiouul or accidental no one ever
knew, struck poor Parker full in the
faoa with tho too of his heavy shoe, cut
ting a deep gash above his left eye. To
tho Cleveduu supporters ou tho side
lines it m med as though an evil fate
was pursuing them. There was no one
to take Barker’s place, and how could
ho play wltli a deep cirt in his heat! aud
tho blood s,learning down his face? But
they failed to recognize tho spirit of tlie
boy, and when tho coach tried to lead
him from tho field he flatly refused to
bo taken tre iy. “Let mo stay tho gamo
out,” ho pi aded, and then as a shrewd
afterthought ho added, “Who’ll you
pot in my place anyway?” The force of
this argue nt struck tho coach, and,
pleased with tho boy’s grit, ho had no
alternative hut to yield, aud back into
his place went Barker, with his bloody
face and u handkerchief bound round
his head.
If ho had played hard before, he play
ed like a demon now, but the team was
going down hill fast. The men had lost
heart aud w ith ever increasing swiftness
tho Hanover wedgo ground its way
down the field until a final breathless
tally stopped tho advance on the 20
yard line. One minute to play and the
Hanover full back dropped back lor an
other try for goal. Hero was a last des
perate chance, and in spite of his ach
ing, whirling head Barker remembered
tho trick that had worked so well on
Brice and shoved in close to his oppo-
ueut. The fatter, mistaking the move
ment, clos ! up tho gap, when, quick
a* a Hash, as the ball was snapped,
Barker sp. eg out, whipped his husky
oj penent half around aud rushed at the
full back j.’'o £1 tiger, with the speedy
qu.uter b-•!; close at his heels. Tho
kick was >viit and so re, hut Parker
was quicker, aud as the ball rose lie
sprang bipo iu tlie air and caught it
full on hi utstrctched arms.
As the bell hounded back Sheldon,
tlie ijuarti back, snatched it up, aud
was off 1 1 the Hanover goal, 80 yards
away. Bemud him strained the Hanover
half hacks in hot pursuit, but it was uo
use. A stem chase is a long one, and
Sheldon did not hold tlie varsity record
for the 100 yards for nothing. He plant
ed the ball squarely between the goal
posts, and Burrows kicked ttu easy goal,

L In fact, there has been a
falling off in immigration.
The total : umber of immigrants during

upon an estimated population of 75,-

The fee system is more rigidly en-
fpreed ou a big passenger steamship
tbaju anywhere else. It is one of tho
plaoes xvixen- Mrvantsdemand their fee*
and tell yeu tho amount that tboy think
you ought to give them. While the
waltors at reatowants and hotels expect
leas for tbftr services and will hint and
may perhaps make it embarrassing for
you if'thpy are not paid they Lave
not gone 60 far as to tell yon that they
want a fee and prescribe the amount.
Even porters do ndt do that. They come
around, brush your coat, and hat and
run the whisk over your trousers, hut
it is seldom that they ask you for any
money, let alone a specified amount.
On the passenger steamers tno stew
ards regard their fees as a matter of
right as much as Ihj steamship com
pany regards your passage money. It is
possible to avoid paying the fees, as
they are not collectable by law, bnt the
passenger who does not pay them will
have trouble iu getting his luggage off
the steamer, and it would be well for
him to keep off steamers afterward
where imy of the Servants of that boat
are employed.
Tlie stewards seem to havo some sort
of fee guidebook or black listwf passen
gers who do not give foes, so that they
can make them suffer on future trips.
Certain fees are regularly fixed and ex
pected, irrespective of the cost of the
stateroom or tlie stylo in which a man
travels, while certain other fees depend
on the style. For an nrdiuaiy passenger
there are fees to ho given to tho state
room steward, the saloon steward, tlie
deck steward, the smoking room steward
and the barber aud bath man.
The fee to tho steward who looks
after your stateroom is about 10 shil
lings. The steward who waits ou you
at tho table should receive the same fee.
The deck steward, for bringing you an
occasional driuk aud looking after your
steamer chair and rugs, expects 5 shil
lings, but be will take half a crown.
The smoking room steward expects 5
‘.hillings, and if you are iu the smoking
room a groat part of tho trip he feels
that he is entitled to as much us tho
statement steward or your waiter. A
bath every day on the passage can bo
bad for a 5 shilling fee.
These rates are fixed by long custom.
The stewards can tell whether or not a
man understands the rates aud if ho will
pay at tiro end of tho trip. If they do
not think that he will, they give him
hints from time to time until they get
some assurance on his part that he
rcooguizes the obligation of the fee sys-
tntq. If they think he will not pay, he
wUl have a hard time of it. He will
fed tUa» id* sfciteftxan Is not well nxida
up* that he does not gst-oane whs* he
Ls setMlok; that ho Is sarved kpt at U*
table and doe* unt get tli« thing* that
ho ordered; that fbe wrung drinks and
cigars come to him in tho smoking
room, and that his steamer chair is con
stantly lost. The servants are as effec
tive as seasickness in making u man’s
trip miserable.
These fees are not tw be paid until
tho last day r.f the trip. Tho servants
very speedily find out. at which place a
jiasisouger is to get off. If making his
first trip, they are pretty sure to know
it. It is advisable for him in that ease
to tell his stateroom steward and his
waiter that he will give them tho regu
lar fee at tho cud of tho trip if thej
serve him properly and that if they do
not they will not get a penny. If ho
tells them this in the proper way, he
will get as good service as the man who
is well known.
The lust morning of the trip the state
room steward comes round for his fi 1.
If tho passonger does not offer it, tho
steward suggests that it is customary
to gjve him a fee, andT.ut the regulai
fee is half a sovereign. L anything less
is offered him aud ho things ho c.su get
a half sovereign by refusing to accept
less, he will at once hand the proffered
sum hack and say in an insolent way
(bat he never takes less than tho regu
lar fee.
With many passengers, particularly
women, this remark and tho tone ex
tract the 10 shillings. The saloon stew
ard does tho same thing. The steward*

succeeds in avoiding tho stateroom stew
ard tho saloon steward will ask him for

As n man cannot get off the ship until

these demands, which will be repeated
during the lust day of the trip until the

THE CLOTHES OF AUTHORS.

Dixie T 1, mipson is the “bean king”
of Culii. . .ia, and down in Ventura
county Ire baa a ranch of 7,000 acre*
devoted exclusively to the cultivation
of beans There were 15,000 acres
planted tlrero lust year, which produced
1,000 carloads of beans. Three hundred
carloads wire shipped from Santa Bar
bara county, the product of abont 5,000
acre*. Tlrey tell me that 138 distinct
varieties of Leans ere grown in Ven
tura county. They are sown and culti
vated iu the same manner as corn and
are ham -ted by special machinery,
which cuts tho vines close to the roots.
The vines are then raked into wind
rows, piled into stacks and are thrashed
hy steam power mahiuea, which are
also specially contrived for tho bean
business.- Chicago Record.
'1 Ii* Poet*’ Fate.
It is be; inning to be discovered by
the world that Sidney Lanier, Henry
Timrod ; I Paul Havne were - rent
poets. A** the Irishman would say. a
great poet uas a hard time of it while
he is alive, bnt after he dies everybody
rushes up to shake his hand and con
gratulate him.—Norfolk Landmark.
Some Strictures 1’pon the Dress of Kug-
lish Literary Men.
Novelists and playwrights in sample
quantities are tho latest class to come
under tho basilisk eye and measuring
tape of The Tailor aud Cutter. These
members of the sister profession of jour
nalism, and perhaps even the severely
judged members of parliament who
have appeared iu a liko connection, may
be relieved to know that tho novelist*
and playwrights scarcely excel them as
glasses of fa-nhion aud molds of form.
By w ay uo doubt of sho.rpeniug bis pen,
tho tailor critic begins with 1. Zung-
will, whoso hmugo suit “might have
belonged to any period during the last
ten years, ” and had even reached the
stage of tho “shabby genteel.’’ How
ever, it is consoling to know that Mr.
Zangwill's literary success enables him
to wear a frock coat that nearly passes
muster, even though the accompanying
trousors are too short.
Mr. Jerome, J. M. Barrio, Henry Ar
thur Jones aud Hall Caino might al
most bo called moderately well dressed
iu a nonstylish sort of way. At all events
they avoid tho shuddering solecism of
wearing a light coat aud waistcoat with
dark trousers, attributed to Robert
Buchanan, or the mixed styles of W. S.
Gilbert. But tho only two members of
tho class who unreservedly enjoy tlie
approval of our contemporary aro Hir
Walter Besant and Clement acott. Tho
former will uo doubt be rejoiced to
learn tiiat ids clothes might canso him
to be mistaken lor “a prosperous city
merchant,” while Mr. feu>tt might
“easily be mistaken for u pro j erous
tradesman,” says a tailor. The force of
flattery oofild surely uo farther go.—
London Chronicle.
A 81kii Di*|ilayi*i1 In Whirli Guard
Carrfullj- Tin Ir Reputations.
“No Boxes Sold Haro” is tho sign
that hangs in one of tho principal
jowelry establishments iu the city. The
sign mudo its appearance after tho shop
ping of one Chi istmas season. But there
is no time of tho year in which the do-
maud for boxes is quite discontinued,
ami the sign serves its purpose always.
Tho demand for boxes was prompted
by the amiable desire to deceive some
friend or relative' into the belief that
the article presented to him came from
tho best establishment in the city. Sim
ilar attempts are made at tho well
know 11 glass and china shops, at one of
tho well known French confectioners
and at all of the establishments which
have mudo a reputation in some par
ticular field.
Nearly all of these answer such ap
plications with tho words of tho sign,
“No Boxes Sold Here,” but there aro
some few which sell them as regularly
as they do other objects of merchandise
and aro quite indifferent to what be
comes of them so long as they get their
rather high prices for tho empty boxes
bearing the name of the firm. Similar
indifference is shown by a well known
English picklo factory, which allows
its labels to bo sold hero and pasted
over any sort of stuff that tho pur
chaser of them happens to concoct.—
New York Sun.
The No*e I.nst.s Lougi-Ht.
Bono and cartilage enter eo largely
into tho structure of the noso and de
termine its characteristics that it un
dergoes little perceptible change, as a
rule, with tho lapse of years. Tho brow
become* wrinkled, aad crows’ feet
gather round the eyes, which them
selves gradually grow dim as time rolls
on. Cheeks lose the bloom which cos
metics cauuot replace and lips their
fullness aud color.
The chin, dimpled in youth, develops
angularities or globularities, ns the
case may be, aud the eyebrows become
heavy with the crop of many years’
growth. The nose shows no mark com
parable to these familiar facial indica
tions of tho approach of old ago and
practically enjoys immunity from the
ravages which time makes on the other
features of tho face. Next to the nose,
probably tho ears, as a rule, show tho
fewest and least obvious signs of old
ago.
