TWILIGHT.
A clear, pale sky—serene and autumn cold.
Tkin floats the buoyant crescent silver keea
Through luminous far drawn spaces faint ly
green.
Save for one long, low, lingering streak of gold.
Bine mists the hushed and supl..e land enfold
And dim the winding little rtver'ssheen.
Where, darkly clustered, shadowy willows
lean.
And chill and heavy lie on plain and wold.
Now as the daylight's eager voices fade.
And life Is narrowed to a shrinking span,
A twilight breath of calm and peace ami shads
Now on the hot and restless heart of man.
From individual hopes and fears set free,
A ouiet touch from out the unknown is laid—
Ttie thought of compassing eternity!
—Cornbill Magaalne.
GOTHAM’S BIG VANS.
HOW THEY ARE USED FOR LONG
AND SHORT DISTANCE MOVING.
Breakage, Time and Trouble flared by
These Large Vehicles—Ths Dnstneea of
Moving Bay Reduced to a Science—Trav
el by Train and Steamboat.
The estimator for a storage amt van
company will walk Into a house or a
flat and eatlmate within a ruble foot of
bow much space the contents will take
op packed, and he doesn't make any
elaborate computations either He just
walk* in a leisurely way through a
bonae from roof to cellar or through «
flat from end to end, and when lie la
through he knows. Housea vary great-
ly. One three story house might have
in It three van loads. The house just
like it next door might have aix, but the
estimator rarely makes a mistake, tie
might get half a van toad out ot the
way in estimating a six load bouse, but
this would be quite unusual He would
be much more likely to bit the mark.
The contract price for moving means
for moving from any floor to any floor
If it is desired, the company will send
barrels, boxes and packing materials ami
man to pack crockery, brontes. books,
bric-a-brac, and ao on, at 79 cents a
barrel or ita equivalent in space. The
time for loading and for starting the
vans woold depend somewhat on where
the goods were going. If they were go
lug 40 miles Into the country, the vans
woold be loaded the afternoon before
and wonld start at 2 o'clock in the
morning. They wonld arrive at their
destination at about IU o ’clock the same
morning, the horses would bo put up
■nd the vans unloaded, the start on the
return would be made at about 2 o'clock
the next morning, and the arrival to the
city would be at abont 10.
Vane are specially constructed with
large bodies and low wheels for trans-
portstion by steamboat or, railroad
Whether bones are taken on such tripe
depends altogether on the distance the
vans are going. If to a nearby point,
tbe horses go along; if to a distant
point, it la cheaper to hire horses tbere.
If vans were going to Newport, for iu
stance, they woold he shipped on a
freight propeller, whose derrick would
pick them up like great boxes of goods
and land them on deck. On inch a trip
bones wonld not be taken, but hired in
Newport for the hauling there. Hones
wonld meet the vans at the dock npon
their retain here. Vanigo west at least
as far as Loaiavllle, south to Baltimore
*nd Washington. In transfen, say to
Long Branch and other nearby points,
. tbe borsee go with tbe vana.
Fifty mllek wonld ordinarily be about
the limit of the distance that vana cover
on their own wheels, but they sometimes
go greater distancee. Forty unlee woold
be not at all unusual, ami trips of 80
miles and leee are common. Tbe driver*
know tbe roads within 90 miles around
New York well. They know where the
paved roads are and those that are most
nearly level, and where the poorer or
more difflcqlt roads are, too. and so they
know what sort of an outfit to take.
Where theroada are good to destination
tbe vans would be drawn by fonr hones.
On bad or billy roads they wonld take
six borsee. It ts interesting to note, as
tbs result of the driven' observations,
that the roads aronnd New York are
better than they need to be, and that
they are steadily improving. Not in-
freq^flatly the van companies move peo
pie frfln one point to another outside of
the city. For example, a gentleman
who lived in a town flear Bridgeport,
Conn., who was abont to move to a
place near Tarrytown, In this state, con
tracted with a van company of this city
to move him. Throe vana went up from
the city on this expedition. Tbe work
took abont two weeks. Here the dis
tance to be covered was so great that it
was impossible to make it in a single
day, and the vans halted at night and
went on in the morning. They went to
and fro In this way nntil the work was
completed. Tbe bill for this job came
to nearly $1,800.
The van companies move goods be
tween points in tbe city as well as to
and from it, and besides moving house
hold goods they will estimate on and
contract to remove the contents of a
store or a building to another store or
building. A recent moving job in this
city came to abont $1,200. Goods mov
ing in vans on their own wheels are not
insured. In transit by rail or boat they
are insured at the reqneet of the owner.
The cost of moving by vans depends, of
, largely on distance, and it varies
: according to season and cir-
It to cheaper between aea-
aad the nature of tbe roe da to be
r might have something to do
With it. To Morristown, N. J., distance
abont 80 miles, the price in the buy
aeaaon would be $89 a van and expenses,
tbe expenses being ferriage and tolls.
To a point, aay, 12 miles from the city,
in the beay season, the rate world be $20
a van and expenses.

“THEM WAS HIS SENTIMENTS.*
And the Old Vo reconstructed Confederate
Took Pains to Make Them Known.
Very many of the early settle™ of
Montana were natives of Missonri, Ken
tucky, Arkansas and the border states
of the war. They came by the Missonri
river to Fort Benton or by coach from
Omaha and for many years were in the
majority at elections, when they held
tbe flag of Democracy to tbe masthead.
Tbe resnlt of this immigration was a
strong sentiment for the confederacy In
the early days, and in 1878, whsn Gen
eral Phil Sheridan and staff made an
official visit to the northwestern posts,
the sentiment had not disappeared.
Helena, Mon., was jnst emerging from
the garb of a mining camp, bnt a few
enterprising citliens with ex-Governor
Hsuser at tbe head determined to give
a fitting reception to the visitors. A
delegation met Sheridan and hia party
in a stagecoach several miles from tbe
town and escorted them to (be leading
hotel. On tbe following afternoon a
banquet was given in tbe First National
bank, located (ben in the present gam
bling district.
Tbe mens consisted mostly of canned
goods, jack rabbit meat and fresh game,
became tbe town wu remote from civ
ilisation. There was, bowsver, plenty
of ohampsgne, since that wine to usu
ally found in mining camps even when
nothing in the way of food ia left bnt
flour. Tbe gathering wu very demo
cratic. Everybody In town was invited
to see “Little Phil,” tbongh tbere was
much grumbling among tbe unrecon
structed Confederates over the display
made for a Union general. There were
lawyers and mining camp politicians
mingled with gamblers, miners and ex-
road agents, many of whom wore aix
abooten at their belts. Among them
wu one old time Confederate soldier,
who bad turned bis talents from the
chivalry of war to dealing “bank.’’ He
was restless and uncomfortable during
the feast, and when the touts began
this restlessness Increased. His face
darkened and bis cyea flamed with an
ger aa variona toasts were given to the
United Btstee, tbe president of tbe
United States and the army of the
United States.
Finally he conld stand it no longer.
He arose with a wineglass in one hand
and a six shooter in the other, and in a
voice hoarse with rage shouted:
“Here's to all mankind, so that no
d d fool will be overlooked.''
With that be daahed tbe wineglass on
the floor and emptied the aix shooter
Into the celling ao that tbe room was
filled with smoke. Tbe gnests reached
for their revolvan, bnt tbe gambler,
with a look of contempt, returned bis
“gnn’’ to hia pocket and walked out.
General Sheridan afterward uid that
it was one of tbe moat dramatic and
anggeative scenes in all hia experience.

Th. Mm Who Tired CarljrU.
There ia a story of Carlyle in hia old
age having takan the following fare
well in hia broadest Scotch of a young
friend who had had him in charge for
walks, and who while almost always
adapting himself to Carlyle’s mood had
on a single occasion ventured to dis
agree with him, “I wonld have yon to
know, yoong man, that yon have tbe
capacity of being the greatest bore in
Christendom." The boredom had con-
sisted solely In the rather negative sin
of not having bun convinced of the
troth of one of Carlyle'a dogmu, a sin
all the more heinooa because, Instead of
standing boldly np to Carlyle and de
claring bis doctrine ntterly perverse,
the companion had betrayed hto weak
ness by an apologetic tone.
Now, Carlyle liked disciples, and be
respected antagonists, bnt he conld not
endnre being merely thwarted without
being thoroughly roused. He felt In
that case that he bad made no impres
sion at all on hto Interlocator; that he
had neither won him nor excited him
to resistance. And nothing bored him
■o much u that. Of conns it ia only
exceptionally despotic minds that ars
bored In this way.—London Spectator.

The artificial violets are a wonderful
imitation of tbe real ones. It takaa
more than a passing glance to detect the
difference between them; bnt, u made
moiselle well know a tbere ie no counter

reel flower. So the clever creature buys
every day a 10 cent bunch of natnre’a

Aa latsraatleaal Wmsmb’s
The Hon. Ettore Socci, a member of
tbe Italian parliament, through tbe
pages of Tbe Hamanitarlaa asks it it
would not be possible to hold an interna
tional women's congress In Rome in
1886 In order to give prominence to the
women's movement, which to spreading
ito ramifications throughout tbe World.

THE FIRST IRISH POTATOES.
Mr Welter Bslelsh Pleated Them K*er
Cork, bet tbe People geared Thee*.
Sir Walter Raleigh was an nnpria-
clpled adveufurer and failed as an ad
ministrator and coloflizer, but be bad
a most commendable taete for planting
and gardening, and in tbeae branches
of effort bis influence remains potent
Three hundred yean have passed since
be lived in Ireland, in tbe county of
Cork, on the vast estate which bad been
beetowed upon birn, bnt tbe yellow wall
flowers which be brooght to Ireland
from tbe Asoresatlll flourish and bloom
in tbe very spot where be planted them.
Near by, at Yonghal, near Cork, on
tbe shores of the Blackwater eetnary,
stands the Affane cherry which he
planted. Some cedars which be brooght
to Cork are still growing at a place
called Tivoli. Fonr yew trees, whose
branches have grown and interlaced
into a sort of snmmer hduse, are point
ed out aa having sheltered Raleigh when
he Brat smoked tobacco in hia garden at
Yonghal.
Raleigh tried to make tobacco grow
in Great Britain, bnt tbe climate was
not found anitable to it. He succeeded,
however, by introducing the habit of
■moking it, in making it grow in plenty
in other places.
More important to tbe world than tbe
■pot where Raleigh sat and smoked bis
Indian weed ia another spot in bto gar
den at Myrtle Grove, in this lame
Yonghal. Thia spot to atill bounded by
the town wall of the thirteenth century.
It was here that Raleigh first planted a
enriona tober brongbt from America,
which throve vaatly better than bis to
bacco plants did.
This tuber Raleigh insisted was good
to eat, though common repoftfor a lung
time pronounced it poisonous. Some
roots from hia vines be gave to other
land ownen in Munster. They culti
vated them and spread them abroad
from year to year.
This plant was the Irish potato. Be
fore many generations it became tbe
staple food of tbe Irish people—almost
tbe only food of a great many of them.
It was tbe “Irish potato” which
came back to America and became the
groundwork, ao to apeak, of the Amer
ican farmer’s and workingman’s daily
breakfast and dinner. Sir Walter’s
carious experiment in acclimatization
became an economic atep of the very
flnt consequence, and the spot at Yon-
gbal which was Ita scene deserves mark
ing with a monument much more than
do tbe places where tbe blood of men
has been shed In battle.—Youth's Com
panion.
Raskin's Methodlealnsss.
Never haa a man been more method
ical in bia work than Professor Ruakin,
nor more precise in obedience to tbe
rnlee he has laid down for his guidance.
Hia working honn have always been
from 7 in the morning nntil noon, and
on no account whatever wonld be ex
ceed the limit. Within those five daily
hoars has all bto work been produced—
books, lectnrea and bnainesa, pnblic and
private correspondence. Work in tbe
afternoon haa alwaya been by himself
forbidden, nnlea it took the form of
reading. Hto earliar works, of conrae,
ware written at Herne or at Denmark
Hill or while on a tonr on the conti
nent. Hia later ones have been wrought
In great part at tbe flower decked table
of hia atndy, overlooking Coniaton lake.

Th* Chlaese Hunchback.
I am reminded of a pictnre I pur
chased some time ago. I bonght it be
cause I thonght it was the ngbest pic-
tare I had ever seen. I tried to find out
the history or meaning of tbe thing for
some time without any success nntil a
few days ago, while studying Taoism, I
found the ngly man was one of the
Taoist gods. In hto early days hto spirit
bad tbe power of leaving bto body and
roaming over the nniveree alone. When
off on one of these tripe, wblvse came
and ate hto body. So when bto spirit re
turned it fcand only a few bones. After
banting aronnd for awhile tbe apirit
found the body of a dead hnncbbaok
beggar who walked with an Iron cane
In hto lifetime. The apirit crawled In
thto body and haa lived in it ever since.
Tib Kwalei, for that to the god's name,
carries a gourd on bto back, which, if
the breath were blown ont of it In tbe
heavens, would bring back hto original
body. According to last accounts, the
breath baa not flown ont of tbe gourd.—

A remarkable sight to be seen from a
balloon it the bottom of lakes and ponds.
While over Lake Erie Carl E. Myen,
the balloonist, aays be saw clearly a
wreck lying under 75 feet of water. It
waa that of a schooner, sank 40 yean
ago. At a height of half a mile the en
tire bottom of a small lake or-pond can
be clearly seen, and Mr. Myers believes
that on a otokr day an aeronant of good
vision conld see from a height of a mile
•nbmarlne objects at a depth of 400 or

THE “CALIGRAPH.”
111 1 —
It is now
Thirteen years since the
“Caliqbaph” Typbwriter
iwas first put upon the mar
ket and in all that time has
responded faithfully to
what is required of a first-class writing machine.
The Caligraph is recognized everywhere as the
most simple and most durable typewriter. It is
easily learned, does beautiful work, and will last a
decade, if properly cared for. In speed contests it
has repeatedly taken first place and in telegraphic
work has nevei been excelled. For manifold work
it has no superior. With interchangable parts the
Caligraph is well nigh indestructible. The expe
rience of business men, ministers, telegraphers,
short hand schools and government departments all
go to prove that the Caligraph is without a peer.
