A Chinese Baby Show.
A Chinese baby show was one of tho
attractions at the mining fair at. San.
Francisco. Two hundred babies of
Oriental parentage were displayed, and
the sight was unique on this occasion.
The little boys had their heads shaven,
and the girls had their hair stiffened
and decked with fringes of beads and
paper flowers. The complete gravity
and silence of this array of Celestial
infants added to the queerness of the
show.

l
.a. young girl, quite shabbily dressed.
I got to church. There was such a
crowd that I slipped into aqdull cor-
ner facing a wall; ,
Immediately in front of me I noticed
She seemed conscious of her poor ap-
pearance, and evidently shrank from
notice.
Presently a gentleman came in, very
well dressed and with an air of wealth
somehow, but instead of the self-con-
fidence of, his class lhe also was shy
and shrinking; Poor man, he was de-
formed. He couldn’t help knowing
there was a woman of some kind nexl
to him, but he seemed to pull himself
together to avoid iher. .
We got to the first hymn. She
couldn’t find it—wrong book. Civility
compelled him to offer his, and very
shyly, coloring crimson, the thumb of
her shabby glove grasped the extreme
corn‘er.
At the next hymn and the next they
were getting quite friendly in an un-
spoken way. .
I felt very interested. I am a born
match-maker, and always like to give
heaven a little assistance, but I didn’t
quite see what I could do in this prom-
ising case. '
However, chance favored me. Com-
ing out of church there was a heavy
shower. I was delighted to find my
son George waiting for me with an
umbrella, dear boy, so thoughtful.
“I knew you wouldn’t have one,”
he said so triumphantly that I wished
to goodness I had.
“Hullo, Meredith, haven’t you got
an umbrella either? Serves you right”,
“Hush,” I said, squeezing hilm arm.
To my great surprise George was
speaking to-the man I had noticed in
church. . . ’
“Perhaps you will come home with
us,” I said, smiling sweetly, “and wait
till the shower is over.’.’ , -
I managed it all so beautifully; he
came in to supper, and we gotpon so
well that in a gory short‘time he was
quite a frequent visitor. He seemed
atease in a house where there were
no tall girls to look calmly at him with
perfectly composed manner. George's
boyish tastes were a' rest for his
studious soul, and I am sure he liked
me almost as' much as I liked him.
At a large “at home” one afternoon
one of the musicians was a Miss Syd-
ney‘Jones, and while I Wasdreamily
wondering where I had seen her be-
fore her badly-made frock caught my
eye, and I beamed. It was the shabby
young lady I had seen in church.
Five minute later she was sitting
by me. I praised her playing, talked
to her like a mother, and easily got out
of her that she was a music teacher,
and evidently not much at that.
I arranged for her to come to tea
and bring her music, and took care
that Mr. Meredith dropped in at the
same time. I saw he looked pgculiarly
at the girl. I am sure he recognized
her. Perhaps he had often thought
of her in the silent watches of the
night. Perhaps George is right that I
incline to be sentimental. Miss Jones"
seemed unable to conceal her extreme
shyness, and my son kindly tried to
put her at her ease.
Mr. Meredith looked on with sud
eyes. I knew what he was thinking
of, but he depreciated himself; "if the
girl had any sense she would take
him at his true worth.
The tuning of the fiddle-strings sent
George flying; but Mr. Meredith
watched every movement with such
admiration that the girl’s head was
turned, and she put on little airs of
coquetry that quite finished the man
no woman had ever designed to flirt
with before.
I slept that night with the blissful
consciousness of having done a good
action, helped in a difficult job.
Before I went to sleep I thought I
would give the girl a wedding-dress
and decided where it would be nice
for them to live.
About twice a week the little com-
edy went on. At first Mr. Meredith
made some excuse for coming; after-
wards, wi-thou-t words, he and I un-
derstood each other.
Miss Jones lost her shyness, or it
took a new form. The little hesitation
and glance which accompanied her
speech George once described as
“fetching.” I was so glad for Mr.
Meredith’s sake.
ll: * 1: >1: :0: t as o
I was idling over the tea-table one
afternoon, rather wishing my “young
couple” would turn up, when I heard
Mr. Meredith’s knock at the front
door, I started to my feet when he
came in, and my' hear-t seemed to
choke me, for no reason whatever. I
don’t know how it was, but I-knew.
He had the look of a saint on his
face—forgiveness, humility. sympathy;
what did his mis-shapen shoulders
matter with such a soul as that?
"I was to break it to you,” he said;
“but I see you know. They Were mar-
ried this morning at St. Luke’s. They
didn’t tell you, for fear you should be
angry, they said. .
Oh, my son, my son!
The "Tramp and Rat" Fable. _
Once upon a time a Tramp
was Sorely in need of Something to
Eat, and approaching a Farmhouse,
'he spake, unto the Farmer, Saying; “if
you will give me the Whercwithal to
satist‘ythe Cravings of the Inner Man.
I will kill all the Rants about the place.”
“Agreed," said the Tiller of the Soil,
and he ordered his Good Wife to give
the Trampa Square Meal. After the
Tramp had='- Dev’o‘ured areverythlngz.‘ ‘En

1 than domestic purposes.”
In an interesting article on “Orna-
mental Glass in' All- Ages," in the.
Woman’s Home Companion, Orlena L. I
Sllacklefcrli .has this to say of the an .
tiqu’ltyof glass. The Egyptians used
glass ornaments largely for personal
decoration.- Necklaces, bracelets,
beads, scarabaei, etc., of exquisite
beauty have been discovered in their I
tombs. It also served'to bedeck clot-ll-
ing, and innumerable domestic ob-
jects were made of it for daily use.
Indeed, the accommodating medium
was adapted by them to an infinity
of purposes, being blown, cast, rolled.
wrought or cut, as the worker willed,
whether into statues of their gods or
as glass eyes for the sightless sockets l
of their mummies, to express the
wish of the soul to arrive safe and
whole at the end of its journey. The
Romans excelled the Egyptians as
extensive users of glass. It served
them for decoration to walls and
floors,.for all sorts of domestic vessels,
cinerary urns and coffins (the Egyp-
tians buried Alexander the Great in a"
glass coffin), for ornaments, toys, dice,
draughts, chessmen and water clocks.
We read of a table of solid emerald
that was carried off by the Goths
when they sucked the Eternal City,
but it is now considered not to have
been of precious stone—only fine green
glass or jasper—yet deemed sufficiently
valuable to be 'set with pearls and
mounted in gold.
“These great builders—the ‘most
practical of antiquity—were not slow
to realize the value of this transparent
medium as a means for transmitting
light into their palaces and temples;
but their window-panes were only
from 7 ate 10 inches square, and the
glass was more green than white,
lacking the crystal clearness of our
modern productions. Glass mirrors
were known to the Egyptians and Ro-
mans. Specimens have been found in'
the tombs of the former, and docu-
mentary evidence from Pliny, Seneca
Lucretius and others undoubtedly
proves their possession by the latter.
Glass was used for lamps in Pompeii.
but we have no evidence of its being
applied'lto such a. purpose in Egypt,
where it was appropriated more large-
ly to ornamental and decorative rather
WHY HIS WIFE'CAME. BACK.

An Omaha man, whoSe. business it

she goes away she insists on receiving
a daily letter from her husband. If
he fails she comes home in short order,
and for a time the atmosphere of the
home is frigid.
A short time ago the wife went on
a visit to her parents, and before leav-
ing gave her husband explicit instruc-
tions to write every day. He prom-
ised to do so, and meant to keep the
promise. He forgot the first day
until too late, so he wired that he
would write the following day. That
night he secured the services of a
stenographer and dictated a letter.
“Now I want you to use that letter
as a model,” he said to the stenogra-
pher, “and write twelve others, all
differently worded, but containing
about the some thing. Date each one
a day ahead of the other, put each
in an envelope properly addressed, and
attend to mailing for me. Here's
$5 for your trouble.” ‘
The stenographer who was young
and inexperienced, agreed.
Three days later the husband re-
ceived a telegram reading: “Will be
home on first train. Meet me.” The
wife’s name appeared at the bottom.
The husband was distressed, fear-
ing that something had happened.
Time passed slowly, but at last the
train arrived. When his wife stepped
from the train he grasped her and
asked:
“What’s the matter, my dear?”
The wife said not a word but walked
into the depot. Then she opened her
little grip and quietly handed her hus-
band a bunch of letters. _ '
The stenographer had followed her
instructions, but she had mailed all
the letters on the same day—Omaha
“form-Herald.
\Vhen Reynolds Reigned Supreme.
An interesting anecdote is told of'
Sir Joshua Reynolds. The famous
portrait painter used great quantities
of snuff, and he would take it so freely
when he was pain-ting that it frequent-
ly inconvenienced those sitters who
were not addicted to it. During the
time he was engaged, in painting the
large picture of the Marlborough
family, at Blcu‘heim, the Duchess or-
dered a servhut to bring a broom and
to sweepup Sir Joshua’s snulf from
the carpet; but the painter, who al-
ways withstood the fantastic head
tossings 'of spine of his sitters, by
never suffering any interruption to
take place during his application to
his art, ordered the man, when he _
entered the room to obey the Duchess’s
commands, to let the snufi remain till
he had finished his picture, (observing
that the dust raised by the broom
would do much more injury to his
picture than the snuff could possibly
do the carpet. The servant was, for
the moment, quite bewildered, but
regaining his wits, be appealed to his l
mistress, and, on receiving no sign -,
from her. he retired silently from the
room, leaving his-task unaccomplished. I

We were sisters, and I was ten years,
Norah’s senior. She was naive, petite.
Winsome, and .tenderchearted; I was
a woman of strong impulses, with pas-'
’ sions that smouldered and literary am-
bitions that rusted for the want of an,
incentive to call them into use. My
) character was more impressive than
my beautyfbut Norah had one of the
sweetest faces‘that over the'sunshone
on.
Having lost our parents early in life,
we lived alone.=Norah clung to me
.for guidance, I cherished her with the
.solicitude of an elder sister, and mut-
ual devotion lent happiness to Our
somewhat uneventful lives.
But soon the monotony of our days
was strangely disturbed.

He was introduced to us by the
vicar’s wife, and my first impression
of Abel Ventome was an impression
of the ugliest man I had ever cast my
eyes on. He was gaunt and ungainly,
his pale face was seamed with lines
of thought, and his attenuated features
gave him an uncanny appearance, in
spite of his high forehead, and the
lustre of his searching grey eyes.
After a time, when I knew and under—
stood him, he s-trangely attracted me.
He and his mother had taken a cot-
tage in the village of D——-, where we
lived, for the purpose of editing for a
well-known publisher a series of books
called “The Commonplace Thinkers of
the Nineteenth Century.” ~ ,
We soon exchanged vlsffsiii‘ And by
some chance or other I‘dfie‘n found
myself in the society-'l-‘iof lWentome,
whose conversation opedéfi out a new
world of thought and suggestion to
me. ..
At last it seemed to me ”iffy’chan-ce
had come. I had now met the strong
intelligence toawaken the ambitions
which had groWn sluggish in thesur-
a sleepy village. '

“I have such happy news for you,”
said Norah one afternoon to me, in am;
mated tones. -“I’m engaged to'bemar.

At once I instinctively gueSSed the
truth, Norawhad robbed me of his
I looked-at her- with a stony
speak. It seemed as if I was para-
lysed. .
“Gracie, darling, don’t look like that;
Why don’t you congratulate me? )D_id
you not want me to be engaged?” and
she twined her arms around me and
sobbed. '
I callously freed myself, from her
embrace. “You had no right to en-
gage yourself without consulting me
first,” was my frozen reply.
“It was all so sudden,” she faltered;
“he told me 'be loved me—nnd—”
I harshly interrupted her: “Never
mind particulars, I will see' him my-
self,” and I left her.
I went to my own room, maddened
with jealousy and utterly miserable.
Later in the day he gave me his con-
iidences.
“Everything has turned out so well,”
he concluded. “She will make me so
happy, and your intellectual sympathy
will complete my happiness.”
With the hypocrisy which many wo-
men can assume I smilingly congratu-
lated him, and actually kissed Norah
and wished her happiness.
The thought, however, of another
woman ministering to his happiness
'was gall and wormwood to me. The
idea of the sister on whom I had ex-
pended a life’s devotion winning his
love was terrible. Their bliss should
no longer mock me. Their love should
no longer gloat over me. 'I resolved to
kill them.

I had a loaded toy revolver in my

I was about to follow them to carry
out my terrible purpose, when my
glance fell on an unfinished letter on
the table, and curiosity urged me to
read it.

rights which unjustly were withheld
from them by the Spaniards: The ne-
gro of Cuba, in particular, is a sad]:- .
d-emoralized creature, worse in habits

American before generous-hearted Lin-
coln taught the slave holders a lessor
in history. The average negro of Port:
Rico‘ and Cuba knows little er noth-

the sugar, coffee and tobacco planta
tions and in the rice fields, but he
knows nothing of the higher class of
industries, becauSe nobody has taught
him. He does not fear God, because
nobody has shown him the wisdom of
doing so. There is nothing absolutely
new in stating these facts, but there is
something new in saying that a num-
ber of influential Americans have de
termined to lift the negro of both is-
landsfrom his lowly surroundings by
teaching him not’ only the value '0!
learning a trade scientifically, but also
the necessity for [acquiring some

ls William H. Baldwin, Jr., the most
dent of the Long Island Railroad. Mr.
Baldwin for several years has been
interested, in the good work of the
Tuskegee Normal and Industrial In-
stitute of Tuskegee, Ala. This insti-
tution is devoted exclusively to the
advancement of the colored people of
both sexes and has done much to make
the negro of the South and West in-
dependent of others and the create:

The Tuskegee Institute being recog-
nized as the most» successful of its
kind in the world, ‘lt has been sug-
gested that when ”the United States
finally takes hold of Porto Rico and
Cuba some provision be made for the
immediate education of‘the negroes of
both islands. ThoSe who have given
the subject deep thought, and Mr.
Baldwin is one of these, think that if
the government importfrom' both ipsw
lands a certain numberof colored peo‘
ple of each sex, particular'attention,
of course, being paid to the'more ad-
vanced kind, and give them, at the
government’s expense, the benefit of
the various branches of learning at
Tuskegee, they will be able, when
finally graduated "from that institu—
tion, to go back, to the islands and in-
struct their less favored brethren in
the trades and industries they have
learned. "
NEED OF GOOD ROADS-
UncleSam Has Still‘ Much'to Accomplish
Along This Line.
Although much has been done to
improve the conditionof the roads on
this side of'the'A'tlantic, there is still
a great deal to be, desired. This is
made especially manifest when the
roads here are compared with the
highways in nearly all the European
countries. Werejthe government of
the United States to expend millions
every year it would still be a long
while before Uncle Sam could 'rank
his roads in the some class with those
of John Bull. In'addition to the ad
vantages generally recognized as in-’
separable from good highways. meth-
ods of communication would be cheap-
cned and bicycles become an orumnry
means of conveyance in the country
as well as city. Machines driven by
electricity would gradually come to
supersede the horse. This would re-
quire more elevating manual labor in
the manufacture of all the machinery
needed to replace the horse. In Eng;
land, France and Germany the roads
already admit of the use of electrical
vehicles; which are becoming more
and more popular each year. In some
parts of Germany it is said that farm
produce is now being transported on
electric wagons. The use of electric-
.ty as.a motive power is as yet but
imperfectly understood and the con-
struction of horseless carriages is still
In its merest infancy. Great develop-
ments may confidently be expected
here in this line, butAmericnn inge-
nuity will be hampered until highways
are constructed 'over which it will be
feasible for such vehicles to travel.
