They do neither plight nor wed
in the City of the Dead,
in tin.- city where they sleep away the hours;
But they lie, while o‘er them range
Winter blight and summer change,
And a hundred happywhisperings of flowers.
- No, they neither wed nor plight,
And the day is like the night,
For their vision is of other kind than ours.
They do neither sing nor sigh,
In that Burgh of By and By,
Where. the streets have grasses growing cool and
long;
But they rest within their bed,
Leaving all their thoughts unsold,
Booming Silence better for than soil; or song.

A MEMORY LESSON. i
I was sitting in my room in The Free
Press building the other day, workmg
hard, with my feet on the desk, when the
doorway darkened and I looked up. There
stood, with a hand on each of_ the door
posts.n most disreputable looking speci-
men of' a man. I sized him up mstantly
as a drunkard and made up my mind that
he wanted to work
cents. . . ,
In this I was wrong, as it shows how a
person should be slow in coming to an
opinion about an unknown fellow creature.
He wanted only ten cents. - .
“Say, mister,” he said, “you don’t hap-
pen to have ten cents you could spare?”
.“You have struck it the first time. I
it'l' ~
dORSay, mister, I haven’t had anything to
eat for twenty-four hours.” ,
“Then why in the old Harry don t you
go and have dinner? They set up. some
good meals at the first class hotels in this
t”flight do-they? Now commercial travel-
ers have told me that they can’t get a
decent meal in the city. I’ll halve the
difference with you. Make it five cents.
boisllean't keep myself in lager and so
don't intend to try to supply with beer _
an r tram that comes along."
'l‘he fellow coolly came in and sat down.
“I see you are mistaken in my charac-
ter. I have never tasted a drop of liquor
in my life. I was at one time in. one of
the best wholesale houses lnthis town,
but was ruined by my desire for improve-
ment. * I was often warned that _Iwas
taking the wrong course, but, alas. I did
not see my error until it was too late.‘
Most of my comrades used to take a glass
of beer new and than and go to the base-
ball games and be out nights, but I. stuck
to study and you see what I am.” .
I was a little bewildered at this. It
seemed to be reversing the preconceived ,
ideas I had on the subject, and I weakly
allowed the fellow to proceed.
“Yes, I am now an awful example of the
terrible folly of taking a wrong course.
11 y beer drinking companions are pointed
to as model citizens, while I am practically
a trump. ”
“How did it happen?" -
“\Veli, the finishing stroke was the
memory lessons. I had naturally a good
memory. and my firm told me that if I
learned to speak French they would send
me to Paris as their agent there. I
pitched into Bench and was advised to
take memory lessons, as that'yras a great
help in acquiring a. language.
“And was it?”
“In a way—yes. You know how they
strengthen the memory, I suppose?”
."No. Never heard it could be done.”
"Well, the first thing they do they
make you swear an awful oath you will
never. divulge any of the methods, and
then you have to sign a. bond to that ef-
fect with a. heavy penalty attached.”
“Then if I were you Iwould not tell
anything about it. I don’t care to know."
z'Oh, that’s all right. I can plead that
' I have forgotten all about the oath. That
is oncpf the benefits of the memory sys-
tem. You can forget anything so easily.
Yrs, sir. Now if you were to lend me $5
I would very likely forget all about it be.
fore. tomorrow."
”You astonislr me.”
"it‘s quite true. In that way the sys-
tem is very valuable. _ Now to show
name"
“Oh. you have a. girl then?”
“Had, my dear fellow, had.”
“Excuse me if I have brought up sad
recollections. "
“It don‘t matter in the least, I assure
you. You see I can forget it right
nway.’_‘
“ Vell,.about the system?"
“Oh, yes; I had forgotten.
we talking about?"
“You said your girl’sname was”———-
"Exactly. My girl's name was"—
Here his brows wrinkled up and‘hc said
to himself audibly: , - ,
“Girl —— dress — dressmaker — thread—-

lIci-uamo was Roberta—nice girl, too.”
“What was her last name?"
, “Her last name? ' Let me see.” Here

brown study and murmured: “Roberta—

niill—urills. That's it again.' Mills is the
name; Miss Mills. Let’s see; what did I
say her first name was? Girl—dress—
dressmaker"———
“Never mind going over that again.
You said her name was Roberta.”
“That's it; Roberta—R0”—
"Mills?"
“You’re right; Roberta Mills; awfully
nice girl, too. She lives in Windsor.
Know her?” '
“No, I don’t.” '
“Well, she’s lost to me forever. I.
don’t know that it matters: now. I have
rarely the money to pry the ferry fare,
and if I had it mig t wish to‘ spend it
otherwise. ” .
“I don’t doubt it.

"I don‘t see how you get that last

“Why Josephine is the , principal char-
acter in ‘Pinafore,’ you know. Well,
when I met her I said. ‘Hello, Josephine,’
and she thought I was thinking of an-
other glrl, and then it was all day with
me. You see, I should have one on
‘spools' from ‘thread,’ and insteu of that
I went on ‘nccdlcs’ and then, of course;
when a. man gets on needles you can’t tell
at which girl you will bring up.”

never knew there were any memory sys-

Paganinl's Favorite lrtdtr :nn nt.
Paganini purchased many other violins,
particularly several .Stradavut-i. and was
continually buying uni selling fine instru-
ments. but nothing could induce him to
part with his "Joseph del Jestt." He kept
it constantly with him. and watched it as
a father might watch a delicate child.
Once it was sick. appearing suddenly to
lose all its quality. and he took it to
Vitillanre. known as the lllutil fusions re-

Paganini gave him a gold box set with
precious stories. which Paganini said was
exactly the same as one he had to give. to
his physician, and that. the doctor of his
body and the doctor of his violin were eu-
titled to equal consideration. The box
was worth several hundred dollars, prob-
ably ten times as much as the original
maker received for the violitr when it was
new.

quentl made another violin that was the
exact uplicate of Pa nirirri‘s, but when
the latter heard of it e insisted that it
should be sold to him, and so no one ever
had a violin like that of Paganini until,
dying, Paganini bequeathed the copy to
Camille Sivori, who has ever since played
upon it. The original violin Paganini left
to his native city, Genoa, to be kept for-
ever in remembrance of him. It is kept
with scrupulous cat-e. and only the most
famous artists are or have ever been al-
lowed to touch it. Once before the honor

time, when a. man has pitched into me and
“cut me up rough,” and I want to pulver-

Then, I don’t mail the letter and I don’t

of time to crucify a man. The vilest
criminal is entitled to a little reprieve. I
put the manuscript away in a drawer.

Ber-
Bigh Art in Advertluments.’
The very high class of art work notice-
"ublo'in advertising matter calls attention
to the fact that almost the veryI b‘e’st
artists are now employed by advertisers
(at the highest prices they command for
airy work) to draw pictures for circulars,
pamphlets. guide books, t 0 advertising
pages of the magazines, on for the public
columns of the newspapers. The artists
have taken warning from the fate of ,a
bright young fellow who allowed his sig-
nature toappear too often in " icturcs in
railivay advertising books, an all. these
fine pieces of work they now turn out are
copied without their signatures; indeed.
they contract that their names ' shall
neither apple” nor. be m ‘ ‘ oned in con-
nection w t‘ their work; ot long ago
a large firm of manufacturers was so
pleased with the pictures ”a very famous
artist drew for one of the pamphlets that
they scattered broadcast the statement
that the head of the house (flared to pay
the artist his original price over again if
he would sign the picture he hadmade, in
order that they may ban in the manu-
facturer’s parlor. The art st said he could
not do so for any price within the means
of the rich man. '
The same companies that make use of
these high grade pictures also employ ex-
cellent talent for the writing of the read-
ing matter that accompanies the pictures,
and great advertisers now have private
arrangements 'with literary or at least
semi-literary men, whose work in the
back columns of the papers attracts al-
most as much attention as the news it-
self. Here,‘ again, the high prices are
paid and secrecy is maintidncd. One nat-
ural effect of this is that which led an en-
terprising member of a small firm to com-
plain to the writer the other day that it
was no longer possible for him to adver-
tise in such a way as to make his calls
upon the public attractive to the general
eye. He said that smafl business firms
in all the cities are now at their wits’ end
because they have not got the money to
pay for ingenious writing or for display
ing it at t e proper length in the papers.’

Photographing 3 Pork Packer.
When this distinguished gentleman
came to have his pitturc taken he didn’t
know exactly what he wanted; he said
that- Im thought he preferred something
that would set off his ood ‘ints‘ to the
best advantage; he ha not ad a picture
made since the days of ambrotypes, and
he was determined now to get the best, no
matter how much it cost. I asked him
how he’d like to try a dozen of “inspira-
lions," and he said: “Let ’91“ go, Gallu-
gher." So I set him down at the little
table and made him rest his right elbow
on a copy of Shakespeare’s plays, with his
hand gracefully supporting his head. In
his lap I placed snot or book, upon. which
Iysted his left hand carelessly. “Now,
lock up, toward the ceiling,” said I, "and
try to, look expectant.” “What’s that?"
he asked. "As if you were looking for a
corner in lard,” says I. “011, I see,” says
he, and he rolled up his eyes beautifully.
“Don’t miss the diamond,”sa 3 he; "I
paid a heap for it and wouldnt swap it ,
for the best herd in Texas.”
“Now the result," continued the pro-
fessor, -“was that I got a splendid nega-
tive. The pork packer’s daughter was
delighted. ‘Oh, pa a, how perfectly
lovely!’ she cried. ‘ never saw you look
half so sweet beforel’ Of course not.
If I’d wanted to et a characteristic pict-
ure of this man ’d have to set him in a.
chair and make him tilt the chair back,
stuff his hands into his trousers pockets,
and put a. chew of tobacco into his month.
That would have been nature. But pho-
tography is art, and the truly artistic
photographist is he who tries to make a
unique every time.”—Engene Field in

Bismarck In a Passion.
When you are on good terms with Bis-
marck there is no better companion. His
originality of thought is only surpassed
by his originality of expression. Some of
his repartees are characteristic. “What
do you do,” he asked me one day, “when
you are angry? I don‘t think Iyou get
angry as often as I do.” “Bah!” replied,
“I never get angry except at the stupid-
it of people, never at their wickedness.”
“Lon’t you find that it is then a. great re-
lief to smash something ” he continued.
“It’s lucky that you are not in my place,
for there would soon not be a whole piece
of furniture left in the house.” “Do you
see the chamber of theEmperor William?”
he added, pointing to the bath chalet at
Gastein, where this conversation took
place. “I was in a. terrible rage there
once. I left the room; in banging the
door the key remained in my hand; I went
to Lehndorfi’s and threw it - against :-
washbowl, breaking the bowl into a. thou-
sand pieces. ‘Arc you i112" said Lehndorff.

By the way, have you ever noticed that

up enough to leave Germany and Ireland
and other places and come to America,
and can’t on very large wages save enough
to go back. It is funny when you come
to think about it that a man who came to
California years ago at a. cost of about $75,
tells you toda he can’t afford to take a

Vocal Tricks on the stage.
There are several fixed rules—we might
almost call them tricks—for the produc-

quisition of which is {invaluable to the
artist. The abrupt force, for instance, as
it is technically called. which distinguishes
'Mmc. Sara. Bernhardt. above all other
living actresses, and which consists of an
exceedingly rapid. yet distinct. utterance
of the words of her most passionate
speeches. beginning in a very low tone
with extraordinary swiftness, and ending
the phrase with a loud and vibrating cli-
max, which gives an impression of inten-
sity and power well calculated to startle
the audience and rouse the greatest en-
thusiasm, is only an acquired art—a trick ;
—and simply the result of hard practice.
She herself has said that her quarrel

Novel Method of Procurlllg n Livelihood.
‘ ‘ -’A Frultlou Elnodltlon.
One man inn sea rt town seemed to
; be entirely alone in is method of room--
lng a‘ livelihood. He discovered slands
for alivin‘g’; There have been explorers
since the ys of Columbus to these days
of Henry M. Stanley, but this man was
not an explorer; he didpnot fit out an ex-
pedition or lead a [fly for the enrich-
ment of goo phics jknowledge. Other
men, being s rt of provisions, sometimes
go out'to a’ stream and cast in their lines
to catch a mess for supper or breakfast.
This man,,when short of funds, went out
to sea and fished at an island that he
might live off it until he could discover
another. When he '9 sailing the main
it had to be a very wary and circumspect
island that could elude his search. His
name was Capt. Jenhett. He was of
Fronch blood, but born in this country;
and at the time the writer met him he
claimed to have discovered ninety-nine
lslands,.and as he claimed to have ob-
tained a. tent forced}: island from the
United Statues government. he was the
o'wnerbf that number or islands, scattered
aroundthe globe. ”
When he mentioned in a casual way
that among his unconsidered trifles he
had So many islands,- the writer expressed
his astonishment, and said that the fond-
est desire of his heartghad always been-to
possess an island. ‘;
“Well, I’ll give youjonc," said the cap-
tain, with all the free heartedncss that
characterizes a sailor. “I’ve got more
than. Iwant.”
.“Your kindness almost over-powers me.
. What must I do to enter‘ into ‘ session?"
“All you have to dais to t out a yes
set to occupy it and ship the guano on it,
of which you are to deliver tome one-
third of each car 0. All my islands are
guano islands. hen I find another kind
of island in my net I just let it in. I
have too many tobe bothered wit any
that haven’t a fortune on the surface
ready for shipment." ~
He then produced a time worn patent,
issued Nov. 30, 1809, by Hamilton Fish,
secretary of state, which stated that the
gallant captain had discovered ‘ ‘the Island
of Roucador, on the Muskiteer bank, in
the Caribbean sea,” and was entitled to
the guano on it if he worked it. A list
of articles necessary to the working of it
was next produced, in which the exact
number of icks, shovels. planks, nails,
tentshwheel arrows, provisions, and, in-
deed, everything to uired was set down
in tabulated form. efirst load of guano
brought to market, he declared, would
pay for all of these articles, and leave a
handsome profit besides. .
Some of the islands he discovered were
in the Pacificxocean, some lie near the
banks of Newfoundland, others—the
greater portion of the list—are in the
Caribbean sea, and some along the coast
of Brazil. They are not down on the
charts, as the captain cares more about
keeping them for his own profit than for
occupation by the public. .
Several expeditions have been fitted out
to search for the captain’s islands and
bring back some of the guano. One went
out from Norfolk, which is acenter for
the' manufacture of fertilizers, in which
large quantities of guano are used. The
expedition went out fully equipped, every
item on the list of imp ments and pro-
visions being provided. The captain was
stationed at the bow to look out for the
island, and after a .long cruise in the
Caribbean sen. it was found. The island
was there, and also theguano. But so
also was the British flag, and the vessel
was warned off and was not allowed to
take-a pnund'of guano. The expedition
cost $2,500, the captain’s share of which
supported him very nicely until he dis-
covered another island and another
customer.—New York Press.

l’ecuiinrities of American Eyes.
The efforts of the war department to
secure a. field loss for the service of
greater power 1; an the one they now use
has discovered the fact that 'the eyes of
the average American are closer together
than those of men in foreign countries.
The double glass, known as the field
glass, now used is weaker than that used
in the armies of Europe. It is of onl
from five to six powers—entirely too was
for the purpose. The only glass they can
get of sufficient power is. a single spy
glass, which is defective in that it does
not take in a broad enough field. This is
a very serious defect in the‘ equipment of
the American army, but there seems to be
uo'immediate prospect of its correction,
because our eyes are too close together.
Some of the colored troops ma be able to
use a different glass, but the w ite Yankee
soldier cannot overcome the national pccu
lim-ity. The best military field glass ,in
usois that with which the German army
hr supplied. An attempt was made to
adopt. them b the war department, but
it was found 1: at the eyes of the glasses
”were so far apart that they could not be
used by Americans. The department is
sti‘ilt‘lfying how to overcome this dimculty.

A Buyer of False Tooth;
.\ sharp eyed little man attracted the
‘.."r itcr‘s attention in a, Chica 0 hotel by
the close watch he maintains at the din-
m-r table upon the jaws of the other
,‘yueets. After watching them all pretty
closely for a while, he finally concentrated
his attention upon an elderly gentleman
opposite, who ate his food with some diffi-
culty. Even a casual observer could have
noted that be selected only the softest
articles on the bill of fare.
“That man has a bad fitting set of teeth
and I’ll get them,” said the little man.
When the elderly gentleman left the table
the little one followed, and in a. few mo-
ments was in conversation with him, and,
as it afterward transpired, had engaged to
buy his false teeth‘ as soon as he had ob-
tained a new set.
This little man picks up a great many
sets of false teeth in the course of a year.
Most: persons that have a-set before they
reach 30 years of age are obliged to buy
two more sets, at least, before they reach
60 years, and the mouth changes so that
teeth that fit well and serve their wearer
well at first nftera while do not fit and
cause the wearer a. great deal of discom-
fort. The man that makes a living‘in
this line has acquired a great knack for
discovering ill fitting teeth, and he scarcely
ever fails to secure a bargain, for notwith-
standin false teeth are the only immortal
materia about our bodies, inasmuch as
they are said to be capable of resisting 4,000
- (legs. of heat (Fahrenheit), very few people
know that they are worth anything second
hand, and so t 9 little man gets them at
his own figure.
He told the writer that many sets of
false teeth are found. Owners are more
careless of them than is supposed, and in-
stances ure more freq
ima ined‘in which the have béen left in
hotc bedrooms. They ave been found in
railroad cars and even in horse cars, and
quite frequently turn up in cubs. As the
cabbies and railroad em loyes cannot wear
other people's teeth t ey hunt up the
buyer, and he gets the set for a few' shil-
lings. The scavengers sometimes rake up
a. set in an ash barrel, and sets are some-
times picked up in the streets. One set
was found in a magpie’s nest in Pennsyl-
vania, and another was picked out of a
woman's throat by asurgeon. The patient
would never wear them a sin, and they
were sold for a song. be little man

floppy and Home Loving French.
I assert that, to those who will look at
us without bias, we must a pear in our
true light therhappiest on most home
loving people among modern nations.
. That provincial life in France is narrow,
l have admitted, but what a ver dove
cote is almost every little home! f the
time to be happy is now, and the way to
be so is to make. all those around us
happy. then are we the most enviable
people on earth, for, we put that theory
into practice. In what other land will
youvfind so many households whose mem-
bers are of three or four generations?
Parents and children cling together to the
exclusion of all the world outside. Not a
boy is brought up with a. view to emigra-
tion. The thought of the oung birds
leaving the nest is dreaded. {know girls
who have refused splendid offers of mar-'
rings and preferred humbler ones because
the latter gave them a chance of living
near papa and momma, and parents who
have put themselves to any amount of in-
convenience to make room for daughters-
in-law rather than part with their sons.
A French father would think you mad
if .you told him that you left your family
at 7 in the morning to return to them at
7 or 8 in the evening, as so many Ameri-
cans do; and that on Sunday, your only
day at home, you were too exhausted to
enjoy your children’s prattle or to take a
walk with your wife. The little French

Hungry Fire Department Horses.
Fir-e department horses in the big cities
are, as a rule, ravenous feeders. There
are certain hours of the day when they
are fed, and the horse soon comes to know
the feeding hours as well as 'the hostlcrs.
As early as 5:30 o'clock in the morning is
oats feeding time. If the feeder happens
to be a little slow in getting down stairs,
if he is only two minutes late, there is the
cutest tramping of hoofs on the wooden
oors. kicking the sides of the stalls and
the wiekedest chomping of bridle bits ever
seen or heard in a stable. This sort of
rocket is kept up continuously, too, until
the oats are divided out for the meal. ,.
The moment they commence feeding, if
an alarm comes in, every horse in the
house will leave his oats and take his
place under the swinging harness, and
will impatiently dance around anxious to
get off for a run. The fire department
horse is, I believe, the only one that will
leave his oats voluntarily to go to work.
The best hostlcrs in the department al-
‘ ways take the bits out of the mouths of
the horses at feeding time. This is done
to give the animal a. chance to thoroughly
masticuto his food. The horse that eats
with the bit in his mouth soon loses his
appetite from indigestion, and will not
last long in the department—Fire Chief

Increase of Scandinavian Population.
The Scandinavian population grows at
its root in Castle Garden in New York,
and in all its branches over the land. The
total number is now about 2,000,000, of
whom one-half were born across the sea.
They are divided in about these propor-
tions: Swedes, 1,000,000; Norwe inns,
750,000; Danes, 245,000; Icelanders, 0,000.
So rapidly have they increased in Minne-
sota that they now number about one-half
of the ulntion of that state. Chicago
is the lift Scandinavian city in the world,
and Minneapolis the sixth—Public Opin-

' ' Judge'l‘. C. McLondon writes to the
- Swift Specific 00.: “About three years
ago, Jerry Bradley, had a cancerous
sore on his face, near the right eye. It
caused him a great deal of pain, and he
lost the sight of the eye, but was finally
cured by the use.of Swift’s Specific.
This case is well known in \Vilke C0,,
Ga. where he lived."

3 Mint, writes: "I suflereda rent deal

. cine was recommen ed, ,nnd after using
.six bottles I was completely cured.
Your medicine does even more than you
claim for it. I have known ittocuro
cases which were thou ht ho sless.”
.Mrs. A. M. Goldsmith, o. 674 arr-en,
St, Brooklyn, VN. Y., writes: “1 com-
menced using S. S. S. about three years
ago. lhad suflercd with a sore throat
for over a year. I used a great many
other remedies with no good results.
Mylrttie girl, also, had sore fingers; it
commenced from the quick, and then
the nails would come off. We doctored
.her for over two years, and when Icom-
mcnced using S. S. s. I thoughtl would
see what it would do for her. , I am
thankful to say that it entirely cured
her. It is the best remedy I know
of for the blood. I really believe
it was the means of saving my life.

cheerfully recommend'it to all suffering
