A SONG OF DREAMS.
Adréamof amerrychildatpla‘y, ‘
Blue eyed and fair, frolicsome, gay,
Glad as the birds in the springtime are,
Sorrows afloat like clouds afar,
Careless of trouble, untouched by fear,
Singing her way through the golden year.
A dream of a woman, old and gray,
m'inkled and bent, weeding her way
Lonesomely toward the last milestone,
Where the grim, dark shadow of death is thrown,
Storm stained and weary, and worn with care—-
The candle of life at in final fiare.
A dream of a grave in a churchyard lone.
Neglected, drear, withweeds o‘ergnown,
With only the ch of the cricket's song,
As it sings in the grass the whole night long,
To break the silence that broods so deep
Where the wornout soul and body sleep.

THE RIVALS.
“Now that we understand each other, let
us shake hands and be friends."
“That's it.” .
Their hands met in a firm grasp.
They looked into each other's faces, one
with a merry twinkle in his eye and a broad
smile over his jovial features: the other with'
a glance long drawn out, grave and solemn,
that seemed to cast a shadow of gloom on
everything about the scene.
“You'll do your best, and I'll do my best.
That‘s what we’ve agreed on, ain‘t it, Zip
Tifkinsl" .
“That's it, Ben Button, and whichever of
us wins, the other shall bear no ill will."
“Just so, Zip.” .
“And everything except murder shall be
counted fairl"
“Eh,"
“Andymurder, too, if you are willing to
take the consequences. ”
“Bay, Zip, hold on!"
“So if I should put you out of my' way
right here," continued Zip, withoutxseeming
to notice the interruption, and drawing a
small pistol. out of his boot leg as he spoke,
“and it would never be found out on me, why
it would be all right.” .
“But, Zip, say"—
“O'r if it were found out," Zip still con—
tinned, raising the pistol higher and higher
till it pointed straight for Ben's breast, “and
I were willing to take all therlsk to ct vicar
which Ivnthink'I am ready to do, w y that,
too, would be all right."
“Hello! Ben, where are you going?” shouted
Zip, as the former turned and ran down the
road at what seemed to be almost breakneck
speed, frequently casting scared and anxious
glances behind him.
Ben, however, did not stop to answer, but
kept straight on until he was lost to sight in a
bend of the read, while Zip, bending almost
double with laughter, sent pcal after pea! of
merriment ringing out on the balmy evening
air. '
“Of all the chickens in christendom Ben
Button takes the worm!” cried Zip, a broad
grin still on his face, as he also turned and
walked away.
Zip Pifkins, full of life, fun-and frolic, had
for the last few weeks been playing rival to
Ben Button in the affections of Melinda
Spratt. . Ben was seriously in love with Me-
linda; Melinda's young heart was fond 'of
Zip, and Zip, homeless, careless, fun loving
rover that he was, had never a thought that
reached into the future for an hour.
Ben and Zip had met in the road accident-
ally. Ben was on his way to the Spratt
homestead to make further siege to Melinda’s
heart. 4
For the last few days Ben had had but one
thought, and that was how to get rid of Zip
as a rival. So, when he met Zip, he pleaded
from the fullness of his heart and in the
most persuasive language he could command
that Zip would relinquish all claim to Me-
linda’s heart and hand. -
Zip, in pure fun, ; feigned love also, and
with well assumed earnestness tried in turn
to prevail upon Ben to withdraw from the
race. Neither, however, would ive in. As
a last resort they finallyag that each
should, in a fair, friendly way, be permitted
to plead his own cause with Melinda and let
her decide.
With Zip, so far, it was only a good joke,
and as such he had made the most of it, as
has been seen.
Ben Button with regularity spent two even-
ings of the week at the Spratt domicile.
With Melinda he made very slow, if any,
progress into favor; with Mrs. ,Spratt, how-
ever, he won golden opinions and stood in
hi h grace. - '
face the compact between Ben and Zip the
latter had visited Melinda but once, and then
she had, in a very shy and sweet way, teas—
ingly upbraided him for having tried to take
the life of her constant admirer, Ben Button.
“And would it break your heart, Melinda,
if he were to die?” asked Zip, with an eager
undertone in his voice, watching her face
closely.
“It would-almost-of course, if—but, Zip,
you have no right to ask such questions," she
answered, looking up shyly and blushing.
"Well, you needn’t be uneasy about him.
I wouldn’t hurt Ben Button by a single
thought or word, much less take his life,” re-
plied Zip, with an earnestness unusual with
him.
“I was only joking, Zip. But you seem to
be awfully in earnest and solemn this even-
ing. What is ailing you, any way?"
“Nothing much, only I have made up my
mind to go away,” answered Zip, looking
aside.
“Go away?»
“Yes, Melinda." .
“Where are you going?” ,
“Anywhere. It makes no difference, so I
get away.”
“And ain’t you coming back?”
“Some day, maybe, if ever I get to be of
any account to myself or anybody else.”
“You are of some account now, Zip, and
you had better stay right where you are.”
“No; I’ve made up my mind to go and I
am sure it is the best thing that could hap-
pen for us all around. so I’ll stick to it,” said
Zip resolutely.
Melinda was looking out of the window.
“Then she saw a man coming up the lane to-
ward the house and recognized in the comer
Ben Button, a shade of annoyance fiitted
over her face.
Zip had‘b'een watching Melirrdn, and when
he saw the slight frown on her face he, too,
glanced out. and, seeing who was coming, he
rose to his feet ready to depart, saying, “l’ll
call in again before I leave and tell you all
good-by. Good evening."
Melinda. glanced rcpl'oachfull y after the
retreating Zip. There was a suspicion of
tears in her eyes and a little quiver around
her mouth, as she murmured to herself,
“Fool Zip! he is going away because he
thinks I am going to marry that hateful Ben
Button and he is jealous. But I can’t make
him see and I won’t ask him to stay. I’ll die
first. There!”
The truth was that a serious thought had
at last come to Zip. 116 was ill love, and he
knew it. He had looked at himself as in a
looking glass and found out his own worth-
lessness. More than that, he had determined
to go away, change his habits and shiftless-
ness, and become a useful man and citizen.
He would not ask Melinda for her love until
he had made himself worthy of it. If, how-
ever, in the meantime some other man—Ben
Button, perhaps—stepped in ahead of him,
why, he would still be the gainer by an am-
bition for higher things which, in an indi-
rect way, would be a gift from Melinda.
That evenin Ben Button asked Melinda to
become his wi e; but she was in no humor to
answer him then, for Zip’s'foolish determina-
tion to go away troubled her in no small de-
gree. She knew, too, that her mother fa-
vored Bed above any one else, and that she
would be grieved if Ben received a curt re
fusal, so she told him she would have an au-
swer ready for him when he should call
again. and Ben was happy. \
n... .mmd nwnm Thev were days of
hope to lien, days of doubt and irresolutlon
to Melinda, and busy days for hand and
thought with Zip. '
The decisive evening came at last, and Ben
was on hand with his usual clockwork regu-
larity to receive what he fully expected to be
a favorable answer to his suit.
It had been a rainy day, but the sun had
broken through the, clouds in the evening and
was setting bright and clear, casting its last
rays upon Mrs. Spratt, Melinda and Ben
Button, as they sat on the west gallery of
the house.
“I declare, Melinda," said Mrs. Spra'tt, sud-
denly, “if them well diggers. haven't gone
off and forgot to shut the gap in the fence
around the well.”
“And there is Blossie’s calf in the yard
now, and going straight for the well. I’ll go
and shut up the gup, mother; you sit still,"
said Melinda, as Mrs. spratt was about to
l'ISO. -
Melinda ran toward the well, bending the
calf off at the same time. She was about to
ciow the gap 'in the fence when her eyes fell
upon the wide opening in the ground. She
hesitated a nutrient, then entered the gap and
approached tho well cautiously. 0n the brink,
sh) peered over and looked into the depth
below. She was about to withdraw again,
but the ground under her feet gave way, and
with a loud scream she was hurled to the
bottom of the well.
Mrs. Spratt and Ben saw what happened,
for-their eyes had fondly followed Melinda
in her every movement, and they now rushed
to the scene of the catastrophe.
Stepping carefully upon some planks that
were lying across the opening of the well,
they peered into the abyss below them.
There was no sound except of crumbling
earth and pebbles falling from the sides of
the well. Thecarth was loose from the rain
during the day, and the break where Ma-
linda had fallen II: had started the walls to
caving all around.
Then a large mass of earth fell crashing to
thelmfiom .of .fhe mmmmmm

A faint mean from the bottom of the well
reached the ears of those above.
“0h, Ben, she is alive! Save her! save
her!" cried Mrs. Spratt.
“I can’t, Mrs. Spratt. That rock in the
side of the well will fall in directly,” whined
Ben. ~
“0h, save her, Ben! I’ll lower you down
with the Windlass and hoist you out again,”
pleaded Mrs. Spratt. ~
“’Taint no use. ' That rock will tumble in 5
in a minute," still moaned Ben.
Just then Zip, withhead bent, came walk-
ingtoward the house. Mrs. Spratt saw him
and called out to him excimdly: “Zip! Zip!
come quick, and save Malinda.”
Zip heard and did not lose a moment ill
running to the well.
He took in the situation at once. With all
speed possible he unwound the rope from the
Windlass, and after telling Mrs. Spratt and
Ben- to stand readyto hoist, went down in the
well, hand over hand, on the rope.
Theearth was still falling, striking the bot-
tom with a hollow sound, when Zip with a
lusty shout told them to hoist away.
Melinda was lauded above ground at last,
bleeding, bruised and unconscious. The rope
was lowered again, and just as Zip’s head was
above ground the large rock in the side of
the well and masses of earth from all around
crumbled in and fell with a sound as of thun-
der to the bottom of the well. ,
It was a narrow escape.
Melinda was carried to the house and a
doctor was sent for. Before he arrived, how-
ever, she regaincd consciousness, and seeing
'Zip bending over her, a glad smile lighted up
her fair young face, while she murmured,
“Don’t go away, Zip; don’t go away."
Just then Mrs. Spratt, accompanied by the
doctor, entered the room and approached the
bed. When the good mother saw the smile on
her daughter’s face and Zip bending low
above the pillow, glad tears came to her eyes
and her voice was low and tender.
“You can kiss her, Zip, if you want to,”
she said.
Zip did “want to," and kissed Melinda on
her smiling lips.
Then Mrs. Spratt put her arms around
Zip‘s neck‘and kissed him too, and told him
that he must leave the room while the doc-
tor attended to Melinda’s hurts, which upon ,
examination proved to be more bruises after
all. .
Ben hung around the house for a while,
but when he saw that he was left out in the
cold by everybody, even by Mrs._Spratt, he
thought it best to go.—John P. Sjolander in
Times-Democrat.
Paris Real and Romantic.
"‘1 never was so disappointed in my life as
'in the working women of Paris," remarked
one lady—American, of course. “I had
heard so much about the taste of Paris, that
I thought even the shop girls and women in
the streets would show it in superior neatness
and style in their clothes; but they don’t
look as nice as the working women we see at
home.” Another lady said: “I am so disap-
pointed; I always thought of Paris as a sort
of glorified city, where everything would be
found that was most beautiful. I have only
been here two days, it is true; but I have
been to the Ben Marche and the shops of the
Louvre, and I was not tempted to buy in the
least." Naturally, two, days were not much
in which to discover the beauty of Paris, nor
see the shops of the Bon Marche and the
Louvre, the places in which to find the costly
novelties that confer the prestige of supreme
fashion and taste upon a city.
There. is, howcv'er, an immense difference
between the Paris of today and the Paris of
even ten or fifteen years ago. Then the
working woman had not begun to adopt the
prevailing style. They had a neat and prac-
tical dress of their own—not the peasant
drws—but simple in construction and free
from cheap trimming undattempts at “drap-
ery.” Now their drem :flut after paper pat-
tern modes, is cheaply furbelowed and soon
looks shabby. The trim neatncss and occur-
acy of out has given place to attempts at
finery, which cannot be renewed often
enough for cleanliness and which marks the
decline in taste, which has been neglected or
not cultivated in the right direction.
There is new little of originality, for there
is no one to stimulate or pay for experimen-
tal efiorts such as are needed for the develop-
ment of original and beautiful ideas even in
dram. The fit of the French dressmaker is
still the best in the world; but it would cease
to be so if it were not for her Russian, Amer-
ican, English and German customers. —Jeuny

The Coal Theories of Today.
The coal theories of today may be
classed under two general heads, the in-
organic and organic. The inorganic theory
assumes that the elements, carbon and
hydrogen, combined duriu the embryonic
condition of the earth, wit out the inter-
vention of organic life, and that the
hydrocarbons so formed, being volatile.
sublimed and consequently condensed.
This theory has been advanced and advo-
cated by. some of the ablest of modern
geolo Ists and thinkers. Arguments of
consi erable weight can be urged both
for and against the thcor .
The organic theory ho ds that animal
and vegetable remains have furnished the
material since changed to carbon and hy-
drocarbons in their various forms as coal.
anthracite, asphalt, petroleum, graphite,
natural gas, etc. This general theory
may be subdivided into a vegetable and
an animal group. The vegetable theory
has long been a favorite one, not without
reason, and more than one geologist has
been criticised with severity, and re-
garded as a geological heretic, for dariu
to express doubt. It must be admittc
that the weight of evidence seems to be
in favor of this theory; but how the
chan es have come about, and why true
coalgonly found in the Carboniferous
rocks is not eas to explain, nor can it be
proved that'coa is wholly vegetable, not-
withstanding tho fossil lants found both
above and below beds 0 true coal. Hut-
ton, in the latter part of the last century,
seems to have been the first to examine
coal ' under the microsco 0. He found
parts of plants and cells iil ed with wine
colored matter, which was volatile. From
thise idence he assumed that c‘oal was
wholl vegetable, an opinion held by most
writers since—Henry G. Banks in Over-
land Monthly. .

Only Veneer.
But come a little nearer home.
Let’s take a look at our own pleasing per-
sonalities. Do we wear wigs, false teeth,
tight shoes? Do we wear high heeled boots
to deceive our neighbors as to our height?
Do we pull in our waists and pad out our
busts? Do we wear funny things behind, in
the absurd endeavor to persuade people who
know better that the Lord made us different
from what he did make us? You remember,
don’t you, a few years ago, when our dear
sisters wore little bumps on their shoulders?
That was the funniest fashion I ever knew.
Every Woman tried to make everybody else
believe that on each shoulder she had a little
hump. Now, all women, and a majority of
men, know that no women was ever born
with a little bump on either shoulder, let
alone on both.
Our rich men are curious creatures. ' They
have ornamented, benutifled, solidfied our
streets and those of every significant city in
the land by magnificent structures, semi-
hotcls, and they have pandered to a fast
growing sentiment in this land of the free,
which seems to ape foreign affairs by giving
to these structures names which mean some-
thing on the other side of the ocean, but
which here are bloomingly idiotic. Our
great apartment houses here are called the
Buckingham, the Rockingham, the Sand—
I‘ingham, the Belvidcre and so on.
THOUGHT IIE was a SAILOR.
I was sitting on the broad piazza of a sum-
mer hotel about an hour ago, when a curious
creature came from the inner recesses and
stood in the doorway. On his head was a
sailor’s cap. He wore a. flannel shirt with a
wide turnover collar and anchors embroid-
ered on the ends. Gilt buttons made his
attire more conspicuous, but what attracted
my attention more especially were the creases
down the middle of his trousers, which by
the way were turned up about two inches
from the bottom, revealing a. pretty pair of
black silk stockings and neatly fitting patent
leather pumps. He was a dude from Dude-
ville, a. darling escpaed from the bandbox,
yet he thought he was a. sailor, and that the
effect produced upon the guests of the hotel
was that of a rollicking, jolly, pipe smoking
tar.
I wondered as I looked at him what he
would do with those pumps and those silk
stockings and his pretty trousers in a storm.
Ho apparently had about as much muscle as
a fresh water claim, and I queried how many
' ropes his bejewelled fingers could handle in
a moment of necessity or of danger.
Whom did he deceive?
He knows perfectly well he is no sailor, and
he knows that everybody who looks at him
knows that he is no sailor. As I looked at
him, my mind ran back to the stormy days
in 1861, when, with one foot on the sturdy
solidity of peace and prosperity, the nation
put its other foot forward upon the threshold
of a five years’ war, with its, blood and tu'r-
moil. I was sitting in the office of Williard’s
hotel in IVashington. The great corridor
was packed with angry men, eagerly discuss-
ing what must be done. Forcing his way
through the dense mass, In young gentleman
in the full uniform of a colonel, approached
the timk and registered his name, appended
to which were the words, “ avmaster of the
state of New York." By is side clinkeda
sword. On his shoulders were glittering
cpaulettcs. Brass buttons were all over him,
and his cap was cocked over his right eye,
with a. real 1861 swagger. Col. Mansfield sat
near me, then a bronzed veteran with a
record, and Rosecrans, then I think a colonel,
also was at the desk settling a. bill, cl'e he do-
parted for the extreme west.
man Roman EXPERIENCES.
The slap dash of the young gentleman
attracted their attention. They looked at
him with curious eyes, and seemed to see in
him a prefiguration of the young America,
about to come to the front. This young
gentleman was on the staff of the governor
of the state. He was there on duty, but he
then had no more idea of war than any of
the rest of us. To him the trip was a jolifi-
cation. To him the experience was a picnic.
To him it was all cocked cap, brass buttons,
aclinking sword and a well written name,
”with a paymaster of the state of New York
at the end of it. He hadno more idea of the
true duties of a soldier, then my curled
darling in the yachting suit had of the duties
of a. sailor. His dress, so far as typifying
any character beneath it, was a. force, a
sham, a pretense, and yet I doubt not in later
days, when ruder experiences were under-
gone, he developed the manhood that was in
him. His bright buttons became tarnished
by exposure; the blue of his uniform faded
to a shiny white, and the noise made by his
sword was not its clinking on the marble
pavement of .a metropolitan hotel, but its
whizzing through the air, as pointing the
way, he led his comrades to victory or death.
Mind you, I don’t believe that the Ameri-
can mind intends deception.
These Shams, pretenses, dcceits are but the
shining veneer, super laid over the hard
wood endurance of sturdiness of character,
of honest determination to win success in the
meat battles of life.
\Vell!
Well, the obvious suggestion would be to
throw away your brass rings, to slice of!
your shoulder humps, to let your waist have
its normal size, to wear heels of comfort
rather than of show, to plane away the
veneers and stand as you were made, im~
proving along rightful lilies, helping your-
selves to grow, that you may extend the
right hand of fellowship to others who would
like, but are unable, to follow your example.

Defending the Dutch Language.
Our aggressive mother tongue, which is
pushing its way into every corner of the
earth, has arousrd the South African repub-
lic by its encronc-hments, and the Boers are
rallying-to the defense of Dutch as the na-
tional language, .
When it was announced in the volksraa
the other day that the English language was
spoken in the public offices, in the markets,
and was even creeping into the courts, the
vice president stood up for the vernacular,
and declared that he would give every drop
of blood in his body to uphold the Dutch
language. The legislature then authorized
the government to require that only the
Dutch be used by public officials and in the
market places and courts. 'i‘wo Englishmen
who were enjoying a lawsuit were thereupon
informed that if they could not talk Dutch
they must hire an interpreter or get out oi

Rivers chrvingr (Bl-most.
It appears that the western and southwest-
ern bank of the Rio Grande is the one which
§uffers most from the abrasion of the current.
Why does the river show this tendency to
work to the westward! Something like this
appears in the case of the Mississippi. For-
merly the river had its principal debouch-
ment into the see through bayou Manchac
and the lakes. In the course of time that route
was abandoned for the one now known as the
main river, which is very considerably to the
westward of the old outlet. In the meantime
the river has shown a disposition to transfer its
channel still further to the westward through"
the Atchafalaya. Can it be made to appear
from these facts that there is a tendency, in
great rivers flowing in general directions
along meridians of the earth's longitude to
swerve to the westward? Can it be held that
because the rotation of the earth on its axis
tothe eastward the weight of the watér in
such longitudinal rivers is thrown by the
centrifugal force against the western bank
so as to abrade them with increased energy

The Emperor and the Yankee.
It Is told that while the late Emperor
Frederick was in London for the queen’s ju-
bilee Slr Morell Mackenzie introduced a
noted American doctor to him. After a
careful examination of his threat the im-
perial patient, in his usual cheerful manner,
inquired, “I suppose an imperial throat is
very much like that of other mortals?”
"\Vell, sir,” came the quick reply, “we will
try and make it so at any rate.” The then
crown prince thoroughly appreciated the
quick Yankee wit, and, striking his broad
chest, said, “But this is all right, is it not?”
The Yankee gravely looked the splendid pro-
portions of the illustrious patient up and
down, and deliberately drnwled out, “As for
the rest, sir, you would make a good Ameri-
can.” Fritz’srnerriment was great, but the

some DAY. .
Some day! Some day! tls weary
Of souls too sadly worn to live,
Save in the he that time may give
Some richer b g, by and by;
Arul mournful is that hopeful sigh--
Some day. I
Some day! Some day! The heart once light
Has learned too well thus siren song:
Let live and thrive the right and wrong——
The good upheld, the wrong set right,
The just shall see; ’twill cud—tho fight—
Somo day.
Some day? Some day?, ‘Twill come, all me,
When, written on life‘s title page
Is Finis! The golden age
0! dreams is something yet to be,
But voleings o'er an unknown sea——
Some day.
~~Hollis W. Field in Detroit Free Press.
Thought It W.- a Ticket.
The greenest man I ever saw on a railroad
I was a conductor of a suburban passenger
‘ train that I rode on from St. Louis afew
days ago. I guess hewas acousin of some
big official. and had lived in the woods all
his life. Somehow I had expended more
money than I had calculated upon, andrwhen
I took my seat I found in my pocket but a
fifty cent “shin plaster,” which I was pre-
serving as a memento. When the conductor
came to take up tickets I handed him this.
I had pulled my hat over my eyes in a negli-
gent woy, but judge of my surprise to hear
the three familiar clicks, and those repeated
twice. Then he walked away. I looked at
him in astonishment, and asked him to stay
his hand. “What in the world are you
punching holes in that fifty cent piece forl
Give me my change," “Why,” he replied,
innocently, “I thought that was one of those
new style lithograph tickets, good for fifty
miles, and that you wanted toride it out.” I
explained and got my change, but it shook
my fractional currency proclivities mightily.

The Staves of Authority.
In the collection of an acquaintance of
mine are some curious relics. A portion of
' them is two stoves of polished reddish wood,
each about as tall as an ordinary man. The
stoves have iron ferrules, a velvet covered
hand grip, and am topped with a gilt carv-
ing intended tosuggest a flame burning‘in
the bowl of a torch. They were carried
years ago by the aldermen of this city, and
were the chief among the badges of tho ald-
crmanic oflico. In those days, I fancy, "alder-
men wore robes, too, so that, in unifdnn had
with their stave; of authority, they must
have presented quite an imposing appear-
ance. As time were on the stoves were re-
duced in length, till they became mere
truncheoils. They stil however, kept up to
the torch style of co ctfon, as maybe
seen from samples of them in this same col-
lection—Alfred Trumble in New .York News.
A Cane for Footpnds.
A wicked and murderous walking cane was
displayed in an avenue store the other day.
Its hollow covering was punctured with at
least twenty-five holes, and behind these
were concealed as many sharp steel blades.
The object of the cane was at once apparent.
Suppose an unfriendly hand soiled it on a
dark night. The owner of the stick would
simply draw it backward, and lo! from out
the little holes the knives would fiyto do
their bloody, lacerating work. No footpad
would grasp that cane more than once. The
principle of the invention is not new. It is
already used with success in a patented
watch guard, the spikes of which spring out
and hook themselves in your pocket when
your watch chain is pulled—Washington
Post.
napla Military Movement.
Some one interested in stirring up English
alarms has discovered in the Memoirs of
Marshal Neya record of the .fact that in
1805, when Napoleon, designing the invmion
of England, gathered an army at Boulogne,
it was daily exercised in the operation of
embarking and disembtfl'king, and that it
was found that in ten and a half minutes 25,-
000 men,with all their flora, ammunition,
artillery and horses, were embarked, and in
thirteen minutes were landed again-I-New

English Railway Reform.
In England there is just space enough be-
tween the edge of the railroad station plat-
forin and the footboards of the passenger
cars to let an unwary traveler fall between
and be ground to‘pieces bythe moving train.
An accident or two has happened, andnn
agitation has begun in favor of reform in
either the footboards or the platform “In
America,” the reformers urge, “such an {to-
cideut could not happen.”-—Chicogo Herald,
A Woman Lawyer’- Law-
The author of the popular Nebraska law

are the only other states of the Union when
mothelrs are thus favored by law.-NeW York
