LITTLE MOCCASINED FEET.
Two little moccasinecl feet I heard—
Heard while I reveled in fancies quaint~-
Treading unsteadily through the room,
Pattering soft in the twilight‘s gloom
There by the door. As the curtain stirred,
Soft came the sound of her laughter faint—
Clear as the ring of the tinkling chain,
Sweet as the nightingale’s sweetest strain.
Two little moccasined feet that brought
Thoughts I‘d been seeking an hour or more;
Seeking in vain, for my fickle muse,
True to her sex, would her gifts refuse.
Giving the caller the smile she sought,
Kissing her flowery lips o‘er and o‘er,
Up to my lap then I lifted her—-
Muse who inspired without demur.
W'onderful moccasined feet were they,
Guiding me into Elysian fields;
Wonderful, too, was that baby hand,
Leading me thither to fairy land;
Potent as well were her eyes blue gray,
Casting the spell that a siren wields.
Where was there ever a muse like his,
Bringing a charm with her baby kiss?
Two little moccasincd feet—ah, me!
Where will they stray in the coming years?
Shall it be in a time less fair,
Zliarring her life with a cloud of care?
God give her strength for what is to be,
Robbing her sky of its rain of tears,
Leading the trend of her simple life
Far from the world and its vulgar strife.
——Franl;lyn W. Lee.
Did’t Bounce Him.
“You do not remember old Sam Hammond
of Hudson, who built the steamboat Legisla-
'. tor, which ran between Hudson and New
York forty-five years ago?” said an old resi-
dent to an Argus reporter. “Oh, no! you
had not seen the peep of day then. But I will
tell you an amusing story connected with old
Sam and his boat. Hammond was a wealthy
man for his time, liberal with his money, but
indifl‘erent and careless with his dress. His
appearance wasslovenly, while the knot of his
necktie generally rested above his shoulder.
“Old Sam thought he would take a trip to
New York upon his boat, and when the gong
sounded for supper the old man found his way
to the table, and took a seat at the side of a
finely dressed lady. The clerk of the boat,
only employed the day previous, and never
having heard of its owner, espied Hammond,
and immediately made for him. ‘Say, old
man,’ he said, ‘you will have to get up and
eat at the next table.’ Hammond was a little
deaf, and either did not hear him or pre-
tended not to, and kept on munching his food.
The clerk rushed to the captain and asked
permission to ‘yank a dirty looking old top
from the supper table.’
"The captain came into the cabin and gave
‘Good heavens,
young man,’ he whispered, ‘do you know who
that is?’ ‘No,’ replied the affrighted clerk.
‘That is old Sam Hammond,’ answered the
captain, ‘who owns twenty-nine buildings in
the city of Hudson, and owns this boat.’
“The paralyzed clerk was speechless for a.
time. Finally he said, ‘Cap, lend me two
dollars and let me oil? at the next landing.’ ”
—Kingston Argus.
Use of Cats’ “'liiskers.
Every one must have observed what are
usually called the whiskers on a. cat’s upper
lip. The use of these in a state of nature is
very important. Theyare organs of touch.
They are attached to a bed of close glands un-
der the skin, and each of these long and stifl
hairs is connected with the nerves of the lip.
The slightest contact of these whiskers with
any surrounding object is thus felt most dis-
tinctly by the animal, although the hairs
themselves are insensible. They stand out on
each side in the lion as well as in the common .
eat; so that from point to point they are
equal to the width of the animal’s body. If
we imagine, therefore, a lion stealing through
a covert of wood in an imperfect light, we
shall at once see the use of these long hairs.
They indicate to him, through the nicest
feeling, any obstacle which may present it-
self to the passage of his body; they prevent
the rustle of boughs and leaves, which would
give warning to his prey if he were to at-
tempt to pass through too close a bush; and
thus, in conjunction with the soft cushions of
his feet and the fur upon which he treads
(the retractile claws never coming in contact
with the ground), they enable him to move
towards his victim with a stillness greater
even than that of the snake, that glides along
the grass and is not perceived till it is coiled
round its prey—Boston Budget.
Love and Friendship.
Some propose to discountenance all gossip
of whatever kind, as a bar to slander. But
this is unnecessary. “To set a saw is not
necessarily to file its teeth all down,” and to
have conversation harmless it is unnecessary
to confine it to impersonal matters, or to re-
duce the treatment of every personal ques-
tion to the dead commonplace level. There
should be a generous latitude accorded to ah
general conversation. One’s absent friends
and neighbors may be spoken of as though by
some miraculous power they could hear all
remarks. We would. soon dislike our dearest
friends were we to speak evil of them—for a
hatred of those we have injured ever creeps
into the heart. There is too little human
love in the world. Love and friendship, that
divine form of love, should be assiduously
cultivated. How friendship is exalted in
poetry and romance! How our hearts thrill
with admiration when we read in history of
the illustrious few that have been willing to
sacrifice even life itself upon the altar of
friendship!
Strive then to win friends, and in all inter-
course with them appeal only to their nobler
natures, and never listen to evil reports con-
cerning them, thereby proving that your
friendship is worthy of the name—Fannie L.
Fancher in Ladies’ Home Journal.
The Editor's Poem.
A well known editor, who never talks shop
unless he has something worth telling, recent-
ly told a story at his expense to a. party of
friends, which was overheard by a reporter.
“Not long ago,” he said, “I received a
m from an unknown contributor, who
lived in a little western town. The letter ac—
companying the manuscript was written in
that confidential strain which always proves
the writer to be an untrained contributor to
the press. After praising my paper and in
forming me that he had been a. reader of it
for more years than it had been in existence,
he had taken the liberty of sending me a lit-
tle poem for publication. The honor of ap-
pearing in print was all the remuneration he
desired; indeed, he was frank enough to state
that he did not consider the verses inclosed
had any market value. When I examined
the poem I found it was one I had written
myself many years before, and for which I
lsiad received a. handsome sum. ”—New York
un.
Storm and Wind.
When a storm is advancing, the wind blows
to meet it. Thus a. wind blowing from the
east or southeast indicates the approachlof a
storm from the west. When the storm center
has pased, however, the Wind changes and
follows the storm. If a. poisOn has a good
barometer and a wind gauge, he can toll
pretty correctly when a. storm is coming
Without the instruments the clouds maybe
watched, and when seen to be moving rap—
idly from the south and there are indicar
tions of the presence I much moisture in
the air, a storm is not far away—Boston
Budget. ‘ ‘
Keen Sight.
Any ‘one who has watched the gulls and
other fish catching birds along our coast can-
not have failed to notice how cunningly they
discover a school of mackerel or porgies long
before a fin has disturbed the surface of the
water. Mr. Stewart, a Scottish naturalist,
recently had an opportunity of putting this
quickness of sight to a. very practical test,
for the edification of a companion who was
somewhat skeptical upon the subject.
The steamer was going very fast in the ra-
pid “race” of a spring tide ebb, something
like twenty miles an hour, and a baker’s
dozen of gulls were following in her wake-—
following easily and lazily, without apparent
effort and with but little beat of wing, cir—
cling and wheeling in graceful curves above
ture of paddles and keel, as they spread in a
broad belt of hissing, gurgling foam astern
of us.
The gulls, we saw, were keenly on the
watch for anything that might be thrown
overboard. Running down into the cabin,
we got a small water biscuit, with which we
returned to the quarter deck, prepared to
overwhelm our skeptical friend with proof
positive and practical that there is perhaps
no other bird of land or sea so keen of sight
as the common gull of our own shores.
Breaking the biscuit into four parts, the
largest of which was less than an inch square,
for it was a very small biscuit, we handed
one of the fragments to our companion, di—
recting him to drop it quietly into the surg-
ing, seething waters just abaft the starboard
paddle wheel. It was of the same color as
the hissing foam into which it was dropped,
and by which, slightly s1: Lnncrged, it was of
course rapidly carried astern.
Once dropped it was utterly invisible to
our eyes; at best, we could only guess its
whereabouts, and yet, before it had fallen
thirty yards astern, a large, black backed
gull, though it must have been somewhat
incommoded at the moment by the steamer’s
smoke, in the center of which it was sailing,
detected the flotsam, and dipping with head-
long dart into the foam, secured itl
With equal dexterity it detected and pick-
ed up the other bits, one by one, as they
were dropped into the sea, venturing at last
so close to the stern of the steamer, that
with its large, bright eye it seemed,_to be
watching all our movements—Youth’s
Companion.
His Ribs Cracked.
A poorly dressed old man was last night
feebly and painfully trying to make his way
down the narrow stairway of the Park
Placeelevated railroad station. He was just
ahead of a crowd of passengers coming out
of a train. Finding the way blocked by the
slow moving old fellow, the impatient people
crowded him aside and squeezed past. As
each one brushed by a deep groan came from
the thin lips, and he held on to the hand rail
to keep from falling. ‘
About half the crowd had passed and no
one seemed to notice him further than to
give him a cold look, when a bright faced,
sympathetic young man took him gently by
the hand and said kindly:
“I see you are in distress; let me assist you
down the stairs.”
With a. grateful look the old man leaned
on the strong arm and was helped down to
the street, a groan and a peculiar scratching
and crackling sound from the old man’s side
accompanying each step.
With tears and in a. weak voice be ex-
plained that he was suffering from two bro-
ken ribs. It was these that in rubbing to-
gether made the peculiar crackling sound and
gave him excruciating pain. He had been
knocked down and stepped on by a horse
somewhere up town during the morning, and
in the confusion of the accident he lost ninety
cents—all the money he had. He had had no
dinner, was hungry, in pain, and wanted to
get to his home in Jersey.
The kind hearted young man listened to
the story and then quietly slipped a. half dol-
lar into the withered hand.
“You can get some one to help you to the
ferry,” he said, and hurried away.
“God bless you! Oh, God bless you,” fer-
vently replied the old man.
But when the Good Samaritan was a half
block away it occurred to him that the man
ought to go to a hospital instead of to Jersey.
So he went back. Just as he was about to
speak another down train came around the
corner. The young man was almost paralyzed
with astonishment to see the old one run to .
the steps and leap up them three at a time!
Then he suddenly realized that the crackle
ribbed old rascal was a fraud and had gone
upto “work" another sympathizer. He let
him go, but is still wondering how the rib
cracking sound was made. —New York Times.

A Grand Cofl‘ee Palace.
The Australians are a go ahead people, and I
Melbourne is no mean city. . A grand coffee
palace has been erected in Melbourne. The
premises were originally licensed for the sale
of intoxicants, but the license was bought up
with the building and extinguished by the
purchasers. The nominal Capital of the com-
pany by which the house is owned is $1,250;
000, of which $300,000 is paid up. There are
359 bedrooms in the house, capable of accom-
modating 500 people, suites of apartments for
families, and all the appliances of a. first class
hotel; and it is a building of this description
in every respect, except that it does not trade
in intoxicating liquors. The new portion of
the palace, which has been added since 1844,
contains 280 bedrooms, and the whole edifice
cost the company a. sum of not less than
$375,000. It is lighted by the electric light,
elegantly fitted, while elevators give commu-
nication with every floor.—New York Mail

A STEAMBOAT STORY.
A THRILLING BOAT RACE ON THE
FATHER 0F WATERS.
Desperate Work of a Reckless Pilot—Risk-
ing the Lives of Hundreds of Passen-
gers—A Great Tragedy Prevented by a
Courageous Captain.
i knew “Capt. Jim Maginnis” and worked
for him—remarked a. mate of the ancient
days—and I once sawhim cool headed and
courageous under the most trying circum-
stances. It was in 1861. The Rose Douglass
the belling waters just escaped from the tor- and Julia. Roan, bOth splendid boats 0f the“
class—stern wheelers, good carriersnnd fast
--—left Little Rock for Memphis within an
hour of each other, the understanding being
that the boat that reached Memphis first
should have a day in the Adams Mail line.
Both boats were loaded with Confederate
soldiers. The trip down the Arkansas was
without special event, except everybody on
both boats learned that a race was on and
naturally took great interest. Both boats
went through the “cut off,” entering the
Mississippi by way of White river. Then the
real race began.
ACROSS HER now.
Just as the Douglass came out of ‘White
river the Roan was straightening out up the
Mississippi. The Douglass had to land, and
the delay gave the Roan about one hour’s
start. it was just a. little after noon. Bill
Reilly was the pilot on the Douglass, Capt.
1 Jim standing one watch himself. Bill was
at the wheel when we started up the MissiSr
sippi, and he said he felt sure of overhauling
and passing the Roan before supper. Andhe
did overhaul her, but he did not past her, for
the simple reason that her pilot—I don’t
know who he was—wouldn’t allow her to be
passed. When we ran up close enough to
make it apparent that we could pass excite-
ment on both boats became intense. The
soldiers especially took a. lively interest. and
those on our boat set up a. cheer.
Those on the other bbat hurled back a yell
of defiance. Less than two miles ahead was
a chute into which only one boat could enter,
and the pilot on the Roan realized that if we
entered the chute first his boat would be
practically out of the race, and they would
have to trail in behind us and run slowly.
He decided on a desperate scheme to prevent
us reaching the chute first. Pulling his
wheel hard down, he turned his boat around
at right angles with the stream and ran
squarely across our bow, passing not ten feet
ahead of us. Reilly saw the danger, and did
just what the Roan’s pilotintendod he should
do—stopped the boat, and backed to avoid a
collision. It was a desperate trick, and
placed several hundred lives in jeopardy, as,
had the Douglass not backed, she must inev-
itably cut the Roan in two amidships, and
both boats would have gone down where the
water was so deep that even the smokestacks
would have been covered. It had the de-
sired result, however. By stopping and
backing we lost time enough to permit the
other boat to get into the chute first.
Reilly was mad, and he let it be known.
The soldiers were mad, and in their page they
hurled curses at the soldiers on the other
boat, who responded with cheers and jeers.
Capt. Jim was asleep. Bill Reilly decided to
stick to the main channel, and not follow the
Roan through the chute. The result was
that we were about five or seven miles be-
hind when we caught sight of the Roan
again.
an was THE COMMANDER.
Meantime watches had changed and Capt.
Jim Was at the wheel. Reilly explained to
him what had occurred and told of the ex-
citement among the soldiers. The Douglass
gradually crawled up on the Roan until
about 10 o’clock, when we Were less than a
mile behind, with the width of the river be-
tween the boats. The Douglass had demon-
strated superior speed, but the Bonn evident-
ly had better water on her side of the river,
with less current to contend with. so that
they were nbOut on equal terms.
Thus they ran along until nearly midnight,
when Reilly again come on watch. Several
times during the night the boats had run
quite close together, and all night excitement
ran high. When Reilly took the wheel Capt.
Jim cautioned him to keep the width of the
river between the boats, if possible, and to
be very careful, and then retired. His wife
was on the boat, and she sat up reading after
the old man went to sleep. About 1:80 o’clock
she heard shouting and cheering, and looking
out saw that the Roan was coming toward our
side of the river. She roused the captain,
and he jumped up and looked out. In an in-
stant he saw that we were nearing another
chute, and the situation was exactly as at the
time the Roan had crossed our bow. With—
out waiting to put on his clothes he sprang on
the guards of the cabin deck, and, catching
hold of the low guard rails of the roof, swung
himself up, and in less time than is required
was standing on the hurricane deck clad only
in his undershirt, draWers and socks. Close
beside him was the captain of the Confederate
troops, while the soldiers completely filled the
upper deck.
It was evident the same dos ate game
was going to be played by the n’s pilot,
and it looked as though Reilly was going to
run her down. Capt. Jim gave the order to
stop and back. At the same instant the Com
tederate captain pulled his revolver and
pointed it at the pilot on the Roan. The
scene was a wild one; all the soldiers on both
boats were yelling and cursing like fiends,
great showers of sparks were pouring from
the chimneys of both boats like fountains of
fire, and the conditions were good for one of
the most sensational tragedies ever enacted.
Capt. Jim was perfectly cool. Seizing the
wrist of the officer with the pistol he jerked
the arm down and shook the revolver from
his grasp. Quick as a. flash another omcer
seized the pistol and pointing it at Reilly,
our own pilot, shouted to him to run her
down, coupled with the throat: “I will blow
your head 03 if you stop this boat.”
Before the words were out of bk mouth
Capt. Jim landed a blow undu- his ear, and
he fell to the deck like a stunned ox. At the
. same time he commanded Reilly to stop her
lnsuch tones that enforced obedience, and
the Roan glided by so closely that her wheel
threw water over our forecastle. Again the
scheme worked, and the Roan got the ad-
vantage of the chute. We went round the
island, but we won the race just the come.
When we reached the head of the chute the
Roanwns nowhere in sight, and we never
did overtake her, which seemed a. little mys-
terious, until she came into Memphis about
fifteenhoursbehind us,nnd we loomed she
hadbeen stuck on a. bar in the chute—St.

‘ Scaled Like a Serpent.
Policeman Edward Dawson, of the Fourth
district, visited the Zoological garden, not to
see the animals, but to seek medical advice.
On Officer Dawson’s hand between the second
and third fingers is a little open wound, no
larger than a pin head, that has remained so
since 1806, when he was bitten by a black
snake in Australia. He wanted to find out
whether the keepers of the Zoo had any par-
ticular specific for the bite of a. snake, and
told a remarkable story.
Dawson passed his boyhood in Berwick
towuship, Gibb’s Land, province of Vic-
toria. Vhen a boy of 15 years, playing in
the bush, he was bitten. He ran home, and
his mother sucked the wound to extract the
venom. His father, who was a high police
official, sent for Professor Halford, of the
Melbourne hospital, who injected ammonia
into the lad’s wrist, and no ill effects innue-
diately followed from the bite.
But for years Dawson has suffered from a
most perplexing malady, which he cannot but
attribute to the snake’s bite. As soon as
spring weather comes the palms of his hands
develop a scaly eruption which looks like the
underpart of a snake‘s body, and a like
trouble appears in streaks on the legs below
theknees and on the feet. The very puncture in
the wrist, where Professor Alford injected the
ammonia, always shows a dark circle around

Fauntleroy and the Cigarettes.
“My child,” said old Lord Fauntleroy to.
little Lord Fauntleroy, as the latter dragged
himself in, looking very pale and weak and
wan, “it grieves me deeply that you have
formed the pernicious habit of smoking cig-
arettes.”
"I haven’t, grandpa; truly, I haven’t.”
“Then why do you carry them in your
pocket?” asked the aged man, as he inserted
two fingers into one pocket of his little lord-
ship’s trousers and drew forth a whole pack—
age.
“Oh, grandpa, I never. knew they were
thcrel That bud little Jimmie Jones must
have put them in my pocket to disgrace me.”
“Yes. Then how is it that your lips and
fingers are stained brown?”
“I‘ve been eating licorice, grandpa.”
“Indeed.e Then how comes it that your
breath smells of tobacco?”
“That had little Jimmie Jones blew a,
wh lot of smoke in my face to make me
sick. ’
“You don’t tell me? Then how do you ex-
plain the fact that I saw you down around
the corner just a little while ago with a cigar-
ette in your month ?”
“Oh, that was because I wanted to show
that bad little Jimmie Jones how nasty it
looks to see little boys with cigarettes in their
months. I have been trying to reform J im-
mie, but he won’t let me. He hates me be-
cause I got a merit card in Sunday school
and he didn't.”
“My angel child, I am glad that I was mis-
taken when I thought you had formed a
filthy, pernicious habit. Don’t have anything
more to do with that wicked Jones boy. He
will contaminate you.”-—Alba.ny Express.
Queer Barometers.
“I can always tell when it is going to rain
half a day ahead of any change in fair
weather,” said Champion George Slosson as
he was knocking around billiard balls in the
Columbia rooms.
“How’s that?" asked a bystander, getting
interested directly.
“Why, there isn’t a better barometer in
existence than an ivory billiard ball or a.
good billiard cue,” the billiard expert replied;
“they are better than a favorite corn."
“How d’ye tell?”
“A ball always rolls slow and with diffi-
culty over the cloth when it is going to rain.
Ivory is so sensitive to changes of tempera-
ture, particularly from dry to moist, that
the effect is felt almost instantaneously. The
one will get cranky, too, when there is going
to be a change, long before the dampness is
perceptible in any other way. Another pe-
.culiarity of the ivory globes is their tendency
to become egg shaped. They contract at
what are called the top and bottom poles and
swell out at the sides, so that you might as
well play with potatoes, if you don’t watch
their idiosyncrasies. They are worse than
old men in their susceptibility to draught. A
draught will crack the ivory and make it
chip off quick as a wink, and, like old folks,
you can never get the spheres acclimated to
these draughts. Just take a. billiard ball and
study its behavior, and you can beat the
clerk of the weather prophesying. You can
bet on your own prophecy every time.”—

New Decorative Efl‘ects in \Vood.
.A new process of art decoration in wood,
which is said to produce very beautiful ef-
fects, is described in The London Times. It
is a German invention, and is known as the
Dalura. procem. It consists in impressing
upon wood any kind of art designs, which
stand out in relief. The impression is pro-
duced by a. small machine having two hori-
zontal steel rollers which are heated internal-

roller, and can be changed for a. different de-
sign whencver desired; the bottom roller is

slowly revolved. and the wood to be orna-
mented is passed between them under pres-
sure. The surface of the wood is compressed,
and the design transferred to it invarious
degrees of relief, according to the require-
ments of thecaw. By regulating the heat
and speed of working a rich brown tint of
any shade can be imparted to the wood as a.
background, the design standing out in the
natural color of the wood, but slightly toned
here and there. The natural grainof the
wood is also brought out, and any kind of
wood can be used. It is claimed for the doc-
orated wood that it is waterproof, and that
the pattern is not distorted nor its sharpness
destroyed by moisture. This was shown by
some samples of wood treated by the process,
with, it is stated,ha.d been in water for
some days.

nation of remedies, for Headache, known as Briggs’ Headache Trochesz The remedy cures
more headaches, especially such as effect Nervous Women than anything I am acquainted
