SOM E DAY.
You smooth the tangles from my hair,
With gentle touch and tenderest care,
And count the years ere you shall mark
Bright silver threads among the dark-
Smiling the while to hear me say:
“You‘ll think of this again some day!“
Some day:
I do not scorn the power of time,
Nor count on years of fadeless prime;
But no white gleams will ever shine
Among those heavy locks of mine.
Ah, laugh as gayly as you may,
You’ll think of this again some day-
Some day:
Some day I shall not feel. asnow.
Your soft hands move about my brow:
I shall not wait for light commands,
' And draw your tresses through my hands:
But you will see no touch of gray
And yon—you will not laugh some day—
Some day!
And while your tears are falling hot
Upon the lips which answer not,
You‘ll take from these one treasured tress,
And leave the rest to silentness,
Remembering that [ used to say:
“You‘ll think of this again some day"—
Some day! _.. ,

Timing the Preachers. _
I know a man here who, before he got fa-
mous and came to Washington, lived in a lit-
tle town in the west. There was but one
church in the town, that Methodist. and they
ueede-l no- other, for they were all of that
simple faith. My distinguished friend was
a superintendent of the Sunday school in
those days. He went to Sunday school in
the morning and to church twice a day each
Sabbath. When he came to the national
capital his duties occupied much of ' his time.
Even Sundays became not his own. From
going to church twice a day‘he got to going
but once. But even this took up more of his
time than he could spare. He .timed the
preacher at the church he had select-ed to at-
tend, and found that his sermons were sixty-
five minutes long.
He decided on the spot that he would have
to find a preacher who could have his say in
less time. Then he began to look up sucha
man in the Methodist denomination.- He
timed the sermons in the various Methodist
churches. The shortest he found was fifty
minutes long. That would not do, so be de-
cided to try the Presbyterian churches. The
shortest sermon he found there was forty-
seven minutes. The Baptists were next tried.
There he got down to forty-five minutes. In
the Episcopal diocese he found some sermons
that were short enough, but the service took
up enough time to more than make up the
difference. 80 he went around to the
churches of about all denominations except
the Catholic, until in a Congregationalist
church he 'fOund a minister who uniformly
occupied but thirty-five minutes with his
sermon. Whether he is asleep or awake,
now, he can always tell to the minute when
the preacher’s time is up.—-—IVashington Cor.

Painted Houses the Healthiest.
Statistics show that people live longer in a
brick house than in stone, and that wooden
houses are the healthiest. This suggests the
idea of using paint on masonry. An authority
states that 101) years ago it was fashionable to
paint brick buildings white, and many
charming structures remain to attest the
value of a coat of paint in preserving the ma-
sonry, and its pleasant, home like effect is a
foil to the vines and shrubs with which even
city houses are now commonly adorned. If
it should prove. as might be easily ascer-
tained, that the painted brick houses pre-
serve their inhabitants more effectually from
sickness and premature death than the un-
painted oues, it would be worth while to re-
vive the ancient fashion, and, with our
greater resources in the way of materials and
ideas, exterior colorings might become as im-
portant an accessory to the architecture of
the Twentieth century as it was to that of
the Twelfth or Thirteenth—New York Star.
A Dangerous Proceeding.
The Listener has in times past had some-
thing to say about the temerity of telegraph
and telephone linemen, and of artisans who
work in the top stories of high buildings.
These people are not reckless, but they run
great risks. 01" pure recklessness, however,
I saw an instance the other day that it would
be hard to beat. A farmer was driving a
load of hay into town, and was solacing him-
self with a. cigar on top of the load. There
he reclined, amid the dry hay, puffing away
as complacently as if he were in a fire proof
smoking room. As there have been no hay
cart fires reported, the farmer presumably
, delivered his load in good condition; but
'j viewmg him from a common sense stand-
" point, his performance with the cigar was
; utterly reckless and foolhardy.
A stray
' spark would have set the entire load into a
x
l
blaze, and perhaps the confiagration would
have roasted the driver before he could get
off of his perch—St. Paul Pioneer Press.
Almost Done.
A country editor, who was not supposed to
be rich, built himself a modest cottage. The
neighbors were all interested, and naturally
made frequent inquiries as to how the build‘
ing was progressing.
The editor finally tired of being asked
whether the plastering was dry yet, whether
he expected to move in this week, etc.. etc.
As he expressed it, he could not appear in
the street without somebody’s inquiring:
“How’s the house getting along?”
One day he was quite out of patience, and
just then a subscriber asked: “Well, Mr.
Barnes, have you moved into your new house
yet?” ‘ In
“We began this morning.” answered the
editor; “I carried over achair and a salt-
cellar and left the dog in the yard.”
“Well, well,” said the subscriber, “moving
is bad business; I’m glad you’ve got so near
through with it.”—Youth’s Companion.
Modest Benevolence.
Two very pretty girls in this town recently
attended service in a church where they were
strangers. When the time came for taking
up the collection they found to their dismay
that they had but one cent between them.
And there. coming up their side of the aisle
with the plate, was a lovely young man with
whom they were slightly acquainted. They
imply couldn’t put that solitary cent in the
1 late, and to put in nothing was not to be
bought of. Then one of the girls bethought
" 'er that she had a small envelope in her
Jocket. She pulled it out, dropped the coin
n it, scaled it, and when the lovely young
an came along she drOpped the envelope in
-ith an air that made the collector think it
ontained at the very least a $5 note—Buf-

Expenses of Crime.
It is estimated that the expense of main-
aining the prisons of the United States
mounts to $75,000,000 a year; but this is
nly a small part of the cost entailed upon
he people at large by the existence of the
riminal class. The maintenance of the police
'epartments, it is calculated, c'osts another

THEY ARE PRODUCED.
Making Objects of Art Out of Slices of
Stone— How the Labor II Divided.
Where and How the Materials, Are 'Ob-
tamed—4A Royal Monopoly {M250 Years.
In continuation of the description we gave
the other day, from Sir D. E. Colnaghi’s re-
port, we give] some interesting facts about
Florentine mosaics—the “objects of art" at
which nearly every visitor brings'back
specimen: '
The proper technical term for the so called
Florentine mosaics is works in “commune.”
They are composed of delicateslices of stones,
together (“commessi”) with a fine cement,
and then fitted into a thin slab of marble.
The pictures are produced by the natural
tints of the stones, the selection of which, to
carry out any given design, demands grea
taste and skill. .
.3. DETAILS OF THE'WOBK.
After the design had been prepared the thin
slices of stone selected for the various parts
are distributed among a certain number of
workmen, each of ,whom completes-the pork
tion of the design intrusted to him, the whole
subject being substantially united. The
stones, after being cut. into the required
shapes, are carefully set together with a ce-
ment made of wax and mastic (“pece green”),
- heat being used to bind them together. Slate
is employed to support the work during its
, progress, and to line it when, complete. At
each stage-the first lining'afiixed to the separ-
ate parts is ground down, and a fresh one ap-
plied. so that an even surface may always be
scoured. When, finally. the complete design
reception, the whole of the base is again
ground down to a perfect plane, and is lined
with a fresh backing of slate. The fitting is
performed with the greatest care, the edges
of the several parts being filed until the exact
dimensions have been attained. The whole
surface is afterward polished, so that the
lines of juncture are rendered almost invis-
ible. To bind on the lining heat is used, as
also for uniting the smaller pieces. The opera-
tion is very carefully performed, so that no
more cement than is absolutely required
should remain between the parts that have
been joined together. , '
The first operation of sawing the stones
into thin slices, from 2% to 3 millimeters in
thickness, is performed by means of thin
lades of iron or copper, emery powder giv—
ing the required friction. The slices are fur-
ther sewn into the shapes required to form
the various parts cf the design by iron or
copper wire attached to bows, and always
with the aid of emery. The finest emery
powder (“poltiglia”) is used for polishing the
surface of the stones, and emery is employed
for grinding down the linings. For this pur-
pose the work is placed on afixed slab of
marble or slate, iron plates of various sizes
and thickness, according to the dimensions of
the slab, and having wooden handles, being
steadily worked over it by one or two men,
as required.
To provide stones for the works in real
“pietre dure,” Europe, Asia and the north of
and the Royal factory possesses a large col-
lection of stones, valued at some 20,000 lire.
Among the principal stones employed are
’amethyst’s, agates, the sardonyx and chalce-
dony, flints, many varieties of jasper, peb-
bles from the Arno (which generally contain
a large proportion of lime), and petrified
woods. Among the rocks, which are chiefly
used for works of decoration, are red ori-
ental. Egyptian and other granites. verde di
Corsica, labradorite, oligoclase (lately intro-
duced), antique porphyry, green porphyry,
oriental serpentine. jade basalt. silicious
breccia and lapis lazuli. Black marble from
Belgium is largely used as a foundation, and
slate, as has already been mentioned. is em-
ployed as a lining for works in “commesso.”
The hardness of the materials employed, re-
quiring patience to work them, accounts for
the costliness of works in “pietre dure,” of
which 75 to 80 per cent. is attributed to
labor.
THE MOSAICISTS.
The outfit of n Ill<l>iliClSt is very simple.
With a small table. a basin of water, a bra-
zler, a vice, some copper and iron blades to
be used as files. a bow strung with iron wire,
a little emery powder and a few stones al-
ready cut into slices. which cost only a few
francs, his equipment is complete. It is not
astonishing, therefore, that, on the industry
being popularized, it should have been at-
tractive, and. at one time, the number of
persons engaged in it was calculated at 1,000.
The youths who i utend to become mosaicists
are generally members of peasant or artisan
families residing near Florence, and they are
entirely without previous culture. As many
of them never learn to draw. the designs for
l w works are made by special draughtsmen.

her do not exceed eight daily in winter and
ten in summer. The rates of wages are gen-
erally calculated by piece work. The earn-
ings of the artisans who work in their own
homes are very uncertain and do not average
three lire or francs per diem.
Although artists in mosaic had been em-
ployed by Duke Cosmo de Medici in previous
years, the foundation of the royal factory of
“pietre dure” in Florence may, perhaps, be
considered to date from about the year 1574,
when some rooms in the Casino di San Marco
were assigned for the residence of the masters
of the art. The permanent establishment
dates, however, from September, 1588,,when
the artists, by order of the Grand Duke Fer-
dinand I, were transferred to the Uflizi. Here
the factory remained until 1796, in which
year it was removed to the suppressed con-
vent of S. Niccolo, in the present Via Ricasoli,
where it still exists, though transferred to a
different part of the building, with entrance
on the Via degli Alfani. For about two cen-
turies and a half the production of the Floren-
tine mosaics had remained a monopoly of the
royal factory; it was not till 1825 that Signor
Gaetano Bianchini commenced the industrial
application of the art to small articles of
jewelry and ornaments. The art seems to
have flourished in Florence from the date of
its introduction. It has been doubm whether
the introduction of thevartv of working in mo-
saic into Florence, under the patronage of the
grand duke of the house of Medici, is due to
Tuscan or Lombard artists, as it would ap-
pear to have flourished contemporaneously in
both regions. While, however, it has died
out, or nearly so, in Lombardy, it has sur-
vived in Tuscany to become an important
branch of Florentine industry.—Pall Mall

ASLEEP ’AT‘ ,THE BRAKE.
Street Car Driver: Who Succumb to Hard
‘ Work and Mouotony.
“Some people don’t think that this is hard
work,” said a middle aged car driver to a
young policeman who had . just swung him-
self upon the front platform of a car upon
which I was enjoying a smoke. The police-
man laughed derisively, for he had “bin
thai‘” himself. .
' “It’s ' everlasting hard on your feet on a
car platform, and it’s pretty near as bad on
patrol duty,” said be. “There’s a little more
variety about it for the officer, for he tramps
awhile and then he can stand still awhile, and
sometimes, if the roundsman ain’t around,
sit down, or at least lean against something.
.But on a car one is standing up right along,
and I tell you it’s terrible hard on the feet.”
__ “Yes,” chimed in the driver, as he put the
brake on hard and stopped his vehicle to per—
mit an aged negress with a basket to come
aboard. “It’s blamed hard on the feet and
on the chest, and the back, too. Many a time
my chest has been as sore as my feet. The
brake strains 8, fellow’s arms and shoulders,
and the reins are pulling on him all the time,
’specially in slippery weather. And Lord,
how tired one does get of itl”
‘ “Tired! Well I should smile,” said the ex-
driver in uniform. “Why, there’s lots of
fellows in the business that goes right dead
ofl’ to sleep while they’re driving. I remem-
ber 11 driver on the same line that I used to
work for who got in the way of going to
sleep regular on his last trip. He got sus-
pended for it several times, and at last one
day he run into a wagon and smashed the
splasliboard in. ’Twas a terrible jolt, and
,when'he woke up and saw what he’d done he
just quit work right oil“. He would have been
fired anyhow, I guess. Now he’s a night
watChfnan and says he can’t get tired enough
to sleep.”
“It’s the monotony that makes a man tired,
as much as the hard work,” said the driver
as the policeman alighted at the corner of a
street, and the car whirled around another
corner out of the electric glare and into the
Semi-glare. of a side street. “Yes, it’s true
enough about men going to sleep while
they’re driving. IVe work about ten hours
on end now, and when we’re through I tell
you a man don’t feel fit for much. But as for
sleeping, why there used to- be an old chap
that worked on an east side down town line
that runs all night. He had a night car, and
he went to sleep just as soon as he came to
work. He’d put on the brake and stop or
start his car according to the bell, and do al—
most everything necessary while he was a—
snoring like a fog horn. Passengers used to
be quite scared at the noise he’d make, and
his conductor got so tired of going on the
front platform to wake him up that he told a
‘spotter’ about it. Don’t the ‘spotters’ ever
get on to men sleeping? Why, no, not at night,
good asleep as awake. He never ran into
would slack up, and when. he felt the reins
loose I suppose he put on his brake out of in-
stinct. I remember one night 'I was off duty
and I boarded his car. I rode about twenty
blocks with him snoring away, and he stopped
four or five times to take on or drop passen-
gers, but he never woke up. Then all at
once a fire engine came galloping down the
avenue like mad. I was just going to grab
the reins myself and hold the horses straight
when the old chap woke up and put on his
brake. The engine dashed passed, bell clung—
ing and men a-hollering, and when it had
passed he sat down again—they allowed ’em
to use a seat on the night cars—and went oil’
to sleep without ever noticing me. I shook
him by the shoulder and he opened his eyes
and says be, ‘Why. Bill, where did you come
from?’ He never knew I’d boarded the car,
although I’d stood by him for twenty bldcks."

John Boyle O’Reilly was born at Dowth
Castle, County Meath, Ireland. He is 45
years of age, medium height, athletic build,
large eyes and a massive forehead. He looks
to be 30. He is a great boxer, wrestler and
canoeist. He has a delightful schoolboy smile,
and his laugh is contagious. O’Reilly began
life on The Drogheda Argus while yet in his
teens. At the age of 18 he enlisted as a troop-
er in the Tenth hussars, otherwise known as
the Prince of Wales’ Own. While there he
became an apostle of revolutionary doctrines,
was arrested for high treason, and in June,
1866, was sentenced to twenty years’ penal
servitude. He was confined in various Eng-
lish prisons until October, 1877, when he,
with several other political convicts, was
transported to finish his sentence in the penal
colonies of lVest Australia. After enduring
prison life there. for about a year, he made
his escape in an open boat, was picked up at
sea by the American whaling bark Gazelle,
and finally reached Philadelphia in Novem-
ber, 1869.—Current Literature.

and about 800 dialects spoken by the Ameri-
can Indians, the sign language is equally
understood by all the tribes. Chief Natchez,
of the Piute tribe, is an adept in the sign
language. In Washington city some years
ago he held‘ 'a consultation by signs with the
best experts, in which he gave an account of
the troubles existing at that time with some
bands of renegade Indians up near the ore-
camp of the hostiles. Natchez enjoys the al-
most solitary honor of having had his talk
published in the government reports onthese
matters, with a full explanation of every sign
he used in conveying the intelligencessought

Among the guests at an old lady’s recent
birthday party was her son. As the old
lady was celebrating her centennial and the
son was 80 years old they made a remarka-
ble couple. The mother, in spite of her
years, was so strong and vigorous, both men-
tally and physically, that it seemed almost
incredible that she had rounded out a full
century of existence, and her son had been
absent from her for several years. The
meeting between them had been very aflfec-
tionate, and they had remained close to each
other during the son’s stay. When the time
came for him to go be embraced his mother,
saying wistfully, “Well, mother, I suppose
this is the last time Ishall ever see you:”
The mother looked up quickly and aston-
ished. “Why, dear, what’s the matter?” she
asked. “Don’t you feel well?”—'-Boston Ad-

This is to certify that I have used for some months with much satisfaction, the combi-
nation of remedies, for Headache, known as Briggs’ Headache Troches.
The remedy cures
more headaches, especially such as efiect Nervous Women than anything I am acquainted
with, and if this certificate will be the means of bringing it to the favorable attention of
sufferers from
that trouble, I shall feel that I have done them a service.
