The blue gray eyes still smiled their greeting across a row of scarlet geraniums o the woman behind the car window, c Ito, after the train had swept round the curve, would lean back halt wearily and weave romances of the life behind the white curtains and crimson blossoms. She could see the English husband coming in from his work. He would be strong and straight and young of course, very gentle and tender with the girl who had cfeme to him from across the seas. Wherefore the happy lovelight in the blue gray eyes if all these things were not so? Then a frugal supper, smoking hot, would be placed on the table. The teapot would be of brown and yellow stone, like the one at the farm. But the woman who writes never mounted the narrow stairs leading to the tenement room. She had been disillusionized so often. One morning in early spring she caught her breath as the train slowed up before the window. No face peered between the ruffled curtains. A friendly hand bad bowed the shutters to the glaring sunlight. That afternoon she hurried to a shop where all sorts of dainty baby garments are sold. When she had selected a piece of flannel richly embroidered and a robe of sheer linen, edged with filmy lace, she actually felt angry at the careless fashion iu which the clerk tossed the small garments to the wrapper. It seemed almost like a desecration. As she carried her package to the waiting hansom she said to herself: "It is perfectly absurd, considering their station in life. But how her eyes will shine!” She could not send her gift, for she knew neither name nor exact address, but she waited and watched. At last one morning the shutters were thrown back, and in a high backed rocking chair, close to the window, sat the little English wife, her blue gray eyes shining proudly above a long roll of white flannel, topped by a very small and very red face. Then the woman who writes did a re markable thing. She took deliberate, careful aim and tossed into the tenement window a bulky, oblong package. For more than a week she had carried that package back and forth every day, waiting for this very opportunity, and yet her arms felt strangely empty. All day long between the woman who writes and her work came the proud mother light in those blue gray eyes. Wherever she turned it haunted her till her pen lost its cunning and her heartstrings thrilled witli a vague longing ami unrest. When night came to her brilliantly lighted parlors, where clever men and women gathered to laugh at her witty sayings and to drink the punch she brewed with cunning hand, she was the gayest of them all. Never had she

looked more queenly in her clinging gown of scintillating Jet; never had the clever words come so easily to her smiling lips, she would forget It all — the narrow, pinching life in the tenement, the red geraniums, the ruffled curtains—ves, even that tantalizing mother love in the other woman’s eyes, but when they had all gone, the men '' io admired her and the women who feared her, the memory of the blue gray eyes came back with insistent strength. She turned out the lights leaving only the dull crimson glow from the tulip shaped lamp, and under that she sat long and silently, her broad, white forehead resting on her jeweled hand. When she rose, a pink flush was creeping over the pearl gray heavens. 1 he other woman was doubtless awake, too. intent on her husband's early breakfast. The woman who writes glanced round the room. Here were drooping roses, there three or four empty punch glasses and yonder a small bronze tray piled high with dull white ashes. Then she crossed to her desk and wrote: My Dear Robert—lt has all been a wretched mistake, this thinking that we could get along without each other 1 have been a little slow In finding it out, hut now I am sure. Do not think I have scored a failure and then have turned to you. My work never looked so promising; but. oh, the emptiness of It all! You said once 1 must come to you. Well. 1 am coming, dear—coming because 1 can’t stay away any longer. I am writing to mother to send Rob—your Rob and mine. Just think! I've not seen him for six months, and you've not seen him, oh, it ■must seem like years. I've been selfish, Robert, but 1 never saw it that way—until today. Cable me ji*st one word—“Come.’’ I will understand. Yours. EMILY. She addressed the letter with a feverish hand to Paris. When she threw open the window, she saw a workingman in overalls and blouse hurrying toward the city. Perhaps the little Englishwoman was standing in her doorway watching her stalwart husband off to work, with his kisses fresh on her lips and her babe cradled in her arms. And on the lips of the woman who writes trembled a Lap py smile. Some Price® In ISIS. From an old journal that was kept in 1815 by a merchant of Oswego it would appear that it cost the citizens of that city something to live in those days. Anthracite coal was unknown, and for illuminating purposes candles and whale oil were used. Salt in those days was as much a necessity us now. but it cost $1.25 per bushel, or $5.38 per barrel. Whisky was worth $1 a gallon, rum $2 75 per gallon, tea $2 a pound, corn $1 a bushel, tobacco 44 cents a pound, sugar 2G cents per pound, loaf sugar 31 cents a pound, cambric $1 a yard, dimity $1 per yard, molasses $1.44 per gallon, raisins 50 cents per pound, shirting 38 cents per yard, potatoes 44 cents per bushel, rye and wheat $1.50 per bushel, red flannel 88 cents per yard, oil $1 per gallon. The drinker and the smoker had a good time in those early days, and the family man had it not nearly so good. Now, happily, whisky and tobacco cost more and necessaries cost very, very much less. Dress goods and foods can now lie used freely by those who, if living in 1815, would have had a calico dress once in several years and had sugar but very seldom. The “old days" were not as good as these.—Retail Grocers' Advocate. Convict Power, In one of the convict camps of New Caledonia timber is brought down from the bills to the sea by means of an odd railway. When Mr. George Griffith visited Prony on bis tour of prison inspection, he was invited to enter the state car of this railway. There was no engine, but fifteen blue clad figures, each with a halter and hook rope over his shoulder, came from one of the dormitories. A long chain was shackled to the front of the car. The human beasts of draft passed the baiters over their heads and hooked to the chain, seven on each side and one ahead. At first the line was almost level, but when we got into the bills came the collar work, and our human cattle bent their necks and backs. For very shame's sake we got off and walked whenever there was an excuse, and at last, to our infinite relief, the journey was over. In a distance of a little over four miles those straining, panting men bad dragged us up 1,500 feet. It took an hour and three-quar-ters to do it. A Breach of Etiquette. In Holland a woman Is a secondary consideration, and a poor consideration at that. No Dutch gentleman when walking on the sidewalk will move out of his way for a lady. The latter turns out invariably, however muddy or dangerous the street. Ladies very rarely make any requests of the lords of creation. An American woman asked a Holland gentleman nt a party to bring her a certain book from a table. The bewildered stare with which he favored tier convinced her that she lind committed a conventional offense. He brought the book, but quietly informed her that a Hollander would never have asked such a favor. Improve. It Is a solemn duty devolving on all to make the utmost possible out of themselves. Mon seek the highest development of their flocks and herds mid grain and flowers.

Ills Portrait. One of the members of n certain suburban photographic society recently delivered a lecture, illustrated by lantern views. Another member, thinking to have a joke at the expense of the lecturer, slipped in among the slides a lantern portrait of himself. The joke would come in, of course, by the portrait appearing on the screen immediately after the lecturer had announced the appearing of something quite different. Fate and chance were unluckily against the humorist, for when his portrait was presented tlie lecturer, without knowing what was on the screen, gravely read from ills list: "The next slide, ladies and gentlemen, is the picture of a refractory donkey !” MlnncN<>in*N Nickname*. Minnesota has been designated ns the "North Star State,” of which expression two or three explanations have been given—one on account of Its geographical position, another Hint the north star appears In its coat of arms. It has also been called the “Lake State,” from the number of small lakes within its limits, and the "Gopher State," because the early settlers found these animals In such abundance that they proved n serious nuisance. Even a careful rider passing over a plain where gophers abounded was In danger of being thrown by his horse accidentally stepping into a gopher hole. A Knockout. A young lawyer was engaged In a case not long ago when a witness was put in the box to testify to the reputation of the place in question. This witness, a stage driver, iu answer to a query as to the reputation of the place, replied, “A poor shop.” The lawyer inquired, “You say it has the reputation of being u 'poor shop?' ” "Yes, sir.” "Whom did you hear say it was a ‘poor shop?' ” The witness did not recollect any one lie hnd heard say so. "What!" said the lawyer. "You have sworn this place has the reputation of being a poor shop and yet cannot tell of any one you have ever heard suy so?" The witness was staggered for a moment at the words of the lawyer. The lawyer was feeling triumphant when the witness gathered himself together and quietly remarked, addressing the lawyer: “Well, ->ou have the reputation of being a poor lawyer, but I have never heard any one say so."
