Woman claims her own. Her field widens constantly. Every day brightens her prospects. Her progress foreshadows the greater triumph at hand. Emancipation and equality will be hers in the years to come.

What is humanity? The pitying touch Of love above the sufferer's couch of pain, That brings surcease to him who needs it much
And dries the teardrops falling dpwn like rain That holds o'er grief its soothing ministry—
That is humanity.
What is humanity? No narrow creed, No bigot's rule that craves for paltry power, No color line beyond our daily iieed.
It never locks but to the present- hour. One God to love, cac-h slavish bond to freeThat is humanity.
What is humanity? The outstretched hand And open heart, the sympathetic mind That shares our sorrows and can understand
The wants and wishes of poor humankind That asks no gifts but clearer eyes to see— That is humanity.
What is humanity? Each noble thought j' That lifts us upward unto God and man7 A holy fellowship by suffering brought
Into communion with the great and grand— A love so broad it reaches you and me— 7
That is humanity. —Moses Gage Shirley.
Such a Fool.
I'm buch a fool!
I would not give the joy I have isf In woodland flower or frond of fern wrf For all the treasures wealth can give
Or all the vassals earn. Wealth cannot purchase simple tastes And toil that em'11s the treasure wastes.
I'm such a fool!
I cannot se how prule of birth Or pride of beauty gives surcease Of anguish for a wasted life,
Or for heart breaking, peace. Give me the grace, humility, Joined with laith, hope and charity.
I'm such a fool!
I would not {jive my simple trusl In human love, though oft betrayed, And faith in God's eternal good,
Though often long delayed, For all the creeds to churchmen known Or books though writ on leaves of stone.
I'm such a fool!
I cannot think that God would make One creature born to endless pain, That sorrow can give joy to him,
And creature loss bring gam. I only know I would not care To breathe to such a God a prayer.
I'm such a fool!
I cannot ask the joys of vtcn If one poor soul be barred without. My sins are scarlet, and if shriven
I still should hold in doubt The power that shrives, if I should know He leaves a soul to writhe in woe
And saves a fool!
Unwasted Days.
The longer on this earth we live And weigh the various qualities of men, Seeing how most are fugitive Or fitful gifts at best, of now and then, Wind wavered corpse lights, daughters of the fen, The more we feel the high, stern featured beauty Of plain devotedness to duty, Steadfast and still, nor paid with mortal praise, But finding amplest- recompense For life's ungarlanded expense In work done squarely and unwasted days. —Lowell.
Life.
Life, like a marble block, is given to all, A blank, inchoate mass of years and days, Whence one with ardent chisel swift essays Some shape of strength or symmetry to call. One shatters it in bits to mend a wall. One in a craftier hand the chisel lays, And one to wake the mirth in Lesbia's gaze Carves it apace in toys fantastical.
But least is he who, with enchanted eyes Filled with high visions of fair shapes to be, Muses which god he shall mortalize In the proud Parian's perpetuity Till twilight warns him trom the punctual skies That the night comcth wherein none shall see.
BANDAGED THE WRONG ARM.
One of Many Excuses For Absence That Were Promptly Rejected.
Railroaders admire tho "block nystem." Telegraphers djo not. Day after day and week after \voek, lounging around tho Western Union building, at tho corner of Dey street and Broadway, aro to bo found a number of seedy looking men—telegraph operators
"011
tho block."
Probably every man on the "block" has been repeatedly "letout" (dismissed) for tlio selfsame offense and as often reinstated after making the atmosphere blue with lamentations and armor plated resolutions.
It takes a telegrapher to spring a "tale of woe" upon an unsuspecting and guileless manager.
For instance: Jack who disappeared from the public gaze one fine morning, toed tho mark a fortnight later, looking considerably the worse for wear. Around his arm he woro a pieco of thick black crape, indicative of deep mourning. "Oh, how d'ye do, Mr. quoth tho manager. "No family trouble, I hopo?" "Poor littlo Tommy's gone, sir," replied Jack, with a pardonable tremor in his manly voice. "Dear, dear, no wonder you didn't feel like working! Poor Tommy! Lot mo see—a littlo fellow about fi years old, with a pug nose and red hair?" "Noso slightly retrousso, sir, and hair of auburn liuo,'' corrected tho fond parent. "Just so, tho only child, eh?" "Tho only one, sir. "Very sad! And how does Mrs. tear up?'' "In bed for over a week past, sir. "How many wives do you happen to possess, Mr. (J "Ono wife, sir." "I see. Well, yonr oho wife and littlo Tommy, French noso and banana ringlets all complete, were both hero not moro than an hour ago inquiring very anxiously after your health said tlioy hadn't clapped eyes on you for tho last ten days! Did they strew many flowers on poor little Tommy's grave, Mr.
This last crusher was too much, and ns tho bereaved father carefully and deliberately chalked a beo lino in the direction of tho elevator tho look which stolo into his blue eyes was of such a faraway nature that not even the fringe of it could havo been detected through a Lick tolescope.
Walter Q-—— took a three woeks' "vacation, and as he braced himself up to face tho orchestra on his return the "boys" noticed that ho carried his left arm in a sling. "Fine morning, Mr. said the manager, opening the attaok "nothing serious, I^ust?''

"Oh, nothing to speak of, sir!" replied Walter, carefully adjusting his most conciliatory smile. "Runaway horse that's all, sir." 'And you stopped tho horso and doubtless saved somo valuable life?". "I did, sir, and havo been unable to hold a pen for the last two weeks!" "Heroic, but rash—decidedly rash. By tho way, which hand do you happen to uso in writing, Mr. "Tho right hand, sir." "Ah, I thought sc! I am of opinion that two weoks' additional rest will about fix up your left arm, Mr. Good morning!"
Tho poor fellow had tied up the wrong arm.—New York World.
Carpet Weaving.
It was in Franco that tho first serious effort was made to establish tho manufacture of carpets in the fashion of the orient. This was in tho reign of Louis XIV and under tho direction of his Minister Colbert. Tho royal manufactories wero designed to furnish all manner of furniture, and in the Gobelins and Beauvais factories 250
master -weavers
wove rich tapestries. During tho revolution of 1789 theso factories woro almost suppressed, but Napoleon I revived tho manufactories and furnished his palaces with their loom work. Tho national workshops of France still continue, and tho woven stuffs of Gobelins, Beauvais and tho Savonnorio aro accounted among tho finest in Europe.
Tlio knowledgoof carpet weaving was presumably introduced into England from France. During tlio persecution of tho Huguenots tho carpet weavers, with othor artistic craftsmen, fled for rofugo to England and established themsolves in various towns. Axminster, in Dovonehiro, was ono of theso, and also tho town of Wilton. Theso placos retained their supremacy for a long time, but with tho introduction of tlio Jacquard loom and various improved processes of manufacture tlio industry was successfully developed in Kiddorininster, Durham, Kilmarnock and Glasgow.—Good Words.
