I might begin, "The rose Is red" (ThouRh that la not so very new), r this the boys all think ia good : "If you love me as I love you." But, seems to me, a valentine Is nicer when you do not say The same old things that every one Keeps saying in the same old way. And I asked Jane the other tljht What fcTown-up people write about. 8be would not answer me at first. But lauded till I began to pout. Tliat stopped her, for she saw I meant The question (and she will not tease). "Why love." she said, "and shining eye. A kiss, soft hair just what they pleas." It can't be hard, if that Is all, So I'll begin by saying this: "To my dear lady beautiful. Send a valentine and kiss. The valentine, because she has The loveliest hair and gentlest eyes; Foe kiss, because 1 love her m.re Tnan any one beneath the skies; . Because she is the kindest, best. The sweetest lady ever known ; And every year I'll say the same. The very same, to bet her alone!" Therei Now it's finished. Who will do? I've though t of one and then another, Who is there like it? Why, oi course, I'll send it riht away to mother! .-St. Nicholas. Sponges aro cultivated at Cedar Keya, Florida. A lady, when admiring the stars on a lTlht night in a tropical climate, was suddenly asked m the most innocent way by her little bod of five years old if those were the naila th.it held up Heaven. On of the greatest wonders In Barnum's Menagerie is the baby elephant, born Feb 3. It is 2 J feet high, weighs 143 pounds, is named America, and is insured for $000,000. Thie is the second elephant born in this country. Owe hundred and twenty-five years ae;o John Adams, school teacher afterward President sat ia his chamber at "Worcester and -wrote: "I Lave no boots, no time, no friends. I must therefore be contented to live and die au obscure, ignorant fellow." Why te encouraged ! In 1870, Dakota was an uninhabited wildexiw?. In the southeastern corner of the vast Territory, covering an area of 151 ,000 square mike, was a. email but thrivicg population; and these, with scattered residents over the rest of the Territory, made up a total little exceeding 14,000 soub. Daring the rast ten yeara that great agnt of civilization and emigration, the railroad, has entered the Territory. Twelve hundred miles of railroad have been built, and the Territory has been traversed from east to west. The effect is marvellous, i he largest County in 1870 had only 3,500 inhabitants, and there are now eleven Counties with more than 5,000 each. The whole population of the Territory is probably not less than l-SO.000. Another little teleeraph operator ha3 been found in Brown County, Texas. This time it is a little girl, Ilallio Hutchinson, nine years of age. It is ?aid that "she handlws her iLf.truro.ent with" the success and precision of an old operator. Recently, when election returns were coming in and the whole country was wildly excited to know the result, little Hsllie sat at her in etrument, her eyes aglow with intelligence, and gathered in the news from all over the Union, while dozens of brawny men crowded around to hear what the lightning brouzbt, and to admiro the wonderful skill of the little operator. While controlling the wires as she does, Ilallie is not unlike other little girls of her age in her habits and intimations. For instance, one end of her operating table is piled full of baby dolls, and she spends a great deal of her leisure time dressing and nursing them." The late Dr. William Arnot, of Scotland, was noted for broad and accurate knowledge of the BiDle, and for a ready wit, equal to every emergency. He was the youngest child in a large Scotch family, ana having a weak bdy with an alert tongue, was aften imposed on by his older brothers and sisters. In contests with the toDgue he was pretty are of a victory, but stood no chance of success ia rougher squabbles. After a brief absence from home, the father called the children to give an account of their behavior. They all turned on William, and told hard stories about him, each one putting on an extra touch and making him out a mischiefmaker. Many of their tales were manufactured out ot whole cloth, and William listened with wonder. At length the father tamed to him, and said, "Well, ' William, what have you to say to all this?" and oonld hardly keep his face when the little fellow replied, "Blessed are ye when allien shall revile and persecute you." The aptness of the reply atoned in part for an irreverent use of Scripture, and the father tame into full sympathy with, the persecuted toy. Valentine. Florence B. Hallowell in Golden Days. A very small proportion of those who yearly mail valentines are aware of the tact that the custom is confined wholly to America tnd England, and that there exists in the calendar of the Roman Church a St. Valentine. There is no incident touching the career of this saint to account for the custom of sending valentines, but writers offer various explanations. One is that the saint was famous for his love and charity; another, that the birds were supposed to select their mates on this day; and another, that the practice was prevalent ia ancient Rome about this time. However little or much the saint may have had to do with the establishment of the custom, it is a fact that hundreds of years ago our English ancestors used to assemble on the eve of St. Valentine's Day, put the names of all the young maidens promiscuously in a box, and let each bachelor draw one out. The damsel whose name fell to his lot became his valentine for the rest of the year. He wore her name in his bosom, or on his sleeve, and it was his duty to attend and protect her. As late as the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries, this custom was very popular, even among the upper classes. There were various other customs, too, of

a like' character, and many absurd charms for foretelling the future husband or wife. Children take much pleasure in sending to each other pretty little tokens on St. .Valentine's Day, and ia anticipating the receipt of them; and they receive more gratification from the observance of the custom than do their elders, who attach little importance to it. Modern valentines are very pretty thirg?, and they are growing prettier every year, since large business houses spare neither money nor skill in their preparation, often paving large salaries to special workmen, and large turn! for special and novel designs. "The boy or girl who receives a dainty

missive, composed of satin, lace and flowers, may wonder how it is made, and look upon it as the work of fairy fingers. But no. It has been made familiar with clue-pots, steel stamps, sand-paper, paint brushes and 'likely presses betöre it goes forth on its mission. And grimy-handed workmen have turned it over, pressed and rubbed it, and deftly-fingered girl have put on the bunch of paper flowers, the Cupids, the hearts, mirrors and cunning little doors, stuck in the sent and tied up the bows, and otherwise fashioned , it precU( !y after the pattern before them. There are many children, however, who prefer to manufacture their own valentines; not because those they find at the shops are cot pretty, but because they enjoy the work, 1 J 1 J -

it is more economical, anu mattes is cetrer than any bourht valentine to the recipient. Perhaps theso children would like a lew hints in regard to this fascinating woi k, for all who have ever tried it know that it is fascinating to dabble in paste and gum. tragacanthe and mucilage, and to handle handsome papers and pretty pictures. The back-ground of the home-made valentine may be ccmpoeed of either a sheet of plain white paper or card-board, or embossed paper. OrnamenUl cases with an oval opening, closed by a flap on one side, and an epenwork frame n the other, benvath which a picture, a verse or a mirror is to be pasted, admit ot several arrangements. You can paste over the plain sheet a covering of gilt, blue or embossed paper, with the centre cut out in a small flap, under which paste the verse or flower. The flsp, too, can be ornamented, and a viny piece of lute string Tibbon gummed to it, by which it may be raised' at, pleasure. You can also take sheets of pale-buff or blue paper, adorn the le:t hand side with some floral design, and on the right paste or write a pretty, appropriate vtrse. If you are fortunate enough to be ab'e to draw neatly, theee valentines may be decorated beautifully with pen-and-ink sketches. Whole sheets of brilliant little emtosed flowers, flgurts and heads, can be bought for a trifling sum, and if children co-operate, they can divide the sheets, and to eocuro on ly a few of each kind. Sheets of gilt paper, large enough to make a dozen valentines, can be bought for fifteen cents, and those cf carmine, green, violet and other bright colors, at fivo cents each. Any of these look well when placed under white open-work, the latter decorated with gilt stars. Slips of silver paper, or alternate slips of silver and blue, mako a good back-ground, and pansiea contract well with gold. Lately, 1 saw a very pretty valentine made last year by a little eirl only nino years old. Black lristol-board sides inclosed pretty pictures ard two hearts crossing each other, w Lilo the outside of the covers was decorated with pressed grtUiuj neatly gummed on. Who Suggested the Telescope. ISt. Nicholas. I Some of the most important discoveries hare been made accidently; and it has happened to more than one inventor, who had long been searching after some new combination or material for carrying out a pet idea, to hit upon the right thing. at least by mere chanoe. A lucky instance of this kind was the discovery of the principle of the telescope. Nearly three hundred years aero, there was living in the town of Middelburg, on the inland of Walcheren, in the Netherlands, a poor optician named Hans Lippersheim. One day, in the year 1008, he was working in his shop, his children helping him in various small ways, or romping about and amusing themselves with the tools and objects lying on his work bench, when suddenly his little girl exclaimed: "On, papal See how near the steeple comes!" Ilalf startled by this announcement, the honest Hans looked up from his work, curi ous to know the cause of the child's amaze ment. Turning toward her, he saw that the was looking tnrough two lenses, one held close to her eve, and the other at arm's length; and, calling his daughter to his id3, he notioed that the eye lens was piano con cave (or flat on oneside and hollowed outpn the other), while the one held at a distance was piano convex (or flat on one side and bulging on the other). Then, taking the two glasses, he repeated hi daughter's 'experiment, and soon discovered that she had chanced to. hold the lenses apart at their exact focus, and this had produced the wonderful effect that she had observed. His quick wit and skilled invention saw in this accident a wonderful discovery. He im

mediately set about making use of his now knowledge of lenses, and ere Ion; he had fashioned a tube of paste-board, in which he set the glasses at their exact focus. This rough tube was the germ of that great instrument the telescope, to which modern science owes so much. And it was on October 22, 1G0S. that Lpperheim sent to his government three telescopes made by himself, calling them "instruments by means of which to see at a distance." Net long afterward another man, Jacob AdrianBz, or Metiu. of Alkmaar, a town about twenty miles from Amsterdam, claimed to have discovered the principles of the telescope two years earlier than' Hans L:ppersheim; and it is generally acknowledged that to one of thee two men belongs the honor of inventing the instrument. But it seems certain that Hans Lippersheim had never known or heard of the discovery made by Adriansz, and so, if Adriantz had not lived we Etill should owe to Hans L'ppersheim'8 quick wit,and his littlo daughter's lucky meddling, one of the most wonderful and valuable of human inventions. lloffentteln ami the Women.

Dot if Tou will tell lie, cut a broad slice Wiih a free hand, and don't be over-nice! Uoethe. The first ingredient in good conversation is truth, the next good sense, the the third good humor, and the fourth wit B jb Ingersoll having confessed that he doesn't know what is to come after death, his followers have secretly begun to lay in a stock of fans. A lover is a man who endeavors to bo more amiable than it is possible for him to be; this is the reason why almost all lovers are ridiculous. Stories first heard at a mother's knee are not wholly forgotten; a little spring that never quite dries up on your journey through scorching years. Th latest edition of Professor Noble Butler's Kijglisa Grammar tolerates the use of catch eo" m lieu of "caught " Webster permits the employment of ' ax" in placa of ak." The wrld moves. Since his retirement from the Supreme Court, Justice Strong has undertake to deliver before the Law School of the Columbiana U verMty, at Washicgton.a saries of lectures on "The History of the Constitution klVUi It's a deep mistery the way the heart turns to one woman out of all the re-t he's een in the world, and makes it easier for nim to work seven years for her. liko Jacob did for Bichel sooner than have any other woman for the asking. Friends," once said a clergyman to a number of. people who had entered Lis Church for the purpose of getting out of the ra;n, 4I have often heard of the Church being ucd as a clcak for one's sins, but this is the first time I ever heard of its being used as an umbrella." The Massachusetts Senate have rejected a House l iil providing that a woman convicted ot fornication may be f cntjto the l'dformatcry Prison for a term of not more than two years for the reason that no similar punu-h-ment is provided for a man guilty of the same crime. The point is well taken. Bat why not make a similar penalty fjr criminals of both sexes? "I think," said Mrs. Partington, getting up from the breakfast-table, 'l will take a tower or go on a discursion. The bill says, if I collect rightly, that a party is to go tö a very plural spot, and to mistake of a very cold collection. 1 hope it won't be as cold as ours was fr tb pxr last Sunday. "Why, thera wasn't efficient to buy a foot for a restituta widder." And the old lady put on her sash and left. Sixteen American inventiens of worldwide adoption are the cotton gia, the planting machine, the telegraph, the mower and reaper, the rotary printing-piess, steam navigation, the hot air engine, the sewing machine, the India-rubber industry, the machine manufacture of hors shoes, the sand blast for carving, the gauge lathe, the grain elevator, artificial ice making on a large scale, the electric magnet, and the telephone. In the New York Woman's Prison a reporter talked 'to an inmate who had been arrested for drunkenness. She was twentyfour years of ago and had started on her career as a newsgirl. She was not inclined to say that, all things considered, her life1 had been unfortunate, and she expressed this bit of sad wisdom: Uad I been ugly I might have had a hard time. But good looks go a long way farther than good morals.'' One of the funny indications of the growth of civilization among the Indian students at Hampton School is the change of names that is rapidly going on, both among the children and their parents, when brought under their influence at home. The girls seem inclined to adopt the names of teachers or lady friends to whom they may be attached; but the boys transform their Indian names, sometimes ina most astonishing way. Bear's Heart has melted, and now writes his name Mr. J. B. Heart. The father of one of the returned students, who formerly bore the discouraging name. Don't-Know-How, now dresses in "store-clothes" and has put up a sign, D. K. How. - Roman Nose has been induced to adopt the initials of a gonerous white friend, and writes himself now J. Cuthbort It- Nose. AVhether Bosa-Lay-Out-of-Doors will come in and be converted in this revival of names wo have not learned. The way in which this change is going on may throw light upon the namebuilding cf people of higher pretensions than our young friends from Dakota. A Sanctimonious Tramp. A Chillicothe, Ohio, special of the 13th, to the Commercial, says: About a month as?o a specimen of the 'VducaUMl tramp" cru k this city in his wanleii.gs. He iiad a leautifully-couxtniciiid story as part of bis stock in trade, which ne reheaned to the pastor of the First I'resbyterlaa Church, Per. Dr. I'.iKJT1. His umne, ho said, was Thomas Ma!aby, mm he had snnl-red great hardship, rcorn of the cold world, etc.. but he held firmly and unWBVerlncly tu Iiis Christian faith through it all. The locttir was ilmpre-sed with his pitiful tale, and set to work to And him sotuthiug to do he expressing a willingness to work in the nednTvhiie artirliii(r him the shelter of his roof. One of theKldersof tlieClmrcb, Hugh Bell, a wealthy land owner living on the verge of town, took an interest i: him, and eiuaed him to attend to horses and do "chores" abont the house. Malaby was apparently very grateful, joined the Church, was constant in his attend ance at prayer meetings, tuuRht a ckuss in the Suuday-K'hooi. and in addition performed his household lnhrtrs iu a hUhlv creiltable manner. He gained the confidence of the members of Mr. Dell family, who wtre accustomed to look upon him as a tramp snatched Irorn tne buruinp, and dtrreloped into a creditable member of society. This morning Mr. Hugh boll. Jr.. caiuet:. this city lit search of a telegraph ollice and the aid of the police. Last eveiiliis the house had been left iu charge of Malaby, while the family attended some social diversion Ou their return they found the houe in a high state of confusion, and Malaby gone. The thi'ig was apparent almost at first glance. The wholo thine, couversion and Sun-day-fehool teaching included, was .the clever dodge of a professional thief to get an opportunity to ply his trade. Mr. lldl. Jr., was the principal sufl'crer. Iiis wife kx-t a valuable diamond rln? and some other jewelry. His gold watch and chain, which he had carelessly left on his dressing t itle, was gone, a were all his shirts and underclothing and two full suits of clothes. Some valuable silver-plate was also gone. Malaby had made a big haul and departed. No clue bns yet been obtained to the direction taken. He is a rather pleasant-looking fellow, of plausible ndrires.4, dark hair, blue eyes, and stands abjut live feet teu. A Very Sweet Ride. A Lebanon (111.) special of the lath says: Constable Davis, who left hla wife and ran away with another woman some time ago, returned Saturday niht. Indignant at his conduct, a number of citizens prepared to punish üim. A rail wan prepared, and. coal tar not being procurable, two gallons of molasses were purchased. Davis secured, and the f uu began. Davis, smeared all over with moia.-es, was set astride of the rait and paraded through tho streets, the crowd Jeering and hooting like Camanche Indiana. Davis was finally released, and notified that if he lemaiued over Sunday the treatment would be renewed. The laPvst intelligence is to the effect tbat Davis still remains and threatens toproscC'.ito the crowd. The boys, meantime, have procured coal lar, ar.d a renewal of the matinee with tar and feather accompaniments Is hourly expected.

The Hartford Timc3 is authority for say ing that the latest rage among young male idiots of the lily and sunflower breed, is for the collection of hair pins from young ladies. These are stitched into albums and marked with the names of their former wearers. In the matter of brains and general solidity the hair pin has the advantage of these fellows. Two butchers in Kansas City clinched and fought in a dispute over the Sullivtn-llyan prize fight. One of them threw the other over a beer keg. breaking his neck.

Oscar Wilde i3 said to have received a guinea a line for the short poem by him in "Our Continent. As the poem is thirty lines long this brinrs his pay for the tritle up to $150. Men have been paid more. Tennyson once received $50 a line, but no verse in recent years has been quoted higher. In the present case the money is well spent in securing a deal of gratuitous advertising. Two clergymen of Fauquier, Va., went into Court with their dispute as to the own ership of a $3 calf. Each owned a cow which, he claimed, was the mother of the calf. The Justice went with the Jury and litigants to a pasture, where the two cows were let loose for the youngster to choose between, and the question was so quickly and unmistakably tettled by the biutes that the Jury gave a verdict without further hesitation. Boston philanthropists are trying anew the plan of keeping men out of bar-roonis by enticing them into coffee houses. They have opened what they call a coffee place, and Governor Long ceremoniously drank the first cup of coffee. As an offset to the rum sellers' seductive free lunches all sorts of temperance comforts for the stomach are provided at extremely low prices. A smoking room, a billiard room, and rooms for reakiug and games considered innocent are free to all well-behaved men and boys. A new violin genius has suddenly appeared in Italy a little girl, whose name is Tua. Her father, a very poor man, scraped a little money together to buy a violin for himself. His next extravagance was to buy hiä wife aguitar. When the little girl w.s three years old tho taught herself, and played in such an incredible style on the violin that the father immrdiatefy tuidertook to produce her ns a prodigy. When she was seven she arrived in Paris. There she was brought to Mas-carf,who 'cs so struck with her jfecocious talent that he at once offered to take her into the Conservatoire. To this the father objected. But the sensation which the child created was such that a subscrip

Vaccinated on the Tongue. Grand Rapids Leader. 'About a week ago a man stepped into the oflice of a well-known physician and seating himself at the table engaged in conversation. On the table were laying a number of vaccine points, which the visitor mistook for toothpicks, and taking up one began operating it among his molars. The physician didn't notice what the man was doing for some minutes, and his attention was only called to the fact by the visitor punc luring Iiis tongue with one of the points, causing it to bleed slightly. The doctor gave the matter prompt attention, washed the man's mouth with alcohol and used preventives of various 'kinds, but. ala., to no purIose. The vaccinatien ''took," and the man to day wears his tongue on the outside of his mouth. Fees of Doctor. The fee of doctors is an item that very many persons are interested in just at present. " We believe the schedule for visits is t.l 00, which would tax a man confined to his bed for a year, and in ned of a daily visit, over $1,000 a year for medical attendance alone! And one single bottle of Hop IJitters taken in time would save the 1,000 and all tho year's sickness. rosr.
