Shortly after midnight on the 21st inst., Miss Ida called her relatives and friends to her bedside and bid them good bye. She had been struggling between life and dealh for some time with that dread di-ease consumption. At first she expressed great anxiety to recover; h"t when she must go, she said. “If it is the Lord’s will I am willing to go. there, is nothing in mv way.” When trying to console the bereft | we sometimes say, “don’t weep.’’, but let me say, weep not as though you had no hope,” for, though Ida lett'her| earthly home site lias gone to a much belter one; though she leaves relatives and friends she Ivas gone to-join that part of the family who havi;.preceded her. You have laid her body away, but Jesus has said “She is not dead hut sleepeth.” Then let ns all remember that the time is coming when we must d^c. If death, comes at morn, at nooirbr at night arc we able to say as did Miss Ida, “There i~ nothing in my way.” ** Electric Bitters.

THE STRANGE GUEST. —:- I He t rought a branch of olive— This stranger guest of mine. Could l deny him entrance Who boro the peaceful sign? Ah. no! I bade him welcome. I set him meat and wine. But while he drank and feasted, HoW laughed his eyes divine! I I tool: the branch of olive. (The sootkest plant that grows). And from the curven ceiling 1 hung it wit li the rose. “lint why to nie this token Who never lacked reiose? Why this tome,” I questioned, “Who know nor feud nor foes?” j lie smiled beneath the olive— This strangest sponger guest. A branch from off tfitttliora tree i Hail told his errand best. For since ni^* house he entered There's neer a heart at rest. To mock me w ith the olive! But; Love doth love his jest. —Edith Thomas. x Intelligence In a ISulUlog. “HisGrace the Dukeof Gttisebury” (when the property of Mr. Wilton J, Kixjwas left for some time at a strange house by his j master, who slept there a lew nights anil | then went away, much to the consternation of “G uisebury.” who was apparently unable to believe that iris master could be safe without him at his side. However, in a day.or two the dog seemed to console himself with the idea that, alter all. business was business and must be attended to, and that there could Be no good in worrying about what was done, and accordingly settled down and became bis old self. In about .a fortnight “Guisebury” hap- i pened to be wanted, but was nowhere to be . found, although a cliarac stie snorting and whining could be heard when he \yas I called by name. After some time this was 1 traced up stairs to the room where “Guy’s” owner had slept, aud there my lord was found, seated on the bed in great triumph, i and saying as plainly as dogs can 'speak: “This is where my governor sleeps, and I am going to stop litre till he comes back. . I’m sorry I could not come when you called j me, but you see 1 had other engagements.” ■ The door of the room was open, so that he j might haw come when called, which as his winning showed he evidently rather wished to do, if he had not stuck to what he thought his duty.—English Illustrated Magazine._ ?Iail Englishmen. A singular story is told of a party of gen- 1 tlemen who arrived at Naples recently on their way home from Australia. One of | the party was Mr. Lionel Kignolil, the pop- i ular comedian, and it was agreed to visit the great Eau Carlo Opera House during | the day. They* did so. and as^they could | not be present at the performance in t he j evening it was suggested that the acoustic I properties of the building should be tested j by Mr. Rignolil singing a song. Finding his friends; would take no denial, j Mr. lligtiold warbled (jirth that pathetic love ballad, “Mrs. ‘Eit’ery’ Awkins,” which | was received by liis traveling companions j .with unbounded applause and with great I [astonishment by the Italian attendants, ; who, after accepting a generous grat uity to ' soothe their feelings, ungratefully exclaimed as the party left the building: “Ah, these English! They are ail mad!” —Loudon Tit-Bits. , An Unique Way to Secure One’s Pay.

People With Blue Eyes. Have you ever heard that nearly all the j gre:tt. people in the world have had blue eyes? There have been, to be sure, a great many celebrated persons who have had brown eyes or black, but the majority have been bine eyed., AH the presidents, except President Harrison, have had eyes as blue as the skies. And besides them I there have been Milton, Lord Bacon, Ben- ] pjannn Franklin, Xapoleou, Bismarck anil Mr. Gladstone, besides huudreds of others. —Harper's Voting Peop e. M:iileu >le Blass of the Egyptians. Stralxi and Josephus both affirm that the Egyptian glass workers were so well skilled in their art that they imitated the amethyst and other precious stoues to perfection. Malleable p mss was one of the secret arts of the ancients, the formula for making it being now reckoned as lost. Strabo mentions a cup of glass which could he hammered 'into any desired shape, the material of which it was composed being as ductile as lead.—St. Bonis Republic. One For His Nobs. “I saw you drinking with Jackson todav.” “Yes.” “You’d drink with anybody, I believe?” ! “No. I wouldn’t drink with you, unless < by a miracle.” “Indeed? And what would the miracle be?” “Your inviting me.”—Truth. Education In Spain. In education Spain is far behind any other European country, Russia excepted. There are school laws that would be useful if they-were enforced.

WOMAN ON The stace. Actress Fanny Davenport Telia How the Highest Snceeas-is Won. Is the successful actress bora or made? Of beaut}*, magnetism or bard work, which is the least essential? Will the pleasure derived from the art and from fame ar.d fortune repay a woman for the struggling, self sacrifice, loss of home life, etc , necessary to attain it? These questions have been asked of a number of the leading actresses on the American stage. Here is what Fanny Davenport says: “I think the success of an actress is won by application and persistency. No one is born successful. They may be lucky, but unless that luck is seized at the proper moment and put to good account, it is of no use in our professional life. I cannot now look about me and see one actress enjoying success who has not fairly won it. Modjeska. Morris, Wainwright, Coghlan, Mitchell, Lott a, Pixley, have earned every particle of their heaped tip measure of success. There are some who have been tied to the ladder and some who raised the ladder, but they ure far fewer in number than the deserving ones. “I think magnetism far better upon the stage thau beauty. When, however, both are combined, the labor to excel is less of a hard row to hoe, for the beauty brings a woman into notice; then magnetism wins attention and interest, and success is assured. “There if no reason why'an actress should not have a home life. Of course in the traveling company custom a woman is debarred from having one ryal home, but if it is in ber she can make » home wherever she goes. Applause and fame are wonderful incentives to work, and ambition to win more is like champagne punch—the more you have the more you want. If a girl has a strong will and can say 'no' and mean it. there is no profession in the world more productive of comfort and money than the dramatic one. Many make it a vehicle for a displayed personal charms or amours, but those who go into it as a living, loving it is an art and making it first before all frivolous attractions, are bound to succeed.’’—Dost on Herald. A Fashionable Itelic of. Barbarism. The painting of the face is one of the most curious relics of barbarism on record, dating back to the very infancy of the race. The first men painted their faces in time of war to make their aspect more terrible, and in time of peace to render themsqjves mere attractive to the fair sex. The sense of color in those primitive epochs was far from being as delicate as that of the modern mstbetic. If the pale shades invented by the dyer of these days had then been known, they would have been despised as offering nothing tangible to the vision. The first colors were red, yellow, blue and black, found in a state of nature or piepared by simple methods, and the only rule of art for their use was that they should be liberally applied. The American Indians, when they crossed Behring strait from Asia-or were blown across the Pacific at some date so distant that it can only be guessed at, brought the custom with them, and those which civilization has spared preserved it to the present day in its pristine purity. All the ancient tribes of the north of Europe practiced a similjar mode of decoration when discovered by the Romans—those of Germany (mentioned by Tacitus), the Britons and the rest almost without exception. The Piets, who were a Scottish tribe, must have used abnormal qukntity, as their name implies, to have justified the special appellation. The custom was from the first so general, so typic of savagery that it resembles an instinct—that is, it is one of those blind impulses of unenlightened humanity which only a high state of civilization could correct in the case of men, and iu the case of women an object more feminine.—SAa Francisco Chronicle. . A Cloth Measuring Machine. , One of the most convenient devices lately introduced is a machine for measuring cloth, whether cottou or woolen; an apparatus which not only takes the length of a piece of cloth, but also records it, yard by yard, on the margin, one. of the chief advantages of the inaebanism being that the operation of measuring never requires to be repeated—that is, the retailer fiudstbe piece he buys marked on the wrong side of the selvage through its entire leugth, and he has only to unfold the last yard to see if the length corresponds with the invoice,* and at any subsequent time it can be seen at a glance how much there is left. Thus the whole trouble involved in measuring is done away with, and also the liability of making mistakes in cutting lengths to slip1 ply customers’ needs. The cloth is not damaged in any manner. Many classes of goods, such as silks, are woven with a selvage that has to be cut off before they are made up, while for others an ink is used for marking the figures t hat can be removed as easily and’completely as the tailor’s chalk from a coat. This useful machine can be driven either by baud or power.— New York Stim

lilaclimet] 1'lectrie Lamp Bulbs. The users of incandescent lamps frequently have occasion to complain of a reduction'of the amount of light supplied to them through the blackening of the bulbs and are apt to put the blame on the central station from which theircurrent is derived. professor Eiiku Thomson now tells us that, this blackening of the bulb is nobody's fault and cannot be avoided in the present state of the an of incandescent lampmaking. The deterioration of incandescent lamps has often been laid to the bombardment of gas molecules, but -Professor Thomson is convinced that in a well exhausted lamp it is due almost entirely to evaporation by high temperature. Just sis ice evaporates in vacrio, so carbon acquires in vacuo a certain volatility at an increasing rate of the temperature. In this way the filament is worn away and deposited iu minute particles ou the inside of the bulb. —Exchange. A Surprised City Miss. A pretty typewriter employed in the government building, whose vacation was spent on a farm, will never attempt to feed pigs again. It has leaked out -t hat while up in the country she requested permission to feed the pigs. This was granted to her of eourse, and she took a big bucket of milk and went to the little inclosure where about a dozen hungry pigs were anxiously waiting for their evening meal. The pretty city miss went into the place and started to pour the milk into a trough. At sight of the milk the hungry porkers all rushed at her, aud as a result she was knocked head over heels, aud the milk was spilled ail over her, and she was glad to escape with her life.—Cincinnati Enquirer.
