A PSALM OF LIFE.

Through the wild babel of our fever'd time The song of Homer cometh, grave and stern, With tidings from the world's fresh, healthy prime-

Tidings which our worn, wearied age concern.

Unchang'd, through all the long, unnumber'd years, The voice of Homer sings the song divine, Which tells of godlike toils, of heroes' tears

And of the punishment of Priam's line.

The battle in the plain is raging yet The watch fires blaze the beak'd ships line the shore. For us the foe in grim array is set.

Ah, but do we fight as they fought of yore?

For we, too, like the heroes long ago, Must wage slow wars and sail the bitter sea. Fierce is the conflict, loud the tempests blow,

And the waves roar and rage unceasingly.

Still must we wander o'er the stormy main, Twixt rooks and whirlpools a dread passage make, Bttll must tho sirens sing to us In vain,

Still from the toils of Circe must we break.

Turn, thon, to Homer'B pealm of life and see How they endured whose pilgrimage is done And hear tho message they have left for thee—

Only by patienoe is the victory won. —Macmillan's Magazine.

INCANDESCENT LAMPS.

Bow the Burned Out Filament May Be Replaced and Renewed.

It haa been generally supposed to be a fruitless task to attempt the renewal of burnt out incandescent electric lamp, although there appears to be some economic fallacy involved in the destruction of what is except in one small if important particular a perfect piece of apparatus. It is not intended, as a rule, to give in this column descriptions of American devices or achievements drawn from foreign publications. This •abject has, however, been taken up by the English journal, Industries and Iron, and, although it states that an American process for renewing these lamps after the filament has been broken has been developed, it does not give the name of inventors nor state that the process has come into anything like general application. Its description of the operation is therefore given for what it is worth.

It states that a commercial success has been made of a process for renewing burned out lamps which renders possible the use of the old bulb at a very slight expense. By the new method the collar, or bare end, of the lamp is not disturbed, the old filament being removed and the new one placed through a small hole in the lamp bulb made by removing the tip. The small hole is subsequently closed exactly in the same manner as in the case of the new lamp, leaving nothing to indicate in the finished, repaired lamp that it had ever been opened.

It is stated that some 400,000 lamps have been repaired by this method, the filament being inserted through the Mmn.n hole referred to by a skillful twist of the hand and secured in position by a special carbon paste. The black deposit on tho inside of the bulb is removed by fitting the lamp to tho holder and removing it in a gas furnace, while immediately following this operation a small glass tube is fused to the opening made in tho bulb, through which the lamp is exhausted. When this has been done and tho last trace of air and gas absorbed, a blowpipe flame is directed upon the throat of the tube, which is melted into tho point exactly in every respect a counterpart of the original lamp.—Providence Journal.

The Well Dressed Man.

There is a oertaiu professor in a certain university of tho United States who onoo, at tho beginning of one of his lectures on fine arts, got ou the subjeot of the kind of pins worn in the neokties of young college men. He was a good leoturer aiyl was always interesting, but this looture was the most interesting of his courno to tho 800 boys who heard him, and tho whole hour was spent on necktie pins, their use and misuse and what they suggested. Tho gist of what he said was that there was no more reason why a boy should wear a horseshoe with a whip across it all in gold than that houses should have sioves for roofs, and that as it was extremely foolish to put a big sieve 011 your house for a roof so it was quite as foolish to wear horseshoes on your neckties. The principlo of thin is that you should have a reason in what you wear as well as in other things and that senseless decorations, like horseshoes on neckties or neckties on horseshoes, are silly and unbecoininn to a self respecting person. This particular example was only one to illustrate a principle, which is that nothing unusual, queer, out of the ordinary, is in itself a good thing—that, in fact, most things tmit are queer aim out of the ordinary are likely, iu the question of dress, to be in bad taste. A man's dress ought to be quiet, but it must be olean and well taken care of in every instance. The best dressed man is the man who, in whatever company he finds himself, is inconspicuous who, you realize in an indefinite way, is well appointed, though you cannot well tell why.—Harper's Hound Table.

Costumes For the "New Year.

"Nowadays the woman who has 20 friends or she who has 200 receives them on a special day. The tea gown, no matter how handsome it may be, is not intended for wear even by the hostess at an afternoon 'at home.' Instead a pretty, well fitting frock is assumed," writes Isabel A. Mallon in The Ladies' Home Journal. "The combination of stuffs with velvet or satin gives to the visiting toilet a rich appearance and possible artistic contrasts in color as well as in materials. There is a decided liking for moire. Usually the moire is watered in the broad fashion and has large figures or designs in the same color as the background brocaded in silk, not velvet, upon it Brocaded moire is almost invariably combined with velvet. The moire is used for the skirt and the velvet for the bodice, although some part of the bodice, the back, the waistcoat, the draped corselet, or perhaps only the belt and collar, must be of the same material as the skirt. "Black, in velvet, silk and wool, is more popular than ever before, and dressmakers endeavor to gain novel effects by using the magpie colors—L e., black and white. Anew material which bids fair to gain great popularity is called 'soleil cloth.' Lace and passementerie of jet, steel, gold, pearl and that rich kind formed of imitation precious stones are used upon street and house gowns."

DreM Accessories.

The various fanciful accessories involved in many of the new fashions, says a fashion writer, are well calculated to fulfill their mission, which is to give variety without material change in the dress. Unusually interesting and artistic conceits are shown and they are most lavishly used, the effect of exdfess being easily avoided by good taste and clever disposal. With other fancy waists it is always well to have a black satin bodice plain, stylish and close fitting, with a skirt to match. This may be quite high in the neck, or otherwise, cut square with one or two semitransparent chemisettes provided—black and white severally, for instance also one of black satin trimmed in some pretty fashion.

A majority of the new neck trimmings are made to simulate a square neck or very broad deep yoke bordered with lace or plaited chiffon frills, and these, worn with a high necked bodice, can be varied indefinitely. A strap of ribbon passing over the shoulders forms a short brace on each side, and these straps are joined by a ribbon that cross es the figure horizontally. Rosettes of ribbon qonceal the joining, and thus the pompadour collarette is formed, and insertions of ribbon and lace are added to the yoke part and frills of chiffon or lace to its edge.

Jennie June on Women's Clubs.

There is one aspect of the work of women's clubs that will be more apparent during 1897 than ever before. Formerly a distinct class of women joined together in clubs. Now almost all classes of women have caught the spirit. Society women have shown that they appreciate the value of the club idea. Young oollege women are forming clubs as fast as they can, and all manner of women who have never been identified with a club in their lives are now manifesting a gratifying desire to join the movement. What the leaders of the clubs throughout the country are planning to do during the coming year, what we who have been with the movement from the beginning-hope for it, is too long a story to be told in a few words. Our ambition, however, is heightened rather than otherwise, and encouragement is most abundant.—Mrs. J. C. Croly in Now York World.

To Reduce Infant Mortality.

The city fathers of Buffalo, at the instigation of Dr. Wende, backed by the medical fraternity, have passed an ordinance prohibiting the use of tube nursing bottles. Dr. Wende is the efficient health officer who by his sensible methods roduced the death rate of Buffalo about one-half in two or three years. He expects to rodnco it still more by means of this ordinance.

France long ago did away with this deadly nursing contrivance, and her physicians claim that thereby the lives of about 100,000 infants have been saved annually. The danger of the tube bottle lies in the impossibility of keeping the tube clean microbes breed in it and quickly find their way into the infant's stomach and intestines, when the little one soon succumbs to "bowel trouble."

A Quaint Necklace.

One of the ir.ost unique necklaces worn this winter with an evening gown was made or oombiued after an original idea of the wearer. She had a beautiful chain of silver, of a fine design. In a shop in the eity where antiques are to be found she discovered some beautiful old Spanish paste brilliants. They were a beautiful, rich crimson, almost like carbuncles. Some of them were on quaint Spanish bracelets. She secured a number of them, had them fastened as pendants to her chain, and the effect has been the admiration and envy of her friends.—New York Letter.

The Hot Water Pip*.

Kwp it out of the treacherous pipes, and you will lessen the danger of a stoppage there before morning.—Philadelphia Press.

There are plaid canvases in fzzsc-j oinr combinations, covered with fine flbr of black.

HE HAD A CLOSE CALL.

Major General Miles' Thrilling Encounter With Lame Deer.

Probably the closest call General Miles ever had in all his experience aa an Indian fighter was that in his enoounter with Lame Deer. It was in 1877, when he was still a colonel, during his campaign against the Sioux and other hostile tribes in the northwest. Lame Deer and his outlaws had been pmiring trouble in Dakota, and Colonel Miles raided their village. He tells the rest of the story in his personal recollections thus: "In the surprise and excitement of the wild onset of the charge a group of warriors was forced away from the rest. Before making the attack I had ordered our Sioux and Cheyenne Indians to oall out to the Lame Deer Indians that if they threw down their arms and surrendered we would spare their lives. As we galloped up to this group of warriors they apparently recognized the purport of the demand and dropped their arms on the ground. In order to assure them of our good will I called out, How how-kola" (meaning friend), and extended my hand to the chief, Lame Deer, which he grasped, and in a f^w seconds more I would have secured hii^ and the others, as, although he was wild and trembling with excitement, my adjutant, George W. Baird, was doing the mae with tho head warrior, Iron Star.

Unfortunately just at that time one of our white scouts rode up and joined the group of officers and soldiers with me. He had more enthusiasm than discretion and, I presume, desired to insure my safety, as he drew up his rifle and covered the Indian with it. Lame Deer saw this and evidently thought the young scout was going to shoot him. I know of no other motive for his subsequent act than the belief that he was to be killed whether he surrendered or not.

As quick as thought, with one desr perate, powerful effort, he wrenched his hand from mine, although I tried to hold it, and grasped his rifle from the ground, ran backward a few steps, raised his rifle to liis eye and fired. Seeing his determined face, his set jaw, wild eye and the open muzzle of his rifle, I realized my danger and instantly whirled my horse from him, and in this quick movement the horse slightly settled back upon his haunches. At that moment the rifle flashed within ten feet of me, the bullet whizzed past my breast, leaving me unharmed, but unfortunately killing a brave soldier near my side."

Naturally the whole scattered band of Indians was instantly wiped out by a close and deadly fire from the soldiers. The incident is typical of the whole series of Indian campaigns in which General Miles figured in the last quarter of a century. The desire to treat the redskins as fellow men, constantly thwarted by tlie natural suspicions of the savages themselves, is apparent all through the book.

ORIGIN OF "RESTAURANT."

An Interesting Philological Fact From France.

The French author, Maurice Cabs, recently published in La Bepublique Francaise an essay about the restaurants and eating houses of Paris, relating many interesting details. His story of how the term "restaurant" was first used isavell worth repeating. For along time inns and eating houses in France were only intended for the benefit of traveling people, for the people took their meals at home, and restaurants were unknown. The first enterprise of the kind was founded in Paris in 1765. A citizen by the name of Boulanger opened in the Rue des Poulies an eating house where soup, meat, fowl and eggs were served. A chronicler relates that meals were served there on small, round, marble tables, and everything was scrupulously clean.

Over the entry to this first eating house the proprietor had hung a sign, upon which were the Latin words, "Venite ad me omnes qusB stomacho laboratis, et ego restaurabo vos" (Come unto me all ye whose stomachs need attention, and I will restore them). This is a parody on the well known Biblical quota tion, "Come unto me all ye who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest,'' only in place of labor and heavy laden he said, "whose stomachs need attention. The word'' restaurabo,'' from the Latin "restaurare" (restore or refresh), was the main characteristic of the new establishment and gave it its name. Boulanger amassed a large fortune, for his enterprise proved eminently successful, but he was soon imitated, some of his imitators becoming more famous than he, like Borel, at whose place 120 years ago meals could be had for 150 francs ($30) per cover.

Grant and Hancock at a Night Alarm.

When Hancock's headquarters were reached, the party remained with him for some time, awaiting the arrival of the head of Warren's troops. Hancock's wound received at Gettysburg had not thoroughly healed, and he suffered such inconvenience from it when in the saddle that he had applied for permission to ride in a spring ambulance while on the march and when his troops were not in action. He was reclining upon one of the seats of the ambulance, conversing with General Grant, who had dismounted and was sitting on the ground with his back against a tree, whittling a stick, when the sound of firing broke forth directly in front. Hancock sprang up, seized his sword, which was lying near him, buckled it around his waist and cried, "My horse, my horse!" The scene was intensely dramatic and recalled vividly to the bystanders the cry of Richard HI on the field of Bosworth. Grant listened a moment without changing his position or ceasing his whittling ana then remarked: "They are not fighting. The firing is all on one side. It takes two sides to start a fight." In a few minutes the firing died away, and it was found that the enemy was not advancing. The incident fairly illustrates the contrast in the temperaments Of these two distinguished soldiers.— General Horace Porter in Century.

Women's Wages.

Out of 450 college women recently interrogated 109 of them are teachers, 28 stenographers, 47 librarians, 22 nurses, 19 journalists and 19 are clerks, while the remainder are distributed around in various unclassified positions. The majority of a given number of women, asked in regard to the matter, Baid they received less pay for the same kind of work in which men are engaged. A small number were found to get the same pay, and a very tiny fraction of a number received more money than men in similar positions.
