A SONG OF THE CAMPFIRE.

Oh. the sparkle of the campfire on the sheltered woodland shore, With the forest for a background and the lake spread out before, While the frail canoes come tossing home to harbor in the bay And the star above tho sunset marks the passing of the day I

As the summer night grows deeper, how the flame illumes the pines And its wavering reflection on the starlit water shines 1 We have drawn a ring of magio in the wilderness and gloom, And the darkness looms beyond it like the walls of some vast room.

Gathers now the twilight circle, each bronzed camper in his place, While the laughter of the firelight meets tho laughter on his face, And we sing the good old ballads and the rolling college glees Till tho owl far up the mountain hoots deflanoe in tho trees.

Then the story and the laughter pass the merry circle round, And the intervening silence thrills with many a woodland sound— No\ the weird and ghostly challenge of the solitary loon, Now tho whistle of a plover journeying southward 'neath the moon.

Ah, tho charm that hangs forever round the camjiflro'n ruddy glow For the H:IKC and for the savage, for the high anil for the low! There i« something grand and godlike bein? roofed with .stars and skies And lulled solemnly to slumber by primeval lullabies. —James Buckham in Youth's Companion.

SHAKO ANI) COIF.

Renoo to Blanche S A NO Kits, May 15, 1871. Here wo are, my dear Blanche, comfortably established in a country house near Angers belonging to Mere Ste. Ursula's brother-in-law, and have been here for the past week. But I am still so bewildered by all that has hapjxencd that I feel as if awakening from a dream. As you know, I remained at the eonvent at Neuilly with my little sister Lili and six other Iwarders, orphans like ourselves, or whose parents, living in foreign parts, could not come to take them away. There were In all four little and four large girls. At first all went smoothly—no more lessons or tasks only a short recitation in the afternoon for fun. We spent the day In the park, playing or rending amusing books. But the mothers looked sad arid worried, and to bo sure our quiet did not last long.

Although you have been a year in society, you have not, I am sure, forgotten one of the oddest customs at the dear old convent.

Every little while, you remember, during recreation one of the mothers crossed the court and sounded her clapper.

This was a signal to stop our play and remain silent while the mother repeated a verse or two of the gospel or the "Imitation.

Then the clapper sounded again and recreation was resumed. This was to remind us that we have souls to save and that our games of croquet or bill must not make us forget it.

Well, one day—tho 25th of March,

I

re­

member—we were about to play hide and seek, when Mere Sfce. Angele came out with her clapper. Clack, clack! Evcryl)ody stood still. Tho mother began, "What shall it pro lit a man if ho gain tho whole world"—

Bourn. Ixuim! It was a shell, my dear, thrown by the commune. It burst in a tree not ten feet away. Mere Rto. Angele had not the courage to finish her sentence. The dapper fell from her hand. The little ones began to cry. I took Lili in my arms and we ran to tho study room. The rest of the day and the night passed without incident, and we bepm to quiet down, but when we were in the refectory and the soup had just been served: lloum, bourn I A shell burst on tho roof of an adjoining house. ''To the cellars, children, quick, quick," cried the superior, Mere Ste. Ursule. "Take your plates and napkins!" And down the stairs we rushed, plaie in hand, spilling half our soup on the steps. Tho little ones thought It very amusing this time, and Lili was delighted. "into the coal cellar—that is safest!" cried the mother superior from above. The lay sisters spread sheets on the ground, anJ we seated ourselves on slicks of wood thrown down here and there and finished this highly dramatic breakfast ri ht merrily. Not the least sign a shell till nightfall. We went, to

IhhIof

In the dormitory,

{is usual but, as you may suppose, we did not sleep much, excepting Lili, whom I had taken into my little bed. The lights had lxvn extinguished, and we wore much more afraid In the dark. A liont 10 o'clock a grmt. blaze of light suddenly illumined our windows. Almost-at the same moment the glass was shivered to atoms by a violent explosion. "Jesus—Maria!" cried Mere Sfce. I'rsule, whoso

IkhI

was near ours. Quick,

to the parlor, children!" A now procession was formed, more melancholy than that of the mornin'g. The lay sisters followed, currying our mattresses, while we drugged our slnots and coverlids along by the light of the dim lantern.

I carried Lili, for in all this noise and oonfuslon she had wakened only a moment and had fallen asleep again at or.ee. Wo armngxxl our Ivds In tho grrnt puvior ami lay down us wo wore told to do.

But further explosions wore heard near by. "To the cellars, to tho cellars!" cried the superior again. "You will be safer thcrv. Be good llttlo girls and pray to God!"

We staid there a fortnight. The noise of llring was almost- continuous. We saw through the loopholes the beautiful trees in our park shattered by shells. We rend, we played games, even blind* man's buff and hide and seek, for there were good hiding places behind the piles of wood and rubbish, only, unfortunately, wo knew them all in a few days. The little ones grew wry weary, and the big girls cried now and then. I controlled myself not to alarm little Llll. Sometimes between noon and 5? o'clock then1 was a little lull, and wo stole cautiously out and pioked up pieces of exploded shells in the garden.

The time was

very

Pray,

long. Pat Mere

Sto. Felicite—you remember her, she who went through the Crimean war—could not boar the stilling air of the cellar and ndd quite* seriously to the mother superior,

mother, let me go oat I will take

an umbrella." We had been foar or five day* In hiding, when a company of Versailles soldiers took possession of the conrent. The captain paid us a visit to en courage us, as be said, but partly, I fancy, to gratify his curiosity. He was very nioe Indeed, this captain, and quite aristocrat lc looking. Not

very

good looking, per­

haps, but with a slender, graceful figure and an air of goodness, frankness and en­

ergy. They called him Captain d'Orsanne. It was easy to see that he was of noble birth, still very young and wearing a medal for bravery during the war. He staid a full hour with us, talked cheerfully, gave Mere Ste. Felicite news of an old general whom she had known in the Crimea and found out that Mere Ste. Ursule was sister to one of his comrades at St. Cyr.

He was charming and petted Lili till he quite won her heart. The next day he sent us fresh meat and vegetables—we had nothing left but dried provisions. He came to see us every day, often bringing bonbons and dainties to the little ones, always giving Lili the lion's share.

On Easter day our good chaplain, Abbe Jusselin, whom we saw now and then, told us that he would hear our confessions as usual.

Captain d'Orsanne had told us that very morning that a sortie of the communists was expected and that his company would prolKibly fight that day. He added that wo had nothing to fear, but you may imagine our feelings.

Abbe Jusselin heard our confessions in a corner of tho coal cellar. The big girls —especially Bertha Malvan, who always wore her handsome cousin's picture in a locket you remember her—sobbed bitterly and thought their last hour had come. Lili, who is (5, made her first confession that day. I can't Imagine what she told Ablx* Jusselin, but she would do what big sister did.

Confession over, Abbe Jusselin gave us a very solemn general absolution, as in time of great danger, and exhorted us to make the sacrifice of our lives to God. "Bah," I heard Mere Ste. Felicite mutter, "he should not talk so to children." Then he administered communion, still in the cellnr where the Holy Sacrament had been brought several days ^before. It was very impressive, I can tell you, and we felt like the early Christians in the catacombs.

That evening Captain d'Orsanne came Imck with his company. They were victorious, of course (I will confess to you that I had made special prayers for the crtptain), but they brought back several wounded.

One of the cellars was cleaned out for their reception, and the nuns took care of them. I wanted to help nurse them, but the superior would not let me. I complained to the captain, and ho told me smilingly that my duty was to stay with my little sister. But we could not stay in the cellar forever. The captain said that the war would certainly last a month longer, so we must decide what to do. The 8th of May the superior told us that we were going to Angers, where her brother-in-law, a wealthy manufacturer, had offered us his protection and a shelter. Wo each took a little bundle of clothes, and, in order to carry as much as possible, wore two pairs of stockings, two chemises and two or three petticoats. The nuns, by way of precaution, put on ordinary dresses and hats, instead of their habits and veils. Such dresses, my dear, and such hats! Mere Ste. Felicite had unearthed them from heaven knows where, and the poor mothers looked like frights, excepting poor little Mere Ste. Agatha, who is so pretty that she looked quite a fine lady.

We left the convent at nightfall by the litl le gate at the end of the park, and Captain d'Orsanne accompanied us to the last outpost. On the bridge over the Seino a puff of wind carried away Mere Ste. IJrsule's bonnet, and we all laughed a little, but just as the captain was about to leave us a shell hissed over our heads and made us serious enough again. The captain bade us farewell, and Mere Ste. Ursule thanked him warmly for his kindness to us. Ho asked leave to shake hands with her, then with me and with Mere Ste. Felicite, and he kissed Lili several times.

My heart was full at the thought that I should proliably never again see this poor captain, who had been so good to us.

We soon reached Courbevoie, where two carts were waiting for us, and at 10 o'clock we reached Versailles, whore we took the train for Angers. And, now, that is all.

Wo should bo very contented here at any other time, but everything that happens is so sad. Write to me soon, dearest. I embrace you fondly. Yours, RENEE.

Fragment, of a letter from Captain d'Orsanne to Jean NKIUI.LY, VISITATION CONVENT, May 15, 1871.

Just fancy, my dear fellow, I have been here a fortnight with my company in a convent full of nuns. We found here, besides the sisters, half a dozen boarders hidden In the cellars, for shells were falling altout like hail. These sisters were regulai trumps, not much scared, and I lived on the In st of terms with thom for about ten days. One old sister knew our former chief In the Crimea.

But the pluckiest of all, the prettiest, the merriest, was a little lxmrder about lfi or 17, I suppose, named Renee. She had a little sister, 5 or 6, to whom sho made an adorable little mother.

I escorted the purty to Courbevoie the othor day, for they could not stay any longer in the cellars. As I left them a shell whistled past our ears. Mile. Renee lifted her little sister and put her In my arms without a won!, but with such a confiding air and such pretty, appealing eyes that I was quite overcome, I shall probably never see the little girl again and only mention the pretty apparition en passant. Yours, JACQITES,

Fragment of a letter from Renee to Blanche S PARIS, Sept. 21, 1874.

Last Sunday my guardian and I went to dine with Mine, de Lys, an old friend of poor mamma's. Mine, do Lys said to me, "You are going to meet a charming man, Commandant d'Orsanne," and just then in he came, not changed in the least, not a bit older. I knew him at once. He looted rather embarrassed, as if he thought he knew me, but was not quite sure. Then I began to laugh like a little goose, and he said without preamblo, "Well, Mile, Renee, how is little Lili and Merc Ste. Ursule and Mere Ste. Felicite?"

Mine, de Lys and my guardian did not understand it at all and looked at us in amazement. In short, we met like two old friends, the commandant and I—for he is a commandant at 36, my dear.

To be sure, he is not a count or a marquis, as I fancied, but that makes no difference. REXKK.

FILLING A BULLDOG'S TEETH.

An Operation Wlilch a Scran ton Dentist Did With Hesitation, but Success.

A powerful and ferocious bulldog, owned by Dr. Ward of Scranton, Pa., enjoys the distinction of having a big gold filling in one of his incisors, and a good many citizens, who have caught a gleam of the gold in his mouth, wonder how the filling was done. Some think it was done through hypnotic influence by the doctor over the dog, while others insist that it was through the dog's implicit obedience to his master's comtuand.

Two Horses.

The editor of the New York Christian Advocate learned not long since from a coachman that horses are not unlike human beings. He writes:

Riding in a friend's carriage one day. wo noticed that the ooachman made constant efforts to restrain one of the horses and to hasten the other. As the pair were handsome aid perfectly mated, we said,'' What is the difference between these horses, that you are constantly touching up one and holding in the other?"

Said he: "The one that I whip cannot possibly overwork himself. I will not say that he is lazy, but he is so made that he never can and never will do himself any damage. It would be Impossible to whip him so hard that he would hurt himself. The other can trot a mile in less than 2:25, and he would trot from the love of it until he dropped dead. Hot or cold, he does his best''

Didn't Locate It,

Dr. H. F. Fisk, principal of the academy of the Northwestern university, is an exact man, says the Chicago Inter OceanHe has made it a rule that for all absences from recitations his students shall write out reasons in full why they were away and what recitations were missed. One day Dr. Fisk received a note as follows: "On account of the earache, headache, stomach ache and cramps I was unable to attend algebra at 8 a m., grammar at 10 a. m. and English at 8 p. m."

Dr. Fisk excused the student, but at the same time took occasion to rebuke him for not stating in his letter where he had cramps.

TEBKE HAUTE SATURDAY ETENIKG MAIL, FEBRUARY 6, 1897.

The bulldog's name is Gem. He is as ugly in appearance as a prize winner in a dog shofr. His nose is amass of wrinkles, and his eyes have a wicked gleam for any one but his master and Mrs. Ward. His affection for them, however, knows no bounds. When Gem was discovered one day clasping his muzzle between his paws, rolling over and over on the floor and moaning, his mouth was examined, and it was found that there w:w a big cavity in one of the incisors. It was decided that a dentist should be consulted. The dentist found that it would be necessary to use a rubber dam, and he promised to fill the cavity provided (Jem was etherized. This was done, and tho operation was considered a successful one, although Gem evidently thought otherwise. Some time afterward the filling came out, and Gem's last state was worse than his first, for he refused to submit to another operation with ether. At the first sniff of the ansesthetic ho not only added a score of wrinkles to those already in his nose, but showed his teeth in so dangerous away that the dentist refused to proceed. Dr. Ward insisted that he could make Gem Btand on the table and have the tooth filled without wincing. The dentist was dubious about trusting his hand between the brute's jaws, but finally consented to try.

Gem was put on tho table, and his master stood in front of him, kept his eyes fixed on Gem's and told liim to open his mouth. Gem did so, and a rubber dam was soon adjusted in place. The dentist set to work with the instrument of torture called a bur, and one of Gem's ears went down in a threatening way, while the other remained cocked. The doctor held one finger raised an\ '-opt his eyes fixed on Gem's, that nev wandered from his master's gaze. The attitude of Gem's ears proved a barometer of his sufferings when the bur touched a spot close to the nerve. When both

ears

ii-'"-

went down, the dentist

knew he had gone as far as dogs' nature would let him go. Gem's eyes never wanderod from the doctor's in the 1 hours the dentist was at work. Gem stood th,) final polishing, and when his master gave the void for him to get down from the table G?m danced with demonstrations of joy at his release. Since that day he has no trouble in masticating the biggest beef bone.— New York Sun.

Salaries Earned by Successful Buyers.

A good buyer who year after year increases his business and the reputation of his department, who leaves for tlr semiannual inventory a clean and desirable stock—one who, in fact, has the genius of mouey making—is paid a salary in the big houses of from $5,000 to $10,000 and often a percentage on the yearly increase of his sales. In some of the largest departments a number of the most capable buyers thus receive as much as $80,000 a year and are regarded as cheap at that, a fact which can be readily understood when it is remembered that in a single department of a great shop selling, say, $1,000,000 worth of goods a year, a difference of 5 per cent in the profits, which may be the result of a good manager as distinguished from a mediocre one, amounts to $50,000. On the other hand, in the lower class stores buyers in many of the departments are paid as low as $25 a week, with no percentage. If the large incomes are the great exception, it is also to be said that the opportunities are more numerous than tho men with the ability to t:ike auvantage of them.— "The Department Store,".by Samuel Hopkins Adams, in Scribner's.

Tw*n and the Mammoth.

A remarkable discovery was made a few years ago in the sandstone rock at the Nevada state prison.' The "find" was considered wonderful not only from a geological standpoint, but from an ethnological point of view also. While the convicts at the institution were unearthing some huge blocks of stone they uncovered some peculiar indentations in one of the slabs. Closer investigation proved that these queer marks were the tracks of some gigantic beast of antediluvian time—perhaps a mastodon or a mammoth. When the startling intelligence was announced to the prison officials, they had the sandstone slabs containing the tracks carefully cleaned, whereupon another wonderful discovery was made. In the same pieces of stone, sometimes at the side and sometimes between the tracks, made by the great prehistoric beast, were a series of human footprints, which proved conclusively that man and the mammoth lived not only at the same time and in the same age, but that the huge beast and the man had passed that way during the same year, and perhaps on the same day. These wonderful relics of a bygone age were found in a quarry at a depth of abcut 15 feet from the surface and had previously been covered with a stratum composed of hundreds of tons of stone—the accumulation of the ages that had intervened between the date upon which the tracks were made and that upon which they were revealed to the scientists. Expert geologists who have since passed an opinion on the matter say that at the time the tracks were made that which is now hard sandstone was a mucky deposit of soft sediment, probably the border of a lake, where the man had been fishing, and where the mammoth had come to bathe or drink.—St. Louis Republia

A Wonderful Bird.

One day a wonderful bird tapped at the window of Mrs. Nansen's home at Christiania. Instantly the window was opened, and the wife of the famous arctic explorer in another moment covered the little messenger with kisses and caresses. The carrier pigeon had been away from the cottage 80 long months, but it had not forgotten the way home. It brought a note from Nansen, stating that all was going well with him and his expedition in the polar regions. Nansen had fastened a message to a carrier pigeon and turned the bird loose. The frail courier darted out into the blizzardly air. It flew like an arrow over 1,000 miles of frozen waste and then sped forward over another 1,000 miles of ocean and plains and forests and one morning entered the window of the waiting mistress and delivered the message which she had |*?eu awaiting so anxiously. 1Ve boast of human pluck, sagacity and endurance, but this loving little carrier pigeon, in its homeward flight, after an absence of 80 months, accomplished a feat so wonderful that we can only give ourselves up to the amazement and admiration which must overwhelm every one when the marvelous stoiy is told. Mrs Nansen's pigeon is one of the wonders of the world.— Churchman.

Why Europeans Are Safe Among Turks.

The explanation of the safety of Europeans among these fellows, oven where the police were absent, is probably to bo found in the tentative character of the Turk's violations of right and of law. In doing what is wrong he always begins an abject coward, gaining courage with impunity. The mere fact that a European would walk straight through a crowd of the bludgeon men, jostling against them in an unconcerned manner, convinced them that for some reason he was not a safe man to attack. In some cases Armenians walked safely throtigh the mobs on the street simply by pushing their "way with a determined air. In every case where an Armenian ran from them, or even ^esitated on meeting them, his only chance of life was gone. The tentative character of Turkish aggressions is not sufficiently borne in mind. At the beginning of a wrong even a sultan will draw back en he sees that his course 'is resented by one whom he knows to have the right and believes to have the force to do so.—Yvan Troshine in Scribner's.

Grant's Demerits as a Cadet.

Grant's page of demerits at t^est Point shows scarcely a single mark for any real offense against good conduct. They are mainly "lates" and negligences. He was "late at church," "late at parade," 'late at drill." He was growing boy and a little sluggish of a morning no doubt. Once he sat down on his post between 5 and 6 in the morning. For this he received eight demerits. Twice in his second year as squad marcher he failed to report delinquencies in others and received five demerits each time. His amiability led to this. Once he spoke disrespectfully to his superior officer on parade. The provocation must have been very great to have led to this. The probabilities are the officer was miuaken.—Hamlin Garland in McClure's Magazine

Life In a London Shop.

"Assistants who consult their own Interests will refrain from talking about their salaries." Such is a notice posted up in the dining and recreation rooms of a large drapery establishment in London. The evidence is unimpeachable, for it is that of Miss Collet, one of the assistant commissioners of the labor commission. Two things might be deduced from the possibility of such a notice existing. One is what a vast market of unemployed assistants there must be to draw from, and how hard it must be to get a situation, if men submit to be silent on the subject of their grievances, which even the fellahin of Egypt are not debarred from airing. The song which they sing in the very ears of their taskmasters is anent their cruel treatment and scanty wage. Another thing that notice testifies to is that the life of shop assistants must be duller than one thought. Think of their standing from morning till night, with their tranquil air of politeness unruffled by the fidgets and fuss of thoughtless customers, not daring to stretch or yawn as a relief to 'the nameless weariness of the stuffy shop, and the long day, and the gas, and the crowds of new and unsympathetic faces, the taking out and putting back of endless things, not permitted to speak to one another without risk of a fine (it is 2s. 6d. in some shops), and then to think they are not allowed that solace of every Englishman in all his troubles—viz, to grumble! Life in a mine must be easy, life in a fact ray bliss, life in a kitchen liberty, compared to life in a London shop Qr showroom.— Churchman.

An Old Settler.

When the rheumatism first preempts certain tracts of your anatomy It may be ousted easily, but when it becomes an old settler it is pretty hard to budge. Remember this when you experience the first twinges of this obstinate and agonizing disease, and attack it with Ilostetter's Stomach Bitters. It will then "mako tracks." and possibly leave you unmolested and In peaceable possession of your own comfort in the future, l'eril always attends rheumatism, if it becon es chronic, on account of its tendency to attack the heart. Usually it is complicated with kidney trouble. Certain it is that the kidneys, when aroused by the Bitters, will eliminate impurities which give rise to rheumatism and dropsy. In inclement or wet weather, the Bitters, taken In advance, will often avert rheumatic trouble. Use this genial family medicine for dyspepsia, billiousness. headache und constipation.

Signal ing From Mars.

Any citizen ho is tired of mundane concerns and

w:u t3

to fix his miud on

something higher is invited to consider the allegation of Sir Francis Galton, made in tho London Fortnightly Review, that some one on Mars is signaling to earth. The information seems not as yet to be very generally confirmed by astronomical observers, but Sir Francis is quoted as authority for the report that in one of the European observatories an apparatus has been devised for recording the Martian flashes, and that the record shows that three signals and no more are made, and that they differ, as all flashlight signals do, in the length of the flashes and of the intervals between, so that if wo had the key they might be read like telegraphic messages.

Of course this is not a yarn to be swallowed whole, but the association of the name of Sir Francis Galton with it is enough to entitle it to consideration. There seems to be no intrinsic impossibility of our having relations with people in Mars. It sounds preposterous, of course but, like other marvels, it seems preposterous chiefly because it is unusual. We have to nudge ourselves from time to time in this age of swift surprises and remind ourselves that nothing that is new to us can possibly be more marvelous than many things that have grown familiar.—Harper's Weekly.

Eggs Are Useful.

According to The Medical Record, eggs are useful in the following applications: A mustard plaster made with the white of an egg will not leave a blister. A raw egg, taken immediately, will carry down a fish bone that cannot be extracted. The white skin that lines the shell is a useful application to a boil. White of egg, beaten up with loaf sugar and lemon, relieves hoarseness—a teaspoonful taken once every hour. An egg in the morning cup of coffee is a good tonic. A raw egg, with tho yolk unbroken, in a glass of wine is beneficial for convalescents.
