Of loved ones gone have often passed before;

That lightly come and go,
Like twittering swallows underneath the

Joy that doth ever flow
From the clear fountain welling in the

And maketh all things glow,
With radiance and oeleetial beauty dreesed;
Calm Truee in God and man;

While winter, s stormy van
Gathers the household group in circle wide,
Wheretold and young do meet
Around the evening lamp and social blaze,
And ohildren's voices sweet

Balite Ve. Sells,
While it is good policy in the matter of
purchasing, to avail one's self as far as pos-
sible of " •sales," beware of "sells," and of
goods offered much below heir standard
price.
For instance a piece of navy -talus cash-
mere was offered at fifty cents per yard. It
was double width, firm in texture, a trifle
dull in color perhaps, but the friend who
• saw it, reasoned that at fifty cents a yard
It would at least make a handsome wrapper.
The goodswere purchased, the dress made
up, and every time it was worn her neck,
wrists apron and undergarments were
streaked ,
d withlinee of blue that took a vig-
orous scrubbing to remove. Had the pur-
chaser stepped into the leading dyeing
establishment, she might have noticed upon
the counter whole bolts of cashmere and
other materials of unsaleable colors that the
following week would blossom oat in their
new tint as the " leaders " in a. dry goods
sale. However, in nearly all sales there are
some few standard articles offered below
their regular price in order to draw custom,
and to aid in the disposal of other goods at
or above their ordinary valuation ; and while
it is well to take advantage of the low price,
one should be positive that the materiel or
garment is of regular make and good qual-
ity.
By buying irithia way, one may lay in a
stook of underwear, handkerchiefs, lace, rib-
bon, ,eto at figures very much below the
ordinary. price'and in the aggregate, quite a
saving is obtained. Indeed, many careful
mothers make a habit of purchasing standard
goods as far as possible at sales and out of
season, buying summer slress goods and gos-
samer underwear just after the holidays, and
silk, velvet, etc. in midsummer. But as
cautioned before, make up your mind what
you want, purchase it alone, and do not be
led aside by the host of other cheap offerings
whi h you do not need.
There are so many dainty trifles exhibited
in a dry goods establishment that are attrac-
tive to a maiden's eye, and dear to her
womanly heart, that no mean degree of self-
discipline has been acquired when she 15

'01d4ashioned cloning -tables are so useful
that no one oan Weed to entirely dispense
with them. An old packing -case makes an
excellent foundation for one. A' large box
about three feet wide and four feet high is
exactly the thing required. The ease should
be laid upon its side and two shelves placed
inside of in These shelves will be found a
most convenient plaoe in which to put boots
and shoes, or a handy spot to tuck away the
large pillow's and counterpane that adorn
the bed during the day and take the chair's at
night, when' are most necessary to the ocou-
pant of the room. The top and sides of the
box must Brat be covered with Turkish, red,
or its companion, Turkey blue first laying
across what is intended for the table side ef
the box at least one thioknese of very heavy
canton flannel. The muslin should be nail-
ed over the canton flannel, and alai teeked
neatly to the side. A broorohandle may
now be nailed te the baok of the box, upon
the top of which should have been previously
nailed part of a barrel top—the roundedpare
towards the front of the table and a little
over it,. the straight side towards the book.
This pace of board must now be covered
with colored muslin, like the table and a
strip %.%f the muslin three inches wide must
be neatly rolled around the stick, so as to
cover it entirely.
The looking -glass for the table should be
prepared by coveting the frame with layers
of cotton batting or canton flannel. It is
well to remove the glass from the frame
while covering it, as it is then lesa liable to
be broken. Bub if this is not desirable, the
edge of the material can be pushed between
the glass and frame with a pair of scissors,
although the latter is not as satisfactory a
way of covering the frame. _
The drapery of the table should match the
furniture covering in the room for winch it
is intended. Madras muslin makes a very
pretty drapery and requires no lining. In-
stead of looping the curtains back from the
glees with loops and bows of ribbon, small
gilt ohains, suck as are used to drape win.
dow-curtains, can replace these with good
effect. The curtains which cover the lower
part of the box should be made to divide in
the middle, so that they are easily pushed
back, and the shelves can be used without
crumpling the material. Coarse lace should
be used to trim the edges of the curtains
and make a deep fall around the table. For
this purpose nothing is so effective as oroolaet
lace. This, if made in the real Scotch ball
linen crochet thread, makes a most beauti-
ful, strong und appropriate trimming for
all furniture which requires such. decora-
tions. The pincushion should be covered to
match or harmonize with the drapery.
The advantage of this dressing -table is
that it can be taken to pieces in a few
moments, the curtains rolled around the
glass, which oan be placed on one of the
shelves inside of the box ; other articles eta
be packed a.bout it, and all can be transit, • -
ed by rail or boat to its destination, whei,
few naile will restore the covers, etc., to
their former places.

• it was determined that above all neither
the Crown Prince's mother, Empress Eliza -

anie, should ever become acquainted with
the true version of the terrible tragedy.
But by a strange fatality all these plans
were frustrated. On Wedneaday afternoon
the body was brought from Ileyerling to
the imperial palace at Vienna and plated on
a catafalque in his bedchamber, in which a
"chapelle andante" had been arranged.
Efere in the evening the hearabroken Em -

The grief of both the imperial ladies was
heartrending, that of Archduchess Steph-

No London Tricks for Her.
Some time ago an elderly married couple,
who had spent the greater part of their lives
in a village in Derbyshire, made up their
minds to take a iourney to London. They
received plenty of advice from their neigh-
bors about how they were to take care of
themselves, and (+spatially to be careful of
the London sharpers.
"To save expense they decided to go by
one of the cheap trips that started from a
neighboring town. They got safely off, and
all went well till the train reached Bedford,
at which place it stopped a few minutes.
The old man, thinking he had plenty of
time, went to the refreshment bar to get a
glass of beer, and was so flustered by the
crowd that he did the very thing he was
most afraid of—got left behind.
An express train being due, however, in
a few minutes, the station -master kindly
allowed hirn to go by it, and he was thus
enabled to reach London twenty minutes
before his wife. He was eagerly on the
lookout when the trip arrived, and seeing
his wife, he rushed up to her, shouting:
"Hi, Betty, I'm glad to see ye wan, I
thought we wor parted forever."
Bettydooked ab him indignantly, and re-
membering the advice of ber country neigh-
bors said.

graduated. It is 'situated in the upper part
of New 'Cork and is under the management
of several veterans of the fire department,
commanded by a well' known veterinary
surgeon, who is practiandly principal of
461111' there iS -10 414.4h hard studying done
in this wheel as in any in New York, even
if the pupils are horses.
The sohool in New York educates horses
for the fire service only. It ie a more int.
portant institution then most people may at
first thought imagine it to be. Intelligent
horses are almost as Indispensable as are in-
telligent men. A stupid, a slow or a balky
horse may at times cost the loss of thousands
of dollars, and perhaps many lives. The
delay of two or three seconds in getting, a
fire engine out of the engine house some-
times gives a fire an impetus that is unnece
wearily damaging to life and property. The
horses turned out from this solemn are war-
ranted to be strong, intelligent and to have
a thorough knowledge of their bushes%
They never balk, they are never lazy, and
are in every respect reliable, being sound of
wind. and limb and. more than intelligent.
The horses are all pioked, but they seldom
are of any use for Are work after five years
of service. They are selected by experts
from among the best horses that are to be
found at the Ball's Head horse market, the
chief horse market in the United States.
The horses selected oome mainly from the
West. It requires some skill to pick out
horses for use in the fire department. Big
and clumsy horses are of no use. But the
horse must be speedy and strong. The
horses aeleoted are usually about sixteen
hands high, weighing from 1200,to 1,450
pounds, and thcw ages range from our to
six year% Youager horses are not strong
enough to drag heavy fire engines, and older
ones are too old to train.
As soon as the horse is bought he is sent
to the school, and Dr. Shea, who is in cheep
of this institution, says that in his opimon
horses and boys are very much alike, and
must be managed in very much the sanae
manner. But Dr. Shea believes in kindness
as a means to get control of Iris pupils and
teach them.
It is marvelous how quickly these young
horses leart what is recoessary tor them to
lamer before they can be put to work. The
men who handle them know their business
thoroughly, and are in love with it. Under
their careful handling the green home under-
stands his duties in little more than a month.
No whip is used in this school. The first
test is that which establishes the soundness
of the animal's wind. Then he is put in his
stall. He ie led backward and forward to
where the harness hangs until he becomes
used to the engine, and until he also becomes
accustomed to ducking or lowering his head
to get it into the collar.
When he accomplishes his task well he is
given apples or candy or lumps of sugar,

• There ere always a dozen horses being put
through their paces at this school, which is
constantly becoming more and more of a
necessity. These horses cost about $300
each, and after their five years they are dis-
posed of +o street peddlers or oartmen for
any auto from n50 to $150. These horses
are so well taught that they never forget
their training. It is not an uncommon thing
when a fire engine dashes through the streets
of New York to see some dilapidated look-
ing ug attached to some huckster's wagon
'stalk up his ears and join in the race to the
wane of fire. It is an old and broketedovvn
file horse who can't forget the stirringdays
he
when helped draw the engini
e. It s the
same epitit that led broken-down hunters
to in in the hunt at the sound of the ory
of the hounds.

team OM are attached to engine company
17, in Chambers street. These were the
prizownenners at the world's fair at tne
American Institute 40 1885, and they are still
the champions. They are the two most fa-
mous scholars ever turned out from New
York's niece'. Sae is the onatnplon of
champions, and he entertains many visitors
who come daily to admire his intelligence.
Joe is a roan, and a handsome one, too. His
mate Charley is a bay, and this teain can
drag a heavy engine over the ground faster
than any team in the United States and
probably m the world. At the world's fair,
when they won the medal which they still
hold, they were tried on b dash of twenty-
six feet six inches-. They made three tests,
one at 10 in the morning, another at 2 in
the afternoon, and yet another at 8 onlock
1n440 evening.
The time of the first dash was one and
five-eighths seconds-; for the second two and
one-half seconds, and for the last two 'em-
ends. The Intelligenee of these horses is
simply remarkable. Chief Shaw, of London,
eould 'warmly believe that they eoulci do
what was said of them until it was done be
fore hie own eyes. liven then it was hard
to believe. On three ordinary trials the
°thee night Joe and Charley got into their
beefless and had their engine on the street
and on their way tti 13, fire in an average time
of eleven emends. And there vvaa to spooled
effort to make extraordinary speed, either.

Dr. Hammond and Woman's Brain.
Dr. William A. Hammond who, diare-
garding the reoord of colleges, insisted on
claiming that woman was, is, and must over
be inferior on amount of ber smaller brain,
its leaser sp.ecifio gravity and other palpable
differences ea structure, has not been heard
from lately, and is dountless pondering over
the facts revealed by the shientific researches
of Helen Gardner, our doughty champion,
who, after months of careful study with
the best authorities, made these discoveries:
—(1) That the keine oftinfa.nts show no dif-
ferenne in the sexes. (2) That there is no
suoh marked differe we between the brains
of the sexes as between the brains of the
individuals of the same sex. (3) That while
the brains of the most distinguished
men, the Cromwell% the Caviar% the By-
ron% and the Spurzheims have been weighed
to help the average for man, there has never
been examined the brain of a great woman.
Our sex has been ticketed to fit the hospital
patient and the tramp. (4) That while 14 18
claimed by the best authorities that the
aped& gravity of woman's brain is less than
man's it (is also conceded by the same best
authorities that the specific gravity ot brains
inoreases in old age and insanity. (5) That,
after all, the difference in male and female
brains is so slight as to be not easily recognie-
able. Based on this last assertion Miss. e
Gardner offered to furnisla Dr. Hammond
twenty well-preserved adult brains of both '
sexes ticketed in cipher, and threw down the
challenge to him that he would not be able
to tell which was which. Unless Dr. Ham-
mond accepts this challenge we want to here
nothing more from him on the subject of
woman's inferiority. like Mark Tartan's
Irishman, "but silence, and mighty little of
that."--(Woroan's Tribune.
