She wears a plain poke bonnet. such as mother need to wear Some thirty years ego or more, and does not crimp her hair, But wears it plain in satin bends smoothed softly from her brow To show her forehead in a way Dame Fashion don’t allow. She isn’t much on styleâ€"you see she is not in the whirl, Yot everybody stops to bless the Hallelujah Girl. No silks end eetins does she wear but just a plain attire Of some dark, rough material. to which a touch of fire Is given by a little gleam of scarlet, and her shoes Are not rich embroidered kid, such as our ladies use; They’re made to plod through mud and slush when giddy snow- flokes whirl, And children starving rise to bless the Hallelujah Girl, Through alleys dark at nightfall, where the shadows thickly lie, Where crime and want Walk hand in hand beneath the starry shy, Where fever-racked. pale women lie, and children cry for bread, Where hearts that once were light as air are heavy now as lead, She wanders like an angel sent from heaven’s gates of pearl. For she is Mercy’s messenger. the Hallelujah Where ribald oaths fro rime-stain- ed lips escape upo the air, Where scarlet women wait their prey she moves with whispered prayer. And at her coming oaths are stilled and eye-lids fill with tears As mem’ries waken of a past that has been dead for years ; Her hands are not so white as those you clasv in fashion’s whirl. But well she does her Master’s work, the I reckon when the books of God are balanced up above, Where angel hands the records keep of deeds of hate and love .

Its Best Productions. That the North American Indian nev- er rose to a high level of civilisation may be attributed to his lack of inventive- ness as well as to his indoleuce and improvldence. He reared no enduring structures and constructed no instru- ments for the manufacture on any- thing but the smallest scale ot articles of use and exchange. This seems at first glance like a satisfactory explana- fion of the undeveloped state of his civilization. Mafi'gaflca‘flaflhflkfl fi“ I'O'U‘BPHODOH It is nevertheless not true that the Indian lacked inventiveness. He has left at least two worthy monuments of his capacity for invention, although our own civilization has converted them from articles of necessity into what are practically playthings. These two evidences of the Indian genius are the birch bark canoe and the snowshoe. For beauty and utility in the uses for which it was designed no product of the white man’s art working with the same materials could have surpassed the Indian canoe. The snowshoe, as the Indian designed and made it, moreover, is a distinct work of art and, like the violin of the older masters, seems incapable of improve- ment. It may be argued that these are arti- cles of the simplest kind, but the gen- ius that inspired their invention and construction is none the less worthy to rank with that which manifests itself in our own civilization in works of an ampler but 'not niore beautiful design. Writing Which May Be Made invisi- ble or Visible at Will. There are several ways in which two persons can correspond with each oth- er unknown to even the people before whose eyes the very letter is held. Ovid taught young women when writ- ing to their lovers they should use new milk as ink. This when dried is invis- ible, but by scattering coal dust or soot upon the paper the writing becomes legible. Ansonius adopted this method when writing to Paulinus. Diluted sulphuric acid, lemon juice, solutions of nitrate and chloride of cobalt or of chloride of copper write colorless, but on being heated the char- acters written with the first two be- come black or brown and the latter green. When the paper becomes cool the writing disappears and leaves the paper blank again. Saltpeter dissolved in water and equal parts of sulphate of c0pper and sal annnoniac dissolved in water are two good invisible inks. There are also some inks which are invisible when dry, but visible when moistened with another liquid. Thus a solution of muriate of antimony washed with tincture of galls becomes yellow, green vitriol ink washed with the same solution turns black, nitrate of cobalt washed with oxalic acid turns blue, arseniate of potash with nitrate of copper green, solution of gold with muriate of tin purple. Gambetta’s Table. There is a curious story told of the table at which Gambetta wrote. A previous owner, General Lahitte, min- ister for foreign affairs in 1849, dis- missed his confidential servant because he believed he had stolen a large sum of money in 1,000 franc bank notes. Years afterward, when the table had to be repaired, the joiner employed for the work found the missing bundle of bank notes between the mahogany board of the table and the drawers be- low. They had lain the unnoticed for fourteen years. Untor nately the story does not go on to say that the poor servant and his mistaken master were alive at the time of the discovery and that the one’s character was clear- ed and the other’s confidence restored. Kaiser’s Snub ot the Bismarck» The marriage of Count Herbert Bis- marck and the Countess Hoyos took place at Vienna, and it was on this oc- casion that the kaiser took a step which was one or the falsest steps of his life, a step equivalent to the malev- olent boycotting ot the Bismarcks. By order of his majesty Count Caprivi, the new chancellor, wrote to Prince Reuss, German ambassador at Vienna: “Should the prince (ex-chancellor) or his family make any approach to you pray confine yourself to conventional forms of courteo sy. ' This order is also to be observed by the staff of the embassy. I may add that his majesty will take no no. tice of the wedding.”â€"London Chroni- cle. The Tali-manic Moonstone. The remarkable peculiarity of the moonstone is that. while in all other gems internal seams are called flaws and detract from their value, in the moonstone they ahe called “magic mir- rors, because those favored mortals who are gifted with the illumination of the astral light can by its aid read on those surfaces of milky white the reflections of the past and the promises of the future." Binksâ€"I wish they would cut out these ballad singers at the vaudeville. They make me tired. Jinksâ€"Well, you might get somebody to remove their noses. Then they wouldn’t have any- thing to sing through. 8th". “Now I know,” sobbed the six months’ bride to her husband. growl- ing over her extravagance, “why you used to call me a flower. You thought I was an orchid and that I could live on air.” It is from books that wise men do- rive consolation in the troubles of life. -Victor Hugo. INDIAN INVENTIVEN ESS. SECRET INK. The Only Cure.
