KISSING GOODBY.
A kisa he took and a backward look.
And her heart grew suddenly lighten
A trifle, you say. to color a day.
Yet the dull gray moru seemed brighter.
For hearts are such that a tender touch
May banish a look of sadness;
A small, slight tbin con u-.uko us sing,
But a frown will check uur gladness.
The cheeriest ray along our way
Is the little act of kindness.
And the keenest sting some careless thing
That was done in a moment of blindness.
We can bravely face life in a home where
strife
No foothold can discover.
And be lovers still if we only will.
Though youth's bright days are over.
Ah, sharp as swords cut the unkind words
That are far beyond recalling,
YVneu a lace neb nm 'ueatu a coutu lid.
And bitter tears are fulling.
We fain would give half the Uvea we live
To undo our idle scorning;'
Then let us not miss the smile and kiss
When we part in the light'of morning.

Secretary Foster and the Monument.
When Secretary Foster first came to con
gress the Washington monument was
literally the national laughing stock, look
Ing, as It stood there, like the trunk of a
storm severed mast apparently the tower
which the parable speaks of which the
builder could not finish because he bad not
counted the cost. It was the sneer of the
tourist and the shame of the resident. It
was perfectly evident that it was not going
to be finished with the contents of the
little collection boxes liilielcd "For the
Washington monument," which stared at
you as you entered any public building,
any more than with the "memorial" or
votive Btones sent by countries, cities and
societies. It was equally evident that no
other private means would suffice. It
would have to be completed by the govern
ment if completed at all.
Samuel J. Randall was chairman of the
committee on appropriations, of which
Foster bad been made a member by
Speaker Kerr. Randall, who liked Foster,
jokingly created him a sub committee on
monuments, and turned over to him as
such a lot of bills for monuments to this
man and that memory. One day there
came over from the senate a bill which
John Sherman had gotten through there,
providing for the completion of the Wash
ington monument by the government, and
appropriating $200,000 for that purpose.
Foster was watching, and just as Ran
dall, scowling at It, was about to pigeon
hole it, he spoke up and said: "No, no, Mr.
Chairman. I'm the sub-committee on
monuments; that bill belongs to me," with
that persuasive smile which has moved
more obdurate hearts than Randall's.
"Take it, then," said Randall, throwing it
over the table. Foster did take it, and
went to work at once collecting the data
for a report on the subject, which was so
full and so strong that it convinced a ma
Jorityof the committee then, and after
ward a majority of the house passed the
bill. The work then begun never ceased
till the aluminum cap was put on the apex
of the pyramidal top. No wonder Foster
finds satisfaction every time be looks at
his handiwork. Washington Cor. Phila

A City Destroyed by Silence.
Amyclte, if the old legend of its fate is to
be relied upon, actually perished through
silence. The legend concerning the unique
end of this ancient city is as follows: Amy
clss was a town of Ijuconia, founded by the
Lacedemonian king Amyclte. It was an
Independent city for many years, but was
finally conquered by the Spartans. The
City bad been so often alarmed by false
rumors of a projected Spartan invasion
that at last, weary of living in a state of
J01"? trr?r- u , d"t thftt
should be made a public offense to report
the approach of an enemy. So, when the
Spartans at last actually appeared liefore
the city, no one dared to warn the official
of their approach, anil thus they were aljl
to take the town with scarce an effort.
There is, it must be admitted, anothei
"silence myth concerning AmychB. Svr
Tins says that the city was founded by
Pythagoreans, forbidden by laws of their
order to speak of or to harm serpents. The
result was that the snakes from the bills
sought the precincts of the city, and, no
one daring to speak of it to bis neighbor or
to harm the slimy creatures, one by one
the inhabitants left, until dually the city
was completely turned into a snake den

We piled the rocks that way go the

"Waal, one December uiormn me and
pard woke up to feel that thar was a
blizzard makin ready to bust on us. It
had been coolish but pleasant up to that
time. We could tell by the feel of things
what was comin, and began to git ready
fur it. It was jest arter noon when a
woman walked into our shanty. She
was an emigrant. Bight here in this
cove she had left her husband and four
children to try and find some help. He
had bin sick fur three weeks and was
little better than a dead man, aud she
had bin drivin the team an takin keer of
things gener'ly. She orter to hev turned

they kept on.

the last hundred miles alone. They

She was a frail, leetle woman, and she
bad gone through with nnff to down a

got ready to go back with her an bring
in the outfit. We made a start, but we
never got thar."
"The blizzard prevented, eh?"
"She did. She came swoopin down all
of a sudden, like some great bird dtoppin
from the sky. A hue snow begun to

any with us, but the change was sudden

turned us around before we had got fif

cold, it jest paralyzed you. We had to
go back, and arter takin a big drink o'

Then we had to stop. You couldn't see
three foot from your nose, and all of us
was freezm to death by inches.
And you went back?"
We did. The woman was deter
mined to push on, and we jest had to
pick her up and carry her back. It was
only by the Lord's hand pintin the way
that we ever reached our cabin agin.
We had our ears, noses and fingers friz.

What Was tbe Matter with the Cake?
A sociably inclined young couple who
are comfortably quartered in one of the
large apartment bonses op town invited a
few friends to a card party one evening
last week. Owing to a misunderstanding
regarding the date not one of the expected
guests appeared on the evening iu ques
tion. The young wife was greatly vexed.
She had prepared a tempting little supper,
and bei economical soul revolted at the
idea of its beintj wasted. Cue of the fea
tures of her table was a large ornamental
cake, which she had purchased at a neigh
boring confectioner's. he cut the cake
and endeavored to imluce her husband to
eat a portion of it, but he tint not like cake.
Bhe was determined, however, that some
body should eat it, and she offered it to the
hall and elevator boys, of which there were
four. They accepted it with euthusiasui
and quickly disposed of it.
The following day every boy was sick
very sick. A doctor was called, and his
Investigations led to the suspicion that
something was the matter with that cake.
He said that tbe boys had undoubtedly
been poisoued. The confectioner's shop
was visited, and the story of the mischief
breeding cake was told to him. He had
evidently beard a similar story liefore, for
he hastily exclaimed: "Oh, it was part of
that varnish batch of cake. I am so sorry.
You must excuse nie. My cook put in a cup
of varnish. That is till. You see I have
been having the woodwork in my store
varnished. Yes, that was it. He put iu
some varnish. That is all."
The boys got well, and the story of the
"varnish cake" has been repeated all over
the neighborhood. When the bidden guests
who staid away from the card party heard
of it they were glad that they had misun
derstood the date. New York Times.
Indian Chess.
Indian chess, or "chattiranga," is played
with a rajah, an elephant, a horse and a
ship, and four foot soldiers, corresponding
to a king, a castle, a knight, and a bishop
and four pawns, anil there are four play
era. Each player faces his partner, aud
places bis pieces iu theonlerof ship, horse,
elephant and rajah, beginning at the left
hand corner the four foot soldiers being
of course in front. Partners are thus on
the opposite diagonals. The players move
lnthoorderof thesuti. The tactics of the
pnme, nntmrentlv from the "Hhavlnlivn
Purann," are not to attack your opponent
who has just played, as would be done in
double chess, but to obstruct the opponent
who has to play next. The game is dis
tinguished from double chess by marked
variations.
There is no queen, aud the ship or bishop
is "lame" can only move two squares at a
time, though he ran hop over au interven
ing piece if he likes. Moreover, a player
can take his partner's rajah if things are
Dot going well, and so assume command of
both armies, and it both sales have lost a
rajah they cuu be restored by mutual con
sent.
The game is thus pervaded by a military
spirit, though not so stiff hut that the
opening moves are made by the aid of dice.
In this early game the rajah could be
taken, but he cau always, if all the other
pieces are taken, retire with the honors of

Do Not Sleep on Vour Left Side.
When a patient complains of a bad tnste
In his mouth every morning ou waking up,
the first question I ask him is as to the po
sition he assumes when going to sleep.
An immense number of people sleep on
tbe left side, and this is the most common
cause of the unpleasant tuste which Is gen
erally attributed to dyspepsia. If a meal
has been taken within two or three hours
of going to bed, to sleep on the left lido Is
to give tbe stomach a task which it is dif
flcult In the extreme to perform. The
student of anatomy knows that all food en
tors and leaves the stomach on the right
side, and hence sleeping on the left side
soon after catlag Involves a sort of pump
ing operation which is anything but con
ducive to sound repose.
The action of the heart is also interfered
with considerably, and the lungs are un
duly compressed. It is probable that lying
on the back is the most natural position,
but few men can rest easily so, and hence It
Is best to cultivate the habit of sleeping on
the right side. It is very lurguly a matter
of habit, aud the sooner it is acquired the
better for the sleeper and the worse for the
physician. Iutervlew Iu St. Louis Globe
