THE MOCKING BIRD. Yher Is no other bird sings half like that! From Eden's bowers it new. Out to the world, with wavering plumage raj, With the unhappy twain, that sad day The rose wept tears of dew. . It is not nightingale or lark. . " Oh, a diviner bird! In moon tipped forests, sweet with night and dew. And son kissed meadows, when the sprint? goes through. Its voice is ever heard. Its nests! In. breaks where roses blow. Where honeysuckles roam; The wind pipes soft around it, and the rain Of tearful April parts in twain. Nor dainps its downy home. . Whence cometh it and goeth it? Born for the soul's delight. No bird that flits through .glories of the dawn. Or homeward comes, down deepening twi light drawn, '. '' Can match its heart notes slight. Mark A. Candler in Atlanta Constitution. Easy Enough. Julian Mitchell, the stage manager, Vas rehearsing a company.: of variety 'people who had waxed ambitions and planned to go forth, into the flowery fields of polite farce.'.' Among them was knockabout team, one of whom was cast to play a gilded youth who figures prominently in the piece. His ideas con cerning, the proper performance of the role were supremely weird, and one after noon Julian overheard the following con versation .between the portrayer of the modern swell and his partner: "Say, Billy, I ain't got no use for these dood parts. I can't get no conception uv em." "Com.e orf. Caff shootin's dead easy." "Ever try itf" "Sutfnly. Kelcey ain't in it with me when it comes to wearin dress props."

In the realm of machinery and manu facture the inventor is yet but entering upon his infancy. Many millions of dol lars have been reaped and are to be ac cumulated by the inventor in machinery who understands the complicated deeds of humanity. The central idea in this work is ib reduce labor, .expense and time to the lowest point, and so to econo mize in the use of material that there will be no absolute waste. To enter upon this field of invention one cannot trust to accident and happy luck, but he must first thoroughly acquaint himself with the laws of dynamics and mechan ics, so that he can appreciate an im provement when it is suggested to his mind.

The earliest mirrors-of which mention is made in .history were in use among the Israelites in the time of Moses. - That gentleman,, as recorded., is' the Bible, commanded in a certain emergency that these articles should betransf ormed into .wash baairia for the priests. They were made of brass. Doubtless similar uten sils of this and other materials were in use long before that.. Afc .that same period black glass was employed for the purpose, as well as transparent glass with black foil on the - back. It is re lated that the Spaniards found mirrors of polished black stone, both convex and concave, among the natives of South America. Vasbington Star. Labor and Expense In Circulars. Just how much the postoffice depart- -ment receives every . year for making men's lives burdensome with circulars of every imaginable character it is Im possible to estimate, but if . St. -Louis is any criterion it must be enormous. One firm alone sends out considerably over 1,000,000 a year, and quite a number em ploy a large staff of folders and address ers, and get; out ..from ,3,000 to 5,000 a day each during the busy season.. If every one ' they send to reads the circu lars as little, as I do there is a terrible " amount of love's labor, lost in the work. Interview in St." ,L6uia Olobe-Demo- . crat. . ' " ,. ' " '' - .

The spot fashion had its drawbacks. The veil was liable to twist, around, and no matter how 'carefully that spot was located it Was almost sure to work around so that it came on the tip of. .the wearer's nose. Its successor is a dainty spray of flowers or a leaf worked on the gauze. One is supposed to come opposite each cheek. New York Herald. Science comes to the front in the manu facture of grindstones.

HAIRBREADTH MAN AND ESCAPE OF A CLUB HIS BEST GIRL: '. . A Tarn Which Goes to Prove That Bark ing . Dogs Do Bite Sometimes Still Some Savage Brutes Don't Waste Much Time In Barking When Out for Blood. No one-had spoken at the club for about an hoar when a raconteur rose to the occasion. Laying aside his pipe with a look of regret he began: It's a popular saying that barking dogs don't bite. Like other popular say ings this is a fallacy and misleading. Barking dogs do not bite while they are barking, but there is only one species of canine that sneaks np to you and takes hold without, saying a word. That is the Scotch collie,' which inherits its habit of silent biting from a sheep nipping an cestry." ."''"" "Story! . story!" called out the. pres ident. '.'Story? . 'God bless you! I have none to tell, sir,' " quoted the raconteur, re membering his classics; "this is only a memory of two dogs, accursed ' brutes, that lived with an unfriendly man on a hill, over which the postroad was laid. This man, who was a Cain among his fellows, kept two savage mastiffs, who not only barked but bit whenever it was possible. I was courting my first wife u"p there in the Cumberland mountains in British North America, where this happened, and had to pass the house regularly. I drove a blooded mare that went like a bird, and the dogs were no match for her, but it was very annoying to have them follow me down the hill for a mile or more barking and yelping like demons. They would bark at the stage coaches and run long distances after them, but the passengers were safe inside and the driver and those on the outside were too high for them to reach. But I heard frequent stories' of their at tacking men, and being beaten off with sticks and stones! I asked why they were not killed and my answer was always the same, a shrug of the should ers and the remark: 'You don't know the kind of. man their owner is.'. It seemed that he lived alone with his dogs, and people feared him so maca they dare not go to him to complain or call in the provincial laws to .help them. A TERRIBLE CHASE. "A crisis came, when one day I took my sweetheart out for a sleigh ride in a low pung belonging to her father, to which was harnessed my own snve and swift footed mare. It was a lovely day and we expected to make a safe and rapid descent of the mountain, a dis tance of ten or twelve miles. The air was crisp and cold, the sleighing fine, and we skimmed . up the ascent and reached the landing before we knew we had started. There we were met by the dogs. I think it would have ' been less difficult to have gotten rid of a pair of wolves. I dare not give my mare her head going down that long, steep declivi ty on frozen snow, and the dogs, enir boldened by the cold or maddened by repeated lashings from my whip, jumped at my companion and tore her cloak and her dress in mouthfuls. I clubbed with my whip and beat them On the head, but they did not even seem to feel my blows. Their great black and yellow frames quivered witn ferocity. Tne hair on their, backs stood np like manes; their eyeballs gleamed red and angry, and the noise they made was deafening and dis tracting. 'unr i exclaimed, why naven t l a pistol: " 'Look in the box under the seat,' cried my companion; whose lace was blanched. "I looked quickly, and found a - rusty double barreled horse pistol of a make of forty years ago. ." 'Is it loaded?1 1 asked. '. - ".'Yes, but don't shoot. If yon do that man will kill your ' ': .."TWO. SHOTS FIXED THEM. v "ji rememoer . tmniang now like a woman it was to tell me where to find the pistol and then ask me not to shoot. ;"I laid.' the reins loose on the mare's back and; away she went like the wind, beyond my control now;, and I knew she would never stop tillsshe was a mile be yond the level ground at the foot of the hilL "If the pung held together; if nothing made the mare 'swerve from the direct line; if, in fact if Providence .kept an eye on us, and the breeching didn't break, we might escape breaking our necks. I looked back and saw the dogs gaining on us, even at that mad gait then I took aim and fired. Bang! Bang! There were two dark objects lying prone on the snowy road, and - as quick as she could gather her feet under her my mare stopped in her tracks.: She was trained to the use of a gun. "But my companion urged me to hur ry on, and we were soon down the in cline and beyond the- reach of recogni tion or pursuit, and strange to . say no one but' our two selves ever " knew who killed those dogs. : We' heard the most 'marvelous accounts of the slaughter, the weapon varying irom a mneen Anne musket to a cannon, but dead they were as door nails, and their reign of terror over. I imagine their owner did not care to venture out to avenge their death. I drove boldly past the house every day, Taut was never molested or even suspect ed. , But J. often heard their unknown slayer praised and j applauded for the deed which rid the 'neighborhood of their hateful presence."

Harper's Bazar, CHASED BY Bad Blooci Impure or vitiated blood Is nin6 timQ3 out of ten .caused by some furin of cousUpadoii orrindiges- tion that ctoga up the system, when the blood naturally be comes impregnated with the ef fete matter. TbeoldSarsaparillas attempt to reach this condition by attacking the blood with the drastic mineral potash." The potash theory Is old and obsolete. Joy's Vesetable Sarsaparilla is moderu. It goes to the scat of tho trouble. It arouses tho liver, klduofs and bowels to health ful action, and invigorates the circulation, and tbe impurities are quickly carried off through the natural channels.

A Revelation, t Tpw people know that th i right bluish-green color of the ordinary teas exposed In' the windows is not the cat-; ural color. Unpleasant as the fact may be. it is nevertheless artificial: mineral coloring matter being used for this purpose. The effect Is two fold. It not only makes the tea a bright, shiny green, bat also permits the M of " off-color and worthless teas, which, onee under the green cloak, are readily worked off as a good quality of tea. An eminent Authority writes on this sub ject: "The manipulation of poor teas, to give them a finer appearance, is carried cn exteu : lively. , Green teas, being in this .country especially popular, are produced to meet the demand by coloring cheaper black kinds by glaxing or facing with Prussian blue tumeric. . gypsum, and indigo. Thit method it to gen--eraX that very little genuine uncolored green teat it offered Jot tale."
