WHEN B78Y CAME, When baby came, she brought with her A lot of freight the angela carried; New Joys within our breasts to stir. New blessedness that long has tarried. Her father felt his arm grow strong. Another life on his depending; Her mother's heart was full of song. From dawn until the daylight's ending. When baby came, the purse was lean. And small the home, the roof but lowly. But wealth was brought by hands unseen. And all the place grew bright and holy, A wealth of lore, of truth, of hope. Those tiny fingers clasped, possessing A secret, heaTen had deigned to ope And pour on us in rains of blessing. When baby came, we proudly walked; Our house was fairer than a palace. And inly, as we thought and talked. We slipped life's cup, a honeyed chal ice. We had no fear, we had no grief. The millionaire was poor beside us; So glad were we. beyond belief. At this great gift that did betide us. Everywhere. m-l -H M M I ! ! t M -M CHANGING HIS NAME. ? IHII llIll I t- EBQRA.H HAN"COCK was bus ily engaged in decorating her birthday cake. She sighed as pbe placed the last candle, one more than the previous year. How fast these little waxen milestones seemed to mul tiply! Several years before, when the whole surface of the cake was so thickly stud ded that she could find no place for the new taper, Miss Hancock paused to ponder. Was not 35 a good age at which to lose count? The temptation was great But all false pretense was abhorrent to the sturdy Hancock nature. Prevarication ieven to one's self was not to be toler ated. And what folly could equal in silliness that of attempting to conceal one's age? The tapers were red, white and blue. The republic and Miss Deborah cele brated the anniversary of their birth upon the same day. A light tap sounded at the door. De borah carefully locked her pantry door before admitting her visitor. ' "Mother wants to know if you won't "DOESN'T THE HONORABLE MODIFY THE SMITH A LITTLE?" go over to the picnic with us to-mor- 10W." "Me go to the picnic! Why, Ellen Ann, I ain't been to a picnic for twen ty years! Thank your ma, but " "Oh, do come, Miss Deb. You know, we're going to celebrate the incorpora tion of Hilton, as well as the Fourth." "Come in and think it over." With a blush aud giggle the girl cast a backward glance over her shoulder. "I can't come in to-night. But you be ready and we'll stop for you in the morning." Miss Deborah followed the girl's glance and smiled as she causjht sight of a dark figure lurking in the shadow of the lilacs by the fence. "Oh, it's Joel," she said. Ellen Ann giggled. Perhaps It was the remembrance of her own' unfinished rouiauce which made her heart particularly tender to ward all lovers. Be that as it may, she was the village confidante. Many awk ward youths and shy maids blessed her for the kindly way in which 6he sped their wooing. The next morning when Ellen Ann's brother with a flourish brought his hay wagou to a stand before Miss Debor ah's door, he found her waiting, lunch basket beside her. The exercises were opened by a long and fervent prayer by Parson Elihu Griflin. Then the schoolmaster, a spare, stoop-shouldered young man, with a pe culiar Intonation which made the thin ness of his voice painfully apparent, delivered the "Declaration of Independ ence." Then the whole assemblage awoke the echoes with "My Country, 'Tis of Thee," and the people cheered again. Then Squire Cooper, who had been re cently elected to office, rose and made some remarks, but detecting signs of restlessness among the younger people. he brought his remarks down to the pith of his address. "Fellow Townspeople: I have a sur prise to store for you. Hearing that this day was to be of especial Interest to the inhabitants of his birthplace, one of our ons who has made a name for himself In the political world, yet has still re tained in his heart a warm regard for his old home, has come down to Join in our festivities, and has consented to make a few remarks. Friends, I ask you to Join me In welcoming Hon. John Smith." Thecheering mercifully drowned Miss Deborah's painful little gasps of con sternation. No one noted her pale face, All eves were upon their illustrious townsman. Hon. John Smith did not detain his hearers long. He referred to the fact that they were all more eager to attend to the contents of their well-filled hampers than to anything he might have to say. He :ilso said that he was anxious to leave the platform and come down among them and seek out and shake hands with the old friends. Deborah felt that she must go away by herself and recover her lost equ.m iniity. Seizing upon two palls, she insisted upon going to the spring for water. She started off briskly, but be hind the first clump of bushes she MONUMENT TO THE Vi' tyHWaBsBHHHHsHUMHl COL. DRAKE, HIS MONUMENT AND HIS FIRST OIL WELL. At Titusville, Pa., a $50,000 monument, in memory of CoL Edwin M. Drake, thediseoverer of petroleum, has been unveiled. The profound mystery which has surrounded the building of the monument in honor of one whose name was la danger of being forgotten adds to the interest attaching to the ceremony. It has been the whim of the giver to conceal his identity until after hia own death and his secret has been well kept, but public opinion has centered upon Henry H. Rogers of the Standard Oil Co. as the probable donor. The monument is an imposing and beautiful structure of granite. Work on the structure began in the summer of 1889, and has continued ever since. A massive bronze allegorical figure of an oil driller forms the central piece of the monument. Col. Drake died in Bethlehem, Pa., in November, 1880, and was buried In the cemetery at that place, where a modest headstone marks his resting place. It is probable now, however, that his remains will be removed to Titusville and reinterred under the shadow of the monument which commemorates his services to the world. cast aside the pails and sat down to give her thoughts full sway. Miss Deborah smiled as she contem plated the mental pictures of her y.outh ful self. Thore she stood in her girl ish pride, her head saucily atilt. and a misclfievous light in her eyes. But the smile was quickly followed by a sigh, as ever faithful memory drew the outline of a tall, awkward country boy, who stood beside the maid. Ah, now, the girl's lips parted, and, bending her head, Miss Deborah hears the sound of a light laugh. At the sound the youth frowns, then speaks. "Dan Quincy is a common feller, and the girl I've kept steady company with sha'n't dance with him." Again the girl laughs, and then in mocking tone replies: "A common feller, is he? Well, hia name ain't as common as some I know of, John Smith." "If yer ashamed of my name now, what'll ye be when it's, yer own?" "Who says I'll ever bear any such common name as John Smith? If I was you I'd ask the legislature to help me to a finer name." "Do you mean that, Deb?" "Yes, I do." Thus Deborah declared her independ ence. She supposed John would come around that evening and "make up," as he had done so often before, but no, he had gone away from Hilton without a word. At this point her reverie was broken in upon by the voice Deborah had list ened to so long. 'Why, Miss Hancock, what are you doing here all alone?" "I was going for water," Deborah fal tered, pointing to the forgotten pails. "Down to the old spring? I'll go and help you. 1 haven't forgotten the way. I believe I remember every incident of my life here. Do you remember the pic nic Just before I went away?" Deborah nodded. "Do you know I've often thought of that day. You see, I took your advice and went to the legislature. It took time, but I finally reached there. But I decided that if I could obtain a handle to my name It would answer Just as well as if I changed It." "I'm afraid I was rude," Deborah stammered. "It was the best rudeness I ever en countered. It made me leave here, oth erwise I suppose 1 should have lived right along in the groove made by my ancestors. I have always been grateful for your scorn. It hurt dreadfully at first, but I came to see the other side of the question." John talked of this and that, but sud denly he seemed to become aware of his companion's silence. He glanced at her and In a whimsical tone said: "Deborah, doesn't the honorable mod ify the Smith a little?" "What does a name matter, anyway?" Deborah asked. Impatiently; "but here we are at the spring." "If the name doesn't matter. Deb. per haps you'll not scorn to share it with me now. Will you, dear?" and the Congressman bent down low to look under Dboral' hat. "John, there's Ellea Aim staring at us," and with a blush Mfea Dbora& withdrew her hand, but not until she had returned the pressure of the one which held it. The Home. A MUSICAL PRODIGY. Traveled with Jenny Lind and Earned $80,000 Before He Was 14. Joseph Burke, who died In New York a few days ago. had a wonderful ca reer. He was born in Galway. Ireland, In ISIS. As an in fant he developed the most remarka ble talent both musically and his trionically. At the a:;e of 3 he was an accomplished vio linist aud he tour ed the principal cities of Ireland. At the age of 5 he anoeared on the Dublin stage, aud ,OSErH BCKKE then went to London, playing at the English Opera House and the Hay market. After a tour of England he returned to London. For three years, beginning in 1S27, he played almost continuously the leading roles of many of Shakspeare's plays aud performed in comedy, opera and burlesque. He also appeared iu tragedy. He drew crowded houses and was entertained at Brighton by George IV. At the age of 12 he came to the Uuited States and his histrionic successes in Ireland aud En rl:md were renented in New York. Pb.il- I adelphia and Boston, and other Auieri I can cities and In Canada. Besid play V ft ' DISCOVERER OF OIL 'I Ing the principal roles in Shakspeare he appeared in a number of pieces which had been especially written for him. Before he was 14 he had earned $80,000. In 1840 he left the stage and studied law In the office of Gov. William K. Marcy and was admitted to thebar In 1843. The following year he went to Europe to perfect his musical education and, returning to the States, gave con certs in the principal cities. Soon after ward he moved here and boughtSumer ville farm, a few miles from the city. In 1850, when Jenny LIud visited America under the management of P. T. Barnum to make her concert tour. Mr. Burke was secured to play the solos in the concerts and lead the or chestra. Her contract with Barnum called for her appearance 150 nights at $1,000 a night After she had given seventy-five concerts she canceled her contract, forfeiting to Mr. Barnum. Then she toured independently, Mr. Burke acting as her private secretary and treasurer as well as orchestra lead er. A warm friendship sprang up be tween the two and one of the "night ingale's" gifts to Mr. Burke was a $t)00 violin. When he severed his connec tion with Miss Lind he became a musi cal instructor in New York and was for years president of the New York Phil harmonic Society. Twenty years ago he retired from active life and had since spent bis summers In Batavia. His winters he spent in New York and Washington. Mr. Burke was never married. Tho Nervous New Yorker. One of the most marked outward manifestations that the New Yorker gives of the high nervous tension under which he lives is his habit of talkiug aloud to himself in the street. This habit is one of the first things that ob servers of street life in New York no tice. It Is a form of nervousness that is due not only to the high pressure at which so many New Yorkers are kept, but to the noise of the street trafBc. When the rush and rumble of the streets is so great that a man "cannot hear himself think," he speaks his thoughts aloud. It Is only rarely that a woman is observed doing this. Some times the man who is talking to him self, If he is happy, will mumble only phrases and half sentences audibly. If he is angry or deeply concerned he will speak steadily and sometimes make emphatic gestures. But nearly all of the men who talk aloud in the streets have their business affairs uppermosw in their minds, and the word "dollars" Is the one that is of tenest heard. Down town, in the financial section, this habit of a large number of New Yorkers is particularly noticeable, but one may observe it in almost any part of the town. Parts Is possibly the only other one of the great cities of the world where the habit is so noticeable as it is here. Actors and writers and the many minor poets of the French capital may be seen declaiming their lines or verses, unheeding their observers. New York Evening Post, Darning on Sewing Machines. "Tesxs ad warn place in cloth fab ric can be uafuc n-oirt oatToisrfly on the sewing machine," writes Maria Parloa, in the Ladies' Home Journal. "Thread the machine with silk or cot ton of the same color as the fabric. Do not loosen the presser foot; have the stitch of moderate length; begin the stitching a little beyond the damaged place. For places that are worn thin or frayed put in rows of stitching, close together. Cross these with other rows of stitching; this will give a smooth, fine texture. Where the fabric is worn thin baste a piece of the same kind of goods on the wrong side, and darn over it If there is none of the same ma terial a piece of net or muslin will an swer. If the colors In the fabric are mixed, have the upper thread of the machine of the most pronounced and the under thread of the minor color." Missouri's Earth-Products.

The inauguration of the first water works ever built in Jerusalem since those of Solomon were destroyed by the Moslem conquerors took place recently. For about twelve centuries the city has been dependent on rain water gathered in open cisterns, and this sup ply, in addition to lis insufficiency. In volving an annual water famine in the dry season, engendered fevers and oth er epidemics caused by the filthy con diiton of the cisterns. Spring water carried by rail was sold in Jerusalem at about 54 piastres for 1,500 pints. The exceptional severity cf the. famine of last spring and sum mer caused the first water works to be undertaken. Operations were begun in July, and have been pushed forward with " such unwonted energy that an aqueduct six kilometers long, with eleven kilometers more of iron piping, had been completed for the inaugural ceremony. The three springs southwest of Bethlehem, about three hours' jour ney from the city, which fed Solo mon's aqueduct and yielded a consid erable supply before the mountains were denuded of their forests, now yield only about eight pints a second in the dry season. Thanks to the new works, about eoo.000 pints of pure spring water are carried daily to the upper city. The lower parts are not yet so favorably circumstanced. The new supply is free and is provided by fountains, some situated in the Mosque of Omar and others outside the city. There was a brilliant inaugural ceremony, the vail setting the first Jet to work, and a large company, after drinking the wa ter, offered prayers that the sultan might be long preserved. Pall Mall Gazette. A Serious Delect, Paderewski Joseffy Fortissimo Lee Was the greatest pianist you ever did see; He rendered fantasias, gavottes and can tatas. Cadenzas and overtures, fugues and sona tas. He could play like the sweep of a rush ing cyclone, Or as softly and low as the south wind's faint moan. He knew ail the works of Beethoven and Liszt. Of Wagner and Chopin not one had he missed. He gained honors and laurels wherever he went. And he knew he deserved them, so he was content. But his pride had a fall, for one summer day A dear little girl came to hear this man play; And she said, as he turned politely to . greet her. "Please, sir, can you play 'Peter, Peter, Pumpkin Eater'?" He was deeply chagrined, and he felt very blue. But he meekly replied, "No, I can't dear. Can you?" "Oh, yes," she responded. She flew to the keys. With her two fat forefingers she played it with ease. And she afterward said, "I would rather be me Than Paderewski Joseffy Fortissimo Lee." Judge. Fearless Bishop Whipple. Henry Benjamin Whipple, the late Bishop of Minnesota, will be known as the friend of American Indians, second only to John Eliot He was a stout champion of the rights of the red men, and never flinched in his purpose to reform the abuses of the agents. "Not long after the Cheyenne and Chlvlngton massacres." says Prof. W. W. Folwell. in the American Monthly Review of Reviews. "In which white men had shown Indians their superior ity In the art of murder, the bishop prepared a report on 'The Moral and Temporal Condition of the Indian Tribes on Our Western Borders.' In it he exposed the folly of our traditional Indian policy, portrayed the infamous behavior of agents and traders, and the connivance of men of fair names with their rascality. "On his journey to New York the bishop read from this to gentlemen, who counseled him to suppress this ar raignment of distinguished persons, suggesting that it might result in per sonal Injury. Instantly came the reply: " 'These things are true. The nation needs to know them; and, so help me God, I will tell them if I am shot the next minute!" When Endurance Rebelled. The hospitality of Scotland is quite as well established as the hospitality of Ireland, but the canulness of the Scot, which has passed into a proverb, is most likely to assert itself at any stage. As the Scotsman tells this story, 1 it cannot be suspected of proving false ; to its own countrymen: An Irish friend insisted that a Scotch man should stay at bis house instead of a hotel, and bent him there for a mouth, ! p'mjir.g tiia host in detatf. eva to treat j Jng him to all places of amusement paying all the cab fares ana tne rest When the visitor was returning to Dunedin, the Irishman saw him down to the steamer, and they went together to have a last cigar.

MILITARY CAREER OF JACKSON. Treatsd Hli Men with Harahneas. tint They Worshipped Him Of all the careers in our army there is no parallel to that of Jackson. He treated his militia with the utmost harshness, but they worshipped him and rendered such service for him as no other general ever got out of them, says Gen. Francis V. Greene In Scrlb ner's. He was the terror of his superiors In Washington, his only idea of discipline being the enforcement of his own will against those above him as well as those under him; but he had such a hold on the people by reason of his strength of character, his integrity, and his great deeds, that no one dared to call hi-n to account for any of his acts. His fighting was always against In dians, except in his one brief cam paign at New Orleans; the theater of his campaign was a six-mile plot, where there was no opportunity for strategy or grand tactics, or the exer cise of any of the qualities of general ship except one; he selected aud forti fied a position about 1,000 yards long, with one' flank on the river and the other on a swamp, and the enemy dashed himself to pieces against it. But his enemy was the best regular troops in Europe, who had defeated the plans of Napoleon In Spain. Jack son crushed them, and this one fact blots out all his mistakes and leaves him unperishable fame as a great sol dier. The war with Mexico, whether Just or unjust from a political standpoint. Is one of the most brilliant pages in tha history of the army. While a large number of volunteers were called out II was fought In the main by the regular army, and with scarcely a reverse from start to finish. The commanding gen erals were still young enough for ac tive service, but they had all had mili tary experience in the war of 1812 and the Indian campaigns; and the regi ments were filled in the lower grades with intelligent, ambitious and well educated cadets from West Point, of whom over 1,100 had been graduated between 1817, when Thayer became superintendent, and 1845.
