'I bring not houses, lands, or pold,
To give, sweetheart, to theo;
No richer than I was of old,
Am I to-day," quoth he.
In sooth ho looked his poverty,
If ever so did ono;
In rags and tatters clad was he,

It was her love of long ago
Who look her outstretched hands;
"If you arc ho I used to know,
I seek not (,'ohl or lands.
If you hut lovo mo still, sweetheart,
I am content," cried sho;
"I will kharo your lowly part,
For I your bride will bo I"
"Then, by my troth, my heart Is thlno I"
Quoth ho at her reply,
"Though rags and tnttcrs may bo mine,
No beggar now ara I.
I'm richer than with gold and lands'
Tho proudest monarchs be,
With thee for mluo, and theso two hands
To work, sweetheart, for thee!"

LILIES AN J) JIOSES.
Why tho Former Aro Preferred by
Somo People
"I know what that nirans, before
Klsio goes," Haiti Ruth Murdoch, as the
trim maid sot tho rolls on tho luncheon
table, and went ofl" to answer the bell.
'Well, what is it that has turned my
daughter into a prophetess?" said tho
doctor, (smiling fondly at Huth over hid
teacup.
"Vh', to-night is the night of Daisy
Hammond's party, and it's time my
flowers appeared."
"Oil, you thought you'd 'temper the
wind to tho (thorn lamb' by making
somobotly else pay for tho bouquet?
Well, that was eonsiderato of you,"
will Dr. Murdoch crossed tho hall and
entered his oilieo just as Klsio re-
appeared witli a long white box.
Gentle Mrs. Murdoch leaned on her
daughter's shoulder as tho girl took oil
tho Jifisuo coverings which protected
.the dainty blossoms from tho January
cold. At tho bottom of tho box lay a
rcniny mass of Maroehal Niels, galh-
Jn thoirhrst perfection. Mrs. Murdoch
listened for Ruth's exclamation of de
light, but it did not come. Instead,
lifter a brief look, and a slight but
(significant smile, the owner of the box
closed it with a bang, and placing it on
tho table, turned to leae the room.
"Aren't you going to put your roses
in wtiler?" called her mother after her.
"You may sot them in the library, if
you choose. 1 am not going to wear
tJiom to-night," was tho reply; and
Huth went upstairs.
Mrs. Murdoch had been educated in
tho days when whistling was no part of
a girl's education, so she simply uttered
tho gootl old-time expression of aston
, Ifihmont "Well, 1 never!" and proceed
ed to take euro of tho roses. Tho
trouble was certainly no disappoint
ment as to the sender, for Mrs. Mur
doch had caught a glimpse of tho card
with tho line "Fdward Leslie, Mt D.,"
ngravod in the center; and only last
night sho and tho doctor had decided
that Until was becoming too fond of
young Ned Leslie. They had no ob
jection to the handsome young fellow
who had already gathered the next
best practice in town to Dr. Murdoch's;
but they were far from ready to give
up their only datiglitei. There had
been no chance for a quarrel since
Ruth had announced that she and Dr.
Leslie were going to this German to
gether, so tlio situation might well
puzzle Mrs. Murdoch's brain.
That tho innocent Mareehal Niels
wore themselves the source of the mis
chief never entered her imagination.
Hut such was really tho ease, and this
is the way it till happened: Tho night
before, Dr. Leslie had called at tho
Murdochs', and tho principal topio of
conversation had been the next even
ing's entertainment. As he rose to go,
ho had asked Ruth, with a touch of in
tention in his tone, what color sho was
to wear to the Herman.
"Oh, my dress is oroam-colored oropo
do Chine, and 1 must have lilies of the
valley to go with it," sho answered
gayly; and since both at home anil in
Uridgovlllo society her word was law,
fcho had confidently expected tho lilies.
Of course, they must bo costly in Jan
nary, and Neil Leslie was not rich like
many of the circle in which sho moved;
but Dr. Murdoch's daughter know
nothing of the practical inconvonienco
of tho lack of money. She was more
likely to think that careful expendi
tures meant moannoss a fault which
her generous soul abhorred; and all
her liking for young Leslie could not
oovor the dire fact that ho had sent
roses when sho had asketl for lilios.
For a few moments she sat in hor
easy chair considering tho problem;
thou sho donned out-of-door costume
and went slowly downstairs. Mrs.
Murdoch had a second shock of aston
ishment when her daughter appeared
at tho library door, mutllcd in sealskin
and asketl if there were any orrnuds
down town.
"I should think," sho said, "that you
would save up for to-night, instead oi
going out into tho bitter cold. Let
mo send Dennis for whatever you
want."
"Unless you havo some wants, 1
have but one errand, mamma, and
Dennis could hardly tlo that. Good
bye," and tho heavy front door
slammed behind her.
"That ono errand inufit bo a very
amusing one," meditated Mrs. Mur
doch; "she looked brimful of fun.
What she's up to I ouu't make out,"
and site gave a little felgh.

illuminated when Ruth returned, hall J

"One, two, three, four, five, six,"
said her father, who had come in be
hind her. "Is your allowance played
out. Rulhie? 1 might havo advanced
you a few cents in consideration of tin
party."
"No, thank yon, papa; I am a long
way from being insolvent Since 1 gave
up caramels I am quite a capitalist;"
and Ruth vanished to takeoff her wrap
pings. That night when she came down stairs
dressed for tho party the carriage was
already there, ami Dr. Leslie and the
cWler physician wore in the library talk
ing about endemic fevers. She had
brought down several vards of cream-
colored ribbon of the width which fash
ion dictated as tho proper one for tying
bouquets. Dr. Murdoch looked on won
deringly as ho watched Ruth tie the
huge bow around the tiny stems of the
lilies site had bought in tho after
noon. He wtis about to silently
conclude that this was tho latest
absurdity of feminine fashion, when he
caught sight of Leslie's crimson face,
and Ruth's demurely mischievous air.
"Will you tako my bouquet, please?
I believe I am all ready now," said she,
tendering tho ridiculous posy to Dr.
Leslie. "Gootl night, papa, or tiro you
going to sit up for me?" and tho two
people started for the door.
Leslie took tho Jlowors and escorted
Miss Murdoch to the carriage. He
entered after her, and shut tho door
with a single bang, instead of tho half-
dozen usually required by livery vehi
cles.
"Miss Murdoch, where are your
roses?" said he quietly as tho cab rolled
otr.
"I took them back to the llorist, and
this is what I got for them," was tho
calm answer; and the lilies were held
for a moment in tho light from the
carnago lamp, "i wanted lilies, and
the qtutntity would make no difl'erencc,
as every body would know who sent
them. J here was a very little sup
pressed triumph in tho tone, but
othenviBo it was perfectly common
place.
For 11 moment or two neither spoke;
then Dr. Leslie said slowly: "Kxcepl
that it would seem that 1 have been
lacking in respect to your wishes, the
public mortification would matter very
little to me. I wanted to send you tho
lilies, Miss Murdoch, but they asked
twenty dollars for a bunch of rospect
ablesize, and this Meek I havo to make
the last payment of tho money l bor
rowed for my education. 1 havo strug
gled hard to fn;o myself from this debt,
that 1 might honorably oiler you my
love. J ought not to speak of this, but
I hail to toll you that your slightest
wish was dearer to 1110 than life than
all but honor. Why, Miss Murdoch!
why, Ruth!" in a changed tone, for tho
girl had burst into passionate tears,
"(hall I oiilor the cab to drive home?"
"N-o," sobbed Ruth. "I didn't
know about those debts. 1
thought you were m-mean and I'd
teach you a lesson. I tlo want
to to " hut tho sentence was lost in
the noise of tho cab, and one seat was
unoccupied tho rest of the way.
When Dr. Leslie met Ruth at the
dressing-room door he thought thatshe
was lovelier than ever, in spite of tho
peculiar appearance of Iter lashes. The
long ribbon had disappeared, anil the
lilies were tucked in hor belt in tin art
ful fashion which did not even faintly
suggest that there should have been
more of them.
It was a beatific evening for at least
two of Miss Hammond's guests, and
when it was over there was another
happy half-hour in the library with Dr.
Murdoch. Huth related the story of the
lilios, and Dr. Leslie told of his hard boy
hood and his student years, how Ruth
hail doubled the value of life by asking
for half of the modest income which he
hail finally gained. The doctor laughed
over the first story, but was very sober
during tho second. At the end he
looked at the carpet, and said huskily:
"I don't know that I can tlo any
tiling;" then, with a smile, "Ruthio has
taken things into her own hands, as
usual, anil 1 am very glad that you
sound on the question of typhoid."
Of course, after a few months, Dr.
Murdoch's old sign was taken down,
and a new ono, rending "Murdoch &
Leslie," was put in its place; and of
course, too, when the junior partner
wants to please his wife lie brings, not
lilies of the valley, but Mareehal Niels.

Claus Sprockels, the man who is sup
posed to own the Hawaiian Islands
among other liltlo tilings, is here, and
is one of the most noted men in town.
Sprockels is a stout man. with wiiitc
hair and beard. His most striking feat
ure is his eyes, and such eyes they are.
They aro gray anil blue at times, and
M'oin to look right through you. He
speaks with a slight German accent
and uses gestures freely to emphasize
his remarks. Ho said to the correspond
ent: "I am at a loss to understand the
apathy of tho people of the United
States towards tho Hawaiian Islands,
Naturally in the course of time they
would become it part of the domain of
tins country, and they will, too, if we
would only fake some interest in the
great properties owned by Americans
there. It is the most glorious climate
in the world. Tho temperature never

tion."
"How about leprosy?"
"I can tell you as much about leprosy
as any other man, but really I do not
pretend to understand it. Tho lepers
are banished to tin island, from whence
they aro never allowed to return. No
hotly has ever been able to learn
how leprosy originated or how it
can be cured. It appears in the
most curious waj's, and leaves men anil
women untouched who have sullbred tho
greatest exposure. Tho most striking
instance of this fact is tlio case of tho
present Queen of Hawaii. The Kinr
is her second husband. Her first hus
band was a leper, and her two children
by him both died by tho horrible dis
ease, and yet she is a perfectly healthy
woman. Nobody knows how leprosy
is communicated. Tho most, eminent
authorities who havo looked into tho
subjoetcontend that itis not contagious.
Several years ago a white man was
condemned to death for a murder
which ho had committed. Tlio au
thorities allowed him to choose be
tween being executed or passing into
the hands of a noted German physician
for experimental purposes. Tlio crimi
nal cheerfully chose tin; latter. Ho
was inoculated time and timo again
with leprosy, but tho disease had no ef
fect upon him, and to-day he is as
healtly a man as there ig on tiie
islands. Leprosy tioes not often attack
tlio white nice, for out of tho thousands
of eases there aro to-tlav onlvabouta
half dozen Caucasians. These aro facts
beyond dispute. In my judgment
Kngland will take somo very aggressive
measures to obtain possession of the
islands before many years. Tho native
race is rapidly dying out, and it is a
question of a very short time before the
country will pass under tho control of
a foreign power." Washington Cor.

Having a fancy is ono thing. Per
ceiving an ideal is quite another thing.
To fitnev that one, of whom wo know
but little, is faultless, or that ho is
above all ordinary planes of conduct
and thought and feeling, is to deceive
ourselves, and is to prepare tlio way
for a bitter disappointment when tho
truth in the ease shall fairly be known.
Hut to recognize in another tho very
highest standards of purpose ami 011
doiivor of which wo havo any idea, as
purely human standards, is to bo in
structed and inspired in the direction
of those standards; -and no disclosure
of that person's failure to attain to his
own evident standards will lower the
ideal which he represents to us in pre
senting those ideals. As applied to
those toward whom wo are attracted, a
fancy is what wo think another to bo;
an ideal is what we see that another
wants to be, and would have us to bo.
Tho fancy in suoh a case is unreal; but
the ideal is tho roalost thing in tho
world. Whore tho unreal fancy de
ceives, the actual ideal inspires. Yet

LEBEL RIFLE.
Descriptive;
Arcotint of the New .Ann of (he
Trench Army.
Tlio Lebel ritie, as the new arm is
called, was invented by Lieutenant
Colonel Lebel, principal of the artillery
school at Chalons. Its remarkable
qualities are lightness, long range tint!
extraordinary penetrating power. Ac
cording to tho scientific researches ol
the mathematician, Prof. Ilebler, it
was supposed that tho absolutely per
fect annv rille should be a weapon
with a caliber of preci.-ely seven mill
imeters. The Lebel ritlc has not co
small ti caliber, but oilers the nearest
approach to it yet made viz.: Kight
millimeters. Witli this caliber tho ad
vantages arc: a lighter cartridge; a
greater penetrating power, and a much
less liability of the missile to be devi
ated from its course by a strong wind.
The ball is so covered with steel and
brass, as to enable it to preserve its
form and to follow precisely the
giDoves of the barrel. Its initial ve
locity is exactly 100 meters per second
greater than that of the Gras rille,
which had an initial velocity of 450
meters, while tho Lebel boasts a ve
locity of 540 meters. It revolves upon
itself .1,000 times per second always
traveling point first. At a ilist tiiee ol
1,800 meters its tire is as fatal as within
ii lesser distance; and as tho line of the
projectile is almost perfectly straight,
extraordinary hits can be made
tit immense ranges. To obviate the
shook of recoil consequent upon so
prodigious an expelling force, a special
powder litis been invented by Colonel
Hrugere, which detonates progressively
without smoke and with comparatively
little noise. Tlio shooter feels the
weapon pu-h does not feel a sudden
and painful jar. Throe wooden shields
plaeetl at about twenty-live yards apart
wore easily pierced in a straight line by
one rilleshot the ball traveling on live
hundred meters further without chang
ing its course to strike tlio outlying
target, aimed at precisely in tiie center.
Tlio movable breech piece is .shorter
than in the Gras rille, but idlers a
greater resistance and tho recoil fol
lows the ttxis of tiie weapon.
On finding themselves in possession
of so extraordinary an arm, it was for
some time a question witli the military
authorities whether or not to adopt it
in its simplest, form, as the best of
single-shot breech loaders. Rut as
Austria is adopting tlio Maunlioher re
peater, Italy tho Vitali repeater, Ger
many tiie Mauser magazine gun, it
seemed neees.aiy to make tho Lebel
a repeater also; as troops tinned witli a
single shot rille only, however good,
would easily beeonie demoralized by
the mere conviction that they were
face to face with enemies armed with
magazine guns. English Paper.
