THfc FUNNY MAN'S BABY.
Tlie funny wan wont to his desk to wrltu
He had watched all day, he would writ
night
And tlnleb his work.so he trimmed the Unlit.
In the room adjoining his baby lay,
And they said she was slowly passing away,
And would die ere the IlgLt of another day.
bo he wrote with his heart In the other room,
And he thought ol the baby going out In
the gloom
To the shadowy laud beyond the toiub.
It was hard to write with death so nigh,
But he ground out Jokes as the hours went
by,
And he elosed each page with a grioi-born
sigh.
It was hard to write but the world must
laugh,
So he penned the rhyme and the paragraph,
And oven a humorous epitaph !
His pen (lew fait and the hours went on
Till his night of loll was almost gone.
And the east showed the tlrst lulnt strcuks
of dawn.
Thon he dropped his pen an.: raised his
head;
"Now the column Is finished," the funny

And the nurse comlnar in, said, "the baby is
dead."

WILD AND WILFUL.
Floyd Warren, grave, handsome,
aristocratic from uia loosely curling
blouii balr to nig well-shaped feet,
stood leaning against the olive velvet,
criiusou-and-gold-aud-blue embroider-ed
lambrequin that draped the mantel
Iu his sister's pretty boudoir, and list-ened,
without the vestige of a smile,to
her energetic remarks, although a cu-riously
mischievous spirit lurked in
his hazel eyes.
"It's too horribly reckless for any-thing
!" Mrs. St. Cyr exclaimed, fan-ning
herself. "Engaged to a girl you
know so little about! Oh, Floyd,
Floyd, I would never have imagined
you could be so Billy!"
Then Mr. Warren smiled, and al-tnough,
as a rule, men, and men of
thirty-five years, do not particularly
enjoy a "going over" by their slaters,
be resigned himself with amused pa-tience
to his temporary punishment.
So he stood his ground, his arms
folded, leaning lightly airalnst the
mantel and looked down upon Mis
St. Cyr—p.etty, goldeu-haired.bright-t-
yeU, and a year old matron of twen-ty-!
wo.
"No, I dou't suppose I know much
more about her than Philip did when
be married you, lieth, but—we all
have to take our risks, you know."
"But to think she is a poor, common
girl "
"Not quite," he interrupted KOt.d-naturedly.
"Poor, I admit, but not
'commou' according to your rendering
of the term. She is a working-girl,and
is employed from eight to seven iu
Madam Fromard's establishment,[and
she lives in a tenement house on
Klgbtb Avenue with her parents—top
floor, too. Aud her name is Ida In -
glis. And now you know all you ate
likely to know of the future Mrs.
Floyd Warren, until she appears in
the actual role of sister-in-law to yon r
serene majesty."
Mrs. St. Cyr frowned, and a most
charming little frown It was, too.
"You are very considerate! Perhaps
you didn't know you haven't inform,
ed me that she is as beautiful as an
angel, graceful as n gazelle? They al-ways
are, you know!"
Her sarcasm fell uuheeded.
"Beautiful! Graceful! Buth you
ought to see her ! Why—"
And then Mrs. Beth shrugged her
white organdy covered sboulders.
"Spnre me, I beg."
While at the sell-same moment, in
the plain,comfortable, yet almost shab-by
'ittle parlor on the top floor of No.
999 Eighth Avenue, Mrs. Inglis, pale,
faded and jaded with the cares of life,
and forever struggling to make Impos-sible
ends meet, listening ecstatically
to Ida's announcement of an engage-ment
between herself aud Floyd War-ren.
"It's too good to De true, dear!
Ouly to think, you'll have a beauti-ful
borne, and everything you want,
and—money to buy what you need!
He is a gentleman, aud so handsome,
with position aud dignity. Ida dar-ling,
you ought to be a proud, happy
girl."
Aud then Ida laughed—aud such :i
laugh as rhe had, like rippling cas-cades
of silvery water, or the sweet,
soft murmur of a summer breeze iu u
wood—it reminded you of anything
that was lovely and merry.
'Of course I am proud aud nappy,
mamma ; nuturully a girl would be
uuder the circumstances; but mumiua,
you must not think I feel honored by
Mr. Warren's preference—no man's
gracious preferences would make me
feel that I was honored. It is I who
honor him."
And the rich cnivtoti leap-d to Ida
Inglis' ivory fair cheeks mid a defiant
flash to her eyes that Mr. Flo.yil War-reu
had certainly not seen there yet.
"Aud I had actually feared you were
becoming interested iu Paul Crawford!
I am so thankful, dear."
"Paul Crawford! As ii I ever cared
for him beyond the fact of his being
the best dune r In the crowd, mum-ma!"
"Nor would Mr. Warren approve of
him, dear ; de—"
And theu Ida stepped over and si-lenced
the mother with a loving little
kiss.
■'I just know what you mean, mam-ma
dear. FioyJ would not approve
of him, nor would I, except iu the
most xonventiouul way. But one
thing is sure mid certain, it would not
do for Floyd to presume to dictate to
me about his likings or dlsllklogs, or
my laites or distastes. He must take
me as I am, Ida Iugiis just as I la In-glis,
or—let me entirely alone."
And in answer to Mrs. Inglis' ap-palled
look Mi laughed merrily.
"I am an anomaly, am I not? And
a dreadful creature I know."
Aud with a warm glow In her heart
Ida went off to her daily work—such
uu "anomaly" really as she called her-self.
Proud, sensitive, passionate, honor-able,
truthful and Independent despite
her sensitiveness, frank and free, cold
and saroastlo by turns, she was like a
human kaleidoscope a character worth
olosesl stuily, well worth warmest in-terest
and eager \\ inning.
''Love him? Love blm?".she thought
to herself; "Indeed I lovehlra with
all my heart and soul and Strength.
The question Is—does be love me?
And can I retain him always?"
But with Floyd Warren's nature—
grave, positive, steady, and firm as a
r, i k htddi il i.i the sea—and hers, an
Inharmonious jarring was sure to
come at one time or auother.
And il cime on one August monti-ligbt
night, when Mr. Warren ptoked
Up an Invitation card lying on the ta-ble
in the Iuglls1 parlor.
"Of course you'll not go Ida?" he
said.
"What! Nit go to the moonlight
ilaoce at Pern Dal) .'"she answered
quickly. "Why shouldn't I? All the
other girls are g dng."
"It will be rather a promiscuous
crowd."
"But I am not an aristocrat," she
retorted coolly.
"No, dear, that isn't what I mean.
But—l understand the Judith sisters,
and the Orawf0rds,and the Watobleys
are among the Invited guests, and,
III i frankly, I would rather you
would not associate with such people."
A saucy, cold little smile answered
liim.
' On that point,as on several others,
wc do not agree,"
"But you won't go, Ida? To oblige
me, dearest. I ask this as a personal
favor."
If his manly patience and consider-ate
tenderness touched her she gave
no sign.
"Indeed, I'll not give it up! The
music, the moon light,the dancing, the
river— I worship them r II It will be
like a living dream —I'd not miss it
for all the world."
He looked gravely at the sweet de-
Bant face, all efluah, and asked him-self—
after all, was Beth right when
she said men so recklessly marry girls
knowing so lltt'e, really of them?
"You mnst do just as you please,
Ida. But, remember, If you go In the
very face of my disapproval, I shall
construe it into mcauing but one
thing."
And his slow patient, speech only
made [da more willful than ever.
"Go? Of course I'll go, mamma,"
she said, after Warren had gone "if
Floyd docs not like it I cannot help it!
I told you he must take me as I am,
or else leave uie!"
And go she did—the fairest,sweetest
of them all, in her white lawn dress,
so daintily made by her own deft lin-gers
and she danced to her heart's
content, laughed aud sang, while, un-der
all, she was unspeakably misera-ble.
"Haifa dozen of us are going ashore
for a iifie.'n minutes'ramble, to get
some spring water." C'ara Crawford
said. "Isn't the captain good natur-ed,
Ida ? We want you to go too.
Come?"
And not pausing to consider the
matter, Ida followed the little group
jost rushing over the gangway plank.
"Walt a minute, girls, Ciara, Isabel,
where are you?"
For in the somber darkness of the
forest that reached to the river's edge,
Ida had lost sight of the forward part
of the i arty.
"It's all right Ida, don't be iu such
a liurr.\! They've takeu a cross-cut
Clara knows of, but I'll escort you by
another road 1 know of. Take my arm
won't you?"
It vvas Paul Crawford's voice, close
to her eat—Paul Crawford,with whom
she was alone in the durrf, lonely
place.
"Tbaok you, I'm going back to the
boat," she said sharply, angrily. "1
don't like to lie here."
"With me you mean?" And he
laughed unpleasantly. "But I am of
a different opinion I like both tie
place and the company exceedingly
well, and Clara has played the game
into my hands eveu better than I dar-ed
hope. There they go now baca to
the boat—hardly bad time to sample
the spring water have they?"
At Hie same instant the whistle
shrieked,
"There Isn't a second to I se. We'd
be ic I'I! • i med breathlessly.
"Exaotly. We will be lefl Just as I
Intended ;" and be stepped In front of
Ida, planMi g himself resoluti '\ i i the
uuriow path. "You uocdu't Ireu'bl
so, [do ; we won't stay I Bre long. 1
happen to know of a very pleasant
family who live Q< I B c il from bere,
aud we'll spud the evening there,
and have the wall/, you denied me on
liit' way up. All's fair in love, you
know, my proud little duchess "
A wild shriek oarne from Ida's pale
Hi s, and I efore I er quivering mouth
had i le-cd, s tall, stalwpi'. figure step-ped
iii) in side in r, and Paul Crawford
fell like a log to the ground.
"We haven't u >< cond to It u ; ion.c
Ida!"
And Floyd Warren linked I er arm
iu his, and buirled her back Justin
time to spring nlmaid.
In a retired corner as far as it was
possible to get from the music and
dancing, Ida sat In her chair, pale,
ciyiug, iVhile Mr. Warren stood be-side
her, grav uiid pale, loo.
"How came you here"" she asked
presently.
"Because von needed a protector—
thank God I came!" be said tmpC
Ively.
"Von can never forgive me,I know,"
she sobbed. "I have been SO wild and
willful, thai I deserve the reward you
win bestow. But. Floyd, before you
say good-by forever, let me tell you
bow sorry I am! It —if—I could recall
it, 1 woull never defy your judgement
or authority agaiu!"
Aud for answer he stooped and kiss-ed
her tenderly.
"My darling, until you send me
from you, I shall never got You are
all that Is sweet, and pure, and true;
for a little wilfulne. s shall I spoil my
wl oe life?"
She gave him a look that thrilled
him from bead to foot.
"I'll never he willful again," she
answered fervently. "From this hour
you are master."
And Mis St. Cyr declares there
never was a sistt r-in-law equal to hers
lor dignity, greolousness and general
perfection, while Mr. Warren—well,
if he doesn't adore his young wife,
then no man ever did —aud not alto-gether
because i'i every action of her
life, Ida Warred shows her loyalty to
her lord and master.

NELLIE GRANT'S UNHAPPINESS.
[I.ucyil. Iloopor's London Letter.]
The American papers state, I see,
that Miss Nellie Grant Sartoris is
talking of returning to the United
States to reside. I hardly think
that s'le has found England a
pleasant dwelling-place. Her first
Impressions were formed when she
visited Europe as the daughter of "the
president of the United States, and
she was in consequence, caressed and
feted wherever she went. On her re-turn
as Mrs. Algernon Sartoris she
(bund by no mean- things so In il limit
aud agreeable. She bad been wild to
return to London, where she was so
superbly entertained, but London to
Mi-.Sai toils was not what It bad been
to Nellie Graut.
Iu the first place her father was no
ionger president of the United States,
and our "Republican Princess," as
she used to be called, was a princess
no longer, nor was she welcomed and
worshipped as such. Secondly she
had a mother-in-law—a lady who was
i,..11. u Keiiihle, a fact that implies
much. It is true that the elder Mrs.
Sartoris did -urvi ve her son's marriage
many years, out after her death her
inconsolable widower retired to strict
seclusion on his country estates,taking
with him his son and daughtor-in-law
and their children. Such an ex-istence
can hardly have been exhilar-ating
or enjoyable to an American
girl, and especially so to one whose
girlhood had been passed at the White
House ns the leading young lady of
American society.
NOT ON THE BILLS.
It was at a country hotel. The sin-gle
stranger who sat down at dinner
was amazed when the waiter handed
him a printed bill of fare which began
with oyster soup and clam chowder
aud ran down to four kinds of pie and
chocolate ice cream.
"I'd take oyster soup," said the
gi.e.-t.
"Y-e-s, hut we havu't got auy," re-plied
the waiter.
' Very well, give me clam chowder"
"We uie out of that too."
"Then bring me baked whitelish,
fried sausage, Saratoga potatoes,
French white rolls, ribs of beef, aud a
ciip of coflee."
"We bavn't got any sir, all we have
got is beefsteak, b'ileu taters, baker's
bread and O ll'ee."
At that moment the landlord enter-ed
the room and the guest called out :
".See here, landlord, what sort of a
trick is this ."'
"What? Oh, Hint bill of fare. My
dear sir let uie explain. My uncle
kept a seaside hotel anil he failed. He
had 80,000 bills of fare on band, and I
b [bt mem ai private i-ale for 12.
These are bard times—very bard—an &■
we must utiirze everything and keep
UP style 11 the same time."
'Did you hear dot Mrs. Bohacoh
Oppenheimer lell dot slheamboat oil',
when she vash going dot Coney Island
too?"
"IshdotBO?" Was she trowued?"
"Mine Goot, no. Hbevash rescued
by her husband. He chumped dot

"I tid not pelleve dot Bobacob vash

He vash a leedle schmull man,and I.is

"Yo, but vi n i-'.ie foil dot stheam-uout

"Ach so '."' — «.» .
"What Is It that keeps you writing
so lute iu your study every night i'"
asked Mrs Yergerof her hasbaod.
"1 am writing the histiry of my
life, Mrs. Verger."
"I suppose yen menlinn me iu it ?''
"On, yes; 1 cull you the stiushine ol
my existence."
"Do I really throw so much sun-shine
Into your .'ally life ?"
"I refer to you as the sunshine of
my existence tecause you make it hot

TRICKS ON THE TRACKS !
DANGERS FROM WHICH ENOINVTO
SAVE Tip PUBLIC AKDTHEMSKLVEB.
The Railway Review.
One who is accustomed to railway
traveling cau scarcely realize bow
much he is dependent for safety upon
thoeugiuee.-. Added to the responsi-bility
of their station, engineers are
als > iu constant danger of accidents
caused by the tricks of jealous rivals.
This rivulry, it is said, sometimes
prompts to the doing of utterly meau
tricks. A Nickle Plate engineer after
his very tlrst Hip was laid off because
be hud "cut out" all the b ■ariii,.s ot
bis engine. He was re-iuslated, how-ever,
after be proved that some rival
hud filled his oil can with emery.
Auother new engineer was suspended
for burning out the flues of his boiler.
Through grief ut the loss of his posi-tion
he died, and then a conscience-stricken
rival confessed that he had
/iul oil in the lank so that it foamed
und showed water at the top guuxe,
when In reality there was scarcely a
quart In the boiler !
Those intense jealousies, together
with the terrible anxiety incident to
their work, has a terrible straining ef-fect
on the nerve, and statistics tell us-that,
though Locomotive Eugineers
may look strong aud vigorous, they
are not all a hearty class. Ex-Chief
Engineer A. S. Hampton, Iudihuapo-lis,
Iud., (Liv. 143) wus one of those
apparently hearty men, but be says:
"Theanxiety, straiu aud joltiugcauiB
near rluishiug me." His sufLringi
localized in catarrh of the bladder, but
be used Warner's safe cure faithfully
for twenty weeks and now exclaims,
"I am a well man." T. S. Iugram, of
Cleveland, Ohio, assistant Chief En-gineer,
aud other prominent members
are also emphatic in Its praise.
The Locomotive Eugineers' Brother-hood
bas 17,000 members aud 240 di-visions.
Its headquarters is in Cleve-land,
Ohio, where Chief Engineer Ar
thur fur twenty years bas exercised al-most
dictatorial sway. It was organ-ized
iu August, 186a, by the employees
of the Miciiigau Central. It has given
nearly two million dollars to the wid-ows
and orphans of deceased members.

BAKINQ POWOERS.
INTERESTING! TESTS MADE BY THE
GOVERNMENT CHEMISTS.
Dr. Edward G. Love, the Analytical
Chemist for the Government,lias made
some Interesting experiments as to the
comparative value of baking powders.
Dr. Love's tests were made to deter-mine
what brands are the most eco-nomical
to use, and ns their capacity
lies in their leavening power, tests
were directed solely to ascertain the
available gas of each powder. Dr.
Love's report gives the following :
