II, COME you from
the Indies, and,
soldier, can you
tell
Aught of the gal-
lant 90th, and
who are safe
and well?
O, soldier, say my
son Is safe (for
nothing else 1
care),
And you shall have
a mother's thanks—shall have a
. widow's prayer!"
t4Oh, I've come from the Indies, I've
just come from the war,
And well I know the 90th, and gallant
lads they are,
From colonel down, to rank and file, I
know my comrades well,
And news I brought for you, mother,
your Robert made me tell."
*'And do you know my Robert now!
oh, tell me, tell me true—
0 soldier, tell me word for word all
that he said to you!
His very words—my own boy's words—
O tell me every one!
You little know how dear to his old
mother is my son!"
•Through Haveloek's fights and march-
es the 90th were there;
In all the gallant 90th did, your Robert
did his share:
Twice lie went into Lucknow, untouch-
ed by steel or ball;
And you may bless your God, old damp.
That brought him safe through
all."
"Oh, thanks unto the living God that
heard his mother's prayer.
The widow's cry that rose on high her
only son to spare!
O bless'd be God, that turned from him
the sword and shot away!—
And what to his old mother did my
darling bid you say?"
•'Mother, he saved hln colonel's life, and
bravely it was dene;
In the dispatch they told It all, and
named and praised your son;
A medal and a pension's his; good luck
to him, I 6ay;
And he has not a comrade but will
wish him well to-day."
"Now, soldier, blessings on your
tongue! O husband, that you knew
How well our boy pays me this day
for all that I've gone through;
All I have done and borne for him the
long years since you're dead!
But, soldier, tell me how he looked, and
all my Robert said."
"He's bronzed. and tanned, and
bearded, and you'll hardly know
him, dame:
We've .made your boy into a man, hut
still his heart's the same;
For often, dame, his talk's of you, and
always to one tune;—
But there, his ship is nearly home, and
he'll be with you soon."
•'Oh! Is he really coming home, and
shall I really see
"My boy again, my own boy, home? and
when, when will it be?
Did you say soon?"—"Well, he is
home; keep cool, old dame; he's
here."
"O Robert, my own blessed boy!"—"O
mother!—mother dear!"
Fatal R<* nlt of a Carious Canton).
One of the many superstitions still
believed by the peasant population of
Russia is that on the occasion of a
marriage the happiness of the newly-
wedded couple Is not assured unless the
parents of the contracting parties are
soaked with water from head to foot.
When the marriage takes place iu the
summer this is easily accomplished by
ducking the fathers and mothers-in-
law in the nearest river, but in the win-
ter they are laid on the ground and
rolled in the frozen snow.
The observance of this curious cus-
tom has just resulted fatally in the
village of Sysertsky, in the Upha pro-
vince. In this case the wedding guests
were all drunk, as is usual in Russia on
these occasions, and instead of simply
rolling the father of the bride in the
snow, they brought water out of the
house, and in a temperature of some
ten degrees below zero Fahrenheit,
threw a bucketful over him. The un-
fortunate man was only half dressed,
and received such a shock that'he died
within a week.
It is said that this sad event ha,s done
more to dispel the popular belief in
this superstition than anything yet
known.
King by Trade.
. While in Geneva, Switzerland, in
1891, Judge T. J. Mackey of South
Carolina was selected by the American
colony to deliver a Fourth of July ora-
tion at a banquet given in honor of the
day. It was attended by all the foreign
consuls, and among them was the con-
sul-general of Austria-Hungary, who
furnished for Judge Mackey's address
the following anecdote and vouc hed for
.its authenticity:
A number of Americans residing in
Vienna in the year 1810 united to cele-
brate Washington's birthday, and in-
vited the Emperor Francis of Austria
to honor the occaoion by his presence.
That genial monarch, a true gentle-
man, although "every inch a king,"
overlooked the disregard of established
forms Into which his would-be hosts
had been betrayed by their patriotic
zeal, and made this answer in his own
handwriting: -
"Gentlemen,—I thank ^'on for your
hospitable invitation and the gratify-
ing terms in which you have expressed
your desire that I should attend a
banquet which you propose to give in
celebration of Gen. Waohlngton's natal
day.
"But you must excuse me from unit-
ing with you to honor the memory ot
your illustrious countryman, since 1
could not do so with sincerity, for
Washington scorned a crown, and did
more to bring royally into costempt
than all men who have ever lived; and
I am a king by trade."
Hear* at School.
A man had come to town with two
tame bears. They were very clevef
bears, and could climb posts and trees,
dance and turn somersaults and do a
groat many tricks besides.
One day the man was taken ill, and
had to stay in the house all day. He
thought the bears were looked up in
the barn, but the bears decided they
would go for a walk by themselves.
They managed to get away without
being seen, and started in the direc-
tion of t he school house.
The children were at recess when
they suddenly saw the bears; They
were frightened and ran screaming in-
to the schoolhouse.
The bears wore very tame and kind,
and wanted to make friends with the
children, so they followed them.
The children jumped on the desks,
screaming and f rying, and the teachers
were frightened too.
When the bears saw that they could
not make friends or play they began
quietly walking about the school room.
Finally they came to the dressing-
room, where all the dinner-pails and
baskets were hanging.
Smelling the food, they managed to
knock some of the backets down, and
then such a feast as they did have.
They sat on their haunches and ato
sandwiches and fruit and drank milk
out of the bottles just as the children
would do.
When they had eaten enough they
quietly left the schoolhouse and trot'
ted down the road toward home.
After the bears were gone the chil-
dren became calm again and returned
to their lessons.
The man and the bears disappeared
the next day and were never seen
again.
Ttoyn' Strange l'rankft.
Lord Clive, when at school, was
known as a very little demon, and if
anything went wrong the schoolmaster
knew* he would not be very far out
at fixing the blame upon bis shoulders.
It is related that one day he climbed
up to the spire of the turret, and seat-
ed himself with great composure
astride the weathercock, where he per-
formed a few antics and then descend-
ed in safety.
Lord Nelson, it is said, gave an early
indication of his intrepidity. Whilst
at school his master had some very
fine pears, which the boys were anx-
ious to get, but the undertaking to
gather them was considered too dan-
gerous. Horatio, when he saw all his
companions staggered, came forward
and managed to secure the fruit; but
he refused to partake of any himself,-
remarking that he only got them be-
cause every other boy was afraid.
Some time ago a boy's somewhat
strangely mis-directed ingenuity came
to light in a Midland town. A medical
man had certified that the lad could
not attend school for three or four
days, and this precious young scamp
made the phrase read 304 days. Of
course the alteration was discovered,
and the youth was deprived of the
long vacation he had promised himself,

The Midtlj'a .Ulte.
When Sir John Franklin was in his
twelfth year he saw the sea for the first
time, and there and then made up his
mind to be a sailor. Although HTs
parents begged of him to choose anoth-
er calling, he would not give way, and
in the long run entered the navy. But
he never lost touch with home, or
ceased to think of the dear ones there.
When, in 180S, the failure of his broth-
er's bank caused his family some dis-
tress, John not only accepted without a
murmur the stoppage of his allowance
from home, but also saved the sum of |
£5 out of the paltry pittance of his
middy's pay, and sent it to help the
old folk. It was a trifle, no doubt,
but the spirit in which the thing was
done counted for more than the money,
A Wonderful Timepiece.

man in the South of England is a time-
piece which records the age of all the
planets, by an arrangement which
gives the exact revolutions of each one.

WAS just before
the last fierce
charge
Two soldiers
drew their
rein
or a clasp of a
hand and a
parting word;
They might
n ever meet
again.
Qne had blue eyes and clustering curls,
Nineteen but a month ago,
Down on his chin, red on his cheek.
He was only a boy, you know.
The other was dark and stern and
proud.
Ills faith in this world wns dim;
He only trusted the more in those
Who were all the world to him.
They had ridden together In many a
raid,
Had marched for many a mile,
And ever before they had met the foe
With a calm and cheerful smile.
But now they looked in each other s
face
With an awful ghastly gloom,
And the dark, stern man was the first
to speak,
Saying, "Charlie, my hour has cornel
"We'll ride together down the hill.
And if you ride back again.
You must promise a little trouble to
take.
For me, when I am slain.'
"You will find a face upon my breast—
I'll weai It in the tight—
With bright blue eyes and sunny curls.
And a smile like the morning light.
"Like the morning light was her love
for me,
For it gladdens my lonely life;
What cared I for the powers of fate
When she promised to be my wife?
"Write to her, Charlie, when I am
gone;
Send back that fair, fond face,
And tell her tenderly how I died.
And where is my resting place."
Tears dimmed the blue eyes of the boy,
His voice grew low with pain;
"I'll do your bidding, comrade mine.
If I rUlc back again.
"And if j'ou ride back, and I do not.
You must do as much for me;
I've a mother at home must hear the
news;
Write to her tenderly.
"She has prayed at home like a watch-
ing saint.
Her fair face white with woe;
It will break her hiart when I am
gone;
I shall see her soon, I know.
"One after another of those she loved,
She has parted with—husband and
sons;
I was the last, my eountrjr called—
She kissed and sent me on."
Just then the order came to chargc,
In an instant hand clasped hand;
They answered "Aye," and on they
rode.
These brave devoted men.
And they rode till they came to the
crest of the hill.
Where the rebels' shot and shell
Poured rifle death in the toiling ranks
And jeered them as they fell.
Among the dead that were left behind
Was the boy with the curly hair,
And the dark, stern man, that rode by
his side,
Lay dead beside him there.
There was no one to write to the blue-
eyed girl
The words her lover had said,
And the mother at home could not hear
the news
That her darling boy was dead.
She never can know the last fond
thought
That was said to soothe her pain,
Until she crosses the river of death,
And stands by his side again.
Freddy's Knse.
Freddy had been repeatedly told that
he must not ask people for money, One
day he met Mr. Williams, who could j
never resist an appeal from the small I
boy.
'Mr. Williams," said Freddy, "do I
you give five cents to little boys what j
don't ask for 'aai?"
Sticking to It.
The boys who knew Ulysses Grant
best held him in esteem, and with
reason; for his playmates said of him
that "he never backed out of any-
thing," and that "he was the soul of
honor." There was, however, in the
village a belief that his father unduly
valued his capabilities, and the feeling
against Mr. Grant was often openly
expressed toward Ulysses. An Instance
of the rancor of some of the boys,
which shows at the same time Grant's
peculiar persistence and his school-
master's recognition of this character-
istic, is given by Mr. Hamlin Barland
in McClure -i Magazine.
According to the tales of old resi-
dents, the bays were always "laying for
Ulysses," and he was called upon to
Buffer positive abuse. An old citizen of
Georgetown, Ohio, relates the follow-
ing Incident:
"A favorite game with the boys ot
John D. White's subscription school,
at Georgetown, was 'mumble-the-peg.'
Grant couldn't play the game very skil-
fully, and the peg always got a few
clandestine licks every time he was to
pull it. On one occasion it was driven
In so deep that the boys thought 'Lys'
could never get it out.
"He set to work with his forehead
down in the dirt, the sun beating hot
upon him, and the crowd of boys and
girls shutting out every breath of fresh
air. The peg would not move. The
red-faced, shock-headed, thick-*et boy,
with his face now covered with mud.
had forgotten his comrades and saw
only one thing in the world; that was
this stubborn peg. The bell rang, but
the boy did not hear It. A minute later,
after a final effort, he staggered to his
feet with the peg in his moutu.
"The old schoolmaster was in tlio
door of the schoolhouse, with his long
beech switch—the only person to be
seen. There was glee inside at this
now development. Here was fun the
boys had not counted on. Imagine
their surprise when, as the boy ramo
closer, and the stern old schoolmaster
saw his face, he set down the switch
inside the door and went outside.
"One boy slipped to the window and
reported to the rest. The old man was
pouring water on Lys Grant's hands
and having him wash his face. He
gave him his red bandanna to wipe it
dry. Wh. t the school saw a minute
later was the schoolmaster coming in.

boy on the head."
Senator mill Soldier*.
The days when senators and repre-
sentatives In congress were expected to
frank letters for private saldiers, re-
counted by Mr. J. A. Watrous, of Chi-
cago, in somo army reminiscences,
were dangerous ones for congressioual
visits to the military camps.
Mr. Watrcus says that Senator Tim-
othy 0. Howe, of Wisconsin, once vis-
ited the headquarters of his friend.
Gen. Xtufus King, and was at the first
opportunity besieged by the soldiers
with packages of envelopese to be
franked.
Senator Howe was one of the most
good-natured of men, and immediately
sat down in the tent of one of the
captains, and began to frank envelopes
by the hundreds.
General King had made special prep-
aration for a dinner In honor of his
guest. It was to eclipse all the camp
dinners that bad been given for a long
time. Senator Howe had been frank-
ing envelopes about half an hour when
the call came for dinner. He went on
writing, and General King came to get
him.
"Go on, King; I'll be there directly,'
said the senator.
Dinner was served. The guests had
arrived. No one ate, but after a while
the colored cook was sent to tell the
senator that the meal was getting cold.
"Oh, tell them to so ahead," said the
senator, still writing madly on sol-
diers' envelopes. "I'll be with them
as soon as I can."
He finished the pile and rose to go
but just then two more soldiers came
in with fresh parcels, and he seated
himself again. After he had signed
them all he joined the impatient com-
pany at a cold dinner.
"I'm sorry," he said, "but it made
the boys happy; they will make their
friends happy with all the letters they
will send In those franked envelopes
and it made me happy to do it."

America at the Head.
The adjutant-general of the regular
army has laid before Congress, as pro-
vided by law, a statement of the num-
ber of men in the United States phy-
sically able to perform military duty
if calie I upon to do so. The number
of such men is 10,024,584. The num-
ber is important, because it shows that
the United States have more men avail-
able for war than any other nation
in the world. The foremost place was
held previously by Russia. The best
estimates put the present population
of the United States at 72,000.000. The
population of Russia by the last esti-
mate was 80,000,000, The number ol
available men in Russia, however, is
not so large in proportion to the whole
population. In the first place the pro-
portion of male residents in the United
States is larger. The immigration to
the United States is mostly male, and
there has been some emigration from
Russia, almost wholly male. Accord-
ing to the last federal census of the
United States there were 1,500,000 more
male than female residents of this
country, while from the last authen-
tic Russian census it appeared that
for every 1,000 male persons in Russic
there were 1,027 females. Moreover
there is a much larger class of non-
combatants in Russia than in the
United States. Ily "noncombatants'
are meant .those who, for religious oi
other reasons, are opposed to warfare j
the last figures at hand, there were 3,-
500,000 Hebrews in Russia and there
are 500,000 in the United States. Years
ago the Quaker population was consid-
erable in some American states, partic-
ularly Pennsylvania, but there are now
only 100,000 members of all the de-
nominations of "Friends" in this coun-
try.
JourmtllHiii In Greece.
The newspapers of Greece do not
take very high rank in Europe, either
in respect to their progressive features
or their extensive circulation. The
standard size of a Greek paper is
twelve and a half by nine Inches, and
there are usually four pages devoted
to the discussion of political and theo-
logical matters, ■ ith an occasional ref-
erence to local occurrences, when ade-
quate corroboration has been obtained.
Athens, the capital, maintains nine
daily newspapers, not one of which
has more than 5,000 circulation.

War Material.
The Amalgamated Association of
Street Railway Employes of America
believe in the injunction, "In time of
peace prepare for war," and will soon
inves' some $(i,000 of the national treas-
ury funds in carettes, A carette is a
sort of omnibus, modeled on street car
plans and capible of carrying twenty-
five to thirty passengers. In speaking
of this iuvestment yesterday, President
Mahon said: "The calottes wjll cost us
about $200 each, and we shall invest
our surplus money in them and store
them away until they are needed. In
the event of the tying up of a line by
a strike, we simply procure horses and
start a line of carettes to carry the pas-
sengers." "We saw the need of them
at the strike in Milwaukee and also at
Fort Wayne, Ind.," said Secretary Orr.
"At both places we gathered up every-
thing In the shape of a vehicle, and
they were found to be the most efficient
means we could employ in advertising
and sustaining the strike." Carettes
are of such a capacity that they pay
their own expenses when a car line is
tied up, whereas other vehicles are a
drain upon the funds of the organiza-
tion. The country at, present is free
from street railway strikes, but in
Cincinnati a union has been secretly
formed against the opposition of the
company, and trouble is not unlikely
when the organization makes itself
known and demands recognition and
the reforms for which it has been insti-
tuted.—Detroit Free Press.

The army of working children is be-
ing augmented at a terrible rate In our
great in-'ustrial centers, so much so
that the national order of things is be-
coming reversed with tremendous
rapidity, says M. L. Carroll in the
Eight-Hour Herald. He who should be
provider and defender of the family
finds it difficult or impossible to longer
procure employment. He is being
rapidly supplanied by his own children,
whose miserably small wages is about
all that stands between him and star-
vation.
The tendency toward the employ-
men of children is due altogether to
a desire to pay as little wages as pos-
sible. The child Is never allowed the
pleasure of a child's life. It Is de-
prived of an opportunity of being edu-
cated, Is often ruined in health, while
the rioral senses are deadened and
stunted. And these are to be the future
citizens of this great republic—the fa-
thers and mothers of the future genera-
tions! And all this at a time when there
Is absolutely no necessity for child la-
bpr of any kind; when adult labor can
be had in abundance on every hand,
and When able-bodied men are vainly
seeking an honorable means of liveli-
hood.

Pennsylvania trade unionists have
discovered that Senator Klinn's anti-
trust bill, now on par age iu the l.igla-
lature, is likely to optratc to disband
every union man in the state. One
clause is to the effect that "all arrange-
ments, contracts, agreements, etc., be-
tween persons or corporations de-
signed, or which tend to advance, re-
duce or control the price or the cost to
the producer or to the -consumer of
any such product, etc., are deemed
against public policy, unlawful and
void." The price paid for labor is ono
of the most prominent factors In the
cost of manufacture of a majority of
articles, and the union is an "arange-
ment" and "combination" to control
that cost. Tho third section is as fol-
lows: "That, any violation of the pro-
visions of this act that be deemed, and
Is hereby declared to be, destructive
of full and free competition and a con-
spiracy against trade, and any person
or persons who may engage In any such
conspiracy, as principal, manager,
director or agent, or in any other ca-
pacity, shall on conviction, be punished
by a fine of not less than $100 or more
than $5,000, and by imprisonment in
the pen tentlary not less than one year
or not more than ten years; or, In the
judgment of the court, by either surl
line or such imprisonment."

Through the courtesy of Horace O.
Wadlin, chief of the Massachusetts
Bureau of the Statistics of Labor, we
have received a copy of the bureau's
twenty-sixth annual report. It is a
volume of somo 400 pages, and the
quest Ion of wages is treated very ex-
haustively, tin data representing more
than a quarter of a century. The re-
sponsibility of intemperance for
crime, pauperism and insanity is also
given a comprehensive analysis. The
report shows that during the past two
years much has been gained by labor
In Massachusetts In the way of shorter
hours, safer sanitary conditions and
avoidance of strikes by recourse to
arbitration. The number of new
unions and increase of membershiy
made gratifying gains during both
yeai>. Dissatisfaction with tho low
rati of wages Is shown to be wide-
spread, and is now the chief cause ol
corn ctive agitation. Ex.
* ii torhi'i Cant-Iron Factory Lav.
Students of factory legislation can-
not lull to be interested iu the new fac-
tories act of the British colony of Vic-
toria. It is one of the most drastic in
the world, since it establishes, for th«
first time In history, it is claimed, a le-
gally enforcable minimum wage, which
Is embodied In this clause: "No per-
son whosever, unless in receipt of
weekly wage of at least 2s (!d, shall b«
employed in any factory or workroom."
A factory is defined as a placo in which
four persons, or, if steam or other arti-
ficial power is used, two persons art
employed, the employer counting one.
The act as a whole Is long, complicated
and rigorous, it being provided that
an; manufacturer convicted three times
of violating the act shall lose hiB fac-
tory license, that is, be driven out ol
his business by the state. So stringent
an act Is possible only through the ei
Istenee of a powerful labor party.
Convict Farming In M irtxlhslppi.
The state of Mississippi has made ai
attempt to solve the question of thi
employment of Its convicts. The stafi
has a farm embracing some 8,000 acrei
of land, and upon this farm the con
viets have for some years been em
ployed in agricultural labor. The re-
sult of last year's operations was a nei
profit to the state of $40,000. Now thi
system is iu danger, for the farmers o:
the state are demanding its suspensioi
by being brought into competition witl
convict labor. So strong is this de-
mand that there is a prospect that thi
system will be abandoned and tin
convicts he put at the work of roal
building.
