The mellow gold of the summer after noon lay like a veil over the artist's characteristically untidy studio; the tall red hollyhocks reared their crests at the window, and a cat-bird was whistling sweetly in the branches of the Canada plum tree beyond. Mr. Edgett, the artist, had gone on a. sketching tour, and Mrs. Molua, the landlady, had promptly availed herself of the opportunity to " clean up things a bit" a process which was systemati cally frowned-down by Mr. Edgett, when in possession of the premises. Polly was a rubicund-faced, red armed girl of twelve, awkward and clumsy in the extremcst degree but she was, as Mrs. Molus expressed it, "a regular spider to work." "There ain't any grown girls," said the landlady, " as you'll get more work cat of than you will out of Polly." And as she scrubbed away at the floor, her fascinated gaze involuntarily riveted itself upon a half-completed sketch of a woman's head upon the easel a spirited thing, with wild, backward-flowing hair, eyes fall of red, savage light, and firm lips apart. "Wherever I go, and whichever way I turn," said Polly, in despair, "they follow me them eyes ! The thing ain't alive, be it?" "That is high art, Polly." said r grave voice, close to her elbow. pail in the stait produced by seeing Mr. Edgett himself, portfolio, portable easel, furled umbrella, and all, strapped across his shoulders. He had found the summer meadow too hot, and had returned belore the ex pected time. , " What are you doing?" he demanded, sharply. "Please, sir, I'm a-scrubb:n" said Polly, rising clumsily to her feet, and dropping a stiff bob of a courtesy. "Missis she said " " Your missis is a fool, Polly!" crisply spoke up the artist, "and you are an other." "Please, sir, that's what they always Eaid at the workhouse," said Polly, despairingly. , "Hut, nevertheless," encouraginely added Mr. Edgett, "you are a tood judge of art. The eyes follow you, do tney?" And with a shudder. Polly admitted that they did. "That woman, Polly," 6aid the artist. laying down his portfolio, "is Medea." "Didn't never live hereabouts, did Bhe?" said Polly, curiously. .No; she murdered her children ome centuries ago did Medea." Polly stared hgrder than ever, in un mitigated horror. " I hope they gave her a good, round turn m jail," aaid she. " I likes little children I does. If I'd all the money 1 wanted " "Well?" said Mr. Editt "I'd build a great, big house, and I'd take in all the orflings and work'us children, and them as boasted no home, and-" "Polly. The shrill voice of Mrs. Molus inter posed at this juncture, and Polly' Chateau en Espaene tumbled into ruins. t Mr. .fcdgett was a great artist, un doubtedly, but somehow his pictures did hot sell. And before the glossy green of the maple leaves in front of the house had turned to scarlet, Mrs. Molus informed him with considerable ani mus that " there was other parties wait : ing for the room, as could be depended on, and she'd trouble him to move out his things afore.nightfall." Mr. Edgett looked at his lean-jawed landlady with a troubled, lazy gaze.' " Would you mind waiting a week, Mrs. Molus?" said he. "I I do not " eel exactly well, and " "I should mind it very much." Mrs Molus acrimoniously answered. "I think I mentioned as the rooms was let, and I must beg you to clear out right away." So, Mr. Edgett, with throbbing pains in his head, and a sick, dizzy sensation at every movement, packed his lew mill boards and color-tubes, and started away. ,! am sorry that I must leave here in your debt, Mrs. Molus," he said, cour teouslv, "but" am sorrv. too!" snapped the dame, with her thin lips viciously compressed. But I hope soon to hear from my uncle in England, and settle all liabili ies ." "Fine words butter no parsneDS. said the landlady, reouncing oacx into the house, like an attenuated india-rub ber hall. Mr. Edgett walked slowly and pain fully along, until he reached a sweet- smelling pine copse, where the shadows lay dense and deep, and the sound of a hidden waterfall filled the air with ten der mysteries. 'There's an old deserted mill here somewhere," he said to himself, " I know, because 1 sketched it, one showery day last June. It is cool cool and shady with the noise of dripping water in one's ears, and I can rest there, without fear of let or hindrance." Twenty-four hours afterward, little Polly, all dust and pallor, came into the drug store in the village. "Come, then, what's wanting?" said the pert assistant, who wore a papr collar and an imitation gold watch chain. " Wot's good for 'eadache?" demanded Polly, "and fever? and lightheaded ness? I've got ten cents here, and " "Come, girl, clear out of here!" said the assistant, superciliously. " We don't want any tramps around." "I ain't a tramp!" said Polly, with tears in her eyes and a lump in her throat. "And I want ten cents' worth of what's good for " " Where is the case?" demanded the druggist himself, a shrewd, bald-headed Scotchman. And Poily led him to the deserted mill in the pine woods.where Eustace Edgett lay, tossing in delirium. "Child, "said he. "doyou know what is the matter with this man?" Polly shook her head, with her apron to her eyes. I know he's sick," said she, " and hasn't no one to nuss him but me. Jle knows me, he do and he says, ' Polly, you ain't such a fool, arter all.' He was bind to me, an' he give me a ten-cent piece once no one ever did afore and I took it to buy medicine, I did!" " Has he no friends?" "Not as I knows on." He must be removed to a hospital at once," said the Scotchman. " He is ill of variola in other words, small- -kx." He mustn't never be took nowhere where I can't take care of him !" howled roily; " for he was good to me!" When Eustace Edgett's life-bark drifted back again to the shores of con sciousness, two facts met him, face to tace. One was the certainty that his life was owinj to Polly's faithful care; the other was a black-edged letter from England, briefly stating the demise of -few unolc, mad ettrVy eoMtaTTIiaTlii him upon succession to ample wealth. "Polly!" Baid the artist, lifting his heavy eyes to the place where his faith ful, red-armed little nurse sat darning stockings, by the window. "Sir!" said Polly. " I'm a rich man at last," said Mr. Edgett. "Is you, sir?" said Polly, moment arily fearful that the delirium had re turned. " You shall have your Utopia," said Edgett. "Sir!" said Polly. "The big house, you know," ex plained the artist, "for the homeless children. And we'll call it'Edirett's Thanks.' In the meantime. Poll v. von shall go to school." But I don't want tc go to school," said rebellious Polly. I don't need no book-learning to take care of the chil dren I" " But you know, Polly," urged Edgett, the house can't be built all in a day! It will take years and years. For Ed- gett's Thanks must be worthy of its oc casion. And you ve got to stav some where in the meantime; so boarding- school is the place for you. Polly." Eustace Edgett went to England to assume the mantle of his own responsi bilities. Polly retired relcclrtly enough, to a school where " young ladies of de fective education " were especially fostered ; and the huge, red brick walls of Edgett's Thanks reared themselves. by slow degress, as near as possible to the spot where its endower had lain under the roof of the deserted mill, fighting for bis life. And in ten years he came back again. The playground was musical with the merry voices of little children. A tall, fair-haired' young lady stood in their midst, her flaxen curls blown about, her eyes shining like blue start,, with a close- fitting dress of deep, blue serge, outlined the prettiest of figures. Involuntarily Eustace Edgett raised his hat. " I beg your pardon, ma'am," said he ; " but is there a girl by the name of, Pody Urnwninsr here?" "lam -onyP sue cried, blushing to the very roots of her golden hair. "Oh, Mr. Edgett, didn't you know me? I should have known you in China or Japan !" The artist stared at the willowy figure, the soft, shy eyes, the air of delicate refinement. " Polly turned into a princess !" cried he. "Well, I'm ready to believe any thing now." Miss Browning held out her slender hand. " Welcome to Edgett's Thanks," said she, with quiet dignity "Will you walk over the buildings now?" Of course he didn't go back to Eng land, and of course he married pretty Polly, and of course they both live at Edgett's Thanks, with a family of three or four hundred little children. And Polly is radiantly happy and so is her artist husband. For what greater bliss can there be in this world than to do good and to love? A Senagerle Lion's iiinnei. One of the most attractive places out -it the Zoo is the !ion house, not far from the main entrance. One of the most favorable moments to visit this lion house is four o'clock in the afternoon, as the lion, tigers, cougars, panther, leo pards and hyenas are given their dinner at that time ol the day. They are gif en one meal a day only. " Poor fellows!" perhaps you may exclaim, but it must be remembered tliat in their native wilds these flesh-eating beasts go without fod forseveial d.-iys. It is a very interesting sight to see this four o'clock dinner. As early as three o clock visitors begin to crowd into the promenade in front of the row of cages and by the time the keeper brings out his buckets the house is well filled. Of course the animals know that dinner-time is approaching. They pare up and down their cages with uneasy steps, the lions roar and the tigers grow 1. showing very plainly that they are hun gry. Every now and then a little boy will go close up to the lion's cage, bu will leap away again in an instant, for the terrific roar that makes the floor shake frightens Johnny out of his shoes. When the keeper appears with a bucket full of meat "Commodore Lawrence." the birgest of th' panthers, bounds around the sides of his cage like a cat, for, as nis cage is nearest the provision house door, he gets t be first food. Hav ing received his big " hunk." as the keeper calls it. the '.commodore eats away with great relish. The tigers are al most wild with delight when their cages are reached. Perhaps the most interesting part of the sport, however, is the feeding of the male lionf Noble fellow that he is! Here comes the keeper ; now look close and see what the lion is doing! There he stands, on his haunches, with his head toward the great crowd. His mane stands out like the shaggy whiskers on Uncle Sam's chin. His eyes, fastened upon the keeper, gleam with pleasure. Now, reatly, isn't that a smile stealing over his face, making his beard twitch and his ears point forward? It looks very much like it anyhow, and if thai isn't a lion's smile, then no lion ever did smile. He is not as impatient as the other ani mals, though he shows that he is hun gry. He has a native dignity about him that every one must admire. See, the keeper approaches with a piece of beef horse beef weighing fifteen pounds, on the end of a pole. The keeper holds the beef up over the lion's head and close to the cage. Now is the most delightful moment. "Just look!" "How nice!" " Dear old boy !" may be heard on every side, and the crowd surges up against the iron rail. Still the keeper holds the beef up above the lion's head. The lion looks up at it with a " please-do-drop-in-my-mouth " expres sion. His paws are crossed and his head elevated. Suddenly the keeper thrusts the beef between the bars, the lion seizes it and with a "thank you" look begins to eat as quietly as any good litttle girl in the United States. Phila delphia Time. Tillage Improvement Societies. In hi repon. lately ffn"ir Colons Wright, chief of the bureau of statistics of labor, gives some interesting state ments concerning the work of village improvement societies in Massachusetts, of which the Laurel Hill association located at otockbridge, is the parn. The object of this society, as set forth in their by-laws, is to improve and orna ment the streets and public grounds of Stockbridge. by planting and cultivating trees, cleaning and repairing the side walks, and doing su eh other acts as shall tend to beauty and improve said streets and grounds. Its work has been the subject .of many newspaper articles, and its example has been the incentive for the formation of many similar associa tions in different puts of the country. During its existence it has expended $4,000 in carrying forward its work. Elanted more than 1,600 trees and edges, and built miles of sidewalks, foot-bridges, etc. From the returns made to Colonel Wright's bureau, it appears that ?16 of the 325 towns in Massachusetts report the existence of twenty-eight village improvement societies, having a mem bership of 495. Instances of some of '.he work performed by these societies are given, to show in what directions their efforts have been employed: In Williamstown a hundred street have been put in order, trees planted, and the village lighted. In Danvers the village common baa been fenced and man trees planted. The society In Shelburn has made sidewalks, planted trees, and lighted the streets. In Long meadow, tree culture has been encour aged, borders cut and trimmed, and sidewalks repaired. In Westfield a street six rods wide and over three miles long, has been laid out and lined with trees. In Carlisle the cemetery has been beautified. The "Field and Garden club," of Lexington, has fenced many vacant lots. In Stow 180 maple trees have been planted. In Pepperell trees have been planted, lights put op, and courses of lectures have been de livered. The organization of these societies is a very simple affair, as 'the less ma chinery and formality to them, the easier they are organised and the better they do their work. N. E. Farmer. The Child In the Basket. One day a mother wbo bad been to a country house near Marseilles returned with her ron to Marseilles. It was twilight. The child, eight years old, had been put into a peach basket borne by a donkey, and the mother, fearing the child might catch cold (it was in November), had covered the boy with a thick brown shawl. Tired of running around the country all day, cozy and warm under the thick shawl, the child was soon asleep and hidden by the sides of the basket. Althougu the city gates were reared (there is a local custom house at the gates of Mar seilles), the mother, forgetting all about the child, walked a distance behind the donkey and did not make him stop at the custom house to be searched. The customs officer seeing the donkey jog on without stopping, suspected he was laden with smuggled goods, and ran after him to thrust his sharp steel probe through the basket. Luckily the mother observed him, ran forward anr screamed : ' ' Don't use your probe I My child is in that basket. Mv child is in that basket 1" The child was Adolphe Thiers, who became in later years president of the French republic. There is a negro women in E manual county, Ga., known as Hannah Bonn- tree, who, was a grandmother at the age of 26 years. She gave birth to a gir. when only 13 years old, and the dangh ter, when about that iags, became a mother herself. 8 A3 MABI.10. fttes t Tm 1.SOO Taw new tt l Sever lie Suaslatlnir Tatrtjr MJ A KaUa vriUkewt a La Republic dl San Marino, the roots of whose history run down to the days of Charlemagne, lies about twelve miles southwest from Rimini, and about four miles from the shores of the Adriatic, in Italy. A correspondent writes: The republic proper stretches over a terri'ory seventeen miles long and about half thai width, and has a population, all told, of about 6,000 people, the cap ital, where we were, having about 9U) of them. They were governed by a council of sixty, which Ls close Corpo ration, nominally composed of twenty princes, twenty of the middle class, and twenty of the pessaat class, but in point of fart, as I afterward learned and. imdeed. as migh: be Inferred from the fact that they themselves filled all vacancies, and the people had no more to do with the choios of the members of congress all were nobles and if you were to address one otherwise than as "nobiiiseimo," you had better not have addressed him at alL I gathered that the real distinction was that twenty were taken from the landed gentry, twenty from the town gentry, and twenty promiscuously from any part of the territory. This council, independent of all hu man control from above or below, elects two executive officers, who are called captains-regent; it designates ail execu tive committees, imposes taxes in fart, conducts the government. The regents receive no pay another evidence that San Marino is not a republic, after els Atrantic ideas at any rate. My readers are doubtless already im patient to know something of the army, which for 1,300 years has defied the man ifold elements of disorder that have been fatal to so many dynasties and dismem bered so many larger and more popu lous territories in Europe. The mili tary defense, then, of the republic of San Marino is committed to a regular army of thirty men. who are supposed to be always ready to respond to the call of honor or of patriotism. A police consisting of five or six per sons protects the property of the terri tory, and gives peaceful slumbers to iu honest burghers In emergencies the militia of the country may b called in aid of its unconquered legions. They have two judges, who are, however, re quired by law to be taken from without the territory, and are changed every three years. But all cases of appeal are decided bv the court of causation, or review, in the neighboring cities of Bol ogna. Padua, Turin or wherever that tribunal may chance to be sitting at the time. The currency in use among Ihem.also, is that of the Italian government. They had once some sous coined, the equiva lent in value of our cent mv host at the inn gave me two or three of them; but they were not coined in the republic. Their number was very restricted, and thrr u ruely to t aat wtUi exery in the collections of numismatists. It is certainly one of the eccentricities which distinguish San Marino from all other countries that it puts lu litigation out, as some f ami lies put out their wash ing, and trades exclusively with the cur rency of foreign states. The country which buys and sells with a currency over which It has no control, and sub mits its differences to foreign tribunals for adjustment, gives pretty heavy bonds to keep the peace with Its neighbors, whatever be the title It gives to its form of rovernment. The expenses of their government will notsoetn large to an American. They never exceed 25.000 francs say $5,000 army, navy, postofflce, education, prisons, police, diplomatic service, rep resentation, all included. The revenue is raised out of the profits realised by the government from the purchase of some 600.000 pounds of tobacco in the leaf, which it manufactures to sell at a small advance; from the sale of about 800 sacks of salt, andatriSing stamp tax of three cents on notarial, judicial and other legal documents. The health of the republic is looked after by one physician and one surgeon employed by the state, who are required tp attend and prescribe for aa who send for them, but who axe not expected to resent the offer of a gratuity from those who can afford to pay for their advice. These functionaries receive $500 a year each from the state. The judges re ceive the same. San Marino has not only never been afflicted with a news paper but no printing preas lias ever stood upon Its territory. This is a lim itation upon its capacity for manufac turing money which distinguishes it more Uian anything else from republics of lesser longevity. Btatsr er the Japanese. Mrs. Chaplin Ayrton. M. I)., has re cently published the results of nearly three hundred observations of the height and span of the Japanese. She found the average height to be five feet three inches, and the span four feet eleven in ches In the case of twenty -four women, taken at random, the tallest was a trifle over five fet two inches, and the aver age was tour feet eight inches, with an average span of four feet six inches. The shortness of the span as compared with the height is a general character istic that is especially marked in the case of the women. Sixty per cent, of the persons measured had the span less than the height, and thirty-three percent. f eater than the height, while in only 8 per cent, were the height and span equaL Climate can hardly be made to account satisfactorily for the smallneas of the Japanese, for they live in a tem perate region, though it is subject to sudden and marked changes. The gen eral use of charcoal braziers for heating may have something to do with it by causingthem to inhale the carbonlo ox ides. The characteristic of their food is the rarity of meat aad the abundance of salt. Many of the additional causes of the smallneas of the Japanese may be so remote as to cease to effect the nation except by hereditary influence.

A pretty good ioke is told at the ex pense of two limbs of the law who are well-known in Seneca county.
