LIGHTS.
A little lamp can send but a brief and feeble
lay,
The great lights bravely beam, and their
radiance far away
3 the comfort of the nations and the further
ance of the day.
All men remember when the great lights
were lit,
The day is kept in honor, and they name it
as they &it
And watch the guiding flame, thanking and
blessing it.
But the small and struggling lights which a
breath of storm might kill
Each fain to light a continent, but doomed
to smalluess still,
Is there no one to praise them for their
service of good will?
Yes, one, the Lord of all, who is the source
of light,
He sees them where they burn in the black
ness of Earth's night.
And tlie larger and the less alike are pre
cious in His sight.
He is the secret source by which their flames
are fed,
From the beacon's wide, white ray which
flashes overhead,
To tlie intermittent ray which the half
spent tapers shed ;
And to each he says, "Well done," which has
bravely sought to burn.
Ani when the dawn ariseth, and each is
quenched in turn,
Absorbed into the perfect day for which
pure spirit yearn;
LV.ch littlo ilamo that struggled to make
the night more fair,
Shall find its place in Paradise and burn in
heavenly air,
And the Father of all Lights shall be its wel
come there.
Susan Cuulkige, in the Independent.

BY OPIE P. READ.
The following confessions of Zeb. W.
Teal were presented to me by the author:
It doesn't make any difference where I
was born or where I was reared. I am
the proprietor of a grocery store, and by
a closeness that involved much self-sacrifice
I have managed to buy a home;
but this can be of no interest to any one
who may read these confessions. I must
have been thirty-five years old before the
thought that I ought to marry some gen
tle and confiding woman occurred to me.
I had never gone into society and conse
quently knew but few women, and those
whom I did know had haggled so much
over the price of sugar or dried codfish
that the thought of marrying them was
a shock to ray fancy. I was at that time
living i:i a large city and boarded at a
house situated several miles from my
place of business. One day while going
home on a horse car, I noticed a woman
sitting opposite me. Of course, I noticed
women every day, but there was some
thing about this woman that especially
attracted me. Her face was not impres
sively handsome, but there was an intel
lectual cast about it, an evidence of cul
tivation that I could not help admiring.
I must have gazed at her, indeed, I know
that I did, but she did not appear to take
any notice of me. The next evening
when I started home, there she was again
on the car. I regaided this as fortu
nate, but was compelled to L-onteut my
self with simply looking at her. Just
before getting off, I asked the driver if
he knew her name, but he said that he
did not. The next evening when I
started home, I was disappointed in not
finding her, and I got oil and waited for
the next car, but I did not see her.
One night I was suddenly taken ill of
pneumonia. One of the boarders was
dispatched for a doctor, and was in
structed to get the nearest oue. Shortly
afterward the messenger returned with
the woman whom I had gazed at on the
car.
"Is it possible that you are a doctor?"
I -asked.
4 'It is not only possible," she an
swered, smiling, "but it is an established
fact."
"I am glad to see you again, at any
rate."
"See me again'"
"Yes, for I was disappointed when I
found that you were tot on the car the
other evening."
"I don't remember having seen you
before," she replied. I was unreasonable
enough to allow a sharp sting to enter
my pride. She had not even noticed
inc. She felt my pulse, wrote a pre
scription and said that she would caK
again the next day. She came early at
morning and declared that I was much
better.
"But I think you'd better cctne again,"
said I. "Pneumonia is a tricky disease,
vau know. I had a friend that was pro
nouueed cured, and the doctor ceased
his visits and my friend died."
"I have known a patient to die before
the doctor's visits ceased," she re
sponded, smiling in a way half pro
fessional and half woman.
"But you don't think that I am in a
similar danger, do you?" I asked, some
what alarmed, for courage was never
numbered among my virtues.
"Oh, there is no cause for immediate
alarm, " she answered. 'I will call again
to-morrow."
"Can't you come this evening?"
"That would not be necessary."
"xiut cam you come any wayi 1
rather like the society of doctors. I
know a great many physicians."
"What physicians do you know?" she
asked.
That somewhat stumped me. I had
never been sick before, and as I was a
humble if not a modest grocer, I knew
no doctors, but I was, as the Congress
men say, equal to the occasion, and Ire
plied that I knew Dr. Prouty, Dr. Snell
and Dr. So-and-So."
"I don't know them," she said.
Neither did I, but I was determined
to maintain my position. "Can't you
come this evening?" I implored rather
than asked.
"I will come to-morrow morning, "
she replied, and in a way so unsenti
mental that I was almost angry, she
marched out. By this time I was really
in love with her, and in order to keep up
her visits, I was resolved to feign sick
ness; so, when she came the next day
and asked me how i felt, I answered
that I thought I was worse.
"Oh, I don't know," she answered.
"But I do know. I have a pain in my
side and fed shaky. By the way, I have
not asked your name. I wish to say that
I am a very peculiar man."
"My name is Dapson," she answered.
She came early the next morning, and
after taking my temperature, remarked
that I was so far restored to health that
further attention from her would be un
necessary. "Doctor," said I, "it is much better
to be on the safe side. To tell the truth,
pneumonia runs somewhat in our family,
and the worst phase is, that my people
have suffered most from the dread dis
ease after having been pronounced
cured.'
She sat down and laughed. "You are
the first man I ever knew to regard with
friendliness an increasing doctor's bill."
"That's all right," said I, wincing a
little, for my economical nature shuddered
somewhat at the thought of paying out
much money and I was about to suggest
that the bill might be cut down, when
the doctor said: "It is an odd char
acteristic of human nature that men
should hate a doctor's bill with so strong
a degree of warmth. Men who cheer
fully pay an under taker shy at a doctor."
"Probably they think that the doctor
causes both bills," I remarked, attempt
ing to be witty.
"And thus contributes to the support
of two worthy vocations," she quickly
rejoined.
"Yes; they render each other self
sustaining. By the way, you are coming
one more time, aren't you?"
'I don't see why I should."
"But I do."
"And why should I come?"
"Because I love you,"
"Why, what an impudent patient
you are."
"That's all right. I love you and
want to marry you."
"To save your bill?" she archly
asked.
"Come, doctor, don't make sport of
me. Ever since I first saw you I have
loved you. I u3ed to watch for you and
when you failed to be on the car, I was
grief-stricken. Now, after this confes
sion, won't you agree to visit me until I
am able to visit you?"
"Your very peculiarity attracts me
toward 'you," she said.
"Then I wish that my peculiarities
were stronger. I wish they were strong
enough to draw you to my arms."
"Oh, what a trifling rascal you are, to
be sure. I don't really believe that you
have been ill at all. It was merely a de
sign against me."
"No, I was not aware that you were a
doctor. If I had known it I would have
been ill long ago. By the way, when
will you be ready?"
"Ready for whit?"
"To be my wife."
"I am not looking for a husband."
"Yes, but the greatest treasures are
sometimes come upon by accident."
"You are quite philosophical for a
grocer."
"Ah, but let me tell you, Miss Doctor,
that the grocery business requires more I
philosophy than the medical profession, j
The grocer understands the weakness of
the flesh."
"I must go," she said, arising.
"When shall I expect you?" I asked.
"You need not expect me."
She did not come the next day, and 1
sent for her. She did not come until
night.
"I suppose you are worse," she said
smiling.
"I am dying."
"Then I can do nothing for you."
"Yes, you can save me with the medi
cine of love."
"With the medicine of nonsense."
"Well, that is the formula for love's
tonic."
"I did not come to be insulted."
"Nor shall you be."
"Tell me plainly what you want."
"I want to marry you."
"But don't you think that I prefer to
look higher than a grocer?"
"Possibly, but I don't prefer to look
higher than a doctor. You suit me well
enough. Probably you don't know it,
but at one time in my life I could have
married a seamstress."
"That's encouraging, surely. Could
you have married anyone else?"
"Yes, I think that a female barber was
once smitten with me. She did not say
so, but she shaved delightfully, and on
one occasion refused to charge anything;
and I confess that this was a strong pull
in her favor. If she had refused the
second time I believe that I should have
proposed."
"I don't know whether to love you or
be angry."
"Let me decide. Love me."
"All right, I will."
"When will you begin?"
"Let me see what time it is," she said,
looking at her watch. "A quarter past
nine. Well, I will begin at teu
o'clock."'
I could not help laughing at this. We
continued to talk; she said not a word
of love, but looked at her watch occa-
sk nrfliy.
"Isn't it nearly ten?" I asked.
"Wants two minutes."
"Do you love me now?"
"I will in one minute and a half.
How is the grocery business anyway?"
"Picking up all the time."
"I have never known many grocers to
get rich," she remarked, holding her
watch open. "I knew one that " She
shut the watch with a loud snap, and
looking affectionately at me, said: "I
love you."
There are many mean people in this
world, and I think the very meanest is a
quack doctor, a fellow named Piddias C.
Jones. Why do I think so? I will tell you.
Tiie other day, in speaking of my wife,
he said: "Dr. Dapson never had but two
patients. She killed one and married
the ether." Arhansaw Traveler,
236,000 Horse Power From a Mill Race.
Colonel Hope, of London, England,
ha3 organized a company for utilizing
the enormous water power of Lake
Superior and constructing very extensive
works in the vicinity of Sault Ste. Marie.
The waters of Lake Superior fall at the
Sault about thirty feet to the level of
Lake Huron, and the velocity ha3 been
recorded by General Powell, of the
United States Service, as a little more
than 90,000 cubic feet a second. Colonel
Hope, who has just returned fromspend
ing several weeks on the spot, made care
ful and accurate measurements and
calculations, and finds the actual velocity
and volume of water to be 122,000 feet
per second, equivalent to 236,000 horse
power.
His company ir.tend to build a tail
race five miles long on the Canadian side, !
and a canal five miles long on the
American side. These canals will ba
each 1000 feet wide, the widest in the
world. They will construct large dry
docks on both sides, to Le filled and
emptied by gravitation. They will be
the only dry docks in the world, eo far
as Colonel Hope knows, filled and
emptied by this method. On th.3
Canadian side the principal works will be
above the rapids, and on the American
side below the rapids.
The reason of this is that the land for
factories and mills is furnished on tho
Canadian side above and on the Ameri
can side below the rapids. There will
be blast furnaces and ship yards, and it
is expected that there will be paper mills,
flour mills and other industries, whos3
motive powe. will be supplied by thi?
company or by one of the several sub
sidiary companies which it is the in
tention of Colonel Hope's company to
form. Canadian- Manufacturer,

NEW METHOD OF WAVING THE FIAIR.
There is a new method of waving the
hair at the side, by which it will remain
in undulations fcr two or three weeks.
Tiny little curls and combs can be cun
ningly inserted wherever they are re
quired, and for those who prefer to wave
their hair themselves, there is a clever
Contrivance, by which a tress is twisted
between wires, and kept firmly in place
until the desired effect is produced. In
Paris the coiffures are worn flat to the
head and to meet the wants of those who
tend to follow the coming fashion of the
catogan, M. Sobociuski has introduced a
new twist for the back of the head,
which ends at the nape of the neck in
curls. This is a long strand of hair
which, to be manipulated, is held in the
centre, the two ends intertwisted, and
the curled points slipped through the
loop at the top. This produces a pretty
effect, and it can be abo formed into a
true lover's knot. Xetr York World.
A VERY FASHIONABLE WEDDINiS.
At a recent very fashionable wedding
the bridesmaids wore pink silk dresses
brocaded with white marguerites; white
silk shirred hats trimmed with white
plumes and pink roses. Their moss
green velvet Henri Deux coats were
lined with pink silk. The two little
pages of honor, who acted as train
bearers, were attired ia white "Jack
Tar" suits, and a wee maid of honor
walked in demurely just a little in ad
vance of the bridal party, in a dress of
pink chiffon of many airy short skirts,
her dimpled neck and arms bare,and her
head a mass of short golden curls.
"Cupidiue" she was called, and she
carried a silver bow in her hands, twined
with orange blossoms,and six little arrows
were slung actoss her shoulder at the
back, these tipped with gold and
"feathered" with valley lily sprays.
During a part of the service the brides
maids chanted a very beautiful wedding
hymn, and the cereny itself :as
carried on sotto voce between the minis
ter and the "contracting parties," the
service being inaudable to any person
present save "Jack Tar" and "Cupidine,"
who stood at the minister's side. New

THE INDESCRIBABLE PARASOLS.
Is it of use to try and say a word about
the parasols? They're as indescribable
as summer clouds and about as unsub
stantial. They're very large this year,
and they have cloissonne handles most
delicately enameled. Some are egg
shaped and some flare quite like um
brellas ; these statements are more or less
prosy and definite, but when it comes to
the coverings then toss up gauze and
jewels and imagine them floating in air.
Clear yellow crepe is one example, em
broidered in gold boss with daisies, with
ruches of crepe festooned from point to
point, and deep, double crepe flounces
depending. Crepe rosettes bury the stick
point where it projects from the canopy.
White gauze is another gossamer ex
ample. A broad gold band has been
woven in tinsel threads into the sub
stance, and this circles it in festoons
caught up with square bows and
ends. From point to point drcop lace
flounces.
A third canopy is of pale lavender
crepe. The violets with which it is
dotted have cost many a weary week in
their embroidery. Crepe ruches run
down each rib and about the circle in
deep Vandyke pointings. Below the
ruches are triple crepe flouncings. Chi

FASHION NOTES.
French dressmakers still use inoire.
Ribbons the color of the fur tie tha
little collars.
Old fashioned ashes-of-roses is again
seen in silks.
Hemstitched black surah silks of triple
warp are entirely new.
It is said that stripe3will be preterred
to plaid3 for summer dresses.
Small boys are to be seen in regular
man-o'-war suits this spring.
On some of the spring goods the spot3
are as large as a small orange.
Wide flaring collars of thick silk with
velvet applique are very pretty.
Stout women are perhaps wisest who
do not appear in the scant skirts.
Little buttons representing the college
colors are the newest on the girl of the
period.
An apron of black a'apaca feather
stitched in a color wiil be found just tha
thing for the school-room, as it needs no
laundeiingand is always ready for such
an emergency a.3 to cover grease spotj, a"
torn width or a rubbed sleeve.
Pocket tidies to hold the watch and
hang on the brass bedstead are some
thing new.
In the list of jackets, the three-quarter
model, which is cut in one length far be
low the waist, then cut in tabs and neat
ly corded, is more generally becoming
than the shape which has a straight scam
joining the cross-cut iasque to the
bodice.
Nobody wears veils adorned with
beauty spots now unless the dots of court
plaster are arranged with a clever eye to
detail and effect. In other words, every
girl is her own veil raaker,and she places
the small black di9k in such a place a
will call attention to her most beautiful
feature.
For wee tots the finest cloaks are of
Ottoman or bengaline silk made with the
French back anil the loose pleated or gath
ered front. The handsomest are silk
lined and have enormous pearl buttons
and big, full sleeves with velvet collars
and cuffs; silver-gray, pale brown and
Edison blue are among the preferred col
ors. It is evident that the sheath skirt ha
come to stay for the spring and summer
at all events, even though having a-
rivals the somewhat fuller bell skirt and
the all-round English model, almo3t
always preferred by women of tall,
elender figure. The materials compos
ing the sheath skirt may be slightly
draped without adding bulk, because
the materials thus treated are invariably
soft and pliable.
The Paradise Fish.
The paradise fish, like the German'
canary, is a product of cultivation, as
there is 110 place known where it ia found
in a wild state. It is a native of China.
There they are cultivated and kept in;
aquaria as ornamental fish only. The
male is the larger of the two sexes, i
measuring, when full grown, from the
' mouth to the end of the caudal fin, three'
and a half inches. The body is shaped,
very much like that of the pumpkin seed;
sunlish. Its colors surpass in brilliancy;
any fish heretofore cultivated for the'
aquarium.
The head is ashy gray, mottled . with
irregular dark spots. The gills are
azuriue blue, bordered with brilliant
crimson. The eyes are yellow and red,,
with a black pupil. The sides of the
body and the crescent shaped caudal fin
are deep crimson ; the former having tea ;
or twelve vertical blue stripes, while the'
latter is bordered with blue.
The under surface ot the body is con-
tinually changing color sometimes it is:
white, at others gray or black. The
dorsal and anal fins are remarkably large,
hence the generic name of the fish
macro, large; podus, the foot or fin.
Both fins are shaped alike. They are
striped and dotted with brown and bor
dered with blue. The dull-colored
ventral fins are protected by a brilliant
scarlet-colored spine, extending three
fourths of an inch behind the fins. The
pectorals, situated directly above the
ventral fins, are well shaped, but, being
transparent, show no color. tNatur$'i
