HIS “LITTLE FELLER.” Glorified and Made Beautiful the Humble Home. “T happened to be down in my cellar | the other morning when the ashman came around tv collect the ashes,” said |@ gentleman who resides on Second avenue to a Detroit Free Press man. \“T was opening a barrel of great red | apples at the time, and when the big, |dust-covered and necessarily untidy | man came back with the empty ash | barre! I picked up an apple and held it | out toward him, saying as I did so: “*Won’t you have an apple?” “He took it eagerly, saying as he did £0: “«Thank ye, sir; I’ve a little feller it.I most always find something or other in the ash barrels to carry home to 'im at night, but it ain’t often I gil! anything equal to this big apple. I tell ye the little feller’s eyes will shine when he see it.’ “I don’t know how many times that day my thoughts were of that big, reugh-handed fellow, with that apple put away so carefully in his pocket for that ‘little feller.’ “When evening came I thought of the ‘little feller’ who was on the look- out for the big, dust-covered father, | with the calloused and soiled hands, ; but with the true heart and the kindly word that made him a king in the eyes of that ‘little feller.’ “Yt must have been a very poor and humble home to which the man went at the close of his weary day, but then there was the ‘little feller’s’ presence to mdke beautiful even the bare walls and floors and to bring the love light | to his father’s eyes and joy to his father’s heart. “These ‘little fellers’ glorify and beautify many a home in which poverty abides. But human affections can sweetly and patiently endure toil and rags and poverty when there is a ‘lit- tle feller’ to meet and greet the father when the long day is done.” eed HIS GRANDMOTHER’S GIFT. The Colonel Cooled Off When He Knew Who That Grandmother Was. A good story comes from Berlin. At a ball given there not very long ago a pompous colonel] ran up against a young officer evidently fresh from the military schools, whose only decoration was a large medallion set in brilliants. "I say, lieutenant, what the dickens is that concern you have on?” scorn- fully asked the elder warrior. “It’s an order, colonel,” answered the | young man modestly. ; “An order? Not a Prussian one. I know of no sech,” retorted the colonel jealously. “An English order, cclonel,” | returned the lieutenant. “And who in the world gave it to | you?” interrogated the other, with his nose in the air. “My grandmother,” said the young man with a twinkle in his blue eyes. “The oid colonel began to think the young man was making game of him. “Potztausend, and who may your grandmother be?” he exclaimed irately. “Her Majesty Queen Victoria of Eng- land,” said the lieutenant, whose face was dancing with merriment by this time. -It was Prince Albert of Schles- wig-Holstein: The colonel got very red in the face: and withdrew, with a pro- found bow of apology, to take a back seat for the rest of the evening. Prince Albert has been making merry over the incident ever since, and even grand- mamma hereelf had a good laugh when she was told of it. Sac5 A Wonderfal Clock. Undoubtedly one of the most wonder- ful clock in the world was that origi- nally manufactured for the late Duke Charies of Brunswick, and which is now being exhibited in St. Petersburg. There’ are no’ fewer than ninety-five faces to this colossal time piece. It indi- cates simultaneously the time of day at thirty different spots on the surface of the carth, besides the movement of the | earth around the sun, the phases of the moon, the signs of the zodiac, the pissage over the meridian of more j than fifty stars of the northern hemi- sphere, and the date, according tu the Gregorian, Greek, Mussulman, and Ee- brew calendars. At his death, Prince Charles bequeathed the clock to the Swiss confederation. So complicated are the works that it took two years to mildly been sent in detached pieces from Switzerland to Russia. at home who'll be tickled to death to git | i acieEnm TWENTY YEARS. Mira Bascom Found. She “Was ‘Still” Beautifal. He did not call on her that first even- four times, unaware of the fact that behind one of those slanting shutters a pale woman stood watching him pass and repass, says Lippincott’s. The nun in her self-elected cell had and made use of means of communication with the world, in the shape generally of Jimmy the choreboy. She knew whose was the tall figure on the side- walk. She stood at the window when she could no longer see him; she heard his slow footsteps go by for the last time and die away. Half an hour later she went upstairs to her bedroom. Be- tween its two windows hung. a long, old-fashioned mirror, with carved can- delabra on either side. She lighted the three candles in each. The mirror showed a tall, slim figure, a face as col- orless as an anemone, an abundance of auburn hair carefully arranged. Mira Bascom studied this reflection closely. Then she unlocked a black-walnut chest which stood in a corner and lifted out its contents till she came to a mass of pale muslin, which diffused an odor of lavender as she shook it out. It was a white gown with lilac sprigs, made with the full skirts and sleeves of a bygone fashion. She put it on, fastened the belt of lilac ribbon, which still fitted exactly, and, standing again before the mirror, loosened slightly the bands of her beautiful wavy hair and pulled it into little curls about her face. It was a vision’ of youth which looked back at her from the glass. Nota thread of gray showed in the hair; the fine lines about the placid eyes were invisible. The skin had the dead whiteness of things kept from the sun. But as she gazed a del- icate flush overspread her face, her red-brown eyes lit up till their color matched her hair; she smiled in startled triumph. She was still beau- tiful. Then a swift change came over her. She blew out all but one of the candles | and, turning her back on the mirror, took off her gown with cold, shaking fingers. MUSICIANS’ WHIMS. Most of Them Are Daft About Some Things. I am tickled to know that Wagner was an exact and expensive dresser, and that Beethoven was a sloven with an old coat and slippers trodden down at the heels, says the Contemporary Review. It interests me to hear that Paganini always carried a shirt in his | fiddle case because he sweated so pro-7 fusely over his solos that he had to change between his parts if he played twice. delssohn was a perfect child about pastry, which he could never resist and which he always.ate (especially cherry pie) and which always disagreed with him, that: Schumann injured his third finger by tying it back to his wrist with a+string because he hoped to make it more supple—it ended, how- ever, in his almost losing the use of play over passages which he thought he was likely to play inaccurately at his prodigious recitals. When Thral- berg “was at the height of his fame he wouldn’t even carry an umbrella for, fear of it cramping the muscles of his hand; Malibran loved nothing so much as romping with Mocheles’ chil- dren*on the floor; Paganini was so stingy that he would stand up under shelter in the rain and keep a whole opera house full waiting sooner than call a cab.. Prof. Ela told me he found him one day crouching under Arcade in Regent street and that he gave this artless explanation. ney coaches,” he said, ‘in London were so expensive!” and this when he had doubled the prices at the opera house where he played and was rolling in money. Extra for Lying. Old Maid (to messenger)—Give him the letter and if he asks you who sent it, just say “‘a beautiful’ young lady.” Messenger—I shall charge you 10 cents more for that. First English Christmas Tree. Christmas trees were unknown in England until the reign of Queen Vic- toria. After the present prince of Wales had become three or four years old Prince Albert ornamented a Christ- mas tree for the infant prince. The idea pleased the people and as Christ- mas trees were every year made a feature of the court celebration the fashion soon spread among the Eng- lish.—Boston Globe. Like a Bird. Smith—You told me your friend sang like a bird. put them together after the clock had, voice. How can you say it is like a bird’s? Jones—Well, the bird I meant ».
