A Determined (Oficial. A Bangor drummer recently saw a woman enter the train at North Bucks- port and rush through the car just as it was getting speedy. He coolly walked after her and just before the fatal leap gtasped her firmly to his manly bosom. She struggled, but be only tightencd | his grip, saying, ‘Madam, you sha’n't jump off the car and kill yourself!" When she got ber breuth, she shrieked, **You big fool, I was only going out on the platform to wave my handkerchief to my friends.’’ A party of Bangor yachtsmen aboard the train applanded the drummer for his heroism fully half an hour and at intervals thereafte:.—

Ihe Golden Kose, The golden rose that the pope is to bestow upon the Princess Marie Louise is not a single blossom, but a gleaming

branch, composed of several flowers buds, leaves and even thorns, the rose at the top being the largest. It is all of

purest gold, and within the rose ica tiny golden cup, with a lid, containing musk and palm oil which the pope has blessed, The rose is planted in a vase of gold, chased with the entwined ar- morial bearings of the great prelate and the royal princess. The papal official Who is to bear the splendid gift is vest- ed with the dignity and importance of und will be received With great honors by the house of Wurt- temberg.—New York Tribune. Who Are They?

Bliss Carman, the poct, has set people guessing. He wrote in the Boston Tran- script of what he regarded as the ten greatest lyric poems in the English lan- guage. The titles were as follows: ‘‘A Northern Vigil,’’ ‘‘A Spring Song,’’

The Moondial,’’ “At the Granite

Gravedigger,’’ ‘‘The Nancy’s Pride,’’ ‘“The Red Wolf,’’ ‘‘ Be- hind the Arras,’’ ‘‘The Last Watch’’ and ‘‘In a Gondola.’’ And now some Bostouians sre complaining that they do not know the authors of all these poems, aud that they never before saw even the titles of some of them. Here is an excelient opportunity for students of poetry to display their knowledge.

The Harrisozr Tomb.

Work has been begun on the recon- straction of General William H. Har- rison’s tomb at North Bend, Ind. The old tomb of brick has been taken down entirely and one of blue limestone built. The structure is almost four feet high— that is, four feet of it can be seen above the ground. There were eight bodies in the tomb receptacles besides the remains of General Harrison. It is the general opinion of those engaged in the work of rebuilding the tomb that one of the re- ceptacles, which was left vacant in the reconstruction of the tomb for other members of the family, will some day contain the remains of ex-President Benjamin Harrison.—Exchange.

A Chinese Cemetery.

Lee Toy, the ‘‘mayor of Chinatown” in Philadelphia, and several other in- finential Chinamen of that city are about to purchase a piece of land in the suburbs, to be used as a Chinese na- tional cemetery. Speaking of the mat- ter, the Philadelphia Ledger says: ‘‘The proposed national cemetery will be the only one in existence cutside of the state of California, While intended largely as a resting place for the Celes- tial residents of this city and state, it is said that the privilege of the ceme- tery will be extended to Chinese resi- dents of New Jersey, Delaware, New York and Maryland.’’
