Woman on the Photograph.

A Mob Hill man retired early last
evening, weary with the heat and tired
out from q protracted siege of pedro,
and vainly endeavored to WOO the drowsy
god, sustained and soothed by the unin-
Corrupted flow of small talk from his
wakeful spouse. Her conversation was
not exactly in the line of curtain lee
ture, as she was not in an inharmonious
mood, but was rather seeking informa-
ton on the worlds work. Her last
question to her nodding lord was in ref.
erence to Edison and his inventions.
"How about the phonograph, dearr'
she queried; you never have explained
it to me. How does it worky'
He reused himself and answered:
"lt's . little machine that the hus
band leaves on the table while he il down
town, and on his return he turns .
crank, and it informs him Of everything
that has been said on the premises dur
ing his absence"
She meditated . moment, then broke
out:
"The fool men are always getting UP
some pesky invention, and If you bring
ono Of those things in this house III

He promised not to do 20, ii she would
let him 80 to sleep, and great silence
fell ON the room. but she il now firm In

Mothers Vacant Chair.

"Igo little farther on in your house, -
says +. Dewitt Talmage, "and l find a
mothers chair. It is very apt to be a
rocking chair. She has 80 many cares
and troubles to soothe that it must have
rockers. remember it well. It was an
old chair, and the rockers we're almost
worn out; for l was the youngest and
the chair had rocked the whole family.
It made a creaking noise as is moved,
but there was music in the sound. It
was just high enough to allow us children
to put our heads In her lap. That was
the bank where We deposited all our
hurts and worries. Oh, what . chair
that wasl 1t was entirely different from
the fathers chair-entirely different.
May you ask me how3 I cannot tell,
but We all felt it was different. Perhaps
there was about this chair more gentle
ness, more tenderness, more grief when
We had done wrong. When we were
wayward father scolded, but mother
cried. 1t was very wxkeful chair. In
the sick days of children, other chairs
could not keep awake; that chair always
kept awake-kept awake easily. That
chair knew all the old lullabies, and all
those worldless songs which mothers
sing To their sick children-songs in
which all pity and compassion and SYM
pathetic influence are combined. That
old chair has stopped rocking for good
many years. 1t may be set up in the
loft or the garret, but it holds queenly
power yet. When at midnight you went
into that shop to get the Intoxicating
draught did you not hear voice that
said, My son, why go in there?' And
when you went into the house of sin, q
voice saying, What would your mother
do if she knew you were here?' and you
were provoked at yourself, and you
charged yourself with superstition end
fanaticism, and you went to bed, and no
sooner had you touched the bed than q
voice said, What q prayerless pillow
Man! what is the matter3 This-yOu
are too near your mothers rocking
chair!' % pshawl' you say, there's
nothing in that! Pm 5000 miles away
from where was born. I'm 5000 miles

whispers; it speaks; it weeps; it
carols; it mourns; it prays; it
yearns; it thunden. A young man
went off and broke his mothers
heart, and while he was away from
home his mother died, and the telegraph
brought the son, and he came into the
room where she lay and looked upon hel
face, and cried out, 'Oh, mother, moth
er, what your life could not do your
death shall effect. This moment give
my heart to God And he kept hi
promise. Another victory for the VA
cant chair. With reference to youl
mother, the words of my text were full
filled: Thou shalt be missed, becaust

A Broken Heart.

A man is said to be " red " or white
with rage. In using these expressions,
we are physiologically speaking of the
nervous condition of the minute circu-
lation of the mans blood. "Red" rage
means partial paralysis of minute blood
vessels; and "white" rage means tenn
porary suspension of the action of the
prime mover of the circulation itself.
But such disturbances cannot often be
produced without the occurrence Of
permanent organic evils of the vital Or
gans, especially of the heart and of the
brain. One striking example is given
by DR.. Richardson, in the case of men,
Der of his own profession. "This gen.
tleman told me that an original irritabil.
ity of temper was permitted, by want of
due control, to pass into disposition of
almost persist Mt or chronic anger, 90
that every trife in his way was q cause
of unwarrantable irritation. Sometimes
his anger was 30 vehement that ali about
him were alarmed for him even more
than for themselves; and when the At
tack was ever there were hours of sorrow
and regret in private which were - ex-
hausting ~ the previous rage. In the
midst Of one of these outbreaks of short,
severe madness he suddenly felt, to use
his own expression, ~ If his "heart were
lost" He reeled under the impression,
was nauseated and faint; then recover
ing, he put his hand to his wrist and dis
covered an intermittent action OF his
heart a. the cause his faintneas. He
never completely rallied from that shock,
and to the day Of his death, 10 year.
later, he was never free from the inter.
mittency. az am broken.hearted," he
would say, physically broken-hearted.' y
And 30 he was; but the knowledge oi
the broken heart tempered narvslOualy
his passion and saved him many year,
Of Z really useful life. He died ulti
. mately from An acute febrile disofder.-

OURAY, chief of the Utes in Colorado,
is an exceptional Indian. Although re-
tanning the leadership or his wild tribes,
he lives very much after the manner of
civilized whites. He has an extensive
farm, on which he raises good cattle.
The buildings are large and the residence
we'll furnished. He rides in one of the
best carriages that could be purchased, a
present from Governor McCook, which
with a stylish team and a Mexican
driver, makes conspicuous turnout.
The farm operations and business enter
prise' of Ouray have been very success
full.

MUSHROOM towns" are generally
supposed to be confined to comparatively
young countries like our own, but the
London Builder applies the term to GER
tain portions of London's own suburbs
which have sprung up and spread widely
within a few months time. One of
these new suburban settlements which
includes about twelve roads and streets
and about 600 houses, the greater por-
ton of them occupied, was laid out
about a year ago, and the first brick laid
in September, 1877, and from present
appearances it gives promise ere many
more months elapse to house a popula-
tion of nearly 1000 inhabitants.

Emmet Wells circular of October 4th
says: With more liberal receipts and
better assortment to choose from, exporters
have been able to pick up some 400 bales of
choice hops, and for these they have paid
our highest market price. Brewers have
also bought more freely, making demand,
on the whole, sufficient to take up nearly all
the floating. stock of new. Business, no
doubt, could be largely increased with more
liberal arrivals, and without forcing
it, for orders are here from abroad for
choice hops. Receipts for the week, $50

lT is reported that colony Of two
hundred of the Trappist monks is to be
brought to this country from the home
OF the order in France and located per
manently in Pennsylvania. This will be
the second attempt to locate this order
in that state. As early as 1903 a colony
came to the state, where, however, they
remained but briefly, removing thence to
Kentucky, Missouri, Illinois, and finally
to Nova Scotia, where they still remain.
They are among the most ascetic and
austere of all the religious orders, and
their modes of life are 80 primitive that
it is not believed that they will make
many proselytes among Americans. The
order has fallen into disrepute in Europe
and has been severely prosecuted, and
even totally suppressed in some coun-
tries, among which are Germany, Swift
erland and even Italy.
