A Stranra Story.

Some thirty years ago there lived in
BrOOkfeld one William S. Prink, who
was considered well-tO-do, though
blessed with but little of this world
goods. He had s wife and six children,
whom he endeavOred to care for, and,
aided by the earnings Of the elder,
children, the family lived very comfort
able. Suddenly from some unknown
cause, Prink took a fancy to young
widow and the pair elOped, Prink leaY-
ing his family Of children and wife to
the mercy of the world, while he en-
loved life with the widow. He had
been gone for some time before his
whereabouts. were known, and then on
" by his daughter to whom he had
written a few letters from Williams
town, Mass. After a time the letters
ceased, and nothing further was heard
from him until recently, when a strange
combination Of circumstances revealed
his whereabouts. Twenty-Five years
have elapsed since his disappearance,
and during the latter part Of this period
Mrs. Prink, now 73 years old, has been
living with Q married daughter. Quite
recently. however, the circumstances
Of the family were such that Mrs. Prink
applied for assistance to the town Of
Brookfeld, where the daughters family
resided. After e time the Overseers Of
the Door determined to find out whether
Mr.. Prink, was alive, and in the course
of the hunt Natick was visited. On the
assessors books the name Of William
S. Rice appears as q resident taxpayer
for nearly twenty-five years. Mr. c. II.
Griffin, one of the BrOOkheld oTerseers,
became convinced that this was the
person wanted. Taking q team to
search out the party, while on the road
between Natick and FelchYille be met
the person in question. In answer to q
oueTy, he said that his name was w.
s. Rice. and when ask If he was not in
reality w. S. Pink, formerly of Brook
field, he was forced to admit the fact.
When told by Mr.. Griffin about his wife
in Brookfeld, he said he was poor and
could do nothing for her. Thus we find
Prink a citizen OfNatick Tor twenty-five
years, living with the widow be eloped
with. She has borne him six children,
who have grown up and are married.
The town Of Natick IS supporting the
wife in BrOOkheld, but the Overseers Of
the poor are to investigate the matter,
and find out if they are obliged to sup
port her, when William 5. Prink is not
known TO be citizen of Natick, or
whether, on the other hand, they must
care for Mrs. Prink because the name Of
William S. Rice is found on the Natick
register. Mr.. Rice or PriH5. as the case
may be, has been respected in this vi
cinity, and is 4 prominent member Of
the Methodist Church.-BOStOH Globe

''Ibe question is often asked, sad
an experienced photographer, ''wl
/ actors and actresses take the most plea
| ing pictures. 1t is because they study
! the principles of art and GOOD taste IN
| their profession and understand how to
1 dress. Moreover, they usually bring q
| selection Of wells, flowers, curls, braidg
laces and sometimes costumes to give
the photographer a choice Of accesOr-
| les. They come when they are wholly
at leisure and are not flastered A red
face takes black, and they know it.
Then they do not load themselves down
with gewgaws and haberdasheries TO
show all that they have got in worldly
goods. Few persons know how to dress
for a picture like an actress. The best
materials for ladies to wear when about
to sit for q photograph are such ass VII
fold or drape nicely, like reps Winoe 8,
I pOplins, satins and silks f.arEgr i8r.
lilac, sky blue, purple and French blue
take very light and are worse for a pic
ture than pure white. Corn color and
salmon are better. China pink, rose
pink, magenta, crimson, pea green,
buff, plum color, dark purple. pure vel
low, Mazarine blue, navy blue, faWn
color, Quaker color, dove color, ashes
of roses and stone color show a pretty
light gray in the photograph. Scarlet,
claret, garnet sea green, light orange,
leather color, light Bismark and slate
color takes still darker and are excellent
cOlOrs to photograph. Cherry, wine
color, light apple green, dark orange,
golden and red brown show nearly the
same agreeable color in the picture.
A black silk always looks well, and it
takes well if not bedecked with ribbons
and laces that viii take white. Dark
Bismark and snuff brown usually take
blacker than a black silk or satin and
are not easy to drape. A silk, because
it has more gloss and reflects more LIGHT,
usually takes lighter than a wooden
dress. Ladies with dark or brown hair
should avoid contrasts in their costumes,
as light substances photograph more
quickly than dark, and ladies with light
hair should dress in something lighter
than those whose hair is dark or brown.
Few ladies understand how to arrange
their hair so as to harmonic with the
form of the head, but blindly follow the
fashion be the neck long or short or the
face narrow or broad. A broad face
appears more so if the hair is arranged
low over the forehead or is parted at the
side, and a long neck becomes stOrk-
like when the hair is built up high, while
a few curls would make q most agree
able change in the effect. Powdered
hair gives good effect, and powder
should be bestowed upon freckles. -

What Mamma Said,

The young woman who. with her low
er and little niece, sat in the shadow of
the curtain while the company was in
the room adjoining, had a good deal of
presence of mind when the niece said
very loud, ''Kiss me, too, Aunt Ethel.
''You should say kiss me tl0tce, or kiss
two times, not twO," said Aunt Ethel
calmly. 1t is to be hoped that the we'll
known English "beauty lady was
equal to the occasion, also, when an ell
derly and eminently respectable gentle
man made an afternoon call, and, as
elderly gentlemen often do, he took un
the child and kissed her. You must
not do thai" said the child, struggling,
q am a respectable married wOmanr'
''What do you mean, my dear?n asked
the astOnished visitor. "Oh, that's
what mamma always says when gentle
men kiss herr' replied the artIess iu-
fant.-DehOt Tree Press.

A German who came over with the
last party of MOrmOns was interviewed
by a reporter. He puffed immense vol
umes Of smoke from an old-fashioned
-Schleswig-Holstein pipe, and gazed at
the reporter mOOdily. The interview is
thus given:
Have YOU an idea that you'll like
MOrmOnism, ehr' asked the latter.

moving the pipe from his mouth and

replaced his pipe, scowled as terribly
as the lymphatic condition Of his sys-

Further on an Englishman was encOun-
tered. When asked how long he had
been a member of the Mormon Church
he replied, Five months"

"How many wives are you going to

This man and the German whom the
reporter had first spoken to, and, in fact,
all the members of the band, were stall
wart fellows, and looked as though they
might have been well-tO-dO mechanics
and farmers in the old countries. The
women were particularly neat, and not
few of them were exceedingly come
". They were modest in demeanOr
and shrank from the gaze Of the spec
tators, with whom the garden was
crowded. They were mostly under %
years Of age, and had been maids Of
all work in London, Glasgow and Ber-
lin. A pair Of very pretty, plump lasses
had been taken from behind London
beer bars and attracted across the At
Iantic by the elOquence Of the mission
aries.

are let out, fine weather may be certain;
but if the spider remains inert, rain will
probably follow within a short time.
