The bag OF Coin.

Mr.. Winman found a bag Of coin on
State street, Chicago, aud piously raised
his eyes and blessed Providence for sud
denly raising him to opulencc. Arriving
at hls abode by long and circultous route,
he found said bag to contain exactly nine
dollars and sixty-tivc cents in filthy nickel.
Then Peter smote his brow, and quoth he
unto himself: "Lo. am not above cor.
ruption3 | will return this d. unto
It's owner" And he advertised the same,
and the owner thereof appeared and took
it away, yea, and was cxubcrant.
And in those days it came to pass that
the friends of Peter heard of this thing,
and they lifted up their voices and said:
"Blesscd is he that has done this, tor
indeed is he honest, and the same shall be
exalted.
''And his days shall be long in the house
he has rented, and his mother in. law shall
dwell with him.
'lle shall have skating-rnl1 and liver
pad, Kerosene stove and much beer, and
TWO Bcrnhardt tickets and be rappy,-
yea, and car-mutfs shall be his aud the
goldman and the wicked plumber shall not
prevail against him.
''For shall we not 60 down to the house
OF him thai has wrought this deed, and
take our wives and our children, that they
may rot on his suhstancc2
'And Peter shall Setumup, which, being
interpreted, is treat"
Ana they went down, and Peter sur
named Winman, Sctumup.
And behold, when the end of the week
was come, Peter sat alone in his house,
from which the sound of festival had d.
parted; his wife had fled with his mother
in-law, and his mother-in-law sojourned in
Bridgeport, and the ncighbors had broken
the windows, and Peters substance was
exhausted, save indeed little corn and n
little oil.
And he put the little oil on the little
corn, and did it up in rcd flannel.
And he thought of his honest deed, and
lifted up his voice and said cammtt,
which being interpreted is bad.
And his friends stood nfar pff, and

a Railroad on loo.

A railroad Is to be built on ice in Russia
Cronstadt is II yc miles from the coast, and
eighteen from the capital. In the summer
communication is easily and chcaply main

Gulf Of Finland becomes coated with ice,
Cronstadt has to depend for transportation

rough little sledges, never trustw JrLhy and

system has led the Baltic hallway Com

accomplished in eight or nine DAYS. AS
soon as the Ice Is reported sufficiently strong
by the engineers, gangs of lnborcrs will
proceed to lay down slccpcrs on The fiat,
frozen surface, freezing them into position
by means of u few buckets of waters. The
I'd IL will then be fixed on, and light trains
will convey passengers and goods direct to
their destination. The only real difficulty
about the enterprise is tho ability 0; the
ice to support heavy weights, but as IL is
rarely less than yard thick in this quarter
OF the Gulf of Finland, and is supported at
intervals by sandbanks, the engineers
themselves anticipate no trouble on this
score

gout, stammcrlng, mutilation, or other
bodily afllictions. At recent conference
OF Baptist clcrgymcn in New Jersey, the
whole subject was discussed and the con-
clusion reached that it was mental afflic-
ton which he endured tor the sake of his
religion. Some, however. argued that it
was brand on his forehead or hand, as a
token OF fidelity, just as the Indian Brah-
mins burn sign OF their deity upon their
forehead. And one member SAID that a
Chicago minister preached sermon to
prove that 1t was some bodily infirmity,
because all great preachers were afflicted
In that way. Even In this age, he said,

young man, now long deceased, shot one
near his fathers place in the eastern corner
OF Upper Dublin township in 1913, that
measured seven feet and tour inches, What
was peculiar with this eagle, his body was
found full of parasites as large /as honey

Under tho Rose.

The true origin of the term "under the
rose" Is undoubtedly to be sought from the
very oriental connection of that flower
with the rites of the worship of Venus. In
all the early mythologies, tho rose was en-
ploycd in crowning the Queen OF Love, or
her worshipers, and in many instances it is
a symbol Of the divinity h"rself. The Sc
crccy with which these religious mysteries
were yelled, would sufficiently Indicate the
reason why the symbols connectcd with 1t
were also typical otsilence. There is abund-
ant evidence that the use of the rose as
symbol of silence is of far greater antiquity
than the days Of Romans or Norscmcn.
There has arisen much petty controversy
about the common expression "under the
rose" ard two different origins have been
assigned. Some persons assert that it
ought to be spelt "undcr the rows" for
that in former days almost all towns were
built with the second story projecting over
the lower onc---,i sort of piazza, or row, as
they termed IL, and which may still be seen
at Chester and some other ola English
towns; and that, whilst the elders OF the
family were sitting at their windows, grave.
ly enjoying the air, their sons and daugh-
tiers were making love where they could not
see them, "under the rows" Ihe other is
much more elegant. Cupid it is said, gave
a rose to Harpocrates, the god of silence;
and from this legend originated the prac-
tice that prevailed amongst Northern ma
tions of suspending rose from the ceiling
over the upper emu OF the table, where 1t
was intended that the conversation was TO
be kept secret; and that 1t was, according
to others, which gave rise to the phrase,
'under the rose."

Visiting Cards.

When ordinary calls arc made, it is GUS
tomary, Of course, as it has always been,
to send in a card by the servant to announce
your name and presence, and to leave your
card, If the person visited is absent. This
is common sensible, and all true etiquette
is founded Oh common sense. But where
many visitors are anticipated, as on New
Years day, or at general receptions, it is
expected that cards shall be left, and they
are left in very irregular manner. 1t is
natural to hand the card to the servant
who opens the door, and most pcrs ons
would do 80 at once, especially when they
see tho servant armed with card tray.
But when the company is large, and has
been formally Invited, it seems superllu-
Gus, If not absurd, to prcccde yourself
with card; nor is it supposed that you
will. Nevertheless it is presumed that you
will drop card Oh leaving, or before
leaving, and you comply with the fashion
whether you approve it or not. On New
Years day, for instance, some servants are
provided with trays, and, Oh admitting
you, receive your card. Some of them
carry 1t into the drawing room, and you
lnstinctiveiy wait in the hall until it has
been delivered, for to accompany your
card renders the card redundant. Again,
the servant informs you that the ladies are
receiving, and asks you to step IN, retaining
your card, so as to make you feel, If you
are not familiar with, or independent OF,
etiquette, as if you have made mistake.
AT other places the servant has no tray,
and you are privileged to leave the card in
the basket, usually standing in the hall,
either going in or coming out. There is
no positive rule on the subject, but it is
generally more convenient or less awkward
to leave the card coming out. At Kettle
drums, which everybody prctends to dis
like, and yet which continue in vogue, de-
spite numberless manifest obiec,lons to
them, the same custom of leaving cards
prevails, and of leaving them IN
the same uncertain way. At evening parties
or private receptions cards are never left
although there is just as much reason for
leaving them there as at kctllc-drums. The
excuse offered for leaving cards on New
Years, at kettle-drums, and general re-
ceptions. is that the hostess may know
who has called, or practically accepted her
invitation. But she has the same cause
and, doubtless, the same desire, for know.
ing on any other social occasion. Etiquette
Is often very fantastic and fnicaI, but
sound etiquette is, we repeat, 90 based on
common sense that it may generally be
OWNED by delicate instinct In regard
to cards, no man or woman of fine ap-
prehension or good breeding would think
of leaving card at a general assembly of
any kind, unless before entering drawing
room, and this is unqucstlonabIy the be t
rule of the best society.
