Groaning and Worrying.

A not very poetical person, desiring
to leave behind him something which
would serve either as an inscription
for his tombstone or q condensed his
tory of his experience while an In
valid, wrote something on this wise:
"Pain was my portion; physic was
nv food groans were my devotion
drugs did me no good.n To the cheer
full soul who will In the light OF this
composition study the mental make
mn of the sufferer who indited it, it is
easy to see why "drugs did him no
good" Pain is discoursglng physic
is indigestibls but q devotional diet OF
proans is as unsatisfactory spiritual
refreshment as can be devised. Inc
state into which q man car by this
process worry himself is one not to be
aimed at by any reasonable human
being. And possibly those who give
up to a habit of groaning and com
planning are q little wrong-minded.
Unhappily there are many people
whose experience takes this turn.
They are not always invalids, but are
often those who are blessed with q fair
share of health and other good things
and might be happy II they would.
The habit of groaning and lament
ing is an evil one. 1t lightens no
burden, cheers nc sorrow, helps no
task. 1t shuts out the sunshine
deepens the gloom. 1t chills thank
fulness and promotes a spirit OF soul
asperity. 1t ruins the disposition OF
children who come within its iniu-
epce. 1t makes those who indulge In
In il blind to everything that produces
happiness and keenly alive to all that
promotes misery. BY long experience
In complaining and bewailing people
can reach a depth of woe they never
contemplated when they first set out.
To meet such people is to come under
an unpleasant influence. No matter
how bright the day or how CHEEKY the
circumstances to those who have heart
and eye for the bright and delightful,
these groaners are always plaintively
finding something. which is not ex-
actly the way they would have it and
which they fear will be worse to-mor-
row than 1t is to-day.
Every mortal has his burdens and
discomforts. BY picking the burden
up fifty times a day and weighing 1T
1t becomes no lighter, but rather pro-
duces an increased sense OF heaviness.
By worrying over the discomforts they
become none the more comfortable,
but are harder to endure and give
cause for more and more worry and
complaint. To ignore them may be
impossible. We are not called upon
to do that. But by turning the sun
light on them and greeting them with
the merriest laugh we can raise we
can tighten them and melt them as
cakes OF lee are melted in the MONDAY
sun, so that when we look for them
we find they are gone and wonder
who has carried them away. Blessed
be the sunshine that comes with its
benediction to the weary and lightens
the burden of the heavy heart.

The Fitch of Bacon.

The custom Of the fitch Of bacon at
Dunmow IL not the least curious among
those which rural parishes present
Far back in the old days when there
was a priory at Dunnow, In Essex
the monks made a promise Of q fitch
of bacon to any married couple VINO
could take oath that they had never
ouarreled nor regretted their union.
Whether the bachelor monks only In
tended to encourage copjugal har-
mony, or whether they strictly be-
lieved that married folks never do live
together twelve months without dis
cord, we can guess as best we may.
At any rate the successful applicants
for the fitch were few and far between.
The priory was suppressed at the
Reformation, but the old custom sur.
vived, the fitch being given by the
lord of the ano In the last century
the ceremony was conducted with
much parade. The couple appeared at
a court baron, Jury Of unmarried per-
sons heard the averments, and II the
results were satisfactory, a verdict was
given to the effect that the couple had
been married at least n year, that
they had lived quietly and lovingly
together, and that they were deserv-
ing of the promised prize.
The verdict being delivered, the
happy couple, standing near the
church door, made a declaration, re-
ceived the fitch, and we're chsired In
procession through the town. The
lords of the manor by degrees declined
to offer the tempting bonus, and the
viewed unfavorably some of the
incidents accompanying the proceed
ings. Twenty or thirty years ago q
few literary men revived the ceremony
at their own expense, more as a whim.
steal Joke for that one occasion than as
q permanent custom. From time to
time the local journals record an OBJ
servance of the ceremony. There is
reason to believe, however, that specu-
Iative trade is mainly concerned here,
the fitch being provided by some tav-
ern interested in bringing together a
assemblage of thirsty souls.

An Odd VIII.


An eccentric man died in San Fran
cisco recently, leaving some ss5, 900 in

that he had made no will. Careful
search of his effects, however, discov-
cred a Photographic will in an old boot.

law, and read:

Indian Tea aud Chinese.

What chance has India In the race
with China? Indian teas have always
sold at higher prices than Chinese,
and one reason is that Indian gees
further. Very little tea is now sold In
the United Kingdom Of which one
quarter at least is net Indian. Were
the Indian supply to tomorrow,
the public would quickly perceive how
weak their teas had become. By the
said mixture with China teas the peo-
pie have, little by little, been educated
to appreciate the Indian favor. In
Ireland, for example, 1t has gone fur
ther-there Indian teas to q great ex-
tent are drank pure. The advocates
of the Indian produce say that many
discard Chinese for our Eastern teas,
but never the reverse. Anyhow, it is
a fact that the consumption has in
creased enormously las shown In spite
of the yearly largely increased imports
by the small stock now on band).
There is another point In favor of
Indian teas-they r known to be
pure and unadulterated, and 80 much
cannot always be said for Chinese.
Some teas are yearly officially con-
demned, but we believe this has never
once occurred in tie case of Indian
teas. AS the imports of Indian teas
have increased yearly since 1850 (they
were merely nominal then) to $1,000.
900 pounds this year, Chat was the
estimate; the amount available, due
partly to weather, partly to the largely
increased exports to Australia, will
not exceed As, 600 900 pounds,) and as
the stock, now near the end of the
year, is far less than usual, 1t is evil
dent that the statistical position is
satisfactory. Machinery is now largely
used in the manufacture of tea in In
dis. A well-appointed India tea fac
tory shows a stem engine of perhaps
twenty horse power, working rollers,
driers, equalizers, shutters, and what
Dot. The Chinese have been making
tea for a thousand years, and yet the
rule there is handmade tea. In India
the industry dates back some forty
years, aud all is done by machinery.
his gives the Indian planter q great
advantage in his race with China. As
with all industries, SO with tea the
work is done more regularly, better,
in a more cleanly way, and far more
economically by machines than by
hand. If India ever vies with China
in the aggregate of her tea exports, ii
wilibe due mainly tosthe use Of ma
chinery In manufacture, for labor
would fail otherwise.

s~culptors' Stories.

Sculptors who execute busts often
hear droll things said. Here are two
anecdotes taken from a French news
paper. A sculptor had produced the
likeness of a celebrated parsonage, in
whose biography IL was mentioned
that he regarded architecture as a
very secondary art. The son of this
parsonage visited the artists studio
for the purpose of examining the bust,
when, after considering it with the
air of a connoisseur, he said could
you not express more clearly his con-
tempt for ar%chitecture7"
Another time 1t was the husband Of
a beloved deceased wife who came to
see her bust. "Pray, study 1t we'll"
said the artist. at is only in the clay,
and / can alter It." The widower
looked at it with the most. tender in
terest. at is her very self!" he ex-
claimed cher large nOse-the sign of
goodness! Then bursting into tears,
he exclaimed /: "She tFas so good!
Make the nose q little laTger!'
The above seems capped by the per-
sonal recollection of a correspondent,
who writes as follows: Quite fifty
years ago-for it was at the time that
the exhibition of the Royal Academy
was held in Somerset House-I was
paying a visit to the room devoted to
sculpture. There was but three or
four persons in the, room, and the ST.
lence was complete, until it was bro
ken by the exclamation of a girl of
fourteen, who was evidently under
the care of a motherly sort of a woman
of about fifty years of age. oh, there's
Lord B.! cried the young girl, how
like!, pointing to the bust, which was
in truth an excellent representation of
a well known statesman. Like? re-
torted the elder parsonage in a tone of
ineffable scorn. 'Likei Why don't l
know his face as well as / know yours,
and isn't his nose alwaystwitching!' ="

For the Fair Sex.
The Latest Fashions.


The latest fichus are long and mar
row.
Parasols of watered silk for full
dress.
Bayadere stripes appear on many
new parasol covers.
Elder, sycamore and lichen green
are stylish spring shades.
The present rage is for dark hose,
dark hats and dark gloves. Hat,
gloves and stockings match.
Bouquets of roses and other large
flowers and large bows of ribbon adorn
the tops of handsome psrasols.
New parasols aud umbrellas have
handles of the wood of the natural
stick, knobbed. crutched and hooked.
V-shaped w~aistcoats, the v termi-
mating at the waist line. is a feature in
handsome spring walking jackets.
Cashmere serges in broad stripes,
and with raw silk Droche effect in bor-
ders and designs, are late novelties.
Stylish contrasts for bonness are
Holbein green with pale blue, celadon
with rose, opal with olive, and salmon
pink with gray-blue.
Spring fans are in various designs.
Some are of lace and flowers, others
are hand. painted on satin, while others
are made entirely of feathers. :
Dress skirts are wider this season.
They measure two and a-half yards
around the bottom. The draperjes
are more bouffant and elaborate than
last season.
A masculine caprice in handker-
chiefs is for white hemstitched bor-
ders decorated with printed figures,
Arabs on h ,rseback in rapid motion,
dogs chasing hares and similar devices
In color artistically executed.
New designs In very rich silks show
marvellous effects of shading flowers
and foliage upon tinted grounds. Egg
lantine and honeysuckle are produced
with wonderful fidelity, and even in
the minutest details, with all the skill
of hand painting.
Scotch zephyr ginghams are less
snowy than last year. The majority
of the patterns are small, cool-lookine
checks. There are some that are larger,
but none that at all reach the dimen-
sions OF the high coloring of last sea-
son. There Is no washing material SO
durable and useful a tubs.
SILK grenadines are very handsome
and snowy; the patterns are large,
and consist of spots, leaves and flowers
of immense size, with plush centres
and satin edge and veining upon a fine
washed ground. There are also quite
new grenadines, with embroidered
dots in the form of clover leaf or sham.
