Consolation Even on a Mixed Train.
Irdreller's Magazine.


On some of the Western roads they
attach passenger car to freight train
and call it "mixed." 1t isn't in the Or
der of things that such trains should
travel very rapidly, and sometime there
is considerable growing among the
traffic"
"Are we most there, conductor ~
asked a nervous man for the hundredth
time. "Remember my wife is sick and
I'm anxious"
"We'll get there on time" replied the
conductor, stolidly.
Half an hour later the nervous man
approached him again.
81 guess she's dead now" said he,
mournfully, "but I'd give you little
something extra II you could manage to
catch up with the funeral. May be she
won't be so decomposed but what 1
would recognize her..
The conductor growled at him, and
the man subsidized.
Conductor" said he, after an hours
silence, Conductor, If the wind isn't
dead ahead, | wish you would put on
some steam. I'd like to See where my
wife Is buried, before the tombstone
crumbles to piecesl Put yours in my
place for q momentW
The conductor shook him of, and the
man relapsed into profound meian-
choiy.
81 say, conductor" said he after long
pause, "Tve got note coming due in
three months. Can't you fix it so as to
rattle along a littlem .s.,r
"If you come near me again I'll knock
you downw snorted the conductor, saw
agely.
The nervous man regarded him sadly
and went to his seat. Two hours later
the conductor saw him chatting gayly,
and laughing heartily with brother
victim, and approached him. ~,

deathm ... 49, ..... ..... ..
"Time heals all wounds" sighed the
nervous man.
"And you are not so particular about

ACivn Marriage i'm India.

From the Eastern, COnStdntlnopte. Express.
A rather interesting ceremony in the
line of civil marriage took place ON the
18th Of July in India, when a Hindoo
lady was married to Brahmin, both
of whom declared that they protested
no religion. The declarations were
to the effect that they were not at the
time married; that they do not profess
the Christian, Parsi, Jewish, Hindoo,
Mahommedan, Buddhist, Sikh, or Jain
religion; that they had respectively
completed the ages of eighteen and
fourteen years; and that they were not
related to each other in any degree Of
consanguinity or affinity which would
according to law render marriage be-
tween them illegal. After this was done
the brides mother put garlands of flow
ers round the necks of the young couple,
and they having in the presence of the
registrar and witnesses said, 81 take
thee to be my lawful wife-husband"-
the party were served with fruits, nose
gays and rose water, and then separated.
This is one of the first instances of Indian
natives having been married without
RELIGIOUS rites

MOTHERS WAY.
on within our little cottage,

OF within our little cottage,
As the shadows geatly fan,
While the sunlight touches softly,
One sweet face upon the wall,
Do We gather close together,
And In huShed and tender tone,
Ask each others full forgiveness
For the wrong that each has done,
should you wonder At this custom
At the ending OF the day,
Eve and voice would quickly answer;
"It was once our mothers way
flour home be bright and CHEEKY,
IL IL hold a welcome true,
Opening wide its door Of greeting
To the many-not the few;
FIVE share our fathers bounty
With the needy, day by day,
lis because our hearts remember
This was ever mothers way.
Sometimes when our hearts grow weary,
Or our task seems very long,
When our burdens look too heavy,
And we deem the right all wrong,
Then We gain a new fresh courage,
AS We rise 10 proudly say;
"Iet us do our duty bravely,
This was our dear mothers way"
Thus we keep her memory precious,
" hiie We never cease 70 pray,
That At last when lengthenlnS shadows
Mark the evening of hfeS day.
They may find US waiting calmly
To 90 home our mothers way.

Michel Says Wives should strike.

Mile. Louise Michel is now on the
war-path, and this time she has been
enlivening Paris on the subject of
women's rights. She begins first of all
by proving conclusively the superiority
of women to men. "rhe proof OF wo-
mans superiority" is she says, THAT
woman always does what she makes up
her mindl to-" This was founded on
the proverb: &c que femme Uet Dieu te
Ueia. There is nothing like good
proverb on any given subject, as no one
will take the trouble to prove you are
wrong, especially when Insults your au-
dience to believe it, and so the great
"Citoyeune's" first proposition was I'M
disputed. The only way of asserting
that superiority, she said, was strike.
If all wives and daughters would strike
against their husbands, fathers, broth
ers, etc, for a week, the whole thing
would be settled. She and few other
spetroleuses," she said, had determined
20 free the women of France. 1t is
quite evident that Mile. Michel has
never read the fable of Menenius Agrip-
ia, and that her Roman history and So
GEOLOGY want polishing up. Cutting Oft
your nose to spite your face, as Agrlppa
told the disconnected Romans, Is no
remedy, and though Mile. Michel may
think otherwise, ami disbelieve in ia
bles, yet sometimes they are of use even
to social reformers.

Santa Claus,

The patron saint of the children is
almost here. Were he coming in a
sleigh as he does in the North, we
could soou hear the jingling of his
bells; but he does not come with any
of the cold requirements of the land
OF ice and SNOW. He slips in as ST.
lently as a sun beam. The visible
tokens of his visitations dawn upon
us as the opening rose at break of
day. Instead Of holly berries he
wears carnations in his button hole
and only the snoW-of white blossoms
adOrns his raiment. In this realistic
age there is danger of all the old,
beautiful creations of our fanciful
childhood being buried under i'm
movable mountains of sober fact
We would like to say word for
dear old ''Santa Claus" Let the
children of today believe in him as
firmly as did the little ones of yes
terday. The sweetest hours of Child.
hood were spent in fairy land. The
bloom and poetry of all creeds is to
be found in the quaint ''folk-loren
the children of all ages have delight
ed in. Let the dear personalities of
these unreal but beautiful beings
whose exploits have held the listen
ing babes for centuries spell bound,
remain in their tender credence un
til the inevitable experience of an
earnest, responsible and perhaps
existence shall have crowd |
ed them out or covered them with |
the withered leaves IF other as beau. |
