The services at this church yesterday

Yesterday was observed as Passion Sum
day, so called because it is commemorative
of the sufferings of the Saviour. In the
Catholic churches there is marked change
from the usual observances. The Veni
Gloria Patria is omitted from the mass aud
the images of the crucifxion are hid be-
meath purple coverings, as symbolical of
the hiding of Jesus from the Jews after
they had thrown stones at him.

What Men Need Wives For.

It is not to sweep the house, and make the beds, and darn the socks, and cook the meals, chiefly that man wants a wife. If this is all he wants, hired ser wants can do it cheaper than wife. If this is all, when a young man calls to see lady send him into the pantry to taste the bread and cakes she has made; send him to inspect the needle-work and bed making; or put 8 broom into her hands and send him to witness its use. Such things are important, and the wise young man will quietly look after them. But what the true man most wants of wife is her companionship, sympathy and love.
 The way of life has many dreary places in it, and man needs 8 companion to go with him. A man is sometimes over- taken by misfortune; he meets with fail ure and defeat; trials and temptations beset him; and he needs one to stand by him and sympathize.
 He has some stern battles to fight with poverty, with enemies and with sin, and he needs woman that, while he puts his arm around her and feels that he has something to fight for, will help him fight; who will put her lips to his ear and whisper words of counsel, and her hand to his heart and impart new inspira- tions. All through life-through storm and through sunshine, conflict and vic tory; through adverse and favorable winds-man needs woman's love. The heart yearns for it. A sisters and g mothers love will hardly supply the need.
 Yet many seek for nothing further than success in housework. Justly enough, half of these get nothing more The other half, surprised above measure obtain more than they sought. Their wives surprise them by bringing noble1 idea of marriage, and disclosing treas ury of courage, sympathy and love.

New York ssShoddyites'' in Doubt.

A New York letter says: I am some what surprised to hear that the congre- gation of fashionable church in this city is energetically discussing the ques- ton of fought we to visit her ?" large majority of the members, it is reported, inclining to the negative. In this case the ''her' is the mother of the pastor, who is woman of irreproachable moral character, and quiet manners. No fault can be found with this, but she has been guilty of that which determines society or Christians to withhold from her the ordinary courtesies of social life. The offense is that in former days, to support herself and family of children, she pur- sued the calling of washerwoman, and the people which worship the son of a carpenter refuses to extend social recog- hilton to 8 worthy woman who, in the faithful performance of lowly duties, has aided her son to attain his present hon. orable position.

Origin of the foundations.

General George B. Mcclellan, who, before the war, resided in Ohio as rail way engineer and is familiar with the topography of Cincinnati, said to re. porter that, in his opinion. the primary cause of the destructive overfiowing of the Ohio River, was the cutting down of the timber on the streams which feed it on the mountain sides of the Alleghany ranges. This denudation allows the waters to rush down in torrents into the larger affiuents and so into the main river; whereas, if the forests had re- mained standing, and been cut with care, the water would have been restrained. What he knows of the situation leads him to believe that the inundation is now too widespread to admit of any effectual remedy, but in order to the prevention of these terrible and devastating floods it is in the first place essential to establish and enforce forest laws such as now exist in similar cases in Europe, where the re- plantation of timber is made obligatory and goes on as fast as the cutting of the trheS

A Tank on Wheels.

One of the palace cars belonging to the United States Fish Commission started lately for California with pas senger list of young fish numbering 5000. The car in it's appearance, and to large extent in it's internal arrange ments, resembles modern sleeping car. There are the compartments at each end. In the one compartment is what may be called the office of the superintendent. Here is table fixed between two seats, with hanging lamp above. The space above the two ice tanks, which are built upon each side of the passageway, and are used when necessary to cool the4air that passes through the fish tanks in the car, is utilized for pigeon holes.
 The compartment at the other end is used for kitchen. The central part of the car has an aisle running through the centre, and, in place of the seats on each side, are wide wooden lodges about three feet high, on which are placed the tin fish tanks. Berths like those in sleep ing-cars are along the side for the use of the superintendent and his assistants. The dining table is placed in the aisle, with seats in the lodges. The human passengers, as well as the fish, live in the car.
 The fish are not placed iii the tanks filled with water, as the motion of the train would dash the water about and destroy many lives among the young passengers. Instead, about twenty fish are placed in gallon tin pails, and these pails are put in the tanks, and then the latter filled with water. With the carp, however, the water in the pails is sufici- ent, and the motion of the car tends to the circulation of air in the water, keep ing it fresh. The attendants, however, renew the water every eight hours, and keep careful watch to remove any fish that may have died. The percentage of fish lost by death is. however, very small.
 The fish do not complete their travels when they leave the car. For instance: The first stop which will be made by this car will be at St. Louis, where fish will be left for applicants residing in Missouri and Arkansas. From this point pails of fish will be sent all over the States by express at the expense of the con- signee.- Washington Stoa.

A Pirate Schooner.

News recently arrived that & British schooner called the Gazelle, belonging to the Seychelle Islands, and supposed to be pirate, had been captured at Jo- hama by her Majesty's ship Harrier. There are several British schooners bearing the name Gazelle, but none registered as belonging to those islands in the far Indian Ocean which this par ticular pirate claimed to hail from, other wise it would be interesting to see what the tonnage of the buccaneering craft is, and by that means guess at the number of hands she would probably carry. It is certainly very strange to read of an English pirate in the year 1883, and ap- parently pirate of the old pattern, too, what used to be called a ''tidy little schooner" choosing much such a lonely haunt as starting point for her preda- tory excursion, as the picaroons of eighty years ago would have loved to use.

Tho Little Corporal.

Another queer story is told of Prince Napoleon. One of the Great Napoleon's Old Guard, survivor of Waterloo, who lived in small, French country town, always refused to believe that his be. loved 'Little Corporal" was dead, and stoutly maintained that he would come back to his own one day. It so happened that many years ago, when Prince Ma poleon was still young man, he happened to pass through this town Some practi- cal joker came to the Waterloo veteran, told him that his Emperor had actually come back, and led him to the street through which the imperial escort was moving. From carriage window a bareheaded man was responding to the salutations of the crowd, and the man had the face of the First Napoleon. The old Guardsman gave cry of joy ''Vive pEmpereur !''-and fell to the ground. He was lifted up lifeless.

The moss-grown debris of the slide may still be seen about the old house, which is point of interest to many tourists. It was 8 number of years sub- sequent to 1926 before the road through the notch was again opened,
 Fires were kept burning for several successive summers, to burn out the enormous piles of trees which lay in the ravine. Both the State of New Hamp- shire and the State of Maine appropriated large sums to aid in reopening the road; for even as early as 1926 the highway through the "Notch" along which the railway now runs was deemed an impor- tant thoroughfare between the two States. = Keatth's Goaapa,aiess.

A Story Denied

The assertion that the soldiers of the guard at President Garfield's tomb open the coffin, identify the body and ex- change receipts as often as they relieve each other, is explicitly contradicted by Lieutenant Burbank, the officer in charge. This is the order of the Secre- tary of War: "Untl otherwise ordered by competent authority, no one, save Mrs. Garfield, the wife of the late Presi- dent, must be allowed to view the re- mains in your charge" Lieutenant Bur- bank has assured 8 correspondent of the Philadelphia Press that the order is rig orously observed, and that no one except Mrs. Garfield is allowed upon any con- sideration whatever, to enter the vault.

A French NObby.

The latest ''noble visitor" to this coun- try is the young French Duke de Morny, whose wealth and wild dissipation have made him the leader, boy though he is, of what is known as the ''fast" society of Paris. A terrible scandal was caused last September by the suicide in his rooms of beautiful young actress of the Franchise, Mile. Feyghine, whom he had ruined and deserted. This story is well known in New York, and yet it is said that the virtuous doors of Fifth avenue are to be thrown wide open to the young ibertine.

NO BABY IN THE HO USE.

For forty months our youngest one
 Has been our hearts delight; The first to greet the morning sun,
 The last to kiss at night. She's driven each cloud from our minds. Each frown from of our brows; How close round the heart it winds A baby in the house But yesterday, as on my knee
 She climbed in childish play, And said, "Georgie, tell to me
 How Baby is to-day2' Me ain't 8 baby! Mes dirl"
 Exclaimed the little mouse; And is it so, and is there, then,
 No baby in the house? 'Tis true the crib is put away,
 The creeping dresses, too; A small form stands upon chair, ''See, mes ss big as you" The ruddy cheek, the bright blue eye, Most happy thoughts arouse But still there's something that miss- A baby in the house. And though with love and pride see My children older grow, Still, as they stand beside my knee, My thoughts will backward go; And while kiss the ruby lips
 And press the fair young brows, miss no less what I have lost A baby in the house.

Boaus CoFFEE.-A physician rented his stable, in Chicago, to some men who said that they desired to roast over again some coffee that had been damaged by. wetting but he soon discovered that they were engaged in treating worthless coffee with poisonous chemicals, so that it could be deceptively sold for the very best Java. He informed the Health Board, and one of the largest grocery firms in the city has been exposed as the real promoter of the fraud.
