The men of these mountain slopes are tall.

strides. They have lazy, donothing and
care-for-nothing air in both speech and
movement. Most of them go barefooted-at
least in the summer months-and wear very
lghtfitting linsey wColsey trousers, dyed
brown with the bark of the walnut. They
have no suspenders, and very few of them
wear coats of any kind. Their shirts are
made of a coarse cotton material, and are
generally so dirty that it is impossible to tell
the original color. Most of them wear
slouched wool hats that look as if they mad

having homemade hats of plated rye straw.
Almost every man seen on the road had
long, rustic-looking rife on his shoulder, an
ox-horn powder flask and a cowskin shot
pouch swung around his neck.
The women are in keeping with the men.
Their dress is made of the same material,
only a shade lighter in color. There is no fit
about the waists of their garments, and the
skirts are most economically narrow, and
never so long as to suggest the idea of trail,

London Letter.
Lord Charles Beresford is said to have re-
Gently declared that he means to cut the
navy and go in for politics." At present
this gay young nobleman is standing as Con-
sentative candidate for the Pembroke bor-
oughs, and is conducting his canvass in
Characteristic manner. Some of his speeches
as reported are full of those quaint oddities
of expression for which he is remarkable.
Thus, at Pembroke, the other day, he said
that one of his opponents objected to him
because ''he had got a head like a boiled
bulldog" though that, declared Lord
Charles, would not prevent him from speak
ing his mind. Again, at Tenby, while discuss
ing the affairs of our navy, he said that
though foreigners were improving their fleets,
lit was a thousand pounds to a CARROT that
we should always beat them. Certainly,
Charlie Beresford" is one of the plainest
spoken of men. He is a great favorite at
court, where his rollicking animal spirits
and comcal sayings and doings are an end

Wales and his circle. Indeed, Charlie" as
he is called, is allowed liberties with royalty
that would hardly be tolerated from any one
else. Only the other day he was heard to
exclaim at a ball, in the hearing of several
of the princesses, and in reference to some
incident that was going on; "What the devil
are they up to now?' But, Notwithstanding
his rather Bohemian habits, Lord Charles
Beresford has fund of sound, shrewd COM
nonsense, and there is no doubt that
he would be an acquisition in Parlia-

his humor, but of his honest, plain
speaking. He has sat in the House before,

NIadras,s Green Sun.

London DAILY NeWs. ,
Some excitement is stated by the Indian
papers to have been caused among the people
of the Madras Presidency by the fact of the
sun having recently presented bright green
appearance particularly near the time of
setting Prof. Niche Smith, in commenting
upon this phenomenon, observes that, as far
as he can discover, the appearance of green
sun is very uncommon. Mr. Lockyer, how
ever, once observed the sun to be of a vivid
green when seen through the steam of lit
tie paddle boat on Lake Windemere, and this
circumstance, he thinks, points to a solution
of the difficulty, and shows that the cause of
the appearance is an unusual amount of
aqueous vapOr in the atmosphere. existing as
actual vapor and not condensed into clouds
Some experiments with the spectrum, of
which Prof. Smith gives the details, appear
to confirm this hypothesis.

just the Time To Be Pleasant.

There is good lesson conveyed in the
simple story that we copy below. 1t is one
that deserves a long remembrance:
Mothers cross!" said Maggie, coming out
into the kitchen with pount on her lips.
Her aunt was busy ironing, but she looked
up and answered Maggie
Then it is the very time for you to be
pleasant and helpful. Mother was awake a
great deal in the night with the Door baby"
Maggie made no reply. She put on her
hat and walked off into the garden. But a
new idea went with her.
THE very time to be helpful and pleasant
is when other people are cross, Sure
enough" thought she, that would be the
time when it would do the most good.
81 remember when | was sick last year
was so nervous that if any one spoke to me I
could hardly help being cross; and mother
never got angry nor out cf patience, but
was just as gentle with me. l ought to pay
it back now, and | will"
And she sprang up from the grass where
she had thrown herself and turned a face
full of cheerful resolution toward the room
where her mother sat soothing and tending a
fretful teething baby.
Maggie brought out the pretty ivory balls
and began to Jingle them for the little one.
He stopped9 fretting, and smile dimpled
the corners of his lips.
Couldn't l take him out in his carriage,
mother? It's such NICE morning" she
asked.
81 should be glad if you would" said her
mother.
The little hat and sack were brought, and
the baby was soon ready for his ride.
"l'll keep him out as long as he is good"
said Maggie, land you must lie on the sofa
and get nap while 1 am gone. You are
looking dreadfully tired"
The kind words and the kiss that accom-
panied them were almost too much for the
the mother.
The tears rose to her eyes, and her voice
trembled as she answered:
Thank you deare; it will do me world

How Bishop Beckwith Raised $1,000 in
Eight Minutes

Atlanta Constitution.
An interesting incident took place on Sun
day morning in st. I.uke's Cathedral. As is
generally known, when the new church was
finished in the spring it was found to be too
small, and almost before it was used three
months steps were taken to enlarge it, The
work OF raising sufficient funds was soon ac-
complished, and the architect gave the plans
to the builders. Bishop Backwith an nounced
that no money would be needed, and the
work proceeded. Yesterday he surprised his
congregation by telling them that they had
miscalculated, and that 81, 200 was needed TO
complete the work
Now" said Bishop Beckwith, after an
earnest talk, II want to raise the money
right here to-day, and will start the sub
scription list myself with 800. Can 1 get
five others to give 500 each?" When the
amount was footed up correctly it was found
to be 81, 375, or $175 more than was needed.
Altogether il did not take longer than ten
minutes to raise the entire amount, one
gentleman saying that it took just eight
minutes. 1t was really touching incident
of congregations respect for Bishop Beck
with and the cause he represented. The
congregation departed delishted with the
mornings work, the Bishops success in
raising the money being an additional charm
to the splendid sermon.

Fashionable Prayers.


Quite a sensation was created last winter
by the advent in exclusive circles of an elo-
quent woman exhorter-a lady of the
Moody and Sankey type-who obtained the
entree of several fashionable houses and
peas, by her candor and plain speaking.
has the aid of some of the finest amateurs
in the city, and the psychological influence
she exercises on the minds of her audiences
is said to be something extraordinary.
This year she is still more widely sough
after, and the prospect of unwonted, devo-
ton has doubtless had something to do with
the demand for prayer-rugs, which
was never before so large.
though why Christians should require
heather rugs to pray upon is one of those
psychological mysteries which the prayers
themselves do not explain. Be the cause
what it may, there is an intense desire on
the part of many ladies to possess one or
more of these rugs, and the good fortune of
Mr.. Vantine in securing numbe of very
rare ancestral" specimens is therefore most
opportune. Prayer" rugs possess a pecu-
liar family as well as religious significance.
They consist, first, of a center with a decora-
tive figure or series of figures on the upper
part of the panel and an inserted strip at
the upper end, which is where the head
touches in kneeling and bowling. To this
central panel the generation which first
possesses it adds a border with figures or
signs emblematic of their dignities, station
and honors, and thereafter every generation
as it comes into possession of the ancestral
prayer-rug adds its border, with its addition
al signs and emblems

aches badly this morning"
What a happy heart beat in Maggie's
bosom as she trundled the little carriage up
and down on the walk
She had done real good. She had given
back little of the help and forbearance that
had so often been bestowed upon her She
had made her mother happier, and given her
time to rest.
She resolved to rember and act upon her
aunts good words: The very time to be
helpful and pleasant is when everybody is
tired and cross"

Yankee Talk.

New York Letter.
Some Americans though, as we'll as En-
glishmen, have ways of speaking that are
not by any means pleasant to the ear. As
an illustration | may mention a popularity
in the speech of one of our most learned and
eloquent preachers, man of most absolute
correctness in everything except this. A IA
vorite phrase OF his is from alpha to ONE
ga" He makes use of it in nearly every
sermon. But never as il is written. 1t seems
as if his tongue could never get it that way
at all. What he always does say is from
alphar to omegar" lie starts at an eloquent
sentence which is all right till he gets to the
end, and then comes the atrocious "alphar"
and "omegar" as sort of anti-clmax. The
thing sometimes occurs over and over in the
same sermon, and the preacher is entirely
unconscious of it, No doubt his "alphar"
and "omegar'' are to his ears as correct in
pronunciation as any words can be. But l
have often smiled as heard them, even in the
best part of an impressive sermon. Winder,
sawr lawr, and so on are bad enough, but
when it comes to alphar and omegar the lap
sus is simply ridiculous and makes one
smile even in church. 1t must have been
noticed by many, but doubt if the preach
er's attention has ever been called to it, and
he can't discover it himself.

The campaigning.


BludeIOru VMeJ JOurnaI.
The meeting of the Methodist District
Ministerial Association, held in Cape Eliza
beth last week, discussed, among other inn
portant questions, the utility of camp-meet-
ings. The Rev. Parker Jacques declared that
as camp-meetings were managed at the pres
ent day he did not believe there was any
utility in them. The Rev. E. w. Hutchin-
son deemed the utility of camp-meetings a
thing of the past, while the Rev. G. d. Lind
say thought it about time to seek some means
of grace less Objectionable than the modern
camp-meeting. These are significant words.
The modern camp-meeting however, has I'M
doubtedly come to stay. 1t has grown to be
a popular vacation pastime, not only for
Methodists, but many other church and re-
form organizations as we'll, and is really a
sensible and economical mode of summer
rest and recreation.
