To reach my room we went through 4 part
Of the building called .'the hotel" In pass

crests and arms, aud other insignia over the
doors. ! was told that these rooms sheltered
wealthy gentlemen, who, while not wishing
10 become monks, had retired from the
world.
Ny bed was not much better than those in
the dormitory. All the utensils were Of
either wood or tin. The good monk showed
me the refectory for visitors, and said that
the bell would ring when dinner was ready.
II rang soon afterward loud enough TO
awaken the dead. found At the table three
or four old priests, a few farm lsborers and a
few boarders. II was a solemn repast In
one eOrLer stood lay brother, with cowl
drawn over his head. intoning from a relig-
ious book q monody on death in a sepulehral
tone Of voice. Two walters glided around
the tables Ike phantoms They wore snowy
aprons bearing the words ''Hotel Gethsem-

cast eyes and solemn eOUntenanees. The
food was OF the eOarsest description. Ex-
IRENE cleanliness, however, characterized
everything.
After dinner sauntered into the garden,
and met several old priests who aad come 70

quirtude. / never spent a more mOnOto-

my way 20 the chapel. The friars were chant

church. while the outside world was buried
in sleep. No organ OF other musical In stru-

the throat OF man. IL sounded Ike the low,
plaiRtiye wall OF worn out men. These
chants, with occasional prayers, were contin-
ued for four hours. The monks stood mo-
tiOnless as statues all the time, neither kneel-
ing nor sitting. II was apparently a most
trying Ordeal.
Such is the life that these holy men lead,

Pittsburgh Special to Philadelphia Press.l
To-day, for the first time in the history Of
Allegheny county, and at least for thirty
years in the history Of the state, woman
was tried as a common seold. The defend
ant in the case tried in the criminal court
was Ellen Fisbpan, resident Of Pleasant
Valley, and Amelia KOuntz, a member Of
the Salvation Army, was the prosecutrix.
The Witnesses for the prosecution were near
IN all members of the Salvation Army and
they testified to very much the same things
The trouble all grew out Of the capture Of a
scratching hen by Mrs. Sullivan. The hen
was said to belong to Mrs. Fishpan, who was
told TO take it home or its head would be
chopped of. The fowl really laid eggs for
Mrs. Kountz, and Mrs. Fishpan, who Is Of
the Catholic faith, it appears, becoming very
much incensed at the things said and done
by Mrs. Kountz and other members Of the
Salvation Army against her happiness and
peace of mind, denounced them in the COM
munity. The jury, after hearing the testi-
mOnv on both sides, concluded that Mrs.
Fishpan was not guilty and rendered YER
diet to that effect and divided the costs.

lightly dances over the rocks and sparkles

therefore it is healthy. 1t is vigorous !;
therefore, it resists impunity.
But the sluggish pool, where the err
rent is not strong enough to keep the water
in motion. is stagnant and foul. Dirt and
rubbish are thrown into it, and stay there.
Impurities ana vile doors make it a breeder
of disease and an object to be avoided.
When the blood is strong and rich and
red, and vigorously courses its accus-

When the blood is. thin and poor and
weak. impurities and defilements creep in

GOVERNMENT AGRICULTURAL SIGNALS.
General Hazen, of the Weather Bureau,
has. in connection with Colonel Beverly.
nearly completed system of agricultural
signals, by which, forty eight hours in ad-
vance, farmers in the neighborhood of tel
egraph stations can be informed as to the
weather. For instance, when the weather
is to be bad a red light will be raised at
o'clock in the night at each telegraph sta
tion, which will be superseded by red
flag after daylight. When fair weather is
expected a white light and white flag will
Indicate it. There are signals which will
readily indicate changes in temperature.
1t is estimated that this will cost the Gov
erRmentabout$ $3.50. COCOA year. This amount
will nearly all go to telegraph lines, as the
collection of the weather news can be fur
nished without cost by the present Signal
Service force. 1t is estimated that with
