On the outward voyage the dog died, and

Hospitality and Home Keeping.

"Our homes are hardly our own till
we share. them" Who does not cele-
brnte the taking possession Of a new
dwelling by calling his friends together
to rejoice with him in it's beauty and
comfort, as if no mere material fires
were enough for a true housewarming
without that glow and radiance which,
shining from sympathetic hearts and
eyes, WHITES every nook and corner of
the new habitation, and transforms
what was mere carpenters and ma
sons work into that heavens vesti-
bule, q home, in which the happy own
ers feel themselves at once master and
servants, priests and hosts, always
busy, and yet infinitely at rest? Hos
,pitality is one of the primal instincts
of man. Nor is it only an instinct. It
is q virtue, and sometimes q very lofty
one. It il most touching among the
poor, most graceful in the rich, and
most difficult in the middle classes. To
receive guests has been the pride ofthe
English noble, the religion Of the Arab,
the amusement of the country squire,
the sign of brotherhood among pio-
neers, the polite show of the Chinese,
the JOY Of children, the delight and ter
ror of young wives, and the duty, per-
formed with a varying mixture of
pleasure and fatigue, of the average
American. If there are any thoughts
by which the pleasure can be made
more and the fatigue less to our own
countrymen, and especially country
women, for it is upon these that the
care and labor chiefly come, let us con-
slider them.-Mary E. Dewey, in Good
Housekeeping.

The Latest About Gordon.

From London Truth.
Here is Il droll story about Gen. Cor.
don that has not found it's way into
print. The General entertained pc.
culiar ideas concerning the Edcnic up.
pie by which Mother Eve introduced
"Death and all our woe" into the
world. The constituent elements Of
this fruit Gordon held to be present in
the blood OF every member of the
human rlce up to tLepresent day, and
he contended that their virus could
only be subdued and collnterlcted by
frequent participation in the bread and
wine OF the sacrament. But so ma
terial u view did lie take OF this rite
that he Thought the more II man could
INCEST, in quantity, OF the consecrated
food the better would be his chances OF
cxpurgating from his physical organ
ism the poisonous cOrpuscles Of the
forbidden apple. Having forseen that
there would be little or no opportuni-
ties OF receiving the sacrament in the
SOudan, Gordon resolved to make as
much as possible OF the sacred clements
before starting. Hetherefore occupied
t!'hSth vi lIc Satur'luy DcIOfc Ills laSC
Sunday i'll England in asccrtaining the
hours at which communion would be
administered in the various churches
within reach OF the place where he then
was, and, rising early on the Sunday
morning, he went from church to church
in turn, partaking OF the sacrament in
each, and thus received the clements
some half dozen times in succession,
beginning at 6 o'clock A. NJ, and end.
ing at midday.
