A REMARKABLE WOMAN.

How She Founded the scandinavian Tenn
perance sailors Home in London.
One of the best known among English
phiIanthropic institutions is the Sean
dinavian Temperance Sailors Home in
London, and one Of the most interest
esting biographies of the century would
be that of its famous foundress, Agnes
HedenStrom.
Left an orphan when quite a young
child, she was brought up in the house
of wealthy relatives in Upsala. Here
she was petted and INDUCED to the last
degree.
= Let the child have her own wavi"
said her friends. "She has no parents,
poor thingn
All her pranks were overlooked, and
she grew up animated largely by the
desire to enjoy herself and have her
own way. Still sense of dissatsfac-
ton would make itself felt in her life.
She was not quite happy, though she
could have given no reason for her de-
spondencv. One day, however, she
listened to an eminent Swedish preach
er, and then for the first time became
conscious of the religious element lack
ING in her own life, and of the fact that
she only needed to fill her idle hours
with thought and labor for others. She
began preaching to her countrvmen in
the North, where no woman had been
allowed to speak in public, first address
ING small meetings and then vast as
semblageS.
For fome years she continued this
work, becoming at last persuaded that
it was her duty to 90 as Il missionary to
India. But while in London, awaiting
an opportunity to engage in work
abroad, she was impressed with the
great need of laborerS among the poor
in East London She began preaching
to them in the streets. and it was there
that the sound Of her own language
broke on her ear, half-smothcred or
inarticulatc. There homeless. drunken
Scandinavian sailors were cnsnared by
the hundreds, in horrible pitfalls of evil.
For two years she worked among the
sailors, preaching and perSuading
She still shoulders at the recollection
of her first address to some Of her coun-
trymen, at a place called the Strangers

The Board of Health to-day issued a
request to the people, calling their at
tention to various ways of avoiding
sickness. The following is a sample Of
the advice it gives: ''Be careful to
avoid the use of alcoholic drinks; do
not suppose that their use will prevent
the occurrence of disease. On the other
hand, those who indulge in the habit of
drinking are always fair subjects for
disease, and when attacked the intem-
perate are particularly in condition to
offer feeble resistance. "-PhilddeiphiG

The Funny Mans Baby.


The funny man went to his desk 60 write
He had watched all day, he would write
all night,
And finish his work so he trimmed the
light.
In the room adjoining his baby lay,
And they said she was slowly passing away,
And would die ere the light of another day
So he wrote, with his heart in the other
room,
And thought o. the babe going out in the
gloom
To the shadowy land beyond the tomb.
1t was hard to write with death so nigh,
But be ground out jokes as the hours went
by.
And closed each page with a grief-bOrn
sigh.
It was hard to write, but the world must
laugh,
So he penned the rhymes and the para
graph,
And even humorous epitaphl
His pen flew fast and the hours went on
Till his night of toll was almost gone,
And the east showed the first faint streakt
Of dawn.
Tnen he dropped his pen and raised his
head;
g Now the column is finished the funny
man said,
And the nurse, coming in, said, The baby
isdead ~

a WOnan's Way.

Young man with the strangely troubled
look,
And the footsteps sad and slow,
Be not cast down by girlish frown
And softly whispered "No"
Her sweet blush tells me different tale |;
There is hope for you to-day.
In your hour of bliss remember this;-
1t is only a woman's way.
She must not be too easily won,
She thinks, in her maiden pride
So she lifts her eyes quite in surprise
When your arms are opened wide;
And when you offer your heart and hand
Then she begs for more delay
In her lovers need she would have him
plead
It Is only woman's way.
If maiden ever adores a swain,
In this vale OF smiles and tears,
Who her heart hath stirred by loving word'
'Tis the man that perseveres,
She hates a coward whose heart is fain-,
Like the zephyr in Odorous May,
Who will drop his lance, at a maiden's
glance
1t is only woman's way.
'Tis all the same throughout the land
In the palace and the cot,
That maidens are shy and men must Try
For the blessing they have not.
For the helpmeet Heaven doth mean for all,
To cheer till the head grows gray,
With the soft caress, and the power TO
bless,
In a woman's pleasant way.

THE SCARECROW.

In Wonder field he stands erect,
No ma tier what the weather,
And keeps a watch so circumspect
On foes of every feather,
SO faithful is he to the trust
Committed to his keeping
That all the birds suspect he must
Dispense with any sleeping.
Sometimes his hat tips down so low
1t seems a cause for censure,
For then sOme old, courageous crow
Believes it safe to venture;
But catching sight of either arm
Outstretched in solemn warning,
Crow decides to leave this farm
Until another morning.
Although his dress is incomplete,
1t really does not matter;
Perehance the truest heart may beat
Beneath a patch or latter.
And it 's wrong TO base our love
On wealth and name and station,
For be who may will rise above
His daily occupation.
We should not look with eyes of scor1i
And find in him no beauty
Who stands and guards our fields ofeorn,
And does the whole world duty,
But honor him for native worth,
For rustic independence,
And send hearty greeting forth
For him and his descendants.

and shares the food the crab may
capture. This might be considered
an accidental occurrence, were it
not that the crab proves its friend

move to its new shell, when, by
reason of its growth, the crab has

anemone Is not satisfied with one
shell, the crab tries others until its
friend is suited.
A similar friendship exists be-
tween another hermit.crab, found
in the Mediterranean Sea, that is
also accompanied by an anemone.
In this case the friendship is not
altogether disinterested, as the
anemone is used as decOy by the
willy crab, which gives it board.
