There comes time when the roads
are piled with snow, when the wind
whistles around the church, and the few
who brave the storm shiver in their
pews. and try to think of the words of
the preacher rather than the long, cold
way home. There comes a time when
the sexton's efforts fail to secure warmth
and comfort in the country church. At
this time it becomes a hardship to leave
the fireside and struggle with the storm
in order to attend church; and the min.
lister gives his carefully SER
mon to dozen listeners. Why is not
this time most fit vacation? Why not
give the minister an opportunity to at
tend the lectures and concerts, to avail
himself of the culture and advantages of
the city2 Many country homes are
closed, while their inmates enjoy the
winter helps of the city. Then why not
close the country churches in January,
or some other winter month, when the
vacation would be truly appreciated,
and let the dwellers in the city continue
to enjoy their August vacation p Church

Napoleon's Meeting with Marie Louise.
Suddenly the noise of wheels was heard.
A carriage preceded by a outrider and
followed by several other vehicles, ar
rived. Napoleon quivered with joy. 1t
was she! Marie Louise. archduchess of
Austria, empress of the French, queen
of Italy, the wife who would bear him q
son and heir to his immense empire.
Pride and intoxication mingled with joy
in the heart of the conqueror.
The carriage stopped. The horses were
being taken out. Napoleon rushed to the
door. He would fain have remained un-
noticed for few moments longer, but
the Equerry dOudenarde, who could
scarcely believe his eyes, at this juncture
called out: "The emperor" The happy
husband threw himself into the arms of
his young wife, who was overcome with
emotion and surprise. He was enchanted
with her at sight. This superb child, all
radiant with freshness and youth, with
strength and health, with her pretty fair
hair, her blue eyes, her innocence and

was in England was called upon topre-
scribe for a country gentleman. The
man had accumulated considerable prop
erty by his own shrewdness and thought
a great deal of himself. One of this
class of Englishmen is the hardest type
of man to deal with. You can not tell
him anything that he does not know. If
you are going to prescribe for him you
must be as mysterious as possible. In
this case my patient had little touch
of sore eyes for which salt and water
was simple and sure remedy. OF

the water in his well, but / would no
more have dared to tell him that these
We're the remedies than would to de-

turned me out doors SO gave him a
prescription which called for chloride Of
sodium and aqua pura. Hesent his
valet six miles to the nearest town to
get the prescription made up. and when
it had cured his eyes, he told all his
neighbors and pronounced it wonderful
and furnished them all copy of DR..
Dibble's remarkable prescription, so that
they could also have the benefit of it. ~

and supplanted by rice, in fields flooded
with water, while others, green with
the tender shoots, are ready for trans

usually dry nothing is left TO suffer.
The reservoirs are SO large, and the IT.

'Japan's wondrous garden smiles ON
beneath scorching rays.
The trees of Japan are a wonder.
Here is the "mockungi, with It's pur-
pile, bell-shaped flowers; also the mag
nolia, with its rich white and purple
clusters. Queen among the trees tow
ers the camellia. Some of these are
sixty feet high, and are covered with
blossoms from January to May, Of
many varieties. from the large pure
white, resembling a double rose, to
various shades of pink and pink.
The cherry and plula trees are cult;-
waited solely for their blossoms. and
are trees of rare beauty. The former
grows thirty feet high and as many
broad, its branches covered with
red and white blossoms, two inches
in diameter and pertaining the air at a
great distance. Its petals of snow and
cream, fallingin showers, spread many
a carpet for the feet on the stonc-paths
leading to the temples. verifying the

Along the hill-sidcs naples and pines

loveliness, trailing and INTERVIEWING

these are the wistaria and thunbergia,
with their purple stars and tufts. From
the Verdant valleys to the tops of the
are seen lilies, pinks and
roses of endless variety. The grass is
studded and flowers spring even from
the quaint, artistic matched roofs OF
the tea-houses, asking leave only to
draw and bless the light, The tea
