grief-pray to Almighty God, morning, noon,
and night, that at the right time and in the
right way He will send you good, honest,
loving, sympathetic wife; or, if she is not sent
to you, that you may be sent to her
AT this point let me warn you not to let Q
question of this Importance be settled by the
celebrated matchmakers in almost every COM
munity. Depend upon your own Judgment,
divinely illumined. These brokers in matri-
mony are ever planning how they can unite
impecunious innocence to an heiress, or cell
bate woman to millionaire or Marquis, and
that in many cases makes life an unhappiness.
How can any humanbeing who knows neither
of the two parties as God knows them, and who
is ignorant of the future, give such direction
as you require at such o crisis! Take the ad-
vice of the earthly matchmakers instead Of the
Divine guidance and you may some day be led
to use the words of Solomon, whose experience
in homely life was as melancholy as it was
multitudin0us.
One day his palace, with it's great wide
rooms, and great wide doors, and great wide
hall, was too small for him. and the loud
tongue of woman belaboring him for some Of
his neglects, and he retreated to the house-top
to get relief from the ingual bombardment
And while there he saw poor man on
one corner of the roof with mattress for his
only furniture, and the open sky his only COW
ering. And Solomon envies him and cries

And one day during the rainy season the
water leaked through the. roof Of the palace
and began to drop in pail or pan set there to
catch it And at one side of him all day long
the water went drop! drop! drop while on the
other side a female companion quarreling
about this and quarrehng about that, the acri-
monious and petulant words falling on his ear
in ceasless pelting- drop! drop! drop! and he

The Widow OF Gen. Pickett.

Among the visitors at the panorama of
Bull Run at Washington the other day
was a lady Of striking appearance, who
seemed greatly interested in the picture
of the fight. When the lecturer began to
describe that portion Of the battle near
the railroad track and said 1.-The conflict
here can only be ikened TO features Of
the battle Of Gettysburg, and the dash
made at this points said to have equaled
the famous Pickett's charge" the lady
seemed to take q greater interest In the
picture and when she turned to look at
the lecturer he recognized her as the
widow of Gen. Pickett, that dashing Vir-
ginian who led the Confederate charge at
Gettysburg. The lady is living at Wash
ington now and her name appears OIL the
pay roll Of the interior department as a
laborer. But Mrs. Pickett Is not required
to do laborer's work. She is assigned to
clerical work. She Is a refined and cul.
tured oma and Is only one among the
widows Of renowned soldiers on both sides

Going BACK TO simplicity.

It Is evident that the days of bric-a-brac
are numbered, and that we are about TO
feel a strong reaction toward the classic
styles and severe simplicity. The archi-
tects and decorators in New York say that
people profess themselves weary OF the
clutter they have been having round them
IN their houses and asked to be furnished
IN white and gold. OF course this was to
be expected sooner or later. In former
and less hurried times the reaction
would have been delayed some time lon
ger, but in these days fashions change
with great rapidity.
Very likely we may go all the way back
TO the Grecian type Of house before we
stop, when once the mania for simplicity
sets in, and If any one would know what
that type is q beautiful example may be
eeeu on Broad street, near Girard avenue.
Fhts Is a house built about forty years
lgo by the late MI. Styles. 1t is very
beautiful in its plain square Of white
marble, with the smallest portion OF clas-
sic ornament and q great relief to the eye
after the bewilderment Of curious things
which lately have been getting built.
The people in the suburbs who are put.
ting rustic stone walls Of preposterous
thickness around their tiny Queen Anne
boxes had better take warning that they
will soon be out Of tyle.-Philadelphia

LOST CHILDREN.
why 80 MANY Little Ones have been
Lost and the Responsibility
OF Parents.

There was probably no happier home IN
America than that Of Mr.. James V. Allan or
Philadelphia. There is probably none more
miserable to-day. Four weeks ago Mr.. Al
Ian had a bright and attractive child that
was the pet of the home, and the Joy OF all
his friends. To-day no childish voice is to be
heard in the household, for it has been still
ed in death. Mrs. Allan noticed that the
child was ailing, that it failed to take its food
properly OF with relish, and that something
seemed to be troubling ii, but she thoughtlt
was only of a temporary nature and would
soon pass away. She DOW knows that then
was the time to have taken the disease be-
fore it had obtained a Judgement in the little
child's system.
Children require more careful attention
than adults. They are in the formative Pc
Rod The slightest influence effects uppleas-
sntly. and il is an easy matt to- invite de-
sease. The fathers and mothers of America
need MOI only to be very careful OF these
things, but to see to it that the child Is help
ed and strengthened by those means which
have been proven purest and best. Probably
nothing OF modern times has shown so much
efficiency in this direction as the wonderful
Volina Cordial, which is attracting so much
attention in all the leading Cities of the land,
and is being talked about so generally The
nature of the Remedy itself, however, is
such that it is unusually adapted for the
stomachs of children, while it is none the
less valuable when used by the fathers and
mothers. 1t is these qualities which are
making it so popular and it is these qualities
which are destined to make it the most
popular medicine of modern times.
Any pare t who wilfully or carelessly neg
lects the slightest symptoms of disorder in
his or her child, is criminally responsible for
the sickness or death of that child should
such a melancholy event occur. We are CON-
PEELED 10 believe that where such neglect
does occur, it is thoughtlessness, but the re-
suits are none the less disastrous, and there
are thousands of homes in America to-day
that mourn the loss of departed children
which might be made joyous and happy by
their presence, had the parents only eIer-
cised the proper precaution and care. Such
facts should come as a warning to all pa
rents and cause them to not only guard their
own health, but to exercise greatest care
over the health and lives of the little Deepen
dent creatures, who can not exercise such
care over themselves.

FIFTEEN MINUTES TO CALCUTTA.
Wonderful Improvement in tho Trans
mission of Cable Messages.

Wonderful Improvement in the Trans
mission of Cable Messages.
Glow soon will this reach Calcutta'"
asked a white haired man as he slipped a
ten word message through the receiving
wicket Of the down town office of a cable
company.
Cant say exactly" said the receiving
clerk. Its 5 O'Clock now and there's
work enough ON hand to keep the wires
rcd hot till midnight. Wen get 1t of by
= u. m"
I'm sure you'll send it as soon as pos
sible, but that's not what l mean. When
will it reach Calcutta. i retired from
business many years ago and have for
cotton some things about cable telegraphy
with which I was once familiar"
why, If it leaves here at 2 it'll get
there before $50 any way"
"You are joking, young fellow. re-
member well enough waiting a week for
a message from India or Hong Kong; no
doubt the world moves faster now"
II wonder what he would have
thought" " said the clerk to a reporter, "if
| told him that his message would be in
Calcutta in fifteen minutes from the time
il left here. And yet that is not an under
estimate Of the time, il no unusual delay
occurs in transferring from one system TO
another. The New York merchant of to-
day does not fully appreciate the wonder
full system of submarine intercommunlca-
ton which is always at his service; but
old city men know well enough the an
a and losses on European INT
Asiatic business caused through native
operators when messages had TO be
handed from one government to another
before they reached their destination.
Twenty years ago eight days delay on
Indian messages was quite common. Tele-
grams that had to pass through Turkey
were thrust aside at COnsta ltinOple until
the turbaned operators had cleared their
lines and their work Of mutilation often
cost the merchant his message and the
price Of a repeat" when the receiver was
unable to translate the mangled English
delivered to him in Bombay or Calcutta.
Now all this is changed. British n
American operators are to be ound IN all
parts of the globe, much to the surprise
Of outsiders, who wonder why natives
cannot be trained to take charge OF cable
circuits. Our operators proceed to foreign
stations and in the most unhealthy
climate manfully do their duty. Mutt
lated messages are no longer common,
and the merchants Of this country reap the
benefit. The other day was asked why
half breed Spaniards could not be trained
10 take appointments at such places
rs Vera Cruz and Panama, where Anglo
Saxons cannot live. The real Spaniard
does not make = model operator. What
the Mexican operator would be like will
not venture to suggest, l have heard on
good authority that it Is nothing unusual
for a Spanish operator to give VI A
watt while he saunters to a neighboring
restaurant to indulge in a cigarette-re-
turning to go on with his work when he
has finished his refreshments. 1t Is no
wonder that cable companies are glad to
secure English and American operators to
do their work, for they seldom forsake
their posts while they have a leg to stand
on."-New York Tribune Interview.
