Methodist Nuns.

The Methodist General Conference, af-
ter careful consideration, created such an
order and in its Discipline inserted Sec
ton regulating them. They are to be
called deaconesses, and they will be very
similar to the nuns of the Roman Cath
olic Church, except that they are not to
take VOWS of life service or of celibacy.
Every annual conference in which these
deaconesses are established will have a
board of nine members to control this
kind of work. They will wear distinct
i've costumes and live by themselves.
They viii minister to the poor and sick,
care for orphans, and do other work of
charity. They will be required to serve
a probation of continual service tor two
years before being made deaconesses,
and they will have to be a. least 25 years
of age. The first of these deaconesses
will be very likely TO be seen in Chicago,
where there is already an informal organ
ization of a somewhat similar character /:
but it is believed that in all the large cit
les, within year, there will beestablish-
Ell probationary classes. As two years
services will be required before any wo-
man may become deaconess, there must
ensue that that amount of delay, but the
work and costuming Of the devotees may
begin at once. Naturally, sober garb
win be chosen, but how nearly it will
approach the disfgurment deemed essen
tial in the Catholic Church, as destruct-
i've agency f.. ssminine pride, remains to
he seen.

Pleasant People.

If we question what it is that goes TO
constitute a man or woman pleasant, il
appears to be result of both tempera-
ment and character Ii is hardly neces-
sary to say that these are not the same
thing and yet they are not distinguished
in common thought and speech as clear
ly as they might be. Without attempt
ing any close analysis, we may perhaps
say that temperament is certain com
bination of elements given us at birth,
while character is another set Of powers
and dispositions, slowly acquired and
grown in us; for the first nature is re-
sponsible, our parents and ourselves for
the second.
1t seems easiest TO describe pleasant
person by negatives, although assuredly
his pleasantness affects us as most pos
tive quality. To begin with, such per
son must not be too much ''shut up in
his own individuality, to use the phrase
of an English writer. That is, he must
not be very reserved and concentrated
in his emotions and affections, but have
a certain expansiveness of nature and
openness of manner. He must not be
too fastidious, but able to take people for
what they are and what they are worth
to him for the passing moment and the
needs of the social hour. He must not
be Of too intense nature, nor 50 preoc-
cupied with the serious aspects and du-
ties of life that he is unable to pu; them
aside temporarily and lend himself to
lighter thoughts and lighter people
iflnHfic.

Thief Caught by a Baer.

The following, which is said to have
happened near Los Angeles, is too good
to be lost. An Italian. who was travelling
through the country " ith baer which
he had trained to wrestle and dance, stop
ped before a farmers house late one af-
ternoon, and after amusing the family
with his performances, obtained permis-
sion to stay all night. The baer was pla c.
ed in the barn for safe keeping. During
the night the family were aroused by a
terrible noise in the barn. Some one was
screaming Murder Help and ap-
parently engaged in struggle for his
life.
The farmer hastened to the spot, fol-
lowed by the Italian and others of the
house, and found the tame bear with a
man in his embrace, hugging him tightly,
while the poor fellow struggled frantic
ally TO escape. The bear was muzzled
and could do no serious injury, though
the man was very uncomfortably situated.
The man proved TO be dishonest
butcher who had come to the barn to
steal fine calf. In the darkness he had
stumbled over the bear, who had seized
him and held him fast The Italian,
learning how matters stood, called out.
Hug him, Jack, and the bear continued
to hug him numerically until the farmer
concluded that he had been sufficiently
punished, when he was released. The
story soon spread abroad, and the butch
er len the neighborhood TO escape the
ridicule to which it subjected him.-San

A Sensible Fashion Decree.

Ladies are no longer to wear birds on
their bonnets and hats. Thus it has been
decreed by fashion. The benevolent
edict comes just in time to save the last
remaining members Of the race of hum
ming birds and birds Of paradise. The
great forests Of India, Brazil and the
banks of the Mississippi have been ran
sacked, have yielded up their treasures
of winged jewels to adorn the feminine
headgear. Now at last there is to be a
truce to the massacre, and the pretty
denizens of the woods may sing and fly
awhile in peace. To estimate the extent
of slaughter perpetrated for the sake of
womankind's adornmeni, We may take
the statement of London dealer, who
admits, that last year he sold two mil
lion small birds of every possible kind
and color, from the soft gray of the wood
pigeon to the gemlike splendor of the
tropical bird Even the friendly robin
has been inundated to adorn the FASH
ionable bonnet.

She Put Him to the Test.

" Yes, darling" he said, in tones Of
deep tenderness, az would do anything
to show my love for you"
"Ahl" sighed the gentle maiden,
" that's what all men say when they are
striving to win woman's heart"
Put me to the proof" he exclaimed,
in wild, passionate tones; put me to
the proof, test me, and see, if fail. SET
me any task within the bounds of posi-
bility and it shall be performed"
"Ah,s she murmured, if / could on
ly believe you"
Put me to the test. Say to me to dc
this or do that and it shall be DONE"
Then | will put you to the test
"Ah," he exclaimed, exultingly. you
shall behold the height, the depth, the
length, the breadth, the circumference Of
my love, What is the test"
The maiden dropped her snowy lids
until the silken lashes rested on the
peach bloom of her cheek, slight smile
dimpled the corners of her mouth, and
bending over the youth who knelt at heI
feet she whispered
Marry some other girl"

The Brightest Spot on Earth.

A happy home is the brightest spot on
earth the eye of God looks down on.
Love and peace in his home sends sun
shine round the man wherever he goes !;
disorder and trouble there is misery
everywhere There are few worries of
life which a man cannot now and then
shake off; but who cans hake himself free
from the skeleton in the closet, from the
worry in the household, the blister on
the heart day will tell how many
man carried with him without wincing
down to the grave. When husband and
wife are helpmates to each other in the
best sense, when order and love and
goodness prevailed in the house, then the
man who has hard battle in life to fight
can leave his struggles behind him when
he enters there. With all our faults we
are the most home-loving people, and
that is the reason we are the greatest
people. Whatever helps home life is
national blessing; whatever hurts home
life is a national curse; and the greatest
curse that can touch these blessings is
what would tamper with peace and bless
edness of our homes

Some Famous Fish.

There is rather an interesting bit of his
tory connected with the famous pond at
Fontainebleau, which has just been clear
ed of all its carp, perch and gudgeon.
The pond abounded chiefly in fine carp,
and when Prince Frederick Charles of
Prussia had his headquarters in the his
toric chateau during the occupation of
France by the Germans. in 1870, he gave
orders that a wholesale fishing expedi-
ton should take place. Nets and tackle
were accordinly. requisitioned by the
troops, but none could be found. The
local anglers had either hidden or de-
stroyed their piscatorial paraphernalia,
and the Red Prince could consequent
ly taste but very few of the carp for
which he longed. Now, however, the
pond has been cleared. as mud has been
accumulating in it fort space of 25 years,
a state of affairs which caused sort of
epidemic among the fish in 1887, when
the surface of the water was covered with
hundreds of dead carp. The fishes drawn
out of the ponds in nets have been placed
temporarily in the smaller ponds around
the chateau.-Londoa Telegraph.

A Frog Farm.

1t is sunderstood that several young men
of this city have organized themselves
into company for the production Of
bullfrogs. They have leased good-sized
piece of ground, which lies low and can
easily be converted into frog pond.
The ground is located west of the city, is
accessible and well-fitted for the purpose
to which it is to be turned. The capital
required is very small, and the profits
enormous.
There is less trouble in raising frogs
than almost any other animal. Take a
dozen pairs, of New Jersey breeders, for
instance, dump them into pond and
feed them on hotel scraps. A quantity
of domestic batrachin conplets the outfit,
Supply the pond with three or four bar
rels of hotel scraps every day and the
rest is easy. Frogs are not dainty in
their tastes, and will gobble up almost
anything that is edible At the end of
II months the harvesting can begin. and
in two years time, these young fellows
estimate that their profit will be any
where from $1,000 to $4,000 per year.

How to Handle a Wasp.

a writer in Science. that if the one holds
