One Sabbath I was sitting in a church.

were blistered with walking over rough
roads. 1t belonged to my mood to choose
ever the stony paths.
They were singing in the church-s
quaint old church covered with ivy, in
what part of England know not. I de
rived a savage pleasure in keeping myself
purposely ignorant of the places through
which I travelled. Worn with fatigue,
my eyelids closed, and a light slumber
overlook me- 1t could have lasted but q
short time, for when opened my eyes
heard the singing still within the church
What specially aroused me was the voice
of one of the singers My wife had just
such voice; its note of familiar sweet
ness startled me. I listened in wonder.
The singing ceased, and soon afterwards
the congregation issued from the church.
I scanned them eagerly as they came forth.

home l had not shaved; my matted hair,
my wild eyes, my ragged garments placed
me beyond the pale OF recognition. So,
without fear, gazed at the faces of the
worshippers. My wife was not among
them. In little while the church was
emptied of the throng; and 1 was,
thought, alone again in the churchyard.
But was mistaken. A man stood by my
side.
He was of middle age; his face was be-
nignant his voice las gentle. AS he
moved and spoke he seemed to be attended
by the spirit of charity.
"You seem in trouble" he said "Can

Near the churchyard was lightly tim

SneeZing in Germany.
Texas Siftings


Every nation has its peculiar customs.
Whep, for instance, in Germany person
sneezes, every body in the immediate vic
unity of the sneezsr says, solomly, the
German equivalent for "Your very good
health" The custom is said to have
originated during one of the plaques
which swept Europe in the middle ages.
When a person Is affected with the dread
disease sneezsd it was regarded as an IN
failing sign that the crisis OF the disease
was past. There are q great many diff
ferent grades Of society in Germany, and
the friendly situation is never extended
to those of a lower social status. 4 Ger
man comic paper makes good hit at
this snoboishness. An army officer, a
mere civilian, and q peasant are repre-
scented as sitting at the same table in a
beer-garden. The officer sneezss, where
upon the civilian and peasant bow and
wish the sneezer good health. Presently
the civilian sneezes. The officer is silent,
but the peasant extends his congratula-
tions. Finally the peasant. at the bottom
of the social ladder, sneezes, and the
other two, who are above him, do not ex-
press the slightest solicitude as to his
welfare.

The formula was obtained from the
Greek Indians by the whites who had
