The Popularity of Hash.

"Hash is becoming the popular
midday luncheon dish of business
men," said a well known restaurant
keeper the other day. "One of the
'easons for it's popularity is the fact
that very little time is wasted in
chewing it. 1t seems next to impos-
sible for the average business man
to eat slowly. He will waste valua-
BILE time talking with acquaintance.
He will loiter in his office or in the
office of a friend and think nothing
of it; but when the luncheon hour ar
rives he makes a rush for the nearest
restaurant and bolts his food with
alarming rapidity. A young lawyer
will languidly lounge in his office,
but when the meal hour arrives a
Transformation takes place. He
rushes to the nearest lunch counter,
straddles a stool, and fights with the
walters if not waited on instantly.
Hash is what he invariably orders,
and it disappears with lightning ra-
pidity. He then returns to the Office
and yawns and gaps the rest of the
afternoon. No wonder dyspepsia
holds high carnival in this city. If
business men paid more time and at
tention to their midday meal, they
would avoid manya doctors bill. -

Enriched by q Dog.

By the death of a dog at West
Chester, the St. Peters Protestant
Episcopal Church of Tredyfryn
Township, Chester County, Pc, is
81, 500 richer. The animal was a
pet Of Mrs. Elizabeth Shee, an aged
and somewhat ecentric lady, who
died two years ago at West Chester
where she had lived. The lady left be
hind her an estate of about $4,000,
which by her will was disposed Of in
peculiar manner. The strongest
clause was the one which provided
for the dog Ryno, as he was called.
A fund of 81 500 was set aside for
investment, the interest to be spent
in the maintenance of the animal
and for his proper burial after his
death. Upon his demise the princi-
pal was to revert to the church which
the lady had attended during her,
life. Mrs, Shee died early in March,
1886, and Peter Carey of Phoenix
vile, who was named as her execu-
tor, provided home for the four
footed heir at the house of a relative
of the Lady at West Chester, where
the dog lived pampered existence
until a short time ago, when he died
of complication of diseases, the
result of age and an over-indulgence
in the sweets of life. The exist
ence of a moneyed aristocrat is too
much for the average dog, and Ryno
is said to have been cur very much
below the average, and succuubed
to high living.
According to the letter of the will
Ryno was buried not far from the
grave of his dead benefactor. He
was wrapped in sheet and placed
in box according to the last wishes
of Mrs. Shee.
The canine had barely been placed
under the sod when the church people
wrote to Mr.. Carey, the executor, stat
ing that they were ready to receive the
money. He replied that the princi-
pal is SO invested that it is not likely
that it will be paid over before next
spring.
The secret of Mrs. Shee's attach
ment to the dog is mystery, for the
animal was a mongrel of the lowest
order. He was surly and snappish,
and devoid of any beauty or attrac-
tions. He had been brought into
Mrs. Shee's house in an early stage
of puppyhood, and had always been
with her. The dog died in a spasm,
and is said to have suffered greatly
for hours before death relieved him.
1t was whispered among the neigh
/ bors that his dogship hung on too
long to suit some people. The par
ties concerned are all satisfied, how
ever, and there will be no investiga-
ton into his death.

Finish What YouBegin.

Thousands start well, but never
finish one thing at time. They have
dozen things on hand and no one
completed. Time is wasted on un-
finished work. Always finish what you
begin. One thing finishedis worth a
hundred halt done. The completion of
IN undertaking yields more pleasure
and more profit than dozens ofplans.
The man who is always planning or
scheming is rarely, if ever successful.
He often furnishes ideas for others
Who go persistenly to work and
finish what his ideas suggested.
That was my idea-my plan," we
frequently hear some one say, but
the man who carried it out was the
one who benftted himself and others.
Do not begin what you cannot finish.
What you undertake to do, do, and
cap the rewards of your own ideas
and Observation-Disclosures and Builder.

CHAPTER III.

1t was past midday before Ber-
nard had an opportunity ofspeaking
to Queenie alone. He had said moth
ing to his mother thus far, for he did
not wish to cloud, in the slightest de-
gree, the festive season of the year.
Queenie, or, as Mrs. Faverche gen.
orally called her, Maggie, was more
astonished, if possible, at Bernard's
revelation, than he had been at his
brothers violent outburst; she was,
however, a genuine girl, and said at
once in her frank way:-"Bernard, [
am so sorry; really like James, but
so very differently; do you think he
would like me to-I mean-can l say
something kind to him."
"Yes, do. just in your old way;
poor old fellow. Queenie, do you
think it would be very hard for you
to turn about, dear, and learn to
like James the same as you do me?
1t would make him happy.
She looked puzzled. What did
Bernard mean. Had he mistaken
his feelings for her, and was he to
honorable to say so? But she an
swered him calmly.
"You see-or perhaps you do not
see-that James could never be Ber-
nard, or Bernard James; or if Ber-
nard were nowhere, James would be
still where he is.
''That is enough; am satisfied"
Here an interruption came, in the
form of a couple Of young people in
tent upon getting up snow-balling
match, or Queenie would have asked
question or two as to why Bernard
lad grown so serious-looking since
Yesterday. AS she ran off to put
on proper gear for the outdoor
game, she suddenly remembered that
she had not seen James that day,
she recollected hearing servant de-
liver q message to his mother to the
effect that Mr.. Faverche would break
fast in his room as he had some
writing to do.
Snow-balling was in full swing when
James Faverche walked to the win.
dow of his study to see what all the
merry laughter and shouting meant.
Was he in any better mood? Well, he
had spent a good many hours in
writing and setting papers+ in order,
but that was nothing new with him,
for since his fathers death he had
taken a good deal of the manage
ment of the estate into his own
hands. Last night has not, SO far as
one can Judge from outward appear
ances, left any remnant on his face,
beyond a firmer set about the mouth,
which his mous.ache fails to hide. 1t
was evident that he had laid down
for himself some line of action, and
whatever it was, he would certainly
carry it out. So much anyone
acquainted with what had
taken place could not fail to
perceive. Inwardly, his feelings
towards his brother were not what
they had been during those dark
hours of the past night, but they
were very far from being the hrotherly
feelings that used toliyoin his breast.

iiWhy did you pick the flowers foa

me?"
"Oh, cause love YOU
"Love me, child? You never knew
me till minute or two ago."
"You live in papa's room, and l
know you ever since l member"
Light broke in upon him by de
grees. He remembered the bust OF
himself that Bernard would have
years ago. Couldit be that his men,
Dry had been so cherished? A big
lump rose in his throat. Again
Renee spoke;
IT said Merry Kissmiss' to you
this morning when 1 went to say
merry Kisslmiss to papa"
TWAS no good: In spite Of him
self his hardness fed before the simple
words of the child standing by him.
He lifted her on his knee and kissed
her lovingly, and took up the fow-
ers in her basket and kissed them too.
He could not do things by halves; he
put out his hand and touched the
bell. Mrs. Andrews was not far
away, she had fingered near the
library door to see what would be
the result of the child's visit. When
she entered the room, she was sur
prised at the change that had come
over her master. There was actually
q smile about his mouth, aud his
voice was changed, too. The old
tone was there, as he said:
Bring me a vase, and some water,
please. Look at the lovely flowers
my little niece has brought me-
The housekpeeer hurried away to
get what he wanted and to wipe the
tears of gladness that had come into
her eyes.
At Alverstan, Bernard and his wife
were kneeling in their little chapel,
praying still as they had prayed so
many years for the reconciliation
that had come at last, though they
knew 1t not yet.
Bernard at length, could no longer
bear the suspense-he left the house
and wandered into the garden. Yes
it was his brother coming out OF
the copse that separated Al
verstan from Waltham, and,
leading Renee by the hand, he hast
ened to tell his wife the joyful news,
and together they awaited the long
lost, dearly loved brother. We can
not describe the meeting; things like
that lose their beauty when they are
reduced to dry details of a paper.
Later on in the day James said to
Queenie:-
"Do you know how nearly l made
a murderer of myself seventeen years
ago?"
II know nothing of you, James,
but what is good, you have always
been to me dear brother-the past
is nothing"
To Bernard he said
''The Oldest boy ofyours must drop
the Alverstan and keep only Faverche,
he is my heir, you know"
Brother, such an idea has never
been thought olive have always
hoped, and still hope, you will marry
some day."

since knew he was born. But now
l must go home. l have something
of greater Importance to do before l
sleep tonight. l have been reconcil-
ed to my brother, and now l can
make my peace with God; for seven
teen years have never entered a
church."
There is nothing more to add, on
~, no happier family slept that night
than those who laid their heads to
rest beneath the roof of Alverstan
Chase. Love had prevailed; Hate
had vanished; for verify "a little
child did lead them"

Sizes in Clothing.

few people understand the common
rules OF measurement in purchasing
wearing apparel. For instance, a
man will buy a coat that is q
"size" to small or to large. "A"size"
smaller or a "size" larger is what he
probably needs, but he probably
does not know what "size" is.
