VALUE OF PATIENCE.
A Quality Necessary to Success in Impor

a Quality Necessary to success IN lmpOr-
tant Matters.
II il the humility of patience which ex-
orcises all mere obstinacy, and transforms
silent endurance from a process of ex-
haustion-a mere waste Of streugth--into
a power that feeds us with new life and
impresses on US new character. Where is
there great national career that has not
been built upon the qualities which are es-
sential to pstiencel Perhaps the French
have evinced less capacity for patience
than any other equally great people; but
consider the marvellous root Of patience in
ments Of the French characters; and If
Paris has represented central impatience,
has not Paris ruined almost as often as
she had delighted France? In all the
other great nations Of the world, the raw
materials of patience are the most notable
characteristics OF the national character.
For example, among the Jews, the Ro-
mans, the English, the Germans and
Slavs, we say the raw material of patience,
for the higher kind of patience is far too
lofty as well as lowly virtue to be widely
diffused through any people. Even among
the Jews whose character in its more
ideal form appears to have been specially
intended to illustrate this great virtue,
the raw materials of IL far oftener degen-
Grated into mere doggedness than rose into
that transcendent spiritual quality by
which men win their souls. London Spec

Slowly the head of funeral process

Bishops palace and began to glide be-
tween the promenade and the church.
Four laughing acolytes in scarlet cas-
socks, with eyucifixes and gilded lamps
on slaves, came first. The priest with
his book came next, attendedson each
side by boy with a lamp to illuminate
his pages, He sang the service as he

long parallel lines came the friends
and relatives of the deceased, with
lamps interspersed among them, to the
number of about two hundred. The
heavy lava portal Of the cemetery by
the sea-shore bears the inscription:
''Do not be deaf to the voice that tells
you all is illusion except death. Here
all the lamps save two were pulled out
by the boys, and most of the mourners
turned on their heels, and, with fresh
cigars between their lips, returned TO
the city.
Ten or twelve OF us, however, ac-
companied the chief mourner within
the gates. A man with a sack of lime
on his shoulder and pipe in his
mouth. walking with the arrogance OF
one proud without cause, preceded the
coffin as it was lifted from iron stair

particular niche in the high ''colum-
bariumn which was TO receive it, Then
it was set on the ground, the lid was

emptied the contents OF his sack over

spreading and pressing it until moth

well-shod feet He kept his pipe in his
mouth during this operation. The
chief mourner. while minutely watch

burial OF his mother, found time 10

friends, and the two remaining acolytes
grinned and played tricks by holding
their lamps so that curious shadows
huttered over the dead woman and the
lime-man. At length the latter looked
up with an interrogative grunt: Are

Early Americans.

Simplicity in their mode Of living was the
marked characteristic OF the early settlers
Of America.
Every thing which pertained to them was
plain and transformations.
The food which they ate was frugaily
served and Of the substantial kind.
Their clothing was home-spun and the
moccasins which covered their feet were
home product, being made from the hide OF
animals and ornameuted with beads after
the Indian fashion.
Their homes were simplicity itself, con-
sisting Of roughly hewn logs and home made
shingles-the whole constituting the old
Log-Cabin home OF frontier life.
Yet those were model homes.
The wives and mothers were well versed
in the art of all that pertained 10 house
wifery
Conspicuous in the early home was the
striking figure of the old grandmother.
Not only was she the adviser in social az
fairs but she was the medical adviser and
prescriber for the sick Often were her
hands engaged in the preparation Of some
healing potion or remedy for the relief OF
those in ill-health. Fully versed in all the
bountiful supplies contained in the grand
store-house Of Nature, she wisely knew how
to utilize the curative properties contained
in certain roots and herbs ard Accordingly
she transformed them int oer'..:.in remedial
agents, which have made the old Log Cabin
famous for all time to come.
Conscious of the great value of some OF
those old time home cures a successful eff
fort has been made to re-discover the lost
secret of their preparation, and, coupled
with all the improvement which human in
genuity and progress suggests, they are
now widely known under the name OF War
ner's Log Cabin Remedies, the most promi-
nent being Log Cabin sarsaparilla and Log
Cabin cough and consumption cure
The suffering public has been quick to
recognize and appreciate their true value
aud the manufacturers are daily in receipt
Of much praise for the re-discovery and re-
vival of these old time remedies against
sickness and disease.
To the old Log Cabin home, however, is
justly due the praise for all the good which
may, thereby, be effected.

begins to form. During the summer

The London pavements, which
strike every visitor from this side OF
the water as so perfect, are receiving
tremendous amount OF local abuse
now. Wood and asphalt are too slip

wear. The opinion is freely heard
that London "has not yet solved the
problem of street pavements, and
seems as far off from it as ever"
Denmark has a new and unique
society. 1t is called the "Celibacy
Assurance Society," its object being to
provide for women who can't or won't

thirteen and end at forty. At the lat
ter age an unmarried woman receives
an annuity for life. II she marries at
any time after taking out policy she
forfeits all claims on the society. The
profits of the society are expected to be
enough to provide well for members
who never marry.

The very interesting discovery of

Western China is now well-supple-

clans or sects in Africa, south of
Abyssinia. These wholly isolated peo-

centuries, when Egypt and the lands Of
the South were in the hands of the fol-
lowers of Jesus. Mohammedanism
arising in the seventh century. cut off
this section. and has obliterated Chris
tianity to the north of them. What is
left, however, of the better faith is
now so thoroughly degenerate that it
is not worth the preserving. Africa Is
