"No. 119, the chaplain TO see you"
The Warder was not however, quite
accurate in his assertion, for the clergy
man who entered the cell was not the
regular chaplain of the goal, but the
curate of a neighboring church, who
was visiting the prisoners while their
usual pastor recruited himself at the
seaside.
The prisoner stood up and faced his
visitor, who shut the door behind him.
AS soon as the sheep got n fair look at
the shepherd, he exclaimed:
"Why, Josh, old fellow, how are you?"
at the same time holding out his hand
in evident expectation of friendly
grasp. The Rev. Joshua Bamlett re-
coiled little.

"Oh! stow it, JOSH" interrupted the
unabashed reprobate. "Do you mean

spell long enough to have it shaved of.
I'm Charley Micklereed.
What! Micklereed, my old Camford
friend. Yes, now see it is. But oh!
Charley, Charley, what has brought
you to this?"

bus known as Black Maria" ultimate

isn't in the papersP" said Mr.. Mickle-
reed, seriously alarmed for the success
of his scheme.
II have been too busy to look at n
paper these three days" replied the
clergyman. They ought TO tell me
what each prisoner has done and the
length of his sentence, but my visits
are so hurried they forget sometimes"
"Ahp that accounts for it," said the
prisoner, apparently immensely re-
lieved. well, took leaf from the
Irishman's book and committed an out
rage to call attention TO my distress.

"My dear Micklereed, it's against all
rules to tell prisoner what is in the
papers. But don't, pray don't look at
this serious thing in that light way.
You shock me terribly. You seem as
hard as"
IAN old horseshoe nail" interrupted
the prisoner; land let me tell you, it's
a good nail that gets harder by much
hammering. Only the bad ones break. :"
II can stay no longer now, said the
clergyman, as the Warder was heard
coming along the corridor; will come
again tomorrow. But do try, my old
friend, TO look at this matter In its true

The Sioux commission is greatly
indebted to the Catholic missionarie
for its success in winning over the In
hians to signing the bill for the open
ing of the reservation. There are
several Catholic societies at the var
ious agencies composed almost wholly
of young Indians. 1t is no secret that
the priests were desirious OF having
the Indians accept the treaty, and
their influence was effective in induc-
ing hundreds OF the Indians in swing
ing into line. With the chiefs, how
ever, who held out to the last, the
counsel OF the commissioners fell on
stony ground, until the the Catholic
missionaries succeeded in convincing
them that the promises of the govern
ment would be faithful lily kept

began his friend.
Character! what has character to
do with itPn interrupted the prisoner.
Isn't the right TO labor the pet theory
of the present dayp Besides, there was
nothing against my character. l didn't

reed" demonstrated the clergyman,
that you can't see that your boast of
indifference in religious matters was

that perverse individual, ''unless you
maintain that he who fattens oxen must
himself be fat. | give up the schools,
though, after that, and tried the docks,
but they wouldn't have me there. Then
it was prison or work house to get a
meal, ami chose prison as being easier
TO get into than the other place"
Mr.. Bamlett sighed and gave it up
for the present. 'Have you any COM
plant To make?" he asked mechani-
cally as he prepared to leave the cell.
Eyes, by Jove, I'd almost forgotten, {"
exclaimed the prisoner. "Smuggle me
in bit of tobacco the size of small
pea next time you come. can't sleep
without it. Wish could, for it must be
uncommonly nasty to swallow"

"RUM CUSTOMER, SIR, AMT HEP"
Mr.. Bamlett had several other inter
views with his friend, and strove, to all
appearance in vain, to exercise the
spirit of Indifference from his breast.
"Its no use, my dear fellow, said Char
ley TO him one day, II don't believe

the wife of VIM. Z. Gladstone, the

the late Sir Stephen Glynn, and from
him inherited Hawarden Castle, the
family-seat of the Gladstone's. The

main, dates back to the remotest an
tiquity, but the new castle was built
In 1852, and it is this part, with the
additions made thereto. that is occu-
pied at present. Like her husband,
Mrs. Gladstone is wonderfully robust
for her years, and her hair contains
but few grey strands, while her face is
almost free from wrinkles. Like many
English women of the last generation,
Mrs. Gladstone never knew how to
make herself attractive so far as dress
goes, and it has been said that she is
che worst dressed woman in the United
Kingdom. Her features, although
they betohen the true wife and affec-
tionate mother, are somewhat coarse.
Mrs. Gladstone is president of the
Women's Liberal Federation, an asso-
citation which works along the same
lines as the Primrose League, only, of
course, in favor of liberalism and
home-rule. Mrs. Gladstone, who
takes great interest in her husbands
political work, has many a time made
nice little speeches in the liberal cause,

George A. Fish committed suicide at
New Britain, Conn, few days ago,
and left statement as to why he
shuffied off the coil. He had for over
a year been fighting an almost uncon-
trOllable desire to kill someone, and,
realizing that he was losing his will
power, he preferred to put himself out
Of the way than to bring disgrace up
on his family by committing a crime
and then dying upon the scaffold.
Suicide is not often to be defended,
but this method may safely be COM
mended TO those people, who in mo-
ments of ''emotional insanity" desire
TO kill somebody. Let them try the
game upon themselves and save to the
community the trouble of reading
about and, better yet, the expense of
proving that there is more devil than
fool about them.

Praying and Eating.

II religious festivals make q people re-
ligious the Sardes are among the most
religious of nations. Seldom did we en-
ter town or village without finding the
place either in the midst of fiesta, an
ticipating coming fiesta, or discussing
the fiesta just ended. Scattered over the
island are multitude of small chapels
dedicated to obscure saints, and to which
the villagers for miles around flock with
provisions and bedding once or twice
year. They camp out in the open or
sleep in adjacent caves; priest says mass
In their midst, and they all eat and drink
as If they had never before had good
meal, or as If the rest of their lives was
to be one long fast.
A disagreeable litter of OK bones, ribs
Of sheep, orange peel, bean skins and
stones of olives strewn amid the grass
near the hermitage or on the level earth
at the very church door, bears constant
witness to the traveller of this sors Of re-
ligious junketing up and down the land.
The following statistics of food consumed
ata traditional gathering, merely to cole
brate the ordination of priest in the

magnitude of the Sarde festas in general.
Two thousand five hundred people were

whence weeds Come.

The Farmers Gazette, of London, re-
Gently made some practical remarks
upon weeds and whence they come. It
Is probable, according to this article, that
the six most obnoxious weeds found on
arabic soils are the dock, thistle, nettle,
charlock, the poppy and bindweed A
weed is defined as any plant out of place.
Cultivated grasses are frequently found
growing in arabic fields, and there they
are distinctly weeds, inasmuch as they
are fed upon the food which the culti-
waited crop requires and occupy the place
which it should occupy. In answer to
the question whence weeds come there
are, writes correspondent of The Man
chester Guardian, ''eight replies given,
to one or two Of which may refer. 1t
is remarked that the seeds of weeds are
often present among the seeds which are
sown, and that especially is this the case
in grass seeds. To guard against this the
farmer should go to seedsmen who are
known to have taken great precautions
in the cleaning of their seeds.
Further, it is remarked that many
seeds are introduced with manure which
is distributed upon the land The wind
is responsible for carrying the seeds of
weeds both into our gardens and fields,
and this is one reason why farmers
should not only keep their fields but
their hedgerows also clean. The hedge
rows are the cause of great deal of
mischief, as well as the strips of land on
either side of the high road, which no
body owns and which few attempt to
clean. If the farm is to be kept free
from weeds, the hedges. the bitches and
the roadsides must be kept clean also.
Among other methods of distributing
seeds, it is suggested that running sur
face waters and streams carry them from
field to field, that seeds are dropped by
birds and are found in their manure,
while others are carried in the mud on
their feet. Again, some seeds cling to
domestic animals and even to the cloth
ing of the men. It is remarked that,
after the invasion of France by the Ger
mans, weeds which had been carried by
the German army appeared in some
places where they had been practically
unknown before"
