When Tom read tho letter his first im.

was to use strong language. But he re-
strained himself and fell to thinking over
the various means Of escaping his duties.
A fresh appe,l to Mr.. Straightway be
knew to be hopeless. That worthy ascetic
did not only look upon cricket as q friv-
olous waste Of time. but he was a strong
advocate Of the celibacy of the clergy.
Moreover, by merely asking the question
Tom might offend him, and this he GER
tainly could not afford to do under the
circumstance.
There was nothing for 1t then but .
pious fraud, and although Toms con-
science rebelied against the idea of de-
ceiving his vicar, who trusted him i'm.
plicitly, he could not make up his mind
to dtsappoint Alice or to deny himself
the pleasure Of seeing her. He might,
under more favorablec rcumstances, have
dined at her uncle's house in Portman
Square, but az luck would have il he had
undertaken to conduct q N evening class
on both nights of her stay in town. So
he wrote q very affectionate answer,
promising that nothing short of an earth-
quake should prevent him from appearing
at Lords, and he at once set to work to
arrange u plot for the deception Of Mr..
Straightway.
The day before that ON which he had
promised to meet his Intended, Tom told
his vicar that he was passing the night
with a very old friend who ha just come
home from India, in his rooms near Jer-
myn street. This, it must be said, was
perfectly true. and. Of course. Mr..

"NIGGER MINSTRELS" IN LONDON
Amcrica's Burnt Cork Comedians
Have Come to Stay in England.

A popular English writer thus pays
tribute to the stronghold which negro
minstrelsy has obtained and is likely to
hold in London: The pleasant suburban
gardens of Ranelagh, VauXhall and
Cremorne have vanished. Londoner
sighs in vain on the hottest summer day
for convenient open-air place OF re-
freshment where he can dine, listen to
music and smoke cigar. The character
of the music-hall entertainments has
been completely changed. We have no
such songs as disguised Colonel New
come, no mock trials to CRAFTY prurient
tastes
The tragedies of Sheridan Knowles
and the comedies of Douglas Jerrold are
no longer in vogue, while only few of
Tom Taylor's many dramas manage
to survive. In private life the polka
rose and fell, and rose again, and has
finally disappeared. Corquet came,
was popular for Il time, and is now al
most forgotten. Lawn-tennis reigns new
and supreme.
tudes during the last sixty years; at one
time the rage, then tabooed, now again
popular. What is called "the sacred
lamp of burlesque" has been bright
and dim by turns, and now
fliciers once more. The circus has had
its ups and downs; sometimes with two
or three in London, until last year Bar
mum came among us with the ''greatest
show on earth.
Yet through all these changes the
negro minstrels" have kept their hold
on public favor. They came and stayed,
mot single spies, but in battalions.n
Rival companies have permeated the
united kingdom, and London has its
permanent camp of established singers.
Their songs, their dances, their puns,
their queer sayings, their bits of spoken
or acted farce, their ''wheezesn and their
jokes, new and old still excite laughter,

Shade for Poultry.

During the hot, sweltering days of
summer the poultryman should take
special precautions to avoid the danger
Gus effects on his stock, resulting from
an undue exposure to the suns rays.
Where fowls have their liberty, as on
the farm, there is no need of providing
artificial shade, says the Nebraska
Farmer. But when they are confined in
yards; shade of some kind must be pro-
vided, or the result will be most detri-
mental to the flock A very convenient
roof over one corner OF the yard, next
the house, where few additional
boards on one side will keep out the sun
during the whole day. The enclosure
should be of such size as to accommo-
date the flock all at once, although the
whole number would seldom go in it at
the same time. In this enclosure it
is an excellant plan to scatter grain oc-
casionally. They will often sprout and
afford dainty morsel for some inquisi-
tive biddy when the tender blades APP
pear above the ground. At any rate the
flock will get some good exercise in
scratching after them when thrown
down.
"A recent writer Commends very highly
the fir tree. This tree is very rapid
grower; the lower branches are wide
spreading and droop to the ground in
such n manner that the tree, though
trimmed to height of threeor four feet
forms n sheltered bower, under whose
cool, refreshing shade the hens can rest
in comfort. 1t also affords protection
from winds in winter.
BY setting few of these trees in the
fowl yard the desired shelter from the
sun can easily be provided.

SHAVING WIDOWS.
A Question that is Agitating the
Bnrbcrs of BombeN.

Shall the widows be shaved? asks the
Belfast Weekly Examiner. That Is the
great question that is at present causing
agitation amongst the barbers of Bonn
bays To western ears tho Subject sounds
trine comic, but in the land of the
orient it has a very different meaning.
In India it has always been customary to
shave the heads of widows immediately
on the death of their husbands. OF late
murmurs and protests have been heard,
and the native journals have been call
ing for reform. The BARRIERS have COM
menced to coincide with these more en-
lightened views, and 1t is expected will
refuse to perform the required tonsorial
operation.
The Brahmans have threatened that
they will use the scissors themselves,
but this is believed to be impossible, as
it would result in their losing caste-a
very important consideration with a re-
ligious, self-respecting Brahman. Up
country says an Indian contemporary,
the practice of shaving the widows head
is not so persistently enforced as in Bonn
bay. The hair is allowed to grow again,
and the widow has only to submit to u
renewal of the unwelcome operation
when she visits shrine of special sane
tity.
In Bombay widows are shaved regu-
larly once a week, and this causes them
deep distress. 1t would really appear as
if the widow in India was regarded with
the same touching affection and rever-
cntial regard as the mother-in-law in
lands that lie more in the direction of
the setting sun.

A Pleasant Entertainment.

A very pleasant entertainment was
given under the auspices of the St.
Anthony Crusaders' society at their
hall corner Eighth ayenu northeast and
Second street, last Sunday evening.
The programme was an excellent one,
those taking part in the same acquit-
ting themselves in an admirable man
ner. Robert McCaffertv reclted
couple of original poems and was fol-
lowed by w. d. D.bb, whose singing
was highly appreciated; Miss Ackerson,
who was present from South Minnea'
polls, sang with splendid effect and was
followed in turn by Miss Anna O'Brlen
in a we'll rendered recitation Follow
ing Miss O'Brien on the programme
came Miss Maggie Toomsy, whose
singing was one of the marked features.
VIM. O'3rlen and Andrew Hayes rem
dered Rotations and were generously
applauded for their efforts id this d.
rection. Besides the respected pastor,
Rev. James . Reilly, who was present,
were also Rev. Fathers O'Nell, Of St.
Paul, Glennon, of Kansas City, and
Harrington. The three former deliver
ed brief addresses which were certainly
not without sahumor-all containing
many 6ne passages in behalf of the
cause of temperance which they SO
strongly espouse in their different
localities. The hall was crowded,
standing room only being at premium,
and it is needless to say that the large
audience returned to their homes de-
lighted with the entertainment. Pre-
siding-odicer Turner performed the
duties OF that position we'll. Ihe re-
markable SUCCESS that the Crusaders
have met with i'll the beginning Of their
series of entertainments IN the East
Side is good omen for those that are
yet to follow.
