Ny mother used to tell a story of a
curate in Norfolk parish, where the
rector N's@3 I6n-rlsidt.It. One Sunday,
just as the curate had entered the read
ing desk, the rector came into the
church, and sent him note to the effect
that he wished to preach, but had for
gotten to bring his bands. This ap-
pendage to the clerical wardrobe was
quite indispensable in those days, and
the only way in which the curate could
help him out Of the difficulty was to un-
tie his own bands and hand them up
into the three decker as soon as the
rector mounted.
But when the time came, as i'll luck
would have it, the string of the bands
got into knot, and by one of those I'M
accountable condolences that sometimes
occur the singers i'll the gallery struck
up the anthem Loose the bands of thy
neck, thou captive daughter of Zion" J."
and as they repeated the words over and
over again, and one part echoed an
other, ''Loosc the bands of thy neck
loose the bands-loose the bands" the
hapless curate became more bafled in
his hopeless endeavors to unite the knot
ted strings, and in his nervousness sup
posed the anthem to be directed to him.
l do not remember how it ended, but
probably the amusement it caused after
ward may have more than compensated
for the annoyance of the time.-Corn-

A LITTLE ISLAND COLONY.
Fifty White Folks Who Live ON a Lofty
Rock JuEt Big Enough for Them.

Fifty White Folks Who Live on a Lofty
Rock just Big Enough for Them.
A few months ago the handful of peo-
pie who live on Pitcairn island cele-
brated the hundredth anniversary of the
landing of their fathers on that little
rock. The world is always glad to hear
of the prosperity of this people, and sew
eral other little communities iahabiting
the smallest specks of land in the ocean
also excite much interest.
There is one island, however, of which
we seldom hear. It is Lord Howe ISL
and, the hcme of fifty or sixty white
people. about 600 miles northeast of New
South Wales. Years ago two or three
families from New Zealand thought they
would seek a new home.
They had heard of the profuse vegeta-
ton on this crescent shaped little island,
and decided that they would build new
homes there. So they went to Lord
Howe island, which is only six miles
long and about mile wide, and rises
precipitously from the sea to height of
nearly 5000 feet at nearly every point.
They built their huts, titled the land,
and after a while two or three other
families joined them. Some of these
original settlers are still living, but most
of the residents are their descendants.
The island is under the government of
New Zealand, and once year it is visit
ed by a magistrate, who settles all little
disputes. 1t is very easy task, for
there are seldom any differences among
the people. Like Pitcairn and other lit
tie island communities, they have never
found it necessary to build Il Jail.
There were none of the higher NAM
mails on the islands when they went
there, but now there are quite num-
Der of goats, swine and cats. which, hav-
ing escaped from domesticity, have
lived in tie woods so long that they
have become quite wild. While some
of the men engage in tilling their gar
dens others are out fishing. A great
many edible fish are caught there, and
the people find it very easy to live in
comfort without large amount of labor.
They say they have not the slightest
desire to return to larger communities.

cause they think they and their children
will need all of the 1920 acres of the ISL
and. Sometimes sailUr from passing
ship spends little while in the commu-
nifty, and has been known to carry away
one of the daughters as his wife, but
most Of the people are born, live and die
there.
They cannot travel more than a few
hundred rods without seeing the sea, and
of course they come to know every inch
of their little world. Once or twice Il
year vessel comes to them with large
variety Of supplies, and they purchase
with their corpa and other products the
goods they need for the ensuing year.
At the same time their libraries are re-
plenished with new books, a large lot of
newspapers come to their homes, and it
takes them good while to read of all
that has happened in the busy world
since they last heard Of it.-New York
Sun.

Ready Made Clothing.

am sometimes amazed in passing the
great ready made clothing establish
ments of Boston to note how differently
they are regarded than formerly. 1t was
less than a generation ago that they
were patronized almost exclusively by
workingmen, mechanics and farmers,
who desired rough, cheaply made cloth
ing. Merchants, bankers, professional
men invariably left their measure with
their tailors, and scorned what was fa-
miliarly termed "slop made" clothing.
But demand arose for fine grades of
ready made clothing, and the alert
American manufacturer was ready to
meet the demand.
The demands of the customer were
exacting, and to reach his high standard
of excellence scientific methods were EN-
ployed and competent designers. 1t was
the old story of the relative cost of max
ing one coat OF of making 500. But
there were men of peculiar shape who
heretofore had been able to become fitted
only by the custom tailor. He was too
tall or too fat to be fitted from the ready
made stock of the olden time. This
difficulty was soon met and overcome
until to-day, although the custom tailor
has by no means disappeared, the ready
made dealer has for his customers that
class of men who once scorned him

THE MYSTIC HOPE.

What is this mystic, wondrous hope in me,
That, when no star from out the darkness born
Gives promise of the coming of the morn;
When all life seems pathless mystery
Through which tear blinded eyes no way can see;
When illness comes, and life grows most forlorn,
Still dares to laugh the last dread threat to
scorn
And proudly cries, Death is not, shall not be?
wonder at myself! Tell me, o Death,
If shat thou rul'st the earth; if dust to dust"
Shall be the end of love and hope and strife,
From what rare land is blown this living breath
That shapes itself to whispers Of strong trust,
And tells the lie-if It's a lie-of life?

Origin of Time Measure.

The division Of the day into twenty
four hours originated with the Egyp-
tians, then passed to Babylon and Greece.
Why divided into twenty-four instead
of some other number of hours it is i'm
possible to say. The Chinese reckon
twelve hours to the day and night-evi-
IDENTIFY making their hour to correspond
with the time of the apparent passage of
the sun over one of the twelve zodiacal
signs.-St Louis Republic.

The Depressed Farmers.

ALBANY, y. V, March 25.-The
annual report Of the board of state
assessors contains this statement:
There continues to be a marked de.
probation in the value of farm lands
in nearly every county and the de-
preston among farmers continues,
while the prospect for improvement
is not good. Many assert that after
paying expenses, they cannot realize
from their farms, sufficient to pay the
interest of mortgages and consequent
ly thousands of farms are falling into
hands of mortgages.

Just Like Americans.

ST. Louis, March 25.-Late adj
vices from the Cherokee Nation say
political parties are becoming active
in the matter of nomination of candi-
dates for the chieftancy OF the nation.
In the coming election, the present
chief, Mayes, who represents the
Downing or democratic party, has
achieved considerable reputation in
his party of late and it is believed he
will be nominated for reelection:
while eX-Chief Bushhead, leader of
the national or republican party, is
being urged by his friends for the
head of their ticket. The Strip cues
ton will be an active factor in the
campaign and it is said the con-
test over that and other issues will
be hot and bitter.
