A Small Bows Courage.

A boy seven years old, who died of
diphtheria at st. Adele, Quebec, last
week. displayed remarkable courage.
Sitting on chair near the stove, he
warned his parents that his end was
fast approaching, and then proceeded
to dispose of the several small articles
which belonged to him. To one of his
little brothers he gave his penknife, to
another his pocketbook and his new
boots, and to his sister case of pens
and pencils. The poor little fellow had
scarcely disposed of all his worldly
goods when he fell back in his chair
and expired.

Tenement Row Burned.

A three-house tenement. numbered
burned late last night. The row was a
brick veneer structure in the course
of construction. No one in the
neighborhood knew who was the
owner. One of the houses was
being plaStered. and salamander was
used to dry the walls. It's believed
that the fire caught from it. The other
two houses were unfinished. The build
ings burned rapidly, and when the fire
department arrived nothing could be
done to save them. The loss was total.
In their unfinished state the houses
were valued at about $4,000.

HoYT's LACK OF FAITH.
He Doesn't Believe in a Week of
Prayer.

At the meeting of the Baptist minis
tiers yesterday morning several of the
reverend gentlemen entered into
catch-as-catch-can bout with the ques-
ton of the efficacy of week of prayer.
DR.. Hoyt, of the First Baptist, had lit
tie faith in its usefulness. Said he: "If
nothing comes after such meetings the
congregation is apt to think that no
good results will come until after an
other similar event. Make the usual
meetings as interesting as possible. Be-
sides. the first week in January comes
at time when the business men are
very busy. If these weeks are neceS-
sary, would much prefer the first week
in March,"
The resurrection of Christ was also
taken up. Rev. c. T. Roe read a paper
on that subject in which he maintained
that the physical as well as the spirit
ual body of the Savior rose from the
dead.

An Important Decision.

An important point in a mortgage case
was decided by Judge Lochren yester-
day. The case had been appealed from
the justice court. The suit was one in
which mortgage on piece of property
had been given, not to hold the mort
gagor personally, but by an oversight
i'll the liability clause In the mortgage
had never been stricken out. No note
or promise to pay had been given. The
judge held that the instrument showed
for itself, and could not be overturned
by parole testimony. The mortgage in
itself showed promise to pay. The
case at hand was that of Cora Nj. Elwell

mands so much courage and faith they
dare not begin to build. Perhaps they
are courageous in every other respect.
They are not timid in presence of any
danger except that of trusting in tie
infinite mercy of Christ.
The sheep are more afraid of the shep-
herd than of the wolves. They shrink
away from the presence of Christ as
though he were tyrant rather than a
friend who sticketh closer than broth
er. They feel more safe in the ranks
of the enemy, where they must suffer
infinite defeat, than in the army of
Christ, which shall be more than con-
querors through him that hath loved
them. Men shiver and tremble before
religion as though they were command
ed to throw their life away, as though
it were surrender of honor and man
illness, and reason and self respect, and
all that is worth keeping.
WHY SHOULD GODS MERCY BE DoUBTEDq
What has God ever done that his
mercy should be doubted2 Was there
ever sorrow of his frailest child that
he did not pitya Was there ever a soul
that he left unhelped in the darkness9
Was there ever martyr that he did
not strengthen in the flames2 Was
there ever dying man to whose relief
he did not come at the cry of 'Lord
Jesus, receive my spirita" Aye, my
soul, what has God done that so basely
thou hast doubted hi1n2 Did he make
the whole earth desert2 Are all the
skies dark and storm swept9 Is life all
sicknessa Is the air all plague2 Are
there nothing but rods and scorpions
and furnaces2 God knew how many
suspicious and unbeliefs men would
entertain in regard to him, and there
fore, after making multitude of plain
and precious promises, he places his
hand on his own heart and swears by
his own existence: GAS live, saith the
Lord God, l have no pleasure in the
death of him that dieth."
Why, then, fight against God? This
day the battle RACES. Thou art armed
with thy sins, thy ingratitude, thy neg
lects and Christ is armed against thee,
but his weapons are tears, are dying
agonies, are calls to mercy, and the bat
tie cry which he this day sends over
thy soul as he rushes toward thee is,
"Save thee from going down to the pit,
for have found ransom" l would
not envy thy victory, o nearer, if thou
dost conquer, for what wilt thou do
with the weapons thou hast snatched
from the armed Redeemer, what with
the tears, what with his dying agonies,
what with his calls to mercy9 Would

HOUSEkEE PING IN PARIS.

The Burdens Are Lighter in the French
Capital Than Over Here.
The burdens of the housekeeper in
Paris, writes Lucy A. Hooper, are good
deal lessened by the fact that so much
work is done off the premises. There is
no washing nor baking nor stair and
hall sweeping exacted of your own
servants. For the first named the SER
vices of two waSherwOmen are required,
one for the best and table linen and the
other for the family garments. Among
the Fl st named articles figures large
lot of dish-cloths, for no French cook,
no matter how moderate her pretensions
may be, will consent to wash out even
one of those necessary adjuncts to her
work From four to six dozen ''tor-
chons"-as the French dish-cloth, or
rather house-cloth, is termed-fgure
among the first necessary purchases of
family going to housekeeping. These
when soiled, are thrown into large
box, with close-fitting lid, supplied for
the purpose, to await the weekly arrival
OF the washerwOman
The prejudice of French servants
laundry work is invincible I once knew
housemaid who left the employ of a
family with which she had lived for six
years because her mistress gave her
some silk stockings to wash. She per-
formed her task and Immediately gave
warning. 81 was not hired to SOAP"
was her indignant remark. In the
same way no cook, however skilled,
will consent to make bread
or pastry. That is the bakers business,
she argues, and it is none of hers. Yet
she will turn you out any amount of
dainty desserts, buildings and creams
and jellies, Charlotte Russo or pancakes
or fritters, but never loaf of bread or
= good American pie.
One of the trials of the American
housekeeper in Paris is the extent to
which her power is subservient to that
of the cook. That functionary must and
will do the marketing. She gets her
percentage on every article she pur-
chases, and if called upon to relinquish
these perquisites she will incontinently
take her departure. If she is honest
the extra expense will be but trifing, a
sou on every franc that she expends be-
ing the recognized amount, but if she
has made up her mind to rob her en-
ployers the prices of all kinds of mar
keting will be found to increase with
extraordinary rapidity.
One thing that tends to make living in
Paris very delightful is the fact that
"Mrs. Grundy" has never taken up her
residence there. That is to say, you
can live as you like, dress as you like
and do as you like without asking what
that parsonage will say. You are not
compelled to keep up any particular
style of living to satisfy her exactions.
Nobody questions your right to inhabit
garret, to GO to pay visit in cab, or
TO keep q single servant. In fact no.
body troubles his or her head about the
matter.

ABOUT CUT FLOWERS.
HO"- to p: Tx Them For Transmission
Through the Mails.

Through the Mails.
The pr cking of flowers is one of those
trivial concerns of everyday life which
most people consider very easy matter;
but, to Judge by the appearance of some
OF the packages of flowers which one re-
ceives, it would seem that, even in this
simple matter, it is possible to make mis-
takes. Of the numberless parcels of
flowers which go through the post every
day, few arrive at their destination in
even fairly good condition, and who has
not experienced the disappointment of
finding into what collapsed state soma
delightful present of flowers has fallen
during its not over-gentle journey by
post or rail? A case has been known of
specimen flowers sent to a show piled
one upon another in an ordinary band
box Card board boxes should not be
used on any account. Wooden boxes
are slightly heavier, but the extra post
age is we'll laid out in the certainty that
the parcel will not be crushed in transit,
as so often happens TO card board boxes.
The boxes should not be more than five
inches in depth, except in the case of
those employed for larger flowers, such
as arums, when they may be trifie
deeper. From two and one-half to four
inches is the most useful depth. Shall
low boxes su table for this purpose can
usually be obtained from any grocer for
trif1ing sum. The box, before the
flowers are put in, should be lined with
sheet of cotton wool and "a sheet of
tiCCnn oh0uo fo1x
that it fits nicely into the corners
and the sides. Then the box is ready
for the flowers, which should be placed
row after row until there is a layer of
flowers, fitting one into the other. ali
over the bottom of the box. A great
mistake is commonly made in putting
more than one layer in box. and in
crowding the flowers one on the top of
the other. This is quite fatal, and if
packed in this manner they can never
travel well. The rows must be as close
together as possible, the flower heads Of
each row should lie on the stems of the
row Immediately preceding it, so that
when the box is finished only flowers
are to be seen, and none of the stems
are visible. Tight packing is much to
be recommended; the parcels are rough
~ handled, and unless they are closely
packed the flowers will shift to one end
OF the box. The flowers having been
carefully arranged, another sheet Of
tissue paper should be placed over them,
and enough cotton wool to fill up any
space that may be left One layer of
wool is generally enough. If the box
has loose cover a nail should be put at
each end to prevent the corner of the
lid from slipping in on the flowers and
crushing them. There is one point to
be particularly observed. No flowers
ought to be packed Immediately after
they are gathered, but they should be
placed in water some hours beforehand.
The reason of this is that the flowers
may have time to suck up sufficient
water to last during the journey, that
they may not flag so quickly.-Queen.

THE WILES OF BEGGARS.
One of the Professionals Reveals Some OF
His Trade Secrets.


His Trade Secrets.
There was early mass at st. James
Church, on Wabash avenue, this morn
ing and the usual number of beggars
were present. Among the wanderers
who sought fruit in the Lords vineyard
was Jim Blood, hardly recognizable,
but nevertheless showing unmistakable
trademarks.
James was begging, and when corraled
had secured several dollars from people
whose hearts are longer than their
purses. He was taxed before Justice
Wallace, told penitent story, and that
soft-hearted magistrate turned James
Blood loose. He is now preparing for
his Sunday skirmish, as he calls it.
