The Fashion in Jewclry.


 The gift of almost any foolish, dang ling bit of jewelry makes woman happy, but ii, some one chances to give her just now a funny little gold heart, like the old fashioned carnelian ones our mothers wore, she slips fine gold chain through. the lovers knot that makes the loop, and hangs it about her neck, if its locket, or pins it on the front of her gown if it's brooch. and feels herself just the happiest wo. man in all the world. For, you see. she has. the very latest ornament that thegoldsmith has devised for making her pretty and happy.
 It may be of gold without ornament ation, unless her name be engraved on one side and some pretty sentiment on the other, or it may have (and then she is blest indeed), moonstone set in the center and be trimmed about with brilliants or pearls, or it may even have big pearl'or diamond in place of the moonstone, if she really prefers to have 1t so, and can have it. But it is just as well if she can't, for the moonstone is quite as pretty and quite as fashiona- ble just now.-New York Evening Sun.

 The doctor has this to say about tra- dition, history and fact before begin ming the real work of the book:
 Are the places that see in Pales- tine and Syria and the Mediterranean isles the genuine places of Christly, pa- triarchal and apostolic association7 Many of them are not, and many of them are. We have no sympathy with the bedwarfing of tradition. There are traditions contradicted by their absurd ity, but if for several generations sen- sible tradition goes on in regard to events connected with certain places, am as certain of the localities as though pen and document had fixed them. Indeed, sometimes tradition is more to be depended on than written commu- nication. A writer may, for bad pur- poses, misrepresent, misconstrue, mis- state; but reasonable traditions con- corning places connected with great events are apt to be true. I have no more doubt concerning the place on which Christ was crucifed or in which Christ was buried than I have about the fact that our Lord was slain and entombed. But suppose traditions contradict each othera Then try them, test them, compare them as you do doc uments. It is no more difficult to sep arate traditions, true and false, than apocryphal books from inspired books. Do not use the word tradition as synonym for delusion.

NERVE OF A CHURCH MOUSE.

Choristers and Organists Startled by
 His Appearance During Service.
 "Now, children, take your places" said the choir master.
 The choir, vested, formed" in the vestry room, ready for the processional
 The incident occurred in an Episco- pal church on Sunday, and owing to the loyalty of the church members did not leak out for several days.
 The choir consists largely of young girls about 20; the rest are boys and men. The organist is lady. The congregation was quite numerous, and everybody had finished shifting, shuf- fling, blowing, humming, buzzing and coughing in his seat preparatory to the processional hymn. Two abreast, the smallest wee bits of boys in the van, the surpliced rector in the rear, the choir stood, open books in their hands, ready to strike in with 'Harkr- hark, my sou-houl angelic songs are swelling" at the first tone of the organ. The sign was given. The organist drew the stops and the blowers alarm" The blower worked the handle like Q real good blower and the lady touched a chord.
 Squeak" said the organ. Blew ew-ew, ttle-rattle-squeak. Then it stopped altogether. More wind. One ''squeak" from the instrument and "Hark, hark, from the choir, and si- lence and consternation once more. The congregation became restless; the vestrymen looked serious and the ush- CTS and small boys hilarious. In this emergency the choir master rushed out and made dart behind the organ, opened it -"rattle-rattle-rattle" 1t went again. The trackers moved ever so little, but move they did.
 Don't touch the keys" he said to the lady organist.
 II didn't" she replied.
 '"Then there is Give me your um- brella" (this to the blower).
 With the umbrella the choir master poked between the trackers and finish ed his sentence, '"Then there Is mouse in the organ"
 Peep" said the mouse at the same time, and hid in the keyboard, moving the keys like ghost, Up jumped the organist from her seat and scooted Chats slang) across the chancel, as far away from the organ as possible. Real izing that something must be done to have service, the choir master signaled to his choir to march in with ''Hark, hark" their several and respective souls, but without organ accompaniment.
 They obeyed, and right well did they manage to sing unassisted by pipe or reed, the choir master meanwhile dili- gently poking away at the rodent. This, the mouse thought, was rather too personal to be pleasant So with a crawl or leap it escaped the threaten ing umbrella, and made for hole in the wainscoting, which it reached in safety. The lady organist was induced to return to her seat, and the service was continued with smoothness and reverence.
 Church mice are poor, that's true. But if they cannot find enough to gnaw in the sexton's larder or the rector's cupboard, they certainly ought to think twice before satisfying their cravings with the hidden harmonies of the king of instruments.-P -Pittsburs Chronicle Telegraph.

Farmer Keith. rerrtbl. Discovery

Jasper Keith, a farmer living in Win. Ion county, Alabama, awoke one morning and found his wife and 8 months-old baby dead in bed by hia side. Their bodies were badly swollen, and coiled in one corner of the bed was moccasin snake, whose bite is as fatal as that of the rattlesnake. Dur ing the night the snake had crawled into the bed and had bitten Mrs. Keith and the child. Keith was so overcome with grief and horror that he fell pros. trate across the dead bodies of his wife and baby.
 This aroused the snake, and it struck at Keith, but it's fangs caught in the sleeves of his nightshirt and he escaped the fatal sting. Realizing his peril Keith caught the snake in his hand and hurled it to the floor before it could strike again. Philadelphia Press.

Thrashers Union.

EDITOR TRIBUNE:-On last fFldaJi
the 18th of July, there were assemDiea
together at Berkin's hall, In MOTIFS,
those persons whose names are up
pended to this article, for the purpose
of taking into consideration the advis-
ability OF forming a Threshers Union,
and also whether 1t would be best 70
append to or make parto of that union
q mutual insurance provision whereby
Ii any member of the union met Win
a loss by fire, the other members oi
the union should assist him III some
measure to liquidate the loss caused
to the farmer, whose grain or other
property was burned, and also a pof-
ton Of his own loss. Further. TO Try
to bring about more fraternai FEELING
among the fraternity, and to make
some needful rules and regulations
whereby 1t will become possible Tor
threshers to receive reasonable COM
pensation for their labor and invest
ment, and be able to give the farmers
good and efficient work for reason
able pay.
Believing that with the insurance
article in the constitution or the
union that the farmers would see the
advisability of giving union machines
the preference in threshing, we there
fore cordially invite all who think OF
threshing this fall, in Pope or Stew
ems counties, to meet at Berkin's hall,
In the village of Morris, on Saturday,
the Goth day of July, at two o'clock in

facts above set forth and to take such

able.
