FIFTEEN MINUTES A DAY.
IT'S But Little Time, But In 1t Much ca
Be A. ACCOMPLISHED.


Be Accomplished.
An excellent amateur pianist was asked
how she had managed to keep up her mu-
sic. She was over 40 and had reared large
family. She had never been rich, says the
Christian Union, and she had had more
social burdens to carry than fall 10 the lot
of most women.
How have you ever done it?" reiterated
her friend, who had long ago lost the mu-
steal skill which she had gained at an ex-
pense Of years Of study and thousands of
dollars.
Il have done it," replied the other.
"by practieing fifteen minutes a day
whenever l could not get more. Some
times for several months together 1
have been able 10 practice two or three
hours each day. Now and then / have
taken a term of lessons so as to keep up
with the times, but, however busy and bur-
l have practiced AT least fifteen minutes
every day. That has 'tided me over from
one period of leisure to another, until now
have still my one talent, at least, as well
improved as IT ever was with which to en-
terrain my friends and amuse ksell
1t is amazing to those who have tried ft
to see what can be accomplished by laying
aside even small portion of the time
daily Tor set purpose. You find your
habits of religious devotion wandering.
THE cares of life" are choking out the bet
ter growths. Seize a fraction of your time
and lay it aside for reading the
Bible and for prayer. If you take 1t as
soon as possible after breakfast, you will
be surest to get it. Do not curtail your
sleep for any purpose. The duty of sleep
is just as binding rs the duty of prayer.
Women will never amount to anything in
any department until they learn that the
care of their health is a sacred duty.
Doyou find your mental furnishings grow
ing rusty and dim? By reading good
book fifteen minutes each day you can
effectually renew your mental vigor.
You cannot master an art by working fif-
teen minutes day upon it; but The fruit of
years of study in literature, music or paint
ing can be conserved through busy months
by the devotion of even a few minutes
daily, If you can get no more time, to hard
practice. Then the health can be greatly
benefited by even short stroll in the open
air when it is impossible to take longer
ones. 1t is like the proverbial saying of
the pennies and gathering up of the frag-
ments. The results are truly astonishing

the infant German mind how to shoot
While the boys were in school, there was
the oracle, the infallible pope on hand to
keep order and to teach. But now that the
master has no more authority, his erst
authority is hOoted at, and scoffed and
scorned. The scholars forget what they
have learned from it, though they may
have learned, too, that it was not infalliDle,
as they once may have believed. So they
go to the other extreme, so far indeed as to
call forth from the despoied schoolmaster
the bitter remark that his former pupils
now act as If he had lost reason along with
his Office.
1t is but step from the sublime to the
ridiculous. Were Bismarck guilty of treason,
were he personally dishonest, were his
policy wavering one; why, were even his
party friends pressed to the wall by the
opposition, then one could understand
better THIS very ridiculous and unreason-
ing ingrattude. But he has not changed.
His political principles are the same. His
personality is the same. But what do
men care for principles or personality in
comparison with success? Were the her
NIT of FriedrichSruh now again the all
powerful Chancellor, the ruler Of Europe,
he would again have all Europe at his feet
as before.
Instead of that few of us make friends
with the oberfOerster, and get chance to
see the daily stroll of this fallen statesman,
his only constant admirers, the faithful
'doggen." bounding at his heels. AS he
passes there is the courteous "Guten NOR
gen, meine Herren. Truebes Wetter heute,
NEXT wahr?" Truebes Wetter indeed for
him and for Germany's gratitude TO the
maker of GERMANY.

In PEACE AT
FRIEDRICHSRUH.
The Home of Prince Bismarck
and What the Place Is Like.
A Struggling Village in Which the Iron Chan
cellor Has Immured Himself-BIsmsrck in
Power and Bismarck in Private Life.

7lNE of the most distant suburbs of
4&Ss this great and interesting city Is
SyS Friedrchsrub, the residence of
Prince Bismarck ever since his resignation
in March. 1t has always been fayorite
place of sojourn with him, though, as is
well known, the eX-Chancellor possesses
superb domains at Varzin and at Schoen-
hansen, writes Ebert F. Baldwin in let
ter from Berlin to the Cleveland Leader.
However one may judge the great states
man, now in retirement after forty years of
unremitting labor at the helm of state !;
however one may have thought of his
policy, foreign and domestic, during those
forty eventful years, whether one may have
wished for his resignation or feared 1t,
nevertheless certain it is that friend and
foe alike must regard the ''hermir' OF Fried
richsruh with feelings of peculiar emotion.
To the foreigner, as well as to the Teu-
ton, there comes ever the one regnant
thought that gratitude is hardly an admissi-
BILE factor in politics, any more than any
where else.
Of the number of pilgrims from this city
to Friedrichsruh, whether representing
home or foreign interests, it must be seri-
ously questioned whether they had In mind

KOSSUTH IN
HIS EXILE.
The Old Age of the Hungarian
Patriot.
An Interesting and Entertaining Account Of
the Most Romantic Personality Of Mod

natural curiosity.
where will follow the one in power. Dom
Pedro is out. Bismarck is out Then
reason enough to leave them in their Fried
richs or other ruben, and TO rush after the
new order of things. Not but what the new
order of things, especially so far as the
Socialists be concerned, may be far better
than the former bloOd-and-iron policy. But
that Is neither here nor there, when one
considers the gratitude due to forty years
of not only splendid government, but of
heroic foundation for future government.
As has been said, year ago they were
in Bismarck; now they are ready to stone
him who finds anything good in him.
The courtesy, however, OF Prince Bis
marck to visitors has been as unfailing as
has his every utterance been frankness
itself. 1t may be indeed questioned whether
the cordial reception Of SO many foreigners
would be calculated to appeaSe home preiu-
dice, but when the Germans stayed away
what else was to be done? The very
papers, such as the North German Gazette
the Cologne Gazette and others, which had
formerly been the mouthpieces for the ex-
Chancellor, are now estranged from him.
Only the Hamburger Nachrichten may be
regarded as still emphasizing Bismarckian
views. 1t is indeed hard luck for the modern
Cato.
True, too, it Is, that the man of iron is
lying ON the same bed of iron he himself
has prepared. Especially is this true as re-
CARDS tie press. What with the absurd re-
strictious ON the newspapers here, as
regarded from an American standpoint, no
one can be surprised at their servile tone,
aud at their equally contemptibie tone
toward him who is down" But he is not
down and OUT; only death will do that,
and may that dread event be long distant.
If it seemed policy to the ex-Chancellor TO
keep the papers, SO to speak, under his ap-
parently arbitrary thumb, tits not surpris-
ing if they are now released like school
children after hours, and use their own
thumbs in most expressive, if not conf
pimentary manner, toward their old school
master.
But all the same this schoolmaster taught

Esquimaux are believers in ghosts. They
also believe in the TRANSPORTATION OF souls,
that spirits return in animals, winds rocks,
ice and water; that they are evil, angry or
good, as the elements may be favorable or
unfavorable, and that they can be appeaSed
by hoodOO rites if the performer Is sulfl-
GENTLY yerSed in occult sciences.

Festal occasions are early in December,
when they have a kind OF harvest home, en-
tertainments being given every day by each
hut in succession, with an evening dance IN
the assembly house.
A day will be devoted to whales. another
to reindeer. others to seal, their whale
boats, Sleds. husbands, sweetheartS and
wives. This festival is kept up until the
whole programme is completed or some one
dies through exhaustion in dances of endur
ance.
The next is that of good cheer, in June,
when they quit whaling and exchange
presents, give scraps to the poor, and toss
each other up in blankets. Another season
of gayety is when the representatives OF
different tribes meet at the summer rendez-
vous for the purpose of exchanging COM
moditieS.
Dancing, foot-races and wrestling matches
are INDUCED in. Both sexes join in games
of polo, football and tag. In summer girls
toss sandstone balls with their hands, two
balls with one hand, or three balls with
both hands.
In winter they toss an ice ball with their
feel, keeping it from touching the ground
for hours at time; sometimes they toss
it from one to another.
In December, 1885, a little Revalinye
girl, when every arrangement had been

an hour or two she started to return home,
