Little judith, the eightyear old daugh-
ter OF Mr. Mullineaux, of the Inland
Christian .4dUocate, Des Moines. Iowa.
on learning that her special playmate, a
child of her own age. had taken the
whooping cough, took a bottle of medi-
cine. which had cured her of a trouble
some cough, and said: You must take
this medicine. 1t will do you good. :"
Mr.. MullineauX was curious as to the re-
suit and on making inquiry learned that
the little neighbor who had been unable
TO rest ct night, had been greatly RELIEF
ed IN that respect. The paroxysms were
neither so frequent, severe or enduring.
The cough under the genial action of
this admirable remedy, was loosened
The medicine liquefies the mucus and
enables the sufferer to throw it off The
attack in the beginning gave every evi
dence of being severe attack of whoop-
cough Indeed it was a genuine case;
but this preparation, while perhaps it
may not be positive cure for the dis
ease, is undoubtedly able to alleviate it.
If II does not cure it, it will give unques-
toned relief The medicine referred to
is Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. For

DAY DREAMS

"ris said that Raphael, whom men call 'l<uo-
lime"
In dreams full Oft, beheId his mothers face:
That face. which he had looked upon and loved
In sweet Urbino-famed as his place Of BIRTH
And that those features, since made glort-
Gus
fGlowing with heavenly light, winch altered not
But only heightened what scarce needed
change
Were ever with him. hIling his mind and soul
With noble themes and images sublime;
lowered about him as he Piled his brush,
And weaved herself into those mighty works
That make his name immortal.
So that his angels and madonnas fair,
That from his canvases benignly smile,
Are but the semblance Of that sanity soul
Which gave him birth and everlasting fame.
To all men, these sweet visitants Of night
Come not so often as the heart could wish;
For strange though il may seem, the forms We
love
And prize so well. who. with their far-on echoes
Pervade US oft by day, are crowded out
BY multifarious nothings.
But there are day dreams, which by far eclipse
The rapid phantasies OF slumbering night;
And sometimes when sad and quiet mood
Succeeds the fretful din OF daily toll,
The mind goes wandering back to childhood's
days,
And we are kneelng at the mothers knee;
Most sacred altar under Gods high Heaven
Where first We learned TO lisp His holy name,
And ask His blessing on the ones we loved;
Or as the youth. we feel the mothers hand,
Without upbraiding smooth the unfurrowed
brow;
And say a little word too full Of love
And tenderness to make It seem reproach;
To point US to higher, nobler life
From which the feet are all too prone to stray.
There, too, are angel visits-rifts Of light,
That glisten for moment in the tears
Which dim and blur our vision day by day.
And though the pictures which we hereby
paint,
And which the world dispraises all too oft,
Are void OF merit, and scarce worth the pains
Its tedious details cost; at times outline
Which before had looked severe, is toned
And softened by some gentle word or act;
Irradiating .n ~itt glowing life:
II Is the mother, smiling in the man.

How the Marriage Ceremony Is Per-

How the Marriage Ceremony Is Per-
formed Among the Buddhists.
A missionary describes marriage
| ceremony which he witnessed in the
palace of the Governor Of Cambodia as
follows: Il was ushered, amid a ire
mendous dinof gongs, into large room
beyond the reception hall, where were
seated the Governor and about one hun
dred noblemen and invited guests. The
brideA oom, young man about twenty
years of age, elegantly attired in silk
garments, was also there. BY the time
I'VE foreigners were seated a procession
headed by the bride. supported on
either side by demure-loolling matrons,
composed principally of aged or mar
RED women, all elegantly attired-en-
tered and slowly marched toward the
Governor.
The bride was not particularly in
teresting as regards personal charms
She was young, however, and dressed
richly and in good taste Besides her
silk dress she wore gold embroidered
scarf upon her shoulders; also gold
rings upon her fingers. bracelets upon
her wrists and armlets above the elbows.
The bride took up her position near the
bridegroom, both sitting upon the floor
but not looking toward each other; in
fact, throughout the entire ceremony
they both were perfectly impassive and
nonchalant
The marriage ceremony proper now
began. A number of wax candles we're
brought in salver and then lighted by
one of the mobiles. The silver waiter
was then passed around before the com
pany eight times, each one in turn sa-
luting the couple and wishing them
good fortune by waving or blowing the
smoke toward them, Thus expressing
something like the old English custom
of throwing the slipper after the newly
welded couple, the band Of string in
struments playing the meanwhile. Two
large velvet cushions had been pre-
viously placed before the bride and
bridegroom, and upon them a large
sword. The leader OF the theatricals
now came forward and went through,
for a few moments, a most fantastical
sword exercise.
"Dishes had been placed before the
couple upon the floor, with covers upon
them. Nothing, however, was eaten
Next, the hands Of the expectant couple
were bound together, and to each other,
with silken threads by the woman's at
tendants, probably some near relative
Thus were they truly joined in Buddhist
wedlock. And this completed the sim.

A Married Woman,s VIII.

1t a woman makes a will before
marriage the fact of her marriage
makes the will worthless. This is
the common-law rule, and still pre-
walls in the large majority of
the States. In Vermont and per-
haps some other marriages does
not necessarily invalidate a wom-
ans will, but unless one is certain
OF the point in her own State she
should attend to the matter by
making a new will Immediately
after marriage, and, if possible,
secure her husbands consent to it
written and signed on the docu-
ment itself. This consent is not
everywhere necessary, but is al
ways wise. In Massachusetts it is
absolutely necessary if by it's
terms the will cuts off any
claim which our laws give
to widower on the estate
OF his wife. A mans will, at COM
mon law and in the majority of
States now, is not invalidated by
ms subsequent marriage alone, but
II child is born the concurrence
OF the two events makes her will
also worthless, and he must write

THOUGHTFUL EMPLOYERS.

| 1t is an employers duty to be
as thoughtful of his clerk, as it is
the duty of the latter to be thought
full of his employers interest. A
good clerk will appreciate the effort
of good employer to treat him
properly and recognize that clerk
is human being. There is occa-
sionally an employer who seems to
forget this. He is unreasonable in
his demands, harsh and exacting.
He demands very long hours on
very small pay. He forgets that
it is not an employers privilege to
demand everything of clerk, sim
ply because the latter is in his en-
ploy.
1t is a good plan to occasionally
say good word for your clerk
and to him. Let him know you
appreciate his work if it is satisfac-
tory. If it is the clerks duty to
stay in the store evenings, surprise
him occasionally by saying, Well,
Charles, I'll stay tonight, and you
can take a little rest, if You wish;
you don't get out much" The
clerk will repay you, never fear.
Ii he has been tempted to shirk or
take advantage of you, the proba-
billty is that he will exert himself
to please you. It pays to be con-
slderate of your employee.
A retailer should advise his
clerks. If possible, instruct them
In business methods, and when OPP
portunlty offers where they can
benefit themselves, give them a
pleasant good by and what assist
ance you can, no matter how much
you may regret their departure.
A merchant in consistency must
be as watchful of his clerks inter-
ests as bis clerk is of his employ

Two Ingenious Paupers CAUGHT.

Sympathetic spectators gathered one
afternoon around a young man who fell
down in front of the Louvre in what ap-
peared to be an epileptic seizure. One
OF the bystanders stepped forward and
proposed to carry the invalid to a
chemists shop not far off, and another
offered to assist. The one who spoke
first took up the epileptic's hat, and
throwing sixpence into it said to the
crowd, II am a poor man myself, but if
each one OF you did as l do this I'M
fortunate creature would have some
thing to help to relieve his sufferings."
lmpelled by this generous example the
crowd showered coppers and small silver
into the hat until over ten shillings was
collected. -
Great was their establishment when
two constables walked up and seized
both the benevolent originator Of the
aims collection and the epileptic suffer-
er' The latter, as soon as he opened his
eyes and saw the policeman, forgot that
ne was an invalid and attempted to es-
cape. They were both taken to the lock-
up, and were identified as two we'll
known lazy mendicants, named Garnet
and Desmarets. They had enacted the
same dodge successfully in the Rue Saint
Honore during the forenoon, the epilep-
tic and his colleague on that occasion
t1eeclng the charitable to the extent Of
Us. The chemists assistant who re-
lleved the pretended sufferer in the Rue
Saint Honore happened to pass the
Louvre while his second performance
was going on. Suspecting a fraud, he
told the police. Hence their arrest

The Concerts.

Unqualified praise is heard on every
hand for the musical treat given. our
people last Saturday and Monday even
ings. The full house Saturday even
ing showed their hearty appreciation
by rounds of cheer that brought back
the musicians and singers, repeatedly.
Monday evening quite fine audience
gathered in spite of the storm and all
seemed to take the greatest pleasure
in the entertainment Princeton is to
be congratulated on the ability shown
by the homo talent in song, music,
recitation and reading. Most OF the
audience had heard Miss Jenkins be-
fore and expected much of her, and
their expectations were more than met.
She was called back repeatedly and
each of her selections were most excel
lent, and she sang them in way that
reflected great credit both to her voice
and to those who have had the training
of it. Some who have heard singers
with a national reputation did not
hesitate to make comparisons favorable
to Miss Jenkins. Miss Plummer's ex-
cellent reputation as a pianist was more
than sustained in the solos and duets in
which she played. Prof. Shibley
came very highly recommended.
1.-THE best player in the Northwest y
HAS but few equals on the instruments
he plays,' mo one should miss hear
ing him." and such favorable comments
came to us from men who had heard
him and were competant to Judge, but
that he could so completely captivate
his audience and so charm everyone by
his delightful music on the mandolin,
zithern, guitar, and banjo we were
hardly prepared to expect. Prof Shib-
ley plays all of these Instruments with
great skill, but on the zithern he gave
us some of the sweetest and choicest
strains that has ever delighted our
ears. If Prof. SHIRLEY does not some
day fill a very high position in the
musical world we will be disappointed

David Joyce, of Clinton, who is

David Joyce, Of Clinton, who is
a frequent visitor to St. Paul, can
talk interestingly on a good many
things. In St. Paul the other day,
he said: ''There are just two
things which make me timid about
investing heavily in logs and pine
lands this spring. One is the pros
pect that the free coinage silver
bill may become a law, and the
other is the Alliance legislatures Of
Kansas, Nebraska and Minnesota.
My State is striking example Of
the wisdom of farmers as legisla-
tors. During the past year there
was just one mile of railroad built
in the whole State of Iowa. The
farmer legislature that inflicted it.
self upon us brought about this
state Of affairs. They drove cap
ital by force out Of the State.
Worse than that, they fixed up
such freight rates that every road
leading out Of Chicago through
Illinois to point where they could
carry lumber from Chicago to re-
tail lumber dealers north and south
and somewhat west of us as
cheaply as we could get tito them
from Clinton and Lyons, though
we were much nearer to them.
In other words, these farmers
legislated millions of dollars of
commerce out of Iowa and right
into the hands of Chicago. It is a
somewhat peculiar fact to me that
every lumberman down there but
myself was in favor of putting the
farmers into power in the legisla-
ture. Now every blessed one of
them would like to be kicked all
over the State for it. "-Ns1uaeapo-
