THE PRESENTATION.

For three days and three nights the
nuns had no rest. At midday on Sun
day the nuns were all summoned in or
der to meet at o'clock in the large re-
ception room. At o'clock the pasha
arrived in state and all the dignitaries
took their places. But the superior and
the sisters, where are they?
A carriage is heard approaching.
''Here they come!" At once a serenade
began, and a thousand voices cried
aloud, Long live the Sisters of Chari-
tyr" The soldiers presented arms; the
crowd pressed forward, so that the dra-
gomans had difficulty in making way
for the sisters. But at length they as
cended the main steps, preceded by the
dragomans.
On their entry all arose. "You are
welcome, sisters" said the pasha in ex-
cellent French. 81 am too much aston
ished at the appearance You have given
to this house, in which You have been
working for only three days, to be able
to congratulate you as 1 ought" Your
excellency, we have done our duty"
said Sister Sion. 81 am delighted, ;" re-
piled the pasha, ''and we can only con
gratulate ourselves on our choice" The
whole meeting testified to their pro-
found sympathy and agreement. "Do
you find anything wanting, gentlemen,
or is everything as you wish?" said the
pasha, turning to the authorities.
''For my part, said the grand rabbi,
''the most beautiful thing | see in the
hospital is the Sisters of Charity. For
five years we have watched them at
work, and they have never fallen short
of their professions. They have been
mothers and sisters to all, whosoever
they might be-

OPENING A HOSPITAL.
ALL SECTS AND RELIGIONS IN A
JERUSALEM CHARITY.

Turks, Christians, Jews and Greeks
Unite in Putting the Sisters of Charity
in Charge of the Building and Its
work-An Impressive Scene.
A most interesting article of The Jour
nal des Debats describes a remarkable
scene which took place in Jerusalem.
The need of a municipal hospital for the
reception of all the sick of the city had
long been felt in Jerusalem. The pasha,
an excellent man, has Just carried out
this important work, which had already
been begun by his predecessor. Rahouf
Pasha.
But whom to put in care of the sick:
Jewish nurses?-for half the population
is Jewish, and 14,0O0 more Jews from
Russia are expected. Or Mussulmans?-
for Mussulmans are also numerous. Or
Greeks or Armenians, Copts or Catho-
lies? The question long remained with
out solution.
Finally the president of the municipal
council, accompanied by two Effendis,
presented himself before Sister Sion, su-
perioress of the Daughters of Charity,
and asked her to give some of her nuns
for the service of the hospital. She at
once asked from her superiors the per
mission to accept the invitation, and a
few days later the municipality itself
came to thank the sisters for their con
sent. and beg them at once to arrange
the house for the reception of the sick.
There was no time to lose. In early
May they received their notice, and on
Sunday. May 10, the opening was to take
place in presence of Ibrahim Pasha and
the seraglio-that is to say, the council
of a member of each national
ity, the heads of all the religions and the
council.

IT is ungenerous to withhold an ex
preston of sympathy for those who have
failed in the accomplishment of great
undertakings in which they have en-
barked all their pecuniary, physical and
intellectual resources. AS a general rule,
people are hardly considerate enough to-
ward the unsuccessful. There is too
great disposition to forget their pluck
and perseverance, and sneer at their
trustfulness. We ought to bear in mind
that it is this sublime audacity of faith
to which we are indebted for the mar
yellous achievements of our age.

1t used to be said that he who made a
blade of grass grow where none grew
before, was benefactor to his kind. In
the near future it will be said, in civil
ized countries, that he who takes away
a single anxiety from the mind of over
burdened man is friend to the race. 1t
is wonderful what brave men can do and
endure if they have intermediate periods
of complete rest and quiet.

MANY people never learn the full
meaning of gratitude. They imagine
that its chief office is to make, if posi-
BILE, some corresponding return. If they
would remember that the benefit con-
ferred consists much more in the feeling
of kindness, good will, or sympathy
which prompts it than in anything actu-
ally given or done, they would have a
different view of the sort of gratitude
that ought to follow.

not take the time and trouble to study
his disposition, and thus learn how to

AN obtuse and stolid adherence to
things as they are should never be dig
nifed by the name of loyalty. If no one
changed his ideas or methods, if no one
lifted his thoughts or his conduct from
alower to higher plane, the world would
stand still, and stagnation would ensue.

A Novel Ow, Tran.

Uncle Tatum Fullilove, of De Soto
parish, La, has in his yard, near his
poultry house, q rather novel but effect
ual owl trap. 1t is made as follows;
An old scythe blade is procured, two
holes drilled about four inches from the
butt, and the blade then ground very
sharp. Tho blade is then securely spiked
or screwed to the end Of a good, stout
pole some twenty or more feet long, and
the base of the pole set securely in the
ground. The blade should be secured to
the pole so as to stand at an angle of
about forty-five degrees.
When the owl lights upon it to take
observations Gas he is almost sure to do),
he slides gradually down toward the top
Of the pole, the sharp blade cutting his
toes meanwhile. When the pain is felt
he naturally becomes alarmed, and spreads
his wings to fly. In the effort he makes
to rise, a still deeper cut is inflicted upon
the tendons of his feet, and he departs
either a hopeless cripple or an entirely
disabled owl, whose occupation as a
poultry thief is at an end.
The same trap may often serve to dis
able hawks, as they, like owls usually
select some high perch from which to
take observations before making an at
tack.-Fdvm and FSrtside.

The opinions and practices of vino
yardists vary greatly in regard to the
best way as well as the best time for
grating the grape. Some %propagators
have excellent success in grating on
roots below the surface of the ground in
December, or before the ground freezes
in the fall, protecting the cions by heap
ing soil over them. Others have tried
fall grating and failed. The most com
mon practice among ~vineyardists is TO
graft vines late in spring or after the
leaves begin to expand, using dormant
wood for cions, or that which has been
retarded by storing in a cool cellar. The
cions OF canes to be used for that purpose
are cut in winter, tied in small bundles,
and packed in moist sand, moss, or tan.
bark, then stored in q cool place. When
the time arrives for use they are taken
and washed clean with cold water and
cut up into the lengths desired.
The mode called crown grating is the
one usually employed; that is, inserting
the cion into the crown of the old stock,
which is cut off close to or just below the
surface of the ground. The cion should
be tied in place with strips Of Eastwood
bark, and the soil banked about 1t, leav-
ing the uppermost bud only exposed.
No wax is used in grating the grape by
this mode, as the soil drawn around the
cion is a better and more natural pro-
ection than grating wax.-NeO York

property near Bonanza, in the Big Horn
basin' left Buffalo, a supply point, 100 miles
away, with merchandise for himself and
nelghbors. The load included a five gallon
cask or whisky, distilled from turpentine
and brass filings. He drank heavily of the

leaving Buffalo, but he pulled on ahead. and

A Self. Boring We'll.

An a~rtesian well, now partly completed
at Pesth, Hungary, has reached a depth
of 14OO yards, and by the time it is fin
ished will be the deepest of its kind in
the world. 1t is intended to supply hot
water for a great bathhouse connected
with a large hotel; at present that which
is obtained has a temperature of 1G4 de-
grees Fahrenheit, and it is expected that
1900 yards will raise the temperature to
$50 degrees or 200 degrees. The most
curious feature about this well is the
adaptation 10 it of automatic machinery
for boring, the water-power for which is
supplied by the well itself. By this
means the boring has been conducted at
double its previous rate. Surely this is
a great age, when water squirting from a
well can be so harnessed as to increase
the depth of the well from which it
comes.-NeW Orleans Pieayme.

DRINKING A FARM.

My homeless friend with the chromatic
nose, while you are stirring up the sugar in
a ten cent glass Of gin, let me give you a fact
to wash down with it, You say YOU have
ionged for years for the free, independent
lie OF the farmer, but have never been able
70 get enough money together to buy a farm.
but this is just where you are mistaken.
for several years you have been drinking a
good improved farm at the rate of 100 square
teet at a gulp. If you doubt this statement,
figure it out for yourself.
An acre of land contains 43, $50 square feet.
Estimating for convenience the land at S43. SO
per acre, you will see that it brings the land
to Just one mill per square foot, one cent for
ten square feet. Now pour down the fiery
dose, and imagine you are swallowing a
strawberry patch. Call in five of your
friends and have them help you gulp down
the 5OO-foot garden. Get on a prolonged
spree some day aud see how long a time it re-
quires to swallow a pasture large enough to
feed a cow. Put down that glass of gin;
there's dirt in it-100 feet of good, rich dirt
worth S43. So per acrs.-BUl dette.
