Jenny Lind and the Monks.

There is one story Of Jenny Lind which
4 always recall with entire confidence in
It's truth, because IL ought TO be true.
After her return from her American
triumph she was in Italy and went
one day from Florence TO the Convent
OF Vallombrosa, TO which the young
Milton went when on his travels.
When she came TO the chapel tho
monks, with courteous and deprecat-
ing regret. told her that no woman could
enter. She smiled as she said: Perhaps
II you knew who / am you would let me
In" And who might the gracious lady
beY" asked the monks. But when che
said: 81 am Jenny Lind" every head
bowed and the doors were flung wide
open. Then when she seated herself at
the organ and sang where Milton had sat
and played. can imagine the heavenly
visions that nosted before the minds oil
tho monks and that they crossed them
selves reverently as they listened and be-
lleved that st. Cecilia had descended -

Strength and the Hair.

During the last few weeks the discus
sion as TO abundance OF hair being evil
dence OF strength has again come up,
some arguing that there was nothing
novel In SIMPSONS strength being in his
hair, and others that as rule the strong
est men are the least blessed with an
abundant hair covering. There are
necessarily exceptions to all rules. but
most freaks Of strength OF modern times
have luxuriant hair. There are five
or ak women now travelling with
dime museums shows, lifting enor-
nous weights with their hands or
teeth, and performing other extraordinary
feats Of strength, and nearly all OF them
have magnificent heads OF hair. Among
prize-fighters tho same rule applies, and
although athletes generally keep their
hair cut very close 10 the head, they usu-
ally have very thick growth Of hair. and
are seldom bald. Ancient history Is delved
into great deal In the discussion, but the
fact remains that tho strongest men OF
to-day have Ia almost every instance not
only heavy heads OF hair, but also quito a
substantial growth on the chest and arms.
IL may be that excessive bodily vigor and
activity promote the growth OF hair. or
that the hair itself is an evidence OF
strength, but which ever may be the
cause and the effect. the combination ex-
lists as a very general rule.

Gather Up the Fragments.

The Rev. DR.. Bartlett preached yes
terday forenoon at the Academy Avenue
Congregational Church on Economy"
which subject was by request. The text
was taken from John vi, 12: "Gather
up the fragments" and from Proverbs
xi., "a: "There is that scattereth and yet
increaseth: and there is that withholdeth
more than is meet, but it tendeth to
poverty"
DIR. Bartlett spoke substantially as fol-
lows: The tendency of the times is to-
wards splendor and ostentation. Is it
not time that men called a halt and in
quired into this tendency?
Economy is question which should be
considered in the nation and in the
family. Economy is one of those vir-
tues which should be taught early and
persistently. Il is true that economy in
the estimation of many Is associated
with meanness. but such an opinion
could not be more unfounded. Economy
is not going without necessary things or
even luxurious things; it is the going by
proportion.
Economy is forseeing contingencies and
providing against them. IL Is the TAX
ing care of little things and gathering
mp the fragments. Expense and great
expense may often be an essential part
Of economy. IL may often be neces-
sary to make ventures where great ex-
penseis needed,
It needs no profound thought TO find
ont that economy is necessary to the
well-being of the family and the indi-
vidual. IL is necessary in the palace and
In the cottage.
The rules of economy are neither
numerous or perplexing. Humility is "a
quality which is essential for the growth
of economy. Vigilance is also indispen-
sable A spirit ef extravaganza is gain
ing an alarming ascendancy, and the
remedy for this is economy. There is
nothing more likely TO prove beneficial
10 ours elves than that rigid economy
which marked the conduct Of our fathers.
Our expenses should be less than our
receipts. Pay as you go. Don't put on

Gen. George Sheridan Answers a Ques-
tion Yankee Fashion.
Mr.. Leech, the Director of the mint,
told a good anti-silver story the other
night concerning an incident Of General
George Sheridan's stumping campaign OF
last fall. Said Mr.. Leech:
Sheridan was going to make q speech
In town u ot q thousand miles from Wash
ington and he was warned before he left the
hotel that he would probably meet an old
gray haired, long bearded, plausible look
Ing fellow during his stay, and that he
should have nothing to do with him, for
he was crank. The man was fully de-
scribed to him. and he knew him when he
was accosted by him within . few steps
OF the hotel. The man asked Sheridan IL
he might reply to his speech that evening.
General Sheridan said that he had no con-
troll over the meeting, and that he could
not guarantee him an opportunity. The
old man then asked General Sheridan II
he would answer any questions during his
speech, and General Sheridan replied that
ho would.
THAT night there was q very large
audience In the City Hall and Sheridan's g
financial speech was received with great
applause. In the midst of 1t the old man
stood up and said, General Sheridan,
may be wrong, but would like to ask you
question:
There are nine chances out OF ten that
you are wrong, replied Sheridan. but
will answer YOU
"'What 1 wish to ask continued the
old man. is this DO you mean to say
that IL the government OF the United
States takes piece OF paper and prints
on one side OF IL the words This is one
dollar" and under 1t that IL Is legal
tender for all debts, customs and public
dues" and on the back OF IL prints tho
words This is one dollar" Do you mean
TO say that that does not make IL Il good
dollar. and as good for use as any gold or
silver coin In the United StatesY
General 5 eridan looSed at the old
man as he stood there In the midst OF the
audience and replied -
"'Old man, l will answer your question
by asking you another. Suppose the
government OF the United States should
take you and stamp on your forehead the
words Daniel Webster" Suppose they
should pick you up and run you through
one OF the great government printing
presses and stamp on your back In let
ters afoot long Daniel Webster" Now,
would that make you United States

The audience roared and laughed and
the old man sat d)wn."-Frank u. Car

DISAPPEARED FROM SIGHT.
One Of the Many Cases OF Missing People
That Baffies Detectives.

Mrs. Charles @. Brown, Of Roseville,
Newark, left her home at No. IA Gray
street. and disappeared from the social
and domestic circle of which she had
been the centre. Not the slightest trace
OF her whereabouts has been gained.
The last seen Of her was when sbe
closed the gate Ia front OF her house and
throwing a kiss TO ber children, walked
towards Orange street, only twenty-five
yards distant, with the ostensible inten-
tion OF boarding horse-car.
The mystery OF the woman's disappear
ancs is as deep to-day as IL was the day
after she left her home. The Newark po-
lice have had their best detectives at work
on the case, but they have found IL imyos-
slbe to secure q clue.
They announce that they consider fur
ther work useless. They have been able
to get no further than the mere fact that
the woman was last seen within twenty
live yards OF her own home.
The day that Mrs. Brown disappeared,
Tuesday, November II, she said nothing
to her husband (who Is carpenter) OF her
Intended departure, though she had been
talking OF taking trip to New York for
several days. In view OF the approaching
marriage OF her brother, Robert Stryker,
she desired TO make him an appropriate
present. She had been taking in dress
making, and had saved about SIS. Her
husband had given her $5 more.
After Mr.. Brown had gone to his work
on the morning Of November II, she ap-
peared TO take sudden notion to go 10
New York TO make her intended purchase.
II was about ll.3o when she completed
dressing herself. and as IL was raining,
che told the children to tell Mr.. Brown
eli ,t.l,s tr.kN In, ri
with Miss Thompson. She kissed her
three little ones good-by, and they fol-
lowed her as fer as the door. She took
with her small valise and a small hand
bag, in which she carried her purse and
her cards.

MRS. CHARLES q. BROWN, OF RosEvILLH
When Mrs. Brown left her home she
wore dress OF Brown Bedford cord cloth,
a black Astrakhan sacque, and a bonnet
Of the same material rs the dress. She
was OF medium height and slight figure,
and, though not handsome. was fairly
good looking. She was on friendly terms
with all her neighbors. and none Of them
ever observed anything out OF the way In
the Brown household. Her fondness for
music led to many little social gatherings
at her house, But these always consisted
OF her children and other young folks.
There are several hundred people who
disappear completely in New York yearly,
and are never heard from. Mrs. Brown
may be one 81 the number.

He'll Street Chapel.

The illness of Miss Anna Garlin Spen-
Ger prevented her giving her Christmas
address yesterday and The pulpit was
supplied by the Rev. Alfred Manchester
of the Olney street Unitarian Church.
The preachers text was from / Peter
1.25. "The word of the Lord Endureth
Forever" The word which is translat-
ed from the Greek as "word" may also
be translated as saying" that is "the
saying Of the Lord endureth forever" !"
The Lord has said many things all OF
which are rs directly applicable to this
age as TO the one in which they were
said, and whoever believes that this is so
and believes the truth of His sayings
has true religion in his heart. What is
religion? We know and yet we cannot ex-
actly tell. IL is the same with the def
milton Of the word life, we are familiar
enough with it, but we cannot explain it.
Religion has been defined as morality
tempered by duty and again as morality
mingled with awe. Religion certainly
does not mean the observing all the out
ward forms of the church to which one
may belong and at the same time being
depraved and unclean at treat. Louis
XVI and Charles ef Germany are good
examples of this sort of religion; they
performed all the outward obligations of
the church, attended innumerable
masses, and Charles even killed anyone
who so much as touched meat during
Lent; these two potentates, however,
were stepped in sensualism Of all kinds,
which more than destroyed all their pre-
lenses of religion. True religion is from
the heart, and though we may be able to
deceive the world, God, who alone is
judge, cannot be imposed upon. Let
religion enter into our daily life and the
knowledge that 1.-The saying of the Lord
endureth," will help each one to perform
more faithfully the duties of life and at
the end we may say we leave the rest
with God, who meteth to all as they de-
serve and rewardeth the just.

The Rev. Mr.. Reed and the Gamblers.

The Rev. Myron w. Reed OF Denver,
COL. Is n guest OF the fremont House.
The reverend gentleman is noted for his
liberal views In tho way OF practical re.
ligion. One characteristic OF his belief Is
that the right hand OF friendship should
be extended to the gamblers TO reform
them. And here's the way he puts that
principal into practice: A story is told
that one day the Rev. Alr. Reed was pre-
siding over meeting Of the associated
charities In Denver when some money
was needed and could not be raised. He
called a good brother to the chair, and
said:
Don't adjourn the meeting-l'll return
shortly"
Abalf hour afterward Mr.. Reed returned
and threw 5000 on the table.
Where did you raise the money SO
quickly. Mr.. ReedY VAS asked on every
side.
"0h. went out and touched the gam
blcrs-that's all" replied the progressive
minister

liberal views. and he never extends the
