III.-NIGHT.

The golden hues of the glorious spring sun
set had lost their radiance, the shadows had
begun to gather, one by one lights peeped out
from the windows of the houses, and the lamp
lighter was whistling merrily on his rounds,
when the writer stopped opposite a modest
and attractive dwelling and compared its num-
ber with a memorandum in his notebook. 1t
was one of those pretty little structures in
which the architect had combined with great
skill and small expense elegance of design
with practical utilization of limited space,
one of those comfortable little gems of houses
which clever woman can decorate so taste
fully and render so homelike and inviting-a
yeritable palace for honeymoon, and a cozy,
comfortable spot to live in when the happy
pair would awake to the fact of other peoples
existence. The taste of the fair inhabtant of
this little nest was evidently excellent in house
adornment, for the glimpse which the observer
caught through an aperture in the lace curtain
of the bow-window revealed a handsome and
richly-furnished interior, with many tasty
knick-knacks scattered around in harmonious
confusion. The writer fingered for some
time-must it be confessed from desire to
again behold the beauteous occupant Of the
dwelling. He fingered to some purpose, too,
lOI lib pdllcnI MdlJllB hdS cIc lOuB IGNdlueu
by the sound of wheels rapidly approaching.
1t was not pair of housekeeping bays that
came dashing up the street, but simply the
accelerated amble of patient, steady-going
cab-horse, and it did not stop opposite the
number that was written in the notebook but
with rare discretion it kept on and halted
nearly half square above. Then the sedate
old citizen alighted in an extremely dignified
manner, without haste or undue excitement.
He paid the cabman and waited till he had
driven out of sight before he approached and
ascended the steps and gently pulled the bell of
No. She answered the bell herself in dainty
flowing, clinging tea-gown,and as the front
door slowly closed the observer saw her shapely
arms wind themselves around the sedate old
citizens neck and her warm, curling lips cling
to his in long, passionate kiss. The watcher
| turned to go with a smile. He had penetrated
the mystery, and he muttered' to himself per-
haps in envy, "Thesly old rascal" Half way
down the block he paused, for there across the
street was the athletic youth, he of the Con
necticut-aVenue ''mash," bound evidently for
the home of his inamorata Should he warn
him, should he tell him of his danger, should
he rush across the street and confess he, to use
a slang expression, was 'Onto the whole out
it?' Discretion forbade, charity and sympa-
thy urged, hesitation triumphed The young

The Point of Sympathy.
Boston Transcript.


One of the first and longest steps of prog
ress toward intimate acquaintances is made
by the discovery of some point of agreement.
No matter how small it may be, it serves to a
certain extent. JONES' who does not like
butter, may find that Brown has similar
distaste for it. Immediately a CLEAN of
friendly recognition shoots from the eyes of
each. However slight and weak, there is a
link of human sympathy between them
They may even remember each other, al
though they never meet again, simply because
neither likes butter. Then, if it should trans
pire that there are other points of agreement,
the delighted surprise and confidence deepens;
Brown and Jones are cronies for life. Or it
may not be Brown and Jones, it may be John
and Arabella; then more may come of it, as in
the case of the pair in the story of an "African
Farm, wherein thelady asks the swain, "Did
you ever have conyulsions when you were a
baby?' 'Yes," said the young man.
''Strange," said she; ~ had convulsions, too:
wonderful that we should be so much alike !''
And agreement progresses to matriomony.

GOOD MISSIONARY STORIES.
Amusing Incidents of Life in Strange
Lands.


Wide Awake.
Missionaries are among the most entertain
ing people in the world. Recently l listened
to lecture on Siam given by a missionary
from that country, the Rev. E. P. Dunlap, and
l would like to repeat two or three of the
bright stories he told. OF course, onhis reach
ing the far-off country he must have a teacher
of the language, and this teacher was as anx-
ious to pick up the English tongue as to i'm
part the Siamese. Some of his definitions
show quick intellect. He called a wig
''hypocrite hair,' liar was "a bad adjective
for boy" a frog was "a hop noun," and
whisky was ''sin-water.n
AT one time Mr.. Dunlap was preaching to
Siamese audience, and the Governor of the
province was present. Like many officials,
he was a pompous, loud-talldng man, and
continually interrupted the discourse by re-
marks and irrelevant questions, quite distract
ing the attention of the rest. Mr.. Dunlap
hardly knew what to do, but at length he
stopped preaching and addressed the Governor:
''Your Excelency, there is man present who
continually makes noise and disturbs the peo-
pie so they cannot hear me. | wish you would
request him to be quiet.' The Governor at
once arose in his pompous manner and ordered
that 'any person who should speak aloud
again during the service should receive thirty
lashes." Thenceforth there was no more
trouble.
One of the stereopticon pictures with which
Mr.. Dunlap illustrated his lecture represented
a gambling scene. Gambling is the vice of
Siam. A man will sell his wife and children
into slavery that he may get the means to
gamble. One story illustrates the extent to
which this is carried. The missionary at
tended the cremation of woman of the lower
class. When the body was about half con-
sumed it was thrown off the frame to the
down tearing it to pieces. What do you sup
pose the mourners did then? They began bet
ting which of the horrid birds would get the
largest share Mr.. Dunlap approached the be-
reaved husband thinkingto offer words of con-
ISOLATION, and behold, the man with pencil and
paper was keeping the record of the bets
But there is brighter side, because the
King and the Prime Minister are friendly to
| the missionaries, and in all Siam there is no
hindrance whatever to preaching the ''Better
Way"
| lady from Turkey tells me that the little
| Turkish girls never have their hair cut. 1t is
| left to grow as long it will, and always
| braided in tiny braids of three strands. Each
| small head has from twenty to thirty of these
| tiny braids. What a snarling and pulling to
| get them unbraided and brushed out especially
| as it is only done once in two weeks.
Another lady, from China, relates the con-
| versation between two servants in the house
| of a missionary. One of them waits at table
missionary wait on his wife first at table this
| morning % 'sYes' "And did he give hei
the best things?n 'Yes'' Every morning
the questions are repeated, so strange does Il
| seem to these people that woman should bt
treated with consideration.

u.-AFTERNooN.

Up in the northwestern section of the city
two fashionable churches conclude their after
noon services at nearly the same hour. The
crowds that each contributes mingle and
coalesce and form the great nucleus of the
army of promenaders which each Sunday
crowd the Connecticut-avenue sidewalks.
Here may be studied every Sunday after
noon the makeup of a typical Washing
ton crowd in all its cosmopolitan character.
Every social strata is represented, from the
"Court" circle down through the line of dip
lomats, the Army and Navy, the arlstocratic
Government clerk with good connections and
limited income, both branches Of Congress
with the hangers-on of the same lowering In
the near vicinity, the clubman and man about
town, the mercantile clerks, the stran-
gers from everywhere, an occasional dar-
ing member Of the better class OF the demi-
monde, and sometimesa born-and-bred Wash-
ingtonian, class very rare in Washington.
In the midst Of such a gathering the writer
found himself on the afternoon of the day
when he witnessed the scene depicted in the
preceding chapter. The scene was amusing
from many points of view, but particularly SO
in watching the different traits Of human ma

man ascended the steps and rang the bell.
Again she came to the door herself, in the same
dainty, flowing tea-gown. AS the door slowly
closed the watcher saw her arms wind them
selves around the young mans neck and her
lips meet his in kiss. The watcher was dunn
founded. He was expecting a tragedy a
scene-lovey woman in tears and angry men
in a fight. No such thing occurred. The
place was as quiet as death. The
writer, overcome with curiosity, eau
tiously approached until his eye was in
range with the window before mentioned,
and, to his extreme qualification, found it
open. Four persons were in the room-a
motherly-looking old woman, the sedate old
citizen, and the young man and fair maiden,
the latter with their arms encircling each other
seated on the sofa. The sedate old citizen was
speaking to the young man, and the following
words could be distinctly heard "My son,
have at last obtained your mothers consent to
your marriage, and you and Eva here have
only to name the day. It's been hard work,
my boy, but when your old father has his own
son to please on one side and the orphan
daughter of his best old friend on the other,
why, even as stern woman as your dear old
mother has got to give in" The watcher
heard and understood it ALL He turned away
like an overdone autumn leaf before the wind,
and as he proceeded on his sad and silent way
he had just sense enough left to moralize,
'How many generous and kind actions are
misinterpreted and misiudged when viewed
with the blinded and unjust eyes of that ma
lignant enemy of justice-suspicion."

La Grippe.

The prevalence of this annoying and dis
tressing malady is exciting the attention Of
physicians and taxing to the utmost the range
of medical remedies. AS preventive of this
troublesome complaint, or as a remedy in
earlier or later stages when 1t has taken hold
upon the system with its characteristic cor
poreal and m entail prostration and depression,
nothing is more pleasant or beneficial than a
judicious use of pure, wholesome tonics, such
as the fine old Tokay, old stock Port, and
other medicinal wines of the To-Kalon Wine
Co.
These wines are guaranteed to be absolutely
pure, and for a number of years have received
the highest recommendations from the best
physicians.

THE TURKEY PoULT.
A New DeIicacy Which New York Epi-

New York World
In the eye of an observer entirely great
turkey poults are now dividing interests with
Easter bonnets, new styles in canes, and
other vanities of the flesh. While the vast
majority, even of New Workers, who are
supposed to know better than any other
people in the world what is good to eat and
when and how to eat it, do not even know
that there is such dainty as a turkey poult
in the market A few of the -Four Hundred,
who are said to have at times received pres
ents Of brace of this feathered dainty from
Ward McAllisters farm, and a select num-
ber of students of the art of good-living,
who make it point to familiariZe themselves
with the markets. are thoroughly well aware
that young turkey split and broiled like
spring chicken is one of the very best things
that even an American may have. OF course,
at So pair, turkey poults are far and away
beyond the means of any moderate purse, and
as they come mostly from Rhode Island and
are ordered as a rule before shipment, few of
them find their way into the open market and
even those in their long drawn and unsym-
mctrcal condition would hardly appeal to the
eye of a casual passer Young turkeys how
ever, are regularly killed on Rhode Island
turkey farms at the age of from six weeks to
two months and find ready sale at the figure
named. Some people stuff and roast them,
but they are best when prepared and served
exactly as spring chickens would be.
