she found it difficult to get girls to at
tend the meetings, but now that it is

industriously making the acquaintance

nothing to discourage her yet.--New

professional chorus girl and the woman
who wishes to use the stage as stepping

good figure and pretty face, a certain

broke one of the prettiest of the st.
Johns girls was married to a wealthy
Newfoundlander Among their wedding
presents was house and grounds,
which was furnished throughout and all
ready for the newly married couple to

just few minutes before the brindle
COW gave that fatal kick to Mr.. Brien.
At the first station where the train
stopped telegram was handed to the

reached home in time to see the burning

little home and all the brides trousseau,
which she had left there, having no use
for it in her country outing, had been in
ashes for good half hour. By the first
relief ship, which arrived from Halifax
three days later, the bridegroom re-
ceived bundle of old clothes.
With the bundle came note from an
old friend, which said: "Dear Will
dare say some of your employees or
some other poor beggar who has been
burned out will be able to make use Of
these old togs. I dare say you'll be able

Goodness of Sailors.

down by the Hoche. His account does
not show where the fault is, for the pas
sengers saw nothing until the moment
of the accident. Opinions are much di.
vided on the subject, but the general
feeling is that the captain of Marechal
Canrobert was very imprudent in trying,
with vessel making twelve knots, to

ing large space and making seventeen
or eighteen knots.
What seems to have excited the admi.
ration of all was the presence of mind
and activity shown by the captain and
crew of each vessel in the terrible situa-
ton, which lasted nearly sixteen min
utes, before the Marechal Canrobert
sank.
The captain of the Hoche had grappled
the Marechal Canrobert, and his sailors
rushing on board, seized the passengers
and hurried them ON the deck of the gun.

ship was going down did the sailors hurry
back to the Hoche. The captain of the
Marechal Canrobert was the last to leavf
the ship. But for the GOODNESS of the
captains and crews there must have beer

The Sea In Miniature.


A model of ocean currents is to be ex-
hibited at the Worlds fair which will
possess great practical value. This
model, which is huge scientific tank,
is made to represent the surface Of the
earth spread out on an area of thirty feet
square, the ocean and seas being shown
by actual water. Small streams Of water
are elected through pipes under the
model so that the whole body Of water
moves exactly as the ocean currents
move. The direction Of the currents is
SHOWN by white powder on the surface
Of the water. Near the model will be
placed large map giving the fullest
details of the force, volume and direc-
ton of the various ocean currents

stutterinp and stammerIng.

Suffering and stammering are terms
that are COMPOUNDED. They are not
synonymous by any means. Stammer-
ing is an inability to properly enunciate
certain elementary speech words; slut
tering is vicious utterance, manifested
by frequent repetitions of initial or other
elementary sounds. Both are caused by
improperly acting muscles of the vocal
chords, soft palate, tongue, cheeks, lips
etc.
Some of these muscles are under easy
control of the will. Over the muscles
Of the pharynx, the soft palate and at
the base of the tongue, which move ats
root upward and downward, our power

woman's Work in Finland.

Woman's labor is more used in Fin
land probably than anywhere. We meet
women in almost every trade; they com
pete with men as clerks, as managers Of
limited companies, as doctors, dentists
house builders and especially as cashier:
in banks, where they are found to bt
mere orderly and honest than men. Il
is too common an occurrence for mel
cashiers to run away to America, ba
women stick to their posts. This woman
labor has today, however, received s
severe shock. A young lady, barrel,
twenty-one, intrusted with the entire
cash of large establishment, has rur
away, after having spent some 10000
marks belonging to her employers. Hel
chief checked her cashbook every nigh
and invariably found it correct. After
having duly certified to this the day
items were tempered with, a wrong
total made up and carried forward t
next day, and this she has carried on iol
q year and half.
Her employer had, however, reason
to suspect that something was wrong
and asked her to send him her cash
books. This she did, but on leaving tn,
office at 8 o'clock she went direct to the
railway and travelled over night to st
Petersburg and thence to Berlin, where
she was caught. How she has squan
dered this heavy sum nobody can tell
as she seemed a modest and kindly girl
never appearing to have more money

Pearl Fishing I'm Ohio.

Pearl fishing in the Little and Big
Miami rivers, Ohio, has long been a
recognized means of subsistence to hun
dreds of people in that region. Some Of
the finest pearls ever found came from
there. For one of them Tiffany & Co.
paid $1,000, and afterward sold it for
$4,000. AS much as $4,000 worth in
one year have been gathered. The
clans in whose shells these pearls are
found are raked from the sand bar dur
ing low water, where they are found in
beds similar to those formed by the salt
water CLAIMS. They are readily raised
when undisturbed and mature in two
years. This industry, through the en-
terprise of Hon. Theodore Wolking, will
soon be firmly established in Kentucky.
This gentleman is about to invest in two
boatloads of fresh water CLANS from the
headwaters Of the Little Miami. They
will be planted on the edges of his IA
nous fish preserves at Rosedale. Gov

Lutherans of Wisconsin, comes out
flatfooted for John G. Spooner and
John G. Koch. A graver political

saying it was unconstitutional.
:FA change In the above figures is made
by the discovery that the returns from Has
