Electricity Serves All Purposes.

Wondrous boasts are made in this
country of the progress of electrical
science, and many Americans seems to
imagine that the United States leads the
world in this regard. But the fact is
claimed that little Switzerland is far
ahead of all competitors in the use of
electricity. Its rushing streams and
waterfalls are everywhere utilized for the
production of electric power. Arrange
ments have just been completed at Ma
LOLA Kursaal for heating great hotel by
this agent. The heaters are to be scat
tered about the buildings, just as stores or
steam coils would be, and it is understood
that the current is to be employed for
cooking too. The circuits run, of course,
into every room, and at night nothing
will be easier than to unship one of the
little lamps and put in the wires for
hot-water "grog" boiler, or tor bed

through the whole night, and st one

LIES TANGLED THREADS-

A woman sits the livelong day
BY swiftly moving wheel.
While through each hand a single thread
Runs from whirling reel;
And as the wheel turns round and round
In its unvaried track
The threads are twisted in cord
OF mingled gold and black.
A tickle goddess sits supreme
Upon her throne of state,
While joy and sorrow through her hands
Pass like the threads of fate;
And as the wheel of destiny
Turns out life's cord. behold,
From end to end the fiber runs,
OF mingled black and gold.
Hope is the thread of shining gold,
The sable dark despair,
And not a soul exists, but both
Are strangly blended there;
Yet when the tangled cord of life
By deaths cold hand is riven,
Faith, like silver thread of light,
Still reaches up to Heaven.
L. P. Hills, in Atlanta Constitution.
Sullivan republican. [volume] (Laporte, Pa.) 1883-1896, 1892-04-22

The Christian population of the world
is ascertained to be about five hundred
millions, constituting a third of the in
habitants of the earth. 1t is an interest
ing fact, remarks the Atlanta Constitu-
ton, that the increase within century
and half has reached this number from
only 200, 0,000,0 900. A year ago the pro-
gressive nation of Japan revolutionized
the Government and adopted a more
popular form. At the first election for
members of their Parliament it was found
that several Japanese believers in Chris
tianity had been chosen by popular suf,
frage. There are now thirteen Christian
japanese in the present Parliament and
many offices OF note are held by japanese
of the Christian faith. In fact, this
beautiful country must soon take rank
among the Christian nations, and when
we consider how rear it may be made to
us commercially by the construction of
the Nicaragua Canal, as we'll as
by rapid transit across the American con.
tinent, we may expec' our people of the
twentieth century to ecome nearly as
familiar with japanese is they are with
Europeans.

Frogs Legs Are Dainty.

1t is not a hundred years since Dr.
Kitchener, in his quaint old book, "a
Cooks Oracle" gave among culinary
curiosities, with ''roasted horse and
lizards in hot BROTH" "fried frogges. F."
Yet a dish of frogs legs is to-day a
dainty dish that almost any one will ap-
preciate. 1t has been estimated that over
40, 900 frogs legs are used in New York
in a single season. When it is remem-
bered that they seldom sell for less than
fifty cents pound, it will be seen that
they are no inconsiderable feature of our
markets. They will be in market in the
spring time, being in prime condition in
the latter part of April and in May. The
only part of the animal used is the hind
legs. The finest quality of frogs legs
come from Canada. They are brought
to market skinned and ready for use. All
that is necessary is to twist of their
claws. Sprinkle them with salt and pep
per to broil them; dip them in sweet oil,
squeeze over them few drops of lemon
juice and lay them on broier. Broil
them very carefully, about five minutes
on each side, until they are very deli
cate brown. They should be served with
maitre d'hotel butter.
A more familiar way of cooking frogs
is to fry them. Wipe them off, season
with salt and pepper, squeeze few
drops of lemon juice over them if you
wish; dip them in beaten egg and then
in the finest sifted bread crumbs. Lay
them in frying basket so that they do
not touch and plunge them into kettle
of boiling fat. When they have fried for
Fl We minutes lift them up, lay them on a
h otplatter, and serve them with little
decoration of green. Tartare sauce is
very good with them. No one who eats
frogs legs cooked in either of these ways
will be tempted to try the most elaborate
fricassee of frogs legs.-New York
Tribune.

Loyalty to the lost cause dies hard in
England, confesses the San Francisco
Chronicle. The death of Mary, Queen
of Scots, is still commemorated, aud
those who hold the Stuarts iu veneration
may lay flowers upon the tomb of this
loveliest aud most unfortunate of her
race. There is something touching in
this reverence, and in this country we
could have more of it with profit, for the
number of heroes that we hold in CRATE
full remem 5rance is painfully small.

IN THE BATTLE.

If trouble binds you, break it;
Life is often what we make it,
Good or ill--and so we take it;
Let not disappointment fret you,
If seeming ill beset you,
Cast it of, and hopeful get you
On your way
AS you make it, SO you take 1t,
In the battle every day.
If your genius slumber, wake it;
For our life is what we make it;
AS we shape it, SO we take it;
If we hunt for care or sorrow,
We shall only always borrow
Trouble from better morrow
Every day
As we make it. so we take it
So the life will run away.
If the heart is thirsty, slake it;
If a blessing offers, take it;
For our life is what we make it;
Joy abounds in happy faces;
Pleasure lives in rosy places,
Let us court the goodly graces
By the way;
And we'll take it as we make it
In the battle every day.
Dig the garden, smooth it, rake it;
For the math is what we make it;
As you work it, SO you take it;
Sit not idly hoping, dreaming
Wrapt in fancy's futile teeming;
Victory does not come by scheming--
Strike and stayl
AS you make it, so you take it.
If you faint not by the way.

A curious movement of population is
noted by the New Orleans Picayune in
Illinois. Sixty-nine cars recently left
Peoria for Central Iowa loaded with farm
crs, their families and household ef-
fects. The emigrants are mostly from
Mclean County, Ill. There were in all
112 adults and e,ghty-two children.
They said that they were moving be-
cause their Illinois lands had grown so
valuable that they could not farm them
with profit, SO they sold out and bought
lands equally good but much cheaper in
Iowa

az call this the dullest place in exist
ence," said Miss Jocelyn, half aloud
"the very dullest."
She does not finish her sentence, but
turns to the massive pier glass to look at
the reflection of herself-a handsome
girl in smart frock. After one glance
she turns back to the window with n
sigh.
whats the use? One might as we'll
wear sackcloth trimmed with ashes in
this place, for all the people there are to
see ones gowns. 1t was much more fun
at school, after all.
"Why"-suddenly craning forward
eff that isn't that frumpy little Miss
Blake with Mr.. Stanford, and he is hold
ing his umbrella over her! She has got
his arm, too. | wonder how he likes it2
Poor mail wonder if he ever notices
whether a woman is old and plain or
young and pretty?
"Now he's gone splash into puddle,
and she is actually looking up at him
and blushing and laughing. Oh, what
joke. Fancy her blushing! Why she
must be forty if she's day-quite forty.
And these little curls bobbing about as
she goes.
II wonder if her sister makes her
wear her hair like that2 | wonder if she
is in love with him? Poor old soul"
Mr.. Stanford is a curate, but he is
man first and afterward a cleric. Strong,
manly, gentle, he plays cricket with the
village boys, is ready to gossip for few
moments with the old gaffers, is men,
Der of the debating society as we'll as the
rowing club.
But Miss Jocelyn is young, and is not
yet able to grasp more than the fact that
she is better looking and better dressed
than most of the girls whom she knows.
So to her Ruth Blake is ridiculous
sight, and Mr.. Stanford's quiet courtesy,
which he would extend just as readily
and pleasantly to his washerwoman, is a
''good joke"
She watches them part at the Misses
Blakes' little green gate, and thinks she
can see Miss Ruth's upward glance aud
smile at the fine face above her before
Mr.. Stanford turns and comes striding
and splashing back through the puddles.
Then, having nothing else to do, Miss
Jocelyn plans a pretty little piece of mis-
chief, which she promptly sets about
carrying out. She has one gift, this
handsome Miss Jocelyn; she is very skill
full with her pen, and after little prac-
tice can initiate almost any handwriting.
And now she remembers that there is
in the study letter of Mr.. Stanford's s to
her father, and her eyes sparkle with de-
light.
"What fun to send poor old Miss
Blake a love letter. Perhaps she has
never had one. 1t will be a kindness,
positively. How she will blush and
simper-silly old thing! Well, serve her
right When there are so few young
men in place, what business have old
maids strolling about with them under
umbrellas.
''Miss Cornelia's lying down, Miss
Ruth. She have one of her bad head
aches, and she says as how no one is to
disturb her. And your tea is ready and
waiting, Miss"
Ruth Blake turns into the prim little
dining room, seats herself upon one of
the straight backed chairs and begins to
draw off her brown cotton gloves.
She is an odd little figure, small and
slim, and dressed in hideous antiquated
plaid, with shades of glaring blue aud

shattered by bitter shame!
Still Mr.. Stanford does not speak,
but stands there before her, looking
very pale. His back is to the window
and she cannot see his face well, but the
light shines full upon hers.
az did not show MY sister your letter."
she begins hesitatingly. "I thought
had better wait-that perhaps YOU
would change your mind, think differ
emily about it all, and then it would be
best that only we two should know"
She does not say word about
changing her own mind. She stands
there before him, a sweet, fair woman,
in spite of her old fashioned gown and
her oddly arranged hair.
She looks at him with smiling, stead
fast eyes, and bids him take or leave her
as pleases him best. And his courage
to hurt, wound, perhaps kill her, fails
him. In a moment his resolution is
taken. He strides hastily forward.
Ruth, do you love me!" he asks,
holding out his hands. And the calm
of her face breaks up as she sinks into
his arms.
ooh, so much-so much!" she almost
sobs. "But am not worthy of you.
You should marry some one ever, ever
so much better and younger and prettier
than /. Do you know" hiding her
ashamed face and confessing it as she
would have confessed a sin, "I am
thirty three"
-"And am thirty-four," he answers.
ssDreadful isn't it2"
When Miss Jocelyn hears the news, she
goes away suddenly on a visit to some
friends.
Three years have passed, and Laura
Jocelyn is older, sadder, wiser. She
has loved and suffered, and learned to
sympathize with others. But she has
never seen Mr.. Stanford or his old maid
wife again.
When she returned home the marriage
was over, and they were gone to his new
living.
"This was the worst thing I ever
did," she says sadly to herself. ~
will go and confess, and tell him how
sorry / am. What horrible thing to
have ruined two livesw
So she goes on her penitent errand to
the small town forty miles away. On
getting out of the train she asks the way
to the vicarage, and walks there slowly.
A child's laugh startles her from her
bitter musings, and she looks up and
across the sweetbriar hedge that is in
bloom at her side, for it is July again.
She sees but dimly an old fashioned
garden, a quaint, rambling house, for
that is Mr.. Stanford himself standing so
close to her that she could almost touch
him.
And who is that lady, the pretty little
woman in the dainty gray gown, her
fair, wavy hair knotted close to her head,
and her eyes shining with happiness2
With a gasp Miss Jocelyn recognizes
her. That is-no!-that was Ruth
Blake.
''Now let him come to me-" the little
woman cries gaily. .'Harry, you are
spelling the child. Let him come to his
mother"
Ruth stoops down and holds out her
arms, and tiny figure in white rushes
wildly for little distance toward her,
and then totters unsteadily, and finally
sits down plump upon the grass, the per
formance being hailed with a shout of
laughter from the father, echoed more
softly by Ruth.
Under cover of their mirth Miss Joce-
lyn steals away. She has received for
giveness unasked, and she has the sense
to see that to apologize to either of these
two happy, blessed people would be an
impertinence.- Globe.
