In the days when our grandmother
were girls there came occasionally inte
the family Of good deacon with nine
children village dressmaker. She had
an absorbing interest in other peoples
affairs, and always looked forward with
particular pleasure to the week during
which she cut and fitted for the deacon'i
girls, knowing that his house was IL
so,ue sort social center, where she wa.
likely to hear plenty Of fresh news and
entertaining anecdotes.
One day she arrived late for her work
and as she entered the house caught Q
glimpse Of the six daughters already as
sembled In the family sitting room with
their gowns and patterns, their work.
boxes and their new roll Of "Injy mus
En.p
But none Of them were at work, for
one was telling the other story of such
absorbing interest that they sat breath
less and spellbound, with hands fallen
in their laps or needles suspended in the
air
The sight was too much for the new
conner. With one mitt on and one of,
her unfastened pelisse dragging from
her shoulders, her bonnet askew and its
loosened strings streaming. she ap-
peared suddenly among the astonished
girls, crying as she came:
WHAT WHAT What is it7 Who did
what?"
She was answered, although giving
full answer involved the retelling Of the
whole story, but her comprehensive in
quiry became thereafter family by
word.

this day If one shows signs of too great
inquisitiveness, it is sufficient for any
other member of the family to ask, with

The Vatican and France .

PARIS, July 2.-Tbe pope has written
letter to the bishop Of Grenoble re-
garding the relations between the church
and the state in France. His holiness
says that he regrets that some Catholics
chow themselves rebellious in regard to
the injunctions of the church on the pre-
text that these injunctions are of polit-
ical character. The Vatican, the pope
adds, does not seek to enter politics, but
when politics are bound up with relig-
ious interests, as in France, if anybody
if entrusted with mission to determine
the attitude OF the church it is the Su-
preme Pontiff.

New Industry for Portland.

The Transcript says that the sugges-
tions in regard to printing colored labels
for canned goods seem likely to bear
fruit. as the Lakeside Press Company
are making some preparations to that
end. They have already manufactured a
few for Messrs. Burgess, Fobes q Co.,
and the disclosure of the immense con-
sumption by Gamers in this state.
amounting to many millions, and the
disposition of some larger packers to
patronize a home industry, is giving en-
couragement to the Lakeside Company.
A whimsical objection made against
the manufacture of colored labels in this
city was suggested by gentleman who
is somewhat of a wag. His statement
was that it would require many gallons
of lager beer to keep the machine run
ming. On the inquiry being made why
strictly temperate employees coul not
be had, the reply was that this had
nothing to do with it, that the colors
had to be mixed with lager beer to
properly s'set'' them. Curiously enough,
the best results in wedding certain kinds
of steel are to be had by the use OF sour
ale. These are among the mechanical
uses of the stuff.

SHE WOULDN'T GIVE HIM MONEY.
For This, Mrs. Townsend Tells the Court.
Her Husband Threatened Murder.

DEDHAM,, Mass, November 2.-The
trial of divorce libels occupied the atten-
ii IN of the Norfolk Superior Civil Court
this afternoon. The first case called
was that Of Lizzie S. Townsend Of Wey-
mouth VS.. William Townsend, Jr., OF
Lewiston, Me. The couple were married
at Weymouth on October is, 1873, and
are the parents Of three childron. Viii
liam wanted his wife to advance money
to start saloon, but Lizzie demurred,
and from this matrimonial storm de-
sertion resulted, the husband leaving her
in January, 1881. On divers occasions
William, she alleges, threatened to muir
der Lizzie. At one time sister Of his
wife, it is alleged, interfered to save her
from violence at her husbands hands.
Some evidence wa introduced to show
that Townsend is in the United States
mail service and that he is now living
with another woman as his wife. Evi-
dence was also put in intending to show
that William had secured, or had pend
ing in Maine, libel of divorce from
L zzie. His honor ordered the libellee
defaulted, and directed counsel for the
wife to investigate the matter of the
husbands application for divorce.
