Sold Artificial Strawberries

''In a certain New York town" says a commercial traveller, Il once ran across some artificial strawberries, which were sold by local grocer. After he had been selling them for 8 week a rival grocer discovered that they were of the same size. A whole quart might be searched and there would be no one berry larger or smaller than any other. This excited suspicion, and close examination showed that the al- legged strawberries were mixture of apple jelly colored with aniline dyes and favored with strawberry essence. The molds were perfect, and in each one of the irregularities timothy seed were dropped, so that when the mess was poured in and molded the seed stood out on the outside, just as those in real berry stood. This looked so natural that the genuineness of the berries had not been questioned. If the fellow had not made them so large and perfect he might have gone on for long time without detection. IN. Y.

 Many of these old people are crooked sticks, not easy to bind into bundles. But in time they all learn to obey the rules which have been adopted with great care for the good of the majority.
 While these institutions are among the fairest monuments raised to Chris tian civilization, without which we shudder to think that many of our aged poor would be houseless and com fortless, yet in contrast to these we place another picture, ''the ineffable. eternal aristocracy of home." The dear old grandsire sits by the fire, and is still consulted for his wisdom and expe- rience The grand-dame, domestic, and cheerful and cozy as the family tea kettle which sings upon the hearth.

 Love and happiness do make such difference in life. Whatever is lost or won, love is the only thing worth gar nering for the winter of time, and how thirsty every soul is for a draught of affection.

Pathetic Scenes in These Grand

 Poor old dame: she had uttered a poem. Her withered face holds the se crets of the long days march which is just about to end.
 You pass or through the long room, with it's shiny floor and rows of iron bedsteads, with the little altar away at the upper end, and here and there a white face upon the pillow
 Here comes little old woman cour- tesying and smiling. She has a news paper in her hand, holding it close to her bosom, and is evidently anxious to tell us something.
 ''See here, leddies, read this," She opened the paper and directed our at- tention to a notice. It was simple notice saying that information was wanted of John Ragan, and that he might hear of his mother by applying to St. Mary's hospital.
 It had cost some friend trife to put this in the evening paper, and the prin- ter had set it up between a notice of an indignant husband who warned the public not to trust his wife, and one from a gay worlds man who wanted the blonde lady he had met somewhere to send him her address.
 Into this personal column of tragedies and comedies went the mothers inquiry for her lost son.
 .There it is," said she, 'all in black and white. He can't miss it, and he'll be sure to come, my John, and he'll find me a-waitin''
 Yes, there it was, indeed, in black and white-say, rather, in letters of gold, so bright that they kept hope warm in that forlorn old heart over which she carefully folded that worn copy of the Evening Star.
 It had been published more than a year, yet her faith that John would come was not made of such fimsy stuff as wears out in few months or years.
 When she goes to bed at night she is sure he will be here on the morrow.
 Thus she keeps the love lamp burn ing in the window of her soul. John will surely see it." Her eyes are bright and restless and she cannot be induced to leave the place for an hour, for John might come and she must be there to meet him.
 It is a large and comfortable building overlooking the broad blue lake, but we remember that it is a hospital, a place consecrated to pain and suffering.
 Many of the inmates are but frag ments of mortals, humanity's mutilated coin, and will never circulate again in the worlds exchange. As l looked along the line of withered faces and thought of broken, stormtossed lives my heart ached and yet gave thanks that some were found to make the sac rifce-some good women of whatsoever sect or creed-who were willing to pour their rich, abundant personality into so many empty lives.
 I asked one old man if he had any relatives living. No" said he, Il am only meself, with no relatives but me neighbors."
 The Germans and Norwegians never joke, but the Irish. even in pain and poverty, never lose their native wit
 One summer morning, some ladies of the flower mission went about the hospital offering bouquets to the sick, which the men, as general thing, re fused.

Games Postponed


The great interest which Is being
manifested In bowling this season,
owing to the organization OF the
Wheeling Bowling League has caused
considerable discussion relative TO the
building OF alleys at some convenient
place in the city. The creditors OF the
former management Of the Musee
Theatre have had under consideration
project 10 put good alleys In that
building, aud it is not altorether i'm
probable that this will be dones There
is little prospect OF realizing
anything on the property In its present
condition, and if given an assurance
that the games OF the Bowling League
would all be played at the Musee. 1t
is thought that the creditors will con-
struct the alleys. A REGISTER reporter
talked with one Of the largest creditors
yesterday, and he heartily favored the
idea. His plan was to rent the alleys
exclusively to bowling parties, and lie
thought they would not be Idle any
evening in the week.
A member OF one OF the best teams In
the League yesterday suggested that
company be organized for the purpose
of putting down alleys In the city, for
the exclusive use Of the stockholders.
He had given the matter some thought,
and was OF the opinion that one hun
bred and fifty or two hundred names
could be secured without much trouble.
The game scheduled for last night be-
tween the w. A. w. and Wheeling
Bowling Club was postponed on account
OF one team being unable to secure more
than three men. The Bowlers-Calumet
game, which was to have been played
tonight, has been postponed until Sat
urday night Tomorrow night the
Press Club and Columbia teams will
meet at Fetty's Harvest Home" place
out Caldwelrs Ran. The Columbia team
expects to win two straights, but may
be disappointed. Stranger Thugs have
happened.
The Board Of Managers Of the LeaRne
will meet tonight at S o'clock at the
Press Club rooms, A fall attendance is
desired, as several important matters
will come up for consideration.
