\ friend LIS LIT iy told rla the follow
ing story: In the western part of Massa-
chusetts raan had u fine stock farm
that is, :! farm for raising COWS and
horses. But few weeks ago fire
broke out III tine barn and burned not
only the building and the hay, but most
of the animals also. After the fire the
owner walked over the ruins. 1t was a
sad sight to see the Charred bodies of his
fine Jersey cows ana his high spirited
horses. 10 say nothing of the money lost
with them.
But at the end of the barn he saw a
sight which touched him more than all
the rest. There sat an old black hen.
He wondered that she did not move her
head to look at him as he came near her,
but he thought she must be asleep. He
poked her with his cane, and to his sur
prise the wing which he touched fell
into ashes. Then he knew that she had
been burned to death. But out from
under her camc . faint LITTLE peep, and
pushing h"r aside with his cane tho man
found-whIt do you thInk?-lO little,
live. yollo;v chickens. The poor hen
had sacrificed her Own life to save them
and had ECll her place in the fire as Cas-
abianca held his on the burning deck.
That sight touched the man moro than
everything else, and he has to own that
his eyes grew little more moist than
usual.-Churchman.

Bake Collender table, will be IL inch balk
line billiards. Go points night, and dur
ing the match each contestant will play
his opponents twice. The expert winning
the largest number of games will be de
clared winner.
In one respect Mt least the contest will be
quite n novelty. Owing to the fact that
the manufacturers have declined to offer
purse the match will be entirely in the
hands of the players themselves, and it
will be managed by fourth player, the
writer.
Few people not closely identified with
billiards have any idea what an anluOus
task training for a great contest with the
cue j.; what patience and self denial are
called for. and what hours, days and even
months OF the hardest kind Of hard work
each contestant does before he is in the
pink of condition. For many weeks Ives
has practiced six hours day to get on eShSe

still greater triangular hattie Of December
Schaefer has been and i working tire
leSsly To get his playing clothes On, and
it may be said with but little eNagger-
alton that he has almost slept ON his ia
bic. During the past two months he has
worked with his cue from six to seven
hours daily. and the result appeared in his
recent game with Ives, when he made the
unprecedented run Of GiS points Nov. -,
eclipsiug the best record ever before made
by ll3 points When it i Remembered that
two nights later Ives made run Of 40,
also breaking tine new worlds record by

THE MESS AGE.

President Cleveland's message to con
greSs is unusually long. but the number
and importance of the subjects with
which it deals made it necessary that it
should be SO. Like all of Mr. Clevelund's
utterances it is straightforward and to the
point. 1t is an able presentation of the
democratic policy.
Tariff reform. as embodied in the Will
son BILL is commended in language that
carries conviction, and congress is earnest
ly urged to pass the bill at the earliest pos
sible moment in order that the business of
the country may be adjusted to the new
conditions. 1t is not simply n revision Of
the tariff that is intended-it is a reform of
the tariff. Time will develop that it con-
tains no element of prejudice or
luminosity against any particular in
duStry; on the contrary, it will
result in the rapid growth development
and expansion of our industries upon a
broad, national basis
The president finds that the overthrow
of the Hawaiian monarchy was brought
about through intimidation caused by the
presence of an armed force of the United
States. He, therefore. is undoing the
work of the too hasty representatives of
this country in Hawaii. If the premises
upon which the president stands are cor
rect his orders are not only right, but
grand and good.
The presidents views on the finance
question are sound and consistent. He
| argues for honest money and wisely sug-
gestS that conferences which might lead to
dangerous compromises to gain temporary
relief. be delayed.

THE PHILOSOPHER.

In every soul is a slabless grave where
some fond hopes lie sleeping.
There must be love back of the hand that
is reached out to save another.
Happiness is a roadside flower growing
on the highways Of usefulness.
The best education in the world is that
got by struggling to get living.
Buy what thou hast no need of, and ere
long thou shalt sell thy necessaries.
A craving for sympathy is the common
boundary line between joy and sorrow.
Be not afraid OF enthusiasm; you need it;
you can do nothing effecrually without it.
Life appears to be too short to be spent
in nursing luminosity or registering wrong.
He who puts bad construction on g
good act reveals his own wiekedness of
heart.
Language cannot express to any one
much beyond what he has lived or expert
enced.
Metal will certainly rust if not used, and
the body will assuredly become diseased if
not exercised.
The hero never asks, what will people
think of me il do these thingsf" but,
What will think Of myself IL 1 do not do
themf"
The heart is always hungry. No man
uves happily alone. The wisest and the
best Is wiser and better for the friends he
has.-Toronto Star.

AN AID To BUSY FINGERS.

the most covetable Hffair l have run
across for many day, and I'm going to
fit myself up one at the first opportu-
nifty. When l tell you about it, I'm sure
you'll set about the making of one with
cut more ado, writes helpful woman in
Golden Days. Following is her descrip-
tion:
1t was great big screen, and it stood
in one corner of coy apartment, where
a busy matrun did her sewing for half a
dozen children. 1t had three leaves and
was covered with Powered cretonne, the
side that was Ion parade" showing dec
Grafton of puffs and rosettes. 1t was
only when you peeped around one corner
that you found out the secret of the gay
fancy. Upon the backs of the three
leaves every convenience for busy fin
gers was gathered and put up in real
shipshape. Crosswise at the very top of
the screen ran red and white braid, form
ing a lattice work, the incest snuggery
possible for paper patterns.
Down the sides of each leaf cretonne
pockets We're attached. to be put to any
use desired. The center leaf held firmly
in the middle substantial pincushion.
Beneath this We're tackled strips of leath-
er. into which scissors of every shape
and size We're showed.
Boxes of pasteboard, fastened in odd
places, offered handy home for but
tons, tape, thread, thimbles and odds
and ends.
TRULY" l exclaimed. sewing under
such circumstances must be delightful. y
And then the owner of this comfort
screen told me what constant duty ii
had done.
Il and my screen journeyed about to-
| gether all last summer" said she, from
house to garden, from garden to porch.
| 1t went with me to the choicest hooks
under shady trees, and from there to the
contest angles upon my piazza parlor. A
workbasket in which everything is jun
bled together does not compare with
this contrivance, where everything has
its separate place"

Still / did not mind that, and Clarence
was delighted. He wanted to come to
America with me and WOO the Indian
maiden, and when told him that $12
was as high as they ever sold, caught
him surreptitiously counting over his
shillings and trying to reduce the amount
to dollars. Little did the poor thing
know that the real squaw of the agency
who Is in good circumstances dresses in
horse blanket and cavalry pantaloons,
that she strains the wild honey of the
forest and the juice of the June berry
through her opera cloak and puts tur-
pentine in her rum.
Poor Clarence! Born within the sound
of Big Ben's mellow boom and in the
shadow of tho house of parliament,
where ever and anon the purr of the
Tory and the COO of the Liberal calling
each other liars and unhung horse thieves
could come to him like sound of doves
in quiet neighborhoods."

These things have been concealed from

Advice to Women with slender Purses.
Single Skirts Remain Popular. but Dou-
BILE skirts, OversEirts and Triple skirts
Are Making Headway.
How to make one gown do the work
~ two is an important problem in many
households. Women cannot afford to
make mistakes, hence care should be
observed in selecting not only the ma
terials for ones dress, but the fashion in
which it is to be cut. First inform your
self as to the prevailing styles, and ont
from these choose such as best suits
your figure, your station in life and your
purse.
Skirts are still of medium length, flow
ing out at the feet, in many cases visibly
but gracefully stiffened, and trimmed
narrowly at the bottom. The newest
thing is to make up the skirt with the
seams Tapped on the outside. as coats are
made. In cloth gowns this often con-

richly trimmed satin gowns are put to-

BILLIARDS BIG THREE.
Manager Maurice Daily Writes
of the Coming tournament.

The Great Triangular Match VIII Begin ut
Madison Square Garden Concert Hall
Dec. IL and Continue Six Days-Careful
Preparations For the Notable Contest
Although the championship Of the world
Is not involved in the coming match be
tween Frank c. Ives, Jacob Schaefer and
George +. Slosson-the big three of bill
liards-it promises to be the most notable
contest lovers of this great game of the head
and hand will have had the opportunity
Of seeing for years. Never before perhaps
has there been such intense rivalry between
the three experts. a rivalry that has been
intensified on the part of two Of the players
by the recent remarkable match between
Schaefer and Ives.
SlussOn and SchaCfer, the veterans Of
many a phenomenal battle with the cue
are both anxious to defeat the young Ma
pOleOn who 50 eleverly worsted them in
separate matches last year. and Ives Is
equally as DESTROYS Of retaining the great
prestige he gained owing to the outcome Of
those contests Another strong incentive
before the players is the fact that 81 500 in

risian model in cloth and velvet affords
good pattern for dress with double
skirt in other and less expensive mate
rails. The gown in question was made
with its clSth skirt opening over one of
velvet. Sometimes n portion of the
length of the skirt seems TO be pushed
skirt would seem TO be drawn up just IN
the center of the back rs well as a little
on each hip.
Quite as many of the new French
gowns are made with girdles as with
basques. The latest gowns have a skirt
of handsome cloth made perfectly plain,
with the seams Tapped over on the out
side or strapped like box coat. and a
bodice fitted closely To the figure and
finished around the bottom with two
ruffles. Some of the most striking dresses
for street wear are the rough faced tweed,
in dark colurS or black. made tailor fash
ion and very severe. and frightened with
Just a dash of red in the waistcoat and
revers.
In color the newest thing is fuchsia,
and great deal of brown is worn.
Black and white are much in favor. In
trimmings the newest thing is MORE
silks, not the old dizzy wares, but the
new fine meandering lines which are
crossed through with satin finished
bands and stripes.
y charming costume, which illustrates
several pleasing phases of the prevailing
styles, is made in any of the fashionable
wooden fabrics and trimmed with satin.

but wrapped round the figure with two

side with llrse jetted buttons. Tho back
is of black satin. slightly drawn at the
waist with loose figaro fronts. lined

All the skirts are certainly wider. and
a cross cut f1ounce let in above the hem

such balk line giants as SlossOn, Schaefer
and Ives are to battle on the green covered

the three balls, n leather tip too hard or
too soft for one Of the contestants, or a

lighted by electricity, but As all thrcc NJ
the contestants have been pEacticing 10y
gaslight l shall at their request have gas
substituted for electricity.
Slosson will put the finishing touches on
his training at his cafe in New York, and
Ives and Schaefer will do the same at my
New York and Brooklyn rooms. The beSl-
cloth used by each player will be oil the
same piece Of goods, As Will be the cloth
used during the match Each player will
--------
also have for practice purposes TWO sets uf
balls a. nearly like the balls to be used
during the contest as it is possible to select
them. These arrangements are Of general
character, but in the matter Of selecting
cues the players are governed by their in
dividuai preferences. Slossou is partial to
a light cue and will use one about u ounces
In weight. Schaefer prefers an IS ounce
stick, and Ives i accustomed to still
heavier one-l9 ounces being the weight he
favorS.
There has been considerable speculation
as to whether or not Schaefer has fully re-
covered the use of his wrist. twosmau bones
of which were fractured by a fall in Chicago
! last March. 1t strikes me that the best
answer to the question is Schaefer's recent
run of 343 in Chicago. This would seem to
argue that The WiZarJi's fractured wrist is
a great deal more effective than il was he
fore the accident happened.
There also appears to be considerable
doubt in the public mind as to who is balk-
line billiard champion of the world. Ives
he has offered to surrender it to the Bruins
ck-Balke> company, the donors
But as Ives and Schaefer have both violated
the conditions governing the possession of
the trophy it has, technically at least, re-
verted to the donors, and there is today no
champion of the world. On this account it
Is much to be regretted that the coming
triangular match between the big three
will not result in the naming of a new
champion.

To be desirable the floor must be prop

in evenly with putty. When this is hard
ened, size the floor wherever it is to be
stained and apply three coats of varnish
stain, taking care that each is thorough
ly dry before the next is applied. The
result will be bright, clear floor, which
can be polished with turpentine and bees
