A Conditional Marriage Fee.

The following is told by pastor of
a village church about eight miles
from Boston He was sitting in his
library one evening recently when a
knock on the door came. He an
swered and found couple who de-
sired to be united in matrimony.
The pastor asked them into his par
lor and performed the marriage cere-
mony, after which the groom hand
ed him sealed envelope supposed to
have contained the usual compensa-
ton. The happy couple departed,
and the reverend gentleman opened
the envelope and found the follow
ing note:
If she turns out as well as think
she will, | will come back and pay
you for your services. Boston Rec

STOVES AND CLEANLINESS.
One of the Advantages of Life In Tene-
ment House.


One reason for my preference for
the large tenement is that it permits
the elimination of the cooking stove
from each household. "A home with
out a stove Impossiblel" l hear
many exclaim. Not in the least i'm
possible-and something for the very
poor greatly to be desired. First, SO
far as heat is concerned, in a tene-
ment house holding so or 60 families,
heat may be supplied from a central
source which would be far too ex-
pensive in small tenement house OF
s or 10 families.
The poor usually buy fuel in small
quantities at exceptionally high rates,
and this amount, if added to their
rent, would in large tenement sup
ply them with heat by steam or hot
water, which would be far prefer
able for the following reasons: The
storing of fuel and the carrying it up
long flights of stairs by the hodful
would be done away with, and the
sending children out to gather kin
ding from wharves, streets and va
cant lots, with the dirt and slovenh
ness and WEAKNESS which always at
tend such work, would be abolished
No one who has not worked long
among the poor can realize the serious
drawback to good temper, comfort
and cleanliness that the mere care OF
fuel, the cleaning of the stove, and
the disposal of ashes involve with
people who must eat, sleep, bathe and
live around coal stove three or four
flights from the cellar or ash barrel,
as is the case in the majority OF our
tenements. The waste in fuel Is Of
ten appalling, due largely to igno-
rance about drafts and to letting the
fire go out during mornings alb
sence from home and then rebuilding
it to cook the dinner.
once saw child of 10 in room
strewed with shavings and ashes try
to make fire by placing the coal on
the bottom of the CRATE and Lighting
from the top the kindling and paper
that were laid over it. In families
that were receiving coal given In
charity l have repeatedly seen red
hot stoves packed full of coal, the
drafts all open and the heat going up
the chimney. The doing away with
the heat of stove in the living room
during the summer months Is no
small contribution to the health and
good temper of the inmates. Lucia

Great Accommodation.

On and after next Sunday our citizens
are congratulating themselves that there
will be two daily trains 10 and from Port
land, This will furnish an available OPP
portunity'to the travelling public to visit
the metropolis without being deprived of
the restful hours of sleep. The one leav-
ing this city at 3 P. NJ. will be q mixed
train, and is put on for the accommoda-
ton of our citizens. Leaving PortlanI at
= 30 A. NJ, and arriving at The Dalles at
l P. NJ, is another accommodation one,
and will be great convenience to our
citizens. We are glad to note the fact
that the Union Pacific understands the
importance of this point. and intends to
retain its portion of the patronage of the
travelling public by every possible means.

When Charles Mathews was in this
country, the rapidity of his speech
was a cause of much astonishment,
but there was no loss of distinctness
on that account. He was said to be
the most rapid talker and singer on
the stage. Sarah Bernhardt talks at
q furious speed sometimes, but every
speech that is to be spoken fast is
practiced again and again, little
more quickly each time, in order to in
sure clearness of utterance.

An Italian Republic.

ROME, Nov. 27-In the highest and

known that the present dream of the
vatican is the establishment of federal

The experiment is tried. Officials them
selves are as much in the dark as any
one. If they should again refuse, the
situation would be Awkward, 1t is said
the intelligent Cinnamon generally did
not object to registration and really
looked upon it as a means of personal
protection, but the bulk of them would
be controlled by their employees now as
formerly. They do not, as a race, talk
kindly to having their photographs taken
for the purpose, but there is no reason
to suppose that this objection will long
stand in the way of compliance with the
law, if the Six Companies and their at
torneys be not obdurate.

of demoralizing the government. He

People who have lived long in hot

About Mutual Agreements.

There is a common agreement in
the inviolability of mutual engage
ments, but there seems to be pecu-
liar breach of honor when two people
have agreed to die together in one
failing to keep his appointment. This
not infrequently happens, and it has
been remarked, as in the case of Mrs.
Brundage and Mr.. Clute, that it is
the man who manages to keep his
footing in this world. The question
has arisen if on the mans part this
is prompted in the spirit in which a
man tells woman he is going to the
lodge, or to neighboring town, or
whether his failure to meet her OF ac-
company her is due to lack of cour-
age. This seems not only the most
plausible but the most credftable
answer.
1t is not human to run to embrace
death, but circumstances may make
it a familiar presence Every wom-
an who has filed her allotted place
in life has had at times to look death
deliberately in the face. Familiarity
with any situation divests it of its
terrors This is the reason why wom-
en- meet death with more composure
than do men. This by no means ex-
cuses men from fulfilling such en-
gagements as that of Mrs. Brundage
and Mr. Clute, in which the honor is
especially involved, but it explains
the detection of Mr.. Clute and men
of his nd.-Exchange.

Pine Smokers, Paradise.

In Washington a man may place
his good old brier pipe in his shapaly
mouth and walk around town smok-
ing according to the dictates of his
own conscience, none daring to make
him afraid. It is not so in all parts
of the country. There are places
where such conduct would bring him
under police surveillance and cause
him to be ostracized by society.
There has long been deep rooted
prejudice against the pipe A man
might appear in public smoking
cigar that would cause horses to
swoon three blocks away and nobody
would say anything, but if he smoked
a pipe on the streets his social doom
was sealed. Reason, however, has
resumed her majestic sway, leveled
the barriers of superstition and con-
quered the armed hosts of prejudice,
and as result the man who smokes
is happy. Washington News.
