He was answered sooner than he had
expected, for while the exclamation
yet lowered on his lips Comfort rushed
in with clasped hands.

thing that belongs to you! Some gov
ernment bonds with your name on

Ben's letters?"
"Ben's letters, eh?" said the old man,
a slow smile breaking over his face.

"Father"-the girls head dropped on
his shoulder, the tears sparkled in her
eyes-"you know it all now. We love
each other. We shall be wretched UNI
less we can be united. Take back what
you said, father. Do not forbid us to
be happy, dear, dear father"
well, WELL" said Ralston, ready to
concede anything in the immense reliet

been well-nigh lost, have it your own

Sold Artificial Strawberries.

I'm a certain New York town." SAYS
a commercial traveller, Il once ran
across some artificial Strawberries,
which were sold by a local grocer.
After he had been selling them for a
week a rival grocer discovered hat 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 a 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 nodded the seed
stood out on the outside, just as those
in a 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 a
long time without detection. IN. Y.

LARGE SHOES FOR SUMMER.
Footwear Should Be a Size Larger in Hot
Weather Than In Cold.


Women who consider their rood
looks as well as their comfort always
wear shoes a size larger in summer
than in winter. The feet, in spring
weather especially, seem to respond to
the languor of the rest of the frame:
they are less elastic and less firm: they
expand in size because they are re-
Taxed in muscle. and they are causes of
genuine torture to the saleswomen be-
hind the counter as well as to the finely
dressed customer before it. 1t is a seri-
Gus mistake. then, to make your com
plexion muddy because of aching and
pinched feet.
In contrast to this is the woman who
delights to go barefoot, and who does,
in the seclusion of her dressing-room
and mushroom, kick off her slippers
and run about in what would be called
stocking feet" On coming from her
bath, with Turkish slippers on, this
genuine child Of nature will not have
her feet rubbed with a towel. She de-
lights in letting them dry naturally. as
the nearest approach to the barefoot
cure" of Germany-the walking over
dewy grass with barred feet-the near
est that she can attain to at hon, or in
town.
1t is a notion of some western doctors
that what they call ''water-tread" is
good for the nerves, which means a
foot-bath of not long duration, and then
no towel rubbing to follow. As the
season approaches for bathing expert
ments this may be tried without dan
ger.
In the meantime, the woman whose
winter size of shoe is 3LB is now
luxuriating in a AID. She has sensi-
bly, chosen a shoe that gives her the
same freedom of motion as though she
were barefoot. Shoemakers will tell
you, sometimes, that a too loose boot is
as bad for the foot as a too pinehing
one. That may be true of boots that
cover the entire foot, but it is not true
OF low shoes. Everybody owes it to
herself and the family to make herself
so bodily comfortable, in the spring of
the year, that shopping does not
fatigue and housekeeping does not
worry. Just let her order a pair of
walking shoes "a mile"-beg pardon, a
size-too large for her, and she will be-
gin to have the physical enjoyment of
her well-cared-for feet that nature in
tended her to have of every part of her
physique. Chicago Times

Not Too Near, Please.

The consciousness that a youth whose
necktie exactly matched his eyes in
shade awaited her coming in the front
parlor SEN the hot blood coursing
through her veins. Suddenly her brow
was darkened with a doubt.
Mamma" she called, petulantly. A
t~ired-looking lady with pale, wan
cheeks came and stood before the
maiden. ''Shall l wear my crinoline
down tonight, mammal
Eyes, my child, by all ear Hast
(the mothers hand fondly caressed the
golden cnrls) forgotten that thou par
tookest of onions tonight, and that too
great a degree of proximity oft tends to
disillusionment?'
The girl sighed regretfully, but the
exigencies of the occasion were appar-
ent to her mind.-Detroit Tribune.

GARDENING.
Delightful Recreations In the Land of
Flowers.

The principal purpose for a garden
in Japan is realistic, naturalistic; it
aims to initiate, and does not attempt
to improve actual landscapes. st is.
therefore, at once a picture and a poem.
perhaps even more a poem than a pic
ture. Sometimes, also, sermons may
be attempted and abstract. moral ideas,
such as charity, faith, piety, content,
calm and connubial bliss may be ex-
pressed in the beauties of nature.
Japan is a land of flowers, but it
maintains a nobility in floral as well as
social institutions. There are about a
dozen ''hana" which are reckoned
among frst-class; and even among
these feudal lords there are gradations.
Each has also its special meaning and
use. The twelve ''majores dii" of the
Japanese floral kingdom are the cherry,
chrysanthemum, cypress, bamboo.
lotus, maple, peony, pine, plum and
wisteria.
The bamboo is both useful and orna-
mental. It's many good qualities en-
der it exceedingly serviceable in manu-
featuring innumerable articles, both
small and great; and it's neatness and
simple beauty make it a IN N orna-
ment.
The cherry is the king of Japanese
flowers, and is, therefore, a~bundantly
cultivated. Both cherry and plum
trees are raised, not for their fruit, but
for their blossoms. The regulation
ornament for the New Year celebra-
ton is the triple combination of the
pine, bamboo, and plum (sho-chiku-
bail, with which may often be asso-
ciated representations of the stork and
the tortoise, all symbols of long life
The pine and the bamboo also make
up the main part of the ''kado-matsu,'
the outdoor New Years decorations
| which stand in front of the gateway O
the doorway of each house.
One simple but delightful recreation
of the Japanese is. in the proper sea
son, the cherry viewing" or the plum
viewing" which consists merely in go
ing to look at the cherry blossoms OIL
the plum blossoms when they have
reached full bloom. Chicago Tribune

Came Before the ..John Bull"

Capt. Jack" Lawson, one of the old
est residents Of Paducah, KY, and said
to be the pioneer locomotive engineer
of this country, denies that the John
Bull was the first locomotive in service
in America. He come from England
sixty-fve years ago, he declares, in
chargeofh locomotive which was des-
tined for use on a tramway between
Baltimore and Green Springs, a dis
tance of twelve miles. Capt. Lawson's
engine was called the Herald. After
many years of use it was retired from
active service and dismantled. Capt.
Lawson was a young mechanic who
had served an apprenticeship in one Of
the great English machine shops, and
was sent over to this country with the
Herald on account of his experience
with the then new business of railroad
ing.

SCHOOL AND CHURCH.

Canterbury cathedral is 51+ feet
long, so high and 154 broad; the choir
is $50 feet by 40. .
Many of the mediaval churches
were originally constructed to serve,
when occasion required, as fortresses.
There is a church at kirkwood, Ga,
owned by Presbyterians, with a Meth
odist pastor, and the seats were origin
ally owned by Baptists and donated by
Episcopalians.
The mel who comprise the crew
which will represent Yale at New Lon
don next spring have been selected and
are now rowing in the harbor both
morning and afternoon.
Mrs. Minnie Norton Caldwell, OF
the Broadway church in Louisville,
KY, has given to the Southern Baptist
Theological seminary, in that city, real
estate worth not less than SIS, OOO.-

The doors Of Delanare's college for
colored men have been closed some
weeks before the usual time this year
because the legislatures appropriation
of n thousand dollars is estimated in
sufficient for certain expenses it is de-
signed to meet for the next two years.
The college will, however, reopen in
the autumn.
The Johns Hopkins university is
making a fine exhibit at the Worlds
fair. The collection of scientific maps
and instruments and geological speci-
mems was exhibited to the students in
lowering hall before leaving for Chica-
go. President Gilman is very proud of
the showing that is being made by the
university in scientific results.
The Primitive Methodists of En-
gland are this year celebrating their
missionary jubilee. The celebration
has taken the practical form of a jubi-
lee fund, which, it is hoped, will
amount to ESQ, 900. This sum will be
used for the extension Of mission work
at home and abroad, the formation of a
chapel loan fund, the extension of the
college and the increase of the super
annuation fund.-Minneapolis Ensign.
Col. r. r. Mcmahon, of Washing
ton, offers to President Turner of the
West Virginia university a prize of S25
in gold for the student who shall write
the best article on the question:
What was Shakespeare's Religion?"
The competing students must have
spent not less than three years in the
university. A second prize of s25 in
gold is also to be given to the student
who on commencement day stands
highest in the military department of
the university.
OF the vexed question as to mis-
sionaries. Mr.. Selous' testimony is
clear. He has nothing but praise for
the Woodworking and interchangeable
missionaries who pioneer civilization in
Central Africa; and he expressly says
that the only natives whom he has
ever admired or respected were the
IONS of some of Khama's headmen,
who had been educated by Mr.. Mac
kenzie at Thurman. 1t is indeed diff
cult for such a slayer of animals not to
feel admiration for a man like Mr..
Sykes, who in 1859 established his mis-
sion station at Emhlangen in Matebele-
land, in the midst of rowing lions, who
used to come and drink every night at
a pool two hundred yards from his
doorstep, and whose most appreciated
pastoral duty was the driving of wild
elephants out of the cornfields of his
t1ock.-Review of Reviews.

ington society last winter knew a very
self-sufficient bachelor, who was a con-
