Sister Therese, who mas lately died in
Montreal, was one Of the most noted
women in Canada. She was one of t1e
two nuns who, in the endeavor to relieve
the. spiritual and temporal wants of the
Indians in the far west, went in 1859 ON
horseback nearly to the Pacific coast,
where no white woman had ever been
before. In 1857 she founded an asylum
at valparaiso for abandoned children,
ana IN 1866 she was brought back to
Montreal and made general treasurer Of
her order. She laid the foundations of
the great insane asylum that was de-
stroyed by fire last year, and she was,
until her death. mother superior of this
establishment. She possessed remark
able power over violent PATIENTS Har-

In order to emphasize the importance OF
the cultivation of the soil and to encourage
his subjects to follow agricultural pursuits,
the emperor of China sometimes performs
certain rites at the ''emperor's field" and
goes through the form ofplowing and other
work of the husbandman. One day recent
ly the emperor set out at daybreak from
his palace with numerous and magnif
cent train of courtiers and others. Before
breakfast the emperor arrived at the shrines
OF the deity presiding over agriculture, and
his majesty stopped to offer up his thanks
giving and sacrifices. After changing his
dress, the morning repast was served, at the
end of which the emperor proceeded to the
field, at the four corners Of which were
erected four pavilions, where the seeds Of
wheat and other cereals were placed.
In the center were numbers of magnif-
Gently attired courtiers, each holding aloft
many colored flag, while on the side OF
the passage were scores of aged and white
haired farmers, each having in his hand
some agricultural implement. Placing his
left hand on the pillow and holding the whip
In his right hand, the emperor began the
ceremony of the occasion. By prearrange-
ment the officers did their allotted share,
some welding the agricultural implements,
while others scattered seeds out of the
baskets as if sowing, while the emperor
was busted with the pillow, which was
hitched to richly caparisoned bullock
draped in yellow and led by two of the en-
peror's bodyguards. On the emperor fin
ishing his round at the pillow the three
princes were ordered togo through the per-
Torrance, and after them nine high court
iers had their turn.-Pall Mall Budget.

Decentralization.

That strain of morbidity in the Puritan
conscience which supplied Hawthorne with
motives is curiously active today in the
descendants Of some of the old Puritan
families. There is one family in which it
has persisted in manner as tragic as it is
interesting. The father, in the days when
men made income tax returns, used to put
his in, withdraw it, file it again and per
haps again withdraw it, tortured lest he
had not been scrupulously honest. This
excess Of conscience preyed upon his health
and he finally shot himself
When his three boys grew up they went
to their grandfather and asked him not to
leave them any more money, but to give it
to their nieces and cousins who had not Sc
much as themselves. In one of these boys,
good and lovable both in character and
person, early developed the morbid con-
science. 1t took the form of remorse at the
numbers of insects he must have killed.
Such destroyer of life had no right to live,
he argued. He was fond of riding, and kept
several horses.
Finally he gave up riding lest his horse
might step on and crush beetle. Even this
precaution did not allay his sense of guilt,
and he at last shot himself.
His brother, the possessor of splendid
fortune, devotes his life to teaching, not for
money, but in the hope of impressing
young boys with the sense of the impor.
lance of becoming upright citizens.-New
York Evening Sun.

Instead of an Eiffel towero Ferris wheel,
II is proposed to have at Antwerp verita-
BILE castle in the air, the conception of an
engineer named Tobiansky. Il will be con-
structed of steel and bamboo tubing, COW
cred with silk and sheet iron, and will be
90 feet long and have floor space of 900
square feet. 1t will be suspended from a
captive balloon at height varying from
900 to 1900 feet, according to the strength
of the wind. The weight Of the entire
structure, including the balloon and all ac-
cessories, with that Of $50 persons, will be
about 16 tons, and it can be lowered to the
ground in about 80 minutes.
The balloon will be anchored to the earth
by four great vertical cables, and large
number of guy ropes are relied on to pre-
vent it's escaping from control. 1t will
consist of two hemispheres of triple silk,
divided into three cylindrical compart-
mentss It's surface measurement will be
9,311 square meters and its volume 74,079
cubic meters.
The balloon elevators, each capable of ac-
commodating 10 or Is persons, will connect
the air castle with the ground. From the
dizzy elevation ordinarily maintained hun
dreds OF miles of the fiat Belgian country
can be seen, and thousands of electric lights
will gayly scintillate from the balloon as it
hoyers amid the clouds by night. Compe.

hazard will be an inducement rather than

Mile. Sale was, in the last century, the
most accomplished and fascinating balle-
teuse at the French opera house. In adj
dition toher other qualifications she played
and sang'with extraordinary artistic skill
and depth OF expression, She once confided
to Rameau, the famous musician, that her
ardent wish was to be able to compose, and
asked him to give her few lessons in the
art. Nothing easier in the world" Ra-
meau CALAMITY replied. He handed her o
sheet of paper ruled for music and asked
her to take her valuable breastpin and
prick holes in the lines wherever she
thought proper,
After the lady had completed her task,
Rameau took the sheet of paper, turned
each puncture into note, determined its
length, selected suitable key and the
thing was done. This remarkable compo-
sition turned out lively piece of dance
music, which was afterward entitled. Les
Sauvages dams les Indies galantes," and
was popular in France for great number
Of years.-Landbote.

The craze for publicity is eminently the
vice OF the present day-the day Of unrest
and feverish disinclination to live In the
quiet shadow Of home rather than in the
blazing glare Of publicity. This trumpet
bi0wfnz in one form and now -ia- an
other, Is emphatically one Of the signs of
the times. 1t will pass, however, as all
things have passed In their order, and we
shall go back some day to quieter and
stiller and more intrinsically modest order
of things. There are a few people left by
whom the craze for publicity and trumpet
blowing Is despised These, and such as
these, are content to be and to do without
boast and without the vulgar applause OF
many. The love of the few and the respect
Of all who know them-the mild radiance
Of their lives. shedding goodness and
beauty in their own spheres-this Is the
sum cf their desire for notoriety.
In time Of universal trumpet blowing
to come upon silent, quiet reality; to come
upon beauty unrecorded In the daily pa
pers; love that brings no golden gain;
merit that has no public market; festivi-
ties that have no vulgar, brazen trumpet
blown-what happinessiw refreshments
1t reconciles us to the lest to think that
such lovely lives are still to be found; that
although so much pinchbeck exists, we
have yet nuggets of gold, and with univer-
sal trumpet blowing elsewhere, here, at
least, is the sweet melody of hidden, soft
and sacred music. Once a Week.

The Man He Needed,

An eccentric man was Captain King
governor of an Australian colony. A set.
tier once waited on Governor King to ask
for the loan of prisoner to help him in
shingling his house.
Come to me in six weeks, when harvest
is over" said the governor, land will
find a man for you"
At the end of that period the settler
whose reputation for laziness was well
established, again presented himself.
Have you shingled your housei" asked
the governor
"Oh, dear, no! I've been waiting fol
help"
well, go into that room and you will
see your man,"
Presently the settler returned saying he
could find no man, although he had looked
all over the room, even under the table
and behind the sofa.
mot find himp' said the governor
''How can that bei Come along with me
and I'll soon find him for you"
Governor King led the man up to the
large mirror over the mantelpiece.
There's the man to single your house, )
said he. Take him with you, quick, and
see that he does itp'-"The Convict King. ;

In Eighth avenue there is recruiting Of
fee for the United States army. In front
Of the premises during business hours Is
stationed an orderly whose erect figure,
bright new uniform and fine soldierly bear
ing are well calculated to make favorable
impression ON the minds of disconnected
young men who may be taken with a sud-
den impulse to enter the service of their
country. On the streets in the neighbor-
hood there are generally to be seen two or
three robust and well fed young men in
the uniform of privates lounging about in
o contented sort of way, from whose leisure
ly manner it might easily be inferred that,
in time Of peace at least, the soldiers lot
was quite happy one.
"The whole scheme is slick one," was
the remark of an ex-private who only few
weeks ago received an honorable discharge
from the regular army after six years of
service in the west. 1.-THE whole scheme
Is slick one" he repeated, land it catches
lots of fellows who are just as fresh and
green as / was when enlisted in Philadel-
phia nearly six years ago. Young fellows
who are out of work or who are dissatisfied
with their positions, or who are in desper-
ate frame of mind after spree, or who
are unhappy in their love affairs, acciden-
tally run across these recruiting officers, and
.ae iiiea suddenly pops into their heads
that it would be mighty nice thing to
join the army and thus run away from their
troubles
"They see the orderly and the privates in
their neat bright uniforms, with apparently
nothing in the world to do but keep their
shoes and clothes well brushed, and what
was at first merely a vagrant notion be-
comes determined resolution. They APP
ply for enlistment, pass the necessary ex-
animation and almost before they are aware
of it have surrendered a large share of their
personal freedom and become subjects of
military discipline. But the natty orderly
ON duty in front of the recruiting office and
the well fed privates on the streets near by
what of them, you ask Why, they run
the scheme l. spoke of in the first place.
Uncle Sam is the shrewdest advertiser in
the business. He places those fellows wear
ing new uniforms on view to advertise
what royal, free for all picnic he has in
store for those who join the regular army"

A distinguished Englishman, the Duke
