"He's such nice gentleman, Mar
geret, please" he said. 81 thiuk it
my duty to cheer him up. He's ill.
''Let me have a look at ''im," th'
Irish woman returned, taking he
hands out of the suds.
She peered from behind the dotted
muslin curtains of the fiftl
fiat at the haggard, wistful face anG
gave an Irish blessing upon all 'sowls. ;
"Ye're not going to call upon the
grand gintlemen with no buttons fas-
tened on your shoes, says, 1. Its the
good little pants and the fine new shoes
will ye wear to honor him in," she
said excitedly.
"Will mama care?" the little voice
asked wistfully.
"I'm thinkin' she will an she won't
the Irish woman muttered to herself.
Herbig red hands were nervous, but
she moved them briskly, and soon had
the boy dressed in the dainty little
garments in which his mother loved
to make him beautiful. Then she took
him across the street, and made an in
quiry or two of the boy in in hall Of
opposite house.
He's been sick a good while, but
he' gitten' better. He's been into
some o. them counties where they've
been ightin wild niggers an it jest
about killed him. He's settin' up now.
Did he call the kid over? All right.
I'll take him up"
Wilbur took his hand trustingly,
followed him into the elevator. They
had no elevator in their house. Mar
garet followed too. She stood inside
the Car and heard the door open and
shut. Her hands were clasped. Then
she went home.
AT dinner time wild looking young
woman burst into her kitchen.
"Where is my baby?" Mrs. Clint
asked, looking abont.
"Willy? Well now, it's beggin'
your pardon, miss, but some elegant
people who lives acrost the avenoo, in
the fift' fiat up, has enticed the child
over to 'em, an took him over me-
self. I'd go after i'm this minute, miss
but it's my old mans supper would
burn"
''I'l 60. What are their names? You |
must never, never do such thing
lgain!n
Mrs. Clint hurried across the street,
iivided between anger and good feel
ng toward these people who had taken
fancy to her boy. She didn't stop to
ook at names. She walked into the
Elevator and asked to be taken to the
ifth floor. she knew there was only
me flat whose entrance was here.
Inside she heard voices, her boys
'oice. She rang the bell, and there
vas the sound Of his little feet running
agerly across the floor. He was so
ond Of opening the door for their own
lfrequent visitors that he was doing
for these people.
Ihe door was flung open, and in the
ght of an open fire she saw. past the
hid, pale, sick, wistful face that
he knew.
MARY" he said, won't you let
Wilbur bring you in"

A Jamaica Conrregation.

In pours the black portion of the con-
gregation. 1t is composed for the most
part of women. They are gorgeously
arrayed in silks and cottons OF the most
bewildering brilliancy, with golden bee
hive shaped ornaments in their ears and
twists of gold about their necks, and all
are beaming and smiling with the ut
most complacency and self satisfaction.
With great many of them the first
duty is to take of their boots or shoes.
Small wonder, for half of them are in
the habit of trudging 30 or 80 miles a
day barefooted to and from market,
and the other half, if they do not use
their feet so hardly, at any rate never
confne them.
Poor or wanting in proper pride in
deed must be that woman who cannot
raise a pair of boots or shoes for Sunday
use! 1t means agony, you may conceive,
to keep pinched up in stiff leather pair
of feet used to free, untrammeled move
ment. but it has to be borne. and it is
borne-for few minutes. 1t is man
aged thus: On the road to church halt
is made at about 200 yards distance
from the building for the purpose of put
ting on the boots or shoes, which have
been hitherto held in the hands. Church
is then hobbled into and the boots or
shoes taken off, to be again put on as
the serylce draws to close. Church is
then hobbIed out of, and at respecta-
BILE distance from it the instruments Of
torture are again got rid of, not to be
put on again for week.-All the Year

GRAINS OF GOLD.

If we believe right we viii seek right.
Toreach the highest begin at the lowest.
The public is wiser than the wisest
critic.
Tyranny and anarchy are never far
asunder.
The greatest homage We can pay to
truth is TO use it.
Speak plainly; act decisively; out of
doubt out of controversy.
Simplicity of character is the natural
result of profound thought.
If money could buy salvation, gold
would always be at premium.
When we are willing to do we shall be
surprised at how much we can do.
One of the first elements in every sue
cess is the determination TO succeed.
Society is built upon trust, and trnst
upon confidence in one anOther's integ-
rity.
Too much sensibility creates unhap-
ness; too much insensibility leads to
crime.
Life is energy of love, divine or hu-
man, exercised in pain, in strife and
tribulation.
Mutability of temper and inconsisten-
cy with ourselves is the great weakness
of human nature.
Irnpoliteness is mostly derived from
two sources s-indifference to the divine
and contempt for the human.
There is scarcely any popular tenet
more erroneous than that which holds
that when time is slow life is dull.
No human being can come into this
world without increasing or diminishing
the sum total of human happiness.
There are thousands of people who
will work like beavers in the church if
they can only do it in the front window.
Aim to be happy five minutes at a
time, and you will be surprised to find
how easy it will come to rejoice all day.

The early traditions concerning thu
city Of Damascus are curious and inter.
esting, even though untrustworthy and
contradictory. By some Of the ancient
writers it was maintained that the city
stands on or near the site of the garden
Of Eden, and just outside there is a
beautiful meadow of red earth from
which, it is said, God took the material
from which he created Adam. This
field is called Ager Damascenus, and
near its center there formerly stood a
pillar which was said to mark the pre-
else sp.t where cur first parent was Gre
ated. A few miles out there Is an emf
nence called the Mountain of Abel, sup
posed by some to be the place where the
first two brothers offered their sacri-
fees, also the spot where the first muir
der was committed. The most interest
ing spot pointed out, however, is about
three leagues from the city, where an
old ruin is shown which all the orient
believe to be the tomb of Cain. The
traditions respecting this famous spot
are known to antedate the Christian era
by several hundred years. Up to the
time ct Vespasian the interior of the
tomb is said to have been lighted and
warmed by one Of the lever burning"
lamps so commonly used by the an
cients,-St. Louis Republic,

Ruskin,s nIethodicalness.

Never has a man been more method
ical in his work than Professor Ruskin,
nor more precise in obedience to the
rules he has laid down for his guidance,
His working hours have always been
from Z in the morning until noon, and
on no account whatever would be ex-
ceed the limit. Within those FIVE daily
hours has all his work been produced
books, lectures and business, public and
private correspondence. Work in the
afternoon has always been by himself
forbidden, unless it took the form of
reading. His earlier works, of course,
were written at Herne or at Denmark
Hill or while on a tour on the CONT
nent. His later ones have been wrought
in great part at the flower decked table
OF his study, overlooking Coniston lake.
A wonderful room, that long study of
his, with his Turner's upon the walls
and ranged in ranks in the great Turner
cabinet upon the floor, with its book
cases of wonderful missals and manu-
scripts and early black letter books and
the original manuscripts of half dozen
of Scott's novels, with its superb Lucca
della Robbia Virgin and Child" over
the fireplace at one end and the mineral
cabinet at the other. With what pleas

A distinguished English scientist, Mr..
William Klnnear, in magazine article
insists that the secret Of perennial youth
is to be found in the use Of distilled
water and phosphoric acid. He says
that death, or disease that produces
death. is caused by the deposit in the
human system of calcaIeous or earthly
matter, and that the drinking of dis
titled water, which is itself great dis
solvent, and the use also Of from 10 to
10 drops of diluted phosphoric acid in
each tumblerful of water will remove
such deposits and prolong human life
to the very latest limit. In several of
the great hotels in New York distilled
water is provided at the table and for
the use Of the guests in their rooms, and
the advel tisement of this fact attracts
many patrons.-Detroit Free Press.

African pisannointments.

As continent Africa is the home of
q vigorous race of mankind, which,
while resisting assimilation with Euro
pean civilization, defies permanent con-
quest. European travellers, traders, mis-
sionaries, conquerors, may at their will
and at their peril penetrate into this
dark sanctuary, but their sojourn is for
day, and OH the morrow the faint
traces of their passage are obliterated
by the exuberant growths of barbarism.
Grudgingly as it Is sometimes conceded,
it is nevertheless fact that the bulk of
the continent of Africa is still untouched
by western civilization. for one can
not believe that Africa will ever be
Europeanized or Brought within the
pale of western progress, for in order
that Africa may progress it is absolute
ly essential that it be developed along
natural lines, but as yet the inherent
powers of native genius have neither
been discovered, nor in the absence of
any cohesion among native tribes and in
view of European rapacity are they,
even if discovered, ever likely to be en-
couraged or foste1ed. No; Africa is a
continent fated to be conquered and ex
plotted by the heirs Of civilization, to
whom it may pay tribute, but homage
neveI.-Nineteenth Century.

Snow is sometimes found in polar and
Alpine regions, where it lies unmelted
from year to year and the annual fall
is small, colored red by the presence OF
innumerable small red plants. In its
native state the plant consists of bril-
liant red globules on gelatinous mass.
Red snow was observed by the ancients,
a passage in Aristotle referring to it,
but it attracted little or no attention
until 1860, when Sanssure observed it
in the Alps and concluded that it was
due to the pollen of plant. 1t was
also noticed by the arctic expedition

Wanted n Good Foot,

Models are an important part of q
sculptor's need. doubt whether in this
particular we differ from our Greek
predecessors, for we read Of choice pres
ents, such as peacocks, given by Phidias
to his models, showing how much he
valued them, presumably because it was
as difficult then as now to get good ones.
To be model is business of itself.
and when we remember the number of
art schools there are. even In London
alone, and the many artists who are en-
tirely dependent upon them. 1t may be
realized what large body they must be.
The men are mostly Italians, chiefly,
am told, from the neighborhood of
Naples. The women are, as rule, Eng

Of the foot of an Indian woman that

Our English models lack often the
suppleness of figure that distinguishes
more southern races, such as the Italian,
which is partly accounted for by the
heavy, cumbersome clothes cur climate
necessitstes. But such as they are we
have to make the best of them, and a
really good one is eagerly sought after.

Heavily insured nIonarchs.

The crowned heads of Europe seem to
take a great deal of stock in life insur.
ance. 1t is announced that the king Of
Portugal has just taken out $200, ,00C
policy on his life, but that is an insig-
nificant investment compared with those
of some of the other potentates. The
late Emperor Frederick of Germany was
insured for S4,OO0,000. The queen re-
gent of Spain has her life insured for a
large amount in behalf of her two little
daughters, following the example of her
husband, whose death mulcted the vari-
Gus companies in which he was insured
for s., 100000
King Leopold of Belgium's life is heav-
lily insured, as is also that of Queen Vic
toria. The queens husband, the late
prince consort, was insured for close up
on $1,000, 900, the income of which has
been enjoyed by his widow. About the
only sovereign in Europe who is not in
sured is the czar of Russia, the companies
regarding him as too unsafe risk on ac-
count of the nihilists.-Boston Herald.

THE MYSTERY EXPLAINED.

Frank Hatton Reviews In Facetious Style
Senator Morgan's Hawaiian Report
Some day, in the sweet by and by per-
haps, we shall know exactly what Sena-
tor Morgan's report on the Hawaiian in
vestigation +, lily means. We shall know
whether iI is intended as manly dem
onstration of American sentiment or a
suave and servile whitewashing of dis
creditable blunder-whetherit 1t is shrek
of the noble bird of freedom or the still
small warble of the lowly cuckoo.
For the present we are able to disen-
tangle from the bewildering labyrinth OF
its language one isolated fact of mo-
ment-the fact that Mr.. Morgan and a
majority of the committee with him be-
ieve in the annexation of the islands.
Out of that wild and tossing sea OF rhet-
oric we have succeeded in snatching
this lonely derelict. But all the rest Of
it is enveloped in tender haze of volu-
bility, which, while it accomplishes won
ders in the way Of stimulating guess
work, is valueless as guide to definite
conclusions. The utterance appears to

standings and moreovers, and there is in
it an opulence of ''if so, why notp pro-
fundity that battles exact analysis.
According to this astonishing docu-
ment, everybody connected with the
Hawaiian incident behaved like states
man, scholar, hero and patriot.
Mr. Stevens was correct, and so was Mr..
Blount. President Dole is great man
on the right track. and Liliuokslsni q
perfect lady, if somewhat in distress.
The United States authorities acted
wisely in recognizing the queens down.
fall, and the administration has kept
well within its lawful powers in trying
to set her up again. In word, the re-
port furnishes a common ground upon
which all men may meet and where all
sorts of opinions can find encourage
ment and sympathy.
As we say, there is just one downright
proposition to which the bewildered citi-
zen may cling, and that is the clear, un
equiyocal and unmitigated declaration
by seven out of the nine parties to the
report that they favor the annexation of
Hawaii by the United States.-Washing-
ton Post
