Faith is one of the sublimest attrib-

the present and the future would be
filled with darkness. Our faith may
be based on that which is not true but
be that as it may it is the one cheering
consolation throughout life and what
ever our faith may be, SO long as it is
honest, it is sacred to us and should be

TOLD BY A PHOTOGRAPHER.

This is photographers story:
about year ago young man en-
ployed in railorad Office came in and
had his picture taken. About the
same time beautiful young woman
from an interior town came in and
had hers taken also; both left the order
desiring me to send them to their adj
dresses as soon as finished In the
book my clerk put the initial of the
first name and wrote the surname in
full. 1t happened both had the same
last name; the young mans name was
John H and the young womans'
Julia H. When the pictures were
mailed there was mistake. the young
man getting the young woman's pic
lures. and vice versa. Now, out of
this incident quite love affair has
grown, the young people having fallen
in love with one another at sight of the
pictures. They correspondent for sew
eral months. Some time ago the young
man bought solitaire diamond ring,
and now he has ordered his wedding
suit. That is what ] call first-class
romance. The best of it all is that the
couple are we'll suited in every respect
and both are of good families. -

Every possible care must be exercised
in picking apples, for here the greater
damage is done. A bruise, be it ever
so small, will cause rot. The stem
should also be left on the fruit, for
pulled off roughly, piece of the apple,
goes with it, inf1icting an injury more
than a bruise. Such fruit under no
condition should be put among the
sound and for that reason experienced
packers only should do the work. The
fruit should be placed carefully in the
basket by the hand An experienced
hand will quickly select the right size

ward in the center of the paper, give a
twist and pack at once. Packing
should be done very carefully, because
very much depends upon it. If the
fruit is packed too tight it will bruise,
if too loose it will shift in the case dur
ing transit, and get bruised by contact
with case and fruit. For this reason
pack from the side of the case, because
there is wider surface to work upon
and less depth. The only objection to
this mode of packing is that it is more
difficult to nail down case with it's
side open. When the case is packed
the top layer should be about half an
inch above the edge of the case and
should be absolutely level ON top. be-
cause if one is higher than the rest that
one will have extra pressure from the
lid, get bruised and cause decay of the
whole case. The fruit should be pressed !
down by well-padded board, enough |
to allow the lid to go on comfortably,
or rather in such way that it holds
the apples firm and not too firm.

LIFE AT KISSINGEN.

she goes on. "Our room opens on a
balcony over the 'Garten, where at 6
O'Clock in the morning the orchestra
begins to play devotional hymn. Its
strains float through the open windows
with cadence like the breath of a
prayer. This begins the day. In a
few minutes the Garten is transformed,
filled with persons walking, sitting,
drinking the waters, listening to the
music, which alternates lovely waltzes
with tender airs from Lohengrin or
some other opera. The flower stands
have sprung up since last night and
are largely patronized. All is gaiety
and brightness and pleasant hustle,

though not actually sick, keep below

Fam of the opinion that fasting during
the long interval between supper and
breakfast, and especially the complete
emptiness of the stomach during sleep,
adds greatly to the amount of emacia-
ton, sleeplessness and general weak
ness we so often meet. Physiology
teaches that in the body there is a per-
petual disintegration of tissue, sleeping
or waking; it is, therefore, logical to
believe that the supply of nourishment
should be somewhat continuous, espec-
tally in those who are below par, if we
would counterfeit their emaciation and
lower degree of vitality; and as bodily
exercise is suspended during sleep, with
wear and tear correspondingly dimin-
ished, while digestion, assimilation and
nutritlve activity continue as usual, |
the food furnished during this period
adds more than is destroyed, and in
creased weight and improved general
vigor are the results.

THE OLD LADY.

A picturesque figure is passing out
of society, if she has not already
passed. We seldom. in the drawing
room, meet the old lady. At this
moment she is to be found chiefly in
villages remote from any railway. or,
if in town, she is apt to belong to the
distinctly poorer classes, and to be en-
gagged in some humble occupation, as.
for example, the keeping of an apple
stand, or the selling of newspapers
around the ferries or elevated stations.
Thus engaged, she wears distinctive
dress, almost a uniform. 1t consists
of gown of some very dark OF neutral
tint, with a straight full skirt ending
at her ankles, round waist, no drap-
cry or pulled sleeves, but severely plain
and rather short ones, leaving the wrist
free; little three cornered shawl over
the shoulders always that - and
hood or bonnet protecting the gray
hair.
These old women are frankly old.
They seem to have lived hundred
years, and never to have been young.
Their old faces are crisscrossed like
maps with innumerable fine lines;
they bear themselves with certain
patience and dignity.
But they are not in society. They
are part of the world outside, which
does not exist for the sheltered and
guarded and well-to-do. They are
like the peasants in French pictures, as
straightforward, as childlike, as inno-
cent, as calmly Indifferent to fashion.
What have they to do with it? What
has it to do with them?
In the strenuous struggle to retain
youth or the semblance of it, which
is the foible and weakness of our
period, the old lady has difficult time
of it Just now. The masseuse labors
to efface her wrinkles, those time-re-
vealing marks, which, bravely worn,
have beauty of their own. She tries
creams and unguents, hot water and
cold water, galvanlsm and steam. that
her skin may remain as soft, as rose
hued. as flexible as it was at twenty.
In this there is no harm, but, did she
only know it, there are placid old faces
among the Friends, and among the
Shakers, too, which have kept off
wrinkles and retained shape and
smoothness solely by the spirits in
ward light. and peace and help.-Har-

A CURIOUS SPRING.
It Has Two Inlets but No Known OutI
for the Water.

1t Has Two Inlets but No Known Outlet
for the Water.
Just outside of Joy, N. Y, in Wayne
county, is spring which is undoubt-
edly unlike any other in the world in
that it has no outlet, but has two in
lets. Springs are usually the sources
of streams. This one is just the oppo-
site. One rivulet flows from the south
and discharges it's waters into the
spring, and another little creek comes
from the north and empties into it.
The latter stream is as clear as crystal.
The one that comes from the south has
water nearly as black as ink. This
curious stream never freezes. The other
one is the first water in all this region
to freeze.
Another singular thing about this
spring is that water boils up from the
sand that forms its bed. The spring is
only two feet wide and three feet deep,
but force pump worked steadily and
rapidly in it for hours has failed to de.
crease its water supply in the slightest
degree. The mystery is, what b comes
of the water OF the stream? Fed by
two streams and from an und ,roround
source and with no outlet, this spring
has been an ineXplicable thing frori
the time the original settlers reached
that part OF the lake eountry.-N. Y.
