Delightful Little Cu~tom Of the HeefS
ThSt Are Gone.
"Mothering SUNDAY" is the fourth
Sunday in Lent, and is often called
mid Lent Sunday The custom which
gave rise to the name. like many an
other delightful old custom has passed
away. and so the name has become Si-
most forgotten also
Isuppose you have all read stories OF
apprentices. young lads who were
''bound out as they called ii, 10 learn
q trade. or to work for some farmer for
q term of years
How would you like it. my oy-jast
home from spin on your aew "safe-
ty'-to be tied down 20 work day
after day, under master who was not
always easy to please, and who would
allow you only Sundays an occasional
day off, to go to see your mother.
And You, my dear girl. with your
happy home aud days brimful of enjoy
ment. what would you think OF q life
exactly opposite to yours?
For. in the days of long ago. as well
as in our own time, there were many
young girls who found il best TO leave
their homes and make their own way
in the world.
Would you not be glad Of an occa-
sional Sunday when you could array
yourself in all your bss; fnery. and go
to see your mother. taking care that
you wrapped your little present up
very carefully, SO that you could watch
her evident pleasure and surprise as
she united the string took of the
wrapper and brought to light the
treasure which you had Bought for her
with your very own earnings
That was "Mothering Sunday" the
fourth Sunday in Lent, when absent
sons and daughters-particularly the
young apprenticss-would return to
their homes with some little present
fer both parents, but more especially
for the mother. An ancient custom,
and delightful one. it seems to me.
Imagine the JOY of Peggy or Thomas.
the pride of the mother in the simple
gift, and the admiration of the small
brothers and sisters, who gathered
around and longed for the time when
they also would be out in the great I'M
known world and could cone 'a-moth-
ering."
Perhaps it was not an apprentice or
a serving maid, but some young house
keeper who would comefrom her own
home, and with most important air
would present her mother with some
pasties or a ''simner' of her own max
ing the simnel, or sinnel, was kind
of rich sweet cake offered as gift at
Christmas or Easter and especially on
'Mothering Sunday"
We may be sure that it was happy
time, and that the mother admired the
gift and praised the giver. and rejoiced
that her Thomas was such fine,
steady lad. or that Peggy was so strong
and rosy and loving.
In one of his poems Robert Herrick,
the early English poet. says:

slaim. Then came the reaction and ap-
plausc, and in that speech he changed the
opinion OF that able body of men so that
Its own plan was abandoned and his adopt
ed without dissenting voice
This achievement has been since spoken
of as one of the finest victories won in re-
cent years by the combined potency of rea-
SON and eloquence.
That the charm of eloquence is as strong
today as ever was made plain in another
impressive way in New York recently
Joseph H. Choate is one of the few adyo-
Gates who have national reputation for
elceuence, Wit and the highest oratorical
ability. He was retained as counsel in a
case in which Russell Sage was the defend
ant. The courtroom on the days of the
trial WAS crowded so that the judge was
compelled to order that no more be admit
ted. Yet great throng stood patiently in
the corridors, hoping that by some happy
chance they would have opportunity to
see and hear Mr. Choate
Upon the evening of one of the days of
this trial Mr.. Choate was announced as
one OF the speakers at n political gather
ing at Cooper Union. The people began
to come before the sun had set. In the
twilight great mass of them We're in the
streets Almost in a moment after the
doors were opened the great hail was fill
ed. and had it been twice as large it could
not have contained all who wished la hear
eloquence and to be brought under the
charm of such oratory as is Mr.. Choate' 5
gift.
He stood talking to them for 40 min
utcs. as it then seemed, like one friend
chatting with another, and not until the
echo of his words had died away and that
great crowd HAD scattered was the power
Of his magic spell fully appreciated When
1ngersoll speaks in New York. a thousand
faces are before him, and an Grafton by
Bourke Cochran is an event. Depew is an
nounced rs speaker, and men struggle for
places that they may hear him.
The wonder 10 men who are orators is
that others who might gain pre- minence
are not tempted TO cultivate the gifts ma
ture has bestowed on them.

been able to see or hear of the great Caro-.
lima wren in my county, though it passes
and abides both east and west of us. In
the farther east the Atlantic coast fur
nishes a similar guide, and the New Jersey
water front, perhaps on account Of the
sudden detection of the coast line there,
abounds in the spring with returning
birds
While birds thus avail themselves OF
these great landmarks there is ample evil
dence that they take short cuts to their
destination. The inland birds go and come
independent of coast line and river, and
all, when they strike the open sea, pass in
a very direct line to other land beyond.
Such aerial lanes or routes exist almost as
permanently as water lanes of ocean navi-
cation.
Due to Little Land Birds.
When Columbus was nearing America.
but knew it not, and his discouraged men
were almost in a state of mutiny, he sailed
into one of these bird streams. His men
were at once much encouraged. They
wished him to turn and follow the birds.
But he kept his course toward Florida.
Again he passed birdless region, but on
Oct. ran into another stream largely
made up of land birds. Again he ran oU:
of them. On the 9TH he ran into another
large fight bearing southwest, and he
was himself so impressed with this con
slant direction of flight thai he turned
and ran i'm their wake Thus perhaps he
cause he followed the birds he landed on
the Bahamas and never saw North Amer
lea, and it may be as true of cur country
as of Rome that bird flight affected her
destiny. Such was his position when he
changed his course that the Bahamas were
much nearer than the Florida coast, and
such was the temper at his crew that had
land not been sighted soon open rebellion
and immediate return might have prevail
ed and left our country for long while
yet undiscovered We should never have
seen in 1894 the magnificent show in Chi
cago perhaps if the little land birds from
our northeast coast had not cut far out
into the ocean in their southwark journey.
Wonders of Feathered Travellers.
Birds seem, like ships TO lay their paths
near islands. The southwest trend of these
lanes is explained by the probable fact that
they were passing from the Bermudas to
the Bahamas. a stretch of sea of 500 miles.
These lanes are there today, it is said, at
the fall migration. a glance at the map
should make us wonder why the feathered
travellers should leave a coast line that led
SO well in their direction and launch with
out chart OF compass out over the deep. A
similar case occurs in the southwark mi
grafton of the birds from northern Europe
The goal is Africa. The early part of the
trip might be made overland, yet they de-
feet out into the North sea and fairly flood
the little isle of Heligoland for a season.

Gently, named Kossuth among the great

NJ Depew, delivering q memorial Grafton
at the ceremonial in honor of Kossuth al
Cooper Union, New York, dwels with al
most reverent eloquence upon these pow
ers of the Hungarian patriot, intimat:ne
that it was due in great measure TO his
imprisoned appeals for the freedom OF
Hungary and her people that the patriot
gained his influence to mold his country
men to his view.
One OF tho ablest of American editors
himself speaker of no little charm, in de-
scribing kossuth's eioquence, said that it
caused him to think of John Randolph s
description of the oratorical powers OF
O'Connell, the Irish patriot and statesman.
Randolph said after hearing O'Connell,
This is the man, these are the lips the
most eloquent that speak English in my
day"
Mr.. Depew, being asked by a friend II
the day of such eioquence and oratorical
power as distinguished Kossuth had pass
ed, said that the day when the spoken
word would be supplanted by any other
form of persuasion would never come so
long as men and women are what they
now are. The press, instead of REFRESHING
both the power of oratory and the capacity
for public speaking of hign quality, as so
many have claimed, only whetted the de-
sire of Americans TO see and hear great
speakers.
A fine illustration of that assertion was
furnished by Mr. Depew's friend a day or
two after his chat with that great orator.
The newspapers of New York had for some
months discussed with much ability GER
tain plans for rapid transit system for
New York involving the expenditure of as
much as $50. 000 0G0. The chamber of com
mere, body composed Of some of the
most influential citizens of New York, had
reported certain resolution favoring this
plan. It was about TO take vote, which,
1t was believed, would be unanimous.
Abram s Hewitt sat in a remote corner
of the room. He looked with eyes that
seemed to have something of reproach in
them at the chairman of the chamber, but
he said nothing. At last the chairman
asked him to express his opinion. Mr..
Hewitt arose almost hesitatingly. He be-
gan in such low tones as distinguish
man who has what the orators call stage
fright. In few moments his voice be-
rame clear. His eyes became bright with
the earnestness of his convictions. He
spoke with eioquence yet using simple
words and few rhetorical embellishments.
The able men before him sat intent, some
leaning forward that they might catch
every word.
When he was done, 0lr. Hewitt had for
. moment the most impressive of tributes

which still heightens the mystery as to
