Mr.. Dandy was immensely struck
with the likeness said she. with an
icy air.
He saw it, did hep cried Mrs
Elliott, apparently much pleased.
But really everybody must, l think"
Then why don't you burn the

luckily prevented it's utterance by cry

Across the broad lawn, slowly COM

poor old man. and walked leaning on
stick.
Poor old chap, he doesn't get any
younger" l observed, chiefly in order
to cover Adelaide's frozen silence.
Mrs. Elliott put up her double
glasses and surveyed Uncle Georges
approaching figure. She took a long,
critical, exhaustive view of Uncle
George. Then she turned and looked
at me with some particularity.
'Well," she observed drawing a
long breath, talk about likenesses!"
l was inclined to implore her to
choose any other topic uuder heaven,
but could not do so while Adelaide

"Why, my dear Mr.. Dandy, it's al

Adelaide gave a short laugh. We

that unconscionable old lady, who had
her portrait painted with the express

my romantic dreams.
What did she want to be painted

reached the door which led into the
garden.
Adelaide said nothing at all. She

Welded AT TEN YEARS.
The Little King of Nepaul and His Bride
of Five Years.

The Little King of Nepaul and His Bride
of Five Years.
Everywhere in the east, and especial
ly in Hindustan and Nepaul, marriages
are made at a very early age. Parents
contract for the wedding of their chill
dren while they are yet but little boys
and girls, and neither the boy nor the
girl has any voice in the matter They
are simply coupled with all the cere-
mony and extravagant display that the
parents on both sides can afford, and
then the poor little things go back to
their homes, to be nursed and petted
and trained until they are old enough
to have a home of their own. Thus
this little king of Nepaul, the eighth
royal GhOorka who had come to the
throne, was married when he was ten
years old to a baby princess half his
age, chosen for him from one of the
royal families of northern India. Nor
did it ever occur to the prime minister,
or the priests, or the astrologers, or
the match-makers, that either the
bridegroom or the bride had anything
whatever to do with the business.
But the wedding was perfectly
splendid" A picturesque cOncourse of
Asiat;c guests, with n sprinkling of
European strangers, was gathered in
the pavilions and rotundas of the
palace; and there was profuse distri-
button of pretty souvenirs and gifts
among them. Everyone received some
thing-a nosegay of rare eastern
flowers embiematic of happiness and
joy, miniature phial of altar Of roses,
a little silver flask of delicate perfume,
dainty scarf or handkerchief
sprinlled with rose water, curious
fan, fantastic toy of ivory, lacquer
box And then came the little king
alone of course, for an oriental bride
must not be exposed to the public
gaze-borne on a silver litter curtained
in orange and purple satin, embroid-
cred with gold, and hung with massive
bullion fringe. Seated on a great
cushion of cloth of gold piled with
shawls of cashmere and canton, he was
borne around the rotunda, luminous
vision of flashing jewels, and a musical
murmur of tiny bells, from his plumed
helmet to his slippers.
And when he had made his royal
salaam, or salutatioI, to the guests and

Wasted Millions.

The Baltimore Baptist says that in
vestigations in that city show that 231s
per cent. of the destitution in that city
comes of intemperance, and 7619 per
cent. is not due to that cause-and re-
Dukes those who turn from the desti-
tute, on the plea that it is of their own
evil-doings. Well, we have 1000
saloons in Chicago. Those saloons can
not be run for less than an average Of
500 per month. The rent takes two
thirds of that and the tax the rest.
Now allow what you like fox the sup
port of the saloonkeeper and his fam
lily, say $780, There is $1,000 average
profit that the saloon must earn. How
much for the wholesale cost of the
liquors? Say $500. Now we have ST.
500, to be multiplied by 1000, the num-
ber of the saloons-$17, 500, 900. That
would give dollar day for year to
over $4,000 men. Destitution! Well,
of course, there is destitution. - In

Wonderful Philadelphia Girl.

Though only five and half years
old, Edna Grace Hahn, of Philadelphia,
with her tiny fingers can bring thirty
different airs out of a piano. She has
learned them all in the last month. If
a key, invisible to her, be struck she
can Immediately sound the correspond
ing key Of another piano. Let the en-
tire keyboard be covered with cloth
not too heavy to muffle the sound-and
she still makes good music by striking
keys which she cannot see. Her first
stroke on the unseen ivory may be a
mistake, but in moment she hits the
right key, and then goes ahead without
making an error. She cannot read
music or words, but thoroughly under
stands the scale, quickly distinguishes
half-notes and keeps good time. If she
hears strange air two or three times
she can make her piano reproduce it.

God and her own soul will ever know.
We have seen genius from it's loftiest
flights descend into the lowest depths
OF misery and wretchedness because OF
lntemperance; we have seen the strong
est 1ntellects shattered until all their
brightness and power were gone for
ever; we have seen the tongue of elo-
quence palsied IN it's utterances until it
gave forth only the chickering's of an
idiot; we have seen the light IN the
poets brain go out in darkness that
was hopeless; we have seen the strength
and buoyancy of youth stricken with
the feebleness of old age; we have
seen the strength of manhood
turned into brutishness, and the fair
flowers of womanhood stained and
crushed until they were but scentless,
wlthered things trodden under foot Of
man; we have seen the picture of every
village in our land marred by the un-
slightly blots which intemperance has
placed there: we have seen our land, SO
broad in extent, so beautiful to look
upon, filled with humiliation because
Of the drunkenness of those who should
have been her pride and glory; we have
seen poverty exchanged for riches,
sickness for health, death for life,
curses for blessing: and wherever we
have seen these evils of intemperance
womans head has bowed in the dust,
a woman's heart been bruised and
bleeding, woman's hopes blasted, a
woman's soul filled with despair

Monkey and Goose Contests.

Combats between animals of differ
ent species are a source of great amuse-
ment among the Javanese. One of the
most popular contests is that between
monkey and goose. The monkey is tied
to one of the goose's legs, by means OF
a cord, and both animals are set down
near the bank of q river, or pond. The
goose, standing in dread of the
monkey, seeks for safety in the water,
and the monkey, afraid of the water,
exerts himself to the uttermost not to
be drawn into it. AS rule, the goose
draws the monkey into the water, and
then the cunning simian sits astride
the goose, in equestrian fashion. The
goose then tries to dive, and the
monkey prevents her if he can; and so
the fight goes on until the spectators
tire. and the animals are released from
an uncongenial companionship.

off to meet Uncle George, leaving
Adelaide and me standing together.
"Do-do you see it?" l asked, after
long pause
Adelaide is girl of spirit. She an
swered incisively:
''Have l eyes, Mr.. Danby?" And she
has very fine ones.
Receiving this answer, I fell again
to studying Uncle George, who stood
leaning on his stick, talking to Mrs.
Elliott.

means unprepossessing in appearance, >"

tiny.
"Oh, poor old man. How he sutfers!"

ceded Adelaide.

"Oh, can't imagine it!'' cried Ade-
laide.
Cant you?" | asked.
NO. | can't" said she, with mighty
determination.
But suppose he had met her when
she was yOung-and like yOu?"
"Oh, she wouldn't have looked at

had been young also, and
Like you?" asked Adelaide, with

"I-I don't know" murmured Ade-

"Rather-rather stout and-and-"

POVERTY AND LIQUOR.
Relation of the Saloon to tho Poor of the
Large Cities.

Large CltIeS.
Commissioner of Labor Carroll d.
Wright lately forwarded to the presi-
dent the results of his Investigations,
ordered by congress, of the slum dis
tricts of New York, Philadelphia, Bal
timore and Chicago. Two points have
a most important relation. In the first
he shows where saloons thrive:
''In the city of New York there was,
at the time of the investigati ation, one
liquor saloon to every 200 PERSONS but
in the slum district canvassed there
was one saloon to every 129 persons.
In Philadelphia, in the city at large,
there was one saloon to every $40 per.
canvassed there was one such sa-
loon to every 5O2 persons. In
Baltimore, in the city at large,
there was one saloon to every
228 persons, but in the slum district
canvassed there was one saloon to
every 100 persons. In Chicago, in the
city at large, there was one saloon to
every 212 persons, while in the district
canvassed there was one saloon to
every 127 persons. In these calcula.
tions fractions have been dropped"
Farther along he says of earnings"
''The earnings of the people living in
the slum districts canvassed are quite
up to the average of the people gener-
ally and at large, but as there are no
data with which to make comparisons
of average earnings the results of this
Investigation must n rcSlcaiiy ssS77ar1I1d
alone; yet from all that can be learned
from various sources the statement
made is believed to be correct"
From which the inference is plain
abolish the saloon and the poverty OF
the slum will disappear

Twenty times day, dear,
Twenty times day
Your mother thinks about you,
AT school. or else at play.
She's busy in the kitchen.
Or she's busy up the stair.
But like song her heart within
Her love for you is there.
There's just little thing, dear.
She wishes you to Go.
I'll whisper. 'tis secret,
Now mind, tell it you.
Twenty times day, dear,
And more, I've heard you say,
I'm coming in minute"
When you should at once obey
At once, as soldiers, instant,
At the motion Of commands;
At once, as sailors, seeing
The captains warning hand.
You could make the mother happy
By minding in this way,
