THE TRADES UNION.

During the Episcopal Church congress,
which recently held Its sessions in Boston, no
question discussed was of more immediate in
terest and Of more far-reaehing importance
than that relating to poverty and the various
ills growing out of it. Anumber of the speak
ers contended with great force that one power
ful agent in its diminution, as well as its pre-
vention. would be the fostering and encour-
agment of all influences tending to closer
companionship among the classes to be
affected
In this connection a remark made by the
Rev. DR.. w. S. Reynolds. of New York. is
worthy of reproduction. He said: "The
greatest influence in the life OF the unskilled
laborer is thetrades union. 1t is a force which
he understands and a companionship which
he appreciates" Here is view OF the trades
union ana its uses not generally presented.
Trades unions are generally thought of merely
as agencies for the maintenance OF labor
prices up to a certain standard. Their inlu-
ence upon the inner life Of those belonging to
them, as indicated by DR.. Reynolds, is rarely
taken into consideration.
4-'4'NN''y IL A'eo Ioi4o leEaL"S tho lidueS
union as an important item in the study Of
modern sociological problems. He looks upon
it rs possessing great possibilities in prevent
ing and alIeyiatlng poverty. There is no
doubt that not only are the conditions sur
rounding the poorer classes mItigated by as
sociadon and companionship, but the ex-
change Of experiences begets thoughts help
ful to ameliorate existing ills and to point out
the way in which 10 avoid or avert others.
The trades union. therefore, may be
means to even greater ends than the Increase
OF wages or the lessening of hours of labor.

Hon. William C. Whitney will soon go

the trip is 10 be taken. Miss Whitney has
been a familiar figure at the horse show iu New

main in this country TO axe any part in the

cares and obligations that are to be found in a

Is 1t possibley I'd no idea such good looking satin could bc made in this country Does it wearf Arc you quite sure it is pure silky These were the usual exoiamstions and questions. Bless their ignorant souls, women don't realize that European black silk has been deteriorating so rapidly as greatly to help successful production in the United States.

Tn. rom.h. of Rhod.p..

Who on earth, or what on earth. are the Pomaks2 is the question which will suggest itself to most of those who glance at tho heading of this article. The Pomaks arc Bulgarophonc Moham- medan Bulgarians-that Is to say, they are Bulgsrians who have adopted the creed of Islam, but retained their own language. With their native speech they have preserved certain usages and customs of their own race, thus afford ing to the ethnologist an admirable field for speculation as to the extent to which a change of religion, unaccompanied by other influences. can modify the in. grained characteristics of a nation.
 There are Pomaks in many parts of Bulgaria, but the Pomak territory par excellence lies in the widest, remotest region of the Balkan peninsula. in the heart of Rhodope, a terra inoognita to the European traveller, and known only by report to the neighboring races; in ancient days the haunt of the frenxied Bacchantes,

One of Portland's dyspeptic women may their tribe decrease-was taking a dinner with friends, and when after picking over the good things the last course had been reached, and the host ess rather doubtfully offered her guest a piece of mince pie, the visitor said: "I don't think I'd better take any. can't eat mince pie unless it is very poor" The hostess said, Perhaps this would suit you," and she finally de- cided to try half piece. This she ate with evident relish, and passing her plate said. II think you may give me the rest of that pie; it just suits me. !"

At the same momentt the emperor stopped also, and their heads came in violent contact. putting the gravity of all present to 8 severe test It required the utmost presence of mind on the part of Mgr della Volpe to refrain from put ting his hand to his damaged pate, but he has not hesitated since to proclaim the emperor the most hard headed mon arch in Christendom.-London Globe.

MT. wolfert imme- distely took the oath of office before Secre- tary of State John Palmer. Mir. wolfert declares he will take the seat today, and McCarty says he will not give it up.
 The congratulations and his corps may have some work to do. although it is said that an injunction will be served on the clerk of the senate restraining him from declaring the result or putting it on the records The McCarty case was taken up immediately after prayer, and for hour aft CT hour the flibustering went on.

My hands trembled. Confusedly I real her.

 That is the will. give it to you, and you remain the heir of your unhappy uncle"
 I was so overcome by her answer that I was obliged to lean against the wall for support-so ashamed that could not look her in the face-her whom I had so basely accused.

 "Ahr' I murmured. "Of what use is the money to me! To receive it thus from your hands is the hardest of pun ishments. Twill not have itl To receive it from you who refused me so coldly, from you who despise me with such hu- initiating gentlenessl should consider myself disgraced for hfer'

 "I will not refuse" she answered gen. tly. And suddenly smiling sweetly she said, with subtle feminine irony:
 "I would never have refused it, for if you fell quickly in love with me I, too, was not slow in loving you"
 I caught Laure's hands and kissed them humbly. but she gently drew them away and begged me to remember the presence of the dead, which, to tell the truth, I had almost forgotten.
 Thus I captured my inheritance.-Ro- nance.
