TO WASH OR NOT TO WASH.
The Eneiishman IL Thoroughly Clean the
Erenchmln Externally so.

The question of cleanliness is one of
those on which the ideas OF the French
and English are at variance. In France
the cleanliness of the thing seen il the
primary consideration; i'm England,
things both seen and unseen are re-
quired To be clean. SAYS FOrtHtghtiy Re
CieW. Cleanliness in the preparation of
food, in the outer clothing OF the body,
in the elimination of dust is always re-
markable in France, and dirt is never
allowed to offend the eye. Unfortu-
1ateiy the genius of the nation for
cleanliness ends here, and the necessity
of water as purifier in towns like Paris,
where the supply is inadequate, is in
sufficiently recognized. 1t is not un-
derstood among the lower and middle
classes that il ii is beautiful to live in an
apparent state of cleanliness, it is equal
ly so TO exist in real one, and that as
long as sanitation and hygiene are put
tnio "A corner as troublesome sciences,
which are costly, TO no visible advant-
age, perfect living cannot be attained.
The whole continent suffers from in
sufliciency Of ablution, and although in
fashionable households the morning
bath has succeeded in establishing itself
a large proportion of the population is
content to live in a state of inner grimi-
ness. 1t is hardly necessary to allude
to the persistent violation of health and
principles by architects. They are not
blamed for their dangerous disregard
for the essential conditions of healthy
living, and they are therefore indiifer-
ent upon the subject. the more so as the
nation at large has impaired the sensi-
tiveness of its olfactory nerve by famil-
iarity with irritants.
The Englishman, on the other hand,
has an exaggerated, almost eccentric
craving for abundance of water, which
he satisfies at all costs, and under the
most difficult conditions. He has de-
veloped this craving 10 an astonishing
degree. and when he is absent from his
hygienic country, he nurses an almost
superstitious dread of evil sanitation.
Not breath of unsavoriness escapes his
finely = tempered sense, and his life
abroad is constantly rendered unhappy
by offenses against it. He has a cult
for clean and rosy skins, and his idea of
moral purity cannot be disassociated
from physical purity.
For priests abroad, whose poverty
has made them careless as to cleanli-
ness, Englishmen have great aversion,
and often refuse to believe in the piety
of an ecclesiastic imperfectly cleansed.
Is it the constant suggestion offered by
the waves which encircle his island or
the raininesss of his climate that has
made the Englishman so love waterp
Whatever it may be, he has certainly
set the example to the rest of the world
of a delightful system of living by re-
ducing to a minimum the unpleasant
materialism of the body, and making it
appear more etherealE human.

Taken from Darkness to Light.

81 saw an odd sight in Luzerne county
few days ago" said Eckley Is. Coke
of Drfton. six mules that had for
four years hauled cars in the lower
workings of a coal shaft to and from the
foot of the shaft had TO be brought up
owing to the flooding of the mine on ac-
count of fire. The mules in all that time
had seen no light stronger than the
flicker of the little Davy lamps the
miners carried. The sun was in the
zenith when they reached the surface
and the atmosphere was as clear as
crystal.
THE astonished creatures closed their
eyes TO shut out the flood of strong light
and kept them tightly closed while they
were being driven tn a pasture lot a
mile distant and turned loose. There
they stood trembling as if they were
afraid something evil was about to befall
them. Presently they half opened their
eyes and peered around in open-mouthed
amazement 1t was clear they couldn't
understand it.
"When they had become accustomed
to the sunlight they elevated their heads
and slqAly swept their gaze over culm
piles, SKY mountains and horizon again
and again. Toward sundown they broke
into choras of joyous brays, the like
of which was never heard from mules
before.
after a quarter of an hour of that
music they took to kicking. jumping,
whiring around like teetotums and
rolling on the sod as if they had gone
mad. For folu days they spent their
time grazing mt The new sights of field
and SKY, refusing food and wafer, not
even niDbiing at The grass and not as

DIAMONDS FREE OF TARIFF.
The Young Woman brought Over the
Jewels on Her Garter.

On the promise of seeing something
new, if not startling, | accompanied an
acquaintance TO meet an incoming
steamer from Europe. Ny acquaint-
ance had informed me that his cousin
was bringing over goods of very great
value, and expected that considerable
trouble would be consumed in examin-
ing and appraising the articles. The
cousin" was an attractive young lady
and looked rosy and healthy as she
tripped down the long plank. She had
delightful voyage, etc, and had been
good enough to bring only two trunks
These were found, an inspector made a
hasty examination of the contents saw
that they were only ordinary wearing
apparel, chalked the backs. and we
started Off We went uptown and
made for good restaurant The in
tcresting small talk of travellers filled in
the time until we three were seated at a
table and the order given for luncheon,
The lady sat next to the wall.
Il suppose everything is all right,
Julie?" asked my friend.
"Yes, indeed" she replied, smiling
triumphanty.
Il promised to show this gentleman
something" he said. There's no dan
ger that anybody will catch on, SO if
you've objection"
He paused. She blushed furiously
and replied: well, don't know that
/ care but it's unusual"
Then she reached down toward the
floor on the side next the wall, and of
course | don't know exactly what she
did. but when her hand appeared again
it was closed over something. She
held it toward me, saying; open both
hands and be careful" | did as she
told me- and she laid upon my palms
garter that fairly blazed with diamonds.
| took one look and whispered, Snug
gledP" She nodded vigorously, while
her companion smiled approval and re-
marked: Il shall keep that interesting
piece of ribbon. 1t saves me several
thousand dollars in duties"
There's another like it," said the
fair cousin. But guess | won't take
that Off. The other of course was on
the side not next to the wall. You
have TO get a cab now for your curios-
.ty," she added, "for that article was
worn for use as well as profit and if |
walk-wel, it might come down, and
that wouldn't be pleasant.
And after lunch the happy smugglers
went away in a cab.

MISSED HIS ONE CHANCE.
An English Sportsman Who Didn't Know
His Game.

An Englshman, on his first shooting
trip in India. had put up with his serv.
ant, Mohammed Ali-high
names are cheap in that country-at "a
nameless village of half dozen huts :"
All the male population, consisting OF
nine men and boys, turned out cheer
fully to beat the jungle for him. On
the first day and very near the village
he met with an adventure which evil
IDENTIFY is never recalled without pro-
found sorrow, although he tells the
story, in "the shadow Of the Pagoda, :"
with some attempt at lightness of spirit.
"Mohammed Ali had posted me in a
thicket overlooking "A long, narrow lane
OF grass, which wound like a stream
between hills clothed i'm dense Jungle.
My ambush was not ten feet from the
opposite wall of bush. and | sat there
with cooked rifle in the breathless ex-
pectancy of a novice with Mohammed
Ali crouching at my back. felt his
warning finger, and, straining every
nerve, heard the deliberate approach Of
some animal.
"A few moments more and a Jersey
cow-like head was peerng at me over
the bushes ten feet away. Vaguely
thought of the neighboring village and
straying kline. For full five seconds
that animal and looked into each 9TH
er's eyes, each wondering what the
other was doing there. Then the head
vanished. The bamboos crashed before
the rush of heavy animal in flight, and
| knew what had not done.
"Ah, sahib, sahib! All, sahib, sahib,
sahibr
"Mohammed Ali stood over me, beat
ing his hirsute bosom with both hands.
His eyes were full of tears.
"a cowg | stammered, feeling very
small.
"Cowr exclaimed Mohammed Ali,
sitting down to rock himself to and fro
and bang his breast till it sounded like
smothered drum. Cow, sahib! 1t
was a tsne! tsine! tsine! Oh, why did
you not shootP 1t was dead; it was
killed! Why, sahib, did you not fire?'
"A tsine! | do not think Mohammed
Ais sufferings were comparable to
mine when | learned that the visitor
was the rarest and finest game beast to
be shot in the country. And he, like
the patient man he is, forgave me on
the spot.
Never mind, sahib, he said, rising
with deep sigh; never mind, you
shall kill the next one. There are many
in this jungle
There may have been, but though
we beat and tracked all that day, and
for many days afterward, seldom re-
turning to camp without seeing some
thing, the something was never tsine."

The Cleveland Convention.

The Thirteenth Annual Convention of the
Young Peoples Societies of Christian
Endeavor Just held in Cleveland, Ohio, has
proven, in spite of all adverse circumstances,
one of the most successful ever held, Il, 79C
delegates from out side the city being present.
and the whole number in attendance
exceeded 10000 Among these were repre-
sentatives from almost all our states and
territories. Canada, England, China, India,
Australia, and other far corners of the world,
no country of which is now without G. E.
Society.
The convention lasted four full days during
which time from two to five meetings were
| in constant session. These were addressed
in the society and in the world. Among
| these may be mentioned Bishops Falows
and Grand, Pres. Thwing, Geo. McCurdy,
Miss Willard, "Pansy," DIR. Boardman,
McEwen, Hoyt, Hills, Anthony Comstock,
j. q. Woolley, Sec'y. Baer, and many others
equally well known.
| Two auditorums, each seating 10000
people, had been prepared and meetings
were held simultaneously in these-always to
| packed houses. The delegates present
| represented IN all 1863 societies and total
membership of 2 ,023, $40. These are included
| In ~ denominations ana extend 10 all
quarters of the world.
TIE Cleveland convention proved con-
clusively that Christian Endeavor has passed
its experimental stage. 1t ia beyond the
regions of doubt, mscoDception or sus-
picion. 1t stands today for definite pledged
service "for Christ and the Church." 1t
does not need TO apologize for its existence
nor to demonstrate further its right to live.
1t may be known, and is willing TO be judged
by its fruits. Gov. Mckinley said of it Il
can conceive of no more beautiful employ
ment thav that of Christian Endeavor-the
effort to be good aud to do good. | am
personally glad to make acknowledgement
to the society for the splendid work it is
doing for conscience and Christianity, for
citizenship and the courtry."
Christian Endeavor is today one of the
worlds recognized forces for good. Nom
mally a society for the young ii embraces
oil d and young alike and is named, az one has
said, "by men and women plus the young"
The scientists of the day, the wise men of the
time, the leaders of thought. the ornaments
Of the pulpit, the picked men of the UNIVERSE
ties, the strong men of the seminaries are to
be found iii its ranks as well as on the hoor
of its convention and here too are they of
whom the present workers can say sincerely:
The generation that is coming is better than
ours that is passing away, because the God OF
the generations has bestowed newly and
largely through the blessed agency of
Christian Endeavor,
Its conventions are times of delight and
and inspiration of thanksgiving and prayer.
To attend one is a privilege and an educa-
ton, a revelation to the city in which 1t Is
held, at the same time one Of the truest and
best indicators of the worlds upward
progress.
