A Plea for Fruit and Flowers.

Again does the W. G. 7. q. Fruit and
Flower Mission appeal to its patrons for
aid in carrying the work along through
the remainder of the season. And just
now when flowers are SO plenty every
where, in fields, in gardens, in hot
house, and when fruit is flooding the
market in greatest plenty, such a call
seems particularly timely. One looks
with very longing eyes upon the gardens
whose owners are away summering,
which are compelled to waste their sweet
ness upon the desert air, and one wishes
parts of them could be transmitted into
the homes where they would make tht
solitary glad.
Perhaps it might have been ''from
want of thought" that not long ago.
there were but eight small bouquets sent
to the rooms when more than four score
were needed, and which by no NEGRO.
mancer's art could have been made
sufficiently attenuated to meet the de-
mand.
There is a saying that sometimes ''the
is wrought from want of thought.
And what is true of the need of the
flowers. applys equally well to the fruit.
What is SO delicious as daintily
arranged plate of tempting fruit accom-
panied by bunch of fragrant blossoms
To us, to whom they are no rarity even
they come with ever increasing thrills OF
delight Not SO much because of their
value, though that of itself is of no small
moment, but because they show that
there is a loving sympathy of friends
back of the gifts, and is not sympathy
after all, what we most crave. And how
much more can this be said of those
whose lives are so cold and gray by
reason of ill health and want. And in
their connection the question naturally
arises, "What better and more satisfying
work can be done by our Kings
Daughters than by ministering to these,
our ''neighbors' and friends, - for these
are they of whom their King makes
special mention. We are told that his
business requires haste, and right here
in our beautiful town, there comes al
imperative Call thab cstnHot 10 u1sfe
garded. 1t will be remembered that the
rooms of the Mission, SO Oak street, are
open every Thursday forenoon from
seven t. one O'Clock, when committees
will be in waiting to receive and dis
tribute flowers fruit and reading matter
All communications relative to the work
if addressed to either Flower Mission, 81
Oak street, Portland, or M. E. c., 54s
Cumberland street, will receive promp
and careful notice.

AN OBSTINATE oRTLANDER
Wouldn't Let Steamer Take Him in Tow
Until He Was Nearly Swamped.

The steamer William Corners left Ban
gor Friday with two Catholic clergymen,
ten Sisters from St Xavier's and five
young ladies on board for sail down
river, upon the invitation of Mr.. Will
liam Corners. On the return from Fort
Point they had gone but a short distance
when they were struck by gale which
rolled up huge waves When about half
way between Bucksport and Fort Point a
dory occu pied by a man was seen. The
boat had almost filed with water. The
steamer ran alongside the dory, and the
man was asked to get aboard, but he
would not. Neither would he take down
his sail, and it was not until the dory
had entirely filled with water and he had
lost his oars and clothing that he would
let the steamer take him in tow. He
said he belonged in Portland and had
sailed to the entrance of Penobscot Bay
and had been towed to Fort Point Cove.
He was bound for Bucksport. 1t was
six o'clock when the steamer reached
Bucksport.

Ai1inr Heirs to Thrones.

The CZarowitz is in the last stages OF
consumption and he is not expected to
leave Copenhagen. where he now is,
alive. Archduka Francis Ferdinand of
Austria is in very critical state from
disease Of the lungs. He has been given
unlimited absence from the army and is
under medical treatment in remote
health resort i'll the Tyrol.
The young crown prince of Italy is
also ailing to such a degree as to more
than ever convince people that he will
not live to succeed to bis fathers throne.
The heir to the Grand Duke of Baden
is consumptiye and has no heir. Prince
Albert OF Flanders, unlike his elder
brother, the lamented Prince Baldwin,
who persisted III such a mysterious man
| ner, is extremely delicate, and so. too,
is the little crown prince of Germany,
whose health is a matter Of grave anx-
iety to his parents. In fact, his second
brother, Prince Eitel, his superior in
stature, weight, cleverness and general
health, is almost universally regarded
as the real heir to the throne.
No enc would dream Of describing
the Prince Of Wales as healthy man,
while his son, the Duke of York, has
never entirely recovered from the effects
Of the typhoid fever with which he was
laid low just about the time of the death
Of his elder brother. In one word, one
may look all over Europe without find
ing a single heir to throne in whose
health and physique his future subjects
can place confidence. Chicago Record.

Mining hv Hog Power.

81 was riding through the mountains
in Trinity county few days ago. said
prominent mining man yesterday,
'when / happened to take trail that
led by old Barlap Johnson S cabin. You
know he has always been called Burlap
johnson because he was never known
to wear pair of boots, but always kept
his feet sewed up in burlaps like can
vas packed hams. I took dinner-cold
corn bread and bacon-with him, and
then sat down for a smoke.
Wouldn't you Jest as soon do your
smokin outside, podner?' he asked.
Certainly said |, but you don t
object to the smoke Of cigar, do you?'
! was naturally surprised, for he was
already putting away at an old corncob
pipe.
No, course not, seem as I've smok-
ed nigh On to so years, but keep my
hogs at work.
My curiosity was aroused, but said
nothing. He took down double bar
relied muzzle loading shotgun and his
powder horn. Then he went out to a
shed and got pan Of shelled corn. He
sat down ON bench at the cabin door,
rammed down a couple of charges Of
powder ald poured handful of corn
into each barrel. He put on percussion
cap, pressed it down with the hammer,
cooked both barrels and blazed away at
the side hill across the little gulch.
The roar had not died away till drove

squealing, and commenced to root the

Stacked up in their work, the old man
fred another charge Of corn.
THAT'S a mean trick, said. why
don't you feed it to them in a trough?'
Feed it to 'em?' he repeated in
amazement Then they wouldn t work.
Besides, they don't need it.
"'What do you want to make them
work for, and why do you waste corn
on them if they don't need it?'

A Shaker. Opinion Of Society.

Some years ago | knew an elder Of the
Shakers who differed from many Of his
brethren in having thought much about
the social structure Of his sect, though
their communal life was rather fayora-
bic to thinking IN all Of them. We were
talking one day Of the life Of the world,
which / defended, and be said in con-
cesEion Of my ground at one point: If
good society were what it appears 70 be
on the surface, could not fluid fault
with it. If people in society behaved to-
ward one another from motives Of real
kindness, as they behave now from mo-
tives Of politeDess, society would be an
image Of heaven; for In society You see
people defer to one another. the strong
give way 10 the weak; the brilliant and
the gifted will not put The rest az dis
advantage, and they all seem to meet On
an equality. The trouble Is that their
behavior is merely convention and not
a principle. They behave beautifully
from polifeness and not from kindness. .

these pleasant results through training,

been entirely by inheritance, for there
is not a great difference between the
ancestry of the north and the south,
though in the latter section the people
