Sir John Deane. :"

Sir John Deane."
The painted, noisy wife of his old
friend rose to greet him, and she knew
why he was there as well as if ne had
spoken.
He murmured some excuse and drew
her husband out of the room.
The whole place swan before her
eyes; she was struck dumb. Only sub
lime pity could have forced him to visit
her again. Daisy dead-she had read
II in the trouble in his face-Daisr dead,
dead! Her own little baby cold and
dead, and she not there to hold her in
her arms, to kiss her just once more, TO
weep over heI'-to-
Her friend was speaking. She strug-
gled back to consciousness. to hear her
say in her loud, blatant voice
Fancy Sir John coming to visit YOU
again, Dolly. What triumph for you
tonight has been."
The whole roomful of people heard,
and they looked at Mrs Marston. She
smiled family; the color in her cheeks
did not vary, nor where her eyes dim,
but her lips, for some strange reason, had
turned blue, and her voice when she an
swered had ghastly sound.
How funny you are. dear! What a
triumph did You say? What triumph
tonight has beenr"
They took leave of her one bv one,
and left her there face to face with her
triumph alOne.-IHe S6etdh.

PRAYER A UNIVERSAL INSTINC I

There is, just at present. a particu-
larly animated discussion going on as
to the province and efficacy of prayer
1t is very easy for unbelievers t,
ridicule prayer. They say: Does i
rain when you pray for rain" Does
it stop raining when you pray for
sunshine?"
Then they laugh at the idea that a
universe which is manifestly govern
ed by general laws should be intuenc-
ed by special prayers.
In reply to all this il may be stated
that all spiritual and religious affairs
are enveloped in mystery. We see
them as through a glass darkly.
But what seems to us a very power
ful argument in favor Of prayer, and.
indeed, unanswerable, is the universal
instinct TO fall down before a higher
power and petition for help and re
lief under at1iictions for which there
is no human remedy.
By the death bed of our beloved
who would not pray?
Then it will not do to make light of
prayer-to attempt to ridicule the
whole world on its knees; for alike
saint and sinner-the reyered pastor
and the pirate in storm-supplicate
the same God for forgivness and pre-
servatiOn.

The Small Boys Latest Game.

Who has noticed a peculiar scroll
drawn in chalk upon the sidewalk dot
ted with apparent hieroglvphs, and
serving to interest and amuse youthful
New Workers? This is a new game,
an echo of The great fair, ans it re-
joices in the name of The Ferris wheel" 1"
1t is kind of "hopscotch," but much
more complex and ingenious, and rose
in the armament of youthful sports, a
star of the first magnitude, during the
Columbian exposition. When it will
set no astronomer can predict. It's dis
coverer was Chicago lad.
A great, double spiral is drawn, lots
are cast 10 decide who is TO lead off, and
then Master A. B., who has won the
cast, hops into the diagram, as far as
the center, and then retraces his hops
steps would be inaccurate. After this
be places his initials i'll any part of the
spiral which appeals to his taste. The
others follow in order. No one must
touch the lines of the spiral, fail 10 keep
one foot clear of the ground, or rest
upon any initials except his own. This
is no easy matter, particularly after the
diagram has become an interlaced con-
fusion of letters.
The players score one for each sue
cessful effort. the highest score natural
ly winning.
The rapid spread of the game, its
naming in honor of the exhibit which
probably impressed youthful visitors
most deeply, and to which they could
trace an intended resemblance in the
curved lines of the diagram, its curious
complexity, all make the new sport ex.
tremely interestinr.

SECRETS REVEALED.
How They Are Often Told Without Any
one Intending to Betray Them.

People ordinarily suppose that secrets
cannot be told unless someone deliber-
ately tells them. But the most sacredly
guarded secrets in the world are those
kept under the seal of the confessional
in the church of Rome, and there is,
says the YOUTHS Companion, a we'll
known story of the way in which that
seal was once broken, no one-in par
Misunderstanding it.
An illustriOus French prelate was at a
great banquet in company with many
members of the French nobility and
many other ecclesiastics.
The conversation turned upon the
lifelong experience of priests, their in
sight into the depths of human nature,
and the strange secrets of which, in
virtue of their office. they must become
the depositaries. To point his remarks,
his eminence said:
For instance, gentlemen, the first
confession | ever received was that of
a murderer"
At that moment, and while express
sions of wonder, interest, and horror
were still upon the lips of his auditors,
the door opened and a nobieman of the
highest rank, man well known among
them, entered the room. He saluted
the company, and then paid his re-
spects to the prince of the church, add
ing gracefully, as he turned to the COM
pany:
You are perhaps not aware gentle
men, that had the honor to be his
eminence's first penitent"
The CONSERVATION of the company
and his eminence's state of mind may be
imagined. Yet what had his eminence
told?
And it is probable that most secrets
are told in this manner. No one pur-
posely tells them, but between priest
and penitent they are told and-the
murder is out.
Few people intend to betray conf
dences, but "Remember," saws the
oriental proverb. "vour friend has a
friend, and your friends friend has
friend"
IT behooves us, then, to set a stricter
watch upon our lips, and be careful how
we drop perfectly innocent halves of
confidence, since we never know who
may be coming around the corner with
the other half to match it,

A tree 1SS years old and only TWEEN
ty and one-half inches in height is
novelty of interest not only to horti-
culturists but the public in general.
Such a tree was received from Oak
land, Cal, yesterday by Mannheimer
Bros. and is now on exhibition in the
art department of their store. 1t is
species of evergreen and comes from
Japan, which is the only place in the
world where the art of stunting trees
is successfully practiced. The process
is necessarily long and tedious one
In this case the trunk of the tree,
which is scarcely half an inch in dia
meter. has been trained in a spiral.
The limbs are likewise trained so as
TO occupy as little space as possible.
1t is doubtful if anything of the kind
has been seen in ST. Paul before.

Americans a Questioning Race.

"Americans ask more questions than
the natives Of any other country in the
world" said p. c. Middlekauf of Lon
don, a globe trotter, at the Grand.
They are naturally inquisitive. II an
American sees a sign fresh paint he
will instinctiveIy feel it with his fingers
to see if it is dry. If he wants to learn
the time a train leaves he will consult
the time table, and after he has found
out what he wants to know, turn to the
hotel clerk and ask what time the train
leaves. He will look at his watch, and
half dozen people will ask him the
time of day He then has to refer to
the watch again ig order to tell them.

 It will be remembered by Age-H Herald readers that Whitlock was captured in this city early Monday morning by Capt. Will Weir and Officers BodelSer, IGllard. Byars, Rolla and Brown, all of the Bir- mngham police force, and after incar- ceration in the city prison. made d con fession of having killed an officer in La Grange, Tenn, in August last.
 MT. Griffin in giving an account Of the crime for which Whitlock was wanted said the crime was purely murder The man he killed was named Holiday and was a district deputy constable. Hoill- day had a warrant for the negros ar rest and when he went to serve il the negro shot him three times and ran off. The crime created great excitement In the community and county, and armed officers went in search of the negro and. had he been found, the trip to Bfrming- ham would not have been necessary, as the negro would not have been given a chance to escape.
 Deputy Holiday leaves wife and nine children.
