Around the altar rail,
The golden pumpkin purple grape.
And crisp and curly kale;
And scarlet berries lent their glow
And glory 70 the scene
And yellow corn cleaned from below
A mass Of evergreen.
The organ and the chorus choir
Set up . mighty blare.
And silver cornet lent its aid
To swell the heavenly air;
And then tho pastor took his text
And made our duty plain:
The Lord has blessed; unto his poor
Let US return again.
The church with velvet and brocade
Was an imposing scene.
The deecons passed the silver plates,
With grave and reverend mien;
But when the altar was regained
With Heavens expected rents,
Behold. before the altar piled
heap Of copper cents.
A sadness seemed 10 fill the place,
The lights grew pale and low,
The music had q discOrd grim,

And in the miasmatic air,
Across the deadly dusk,

Each busy with his huek.

The regions Of the Little Colorado
river in Arizona abound in wonderful
vegetable pstrifications-whole forests
being found in some places which ere
as hard az flint, but which look as il
but recently stripped Of their foliage.
Some of these stone trees are standing
just as natural as life, while others are
piled across each other just like the
fallen monarchs of real wood forest.
Biologists say that these stone trees
we're once covered to che depth of 1000
feet with mari, which transformed
them from wood to solid rock. This
mari, after the lapse of ages, washed
out, leaving some Of the trees standing
in an upright position. The majority
OK them, however, are piled helter-

cords being sometimes piled up on an
acre of ground.

SMALL DRAFTS DRAWN BY WOMEN

Checks drawn BY women and aggre-
eating in value more than 100000 have
been cashed by few of the banks in
this city and Brooklyn within the last
three or four days. In almost every
instance the money paid out on the de-
mand OF these feminine checks was
brand new. For number of years the
banks that cater especially to women
have made it practice at Christmas
time to pay out new bills and new coin
only in honoring the checks of female
depositors. Two or three of the banks
use nothing but new money for this
purpose all the year round.
AS compared with their drafts of
previous years the women of New York
and Brooklyn have been quite econom-
ical in their use of Christmas money
this year. Il. @. Lewis, who is in charge
of the women'5 department of the Lin
coin National bank, said that. while
not so many checks of large figures
had come under his observation this
year as last, he was of the opinion that
fully as many ladies' checks had been
cashed and he did not know but that
the average might run little higher
than in 1894. All women's checks are
paid with new money at this bank.

Mr.. Dapew's affairs most of the time, is

DRAMA In MADAGASCAR

Only four Europeans were invited to
this performance, which took place at
the court of the Hove queen in July,
that is in the midst of the Malagasy
winter, and still higher favor was
that they were not compelled to pay
plaster ($1) and besides have to bring
with them their chairs. The perform
ance began at o'clock in badly kept
hall. Most of the windows we're broken
and drafts circulated freely. Near
the entrance to the hall the pre-
mier minister. Rainilairivony, received
the invited guests in person. Onca in
the hall the European guests wee
shown to red plush stalls, placed next
to the throne chair. This latter stood
upon slightly raised dais. upon which
the queen, with her two little nephews
and her niece, the heir presumptive to
the throne, had taken their places.
Upon the steps of the throne there was
the inevitable cuspidor of green glass,
which, it seems, must accompany the
queen wherever she goes. The stage
was very primitive affair. Four men
pulled up the curtain and held it fast
by ropes during the entire perform
ance, standing in the background all
the while. When the scene was laid in
the open air some real trees and bushes
were stuck into holes provided in the
boards for the purpose. The male per-
formers were gentlemen of the court in
European society dress, around which
the ''lamba," the wide Malagasy cloak,
was thrown; the actresses wore nothing
but short, highly colored shirts; they
we're dancers Of the queen.
Anumber of short pieces we're played,
all OF which related to theft, the ma
tional vice Of the Hovas. In the first
one chicken was stolen, in the second
child, in the third a woman. The
queen, who is remarkable for stolidity,
and who never smiles in public, seemed
| to be thoroughly amused; she laughed
| heartily. The premier minister, who is
at the same time the husband of the
| queen, was also satisfied; he threatened
the performers with his raised finger,
which with the Hovas is a sign of great
courtesy. The performance, however,
was shorter than anticipated, the queen
left without awaiting the end, and the
curtain fell Immediately after she rose
from her seat and sailed out of the
hall, accompanied by the premier min
lister and followed by her suite.-Paris

Rev. Fl. H. Ford, pastor of the Metho-
dist Episcopal church at st. Louis,
preached Sunday morning to the bar
bers of the city. His text WAS: Ezekiel,
vi, A Barber's Razor. At the right of the
pulpit was barbsr's chair, towels, two
mirrors and the paraphernalia usually
seen in well-equipped shop. Mr..
Ford gave brief history of the pro-
fession, it's long existence, ancient su-
perstitions, and that of Cinnamon of
tie present day, after which he COM
pared the various paraphernalia to
different phases Of human life, COM
bining the worldly with the spiritual.

plication Of the truth, false ideas would

CENT HAS NOW BECOME POPULAR

Less than twenty-five years ago that
coin of the United, States designated
81 cent" was unknown in the far west,
and seldom seen in the old northwest
ern states. Nothing was sold for less
than nickel, and prices we're arranged
to make even change. Now, in all the
states, including those of the Pacific
slope, which were the last to succumb,
cents are in common, everyday use,
aud prices are arranged accordingly.
The effect of the change is, of course,
an increased coinage demand. Three
turning out $4,000 cents day. 1t is
stated that from 1893 to the beginning
of our great war the coinage of the cent
piece averaged only $4,000 worth o
year. Just before and during the
war the coinage became IN
usually large, but during tho per-
iod OF inflated prices it fell off very
materially. Ii 1885, however, there was
sudden and great rise in cent coin
age, and there has been no return to
small figures. Almost one-half of the
entire cent coinage of the United States
has been executed in the last fifteen
years; or, to be exact, 4,700 600 of the
7S0,000,000 pieces outstanding have been
struck since 1880. And still the demand
continues.
II this change had set in when the
crash of 1873, or that of 1898 came on,
it would have been regarded as nat
ural result Of hard times. But as it
began with the return of prosperity
after resumption, some other explana-
ton than that Of financial stringency
is required to account for it, The
Portland Oregonian thinks that prob
ably the potent influence in extending
the use of copper cents is the reduce
ton Of price, through improved ma
chinery and lessened cost of produc-
ton, Of articles OF universal use, which
| always are sold separately, like news
papers. It says the sale of papers for
fractions Of a nickel everywhere east
of the Mississippi has created an enor-
| nous demand for pennies, and predicts
| that this demand will be quite doubled
before long by the inevitable fall Of the
price of single ride on street car
below five cents.
The use OF cents is not a popularity
of the poor. Many Of the mostly goods
such as silks, velvets and laces-are
marked so as to require change i'll this
coin. Writer'S on economic topics
state that the use OF small coins is
greatest with the most highly devel-
oped natione. We have heard but one
objection to this reform in the United
States, and that came from pastor of
western church. He complained that

How do you account for the follow
ing: In one of the largo factories of
New York young girl tainted away.
Il was near closing time. The news
went rapidly through the building, and
in very short time nearly dozen of
the employees had tainted, and de-
mand for ambulances was made. Was
it form of sympathy which compels
one to initiate what he sees in others?
A French practitioner relates that in a
convent of nuns one of the inmates
was seized with an impulse to new like
a cat, and soon the whole sisterhood
followed her example. In another

confined to that identical college, but

CAPT, BOYCOTT is IN NEW YORK

He was grizzled, sQuare-set, and q
trifle understood. When the horse
show opened he was there. He was
present when tho band played the final
"Home, Sweet Home" He turned up
yesterday at the sale of horses, and he
witnessed the work OF the auctioneer.
But nobody recognized the man.
And yet his name is known wherever
the English language is spoken. More
than that, it is a component part Of
our speech. AS noun 'eS verb, it is
equally virile and significant. It is
identified with the struggles that have
before now shaken the social Atructure
to its center. The strong ARM, Of the
law has smitten it. It has provoked
the maledictions of the rich. The poor
have appealed to it for aid against their
taskmasters.
Capt. Boycott-for the man in ques-
ton was he and no other-was a mid
dle-aged man when he first filled the
public eye in 1879-'S0. But he is hale
and wholesome looking still. What
ever his faults, he was not lacking in
faithfulnees to his employer, Lord
Erne. And the men who inaugurated
the first boycott admitted his bulldog
pluck. That pluck failed not during
the trying times at Tough Mask, when
redcoats, peasantry, potheen, buck
shot, and landlords were mingled in
the pleasing confusion peculiar to the
popular Irish drama.
The captain has not been to this
country before since 1881. He is now
visiting friends who are identified with
horse-breeding interests up the state
and in Canada.
The square shoulders, the deeply-set,
shrewd eyes and the long, thin lips are
the features Of Boycott's physical
makeup that impress themselves on an
observer. His beard is short, closely
woven, and reddish brown grizzle.
Both it and the mustache grow sparsely
around the lips, so that the lines and
contour of the mouth are visible. Boy
colt has knack of drawing in those
lips of his that makes him look the
very incarnation of will power. His
facial angie is good, but his nose is
blunt and coarse. The head is small
and straight from nape to crown. It
is the head of soldier. The ears are
flat, large-lobsd, and hairy. The jaw,
curiously enough, is pointed and re-
treating. A thin growth of crisp, gray
ish hair covers the lower half of the
skull.
Boycott talks but little. Ask him a
question and he scans your face for a
moment before replying, as if seeking a
hidden meaning to your query. Then
he shifts his shoulders, turns from you
a tritle, and replies, his eyes fixed on
some distant object. He has low and
indeed pleasant voice. His accent is
distinctly English. As he speaks he
keeps his left hand hidden in his
trousers pocket. The thumb of his
right hand is used to flick away imagin-
airy straw specks from his vest and
coat. This Ticking is manifestly the
outcome of nervousness.-New York

fair depositors have kept the paying
tellers busy for the last ten days. Only
new money is paid out here. Saturday
and yesterday we're particularly lively
days. Mr.. Du Val said; "The women
have apparently curtailed their ex-
penditures this year. Although their
checks have been as numerous as last
year they have averaged smaller in
amount"
Jacob r. Demarest, paying-teller of
the Bank of New Amsterdam, said that
the woman depositors OF that bank had
been active in drawing out money for
Christmas, but he did not think that
the amounts drawn were so large as
last years. For instance. where a
woman would draw check for $3.50
last year, the same woman would be
likely to draw cut 500 this year.
