A Cheerful Face.

Next to the sunlight of heaven is
the cheerful face. There is no mis-
taking it - the bright eye. the un-
clouded brow, the sunny smile, all
tell Of that which dwells within.
Who has not felt its electrifying in
fiuenceg One glance at this face
lifts as out of the mists and shadows
into the beautiful realms of hope.
One cheerful face in the household
viii keep everything warm and
light within. 1t may be very plain
face, but there is something in it we
feel, but cannot express and its
cherry smile sends the blood dan
cling through the veins for very Joy.
There Is world of blessed magic in
the plain, cheerful face, and we
would not exchange it for all the
soulless beauty that ever graced the
fairest form on earth.-The Church

SAINT OF THE COOKS.

She Was Queen of the Culinary Art and

Few people, perhaps, knew before
that cooks had a saint of their own.
who, kind lady will doubtless in the
hereafter make the grilling of them
as pleasant as possible. Santa Zita,
as she is named, lived it appears, at
Genoa, and was there canonized.
She could so runs the legend, cook
better than any chief within 300
miles of the town, which we all
know is noted for its wonderful
soups and dumplings, though of
course in the latter indigestible ar
ticle Of food outrivaled by Vienna,
since it is one of the chief articles in
the religion of gastronomy that it is
only in the kaiserstadt that the CLOSE
is in perfection. Santa Zita was, it
seems, not less famous for her piety
than for cooking, and was a con-
stant attendant at the cathedral dur
ing high mass.
One day, however she fell into a
trance, so-called though in plain
English a good sound sleep-and
quite forgot that she had to produce
an exceptionally fine dinner for a
large company. On awakening she
hurried forth from the sacred edifice
in a way which was far indeed from
her wont, but on reaching the kit
chen, what was her surprise and de-
light to find party of cherub celes-
tials busy cooking the required din
ner. She did not interfere, but was
at first not unwilling to accept the
praise which was lavished on her
culinary success. She soon repent
ed, however and told the world the
truth about the spiritual and mira
culous help she had received, and it
was agreed on all sides that she de-
served to be canonized. According
ly she became Santa Zita.

Chicago, June 25.-The Evening Post
has a sensational piece of railway news
to-day. 1t is to the effect that Henry
Willard, backed by a number of Euro
pean and American capitalists, has
about completed a deal which will give
them a through line from the Atlantic
to the Pacific seabcard. The intention
CT the Willard syndicate is to buy the
Northern Pacific railroad and then the
B. e o., which is to be sold,at receiv-
er's sale. 1t is said the syndicate has
already practically obtained control of
the Chicago & Great Western road,
which will be the connecting link be-
tween the B. & o. and the Northern
Pacific.
1t is also said that the apparent an
tagonism between the Adams recrgan-
iza..on committee of the Northern Pa
cific and Willard was only assumed, and
that now, when the scheme has been
all but accomplished, reconciliation
has taken place.

and Minister Andrsde, of Venezuela,
with both of whom he conferred. sepa-
rately. concerning arrest by Venezuelan
troops of British Crown Surveyor Har-
rison on the British-Venezuelan boun-
Diary line. 1t is understood that Sir
Julian. acting under instructions from
the British foreign Office, requested the
friendly intervention of the United
States toward securing the release Of
Mr.. Harrison. as was done by the Brit
ish authorities in behalf Of an Ameri-
can, John Hays Raymond, during the
Trans aal uprising.
Mr. Andrade was first at the depart
mont. so that at the time of his call
the British request had not been sub
mitted Mr.. Andrad'e called very early,
before the usual hour when diplomatic
calls begin. He was with Mr. .Olney
some time, going over quite fully the
circumstances OF the Harrison incident.
The view of the minister was that the
affair had been magni1ied and that it
was lacking in circumstances of serious
indignity or wrong to Great Britain.
