A remarkable accident happened to
j. P. Irvine, in McMinnville, on Mon
day. He was working in the wood
shed at his home, being at the time
pounding with a hatchet upon the
floor. A bottle containing quart
of gasoline, standing upon the shelf
of a cupboard close by, was dislodged
by the jarring and came down with
a crash right in the place where he
was working. The concussion lgni-
tedsUhe fluid, which flashed up sud-
denly, almost filling the room with
flames. Fortunately none of the
gasoline got on his clothes, and he es-
capped other injury than his eyebrows,
whiskers and hair were pretty well
singed. During the next to or three
minutes great activity was required
to subdue the flames and prevent des-
tructiye ,cOnflagration.

and thousands are now making a
study Of their family history. In
fact, every person should compile aud
preserve such family record, for It
mly be of great value to future gt ner-
ations, If not TO themselves.
Fo most au ong ] uina's to aid n
extending this intere ting study is
The n. Y. Mail and Express, which
maintains weekly department de-
voted to queries for family records
and replies thereto. The department
is open to any one who wishes to

Messrs. Dodd, Mead and Company
have just published a California story
by Beatrice Harraden, entitled Hilda
Stafford, in beautiful little volume
with illustrations. The frontispiece
is portrait of Miss Harraden repro
duced from photograph taken in
California. Miss Harraden isat pres
ent residing at Bour 1emouth, in Eng
land, but hopes to be able very soon to
return to California. She is much
grleved at the necessity of postponing
the writing of her long novel, which
was expected to appear last autumn.
She writes: II have been Obliged to
put away my work from absolute me-
cessity, and not from wilfulness or
laziness or want of something to say.
AS matter of fact, | never had more
to say in my life than now, but every
effort | make to finish that novel puts
me further away from it, so / just
have to wait until / can gather up a
little strength of body and brain. 1t
was three quarters done when broke
down over it," These who have seen
the chapters already written speak of
it in the very highest terms, and place
it much above Miss Harraden's pre-
vious work. Messrs. Dodd, Mead and
Company have also secured the Amer
lean rights of hook of child's Christ
mas stories which Miss Harraden is
projecting.

1t is the most rapid piece of writing

Noble s~elf-saeriRcs OF the sistsrs OF che
Good shepherd.
egThe hermits Of old" forswore all
the pleasures Of life that they might
devote themselves entirely to medita-
tion aud prayer-the Sisters of the
Good Shepherd, in this nineteenth cen
fury, all the material benefits
of life and shut themselves up in clois-
tiers not for themselves alone, not sim.
ply to avoid the world and all its vain
pomps, but first and above all for the
preservation and redemption of wom-
aphood. Gods creatures frst-unpro-
tected girlhood and erring, sorrowing
Womanhood-the salvation of these
constitute the life work of the Sisters
OF the Good Shepherd. For this noble
and Christian end they leave home and
friends, ease and luxury. and renounce
the world as completely as "the hermits
of old
No one can join the order of the Good
Shepherd unless her reputation and the
reputation Of her family is free from
all blemish. And yet these spotless
women not only bury themselves alive
for the love of the God they adore, but
they gladly give themselves heart and
soul to the preservation and redemption
of their less fortunate sisters.
Deep Within the stone walls of the
mausoleum which they call their
-'house" they work earnestly and low
ingly, with willing hands, cheerful
hearts, and dauntless energy, from four
m the morning till nine at night, day
In and day out, year in and year out,
from the day they take their vows.
pledging themselves to God and their
special work to the day they lie in their
cells dying-and all for womanhood;
for her preservation, if she is virtuous
but helpless; for her salvation if she
is fallen.
Fallen woman, when the world turns
from her in scorn, when she drinks the
hitter dregs of humiliation'a nd degra-
dation, when all is lost but life and the
power of suffering, fallen woman in
her last extremity can always find a
home and a refuge beneath the same
roof as the pure, self-sacrificing Sister
of the Good Shepherd.
To this heaven-inspired sister there
is no world, and there never will be any
but the dreary world within the cold
stone walls around her; no society but
that of helpless innocents or wrecked
unfortunates; and yet she goes through
her life cheerful and happy, content and
joyful if she w by gentle precept and
exemplary conduct a few out of the
thousands to whom she devotes her vir-
tues, her intellectual accomplishments,
her patience and her life.-Chicago
Tribune.

THE a INDUSTRY.

-
AN Important Business In the Eastern
States. r
The management of the vineyard is an
interesting study and one which to be
successful requires technical knowl.
edge. In the large vineyards, as a rule,
the owner himself gives personal super
vision to every detail; sometimes a
manager or overseer performs these
duties. One of the largest growers in
this section tells me hat the most sue.
eessful grower is the foreigner who
with his family of eight or ten comes
and leases or buys 25 or so acres of
land, each member of the family having
his or her part in the work to perform
from spring until picking time, while
the winter is devoted to the making OF
the baskets. Thus no outside expendi-
lure is incurred and when the grapes are
sold the proceeds return to the family
as the profit on the individual labor OF
each member-quite in contrast with
the large owner who is compelled to
hire help to do each little thing, in addi-
ton to buying his baskets.
The Concord grape is the only variety
of any consequence raised in this re-
gion, and some idea of the magnitude
of the business carried on may be had
when it is known that the shipments
this year from Chautauqua county alone
amounted to $500 car loads, 5000 bas-
kets of ten pounds each in each ar.
These are taken from the grower by
some one of the numerous growers as
sociations, whose business it is to find
a market. Strange as it may seem it is
nevertheless true that three-fourths OF
them go to points west of Chicago,
while the other one-fOurth travels east
ward.
The, making of baskets is an impor-
liant item. Many factories are en-
ployed. The price ranges from two to
two and a half cents per basket; thus
she grower who would find his business
in any way profitable must in addition
to the cost of the basket realize at least
one cent per pound for his grapes, while
to-day it is a common thing to find a
ten-pound basket on the retail market
GLOW sale at ten cents. Thus we find
that the utmost care must taken in the
management of a vineyard to make it
profitable.-Robert Lew Seymour, in
Ch%autauouan.

assistance and cooperation of Mrs. Sec

again has Mrs. Cleveland avoided some
of the extra social amenities by direct
ing the current Of society towards the
home of the secretary of wax.
The wife of Secretary of the Treas
ury Carlisle has held q conspicuous
social position, and will give numerous
entertainments this winter. Secretary
of the Navy Herbert, with his hand
some daughter, win resume their series
of entertainments early in January.
The secretary of agriculture and his
sister, Miss Morton, will hold weekly
receptions. The wives of the postmas-
ter-general, the secretary Of the in

encouragement will also participate
in the social festivities.
