HISTORIC MARlSIAGES.

The marriage of Ethclbert, king of
Kent, with Bertha the Christian daucil-
ter of Charibert, king OF Paris, paved
the way to Christianity in England
The marriage of Henry VIII with
Anne Boleyn was one of the principal
factors leading to the rcformation
Etheldrcd the Unready's marriage with
Emma of Normandy gave the conquer
or an excuse tor asserting his claim to
the English throne. The marriage of
Henry l. with Matilda of Scotland rec
onciled the people to the conquest bv
restoring the line of Cer,lic Henry
II's marriage with Eleanor OF Aquia-
tine made England the first continental
power in western Europe. The mar
riage of Henry VII. with Elizabeth of
York CLOSED the bloody Wars of the
Roses. The marriage of Margaret,
daue hter of Henry VII, with James
". of Scotland ultimately led to the
union of England and Scotland. Fl
nally the marriage Of Sophia with the
elector of Hanover put a line of Ger
man princes ON the English throne

Absolutely. Pure.
THE DINNER TABLE.

First put on the cover of canton
flannel, then the table cloth. The
cloth should hang over the table half
yard at the narrowest point, which
at the corners, of course, gives Il deep
er sweep. The napkins should be a
full yard square and should match the
cloth in daintiness and quality. The
simplest way to fold them is the best.
The napkins or model table are fold
ed in simple diamond shaped pocket,
whose opening points from the person
seated at the place. In the opening
goes the dinner roll, and across the top
is laid the name card.
In the centre of the table is placed
the low dish, silver or china or even
wicker, holding the floral decorations.
These vary with the season. taste and
income. A basket of ferns is very
graceful and effective, while the cost
lier roses are very lovely. At oppo-
site sides, flanking the centrepiece, are
the candelabra. These may be, in the
case of the table being described, which
is laid for eight persons, either two OF
two lights each CT four single ones.
Four small compoticr; or china dishes
on low standards make i; square
outside the circle of centerpicce and
candelabra and filled with assorted
bonbons, and two small, low, shell
shaped dishes hold the relishes-olives,
radishes or salted almonds.
At each cover is placed service
plate on which is placed the napkin.
At the right side ure two knives OF
uniform size and at the left their COM
panion folks. Resting against the
plate at the right side near the han
dies of the knives is the oyster fork.
At the head of The plate is the individ-
ual open salt dish of china, glass or
silver and little way from it pep
per stand. There may be a tiny salt
spoon, but this is not necessary. At
the right of the knives is the soup
spoon, which is the overage sized table
spoon. At the right, too, are placed
in two rows five goblets of varying
size, but similar in shape and design.
The largest is for the water served, be
it mineral or plain, the second size for
champagne, the smallest size for sher-
ry, and two others for red and white
wine, respectively. Everything is laid
with absolute accuracy and uniformity
at each place. point the average
servant needs much training upon.

ALL THE PEOPLE

Should keep themselves healthy and
especial care should be given to this
matter at this time. Health depends
upon pure, rich blood, for when the
blood is impure and impoverished dis
eases of various kinds are almost GER
tain to result. The one true blood
purifier is Hoods Sarsaparlla. BY its
power to purify and vitalize the blood
it has proved itself to be the safeguard
of health, and the record of remarkable
cures effected proves that it has Won
.derful power over disease. 1t actual
" and permanently cures when all
other preparations fail to do any good
whatever.

One of the sights OF Washington is
Senator Cockrcll of Missouri hailing a
street car. H. takes position half
way between the track and the curh,and
without looking in the direction OF the
car he extends his long arm horizontal
" in front of him and works it up and
down like the arm of Il semaphore. He
continues his signaling until the car
comes to Il full stop, when he gets
aboard with look that would indicate
that car could never have been

1t was two hours past midnight, and
a January storm was raging New
York lay foot under the snow which
had been falling all day and night only
to give place to an icy rain. The
streets were deserted by all save the
guardians of the peace, and even they
sought shelter wherever they could,
secure in the belief that Oh such night
they were safe from detection by the
chance patrolman. The clogged gut
tiers afforded no outlet, and rivers of
water ran over the mounds of snow
and gathered in pools in the footprints
made early in the evening by hurrying
crowds of workers eager to reach their
homes.
At the desk of one of the largest and
most luxurious hotels stood young
man, fashionably attired, leaning part
ly on one arm, with his face toward
the door Near him stood the clerk
and they were engaged in that semi
confidential chat so usual between men
of their habits. All life in the vast
caravansary was hushcd under the
dreary, sodden sound of the rain as it
drove its way into the snow
Suddenly one of the doors leading to
the street swung in a little, and what
seemed but a gray bundle of wet rags
flashed through and disappeared be-
hind a huge hall lounge, beside the
radiator. Despite the rapidity with
which it came and vanished. neither
the eye of the clerk or that of his COM
panion failed to observe it; nor were
they at loss to under stand what it
was An ejaculation somewhat pro-
Zane escaped the lips Of the clerk, as
his hands instinctively came down upon
the bell. and the almost unconscious
'FRONT.' came, as though ierkcd, from
his lips
The young man, on the contrary,
Strengthened himself up, and smile,
caused either by the irritation of the
clerk or by 4 chance thought of his
own, broke over his face. The hall
| boy, who was running to obey the sum-
mary command OF the clerk, was stop
ped by 4 backward nod of the head,
and the words: an attend to this!''
The young man then proceeded down
the hall towards the door, and came
within view Of the bundle, which prov
ell to he a boy of six or seven years of
age.
The child was sitting bolt upright,
fast as.rep, with his little legs. stiff
from the cold. cXtended straight out
| along the floor. and his hands clasped
| together in friendly embrace in his lap.
His hat, which had fallen from his
head, lay beside him, and his lone wet
hair hung straight down over his face,
almost shutting cut from view tn,
closed eyclids. The little fipnre was
rigid, and the Young man stood for one
moment in absolute amazemcnt, as he
realized the suddenness with which
this forsakcn waif of the streets had
found repose in sleep.
lie had been accustomed to seeing
these boys about the great city, in all
places and at all hours Of the night,
finding shelter wherever they could.
and had never given them 4 single scri-
oCs thought. Now, as he stood there
in the quietude of that night looking
down on that little, silent. storm-bcaten
figure. a realization of the extremes of
life seemed to burst upon him. He
dropped into a chair, his first impulse

'There are plenty of societies for
them," continued the clerk; "this pro-
miscuous giving only paupcrizcs
them"
"We all need lift sometimes. over
hard places. This problem of helping
the poor has never yet been solved,
and never will be until there is more
practice of the comradeship and broth
erhood of which we hear so much.
Every one believes in the theory; it is
beautiful to talk about. but how many
live it?'
"What would you have? Society
divided in, two classes, the summer
and the slummed?''
"That might be preferable to the
two classes into which it is divided at
present. Moral support is what the
poor need not so much money as
friends and friendly advice. Some one
to put them on their feet, and stand by
them until they are strong enough to

was attracted to small figure in the
shelter OF doorway. lie stopped in
tuitively, and walking towards it, rec
ognized the boy from whom he had
parted fifteen minutes before.
lie looked at him in specchless sur

The boy, young as he was, realized
the suspicion with which he was re-
garded.
''Please. sur!" he exclaimed, eagerly,

still made no remark. '''Deed, sur, it's
true, dead true. See-here's Jimmie's
coat; he left it fur me, and l wuzn't
hungry, an he amt had nothin ter eat

He unwrapped a ragged old coat
from about his bare legs, and held it
up in triumph.
"'Deed, sur, We kin 90 an see!''

The young man resumed his strug
gle through the snow. The night had
lost all it's tcrrors for him. His mind,
absorbed in the whirl of ideas s, il,
action by this second meeting, left Lin
unconscious of the elements. He
thought only of the light and happi-
ness those few pennies had brought out
of the storm and darkness, and to one
who had long been in the habit of
squandering large sums in pleasures
that did not please and amusements
that did not amuse was revelation.
Suddenly he stopped. His face
turned unconsciously upward, as

light out of the blackness of the heav-

to his sides, as he started ahead again,
