Two New England Churches

There are Catholic communities, both
in America and in the old world, says
Alvan F. Sanborn in The Atlantic,
where an extreme wretohedness in the
dwellings is at once partially explained
by the richness and beauty of the
churches. But not so in Dickerman. On
the contrary, both the Dickerman
churches are Of piece with their sur
roundings. The Congregational church,
more than century old (Orthodox ia
the name it still goes by), was a worthy
structure in it's day and would be SO yet
had it been kept in good repair. Alas,
it is only the ghost of it's former preten-
tious self. Its stills are badly rotted. Its
spire and belfry have been shattered by
lightning and imperfectly restored. Its
roof is leaky, the clapboards of its walls
are warped and blistered, and its heavy
bell, once sweet of tone, is cracked and
dissonant. The Baptist church, built
only few years ago, mainly at the ex-
pense of church building society, is
one Of the shoddily constructed many
gabled atrocities due to the malign in
f1uence of the SO called Queen Anne
restoration. It's original coat of paint
Of many colors has mostly soaked into
the surrounding soil. Its panes Of stain
ed glass, as they have been broken from
time to time, have been replaced by or
binary window glass, with piebald un-
canny results.

The English dislike of Commerce.

We believe that the English, who are
in continental opinion nation of shop
keepers, are not by instinct or by aspira-
ton trading people at all, or even an
industrial one. They are a seafaring
people by tendency, and as the sea pro-
duces nothing they are compelled to
trade, and circumstances have driven
them into the industrial life, but their
proclivity is toward struggle Of any
kind, and not, except as an incident i'll
that struggle, toward the making of
money. 1t was quite late in their his
tory that they recognized trading as
their vocation, and much later still that
they surrendered the notion that to be
trader, whether merchant or manufac-
turer or dealer in money, was to be
comparatively base person. Till with
in the last few years all historians
thought economics rather unworthy
subjects of their pens, and the social
distinctions drawn against industry
were of the most CALLING character. In.
deed. they have not disappeared yet, the
contempt which was once felt for the
meFCuduU duu Inc UduA6r D0luB sG1l1 en-
tertained for the distributor, though he
often combines both functions. The
great industrial is still hardly reckoned
on par with the great agriculturist,
and the shopkeeper of any kind is still
placed far below any sort of professional.
Money, 1t is true, is now almost the
only source of irresponsible power, and
those who possess it begin, like the
powerful in all countries and ages, to
be highly regarded, but the grandson of
a Tottenham Court road peer would
much rather his peerage had been ac-
quired in battle or by chicane than out
of a shop, however large. Even the cap
tains of industry, who are like the old
barons in many respects, are not thought
of as quite their equals, and the greatest
of railway builders, say the late Mr..
Brassey, is not placed on the level Of a
great agriculturist, say the late Mr..
Coke of Norfolk The state has honored
both, but the popular sentiment, which.
and not the state, settles what Greeks
are like, condones, rather than delights
in, the action of the state The difference
is disappearing, but it dies hard. Lon

Princes Five Shilling Piece.

The Prince of Wales was one day in
an elementary school on his Sandring-
ham estate, and in his usual genial way
held up shilling piece, saying:
II will give this to the scholar who
can tell me the difference between him
or her and myself. !"
After pause bright looking little
lad stood up and said:
II think can, sir y
well. " was the princes reply,
what is it, my boy?"
II am waiting for your crown, sir,
and you are waiting for your mothers. -
Needless to add, he got the money
and amused the prince immensely.

English folk are copying the Ameri-

An enterprising man in Maine catches
frogs in the ponds and boys and sends
them to the cities for epicures. A large
hook is used, with the barb filed off.
The point is flied so that it is just
sharp enough to go through the frog S
mouth. The man throws out his hook
and line baited with piece of red
flannel The frogs seem crazy to bite a
piece of red flannel, and there is no
trouble whatever in catching them if
the weather is lowering. The frogs are
shipped in wire crates alive, being
sprinkled on the way and placed in a
pond made for the purpose on arriving
at their destination.

SHE GAVE HER HEART TO ME.

Cupid, one day, in idle quest,
Fitted dainty dart
And aimed it at Priscilla's breast,
To strike Priscilla's heart.
Clean through it went; no heart was
there.
Said Cupid, 81 believe
Priscilla's just the girl to wear
Her heart upon her sleeve"
But there, alack, it was not foundI
''Aha," cried Cupid, "note
Her frightened airl Now, I'll be bound,
Her heart is in her throatr'
Failure again. On slender chance
He one more arrow shoots,
Assuming, from her downcast glance,
Her heart was in her boots.
Fooled, Cupid threw aside his bow.
''She has no heart, said he.
(He did not know that long ago
She gave her heart to mel.

sENsATIoNAL DIVORCE BILL.

SENSATIONAL DIVORCE BILL.
/, A highly sensational divorce bill was
filed in Atlanta, Ga, Tuesday, BY DR..
w. NJ. Durham, oHe of the best known
physicians of the city, and an active Of
ficer of the Georgia College of Electric
Medicine and Surgery. His wife, Mrs.
Arta Brown Durham, is an unusually
handsome woman, and the allegations
against her make highly spicy story.
The fair defendant is widely known at
Miss Aria Brown, eloculionist and
amateur actress.
The petition of DR.. Durham alleges
that his wife mas not only destroyed his
peace aud happiness, but has squander-
ed 500, 900 which repres epted The saw
ings of life time, leaving him a com'
para lively old man, not only heart
broken, but penniless. According TO
DIR. Durham's petition, he and Miss
Arta Brown were married In 1886 AT
that time she was beautiful girl oil
eighteen summers aud he was man OF
middle age. The doctor alleges that
from the start he was q victim OF his
wifs's ungovernable temper, and that
since that time she has made his life mis-
cradle. Of the eight W ars oftheir married
life, Dr.. Durham alleges that his vile
has not spent more Il an six months In
Atlanta, and less than that time in his
home. He sayslshe has repeatedly le'
fused to return to his home. Despite
his entrsaties, it ia alleged, Mrs. Dur
ham has gone to New York and other
northern cities, associatiDg with the,
atrioal people and engaging in perform
ances which he charges are dds
graceful to the character of decent
married woman"
1t is charged that finally she prom
ised to return home and be sent her
money to buy a ticket, but this money,
according to the doctor, was spent by
his young wife in "riotous living" The
petition closes with the allegation
that DIR. Durham has been kind and
loving husband, struggling always to
make his wife contented and happy
and provide her .with.not only the nee
essaries. but with the comforts OF life.
But in return for all this, he claims, he
has received only "broken promises,
blighted hopes and mercenary aztec
tions, until the limit of human patience
has been reached"
a friend of Mrs. Durham said that
Mrs. Durham was forced TO resort IL
stage for livelihood, and charged thai
her husband failed to provide suitable
home for her.
