There was once an lrishman who

about l5 minutes nothing was heard
from him. Then came u strong, deter
mined, deliberate pull on the signal
rope indicating that Pat had very de-

The typical negro tenant arrives Mt

landlord who may have saved him
from dcstitution by advancing provi-

by mortgaging their property have

whose hair has been tightly plated and

Charity In Judging Character.

Hasty Judgment of the actions of 9th
ers is dangerous and often unjust. We
measure too much by some superficial
appearance and condemn hastily, when.
II we but knew and understood the mo-
tivcs and reasons, we would warmly
approve. We sometimes say Of some
one, "That pain, sorrow or loss has not
deeply affected him." But we do not
know. 1t is like the death Of a few Of
the soldiers In front Of a regiment. The
broken ranks close up again into the
solid phalanx, and the loss is not appar-
ent. There may be no disorganization,
no surrender, no craving for pity, no
display Of despair. 1t is like the calm,
dazzling play Of the waves warmed by
the mornings sun after night OF
storm and disaster. There is no sign Of
the wreck. The tide has carried the dc
bris away far out OH the ocean; the
treacherous water has swallowed all
signs and tokens of the nights awful
work. We see only the fairness Of the
morning, not the suffering Of the night.
Let us be charitable in our Judgment
and condemn not when we do not know.

Home Journal.

We owe the introduction Of the silk
worm into Europe to sticks.
Silk was produced in the east, prac.
tically solely in China. When Christian
missionaries penetrated into that strange
land, they heard much about silkworm
breeding AMI the manufacture of silk,
but although they longed to make use
Of such profitable knowledge in their
own countries they were not able to do
so, for the Chinese guarded their val
ued silk industry with the most vigi-
liant jealousy.
To attempt the removal of the cater
pillars or eggs across the nations bor-
der meant death by horrible torture.
Daring adventures there were, but they
met terrible fates. The prize was q
great one, however, and men persevercd.
The popes at Rome offered large re-
wards to any one who could bring them
the much coveted tiny eggs. Two pill
grims at last succeeded in doing so.
They made very small cavity in their
long slaves. conccaling therein a few
eggs. These ragged and dirty wayfarers
awakened but little curiosity, being re-
signedly docile to all formalities of
searching
They trudRed OH cautiously to Rome.
Then they felt safe and laid their sticks,
with their priceless treasures. ut the
feet of the pontiff. From those few eggs
the silk industry was established in Eu-
rope. Strand Magazine.
