having had the privilege of seeing the
Carthusians (monks Of the order) at

daughter OF Eve, blessed with even: a
greater share of curiosity than that pos
sessed by the generality of her sex,
who, having heard from her husband
and brother of their late interesting
visit to the monastery, tried by every
means IN her power to effect an entrance
there, but al. to no avail. Determined,
however, by hook OF crook, to succeed,
she at last hit upon the happy idea of
presenting herself there dressed as a

to allow her to do SO, and to take her

the remainder Of the party, but while

to her with a courtly bow, proving that

Temper.

Temper itself is not bad quality. It
is not to be destroyed, as we sometimes
say. Without temper a bar Of steel be-
comes like lead. A man without temper
is weak and worthless. We are to bearn
self control. A strong person is onewho
has strong temper under perfect mas
terry. There is deep truth here-that
our mistakes and our sins, if we repent
of them, will help in the growta, and
upbuilding of our character. er.-House-

CHAN of Chemnitz. The consul's facts
and figures are taken from the recently
published results of an investigation

that compared with American roads

London, April 13.-The difficulty in.

place in Macedonia is partly due to

that the influence of the powers is en-

men, which was besieged by the Greek
