For once, the fashion is distinctly pa
triotic. The tourmaline, in certain re-
spects the most mysterious of all pre-
cious stones, is becoming the rage, and
well it may, for not only is it beauti-
full, but it is still rare, Notwithstanding
the recent discoveries of fresh deposits
at Mount Mica, Me- Tounna1ines are
found in Siberia, in Ceylon and in Bra
zil, but none to compare with the Amer
lean crystals. The most notable thing
about them, is the combination OF colors
in many. Some of the crystals
are red at one end and green at the
other; again, others are green outside,
with a red core. There are also purple
and blue varieties. They are natural
magnets, attracting with one extremity
while repelling with the other.

The Boston press is speaking in very
cordial terms of NJ. Rene Doumic and
his conferences at Cambridge. The Her
aid devoted an impressive editorial to
him, in the course of which it says COM
pairing him with our distinguished
Gallo visitor of last year: He is less
partisan than NJ. Brunetiere, freer to
admit and enjoy all literary schools,
except the stupid. His manner is more
agreeable, and exacts less Of his hear
ers. He lights up his theme with con-
stant play Of wit, and wit that is in
tellectually Illuminating, as well as
laughter moving. He is more purely
Gallic than M. Brunetiere, and with
less Garrisonian Immediate and uncon-
ditional emancipation" blood in him.
Yet, each alike, these eminent, French
critics leave a strong impression on the
American mind what a great thing it
would be for us could we as a people
come to regard our own literature with
tithe of the seriousness and sense of
its profound import to the nation with
which they regard their own
Worcester people who like French are

The annual meeting of the Temper
ance Crusaders of 1874 at the house of

ance on hand in the treasury Mrs.
Helen DeCamp, the secretary, will read
her annual report at the 24th anniYer-
sary meeting, next week.
The following resolutions upon the
death of Miss Willard were adopted:
Whereas, we, the Temperance Cru
saders of 1874, have been called upon to
mourn the loss of our great leader,
Frances r. Willard, who, In the days of
the crusade. so found her heart bound
up in the movement that, contrary to
the advice of her friends and much 60
their regret, gave up her position as
professor and dean of ladies' college,
and Joined our ranks. Her early days
were full of care and work, and often
marked by want of means:
Resolved, that we recognize her as one
of the most remarkable women of her
time--one whose name is known the
world around. She eXemplified in her
life one of her own saying, that ''the
grandest natures are the humblest. /"
The great secret of her success was that
her life was hid with Christ, continually
under His guidance. She achieved won
derful results.
Resolved, that we will ever cherish
its grateful remembrance, her words of
advice and wise counsel given uw in
1874, when she came to US, and by her
wonderful executive ability organized
new methoss for broadening the work
and the workers, and through all the
years, until she crossed over the river
she was the wise counselor and friend.
Resolved, that while the great chief
tain of the temperance army resting
from her labors in the land where her
eyes do now command, the King in His
beauty, the same spirit that animated
us in the days Of the crusade still lives
in us, and as far as we have strength
and opportunity we viii ever use our
influence and work for the suppression
of the saloon, promote temperance leg
islation, rescue those who have fallen
from the use of intoxicants, and incul-
cate in the minds of the young temper
ance principles
Resolved, that while no words of
ours can express our admiration of and
love for her to whom was given the
privilege of doing work no other
woman could do, our hearts are filled
with thanksgiving that to us has been
given the opportunity to be ever In a
small measure a co-worker with her in
the grandest and noblest movement of
the age, the crusade against saloons.

Epworth League of Grace Church had
a social Monday night at the house of
Rev. w. j. Thompson. Miss THOMPSON
had charge, and devised novel enter
tainment, using the leaves of various
trees as the material for amusing her
guests. Thus, as the young people ar
rived they were paired off by>means of
muslin leaves, upon which they after
wards had to write rhymed verses, and
after that there was a conversation
party, with music, still carrying out the
leaf motive. About so members of the
league and friends were there.
Monday evening the teachers of the
Grace Church Chinese Sunday school
gave their pupils social in Burrwood
hall. About so men attended it, From

More Trouble for Uncle Sam.

Foreign bondholders have at last
moved formally to protect their inter
ests in Cuba and Porto Rico The
French embassy has presented most
formidable statement to the state de-
partment, being an account of the var
ious Spanish bonds owned by French
citizens chargeable against these ter
ritorics. The sum total of these bonds
runs up far into the millions. The
U. >. government, of course, will not
pay them, but it may be that the
French government looks to it to cause
the independent government of Cuba
TO assume liability for redemption
OF the bonds when that government is
duly installed. 1t is probable that
other holders of like bonds, German
and British and perhaps even Spanish,
will take similar steps.

Miles Report Hard ON AIrer.

Maj.-Gen Nelson A. Miles has COM
pleted and submitted to the war de-
partment his report covering the en-
tire period of hostilities between the
United States and Spain. Friends of
Gen. Miles who claim to be cognizant
of the contents of the report, say it is
exhaustive in dealing with the minut-
est details, and many things which
have not been clear to the general
public as to the conduct of the war are
fully and comprehensively explained
They say it will be bitter dose for
Secretary Alger to swallow to make it
public. The report practically states
that the muddled condition of matters
relating to the army status is due to
the fact that much information was
given out and was contradicted by the
secretary of war;

And different from the rest.

OF the pie that mother made,
When l came home from school I'd
get
A hunk and in I'd wade.
And, (p'r'aps my mouth is somewhat
large),
Though I'd resort to tears,
She wouldn't give me another piece
Because it mussed my ears.
I've fingered here a lifetime since,
Put up with what l got,
But oft in dreams I'm back again
To that old familiar spot.
And then, at such times, | can find,
On the butt'ry shelf arrayed,
A row Of good old pumpkin pies,
The kind that mother made.

What time the latest flower hath
bloomed,
The latest bird hath southwark
flown;
When silence weaves DER garnered
sheaves
Sweet idyls of our northern zone;
When scattered children rest beside
The hearth, and hold the mothers
hand,
Then rolls Thanksgiving ample tide
or fervent praise across the land.
And though the autumn stiffness
broods
Where spring was glad with song
and stir,
Though summers grace leaves little
On fields that smiled at sight of her,
Still CLOVIS the sunsets altar fire
With crimson flame and heart Of
gold,
And faith uplifts, with strong desire
And deep content. the hymns Of old.
We bless our God for wondrous wealth,
Through the bright benignant year.
For shower and rain, for ripened
grain;
For gift and guerdon, far and near.
We bless the ceaseless Providence
That watched us through the peace
full days,
That led us home, or brought us hence,
And kept us In our various ways.
And If the hand so much that gave
Hath something taken from our
store,
If caught from sight, to heavens pure
light,
Some precious ones are here no
more,
We still adore the Friend above,
Who, while earth's road grows steep
and dim,
Yet comforts us In tender love,
And holds our darlings close to Him.
Thanks, then, o God! From sea to
Let every wind the anthem bear!
AID hearts be rife through toll and
strife,
With joyful praise and grateful pray
er,
Our fathers God, their children sing
The grace they sought through storm
and sun;
Our harvest tribute here we bring,
And end it with, Thy will be done"
