Foreign Missionary.

This is the story of little girl who
never heard of God.
She is nine years old. She was born
and brought up in New York city There
are many such as she within a stone throw
of the City Hall
Three little weeks ago Rev. Dr. Simp-
son raised $113, 900 in one day. He
raised that money in New York city at
two meetings in Carnegie Hall. He gave
it to the Society for Promoting Foreign
Missions. New York city gives hundreds
of thousands of dollars year to that same
Society. 1t all goes to the fund, which
sends an army ofpeople to foreign lands
to convert the heathen every year.
The little girl in this story never heard
of the Foreign Missionary Society.
She is nothing but an American girl,
so no one ever was sent to convert her.
Little Katie Collins is nine years old.
She went on the witness stand in Judge
Gildersleeves Court last week and told
the jury how she saw her father murder
her mother.
Before she went on the stand the Judge
called the little girl to his desk and asked
her if she understood the nature of an
oath:
YES she said, ''it's a bad word
''Do you know who God is p said the
Judge.
"Who q said little Kate Collins
"God, " said the Judge.
''Nope, l dunno him., said little Kate
Collins
s'Did anybody ever tell you you had
soul p said the Judge.
''Nope, [ ain t got none. =
''Do you know where bad people go?''
Yes
"Where?"
ITO the Tombs
''Do you know where you 90 when you
die p
"Yes."
Where Katie p "Out to the GEM
etery.'
And then she went on to tell the hid
eous story of brutal murder, which she
saw with her innocent, frightened, child
ish eyes,
"Mamma is dead, she said. 'Papa
killed her. l saw him do it. l helped
mamma in the house, and when there was
nothing to do played in the street.

Curiosities of the Calendar.

There are some curious facts connected
with the days of the week on which cen
turies and months begin, says writer in
the Baltimore Sun. No century can be-
gin on Wednesday, Friday Or Saturday.
The month of October commences with
the same day of the week as January, ex-
cept in a leap year. September and De-
cember also start on the same weekday,
and so do February, March and Novem-
ber The first day of May, June and
August never fall on the same weekday on
which any other month begins. April and
July always start on the same day of the
week. This year January and October
begin on a Saturday; February, March
and November on Tuesday, April and
July on Friday, September and Decem-
Der on Thursday, June on Wednesday,
May on Sunday, August on Monday.
Leap year, however, always throws this
little arrangement out of gear. Christmas
always falls on the same day of the week
as New Year day, and year always ends
on the same week day as it is started
Next year viii start on Sunday, and
there will thus be ffty-three Sundays in
the year, a thing which happened last in
1893, and occurs only IA times in
century Only very rarely is the num-
Der of year square. In 1S49 it was
the square of 49, The previous occasion
was 1854, the square of AZ, and in 1886
we shall have the square of Al.

She promised to write without fail next
day, and accordingly on the second morn
ing the letter came, addressed somewhat
to Nina surprise, to her husband instead
of herself

Walter, she said, nodding brightly across

Walter opened the letter. which did not
appear to be very long, and as he unfolded
it saw slip of paper which looked uncom-

When Mary knelt alone to pray
That she The Child might worthy bear.

ease that science has been able to cure in al
it's stages and that is Catarrh. Halls Catarrh
Cure is the only positive cure now known to
the medical fraternity. Catarrh being a con-
stitutional disease, requires constitutions al
treatment. Halls Catarrh Cure is taken in

stroying the foundation of the disease, and
giving the patient strength by building up
the constitution and assisting nature in
doing it's work. The proprietors have so
much faith in it's curative powers, that they

Lieutenant Sewall of the U.S.N.
being asked if the sinking of the
Merrimac in the channel at Santiago
would close the harbor for a long
time replied: "Do you know how
long it was before the wreck of the
Venetian was removed?o 1.-TWO
years!' he added "It is very diff
cult thing to remove an iron vessel.
Even if the Spaniards are allowed to
use dynamite without being fired
upon by our vessels, the removal of
the wreck will be very slow progress.
The use of repeated and heavy
charges of dynamite does not seem to
have much effect in loosening he
skeleton, the frame work, and it
would probably be necessary to re-
