Introducing His Fiancee.

There is doubt in some mans mind
very often as to when he should make
known to his people the girl he hopes
to marry. In some cases he prefers that
they should become acquainted before
the die is cast and he has bound him
self to her for better, for worse, by a
promise. At other times he has a Ger
tain diffidence about introducing them
to each other till they know i'll what pc
sition she is TO stand toward himself,
and the result is that he is a little be-
wildered. Perhaps in many ways it is
more comfortable for a girl to know his
people before she is presented to them
as a future relative. But circumstance
often render this out of the question,
and then there is only n correct form
of proceeding.
Where his people and hers live in the
came place his family must call upon
her as soon as they are informed OF the
engagement. If they live at a distance,
they should at once write, welcoming
her as a future relative, and it is usual
where possible to invite her to stay with
them and make their acquaintance.
When this is done, it is a more COM
PORTABLE plan on both sides If the fance

Not His Province.

The New England ministers Of early
days were expected to preserve an as
pect grave to the verge of solemnity on
all occasions, not only OH Sundays, but
week days as we'll. If they possessed a
sense of humor, it sometimes made it
self evident ever in the midst of devo-
tional exercises.
One New Hampshire parish was
guarded and guided by a quaint speaking
elderly man, who had a slight lisp. He
was fond of outdoor work of almost
every sort and was an able farmer as
well as preacher, but all domestic mat
tiers he relegated to his wife.
One day the old travelling baker see
ing the minister at work in the field.
drew rein, and when the jingling of his
horse's bells had subsidized he called out,
"Any crackers wanted today, parson?"
The minister raised his head and sur
veyed the baker from under his shaggy
eyebrows. No smile of greeting crossed
his solemn face.
"Abraham in the field, " he responded
gravely. "Tharah (Sarah) in the tent, +"
and without another word he resumed
his hoeing and left the baker to digest
his Biblical reproof and drive on to the
house to find out if "Sarah" would buy
any of his wares youths Companion.

Alex. Yule has started a lumber yard
in the lower part of town. He furn-
ishes all kinds of rough dimension

you want anything for the mine or

Judge Bennett has moved his law

so far to the bank. Hence the removal

The L. o. T. NJ. entertainment of last

Handwriting of Dumas.

Both the Dumas hands were those
of busy men, but the elder Dumas could
60 on forever; he stopped to pune
tuate. One of his literary canons was
that a clear style punctuates itself.
There is q good deal in this. The son
never missed "a comma, semicolon, colon
or full stop. He had not the fathers
facility, which resembled a tropical
vegetation at the end of the rainy sea-
son.
The younger Dumas beat his brains
terribly and forced them to bring forth
plays. Nothing can be more refined than
his handwriting. The original manu-
scripts of his plays are scarcely legible,
the corrections and erasures being so
numerous. But he did not let the copy
is: or indeed any stranger see them,
but rewrote and added pungent and
pregnant sentences as he did so. The
first thoughts of some authors are the
best they were the worst of Dumas fills
unless when he was answering a letter

of steel responding to flint. Sparks few.

Queer signature to a Check.

gested as he resumed looking over his
mail. p
"Well. yes, they are more frequent
than l wish they were. One Of the most
singular instances was a case where a.

of his own. And he was the president
of one of our leading colleges too."-

The Antarctic Region.

1t is a curious fact that while enor-
NOUS sums of money and property of
great value have been appropriated and
used in exploring the more northerly por-
tions of this globe little or no attention
has been given TO the extreme southern
part. Of late, however, the eyes of ex-
plorers have been turned antarcticward,
and expeditions are being sent ont to
determine various debatable questions
that have arisen concerning this coun-
try. No human foot, as far as known,
has ever approached nearer to the south
pole than 720 miles. The ice is said to
far exceed that found at the north pole,
and greater difficulties are apprehended
than arctic explorers have ever encoun
tered. Vegetation ceases at about So de-
grees, no man has yet been met with
south of 56 degrees, and the country is
destitute of land animals south of IS
degrees. Mountains with towering
peaks have been discovered, and volca-
noes are thought to be numerous.
Whether the intense heat of the latter
may exert any influence upon the eli
mate in their vicinity is a question of
interest to the scientific world.-New
York Ledger.

"Slug Religion"

The religious editor" in one of the
local newspaper offices came rushing
through the EDITORS room one day, hel
proofs flying like ribbons from both
hands, which she held up in horror.
She was a new member on the staff.
Plainly she was excited.
"See there" she said to the editor
in chief. "Just look at that"
She threw the curls of paper upon
his desk, put her finger Oh a spot and
glared.
"And look at that, and that, and
that.
She pointed at other spots.
"What is it?" asked the chief, study
ing the spots.
"Why, slug religion Somebody has
written at the head of every paragraph

ers have printed it too. Think if it had
gone i'll the paper. l won't stay

Her Pathetic Contrast.

1t is not in the saying of pungent
things or even witty things that chill
dren become interesting, and this is why
SO often the glimpses of children we
have given us are so unsatisfactory. 1t
is the utterance of things that have a
heart of pathos that makes the talk of
little ones so wonderful.
A lady standing between two beds at
a children's hospital not long ago upon
the occasion of a small feast opened con-
versation with one of the patients by
saying:
"What have you had, dear?"
"The pleurisy, ma'am," came the
answer.
"And what has this little girl had?''
"She's had cake, ma'am."
This ma be the sort of thing you
smile at while your throat tightens, but
if you are a woman the heart of love il
you is taken captive. New York Led

A Letter from Belt.

Special correspondence of the HERALD.
The concert given last evening by the
Harmonic Society in honor of St.
the patton saint of Wales, drew a
large house and was a financial success.
The chorus singing was good, "Com-
rades in Arms" and "Harlech War" be-
ing exceptionally fine. Dan Evans was
without question the bright particular
star of the evening both in solo and
chorus singing. He has n wonderful
voice and will yet be heard of outside of

and received the prize for its excellency.

of ten dollars. Recitation, "The Leper"
by N. 2. Willis rendered by Lillian
Greenwood marvelously we'll, and was
entitled to the prize ten to one, but for
some unknown reason, the purse was
awarded Mr.. Hay against the sentiment
of nearly the entire house. That good
old plantation melody, "Kentucky
Home" brought down the house. Mr.,
Thomas arranged quite a spectacular
scene out of it. The back curtains OF
the stage were drawn ut the closing cho-
rus revealing an aged lady weeping.

The Water Lily.

Almost everybody has observed the
strange characteristic of the water lily
bud opening its petals at sunrise and
closing them again at sunset. 1t was
for this reason mainly that the ancients
held the water lily sacred to the sun.
Pliny says: at is reported that in the
Euphrates the flower of the lotus plunges
into the water at night, remaining there
till midnight, and to such a depth that
it cannot be reached with the hand.
After midnight it begins gradually to
rise, aud as the sun rises above the
horizon the flower also rises above the
water, expands and raises itself some
distance above the element in which it
grows" 1t was also through this Pc
culiarity that Hancarville proved that
the Egyptians considered the lily an
emblem of the world as it rose from the
waters of the deep, -Pittsburg Dispatch.

When Longfellow Came to Cambridge.

In 1886, when Lowell was a sopho-
more, Mr.. Longfellow came to Cam
bridge, a young man, to begin his long
and valuable life in the college. His
presence there proved a Benediction
and, l might say, marks an epoch in the
history of Harvard. In the first place,
he was fresh from Europe, and he gave
the best possible stimulus to the bud-
ding interest in German literature. In
the second place, he came from Bow
doin college, and in those days it was a
very good thing for a Harvard under
graduate to know that there were peo-
pie not bred in Cambridge quite as we'll
read, as intelligent, as elegant and ac-
complished as any Harvard graduate.
In the third place, Longfellow, though
he was SO young, ranked already dis
tinctly as a man of letters.
This was no broken winded minister
who had been made professor. He was
not a lawyer without clients or a doc
tor without patients, for whom "a
place. had to be found. He was already
known as a poet by all educated people.

.mer.cau Drug shops.

During the avJntecnth century the
druggist are to .Anierica and closely
followed English precedents. modifying
them, however, by the praUure of the
Indians with whom he came in contact.
Quack apotheearies began to spring up
in the new land, and in 1886 the colo
ny of Virginia passed a law which
among other things regulated the prices
and fees of the druggist. At this time
it was fashionable for the druggists to
practice surgery i'll addition to pharma-
cy, and the Virginia colony contained a
large number of people who were prof.
cient in both professions. In Massachu-
sets the business was largely i'll the
hands of Indians, schoolmasters, old
women and teachers. The Salem witch
craft delusion retarded the spread of the
druggist for some time in the Bay State,
for the popular impression fastened on
the apo~thecaries a suspicion that they
sold the potions that were supposed to
produce the spells. Among those who
suffered persecution at this time mixers
of medicine appear to have been promi-
nent.
The drug shop had not yet become a
distinct institution. 1t was usually a
branch of the grocery or spice business.
In 1647 n Giles Forman of Boston
had, however, firmly established him
self as devoting special attention to
pharmacy. In 1916 the first distinctive
drug store i'll America was opened in
Boston by William Davies. No doubt
more reliance vas placed on drugs then
than now, when people are beginning
to recognize the large part that fresh
air, dietetics and other hygienic meas
ures play in the successful treatment of
disease. -Lippincott's Magazine.

The Money Making Game.

The first Of all English games is
making money. That is an all absorb
ing game, and we knock each other
down oftener i'll playing at that than at
football or any other rougher sport, and
it is absolutely without purpose. No
one who engages heartily in that game
ever knows why. Ask a great money
maker what he wants to do with his
m~oney-he never knows. He doesn't
make it to do anything with it. He gets
it only that he may get it. "What will
you make Of what you have got?' you
ask. well, I'll get more" he says.
Just as at cricket you get more runs.
There's no use in the runs, but to get
more of them than other people is the
game. And there's nc use i'll the money,
but to have more of it than other peo-
pie is the game. So all that great foul
city of London there-rattling, growl-
ing, smoking, stinking-a CHASTITY heap
of fermenting brickwork, pouring out
poison at every pore-you fancy it is a
city of work? Not a street of it! 1t is a
great city of play; very nasty play, and
very hard play, but still play. 1t is
only Lords cricket ground without the
turf-a huge billiard table without the
cloth, and with pockets as deep as the
bottomless pit, but mainly a billiard
table after all.-John Ruskin.

At the Queen.

The rich strike in the Queen of the
Hills, reported last week has proved it.
self worthy Of all the praise given it by
the last weeks HPRALD. The cross. cut
finished shows a VEN 20 feet wide,
three feet of which is high grade. The
remainder of the vein is low in ASSAY
value, but all Of it is ore, ranging from
10 to Is ounces CT silver per ton, offer
ing one of the finest concentrating prop
ositions to be found anywhere. The
walls are straight and well defined, and
thu ore is easily handled. They have
taken out a carload Of the ore from only
seven feet of a drift and they send out
their first shipment today.
There are now 81 men on the Queen
pay roll, and additions are being made
from time to time rs room is found fol
them.
We have seen some specimens of ore
from the new strike, and to say they alo
superfine does not fully express the
truth. One block Of ore raised this
week weighed SIG pounds. The char
acter is sulphide of silver and lead, Will

The following is recommended as a
cure for sleeplessness: "Wet a half
towel, apply it to the back of the neck,
pressing it upward toward the base Of
the brain, and fasten the dry half of the
towel over so as to prevent the too rapid
exhalation. The effect is prompt and
charming, cooling the brain and induc-
ing calmer, sweeter sleep than any mar
cotic. Warm water may be used, though
most persons prefer cold. To those who
suffer from overexcitement of the brain,
whether the result of brain work or
pressing anxiety, this simple remedy
has proved an especial boon. New

A Godsend.

The Kenna5ec Journal tells this story
about a Maine man named Godsend
Lufkin: "His grandfather died before
he was born, leaving in trust a large
property to the first grandson, then I'M
born. None of his four IONS were at the
time married, but they hustled around
and soon removed that impeachment.
This queer named individual was the
first grandson of the old gentleman to
make his appearance on earth, and his
mother remarked to the clergyman at
the baptism that he was a godssnd. The
clergyman, understood that was to be
the name and 30 christensd him."
