there was mischief in the wind, for
nothing caused these old time Hibernian

their betters settle a question without
either court martial or fight. Talk

and the orderly was distributing letters

was not, decrepit; the other that he
knew very well that the majority CT
persons who helped him did so in or

so. This to him was revolving. Stand
ing opposite the Apsley house, in the
evening, in Piccadilly, when the street
was even more crowding than 1t is
now, the duke was hesitating on the
curbstone. A gentleman, nearly as
old as himself, made some demonstra-
ton of assisting him to cross the road,
~endeavoring to check the tide of cabs
and other vehicles that was setting
strongly. When the duke reached the
gate Of Apsley house he touched his
hat and said, II thank you, sir" The
elderly stranger Immediately uncover

addressed the duke as follows: "My
lord, / have passed a long and not I'm

reach the day when / might be Of the

him calmly, and, in a voice not the
least choked by emotion, replied:

height in their fifteenth year, they nc-
quire full weight at the age OF twenty.
Boys are stronger than girls from birth

There is a s%isterhood in France that
resembles the famous Trappists' order
in its austerity. These women, when
they enter the convent, are condemned
to eternal silence. 1t Is the only sis
terhood Of the kind in the world, and
was founded at the beginning OF the
present century. The fifty women
within the wall never leave their
chosen home, never speak to n an
other, never lift their eyes except in
prayer or work, and walk with their
black cowls drawn over their faces SO
that they can neither see nor be seen.
They are living, yet dead-year in and
year out they exist, eve raising their
eyes. The silent sisters rise at 4 a.
M, and till 1880 tell their beads in the
chapel. Sometimes while at meals the
superior rings a bell and each sister is
supposed to pause instantly, with hands
raised to the mouth, perhaps, and can
not move till the bell rings again. This
is to inculcate submission and pa
thence. These women, unlike other sis-
tefhoods, do no charity.

Nine of the most staid and respect

the st. Louis Globe-Democrat, and

ISOLATION, wherein the food question is
settled upon a cooperative basis.
Burton Is a small village without any
immediate prospect Of growing larger.
The size of the town does not warrant
the location OF d bakery, and all the
wheatstuff must be bought from the

Of the limited population there is a
very small supply of hired help, even
smaller than the limited demand. The
heavy burdens Of the household fall
upon the housewife alone, and very
little social intercourse can be enjoy

insure a reliable, orthodox reputation;
the association has enrolled among its
members bankers, merchants, drug
gists and a representative preceptor
and dominic. The practical advantages
Of the club may be noted as follows:
First, the saving Of from fifteen to
twenty-five hours of Kitchen worry
per week. Second, the providing of
w~ell-cooked and well-served meals,
ranging in cost from TX cents to 9
cents per meal. 1t may be we'll to note
that low rents ($S per month for an

per month, with use of house and with
board for herself and family of three
children) may not be duplicated in

Sand Filtration Of Milk.

In several European cities sand Al

country. The filters consist of large

lest, and the finest in the topmost of
the three compartments. The milk en-
tiers the lowest compartment through
a pipe under gravitation pressure, and,
having traversed the layers of sand
from below upward, is carried by an
overflow to a cooler fed with ice water,
whence it passes into a cistern, from
which it lie directly drawn into locked
cans for distribution. Milk thus treat
ed is not only free from dirt, but the
number Of bacteria is reduced to about
one-third. In new milk the loss OF
fat Ia said to be very slight. but the
quantity of mucus and Shiny matter
retained in the sand Is surprising. The
sand is renewed each time the filter Is
used.-Medical News.

The manufacturers of Castoria nave been
compelled to spend hundreds of thousands OF
dollars to familiarizet the public with the Sig

necessitated by reason Of pirates counterfeit

generation. All persons should be careful to
see that Castoria bears the signature Of Chas.

FLOWERS.

The rose of England is nothing
more than the wild rose. The York
rose was white, the Tudor the red or
pink wild rose.
The thistle was chosen by Scotland
because according to tradition during
a night attack made by some Danes
one Of the invaders trod on a thistle,
gave a cry of pain and walked the
sleepers, who saved themselves.
One could scarcely call the leek a
flower and the Welsh do not know
how it came to be associated with their
country. Some date it's adoption as
far back as $40, when Cadwallo de-
feated the Saxons. His men to dis
tinguish themselves wore leeks in their
caps.
Louis VII. Of France was the first
to use the feur-de-lis as his emblem.
He had 1t represented in gold over
the blue mantle of his son Philip,
when the latter a crowned joint
king. The word is probably not fleur-
de-lis or de-luce at all, but fleur-de-
Louis. When 1t became changed the

1t has been suggested by some peo-
pie that our national flower should be
the columbine, which grows wild in
all parts of the Union. The name ma
turally suggests Columbia and Column
bus. There Is really a connection be-
| tween the two. The name Columbus
Colombo in Italian-means dove" and
the columbine receives its name from
the popular idea that 1t looks like a
flock of doves. This form grows wild
in the Rocky mountains. A front view
of the flower shows a fve-pointed star,
a single petal is in the shape OF a
horn of plenty, typical Of our re-
sources, and the short-spurred variety
resembles a liberty cap. The lobes OF
its terminal divisions are thirteen

columbine is either red, white or q
pure blue.

IN JAPAN.

Japanese children have pets as well
as their occidental brothers and sister.
Tiny rabbits and an odd kind of cat
with white fur, black and yellow spots
and no tail, divide their affections. In
many houses are also found aquariums
stocked with beautiful and rarely col
ored fish. The katydid Is likewise a
great pet and specimens are kept In
little bamboo cages. Butterflies are
another ~favorite. In Japan all animals,
birds and insects seem to know they
are safe, for even the wild ones will
alight on ones hand occasionally.
Children have a good time in Japan.
They are blessed by inheritance with a
gentle and cheerful nature; they are
dressed loosely yet warmly; they are
out doors as much as possible and in
side their homes there is so little fur
niture they never stumble over it and
are neve warned against crawling up
on satin brocade chairs or not han
ding the bric-a-brac. The houses are
always open to sun and air even in
cold weather. They are built dove
tailed together, no nails being used,
and are mounted on wooden pillars so
that when an earthquake occurs they
will not tumble down but merely shake
and settle again.
Every Japanese house of p%retensions
has in it's principal Dom a raised plat
form or dais upon which the mikado,
should he by chance ever visit the
house, would sit. 1t is a law that no
subject may look down on the mikado.
A pretty Japanese custom is that Of
making excursions to the country
when the trees bloom to see them. The
Japanese are great flower lovers and
are most fond of the blossoms which
grow on trees. Their love for cherry
blossoms is we'll known. In February
they visit the plum trees; the cherry in
April; the lotus in July; azaleas dur
ing the long summer months and in
the autumn Is the great c~hrysanthe-
mum festival. while in December come
the camellias,
