Her Idea Of Worth.

A Canadian minister had just married
couple. The registers were signed, and
nothing remained but the giving and TAX
ing of the fee. The bridegroom, strap
ping young fellow, asked, How much is
it2" .-,, .,,.
The parson glanced at the smiling bride
and slyly answered, whatever you think
it's WORTH
Now, it should have been worth good
deal, for the girl was young and pretty.
II reckon it's worth about 80 cents, said
the swain, holding out two quarters.
The Clergyman looked blankly at the
coins, then turned to the fair one. "Ill
leave 1t to you, madam" he said. "What
do you think it's WORTH"
What did this young and blushing bride
dor She reached out, took the coins, hand
cd one quarter to the minister and put the
other into her pocket.
"A thrifty wife," said the Canadian
with sigh, ais her husband s crown. -

SENATOR FRYE INTERVIEWED.

Declares He VIII Vote to Seat NJ. g..
..... Quay in the Senate.
New York, April 26.-In an inter-
view last night Senator Frye. of Maine,
said In response to queries: 1.-THE
Coshlan incident may result unpleas-
antly to Captain Coghlan, but have
no idea that war with Germany will
be the outcome. II Germany should
wage war on the United States she
would lose her best customer and
would have a revolution on her hands
at home within six months. be-
lieye that Speaker Reed intends to re-
sign. l believe Mr.. Reeds retirement
is actuated solely by a desire to Inn
prove his financial condition, and he
thinks there Is better chance to do
80 in New York than in Maine. Still,
l won't say that Mr.. Reed has not
also political anchor to windward,
and realizes that New York offers
many opportunities for political pre-
ferment. About the coming presi-
Dental campaign, l have not given it
much attention. In my opinion Bryan
will be nominated by the Democrats.
1t is my belief that the issues of the
war will be the features in the next
presidential campaign. What will the
senate do in relation to Quay? l can't
speak for all the senators, but know
shall vote to seat Mr.. Quay"

RUSSIAN INTRIGUE IN KOREA.

Iva Prevtn6e OF the Gear.
Vancouver, ,. G.. April 2e.-Tha
steamer Empress of China. wbich ar-
rived here yesterday morning from
Hong Kong AND Yokohama. hes on
board several Chinese refugees. who,
like Kians Yu' Wei, have been COM
PEELED to leave Japan.
Korean advices say the emperor has
leased three ports in eastern Korea to
a Russian whaling company. The con-
cession In each case is 700 meters in
length and $50 in width.
There has been another disturbance
In the Korean cabinet. Two ministers
were driven out Of Office and banished
for terms Of ten and twelve years, re-
spectiyely. The incident was due to an
intrigue of Lady ON, the favorite mis-
tress of the Korean emperor. She has
SO completely entrapped the emperor
that he is puppet in her hands. Rus
STA had, by some means or other, Sc
cured her sympathy. The two dis
graced ministers, 1t appears, did not
know this, and imprudently rejected
the demands Of the st. Petersburg
government in connection with whal-
ing privileges for Russian subjects.
The upshot Of the affair was that Rus
STA appealed to Lady ON. who lectured
the emperor. The emperor listened,
burst forth into terrible wrath and Or
dered the two ministers out of the
cabinet into exile.
Though nothing remarkable appears
on the surface, keen struggle Is be-
ing steadily waged In Korea between
Russia and Japan. 1t is expected that
Korea will be practically Russian
province before long.

summer and FELTON,.

In the days Of their great intimacy
certain grotesqueness Of taste In Sumner
made him the object Of some good natured
banter on the part of the other Mutuals,"
says Mrs Julia Ward Howe in The At.
lantic. It was related that on q certain
Fourth Of July he had given his office boy,
Ben, small gratuity and had advised him
to pass the day at Mount Auburn, where
he would be able to enjoy quiet and profit
able meditation.
FELTON, was especially merry over this
incident, but he in turn furnished occasion
for laughter when on visit to New York
In company with the same friends. A
manservant whom they had brought with
them was ordered to carry Felton's valise
to the Astor House. This was before the
days Of the baggage express. The man
arrived late in the day, breathless with
fatigue, and when questioned replied,
Faith, went to all tho oyster houses in
Broadway before I could find you"

Danger Of Piano Practice.

DR.. Waetzold, says LIE journal d'Hy-
giene, thinks that the chloroses and neu-
roses from which so many young girls
suffer may be largely attributed to the
abuse Of the piano. 1t is necessary, says
the author, to abandon the deadly habit Of
compelling young girls to hammer on the
keyboard before thoy are 15 or 10 years Of
age Even at this age the exercise should
be permitted only to those who are really
talented and are possessed Of robust
temperament.
DR.. Waetzold shows that out of 1000
young girls studying the piano before the
age Of u years 800 were afflicted with
nervous troubles later on, while the num-
Der having affections Of this kind was only
200 for those who commenced the study Of
the piano at q later age, and only 100
were affected among those who had never
touched this instrument. The study of
the violin produces even more disastrous
results than those attributed to the piano.

The Fire Hose In Church.

The fire department was called upon the
other night to fill the baptismal pool at
the First Baptist church. The hose wagon
from No. went to the church, and a line
of hose was run to the pool from the plug

There were nine candidates for admis-
sion to tho church that night, but when
tho flooring of the pulpit above the pool
was removed it was discovered that there
was no water in it, The janitor had eli
ther failed to fill the pool or had not been

key to the water spout, could not be

Eawerd OSWALD Killed His wife NJ
Child and Attempted Suicide.
Camden, N. J., April 26.-One Of the
most horrible tragedies ever recorded
in the annals of crime in this city was
committed yesterday morning In a lit
tie two story frame house at No. $50
Jefferson avenue, when Edward o.
valid stabbed his wife Mary and g.
year-old daughter uGussie to- death
while they slept. Ne then attempted
suicide by cutting his throat with the
same weapon with which be dealt his
wife and child the death blows.
John Williams, a young coiored man
living in the house adjoining the Os-
wald home, was awakened by cries Of
murder He broke open the door of
the Oswald house and 9-year-old Edna
Oswald ran out, closely pursued by her
father, who carried large butcher
knife. Williams picked up the child
and ran with her until he found AL
officer. When they returned to the
house Oswald was found under a bed
with his throat cut. The attempt OF
suicide, however, was not successful,
and at the Cooper hospital, where o.
wald was taken, the physicians state
that he will live to lawfully pay the
penalty of his terrible crime, which
was the result of jealousy.

why Trade Leaves England.

Here is little story with moral which
has been enforced several times lately. Tt
illustrates the suspicion and apathy Of the
English manufacturer. Some time ago an
Oxford professor wrote TO number Of
English firms for some samples of essen
tial oils to assist him in prosecuting GER
tain researches, the results of which would
be distinctly beneficial to the firms them
selves. His request was treated with dis.
dain In nearly every case. Writing, how
ever, to well known firm In Germany,
he received in few days time nearly 70
small BOTTLES Of the rarest oils known
(worth In all about ESQ., with the firms
good wishes. 1t is the London correspond
emit Of the Manchester Gazette who tells
the story.

Relief For jacobs Victims.

Washington, April 26.-The internal
revenue bureau has in course of prepa-
ration a circular letter to collectors in
which they are directed to forward to
the bureau all applications for relief
from innocent holders Of cigars
stamped with counterfeit stamps and
purchased from Jacobs, the Lancaster
(Pa.) cigar manufacturer recently ar
rested. II is probable that innocent
dealers who have actually paid for tho
cigars will be permitted 10 retain them
on condition that they restamp them.
Cigars not paid for will be sold for the
government. It is not thought that
Jacobs has been able to use counter
felt stamps in excess of $4,000 or ST."

Fxol0Ag LIE.
The oausss that prolons life beyond mild.
die age are some Of them beyond the con.
troll Of the individual, The inheritance Of
sound organs from rugged ancestry ID an
example Of this kind.
Yet II 10 easy for one Of middle ageito
precipitate prernaturely the season Of old
, age, WHILE on the other hand, a reasonable
modification Of the habits of life may long
extend the period Of active usefulness.
The man of advancing years should con-
tinue to indulge In bodily exercise, but in
moderation and not Immediately after
meals
- Less food should be eaten as the "fres
more slowly burn" II one would avoid
premature old age The act Of eating
should be more slowly performed, and
even an occasional indulgence to excess in
the pleasures of the table should be avoid
cd.
The sage of Concord, whose philosophy
was practical as well as "tmnscendental,
found In late life "little' food and often"
to be the safe rule. A well,known Amor
lean physician considers 1t Of benefit to-
miss a meal occasionally. The number of
meals should be less rather than greater,
he believes, and red meat should be
eaten In great moderation--not more than
once a day. twill be seen that the phi
losopher and the physician are at one in
this-that less food Is needed aftor middle
age. At any age incorporate eating rath-
or than Incorporate drinking is the COM
mon sin against bodily health.
In regard to the use Of alcoholic stimu-
lants as conservators of vitality, 1t must
be said that they have no value US such.
II used at all, 1t must be In small quanti-
ties and we'll diluted with hot water and
even so they generally do harm rather
than good. Hot water Ia In itself slim
ulant of no mean value, and to those adj
dioted to the practice Of slowly sippinga
glassful once or twice a day it has proved
to he In every respect beneficial.
1t may be said that the watery clement
Of hot tea, which few condemn II properly
made, commonly receives too little share
Of credit.
Unnecessary worry is sometimes in
dulged in because but few hours Of sleep
are possible in later life. Less work re-
quires less sleep, and physical labor re-
,qnires more sleep than mental work. On
the other hand, long hours Of sleep, COM
bined1with heavy eating, directly promote
carly old age
Sensible rules of hygiene and temperate
living in it's broad sense tend to increase
the enjoyments Of life as we'll as the length
Of it. The cultivation Of the habit Of
avoiding worry, while not usually includ-
ed among hygienic rules, is hardly exceed
ed in Importance by any other.
Cheerfulness and hopefulness are among
the physicians most valuable allies. Not
only are they sometimes decisive in crit
zeal stages Of disease, but they have d.
rect and constant influence in postponing

II have given the matter no eonsidera-

would then have to run his chances
