SUFFERS WITH APPENDICITIS.

A woman from near Sabatis came
and visit her daughter, who was i'll in
bed, as she said, the other night. The
woman explained that once a week,
as sure as a certain night came around
the daughter was taken Ill and went
to bed with all the symptoms of appen-
dicitis, as soon as supper time came.
The doctor didn't like going out TO Sa-
bats In the cold, but went The wom-
an said that her daughter didn't know
that she was coming in after the doe
tor. She had gone to bed and locked
the door of her room. When they got
there the doctor warmed himself while
the lady went up to tell her daughter
that the doctor was there. In a little
a scared face said that the door was
locked and she could not arouse the
girl. The doctor went up and tried 10
shake open the door, but il would not
shake. So the father of the young
lady put his shoulder to the door and
forced it open. There was no one in
the room and the bed had not been
tumbled. That they were startled is
putting it light. They adjourned to
the kitchen, and finally went out to
search for the girl. Nothing was
found of her, and the next morning
they were talking of it at breakfast
time when down she came from the
bedroom as if she had been asleep in
her bed all night. The CONSERVATION
on their faces showed that she was
found out and she confessed that she
had been doing TO dances once week.
And that instead Of being i'll when she
went to bed, she went out her window.

Primitive Mail Boxes In sweden.

In certain parts Of Sweden, where
the most absolute confidence is re-
posed in the honesty of the people, an
informal postal system Is in vogue. AS
the mail steamer reaches landing
place a man goes ashore with the let
tiers, which he places in an unlocked
box on the pier. Then the passer-by
who expects letter opens the box,
turns over the letters and selects his
own, unquestioned by any one.

Regarding the salaries Of Catholic
priests. the New York Herald says IN
an article treating of the salaries of
clcrgymen: American clergymen OF all
denominations are supported directly
by their congregations, and 1t follows
that the Weather the parlshloncrs the
more salary the pastor Is likely to
receive. TO this general rule, however,
there are some notable exceptions,
Thus, the Roman Catholic priest re-

IL rarely exceeds $500. True, there are
priests laboring In some large cities
whose stlpcnds are much less than
$1,000, and there ere priests in some
exceptionally populOus country districts
who receive much more than $500, but
these are exceptional cases. The

PLEADS FOR RELIGION.
Governor of New Hampshire Urges
the People to Set Aside Day
For PRAYER.

Concord, N. H, April 10.-In his proc
lamation setting apart April 10 as fast
day in this state, Governor Rollins
makes some sensational assertions. After
referring to the origin of the day ne
says:
THE decline of the Christian religions
particularly in our rural communities,
is a marked feature of the times, and
steps should be taken to remedy it. No
matter what our belief may be in re-
ligious matters, every good citizen
knows that when the restraining inf1u-
ences of religion are withdrawn from
community it's decay-moral, mental
and financia1-is swift and sure. To me
this is one of the strongest evidences
of the fundamental truth of Christian
ity.
Il suggest that as far as possible, on
fast day union meetings be held, made
up of all shades of belief, including all
who are interested in the welfare of our
state, and that in your prayers and
other devotions and in your mutual
counsels you remember and consider the
problem of the condition of religion in
the rural communities. There are towns
where no church bell sends forth its SOL
emn call from January to January
There are villages where children grow
to manhood unchriStened. There are
communities where the dead are laid
away without the benson of the name
of the Christ, and where marriages are
solemnized only by justices of the peace.
This does not augur well for the fu-
ture You can afford to devote one day
in the year to your fellow men, to work
and thought and prayer for your chill
dren and your children's children"
