The First Flower Mission.

To the inspiration of Miss Helen w.
Tinkham of Boston, the missions for
the distribution of flowers among the
poor, the sick, and the aged in our
cities owe their origin. Thirty years
ago the first flower mission was
formed, with Miss Tinkham at it's head,
and she has ever since been identified
with the work.
In the spring of 1869 Miss Tinkham
spent few days in the country, re-
joicing in the flowers that burst into
fragrant bloom under the magical
breath of April. Upon returning to
Boston she observed with what wistful
eyes the children playing about the
railroad station viewed the flowers she
brought with her, and how eagerly they
accepted those she offered them. This
incident led her to urge the church
going people to cooperate in collecting
and distributing flowers. A meeting
was held and the work soon started.
Boston is, therefore, the birthplace of
the flower missions, a form of charity
which has extended to every section of
this country and crossed the Atlantic.

FINED FOR CONTEMPT.
Attorney Graves Carries the Case
to the Supreme Court.

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 9.-Ernest
Graves, a we'll known attorney in San
Luis Obispo County. has locked horns
with the Judge of the Superior Court
of that division, Judge Unangst.
Graves had a case before the court a
week or so ago, and he presented an
affidavit in which he set forth that the
Judge was biased. and concluding by
asserting that by reason of the alleged
bias his client would not have a fair
and impartial hearing. Judge Unangst
considered the affidavit as uncalled for
and he fined Attorney Graves $40O for
contempt.
To-day attorneys representing Graves
applied to the Supreme Court for a
writ of certiorari to restrain the lower
court from executing the order of COM
mitment The ground for the applica-
ton is that the lower court had exceed
ed it's jurisdiction. A writ was granted
by the Supreme Court for a stay of
proceedings until the matter of con-
tempt and jurisdiction can be reviewed.

M. CLEMENCEAU.
Declares the Verdict in the Dreyfus
Case an Outrage.

PARIS, Sept. 9.-The bouleyards
have presented an animated scene, but
on the whole the Rennes verdict was
calmly discussed. After dinner crowds
collected in front of the offices of the
''Libre Parole" which were Illuminated
with cheap Venetian lanterns
A number of fellows in a neighboring
cafe started to sing the 'Marseillaise'
and then formed procession which
the police soon dispersed, and the lead
ers of which were arrested and taken
to the station. By IL o'clock the boul-
evards We're deserted.
The representative of the Associated
Press learns on good authority that one
of the members of the Cabinet tonight
told a friend that Dreyfus would prob
ably not have to undergo further im-
prisonment, and that if he was sent to
prison, his place of confinement would
probably be the Isle of St. Marguerite,
near Calais, where Marshal BaZaine
was incarcerated, and whence he es-
capped.
NJ Clemeneeau, in the 'Aurore," says
Colonel Jouaust's object was to save
the general staff, and that between
Dreyfus and Mercier, he selected Mer-
c1er. Inc dIId1r, declares M 1lSiu-
enceau, was scandalously conducted.
Major Carrieres contention that the
prisoner had failed to prove his inno-
cence enabled the court to convict the
prisoner without the evidence of the
petit bleu. He also says he pitied the
men, who by their sentence, inflicted
an outrage and showed the most cul-
pable weakness. Members of the

How to Stop Worrying.

''The usual way people set about stop
ping worrying is a wrong one" writes
Mary Boardman Page in the Septem
ber Ladies' Home Journal THAT is
why it is so unsuccessful. If a doctor
tells patient he must stop worrying,
the patient is likely to say impatiently:
oh, Doctor, don't [ wish that | could!
But / can't. If [ could have stopped
worrying a year ago I would not be i'll
now,'-all of which is probably true.
And the doctor does not always know
how to help him, because both doctor
and patient have an idea that it is inn
possible to repress worry through an
effort of the will. This is mistake.
1t is not possible to repress worry. You
have got to replace it with something
else.

British Antiquarian Discoveries.

An exceedingly interesting antigua
rian find" has been made at Kirkin-
tilloch. While some workmen were
engaged in cleaning the moat at the
Peel a number of ancient stones were
unearthed. The attention of McGreg-
or Chalmers, of Glasgow, was directed
to them, with the result that he has
discovered that some bear undoubted
traces of Roman architecture. They
are distinctly marked by diagonal lines
and other markings peculiar to Ro-
man artisans, and had been used, it is
believed, in the construction of a
fort in the Antonine wall Other stones
bear markings, etc, which show them
to be of the medieval period, and are
believed to belong to Comyn's Castle,
which was demolished by King Rob-
ert the Bruce. The Burgh Commits
sioners of Kirkintilloch have resolved
to raise private subscriptions in order
to defray the expense of a complete
and thorough investigation by experts.
On Monday last the chalk diggers
at Bailey, White & Co.'S works at
Swanscombe, Kent. found a human
skeleton imbedded in the limestone.
1t was that of short. very thick set
man, and the men in the laboratory,
who have some experience of these
finds, think he was probably a Roman.
A careful search was made for coins
or weapons or anything that could give
a clew to the period or nationality Of
the skeleton, but nothing was found
except some flints, rudely shaped with
some kind of splitting or chipping i'm
plement. The skeleton must have
been where it was found for many
hundreds of years. 1t was found in
the heart of a chalk hill which had
been excavated before.-Pall Mall Ga

Copenhagen is entirely given over to

complete possession of the city, which
just now is looking lovely. The streets
are thronged with riders, a large pro-
portion of whom are women, and they
ride, as a rule, exceedingly well, but
far too quickly to be altogether safe

quite candid, the police regulations re-
garding cyclists in Copenhagen leave
much to be desired, and the non-cycling
part of the population complain bitterly
of the danger and inconvenience caused
by reckless riding of a kind which
would not be tolerated in London or

The automobile has the same kind of
a fight before it that the bicycle and
the electric railway have had for their
rights on the public highways. While
at Chicago and many other places the
streets and parks have been opened
after some opposition, yet in number
of cities self-propelled vehicles are still
refused admission to the public drives
and parks. 1t would be reasonable for
these Commissioners to oppose these
vehicles during experimental trials,
while undergoing tests or in time COM
petitions, as depriving others of their
rights; but to bar out owners of auto
mobiles, whose carriages have proved
their excellence and awakened the adj
miration of an interested public, is to
assume an arrogance not considered
