Little Syrlans Baptized.

In rough, implanted house at APP
,pleton, Wis, recently crosses and can
dlesticks of solid gold were set up and
two little Syrian children were bap-
tiled into the Greek Catholic church.
The ceremony was performed by the
archimandrate of the Greek church in
America, who came from New York for
the purpose. 1t consisted of the cele-
bration Of high mass in the morning
and the haptismal service in the even
ing. The officiating priest was once a
teacher of Nicholas II, the czar of all
the Russias. He wore four-inch gold
cross studded with diamonds, which
was given him by the ear in recogni-
ton of his services as teacher of Ian
guages. Relatives of the families in
terested from as far as Boston were
present to attend the baptismal sery-

why Mon No Longer Dance.

The Diapers Journal. the leading Or
gan of the trade in the world, has just
completed a searching investigation
into the causes Of the present scarcity
of dancing men. 1t comes to the con-
clusion that the materials now popular
for ball dresses of fashionable women
are largely responsible. These fabrics
and the materials with which they are
trimmed are often SO rough and sharp
that they soon destroy 1.-THE gloss and
perfect condition of well-groomed

Handicrafts That Impress Their Mark

HandicraftS That Impress Their Mark.
Probably sailors and miners are
more impressed by their respective
callings than any other workers, The
sailor, living in great open spaces and
subject to sudden and unforeseen con-
tingencies, is frank to the verge OF
recklessness, but full of prompt re-
source. He usually thinks what he
pleases and says what he thinks with
out chopping logic-the sea molds his
character to it's own moods and wheth-
er these resemble the hard-hitting
of the gale, or the softer tempers of
smooth water, both are frank and free.
The miner, on the contrary, is shap-
ed by his work to face hard facts as he
does hard rock. He finds ways and
means to get through or round both,
exhibiting both physically and men
tally logged obstinacy; hence, min
ers' strikes are amongst the worst of
labor disputes. AS class, also, min
ers tend to be narrow-minded; they
work within limited horizons, and
their character is Influenced accord
ingly.

INCREASE OF MuTEs.
Due to Observation-Disclosures Of
Authorities.


The census of 1890 showed 41,283
deaf mutes in the United States. But
it is admitted that the list is defective,
SO many parents and relatives wishing
to conceal defects that the census TAX
ers could not get accurate data. In
1870 the number was 16,205. Statis-
tics show that the number of deaf
mutes is increasing at much faster
ratio than the total population, and
that more and more deaf mutes are
marrying deaf mutes and thus propa-
eating defective variety of the race.
the American asylum in Hartford, the
largest institution in the country where
deaf mutes are received, says the st.
Louis Post-Dispatch, shows that the
number of congenital deaf mutes Is
multiplying with increasing rapidity.
He cites one case where woman lived
to see sixteen deaf and dumb grand
children. He declares that every con-
sfderation of philanthropy, as we'll as
the best interests of congenitally deaf
persons themselves, should induce their
teachers and friends to urge upon them
the. improperly of intermarriage.
Years ago there was one deaf mute to
every 1900 of the population. Prof.
Alexander Graham Bell, the celebrated
inventor, married deaf mute, and
has written GA Memoir Upon the For
nation of a Deaf Variety of the HUI
man Race" After extensive research
he made this declaration: "The>indica-
tions are that the congenital deaf
mutes. of this country are increasing
at greater rate than the population
at large. And the deaf mute children
of deaf mutes are increasing at great
er rate than the congenital deaf mute
population. If the laws of heredity
that are known to hold in the case of
animals also apply to man the inter-
marriage of congenital deaf mutes
through a number of successive gener-
atoms should result in the formation of
a deaf variety of the human race" Re-
| ports of the American asylum at Hart
ford show that 80 per cent of the pu-
| pills admitted had deaf mute relatives
Cases showing as many as fifteen deaf
mute relatives to one individual were
| found. There were more than $4,000
deaf mutes in the United States who
belonged to families containing more
than one deaf mute. More threaten
ing still is the statement of DR.. Henry
L. Peet, the deaf and dumb specialist
He declares as result of his re-
|
brothers and sisters of a deaf mute
are about as liable to have deaf chill.
dren as the deaf mute himself.

A Fathers Grim Duty.

wiikesbarre, Pa, correspondence OF
Philadelphia North American: James
Richard, an engineer on the PLANES
of Ashley, left his ten-year-old son in
a fiagman's shanty while he went into
the engine house. His son screamed
soon afterwards, and Richard was hor-
rified to find that he had wandered on
the track and had been run over by
the big truck used to push cars up the
incline. The truck, weighing several
tons, rested on the boys legs. near the
hips, crushing them into pulp. There
was no help within two miles, and the
distracted father. had to start the en-
gines in order to drag the truck OIL
the boy. The little fellow was uncon-
scious and died next morning.

Ex-King Milan has of late aged very
much and his hair is quite white at
the temples. The cigarette hardly ever
leaves his lips; still, there is something
regal in his bearing, and his voice is
full and sonorous with the ring of com
mand in it. His glance is quick and
searching, and any one whom he ad-
dresses feels that the ex-king is no or
binary individual. The Servian Off

There will be many dinners in honor

he was not born on that day. He was
born on April I'd, 1743, old style, but
owing to the new style of time computa-
ton beginning with the Introduction of
the Gregorian Calendar, 1852, at which
time the Equinox had refrigerated eleven
days since the Council of Nice in A. d.
1926, when the festival of Easter vases
tablished and the equinox occurred on
March 81, the dates, of anniversaries
originating prior TO Pope Gregor's Calen-
dar are determined by adding eleven days,
hence Thomas Jeffersons birthday is
properly observed on April 18th. This
interesting fact is pointed out on pages "a

I Jennie, wife of Mr. James Miller, of
near Scrabble, died Tuesday. April 4,
1899, aged IS years, 5 months and 20
days.
Again we are called to mourn the de-
parture of dear friend whom anyone
could love. A notice like this must fail
to convey an idea Of the feeling elected
in that community by the death of this
highly-esteemed lady. for her character
was one of extraordinary aniability. She
exhibited in her manners a rare Chris
tian humility, which made her ths idol OF
her acquaintance. Truly that vicinity
has lost one OF its brightest ornaments
She has fulfilled her mission, and her SOU
has returned to the God who gave it
We will behold no more that sweet face
and pleasant countenance. Her lips are
hushed. The heart which beat so true
and warm is cold in death. She had
been in declining health for years, but
not until few weeks previous TO her
death did her friends become anxious
During the winter she had severe at
tack of grip, from which she never fully
recovered. Everything known to the
medical profession was done for her re-
lief, but all to no. effect. She was very
patient in her suffering and at the last
passed away very quietly, almost imper-
ceptibly.
An impressive service was held in the
Presbyterian church, of Martinsburg, by
Rev. Woods. Interment was made in
Green Hill cemetery by the side of her
little boy, who preceded her to that bright
world several years ago. A large con-
course of friends followed her to her last
resting place.
To the bereaved husband. aged father
and brothers and sisters we extend our
heartfelt sympathy, and may their brok-
en- hearts be bound up, and may they be
prepared to meet her IN fairer brighter
cline. She has gone to herr heavenly
mansion. The dear Lord has called
her away to glories by mortals undreamed
of-where no night ends the beautiful
day.
What wonder she left them for heaven
Her dear Lord had need of her there;
Her soul had attained its full statue,
Pure, noble, and wondrously fair.
A FRIEND.
