A DTFFrRENCE N THE MORNING.

A DIFFERENCE IN THE MORNING.
Twas the Fourth OF July,
And with glee in his eye
And crackers galore IN his Jacket,
Young TED sailed out,
With an ear-splirJiug shout,
To add 70 the National racket
Twas the Fifth OF July
with & patch on his eye
That limited OF dire disaster,
Poor Ted lay in bed.
Closely bandaged his head,
And his fingers all covered with plaster

The work of tearing down the old

The men are we'll paid, receiving fifty

The work is hazardous and twill not be

a narrow escape. He fell from a height
of 100 feet, but caught dangling rope
and slid down on that. The friction
burned his hand to the bone. Arrange

Greatest Knitters In the World,

All the women of Shetland knit.
They learn the art in early childhood
and continue It all through their lives.
The wool used for their knitting Is
grown on the Islands and Is carded
and spun by the people themselves.
Machinery they have not except the
primitive spinning wheel. Many Of
the most elaborate shawls have taken
months to make and some even years.
so that a very fine shawl may be worth
as much as $3.50 or 5000. Most of the
knitting is, however, Of the more home
ly and serviceable kind and may be
bought from the women themselves for
a very moderate price.
The manner In which the washing of
knit shawls is accomplished In Shet-
land is a matter of interest to most
visitors. They are washed carefully
in soap lather, and then to prevent
their shrinking they are laced from
point to point Of the scalloped border
in large square wooden frame and
placed outside the cottage to dry.-Chi-

BROUGHT BACK OLD TIMES.
A Tiibit That Was Not on the Res
innrnmt Ell of Enrc.


The force of childhood recollections
and the truth of the quotation. "a
touch of nature makes the whole world
akin" were shown graphically by II
little incident In n restaurant the T,h.
er day. A quiet looking. middle aged
man of prosperous appearance was
eating his dinner when another well
dressed man took II seat opposite him.
After giving his order In bluff. genial
manner the newcomer took sip Of
water and faced around. Suddenly II
queer expression came over his face
as he watched attentively the actions
of his vis-a-vis, and apparently with
out realizing what he was doing hc
blurted out In Il loud tone. "Well. well.
wellr'
Every one at the table including the
quiet looking man, started, and the
others. observing the direction of the
speakers gaze, turned their eyes also
upon him of the quiet appearance tn
see what had caused the exclamation.
The man who had come In first was
in the act of spreading suga: over Il
slice Of buttercd bread. Sd Wien hr
realized that all eyes were turned upon
him he blushed like one detected In n
heinous crime and almost fell Off his
chair. II took him n minute or two to
recover and then he said TO the table
In general:
81 used to get bread and butter and
sugar for being good when | was II
child. and eating II Is n habit which
like to indulge In even yet. know II
isn't upon the restaurant bill OF fare.
but couldn't resist the temptation"
81 must beg your pardon for my rude
exclamation" replied the other man.
"My mother used to put bread and
butter and sugar in my lunchbox when
went to school as an S-yenr-old up in
the country town where | was raised.
and I haven't eaten any since my
childhood. and guess I'll Join you In
a piece now for the sake OF old times"
And he did.-Bangor Whig.

Easy Banking Methods which Cause
Americans Much Surprise.
"The continental banking methods

said a resident Of New Orleans who
has Just returned from a trip abroad
"When | was In Paris last month,
met friend one day who had an
English draft for f100 on one of the
largest banks In the city and wanted
to get the money. He had nobody to
identify him. but said, half jokingly.
that he was going to try for 1t any
how. and We went to the place to-
gether.
1--WE were shown up stairs to large
reception room set aside especially for
customers, and presently messenger
came in and took the draft. About a
dozen other people were also waiting
in the room, and after delay of about
ten minutes n well dressed young gen.
tleman came to the door and bawled
out in a loud voice. Mr.. John SMITH
My friend (call him John Smith for
short) got up and was handed bun

asked.
81 was astonished. and In going out
l took occasion to ask the we'll dressed
young gentleman whether the bank
wasn't taking desperate chances doing
business in that catch as catch can
fashion. And whyT he inquired. open

he shrugged his shoulders. We have

Funeral Reform.

At II meeting of the Baptist ministers
in Pittsburg last week Funeral Re-
form" received considerable attention
Rev. l.. G. Barnes, ID. d., thinks the
present funeral custom demands some
radical changes. He said: There
are great many customs now In use at
funerals that should be abolished.
Many funerals of the present time are
apt to appear TO showy. All funerals
should be as simple aud impressive as
possible We have all. no doubt, at
tended funerals that were more or less
like show of some kind. Flowers at II
funeral are very pretty and appropriate.
but this custom can easily b. overdone.
There Is limit to all things. and 1t is
bad taste to have an over abundance Of
flowers to ornament the casket II is
not right that funerals should he held
on Sunday. In late years we have had
many Sunday funerals, but it is only a
custom and could be easily given up.
There are six other days in the week for
burying the dead, and It is not neces-
sary to take the Sabbath. ! believe
that there should be the utmost privacy
about funerals. People are curious,
they are naturally so, and many persons
go to view the dead prompted by NOR
bid curiosity. The relatives and the
near friends of the deceased should be
the only ones to attend the services. |
am decidedly in favor of music at funer-
ais" Rev. DR.. Barnes added that he
thought the time was not far Off when
the much-needed reforms in funerals
would be adopted.

A Strong Ticket.

The nomination by the National Re
publican Convention OF VIM. Mckinley
for President and Theodore Roosevelt for
vi e-President places one of the strong
est national tickets in the field ever put
mp by the republicans. The result. with
two such men to lead the ticket, can not
be in doubt. With prosperity on every
hand 80 apparent that even the demo-
Gratis. outside of the organs of the party,
admit that it has never been equalled in
the history of our country, it is not like
ly the American people will kill the
goose that lays the golden eggs.
Now just a word as to voting. Don't
be 80 sure that we are going to win hat
you think it will not be necessary to
cast your vote to help us out. The
country wants every man to vote and
the man who doesn't value his citizen
ship any higher than to let the day pass
without voting, if it is possible to do SO,
is not fit to be a citizen in this the great
est nation on the face OF the earth. 1t
gives us that tired feeling when we neal
a man say he didn't vote last election
because he didn't just happen to get
round to 1t Oh didn't care to. When.
ever we hear this complaint we feel like
drafting the man and sending him down
as Ii running mate for Aguinaldo-if
Aguinaldo would have him.
