OF AN EGG.

For a full-ledged romance to hatch
from a common hens egg is a rather
extraordinary occurrence, but this IS
what has t%ranspired as the result OF an
idle action OF a pretty Iowa girl and
the mystery-lovlng nature Of a govern
ment employe In Cuba. the egg acting
as a means Of introduction.
The opening chapter of the omanc
dates from last summer, when the egg
reached Miss Lizzie Gilday, a clerk N
an e~gg-exporting establishment in Fort
Dodge, Iowa. During a period OF rest
Miss Gilday inscribed her name and
address on a large white egg with in
delible ink. 1t was shipped with a big
consignment to a New York dealer.
and made a part of one OF the first
shipments of American eggs to Cuba.
The egg at last came. into the posses
sion of Charles p. II. Smith, one OF the
United States civil-service men at
Guines, and he noticed the address.
He wrote to Miss Gilday and In due
season received a reply, The cores
pondence thus opened continued, pic
lures were exchanged and the omanc
developed.
In the near future Mr.. Smith will
journey to Iowa, and as 10 as ar

to Get the Knot Tied.
An unfortunate citizen OF south Da-
kota, of German birth, went to Bavaria
a while ago to wed the woman OF his
choice. The young couple were all
ready to have the ceremony performed
when the unpleasant discovery was
made that the Bsvarian authorities re-
CURED certain proofs that 1t was prop
er for the marriage contract to be
made. This necessity, says the New
York Sun, required the production OF
various documents from the United
States, and four months elapsed be-
fore the marriage was permitted to
take place. The dilemma OF this cou-
pie has moved Mr.. Stern, our CONNER
cial agent in the city OF Hamburg, to
give some advice and information to
German citizens OF the land who con-
template marrying In the old country.
This advice appears In our consular re-
ports which, as q rule, deal far more
largely with commercial than matri-
monial interests. 1t appears that the
laws concerning the marriage OF for
eigners In Germany have recently been
revised and more stringent regulations
are now In force, as Germany does not
intend that any mistake shall be made
II she can help It. In the first place 1t
must be proved that one or both OF
the contracting parties are really for
eigners. A certificate OF naturalization
In a foreign land must therefore be
produced, as a preliminary. Then the
authorities In the foreign land must
provide another certificate to show
that they know OF no just cause or i'm
pediment why the marriage should not
take place, and this document must be
verified by the German ambassador or
a German consul. One or the other OF
these officials also must certify to 4
certificate of birth, which the appli-
cant Is required to produce. II there
pie, the applicant must produce proof
that in his adopted country this rela-
tionship forms no impediment to the
marriage, and IL he has been previous
ly married and has been divorced the
decree relating to the annulment of
the marriage, verified by a consul must
be forthcoming. Perhaps an appropri-
ate title for these new marriage laws
would be: Acts to prevent foreigners
from coming over to Germany 10 mar
ry German girls and thus deplete the
population of this great empire"

Cubans Eager for Education.

The whole Of Cuba, according to a
report made to the encouragement
by Alexis Frye, superintendent OF Gu
ban schools, seems to be on fire with
enthusiasm for education. Six weeks
ago there existed In the island fewer
than 200 schools, all based on the old
Spanish foundations, with the excep-
ton OF a few that had been established
more than a year before In Santiago
by Gen. Wood. There are now 2 1858
schools In the island, of which POI are
in Havana city, 1872 in M~atanzas city
and ITO in Puerto Principe city. The
schools that have already reported
show an aggregate attendance Of more
than 100 900 pupils, and Mr.. Frye be-
lieves this attendance will have in
creased to $50 900 before June /.

REV. DIR. DANIEL N. MARTIN.
Nehemiah's question Juggling at his
heartstrings, Why is the house OF
God Forsaken?' Forsaken by the poor
because they have worked so hard
through the six days hat the seventh
finds them in bed trying to secure the
necessary equipment for another
weeks tussle with the wolf. Forsaken
by the rich because they have played
SO hard all the week that they are alb
solutely too worn out for worship.
Forsaken by the vast foreign contin-
gent, who have never been bred to hab-
its OF church-going. Forsaken by that
increasing class of morally corrupt
men who feel that religious convic-
lions do not depend on church attend
ance. F~orsaken, Of course, by that
multitude of men and women to whom
life has no serious meaning, who are
living in the animal nature and are
satisfied with II. Forsaken also by
that numerous class of indifferents
who, while they may have no moral
slant to their lives, have drifted out
Of all church affiliations, to whom the
call to worship Is like the dim echo OF
an Alpine horn, who are more thrilled
by the breakfast bell than the church
bell, and who use Sunday to visit and
receive visits.
Then there are hordes of people
who regulate their church-going by the
thermometer and the barometer. IL

1t rains or SHOWS, they never attend
divine worship.
But the final and far more serious
Encouragement to church life in New
York is the stupendous growth of the
Hebrew race. Nearly every name on
the Broadway stores between the Bat
terry and Twenty-third street Is a Jew
ish name. The Jews are becoming the
merchant princes of New York. They
are still the chosen people. They are
settling down into the best parts OF
Manhattan island. Pastors suddenly
discover that their churches are sur

almost exclusively by Jews. can

whole sections of the city, inhabited
by the Hebrew race, and in the finest
residential portions. They take pos

to the trouble of building a synagogue,
he can buy a church far cheaper. A
prominent rabbi told a city pastor that
IL the terms could be agreed upon he
could buy twenty or thirty churches

HOPELESS PLACE FOR CHRIS

majestic king of days has lost his

Some Of the queerest experiences Of

mind telling, as the incident occurred
long since and in another city. A doz-
en- years ago, when | was temporarily
located in st. Louis, | was called n

chloroform to a young woman who was
about to undergo a slight surgical OPP
Grafton to remove a morbid growth in
the ear. The patient, as it developed
on my arrival, had been married only
a few days before, and was in the city
with her husband on their bridal tour.
Although quite handsome, she was no
longer exactly in her first youth, and
she was very much averse to having

ing her husband present at the opera
ton. However, he insisted, and she
finally agreed that he should stay, but
| noticed that she seemed very nervous
and preoccupied. The operation, as
said before, was tritling. She took the
chloroform easily, and all went well
until she was just ~regaining con-
sciousness, when she opened her mouth
and out fell a set of false teeth. She
had said nothing about that detail, and
the truth was that she had hoped, poor
woman! to pass through the ordeal
without the fact Of her wearing such
things being known to her husband.

Peaks" told Jim Bark, the well-known
cattleman, the boys are all handy
with a rifle. We've got a lot of guns
up there. The old-fashioned black
powder Winchester has been discard
ed, and nothing but the best goes.
Most OF the new guns were bought dur
ing the Spanish war, when we would
experiment all day with tree trunks
and rough trenches, learning the art
OF wal at home. We found that a bull
let from one Of the new Winchesters
driven by smokeless powder was good
for four foot and more of pine timber,
and for more than an inch of iron.
I. thought the boys had done about
everything in the shooting line that
could be done long ago, but l was mis-
taken. l sent them up a wagon. In
hauling down some firewood they
broke the holsters all to flinders. The
holsters hold up the wagon bed, you
know. Well, the boys figured out all
right the rebuilding OF the wood parts,
but came near being stumped on the
iron fiXings. They got some old iron
wagon tires and cut them in proper
lengths, but hadn't a way that they
could see to punch the necessary Dol.
holes. Finally the question was
solved. One of the boys carefully
marked the places for the bolts, stood
the piece Of tire against a tree and put
a bullet, 80 caliber, through the tire
at each place marked. 1t was a novel
sort OF blacksmithing, but it worked

Fact

Tact is born with some men and
women, like the supple, delicate fingers
of the artists hand; and those who
have 1t use their gift instinctively, 1t
is not measured alike to those who
have 1t. Men possess it in different de-
grees, while Others again are wanting
In 1t altogether. 1t is the outcome of
intellectual and temperamental quail
f~cations, and implies the possession OF
clear perceptions, quick imagination
and delicate sensibilities. 1t is these
that give the tactful person his subtle
intuition Of a%nother's mental processes
and modes OF feeling, and in the same
amount exactly the right method OF
dealing with these.

smoke rose to a height of between five

to the northeast, At a distance of 600
miles from Hawaii 1t settled upon the

fortnight after its original departure,
