Poor Lille willie.

Little Willie used to earn
nickel now and then
BY holding Mr.. Softlegh's horse
While he and Sister Jen
Were in the parlor visiting.
But those good times are DER,
And little Willies services
Are in demand no more.
When Mr. Softleigh comes to-day,
Alas, there is no need
Fer anyone to stand outside
And watch his champing steed,
He pulls plug from somewhere. and
That's all there is to do:
The rig will stand all right while he

The Bright, Bright World,

It's bright, bright world. with Its roses
and its rest,
And. till we reach the other. It's the
sweetest and the best;
And hand In hand together
Well face the stormy weather.
For rainbow rounds the Heavens from
the rosy east TO west
It's a bright, bright world, with Its love
and with its light
It's blessings and caresslngs, its song, its
wrong, its right;
And SHINING and forgiven,
It's rolling nearer Heaven.

Hello, That you? Sweet Mary.

Shall be my mute ambassadors:
And each shall tell how deep and true

For him. What messengers more meet7
Are they not typical of you,
They are sweet?"
Dear Jack" she wrote. your violets

What filter messengers for you?
So typical of how you'll feel.

prayer.
A prayerful soul breathes through the
face
Like perfume through a rose;
No art can initiate the grace
OF spiritual repose.
The heart that talks with God In prayer
Unconsciously imparts
Some portion OF the truths learned there
To other minds and hearts.
II needs no utterance of n word.
It needs no pen or book:
What God speaks TO the heart is heard
In every act or look.
Pray much: in pleasure. toll or rest
Call on that Unseen Force.
And let your heart kneel In your breast.

A PASTORAL.

He wooed the simple country maid.
The youth who wore the outing shirt;
But Amaryllis in the shade
Was really an outrageous hirt.
He thought to brs * country heart
For pastime ere he went 10 town
To whirl about the busy mart;
But she-she simply turned him down.
In vain he used his best perfume
And gave his hair the middle part:
As you most probably assume.
He could not win the malden's heart.
BE mine" he cried Sweet natures
child,
Fair flower. blooming here unseen
Oh, quit this country, rude and Wild
And reign of this striped bosom queen"
She looked at him and sweetly smiled.
Her answer made the young man glum.
She said: Its true I'm natures child,
That's why | hate a vacuum"

Frenchwornan's Ideal of Dressing,


Frenchw0men are the best models
living of perfectness in dress. In the
first place they are educated to thrift
and net to extravaganza, which is the
true foundation of character, both for
king and peasant. After that come
a pride and attention to that part of
her wardrobe which is not visible
hose, underwear, cOrSets. petticoats.
They are selected with an eye to their
suitability to the occupations of the
Woman's life, and one fancy garment
is not purchased at the expense of
another. AS an example, hOusemaid
will not buy snowy red silk petticoat
and wear disgraceful stockings, as
ours constantly do, and feathers on her
hat with wornout shoes.
A FrencbWoman's gown may be of
the cheapest fabric, but she will not
try to trim it into something fit for
fabrics of three times it's value. But
she will see that it fits well and is
neat and trim. And, knowing that
her underclothing is what it should be,
she moves about alertly, conscious that
she is well set up and tidy from head
to toe. That this consciousness does
have it's effect on the carriage, the
bearing and general appearance no
one will dispute. 1t makes all the diff
ference in the world toward building
up self respect.

File, Shackelford and Keith are striking good leads in their prospecting work near town, and William Mckinney, an experienced miner, has men at work three miles southwest ot town. He has struck good lead prospects and zinc carbon and IS highly sanguine of results when the shaft is deepened.

THE CENTURY'S END.
Scientific Authorities Who Fix New
Century's BeeinninE
with 1901.

Here are a few additional points Of
more than usual interest concerning
The year that ends the century:
A writer in the London Times refers
to book published in London in 1910
entitled a Natural History in Ten
Centuries . written by Rt. Hon. Fran
els Lord Nerulam, Viscount St. Alban.
In this the first century begins at the
beginning Of section / and ends at the
end Of section 100 The ten centuries
are finished at the ends Of the last
section. which is no. 1000 If the noted
personage popularIy known as Lord
Bacon had continued TO extend his his
tory through 1e centuries, the last year
Of the final century would have been
the year 1900.

cording to this author, the twentieth
century begins with 1901
The British astronomer Royal dis
misses the year 0 as never existent,
declaring that the second century be-
gan with A. D. 1O1." and $50 on for
succeeding centuries. "The question
was fully discussed says he, "at the
century dinner in Glasgow on April IS,
1870, when the lord dean Of guild,
after quoting various authorities, gave
his decision as arbiter that the nine
teenth century did not begin until 1901,
January ], and that similarly the TWEEN
tieth century viii not commence until
1901"
Finally we find in lie Temps Of Paris
the dictum of the bureau des Longi-
tudes:
The bureau des longitudes has just
intervened in the dispute regarding the
nineteenth century. At the head Of its
annual it declares that:
The nineteenth century will finish
on December 81, 19O0'
THE twentieth century will com
mence on January 1, 1901. This deci-
sion of the sole competent authority.
puts an end to conflict, despite all de-
cisions to the contrary on the part Of
lay authorities"
The bureau des longitudes is the
leading astronomical body of the world.
Those two blazing meteors Of celestial
learning, Laplace and Lagrange, were
at its head when the ten millionth Of
the distance from the equator to the
pole was measured and pronounced the
meter
Inasmuch as the authority for re-
garding the year 1900 as the last Of the /
century is so oyerwhelm-
ing, it is for those who think otherwise /
to prove TO the eontrary--or surrender. !

A short time ago a heaviIy-Iader
steamship, while running along the
southern coast of Massachusetts,, struck
a sunken obstruction at point where
no obstruction should exist, according
TO charts. The captain of the steamship
reported the occurrence and a wreckinQ
party, with divers, started Oft to make
an investigation. Upon reaching the
exact locality where the menace was
plotted on the chart by the steamship
captain two divers were sent down and
within short time came to.the surface
and revealed the story Of their discov-
cry. The news was telegraphed the
owners Of the missing craft and by
them was transmitted to the families
Of the sailors. 1t is the opinion Of prac-
tieal seafaring men that the vessels
fouled each other while scuddinR before
the mighty force of the great Novem-
Der storm of 1898. The men, as discov-
cred by the divers, were lashed 10 their
posts and had not the slightest chance
10 escape death.
At the Office Of the agents at this port
Of the Howard II. Hanscom it was
learned that she sailed from Philadel-
phia November %, 1898, for Providence.
with ], 100 tons of bituminous coal. She
was commanded by Capt. Joseph
Holmes, Jr.. of New Haven, Conn.
At the Office Of the Philadelphia agent
of the schooner James b. Pace it was
stated that she left this port November
25 for Boston with 1.o25 tons Of BIZ
luminous coal and was neveri heard
from after passing out Of the Delaware
capes- She was commanded BY Capt. |
Garfield. a resident Of West Dennis.
Mass, from which place she hailed. The
two captains were bosom friends.
It is considered not unlikely that aft
er a years slumbering at the bottom Of

brought 10 the surface, repaired and
put into service again. The civers who
made the preliminary visit have re-
turned 10 the scene Of the catastrophe
