Christian Work.
What blessing to a household is
merry, CHEEKY woman-one whose
spirits are not affected by wet days or
little disappointments, or whose
ceaseless kindness does not sour in
the sunshine of prosperity! Such a
woman in the darkest hours brightens
the house like piece of sunshiny
weather. The magnetism of her
smiles and the electrical brightness
Of her looks and movements infect
every one. Her children go to school
with sense Of something great to be
achieved; her husband goes into the
world in a conqueror's spirit. No
matter how people annoy and worry
him all day, far off her presence
shines and he whispers to himself,
"At home | shall find rest" SO day
by day she literally renews his
strength and energy; and if you
know a man with beaming face, 4
kind heart and prosperous business.
in nine cases out of ten you will find
he has wife of this kind.

HIS TOMBSTONE
Waited Two Years for The Death
of Ossified Man.

William A. Bloomer, the ossifieo
man who was on exhibition here a
year or two ago, died in st. Louis
Sunday. He had been becoming
more and more tho roughly ossified
for the last two and a half years.
The st. Louis Republic says:
His troubles began in a severe case
of rheumatism. He had been in the
syhespitai for two years aud his case
wasa:egarded by physicians as the
most rumarkable of its kind.
lBloomer was an engineer in the
United States Navy and served
during President Cleveland's last
Administration.
During his stay at st. Luke's
hospital from time to time he made
4 computations as 70 the date of his
deatlsand SO long ago as June, 1899,
che did not expect to live into this
year.
He was then entirely helpless
except he could use his fingers and
move his head on his pillow.
when he entered the hospital he
announced that he was suffering
4ron rheumatism. He stated that
mis- work had kept him exposed in
weather so severe and variable that
NE had contracted the disease from
which he suffered.
His knee joints were swollen and
his skin in spots was becoming
dark brown.
The physicians decided that this
was case of rheumatoid athit-
rs.
Gradually the patients body stiff
Aened, his bones turning to a clay
alike substance.
An entertainment was given for
-Mr. Bloomer several years ago and
the proceeds were devoted by the
dDvalid to the purchase of hand
some tombstone, which has now
been in position in the Bloomer
cemetery for for nearly two years.
The invalid kept a photograph
OF the monument near him in his
room. and often took pleasure in
booking at it.
He felt gratifed to Know that his
distressing place was well and suit
ably marked. ~ f.e.is

QUEER DINNER GUESTS.
Animals Have Sat at Table with Rccen-
trie Men.

1t was the custom Of the earl of
Bridgewater, who died in 1929, to
dine with IL dogs. Each animal, with.
napkin round its neck, sat sedatelyl
in an armchair, behind which stood
a servant ready to attend to its wants.
The utmost decorum was observed,
and should. any dog transgress the
rules Of good breeding, it was ban
ished for awhile from its mas
ter's table and, dressed in livery, conls
PEELED to take its meals in the serv-
ants hall.
John Mytton, the eccentric squire
of Halston, once asked a number Of
neighbors to meet at dinner particu-
lar friend of his who had just come
from abroad They duly arrived, but
the honored guest was late, and it
was not until all were seated at table
that the door opened and there en-
tered-a large, grizzly bearl A gen
eral stampede followed, and in less
than minute Mytton and his partic-
ular friend were left to finish the meal
alone.
Not many years back cat parties
were the vogue among a certain clique
in Paris. A lady would give the en-
tertainment, to which were hidden
her friends pets, for whom a sumptu-
Gus meal was prepared, every dainty
suitable to the feline palate being pro-
vided. This repast was, it is needless
to say, done ample Justice to, the cats
being waited upon by their doting
mistresses
Last year an eccentric Austrian of
noble family, gave a dinner in honor
Of large panther that he had.
brought from the east. The animt -
firmly secured by chains, crouched az
table, and partook with evident zest
Of the good things provided.
This, however, is not the only "ani-
NAL" dinner that this whimsical ost
has given, for in the early eighties he
astonished his friends with invita-
tons to dine with an elephant. The
animal, however, turned out to -
by no means Jumbo, being indeed ~
mere pigmy Of a few months old,
which, under the care Of its keeper,
behaved with the greatest propriety.
Lord Erskine, the celebrated law
yer, possessed a curious pet in goose
that he was won't to allow TO roam at
viii about his chamber. Not infre-
quontly, too, he would dine in its
and on one occasion some
friends, whom he had invited to dim
men, were .dpmfollnded when on Sit
ting down 70 tablea chair was placed
for this Tbrd, Which, during the
repast, was treated ini evSly respect

been as intentional a defiance of the
other governments of the world as
has been the murder of so many mis-
sionaries and the destruction of all
their homes and possessions. 1t is
plain that the empress and her i'm
mediate advisers have been at the
back of the horrible outrages perpe
trated by her "bashibazook" Boxers.
The allied powers owe it to civiliza-
ton to make it plain that the inter-

Russia may not take great interest in
this matter, but Great Britain, France
and Germany, and Japan, also, may
be depended upon to be in accord

treaty of Tientsin;
The principles OF the Christian religion, as
professed by the Protestant and Roman
Catholic churches, are recognized as tEach-
Ing men to do good, and to do to others as
they would have others do unto them.
Hereafter those who quietly profess and
teach these doctrines shall not be harassed

Any person. whether a citizen Of the Unit
ed States OF Chinese convert who, accord
ing to these tenets. peaceably teaches and

shall in no case be interfered with or mo-

These terms are perfectly specifia
and unmistakable. Their renewed af,
firmation by the great powers of the
world cannot fail to have salutary
effect on the minds of the Chinese
throughout the Celestial empire.

IA BIT OF ROMANCE.
Connected with Tombstone in Phil
adelphia Cemetery.

One would scarcely seek romance
in a cemetery, and yet one could not
find more pathetic little love story
than that told by the marking Of a
certain grave in Phiadelphia's City
Of the Dead, saws the Press
In South Laurel Hill the statue of
a woman, bearing two babes in her
arms, faces southwark from the top
Of steep rock overlooking the river
and East Paramount Park drive. This
monument Of love was hewn out by
a devoted husband to perpetuate the
memory Of his cherished wife and in-
fant ehiiill . Al...;;-.ssii,
Henry Ditochowslli was a Polish
patriot who wed Helena Schaaf, in
the pretty Rhine country Of Germany,
so years ago.
II had been his intention to live
in Poland, but, aiming to free his ma
tive land from the Russian yoke, he
was eNiled after the uprising Of 1916
by governmental authorities. He
came with his wife to America, where
he took up his residence in the Quaker
city as sculptor, under the name Of
Saunders.
In 1857 his wife, whom he dearly
loved, died giving birth to twins, who
also died. Deprived at one blow of
his faithful companion and babes,
the bereaved man only listlessly per-
formed his daily work that he might
gain a scanty livelihood
AT night began the work in which
he put his heart
Never seeing him as Of Told the
neighbors grew curious about the ''for-
eigner,7 as they called him, and pry-
ing eyes soon discovered that every
night the man locked himself in his
cellar, whence the sounds Of hammer
and chisel emanatcd.
"No doubt he works late to make
more money" said the curious.
But the curious were wrong. Dino
chowski was hewing out an image Of
his wife and children.
In few months the monument was
finished and placed over the grave
of his loved ones. On one side Of the
pedestal appeared the words:
eve live in deeds, not years-in
thoughts, not breaths--in feelings,
not in figures on dial, we should
count time by heart throbs. He most
lives who thinks most, feels the no
blcs, acts The best"
While on the back one reads in
Latin: Henry Dinochowski Saun-.
ders with his own hand made this ex-
act image Of his most beloved wife,
and consecrated it to her memory in
1852
The tools with which he wrought
and a likeness of the patriots face
are sculptured on other parts Of the
stone.
The most mysterious part Of the
story is that, when his task was fin
ished, Dinochowski disappeared as
completely as If lie had never exist
ed Whether he killed himself or
soughtto drown his griefinnew lands
was never4Snown, and from that day
to this no tidings have been heard Of
thes9gsfortunate man.
