Phillips brooks and the Lost Child.
1t was nine years ago the 23d of Jan
nary since Phillips Brooks died, and
yet to many it seems but yesterday.
This anecdote Of the kind bishop.
whose love for children was but n
of his many beautiful traits Of char
acter, was told in verse by Margaret
Sangster in Harper's Bazaar:
A poor little pale-faced baby.
Lost and hungry and cold,
with the chill wind pinching her tear
And rufling her bright hairs gold.
For just when the busy people
Were hurrying here and yon,
Buying their gifts for the Christmas
tree,
Her mother was suddenly gone.
She did not cry, poor midget,
But lifted pitiful eyes
At the crowds OF careless strangers,
At the gray Indifferent skies.
Jostied and pushed and frightened.
a tiny waif OF the street.
With the wintry darkness falling.
And the snow-nakes gathering fleet.
She was seen by a great kind giant;
With swinging stride he came,
Even then the angels In heaven
Wrote Saint before his name.
From the height of his splendid stature
He stopped to the little maid.
Lifted her up in tender arms.
And babe her not be afraid.
Against his broad breast nestled,
She chung like n soft spring I'VE
That n breeze had caught and carried
To n strong and sheltering tower.
In his thick warm cloak he wrapped her,
The little shivering hid
"Ill find your mother, baby"
The Bishop said, and smiled.
That smile like a flash OF the sunrise
IT'S but a memory dim,
For the years are hasting onward,
And we are mourning him.
The cold white SHOWS are drifting
Where to-day he lies asleep,
After his life's long warfare
The soldiers rest Is deep.
But of dear things said about him,
or victories that he won,
No sweeter tale IL told than this,
or his grace to a little one.

Where Pearls Are Found.

Old Biographies make the Persian
Gulf the seat Of the pearl industry, but
now many beautiful pearls are found
IN different parts Of America. In the
Mississippi river and its tributaries in
Minnesota and Wisconsin quite a num-
Der Of people are engaged in fishing
for the mussels in which the pearls
are found. 1t is said that n pearl
Is found in every ten mussels fished
from the water. The fisherman does
not worry about this. He keeps the
shells and takes them to the button
factory, where there is always q de-
mand, for, as you know. boys and
girls use up a good many buttons in
the course of n year and no n knows
what becomes Of them. A floating
button factory. built on a boat, travels
up and down the Mississippi. 1t
stops at a place long enough to use
up all the shells and then goes on
where there Is another mussel bed or
where the fishermen accumulate a
heap. Some of the pearls are very
valuable and have been sold for as
large a price as $4,000.

or no romance. her husband Is second

The body gives many indications of
approaching rain. Rheumatic joints
always begin to ache when rain Is

that the signs on something like half
a dozen of the millinery and drapery
shops on fashionable Band street hide
under assumed names the financial in
terests of as many peeresses or daugh-
tiers of titled families. One of them,
the dashing Countess of Warwick,
came out boldly, as Is her wont, and
put Countess OF Warwick" in big let
tiers over her shop front, and used to
make a practice of being on the prem
ises as much as possible.
The shop was started for the sake OF
the fancy work done by the girls OF the
village of Easton. Finding new occu-
pations for women is a pet pursuit OF
Lady Warwlck's, and two or three
years ago she had the ingenious idea
OF having English girls taught the art
of embroidery as il is practised in
France. The girls produced such fine
work, and the demand for it grew so
rapidly, that it was o o necessary to
open London headquarters, where or
ders could be taken.
Perhaps tho most marked manifesto
ton of Lady Warwick's real business
capacity was her lcvel-headed adjust
ment reorganization Of her husbands
business affairs. 1t was entirely owing
to her suggestion, and largely by her
aid, that her husband, the Earl OF
Warwick, turned himself into a limited
liability company, under the name of
1.-THE Warwick Estates, Limited" an
action which has proved to have been
exceedingly well advised. The brilliant
countess. who Is one of the most beau
tiful women in England. is interested
in half a dozen other schemes. some
Of them philanthropic, and some of
them intended to contribute funds TO
her own pocket. She also writes maya
zine articles, and accepts the checks
with charming grace.

Money

Everybody recognizes the fact that a
boy should early give his attention to
some kind of money-making so as to
give him a feeling of responsibility.
Nothing can more test the boys ener-
gies and abilities than poultry raising.
1t calls for the exercise OF both mental
and physical powers. 1t is not routine
work. Then. too, 1t Is a profitable en-
ployment, requiring no great outlay of
money II does not require late hours,
nor does 1t tend to bad company. 1t
is a safe recreation and often develops
from recreation into a business. says
the American Boy. 1t offers something
definite as an object to work for. The
boy soon ome to have a desire to
excel-to get the best results. He
wants to produce better birds and more
eggs than his competitors. He finds
that Nature is erratic In her moods,
and 1t is no easy matter for him to
learn her secrets. Defeat that often
arouses his fighting blood and
makes him determined to succeed, with
every faculty awake. II is outdoor
work, and for a boy who Is inclined toe
much to sit and drone over q book the
work Is beneficial. 1t fosters q love for
animals, and contains 70 unpleasant
features.
The Red Cloud chief., 1902-03-07

One Of the things with much mean.
ing which Is pointed out with regard
to boys is that they are influenced a
great deal by the way the city in which
they live is governed. If the govern
ment is corrupt, the boys make that
their standard Of living. When what
is known as the Lexow committee
looked into the police system of New
York and found how criminals could
go on committing crimes and be let
alone by paying the police officials for
the privilege, the ~regamuflns all over
the city invented a game they called
Protection In which part OF them
played criminals and the others played
policemen, and all the players got the
idea that the law was a humbug and
that the right thing and the smart
thing to do in this world is to get
money-no matter how.
The sum of 1t all is hat a boy Is a
man growing up; that he wants to
learn about men and do things as men
do them. and the kind OF nan he turns
out to be will depend on what kind OF
grown people he has to help him learn.

courage of her convictions and puts her
name on her shop front without false
modesty. You can see 1t at II Hanover
street, in the midst Of the fashionable
shopping quarter: Rachel Byng,
Modiste and Embroiderer." She attends

comfortable income out OF 1t.
Peers in trade are so plentiful now
that they attract little attention. The
Earl of Rosebery, once premier Of Eng
land, and likely to be again, sells milk;
the Marquis OF Londonderry, postmas-
ter general. has his coronet and title on
his coal carts, and Lord Harrington
owns a fruit stand in the yard of
Charing Cross railway station. Lord
Rosslyn has been In about every kind
Of business and so has Viscount Mount

month or two earlier than the queen,
but his father, the first Duke of Cam

III. than her father. the Duke of Kent;
otherwise the bluff old duke would
have been king of England. He was
rather expected to come to the throne
any way, for Victoria was a delicate
child. and this cousin of hers was next
in line. BY a similar twist of luck
also, the duke only just escaped being
king of Hanover. But the duke him

Simple md Amusing Game.

A small feather with a very little
stem must be produced to play the
feather game; also a tablecloth or
small sheet. The feather is placed
upon this, and the company stands In
a circle, holding the sheet.
Some one gives the feather a blow,
and the object Of the game Is to pre-
vent it from touching any one.
Each one gives the feather a pun
whenever it comes near him, and over
1t goes to the other side again. The
excitement produced is very great, and
it Is always a most amusing spectacle,
the onlookers enjoying 1t almost as
much as the players themselves.

Idaho-Continental Plans.

A. Hickman, one Of the primo

entail Company, was in town this
week, having recently returned
from st. Paul and Duluth where
he was in consultation with the d.
rectors and the railroad people.
The latter have just received the
estimates of the engineers as to the
cost of the railroad from Porthill
to the mine, but, owing to the late
ness of the season, it is considered
impractical to commence operations
this fall,
Mr.. Hickman states that it has
been determined to build the road,
however, by company to be form
ed under the parentage of the G. N,
and stockholders of the Idaho. Con-
tinental. 1t will be a narrow guage,
which, with a corcentrator, will
cost about 100000 exclusive of
the advantages of using the top of
the dyke now being built across
the valley by the reclamation COM
pany.

considerable ore this winter, using
