fever, which completely prostrated
him. BY degrees their small savings
we're expended, then the best of the
furniture was sold, for they were too
proud to ask help, and so they went
from bad to worse, until they only
had the poor bed, the stove, the table
and two chairs, which now furnished
in scant measure the little room in
the tenement they called home.
Hugh had been out since early
morning hunting for work, and his
wife was growing momentarily more
anxious about his prolonged absence.
What could keep him? 1t began to
grow dark. Pressing her pale face
against the panes, she peered out in
to the street.

"Oh, Harry, what shall we do? Sis

Mrs. Derwent, putting her arms
around her little boys neck.

again; perhaps I'll get something
this time, and pr'aps I'll meet papa.

Meanwhile Hugh Dcrwent had
dragged his weary way homeward.
He had met the usual rebutfs, scme
ludely uttered, some gently worded,
for there were men who were
touched by his pallid face and the
hopeless expression of his com-
tenance. Mary listened for his foot
steps, for it was now too dark to see
the passers-by on. the street, caught
a faint, uncertain sound as of some
cne tottering on the stairs. Opening
the door she discerned the figure of
her husband coming wearily up, step
by step, but oh, so slowly. Soon she
had him clasped in her arms. No
need for him to repeat the sad story
of failure again; she knew it when
he touched her cheek with his cold
lips.
"Where is Harry?" were the first
words he spoke after regaining his
breath, for he was quite exhausted
by the exertion of mounting the
steep staircase
'He's gone out, dearest; l couldn't
stop him. Mary cried for something
to eat, and the little fellow rushed
out, determined to do something.
Don't be frightened, Hugh, God will
take care of him, and of us, too. We
must not hide oar trouble from your
aunt any longer; it isn't justice to
our children"

Sldv Peasants Bdthe in the
Sacred Waters of the Jordan


The traveller in the Holy Land will
witness few sights which will interest
him more than that of the Russian pill
grims at the annual Epiphany cere-
monies on the banks of the River
Jordan.
week before the festival itself
crowds of these Slav peasants are seen
trudglng along the Jericho road, with
every Imaginable kind of haversack
and carry-all on their backs. Some of
the pilgrims are old and weather worn,
others young and cheerful, while few,
overcome by sleep and fatigue are ly-
ing prone along the roadside But
somehow the whole lot young and old,
manage to reach the banks of the river
IN good time for the ceremony They
spend the night. perhaps, in the Rus
sian hospice at Jericho, where they
simply huddle together like q flock of
sheep Before dawn the rooms are
empty, and the whole crowd has gath
cred on the bank, where Greek priests,
VINO VIII presently drive most lu-
crative trade await them.
The principal articles sold are
branches OF trees from various sacred
spots, stones from the Mountain of
temptation hard by, plants from the
wilderness and rosaries with olive
stones for beads. To whatever reli-
g1ous value is claimed for these ar
ucles the Russian peasants implicitly
give credence, and they willingly pay
their money to obtain them.
During the hours Immediately pre-
ceding the ceremony the motley crowd

is occupied in prayer and silent devo-
ton. To many pilgrims this occasion
is one of. the greatest life can bring
namely, to be permitted not only to
visit the Jordan, but actually to battle
in its sacred waters. Suddenly chant-
ing is heard, and the crowd quickly
opens to let procession of purple
clad ecclesiastics pass to the water,
then the pilgrims close in again. and
station themselves along the banks,
eager and watchful. And now, quite
reveTently, a jeweled cross is laid by
the patriarch on the surface of the
stream to bless it, and no sooner does
the sacred symbol touch the water
than a dive is made into it by the
enthusiastic crowd, which splashes and
prays and wallows and dips-alto-
gether strange scene.
Such is the baptism, and the longer
it lasts the greater the merit the pill
grim will enjoy All dripping with
water, each shroud is now wrung out
and slowed away to serve as the cere-
cloth when the pilgrimage of life is
over, and the body is ready for the
grave. AS the traveller rides away the
next day to Jerusalem, he will see
these childlike peasants. bedraggled
with mud. and fatigued by constant
sleeplessness, plodding along toward
the Holy City, chanting and singing as
they go, and leaning on their sticks
of reed. But there is now a smile
on their faces, and Joy in their hearts.

Story of the Killing
of the Last
Big Buffalo Bull

The following account of the killing
the Macleod Gazette in the form Of a
letter signed Wyoming Bill":
Early in November, 1887, John Nolan
and other half-breeds were near the
forks of the Red Deer and South
Saskatchewan when they came across
bunch of eleven buffalo. one of the
bunch being very large bull.
They killed the big bull, two cows
and calf and brought them into
swift Current. J. Grant got the head
of the bull and Curry Bros, got the
two cows heads and hide and the calf
No doubt atterward the half-breeds
cleaned out tie rest of the bunch, for
they were never heard Of again.
Hine of Winnipeg mountc' the bulls

government and was sent to the
Worlds Fair at Chicago, where it was
much admired.

and handsomest | ever saw, and be-
lieve the last buffalo killed in the ter

One of the other heads is in the pos
session of Dr. George of Innisfail. who
is much interested in natural history.
The country lying between the South
Saskatchewan and the Cypress hills
and Old Wives creek and lakes and the
Nermillion hills was famous for buff
falo and even now the old buffalo trails
and wallows are to be seen from Moose
Jaw to Medicine Hat.

J.panese and Americans.

The comparative beauty Of the Jap
has been under discussion in America
recently. There is no doubt that the
Japanese woman is pretty creature
so long as she is young, but she fades
early, and does not grow into that
graceful maturity so characteristic of
the Japanese are extremely sallow,
and use much paint and powder. Beau
ty, according to the Japanese standard,
consists of long, oval face, regular
features, almondshaped eyes, slightly
sloping upwards, a high, narrow fore
head, and a mass of straight black

True Luxury.

True luxury to the mind of the aver
age woman consists in not thinking
about clothes at all; in being caught
out in the rain without having to give
a thought to ones apparel; in being
able to ring a doorbell without consid-
ering whether the brass will leave a
time Of usefulness a tritle shorter. It's
not the average woman who saves her
gowns until they're hopelessly out of
date and then cuts them down for her
daughters; it's the exceptional member
of her sex who economies in this fool
ish fashion.

THE soYs IN BLUE PASSED UP
Al my Board Recommends Green un.
forms for Spiders.

A special to the St, Louis Republic
from Washington says
The army uniform board, which has
been in session in this city for sever
al months and OF which Major Gener-
al Hughes is president, has submitted
itE report to the secretary Of war. The
board recommends some very radical
and far reaching changes in the uni.
forms Of both officers and men Of the
army.
No longer can the American army
be termed the boys in blue. In the
future they must be called the men
IN green. for the famous and charac-
teristic blue field uniforms, If the rec
concentrations of the board are adopt
eo will be done away with except for
occasions of semi-dress. For a fieid
uniform the board has designated a suit
OF a khaki--green color-not by any
means presenting a beautiful appear
ance. but considered by army officers
as most serviceable. In the summer
and for hot climates this uniform will
be of light weight and in the winter
and cold climates of heavy material.
The long blue oyercoat worn for so,
many years by both officers and men
will be cast aside with the blue suits
into the remnant pile, and a long or
eIooat Of the same brownish green
color will be substituted.
In the expert opinion of the officers
who constituted the uniform board the
new color adopted will be most diff
cult for any enemy to see on the field
of battle. It's wearing qualities are
also superior to the blue uniforms
which have so long characterized the
American army
Many changes are also recommend
ed by the board for full dress uni
forms. The helmet will be abandoned
and cap of the same shape as worn
by Lieutenant General Miles will be
adopted This cap is modelled after
the cap worn by the Italian army. The
shoulder knots are to be greatly ~
duced in size and made more orna-
mental The sword carried by officers
will in the future be weapon in ev-
cry sense of the word, instead of toy
affair. such as is now used
