"She began trife ahead Of the

she was, all right, at the corner OF
fremont street and Temple place,
dinly white satin bow and an
ornamented comb in place OF the
accustomed feminine headgear, "
says the Boston Herald. The
busy crowd in passing gave her a
searching glance. Was this spec
linen the real article, or some
shop maiden who had run to the
sidewalk for breath of air? No,
for there were gloves on her
hands and a Boston bag stuffed
with parcels dangling on her arm.
She was suburban shopper in
town without her hat.

Life consists in n series of changes of
tissue, and the human economy is SIM
ply, so far as its material part is con-
cerned, a machine and primarily de
ponds on food as the most important
factor in keeping it in working order.
When it is said that we commence to
die as soon as we are born, it of course
means that certain parts of the body
Immediately begin to perish; their eX-
istence is ephemeral; they come and
go, are replenished and decay. They
are the dying parts of that system Of
life which may last little while, but
which must eventually yield to the in
eXorable law of nature. The nails, the
hair, etc, are observable as an instance
of this decay. The same rule applies
TO every other organ and tissue of the
body, though it is not palpable to the
naked eye. The skin is always peeling.
The food that is taken in the one hour
nOuriShes the system and elects that
which was taken the hour before.

Diamond Cutters.

Speaking of women in the jewelry
business, diamond merchant said;
''In other branches of the jewelry
trade than diamond cutting women
have made some unqualified successes.
Not one of Ewes daughters, from roy
atty down, 1 should say, that isn't an
artist In the wearing of diamonds.
Many are well versed in the tricks Of
buying and selling them, while others
give excellent satisfaction in polishing,
setting them and preparing them for
the market.
But when it comes to the real cut
ting of the stones they lack the pa
thence, judgment and steadiness of
nerve which constitute the experts
stock in trade. 1t would seem that dia-
monds have the same effect upon the
woman who wishes to shape them that
they do on the girl who sees one Of
them sparkling in her new engagement
ring-puts her in n tremOr of excite
ment; hence diamond cutters are in

vitation from Johannesburg to attend
q ball given in 1891 in celebration of

A strange FeastIng Custom.

There was a strange custom in the
Isle of Lewis when the people used to
gather to the church of st. Mulvay at
night, each family bringing provisions
and each family furnishing peck of
malt, which was brewed into ale. One
who was chosen for the purpose waded
into the sea up to his middle and pour
ed out cup of ale. calling on sea god
called Shony to favor the people
through the coming year. The people,
after seeing the ceremony performed,
returned to the church and then went
10 the fields to spend the rest of the
night in revelry.-LOndon Standard.

DOUBLED Tie COLLECTION
A Scotehman's Scheme For Increas-
ing the Church Contribution.

A ScOtehman's Scheme For Increase
ing the Church Contribution.
In small town In England there is a
rich congregation which is not charac-
terized by lavish Hberality. Time after
time the minister had vainly appealed
TO his people to contribute more gener-
ously to the funds of the church. The
members would indeed give something,
but it was nearly always the smallest
silver coin of the realm that was plac-
ed on the plate. A shrewd Scotchman
who had recently come to the place and
ioined the church was not long in no
ticing this state of affairs, and RENE
dy soon suggested itself to his practical
mind.
"I'il tell you what" he said to one OF
thesof1icials, ''if you max me treasurer
I'll engage to double the collection in
three months"
His offer was promptly accepted, and,
sure enough, the collections began to
increase until by the time he had stat
cd they were nearly twice as much as
formerly.
"How have you managed it, Mr..
Sandymanf" said the pastor to him one
day.
Its n great secret" returned the
canny Scot, '.but I'll tell you in conf
dence. The folk, 1 saw, mostly gave
threepenny bits. Wee1, when 1 got the
money every Sabbath morning 1 care

Book. with Leaves Uncut.

A book the leaves of which are I'M
cut possesses no value of an intrinsic
character beyond one that is cut, but
really less. For that matter, if it is to
remain uncut, it is as valueless as
it is useless. There are book COL
lectors, however, who place n premium
upon books with uncut leaves and so
commend them in their advertisements
and circulars. There are persons who
load certain shelves in their libraries
with uncut books. OF course they are
not for use and are not used and are
yalueless except for keeping.

FIND THE SUNNY SIDE.
Try to Get out of the Gloom and tn
Shadows of Life.

Shadows of Life.
Nothing contributes more to the high
est success than the formation of the
habit of enjoying things. Whatever
your calling in life may be, whatever
misfortunes or hardships may come to
you, make up your mind resolutely
that, come what may, you will get the
most possible real enjoyment out OF ev-
cry day; that you will increase your
capacity for enjoying life by trying to
find the sunny side of every experience
of the day. Resolutely determine that
you will see the humorous side Of
things. No matter how hard or I'M
yielding your environment may seem
to be, there is sunny side if you can
only see it. The mirth provoking fac
ulty, even under trying circumstances,
is worth more to a young man or wo-
man starting out in life than fortune
without 1t. Make up your mind that
you will be an optimist; that there
shall be nothing of the pessimlst about
you; that you will carry your own sun
shine wherever you go.
There is longevity in the sunny soul
that eases our jolts and makes our
sides shake with laughter.
There is a wonderful medicinal effect
in good cheer. Good news and glad IL
dings have n magic effect even upon
invalids.
We often see a whole store or factory
or home transformed by one sunny
soul. On the other hand, we have seen
them blighted and made dark by a
gloomy, mOroSe, fault finding person.
