fruitful works Of darkness. but rather re-
prove them
Il For It Is q shame even to speak OF
thoss things which are done OF them In

IL But all things that are reprovet are
made manifest by the light: for whatso-
ever doth make manifest Is light.
H. Wherefore he saith: Awake thou that
sleepest. and arise from the dead. and
Christ shall give thee light.

are evil.
H. Wherefore be ye not unwise, but un-
derstanding what the will OF the Lord is.
Is. And be not drunk with wine. wherein
Is excess; but be filled with the Spirit:
ID Speaking to yourselves In psalms and
hymns and spiritual songs. singing and
making melody in your heart to the Lord

unto God and the Father in the name Of
our Lord Jesus Christ;

what They Did with tho seeds.

This is the season of the year when
each congressman receives from the
agricultural department several thou
sand packages of garden seeds. When
a eongressman's district consists of
nothing but houses, and where there
are no back yards, like Representative
Ruppert's bailiwick. the seeds are trad
ed off for public documents. Mr.. Rup-
pert, however, sent few packages to
his New York city constituents as an
experiment Some of the seeds went
to people living in a model tenement.
A few days ago Mr.. Rupert received
letter from the owner of the tene-
ment. please do not send any more
Seeds he wrote. THE people in my
building have converted all their bath
tubs into gardens. The scheme is all
right so far as irrigation is concerned.
but it is little tough on the tubs

STILL HAVE BELIEF IN WITCHES.
Remarkable Case OF Superstition Re-
ported from England.

Rem arkable Case of Superstition Re-
ported from England.
Superstition is not yet dead A few
days ago lady living in Cornwall re-
ceived a letter from a woman dwelling
twenty miles away in lonely coast
village, in whose house she had fire.
Quently spent some months OF the
summer months. The letter was not
we'll written, but the woman can hard
ly be old enough to have escaped COM
pulsory education altogether. Yet she
wrote 10 say that there was somebody
in that coast village who had been ell
wished" and was in consequence likely
to die. She had heard that in the
town to which she had addressed her
letter there was a skillful white witch
who, for consideration. would be
willing to provide the sufferer with
a charm which would be a sovereign
cure. She asked the lady to endeayor
to discover the name and address of
the benefactor. That such a letter
should be written in these civilized
days is not specially surprising, but
the instances are not worth noting,
for those who have had most expert
ence in the study of the superstitious
beliefs of the peasantry know well that
for one which gets written down in
this way there are generally two or
three vastly more interesting which
are never disclosed except in moments
of extreme emotion and panic.-Lon-

Signal for All Nations.

For some time a novel alarm signal
has been in use on the Alps, and so
successful has it proved that several
European journals are now suggesting
that it be made international instead
of merely local.
The signal consists of a shout or
whistle or gunshot, which may be
repeated six times. A traveller who
loses his way on the Alps can also give
the alarm by brandishing a lighted
lantern six times at regular intervals
The essential feature OF the signal is
that the shout or the whistle or the
gunshot must be repeated six times
no more and no less. Anyone who
hears such signal is bound to respond
Immediately.
Before, however, he goes to the as
sistance OF the person in need, he must
let him know that his appeal for help
has been heard, and this he is to do
either by shouting or whistling three
times, or by firing three shots.

The Rubbish Got In.

The last time Rudyard Kipling was
in Cape Town he discovered a military
hospital in the neighborhood which
was without bandages, and very badly
in need OF them. The shops of the town
had lots of bandages for sale.
He mentioned the matter to friend
and said he would supply the want.
whereupon his friend rejoined that he
would pay for all the bandages that
Kipling would take TO the hospital
A wagon was loaded, and then Mr..
Kipling learned that, according to the
regulations, hospital was not allowed
to receive supplies from private indi-
viduals.
well, said the author. II will dump
the packages on the pavement before
the hospital door, and then go in and
tell them to come out and clear up the
rubbish. Perhaps in that way they can
manage to smuggle them into the
building without having any red
tape"
Somehow or other the goods were

SOME SURPRISES IN MOURNING.
Two Phases OF the English womsas
Way OF Manifesting Grief

Way of Manifesting Grief
"One of the things that every little
while gives me a surprise In England
Is the vagaries OF conventional
mourning as practiced in English So
ciety," says an American woman who
has lived much in London. Il never
quite know what to expect from an
English woman in mourning.

while the rest of my guests sat
through the courses in the dining
room.
When the ladies went to the draw
ing-room Mrs. G. was there, took COT
fee with us gaily and finished the
evening with the gentlemen as they
strolled in from their cigars.
This should have prepared me for
any inconsistency. But not very long
afterward / could with difficulty re-
press a smile at the conduct of an
other English woman in mourning
whom / met at the house Of friend.
A table OF bridge was being made up
and the hostess asked her to join.
Yes, dear" she replied, caressing-
ly, "but you must put me at mourn
ing table"

reavement like herself. New York

is the cause of much agony.

pretty cage and so charmed by his
conduct as a host that he NAV
now have his ''pick of the choice.n
Mr. Cammack is bachelor, who
now possesses large and beauti-
full home, but unfortunely for some
one he has not yet made up his
mind to enthorne a beautiful
queen,-at least he says so. 1t is
believed, however, that he intends
taking unto himself a fair com.
panlon to cheer his heart and home
at some early date.
The game began at $50 and
lasted until 1890, fourteen games
altogether having been played

Causing a Loss Of $4,000.

Dallas, Jund 25.-The most
serious FIRE in the history of the
city in a resident district occurred
in East Dallas yesterday morning.
Two blocks on Haskell avenue and
one block on Peak street were con-
sumed by the flames. In all twenty.
four houses were burned causing q
loss in the nelghborhood of s75, 900
with less than half that amount of
insurance.
The Gre started in a new house
on the corner OF Haskell ave and
Simpson street and famed by a
strong breeze eat lite way on Has
kell avenue and there took tc Peak
street.
The heat was intense and togeth
er with the Thermometer in Gloss
range of 100 almost resulted in ia
tallties among the fremen. Chez

The fire was in the thicklY settled

Mr.. John G.. Frere, formerly of
Fanklin but recently of New Or
leans, died Monday morning at the
age Of twenty-five. The circum-
stances attending the death of the
unfortunate young man are so pee
uliar that the probabilities are
that his passing away was suicide.
Young Frere was employed in the
United State Appraisers office.
He was a brother of Alexander
Frere, a druggist of Franklin, who
committed suicide two years ago.
His father, Alexander Frere, al
one time owned one of the
largest drug stores in the State
The father was in Touro 1nfr
