WHY THE CITY RALLIED so PROMPTLY

WORKINGMEN BECOME
MANUFACTURERS

One Of the things upon which the people Of Pat
erson congratulate themselves to-day is the fact
that the great fire which swept the business centre
OF the city and a great many homes out of exist
ence left the mill section unscathed. While thou
sand persons were rendered homeless, practically
none of the mill hands lost employment and that
is Of the potent reasons why the city authori-

Why the Church Was Crowded.

A certain little Flemish watering
place much frequented by English and
American visitors has two attractions,
a Presbyterian church and a roulette
table. At a recent service in the church
it occurred to one Of the pillars" that
it might be lucky to play the number
Of the hymn after the sermon at the
roulette table. SO he stole out of the
church and did so. It happened that
the number of the hymn did turn up,
and the lucky coup became the talk of
the village for the rest of the week.
Next Sunday the church was cram
med to the door. The pious pastor was
rejoiced in heart. After a powerful adj
dress he gave out "hymn No. 27.' The
moment the words left his lips, to his
CONSERVATION, there was Il rush to the
door, and he was left with a faithful
handful to upraise their agitated strain
Of praise.
AS for the rest, they made bee line
from the house of prayer to the house
of play. 1t is said that their little ad-
venture cost them all very dear.

Mother Mt PRAYER,

Once, says a writer, suddenly open
ed the door of my mothers room and
saw her on her knees beside her chair
and heard her speak my name in pray
er. l quickly and quietly withdrew
with a feeling of awe and reverence
in my heart. Soon l went away from
home to school, then to college, then
into life's sterner duties. But 1 never
forgot that one glimpse of my mother
at prayer nor the one Word-my own
name-Which I heard her utter. Well
did I know that what [ had seen that
day was but q glimpse of what was
going on every day in that sacred clos
ct of prayer, and the consciousness
strengthened me a thousand times in
duty, in danger and in struggle. When
death came at last and sealed those
lips, the sOrest sense of loss 1 felt was
the knowledge that no more would my
mother be praying for me.

Brain-fOod Nonsense.

Another ridiculous food fad has
been branded by the most competent
authorities. They have dispelled the
silly notion that one kind of food is
needed for brain, another for muscles,
and still another for bones. A cor
rect diet will not only nourish a par
ticular part of the body, but it will
sustain every other part. Yet, how
ever good the food may be, its
nutriment is destroyed by indigestion
or dyspepsia. You must prepare for
their appearance or prevent their
coming by taking regular doses of
Green's August Flower, the favorite
medicine of the healthy millions. A

New School Building for
RichIand Center,

Richland Democrat. April 9: A
special school meeting was held Mon
day evening at the high school room,
to vote upon the proposition Of secur-
ing loan of $4,000 for a new school

thus provided for will be located in
the second ward, several desirable
properties having already been offer
ed as sites. Work will be commenced
as soon as plans can be perfected and
contracts made, in order that the new

Finds a EortunG.

The find of a pearl of the purest
quality has enabled G. Nodenica, a
poor fisherman living below Lacrosse
to pay up his debts and start life
anew. HIS wife has been i'll and he
has been gust barely able to keep
starvation from the door. \ few
days ago while fishing he pulled his
boat on a sandbar to eat his frugal
lunch. He picked up a clam from the
sand and opened it for want of some
thing better to occupy his time, and
to his amazement a pearl fell out.
He sold the gem for $500.

Darlington Republican; A large
spider, which had taken refuge in a
bunch of bananas, created consider
able excitement in Harvey & Martins
downtown restaurant Sunday after
noon. Miss Olive Sparrow, the &C
eommodating clerk, while removing
bananas from a stock that hung near
the front window, was bitten on the
index finger, by what was supposed to
be genuine taraatula, one of the
most venomous species of large spid-

insect was not a tarantuIa, and Miss

DISCOMFORTS IN GREECE.
Place Where the Eye Rather Than
the Palate Is Gratified.

Excepting Japan, southern Italy and
the Tyrol, no country compares with
Greece in the beauty Of its landscapes.
1t is not a land for luxurious people,
however. The climate is more to be
recommended than the hotels, but the
natural scenery has variety, a rich
ness and a color that no other part of
Europe affords. The foliage and the
flowers are abundant and beautiful,
and in the rural districts the people
are picturesque in manners, customs
and dress. Their habits and social life
| have not been affected by what we call
the advances of modern civilization.
In public cOnveniences, however,
| Greece is still far behind the times.
Athens is the only place where the hO-
tells are tolerabIe, and travellers who go
into the interior must take their own
provisions and bedding. Even those
| who make little excursions by carriage
for a single day in the neighborhOod Of
Athens must carry a lunch basket, be-
cause the inns are primitive and filthy.
Railway facilities are limited. With
q few exceptions the roads are bad,
but they are gradually improving, and
most of the centers of great interest to
tourists may now be reached by car
riage. Only a few years ago travellers
had to go on horseback or on foot, as
they do in the Holy Land. Even now
those who visit some of the most inter-
esting places have to put up with dis
comforts, inconvenience and a good
deal of dirt and bad smells, although
they are fully repaid.-Chicago Record

The CataIeptfc Trance.

It cannot be doubted that in numer-

Quainted with all the arrangements
being made for his interment. Several

him, but absolutely unable to raise a
