CONFESSIONS OF A BISHOP.

Something About Cookery.

Some of the English bishops,
with all their dignity, are not
above indulging at times in harm

York Observer. The bishop Of
Norwich, for example, has heen

The bishop declared in reply that

Simple But Unique Affair That Was
a Rare Beauty.
Though it was August we had
plenty of flowers to work with,
says the writer, describing an al

extending behind the house for
more than half an acre, and here
were all the sweet, fragrant bios

took command, and under her tut
ton we gathered the latter, and,
making cornucopias of glazed pa
per, we filled them with water
and strung them up and down the
spindle posts of the front porch
and along the outside frames Of
the little windows. These we're
filled withpansies arranged loose
ly so that they seemed a continu-
GUS mass and concealed their re.
%ceptacles admirably. The porch
was then inclosed in green net
ting, for here is where the we'd
ding supper was to be set, and we
feared the light would attract the
thousand little flying things Of
the night which are abroad from
sunset. Along the spreading
branches of the old oak we hung
garlands of wood flowers, white
starry blossoms, and a few POPPY
and wheat sheaves to make the
green dusk under the tree seem
brighter. 1t was unique, certain
ly, and it was rarely beautiful.
When we finished late on the
afternoon Of the wedding day, the
lawn, with it's 1ower-hung oak
and pansy-wreathed porch, and
long double line of sweet pease,
arranged &for our bride to walk
between, looked fit for the very
queen of flowers.
The sun had just set, and a sill
very twilight was sitting down
over the world, softening the dis.
tances, wrapping the hills with
blue and touching trees and flow
ers with a mysterious, lovely
shadow. We girls stood close to
the tree while Hilda and Horace
stood before the old minister who
had come to marry them, and all
the other guests grouped them
selves around, as near as possible,
yet far enough to leave an open
space, like a fairy circle, around
the pair of lovers. Over in the
west q few long clouds were fly
ing like pink pennants of the sun,
and in the east, on the very edge
OF the gray night, a great luminous
star hung like a torch held up by
angel hands. Hilda and Horace
both looked at it as they stood
waiting, and I saw Hilda's lips
form themselves into the words
"our star of love" when she sawit.
The ceremony proper was very
brief and simple, and the two
made their responses in clear, I'M
wavering voices, but by the time
the minister lifted his hands to
give the blessing, the last vestigc
OF light had flown and only the
soft silver of the twilight hung
over us like a veil.

"I am tired of tits fashion of

1t means nothing and becomes
f~easfully nonotonous. Bowling to

not exchanged a word since your
primary school days. You knowit
would be snobbish and hateful
not to give the nod of recognition
when you meet them; but as they
have not the glimmer of an inter.

atom Of interest in them, it seems
farcical to give the expected ned.
Then there is the acquaint-

When it is some woman friend

THE REPRESENTATIVE SET"
The Rich Idlers Have Their Uses in
the Social Ceructure.

/; the Social C.ructure.
We noted briefly the cheering
announcement Of the New York
Times that the representative
set" were beginning to return to
America. Unfortunately the an
nouncement neglected to say why
they are coming or what they rep
resent.
But there is good reason to be.
lieve that these immigrant-emi-
grant sojourner2, to-and-froing
across the ocean, do imagine that
they really represent this indus
trious and purposeful people,
says the Hartford Courant. They
think they arc it, and take them
selves as seriously as the fool
paragraph which we have quoted
takes them. They may be the
Representative SET" but they rep
resent progenitors, who, having
squatted with their cabins where
big cities have developed, have
made fortunes by selling the real
estate, or who, having played
with marked cards in Wall street,
have made so many millions at
the game that the spots on the
cards have been forgotten and
the proceeds alone are remem-
bered.
These rich idlers have their
uses. They are not merely sign
boards of the road not to take, but
they help support the great army
of workers who make a living by
producing the luxuries consumed
by these representative" people.
Though they. do nothing them
selves, they help to keep others
busy. 1t is difficult to imagine a
more futile life than they lead or
one less attractive to a genuine
American. No doubt they arc
widely envied, but it is for what is
in their bank accounts and their
pockets and net for what is in
their heads.
We call work a curse, but it is
really the very opposite. The man
who is out of place is the fellow
who does nothing amid the ac-
1ivities of this busy world. The
tioaters of civilization are repre-.
sentative, but they represent a
by-product of progress and are
only an accident Of the general
welfare. There is room enough
for them when they arrive and no
vacancy to fill when they 90 back
again. Take their names outofthc
"sassciety' columns of the met
ropoiitan press and YOU take the
purpose out of their lives and the
little circle in which they move
becomes in all respects a cipher.

DISCOVERING SILK WORMS.

Chinese Legeni Describing the Origin
of an Importar- Industry.
More than 2,0C0 years before
Christ was born there reigEed in
China an emperor. named Hoang-
ii. If tradition tells us truly, says
the Washington Star, he must
have had a troublesome time with
his subjects, for there were no
manufacturers or mills to give
employment to the many who
were forced to work, and | doubt
not in those days, as in these, "Sa-
tan was finding some mischief
still for idle hands to do,' and
therefore Hoangti's empire must
have required sharp looking after
to keep all those unemployed
hands out of mischief. If he could
only find means whereby the hun
CRY could be fed and work be given
to the countless numbers who
were suffering and in want, he
would have been content, but as
often as he thought and planned
he found nothing to answer the
demands, and he grew very un-
happy, until his wife, Silinchi,
tried what her woman's wit could
devise to tighten the trouble.
One day, as she was walking in
the gardens of the palace, she no.
ticed in a mulberry leaf a tiny
worm spinning it's cocoon. Curl
osity led her to watch the move
ments of the little creature until
it had finished winding itself inits
fine silken web; the thought never
occurred to the empress that it
was of the greatest value. While
she watched with growing inter-
est she discovered that such del
icate spinning was far more beau
tiful than any machine could pro.
duce, and she wished she might
wear a dress woven Of such deli
cate texture that no Oneelse could
copy, and all the world must look
with admiration when she passed
by. So she learned the manner of
winding off the silk and weaving

how to rear them, that she might
have a supply constantly: on had.
At last she unfolded her knowl,
edge to the emperor, who was
%overjoyed at finding not only
employment for Eis workmen, but
amusement for himself, and so
important was the discovery that
the expectation of a single egg
was punished with death. But.
once two monks of the order of st.
BAIL penetrated, in their mis-.
sionary labors, as far as China,
and also became skilled in the art
of silk weaving. Knowing that
upon leaving their persons would
be examined as we'll as their
goods, they each carried a bam-
boo cane in which we're concealed
many eggs, and, taking them into
Constantinople, they introduced
the culture Of the silk worm into
Europe, where nurseries and man
ufactOries were soon established
and now produce a material that
may be regarded as a recessity;a
luxury it can no longer he called,
as the poorest can afford to Euya

1t takes 5000 coroors to make
one dress. These little creatures
are fed with tie leaves Of the
mulberry tree cuti1 Licces and are
so voracious that they require to
be fed eight times a day, but they
are such workers it is necessary,
that they may spin 1000 feet in

that 1000 cccoons weigh only
four pounds.

Louis Ulysses Lobach. son of Mr..
and Mrs. Edward Lobach, Sr., was
born in Florence, February 26, 1896,
From "a child his amiable disposition,
his strength of character, his integ-
rity and love of right made him the
pride of his parents and won for him
the esteem of all who knew him. He
was general favorite among his fell
low students in the high school. and
his ambition was to acquire q thorough
college course upon having finished
in the city schools. And his parents
hoped much for the career which the
future seemed to hold in store for
him
But disease was to be reckoued with
and in one brief week all the youth
ful hopes and abmitions were blasted
and the end came.
In case like this the finite mind is
unable to fathom the will of the In
finite. There is not so much of grief
when death comes tc those who have
arrived at an avdanced age, for it is
the way of nature; but when it comes
to the youth standing upon the thres-
hold of an active. useful life, the
sting is deep and men stop to wonder
why il is thus appointed by Him who
Riveth and taketh away. We are re-
minded of the touching lines of Mrs.
Hemans:
Leaves have their time to fall,
And flowers TO wither at the North
winds breath;
And stars to set; but all

own, o Death.
