Sister Wynfreda's hand fell upon the girls
arm. "Disquiet yourself no further" she
whispered. TT is useless and to no end.
If it please the Lord to bless our labors
the wound will soon be healed. Come this
way, where he cannot hear our voices, and
tell me what moves you to speak of leav-

The nun reached out and caught the gay
cloak, gasping. 1.-The Danish camp? You
speak in a raving fit! Better you thrust
yourself into den of ravenous beasts. You
know not what you say"
Offense stiffened the figure under the
cloak. 1T is you who do not know. Now,
as always, you think about Canute what

BULGARIAN ARMY,
Is Small, but Well Trained and of a
High Quality.
From the Brooklyn Eagle.

FROM lHe broOkIyn Eagle.
In times of peace Bulgaria has a standing
army of $1,000 soldiers while in case Of
war 100000 stand ready to be called upon,
quite as brave, all of them, as those who
under the leadership of Prince Alexander
wrested victory from the Servians on the
field of SlivnitZa. Though so much smaller
numerically than the Turks the quality Of
the Bulgarian army is equal, if not superior,
for the Bulgarians inherit the fighting blood
of their Thracian and Illyrian forbears,
concerning whom Herodotus said: IF they
could only agree among themselves they
would be the greatest of all nations" Even
800 years vassalage to Turkey has failed
to extinguish their national bravery.
Furthermore, both officers and the rank
and file of the army are Of a much higher
order of intelligence than the Ottomans
Since their emancipation fine public school
system has provided education for the
masses, while the higher official element
have all been educated in Austria, Germany
France or Robert College. our own Ameri-
can institution, on the Bosphorus. Until
1892 Russian prestige was paramount, the
army being drilled by Russians and Russian
officials dominating the court but the Bull
garians are most Independent of people,
and. resenting too much outside Interior
ence, sent the Russians about their own
business. Since then Bulgaria has stood for
Bulgaria alone in church, state and army

with all the modern appliances for war,
even to a bicycle corps. which could do
good service over the superb government
built roads of Bulgaria, though they would
be obviously at a disadvantage in the noun
tain passes of Macedonia. At least one
fifth of the regular Bulgarian army is made
up of Macedonians eager to get the fine
military training, even at the modest sti-
pend of 81 a month and found" It was
in this way that Sarafof and his principal
associates received the training that has
stood them in such good stead, even though
the tactics are distinctly different from
| those necessary in guerilla warfare. 1t is
these white-capped Macedonian troops, we'll
drilled and scattered among all the princi-
pal cities of Bulgaria, that have served to
keep the sentiment of Macedonian freedom
alive among Bulgarians On their return
to their own homes these whilom soldiers
have left their uniforms behind and as
sumed their peasant garb, but the lessons
they have learned in the methods of mod
ern warfare are not forgotten, and are
speedily put in practice for the discontinue
of the Turks.

From Success.

from SUCCESS.
In England the lord chancellor, by virtue
of his. Office, has right to inspect all pub
lie asylums and hospitals One day while
the late Lord Herschell was paying a visit
at the house of a friend near Norwich he
went for an afternoon stroll and, happen
ing to pass by the great insane asylum at
that place, the thought struck him that
this was good time to perform an Off
cial duty. Incidentally. 1t may be said that
Herschell bore the reputation Of being
somewhat pompous at times. He knocked
at the door, which, after a long delay, was
opened by an attendant.
You can't come tn,' he was informed.
It's not visiting hours"
THAT makes no difference. I shall in
spect this institution just the same"
Indeed, but you'll not"
Come, come, my goOo man; I'm the lord

tionary, we've four Of you inside al

OBJECT OF THE HOME.
Mistake of Women Who Are Always
Fighting Dust.

From the Cooking School.
The truest homes are often in houses not
especially. well kept, where the comfort and
happiness of the inmates, rather than ex-
IRENE tidiness and the preservation Of the
furniture, is first consulted. The object Of
! the home is to be the center, the pivot on
which the family life turns. The first
requisite is to make it so attractive that
none of its members shall care to linger
long outside its limits. All legitimate
means should be employed to this end and
no effort spared that can contribute to this
purpose. There are many houses called
homes. kept with such waxy neatness by
painstaking. anxious women, that are so
Oppressive in their nicely as to exclude all
home feeling from their spotlesS precincts.
The very name of home is synonymous
with personal freedom and relaxation from
care; solid comfort.
But neither Of these can be felt where
such mania for external cleanliness per-
vades the household as to render everything
they see speck on the floor or wall, or
bit Of thread or paper on the floor, rush at
1t as If 1t were the seed of pestilence, which
must be removed on the instant. Their
temper depends upon their maintenance of
perfect purity and order. If there be any
failure on their part or any combination of
circumstances against them they fail into
a pathetic despair and can hardly be lifted
out They do not see that cheerfulness Is
more needed at home than all the spotless-
ness that ever shone.. Their disposition to
wage war upon immaculateness Of any sort
increases until they become slaves Of the
broom and dustpan. Neatness is one thing
and state Of perpetual housekeeping quite
another.
Out of this grows by degrees the feeling
that certain things and apartments are too
good for daily use. Hence chairs and sofas
are covered and rooms shut up save for
special occasions when they are permitted
to reveal their violated sacredness in a
manner that mars every pretense of hos
pitality. Nothing should be bought which
is considered too fine for the fullest do
nestle appropriation. Far better is the
plainest furniture on which the children
can climb than satin and damask, which
must be viewed with reverence. When any
thing Is reserved or secluded, to disguise
the fact is extremely difficult. A chilly air
wraps it round, and the repulsion of
strangeness is experienced by the most in
sensible.
Home is not name, nor a form, nor a
routine. 1t is a spirit, presence, a prin-
ciple. Material and method will not and
cannot make it. 1t must get its light and
sweetness from those who inhabt ii, from
flowers and sunshine. from the sympathetic
natures which. in their exercise of SYM
pathy, can lay aside the tyranny of the
broom and the awful duty Of endless scrub
bling.

1t was useless trying to go on. A deep
sob shut off her voice and threatened to
rend her when she tried to hold it back.
Sister Wynfreda strove with gentle arms
to draw her down upon her breast.
Suffer the tears to come, my daughter, "
she urged her tenderly, "or sooner or later
they must"
Randalin pulled away almost roughly,
dashing the drops from her eyes.
"They shall not!" she cried, brokenly.
''They shall not! Am a weak-minded En-
glish woman that I should shed tears be-
cause my kin are murdered? I will shed
blood to avenge them; that is BETTING a
Danish girl. / will not weep-as though
there were shame to wash out. They died
with great glory; like warriors I will fix
1t in my mind that I am a kinswoman Of
warriors. 1 will not weep!'
The older woman shrank little. To ears
attuned to the silence of the grave such an
outburst was little less than terrifying.
She was at a loss how to soothe the girl.
To gain respite she stole away and re-
newed the wounded mans bandages.

FAITH IN LITERATURE.
One of the Things indispensable to an
Author
nd Literat ure.

From The Academy and Literature.
All good literature must be written in
faith. That is its neco ary condition. The
writer's appeal Is n immediate like an
actors or an orators, .r even like paint
ers, a sculptor's or musicians. Its form
is invisible. and In modern times usually in
audible, too It works solely upon the lone
ly mind. and has no outward aid. MOI
can it's effect be tested by anything like the
demonstrations Of a theater. A novelist
once saw young person blush over one of
his books An emperor once saw a dull per-
son laughing over Don Quixote. But such
visible expressions of emotion are rare and
In these days Of print the author himself
can hardly ever hope to witness them. That
is why he of all working people needs most
faith He has to cast his bread upon the
waters, but 1t is extremely unlikely that he
will find it again after many days. And
without driving a metaphor too far) we
may say that the better the bread, the less
chance he has of finding 1t. Instances are
almost too obvious, but let us take the
highest of all and remember that it was
only by mere fiuke that Shakespeare
best plays were even thought worth pre-
serving. Or, to take the case of Blake
again, what chance Of recognition had the
Songs OF Innocence in 1888? Within some
thirty or forty years Charles Lamb and
Wordsworth had discovered them Within
another fifty or sixty years after that they
became the common property of all who
love literature; but by what faith in beauty.
and in mans ultimate recognition of beauty,
must the poet have been inspired, who at
the time when English verse had perhaps
touched its lowest point could raise the
song of THE Echoing Green" or 1.-THE
Chimney Sweeper" or 1.-THE Divine Image
or that song Of Might" with it's meter of
subtle and varying beauty. For $50 years
nothing to compare with such things had
been heard in England, and the world
around Blake was contemptuously deaf to
them. He could only write in faith that
some day human beings would again be
born with minds sufficiently like his own
to perceive the beauty of his work To re-
move mountain is trivial task compar-
ed with the confidence in so vast a change:
and yet the change came
1t is this faith in the ultimate similarity
of great minds which makes great litera-
ture possible, for not even genius could
produce without the hope that at some
time its work would be taken at it's value.
An evidence for the faith may be seen in
the popularity of all the work of the high
est genius-that 1t appears capable of
growth, no matter how old it has become.
There are passages in Homer and Shakes
peare which 1T has been impossible for the
world to appreciate or understand till this
very moment. They appear to have been
growing with the world, so much more
can the world discover in them now than
at any past time. This is why the works
and teachings of the highest genius are
rightly called immortal.

A Queer Trade.
From Everybody's Magazine.


The "hot-pepper'' seller of Mexico is a
merchant who derives his livelihood from
the fact that the Mexican must have his
peppers, whatever else he may deny him
self They are brought to his door by the
countryman, or he may go to the market
place and find them spread out for sale on
mating. The marhet-man, while dressed
inexpensively as far as his bodily garb is
concerned, wears in nearly every instance
an elaborate head-cdvering. Some of these
Mexicans own hats that cost as much as
the rest of their wardrobe. The pride Of
the white man In his Panama is not to be
compared to that OF the Mexican In his
sombrero. 1t Is a. racial characteristic
which finds it's counterpart in the apron Of
the Portuguese onion-seller. Her occupa-
ton may be lowg, hut her apron might be
that Of a woman OF high degree; plush
edged with fur is not uncommon.

SILENT AT THROTTLE.
Locomotive Engineers Not Inclined ia
Be Communicative.

From the Chicago Tribune.
OF the men who sit in the cab of a loco.
motive and turn the machine loose in a race
Of 100 miles in 100 minutes it is said they
are the most modest individuals of the
human family.
This is fact said to be clearly shown by
talk with any of the Chicago engineers
who have any such record. 1t is evidenced
not SO much from what they say when ques-
toned as from what they do not and cannot
be induced to say.
For not two men in a dozen of fast rum
ners are given to talking about what they
have accomplished. Much less are they in-
clined to pass any opinion OF the capabili-
ties Of any other engineer.
Take 1t all in all. the men who ride the
iron horse in races that are appalling are
the oldest characters in the jumpers OF O
mechanic. A short time ago a special train
was chartered to make fast run down the
country. The engineer in taking coal at g
station, was delayed by the coal-chute apron
becoming unmanageable. The man who sat
in the cab ahead was as cool as an iceberg,
but no sooner had the apron been hoisted
out of the way than he opened up the valve
and began a race that for speed and
smoothness was one of thousand.
Arriving at our destination said the
conductor who had charge of the train,
the engineer found awaiting him q tele-
gram from the general superintendent of
the road, who paid him the highest compn-
ment that official could extend to an
employee The man read the telegram and
showed it into the pocket of his blouse with
out change of countenance. No one, from
looking under the peak of his cap, could tell
what sort of a feeling had been Weakened,
even If it affected him at ALL"
A fast runner being approached by an
outsider who wants to know something
about the life of an engineer. will invariably
be asked to see so and SO. who is another
engineer on the same run or division.
Hes a mighty good engineer and can tell
you more of what you want to know than
/ cam" and then he goes about his putting
steed, feeling for hot places and poking a
long-spouted oiler under the machinery. 1t
is 10 to that the other man will get out Of
1t in the same way.
Few engineers who have been found out
of fast runners will make any comparisons
of any kind of their runs with those Of
other engineers. There is one thing, how
ever. about which an engineer of this class
is "touchy." Suppose he has made fast
run. but has been laid out or delayed from
one cause or another. He invariably wants
that delay deducted from the total time OF
the run.
Railroad men say that the longer a man
runs an engine the longer he wants to. He
is in love with his dangerous calling, and
he is veritable duck out of water when
once he realizes that he is laid off for all
time.
