The Rev. John Brown of Haddington,
the author of the 'Self Interpreting BIZ
ble," was man of singular bashful-
ness. His courtship lasted seven years
Six and half years had passed away,
and the reverend gentleman had got no
further than he had been in the first
six days. A step in advance must be
made, and Mr.. Brown summoned all his
courage for the deed. Janet" said he
one day as they sat in solemn silence,
we've been acquainted now six years
and mair, and I've ne'er gotten a kiss
yet. Dye think l might take one, my
bonnie lass?' ''Just as you like, John;
only be becoming and proper WI it,
"Surely, Janet; Wen ask blessing"
The blessing was asked, the kiss was
taken, and the worthy divine, overpOw-
cred With the blissful sensation, raptu-
rously exclaimed: "Heigh, lass. but it
is guide! Well return thanks!' Six
months later the pious couple were
made one flesh.

The Old Time Parlor.

The days of the parlor are fast going.
There was once a time when every
family, no matter how poor, had it's
parlor. And generally the parlor was
a most useless place, but it was the
pride of the housewife The Obseryant
Citizen remembers some time ago when
the lady Of the house insisted that he
should see her parlor." Her husband
smiled good naturally, and they both
led the way to a.big front room which
was locked. The door was unlocked,
and the parlor got its first fresh air in
months The little family had expend-
ed much money on the parlor. Every
thing was new but the stuffed birds
under glass cases. The design of the
carpet was wonderful in that it consist
ed of bright red roses. One felt like
stepping into bed of flames A horse
shoe sofa, very erect, was the principal
article of furniture, while at the win
dows were the stiffest lace curtains you
ever saw. The room had a musty
smell due to long confined air. 1t was
luxury imprisoned" on a small scale
and the finest example of the old time
useless parlor-Manchester Union.

SOiIed Clothes Barrel.

'When l was in Sydney, New South
Wales" said a traveller, II visited the
botanical gardens, the largest and
most magnificent park in Sydney, but
l had hardly stepped inside the grounds
when | saw a sign that nearly took
my breath away.
'"The sign was a notice to the public
that no person wearing a dirty shirt
would be permitted to enter the
grounds. 1t was such a remarkable
notice that | looked up one of the
keepers for an explanation. And, do
you know, his explanation was quite
plausible.
"We don't want a labOring man to
come here in his working Clothes" he
said. 1--WE want him to so home and
put on clean clothes and bring his fam
lily here, looking neat and clean and
have a good time That makes the sur
roundings more cheerful for everybody
concerned" San Francisco Chronicle.

Roosevelt to Japan and Russia is as

Roosevelt to Japan and Russia is as
follows:
''The president feels that the time
has come when in the interest OF all
mankind he must endeavor to see it it
is not possible to bring to an end the
terrible and lamentable conflict now
being waged. With both Russia and
tied ties of friendship and good WILL
1t hopes for the prosperity and welfare
OF each, ana it feels that the progress
of the world is set back by the war
between these two great nations. The
president accordingly urges the Rus
only for their own sakes but in the in
terest of the whole civilized world. to
open direct negotia tons for peace with
one another.
1.-THE president suggests that these
peace negotiations be conducted direct
" and exclusively between the belliger
ents; in other words, that there may be
meeting of Russian and Japanese
plenipOtentiaries or delegates without
any intermediary. in order to see il it
is not possible for these representa-
tives of the two powers to agree to
terms of peace. The president earnest
~ asks that the RUSSIAN or JapaneseI
government do now agree to such a
meeting and is asking the Russian or
Japanese] government likewise to
agree.
"Whle the president does not feel
that any intermediary should be called
in in respect to the peace negotiations
themselves he is entirely willing to do
what he properly can if the two pow
ers concerned feel that his services will
be of aid in arranging thepreliminaries
as to the time and place of meeting
But if even these preliminaries can be
arranged directly between the two pow
ers or in any other way, the president
will be glad, as MS sole purpose is to
bring about a meeting which the whole
civilized world will pray may result
in peace"

Preservation of Meat.

Meat is commonly preserved by
sleeping it in brine. This method,
however, has the undesirable effect of
extracting from the meat much soluble
nutritious matter besides rendering the
meat harder and less diges.ible. An
other way of preserving it IS in air
tight cases. The cases are packed with
meat and filled up with gravy and are
then Theoretically sealed except at one
point They are then exposed to heat
above that of boiling water for several
hours, thus destroying all the existing
germs and driving out all the air con-
tanned in them. The open part is then
soldered over. If by any accident the
tin is not Theoretically sealed the meat
will spoil Queen.

How and why 1t Rains.

Rain is an accumulation of the tiny
particles of the vapor Of the atmos-
phere into drops. These drops, first
small of size, attract others of their
kind and become drops Of such magni-
tude that they fall to the earth because
Of their weight. There is a limit to the
quantity Of water which the air is capa-
BILE of absorbing and retaining as in
visible vapor Warm air is able to hold
more than cold air; hence when the
air which is saturated with moisture
becomes cold for any reason whatever
it can no longer retain it's moisture. A
portion must under such condition ac-
cumulate into drops. These fall to the
earth in the shape Of rain
