How sweet, how pure, they are!''
she said, breathing in the fragrance OF
the apple blossoms on the branch he
bent down for her.
Like your-like a maiden's love-" he
added, with designed sentimentality.
And how quickly they wither and
come to naught-another similarity
she said, with malice aforethought
heading him Off.
"Or turn hard and sour and fill lis
with pain and anguish if. like silly lit
tie boys, we think we like Them" he
amended grimly, aware of her object.
For half a second she looked into his
scowling eyes with relcnting twinkle
growing in her own.
But if we have little patience they
grow sweet and wholesome again. and
and delicious for domestic uses-pies
for instance" she whispered between a
laugh and sigh.
The scowl turned into a bewildered
stare. Then Providence sent him a
spark Of intelligence.
Mabel" he cried eagerly. Selling her
hands-"Mabel, l adore apple pies"
"And-and, Jack, / make very good
Ones" she murmured demurely.
And then-all the apple blossoms
flushed delicate pink.

ST. Elizabeth of Hungary

1t is curious that st. Elizabeth of
Hungary should have spent only the
first four years of her life in the coun-
try which always distinguishes her
name. She was only just four when
her father, the king Of Hungary, sent
her to Thuringia to be betrothed to
the nine-yeaF-Old Prince Louis, and
there she remained all through her
childhood and married life until her
death in 1881. Perhaps, says the Lon
don Chronicle, because she is one Of
the few saints whose holiness did not
preclude love and marriage she always
seems particularly human saint, and
the tales that are told Of her-how, for
instance, she gave away her toys and
dolls to poor children when she was
but baby herself, how the food she
was taking to beggars in covered
basket turned to red and white roses
when her husband lifted the lid, how
she heard bird singing to her on her
deathbed and sang to it In reply-all
point to the poetry and charm which
are associated with her name.

Worship of Wells.

Worship o. wells was everywhere
comon in England and Ireland before
the days of Christianity. Even yet.
in spite of the canons of st. Anselm,
issued in HOP against well worship.
relics of it are found in some Eng
fish and Irish neighborhoods. The
third Sunday in May is known as
Sugar-and-Water Sunday, it having
been the custom for many centuries
in the north of England to meet on
that day at the wells in the neighbor-
hood to drink sugar and water, cere-
mony at which the village girls were
supposed to be the hostesses of the
young men. When this had been done
the party generally went to the near
est inn, where the young men re-
turned the hospitality they had re-,
ceived with cakes, ale and punch.

A Walters Walk.

Some interesting particulars are
given as to the ground covered by a
waiter in dancing attendance upon
the guests in restaurant in Chris
tiania, says the Westminster Gazette.
The waiter had provided himself with
a pedometer before starting his work.
According to his calculations, he took
rather under 100000 steps, covering
some thirty-seven miles, between
a. m. and 1890 p. m. Working (and
walking) four days a week, he cal
culated that he covered more than
1000 miles in year. Which would
seem to show that Swedish walters
take their work very seriously; I'M
less, indeed, the pedometer was fast"

Across the Fields Afar.

/ listen to the Sunday bells
Across the fields afar,
Beyond the din of city and
The roaring of the car;
And ev'ry echo falling soft.
1t calls me back again
TO shady lanes and sunny mead5
OF valley and of plain.
] see the quiet people stroll,
And hear their passing feet,
Again / see the little church
That fronts the village street
The quaint old pews they beckon me,
The pulpit overhead.
And cen the marble stones above
My own beloved dead.
Again II. fancy leaning there.
Within the corner pew,
/ look upon the faces OF
The old time friends and true.
I hear the .lowly mnrmurs of
The softly whispered prayer;
Again / see the pastor with
His crown of silver hair.
The lilac bushes laden with
Sweet censers. they distil
Perfume and shower petals on
The shady window sill.
And Oh the echoes softly fall
On valley and on plain
And oh, the bells they call me to
The little church again.

STONE IN PERPETUAL NOTION.
What Would Happen to Projectile
Dropped Through the Earth.

Dropped Through the Earth.
Most OF us have probably speculated,
at one time or another, what would
happen if hole were bored right
through the earth and one were to
drop stone into it; and f. r. A. S.
now gives his views on this puzzling
question. .The stone, he says, would
fall with increasing speed to the CEN
ter OF the earth, where it would have
attained speed of nearly 800 miles a
minute. It's momentum would carry it
at constantly reducing speed through
the remaining half of its journev until
by the time it appeared at the antipo-
dean end of the hole it would have
come to standstill 1t would then
begin to drop again, and would per-
form exactly the same journey on its
return to the starting point. Thus it
would continue to travel backward and
forward from one end of the earth to
the other practically forever. Lon
