How She Would Save Juliet.

Mrs Drinkwater, wife of the genial
colonel, spent some weeks last sum-
mer in Northern Maine, at the COM
Portable farmhouse of an honest Wild
ow, Mrs. Brand, who adds to income
by keeping summer boarders.
Recently Mrs. Brand made her
first visit to Boston. and while there
met Mrs Drinkwater, who took her
to see Julia Marlowe in Romeo and
Juliet" Mrs. Brand had never be-
fore been to a theater. Camp meet
in Z" had been her widest dissipation
Mrs. Drinkwater's interest was
equally divided between her compaTl-
ion and the stage. When they left
the theater Mrs. Brand was silent.
Her usual volubility had quite desert
ed her Mrs. Drinkwater respected
her silence and said nothing until
they wer well on their homeward way.
At last she ventured to ask; How did
you like it, Mrs. Brandt"
Mrs. Brand turned toward her and
the tears started to her eyes as she
said: "Oh, Mrs. Drinkwater, I couldn't
help thinkin' how different that play
might have ended if the nuss had
been a different kind of a woman, and
pointed Juliet to Jesus."-Boston

top of which is adorned with gold
thread This feather is said to be

ton of being the only one of the kind
in the world 1t took twenty years to
procure it, and it caused the death OF
more than a dozen hunters. The rea-
son the pursuit of the periwak. is so
dangerous is because it inhabits the

PESTS CAUSE IMMENSE LOSS
Enormous Waste Through Ravages of
Voracious Insects.

Statisticians say that the chinch
mug annually destroys crops valued at
100000, 900; that the grasshopper eats
up S50,000,000 worth; the Hessian fly
$40,000,000; the cotton root worm,
the corn-ear worm, the cotton bell
weevil and the codling moth of apple
each $20,000,000; the army worm $15,-
100000, the cotton leaf worm and the
potato bug $4,000, 900 each, and the
cabbage worm S5,0O0,0OO. This makes
a total of $29S ,OO0,O 900 worth of prod
ucts that might have been expected
to, but never do, get into the market
because of the ravageS of these most
numerous insects. And this is not the
only loss charged to the their ac-
count. Shortage of crops affects vari-
Gus industries and increases prices,
and deal of money is spent in fight
ing the pest. Taking into account all
these things, the annual loss in this
country from insect pests, distributed
among the various products, is esti-
mated as follows: Cereal, 5000, 0OO,-

Forces That Make for Good.

I'VE are living, we are moving in a
grand and awful time" The time is
grand because it contemplates the
business federation of the world. The
time is awful because of the marvels
in the field of commerce and trans
portation. The civilization, which
the superficial may say is bottomed
on materialism, is really inspired by
the forces which make for peace, for
commerce, for communication and for
interchange. Those forces make for
brotherhood, for fellowship and for
friendship They are essentially spir-
itualizing forces, world knitting
forces, war-stopping forces and unity
ing forces on behalf of all that can
be said to make for the kingdom of
God on the earth and in the hearts of
men.-Brooklyn Eagle

THE WORLDS wIckEDEsT CITY
Many Great Centers of Population
Have Been Thus Designated.

Oliver Ninmann, an enthusiastic re
ligious preacher, has been telling how
Berlin is the wickedest city in the
world The information will be re-
ceived with surprise doubtless by all
of the inhabitants of the German cap
ital and with indignation by most of
Them.
The "wickedest city," however, has
been named by different cities at diff
ferent times, and probably no two of
the critics agreed on the same city.
New York, Chicago, London, Paris
and others have been described each
in it's turn as the wickedest city"
Once when travelling Briton told
a lady of New York society that he
had found American manners afro
cious, the lady merely lifted her eye
brows in sympathetic surprise and
assured the gentleman that he must
have had rather unfortunate letters
of introduction.
In like spirit, anybody can find the
''wickedest city" by acquainting him
self only with its wicked features and
by ignoring the fact that the great
modern municipality in every case is
a huge center of all kinds of the most
beneficent influences and activities

characteristics Of Gen. Grant.

Gen. Frederick D. Grant, who is in
command of the department of the
east, with headquarters on Cover
nor's island, is making himself useful
in number of quiet ways entirely
distinct from his military responsible
tiles. Gen. Grant is a good listener,
as was his famous father, and when
he has anything to say he says it
clearly and in so direct a manner
that every one can understand what
he means. He seldom appears in uni
form in public, but is always one of
the best dressed men to be found in
New York city, and while other men
in a public meeting will lounge about
in careless manner as to position and
dress he always sits in his chair with
a military erectness- His resem-
blance to his father increases every
year.

that for every Irish saint Casey would
name he could pick hair from Lew

Moses. Then Casey named ST. Mich

Adam, but named st. Nicholas for his,

Drafts over deep wells are usually

as the pressure rises and drawn out

the strang phenomenon of a continu-
