LOVERS TALK OVER HOUSE
TOPS BY WIRELESS.

Wireless telegraphy has found q
new application in Paris, namely:
private communication between
amourous couples across the house
tops.
Two young cousins, both aged
eighteen, were on turtle dove terms.
AS both are telegraph operators they
contriyed a scheme whereby they
established q wireless apparatus of
their own construction on their re-
spective balconies. The distance
which separated them was about
three miles but this distance was
easily traversed bJ the Hertzisn
waves. One of the first missives
sent contained the address of each
and the communications thereafter
proceeded merrily every evening.
But they had not counted on the
government. An official stationed at
the wireless post on the Eiffel Tower
had perceived this competition with
the wireless service of the state.
These new Hertzian messages coming
in upon the official receiver of the
government reused his attention. He
noted down the two addresses given
by the lovers and what they meant.
Some days later inspectors arrived at
the respective homes of the cousins
and carried away the offending ap-
paratuses with warning that if the
offenses were renewed it would mean
q heavy fine.

MISSION OF THE HOLLY.

When summer has gone with its roses
And the bright leaves of autumn are ssrs.
While the landscape too plainly discloses
A season ruthless and drear-
Most welcome now is the holly
That heralds the feast of peace,
Charming away melancholy,
Bidding vain regrets to cease.
Dear voices are hushed this December
That were thrilling one year ago,
Sweet faces gone, hearts remember,
So loath to let them CO.
Some chair may be left standing
Vacant when comes the feast,
In token of that disbanding,
Each at the last released.
But thro' the hours too fieeting,
A strange new balm distills,
And music of joyous greeting
Seems an echo of laughing rills;
Then eyes may wander from brilliance
To rest on the sprays of green,
With their tints of crimson radiance
From berries all serene.
There be thoughts that are left unspoken
Save where the dreamless sleep;
Thus the holly may tell as token
Of peace that is brooding deep
Each leaf, too, may breathe a requiem
Softly as dews are shed,
Though wreathed into diadem
To crown the unconscious dead.

For refreshments we had ice cream

sPEcTER OF CONSTANT JEALOUSY.
When man is afraid to remark at
the breakfast table, even mildly and
casually, that, from what he has heard,
Cleopatra was a beautiful woman, it is
fair to assume that the specter OF con-
slant jealousy dwells in that household.
When wife fears to look at the moon
because she may be accused of admiring
the man in it, the husband needs to be
gently reminded that he is taking
very rapid short cut to killing the love
ne seems to hold so sacred. Love is fed
by confidence, trust, faith and serene,
restful reliance, but morbid jealousy is
poison Of doubt, suspicion and injustice
that dulls the love it does not deaden.
Jealousy is disease that can be cured
only by TIE subject. not by anyone else
In all the world Nomatter howg gentle,
kind, forbearing, forgiving and for
getting the object of it may be, this in
itself will not cure the attacks. The
subject whose heart is thus swayed by
fierce gales of jealousy must first
awaken to the folly of it, the injustice
OF it; must be conscious of the trial of
bitterness and unhappiness it brings to
both, must realize the cruel continued
assault on the tolerance, love loyalty
and patience of the other, and, when
the next attack comes, seek by strength
of will, by force of character, by every
weapon in the armory of the soul, to
kill the feeling. Jealousy must be
killed in the thought In the mind, the
battle-ground of the soul, must the
fight of determination be waged. In
the thought must the jealousy be
neutralized by faith, conquered by
justice, and transformed by trustful
love into restful, abiding confidence
that only absolute proof and certainty
of just cause for jealousy can ever
reawaken- William George Jordan in
the February Delineator.

"The people here do not drink
enough water to keep healthy" ex-
claimed well-known authority.
"The numerous cases of stomach
trouble, kidney and bladder diseases
and rheumatism are mainly due to
the fact that the drinking of water,
natures greatest medicine, has been
neglected.
Stop loading your system with
patent medicines and cure-alls; but
get on the water wagon. If you are
really sick, why, of course, take the
proper medicines-plain common
vegetable treatment, which will not
shatter the nerves or ruin the
stomach"

scription for the cure of rheumatism

THE GREATEST ROBBERS

Experts estimate that the annual
loss to crop values in this country
through the ravages of insects is at
least $780, 200, ,OOO.-Cincinnati En-
quirer.
--LATEST UNwELCoME IMMIGRANT.
1t is frequently the case in this
foolish old world of ours that, while
folks are worrying over some troubls
which never msterislizes, their pre-
occupationis is utilized to the gaining
of a foothold within their preserves
of some real evil.
And now it seems that during the
months that q sensational press has
been stirring a credulous people to
apprehension of "yellow peril" on
our Western coast, the gates to the
Eastward have been improvidently
left sjsr, and through them has
poured an invading army threatening
to set the Rooseyeltian big stick at
defiance and to cut wide swath of
desolation through the fields and
orchards of our fruitful land.
Strange that while the American
potato has proved the mainstay of
life to millions of the inhabitants of
less favored countries, and while our
tobacco has come to be a necessary
solace to all the dwellers upon earth,
we have as yet taken nothing but
harm from beast or bird or plant i'm
ported to these shores from climes
beyond the sea. The exceptions are
so few as to prove the disastrous rule.
The "Tree of Heaven" introduced
at large expense by some philsn-
thropic fool, has overspread the con-
tinent with its stencil. A premium
now lies upon the head of that pro-
life rabbit, which, heralded as boon,
has grown to be the champion nuis-
ance of thesections which invited it.
The English sparrow. SO cordially
welcomed few years ago, is now the
object of universal detestation, dis
turber of the public peace, cuckoo
who has usurped the nests of all our
sweet native songsters.
And now some inconsiderate
cockney has brought over aud turned
loose in New York q consignment of
English starlings, of all the tribe of
black-birds the most pestiferous in
habit the least useful, the most
alarming breeders, ,ill-natured, greedy,
ugly; living on fruit and berries, and
disdainful of an insect diet; they
have but one redeeming attribute,
that single note of song which will
ill repay the havoc they will wreak
from Maine to Texas.-Norfolk vir-

OLD BRUTON CHURCH.

Old Bruton Episcopal church, at
Williamsburg, Va, is about to be
refurnished, and the interior rear
ranged, and the committee IN charge
has written to a prominent Episco-
palian in Irvington asking for draw
ings showing plans of pews, location
OF pulpit, communsion table. ETC., of
Christ Episcopal church, this county,
with view to adopting the high
square style of pews to lend to Its
historic appearance. A bit of history
connected with Bruton church, as
compiled by Rev. w. A. r. Goodwin,
A. NJ. rector, is as follows:
When the church at jamestown
was abandoned the font and the COM
munion service were brought to
Bruton church. In 1852 Middle
Plantation subsequently Williams
burg) was laid out and paled iu. In
1864 a parish in James City was
created. called "Harrop Parish, {"
which on April 1, 164S, was united
with Middle Plantation, forming
Middle Parish. In 1674 the parish
of Marston and Middletown Parish
were united and became known as
Bruton Parish. The name was given
in honor of Thomas Ludwell, ESQ
who was born at Bruton, in the
county of Somerset, England, who
departed this life in the year 1878
and whose remains are inferred in
the Bruton churchyard.
The present edific was built in
l7l5 on the foundations of the old
church constructed in 1888, and It
is the oldest Episcopal church having
had continuous service in the United
States.

Sir Thomas Upton writes magazine
article describing the amazing prosperity
In America in every department of

exaggeration to declare that at no
previous period of human industry has
such prosperity been known in any

making money and in. such piles that
the ordinary standards of comfort and
luxury are being replaced by new ideals.

ridiculous theory. American prosperity
is based upon the immense expansion
of solid industries, the increased pur.
chasing power of the people and the
legitimate development of agriculture
and mining industries, while the gen.
