HER ROMANCE.

she told reporter. she makes $3.50
a week. She pays 81 a week for a
room and but little more than that for
food. Out Of her savings she had ac-
cumulated about ten years ago 81 COO
which seems marvellous
Then she put her money in build
Ing and loan association. 1t failed, and
she lost the entire amount.
Despite the loss Of her hard earned
savings, Rose Robinson began again to
put money in the savings banks. She
now has something more than 5000
Long continued toll at meager wa ges
and pinching economy are nothing new
in the annals of labor operatives. and
in this respect Rose Robinson is not
different from others. She has saved
more money than most of such work
ers, and But listen.
1T was my wish as 4 young WON
an she says. ''to have little girl of
my own. But 1t was not meant that
my wish should be gratified. for no
man has asked me to marry him.
Though disappointed and childless,
this handwriting woman decided to
save her money for some baby" to be
selected after her death by the Chris
tian Missionary society. Listen again.
Whenever l put a dollar away l
would say to myself, There is a pair
of shoes for Rosy or, There's book
for her. That made it easy, and l
was surprised to find how much l
could save"
That is Rose Robinsons romance.
Denied what women most desire, her
life has Powered into a sweet devotion
to some future Rosy" whom she will
never see.
Her friends say she is the happiest
woman they know. They say she has
4 sweet face. No doubt of it. In the
face OF such woman there must be
winsomeness and the softening lines
that come from submission to PrOvi-
dence and devotion to a high purpose
Giving makes her happy. She has Civ
en- even more than the widow who, as
the Master stood over against the
treasury, cast In her mite. She has
given infinitely more than the rich
givers of our modern day. She has
given-herself!

A WElGHTY REASON.
II Told Why One Of the Nineteen Com
missions Was Executed.

Before a certain gentleman set out
for Japan and India his relatives gave
him errandS. One wanted an Indian
shawl another a silver Buddha. a
third a chryselephantin carving. and
so on. till the LIST Of commissions was
appalling. He agreed. however. to fill
them so far as possible.
But when he returned he had exc
cuted but one of the nineteen commits
sions that had been given him. He
had brought back only the chrysele-
phantine carving. This he gave to one
smiling cousin amid the disappointed
looks Of the other relatives. Why. the
disappointed ores asked. had he exc
cuted that one particular commission
and disregardedt the rest?
The traveller smiled. 1T happened -
he began quietly. that each of you
had written your commission on a
sheet of paper. On the second day of
the voyage out l took all these sheets
of paper from my notebook. opened
them and spread them on my lap as
l reclined in my steamer chair.
The air was very still at the time,
but suddenly brisk wind sprang up.
and every sheet was blown away ex-
cept that Of Cousin Max. Maxs sheet
was weighted down with the gold coin
he had given me to pay for his cary
ing."-St. James Gazette.

Haydn's Dictionary of Dates"
makes the statement that the old name
of the city of London was written
Lynden or Llyndin. meaning 1.-The city
on the lake" An old tradition gives
us to understand that London was
founded by Brute. a descendant of
Aeneas. and called New Troy or Troy
novant until the time of Lud. who sur
rounded the town with walls and
named it Caer-Lud. or Lud's Town
This latter is probably the correct yer

tect similarity between the expires

Oil Of thu PorpoisA,

The porpeises killed in winter are
the latest. and produce most oil. The
largest size measure about seven feet
in length. five feet in girth and weigh
about 800 pounds. Such porpoise
yields from six to seven gallons of oil.
The blubDer of big porpoise weighs
about 100 pounds and is one and u
half inches thick in summer and two
in winter. The jaws OF the porpoise
yield a superior quality of oil. When
hung up in the sun it readily drips
away into cans provided for the pur-
pose. the quantity of oil thus procur-
ed. however. being not more than half
a pint to the jaw. The oil from the
blubber gives an excellent light and is
in demand along the coast for light
house use. 1t has no offensive Odor.
