Making a Scrap Book.

Mankind may be divided into two
classes, those who preserve fugitive
clippings and those who don't. Among
the former are many who for lack OF
classification become victims Of their
own belongings. They clip assiduous-
ly, they lay aside newspapers contain
ing articles they wish to keep for ref
erence, and they postpone the task OF
sorting and arrangement to the rainy
day or the interval of leisure which
never arrives. Presently they are dis
mayed to find themselves confronted
by pile of ephemeral literature noun
tain high, wherein it seems hopeless
even to blaze a trail. That is where the
person Of meticulous. orderly habits
shows his irritating superiority. With
him day unto day has uttered wisdom
he has tabulated and pigeonholed his
stores as they came to his hand. 1t
does not prove that you are literary
and learned to raise a vast rubbish
heap around yourself or to live in
ruin that suggests the visit of Il Zeppe-
lin. Those who keep scrapbooks are
likely to reckon them among the most
precious items in their libraries.-Ph1l-
adelphia Ledger.

THE WORD "LOVE."
In the Orient 1t Means to Like or ls
Used to Express Good Will.

Used to Express Good Will.
The word "love'' has been more high
ly specialized in the west than in the
east. In its proper English use it
means only that ardent, amorous feel
ing which cannot be created by will
and design. In the west the word
"love" has been relieved of the func-
ton Of expressing the less ardent de-
sires, such as the terms Ito like" Ito
have good will toward" and Ito be
well disposed toward" simply.
Not so in the east. The word ''like,"
meaning ''to be favorably inclined to-
ward" is not found either in the Bible
or in the Arabic tongue. In the Eng
lish version of the Bible it is used in
two places, but the translation is in
correct. In the twenty fifth chapter OF
Deuteronomy and the seventh verse,
eff the man like not to take his broth
er's wife," should be rendered eff the
man consent not" and in the fourth
chapter of Amos, the fifth verse, "For
this liketh you, o We children of Is
y
loved o We children of Israel" In
any standard concordance of the BIZ
BILE the Hebrew verb aheb-to love
precedes these quotations.
So to us orientals the only word
which can express any cordial inclina-
ton of approval is ''love." One loves
his wife and children and loves grapes
and figs and meat, if he likes these
things. An employer says to an en-
ployee, eff you love to work for me
according to this agreement you can"
1t is nothing uncommon for one to
say to a casual acquaintance whom he
likes, 81 must say, sahib friend), that
I love you!" know of no equivalent
in the Arabic for the phrase, II am in
terested in you" Love" and "hate"
are the usual terms by which to ex-
press approval and disapproval. as
well as real love and hatred.
From oil this it may be seen that
when the Great Oriental Teacher said
to his countrymen, who considered all
other clans than their own as their en-
emies, "Love your enemies" he did
not mean that they should be enamor-
ed Of them, but that they should have
good will toward them. We cannot
love by will and design, but we GER
tainly can will to be well disposed
even toward those who, we believe,
have i'll will toward us.-Abraham Nit

SAINTS OF ILLS AND TRADES.
Holy Friendships Consoled Pious Peo-
pIe In the Middle Ages.

The trustful and childlike piety of
the middle ages believed that the citi-
zens of heaven were interested in ev-
cry phase of mems lives, and there was
not a single trade, profession or occu-
patton that did not boast a special
patron, while certain diseases were
thought to be cured and certain vista
lions warded off through the interces-
sion and agency of particular saints.
Thus st. Andre was the patron or
fishermen, st. Isidore Of husbandmen,
St. Christopher of porters, st. Mark OF
lawyers, IS. Cosmas and Damian OF
doctors, st. Joseph of carpenters, st.
Crispin of shOemakers, st. V1tus or &C
tors, st. Gregory of singers, st. Dlsmas
supposed name of the good thief OF
criminals condemned to death. ST. Apol-
lonia was believed to cure toothache,
st. Blaise sore throat, SIS. Clare and
Lucy sore eyes, while st. Benedict pre-
served his clients from poison and st.
Hubert from the bite of mad dogs.
"Men," says Montalembert, "lived In
a tender and intimate familiarity with
those forefathers whom God had evil
IDENTIFY called to himself and whose
sanctity the church has proclaimed.
From the king and the pontiff to the
poorest workman each had a special
protector in heaven, and in the battles,
dangers and sorrows of life these holy
friendships exercised a most consoling

Northport' S
Mystery
Chance Aided In Solving 1t.
By ALEXANDRA DAGMAR

She came to Northport alone and
unannounced, an entire stranger to
everybody. She boarded at Mrs.
Folks, and it was thought that when
fall came she would go away, as did
the few other city jewellers who
were able to get summer accommo-
dations in the conservative old
town. But when fall came she
bought pretty cottage on a quiet
street.
The first thing Mrs. Wrest did
after going into the house was to
hire Cornelia Bangs, partly as a
servant, partly as companion. Cor
nelia was a peculiar old soul, but
respectable and a good worker, and
the position Mrs. Wrest offered
must have been real godsend.
Of course all the ladies in the
neighborhood went to call upon the
new resident. She received them
graciously and served them with tea
and cakes made in Cornelia's best
style. But she told them nothing
that they had come to hear, and
they went away with their curiosity
completely baf1ed. Who was Mrs.
Wrest? Whence had she come?
Was she widow or Divorce? They
were at liberty to conjecture what
they chose, but they could find out
nothing positively.
Cornelia Bangs, being proverbial-
Iy close mouthed, was as impene-
trable as her mistress. She didn't
know. That was the answer she
made to all queries.
It was evident that Mrs. Wrest
meant to live very quietly and cared
very little for social doings. Most
of her time she passed in reading
or playing upon her violin or doing
little kindnesses for the sick and
needy.
Mrs. Wrest attended all the serv-
ices of the church, although she had
presented no letter for membership.
She dressed always very beautiful in
black, but she wore no jewelry save
large pearl brooch, which Mrs.
Hay, the jewelers. wife, said was
the finest of the kind she had ever
seen.
No other woman in Northport
had such a way of wearing her
clothes, Of carrying herself, of tilt
ing her chin.
And no other woman was as beau
tiful. If she had not been beauti-
full there would not have been so
much said or thought about her.
She had a calm, pale face, sur
rounded with dark hair as with
frame. Her eyes also were dark, in
scrutable in their depth and still
ness. Her mouth dropped a little,
but then some mouths are not shap-
ed for constant smiling. 1t was not
a sad mouth, and it was not happy
one. It was just still, like the rest
of her face.
If she had had a great sorrow
she hid it skillfully or else she had
no heart. There were a great many
women who thought she had no
heart. That is often the first accu-
sation brought against a beautiful
woman by others who are not so
beautiful.
She had lived in Northport two
years when something hannened.

Merchants Get Together on
Night Closing
Grocery Men Have Not as
Yet Fallen in Line But
Expect to Soon.

Beginning with Monday
evening of this week the
clothing and dry goods stores
and the meat markets began
closing at 6:3O o'clock and
the "bosses" and their clerks
have been enjoying their
evenings. The arrangement
as agreed upon is to close
every evening in the week
except Saturdays and Mon
days and plant pay days.
After July 4 the stores will
also close on Monday even
ing.
The grocery men of the
city have also had several
meetings andit is said every
one is willing to close even
ings. excepting one merchant
and for this reason all with
the exception of Corning and
Milberg have been keeping
open.
The practice of keeping
open until late at night is
rapidly being done away with
in the progressive cities and
Washburn should also fall in
line in every branch of the
mercantile business.
