NO. 52. A NEW YEAR "Well, well, so this is New Year's day," said Mr. Spooner. "Do you remember how we quarreled this day one year ago?" "Remember! I think I do!" cried his wife. "Why, the cards were ordered when it happened, and I didn't know whether I could have your name taken out and Dick's inserted, in case I changed my mind." "In case I changed my mind, you mean, dear. Strange that I never suspected how much poor Dora cared for me until that day." "I'm sure she had concealed it very well—the way she ran after Dick, as if he ever had eyes for anybody but me! He never told his love, but a woman's intuition was—" "A synonym of vanity, dear. Of course, I couldn't help knowing that she cared for me when I met her in the boarding house parlor, with her eyes full of tears, on the very morning after you had told Marie, her dearest friend, that we were to be married in a month." "Humph, that girl would cry about anything; I've known her to cry when the villain in the play was killed—as if a villain could expect anything else in the last act. But as soon as I saw Dick that morning I knew that he knew it. Why, his necktie had slipped around under one ear and his voice, as he wished me a happy New Year, was so sad, that I felt guilty, though my conscience told me that I had not encouraged him." "You've forgotten how you used to praise the shape of his head." "As if that meant anything! A girl only praises the shape of a man's head when she can't find anything else to flatter him about. It—it means no more than it does when she tells a small man that he resembles Napoleon. But when I remembered that you had once gone down on the floor in your new trousers to pick up Dora's handkerchief I knew that I had been cruelly deceived. So when you reproached me about Dick, I—" "I remember how badly I felt when she replied to my New Year's greeting with the remark that happiness for her was over forever. And before I could comfort her Miss Marle came in and I could only go sadly away without telling her that I should always be a brother to her." "And poor Dick, I asked nim it there was anything I could do for him; he replied: 'Yes,' but just then the maid came in with a note for him, and he said he must go at once—I think he wished to be alone with his sorrow. Then you came in, and, instead of sharing my pity for him, you accused me of flirting with him!" "I—er—don't remember that. But wasn't it odd that before I left you forever, Miss Marle should come in and tell us that Dora and Dick were engaged! I've often wondered how it happened, that they decided to console each other." "And so have I. Why, here is Marle now—perhaps she can explain. Sit "SHE AND DICK QUARRELED." down, Marie, do. Tom and I are just going over old times. Do you remember last New Year's day, and—" "Indeed I do. I've just been to see Dora, and she was talking about it. She and Dick quarreled last New Year's Eve about the date of their marriage, and almost parted forever. They think you both must have guessed it. I remember that Tom was in the parlor with Dora when I ran in on New Year's morning to tell her of your engagement. She had been on the point of asking him to help her to make up with Dick. And when she told me about it, I wrote him a note telling him that I believed she would forgive him if he came at once. That note found him at your house, Irene, where he had gone to ask your aid as peacemaker. Odd, wasn't it?" The coffee-growing industry in tropical Africa is developing tremendously. The seed was introduced into the country about five years ago by some English missionaries with the object of ascertaining whether the resources of the country were favorable to the culture of the article. The ground appears peculiarly adapted to the industry, since last year 100 tons of coffee were exported from Uganda alone and the result of this year's production will be even greater. Seasonable Savings. The new leaf that very soldom gets turned over is the one in the diary. Some men claim that they see the old year out and the new one in by getting so drunk that they can't see anything. By New Year the silver plating wears off many a Christmas present. A good beginning is half the battle except in the case of keeping a diary. The new date is as hard to remember as the new leaf. Even though the arctic explorer never discovers the north pole he deserves credit, for he always keeps a diary. New Year gives us a chance to reciprocate to those who unexpectedly gave us a present at Christmas. Seeing the old year out puts a man in a fit condition to swear off the next day.—N. Y. World. The New Year's Greeting. "You look worried, Brown," said Green. "Worried! I should say I am, See those?" And he drew out of his overcoat pocket a great bundle of statements of accounts. "He! ha!!" laughed Green, "you will make Christmas present to your wife, will you, without counting the cost first?" The lines around Brown's eyes deepened and his mouth drooped sadly. "No," he said, "that's not it. These are not for presents I made my wife." "Why, what are they for, then?" asked Green, wonderingly. "For the presents my wife made me." And the men shook hands in tender sympathy.—Detroit Free Press. A Happy New Year. A happy New Year!" How many people realize the meaning of the words as they go about with this familiar greeting upon their lips? "I wish you a happy New Year!" Does it not seem that the wish carries a blessing with it? And I believe it does when spoken by friends whose words are always true and sincere. For the benefit of those thoughtless ones who never read between the lines, let us analyze this significant greeting. In the first place we wish our friends happiness, and the next question which naturally suggests itself is, what constitutes happiness? A little friend of mine tells me that it is to eat all the candy he wants and not to go to bed until he wants to do so. Another friend of more mature years says that she would be perfectly happy if she had all the money she wanted to spend as she liked. Another desires fame, another social position. And so we might go on asking and finding out that almost every one has a different definition for happiness. If the young lad were allowed to follow his own sweet will and surfeit himself with sweets and late hours, I think the result would be anything but happy. As for wealth, who can blame anyone for wishing for all that one cares to spend, and especially a woman to whom a separate income is the exception rather than the rule. It is the spending of it which decides the happiness or unhappiness of the possessor. I do not believe that any one was ever really happy who used wealth merely to gratify selfish ambitions. Fame, too, is a good thing to possess, but how many who have gained this high pinnacle will tell you that it brings happiness. Social position is also something after which there is much striving. Yet when the coveted place is reached it is so often found to be barren, and happiness has no resting place there. Social position brings heavy responsibilities with it, and social duties are hard and laborious without the happy results that follow labor in more worthy causes. It seems, then, that there must be some special way to happiness not bound and bound, but it is easy enough to be seen by others to follow, to follow its winding way, Wiser THE APPEAL. ST. PAUL AND MINNEAPOLIS, MINN.. SATURDAY. DECEMBER 29, 1900. LUNCH NOODLE SOUP NEK J. BULL: "A FORSE!! A FORSE! MY KINGDOM FOR A HORSE!" heads than mine found out long ago that only in trying to make others happy is real happiness ever gained for oneself. So in wishing our friends a happy New Year, we really obligate ourselves to do all that we can to make the wish come true; and for this reason the words should never be spoken idly, or used as a mere matter of form. On the other hand, to be sincere in the greeting and to do what the words imply, is certain to bring happiness to all. And now, let us go on to the next word in the analysis, "new." Everybody likes new things, unless an exception may be made to the so-called "new woman." New gowns, new bonnets, new personal belongings of all sorts appeal especially to women. While "clothes do not make the person," every one has learned that appearance in this world goes a long way toward success. Under the inspiration of knowing that one is well-dressed often one has done his best and the key note of success has been touched. It is human nature that womankind should love pretty new dresses, new bonnets and dainty surrounding, so let no one accuse her of vanity for desiring them. New ideas are sought after by the philosopher; new conditions by the scientist; new inventions by the inventor. Editors eagerly examine new matter; and that which is truly original or opens a new field of thought is never found "unavailable" no matter how poorly it may be written. There is a constant hunt going on for something new to further stimulate the exercise, ambition. late the energies, ambitions and desires of the world's people; and never was this craving so apparent as now when we are closing the nineteenth century. Everyone seems to feel that we are on the verge of a new era NOODLE SOUP NEK J. BULL: "A FOR which in spite of the inventions of the past is to be the most wonder producing period in the world's progress. If the inhabitants of Mars continue to signal us, as has been stated, who knows but what some shrewd, enterpriseing Yankee will put on his thinking cap, build a flying machine that will overcome all atmospheric conditions and go sailing over to the planet one of these coming days? Perhaps the North Pole will be discovered in the same way, although why so many people will risk life and property to find a spot that is almost certain to contain nothing that will sustain life or hope, can only be laid to their insatiate greed for something new. It is to be hoped, however, that while these greater things are going on, some one may invent an automatic servant that will get up in the morning without being called, never let the fires go out, wash our best china without breaking it, and, from the very nature of the invention, cannot "talk back" when we happen to go into the kitchen and scold a little—Household Realm. The New Year Spirit. The return of New Year's day invites many people to the most somber reflections. Undoubtedly most of us can find abundant occasion for these, but there is such a thing as pushing self-examination and self-condemnation to the point of discouragement. The best temper with which we can enter upon the new year is that of faith, faith in God and faith in ourselves through His help. It is about as certain as anything can be that the new year will bring us new experiences. Our courage, our capacity for endurance, our steadiness of character and power of resistance is to be tested. At the end of the year we are going to be nobler men and women than we are today, or we shall have deteriorated morally, and forever afterward there will be narrowing opportunities. --- While we think of the latter alternative it is well to strengthen our hearts by the former. Let us believe that we are not going to fail and we have taken a long step towards success. When another New Year's day comes around we are going to be able to reckon solid gains in character won through the trials and temptations and emergencies of the year's experience.—Boston Watchman.

THE CAROLINES. Queer Theories About the Formation of These Islands. Germany's purchase of the Caroline Islands from Spain had already drawn public attention to this little-known Pacific group, says Harper's Weekly, when a suggestion was made to America which is certainly entertaining though hardly to be entertained. The king and headman of Kusale, one of the easternmost of the Carolines, sent a petition to congress representing that as they had been in intercourse with the American people for forty-seven years—that is, with American missionaries, traders and whalers—and both, in this manner and otherwise, acquired a knowledge of our institutions, they wished to be annexed to the United States. It is assumed that the people who expressed this amiable preference did not know that they were about to be acquired by Germany. The Caroline group includes, besides coral islands, five mountainous islands of basaltic formation, beautiful and fertile with rivers and springs. To the north are the Ladrone Islands, and to the west are the Philippines. Among the many queer legends of these children of the Pacific there is none more highly improbable than their theory as to the origin of these islands and the inhab- LUNCH REYSE M FOR A HORSE!" itants. They think they themselves were very strong in the water—in fact, they lived in it. The story goes that a woman and her children were floating around on the reef, when a man appeared from the west with a basket of soil on his shoulders. He had started out to make an island with a mountain on it. One of the children cried out to him, "Give us a little soil to make a place for our mother to rest, for she is, very weak and cannot swim." He took out a handful of the earth and threw it down, making an island. As the man was going on his way over the water, the son slyly made a hole in the basket; so, as he proceeded on his way, he left a trail of land behind. Suddenly he became conscious that the basket seemed light, and looking around, he saw the land. In his anger he turned about and trod upon it, and thus the islands were formed. Washing in Sweden. The Grand Rapids man who shipped a train load of washboards to London and cleared a fortune by their sale at 25 cents each, would find a fair field in the provinces of Sweden. The washing is done there by rubbing between the fists and beating with a paddle. This, however, is not so uncivilized as it at first appears. There are hundreds of thousands of women in the backwoods of the United States of America we do their own washing and never thought of using a corrugated board. They wash beside a "branch," boiling the clothes in a three-legged pot, rinsing them in the stream, wringing them by hand, rubbing them between the knuckles and beating them on a puncheon with flat oaken paddles resembling a cricket bat.

There lurks in the mind of man a longing for something beyond the present—Humboldt. --- TURNING OVER A NEW LEAF A NEW YEARS STORY New Year's Eve, and at home. This is a cozy little den of mine, just as it looks now, quite eclipses anything I ever see at the club; books, pipes, easy chairs, a cheerful fire in the grate; pictures, busts, my well-beloved etchings all about the walls. What's the matter with you, old man, tonight? Why are you taking an inventory of these surroundings on this last night of the year? Everybody thinks you are tired of them, don't you know, for you spend very little time in their midst, says some provoking little voice. (Wonder if it's my conscience.) Dorothy is up stairs, the servants are out; as soon as she finishes the sewing of a button on Johnnie's refractory trousers she will come down, she says, and watch the old year out, being evidently well pleased over the prospect of a club night of our own, a little "Home, Sweet Home" sort of an arrangement. It seems that Johnnie is the only member of our family not a member of a club. Dorothy simply holds on to the little shaver by the collar, tied to her apron strings he is, and I am glad of it. Can I ever forget the day when our THIS is a COZY LITTLE DEN. neighborhood took on a sudden quiet? The question arose, where are those boys? Dorothy and I knew all about it, for we were not invited to become honorary members of their club, "The Olkasky Club." We helped to foot the bills and evinced an interest in the affairs of the club, we lent them ten cents to buy material to resell, womout-chair; there was another item; twenty-five cents for lumber, etc, and last, but not least, and that which caused Dorothy much suffering, were sundry pieces of rope to be furnished with all the paraphernalia of a trapeze arrangement, preparatory to meanderings aloft, all of which caused a rush of blood to my head, as I thought of these ventures boys, three of them at work daily, experimenting with the center of gravity, walking on their heads being the objective point apparently. We are happily rejoicing these days, however, in a more recent occupant of the family cradle, who so far walks feet downward after the fashion of mortals. As time goes on, the children's youthful exploits, with the accompanying worries of their elders, fade into oblivion, as the more serious aspect confronts us. The Ollaporida members of my family have taken unto themselves a few extra years; two of these afore-said members are looking collegeward, and I seem to worry about them in a wonderful way quite unlike myself. The bread and butter question confronts me? What profession will be theirs? Are they sufficiently strong in purpose to resist this or that? The day will come when Dorothy and I cannot shield them or stand beneath them and the cold world; we won't be here to settle the little accounts or encounters, or watch the little cotillions they are going to have with the dwellers of this mundane sphere. Then comes the question over again: "Well, old fellow, what's the matter now? Can't you let the boys alone, and let them fight it out just as you did?" Some truth in that, I answer, "I will wait until Dorothy comes and I'll ask her, just for curiosity, what she thinks of my past, and the general outlook." In part I am going to turn over a new leaf. Here is a volume of Longfellow beside me on the table; he is so human, you know, and I will close my eyes, open the book (a litte game of chance, you see), and on the page where my finger rests I will try if by chance a word of comfort come to me, that would hit my case. I seem to have a case of the blues; probably staying away from the club on this convivial occasion is not agreeing with me. "Shut your eyes, open the book," says the little exhorter, that unseen individual. "Postaction change—O, what meets my eye? Will it be some fire prophecy or—?

Be comforted: the world is very old, And generations pass, as they have passed, A troop of shadows moving with the sun; Thousands of times has the old tale been told; The world belongs to those who come the last. They will find hope and strength as we have done. Was ever answer sent to a mortal man more clearly? I think I'm sent for; there's something besides old Father Time after me, surely. Here is the very answer to my dismals as to those boys and their doings. But here comes Dorothy, singing, apparently in a very cheerful mood. "This is perfectly lovely, George Augustus. "Johnnie's trousers are all right for tomorrow, and I have been looking over my precious tin box, and I find such lovely bits of literature and all sorts; suppose we look them over tonight." Perhaps Dorothy noticed an unusual expression on my manly countenance, for she paused and said: "What are you thinking about? What has this old year been saying to you?" Are you having a retrospective sort of revival meeting all by yourself? "Only a few ideas have struck me, Dorothy. I rather like this den of mine, especially tonight, and one or two articles in these books here seem to have been written especially for me, and an uncomfortable little voice has been questioning me. A thought strikes me that we, you and I, have drifted apart rather more than I ever dreamed we could. There has been a sort of 'We fellows at the club' air and manner about me, that I really think now, as I sit here, has been a foolishness on my part that I shall endeavor to discontinue; a sort of desire to be 'in with the boys' and 'off with my wife.' I hope, Dorothy, that you do not think my past is really a dreadful one to look back upon." "O, no." Dorothy replied, with something of a twinkle in her eyes; "but, then, you know, you might be more of a saint, if you tried, dear." "And perhaps, most noble and adorable (my temper riging) and twentieth century wife, if I should give up my Sunday evenings at the club, possibly you may be willing to sacrifice a few of those insufferable 'teas' and bring an appetite uncontaminated with DOROTHY IS REALLY ELOQUENT. such diet as sipping frappes, Russian teas and chocolate to a respectable, cozy dinner with your George Augustus; and" (pausing for breath) "don't be angry; couldn't you leave out that tresome, quarrelsome card party and await my return with unruffled nerves, for instance, meet me at the door just as you used to do, little wife?" (growing a little more tender). "Why, whatever can be the matter with you, George Augustus? It is only a case of too many clubs in the family, that is all; easily remedied, you know. If this is to be a Home club tonight, let us invoke the spirit of the New Year here, right under this roof; let us stand here, and with the right hand uplifted vow that naught shall come between thee and me, George Augustus and Dorothy; we will reach that land of trust and confidence that requires no weapon, not even a club, to create or quell a disturbance." Dorothy is really eloquent. "Bring down the tin box, Dorothy; 'we are the Ollapodrida club' (the tin box, Dorothy and I) in memory of those boys who are trying another sort of trapeze swinging high or low with the wings of ambition, up to greater heights."

We will have finished the most wonderful century since the world began. And, judging from the achievements of the present century, the progress which the world will make before the century closes is beyond comprehension. There is one thing certain, however, all who read this will have passed from this vale of tears to that "undiscovered country from whose bourne no traveler has returned." It is our wish that each and all of us, when we do pass away, will be entitled to admission into that world where all is peace and joy and love; and where sin and sorrow and suffering can never come and where parting will be no more. And now, thanking one and all for past favors during the years we have lived in the Nineteenth Century, we wish for all Happy New Year in the dawn of the Twentieth Century. A A QUICK CATCH. 1.

IRISH HERALDRY Knowledge of It Not Monopolized by People with English Ancestors Knowledge of heraldry, which occupies people with cloaks from England and the continent, and organized by them. The Irish in this country have crests and coats of arms more authentic and elaborate than many we see on carriage doors and fashionable note paper. Every Irish surname of any account, whether of the miliesian stock—the "Macs" and the Elizabethan Anglo-Norman or of the Elizabethan Anglo-Norman or of the Elizabethan Anglo-Norman, has its insignia. During Ireland, the presses these were lost, and many are hardly unknown to the descendants of the original bearers, says the New York Telegraph. The fatal battle of Anguhrim, fought on the property of the County Galway, was doom to the ancestral pomp and glory of the O'Kelly, who scattered all over Europe. We were armies and outfought the natives over time. The Kelly crest is a weird animal, called an enfield, having the head of an elephant, forelegs of an eagle, body of a greyhound and tail of a lion. The motto in Latin is "God is the power of strength." Forefather of the Sower family had a swan for his crest and the eagle for his darted badge of red fleur-de-lis. The Burkes were a Norman-Irish tribe. Their flag was of ermine, white, spangled with black, like the trimming of a judicial robe. In the center was a large red cross, in the upper left quarter a black lion and in the oppo-ner corner a black hand. The name Burke comes from the same root as "burge," from the tribe originally descended from Norman settlers in Ireland of the good French NAMED THE WRONG WEAPON name De. Burgho, meaning "of town." The Ryans and MacNamara have coats of arms more authentic and far more beautiful than many of the folk with "Van" before their names. That of the Ryans, or O'Malianis, as they were originally called. Holly leaves, car griffin heads were distributed over a blood-red shield, was the crest, while there was a flowing motto signifying a preference for death to dishonor.

At the Grand Opera House, St. Paul. The New Year's week attraction at the Grand will be a magnificent recollection of the history of the rulers of their world renowned, massive pantomimic novelty, "Le Voyage En Suisse" and properly regarded as the liveliest and merriest achievement of these famous exponents of pantomimic art, the production when translated into English just means, "A Trip to Switzerland," and is the play that served to introduce the Hanlons to this country and the world. The most wonderful family of acrobats and pantomimists. The production, which at the time of its original presentation in this country was the most popular of the pantomimists' kind, will be shown if possible on a more elaborate scale than ever. The notable features of the play comprise the mechanical stage coach, which appears upon the scene drawn by a pair of acrobats, and the huge crash is heard, the animals break apart and disappear across the stage. The coach then upsets, the wheels of the axles, sending a cloud of human fraught everywhere in conical confusion. The second act shows the interior of the Continental Express on its journey from Paris to Switzerland. During the entire progress of this act the two specialities are introduced, Suddenly a crash is heard just as the train enters a tunnel, the lights suddenly darken, the sound of a collision is heard in breath and is enveloped in fire and smoke. No one is hurt as it is only done for fun. The last act shows the interior of the Rigi Kulm Hotel, Switzerland. The company, which is acknowledged to be the largest and best ever selected to exploit pantomime in this country, is headed by the two remarkable clowns, Charles Guyer and Wm. C. Schrode, acknowledged to be the director of the company. Others in the company are the beautiful prima donna, Miss Alene Crater, Wm. J. Mason, Nelly Daly, C. Schrode, the Four Hills, Chappelle Sisters, Harriet Sisters and a ballet company exceeding fifty people in number. "Love Voyage En Suisse" is an entertainment that appeals particularly to young adults. It offers performances will undoubtedly be largely patronized. There will be a special afternoon performance on Tuesday, V. Day, J. Heapley is on the slick list. IN THE BEDROOM The light iron or brass bedstead, with a mattress that can be easily aired, deserves its present popularity from a hygienic standpoint. The walls of a sleeping room should be hard plaster and painted. If paper is used it should be of the washable, which is often seen frequently howadays in bathrooms. Fresh air and sunlight are indispensable to the healthy bedroom. THE APPEAL: A NATIONAL AFRO-AMERICAN NEWSPAPER COULDN'T SLEEP. Pastor—Your husband didn't come to church last Sunday. Pastor-Your husband didn't come to church last Sunday. Mrs. Smith-No; he was suffering from insomnia. Alcoves and recesses for beds are objectile, unless there is sufficient space for a free circulation of air all around them. Protect the mattress by laying over it an old blanket, which is far better than a sheet, because, being woolen, it absorbs perspiration without giving a chill, and also can be aired more easily than cotton. Feather pillows should never be exposed to the sun's rays, as they melt or soften the oil in the feathers and frequently cause an unpleasant odor. The pillows should, however, be aired and beaten with a light cane. Psychicians claim that sleep is more refreshing in a darkened room, therefore best to have inside shades of dark green shades under the ordinary shades. They are more easily adjusted than blinds as it is well to accustom children from infancy to sleep in the dark.—American Journal of Health. HINTS ON EATING. Rapid eating is slow suicide. Plenty of time should be taken. Pastor—Your husband Mrs. Smith—No; he w Dinner should be of a lighter nature in summer than in winter. Mere gratification of the appetite is very likely to shorten life. It is not good to dine when in a state of mental or physical weakness. Two pounds of potatoes contain as much nutrient as thirteen pounds of turnips. Light soups, light desserts, and light meats should have the preference in warm weather. Fish and oysters are easily digested. An hour or two of rest should be taken after the meal. Abuse of the stomach at dinner will be repaid sooner or later by that punishment which comes to the glutton. Vegetables and fruits are to be used most generally at that season of the year in which they naturally mature. -American Journal of Health. WEL WIDOW. DOINGS IN AND ABOUT GREAT "FLOUR CITY."

SPANISH PROVERBS God does not smith with both hands. There is no thief without a receiver. See that you tie so that you can untie. You will not be loved if you care for none. A little loss frightens, a great one tames. Trouts are not caught with dry breeches. It is not the load but the overload that kills. He who has lost his oxen is always hearing bells. You can't make pancakes without breaking eggs. There is no better patch than one off the same cloth. For all one's early rising, it dawns none the sooner. No king was ever a traitor, nor pope excommunicated. Since the house is on fire, let us warm or ourselves. D. T.

The happiest women are those who live in a small world. How wise was the great God when he made a human life short! His whole existence was an effort to do without those things that make life worth having. It is easy to be wise without being learned. It is easier still to be learned without being wise. She had been enabled all through her life to satisfy her own desires—the subtest form of misfortune. The past only sleeps, and we carry it with us through life slumbering. Those are wise who bear it gently, so that it may never be aroused. She imparted a vast deal of information, and received none in return, which is the habit of voluble people and renders them exceedingly dangerous to themselves and useful to others. He was one of those men who are happy in finding themselves when they are wanted. So many have, on the contrary, the misfortune to be always absent, when they are required, and when they learns to progress without them. RAM'S HORN BLASTS. Prayer is a private key to the King's chamber. The warm-hearted church never has a cold hand. The grasping hand cannot grasp God's hand. A picture-perfection in religion prohibits progress. The violent partisan knows only the big "I" plank. The only limit to God's gifts is the bag in which we fetch them. People who clear away new paths will be brushed by the thorns. God may break hard hearts, but He will never break into wicked ones. The perpetual protest of Christianity is the only thing that saves this world from ruin. There is no danger of conforming to the world without when you have Christian faith. God is in a much glorified when he stoops to man as when men bend before Him in worship. HERE AND THERE.

Ethel lived on the seashore—that part of the Alabama coast which the Mobilians call "Over the Jay,"—and she visited Mobile rarely except during Christmas and Easter. She was a busy little girl with lessons and plano practice, and asked so many questions that an old sea-captain who lived near her home gave her the name of Little Conundrum. Some days before Easter she went with her governess into the city, and saw a woman attired in a black gown, a black bonnet and a black vell. Inside the bonnet she wore a closely fitting cap, not at all like a widow's cap. "Oh!" exclaimed Ethel, seizing the SUDDENLY ONE NIGHT THE BELL DID RING. arm of her governess. "Who is that, Miss Mary? What makes her dress so? She has a chain at her side, too!" "That is a Sister of Mercy," answered Miss Mary. "Whose sister?" asked Ethel. "A Sister of Mercy—a sister to all who need her." "A sister to everybody?" echoed Ethel, looking puzzled. "Yes. She spends her life in acts of mercy to the poor and the rich, too, if they need her." "Does everybody love her?" asked Ethel, looking after the black gown. "Oh, yes. People send for her when they are in distress. A Sister of Mercy nursed your Uncle Frank when he was ill of yellow fever." "Oh, I wish I was a Sister of Mercy!" said Ethel, as they left the carriage and entered a shop, "but I wouldn't like to wear that dress." "You need not wear it to be a good nurse." "Well, but I want to be a sure enough Sister of Mercy. Can't I have a mark so people will know it?" "Oh, yes," said Miss Mary, laughing, "if you insist upon a mark, you can wear a badge on your sleeve. I can easily make one for you." On Easter morning Ethel put on the badge which Miss Mary had made for her of beautiful white ribbon. As she returned from church she found a bird with a broken leg, which she bandaged. Then she put the little invalid in a box, which Tom called the hospital. Easter Monday her first act of mercy was to carry a dinner to old Uncle Ebenezer, who was a cripple from rheumatism. He had been her grandfather's slave, and now lived with her father at the old homestead, the Maples. "Look here, Uncle Ebby," said she, pointing to her shoulder. "You can't guess what that is, can you?" "No, honey," answered Uncle Ebby, already beginning to eat. "It means I'm a Sister of Mercy." replied Ethel. "I begin this Easter. That is my Easter resolution." "Dat, indeed!" said Uncle Ebby, absorbed in his dinner. "Is you gwine 'bout nursin' fokes?" he added. "No-o," drawled Ethel. "Mamma won't let me do that. Maybe I'll do something after a while for that poor woman at the wharf; but I'm going to help everybody here. I'm going to help Aunt Mellinda feed the chickens, and now I will help you scrape lint for your lame foot." While Uncle Ebby was eating, Ethel filled a basket with lint and set it on the chimney shelf. "Now, Uncle Ebby, listen to me," said Ethel, "when you are sick in bed you mustn't call Jake or 'Tildy or any of your grandchildren. I'm to do the nursing on this plantation, and I want to call Jake and make him tie a string to your bedpost, and the other end to my bedpost, so that you can ring a bell right over my head when you are sick You understand?" 14 STORES IN EUROPE "Jake! Jake!" called Ethel, Jake came when called, and after many trials arranged an unusually contrivance, so that the pulling of the string did ring a bell just over Ethel's bed. Her brother Tom ridiculed it, but mamma said Sisters of Mercy must be patient under ridicule. Every night Ethel hung her cloak near her bedside, ready to rush out at the sound of the bell. One night Tom played a practical joke by ringing the bell, but papa's sharp reprimand prevented a repetition of his mischief. Suddenly one night the bell did sing, long and loud. Ethel jumped out of bed, and in a few minutes stood at Uncle Ebby's bedside. The moonlight fell on the black face and white head. Shaking his arm with all her might, she called out, "Uncle Ebby, wake up!" The old man opened his eyes and sat up in bed. "Didn't you ring the bell? What is the matter?" "Nuthin' 'tall," said Uncle Ebby, at last recognizing the little sister. Suddenly Ethel turned and perceived a curl of smoke in the corner of the cabin. "What's that, Uncle Ebby? Look! Look!" "Sump'u a-fiah, sho'!" And so it was. Uncle Ebby screamed for help. Black and white rushed to the rescue. Jake and the other men led the cattle out of danger, and the mystery of the bell was solved when old Brindle's horns were seen struggling with the string, which in order to reach up to Ethel's chamber, had been passed through the cow-shed. The smoke had driven her to the open door, and in making her way she had caught her horns in the string. Fortunately nothing was burned except the corner of the shed.

EASTER IN HUNGARY. Some of the most curious Easter observances prevail in Hungary, the home of dance and song. Miss Janka Frankel, a singer who was heard in opera last winter in Philadelphia and other cities, gives an interesting account of the strange customs of her native land. Passion week, as a whole, is generally very quiet, almost no social functions taking place. Its prominent feature is the pilgrimage to one of the sacred shrines. Devout persus in both town and country join in the pilgrimage, and every village through which the procession adds its quota to the pilgrimage. The journey is taken fasting, as far as possible, only bread and water sufficient to preserve from absolute exhaustion being indulged in. On Good Friday a life-size image of the Christ is carried to the principal church by a procession of priests and there remains until Easter, guarded by soldiers, who stand motionless as statues. On Easter Sunday the worshipers place offerings of money at the feet of the sacred image. Easter morning is greeted with tokens of gladness, somewhat similar to our Christmas, all the windows having wreaths of flowers or leaves. One of the prettiest observances of the day is a procession of young girls in white, carrying branches of green trees, following the clergy. The robes and the acyoltes will glided cross. After the white robed girls come the villagers. The most interesting custom, however, is that known as "watering," which occurs on Easter Monday and Tuesday. Men go out armed with water in bottles or pitchers and throw it on the young women they meet in the village streets. Sometimes they even call at the houses and greet the girls who come to the door. The odd part of it is that the more thoroughly drenched the victims are the better they are pleased, as it brings them luck. In the cities the custom has been gradually refined so that gentlemen arm themselves with bottles of cologne. This "watering" rite is said to be known in no other country, and its institution is ascribed to one of the apostles. It is possibly a perversion of the rite of baptism. Young women retaliate on Tuesday, A MOST INTERESTING CUSTOM KNOWN AS WATERING. and the laughing swains often find themselves unexpectedly drenched as they pass a house or drinking font. Easter Monday is the Hungarians' favorite wedding day, as it is supposed that it is especially fortunate for marriages, and the priests are usually kept busy that day. The rest of the week is filled with social gayeties, and the quiet of the rigorously observed Lent is fully atoned for. If every person would be half as good as he expects his neighbor to be, what a heaven this world would be! Literary Men Need Brotherhood. Anthony, Hope Hawkins believes much in men of letters standing by each other and he has worked tremendously hard to help on the fund which the Authors' Society of London is trying to accumulate, from which pensions are to be paid to authors whose literary merit has not brought them a corresponding income and who view increasing years with fear. Recently an unfortunate writer, who visited Mr. Hawkins at his rooms in Buckingham street, by the Embankment gardens, excclaimed, on leaving with something in his pocket: "Oh, sir, I feel that providence must have sent me to you!" And the reply came with a twinkle in his benefactor's eye: "Let us hope, however, that providence will not acquire a habit of doing so." Flowers Necessary at Funerals. The Khode岛 island supreme court has rendered a decision that flowers form a necessary feature of a funeral. The case under consideration was an action brought by a florist against the administrators of the estate of a deceased citizen who had refused to pay for flowers furnished on the credit of the estate. The court justified the expenditure, remarking that "the custom of having flowers at funerals is well-nigh universal in this country and that, when not abused by extravagance or unseemly ostentation, it is certainly to be commended as giving appropriate expression to our feelings of respect and love for the departed." If keeping holy the seventh day were only a human institution, it would be the best method that could have been thought of in planning and civilizing of mankind.—Laddison.
