I cannot forbear quoting an amusing in cident lately told me by an old friend (a grandniece of Mrs. Wordswc rth), who, when a child in her parents’ home at Durham, remembers one afternoon an announcement being made to her mother that a man wish ed to speak to her and that as he appeared very tired and seemed to have walked a long distance he had been accommodated with a seat in the kitchen. My friend’s mother, like most country residents, was not unaccustomed to interviewing people of all sorts and conditions, and having fin ished the letter upon which she was en gaged proceed«! leisurely to the kitchen, expecting perhaps some application for em ployment or possibly to hear a tale of sick ness or distress among her humbler neigh bora. Her dismay may be imagined when, seated hat in hand upon a Windsor chair and absently contemplating the weights of the Dutch clock upon the opposite wall, she discovered the poet laureate. My informant, who was scarcely of an age to appreciate the beauty of the poet’s conver sation, confesses to an industrious though fruitless attempt on her part to count the number of buttons missing from the dis tinguished visitor’s gaiters on this interest ing occasion.—Cornhi 11 Magazine.

In Sixteenth street there exists a m ili tary organization known as the Baby Ruth guards, it is com posed o f about 20 little boys, the oldest o f them from ap pearances not m ore than 9 years o f age, while the youngest is probably barely 6. Their uniform is not elaborate, but emi n ectly correct, and their firearms are of the reversible pattern, which enables them to use either end for stock or m uz zle, as they choose. Their great forte is their marching, and they do this in a manner which w ould reflect credit on the best drilled regulars ever stationed at Fort Mver. The only serious handicap under which the young citizen soldiers suffer is their size, for one o f the members owns a large St. Bernard dog which he cannot always indnee to stay at home during parade time, and when the dog insists on march ing with the com pany and thrusts him self into the middle o f the ra n is the privates on one side o f him have great difficulty in seeing over his back and finding out whether they are properly “ dressed” with the privates on the other side.—Kate Field’s Washington.

Great-grandfather’s folks were m ov ing and had left the bedding to pack the last thing, so picking np the first feather tick he cam e to great-grandfather laid it, together with the covers, on a q r ’ lt on the floor, and doubling them all up he put his knee ou the tick and tied the corners o f the quilt firmly. “ There!” he exclaim ed, "1 don’t think that w ill com e untied in a hurry.” J ust then great-grandm other came in. “ W h y, where’s the baby?” she asked, looking from the empty bedstead to her hnsband. Great-grandfather did not wait to answer her. He then seized those firmly tied knots and untied them in a great hurry, and there lay the baby safe and still sleeping. Great-grandmother snatched her to her breast and held her close. “ Y ou r com ing in ju st now was provi dence, w ife,” great-grandfather said as he w iped the great drops o f perspiration from his face.

R eally I ’ m sorry for Smith if his baby looks like that picture, but I rather think the amatenr artist libeled the ch ild and made it the monster it ap pears. “ The picture was not foensed prop erly. It represents Sm ith in the back ground holding on his knee a mammoth infant nearly as big as he is. The ba b y’ s hands are outstretched toward the •’amera and look as though they might belong to Mr. Fitzsim m ons or Mr. Cor bett. Sm ith tbonght it was beautiful, and when some one suggested that the boy looked jnst exactly like him he or dered drinks all around and put the p ic ture up on his desk as a further opposi tion to Jones’ . “ Every time I com e into the office I have to stop and adm ire those pictures, and I ’ m acquiring great self control by keeping a straight face whenever Jones or Sm ith says, ‘A n d still you w ill re main a bachelor, w ill yon?’ ” — New Y ork Herald. Three nights ago, as Watson Brownlow, a late worker hi one of the big newspaper , offices, was hurrying across City Hall park he was accosted by a husky voiced outcast ! whose clothes at least had seen better days. “ Say, boss, I’ m no beggar,” began I ., - . tk, . T* u . , - th* tramp, hut I m hungry and^ sleepy and must have something to eat and abed. Here's a ring—y matter where I got It— take it aud give me whatever you can for it.’ ’ Whereupon before Brownlow could utter a word ‘ he fellow thrust into his hand a wide, plain, flat yellow ring. Brownlow gimeed at the ornament—it was undeniably heavy and bright. Then he glanced at the tramp, who was undeniably dirty and disreputable. Cupidity and con science began immediate warfare under Brownlow's hat. The contest lasted fora few seconds only, and conscience retired in disorder. "The ring is safer in my posses sion than in his," said Brownlow to him self, "and if it is stolen property I may be able to restore it to the owner, but this fel low never would.” He hurriedly forced a silver dollar into the tramp's hand, thrust the ring into his own pocket and walked rapidly away. “ I am half ashamed of the whole trans action," said Brownlow as he related the experience an hour later to a party of friends in an uptown cafe, “ for the more I think of it the more 1 feel as if I had made myself a receiver o f stolen goods.” “ Don’t worry yourself, dear boy,” re plied one of tue group to whom the mys- sterious ring had been handed for examina tion, “ this trinket is not so valuable that the loss of it would break the heart of its owner. A nysupply house foe street fakirs will sell you rings just like this at 60 cents a dozen. The man of whom yon bought it employed rather reprehensible methods as a salesman, that'sall.” —New York Herald. United States. Men, women and children contributed, some giving a pittance, oth ers donating large sums. When the nec- essary amount was raised, the custodian of the funds was compelled to refuse fur- ther contributions In order to Btop the con tlnued inflow of money from enthusiastic Christian scientists. The church Is of blue Concord granite, with pink Woodville granite trimmings. It Is fireproof, has turreted oorners and possesses a tower 126 feet high. T he win dow and door frames are of bronze, the Boors arc of mosaic tile, the girders are of Iron, the roof is of terra cotta, and the doors and furniture are the only objects of wood about the edifice. The seating ca pacity is 800, and a concert of 15 tubular chimes will be placed in the tower. In the tower, too, is t h e ‘ ‘ mother's room ,” which Is to bo for the exclusive use of Mrs. Eddy. The furnishings will l>e e aboratc and luxurious, and for this purpose the substantial sum of $4,000 has been raised by the children of Christian scientists. Mary Baker Eddy, the object of all this homage, is the youngest daughter of Mark Baker ana Abigail Barnard Ambrose, wbo resided on a farm of about 500 acres In the adjoining towns of Concord and Bow, N. H. The Bakers came to America not long before the Revolution, and Mrs. Eddy re members that her grandfather possessed a sword that had been given one of the fam ily by Sir William Wallace. Mrs. Eddy's childhood was much like that of other girls, exoept that she had visions resein bling those of Joan of Arc. After a thor ough education in Greek, Latin, Hebrew, philosophy, logic and moral science she became the wifo of Colonel George Wash ington Glover of Charleston in 1843. A year later Mr. Glover died of yellow fever, and four months after his death a son was born to the strickon wife, who returned to Tilton, N. H. She remained in Tilton until her child was 4 years of ago, and then, placing him in chargo of a former nurse in the family, she married a second time, hoping that sho would thus be able to provide a home of her own for her boy. Tho marriage was unhappy, however, and Mrs. Eddy soon procured a divorce In Sa lem, Mass. Meanwhile her son was igno rant of her whereabouts, and it Is alleged did not learn that his mother still lived until ho had reached manhood and become the father of a family. Mrs. Eddy says she discovered Christian science In 1866. She studied the Scriptures and the sciences, she declares, in a search for the great curative principle. She in vestigated allopath' homeopathy and elec tricity without find ng a clew, and modern philosophy gave her nu distinct statement of the science of mind healing. Aftercare ful study she bccamo convinced that the curative principle was the Deity and belief In the Deity the cure. Tw o years latershe published a book called “ Science and Man,” which has made a great deal of money for Its author. A second volume, “ Science and Health,” has been even more successful and lucrative. Some 60 editions have beeu called for In 16 years. Mrs. Ed dy Is also the editor of a Christian science journal whi.h has a large circulation among her followers. In 1877 she finally became Mrs. Eddy, for her third husband was Asa Gilbert Eddy, the first student to publicly an nounce himscif a Christian scientist. He founded tho first Christian science Sunday school and died in 1882. After his death Mrs. Eddy ad ip ted Dr. Ebcnezer Foster, who is now known as Dr. Foster-Eddy. In addition to her country seat in New Hampshire, Mrs. Eddy is the possessor of one of tho most beautiful residences In Boston. The Boston Christian science church has a total membership of about 4,000. Of this number 800 reside In Bos ton, the others being scattered throughout the country. The service consists muinly of readings from the Bible and Mrs. Eddy’s book, “ Science and Health.” - Pipe— Hello, Bubble! W hat’s the trou ble? Bubble— G oodby, old fellow !

Two members of the senate, Dubois of Idaho and Higgins of Delaware, are gradu ates of Yale, and Stewart of Nevada and W olcott of Colorado, the two big silver men from the west, were students there, though neither graduated. Senator Stewart left Yale in the memorable “ winter of ’49 and spring of ’50,” attracted by the gold fever on the Pacific. Senators Cameron of Penn- sylvania, Colquitt of Georgia, aud Gray of Delaware are graduates of Princeton. Hoar and Lodge of Massachusetts are Harvard men. Senators Washburn of Minnesota and Frye of Maine graduated from Bow- doin college. Vest of Missouri and Black burn of Kentucky are, like the vice presi dent, graduates of Danville. The Danville institution, by the way, is known as Center college. It was established in 1819 and is one of the oldest Presbyterian seats of learning in the United States. Senator Gordon of Georgia was educated at the University of Georgia. Allison of Iowa was educated at the Western Reserve college, Ohio. Senator Gibson of Maryland attended Washington college at Chester- town in the Terrapin State. Calvin S. Brice was a student at the Miami university, Ox ford, O., where he graduated. Senator Chandler of New Hampshire is a graduate of the Harvard Law school. His colleague. Senator Gallinger of New Hampshire, has received from Dartmouth the degree of A. M. Princeton gave Senator Gray of Dela ware the degree of LL. D. in 1889, and Yale conferred the same degree on his colleague. Senator Higgins, in 1891.—New York Sun. One of the strangest superstitions of Chinamen is the awe with which they re gard the cockroach. John holds the ugly black pest as something sacred, claiming that it is specially favored by the gods and a particular favorite of the great Joss. The most unfortunate mishap that can befall a Chinaman is to step on a cockroach. In stantly visions of terrible disasters and ca lamities arise before him. In some in stances the superstition has been known to prey so on the minds of the Celestials as drive them insane. As a result of this state of affairs Chinatown is overrun with cock roaches, and a Chinaman would as soon think of killing himself as of killing one oi them.—Philadelphia Record.

The former are the people of to-day. The latter are relics of the past. No honor so high as that em bodied in an award at the fair.

Anyway I was as con siderate as possible, for I sat down just as easy as ever I could, and I don’ t think half my weight rested on the seat.” This reminds me of the farmer in his wagon on the way to market who carried his pig on his lap not out of affection for the pig, but that Dobbin between the shafts might have less of a load to pull.- ^■ì MBS. WINSLOW S “ My faith has the strength to nourish trees as well as souls,” was the remark Rev. Mary Baker Eddy, the “ mother” of Christian science, made recently as she pointed to a number of large elms that. 9hade her delightful country home, two miles from Concord, N. H. “ I bad them brrught here In hot weather almost as big ti» they are now, and not one died.” This Is a remarkable statement, but it is made by a remarkable woman, who has origi nated a new phase of religious belief, and who numbers over 100,000 Intelligent peo ple among her devoted followers. The great hold she has upon this army was demonstrated in a very tangible and material manner recently when “ the First Church of Christ, Scientist,” erected at a cost of $250,000, was dedicated in Bos ton. This handsome edifice was paid for before it was begun by the voluntary con tributions of Christian scientists all over the country, and a tablet Imbedded in its wall declares that it was built as *‘ a testi monial to our beloved teacher, Rev. Mary Baker Eddy, discoverer and founder of Christian science, author of its textbook, Scionce and Health, With Key to the Scriptures;’ president of the Massachu setts Metaphysical college and the first pastor of this denomination.” There is usually considerable difficulty In securing sufficient funds for the build ing of a new church, but such was ne t the experience of Rev. Mary Baker fCddy. Money came freely from all parts o f the 3 1 < »Ilie’ s D i s c o v e r y . The pariahs of India have hitherto fared hardly at the hands of the state no less than at those of their fellows, but a new era seems about to dawn for them. Two orders recently published by the Madras government at least recognize that they have certain rights and abolish some of the unjust laws which have in the past given the caste classes an undue privilege. The first order dea’ s with the land ques tion and provides that all waste lands bought in by or forfeited to the government are the absolute property of the govern ment and are t hus taken out of the power of the ca»te landholders, who have hitherto insisted on and been allowed a preferential claim. These lands are to be assigned in small lots to such pariahs as are able to cultivate them to ad vantage. The pariahs are also to receive sites for pariah villages on the waste lands, and il the caste people raise a lawsuit to get pos session of any sites so assigned the govern ment is to be represented in the suit for the protection of the pariahs. Slavery is not merely abolished theoretically as it was in previous enactments. It will now be hard to introduce it practically. The govern ment declares that by the existing law all bonds executed by parents mortgaging their children’s labor for an advance oi money are null and void and invite the co operation of missionaries to report and ex pose all cases where the law is evaded.
