In fact, a jUerson was thought very , little of who even came late to Sun day worship. "One Sunday morning in early au tumn .Puritan woman, whose repu- . totion.: for: housekeeping, spinning and church attendance- was excel lent, was . belated in her morning work. She took her long necked pitcher and went to the pasture where her cow was waiting to be nulSed. This duty done, she found for she could see people on the Toad that she hadn't time even to carry the milk back to the house and get to church in season. So she took lier long 'necked pitcher along with h and sat in the gallery right near where the singers and bass viols were displayed. After the singing wasovenand the long sermon had be-Igun-eermons were an hour or two long in those days she grew sleepy. , ' 'Her long necked pitcher sat on the floor near by and near fhe front of the gallery. She was soon oblivious of either milk, sermon or a dog that came pitpatering up the gallery BtairA The milk soon attracted the dog. He smelled and wagged his jtail, then smelled and wagged again, then looked mqiiiringly at the uncon scious milkmaid. He made up his mind very soon, and into the lone neck went the dog's head, neck too. He couldn't get much milk and wanted to pull back and try again. "But he couldn't. His head was wedged fast in. He pulled and used his paws and tried to back away. Blinded of course by the pitcher, his steps were erratic, and suddenly to the astonished people below there appeared a sudden parting of the balcony curtain, an almost blood curdling yell was heard, and there was a flash and downpouring, straight in among the four unconscious dea conb in the deacons' pew beneath, of snow white milk, long necked pitch er and a milk soaked, frightened dog. "For once there was a great awak ening in that church, but the poor woman was frightened nearly out of her wits, and the superstitious dea cons weregreatly scandalized." The BraTery of Women. Whether "they are recognized as more than a passive force, women have played an active port in his tory and have shown resource in emergency, presence of mind in peril, and invincible determination in the face of seemingly hopeless ob stacles. They have not degenerated. On the contrary, with the opportunity of the present, its broad training, its liberal education, they are more ready now for active duty than ever they were. Never before hag the state had in reserve such a force of intelligent, steady nerved, well disciplined wom en. Whatever crisis may call it into action, this reserve is ready, and is any and every emergency it will not be found unprepared or reluctant to do its part with heart, brain and mind. Chicago Inter Ocean. of Health .Coloring Food Product. Sausages both meat and skin ore dyed with aniline colors for the pur pose of hiding the color of unhealthy or Btale meat which may have been used. Jams, especially plum jams, are generally dyed with aniline col ors, and sugar confectionery is hardly ever without such artificial dye. Ale is darkened with burned sugar, as also are brandies and whiskies. It must be admitted that in by far the majority of these cases the color used is entirely harmless and has no influence on the health of the con sumer. Yet there are a number of aniline colors which are positively poisonous even when pure. Such colors are picric acid and its salts, martius yellow, safranine, methvien blue, dinitrocresol and aurantia. I Others, unobjectionable in them selves, become poisonous owing to their mode of manufacture, which leaves in the product poisonous im purities, Buch as arsenic (rarely), salts of copper, tin or zinc. The man ufacturer of sausages or jams has not the least idea whether the color he usee may not belong to one or other of the above, to which doubt less many others could lie added, and even if the quality of color consumed by one individual may be exceedingly small it is palpably evident that no such manufacturer should have the right to use such colors. Drugs, Food and Drink. Showing a Faee. As a rule, the man who rides on a free pass does not seriously object to showing it, but he does hate to be annoyed and suspected by the con ductor. A passenger on the Royal Blue was requested to show his pass four times between Baltimore and Philadelphia. - "Look here, Mr. Conductor," said he at last, "is there anything wrong with that pass? Did you ever see one before?" "If you were in my place, you couldn't see them too often. You don't know perhaps that only about 1 pass in 10 is good on the vestibuled trains, and when a conductor turns in one that isn't he is responsible and must stand the loss. Yours seems to be all right, and we shall not worry you again." It seems to be the custom of most roads to give free pass holders the benefit of the slower trains. New York Tribune. Attention Paid to Walking. It is enough to imagine the un feigned amazement of a dame of the old school if the proper position of the feet in walking were made a matter of doubt For years the dancing master's standard in all matters of carriage and walk has been an unquestioned one. The fin de giecle young woman, however, has a mind of her own. She has not found that the conventional train ing of the dancing master, valuable as it undoubtedly is, was all suffi cient in producing that grace of car riage and elegance of manner so de sirable in the woman of the world. On the contrary, she has found that the physical training of the woman of the stage has been more often conducive to the desired end. Hence it is that schools of Delsarte have sprung up all over the land, and systems of physical training, in-: eluding boxing and fencing, hereto- i fore relegated to the sterner scot, have found patronesses in plenty j IN THE DARK. 0 Thou who art ray only I.Igut, Thee do I follow through the night; Though homo nod hope ar out of tight, Firm trim.

Nearly all the other wtsliove an official standing. They are endowed, perpetuated, made part of the appa ratus of life. But we are as incredu lous of 'poetry as of the sea serpent, and the affidavits of those who have seen the thing itaelf do not convince a sceptical world. Poetry's killing foe is wealth, and wealth of late has grown beyond the dreams of avarice. Money, which can call into existence many of the arts, which can rear architectures, lay out gardens, give to household decoration a sumptuous beauty impossible to poor ages, which can even greatly help in the creation of music and pointing money has no potency over the proud and dis duinf ul muse. But the future of poetry is im mense, because when actualities op press, when utilities task, when, "tired of all these, for restful death we cry, " all we need do is to open our books and without struggle to par take the strife, without effort to at tain the ease, without putting off mortality to have part in the immor tality of those Bole things which show a semblanceof eternal life the crea tions of the divine poets.

A Slreuge Selection It is an easy and very profitable business to smuggle rifles into Moroc co. A weapon may be bought in Gibraltar fur (10 and sold in the in terior for five or six times that sum. Smugglers are continually running over in feluccas and beaching these arms somewhere between Cope Spur tel and Tangier, and curious are the devices by which they accomplish their transport. One smuggler told a traveler thot he ran his cargo into Tangier bay after dark and unloaded the rifles on the beach not a quarter of a mile from the custom house, "Who assists yon in unloading?" asked the traveler. "I generally employ the porters of the custom bouse," was the inno cent reply. Then, noting the surprise and amusement of his hearers, he added: "They are more skilled in unload ing than other laborers." It had evidently neither occurred to him nor to the porters that they might betray him. Youth's Com panion. ' ' - Bypnotlim and Dentlitry. For a quarter of a century I have been hoping that the principles of hypnotism as now developed might be applied so as to bring relief to pa tients during dental operations. It is with pleasure that I am able today to report a pronounced success in that di rection a success that I believe will continue, and the methods will be so formulated that the art will be with in the reach of every intelligent op erator on the human teeth. I found that it was the opinion of writers on hypnotism that pain would always wake a patient from the hypnotic sleep unless such patient was in a somnambulistic condition. I felt it might be quite possible to derive dis tinct benefit in the lighter stages if they could be kept continuous. I soon behoved it possible, and after a diligent study of Bernheim I com menced to hypnotize, and my first effort proved a success, Thomas Fillebrown, D. M.

There is nothing new in the fact, Gilbert White of Eelbome, who died 100 years ago, wrote, "When athennometer hangs, abroad in a frosty night, the inter vention of a cloud shall immediately raise the mercury 10 degrees, and a clear sky shall again compel it to de scend to its former gauge." St. Louis Poet DiBpalvh. YVumen'e Ouwerd March. There came a time in the history of my life when I 'suddenly realized that I enn tell a briorwood from a meerschaum while it .b being smoked, (t was bomo in upon me that by years of subtle training I had come to know a "Perfocto" from a "two-for-a-uickol." It flashed upon my sinful soul that I, Sappho, thescorner of nicotine, was myself a connoisseur of the delicate and difficult art of dis tinguishing oven from the next room the varying characteristics of rliff oring kinds of Turkish toltacco.

' :' '" The Habit of Migrating. The treat authorities state that the habit of migrating is due to the fact that at the time qf the great clima,tlc change whereby the northern portion of the globe became the frigid place it is now the birds inhabiting the ex treme north were forced southward, and, further, that in the change of seasons, when in summer the north furnishes them the conditions of life they have gradually formed, the habit of resorting thither. ' This ex planation souudB plausible, but there are some questions which it fails to answer. For instance, how do the birds forecast a change of Beanon so that their flight southward is begun in time to escape the storms of winter? And by what messenger are they informed in the spring that the time has come when they can with safety return to their northern breed ing places? The latter question receives a hy pothetical answer in the assertion that, as most migratory birds breed in the northern limit of their flight, it is the sexual instinct which Bonds them north and the statement is supported by the fact that the male birds of some species usually precede the females and as the sexual in stinct is always stronger in the male there seems some reuson in this the ory. But not all birds are migratory. Mrs. J. B. Southworth in Albany Journal. - Condition of Indian Parian. The condition of the unfortunate pariahs in India continues to occupy the attention of philanthropic per sons. Apart from a series of careful investigations undertaken by the mis sionaries, Mr. Tremenheere, the col lector of Chingloput, has been per sonally inquiring into the subject, and he has embodied the result iu a report to the government. While the missionaries, however, have been met with a peremptory official denial of their allegations, Mr. Tremenheere has been Bevercly rebuked by the government, who pronounce his state ments "sensational," and declare his proposals to be "utterly impractica ble." ' Yet those who have a personal knowledge of the unhappy victims of caste prejudice declare that they are oppressed by a system which can only be described as slavery. The pariah, it is said, finds it difficult, if not impossible, however hard he may struggle for an independent exist ence, to hold a plot of land, and even the humble cot which shelters him is no longer his own if it should un fortunately happen to take the fancy of some covetous and scornful village '"marasdar."

"It is a rum subject to go mad on, I must say," he added, by way of helping me. I tried him on various subjects without success j in fact, be seemed better informed than myself, and I was turning to go when he tapped me on the shoulder and whispered in my ear: , "It's long time coming, isn't it?"

The hair of the reindeer is as soft 08 beaver, and a coot of its material will keep out the cold more effectually than 10 times its weight in woolens. In fact, as 1 am told by residents, one cannot wear enough woolens to keep warm in winter, the weight be ing too great. Furs are also a neces sity for bedding. Cor.
