When a young married woman, Mrs. i Hayne moved to St. Louis and soon be came active in the charitable work organ ) laed by the ladies there. In her visits among the poor she saw the need of a home for working women who had grown too old to support themselves by labor and yet uad no mends to rely on. bbe prayed and talked to her friends, and so Bethesda, as the home is called, was provided for and was opened June 8, 1889, Mrs. Hayne had but $140 to start on, so the home was fur nished with extreme plainness, but life there was made so pleasant tbat it was soon full. An annex for foundlings was soon added, and to that a sort of maternity institution. The place rented for the old ladies was an old homestead, and a very agreeable one, and two buildings have been added for the other purposes. Many hundreds have been aided in various ways. Friendless and destitute children have been provided with good homes in the country, young mothers in distressed circumstances have received succor till they could again work for a liv ing, and many old ladies have received a permanent home. Yet there is no formal organization, no large gifts have been re ceived, and Bethesda numbers no very wealthy people among its patrons. Every child who goes out thence to a home and does well is a sort of unconscious mission ary in aid of Bethesda, and every mother helped there stirs up some one to encourage the enterprise. The old htdies' home is a curiosity in its way, them being no rules whatever except the law of peace. The homes are entirely free. The Bethesda Herald, a monthly de voted to the interests of foundlings, old people and destitute mothers, is published by Mrs. Hayne in connection with her work and gives a history of the daily life at the homes. Mrs. Hayne has many other pleas ant qualities besides charity, as she is a delightful conversationist, with a sweet, earnest manner and generally attractive appearance, no doubt her personal quail ties have much to do with the success of Bethesda, but she insists that it is run by faith. She does her work and prays for support, not doubting that it will come, and so far it has not failed to come. The Solentifle Side. Young Lady Why do I get so nervous when I piny before an audience?

Onele Bam Employs Them at the Patent Office. Many women are employed as clerks in the patent office at Washington, and there are several who take high rank as experts in one or another of the various depart ments, jurs. fcnron J. lNoyes and Mrs. Frances R.

Ban Francisco Chronicle. The Beat Tim. to Wind a Watch. A dealer in watches of thirty years' experience says that he has known many men who have tried to wind their watches every morning instead of at night, but he has never known one to succeed. There are men who wind their watches at a fixed hour every day, hut men in general are accustomed to wind them just before going to bed, and they seem unable to ehange that habit New York Hun.

"Well, s'pose you say you went' for that seed that mornln," said Mrs. Wiggins. "it'll oe near enough." "Well, what else did I do Monday?' asked Mr. Wiggins in a helpless tone. And so the dialogue went on. One evening James Sidney and his daugh ter Alary called on the Wigginses. "I wuz settiu In the house alone," began Mr. Siduey, "me aud Mnry, and as the chores wuz done aud I'd writ hi the diary for three days ahead"- "What!" exclaimed Mr. Wiggins. The old man turned his beaming face to his daughter, as though asking her permis non to explain. She seemed a little trou bled, but said: "You see, to begiu with, father never kept a diary and doesu't care much about It, but I was anxious for him to do so, thinking he would And it a pleasure.

She is reluctant to see him depart. They swing on the gate. "I'll never forget you," he says, "and if death should claim me my last thought will be of you." "I'll be true to you," she sobs. "I'll never see anybody else or love them as long as I live." They parted. Six years later he returns. His sweetheart of former years is married. They meet at a ball. She has changed greatly.

Tit-Ults, Could Not Leave the Old Rone. We have a dog story that is worthy of being put on record. On the third day of last month Mr. William Bunker of this place sent a dog to his daughter, Mrs. Deloa Stebbins, of Sherman, N V. He was put in a crate, provided for the trip and shipped on a noon train at Wil liamsheld station. He changed cars at Ashtabula, Brockton and Mayville. leaving the train at Sherman and being driven, still in his crate, seven miles up the country. When released he seemed to take kindly to bis surroundings, bnt on the tenth day of the month at noon he walked into his old borne, coming from the east. He looked hale aud hearty and to all Appearances bad en joyed the trip and found frienda by the way Evidently he tramped his way nome. as he carried no nnma n in. traveling expenses.

Thoir noncommissioned ollicers, m usual, ail paraded, anil were sunt for by Major Uordon. who united them the reason why the men did not full In, and who wrote the proclamation. They of course did not know; and on Major Uordon telling them he would be obliged to shoot one In every live, they evinced their objec tion to this proceeding by a groan. The most prominent in this was a corporal, who was dragged out. and a couple of infantry who were standing by wore ordered to load, and directed to shoot the mutineer, which one did without the slightest hesitation. The remainder were marched back and locked up for an hour, with the threat that if the name of the writer of this proclamation was not given, and if the men did not full in before an hour hud elapsed, the arrangement of shoot ing one In live would be carried out. At the expiration of an hour the men all fell In, and the namo of the culprit. who bud run away, was given up. After that time we had no trouble, the nion wore thoroughly cowed and the noncommissioned omcers the real of fendersdared no longer foster sedition. It is to be regretted, however, that one life should have been sacrificed, but this saved many others which must have been lost if a stop had not been put to the independent way of the aen. Gor don s "Taeping Rebellion. The Fabulous Hn.lllik The basilisk was the most famous of the many fabulous monsters of medivav val folklore. According to the popular notion it was hatched by a toad from an egg laid by the cock of the common barnyard fowl! In the ancient picture books it was usually represented as an eight limbed serpent or dragon, some times with and sometimes without wings. Its name is derived from basil iscos, meaning a little king, and was ap plied because the creature was figured with a circle of white spots on its head which much resembled a crown. The cockatrice, a species of basilisk, besides having a crown possessed a comb which was an exact counterpart of the cock's. Pliny assures us that the basilisk had a voice which "struck terror to the hearts of men, beasts and serpents." The Bible classes it with the lion, the serpent and the dragon as one of the most formidable creatures. Old writers, Pliny, Bascho and others, say that Its bite was mortal m every case: that its breath was suffocating, and that no plant would grow in the vicinity of its lair. Its dead body was otten used, suspended in bel fries, to prevent swallows from building mere. au Louis Republic The Turn of ttie Sheet.
