Bhe did nothing that acundslised their ideas of propriety, and they had almost made up their minds that with proper advioe she might do for a minister's wife after all.

The theater, a long time ago, had led her one son from his home, and the only sweet sacred spot in Mrs. Win­ ters* hard, religious life was her love for her boy--her baby, as, ahe called him-- although he waa almost a man when he went away. v • The day the troupe arrived Mrs. Win­ ters was at home alone, and the faint sound of distant music was arousing to utteranoe the grief she had kept buried so long. " I'll just go to the sewing circle and forget my sorrow by listening to some­ thing or other." And away trudged Mra. Winters to Mrs. Richfield's, whose turn it waa to entertain the society.

CHARLES IL, the last of the Austrian | dynasty in Spain, was ignorant to a de- | gree which seems almost incredible. He aid not know the names of the large towns and provinces in his dominions, and during the war with France was heard to pity England for losing citiea which in faot formed part of his own territory. AT THB beginning of the Reformation Ireland was the only country of Northern Europe whieh had remained trUe to the Roman Catholic religion. The object of Ireland's animosity was never Rome, but England, and she had cause specially to abhor the two sovereigns who had been the chiefs of the great schism be­ tween Protestant and Catholic, Henry VIII. and Elizabeth. Religious enthu­ siasm and national enthusiasm became ao blended in the minds of the people that they could not be persuaded that it was not a matter of principle to resist the religions as well as political prinoi- ! pies of England. f A Lover's Promise* j years ago Jacob Widber< nmww j house in Yolo County, Califor- | into contact with European civilization.

One of them jammed his arm very badly and by the nse of St. Jacobs Oil Was greatly benefited, and the arm WHS healed.

Young Widber remained on the farm a year, and during the time became very much attached to the little girl, so much so that when he left he kissed her good-by and told her that when he got rich he would come back and claim her as his little wife. To this agreement she laughingly absented, her " affianced" left for other scenes.

Mr. J. B. Wes­ ton, 45 Greenwood street, Supt.

When the reactitsa comes the disease ha# a firmer hold 011 the di­ gestive system than at first. The practice of taking cathartic medicines is the cause of a great aanount of unnecessary Buffering.

' It must be remembered that Paris has smooth pavements, to begin with, aid, further, that instead of allowing the dirt . to accumulate for a month or six months, the streets are kept clean all the time. Chemical disinfection is also a very im­ portant part of this service, and it is con­ nected with the system of sprinkling the streets, which is carried on at all seasons, except when it is very cold, at m cost of some £10,000. All this expenditure to­ gether would not compensate one of out contractors for leaving the dirt ia die streets. --Philadelphia Time*.
