' M9 THE PITTSBURG DISPATCH, SONDA, AUGUST '-4 1889. 15 CflCpW,a icm CRYSTAL CASKET. H-h -BT- ERNEST H. rwETOTX rOB THE DISrATCn.1 EN BROMLEY and nis wile -were hboth verypoorpeople, 'but ia spite of that they were Tery happy. 'The source of all their happiness, however, was their only child, a little girl named Florence. "Wherever this little girl was her pretty face, beautiful eyes and good temper seemed to impart brightness to all hersurroundings. Nobody had ever been in the presence of this charm ing child without feeling the better for it in some way. The unhappy she would fill with new and brighter hopes lor the'tuture; to the sick and ailing she would administer a trust and confidence in a speedy recovery, which made them always feel as if they were getting better; and to the bad and low her example of goodness, kindness and hon esty was just like a beacon light that eemed to show them the wrong of their ways and lead them on to do better. To have such a daughter it is not io be wondered at that her father, Ben Bromley, and her mother, Mrs. Bromley, were just as fond of their child as they could be. All their sorrows of poverty they lorgot while she was around. Florence was their bourne of constant happiness, and they always called her the fountain of their good for tune. But alas for these poor people, Florence, the lountain of their good fortune, the joy of their lives, suddenly died. One dav. while she had been in the forest hunting with some of her youug friends for flowers, a snake came suddenly darting at her from a hole in the ground, and before the child was able to escape, the snake had taken bold of her by the hand and given her a severe bite. Florence, frightened from the shock, fell to the ground in an un conscious condition. The snake crawled back into the hole under the ground, and looked as if even it was sorry for what it had done. However, there was no help for it now. Florence was dead. The deadly poison lrom the snake had had its effect. The arm ot the child soon began to swell to an enormous size. All the children who had been with her huntinc for flowers began to cry bitterly, and there was not one who did not honestly lament the death of their dear little friend. AVhen they saw that she was really dead tney ran home as fast as they could and told of the dreadful thing which had happened to beautiful little Florence. The awtul news created the greatest sorrow and grief throughont the entire village, and very soon there was not a dry eye to be found any where. The tears rolled so fast from the people that the streets were covered with the moisture,and when theanimalsof the village, the dog", cats, hens, roosters, cows, horses and calves heard about it, too, then the flow of tears from their sadness inundated the entire place. It would be useless to attempt a descrip tion of the griet of Ben Bromley and his wife. They were simply heartbroken, and nothing in'the world could console them. At last, however, some of the people be gan to think that it was time to go into the woods and bring the corpse of little Florence home. "Who knows," said some of them very wisely, "whether some wild beast might not come and eat her up.' So they all ran to the woods as fast as their legs could carry them. The children ran in the iront, however, because they knew where Florence's body was to be iound. But how astonished were they all when they noticed the body surrounded by The Escort of Birds. i whole lot oi birds from the forest. The little songsters were sitting around on trees and shrubs, on bushes and branches, filling the air with the most doleful songs of grief and sorrow. "Just see how good Florence must have been when even the little Birds cry because she is dead," said the people. Presently the whole army of feathered mourners rose into the air and in the next moment all were gone. "Now let us make a stretcher," said one of the men, "and let us carry the dead little girl to her parents' home." Soon a couple of strong branches from a tree were tied together, and the stretcher was finished. In the meantime the little chil dren had gathered a lot of beautiful flowers. They placed them on the stretcher, and thus Florence was laid upon a bed of solid flowers and carried into the village where her father and mother lived. Bnt before the proces sion reached its destination the birds, who had sat around the corpse of little Florence in the forest, could be seen again. There was a whole legion of them, all following in the wake of the procession. "When the men reached Bromley's house thev put the stretcher down. In the meanwhile the birds had also arrived. Now all of them came down, and behold! they carried a beautiful crystal casket between them. All the people were aghast with astonishment, but before they were able to recover from their surprise the birds had put down the casket, taken off the lid, and now they took hold of Florence and put her into it. A more wonderful sight was never seen than that was. No one ever tboughtthattheselittle birds would be strong enough to lift up the body of Florence. But these birds seemed to'be as strong as lions for the moment. When the dead little girl had been placed inside the crystal casket, the birds covered the entire body, except the face, with all kinds of beautiful flowers. Then they lifted her up, casket and all, and carried her outside of the vil lage, where there was a hill. On the very summit of this mount they put down the casket, and then all but four white doves flew away. The white doves seemed to re main as watchmen, each one taking up a position at a corner of the casket. From day to day these doves remained at their post and watched at the resting place of dead little Florence. When the news of her death became known all over the coun try people come Irom iar and near to worship at the crystal casket. One remark able thing about it all was, that Florence's face never changed. Her beauty never waned, and the luster of her eyes never lost its charm. It happened one day that the King was told of the beautiful face in the crystal casket, and, as he listened to the wonderful story of Florence's death and her beauty, he resolved to go and see her one day himself. He took the Queen and his only son, the Prince, along with him, and when they ar rived at the top of the little mount and looked into the casket their amazement knew no bounds. "Such a wonderful face I have never teen in my life!" said the Queen. "To be sure, such pretty faces are very xare in this world," said the King. "I don't think there ii another face in the BKSKffrfewni HE1NRICHS. world so lovely as this one," said the Prince, "and there is none that I could love so much as this. If there is one thing that I will wish above all others, I should like .to pos sess this casket with the beautifnl face. I would have it taken home and placed in a marble hall, where I might gaze upon it every day lor the rest of my life." Thus said the Prince, and the King quietly sent a servant to Ben Bromley and asked him whether he might take the crystal casket with him. Ben at first was loath to part with it, bat of course he toon was made to understand that it was not a good thing to refuse the King anything. So he consented. Then the King told his son that he might take the crystal casket along with him, and do with it as he wished. The Prince was overjoyed at this, and he made at once preparations for the trans portation of the dead Florence. When the, casket was carried away the four doves fol lowed it, and when the Prince had it put in the marble hall the doves again took up their position at each corner ot the casket. There they stayed and never moved. The Prince camo into the marble ball every day, and kneeling down In the front of the casket he would pray that the beautiful Flor ence might become alive again. But every day he was disappointed. The Prince, however, had a tutor, who instructed him In all the arts and sciences of the world's knowledge. One day this tntor noticed that his royal pnpil was very melancholy, and so he asked him for the causa of bis sorrow. Ah, my dear master," replied the Prince. "I lovo tho dead girl In the crystal casket, and I shall never be happy again unless she comes to life." , As the tutor was very fond of the Prince, he said to him: .."Let me go and see her once, perhaps she is not dead at all." The Prince immediately took his master Into tha marble ball, and showed him the face of dead Florence. "What did she die of ?" the wise man asked. 'Sho was bitten by a snakeP the Prince dolefully remarked. What kind of snaker That I do not know." "Well, then, my Pnnce," the tutor said, "if j ou can find out what kind of snake killed this girl I will call her to life again." When the Pnnce heard this he jumped for joy and he almost hncged and kissed the wise old tutor, lie at once set out to the village where old Ben Bromley lived and there he called all the children together who bad been with Florence on tho day she was bitten by the snake. He asked them all around whether they could tell him where the place might be found in the woods in which Florence had fallen dead. They all told-him they knew and The Crystal Casket. soon they arrived at the spot. Now the Pnnce began to hunt and dig for a hole, hoping be would detect the place where the snake had come from. To bis great satisfaction be at last discovered a hole, and a big snake all colled np was lying dead at the bottom of it. Bnt the Prince would not have known this was the snake he was looking for, but on her back he read these words: "I killed the fair and beauti ful Florence!" The Prince then picked the snake up and carried it to his father's castle. When the wise tutor saw the animal be asked the Prince to give it to him. He then cot a piece off the extreme end of the snake's tail, and, boiling it, he made a broth ot the snake. The tntor then went into the marble hall and, lifting the lid off the crystal casket, he poured the liquid into Florences moutb. Mo sooner had it touched her lips when the little girl's limbs began to move. After awhile she began to breathe, and at last she got up from the casket as fresh and bright and beautifnl as ever she had been. The Prince was deliebted beyond measure, and he took Florence into his castle to present the beautifnl maiden to his parents. They were all very pleased to see her, and when Ben Bromley and his wife heard that Florence was alive again they nearly died with joy. Mot many years afterward the- Prince mar ried Florence, and on the wedding day there were four bridemalds present, who were dressed in milky white earments. No one knew who they were, but the four white doves that had watched at the crystal casket were never seen again. THE ODDITIES OF GENIUS. Amusing Anecdotes of the Founder of Na tlonnl Geological Surrey. Prof. F. V. Hayden was the founder of tha system which developed into the Geological Survey of the United States. He was a man of great genius and a renowned scholar, bnt erratic and peculiar. It was not uncommon for strangers to follow him several b'ocks, their attention arrested by his bowed figure as he almost ran for a few steps then suddenly stopped, with his gray sharp eyes fixed on the pavement then ran again as if a sudden thought had struck him; then they would inquire "who can that poor insane man bet" While Prof. Hayden was exploring the land of the Sioux Indians some years ago, he once, in his enthusiastic passion for geological re search, wandered away from bis party; he bad loaded himself down with large specimens of mineral, and while tramping slowfy along in his absent-minded way the Indians captured him. They whooped and yelled at their prize at first, but upon seeing all the "rocks and worthless stones"whlch the poor man was stag gering under, and his composed, abstracted manner, they decided that ho was "afflicted with a foolish mind." They took bim without protest on bis part, which only confirmed their fears; and after a few hours' cantlrlty the old scientist with "his rocks" was led to the nearest point of civiliza tion, and "turned loose" lest the Great Spirit should punish them for any "harm done the foolish or simnle-mlnded. He was daring, fearless and reckless in dan ger; a most distinguished scientific man, and much beloved by the young men Df his survey. His death during the past year was greatly mourned. HAERT1NG A HOTHBE-KT-UW. A Washington Sinn's Example Not Likely to be Followed by Many. St. Paul Globe. A citizen of Washington recently, for some not fully explained reason, married his mother-in-law. Whether he wanted to be a social hero or was merely subdued is not evident; but the saddening seqnenco was that after the festivities had given place to the realities of wedded life, it was discovered that the mar riage was void according to the statute more than 100 years old. What possible objection there could be to marriage with a deceased wife's mother or any other of ber relations is a conundrum to the average mind. The danger that the example would bucome contagious and leave the other daughters without proper opportunities could hardly be alarming. ICE PEOM A COAL MINE. Clearfield County People Who Don't Worry Over tbe Icemnn'a mil. PunxiuUwney Splrltl In Bell township, Clearfield county, about 12 miles from Punxsutawney, is an abandoned coal bank which forms a natural Icehouse. The water which drips down through tbe crevices of the rock In tbe early spring freezes into im mense stalagmites and stalactites of Ice, which do not melt until the summer is past. Persons In tbe vicinity visit the place when they want Ice. Tbe cave Is always as cold as tbe Interior of a refrigerator. It is an elegant place for midsummer picnics. HOW TO KEEP COOL. Men Should be Dressed in 'Wool, Serge, Sealskin and Straw, A PERFECT SUMMER COSTUME. The Greatest Amount of Comfort for the Lowest Price. EESULT OP A FLANNEL SHIBT EEFOEM rwairnir ron thx dispatch. Last year the American citizen made his first effort toward shaking off the coils woven by society foe his enslavement It took the form of tbe flannel shirt. Monuments arc yearly being raised to mark the heroism of famous men. Let the next be erected to the memory of tbe man who first wore a flannel shirt downtown to his business. He deserves this much at least at the hands of the per spiring sex he has liberated. That his effort was timely is shown by the number of men who have followed his example. The flannel shirt is to-day the most popular garment of American summer wear, and next year will see more worn than all other styles of shirts combined. But not the only way that man should show his new-born independence and keep cool is by wearing a flannel shirt. Equally important with the flannel shirt is the underwear. The coolest and most sensible underwear is made of wool. Tho lighter tbe material the better. Angora or Australian wool is the finest and most ex pensive. The shirt shonld be reasonably tight fitting and its sleeves should reach to the wrists, so as to absorb all of tbe per spiration from the upper olothed portion of the body. A suit of woolen underwearcosts from $3 to 56, and will last two seasons with ordinary wear. It is a mistake to think that thin clothing or silk is as cool as wool. The latter materials do not absorb moisture, and on a hot day they stick to the body al most as uncomfortably as a linen laandried shirt. The coolest socks are of lisle thread or silk, aid cost from CO cents to 2 a pair. BEST GOODS FOR SHIBTS. "When it comes to the flannel Bhirt there is a large list of styles that next year promises to be almost endless to choose from. There are flannel shirts and flannel shirts. Some are cool and some are hot. Some coarse and some fine. Some are costly and some are cheap. Some are models ot tastefulness and works of art and some are ugly to the point of hideousness mere daubs turned out by the dozen by pot-boilers pure and simple. The coolest.flannel shirt is made oi An gora, Glasgow or French twilled wool. It is one inch longer around the neck than the linen shirt. Its bosom is of single thickness. It is opened in iront and is fastened with plain pearl buttons. Gold and jeweled studs should never be worn with a flannel shirt. The popular pattern this year is either in narrow Btripes or checks upon a plain white or pink background. The stripes which have the lead thus far are of pink, blue, black, brown, and their beauty is greatly enhanced by the use of silk strand or thread. Sometimes the stripes in the bosom are made to run crosswise over the breast, but this style has not attained marked popularity. Shirts of this sort cost from 51 50 to 55 each, and shonld last two seasons if they are properly washed. There is only one way to wash a flannel shirt to prevent uudne shrinking, and this is the way: Lukewarm water, and no soap should be ued. An ignorant, but indus trious laundress can, by the use of boiling water and soap, transform a flannel shirt that is two sizes too large for its owner, into a creased and wrinkled necktie in a half a dozen washings. "With care a flannel shirt should shrink very little, and none at all after the second or third washing. Some men who allow their vanitv to wart) their judgment buy silk shirts. These are made in many patterns and are undeniably pretty. One of the neatest styles has black stripes upon a white background. It is heavy and twilled and shines with a luster that no starch could give. It costs from 57 to $10, but it is not cool. Pongee silk shirts are lighter and less attractive in appear ance while they have the same defect. They are hot and do not absorb the moisture. Now that a man has chosen his underwear and flannel shirt, he must select his neck wear. The coolest and most appropriate tie is made of light silk, blue or white in color, and with white or blue figures. It should be tied in a bow or sailor knot and the loose ends should droop gracefully over the wearer's breast. SHALL TVE WEAB SUSPENDERS. Here comes another 'point that the free man must consider. Shall we wear sus penders or not? That depends. Upon what? Upon three things. First upon his size and shape. If the man is stout, with a generous cirth of waist, he should unhesitatingly stick to his suspenders. If he is slender, with a fair width of hips, he can go brace less with impunity. Second Does he intend to wear a waist coat? If so, suspenders may or may not be worn, depending upon the freeman's prefer ence. If he discards his waistcoat he must let his suspenders go to if he can. Third Will he buy his trousers ready made? Then let him bur a pair of susnend- ers also. Suspenderless trousers must be made to order. They must fit the hips snue and close. If suspenders are discarded a belt of nar row silk should take their place. This may be concealed by a broad belt of folded silk, but this is so cooler than a waistcoat and while it lends to the wearer the picturesque appearance of a stage pirate between tbe acts, a sensible freeman will discard it with out a moment's hesitation. ""In the choice of coat, vest and trousers, the freeman must decide whether he is to order a seaside or a business suit If the former he has many varieties to select from. The coat should be a loose-fitting sack. He should wear no waistcoat if possible and his trousers should be loose-legged land flop at the ankles on windy days. The material may be of white or blue seiee or flannel. The latter is preferable as it is thinner and does not shrink. It he wants a business suit he has still greater latitude for his choice. The palm for comfort must be given to the serge. The color may be whatever the wearer desires, though blue or' gray are the colors most worn. The coat should bs loose and a -sack, and the trousers should be cut a trifle closer than those worn in the country. If he wears a waistcoat it should be cut low and not fit too tightly around his body. Snch a suit costs irom 516 to 560, depending upon the nerve of the tailor who makes it Madras coats made in India and woven out of some sort of seagrass are much worn, as well as pongee silk coats. They are light and com fortable, but not as "dressy" as the serge. For middle-aged freemen who lack tbe strength of mind to throw off all their chains at once, suits of loosely-woven cheviot or trousers of that material and black or gray coats of mohair or alpaca are cool and suit able. THE STYLE OF FOOT "WEAK. Not the least important feature of the new revolution is the approved style ot foot wear. Heretofore men under the gouty age have paid little attention to the material of which their shoes are made, provided the fit was all that could be asked. It is not so now. Coolness has become a requite. The coolest shoe of course is low cut with no leather about tbe ankle. The hottest shoe is made of patent leather. It is the handsomest but by all means tb.e most uncomfortable. Next in order comes tbe calf skin in all its va rieties. The coolest leather is goat skin, seal or kangaroo skin, and the coolest color is russet These latter leathers contain little oil, are porous, light and do not attract the rays of the sun. Such shoes cost from 53 to 515 a pair ai the caprice and bank account of the wearer may dictate. Last bat not least is tbe selection of the hat Never before have straw hats been so popular as they are this season, and sever bo hare they been so becomingly made.. The straight brimmed, wide-band straw hat of this year will look well on any man of ordinarily passable features. For years the hatters have endeavored vainly to construct a straw hat that wonld look at least as neat as the ugliest felt hat they conld tnrn out Shapes of all sorts have been put upon the market and men of all ages and degrees of beauty have fn-nanpri nnrtpr thfl affliction until tho chorUS Of their lamentations has reached the designers'! ears. The new and appropriate fashion comes in the very nick of time, for of all materials for beadwear straw is by all odds the lightest and coolest THE COOLEST HAT Is made of Mackinaw straw and has a flexible brim. Its dome Is loose woven and tbe breeze plays through it freely. The stiff-brimmed nat is tight woven and far less comfortable. Of all straw hats the hottest is tbe Panama, These range in price from $10 to S1U0 and are better suited for the Arctic regions than tho streets of New York. Tbe best qualities are woven so tightly that they will bold water like a cup. Derby hats of felt are made lighter and cooler than ever before, but they are never as cool as straw. For Ashing or country wear tho Indian pith helmet hats may be found extremely ser viceable. They protect the head from sun. They answer at once for hat and umbrella, but for men who spend most of their time In the shade, they must yield the palm to the soft Mackinaw. A stylish bat of this material cost from $3 to $6, and is worth that amount of any man's money. This ends the list N If the patriotic sculptor ot the future desires to secure a model for his statue of the flannel shirt emancipator let bim select a stalwart broad-chested young man and let him clothe him as follows: With a soft-brimmed Mackinaw straw hat the color of ripe corn silk, a French twilled flannel shirt with narrow stripes of blue silk, a blue silk Windsor bowgathered nnder tbe cbln In a graceful sailor knot, undergarments of Australian wool, long sleeved and neatly fit ting, socks of lisle thread, shoes of russet seal skin, a wide coat of blue serge banging loosely over a pair of suspenderless trousers caught at the waist with a narrow Dolt of cohlte silk, Tbe cost of tbe costume neatly designed by any outfitter of moderate charges would be $50, the effect would be harmonious and the monu ment would be a credit alike to the sculptor and tbe worthy revolution bis work commem orates.

Miss Braddou, the popular English novel ist is now 60 years old; she is rather talk her features are plain, but she has a very intelli gent expression; her hair is of golden red. About 15 years ago she married ber publisher, Mr. Maxwell, and her novels, of which she writes three a year, add greatly to the income of the publishing house. Miss Isabella Bird, tbe enterprising, dauntless little English woman, who has trav eled in so many out-of-the-way countries of the world by herself, and written fascinating ac counts of ber adventures and observations, is married to a bishop.

Mrs. Rosa Vertner Jeffret, the Ken tucky poetess, is one of the most fascinating women of the famous Blue Grass country. Her home is in Lexington, the garden spot of the State. Poetry has been for her the elegant amusement of her leisure hours tbe few hours which the cares ot a large family and tho duties of society allow her to devote to literary pur suits. Henrt Jakes, in one of his stories, tells us that a mother permitted ber child to die of diphtheria rather than have him grow up to read his father's books; Was Mr. James tbe father of this child ?

THEMODEMMINERTA Facts About the London Lady Guide Association Which Provides FAIR MEHT0RS FOR STRANGERS, Who Will Sake Traveling a Pleasure and a Profit for Ladies. A BOON FOE LONELY OLD BACHEL0ES rcoiuutsroxDxxcx or the dispatch.; Loitdon, July 22. extension at all of the area of female employment will be hailed by all right- minded people as a work deserving of , patronage and en couragement Among the numerous schemes thathaw recent ly been started is one which, while it em braces a wide field of usefulness.may certainly lay claim to no small degree of originality. I allude to the "Lady Guide Association" which has been estab lished in London, and which is shortly to be ex tended to Paris. The object is to provide well-educated gentlewomen to act as guides for strangers in sight-seeing, shopping, excursions and other like offices, where an "extensive and peculiar knowledge" of the town and coun try is as necessary as that which Mr. "Weller displayed of the citv of London, when he led Mr. Pickwick straight to the only table with convenient legs in the tavern im mediately round the nearest corner. The working of the system will be best exemplified by stating that the association yas tagen temporary rooms at 1Z1 Pall Mall, Going a Shopping. and that, by sending a telegram to this ad dress from any country in the world, you can be absolutely certain when you reach the English capital that you will find your apartments ready, someone waiting lor you, carefully attendant upon your slightest wish and brimful ot information upon any and all subjects about which you might re quire to be enlightened. EVEBT WISH SUPPLIED. You can hire its guides by the day, week or month, and you can even take them over on the Continent with you. They perform every possible duty that one can ask, and will not only engage rooms at the hotel for you, but will, if you wish, rent you a house or an apartment aud furnish it complete with artistic taste. If you choose, the lady guide will travel with you everywhere, looking after your lnggage, telegraphing ahead for your apart ments and 'undertaking to see that vou miss no point of interest as you go. She" will get you permission to see all sorts of places which, without her influence, you will not be allowed to approach. You can assign children to her care, and she will personally conduct them to their destination if it be anywhere between Land's End and John O'flroat's, or even over upon the Continent, and install them safely in a French pensionnat or a German conservatory of music, as the case may be. The charge for all these services is, for the first class certificated lady-guide three shil lings an hour, or about 75 cents that is if you only engage her by the hour.

About 40 belong either to the second or to the third class of certifi cated members, equally ladies if not quite so au fait in history aud science. SHOPPING EXPERTS. But- the services I have incidentally al luded to are only a little of the multitudi nous ways in which a lady guide may ren der herself useful. Take, for 'instance, shop ping. To woman there is a lurid fascina tion in shopping that no man's imagination can comprehend. Take the concentrated essence of enjoyment a man gets out ot smoking, baseball, poker and church socials, and you don't begin to size up the unction oi a healthy young American wife turned InnsA An ClTfnrri e(r..r T?A.. .. . ft.- . ..., .wgtufc Direct, -Tottenham Court Eoad and Piccadilly with a $50 note in her pocket To pursue this delight ful occupation for a short and blissful period is the heart's desire of a yearly increasing number of American ladies, thousands of whom are abje to gratify their propensity for disposing of large sums of monev in the vawuua maris oi ixraaon and Jf aris. Now. a great deal of energy is wasted by ladies in their desire to do the best, the very best, for their money. For instance, ia London they rush about from store to stdre, spendinga lot Jor cab hire, and after an ex hausting and fruitless day they return to their homes or hotels empty handed of purchases; thus enttailing another course over tbe same track on the morrow. Here the lady guide steps in, and the saving of time and money through knowing exactlv the right omnibus, the right train, the cor rect cab fare, the difference of price in shop ping Bond street. Vyestbourne Grove, or the city, is soon made evident I may add in this connection that the guides have reg ular allowances, and are forbidden to accept commissions, or extra fees, under penalty of dismissal. A BOOM FOR BACHELORS. A special department for needlework, headed by a lady who for 14 years worked for Princess Louise, opens ont new pros pects over fields of labor as yet unexplored. Bachelors living in boarding houses or in college find great difficulty in getting their linen repaired. The work is well adapted to tbe skilled fingers of gentlewomen, many of whom are only too glad to make an honest livelihood by administering those stitches in time which avert catastrophe. Not only unmarried men but many ladies would be glad to know of a place, where lace, table linen, and children's clothes could be carefully mended, and, in the'Iatter cue, lengthened or evea neenitructed. The f.vvU.0 VfflSMrcwSM lis! wtsXMl ' Xl'IA-Hr TAJ e3Za) TTT L 4 -WV i5- c idea is a practical one, uniting the balm of consolation to bachelors, who have vainly struggled with buttons and socks, with the hope of renumeratiae occupation for poor gentlewomen. Those are the most success ful philanthropists who dovetail the needs of one section of the community into the capacities of another. The associations also advise noon dress and etiquette. Some of the lady guides make it their business to act as superin tendents of weddings. A member is de tailed to the house of tbe bride prospective some little time before theceremony. She selects the trousseau, advises what is latest and finest in underwear, buys the material, designs and makes or watches over the making of the gowns. She is au fait in stockings, boots, gloves, laces and handker chiefs. She sees to the millinery and the jackets and wraps. Sh"e gowns the bride's mother aud the younger sisters, if any. She r.V Caring or the Little Ones. dictates to the bridemalds and is the fairy godmother who thinks of everything and lets the engaged couple enjoy themselves with unanxious mind. AMUSEMENT AND INSTRUCTION BLENDED Besides lady guides well up in their own "pure well of'English undefiled," the asso ciation has secured the services of those who are able to conversewith fluency in different languages. What splendid opportunities in an educational point ot view are here offered, where parents desire that their children shonld be combining conversation lessons with sight seeing! The museums, churches, zoological gardens, the monuments and statues, nay, the very streets and bouses In towns like London and Paris are replete with instructions for the yonng; and the ldiosncracies of the rising gen eration might be more rapidly developed by cointaittlnn bovs and trlrls sav on holiday or Saturday afternoons to intelligent lady guides well up in bistory or science or art. whose ob ject would be to teach tbe "yonng Idea bow to shoot" in a way far more effectual than that which now obtains in any classroom. Pleasant excursions In tho suburbs of the capital, which would have nothing In common with the ordinary routine ol tourists' agencies, might vary tbe theme: they would extend over unbeaten paths, such as are known only to the artist, the blstonan or the poet, and through country places full of tbe loveliest scenery to be found in districts bordering on tbe Immedi ate outskirts of those great cities. They might include old chateaux, abbey churches, antique priories, dismantled to vers, ruined monas teries, megallthlc remains, historic houses. Roman wats and walls and bridges, strange and romantic sights, the tabled haunts of the goblin and the fairy. - I feel confident that ere long tbe institution of lady guides will spread all over Europe, aud that the association will have to open branch agencies in almost every capital. The field Is new, and it is entirely free from competition with men, a treat advantage, for the competi tion of the weak with the strong must always end in the weak being worsted. Saba Tzbesa Haix.

They had their berth made np early and soon retired.

But neither wonld believe this, and the old man declared tbe porter bad let him in to rob them.

Pessimism itself concedes so muck but is bothered by the question as o whether the ontward gain has not been made at cost of an inward loss. Those who look on the dark side are never tired of say ing we should judge by quality not quan tity. They ask (in a tone which implies that the answer must confirm their view), "Whether religion to-day has not lost in grace and grip more than it has gained in conquest and aggrandisement? "Well, this is a question of fact, and must be settled by an appeal to facts. Test it by an examination of the average religious condi tion at two or three great periods of the past. The apostolic age was one of great earnestness and religions power. Yet in that age "St. Panl rebukes the church in Corinth (one of the most prominent and famous In the ancient world) for offenses which are now committed only in pot houses. It seems that the brethren turned the holy commnnion Into an occasion' lor gluttony and drunkenness: "One is hungry, and another is drunken." says the great apostle, and be adds: "What I ha7e ye not houses to eat and drink In T or despise ye the Chnrch of God?" The most frantic pessimist wonld not venture to address such words to any church now the occasion bas lone; sinco ceased. The Puritan colony of Marsachnsetts in 1G30 is often cited as a model community. Cer talnly..it was profoundly rellsious and after the best type of that day. Yet it was so far from acceptins, or even conceiving, ot truths which are axiomatic in our times, that its most hon ored and influential pastor, John Cotton, wrote this sentence, to which the whole world said amen: "It was toleration that made the world anti Christian, and the Church never took barm by the punishment of hentlcs." Under this dictum the ears of refractory Quakers were clipped: and Roger Williams, a hero of faith born 200 years too soon, was driven igno mluiously out of Massachusetts because be set bis ideas of democracy and toleration on two feet and bade them runabout the streets of Boston. Roger Williams himself was behind rather than ahead of his generation on some points. He refused, for instance, to unite with the church in Boston "because its members wonld not make public declaration of their repent ance for having commenced with the Church ot Enzland before emigration." It was then a mooted question as to whether women were commanded to appear at chnrcb veiled. Singu larly enough Williams, the radical, said yes, and the conservative Cotton said no. The his toric opponents for once changed places: and Cotton handled the subject so convincingly one Sunday morning that the ladies cqsne to church in the afternoon unveiled. Coming down to a day within the memory of people yet living; we and a state-of things la mentable enougb; little or no interest in mis sions, nome or foreign; bitter rivalry and jel onsles between tbe denominations: no commu nity of Christian feeling; an adhesion to creeds at the exgense of practical piety, with narrow ness and bigotry rampant No; a knowledge of the past is the best anti dote for comolaint of the present. There is enongh now that is perplexing: not because former times were so millennial, but because the progress has been and is so slow. But bad as to-day Is, yesterday was worse. i e hub gained enougn. not for satisfaction, but for encouragement On the gronnd of what bas been done the cbnrches may well be inspired to greater effort Let tho watch words be hope and zeaL Grading; Sunday Schools. One of the most encouraging features of chnrch work at present is the Sunday school, with Its millions of scholars ana tens of thou sands of teachers. This agency has replaced, and splendidly replaced, the old time formal pastoral visits and catechetical instruction occasions when the family in starch and buck ram sat in state while the dominie, also in starch and buckram, ever so often endnred on their side and inflicted on his side a stilted ex amination concerning points of theology which speedily carried all parties into deep water. But the Sunday school is yt far from perfect A chief difficulty with it lies in the indifferent fitness of the teachers. These, for tbe most part, are constrained. They nndertake their work, not from love of it, still less f.-om apti tude, but in response to nrgent appeals. They make little or no preparation for teaching are noticeably absent from teachers' meetings, and saunter into the school on Sunday with an air of ennui, which says as plainly as though It were spoken: "I am here out of a sense of duty. Let us hurry and get through and away." What wonld be thought of a writer who brought to his task no special knowledge of a preacher who made no preparation for the duties of the sacred desk? Fewer teachers bnt abler ones; larger classes, taught by amply cijuiijcu lusuuviu, nuum ue a step in tne right direction. The Sunday school ought to be graded like a pnblic school, and its officers, from the superintendent to the librarian, shonld be selected and placed on the gronnd of fitness. The methods so successful in secu lar education might wisely be adopted in tbe Sunday school and must be before tbe best results caq be reached. Let it be understood that that is no place for scholars that yawn and tcauuera uiai gape. The two supreme objects of a Snnday school are: tbe Instruction, and through this, the in gathering into the church of. the younr. Everything, from openine to close, shnnlrl mn- duce to these ends. The teaching, especially, J ouuuau uc uui. uTot az&iusi, iuese ODjects: the language plain, pithy, energetic, electric, and the spirit charged with love and solicitude. Away with the gospel of hum-drum. Wake tin Rip Van Winkle. Avoid tediousness. Make the session brief. Don't forget time in the contemplation of eternity. The1 Snnday school of to-day. in order to be as good as the Snnday school of yesterday, must be a great deal better must be what it should be with its present advantages and opportunities. Tbo Factor ol Modern Life. Some one points out tbe fact that thoueht is not the supreme factor in modern life. News Is this factor. Sensation has taken the place of thinking. Germany, "the land of thought," furnishes interesting illustrations. Say what you will of the great universities and the mag nificent libraries, they are, after all, for tbe few. Tbe dally press is tbe dally food of tbe nation. Now Mackenzie is the sensation; then an empress; then Bismarck; Geffken comes to the front, disappears in prison, and Morner is tbe theme; tbe English Ambassador is lost sight ot when the tragedy of Crown Prince Rudolf and Baroness Vetsera furnish an In teresting and exciting sensation: then King Milan leaves his throne and becomes the hero of the press for a week. Then the Interest centers around the divorced Queen, and the papers wonder whether she will now return to Servla and influence her son and national af fairs in favor of Russia. In thev Intervals, the pause, or between tbe acts, Bonlanger poses, or tho French Ministry dances before the public, orParnell and Irish affairs are excitedly dis cussed. Prospects of war are also made inter esting episoaes. Crime and fraud and filth are the pepper and salt and mustard always ready for proper seasoning. Is that thoneht? Is that intellectual culture? Is that solid dally food? Thoughts for the Sabbnlb. The substance of duty Is: Admit, submit, commit, transmit. Canon Wilberjorce.

Do to-day's duty, fight to-day's temptation, and do not weaken and distract yourself by looking forward to things which you cannot see, and conld not understand if you saw them. Charles Kingsley. "Br their fruits ye shall know them." is the text which our Lord asked to have applied to himself. When John was in prison and won dered whether Jesus was tbe Messiah, no direct answer was given.

A farmer had 2S6 sheep and a square pasture, which was divided Into 16 square fields of equal size. As the grazinir was very uneven in the different pastures, the farmer distributed the sheep so as to put the greatest number In the best fields and tbe least number in the poorest fields. He put an odd number of sneep in each field, and then found that the total number of sheep in every four adjacent fields was 64- This was true from east to west from north to south and diagonally; also for any four fields which together formed a square. The total number of sheep in the four comer fields was also 64, How did the farmer distribute tbe sheep? J. H. Fezaxdie. 686 NUMERICAL ENIGMA.
