visions ot heaven. Indeed it U almost at
way so that the briirbtest visions ol
beaven come not to those who are on
monctala top of prosperity, but to some
John on desolate Patroos, or to some Paul
tn Mamertine duoifeon, or to some Esekiel
standing on the banks ot a dltoh be bad
been oompelled to dig yea. to the weary, to
- the heartbroken, to thoae whom sorrow has
banished. The text is very pardon tar to
give us tbe exast time ot the vision. It was
In tbe thirteenth year and in the foartb
month and In the fifth day ot tbe month.
Bo yon bad visions of earth yon shall nanrar
forget. Yon remember the year, you remem
ber the month, vou remember the day, yoo
remember the boar. Why may we not have
some snob vision now and it be in tbe
twelfth month and in sixth day of the
month?
The question is often silently asked.thoogh
perhaps nver audibly propounded, "What
are nur departed Christian friends doioir
now?" The question is more easily answered
than you mlirlit perhaps suppose. Though
there has come no recent intelligence from
the beavnnly city, and we seem dependent
upon tbe story of eighteen oantnriea ago.
Mill I think we may from strongest inferenoe
decide what are the present occupation of
oar transferred kinsfolk. After God has
made a nature He never eradicates the chief
characteristic ot its temperament. Ton never
knew a man phlegmatic in temperament to
become sanguine in temperament.
You never knew a man san
guine in temperament to become phlegma
tic in temperament. Conversion plants new
principles in the soul, bat Paul and John are
just as different from eaob other after eori
verslon as they were different from each
other before conversion. It conversion does
not eradicate the prominent characteristics
of temperament, neither will death eradicate
them. Paul and John are as different from
each other in beaven as they were different
from eah other in Asia Minor.
You have, then, only by a sum In sub
traction and a sum in addition to dauids
what are the employments of your departed
friends in the better world. You are to
subtract from them all earthly grossness
nnrl Hit1 nil Aiuthlv irnodneaa. and then von
are to oome to the conclusion that they are
doing now in heaven what in their best
moment they did on earth. Tha reason
why so many people never start for heaven
Is because they could not stand It If they
got there If it should turn out to be the
rigid and formal place some people photo
graph it. We like to come to church, but
we would not want to stay here till next
summer. We like to heiir the "Halleluiah
Choru," but we would not want to hear
it all the time for fifty centuries. It might
be on some grant occasion it would be possi
bly comfortable to wear a orown o' gold
weighing several pounds, but it would be an
affliction to wear such a crown forever, in
other words, we run the descriptions of heaven
into the ground while we mak4 that which
was intendod as special and celeb rat ive to
be the exclusive employment in heaven. You
might as well, if asked to describe the habits
of American society, describe a Decoration
Day or a Fourth of July, or an autumnal
Thanksgiving, as though it were all tbe timr
that way.
I am not going to speculate in regard to
the future world, but I must, by ioev. table
laws ot inference and deduction and common
sense, conclude that ;n heaven we will be
)ustas different from each other as we are
now different, and hence that there will bj at
least as many different employments in the
celeetinl world as there are employments
here. ChrUt Is to be tbe great loV, the great
joy, the great rapture, the great worship of
heaven. But wilt that abolish employments?
No more than love on earth paternal, filial.
fraterosJ, conjugal love abolishes earthly
occupation.
In the first place. I remark that all those
ot our departed Christian friends who on
earth found great joy in the fine arts areniw
indulging their tastes in the s tme direction.
On earth they bad their gladdest pleas a res
amid pictures and statuary anl in the study
of the laws of light and shade and pnrapec
tive. Have you any idea that that affluence
of faculty at death col'apsed and perished?
Why so, when there is more for them to look
at an i they have keener appreciation of the
beautiful and they stand amidthevjry looms
where tbe sunsets and the rainbows and the
spring morniutrs are woven? Are yea so ob
tuse as to snppjse, because the painter droos
bis easel aud the sculptor his chisel and the
eoKrav r his kuife, that therefore that taste
which be was enlarging and intensifying for
forty or fifty years is entirely obliterate 1?
These artists, or these friends of art on earth,
worked in coarse material and with imper
fect brain and with frail hind. Sow they
have carried their art into larger liberties
and into wider cir umferenoe. They are at
their old business yet, bat without the
fatiguefe. without tbe limitations, without
tbe hindrances of the terrestrial studio.
Raphael could improve upon his master
piece of "Michael the Archangel" now that
tie has seen him, and could improve npon
bii masterpieces of the "Holy Trinity" now
thnt he hns visited them. Michael Angelo
could better present tbe "Last Judgment"
after he had seen its flash and beard the
rumbling battering rams of its thunder. Ex
quisite colors bore, graceful lines beie, pow
erful chiaroscuro here, but I am persuaded
that the gran ier studies and the brighter
galleries are higher np, by the winding mar
blest airs of the sepnloher. and that Turner
and Holman Hunt and Rembrandt and Titian
ami Paul Veronese, if they exercised saving
faith in the Christ whom they portrayed
npon the canvas, are painting yet, but their
strength of faculty multiplied ten thousand
fold. I remark again that all oar departed
Christian friends who in this world were
passionately fond of musle are still regaling
that taste in the world celestial. The Bible
ays so niu -h about the music of beaven that
it cannot a!i be figurative. Wby all this talk
about hallelujahs and ebolrson the glass and
trumpets and harps and oratorios and or
gans The Bible over and overagain speaks
of the eotigs of heaven. If heaven bad no
songs of Its own. a vast number of those on
earth would have been taken np by the
earthly emigrants. Surely the Christian at
death does not lose his memory. Then there
must be millions of tools In heaven who
know "Coronation" and "Antioch" and
'Mount risgah" and "Old Hundred." The
leader nf the eternal orchestra need only
once tap his baton, and all beaven will be
ready for the hallelujah.
If heaven should ever get out of music,
Thomas Hastings and Lowell Mason and
Bradbury would start up a bundred old
magnificent chorals. But what with the
new song that John mentions, and the vari
ous doxologies alluded to, and the importa
tion of sublunar harmonies, a Christian
fond of music, dying, will have an abund
ance of regalement. You must remember
that they have-better instruments of music
wbere they are. You ask me, "Do they
have real harps and real trumpets and real
organc?" I do not know. Some wiseacres
say positively there are no such things in
heaver. I do not know, but I shoull not
be surprised it the God who made all the
mountains and nil the bills, and a'l the
forests nml all the mines of the earth, and
all the growths of the universe I should
not be surprised if He could, if He had
mind to, make a few harps and trumpets
and organs. Grand ol 1 Haydn, sick and
wornont. was carried tor the last time
Into the ni'Jsii ball; there he heard his
oratorio of the "Crvation." His ory ays
that as the orchestra came to that famous
jas-age, "L t there be light!" the whole
audience rose an 1 cheered, and Haydn
waved his hand toward heaven ani said.
It coms from there!" Overwhe'me-1
with his own music, he was C:rriel out ic
his chair, and as he cams tc tha door he
spread his bun I toward tbe orchestra as in
bene.iirtion. Haydn was right when he
waved his band toward heaven and said, "It
comes from there." Musle was born in
beaven, an 1 it will ever have its highest
throne in heaven, and I want you to under
Hand that our departed frienls wbi were
passionately ton i ot music here are now at
the headquarters of harmony. I think that
the grand old church tunes that diet when
your grandfathers uiei nave goue witn tnem
to heaven. When those tunes died, they did
not stay on earth, ani they could not have
been banished to perdition, and so I think
they must be in the corridors of alabaster
and Lebanon sedar.
Airatn, I remark that those of onr de
parted Christian friends who in this world
bad very strong military spirit are now In
mmies celestial and out tn bloodless battle.
There are hundreds of people bDrn soldiers.
They cannot help it. They belong to regi
ments in time of peaie. They cannot hear
drum or fire without trying to keep step to
the maslc They are Christians, and when
they light they fight on the right side. Now,
when these our Christian friends wbo bad
natural and powerful military spirit ente-ed
heaven tbey entered the oelestial army. The
door ot heaven scarcely opens but yon hear
military demonstration. David pried out.
"Tha chariots ot Oo1 r SO.OM! Elian
saw tbnmidatalns fillet with celestial cav
alry. St. John said, las armies which are
In heaven followed Him on White horses.
Now. woeo those who had tbe military spirit
on earth saactifled entered glory, I suppose
they right away enlisted oa soma heavenly
campaign; they volanteered right away.
Tbere most needs be In heaven soldiers with
soldierly spirit. There are grant parade
dar. when the King reviews the troops. There
most be an armed escort seat oat to bring up
from earth to heaven thosa wbo were more
than conquerors. There must be erusades
ever being fitted out for some part of Ooi's
dominion battles, bloodless, groanlaas.
painless angels of evil to be fought down
aal fought out, other rebellions world to
be conquered, worlds to be pat to the torch,
worlds to be saved, worlds to bs demolished,
worlds to be sank, worlds to b hoist el. Be
sides that, in oar own world there are bat
tles for the right and against the wrong
where we most have tha heavenly military.
That is what keeps us Christian reformers so
buoyant. So few goo J men against so many
bid m-n; so few churches against so many
grogshops; so many pure printing presses
against so many pollute I printing presses,
and yet we are buoyant and courageous,
beea use. while we know that tbe armies of
evil in the world are larger in numbers
than the army ot truth, there are celestial co
horts In the air fighting on onr side. I bare
not so much faith in the army on tbe ground
as I have in tbe army in the air. O Ood,
open oar eyes that we may see them the
military spirits that went up from earth to
join the military spirits before the throne
Johai and Caleb and Gideon and David and
Samson and tbe hundreds ot Christian war
riors who on earth fought with fleshly arm,
and now, having gone up on high, are com
ing down the hills of heaven ready to fight
tmong tbe invlsibl- s.
But what areour mathematical friends to
do in the next world? They found their joy
ail delight In mathematics. There was
more poetry to them in Euclid than in John
Milton. Taey were passionately fond of
mathematics as Plato, who wrote over his
door, "Let no one enter here w'ao is not ac-
3 tf lintel with geometry." What are thry
oing now? They are busy with figures yet.
No place In all tbe-nniverse like heaven for
figures. Numbers inliilte. distaneas Infinite,
calculations infinite. If thy want them,
arithmetics and algebras and geometries and
trigonometries for all eternity. What fields
of space to be surveyed! Wust magottodaj
to measure! Wnat diameters, what circum
ferences, whit triangles, what quatern-oos,
what epicycloids, what parallelogruns, what
eonio sections!
What are our departed Christian friends
who are explorers doing now? Exploring
yet, but with lightning locomotion, with
vision microscopic and teiescooio at the same
time. A eontinent at a glance, a world in a
second, a planetary system in a day. Chris

blockaded Jeannette from the Ice; Christian
Livingstone, no more amid African malarias,
trying to make revelation of a dark con
tinent, but all of them in tbe twinkling or an
eye taking In that which was once unap
proachable. Mont Blana scaled without
alpenstock, the coral depths of the ocean ex
plored without a diving bell, the mountains
unbarred and opened without Sir Humphrey
Davy's safety lamp.
What are our departed friends who foun 1
their chief joy in study doing now? Study
ing yet, but, instead of a few thousani vol
umes on a few shelves, all the volumes of tbe
universe open before them geologic, orm
tho'ogic. conchologle. botanic, astronomic,
philosophic No more need of Ley len jars
or voltaie piles or electric batteries, standing
as thay do face to faoe with the lasts ot the
universe.
What are the historians doing now?
Studying history yet, but not the history of
a few centuries ot our planet only, but the
history of the eternities whole millen
niums, before Xenophen or Herodotus or
Moses or Adam was born. History of one
world, history ot all worlds. What are our
departel astronomers doing? Studying
astronomy yet, but not through the dull
lens of earthly observatory, but with one
stroke of wing going right out to Jupi
ter and Mars and Mercury and Saturn
and Orion and the Pleiades. oyjrta'cinT

to see for themselves.
Wbat are onr departed Christian ohemists
doing? Following out their own science, fol
lowing out and following out forever. Since
tbey died they have solved 10,000 questions
which puzzled the earthly laboratory. They

We want wisdom from the Creator to study
these rocks. He mads them. Let us pray."
Agassiz going right on with his studies for
ever and forever.
But what are the men of the law, who In
this world found their chief joy in the legal
profession wbat are they doiag now Study
ing law In a universe wbere everything Is
controlled by law from tbe flight of bum
ming birds to flight ot world law not dry
and hard and drudging, but righteous and
magnificent law. before which man and
cherub and seraph and archangel and Go I
Himself bow; the chain ot law long enough
to wind around the Immensities and Infinity
and eternity. Chain of law. What a place
to study law, where all the links ot tbe chain
are in the hand !
Wbat are our departed Christian friend'
wno in tnts world had their joy in trie heal
ing art doing now? Busy at their old busi
ness. No sickness in heaven, but plenty of
sickness on earth, plenty of wounds in the
different parts of God's dominion to be
healed and to be medicated: thosa glorified
souls coming down not In lazy doctor's gig,
bat with lightning locomotion. You cannot
understand why that patient got well after
all the skillful doctors bad said he must die.
Perhaps Abercrombie, who, after many yean
doctoring the bodies and the souls ol
people in Scotland, went up to
Ood in 1844. Perhaps Abercrombie
touched him. I should not wonder if my
old friend, Dr- John Brown, who died in Ed
inburgh John Brown, the author ot "Rit
and His Friends," John Brown, who was a!
humble a Cnristian as be was a skillful phy
sician and world renowned author I hhould
not wonder If be had been back ai;ain and
again to see some of bis old patients. Those
wbo bad their Joy in healing the sickness
and the woes of earth, gone up to heaven,
are eome forth again for benignant medi
cament. But what are our friends who found theli
chief Joy in conversation and In sociality do
ing now? In brighter conversation there and
in grander wxnality. What a pla-e to visit
in when your next door neighbors are kinsri
andqueens, you yourselves kingly and queen
ly! If they want to know more particularly
about tbe first paradise, they have only to go
over and ask Adam. If they want to know how
tbe sun and the moon halted, they have only
to go over and ask Joshua. If tbey want to
know how tbe storm pelted Sodom, tour have
only to go over and ask Lot. If thnv want
to know more about the arrogance of Hainan,
they have only to go over and ask Mor ler.il.
If they want to know how tbe Red Sea boiled
when It was cloven.they hare only to go over
and ask Mosee. It they want to know the
particulars about tbe Bethlehem advent,
they bave only to go over and ask tbe
serenading angels who stood that Christ
mas night in the balconies of erystnl. If
tbey -want to know more of the particulars
of the crucifixion, they have only to go ov.-r
and ask those who were personal spastators
while the mountains crouched and the
he.T7ens got black in the face at the spec
ta le. It they want to know more about the
sufferings of the Scotch Covenanters, they
bave only to go over and ask Andrew Mel
ville. If they want to know more about tha
old time revivals, they have only to ko over
'to ask Whltefleld. and Wesley, and Livings
ton, andFletcber, and Nettieton, and Finney.
But what are onr departed Christian
friends who in all departments of usefulness
were busy finding their chief joy in doing
good what are they doing now? Ooing
right an with the work. John Howard vis,
Iting dungeons; the dead woman of northern
and southern battlefields still abroad looking
for the wounded: George Pea body still
watching tbe poor; Thomas Clarkson still
looking after the enslaved all of those who
did good on earth busier since death than
before; the tombstone not the terminns.but tbe
starting post. What are our departed Chris
tian friends who found their eblef Joy In
studying God doing now? Studying God
yet. No need ot revelation now, for un
bleached, they are faoe to faoe. Now they
can handle the omnipotent thunderbolts'
Just as a child handles the sword of a fath

They have no sin; no fear, consequently.
Studying Christ, not through a revelation

There is going to be a great meeting in the

standing in the temple. Alt Leaven gather

Those who loved music eome to listen to His
voice. Those who were mathematicians come
to count the years of . His reign. Those who
were explorers eome to discover the height
and the depth and tbe length and breadth
of His love. Those who had tbe military
spirit on earth sanctified, and the military
spirit in heaven, eome to look at the Cap
tain of their salvation. The astronomers
eome to look at the Morning Star. The
men of the law eome to look at Him who is
the Judge of quick and dead. The men who
healed the slek same to look at Him who
was wounded for onr transgressions. All
different and different forever In miny
respects, yet all alike In admiration for
Christ. In worship for Christ, and
all alike la joining In the doxology, "Unto
Him who washed as from oar sins In His
own blood, and made us kings and priests

To show yon that onr departed friends are
more alive than they ever were, to make yon
homesick for heaven, to rive yon an enlarge I

TO FiX UNIFORM WHEAT PRICES.
Russia Said to Favor aa International Con

Nations of tbe world.
Tbe idea suggested, as outlined, is that
these Nations, should they see fit to nnite in
an agreement npon the subject, could fix a
price for wheat to be maintained uniformly
through various seasons of overproduction
and unsatisfactory crops caused by drought
or continual tain, and thus make the princi

From the Prts. Utica if. T.
Mr. William Dale is a highly respected far- j
Bier living in that part of tbe township ot
BrookOeld known as tbe "Waterman DIs- '
trlot," and Is well known as a thrifty and j
honorable man of independent means. Three
years aro Mr. Dale was disabled from rheo
matism in a most aiwravaled form, which
medical skill seemed powerless to relieve,
bin suddenly be became to all appearand
cured, was able to attend to bis work, and
ever since has been in looks at least the in
Carnation of sound bodily health.
The following is If r. Dale's own statement
of his ease and what wrought tbe ehanire.
JJasoanaxD, New York, Jnly 14th, 1896V
- "I am fifty-one years old, and by birth an
Englishman. In my early it .e I followed the
avora iiu of fisherman. In which by expo
Sure I contracted rheumatism, from wblon I
suffered more or less for many years. About
three vears ago, I arose one morning to And
myself crippled, and he least exertion
brought on most excruciating pains, so that
I was formtd to seek relief by going to bed
and retraining motionless. Our family phy
sician was imroejla ely summoned, and be
bngan the usual course of remedies- but lu
st -a I of helping me I became worse. My
joints, especially In my left arm were in- I
Oamei and hot. I suffered much from de
rangement of the heart, and constant sweats,
which were of a sour, III smelling nature, i
ktv appetite failed me, my tongue was thickly
soateil. and al'ogetber I was in a bad jray.
In addition to this, worriment of mind be
cause I could not attend to the spring work
on two farms which I owned, made my Gon
dii Inn deplorable,
"While in this unhappy state, my friend,
Hr Amos Jnquars, of Columbus Centre,
hearing of my Illness, came over and recom
mended me to try Dr. Williams' Pink Pills,
which he said bad cured him of kidney dis
tuse. He also stated that William Woodmau,
aliom I had known to be a terrible rheu
liatie .uffnrer all his life, wa through this
r medy now in tbe best of health.
" To make a lons story short, I sent over
to Mr. Hi las York, who keeps a store and
a lls groceries fry wagon through tbe eoun
ry, for a box of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills,
tnd began to take them a' cording to direc
tions. The results of I be new treatment
sr-re astonishing, as after taking nine of the
sills I was at work and ever since bave done
ray full share ol labor.
"Pink Pills are now our physician. We
llways keep them in the bouse, and doctors
i.ls have ceased to be a part of the family
expenses.
"These pills are eeomlng pretty well
tnown in this part of tbe country, as all who
lave here used them swear by tnem, and do
II in their power to make their virtues
known.
"The above is a true statement, and if
teceesary I will make oath to tbe same.
"Wm. Diu "

To one who has visited a telephone
ixchange and noticed how central
works, it is a-musing to watch tbe be
kavior of tbe man who cannot get rec
ognition. In nine cases oat of ten, if
the hour is late and central Is sleepy,
he goes throhgh this performance:
He turns tbe handle sharply. Jabs
the receiver at bis ear, and shouts "Hel
lo!" through tbe transmitter. After
Waiting a moment or so, he repeats
the action. Still no answer. Then, un
less he is a church member, be uses
language that he would not wish bis
wife to bear, atbd twista tbe handle
of the calling bell until hla wrist aches.
It does not disturb central. No bells
ring in the telephone exchange. When
the subscriber rings a iozenge-abaped
f Isk drops, and the number of the call
ing 'phone la exposed. That Is alL It
remains exposed until .central answers
tbe call and puts tbe disk back. If
central's bead Is turned the other way,
kll tbe ringing in tbe world won't at
tract ber attention. When she looks
around she'll see the exposed number
tnd answer the call. If she never looks
around she'll never learn of the calL
New York Times.
A good many people would rather
make a party call than attend the party.

. Gmm Which Hat.
This trick win take the breath away
from your friends when you try It oa
them. It Is called "Tha Wonderful
Hat" Take three pleoaa sf bread (or
any other eatable) and three hats.
Place the three pieces of bread oa a ta
ble and place a bat ever each one. Now
Tuft ap each bat, and. taking the piece
of bread which It covers, eat it before
the company, replacing each bat, open
teg down, aa yon do so. Then ask
those who are watching you under
which hat of the three tbey would like
to find the bread. Whichever one la
designated, place that bat npon your
head and say that you have done at
they requested.
Awfsd Threat by a S-Tear-Old.
She was Just S years old. but she was
capable of emotions which in their In
tensity would strain the capacity of
much larger breasts than hers.
"I am as mad as a bull, she cried.
"I am golag to grow me some horns
and ran everybody out of the house."
Her grandmother overheard the re
mark and called tbe little one to her
aide.
"Ton wouldn't run your grandmother
sot of tha boose, would your she ask
ed. "N-no, tbe tot replied, relenting un
der tbe personal appeal; "you could
hide.-.
"Would you run your mamma out?"
"Your papa and Aunt Mary and Jack
wbat about them?" persisted tbe
grandmother.
"Tbey could all bide."
"But, my dear, what use would your
horns be If we could all bide?"
"O," she cried, with delightful Incon-
alstency, "but I could find you, though."
To Make for Father.
Do you want to make a penwiper for
father for Christmas? Tou shall make
him one that will make him smile, but
will be useful all tbe same. Look at
the menagerie. Re-draw the animals
about five or six times the size of these,
or, if you like, copy any other animal
out of a picture book. Cut the crea
ture out. put it on a piece of gray cloth,
and then cut several others In red flan
nel exactly the same In shape but just
a little smaller than the one meant for
the actual coat of tbe beastle. Stitch
all tbe different shapes of the same ani
mal together, but If tbe upper coat is
of cloth which frays st the edge you
must sew tbe edges round with button
bole stitches in colored silk. Then you
sew on a black bead for an eye; in tbe
case of the donkey you add a bridle of
red wool, and. of course. If you want to
give tbe tU-phant a gorgeously embroi
dered eadcle, you can easily do so with
a few bits of colored silk. And now
settle down to work.
A Fa ran Where fnalls Are Kalaed.
Over In Switzerland tbe people are
very fond of snails almost as fond aa
the American boy Is of mince pie. It
long ago became Impossible for even
sharp-eyed snail-hunters to find all tbe
snails they could sell, snd so some of
the clerer Swiss have started snail
farms. Aa yon may imagine, tbey are
odd places, only a few rods square and
divided Into small parts, separated by
fences about two feet high, with nails
along the top to prevent the snails
from running away. Little arbors of
moss are provided for the snails as
belter from the sun. if there Is not
lime or chalk In the earth of the farm
tbe farmer sprinkles It about. Snails
eat cabbage, salad, nettles and dande
lion. Tbey seem to be most hungry
after a rain.
The harvest time for snails is tbe lat
ter part of August or the first of Sep
tember. Then tbe snails are sorted
out. Those having round white bouses
are considered fat, and are the most
valuable. Tbey are packed In boxes
containing soft hay for shipment ant
they sell for high prices.
The Weed's Wlasja.
"Mamma, I never knew weeds were
so pretty. Just look herer And Grade
held before her mother a downy white
globe of tbe daintiest texture, clinging
to a stiff, brown little stem.
"Isn't rt beautiful T" said "
"See, the globe la made np of white
whige."
"Wings r said Grade, wooderlngly.
They look like little white stars."
"Tea," answered mamma, "they do,
but tbey are really wings. Do you see
the duster of Uttle brown seeds at tbe
center 7"
"Tea," said Oracle, looking at It care
fully. "Now." amid mamma, "pull one of
them out,. No; wait Blow the globe
Instead."
Bo Oracle blew npon It gently, and lot
away floated tbe little white stars, each
carrying wtth K a tiny brown aeed.
. "Now do yon see," asked mamma,
"wby I called them wings? Each little
aeed baa a wing, and when tbe wind
blows upon it it flies away, carrying Its
seed wtth It, and then it drops down,
sometimes a long waya from the spot
wbere the little weed which bore It
grew, and there the IMfle seed lies antn
it aiaas Into tbe earth, ripens and saade
forth an ithir weed of the earns kind."
"Ismt It wonderful, mamma? And
as how beautiful each Uttle whig la.
I aha 11 never aay 'old weeds' again.
Their seed wings are as pretty as the
flowers."

His Search.
A novel reason for curiosity was late
ly given by a tall, lank Westerner to a
New England spinster on a southern
bound train. The Western man took
the aeat beside tbe New Englander, it
being the only one unoccupied. She
did not look at him, but tbougta ber eyes
were fastened on her book, she felt his
gaze ecrBtinlzins her face.
After a moment be said genially,
"Howdy dor
Tbe spinster glanced up from her
book, and seeing the gullelessness ot
the elderly face, said, half-unconsclone.
ly, "How do you do 7"
'I'm pretty well," replied the Western
er. "And what might your name be,
ma'am?"
"It might be anything, I presume,"
returned tbe spinster, with dignity, and
yet not being able to feel exactly offend
ed, "but It la Brown."
"Thank 'e," aald the Westerner, look
ing somewhat disappointed. "I hope
there's no harm dons by my asking.'
"Certainly not," aald tbe spinster, un
bending a little la spite of herself.
"Tou see," explained the Westerner,
confidentially, "I've got a cousin about
your age, I should Judge, down la
Georgia that I ain't ever seen; and I
might come on her some time J net by
asking folks their names; and I don't
ever expect to see her unless it to Is
Jest some such way, ma'am."
After which silence fell npoa the two
until, half an hour later, the Westerner
spoke again as he rose, bag In hand.
"I aee a aeat over there by a middle
aged lady," he said, "and I'm a-gotng to
see if maybe she's the one. Ton see,
this cousin's tbe only living relation
I've got, and I should like to run across
her; but If that lady ain't the one,
there's no ass my trying aay farther In
this car, for all the rest of the women
folks are too young."
So saying, he went over to the other
seat; but a moment or two later he
returned with a crestfallen expression
on bis thin face. "She ain't the one,
either," he aald. Then he sank Into his
seat and aald nothing more till he reach
ed his destination, when he bade tbe
New England spinster "Good-by!" and
departed.
