9UT OP THE MOUTH
OF BABES.
WHAT led Herr Schweppe to
Join the Amanltes no one
knew bnt the elders. The
Amanltes did not gossip about it. They
era not given to gossiping about any
thing.' Work, duty, God these were
til their thoughts. But the visitors to
the close-lying Amana villages seldom
tailed to notice that Herr Schweppe
was a gentleman and to wonder how
he came to Join me Amanltes, with
their plain clothes and their Uvea of
toll. The mystery was hid In the books
if the elders. There was once a visitor
who claimed that be had a glimpse of
the page and saw "Bismarck" written
twice on Herr Schweppe's record. The
aame was "Von Schweppe," too, this
visitor said, although it waa only
Schweppe now.
Be that as It may, Herr Schweppe'i
laughter, Annie, bore the traits of
sobie German birth. She was a dark
salred, dark-eyed maid, appearing
among the other girls of the community
Oka a bit of Sevrea ware surrounded
by pieces of useful but homely plain
white china. Little did the thrifty,
godly Amanltes care for such beauty.
In Amana a yard of blue calico waa
accounted as worth far more than a
Simple.
The sorrows of exile killed Herr
Schweppe when Annie was a child, be
fore she had grown so beautiful. An
sle had never seen a mirror, and no
ne told her of her beauty. Her mother
floated over tt In secret She loved
Annie far better than the elders would
have sanctioned, but when the child
was near she waa silent and cold. The
nfe of repression had had lta effect on
peor Mother Schweppe.
In Amana the elders discouraged
tovemaklnvg. Men and women entered
the church by different doors, and a
Bne of sawdust-box cuspidors marked
iff the men's side of the house. But
among the girls at the Amana gaat
bus were two persons who did not
hare the law of Amana In their hearts.
They were not Amana girls, bnt came
from outside, for no Amanita would
have permitted his daughter to be sub
lected to the gaae of the strangers In
Che gasthaua. It was Madge and Nora,
Uasl who pnt all the mischief Into An
ita's mind.
Jane moonlight waa falling over the
fellow wheat fields, and the fragrance
f grapevine blossoms on the wall half
Intoxicated Annie as she leaned ont of
the small, square window next the
ilanting roof of her mother's cottage.
It was while Annie was still thinking
of the land that might He outside of
Amana that Madge and Xora came
along and asked her to go with them
to their "party." And Annie stole away,
and went.
A ghostly little "party" it was, of
Madge and Nora and Annie and only
three others, in the hotel kitchen, but
aa they sat In the glare of the oil-lamp
reflector It seemed to Annie the wild
est dissipation. Two sheepish young
Amanltes slouched on the bench at one
ride of the kitchen, nervously pulling
Ehelr straw hats over their faces if any
ne glanced it them. The third young
man was entirely unlike these. Annie,
big-eyed and timorous, gazed at him
In wonder. He wore such clothes as
Btted him; bis ruddy hair was brushed
back from his cars, not over them, in
the fashion of the Amanltes. His face
was clean-shaven, his figure lithe and
sinewy, and his merry eyes roved hith
er and thither while he regaled the
company with music. It was a mouth
organ which he played, but no matter.
To Annie it was heavenly. She had
never before heard music of any kind,
for the Amanltes attached a penalty
rven to whistling. Suddenly Annie was
trembling and sobbing, and the player,
conscience-smitten, ceased his melody.
He was not a great stranger to her,
as Annie had thought He bad, not so
very many years ago, worn the blue
Jeans and straw hats of the commun
ity. He was none otuer than Hermann,
the son of Herr Tappan, whom Annie
had often seen in church when a child.
The community had permitted Hen
Tappen to send his son away to a col
lege, for Hermann was to be the phy
sician of the community, their Hen
Doctor, as they called him.
Hermann understood the timidity ot
Annie. He, too, had once been restrain
ed till all his thoughts were sadness
Ub Unrip the eirls tnke tier at nnra
her mother's cottage, and he watched
them till Annie had disappeared
through the window.
But why should the young Herr Doc
tor come to Mother Schweppe's cottage
Wt day, asking for her famous wine
for his patients?
"Knowest thou not I have disposed
of it long before this timer cried
Mother Schweppe.
"I thought perhaps thou mightst be
making it again," faltered Hermann.
"Make wine in June? What sort of
a manf' and Mother Schweppe laugh
ed loudly and unmelodlously, much as
ane of her cabbages might have laugh
ed. And while her dull eyes were closed
In mirth. Hermann crushed Into Annie' 1
hand a bit of paper, and Annie, child
though she was, hid herself among the
grapevines befere she dared to open It.
"Thou art most beautiful! 1 love
thee." That was all.
After that It was easy for Annie to
climb down by the grapevine from her
window, and once she went alone with
Hermann, far down tae mAKrr rail
road track. Bat Madge loved Her
nan, too. In ber way, and, being Jeal

long silences. Annie was taken down
the street, an elder In front of ber, and
an elder behind her. They pnt ber In
a house, fur away from ber mother,
and gave her a doable portion of work.
Hermann, too, was taken to a cloister,
though he went laughing.
Six months' separation, six month
fasting, prayer, and hard work was re
quired, and If after that ordeal the two
still wished to be married the elder!
would consider the matter.
A week passed, Hermann and Annk
bad sat In their places at the morning
service, and It chanced that they, with
meekly folded hands, emerged from
the two doors of the church at the aame
moment Suddenly each one advanced
to the other, they met, and walked to
gether. The elders were so astounded
that for a moment no one could speak.
There bad never been such an auda
cious breach of the rales. Even the
most venerable members of the com
munity were dnmfounded.
The whistle of an approaching train
awoke them all to action. "Disobedi
ence!" the chief elder cried, and all the
elders hurried down the street to the
railway station. Here they found Her
mann and Annie, Impenitent and defi
ant There was a brief storm of angry
words.
"We give yon bat one year to con
sider," said the long-faced chief elder.
"Ton may never show yonr faces here
again If you come not back within the
year."
"Thou, Hermann, leavest thy aged
father, and thou, Annie, thy mother,'
said another, more kindly.
Annie looked down at her bine calico
gown and her rough shoes. "What
have they done for usT she cried.
They ascended the steps of the car.
"Give them good-byf" called Hermann,
petulantly. "We come back no more."
"All the world loves a lover." aald
Hen Tappan to Mother Schweppe, sad
ly, "but the lover loves no one bnt him
self and his sweetheart"
So Hermann and Annie went to the
city. They were happy, and there seem
ed to be no ghosts at their fireside.
"Father and mother think more of their
carrots than they do of us," they would
say, merrily, when they spoke of
Amana at all.
In May their baby waa born. Ha
was a beautiful child, and Hermann
and Annie never tired of watching hi in.
Hermann could scarcely tear himself
away from baby to attend his patients.
Contagious diseases he refused to treat
Baby might catch them. Annie's face
grew softer as she looked at the child.
For hours they would amuse them
selves watching him clasp a lead pencil
In bis chubby fingers. They cut oft a
lock of his baby hair and saved It In the
Bible.
"Whom does the baby look like, An
nie?" asked Hermann, carelessly, one
day.
"Like yon did when yon were a baby,
I suppose," answered Annie, gayly.
Suddenly a startled look came Into ber
eyes. The thought came to Hermann
at the same moment He dropped on
bis knees before the child. "Did they
think of me aa we think of oar baby?"
he whispered. Annie was sobbing.
"God may yet forgive us," she cried.
"The year la not ended. We may atiU
return."
The good God had not ended Mother
Schweppe's life. Herr Tappan, too,
was still trudging among- his vege
tables, when Hermann and Annie came
back.
"It would have been a year to-morrow,
already," Herr Tappan aald, stol
idly, bnt bis withered Una went trem
bling, and be embraced Hermann and
Annie and blessed them.
And Mother Schweppe paddled back
to her cellar with a sly smile, return
ing full-handed. "I have all this time
since last autumn kept six bottles of
wine for thee, Hermann," abe said.

ORIGIN OF BONBONS.
rmcer Pinnae, Peatmen ana
The most popular and moat ancient of
wnbons are sugar plains, pastilles and
surnt almonds, bat bow many persons
mow their history Sugar pawns date
from Roman times, for the Romans
were the first to think of covering al
monds with layers of sugar. The ln
rentor was a certain Jonas Drags toe.
noted confectioner, who belonged to
the Illustrious patrician family of Fa
Mas. He made this great discovery,
arblch baa wrought so much damage
jo our teeth for twenty centuries. In toe
rear 177 B. C
These bonbons, called dragati, after
dtelr inventor (dragee In French), re
mained the exclusive privilege of the
'anilly of Fablos. Bat at the birth or
the marriage of one of' that family a
treat distribution of dragati took place,
is a sign of rejoicing. This custom la
rUU observed by many of the nobility
f Europe.
The pastille Is of far later origin, hav
ing been Invented and introduced into
Prance by an Italian confectioner, the
Florentine John Pastille, a protege ot
the M edicts. When Maria de Medici
married Henry IV. of France, Pastille
iccoiapanled bla sovereign to the
French court, where bla bonbons bad a
tremendous vogue. Everybody wanted
the Florentine's pastilles, and, strange
to say, they were perfection from the
very beginning. He made them with
all kinds of flavors chocolate, coffee,
rose, violet, mint wine, strawberry,
raspberry, vanilla, heliotrope, earns
Uon! Burnt almonds are purely of French
rlgin, owing their Inception to the glut
tony of a certain French merchant. One
day Marshal Dupleesls-Pralln, an old
gourmet sent for Lassagne, his chief
confectioner, and promised him a great
price for some new sweet that would
please his palate, dolled as It was by all
the pleasures of the table. Lassagne,
who had already Invented many a
toothsome dainty, waa a man of re
source. He searched, he reflected, he
combined, until finally he conceived a
lellclons bonbon, which he baptised glo
riously with the name of his master,
Praline, the French for burnt almond.

Fipanflliis Oar Language.
Some new words have necessarily
been added to the English language
since the introduction of the horseless
carriage, and the vocabularies of other
tongues have also naturally been simil
arly enriched In all countries where
such carriages have become popular.
With few exceptions all these words
are technical, and their true signifi
cance Is only understood by the electri
cian and the machinist The members
sf the Flemish Academy of Anvera re
cently determined to frame a word
which wonld be readily Intelligible to
all who understand the language of
Flanders and who had ever seen a
horseless carriage, and the result was
that after much deep thought they
framed the following word:
S n e 1 p aardeloossonderspoorwegpe
trolrljtulg. This euphonious word signifies "a
carriage which is worked by means of
petroleum, which travels fast which
has no horses, and which Is not run on
rails." This Is, from one point of view,
a fine example of multum In parvo, but
It may be questioned whether one ex
traordinarily long word Is preferable
to half a dozen short words. The
Flemish people, however, think differ
ently, and the academicians of Anvers
have been highly complimented by
them on their linguistic skill as seen In
this unique word. New York Herald.

HOW TO WASH FLANNELS
Dissolve fine shavings of Ivory Soap in boiling water,
and when cool enough to bear your hand in it, immerse
one piece of flannel. Don't rub it with soap, but knead
it with the hands. Don't rinse in plain water or in cold
water, but make a second solution, warm and well blued,
for this purpose. Use a clothes-wringer ; hand-wringing
is insufficient. Dry quickly in a warm place. If left to
stand wet, flannel shrinks.
Cut out these directions and tell the laundress to follow
them with hory Soap. It keeps the flannels very soft.

COMPETITION FOR LABOR.
State of Affaire ta Japan that Bee nit
Odd to us.
The owners of factories In Japax
have a hard time of It Judging by ai
article in the Christian Register. In
dus trial- progress baa been so rapid
especially since the war between japax
and China, that a rather peculiar con
dition of things prevails. The emigra
tion to the cities has not kept pace witt
the demand for labor, and consequent
ly the factories, which have such i
press of work that In the case of thi
cotton and spinning Industries they an
run day and night, cannot find enougt
laborers.
In thla state of affairs the factories
vie with each other to obtain men anc
girls. They send out agents to distant
places to muster a crowd of working
girls and bring them to the towns
Dormitories are built for those wh
come from a distance. But the num
ber of girls and men thus obtained li
not sufficient The Inhabitants of thi
cities most be bribed to work In th
factories. Different attractions are of
fered. Some owners provide tenement
bouses which they let to the workers a
a nominal cent others sell them cheat
rice.
Competition goes farther still. Not
only do the factories bid for ontsldi
help, but they try to lure sway th
workers from rival factories. This hai
led to so much quarreling that oftex
the police are called upon to interfere
Aa s consequence, a union among th
thread factories has been formed, ant
an agreement made that no factor
shall employ man or woman from anj
other factory In the union until be 01
she has for a certain stated period left
the other factory. If an employer doei
thus engage one from another factory,
he la fined.
Yet the stealing of laborers goes on
It has become a necessity for eact
factory to send an Inspector to a the)
factories from time to time, to spy out
the stolen ones. The thief, however, li
often too wary to let bis booty be dis
covered. It Is said that some factories
have skillfully contrived hlding-placei
where the fugitives can conceal them
selves the Instant an Inspector enter
the factory. One of the factories li
said to have gone so far as to feed thi
men who have left other employer!
until the stated time has slapssd.

Some Idea of the Immense extent of
Russian territory may be gleaned from
the enormous railway runs that are
possible there.
In the latest edition of the Conti

times of starting and arrival of a con
tinuous series of railway trains mak
ing up a connected railway journey
which would begin at Calais and
would end at KllutschL the most east
ward station at present open on the
Trans-Siberian Railway, and about
twenty hours' Journey east of Kras
noyarsk, in Central Siberia. The length
f this Journey Is, as nearly as possi
ble, 5,100 miles, and of this distance
some 8,600 miles are traversed In Rus
sian railway carriages. The time occu
pied would be 12 daya and 20 hours. It
is possible to trsvel by rail as far as
Irkutsk, the capital of Eastern Siberia,
which la 000 miles east of Krasnoyarsk,
