Cunningham O 6*o*o*o*o*o*oo*o*o*o*o*o*o Mrs. Johnson, coming unexpectedly Into the dining room, where the new girl was laying the cloth for dinner, looked at her with a sudden inteutness. '"Haven't you been crying, Johan na?" she asked kindly, i "Ach, it iss not much." the woman said, a refractory tear starting down her cheek; "It iss that America so strange iss- and the city—l the cows miss—and the garden aud making the butter—yes." And her exceedingly blond skin turned red with the effort she made to keep the tears from com ing in torrents. Mrs. Johnson's eyes looked medita tive while she tried to think what form of comfort to offer. "I'm sorry you are homesick; it's an awful feeling; but cheer up," she said sympathetically. "I'll give the cook money for theater tickets, and you can both go to see that spectacular thing they say is so wonderful." Johanna smiled gratefully. "You so very good Iss," she said as she went : toward the kitchen. In the midst of his dinner Mr. John son thought of something and com menced laughing. "I had a most unusual order today from a customer down south. He or "T'M JOHN Bmnra," IIU HAIU dercd i whole Jisi of things, then waxed with 'one wife for a widower of thirty-five.'" Mrs. Johnson's eyes were wide with unbelief. "C'luuiyy Johnson, you cer tainly are joking! The man couldn't ipave' been so foolish as to be In ear nest?" "It wasn't for himself; it was for a country customer—a young widower with a dairy farm on his hands that has been going to rack and i.uiu sittoe his wife died " Mis. Johnson was evidently struck \vitfi an inspiration. "Oh, Charley, how would Johanna she suggested enthusiastically, "I she >vc|Ulo you like it?" he asked, his voice almost a whisper. "It is so much home." she gasped in her halting English, "even the cows that in the farmyard stand." He led her Into the house and paused before a sweet, clean room whose mus lin curtains blew In and out the open windows. "This is your room," he said simply. "Mine is across the hall, where I can hear if you get afraid and call me." His honest sunburned face was full of kindness, aud although her compre hension of English was limited, she caught a glimpse of his soul in a lan guage that is universal. "Take off your hat, little woman. I hear old Jenny putting supper on the table." He looked at the pale gold of her hair where her hat had pressed it tightly against her moist forehead, and he hesitatingly touched It with his hand and freed It from her temples. "I hope you'll feel homelike aud will grow to love the farm—aud maybe some time—me," he added timidly. "I like it all—and you," she answered softly. Tlair to ( tinnier. "Ladles and gentlemen," said the lec turer after bowing to the first round of applause that followed his introduc tion. "I propose thli» evening to address you oa the all Important subject of 'the training and rearing of boys.' It Is a broad subject that is demanding more and more attention every day. In the beginning, and in order to lay a broad foundation for the proper treatment of this great subject, I will"— "Excuse me. professor," lntwirupted the harassed little man who was almost hidden away in the corner, "but how many boys have you?" "Weil, er, um—well, the fact is, sir. I have no children at all," stammered the lecturer. "That's all light, then," said the little man. sinking back into his seat "I was nfeered'you had a few of 'em, an' if you had I knowed it was a cinch you didn't know nothin' about raisin' 'em. You kin go ahead and I'll listen, 'cause I'm lookin' for expert advice on the subject." But somehow or other the lecturer thought best to change tfco subject. flnva Dalit tbc Mniiaion Ifonae.

Many years ago an ingenious plan was adopted by tho gravid duke to rid Florence of beggar*, tt was proclalm- every beggar who would ap pear In the grand plaza at a certain mentioned time would bo provldetf with a new suit of clothes by the duke free of cost. At the appointed time the beggars of the city all assembled, and the. grand duke, causing all tho avenues to tho scjuare tq he closed, compelled the V&Hfiar* to strip off their old Clothes and gave each one, according to promise, a new suit.

STAG LEGENDS. Ancient Storlea of the Animal'* An tipathy to Snnlcea. There is no beast In the world to which moro legendary virtues are at tributed than the stag, partly owing to tho tale of St. Hubert, partly to a supposed antipathy of stags toward serpents, partly to a peculiar mass of gristle in the shape of a cross which Is found In the animal's heart. A whole book might be written on the miraculous power of the heart and the efficacy of different parts of him against the troubles of this evil world. Fouilloux. In the sixteenth century, gives a long list, aud Master Itobert Topsel fills page upon page with them, but our author In his solid English fashion Is chary of accepting such stories. Men say, he admits, that when a stag Is right old ho beateth a serpent with his foot ttll she be wroth, and then eateth her. and then goeth to drink, and then runneth hither and thither till the water and venom bo meddled together, aud maketh him cast all Ills evil humors that he had In his body, and maketh his flesh come all anew.

"Speaking of gambling," a mission ary said, "I know of a sect that re gards it as a religious duty, like faat ing or prayer. This sect Is the Hindoos. They one day In each year gamble like mad from sunrise till sunset. The day is the festival of the lamps, a day sacred to I.akshuu, the goddess of wealth. A tremendous lot of money changes hands In Lakshun's honor. All this gambling is done to test the finan cial success that will attend on each person throughout the year. If a gam bler loses he knows a year of hard luck Is ahead of him. If he wins he knows lie may expect a twelvemonth of prosperity. Strange to say, a good deal of cheating accompanies this re ligious gambling." And InalKht. "What happens when peoplo fall In lave at first sight?"
