    IN OUR DAILY PATH.
Roy not, "Were I that man, or thi3,
1 would create a world of bliss
For gome one. I would upward lift
The saddest heart, and bring a gift
And lay it down at weary feet.
Oh, I would live to make life sweet
To suoii us in their sharp distress
Have said, "Life is ail bitterness."
Whato'er we are, whato'er our place,
God's gifts to us—His gifts of graoe—
We may with all the suffering share,
Till faoes smile with answered prayer.
Our very presence virtuo liath
For those who daily cross our path.
If eyes are kind and hearts are true,
We can all blessed, good things do.
We need not reach out hands afar,
But drop our blessings where we are.

Office buildings ami stores were
pouring streams of life into the
crowded streets. It was six o'clock at
evening. At a corner where a human
tiue swept like a torrent from a broken
dam a woman stood under a lamp
post She was tall am# dark, and so
lnotioniess that she might have been a
statue. Her arms were folded under
her cloak. A policeman edging his
way through the crowd, touched his
tap (for she was neatly dressed), and
«sked her a question. She shook her
head slowly, and did not look at him.
The policeman passed on, and the next
moment there were two quick pistol
ahots, a scream and a stampede. The
officer ran back, lighting his way
through the swirling crowd. He
found the woman, pistol in hand,bend
ing over a man lying upon the pave
ment. The officer seized her wrist,
and looking at him with a strange
smile, as she relaxed her hold on the
pistol, she said:
"I am a woman, and I demand to be
treated as such."
When she had been taken to the
station and asked to make a state
ment, she said: "My name is Laura
Hoytt. The name of the man I shot
is Douglass Brown. I shot him be
cause he ought to be killed. He was
engaged to marry my sister. He did
not keei> faith with her, and she died
of a broken heart. He is a brute,and
ought to be de:id."
Brown was taken to the hospital.
His wounds were pronounced danger
ous. An effort was made to interview
him. But all he would say was,"l
guess she thought she had a right to
shoot me." He asked if they had put
her in jail, and appeared to lie pleased
when told that influential friends had
giveu bonds for her release.
Three weeks later the wounded man
was sitting propped up in bed, when
a card bearing the name of Laura
Hoytt was handed to him. He looked
hard at it, rubbed his eyes, held it
further away, then closer, and then
remarked, "I don't understand why
Bhe should want to see me. Let her
come in."
With a timid, awe-struck air the
woman approached the bed. She
coughed in embarrassment as she
seated herself on a chair which the
nurse placed for her. She put back
her hair, made aimless motions in her
confusion, and then, looking straight
at Brown, said:
"I'm awfully sorry I shot you."
Brown smiled. "And are you sure
you haven't come to shoot me again?"
he asked.
She frowned in reproof. "You know
I haven't. If you had thought that,
you would have told them to keep me
out."
"No, I wouldn't. You have come
BO far out here that I couldn't have
found the heart to disappoint you."
"A plaster of sarcasm won't draw
out a soreness, Mr. Brown. I have
Buffered so with remorse that I have
corn-j to see if I could not find some
sort of consolation. You don't know
bow I have suffered. And I must go
through a hateful trial, too, with
everybody looking at me. Oh, I do
wish I hadn't shot you!"
"Yes," he drawled, "I rather wish
80 myself. So, you see, we have
aomething in common. But you
needn't be worried over the trial.
I shall not appear against you."
The nurse had withdrawn. They
were alone. She put back her hail-
Again, and he followed the movement
»112 her graceful band—the hand
had shot liim. "No, I will not ap
pear," he went on."lt is something
of a distinction to be shot by the hand
somest woman in Chicago." He hesi
tated as he saw the tears gathering in
her eyes. "I take it all back," he
jiaid. She wiped her eyes, and sat
looking far away through a window.
The mystery that lies in the cloud
land was reflected in her eyes, and he
fazed at her. She turned her eyes
upon him, and the mystery flew from
them.
"Yes, I am sorry I shot you," she
«aid; "but I hate you, and can never
forgive you."
"Ah! and I am therefore consoled
•>y the thought that you never can
forget me."
"Brute!" she said. "I almost wish
I had killed you."
'When a woman almost wishes a
thing, she wishes it doubly," he
replied.
"I don't know but there is some
truth in that," she assented. "But
what a beast you were to treat Helen
■o. How could you?"
"Because I was a beast, I suppose. 1 '
"Yes, you were. She was taken
down with fever shortly afterward,bu
it was a broken heart that killed her.''
Her eyes shot shafts of hatred ht him,
"But I didn't come to reproach you,"
•he said.
"Then why did you come?" he
asked.
"To ask why you could have been
so heartless, I simply waut to know.
Was it because 3'ou had no heart at
all?"
"It was because I had too much
hen t?"
She darted a fierce look at him.
"Ah! it was because you loved anothei
woman?"
•''Yes. Helen made me promise tc
tell her if—if I should love any one
better than I did her. It was not my
fault if another woman set my soul
aiire, when Helen had only warmed
my heart. God knows I fought againsl
it with all my strength,all iny philoso
phy. But at last I had to tell her,
and I left it with her whether or nol
I should keep my promise of mar
riage. Then she drove me from her
presence."
"Ah! And then you went to the
other woman and told her of youi
love, and she spurned you."
"No, I did not tell her. Indeed, 1
was determined that she should not
know."
She looked at him searchingly.
"You killed my sister, but you are
more of a man than I thought."
He smiled sadly. "A man is always
more or less of a man than a woman
thinks."
"If you hold so poor an opinion of
women, I don't see how vou could
love one."
"I don't see, either."
"Fool!" she said.
"Yes; I'm a man."
She smiled at him, and then after o
silence she said:
"Do you intend to tell the woman
of your love?'
"No."
"If you do, and she loves you, I
will shoot you again."
"That's consoling."
"Then let it console you. But
really I am sorry for you—for your
weakness. You ought to have had
more strength than to let that other
woman —and I know she is a fright
win your .love, .you ought to have
known that she was playing with
you "
"Reason addresses the brain, but it
cannot reach the heart. I told you
that I fought—"
"Yes, I know." And after a long
silence she said: "I wish you would
tell me the name of that woman."
"Laura Hoytt."
She sprang to her feet with a cry,
and a nurse ran into the room. She
found the visitor on her knees by the
bedside. "Leave us," the man said,
and the nurse withdrew. He put his
hand on her head, and she sobbed
under his touch. "And that was the
reason I could not keep faith with
her," he said. "You set my soul on
fire,and in the flames I could see your
smile." She caught his hand, and it j
was wet with tears. "And for that
love I was willing to die," he said,
unable now to see her,kueeliug beside
him, but feeling the warm tears upon
his hand.
"Oh, don't —don't say that!" she
sobbed. "In my despair I hated you
because I loved you so."
PROPITIATINC THE DEMONS. •
Strange Chinese Ceremonial on a Junk in
San Franeiseo Kay.
Many Celestials gathered recently at
Oceanic wharf to see the high priest.
Whan Ti, and his attendant acolytes,
embark on the junk Fung-Hi.
At 1 o'clock the joss, Kwong Goon,
was brought onto the wharf in a hack,
accompanied by Whan Ti and eight
attendants, all in full canonicals. Plat
ter after platter of sweetmeats and
delicacies dear to the Mongolian palate
followed the joss along the wharf, to
the incessant squealing of a reed in
strument, played by one of the joss's
attendants.
Following the sweetmeats came
beaiers carrying huge plates, on which
were varions roast pigs, ducks and
sundry vegetables. The ducks were
the strangest items of the collection.
They were placed on the dishes in all
attitudes some as if attempting to fly,
and others resting in a dignified man
ner on one leg.
At last, however, the procession was
in order, and a move was made toward
the junk, the joss in the lead. When
the end of the wharf was reached, at
a signal from Whan Ti, the idol was
lifted onto the junk and placed
against the mast, on which it leaned
with a wabble in its legs suggestive of
locomotor ataxia after three years of a
sitting posture. Punk sticks were at
once lighted and placed at the feet of
the joss, and the roasts and dessert
were then—very carefully this time
carried on board. Enormous bundles
of prayer papers completed the junk's
cargo, and, after a large table had
been fixed up as an altar and a few
prayers had been said, the high priest
ordered the ropes to be cast off and
-the Fung Hi floated out iuto the bay.
The vessel was gaudily decorated with
lanterns, tinsel and colored cloth, and
appeared to be worthy of the honor of
carrying such a dreadful divinity as
Kwong Goon.
The junk sailed out for about a
quarter of a mile, and then the priests
began casting their bread on the
waters, believing that it would be
swallowed by the evil spirits, of whom
Kwong Goon is king, and so deter
them from eating up all the flesh.
Fowls, ducks, pigs and rice were
thrown to these demons amid a deaf
ening din of cymbals and drums, and
the wondering Chinese on the wharf
did obeisance to their deity which was
out on the water. At 4 o'clock the
junk returned, and the priests and
their altar servants repaired to the
joss house on Pine street, where they
conducted the closing services of the
Kwong Goon festival, Avliich will be
celebrated again three years hence.—
San Francisco Chronicle.
A specimen of German architectural
and business solidity is afforded by
the fact that in Nuremburg there are
houses still in good order which were
erected in 1080, and that in the same
town a firm has been engaged in man

No Pink Tea* for Her.
A Norton county (Kansas) paper, in
speaking of Miss Kate Johnson, the
county treasurer-elect, says: "She is
good looking, jolly, well fixed finan
cially, full of business, likes com
pany, but couldn't be dragged into a
pink tea with a four-horse team."
Owns Two Hundred Teapot*.
A woman in Chicago owns 200 tea
pots. Among curious pieces in the
collection is a double Japaneso teapot
with two spouts, which is always used
at wedding festivities in that country
by the bride and groom. Then there
is the pale blue, daintily figured com
bination teapot of two parts and two
handles. The upper part has a sieve
like arrangement for the leaves, and
the lower contains the cheering con
coction.
A Woman a 9 Consular Agent.
Little work and no salary was in
volved in Miss Emma Hart's tenure
of office as consular agent of the United
States at Edmunston, New Bruns
wick, during the two weeks' leave of
absence granted to the regular ageut,
Mr. Guy. But as Secretary Sherman
appointed Miss Hart in mid-Novem
ber, and as it is unUsual for a woman
to act as a representative of our gov
ernment abroad, the case is an inter
esting precedent to be recorded.
New Oreupation for Women.
A new occupation for women is that
known as •'music teacher's assistant."
This is a young woman who superin
tends the daily piano practice of the
children of a family. Where expen
sive music masters are employed their
work is frequently retarded by the
careless practising of their pupils. To
be 011 hand every day during the time
spent at the piano by the young peo
ple of the family is the duty of the
ussistant; and her careful supervision
of practice hours undoubtedly con
tributes to the successful teaching of
the master.
Health and Hair Hremliiß.
The style and inrtueuce of hair
dressing is a topic of importance to
the fair sex. Every health reformer
is bound to express gratification that
the days of the chignon and of hair
pads are past. The present Grecian
style of dressing the hair, in which
pads are dispensed with and the hair
is gathered into a simple coil behind,
is a return to a classic and healthy
fashion. There may be objections 011
the score of taste —itself a variable
condition—to the "boy's," or short
cropped hair, as a feminine style; but
where health considerations intervene
there should be 110 objection to the
adoption of this latter mode, especially
for girls. Many diseases of the hair
are clearly traceable to the reign of
the chignon. It is only to be re
gretted that what is rational ill the
modern headdress does not extend to
the chest and to the feet. But our
fair readers should know that singe
ing the hair is of not the slightest use
as a measure for hair stimulation

A Woman'* Club of Indian Squaw*.
The Maine Federation of Women's
Clubs has admitted to membership a
club of squaws, which will hold sales
and give entertainments to raise money
for charity, just as the clubs of white
women do.
This latest development of the
woman's club movement is the Wa
ba-na-ki club of Indian Island. Its
membership is limited exclusively to
the squaws of the Tarratine tribe,
which occupies the government re
servation on Indian Island ou the
Penobscot, opposite Old Town.
The idea of the club originated with
Mrs. Helen Coffin Beedy, author of
"Mothers of Maine." Some months
ago she became interested in the peo
ple of Indian Island, and, being an
enthusiastic club woman, proposed to
the squaws of the island that they
form a woman's club. The proposi
tion was well received, and within a
few weeks au organization was ef
fected. The club name comes from
the tribal title of that branch of the
Maine Indian tribe to which the Tar
ratine tribe belongs.—New York Jour
nal.
Home Mintage for Beauty.
You may use massage for obesity,
for rheumatism, for weariness aud for
wrinkles. For all these ills to which
femininity is heir it is excellent.
Massage of the body should always
foUow and never precede a hot bath.
After bathing aud being vaporized,
the flesh is much more supple and
flexible.
Massage consists in rubbing, knead
ing and pounding with the fingers all
the fleshy parts of the body. A mas
sage treatment is, therefore, difficult
to manage if one has no maid, but it
can be done by the use a long-handled
rubber brush. The movements must
be gentle aud the treatment not very
long.
In massage of the face, if the skin
is sensitive, redness is apt to follow.
The fingers should be dipped in olive
oil to prevent the chafing of the skin.
The faoe should be very lightly pinched
and kueaded. The movement must
always be iu an upward direction. On
tlis face, neck and chin the tips of the
fingers should be used, and used very
gently, but not the whole hand.
If one takes massage for obesity the
rest after it should be brief. If it is
for weariness or rheumatism, a nap
may very beneficially follow. —New
York Journal.
Treatment for a Red Noae.
Nothing is a greater blemish to the
face of a woman than a red nose. This
irritating condition may arise from
various causes, one of the chief being
indigestion. A habit of bolting the
foo-i is very ofteu the cause of the in
digestion which shows itself thus.
Sufferers from red noses arising from
indigestion should be most careful in
their diet, avoiding heating foods and
hot drinks. The food should be taken
slowly and each mouthful be well mas
ticated. Sometimes a red nose is due
to dryness of the nasal duct or delicacy
of the capillary organs. The inflam
mation may then be treated as follows:
Prepare a wash containing 154 grains
of powdered borax, one teaspoon of
eau de cologne and five ounces of soft
water. First dissolve the borax in
the water and then add the cau de
Cologne. When the nose burns damp
it with this lotion and let it dry on.
If, when dry, it still burns, repeat the
treatment. Another mixture for the
same trouble may be made as follows:
Dissolve iiO grains of borax in one
ounce of rose water and orange water
in equal parts. Wet the nose with
this* lotion about three times a day,
letting it dry on.
When the redness of the nose arises
from a kind of congestion it should be
washed iu warm water only ou going
to bed.
A cold in the head will often pro
duce a red and inflamed condition of
the nose. A little cold cream should
then be applied to the sore parts. The
following is au easily prepared and
safe recipe for cold cream: (let half a
pound of the very best lard, put it in
a basin, pour 011 it boiling water, and
when cold drain it of!'. Repeat this
process three times; then after quite
freeing the lard from water beat it to a
creaui with a fork and scent it with es
sence of bergaiuot.
The nostrils should never be touched
with the lingers. To wash them, a
little hot water should be sniffed up
and then ejected.—Chicago Record.
Fashion Note*.
Rose pink velvet turbans are much
seen at the theatre.
The tiniest of tiny monograms are
iu vogue on smart stationery.
Salted peanuts are stro«g rivals of
the salted almonds at women's lunch
eons.
Black velvet capes, trimmed with
chinchilla, are much worn by the
younger women.
The neck scarfs of sable, with many
heads, tails and claws, are affected by
the tailor made girl.
Hugenot caps are added to the tops
of many of the short, full, puffed
sleeves of evening bodices.
It is a great mistake to put too
much handsome trimming on a hat. A
little of a better quality produces a
better effect.
Many of the demi-traiued dress
skirts are cut with nine gores; and at
the back some are box pleated and
others fau pleated.
The tiny empire fans are just the
nicest sort of a gift for a debutante
friend, whose ball attire is the delight
of her frivolous little heart.
One cannot use too many ostrich
feathers this season. If the hat be
comes overloaded they can stray into
the neck ruche or on a cape or muff.
The dolman style of wrap is likely
to have a rather unwelcome reception.
It is so difficult to move one's arms
when wearing a garment of this sort
that it would be small wonder if sen
sible women refusod to accept the
fashion.
There is nothing more becoming to
the average woman than a hat of dark
velvet. When loosely laid over the
frame and caught down with brilliant
pins or jewels and fiuished with a lit
tle very rich trimming, it is the ideal
headgear.
Peplutna, which are added to Rus
sian blouses, jacket bodices, surplice
waists and similar garments, are shaped
in various ways. Some are crenelated,
others cut in oval talis or sharp Van
dykes, and also iu circular form, with
or without pleats at the back.
Theatre wraps are elegant and elab
orate in the extreme. They are im
mensely large and full, and as pro
fusely trimmed as the most extrava
gant ball costume. Velvet, plush and
brocade are the favorite materials.and
fur, lace and ruchings the approved
garniture.
The shoulder capo wrap still con
tinues in style, and probably has se
cured a place that will make it diffi
cult to supplant it. It is comfortable,
easily put on and very stylish. Such
wraps are becoming to almost every
woman, even the stoutest being able
to wear them if properly modified anil
shaped to the figure.

Whicli Way Doon the Current Go?
An extended discussion has been
going on in the German technical
press as to whether or not a lightning
| rod during a thunder storm is coutin
-1 uously acting to equalize the electrifi
cation of the clouds and that of the
earth. Some assert that the function
of the lightning rod is to offer a good
conducting path to the earth for a
lightning Hash, while others claim that
it offers a constant medium between
I the air and earth. Among the facts
adduced by the adherents of the latter
theory was an instance which occurred
during the construction of a lightning
rod for a chimney 100 fe«t high, when
the uncompleted work was interrupted
by a thunder shower. A temporary
wire was, therefore, run to a neigh
boring pond, so as to ground the rod,
when it was noticed that considerable
gas was formed on the surface of the
submerged wire, indicating that a cur
rent produced by the silent discharge
of the clouds was passing and decom
posing the water by electrolysis.
Another experiment was quoted, in
which a plate lightning arrester, with
a galvauo-meter in circuit, was con
nected in circuit with a lightning rod,
when an almost constant defection of
the galvanometer needle was observed,
showing that a coutiuued equalization
of electric discharges does take place.

I In the gravel pit belonging to the

this road has been uncovered. It was
laid on hard clay aud was covered by
a thick vein of gravel. Prof. Carl

examined. He gives it as his opinion
that the wood has been wbe*fi it was
