She saw nothing to hinder her accepting the invitation, and the two went over to Richard's. - When they arrived at Mr. Pittman's they found Mrs Grt-ssand Mrs. Kuhn there, but did not think anything of it, until more neighbors began to arrive with baskets filled with good things to eat.

Osn Who Was There. Ladies' Literary Club. The following lu a clipping from the "Indian Witness" published in Allahabad, India, where Miss Alice Wishart, of Wells Tannery, Is sta tioned as missionary. While the lead ing po'ints In the clipping are Intended for the elevation of society In India, it is equally applicable to mothers in every land. Editor. , A meeting of the Indian La dies' Art and Literary Club was held at 6, South Road, on the loth of February, at which Ltdy Stan ley and several other ladies, who are interested and in full sympa thy with this progressive move ment, were present. At the business meeting it was suggested that the prizes to' be awarded at the coming exhibition of work done by Club members take the form of the lotus flower which was chosen as the emblem of the Club. The business meeting was fol lowed by a debate on "The Edu cation of India's Daughters" and tho grace, dignity, self-possession, and sweet delivery of the Indian ladies who participated, called forth the admiration and hearty congratulations of the Eng hsh ladies present. " The debate was well sustained by Ihe leaders, the President and the Hon. Secretary, the latter, to gether with her supporters, speaking against the motion. The proposer and her support ers maintained that If the mothers are not educat ed the men of that nation can nev er achieve their highest attain ment since it has been proved true that no nation rises higher than its mothers. That a woman is not rightly educated who does not know how to intelligently care for her hus band and family. That India's daughters, as well as her sons, have God-given souls and intellects and therefore they have an equal right to opportuni ty for culture and development. Miss Wishart, in summing up the debate, said that it hpd rjeen proved true that true education makes women healthier, happier and more useful in the world be cause it qualifies them" for the duties and privileges devolving upon them as wives and mothers. At the close of the meeting, Lady Stanley, by request of the members, was asked by the Pres ident to become a patroness of the Club, which her Ladyship in fitting words graciously accept ed. Several of tho English ladies present also gave in their names much to the delight of the 32 In dian ladies who constitute the Club's active membership. " Mrs.-Banner ji, wife of the Hon Mr. Justice Promoda Charan Banner ji, is also a patroness. of the Club, and her daughter-in- law a member of the Literary Uominittee. The sweet singing proved that musical talent is not lacking in the daughters of India and added to the pleasure of the occasion. We wish the' Club every sue cess. McConnellsburff Normal.

Four months ago a young wo man living in Allentown placed a longnecked oil can on the c hair of a girl ft land. ' She did ft t r a joke. The young won an tat down on it, receiving a severo wound in the hip. She said little about it and seemed to recover, But later on blood poisoning set in and she is dead. She never re vealed the name of the friend who played the practical joke. The latter ls'probably suffering quite as much as If she bad been haled before the criminal court Tliis case is another illustration of the great harm that may follow the perpetrition of a practical joke.
