that English colonies prefer them to

It seems highly improbable that rice
will ever be regarded as a very Im
portant food staple In the United States
or In many of the countries of Europe,
remarks the New York Sun. The most
significant fact in relation to bread
stuffs In all countries where wheat Is
important either as a product or an
import is the rapid Increase In tho
number of wheat eaters. We are the
greatest maize growing country in thu
world, and we appreciate highly tho
value of maize for human food, but
our consumption oi the grain as a
breadstuff Is insignificant in compari-
son with our consumption of wheat.
It has often been said In recent years
that the opening of every new railroal
in western countries Increases the
number of wheat eaters. The estimate
in 1871 that the wheat eaters of the
world numbered 371,000,000 has steadi
ly increased for later years, and throe
years ago attainable data seemed to
ahow that wheat was the bread staple
of 616,000,000 souls.
This unusually good example of the
retort courteous comes from a German
.source: A distinguished traveler en
tered the railroad restaurant at CasscI,
and waited patiently for his time to
be served. Study of the bill of faro
showed nothing appetizing. The wait
er waa taken into counsel and recom
mended, with enthusiasm, dish after
dish, only to meet a shake of the bead,
and finally the discouraging answer:
"Only that?" Wounded in bla pro
fessional pride the waiter expostulat
ed: "Pardon me, air, but I have served
the beat people here, and they were
satisfied with our bill .of fare; you
should be so, too." The stranger In
his turn answered: "But do you know
who I am and to whom you are talk
ingV "No," said the waiter. "Well,
then, I am the Prince of Bulgaria.
"Only that?" said the waiter prompt
ly. And the anecdote concludes with

THE AUNISTER'S
"Well, now, for my part, Miss Poet,
ns I was telling them two ladles, I
always liked your husband's preach
ing." Mrs. Dale measured out two yards
of hu e nnd counted three dozen pearl
buttons, lartre and small, beforo she
looked up Into tho sweet fnce of tho
pastor's young wife. The rosy cheeks
were palo now and the pretty mouth
was slightly drawn. It seemed Is If
It would not take much to cause Mrs.
Post's blue eyes to fill with tears.
Mrs. Dnle shrewdly guessed as much,
but she Bald nothing, except to wish
her customer a pleasant good morning
as Fhe went away.
Delia Post knew well enough what
to surmlpe from the remarks made by
the portly widow. Somebody must
have been criticising Homer's ser
mons, or Mrs, imle would not have
defended them.
Into llio door of the pretty gabled
cottage which the good people of West
Kud liml provided for their pastor the
young wife went and straight Into the
tiny study where her husband sat nt
liis dink.
"Has something troubled you, De
lia, dear?" he asked kindly, laying
down his pen.
"Nol'ilns much;" but as If to con
tindlct her words phe sat down In an
easy chair nnd commenced to cry. -
"What can il. be?" thought the mln
iftet", an ho vainly tried to soot ho his
w i i'o-
In a few moments tho story enme
out; for Delia Post was very young
indeed only Just 19 and she had not
learned to keep her troubles shut up
within her own heart, rather than nil.l
another burden to tho one who was so
dear to her.
Mr. Post's face cleared.
"Is that all, child? I certainty
thought you had bad news from home.
Of course, everybody does not like my
preaching. How could that be possi
ble? I do my best, and, with tho
Lord's help, I trust that some word
may comfort or cheer a longing lonely
BOlll."
"Yon are so good," replied Delia,
"and Homer, I do not help you at all.
I was never cut out for a preacher's
wife. Do you remember how I
laughed that day at Sister Hathaway's,
when she was telling about her son's
mlrdeeds? Wasn't it awful? And how
she glared at me."
Mrs. Post's tears had quite disap
peared now, and her husband looked
down lovingly at the sunny face.
"Oh, dear, I entirely forgot those
biscuits. They'll bo all burned up." '
With a gay laugh she sprang down
the stairs singing, and the minister
turned again to his work.
"She little knows how much shq
helps me with her sweetness and cheer
inesn," he murmured. "But I must be
more particular about my sermon next
Sunday. I noticed that Brother Mc
pherson spoke coldly to me lost week
and I fear that I do need Sister Dale's
kindly words.
Mr. Tost had married Dolla Harold
about a year before;. She was the
daughter of a wealthy merchant and
entirely without the experience need
ful for a preacher's wife, although she
was a happy Christian and loved her
husband dearly.
"Mr. Post is not a brilliant preach
er," said Brother McPhersonthateven
ing at an informal meeting hold at nis
own house. "He Is sincere and good.
I believe we could get along with blm
if he were alono, but his wife"
There was an expressive pause, and
then Brother White took up the tale.
"Yes, Brother McPhcrson, it's tho wife
that is the trouble. Not that I sne much
amiss In the little girl, myself. She's
Just the age of my Mary, and I doubt
ir I should dare to recommend her
to any one of our young preachers
but all the women are against her."
At Mr. White's remark, Mrs. Mc
Pherson sniffed audibly. ,.
"I don't know as It's more the wom
en than tho men; but I do think that
the way she wears hor hair in that
sort of pug on top, and them curls
around her face, is a shame and dis
grace for a preacher's wife, or at least
for our preacher's wlfa"
There was a general chorus of dis
sent from the women but Mr. Mc
Pberson added, with a sly look at his
wtfo: '
"It's very becoming to her, Mar
garet." To this frivolous statement bis wife
vouchsafed no reply.
As the conversation became general
bits of criticism might be .hoard.
"She has four silk dresses."
"And a hat to match each one."
"And a soalskin cloak."
This last item of attire seemed to
be particularly objectionable and the
talk was waxing warm when Mrs. Har
per, a little palefaced woman who bad
hitherto kept silence, said quietly.
"Airs, post was very good to my
Davie when he was sick. It was she
who was with blm when he"
The poor mother could not say more
and the meeting was most effectually
broken up. However, it was settled
between the men, nearly all of whom
were leading members of the church,
that a change would be desirable.
to una ena a committee was ap
pointed to wait on the pastor a week
later determined to as gently as pos
sible acquaint blm with their decis
ion.
These five gentlemen Mrs. Post ush
red with great graclousness Into the
tiny parlor. Excusing herself to call
ber husband, she gave the visitors time
to look around the room and And still
more cause for tomplalnt against the
minister s wife,
YOUNG WIFE. J
When Mrs. Post came to West En4
she hod found a square parlor with
four low windows, a brilliant scarlet
carpet and several stilt chairs. With
good taste nnd the Judicious use of
a little money she hnd transformed It
A pretty rug, In subdued colors hid
tho objectionable carpet Soft Inex
pensive curtains were at tho window?,
and a few good engravings nnd choice
photographs gave character to . the
white walls.
After a moment's delay the minister
entered, and to the annoyance of all,
after him tripped his wife, who draw
ing a low chnlr nearer to the light,
commenced some embroidery, listen
ing, meanwhile, with deep attention
to the conversation.
It was a discomfited committee
which issued from the low porch an
hour Inter.
"Why didn't you say something?"
asked Brother McPhcrson, Impatiently,
of Brother White.
"How could I. with the minister's
wife sitting there so milling and
cheerful?" returned Mr. White, Justly
Indignant nt the question.
"So good of them to call, wasn't
It. Homer?" said Delia, enthusiastical
ly, as she put. away the precious Vene
tian gla-'-ses In which she hnd pnssed
lenionndo to the guests. "It shows
how fond they are of you.
Mr. Post was loaning on the mnntel
and did not seem to hear tho remark.
Ho knew very well that those flvo men
had not come in to make a friendly
all. There had been something nt the
bottom of It. But if there wns some
thing wrong, why hnd they not men
tioned It?
As the months passed by Mrs. Post
went on hor way with a calm nnd un
disturbed spirit. It never oceured to
her that people did not approve of
her. Everybody hnd loved her at
home.
There was one place where Mrs.
Post's actions were above reproach,
and even strict old Brother McPhcrson
acknowledged that. This was In the
Sunday school, where the minister's
wife was very successful
There were four girls in her class.
One wns Mary White, another was a
young woman from Mrs. Dale's store,
the thltd wus a girl about 13 and tho
fourth, the one person whom fastidi
ous Mrs. Post disliked, although she
tried hard to combat the feeling, was
Katie Mason, tho maid-of-all-work nt
the hotel In the town, the place where
men went Insane and sober and from
which they emerged fiend 8. It was
not because Katie was a working-girl
that Mrs. Post did not liks her not at
all. Delia would have loved any one.
without stopping to think whether they
washed dishes for a living or spent
their time In elegant leisure, If they
were only clean. This unfortunate girl
was not only untidy in her person, but
she was repulsive In her appearance.
Try as she would, Mrs. Post could not
bring herself to touch her. But she
soon leared that the one Joy of Katie's
life was to come to Sunday school and
be near the beautiful lady. The gentle
voice, the well bred manner, tho per
fect toilette, were new to her, and
seemed to lift the minister's wife Into
the sphere of an angel. Each Sunday
Mrs. Post prayed that sho might be
able to say something to help this poor
girl, whose eyes had first seen the light
In a workhouse, and whose miserable
life had been passed In hard labor and
tho lowest surroundings.
Ryan's hotel stood on a corner of the
main street of the village, and its
flickering lights burned all night long,
while from within came the sound of
shuffling cards and clinking glasses.
Katie often worked till midnight, and
was up again at dawn doing the heavi
est drudgery.
One day Mrs. Post came In with her
arms full of the spring blossoms and
turned the parlor into a bower of beau
ty.
"Isn't It lovely?" she exclaimed,
hearing her husband's footstep behind
her.
"Very," ho replied absently. "Delia,
there's a man here who wants you very
much to come down to Ryan's hotel.
There has been an accident, and Katie,
the girl in your Sunday school clots,
has been hurt badly, I Judga."
"She a-going fast," responded the
man, touching his hat awkwardly. He
was the barman at Ryan's. "But," aa
ho said to a crowd of friends later. "I
knows a lady when I sees her, and that
there preacher's wife's one, you bet.
She turned as palo as a rag, and the
minister, he says, 'Now, darling, you
don't need to go. I'll go.' 'Of course
I'll go,' she says, and I says kind of
quiet' like, .'She's a calling for you,
mem.' But you better believe I didn't
toll her bow she was hurt, nor how
she looked. I Just couldn't"
So It was that Delia Post went Into
the presence of the dying girl without
knowing that she had tripped on the
cellar stairs with a lighted lamp In
her hand and that she was burned be
yond recognition.
It was an awful sight that the Inex
perienced girl saw when she entered
the garret where the drudge was per
mitted to sleep. There were good
rooms in the house; but although the
Innkeeper's wife had no wish to be
unkind to the Injured girl, it had not
occurred to ber to have ber carried In
to one of them.
"Oh, Homer," exclaimed the minis
ter's wife, clinging In desperation to
the man's strong arm.
Then there came a moaning cry from
the shspeless figure upon the bed:
"Bring Mrs. Post Ob, bring my
teacher. I love ber so."
Without another moment's hesita
tion Delia went forward anif gathered j
the poor disfigured head In her hands.
She had shrunk from touching Katie's ,
hand before; now she stooped and
kissed the bit of forehead which was
not covered with bandnges.
"I am here, Katie, and I am going
to stay with you," she snld.
In snlto of her hushnnd's protest.
U.-lla remained In that dimly lighted
room all night. The pain which poor
Katie suffered was Indescribable, and
her moans were so piteous that Mrs.
Ryan retired to tho kitchen, whero
sho could not hear them, leaving the
minister's wife alone.
Mr. Post waited down stairs, snd
his brave wife sat by the sick girl's
bedside, holding one bandaged hand
In hers, while she murmured comfort
ing words or sang In a low, sweet
voice. Her husband heard It In the
middle of the night and thanked God
He had given him such a wife.
It wns not until the next evening
that Katie's weary feet slipped over
the brink of time Into eternity. As
her sufferings grew worse, sho clung
more tightly to the soft white hand
and listened to the loving words which
the minister's wife spoke. Mr. Post
hardly recognized Delia In this wom
an whose tender ministries helped the
wounded, stricken, homely girl to die :

In a separate rab to the church, and
one went so far as to present her with

SPIRIT WRITING ON SLATES,
Knur When 'tan Know flow Hern la One
M-ifflrlnn'N Method.
Spiritualistic plate writing. If clev
erly done, always makes n marked,
Impression on a magician's audience,
because It Utterly baffles tholr efforts
to detect tho trick. They see a small
cabinet suspended above the stage by
means of cords or ribbons. It has an
open front and Is empty. The magi
cian turns it around so that every
pnrt of It may be seen and taps It
Inside and out with bis wand to uhow
that It Is hollow.
On a stand near by he has a small
easel, a common school slate, a bottle
of India Ink with a quill pen In It
and a few sheets of ordinary white
writing paper. All these he passes
around among the audience for exam
ination. Then ho fixes a sheet of the
paper to the slate by means of wafers,
places the slate on the easel and the
easel In the cabinet, together with the
bottle of Ink, the latter having tho
pen still In It.
Having allowed the audience to see
the articles thus arranged In tho cab
inet, he throws a Inrge silk handker
chief over It. Mysterious sound: are
Immediately heard, and the cabinet
shakes as If some living thing hnd en
tPred It. When the sounds nnd tho
nhnulnir r-nnau ho t-omoven tho hand-
kerchief, showing an Inscription
written In bold black letters on the
pppor, and the pen not In the Ink I
bottle, but lying on the bottom of the '
cabinet. He then removes the paper'
from tho slate and passes It around
for examination, when the writing Is ;
Immediately recognized as having
been done with India Ink. !
The explanation of tho trick Is slm- j
pie. Tho writing was done In advnnco I
by the performer, the fluid used belm; '
n solution of sulphuric acid of the i
purest quality. To make the solution
B0 drops of the concentrated acid nre
ndded to one ouneo of filtered wafer, j
Writing done with this solution Is In
visible; until exposed to heat; when
so exposed It comes out perfectly
black, looking exactly like dried In
dia ink.
Tho heat Is applied by means of an
electric current running over a wire,
with which tho slate Is wound. The
cords by which the cabinet Is sus
pended conceal copper wires, which
conduct the current to the slate. Black
silk threads, suitably attached, enable
tho performer to make the sounds In
the cabinet, to cause the cabinet to
shako and to Jerk the pen out of tho j
Ink bottle. j
Several sheets of pnper are pre- j
pared In advance, each with a differ
ent Inscription, tho performer telling
one Inserlntion from another by sec-
retly marked pin
pricks. Chicago-

Amusement rr the KtisstHn ftnlttlfr.
How simple are the Russian soldiers
may be Judged from their amusements.
Their only games are of the most
primitive character, like our Aunt Sally.-
Their greatest pleasures are sing
ing, dancing, and playing on the hnr
monlka. a musical Instrument like a
concertina; or on tho ballailalka, a
rational musical instrument some
thing like a banjo, which will keep
them amused for hours. If he can
only play two or three tunes, Ivan
lvanovltch will be able to enjoy him
self rapturously.
Singing, however. Is his greatest
pleasure, and chorus singing is a great
reaturo In the Russian army s accom
plishments. Tho number of songs an
ordinary soldier knows is beyond be
lief. Singing is encouraged by tho
t fhecrs, and the men with tho best
voices are specially rewarded. Among
Illiterate people, tho singer will al
ways bo able to exert a great influence.
Ono has only to see a Russian regi
ment on tho march to understand
what moral power the singers can
give tho soldiers.
Ivan lvanovltch stands greatly In
need of cheap forms of amusement,
for ho Is wretchedly paid. He is tho
wurbt-paid soldier in Europe, and
therefore has a very hard time during
his four yenrs of service, unless his
good folks at homo nro inclined to
be generous. Pearson's.

flow Heamnu ilnek O'Neill Resented so
Insult to rrenlflent McKtnley.
"Jack" O'Neill, able seaman In the
United States nnvv. lute n member of
,hB trPW of , yickstiurg and now on
a naval recruiting detail in the Ma
sonic Temple at Chicago, is nursing a
bruised list and a sprained wrist, says
a Chicago paper. He has no complaint
to make, hut finds satisfaction In
thinking of "the other fellow."
O'Neill looks on the President of the
I'nltetl States with a( respect too deep
to be measured. The President Is
to the seaman the commander-in-chief
of the army and navy, and that is
enough. O'Neill was stnudlng at
Thlrty-flrrt Blreet and Michigan ave
nue on Frldny evening. Ho had Just
beard of tho attempt to assassinate
the President nnd his soul was filled
with wrath. Whllo In this mood a
man stepped up.
"Havo you heard about McKlnley be
ing shot?" the stranger inquired.
"Yes; I just heard tho news u min
ute ago," replied the able seaman.
"Well, he ought to bo shot for
what "
The stranger never finished the sen
tence, for O'Nelll'g fist landed on the
speaker's mouth with a force that sent
him sprawling In the street. As he
scrambled to his feet ho received an
other blow In the face that sent him
down again. Three times the stranger
measured I1I3 length on the ground.
"Don't hit mo again," he crlod. "I'll
apologise; I'll apologize."
"You bet you will apologize," said
O'Neill, "or I'll beat your head off.
Presluent McKlnley Is my superior of
ficer, and no man can Insult him while
I'm around."
A crowd gathered In a moment,
among whom were several who had
witnessed the affair. When they told
others what the tight was about ex
pressions of indignation became so
loud and threatening that the Btranger
mudo a quick escape down an allej
Where Folk Head.
In four counties of western Massa
chusetts no less than 120 public libra
ries are In operation, containing 825,
000 books. The towns where they are
located have a population of 307,000.
One of these libraries was started with
money from a dog tax, and another
was begun with dollar contributions.
Where a special building Is lacking, the
books' ure cared for at the town hall,
engine house, school, or the residence
of some public-spirited citizen. Some
of the librarians give tholr time with
out salary. In several cases the pay Is
from S to $:i0 a year. One librarian
bought a book with her own money,
charged two cents a day for its use un
til the cost was covered, and then put
the book in the public collection. The
will and the way on the library ques
tion have got together In Massachu
setts. Passing of Norway's Forests.
There are now In Norway 383 saw
mills, employing 12,073 people, and 198
pulp mills, employing 7,720 people,
with at least 25,000 other persons en
gaged during the winter season In
rtrlppins the mountains and turning
the forest land Into deliberate wastes.
They take everything. The big trees
go to the sawmills and the little ones
to the pulp factories. It Is estimated
that within the next half century the
timber resources of Norway will be
practically exhausted at' the present
rate of destruction. ,
