FAITHFULNESS. ————_

"Do today thy nearest duty." And throughout thy lifelong way Thou shalt find no greater beauty

Than the well done task each day. Small thy work may be, and lowly, Hidden from the public gaze, Faith and works may mako it holy,

Reaping sheaves of golden days. Then If thou art prone to ponder On thy lot, and fain would ask Why 'tis so, once more remember

How was given to us life's task. Recall the words a Saviour brings From Olive's mount to each one's soul. That "if faithful o'er a few things,

Over many thou shalt rule." —Good Housekeeping.

Girl Detectives In Stores.'

The men who act as store detectives in this city enjoy to the full extent a credit which should rightfully bo divided. Many of the clever captures of shoplifters in great uptown emporiums are due to the women. These seldom figure in an arrest, however, for two reasons: first, it would tend to destroy their influences, and second, they might have to go to a police court, which is not pleasant for any woman.

When a female detective encounters a Ijght fingered woman at a countor she shadows her until able to inform the male detective, who takes her in hand. 'It may seem a strange business for a woTO&n to bo in," said the superintendent of one Of these houses in response to an inquiry, "but it's a great deal better than most of the occupations in which girls make a meager living. It's a limited field, to bo sure, but they frequently get married and drop out in that way, leaving room for new aspirants." "Where do you get your now girl detectives?" he was asked. "Right from behind the counters there. That's where they nearly all graduate. You -aae, wo get to know our saleswomen pretty •well, and whon one of them evinces extraordinary intelligence or alertness wo cultivate her, so that when a vacancy occurs in tho detective force wo are able to offer her the place. Of course we pay her more money as •aa inducement." "Do they ovor refuse?" "Very seldom. Girls who are made of the stuff for a successful detective aro never possessed of very keen sensibilities, and they have naturally gained a pretty thorough knowledgo of tho ways of women when shopping by observation behind tho counter. And this is something we can't get if wo engage outsiders."—New York Star.

.'Answored the "Wrong A*U

Great Is tho advantage of advertising! P. S. Eustis, the general passenger agent of the Burlington road, advertised recently in Tho Hprald for a bright offico boy. Ho was very much surprised to receive, among a cord or two of other responses, one from a widow, who wrote as follows:

DEAR SIR—I saw your ad. and concluded to write you. No doubt you will receive many answers, and you will perhaps throw this aside, as it is 'written on very common

?aper,

and it—but let mo tell you right here, am not answering this in hopes of getting your money I thought perhaps wo might care for eacli other. I ain a widow, and poor, but I would not have you if I didn't care for you if you wero made of gold. Mouev is not everything, you know. I would like very much to see you, and am visiting a sister at No. if you think you would like to call on mo you will find me homo at 8 o'clock any afternoon this week. Ask for Mrs.

As Mr. Eustis wanted an office boy and not a widow, ho turned tho letter over to one of his bachclor stenographers. The lady doubtless got mixed in her dates when she answered an office boy want.—Chicago Herald.

A Orammarinn.

Tho famous schoolmaster, tho friend of Erasmus and Sir Thomas More, "William Lily, tho grammarian, was born at Oldham, England, in 146o. Ho was educated at Oxford and traveled in tho east to obtain a knowledge of the Greek language. On his return to England he set up a private school and was tho first teacher of Greek in tho English metropolis. When Dean Colet founded St. Paul's school in 1512 ho appointed Lily the first master. In tho following year ho produced his grammar, which has passed through more editions than any similar work, and is used to this day in St. Paul's school. The English rudiments,'.were written by Colet, tho preface to tho first edition by Cardinal Wolsey, the Latin syntax chiefly by Erasmus and the remainder by Lily, tho book being thus tho joint production of four of the greatest scholars of tho ago. Lily was master of St. Paul's for nearly twelve years and diod of tho plague on February 24,1523.— Philadelphia Times,

Famous Touch Picces.

It is recorded that Queen Anue, who reigned from 1702-1712, was tho last sovereign of England who really performed tho ceremony of "touching for healing." One of tho small gold coins so used by her had upon ono side figures of St. Michael and tho dragon, and upon tho other a ship. Upon another coin thero was upon ono side a hand descending from a cloud towards four heads, with *'Ho touched them" traced around tho margin, and upon tho other side a roso and thistle, •with "And they wero healed," in delicate tracery.

Dr. Johnson was among the persons "touched" by Queen Anno in 1712 ha was then a littlo over 2 years old, but could recall late in life "a confused and solemn recollection of a grand lady in diamonds and wearing a long black hood." Some of these "touch pieces" of Queen Anne's reign may bo seen in tho British museum.—Harper's Bazar.

Japaneso Life. •-&•*»<•••

Tho following picture of Japanese life by Professor Morse shows how pleasant may bo tho relation between tho human and-tho bruto creation: "Birds build their nests in the city houses, wild fowl, geeso and ducks alight, in tho public parks, wild deer trot about tho streot and ho had actually been followed by wild deer in tho streets, nibbling melon rind out of his hand, as tamo as calves and lambs on our Michigan farms. A dog goes to sleep in tho busiest streets men turn usido so as not to disturb him. One day a beautiful heron alighted on tho limb of a tree and tho busy, jostling throng stopped. Everyman's hand went into his pocket, just as they would with us but, instead of bringing out a 'popper,'^outeamo pencil and sketch paper.''—Boston Budget.

LITTLE COSTA RICA.

SOMETHING ABOUT A CENTRAL AMERICAN REPUBLIC.

Never Known—Working People Poor and

Lazy, but Honest.

The accouuts in Tho Globe-Democrat of a disastrous volcanic eruption in Costa Rica, by which the city of San Jose suffered great loss of life and property, has served to divert considerable public thought in that direction. Bringing up the subject without warning, it •is not every one who can tell much, if anything, about that country. Without reading up a little, it is doubtful if many even know that Costa Rica is the smallest republic on tho American side of the world. It is located in what is called Central America, and comes next south of Nicaragua. The fact that the Nicaraguan canal will follow tho dividing line between tho two countries for some thirty miles is interesting in this connection. Inn geographical way Costa Rica is part of a narrow bit of isthmus, not ovor a hundred miles across from tho Pacific ocean to the Caribbean sea, where widest, and sixty-five miles in the narrowest. The main range of the Andes traverses tho entire territory at a general elevation of from fivo thousand to six thousand feet. On tho Pacific side of the range aro many beautiful valleys, that of San Jose being especially so.

THE COUNTRY AND PEOPLE.

The ground about tho city, that is, the capital of the republic, rises in gentle undulations to tho east to a series of volcanic peaks, ono of which, called Raza. is responsible for the lato terrible disaster. The last calamity was the destruction of Cartago, about forty years ago, the same mountain taking an active part also in that event. Costa Rica's official head is Don Bernardo De Soto, 36 years of age. He was called to tho of Fernandez,

and loco was elected to continue as the chief executive for four years. Groat improvements have been made in his administration, a sound financial basis established and a union of the five Central American republics brought about.

San Jose's population was placed by tho last estimate at 30,000, and that of the republic at about 200,000. The wholo country outside of the mountains abounds in luxuri-

Sixty days are given shippers to pay freight bills, and jieoplo who aro known can get tickets to bo paid for ia the future. Between tho mountain towns away from tho railroads goods aro carried by ox teams, of which there aro many hundreds.

Tho drivers and cartmen aro apparently totally indifferent to every sonso but that of an overwhelming desiro to rest.

CHURCH RITES.

The Elaborate Ceremonies of the llusilan Hurlal Service.

witness of the

Russian burial service, in the church, over the remains of a Russian native, the widow of an American trader who died several years ago at Sitka. A mass began in the women's chapel, in the north transept, at tea o'clock in the morning, in tho presence of about forty Russians and natives, mostly women. The responses of the mass were made by a choir, composed oi two venerable old men, standing at the right of the chapel, facing the altai screen, and a group of children, some Russian and others Sitkan Indians. Those participating in these prelimi* nary mortuary services either knelt on the matting or prostrated themselves with their faces resting on the floor. The mass was intoned by thfl priest in Slavonic, and the responses by the choir in the same tongue, while the worshippers silently and constantly showed their participation by almost continuously crossing themselves on the breast and face with the right hand, frequently using the left in connection with the right for that purpose.

The intonation of the mass seemed more like a wail or a refrain than any thing else to which I can liken it. The Indian women were clad with brightlyoolored shawls and gaudy blankets, and wore black scarfs over their heads instead of hats, hoods, or bonnets. This service lasted an hour, when the priest made an address of about ten minutes in Russian respecting the deceased, after which the Bacred wafer
