Michigan r.voi.oe said tho other day ho know of at 1 :sst a half dozen serious affairs of the heart in progress in as .many choir:- on the South Side. "I believe," ho added, "that if statistics were obtainable on the subject it would bo found that of single people who join church choirs a larger proportion get married within a year than among an equal number of young people that might bo selected anywhere else. A possible exception might bo mado of tho operatic stage. Singing, oven if it is about things celestial, sets the deepest of all earthly emotions going, and tho hearts chord with eacli other just as voices do. "If the singer doesn't discover an affinity in a fellow singer, it is pretty apt to bo found in tho congregation. If a woman has a sweet, voice, a face to match and a figure to go with tho other two attractions, she has tho best possible opportunity for displaying them. The same principle applies to a handsome man. "Sometimes there are sharp rivalries, of course, which result in musical duels between, say, the tenor and the basso, "both of whom are smitten by tho charms of some lady member of the choir. I don't know, however, that there has ever in real life coijie a tragedy out of such a set of c-onoi ,-ms as we are told happened in the of "lovely Anna, •tho soprano,' who 'ail the sinews' hearts inspired.' Tho tenor, you know, went so high that he blew the top uf his head off, and the basso sang so low ho split the soles of both his feet. Anna mourned awhile for both tlie.se fellows— "Tlien

EACH GIRL WORE COURT PLAGTER.

.And So the Youth Couldn't Tell Which Caino Into 11 in ltoom.

The young man who thinks ho is going to come out ahead in any joke in which a girl of ordinary sharpness is involved is sure to find his mistake. It happened some time ago in a certain college that the dormitories of both tho young lady and gentlemen students opened into the same hall.

One evening near midnight one of the girls, who had slipped out of her room to enjoy a secret, chat, with one of the other girls, was hurrying to her room, and in the dark mistook the room, entering tho room of ono of the boys by mistake. He was standing by the gas jet, having just turind out the light, anflwhen she had found tho match which

Of course her wrath knew no bounds, and when she linally reached her room she called an indignation meeting of the other girls and explained what tho horrid fellow had presumed to do. She could never face him again and was not going to chapel in the morning. But then of course ho would know who she was, and she appealed to the girls to help her out of the difficulty. They did.

The next morning when tho girl students tiled past, the boys at devotional exercises in the chapel one wicked youth looked over the top of his testament only to see a procession of 12 girls, each having a long strip of black court plaster I on her left cheek. He has never yet discovered which girl ho bit-.—Indianapolis Sentinel.

fettle rs uu tlie Cherokee Strip in Okla

homa, Which Was Opened for Settle

ment a Year Ago, are iu Want of Food

and Clothing—Congree* Will Be Ap

pealed to For Aid.

BOSTON, Jan. 3.—According to adrices received by the congregational Borne Missionary society, the circle of Buffering in parts of the west is widening. It includes the Cherokee strip in Oklahoma, which was opened for settlement a year ago. The country is emphatically new. The missionaries of the congregational Home Missionary society, iu forwarding special correspondence relating to the situation, Btate that there is special need of clothing. With the thermometer below zero, there were 13 men at a religious service who wore no overcoats and were known uot to owu one. Some of the women were without wraps of any kind. A mother and daughter alternately wore the

same

pair of shoes. Women have

been found barefoot at home, not possessing any kind of an old shoe. One home missionary writes as follows: "I have no means whatever. We have no members who are able to do anything. Out of my limited amount of per quarter, I have divided with two or three of our families to keep them from absolute suffering, but I can't do anything more. I think 'the strip,' which is only a year old, will be in much better condition in another year, as they will raise considerable crops. They will be 'sod crops,' of course, but will help. "A meeting has been held to petition congress for help, but we can't wait for congressional action. It takes every I cent our society can raise to get books, 1 keep up Sabbath schools and provide fuel for our church. The building is new and not yet completed. Tho ladies recently purchased a stove. The blizzard struck us Christmas, since which time some families have suffered simply for want of clothes of any description.

The Home Missionary society has already forwarded clothing for these sufferers, and will gladly be the almoner of the public in so doing.

Expcet a Settlement.

HAVEKIIILL, Mass., Jan. 3.—The outlook in the strike situation is hopeful for a settlement. The action of VV. W. Spaulding in calling Agent Poniroy to a conference is favorably commented upon, and although it can not bo learned just what was said or done, it is generally believed that the big manufacturer has decided to accede to the demands of his employes. In view of this, the manufacturers will undoubtedly follow his example, thereby ending the strike and the disliked contract systein.

THE ISLE OF BOREDOM.

Aa you **il through life take pains and steer Away from the island that lies too near— The Isle of Boredom, which all men fear.

The Island sot? tip like a shelf of rock, But woe to tho .sailor who lands at the dock And offers the peoplo a chance to talk.

For they talk all night, and they talk all day, And try as you will to get away They pin you down, and they make you stay.

They talk of things they have done and said They talk you awake, and they talk you to bod, Till you almost wish they would talk you dead.

And the queerest thing and tho one to deplore About- the dwellers upon that shore— Not one of them knows that he is a bore.

So steer away from that island shelf That is governed, thoy sav, by a wicked elf, Lest you be a bore and not know it yourself. —Ella Wheeler Wilcox in Youth's Companion.

THE LOST NECKLACE.

"I was returning from Paris, where I had been to purchaso a diamond neck-

"Taking tho glass from my hand, sho poured a little of the liquor into it and barely touched it to her lips. *v

my companion in tho compartment a very lovely young woman and a little poodle dog that she addressed as Chico. It seomed to me that somewhere, and not very long ago, I had met my fair companion before. "I sat for some time vainly trying to recall tho circumstances of our meeting, but the more I pondered on it tho more helpless seemed the task. "A littlo later on, looking up, I found that my companion was without book or paper. So, taking an illustrated magazine from my satchel, I offered it to her. She thanked mo and smiled sweetly. After a time I grew tired of my novel and resolved to attempt- a little conversation with my neighbor. I asked her if she was going to Nice. Sho replied that sho was and went on to say that her sister, whom sho had expected would go with her, had disappointed her at the last moment. She, however, could not wait until the following day, as her father, who was at. Nice for his health, had wired her to return at once. "Sho spoko of her dislike for traveling that, as tho compartment reserved for ladies was full, she had been obliged to enter mine. She was sorry to intrude, but the train was about to start, and the guard had told her all tho other seats wero taken. "I hastened to assuro her that I was glad of the lucky chance that had given mo so charming a companion. Sho smiled and askod mo if I was to bo long at Nice. She chatted on about the place, mentioning the names of many well known people, who, sho said, wero her friends and whom I should no doubt meet. "As tho evening wore on sho opened a basket containing a dainty lunch, 'Would I share it with her?' The cook evidently had a ridiculous idea of her appetite. Why, there was enough for six!' This seemed to be the case. So, as wo were by this time very well acquaintcd, I accepted her iiivitatiuii, and we were HO I doing justice to a really ex- I cellent lunch. 'What a charming creature sho is!' I thought. 'How Edith will like heri' Growing confidential, I spoko of my visit to Nice and of the dear girl who was awaiting me there. Sho seemed interested and listened patiently to tho recital of my fair one's many charms. 'You will meet her and can see for yourself if all I say of her is not true!' I exclaimed. 'Shi will be very grateful to you for having mado this stupid journey pleasant for me.' "'We will drink her health!' cried my companion gayly, drawing a small silver flask of exquisite workmanship from tho depths of her basket. 'I always carry a little cognac with me in case of sickness,' she explained. Opening the flask and filling a dainty glass With the amber liquid, sho handed it to me, with a radiant smile. 'To Edith's health,' she said. "I drained tho glass. It was brandy of the finest quality I had ever tasted. She seemed to read my thoughts. 'You aro a judge of good liquor. That is Otard of

'You must not judge my good wishes by the amount I take. I wish you all the happiness that life can give, but I cannot drink as you men do. To mo it is simply a medicine.' "Soon after this I began to grow sleepy, and as my companion did nc.t seem inclined to talk I mado myself as comfortablo as circumstances permit. I turned my head toward tho window, through which the surrounding country could bo seen dimly in the moonlight, as wo rushed along, and resigned myself to a night of comfort. Tho next thing it was broad daylight. I awoko with a dull pain in my head and a senso of weariness that my sleep had rather increased than diminished. "My companion was sitting by the window reading the book I had given her tho night before. On perceiving that I was awako she put down her book and remarked that I was a sound sleeper and that she envied me. She had passed a wretched night and was glad that Ave would soon bo in. Nice. I thought of Edith, whom I should now see so soon, and then of tho surprise I had in store for her. "I hoped that tho necklace would please hor, and then, for the first time, it occurred to me that perhaps it would have been better if I had consulted some woman of taste before buying it. A brilliant idea struck me—my companion was just tho one to decide. I would ask her opinion. It was not too late to change tho necklace for something else if sho thought it not suitable. I was suro sho would tell mo candidly just what sho thought. "Unbuttoning my coat, I drew tho package from my pocket and laid it on my lajj. Removing the wrappings, I opened the little blue casket. For a moment I could not believe my eyes—it was empty! "I turned quickly to my companion. Sho was leaning forward motionless, breathless, her faeo pale and in her eyes

a look that I shall never forget. One hand was passed convulsively over her heart. She had removed her gloves, worn tho night before, and 011 one finger blazed a diamond—the one I had seen the previous day at the jeweler's. In an instant I saw it all. I sprang forward and grasped her wrist—roughly, I am afraid. 'Give 1110 back that necklace, you thief!' I cried. 'I know you. You stood by my side yesterday in the jeweler's shop on tho Avenue de l'Opera. I remember that ring and your voice. You heard me say that I was going to Nico by this train. The liquor you gavo 1110 Was drugged, and you thought to escape before your theft was discovered. It was a very clever scheme, but it has failed. Give me the necklace, or I shall turn you over to the police.' "I stretched out mv hand, thinking that, seeing tho folly of further concealment and the uselessness of denial, she would return the stolen property. I was wrong. She drew herself up haugh-

When she spoke, it was in a voice that showed no trace of the sweetness which had at first attracted me. 'You have brought a serious charge against me,' she said, "and one of which I am innocent. I am alone and a woman,' this with a momentary tremor in her voice that somehow made me ashamed of the way I had spoken to her. 'If, as you say, you have lost a necklace, your only reason for accusing me of having stolen it is that we have been tho only occupants of this compartment. The instant you opened the box and found it empty I saw the position I was placed in. Fortunately, however, I can prove my innocence.' 'Perhaps you may hesitate beforo again attempting to blackmail an unprotected woman. As soon as we arrive at Nice I shall insist on going at once to the police station, where a thorough search of my baggage and person shall bo made. I shall then ask you to prove that you ever had a necklace.' This remark was accompanied by a smile that was not pleasant to see. 'Until wo reach Nice you will not address me again.' "Sho leaned back in her seat and turned her face toward the window. I felt rather than saw that she was crying. "I began to feel uncomfortable. What if, after all, I had been too ready to jump at conclusions and had been mistaken? Was it not possible that the box might have been empty when I received it from the jeweler's? I had not seen the necklace after it was left to bo repaired, as the box was wrapped up when I called for it. My companion had insisted on an investigation that might prove her innocence—an investigation that a guilty woman would never liavo proposed. Besides this she had expressed a doubt- as to the existence of the necklace and had accused me of an attempt to blackmail. Tho more I thought of it the more unpleasant my I position became. "Suddenly my eyes fell on something bright on the floor of the carriage. I stooped and picked it up. It proved to be the little heart shaped padlock I had noticed the night before on the poodle's collar. Like a flash a thought came to I me. Hero might be the solution of the problem. At any rate, I would put it to the test. No time should lie lost, as we were just entering the station, and in a moment more tho guard would open tho I carriage door. "Keaching .across the seat with a I quick morton, I drew tiio sleeping animal to my side. The woman sprang forward to prevent me, but sho was too I late. I had already torn tho collar from tho dog's neck and was holding it to the light that entered dimly through tho windows from tho station. "I breathed a sigh of relief. The inside of the collar contained a hollow groove, and in this groove, securely fastened, lay the missing necklace. I turned triumphantly to my companion. The door was open. She was gone. "That morning as I entered Edith's parlor the little poodle trotted contentedly by my side, and instead of tho collar he wore the necklace. As for the woman, I never saw her again."—Kate

Field's Washington.

Tilt dialing Dish Two Thousand Years Old.

Women who first prized their chafing dishes for their convenience are now feeling an added pleasure in using a utensil that has a history at least of 2,000 years. They refer to what Seneca I said of them and quote* Soyer's descripwould

thoso used by tho ancient Greeks

and Romans. Tho dish is also referred to by Cicero and is supposed to be the "authopsa," a kind of saucepan of Corinthian brass of considerable value and mado with such art that its contents cooked instantly and with little fire. This simple and ingenious vessel possessed a double bottom, the uppermost ono holding the light delicacies destined for tho dessert, and tho lire was underneath. Another author says: "Not only did the chafing dish adorn tho tables at royal banquets and contribute to tho gastronomic enjoyments of tho rich, but it was in high favor then, as now, among tho representatives of tho histrionic art. Pliny relatos that the tragic actor, JEsopus, had a dish worth 1,000 sesterces." The chafing dish was known in America as early as 1720, at about which time it is recorded that a wealthy father, wishing to give his daughter "a truly elegant wedding outlit," ordered for her from England, among other things, "six small brass chafing dishes, 4 shillings apiece."

French Veterans Diminishing.

Before very long it is expected that the Hotel des Invalidcs, the gilt dome of which forms such a conspicuous landmark in Paris, will have ceased to exist, at all events as what may bo called the home of the French Chelsea pensioners. By degrees the number of pensioners lodged there has diminished until they are a mere handful. It seems that old soldiers do not care to continue to live in barracks after their retirement, but that they prefer a pension outside, bo it ever so small.—Paris Journal.
