ME~] By Mary Rily Smith. Sometime, when all life’s lessons have been learned, And sun and stars forevermore have set, The things which our weak judgments here have spumed, The things o’er which we grieved with lashes wet, Will flash before us, out of life’s dark night, As stars shine most in deeper tints of blue; And we shall see how all God’s plans are right, And how what seem reproof was love most true. And we shall see how, while we frown and sigh, God’s plans go on as best for you and me; How, when we called, He heeded not our cry, Because His wisdom to the end could see. And evei? as wise parents disallow Too much of sweet to craving babyhood, So God, perhaps, is keeping from us now Life’s sweetest things, because it seemeth good. And if, sometimes, commingled with life’s wine, We find the wormwood and repel and shrink, Be sure a wiser hand than yours or mine Pours out this portion for our lips to drink. And if some friend we love is lying low, Where human kisses cannot reach his face, Oh, do not blame the loving Father so, But wear your sorrow with obedient grace! And you shall shortly know that lengthened breath Is not the sweetest gift God sends His friend, And that, sometimes, the sable pall of death Conceals the fairest boon His love can send. If we could push ajar the gates of life, And stand within, and all God’s working see, We could interpret all this doubt and strife, And for each mystery could find a key! But not to-day. Then be content, poor heart I God’s plans, like lilies, pure and white unfold. We must not tear the close-shut leaves apart— Time will reveal the calyxes of gold. And if, through patient toil, we reach the land Where tired feet, with sandals loosed, may rest, When we shall clearly see and understand, I think we shall say, "God knows the best 1”

Long Prayers and New Disease.

A. Capuchin monk in Detroit has incurred a serious disease of the knee from continued kneeling at prayer. The case is an aggravated one, and It la feared it will' be necessary to amputate the leg. The sufferer is Father Paschal, an inmate of the Capuchin monastery on Mount Elliot avenue. In America at least this peculiar disease Of occupation is almost unknown. Few people know anything of the disease or its remedies. Father Paschal has spent many hours regularly each day during his long life upon his knees. In Italy this attitude of devotion, continued for

TRAVELING MENDER NEAR NAPLES,

Pots and pans in any country need to be mended at some time, as they will wear out, no matter how careful the housewife is, and bo they give work to the traveling mender. Here we have a picture of such a workman in southern Italy. He takes his whale ■hop along as he goes from one fishing Tillage to another. He gets in the shadow of some large boat, sets up his bellows and then goes to work. The news that he has arrived soon spreads through the small towns and the housewives are not long in taking to him their tin and copper ware to be mended. He sometimes has work for a week in a village, as fie is very slow and tinkers with great care. The work must be done well for the fisherfolk, ■0 it will last until he returns. The tinkering man is always interesting to the children and to the women of .flbe village, as he is the gossip who

This fact is recognized among Italian artists, who rarely employ Italian models in painting the lower limbs. In painting pictures it is customary to employ Italian women as models for the face and French models for the lower limbs.

A REMARKABLE LAD.

A •*<• Story of Thomas Chatterton, the Famous Boy Foot. Here is the sad story of a remarkable boy who was a famous poet at the time he was 16 years old, and who died of disappointment when he was 18. He was Thomas Chatterton, born at Bristol, England, in 1752. Few now probably know much about him, but 130 years ago nearly all England was talking about him, and even to this day those #ho study hie work agree that he was a most wonderful youth. But for all that, the boy was buried in a pauper’s grave chiefly because he was

•o you* that even hl* friend* Memat to think there was something Mtmajiny about him. Perhaps it wu because Thomas Chatterton never played quits fair with those who read hl* work that they refused to give him his due. Chatterton was born in poverty and spent his short life in poverty, but amid it all his genius could not be smothered. When 8 years old he was placed in a charity school. When 11 he was a contributor to the papers and began to deceive the public with his productions. Learned men were amazed to read poems written in unmistakable antique style, alleged to have been discovered among old records and manuscripts at Bristol. No one doubted that these were work* of 200 years before, and they were treasured as such. Later when It was discovered that a boy of 16 had written them, there was general amazement. When he was 18 Chatterton went to London, and aside from many avowed writings, he wrote numerous poems in the fifteenth century style that deceived all who read them. Many papers accepted these, but refused to pay the young poet more than a few cents for them. Thomas Chatterton was in the lowest depths of poverty. He refused to ask for aid, and in 1770, three months after he had gone to London, he locked himself in his attic room, drank poison and died. He was buried as a pauper, and now the encyclopaedias devote many columns to this boy, who is recognized a* one of the most remarkable poets England has ever had. —Chicago Record.

CANDLELIGHT IN VOGUE.

Ecclesiastic Sticks Are Modernized Uy Eashion to Sult the Home. The Jack who can jump over th* new art candlestick must be a lightfooted and sinewy person, for brass, bronze, and silver candlesticks, measuring from three to seven feet in height, are no longer counted among the rare and expensive furnishings for the handsome drawing and dining rooms. The great ecclesiastical candelabrum gave the ambitious house decorator his first inspiration for this, and so potent is the law of fashion now governing the house beautiful that candle light is esteemed far above the clearer and more powerful gas, oil, or electric light illumination. This is, of course, where the candle and candlestick makers score heavily and profitably, and to meet the demand for wax, paraffin, and tallow tapers, and for brass, crystal, bronze, silver, and copper sticks, their skill and ingenuity is taxed with the richest results. In the shops where antiques are sold there is hardly a pretense any longer maintained of keeping in stock genuine metal sticks that have been rest from cathedrals, synagogues, or medieval houses. That supply is exhausted, but the modern imitator of classic forms lives nobly up to his task of supplying the active need for these warea A beautiful pair of hand-beat-en brass or copper sticks from the studio of a reputable modern metalworker fetch as high a price as a genuine antique, and just now there is no small amount of enthusiasm demonstrated over single, massive square sticks, for the adornment of newel posts, wrought by one American artist. A fine specimen he has recently completed for. a seaside villa shows the rising sun and an ancient caravel in high relief on one of its sides; and this handsome column, fitted to a black oak newel post, holds a tallow taper as big as a man’s wrist and three feet tall. For the same house he wrought ifi silver a pair of mantel shelf sticks in the Aubrey Beardsley style. Two tall and slender girls, in close, clinging draperies of silver, let fall about their narrow ivory faces straight, mermaid locks, also of silver. The streaming tresses float outward, turn up at the ends, and In those ends sockets for candles are set. —Chicago Journal.

Testing a Fast Trolley.

In Philadelphia a fast trolley car is being tested. It takes newspapers in the early morning to Chestnut Hill, fourteen and three-quarters miles away. It runs at the rate of thirty-five miles an hour, including a stop at least every three-quarters of a mile. Occasionally it has run a mile in a minute and an eighth and it has made the entire distance in twentyfive minutes, including stops, which is the same time as the express trains make for the same distance. It maintains it* schedule time regularly, but on one occasion it was late ten minutes, owing to the wreck of a hay wagon which was on the road.

Concerts for Telephone Girls,

In Fort Worth, Tex., telephone girls certainly are appreciated. Sunday is a light day with them, and while the force in the exchange is small, yet the h'"”' B would pass dull, were it not for the moughtfulness of a business man who in his home has a large phonograph. He calls up central, places the horn of the phonograph next to his transmitter and tells central to let the other girls cut in. For an hour or more in the weary afternoon he runs off record after record. It entertains the operators, and at the same time affords enjoyment to this man’s guests of whom there usually are many on Sunday afternoons.—New York Press.

Telling the Speed of a Train.

When traveling on a railway you can tell how fast the train is going by the following method: The telegraph posts klong a,railway line are placed thirty to the mile. So if you multiply the number of posts passed in a mfau|o by two the result gives you the number of miles per hour at which the train Is going.

The Passing of Senator Platt

For so long a time was Thomas Collier Platt a power without Influential opposition In the counsels of his party In New York city and state that for many years past he has been accepted by all save a few Independents, as

SENATOR THOMAS C. PLATT. (“Dethroned Leader” of the Republican Party in New York.)

the leader of the party during the remainder of his natural life. The independents have once or twice started a revolt against his dominance, but without other result than to draw upon themselves still larger measures of his scorn and hatred. They have been constant in bitter censure of him and have held him up to ridicule as one of small intellect and narrow intelligence, performing political antics before the country and high heaven. But all this censure and this ridicule has been uniformly—until now—drowned in the louder chorus of adulation by the faithful. As a budding politician ft was in his favor that his home was in Oswego —in that part of New York state where Roscoe Conkling needed a trusty friend and ally. He was elected in 1872 and re-elected in 1874 to congress. Mr. Conkling was then serving his first term in the senate. In Washington the two men formed an- alliance, offensive and defensive, according to the secret terms of which they were to endeavor to control the federal patronage. All things went smoothly with them till about 1879, when their enemies made an attempt to take control of the republican state convention and set up a new order of proceeding.

Charlotte M. Yonge IS Dead.

Charlotte M. Yonge, the noted novelist, died last week, aged 78. Her death took place at Elderfield, Otterbourne, her home in Winchester, in which she spent almost all of her life. Her first success in letters, which immediately established her reputation, was ‘“The Heir of Redclyffe.” Miss Yonge’s life was quite uneventful. She was the daughter of a country the doctrines of what is caled the highmagistrate of Hampshire and her education was conducted altogether by her parents, her father being her principal tutor. She was a most religious woman and all of her works—which are principally in fictional form —were

written to enforce, by the lesson of the plot, and in a plain and sober manner, the doctrines of what is called the high church school of opinion. Many of her books have gone through several editions and have been reprinted in cheap forms.

It was said that out of the pjroflts she received from the publication of her “Daisy Chain” she gave SIO,OOO for the establishment of a missionary college at Auckland, New Zealand. She likewise devoted a large portion of the proceeds of “The Heir of Redclyffe” to fitting out the missionary schooner, Southern Cross, for the use of Bishop Selwyn. One of her most interesting books is a “History of Christian Names and Their Derivation,” which was published in 1863.

Pan-Slavism.

Lagowski, the provincial official who recently attempted to shoot M. Pobiedonostseff, procurator general of the holy synod of the Russian church, says ■he wished to avenge the excommunication of Count Tolstoi. Whether the would-be assassin tells the truth or not, such attempts as his may be expected whenever the Russian public mind is in any way disturbed. For Pobiedonostseff is the embodiment of Russian conservatism on the religious side and his policy has made him one of the most feared men in Russia. M. Pobiedonostseff is a learned lawyer and was one of the late czar’s tutors. He is pious, according to the primitive idea of Christianity, and in personal habits is an ascetic? His tastes led him into the ecclesiastical administration of the late czar made him virtually the executive head of the Christian church in Russia. Since the time of Peter the Great the government of the Russian orthodox church has been practically vested in a commission, on which the procurator rep-

Mr. Platt was a delegate In that convention, In which it was for a day undecided on which side the majority was, but so skillful was his management that he brought the majority over to him and was himself made the chairman of the convention. Conkling was indorsed, the organization perpetuated in his and Platt’s hands, and the next winter the legislature reelected Conkling to the senate. In 1881 Platt’s election to the senate was dictated by his friend and partner in politics. But then arose the quarrel between them and President Garfield over the patronage, and, being worsted in that quarrel, they both resigned from the senate. The partnership between the two men ended when they failed in their endeavors at Albany to be returned to the seats they had haughtily vacated. Mr. Conkling thenceforward eschewed politics, but Mr. Platt continued to play the game. In 1897 he had himself elected to the United States senate. Since- that time he has been a terror and a burden to Mr. McKinley and his administration. And now the supposed impossible has suddenly come to pass. Mr. Platt is defied at both Washington and Albany, and the whole country resounds

with the announcement that the rule of “Boss” Platt is ended.

resents the czar. The church in Russia as in England, is part of the state in a sense difficult for Americans to realize, and the spiritual power even more than the secular is committed to the Pan-Slavic idea. We are apt to think of Pan-Slavism as merely a political movement —as an attempt to bring under Russian rule the Slavic lands outside the empire. Really it is a great deal more. It is a revolt against the attempt to graft foreign forms of civilization upon Russia. It is summed up in Aksakoff’s famous words: “It is time to go home!” What Aksakoff meant was ■that it was time for the Slavs to £ive up trying to imitate foreign ideas, go back to the point from which Peter the Great started, and develop a civilization strictly and purely Russian. Of course this does not involve the discarding of foreign inventions in war and industry, but it does mean their adaptation to Russian ways, and not the changing of Russian social ideas to fit the foreign model. To accomplish this dream of Slavic unity it was necessary to repress religious dissent, and to this work Pobiedonostseff has devoted himself. Beginning with the exiling of Pashkoff in 1882 for holding Bible meetings among the fashionable people of St. Petersburg, he proceeded, as his power grew, to repression of dissenters of all kinds. To the southern European and American mind Pobiedonostseff appears a Torquemada, whose work may prove destructive to Russia. Then again it may prove Russia’s greatest aid in dominating the affairs of the eastern hemisphere.

Sanitary Folding Bed.

The ordinary folding bed has proved itself so great an attraction to the bedbugs that it is with difficulty they can be kept out of it, largely because in this class of beds there are hiding places which easily escape notice, where the bugs can dwell in safety and from which they can sally forth at night in search of prey. This has al-

ways been a good argument in favor of the ordinary enameled and brass beds as supplanters o f th? old wooden kind, and it will apply equally as well to the metallic folding bed illus-

trated in the cut. The bed differs slightly from the enameled and brass beds now in use, the improvement being in the manner of connecting the side rails at the head and foot and in the-joints at the center of the sides, which allow the bed to be closed into small compass. When it is desired to shut the bed up the center is lifted at either side to a sufficient height to break the joints, when the head and foot are grasped in the hands and drawn together, as shown. When the foot has been drawn up to the head the curtain is drawn around on the overhead rod and the bed Is hidden from view To open It again the foot section is pulled out a short distance, after the curtain has been drawn, and the weight of ths sides and mattress will force It into its normal position.

Jonh’s Cue Is Doomed.

▲etordlng to a resident of Chinatown the statesmen of the flowery kingdom are now considering the advisability of altering the Chineee law which requires Mongolians to wear cues, says the Portland Telegram. The local informant is authority for the statement that the Chinese wore their hair American fashion some 300 years ago, at which time they likewise wore garments similar to those in use In this country today. With a new emperor came an alteration in the two fashions and ever since cues and blouses have been quite the proper thing. Now there it a great agitation for a change back to the old style. The Chinese are of a practical turn of mind and insist that too much time is required to dress their long braids. There is considerable objection to the style now in vogue, and so persistent for a change has become the demand that it is likely the law establishing the style of head dress will be altered. It is stated that the Chinese will not wear their hair long, but that their heads will be kept shaven. Only indefinite rumors of the proposed change have been received from the old country, but local Chinese express the belief that the present unpopular style will be abolished.

INDIAN MISSIONARY’S STORY.

Years of Toilsome Ministry Among the Choctaws. Little York, Ind., April 1. —(Special). —Twenty-five years ago the Rev. C. H. Thompson left Indiana. For a time he preached in Arkansas, afterwards entering on the regular missionary work among the Choctaw Indians. For five years he lived and labored among the full bloods of the western prairies, until on April sth, 1885, having lost his wife, he left the circuit on which he had preached so long, and commenced traveling missionary work among the Indians of the various tribes scattered in the west. This Irregular work involved a great deal of travel over the prairies. The drinking of so much alkali water, brought on kidney troubles which terminated in Diabetes. Finally, while laboring among the Creek Indians at Wagoner, Indian Territory, this noble man was stricken down completely. A Chicago specialist was summoned, and after a careful examination declared that there was not the slightest chance of his recovery. Besides the prescriptions of the doctors he tried many other medicines, but all to no avail. He says: “I had concluded that my days were drawing to a close, when I picked up an almanac telling of the cures of Diabetes by the use of Dodd’s Kidney Pills. I sent for two boxes. I gained strength and spirits from the time I commenced to use them, and so I sent for more. I am now completely cured, and have not the slightest symptom of my old trouble. "I am 68 years of age. I tell everybody of the wonders Dodd’s Kidney Pills have done for me. I can certainly endorse them heartily, and vouch that they are all that is claimed for them. They have certainly been a God-send to me.” Dodd’s Kidney Pills are the only Remedy that has ever cureß Bright’s Disease, Diabetes or Dropsy and they never fail.

AMONG THE RAIL

Book Island Win Bsa Cheap _ to Colorado. ~~— The Chicago, Rock Island A Pacific i railway, which made a phenomenal success of cheap excursion rates to Colorado last season, has again asked its competitors In the Western and Southwestern Passenger associations to agree upon a series of cheap excursions to and from Denver, Colorado Springs, and Pueblo, for the approaching season, on the following basis: Tickets to be sold from Chicago and all territory up to Missouri river, June 18, 25, July 16, 23 and 30, Aug. 6, 13, 20 and 27, at rate of one fare plus $2, or $31.50 for the round trip. \ On July 2 and 9 and Sept. 3 and 10 a rate of $25 is to be made from Chicago, and sls from Missouri river points for the round trip. Intermediate territory will have proportionate rates. Tickets are to be sold from Missouri river points one day later than the dates given above in each case. Proportionate rates will be made to and from Glenwood Springs, Salt Lake City and Ogden. A series of east-bound excursions is also proposed, tickets to be sold from Colorado common points every Thursday, commencing with June 20 up to and including Sept. 12, at a rate of one fare plus $2 for the round trip. All tickets will be limited for return passage to Oct. 31. These rates will be tendered connecting lines for basing purposes, which will probably insure a very low basis of rates throughout the United States for these excursions. The Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific will unquestionably make these rates and arrangements effective, regardless of the action of its competitors, and will run special trains, only one night out to and from Colorado, on the dates named. —Chicago Inter Ocean.

Home-Seekers’ Excursions.

On the first and third Tuesdays of each month the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul Railway will sell round-tnp excursion tickets from Chicago.
