Wil l ie Jackson, the Infant member, of COTUUD* Tent of tbe K. O. T . M,, is un­doubtedly the possessor of the least avoirdupois, than any other member id the state of Michigan. B e la four feet s ix inchce high and tips the scales at 76 pouacia and ia 18 years old. H e was initiated last week, and although the goat bad been especially groomed for the occas ion , i t found, before half through wi th the work, that i t had DO snap. T h e gr i t of the candidate-bad never been exceeded by that o | 3 u i y previous applicant.

On Mondav e v e o i a g e delegation from Corunna Tent visited the Owoaso Sir Knights , and Sir Knight JaHisos a e o n , panted them. Arr iv ing at the outer door, of too tent, ho was obliged to jump n o a foot o r more t o reach the wicket , to communieaie re* "open seaaaamV' the guard looked down with eotpictoa but w h o bad tb* tsJlamasic word the door was opened. T h e amane-ment in­s ide the tear was greater only because there was more to be astonished. The work was suspended until the comman­der was assured that the v is i tor was rightly In the tent, when i t was resum­ed with much enthusiasm.

After the banquet Sir Knight Jackson was called upon for a speech, and re­sponded with a few pointed, remarks with his usual modesty, at the close of which he was loudly applauded. Sir Knight Jackson was the center of at­traction and will hereafter be the mas­cot of Corunna Tent .

Will ie I* one of the moat popular, and best known boys in tee c i ty , and h i s connection with the Corunn* Tent ,1» something that the Corunna Maccabees are very proud of.

j HER SHATTERED IDOL j

RE X MJSKEDITH w a s looking into, t i e young , upturned face w i th an

expression half of pi ty , half of amuse­ment . In ai l M s life—his xeckles^ hap­py , dare-devil life—he had s een noth ing l ike this creature beside h im; noth ing hal f so fresh, s^ innocentaml beautiful.

She was a rose, w i th the morning dew y e t bathing i ts waxen petals; a cluster of ripe fruit, w i th t h e soft color , - e t ly ing , a dusty tint, upon i t ; a tender, beautiful, l iv ing thing, a lmost a divin-

- -ity i n innocence and purity. Her dress w a s a brown stuff, w i t h

never a ruffle to relieve it. She wore a white , turned-over collar'and a gold cross to fasten ft; her hair, w i th a l l i t s thousand crinkling, shining waves , was combed back from her face and tied with a blue ribbon, after the fash* ion of the Scotch snood, and le f t to. wander a t wil l over the gracefully sloped shoulder*, and look where, yon would there was no sign of art or fash­ion, only her beauty, freshness and y o u t h to designate her from the two grandmothers w h o wereher guardians,

"So you were never in love ?"* Queried worldly-minded B e x . Meredith, looking down at her with those cruelly beautiful eyes of h i s and scanning every l ine of her sunny face.

**In love? Yes, all my life, with my t w o grandmas. Grandma Vent nor, she Is my father's mother, and has planned to keep the farm In order ever since I can remember—and all f o r me, mind yon. Grandma Thornton, iny mother's mother, has made the butter, and kept the house* and taught me t o work and be content. If ever any girl was blessed, who had no parents to love and care for her, i t is myself; and I lore my t w o grandmas better than any­t h i n g else in the world,"

"Setter than yet*, 'w'iil ever love any­th ing else?** he queried, in his per­suasive voice, and with his large, soft eyes "fixed pleadingly on hers. ,.,

She was not ruffled yet , even with al l these powers which in his l i fe had so seldom failed him, but with a steady

'r'l'gaze/'iO>>kedi«p~!ntw'uis-facef^ithrt.he:

calm, passionless eyes of a little child. "I hope so, for if I loved anyone else

better, I think m y grandmas would turn away and grieve themselves to death."

"But y o u might like somebody a lit­tle," pleaded this worldly tempter, nt,-wil l ing to" go away and leave this hu­man flower to waste its rare fragrance in the narrow garden of these old w o m ­en's hearts . "You might like m e a little—just a very Utile—for, like your­self, I am alone; aye, more alone ihan yourself, for I have no grandmas to love me.** '" . ' • ' ' '.• <•..:.

She laughed, and then grew full of • p i t y , . , . " . • • , • ; ' ••>•:.,:•:

**l do like you—very, very much; but I think you cannot need grandmas as H o . "

He bent over her, and while the clear, soft, trust ing eyes were lifted t o his face, he drew nearer ar.d nearer, un­til he left * kiaf upon the white fore­head.

A great flood of crimson shot over her face—a blush that colored the round cheeks, the dimpled chin, the soft, round throat, and hid itaelf be­neath the high brown dress; but she could not hide the gladness in her eyes . A kiss l ike this meant tenderness and love to her, and who would not be loved by a man like Bex Meredith, the handsomest fellow she, in all her s imple life, had ever s e e s ?

"Ton o u g h t not—* she began, but he checked her.

"Don't say that, Elite. I mean n o harm to you. No, rather, I mean—"

He did not end the sentence, for some one called Ell lo just then from the farmhouse—a soft, sweet voice, whose bidding ElJie never disobeyed; and she turned and gave him a good-by from her eyes , and w a s gone.

*1 had better go , and never come back here," said Bex, leaning for a m o m e n t over t h e gate , and looking wistful ly a t the farmhouse and Its Ut­i l e paradise of tree*, shrubs and blos­soming vines, "She would m a k e h e r way i n t o my heart, and, once t h e r e -wen, the world Is too old a story t^> me. I could never find anything t o remove her, and I should lose my place and degenerate. Tb« wises t thing I can 9 o m t o g o a w a y a i t d fbsget '"

8 o i t would have been, but h e did n o t g o away. Through all t*ne sof t , haxy summer h e lingered in t h e T O - ! lag*, Bear the cot tage of t h j s imple i

grantlmothers and their l i t t le charge , Km** dreaming idly away the honrs a m o n g the sweet-scented shrubs and flowers and drinking in the beauty and fragrance of that one human flower—• the brightest, meat beautiful of them all.

B e was wri t ing a poem when an in­spiration seized him, and in his heart he knew he should succeed.

Succeed! Aye, why not? A year a g o h e had held the world captive wi th the magic of h is slender pen—a year ago he had woven wreaths of poetry, when his life was laden with tobacco, wine, gay music, false, fair women* and the hurried heat and recklessness of the great, noisy, laughing, mocking world.

Now the beauty and romance of an Italian summer clothed thv earth, the peace and ho lmes* of Eden prevailed, and a life fresh and untarnished from the Creator's hand* lay within h i s reach, to be molded, fashioned a s he w o u l d . ,

So he lingered, never daring, ye t al­w a y s hoping to find the courage to. make her\ qui te h is own.

A letter brought him to h i s senses . What i t contained Ellie never knew, b u t i t took him away.

l i e came early o n e Kutumn morning, when she was roaming among the flow­ers, and mourning wi th real regret over her delicate favorites^-came t o tel l her tha t he must say good-by.

"Yon wil) n o t quite forget m e ? " he asked.

Forget h im! Oh, tender l itt le heart ! w h y had he come to le t this shadow i n upon i t s br ightness? Forge t html No , never! S leeping or waking , h e wxmld be wi th her o n t o t h e very end of h e r i i f e i

And that w a s a l l he said t o her . A kiss upon her cheek, a touch upon her hand, and he w a s gone.

n. ,**Tou are n o t yourse l f w t * B , Ettie,** said Grandma, VentBor, day a f ter day, as the l i g h t faded from t h e brown e y e s and the color from her cheeks .

**I am a l w a y s your o w n Uti le , girV* w a s the reply, b u t never a smile from t h e sad / sad l ip s ; and her l i fe w a s a desolation, blank ba t for one tome, whererpon she had engraved the n a m e of "Hex." There w a s notr r n g e l se i n al l the world.

At last, out of the great voiceless si­lence, there came a message . I t w a s a copy of h is n e w book, and o n o n e pencil-marked page s h e found herself portrayed. I t read, sang, laughed of "Ellie! El l ie! E i f i e i ' and »«e lived again for m a n y a longv tang week, buoyed b y t h a t cruel p h a n t o m / h o p e .

B u t noth ing came. When her heart and brain could

bear no more she went one day t o Grandma Ventnor and Grandma Thornton and laid ner heart before them.

"Now y o n k n o w a l l !" she added, "and if you love me you wil l take' m e t o London. I wi l l soon be ready to come home, dear grandma; s o take me, please. J u s t now ,jriy hear t i s breaking, ahd only London can heal i t !" -.;., . ." ,...,.

In a l l . the i r l ives they had refused her nothing, and now, When she looked a t thprn with those strange eyes , they did not dare. So to the great metrop­ol is they went , these three women, a s guileless of heart and simple o f mind as little chi ldren. "

Then in tha t great wilderness they wandered—here, there, everywhere, up down, in, out, t o find that one man, that the sad brown eyes might look a t him just, once again.

And one day , when they, w e r e well-nigh heartsick and discouraged, t h e y found him. They had foun.tf the ir way into a picture gal lery one g a l a day, and there they suddenly came upon him. In all h i s grace and e legance ho stood the center of a gay party. A woman stood beside h i i ^ - a w o m a n even more beautiful than the pictured faces uponi the walls . She had whi te skin and big, lustrous eyes, sh in ing hair and g l eam ing teeth. Her si lken dresses lay in heavy: folds a l o n g t h e carpet; there w e r e long, rich feathers i n her hat, diamonds g l i t t er ing in her

J ears, and the hand t h a t rested o h h i s shohider w a s sparkling with g e m s .

One o f the attendants came hear just then, and Ell ie whisperedr

"Who is s h e ? " "Pauline Delafrere.-"Xot h is wife , then?*' The man laughed. "So." "But she wi l l be?** (

"Not in th i s w^rld," laughed he , "Men d o not marry Paulines.**

(Copyright, UN, by Lorn* Xlepeeh.) Wsshlue-ton, Feb. U.

This sermon of Dr. Taimage pre-eetfts a gospel for this life as well aa t h e y ext and show* what religion doe* for t?ue prolongation of earthly ex£it-encejv text, Psalm xei., 16: **With long life < l i I satisfy him."

T h o u g h the mistake of it* friends relig*?m has. been chiefly associated with? sickbeds and graveyards. The wteac subject to many people ia odor* oos with chlorine and carbolic acid. There are people who cannot pre-nouaee the word religion without heating in H the clipping chisel of the tombstone cutter. It is high time that this thing were changed and thai religion instead of being represented as a hearse to carry oat the dead «hoeld be represented as a chariot in which the living are to triumph,

Religion, so fax from anJbtnteting from one's vitality, la * glorious addi­tion. It ia oaaJHTe, o g i f e e , hygtenie.

, It fa good, fox the eyes, good for the ears, good for the spleen, good for the dbjestkaa, good far the nerves, g o o d f f o r t h e anuncton. When Ifcvhf, in another p a n of the f u b n t , prays that reJfgiott n a y ho dominant, ha does not speak of i t an a mild atoh> neaa or a s c nn^cfpetto* or an at­tack of moral and apixitaa*: - eraaap. He apeak* of ft as *the saris** health of aU nations,** while God in the text promisee longevity to the pions, any lag: "With long life will I satiety him.**"

The fact is that M « s d e o q u a die too soon. I t ia Ugh time tnat re­ligion Joined the hand of medkal sci­ence in attempting- to Improve h u a s s longevity. Adam lived «34 years. Methuselah lived f*» y e a n . As late in the history of the world aa Vespar eian there were at one time in his em­pire 45 people 135 years old. So far down as the sixteenth century Peter Zartan died at 1*5 years of age. I do not say that r d i g H n ; will ever take the race back t o antediluvian longer­ity, bat I do esy that the length of hu­man life will be greatly improved.

It to aald l a Iaatoh Ixv., ftO: "The child shall die a hundred y e a n old.1* Kow, if, according t o Scripture, the child ia to be a. bundretiyears old, may not the men and women reach to 300 and «00 and 500? The. fact to that we are mere dwarfs and skele-toiu oorapsred with aoine of the gen­erations that are to come. Take the AfH«an race. They have been under bondage for centuries. Give them a chance and they develop a Tousssint I'OUTerture^. And if the white race shall be brought out from the serf* ddm of sin what shall be the body? What shall be the soul? Religion ha* only just touched our world. Giro it full power for a fe^r centuries, and who can tell what will be the strength of man,and.the beauty of woman and the longevity of, sll?

My design is to show that practical religion is the friend of longevity; I prove it, first, from the fact that St. makes the care of your health a, posi­tive Christian duty. Whether we shall keep early' or late hours, whether we shall take food digestible [<>r:,irc digesti­ble, whether there shall :b^vthorough or incomplete mastication, are ques­tions very •often.•referred to the realm of whiinsicalityr,but the Christian man lifts this whole proolem 6f health into the. accountable and the,,divine. He says: "GcdhasO given roe this body^ and he has caned it the temple of the Holy Ghost, arid to "deface its altars or mar Its walls or crumble its pillars is a God*i3efying •sacrilege.'' He sees Cod's ealigraphy in every page—an­atomical, and physiological. Tie says: "C>od has given me awonderful body for noble purposes." That ami with 32 curious bones, wielded by' 40 cu­rious muscles, aud all under the brain's telegraphy—050 pounds . of blqcd rushing through the .heart every hour—the, heart in 24 hours bea^pg 100,000 times, -luring the same time

/the lungs taking in 57 hogsheads of air. and all tin's mechanism not more mighty than delicate and easily* dis­turbed and demolished.

The Christian man says to himself: "Ii I hurt my nerves, if I hurt my brain, if I hurt any of my physical faculties, I insult God and calf for dire retribution." Why did God tell the'Lcvites not to offer to Him in sacrifice animals imperfect and dis­eased? lie meant to tell r.s in all the ages that we are t o offer to God our very best physical condition, and a man who through irregular or glut­tonous eating ruins his health.: is not offering'to God such a sacrifice. Why did Paul write for his cloak at Troos? Why should sue!) a great man as Paul be anxious about a'thing so insignifi­cant as an overcoat? It was because he knew that with pneumonia and rheumatism he would not be worth half as much to God and the church as with respiration easy and foot free.

An intelligent Christian man would consider it an absurdity to kneel down at night and pray and ask God's pro­tection while at the same time he kept the windows of his bedroom tight shut against fresh air. He would just as soon, think of going to the top of hi* house and leaping off and then pray-iug to God to keep him from getting hurt. Just as long as yon refer this whole subject of physical health to the realm of whimsicality, or to the pastry cOok, or to the butcher, or to the baker, or to the apothecary, or to the clothier, you are not acting like a Christian. Take eare of all your physical forces-• nervous, muscular,

SSS W e , brain, cellular tia*uc~<-£oraH yon must ha brought to jodgiafeafc

Bmnfrtof your nervous system tote fidgets, banting out the coating of your stomach with wise logwooded and atryehuained, walking with thin shoes 'So make your feet look delicate, pinched at the waist until you axe nigh ewt i s two, and neither part worth anything, groaning about sick headache and palpitation of the heart, which yon think eame from God, when they came from your own folly.

'What right has any man or woman to deface the temple of the Holy Ghost? What is the ear? Why, it is the whispering gallery of the human souU What is the eye? It is tbc ob­servatory God constructed, its tele­scope sweeping the heaven*. So won­derful axe these bodies that God names his own attributes aft-^r dif­ferent parts of them. His omniscience —it is God's eye. His om»ipres«nee~-it Is God*s ear. His omnipotencer-lt is God's arm. The upholstery of the midnight heavens—it is the work of God's fingers. Hi* life-giving p o w e r -it is the breath of the-Aimighty^ His dominion—**th* government shall be upon his shoulder." A body,so divine­ly honored and so divinely constructed —let us be careful not to abuse i t

When i t becomes a Christian duty to take care of your health, is not the whole tendency toward longevity t If I toe* my watch about recklessly *nd drop ft on the pavement a i d w i n d j t up any time of day or night I hap­pen to think of it and often let i t run down while you ape careful with your watch and never abuse tt and wind it np just at the same hour every night and put i t tea, piece where i t wffl not amfer from the violent changes of Atmosphere, which watch wffl last the

You went to the rtghtJ to the l e f t That Is an the between yam* Oh. if this religion to a protest against ail forma of diaetpav tion. then it to an illustrious friend of longevity. "With long Hfe win I ***• isfy.kimv'..

Suppose yon had, » supernatural neighbor whooameC^amf said: "Sir, I w»ct you fe> call on too hi every exi­gency. I am your £a*t: friend; I, eould fall back on tn,0CO,000; I can fore­see a panic ten years; I hold the con­trolling stock In 30 of the best mone­tary institutions of this country; whenever you are in any trouble call on me and I will help you; you can have my money and you can have ray influence; here Is :ny hand in pledge of it." How much would you worry about business? Why, you would say: "I'll do the best I can, and then r i l

ideoend on my friend's generosity for the ,res£**';'<;.,.;,;.

XaSfi more than that is promised to every Christian business man. God says to him<: "I own New York and London' and St. "Petersbvirg- and Peking and Australia and California ,ire mine; I can foresee a panic a thousand, years; I have all the re­sources of the universeV and I ain your fast friend; when you get in business trouble or any other trouble,

_call-on xnc and I will help you; here "is my hand in pledge of omnipotent dcliveraiicc." ;, How much should that man worry? Not ra.uch^/What .lion' will'dare to i)ut his paw oivthat Dan­iel? Is there not rest in this? Is there' not an eternal vacation in fliis?

"Oh,'' you say, "here is a man who asked Cicd for a blessing in'.a- certain enterprise, and be lost $5,000 in it.' .Explain that." I will. 'Yonder is a-factory, and one wheel is going north, hnd the-other wheel is going south, and-one'wheel plays laterally,.'and the other plays vertically. I go'"to",'thtt

-lnaRiifjicfiircr.' and I say: "O znanu-factitrcr, your ma-phinery is a contra­diction. Wlnf do you not make.'a'll the wheels go one way?" '•Well," he says, "J make them to go in opposite direc­tions on purpose, and they produce •the right result. You go downstairs and examine the-.carpets we arc turn-

.ing out in this establishment, and you will see." I go down on the other ftqor, and I see the carpets, and I am obliged to confess that, though the wheels in that factory go in opposite directions, they turn out n beautiful result, and while I am standing'there' looking at the exquisite fabric an old Scripture passage comes into my ;r.ind: "AH things work i»gether_for gcod to them who love God." Is there not rest in that? Is there not tonic in that? Is there not longevity in that?

Suppose a man is all the time worried about bis reputation One man says lie lies, another says he is stupid, another says he is dishonest, and half a dozen printing establishments ' attack him, and he is in a great state of excitement and worry and fume and cannot sleep ISut religion comes to him and says: "Man, God is on your side. He will take care of your reputation. If God be with you, who can be against you?" How much should that- man worry n^nvt his reputation? Not much. If that broker who some years ago in Wall street, after he had lost money, sat down and wrote a farewell letter to his wife before he blew hli brains out J

New Testament, there would have bee* one leas suicide. O nervous and favettoh people of the world, try this Almighty sedative. You will live 3» years longer under i ts soothing power. It is not choral that you want or morphine ihat you wast. It is the Oo*oel it Jevus Christ. "With long life will I satisfy him,"

Again, practical religion i* a friend of longevity in the fact that it removes all corroding eare about a future ex­istence. Every man wants to know what is to become of him. If you get on board a rail train, you want to know at what depot it is going to stop. If you get on board a ship, you want to know into what harbor it is going to run, and if you should tell me you have no interest in what is to be your future destiny I would in aa polite a way as 1 knew tell you I did not believe you. Before I had this matter settled with reference to my future existence the question almost worried me into ruined health. The anxieties men have upon this subject put together would make a martyrdom/ This is a state of awful unheal thin ess. There ar? people who fret themselves to death for fear of dying.

I want to take the strain off your nerves and the depression off your soul, And I make two or three experiments. Experiment the first: When you go out of this world, i t does not make any dif­ference whether you have been good or had, or whether yon believed truth or error, you will go atrajght to glory. "Impossible,'* yon any. "lay common sense a* well aa my religion teaches that the bad and the good cannot live to­gether forever. You give me no com fort in that experiment.'* Experiment the seco»d: When yosi leave ttde world; you will g o Into an intermediate state where you. can get converted and p*u~ pazed for Heaven. "Impossible,** you! say; * aa the tree fafieth, so ft must He, and I cannot poatpone to an fntermedi-ate state that reformation which ought to have bee*, efleeted in this atata." Kxperiment the third: There to no f i t ture world. When a man dies, that to the mat of him. Do not worry about what you are to do fata future etate of being; yon win not do anything. *JIm-possfhfe," you any. "There fa aohse-tbmg that tells me that death to not the appendix, but the preface; there to something that tells me that on this side of the grave I only ge t started and that I shall g o on h s w t i . Hy power to think says forever, my affections any forever, my capacity to enjoy or suffer lorever.

Wefl^you defeat me in my three ex ­periments. I have only one more to make, and if you def eat me in that T am exhausted. A mighty one on a ksoH back of Jerusalem one day;, the skte* filled with forked Hgbtnings and the earth filled with volcanic dforurbajftcea, turned Hte pale and agonised face to­ward the Heavens and said: "I take the atns and sorrows of the ages into my own heart. I am the ex^hrHon. Wit* neaa earth and Heaven k m »«11,1 a m the expiation.** And the hammer struck Him and the apeers punctured him, and Heaven thundered, T h e wage* of sin Is death!" "The soul that sinneth it shall die!" "I will by no means clear the guilty! ** Then there was Silence for half an hour, and the lightnings were drawn back Into the scabbard of the sky and the earth ceased to quiver and all the colors of t be sky began to shift themselves Into a rainbow woven out of the falling tears of Jesus, and there wa* red as of the Moodshedding and there was blue' as of the. bruising and there was green as of the' Heavenly ioliage and there was or­ange as of the day dawn. And along the line of the blue I saw the words, "I was bruised for their iniquities^** And along the line of the red I saw the words, "The blood df Jesus Christ el^an&eth from all sin." And along the line of the green I saw the words, "The

J A WILL AND A WAY. ]

IK THE small front room of a small house in the High street of Hilton,

sat by the firelight Frank Curtis and Edith Unrtenshaw. They were en­gaged, but the course of their true lore had not run at all smoothly. ~

Hilton is one of those old-fashioned couniry towns which once a week, on market day, show signs of vitality, but on all other days appear in a state of somnolence.

Such furniture as the room contained (there was not space for much) was in the pure British style of King George TIL's reign, solid enough to last for generations yet to come, as it had served those that were gone, but with­out an atom of taste. It was enlivened, however, by various articles of femi­nine handiwork and little knick-knacks, showing that Edith made *ome endeav­or to supply what was otberwi#e lack­ing.

Prank sat with his feet upon the fen­der drying his legs, for he had but re­cently walked from the Grange, and the night being stormy, had not esaaped somewhat of a wetting.

Edith had just taken her seat upon a stool by his side.

"Now, Frank, light your cigar and tell me all about it>" said she. MI can see hy your far* that something to wrong. Has not your unci* left- you much?"

"Be haa toft aae everything." -Good grackwsl to *hat what make*

yaursadf*? "There are coadrtioa*.** -And what are thoscf* "I must marry within a year." - W e l i r "And with the greatest possible lib­

erality, my uneie haa given me permis­sion to choose any one of the many rnQhons U muauuiied females ha the world whWng to have me, except one, and that one to Edith Ttertenshaw.**

You can destroy more weeds in a day by burning the seeds than you can in the' whole season by try ing to destroy the pests next summer. "•.>;•••

Disease may lurk in that old well that rha& not been cleaned out for several years . Better attend to it before the doctor cleans your pbeketbook out.

A few days devoted entirely to the matter of secariittg fuel for the winter will relieve your mind wonderfully of this job and keep the women in much better humor. / ^ -

A man who cannot find pleasure in arranging and rearranging his • tool sheds, stables, grain bins, etc., when other work i s not pressing, or on rainy days, ba& but l i t t le interest in his work.

Chairman Marsh had called the meeting for three o'clock to select time and place for the state convention to select delegates to the national convention. At the outset he read a statement, in which he said;

"Personal Olsaster and disgrace have come upon me. Although in good time I shall show that the disgrace is wholly un­merited I cannot ask my fellow republicans to carry any vx>rtion of my burden. For this reason a JOE ft I herewith resign my po­sition as chairman ol the republican state central committee.'

The resignation vwas linanimcsly accepted without debate. A resolu­tion was adopted with one dissenting vote thanking Gen. Marsh'for able services".as chairman. Gen. Marsh then at once quitted the session.

Rising from the river in front of the center of the peristyle is a fine white marble Doric column 200 fevt tall, surmounted by a torch-lighting apparatus.

**Th* oddest character a m o n g the Kentucky colonels of the eiril war,** aald the captain, "was Col. Wolford, of the JTrst Kentucky cavalry. Probably n o name was more familiar t o t h e in -fantry of the army of the Cumberland than Wolford's. Even when he com* nianded only a regiment he seemed to be constant ly in hot water, and, aa the boys put it, he Was always fee l ing the enemy. When he came to command a brigade and a division he seemed to be more active and t o have greater luck in s tr iking the enemy or . in being struck, because Wolford was n o t the kind of a man 'hat was uniformly on top . , .••;••'

I t i$ ti popular custpui to represent the German empress as beifcg above all a good "hausifrau" and one interested In little else than household manage­ment* This tradition, says the IVev: York Tribune, is viewed with a,oert^in amusemsnt in aristocratic Berlin cir­cles. The .fact is.'that the empress has so little to do with Ore housekeeping of the palace at Potsdam that she rele­gates to the emperov the daily task of receiving ths official whose duty, it is to supervise the management of the royal household.

It wa* the consort of the late Em­peror Frederick, borp princess royal of England, who flrst took personal charge of the Prussian royal establishment. The greatest extravagance and waste prevailed before she and her practical husband took fhe matter in hand and effected sweeping reforms. Their ex­ample is followed by the present em­peror, who nevergiTes the simplest din­ner party ^rlthont first calculating the exact cost per guest*

The little daughter of the emperor hi receiving a careful education in all do­mestic bra&chea, but the empress tak£* no interest in any except that of dress--making. Moat of ber own aad her slaughter's dresses are cut and made uu-def ber RHp*rri*to&* A Urge staff of

Groat, erf the Newark office.
