;Siege That Commanded Admiration
—Suffragette Who Wouldn't
Pay Taxes.
The feat of the Cornishman, Cecil
Dench, of St. Blazey, in holding his
cottage for nearly four days and
nights against a force of constables.
by no means establishes a record in
single -house sieges, for in the early
days of the "Votes for Women"
movement in England that ardent
suffragist, Mrs. Dora Montefiore,
shut herself up in h'r Hammersmith
house and defier: Cie bailiffs—who
were seeking to arrest her for un-
paid in( -tax—during the better
part of Ito ' t•tatight.
SII:
OF FIVE WEEKS.
In 14 again, during the sum-
mer of 1890, a Royalist agitator
named Jules Guerin fortified a
residence he owned in the Rue
C'habrol, and sustained therein a
siege which excited the interest,
..e� ven in a sense, compelled the
timiration of Europe. .
Troops moved against him. Gend-
armes fusilladed his impromptu
citadel. Yet he and his friends re-
fused to capitulate until one mem-
ber of the garrison actually died
from starvtion. Then they surrend-
ered, a band of gaunt, dishevelled
spectres, after a siege lasting from
Mistiest 12th to September 20th.
Several similar instances, too,
took place in Ireland during the
palmy days of the Land League.
At Bodyke, for example, five peas-
ants kept half a regiment of British
redcoats at bay for eleven days.
AT BAY IN CHIMNEY.
A Gweedore family sustained a
siege of nineteen days, during
which period the "garrison" was
twice successfully relieved and re -
victualed by armed peasants. i)r.
Tanner, M.P., following their ex-
ample, shut, himself up in his castel-
lated country scat, and refused to
surrender to the ollicers of the
Crown, who held a warrant for his
arrest.
In Newry, not long since, a
lejack Ilallled Gill sustained a
-iege in a chimney. He had
-ender at last, but the fine
..gistrate inflicted upon him
+aid many times over by the

London flats, especially if they
are high enough, lend themselves
readily to passive defence of this
character. One such, in Blooms-
bury, was held for three months by
n widow and her daughter against
the landlord and his agents, the
bailiffs. .. - .

'RESPONSIBILITY OT LIVING
Good
to Know Tliat Men May Bo Better
for Our having Lived.
For none of us liveth to himself,
and no man diet•II to 16111s(4f.—lto-
lilans xiv. 7.
Nobody is independent. :111
human lives are inseparably joi.ted.
Things wo said yesterday will be
recalled with pleasure or pain by
somebody twenty years from now.
11 hat we did last week will snake
somebody better or woreo whin our
bodies have turned to dust.
Life is rattler solemn business.
Nub�dy is so insignificant as to be
without influence. Most of us would
be filled with horror if we could
read the record uf our lives and see
how a word we spoke carelessly
started sante one on the way to
ruin. And it would fill us with a
bliss tht.t is like heaven itself if
we could flee that there aro persons
who date all the good there is in
their lives to some kindly deed of
ours done
SIMPLY FROM IMPULSE.
However much we may wish at
times that we could do as we please
without our deeds affecting the
lives of others, yet a moment's
thought will make us glad that hu-
man lives are thus bonded together.
There is dignity in life when we feel
that a hundred years frum now men
may be better for our having lived.
And, on the other hand, there is
responsibility in living, since after
me are gone men may be worse for
our misdeeds. It doubtless would
I•t more pleasing if our goodness
:tight bless others without our bad -
ss cursing them. But you can•
taut have one side without the othet
any more than you can have light
without shadow. If it is right til...
nen should be able to help one an-
other, it must be right, because it
is a part of the same arrangement
that they should be able to hurt
one another.
Sometimes we intentionally in-
fluence people as when wo argue

influence is
EXERTED UNCONSCIOUSLY.
As the iceberg chills the air for
miles around it or as the honey-
si ckle makes rho air about it heavy
with fragrance, so men radiate
helpful or hurtful influences. Our
character, whatever it may be, is
contagious.
It was said by a pian who was
dying: "Oh, that my influence
night be gathered up and buried
with ate." That cannot be, how-
ever much we wish it. Our influ-
ence goes on blessing or blasting
people forever. Of another man

made men better." What a fine
tiling that is—to have such a char-
acter that when you meet people
you make thorn wish to be nobler,
purer, truer.

THE S. S. LESSON
l\'f1it\-17'1(1\.11. 1,1:s!sON,
J1 1.1" 4.
Lesson I. l'am's Second Mission-
ary Journey. Golden '\'ext,
Acta 16: 9.
I. Planning for the Second Mis-
sionary Campaign.—Acts 15 : 36-39.
The lesson for to -day connects with
the eighth lesson of our last quarter,
which describes the epoch making
gathering at Jerusalem to settle
the disputed questions concerning
the reception of the Gentiles iuto
the church with the Jews.
For some time after that Paul
and Barnabas, the returned mis-
sionaries, preached the word of the
Lord in the home enure)} at Antioch
which had sent them forth.
But the missionary spirit burned
within them and Paul proposed
to Barnabas that they return to
their mission field which needed
thew more than the home city
where were many preachers and
teachers.
He should visit his spiritual chil-
dren to see how they were growing
in grace. He would look at the
tender vines in the vineyard he had
planted to see what further care
was required. These churches, so
far separated from others, having
received but n small portion of the
troths of the gospel, exposed to
temptations, to errors, and to
dangers, had no small need of
apostolic care and training.
Barnabas was quite willing to
go.
Then arose a practical question
between them. They needed some -
ono to go with them as an assistant
in many ways.
Barnabas wanted to take with
them his young cousin John Mark,
who had started with them on
their first tour, but on reaching
the coast of Asia Minor where their
main work was to be clone, for seine
reason left the missionaries, and re-
turned home. How much the dangers
of a wild almost unknown country,
how much the malarial sickness on
the coast w inch may have attacked
and weakened the young man, had
to do with his return we do nut
know.
Barnabas had good reasons for
wanting to take his cousin with
him. The young man wanted to
go. Doubtless he was sorry that he
left the missionary company three
or four years before, especially
when at Jerusalem he heard the
glowing accounts of their success,
and was fired with new missionary
zeal. He wanted to redeem his
character and life. Barnabas real-
ized the possibilities in John
Mark. He loved him. He believed
in him. He wanted to give the
young man another chance, and
not mar his whole career because
of ono youthful mistake. And the
future proved that Ile.rnabas was
right in his judgment. Paul him-
self in later years found that Mark
had developed lieu a than of great
heart, self -forgetful and courage-
ous, whom he could love and trust
and respect. In his two imprison-
ments St. Paul mention; Nark in
terms of high approval (Col. 4: 10,
11 ; Philemon 24; 2 Tim. 4 : 11).
Paul on the other hand was will-
ing to take the risk of havin ap
his assistant a young man who ad
the
d him in ,f greatr
fano( 1 n► ope c�iea
of his life: andhad not yet preyed
himself able to underte swab •
dangerous journey as was now be-
fore then] from which he had re-
coiled three or four years before
Paul was apparently in not very
firm health, and it was absolutely
necessary to have a perfectly re-
liable helper.
Both Barnabas and Paul were
right, and therefore each one stood
steadfastly by his own judgment.
There was only ono solution of
the trouble, and that was to part
as friends, and make two mission-
ary companies instead of one.
II. New Work in Old Fields.—
Acts 15 : 40 ; 16 : 1-10. Barnabas and
Mark went. to Cyprus where the
family of Barnabas belonged (Acts
4 : 36), and where he went with Paul
on the first missionary journey
(Acts 13: 4-12). Barnabas is not
mentioned again in the Acts, for he
did not come again within the plan
of that history ; but "the choir in-
visible" on earth is hoard in heaven
and the records of the faithful are
written in the Book of Life. Mark
is mentioned again through his
connection with Paul.
The Companio.rs of Paul. Paul
chose Silas as his companion in
the place of Barnabas. Silas (a
contraction of the Silvanus of the
Epistles) was one of the leaders of
the (nuttier chinch at Jerusalem.
He came to Anwoch with Paul as
their delegate after the great con-
ference (Acts 15: 22). Like Paul,
he was a Roman citizen (Rendall),
and was in thorough sympathy with
him.
III. Tho Beginnings of Chris-
tianity in Europe. ---Vs. 11-15. The
four missionaries immediately sail
from Trolls :•1 a straight. course, 60
miles to the island of Samothracia,
the first day. The next day they
sailed 75 miles to Neapolis (New
City, Naples), the seaport of
Philippi. Everything was favor-
able, for they made in tw•n or three
days a journey which took Paul at
another time five days (.Acts 20: 0).
Thence ten miles, by land or by the
ri. er, to Philippi.
Philippi wits nailed after King
Philip of Macedon. I1is called
(v. 12) the chief city of that part of
Macedonia, the first in rank, and
a colony, that is a Roman colony,
under the emperor, and not the
senate.

GREEN AND BLACK TEA.
Popper Hales Ptay No fart in
Making Green Tea.
Much misapprehension exists as
to the div ision of ten into the two
great classes, green and black.
Some wise ones insist that green
tea is dried on copper plates and
thus gets its color and name. This
they allege as a reason for refusing
green tea as unwholesome.
In reality, greet) tea is made from
the samo leaves as the black, al-
though some varieties are best fur
each of these respective kinds. in
green tea the leaves are quickly
brought in and placed in a double
boiler and allowed to remain sur-
rounded by boiling water for eight
or nine minutes, the cover being
frequently removed and the leaves
stirred. This process makes the
leaves soft and ready for rolling.
Black tea is withered for front
twelve to twenty-four hours and
allowed to ferment from three to
rix hours, when oxidization takes
place, which makes it black.
Both teas, after rolling, are plac-
ed at once in a pan in an oven and
stirred uutil they aro dry and brit -
ti* to the touch and a slight tea
odor is perceptible.
1111:.1P I 11101 IN IND' t,
Conditions in .lute Mills and 3lode
of lining of 11orl,ers.
Writing from Calcutta of the jute
industry, Consul -General Michael
says of the wages and mode of tie-
ing of the mill workers:
"I visited the modern Kinnisen
mill, which has a capital of $1,000,-
000, and the latest machinery made
in England. It has 650 looms and
produces 113,000 tons of bags and
Hessian cloth in fifty weeks. This
mill employes 4,000 men, women
and children.
"Tile wages paid to men in the
mills range front $2 to $3 a month,
workmen from $1.50 to $2, and
buys and girls from $1 to $1.75.
These people subsist principally on
rice and vegetables made up in the
t1
form of curry, t Inch is a peppery
I Ply Y
and sweetish �tnixture of rice and
vegetables, with now and then
chicken, (luck or goat meat.
"They all chew betel nut con-
stantly as a stimulant. They eat
two meals a day, as a rule, one be-
fore beginning work, and one after
the day's wurk is done. The men
and boys wear breech -clouts or
dhooties, and the women and girls
saris, which consists of forty yards
of thin muslin wrapped in a pecul-
iar way about the loins and should
ors.
"The people of a mill, or several
mills if the mills are nearly locat-
ed together, occupy a village, which
is made up of huts made of mud,
bricks and paha leaves woven into
sheets and tacked on bamboo poles.
All are thatched with a long, tough
grass, used throughout India for
covering huts and bungalows, and
which makes a tight, cool and dur-
able roof. The floor is made of
clay, tamped down hard, which
makes a very good floor. On this
floor is spread in places matting
made of bamboo grass. On this
matting many of the natives throw
down a cotton blanket or possibly
a thin mattress, for beds. Some
have a rude bed made of four
posts, 16 inches high, with cross-
head and sidepieces, pinned togeth-
er and then crisscrossed with bed
cords. There nuts' be a few rude
benches, but little or no other furni-
ture is to be seen in the huts. The
natives eat on the floor, squatted
around a pot or pan containing the
food. The men and boys cat first
and the women and girls afterward,
taking what is left. No knives,
spoons or forks are used in eating,
the fingers answering all purposes.
Each Indian is ambitious to own a
brass jug or pot, and these brasses
are handed down as heirlooms and
are held as almost sacred in posses-
sions. They are kept bright by
scouring them with mud and water.
After a meal the brasses that heve
been used in any way are taken out
in the street, where the women or
men, as the ease may be, squat on
the ground and rub them with the
dust and water.
MB. JI'RGLETON'S DISCOVERY
No Man in a Stovepipe Hat Ever
Seen Carrying a Baby.
"Did you ever," said Mr. Jurgle-
ton,.. see a man in a silk hat ear-
rying an infant child . Never, 1
venture to say.
"You do see plenty of fathers,
young fathers mostly, carrying
their babies and very willing to car-
ry theta, indeed proud of their off-
spring; but you never see such a
father in a tall hat. The;: may wear
fc.rty-'Icven other kinds of slats —
<lerbies, soft hats, straw hats, or
as minty kinds of caps; but no fa-
ther carrying any infant ever wears
a silk hat.
"Of course there can't bo any
fashion decree about this. Re-
fraining from wearing a silk hat
on such occasions must bo duo just
t I instinctive common sense ; the
baby is an exertmely informal
thing, liable to scream or cry or
wriggle or squirm at any minute,
t.: bear itself in many ways in a
manner quite incompatible with
high hat dignity ; and even young
fathers seem to know this, and lel
they leave their stovepipe tiles on
the shelf at home when they go out
with the baby. They seen] to know
what is fitting instinctively; but
ton never see a man in a stovepipe
hat carrying ababy."
MANY DON'T KNOW
HEART AFFECTED.
More People Than are Aware of It
, Have Heart Disease. „
"It examinations were made of every.
one, pcoplo would be surprised at the num•
her of persons walking about suffering from
heart disease "
This startling statement wee made by a
doctor at a recent inquest. " I should not
like to say that heart disease is as etiminen
as this would imply," said the expert,
"but I am sure that the number of persons
going about with weak hearts must bo very
Urge."
Hundreds of people go al.rmt their daily
work on the verge of death, and yet do tint
know it. it is only when the ahnek comes
that kills them that the Unew pee te.l weak-
ness of the heart is made apparent."
"But undoebtelly heart steak:less. not
disease, is more prevalent nowadays. I
should think that the atreee of living, the
wear and rush of modern 6uainePa life,
have a lot to do with heart trouble."

SEASONABLE RECIPES.
Rhubarb Shortcake.—Make the
dough as fur strawberry shortcake.
Cook rhubarb slowly, using no
water, until done. Flavor with le-
mon
o-nton or nutmeg and sweeten to
tests.. Split cake lengthwise and
finish as with strawberries.
Strawberry Jelly and Butter.
Cap and wash two quarts of
strawberries. Cut up three large
stalks of rhubarb into small pieces.
Place in granite or porcelain vessel
with one pint cold water. Place
ou fire. When cooked pour in sieve
to drain. Measure juice and place
over fire. To each pint of juice add
one pine of sugar. Put sugar in
jar and place in oven to heat. Stir
often to prevent burning. When
hot, add sugar to boiling juice and
cook rapidly until done. Test by
dropping some in cold saucer. Put
in glasses and covet. Butter—Mix
strawberries and rhubarb from
which jelly was made and rub
through sieve. To each pint of
fruit add ono pint sugar. Place
over fire, cook until thick. Stir
constantly to prevent burning. Put
up the same as the jelly.
I'IE POINTERS.
How to Make Pie Crust.—One-
half cupful of melted shortening
(butter, beef drippings, or lard,
or a mixture of any two, or all),
One-quarter cupful of cold water,
one heaping cupful of flour, a little
salt. 'Method : Into a bowl put first
the shortening. Next the water,
and with a spoon stir into this the
flour and salt. When mixed (which
only takes a minute or two) set in
refrigerator to cool. When hard
enough roll. This is enough for
both upper and lower crust for a
large pie. Before putting into the
oven brush top of the pie with milk.
This will make it a nice brown
color.
When Making Sour Pies.—hen
ll
sour pies such as rhubarb
and cranberry, it is well to add a
cupful of raisins that have been
previously soaked in water. They
will take away that tartflavor be•
sides absorbing the superfluous
juices.
To Bake Pio Crust.—When mak-
ing a pie that regaires the crust to
be baked before putting the filling
in it, turn the pie pan upside down
and place the dough over the pan
and bake in this manner. This
prevents the crust from shrinking
so that when it is removed and
placed inside the pan with the fill-
ing tho pie will prove to be more
satisfactory when cut.
"Never Fail" Pie Crust.—Two
tablespoonfuls of lard, four table-
spoonfuls of water, eight tablo-
spoonfuls of flour, a pinch of salt.
Quantities are easily remembered
by "two times four equal eight."
FLOOR COVERING.
Rugs that curl on edges can be
made to lie flat by dampening curled
edge and pressing with hot iron.
When Beating Rugs.—When beat-
ing rugs it is an excellent plan to
do a handkerchief over the nose
and mouth. This prevents the in-
haling of the dust.
Cleaning Carpet on Floor.- Take
cornmeal, saturate thoroughly with
gasoline, sprinkle quite heavily
over carpet, and scrub with a broom.
It will remove all dirt and dust,
making the carpet look like now.
Care, however, must be taken as to
lighting matches and windows
should be opened to air the rooms.
Buying Carpet, for Stairs.—Al-
ways buy an extra yard of stair
carpet. It can be shifted up or
down a little every time it is taken
ftp, so that it wears evenly.
Otherwise the part over the trends
will be worn completely through,
while the uprights aro as gond as
now. The sitrpltis can be folded
under at the top or bottom. Just
try it ; you will be delighted to find
your carpet wear twice as long and
will not begin to look much worn
till it is about gone, as it is all used
alike.
To Clean Matting. --Do not forget
that matting must never bo washed
with soppy water. A strong solu-
tion of salt water cleans matting
and makes it look like new. In lay-
ing matting place one or two thick-
nesses of old newspaper under-
neath it, .for matting always lets
dust and dirt through it like a sieve,
and when it has to he taken up the
pieces of dust eovered paper can he
carefully lifted and burned. \Viriths
of matting sewed together with a
loose stitch, using carpet thread,
make the floor covering look neater
and wear better than when staples
are used to fasten it down.
ABOUT LINEN.
When buying material for a white
linen suit it will ne found more
economical to get the two yard
wide linen sheeting. as it costs less
and silts to splendid advantage.
Always buy linen handkerchiefs
and towels and you (00 keep them
a gond color more easily than if
cotton ones are bought.
For n laundry ling buy one and
• half yards of wide bina••h-a linen
toweling, double it, uvereast the t
edges, und put a stout tape draw-
string at the top. This bag can bo
laundried often and to kept sweet
and clean. Tho word "laundry"
written on one side and outlined in
white would add to the appearance.
1f a piece of heavy linen, cut
large enough to cover the top of
the dining table and extend two
inches over at each edge, is neatly
hemmed and plaeed over the Targe
cloth a part uf each week the table
can be kept neater with less laun-
dry work, and the largo table cloth
will not wear out at the edges so
quickly.
Half a yard of yard wide natural
colored listen will snake a cool and
durable cushion cover for summer
use. Cut the linen in two and em-
broider the top in a dull blue, us
ing any pattern desired (large initi-
als
-
uis ore pretty). and
edge
with a blue and linen colored cord.
KITCHEN TIME SAVERS.
Dissolve copperas in your drain
pipes often to clean out slime and
grease and to thoroughly disinfect
them.
Five cents' worth of Chinese blue
dissolved in one quart of water
makes excellent bluing and will
last a family a year.
Pour sauce around fish and pud-
dings, not over them.
A spoonful of vinegar in kettle
of hot lard will prevent doughnuts
from absorbing fat.
Pineapple juice or grated pine-
apple added to lemonade is delici-
ous.
One teaspoon sweet cream in
frosting prevents crumbling when
ctit.
THE DEADLY CROQUET.
Innocent Forms of Sport are 1'n -
known in Russia.
It seems strange that in a coun-
try so cold as northern Russia the
spirit of sport should not be more
developed. The tropics, even, adopt
football, baseball and other ath-
letic games, but the land of the
white bear seems to hibernate un-
der its covering of ice and snow.
An article in Chambers's Journal
speaks of this fact and tells of the
suspicion aroused, a number of
years ago, by the introduction of an
innocent form of diversion.
Unfortunately, the Russian
schoolboy has not the faintest know-
ledge of the practise, even of the
existence, of football, cricket,
fours, golf, hockey, and so forth.
Most of his time is loafed away. He
skates a little in the winter if he
lives near the ice, but he will not
go far for it. In summer ho walks
up and down the village street,
plays cup and ball in the garden,
fishes a little, and lazies away his
time without exertion. Lawn -ten-
nis is slightly attempted, but not
really liked.
Many years ago, when 1 was a
schoolboy, I arrived from England
to spend a summer in Russia. I
brought with me a box of croquet,
a game at the time unknown by
the Ituseians.
When the box was opened at the
custom -house, the authorities re-
treated in horror at its awe-inspir-
ing contents. Bombs, mysterious
weapons' It was an awful box.
I drew forth one of the bombs
and placed it on the floor, to the
accompaniment of cries of conster-
nation and terror. I took one of
the mallets, and to the inexpres-
sible alarm of all, I began a little
exhibition of the game. As 1 could
not use the hoops on the fluor, the
custom -house officials grimly sus-
pected then] to be boomerangs of
novel description.
The box was seized and examin-
ed. I got the croquet set after a
while, but it bore marks of severe
testing.

sen Dangers of lightning.
Though it is impossible to avoid
the danger of being struck by light-

mendations may, with advantage,
be borne in mind:—
Avoid fireplaces. Lightning often
enters by the chimney, on account
of the internal coating of soot. --
one of the bodies for which lightn-
ing evinces a preference. For the
same reasons, avoid metals, gild-
ings and mirrors, on account of
their quicksilver. The best place
is the middle of the room, unless
there should he a lamp or chande-
lier hanging from the ceiling.
The less contact with walls or
floors the better; and the safest
place—were it possible to arrange
it—would be in a hammock, sus-
pended by silken cords, in the mid-
dle of a large room. in the absence

MOBILIZING GERMAN .1RMY.
How Each Reservist finds His
Place and Regiment.
Nobody who has visited Germany
can fail to have been struck by tho
large official signboards at the entry
to each town or village, says Pear -
son's y
These\Weeconklta.in full information as
to exactly which official in tho com-
munity to apply to should the ma-
gic word "mobilize" bo spoken.
Wherever the German reservist
may chance to be when the order
tc• mobilize is given—assuming of
course that ho is not out of the
country—ho has only to ask the
first inhabitant or walk to the end
f the village and look at the di-
rections on the signboard to find
c.ut his own particular place in the
military scheme.
He will see that he must go to
Herr Schmidt at 40 Schutzen street.
Herr Schmidt will tell him exactly
in which town he has to go in or-
der to rejoin his own unit and,
w hat is stall more important, will
give him the money and the rail-
way pass to take him them Ar-
rived at his destination, ho will find
his uniform, arms and accoutre-
ments piled neatly in a heap with
a label bearing his name and regi-
ment number on the top of the heap.
He has only to put it on and take
his place anion the comrades with
whom ho did his military service
some years ago. This destination
was arranged upon many years
back, and the exact time schedule
for marching and railway journeys
was compiled long since.
