Llano., Mayor of Aronca, Trinidad, the most prosperous and active of the Islands of the British West Indies. The occasion was the celebration of the jubilee of the Presbyterian Church in, Arouca. Nearly all the missionaries, Rev. E. A. McCurdy and others, were present - The mayor—a. Roman .Catholic --presided, and a scene' seldom witnessed, and words not often heard, were enjoyed by a goodly gathering.. The Mayor's address, showing at grace the impression which the mission in Trinidad is making on those outside, and the broad and liberal spirit of the gentle- man who made it, was as follows : " I greatly feel the honor done to me in asking me to take the chair on this occa- sion, the jabilee of the Arouca Presbyterian Church. It must not be expected that, on this occasion, I will attempt to go deeply into the history of Preabyterianiem.

HER mother planted me when she first married John Grant, the gamekeeper, and came home to live. As you ace, the lodge is very pretty, but gray stone al- ways looks cold and drear if there are no clinging vines to enliven the picture. , This ie why I am here—to en- liven and beautify—and I flatter myself that I more than fulfil my duty. Yes, as I'was saying, ber mother planted mee' nd at twilight, when John had finished war they would come together, and she wo say : •' How that honeysuckle grows ! Why, John, 1 do believe it will blossom before . next summer !' ' I shouldn't wonder, dear," he would answer. `• The lodge will look nearly as fine as the Great House with the honey- suckles covering it alt over." How proud we were—we three—on the day when my first tendril twined round the doorpost ! Thus I grew and flourished in the sun- light, and gradually the whole front of the lodge was gay with nodding blossoms. But although I was happy, still at times a lonely feeling overcame me that I could not account for. John bad his work to do, and even the little wife had no time to waste ' on the porch. But one morning my silent wish was gratified, for they brought her out to the doorway—L a tiny bundle of flannels— a baby—and I knew my playfellow bad arrived - Then came a Sunday morning when a little triune .procession filed down the path with their beet robes. In about an hour they returned, with several additions to the ,m party, and sat down to cakes and wines in the porch. Presently John rose and pro- posed a toast—" M ias Louise Grant." Then I knew they had been to the christening. Now you see there were two of us to grow—Baby Lou and I—and the days passed like dreams. She would play by the hour, digging in the soft earth about my roots, stopping occasionally to pick a ' bunch of my sweetest blossoms and thrust thems§ehrvugh the big gate to the pass era by. One morning she came out with a school fag on her arm and my lonely days began Once more. Thus the years passed and Lou grew to be a woman with a sweet, gentle face—not exactly beautiful, but so loving and true that every one called her pretty, splained, "end the prang lady has tau a stray shot in her -arm. alb y ter-. tunate, but I assure you it wag an accident, and the wound -is very. slight," mere scratch in the flesh, nothing more." .And with pro- fuse apologies from the whole party they left her to her mother. True, it was onl ' a scratch, but Lon seemed to have lost her old light-hearted smile, and went around the house looking like the ghost of the girl who used to wait for her lover under the shadow of my blossoms. This went on for a week or two until one night Lou came out in the moonlight alone, and, after digging a little hole by my roots, dropped into it a package of notes and a cluster of withered honeysuckle blossoms. Her mother, stepping out on the porch, was alarmed at finding her standing there in the chill night air. She called to her softly : . " Lon, dear 1" At that the girl's heart overflowed, and in a low, subdued voice that I could scarcely hear, she told the sad little story of the afternoon in the woods. She had wandered on for about an she thought, when a rustling in the thicket startled her, and turning she saw a familiar figure emerge into the path. The first thought that came to her was of the doubts of the morning, and that now he would ex- plain everythinp°satiafactorily. She had cried " Fred !" and ran towards him when she heard a report and felt a sharp twinge in her arm. She felt stur.ned, more from fright than anything else, and lay there with closed yes for a moment, trying to collect her scattered senses. There was a confused murmur in her ears, and what was evi- dently the remainder of ashooting party hurried up. Presently once voice said dis- tinctly c " Why,Fred, do yon know her ? She called your name. One of your flames ? Awfully sorry I shot her.. Fine girl !" Then another, with a laugh : " Been at your old tricks, I see.

He thought he'd like to kiss her, so he " tried it on.' Now, when it comes to kissing a girl, . t. there are men and men. Some men—these are the bunglers—ask a girl fora kiss, and then try to persuade her into giving it. The other men—these are the artists—take the kiss and do the peranading afterward. A girl may try to get mad,with one of these men, but she feels an awfully strong inclin- ation to laugh when it's all over, and he may be afraid she'll scold, but he's got the kiss all the same. " Come what may, he . has been blesaed." This fellow was one of the former kind— the bunglers. He asked her to give him a kiss, and of course she said she wouldn't do it. Moreover, she was filled with indigna- tion, amazement, shocked feelings and things. Then he started in to persuade her. He is a lawyer, and his logic on this occas• Bion was not half bad, so the girl says. He ' made an eloquent plea, and it took him visit the exposition in any case, and that some twenty minutes arguing to convinoe they will prefer to appear as contributors, tier according to his satisfaction that the thus conferring an importance upon kiss was a perfectly excusable piece of their societies and their homes not possible naughtiness. He worked hard, but at last under any other circumstances. These forces he thought he had satisfied his stun - being directed and guided, as they must be, pies with sophistry, so he said : in combined effort, the neceaeary prepare- '• Well, now that I've argued the mat- tion for their appearance at the Exposition ter with you I'm going to kiss you." She gave him a look of greatest naivete and said, in a. suppressed, impatient tone: " Well, yon didn't expect me to kiss yon first, did you ?" He was flabbergasted. She was the first of that species known as "the summer girl that he had met, and4this stag- gered him.—Chicago News. and it seemed to me that Maater Fred " —as John called the heir to the great house —came to the lodge oftener than before. At first an errand for his lady mother world b.; the excuse ; then he would develop a, snsP picions anxiety for John's opinion of the advisability of inviting a party down for the shooting ; but finally all disguise was abandoned and Louise would watch for him, leaning her brown head against the pillar of the piazza, where I could caress her to my hearts content. But not long was this pleasure afforded me, for when his firth tread was heard upon the gravel her lithe figure would straighten and grow tense with impatience and her blue eyes strain to catch a glimpse of the beloved form through else gathering shadows. She loved him truly and he knew it ; but Master Fred grew tired and the time came when she would watch for . him in vain night after night. Finally, if he did ap- pear,`' was to " stay only a few minutes," as le come " just to see how they all were,','to carelessly pat her cheek, tell her she looked as if herhead ached, kiss her lightly and go. Still she belived fn him. Finally his anxiety for the family welfare seemed to die out entirely, and one morning Tim, the gardener, stopped at the lodge' on his way to the greenhouses. " Hey, John ! John Grant !" he ' called lustily. , " Hello, Tim ! How goes it ?" asked John, comiog around the house. " How are the wife and little one ?"- "All rosy, John, thanks be to God ! But ' have you heard the news from the great house?, Maste°rFrederic will be soon taking to himself a wife.

The best musical talent of the world will be drawn upon ; fuse halls will be provided ; and something like half a million dollars `will be expended to make the musical features of the Exposition a success. Two of the halls or auditories will cost each $100,000, and $175,000 has been set apart for an orchestra of 120 skilled musicians, who will be drilled by Theodore Thomas. This orchestra will be the nucleus about which will belormed the grand chor- uses.

Have on hand a fish -turner. It is one of the most useful kitchen utensils, as it is exceedingly difficult to turn a fish without mutilating it. Use olive oil, cottolene, lard or pork scrape for fried fish. Some cooks use a dredging of flour, others beaten eggs and crackers or. bread crumbs. Season with salt and pepper and fry a delicate brown. In boiling a large fish wrap in a cloth which has been well floured to prevent sticking, tie with string and cover with three inches of cold water well salted. Time, five to ten minutes per pound. When done drain on a sieve. If broiled, cleanse and dry ; split the fish opera so that the backbone will be flat in the middle ; when seasoned, batter :gridiron and brown fish with the inside towards the coals. Butter lavishly and serve on hot platter. Garnish with parsley. The fish to be baked must be thoroughly washed and wiped dry ; when stuffed sew together, season with -salt and pepper and sufficient water to baste with.

The coolie comes here dressed in a' state of half nudity, treating his *omen and children as mere chattels and articles of merchandise— valuing human life cheaply, insomucn that it takes but little to make him commit murder. See the same man when he yields himself to the teaching of his missionary. We may now say of him that he is ' clothed and in his right mind.' He now sees that his wife, whom before he looked ones a mere chattel, as only born to minister to man's selfish needs—while no rights of her own were to be considered—is a child of the same Almighty Father with himself, hiving an immortal soul, possessing equal privi- leges with himself as a citizen of that city, whose foundations both he and she look for,. and towards whose gates both he and she are wending their way in their daily pil- grimage. The girls of his family he now sees were born for other things than merely to be nurtured as common animals and sold as wives—namely, to be reared to take their places on equal terms with their husbands as responsible heads of households. In short, he now sees that true happiness consists as much in a due consideration for the com- forts of others as of himself, and that it is only by being withdrawn from the deluding influence of self-love that a man can really consult his highest and best interest." The• Next Total Solar .Eclipse. Though the next total solar eclipse does not take place till April 15, 1893, astrono- mers are already astir making plans for ob- serving it. Nature says it will probably be " very widely observed, not only be- cause the shadow of the moon passes over such a great .stretch of land, but because the phenomenon occurs at the period when a sun spot maximum is approaching, at a hich time, of course, the disturbed part of the atneephere of the sun is on the. in- .;cease." The centre of the shadow traverses Chili, passes to the north of the Argentine I.Republic, skirts. the provineee of Bolivia and Paraguay and cote through the heart of Brazil, finally 'crossing the Atlantic Ocean and entering the African coast be- tween Cape Verde and Bathurst. eIt is not too early for American and European astronomers to make preparations for ob- serving the phenomenon. The opportunity } should be improved to the utmost by repre- i eentativea of all nations. Did Von Ever Try A mixture of alum, glycerine, vinegar and 'water for 'mosquito bites?

" Yep Paid $? for it, an' ain't had it off my finger yet: Helps some, I spose.'i " I've hearn tell of them rings," said a Missouri man, in a drawling tone, " but I tell ye what, stranger,• there ain't ennythin' kin compare with a common or'nary p'tater carried in the pocket.

WHY TOMMIE LEFT SCHOOL A Bright LittlekS etch by Fidele D. Holland. " The subject for composition," said Minn Ketchum, the teacher of the bigh school at Weighback, 't Will be - ` The Domestic Cat'" ; and she wrote the title in large let- ters en the black -board. Tommie Higgins, the bad boy of the school, hugged himself,., and, nudging his nearest neighbor, whis- pered: " I kin yarn 'bout that, .yon bet." " Silence !" thundered,Miss Ketchum, in her big contralto voice. " Thomas Higgins, stand out on the floor. After some slight hesitation, due probably to native diffidence, Tommie did as he was told. The following Monday the compositions were read aloud by their respective authors. All went well until it came to Tommie Hig- gine' turn to air hie literary efforts. With a glance of defiance, mingled with triumph, he read as follows: ' "The Domestick Cat.—There in cats as is nice, and there is cats as is not nice. I know an old catand her name is. Marian ; she is about 40 years old. She has not never had no kittinga of her own, but she seta up to boss other fokeses kittinga and teach them no end of stuff.

Miss Ketchum, whose name was Maria, and whose maiden tyears exactly corresponded. with those of the feline subject of the essay, was speechless with indignation. Tommie does not go to that school now. Tommy bas eaten his meals off the mantel- piece for some time. Strange to ray, he cannot bear to even look at the family cat, but kicks her remorselessly every time she ventures near him. Positive Proof. Merritt—Did Johnnie have a good time on the Fourth ?

Half the illness that occurs at one season, I think I can safely say, is due to improper dieting .taken at another, says Dr. Yorke Davis, in the Popular Science Monthly. We hear of people feeling weakin the spring, or suffering from those different ailments due to malnutrition, such as bode, skin diseases, obesity or debility. Now, this would not be so if the person adapted his diet to his requirements and to the season. No sensible person would think of keeping- a large fire bnrninggin his room in the summer. If he did he would undoubtedly • soon feel the effect of it ; but many a man who would feel himself in- sulted if he were not thought a sensible per- son will est in the summer to repletion foods the particular action of which is to supply heat in excess. Perhaps I cannot do better here than to explain that the . foods that are converted into heat -that is, keep up the heat of the body—are starches, sugar and fat ; and those that more par- ticularly nourish' the nervous and muscular system are the albumens and ;salts ; and a perusal of or reference to a prepared table will show' what these are and also the , amounts of the different constituents they contain. At a glance the reader will see that the largeat propertion of sumiher food should consist of green vegetables, cooked or as salads ; white or lean meats, such as chicken, game, rabbits, venison, fish and fruits.
