Queer Prayers.
The modern rage for abbreviatio s,
eereially in the names of societies, si.aa
strikingly exemplified the other day at a
certain wornan's prayer meeting. 1
One of the, sisters, who is very m ch
interested in the Woman's Christ n
Temperance Union, the Woman's F r-
eign Missionary Society and the o -
meta Educational and Industrial Uni n,
prayed fervently, with a charming r-
_
easity that she would be understood

on State Street. Sauntering aboui at
the Art Clu.b exhibition recently he
chanced to meet a friend, a deaf mite,
who was conversing with a compa ion
in sign language. Greeting J. cordi
the deaf mute drew out a pocket
and pencil, and after a brief pencil
paper conversation, introduced his
panion by the same means, and sh
after withdrew.
J. and the gentleman discussed
pictures pleasantly for twenty min
or more, meanwhile covering the
of sundry envelopes and serape of p
with their pencilings, when at fo
character in this little drama came
the scene, a friend of J.'s new -made
quaintance.

acquaintance to the new -corner,

It is also a common belief that gos

cities. That proposition is, howev
yet to be demonstrated. Listen to

ia, gossip is the natural growth of p or
and empty minds, be they country b ed
or city bred, masculine or femini e.

choke out this tenacious little weed by
planting larger things. "The est
way," some one has said, "to eradi ate
a vice is to implant a virtue." , If his
is not sound horticulturally, it is nap al-
ly.
A mother'listening to the daily on-
versation of her daughter's school -ma es,
was seriously troubled by the exces ive
amount of this small -talk poured f • rth
from the mouths of these young g rls.
Trivial comments on the dress and ap-
pearance of their companions (too el-
dom seasoned with charity), report of
what she said and what he said of
where she went with one boy, and ow
she snubbed another, of what her mo her
let her do, and what another moth r—
awfully mean—would not let her 4a gh-
ter do—these things formed the arp
and woof of their conversation. d
this was not occasionally, but daily al-
most hourly, rarely and briefly inter-
rupted by allusions to more impor ant
matters.
" Dear," said the mother to her
daughter, "1 don't like to have you get
into the way of this contemptible go sip,
this reporting and commenting on the
affairs of others. If you have anyt ing
of tbe sort to say, I wish yQU would not
say it to the girls, but collie and say it
to me. I know sometimes it is hard not
to speak to some one about these things.
We will have a little gossip together
every day, if you please. But don't get
into the habit of talking freely, in mixed
company, of the concerns of others."
The daughter agreed, and the pro-
posed gossip in the mother's chamber
took place a few times. But one day
the child came smiling. "Mamma,"
she said, "I've thought of a better Plan
than yours. Let us not talk alpout

"Really, I don't know," he says.
"Probably my brother."
The conversation ends.
An Irishman's Opinion of a
Tricycle.
This happened one evening recently,
not a thousand miles from Cambridge.
Iwo tricyclers chanced to halt by the
roadside for a brief rest just as a group
of Irish laborers were passing on their
way home from work. Attracted by
the bright new machines, two of th4 men
paused a moment to look at them.
"if you had a tricycle, Pat," sa0 one
of the 'cyclers to the nearer of the men,
"you could ride to and from your em-
ployment."
"Ride to the divil !" said Pat, with a
contemptuous look at the combination of
man and wheels. " Do ye think I

A Neighborhood Sin.
An excellent way to stop gossip is to
stop it. Make an end of the matter.
Let it alone. Say no more about it,
either to wonder, to excuse, to moralize,
or to deplore. Drop the hissing secret
into the cool well of indifference. For-
get it.
There is a certain house set on a hill,
where two or three charming women
hold sway. Very animated and de-
lightful is the conversation one enjoys at
this house. Quick wit, delicate tact,
tender feeling, high sentiment, all these
have their part in it. Callers come
smiling from that door. They have been
amused, entertained, refreshed, often
strengthened. The moral barometer has
gone up. One( element is notipeably
lacking in the conversation of thiti fam-
ily- The trivial discussion of other
people's affairs, Which forms so large a
part of much of the conversation we
hear, does not enter into - the talk of
these women. Personal matters seem
by some magic never to get into it never
L
to be thought of. If, by any awIward-
ness, such matters are lugged i the
change of atmosphere is instantat;eous
and remarkable. These brilliant wo-
men become positively stupid. ' They
are not interested. They have nothing
to say. They look bored. One feels
that he has committed a faux pas of the
11
•
of my mind more easily if I say not
about them, even to you."
Wise girl! she had gone to the
root of the matter. Gossip is best
off, as the vigorous Hebrew proverb
dares of another vice, '" before 't is
meddled with."
Amusements.
In an article on the relation of C ris-
tianity to popular amusements, in the
last " Century," the Rev. VVashiugton
Gladden gives the following general
principles, by which eaph may d ter -
mine whether a particular fo of
amusement is or is not suitable in hs or
her case:
"1. Amusement is not an end, b
means—a means of replenishing
mind and replenishing the streng
the body; when it begins to be
principal thing for which one live
when in pursuing it the mental po
are enfeebled and the bodily healt
paired, it falls under just condemna
"2. Amusements that consum
hours which ought to be sacred to
are, therefere, censurable.
"3. Amusements that call away
work which we are bound to d

more. Within half an hour after im-
bibing it the drinker becomes perfectly
stupid, and lies around like a log. The
spell lasts a day or more, during which
time the natives say they live in para-
dise.
" ' Do white men drink it?'
" I have known sailors to try it, but
they never - tackled it twice. Three
years ago I hada man in my crew who
was driven crazy by one drink.'
"'What effect does it have upon the
natives.?'
"'Well, that is where the gagus dis-
plays itself. If you could see some of
the terrible examples of gagus-drinking
in Gauptil you would be horrified. The
first effect of the liquor is to soften the
bones and gradually eat them away.
There are natives there the victims of
gagus, who are indeed boneless and un-
able to walk or use their limbs.I They
then begin to wither away like this stalk
until they die in misery and convul-
sions."
Manitoba and Northwest
Notes.
—The Portage Tribune -Review says:
The farmers say that if the weather con-
tinues as favorable as it has been for the
crops this spring, harvesting will com-
mence about the lst of August.
•—The. town council of Portage la
Prairie has passed a by-law to impose a
license on the agents of eastern mer-
chant tailors who come there to take
orders for clothes.
—The Lethbridge News says: Several
rattlesnakes have been killed in this
vicinity this spring, principally in the
bottoms. Mrs. and Miss Kean despatch-
ed one in their garden on Monday last.
It measured about two feet, and had
eight rattles.
—Miss Ludgate, of Portage la Prairie,
found a revolver in one of the bedrooms
of their house. Taking it up she point-
ed it playfully at one of her sisters, say-
ing, "1 will shoot you now." The bul-
let struck her sister on the side of the
temple, passing under the skin of the
forehead and out at the other side. . She
is doing well, as no very serious injury
has been sustained.
---The assessor finds there are 3,116
people -in Brandon this spring, against
2,087 last year, a gain of 29. ' During
the year there have been 34 births and
33 deaths registered. Of the population
there are 370 married males and 378
married females, and 793 single males
and 577 single females. The assessment
is $5,816,530—$1,316,690 real estate,
$251,040 personal property, and $4,218,-
800 for buildings. .
—Two Englishmen named Pugsley,
who bought Dr. Hagarty's farm at Por-
tage la Prairie for $17,500, are buying
all the cattle in this district, and are
paying as high as $10 for little calves
and $80 for two and three year old
heifers. They are purchasing the cattle
for a stock farm which they have secur-
ed at Westbourne. Everybody seems
to have a craze for stock, and farmers
are reluctant to sell.
—The Manitoba branch of the Dom-
inion Alliance has issued a circular to
the temperance people throughout the
Province to meet in convention in Win-
nipeg on the 25th, 26th and 27th of this
month. The object of the convention
will be to formulate a temperance plat-
form, and to adopt measures for the en-
forcement of the new liquor law. The
circular asks the friends of temperance
not to pledge themselves to either
political party until the-, action of the
convention is declared.

Striking Pictures'
Saida New York photogra her, dis-
cussing the " posing ' of subjects under
the camera with a reporter of the New
York Sun:
"Here is a proof of a picture of a
hopelessly inferiorelooking woman who
is starring in the west with her own
company and making a great deal of
money. She fully appreciated the value
of a photograph as an advertising
medium, and as her own face—pure,
simple and unadorned—will never craze
the population, she has hit .upon the
scheme of showing only a part of it at a
time. Here are three of her own de-
signs."
The first represented a roguish and
grinning face with a mage- of tangled
hair, two rows of white teeth, and a
c
barely perceptible dimple. The face
looked out from beneath tw curtains
which were drawn down on either side
of it, meeting beneath the chin. There
Was something so frolicsome and gay
about the whole expression that one
smiled involuntarily on looking at it.
The effect was further heightened by
the cientrast of faces on curtains on either
side. Two faces were woven into the
curthins, and both of them were as sol-
emn and gruesome in expression as it is
possible to imagine. They were not
very distinct, and they served admirably
to give emphasis to the jolly face that
looked out from beneath them.
The second photograph represented a
section of a board fence. Roughly
painted on two planks were the words
"Ah, there !" and through a big crack
. between the boards could be seen one
eye, an eye -brow, and part of the nose
of the actress. 'There was something
extremely wide-awake and artful about
the eye, and the nose wpst wrinkled so
that it ' had a decidedly " tough " ex-
pression. Altogether the oddity of the
picture would cause people to look at it
twice before turning away. .
they cause us to be neglectful or unf ith-
f ul.
t
- "4. Amusements that arouse or tim-
ulate morbid appetite or unlawful pas-
sions, or that cause us to be restl4s or
discontented, are always to be avoided.
"5. Any indulgence in amuseinents
which has a tendency to weaken our re-
spect for the great interests of character,
or to loosen our hold on the eternal
verities of the spiritual realm, is, eh far
forth, a damage to us."
Worse Than Opium. .
If the story told in the San Francisco
" Call " is to be believed, the Malays are
victims of a narcotic of fearful ower
and deadliness, two years being u
enough to kill the healthiest man
ually
who
becomes addicted to its use. It the
Gagus plant, grown on Gauptil Island.
" In the interior this plant grows
wild, flourishing especially in the rocky
soil. It looks beautiful when growing,
as you might judge by the. bright- hues
with which it is spotted. _The ntain
stalk is covered with sharp nettle-like
protuberances, and a prick from one of
them will cause more pain than a hand-
ful of red pepper thrown in your eyes.
When young the plant consists of but
one stalk, which shoots up straight to a
height of four or five feet. It is a bril-
liant scarlet in hue. Toward winter a
number of offshoots spring out, until the
thing looks like a broom stood upright.
Green and purple specks then appear. all
over it. A grove of gagus shrubs is a
very pretty sight. But it is the pro-
perties of the plant which distinguish it.
Opiuin is a potent drug, but I will back
the extract from the gagus stalk to ef-
fect more damage on the human sys-
tem than all the opium in the world.
The natives cut the plant in the early
spring. After they have gathered a suf-
ficient quantity, they put it in large
worst description if, unwittingly, in this bowls and crush it with huge stones. A
parlor he drops into the familiar "they 'grayish sap runs out freely, and this

ment. The mouth was drawn down
the eyes opened to the fullest extent
and the long and, stringy hair hung over
the wet face. Everything was dripping
wet, and the whole appearance of th
face prepares one for the blood -curdling
shriek which woman bathers of a mor
beisterous sort give vent to 'after the

Waves at Coney Island. -
"These three pictures," said the pho
tographer, handling them -carefully
will advertise the originafrom on
end of America to the other. The pho
tograph as an advertising medium is
comparatively speaking, a recent idea
but it is, nevertheless, enormously effec
tive, and it grows more important eve
year. Now that plain women have- go
started in this line there is no telling
where their ingenuity will stop, for they
see the importance of catching the pub-
lic eye, and, as 1 said before, it is the
unlovely ones of earth's womankind who
possess the greatest atnount :of origin-
ality and brains."

The frauds that have beenperpetrated on the spectacle wearing public by most dealers Mid
pedlars giving assumed and fancy names to ordinary glass, speaks for the ignorance of the pubMc
generally in the all important subject of the preservation of the sight. There are only two artic es
from which spectacle lenses can be maunfactured, viz. Pebble and Glass. Call glass by any ot er
name it still remains glass. Pebble, on the other hand, is from Nature's own manufactory, It hi
natural crystal, found generally in freestone foundation, and is harder than the ruby and emera d,
and nearly as hard as the diamond. The pebble is nothing more nor less than a transparent stone,
cut by the aid of diamond dust, and the greatest amount of power is placed immediately over the
centre of the grain found in all pebble. It Will give to the spectacle wearer a coolness, freshness
and a pleasant feeling that the ordinary spectacle lenses cannot by any possibility impart.
