whistles, you would find it possible to

of deep glens, which are not bridged

impossible for the inhabitants on sepa-

Employments That Should Be Avoided
by People with Weak Eyes.
The changes which come to the eye
as a result of age are beyond the pow-
er of the individual to remedy. It is
true that the time for the wearing of
glasses may be hastened by abuse of
the eyes, but with all possible care
that one may take, the eye that hither -
to has been normal, will need shortly
before, or it may be shortly after, the
the age of forty-five the aid of glasses.
So universal is this that an oculist, in
his examination of the refraction of
the eye of his patient, can determine
accurately the number of his years.
The responsibility of much eye trou-
ble, however, can be brought directly
home to the individual. It is due to
the reckless expenditure of the eye-
sight. The service of the eyes is de-
manded in any and every light. The
eyes are most tried by reading fine
print or doing the fine stitches of sew-
ing or embroidery. If the print is on
glossy paper whose smooth surface re-
flects the light the effect is bad upon
the eyes. If the embroidery is to be
done on satin or upon canvas, with its
bewildering maze of meshes, the strain
is soon shown in the redness and the
weariness of the eyes. Women’s eyes
suffer greatly from the tax of veils. It
only shows the great adaptability
which the eyes share with every other
part of the body that the veils, with
their intricate meshes and numerous
dots of embroidery and chenille, do
not occasion more trouble with the
eyes than they do. The first thing to
do in selecting a veil, if one has mer-
cy on the eyes, is to test its effect upon
the sight, to see that the weave is not
confusing and that the dots do not
come athwart the eyes.—Harper’s Ba-
zar.

Mr. John W. Needham, county clerk
of Berrien county, Mich., is making a
snug fortune out of his marriage li-
cense fees. Michigan’s marriage laws
are lax. Wisconsin’s legislature has
passed a law which prevented secret
marriages in the state. Chicago’s
sweethearts seem to have a dislike to
being married in their native town. Mr.
J. H. Graham, president of an excur-
sion line with boats running between
Chicago and St. Joseph, suggested to
Needham that he make that town the
Gretna Green of Chicago.
Needham advertised extensively in
Chicago papers, setting forth the ad-
vantages of being married in St. Jo-
seph. Owners of the excursion line
announced that they would furnish
free on certain days orders on the
county clerk for marriage licenses •
any of the passengers. The result was
all that could be expected. Needham
has been kept busy ever since issuing
licenses. His residence across the
street was crowded with couples who
were being married.
It became necessary to set apart a
"bridal room.” Mrs. Needham, the

Notes from the Paris Exposition.
“The Singer Manufacturing Com-
pany, of 149 Broadway, New York,
show their usual American enterprise
by having a very creditable exhibit,
located in Group XIII, Class 79, at the
Paris International Exposition, where
they show to great advantage the cele-
brated Singer Sewing-Machine which
is used in every country on the globe,
both for family use and for manufac-
turing purposes. The writer was high-
ly pleased with this-display and ob-
served with much satisfaction that it
was favorably commented upon by
visitors generally.
The Grand Prize was awarded by
the International Jury to Singer Sew-
ing-Machines for superior excellence
in design, construction, efficiency and
for remarkable development and adap-
tion to every stitching process used
in either the family or the factory.
Only One Grand Prize for sewing
machines was awarded at Paris, and
this distinction of absolutely superior
merit confirms the previous action of
the International Jury at the World’s
Columbian Exposition, in Chicago,
where Singer machines received 54
distinct awards, being more than were
received by all other kinds of sewing
machines combined.
Should it be possible that any of
our readers are unfamiliar with the
celebrated Singer Machine, we would
respectfully advise that they call at
any of the Singer salesrooms which
can be found in all cities and most
towns in the United States.”
ter special trains and go to St. Joseph.
The latest club was formed at Misha-
waka, Ind., and 21 couples will go to
St. Joseph next week on a special
train. Two ministers and one justice
of the peace have been engaged to per-
form the ceremonies.
According to the laws of Michigan,
the county clerk receives $2,000 a year
and the marriage license fees. The le-
gal price is $1, but the usual price paid
is $2. Nearly all the couples arrive
on the Chicago boat. The excursion-
ists are met at the wharf by a police-
man,who escorts the prospective bride-
grooms to the county clerk’s office and
house. At the house the couples sit
on the broad piazza in comfortable
chairs and await their turns, like the
patrons of a barber shop. When the
new arrivals have been seated for five
or ten minutes the minister or justice
of the peace sticks his head out of the
door and calls out the name of the
next couple, adding, “Step lively,
please. You’re next.”
Mr. Charles F. Clark, a nephew of
ex-Senator W. A. Clark, married Ina
Jay Flower there a few days ago. The
Rev. Dr. Thomas McRoberts of the
Congregational church performed the
ceremony in the bridal room of Need-
ham’s house. They said they wished
to get married without the formalities
of a big wedding. Needham has serv-
ed two terms as county clerk. He will

Jack almost forgot his audience as
the recollection of that day and hour
came back.
“It was the merest accident in the
world, her coming at that late hour
in that unfrequented bayou. I was
worn out and I was lost.
“She came down in the bayou sing-
ing some church cant in her glorious
voice, then piloted me home, and
saved my life,” Jack concluded,
abruptly.
"Are you engaged, Jack? What does
Madame la Comtesse say?”
“I came with a message and a note
from her,” Jack said, putting his hand
in his coat pocket. "The wedding will

The women’s clubs of Chicago have
opened e model lodging house for
women. It is one of the first practical
attempts in the city to carry out the
plans which social economists have
been working in other large towns.
The house carries out the idea of omit-
ting charity and affording an honest
means of existence. Women do not
lodge free in the house, nor are they
sent away if they have no money.
Work is provided, and the price of a
day’s lodging is 15 cents, or its equiv-
alent in work. Fifteen organizations
are interested in the work, and the
women will try to interest the public
in establishing such houses in many
parts ol the city.

not find a handle, as was shown by
Count Uvaroff when he found an ex-
cuse for warning an editor enemy by
citing his eulogy of Pushkin. The edi-
tor had said nothing against the gov-
ernment implying disrespect or criti-
cism of the government in his article,
but Uvaroff found that Pushkin “had
no position in the government service,
was neither a captain nor a head of
department and was only a verse
writer.” So the editor was “warned,”
and a warning is a serious thing, for
it means that the next offense may be
punished summarily by the suppres-
sion of the paper. Thus one paper, the
Gazeta Gatzuka, was warned once and
then suppressed for “want of respect
for the nobility.” The motive of a
minister’s refusal to authorize a new
publication are sometimes curious
enough. For instance, not more than
three years ago the permission to pub-
lish a private newspaper in Tamboy
was refused on the ground that the
necessity for such a publication there
“has not ripened yet,” and that “the
local official paper is quite efficient for
the place.” Sometimes a refusal is
based on the fact that the local censor,
having various other official duties has
work enough without a new paper.—

Maude Sefton was furious with Jack
Hamilton for his absurd conduct of
the night before.
“It’s easy to see, my dear, how and
why she has taken society by storm.
I wonder if Jack Hamilton had met
her before? His attentions were en-
tirely too conspicuous’,” said Julie.
“He knew her before. Where could
they have met?” she repeated, mus-
ingly.
Maude Sefton bit her lips and a
gleam of distressed anger flashed from
her handsome eyes.
There was a ring at the hall door,
and Julie’s answering flush empha-
sized sufficiently who the caller must
be.
“Tell us about the beautiful mys-
tery,” Mrs. Sefton said, going forward
with outstretched hands. “Julie and
I are dying to know if she ever had a
flower stand, as some say, on Broad-
way.”
“Shall I tell you how she has lived?”
he asked after a pause, controlling
himself and his voice with difficulty.
“She has spent the beautiful years
of her young life in doing lofty deeds
of purest charity.”
Jack pulled up with a short laugh.
“Would you mind telling us where
you met—a—Miss de Morillac?” Maude
asked.

When Jack Hamilton sprang up the
steps his was an effusive greeting
from Antoine, who announced special
culinary preparations in his honor.
“Mr. Drouhet’s back again, sir.
Mademoiselle’s at the cottage, too,”
Antoine said, while hustling around
the sideboard with ice and lemons anti
various decanters. Jack laughed.
The mists of the marshes beckoned,
and he followed.
Nearing the cottage on the knoll,
Jack drew a long breath of utter and
perfect content.
On the steps leading down into the
lapping water stood a slender young
girl waiting for him, as he had so
often seen her in his dreams.
“Ah! Fauvette! Fauvette!" Jaek
whispered.
“The church will be a bower of
flowers. And we will have grand music
and the children will have tables set
out under the trees, and the whole vil-
lage will rejoice,” Pere David said,
joyously looking with a loving pride
at Tonie, as she stood on his narrow
porch with Jack Hamilton the next
day.
And listening to her’ gay, sweet
voice and loving plans for the future.
Pere David whispered a voiceless
prayer. S. RHETT ROMAN.
