John Lawrence aat at hli atudy Uble, leaning on hU elbow, his usually buay pen held idly between hia finger. He gazed far over the plain, a trancelike eiprea alon in hia thoughtful eyes; be belleTed that the time waa coming when those plain would be peopled, and, with the hopefulness which made hia mlsslon ary life beautiful, he seemed to see the church leading, inspiring and min istering to these people. Already be had vision of a school wherein his own wife should be the ruling spirit; visions of a hospital, a guild-house and club-rooms, where these savages might grow less savage. Even the fact that thus far ouly one poor little wooden church building was to be found iu many miles did not in the least inter fere with hi dreams. How long he might have dreamed, no one knows, but he was recalled by a delicious voice calling In to him: I am twenty-two Inches around the waist, John, and my skirt length is forty-lhree. You know you asked me yeaterday." "Sure enough." he answered, with a little start, taking up the tapeline which lay conspicuously on bU desk. "flJA WIFE CAME If, FEATHER DCSTEB IK HASD." "I must get that letter off to-day; but I'd better measure you myself. You probably measured with a string. That' the feminine wuy, I believe." Hi wife came in, feather duster in band, and a be drew the line about ber waist be dropped a kiss upon her forehead. "I hope they will send something pretty." Mr. Lawrence burst into laughter. The idea of anything pretty in a missionary box, John! Who ever beard of it? It's against the nature of thing. Perhaps ifs wicked, but I have sometimes thought that they made them as ugly as possible. Do you remember the snuff-colored dress ing Jacket with the black fringe?" "Wasn't that pretty?" he queried. "I always thought It was very elegant, ex cept when the fringe dipped in the cof fee." "You dear dreamer! You don't know what is pretty. You don't see anything but your beloved Sunday school and night clashes and sick people. A rheu matic old Indian woman is beautiful to you if " "If she is a Christian! Yes, I admit It" he said, gently; "all of God's crea tures are beautiful to me, and one of them most beautiful,'' and again be gave ber a loving caress and resumed his work. "Sheets, pillow cases, street suit for my wife, clerical suit for self, over coat I bate to ask for that, but it is such a necessity in this bleak land." He read once again the friendly let ter, in which he had been urged to make known all his needs, assuring him that they would be supplied, so far as possible, by a branch of the Woman's Auxiliary. These boxes, which bad so irked the pride of many a missionary, never of fended John Lawrence. He gave little thought to self. His Divine Master bad lived on alms, and his own horizon was too rich, too broad, for any petty egotism to create even a speck upon It; but he sometimes reflected with re gret his wife keenly disliked this phase of missionary life, lie could not forget at times, that he had taken her from a luxurious home; but bnd be not given her a greater opportunity to do God's work? and was she not do ing It sweetly and uncomplainingly. He would try to believe that she did not care. In the meantime, Mr. Lawrence was dusting the sitting room, and she had come to standstill before a little ivory minuter of herself, the price of which weak) almost have paid for everything la their modest home. It waa mad ten years before, when she bad Jaa Imsfced school and was arch If cteraaUsf la that dainty (own. How mating tt was, and bow much be 'fcaj js3hM fear hi ft! XXsa, to Car asfCttag else yea t I ! CASHMERE GOVti iH I I I I IH want? We are to mention everything we need, and they will supply us as far as possible." "Yes," she called, a little sarcas tically, "please tell them I need very much a pale blue cashmere gown;" and then she smiled at the absurdity of such a request from a missionary' wife. "Imagine the consternation that would create," she thougfht "If be really would ask for such a thing." She replaced the miniature with a sigh. Was it a crime to love pretty thing? And would she ever have any again? Her trousseau was long ago exhausted, and now she lived and moved and bad her being In black things and browu things, and all things that wouldn't show dirt. b. dear! but blessed afterthought! wouldn't she rather be the wife of John Lawrence, In black brilliHiitines and brown surges, than anyissiy cise in the world? The president of St. Mary's Auxil iary was rapping loudly for order. She was reading a letter saying that the Rev. John Lawrence would be deeply grateful for a suit an overcoat etc. It was when she came to the overcoat that the confusion arose; for one lady had a practically new overcoat which her present coachman, being stout could uot wear. It was exactly the Kev. Mr. Lawrence's size, but being a surtout she questioned whether it would be the correct thing for clerical wear. The entire auxiliary set itself to argue this point when the president stopped them. "Ladles, we can discuss this matter later. Let me finish reading this let ter. "Where was I? 'Sheets, pillow caes, table linen, and' what is this 'a pale blue cashmere gown" " A pale blue cashmere gown! Had she asked for ao automobile coat the request could not have produced more surprise. There was a deep silence. Even the president found nothing to say for some time. "A little unusual." she finally said. "Welt I never had a pale blue cash mere gowu in my life," gasped some one. "Pale blue! So perishable!" another said, feebly. "And cashmere! So out of style!" a third added. "She must be some poor little coun try soul," the secretary said. "Well, whoever she is, she ought to be reprimanded. The idea of such worldllness In a missionary' wife!" "He should have known better than to have asked for it!" "The Idea of our money going for a pale blue cashmere gown!" So the comments went around, till everybody bad had her say; some of them bad had two or three "says," and they were seemingly gasping for breath to say something even more se vere, when a bombshell fell In their midst: "Why shouldn't she have a pale blue cashmere gown? She Is probably a young woman, and maybe has not a single pretty thing! Ob, gracious!" and the speaker grew so energetic that sue iitnt iiiu n iwu laOiug tueiu. uer face rosy with excitement. "I have helped with box after box iu this so ciety, and never have I seen a really pretty thing go into one of them ! They are so deadly practical. How it will wear, how it will wash, whether it will show dirt I sympathize with this woman away out there among those Indians, dependent on us bard-hearted things for the little she wants. God knows," she added, even more earn estly, "where they get the grace to sus tain them in their work! As for this gown" her voice tremble a little "let us give it to ber. Cashmere is cheap, and just Imagine ber pleasure; and do you know, I think a pretty gown would have a cheerful effect on loth herself and her husband. Perhaps it might even convert a few more Indians!" Khe sat down, a little embarrassed by the feeling she bad shown. "We might make ber a mother bub bard, if you are so bent on It" some one said, doubtfully. "Made up plain ly It would not cost much." "But it mustn't be a mother bub bard. I wouldn't doom even a woman living among the Indian to that! If we send it at all, let it be pretty. Let ua put our hearts Into it and make it a beautiful surprls; for her. She will probably expect something ugly, if she expects It st all." MI don't knoWwhy weshould dis criminate this way la favor of Mrs. John Lawrence. We bare never done It before.'' A severe voice threw s damper en the proceedings. lira. Jofca Uwrraea," echoed an ether; "pray let me see that letter. Mia. John Lawrence waa an honor student in my class at college in 1S. and 1 believe I am safe in saying that there is no one here who could surpass ber in either Intellect or beauty. I remem ber now that she married a missionary enthusiast and went out to those wild cheerfully" The speaker crossed the room rapidly and approached the advo cate of the blue gown. "I will gladly help you with the gown, and we will make It beautiful as a dream." How quickly the Idea became infec tious! Everybody offered to do some thing or to give something! It was al most as delightful a dressiig a doll! St Mary's Auxiliary had turned out many a box. but never had anything aroused such interest a this new bit of work. It became a fad; with it silken linings, iu dainty frills of lace. It "fagoting" and exquisite accessor le, the beautiful Empire gown lay complete. The Auxiliary women who were packing the box stopcd frequent ly to admire and almost to care It. "I bate to see It go." said the secre tary. "It has done us more good than any thing we ever did. What a lovely idea It was!" the treasurer said. "I don't begrudge the money at a!!." "Let me fasten this In." Some one Iwiit over the gown and tacked In a little sachet of violet. "And I must slip this handkerchief into It bosom;" another deftly tucked an embroidered kerchief Into its folds. "I have written this note to my dear old friend, and have told her what a pleasure this has leen;" and the note, too, was pinned to the blue gown. Ami so, with little final adjustment and puts of admiration, the blue gown, soft and rustling and enve!oed In white tissue paper, was put into its Individ ua! box. and shipped away, with more practical things, to the laud of the Indians and the plains. Mr. I-awreuce came what discouraged from home some her sewing school one afternoon, to find ber house in great disorder. Everything was covered with clothes it seemed. Th lox had come, and ber husband bad lost no time in opening It. The street suit for which she bad asked confront ed her from the bookcase; dark, neat and serviceable. She examined It with enthusiasm. "They were so good, weren't they, John?" "Good! My dear, the Auxiliary Is al ways good. Now, don't say anything about your brown sack with the black fringe! The Auxiliary well, you know what I think of it! See! They have sent us everything, even to the last thing on the list your blue cashmere gown!" He handed her the box. "My pale blue cashmere gown! John Lawrence! You didn't really write that did you? Oh, what must they have thought?" She sank into a chair, pale and distressed. "I think Uie dress tells what they thought" He lifted the delicate gar ment as If it were a baby. "Silk! Lace! Perfume! A train! John, I can't believe it is mine! And I can't help crying! I didn't mean it. I said it In a half-Joking, half-cynical way, never thinking you would ask for it 1 wouldn't have dared to ask for it and see how they have repaid me for my unfalth! Everything Is so beautiful, so dainty! There' so much love in It John! That' what touches me. It means the love of women who saw in me only a servant of God. When you write, tell them this means more to me than anything that ever happened." I .ate that night she sat with ber old, friend's note. She had written a long, heart-full letter. She turned to ber husband with moist eyes: "I don't believe I ever told you be fore, John; but It Is very sweet to -be a missionary's wife." Living Church. VALUE OF OLD MEN. They Hhould Not Be (sneered at, Even in a Young Man's Country. America is the young man's country, we are told, because so many of the conspicuous figures amongst us are young men. The tiling Is said conven tionally, as if there were some moral virtue in being young: as if, too, the greatest tragedy In American history was not the death some forty years ago of half a million men In the prime of life, which deprived our generation of It wisest counselors. Experience 1 the 011I7 school which gives a degree honored of all men, and a man of tbree-score, with the rigor of life still in him, should be the most useful citi zen of a community. The awful eatastorphe at Baltimore furnished a splendid Instance. The conflagration had been raging for twelve hours. Chief Horton of the Fire Department bad been disabled by a live wire. The fighters were without a head. Then William C. McAfee, vet eran fire chief, retired for age and ad counted an old man, offered his ser-i vices to the Mayor. They were accept ed.

"There will be h I to pay If the firo gets Into that rosin," yelled McAfee through hi trumpet ' If enough of you men will follow me, we'll go In there and dump the whole outfit Into the bay." They followed the leader snd they saved East Baltimore. Frank I .exile's Monthly. If a woman doesn't show ber age 14 ber face, ask to see ber arm.

Thomas Moore. EXPENSE8 OF A PRINCE. What Jt Coats Britain' Hoyal Heir to Live. The popular Idea about a royal prince Is that be Is un exalted person ige, with a magnificeut Income, says Hour Glass. There Is, however, an other asect of the case, concerning pvhlcb many people are In Ignorance, hamely, the enormous expenditure In- artably connected with a princely abllshmeut. The following authentic letalls as to what It costs the Prince if Wales to live may, therefore, prove Instructive to the general reader. It Is hot generally known that there are tbout eighty servants employed In the rince' household, and the wages of these people aggregate not less than tlO a week. Out of this sum the hoyal chef receive 2X) a year, the butler a similar amount and two of the stewards 150 apiece, in addition to special perquisite. Tbeu there is the cost of provisions, electric light ing and other domestic expenses, which Involve a further outlay of at least .'100 a year. It Is also essential that tils royal highness should keep a good stable, and the maintenance of thirty kiorses, carriages, grooms, coachmen and other attendants will readily ac count for another 300 of bis Income. . During the Ixmdon season, also, the f.lng's eldest son is naturally expected 0 give a certain number of bouse par lies, and it need scarcely lie said that these entertainments must be in every way consistent with the regal position of the distinguished host In addition lo these parties, the present prince, like his father, gives several royal balls every year, the total cost of which mean a further serious Inroad In bis Income. Again, It Is ouly reason able to expect that his royal highness Mil l'C one of the best dressed gen tlemen in the kingdom, aud this de sirable qualification is only attained by Judicious expenditure. For exam ine, it may lie stated that the Prince of Wales generally dons a new suit (if clothes twice a month and a new Hlk hat about the same period. He liever wears a pair of bwt more than half a dozen times, and these are of superfine quality, at 2 guineas the pair, lie rarely uses a pair of gloves for juore than one occasion, and his hosiery kind other clothing are sulliclently ver satile and multitudinous in character o start a man In business. In all prob ability 1,000 a year would barely (over the princely expenses for cloth ng. But even this estimate docs not meet the cost of those naval and mili tary uniforms which the prince lias to liurchase In order to appear In bis va rious official capacities in connection With the British army and navy, am for these splendid garments, some of Khlch cost 100 each, at least another 500 a year must be added to the ex penditure. Another Important Hem of expendi ture Is that represented by gratuities to servant when the prince and prin cess become the temporary guests of (other royal fsmllles, eltlier at home or abroad. Take, for example, a visit to the Csar of all the Itusslas, which, spart from traveling expenses, would mean at least 100 In roysl tips among the countless servants of the Masco .Vita monarch. It la not a matter of iiaaaral kaowladga that whoa the Prince of Wale was receiving hi ed ucattoo at tamonoge ue an Income of 3 0tji a year. He was of S frugal disposition, ami managed to maintain the dignity of hi positiou Ithout running into debt; on the con trary, it Is stated that ne actually aved money out of bis allowance. ANCHORING A SAND DUNE. Worthlcaa UuU Aloag the aa Cosw Heiag Hcclaiased. So much attention ha been directed to the work that I being done in re claiming the arid and send arid lands of the West that the reclamation work along the Atlantic coast is almost en tirely overlooked, says the Philadelphia Record. The familiar sand dune, characteristic of the coast from Cape Cod to Cape Fear, while perhaps ar tistic, constitute a menace to adjacent cultivated land and are useless in themselves. Massachusetts, at considerable - pense, ha been endeavoring 10 rP - claim the sand dune that rorm so 1 large a portion of the "province land" on Cape Cod. It ha been fonnd that sand 1 readily bound together by graw roots, and that if sturdy varletle of gras suitable for sandy soils are plant ed and cared for while obtaining a foothold and maturing, they will grad ually cover large areas, transforming them from shifting, worthies lands In to fertile fields. Mauy years of for estry work n Europe has shown that after the grasses have made a start trees can tie successfully raised on these erstwhile sand piles, which may thus be made to yield a revenue. Some of the most extensive and mobile sand dunes In the United States, however, are found In tha West, and It I the ambition of the Bu reau of Forestry to cover these with Iiermanent forest growths. Along the Columbia river, In Washington, th sand Is very light In character, owing to the large proportion of mica It con tains, and consequently Is easily blown about by the winds. Iu a portion of the lower Columbia river valley great orchards have been actualy Ingulfed with the shifting sands, and the rail roads have experienced great diffi culty In maintaining their tracks la this district In passable condition. In order to make a practical test as to the best method of treating thes dunes, a strip of land on the Columbia river between Willow creek aud tin John Day river bus been set aside by the government for extensive experi ments based on the work done by Mm- anchusett. referred to above. In th East tree-planting plans for owners o( sandy tracts are being prepared, thul extending the scope ofthe practical co operation begun by the Bureau of For estry. HAVE NO VALUE ON SHIPS. Lightning Hods Ik Not Protect Veeli from the Klectric Fluid. Several European shipping period I cals are advocating the use of light nlng rods on ships which convey explo slve compounds. One of these papen notes that on a receut voyage the fore mast of the Umbrla was struck bj lightning, which shattered it to bits The writer of the article stated thai "If the ship had been fitted with light nlng conductors the current woul have been deflected from the ship." The value of lightning rod for shlpt was investigated by Captain Folger, ol Nantucket, Mass., a brother-in-law ot Benjajnln Franklin, the Inventor 01 the types of lightning rods hi com mot use the world over until a few yean ago. After Folger, many other Amerl can and British shipmasters stud let the lightning rod question, with tlu final reeult that thousands of expert ments with masts fitted with HghUilii rods adduced the belief that they an of no value In warding off lightning. As s matter of fact, abundant evl deuce exists In the archives of Amer lean, British and French scientific so cletiea that thousands of ships pro vtded with lightning rods were struct by lightning. Time was when nava and army magazines were fitted wltl lightning rods. That practice end years ago. It is only among beileven in the efficacy of plasters for the bad and side, blood purifiers, divining rodi asd fortune tellers that confidence i: lightning rods exists. Syren and Shis ping. Babies.
