T Nantal, close under the
great sotfth wall of Eun
chan. lived Suen Mol, tbe
rjotot fUl, ip tt)e l?ouiex>f
hep fattier, the maker t>f
baskets. But he was old.
liia hApdf JUNft lost their skill, and. lie
"was Ilk* a'Mind fowl picklhg at ran
dom after worms. They would bare
been poor bad be not been aa careful
with bia eaah aa a btfeFwith Its honey.:
Suen Mol did not know, so she sold
violets that Heaven might bestow upon
her the hundred blessings. Her flow
ers grew in front.of the bouse, which
faced the'north, and she knew'the
flowers loved her, because when they
blossomed they always turned their
heads towards the door.
8he called the flowers her children,
gave them water when the. hot.aun
tried to scorch them, and kept the
weeds away. Every day she picked
th?' best ones and sold tbem, that her
patent* might not die poor. Whenever
ahe sold a bunch she always whis
pered: ?
"Nl-bo-clil-lok," that they might find
comfort In the parting.
"The flowers of 8uen Mol have
aouls," those at the market said.
"They know her voice and touch, and
when they pas a Into strange hands
they droop their beads and die.''
"But Snen Mol said they only wanted
water.
One morning, juat as she had fin
ished, a young man stopped at the
gate.
"Do you sell flowers?" he asked.
. "Yes, honorable ?lr." and she bowed
low, for she knew by his dress that he
was a man of rank.
"I want to buy some of yon."
She took the basket to him and held
It out that he might please himself.
He took one flower. Then from the
purse at bis belt be brought out a coin
which he dropped into her band. It
was a long ple**e of yellow metal
Ihaped like a knife. Upon It were
characters which Suen Mol could not
understand.
"It la too much," ahe said, like a
child that cannot calculate.
"I give It to you because you love
yonr flowers and are good to them."
answered the stranger.
She patched him mrloualy aa he
walked away, and then she looked at
the coin. When she went Into the
house she showed It to her parents.
"It la very entiont," said her father.
"There is one HOI# Jit in the museum at
Fuachan." v>*i
"It infold," aald her mother. "If
we baa three more we rhontfl be rich."
The nex{ morning Jhe stronger came
agftin. He cam* ofer to where Suen
Motmaa gathering flowcra, and said to
herr \ .
"Sea*, llol, Suen Mol, give me a
flower."
"I have picked the best for you,"
ahe answered blnahlng.
"Why have you ploked the best one?"
be asked.
"Beeansc 1 know you love flowers,
too." she answered.
"Do you know you are a flower?" he
I sked.
8he hung her bead. No one had ever
apoken like this to her before. ,
"Yon are aa beautiful as the flow
ers." he said. "Your heart Is pure and
sweet. I love you as you do the flow
ers."
"The stranger one !s at the gate t*iIk
ing to her," aald the father to his wife.
"I wonder If he will give her another
coin?" ahe amrwered. "Perhapa he
wants to buy her.'*
"You are like one who looka at the
heavens from the bottom of the well,"
he answered.
As he spoke she went to the door.
"She is bringing him In," ahe aald
alinrply. "We shall be disgraced."
Suen Mol entered with her basket.
The stranger followed. The old couple
kneeled and knocked their heada on the
floor became they ttfttfly see
that he wna a man of wealth.
"I hare come to announce my be
trothal to your daughter." he aald.
They were ao astonished they could
?ay nothing.
"Yon are net to nend her to the mnr
ket place to sell flowers. You are to
flnd a tlnahang who will teach those
thlnga Which ahe ought to know."
"Bnt we afe poor, honorable sir,"
aald the old woman, who could not
kelp thinking of the knlfe-abaped coin
of gold.
He took from his belt an embroidered
purse and laid It on the table.
"Yon are more wealthy than your
?elghbora," he aald.
Then be wtnt out. while the old
Women began counting the coins.

He walked down the road with the
rlolet la his hand, while 8uen Uof
walked sorrowfully Into the house.
Far three days aha grieved. The
flowers which grew In the garden
turned their face toward the door, as
If looking for her. hut she did nor
come to them.
?he black monater had laid his hand
una the Tillage.* It crept up the path

hand upon her couch. The fern came

they all dropped their heads. So she
i raved:
"Raise up your hesds; don't you

She did not know his name. She
turned to him.
"I cannot call you 'he.'" she said
"What Is your name?"
The blush seemed to come over ttfr

oily,jfta fever.

But the memory of all this passed
frit* h*-. V'* .. $
?j. Tha black monster has no meifey. It
jpa^'na soul, so It is continuously
searching for human ones. It took the
soul of Suen Mol and left the body for
the parents to shed their tears on. Bnt
as the soul passed down the path to the
pate the flowers raised their heads and
demanded it. and it went to them.
When the sunshoneon them the next
morning a young man stood at the Rate
waiting for Suen Mol. He had re
turned. He waited until he saw the
TOlte cloth across the door. Then a
terror came over him. He walked up
the path.
"Where Is my betrothed?" he asked
of the old woman.
??'She died of the scourge last night."
He turned and looked at the flowers.
"You bloom in purple?" he asked
softly. "You raise your heads in Joy
when she who loved you best Is dead."
He waved his hand gently over them
and they bowed their heads. "Why
should you not mourn?" he asked tliem.
and they shivered In the morning
breeze. "Mourn for her forever."
The old woman went In to light th?
candles, that the soul of Suen Mol
might find its way through the dark
ness of eternity, and when the funeral
procession passed down the path the
violets were white.?Waverley Maga

Saw Mo Joke.
Major Edwards, United States Con
sul-General at Montreal, recently paid
a flying visit to Washington and met
many of bis old friends at the Capitol.
The Major detailed many humorous
incidents of his experience in the met*
ropolis of "Our Lady of the Snows."
Among others, he told of the call for
a party of Canadians after the Alas
kan decision was made public. They
were, naturally, highly Indignant at
the decision, and one of thein said to
the Major: "Well, I suppose you'll try
and annex what there Is left of the
British possessions next."
"Oh, I don't know," replied the Ma
jor.
"Why, wouldn't you be In favor of
annexation?" inquired the speaker,
surprised at the Major's tone.
"Well, you see," replied the Major
slowly, "If Canada were annexed tc
the United States I would lose my
Job."
No smile greeted the reply, but the
Canadian who had asked the questlor
turned to his fellows and said very
gravely: "Gentlemen, I think wf
ought to do all in our power to make
Major E-'wards' stay In Montrea'
pleasant, and to facilitate bis work
lie Is drawing a salary from the Unit
ed States, which would cease If w?
were annexed, and therefore he wll*
oppose annexation. I think he is tin
kind of man we want to represent liif
country here and Cunada in the United
States."
Taking Ptarmigan by Pitfalls.
In Scotland there Is a way of takln?
ptnrmlngan, which seems ho simple
that It Is hardly credible that anj
birds can be so captured. Yet reliable
tvltneR.se* have spoken of It as sue

In chosen where ptariulngnn resort and
the snow lies sufficiently deep. With

holes are made In the snow aud the
bottom of each hole Is tilled wltt
grain. The ptarmlngans lean over tc
peck It out and tlnd themselves over
balanced mid caught head down Ir
the snow, unwilling prisoners, but mi
able to use their wings in petting out
again.
In Siberia wild geese are regularly
taken in pitfalls like these, but dux Id
the earth Instead of being poked In
the snow. The pits are dug on gras
sy places where the geese assemble,
and are shaped like flower pots, round
and gradually narrowing to the bot
tom. Baits of grain prove Irresistible
and the geese tumble headlong In and
then, being unable to extend thelt
wings, find that they cannot get out
again.?Chicago News.
Boron lnat*nd of C?rhnn.
A new lamp ttlament of special com
position has been brought out by Dr
Just, of Vienna, who lately presented
a number of lamps before the Electro
chemical Society, of that city. It seem*
that the new tliament contains boron
and Is made by a new process, the de
tails of which have not as yet been
made public. It Is claimed tha. it can
be tun ed out as easily as the carbon
filament. One point in favor of the
new lamp Is that it works at a much
higher effleleney than the carbon flla*
ment. A lamp was shown which
burned on 110 volts and stave thirty
candle power. It takes but 1.7 watts
per candle, which makes Its efficiency
about twice that of the carbou tll.i

New York City.?Combination* of
nivalin and lace always are charming,
bat never bare been more effective
than at this present time, when both
are offered Id an unprecedented vari
ety. The dainty waist shown Is made
of sheer white k'eraian lawn, with the
yoke and frills of Valenciennes lace,
applique of embroidery and belt of
messnllne satin, but the list of equally
satisfactory materials Is almost limit
less. The model Is an admirable one
and can be made, as Is this one, on
lined, or over the fitted foundation,
when it becomes suited to the many
soft silks and wools of the season. The
deep, scalloped yoke Is eminently be
coming, and the fall of lace below
makes a most graceful finish at the
same time that It adds to the breadth
of the shoulders.
The waist consists of the lininsr.
which Is smoothly fitted, front, hiit-ka
and yoke. Both front and backs are
fabrics. It la promised a continuance
of Ita rrlgn on wiah dreuses. A ltnen

The latest departure In the world
of fashion Is the silk tailor-made
gown. It la extremely "chic." The
colors most used are golden brown
and the popular green shades. One
handsome model was made with a
skirt of alx flounces, very flat at the
hips. The bolero on the bodice, alas
flounced, fell orer a high girdle^

? good deal of braiding In gold and
silver Is being put on smart jacketa,

sorts of silver chains, belts, buckles
and ornaments are to be wora with
the white summer gowns.

Shlrrlngs are still so mnch In vogue
In Paris, both for skirt and bodice

gathered at upper and lower edges
and droop over the full belt. The yoke
Is separate and arranged over the
whole and the sleeves are soft and
full, with groups of tucks above the
wrists which provide additional fulness
for the drooping puffs.
The quantity of material required for
the medium size Is four yards twenty
one Inches wide, three yards twenty
seven inches wide, or one and seven
eighth yards forty-four Inches wide,
with five-eighth yards of all-over lace,
flvo and one-half yards of lace, two
and one-half yards of applique and
one-half yard of silk for belt to make
as illustrated.
Color* For Hats.
Shades of blue, shndes of Bordeaux,
shades of green, shndes of pink, are
all favorite Ideas for the entirely
straw toque. It seenis agreed that cos
tume and hat shall make a compact
as to color, and on these lines one no
tices that the new sleeve frills are of
cliifTon, matching the fabric of the
frock or the coat and skirt in ques
tion. And this will be a very pretty
fashion, of which a charming vari
ation may be found In having the
chiffon flowered, although the ground
work matches the material of the
frock. For Instance, with a black
frock, frills' or rose-patterned black
chiffon, with a dark blue, frills of
white and pinky-flowered blue chiffon,
and then lace and chiffon may be
blended.
Th* Coin Spot of Or??n.
The coin spot of ?reen r. now In evi
dence on crash or organdy, and on the
useful foulard and also on the newer
mohairs. It looks best on a white or a
black ground. Fortunately the coin
spots are set at proper intervals, not
too close together. An ecru grji*s cloth
patterned with coin spots of ?>ol wil
low green, set at Intervals never closet
than Ave Inches apart, 1" one of the
successes of the season. A gown of
this sort requires but little trimming,
usually bands of the plain material,
not using the spotted parts, finished
with double row of shoemaker's stitch
ing.
For W?ah DrfMM.
That the bolero effect Is not near
Its end la shown by the models In thin
row Valenciennes trills and is unllned,
but the design suits soft silks and
wools equally well and can be made
over the fitted foundation whenever
preferred. The horlsontal tucks in
waist and sleeves are among the nota<
hie features of the latest designs, and
in addition to being effective, serve the
practical end of giving needed body
to thin fabrics. The belt Is one of the
new draped ones, and the waist blouses
over It most becomingly.
The waist consists of the lining, the
full front and backs and the deep scal
loped bertha. The shallow yoke is
formed by facing the lining to required
depth aud can be made transparent
by cutting the foundation away be*
neath, whenever such effect is desired.
The sleeves are simply full, shirred to
form frills at their lower edges.
The quantity of material required for
the medium size Is sis and three-fourth
yards twenty-one inchei wide, five and
one-half yards twenty-aeven Inches
wide, or three yards forty-four Inches

One of those connected with'the art

snd no building ss st Chicago, but In
all the manifold ramifications of ex

painters have done some of the finest
work on the Exposition buildings.
Women have hsd plsces on Govern
ment. State and other boards in the
collection of exhibits snd in the ex

are even women concessionaires, and a
woman contractor competed with men
in the actual physical construction of
the Exposition.**
Trade* For Wmiw.
?bout seventy years sgo a New York
restaurant hired a young woman as
cashier. She was the first woman
cashier In the city, and the restaurant
doubled its trade, because of the rush
to see a woman at the cashier's desk.

reports, there are women In practically
every trade and profession In the coun

The Pleasant Mother.
There are many conscientious fathers
and mothers who make themselves and
their children miserable by taking
youthful foibles too seriously. It is an
Innate propensity of a child possessed
of average pood health and spirits to
make older people laugh with him?not
at him. but at the things that seem
amusing to his own sense. And the
mother who has the blithe and ready
humor to enter into his fun becomes
his most fascinating companion. He
heeds her rebukes and benils to her
correction without Ill-feeling, where
sternness would arouse his pride and
Ire. for be is assured that she Is ready
to share all his innocent pranks, and
that her disapproval lins no foundation
In impatience or injustice. And when
the day arrives that "childish things
are put away" and the grown men and
women look backward to their early
homes, with what a throb of pleasure
they say. when things happen. "Mother
would appreciate this: she had the
quickest sense of hutuor of any woman
you ever suw!" And underneath these
light words I? the thought. "How
happy that dear mother made me, and
how I love her!"
What Girl* Can Pr?.
I am only a girl. What can 1 do?"
Is the exclamation one frequently hears
wheu some fair young creature Is
urged to bestir herself and accomplish
coine good for those about her. It Is
such girls as these who fall to realize
that It is the girl who does things in
this world who Is attractive, both to
men and to her own sex. which last
counts a little, too. in the long run.
You may not ba able to do great things,
to paint great things or to sing in grand
opera, but you can learn to make bright
little things, for yourself and your
friends, and perhaps to play the light,
"catchy" airs of the day so that your
friends will enjoy them, and If you
can't do anything else cultivate the art
of talking brightly and of being sym
pathetic.
KvJ?ry girl can do one thing well If
she will only take the trouble to find
out what thut thing is. The difficulty
Is that she often looks In the opposite
direction; she wants to do something
great and showy or nothing at all. Hut
there are other talents within reach If
she will, only look, and these talents
may be such a comfort to her In her
dark hours that they will make life
better ond happier both for her and
those about her.
How the world likes n cheerful,
plucky girl who makes o brave tight
and hides her skeleton In a closet In
stead of folding her hands and whin
ing because things don't come her way;
the girl who puts her own griefs as
much as possible aside? who takes a
wholesome Interest In life.

"It 1# certainly Advisable for the
women to remove their hats at meet
ing, and the woman who Is not willing
to do so lacks the true spirit of a Chris
tian."
A movement has been Inaugurated In
Chicago to Induce women to remove
their hat* at the Sunday service. If
successful, without effecting a change
In attendance, the movement will dis
pel a popular theory In regard to "fine
hat* and other garments Influencing
the large attendance of women at
church."
"I was r.entral In regard to this ques
tion," said the Rev. J. Cummlng Smith,
of the Tabernacle Church, "until I took
my vacation In Apurll.
k "It was during this vacation that t
sat la * pew la one of oar churches. Ia
float of me wti a pew filled by half a
dosea or more k>rely women, all wear
ing broad brimmed hata. I had to
atrala my Beck la order to aee the min
uter and the choir. It waa during this
aerrlce that I realised the adTlaablllty
of removing the hat. and accordingly
I at once took my stand on the ques
tion.
"I like to aee women and men well
dressed for church. In fact. I believe
those who can afford It should have
a costume of neat, reepectable appear
ing garments, especially for the 8unday
service, and look nice."
Dr. Allan B. Phllpntt. pastor of the
Central Christian Church, also ex
pressed himself aa "voting for re
moval."
"If women persist In wearing hata aa
large aa the full moon." said Dr. Phil
putt. I say It la certainly advisable to
take them off at the Sunday service.
"However. If they get a style smaller
In dimensions, ao that the people alttlng
behind them can see the speaker and
the choir. It will be a- different propo
sition. but one can never tell before
hand to Juat what alse the styles will
run.
"People at church like to see tha
minister In the pulpit and the minister
likes to see the people whom he Is ad
dressing. but the wearing of large hata
by women prevents this. Therefore 1
must declare for taking them off."?

Tou aee. the athletic ahlrt waist la
not merely a fashion whim, says the
Indlanapolla Newa. It is really the ex
presalon of an Improved aodal condi
tion.
You have to take It seriously, because
it stands, really, for good sense and
comfort and 1a smart jufet by chance.
And so It is worth living up, or rather,
in to.
If you have no chance nor time for
golf, for the sake of your shirt walM
do all you can to acquire the athletic
figure In some other way. There are a
few very simple things* than any girl
can do every day of tier life, without
Instruction, that will count a lot in im
provement of her appearance.
She can learn to stand and walk and
sit correctly, and these things will from
the first day prove beneficial. And
tlicy are all so easy and normal.
She should stand with her spine
straight, her hips back, abdomen
drawn to a line with waist, chest high,
always high, every minute of her life,
shoulders back and down?and she has
in the first hour's practice the begin*
ning of the athletic figure.
This pose should never be lost in
walking or sitting. Don't telescope
when you sit down. It's neither rest*
ful nor graceful.
Sit straight, and if you lean back
let your shoulders, not the hollow of
the back, touch the chair. Sit as
though you had springs in your hips,
not wooden joints. It is possible to
ruin tlio tit of the prettiest shirt waist
by sinking into a heap when you sit
down.
Having the right poise of the body,
hold it when you walk. Step .lightly
on the ball* of the feet, and take an
easy, fairly long, swinging step.
It Is really no more intrinsically mod
est to walk with a short step than it
Is to have a small mouth: at least there
are other expressions of lofty feminine
Ideals equally convincing to admiring
men. So walk freely and comfortably,
if you like to. resting assured that your
ethical standards will l?e unshaken.
And learn to breathe right.
The New York girl gets her splendid
lung capacity from her outdoor life.
She breathes right, because In the main
she Uvea right, but there is no reason
why every girl should not know tn use
her lunga and Improve her health and
beauty aa a result.
If your chest Is held high, as Is nee
essory for correct standing, then you
have the proper position for good
breathing. At the start regularly prac
tice breathing before an open window.

Two CkHH iMdwIehM.
A circular cracker, of the variety
known as water thin. Is crisped In tho
oven. It Is then spread with rich
cream cheese, rtther thickly, and
topped with a layer of ruby bar-ie-duc*

floating In a delicious thin jelly. The
other cheese sandwich consists of two!

and freed from crust. The filling Is
prepared by rubbing some cream
cheese very soft aud blending It with
minced watercress and two table*
spoonfuls of mayonnaise dressing. The
brown bread sandwich is served on
a crisp lettuce leaf. It Is a tasty and
delicious sandwich for summer lunch*

A Short Cat to MarauUA*.
To slice oranges and lemons in the
process of making marmalade, there
Is nothing better than an ordinary car*
penter's plane, an Instrument which 19
found In almost all households In the
larger or smaller form. The older
wooden planes are preferable, as they
do not discolor the fruit as the mors
modren all Iron plane would do. To
use, invert the plane over the pan in
which the marmalade Is to be made.
Take the whole fruit and move It bact(
and forth over the knife, removing the
seeds as they appear. This will give
slices equal to those made with tho
very expensive marmalade machine,
though with slightly more trouble, but
much more quickly and easily than
with an ordinary knife. The piano
blade should be sharp and properly,
adjusted before commencing tho silo
ing. An Individual once trying this
short cut will never use the ordinary
kitchen knife again, for the ease and
rapidity with which the fruit is sliced
is marvelous.?Boston Cocking School*
