Woman With tlte Sable Furs
?
1 had scon her afain and again, thi>
woman "with the sable furs. Sometimes
she was entering or leaving
her carriage. I hcn 1 would jkiss
her face to face <>n the street. I ler
hearing was that of a <|iieen. Her
.tailored skirts-were always of the
finest broadcloth and her coat of:
rich iur.
I mentally shrugged my should-,
er every time I passed her. She impressed
me as excedingly haughty,
self-sufficient, and overhearing. So
I set her down in my own mind,
without knowing aright about hey. j
Some one asked me. to assist with j
a church supper. I had promised,'
and on the evening arranged for it
1 was flying about, assisting in littlej
rhinos.
The supper room was 'crowded.!
The places at the tables were taken,!
and many were waiting their turn. j
I saw the woman with the sahJe furs!
come in and look about with her;
haughty, self-sufficient glance. As!
her eye swept camly over the room,
it gave the impression that it saw
everything there was to be seen. It j
gave its clear, broad sweep, and
rested at last upon the table where j
two young women with little chil-;
dren in their arms were trying to j

dressed. They looked careworn j
and overworked. They were getting!
little enjoyment from their suppers, j
for their year-old babies pulled at j
the plates and clutched at the forks, j
The woman with the sable furs
looked upon them. 1 turned away!
disgusted, for 1 fancied I read the:
scorn in her face.
Busied with serving", the little in-1
cident passed from my mind. After j
a few minutes I returned to that!

end ot the tabic. J ne two young i
women were eating their supper j
with an expression of satisfaction
and ease. The babies were not with
them1.
"Where are the children f I asked.
"A lady offered to take care* of
them until we finished." was the reply
s
I turned away. As I passed the
open door leading into a small classroom
T saw again my lady with the
sable furs. She sat at the piano, a
child resting comfortably against
each arm. She was striking the keys

low*that only the babies and I heard
The babies were cur^lin^- witb
laughter. Thev rubbed' their cheek- i
against the soft fur and called it j
"Kitty-kit."
Several weeks .passed before I
saw he again. This time it was in
the crowded station at a junction.

of people stood in the centre of the
robm waiting* the incoming train.
A querulous old body sat back ir>
a corner seat. She smelled of snufi"
and tobacco. She wore a knitted
hood of the stvle of a quarter century
back. Her shawl was heavv
aud cumbersome. She had.come in
on the eleven o'clock accommodation
after a ride of several wearv
hours, and was conupelled to wait
until three o'clock for the train on
the main line.
' "But I had a fine dinner," she told
mc with satisfaction. "At the hotel
everything you could think of. and
servants, and all fixed up to kill."
"Yon did not go alone!" I ex-|
claimed. The only hotel of any
importance was several squares
away.
*'Xo, a lady took me. She came
in on the same train I did. When
she knew I was alone, she invited
me to go. She said I shouldn't
worry. She'd see I got on the train
all right. I'm slow and a bit uncertain."
I moved away, wondering what
good fairy had put it into some one's
mind to make the old woman's day
happy.
When train time came T knew it
was niv lady of the sable furs. She
led the old woman away, and I saw j

Song: of Sixpence.
Yon all know this rhyme, but have
you ever heard what it really;
means:
The four and twenty blackbirds
represent the twenty-four hours.
The bottom of the pie is. the world,
while the top crust is the sky that
over-arches it. The opening' of the
pie is the dawn, when the birds begin
to sing, and surely such a sight
fit for a king.
The king, who i- represented a

pieces that slip through his lingers

sunbeams.
The queen, who sits in the dark

with which she regales herself is
the moonlight.
The industrious maid, who Is in
the garden at work before her king
?the sun?is risen, is day-dawn,
and the clothes * * hangs out are

The birds who so tragically end

Making Better Men.
We should always remember that
it is quite possible to imf-ove the
conditions and outward surroundings
of life without in any marked
way improving life itself The man
who has come up fiom a threeroomed
cottage to live in a lumdredthousand-dollar
mais-ou may be '<
better man or a worse man than lie
was; the house lie lives in will never
help us to decide the question of his
moralitv or of his real worth. Clean
streets and improve:! social conditions
are good. and we must stiive
for them with persistent determination,
but if in getting* them we do
not at the same time improve the
quality of life that is lived in the
midst of them, we will not be making
any progress that is worth while.
?Christian Guardian.
The Habit of Not Feeling Well.
Few people realize that their ailments
are 'largely self-induced, says
Success. They get into a habit of
not feeling* well. If they get up in
the morning with a slight headache,
or some other trifling indisposition,
* r * 1 ii. _ .
instead 01 trying- ro rise aoove mese
conditions, they take a positive
pleasure in expatiating upon their
feelings to any one who will listen.
Instead of combating the tendency
to illness by filling the lungs with
pure fresh air. they dose themselves
with "headache tablets," or some
patent specific "warranted to cure"
whatever ill. they think they are suffering
from.; They begin to pity
themselves and try to attract pity
and sympathy from others. Unconsciously,
by detailing and dwell-i
- _ ,1
mg upon tneir symptoms, tney reenforce
the first simple suggestion
of illness by a whole army of
thoughts and fears and images of
disease, until they are unfitted to do
a day's work in their homes or offices.
It is said that man is a lazy animal.
We are all more or less prone
to indolence, and it is fhe easiest and
most natural thing in the world for
young people to accustom themselves
to lying down or lounging on
a sofa because they think they are
tired or not well. Much of so-called
"invalidism" is simple laziness, fostered
and indulged in from childhood.
There is great danger that
orirlt; \v1ir> arp rlfliratp whilp rrrmvincr
lip, and lounge around the house
and lie down whenever they feel the
least hit out of sorts, will form a
habit of invalidism when they reach
maturity. How often do we sec
such girls ''brace up" at once whenever
anything happens which interests
or excites them? An invitation
to a reception or concert, or
any other pleasant social occasion
acts like a tonic. For the time being
an instantaneous cure is effect
ed. They are as well as anybody?
until after the entertainment.?

Opportunity.
A little more than half a century
ago Commodore Perry with a letter
from President Fillmore made his
way into the closed ports of Japan
and negotiated a treaty with the
Shoguiu granting the United States

needed by our ships in the eastern
seas. Our vessels might thereafter
with safety anchor in Japanese waters,
and humane treatment to
American shipwrecked sailors was
freely granted.
This peace treaty marked the first
step in the opening of Japan to the
world, to foreign commerce, and to
residents of other nationalities.

late emperor, then a boy of fourteen
