Think of a Europe in which French, English. Italian, Spanish ami German literature had never come tc the birth, but in which some one great tongue had tried in vain to express man's varied mind. The Chinese minister, min-ister, coming from a vast and comparatively com-paratively uniform empire, can perhaps per-haps scarcely realize with adequate force what we in Europe should have lost. Nor are we quite sure that the unity would have been gained in anything any-thing like the degree supposed. Unity and uniformity are very different things; and the profoundest unity evet effected, or that can be effected, was produced by a religion which was developed de-veloped in great cosmopolitan cities where scores of languages were spoken by its converts. We remember ot course, the great aid rendered by Greek to Christianity, but it was an aid perhaps per-haps more on its philosophical side than on the side of everyday human speech. Racial unity is the next great uniting bond, but - racial unity is not the same as linguistic unity; and we see today people like ine ueigians and French, the Italians of Italy and those of Switzerland the English-speaking dwellers in the Uuit-el Uuit-el States and Canada - living close together, to-gether, speaking the same language, and yet not fused or completely united. GENTILITY TO BE HIRED. How Kaat Side Keveln In Fashion at So Much a Revnl. The past side achieves gentility on j great occasions, albeit somewhat un- ; shaven and slipshod between whiles, . says the New York Mail and Express. , From its own standpoint it does not i spare expense. What it cannot buy it j hires. The possiBiljties of renting the j set pieces and habiliments of fashion j have been thoroughly exploited east of the Bowery. There is none of that pride of exclusive possession that obtains ob-tains along thoroughfares farther westward. The swarming population shares its joys and sorrows and garments gar-ments with impartial hand. Many ot the brides whose brief finer startles their old companions on the wedding night hire their gowns and veils. The most gorgeous and costly creations are obtainable for an evening. The paraphernalia of mourning may be rented for a single occasion. Ball dresses warranted to captivate are for hire in Division street. Chowder parties are equipped throughout for a day on the soimj. There are dozens of establishments that drive a flourishing flourish-ing business loaning dress suits for a consideration. A rigid social etiquette prescribes that the truck driver and small shopkeeper shall on such formal occasions as balls and receptions don the clawhammer, and the downright east sider would rather be out of the world tban out of fashion as he understands under-stands it. The young mei who purchase pur-chase second-hand the dress suits ot business men whom they accost in Broadway and Wall street are the scouts of these luring establishments. Revamped and pressed anew, a dress suit will earn its second cost in two or three evenings. The garb or the floor committee at a typical ball of a social club is evidence enough that the tailors of New York are a cosmopolitan group. Chambermaid rhllosophjr. New York Times. Dwellers in hotels ho-tels are always running across the unexpected un-expected in their rather confined life. Now, there is one of them who lives at a Broadway hotel who especially prides himself on keeping his room neat and clean. He had an eye for the ease and comforts of others as well as his own, and so had thought that this sort of thing would be especially gratifying to the chambermaids whom he has been in the habit of looking upon as an overworked lot. with many hardships and few comforts. Judge of his surprise then, the other day, when he happened to overhear a couple of the maids chatting about their vjrk: "Now. it's this way with me, Kate," remarked one to the other, "I likes to clean rooms when they're dirty, but I truly hates to clean 'em when they're clean."

The cable stories that the Abysslnl-ans, Abysslnl-ans, encouraged by Russia aud France are going to take advyntaso of the Transvaal war to defend on IJritrin's possession in the Sordmi, ii.is caused a great deal of interest to be centered on that kingdom.

The name Abyssinia Is an appellation bastowed by the Arabs. It means "mixture," referring to the mixed character of the inhabitants inhabi-tants of hat gieit country.

Menelik, "Negusa Negust" ("King of Kings"), is absolute monarch of all the wide domain with its 4.C0O.0O0 or 6,000,000 inhabitants. It is divided into tnree large provinces Tigre on toe north, Amhara on the south and Siioa on the southeast. Ethiopic is the language lan-guage of the first; Am-harie is spoken in the two other provinces. The inscription of Egypt point to - lie importance of Ethiopia in ancient times, and it is known that there was constant communication and often warfare between Egypt and Ethiopia. Up to a few years ago, however, little was tnougnt. and less was known of the country and its inhabitants. The Ethiopian was thought of merely as one of the numerous savage Atritan ; ooO.OOO.

More than this, the Abyssinians are a Christian people, and have been since the fourth century, when Bishop Athanasius of Alexandria, he who wrote the famous Athanasian Creed, sent missionaries to them. They are independent Christians, however, like no other creed on earth. They practice prac-tice much of the Old Testament code, 5 observinS he rte of circunicusion, the distinctions between animals called clean and unclean in the Pentateuch, and enforce the law "An eye for an e je" with a literalness never practiced in Palestine. But they do not forget the Golden Rule, which is observed with directness and simplicity. MENELIK, (The Ruler of Abyssinia.) If a priest was married before he entered en-tered the priesthood, he may still retain re-tain his wife, but if not married, he cannot marry after becoming a priest. There are numerous churches, but no images in them. Great reverence is paid to the saints, especially SS. George and Michael. The walls of the churches are covered with frescoes, where may be seen the Crucifixion, with Jesus on the Cross, the two thieves on either side, the Roman soldier sol-dier extending the sponge soaked in vinegar, and Mary weeping at the foot of the cross. Anachronisms do not embarrass their mural decorations for In a picture of the Israelites crossing the Red Sea the soldiers of Pharoah are armed with guns! Nor are they always true to the traditional interpretation interpre-tation of the Bible, for Eve tempts Adam with a banana instead of an apple. The artist probably never saw an apple. The churches are rude buildings, build-ings, circular in shape, with three divisions di-visions in them an outer one for the people, an inner one for the priests and the inmost central part for the holy of holies. like the temple at Jeru- iwuo.uvi tiiiuu tui a ii tut ui jews ill Abyssinia, the Falashas, and prides himself upon his descent from the wisest wis-est of sovereigns through Menelik I. Hence he calls himself Menelik II. The life and customs of the Abyssinians Abyssini-ans are simple to primitiveness, yet they are an intelligent people, capable of a high civilization. The army of Menelik numbers some 200,000, a formidable for-midable force, trained as they are and supplied with modern weapons. The Italians had a little experience with them which they will remember for many years to come, for the troops or Menelik go into battle to right with rifles if they can. with sabre and shield when they have a chance. In their last battle with the Italians, who numbered num-bered 21,000, but one thousand escaped. Some 3,000 were taken prisoners and the rest were killed outright They understand the value of discipline, but they couple with the order of modern troops the fierceness of the savage, and will rush to kill, though wounded to the death themselves. Leaf Ittane Kldlnif. New York Tribune: "As is natural, many stories are afloat at this time," said George Lamborn, of London, who has liyed at Pretoria for several years, "to account for the extraordinary manner man-ner in which the British have been outflanked and overcome by the Boers. I have repeatedly seen statements that this was partly on account of the superior su-perior stamina and endurance of the horses which the Boers rode, which could cover 80 to 100 miles a day and keep It up for several days. That is all tommy rot; the Boer horse Is a good animal, but he Is of flesh and bone, and not of steel and iron, as such endurance as that would Imply. The I i greatest -cord ride in the Transvaal was the one made by Schmidt at tha time of the Jameson raid, who, la a single night, rodo from Pretoria to a point near Krugerdorp, on the Mafe-king Mafe-king border, and return. The distance was about 90 miles, and he covered it on the same horse, although la so doing do-ing he killed the animal. RICHEST CONGRESSMAN Congressman William Connell Is reputed re-puted to be the wealthiest member ol the present national house of repre-3ntalives, repre-3ntalives, but what he is worth cannot can-not be exactly computed in dollars and cents, on account of the nature of his investments, which are somewhat fluctuating fluc-tuating in character.

Many women wo-men deserve, but few women receive, such an I. O. U. as that which Hood gave his wife. "I never was anything, i dearest, until I knew you, and I have ; been a better, happier and more pres-j pres-j perous man ever since. Lay the truth in lavender, sweetest, and remind me of it when I fail." General Gordon said he never married because he never nev-er found a woman prepared to accompany accom-pany him to the ends of the earth. Such a woman Sir Henry Lawrence did find. She went with him into nearly every place in India where his work brought him, however dangerous or difficult. On August 22, 1620, Oliver Cromwell married Elizabeth Boucher, daughter of a knight and wealthy London Lon-don merchant. Mrs. Cromwell may not have had much character, but her husband never ceased to love her, and thirty years after their marriage he wrote to her (the day after Dunbar): Dun-bar): "Truly, if I love you not too well, I think i err not on the other hand too much. Thou art dearer to me than any creature; let that suffice." For forty-thre? years the great lawyer and agitator, Daniel O'Connell, poured out his heart to his wife like a schoolboy in love for the first time. His first thoughts were always of her; and neither nei-ther the larse of years nor the tremendous tre-mendous pressure of his professional and political engagements seems ever to have prevented his writing regularly regular-ly to b'r letters which in later years he used to call the 'love letters of your old husband." it is pleasant to find harmony in the house of a great musical musi-cal composer as well as in his compositions. composi-tions. There was no discordant note in the matrimonial duet which Mozart and his wife played together. For years she was an invalid, and he used to write by her bedside while she slept, When he went out in the morning for a ride he would steal softly into her room and leave a tender note to greet her waking. Here is one of them .r j wish you good morning, my dear little wife. I hope you have slept well, and that nothing has disturbed your repose. re-pose.

Few ministers of the gospel have flg- exploits and adventures are as thrll REV. JOHN G. PATON. lingly interesting as anything which can be found in the world's romance. Dr. Paton is now spending several weeks in the United States, where le is raising money with which to prosecute prose-cute his work in the New Hebrides. Recently he passed through Atlanta, where he delivered addresses -which are pleasantly remembered by those who were fortunate enough to hear him. Dr. Paton first went to the New Hebrides in 1848. On account of his influence over the cannibals in that quarter he acquired in time the complimentary compli-mentary designation of king, and today to-day the New Hebrides are completely under the domination of the gospel. Dr. Paton is now seventy-two years of age. In personal appearance he is '.n usually handsome for one of his year3. wearing long white hair and beam which give him the typical appearance nf one of the old patriarchs.

If I could be a valentine, I know what I would do. I'd get into an envelope And travel straight to you. And If the postman didn't know Your name is Baby Dear And where you live, I'd shake Lis bag As soon as he was near. And then with all my might I'd jump And run across the street. (I'm sure that he'd jump, too, to find A valentine had feet.) I'd ring the bell and ring the ball A minute and a half, And when you came and saw 'twas I, Oh, my, how we would laugh! Anna M. Pratt. They say she is out of date in this end of the nineteenth century, but that Is wrong. She may be more coy, more reticent, more elusive, but she is still with us. On each St. Valentine's day she peeps from her casement window, either literally or figuratively, with Just as enticing a glance; her smiles are no less alluring; her sighs create fully as much havoc. Perhaps she no longer pins bay leaves to her pillow to tempt fate, or makes a pretense of drawing her ot from a bundle of names written upon Blips of material paper all that was but form at best. The Sprite of the Valentine knew well who was her fate without such expedients. And she knows it now. The eyes of common mortals might be blinded, but her bright eyes looked clearly Into the future and saw there the chained captive who reveled in his chains. She read some tender verse and smiled at Its innocence she who was all Innocence herself, yet gifted with that prescient sense of prophecy, or foreknowledge, against which the clumsy reason of mortal swain was as helpless as the wiles of an infant. She smiled and no mystic rite could be more potent. She gave one glance from beneath the witching fringe of her long lashes, and no other sorcery was needed. The same is true today. Good St. Valentine was a martyr, they tell us, and some can see no propriety pro-priety in naming this lovers' day for him; but to my mind the fitness is most striking. How many a tortured heart has gone to its martyrdom at the eventide of this day! Even escaping l that, how many a soul has beeu placed upon the rack by the coquetry of some maiden sweet at this same crucial time! For the Valentine Sprite is true to her sex, in spite of the traditions that hem her in and fix her place as some meek captive awaiting the decree that shall send her " rejoicing into whatever arms are stretched out to receive her. Be not deceived. She has decided upon the arms long beforehand they j are held forth at her will. She may j have spoken no word save of the coy-j coy-j est. but she has willed. Ah, how de luded are they wno cast a pitying eye Upon woman for her lack of the power to choose and to plead! Know ye not. my lords of creation, that by far the most frequently ye are the chosen and not the choosers? If she wills you to come you come. If she wills you. to speak you speak, and, more than that, she has the added power to send you ! away empty if so her caprice decides. This in the common life of every day. What, then, might be expected In the mystic time when love rules all? At least, Valentine Sprite holds royal sway. If she wills your missive flies to her. If she wills she even binds a snowy message to the wings of Mercury Mer-cury and bids him speed with it to her chosen valentine, for who shall say her nay? The Valentine Sprite mistakes not whom she chooses him she holds. Heretofore, my brothers. I have warned you, though the warnings were sin. but against this enchantress I cannot bid you steel yourself, for the soft witchery of her innocent smile has sealed my lips, and I know not whether thlB maiden with the childish grace and the woman's wiles be most a blessing bless-ing or a snare to you. I can only tell you this your struggles against her will amount to -na v but your own .uiiei.c capuvjr-s,; vwlth each ILK I MS.- . 1H Willi II I III pvi keeps them plunge you sink deeper the arrow that has pierced you. This much of the mystery, however, I can reveal to you: Mortal maid is the Valentine Sprite until that fateful morning when the little winged god flies from chamber to chamber and touches sleeping eyes with the feather end of his arrow, then speeds him on his way before the white lids unclose in wonder and the sweet glances go forth with the wisdom that Cupid alone can give and each one is touched with the power of his arrow point. Mortal maid she is not from that hour until the going down of the sun, and man is utterly helpless against the subtle witchery of this mystic, love-created love-created being who beckons him into Elysium. And you, O youth, who scoff at the time-honored privilege of sending to some lady fair upon this day of days a plea from your heart, hidden and shrined within some dainty, perfumed nest or beauty, or who turn with a laugh from the memory picture ot your great-great-grandfather buried deep in the lover's ecstasy and the poet's rapture, as he pens the words which shall be his heart message to his heart's desire, do not too lightly set aside the good old custom; at least, put it away with tender reverence, for the spirits of those olden rites are not to be flippantly consigned to oblivion. On every hand the Valentine Sprite uprises, an avenger for any slight, however small, which is offered to her patron saint. In the midst of your scoffing you hear a whisper at your heart. You blush and sigh and frown, but you listen, lis-ten, and you feel the pressing of the arrow point. "Love, love, be wholly mine; Come and be my valentine!" How did the music of it get into your brain? From that time forth you sigh and serve. But this is vengeance that the Valentine Sprite exacts. In the end you are left wailing in the solitude soli-tude of your twentieth-century superiority: superi-ority: "Love, love, be wholly mine; Come and be my valentine!" But It may not be.

The Valentine Val-entine Sprite, with her dower of mystic wisdom, shall not beckon you but to taunt. In the far distance of the future years that bind you to her I hear the echo of a tender strain: "Love, love, so wholly mine, I am still thy valentine!" ST. VALENTINE WAS CRUEL TO HIS BIRDS. Annie Trumbull Slosson writes in Bird-Lore: The cold wave reached us at Miami, on Biscayne bay, Florida, in the night of Feh. 12. On the 13th, Monday, it was very cold all over the state, with snow and sleet as far south as Or-mond Or-mond and Titusville. Our thermometers at Miami ranged from 36 degrees to 40 degrees during the day. As I sat in my room in the hotel, about 4 in the afternoon, I saw a bird outside my window, then another and another, and soon the air seemed full of wings. Opening the window to see what the visitors could be, I found they were tree swallows. Several flew into my room, others clustered on the window ledge, huddling closely together for warmth. There were hundreds of them about the house seeking shelter and warmth. They crept in behind the window blinds, came Into open win- 'sr . ' -tt . . ,, . ... - , ..... i i ever bright end warmi dows, huddled together by dozens or cornices and sills. They were quite fearless; once I held my hand outside and two of thern lighted on its palm and sat there quietly. As it grew dark and colder their numbers increased. in-creased. They flew about the halls and perched in corners, and the whole house was alive with them. Few of the guests in the hotel knew what they were; some even called them "bats," and were afraid they might fly into their faces or become entangled in their hair. One man informed those aboui. him that they were humming birds, "the large kind, you know," but all were full of sympathy for the beautiful beau-tiful little creatures out in the cold and darkness. A few were taken indoors and sheltered through the night, but "what were these among so many?" The next morning the sun shone brightly, though the weather was still very cold the mercury had fallen below be-low 30 degrees during the night. But as I raised the shade of one of my eastern windows I saw a half-dozen of the swallows sitting upon the ledge in the sunshine, while the air seemed again filled with flashing wings. I was so relieved and glad. Surely the tiny creatures, with their tints of steely blue or shining green contrasting contrast-ing with the pure white of the under parts, were more hardly than I had feared. But alas! it was but a remnant rem-nant that escaped. Hundreds were found dead. Men were sent out with baskets to gather the limp little bodies from piazzas, window ledges and copings. cop-ings. It was a pitiful sight for St. Valentine day, when, as the old song has it: "The birds are all choosing their mates." Compressed Cork and It Csrs. Cork, as everyone knows, is one of the best non-conductors of heat or sound. That it has not been more widely used in building is due chiefly to the difficulty of obtaining it in an unadulterated form. A product called cork tiling- has recently been placed upon the market which is made of what is known to the trade as "virgin cork," ground, compressed, and otherwise other-wise treated by a patented process, and. which is free from the cement and glue usually employed to hold the particles together. Tiles made of this pure, compressed cork are said to form ttn admirable flooring, which, besides being be-ing noiseless, water proof warm, sad germ-proof, is capable of withstanding hard usage. By varying the degree cf compression and modifying the manufacturing manu-facturing process slightly, sheets of cork different in color and density are obtained, which, when sawed and finished fin-ished in the form of panels, can be used for wainscoting alone, or in connection con-nection with cork-tile floors. Cork compressed into sheets and sawed to the size and thickness desired constitutes consti-tutes a very efficient pulley covering. It is said that a pulley covered or lagged with compressed cork will transmit from 50 to 60 per cenr more power with the same tension, of belt than one having only a smooth iroa surface. Goodness and Manhood. The older I grow the more I revere goodness just plain every-day goodness good-ness having nothing heroic nor spectacular spec-tacular in it, for I think this is the gift ot which God has been the least prodigal, prodi-gal, says the Woman's Home Companion. Com-panion. Intelligence without goodness may mean nothing higher than a prize fighter, but goodness with strength and intelligence makes a man as he was created to be, an image of the Godhead. God-head. The most symmetrical man of thi3 century was Mr. Gladstone and his moral nature was as sweet and wholesome as his intellect and body were strong. In mind, in heart, in soul, in everything but physique and inches he was a giant. But the salient feature in Gladstone's character and what lifts him above every contemporary contem-porary was his moral earnestness. He. was a good man and his religious convictions con-victions formed the warp and woof of his nature. Merely a Hint. Mr. Borem (11 p. m.) "My motto is, 'Pay as you go.'
