Show TOO GIDOY FOP. HER. Costume Shocked South 6ea Islander's Sense of Modesty. When the late Bishop Selwyn first went as a missionary to the South Sea Islands he found the natives In various Islands very tractable. The fact however, that the islanders went ah eelntely naked caused the good bishop some anxiety and he resolved to direct part of his efforts to get them to wear at least the minimum of clothing. He therefore obtained some brlght-lcolored calico and len It lying carelessly about bis hut, knowing well that the bright colors would soon attract the attention of the natives. An old native lady soon afterwards ealled and bishopy allowed her to eye the cloth for some time. At last he picked up a piece, and, offering It to the native, said that he would give it to her If she would wear it. She departed in great glee, but returned the following day with a downcast look, and the cloth neatly rolled np. Handing It back to the astonished missionary, she said, Me no wear that, bishopy; me too shy!" Stray 8torles. Good News From Minnesota. Lakclleld, Minn., Jan. 4. Mr. Wit 11am E.

So far from being an evidence of a national levity and lack of seriousness slang Is the language of sincerity. It is the result of an Instinctive effort to get as far away as possible from everything like pretentiousness. It Is the antipodes of bathos. It is the language of the whole people, because It is expresslvo of tbe national sense of humor that Is never so keen as when it contemplates with a joy likewise unutterable the spectacle presented by a fake exposed. It is blunt. It Is crude, it is brutal sometimes, but it Is always sincere. It directs against the citadels of evil the mighty enginery of laughter.

She spoke softly, with a voice sweeter than music, and her husband was touched and calmed. He took the hand ahe stretched out to him and kissed it, and she added: Let us be patient. Ixve has reasons that reason does not understand, and if Cornelia Is Hyde s by predestination as well as by choice, vainly we shall worry and fret, all our opposition will come to nothing. In a few days Arenta will have gone away, and as for Hyde, any hour may summon him to join his father In England; and this summons, as It will Include his motner, he can neither evade nor put off. Then Rem will have his opportunity." To be patient to wait to say nothing it Is to give opportunity too much Bcope. Time and absence against any love affair that Is notf destiny! And if It be destiny, there is only submission, nothing- else. But life has a maybe In everything dear; a maybe that is just as likely to please ua as not Then Doctor John looked up with a You are right, Ava, he said smile. cheerfully. "I will take the maybe. Maybes have a deal to do with life. Yet, take' my word for it. there Is, I think, no maybe In Rems chances with Cornelia. We shall see. I think there Is. Rem, with the blunt directness of his nature, watched with jealous dislike, and often with rude impatience, the familiar intercourse which his aunts partiality permitted Hyde. He was. Indeed, often so rude that a less a less just youth than George Hyde would have pointedly resented many offences that he passed by with that noble not caring which is often tbe truest courage. But wrath covered carries fate. Every one waa In some measure conscious of danger and glad when the wedding day approached. Even Arent! had grown a little weary of the prolonged excitement she had provoked, for everything had gone ao well with her that she had taken the public very much Into her confidence. And, as if to add the last touch of glory to the event, just a week before Arenta's nuptials a French armed frigate eame to New York bearing dispatches for tbe Count de Moustier, and the Marquis de, Tounnerre was selected to bear back to France the Ministers message. So the marriage was put forward a few days for this end, and Arenta in the most unexpected way obtained the bridal journey which she desired, and also with it the advantage of entering France in and stately manner. a I am the 'luckiest girl in the world, 'she said to Cornelia and her brother when this point had been decided. They were tying up dream cake" for the wedding guests In madames queer, uncanny drawing room as she spoke, and the words were yet on her lips when madame entered with a sandal wood box In her hands. Rem, she said, go with Cornelia into the dining room for a few minutes. I hare something to say to Arenta that concerns no one else. As soon as they were alone madame opened the box and upon a white velvet cushion lay the string of oriental pearls which Arenta on certain occasions had been permitted to wear. Arenta's eyes flashed with delight. With an intense desire and interest she looked at the beautiful beads, but madame's face was troubled and somber, and ahe said almost reluctantly: Arenta, 1 am going to make you an This necklace will.be yours offer. when I die, at any rate; but I think there Is In your heart a wish to have it now. And as you are going to what Is left at the French court, I will give It to you now, If the gift will be to your mind.

What power can a few beads have over human life or sympathy by lifted hats and smiling faces; while the women looked from every window, and tbe little children followed, their treble voices heralding and acclaiming the beautiful bride Then came the breakfast and tha health drinking and the speechmaking and the rather sadder drive to the wharf at which lay La Belle France. Then the anchor waa lifted, the cable loosened, and with every sail set La Belle France went dancing to the down the river on the tide-toopen set Van Ariens and his son Rem turned silently away. A great and evident depression had suddenly taken tha place of their assumed satisfaction. They had outworn emotion and knew instinctively that some common duty was the best restorer. The same feeling affected, in one way or another, all the watchers of this destiny. Women whose household work was belated, had UBed up their nervous strength in waiting and feeling, were now cross and inclined to belittle the affair and to be angry at Arenta and themselves for their lost day. And men, young and old, went back to their ledgers and counters and manufacturing with a sense of lassitude and dejection. Peter had nearly reached his own house when he met Doctor Moran. The doctor was more Irritable and depressed. He looked at bis friend and said sharply, You have a fever. Van Ariens. Go to bed and sleep." To work I will go. That is the best thing to do.

In that moment he understood that no putting to rights could ever make his home the same. His little saucy, selfish, out dearly loved Arenta would come there no more; and he found not one word that could express the tide of sorrow in his heart Doctor John understood.
