Ale, which la more used in England
than in America, U a heavier malted
liquor than beer, and oontolna a arhall
proportion of hops. It was a favorlla
drink of the Anglo-Saxons and Danes.
, Coffee, the drink more highly regard
ed to-day than any other, was tint used
In Abyssinia In 875. Thence it waa
brought to Arabia. A Greek first in
troduced It to England, and made him
self famous by the act.
VVhUky, which is more democratic
than wine, is distilled- from various
grains, from potatoes and from malted
barley. It was named by the Cclte In
Ireland and Scotland. Brandy, a drink
not so unlvcraallv used, is distilled from
wine.
So-called beer was made In England
a long time ago by tapping spruce, lir,
birch, maple and ash trees and using
their Juice. This process is still kept
up In England and in this country
when homemade beers from roots are
much used.
Probably there la nothing that Interests
land owners more at this time of year than
fencing. They want to secure the very best
article they can for the purpose they Uosire
to use It, and at the cheapest price going.
While this is good business, price should
not take the place of quality. In building a
smooth wire fence you do not build it for
temporary use but expect it to last for years,
and to et this kind of an article it renuirea
a certain amount of good matoriul to mike It.
The l)e Kalb Fenoe Co., of De Kulb, Illi

country. They desire particularly to call

they claim for thorn. You will hardly do
yourself justice if you do not thoroughly in

;ION AltMITAGE
opened her eyes
on Easter morn
ing- and found
that the steamer
on vt-hlch she was a passenger had an
chored in the beautiful Bay of Palermo,
Dressing herself with hurried care, she
went on deck and saw the City of the
Sun, with its great gateway, higher
than the highest houses, and the white
marble marina outside with its great
length stretching towards Pellegrini,
and the picturesque boats dancing iu
the harbor, besieging the steamer for
custom.
The chaperon of the party, Mrs. For
tune, was also the aunt of Marion, and
she engaged one of the boats, after
much haggling with a fisherman iu a
red shirt, whose sunburned face was
like the pictures of Scriptural type, and
who was lazy enough to be a survivor
of his Gnllileean prototypes. As the
party landed they were greeted every
where with the r.aster salutation:
"Sunexit" (lie is risen).
And they joined in the antlphonal
response.
" Vere surrexit (lie is risen, indeed)
For this was their Sunday of joy, the
queen of festivals. Hells were ringing.
salutes were tired in the streets, the
flowers were in full bloom and the joy
of resurrection was in the air. It wai
the day the Sicilians had honored for
nearly 2,000 years, and Marion, who
had visited fit. Mark's on a similar oc;
casion, felt that this union of elements
in such an atmosphere of symbolic
worship, combined with an intense,
rapt 'devotion, had in it a sincerity
which the service of the great ca
thedrals lucked.
In Palcririp, Easter seemed enshrined
as In her own stronghold, and when the
little party entered the old English
church embowered in its tropical verd
tire, with roses and oranges clustering
together, Marion felt an indescribable
peace steal into her heart, as if she had
reached the summit of happiness.
If anyone had whispered to her that
like the fabled bird of the Persians she
was about to find the winged mate of
her wingless soul, henceforth "to sail
through all the heavens wide'' in per
fect union, she would have believed;
therefore, when a devotional man, an
American like herself, moved to make
room for her, then shared his book with
her and chanted a musical second to
her responses, she was not surprised
she seemed to have been waiting (or
him all her life. Her aunt's frowns of
propriety did not disturb her. The good
woman had not noticed the proximity
of the agreeable stranger and was ready
to frown hiin down, and was as tactless
in her methods as the head of the school
procession who turned to her young
ladies with the command;
"Don't look! Shut your ryes and
keep them closed. There's a horrid,
handsome sun coming this way."
The man was really not handsome,
but he had the strength, the magnet
ism, that is more than manly beauty;
he was almost another Sir Launcelot.
Was Marion to be Elaine, and "love him
with the love that was her doom?" We
hear of such fatalities in the comedy of
life.
Mrs. Fortune, the aunt, was really
obliged to recognize the stranger; for
the clergyman waa a townsman of her
own, and he introduced him on the,
strength of being a compatriot. And
he wai a charming man to know fine
manners and a devotional spirit, so he
won both aunfr and niece. There was
only this day to see' Palermo and Its
wonders, and Philip Neft accompanied
them to the steamer and said good-by.
And they did not know whether he was
a single or a married man, and Marion
had only a bunch of flowers and a lava
ornament, which he had bought for a
trifle, and dropped into her lap with
the flowers as an Easter offering.
"You have made a Joyful -Easter for
me," he had said, and asked permission
to call upon her when he returned in
a year's time to bis home In America,
which waa in the great city where she
lived herself.
"I will expect you next Easter," she
bad Buid, gayly, and with that they
parted. ,
A year how short! "Why, It was
only yesterday," wo say, and now it is
Easter again. And we are sorry, with a
transient human pain, for some who
have missed it, as if the more typical
keeping of Easter could compare with
that Easter which they have entered
upon.
' Our llll's bloom and pass away.
But theirs shall live and bloom for aye."
Marion had made a very curious dis
covery after the steamer had left Pal
ermo. She had found In the folds of her
dress, as if It had been dropped there,
an antique ring a curious arrange
ment of ancient gems, set in silver,
which she bad noticed on the hand of
the American, Mr. Ned. Her flrnt Im
pulse was to show It to her aunt; her
next, to keep it as a ftond between them
until she could forward It to him. Then
the Idea occurred to her that he might
have given it to her purposely but no,
she did not think he would have ven
tured to do such a thing yet love was
daring, and Marion ended the matter by
forgetting It until, she reached home.
After that jihe wore It as a souvenir of
travel, intending to return It when Its
owner came home.
But a strange thing happened before
that time. During tho Lenten season

slums to rescue the most wretched and
degraded. She had visited tho charity
wivrdsof thehospitals.aiid In St. Mary'c
she had found a young creature who
waa fast leaving a world that had been
most cruel to her. She had helped thla
poor soul up into tho blensed sunlight
of divine peace, and knowing that she
had cruelly suffered, had sought to win
from her the story of her llfo. But her
lips were scaled. She admitted that
she was a wife abandoned by her hus
band. Since she hud lokt love she would
have nothing else, and had stolen away
to die in a fit of jealoui despair.
It huppened one day that Marion wore
the souvenir ring, and as she bent over
the sick girl, who waa known only as
Mabel, the eyes of the latter rested
upon it She gave a great cry.
"My husband's ring!" she exclaimed,
and fainted.'
It was days before she rallied, during
which time the ring repoaed on her
own finger; tlu.n she proved her right
to it by naming the letters engraved
on tho inside.
Marlon did not at once return to her
charge. Easter Sunday was drawing
near, and she had arranged that the
young minister who assisted at St,
Jude's ahould conduct a service in the
hospital ward.
She had looked forward to the day
with unspeakable longing. The stran
ger who had made such an impression
upon her young heart in that far-off
Sicilian town would present himself
no longer a stranger, but al 11103 1 a
feieuft, for she had received letters and
credentials, and soon he would speak
for himself. Thero was nothing to
fear, but all things to expect, and
now
"Philip Nefl is "my husband."
These were the words spoken by the
pale lips of the sick girl, and Marlon
knew that they were true.
But she had seen anger and jealousy
In the eyes of the woman she had be
friended, and, cruelly hurt, she had
withdrawn from any contnet with her
until Mabel had sent for her to come
and make a full explanation.
What was there to explain? The ring
bad dropped from the hand of NefT
when he laid the flowers in the lap of
Marion, ns he explained in answer to
ber letter of inquiry. He had asked
her to keep it until he came, as it might

be lost in returning It to him, and that
was all. Other letters had passed, but
there had been no phrase of sentiment,
nothing but tho well-turned sentences
of a graceful writer, such ns he might
have wrltteu to the chaperoning aunt.
If Marion had colored them with tho
hues of imagination, who then waa to
blame?' rot he. surely?
little by little Mabel told hrr story,
and it revealed a sad state of affairs
between herself and the man who had
married her. She had worn out his
love with her jealousy, and ran away
from him in a fit of pique to hide with
an old nurse. She waa a creature of
impulse, and be had not known how to
manage her. And he had gene away
without a word where, she did not
know, nor did she ask if he hnd made
any provision for her. Passionate und
revengeful, she declurca she would die
in the hospital ward, and be buried in
the potter's field, rather than nsk help
of him.
Marion lay awake all the night pre
ceding Easter Sunday trying to com
fort her own diaappointed henri, and to
evolve a plan to bring those two to
gether nguiii. In the morning she went
to church with a detracted mind, but
as soon as the joyous and beautiful
Easter anthems were aung nil her
doubts were gone.
"I have loved the creature instead of
the creator," she said, and gave her
whole soul to tlie service.
"He is risen."
"He is risen, Indeed."
The scent of the lilies and the grand
notes of tin) organ drove out all
thoughts "of sin or folly born." When
the benediction' was pronounced she
waa filled with a sweet compassion for
all weak and suffering humanity, and
in that spirit she passed out and met
Philip Keif face to face.
It was Well thnt she had made an
Easter offering of herself that morning.
She was friendly there was no need to
be more. She did not take his out
stretched hand, but she said to him in
a composed way!
"Come to mi at two o'clock; I have
an engagement for you then."
"I will come," he said, Lnd there was
a glud look in his eyes that caused ber
a moment s pang, It was so welcome.
He found her, to his surprise, ready
to go out, but be cheerfully acquiesced
In her wish thnt she should accompany
him, even when she Informed him that
her errand was to a hospital.
The young assistant of St. Jude's
was there awaiting them. Some flowers
had been brought from the chancel to
adorn the little table drawn up to the
side of the sick girl. She had partaken
of the feast of EHster, and was lying
back on her pillow when Marion led
Philip Kef! to her bedside, and waited
for u mutual recognition. '
But the young man seemed to feel
himself an Intruder at this snored
scene, and looked distressed, and Mabel
scarcely glanced at hiifl before turning
her head wenrlly away.
"Do you know her? asked Marlon,
"I? No, Miss Armttage, I never saw
her in my Ufa before," answered Philip
NefT, firmly, and without hesitation.
'Then why doea she claim this ring?"
asked Marion, stepping forward and
lifting the thin hand to view.
"That is my ring," camo the faint an
swer from the sick girl's Hp.
'Who gave it to you?" naked Marlon.
'My husband, Philip NefT."
'Oh I" exclaimed NefT, stepping to the
side of the narrow white bed ; "then

The sick girl frowned and turned her
bend aside. The pain-distorted soul
waa alinoai. at peace, and ruticntcd tha
Intrusion of either earthly love or hato.
The compassion in Philip N tit's fuce
and voice were alike lost on her now.
The solemn tones of the young minister
broke the stillness. He was singing
canticle of Easter!
" The strife la o'er, the battle don
The victory of llf. Is won,
The song of triumph has begun.
Alleluia."

dying girl and gently chafed her cold

FemaJ. Criminal. Are Leniently Dealt
with In An.trUk .
In Austria a woman is never a crim
inal. She may murder, steal, burn end
Blander without fear ot coming to the
gallows. She is tint sent to an ordinary
prison for her sins, the worst that can
befall her being the taking up of bet
abode for a time in some convent.
The convent to which Vienna sends
her erring sisters is only a few miles o'lt
of town. The -building was once a
castle and there h nothing about it tc
indicate that it is a prisou. The court
yard stands open all day long and there
is never a guard in sight. The door
keeper is a pretty little x.un whom a
good-sized criminal could pick up under
one arm. The superior is n tall, grace
ful woman who moves with the dignity
of a gentlewoman, but who ia busluest
to her finger tips.
During the day the 50 os more women
prisoners assemble in a large, chccrtul
room where they engage in various oc
cupations. Some make match boxes or
buttons; others make fide lace, em
broidery or wool work. A nun with a
strong, decided face is th present cen
sor of manners and morula. She .-its
in tha room on a raised platform to
guard against the frequeni outburst of
temper which disturb the serenity of
the day occasionally..
The women there at present, says a
writer, are so kindly and gentle In ap
pearance and differ so completely from
one's preconceived notion of criminals
that it is hard to beiicvi them to be
hardened characters. An insignificant
little woman with a gentle, deprecating
smile is in the convent because she has
committed more murders than she has
fingers on her hands. There is no piece
else to put her.
One of the prisoners is a delicate
blonde girl with heavenly blue eyes and
an enchanting smile. She set a house
on fire with the hope of killing a man
and his five, children. This was acci
dentally referred to in her hearing one
day, and if there hnd been a knife handy
there ia no doubt she wou'd have killed
the inspector who made the remark.
An expression of ferocity unendurable
to look upon came to her lovely face and
transfigured it into something horrible.

About 18 years ago, whoa Mrs Annlo Dole,

different girl from a physical standpoint.
Hho wan cured of the scarlet fevor, but It loft
her with an affection of the back. As sho
grow older tho pain seemed to increase, lior

WHERE WOMAN ESCAPES.
Female Criminal Are Leniently Dealt
with la Austria.
In Austria a woman is never a crim
inal. She may murder, steal, burn and
slander without fear of coming to tne
gallows. She is not sent to an ordinary
prison for her sins, the worst that (.an
befall her being the taking up of hei
abode for a time In some convent.
The convent to which Vienna scndi
her erring sisters Is only a few miles o'lt
of town. The building waa onco a
castle and there U nothing nbout it to
indicate that It Is n prisou. The court
yard stands open all day long and there
is never a guard In sight. The door
keeper Is a pretty little i.un whom a
good-sized criminal could pick upuuder
one arm. The superior is n tail, grace
ful woman who moves with the dignity
of a gentlewoman, but who is business
to her finger tlus.
During the day the 80 or more women
prisoners assemble in a large, cheerful
room where they engage in various oc
cupations. Some make match boxes or
buttons; others make fine lace, em
broidery or wool work. A nun with a
strong, decided face is the present cen
sor of manners and morals. She Mis

The women there at present, says a
writer, are so kindly ord gentle In ap
pearance and differ so completely from
one's preconceived notion of criminals
that it is hard to belicvj them to b.
hardened characters. An insignificant
little woman with a gentle, deprecating
smile Is in the convent because she has
committed mora murder than she tins
fingers on her hands. There 1 no piece

One of the prisoners is a delicate
blonde girl with heavenly blue eyes and
an enchanting amlle. She set a house
on fire with the hope of killing a man
and his flvn children. This wa acci

day, and If there hnd been a knife handy
there is no doubt she wouM have killed
