COMMENT AND GOSSIP AMONG
THE WOMEN. BY ONE
OF THEM.
Loyalty is a virtue which appeals to
everyone, and strikes an answering
chord in many hearts. It appeals to
the highest instincts of a man; it raises,
ennobles, purifies him.
Our life would be a poorer, more
sordid thing were it not for loyalty,
which demands our enthusiasm and
inspires us to fresh efforts. We should
be thankful that we have never far to
seek for instances of it.
Loyalty to faith, to King, to country,
this has been manifested in all ages
and by all ranks. The martyr who
dies at the stake rather than renounce
his faith; the soldier who gladly gives
his life for his country, who suffers
death rather than betray the informa-
tion which will give an advantage, or
who obeys the mistaken and fatal order
rather than fail in the duty of obedi-
ence.
The man whom nothing can draw
from allegiance of his chosen cause,
whether good or bad—all these afford
us striking examples of loyalty.
And it is not only to the past that we
must look to show us true loyalty. It
is among us now, even in this age of
complex motive and confused aim; the
call to it is seldom unanswered where
it is seldom recognized.
It is true that we see much want of
loyalty among us in little things, dis~
loyalty to friends, to opinions, etc., and
it is seldom, indeed, that we see any-
one who fully recognizes the duty of
loyalty to his best self.
An absolutely loyal person is, per-
haps, the exception, not the rule; still
the power, and in most cases the in-
stinct, of loyalty is in everyone, and
often only needs calling out to manifest
itself in all its beauty. For it is a
beautiful thing, a noble thing.
When rightly directed we see it as it
is highest, and even when misdirected,
witnessing to the marvelous possibili-
ties of man’s nature. Love begets loy‘
alty, and loyalty demands courage; the
latter two are usually found together,
shining like twin stars through the
mist of paltry ambition and vain time-
serving which surrounds us, telling of
what man might have been, and maybe
still.
In strong contrast to loyalty—as
light is in contrast to darkness—stands
its opposite, its antipodes—treachery;
the one elevating and strong, the other
degrading, despicable, and weak. For
the glory of loyalty is its strength
while treachery is the essence of weak-
ness.

HAD JEWELS IN HER TEETH.
Beocnt “Novelty” Found to be Over 3,000
Years of Age.
The New York soubrettc who not
long ago sought a certain class of ad-
vertising or notoriety by having sever-
al flashing jewels net ir her front
teeth, will be pained to learn that she
achieved nothing new; that, in fuel.
her little “stunt” was quite common
over 3,000 years ago.
In the recent explorations of Co-
jan. "The Mysterious City of Hondu-
ras,” by George Byron Gordon, many
ancient tombs were opened. The lo-
cation of these was strange and un-
J expected—beneath the foundations of
courtyards and under the foundations
of houses. They consist of small
chambers ofyery excellent masonry,
roofed, sometimes by means of the her-
izontal arch and sometimes by means
of slabs of stone resting on the top of
the vertical walls.
In these tombs one, and sometimes
two, interments have been made. The
bodies have been laid at full length
upon the floor. The ceremenis had
long since molded away, and the skel-
etons themselves were in a crumbling
condition and give little knowledge of
the physical characteristics of the peo-
ple, but one fact of surpassing inter
est came to light concerning their pri-
yate lives, namely, .the custom or
adorning their front teeth with gems
{laid in the enamel and by filling.
"_.A,'lthough «not all of the sets found
have been treated in this Way, there
are enough to show that the practice
was general, at least among the upper
classes, for all the tombs opened, from
their associations with prominent
lhouscs, seemed to have belonged to
people of rank and fortune. The stone
used in the inlnying was a bright
green jadeite. A circular C'lVlty about
one-sixteenth of an inch in diameter
Was drilled in the enamel of each of
the two front teeth of the upper row
and inlaid with a little disk of judcite
cut to a perfect fit. and secured by
means of a bright red cement—New
York Journal.
AN IMPRESSIVE CEREMONY.
The W'Idow Took the Affair Into Her Own
Hands and Curried Her Point,
A rich widow in :1 town not far
from W inter llnrbor was making ur-
rangements for the marriage of her
daughter when the Methodist con-
ference met in that town and twenty
ministers came to attend it. She in-
yited them all to the wedding, and, her
pastor belonging to that denomination
she expressed to him a wish that the
"ceremony be arranged so that they
could all participate. The dominie
thought the matter over and told her
that he could devise no scheme by
which her wish could be gratified.
He did not see how the marriage ser-
mce could Ibe cut up into twentybne
segments, and furthermore—Land he
expressed it as delicately as possible-
-he did not think the members of the
Conference would consider it dignified
to engage in any such performance.
As the widow was a person of great
importance, he had to treat her ging-
erly. She is the largest contributor to
the support of the church, and the par-
SOn expected a handsome fee for
'gitching her daughter to the most ell=
i‘ble young man in town. Hence he
1 romised to consult with some of the
brethren and see her later, but she did
not wait fer him. She took matters
into her own hands and formed a.
plan that at least had the merit of ori-
ginality. She wen-t direct to the pre-
sidingelder, invited him to perform the‘
ceremony and suggested that after
he had pronounced the couple man
and wife all the members of the Con-
ference stand up in a row before the
pulpit and recite the Lord’s Prayer in
