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'1t. 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 suflers 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 itselfin 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 may be 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. .9/ a??? .gaa. Feminine Chat. Many a new tailor gown had i‘s first outing on Sunday.

The kissing of heroes by some of our young ladies during the recent war re- calls ‘an incident in which thelate General U. S. Grantfigured, without, however, sharing the blushing honor. Just after the close of the Civil War General Grant, with his family, went to the Union hotel at Saratoga Springs. Major William Leland. the proprietor of the hotel, had been chief commissary on the General’s staff. He gave a banquet to General Grant and his wife. Many officers who were from the army of the Tennessee were present, as well as several prominent citizens. During the dinner the guests were somewhat startled to sees-a Saratoga belle advance, with a gracious Gre- cian bend, and ask permission of the General to kiss him. There was only one there who received the General’s salute. To that high person he now deferred. Turning, he said, “With Mrs. Grant’s permission.” ’ Mrs. Grant had, as every one ob served, a drooping lid. She was obliged therefore tothrow back her head to get a good look at the suppli- cant, who now had not only the eyes of all the distinguished company on her,’.'but those of the other guests of the hotel as well. After an embarrassing ' pause, in which Mrs. Grant had time to consid- er the offensive,charge on her'defenss- less spouse and fortify herself against the fair enemy, she came to his relief and declined to capltulate. .Nothing daunted, however, and to prove to those present that the American girl has nerve as well as mettle, the fair heroine seized the General’s hand and said: . » “Well, as you will not kiss me, I will shake your hand,” and retired with all the honors of war—vanquish- ed, but not subdued—New York Mail and Express. MRS- KIPLING SAVED THE POEM. Rescued the "Recessioxial” After Her Husband Had Thrown It Away. . One of: the newspaper men who in- terviewed Rudyard Kipling during his recent visit to South Africa, writes of him in the Cape Times: ‘ “He takes his work hard, He is tre- mendously in earnest about it; anxious to give of his best; often dissatisfied with his best, He is quite comically dissatisfied with success; quite tragic- ally haunted by the fear that this or that piece of work, Elt intensely by himself in writing, and applauded even by high and mighty critics, is cheap and shoddy in execution and Will be cast in damages before the higher court of posterity. When Rudyard Kipling had written “The Recession- al,” which two hemispheres felt to be one of the very truest and soundest pieces of work done by any writing man in our day and generation, he was so depressed by its shortcomings of his private concepton that he threw the rough copy into the wastepaper basket. Thence Mrs. Kipling rescued it. But for Mrs. Kipling we should have had no ‘Recessionall’ For his best patriotic poems he has declined to accept pay.” We may repeat here a remark of' Kipling at a dinner party in London when asked if Cecil Rhodes was mar- ried. “Yes,” he replied, “to tens of thousands of square miles of British territory. England cannot afford to let a man like that marry in any other way.’.’ Kipling and Mark Twain obviously do not agree in regard to Rhodes. “When Rhodes’ time comes,” sa’d Mark Twain, “1 hope to get a piece of the rope.” . JEWELS LOST AT THE SEASHORE. Ornaments “’ortli Fully $2,000,000 Are Dropped 0r Stolen Every Year. It has been estimated that over $2,000,000 worth of jewels are lost every season at the summer resorts of America. So great have been the loss. es at the fashionable resorts like New- port, Lenox, Bar Harbor, or Richfield Springs, that the society matrons of late years have deposited boxes Of jewels in bank vaults, and when large functions are given :1 member of the family is dispatched to town to get the costly ornaments. This is a very inconvenient but av-very safe method. Before this precaution was taken the theft or loss of jewelry frequently amounted to $8,000 or $10,000 at a sin- gle instance. Very seldom are the mis— laid trinkets found, and even then un- der peculiar circumstances. Last year a Philadelphia matron secured apart- ments at a hotel where three years previously she had had the misfortune to lose‘several rings, a watch, and a diamond crescent, valued at $1,400. As she entered one of the rooms 'a loose board was felt. A carpenter was sum- moned to make the repair. Removing thecarpet, the workman slightly rais- ed the board and saw something brightJ on the plaster below. This dis- covery led to the recovery of the trin- kets. The owner had hidden the prop- erty and then had forgotten about it. Some Good Arab Maxims.
