The dwarf banana of Bermuda first came from the Canaries. The fruit is little larger than a man's finger, and is c o m p a c t s texture and rich in flavor. The fruit jjrown in summer is of higher quality than that grown in winter—If the word winter can be applied to a land in 'which.the mercury rarely registers as low a^ 50 degrees and in which fcost is unknown. The single bunch that the tree bears would weigh, of this dwarf sort, from twenty-five to sixty or seventy pounds. There Is almost no expense required in maintaining the plantation after it is once established, and the gross anrttial income should be from $400 to $500 per acre. The little bananas are consumed entirely-by the local markets, for Bermuda is visited by-tourists, it has a large garrison, and the resident people—some over 17,000 all tol —are fond, of fruit.

Lord Brampton, a famous English cross examiner, told a story of how he once wou a case on a technical ground when he had no defense* He forced a magistrate's clerk to be put into the witness box by the prosecution to prove a purely formal matter. Now, having got him there, he cross/examined him and made hhu praeticnlly l admit that he "led his magistrates by ! the nose;" to admit also that they had : refused bail by bis advice and that 41 i judge at chambers had afterward \ granted it, although the witness bad | come up all the way from London to oppose it. Then, asked the cross examiner, "You were in the room, sir, and did you not hear the learned judge aay there was not a rag of a case against my unhappy client?" The prosecuting counsel objected, and it was ruled ont. But the Jurors bad heard it and had heard the answer stopped. The dissatisfaction thus adduced in their minds made them acquit | the prisoner. Leaving the court that day, the prisoner's counsel asked his opponent, "Why did you object to that question?" The latter indignantly protested that his adversary when he asked it must* have known t h a t it could not be put, "Yes, I did," was the answer; "but I knew you, too, and felt sure that you would object at the right time. But you should have wait ed for the answer, as it would havp been 'No!' " Ireland'* Wood Sorrel Said to Be St. 1'utrlfk'a Huiblettt. There are many pvople who do not know what the real shamrock is. The plant which Is often called shamrock and generally pusses for it in Ireland Is the Trifoliumrepens, or white clover. This plant could not have been the one which St. Patrick held up to Illustrate the doctrine of the Trinity, as It has been known only 200 years in Ireland and is a cultivated plant and not native to the soil. Edmund Spenser says of the Irish of 158U thut "whenever they found a plot of shamrocks, or watercress, they had a-feaatr- T h e r e - w e r e soiue who gobbled the green food as it came, some looked for the faultless stalk and the bloom on the leaf." This shamrock of Spenser's time was without doubt the Oxalis acetosella, which is commonly known as wood sorrel. It makes an excellent salad herb, though it has never become a market herb in France or this country. The sorrel of Paris and New York markets is a species of dock. The wood sorrel is indigenous to tue soil of Ireland and is believed by botanists to be the original "herb trinity" with which St. Patrick* used to illustrate his doctrines.—New York Tribune T1T " Jul Ac •~Oa-TA=l 4 MO-RI*, Griswold ^ House modera, up-to-date Hot^l.tocatel , is the heart af I DETROIT. **Cit* 1 t Rates, $2, $2.50, $3 per Day.

The fastness of color depends on tbe stability of tbe coloring matter as well as on that of the combination between the material and the color. Nearly all organic colors are' bleached by the continued action of light and air. Light alone can cause changes and favors tbe formation ot small quantities of ozone and hydrogen peroxide, especially in the presence of water, which is always to be found in all ordinary materials. These two substances are powerful oxidizing agents, readily giving up a portion of the oxygen contained in them, and this combines with or oxidizes the coloring matter, forming a body closely allied to it, but which is less intensely colored, and in some cases, if the action is carried far enough, the color is entirely destroyed. The chemical effects of the different colored rays vary greatly. Red, yellow and green are practically inert as bleaching agents, while blue, violet and ultra violet rays have a most powerful ehemieal action. This fact explains why , materials which are usually worn at night, and hence are exposed only to gas or candle light, do not fade rapidly, these llluminants not having a preponderance of the blue and violet rays, while sunlight, which contains a large proportion of these chemically active rays, quickly affects colored fabrics.

Y.)- Pomona grange it was voted to have a uniform programme for all the subordinate granges in the county; The idea prevailed that it would tend to draw the subordinate and Pomona or county granges closer together and systematize the work of instruction in the county. This is certainly an advance step, and yet is in the nature of an experiment. The plan is, however, not compulsory. If a subordinate grange prefers to arrange its own programme it may do so.

My claim is one-half mile south of the Edmonton and Lake St. Anne trail. "Coming so late in the season wo had little opportunity to break and to prepare ground for a drat year's crop, still we raised over 100 bushels of very fine potatoes, and sowed a few acres of barley, but the season waa too far advanced for the barley. However, we secured good feed from it, and on rented ground 18 miles east of us, raised a fine crop of oats, so that we will have plenty of feed for horses. We cut about 60 tons of hay and thus will have an abundance. We have, all told, about 240.acres of hay meadow, which would yield the past year over three tons to the acre, and in an ordinary season the meadow would furnish 60.0 tons of hay. The grass is very nutritious, and cattle on the ranges become very fat without being fed a pound of grain. "On the upland the grass grows from eight to ten inches tall. This IB called range grass, and is suitable for stock at any time, even in the winter when the ground IB not covered too deep with snow. Horses subsist on it alone, at all times, provided they are native stock. The grass in the hay meadows -here is waited red-top, and grows from five to six feet in length, and when cut at the proper time yields an abundant crop of nutritious *ayr - ~tove - fttls unoccupied b e n t s rattles unoccupied he*dt.

During the latter part Of June we rafted logs down the Sturgeon to a sawmill, about eight miles away, and thus secured 5,000 feet of good lumber which was needed for the house. Later in the season a shingle mill located six -mttes-away. To this we hauled logs and had shingles cut for the roof.

Beginning with a glass of vodka, which evidently sharpened. his appetite, Radalof enjoyed with apparent seat the viands set before him, and baying lighted a cigar paid his bill and withdrew. ^ The restaurant he had just quitted waa only an occasional resort, but a visit there waa necessary because fUdatoff had need to interview this waiter. .The fact is that Radaloff and the waiter both served the same master, and drew their income from the same source, the secret service fund of the imperial police. There was one customer of this restaurant regarding thorn it was essential to ascertain jrtain facts. It was this particular idividual to whom the obliging and foservant waiter referred in his brief conversation with Michael Radaloff. Radaloff after leaving the restaurant hailed a second-class drosky. A drive of some twenty minutes sufficed to bring him to another point in his allotted pilgrimage. This time the drosky was driven up to the door, the driver paid and dismissed, and Radaloff entered with the confident step of a visitor on familiar ground. The place was a bookseller's shop. Indic a t i n g a fine edition of Tennyson which was conspicuously displayed, Radaloff signified a desire to examine It more closely. With a polite bow •the proprietor, taking the work, begged his customer to examine it at \s leisure, at the same time leading le way to a private office in the rear t h e store.

Especially was this true of a recent number of a publication bearing the imprint of a Geneva publishing house. It gave a thrilling account of the recent death by starvation of a number of political exiles in Toboiek in Western Siberia. "Let the monster," concluded this article, "pay the penalty of his crimes. His hands are bathed in the blood of the innocent, and the avenger who shall put an end to his bloody career will be blessed by the Russian people for all time to come." Within four days after its,publication in Geneva the article had found Its way into St. Petersburg; had been reproduced and scattered broadcast throughout the empire. It was on the first discovery of this paper that Gortshakoff had summoned the minishU father to propose as a matter of form* and Alexia bad proposed in a perfunctory way, bees accepted in a half-hearted, listless style as something that could not be helped, and then be went off to the wars to win the giory that had gilded his career ever since."

JShe^was a true type of the upper class German, and although she had lived most of her life in Russia and spoke the language like a native, she had never -etrtfrely-iost-her-nat4onal characteristics. Her pink and white complexion, light blue eyesv and wealth of light golden hair, gave her somewhat the appearance of a great doll of the most approved pattern. A letter she had been reading had fallen from her hand and she sat, with a rather serious look upon her face, gazing out of the window. "Poor child." That was all; and having murmured the words, almost involuntarily, the baroness relapsed into her reverie. Alone in the world, for her marriage had been childless, the baroness found a certain degree of happiness in,sharing other people's miseries. When Mrs. Paulina L. Stearns, wife of Hon. Justus S. Stearns, candidate for governor of Michigan, died Thursday evening after an illness of less than .three weeks. The cause df death was an attack of acute kidney trouble, which the ablest physicians of Chicago were unable to conquer or allay. Two weeks ago Mrs. Stearns returned from the south, going to Chicago for treatment of a supposed malarial disorder. riiyulcians' there offered her no hope whatever, and the came home to die. Mrs. Stearns'was «H years old, having been bortTNov. 24, 1849, nt Conneaut, O. She was married in 186S to Justus S. Stearns and came to Lud- Ington in 1876. That city has been her home ever since. Mrs. Stearns was a sister of Mrs. Catherine Morrow, formerly Mrs. Eber B. Ward, of Detroit; Thomas R. Lyon, of Chicago, and Mrs. James Wade, -wife of Gen. James Wade, who is now in command of the United"'States troops In the Philippines. Her death is a terrible blow to the family and relatives. Both Mr.. Stearns and his son,. Robert L. Stearns, were with Mrs. Stearns at the end. Ml** E»!cr*« Story. It now appears that the assault committed upon Miss Marjope Esler, c< Sault Ste. Marie, Tlrurgdjiy night was probably with murderous intent and that *he was not attacked by an unknown man, as she at first told. The girl fails to stick to her first story and has tckT several since she was taken to the hospital. Among others, and one which is substantiated by tbo story of another woman who is acquainted with her and by the employes of the street railway on the Fort street line, is that she went to the fort on Thursday night on foot by the way of South street to meet a soldier with, whom she had been going. She refuses to tell who the man was, saying that she does not know who hit her. Several soldiers who are known to have gone with Miss Esler are under surveillance and it is believed that the one who assaulted her will be -found out soon.

There was but one family, however, to whom she was always at home and in whose house she found congenial "companionship. Strangely enough, the house was that of Constantine Karsicheff, minister of police. Not that between the cold, haughty and ambitious countess and the warmhearted and affectionate German lady there could be much in common. The intercourse between the baroness and the Countess Karsicheff was confined "fT/SA&e£:5£7VT roztz: . . . ' • • maniac, and his reputation as a collector of the rare and curious in books and prints was well known. Hence it was no uncommon thing for the possessor of choice literary treasures to call to dispose of works that possessed sufficient value to be deemed worthy a place in such illustrious company. When the baroness entered, a tall man, bearing in his every appearance the marks of the student and scholar, arose and'bowing respectfully said: "I have taken the liberty, Madame Baroness, of calling to ask your grac ious inspection of this work"—laying a large book elegantly bound on the table. "It is a present to me from an English friend—Professor Muller of Oxford. My circumstances are such that I am obliged to part with it—for —for—for" and a suspicious huskiness tn his voice gave evidence that some to those social amenities ana everyday courtesies thaTttass enrreht'fir ciety. and are sometimes mistaken for friendship. —Between the baroness—ana—01 ga, however, there was a deep affection. Had they been mother and child it could not have been more profound and sincere. In fact, Olga Karsicheff, loving and gentle as she was by nature, had never felt for her own mother anything like the love she bestowed on the baroness. Nor is this to be wondered at. Katherlne* Karsicheff was neither of a loving nor a lovable nature, and the gentle Olga could recall $he tears shed in childish sorrow at many a repulse of the girlish affection offered to her mother only to be refused. And so it happened that the baroness became the repository of Olga's childish affections. Always earnest and ^^oughtful, Olga now seemed to be under the influence of a deeper feeling than usual. With affectionate concern the baroness could not fail to perceive that Olga was daily becoming more and more preoccupied with her *own thoughts, and that on more than one occasion her reveries were ended by a sigh. She" knew Olga's melancholy to be duo to the odious position in which she was placed.

The story—rather the manner in which it had been told, for, the story was an old one—she had heard it a score of times—had touched her. "That is for Madame le Baroness to decide." "Oh, no!" exclaimed the baroness. "I could not think of such' a thing. Besides," she added, "I am no Judge of the value of rare books." "We professors have heard differently, madame, and it would be difficult to make the literati of St. Petersburg believe it of the possessor of the finest library in the city." "What is the book?" "A volume of the poems of Alfred Tennyson, and the rarest and most valuable edition published. " I t is too great a treasure" for an humble professor like myself to possess, however much I may appreciate it.

BOWKN, Owner. iver Kootrn the Luxury ot a Shelter or a Bed. The Eskimo dog from his birth to his 'death, which in many instances is a violent one, never knows the InxXiry of shelter or a bed. He spends his'existence outdoors and appears to be far more comfortable in winter than in summer. The pups when hardly able to toddle instinctively show an ambition to run with sleighs (they never bark) and join with their treble squeals the enthusiastic chorus of bowls with which—the Eskimo—dog—i^ypHphiy greets the first fall of snow. The ambition of the young dops is soon taken advantage of by the Eskimos.

A servant entered. "Say to Herr Barosky I wish to see him here" "Pardon, madame, but Herr^ Ba« rosky left &e house an hour ago,' saying if he were asked for that he would soon return."

Making a low bow, expressive of his gratitude, the professor stood until the door had closed, and then a startling change took place. Instead of the slow, deliberate movements of the old scholar, Michael Radaloff, with a gleam of triumph in his eye, once more was the alert and „ active agent"bf police. Going tiptoe to the door with catlike motion, he listened for a moment, and then with rapid movements he proceeded to a desk which stood in the apartment, and producing a bunch of skeleton keys soon had its contents at his disposal. A hurried examina4 tion of one paper after another follow- _e<L The face of the searcher was _a study. Eagerness, disappointment, anxiety, anticipation—one expression after another chased itself across the earnest face. k Suddenly he uttered an exclamation A secret drawer had rewarded his search. He grasped the papers the receptacle contained. A great flush of joy passed over his face! The drawer was speedily closed. Another moment, and all the documents in the desk were rearranged as nearly as possible in their former order—all but two—the° two found in the secret drawer, guarded by the -concealed spring. Then the lock was locked. Kadaloff, drawing himself erect, stood for a moment like some conqueror who had won a great victory, and as a great flash of exultation lighted up the sallow face, he exclaimed. "By Holy Nicholas, the game is mine!" 4«ama of "Darkest Russia," and it la w«U that we should know who and wfcat he is at the start * - About fifteen years befojse dttr. story opens there lived In St. Petersburg a famous teacher of masicj teamed Michael 3ato#ky. He was a; man of brilliant attainments; having' 'traveled mutfh throughout Europe, and having a wide acquaintance among some of the leading musicians of the principal cities, of the continent; An offer, through an English nobleman of high rank, who was his admirer, induced Barosky to visit London/ where he speedily became known as one of the great masters, and where on more than one occasion he had been "commanded" to play before the" queen. This signal recognition of his abilities opened his career under the most flattering auspices, and Michael Barosky, within a year after his arrival at the English capitanTound himself well ad vanced on the highroad to fame und' fortune. Within twelve months after his first arrival he sent for .his wife Alexandrine and his two children— Ivan, a boy of eight years, and tbe bright-eyed little Ilda, who was two years younger—determined to make his home permanently in London. Several years of peace, prosperity and happiness went by. Then there came a change, as all things human change—during the fourth year of his life in England afi event occurred which forever darkened the life of Michael Barosky. Alexandrine, his young and beautiful wife, caught a se^elrencoTa; ItdevelopedrapidiyraTidin spite of all that the highest medical science could suggest, she sank rapidly, and in less than a fortnight died in the arms of her agonized hus- CHAf>TER IV. The Student of the Pplytechnique. Five minutes later, a young man, apparently of some two of three and twenty, years, of singularly easy and graceful bearing, entered the room. The learned professor was too deep- ~ly tmgrosbed In an examlualluu uf a superb copy of Schiller to notice his •entrance, and hfs eyes were only lifted from the page when the young man spoke. "Is this Herr Professor Kasovitch?' The "Herr Professor" was deeply embarrassed. He arose and apologized for his preoccupation. Mr. Barosky, with a glance at the card he held in his hand, said in a pleasant tone, "Pray be seated." Radaloff £ook in every feature of 77ZST GAME- /5 /77//rr the young mail Iwfum him. Tliuu \\\$ picked up the volume, of Tennyson ^.and said: "Knowing the reputation *of the Baroness von Rhinebergjas a connoisseur in works of this kind, and being In need of money, I wished to dispose of this book.". "The baroness explained to me," said the young, man, and began an examination of the work. . While he is th\& engaged let us get -better acquainted with the young man who has just been introduced. He is band. Michael Barosky and his motherless children embarked with the remains of the beloved wife and mother for Russia, and Alexandrine was laid to rest in the little village of Feirof, where she was born. Two days after the funeral Michael Barosky was stricken down by illness, and for weeks hovered between life and death. His recovery began at last, but life brought no Joy to the stricken man, for he was blind! In this hapless state he again returned to St. Petersburg. The loving kindness and tender solicitude of Ivan and Ilda softened the cruel blow that had thus befallen him. But even this consolation was -not of long duration. In the archives of the secret pol'ce of St. Petersburg were certain reports of conversations overheard in Barosky's house in London-—of threats against the czar, of conspiracies, of revolutionary schemed discussed and projected. It was not pretended that Michael Barosky himself was responsible for these utterances. But he had harbored beneath his roof' those who had spoken and who were enemies of the state, and to this extent was particeps critninis. So it was, that one eventful evening, as Michael Barosky sat listening he had engaged to translate Into Russian some English books. He rapidly gained the respect and esteem and confidence of the baroness, and at the? time when he enters upon our horizon, was trusted with the direction sf her .correspondence. * ilda Barosky, at the time when her father had' been so ruthlessly torn from hit children/had Just entered her tenth year. The cruel separation had made a profound Impression upon her. She had been her father's idol and, since the death of the beloved Alexandrine, his heart-strings twined themselves store than ever around his motherless little daughter/ Early in life Ilda had given evidence of the possession of musical talent of a high' order, and as soon as she was able to hold an Instrument her father had begun giving her instructions on the violin. . The result was that she was now something of a musical prodigy, and Banker Strauss took care that the child's musical gifts should be carefully fostered and developed. Ilda began her career as a student at the Conservatoire soon after her father's arrest, and it was not long until her talents attracted attention. The result was that, even, before she graduated she was frequently given oppor- NOVIL" mm Engtoh JurJat HtT* mmmmjtm mm to his little Ilda playing on the violin, -therewas a violent—kaoek4ag--at—the door. -It was opened by Ivan. Another moment, and there entered an officeraccompanied by four soldiers. Going up to the blind man, the officer, placing his hand^on his shoulder, said: "Michael Barosky, I arrest you in the name of the czar!" AH the demands for a statement of the crime of which he stood accused were denied, and five minutes later the unfortunate father was torn from the grasp of his children, who with cries and shrieks clung to him in very agony of childish despair. In less than an hour the gates of the great Petropaulovsk prison had closed behind him, and Michael Barosky was dead to the world. Before leaving London Michael Barosky had deposited a very large sum of money, the results of his brilliant professional career. This money had been made payable by exchange on the great banking house of Von Rhineberg, Strauss & Co. After waiting for some time, and receiving no word from their blind client, the bankers instituted a search for hf5h. Then came the intelligence of his arrest. In his earlier days MlchaeT Barosky had been the teacher of the children of the Banker Strauss, who entertained for him a high regard, and so it Wag but natural that un hearing of the misfortune of their father that the care for the children whose fortune he had in hio hooping.—Tho rooult won that Ivan, th£ boy; now about approachirig his twelfth year, was placed in an excellent private school, and the little Ilda received a warm"place in the banker's family. j Ivan proved himself £n earnest student, and at the timb when we first meet • h*m he was pne of the most brilliau;. graduates J of . the SL Petersburg Polytechnique. It Was white in tKe tome of Banker Strauss that the Baroness von Rhineberg_flrst. tunities of displaying her talents before many brilliant assemblages of the Russian aristocracy. It was while here that Jlda Barosky formed the acquaintance of a fellow student, Anna Dorski, and the friendship of the young girls ripened into a tender affection for each other, Ilda took up her home in the Dorski's house and for years lived as one of the family. Anna's father, like the father of Ilda, was an eminent musician, and when any specially elaborate fete or celebration was given in St. Petersburg, it was considered incomplete unless the musical arrangements were directed by M. Dorski. We have thus given in. brief, an outline of Michael Barosky and his family, and-will now__return to Ivan and M. Radaloff, and follow their conversation. Radaloff, while Ivan hurriedly glanced through the book, sat watching him with intense interest, but there was no indication of it in the appearance he presented when Ivan raising hi3 eyes from the book met those of the supposed professor. —"Thin book/' said Ivan, "whilp a OF 6U1CIDE. mstlt ghot fry •ra» I*rd ^biafr Ju^cej} Hinkfipd ,«t Badlands? jfcflfHtea ft a former -sentury, no*«i«M»Undlag ^ high p o * Uon^towai* a* uaal e£lial*u«te* determined to shuffle off thjs mortal c o l ^ Bu£*he feaajfrd tfliecmmtt suicide; because at the Uxae a verdict of felo de se followed as a matter of course, and t,be bpdy "df fhf suicide was buried -at toft crossroads with a stake thrust through i t Further, he had to'avert the consequences to his relatives^ forfeiture of his goods, which,, west also one of the penalties for self-destruction.

"Could Intoxicated Wasps. Wasps have a great fondness for overripe fruit, especially pears, plums and sweet apples. The sugar of these fruits has a tendency to pass into a kind of alcohol in the ordinary process of rotting, and after imbibing large quantities of this liquid the wasps become outrageously intoxicated. They crawl away in the grass In a semi-somnolent condition and remain till the effects have passed off, when they will go at it again. It is while in this condition that they do their worst stinging. A person receiving a sting from one of these .intoxicated wasps will suffer severely from nerve poisoning for days.

"I was not aware of it." "The baroness,—I think, said that you received it as a present from a friend in England." "From Professor Muller of Oxford." 'Indeed." There was something in the intonation of the word that put Radaloff on his guard in a moment. He fe.lt that in some way, he knew not what, he had made a blunder, and he waited with anxiety the discovery of the particular point in which he had erred. "May I ask if the Professor Muller of Oxford is in St. Petersburg at present?" "Oh, no, in England; at Oxford—at the university." "But he has been here, in Russia." "Perhaps—not lately to my knowledge; /wc met in Berlin last." "Then the book was sent to you from England." "Pardon me, I think I already mentioned that," Radaloff said, with some impatience.

This is a settled fact of human experience Everybody must expect to be caught somewhere or somehow. Perhaps it will be w e t feet, or a draught, or damp clothes, or it may be one of a thousand other little mishaps, but no one is shrewd enough to always avoid the inevitable catching cold.

You Cau Acquire th« Art by Study, , Cure ami Practice. The art of talking well—that is, with ease and intelligently—Interesting those who listen and, rarest gift of all, leading thoiu to talk their best in reply, is a natural gift. There is no doubt of this. The gift goes with what we call "personal magnetism." Yet one who has not this can learn to talk pleasantly, fluently ami agreeably. First let him talk miich to "himself, not audibly, but forcing himself to formulate his ideas. What a man thinks clearly he should be able to put into words. Next let,him study what will please those with whom he talks rather than what interests 'himself; Please note that I say "talks with" and not "to." There is a great—an essential—difference, all the difference between conversing and lecturing. "You never heard me preach, I believe?" said Coleridge to Charles Lamb. -.

A writer in "Law Notes," speaking of the late John MacMahon, says: "Muc- Mahou's style was painfully heavy, his uttet-auce a little thick, ami he was entirely devoid of humor. His hearing at times was not ot the best, and for that reason he thought It was the best policy to agree.with any remark that might be made by the judge before whom he wits appearing, even though he did not happen to hear what had been said. On one occasion he was appearing before u master of the rolls, who thought that MacMahon was arguing rather elementary law for such a court as his. 'You are speaking as if I were a mere tyro in the law, Mr. MacMahon,' said the master of the rolls testily. 'Quite so, my lord,' said counsel airily, proceeding with his argument, oblivious to and regardless of what the judge had said." An Odd Escape.

T A K E NO S U B S T I T U T E Insist on having CRYST BAKING An amusing story Is told of an old seaman on one of the United States cruisers In the north Atlantic squadron. He was not a person of wide affections, Uyt be had a warm place in his heart for a young ensign who had been kind to him in many little ways. One day a landsman fell from the rigging to the water, and as he could not swim be would have been drowned but for a young officer who sprang In after him and held him up till assistance came. Later the young officer received a complimentary letter from the secretary of the navy. Every one rejoiced but the old seaman; he coveted the letter for his eusign. "That's a nice thing to have, a letter like that," he said a few days later. "You ought to have one." , "I don't quite see how I can get one," laughed the ensign. "Well, see here," said the old man eagerly. "Tomorrow night I'll be in lhe_niain chains, fussing with something or other, and I might fall In, ami you could jump/after me." "That,would be very good of you," said the ensign gravely, "but, you see, I'm nor? a good . swimmer by any means." "Ho, that's no matter!" Baid the old seaman. 'Til hold you up till the boat comes."

The pitch of the human voice depends primarily upon the number of vibrations per second of the vocal cords, and these, in their turn, depend on the length, size and degree of tension of the cords, whicb^ increase in length with the growth of the larynx. One of the deepest bass notes, fcatn the greater length of the cords, has only eighty double vibrations a second, while a soprano voice can give 902 such vibrations in the same time. The size of a lad's larynx is, rbughly, that of a woman's, but when the piping schoolboy is shooting up into manhood his larynx' grows rapidly and tlu» vocal cords become elongated nearly in the proportion of three and a. half to two. The cartilages by which their tension is regulated also share in this growth, as is seen by the swelling of the so called "Adam's apple." Now, all these parts do 'not increase with equal rapidity: hence the muscular control, which must be very exact, is rendered uncertain and the voice is said to "break." A ~ .similar change takes place in the cr >e of women, but very much less in amount, and a further compensation in the formation of the uppeV "art of the larynx serves t••> disgui:-' V. > I n M l e n l s a n W o r k . 1 ' Michigan Patrons are ever awake to new methods for advancing the interests and the usefulness of the Order. Their latest, "organized force" in the forward movement is a department of grange supervision and inspection. The chairman of the executive committee of the Michigan state grange, Mr. F . W. Kedfern, says that "owing to the rapid Increase in membership and the desirability of keeping in close touch with our Pomona and subordinate granges in their efforts to assimilate, educate and instruct this new membership in the duties, obligations, privileges and opportunities given by our Order to its members it was thought best to present to our state grange a proposition for the. creation of a new department to be known as the "department of grange supervision and Inspection." This recommendation contained provisions fbr the appointment of one general and thirteen special deputies; also for the division of the state into districts, each with,an approximately equal number of granges. This recommendation received favorable recognition and was made operative by the action of the state grange. In accordance wjth the above, ,jone general and thirteen special deputies have been appointed. The state has been districted, and these gentlemen have comruencedjwork. It«is the duty of tlese^eputiei~t6 vIstF ahdHE-^ speet each and every grange in t h e state, each deputy in the district to which he has been assigned to co-operate, advise, instruct and iiL._every legitimate way strive to build up and strengthen the Order." =E= Tne Outer I n Main*. Maine- has reason to be proud of ber growth in number of granges and their large average membership. While that state has but about h" subordinate granges, in total membership she ranks third in the Union. Seventy-four per cent of ber granges own their own halls, and these cost from $2,000 to $7.- 000 each. Ogdensburg, St. Lawrence county. X. Y., wants the next meeting of the state grange.

ThiB may have been due to the well known fact that nothing brings men of different races together more than maritime and commercial enterprise, or, still more probably, because they were awept Jn at Palos, when Columbus put the press gang to work, as be was authorized to do by Ferdinand and Isabella. The names of these men, as given by Navarrete, were Jallarte de Lajes, Ingles (probably Arthur Lake, English), and Guillermo Ires, naturel de Galney, en Irlanda (probably William Herriea or Kice, native of Galway, in Ireland). These two men were among the forty whom Columbus left behind in the fort constructed in Hispaniola before he sailed for Europe, who all met their death at the hands of the natives before the great discoverer returned, owing to their disregard of his express directions. ~Y *toeNliniueou^ ^unt Ufa fuubniij gigpauh.

T h e A p p l e , The* apple is not considered to be a complete food in itself, but on the food list it has a value far above the nutriment it possesses. Apples aid the stomach in the digestion of other foods, and therefore the best results are obtained from eating them after rather than before meals. After partaking of an. unusually heavy dinner'the eating of an apple will be found to facilitate an early digestion and afford great relief from the sufferings attendant upon indigestion. \ 1 I We measure' minds by their stature.

That so many grange meetings are dull and featureless is due in too many cases to the fact that the lecturer makes no future preparation for the meeting, says Overseer Fuller of New York. There is great need for special preparation on the part of the lecturer, that no time be wasted and every moment filled with something which will not only entertain, but set the members thinking. The lawyer who goes Into court knows that in order to win his case he must thoroughly prepare himself beforehand, for he fully appreciates the fact that he has to deal with men whose brains are every whit as keen as his own. The teacher who goes into a1 class room of bright boys and girls knows if he would k e e p t h e interest and attention of those schools he must be thoroughly prepared to present his subject at every point. The same is true of thelecturer who would keep up the interest in the'grange meetings. On the subject of the lecturer's work Mrs. T. D.

My off foot has an uncomfortable way of jumping around by ~TTself—has had—it—ever since it was hit hard by a shell at Chickamaugua—but I reckon it will marcn with, its mate if we can follow the fife and drum."

Do we march in the rear of a crack organization, every member of which was born since we saved the country? Not 4f I know it," and the old general pulled bis white mustache with military severity. "They'll have a whole band and a, bugler—the other fellows," suggested another veteran. "We'd have a whole band too if we imd*'^4ef4~scOoiany_ol__c1ui^ju^mb^ on southern battlefields. We donT want noise and show to remember "«Well, major, maybe we can't keep up with tho young fellows of the latest war, and I expect that the angel Gabriel couldn't, keep us in step if he blew a bugle for us to march by. But give us the old flfe-and-drum tunes of 'Dixie' or 'The Girl I Left Behind Me' and see if we don't keep step," and the sergeant bobbed around to an impromptu air with all the agility of a boy of 60. "If~T ani expected to march on Decoration day with a brand-new organization, new flags, new uniform, I for one don't care to go^' said Major Krummer, "and if the old fife-anddrum tunes aren't in it neither am I. It makes an old soldier's blood tingle to hear the same music that we marched by HO many years ago. It's more appropriate to the day—a memorial in itself." -. . "I allow," remarked Capt'n Hull, 'that we aren't as spry as we were forty years ago. This con-founded knee of mine has a sort of spring-halt action that is very unreliable, and I've been wondering whether it wouldn't be wise for us to ride to the cemetery en Memorial day in landaus as the committee suggested." There was silence for a moment, then a sharp voice piped up;— "When I go to the cemetery on Decoration day in a carriage I'll save yoa the trouble of bringing me back. I can march with tlxe best and blow the tunes on the /fife at the same time. And if an^ vet' here thinks he can't keep st^p let him ask General Brinkerhcff/to give him a lesson. Huh. I gue3s/ the Johnnies thought we could keep step, and we haven't forgotten how." "What's/that? What's that?" Gen. Hascall, a veteran of veterans, had the floor;7 "Who says we can't march and keep step or do any other maneuver demanded of us? 77ho aro those our comrades by,—Every year there's fewer of us and more in the ranks of the dead. They won't have us for living pictures with our torn flags and halting steps much longer. Then the Sons of Veterans can have it all their own way.—What say, CQptain?" J'l'm with you," said the captain, and if we vets can't maTch~arthe head of the column, I don't take any second place. And the fife and drum that inspired us to victory in the old days is good enough for me. No brass band and,bugles in mine, thank you." "Does it go?" asked Adjutant Hatch. "It goes," was the response of a dozen voices, and a wild hip, hip, hurrah, made the air resonant. Then the old soldiers swapped memories tender and sad, with facts interspersed. Apropos of Gen. Grant, Major Krummer said: "Wo drank from the same canteen. I was in tho trenches at Vicksburg, when he came up tired and dusty, and tapped me on the shoulder. 'Where can I get a drink?' he asked. f unslung my canteen and offered it /to him. It was Ih^alf full of warm brackish water, but I doubt if any champagne he drank .later on ever tasted as good. He drank greedily and thanked me for the privilege." "Somebody's walking over my arm," said a comrade, flipping an artificial member, 'I left mine at Chattanooga, and every time anyone walks over the spot where it is buried I feel a twinge. Fact."

The verb applies to either the act of letting some one have property for hire or the act of paying some one hire for property. Marry is n o better. 'I just married a charming woman,' says your friend the preacher, and if he has been a bachelor you do not know whether to congratulate him or inquire the amount of his fee." Anaesthetics Cause Deaths. The annual returns of the British registrar-general show a steady increase of mortality from anaesthesia since 1863. Dr. ,A. D.

A woman in society is oblfgeSloTceep' late hours. She must attend receptions and balls. She seldom allows herself a quiet evening a t home. Her whole time is taken up in keeping engagements or entertaining in her own home. Her system becomes completely run down as a consequence. She soon finds herself in a condition known as systemic catarrh.* This has also been called catarrhal nervousness. If every society woman could know the value of Peruna at such a time, if they could realize the invigorating, strengthening effect that Peruna would have, how much misery could be avoided. Letters from society women all over the United States testify to the fact that Peruna is the tonic for a run down, depleted nervous system. Tired, Nervous, Achlnf, Tit»- bling, Sleepiest, Btoo<Hets.

Is our name for the patent Separating Grate and Check Plate in the famous RED RIVER SPECIAL THRESHER. It has the Big Cylinder, with lots of concave and op_\Q grate surface. It has the Man Behind the Qua, that does most of the separating right at the cylinder. Besides these, it has all the separating* capacity of other machThes. a The average old-style small cylinder thresher wastes enough grain and time to pay your thresh bill. Why not save the grain ordinarily put into the straw stack? Why not save the time which the ordinary threshing outfit wastes for you? This can be done by employing the Rbl) RIVER SPECIAL. It runs right along, saving your grain and saving time, regardless of conditions. As the modern self-binder is ahead of the old reaper of forty yaars agt>, so is the Big Cylinder and Man Behind the) Gun ahead of the small cylinder oldstyle thresher. \ The old-style thresher with its small cylinder and limited separatirg^capacity, has stood for years without much, improvement. .

"To be sure," said oue, "but we have hard work t o convince our patients t h a t we do. 'It you only' knew how this beastly stuff tastes, doctor, you wouldn't nsk me to take It'—that is w h a t they say. And they are hard headed people, too, who say that, people who are by no means aivlugMu delirium. It's hard ever t o convince them that a doctor has a tasting acquaintance with his medicine. *• 'How did you find out about it?' is one of their trump questions. 'Yoii have never been laid up with all the diseases in the dictionary. How did you learn what the different remedies taste like?'

The ancient .Jews considered it the greatest insult that could be offered to a man to pluck his beard. It was a notion of the Mohammedans . that, though Noah reached his thousandth birthday, no hair of his blessed beard fell off or became white; but the Mo haramedans had no more authority for t h a t than for their belief that the devil has but one solitary long balr for a beard. It was, as some say, in order to distinguish themselves from the. ancient Israelites that the followers of Mohammed cropped the beutd; but Mohani' med, as we know, sanctioned the dye lug of the beard and preferred a cane color because that wa# the traditional hue of Abraham's beard. More than that, have we not the .common Mohammedan oath, "By the beard of tUp prophet," a s well as the supplication, "By your beard, or the life of your beard?" Ruskln'M l m p u U l v e Generosity.

On reaching home he gave orders to his solicitor to look out for and buy a cottage with a garden in Itadley and have a deed of gift made out in the little girl's name, which was done accordingly, and she, full of wonder, w i t h her astonished parents, entered a t once into possession of it—From "Ruskin In Oxford."

The history of this old psalm tune, which every one has been accustomed to hear ever since lie can remember, is somewhat shrouded in mystery. Martin Luther has generally been Co#i« sidered the author/ but it has been pretty satisfactorily shown that it was composed in the sixteenth century and certainly - previous to 1546, by Gulllaume le Frane of Rouen. In the ccurse of time its arrangement has undergone repeated altera* tions, and it is said that as it origin* ally appeared it was of a more lively character than at present.

There Is such a fad for making all manner of pretty and useful articles from handkerchiefs that manufacturers have vied with each other in the production of artistic effects in printed, embroidered and lace trimmed hand- t FercMeFs, especially for purposes o T j ^ * ^ fancy work. , The handkerchief fad has unnumbered followers, for the reason that it affords occupation of a simple and easy character, and the results are always of some use. Pillow shams and cushion covers, alike, are lovely when made of fine laee trimmed handkerchiefs or finely embroidered ones. There are so many sizes of these that one has only to use the smallest/size for cushion covers \(i\\\d the largest for pillow shams. For the centre a pretty idea is to have a single handkerchief with a very deep border, and then embroider the initial iu the centre of the square. Handkerchiefs make charming ruffles and frills for underwear, as the corners are so decorative and can be joined or left separate at will.

Once more Ivan carelessly turned the leaves, and then without looking up asked, In a matter-of-fact way: "You desire to sell the book—what Is the price?" "I preferred to leave that to the judgment of one who is better able to form an opinion of its value than I am myself." Ivan bowed. "You will pardon me if I say that the book Ls not of sufficient value to find a place, as a rare volume, among the Baroness von Rhineberg's collection; but since you desire to dispose of it, and under the circumstances, I may say that the value of this volume St. Petersburg is twelve roubles." Radaloff arose. "I shall not trouble you further. My lpression was that It Is worth three ~or four times as much, or I should not have troubled the baroness- to exam- Hfce- hour-of--eleven when- -Nicholas jffii ine it." "I hope you do not think I undervalue it," said Ivan. Radaloff shrugged his shoulders slightly. "My compliments to Madame the Baroness," he said, with a movement toward the door from the library into the great hall, "and please say that Professor Kasovitch regrets that he should have trespassed on her kindness with a book from the learned Professor Muller worth only twelve roubles. Ivan rang the bell. A servant appeared. "I shall convey your words to the haroness. Meanwhile, in case you •still doubt my^Judgment as to its value, if you will turn to the page next t h e last you will find the price in the publishers' figures in Russian charac-, ters, and judging by the freshness of t h e marks, written only a short time ago! Good afternoon. . Batof, show the gentleman out." CHAPTER V. The Fete in the Nazimoff Palace. The grand fete in the Nazimoff palace, given by Paul, Count Nazimoff, in honor bf^he arrival home of his only son, Calonel Alexis ' Nazimoff, "had begun. Paul Nazimoff, a tall, soldierly- looking man of some fifty-seven •or eight years, dressed in full uniform of a general of cuirassiers, stood web •coming his guests as they arrived. The haughty expression on the face <qf the old soldier, an expression of lofty superiority, sat well upon him. For perhaps there was not among the Russian nobility a family whose name -was greater. Paul, Count Nazimoff, as he stood there, bore right worthily the pride and dignity which came tQ him by inheritance and the added honors which a g r a t e f u l sovereign countess herself would see her child reign in thl3 magnificent Nazimoff palace as a .very queen in the social realm of the capital. Olga Karsicheff presented a strikingly beautiful picture, and the hum of admiration which followed her appearance showed that the assemblage was fully appreciative of her surpassing charms. In striking contrast to most of those present she wore no jewelry save a diamond spray, which glittered in her wealth of beautiful hair; and this absence of ornament heightened and emphasized the beauty of the patrician face. Her eyes were of that rarely beautiful color, a deep dark brown; The wistful expression lent to them, large and lustrous as they were, an additional charm. In a word, Olga karsicheff was the perfect type of a beautiful and attractive girl. The great clock had just rung out Karsicheff, pushing his way as rapidly as possible through the throng, approached his father, and with a meaning look indicated that he desired to speak with him alone. The appearance of General Karsicheff at this moment Indicated that he was ill at ease. Already he had sent, three different messengers in search of Radaloff, only to receive the answer that Radaloff had not returned. "Well, what is it, Nicholas?" impatiently asked the general, when a few minutes later he found himself alone with his son. Then, as his eye fell again upon Nicholas and he noted the expression of the face, he added, with an appearance of _anxiety he could no longer conceal: "What is it? Don't keep :me In suspense." r "There is a rumor in the clubs tonight that a change in the ministry is imminent." % "Well, there are always rumors. Is that all? That is nothing." Nicholas hesitated. "Well, well, well?" "There was a rumor as I came here that another proclamation of the Nihilists has been found in the winter palace." "My God." General Karsicheff as he uttered the words staggered with the force of the ~blow. If this news were true it meant but one thing—his official end, his social doom, his political death. A moment more and he recovered himself. His face was deathly pale and he gave evidence of laboring under intense excitement. "Who—who found it?" "I have cot heard." "My God! if this is known to Gortschakoff I am undone. Have yous heard? tell me the worst." had hastened to bestow for gallantry on many a field. For himself the fete had no particular pleasure, except in «o far as it emphasized the welcome back from the sterile plains of Turkestan to his only son, who had won his spurs as became a Nazimoff. Mingling with his guests, with a word to one, and a smile to another, and a gentle, almost tender sentence o to—the beautiful 01gaT tha % passed through the brilliant g and congratulated himself on fact that even royalty could hardly' have surpassed him in the magnificent splendor of the» entertainment. The Countess Katherine Karsicheff was, next to the host and to her daughter Olga, the most observed of the hundreds in "the brilliant throng. Wearing a curious but exceedingly **I fearl^-is worse=tha>neven-that— I have heard that the proclamation was shown to the czar himself!" Karsicheff sank into a chair. H b head fell upon his hands as he bent over, the figure of a broken man. Nicholas Karsicheff, cold, bloodless, heartless, even when his own family was concernedy felt a touch of pity fnr Ha father Placing his hand on oo .evidence against them—but what of that? t This latest ourraga, tkii proclamation' will justify1' extreme measures.; Tel*/ Colo&ei He4fni*n to have his men ready/' I will give him )- the list to-night. Yes, I will strike a blow. I Will do something that will at least give me a breathing spell until I can find the fountain bead of this damnable stream of revolution and stop the spring at its source." Five minutes later Nicholas Karsicheff was on his way, as fast as horses could carry him,, to the residence of the prime minister of the imperial council, and General Karsicheff, having recovered in some degree his composure, was once more mingling with the guests. He had been in but a moment when Count Nazimoff approached him with a rather amused expression on his face. He held a letter in his hand. "I say, Karsicheff," said the count, "you remember that extraordinary American we met at the dinner given by the American minister some three years ago?"

There was no answer. And now Nicholas Karsicheff bega'n to realize that even more than hi? father's position w a s at stake. The peril to his own future; the blow to his mother's pride; the danger to his sister's happiness; all these flashed through his brain. What could be done? Something must be done tc avert the threatening lightning boli: which might strfke at any moment "His mother." That was it! Her influence, her favor at court, the power of her family connections—all, all of these must be invoked to avert the danger, to prevent at least a change in General. Karsicheff's position until after the marriage of Olga. "I will summon^ my mother," began Nicholas, leaning over the general. Karsicheff raised his head, and grasping Nicholas by the arm with a grip of iron held him fast. "No, no, not that. To tell t h e countess now. were madness. It would drive uer insane. Wait, wait, let me think." With white lips and deeply marked brow the minister of police, his hand pressed hard against ..his fevered brain, rose to his feet.

I—" Before he could finish the sentence the attention of Count Nazimoff was directed to the great hall. There was some commotion and an expression of ^curiosity among the guests grouped at the entrance. * "Thank you—that's all right; I can And my way. I am a friend of the family." These words, in choice^English a marked American accent, were uttered as he~ entered the room by a gentleman who had evidently just arrived. He was a man of same fortyfive years of age, with a_cleaji-cut figure, and a face which betrayed a singular mixture of earnest resolution and good humor.

Alexis Nazimoff was a splendid specimen of the young Russian officer, and as he stood by his father a moment after his arrival and received a g r e e t i n g from the Karsicheff s, whose welcome quickly followed his entrance, he looked the ideal of the dashing cavalryman. His great coat, cap and sword had been handed to a servant, and his finely proportioned figure w a s revealed to a perfection in the ,uniform which b e c a m e him so well.- His dark eyes, softened by the expression of the emotion with which ho had met his father's greeting, _Hfibj£d_jiJL,jL .face, of singular attractiveness. His hair, of a deep chestnutty browr, matched well the suntanned complexion; and the slightly aquiline nose, finely chiseled, indicated at once the high birth and the strength of character; while the wellformed mouth showed under the dark brown mustache such Jlnes of decision as to indicate that once the lips were drawn together in evidence of a purpose formed, that purpose would be carried out at any cost. Alexis, after greeting his father, had turned to Olga, whom he kissed on both cheeks, but those who noticed the salutation could hardly help coming to t h e conclusion that there was little of. ardor in the act. It was rather the perfunctory salutation of a sister than the ardent greeting, of an affianced wife after a, presumably cruel separation of two long years. As he w a s greeted by one friend after another, Alexis' face indicated the pleasure he felt at the warmth of his reception. He was •*the center of a group, most of whom were old acquaintances, when his father, w h o had observed General Cob^' standing half-concealod at a curtained window as he talked to the Baroness voir Rhineoerger, approached J;he latter^ "My dear baroness, you mu^r not be last with your welcome to X l e x i s — he w a s always a f a v o r i t e / w i t h you, and general Cobb.

"Oh, come now, none of that," began Cobb, " I — - " "The story—tell us t h e story." T h e request c a m e from a dozen voices.

There are a l s o large numbers of donkey drivers waiting with their animals for hire. Although tho wall is a m a s s i v e structure and the gate some fifty feet high, the entrance Is narrow, with a right-angled turn—one of the methods adopted in the old days for defense. Through this narrow gateway there pours an endless stream of c a m e l s , donkeys and footmen all day long. Without the gate you see Jostling camel drivers and camels kneeling to receive their loads. Scores of hucksters are squatting on the ground behind their heap3 of oranges, dates, lemons, onions, radishes and other vegetables. There are also many venders of bread—a staple in Jerusalem, as in all the eastern world; it is piled up in stacks, very much as we handle cordwood here, and with about as much attention to cleanliness. Many of these hucksters h a v e a stock s o small as to be pitiful—some two or three pounds of wormy figs, for example, worth perhaps five cents." A Happy Mother.

T h e story is that the Incas' treasure, withheld from Plzarro and now discovered i n Bolivia, is worth $16,000,000, and that the Indians believe there i s still much more hidden away. Pizarro received a g / e a t sum from the Inca whom h e so cruelly treated and then killed, but in s o doing h e m i s s e d a greater amount, which t h e Inca, hoping t o s a v e his life, promised his tormentor. In this country o n e s o m e t i m e s hears talk of a great golden sun and other treasure hidden securely from t h e early Spaniards. O n e gentleman w h o has t h e blood of Montezuma i n h i s v e i n s and in w h o s e family the traditions of the. t i m e s of t h e conquest^ have been preserved, h a s said that probably fully $80,000,000 worth of treasure escaped the hands o f Cortes and his followers. Where i s this treasure hidden? S o m e have said that it was thrown into Lake Texcoco. and not many y e a r s back a company, well provided with funds, made e x t e n s i v e excavations i n t h e Pedregal, near Coyoacan, on a spot indicated b y tradition. A series of subterranean chambers w a s found, but no golden sun. Both i n Mexico and Peru gold was hidden away from t h e greedy conauistadores by the Indians, who cherished the hope o f m a k i n g a successful rising against their conquerors. That hope has long died away, though much of the hatred for the race of the conquistadores remains in the breast of the aborigine. It i s quite probable that s o m e fine day much of Montezuma's hidden treasure may be found here, by a lucky hit. Perhaps it i s poncealed in an idol cave in the southwestern part of the Sierra surrounding this valley, a cave of which stories have been told among the Indians. W h e n c e has c o m e the gold that Indians living in t h e s e mountains, s o c l o s e t o the city, have brought here and sold t o their legal representative? There i s a mystery in all this, and a greater mystery in t h e whereabouts of Montezuma's treasure w h i c h remains untouched.— Mexican Herald.

I have been using your medicine for a short period and I teejl very much relieved* t is indeed a wonderful medicine be* sides a good tonic "—iff. C. Batter. T h e o n l y rational w a y t o cure dyspepsia is to remove t h e catarrh. Peruna cures catarrh. Peruna does n o t produce artificial digestion. I t c u r e s catarrh and leaves the stomach to perform digestion in a natural w a y . This i s vastly better and safer than resorting to artificial m e t h o d s or narcotics. Peruna h a s cured more caaes of dyspepsia t h a n a l l other remedies combined, s i m p l y because i t cures catarrh wherever located. If catarrh is located in t h e head, Peruna cur«*s it. If catarrh h a s fastened itself i n the throat o r bronchial tubes, Peruna enres it. W h e n catarrh becomes settled in t h e stomach, Peruna cures it, as w e l l in t h i s location a s in a n y o£her. Peruna i s n o t simply a remedy f o r dyspepsia. Peruna Ls a catarrh remedy.

Marvels of the Ganges T h e bank of the river Gange3, says a traveler, is o n e of t h e m o s t picturesque and imposing panoramas you can imagine. It rises fronr the water at a steep grade, and is covered with a series of terraces upon which h a v e -been erected-towers, templeSL^JHQsgjLiejL_ palaces, shrines, platforms and pavilions, bathing--hottsesr-liospiees-fer- pilgrims, k h a n s o r lodging-houses, hospitals and other structures for the acc o m m o d a t i o n s of the millions of people w h o come here from every part of India on religious pilgrimages a n d other missions. These structures represent a n infinite variety of architecture, from t h e most severe simplicity t o the fantastic and grotesque. T h e y are surmounted by domes, pinnacles, minarets, spires, towers, cupolas and canopies; they are buLft/of stone, marble, brick and w o o d ; they are painted in every variety of colors, sober and g a y ; the balconies and windows of many of them are decorated .with .banners, bunting in all s h a p e s and colors, festoons of cotton and silk, g a r l a n d i o f flowers and various expressions of the taste and enthusiasm Df the occupants or owners. From the Sparrow Hills a t Moscow one who has sufficient patience c a n count 555 gilded and painted domes; from the cupola of St. Peter's one may luuk down upon t h c . r o o f o of palaces, Tathedrars, columns, obelisks, arehes and ruins such a s can be seen in no "other place; around"tlre-fire^tower a t Pera are spread the marvelous glories of Stamboul, the Golden Horn and other parts of Constantinople; from the citadel at Cairo you can have a. bird'seye view of o n e of t h e most typical cities of the, east; from t h e Eifel Tower all Paris and its suburb3 may be surveyed, and there are many other striking panoramas of artificial scenery, but- nothing on God's footstool equals t h e picture of t h e holy Hindu city that may be seen from the deck of a boat on t h e Ganges. It has often been described in detail, but it is always new and always different, and it fascinates i t s w i t n e s s e s . There is a repulsiveness about it which few people can o v e r c o m e , but it i s unique and second only to "The"Taj M&hal of all the sights in" India. ~ Disraeli Explained H i s Attitude Toward Gladstone. A short time before his death, Disraeli sat for his portrait to Millais. In his studio hung a proof engraving of Gladstone, ..with . his hands hanging down before him lightly clasped, and an almost beatific expression on h i s face. Millais observed that Disraeli's eyes were frequently bent upon t h e portrait. At length he asked him if he would accept a copy. "I was rather shy of offering it to y o u / ' he apologetically added. "I should be delighted to have it," said Disraeli with what .for him w a s an almost eager manner; "people think that more or less through our political lives I have disliked Mr. Gladstone. To tell the truth,1 my only difficulty in respect t o him has been that, studying him from dayj to day and year by year. I could never, understand him." Discover Fine Glass L a n d . !

It sometimes makes one's blood run cold to see them run up the trees like moonkeys. Two ways are practiced for mounting the trunk. In the case of a small tree, or at an odd moment, the man walks up the trunk, keeping his feet fiat against it and throwing his weight back from it as much as possible, retaining his position at the same time by the tension of his arms. The other aud safer Who Were They? To one great fact do all the most ancient epochs of history bear witness; one and all they prove the existence In a yet more remote past of an already advanced civilization such as could only have been gradually attained after long and arduous groping. Who were the Inaugurators of this civilization? Who were the earliest inhabitants of the earth? To what biological conditions were they subject? What were the physical and climatic conditions of the globe when they lived? By what flora and fauna were they surrounded? But science pushes her Inquiry yet further. She desires to know the origin of the human race—when, how and why men first appeared upon the earth, for, from I whatever point of view he is considered, man must of necessity have had a j beginning.—planners and Monuments Of Prehistoric Peoples." NEW MUSIC FOR WORLD'S FAIR Three Compositions by Famous People. Band Tournament. Mimical people and all who appreciate good music may thank the World's Fair for three notable compositions, written upon the invitation of the Exposition management. These are the "Hymn of the West," by the most distinguished living American poet, Edmund Clarence Stedman, the music for which was written by Professor John K. Paine, who is at the head of the music department of Harvard university; "Louisiana," a march by Frank Vanderstuken, leader of the Cincinnati Orchestra; a waltz, "Along the Plaza," by Henry K. Hadley of New York, who has won his laurels long before this as writer of operatic 'and other musical compositions. This music will be heard publicly for the Irst time upon the opening of the Exposition on Saturday, April 30, and frequently thereafter in the musical programmes of the greatest of world's fairs. These are tbe only official compositions. Thirty thousand dollars will be given In prizes for the best bands at a tournament to be held during the Exposition. All through the World's Fair the musical feature will be prominent. Tbe most famous bands of the world are under contract to participate during considerable periods. Among these are Le Garde Republiealne band of France, the Royal Grenadier band of England, the American National band, Sousa'v band and others. Spotty * » d the Ceeby.

To see as many Df the/sijfhts" bf the great city as possible in the limited time was bis earnest desire, but the hair raising itories he had heard in Tumtochy about London cabmen's charges had not been lost upon him. After a moment's thought, however, he hailed a hansom. | "I'm a stranger here, ye ken/; he said to the driver, "but can ye drive me to Waterloo station in time to catch the I o'clock train?" With a little reflection cabby said he thought he might manage it, and by irivlng by devious ways he managed AD make that twenty minutes' journey last two hours and a half. Arrived at Waterloo, Archibald fastened upon a railway policeman. "Can ye tell me the fare from Euston?" "One and six," said the company's juardian. "Vurry well," said Archie.

One spring it was noticed that the orange tree was drooping, and on- digging down he found that the roofs of the pine, which stood at some distance, had twisted around the taproot of the 'orange tree and were strangling it to death. The offending roots were untwisted and cut away, and the drooping plant revived. The tree eventually died. Then on digging down at a greater depth the clergyman found the pine had attacked the orange root lower down and accomplished Its murderous end.

The states and territories are expending over $7,000,000 in their efforts to show off to best advantage at the Exposition. This is a million and a third more than w a s expended at the Chicago exposition by-the states. In addition to this, large cities in many states will have municipal exhibits, the funds for which are not included in these figures. The municipal exhibit idea is entirely novel. From a number of the Btates there will be prominent county exhibits provided by special appropriation of county funds. This City of £he States presents a picture of surpassing beauty. Nature has done much to aid in the creation of the picture. Never before has any exposition been able to grant such advantageous sites for state buildings.

The important thing to note is that he was riding a •bicycle. Great Britain having Announced t h a t it is "at war with Tibet," one does not have to be a prophet to see where the next great land grab is to be pulled off. One might expect the mothers' congress to make a few rules and regulations for the government of the fathers whose failings they understand so thoroughly.

It is fair to suppose that the case will not go to the Jury under 10 days more. Around New Lothrop, where all the parties to the case reside, the greatest interest is being taken ia the trial.

It is up to a man to remember Samson's fate and be careful how he uses his jawbone. Things often go wrong because men think they know it all and refuse t o take women's advice. You may have noticed that the man who says he can take a drink or let It alone always takes it. It's difficult to find a man who is willing to hold the ladder of success while another ascends it. Every man is provided with sense enough to mind his own business, but few men have sense enough to let i t go at that. W J T - A N 0 W I S D O M .

Superstition Is gradually dying down, so that few would be kept back hy an old woman's saying.

I*y this act you periled that/life to aave that of a stranger." / "Well;" replied Cobb, wit)! a smile, "we've all got to take chances in this world." / A score of interrogations as to why he was alone followed; and Cobb,-in spite of his desire tp let the matter drop, found it impossible to avoid an explanation. / Septimus Cobb/ was a KentucWan by birth. From his earliest youth he had been of a roving, adventurous disposition. At the outbreak of the war he bad raised a company of cavalry, and step by step had 'won promotion until he was in command of a brigade. The close, of the war found him with the—possession- of-the-Utl&-ltG£neralJl a fund of splendid physical health, indomitable courage, restless energy-, and an unsatisfied ambition. He was poor. He wanted wealth, and he went to California. For years after he led the life-of thousands of restless adventurers In the rap'West. Editor, miner, speculatpi>*- everything by turns. Two fortunes made—and lost. He came East, got into/ oil, made a third fortune— and lost that. It was while "casting about for the easiest and Quickest means of making a fourth fortune that, hearing of the marvelous development of Russian oil -territory on* the ^shores of-the Black Sea, he determined to investigate Us possibilities. A syndicate was formed, and Cobb, as its representative, with unlimited credit, and plenary powers, was sent to prospect the new oleaginous territory. After some years spent in the neighborhood of Baku, the center of the Russian oil country, stories began to reach Cob* of. marvelousiy rich gold deposits H> Turkestan. ,Tp think, with himwas to act It was necessary to keep bis destination a secret, for, if flfft fafpa of-Tihe new El Dorado" were of congratulations began once more, and was only stopped by the sound of music. Everybody became silent and listened! The air was strange to most of those present. - , But when Cobb's face br^ghtensd^ and he exclaimed, "The Star Spangled /Banner"—for that was ^he air^revejybody, understood the .delicate copnprimeut conveyed when Paul Nazimoff had given a whispered order to a servant and the American air was played in honor of the American gueBt.

Then the assemblage began to gather into knots and groups—but everywhere Cobb and Alexis and the adventure formed the subject of conversation. A score of invitations to the greatest houses in Russia had already been showered on Greneral Cobb. He had accepted half a dozen—one in particular, that had been pressed with great earnestness. ~ That one came from the Baroness von Rhineberg. "You are so grand, brave," said the baroness. "You will in St. Petersburg long stay?" "Not very long, I am afraid," answered Cobb. "You see I am a bird of passage—always on the go." "Always on ze go," repeated the baroness,. __HHowis which ?"__ ' Cobb smiled. ""Hoow is which" struck him as a perfect gem. "•"Always on the go," he explained, true, the moment they became known in FJurope and America, it was as certain that thousands would flock to the scene as it was that the diamond mines of Africa, and the gold discoveries of Australia, attracted adventurers from all parts of the-world. Taking a small steamer, Cobb crossed the Caspian Sea, and guided by a rough map of the country, pushed into the TfitertoTr^rle -had—a--match—ef weeks, perhaps months, ahead of him, but he was undaunted. His escort supposed him an American missionary, and he took no pains to undeceive them. It is true that his missionary labors pro- "Always on ze go," repeatecfUhe baroness.

He had really no fear of death, nor was his life in much danger; but he was ^placed in confinement until hi* disposition could be determined u»on ,by his captors and the amount of his ransom agreed to. Alexis told the rest of the story. v.:__:_.. •-*• Cobb had explained much of his ca . - > • • "-means that I remain here a little time —then go somewhere else—then travel again—and so on." "It I now understand,* replied the baroness. There was the suggestion of a sigh as she spoke. It did not escape the notice of Cobb. "1 would to be always on ze go/like sometimes myself, but I must be always on ze stay—"I am alone," and the voice became softer as the baroness cast down her eyes. Cobb was about to reply when Lord Fitzroyal, who had been an interested spectator, sauntered up. The baroness was betraying altogether too much interest in the stalwart American to please his lordship, who had been wavering for some time on the verge of a proposal. "Well, baroness, our American friend seems to have covered himself with g>pry." Cobb detected a covert sneer in the remark. •- • '•<• "Zat is so! He is a brave man, and u big man. —Big men are brave, is it so not?" : The baroness , looked innocently enough at Lord Fitzroyal as she spoke, but her glance had first rested on the American. There could hardly have been a greater contrast.

"Mr. Cobb seems quite at home in Russia," he said. . Cobb measured him with his eye. "Yes," he drawled in reply. "Americans generally arev more at home in Russia than Englishmen are. We never tried to* kick them when they were down,." "Zat is good—zat is so—is it so not, Lord Fltsroyal?" exclaimed the baron ess. ., ~ ~ ~7 " Before Fitzroyal could reply a hush fell on the assembly. From beyond the masses of tropical plants which masked the apartment where the orchestra was concealed came the exquisite strains of a Russian air, played on the violin by a master hand. As the last notes died away the storm of applause broke out with spontaneous enthusiasm. "Bravo! encore!" came from ali points of the room. "Exquisite!" "What a master touch!" "What splendid technique!" "Superb!" were expressions heard on all sides. - * • Paul Nazimoff was delighted. "Father," said Alexis, "that is Indeed a treat. It is years/since I have heard anything that approached such a brilliant performance." He sighed. His father watched'blm narrowly. The wound then, had not entirely explanations were oaTered; the servant had not understood^- tfce player did not know; the man was insane; and so on. It neiver occurred_tftLjany that a raexo musician would send such a message to Count Nazimoff. The servant entered again/ i This time he was in terror. The man fairly shook.' "Come here!" said Count Nazimoff. There was a painful silenced in the great apartment. The *ma« approached. ,." • Again he whispered in a low voice and then stepped quickly back, as if fearful of a blow. v Paul Nazimoff looked up. ^His face was livid with rage.

Then Fitzroyal saw, still another chance. "The lower orders,...Mr.. Cobb, have some things that we don't possess by* birthright of nobility." -sBrT!—TO5 spite of himself the words. -. The group of servants near the entrance were trembling now. The guests, were aghast at the terrible outburst of their host. But Nazimoff was beyond control. "Hanajka!" he shouted to an upper servant, "follow Azof here! Stop!—Btlng your whip! Drag iheplayer here by force —by force, do you hear!" and with a terrible oath, which fortunately was lost in the confusion, Nazimoff, almost choking with rage, sank into his chair. The silence was only broken when a moment latej Count Nazimoff arose. "Your pardon, friends, your pardon." His Voics was hoarse. "But what think you of this last reply that yonder dog dared to send to meJby my servant; 'I am neither the servant "nor the serf of Count; NazimoffH—I shall not play God save the Czar!' By Heaven! we shall see! I shall make the dog play here before you until you bid him go, and then he shall be flogged before he is flung from my doors." "A hundred lashes at least," suggested the countess. - "With the double knout," added General Karsicheff. The other guests said nothing. They waited, with bated breath and painful interest, the ending of the srene. Men stood with compressed lips; ladies sat in nervous apprehension; Paul NazlmofL, walked, up and down; like an enraged lion-. * There was a sound outside—a scuffle.

To a woman there is always a little romance in a love affair. T h e man ot character may fall into • error by being too exacting. Men occasionally are misjudged J>y being too fond ot argument.

The trouble with the average man who poses as the architect of his own fortune is that he revises the plans too often. A D A P T E D APHORISMS. R E V I S E D M A X I M S .

There appeared for a moment a young girl, bearing a violin and bow —it was only for a moment—between the two servants, Azof and Hanajka. 1 With a quick gesture she threw aside the servants, and with flashing eyes and head erect she advanced to t h e center of the room. "Who is responsible for this outrage— this insult? Who is master here?" she demanded, in Quick, impassioned tones, while her face indicated the terrible excitement which possessed her. Paul Nazimoff advanced quickly. "Stop, girl! You forget yourself and who you arc. You were commanded here by me—Paul, Count Nazimoff—" "Who and what is Paul, Count Nasimoff, that he should command me?" w a s the- imperious answer. "Am I your servant, your serf, your child, or your debtor? I am a free-born Russian, no slave, and I shall not obey you!" . Count Nazimoff, by his oommand had thrown down the gage of battle, and nda Barosky—for it was the exile's daughter—had taken it up. Two strong natures were in conflict. On the one hand stood Paul Nazimoff, rich, powerful, noble, accustomed all his life to command and to be obeyed, and now humiliated, if beaten, in the presence of all his guests. On the other, the young girl, proud, haughty and unbending, her woman's pride stung to the quick by being thrustTfke a~^erT"tntcr-the midst &t the brilliant throng, and commanded to play, as a master commands a slave. It was not hard to see that hers was a nature that never would yield to force, not even if resistance meant the loss of life itself. How-was the battle to end? "I shall not obey you!" The words that ended the young girl's speech kept ringing in the ears of Paul Nazimoff. "I shall not obey you!" JNo such words had ever been addressed to him before. Could he believe the evidence of his own senses? Surely everybody in St. Petersburg knew that he, of all the great nobles In the capital, was the one whose autocratic ways were best known. AH his guests knew it—and yet here, an unknown girl, an humble musician, dared to stand before him, under his -own roof, and io fling in his face the bold defiance, "1 shall not obey you!" Paul Nazimoffs face, flushed bef o r e now turned to a ghastly white, and his eyes seemed to turn to coals of fire. He no longer shouted. He appeared calm, but it was the calmness of the tiger about to spring on tween us. His voice grew louder. "She has insulted me, 'ray guests, the czar—I swear she shall suffer. No power on earth can save her. Hanajka, Azof— seize^her! Seize her!" The servants obeyed. They would have strangled her there and then had they beeu so commanded. "Now, girl, for the last time," he raised the whip, "play? or I swear to degrade you by the lash. There .Is nothing can save you. Now what think you of defying Paul, Count Nazimoff?" The lash was uplifted. i t was a tace distorted by ias&ne rage and fury that, with eyes aflame with devilish resolve, looked into the face of Ilda Barosky. She never moved. There was no sign of fear, whatever she may have fett. She looked defiance. v "Take hold of her arms and compel the bow to cross the strings!" fairly screamed Nazimoff, as he again raised the whip. The servants obeyed. Pau! Nazimoff held the whip upiifted. "It is thVj last time," he yelled. "What will save you now?*' "This will!" The answer of Ilda Barosky, shrill and clear as a trumpet sounff, rang out, as with a quick motion she raised the violin far above her head, and. before any one could prevent, dashed the instrument into a thousand pieces at the feet of Nazimoff! He was baffled—beaten. There was a gasp as he made a motion with the "whip. Cobb and Alexis sprang' forward to avert the blow, but it was meedlemr Ths wh4p> fell from his unsuspecting victim. — — "And I swear"—the words came slowly, with a hissing sound, from between the lips—"and I swear you shall obey me. You forget who I am. i am Paul, Count Nazimoff." "And I swear I shall not obey you. 1 am Ilda Barosky, the daughter of an exile, and I shall not play 'God Save -the C z a r ! " No one spoke. The strain was fearfvti^v intense. Paul Nazinioff shook foNa moment as the. tree shaken when i! feels the .first blast of the hurricane! The storm his hands and he fell forward. The strain had been too much, and the next moment he was unconscious. With a quick motion Alexis sprang to the side of the girl. "Quick, come with me," he said in a low voice, as he grasped her by the arm. In all the confusion Cobb seemed to keep his mind. "Get.her away," he urged Alexis, and at the same moment he supported the stricken count to a low couch where several physicians among the guests attended him. A moment consultation and they decided that It was nothing serious. Paul Nazimoff was suffering from- the effects ~oi a shock and overtaxed nerves. It was all right. A few hours rest and lie would be quite *himself again. With a word of apology to the guests for the unhappy affair that had brought the festivities to such an unpleasant termination. Alexis bid good night to such as remained. Cobb he asked not to leave him. Alexis Nazimoff, immediately after the departure of the last of the guests, retired to his own room, accompanied by General Cobb. He was laboring under intense emotion, ana it was sumo minutes before, he became 3uffi- , for a campaign in Turkestan, and a short time after my arrival in Asia I received, a note from ray father.that a marriage nad been arranged between Olga Karsicheff and myself, the oereraooy to take .place on my return to St. Petersburg. Broken-hearted at the loss of Ilda, I made no objection, and you know the rest; I never saw Ilda Barosky from the time I left St. Petersburg until to-night. Now all my love has returned with tenfold strength, and I swear that no pother woman shall evprJw my wife!'1* . "But ypiir father, after to-night—^-M "He does not know that u was Ilda —he never saw her. Carried away by his rase at her refusal, he knew nor cared not who it was that dared to thwart" a will that all> through life had never been gainsaid. To-night," and Alexis arose, "to-night has decided my fate. I am going to find Ilda Barosky—I am going to make her my wife! I am going to ask y o u - — " A knock at the door interrupted him. ''Come in!" A servant entered, and bowing respectively said a word or two, and in Married Life In Abytftnifc. l a Abyssinia, a husband- who can afford the expense it continually adding to his household of wives. ^As soon as his favorite begins to pall on him he deposes her for another. The new wife rules the house, dictates orders to the other wives, who, strange as it may seem, obey her without open remonstrance. If any of the former favorites ever cared for their lord they soon cease to be jealous of hia affections. They know, too, that the time will surely come when they will be turned out Into the streets to loolt for another matter. TOLD ciently composed to trust himself to speak. When he became somewhat calmer, he turned to the American, and putting out his hand as if to ask for friendship and sympathy, said, in a voice that still indicated the intensity of his feelings: "Cobb, my late was decided to-night!" Cobb was about to answer, when, with a movement, Alexis stopped mm, and in an impassioned strain broke out: "You do not know—you do not know that she who stood, before my father, to-night—she whom he would have degraded by the lash—is ma woman 1 love—the only woman who will ever bo my wife." To say that Cobb was astounded mildly expresses it. Ho, sat amazed and expectant, not knowing wha^to say. Alexis went on: "Three years ago I first met v her, when sho was a pupil at the Conserwas now beyond control. He forgot . himself, his guests, his position, manhood, nobility—all—everything. With an oath he snali'lii'd. llio whip liuni the hands of Hanajka and raising it advanced a st£p toward the girl. —"Failmr!" —V- "Count Nazimoff!" x T h e two expressions racg out as one —the first by Alexis, the other by £obb. Alexis was first—he seized the uplifted hand. "Father, you must not!" "Must cot!, must not!^' "shouted TJazimoff. He fairly thundered now. Rage bad dethroned Reason. ."Stand hack!" he shouted. ''Stand back, for I swear this girl iihall play or she LhaU suffeer. Let no one come bevatory. She had appeared before a brilliant assemblage, and won the admiration of all by her wondrous beauty and her genius. I sought and obtained an introduction to her through the Baroness"von Rhineberg. I loved her madly, passionately, devotedly—I loved her then as 1 love her now. I offered her my name. I asked her to become my wife." Cobb started. He had anticipated a different avowal, and in his mind had framed a reply to Alexis. But he was not prepared for his. "Ilda refused," continued Alexis, 'unless I could gain my father's consent. My marriage with her, she urged, would be a blow to my fondest hopes of military distinction; would ostracise me in St. Petersburg, and would alienate the affections of my fatUei.—All this wao true, but I cared nothing for it.

Then followed a few words of dialogue in a language Cobb could not understand, and the soldier withdrew. When they were once more alone Alexis turned to Cobb. "I am going to trust you fully and freely." he said. "My servant has just returned, having followed Ilda to her destination. I know where she is and I am going there to-night. " If my father should awake. I ask you, in the name of our friendship, to make such explanation of my absence as will cause him no uneasiness until my return. You will do this for me, will you not?" said the young soldier, holding out his hand. Cobb could say no more. He graspinl— the proffered hand of Alexis and- Show Surgical Operations.

A long table, upon which was scattered a miscellaneous collection of implements, a couple of rude benches, a cha4r or two. and some rough boxes, -iiLilixed as seats, constituted most of the furnishings. The half-dozen /steps, leading up to a heavily barred door, indicated that the room was a cellar, and the two small windows? both with heavy shutters of solid wood, which were only a few inches higher'than.the bottom of the door, were of apparently little practical use, either for light or ventilation. .. ' ' Within this underground 'apartment, for such it really was, were gathered, on the same evening as that on which the events described in the last chapter occurred, some twelve or fifteen men and three women. Their faces, darkened even beyond their natural color by the smoke and grime, were marked by suppressed excitement, while their conversation, animated in the extreme, was carried on in that suppressed way suggestive ot extreme caution and ceaseless appre> hension. Not that all were talking. There were workers there, men who toiled and delved and whose grimy hande,-hard11 and knotted, gave evidence that theirs had been no child's play. A long coil of wire, some electrical instruments, and some curiously suggestive metal globes, were som> of the objects on the table of which, mention has already been made. ^ The conversation, after an interval of silence, had begun again.

Organs are taken out and scraped and polished and put back, or tvey may be removed entirely; bones are] spliced; pipes take the place of diseased sections of yeins; antiseptic dressings are applied to wounds, bruises, burns and like injuries before irflamationsets in, which causes them to heal without maturation and in one third the time required by the old treatment. Chamberlain's Pain Balm acts on this same principle. It is an antiseptic and when applied to such injuries, causes tbem to heal very quickly. It also allays the pain and soreness.

GOT AS GOOD A3 HE GAVE. How PhilantliropiHt Corcoran Waa A n s w e r e d b y a "Woman. The late W. W. Corcoran, the million-' aire philanthropiat of Washington, who gave to t h e city the magnificent a r t gallery which bears h l ^ n a m e , w a s very fond of telling bow h e w a s once overmatched by a wealthy maiden lady from whom he desired t o purchase a piece of property.... Mr. Corcoran wau the owner of the Arlington hotel, a t the corner of Vermont avenue a n d II street. Adjoining the hotel property on t h e H street side was a handsome browustone mansion, owned by t h e maiden lady. The hd upon which t h e house w a s built extended buck to I street, a distance of four hundred feet, and abutted on t h e rear of t h e hotel -property. Mr. Corcoran found it necessary to enlarge t h e hotel property and with this cud.in view desired to purchftse the rear end of the lot owned by t h e maiden lady. As s h e w a s very wealthy, he knew that a large price would not be any special inducement and for a time was at a loss to know exactly bow to approach her. He finally concluded to so straight to^hejjpjrit^ and therefore addressed her t h e fob ' lowing note: D e a r Miss C—How m u c h will you take for your back y a r d ? "We wish to enlarge t h e Arlington hotel. Y o u r s sincerely, W. W. CORCORAN. P r o m p t l y c a m e t h e r e p l y : Dear Mr. Corcoran—How m u c h will you t a k e fur the Arlin^'ten la.'i'l'.'

Bachelder, lecturer of national grange, says in an article In t h e New York Tribune Partner 'of recent date t h a t of all t h e men, women and children in the Granite State one in every fifteen is a granger. It is believed that this record cannot be duplicated by any other secret society in any state in t h e Union or in any other country in t h e world. I t is also believed, by Patrons at any rate, that the grange is as important a n d beneficial in its influence in the Granite State a s the size of the organization would indicate; t h a t t h e quality of i t s membership is on a p a r with its quantity. Its growth-in New Hampshire is of Just thirty years, Gilraen-grange, No. 1, having been organized vdt& eigtHfeen charter members on Aug" l57"i8?37 at" Exeter, while the state grange w a s organized a t Manchester. Dec. 23, 1S73, with fifteen subordinate granges represented. For a few years following its organization the grange in New Hampshire, as elsewhere, laid so much stress upon the principle, of business co-operation as to make it perhaps the chief inducement in attracting members. After a time this policy m e t with reverses, and the growth of the Order w a s briefly a t a standstill. Then a new start w a s taken upon social, educational a n d moral lines, and for more than t w o decades now t h e grange ship h a s fared prosperously forward on this course. Equal §*>od-4or4un« is likely_tQ„xitt£niL. It SO l o n g aw i t c o n t i n u e s t o r e f u s e a l l ' B&slneaB Cards, SCoii per year." T h e F i r s t U s e o f N a p k i n s . A French writer who evidently w a s conservative and did not welcome the napkin kindly records with scorn: "The napkin is placed under t h e chin a n d fastened in t h e back, a s if one were going to be shaved. A person told m e that he wore his that way that he might not soil his beautiful frill 8." It w a s a difficult matter to tie the; two corners in t h e back, and it is said ; that thence originated our expression i for straitened circumstances, "hard to [.roatoeboth^endis meet." This custom led to t h e habit of t h e table waiters of carrying a napkin on t h e left arm. .

M F T K D T H E LID. W h y (he P e r * M a r q a e t t e AsacMment U Too H l * b . In the hearing of testimony in the railroad tax cases a curious admission has been made by a high official of the Pere Marquette railroad. According to Assistant General Manager James H. Simpson, who testified the annual reports were stuffed in order to Jolly the stockholders and make thorn feel pood. Fictitious earnings of. more than a million dollars were reported. Then the tux board came along and woaked the railroad on Its padded returns. This compelled the management t i either pay taxes on the excess or own up. Mr. Simpson was finally authorized to remove the lid. and the matter bocamc public property. Mr. Simpson stated that items amounting to an average of a millio;! dollars a year had been shifted from .<qmrjiHn-T t«vpnns» a c c o u n t in the .wars 1900. UHJl and 1U02. The object was to show a more prosperous condition of affairs finm e x i t e d . In his direct testimony on behalf of the railroad, which is trying to reduce the int.uigihlc valuation given it, he produced the reports" made by the directors to the stockholders in those three years. Going over the reports item by item, he specified those which were not correct. In tho i!X><> report he picked out items aggregating over £U40.(KH>. which he said should have been added to operating expenses. Had this been done, irstead of a dividend and surplus there Mould not have been enough net earnings 'to have paid interest on bonds. ~T4ni^tttamcjg&Jjtu: that even if they accept Simpson's testimony as correct, it will not greatly decrease the value of the property.

A number of men have stated that they were willing to live up their unlong cards as there was uo longer any union, but they were not willing to take out a permit to work from tJbe Mine Owners' association, but preferred ,, to leave town. The committee state* that It ,has extremely damaging evidence against a number of persons, connecting them with the Independence dynamite out- , rage and it is likely some very important evidence will be introduced when the trial cornea up. A member of the court of inquiry says: "We have evle that will hang five and possibly lc that number, and enough to nil fenitentlury.

Bell says: "I have indisputable evidence which will lead to the conviction of a number of union men for the murder of the non-union miners who were killed in the Independence depot explosion. We have between thirtyfive and forty men in the bull pen who u'ill swing for this crime. We are only waiting to capture two or three more men before we tell what our evidence Is."

"I warn jou that your act, even if you accomplish your purpose, will do more injury to the cause of Russian liberty than any decree of the autocrat, however severe, could accomplish. Educate the people " "Bah! I have no patience with theories and theorists. This is no revolutionary kindergarten. We are men and women imperiling our lives in this movement, and I tell you that success' can only be won by blood* by*bloo*r' A murmur—"Ay, that's the talk! Blood! blood! blood!" showed that the sentiments of the majority were in favor of the one who had last spoken. "There is no precedent in history to prove that a people's wrongs were righted by assassination," began the first speaker. "You know, Oraminsky, that history—" "History be damned—and precedents, too. We are here to make history— to establish a precedent if need be. No! no! Let the timid withdraw if they will. I, for one, will carry through our plan. What! Act as weaklings after all these years-of waiting, after all these months of preparation, after all these weeks of work in silence and in secret to overthrow the tyrant! Never! by the God of the people of Holy Russia; never, never^—never!" Loris Oraminsky, the man who had last spoken, turned to those around him as he uttered the last words of his impassioned speech. He looked every inch a man who would dare—Tft man whom nothing could turn aside from a purpose once fully determined 4ipon. The strongly marked iace^JUth its- heavy, square jaw; the _,deeply black eyes, sunken/beneath shaggy eyebrows, and, the, massive head with its wealth of co&l black hair, which was almost as luxuriant as a woman's— theses with a giant's frame and the strength ot a Hercules, would have made Oraminsky a man of mark ia any assemblage. / O f all the members of the modera t e s , none had opposed the extreme views and aims of Oraminsky and his following with greater zeal and earnestness than Ivan Barosky. The son of an exile—an exile as he believed cruelly and unjustly punished—Ivan was as intense in his enmity to the existing powers in Russia as was Oraminsky himself. But he was too able and farseeing; too progressive and cautious to commit himself to what be truly believed to be a course of action that would alienate from the Russian revolutionists the support and sympathy-of the friends of liberty in every country in Europe. Oramiiisky's impassioned reply, and the favor with which ft had been received, convinced Ivan that further 'discussion would befutite. "You have heard our views." he said, "and it is now for me to declare •our purpose." There was a pause. All looked_at him with every appearance of intense interest. "After this night," began Ivan, "we will never—" He stopper!—siTrHHpnly. His oar caught on the outside the sound of a hurried footstep, and raising his Hand for caution, and silence he listened intently. The footsteps grew nearer. Oraminsky lifted his hand, and as The footstep* stopped—Atre was a knock at the door. ;':: A peculiar knock it was—a load tap, two • short quick taps, and then a pause and a final knock. Evidently a signal for the expression pf intense anxiety changed instantly tu one of relief; the people resumed their seats, and Ivan, with a commanding gesture, which Oraminj& y-*ims«1f submitted to, exclaimed, "A friend! Open the door, Aronsky." Running up the steps that led to the door of the underground apart* raent, Aronsky, removing a long oaken bar that fastened it, threw open the door. "Ilda Barosky!" The words were uttered with a spontaneous impulse by all present as Ilda Barosky, for it was she who had given the frieritily signal, stood for a second at the door, until, her eyes having lighted upon Ivan, ahe swiftly descended the steps and came into the midst of the expectant group. Her face was flushed with excitement, her fine hair disheveled, and her whole appearance indicated 'that she was laboring under some intense mental,strain. Ivan sprang to her side. "Ilda, my sister, what has happen ed?" Ilda gazed wildly for a moment, and then, her voice quivering with emotion, she spoke in quick, disjointed sentences: "Oh, infamy! Oh, cruel— coward—the lash—Alexis—I will be avenged—terribly avenged—do you hear? The cruel Nazimoff; oh, it was cowarTlly—"• and, overcome by the reeellefctton of the terrible "ordeal through which she has passed, the girl sank Into a chair, burying her face in her Wands, and shaking like an aspen leaf from the violence of the conflicting emotions. After having recovered in some degree. Ilda told the story of the night. The sudden illness of Anna Dorski had deprived-il*c famous orchestra of its great tololst, and at the last moment Anna appealed to Ilda to take her place. In vain Ilda urged that she had a reason for not going to the Nazimoff mansion, and it was only when the famous leader himself begged her, with his daughter, not to place him in a false position before the assembled aristocracy of the capital, that she gave a reluctant consent. When Ilda reached the part of her story where she was brought by violence into the room* her audience manifested intense interest, and she proceeded amid deepest silence. But when she told of Nazimoff raising the whip, the indignation of all present could no longer be restrained. "Coward!" "Wretch!" and "Woman beater!" were some of the maledictions hurled at Nazimoff, and threats, deep and earnest, of dire vengeance for the deed, were uttered on all sides. But it was when she spoke of her refusal to play "God Save the Czar," and of her sending the violin crashing into a thousand pieces at the foot of Nazimoff, that the excitement broke "Brin* the bag, Horsy,1* said Ora* minsky. In response, one of the wefmeh produced a small bag made of chamois in which Oraminsky, after rapidly counting the number of persons present, placed a handful of> roubles— exactly as many roubles as there were those in the apartment. ; "And now for the Red Beautys" From around her neck, fastened by a string, Hersy produced a small leathern case, which she opened. The movement was watched with intense interest, and as Hersy drew from the case a coin and handed it to Oraminsky, all present gazed at the piece of money with some such expression as a Hindoo might regard an image of his favorite god. The piece of money was a silver rouble. It was a deep red. "Le Rouble Rouge," sometimes called "The Red Beauty," was celebrated throughout Europe. It had been LlVt STOCK found by the side of the Czar Alexander II., when he sank in blood after the bomb had done its fatal work, and the red upon the coin was the life-blood of the autocrat of all the Russians when he fell a victim to the Nihilists' vengeance. "Now," said Oraminsky, "as he softly jingled the bag which contained the roubles, "there are as many pieces here as we have brothers present. Plump! In goes the Red Beauty, and he who draws her wins the prize— he it shall be who must take revenge on the cowardly brute Nazimoff!" As he dropped the red rouble in with the rest, Oraminsky shook the bag and' one by one the men approached and drew. Ivan took his chance with the rest. "Keep your hands closed until I The Hw's Walking a s it . Howl fast the herae walks regulates to some extent his value. The slow walking horse is a tiresome animal to labor with if one has an ambition to do a good day's work. On the farm the rate at whloh a horse can walk U seldom considered at breeding time, yet we must expect that alow walking horses wilt.. produce alow walking horses, and that fast walking horses will produce fast walking horses. This is-, a principle, that it will pay to keep sight of when the mares and stallions are being mated. Some of our best farmers claim that it is largely a matters of training, rand that the slow horses can be trained to Increase their speed of walking This may be so, but it is more likely that the habit of slow or fast walking is a matter of inheritance. However, it will be a.good thing for the men that teach horses to work to take the haSit of slow walking in hand if the colt has formed it and try to break it by teaching the animal to walk fast. One horseman says that if a colt is allowed to walk slowly when he is being trained to work he will hold to the habit all the rest o l ' h i s life. A • colt that is naturally slow may be taught to walk/f£st, so this man says, and once the habit* is formed it will remain with him when he is actually engaged in work, though he may drop" back to his old habit when he Is out of harness. Slowness of walking is 'a great defect In the otherwise valuable horse. If there is another horse with him that horse also must walk slowly to adapt himsel£ 4o-the fkst horse*-tfhile the man that drives them must also lose his time. In the course of a year this amounts to a very large item, and when it is figured in dollars and cents is not a factor to be despised. It is desirable to have on the farm only fast walking horses, and such animals make all farm work easier where horses are employed. When we consider that some horses walk fifty per cent faster than do others, we can readily understand that the additional work done by a fast walking team of horses over a slow walking team might easily be the difference between profit and loss on the operations with which they were connected on the farm. It is suggested that when the colt is being broken to work he have a ration rich in protein, like oats, so that he may have sufficient stamina and latent force to make it ^ . ^ / r * •• Summer-Made Manurtv .n ft used to be* the custom to allow the manure pile to increase in size for half a year before using'it on the fields. It was supposed that what it lost In volume it made up in quality and that the little well-rotted manure was worth more than the greater volume would hare been If applied fre.su. Not only was the winter manure kept till spring, but the manure that was made nightly in the barnyard was carefully piled each morning and a new pile allowed to grow till fall, and. sometimes- this ptte was incorporated with the new ptte that began to' be made when the cows were taken out of the pastures and Btabled for winter, But ye have learned better now. We Jcnow that sun and air are constantly warring against the accumulated fertility and that the sooner It is brought under cover of the ^oii the better. The loss is especially large with the manure that jtccumujates in the barnyard in the summer,, for the reason that the temperature is so high that all chemical changes are hastened1 and the moisture escaping helps to carry off the fertility, especially such as can change into gases. So the summermade manure should be carted to the fields a& soon as possible, at least once a week, unless there is a covered "place that will protect it from both rain and very touch air. In the barnyard if manure is to be kept in summer for any length .of time it would, pay to have a receptable built up wit planks on each side and which may? be increased in height WThe nlanuTi increases. In this way the air can get at it only on the top, and the fertility in the lower portion will be preserved. Certainly this Is a better arrangement than having an open pile with all sides exposed to the currents of air. The fertility locked up" in this manure is worth money, and it should be husbanded as carefully as money would be. - \ . in his work. —* fie did so a singular transformation took place. All in the room who were seated, or who were working with the implements before described, arose and silently as so many specters stepped •Boftlv hack toward the sides of thp an Bounds. "Death totthe Nazimoff!" was one remark, and the refrain was taken up by all present. "Let me avenge our sister's wrong," spoke up one young and powerful man who came into the group. "Give me the right and I shall find a way to his heart with this—" and he drove his dagger Into the table and left it quivering in the wood. "Not so!

"Well spoken," exclaimed Oraminsky, He saw that the feeling produced upon Ivan by the story of his sister was intense,' and he determined to make the most of it to win Ivan as a supporter of his own. "But it must not bo. This wrong has been done to the sister of a brother of our order— none the less a brother because he differs with us on some minor points. The vengeance for Ilda's wrongs belongs to us all, but we must be guided by our rules." "Ay, by our rules," was the response. They knew the rules. It was not the first time that the rules had been invoked for private revenge. Ivan had taken Ilda a little apart from the rest, and was doing what he could to restore her to calmness. He seemed anxious to gain every-particular, even to the smallest and-appareht give the signal—then hold them aloft and show your coin," directed Ora- | easy for him to adopt a vigorous gait minsky as he tossed the empty bag - to Hersy, the last coin having been drawn. "Now, then, one, two, three, show!" and all the hands went up. "Ivan draws the prize!" was the exclamation as it was seen that Ivan displayed the Red Beauty. "Glad I am that it is so!" exclaimed Ivan. "I will wipe out Nazimoff's insult in a way that will show to all the world how a Russian can avenge a sister's injury. And now, friends," he went on, as he made a motion to Ilda to prepare* to accompany him, "what is \nnr last answer—the final room. Bach carried something—a battery, a bit of wire a shell, a conic a l vessel haiulled with great care and whose proximity was evidently not desired by any but the man whose duty it was to hold it In charge. "• There they stood, lined by the walls, like so many automatons, silent, motionless. All this had taken less time- than :Jt W e s to write ft. Iy most unimportant detail of what had occurred. But particularly was he concerned about Alexis Nazimdff. "What did he look like? How dirt h* act? What did he say?" with these and a score of other questions Ivan •plteiTlris-sister, getting uf uuurse llttle or no information beyond what Ilda had told him at the beginning. In tire meantime, under the direction of Oraminsky, the assemblage began putting in operation the^rule of the order" to, decide upon whom should fall the task of avenging Ilda's wrong by Count Nazimoff. reply to the leaders .of our section? Will you defer action longer, or will you take issue with us and act alone?" Oraminsky advanced. "Say to—" he spoke no further. Half a dozen hands went up at once with the signal for silence. Footsteps were again heard at a distance in the frosty night. With a movement Ivan and Oraminsky both raised their hands. The people in two rows ranged themselves along the walls. The footsteps grew nearer, louder, approached the door and stopped. Then came a strong single knock— but He^aint knocks followed. Evidently, whoever came to the- door did not possess the signal. . Now it was that Ivan Barosky showed his powers—dominating even the strong will of Oraminsky himself. With a whispered word to Ilda, he pointed back to a dark corner behind the *stair3 in which was a scarcely visible door. "The secret passage to the banks of the Neva," he whispered "use it if necessary." Ilda disappeared. - Then, turning to Oraminsky, Ivan said in an undertone: "I am best to deal with this—is it so?" Oraminsky nodded quickly. Then pressing Ivan's hanlr, with the word "PaiiHonr" h« tnnk hla place hv the wall and stood as impassive and as silent as the others. Ivan alone now occupied the center of tho room. *. About Baby Beef. In making baby beef it is necessary that the calves to be used for that iMrpose contain a good deal of improved blood. It is not easy to make a profitable bunch of baby beeves from every kind of calves. The higher the grade of calf used the better will be the results both- in feeding and in marketing. This is *-pointthat- is neglected by thousands of men that try to make money shipping cattle to market. After all that has been said, it is surprising that men wiifstiii try to make high-priced baby beef out of the poorest stock they can obtain. Good breeding is the best foundation for good feeding. After the question of breeding is settled comes the question of time of age of the calves. It is evident that the man that is trying to prepare a bunch of such animals for market will need to have his animals of about the same age at time of marketing. If their ages vary greatly he will find it difficult to feed them with an economy of time and labor, and when he comes to market them they are likely to be so uneven that the price will be considerably reduced. What is more likely in such a case is that the animals will, part of them, stay at home and part go to market. This will mean that the marketed ones will cost more for transportation than they should and that the others will have to be marketed later at considerable advance in cost for shipping. Where they are of nearly the same age they will grow up to to the marketable age having a nearly uniform appearance. x Cabbages for Sheep. There l&ay be objections to feeding cabbages to milch cows on account of tainting the milk, but there i r no such objections with feeding them to sheep. Cabbages can be easily grown, especially where the soil is a heavy but rich clay. In the discussion ot thi subject we have heard sheep men say that they could get more money out of their cabbages feeding them to sheep than In any other way. Of course that was in localities where markets were not easy to reach. . Where the farmer lives near a railroad and can send his cabbages to Chicago and other big markets at little cost, that way of disposing of them will be more profitable than in feed* ing them' to the sheep. But it must be remembered that where the sheep interests are largest there are few rallrqads. A large tonnage of cabbages can be grown per acre, and many of our shepherds are finding this a profitable use to make of the ground, The cabbage—has this Light in the Horse Stab.les. The most modern stables are arranged with the idea of giving the horse an abundance of light. In many of these the heads of the horses are toward the outer walla and there la a advantage over most of our other green feeds that It can be kept for months and even into the dead of winter if it is properly stored. This is quite an advantage over even rape. The Canadian farmers are taking advantage of this to lay in annually good supplies of cabbages to feed to their sheep during winter, thus keeping their sheep In perfect condition as to their digestive organs. Cabbages can be grown in almost all parts of the country, and they grow best in the cooler sections, where they are most needed for winter food. Their value cannot be figured out from the tables the chemists give us, for their succulence**~ls a valuable thing in itself, but this has no Value in the analysis of the chemist. Again the knock—louder this timt\ —two or three times louder.

These* should be made as early in the season as possible. Keep the calf growing both summef and winter. American Milk in Paris. It is well worthy of note that at a special show of perishable dairy products held as an annex to the Paris Exposition in July, 1900, just outside the city limits, where French produ-*1 cers had every opportunity of exnibitlng their goods in the best possible shape (although under - unfavorable local conditions after reaching the exhibit) there was a large collection- of natural milk and creamv says Henry E. Alvord. But the only samples of these products absolutely free from chemical preservatlvttg anr~ nn^AQked. which were sweet and palatable after noon of the exhibition day, were from dairies in New York arid New Jersey, then eighteen—da?s—from thoi-apwl There was also in the United States dairy exhibit natural milk and cream from a farm in central Illinois, imsov ties exactly as sent daily to Chicago families, which was only very slightly acid, although twenty day* old. It had kept sweet until the day before this show, and even later It was' better than the best normal French milk onlv,twelve to twenty-four hours aftermilking. / v^i '-<>* 4*4* ',•> / *tm^m*mm*Mk itfi &&%: -TtVsH PS. . , ^ - <lr EMof Great War . cjMloHtii.^seuWb of b s t t t r tfcetn by <t, In Alameda, San Franelseo table jardenl some oy'Gre C h i n a m e n i . , ^ « !>/-£*•- Ten years ago t h ^ .gardener* were almost all Chinamen, and they acquired the belief that a monopoly of the business was their. right. About seventy of them-had form** a colony just outajde Alameda, and ^aid out a garden of about twenty acre*. One day some Japa%**e showed -m> and leased an adjoining strife of land. They put.up soma shacks, and then, to the great indignation of the. Chinamen, they began plowing up their land for garden truck. Of course, there could be no friendly relations between them, but for a year their enmity found expression in nothing .worse" than scowls ^jjind occasional boundary disputes. ' ^ Then came the Chine-Japanese war. Reeling ran high among the San rranciscjo, Chinamen,, because their local papers printed some fiery edl* torials against the Japs. This spirit of Jingoism was communicated to^the Alameda Chinamen,' and the relations between them and ' their Japanese neighbors became' intensely strained. The Japs., placed outposts along the boundary fences, fearing that' the Chinese would raid their truck pitenesc and . tramjjle ,ajl .oyer them. The Chinamen jfcpok j»lntftar precautions. This? was the'situation for months, w t M l t last ithettewa cause of * serious Chinese defeat. The Chinamen were deeply stirred, and one morning they lined up along the fence, seventy strong, and told the Japanese, in a mixture of Cantonese and English, profanity, Just how infinitesimal they considered them. T h e JAPS sounded a call to a r a s « n d told the Chinamen that they were Unclean monkeys, and that if they didn't keep to leeward of them, they would give them an illustration of how Wei-hai-wel had ben captured. A Chinaman picked up a turnip, which presently landed on- a Jap's head. Two hours later the sheriff of Alameda county was called out to restore peace. Both the Japanese and Chinese settlements had been demolished, the gardens torn up, and every Jap and Chinaman bore physical evidence of the fierceness of the fight. Next day the head man of each colony paid a fine, the colonists returned to their ranches, rebuilt their huts, and ever after lived on the best of terms with each other. They had let off the surplus steam of the!r\ patriotism. How Seth Bullock, superintendent . i f the Black Hills forest reserve, pergonal friend of the President and not uently a -guests a t - t h e -White House, and a noted western character, managed t o secure a fancy drink in the early days of Helena, is told by a former resident of that,city, now of this. It serves to show that the age of "promotion" is not as young as is pictured by later date savants. It was in the early '70's, when Helena was one of the banner placer mining camps,of the west and gold was being washed by hundreds of men from the sands of Last Chance gulch (now Main street). Bullock wanted a fancy drink and did not care to remunerate the bartender wLa a fancy price in lieu, so he evolved a plan which worked to perfection. Entering the saloon, Bullock said: ~G , I'll tell you what lefs^do, If yon will furnish the sherry, 111 furnish the fresh eggs, and w e will mix up a drink that is out of sight." As eggs were worth | 2 a dozen, t£e liquor man decided that it was a good bargain, although wine was also sold At alatifLfigure irL those days. . T h e n Bullock went into a grocery near by, and said to the proprietor: "W——, if you will furnish the eggs I'll furnish the sherry and «fe will have something worth while in the line of fancy drinks." The grocer agreed to furnish the eggs, and a few minutes later both entered the liquor house. The concoction was duly prepared and the three began to -absorb i t As Seth swallowed his share, an Idea struck the bartender! "Say," demanded he, turning upon Seth, 4<where do yon come in on this game, anyway? W—•— has furnished the e g g s an3 I have supplied the liquor. How do you get in?" "Oh, r m the promoter," replied Bullock with a smile.

Eating-of-arsenic Is-cnmrnrm rn fltyria. The Styrlans say that arsenic makes one p!ump and comely and gives one strength for great exertions, such as running or mountain climbing. Styria, in Austria, gives the world vast quantities of arsenic;-the manufacture of this drug is indeed the main Styrtan industry. They who maTve arbouic eat it, a3 a rulo, for they say that only the arsenic eater can withstand the arsenic fumes. These makers and eaters ex the drug are comely. They have a blooming and clear color. They look much younger than -they are. "The foreman in a certain arsenic factory told me that in his boyhood, when he first came to that plant, he was advised to hegm t o eat arsenic lest his health suffer from the fumes," says a toxicologist. "He did begin, _«nd. his first two -or three small doses gave him a sharp palnr like a burn, in the stomach, and this pain was followed by tremendous hunger and a violent, disagreeable excitement. But as his doses Increased in frequency and size their effect became pleasant. There was no longer pain or excitement; on the contrary, there was a ravenous appetite and a mood of joyous activity wherein the youth could do three uiuu's work. : — "This chap, by the time he got to be 30, was taking four grains .of., arsenic a day. He looked at 30, with his clear pink and white color, no more than 23. He was as robust as a blacksmith. But he said he would .die at 45 or so, that being the age at which all the Styrian arsenic eaters die." The drug is a preservative, and in Styria, when graves are opened bodies are found to be as fresh six or seven years after interment a s on the day they were lowered into the earth. Cost of Good Roads Tho cost of road btrildlug varies in the different places according to the tppography of the country and the proximity of the stone used, says Frankiin Matthews, in June Outing. A satisfactory highway can be built eighteen feet wide, exclusively of slone. usually for $3,000 to 43,500 a mile. These are known as macadam roads. A more costly stone road running from 14,000 to $6,000 a mile is the Telford road. Both are 'named after Scotchmen, who first devised the systems* The macadam road consists of a deep foundation of large stones, laid- as smoothly together a s possible, the foundation stones being of a near* ly uniform *i«i A I w w . n f . t m t l l i gether. Then layers of crushed stone, each layer being, qf a liner quality than its predecessor, are rolled into and over the foundations. The final layer is of very fine crushed stone. The whole settles Itself into a compact mass, almost as smooth as a flagstone, from which water runs off as soon as it falls- The Telford road isi more expensive because Its founds-1 tion is laid with more care. The foundation stones are of a uniform size and are laid with the ends uppermost^ like so many bricks set upon edge. These are bound together by smaller HOLY LAND tiOTjUfUaK.

When one thinks of the great events that have taken Pteee in the Holy Land, the multitude of cities, villages snd towns, the countless millions who have been born there and whose bones now l i e in its rock-ribbed bills* the.small dimensions of Palestine are almost startling- West of the Jordan, where^most of the historic events took place, there are only 3,- 80Q square miles, including all the geographical divisions now called Palestine; including the land both east and west of the Jordan, the total area is 9,8X40 square miles. The length of Palestine from north to south is about 150 miles. It varies in breadth from twenty-three to eighty miles. <- Executions in Japan. Capital punishment is in vogue in Japan, but no one—not even the executioner— witnesses the actual dispatch of the condemned man, who ie placed in a kind of box and left to himself as coon as the noose is ad justed. The floor of the box falls when the signal is given, and the murderer drops' into eternity unseen. ""Strong Language. Fredericksburg, Ind., June 20.—Rev. Enoch P.

Are these people who marry for money really happy? Do they get the real good out of life? What sort of children do they give to the world? I have three sons. I hope they will marry poor girls, if these are the ones* they love, rather than the richest women in the world. They can be poor a l t their lives, and yet be happy.

STOP THAT COUGH BLOWING HOT AND COLD. • t o w Iron s a d S t e e l I n Lomimpg B e s t Hi*e Im T e m p e n t i r * . The phenomenon of a substance rising In temperature while losing heat, known as "recalescence," which was first observed by Professor Barrett and Investigated by Dr. Hopktnson, has been noticed In the case of Iron at a high temperature. A piece pt iron was heated to about S00 degrees G. and then allowed to cool slowly. At this temperature it Is bright red, but on cooling to about 785 degrees € . a sudden disengagement of heat takes place, the iron rises In temperature and glows with a brighter red. This phenomenon was investigated more accurately by Hopklnson In the case of steel. ' Round a bar of'this metal he wound a coil of copper wire Insulated with asbestus and jacketed with layers of asbestus paper. The temperature of the wire was followed during the experiment by connecting the coil to a Wheatstone's bridge to find the variation in Its resistance and from this the variation in temperature. The steel bar was then heated bright red in a furnace and allowed to cool. !The temperature fell regularly to 680 degrees C, then rose to 712 degrees C, when it again diminished. THE GRANGE a o p J.

Thus it will be seen that the election of officers alone costs over $1,000. The secret ballot Is a fundamental principle, but secrecy in voting may be accomplished In different ways. The method in vogue in New York state whereby the entire delegations are required to pass before the ballot box for each of the thirteen officers to be elected, and as often again as no ejection may result, is altogether too clumsy and expensive, both as to time and money, and what is true of the state grange is also true of the Pomona and subordinate granges where these methods are followed. We believe the Pennsylvania system Is a marked Improvement over this one. In that state thirteen ballot boxes are provided, one for each of the offices. Each delegate Is provided with a ballot on which is printed the names of the thirteen offices to be filled, and opposite each pne he writes the name of the candidate for whom he desires to vote.

Llko a city of the dead was the Ger- S settlement In the vicinity of St. Lutheran churchy in East Sixth 'ew York, where they were Saturday more than 100 victims of the Slbcum horror. Not a block was without its funeral. There were rows or" dwellings with a hearse at <m»ry door. In some houses a burial service was being read on every floor, and the hearses stood two and three abreast at the curb.. Unceasing search for over three days and nights has resulted in the recovery of 5S1 bodies of victims of the disaster. Of these, 541 have been Identified.. Hopes are expressed that comparatively few bodies remain* to» be recovered, Sunny C>ba. The recent hurricane in the province of Santiago de Cuba has resulted in the death of more than 100 persons. The most severe loss was at the village of EI Cobre, where about sixty persons were drowned. The river rose instantly, destroying the lower part of the village. Bodies were carried eight miles to the bay. Thirty bodies were recovered. Six persons were drowned at Dal- --Hiuri, fourteen at El Gaiiey and many In "fire-surrounding country.

Details In connection with the sink- In? of the Japanese transport Hitachi by Russian warships, are being furnished by survivors. The Russian ships were sighted at 7 o'clock In the morning and in response to a signal the Hitucbi was stopped', but at 10 o'clock got under way again and attempted to escape. The Russians followed and opened a heavy tire directed about the water line with the evident intention of destroying the troops on board. The fire was. terrific and in a few minutes the decks were covered with corpses and awash with Wood, One shell which struck the engine room killed 200 men. The ships began to till and sunk gradually by the stern. At 0 o'clock In the evening she WJIS completely submerged, ^ Supt\ Campbell, the. English master of the transport, Jumped overboard at 2 o'clock in the afternoon and ig>auin> hered among the missing. The chief engineer was killed on the bridge. Col. Luchi, commander of the troops, ordered the flag to be burned and then killed' himself along with many others. The second mate committed suicide. Many of the crew and troops escaped in the boats. The transport Sado is still afloat, but is badly damaged, She is being towed Into the, nearest port. She sighted' the Russian ships 35 miles west of Shiro island. Their signals to . stop were unheeded, go the Russians opened fire and signaled for those on board the Sado to leave the ship. I'pon that the crew took to the boats, and ili this way many escaped when the ship was eventually fired by the enemy. Dlflantrotift Defen*. A special dispatch from Liao-Yang to the Official Messenger of St. Petersburg says the battle of Vafangow raged the whole of Wednesday and the Japanese, receiving considerable reinforcements, crushed the Russian left flank and compelled the Russians to retire northward. The Russians lost 300 men killed, 300 taken prisoners and 14 guns. The easualtieg on the Japanese side are estimated at 1.000 men killed and wounded. The war office announces that Gen. Stakelberg was forced back before greatly superior numbers and retreated to Vantsialln, :¾) miles north of Vafungow. The enemy had over four divisions in action. A semi-official dispatch from Mukden, dated Juno 10, says. The engagement at Vafangow -was undertaken with the object of drawing off a portion of the Japanese forces from Port Arthur and resulted in improving the Russian position. The Japenese losses were very heavy. ~ Qeorge HI. for many y life read n p t h j ^ U t h/ prayer boo* •«•• ' '• • pirtft made * special study of the liatin seUrlsts and.

The custom of publishing the banns of marriage dates back to the primitive church, for Tertulliun, who died A. D. 240, states that warning of intended marriages was given among thecal ly Christians. It appears that the publication of banns was habitual in many places long before there was any general law on the subject, since Gregory IV. (U98- 1210) speaks of the banngjfrom Latin bannuin, a proclaroatiojacTAbgla-Saxon, ban) being given out in cuurch, according to custom. The practice was introduced into France about the ninth century" and in 1170 was enforced in the diocese of Paris. The earliest enactment on the subject in England was an order made in the synod of Westminster in 1200 to the effect that no marriage should be celebrated till the banns had been published in the church on three several Sundays or feast days. This rule was made obligatory throughout the church by the fourth Lateran council held in Rome in 121.". By act of parliament banns uiuat now be given out In England on three Sundays.—London Answers.

CHAPTER An Astonishing Discovery. •With one glaaee--around—toe -anack meet, which gave no sign of being tenanted but a moment before by nearly a score of people, Ivan bounded up t h e steps and, removing the oaken bar,which had been carefully.replaced when the door was closed after Ilda's entrance, stood, silently for a moment. "Without t h e r e ! " he asked. "What do you want?" "Admittance!" was the prompt reply. '•Your object at this hour?" "Speech with youl" Ivan glanced once mare.._&bout_ the room. Then with the single word "Enter!" he flung the door wide open. A tajl, soldierly figure stood in the "doorway an instant, and then without a moment's hesitation entered ,and, descending the steps, calmly surveyed the apartment. Ivan.closing the door,descended and stood face to face with a stranger, whom no surveyed with keenest interest. "Now. sir, the object of "this visit?" asked Ivan as he pointed to a chair. The stranger, ignoring the courtesy and speaking in the unmistakably peremptory manner of a man accustotaied •to command, after another glance around the room, fixed his eyes upon 'Ivan, "1 seek information of a young girl—a musician." _ Ivan could not repress a slight start of surprise';' effort to control himself as he return ed the fixed glance of the stranger •'Her brother!" and as the stranger spoke he extended his baud. Ivan grasped it involuntarily. "You surprise m e " . Raid the, .inJffiQr,-^"aralPBff "Her name?" "Ilda Barosky!" As he uttered the words the stranger unbuttoned the great coat which enveloped him to t h e throat, and d/splayed an officer's uniform. Then with an easy indifference, he threw himself into the chair with the air of a man who had come to take possession and was bent upon something of a long stay. "Why do you seek Ilda Barosky here?'" asked Ivan. " .' "Because," was the quick reply, "she wCs seen to enter this house and has not. since left it. She is here." ".Seen to enter it—by whom . ' -—'•'<<}• my Kfrvnnt whom I ordered to you are her brother I have no right to object. I m a y leave a message for her, may I not." Ivan bowed. "Then say to her,"- continued the stranger, "that Alexis Nazimo#-~" "Alexis Nasimoff!" Ivan Interrupted with a start, and then, with an eagerness which astonished the stranger, he repeated, "Alexis Nazimoff! Are you Alexis Nazimoff?" It,was now the turn of Alexis to bo astonished at the intense interest of Ivan. "I am," he replied. "Colonel Alexis Nazimoff7,T wenf oh Ivan eagerly, as if to make assurance doubly sure. "I am Colonel Alexis Nazimoff." This with a faint suggestion of a smile at the other's eagerness. "But why this—" .'And the betrothed-^busband of Olga!" -^ Had a shell suddenly exploded beneath his feei, Alexis Nazimoff could hardly have been more astounded. With a look of profound amazement at Ivan, and then a glance at his surroundings, he paused a moment before speaking, as if he hardly comprehended the inquiry. ;jVIlle. Olga Karsicheff." Alexis said; in a tone of more hauteur than he had yet assumed, "and I have been betrothed for two years—but—" as the possible, significance of Ivan's words forc- Btoiti .a* first moment I loved Olga, but it was not with that hopeless passion t h a t a peasant might feel for a princess—*she was so far above m e In rank, birth, station, everything*. "But as time went on, and t h e baroness left us together—never dreaming for a moment that the secretary would dare to raise his eyes to one as exalted as MUe. . Karsicheff—we became more and more acquainted. There - t a s t e s we possessed in wrmmmm^m RAILROAD LITIGATION, * - * wm . , A, A m common—music and literature art. Finally, at the baroness' solicitation, I began to give Mile. Karsicheff lessons in English pronunciation, and together we began to read tole British poets. You may imagine the result. One day I felt myself carried away by my love for Olga, and there on my knees, in one breath, I told her of ray adoration, and begged her forgiveness. I found that my love was returned.' Alexis started. "Olga then told me of your betroth- -*v> W H ' e you w^r** » ^ y *n Asia there was no immediate peril, and for months we lived in a fool's paradise.

Karsicheff in such a manner? I—" He was again interrupted by Ivan, now speaking with feverish haste, his words flowing in a very torrent, to the amazement of Alexis.. "Tell me, tell me," he exclaimed, as he grasped Alexis' hand with a grip of iron, "tell me, do you love her, do you worship her—is she all in ah to you—has she given you her heart—do you possess her love—do you dare to make her your wife?" and . he paused out of breath by his impassioned string of questions. Alexis gazed at him in wonder. Then, as if speaking to himself, he said, "This man is insane." "No. n o ! " exclaimed Ivan, "I am not follow her." «0 insane. Listen to me—listen, for Ood'3 Ivan's eyes flashed. "May I ask by what right an officer sends his servant to play the spy upon a defenseless girl ^'because she happened to be alone and unprotected. When an officer—a man of rank—forces his attentions upon a girl who, being a musician, is presumably of lower degree than himself, he -can-have but one object in view—her dishonor!" The stranger sprang to his feet, and half-drawing his sword, said in a voice of anger: "Stop, sir! When you attribute my visit here, or my actions, to a dishonorable motive, you lie! It Is because I am a man of honor—because I respect the girl, that I am here to-night. Summon her h e r e ! " Ivan stood motionless. ' "Well, sir!" The stranger spoke with some impatience. "Here she comes not," said Ivan calmly. "I forbid it!" It Was now the stranger's turn to start.!' "You forbid' it!" he exclaimed. "Aifcl pray, sir, by what right do you assume to decide for the girl?" "By the right of being her protector." The stranger changed color. It was sake^-for your happiness, mine, the happiness of Olga. depend upon your words. Do you love Olga with all that devotion, that depth of affection, that would make you give up an—life itself, if need be—^or her happiness? Tell me—answer truly, for the dear Gods love—would you force Olga to pn nnwilltng marriage? would you drag a helpless, friendless girl, to an unloved life with you if her heart were given to another? __Answer me now, for Godls sake, for life and death hang upon your words!" Alexis Nazimoff gazed at the man before him as if he could scarce believe his senses. This man—here—in this place, with these gloomy surroundings, to talk thus of Olga Karsichett— lit his beliulhed wife—of the daughter of the powerful minister of police. But I\an's manner moved him. "No," was his reply, "I would never marry an unwilling bride/' Ivan dropped his head and sank on a chair. "Thank- God, thank God," was all he said.

That name was again repeated. Alexis was annoyed. "I must ask you to explain,' he said, "by what right you speak of Mile. Karsicheff, my betrothed wife, as 'Olga!'" Ivan arose.

Shall we put it to the test? Will you hear the avowal of- her love for me from the lips of Olga herself?" "Yes! Go!" almost shouted Alexis. "We shall put it to the test. In God's name go, and let me be convinced, and I swear that if Olga Karsicheff enters that, door to-night she shall never be my wife." "And I swear .to you she shall enter.

Will you give me your word of honor to • keep, as an- inviolable secret.. w)iat_ I am abom to say?" Alexis paused before making reply.

In a few words Ivan made known what the reader has already learned of his early life and that of his sister Ilda. Alexis listened with interest until Ivan began his story of his career in the house of the Baroness von Rhineberg, "It was here." Ivan went on. " t h a t . I first saw Mile. Karsicheff.

Alexis sat spellbound. Ivan watched him with anxious eyes.

It was an accident that led to the discovery of the method of transferring handwriting to iron. An iron founder while experimenting with molten Iron under different conditions accidentally dropped a ticket Into a mold. He presently found that the type of the ticket was transferred to the iron In distinct characters. Following up the Idea which this fact suggested, he procured a heatproof ink, with which he wrote invertedly on ordinary white paper. This paper was introduced into the mold before the molten Iron was poured in. When the mold cooled the paper had been consumed by the heat, but the ink, which had remained Intact, had left a clear Impression on the Iron. ~~ - """":" % M » « T b e y A r e W i d e B r i m m e d , H i g h n n d F r a g i l e .

'*The hat consists of a wide brim and a crown high enough to contain the topknot. The hats are made of many materials and vary in price from $2 tc $40. Their form dates back to a time, centuries ago, when a king who was fearful of plots and conspiracies devised the head wear as a protection against his noble enemies. If men could not get their heads together, he argued, they could not engage in a conspiracy, so he issued an edict compelling his courtiers to wear hats with gigantic brims. Then in order, to pre= vent fighting on the street he ordered that these hats be made of a thin porcelain. In case of a fight the hat would certainly be broken. This would necessitate explanations from the nobleman, and street rows were thereby ended. ^y "Though#the hats are no longer made of porcelain, they are sufficiently fragile to be bmkeu if the wearers engage In any violent*Henionstrations."

A sound or gesture made by an animal under any mental or emotional lmprtj»ssion and calling out a similar one in another animal is an element of language, when the rabbit quickly beats the ground, its follow rabbits know that the-re is danger somewhere, and they take action accordingly. That is rabbit language. When the hunter imitates the rabbit and thus conveys the same ideas, he is '^speaking" the rabbit language for the time being. Many animals use signs, which of course are understood through the eyes. The ants converse by touching antennae and feet. Many insects rub the elytra. This is animal language in Its simplest form. It expresses but few ideas. But there are animals which are,capable of modulating their "voices." Even the common rabbits, which seem to be mute, are constantly making sounds, which a little observation will soon discover to be ever changing in volume, modulation, etc. Much of this method of communication changes when the animal is brought into civilization from the, wild state. The wild dog, for instance, barks very little when in freedom. How the household dog barks and is able to express himself is well known. l l i d d e u T a t t o o M a r k s . An escaped convict was on trial before a French court, and the question turned upon his identity with a prisoner known to have been tattooed. There was no appearance of colored marks upon his arm, and the question submitted to M. Leroy, the medico-legal expert, was whether the man Imd ever been tattooed. M. Leroy applied strong friction to the skin of the man's arm. This had the effect of bringing out white lines as cicatrices, with a. slight bluish tint.

Earthquakes and Peetilence, Prom early times pestilence has been regarded as one of the accompaniments of earthquakes. Nor Is this perhaps a mere figment of superstition. Many Instances of epidemics following |upop earthquakes are on record, says the Lancet Thus in 557-60 A. D., earthquake years, Constantinople was visited by a pestilence, and In 615 A. D., after more than a decade of seismic disturbances which extended from Japan to the Mediterranean, the whole of Italy was visited, according to Slgonlus, by a fearful epidemic, of which the nature is not recorded. Old writers, such as Von Plenclz, an authority on the Lisbon earthquake of 1755, were wont to attribute the pronenestf rr> < H — • « A T b i h i r a d hy/whftlft p n p n l n - tions daring earthquake seaaon to shaken nerves begotten of prolonged suspense and ] ? r o ^ r*rt *» n ^ t Don't rorget Chas.

Writing of the people of the Labrador coast, in Harper's Magazine, Norman Duncan tells a pathetic story of a poor mother whom he met sitting with her child outside the Battle Harbor hospital: " 'He've always been like that,' she said.

" Notwithstanding a good many subordinate granges have adopted resolutions approving of the Brownlow good roads bill it is only reasonable to assume that many have done so without understanding Its details fully. The legislative committee of the national grange not long ago met in Washington and went over this bill carefully and also certain others bearing on farmers'v interests and discovered therein some/fefttures that the grange could not afford to^aRfirove; consequently they have had drafted and introduced In congress what is known as the ' grange good roads bill. Some of the j marked differences between the two are outlined below. i i I The B r o w n l o w bill provides for t w e n t y - t w o members of the bureau a n d necessary J assistants, on a total salary a n d expense j • roll of )75,000, aa compared w i t h only three l I commissioner's provided by the grange bill | o n , a total a*lary of $15,000 a n d necessary assistants, their salary and t h e expense ' total not stipulated, but left to the discretion of the bureau and the secretary of agriculture. The g r a n g e bill iloe8 not, aa i the Brownlow bill does, prohibit the use i of funds for road building In municipali- ; ties of 15,000 or more people. This is also left to the bureau and secretary. Both bills leave to these authorities the decision as to the necessity for the highw a y s applied for. The main point of dif- I ference b e t w e e n the g r a n g e and the Brownlow bills is that the grange bill ; provides that the applications m u s t c o m e from the states or territories through , proper public road officials, while the Brownlow bill w o u l d allow a n y civil sub- Tvlglun of -¾ "BTHW tor sale f o r - a i d t£=*hegovernor does not ask for It. This m i g h t place the township or county over the Btate in s o m e c a s e s and t h u s give only a local importance to road building enterprises. Under the g r a n g e bill this, objection is eliminated a n d the s t a t e m u s t help -in the undertaking. Subordinate granges hereafter, In passing resolutions relative to roads, will do well to distinguish between the Brownlow and the grange good roads bill. The latter is one they can approve beyond a doubt. One feature of the bill which we consider decidedly better for the- farmers' Interests is that the secretary of agriculture is really made the chief executive officer of the road commission that the bill calls for; Indeed he has almost supreme control. Knowing Secretary Wilson as most members of the Order do, by reputation at least, as being most heartily in sympathy with the farmers and working for them in every possible way, they can feel safe in trusting to him and the commission over which he would preside to carry out the provisions of the bill. Irery subordinate grange in Pennsylvania that adds five new members during the quarter ending March 31 will receive a prize of a photograph of the .state grange officers suitable for framing. The three grand purposes of the i^sange are the social elevation, the educations! advancement and the moral .immizmmtst .t&fi.fuatrjf famjiik.........

Three years ago he was unheard of by the reading world. To-day he is read everywhere, is sought by publishers, and the pages of the magazines, from The Century down, are open to him. The story of how he "arrived," how. he" first set foot upon t h e stepping-stone to success, he tells in The Editor, the New York magazine for literary workers, incidentally giving t h e latter class some excellent advice. Here are a lew of his terse, pregnant sentence** Work! Don't wait for some good Samaritan to toil you, but dig it out yourself. Fiction pays best of all. Don't write too much.

"As soon as a fellow sells two or three things to the magazines," says Jack London, "his,_£ciend8 all ask him how he managed to do it," and then he goes on, in his own racy way, to tell how it happened to him. He had many liabilities and no assets, no income and several mouths to feed. He lived in California, ft from the great publishing centersT and did r o t know what an editor looked like. But he sat down and wrote. Day by day his pile of manuscripts mounted up. He had vague Ideas, obtained from a Sunday supplement, that a minimum rate of $10 a "thousajuMvords_jms p a i d ^ M Jlgurj&i on earning $600 a month, without overstocking the market. One morning the postman brought him, instead of the usual long, thick manuscript envelope, a short, thin one. He couldn't open it right away. It seemed a sacred thing. It contained the written words of an editor of a big magazine. When, modest as *ver, he had figured in his mind what the offer for this 4000-word story would be at the minimum rate—$40, of course—he opened the letter, Five ddTIarsT ~ "~ Not having died right then and there, Mr. London Is convinced that ho may yet qualify as an oldest inhabitant.

D U F F Y , M. D. 8»er«««ry etfth* American Church Blblo liwtftuto Copyright, 1904 By Ber. F. P. Duffy tt is uaiveraally admitted t h a t &a a p a t r i o t Cteorge Washington . standa without a rival la t a e a n n a J i of t h e world. It Is not, however, s o generally allowed that a s a military genius he transcends ' a l l others. Americans and hia admirers t h e world over might well reat content with beholding their ideal citizen acclaimed with universal consent t h e unique figure in t h e annals of. human weal, industry and peace. Yet I do not think it would l ^ r d t o show t h a t even in military s he ia still without a peer. the arts of peace, not^war, is heme, and we shall therefore e a v e the question of military genius to a more convenient season and address ourselves to t h e subject in -hand: Washington and t h e American flag. This natnrjaUy faHg under t h e threefold head—Washington's Ancestry, the Evolution of t h e Flag, and the Symbolism of the Flag." $ First, Washington's Ancestry. As far as historical research h a s yet reached back, Washington's ancestry has been located in Durham, in t h e north of England. From Durham some of t h e Washingtons migrated to Lancashire. Then we find them settling in Northamptonshire, in t h e reign of H e n r y VII. From Northampton the great-grandfather of Washington emigrated to America in or about t h e year 7. T h e pursuits followed by t h e hingtons may be summed up ) t h e farm. It Is around this last that t h e most interesting and romantic incidents of t h e family gather, and Northampton is the scene of t h e varying vicissitudes that culminated in t h e emigration of Lawrence Washington to Virginia. T h e emigrant, who was knighted by J a m e s LI spent his younger days in Brington. In the parish church there are two sepulchral stones of absorbing Interest to every American. One with ^the daterTtfte is over t h e grave of-theemigrant's father. On it appears his arms "impaled" with those of his wife. The second covers the grave of an uncle, and has on a brass a simple family shield with t h e extraneous crescent appropriate to a younger son. But that which is of transcendant interest to very American citizen Is that here on t h e tombstone of t h e dead a/e emblazoned emblems sacred to a great ration and which thrill the soul of a mighty people; the embryo of the National Flag—the, Stars and Stripes. T h e stars on the shield have this peculiarity, they a r e five pointed, whereas six points a r e the general characteristic of heraldic stars. On the coat of arms are three stars and two horizontal bars or zones „ with " a l t e r n a t e gules and white"—gules being the word in heraldry for red—in a vertical position. H e r e we^discover the nucleus, the fons et origo, of the American Flag. Three years ago, when spending a lengthened vacation in England, l had of a parish not far from Bringi t w a s a source of never failing tlolTTd visit "God^r Acre;" t o t w8' close to t h e ashes of the dead, to meditate upon t h e origin of the American Flag, to delight in the discoTerYvOf the hidden meaning of its symboliih^, and oft to quote t h e opening lines of Cowper's h y m n : "God moves in a mysterious way His wonders to perform!" Second, T h e Evolution of t h e Flag. 'In colonial times each colony had its own peculiar ensign, a n d both army and navy of the United Colonies displayed various flags. Some were colonial, others were regimental, and still others were for special occasions; T h a t at Fort Sullivan. Charleston harbor, was a blue field with a silver crescent. T h e ensign under which the battle of Bunker Hill WAS fought was t b e New England flag. T h e flag of an American crulsci Is thua doccrlbed by e London Chronicle of January, 76: stripes, alternate red a n d white, and that the union b e thirteen stars, white on a blue field representing a new constellation." T h e first display of this flag a t a military poet was a t Fort Schuyler, site of t h e present city of Rome, N. Y. Paul Jones claimed he was t h e first to show t h e s t a r s a n d stripes on a naval vessel. T h e national flag first appeared over a foreign stronghold, Fort Nassau, New Providence, Bahama Islands, on I t s capture, June 28, 1778. Capt. Mooers of the whaling ship Bedford, first flew the flag in Great Britain, Feb. a, 1783. At length a committee was appointed to definitely fix t h e national standard. This committee called in Capt. Samuel C. Reld of t h e privateer Armtained t h e original thirteen stripes and t h e blue ground of t h e union, but added a s t a r for every state, and this has been t h e device of t h e flag ever since. On t h e admission of a territory as a new state, a new star is added to the field of t h e National flag. In 1301 there were forty-five stars. Third, T h e Symbolism of t h e Flag. In t h e Bible there a r e certain numbers and emblems to which a sacred character Is attached. These are significant in t h e Christian as they were in the Mosaic and t h e Edenic dispensations,- In t h e flag there are numbers and emblems apparently unconsciously adopted. It is remarkable that the numbers a n d emblems of t h e Bible er I h T c l u T c T i r t h ^ i r r a y , t h e tevr-***-***-***-***-***-**^* ; - ^ e t w a four cardinal points, t h e four seasons of t h e year, the four winds of heaven, a n d In Biblical imagery t h e four Living Creatures, t h e four Judgments of God, etc. But t h r e e and four make seven, another sacred number. In t h e Book of Revelation we read of the Seven Candlesticks, t h e Seven Seals, the Seven Trumpets, t h e Seven Stars, t h e Seven Spirits of God, etc. Then t h e six white stripes a r e doubly symbolical. First, six is a sacred number, being a double triad, or Trinity twice repeated, the" emphatic trine and second, white is a unity composed of seven, as white light i s composed of t h e seven prismatic-rays which consist of three primary and four secondary, a remarkabffl corresp«ndence to '.- -; ->.Y'' >»»»»»+»»»<TM»»tt<0lf* MICHIGAN NEWS • • ' V _ What's Doing la All Sections of the State strong, to, devise a n e w fiag: H e -*e- - the- tbree-4e»g~aiid t h e -four -ahoxLxgd. cannot for a moment think that t h e designers of t h e flag consciously selected these numbers and emblems because of their sacred character; or knew that they were sacred at ail, from which we a r e shut up to the conclusion t h a t t h e choice w a s made under a controlling providence. To,begin with: T h e flag as a whole represents unity. In itself this is nothing extraordinary. But then stripes of t h e flag. But these two, six and seven, make another sacred number, thirteen. ' T h e sacredness of thirteen is intensified by looking at it it another way. Three and four multiplied together produce twleve, another sacred number, as t h e twelve tribes, t h e twelve Apostles, the twelve signs of the Zodiac, and such like. But twelve and one make thirteen. There is something more than remarkable in the sacred numbers of the flag that culminate in twelve. They a r e : 14-3 + 4 + 6 + 7 + 1 2 = 33, the exact number of years that Christ lived on the earth, and t h e exact average of human life upon t h e earth, a n d ' the exact number of years in Iuni-sdlar cycles jgLtime, Is all this mere ch work ? But this i s not all. The colors^are sacred also. When God would give outward expression to m the mystic symbolism, of Religion He was careful to express t h e colors of His choice. "Blue and purple and scarlet and fine turned linen"—the colors of t h e American flag—red, white' and blue. Red is t h e sign of redemption, blue of heaven, white of purity and peace.

To that end. we reaffirm the action of the Republican state convention nt Grand Rapids, May 10, 1904, In favor _cf_ primary reform, where change* from the^exTstthTTintcus ny&= •convention system are desired. "We further believe it wise and de filraMe that all caucuses and primaries relating to the selection of delegates to s a t e conventions should be held upon the same day. And recommend to the lncomlug legislature the adoption fit such a law, with proper details for its satisfactory enforcement." Hon.

We have a great campaign before^us. and I shall make my flight state be given the right by legislative enactment to nominate their party candidates for governor by direct voio. Both gentlemen advocated the amendment, which was strenuously •opposed by the Hon. Perry i\. Powers and others, and then overwhelmingly defeated. The oratory over the roll -call settled It, then came the nominations, resulting in the selection of these candidates: For governor—Fred I.i. Warner, of Oakland county. For lieutenant-governor — Alex. Maitland, of Marquette connty. ' For state treasurer—fcrank P. Glaaier, of Washtenaw county For secretary of state—George A. Prescott. of Tawas City.

When Mr. Warner came upon the platform after Hie nomination winr made: with Mr. Warren ang Mr. Horton. the great audience received them with a salvo of applause that shook TheToof. Mr. Warner, In accepting the nomination, said: "Fellow Citizens—I am deeply grateful to you and the Republicans of Michigan for the high honor you_have conferred on me today. I cannot but on the principle of our devotion to the party of this state and to the national ticket headed by Mr. Roosevelt. If elected, my only endeavor will be to serve the whole state. In no other way can I show my appreciation of your kindness to me today than by doing my plain duty." s Homer Warreu followed with a neat speech, full of wit and dry humor, which showed that so far as he was coirceThed, the sttWttpiT wxrg- uccepted with becoming grace. "It is ail right." said he. "Personally T can say^thaMhe best thtrrg possible has happened to me, and 1" presume that you took this way of showing your Interest in me. I am a Republican and promise the ticket my hearty support. I am somewhat of a fighter, but believe In.fighting from the inside, and when it is all over I am still a member of the Republican party. 1 admit I have strong convictions. Many of you have. We respect each other for them. I in. tend to stick to mine." Somebody called for a song, but Mr. Warren said that though during the last 20 years it had been his sad duty to sing at funerals many times, he drew the line at singing at his own. Mr. llorton spoke briefly along barmohy lines, The only exception to the general harmony was the attitude of Justus S. Stearns. The Ludington man came to Detroit in the morning, but be did not appear at the convention, nor did he allow his name to be presented, though the sixty-five Kent county delegates voted for him jnst the same. Stearns left the city before the convention was over, so that his attitude as to the ticket could not be learned. —r The ending of the convention seemed— tcr end- alI the scraps, and general handshaking ana hurrahs began.

TORTOISE SHELL. 1» W o r k l n * It G e n t l e H e a t a n d P r e s - s u r e Are N a l n l r tfeeel. A tortoise shell is harder and more brittle than ordinary bor& Heat and pressure are practically the c^nly means which can be employed in working it. and it is impossible to work tortoise shell at a great bent, since the coloring pigment ea&lly-itqtteflQa awl obscures the shell, thereby greatly lessening its value. Heavy pressure iff also impossible owing to its brittle character. The plates of the carapace, or back shell, are first separated from the skeleton by the application of gentle heat and then flattened by a similar process. The superficial irregularities are next rasped off, and the material is polished, ready for molding into any desired shape. Larger or thicker plates are produced by a process which requires great care and attention. Two surfaces are first rasped and cleaned and are then gently Ueatetl and pressed together. The heat liquefies them, and the pressure effects a perfect union, making an invisible Joint. Tortoise shell combs are cut by the highly ingenious twinning machine, so called because two combs are cut from the same plate, so that the teeth of one dovetail into the spaces of the other, avoiding all waste.

It was supposed that the vibration of the atr caused by the movement of the bells resulted in the dissipation of the electric* fluid In the air. The belief was so common at one time that the_bejls, were runjg as toon as signs of an approaching thunderstorm were seen. Science now holds a contrary opinion. Not only does the sound have no possible effect on tho air, but the vi^»at^n cajiafrfl bj the souud of n bell upon a cloud charged with electricity may cause it to discharge its contents upon the ringer of the bell in the church tower.

The last annual report of the Patrons' Mutual Fife Insurance company of Connecticut shows a most gratifying condition of business, says Secretary Bacon in the New England Home* stead. Last year 128 new policies w e n written covering $257,000 insurance. The premiums on these were ¢1,765. Expiring insurance renewed during the year amounted to $424,704, the premiums upon ^hich were $3,770. The total insurance written was $782382, on which the premiums were $5,535. The total outstanding risks Dec. 31, 1902, were $2,044,410, the premiums on the same being $13,855. Insurance in thia company cost the Patrons $7.10 per thousand for a three years' term. The common rate for farm property in most mutual companies Is $10 per thousand. There, was never such a demand for graugo literature and never so many newspapers running grange" depart^ ments as now. The membership is increasing so rapidly that publishers find it good business policy to use at least a column of grange matter each week. Fredonia (N.

Alexia thought a moment. Then, taking up his coat, he handed it to l¥an> who, Quickly assuming the g « v fined feeling of danger of some sort ment, said: "Rest here, and trust me. I will keep my word. Should any one enter in my absence, say you are my friend and await me." Then as be was going he suddenly stopped. Taking his overcoat, he said: "You are tired from your journey and exhausted, no doubt, by your expertonce to-night. Rest there, and throw this over you. You will wait my re turn?" "I will await your return." He glanced up the steps as Ivan departed, saw the door close . and heard a key turn in the outer, lock; then rapidly departing footsteps till they were lost in the. distance, and then there was profound silence. Ivan had started on his mission, and Alexis was alone. CHAPTER X. Caught in the^Trap. It was only after he had sat a minute or two, amid silence so profound that he could have heard his heart boat, that Alexis Nazimoff began to reason with himself. "What if this pere a trap?" The=4deano sooner occurred—than^ It was dismissed. No one had induced him. to visit the place. His coming had been entirely of his own Volition, and could not have been anticipated. Besides, there could be no possible mistake~abotrt Iran's amazement when he had revealed his name, and there was something in the manner of the man, despite his excite- :ment,-ttat-ferbade the idea of treache r y . Then he thought of Ilda. She here—with her evident refinement and highly wrought nature— here, in this dark, gloomy, forbidding /place—in the cellar-like- apartment of a house in the lower quarter of the •town. What did it mean? And she "wasTstin here! Alexis looked around, this time with more eager interest. There was apparently no doorr except the one at the top of the steps. 4t puzzled him. Had Ilda gone in the Interim between the time when his man had seen her enter and his own arrival.' Then he remembered that Ivan had not, after all, admitted that his sister was in the place. "Well," was his silent conclusion, "there is nothing for it but to wait liia return. I must be patient." When a man gets into a frame of mind when he says he must be patient, the most natural thing in the world to enable him to endure patience with a comparatively cheerful equanimity is a cigar. To his annoyance he found that his cigar case was in his greatcoat pocket. Suddenly his eyes rested, on Ivan's coat. In Russia all men are smokers, and Alexis felt the chances of finding a cigar were strongly1 in his favor. He lifted the cloak, and as he did so lie uttered an exclamation of pleasure. There was a cigar case sure enough. Alexis withdrew it from the pocket, and as he sat down he tossed the coat back on the table. As Tie did have a silver piece so stained. What did it mean? What could be the object?" He had been sitting there examining the . coin for perhaps a minute could hardly tell how or by what. But so slight as to* be barely heard, but unmistakably a sound. Alexis rose to his feet. An unde- — — — — — — — — i p i » » - « » » » w II 11 'I ' « - * * — "Her*, brothers, listen to this," he said, as he took up the paper, and. speaking In low tones, read as fc> Llbws: * "Alexander the Tyrant Is Dead! "Rise Russia! "Death to the Oppressors! "To Arms, Free Russians, to Arms? "Long Live the People!" "We will have a thousand copies of that posted throughout St. Peters burg," said Oraminsky, "and then-5 the Revolution! That would stir the sluggish blood of the moderates— even of sucn a Riudei'gHrlw-rwwIuhe knew not what, took possession of him. He listened, with every nerve strained to its utmost* There was silence again. He tried to shake off the unpleasant impression of some unseet danger and thought that his imagination had deceived him. Hark! There was the sound again. That was no rat. The sound came from within the apparently solid walls. Noiselessly as he could he went on tiptoe and placed his ear to the wall, and then waited with bated breath. What was that? "Good God!" he exclaimed, in a whisper to himself, as a murmur of voices reached his ear, "there are people within this wall!" Even as he made the discovery a sound came from the opposite side. He was there in an instant, his ear again pressed- to the wall. The same murmur reached him. "By heaven, the place is alive with people," he exclaimed. "What does it mean?" A grating sound, different from any he had yet heard, reached him. He felt that something, he knew not what, was about to take place— fharrhe danger; rTOTngeTTrws; was at hand. The place, its appearance, the mysterious noises—all boded deadly peril of some kind. He was in a den of criminals. "Trapped!" he thought.,'.!caugh*fby heaver, like a rat in a t r a p ! " / Alexis Nazimoff was a brave m a n - none braver. But the bravest man may be unnerved by the presence of an unseen danger—of a_danger that is felt, not confronted. He was accustomed to think quickily, and to act impulsively. Hastily thrusting the cigar case into the open front of his coat, he quickly but softly moved to where Ivan's coat was lying on the table. To take the coat and move to the long bench" that stood alongside the wall was the work of a couple of seconds, and in as many more he had lain down, pulled Ivan's coat over him, and was apparently asleep! But he had so arranged the coat that while it covered his head he could see anything that transpired on the opposite side of the room—the side on which he had heard the sound for the second time. Softly and silently aa a nhaflow the solid wall seemed to move! Every panel was a revolving door which turned noiselessly on its axis, and from every door entered as silently as a specter an occupant of the mysterious recesses beyond. A rush of air and the movement of softly treading feet convinced Alexis that exactly the same movement was being executed simultaneously behind so, from a small receptacle or pocket for matches on the side of the cigar case, something fell with a jingle to the floor. • Alexis picked it up. [ ^~ A Red Rpub'le! He lighted the cigar, and then, after a whiff or two, he gazed curiously at the coin. A Red Rouble—painted—dyed? Alexis turned It over in his hand, '•gtnguhr thing," he thought, "to his back. Such was the fact. Then to the amazement of Alexis he realized that the apartment of which he had been the sole occupant a moment before was now tenanted by a score of people. He lay perfectly still—astonished, spellbound. Suddenly the silence was broken. "All is wea," said Oraminsky. "Whoever, it _was, there could have been no danger, since we did not hear the signal." "Ncr the sig::-l to ccr-iD. c u t / some one said, in v, ^"owiin:, v.-nco; "it is the first time we brokr the rules." "I-have'suspended the ruler,' raid Oraminsky, v.ith grim irony, "without breaking them."' Just what he meant nobody seemed to understand. Oraminsky, resuming his authoritative; tone, put an end to the silence by directing the people to resume their work. "Now that Ivan has gon$ -wo £an run off the remaining copies of nis proclamation. Kirshkin, start the pressV' _____ _ The man thus addressed- went to the wall, and touched a concealed spring, a section of the solid structure revolved and a clumsy handpress of an old type was run on noiseless rollers into the room.

"Not so," was the reply pfthe^prlrt" er, Kirshkin, as he caught sight of the recumbent figure. "There lies Ivan fast asleep!" and he pointed as he spoke. "Fool!" muttered Oraminsky, "he has no right to sleep at such a time as this. Wake him up, Hersy!" Alexis drew a deep breath. The moment had come. 4t—was—a question now of ilf e ~or death. Hersy—a woman of the po^le, fl«ik and sullen—sprang to his side. "Wake up, Ivan Barosky! wake up! We have just finished a letter of invitation." " To the funefaTof the czar; said Kirshkin, whereupon there was a laugh. •- "And printed Tn red, too—red- will be the fashionable color in St. Petersburg," said another. "Because the czar will wear it and set the fashion for all." —"Come, come," said Hersy, "wake up!" and as she spoke she grasped the coat and pulled it from the recumbent form. "Ah!" with a scream of astonished rage as she discovered the stranger, Hersy pointed one finger at Alexis— "a spy!" Quickly springing to his feet Alexi3 drew his sword. "Down with him!" "Kill him!" "His life!" were some of the exclamations which fell on the ears of Alexis, as pale and resolute, with no evidence of fear in the steady eye, he gazed at the faces of the now bloodthirsty crew before him. "Well, dogs of the gutter," at length he said, as for a moment they stood at bay, held back by his undaunted front, "what seek you? My life? Take it when you can!" —And notf with knives drawn, with such weapons as came to hand—a~ hammer, chisels, an ax—they began to close in upon him with murder in their eyes. But none, not even Oraminsky himself, felt like leading the assault, and being the first to feel the thrust of the naked blade which Alexis held with the grip of iron and the masterful ease of the perfect swordsman. "But a scratch and we have him," said Oraminsky. "Rush on him in a body!" But nobody rushed. Nobody was itching for a scratch. Kirshkin at the first moment had left his press, and as Alexis drew his sword he had crept up the room behind the othei-3 and on all fours had gone under the stairs and around to the rear of-the dauntless swordsman, who, with certain death staring him in the face, kept a bold front to his would-be murderers .

Solomon's stable, with its horses, chariots and horsemen, is said to have ieprqsented a sum the modern equivalent of which would be three or four hundred millions, and he spent two nundred and fifty millions on his temple. Herod's temple cost more still. In Jerusalem ^n Roman times there were threo Jews, who between them, felt able to face an expenditure of a hundred millions a year for twenty-one years. They offered to feed the million inhabitants of Jerusalem for that length of time rather than surrender the city. One of these Jews, Nikoderaon, gave his daughter a jdowry ol $425,000,000.

" As Alexis was borne back by the .weight of numbers, and in'spite of his gallant Blruggle against such overpowering odds, there fell from his pocket a bundle of letters, and these it was but an instant's work for Oraminsky to grasp.

How Webster Missed Being President. The campaign of 1840 had a dramatic and unexpected sequel. Thur- •low Weed, before the meeting of the Whig convention, sought out Webster and-urged him t|Ttake second place on the ticket with garrison, but the suggestion was rejected with scorn. An acceptance of Weed's advice would have made Webster president in little more than a year. What Did He Mean? A Scottish singer named Wilson was being trained for professional singing.

This recalls to nund the mysterious invention of the great.Dundonald, which was so terrible that the British government even in i U need and extremity surah* Irom orajrtoywt U, a a d r«- solved to keep it a profound secret lest somebody should put it to use and literally "stagger humanity." Dundonald, who wa%a*-accomplished in chemistry and engineering as b e was formidable , in conflict, first proposed his device in the early Napoleonic wars, to annihilate the French fleet and fortresses at Toulon. It was considered by a committee composed of ihc foremost army • and navy authorities and including Con gr eve, the inventor of the rocket. [The committee reported that the deundoubtedly- do--aH that >undonald claimed, but with a devast a t i n g fury that would be inhuman. So the government: declined to use it at Touloa.pr a t Flushing. When Dundonald went to South America,, the British government exacted of him a pledge that he would not use nor divulge his invention there, a pledge which he kept at cost of forfeiting his pay from South American states. In 1846, when there was fear of war with France, his scheme was.again considered by a British committee, which reported that it would infallibly annihilate a hostile fleet, but that the use of it would be inhuman. Twice during the Crimean war it was considered for the reduction of Sobastopol, but though nobody doubted it would do the work effectively, it w a s rejected on the same grounds ar. before. So to this day the *wfu4Hseeret=*ema*Bs a secret, hidden MiftMO LAST YSAfi't TRIP. away in the confidential archives of the British war office. ~ Now, it may be that the British government was right, and -that Dundonald's invention was too inhumanly destructive to be used. But it seems doubtful if governments will assent to the Outlawing of any of the existing enginery of war, or even of some new 1 h a v e a nnmhpr of miners wbo-roaMy- Miner Had Good Reason for Net Being SnetJese. Sir William Butler, an English soldier of distinction, said recently in giving testimony before a British commission In regard to militia service: '/Warwickshire men miners and that class of people, like to get to the sea for ten days if they can possibly afford it—they will spend their own money to do it. They all bathe. I have a very long seacoast and we inventions that may yet be perfected. It would be absurd to demand that warfare in the twentieth century should be conducted with the weapona of the tenth century. Nor aro we sure that it would be well for humanity thus to restrain warfare within primitive limits, even if it could be done. The more terrible the engines of war become, the fewer t h e wars themselves become, and, strange as it may seem, the less destructive do they become. Hannibal used weapons which would be contemptible by «xo Bo«id^e to,ifo t „h,o.s~e„ o„f, „t„h e« l~a.s«t -h«u 1n..d.,r,1e d#« iy e«a««r™s, G_ et. _R ed" C r*o°s*s LB aVll "B lunMe,^ thLJe "b^es*tn B all ™B l.u e and his army wa«3 a mere handful com- L a r g e a 0 z. package only 5 cents. pared with those wielded by Napoleon and Grant and Moltke. Yet no battle of the last century can be compared with Cannae in dertructiveness to human life. Had Gettysburg equaled It, proportionately, not a single man of Lee's army would have been left alive. AS for Waterloo, its slaughter seems insignificant besides that of the Apulian field. Nor was Cannae singular. The battles and the wars of old were, as a general rule, more numerous and more deadly than thoso of modern times. The broadsword and the pilum did greater havoc than the rifle and the machine gun. So, iu a strange way, do deadly inventions lessen mortality, and so, with a strange literalness, does civilization get forward upo n ^ powder eart,—New York Tribune. enjoy being out with their regiment of garrison artillery near the sea. They go to the sea because they fire over the sea and the bathing parade is as valuable, if not more so, than the drill; it freshens the men up and cleanses them. An officer told me last summer that when they were bathing there was one fellow with a very black skin,, and he heard a man say to him 'Jack, you are pretty dirty.* 'Yes,' he said,, 'I was not out at last year's trainicg.'" Spy on Each Other Every nation leads a double life. Even our own honest republic is honeycombed with dark reeeBses-QJLpoi: J> ley and what is rightly called statecraft. Our president Is supplemented by Mr. Hay, and, as wettrby John Er Wilkie, our chief of secret service, who wear.y quite properly, a dark air of mystery as he goes about the world. We have not Invented esplonage and I do not know that we have perfected it, but where other spies go our list-footed gentlemen go also, and there is in Washington a tolerably complete knowledge of the doings in the underworld of international politics. Brussels, however, is the capital of International espionage, whether it be political or diplomatic or military— this by reason of its central position and the neutrality of Belgium. The pocrot cervice of France has always been singularly good, as it has need to be. Of recent years, however, the service has been badly dislocated. Both England and Germany have outmaneuvered it time and again. A few years ago a stranger in Paris might have seen a whole city boiling with patriotism and hissing an alien king in the streets.—What intcroot the Parisians In crying "A bas le Uhlan!" as he of Spain passed? e in the^world. The German emassy had, however, at.that moment an interest in creating a "diplomatic incident," and so It distributed money to the servile press of Paris, loosed its many agents ln^ the streets, and the~organized "manlfestattonr"—- — This is a single, slight illustration _of the utility—the morality Is another questlc^—cTlTsecret service which has to do with more than smugglers and coiners and such simple folks. One cannot live for many years in Europe nnd study what are_itQDically called "public affairs" without cutting many of these dark trails. International espionage is a huge and complicated system. That part which has to do with politics Is by far the most Important. In France, at all events, under the popular tumult of many a noisy election, the wily work of England or Germany has been discovered. Three^years ago I was told by one Who was informed that the French gnvprnmpnt knfiw and was watching Last Stop Was His Undoing. Max von Pettenkbfer, who has been called the founder of scientific hygiene, and, next to Humboldt, the most popular of all German naturalists, lost a fortune in umbrellas, seldom bringing back what he had taken away. Once, however, he made a trip as far as England, and was-«wery proud of having actually succeeded in bringing back his umbrella to Germany. At Augsburg he stopped on business, but sent a telegram reading; "At 6 o'clock I return, "with my umbrella." He did return at C o'clock, but as he entered his house in Munich h e s a w to his dismay that he had no umbrella. He had left It at the telegraph ctatien, _ _ .___ _„i:_™.„ 0MCK A T i T L I OP HONOR. English Appellation of "Cad" a Verbal Degeneration. ?Cad," It is pointed put by a writer, is a word furnishing "a pathetic instance of verbal degeneration." He says: "Its grandfather 'cadet' and its father 'caddie' are still alive in the language, though the relationship is recognized by few. 'Cadet,' signifying by derivation from the Latin a •little head/ or 'little chief,' was a sufficiently honorable word for the a(f youcger son nf a noble-family, and acquired its modern army sense from the fact that the army was often the destiny of younger sous. But it also begat 'cadie' or 'caddie,* a Junior or subordinate in general, suetr-sas' a bricklayer's assistant or the familiar golf caddie. Then 'caddie' or 'cad' came to mean an odd-job man nnd from calling this name Oxford undergraduates presently applied it to 'town* in general as contrasted . with 'gown.' As no compliment was thereby intended, its final degradation is obvious." Influence of Light and Darkness. A biological laboratory was established in the catacombs, near Paris, in 1896, for the purpose of observing the influence of light and darkness upon different animals. In crustaceans the gray pigment gradually disappears, the eye is modified in its forepart, and the organs of smell, touch and taste increase _unt.il .they are tripled in size. Fish in the dark lose their color and grow but half as large as they would in the light. the following foreign agents—274 Germans, eighteen Austrians, seventy- one Italians, eleven Spaniards, seventy Englishmen and thirty-three Russians and Poles, with a fair complement of Americans, Dutch and Swedes. Through so finely a reticulated network of observation hardly the smallest minnow of fact can escape. Nothing takes place in Europe, I believe, no statesman takes snuff, no king sneezes, but is known within twenty-four hours to every state.—Success.

The first step is to cut oft coffee absolutely. That removes the destroying element The next step is to take liquid food (and that is Postom Food Coffee) that has in it the elements nature requires to change the blood corpuscles from pale pink or white to rich red, and good red blood builds good strong and healthy cells in place of the broken down cells destroyed by coffee. With well boiled Postum Food Coffee to shift to, both these steps are easy and pleasant. The experience of a Georgian proves how important both are. • "From 1S72 to the year 1900 my wife and. I had both been afflicted with sick or nervous headache and at times we suffered untold agony. We were coffee drinkers and did not know how to get away from it for the habit is hard to quit. "But in 1900 I read of a case similar to ours where Postum Coffee was used in place of the old coffee and a complete cure resulted, so I concluded Try this recipe, and you will have a good, tough substance for your lamp shades: First procure some concentrated sulphuric acid and mix it with half its quantity of water. Pass some rough, good paper quickly through this, wash it in several waters quickly, and the change is effected. Have two pairs of tweezers to hold the paper with, as such a strong solution would burn the skin and cause acute pain. V . ft.Pays to Read Newspapers. Cox, Wi*., July 4.—Frank M.

The Indians not only "rose, but soon after left the reservation and laid siege to the fort It was but a two company post, incapable of a long defense against the thousand Indians who encamped around It, and unless succor arrived in time It would be taken and. the garrison massacred. There was one person In the fort who mistrusted Joe, and that was Lucia, daughter of the commandant, Major Mcuregor. sne orten caught Joe casting longing eyes upon her, and somehow she did not quite like their expression. She warned her father to Jbok out for the half breed, but as she gave no reason and Joe had given information of the rising the major declined to be influenced. One evening Joe appeared hurriedly before Lucia and told her that her father had sent him for her—She fnllnwout, but dared not lose a second in removing the handkerchief that gagged her. She reached the fort and entered the hole not ten second?-before Joe pushed his larger body more slowly through It. When he got Inside he saw Lucia standing beside one of the barrels of powder, the head of which bad been removed, holding the lamp of the lantern over the powder. "Stop or 1 drop the light!" The man saw desperation in ber eyes and halted. "Come away," be said: "You will Kill yourself as well as me." Her only reply was to move the light, holding it within a few inches of the powder, and give a piercing shriek. A sentry walking past in front of the magazine door beard the cry. At another time be would have called the corporal of the guard, who would have reported the matter, and the authorised person would have come with the key and opened the door, but for several days constant .access to the ammunition had been necessary and the door left unlocked. The sentry brought his piece to a level and flung open the door. There stood the colonel's daughter, white as a ghost, holding a lamp over a powder barrel. Joe was glancing at her, trembling from bead to toot. "take him!" said Lucia. The sentry brought his piece to his •houlder and, looking along its muzzle, gave the order "Hands up!" Then Joe was marched away to the guardhouse. There -were both consternation and relief when it was known that Joe bad to nearly succeeded in not only getting away with the colonel's daughter, but bad very nearly led the Indians into the magazine.
