By QTLBERTE HOLT. U S I N B S S had brought him to his nathe town in the sunny south. He was in haste that his mission should be concluded 30 that he might get away Trom "tfie lage. The very beauty of its fragrant spring dress saddened him. ; In a timid, hesitating way he bad made a few inquires for old friends, but the answer was ever the same. War had scattered most of the old families. Those alone remained who slept In the peaceful cemetery in the dip which formed a vale at the bend in the river. "And the Ralstons?" All were gone. ,Ot the impetuous, high spirited family, only Miss Erma was still alive. The Ralston b o y s - four of thenvMay in soldierfe* graves beside<thfe(f gaitoxr*'father. Mrs. Ralston had seen her brave boys brought horn dead one by one. But she -gave them for her country's cake, gladly, but *er -heart was slowly breaking. She did not long survive her huabaod. "Did Miss Erma «tifl live at Ironwood?" No. The old plantation was desolate &nd Miss Ralston lived in a little white cottage down fte road; the one .almost smothered in jasmine reid roses. The gentleman took his cane and with a bri»*;,irtftp,wtteh toM <rf state young blood still flowing in his veils, started down the street in the warm spring .sunshine. The square shoulders, erect head and firm tread all bespoke the soldier. As he came in sight of Miss Erma's house his steady walk became jerky and finally settled into an uncertain amble. For the fraction of a second he paused at her gate, then beat a hasty and confused retreat. Completely out of breath he drew up beside the high arched gate which opened upon the soldiers' last tenting ground. "By Jove! It's no use. I couldn't face her," and the old man mopped his brow. *'Whew, how her eyes did blaze! Facing a cannon is play to standing the fire of Erma's angry eyes." He leaned against the post The light, idled out o£ his face and he thought of that long away time when be and Erma had been lovers. And thea dune the war. How Quickly had followed that awful day when he went to, say farewell and she would not look at him. because he wore the hate* htoe. He tried to argue, tried to per- •u&de, but she would not listen. She was a southern girl—Cot Balaton's' daughter. If he fought toe south, he fought her and was her dead- !y foe, Was it not cruel enough that stood then en the low, wide steps, a slim, girlish figure clad in clinging white. Her cheeks were flushed and her mouth tremulous, but the chin was firmly set. All through the war he had carried in his heart the memory of her as she stood in the sunshine, framed by tne stately pillars of the gallery; while'he, with despair in his heart, but a dogged determination in his eyes, turned, when half way down the broad avenue of live oaks, and lifting his uni6n cap murmured, "God keep my southern sweetheart!" How often he recalled her words. He could almost hear them now. "Go. You are_a traitor. Ijiever want to see "your "face again." The old man shook his head cor* rowfuily.; No, $he would never forgive him, not even now after all these year8. Well, he would go back north on the morrow, so what matter? He and the Ralston boys had been college students together. He would pay a visit to their last resting place. He opened the gate and slowly made his way among the flower-covered mounds. When he reached the Ralston lot, he looked about him sorrowfully. He felt sadly desolate. He alone was left of all those merry, laughing fellows. Presently his eye wandered to a grave somewhat apart from the rest The scarcity of its flowers drew his attention to it. He wandered idly toward it, thinking, "Some poor friendleas chap.'' He started and tli^n dropped upon his knees in bis eagerness to read the sKnple inscription on the headstone. It ran: "MERRILL FREMONT." "Born 1S3S. Killed at Gettysburg, 1863." "Why, that's my name!" and the old man looked about him in a dazed manner as though for a moment he doubted his identity. "Yes. my name U Merrill Fremont and I was born in '38, but though I the dreadful war thottld^ienrive her of her lover, without cafiiag alt* to Ight agalnet laeteaf of for her? How clearly he could tee her aa she ••WHY. THAT'S MY NAME.** .was wounded I did not die at Gettysburg- A union soldier in a confederate graveyard. Ah. that accounted for the lack of memorial flowers/* and he smiled grimly. "But Tm not dead," and be thumped his cane vigorously upon the travel -path. He leaned his hands *on his stick and stood gating intently at his own /4Tt i»*t me—but U Is some naloa soldier buried for me. and he shall | have some flowers. Yea. Ill decorate a y own gran,*' aad wit* a I chuckle Merrill Fremont started briskly down the path. As he neared the gate it opened, and a tall, slender figure clad in black entered, followed by an old negro fairly staggering under the weight of magnolia blossoms. Something familiar in the two figures made Fremont pause. But they did not notice him. The lady turned up a side path and walked quietly toward the end of the grounds Merrill had just quitted, followed more slowly by the old serving man. Merrill faced about and watched them. He was certain now that the woman was Erma. He expected her to enter the Ralston lot, but she only paused, "waved her hand toward the flower-hidden graves, said something to her.aU^ndant and passed on her way until Ehe stood beside the* undecorated gjave. Fremont rubbed his eyes and stared. The lady motioned to negro to lay his fragrant burden down. Merrill hastened up the path. He was near enough to hear the well-remembered voice say, "You may go, Uncle Sorney; I'll arrange the flowers myself." The servant shuffled away down the path he had come, while his mistress knelt to place the blossoms. Merrill Fremont paused, hat in hand. Erma believed him dead and forgave him. How would it be when she found him alive/ He stood in dumb uncertainty. She was his only love and to lose her again would be more terrible than not to have found her. Dead, she surely loved him; her action proved i t Would he not better go away in the certainty of that love than, by staying, perhaps revive the old bitterness which his return to her unharmed while all her beloved family lay dead, might recall? He was about to retreat. It was too late, the lady turned and saw him. He stood awkwardly before her. She looked at him in puzzled Inquiry. Suddenly he cried out "Erma." She moved back a pace in surprise at being so addressed by an apparent stranger. . Once his tongue loosened Merrill gave her no chance to escape. In quick, incoherent words he poured forth the mistaken report of his death, his love, his sorrow for her grief, and at last aa earnest plei that she would prove more kind than in the past. As she listened a delicate flush crept into the lady's pale, sweet face./ The shadow that rested in the deep, blue eyes lifted. She looked searchingly at the man before her. Could this really be her young lover, returned in the guise of this impetuous elderly man? She had neve rthought of him save as the soldier boy who/had gone away at her bidding. At last she seemed to understand. For a moment the comers of the lovely mouth forgot to droop. J By the light of memory the man and woman grew1 young again. When hi* torrent of words nnssert she stood silent tor some momentajtnd thea held out her hand as she softly said:/ e hanjah our anger tower we Iwwi the gsayea of 01 • greet empire and little miafe 1 WAR NOTE;;, The civilian member of the U. S. Philippine commission are favorable to the meeting with a Filipino com* mission which was suggested on behalf of Aguinaldo, by Lieut. Reyes, of the staff of (Jen. Gregory del Filar, who came to Gen. Law ton under a flag of truce bearing the proposal. It Is thought by the American commissioners that the idea may have resulted from a recent meeting of the so-called Filipino congress at San Isidro. Definite information on the point, however, cannot yet be obtained; though the local Filipino committee which is in close communication with the leaders of the rebellion, is doing its utmost to secure peace. The "tinclad" gunboats Lapruna de Bay and Cavadonjja and a launch uuder Capt. Grant, ran into a nest of insurgents, concealed in the brush on both sides of the Itio Grande river, three miles above Calumpit, on tiie 14th, and were received with a heavy volley at short range. A sergeant belonging to the Utah battery was killed and one private was wounded. Opening with the rapid fire guns, the Americans killed 20 of the natives and wounded several others, filling the jungle with a hail of shot for half an hour, until the enemy lied. Gen. Lawton succeeded in capturing San Isidro. the rebels new capital, on the 17th, without the loss of a single man, and only had two slightly wounded. The enemy's loss was 20 killed, 13 wounded, 3 taken prisoners and many rifles lost. After the rebels were compelled to leave the capital they retreated into the mountains. Our army and the gunboats are now ascending the Rio Grande, in persult of the enemy. Ten members of Maj.-Gen. Lawton's band of scouts, under W. M. Young, the old Indian fighter, entered the town of San Miguel, about 15 miles north of Norzagaray, not aware of what place it was. They found 203 Filipinos there, but the rebels taking the scouts for the advance of Gen.' Lawton's army, lied, after firing a few shots. ' Young and another scout were wounded and were removed to Manila. The war department says there are no discharged troops in Porto Rico to which the government is indebted. A larjre number of men who had enlisted in the regular array for the war with Spain asked to be discharged and in lieu of being- returned to the United States by the government to receive travel pay in money, which was done. They have probably grown homesick and want to return. A large number of natives, a majority of them being families with their household goods, are returning daily to the towns inside the Am*ericaTnlInes7~ Same of the richer Filipinos are going to Manila while the laborers are resuming work in the rice fields. A special from Washington says that within a few weeks a fully organized battalion of Porto eXicaos, wearing Uncle Sam's uniform, will be performing duty on their native island under the direction of American officers.

That He Might Have Ridden AU the Way Up. Pittsburg News: Though elevators are not new, they are new to a whole lot ot persons. An old fellow from somewhere is the client of a lawyer who recently remomd his office from the first floor of an old building in Grant street to the thirteenth, floor of a modern office building. The old fellow came in to see him, and after much trouble found the building. His legs were stiff and his wind was short, but he started up the stairs. By the time he reached the fourth floor he declared that he would take his business out of the hands of the man who was so unreasonable as to live so high. He took a long rest at the fifth floor and would have turned back if it wasn't that he wanted to pay off his lawyer that very day and retain one with an office on the ground floor. At the seventh floor he gave it up. He couldn't go any higher. He sat on the steps and watched the elevators going up and down and noticed that they were well filled. He reasoned that since scarcely any person used the stairway the fare on the elevators could not be high, and he could hard- 1: be accused of extravagance if he i e the rest of the way, since there would be no necessity for him to come to the building again. So he hailed one of them. "How much'll you charge to take me to the thirteenth floor?" he asked the young man who seemed to be In charge. "Get in here!" ordered the young fellow, as he seized him by the coat, pulled him into the car and started up. "I can't stand there answerln" fool questions all day. Thirteen. Out you go! Move lively, now!" "How much?" asked the old chap, untying the shoe string that held his wallet. But the door was slammed in his face and the car disappeared. "Thunderation!" exclaimed the old fellow. "If I'd a known that I nrrht a *=Tole a r\dn °1' the wav up!" His lawyer explained the matter to him, and. while the old man thought it was mighty handy, he said it looked a good deal like Imposing on people to be riding up and down free all of the time.

You know he was an awful drunkard , and was sent to th e state prison and died there . I guess she has had lots of trouble.

Three physicians had triven me up bat fortunately a friend advised trying Electric Bitters and to my great joy and surprise, the first bottle made a decided improvement.

How I loved him and watched over him. He was my all, my ideal, my only boy. I would keep him away from the saloon. I hid him as it were, but the time came when he would not be watched over by his mo the r any more, and in an evil hour he was tempted to take the first glass and came home to me one night with the smell of liquor on his breath. My poor brain was crazed and I knew not what I did. I went from saloon to saloon asking who had given the hellish poison to my boy, but they only laughed at me. Th6 saloon keeper had given the devil one more soul in return for a few dollars. They called me crazy. My boy whom I idolized killed a man in a drunken brawl in a saloon, and was sent to the state prison for lifd. They tell me he is dead. They say I am crazy. Do you wonder that I am crazy? Where is my home, my husband, my boy? Where is my beautiful boy? Yes, I am crazy.

"TUB SUN PUT OUT," LATT SUNDAY'S SUBJECT. Text: **Th« Sun Shall Be T«rned Into barknc**"—Act* S> to— KUlftg Hum of the World Is the by Louis KlOpacfc.) Christianity is tus riBlug sun of our time, and men have tried with the uprolling vapors of scepticism, and tne smoke of their blasphemy, to turn the sun into darkness. Suppose the areaan/ jeb of malice and horror should be let loose a little while, and, be allowed to extinguish and destroy the sun in the natural heavens! They would take the oceans from other worlds, and jiour them on the luminary of the planetary system, and the waters go hissing down amid the ravines and tne caverns, and there is explosion after explosion, until there are only a few peaks cf Ore le& in the sun, and these are cooling down and going out until the vast continents of flame are reduced to a small acreage of fire, and that whitens and coo!s off until there are only a few coals left, and these are whitening and going out until there is not a spark left In all the mountains of ashes, and the valleys of ashes, and the chasms of ashes. An extinguished sun! A dead sun! A burled sun! Let all worlds wall at the stupendous obsequies. Of course, this withdrawal of the solar light and heat throws our earth into a .universal chill, and the tropics become the temperate, and the temperate becomes the arctic, and there are frozen rivers, and frozen lakes, and frozen oceans. From Arctic and Antarctic regions the inhabitants gather in toward the center, and find the equator as the poles. The slain forests are piled up into a great bonfire, and around them gather the shivering villages and citites.

The sun turned Into darkness] Infidelity In our time Is considered s great joke. There are people who rejoice to hear Christianity caricatured, and to hear Christ assailed with quibble and quirk and misrepresentation and badinage and harlequinade. I propose today to take Infidelity and Atheism out of the realm of jocularity into one of tragedy, and show you what infidels propose and what, if they are succesful, they will accomplish. There are those in all our communities who would like to see the Christian religion overthrown, and who say the world would be better without i t I want to show you what is the end of this road, and what is the terminug of this crusade, and what this world will be when Atheism and Inudelity, have triumphed over it, if they can. I say, if they can. I reiterate It, if they can. In the first place, it will be the complete and unutterable degradation of womanhood. I will prove It by facts and arguments which no honest man will dispute. In all communities and cities and states and nations where the Christian religion has beer* dominant, woman's condition hag beta ameliorated and improved, and she is deferred to and honored in a thousand things, und every gentleman takes off ste hat before her.

What mean \ho80 white bundles on the ponds and rivers in China in the morning? Infanticide following infanticide. Female children destroyed simply because they are female. Woman harnessed to the plow as an ps. Woman veiled and barricaded, and in all styles of cruel seclusion. Her birth a misfortune. Her life a torture. Her death a horror. The xutasionary of the Cross today in heathen lands preaches generally to two groups—a group of men who do as they please and Bit where they please; the other group, women hidden and carefully secluded in a side apartment, where they may hear the voice of the preacher, but may not be seen. No refinement No liberty. No hope for this life. No hope for the life to come. Ringed nose. Cramped foot. Disfigured face. Embruted soul. Now compare those two conditions. How far toward the latter condition that I speak of would a woman go it Christian influences were withdrawn and Christianity were destroyed? It is ony a question of dynamics. If an object be lifted to a certain point and net fastened there, and the lifting power be withdrawn, how long before that object will fall down to the point from which it .started? It will fall down, and it will go still further than the point from which it started. Christianity has lilted woman up from the very depths of degradation almost to the skies. If that lifting power be withdrawn she falls clear back to the depth from which she was resurrected, not going any lower, because there is no lower depth. And yet, notwithstanding the fact that the only salvation of woman from degradation and woe is the Christian religion, and the only influence that has ever lifted her in the social scales is Christianity—I have read that there are women who reject Christianity. I make no remark in regard to those pereons. In the silence of your own soul make your observations. A world without a head, a universe without a king. Orphan constellations. Fatherless galaxies. Anarchy supreme. A dethroned Jehovah. An assassinated God. Pa:rieid«, regicide, deictde. That is what they mean. That is What they will have. If they can. I say, If they can. Civilization hurled back into semi-barbarism, and semi-barbarism driven back into Hottentot savagery. The wheel of progress turned the other way and turned toward the dark ages. The clock of the centuries put back two th&usand years. Go back, you Sandwich Islands, from your schools, and~lr^rF7our~goth?ge8-ftfi<l from your, reformed condition to what yon were in 1820, when the missionaries fir3t came. Call home the five hundred missionaries from India, and overthrow their two thousand schools, where they are trying to educate the heathen, and scatter the one hundred and forty thousand little children that they have gathered out cf barbarism Into civilization. Obliterate all the work of Dr. Duff in India, of David Abeel in China, of Dr. King in Greece, of Judson in Burmah, of David Brainerd amid the American aborigines, and send home the three thousand missionaries of the Cross who are toiling in foreign lands, toiling for Christ's sake, toiling themselves into the grave. Tell these three thousand men of God that they are of no use. Send home the medical missionaries who are doctoring the bodies as well as the souls of the dying nations. Go home, London Missionary society. Go home, American Board of Foreign Missions. Go home, ye Moravians, and relinquish back into darkness and squalor and death the nations whom ye have begun to lift. Oh, my friends, there has never been such a nefarious plot on earth as that which infidelity and atheism have planned. We were shocVed a few years • ago because of the attempt to blow up the Parliament Houses In London; but if Infidelity &sd atheism succeed In their attempt they will dynamite a workl. Let them have their full way and this world will be & habitation of three rooms—a habitation with just three rooms; the one a madhouse, another a lazaretto, the other a pandemonium. These icfidel bands of music have only just begun their concert— yea, they hare cmiy been stringing their instruments. I today put before you their whole programme from beginning unto close. In th«v theater tie tragedy comes first -and the fa*e« afterward; but in this infidel draft* of death the farce come3 first and the tragedy afterward. And in the former, and infidels laugh and mock, t in the latter God himself -will laugh asock. He says so. "I will hutgb their calamity and mock when their ear cometh." i From such a chasm of Individual, national, world-wide ruin, stand back, young mefl, stand bad* from that h**m! You see the practical drift of y sermon:' I want you to know that road lead*. Stand back thai cfc**m of Ing to come (you and I may not lire to see it, but it will cone, Just M certainly as tfaert is « God. it will come) when the Infidels and the atheists who openly and out and out and aboVe-board preach and praetlce" iotldellty and atheism will be conside> ed as criminals against society, as they are. now criminals against God. Society will push out the leper, and tho wretch with soul gangrened and ichorous and vermin-covered and rotting apart with his beaatlaljty, will be leff to die in the ditch, and be denied decent burial, and men will come with spades and cover up the carcase where it falls, that \K poison not the air, and the only texfln all the Bible appropriate for the funeral sermon will be Jeremiah 22:19: "He Khali be buried witii the burial of an aas." At the beginning God said: "Let there be light," and light was.and light is, and light shall be. So Christianity is rolling on, and it i3 going to warm all nations, and all nations are to bask in its light. Men may shut the windowblinds so they cannot see it, or they may smoke the pipe cf speculation until they are shadowed under their own vaporing; but the Lord God is a sun! This white light of the Go3psl made up of all the beautiful colors of earth and heaven—violet plucked from amid the spring grass, and the indigo of the southern jungles, and the blue of the skies, and the green of the foliage, and the yellow of the autumnal woods, and the orange of the southern groves, and the red of the sunsets. All the beauties of earth and heaven brought out by this spiritual spectrum. Great Britain is going to take all Europe for God. The United States are going to take America for God. Both of them together will take all Asia for God. All three of them will take Africa for God. "Who art thou, oh great mountain? Before Zerubbabel thou shalt become a plain." "The mouth of the Lord hath spoken it." Hallelujah, amen! FAGCINQ AT EATON. It Still ExUU, Bat In a Greatly Modifled Form. The system of fagging exists at Eton, as In nearly all large public echools, but It is practiced now In a much modified form. As shortly described In the Chautauquan. it may bs said to- be the acknowledged right of elder boys to exact from the younger boys (their fags) certain servicesmenial and otherwise. Its origin ' is obscure; It may have arisen as au economy, when schools were poor, as It must save expense and labor for the younger boy3 to black boots, make tea and boll eggs for the older ones. But Eton is now exceedingly wealthy, Its endowments being nearly 21,000 pounds & year, and there can be no__Egason_wJiy, because a lad I3 young, he should have^ to wall trprm—hiaschoolmate as his servant and be ejtp<< sc<l to the chance o( very great tyranny. Jn the latter end of the last century* the fagging at Eton was so cruel and excessive that it Is reported that often a young fag would be kept, up waiting on hi* master till 1 o'clock in the morning, and being fror? lack of time prevented from getting his own lessons for the next day, would receive a thrashing from the master for the omission. Many instances of heartrending bullying and cruelty practiced by the big boys on their fags were reported, but fagging at Eton haa been greatly reformed. This and many other improvements were ma'nly due to the exertions of Dr. Hawtrey, who was head master from 1834 to 1853, and who, in conjunction with Provost Hodgson, wrought most of the changes which have given the college its present staging. Before Dr Hawtrey's appointment tho number of the pupils had fallen to something under 200, the moral* and tone of the school were exceedingly low and terrible abuses had crept in. Dr. Hawtrey at once commenced the work of reforms, sweeping inuovations were made and new regulations instituted; the tone of the school improved and the numbers rose to 777, the highest yet attained.

I advocated a return to the simpler habits of our ancestors. "Yes," he said, "living on parched peas sounds very fine In a book.

CHAPTER XXIX.—(Continued.) The wild boara that lurked In the broods baSed o»r >«8orts for a long time. By the edgt*ofthe ^tehet we possessed I fashioned for my own use a kind of $p9**. about six teet long, fcewn out of a piece of fine teak wood, which I/found upon the beach. This weapon I made and pointed with great care; and armed with It frequently fey in watch for the sealions, but without success. On the shore, at this season, when the, sunshine was reflected from the sloping faces of the volcanic rocks and from the surface of th«; sea, the heat was beyond all description—intense, breathless and suffocating, so that the - lungs would collapse painfully in the difficulty of respiration. To breathe was like attempting it at the mouth of a newly-opened furnace, and so I usually retired inland and sought the cool solitude of the deep thickets, or wandered through groves, of solemn, impressive and majestic old trees; for some were there so old that they must have cast the shadows of their foliage on Alphonso Ue Albuquerque or Tristan da Cunha and their bearded followers. How many ocean storms had swept their leaves into the waste of waters since then! We had now been fl^o days on the island without a sail being seen, though more than half our time was spent in watching the horizon; and so Tom Lambournes' old shirt still waved in vain from the boom-end on the mountain-top. On the fifth day, however, to our surprise, the signal was no longer visible, so we supposed that a gust of wind haM overthrown it in the night. Lambourne, Carlton and Probar stnrted for the mountain-top to restore it, while Hlslop and I rambled into the woods, where we had a view" ©f the shining sea to the westward. The waves came in long rollers, ns there was a fresh breeze blowing from the west, and the foam rose white ana high on the tremendous bluffs of the Inaccessible Isles, as we named them. All the water between them was a sheet of sparkling and snowy froth, amid which, haj we been nearer, we should doubtless have seen the black heads of the seallona, as they sported in the spray and sunshine. On asking Hlslop how far he thought we were from the continents of Africa and South America, he replied, without hesitation: "We are about fifteen hundred miles from the mouth of the Rio de la Plata on the westward, and twelve hundred odd from the Cape of Good Hope on the east; but there la land nearer to us " . "Land nearer!" I reiterated. "There are the three isles of Tristan da Cunha, and about five hundred miles southwest of us a desolate rock called the Isle o;f Diego .Alvarez; and fortunate it is Indeed for us that we were not cast away there, as it yields only mossy grass and now,and then a few seals or sea-elephant* may be seen up* , on the reefs about it. Dut, Dick Rodr ney, does it not make one long to be afloat again, with a good ship underfoot, both tacks and the breeze^ too, aft?—a cloud of canvas, carrying the tare* masts into one whwv sea£ aatern r-the lower studding-sail booms rigged out and dipping, in the flying spray as she rolls from side to s i d e - does it not, I say, bring all this to jnind, when from here we can watch the wares that rose, perhaps, between the shores of Mexico, rolling in foam between these rocky isles? Do you remember Homer's description of the curling wave?" And without waiting my reply he began to recite from the Iliad with wonderful facility: "As on the hoarse, resounding shore, when blows the stormy west, The billowy tide comes surging wide, from ocean's dark blue breast; First in mid-sea 'tis born, then swells and rages more and more, And rolling on with snowy back, comes thundering near the shore; Then rears it crest, firm and sublime, and with tumultuous bray Smites the grim front of the ragged rock, and spits the briny 4>ray." How far Hlstop, in his classical enthusiasm might hare pursued his free translation, till we had all the deeds of Agamemnon and others on that tremendous day beCove 4kt walls of Troy, I cannot aty. had not a erashJag sound in the adjacent thick* routed and Alarmed us. We started «p and bad just time to conceal ounmlves behind the trunk of A trje* when * aerd of seven wild boars came plunging out of the thicket to 4rink at a raaMl wmJca towed toward the sea. : They were vnllfc* any of t i e swlnbut for our vague sensations of alarm we could have watched them with pleasure, BB they inserted their long, fierce snouts in the water that sparkled under the forest Ieave3. They were all broad-shouldered animals, with high crests and thick, bristly manes, and all were black in color or darkly brindled. Unlike those of the sty-fed hoga, to which we had been accustomed at home, their erected bristles shone like silver or polished steel in the rays of eunshine that fell through the waving branches, their eyes were flashing and clear, and their skins were all clean, as if washed for a show of prize pigs. Thin flanked, active and strong, they began to grunt and gambol, and to splash up the glittering water, .till suddenly they caught sight of us, and all fled, save one, a fierce old boar, which, after tearing up the grass with his hind feet, came resolutely forward, showing a pair of tusks that made me tremble for the calves of my legs if I ventured to run off, and still more for those of poor Hlslop, who was alike unable to escape or confront him. Fortunately I had my teakwood spear. While keeping a tree between me and the boar, he prepared for the offensive by whetting his terrible tusks against a stone and grunting hoarsely.^ Excited and bewildered, as be came on at a quick run, I charged my weapon full at him, and by the mercy of Providence, the point entered one of his fierce, glittering eyes, which made him rear up and recoil, while in his rage and pain the bristles on his ridgy back rose up like little blades of steel. "Into his throat with your spear!" cried Hlslop; but I anticipated the suggestion, for ere the words had left his lips I had buried—thrusting deep with all th? force that excitement and terror gave me—the pointed teakwood shaft down his red and gaping throat. Choking in blood, in foam and fury, the great boar writhed upon bis back, find In doing so tvitched from my hands the weapon, which still remained wedged in his throat and tongue, and rendered him almost powerless. I knew not what to do now, for if he snapped it through, and thus released f himself, we, or at feast I, would be lost. But as he lay ther« on his back and sides alternately, shorting, roaring and covering the grass with bloody froth, and tearing it by hla bristles, Hlslop sprang forward and though weak with many half-hea*ed wounds, drove a clasp-knife repeata^ly into the throat and stomach of the monster, which soon lay still enough. When it was quite dead I drew out my teakwood spear, and found the point almost uninjured, for I had hardened it in fire. We thrust two crooked branches through the tendons of the boar's hind legs, and by these drew it to our hut, which was about half a mile distant, there our prize caused great congratulation among our crew, and I obtained no little praise for performing so hardy a feat. Our return diverted for a time sotm* excitement and surprise which had been caused by the return of Tom Lambourne, Probart and Carlton froin the mountain top, with tidings that the studding sail boom had vanished, and that not a trace of it was to be fourid anywhere! CHAPTER XXX. A New Perplexity. The disappearance of the boom and of Tom's old striped shirt, which had waved from it like a banner, excited considerable speculation and something of alarm. If simply overturned by the wind, it must have lain where It fell; at all events, it could not have rolled far from the cairn, or pile of stones, in the center of which we had wedged it. By what agency had this dlsappearttce come to pass? That it was the work of wild animals could n<k for a moment be conceived; so tke,.event filled us with vague, but very alarming conjectare, With bis ka|cbet, Probart tfeuosrpenter cut down antt jpeparod a long and slender treo to f9ft?ace the lost boom on the top of the DevtTs mountain, as we now termed It; and while one portion of us assisted him in this, the other set about the eastun of some of the wild goats with which the woods abounded, as we were anxious to procure the milk of the female*, and the flesh of their kids. Thia.was A most arduous task, as they were so fleet of foot; afad -Vhen pursued, tear when in seardh 41' titos* bitter and astringent plants of which most dangerous pinnacles and V of reck that overhung the sea. In k places there grew a kind of wild labu r" num. and Hlslop did not fall to remind me that Theocritus described it as the favorite food of the goat. We often saw these agile quadrupeds spring, without pause, f*ar or Hesitation, frcm pinnacle to pinnacle, or from ledge to ledge of rock, where, had they missed footing, they must have fallen a thousand feet or more, either into the ocean on one side, or some ravine on the other, and there, perched far aloft, they would remain, looking at us quietly, and reminding me of the couplet: "High hung in air the hoary goat reclined, His streaming beard the sport c? every wind." By great industry, and the exertion of incredible labor and activity, we succeeded in capturing five, by isolating them from their flocks, and chasing them into chasms and corners from which they had no means of escape, and then we secured them by the running rigging of the long boat. Some of the females afforded milk, a rarity and nourishment to us who had been so lens at sea. The flesh of a kid we thought delicious, and lest we shculd tire of roasted and broiled, Jack Burnet, the ship's cook, contrived to boll some pieces of a goat in its own akin, stretched upon sticks, with a flre underneath, salt for a spice, and sliced pumpkin for vegetables. Of the hoins, when carefully scraped and cleaneri, we made very efficient drinking cups, In which our rum, duly mixed with water, was doled out to us by Hislop, the keeper of our provision store. The eggs of the sea- birds were a constant object of search, and being an expert climber, I frequently collected great numbers of those laid in the crevices of the rocks by the sea gull and storm-finch. Our life was one of perpetual exposure and daily activity. Though overpoweringly hot at noon, the atmosphere of the morning and evening was delightful, and, as these portions of the day were spent in hunting for food, the time passed rapidly, but Hislop'a chief fear was that if we were cot taken off by some ship before the rainy season set in, our discomfort and danger from agues would become very great. By the time we had been fourteen days on the island he was recovered so far as to be able to join me in making an exploration of it, or rather in walking all around it. Tb* circumferen'ce of the largest isle is ouiy four leagues, but its shores are so »v«ep and rocky in some places that traversing them proved a most ardu- On the eastern side we found a great cascade pouring from a brow of rock upon the beach. Toe latter was covered almost ersry/jjere by a broadleaved seaweed, the dark and slimy tendrils of which were several yards in length and we.re tormed by Hislpp "tho gigantic tijeus." So day after (Uy passed, and, amid our various means of procuring food, we never failed to keep a keen lookout to seaward to* a passing sail; but none came near taat lonely i3let of the southern sea. One mornieg I found there had drifted ashore near our but a mass of that mysterious substance, the origin of which has puzzled so many naturalists— ambergris. It must have weighed more than a hundred pounds, and when we threw seme of it into the flre it melted and diffused around a most agreeable perfume. This marine production, which is only to be found in the seas or on the shores of Africa and Brazil, is alleged by some to be a concretion formed In the stomach of the spermaceti whale. On the fifteenth morning after our landing a seaman named Henry Warren, who went to milk our goats, which bad been tethered to a largo tree near the hut, returned in haste to announce that the ropes which had secured them were cut, apparently by a sharp instrument—cut clean through —and that the goats, the capture of which had cost us so much labor, were gone. "Cut? By whom?" asked «vtry one. Before we had time to consider this, Hislop came out of the hut, and stated that one of our three bread bags had also been cut open, by a slash from a knife, apparently, and that several pounds of biscuits had been abstracted:' The strange alarm, and what was worse, the doubt of each other, which tbtse discoveries excited, were painful and bewildering. We examined the place wfeere the goats had been tethered, but could discover no traces of ieet, and nothing remained but the ends of the ropes (the long boat^ sheets and halliards) tied to the stem of a tree.

Gloves, in their first estate, are a somewhat expensive article of feminine dress, says Harper's Bazar. It is seldom good economy to purchase very cheap gloves, as they are liable to tear when putting on, to rip easily, or to develop somewhere a thin place which betrays one at an untimely moment. The frugal manager prefers to spend more upon her gloves at the outset and have them last longer and she makes up for the additional expense by taking care of this part of her wardrobe. When gloves are removed from the hand they should not he pulled off a finger at a time, but the wearer should take hold of them at the top and peel them off, so that the whole glove is wrongside out "when it leaves her hand. If there is any moisture about the glove, it IB well to leave it until it is entirely dry before turning it. Gloves require airing, just as other articles of dresB do. When perfectly dry, the careful woman turns her gloves, pulls them out lengthwise and lays them together as they were when she bought them In the store. If she is not expecting to wear them again for a few days she foldB them in tissue paper and lays them in her glove box. Those persons who are careful in these matters at no time lay aside a glove without first seeing that it is mended and entirely in order for the next time of wearing. All gloves Bhould, if possible, to some extent match the costume with which they are worn, and "while there are caprices from time to time which suggest the wearing of white or of black, or of some distinctly pronounced color in gloves, yet rio one goes amiss whose gloves do not make a false note in the effect of her toilet. s in the canfe of BhtMJi, 11 la a good plan, if one can, to have several pain ln use t t a time, the role applyii g. |p flove« as well as to shoes. The U stldlous woman carefully keeps her bed gloves by themselves, dons her second best for a shopping excursion or • daily walk, and preserves those which are even more worn for the market or the outdoor errands of the morning, or for the walk taken simply for health, when she dresses for comfort rather than for style. Gloves for driving and wheeling art thicker tan those for ordinary use, but equa - require care.- A glove may be spoiled \s to shape for all time bT heedless putting on when flrit worn. Chi \ who are always losing, their glo\ hould be taught to keep them in an . pointed place, and should tot trained to have no heedlessness in this matter.

Bank Robber* Unsncceiwful at Dnnsvllle. A bold attempt at robbery was made at Dansville, Ingham county, at an early hour on the morning- of April 29. Three men gained entrance to A. E. Densmore's private bank, and with dynamite blew the front door off the safe. The noise attracted the attention of Deputy Sheriff Moe, who is also a clerk in the bank, residing in the rooms above. He secured the assistance of three villagers and surprised tbe men at their work, but owing to the night being very dark the robbers made good their escape. Several shots were exchanged, but so far as known none jtook effect. The safe in the bank contained 82,500. The robbers did not get through the inner door, although the .safe is badly wrecked.

The question as to whether this government is in position to retaliate upon Cauaila for the enactment by Ontario of the prohibiting the exportation of logs has taken another kaleidosopie turn. The treasury depart^ ruent was recently on the eve of instructing collectors to re/use entry to all kinds of Canadian lumber when Secretary Hay diplomatically interposed with the suggestion that action be postponed until the meeting of the joint high commission in August. Within the past week the subject has taken another phase. There is little doubt that the government is inclined to retalitory considerations by the discouraging results of the negotiations in London, looking to the clearing1 of the iield for the assembling of the joint Canadian commission. It is gathered that the British foreign office, which had seemed desirous to meet Mr. Choate's advances in the spirit of compromise that promised well, has been again influenced by Canada's refusal to agree to anything less than a concession of all of their demands, which has stopped all progress. Tbe department of state has referred to the treasury department the arrangement of a plan to protect the interests of the U. S. and a decision from Secretary Gage is expected very soon. The treasury department now has two courses open, both bem<» retaliatory.

The events of the week past hsr« emphasized the need of a much larger army in the Philippines, without which, according* to the beat authorities In Manila, it would be attempting the impossible to expect to establish American supremacy in the islands. The inadequacy ot tbe American forces is said to be responsible for the large total loss in the number of small encounters, without materiai results as a compensation.

EY JA/nB0 GRANT, t i t •>** set ***»»*«• I « * r is Jj PER X^L—(Continued,) I looked keenly and' cautiously about me on every sl^., but saw only the slender and countless stems of the tall bananas, w.hpsQ broad, leaves, as they spread under or over each other, interrupted the rays of the sun, and formed a shade that WAS pleasing and gloomy. Now, when about to cross what seemed, a bole -er hollow in the jungle, by stepping from the strong tendril of one cre&p&r to another, a naked arm and &r«al human hand came up from amid the mass of leaves! I was seized by the right foot, and in an Instant found myself dragged down through the foliage and intertwisted, plants—down—down—I knew act where; and before I had time or breath to cry or resist, I lay prostrate on my buck in a hole—a lair under the matted juagle—with a man above me, his knees planted on my breast, his strong hands upon my bare throat, and his fierce wild eyes glaring like those of a hyena into mine. Then, how terrible were my emotions fm. recognizing in the light that fell through the mass of foliage above, as through a Tine-covered trellis—now overspread with hair, as beard and whiskers were all matte^into a mass —the dark and ferocious race of Antonio, whom I believed to be drowned and lying at the bottom of the sea— Antonio el Cubanl! "SilentioV said he, in a low voice, like the hies of a serpent in my ear; tut the injunction was unnecessary, for so completely was I taken by surprise— so utterly at his mercy, and so destitute alike of breath or weappa— that resistance was Impossible. Perceiving that I was almost strangled he relaxed his fierce grasp a little, but.still kept the sharply pricking point of his knife at my throat, as a hint to remain quiet. - It wouW be impossible for- me to describe the emotions of my soul during this tUne,' which eeemed an eternity to met Utter lear was one, for I thought the fellow had something supernaturairf- «omjeihiA£ truly, d«moarrabout hi oa { t h a t he could neither be drowned nor destroyed; and I lay still in that dark -heliow, pasting in his fierce dutch] without, « thought of resistance « Now 1 heartfrmy name shouted repeatedly. ,„ > ... . "Rodney—Mr. Rodney—Dick Rodney— where are you?" It was Tom l^nibourne and others, my companions, who had now attained the summit of the rock, and were scrambling over the jungle, and pushing between the stems of the bananas, searching for me, rather than for the first object of snch mystery. My disappearance alarmed them. "Can he hare gone adrift over the Muff," I heard Tom Lam bourne say, "or i6 he only having a game with us by hiding himself?" "Oh, yesi— that Is It," replied Probart, the carpenter; "he can't have gone aloft into one of these bananas, for they are as clear of branches as a spare topmast; so let us sheer off to the ma^te, anifl iir. Rodney will soon come down after us." "Well, my Utds/ there are neither wild men nor wild beasts here," said Lambourne! "so we Bhall return back to Master Hislop, who Is hanging in the wind ha^f-way down, and then be off to this ,^n'i ' We've earned a stiff glass qfHgrok'by this bout, anyhow." . My emotions became almost suffocating when'^ ileard them turn away to descend and rejoin Hislop without me. I saw and heard them paes and repast over us, the creepers of the jungle yielding their weight. The leg and foot of one, named Henry barren, came down through the green network of leaves and actually touched me. I drew a' long, gasping breath, and the atrocious Cubano, belleviug I was about to cry aloud, compressed my throat so tightly with his muscular hands, that a thousand lights seemed to flash beffft my. «yts. and I must hare becom* senseless .for some minutes, as the ntjttt incident that dwells In my memory is seeing him sitting in a crouching attitude, with his elbows on his knees; his black-bearded chin resting In tb« feoUow of his right hand, and with him < Mnife—his murderous AlbacM* enaklllo—«tencked in his white teeth, while he surveyed me with a stmns*»«B4 s*rdo*ie smile in his deeply-set bla*k «f«i, wbloh glittered lite that* of a s n a k e d tfce ray* of su»Ugkt tfcftt JftmtgUd through the woven roof of toaras about us. .

CHAPTER XXXIII. « It m'gl.t have been about the nour of ten, and we were still loitering on the moonlit beach, when the cry of "A sail in sight!" made every heart leap wildly and with hope. 'Twas Tom Lambourne who spoke, but every eye caught the ship at onceand even those who had been dozing on the warm sand or within the hut were awake and on the beach in a moment, stretching their hands toward her with joy and exultation, but the aspect of the Bhip gradually changed all this into suspense and utter bewilderment She was a large, square-rigged vessel— a ship running close-hauled on the port-tack (to use a man-o'-war phrase), and with nearly all her canvas set. She was about four miles off the reef at the entrance of the bay, and was bearing directly toward it. Her canvas glimmered like snow in the moonshine, and we could see the red lights of her cabin windows flash at times upon the pea astern, and the whiteness of her long flush deck, as she careened before the breeze. Yet how was it. we all asked, that there was not a breath of wind with us? "Perhaps she brings it with her," suggested Hislop. "And how it came to pass that she appeared right in the offing and outside the bay all at once?" asked Tom Lambourne. "She must have rounded the high bluff while we were all palavering," said Probart. Nothing more was said for a time, but whether it was the effect o£ imagipation or of an overstrained eyesight I know not, she- seemed to melt as ii were ia the -brightness of the moonshine— to become so Indistinct that we could see the line of the horizon through! her topsails; and next it seemed as if her hull, her spar* and rigging were edged with bright o?W« matic hues. It is impossible for me to describe the blank astonishment, or rather the intense consternation, of our me* on the disappearance of this vessel, which | was the object tff so many hopes and wishes. Some time elapsed before the poor fellows rallied sufficiently to speak oa the subject; and meanwhile, there flashed upon my memory some strange and weird ©id Celtic tales, which a Highland 4>*jy at Eton was wont to tell us, off *"b±ps which in the days of Ossian tra-\ rsed the steep hills and the salt lochs <ui Morven with equal facility. "It Is a Bhip—or rather the representation of a veritable ship—which cannot t>e lar off the island, and is making for It at this moment," said Hislop, emphatically. "How far do yon think sire is, sir?" asked Hush Shute, mockingly. "Perhaps twenty miles—perhaps a hundred—it is impossible to say." So thoroughly were oar companions scared by the recent spectral appearance, which they connected in some way with ttie dreadful character of Antonio el Cubano, that they at once commenced with alacrity the preparations for ptrttJng to «ea. It mi.1.:' b« that somewhat of the professions- restlessness .of -sailors confirmed thciT resoluticm. They were already tired of their sojourn on the islana, and, Inspire* by the desire of reaching Tristan da Cunha. which is iuhabdfced by about eighty families of Portuguese, English and mulattces, among whom Hislop assured them they might linger long enough before they were taken off by a passing ship—quite as long as if they remained on the Ts3« of Alphonso—and where for subsiste&ce they would be forced to work as day laborers in the savannas and on th« highways. As for the Island of Diego Alvarez, our Scotch mate, wa*> seemed to know everything, assured them that It produced only moss and sea grass, and that if cast there they would die of starvation. Moreover, without chart or compass, how could they hope to steer with certainty in any direction? They ail might perish in detail by the most dreadful deaths In their opea boat, gasping with unquenched thirst under-the blue of a tropical sun. He said much more; bat they would listen to nothing save their own fears and restless impulses. I, too, was weary of the Island; and though feeling all the despondency that follows a severe disappointment on the disappearance of the illusory ship, I in no way shared the wild and Id-regulated wishes of the crew, pelled to follow their desptrate foTlunes. Hislop and I still lingered; so w* were told peremptorily that if we dll not come on board at once they would shove off without us. Thus compelled, we stepped in raost reluctantly and seated ourselves in the stern, and he assumed the tiller. The oars were run through the rowlocks, and Lambourne was about to shove off, when Probart, who had the bow oar, suddenly remembered that he had left his hatchet near our wigwam, and asked me to get it. I jumped ashore, and was proceeding along the beach for it. when suddenly I was confronted by Antonio, who from a thicket had been watching our operations and departure. His tawney skin—for he was naked to the waist—his ferocious aspect, his head of matted hair, his colossal strength and atrocious-character were not without a due effect upon the boat's crew at this crisis. "Shove off—shove off!" I heard several voices cry in the boat; "here com*s that dog of a Cubano." I struggled with Antonio; but he laughed loudly, and drew his pistol with fho air of one who would enforce obedience; besides, his eyes, which the tangled masses" of his hair overhung, were flashing with malignant flre, as all the slumbering devil was roused within him. The whole crew eaw this, and I perceived that Marc Hielop made an attempt to rise up and spring overboard to my succor; but as all their hopes of reaching Tristan da Cunha depended entirely upon his skill and knowledge of navigation, he was seized by Warren, Chute and others, roughly thrust down in the stern sheet3 and forcibly held there. I saw now that the fear and selfishness of the rest prevailed over all that Hislop, Lamborune and Carlton could urge; for, amid a storm of contending tongues, I perceived the cars dipping in the water again and again and flashing like silver blades in the moonlight as they were feathered; and the longboat, with all my companions, shot from the creek Into the bay and bore away to seaward about two in the morning, leaving me on tho beaeft alone—marooned with the Secdiah Cubano. Had not Antonio held me fast and menaced me with his pistol I would have sprang into the water, and, undeterred by the sharks that were forever gliding stealthily about tlie bay, would have swam after the boat; tor, desperate though the fortune of tU».vie who were there, I would rather hare shared it than live on the Island of Alptionso with such a companion, Hjs fierce, mocking laugh grated harshly in my ear, but I heeded him not, and continued to gaze after the boat and the lessening forms of those wtio fcaU abliMd1aeQr1nie7'not j?knout a fond and desperate hope that they would return for me. Every moment I expected to see her put about; but no! she hell steadily on till hull and sail and crew were blended Into one little dark spot, which ere long could scarcely be discerned on the moonlit moioing sea. Her course was trimtoefi northeast, for where they supposed the isle of Tristan da Cunha lay. She had caught a breeze and, before four o'clock in the morning, the last .oeatige of her had disappeared. Still I did not entirely despair! The idea of swimming to one of the adjacent isles occurred to me; but the straits between were full of foamir-g breakers and sharks; the rocks, moreover, were inaccessible, and wherever I might go Antonio could easily follow. The sun was now setting beyond the sea, and the shadow of a great mountain was falling eastward over the island as we began to descend from the bluff where I had lingered so long by one of the narrow and winding tracks made through the gorae by the wild goats. As it was alike dangerous and uncomfortable to sleep under the dews that descended after sunset, for two nights after the departure of the boat I was compelled to share the wigwam with Antonio, but did so with dread and loathing, and kept as far away from him as possible. His dreams, which were foil of oaths, ejaculations and frequently cries of "El apaiicion! El espectro!" came on him as of old; and as sleep to me became an impossibility I reserved to leave liim to his own devices. Certainly the island was large enough for us both. Moreover he had become so sparing of hrt ten charges of powder that he would not flre a single shot at either bird or goat or wild boar. I have since believed that he saved them with tW resolution of defending himself to the last, if Hislop ever returned to arrest him; and now, being lord and master •of the whole island, and of me, too, he exhibited a new phase of character. He became too lasy to procure food, and forced me to find it for him, under threats of shooting me. Ttast for two days after the departure of the boat, being totally incapable of catching one of the fleet goats alone, and being in no way disposed to encounter singly one of the wild boars, I had to climb the tteey rocks above the err as* tteat the tea birds' eggs. — 7 {ToT* ~ " JAPANESE SPANIELS. Mites That Are Worth Their Weight in Gold. The first duke of Marlborough prfcsented some of his Blenheims to the mikado of Japan of that period, and, curiou^y enough, the present duke's private secretary, Mr. Holdsworth, Informed the writer that he had recently seen some of the descendants of these dogs, which had been brought over lately from Japan. They were strangely altered, for they were dwarfed in Elze and far more like the Japanese spaniel in all save color. It is possible that the crossing of those Blenheims gent to the mikado with some of the na lve dogs has produced the Japanese spaniel so fashionable to-day. However i his may be, the Japanese spaniel is a dainty little mite, and is "the thing" to-day. His value increases as his weight decreases, provided, of course, that the points which fancy dictates are correct, and good specimens weighing aboi t two pounds will fetch £80 to £10J. A dog weighing less than three pounds Is a good one, and of this class Hon. Mrs. McLaren Morrison, who is very find of her Jape, has several lovely sovcimens. The head should be broad and well-rounded, the nose as short ts possible, eyes large and liquid, the carriage lively, the tail carried closely over the back in a fan-like curl, end the weight as little as possible. Cx)lor and markings form a great feature in the value of a Jap. The coa*. should be thick, soft as silk and long, pearly white, with black splotches. The ears and cheeks must be bfack, the black coming down to the tuse of the nose and going under the- eyes. The lower part of the cheek anl chin must be white, and a blaze of white must extend from the back of the head over the forehead to just at'ove the base of the no3e. In Japan tl:is blaze is termed the "V," and in the center cf this "V" on the top of the head should be a black spot of f bout the size of a shilling. In Japan these little atoms are carried in their owner's sleeves, but whether the eleeves have been enlarged to carry the dog or the latter dwarfed to fit the steeve, tradition does not say. Lady r 'obyn has an almost perfect specimen of this dainty dog. and the Countess of (V'arwlck, Lady Algernon Gordon-Lenox, Lady De Ramsey, and Lady Burton are also great lovers of this charming little pet.—Cassell's Magazine. KISSED THE BLARNEY STONE. Dr. Hushes Diplomatically Keeps IIU Flock from Hacksltding. "A soft answer turneth away wrath;" addenda, a soft speech removeth hats. When Dr. Matt S. Hughes entered his pulpjtin_ the_ IndeD_en.dejacfi ^xemifiL Methodist church yesterday morning the audience presented the usual flower garden appearance— due to the many beautiful hats of the female portion. "I want to begin by thanking the ladies," began the doctor, alter prayer, "for the very kind manner in which they observed my request in regard to head covering last Sabbath." At several points in the audience delicate fingers could be seen searching deftly about the borders of lovely picture hats for invisible hatpins. "It is a matter of great satisfaction," continued the pastor, **to one in my position to find such kind consideration for one another manifest kmong the members of his congregation," here and there a posey or a plume was seen to nod. indicating that a disturbance was going on near its foundation. "It is by these little sacrifices"—again from the' pulpit—" the sweetness of human nature is brought oat, and all are made to feel the true neighborly spirit with which we are endowed. Every woman is made lovable by her own thoughts for the pleasure of others"—all over the house there was a quiver among the colors, delicate and bright, as when the first puffs of a rising breeee reach the meadow grass, and the next instant each sprig of artificial flowers and bow of lace and ribbon seemed to grow momentarily taller and then move forward and sink oat of sight, and a flourish of soft hands followed, smoothing the stray threads of gold and auburn and brown that followed as though loth to part with the "dreams" in millinery that had pressed "them. The women of Dr. Hughes' congregation again sat uncovered before him.—Kansas City Journal. Skim Milk M*4e lTs«faL A new use has been discovered for milk, and fortunately it is skim milk that is this time in request. It is wanted tc make sizing, to be used by paper manufacturers in the glazing of paper of a fine quality. Heretofore, for the accomplishing of this purpose, a superior grade of glue with other ingredients has been used. It is claimed that a touch better and cheaper sixing can be obtained from skim milk- To prepare the milk it is put into a vat., treated with c hem teals, and utuil curd is formed, the curd being ttien washed, pressed and ground line., atter which it U put into a large frying kiln, where ii is dried in about 12 hours, and U put la bags rexdj tot "In Union There is Strength*" .

It is probably a safe prediction thaft all manufacturers of harvesting machinery will eventually adopt ball bearings wherever it is possible to use them. In 1891 the Deerlng Harvester Company of Chicago equipped all their •machines with hall and roller bearings, and the great popularity of the) idea led other manufacturers to experiment with several styles of roller bearings, hoping to apply them to their machines without appearing to Imitate the originators too closely. The application of ball bearings is more costly, but popular demand will yet force all competitors to follow the lead of tho Deering Company.

Of course, the first natund thought would be the inventor, but he is not entitled to all the praise. Those poor, hardworking men who put them up are entitled to a great share of thought and consideration. The work is not only hard and dangerous', but tiiere is something very complicated about this work. It is not every man that can do this work and do it as it should be done; many a man is discharged because-he does not take to the work handily and could never be or prove a useful man to the company. They must have men that are strong and active, quick to think and act in case of accident. Then this is not all; they must always be kept on the alert ready when the call comes no matter at what time, especially in the case; of a storm like the one recently when the wires are generally dam-' aged to some extent and they > must be fixed at once, business men must not be kept waiting, repairs must be. made at once. The writer was in Detroit last •winter when that terrible snow storm tore down so many wires j of both the telephone •and telegraph.

Wires were down in every shape and one touch with the bare hand was worth a man's life. The work in cities is a great deal more dangerous than the country, the poles are so much higher and so many things to contend with. The worry and anxiety of their friends is no small natter, I assure. The writer once saw a man part with his family at midnight to go to his work and she was distracted. She says "Oh, yon will be brought back to me dead some of these times, I know you will."' It is no wonder she felt this way. This work1 is much like other in one respect—one must work his way up in it. When the line first came to our little village of Pinckney, two of our boys hired to them to set posts and one of these boys was not yet 15 years old. But they have, with God's help and their own efforts, proved themselves worthy of their hire and today thej' hold quite good positions with a chance for promotion. The youngest one is stationed in a city on the central railroad with a salary of $600.00 Bad management keeps more people in poor circumstances than any other one cause. To be successful one must plan and look ahead .-so that when a favorable opportunity presents itself he is ready to take advantage of it.

It is not exorbitant i but it is steady work and sure i .pay, better than working out by .tho month on a farm and being out of employment winters. But 'telephoning, like a great many oilier things, has seen its best days in one respect. I t has met with competition and that has done its work. The writer does not pretend to be posted in all things connected with the telephone business, but as far as we do know, we can speak and we know enough of the hard dangerous work connected with it, and feel that the telephone men are worthy a great deal of praise and we think that a telephone mans friends and relatives should have the privelego of using the line without cost, the same as a railroad man. The law may have changed but we know a fewr years ago, a railroad man's friends were entitled to a pass for any distance for the asking and so we think it should be-with the telephone line. But we do not expect to see the day right away, if ever, when this will tak -piace. Spain's Greatest Need Mr. R. P.

The nearest place where drinks may lawfully be bought at retail is Lawrence, tea miles away. Local unions ofWoman's Christian Temperance Union in many of the states are celebrating their twenty-fifth anniversaries, as a great number have already reached their quarter-century mile post. The next national convention to be held at Seattle, Wash., will be Oct. 20-25, the commemoration also of twenty-five years as a national organization. The military commander of Paris, it is said, has ordered placards to be placed on all barracks in that city illustrating the evil effects of alcoiiol. These placards, which are hung everywhere^ show on one side the interior organs of a drunkard, and ou the other those of a temperate man. Beneath is a brief explanation of the pathological and moral effects of the abuse of alcohol. Rev. Dr. Madison C. Peters, in a sermon apropos the saloon, occasioned by Bishop Potter's oftquoted remark, said: "Socialistic agitators tell us that poverty is the cause of intemperance. The investigation of the slums of New York, Philadelphia, Baltimore and Chicago, by order of congress, under the supervision of the skilled government statistician, Hon. Carroll D. Wright, in 1894, showed the surprising fact that the earniugs of the occupants of the slums are quite up to the people at large. They prefer fewer rooms and more rum. The investigation shows that in the slums there are not only more lodgers to the buildings than elsewhere,, but also more saloons to the population than elsewhere. I n New York city there is an average of one saloon to every 200 persons; in its slums, one to every 129. In the cities above named slum families earn an average of from $16 to £21 per week, enough to keep them comfortablyiin better locations. Drink is the cause rather than the effect of poverty. Canon Farrar said: "What makes these slums so horrible? 1 answer with certainty and with a confidence of one who knows—drink! I tell the nation—with conviction founded city, for liquor."

(Copyright 1SP9 by Louis Klcpseh.V As me greater include the leas, eo does the circle of ftttur© joy around our entire world include the epicycle of our owa republic. Bold, exhllarajit, unique, divine imagery of the text. At the clqfe of a week In. which for three days our Nat tonal. Capitol was a pageant and all that grand review and bannered procession and National Anthems could do, celebrated peace, it may net be inapt to anticipate the time whe-n the Prince of Peace and the Heir of Universal Dominion shall take possession of this nation, and "thy l^nd shall be mr.rried." In discussing the final destiny of thlB nation, it makes all the difference in the world whether we are on the way to a funeral or a wedding. TTie Bible leaves no doubt on this subject. In pulpits and on platforms and in places of public concourse, I hear so many of the muffled drums of evil prophecy sounded, as though we were on the way to national interment, and beside Thebes and Babylon and Tyre in the cemetery of dead nations our republic was to be entombed, that I wish you to understand it is not to be obsequies, but nuptials; not mausoleum, but carpeted altar; not cypress, but orange blossoms; not requiem, but wedding march; for "thy land shall be married." I propose to name some of the suitors who are claiming the hand of this republic. This land is so fair, so beautiful, so affluent, that it has many suitors, and it will depend much upen. ycur advice whether this or that shall be accepted or rejected. . In the first place, I remark: There is a greedy, all-grasping monster who comes in as suitor seeking the fiand of this republic, and that mobster is known by the name of Monopoly. His sceptre is made out of the iron of the rail track and the wire of telegraphy. He does everything for his. own advantage and for the robbery ofthe people. Things went on from bad to worse until the three legislatures of Kew York, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania, for a long time Monopoly decid «d everything. If .Monopoly favor law, it passes; if Monopoly oppose a property without any cdaqmtG com- De^%a.t.lQA, I am. a t.hUX. and, .If.A..railway damages the property of the people without making any adequate compensation, that is a gigantic theft. What is Wrong on a small scale is wrong on a large scale. Monopoly in England has ground hundreds of thou sand* cf her best people into semistarvation, and iu Ireland has driven multitudinous tenants almost to mad ness, and in the United States proposes to take the wealth of sixty or seventy millions of people and put It ia a few wallets. A pretty long bow was <2rsi.wn the other day by the superlt-tcj^ent of education in a great dty, r-h^a he told Ft<?v. Dr. HuntiufctON thr.t a^aong the Children of school age in hh >irisdiction there wero'one hundred t- ousand who did not know of the existence o* such a book is the Bible. But it is probably no exaggeration to say that, taking the country through, there aro millions who know very little of the Book of books beyond its name. College presidents testify that a large per «ent of college students are lamentably Jgnorant of the Scriptures. Sundaytstaool instruction does not go far, and the only safeguard against the heathenization of a part of our population seems to lie in a reviving sense of parental responsibility—a re-DEthronf religion !ft the family. . What is rag time, &,id where did It Originate? Is a question frequently heard. The sudden popularity of "coon fiongs," which took a firm hold upon popular favor a few years ago, and deepite all predictions Uj the contrary, faave held It ever since, led to a variation in music known as "rag time." £ince then "rag time" has been an 'i aere is "rag time" muthere are "rag time" gongs; there bt-en a "rag time*' opera. There mng- ''professors of rag time," "instructors of rag time," and "specialists in rag time," but precisely what R Is, no two musical authorities agree,, ex- Otpt on tie point that it is tomethint very popular just now. One teacher of* -"raff tinre" here tells me that "rag time" takes IU initiative step from £pa&i*h music—or, rather, fnom Mex* fee, where It Is known under the heads law, it is rejected. Monopoly stand* in the railroad depot putting into his pockets tn one year two hundred millions of dollars in excess of all reasonable charges for Eervices. Monopoly holds in his one hand the steam power of locomotion, and in the other, the electricity of swift communication. Monopoly has the Republican party № one ree'et and the Derocratie party in LL,£ otfcur packet. Monopoly.. .decides nominations and elections-city elections, state elections, national elec^ tions. With bribe he secures the votes of legislators, giving them free passes, giving appointments to needy relatives to lucrative position, employing them as attorneys if they are lawyers, carrying their good3 15 per cent less if they are merchants, and if he find a case very stubborn as well as very importr. rt, pnts devrn before him the hard cash cf bribery. But Monopoly is rot to casly caught row as when during the term of Mr. Euchauau the legislative committee In one cf our states explored and exposed the ennner Jn svhich n cert-'n railway cm^n^y had obtained a duration of Monopoly.brazcn-faecd, Irqn-flngered, vulture-hearted Monopoly offers his hand to this republic. He stretches it out over the lakes and up the great railroads and over the telegraph pole3 of the continent, and says: "Here is my heart and hand; be mine forever." Let the millions of the people North, South, East and West forbid the bans of that marriage, forbid them at the ballot-bo::, forbid them on the platform, forbid them by great organizations, forbid them by the overwhelming sentiment of an outraged nation, forbid them by th6 protest of the Church of God, forbid them by prayer to high heaven. That Herod shall not have this Abigail. It Ehall not be to all-devouring Monopoly that his land Is to be married. Another suitor for the hand of this nation is Infidelity. When the midnight ruffians despoiled the grave of A. T. Stewart in St. Mark's churchyard, everybody was shocked; but Infidelity proposes something worse than that—tho rob-Ling of all the graves of Christendom of the hope of a resurrection. It proposes to chisel out from the tombstones of your Christian dead the words, "Asleep in Jesus," and substitute the words, "Obliteration—annihilation." Infidelity proposes to take the let:er from the world's Father, inviting the nations to virtue and happiness, and tear it up into fragments so small that you cannot read a word of it. It proposes to take the consolr.- tiqn from the broken-hearted, and the Eoothing pillow from the dying. Infidelity proposes to swear in the President of the United States, and the Supreme court, and tfce governors of state?, and the witnesses in the court room wi:h their right hand on Pnine's "Age of Reason," or Voltaire's "Philosophy of History." It proposes to take away from this country the Book that makes the difference between the United States and the Kingdom of Dahomey, between American civilization and Dornepian t-annlbftlism. If Infidelity could destroy the Scriptures, it public land. It was found out that thirteen of the senators of that state received 1175,000 among them, sixty members of the lower house of that state received between $5,000 and $10,000 each, the governor of that state received $50,000, his clerk received 16,000, the lieutenant governor received $10,000, all the clerks of the legislature received $5,000 each, while $50,000 were divided among the lobby agents. That thing on a larger or smaller scale is all the time going on in some of the states of the Union, but it is not so blundering as it used to be, and therefore not eo easily exposed or arrested. I tell you, that the overshadowing curse of the United States today Is Monopoly. He puts his hand upon every bushel of wheat, upon every sack of salt, upon every ton of coal, and every man, woman and child In the United States fee la the touch of that moneyed despotism. I rejoice that in twenty-four states of the union already anti-monopoly leagues have been established. God speed them In the •work of liberation. > I have nothing to say against capttal- 4sts; a man has a right to make nil the money he can make honestly—I have nothing to say against corporations as such; without then no great enterprise would be possible^ but what 1 4o my Is and names of Hatwara, Danza and BegttldlUa, being nothing but consecutive music, either in the treble or bass, followed by regular time In one hand.

The only impulse in. the right direction that this world ha* ever had has ccuio from tha Bible. It was tl:e mother of Roman law and of healthful jurisprudence. That book has been the mother of all reforms and ail charities— mother of English raagna ciiarta and American Declaration of Independence. Benjamin Franklin, holding that Holy Book in his hand, stood before an infidel club in Paris and read to them out of the prophecies of Habakkuk, and the Infidels, not knowing what bo&k it was, declared It was the best poeiry they had ever heard. That book brought George Washington down on his knees in the snow at Valley Forge, and led the dying Prince Albert to ask £crae cne to £inj "Rock of Arcs." - *W... .• •• • jf"^"*'; We have teen turning na important Ifet in the mighty tcme of our national history. One year at the gates of this continent over 500,000 emigrants arrived. I was told by the commissioners of emigration that the probability was that in that one year 600,000 emigrants would arrive at the different gates of commerce. Who were they? the paupers of Europe? No. At Kanpas City, I was told by a gemleman, who had opportunity for large investigation, that a great multitude had gone through there, averaging in worldly estate $800. I was told by an oflicer of the government, who had opportunity for authentic Investigation, that thousands and thousands had gone, averaging $1,000 in possession each. I var told by the commission of emigration that twenty families that had recently arrived brought $S5,0C0 with them. Mark you, families, But tramps. Additions to the national wealth, not subtractions therefrom. I saw some of them reading their Bibles and their hymn books, thanking God for his fcindness livheiplng them cross the sea. Some ot them had Christ in the steerage all ccrosg the waves, and they will have Christ in the /all trains which at five o'clock ev«ry afternoon start for the great West.

Arc yon afraid this continent ifi £3- icg'to be overcrowded with this population? Ah, that shows you have not been to California, that shows you have not been to Oregon, that shows that you have not been to Texas. A fishing binack today on Lake Ontario misht us well be afrajd of being crowded by other shipping before night as for any one of the next ten generations of Americans to be afraid of being over crowded by foreign populations In this country. The one state of Texas is far larger than all the Austrian empire, yet the Austrian empire supports 35,000,000 people. The one state of To.vas is larger than all France, and France supports 36,000,000 people. The one s:ate of Texas far surpasses In size the Germanic empire, yet the Germanic empire supports 41,000,000 people. I tell you the gr,eat want of the Western states is more population. While some people may stand at tha of the city saying: "S:ay back!" to foreign populations, I press out as far beyond those gates as I can press out beyond them and beckon to foreign nations, saying: "Come, come! all ye people who are honest and industrious and God-loving!" But say you: "I am EO afraid that they will bring their prejudices for foreign governments and plant them here." Absurd. They are sick of the governments that have oppressed them, and they want free America! Give them the great Gospel of welcome. Throw around them all Christian hospitalities. They will add their industry and hard-earned wages to this country, and then we will dedicate all to Christ, and "thy land shall be married." But where shall the marriage altar be? Let it be the Rocky Mountains, when, through artificial and mighty irrigation, all their topa shall be covered, as they will be, wilh vineyards and orchards and grain fields. Then let the Bostons and the New Yorks and the Charlestons of the Pacific coast come to the marriage altar on cue side, and then let the Bostons and the New Yorks and the Charlestons of the Atlantic coast come to the marriase altr.r on the other side, and t!.ere between them let this bride cf nations kneel; and then if the or?an of the loudest thundery that ever shook tae Sierra Nevadas on the one side, Or rroved the foundations cf the Alleghanies on the other side, should open full dicpason of wedding march, that ; organ ot thunders could not drown the voice of him who would take the hand of this bride of 'nations, saryingf, "as a bridegroom rejoiceth ovdr a bride, co thy God reioiceth over Chee."

V. ,1. liov. Pinjjreu hus called a b.alt on the legislature and demands retrenchment in appropriations. lie suggests that a cut of about $170,000 be made. The two institutions that have thus far been attacked by the governor are tho Jackson prison and the agricultural college. Thu total amount of bills introduced in the hous,e and senate, call-'' ing for appropriations for the year lSi)rJ und 19)0, including the amount of the general purpoae tax, is 90."80,- 121.35. This is nearly $5,000^00 in excess of the state tax for the years 18U7 and 189S, levied to meet expenses provided by law and appropriations of the legislature of 1SQ7, which state tax was 84,533,077.90 for the two years. This is doubtless the cause of the governor taking the position he has. The ghost of the beet sugar bounty appropriation made its appearance for a few minutes on the 20th when Rep. Ding-ley offered a resolution that it be the sense of the house that the bounty cease on December 31, ]903, the time when the present appropriation will run out. This was intended to be a notice to the beet sugar manufacturers that they need not expect an appropriation from the next legislature, bu6 the speaker ruled the resolution out of order, and a nice .fight was plucked in the bud. The house, by a vote of 27 ayes to V2 nay.s, refused to adopt the adjournment resolutions. The senate then passed another concurrent resolution fixing June 9 as therdate for suspending business and June ]7 as the date of final adjournment.

There hangs in the palace tower ia Japan a wonderful bell whose sweet tones can be heard for over a hundred miles, and in. the evening when the clear music is heard across the sunlit fields the stranger is told this legend: Long, long ago the emperor wrote to the maker of bells, bidding him cast a be.ll larger and more beautiful than any ever made bsfore. He bade him put into it go)d and silver £?d brass, th.at the tones might be i.voet ana at-ur, and that when hung in the palace tower its sound might be heard for a hundred miles. The maker of bells did as he was told; he put gold and silver and braes Into his great melting pot, but the metals would not mingle, and the bell was a failure. Again and again he tried, but in vain. Then the emperor was angry and seni saying that If the bell was not made at the nest trial the bell maker must die. The bell maker had a lovely (laughter, who was greatly distressed for her father. Wrappingjjer mantle about her, she went by night to the oracle to ask how she could save him, and the oracle answered that gold and brass would not mingle until the blood of a maiden was mixed with them in tLei • melting. Again the old man made ready to cast the bell; again all his efforts seamed useless, until his daughter, standing by his side, threw herself Into the midst of the molten metal. When the bell was finished it j was found to be more wonderful and perfect than £ny other ever made. But there is a sound in its thrilling tones that brings tears to the eyes of all and a pans to the heart, and the sound is the voice of the maiden whose bloo,! of sacrlttve gave to the bell its matchless sweetness. sympathy for his family.

Tbe last stitch was takes, and LHly wised her pale but beautiful face, and, clasping her hands together, said: "Oh, what a dreary |ir« for one so young! 'iVj* stitch, stitch, from mcgi- Jng until night, and then I can scarcely keep life In me. But, come what may, God has given me life, and with His help I win do my beat to take -tare of it." So Lilly arose, and, putting on hrr trapping "that had seen better days," etarted out in the bleak wind to tako 'ber sewing home, Lilly's father had been a wholesale Jfquor merchant, and some heavy Investment brought him to ruin; and, "Never mind that now, Lilly; not wishing to face his creditors, the will speak about that some other time; njext morning he was found dead In his tor the present you wUi remain whero •fhalr, and her mother, broken-hearted. ) TOU are." soon followed. And Lilly was left I Percy, who was coming In at tho alone to battle with the world. i 'Joor, and heard Lilly's remark and hl;i Lilly, who was very earnestly think- « mother's reply, said: fng aa she was crossing the street, did J "No, Miss Clare, we cannot sparo «ot heed the span of gray horses that I ilio sunshine from our home, now that «?ame tearing down the street until too j w have once got It here." late; she was knocked down, and the j And Lilly, finding all hearts ready carriage wheels had passed over her. ^to receive her, remained.

"No, the ia only bruised; and IJihlnk, With your motheT'8 good nursing, in about three weeks We1 will have her up again." And for the next three weeks every attention and care was given to Lilly Clare, so that she was able to sit up in a large easy chair and read a little. And very sweet and modest she looked, sitting there with her white wrapper, trimmed in a delicate blue. At least, go thought the hostess, who was sitting at a window a short distance from her. And Lilly, looking up and meeting the mild eyes of her kind friend fixed upon her, blushed, and said: "It has now been three weeks islnee you received me under your roof, anfl X think by to-morrow I will be able to return to my room and resume my sewing, which I quitted so suddenly." che' baa only fainted." A gentleman standing forward and requested the crowd to five way; then raising her in his arms he carried her into a drug store on the corner. H« laid her on a sofa and withdrew while Dr. Ilerlbert, who was in the store^id all in his power to bring her tack to life. Percy Monroe could not help thinking, while standing there, what a lovely picture she made, lying there so still *nd white, with her pale, golden ringlets falling around her like a halo, and one arm lying across her bosom, and her white hand, with its pink-tinted finger-nails, showed that she was of good , birth. But at last the doctor's 3(ind efforts were crowned with success, for Lilly opened her large blue eyes and, looking around, said faintly: "Where am I?" Then it suddenly flashed across ber mind, acd a shudder passed through her frame. The doctor, bending kindly ever bar, talking together, by stepped \ "And so, Percy, you intend to get married, do you?" "Yes, mother, if I can get the young lady's consent.-' " • ' Lilly, waited to hear no more; that enough to let her know that deep n in her heart she loved Percy; and Kinking down en her knees she prayed for strength to battle with that love; for was he not going to marry another? Then, hearing a step coming, she arose and bathed her face, just a& a knock was heard at her door. Opening the door, she found Mr*, Monroe there, with a message from her son, requesting her to come down to the sitting-room. And Lilly, walking as one in a trance, went down. Percy, standing at the window, looking out, did not seem to notice her at first.. And Lilly hesitated /nd «aid in a low tone: "Mr. Monroe, did you wish to see me?" reaching out both "Nev»r mind my child; you are bet- [hands said: **r n o w " • "Yes, Lilly, darling, I do wish to see Percy Monroe now stepped up to the . ) O U . T ^^ t o teU v o u h o w m u c h j i love you, and to ask you to be my ! wife." j I ?Jiink Lilly's answer must have j been very satisfactory, to judge from i tha happy., faces, that came into the ' room. A short time after there was a quiet wedding at borne, and peace and content ssem to hang like a curtain about Lilly and her btwbandr because they do not fcrget t« co grood unto one of the least. LILLY HESITATED doctor and asked him if he thought it would be safe to move the young lady. "My mother lives a few doors back, and perhaps it would be best to have her placed in a bed, where she can have better attention than can be given iier here." "Oh, yea," rerplied the doctor. "1 -was just going to ask the young lady •where her friends lived, so that we could have her moved Immediately." : Lilly looked up with a pitiful smile, taying: "I have no friends nor any relations living. I am entirely alone In the world, but my room is 19 Front street, and my name Is Lilly Clare." Dr. Herlbert then turned to Percy, saying: "I guess we will avail ourselves of your hospitality, Mr. Monroe. And have Miss Clare removed to your mother's, as it is too far, and might result very serious, to have her removed so f T aa Front street," Percy bowed and left the drug store, and retraced his steps to a fine stone .front bouse a few doors from the store. Ha met bin mother at the diningroom door and soon told his story, and Mrs. Monroe seeded no urging, and* Trlth all her motherly kindness pro- •ceeded at once to prepare a room for .young stranger. And when, after Jbalt an hour's delay, they brought ILTUy t o tkt door, they found every thing in readiness to receive her. The kind lady did not stop to think If sha wealthy? and Is the. of «ood "birth*? but only jtfelfc that she l i one A Nice Thing of Napoleon. On the day of Waterloo it was late before Napoleon left his quarters. Abou*. noon he came down from his quarters to take a horse. The equerry having «one off to snatch a hasty meal, the duty of helping the emperor on horsebark fell to a youth named Gudin. The lad had had no experience in this line, and gave the little Corslcan such a vigorous hoist that he nearly rolled off on the other side. Napoleon cfflied him a little fool and rode away in a fury, Gudin very "down In the mouth," following him some way behind. By-and-bye the youth saw the staff officers open to right and left, and Napoleon came riding back. Laying his hand frJndiy on the boy's shoulder he said, "My child, when you help a {flnan of my *ize to mount, do so gently." Flfty-3even years afterwards, as Gudln, now' growa a gray general, related the incident, his* eyes filled with tears at the memory of Napoleon's thinking at such a moment of the wounded feelings of the young tnan. He Kafir What He Wanted. He was a little darkey on a Virginia farm, says tie New Orleans Item, ana, of course, be was very fond of aweeia. There was a young lady also on the plantation who always took It upon herself to correct any mistiies of speech which she heard him make. Now, our little darky wanted some molasses one day up at the farmhouse kitchen, and he plainly said: "Please, ma'am, can I h:«e some 'lasses?** "Jonas/1 said she, severely, .

Plumb of the Indiana Experiment Station recently published a pamphlet on the Cheviot sheep, from which we make the following extracts: "About 300 milea north of London, forming the dividing line between England and Scotland, lios a group of mountains and hills. These are not rough, ragged, stone-capped mountains, such as are familiar to the New Englander, but rather smooth-faced instead, covered with grass and vegetation to their summits. These aro the Cheviot Hills. Amos* them a few rise to some height, of whieh the Cheviot at 2,676 feet, and Carter Fell, rising 1,815 feet, are the most prominent pointa. These hllJg mainly prevail in the nortfc part oi Northumberland county, England, and la Roxburg county, Scotland. Writing of this region In 1796, John NaJsmyth saya the whole Cheviot region is naked and open, and is now an unbroken continuation of sheep pastures, except such cultivation as is made for the accommodation of the flock. He tell« of 'beautiful, smooth, low, verdant hills,' 'clusters of fine, smooth kuolls, covered with sweetest verdure,' and of 'a great range of good pasture of a mixed nature.1 Yet, he aiso writes Of less fertile parts, 'which having lain long neglected, the surface water has preyed on the soil, destroyed the sweet verdure, and brought a growth of mosses in Its place,' and further, that *upou tlie aouuiwest of Cheviot, the plain top of tbe ridge is covered with a coat of peat earth, In some placea very coarse and miry,' producing various kinds of moorish herbage." Description of the Cheviot.—Howard H. Keim describes the sheep a3 follows: "A Cheviot ram, when arrived at maturity, weighs in good flesh at least 200 pounds live weight. He has a lively carriage, bright eyes and plenty of action. Hi* bead Is1 of medium length, broad between the eyes, well covered with short, fine white hair. His ears, nicely rounded and not too long, should rise erect from the head—low set or drooping ones are decided faults, but at the same time they should not be what are called "barolugged," that is, too near each., other, as that Indicates a narrow face, which generally denotes a narrow body. His nose and nostrils must be black, full and wide open; his necfc strong and not too long; his breast broad and open, with the legs set well apart. His ribs must be well sprung and carried well back toward the hook bones, as a loug weak back Is about the worst fault a Cheviot can have. His back must be broad and well covered with mutton; bis hind quarters full, straight and square; the tail well bung aBd nlcftly fHngori with wort. His legs ! Columbia Bevel-Gear Chainiess Bicycle. must stand squarely from the body (if bent hocka, either out or in, and especially the latter, are looked upon as weakness); the bone must be broad and flat, and all must be covered with short, hard, white hair. He will grow a fleece weighing twelve to fifteen pounds of fairly fine wool, densely grown and ttt equal quality; coarseness on the top* of the hocks is a decided blemish. The wool should meet th« hair at tbe ears and cheeks In a decided ruffle; bareness there or at the throat is Inadmissible, and it should grow nicely down to the hocks and knees. The breast and belly are also well covered. JTbe same description, when modified, will apply to the ewe al*o, which will weigh 150 pounds. Cheviots, when in a natural state; must grow finer wool, as hard feeding inclines to make it stronger; but It must be stiff and denjto and not too short. The perfect CherJot Is one which will live and thrive well on the hardest keep, and when taken to better ground prove itself equal to the occasion by growing larger and becoming easily fattened. The ewes are also great milkers and very prolific. Food That dosts Nothing.—-During the warmer season, when allowed to forage for themselves, each fowl gathers Beveral ounces of meat daily. When the supply of grasshoppers, bugs, flies and worms faiU, it may be furnished from the table, the scrap pot or the market Green food may be furnished in cabbage, vegetables, apples or cut clover. A warm breakfast should be given on cold days and there should be no lack in the supply of drink.

It isn't as easy as it used to be, when all he had to day was to take the oath of allegiance and get the ward bOM to vouch for him, says the Philadelphia Record. Things have changed, and have gone to the opposite extreme. Now applicants have to pass a civil service examination of considerable pretensions. Many of the questions would worry the lawyers who accompany the applicants. For instance, a question asked recently was: "Where must revenue bills originate, and why?" If the man answers: "In congress," he is lost; but if he replies: "In the house of representatives, because the people cannot be taxed except by their representatives," he will be passed with honors. Irish wit has more than once saved an applicant A judge asked a man a few weeks ago: "What does the president have to do with the bills sent to him by congress?" The man meditated for a moment, and then replied: "Pay them, like any other honest man." The banner picnic of the season was held on the beautiful lawn of H. B. Gardner on Friday last.

The spring wheat area is reported at J9.?23,000 acres, or 100,000 acres larger than last year, and the average condition D1.9, against 9^ 1 a year ago.

Then, darting past, I •ectrred my hatchet, and rendered furious by all that had occurred, and br the imminent ^danger which menaced me, a light seemed to flash before icy «y«« 1 trembled with rage, r-nd felt us if Imbued with supernatural strength.

This new object changed at once the terrible current of <fiie Cuban'* ideas.

' CHAPTER. XXXIV, The Homewmrd Voyag*. longer a lonely maroon, but on the kick, road to borne and Old England. no We were rescued by a ship hailed by Hislop and the others. We had several days of the finest tropical weather; and they passed unmarked by a greater Incident than seeing a shoal of dolphins, sparkling as they surged through the brine; the silvery flying fish leap from one green watery slope to another, while the dark, crooked fin of the stealthy shark glided as usual in the trough of the sea between; a piece of weedy drljttwood with Mother Cary's chickens or albatrosses, floating near it, or perhaps at the horizon the topsails of a vessel hull-down, appearing for a. time like white or dusky specks,according to the position of t&« sun. The captain of the San Ildefonso perceiving that Marc Hislop and I were great friends kindly placed us in the same watch. As for Antonio the Cubano, we never went near him if we could help it. He was placed In the cable tier, and for more complete security, In the bilboes, which are iron shackles that confine the feet. However, we dally heard from the surgeon and from Fra Anselmo, who was somewhat skilled In surgery, and who undertook his cure bodily and mentally, that the wound under the right armpit had proved slight, through the lungs had escaped narrowly, but that the other in the' breast had penetrated the fleshy portion' of the heart, and was a yery dangerous one. fli4 friar added that "the Cubano was not one of those men^who are easily Killed, and th.ua, he. would, recover rapidly." . . ,,. 4 ;,.-.., We aiso heard, that Anjtpnlo latjairal^ cared for, as. He had discovered qne or, two friends among the crew, susa.- as the seajnan Benito Ojeda, a most vUlainous. looking, beejle, browed and squat little Catalonian, who seemed la be the worst character on board, and waB''engaigcal"*lnf •perrye^tuaT cfftarrels. A; few days after crossing,fhe tropic of CaoCer, on a lovely afternoon, we again saw th« peak of Teneriffe Ugh1 ed up fcy the western sunshine and rising like a cone of red flaaie from the blue sea. The cldUds seemed to rise with It, Rnd er* lotfgwe saw its base spreading* ouS fterieath them. *Tehriyreef'a'gaJn!" I heard old torn Lambonrne muttering, as he leaned over the lee bow, with a short pipe In his mouth. "HABh my wig! I have hatl a shell ecvign of Tennyreef. before this!" " " i Manuel Gautier and Hislop now came with a party of seamen to get the anctors off the forecastle to her bows. Tsia was no light task, the reader may be assured, for they wer." each about forty-flve hundred weight; and now the ponderous cables rattled along the deck as they WWJ bent to the iron rings. We approached thts singular island from a point that was new to me; but still its great and most familiar features were the same as when I first saw them from the deck ol the Eugenie. Estremera now reminded us that when at Teneriffe we should not fail to visit the two great sights of the island —the Valley of the Diamond and the old Dragon tree of Caora. The wind was fresh and fair, but felt light after sunset; and when the • high land of the Grand Canary _wa& on our starboard beam it almost died away. As we crept on we saw the lighthouse at the base of La Montana Rexo, which in the warm sunset seemed to have turned into blood or port wine, so deeply crimson was the glow, that lingered on the clouds and'on the shore; and then the vast peak—save where girdled in >midair 'fry a light floating, vapor—seemed all of a deep violet trnt dotted at its base-by thewhite walls of houses, or of sugar mills and fcy groves of cocoa and rosewood trees. Darkness was Boon there," bUt still the sunset lingered in rays of fire upon the mighty peak of Adam, on which the eye never tired of gazing. By midnight we were abreast of it, and all was darkness at last save where the millions of start were sparkling in the wide bluecdeme of the **y. HJslop and I were m tker Meritingwatefa when the isip arrive* off the motttfc. of. the harbor tit Baa.ta.Crui— that pretty town which Httmboldt termed the most beautiful between Spain and the Indies. A flash that broke the darkness.with a light puff of smoke float}** away" from the old castle. walla, trtfiaated the morning gun, and that sfewji was visible. It teemed as If it were bat yeiterday wfcen the Eugenia and te* ffrlg had worked out of the same harbor together, in the same species of dull twilight, and that all which had passed since that time had been a dream. We beat tn with the tree so ahead. The light of another day was rapidly descending from the summit of the peak, and already that green girdle named the Region of Laurels was shining In the sunbeam; so ere long we saw the windows of the custom house, which stands above the long mole, and all the shaded lattices of tn* terraced streets of Santa Cruz, pirttertng in gold and purple sheen. The anchors were ready to be let go; the chain cables were ranged upon deck in long coils that ran fore and aft; xre tacked repeatedly, and each time the tacks beeame shorter and more frequent. "Ready about! Presto! down irltb the helm—let fly the head-sheet*!" were the orders heard Incessantly from Estremera and Manuel Gautier. The yards slewed around sharply and the canvas flapped with a sound like the cracking of musketry; at la***, the anchor was let go about a half mile from the shore in thirty fathoms of water and the ship swung round head to wind as her courses were brailed up, and the men hurried aloft to hand the topsails and topgallant sails; so she was soon denuded of her canvas. When the anchor plunged int? the frothy water, making a thousand concentric ripples run from the ship; and when I felt, by the instant strain upon the cable, that she had firm hold of the ground, my heart swelled,with unalloyed happiness; for to be la Tenerlffe was to be far on the watery high road to my home* ».• Santa Cruz being thr capital of these Isles, Is the residence of the cap taingeneral of the Oejnartes, the seat of the supreme court eC law, and cf all the consuls and ooe&mtostries of foreign powers, whose various flags, when displayed upoe> their houses, make the handsome streets 48 gay in aspect as tbe haatoor, which is always crowded by the stripping of every nation. <a> cvsioea house boat, with the Spanish1 emign floating at the stern, came pMmptty off with an official, a dandled creole In uniform, with a sombrero on hlst-evly head, a saber at his side, ami" a cigar in his mouth. To him Capt. Estremera made a fnll report of the->mntiny which had broken out in his ship when off the African coast, ami the stern mode of its suppression. Hence, in two "hour*' after, we had the satisfaction of s*etag- Antonro el Cttfcano, BenitoOjetfa, the old tindal of the Lascars, and eighter other rascals, taken off to the castle of Santa Cruz in a large open boat, guarded by twelve Spanish soldiers, in charge of a lieutenant, Don Lute Pineda. I o*a still recall the glance of impotent and baffled malignity that Antonio bestowed am us as he went down the ship's side. It combined all the worst emotions of his angry heart,and somewhat reminded me of his face In that terrible moment when he swung at the M&d of the studding sailboom, with despair In his clutch and death in his hczrt. We watched the boat till It reached the long stone mole, and then we saw the SU«4 bayonets of the escort flashins, aft t&s whole party ascended the great stair toward the custom house, and surrounded .by a mob of those nautical idlers who usually make a pier their lounge, disappear in the interior of the town, as they marched toward the castle. Two episodes more will close the story of Antonio—Ills trial and punishment CHAPTTBXXXV. The Last of Aatanio El Cuban*-. The trial came on rn a couple of days after, and proceeded with a celerity unknown in Eaglaafl <or Scotland either. We were all examined, and previously were sworn, mot on a Bible, but over two swdfrd triads* held In the form of a cross—for euch is the old chlvalric custom in a Spanish court of law. Wkhont hesitation the judges fonnd Antonio guilty; he was sentenced to die by the garotte, and heard his doom with apparent apathy. The tindal of the Laseen was released, as It would fi:?rwvr that he had acted under compulsion; but Benlto Ojedo and eight other Spanish seamen were sentenced to work in the fortifications or on the highways for ten years, in chains, as felonu or galley slaves. A few days later we found * great crowd of colonists, citizens* mulaUoes, Creoles and negroes, all in motley and gaudily striped linen Jacket* and trousers, assembled in the Plaza, where s guard of Spanish infantry, with muskets shouldered and bayonets fixed, kept back the people in the form of a hollow square about a raised wooden, platform, which was covered with black cloth and whereon Was placed the garotte. "What Is all this about?** we asked. "It is for the execution of Antonio, a Cuban pirate, who is to die by farpite, replied a soldier. (To be continued.) STATE LEGISLATURE.

W. Stone, of Lansing, to return the. &•.({ taken at Petersburs, Va., to the Petewbura Gray* at Peterabunf. Va.. with the compliments of the house and senate, this fla* having1 been captured AprilU, isOV, by the l&tMichigan nhurpMhooters. If the legislation becomes a law by which lower peninsula farmers draw one to two millions of dollars annually from the state treasury on suj?ar bounties, and a specific tax of nearly 82,000.000 is placed on the upper peninsula copper and iron mines, the business men in the state north of the Straits of Mackinaw will boycott all lower peniasnla wholesalers and manufacturers in favor of dealers in Chicago, Milwaukee, St. Paul, Minneapolis and Duluth. The St. Clair flats bill has been passed by the house. The bill as passed provides that the price of the lands is to be computed by reference to frontage on natural, navigable channels at the following rates: On South Channel, 81 per foot; North Channel, 50 cents; Middle and Snibosa Channels, 25 cents; and all interior channels at such prices as the land commissioner shall from time to time determine. Gov. PingTee has signed three important measures. One of these is the Gtttam -homestead bill, under which it is expected many thousands of acres of land will be opened for settlement in this state; one for the punishment for the sale of adulterous milk and one to require horseshoers in cities of more' than 10,QOO inhabitants to take out a license. Uqy, pingree has &eht a message to the legislature requesting that the beet sugar bouaty bill be recalled. In the message he sets forth his reasons for opposing such legislation, which in substance is that he is against taxing all the people for the benefit of a few. The passage of the Helme single tax for municipal improvements by the senate the other day has alarmed many <rf the prominent real estate men Tn Detroit and elsewhere, and a campaign is already under way to make sure that the bill is defeated in the house.

Steel Wool There is now an established demand for steel wool, and its manufacture is in successful operation in this country— in fact, in this city. The process by which it has heretofore been produced, as described by us a couple of years ago, consisted in clamping together a number of circular disks of thin steel, slowly revolving them, and then with a sharp-edged flat tool taking off thin shavings from the edges of the disks until they were all converted into "wool." The improved process, lately patented, consists In winding a long sheet ot thin sheet steel into a tight roll, and then using a flat cutter to shave the "wool" from the end ol the roll. This latter process is evidently the cheaper, involving both less labor and less waste of material.— American Machinist.

In about a year we will Eend some one to find the man who has set out to find Andre. An exchange says Rudyard Kipling U growing heavier. Perhaps he should write lighter stuff. The man who thinks funny things without expressing them is the worst kind of a pessimist. Occasionally a man knows a good thing when he gees it, but most men are too dignified to recognize it.

The question of capital and labor 4s not- troublesome in the " "Philippines, They have plenty of capitals-• over there, but not much lab'or. • The fact that it was neither Friday nor the 13th of the month when the Paris went ashore shows that superstitions do net always work both way's, It seems that General Funston, w declines political honors, probably conceals an overweening ambition to be allowed to continue to do something useful. The city of Debir was the Boston of antlquity^-a great place for brain and books. Caleb wanted it, and he offered his daughter Achsah as a prize to any one who would capture that city. It was a- strange Ihirig for Caleb to do; and yet the man that could take the city would have, at any rate, iwo elements of manhood—bravery and patriotism. With Caleb's daughter as a prize to fight for, Gen. Othniel rode into the battle. The gates pf DebVr were thundered into the dust, and the city of books lay at the fett of the conquerors. The work done, Othniel comes back to claim his bride. Having conquered the city, it is no great job for him to conquer the girl's heart: for however faint-hearted a. woman herself may be, she ajways loves, courage in a man. I never saw an exception to that. The wedding festivity having gone by Othniel and Achsah are about to go to their new home. However loudly the cymbals may clash and the laughter ring, parents are always sad when a fondly cherished daughter goes off to stay; and Achsah, the daughter ot Caleb, knows that now is the time to ask almost anything she wants of her father. It seems that Caleb, the good old man, had given as a wedding present to his daughter a piece of land that was mountainous, and sloping southward toward the des» erts of Arabia, swept with some very hot winds. It was called "a south land." But Achsah wants an addition of property; she wants a piece of land that is well wsn&red and' fertile. ' Now it is no wond^ that Caleb, standing amid the bridal party, his eyes so full of tears because she was going away that he could hATdly see her at all, gives her more than she asks. She said to him, "Thou hast gWeii me a south land; give me also springs cf water." And he gave her the upper springs and the nether springs. What a suggestive passagef The fact is, that as Caleb/the father, gave Achsah, the daughter, a south land. St> God gives to us hltf world. I art! Very thankful he has given It to us. But I am like Achsah In the fact that I want a larger portion.' Trees arid flowers and grass and blue skies are4 very well in taeir places; but he who has nothing but this world for a portion has no portion at all. It is a mountainous land, sloping off toward the desert of sorrow, swept by fiery siroccos; it Is "a south land," a poor portion for any man that tries to put his trust in the poorest men I have ever known have been those ot great fortune. A man of small means may he. put in great business straits, but the ghastliest of all embarrassments is that of the naa who has large estates.

It te not, however, necessarily a blow to general and (rational conservatism, to ths> spirit which conserves the essential, the good >and the permanent and welcomes the. changes necessitated by the march of ;intellectual achievement and moral improvement. .

[tt Whdt b"«; b7?n j'O'.!!* C"per!,*~??? What has bvjen the ex^£rleu:e of every man-', of every woman that has tried this world for a portion? Queen Elizabeth, amidst the surroundings of pomp, is unhappy because the painter sketches too minutely the wrinkles on her face, and she indignantly cries out: "You must strike off my likeness without any shadows!" Hogarth, at the very height of his artistic triumph, is stung almost to death with chagrin because the painting he had dedicated to the king does not seem to be acceptable, for George II. cried out: "Who is this, Hogarth? Take his trumpery out of my presence!" Brinsley Sheridan thrilled the earth with his eloquence, but had for his last words, "I am absolutely undone." Walter Scott, fumbling around the inkstand, trying to write, says to his daughter: "Oh, take me back to my room; there is no rest for Sir Walter but In the grave." Stephen- Offa-rd, the wealthiest man in his day, or, at any rate, only second in wealth, says: "I live the life of a galley slave; when 2 rise in the morning my one effort Is to work so hard that I can sleep when it gets to be night." Charles Lamb, applauded of all the world, In tha very midst of his literary triumph eays: "Do you remember, Bridget, when we used to laugh from the shilling gallery at the play? There are now no good plays to laugh at from the boxes." But why go so far as that? Pick me out ten successful worldlings— without any religion, and you .know what I mean by successful worldlings—plcic me out ten successful worldlings, and you cannot find more than one that looks happy.' Care drags him across the bridge; care drags him back. Take your stand at 2 o'clock at the corner of Nassau and Wai! streets, or at the corner of Canal street and Broadway, and see the agonized physiognomies. Ymtr bankers, your insurance men, yoor importers., 7our wholesalers, and your retailers-, as a class—as a class, are they happy? No. Care dogs their steps; and, making no appeal to God for help or comfort, thejr are toesed every whither. How has H been with you, my hearer? Are you more contented in the house they have only a hundred thousand left. On Bowling Green, New York, there is a house where Talleyrand used to go. He was a favored man. All the world knew him, and he had wealth almost unlimited; yet at the close of his life he says: "Behohi, eightythree years have passed without any practical result, save fatigue of body and fatigue of mind, great discouragement for the future and great disgust for the past." Oh, my friends, this is "a south land," and It slopes off toward deserts of sorrows; and the prayer which Achsah made to her father Caleb we make this day to our Father God: "Thou hast given me a south lend; give me also springs of water. And he gave them the upper springs and the nether springs." Blessed be God! We have more advantage given us than we can really appreciate. We have spiritual blessings offered to us In this world which I shall call the nether springs, and glories in the world to come which I shall call the upper springs. Where shall I find words enough threaded with llgnt to set forth the pleasure of religion? David, unable to describe it In words, played it on a harp. Mrs. Hemane, pot finding enough power in prose, sings ^that praise in canto. Christopher Wren, unable to describe it in language, sprung it Into the arches of St. Paul's. JohnBUhyan, unable to present it in ordinary phraseology, takes all the fascination of allegory. Handel, with ordinary music unable to reach tbe height of the theme, rounds It up tn an oratorio. Oh, there is no life on earth so happy as a really Christian life. -I do not mean a sham Christian life, but a real Chrlstlafh life. Where there is a thorn there is a whole garland of roses. Where there is one groan there are three- dojologteB. Where there' Is one day of clond' there la a whole season of sunshine.

Oh, these nether springs of comfort! They are perennial. The foundation of God standeth sure having this seal, "The Lord knoweth them that are His." "The mountains shall depart and the hills be removed, but My kindness shall not depart from thee; neither shall the covenant of my peace be removed; saith the-lord, who hath mercy upon them." Oh, cluster of diamonds set In burnished gold! Oh, nether springs of comfort bursting through all the valleys of trial and tribulation! When you see, you otth<j world, what satisfaction there la on earth in religion, do you not thirst after it as the daughter of Caleb thirsted after the water springs? It is no stagnant pond; scummed over with malaria, bsTt springs of water leaping from the Rock of Ages! Take up one cup of that spring water, and across the top of the chalice will float the delicate shadows of the heavenly wall, the yellow jasper, the green of emerald, the blue of sardonyx, the fire of jacinth. I wish I could make you understand the Joy religion is to some of'Us. It makes a man happy while he -lives, and glad when he dies. With two feet upon a chair and bursting with dropsies, I heard aa old man in the poorhouse cry out: "Bless the Lord* oh, my soul!" I looked around and said: "What has this man got to UanX God for?" It makes the lame maa leap like the hart, the dumb sing. They say that the old puritan religion. K a.

"Flowers, five cents a bunch!" This cry came from the pale, tremulous Ups of a maiden of 18 summers. It was on a crowded city street, and the heat waa sofntense that people were lousing t» be once mom In the aacliuwn of their homes. MI will take ten bunches," said a porite voice In her ear. She turned with a start. Ten bunches! She had not sold .A, bunch *oday. With deft Angers? she selected the freshest and best bunches., and with a look of gratitude handed Him the flowers. Erla Seymons was a lovely girl, who did ail in her power «to help her feeble mother. Some days she sold flowers. As Harold Nelson and the young lady with htm, (who was his sister) went on their way Nena remarked: "What a beautiful girl! What a pity she has to sell flowers on the street!" Harold in his heart echoed her word*. This was not the first time he had seen Erla Seymons. And Erla forgot to cry, "Flowers, five cents a bunch!" She waa standing idle, her brown eyes fixed on vacancy, thinking of what or whom? Thinking, unconsciously, of the young man whom she thought so kind. That night in the library of the elegant mansion of the Nelsons Nena remarked: "Harold and I saw such a lovely girl; he waa just smitten, and on a flower girl, too." "Nena, don't talk in riddles, but tell me about it," said her mother, gentty. Then Nena, in her light-hearted fashion, related their experience of the morning. All th»ou«h this recital the Hon. Frederick Nelson listened intently, but said nothing; he had also seen Erla, the flowergirl, and remembered her. The next day, as he was about to bail a car, his ear caught the sound of a voice saying, "flowers, five cenU a buach." "That Is the girl." be muttered, "aae is the picture Qf Nells." Why Is this man talking in this manner? We shall have to turn back and read the past pages of the history of the present Hon. Frederick Years ago at college, he had for a room-mate a young man about his own age, named Leroy Seymons. Leroy waa a youth of steady habits and good character. They soon became fast friends and college "FL0WER3, FIVE CENTS A BUNCH. " But now something happened to cause a drifting apart of the two.

When Frederick waa told by Leroy that he had been accepts* the blow was hard, and nearly attuned him. Then, as he fully realise*1 that Nells, vfcom he loved nigh onto jnadneas. loved Leroy, his grief and rage knew no bounds. He accused Leroy of treachery, saying he had not given him fair play. He ended by calling him a traitor to the holy bonds of friendship and say- Ing he never wished to see his face again. Stunned by such treatment, Leroy uttered not a word. but. collect- Ing his things* left the room. From that day to this Frederick Nelson and Leroy Seymons had not looked into eaca other's faces. Shortly After Frederick read of the marriage of Leroy and Nella. All this time Leroy and his young wife were ltving happily together in A dtstamt city. One year, two years, passed. And u« xovple we*s blessed with A beautiful «tde daughter, whom they named BrlA. She was the pride of their hearts: all thefr thoughts and plant were for her atom. Oae day a cruel blow fell upon the bead of Nella. Leroy had beta kllledi O, the terrible anguish! But she would be brave for her baby girl's sake. After their money WAS goae~'Ketia MyecTaog* cheap rooms her daughter for support, as her fragile health prevented her from iveu thia mefc^t bf support. Meanwhile Frederick had married a refined girl named Lottie Ashley, who, after the first jHrlef and disappointment passed away, he loved. His one desire now was to see his old friend again and ask his forgiveness. Instead of boarding the car he retraced his steps and walked to where Erla was standing. "I will take the whole basket/' he said In a businesslike tone. Erla could have fallen at his feet for gratitude. She bad sold only two bunches all this morning, and now to sell the whole basket, and mamma so much needed some little luxury, and now she would have it; Happy tears fillftd her lustrous eyes, and she «ald in a tremulous voice: "0, glr, you are so kind!" Not yet sure as to the correctness of the deal which had taken such possession of him, he asked In a low voice, in which the eagerness was hidden: "What Is. your name?" "My name is Ella Seymons. sir." This was the chance he had coveted: it was his time. "Erla Seymons!" he ejaculated In well-feigned surprise; "I used to know a man by *tho name of Leroy Seymons." "That was my own dear father," replied Erla in a choking voice. "Where Is he now?" he asked in excitement which he could not suppress. "He is dead, sir." This was indse* hard when he thought himself so near his desire. "And your mother?** be ask 3d. with hesitation. "She is feeblo." • • Two y«ars have passed.

Bala, Hail and 8aow Are Imitate*. A curious part of stage illusion 13 that which may be comprehended under the term theatrical meteorology. Whatever may be the state of the weather outside, the stsge manager within can bring about jnajn and hail, wind, or a thunderstorm' at will, and the illusion is so complete a» to sometimes make nervous numbers of the —•<«'•-- 9 i^erelbly shudder. Hail and rain are represented by a closed wooden cylinder about six feet lo**. wh'ch. is obstructed inside by various cro33 pieces, a quart of peas CDmpleting the arrangement. By turning this cylinder first one, way up and then the other the peas rattle through It with close Imitation to the sound cf heavy rain on a roof. The wind arrangement consists of a wheel a boot two feet in diameter, get in a frame like that of a grindstone, Th*a wheel is furnished with ribg on its periphery somewhat like the float3 of a waterwheel, and drawn tightly over the ribs is a piece of thick silk. When the wheel is turned the ribs rub against the silk, and-by turning the handle first quickly and then slowly, a very good imitation cf the soughing of the wind is produced. Lightning may easily be Imitated by using chemical or electrical means, and the U3ual mode of producing thunder is by shaking a large s^?"?! of fleziMe iron plr.t*. So^ t theaters have, hov.aver, a far mora elaborate and effective thunder arrangement, which is used as an auxiliary to the sheet of iron when a storm is supposed to reach its height.

Incident ot a Department Btos*—A Bit of Basuaa Nato*a> It was in one of the big department stores, says the Washington Post. Two women stood near each other before a aoucter, where the belongings of very little children are sold. Both looked with wistful yet widely different expressions at the tiny garments displayed. The one woman asked to be shown knitted undervests for a baby. The saleswoman drew out a box and took from It some absurdly small garments, soft, creamy, fleecy, the most delightful combination of sUk and wool. The woman—a young woman she was. almost a girl—took them in faer hands with evident delight "How much are they?" she asked. The saleswoman named a price that was twice the size of the tiny shirts. "Apiece?" asked the would-be customer, timidly. "Yes." answered the saleswoman. The customer put down the little garments. She looked tired, and weak and bitterly disappointed, it's heartbreaking sot to be able to buy what you want for your baby. "Show me something—something cheaper," she said swallowing a lump Is her throat The other wounua, who had been looking into the showcase, had seen It all. She spoke to the saleswoman brusquely. "I cant wait any longer," she said. T e l l me tbe price of that bonnet ovar there." The saleswoman hurried to obey.

He calls it typo-radiography. One way to prepare the original copy is to print the text with Adhesive ink, and then dust metallic powder over it, which will remain only on the printed characters. Tbe copy is next bound up with about fifty thicknesses of sensitised paper and subjected to the action of the Roentgen tube.

The crop bulletin, recently issued, *a,ys that warmer temperatures and Ample rainfall have generally been very beneficial to all vegetation, but Have retarded farm work. Oats, early potatoes and garden truck have made tfood progress and are in good condition. Meadows have been greatly improved; many old meadows are light %nd indicate a short yield of hay, but oew meadows are generally heavy. Wheat is heading and its condition is better than for some weeks past, but it still indicates a very light yield. Heavy rains have washed out some Tsorn, making replanting necessary, but generally corn has made fine pro- Sjress and shows a healthy stand; fields are getting weddy and grassy. Sugar beets made good progress in most -counties, and thinning and cultivation Das begun. Later potato planting is still in progress. Early potatoes are up, growing nicely, and so far have not been much affected by the potato tmgft. Pasturage is excellent^ Strawberries are ripening* fast and are abundant, although somewhat dirty.

Labor Commissioner Cox. who is fliief factory inspector for the state, jays that in the inspection of the first «s,200 Michigan factoiies, from January 1, 1899, to June 1, 1891), there were -Tound 77 new factories which had been ouilt since last inspection.

At the same ratio -he other 19 would have invested 8201.- £33, making an aggregate for the 77 factories of $815,524. The 77 factories were employing 752 males and 319 females, a total of 1,071 employes, or an average of 14 employes for each factory. The aggregate wages paid the employes was fl.424.43 per day, or a .nonthly wage of $37,035,18.

She was small as well aa young-rmight be described, la. fact, as petite. She was undeniably shabby. Her hat might have cost a shilling, and was trimmed with a plain bow of ribbon. Her dress was of cheap dark-colored cotton, and considerably the worse for wear. Her gloves were cotton, too; but her collar was as whitens snow, and her skin as fresh and clear as If she had sever been within reach of London smoke. As the raised a pair of large, dark eyes to those of the junior partner a sudden change swept over his face— a fleeting expression, such as a man might wear to whom, In the midst of comfort and luxury, came a disagreeable reminder of the existence of poverty and want. The next moment hewas offering her a seat and Inquiring politely in what way he could serve her. The lady client sat down. Mr. Martineau's own seat was placed so that his back was to the light; it suited him better to observe than to be observed. His visitor compressed her pretty lips in a strong effort to be solemn, and demanded: "Are you Mr. Martineau?" "I am—entirely at your service!'* M,' "Mr. Leroy Is away?" "In Scotland." "I am very sorry for that," she said earnestly. "So am I, If it gives you Inconvenience," asserted Mr. Martineau; "but I am his partner—can't I do something for you? I will endeavor to compensate for lack of capacity by extra diligence." "You must know," she said aftej; another short pause, during whlc^h she. seemed to be making up her mind, "It is a very difllcult ta,sk that I have to pet you.

"Smiles was a fool when be said she was nothing to look at," inwardiy commented Mr. Martineau. "I never saw such a pretty mouth in my life, —oud he added: "I shall be only too grateful if you will so far honor me." "It will take some tim*," <*he said. doubtfully; "and suppose, after all, I have troubled you for nothing?" "How could that be?" "Well," she answered, blusWng and laughing, "it Is best to be quite frank, I'll tell you what I mean. I have been saving up money for a long time for this purpose, and supposing, when I have done my story, you find that to do what I want you to do will coat more money than I have to Bpend, will you tell me so, please? I know so little about the law, and so form." , "Certainly I will tell you; but If you merely want a will searched for, I can assure you " "I keep on telling j'cu that you don't understand!" she' cried, Impatiently. "Let me tell you all about it." "I am all attention; but, before you commence, would it greatly incunvenience you totell me who you at present imagine yourself to be, or, if you have, no ideas upon the subject, under what title do you choose at present to be known?" "Yes," she rejoined, "I will tell you what I am called—Marguerite Lilbourne; but whether that is my real name or not I cannot tell you. I do • riot think it Is?" "Why not?" he asked, with a sudden sfah. "I will tell you—I am just gokvg to begin." "Thanks. All I have to suggest is that you begin at the beginning, and that you don't attempt to tell me -nore than one thing at a time. I know you will excuse me; but even ladies are mortal, and have their besetting Sins, among which is usually the total Inability to tell a-story. Try to prove yourself an exception to the rule." The lady client was offended. She took up her umbrella and rose. "I am a novice in the art of narration," she said, with a haughtiness whteb^be did not expect from her, "and I might irritate your high sti~ung nerv«8.

"If ycu won't «m«!der nvr curiosity impertinent," Eaid Mr. Martineau, with Infinite 'solemnity, "may I ask In what manner you thought he would ut aboat it?"

"I am an unlucky fellow to be m.\» understood," he replied. "I meant to convey to you a delicate hint that the longer you talked the more I should be pleased, but you turned my meaning upside down. Do forgive me and sit down again! I shall be quite disappointed if you go," he went on, as she hesitated. "You surely won't make it such a serious Uiatter? I was half in Joke, and thought you1 appreciated the humor of the situation." "I was very silly to take offense," said the lady client with decision. "Now I will hit clown and tell you all about it; but really I thought you felt me an infliction. It is very warm, you know." "It is; but this o!<! office keeps pretty cool. It is dark and low." He rose and lowered the Venetian blind, then resumed his seat with an attitude of deep attention. . "Now, Miss Lllbourne." "Ah, I wish I were certain that it is 'Miss!' she lamented. "That is one of the things that I "don't know!" He raised eyes to hers with another strange, furtive look. "Oh," he said, "you do not even know whether yoa are married or single?" "Not the least in the world!" sht said, shaking her head and laughing. "The plot thickens," said Mr. Martintjeu. "Please proceed to explain." "The first place that I can remember," said Marguerite Lllbourne, "is a French convent. It was very happy there.

Hon. C. M. AVood did not be-, lieve in the control of the people's industries by the national government, Uiat4lie postal service was not self supporting by about 8, 000,000 per year, an.I besides was not strictly under government control but largely in the hands of contractors. To show the failure oi socialism from a financial standpoint he pointed out the experience of this state in constructing the Mich.._ Central Ry. He believed in the centralization of capital to carry on business on a large scale and that the trusts were lied about by the press as well as individuals. Several other members expressed themselves as opposed to trusts and Rev. 13. H. Ellis made a telling argument against trusts by relating some of bis personal experence. He said that while engnged in a sugar refining factory a number of years ago in the city of New Orleans, where he had made preparations to stay indefimitely, • that one morning the order came to "clear up," and shortly after • the hands were paid off and die charged without any explanation, and it was learned that the great sugar trust had bought every sugar factory of any account in the United States and thrown out of employment thousands of hands, most of them with families dependent on their labor; then when the men, unnble to obtain employment in other channels and with starvation staring them in the fact?, became disorderly, government troops were called out to put them down by the strong arm of the law. He believed something was wrong with a system which drives men to madness then seoots them down for disobedience to law.

Several military Good Templar lodges went into the Sudan campaign, and on tbe Monday following the capture of Omdnrman, a new Good Templar lodge was instituted at Khartum in the Royal Warwickshire regiment .It is called "Pride of the Soudan" lodge. A new reason for urging the prohibition of liquor selling in all government buildings is the recent discovery of a "blind pig" in the new national library. That liquor is sold there without a licence, in defiance of law, is an outrage that should awakeu such a protest as will put out, not only the drink but also those who are responsible for this insult to our nation. Bishop Fitzgerald, John G. Woolley, Dr. S. C. Swallow and D. D. Thompson will be the speakers at the temperance rally, at the international Epworth league convention at Indianapolis, Ind., July 20-3. The themes will be "Total Abstinence and the Pledge," "Economics of the Drink Traffic," "The Saloon in Politics and "Restrictive and Prohibition Legislation." Says the Monetary Times, Toronto: "England has at last recognized that the state has a duty in connection with the inebriate. A law has just gone into force under which an individual after a fourth conviction for drunkenness is to be treated as a habitual drunkard and confined in a reformatory at the expense of himself or his friends, if they be able if necessary." France is notable as a winedrinking country. The best that temperance men have been able to do has been in the line of a moderate use of intoxicants. But a beginning has been made iu the direction of total abstinence. The tee-total congress held its seventh annual meeting in Paris a few weeks ago and attracted unusual attention. Curiosity may have entered largely into the interest awakened, as the positions taken had for the Parisians an element of novelty, yet the arguments advanced and the showing made for tbe cause were not without their effect. Good seed is being sown and the fruit will likely appear in due season. A few weeks ago Mr. Joshua L. Baily, the president of the National Temperance society, ordered a library of one hundred books to be sent to the soldiers' barracks, at St. Augustine, Fla., to be put in the large room that had formerly been used as a canteen, but when congress passed the law, was closed, and had been fitted up for a library and reading. Now Mr. Baily has received word from St. Augustine that as Mr. Alger has ordered the canteen to be opened, the books must go out, to make room for the bottles!!! * i > * Tonight, At tbe M.

There was a vast reach I of country, cornfields, vineyards, harvests and plenty of room in illimitable acreage. "Now," says Abram. "let us agree to differ. Here are the mountain districts, swept by the tonic sea breeze, and with wide-reaching prospect, and there is the plain of the Jordan, with tropical luxuriance. You may have either." Lot, who was not es rich as Abram, and" might have been expected to take the second choice, made the first selection, and with a modesty that must have made Abram smile, said to him: "You may ha^e the rocks and the fine prospect; I will take the valley of the Jordan, with all Its luxuriance of cornfields, and the river to water the The elevating influence cf music wilt; flocks, and the genial climate, and the The Arizona Indians are to be vaccinated.

The czar, as reported by Mr. Stead, "likes the United State3 and admires the principle of united sovereign states conducting their affairs peacefully without standing armies." The prln* clple is an admirable one and it Is barely possible Europe may apply it some of these days. But when the United States of Europe (copyright, by Mr." Stead) get that far along it is than probable there will be a number cf thrones sent to the historical lumfcer- room. That is a result of the realization cf Mr. Stead's dream which he hag probably not mentioned to his august .friend, the cznr. suggestion of the text: "Let there be no strife. I pray tbee, between me and thee. and between my herdsmen and thy herdsmen. Is.not the whole land before thee?*' _ , . . . , : Well, in this, the last decade of the' nineteenth century, and in this beautiful land, which was called America, after Americus Ve^pucius, but should have been called .Columbia, after its discoverer, Columbus, we have a wealth of religious privilege and opportunity that is positively bewildering.

Why has their demand for separation from Great Britain weakened? Why has the record of political and agrarian crime fallen below that of England itself? Chiefly because parliament has made timely or belated concessions to more | between my herdsmlfe and thy herds- I men. Is not the whole Liad before I thee?"

The hard technical claim of the landlord's vested rights has been qualified in the Interests of reason and how anybody could bear the noise In the Methodist church, and another declaring all the Baptists bigots. There are hundreds of families hopelessly split on ecclesiasticlsm, and In; the 'middle of every discussion on such "subjects there is a kindling of Indignation, and it needs some old father humanity.

One goes this way because, (he mountains are grander, another ;t*ke* this because the cars are more lnxurious; another that because the speed is greater; another takes the other because he has long been accustomed to that route, and all the employes' are familiar. So far as our engagement to meet Is concerned, it makes no difference if we only get there. Now, any one of the innumerable evangelical denominations, if you practice its teaching— although some of their trains run on a broad gauge and some on a narrow gauge—will bring you out at the city of the New Jerusalem. • * • Mighty God! In all Thy realm Is there one man or woman professing religion, yet so stolid, so unfitted, so far gone unto death that there would bo any hesitancy in surrendering all preferences before such an opportunity of salvation and heavenly reunion? IT you, a Christian wife, are an attendant upon any church, and your unconverted husband does not go there because he does not like its preacher or Its music or Its architecture or its uncomfortable crowding, and goes not to any house of worship, but would go If you would accompany him somewhere else, change your church relations. Take your hymnbook home with, you to-day. Say bood-by to your friends in the neighboring pews and go with him "Tcva~ny~61fe ^f a hundred churches till hi3 soul is saved and he joins you in the march to heaven. More important than that ring on the third finger of your left hand it is that your Heavenly Father command the angel of mercy, concerning your husband at his convereicn, as in the paniblo of old: "Put a r!nc on his hand." N-o letter of more tavportanee ever came to the great city of Corinth, situated on what was called the "Bridge of the Sea," and glistened with sculpture, and gated With a style of brass the magnificence of which the following ages have net been able to successfully imitate, and overshadowed hy the Acro-Corinthus, a fortress of rock 2,000 feet Slgh^-T say no letter ever came to th*t great city of more Importance than that letter in which Paul puts the, two startling questions: "What knowest thou, O wife, whether thou shalt save thy husband? Or how knowest thou, 0 man, whether thou shalt save thy wife?" Th3 dearest sacrifice on the part of the one Is cheap if It rescue the other. Better go to the smallest, v.'eakest, most insignificant church on earth and be co-partners in eternal bliss, than pass your earthly membership in a most gorgeously attractive oaurch while your companion stays outsfde of evangelical privilege. Better have the drowning saved by a scow or a sloop than let him or her go down while you rail by in the gilded calins of a Majsstic or Campania. Second remark: If both of the married couple be Christians, but one Is so naturally constructed that it is impossible to enjoy the services of a particular denomination, and the other is not so sectarian or punctilious, let the one less particular go with the otber who is very particular.

Let no man crowd us on a path like the bridge Al Sirat, which the Mohammedan thinks leads him from this world over the abyss of hell into Paradise, the breadth of the bridge less than the web of a starved spider, or the edge of a sword or razor, off the edges of which many fall. No; while the way is not wide enough to take with us any of our sins, it is wide enough for all Christian believers to pass without peril into everlasting safety. But do n,ot any of you depend upon what you call "a sound creed" for salvation. A man may own all the statutes of the state of New York and yet not be a lawyer; and a man may own all the best medicarf treatises ami not be a physician; and a man may own all the best works on painting and architecture and not be cither painter or architect; and a man may own all the sound creeds in the world and yet not be a Christian. Not what you have in your head and on your tongue, but in your heart &n<* in your life, will decide everything. * • • But let us all rejoice that, although part of our family may worship on earth in one church and part in another church, or, bowed at the. same altar in a compromise of preferences, we are, If redeemed, on the way to a perfect church, where all our" prefer-1 enccs will,be fully gratified.

At Its base was a low •tool,''on which the condemned are seated, and about three feet above that appears an fron rttlff -with a handle and screw, Dy the compression of which they are •trangled, instantly or Blowly according to sentence. The crowd.was very impatient; the fcour at -which the grim scene wa3 to have taken place was now long past. Loud murmur* arose from the people, who had heard moat exaggerated stories of Antonio's stature, strength and ferocity, and glances of anger and Impatience wore darted at the gilt dial of the town houBe, on which a bLack banner was hoisted but half-mast high. We recognized nearly all the crew of the San Ildefonso in front at the. mob; and there, too, wera a number of British sailors of H. *!..'• steam sloop of war Active, which had anchored in the harbor that morning.. Several priests ,1a, long, gTay robes were hurrying to and'fro,.b*ggiug "peseta'"to pay for masses for the soul of the condemned, ^lan.. ; As neither Hislop fibr I had any desire to witness a ecene go barbarous tod revolting as an execution, we hastened to our posada to breakfast.where we were aora* time-Jaier Joined by Capt. Jcse: Brtreaera,.-who had just come from the Castle of, Santa Cruz, where the culprit was confined, anil who gave us nil th4-particulars concerning the execution of -Antonio that ire cared to know* CHAPTER XXXVI. • Conclusion. I have but little more to add, for with this last eplsodft the course of wild adventures upon which I had been so strangely hurried, nearly closes. A few hotf.'S after the death of Antonio, when Hialopanil I, with Lambourne, Carlton an4 other survivors of the Eugenie were walling in the office of the British consul, to make some arrangements for rewarding Jose Eatre- Brerar-for^ls great kindness- te-ua allr we met Captain the Hon. Egerton B— of her majesty's ship Active, who was so struck with our story tha£. he. offered us all a passage to England, an offer we accepted with gratitude. His ship was leaving the African squadron, and returning home to be repaired. "Rodneys-Rodney," aald he, ponderingly, when the consul introduced me, "you ought to have been a sailor, for ycur name is well known in the service," and his words brought the memory of my poor mother's ambition back to me, and I thought oi the old picture which hung In the dining room at home. After a brief conference with his shipmates, Tattooed Tom now came forward, and twirling his fragment of a hat, said that "if the noble captain hnd no objection, as he, Ned Carlton, Probart and the other poor fellows of the Eugenie were out of a bertb, and at uncommon low water, they would gladly ship aboajjd the Active and en- № t * * b k ' slxty-eighta and thirty-two* peered above tht> brine; the anow-whltt hiuxvmock cloths, with the gold epauleto of the lieutenant of the watch gUiUring above them; the red-coated marines on the poop and forecastle; the great scarlet ensign of "Old England" floating at the gaff-peak, and that BO. part of the illusion might be wanting, a little marine flfer, playing shrilly but sweetly "Home, Sweet Home" in one of the boats that lay alongside, by the guess-warp boom. She was so thoroughly British' in lwrr aspect, so unlike anything we had seen in the aeas we had traversed, that we felt at home the moment our feet were on the deck of good old English oak—aye, as much at home a* rf we stoed upon the chalky South Foreland, and saw the great hop fields of fertile Kent at our feet, with the gray towers of Dover and the white spires of Deal in the distance. Old Lambourne uttered a shout, and pointed to the Union Jack. One must bo abroad and far aw»y to feel to the full the emotions that are excited, and the confidence which ia inspired on seeing the old flag, th*t baa swept every sea and shore, waving in its pride from the gaff-peak of a. British man-of-war. It is then that we feel "what & tway one little island lias exercised over the mighty earth." Hislop and I dined with Cayt. J\—, who was anxious to bear our story in detail. Our shipmates were told off to Olelr several divisions, and we were placed in the ward room mesa for the remainder of the voyage. We sailed that night, and under steam and canvas, as we bore away to the north, we soon saw the peak of Adam sinking into the dark blue «;a. "Adieu to the Canaries," said Hisli>p, waving his hat; "the next shore we see wity be Europe—the white cliff* of Old England, perhaps." But next day we sighted the grtmt pi tens ot the Salvage islands, a group of uninhabited rocks which are claimed by the Portuguese (perhaps no one t 9 : f c Capt B—, who saw^aJt fr glance Uuit they were all flrat-class seamen, readily accepted the offer and promised them the usual bounty, for which they gave three loud cheers for the queen, and it cams from their throats not the less heartily that they were far away from her and in a foreign land, all tattered as they were, with scarcely a «hirt to their backs. "Heaven bless you. my lads," said Hislop; "this is the best thing you can •do ; and believe me, Capt. B , you -will find my old shipmates neither waisters nor green hands, but thorough A. B.'s." As they all lored him, another cheer lor Hislop followed, and while the •captai n went off to the Active in his £ig, we all adjourned to a posado to "have a friendly glass together. Soon after, as the war steamer was to sail that evening, a boat under a midshipman came off for us, and then <we bade farewell to Jose EBttremera, •to hU mate, Manuel Gautler, to Fra Anselmo, and the old governor of Surafoaya. "Come, Dick, we hare no time to lose," said Hit lop; let us be off to the «hip while daylight lasts/' I shall sever forget my emotions of Joy when the boat with Hislop and the rest of tw caxte steering alongside the Active. , I • She iras «o cleAn, to. trig, ao square aloft; .with tbe bright copper gleaming in the water below; her black bulwarks 6 red portboloa, through whiob bar, surrounded by dangerous shoals.

We touched at Madeira, and after i delightful voyage of about sixteen day* ran up the Channel, and came to an chor in the Downs on the 29tu of October. • • * I had been absent from home mor€ than a year, when I found myself in London—in mighty London, with it? dark forests of masts and its dark cathedral dome, that meets the eye from every point 0/ view—a wemdrous and bewildering change, after traversing so long the wide and lonely sea! With a heart swollen by anxiety to learn tidings of my father, my mother and sisters, I reached the counting room of my uncle'a firm, Rodney & •Cos,?.-In rthe city, but Ihej*. was aome.- tfcHte s * peculiar t ' y ' p ^ i , i pertained neither to sea nor shore,* and was unmistakably outlandish, that old John Thomas, the porter, seemed inclined to shut the door in my face. A short explanation, however, soon overcame his scruples, and I was then admitted. My uncle was at Erlesmere, but hia head clerk assured me that my family were all well, though they had long since given me up for dead, as a handsome (he assured me it was very handsome) white marble tablet erected to my memory in the Rectory church remained to testify. My letters from Cuba had never reached home. Aa/I had no desire to shock my parents by a sudden surprise, a telegram preceded me, and In less than an hour I was off by the express train f«*r Erlesmere. But with all its speed th« express seemed too slow for me. Mark Hislop accompanied me until he could get a ship, but before looking for thai he meant to visit hia old mother, who lived somewhere in Scotland. After all that we had undergone all that I had to show my family were the sword and old book found in the waterlogged brig, the creese of a mutinous Lascar, and the ring given m« by the governor of Surabaya.

The bill, which had been brought back from the governor, was t*k*n up in committee of the whole on the 13th as a special order. The beet sugar lobbyists had realized that they could not get the necessary two-thirds vote for the bounty of one cent a pound, as originally provided, and agreed to have the bounty cut to half a cent a pound. But even with thin cut there were some who fought the bill, Sayre and Colling wood being prominent After some other dilatory motions the bill was placed on passage by a vote of 21 to 8. The total amount allowed by bills for maintenance of state institutions is 53.157,031.26; for buildings and other special purposes, 9804,050. Of these amounts, the item for the maintenance of asylums for the insane is the largest, amounting to Si,707,738.70, new buildings for the asylums to cost $394,- 614.70; educational institutions come next, with a total appropriation ot 8925,175. The total amount to be raised by taxation is S7.13S.121.65, compared with 84.537.677 two years ago, an increase of 32,000,443.75.

'63, when over the blood-sodden field of Gettysburg the light began to break. Could ail the history of the wounded and dead have been written never before had been such a chronicle of rom a n c e a nd tragedy, bat it was not; --only now and then"*"Teaf7~asit^werer has bee,n written and preserved—thsi -one by an army nurse. My hands and skirts were dabbled in blood; my heart was faint within int. For long hours I had fasted and worked; into my ears had been poured the most tender of last messages; the most heart-breaking tales. "You ought to rest a little." said the Vough but kindly voice of an old surgeon; "only. If yon ee* stand up a minute longer—tkere is a ease over '•here I uaat yon to sea. la silence I followed him to, a small emnrea building that had been tuned into an hospital. Every pew was a bed of pain; iblood dripped from between the altar rails; even the aisles were partially blocked with the wrecks of humanity. It U in a sees* like this that one appreciates the "other side" of war. The surgeon led me straight to the jginser's stand and pointed to a ydang n an in shoulder straps, whose blonde -curls v/ere matted and whose beautiful blue eyes, beautiful even In their pain, -roved reetlessty over the waHs aod ceiling. He was lying flat on his back yrittfrntr « prayer boosr tarn pilloic ( saw at a glance that an arm was gone. The fincers iof the other hand worked' nerteosly. "I can't make oot whether he is in Ills right mind or not,** the surgeon said in an undertone. "^sUybe you can tell." I kneeled and laid ay hand cm his trow. He seetaed not to have noticed me before. Now he turned a startled, 'wondering gaze on me. H * lips moved, IJOt at first I could not catea the words. By and by I made out: "I want Dollle. Please bring Dollie He looked up with almost a smile In his eyes, and asked naively: "Don't you know Dollle?" "I am, afraid I don't," I said, and I smiled a little too. "Dollle is my sweetheart," he answered a moment later. His face wa3 very grave now. "And, oh, how she cried when I came away.' 1'oor Dollie!" A few moments I busied myself in trying to make him more comfortable; then he broke out again: "If only I could see her just a few minutes IL would be heaves on earth. Maybe she would come if she knew I am sick. I am Bizls, ain't IV "What ails me? I feel so queer and sore all over and " There!" he suddenly interrupted himself—"it you hook -quick yon will see Dolly's head up there when the light shines on that lamp. Look! At tho <iucstiou he flashed mo such a look. "Wil you?" That was ull, but oh, the intensity of it! "Write to S. B. StcrUng.Sterllns's Comers, Pennsylvania." I was not in tho least doubt of hl3 sanity at the moment, but before I could trace the words in my notebook, his gaze \v»3 ouce moro on the celling, and he waa babbling of mother and Dollie. Reluctantly I brought myself to search hU pockets, finding, strange to say, only a notebook with the name In gilt letters on the cover: "Donald Dee." My letter wa3 brief, only this: "Donald Deo Is dangerously wounded and calls ceaselessly for Dollle." It was a memorable Fourth of July, one never to be forgotten by the i>oor fellows suffering through the hot, Interminable hours, or the busy surgeons and nurses, who never paused in their work of moistening hot lips, bathing throbbing brows, washing out gaping wounds, receiving last messages, "writing letters home;" in short doing what they could when everything was to do.. In xay surprise away ft|tf!, J&Trtj .3: >«rlLedhow nJUuriTfier smiles at me out of the corners of her eyes—a trick of hers. Dear Dollie! She's gone now, ] dreamed of her •t • taere."

"Was she wining far you to. goi to war?" I asked. Like' the doctor, L wjts not sure of his. mental condition?," "Yes. willing in a way. £ he felt that it was right tor me to goj and right is law with Doilte." I went away then, Uut an boor Hater, having bribed a goad woman over the way to let me baTe a pillow—her last one—I returned to his side, it seemed to me that he had failei rfarlng my absence and the trouble* took in his eyes was Intensified. When I had put the pillow under his head and bathed his face, be said, gratefully: "How very kind you are? Your touch 'minds me of mother^." Then I knew he was watching me, but he did not speak for a long time, and when he did it was oot to me: "Father in heaven, let me see Dollle once more; please send her to me." I could not stand either the words or the ; ethos in the voice. I must help answer i a u prayer if possible. By and *y r«*ld: "Could you tell me where to send for Dollie? Maybe she would come to you if It is not too far, and I should tell her how much you need her." It was a hazardous thing to say. We did oot often «are maketaeh suggestion*, tor, of course, few comparatire- ,-^ouid_-come._jBidjtt^4kl not do to raiae false hopes. ^ ^ cocfldeat that lie eould not live many hours, and his pleadings touchod me inexpressibly, even amid the scene fr.zd Eights, surrouncllus. As soon as possible we had the young captain removed to more comfortable quarters. "His wounds were doing fairly well, but the surgeon said the shock had been ti o much for his nervous system; he might or might not live. "Everything, I should say, depends upon the nursing," he added, looking meaningly at me. "I will do my best for him till Dollie comes," I made answer, but my heart misgave me; I did not think she would come, and If she did—well, the future was veiled, a3 futures are apt to be. Day by day he wasted away. Although I prepared him fairly decent messes he scarcely ate at all; and though a real-bedstead had been loaned him, with a real though somewhat dilapidated straw mattress on it, he seldom slept. Without being moody, he was not talkative. He seemed to be silently consuming by tomo toward longing. "He is dying to see his sweetheartpoor boy!" was what the surgeon said, and what we all thought. It was the evening of th# forrrtfit doj after I sent my message to Sterling Corners. Sitting hy his coufffcu fanning him—it was Intensely hot—E wa3 startled to hear him say in at hurried whisper: "You don't think »tt« will get haw In time?" To give myself tiror to frame at* answer, "I am afraid I wiir not hold' out fftl Dollle gets here. I dreamed this afternoon that her mother was here by tit* bed, and she said, You won't have to wait much longer, Donald." Her mother is dead, you know, and I tttiok it means that I am seen to got" Assuming a hopefuiiress- that I' was far from feeling I ans^eredc "I! do not so interpret your dream. L take it that you will not haveMong to lie here and wait before Dollis?oome»;" He caught hopefully at the suggestion and seemed muck better ail nig&t Early the next morning I went to se« a poor boy whose ead1 wa3 unmistakably near and who called me 'motiter.' I was detained some time and' as ray return to my headquarters necessitated my passing where C^Qt. Dee was quartered, I thought to serve him Uis breakfast and then take an hour or two of rest. The surgeon met rae, saying: "Obittahas. come and is waiting out there is the kitchen. See her and then break the news to him. He Is very, weak this morning." My heart beat fast; at last- If "would see Dollie with her arms about h«r lover's neck. I, *ould Imagine- iust the way he would' look at her.; He s&itf so much with hiss eyes. I paused on Use threshold, of the kitchen; she WAS not there—no ane but the cook, a arrange man and: a little child were in the roomi. DoTIle must have grown, impatient and sought him out; the shock might kill bam. Hurriedly I. turned away, but as I did so the child sprang forward and It was alt I oouUTs&y. "Of covysc I'm Doll*?," tUo In an injured tone, adding "I want my papa, and he.-Avaata me." The stranger, nu elderly gentleman, now interposed by handing me my own letter and saying: . ••>~ "I am S. 5. Stirling. Donald DJ*'S stepfather, and thla is llttlo Dollls, his daughter." "Certainly— yes, I see," I stammered, and I did, though a3 yet dimly; it was ao entirely different from what I had expected. And then I went to Capt. Dee. He seemed restless and fevexiah, and I gave myself time by wetting a cloth and placing it on hia head. By and by I eald: "If Dollio should come today, could you bear the joy of it?** "I'd like to try the experiment." and a ghost of a smile flitted over his wan features. "Joy is> not as apt to be fatal as either hope deferred or rebel bullets, and I know gocurthlng of both of these." Then I said: "Well, she is here." I can no more describe five* umitterable look of gladness that lighted bl3 fa,ce than I can describe the rapturo of the blest. "Than!: God—and y o u r !• A few moments later Dollle covering his face and hands with and he was hugging her with his on* arm and calling her "sweetheart" ov«r and over again. For the time the grandfather and' Vstood apart and let them enjoy themselves, the former telling me meanwhi- le of the unusual affection existing between them, of how the youat wife had died while Dolly was a babe and of the almost constant prayer of the child for her father's safety since he entered the army. She was a lovely child, with her father's blonde curls and fine blue eyes, Donald Dee did not die, and a few day3 later he was taken home to the mother love and care awaiting him there. I am now grandmother to Dollie'a children, for you must know Donald and I celebrated our next Fourth in a far more pleasing manner than the one, a year before, and Dollie has long my sweetheart as well as his.

My uncle dragged me out of the carriage and handed mo over to her, blinking with Bleep, dusty with travel, half crying with fatigue. I think she put, me to bed at once. At first, any conversation between us was very difficult, as I could not understand anything she said, and I was qaite determined not to learn English, whlefc stood condemned in my eyes as the language of my uncle. At last, hpwevcr, I had of course to give in, and to acquire by slow degrees, a knowledge of colloquial English. "It was a dilapidated house, and, I am sure, ia a most out-of-the-way place—t^ere was no railway for Eeveral miles. There was a small village, and a tiny church in a' very bad state of repair.

Mr. Martineau was compelled to confess to himself that her sincerity mu self-evident. "Please go ont" he said. "It is a difficult thing to tell, I know eo'ltttle about it mysetf." tne resumed. "The woman whom I have mentioned was my uncle's" housekeeper. She was kind to me, t ut I was afraid of her. She was a very reserved, silent woman— I think she spoke leas than any woman I ever k w v. Our bomm stood from Ik* high road, ana tnree miles from the village. I was never allowed beyced the grounds without the housekeeper. "Every day the old achoolm»ittr frcra the village came to give me lessons. It was, a« you may imagine, a very old-fashion^ education which I received; Lut I liked IL My unele had a library—neither large nor valuable, but I read all the books on tho3e shelves. Robinson Crusoe, Rasscla3, Gulliver, t ie Ifilgrix's Progress—that was my only idea of fiction. So the days and months crept slowly by. My uncle was often away, and I used to notice, at those times, a greater anxiety on the part c? the housekeeper to have an eye on mo, and that 1 ehould not go out of bounds. I was no doubt closely watched; but by degrees they grew to trust me more, for I wa3 very tractable. Constant isolation made me dull, quiet, unlike other girls. I had absolutely no link with the outer world; I had been distinctly forbidden to write to the nuns—I knew no one In England. My uncle u*;ed to have visitors—always men—but these I never eaw. I lived quite apart from him; hia rooms were at the other end of the house. I alway3 had my meals with the houEekeeper." "Pardon my interruption," said Mr. Martlneau, in a low tone. "Did you say you never Baw your uncle's guests?" "Wait a minute; I am going to tell you," the replied. "When I was between sixteen and seventeen .a change came about in my world. The old schoolmaster died. There was a pause in the regular routine of my days. Left entirely to my own devices, I used to wander all over the upper parts of the house. In one of the attics I found a box full of books. Some were dull and uninteresting, but some were—well, I do not think you can have any idea of what it was to me to become acquainted with Sir Walter Scott, Thacxeray and Lord Lytton. My brain almost reeled with an accumulation of new ideas. I wondered how in the world I could have remained where 1 was .so long in helpless, stupid ignorance of life. I soon resolved that I wrp.uld. J)ear if. no longer. I would brave my ur.cle; I would demand my freedom; I would ask why I was mewed up thus in a corner, away from all companionship. "I remember that night vividly. It was August, sultry and still, and both atrdosphere find -sky were beautifully ctear I had spent the afternoon under me willows by the b-rook, globing over my novel'till the facing light compelled me to close the book. The pastures, as I walked lingeringly back to tne htnc'i. -were heavy with dew, avA discolored the hem of my whtte cotton dress. I must have beea a. strange looking girl; my hair floated »11 over my sr/oulders and4 down n?y ^barfc txplow my Waist; nobody hfd ever told nie trlaTT"wss~growreg—u-^ and that my locks should, be arranged more neatly. I came with alow stops round the corner of the house, brushlcg' my hand softly along the thick dark box trees; my lightly-shod feet made no ncrfse on the gravel as 1 turned the corner of the clump of thick bushes which stood at each side of the entrance, and advanced toward the heavy * white columns of the porch. "Then I started back and paused irresolutely, for there was a stran&f r standing by the door— a young man with bare head and folded arms. I beg your pardon, Mr. Martineau, did I startle you?" "Not in the least, thanks. You—you can't think how you interest me. Please don't pause." "It seems a strange thing that up to tbat night I* had never encountered any of my uncle's guests, but it is nevertheless quite true. As he turned and caught sight of me, he utttered an exclamation of surprise. " 'You startled me,' he said. " 'You startled me, too,' I answered vaguely, as I looked at him. there came floating into my mind reminiscences ,of the romances with which I had lately filled my head. I thought of the first meeting between Ivanhoe and Rebecca as I looked up at him. He took my hand, drew me to his side, and patted .aiy hair kindly. "'Whose dear little girl are your !he said. "I felt cruelly wounded and hurt! There was every excuse for him—you see how email 1 am, no taller than a child, my hair was all down my back, amd the light was fading! But I never thought of that.

(To fee continued.) / Lots of Sheep In A a*trails A letter to Bradstreet'a from Melbourne. Australia, says: The terrible drought that during the last live years has devastated the central and western portions of South Wales Is not yet broken. The losses are un»alling, the number of sheep iu the- colony having fallen within the last seven years from about 62,000,00 3 to about 40,000,000 , the natural increase also bciug lost. It will requlrt several gooU years in succession to re* pair the damage. The districts prln* ciyully affected have almost literally boconie a desert, large masses of sand shifting from point to point, according to the prevailing wind. Boundaries are in ruapy oases obliterated; dams aud tjtnks, constructed at great ex* pe^se, are choked up and frequently buried. The sheep and the rabbits, ia their, last extremity, hare eaten the roota ot nearly «!! the natural vegetation. Doubtless tbe climatic inHuences will orrefc. more become favorable and for a tew years resettlement will proceed. But the trutii Is forcing Iueif upon the judgment of capitalists i c teicsted in gquauiog, that \he climaii of the central districts of Australia 14 too precarious to justify outlay, and a great extent of country is likely to ba abandoned. But the wide coa.su 1 dis tricts of the continent of Australia will, as they are improved, more than ma Us amends for the recession from an arid country that affords no encouragement for permanent settlement Notwithstanding the losses of sheep in New South Wales, the total of the Australasian flocks shows a slight increase as compared with ten years ago. At the close of 18S8 the total was estimated at about 97,000,000 , and three years later at about 124,500,000 . It U acw about 100,00,000 . Owicg to the effects of the drougtt the aggregate annual wool clln> has fallen off. For the year 1894-95 (from July 1 to June 30) the total quantity shipped from the Australasian colonies was 1,951,80 0 bales. Last season (1S97-08 ) the total was 1,718,20 0 bales, and it is estimated that for the current season, to close June 30 next, the total will be 1,700,00 0 bales. < A falling off ot four years in succession, especially in pure merino sheep, has, however, gradually relieved the consuming markets, which were somewhat congested with stock, and prices have been steadily rising of late. It is probable, therefore, that the net return to the Australasian tfheep farmers this season will be £2,000,000 to £3,000,000 greater than last season, eo that inere&seU value will compensate for diminished quantity. The frozen-meat t!rade» en adjunct of thetmstoraJ industry, has been well maintained, but when the drought Is thoroughly broken the demand for sheep for restocking purposes will adversely affect the Australian portion of the frozen-mutton trade for a time, the—New- -Eealaod -por_Uan_continuing to progress. T&o export of frozen beef from Queensland ic likely to, increase, the herds numbering between*5,000,000 and 6,600,000 head of catUff and the colony, containing only about 400,000 persons.

Leading papers of St. Louis, Mo., say that the Prohibition Union of Christian Men has al- | ready cost the liquor dealers over $100,000. The act of prohibiting thd sale of intoxicating liquors within 2,000 feet of the national soldiers' homes, at Dansville and Quincy, 111., has been approved by the governor, and is now a law. The Wine and Spirit Gazette, a leading organ of the liquor traffic, does not agree with Attorney-General Grigg's interpretation of the canteen law. It says plainly: "This clause was meant to abolish the canteen.' Miss Agnes Weston, the friend of English sailors, lately celebrated what she calls her "silver-wedding" with the navy; i. e., the 25th anniversary of her beginning her work for the sailors at Portsmouth. The modest little public house without drink" started twenty-five years ago, has developed into a magnificient building, on which $1,000,000 has been spent. Last year it sheltered 178,527 men, who paid $79,800 for food and temperance drinks. "In your opinion, what proportion of the prisoners in your jail were brought there directly or indirectly through the use of intoxicating liquors?" This question was recently submitted by the New Voice to 3,000 jailers of the country. Of these, 1,017 have already replied, their aggregate experience covering about 6,000 years. The replies show that in license states and territories, 72 per cent of crime has been caused by drink, while in prohibition states only thirty-seven per cent is traceable to this source. The District of Columbia has- the highest number^ 95 per cent, and South Dakota has the lowest, 19 per cent F. L. Andrews was in Jackson l u l l Bad management keeps more peo- Friday on busineas. L.

WAR NOTES, It is improbable the war department will accept as final the decision of the Pennsylvania court declaring1 that the array canteen is subject to state taxation. The ottloer in charge of the canteen at Camp Mead appealed to the war department for assistance in defeudiny the case, and the department, approving of the application, transmitted it to the department of justice with the request that an officer of that department be assigned for the purpose. It is believed the decision was rendered before the defense could be prepared. 'J he principle involved Is ! regarded as important, and it is significant that the Pennsylvania decision is directly in conflict svith the formal opinion of the court of claims in the casa involving the canteen. That court decided that the canteen was one of the instrumentalities of government and therefore exempt from taxation. The insurgent army has taken to the swamps and hills beyond Imus.

If the story of An son Castor, of Flinj, is true, hia son, Fred Castor, an innocent man, is serving a sentence of lour years in Ionia prison, and the guilty party is free. Frank Logan was *ent from Kalamazoo last November to Ionia prison on a sentence of four years for burglary. A few days ago Anson Castor was told by a man who had just completed a sentence at Ionia that bis son Fred was serving- time at that prison. The son told his brokenhearted father his story as follows: lie had been tramping it some and had as- £tun;d the name of FranU Logan to hide his identity. While at Kalamazoo he was arrested and charged with burglary. It seems that tome time ago there was a fellow about Kalamaatoo by the name as.sumed by this young man who bore a very bad record!, and this fellow being- about the Mine age and build was mistaken for the other party. He was convicted on the evidence of one Wm. Cavanaugh, •who was a partner in the crime, and who said that Frank Logan v/us the other party. Another Murder la Detroit. Bert Newman, who was sliot on the 25th by Henry Kentt died at tho hospital from the ctTects of his iniunes on the day following- tho tragedy. Newman was a divorced man niul made his homo with Mr. and Mrs. Henry Kent in Detroit. A short time before the fatal shot was tired Newman and his assassin were conversing in u pleasant manner, Newman lying- on a sofa and Kent sitting near him. Newman dropped asleep, but was shortly aroused by a stinging feeling in his side, and, looking up saw Kent standing over him pointing a smoking revolver at him. lie sprang to his feet, seized the revolver and pounded Kent into almost insensibility before ho realized how seriously he himself was injured. Tins accomplished, he left the house and boarded a car for the hospital to have hia wound dressed. Here it was learned that the bullet had entered the left side just below the heart, and that chances for his recovery was doubtful. The patient lingered for about 20 hours when he died in much agony. The shooting was the result of Kent's jealousy of Newman towards his wife. Freak of aa Insane Man. Martin Sehultz, a farmer living about fonr miles northwest of Brighton, became violently insane recently and set fire to his large hay and grain barns which together witU his horse barn and a shed, were burned to the ground. Mr. Schulta has hod spells •luring- which his mind seemed to be deranged, but had never displayed any Tiolence. He made two attempts to burn his house before he set fire to the hams. After the barns had been destroyed he went and laid on the railroad tracks. An officer and a large number of citizens from Brighton had a desperate struggle with Schultz. He was armed with a knife and declared he would take his own life before he would surrender. He was finally overpowered and taken to the county jail. Hounded Up Att«r Six Tear*. Nearly six years ag-o N. L. Surdam, an aged man, and his son, about 6) years of age, residing alone on their -farm about four miles—fromPaw Pa-w, were robbed of about $830 in money that they, being suspicious of banks, had deposited for safe keeping in an old trunk kept in their residence. Suspicion was directed to one Alary Neal, a • domestic in their employ, but sufficient evidence to warrant her arrest was not found until recently, when the crime was almost barred by the Btatute of limitation, it was learned that she was living- at Kalamazoo. Officers at once arrested her, and one Daniel Cobbledick as an accomplice. At their trial, realizing that both would be convicted, each plead guilty. 7 Fortune Teller's 1'redltlons Came True. Several 3'ears ago Jacob J. Wilcox, then a wealthy and prominent farmer of Danby township, Ionia county, had his fortune told by a gypsie, and the substance of it was about as follows: She told him of his circumstance; told him he would soon move from the farm; said he would engage iu other business and lose about all he had, and lastly, that he would go thousands of miles from the place where he lost his money and would there gain so much wealth that his first possessions would be nothing as compared to it. All of the predictions came true and Wilcox left for parts unknown. Nothing had been heard of him until last week a letter wns received from him by a friend at his former home stating ho was in Alaska, where he has been for more than a year. While his letter does not say he has dug any gold, ho will, if the remainder of the lortuue teller's story comes true. Married Beranse She Lored Him. John W. Jones, a<?ed 73, and Miss Jessie Cressor, aged 18, both of Kalamazoo, were quietly married at Constantine on the 26th. The groom is well-to-do and the bride is pretty and piquant While the grooms estated is estimated to be worth fully 8500,000 and was willed to the young bride before marriage, she asserts that it wa& not her lover's money that induced her to marry him, but simply because she -loved hii&i—T-h-e-young4ad-y wus n known to tell a falsehood. Should &MC« Telephone Coa. There seems to be a general ignorance as to the shape in which the laws taxing telephone and telegraph companies were left by the last legislature. -Attorney-General Oren has advised all ^questioners that telephone property should be assessed locally by township supervisor* :.nd other assessing- oUlcers on account of the fact that the new law passed just before the close of the legislature was not enacted in time for the assessment this year. Telegraph companies and express companies will be assessed by the state under laws which have been oa the statute Uboks lor some time. Next year all telephone, telegraph and express companies will be assessed under the new law, which provides lor a 3 per cent •lax on their earnings. Alice I.oontiale Convicted. "Dr." Alice G. Lonsdale, of Detroit, has been convicted of performing an operation which resulted in the death of Cora Ethel Hetherington. She will demand a new trial. If the case comes up again and Mrs. Londsdalc takes the stand, the police have certain evidence which they will spring on the defense. It is the record of the female doctor in Minneapolis, where her name was mixed up with the story of a mysterious fire, and in Omaha, where she was openly charged with malpractice.

The first trial trip of the new American cup defender, Columbia, which took place'in Narragansett Bay, -was more successful than either her"builders or her owners hud reason to hope. Not only did the new boat show herself to be able in every particular, but she met the old racer Defender in a friendly brush of a mile to windward and vanquished her with the greatest ease. The race between the flyers, which was over in five minutes, was sailed in an eight-knot breeze under the same conditions, each boat carrying three lower sails with sheet well flattened. It took the-Columbia about three minutes, sailing from the Defender's weather quarter, to blanket her, and in five minutes she was 100 yards ahead, going past the old cup defender as if the lntter was anchored. Under these conditions it would seem as if the Columbia were from 15 to 20 seconds a mile faster than the Defender, and if she can make the same gain in a hard blow anxiety as to the safety of the American." cup will be considerably allayed. llc»»y IUln« Have RuUrded Work la tb« tpper PeukatuLi.

Lird, assistant quart< rqn^n general in charge of transportation, had a consultation with the President on the 28th, relative to the question of reinforcements for Gen. Otis. A definite decision was reached to continue recruiting men at each of the 70 recruiting stations in the U. B. The enlistments are to be for the regular army, and recruits are to be organized into regiments or assigned to regiments already formed after enlistment. The term of enlistment is for three years, and present indication are that 10,000 men will be wanted. Capt Clarke, Capt. Watson, Lieut Iiall nnd 200 sick or wounded from the 20th Kansas regiment, have been sent home. Only 450 men are still doing tlutj-. They are on the firing line. The other members of the regiment arc relieved from duty on account of sickness. The Kansas regiment's normal strength is about 1,200 men. With 200 sick and on the way home and 450on the firing line, .V>0 are left among those k-unfit fo«- duty.' (Jen. Otis has ordered the opening to tra'le of many important ports that huve been closed since the outbreak. These include San Fern ado, coast of Luzon, Apari, Cariamoa and nil ports in the islands of Samar and Leyte. Gunboats will protect the shipping in some ports, but elsewhere shippers must risk confiscation by the insurgents, who exact heavy tribute of all ships they permit to sail. Owing to the murders, robberies and depredations in the vicinity of Guanajay, the peasants are sending their families into Havana. The mayor, having decided it would be impossible to reach the culprits through the ordinary processes of law, issued an order for the arrest on suspicion of all disreputable characters. Fourteen new cases of yellow fever were officially reported at Santiago on the 28th. This raises the total number of cases to "A of which 12 have proven fatal. M.aj. Carr, the surgeon in charge, reports that there are no further cases under suspicion and that the general h.'ulth of the troops i3 go id. Advices received from Gen. Otis on the 2Cth says it is now too wet to do much fighting and that 12 per cent of the army is laid up. He bays the rebels are scattered and that their largest force only numbers 4,000.

Uai Ju»t Been UBtabUshed fur An luporUnt deciaion has just been rendered In San Francisco in the United States Circuit Court, in the case of the "California Fig Syruj> Company vs. Clinton E. Worden & Co.. et aJ." The principal defendant is a large nousecret manufacturing concern. A permanent Injunction has beea granted enjoining the defendants from using the name—Syrup of Figs, or Flgt Syrup—and ordering them to pay the costs and account for damages. Tfco decision is ot the greatest value, not only to manufacturers cf proprietary articles, but to the public generally, as It affirms that the valuable re-putatioa acquired by an article of merit, will be protected by the Courts, cad that the party who builds the reputation by extensive and legitimate advertising, is entitled to tne fall fruits of his enterprise. This confirms the title of tho California Fig Syrup Co. to this genuine and most valuable remedy. "Syruj* of Figs." 4he Flac Follvws Truda.

The midyear examination in Fine Arts Three, which was held at Harvard on Feb. 4, uncovered these curiosities of spelling among other things almost as curious: Appolo. Alebaster, Terricotta, Cltidal, Inate, Pilar, Jems (gems), Statute (statue), Backwood (backward), Such errors were found distributed throughout the class and were not confined to a few notebooks. Several of those who misspelled athlete were especially prominent in athletic circles. This class in fine arts is among the largest in the university, having fully 300 members. It contains no freshmen, but is made up mostly of juniors and seniors. It is probably the most popular of the general culture courses, and was under Professor Charles Eliot Norton until the present year. The course has been regarded as almost a liberal education in itself. Preeceeaing, Collum, Entirelly, Phisique, Renound, Sculpters, Athelete. Largest of Land AnftfaaU. The bones of an extinct dinosaur ('•terrible lizard"), recently unearthed near Laramie, Wyo., by Prof. W. H. Reed, are believed to represent the largest land animal known ever to have dwelt upon the earth. The length of the skeleton is 130 feet, of which 40 belonged to the body proper, 60 tc the tail and 30 to the neck and head Prof. Reed estimates that the weight of this monster, when clothed with flesh, must have been about 80 tons.

Edith *—-- <4IA»* T'm gnr p y m l r ' THE COLOR OP SNOW. Whr It Is Generally White, bat Som« time* Ked. The white color of snow is the re- Bult of the combination of the different prismatic rays issuing from the minute snow crystals. Pounded glass and foam give analogous illustrations of the prismatic colors blending together and forming the white light out of •which they had been originally formed. The air contained in the crystals intensifies the whiteness of the snow. The snow from its loose texture and the fact that contains about ten times its bulk of air is a very bad conductor of heat, and thus forms au admirable covering for the earth from the effects of radiation, it not infrequently happening in times of great cold that the soil ts forty degrees warmer thai the surface of the overlying snow. The apparent redness of snow as seen from a distance i6 often an effect of light which adds a peculiar charm to mountain and winter landscape*, particularly in the mornings and evenings, when the rays of the sun fall most obliquely on the surface of tHe Bnow. But snow is occasionally found both in Polar and Alpine regions of a really red color. This phenomenon seems to have been observed by tae ancients, as a passage in Aristotle apparently refers to it; but it attracted no attention in modern times till 1760, When Saussure observed it in the Alps, and from chemical experiments concluded that the red color was owing to the presence of some vegetable substance which he supposed might b« the pollen of a plant. The next observations on red snow were made In the Arctic expedition under Capt. Rosi, when it was found extending over a range of cliffs on the shore of Baffla's Bay for eight miles, the red color penetrating the snow in some places to a depth of twelve feet. On the return ot the expedition in 1819 the coloring matter as then existing in the melted snow was subjected to careful examination by Robert Brown, and by Francii Bauer, the former most eminent botanist pronouncing it to be produced by a unicellular plant of the order Algae. Baron t/rangel afterward declared It to be a lichen and called it Leprasia Kermesina. But Dr. Grerille, of Edinburgh, who obtained specimens from the Scottish island of Lismore, on further examination returned to the opinion of Brown, an opinion which has since been fully confirmed, and the plant is generally known by the name protaeoscusal vails. - look quite that much like a lemon.

As a trolley car ran at high speed down the hill from High street and dashed past North street it struck Miss Nellie Cahill. who had attempted to cross the track in front of it on a birycle. The bicycle ran on the fender and struck the front of the car with, terrific force. Miss Cahill fell from her wheel and landed on the fender. Her bicycle was by her side for a distance of forty or fifty feet, when its rear wheel was caught by some obstruction on the pavement and the wheel was tumbled off and thrown to one side ol the car. Miss Cahill .clutched the iron frame of the fender and bravely kept her position The skirt of her drees, which fell over the side of the fender, caught an obstruction, and several times, as pieces of the garment were torn away, the strength of the young woman was tested severely, but she held on. The car, with Miss Cahill on the fender, ran a distance equal to an ordinary half block, when it stopped. MUs Cahill didn't wait to be lifted from her seat. She wasn't hurt, and her bicycle was only slightly damaged.

N«w Olney, 111., which has not been without saloons iu fifty years, has gone dry. Leading papers of St. Louis, Mo., aay that the Prohibition Union of Christian Men has already cost the liquor dealers over $100, 000. The act of prohibiting the sale of intoxicating liquors within 2(HX) feet of the national soldiers' homes at Danaville and Quincy, 111., has been approved by the governor, and is now a law. The Wine and Spirit Gazette, a leading organ of the liquor traffic, does not agree with Attorney General Griggs' interpretation of the canteen law. It says plainly: "This clause was meant to abolish the canteen entirely.'' Miss Agnes Westou, the friend of English sailors, lately celebrated what she calls her "silver wedding" with the navy; i. e.,the 25th anniversary of her beginning her work for the sailors at Portsmouth. The modest little "public house without drink," starred twenty-five years ago, has developed into a magnificent building, on which 11,000,000 has been spent. Last year it sheltered 178,527 men, who paid $79,800 for food and temperance drinks. "In your opinion, what porportion of the prisoners in your jail were brought there directly or indirectly tarougli the use of intoxicating liquors?" This question was recently submitted by the New Voice to 3,000 jailors of the country. Of these 1,017 have already replied, their aggregate experience covering about 6,000 years. The replies show that in license states and territories seventy- two per cent, of crime has been caused by drink, .while in prohibition states only thirty-seven per cent. 4s traceble to this source. The district of Columbia has the highest number, ninetyfive per cent., while So. Dakota has the lowest, nineteen per cent.

Winsted, Conn., telegram: Miss Annie Burns, an attractive young woman about 22 years old, employed by the Winsted Hosiery Company, left for Lot. Angeles, Cal.. to marry Walter Null, the owner of a large orange plantation. Alxmt a year ago she saw his "ad" in a matrimonial paper for a wife, and she answered it. They have been co ^ponding since then, and Saturday lie received $80 which he sent her to use in going to California. Null is supposed tf' be very wealthy, and as Miss Burns is extremely good-looking, her friends think that both are fortunate. On the same train upon which Miss Burn-? started was Miss Ida Newbro, who is returning to Los Angeles. Three years ago she left her home In that place to come here and marry Irving W. Dean, foreman in the Morgan .Silver Plate Company, and a man of some means. They became engaged through correspondence brought about by a newspaper ""ad." She secured $300 from him for her expenses to the cast. A short time ago Mrs. Dean accused her husband of infidelity and secured a divorce and the right to assume her former name. She also secured $2,500 alimony. She sued for $10,000. It is not known where Dean is at this time. So while Miss Burns is speeding toward her future husband, orange groves and orange blossoms, Miss Newbro is returning to the scenes Of her childhood, a broken-he woman, with her little $2,500. The Farm Journal is unlike any other paper; for one thing it prints no quack medical advertisements; for another it takes five-year subscriptions and gets the paper to its subscribers the full time if they are anywhere on this planet, even if they move two or three times; if they die their heirs tfets it. Now we are going to send the Farm Journal for the balance of 1899 up to 1903 to every advance-paying subscriber to the DISPATCH, but better speak quick, as we have only a limited number of .Farm Journals to offer on these terms. STATUES OF SNOW. Produced by a Couiblntttlon of Copp«r Pipes and Llqaetied Carbonic Acid. A Paris sculptor, with an appreciation for and the power to satisfy the demand of the minute, has hit upon the novel scheme of turning out "snow statues" for such of his patrons as lean to the unique in art, says the New York Herald. Statues of any required shape are made and add greatly to the appearance of drawing rooms in the French capital. To all intents and purposes these statues are carved out of the compactly welded fleece. As a matter of fact, they are only coated with snow, the under part being made up of copper pipes, thin and light. The discovery, which has resulted In a mass or orders reaching the sculptor and a consequent substantial increase in his revenues—for be charge* "topstory" prices for his products— came in the nature of an accident. It was' while the artist was being shown the method of ice making by machinery that the plan presented itself to him. The liquefied gases, he noticed, in their trip through the copper pipes produced on the outside an appearance unmistakably that of snow. This had been caused by the deposition of the Lincoln Chair. New York Cor. St. Louis Post-Dispatch: A chair which Abraham Lincoln used in his home was sold at auction for $270. A man who is believed to represent the Lincoln Club of Chicago was the highest bidder. The chair is said to have been presented by the Illinois Central railroad to Mr. Lincoln. f uKfetmj gtepatds HI.

The daylight in the room v a s not very strong, so that his expression was difficult to fathom. At this point he broke in with— "What hind of a man was this who upoke to you?" She smiled a little, then dolefully ihook her head. "I can tell you only two things about fctini. He was young, and he was not dark—that is, his hair was not black. J should think he was several years older tnan I." "You would not know him again if Son saw him?" "I am afraid not. You see I saw him only just then." "Oh—that was the on!7 time you saw him?" "I think so, but he may hare seen me afterward without my knowing it." ''Please explain." "Well, that evening as I wa3 in my room, crying my eyes out, my uncle Bent a message to say I was to come down into the drawing-room. He had never said such a thing before. I sent back word that I would not come. He came up to my room in a towering jpassion. I was terribly frightened of him, but I was now thoroughly roused, and I still said I would not come. He beat me then—struck me several cruel blows, shook me and flung me, to the ground. After that he wont out, locking the door behind him. "I had quite made up my mind by that time. I meant to run away. My beating had frightened me and shaken me—there was a sharp pain in my Head. Terror and pride alike urged me to flee. If I stayed he would strike me again. I tied up as many things as I thought I could carry in a towel, opened my window, and dropped them down on the turf below. My room was on the most secluded side of the house, shaded by big trees. None of the kitchen windows looked out upon it. I fastened my sheets together, and knotted the top one securely to the Iron ring of my window shutter. I CHAPTER IV. Mr. Martlneau pushed his chair more closely to hers, asking with great intentness— "No more?" "No more, till the strangest part of all." A sudden movement of the junior partner's hand sent a bundle of papers to the ground. He stooped after them, and slowly replaced them. "The strangest part of all?" he said. "Yes. One morning I went for a drive. I cannot tell why I should remember this, but I do. There were three other people with me, I think— or two—I was not alone, but I cannot tell you' now in the least who they were. We went to a church. I stood by the altar, and, as far as I can recall, was married. I don't think I objected. I don't think I understood. I was like a person in a dream. I was told afterwards to write my name, and I did. I knew my name then. I don't remember anything more about it. I can't recall who was with me, or anything. I remember at last waking up in a strange room, beautifully clean, but very small, and seeing some one bending over me." '"Who are you?' I said. " 'All right, my dear,' she responded; 'you're with friends.' "It was a very strange, gradual coming back to life. I was kindly—oh, so kindly—waited upon by Mrs. Sidling and her daughter, but I was completely bewildered. I could not remember a word of what I am telling you now. I was constantly asking who I was, and why I could not remember the time before I was ill. Dr. Stelling told me not to trouble, and that everything would come in time. Meanwhile my name was the difficulty. I had 'M: L." marked on my clothes, which were all new, and, when Dr. Stelling found me, I had a piece of paper in my pocket on which I had written these words. I have the paper here." "I should like to 3ee it," said Mr. Martlneau eagerly, stretching out his hand. She handed to him a sheet of note "I GOT ON THE SILL, LAID HOLD FIRMLY, AND LIST MYSELF GO." a rery good hand at climbing—I had been up nearly every tree in the grounds. I got on to the sill, laid hold firmly, and let myself go. At the same Instant something in my head seemed to snap; everything swayed before my eyes; there was an awful sensation of numbness and sickness; my fingers relaxed their hold, and I tell heavily. "I cannot tell you what happened afterwards," iJarguerite went on after a short pause, "because I don't know. .The last thing which I distinctly remember doing WAS getting oat of that wiadow. After that come* & blank which lasted, BO they tell me, a year and more. Dr. Stelling says it was ihe ' result of being struck: on the head." "Who Is Dr. Stelli&s?" asked Mr.( Martineau. "My. old friend. I should have died., tmt tor hlaa." *T/ell—what n w e ? What Is the thins you remember?" £ next thing that X remember is *ra 1 king «p aal. tor*A by. the sea—up m—with a woman. I was not •trong. I leaned on her arm. I caarecollect more than that." paper, which had been crumpled and then smoothed out again. On it was written— "'Oh, Cathie, they have left me all alone! Do tell me what I must do. I can write no more. You know how my head goes round. He said he would come for me. You must answer this directly, or I shall not ksow where to go. The woman frightens me; she says they will not come back. MARGUERITE ULBOURNE," The young man read it through and shook his head. There wa« no date oa the letter—no address. It had evidently been written in a hurry, and by a person in a state of nervous exoltement "So much," said Marguerite, "for what I can tell you of myself. Now for what Dr. Stelling tells me. He had beea to tba. Great Western Railway station to see hit son off on a long journey; and, the train having gone, lie was strolling «p the platform when he aoftced several people stop and stare in one direction, and presently he saw me walking up and down, with the air of a person who had not the least Idea where she w,a. " 'Who is thatr *«ked la. StellJag of a porter. " 'Lady just ocme in, sir. Seems d«t of he,* mind. We don't know what to do with her. Better send for the police, d'you thick, sir?" " 'I'll speak to her; I'o a doctor," said Dr. Stelling. "It was just like hiss—he is always noble and humane! He came up to me and spoke to me very gently, asking me if I had lost my friends. X Bald 'Yes,' and at first he thought that 1 was sane, only lonely and frightened He asked me where I came from, but 1 could not remember in the least. Ho says that I cried in my eagern'ess to tell him; of course, nobody could help him, as the tickets had all been collected at Westbourne Park. He saw then that I was really very ill, and hi* anxiety to ascertain the names of my friends increased. I told him that I had been married some days ago, and that when we returned from church my uncle had said to me that he was suddenly called away and would leave me in the care of my husband, who was out for a walk. He had departed, and I had been alone ever since. I had come to London to find them all." I had written to Cathie, but could not' remember where she lived, go had been' unable to post the letter. "So much he had gleaned from me In the waiting-room, where he bad tekea me when I lapsed into utter unconsciousness. He made his resolution quickly, put me into a cab, an* drove, me to his own house. I baa brain fever, and, as he fully expected, when- I recovered I had entirely forgotten my meeting with him, and, indeed, everything that had taken place. In my pocket, besides the letter to Cathie, they fcund a couple of biscuits, wrapped in this." She held out another fragment of paper for Mr. Martineau's inspection. It was apparently a blank half sheet torn off a letter, and at the top was written, in an ugly sprawling hand— "P. S.—Leroy, of Lance Lane, E. C, ha3 a copy of the father's will. You can convince yourself if you like that the offer is genuine." "You see," said Marguerite, "that was evidently a bit of paper whieh I just picked up from somewhere to wrap my biscuits in. It may not refer to my father at all, but D.r. Stelling thought it worth while to try. It would be interesting to find my father's will." "It certainly would," said Mr. Martineau absently. "The Stellings advertised," she continued, "saying that a certain Marguerite Lilboume was to be found at their house, but no one appeared to claim her. The doctor next put in an advertlseraent 'To Parish Clerks and Others,' offering a small reward for the certiSeate of Margueri te Li 1 bou me's marriage, on or about a given date, to a person unknown at a place unknown. Still there was no resuit. One day, when I was able to walk about, clinging tightly to Mary Stelling's arm, we took a walk, intending to go to the new public gardens just opened near where we lived. As we passed a row of squalid looking houses a nun came out and passed us swiftly. The sight touched a chord in my memory. Past events came back; I was able to tell them all I have told you to-day, but from the time of my falling out of the window to the time I awoke in the Stelliugs' house all was a blank. I could tell them nothing; indeed, so vague and indistinct was this idea of my marriage that I should have been satisfied that it was a delusion had it not been for one thing." "Yes. Wfcat was the one thing?"— "This." She laid a wedding ring en the table before her. Mr. Martineau drew a locg breath. "That seems tangible," he said. "Dreadfully tangible!" she exclaimed, with a shudder. "Can you wonder that I feel I must know all? Heaven knows that I would sooner die than return to my uncle—but I must and will hear the rights of this disgraceful fraud! It is a mystery, is it not?" "It is the strangest thing I ever1 heard, and the most pitiful!" "The Stellings are very badly off,* went on Marguerite; "When they found me I had only a few coppers in my pocket—I had evidently spent whatever I possessed on my railway ticket* I could not bear to live on their kindness. I did fancy needlework for a time, managing to contribute my mite toward the housekeeping till I wan quite strong. One day, in an inspired moment, I painted some little cards for ball programmes, aad sent them to a large West End shop. They caught the public taste. Soon I had as many orders as I could execute, and I began to work hard. I not only kept myself— I put by a little; and in our happy, busy life we almost forgot that I was married." (To be continued.)

Marguerite's small figure attracted but little notice as she threaded her •way through the city with the air of * girl well used to London. Sh<» took her seat in the train at Broad street station, and was carried—through Mikimay Park' and Dalston—on to a poverty-stricken part of East London.

Hia own small private fortune he had devoted almost entirely to tho education of his son and daughter, Bernard and Mary, the former of -whom had Just obtained a mastership in a public school, havfrig passed very creditably through the university. rt was perhaps to be regretted on more than one ground that the Impecunious Bernard had fallen in love with the penniless Margtierite; yet, thrown as they had been together, it was scarcely to be wondered at. Together they walked along the dirty, hot, close streets, "Well, Marguerite, what luck?" he said. "You see I condescend to ask, though you did insist on going off by yourself in sach an independent manner?" "I gave yon Tny reasons for doing so, Bernard," *he answered, with a sigh. Her spirits were low; she was tired out. "There is not much to tell. Mr. Leroy was out; I saw his partner, Mr. MarUneau. He is going to search for the wTH^^arard let me eee It. I told him the whole story. He seemed to be greaUy interested." "Did be :glve you any sort of opinion?" "I fancy ho -thought the whole thing rather hopeless at present. We nave so llttte to go upon, you see! My ignorance of the names is so dreadful, and th-ere seems to be no way of finding five place where my uncle lived. There %ra3 nothing destinctive about the scerrery—just commonplace hedges and lane*.1. It would be cf no use to advertree for Cathie; Mr, Martineau tlilivks she would not answer.

"Well," leplied the young man, "I've been putting two and two together.and an idea occurs to me. The governor found you at Paddington—you recollect that the place you came frora was by the sea. Now, the seaside places to which cne goes by the Great Western are chiefly In. Devonshire and Cornwall. Some of the places there are so much cut of the world that it is quite possible the inhabitants don't see a London paper. I have been thinking cf offering a reward such as would really be a temptation and inserting it in all the Devonshire and Cornwall local papers." "How clever of you, Bernard!" she said; then, wonderlngly—"Mr. Martiueau never suggested that!" "Mr. Martineau hasn't such a stake to play as I have," answered Bernard, dropping his persuasive voice to a lower key. "But, to continue—the place to which they took you to marry you would probably be an out-of-theway place, yet, I think, not a very small one—they would not care to attract notice. Ah, how I wish I were a rich man for your sake, Marguerite! I would search every register in the kingdom at my own expense, but I would find the name of the man who so wronged you!" "Dear!" She looked at him wkh grateful, eloquent eyes. "tJut perhaps he married me under a false name?" «he suggested. "Of course he might have done so," he assented, with a sigh. "If, however, as I can't help supposing, he married you to obtain money^e would be rather careful to have everything strictly en regie, and would probably use his own name. Ah, Marguerite, if my old godmother would only take it into her head to die and leave me all her fortune." "Ah, Bernard, if the sky were to rain gold, it would not set me free!" "Yes, it would," he affirmed, with conviction. "You shou.d be free : ' only I had the money—free to teii me you loved me." "Bernard, Bernard, don't!"

(To be continued.) Ifloting in 8p»ln. Very fcerious disturbances were In progress at Valencia, Spain, on the li 1. Under the orders of (ion. Molto the troops occupied the streets on that date, and now hold all the strat#tfic points. At the beginning of the riots the mob placed obstacle* on the btreet railway tracks and stopped the cars, stoninjr the gendarmen when they tried to reinore the barriers. Finally the troops churned and the first bhota were fired. Several persons were wounded. In one case a bullet passed through a shop door and killed a shop assistant within. As tlie day advanced the disorders increased. Troops were stationed at many points and the artillery was held io ruadinessi. The rioters thereupon erected barricades, which the cavalry captared only after fierce figrhtinff, in which many were wonnded. About 8 o'clock in the evening the mob attacked a monastery aud the brother who was acting as gate porter was obliged to defend himself with a revolver. The mob then moved upon a Jesuit house, which had a narrow escape from being burned to the ground, the troops arriving just in the nick of time to prevent the mob from setting it on fire. Do Not Wish to be Disturbed. ! Prof. J. G. Schurman of the United States advisory commission for the ! Philippines, returned to Manila on the ; 2d from a three weeks' tour of the southern islands. He takes an entirely hopeful view of the general conditions there. The intelligent and substantial citizens desire an American pro- , tectorate. The masses are awaiting ! the settlement of the war in the island ; of Luzon before declaring themselves. They are chiefly anxious to be undisturbed. The president of the town of Santo Nicolas, in the island of Cebu, said to Mr. Schurman: "We want peace, food and prosperity. We do not wish to fight.

Parrington read a paper before a medical society of New York state in which he maintained that the standard of medicai text-books needed revision, because their teachings relative to the effect of alcohol on the human system ; were, in the light of ^modern research, entirely erraneous. At that time he stood virtually [ alone among his local! associates, | and he combated the highest au- ! thorities, who taught that, "Alco- | hoi is a useful food;' "Alcohol is ia savings/bank [of :-the tissues;" "He who eats little and drinks alcohol in moderation retains as much iu;his blood and tissues as he who eats more and drinks no alcohol;" " the form of wine or distilled spirits, alcohol is a remedy for debility of every kind," etc. Another paper by Dr. Farrington, read recently before the New York State Medical association, is filled with the most gratifying statements, and shows the rapid strides of s«ntainent and practice ; during the past decade. Dr. N. S. Davis, of Chicago, is quoted as saying: "Step by step the progress of science has nullified every ' theory on which the physician administers alcohol. Every position has been disproved." An~ other contemporary testifies that "alcohol retards and prevents and is destructive, either in large or small doses, to normal cell growth and developement." The ainourt of alcohol given to- ! day is not one-tenth of that pre- ( scribed forty years ago. In privi ate and hospital practice its use'is ; steadily declining. Life insurance companies look askance at the i moderpte drinker, and either refuse outright to accept the risk or take it with certain qualifications. Railroad companies tirrn a cold shoulder to all applicants for positions when the faintest suggesof whiskey is detected, knowing, to their sorrow, that even a moderate indulgence in alcohol clouds the brain and places a leaden; hand upon muscular powers. Numerous churches that formerly used wine at the communion service now use the unferment^d juice of the grape. Public and state ceremonies are often celebrated without liquors of any kind. The inauguration of the President of the United States and governors of states—once little more than bacchanalian revellies— are now diguifien occasions, inspiring respect and patriotism. Social gatherings of all kinds are frequently held without wine, champagne or other intoxicants. Alcoholic liquors, as a beverage, Imve never been so unpopular, so direputable as today, and no one, man or woman, can habitually in- -inlu'e in them without losing business or social cast. We«k.

Judge Newkirk, of Ann Arbor, Has a Plan for Caring for the Insane. The present condition of the insane asylums in Michigan is deplorable in that they have not room for the patients deserving admission. Judge of Probate, Newkirk, makes the suggestion that an addition be built to the county house sufficiently large to take care of all the insane of the county, and that this department of the county house, in Washtenaw county, be placed in charge of the physicians of the university. Mr. Newkirk further says that he does not think the yearly expense would be greater, if as great as at present. While we do not think this would do to keep all of the insane in the county houses, it would seem a good idea to make such arrangements for keeping the many who cannot be admitted to the regular asylums on account of room. , .

' But there is OIIQ mathematical figure that us crowned above all others in tLo Bible: h is the numeral seven, which the Arabians got from India, and all following ages have taken from ihe Arabians. It stands between the figure six and the figure tight. Iu the Bible all the other numerals bow to it. Over three hundred times it is mentioned In the Scriptures, either alone or compounded with other words. In Genesis the week is rounded into seven days, and I use my text because there this numeral is for the first time Introduced In a journey which halts not until In th* close of the Book of Revelations Its monument is built into the wall cf heaven in chrysolite, which, in the strata of precious stones is the seventh. In the Bible we find that Jacob had to serve seven years to get Rachel, but 6he was well worth it: and, foretelling the years of prosperity and famine in Pharaoh's time, the seven fat oxen were eaten up of the seven lean oxen: and wisdom is said to be built on seven pillars: and the ark wa3 left with the Philistines seven years: and Xaaman, for the cure of leprosy, plunged in the Jordan seven times: the dead child, when Elisha breathed into its mouth, signaled its arrival back into consciousness by sneezing seven times: to the house that Ezeklc-l saw in vision, there were seven cteps: the walls of Jericho, before they fell down, were compassed seven days: Zechariah describes a stone with seven eyes: to cleanse a leprous house, the door must besprinkled with pigeons' blood seven times: in Canaan were overthrown seven nations: on one occasion Christ cast out seven devils: on a mountain he fed a multitude of people with seven loaves, the fragments left filling seven baskets: and the closing passage* of the Bible are magnificent and overwhelming with the Lxnag- The total value cf the gifts at r. recent New York wedding amounted to ever two million dollars. presenting an income of over cne hundred thou- E?.r.d dclinr^ a yer.r Since c"-r~m '!> Vrces that tht..o gifts lo . eci.oiocdLeu et futr.re weddings in the doiMirs1 families, the pecuniary consideration is tioubled. Marriage laws in, Pue;to Rico have recently been reformed by this government,, and the onerous f-ejzs \ Which often prevented a marriage abol- j Isnexj. Is there not room for a reform i in our own marriage customs, when •the gifts at a wedding set the pace for < a mode of life whIcli most young couples are quite usable to csntiuue without financial disaster? Secretary Wilson of the DeparLzaeat of Agriculture has been in South C^r- j oiina recently, and from his study of | local conditions in that state gives J an inUresLtsg account of the opportunities for its development. The tea plant, for example, he says, is as promising to the latitude cf Souih Carolina as the sugar teet !s to the northwest; where many mWion3 of dollars have teen invented in «its culture. There is already one, tea farm ia South Carcliaa. * Its proprlstcr doe? not attempt to compete with the cheaper teas of the Orient but father wlttt texs of sagepkar ejalitx^ Last year he-maie thirty-flVe hundred pounds pi black tea. which retailed- at about one dollar a- pound. • •.

Yea. the numeral seven seems a favorite with the divine mind outside as well as inside the Bible, for are there not ?even prismatic cdlorsr? And when God with the rainbow- wrote the comforting thought that the world w ^ H never have another deiuga, fr; Viotti it on iLe fcc.oii of the sky in ink of seven colors. He grouped into the Pleiades seven stars. Rcrae, th2 capital of the world, sat on seven hills. When Gcd would make the most Intelligent thing on earth, the human countenance, he fashioned it with eevNen features—the two ears, the two eye,s, the tv.-o nostrils and the mouth. Yea, our body lasts only seven years, aid we gradually shed it for another body after another seven years, and" so on, for we are, as our bodies, septennial animals. So the numeral seven ranges through nature and through revelation. It is the number of perfection, and so I use it while I ppcak of the seven candlesticks, the seven stars, the seven seals and the seven thunders. • • • The ministers are net all Pecksniffs and canting hypocrites, as some would have you think! Forgive me, if having at other times glorified the medical profession.—and the legrvl profession and the literary profession—I glorify my own. I have seen them In their homes and heard them in their pulpits, and a grander array of men never breathed, and the Bible figure Is not strained wlfeif Tt c:aTIs~them stars: end whole constellations of glorious ministers have already taken their places on high, where they shine even brighter than they shone on earth; Edward N. Kirk, of the Congregational Church; Stephen H. Tying, of the Episcopal Church; Matthew Simp^n , of the Methodist Church; Joan I>owlin,g, of the BaptlRt Church; .Samual KL Talma «e, of the Presbyterian Church; Themas DeWitt, of tae Balowned Church; John Chambers, of the Independent Church; and -tber* I fttop, for 1t so happens that I have mentioned the seven stars of the aeven churches. I pan on to another mifhty Bible •even, and they are the seven seals. 8t. John in vision saw a scroll with seven •eali, and fe* heard an angel cry, " is worthy to loose the seals thereof Take eight or ten sheets of foolscap F-jste them together .aad coll , tnem into a ecroii, and have the scroll i at Beven different places sealed with sealing wax. You unroll the scroll till you conio U> one of these seals, and tben you can xo no further until you break that seal; then unroll again until you como to another seal, and you I can go no further until you break that ! seal; then you go on until all the seven teals arc broken, and the contents of the entire scroll are revealed. Now, that scroll with seven seals held by the angel was the prophecy of what was to come on the earth; it meant lbat the knowledge of the future was wjth God, and no man and no angel vaa worthy to open it; but the Bible says Christ opened it and broke all the seven seals. He broke the first teal and unrolled the scroll, and there was a picture of a white horse, and that means prosperity and triumph for the Roman esiplre, and so it really came to pass that for ninety years vlrtuoiid emperors succeeded each other— Xorva, Trajan and Antoninus. Christ in the vision broke the second seal an 1 unrolled again, and there was a picture of a red horse, and that meant bloodshed, and so it really came to pass, and the next ninety years were red wkh assassinations and wars. Then Christ broke the third seal and unrolled it, and there was a picture of a b lac is horse, which in all literature means famine, oppression and taxation; ajiil so It really cane to pas3. Christ wer.t on until he broke all the seven seals and opened all the scroll. Well, the future of all of us is a sealed scroll, and I am glad that no one but Christ can open It. Do not let us Join that class of Christians in our day. who are trying to break the seven seals of'the future. They are trying to peep Into things they have no business with. • • • There Is another mighty seven of the Bible, viz.. tho seven thunders. What these thunders meant we are not told, and there has been much guessing about them; but they are to come, we are toid, before the end of all things, and the world cannot get along without them. Thunder is the speech of lightning. There are evils in our world which must be thundered down, and which will i*equire at-least seven volleys to prostrate them. We are all doing nice, delicate, soft-handed'work, in churche* aad- r^^rmatoTji--rmrtltu-"1 tiens. againsrthe'ovils .of the world, and rcxuch of it amounts to a teaspoon dipping out tho Atlantic ocean, or a j clam sheil figging a'.vay at a mountain, or a tack hammer- smiting the Gibraltar. What is needed is thunderbolts, and at least seven of them. There is the long line of fraudulent commercial es>ta^nEhments,'every atone in .the foundation, and evecy briCk- In the wall, and-every nail in the rafter made out of dishonesty; skeletons of poorly paid sewing girls' arms in.every beam cf that establishment; human nerves worked into every figure:of thut embroidery; blood in the deep dye" of that refulgent upholstery;' biilloftS of dollars cf accumulated fraud entrenched in massive storehouses, and stock companies manipulated by- unscrupulous men, until the monopoly is defiant of all earth and heaven. How •'-ill'the p"il be c"crc-~:? By trca- .Lii cu the m^.ihn: Hcn<53iy is the best policy? Or the loft rcpetit!<$a of the golden rule that we must "Db to others as we wculd«have them do-to U3?" No, it will not be done thai way. What is needed and v/iil come is the seven thunders. There is drunkenness backed up by a capital mightier than in ajiy other business. Intoxicating liquors enough in thi; country to float a navy. Good grain to the amount of C7,950,000 bushels annual^ . destroyed to make the deadly liquid. Breweries, distilleries, gin shops, rum palaces, liquor associations, our nation spending annuall7 seven hundred and forty millions of dollars for rum, resulting in bankruptcy, disease, pauperism, filth, assassination, death, illimitable woo. What will stop them? High license? No. Prohibition laws? No. Churches? No. Moral suasion? No. Thunderbolts will do it; nothing else will. Seven thunders! Yonder are intrenched Infidallty and Atheism with their magazines of literature scoffing at our Christianity; their Hoe printing presses busy day and r.i.gLt. There are their blaspheming "apostles, their d'runken"" Tom PaJues and libertine Voltaires of the present as well a3 the past, reinforced by all the powers of darki.es3 from highest demon to lowest imp. What will extirpate those monsters of infldellty apd atheism? John Brown's shorter catechism about "Who made you?" or Westminster catechism about "What is the chief end of man?" No. Thunderbolts! The seven thunders! For the impurities of the world empalaced as well as cellared, epanletted as well as ragged, enthroned as well a* ditched; for corrupt legislation which at times makes our atate and , national capitals a hemispheric stench; for superstitions that keep whole nations in squalor century after century, their Juggernauts cruihing, their kni*«s laceratlttf, their Waters drowning, their funeral pyres turning, the seven Uiunderal Oh, men and women, disheartened r..t the bad way things often go, hear you not a rura*llng down the «ky of heavy artillery, coming in on our side, the seven thunders of the Almighty? Dw not let us try to wield them ourselves: they are too heavy and loo fiery for ua to handle; but God can and God will; and when all mercy has failed and all milder means are exhausted.then judgment wHl begin Thunderbolts! Ddpend upon It, that what is not done under the flash of the seven candlesticks will be done by the trampling of tne seven thunders. But I leave this Imperial and multlpotent numeral seven, where the Bible leaves It, imbedded in the finest wall that was ever built, or will be constructed, the wall of heaven. It is the seven strata of precious stone3 that make up that wall. After naming six of the precious stones in that wall, the Bib** cries out—"the seventh chrysolite?" The chrysolite is an- exquisite gre^h, and in thafr seventh layer of the heavenly wall shall be preserved forever tho dominant color of the earth wo once inhabited. I have sometimes betm saddened at the thought that this world, according to science and revelation, is to be blotted out of existence, for It is such a beautiful world. But here in thU layer of the heavenly wall, where the numeral seven is to be imbedded, the strata of green is to be photographed, and embalmed, and perpetuated, tlie color of the grass that covers the earth, the color of forage that fills the forest, the color of the deep sea. One glance at that green chrysolite, a million years after this planet has been extinguished, will bring to mind just how It looked in summer and spring, and will say tc those who were born blind on earth, and never saw at all in this world, alter they have obtained full eyesight In heaven: "If you would- know how the earth appeared in June and August, look at that seventh layer of the heavenly wall, the green of the chrysolite." And while we stand there and talk, spirit with spirit, that old color of the earth whicb had" more sway than all tae other colors put together,will brln-g back to us our earthly experjenc?s, and noticing that, this green chrysolite 13 the seventh, layer of crysta'Tzed magnifleence, we may tfetnfnk ourselves of the dominrftion Of that iMfraeral eeven overall other numerate, and thank God that ^n-the dark earth we left behind i:s we so Ions eflj^v^i the'llg-bt of the seven gotdtji eanlll€3tickgi and were all of UA permitted <&> shine among the seven stars-of" more ,&r le=s magnitude, and that all th£»even seals of^Hte" mysterious future*n^ave'"ybeea broken wide open for 'iKt:Ujr a loving Christ, .and that the seven thunders having done their7 work have cease! reverberation, *uid tli&i the numeral seven, whjch di< eu-ch tremendous work in £he history,, of nations on earth, hai be.cqi givca such * high place in that Niagara of colors, the wall cf h?aven, "th-e first foundation of which is J is per; the second, sapphire; the tlikd, i- chalcedony; the fourth, emerald; the fifth, sardonyx; the sixth,, sardlus; the seventh, chrysolite."

Over the hill in the late sunshine of 5 o'clock came Pink and Harry, walking and talking, he hatless and smiling, she grave; both desperately Interested. Pink held a daisy in her hand. Within ten yards of the house they seated themselves upon a rock, Pink still twirling the daisy. I saw that Pink wa3 pulling it to pieces, and that Harry's face grew by turns hopeful and sad. "Not!" I heard him exclaim once, then he reached out and got another flower, which Pink pulled to pieces. "Not!" again, he echoed, as Pink parted her pretty lips and shook her head. "It is all nonsense, anyway," he added. But I could see by Pink's face that she did not agree with him. "I'll leave it to a mutual friend," said Harry at last, as Pink continued to shake her head. "Come down," calling to me, "and settle the dispute—and my fate," I heard him add. On a big rock sat Pink with Harry beside her, the daisy petals scattered around her. There was an awkward pause as I stood at the rock. Pink looked at Harry pleadingly, but found no mercy. "It's this way. you see," said Harry, nervously. "I know it isn't—well—you see—the fact is that I have asked MIES Pink to marry me and she has.—r" "Asked the daisies," put In Pink, softly. "And they said," ventured I. "That he loved me not," almost whispered Pink. And then the whole plot dawned upon me. These two silly young per- "See how thU one comes ou:," said .-.e, and a» he spoke I thought I saw him pull out one of the petals. "Try this one," said he. Pink took It, Harry looking on, but I thought he seemed less nervous about results. Carefully Pink's pretty fingers traveled over the petals, pulling them out as she tald: "He loves me; he lorej me not"— "Well," said Harry. "He loves met" announced Pink. "What did I tell you?" said Harry. "But—yesterday!" "No matter," Insisted Harry; "the daisies know—today." And frcm their happy faces, when I saw them walking together In the evening on the veranda, I knew that Pink thought so, too.—New York Evening World. STRANGE FRIENDS. Horses as a rule are particularly docile, and eo it ia not surprising to find instances of friendship between them and smaller animals, though occasionally the choice of their companions is not a little strange. Many are the cases of mutual affection existing between horses and cats, the most famous being that between Godolphin Arab and a black cat, which on the death of his equine friend refused to leave the body, and on being driven away retired to a hayloft, refused food and died of a broken heart. More strange, however, was a case, the truth of which is vouched for, in which a horse struck up an acquaintance with a hen and displayed immense satisfaction whenever she came into his stall and rubbed against hi3 legs, clucking greeting to her friend. Dogs and horses generally geit on \;eU together, but the following story also. ; It will itnpui$e« tfeat have j accumulating in yoar blew! and will greatly strengthen your nerve*. afcoot ««»eV Thar* nwjr be •oB ynur o u t you do uot r how y«u * * om l «Riee.

Low«Tl, HE LOVES ME, sons had been trusting their future happiness to the petals of a daisy. ; "I picked them off, one by one," said Pink, gathering courage, "and I said: 'He loves me, he loves me not,' and it came out, 'He loves me not.' " "Try again," I ventured. • "I did try—three times," said Pink. "And so she has refused me," said Harry, lifting an injured face from the rock on which he was leaning. • There was nothing more to be said, for before I could put in a word Pink sprang up and ran toward the house as fast as she could go and we did not see her again until evening. Then she appeared ia a long pink cloak, desbecoming to her, and walked the veranda for half an hour,alone. • Harry epoke to her o n e , but she hung her head and did not answer him, and there were tears on her lashes. \ Of course that sort of thing could not t» endured long, so next day Harry. after vainly watching and waiting for Pink to put In an appearance—she breakfasted in her room—sauntered down to the rock and seated himself behind it. Soon there was a rustle, and to the self-same place came Pink, flushed as from crying, and not seeing htm^t all. • J^vertbeles.8, it was to -the aame njcK that thj>y both .called me later to seaj a new chapter 4n the daisy story.

A carriage horse, accompanied by his Etable companion, a retriever dog, to which he was exceedinly attached, was drinking at a trough near the exchange. While the dog was waiting for his friend to finish his draught a large mastiff picked a quarrel with him which ended in a fight. The mastiff, as may be supposed, had the better of the battle, and the retriever was severely bitten. The horse, from the moment he heard his friend's cry, broke from the man who was holding him, hurried to the rescue, and after Weking the-mastHT acrowr returned to the trough and finished bis driak.

The first thing necessary to save the p*gs in cold weather is a good warm hogbouse with a stove in it, writes P. W. Peterson in American Swineherd. I have one 48 V, long, 20 ft. wide and 8 It. high, with a row of 7 pend on each side, with an alley through the center. One of tUese peas I use foe my stove. On eacL side of the stove I put the sows that wjll farrow first, and between them a^d the stove I have a pieca of Page vire hog fence to keep the sows from getting to the stove. Through this wire fence the sows have the full benejlt of the heat from the stove at the time of farrowing. 1 always stay with the sows until through or see that frojaeone is there, and as soon as a pig is farrowed I take it away and wipvi it off with a gunny svtck, which I have hanging by the eiove so as to have it nice and warm co receive thu little beauties in. After they are made as clean as I can make them I put thvna in a small box with some chaff in it which is placed close by the stove a ad kept warm. All the pigs from the same litter go into thU bcx, and it dos't take but a few xninut2s until the/ are perfectly dry and commence to scramble for something to drink. Ah *oon as the sow is done laboring and the pigs all dry I tako thrtm and put '.hem to their mother and sec that they all get hold of a teat and as soon as sh4 ha3 let down her milk I iake the youngsters away and put th«m in the box by the stove again for another hour and then feed them ag&.in. I keep this up for two days; at khat age I let them stay with their mother. If I have no sows to farrow right away 1 let these stay by the sto>e and it tmly takes a day or two unt:l tfiose little fellows will crawl through that #ire fence and go and lie dowu under the stove. It does one good to see Low they appreciate it. I hav«> portable pariitions in my hoghouse, so thi.t when the second litter com** I move the first liUer one pen further away from the stove, and wher- the thud one comes I move both the Jirst and second litter another pen further off fiom the stove, and it goes on so until the house is filled. A little pig can stand a good deal of cold after he is a few days old if he did not catch cold during his birth. I believe that most of the pigs that die while young die f^om catching cold when they are farrowed; too sudden a change in teropferatuie. On this hog-house of minp. I hav^ a small separate yard for each pen w t h a door leading into the pen of each sow and during the warm day3 I opeM these doors for the sows that have i-igs one week old and drive them out in the sun, which is very necessary for young pigs. About 10 days before rny sows are ready to farrow I gradually lessen their feed so as to not heve them make so much udder at farrowing time; if fed regularly and on full feed the old sows as a rule will give more milk than the pigs can dis- What a Little Faith Did FOR MRS.

TTIlHani 8prpnPs Store B.oken Into aid P i l l d Robbers Only Made SJmaU Haul. Three Men Arrested and Held lor Trial. On Thursday night, July 13, while all honeat people were asleep, the stove and postoffice kept by Wm. A. Bprout, of Anderson, just west of this plai H. was broken into and three pairs of shoes, three pairs of socks, about $2.00 in change—mostly penniesenough cancty, salmon, peaches and cookies to make a good lunch, were taken. The thieve* secured a small steel bar at the blacksmith shop and tried to open the front door and after breaking a lock or two gave that up and went to the back window which they broke and there made an eaterance, breaking into the postoffiqp first sp as to give Uncle 6am a band in the deal. After securing their booty, they went to the Ey. track and ate a lunch, changing their old shoes for new; this afterward proved a bad move on their part as the new shoes left tracks which were plainly discernable, and they w«r«rtracked to Chelsea by L. W. Whitedjind Fred Sprout who caused their arrest. The three men were brought to Howell add held for examination which was Ueld here' Monday, they being brought back. Plenty of evidence was (riven a^inst them and they were bound over to August 81, when the eireuit court eon^«n«8r They **ve their names as, Jas. H. Murphy, Ind.; Frank Cavenaugh, Toledo; and Frank Miller, Ft. Wayne. T RQ gocd revolvers, some cartridges and a pint bottle about half full of powder, was found hid near where they were arrested; also two sacks containing $1.35 in pennies, and four ladies1 watch chains. The money left in the till outside the poetoffice was all in pennies, and Mr. Sprout testified that there was somewhere between $1 25 and $1.50 but could not remem- W just how many. One or two of the men were seen around Pinckney Thursday, and one at least, boarded the freight—on the truss rod—the evening of the robbery. They are evidently the ones wanted not only for this oflense, but several others in and about the county. LOCAL NEWS. Corn, in thin locality is looking excellent, and promises a big crop.

The average estitaaated yield is eight bushels per acre In the Northern counties, where threefourths of the crop is raised, eight in *he central counties, 11 in the northern counties and eight for the state.

Here ia the very latest game gotten up by promissory note swindler^ and worked in southwestern Michigan. A well dressed man of clerical appear* ancedrives up to a farmhouse and asks permission to stay for the night. Before the family and their guest retire for the night a man and woman stop a t tae house and inquire the way to the nearest minister, saying they wish j r e s e r * o i r t e no pain or evil effects from the bite. The tirat noticed of this terrible malady was the queer action of Mrs. Ndsjett on the above date. Sho had harnessed herself to a rijr, taken tho bits iu her mouth nnd had drawn the buggy about a qunrter of u mile. Several neighbors took her homo and locked her in the barn, where she began to eat hay in a ravenous manner. Doctors pronounce it a clear case of hydrophobia. The patient barks, sptts nnd foams at the mouth, and her suffering is terrible to witness. The physicians have strapped heron a bed, in which position she will probably remain until death comes to relieve her of her terrible agony. Will Have to be Settled In the Courts. Tho Michigan Sugar Co., of Bay City, maintains that the bounty law of ]8'.>7 is constitutional, but Atty.-Uen. Oren snys it is not. Two weeks ago, Land Commissioner French issued a certificate showing that 8-4.00) was due for sugar maiiufnctureJ in January «nrt February of this year, Dix referred the matter to the attorney-general'for an opinion as to his right t©\ draw a warrant for tho payment of the amount from the general fund. The attorneygeneral has concluded that the expense is not a general expense of the state government ou which tho legislature can predicate a tax under section 1, article 14, of the constitution, which says that "The legislature shall provide for ah annual tax, suibVient with other resources, to pay the estimated expenses of the state government, tire interest of the state debt, and such deficiency as may occur in the resource*," This squarely raises the question as to the constitutionality of the law. For a National Filter. The fact that in the near future a filtering- plant to cost £30.000 will be a necessity at Lal;e Ootfuac, the source of Battle Creek's water supply, has caused a, novel suggestion. In the lake, near pumping station, is Ward's island, composed of sand and gravel. The suggested experiment is that a in the center of this t o get married. The guest says he is a clergyman and offers his services. A •'marriage certificate" is filled out T*1\*T the ceremony has been gone larongh with, and the farmer and his wffeare asked to sign it as witnesses.

When the door closed upon Marguerite Lllbourne, as ahe left the lawyer's ofllce in Lance Lane, Valdane Martineau walked up to it and turned the key in the lock. Then he went bapk to the table, sank down in the large armchair, leaned his arms on the hlotting paper which covered the desk, and dropped his head upon them. What was there in Marguerite's artless narrative that could have so deeply shaken the habitual composure of thi^ man of the world? The bowed head did not stir for upwards of half an hour. Valdane Martineau was alone in the company of a thousand evil thoughts, the phantoms of a discreditable past. Presently he raised his head, the powerful hand which lay on the desk was clinched, and through his set lips came one wpr^: "Traitor!'\ Re pushed Ij'ack.hls chair, and begnn to pace the room as if- rest were iu- AFTER 1O2 YEARS "Spoliation CUtw" of 90.009 U Ordered to be P*«ld to the Umln.

Io HOT one Gideon Leet followed the business of shipping merchant at one ot tho ports on the Atlantic co;w»t, and was tho owner of a half interest in the brig* Matilda. On one of her voyages and while laden -with a valuable cargo of &ugar and rum, the Matilda was captured by a French privateer. The crew were plven a leaky boat and two days' provision and sent afloat Dy good fortune they made a lauding- somewhere, but the exact spot is UQI kuown, and reached their way horn*. They made known to Mr. Leet. the circuuat>ta-n<$ea of the capture aod he filed a claim with congress for the value of his half-interest in the vessel and cargo, which he placed at §9,000. This was presented to the French government, alonjr with a number of other "spoliation claims," nod ariiastment was indefinitely postponed. When the present state of Louisiana was ceded to the United fctatss by France, the former country's claim agaiust the latter were wiped off tho books, but tbe government of the United States assumeyd the "spoliation claims." Gideon Leet's claim bobbed up in congress aftep. tfotet u u t was relegated to the dustbin pigeon-hole. Then Mr. Leet dropped it and came to Michigan and settled on Grosse Isle, where he died, intestate, in 1820. Judge Durfee in settling the claim made an order that tbe amount allowed by conpress should be divided amoog the executors or administrators of the estates of Gideon Leet's six children. flio Not Grasp attheShadongp and Lose the Substance/0' "That she should har* Op^ne* to of all men, in the ivo.rljj<'' .he . said aloudl "talk of poetical justice—talk of the Irony, of fate!

The Spaniards, on the contrary, were furnished with double rations of grog daring the time of naval engagement. Experiments made in the British army to ascertain the effects of alcohol upon the physical endurance of the troops have result" ed in the banishment by the British war department of spirits, wine and malt liquors from the officers' mess table as well as from the regimental canteen, and from the generals in command down to the drummer boys and camp followers, liquid refreshments have been coufiiied to "tea and oatmeal water." In the SoudAn campaign the Englishman had to go without his beer and the Scotchman without his whisky, but the power of endurance of the troops more than fulfilled all expectations.

BegtUar Xeetias; of the 8tate Board of Health. Tne Michigan State board of Health met in regular session at the Capitol at Lansing July 1445. The members present wera Hon. Frank Wells, president, of Lansing; Prot. Delos Fall, of Albion; Dr. Fred R Belknap.of Niles; Judge Aaron V. McAlvay of Man istee; Dr. D. A. McLaehlan of Detroit: and secretary Henry B. Baker. The secretary presented a letter frein John P. MpKinlay, secretary of of the board of health of Detroit, asking the hoard to assist in the pro* ceedings against the physicians oi Detroit for failing to report the existence of consumption. He also presented a letter irom prosecuting attorney of Wayne county asking that be supply evidence'relative to the contagiousness ot consumption. The secretary was authorized to present evidence and go to Detroit if necessary. .Prot. Fall made a report relative to his investigation at Hastings on the sanitary conditions in that city. He stated that old wells were being used for cesspools and there is a question of inMuence on the water supply. Pro.1. Fall was made a committee to continue the investigation and advise with the health officials at Hastings. A statement was presented relative to the distribution of the pamphlet "Michigan a Summer Resort State'1 to editors and others in the states southward, made apparent that, on account of the distribution of this publication, thq summer resorts of Michigan are be^ipg patronized more than heretofore, Relative to the examination of the plans, specifications and sites for two proposed new buildings at the Pontiac Asylum for Insane, when they are ready, the Board will visit Pontiac for that purpose. Dr. MuLaahlan suggested the ap pointtnent of an advisory council to consist of prominent persons in different parts of the state, to aid the Board in the accomplishment of its purposes. Thb secretary called attention to the fact that small-pox was widespread throughout the United States, and at the eQd of June there were many cases in Indiana, it being present in 22 counties. The danger from the spread of this disease seems to be great, and the Board believed that every effort should be made to pre vent its spread when introduced into Michigan. The disease in other localities is comparatively mild, but a mild case of small pox is liable at any time to cause severe cases. Then again the disease is more prevalent and the mortality is much greater in the win ter. The Board believed that the citizens of Michigan should take this occasion to be vaccinated and thus make themselves proof against contracting the disease. Successful vaccination is an absolute prevention and all those not having been success tolly vaccinated within the past five years should be as soon as practicable with reliable virus. With reliable virus there is practically no danger from vaccination. The Board author ized the publication ot a Teachers' Sanitary Bulletin, on the Restriction and Preventation of small pox, Vac cination and Re-Vaccination. The secretary was authorized to collect information relative to the isolation or non-isolation of consumptives at various state asylums for the insane with a view to compiling the data for comprehensive study and subsequent conference with the officials who con trol those institutions.

Paul was hero caluug th.e umg roll of the world's villainy, and he puts in the midst of this roll those persons known in all cities and communities and places as whisperers. They are so cal'ed because they generally speak under Voice and in a confidential way, their hand to the side of thai* mouth acting as a funnel to keep the precious information from wandering into the wrong ear. They speak softly, not be? cause they have lack of lung force, or because they axe overpowered with the spirit of gentleness, but because they want to escape the consequences of defamation. If no one hears but the person whispered nnto and the offender be arraigned, he can deny the whole thing, for whisperers are always first-class liars! Some people whisper because they are hoarse from a cold, or because they wish to convey some useful information without disturbing others; but the creatures photographed by the apostle in my text give muffled utterance from sinister and depraved motive, and sometimes you can only hear the sibilant sound as the letter "S" drops from the tongue into the listening ear, me brief hiss of the serpent as it projects its venom. Whisperers are masculine and feminize, with a tendency to majority on the sides of those who are called "the lords of creation." Whisperers are heard at every window of bank cashier, and are heard in all countingrooms as well as In sewing societies sad at meetings of asylum directors and managers. They are the worst foes of society; responsible for miseries innumerable; they are the scavengers of the world, .driving their cart through ev*ry community;*&n* today, I hoW,up for your holy anafc&eqja^and execration theqe whisp«r«jy From the frequency .with, speaks olj ifceauuftdei conclude that he must somewhat from th«m.

If I should in a pialii •way, calling you by name, charge you with fraud, or theft, or murder, or uncleannes3, tomorrow .morning I might have peremptory documents served on me, and I would have tc pay in dollars and cents for the damage I had done your character. But these creatures spoken of in my text are so small that they escape the fine-tooth comb of the law. They go on, and they go on, escaping, the judges and the Juries aad the penitentiaries. The district attorney cannot find them, the sheriff cannot find them, the grand jury cannot find them. Shut them'offfrom one route of perfidy and they start on another. You cannot by the Why, our neighbor, paor thing, came down off the steps in a flood of tears. That brute of a husband has been abusing her. Well, it's just as Z expected. I saw him the other afternoon very 6mlllng and very gracious to some one who smiled back, and I thought then I would just go up to him and tell him he h&d better go home and look after his wife and family, who probably at that very time were upstairs crying their eyes out. O! Mrs. Allear, do have your husband go over and put an end to this trouble. It's simply outrageous that our neighborhood should be disturbed in this way. It's awful." The fact Is that one man or woman set on fire of this hellish spirit will keep a whole neighborhood aboil. It does not require any very great brain. The chief requisition is that the woman have a small family or no family at all, because, if she have a large family, then she would have to stay at home and look after them. It la very important that she be single, or have no children at ail, and then she can attend to all the secrets of the neighborhood all the time. A woman with u large family makes a very poor whisperer. It is astonishing how these whisperers gather up everything. They know everything that happens. There are telephone and telegraph wires reaching from their ears to all the houses in the neighborhood. They have no taste for healthy news, but for the scraps and peelings thrown out of the scullery into the back yard they have great avidity. On the day when there is a new scandal in the newspapers, they have no time to go abroad. On the day when there are four or five columns of delightful private letters T iOME GOOD JQKES > AND Pa^ul foree of moral them to desist. sentiment persuade You might as well read the Ten Commandments to a flock of crows, expecting them to retreat Wider the foripe of moral sentiment.

MeCOftjgfcifrv w m t ft J, LYNCH, TOU You will d wcon»wy In A clga haaglsg above a little ahop told the world of Hiyaide that Miaa Jan« Dody, milliner, bad started in Until this 8lgn appeared Haysider* bad been obliged td tlrive to Nesburg 6r seid to the city for their millinery and Mvlns formed the habit it waa a question whether they would bfeak it and patronize the new establishment. Mias Jane did not know many town people, for she had lived in the eotintry with an old aunt, who had lately died, leaving her a legacy of 9300. It waa a small capital, but being entirely dependent on her own exertions Miss Jane decided to start a millinery shop. She was old enough to decide tor herself, being almost 40, but she was a timid woman and thought it better to ask Mr. Hope's advice first. Mr. Hope was president of the bank, an old friend of her aunt's and much admired and respected by herself. He was Ju3t entering hte •seventies, but many a man of 50 envled\bjs vitality and ycuthfulness. of feeling. He was a widower and lived aloue in the "great houie" cf the village, where he dispensed hospitality and charity with an 6?en hand. Rich, Influential and busy, he yet had time to listen to any tale of distress or give advice when requ?i>rd. Mr. Hope had always liked little Miss Jane and was more than willing to listen to her plans and help her all he could. She was shown into his private office at the bank, blushing' like one of the roses she held In her" Inndi and making quite a pretty picture. "1 have 5300, you know, Mr. Hope.' Wrfuld you aQvfte'ine.to start a milling ery shop with it or save it anrf^gb'io" the1 city to get employment?"1 she' asked. Mr. Hope kndw how difficult It would , be for a woman like Miss Jane, untrained aud timid, to get work in the city, and quickly told her it would be best to try the shop end he was sure sne woujd get oa well. "bring on the best goods you can get and you will be sure to. succeed. Everybody will buy from yo.u. I dou't wear bonnets myaelf," he added, laughing, "but I'll send all my friends to you." At the close of thl3 interview tht prospective milliner left the bawker with a light heart and had visions of a little shop expanding in time to a great establishment, wh^re she herself was mistress of a great arm/ or assistants. In a short while the new store wa3 opened to the public, its pwne.r having, stocked,up in the city and bought a small but iiahdsor.'.e line of goods t? to turn thU into Cowers and feathers and ofher requisites of her trade, or would it be flying in tho face of providence to use it? "Use it by all means, Miss Jane. Times are looking up, business is- golug to revive and I am sore your money will be more than doubled/' he answered. Again acting on hie' advice she bought the best her money would buy and began to prepare for, her "fall opening." Her nimble fingers copied pattern hats and dainty bonnets until resting in her showcase and oa the battprnas w,$re as. tasty and .enticing a lot of head covering as had ever been seen by the town. The sight before the opening she retired late, but woke up from a dream of being choked to find her room full of smoke. Almost stifled she threw on her wrapper and groping her way to the door ran out into the street crying "Fire!" The house was a double one and the other side was already wrapped in flames when Miss Jane gave the alarm and the other tenants, whose carelessness had caused the fire, baraly escaped with their lives. Poor Miss Jane stood in the street wringing her hands rn desnatr while1 the cruel flames devoured her pretty hats and bonnets, as if they were but a delicious morsel, until a kind neighbor came and led her home. The "opening day" had arrived, the little Lilllinery shop was open, in very truth, to the public, but there was nothing but ashes to gaze on. Black despair, starvation, even the poorhouse, stared Jane Dody in the face, as sitting by the neighbor's hearth she wept silently and dared not look into the future. '••Early in the morning Mr. Hope hfearbT'the news. He remembered it was by his advice tliat all the rahliner's money wa3 invested In that now ruined stock. Poor little woman! What could he do for lier? He could not offer her money or a home. A home? Wh> not? He smiled at the thought arftl the little milliner's sweet face, sweet though iy> longer youthful, appeared to him with new charm. Hastily leaving his hcu^e be sought and found Miss Jane. When he asked her to marry him tshe said "No" at first, for she felt sure It wa3 only pity that moved his heart. But she looked so sweet and confused when she refused him that the dear oM gentleman fell in loVe with her on the spot and succeeded in making himself, aswell its Her, believe that he had really loved her a ltfhg time and had only -awaited a favorable opportunity •of telling her. So, having no one to 'consult, they were married the very r;:;t day. hi spite of the bride-elect's protests that the haste was uns'eremly.

Having lived most of her life in the country, 'where things were had "for tho raising," groceries gotten' in exchange for country produce and no rent to pay, even the amount it took to run her little establishment was alarming to her. Anxieties would creep In occasionally. If the fall trade was not good how was she to get through the winter? Such thoughts worried her often through the week, but on Sabbaths, being ft food Episcopalian, she dismissed them and. prayer book fn hand, wended her way devoutly to the chapel.

The most primitive method in chronology is that which enables man to orient himself in the worM of time by associating particular luratlona with vicissitudes of weather, with seasonal isp*>cts of vegetation, and with the constantly changing sights and sounds of the animal world, cays Popular Science Monthly. In the calendar of the CrcBs, for example, we f»«d &uca desiga «tiona aa "duck-month," "frogmoon," . wFedSmobn," > month,?

So in the calendars of Central America and Mexico the months are named variously after the arrival of birds, the blossoming of flowers, the blowing of winds, tho return of mosquitoes and the appearance of fishes. Th3 Greeks constantly used the movements of birds to mark the seasons; the arrival of the swallow and kite were thus noted. Hesiod tells us how tho cry of the crsne signaled the; departure of winter, while the sitting of the p1eiade3 gave notice to the plowman when to begin his work.

Pierce taking poison evidently with the intent to create a little notority for himself and, in the hope of scaring a girl for whom he had a strong passion,, falsely called love, to accede to his desire and run away with him. The young man came here from William8ton last year and Fred Fish kindly allowed him to keep his shop open while he was necessarily absent and.gave him the proceeds of the barber shop; this lie took advantage of cutting rates and then starting a competing shop. He lured a young girl to run away with him on Monday evening but failed. After taking the poison he went immediately to the doctor and told him, which shows his object. He has returned to Williamston. There will be a ball game here Saturday, July 22, between Stockbridge and Unadilla. Herman Heed will work for a Mr. Bickart, near Howell, uutil his school commences here in the fall. WIRE WALKING AT Tli* 4fcdv«atun»aa NIAGARA. minute*.

A party was given last Wednesday evening in honor of Malinda Roy, at her home, it being her birth day anniversary, A large number of young people were in attendance, and good time is reported. A sadaccident occured at this j place, OD Tuesday forenoon of this week. Mrs. John Birnie* while drawing water from the cistern had the misfortune to fall in. The family were all away from home and it was not known how long she had been there, but it was supposed to be about two hours, as she was seen at ten o'clock. She was not found until her husband came to his dinner. Although nearly gone, with hard work and careful attention by the family and friends she was revived, and under the care of Dr. Sigler hopes are entertained for her recovery, work, moreover, having to be done during the night to avoid Interference from the cautioui residents. Not many people witnessed Blondln's first crossing, the Impression having been general that the man was insane or would fall at t^e last moment When he had accomplished the feat, the utmost amazement was expressed, which, however,* was again turned to Incredulity when he announced that he would cross the wire again, and this time with a man on bis back—Darry Colcourt, Blondln's business manager, a man weighing one hundred and fifty-five pounds. The feat was successfully accomplished on the afternoon of August 17, 1859, amid roars of applause from the multitude that looked on. On August; 24th in the same year, Blondin crossed on the rope chained hand and foot, and on his return carried with him a cooking stove on which he made an omelette, In the summer of the following year he had the cable removed to a point below the suspension bridge, and Immediately over the whirlpool rapids, where he gave several further exhibitions, one being on August 2, 1860, when the Prince of Wales and the governor-general of Canada looked on. Before Blondin started, the Prince, having looked at the wire and the rapids, became nervous, went to Blondin and begged him not to make the attempt But the rope-walker smiled, •ai d it was not so dangerous as It looked, and soon went across with Oolcourt on his back. There have been many imitators of Blondln. In 1878 an Italian named Bellini stretched a wire from opposite the ferry landing to Prospect Park, and three times he jumped from the middle of the cable into the rivet and swam to shore. Steve Peer, a celebrated American wire-walker, repeated Blondin's feat on June 22, 1887 In connection with the Queen'8 Jubilee celebration on tbe Canadian side. He crossed in nineteen amateur rope-walker, thirty-eight years of age, had practiced almost daily for some weeks on a wire stretched sixty feet above the water of Toronto Bay, before he essayed taS tremendous adventure which mads Blondln so famous. This- he undertook dressed in tights and m w j« f l f, and carrying a pole twenty-two and a half feet long, weighing thirty pounds. He Bhowed no uneasiness or nervoos> ness, although slight unsteadiness of the long cable caused him to pause frequently to regain the balance that fee momentarily lost. l When he reached the center of tfcfr gorge, this amateur lay down on MB back on the wire, with his balancing pole under him. Two hundred and fifty feet below ran the furious rapids, ready to devour him should he make a misstep. He did a number of other daring feats as he aeared the other end of the wire, and finally touched soH on the American side fBhteea •dnttte s alfetr he started. A few minutes later he reappeared with a hoop around his ankles, and In this way walked out on the wire about two hundred yards. FOR SALE, HYDRAULIC CIDER PRESS and ACME JELLY PAN.

Subjects which -were expected to show differences of opinion almost impossible to reconcile were disposed of with aminimumof friction. Perhaps the most important was the scheme for serving the Latin-American episcopate from the jurisdiction and control of the Spanish primate. This was finally imposed, despite vehement protests from the Spanish church. Henceforth the .. church of South America will have a-aAfnatieanborn primate chosen by the pope^him* self.

Elsie paiil no heed to Agnes, tor the ktoment Walter approached the steps she .exclaimed: "Oh, Walter, I called on Ella May denra at the hotel this morning, and I •wmm introduced to Mr. Gilbert Downing, whose, coming has created such a furore—and, oh, he is go nice!" ana KMe'i hands came together in a clasp of delight, just as Walter set his foot cm the porch. "Oh dear, he is so nice!" and Walter mimicked Elsie's tones as he bowed smilingly to the governess. "Yea, he's so nice! I suppose you're smgry because I like him!" cried Elsie, indignantly. "Oh, yes, awful angry," and Walter laughed good naturedly. 'My dear El- «i«. I .-expected you'd agree with the general verdict 'perfectly splendid.' Why can't I squeeze tny hand into a six glove and my foot into a four boot?" and Walter looked ruefully at "Be careful, Elsie. Walter Thornton doesc't look like a man you could trifle with. I " "Oh, dear, here comes Mr. Downing now. I hope Walter didn't see him1." interrupted Elsie in 4 voice of deep alarm. The governess quickly raised her eyes. She saw a gentleman coming la the gate, and she was en her feet in an inEtant. Great cords had risen on her temples, for a moment her face was crimson from brow to chin, then the blood flowed back in its proper channels, and left her face an ashen hue. "Don't go away, Agnes. I want you to see Mr. Downing; he's really splendid!" said Elsie, and she was so.much interested'in Gilbert Downing that she did not notice the change that came over the governess. "I cannot remain longer, Elsie. I must hear Laura recite her lessons," and the governess vanished before the exquisite gentleman, who came strolling leisurely up the path, could catch a glimpse of her. The long, dai*k shadov/s of evening were fast filling the room where Agnes Wayland sat, and in the semi-darkness her face looked as if it were cut from pure white marble. "Agnes, Agnes! are you here?" "Yes, Elsie," ansv/ered Agnes, and Elsie' burst into the room. "Oh! dear, dear Agnes, it's just like you, to be mojping in the dark! I don't see how you can do it. I should die if I were kept from the light." "I hope you will always love the sunshine, darling," said Agnes, tenderly, for she had learned to love Elsie Leroy. "Oh. I couldn't exist without sunshine," said Elsie, laughing. "What made you run away this afternaan, Agnes? I wanted you to see Gilbert Downing. He is coming this evening, though, and you must come downstairs. I krio# you'UUke htm, and we'll have a real jolly time. I hope Walter will come over this evening.

"I am not at home to Mr. Downing," said Elsie, and as the servant disappeared to deliver her message, she turned to her lover, and putting her arm around his neck, she said: "Walter, I told you today I thought Mr. Downing was splendid. Well, I've changed my mind. I think he is a conceited wretch—worse than that, la fuct, and nothing can induce me to speak to him again." Elsie didn't tell Walter why she had changed her mind, but when Mr. Downing saw her in the street next day with her sister's governess he knew why Miss Leroy was not at home to him the night before, and in a few hours he had left his hotel and was seen at the watering-place no more.— New York Evening News.

If something is cot done to prevent It, Capt. James Foster, an American sapper possessing even more than the usual amount of intrepid daring and pluck generally attributed to the Yankee mariner, is about to be dispossessed by the Japanese government of a minute little island over which he has for many years exercised the absolute sway of a potentate. Capt. Foster Is somewhat of a Rob- * lnson Crusoe. The island, he says, is his by right of discovery and by right of possession, and he does not intend to give It up. It Is located on the tropic of Cancer, half way between the Hawaiian islands and China, Capt. Foster likes the location, and he likes the climate. He says it agrees with his health. The Island is five miles long and is densely covered with trees and shrubbery. A white, sandy beach surrounds it, and near its center is a knoll rising about 200 feet above the sea. Moreover, it is near the track of vessels plying between Honolulu and Yokohama, being 2,700 miles distant from Honolulu and on the direct route to Manila. Altogether, and especially since the results of the recent war have begin: to make themselves felt, Capt. Foster feels that his island, which is known as Marcus island, is a very valuable possession. So he is naturally a little out of sympathy with the Japanese movement. Capt. Foster believes in territorial expansion, but he does not -JtKe~to-se* too-muchof it, aud when, in his own words, "a lot of yellowhided, slant-eyed mongrels try to steal this island I'm going to put a stop to it." So Capt. Foster has applied to the government to interfere, and he confidently expects the government to do so. Capt. Foster discovered the island over ten years ago and received permission from James G. Blaine to raise an American flag thereon*. This was welcome news to Capt. Foster, and a few hours after it reached him the stars and stripes were raised on the island, and there mey have waved ever since, not a single great power uttering a word of protest, but all, on the contrary, tacitly, If not openly, recognizing Capt. Foater's ownership and the suzerainty of the United States. This is not surprising, for until recently no one except Capt. Foster seems to have thought the island of any value. . Capt. Foster says that he has been more fortunate than his predecessor, MT. Crusoe. The latter was forced to repel invading and piratically inclined Malays within a few months after taking possession of his island, whereas only recently, Capt. Foster says, has such a duty fallen upon his shoulders. ALGER RESIGNS. The Secretary of War hat Tendered Bli K«*lgnatlon to the President. Secretary Aljjer on the 19th tendered to the President his resignation of the war portfolio. The resignation will become effective Aug. 1, though it was tendered '*at the pleasure of the President." Gossip has begun already as to his successor, but is entirely speculative, for notwithstanding the reports that Mr. Alger would not long continue at the head of the war department, his actual resignation came suddenly and unexpectedly. No official statement as to the cause of the resignation is procurable either from the President or from Secretary Alger, neither of whom would talk on the subject. Nor was the letter of resignation obtainable at this time. For the present, nothing will be made known officially concerning the severance of the official relations between the President aad his war minister, but later on the official correspondence closing the latter's career as chief of the war department doubtless will be given to the press; One I>eft of a Party of Twelve. The loss of 12 members of the steamer Elk expedition to Kotzebu sound is reported from St. Michaels by the steamer Roanoke. Twelve men perished at various points along the trail between thei Selawick and Koyukuk rivers. Scurvy fell first upon them, then starvation and frost. Mrs. VV. H. Bens, of Hay City, was the only survivor. The story of the death of this parly was told by Mrs. liens, who was brought in from the head waters of the Koyukuk river the day before the Roanoke left. Mrs. Bens eseaped death on the trail, but is in danger of dying from scurvy. Her husband, her fortune and her friends were swept away by that wild trip across the Alaskan mountains. 44 Uneasy Lies the That Wears a Cr&wru**' But such JUT not the only uneAsy hc*£*m Overworked, hjurAssed, Anxious pf AU Ages And both sexes Are une*sy Aches, pains, impure blood, disordemf stomachs, derAnged kidneys And heoer.

An attempt was made to blow up the elevated structure at Fifth avenue and Thirty-fifth street in Brooklyn early on the morninjr of the 19th. The police say that it was the work of the strikers or sympathizers. One of the pillars of the structure was shattered by the explosion of dynamite and the entire base of the pillar was blown to pieces anU the sides of the pillar several feet up were torn away. fSeveral pieces of steel were thrown through neighboring houses. One piece of large size, nearly ah inch in thickness, was blown through the brick wall of a house. Reciprocity Treaty Signed.

Married men, according to a German investigator, live longer than bachelors, and are less likely to become insane. Another argument for matrimony is found in the fact that there are 38 criminals among every 1,000 bachelors while among married men the ratio is only 18 to 1,000. Experiments made last season show that ashes were very beneficial to melons, increasing the growth of the vines and inducing a larger growth of fruit. Potash largely assists in the creation of saccharine matter, thus rendering the mellon sweeter. Use the ashes around the plants liberally. It was supposed that the severe weather of last winter had seriously damaged the mint crop in southwestern Michigan, but favor. able conditions for the past few weeks have worked a wonderful change and the expectation now is for the harvesting of nearly a full crop, The harvesting will begin . in a short time/ Boston is now wondering whether the English sparrow was a nuisance or a necessary evil, since her war upon the birds she has been afflicted with a pest of bugs. The British grip is hard one to break. Even when driven out, the little feathered pests have managed to leave the impression that they are indispensable. They raise big hay in Oregon, as the clipping from the Corvallis Times will show: The "Times has another.big hay yield to report, imples brought to the office are , meaqnite and Ofrown byF. B. Becker on his farm thirteen miles southwest of CorvalHs. They are six and one half feet in length. The straw is very fine and rich in leaves. It was so thick on, the giouud that it had to be cut by hand, aud five acres of it produced more than twenty tons of hay." Josiah Allen's Wife (Marietta: Holley) has finished her new story, and the first enstallment is j published in the August Ladies' Home Journal. It is in her char-' acteristic, humorous vein, but may be said to bo a story with a purpose. It bears the name of "My Stylish Cousin's Daughter." The ; actress, Clara Morris, has written '• a charmingly poetic story, "The j Princess Porcelain," which also! appears in this number. It is the desir« of Miss Morris so become j as well known as an authoress as she is an actress. Thus far her literary efforts have met with great success and she finds a place for everything that comes from her pen. Frank Leslies Popular Monthly for August is a grand midsummer art and fiction number. It is brillant and entertainiug iu its literary contents and sumptuous pictorially, as may "be judged from the fact that among its writers and artists appear the names of the world's best. Edgar Fawcett spins a weird yarn, "The Lid of a Chest;" Etta W. Pierce's "Miss Angel" is more cheerful. Larkin G. Mead writes a crisp little newspaper storyette, called "Human Interest. The midsummer cover, in colors is by Wenzel. This number will surely rank Frank Leslie's as the monarch of the 10-cent magazines.

U. of Pinckney Social Settlement Work. The third annual Social Settlement Convention was held in Chicago, May 15-17, at the new Hull House theater. Social settlements are defined as "diplomatic" corps between the social classes whom Lord Disraeli once described as 'two nations.' " The social settlement movement started about twenty years ago and has found its most earnest advocates in America. The number of settlements in this country number eighty, in England fortythree and in Scotland eight. Miss Jane Adams, of Hull House, is the acknowledged heart and brain of more varied interests than can be claimed by any other settlement. She is a woman of the widest culture, high social position, and is posessed of ample means. Other well known American social settlement philanthropists are, Mr. R. A. Wood, of South End House, Boston, a close student of social conditions in London; Prof. Graham Taylor, of "The Commons," in the seynteenth ward of Chicago; Harry F. Ward, warden in Northwestern University Settlement, and Miss Mary McDowell, of the University of Chicago Settlement. Statistics are lacking regarding the settlement movement, hence the scope of work is as yet unknown, but it is admitted that the practical, philosophical methods which prevail in the system bid fair to bring about a much dreaded social revolution.

' " ~'"' ~ If yon want ail the news subscribe for the DISPATCH. Uncle Sam has always devoutly desired prohibition for his redskinned wards. For sixty years the United States has endeavored to suppress liquor selling in the Indian Territory. It is a penal offence to carry any kind of intoxicating liquor into an Indian reservation, and the same penalty is imposed upon its sale to Indians everywhere. To enforce this law courts have been increased, and deputy marshals, running into the hundreds, have been added in the territory and along the border. While the Indians were comparatively alone upon their reservation, it was difficult to control their thirst for fire-water, but with 350,000 white* men added to the population, the evil is multiplied tenfold. A sober Indian may be made into a good citizen, but drunk, his savage instincts and passions convert him into a demon. Ninety-five per cent of the crime of all kinds committed in the Indian Territory can be traced to drink. Ex-Bepresentative Springer, of Illinois, one of the judges of the territorial courts, has decided that any liquid containing more than two per cent of alcohol is intoxicating. Hard cider, "hop tea," jumaica ginger, vanilla extract many kinds of "grocery goods" and various decoctions, sold under the name of patent medicines, have been shown, by chemical analysis, to contain more alcohol than the law allows, and hayeJ been ruled out, although it has | been proved that a man might i have to drink gallons before he! would be intoxicated.

YANKEE ADVERTISING DODGE. Shrawd HiutUr Make* • Good Cl«»n-Up with Ckeap Cigar*. < From the Detroit Journal: An excollector of customs relates this as among his experiences: "Some years : ago and shortly prior to the holidays a man came into the office and said ; that he wanted to talk with me per- ! sonjally. He looked like an unsophis- ' ticated fellcw who had come in from , the country to try his hand at business, though he had sharp feature? and a j nasal twang. ! arch of the insubordination shown by " 'Mister,' he began, when we were I the stout old warriors tc the rules alone, 'I'm in a kind of a snarl, and j that had been made for their govern- I've come to you because I want to do j ment. The almsknights replied, but in the square thing. I had a nice lot of I cunning they were no match for their Havaney cigars shipped to Windsor, j adversaries; "deeds not words" might thinkin' I could do a stroke sellin' 'em I have been their motto. In the end here in Detroit. I had a man there to they were shut off from the royal vision made for them by the king. According to the original grant these veterans were to be "such as through adverse fortune were brought to that extremity that they had not of their own wherewith to sustain them nor to live so genteelly as became a military condition." That they might live "genteelly" they were given a lump sum of 40 shillings a year, and 12 pence each day they attended the rdyal chapel—a small pension, it seems to us, but it must be remembered that money has vastly decreased in purchasing power since those early days. But evil fortune awaited the almsknights. They had been placed under the supervision of the canons of S t George's chapel, and these priests seem to have bullied them unmercifully. Under Edward IV. the quarrel had grown to such a pitch that the king interfered. Monks carried long tales to the montake care of 'em till I came on, but he, not knowing* nothin' about the law, packs them cigars in a boat and brings 'em over here without payin' no duty. I reckon it was smugglin', but he's honest as the sun and I hurried right here soon's I heerd of what he'd done. Here's a sample of them cigars,' as he held out a box, and I want to say right here that I never had a more delicious smoke. He took me to the little room he had rented and showed me hundreds of boxes on which he had paid the duty, and I let the matter drop. It got into the papersi, even to my verdict as to the quality of the cigars. . "Then my honest Yankee made a special Christmas sale, patronized chiefly by ladies who did not care so much about price as they did about the credit of having once selected good goods. He was closed out in no time and disappeared. There was a rank odor in the local atmosphere that Christmas. The cigars were cheap Connecticut fillers and cheaper Pennsylvania wrappers. The cigars be gave a ^ringer* UUnnccllee SSaaiinn got" money that did not belong to him, but It was an advertising scheme out of which the Yankee made a fat thing." ••Icanl o Eruptions Are grand, but skin eruptions rob life of joy.

Capt. William Astor Clianler, Congressman troru New York, is the pre> bounty, and, as an old chronicler of the times remarks, "How they next subsisted doth not fully appear." Bluff King Hal, however, took pity on the poor old men that yet remained in the land of the living and set apart certain lands for their maintenance. Queen Bess added to their lodgings, but issued a series of strict regulations as to their behavior which well became the maiden queen, however distasteful they were to the almsknights themselves. Their old enemies, the canons of St. George's chapel, were informed that the> were to consider themselves responsible for their behavior and severe penalties awaited a "haunter of taverns" or a "keeper of late hours." When the queen visited Windsor they were to be ready to salute her. Lastly, it was ordained that no married man could be admitted to the order, bachelors and widowers being alone eligible.

LAST SUNDAY'S 8U0JEC* "And Brought Him to an Ian and Took Cure of Illm, aud Oa the Morrow When He Departed, Said 1 Will Thee"—Luke 10: 34-36. . It Is one of the curiosities of human justice that a man against whom the * •most indubitable evidence- of murder could be brought might go scot free •through such a clerical error as the writing of a wrong given name in tb.3 1 Indictment. The defendant Becker,' lately on trial in Chicago, made several confessions of the murder of his wife; but perhaps the most important point in his case just nof turns on the mistake made in drawing the indictment. The dead woman's name was Theresa Becker. The indictment read Elizabeth Becker, and positive evidence that the accused man committed the crime might finally be overthrown by this slip of the pen. No one but the lawyers really knows wli)*. i "Cash K." is the curious verbal disguise under which, for ten years past, some generous person, who uses an Omaha paper as hii agency, has given many thousands o! dollars to worthy people and deserving objects. No one but the editor of the paper knows who the hidden philanthropist i«. Yet happily, although^'Cash £." .Is able to give large sums of money, he 1* only a type of many who. in equally selfeffacing^ ways, are offering help and hope to tlie needy and the unfortunate. A soldier's widow vent the other day tp, the. Emperor of AUstfla to;b^eg the granting of * pension to which' she was not, through some technicality, legally entitled. He heard her appeal and' granted It fiat as Ebe was leaving the castle some one told her that the emperor had not signed hie name upon hey written petition, and that therefore she mast, in spite of his kind, words, consider it rejected. At that she" burst into fit of weeping, so vehemently that the emperor heard her. from hte window, and came cfut to see what was the matter. On being informed, be gave ha * thousand gulden from his own purse, and assured her that her petl- # , g n m t e d , for, h« aided, "An jwror't word needs not the conflrof his signature;" as the com- •aying has it, "His word Is as aikU bond." It was » little Inalthough great to the poor, woman, and great, too, in its significance of a character that is loved "by tfce people above those of most other (Copyright 1699 by Louis KlopscbJ This is the good Samaritan the hotel bill of a man who had been robbed and almost killed by bandits. The good Samaritan had found the unfortunate on a lonely, rocky road, where, to this very day, depredations are sometimes committed upon travelers, and had put the injured man into the saddle, while this merciful and Well-to-do man had walked till they got to the hotel, and the wounded man was put to bed and cared for. It must have been a very superior hotel in its aecommodatiou, for, though in the country, the landlord uas paid at the rate oJf what in owr country would be four or five dollars a day, a penny being then a day's wages, and the two pennies paid iu this case about two days' wages. Moreover, it was one of those kind-hearted landlords who are wrapped up in the happiness of their guests, because the good Samaritan leaves the poor wounded fellow to his entire care, promising that when he came that way again he would pay all the bills until the invalid got well. Hotels and boarding-houses are necessities. In very ancient times they were unknown, because the world had comparatively few inhabitants, and those were not much given to travel, and private hospitality met all the wants of Eojourners, as when Abraham rushed out at Mamre to invite the three men to sit down to a dinner of veal; as when the people were positively commanded to be given to hospitality; as in many of the places in the East these ancient customs are practiced today. But we have now hotels presided over by good landlords, and boarding- houses presided over by excellent host or hostess, in all neighborhoods, villages and cities, and it is our congratulation that those of bur land surpass all other lands. They rightly become the permanent residences of many peopple, 'sutH a^ those who are without femiliea, such Ss those whos? business keeps them migratory, such as those who ought not, for various reasons of health or pcculiaity of circumstances, to take upon themselves the cares Qt housekeepiuE. ( Many a nian falling sVck in one of these boarding-houses or. hotels has Wen kindly watched and nursed; and by ttife memory of her, own sufferings and losses tife lady at the head of such a house has done all that a mother couitf do^or a sick child, and the sluinberless eye of God sees and appreciates her sacrifices ia behalf of the stranger. Among the most marvelous 'cases of patience and Christian? fidelity are many of those who keep beardinghouses, enduring: without resentment the unreasonable, demands of their guests for expensive food and attentions, fqr ,wfciQh they, are not willing .to pay an equivalent—a, lot of cranky men and. women who are not worthy to tie the-jBhoe of their queenly caterer. The outrageous way in which boarders Sometimes act to ;heir landlords and landladies shows that these critical guests had bad early rearing, and that in the making-up of'their natures all that constitutes the gentleman and lady was left out. Some of the r:cst princely men and sonw of the most elegant women that I know of today keep hotels and boarding-houses. But one of the great evils of this day is found in the fact that a large population of our towns and cities are giving up. and have given up their homes and taken apartments, that they may have more freedom from domestic duties and more time for social life, and because they like the whirl of pub- Hetty tetter tMn thc^ratet aod privacy of a residence they can call their own. The lawful use of these hotels and boardipg-houses is tor most people while they are intranslt; but as a termius they are in many cases demoralization, ntter and complete. That is the point at which families innumerable ijave begun to disintegrate. There never has been a time when so many families; healthy and abundantly able. to support and direct homes of their, Own; have strucic tent and taken permanent abode (i these public establishments. It is an evil wide as fch'ris-" tendom, an<i by voice'an cf through the newspaper press I utter warning and burning protest, and ask Almighty God to bless the word, whether in the hearing or reading. One of the worst damages that comes from the herding of so many people into boarding-houses and family hotels is inflicted upon children. It is only another wiy «T bfiigiBg tfiem up oa the commons. While you have your own private house you can, for the most part, control ti»eLr_ companionship and their whereabouts; but by twelve-years of age In- these- public resorts, they will have picked up all the bud things that can be furnished by Che pruslan* minds ot dozens of people. J They w:IV overhear blasphemies, see quarrels, and get precocious in slu, and what the bartender does not tell them the porter or hostler or bell l>ny will. Besides that, the children will go out into this world without the restraining, anchoring, steadying, and all-controling memory of a home. From that none of us who have been blessed of such memory have.escaptd. It grips a man for eighty years, U he lives so long. It pulls him back from doors into which he otherwise would enter. It smites htm with contrition in the very midst of his dissipations. As the fish already surrounded by the long, wide net swim out tp &ea, thinking they can go as far as they please, and with gay toss of silvery scale they defy the sportsman on the beach, and alter awhile the fishermen begin to draw in the net. hand over hand,^ and handover hand, and it is a long while before the captured fins begin to feel the net, and then they dart this way and that, hoping to get out, but find themselves approaching the shore, and are brought up to the very feet of the captors, so the memory of an early home sometimes seems to relax and let men out further and further from God, and further and further from shore—flve years, ten years, twenty years, thirty years; but some day they 2nd an Irresistible mesh drawing them back, and they are compelled to retreat from their prodigality and wandering; and though they make desperate effort to escape the impression, and try to dive deeper down In sin, after a while are brought clear back and held upon tne Rock of Ages. If it be possible O father and mother! let your sons and daughters go out into the world under the semi-omnipotent memory of a goo<i, pure home. About your two or three rooms in a boarding-house, or a family hotel, you can cast no such glorious sanctity. They will think of these public caravansaries as an early stopplsgplace, malodorous with old victuals, coffees perpetually steaming, and meata in everlasting stew or broil, the air surcharged with carbonic acid, and corridors along which drunken boarders come staggering al one o'clock In the morning, rapping at the door till the affrighted wife lots them in. Do not be guiity of the sacrilege? cf blasphenay of calling such a place a home. A home is four walls enclosing one family with identity of interest, and a privacy from outside inspeetion BO complete that it is a world in ttself, no one entering except by permission^— bolted, and barred, and chained against all out eide inquisitiveness. The phrase so often used in law booU» and legal circles is mildly suggest^— every man's house is his castle. As much so as though it had drawbridge, portcullis, redoubt, bastion, and armed turret. Even the officer of the law rnriy not enter to serve a writ, except the door be voluntarily opened unto him; burglary, or the invasion of it, a crime so offensive that the law clashes its iron jav.-s on any cne who attempts it. Unles3 it be neceg^ary to stay for longer or shorter time in family hotel or bcarding-house—and- there arc thousands of-instances in which it is necessary, as I showed ycu at the beginning— unless in this exceptional case, let neither wife nor husband consent to such permanent residence. The public residence of hotel and boarding-hcuse abolishes the grace of hospitality. Your guest does not want to come to such a table. No one wants to run such a gunntlet cf acute and merciless hyper-criticism. Unless you have a home of your own you will not be able to exercise the best rewarded of all the graces. For exercise of this grace what blessing came to the Shunammite in the restoration of her son to life because she entertained Elisha, and to the widow cf Zarephath in the perpetual oil well of the miraculous cruse because she fed a hungry prophet, and to Rahab in the preservation of her life at the demolition of Jericho because she entertained the spies, and to La ban in the formation of an interesting family relat^n because of his entertainment of Jacob, and to Lot In his rescue from the destroyed city because of his entertainment of the angels, and to Mary and Martha and Zaccaeus in spiritual blessing because they entertained Christ, and to Publius in the island of Melita in the healing of his father because of the entertainment of Paul, drenched from the sh,ipwreck,. an<l. of innumerable houses throughout Christendom upon which have 9ome blessings from generation to generation because their . door3 swung easily open in the, .enlarging, ennobJlLg, irradiating and. divine grace of hospitality. I do not know what your experience has been, but I have had men and women visiting at my house who left a benediction on every room—in the blessing they asked at the table, in the prayer they offered at the family altar, in the good advice they gave the children, in the gospeiization that looked out from every lineament of their countenances; and their departure was the sworo" of bereavement. The Queen of Norway, Swtden . to . and Denmark had a royal cup of Un curves, or lips, each one having on It the name of the distinguished person who had drunk from it. And that cup hospitality, though it be of the plainest earthenware, i t a-Mgral cup, and God can rta^on all Hi sides l i e nape* of those > h o ftpvft-Uitn fi*m freshmeni B«t atfIthip Is unless yon naV* *>'toots* fof yonr «wn. Young married *a&«.at,.soqn askyou can. buy a place even if you havift to put on it a mortgage reaching from base to capstone. The much-abused mortgage, which is ruin to a reckless man, to one prudent and provident is the beginning of a competency and a fortune for the reason he will not be satisfied until he has paid it off, and all the household are put on stringent economies until then. Deny yourself all superfluities and all luxuries untU you can say, "everything in this house is mine, thank God!—every timber, every brick, every foot of plumbing, every door-sill." Do not have your children born in a boarding-house, and do not yourself be burled from one. Have a place where your children can shout and sing and romp without being overhauled for the racket. Have a kitchen where you can do something toward the reformation of evil cookery and the lessening pj . this nation of dyspeptics. As Napoleon lost one of his great battles by an attack of indigestion, BO many men have. such,, a daily wrestle witY the food swallowed, that they have no strength left for the battle of life; and though your wife may know how to play on all musical instruments and rival a prlma donna, she is not well educated unless she can boil an Irish potato and broil a mutton- chop, since the diet sometimes decides the fate of families and nations. Have a sitting-room with at least one easy-chair, even though you have to take turns at sitting in it, and books out of the public library or of yOUX own purchase for the making of your family intelligent, and checker-boards and guessing matches, with an occasional blind man's bluff—which \s of all games my favorite, Rouse up your borne with, all styles cf Innocent mirth, and gather up in your children's nature a reservoir of exuberance that will pour down refreshing streams \vhen life gets parched, and the dark.(days conae, ar.rt the light $o out, and the laughter is smothered Into a sob.

I consented; I everlastingly •disgraced myself by becoming a party 'toon infamous conspiracy. 1 give you •due-credit for the way in walch yom worked it—for the address with which :you transported your niece to Torquay and daily absented yourself that I might go through tae farce of my •clandestine wooing. I. hoard, too, that :your indignation when you arrive^ at 'the lodgings and found your niece gone was a very fine piece of acting. As for me, I fulfilled my part of the contract precisely as agreed. I took my poor helpless little wife td a certain room in a certain hotel, went out, as if to ascertain the times of the trains, caught Ui» express to London, •with your check In my pocket, and, as I thought, washed my hands of the •whole affair. According to our agreement you were to send some one «.o -fetch Miss Lilbourne from the hotel, >and see to her future yourself. Today I learn, for the first time, that you did not fulfil this last condition. You were not only a traitor to your Tilece— you were a traitor to me. You left to probable want and misery a young and helpless girl who was not ^responsible for her actions. Allow me to remark that, though I tlwaya considered ycu a thorough 'blackguaru, in this you-tavi exceeded all the vileness of which I "•ever, thought you capable. : I have the pleasure to inform you rthat your niece-is now restored to her :right mind, that she is under the protection of a gentleman and his family in London, that she has her wedding Ting, retains a distinct impression of her marriage, and that they are absolutely determined to sift the whole affair to the bottom, I now ask whether you are prepared to make restitution to your ajece of the fortune you fraudulently- took from her. I shall expect an Immediate and direct reply, and beg you to observe that I mean business. It will be quite fruitless for you to atlte- 8 eyes turned upon him in Mathing horror and contempt? Springing up, he paced the room again with restless feet. "Atone—atone!" cried conscience. "It fs all that remains io you. Give bade the money that you received for that shameful piece of work. Set Marguerite free—free to marry some one whom she loves!" He caught his breath and leined against the wall; he looked the picture of misery. He thought of the daily visits he paid Marguerite at Torquay—how the sad eyes brightened at his coming; how she would kiss the flowers he brought her, how she watched for him at the window. She would have followed him to the world's end then—now she had no recollection of having seen his face! He recalled the tears when he used to leave her, the clinging arms around his neck, the soft lips on his cheek— the one word which s-he understood in those days was "Good-by!" "Oh, thank heaven, I was always gentle to her!" he groan&d. Slowly again he approached the table and saw there wa3 something shining there. It wa^ her wedding ring which she had left behind. With a sudden, uncontrollaole impulse he snatched It up and pressed it to hi3 ]ips, then paused, aghast at his own action, and b'.ushed like a girl. He held the golden circlet almost reverently in his hand a moment, staring at it; thtin he put It into his waistcoat pockeU, caught tip th« letter he had written, and tore it across and across, scattering the fragments about the room in his excitement. What was Lady iVIildred to him now? He felt that he bad never loved her. He laid a peremptory hnnd on the bell. "Smiles," he feald, as that worthy appeared, "search Mr. Leroy's safes for a copy of the will of George John Lilbourne, and let me have it as soon as you find It—the first *mng tomorrow morning.

A pretty tableau was arranged in tha window. Marguerite was in the arms cf a tall handsome young man in traveling dress. She was crying bitterly, and at the moment of Valdane's inopportune entrance Bernard was in tho act of kissing away aer tears. An insane feeling of indication filled the heart of the intruder, and he with difficulty restrained himself from crying out: "Confound /cu, s!r, let go of xay wife!" He checked himself *ast In time, rauiaged to get oat ac '"I beg your pax-Jon," and beat a hasty retreat. The two parted instantly; Bernard was the first to recover himself. He walked forward, hurriedly took Marguerite's hand, murmured "A iast gootfby, my darling—I shall lose .ray train," and went out into the halT. She followed him, not even heeding the presence of Valdane; stood on the threshold, biting her lip to keep down her tears, and waved him sweet farewells with her little hand. The young lawyer stood Irresolute. He could hardly hope for an Interview in this state of Miss. Lilbourne's emotions- be had not sufficiently .realized before the existence of a tangible rival. Sadly he admitted that young Stelling was a far handsomer man than he. At this moment Marguerite darted by him and ran quickly up the stairs. One of the servants came to him. "Miss Lilbourne will see you in five minutes, if you'll take the trouble to wait, sir" He was ushered into the diningroom, and sat down; the place was shabby, but comfortable; the carpet was worn, bat the bookshelves were well stocked—it was evidently the abode of cultured and refined people. One or two excellent engravings were OH the walls—the window-boxes \yere full of mignonette. Punctually at the expinu.on of tbe five minutes Marguerite came in. Hor eyelids were still red, and she carried a handkerchief in her hand,- but she was quite composed. She wore a white dress, clean and fresh, and he thought he had never seen anything so sweet and gracious as she- looked that day. He was very pale as they shcok hands, and blundered into an apology for disturbing her; a subject she dismissed with a wave of the hand. "You have brought me the will to look at?" she questioned, seating herself near him at the corner of the table. For answer he produced the document, keenly watching the flush which into her-faee. - — - MECCAS OF WESTERN TOURIST Colorado, Utah, California aa«l t»e facilities in the way of euperb equipment for first-olas3 travel If offered by tho old reliable Missouri Paeiflc Railway, the fact mail route from Si.

His face was hard and resolute; for a time the struggle was over. "Heaven forgive me if I use deceit," he said; "but I mean, If human effort can accomplish It—I mean to win my own wife!" : CHAPTER VIII. There was little outward change in Doctor Stelling's house to tell of the tremendous social revolution which had so altered the destinies of the dwellers therein. Valdtne Martlneau, walking up to it on the last day of August, noted that a hansom cab was waiting at the door, and presently two servants appeared, carrying down the steps a gentleman's portmanteau, gun,-tennis racket, et cetera. Evidently a departure of some sort was at hand. He addressed one of the servants. "is Miss Lilbourne at home? Can I K* her?" "Yes, sir; walk in. sir, please." Mr. Martlneau walked In accordlngly; the girl threw" open ISe" sargery " 'My wife's only brother, Daniel Brandon!' Why, that was my uncle— Uncle Daniel^-I remember that now! Of course he was Uncle Daniel! Wait." She half started up,, and paused, but sat down again disappointed. "I thought just then that I had remembered the name of—of the other one, you know." "But you cannot?" Fixing h!s eyes upon her, he held his breath. "No," she answered sadly. "I canact," and continued her reading of the will. "Daniel Brandon of Rue Parisienne, Liege.—' That does not help much. It does not give his English address," she said disappointedly. "No, that is a drawback certainly, but; we can try Liege. His business may be there," suggested Valdane, feeling more and mo; o a traitor as he recalled the fact that Daniel Brandon's business had failed, and that hs himself had left Liegs t«:i years ago. Marguerite went on reading. "AH,"'she .cried at length, "here Js daylight on the subject at last! So my father left me money, and it was to go to my uncle if I married against his will. Oh, I have been nobly treated, have I not, Mr. Martineau?" "You have been terrible Y.-ronged," he said in a low voice. She knitted her brows; evidently she was trying to understand. "It seems—it seems— I have It?" she cried at last. "This man—this creature who married me"—Valdone winced—"was nothing but a tool—a thing bribed by my uncle to do his work, paid by Daniel Brandon to go through the farce of marriage with me, In order to get at my money!" "You have quick intelligence. Miss Lilbourne. I think it very likely you are right.' She looked straight into his face with her large searching eyes. "I have also come to the same conclusion," he replied in a low voice. She read to the end, and pushed away the will with a deep sigh. "If I had my rights, I should be » rich woman," she said. "You would. May I'say how eare estly I trust you may obtain your rights?" She looked up at him—a strange,, puzzled look. (To be continued;) ; AWAY FREE!

The weekly crop bulletin, issued July 25th, says that generally the wcatb.fr •conditions of toe past we«k haVe been, •ery favorable for harvest work, and the advancement of corn, oat*, pota-. toes and beans. Dryer weather in most parts of the southern and central counties has allowed farmers to secure wheat and rye and the balance of the hay crop. Generally wheat has been secured in pood condition and thrashing has become quite general in the southern counties; the yields are wry light as a rule, but the quality is good. Oats have ripened fast and cutting* has been quite generally begun In the southern counties; reports indicate that the oat crop will be very good and in many cases exceptionally so. Corn, befcns atid late potatoes have continued to make fine progress, and are in very promising condition. Corn is tasseling quite generally, and is setting for ears, Sugar beet thinning is about finished in the more northerly counties, and reports from all sections say that the crop has made good progress and is in promising condition. Apples have been falling badly during the past few weeks and prospects for a good crop materially decreased.

During her 10 years confinement in jail her friends have several times triad to secure her release. Vigorous efforts were recently made by Joseph Choate, the American ambassador in London, to secure her release, but the decision in the house of commons on the 24th, in which it was held that there was no reason for clemency in Mrs. May bricks case, seems to be a final blow to her friends.

Her brows were puckered into a (rown, her large eyes were absently fixed upon the wide-spreading lawn which lay between her and the house. The v/hite lines which marked the tennis-court seemed to quiver in the heat; the men were shooting, the chaperons lying down, the girls had driven to the home covers to take the sportsmen their lunch. Lady Mildred would not go; she said she had a headache, but the truth was she was suffering from a fit bfill-tempcr. She was Lord Umffavtlle'g only tinmarried daughter and, being the youngest, had been spoilt and petted during infancy, neglected...whilst her sister* went to their balls and receptions, and then suddenly found herself, on her mother's death, mistress of the house. It was a bad training, but the result was on the whole better than might have been expected. Lady Mildred was very charming and not at all arrogant, though she was rather selfish. The Umfraville family was in a bad way, having the misfortune to possess property in Ireland. For the last few years the tendency of affairs had been down, down—hopelessly down. Lady Mildred knew that it was she who was expected to retrieve the family fortunes, and it was this fact which just now weighed upon her mind, for she had been so foolish as to fall in love with her mother's cousin, Valdane Martineau. Valdane was what Lord Umfraville would have superciliously called an "impossible" person.

CHAPTER LT. ^ wf a w m 4Bepte»hf day. Lady you:»g man that he In viced him each year to CJarludale, feeling confident that no daughter of his would think of a young man who WAS a solicitor, and only moderately well off. He ignored the fact that the man had the manners of an aristocrat, the. bearing of a perfect gentleman, the experience of a man of the world and the reputation of being irresistible. To Lady Mildred, alaa, he was irresistible! She had succumbed to his influence before she knew it. Now it seemed as if she could not break free. Accustomed as she was to admiration, she never doubted that he more than reciprocated this partiality. It had, therefore, been a decided surprise when her father received a letter from Valdane, saying that he could not get away for the firsthand begging to be allowed' to leave the date of his arrive! tft Clarisdale uncertain for a few day*, The letter was cordiality itself, but tt left Mildred sore and wounded. She was astonished to find how keen was her disappointment, and how flat and dull the first had seemed, without his accustomed presence. That evening her father took her aside. "Mildred," he said, "do you remember that young Bulling who was at Oriel with Laurie—that very handsome young fellow who was so attentive to ns whem we went up to Commemoration? Would you believe it—through the feats of an old woman—h*i godmother— no relation at all, tfciy say— he has Just come into a fortune of— what do you think? Twenty thousand a year! All the papers are full of it. Now Mildred, my darling, every girl of your acquaintance will be after that young man. But if you gave your mind to It I am sure you could—eh? Think, my p?t, what it would be Uxr us all! Twenty thousand a year! And what's your beauty for, Millie,, if not to draw you a prize—eh?" Had such a course of action been proposed two days earlier it would have met with his daughter's unqualified disapprova,l but at that moment her one desire was to punish Valdane, so she only smiled her slow, sweet smile and asked: "Is he coming here?" "This evening, my darling." "I remember," said Mildred, "that he was very handsome." "He was—and most aTsttnguTsherTlooking. What will you wear tonight, Millie?" asked Lord Umfravills casually, Inwardly rejoicing at bis success. "Leave that to me," Mildred answered calmly. "I will wean—you will see what;" and her father left her with a blissful feeling that all was going just as he wished. When Bernard arrived that evening, Lady Mildred received him alone-. Itwas chilly and she had a fire kindled in the drawing-room. She sat on a very low chair, a red glow over her crimson draperies and golden hair. She greeted the young man with a pretty mixture of cordiality and shyness. She made him sit opposite to her in a chair which was the ideal of comfort, and apologized prettily for the fact that none of the men were in yet, and all the girls were dressing. She gave him a cup sf tea from a tiny table near, and insisted that he was hungry after his long journey, and must eat some tea-cake, which she lifted from the marble fender with a dainty pink handkerchief between her delicate hands and the hot porcelain. There was no light save from a branded cluster of wax candles on the tea table and the v/arm glow of the fire. The corners of the tastefully furnished room were in darkness. Bernard began to realize what life might be, now that whatever he longed for was within his reach. In his house—the great house he meant to buy—he thought his drawing-room should be just like this. The man looked at Lady Mildred—at her perfect toilette, her delicate skin, the turn of her hea<l, and thought how excellently she fitted in her surroundings. She was beginning her work well. Only her motive was not Xp win Bernard, but to inflict pain on the recusant Valdane, when he should arrive. 1,30 0 SOLDIERS Ara Guarding Property mud Bapyr—wf«s* Blot* During tti* Cleveland Hlrilt*.

The company has announced that they will take back 150 of the old men, provided they would apply individually.

It is estimated that the company is losing thousands of dollars every day and will sooner cr later concede the demands of the strikers. 70 Entombed But Only Four Killed. An explosion of gas and firedamp occurred in the mine of the Redstone Coal, Oil & Gas Co., at Grindstone, five miles from Brownsville, lJa., on the 24th, in which 70 men were entombed. The explosion was so fjreat that eight men who had just descended into tbe shaft were knocked down and seriously injured. All escaped, however, but a boy named Salomon, who had an ugly c:tt across the throat, but who went back, refusing to leave the mine until his father and brother could be gotten out. The mine is operated by a shaft, and there is no other way of escape for the entombed miners. There was intense excitement about the mine, and the wails of the wires* mothers and children who surrounded the mouth of the pit were frightful to hear.

On this warm afternoon, as she lay in the hammock, she was thinking it all over and wondei -tig where Valdaae w&£, %n4 what or who was keeping him from her. She was thinking, too, of the opea admiration in Bernard's fine eyes the nigk; before as he leaned over her piano. No doobt he *as handsome. She thought she could win him;.would it not be madness—utter madness—to let him go tor the sake of a man who had never in so many words told her that luf loved her, and whom, if she married at all, she would have to marry without her father's consent? A too*3te$> brushed on the grass. Lady Mildred half rose. Bernard was there, lookhyg admiringly down at her. "Mr. Stelling! I thought you were shooting." "I was, bet when I fonnd the pleaic party had arrived without you, I gave them the cUp, and meanly sneaked home through the woods, hoping to have the Itiek to discover your retreat. Fortune favors the brave, they say. I would not have missed a sight of you here for worlds!" "Mr. Stelling! It was very foolish of you to lose all tbe sport."

A proverb is compact wisdom, knowledge in chunk's, a library in a sentence, the electricity of many clouds discharged in one bolt, a rlVer put through a mill race. When Christ quotes the proverb of the text, he means to eet forth the ludicrous behavior of those who make a great bJuster aiiout small sins and have no appreciation of great ones. In my text, a small Insect and a large quadruped are brought into comparison— a gnat and a camel. You have in museum or on the desert seen the latter, a great awkward, sprawling creature, with back two stories high, and stomach having a collection of reservoirs for desert travel, an animal" forbidden to the Jews as food, and in many literatures entitled "the ship of the desert." The gnat spoken of in the text, is in the grub form. It is born in pool or pond, after a few weeks becomes a chrysalis, and then after a few days becomes the gnat as we recognise it. But the insert spoken of in the text is in its very smallest shape, and it yet inhabits the water—for my text is a misprint and ought to read "strain out a gnat." My text shows you the prince of Inconsistencies. A man after long observation has formed tie—suspicion that in a cup of water he is about to drink, there is a grub or the grandparent of a gnat. He goes and gets a sieve or strainer. He takes the waier and pours it through the sieve in the broad light. He says, "I would rather do anything almost than drink this water until this larva be extirpated." This water is brought under inquisition. The experiment is successful. The water rushes through the sieve, and leaves against the side of the sieve the grub or gnat. Then the man carefuny removes the insect and drinks the water in placidity. But gqing out one day, and hungry, he devours a "ship of the desert," the. camel, which tke Jews were forbidden to eat. The gastronomer has no compunctions of conscience. He suffers from no indigestion. He puts the lower jaw under the camel's forefoot, and his upper jaw over the hump of the camel's back, an4 gives-tme swirtttw "ffntTTlfedrom^ edary disappears forever. He strained out a gnat, he swallowed a camel. While Christ's audience was yet smiling at the appositeness and wjt'of his illustration—for smile they did, unless they were too stupid to understand the hyperbole—Christ practically said to them, "That Is you." Punctiliousr about small things; reckless about affairs of great magnitude. No subject ever winced under a surgeon's knife more bitterly than did the Pharisees under Christ's scalpel of truth. As an anatomist will take a human body to pieces, and put the pieces- under a microscope for examination, so Christ finds his way to the heart of the dead Pharisee, and cuts it out, and puts it under the glass of inspection for all generations to examine. Those Pharisees thought that Christ would flatter them and compliment them, aad how they must have.writhed under the redhot words as he said: 'Ye fools, ye whited sepulchres, ye blind guides, which strain oat a gnat and swallow a camel." There are in our day a great many gnats strained out and a great many camels swallowed, and it is the object of this sermon to sketch a few persons who are expensively engaged in that business. . - . . . • First, I remark, that all those ministers of the Gospel who are very scrupulous about the conventionalities of religion, but put no particular stress upon matters of vast importance, are photographed in . the text. Church cervices ought to be grave and solemn. There is no room for frivolity in rtaigious convocation. But there are illustrations, and there are hyperboles like that of Christ in the text, that will irradiate with smiles any intelligent audience. There are men like those,blind guides of the text, who advocate only those things in religious service which draw the corners of the mouth down, and denounce all those things whicn have a tendency to draw the corners of the mouth up, and these men will go to installations and to presbyteries and to conferences and to associations, their pockets full of fine sieves to strain out the gnats, while1 In their own churches at home every Sunday there are fifty people sound asleep. They make their churches a great dormitory; and their somniferous sermons are a cradle, and the drawled-out hymns a lullaby, while some wakeful soul in a pew with her fan keeps the flies off unsonscious persons approximate. Now, I say it Is worse to sleep in church than plies at least attention, while the former implies the Indifferences of the hearers and the stupidity of the speaker. In old age, or from physical infirmity; or from long watctlng with the nick, drowrines* will sometimes overpower one; but when u miuis.t£r at Ike Gospel looks off upon an audience, and finds healthy and intelligent . people struggling with drowsiness. It is time for him to give out the doxology, or pronounce the benediction. The great fault of church services today, U not too much vivacity, but too much somnolence. The one is an irritating gnat that may be easily strained out; the other is a great, sprawling and sleepyeyed camel of the dry desert In all our Sabbath schools, in all our Bible classes, in all our pulpits we need to brighten up our religious message with such Christ-like vivacity as we find in Uxa text I take down from my library the biographies of ministers, and writers of. the past ages, inspired 'and uninspired, who have done the most to bring-BOU4S to Jesus Christ, *nd I find, that without a single exception, they consecrated their wit and their humor to Christ. Elijah used it when he advised the Baalites, as they could not make their god respond, to call louder as their god might be sound asleep, or gone a-hunting. Job. used it when he said to his self-conceited comforters: "Wisdom will die with you." Christ npt only used it in the text, but when He ironically complimented the corrupt Pharisees, saying, "The whole need not a physician," and when, by one Herod, saying: "Go ye, and tell that fox." Matthew Henry's commentaries from the first page to the last corruscated with humor, as summer ctoud3 with heat lightning. John Bunyan's writings are as full of humor, as they are of saving truth, and there is not an aged man here who has ever read Pilgrim's Progress, who does not remember, that while reading it, be smiled as often as he wept. Chrysostom, George Herbert, Robert South, George Whitefield, Jeremy Taylor, Rowland Hill, Ashael Nettleton. Charles G. Finney, and all the men of the past who greatly advanced the kingdom of God consecrated their wit and their humor to the cause of Christ. So it has been in all the ages, and I say to all our young theological students, sharpen your wits until they are as keen as scimetars, and then take them into this holy war. It Is a very Ehort bridge between a smile and a tear, a suspension bridge from eye to lip. and it is soon crossed over, and a smile is sometimes just as sacred as a tear. There is as much religion, and I think a little more, in a'spring morning than in starless midnight. Religious work without any humor or wit in it. is a banquet with a side of^teef/ and that raw, and no condlm.ents,^n,d,. no de_ss_ert succjredjng. People w111 not; sit down to such a banquet. By aU means remove all frivolity, and all bathos, and' all llghtness,..ari<J vulgarity— strain them out rnroujifh the sieve of holy discrimination hut dS\ the other hand, beware o^. tjfcat miHl^er which overshadows the Christian church today, converitfonallty, coming up from the Great Sfehanu Desert of EcclesiaEtici^aj,,having on its tatjgk, a hump of sanctimonious gloom, and hemeutly refuse to swallow that Oh, how jpatficular a >. great jinany people arp about the; infinitesimals; while they arejquite reckless about the magnitudes. :What did Christ say? Did he not, excoriate thp peopje.Jn his time who were'fca careful to wash t'heir hands before a meal, but did not wasa their hearts? It Is a bad thing to have unclean hands; it. is a worjp thing to have an unclean heart. How many people there are in our time who ai<e very anxious that after their death they shall be buried with their face upward the east, and not at all anxlou3 that during their whole life they should face in the right direction, so that they shall come op in the resur* rection of the Just, whichever way they are buried; How many there are chiefly anxious that a mfnister of the Gospel shall come in the line of apostolic succession, not caring so much whether he comes from Apostle Paul or Apostle Judas. They have a way of measuring a gnat until it la larger than a camel. Described in the text are all those who are particular never to break the law of grammar, and who want all their language an elegant specimen of syntax, straining out all the inaccuracies of speech with a fine sieve of literary criticism, while through their conversation go slander and innuendo and profanity and falsehood larger than a whole caravan of camels, when they might better fracture every law of the language and shock their intellectual taste, and better ict every verb seek in vain for its nominative, and every noun for its government, and let every preposition lose its way in the sentence, and adjectivea and participles and pronouns get Into a grand riot worthy of the fourth ward *bf <New York on election 6*y, than to commit a moral inaccuracy. Better swallow a thousand gnats than one camel.' Such persons are also described fn the text who are Very much alarmed about the sofall faults of others, and 1s not unrlenn. If there- fo not something WFong about tUe other man. They are always the first to hear ol anything wrong. Vultures are always the first to smell carrion. They are self-appointed detectives. I lay this down a? a rul« without *ny e^xcepUgn that those .people who have the most faults themselvea an* the moat mer<iless in thelt watching of others. From scalp of head to sole of foot they are full of jealousies and hypercritlcismi. They spend their life in hunting lor musk rats and mud turtle*. Instead of hunting for Rocky Mountain eagles, always for something mean Instead qf something grand. They look at thfiir neighbors' imperfections through a microscope, and look at their own imperfections through, a telescope upaWo down. Twenty faults of their own do not hurt the:u so much as pne fault of somebody else. Their neighbors' imperfections are Jlke gnats and they strain them out; their own imperfflctians are like camels and they swallow them. But lest too many might think they escape the scrutiny of the, text, I have to tell you that we all come undor the divine satire when we make the questions of time more prominent than the questions of eternity. Come, now, let us all. gpJnto the confessional. Are not all tempted to make the question, Where shall I live now, greater than the question, Where shall I live forever? How shall I get more dollars here? greater than the question, How shall I lay up treasures in heaven? the question. How shall I pay my debts to man greater than the question, How shall I meet my obligations to God? the question, How shall I gain the world? greater than Ihe question, What if I lose my soul? the question, Why did God let sin come into the world? greater than the question, How shall I get it extirpated from my nature? the question, What shall I do with the twenty or forty or seventy years of my sublunar existence? greater than the question. What shall I do with the millions of cycles of my post terrestrial existence? Time, how small it Is! Eternity, how vast it is! The former more insignificant in comparison with the latter than a gnat is insignificant when compared with a oamel. We dodged the text. We said, "That does not mean me, arid that does not mean me," and iwith- a ruinous, benevolence we are giving the whoja sermon away. '• '' . But let us all surrender to tttt charge.

To make {he stream capable of floating logs It was dammed below and the ^acting o t Wue water* wa3 of great damage *ndt annoyance to Mrs. De Camp.

She went to the courts and after indefinite litigation secured an injunction that prohibited driving log* through her pFo"perty-:~ 'The*n "the lumfcefinen "Vent to the legislature and secured ;an act designating Moose river as a highway for the purpose of -floating logs. The constitutionality of this law was promptly attacked by Mrs. De Camp and the Coltrt of Appeals has sustained her contention. The decision halts lumbermen in their campaign of destruction against the Adirondack forests. The decision declares unconstitutional every law making Adirondack streams public highways for the floating of logs. It protects the forests by prohibiting the lumbermen from trampling all rights under foot in the pursuit of the logging business, It saves the streams for the fishermen and puts an end to the destruction, of forests caused by damming streams It. is jhe most important aid to Joreat preservation that has been received for years.

Two men stood before a picture In a shabby little studio. MVaa," exclaimed the taller of the t\76, who alsr> seemed to be the elder) "tKIs is unworthy of your brdshV* 'He'examined tttc pWture again and EiW emphatically:' uH's a dattb! Why, it looks like you'd thrown your brush at the canvas and let the paint stay where it spattered. No, you need not try to stop me, for I'm going to finish. I repeat It, your picture is a mere daub; Van, yon'r* equal to far better work, and I eaa't tee you turn out such things, even for potboilers, without protest.'* "Well, Fottescne," drawled Van, if you're through, allow me to say that the picture you revile sc» unmercifully is the'work of my sister, who is at the present moment standing behind you. Allbw me to present you. Florence, Mr. Fortescue. My sister, Miss Van, who has come to stay with me, Fortescue." Then, smiling a little maliciously, Van vanished, and the two, so inauspie- iously introduced, were left alone. Miss Florence, a decided blonde, whose short, curly hair and petite figure made h«r look v«ry- youtag, recovered her composure first. "So you utterly condemn my poor attempt, Mr. Fortescue?" she said, gently. "I was a brute!" he exclaimed, impetuously. "Pray forget my rude criticism. You know I thought it was Van's, and—and " he ended helplessly. "And the faults, being mine," said Miss Florence, with a little laugh, "are not so glaring. "Fie; Mr. Fbfteff-" cue, has art two standards—one for men and another for women? No, I fear my picture is as hopeless as you made it out, and that I can never hope to make my living by painting." "You may improve with practice, or, if you find that portraits or landscapes are beyond you, there are lota of things you can employ your brush upon—fancy fol de rols for women s i, Which were close by. Fonescc* seemed to be a3 happy-go-lucky la his manner of living as the Vans, sometimes painting feverishly for days together, only to draw tlie brush over the canvas and obliterate the Imagfcs tie had created, because they did not come up to his ideal. Occasionally he would boast of selling a picture, and then would Invite his two friends over to an impromptu fete, only to be roundly scolded uy Miss Florence for his extravagance. "But I am not entirely, dependent upon my work;1 he declared, protestingry, after sueh a scolding one day, "and as for extravagance, you axe not the one to talk. How often have I seen you empty your purse, Lady Bountiful, among the little avenue waifs?" "Mistaken identity," said Miss Florence, coolly; "I'm not the only woman with short, light curls In the city." "The only one In the world to ine," murmured Fortpjcue, softly, so that only she could hear; and there and then, as Van conveniently removed himself to a far-off easel, in a few earnest, manly words, Fortescue Hsked her to be his wife. "If you will only marry me, Florence, dearest, you will be a constant inspiration to me in my work. I believe I could paint a great picture with you for my beautiful model." "If I thought that, I really believe," said she, slowly and solemnly, "I would almost be willing to poarry you. r e - sides, as the wife of the rising young artist, John Fortescue,I would not have to paint 4fol de rols for ladies' dresses, Christmas cards, and all that, you know,' for my living." Then she burst into such a peal of silvery laughter that Van; In his distant corner, turned to stare at her. , "Florence Van Middlesworth, you're a frand!" said her lover, eyeing her with an attempt at severity. "John Fortescue Holliday, you're another!" returned Miss Florence, trying to evade his arm, which would slip around her waist. "How long have you known?" he demanded. "00 YOU THINK A P 0 0 £ PAINTING DOBS HARM?" toilet tables, Christmas cards, and that sort of thing, you know." "Do you think a poor painting does harm?" she asked, curiously. "Xes, indeed," he replied, quickly, forgetting the personal nature of the question; "it does harm to the painter, who lowers his art, and to those who gaze on it as well." "Well, Mr. Fortescue, I will never ue guilty of lowering my art again," she said. "And lest this poor picture do any one barm, I will send it to the Home for the Blind, to be used as a fire screen." Fortescue, almost confident that she was laughing at him, looked up sharply, but her innocent blue eye* were raised to his so confidingly that he thought he must be mistaken. Then, dropping the subject of the condemned picture, she began to talk so entertainingly of. experiences in Paris studios, with which Fortescue was also, familiar, that when Van returned he found the pair he had expected to sc#; at daggers' points chat* ng like two* old friends. Fortescue etayed to tea that night, & little bohemian meal, served in u e .u,d}o, at which Misa, Florence presided with much graqe. . • i t was the first oi many, suctU.meal* • which he topic .with., them., som* times giving a little feast In his own apart- "Well," replied his prisoner, "the very day after I met you first, I had a letter from Cousin Fan warning ma to be on the lookout for an Impostor named John Fortescue Holliday, a man of artistic temperament, who played bohemian three months out of the year in some obscure quarter of the city. A rank impostor, she called you. Perhaps she kindly enlightened you also in regard to me?" Holliday laughed a laugh of Intense delight as he answered: "No; my informant was a very charming old gentleman whom I met in Paris just before returning here. He told me he had a son and daughter, who, had absurd fits of unconventionally, which impelled them to leave a home of luxury, and go to live in stuffy apartments, there, to study human nature, and to paint, great pictures, which nobody ever saw. He advised me, if I ever encountered these two characters* to avoid them., as, they, were undoubtedly mad. ^Vrb,en I first met Van I ^aw a resemblance to ills, father and when I had the happiness of meeting you I knew that I had found the mad.pair.",,:.., "That's 'just iik« papa!" declar**. FloreiMp, .laughing uajtil the tears cam«. .".But- on his account I f,ear I most refuse ycur offer, because with three such ir.ad people in his family, he ^Kuelf might also become mad." But the old gentleman must have been -wrlHfcg to run the risk, for six months later the marriage took place. A CLEVER G*RL. ' IIow She Fooied the Other Olrla Neatly •ud Completely. The girl of my heart came home to attend a cousin's wedding on Thursday of last Week and she stayed In town for two days before going back to school for the commencement which will make her a sophomore, says the Washington Post. It wouldn't be fair to tell the name of her school, but it's an excellent one, where the fashions of the men's college are followed, even to the possession of a college yell and thepracticing of hazing. The girl of my heart was hazed last fall. She did not faint when thegirlstouched her arm with a bit of ice and said they were branding her with an iron. She endured every ordeal so smilingly that the girls at last determined to do something perfectly dreadful. They marched her through darfc halls, blindfolded as she was, opened a closet door in the physical laboratory, snatched the Bandage from her eyes, pushed her in, locked the door and left her shrieking in the arm3 of a skeleton. Now, a skeleton to her is no more terrifying than a hoopskirt, but she saw an opportunity to amuse herself. She is one of the cleverest amateur actresses Washington possesses. She let down her hair and tangled it about her face. Her gown was an old one., so she sacrificed it and tore it to tatters. Then she waited. Presently she heard the girls returning. She began to croon softly to~herseTT a~welrd song. The g;rls opened the door. She took no-notice of them, but went on lavishing kisses on the grinning skull, laugh- Ing idiotically to herself the while. Finally one of them whiskered: "Girls, she's raving mad." That was the cue for the girl of my heart. She raved; she tore her hair; she. shrieked when they tried to draw her away from the skeleton; she laughed; she flung herself about, and finally danced out into the outer room, moaning in a bloodcurdling way. The girls dared not even brenthe. They were ghastly. THey clung to each other ani shuddered. The girl of my heart danced to the door, caught up a knife from a table, waved it with a h'deous scream and sprang at them. Then, as ihij huddled toget-bor in a perfect agony of fright, she dropped the knife and opened the door. "Weil, giris," she said,, drawlingly, "I hope you've enjoyed the fun; I'm sure I have." Then Ehe disappeared, and a dozen crestfallen girls, too frightened to dare to go.into hysterics, too much relieved to be angry, stole quietly away. 1 ..ey are clever girls at that college, but the girl of my heart is bell wetber of the floek.

The genera), in a white hat, was marching in advance of tue firing line, when the discharge of a rifle was heard ip, the yard of a house next to the road. Several soldiers rushed into the yard, but not In time to prevent two more shots, which came whizzing in the direction of the general. At this moment I came to a break In the hedge, where I could see what was going on. A young Filipino was about' thirty yards oft He was turning this way and that like ah animal i t bay, thoroughly frightened. He had a rifle in his hand. It afterward turned, ..out,-thai 'th-is rifle was. choked. The soldiers were break- Ing down the high hedge to get in. Suddenly the Filipino made a run for life. He £ot through the hedge some way and dashed across an open lot Three shots followed, all of which took effect. The wounded man turned, ran sideways-a few*paces, lay down on the ground, and a second after was dead. I got a good sight of the whole incident, and eo naturally did the FillpDab flWetbH himself along the ground and rest hi9 head upon his arm that I thought he was shamming. An examination a minute later proved that he was dead. There is this difference between the manner in which American and Filipino soldiers die—the American falls in a heap and dies hard; the Filipino stretches himself out, and when dead Is always found in some easy attitude, generally with his head on his arms. They die the way a wild anlmaL di«*—in just sach a position as one finds a deer or an antelope which one was shot in the wood.—Harper's Weekly.
