RELIABLE AND INTERESTING. The Navy Department has K«<udor«Hl an Important Deolnlun in Favor uf the Klsht-IIour Day—South Dakota and Mluaeiota Vlttlted by » Hall Storm. Italian Vatican Worried. A dispatch from Home nays that Hicciotti (.iaribaldi, son. of the liberator, discussing the likelihood of a Republican government for Italy, has caused great excitement at the Vatican, and tnucti annoyed the cardinals belonging to the group which has not abandoned all hope of reconciliation with the monarchy. A member of the Sacred college, who belongs neither to this nor to the opposing faction, and who was formerly nuncio in a great capital, and is thoroughly familiar with the complications and difficulties of the diplomatic position of the papacy, gave his opinion on the question raised by the interview. "With the exception of a few narrow-minded men," he said, "everyone among the- higher Italian clergy is convinced that the temporal power, such as it existed before 1870, has had its day, and that an absolute restoration of tiie status quo would be a calamity for the church of Rome. What was possible 30 years ago is impossible now. People are accustomed to lay institutions which imply many things incompatible with a clerical government. We are convinced that such a goverment would not last long or exist amid struggles such as disturbed the reigu of~PiusTX.'' Eight Hour Iviiiv Decision. The navy department has rendered a decision construing the eight-hour Jaw that will be of importance to all labor interests as well as to government contractors. The commandant of the Washington navy yard recently asked authority from the department to permit the contractor, who i,s building the new gunboats in the yard, to employ his wordmen 10 hours per day. Inasmuch as- the conditions reported are such- as mnst have been foreseen when the contract wa» made and are such as necessarily exist to a greater j * degree whenever work of the j character referred to is in progress, the department is of %be opinion that the ca*>e cannot be regarded as one of extraordinary era-ergeney. l a cases of this character it would appear that if the public property cannot be sufficiently protected from damage otherwise, the proper remedy would be to employ a tore© of men in relays by which means- the work cotrld 4x» «*• pedited much more effectively, — DfenLriurtlvc Hall Storm. A terrific hailstorm passed over portions of South Dakota and Minnesota on Aug. 1, totally destroying Many square miles-of «rops~ At Gary, fc».

Fifty square miles of crop* were destroyed in Polk countyr Minn.. TTW storm followed Red Lake river from Mai lory to Crookston. thence southeast for 10 miles. Nesbit township was entirely cleaned out, and Fisher, Fanney and Crookston. nearly lialf, destroyed. Prominent Men Iu <BalLi The political situation in Haiti Js ' causing anxiety. Numerous arrests have been made. Amon-g those taken into custody are M. Douibilloa, a farmer minister ol the interior*, and M. I>u Vivier, a newspaper man. Du VivLer made strong resistance, and *u<eceeded in entering the United States, legation, dragging with him the officers detailed to take him. The officers, however, were able to- take their prisoner outside the legation doors.

Ova. and Sin, A leer Recclvw • Glorlon* Weli'owt to Their lluiuw. The home-coming of den. ami Mrs. 11. A. Alger was buoyant beneath the unqualified spontaneity of the greeting given the honored tnan and woman as they left the cars at the Michigan Central station on tho afternoon of Aug. & They were literally "at home" and from the festoons of bunting in the station, the "Welcome Home" in purple and white flowers, the men, women and children that li<»ed the platform and corridors of the great building and along the line of march, there was generated an unmistakable spirit of affectionate regard and loyal enthusiasm such as must have found its way to the hearts of the distinguished guests. In front of the- oity hall, which was prettily decorated and illuminated, a large reviewing stood had been erected where the welcoming addresses by Mayor Maybury in behalf of the city and Gov. Pingree iu behalf of the state were made. The mayor confined himself to the* home-coming of the general and the' picasuro it gave him to be able to assure Mr. Alger that he was received at his home with the sum a confidence, affection and esteem that has been with him all the years of his life. Gov. Pingree in his speech took occasion to censure the President for his treatment of the general and said that the people of Michigan regarded the affair as a state insult. Senator Mc- Millan came in for his share of criticism at the hands of the governor. The 10,000 listeners endorsed the governor's sentiments by hearty applause at intervals during his speech. M r. Alger responded to the welcoming speeches in a few words, but his utterances expressed emotions of gratitude ' t:or—h4s royal welcome home. Gen. Alger's speech in full was as follows: "Mr. Mayor and Governor, and my fellowcitizens—I have no words, I can command no language to express the emotions of my heart and my gratitude to you for this royal welcome to my home. I am glad from the bottom of my heart to be released from official care and to again enter the old home and live among the people of Michigan. Since I went away, two and one-half years ago, as you know, the country has been through a terrific struggle. The office of which I was the head was taxed to the utmost of every man's strength « ho occupied any position in it. I gave my best thought and honest effort, and did everj'thing I could to carry out my part of that great work. What haB been done is a matter of record, and 1 am perfectly willing to re*t the case with my countrymen. Every transaction, every order, aud everything that was done in conducting that war is a matter of record, and the people have a right to have that record searched. And now, my fellowdUwtyi, I eomeirome witbotrt a-grtevaoee. During that struggle and while that gTcat work was upon me I cau truthfully say that I had from the President all the support that he could give. We went through that struggle mbd eame out victorious. We transported^ across the seas more t h a n 150,- 000 men, one way and the vther, without an accident. We fought battles in Manila, in the Philippines, in Cuba and Porto ltieo, and we never lost a battle, a eoior, a prisoner or a gun. Wherever the American flu>g was planted by the American soldier, there it stands a»d there it shall stand forever. ltEt>t, as J said, I have no speech to make. 1 am glad to be nmong you again, a prfva*e citizen, and that I can travel these streets and mest you in social ami business intercourse as of ©Id, and I propose'to stay here the baiauce of my life. Goodnight.'' JlnrW Town A I—out Wiped Out. The town of Carrabelle, a prosperous port o* the Gulf of Mexico, southwest of Tallahassee, Fla^, is reported almost completely destroyed by a terrific wind &»di rain storm which passed through that section on Aug. 2d. Many boats, whieh were in the harbor, have been wrecked and most of the long wbarf is gone, together with large quantities of naval stores. At Lanark, the boat houses, pavilion and boats have been destroyed. The turpentine interests in this section are greatly damaged and much damage had been done to crops. Tornado ViMted New Jeraey. A tornado with a velocity of 80 miles and a width of three blocks, passed through Elizabeth, N. J., on Aug 2d, doing damage conservatively estimated at 8*5,000. It raged for 10 minutes; then rain fell in torrents and afterward the sun came forth. The towers of the First Presbyterian, Third Presbyterian and Central Baptist churches were thrown down, and the Lveeura Aa 8-Ye»r»-Old Aeronaut. IhirSng the balloon ascension at Fremont, O.. on the 3d, by Aeronaut Harry Davis, of Delphos, thousands witnessed a thrilling- sight not down on the program. Guy ropes holding the balloon became entangled about the arm of 8- year-old Lester Miller, just as the balloon shot up in the air, carrying the boy with it, suspended by one arm and shouting" for help. The balloonist did not notice his companion until they were fully 1,000 feet in the air. He immediately cut the parachute loose, which changed the balloon's course, and fortunately all reached the ground alive, but the balloonist was more or less injured and the boy's arm . was displaced. More Dynamite Used by Strikers. The withdrawal of several companies, of troops from Cleveland, svas followed! by another dynamiting outrage on theevening of Aug. 3d, but fortunately no. one was hurt. The explosion occurred, under a Jennings avenue car, on which, there were six passengers. It sm&slfced the flange of one of tike wheels and, splintered the running board at the side. The passengers were badly frightened, but noee- were injiured, and the ear proceeded on its \»ay tothe end of the run. Camden. Hillstiale Co., now beasts of three telephone exchanges. Lewis Pulleraon and >1tebael Me* Donald were electrocuted at the Sing 6ing prison on July 31st. The yellow fever situation at II a rap. ton. Va., Aujf. 3. was in a favorable w A BELATED KEYOLT. Simeon Walker sat on the top rail of the^fence. He bad stopped there in the act of getting over. His rubberbooted legs were tired, so he reste4 and roosted there. The snow was a foot deep on Che level, and in places It was over the •tone walls. Simeon's tracks trailed off across the field behind him. He had come that way because U was nearer, but when he had gone half the distance he regretted It, aad was tempted to retrace his steps and go by the road. After standing still and reflecting for some little time; he had decided to continue. When he reached the fence he was glad he had taken the field, otherwise there would have been no excuse for resting on the top rail a£ the fence. He had a shovel with him and was going a mile up the road to help dig out a drifted place. Simeon sat on the fence till he began to be a little chilly; whereupon he concluded that he was rested .enough, and Jumped down on the other side, into the road. He had covered nearly half the distance to the place wjiere he was to work, when he stopped suddenly in front of the schoolhause. "Time-nation!" be ejaculated under his breath. He was staring at a woman who was making strenuous efforts to dig a path up to the scboolhouse door. As she paused a moment for breath she caught sight of Shneun. If he had caught her stealing hte chickens she could hardly have looked more frightened and guilty. "Oh!" she pantefl, '1 thought I could get it done before any one saw me." "Keziah Tbatcber," 'he said, solemnly, "I thought you had more sense." He took the shovel from her. It was a small fire-shovel. He looked at it scornfully, tossed It :tnto a convenient bank and set to work with hfs own. "Don't some -of the big boys dig the paths for youT* he aslced. sternly. "Yes," she remarked, "but they are always so late, and then the fire does Hot get to going and the little children suffer and ta"ke en Id." Simeon smiled grimly as he thought that, at the rate she was going, she and ieposlted his burden inside the entry. •There!" he said. "Now you caa tiart the fire while I finish the path." It took but a short time to ftniab that path, for Simeon worked as he had never worked before. He smiles* as he looked up and saw the smoke ascending from the chimney. When he went Into the schoolroom, after stamping the snow off his boots, he found that Keiiah'a fire was a roaring success. But perhaps neither, the heat of the flre nor the previous cold quite accounted for the bright color in Keziah's cheeks. Simeon glanced around the room. •"It looks natural,1' he said, "but awful «raalL I don't believe I've been here since I went to'school, but you've spent a good part of the time here since then. My! that fire feels good,". He drew two chairs up to the stove and after Keziah had taken one he seated himself in the other. "Isn't this cozy!" he said, in a tone of satisfaction. "I was on my way to Benson's Corner to shovel, snow; but I guess the enow will keep and It isn't often I get a chance to speak to you. Why, how long is it since we were allowed to see each other " "I don't know." Keziah's eyes wera cast down. "It is some years. I don't know what Cynthia would say if she . " She paused abruptly. Simeon smiled good-humoredly. "I know that sister of yours doesn't approve of me, but that's no excuse for her holding over you the way she does." "Oh, Cynthia has BO much more sense than I have," Keziah murmured, deprecatlngly. Simeon looked at her quizzically. "I suppose she has told you that so often that you have got so you believe It. But I don't believe it." There was an awkward pause. Keziah looked at -the clock and halflonged for, half-dreaded, the arrival of the first scholar. Simeon frowned at the stove, and wished he knew how to say what he wanted to say. At last he cleared his throat. , "Keziah. let us have one good, long talk together. We may never have another chance, and there are some things I'd like to know about. Will you tell me the real reason why we WALKED THROUGH THE SNOW. would not have s«t (the -schoolroom much warmer than if fihe ihad left the work to the boys. "And besides," Keeiafc continued, apologetically, "I dida'i Ju>ow it was so drifted." Something in her twice made Simeon turn and look at her "You are cold," t e said, gently. "What have, you got on your feet? Whew! Nothing but rubbers." He looked dubiously across the drifted yard to the schoolhoua* door. Then his fae« cleared. "Where-ts Ue key?" he asked. • ••"••'•• •••••" Keztah felt In her poeiwt wad drew It out. He took It and without * word turned and began plowing slowly through the snow. When he reached the door he unlocked It and opened it wide, then returned to K«siafc w*o WJU watching Dim wonderlnglf- ."Now," he said, as he readied her, "I am going to carry you to that door." "Oh, no. please don't! I can wait til! the path is made, perfectly welL I'm not very cold, truly I'm not. "I am going to carry jrwt.** aaid flimeon. and there was a strang* note of command In hit voice. "Put your Mtm around my n«ck—so. There, now X can carry you eatUy." "Oh, Mr. Walker! I wish ah« protested, feebly. thrSolouwghly thaea md ocwar,e frueallcyh ehd jth« §tep§ didn't get married that time—fifteen years ago, wasn't it? Was one-reason Cynthia?" She nodded. "Well, I thought. What were the others? I know you told me at that time, but somehow they didn't seem like reasons you would give." "There weren't any other—besides Cynthia." "She must have told you things about me. I wonder what they were?" Keziah turned away her head. "She said that you were siilftless," she faltered, "and never would get on in the world.** He fnade a wry face. "And I suppose she has kept her eye on me, and has h«d the satisfaction of saying, 'I told you so,' every little while, and congratulating you on her gQod sense and your escape. Well, I guess she's right. I wouder if you cared?" "Yes, I did care," she said, almost vehemently. "I wanted you to succeed and justify mr opinion of you and when you didn't she woaid exult and sometimes I wanted to go away and never come back.** "I wish I had known—I wish I had known," was all Simeon said. She looked at him pityingly, then she laid her hand timidly on his aim. "You ksow it now," the said, gently. "It-ian't too late." He rose to his feet suddenly. "No." "it fan't too late and I'll justify your opinion of me yet. I will go now and shovel thf.t snow. Good-by. I'm glad J saw you." Ho grasped her hand so hard that she winced, then strode out of tbe room. She listened to his retreating footsteps, than turned ic her chair so that she could lay her arm on its back and bury her face in the crook of her elbow. In a moment she heard some one coming, and stood up hastily, giving quick dabs to her eyes with her handkerchief. "That anow will have to wait Just a little longer. Something more important comes first," sa4d Simeon, cominto the room. "Why, Keziah! you are not—— Why, what Is it dear?" for Keziah was crying softly In his arms. A little later, when they were more calm, Simeon said: "What I came back to say was this: I am going to get away from the pernicious influence of that lazy, good-for-nothing Sim Walker, and I thought it would be a grand, good idea if at the same timo you would break *way from the pernicious influence of Miss Cynthia Thatcher." Keziah's eyes sparkled. "I will do it," she .said, and there was that In her look which told that she had at last freed herself from the domination of her sister. There were other things that had to be said and by that time the fire had gone out and the room gTOwn cold. "Why, whore are the scholars?" cried Keziah, when she saw that It was 10 o'clock. "They must have stayed at home on account of the anow." So they left tbe schoolhouse together and Keziah walked slowly home, dreading her interview with Cynthia, while Simeon, with his shovel over his shoulder, went briskly in the other direction. he aaidf la a voice that startled her, IMITATIVE FILIPINOS. Said to Exceed All Otber People in Imitation. Of all the races peopling this mundane sphere not one has such an extraordinary spirit of imitation as that which Inhabits the Philippine islands, according to the new American paper, Manila Freedom. This race of people, of Malay origin, which occupies all the archipelago of the Celebes sea, lacks entirely the esthetic taste necessary for the proper combination of colors, constructive ability, uniformity in architectural designs, and the good taste which is required for the culture and advancement of a people. They have no ideas of this kind, and in all matters of taste do nothing more than what they see in races of the West. Any one who has observed the Filipinos will have noticed that they have no ideas at all in regard to the proper comhinallon of colors in their wear- Ing apparel, as, in spite of their dusky complexions, they select in their clothing the colors which are least suitable to them. You will see Indian girls and half-breeds as brown as berries using in their dresses and scarfs such colors as blue, green, yellow, brown and black. A woman of dusky complexion with a dress of any of these colors presents an appearance that is -iiideowt-ln-t Ue-extreme; It- ts~not Tincommon to eee dark-skinned Indian girls dressed in such bright greens that If they should encounter a cariboo they are liable to be eaten by that festive animal on account of their similarity to bunches of hay. The reason why these people cut this ridiculous figure Is that they see these bright colors on European women, and, without thinking of the effect which, on account of their different complexion, such hues are liable to produce, readily adopt them and consider themselves the most elegant of the elegant. No sooner does a new fashion arrive from Paris, Vienna or Berlin in shoes, trousers, hats, shirts or neckwear, no matter how extravagant, the Indian and the half-breed immediately adopt them. The American troops had been in Manila only a few days with their brown suits before the stores on tbe Escolta were besieged by natives and half-breeds buying all the brown cloth obtainable, wool, cotton or silk, and In a few days they were all arrayed in suits of the same color as those worn by the army of occupation. They noticed the hats of straw or felt with a blue poJka dot band, and in a few days all the Indians and half-breeds were wearing the same kind of hats as the Americans. I believe that the Americans will have but little trouble in Introducing here their usages, customs and language, as to that end the spirit of imitation which predominates in the native race will be a powerful factor. WAR NOTES, A hot fight took place at Calamba on July 30th. The insurgents were unwilling to abandon the place, which i» the key to the lake road. Uen. Hall, hearing that Gen. Malbar was preparing to make an attack, sent Maj. We is* enberger with three companies of the i 2l8tinfantry, three troops of cavalry, : and one of Hamilton's guns, to attack the insurgents. This detachment found a force of 1,009 rebels behind hastily made intrenchments. The rebels held their fire until the contingent of the ytst regiment was within 300 yards, when they fired a volley. The Americans dropped in the high grass out of sight and returned the fire. Finally tlie Americans succeeded in repulsing the enemy with a loss of seven killed and 20 wounded. Sixteen dead insurgents w^re found as the troops ! advanced. f : A Cuban committee has started out j with the intention of giving1 the na^- i tives free instruction on certain points. The members of the committee say a definite form of government for the island will soon be determined upon, and they urge every citizen to at least learn to write, pointing out that there is no question now of fighting for independence, but that every man must say clearly what he wishes in regard to the future of the island, adding that they will only have themselves to blame if, on account of apathy, they have to confess they are incapable of their own social and political regeneration. A mass meeting was held at Havana on July 30th under the auspices of the Sociedad Democratico, a brand of the Cuban National Society of Independence. A procession paraded the streets for two hours, headed by a band and bearing banners with the inscription, "Cuba is and by right ought to be free" and "Peace work." Two girls dressed to represent* Cuba and America rode in the procession. Cuba Libre was presented by a girl with broken chains o» her wrist. A few American flafjs were to be seen on the streets, but hundreds of Cuban emblems were displayed. Rear Admiral Win. T. Sampson in his own behalf and also in behalf of all the officers and enlisted men of the U. S. navy who served with the V.

LIVIHGSwTOmN m cms Met a t Howell S a t u r d a y a n d D i s c u s s e d Many Q u e s t i o n s of I n t e r e s t . A Good A t t e n d a n c e a n d an E n t h u s i a s t i c Meeting* On Saturday last the Livingston County Association of Farmer's Clubs held a meeting at the court'*1 house in Howell which, considering the stormy day, was well attended and all present were much interested in the topics under discussion. Promptly at 10:30 the president, Miss Helen Norton, called the meeting to order anl after the opening exercises took up the first paper, ''The Roundup at Pontiac." Mr. Bump being absent on account of poor health, Miss Norton read the paper he had which was very interesting. One or' the main features of the paper was the one bearing on crimson clover for the bringing up of land that has been run down. H. E. Read in discussing the topic, also spoke much in favor of that kind of clover. It is not as large as other clovers, but grows thicker on the ground, is more hardy, furnishesbetterprotection and more fertilizer. The next paper "Tax Payers and Higher Education." by Hon. Wm. Ball. He presumed the question had to do with the taxes to carry on the state schools and would handle it in that line. While taxes might be somewhat excessive he would not cripple the state institutions by cutting off their appropriations. The local and county affairs should be reformed, also the legislature. Elect men for legislature who will do more than run back and forth from Lansing to their homes, or go on junkets all over the state, the state paying their expenses and six cents per mile for traveling while the railroads furnish free passes. Economy and business principles should prevail in the state government and certainly should in the_town__and_county_t EaimerV All doctor* told Remok Hamilton of Wsit Jefferson, O., after suffering 18 months from Rectal Fistula, he would die unices a costly operation WM preformed; but he cured himself with fift-faoiras of BobkUn'g araiet' •alt* to« rarest pile cure on earth and the beet sal re in the world; 25c a box tad If you want ail the new* subscribe for the DISPATCH. Clubs and Institutes should be a great factor to bring about reform in these matters. The time was when the scythe, cradle, hand rake etc. were all right, but who would say they would do today; the time was when three or four months schooling at a country school was enough, but today we must have "a higher education to keejf up" with the times. The farmers sons and daughters should have the best schooling that can be afforded. The common school scarcely tits one for life— just gives the foundation—we must have a higher education to till the places ot trust today. We are passing through great changes and must be prepared to meet them. Too many legislators go to the halls without fit educations, only to be led by the crafty, well educated lobbists. MR. REED—I believe in higher education in the home as well as in the government. The best is none to good for anyone. MR. MUNBOX—The state does not educate the men, but makes a place where they can educate themselves at little cost. Whatever we do let us not cripple our state institutions of learning. MRS. R. SMITH—believed in higher education, but higher education in life.K. SMITH—Oar common schools should oe better, and any who wanted higher education let them go to private schools that are not kept up by the taxes of the people. • Miss NORTON—One of the troubles of our education is, that the father, mother and school board are ignorant ot what means are used to teach, They should be more interested in the educational affairs and visit their schools and colleges more. Am in favor of direct taxation for higher education. C. M. WOOD—was proud of the place onr state occupies in educational circles. The taxes of the wealthy go ot help educate the poor. P, W. ALI^SOV—One trouble is, too many-of ttre -professors of our state institutions receive big wages and pay very small taxes. They own no homes of their own and but very little taxable property. Believed in higher education however. AFTERNOON SESSION. The afternoon session was opened by a solo by Mr. Hosley then the paper ''Trusts," by W, H. Sayles. He did not know but be might be called a "calamity howler" but there never was a time when the rich were so rich or the farmer bad a harder time to make a living than today. If trusts continued to increase in tbe future as in tbe past the time will come when ene man can touch tbe button and stay the wheels of manufacture, throwing thousands of laborers out of employment. It seems like treason to us when we think that tbe founders of this government fought eight years to free us from the tyranny of the old country, while today we have not the staminy to put hown trusts and monopoly which are sapping the life of the free institutions of our nation. Let us get outside of party lines and work for the welfare of our country. HON. C. M. WOOD—I admit that the farmer occupies an unenviable position, but the country was never in a more prosperous condition financially. The question was warmly discussed by Messrs Ball, Clementg, Smith and others hut most of the discussion was in accordance with what Miss Norton said in closing: "I am called upun .0 decide but will say_thatjye _mi_£ht_debate this question for all time, but we must discriminate between "trusts' and ''organized capital." I do not favor trusts but we must have organized capital/' Hon. F. W. Allison read a paper on •'Direct Legislation," which was excellent and drew out considerable discussion, the general trend of which was in favor of direct legislation. The question box contained a number of interesting questions that were discussed but owing to the lateness of the hour were necessarily hurried. Altogether, tbe meeting was a success and all felt well paid for being present.. The Appetite af a Costt is envied by all poor dyspeptics whose stomach and liver are out of order.

As between short skirts and clean streets the Women's «lub of Baltimore has decided in favor of the latter.

"Well," said the customer, "I will split the difference. You asked twenty dollars, and I said ten. Now, I will give you fifteen." "Well," said the merchant, "it is a great sacrifice, but take it at that price." Then the customer with a roll under his arm started to go out &X.1 enter his own place of business, and Solomon in disguise followed him. He heard the customer as he unrolled the coat say: "Boys, I have made a great bargain. How much do you guess I gave for that coat?" "Well," said one, wishing to compliment his enterprise, "you gave thirty dollars for it." Another says, "I should think you got It cheap if you gave twenty-five dollars." "No," said the buyer.

"It is naught, it is naught, eaith the buyer, but when he is gone his way, then he boasteth." There are no higher style3 of men In all the world than those U"Jw at the head of the mercantile enterprises in the great cities Oi! this continent. Their casual promise is as good as a bond with piles of collaterals. Their reputation for integrity is as well established as that of Petrarch residing in the family of Cardinal Colonna. It is related that when there was great disturbance in the family, the cardinal called all his people together, and put them under oath to tell the truth, except Petrarch; when he came up to swear, the cardinal put awcy his book and said: "As for you Petrarch, your word is sufficient."

See how he first induces the customer Into a mood favorable to the proper consideration of the value of the goods. He shows himself to be an honest and frank salesman. How carefully the lights are arranged untit they fall jusi right upon the fabric! Beginning with goods of medium quality, he gradually advances towards those of more thorough make and of more attractive pattern. How he watehes the moods an* whims of his customer! With what perfect calmness he takes the order, and bows the purchaser from hit pretence, who goes away having made up hit mind that he has bought the goodj at a price which will allow him a living margin when he again sells them. TAJ .••*• worth what the •ealesnun they were, and were told at a price vhloa will not make it necessary for the house cu r»u «j««ry ten years in order to fix up thin?* But with what burning indignation we think of the iniquitous stratagems by which goods are sometimes disposed of. A glance at the morning papers slows the arrival at one of our hotels of a young merchant from one of the inland cities. He Is a comparative stranger in the great city, and, of course, he must be shown around, and it will be the duty of some of our enterprising houses to escort him. He is a large purchaser and has plenty of time and money, and it will pay to be very attentive. The evening is spent at a place of doubtful amusement. Then they go back to the hotel. Having just come to town, they must, of course, drink. A friend from the same mercantile establishment drops in, &nd usage and generosity suggest that they must drink. Business prospects are talked over, and the stranger is warned against certain dilapidated mercantile establishments that are about to fail, and for such kindness and magnanimity of caution against the dishonesty of other business houses, of course it is expected they will—and so they do—take a drink. Other merchants lodging in adjoining rooms find it hard to sleep for the clatter of decanters, and the coarse carousal of these "hail fellows well met" waxes louder. But they sit not all night at the wine cup. They must see the sights. They stagger forth with flushed cheeks and eyes bloodshot. The outer gates of hell open to let in the victims. The wings of lost souls flit among the lights, and the steps of the carousers sound with the rumbling thunders of the lost. Farewell to the sanctities of home! Could mother, sister, father, slumbering in thejnlandhome, injjome vision of that night catch a glimpse of the ruin wrought, they would rend out their hair by the roots and bite the tongue till the blood spurted, shrieking out: "God save him!" What suppose you, will come upon such business establishments? and there are hundreds of them in the cities. They may boast of fabulous sales, and they may have an unpre- i cedented run of buyers, and the name of the house may be a terror to all rivals, and from this thrifty root there may spring up branch house3 in other cities, and all the partners of the firm may move into their mansions and drive their full-blooded span, and the families may sweep the street with the most elegant apparel that human art ever wove, or earthly magnificence ever achieved. But a curse is gathering surely for those men, and if it does not seite hold of the pillars and in one wild ruin bring down the temple of coTrimprclal gloryT-U-w444—break—upth. elr peace, and they will tremble with sickness and bloat with dis2ipations, and, pushed to the precipice of this life, they will try to hold back and cry for help, but no help will come; and they will c'utch their gold to take It along with them, but it will be snatch* ed from their grasp, and a voice will sound through their soul, "Not a farthing, thou beggared spirit!" And the Judgment will come and they will stand aghast before it, and all the business iniquities of a lifetime will gather around them, saying, "Do you remember this?" and "Do you remember that?" And clerks that they compolled to dishonesty, and runners and draymen and bookkeepers who saw behind the scenes, will bear testimony to their nefarious deeds, and some virtuous soul that onee stood aghast at the splendor and potter of these business men will say, "Alas! this is all that Is left of that great firm that occupied a bloclc with their merchandise and overshadowed the city with their influence, and raade righteousness and truth and purity fall under the galling fire of avarice and crime." While we admire and approve of all acuteness and tact In the sale of goods, wa must condemn any process by which a fabric or product is represented as possessing a value which It really does not have. Nothing but sheer falsehood can represent as perfection boots that rip, silks that speedily lose their lustre, calicoes that immediately wash oat, stoves that crack under the first hot fire, books insecurely bound, carpets that unravel, old furniture rejuvenated with putty and glue, and sold as having been recently manufactured, gold watches made out of brass, barrels of fruit, the biggest apples on the top, wine adulterated with strychnine, hosiery poorly woven, cloths of domestic manufacture shining with foreign labels, imported goods represented as rare and hard to get, because foreign exchange is so high, rolled out on the counter with matchless display. Imported indeed! but from the factory in the next ctreet. A' pattern already unfashionable and unsalable palmed~oif as a new print upon some country merchant who has come to town to make his first purchase of drygoods and going home with a large stock of goods warranted to keep. Again business men are often tempted to let their calling interfere with the interests of the soul. Ood sends men into the business world to get educated, Just as boys are sent to school and colleger prosperity. the oienonesiy of otn«?a, blank suspension, are bu. different leasoat ia the school.

He replied, "Aye, I shall oxeak when the fiftieth psalm breaks, iay-the fifteenth verse, 'call upon me in the day of trouble and I will deliver thee.'" The store and the counting house have developed some of tue most stalwart characters. Perhaps originally they had but little sprightliness and force, but two or three hard business thumps woke them up from their lethargy, and there came a thorough development in their hearts of all that was good and holy and energetic and tremendous, and they have become the front men in Christ's army, as well as lighthouses in the great world of traffic. But business has been perpetual depletion to many a man. It first pulled out cf him all benevolence, next all amiability, next all religious aspirations, next all conscience, and though he entered his vocation with large heart and noble character, he goes out of it a skeleton enough to scare a ghost. . Men appreciate the importance of having a good business stand, a store on the right side of the street, or in the right block. Yet every place of business is a good stand for spiritual culture. God's angels hover over the world of traffic to sustain and build up those who are trying to do their duty. Tomorrow if in your place of worldly engagement you will listen for it, you may heard a sound louder than the rattle of drays and the shuflle of feet and the chink of the dollars stealing 4nto your-SQuL saying; "Seek ym first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all other things shall be added unto you." Yet some of those sharpest at a bargain are cheated out of their immortal blessedness by stratagems more palpable than any "dropgame" of the street. They make investments In things, everlastingly below par. They put their valuable in a safe not flre-proof. They give full credit to Influence that will not be able to pay one cent on the dollar. They plunge into a labyrinth from which no bankrupt law or "twothirds enactment" will ever extricate them. They take into their partnership the world, the flesh and the devil, and the enemy of all righteousness will boast through all ages that the man who in all his business life could not be outwitted, at last tumbled Into spiritual defalcation, and iras swindled out of heaven. Perhaps some of you saw the flre In New YOTfc~tTiHtS31): A~ged men teTPus" that it beggared all description. Some stood on the housetops of Brooklyn and looked at the red ruin that swept down the streets and threatened to obliterate the metropolis. But the commercial world will yet be startled by a greater conflagration, ovtn the last one. Bills of exchange, policies of lnsurance, mortgages and bonds and government securities, will be con* sumed in one lick of the flame. The Bourse and the United States mint will turn to ashes. Gold will run molten in.o the dust of the street. Exchanges and granite blocks of merchandise will fall with a crash that will make the earth tremble. The flashings of the great light will show the righteous the way to their thrones. Their best treasures ia heaven, they will go up1 and take possession of them. The toils, of business life, which racked their brains and rasped their nerves for so many years, will have forever ceased, "There the wicked cease from troubling ind the weary are at rest." OUR BUDGET OF FUN. What S> Modat Vivendi Is. There are a great many people who would not k^ow a modus Vivendi, at least under iaat name, if they met one on the roafi, or sat opposite one at a table. Yet, it is something that is indispensable in every family, not to mention the family of nations. Freely translated, a modus vivendi is a plan of getting along together without fighting. In the case of family jars it is sometimes established by husband and wife not speaking to each other, but sending indirect messages through the children, or through the servants when children are not available. "Emily, ascertain if your mother would like a piece of steak." "John, will'your father take cream with his raspberries?" Questions like these, though somewhat absurd, serve to establish a modus Vivendi in a family where the heads of it cannot agree upon a treaty of peace, and they prevent the scandal of a fight or a separation.

"Oh, she was always very busy, you know!" said Bernard in some confusion, "lue gtrlg had always plenty to do, but, thanks to old Mis* Solwyn, that's over now." The sketch finished, he showed it to Lady Mildred, who was evidently much struck. "How clever you are to do so much with so few touches! I should like to show it to my father. Will you, Mr. Stelling—Selwyn, V mean—be so kind as to give it to me"!" "1 had meant to keep it," he said hesitatingly, "as a remembrance of one of those golden days which don't come twice, but I'll make a bargain with you, Lady Mildred." 11A bargain^" _ _ "You shall have this sketch if you will give me your photograph. I have one photograph of you." "Indeed!" "Yes, but it was taken a long time back. You gave it to me at Oxford. It doesn't do you justice now. May I have another?" "Well, I think that it would be only fair," she assented. "A photo of me is, after all, a poor return for this clever little sketch." "Lady Mildred!" "Nay; I mean to pay a complimentnot to flsh for one, I assure you." He leaned against the tree thoughtfully for a minute or two, aad there was a brief silence. "It is growing cooler." he said at last. "Come down to the water and I will row you about." "It will remind me of Commemora- _tkin_L" she- said merrily, aa he helped lier out of the .hammock. "Your brother tells me that Mr, Martlneau, of the firm of Lerby '& ing a summer afternoon than sculling idly in the shade! of the great trees, on the glassy surface of the water, with Lady Mildred's proud, sweet face before him, shaded by her wide-brimmed hat. A long silence fell upon both during the latter part of that row, and as they walked slowly home together under a saffron-colored evening aky they hardly spoke at all. Lady Mildred was thinking that her companion, with twenty thousand a year to back him, was more than endurable. Bernard was wishing that Marguerite could have the advantage of a few lessons in the art of dress from Lady Mildred. He wished so even more when her ladyship walked into the drawingroom some time later, her clear-cut face and pliant figure set off by amethyst- colored plush, which caught the light on all its rippling folds. She was conscious, as sue entered, that she was looking at that moment as beautiful as it was in her power to look, but nothing in her perfect manners betrayed the thought. She crossed the room slowly, purposely stopping on the way to replace some flowers which had fallen from a vase. As she turned again, her glance fell upon a gentleman who stood on the white Jurhearthrug, talking to her father. A sudden change passed over the face which before had been only beautiful. No other man ever carried himself with such careless grace as this man. As he stood, only the back of his head visible, she knew that it was Valdane; her breath came more quickly, her heart beat faster at the thought. She stood perfectly still, her eyes fixed upon him. Then he turned slowly roun_d, saw her, and at once came forward. She moved not an inch, but remained wliere she was, the brilliantly lighted room bringing out every point of her beauty. Their hands met, and in that moment she knew that he was changed. He looked ill and worn, but in her eyes a thousandfold more lovable. His greeting was cordial, but it lacked the delightful tone of mutual1 understanding. Almost in terror she scanned his for the wherefore, but found it not. "I did not know that you had come," she said. MOF COURSE YOU MAY HAVE SOME." Martlneau, is your cousin, Lady Mildred," he remarked* aa they "Walked together thfdu|*r*%^j}arlfc.4<H|ke water.

I shall be .glad to meet him." * "I can't fancy Valdane a solicitor," •she said, laughing. "He is so essentially a society man." Bernard saw that he had started an unwelcome topic. He adroitly changed the subject. The water was the great featur* of the Clarisdale estate. It was a Beautiful irregular-shaped lake, with ' a «mall island in the middle, much' usett for picnics. Bernard thought there "I arrived two or three hours ago. They told me you were somewhere in the grounds, so I went to look for you—as far as the lake-side. Then I came back; you were being well entertained and did not want me." Lady Mildred's ebbing spirits came rushing back in swift flow. She thought she had a key now to his cold greeting and worn appearance. It was love of her, she thought, which was telling upon him; she had accomplished her object, she had made Valdane Jealous. • CHAPTER XI. Bernard Selwyn had persuaded the doctor and hit family to •go to the seaside. It was a treat which they hdd never before enjoyed, and great was their delight at the prospect. The doctor, to whom a holiday had hitherto meant no more than the space of time between Friday and- Tuesday, now another doctor to do hit for bin* and prepared for a couple of months' relaxation. Th*f were very happy. Bernard, they all tgreed. had behaved remarkably well; he had shown such thought and consideration. He was net. at all unduly elated aC his prosper^* v, *nd had done just the right thing in naking no radical chunge until the will was proved and the tedious law business complete But when the cottag* at bournemouth had been taken, the **»*ins looked out, and the day of departure fixed, Marguerite electrified them all by gently refusing to go. "I have no right to a farthing of Bernard's money," she said, "and I should not feel happy, thank you." "But, but, my dear," spluttered the good doctor, "that's false delicacy, you know—that's straining a point! You surely may accept favors from the man THE HEAVIEST B. & O. TRAIN. When the receivers of the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad began the now famous series of improvements of the physical condition of the entire system, their object was to increase both the train load and the number of revenue tons per mile and at the same time reduce the cost of transportation. Much has been done, and by the lowering of grades, elimination of curves, laying of new steel rails and the purchase of heavy motive power they have very materially added to the number of cars per train. But it was not until the 17th of March last that a demonstration was made of what might be expected of the new Baltimore & Ohio Railroad. Enough new 50-ton capacity steel cars had been delivered to give the operating department a chance to experiment. Fifty steel cars, each weighing 34,000 pounds, were loaded with an average of 98,000 pounds of you are engaged to." "Bernard and I are not engaged," she returned with Quiet persistence; then, after a short pause, "nor ever shall be," she added. "We shall see what Bernard wiTl say to that," said Mary. "He is the only person that can manage you, Marguerite." Marguerite smiled. "We won't discuss it," she said steadily. "Only I am not going to Bournemouth." There wa3 no shaking her decision. Her will was indomitable, and unconsciously she influenced all. Witn quiet tact she persuaded them all to start without her, and lived on by herself in the dull, close London house, looking eagerly each day fev a possible answer to the advertisement which Bernard had inserted in West of England new3paper3. Had Valdane Martineau know» of that advertisement it would have occasioned h4m some uneasiness. A rather strange thing had occurred on the morning the day after he paid his visit to the Stellings' house. A box of exquisite, cut, hot-house flowers had arrived for Miss Lilbourne. No message or card accompanied them, and Marguerite wa3 thoroughly mystified. Mary thought that Bernard had sent them, but, on being written to on the subject, he was obliged to jdiscls-im any knowledge of them. Each day arrived a fresh selection of choice and delicate blossoms; they were brought by a man from a floral depot, who knew nothing of the person who had ordered them or anything about k. Marguerite loved flowers and, left alone in her glory, she grew to hail the daily arrival of the fragrant treasures. One flay, soon after she was 1 'ift i alone, Mr. Martineau called. His ostensible reason was to say that he was going to Clarisdale the next day, and coal. To them was coupled a new 22x28 inch consolidation locomotive weighing 168,700 pounds and having 54 inch driving wheels. The start was made from Cumberland, Md., and the destination was Brunswick, Md., on the second division. In his report General Superintendent Fitzgerald says the train was pulled with comparative ease and that the class of engines used will be able to handle 50 cars of 50 tons capacity each on that division without trouble. Hitherto the train load on that division has been 325 units of 6% tons each or about 2,200 tons, a 40 per cent increase over that of five years ago. The 50 car train was computed as containing 497 units, or 6,458,- 100 pounds gross. The net weight of coal in the train was 4,758,100 pounds.

She thought it was very kind of him to take so much trouble, and thanked him warmly. He stayed a long tine, and ?&e gave him tea in the drawingroom, which was almost full of those lovely flowers. He bent to smell one of a bunch of tea-rosebuds, and rem'arked that they were very fine for London. Hereupon she innocently revealed the fact that she did not know who had sent them. "But it is some one who is very kind," she said—"some one who knows what flowers are to Londoners. Each morning I am always afraid it will be the last tiirro. I think I shall cry when they leave <*ff coming." "The sender would feel more than repaid if he or she could but see how the gift is appreciated," returned Valdane gravely. "You are fond of flowers, too," said Marguerite, "I knew you were by the way you noticed these ^vlien you came in. Won't you have a rosebud?

He pointed to a vase full of marguerites. "Those—they have no scent." "They are my favorite flowers," "Of course you may have some."

I had been troubled with leucorrhceafor some time, but had given hardly any attention to the trouble. "At last inflammation of the womb and ovaries resulted and then I suffered agonies, had to give up my profession (musician and piano player), was confined to my bed and life became a terrible cross. My husband summoned the best physicians, but their benefit was but temporary at best. I believe I should have contracted the morphine habit under their care, if my common sense had not intervened. ': One day my husband noticed the advertisement of your remedies and immediately bought me a full trial. Soon the pain in my ovaries was gone.

Marie, has arrived home from the Klondike. The party left the Soo a year ago last April. They failed to locate a claim in the vicinity of Rampart City, but secured five claims in the Cape Nome district, which the captain believes will turn out well. The captain speaks in very disparaging terms of the Yukon country and claims that it is nothing but a gigantic fraud bootmd for the transportation companies, nnil the suiisidizi-d press of SeaMle. A man is foolish to leave any kind of a petition to go there and a poor man has ;io business there under any circumstances. Not one out of 5,000 ever strikes anything there. There are over 3.003 people at St. Uichaels unable to get out of the country for lack erf means to pay their transportation, and much suffering1 must eibue. When he left St. Michaels there were 0 > river boats, costing1 from •5U to $10,000, which could be bought ior a song1. Many of these were tteachei) and left to rot. Mr. Hiirsley's experience in the Klondike cost him about £\jjK)0. _ _ _ __ C r i p I l u l l e l l n . Tin1 weekly en>p bulletin, issued by the .Mulligan weather bureau, says that frequent showers have continued to interfere with haying in the upper peninsula, but otherwise the weather conditions of the past week have been generally favorable for harvest work and crop growth. Wheat and rye harvest is about completed in the most northerly counties, while thrashing has been general in all parts of the lower peninsula. With favorable condition the oat harvest has progressed rapidly, and in the four southern tiers of counties the crop is nearly all cut and mostly seeured; thrashing returns show that the oat crop is generally good. Corn has made good progress and is earing nicely; it is silking ns far north as Emmet and Leelanau counties. Late potatoes and beans have ulso made good progress and are in a more promising condition. Sugar beets are growing nicely, except in a few of the m >re northerly counties. Light scattered showers which have fallen in the lower peninsula have been verj' beneficial, but inoi\) rain is needed for pastures and for fall plowing ou clay ground. Kail plowing is general in ihe southern counties and just beginning in the central and northern countie*. The condition of apple trees at present indicates a light and rather poor crop; apples have been dropping badly, while those remaining on the trees are rather poor and scabby. T h e Liik.1 SHI tM-ior mines are now employing l'.i.O )i) men against 14,000 at the same time last year. About L',000 could be used. Lubor is very Struck the Wrong Place. One of tho two burglars who have been operating- in Mt. Clemens and vicinity for the past six weeks, has been put ou' of business temporarily if not permanently, Early on the morning1 of Any. Sth. Soiomon Widrig. a farmer living-in Chesterfield township, about four miles fn m Mt. Clemens, heard two nun working at the front door of ' his ivsiilenee. Widrig quietly slipped out of bed and secured his gun. Then he located himself in the middle of the hall, a^ the door opened in. and awaited developements. As soon as the door opened and a man appeared WidHg lired. The man gave a frightful yell, turned, and tied, assisted by his companion. Widrig made no at- ! tempt to follow tin* men or h're again. The WMiild-li'.' burglars left a bloody trail for so me distance. _ _Laml OtlU-r Disposed of 3O..JH7 Acres. During the iiscal year elulTni^T 30 the state land office disposed of ^fl.'Jfc7 acres of land as follows: Agricultural college land, K\.V.»7.70 acres: primary school land, 17,(i.~>.J.SS acres: swamp land, H.^O'.UO acres; patented homesteads. H3i>.05 acres. Of these '»ands over1 l'.'.OOO acres of hind were -sold to parties interested in copper mining. The :W.:.\S7 acres of land were -sold for$170,8].").iS:s, of which SiGo,.r)S7.;"» has been riceived, 85,228.28 remaining unpaid. The sales of land during the year have been the largest in the history of the department, the demand for hard wood and mining lands being •chiefly responsible for the increase. «>ld Ordnance Stores Won't be Accepted. In spite of Gov, Pingree's protest to the effect that Michigan would not accept old ordnance stores from the'general government in place of new supplier furnished the soldiers, a carload of old blankets, canteen traps, etc., has been received at Lansing from the Rock Island arsenal. The goods were probably shipped before the governor telegraphed his protest, but they will not be touched by the state military authorities until the general government consents to take back the material which the state refuses to accept. . Four More Keroitkue Victims. In tive days eight persons in the citj* of Detroit have been burned by the careless vise of kerosine or gasoline. The latest victims are Mrs. Catherine C/aja and her 17-months-old' baby and Mrs. Augusta Knitter and her unborn abe, wh.o_were fright Hilly burned on Aug. Sth and died later at the hospital". | As a result of the above casualities the I oth'cers caused-an analysis of the oil to ; be made, with the result that it was ; found to contain gasoline. It was cer- | tainly a terrible blunder on .the part of some one who may have been criminally careless. The police are investigating. HeM Tp, KobbtMl and Carved. Peter Cool, a Mendon butcher, who peddles tne:it in NoKawa and Wasepi, was held up about one mile north of Nottawa and robbed by two men on the '.ith. who used knives in forcing their victim to give up his money. As Cool was passing a strip of woods, two men rushed out. one of them grabbing the horse and the other pulling him out of the meat wagon. Cool fought hard, but was no match for the two men, who used knives as persuaders and carved Mr. Cool .quite badly be fore he surrendered. Collision on the Detroit River. A little after midnight on Aug. 5th as the car ferry Laiwlowne, which is used by the (Jrand Trunk line in transferring cars between Detroit and \Vindsor. was backing out of the slip on the American hide, the steam barge W. ]$. Morley collided with her. It was a head-on collision on the part of the Morley as she struck the ferry squarely in the center of the two tracks laid ;>n each side of the deck, penetrating the Lansdowne for 11 feet. Both boats were sunk, but fortunately no lives were lost. Can Hold Two OfBctg. Pingree has been informed by Attorney-General Oren that the appointment of Harlow P. Pavoek as referee in bankruptcy did not create a vacancy on the Detroit board of health, of which Mr. Davock is a member. The attorney-general has furnished the governor with a long opinion on the subject in response to an inquiry made July 31. The qualifications of a member of the Detroit board of health are that he shall be an elector and free holder in the city, and it follows that Davock is qualified. m Burglars Tblrd Attempt 8occe«sfaL For the third tinre in the history of the institution burglars trisd to break into the Colo ma bank at an early hour on Aug. 8th. They had the safe partly drilled, and almost ready for the explosive when the gang was frightened by the appearance of citizens in the street, and left their job uncompleted. The belated residents soon discovered "that something was wrong and raised • an alarm. Odd Calbonn Character Dead. Orville Guiteau, one of the queer characters of Battle Creek and a horse doctor known to every farmer in Calhoun county, and a cousin of Guiteau, -who assassinated President Garfleld, is dead, **ed 77. He was a native of Livonia, N. Y.,and bad lived in Calhoun oouoty 50 years. Activity in the Iron District. Increased activity in the iron district is evidenced by the fact that the Riverside. Magnetic and Klaman mines near Republic, are to resume operations. The first named was closed down about six years ago and the two latter about •,!."> years ago. It is rumored also that the Republic mine is about to change hands, for a consideration of $-,01)0,000, STATE GOSSIP. Two cases of smallpox are reported at Uattle Creek. Columbiaville is to have electric street lights before long. Work on Marine City's new elevator has been commenced. Rural free m.3-ii delivery has been es- - tablished at Lansing. The Calhoun county fair will be held at Marshall, Oct. 3-G. The premium list is unusually generous. Schrader, the divine healer, took about $75 out of Muskegon as a result of his two days' healing there. Mrs. John Schotten. of Fillmore, killed herself with paris green. She leaves 10 children and a husband. Sheep thieves a r e making raids in Gcnessee county. Amos Olmstead of Mt. Morris township lost 10 recently. A valuable deposit of potter's clay has been uncovered near Onion City, and a company is being organized to exploit it. * The business men of Niles are making preparations to hold a harvest festival in September. Valuable prizes will be given away. Ann Arbor is considering the advisability of assuring municipal ownership of the water works plant. The scheme meets with great favor. Oceana county farmers have made good money out of their pea crop this year, the canning factory at Hart having taken all they raised. The total output of the cannery was 1,300,000 cans. If our firemen lost their lives in a blaze on an upper floor of the Mercer Chemical Co. building at Omaha, Neb., on the 9th.

The village council at Armada will call a special election on the question of water works. A committee is now looking up estimates. The council has also passed a. resolution placing liquor bouds at ?rt,ooo. L, A. Tomkins, of Alpena, who took a dose of morphine to induce sleep, died Aug Sth. He wns unconscious for 4S hours. He had been in business there for 2;j years. He leaves a widow and two children. A thief recently stole a pair of socks from, a clothesline at Mxiskegon and later took the hummock. He became conscience stricken and returned the hammock, keeping the socks, saying that he needed them. The troubles of the State Telephone Co, and the city of Ypsilanti have been settled. The company has agreed to place its wires under ground as soon as it can procure a cable. A pair of large hawks carried off over 100 young- turkeys andTUhickerTs from farmers in the Whigville district in northeastern Oakland county, and so far have outwitted all shotgup attempts at their annihilation. A small and harmless mouse practically broke up the service ut the Congregational church at Potterville on the <5th. The women couldn't listen to what the minister was saying, their whole attention being given to loeating the little rodent. Negotiations are now in progress looking toward the purchase by Illinois men of the ear works plant at Muskegon, and if the deal goes through an agricultural implement factory will be started there, which will give employment to about 100 men. A young son of John Urusselbar-h, of Lansing, ran the 'point of n pair of shears into one of its eyes, totally destroying the sight of that eye. The child was playing with the shears when h_e_\vas seized with a paroxysm of coughing due to whoopingcough. A Maccabee picnic will be held in St. Joseph August :„'*. and the day of the picnic marriages will be entirely free. The we tidings will occur on the local hotel verandas and licenses, ministers, and all other necessaries will be free of charge, This will no doubt draw a large crowd. The plant for the manufacture of starch from potatoes at East Tawas is nearly completed and active operations will begin about October 1. Forty hands will be given employment in the factory, while 100 or more farmers in. the vicinity will be directly benefited by being furnished a good home market for their crops. While leading two cows to pasture Rev. S. A. Bauer, living a mile north of Monroe, became entangled in the rope and was dragged by the frightened animals against a barbed wire fence. His right eye was nearly gouged out and his left ear nearly severed. He is 70 years of age, but his recovery is hoped for. Workmen in a Bancroft lumber yard while moving a pile of lumber on the 10th made a remarkable discovery. Between two piles of lumber lay a sack and on investigating they found a newly-born dead babe. The men went to the office to report the same and while absent the same was taken away by some unknown party. Branch c6unty is having an epidemic of wife and family desertion on the part of worthless husbands. In the past month four men have been jailed on this charge, the last case bting that of Chas. Smead. He is one of the brothers, who, in the winter of 1896, deserted their young wives, leaving them each with a young babe and entirely destitute. Workmen on the new sewerage system at Marshall struck a heavy vein of limestone while excavating a ditch 14 feet deep on the property of the Folding Bath Tub Co. Civil Engineer Courtright says the rock will produce a very fine quality of lime. An analysis of the rock will be made* and if found in sufficient quantities another industry will be started there. FROM ALLOVERJHE G i l By Telegraph Giving a Brief Resume' of the Week's Events. RELIABLE AND INTERESTING. <jrv.it llrltttlu IK Making ITpimratlimn to Force H Settlement of tlie Trmisvaal DlttirultleN if NeifSHary — Mexican* tire Preparing to Fight the HrltUhem Feur a Conflict. While the members of parliament and olticials present in the house of commons at the prorogation of parliament at London on the Oth, express hope of a peaceful settlement of the Transvaal ditti.ulties, it was evident that an uneasy apprehension was prevalent that an autumn sessiou might be necessary to vote war supplies. Mr. Chamberlain says: "We recognize the grievances of the outlandera and have said that these grievances are not merely themselves a serious cause for interposition, but are a source of danger tp the whole of South Africa. We say our pre. lominance is menaced by the action of the Tra ..sv^al in refusing to redress the grievances or give consideration to requests hitherto put in the most moderate language of a suzerain power. We say tlnu this state of things cannot be tolerated. Wje have put our hands to ttie plow and won't draw back. With that statement I propose to rest content." Have Tnkeu Up A rut*. Gens. Pablo lleyes, Ilamon I'acheco, Ciena Navarro, Jose I'olo and Jose Jiminez have taken up arms in Santo -Bomiiiffo-in favor of Dtm Juan-Isidro Jiminez, and occupy the plains of Chaguel find Curabo, as far as Jose de las Matas, as well as the towns of Guuyabin.

(Juellito, t»overnor of Monte Christi, who, it is claimed, has already lost half his troops, who have fjone over to the enemy, is in a desperate position and unable to attack the revolutionists. It is added that he will be obliged to capitulate. liittkv U Neitr Mt llmnl. A special from (tunyiuas, Mex., says: Gen.

On the arrival of the artillery and the machine t>uns the Mexican general will close in on the luduinsand precipitate the biggest battle ever fought between the government and the Yaquis. The government now has nearly f>,000 men in the field. Business in Guaymajs and other points in southern Sonora is practically at a standstill in consequence of the rebellion. It has not entirely suspended the heavy freighting done with the Yaqui valley, but has led many Mexicans of the city to retreat beyond the prefect's call foe volunteers. Mast Fight In Case of War. The London Daily Mail published a dispatch from Johannesburg whieh says thai by.a special article added to the grondvvet (the constitution of Ihe Transvaal) the president is authorized, in the event of war, rebellion or other emergency, to proclaim martial law and to compelevery inhabitant of the republic to bear arms in its defense. The Petoria forts are bejiag strengthened and Boer agents are buying up all the available draught oxen in Cechuanaland, and a gloomy view of the whole situation/ is. taken by the residents. The "g^n^ral impression in Boer circles is that Mr. Chamberlain is forcing on a war, and that consequently it would be futile to make advances. Shot HI* Sweetheart and Himself. A double tragedy that seems to have been due to a lovers" quarrel occurred at Denver, CoL, on the 8th. Geo. Bond was found in the street with a bullet wound in his breast, and weak from loss of blood. Later the dead body of Goldie McConkey was found several blocks distant with two bullet wounds in her breast. Bond denies having killed his sweetheart and says someone unknown to him shot them both. Appearances indicate that the wounds were not inflicted by a person standing at any distance, for the clothing of Miss McConkey was burned with the fire from the revolver and the shirt on Bond's breast was scorched. Doable Murder and Bateld*. A triple tragedy, three miles east of Canton, O., on the 8th» resulted in, the death of Edward Eckinger, his wife and their 3-year-old daughter. Mrs. Eckinger evidently first shot her husband and daughter with a shotgun and then tried to commit suicide by gashing the veins in her Wrist with a knife. The latter, apparently, proved too slow or else too painful, for the woman put a third charge in the gum and sent it through her heart. The woman was 23 years old and her has* band 25. Domestic trouble* K M the eause. WAR NUT ££5, A special from Washington says Some uneasiness prevails in military circles as to the attitude of China toward the Filipinos, as the result of hei refusal to permit the shipment o< hor&of purchased by agents of Gen. Qtis to Manila, on the. ground that they are "contraband of wur."' While the Pekiu government has uot formally recognized the belligerency oi Aguin aldo and his followers, her announce* ment that horses are "contraband" U regarded as dangerously near sueto recognition. Otticials interpret he* action to mean that China holds that this government, instead o'f being engaged in the suppression of an insur* rection, is involved in a war, and that goods purchased by it in her empire for the use of the American army ie consequently contraband. This gov* ernment has taken no d iplouiatic notice of China's declaration. Aguinaldo has appealed to the powers for recognition of "Filipino independence," in a document dated from Tarlac, July 27, and signed by Buencamino. It has been received by all the foreign cousuls in Manila, with, the request that they forward it to their respective governments. The Filipinos use their old argument that they conquered the sovereignly of these islands from Spain before the signing of the treaty of Paris and, therefore, Spain was in no position to cede them to the United States. They argue that the possession of Spanish, prisoners captured with their arras,, fighting against the Filipinos, "ft eloquent proof of the nullity of Spanish sovereignty, as when they surrendered Spain's hold was irrevocably lostt." The steamer Saturn us, of the Compania Maritima, coasting under' the> American flag, was discovered, Aug. 2; by~tHe United States gunboat Painpan ga, beached at San Fernnndo, under the insurgent trenches there. Thesteamer was boarded by armed boat's, crew and the passengers were taken off. The cargo, consisting of general merchandise and 8100,000 in specie, had beem sacked. Several attempts to tow t h e Saturn us ofE were unsuccessful. T h e Pampanga then left Sao Fernando ir> search of further assistance, whereuponthe insurgents returned and set fire to the vessel and made her a total wreck. Mail reports received at the navy department show that Admiral Watson is using every means to check insur~ gent traffic between the islands of t h e Philippine group.. Commander Sperry, of the Yorktown. at Iloilo, reported t o Admiral Watson oarly in June that in his opinion the insurgent* were throwing troops into No.gms.and Lcyta from Luzon and Panay. Commander Sperry sent the gunboat Samar, under command of Ensign McKarland, to break up the traffic. In fo«r days--4te de-— stroyed 13 schooners aiong the coast of Panay. Each had a full cargo. In each case the natives were set ashore with their personal effects. The City of Pelting, which sailed from San Francisco^ for Hong Kong by way of Honolulu, and Yokohama, took among her cargo 3:.'l,440 pounds of shot, the first shipment of the kind ever made to Japen. In addition there were 107,050 po-unds of pig lead and 43,758 pounds- of sheet lead. Just to what use this wither unusual shipment is going to be put is not known, but suggestions- have been made that it may be intended to smuggle it into Manila for the use of Aguinaldo and his army. The financial statement for the island of Cuba, covering the first six months, of this 3'ear, show customs receipts, to the amount of almost 87,000,- 000, and expenses to the amount, of 85,500^000, leaving a good working'balanc* of more than 81,000,000. La Lucba, commenting upon this*, expressed the hope that the customs, and posts would be retained by the Americans in any event. 9,000,000 Bushels of Grata Rained. Two million bushels of wheat are estimated to have been lost \n a hail storm, which partially de&troyed the crop of nearly 250,000 acres of land in Minne3otaon the 10th.-' Farmers, who were busily engaged in the morning in cutting wheat, were driven to their barns for shelter and afterwards found it unnecessary to take the binders back to the fields, as the grain had been harvested by hail in a -few brief moments. The loss seems doubly severe from the fact that the harvest was progressing nicely, and from 15 to 20 per cent of the orop was cut. The anticipated large yields were instantly wiped out just as the grain was ripe and golden. Added to the great loss in this vicinity, another storm is reported at New Rockford, in Eddy county, where it is asserted from 25 to. 100 per cent of the crop of 40,000 acres of wheat was laid waste. The total loss will be over $1,000,000. Drejfu la Coort. The celebrated Dreyfus court-martial trial opened at Uennes, France, Aug. 7th. Every inch of space in the court room was filled a quarter of an hour before proceedings opened. Capt. Dreyfus answered the opening questions of the judge as to his name, age, etc, ia a clear* determined voice. As the trial proceeds Dreyfus, ahowa him* •elf very keen, of intellect, and: several times he has corrected the st*teanen6s a* to certain datti •'•»- .

"I am in trouble , MissiLllbourn e and that' s the truth ; .I' m afraid chang e of air won't dire.it. " "Oh, how sorry I am. " He r eyes filled with sympathy . "What a world of troubl e it is! You in trouble , too ? You ought not to vex yourself so abou t my affairs, a you have troubl e of your own." "My troubl e is harde r to bear tha n yours, " he said, "because it is of my own making . It is the shado w of a fault committe d long ago." "And repente d of?" she asked shyly. "Heaven only knows how deeply!" "Ah, the n jt will be all right, " she asserted brightly, "if you are ready to atone! " "Ah," he pried pitiiully, "but suppose one can' t atone ? Tha t is th e hardes t lesson th e world teaches , Miss Lilb.ourne . It is so easy to wrong another , but so hard—so terribl y har d to • set th e wrong right again. " She .looked iit him earnestly . H^e was th e last man from whom she would have expecte d words like those . Proud, self-contained , a man of the world he had hithert o appeared ; yet, now it seemed as if he were asking her—little Marguerite—fo r pity and counsel . "Have you asked the person whom you wronged to forgive you?" she questione d with a certai n solemnity . "No, " way the almost inaudibl e reply. "Ah!" she said softly, "that' s what I would do ! Please don' t thin k me impertinent—. 1 know I am not at all competen t to advise you." "Tha t is what you would have me do?" he a.^ked. "You would have me say, 'I did you a grevious wrong—I appeared, holding her hands to her head. "What did that remind me of?" she said slowly. "Qh, what did it remind me of? I feel as though I had gone through a similar experience before. It seemed quite natural to be looking out of the window and waving my hand to him." She broke into a little laugh. "I think I must be losing my senses, but for the moment the impression was wonderfulyl strong." CHAPTE R XII. Two days later , on reachin g hom e after a walk, she was told tha t a woman was waitin g to see her. Imaginin g it to he a patien t com e for linimen t or cough-mixture , she went straight * int o th e dining-room , and was at onc e confronte d by a respectably- dresse d woman , evidentl y provincial . "There, " said th e woman triumph - antly , the instan t Marguerit e appeare d —"it's her—I knew it was. I knew I should know her first minut e I clappe d eyes to her face. Well, miss, you and me's met before, ain' t we?" "Have we?" said Marguerite . "Don' t you remembe r me, my.dear? " asked the woman , evidentl y disappointed . "No ; I don' t remembe r you at all." ''No t Mrs. Acland? " "No . Where do you come from, Mrs. Acland, please?" Marguerit e asked the questio n with a certain'vehemence , advancin g toward her visitor, and looking earnestl y at her face. "My stars—she don' t remembe r me!" said the woman again. "Why, my dear , 'tain' t four years ago since you saw me everv day of your life for six weeks." "Did I—did I?' J cried Marguerite , her head In a whirl t>f excitement . "Oh, Mrs. Acland, tell me abou t it—do! Do you come from Devonshir e or Corn - wall?" "HE GLANCE D UP , SAW HER/AN D RAISE D HI S HAT. " cannot undo it now, but I repent. Forgive me!'" "Yes/' she. replied, with a nod of her pretty head. I would say that." 'Wnd suppose by that confession I lowered myself in the eyes of the person whom before all others in the world I desired to stand well with?" "J think," she answered shyiy, won- " ; derlng at the strange, intensity with -'" which be questioned her—"I think you would busve to bear that as a penance for jour fa* It." His atrange eyes looked down at her sweet, ingenuous face with a gaze she could not understand. "I shall think over your advice," he said earnestly, "and try to follow it. Will you give me your best wishes?" "Yes," she replied, her face suddenly flushing. He moved away from her— h« felt that his self-control was de- •ertin f him; he must go—and Instantly. "Goodby," he said hastily, unable to raise his eyes to her face. "I must tpologiM for—for staying so long." H« left the room abruptly, before •h * bad time to reply. Actuated by an Indescribable !miHilae,*he went to the window to see him paas. He glanced up, saw her. and raited hit hat with a sudden smile of pleasure, Indicating one fc**4 the marguerites Jn his h l dr*w back as h# 4isj "Torquay , my dear, to be sure. You j mean to say you've been and forgot ; that , too? " : "I've forgotte n everything, " replied J Marguerite , tremblin g with eagerness. "I've been very ill and forgotte n all sorts of things ; but I do believe you're t'je very person I've been wantin g so *ong. Tell me—who are you?" "The landlad y of 5, Ponsdo n Crescent , my dear, where your uncl e brough t you, four years ago com e November . Ah, my dear, I remembe r it all so well! A poor , nervou s thin g you were, startin g at every sound ; an d your uncl e seemed so har d on you, it went to my heart . It did. " Marguerit e sank int o a chair , he r | face turnin g so deadly-pal e tha t Mrs. I Acland though t she was going to faint . Hurryin g to th e sideboar d th e woman seized th e carafe of water and sprin - kled some on th e soft dark hair and cold forehead , "Thanks—thanks ; I am better, " said Marguerite , rallying—"much better, than k you. I can listen. It was too much for me, Just for a moment — the though t tha t I was to hear what I have longed and prayed to hear for so many months. Go on—tell me?" "You mean to say you hate forgot U all?" '•All-all ! I had brain fever." The woman glanced down at the girl's clasped hands. "So h« dlan' t marr y you, after she said, with some show of surprise . "Oh, begiu at the beginning!" said Marguerite , blushing. "Tell me all abou t it, T*lowa." "First , you must know, " began th e good woman , "tha t I always though t it wasn't all right, for thi s reason—that , thoug h the youn g man used to com e courtin g on the sly, when your uncl e was out , he used to write letter s to him, for I seen one myself, I did. I always misdoubte d tha t youn g man , thoug h you did set such store by him ; and I says to my cook, ae I remembe r very well, 'If any one' s being deceived, it's th e child herself, and no t her uncle,' I says. So, my dear , I kept the addres s of th e lette r I see, thinking , 'One day it'll come in useful.' And sure enoug h it did! But it was very strange . Her e was I never been out of Torqua y thi s twent y year, and just fixed in my min d t<v come up by the 'cursjon , when I set thi s in the papers.' She laid a slip of pape r before Marguerite , a copy of Bernard' s advertisement . "I allus guessed It had •oee n don e at St. Boniface, " she said in triumph ; "so when I see tha t ad-1 vertlsement , I says, There' s trouble , and I must speak up and tell what I know.' I won't den y tha t I always liked Mr. Phillips, " she adde d paren - thetically ; "and chiefly because you always cheere d up so when he come . So, when I see th e advertisement , I jusi ran up to St. Boniface ; and the clerk and me, we searche d the register. And here' s the copy of it, miss, as I brough t with me to make sure. " Marguerit e raised her eyes to the pape r an a looked . Ther e were th e two signatures , one unde r the other—'•Arthu r Phillip*, " "Marguerit e Lilbourne . Her hear t sank; she did no : remem - ber the nam e in the least. It touche d no chor d of memory . Till now she had cherishe d a vague idea tha t with the nam e of the man she had marrie d would come a flood of recollection . But DO ! "Arthu r Phillips—Arthu r Phillips, " she repeate d hopelessly; "I am certai n I never knew any one of tha t name. " She leane d her chin on her hand . The effort to remembe r was painfully intense . "Ther e was somebody, " nhe said slowly, "who used to—used to—at least, I used to look out ot th e window for him . I called him some name - not Arthur . A short name—somethin g like Phil ; but it wasn't Phil . I should know it if I hear d it, I think . Qh, don' t you .remembe r it? " she asked piteousl y of Mrs. Acland. The woman shook her head . "I don't, " she answered ; "but I do re- "lemljer you was so too k up with htm . But, bless you, Arthu r Phillip s worn' t his real name ! I seen tha t plain enoug h all th e time. " "No t his real name? " "No, my dear . He never marrie d you fcr no good—of tha t I'm sure! I ought never to 'a let you 'fi gone off with him. He come ami said your uncl e was ill, and he was to take you to him ; but, when he put you in th e c a - riage and drove off, my hear t misgave me, for I see ther e was anothe r man with him ; and I'm morall y pursuaded , my dear, tha t tha t othe r was Mr. Bran - don hisself all th e time—disguised,yo u know. I never seen you again, my dear , till thi s minute . But tna t afternoon , when Mr. Brando n cam e raging and shoutin g and wantin g to know where you was, I though t directl y tha t he was only puttin g it on, and knowed fast enoug h where you was all the time . Well, my dear, I s'pose if I'd 'a don e my duly I'd 'a gone to th e perlic?; but I am a poor wornan , with my living to get, and I don' t want no scandals abou t my house ; and then , you see, I hadn' t nothin g to say—no evidence , no r nothin g of tha t kind. So I just kep' quiet ; but it's bin on mjr min d ever since. " "Mrs. Acland," said Marguerite, solemnly., her hands clasped under her chin, "you say I was in your house six weeks, and that you saw me eyery day." "Yes, my dear." "Did it ever strike you that there was anything odd about me? Did it ever occur to you th&t I was out of my mind?" The woman's look of consternation was evidently genuine. No, she had never thought of that. "A poor little nervous thing," had been her idea, much cowed, subdued, and bullied-by an overbearing uncle. (To be continued.) IN HARD LUCK.

Of course the receivers were upheld by a majorit y of-th e security hold - ers and tha court , but the Baltimor e and Ohio receivershi p marke d an epoch in such affairs tha t will be historical . The vast sums expende d were put out in '96 and '97, when trad e was at a low ebb and mone y scarce.

Uncivilized warfare continues in Kentucky's mountainous regions. . The mosquito never waits until the first of the month to send in his, little bill. Some men's idea of practicing economy is to preach it dally to their wives. When a man is hungry a rare steak is less desirable than one that is plentiful. It seems queer that there is a demand for dressed beef in warm weather. "All the Garment* Smell of Myrrh, and Aloes, «mt Ca»ala, Out of the Ivory r»Ucf»"-Ffom the Book of P*alm», Chapter &1, Verae 8. Ambassador Cambon is a living exemplification of the fact that the lot of the peacemaker is not always an unhappy one. The Michigan Supreme court has about completed the work pf annulling all the work completed by the legislature of that state. A special tax on bachelors has been voted by the diet of . Hesse. Despite the financial advantage, however, a man might marry in Hesse and repent at leisure. To prevent typhoid fever boll, the drinking water; to prevent dyspepsia drink the boiling water. It seems to be merely a matter of choice as well as of taste. Don't marry a girl with the expectation that her father will set you up in business. The father-in-law of today not only wants all he has, but lies awake nights scheming how to acquire more. A fruit novelty is reported from California. It is half lemon : and half orange, with the ishape of the lemon and thr color ci the orange, the juice having the fiavor of both. It is, of course, artificially produced. Heretofore the phantom lemon, which figures in picnic assets, has had the chief distinction as a lemon curiosity. The fruit world, it will be seen, shows a tendency to combination as well as the business world. When JamesRussell r^wasour ambassador to England, his visiting country-folk subjected him to no end of annoyance. "Persons whom I don't know," he said, "Introduce to me persons whom they don't know." A London correspondent of the New York Times enumerates some of the demands now made upon Mr. Choate. He is asked to procure tickets of admission to p.irliar/.riit and to public institutions; for presentations to the queen and introductions to notabilities;, for loans of money; for friendly mediation with a landlady who may have made an overcharge; and once, late at night, a man arrived at his door with bag and baggage, expecting to "put up," as he was a stranger in London! Spain smiles through her tears. Having no longer any distant islands to protect, she can get on very well without her lost navy. Having no insurrections to put down, she can reduce her army to the footing of a home police. The twenty millions paid her by the United States, and the four or five millions from Germany, may not go far toward paying her big debt; but "The jingling of the guinea helps the hurt that honor feels." Her homecoming soldiers are glad to exchange service in the tropics for work In the fields and mines, and only the goldlaced officers grieve for their lost opportunities of plunder. Her statesmen can now give undivided attention to those long-neglected problems of good administration and domestic development. In the Unfted States senate one man vn each side, a democrat and a republican, is selected by his party associates to arrange the pairs. Whenever the roll is to be called on any party Question, the absent democrats are paired against the absent republicans, and In case more of one party than of the other happen to be out of the «hamber, enough of those who are present refrain from voting to fill out the necessary pairs. Senator Paso of Florida has of late years represented the democrats in these arrangements. He has so often had to pair himself to make things come out right that it used to be said that he never cast a direct vote.. This was an exaggeration. Sometimes he voted, but more often when his name was called he rose to say, "Mr. President, I am paired with the senator from Dash. If he were present he would vote yea, and I should vote nay/' tne last part of t&e itatement varying, of course, according to (Copyright 1S99 by Loul3 Kiopsch.) Among the grand adornments of the city of Paris is the Church of Notre Dame, with its great towers and elaborate rose windows, and sculpturing of the last judgment, with the trumpeting angels and rising dead; its battlements of quatre-foll; its sacristy with ribbed ceiling and statues of saints. But there was nothing in all that building which more vividly appealed to my plain republican tastes than the costly vestments which lay in oaken pressesrobes that had been embroidered with gold, ant} been worn by popes and archbishops on great occasions. There was a robe tbat had been worn by Pius VII. at the crowning 'of the first Napoleon. There was also a vestment that had been worn at the baptism of Napoleon 11. As our guide opened the oaken presses, and brought out these vestments of fabulous cost, and lifted them up, the fragrance of the pungent \ aromatic* in which they had been pre- ' served tilled the place with a sweetness that was almost oppressive. •Nothing that had been done in stone more vividly impressed me than these things , that had been in cloth, and embroidery 1 and perfume. But today I open the .drawer of this text, and I look upon the kindly robes of Christ and as I lift ! them, flashing with eternal jewels, the • whole hou.-o is filled with the aroma of j these garments, which "-sn"vll ot myrrh, am! aloes, and cassia, out, of : the ivory payees." In my text the king steps forth. His robes rustle and Maze a? hp advances, j Hfs pomp and power and glory over- j master the spectator. More brilliant l is he than Queen Vashti, moving amid { the Persian princes; than Marie An<- j toinette, on the day when Louis XVI. put upon her the necklace of SCO diamonds: than Anne Boleyn, the day when Henry VIII. welcomed her to his palace— all beauty and all pomp for- 1 gotten while we stand in tb? presence of this imperial glory, king of Zion. king of earth, king of heaven, king forever! His garments not worn out, not dust-bedraggled; but radiant-and jeweled and redolent. It seems as if they must have been pressed a hundred years amid the flowers of heaven. The wardrobes from which they have been taken must have been sweet with clus- • ters of camphire.and frankincense, and r all manner of precious wood.—Be-you- , not inhale the odors? Ay, ay, "They J smell of myrrh, and aloes, and cassia, : out of the ivcry palaces." Your first curiosity is to know why the robes- of Christ are odorous with myrrh. This was a bright-leafed Abyssinian plant. It was trifoliated. The Greeks, Egyptians, Romans and Jews 'bought and sold it at a high price. The? ' fir.it pre?rru that was ever given to Christ- was a*sprig of myrrh thrown on his infantile led in L'ethlehem, and the last gift that Christ ever had was myrrh pressed into the cup of his crucifixion. The natives would take a stone and bruise the tree, and then it would exude a gum that would saturate all the ground beneath. This gum was used for purposes of merchandise. One piece of it, no larger than a chestcut, would whelm a whole room with odors. It was put in closets, in chests, in drawers, in rooms and its perfume adhered almost interminably to anything that wa-s anywhere near it. So when in my text I read that Christ's garments smell of myrrh, I immediately conclude the exquisite sweetness of Jesus, I know that to many he is on!/ like any historical person; another John Howard; another philanthropic. Ober- Hn; another Confucius, a grand subject for a painting, a heroic theme for a poem; a beautiful form for a statue; but to those who have heard his voice, and felt his pardon, and received his benediction, he is music and light, and warmth, and thrill, aqtf eternal fragrance— sweet as a friend sticking to you when all else betray; lifting you up while others try to push you down; not so much like morning-glories, that bloom only when the sun Is coming up, nor like "four-o'clocks," that bloom only when the sun is going down, but like myrrh, perpetually aromatic—the same morning, noon and night; yesterday, today, forever. It seems as it we cannot wear him out We put on him all our burdens, and afflict him with all our griefs, and set him foremost in all our battles; and yet he is ready to lift, and to sympathize and to help. We have so imposed upon him that one would think in eternal affront he would quit our soul, and yet today he addresses us with the same tenderness, dawns upon us with the same smile, pities us with the same compassion. There is no name like his for us. It Is more imperial than Caesar's, more musical than Beethoven's, more conquerlng thau Chai lemagne's, more elo-i quest than Cicero's. It throbs with all Hf«. It wetna with ail oatfaos. It gi'oans with all pain. It & loops with all condescension. It barathea with all perfume. Who like Jesus to set » broken buue, to pity a homeless orphan, to nurse a sick man, to take a prodigal back without any scolding, to illumine a cemetery all ploughed with graves, to make a queen unto God out of the lost woman, to catch the tears of human sorrow In a lachrymatory that shall never be broken? Who has such an eye to see our need, such a lip to kiss away our sorrow, such a band to snatch us out of the fire, such a foot to trample our enemies, such a heart to embrace all our necessities? I struggle for some metaphor with which to express- him; he is not like the bursting forth of a full orchestra; that is too loud. He is not like the sea when lashed to rage by the tempest; that is too boisterous. He is not like the mountain, its brow wreathed with the lightnings; that is too solitary. Give us a softer type, a gentler comparison. We have seemed to see him with our eyes, and to hear him with our ears, and to touch him with our hands. Oh, that today he might appear to some other one of ouv live senses! Ay, the nostril shall disrover his presence. He comes upon us like spice gales from heaven. Yea, his garments smell of lasting and all-pervasive myrrh. Would that you all knew nis sweetness! how soon you would turn from , all other attractions! If the philoso- - pher leaped out of his bath in a frenzy j of joy, and clapped his hands ana j rushed through the streets, because he had found the solution of a mathematical problem, how will you feel leaping from the fmm::::1' of a savior's j mori-y and pardon, was-litd clean-and ; made whitt- as snow, when the question naft been solved: "How ran my soui . oe saved?" Naked, frost-bitten, storiniashed soul, let Jesus this hour throw around thee the "garments that smell of myrrh, and aloes, and cassia out of ivory palaces." —Y-mtr—stvpirrtTuriobitv is to kt why the robes of Jesus are odorous with aloes. There is sonic difference of opinion about where these aloes grow, what is the color of the flower, ; what is the particular appearance of the herb. Suffice it for you and me to know that aloes mean bitterness the world over, and when Cnrist comes A'ith garments bearing that particular odor, they suggest to me the bitterness of a Savior's sufferings. Were there ever such nights as Jesus lived through — nights on the mountains, nights on the soa, nights in the desert? Who ever had sin-h a hard reception as Jesus had? A hostelry the first, an unjust trial in over and tcrminer another, a foul-mouthed, yelling mob the last. ' Was there a space on his back as wide : as your two fingers where he was not whipped? Was there a space on his •• brow an Inch square where he was not cut of the briers? When the spike struck at the instep, did it not go clear through to the hollow of the foot? Oh, long deep, bitter pilgrimage! Aloes'! aloes! According to my text,'he comes "out of the ivory p".!.;co.s." You know, or, if you do not know, I will tell you now, | that some of the palaces of olden time | were adorned with ivory. Ahab and Solomon had their homes furnished with it. The tusks of African and Asiatic elephants were twisted into all manners of shapes, and there were stairs of ivory, and chairs of ivory, and tables of Ivory, and floors of ivory, and pillars of ivory, and windows of Ivory, and fountains that dropped into basins of ivory, and room9 that had ceilings of ivory. Oh, white and overmastering beauty! Green tree branches sweeping the white curbs. Tapestry trailing the snowy floors. Brackets of light flashing on the lustrous surroundings. Silvery music rippling on the beach of the arches. The mere thought of it almost stuns my brain, and you say: "Oh, if I could only have walked over such floors! If I could have thrown myself Intof such a chair! If 2 could have heardithe drip and dash of those fountaia*^ You shall have something heifer than that if you only let Christ introduce you. From that place he came, and to that place he proposes to transport you, for his "garments smell of myrrh, and aloes, and cassia, out of the ivory palaces." *What a place heaven must be! The Tuileries of the French, the Windsor castle of the English, the Spanish AJhambra, the Russian Kremlin, are mere, dungeons compared with It! Not so many castles on either side the Rhine as.on both sides of the river of God—the ivory palaces! One for the angels, insufferably bright, winged, fire-eyed, tempest-charioted; one for the martyrs, with blood-red robes from under the altar; one for the King, the steps of his palace the crown cf the church militant; one for the singers, who lead the one hundred and forty and four thousand; one for you, ransomed from sin; one for me, plucked from the burning. Oh, the ivory palaces i Today it seems to me as if the win* dows of those palaces were illumined for some great victory, and I look and} see, climbing the Btairs of Ivory, and walking on floors of ivory, and lookig from the windows of ivory, some whom we knew and loved on earth. Yes. I know them. Theee are father and mother, not eighty-two years and seventy-nine years, as when they left us, but blithe and young as when on their marriage day. And there are brothers and slstere,merrler than when we used to romp across the meadows! together. The cough gone. The can-' cer cured. The erysipelas healed. TUe heartbreak over. Oh, how fair they are in the ivory palaces! And your dear little children that went ou' <rom you— Christ did not let one ot them drop as he lifted them. He did not wrench one of them from you. No. They went as from one they loved well to One whom they lovSd better. If I should take your little child and press its soft face against my rough cheek, I might keep it a little while; but when you, the mother, came along it would struggle to go with you. And so you stood holding your dying child wues, Jesus passed by in the room, and the little one sprang out to greet him The*, is all. Your Christian dead did not gs down Into the dust, and the gravel, and the mud. Though it rained all thai funeral day, and the water came up tc the wheel's hub as you drove out to the cemetery, it made no difference to them, for they 6tepped from the home here to the home there, right into the ' ivory palaces. All is well with them. All is well. It is not a dead weight that you lift whe:i you carry a Christian out. Jesus makes the bed up soft with velvet promises, and he says, "Put her down here very gently. Put that head which will never ach«? again on this pillow of hallelujahs. Send up word that the procession is coming, Ring the bells! Ring! Open your gates, ye ivory pal- j aces!" And so your loved ones are] there. They are just as certainly there, j having died in Christ, as that yoi: are I here. There Is only one thing more | they want. Indeed, there is one thing t in heaven they have not got. They want it. Wha: is it Your company. But, oh, my brother, unless you change your tack you cannot reach that har- | bpr. You might as well take the Southern Pacific railroad, expecting in that direction to reach Toronto, as to go on In the way some of you are going, and yet expect to reach the ivory palaces. Your loved ones are looking out of the windows of heaven now, and yet you seem to turn your back upon them. You do not seem to know the sound of their voices as well as you used to, or to be moved by the sight of their dear faces. Call louder, ye departed ones! Call louder from the ivory palaces!" When I think of that place,and think of my entering it, I feel awkward; I feel as sometimes when I have been exposed to the weather, and my shoes have been bemirt-d, and my coat Is soiled, and my hair Js disheveled, and I stop in front of some fine residence where I have an errand. I feel not flt -to go in as I am, and sit among—tb» guests. So some of us feel about heaven. We need to be washed; we need to be rehabilitated before we go into the ivory palaces. Eternal God, let the surges of thy pardoning mercy roll over us! I want nol only to wash my hands and my feet, but, like some skilled diver, standing on the pierhead, who leaps into a wave and cornea up at a far distant point from whore he went in, eo.I want to go down, and so I want to come up, O Jesus, wash me in the waves of thy salvation! And here 1 ask you to solve a mystery that has been oppressing me for thirty years. I have been asking it of doctors of divinity who have been studying theology for half a century,! and they have given me uu satisfactory answer. I have turned over all the books in my library, but got no solution to the question, and today I come and ask you for an explanation. By what logic was Christ induced to exchange the ivory palaces of heaven for the crucifixion agonies of earth? I shall take the first thousand million years in. heaven to study out that problem; meanwhile, and now, taking it as the tenderefit, mightiest of all . facts that Christ did come; that he came with spikes In his feet* came with thorns in his brow; came with spears in his heart, to save you and to save me, "God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Oh, Christ, whelm all our souls with thy compassion! Mow them down like summer grain with the harvesting sickle of thy grace! Ride through today the conqueror, thy garments smelling "of myrrh, and aloes, and cas3ia, out of the ivory palaeee"! OUR BUDGET OF FUN. SOME GOOD JOKES, ORIQ1NAL AND SELECTED. A Variety of Joke*.

"For the land's sake, pa," called out Mrs. Druailla Gladden to her husband as he wiped his feet on a piece of carpet at the kitchen door, "I thought you'd never get in. Guess who's sent me a letter. You'd never think in a month of Sundays. It's from Devah Bland—my cousin Devah." Pa gave a smile of interest and rubbed his hands. "Well, I swan now! And what has Devy got to say for himself?" "He's coming to Ohio to visit. He'll be here next week. What d'ye think of that?" Pa pulled off his boots cau-tfititedly. "I won't be sorry to see /f)evy. We war In school together. What say? Is he doing well?" "Doing well, but his wife's dead; been dead two year or more. I bet you a great deal, pa, he's on the warpath. And to think Angeline Culver's visiting around here just now, and she's a widder. Pa, it looks tike the 'plntfn's of Providence, don't it?" Mrs. Gladden smiled benignly on her husband and he on her. They were in love with each other and had been for twenty years. "It truly does," replied pa, "it truly does. Jest think how them two courted over three years, wasn't it? I hold the .split was all Angellne's folks' fault. That old man Porter never stayed anywhere and got a streak to move to Indiana. Her ma wouldn't let her stay here and that made Devy properly mad. They kep' it up for awhile writin\ then Devy went out farther west and married himself to a strange woman. After awhile Angeline gets married. First we hears her pardner's gone and she's a likely widow, visitin' round. Then we gets a letter sayin' Devy's pardner has been departed two year's and he's comin' visitin. Now don't that beat all?" "How plain you've made it, pa," beamed M-r-Sr-Drusilla, "It-soundslike. them story papers. You ort to have been a writer for one. I offen thought dl;~retlon: though I don't want to hurt your feelings none, Drusllly. You can take it all out flxin* up the spare room and Marindy's room. It air lucky Angeline ain't been down here yet— another clear 'plntin'. Now hurry up the dinner and write Devy a letter, tellin' him he must come right here an' we won't take no for an answer. I'll hitch up the cutter and we'll go over to town an" engage Angeline for the whole endurin' week.' The two were excited as children. The letter had to be strong enough to suit pa and was the labor of an hour for Mrs. Gladden ere it suited him. Dinner over, they tucked themselves into a green sleigh and drove over to New California. "We'll stop on the way," said the small and rosy man. "I feel so anxlou3 to get hold of Angeline." "Oh, you do?' questioned the wife, demurely. "Well, as Dur Marindy declares, her pa's younger'n any one." Angeline Culver—Angeline Porter that was—was visiting at old Dr. Norman's. She and Cissy Norman had always been close friends. She came out to the sleigh to speak to Mrs. Gladden. She was quite dressy and had on a pink house sack trimmed with white lace. She had tied a little white fascinator over, her brown waves. "I was 'lowing to go over to Dennis Daodna's next week," she said, in her soft, comfortable voice, "but if you make a point of it I guess I can put them off." Pa Gladden was so anxious his little feet danced up and down In the snow. "Oh, we want you real bad next week, Angeline! We been waitin' and expectin' 'till we're set on it special. Do say you'll come.' "I believe pa'll burst if you don't come, Ange'.ine," said his wife, "he : gets so set on anything." "Well, I win," assented the widow. "I used to have good times at your house when I was a girl. I never have forgotten them." Ea yent through an expressive pantomime behind her. "And pa'll fetch you on Sunday aft- HE BROUGHT ANGELINE BACK WITH HIM. W.N.U.--DETROIT—NO.3 2—1899 AdvtrtUftrtrt MeitiQi TfcU f«Mf. that. My, ain't it. plum interesting? I don't want to miss none of it, do you? How can we fix it?" Pa wa3 so appreciative of his wife's praise he tilted back in the rocker and gave the matter solemn thought. "I calkilate we kin have this all to ourselves," he began, "ef you can hold out 'gainst mentionin1 Devy's comin'. It will be hard work for ye, Drusilly, but it's the only way. Do you think you kin hold that news over prayermeetin' and Sunday? I tell you what," he went on excitedly, "we can just have the whole thing happen right here, meetln' an' all, if you don't tell." Mrs, Gladden's pleasant face fell. "I wonder if It'll be fair not to tell the rest of the folks," she began. "You see, Devy'll be expecting a big welcome." Asahel Gladden rose up In his socks. "Dru8illy, I have Jest set my heart on managing the whole thing. Don't you disappoint me. I never had so much chance as this in all my mortal life. I always wanted to do seen directto' and managin\ and don't you disappoint me." "What'lt folks say when they find we held that news?" asked his wife, much impressed, but giving up, as Tfety'U say you've come to yean of ernoon," went on Mrs. Gladden. "If the snow don't stay on he'll fetch you in the buggy." Afterward Mrs. Gladden declared that pa spent the happiest week of his life getting ready for that couple to be reunited. It never struck his warm and innocent heart that anything could go amiss. He piled up special wood for the parlor, he hovered around the two bedrooms, he actually had his finger in every pie and cake baked. He went to the village store alone once or twice, and, after the last visit, wore an air of the deepest mystery. Mrs. Gladden stood this until the hour of retiring. "Ashahel!" she exclaimed, with a break in her voice, "Asahel, you never had a secret from me in all your life, did you?" The rosy man looked as guilty as if detected in a ctime. He saw her kind eyes and his voice quavered. "Never before," he whispered, "but I'm so afeard you can't hold this one over Sunday meetln' I'm bound not to breathe it." One dry sob brought him to terms. "It air," he whispered, tiptoeing over to her, "it air that I telegraphed to Devy to git here on the Sunday afternooa txpress." Mrs. Gladden's attitude toward tht wortfl. on Sunday morning was th« gossip of the neighborhood for weeka. She suddenly assumed an air of funereal 4t£fiit7, would converse with no one, and stalked silently out after meeting au<i climbed into the sleigh triumphantly. "You've done it," whispered her husband, delighted; 'I didn't credit you with it." After dinner the parlor fire was lit. the table spread for company tea, and Pa Gladden wrapped himself up to go for Angeline. He was so happy his wife's heart trembled. "Pa," she said, "don't you set too much' store by It. Devah may have other intentions, and Angeline may not agree." "Don't you think it!" declared pa. "Angeline air a hundred times prettier that she war. Devy air a man; that settles it all. Now do your part. I've told you jest what to say to her. Leave Devy to me. Men understands men." He brought Angeline and her valises back in an hour. Mrs. Gladden rejoiced in her womanly beauty. She kissed her as tenderly as if she had been a young girl when ehe helped her in. Angeline's face beamed. "How nice you've made everything for me!" she cried. "It's like a homecoming." Her face grew thoughtful. "It makes me think ot old times—old frioads." "Well, just settle down and make yourself at home," said pa, coming in. "I have to be gone an hour or two. You and ma can have a good old talk." A while later he was limping off the falling snow on .the platform of the station. The express stopped, a usual proceeding. A tall, bronzed man alighted and pa met him, so eager he almost cried over him as he shook hands. Alas! Alas! All pa's finesse and subtle phrases were forgotten. He was as nervous as a woman. Finally he reined jn. Dolly, _almpst_in sightof ^he_house. NO REMEDY EQUALS PERUNA, SO THE WOMEN ALL SAY. Miss Susan Wymsr, teacher in the- Richmond school, Chicago, III!, write* the following letter to Dr. Hartman regarding Pe-ru-na. She says: "Only those who have suffered as I have can know what a blessing it is to be abl« to Misa Susan Wymar. find relief in Pe-ru-na. This has been my experience.

She air a widow; she air a finer woman 'n ou could see in a day's travel. It air the desire of my heart to bring you two together.' The man beside him grew palp and gasped, then he wrung the mittened hand. Good Ma Gladden came out to the sleigh. She, too. had forgotten her part. She had been crying and broke down.

He is a quiet young man and tried to keep out of trouble but they pitched into him. His brother, ROBS, came to his rescue and for a moment was getting the better of them. Suddenly a shot was fired from among the fighters and Wm. Zebe of Hamburg said he was shot. The crowd scattered instantly and he wag taken to Dr. Sigler's office where it was found that the ball struck his cheek bone glancing off, making only a flesh wound. There were so many in the "scrap" and they scattered so quickly, that it was hard to fine the guilty ones. However several arrests were made and fines paid. Aa to who fired the shot it is thought to have been done by Hamburg parties who intended to shoot Hinchey but in the mixup hit the wrong person. Other arrests wilTfollow and the end ia not yet. Hon.

' Marguerite judged ft belt to tell Mrs. 'Acland all the story of her long period of mental forgetfuinefls, and received in return several interesting details concerning the courtship of this hateful unknown Arthur Phillips, who, it appeared, used to bring her flowers, and take her out for walks, and for whom she used to watch with intense eagerness day after day. "I seen ybu more'n once holding him round the neck, and crying fit to break your heart; and he always seemed fond of you, too—that he did, and gentle with you as a woman would be." "Mrs. Acland," almost whispered Marguerite, her cheeks burning with shame, "what was he Ilka? Do you remember?" "Oh, my dear, I ain't no hand at describing the quality. I couldn't tell you. Not right-down handsome, but looked a real gentleman." MA real gentleman? Yes, I should think so!" she answered in a tone oi bitter contempt. "Mrs. Acland, this Is very horrible for me to hear, but it Is necessary. Teil me—this man used to come and see me every day?" "Whenever your uncle weren't there, my dear; and when it got to be dusk, lie'd take you out for a walk along the shbre, and you'd be as pleased as pleased could be. You'd come a-running to me, your pretty face all aglow, and your hand3 stretched out, with— 'Oh, dear Mrs. Acland, do please let Sarah dress me—he's a-golng to take me walkin'.' We had no bright days nor running nor jumping when your uncle was about. No, indeed! We was as mum as a mouse then; and Sarah, she used to say, 'See how frightened the poor thing is of him/ We was both fond of you, that we was; an' he, too —this fine Mr, Phillips. 'Mind you take care of her, Mrs. Acland,' he'd "Oh, Mrs. Acland," she exclaimed, "you don't know how dreadfully miserable I am! I don't know what to do. Was any one ever In such a dreadful position—neither married nor single!" "Ay, and with a sweetheart of your own/to— I'll be bound." said Mrs. Acland sympathetically. The sudden flush upon the girl's face answered her. "Dear, dear, I do feel\sorry for you, poor child!" said the woman, whose pity exasperated Marguerite. "Mrs. Acland," she asked abruptly, "should you know this—this Phillips again if you saw him?" "That I should, my dear, unless he's altered strangely," was -the encouraging reply. "That's right. I will just write down your description of him to tell my lawyer. Where did you lay that marriage certificate? 1 shall want to sho^y him tha't, too." "Now, my dear," said Mrs. Acland, "here's what I can't help thinking'll be likely of more use to you than that marriage certificate; and I took and copied that off a letter Mr. Phillips wrote. , He wrote it and left it by accident on the table while he took you out walking; and when he came in, I saw he was in a fine taking at the thought of my having seen it." She laid a piece of paper before Marguerite's eyes. "D. Brandon, Esq,, High Lees, Great Woodenham, Hunts." Marguerite looked steadfastly at the address. "You are right, Mrs. Acland," she said, with repressed ercitement in her tonas—"this is the very thing I have wanted." And even as she gazed at the' paper her resolution was taken. She was all alone; there was no one to hinder her, no one to object. She would take the train and go and visit these scenes of her childhood. t "MIND YOU TAKE CARE OF HER. MRS. AOLAND," HE'D SAY. say.'an' I'll make it worth your while!' —wJiich, to say truth, he did, though I've always regretted I listened to him ever .since, an' it's laid heavy on my conscience, my dear." Marguerite wrung her hands. Oh, to he a man—a man, that she might be revenged on the base wretch who took advantage of her helpless innocence*! "You must be able to give me some Idea of what he looked like," she cried —"something more definite than your opinion that he was a gentleman!" "'WeU, I'll tell you this much—he was a tall man, slender and not much color." "Was he dark or fair?" •Fair^!—promptly. "Tall'and'fair and blackhearted!" murmured Marguerite. "Oh, how I hate hlmi Do you say he used to bring me flowers, Mrs. Acklaad?" "My dear, the most beautiful! you was so fond of flowers. I remember now the sorts he used to hring you— always red and yellow roses and heaps of faro." Marguerite's eyes instinctively wandered to the table, where her sumptuous morning's Instalment of flowers was ranged in a large bowl. Red and yellow roees! A etrange coincidence. For a moment the wild Idea erua*«r her mind that the unknown sender of Chase flowers mijht be her husband. Bed and yellow rotes at once lost their charm, fthe turned away from them With A gesture of dlafost "I believe," ;she murmured, "if once I stood there and saw the place before me, i should remember all about it M CHAPTER/XIV. It was a beautiful autumn day. The Virginia creeper on the little wayside station of Great Woodenham, a mass of scarlet and ^rold. rirslled every now and then in iftie light breeze. The distances melted in blue, mist; the dew still lay in heavy beads on the long grass of the banks and ditches, as Marguerite stepped Jrom the London train and looked about her with wondering, observant eyea. She formed a very fair picture as she stood there, in a neat, well-fitting gray morning dress, and white straw sailorhat trimmed with * knot of white ribbons. Even the solitary porter forgot himself in admiration of her pretty face and charming figure. Marguerite did not see him; ehe was gazing at the board on which the name of the station was painted in large black letlets, "Great Woodenham—far High Lees and Clariadale." She had not grasped* the tact that she was coraing so near to Clariadale. Whjr. she was within a few miles of Bernard, sad of her legal ad»isef. Mi.-MarriniMw?_Eniaaie_ she were to meet them! Her cheeks burned at the thought. Turning, she beckoned to the admiring porter. "In which direction if ClariadeJt fram here r aha asked. "About five miles west o' this, ml«v, but there ainX, no village to speak of— only U>rd Umfraville's place." "Oh—and which is the way to High Lees?" "Right out the other way, m i s s - rather better 'n three mile, miss." "Does Mr. Brandon still live there?" "Yes, miss; but his house is two mile good beyond the village. It's a Ions tramp, miss." "Oh, I am a good walker! I suppose, when I get to the village, any one would direct me to Mr. Brandon's r "Oh, yes, miss." "Then will you tell me the nearest way to the village?" He gave the necessary direction, and with a bright "Thank you," she started off. Marguerite walked on in a state of mind strangely divided between exhilaration and fear. The fresh, pure airthe blue sky, the waving trees, and, above all, the sense of enterprise and daring, were delightful to her. But presently, to her astonishment, she found that the old habitual terror of her uncle was creeping over her. She began to realize that it was \scarcely prudent to trust herself alone; to the tender mercies of the man who had already adopted such measures to be rid of her. She began to think that she was foolhardy; but, being thus far on the journey, nothing would have induced her to turn back. She walked on briskly, secure in the thought that every step was taking her farther from Clarisdale, and that there really was no chance of her being seen. As to Mr. Brandon, she did not want to see him; she wanted to see Cathie; and her remembrance of the back entrance to the house was so vivid that sue felt certain that she could accomplish her object. Anyhow, she was in for it— the issue must be left to fate. She felt the longing for certainty greater than ever. Come what might, she must ascertain who and what was Arthur Phillips, and jfrnefrh'er he ,was living or dead. A letter from Bernard lay in her pocket—a letter full of Lady Mildred. "This is "such an Ideal house," he wrote. "Mine shall be managed just the same. You Should know Lady Mildred—in fact, you must know her. She could teach you so much, especially as regards dress—she understands the art to perfection; and, when you see her, yon must take hints; though of course your style and hers are very different," etc. The letter hurt Marguerite's feelings, though of course she owned bitterly to herself that it was true. She was absolutely ignorant of everything which Bernard SeJwyn's wife should know. She paused against a stile leading into a cornfield, and sat down a minute to rest, for she had walked a couple of ?r.iles at a very rapid rate. As she sr< she heard the galloping of horses behind her on the road, and the soirad of laughter and voices. Urged by an impulse she hardly understood, she climbed over the stile, and paused on the other side, hidden by the hedge, to aee the riders go by. Just ae they rea<;hertl that part of the road they slackened to a foot-pave, and she could -both see and hear distinctly^ There were alhree young men and twe glrla, all well mounted and in high spirits. They were all looking behind them. "Nosign of them!" cried one of the ladles. "My dear Miss Talbot, you wun't see them again this morning; they are off as usual. Perhaps Lady Mildred is •showing him the short eat, to the Home Tarm again!" There was evidently s. joke here. They all burst out laughing. "Selwyn is awfully hard hit, Isn't "he?" said one of the men. "It will be a fine thing for the Umfravllle estates," remarked another, and then the voices became indistinct as the party passed on down ttie lane. Marguerite stood still. Of course she tad known it all before, but it seemed notwithstanding to come u»w her with a sudden shock. She bowed her head on tne stile, and gave way no her trouble forr a time. She d^ not^know how long she stood there; she only knew that what roused her wse the semnd of more horses' feet. She started and shivered, but It was too late to move. Holding on by the rough wood for support, ahe saw them ride elowly past—saw Lftdy Mildrea s pale, proud face, noted the downward curve of her expnessive month, saw Bernard rldiag close—ah, so close!—but could not isaleh the low words that he was, speaking. So they passed, acid it seemed to Marguerite as if the life and gladness of the sunny day passed with them. She waited till the last echo of horses' feet had died away in the distance, and then eiimbed resolutely baek into the mne and continued her journey. She did not care for twenty Daniel Brandons now. Nothing, she thought, could ever stir her emotions again—love and fear were dead together. __ "I have Fved~lhd lu»«d." she saidherself, "and now it is all over. Others have had harder things to hear. I thm." To be eotttmwed. ' Untter Salting. I think it is safe to say that no one who has undertaken to brine-salt butter has continued the process, for the reason that he failed to get the butter salt enough. The fact is, butter does not take salt; it remains in the butter only as brine or undissolved salt, says F. C. Curtis in Hoard's Dairyman. Make fresh butter into balls and immerse them in brine as strong as it can be made, for six months, cut them open and you will find them still fresh. * * • We are proposing to churn the cream to granulation, wash it, and let it drain; then we claim that if It has been done* right the granules will permit the added salt to mix more evenly through the butter and the moisture in the butter will very soon dissolve off the acute angles of the salt in the butter so as to soon destroy the scouring character of the salt on the grain of the butter, hence we see the desirability of having a salt that will dissolve quick. * • * It seems to be conceded that butter is entitled to have 12 per cent of water to remain in it—that this water holds the salt—that salt must not show in the butter undissolved. I claim that there is no better way to add salt to butter than in the granular state in the churn, but there is no certain means of knowing how much water is left in the butter after all the water has drained out, so that not a drop remains. If the cream has been churned rather cold the granules will remain quite fine and more water will remain in that will not drain out; or, if churned a little warmer or until the granules are coarser, much lees vater will remain in the butter after drainage. If twenty pounds of butte? are in the churn in fine granules, the salt added, the churn revolved to mix well —then the churn to rest awhile for th* salt to dissolve—then the revolving of the churn continued until the butter has formed Into balls, there will be found some four quarts of brine to come out. On the other hand, if the churning had been continued until the granules were coarse, probably the surplus brine would not have been over one quart or even less. It must be plainly seen that all the water that was In the butter Is all salted alike, that which comes out, the same as that which remains in to hold the salt, and if one quart remained in the butter to represent the 12 per cent, and one quart came out, half the salt has come out, that If four quarts- came out, three-fourths of the salt has come out, hence the necessity of adding more salt. It seems to me that the claim of brine salting Is untenable, fo* the 12 per cent of water to remain in the butter can hardly <be made salt enough to flavor the butter. If so, why dilute the strength of the salt by adding water to. it, before applying it to the butter, when we already have too much water in the butter? Prof. Farrlngton gives us valuable Information relative to the action of salt on butter, claiming that salt aids in taking the surplus water ou£.of butter. This is clearly correct. For instance, pack a barrel of pork using say fifteen pounds of salt—there is apparently no -water visible—if weighted, in a few days we find -it covered with briiw, without the addition of water; no doubt this is caused by the action of the salt. Rub a fresh ham with salt and much water soon exudes; salt a .green hide, water exudes, runs oil, and the hide, I think weighs less than it did before salting. although the added salt has gone into the hide, and when made into leather, the leather will weigh, more than it would have weighed had no salt been used. I do not believe that salt has much of any effect on preserving butter other than aiding to get out the surplus water; that "butter to keep" must be as free from the leaven of decay as possible, or what Prof. Russell denominates bacteria. Germs in the Fore-Milk.—With regard to the number of germs present in the fore-milk. Prof. Harrison found that in the first few strains of milk removed from the teats they varied from 1S.0Q0 to 54,000 per cubic centimeter; while the numbers present in the remainder of the milk amounted to only tram 890 to 4.S00 per cubic centimeter. These figures clearly demonstrate how important it is that th6 first few drops of milk from e^ch teat should be milked into a separate receptacle and subsequently thrown away, and should on no account be mixed with the bulk of the milk.—Ex.

Kapoolala Apun Kacently Diatf at the Age of 1»7. There died here a few days ago a woman of the age of 127 years. The figures have been verified by Prof- Alexander, the historian; A. T. Atkinson, superintendent of census, and Mrs. E. M. Nakuina, a Hawaiian lady of high cultivation, both in English and her own language, says a Honolulu correspondent of the St. Louis XSlobe- Democrat. The following account of a visit to the old woman three years ago was prepared by Mrs. Nakuina an<! is vised by Prof. Alexander: "On entering the house we found her sitting on the floor. She was attended by two women, one of whom was the wife of a grandson. She was very deaf and could not see clearly, though when I presented a dollar to her ahe held out her hand for it and placed it in her pocket. This was at the close of the interview, but I mention it now to show what the old lady's faculties were: "Prof. Alexander, after some preliminary remarks, in order not to alarm the old lady, suggested a number of historical questions, which were put by myself. From these we learned that she well remembered the abolition of idolatry and the war in that connection. She stated that she was a married woman and an attendant of Kapiolani I. when that queen descended into the crater of the Kilauea volcano, and broke the tabu against woman being in that locality. The old lady said that in consequence of this momentous event her own name was changed by her people from Kepoolele to Apua. "The old lady said that she remem* bered Keoua being killed at KawaJhae. This occurred in 1791, and is described in Alexander's 'History of the Hawaiian People.' "Becoming interested in the subject of old events the aged woman volunteered the information that she remembered the digging of the well in. Katl by Kamehameha I., and'that she w a r a child at that time, running about like a child of 6 or 7. This event occurred in 1781 and is described in Fornander's history. "I followed up another method of investigation, inquiring how many children she had, tracing their descendants. This I was enabled to do to the fifth generation Allowing the ordinary thirty years for a generation would ^VA 13Q years, and we can easily allow for the fifth enough to bring ner out ot the age she claims by a a entirely different method.

The admission fees to a recent prizefight in New York exceeded $85,000, the largest amount ever received for any single performance. This has been cited as a startling commentary upon the times. Bloody noses and cracked crowns, however, are not the delight of the vast majority of our people, nor are bounce and bluster yet widely accepted as the principal virtues of the world. The city of New York, now second only to London In "Its" volume of trade, had but a slow growth for more than a century and-a half after it was settled by the Dutch. President Low of Columbia university cites a prediction uttered more than 150 years ago, and then regarded as rash, to the effect that the port at the mouth of the Hudson might in time become the com- (Copyrlfht 139» by Louis Klopsch) Two modes of divination by which the king of- Babylon proposed to find out the will of God: He took a bundle of arrows, put them together, mixed them together, then pulled forth one, and by the inscription on it decided what city he should first assault. Then an animal was slain, and by the lighter or darker color of the liver, the brighter or darker prospect ot success was inferred. That Is the meaning of the text, "He made his arrows bright, he consulted with images, he looked In the liver." Stupid delusion! And yet all the ages have been filled with 'delusions. It seems as if the world loves to be hoodwinked, the delusion of the text only a specimen of the vast number of deceits practiced upon the human race. In the latter part of the last century Johanna Southcote came forth pretending to have divine power, made prophecies, had chapels built in her honor, and one hundred thousand disciples came forward to follow her. About five years before the birth of Christ, Apollonius was born, and he came forth, and after five years being speechless, according to tradition, he healed the sick, and raised the dead, and preached virtue, and, according to the myth, having deceased, was brought to resurrection. The Delphic Oracle deceived vast multitudes of people; the Pythoness seated in the temple of Apollo uttering a crazy Jargon from which the people guessed their individual or national fortunes or misfortunes. The utterances were of such a nature that you could read them any way you wanted to read them. A general coming forth to battle consulted the Delphic Oracle, and he wanted to find out whether he was going to be safe in'the battle, or killed in battle, and the answer came forth from the Delphic Oracle in such words that if you put the comma before the word "never" it means one thing, and if you put the comma after the word "never" if m^ans another thing just mercial rival of Newport, R. I., which had grown rich by the African slave trade. The conscienceless land dealer seems to have turned his attention to Alaska farming properties. The Juneau Miner calls attention to the fact that the papers of the central west are publishing advertisements of arv Iowa man who proposes to sell at $S per acre "a soil of very deep, dark loam, will grow all kinds of vegetabes, grain, hay in abundance; climate splendid; crop failure unknown; adapted to the raising of cattle, sheep and hogs, dairy and poultry industries." This, the Miner says, is nothing less than a fraud on the public, and that it is "criminal to hold out inducements to 100 families that they can find government land, in Alaska upon which there has been no failure of crops." We hope the unwary will take note of this caution. The popular impression of the effect of cold on disease germs has been made the excuse for tfross carelessness about cleanliness in domestic and public processes and places. A low temperature has been considered a release from sanitary precautions. With the error, truth has had an unequal struggle. An account of experiments with liquid air ought to open the eyes of the sanitarily blind. The temperature of liquid r.lr is over three hundred degrees below zero, and the bacillus of diphtheria and the bacillus of typhoid fever exposed to such freezing conditions were neither killed nor checked in growth. The specialist who made the experiment declarai that so far as our present knowledge permit* of its application, cold cannot be relied on as a disinfectant. Consular reports tell us that there Is an opportunity for American windmill makers to secure a market for their product in Greece. According to these reports the islands and mainland of Greece possess innumerable small farms, laid out in vineyards, vegetable gardens and orange and lemon proves. The soil is rich, but the Important question is that of water, which, when found, is near the surface and supplied to the land by means of wells worked by machinery with mule or horsepower. Many of the land proprietors are well-to-do and could afford windmills. Greece is so cut up by the tea that there is hardly a day in the year without a breeae.

If he was killed, that was according to the Delphic Oracle; if he came home safely, that was according to the Delphic Oracle. So the ancient auguries deceived the people. The pricsta of thoco auguries,- by the flight of birds, or by the intonation of thunder, or by the in'side appearance of slain animals, told the fortunes or misfortunes of individuals or nations. The sibyls deceived the people. The sibyls were supposed to be inspired women who lived in caves and who wrote the sibylline books afterward purchased by Tarquin the Proud. So late as the year 1829, a man arose In New York, pretending to be a divine being, and played his part so well that wealthy merchants became his disciples and threw their fortunes into his keeping. And so in all ages there have tcca necromancies, incantations, witchcrafts, sorceries, magical arts, enchantments, divinations and delusions. The one djf the text was only a specimen of that which has been occurring in All ages of the world. None of these delusions accomplished any good. They deceived, they pauperized the people, they were as cruel as they were absurd. They opened no hospitals, they healed no woundi, they wiped away no tears, they emancipated no serfdom. • * • Admiral Farragut, one of the most admired men of the. American navy, early became a victim of this Christian delusion, and seated not long before bis death at Long Branch, he was giving some friends an account of his (early lift,. He eaid: "My father went down in behalf, of the United States government to put an end to Aaron Burr's rebellion. I was a cabin boy and went along with him. I could gamble in every style of gambling. I knew all the wickedness there was at tthat time abroad. One day my father cleared everybody out, of the cabin except myself and locked the door. He said: 'David, what are you going to Ido? What are you going to be?' 'Well,' 2 said, 'father, I am going to follow the sea.' 'Follow the sea! and be a poor, miserable, drunken sailor, kicked and cuffed about the world, and die of a Ctever in a foreign hospital.' 'Oh, no!' I eaid, 'father, I will not be that, I will tread the quarter-deck and command «LS you do.' 'No, David,' my father said, 'no, David, a person that has your principles and your bad habits will never tread the quarter-deck or command/ My father went out and shut f the door after him, and I eaid then: •I will change; I will never swear Again; I will never drink again; I will never gamble again.' And.gentlemen.by the help of Ood, 1 have kept those three •ows to this time. I soon after that became a Christian, and that decided I my fate for time and for eternity." Another eaptive of this great ChrUtma djloaioa^ Tber* foagflfrt*'Tar- Is he going* To destroy Christiana. He wants no better play spell than to stand and watch the hats and coats of the murderers who are massacring God's children. There goes the same man, This time be is afoot. Where is he going now? Going on the road to Ostia to die for Christ. They tried to whip It out of him; they tried to scaro it out of him; they thought they would give him enough of It by putting him into a windowleas dungeon and keeping him on small diet, and denying him a cloak, and condemning him as a criminal, and howling at him through the street; but they could not freeze it out of him, and they could not sweat it out of him, and they could not pound it out of him, so they tried the surgery of the sword, and one summer day in 6G he was decapitated. Perhaps the mightiest intellect of the 6,000 years of the world's existence hoodwinked, cheated, cajoled, duped by the Christian religion. Ah! that is the remarkable thing about this delusion of Christianity—It overpowers the strongest intellects. Gather the critics, secular and religious, of this century together, and put a vote to them as to which in the greatest book ever written, and by large majority they will say "Paradise Lost." Who wrote "Paradise Lost"? ^ue of the fools who believed In the Bible— John Milton. Benjamin Franklin surrendered to this delusion, if you may judge from the letter that he wrote to Thomas Paine, begging him to destroy the "Age of Reason" in manuscript, and never let it go into type; and writing afterward, In his old days: "Of this Jesus of Nazareth I have to say that the system of morals he left, and the religion he has given us are the best things the world has seen or Is likely to see." Patrick Henry, the electric champion of liberty, was enslaved by this delusion, so that he says: "The book worth all other books put together is the Bible." Benjamin Rush, the leading physiologist and anatomist of his day, the great medical scientist—what did he say? "The only true and perfect religion is Christianity." Isaac Newton, the leading philosopher of his time—what did he say? That man, surrendering to this delusion of the Christian religion, cried out: "The sublimest philosophy on earth is the philosophy of the gospel." David Brewster, at the pronuname every sciential lasting blank, obliteration! Why not present all that beautiful doctrine to the dying, Instead of coming with this hoax, this swindle of the Christian religion, and filling the dying man with anticipations of another life, until some *n the lost hour have clapped their hands, and some have shouted, and some have sung, and some have been so overwrought with joy that they could only look ecstatic. Palace gates opening, they thought—diamond coronets flashing, hands beckoning, orchestras sounding. Little children dying actually believing they saw their departed "parents, so that although the little children had been so weak and gTOMA^t-LIIM STEEL turn on their dying pillow, at .the last, in a paroxysm of rapture uncontrollable, they sprang to their feet and shouted: "Mother, catch me; I am coming." • « • The strong conclusion of every reasonable man and woman is that Christianity, producing such grand results, cannot be a delusion, A lie, a cheat, a swindle, a hallucination cannot launch such a glory of the centuries. Your logic and your common senco convince you that a bad cause cannot produce an illustrious result; out of the womb of such a monster no such angel can be born. There are many who began with thinking that the Christian religion was a stupid farce who have come to the conclusion that it Is a reality. Why are you in the Lord's house today?

Physicians i a y that Davis' case was the most remarkable that has ever come to their knowledge. He was committed to the asylum from Sauk county, having been picked up by the police in Baraboo on account of his queer actions. He was received at the asylum early last August after having spent a couple of weeks in the Baraboo Jail. Shortly before he died he told the hospital physicians that while in the jail he had swallowed all the nails and wire he could get hold of, partly because he had an uncontrollable appetite for them and partly because he wanted to kill himself. The physicians would not believe him and, being accustomed to, hearing all sorts of strange stories, attributed his odd tale to his diseased mind.

Why is it that you can be so calmly submissive to the death of your loved one, about whose departure you once were so angry and so rebellious? There Is something the matter with you.

Gladstone, the strongest intellect in England, unable to resist this chimera, this fallacy, this delusion of the Christian religion, went to the house of God every Sabbath, and often at the invitation of the rector read the prayers to the people. If those mighty intellects are overborne' by this delusion, what chance is there for you and for me? * * * The cannibals in south sea, the bushmen of Terra del Fuego, the wild men of Australia, putting down the knives of their cruelty, and clothing themselves In decent apparel—-aill under the power of this delusion. Judson and Doty and Abeel and Campbell and W1K Hams and the three thousand missionaries, of the cross turning their backs on home and civilization and comfort, and going out amid the squalor of heathenism to relieve it, to save it, to help it, toiling until they dropped into their graves, dying with no earthly comfort about them, and going Into graves with no appropriate epitaph, when they might have lived in this country, and lived for themselves, and lived luxuriously, and been at last put iajto .brilliant sepulCrbers. What a delusion! Yea, this delusion of the Christian religion shoits itself in the fact that It goes to those who are in trouble. Now, It is bad enough to cheat a man when he is well and when he is prosperous; but this religion comes to a man when he is Rick, and says: "You will be well again after a while; you are going into a land where there are no coughs and no pleurisies and no consumptions and no languishing; take courage and bear up." Yes, this awful chimera of the gospel comes to the poor and it says to them: "You are on your way to vast estates and to dividends always declarable." This delusion of Christianity comes to the bereit and it talks'of reunion before the throne, and of the cessation of all sorrow,. And then, to show that this de* luslon will stop at absolutely nothing, it goes to the dying bed and fills the man with .anticipations. How much better It would be to have him die without any more hope than swine and rats and snakes! Shovel him under! That is all. Nothing more left of him. He will never know anything again.

He said, 'There are a good many religions, and I th'nk the most of them are delusions; as to the Christian religion, that is only a notion—that, is a mere notion, the Christian religion.' I said to him: "Stranger, you see that tavern over there?' 'Yes,' he said, 'I see it.' 'Don't you see me?' 'Yes, of course I see you.' 'Now, the time was whj&h everybody in this town knows. If I had a quarter of a dollar in. my pocket I could not pass that tavern without going in and getting a drink; all the people of Jefferson could not keep me out of that place; but*God has changed my heart, and the Lord Jesus Christ has destroyed my thirst for strong drink, and there is my whole week's wages, and I have no 'temptation to go in there; and, stranger, if this Is a notion, I want to tell you it is a mighty powerful notion; it is a notion that has put clothes on my children's backs, and it is a notion that has put good food on our table, and it is a notion that has filled my mouth with thanksgiving to God. And, stranger, you had better go along with me; you might got religion, too; lots of people are getting religion now.'" Well, wfe will soon understand It all. Tour life and mine will soon be over.

Photographs of Poatmastort. Chicago, Record: Postmaster Gordon has presented to the Chicago postoffice a collection of photographs of the postmasters of Chicago, accompanied by a biographical sketch of each. The only photograph missing is that of Jonathan Nash Bailey, Chicago's first postmaster, who, as far as can be learned, never sat for a picture. The pictures are thirteen by eleven inches in size, and, with the sketches, fill a frame five and one-half by seventeen feet The art work is sepia, and the frame Is made of mahogany from the old poetofflce. The first postmaster ot Chicago was appointed In 18SL In the 68 years since 22 men have filled the place. Including the present incumbent, A majority of them have regarding the hardware within him. Finally a careful examination of Davis' body was made and the outline of the nails within the intestines was detected through the abdominal walV The foreign substances in the stomach and intestines had disturbed digestion slightly during the first few months of Davis' confinement in the hospital, and this fact, with the remarkably rugged constitution of the patient, made the physicians discredit hJLa story about having too much iron in the system. However, when the doctors became convinced that there were some foreign substances in the abdomen they determined on an operation. It was performed by Dr. William B. Lyman, superintendent of the hospital, and his assistants, Drs. M. F. Clark and Eugene Chaney. They performed been military men, and several proml • neatly identified with the newspaper j jbufti&Mi what is known as the operation of gastronomy, the stomach beinj opened at the pyloric extremity. The revelations of the surgeons' knives were simply astounding. There, in folds of the stomach and Intestines were Imbedded two dozens nails of all slzG3, from a tack to a twenty-penny spike, ten -pieces of wl*e of4ifferent-sizes-and lengths and two pocketknife blades. The spike, which was six inches long, had passed out of the stomach and lodged crossways in the intestines, causing the latter to adhere to the abdominal walls and forming a sort of dam which prevented the smaller nails and pieces of wire from leaving the stomach. The stomach and intestines were perforated by the nails, the pressure from the sharp pieces of Iron causing an advanced state of ulceration. Though Davis had told the doctors he had also eatgn some pebbles, none were found. The terrible condition of the stomach and Intestines indicated, that the man had slight-chance of recov.ery. After taking out the nails and other pieces of iron, the doctors stitched up the stomach, but Davis never rallied and died about eight hours later. The body was buried in the potter's field, near the asylum. Davis had been on a prolonged debauch just before his arrest at Baraboo. It was while he was in this condition that he was arrested and thrown into the Baraboo jail, thus being deprived of any chance whatever of getting what his system most craved. The first day he was in Jail he happened to pick up an old rusty nail and put it into his mouth. The taste of the corroded iron seemed to have a pleasant and soothing effect and finally Davis swallowed the piece of metal. This relieved him for a short time, but the old craving returned and Davis hunted up another nail. This he also ate, with twenty-two others, at intervals later. Running out of nails, he began to swallow short pieces of wire, the next best thing. His suppy of wire also gave out, and at last he took a small pocketknife and breaking out both ,bades swallowed them. This completely exhausted his supply of meVal, he .afterward confessed p> the doctors, and he went to eating small pebbles and pieces of plaster.

Xavire Byma, a Frenchman, who tame to this country In 1847, wrote an article la L'lllustraUon of Paris, published July 22,1848, giving his experiences on the railroads of the United # States. He says that at that time the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad had a length of seventy leagues and that the coct of the road was 4»U6,744 francs, the receipts 3,988,456 francs and expenses 1,964,741 francs. He also gives considerable space to the interior arrangements of the sleeping cars used at that time and says that, "they are actually houses where nothing is lacking for the necessity of life and are divided into compartments and sleeping rooms, some for men and some for women." Each room held six beds or rather little couches in three tiers along the sides. He winds up his account by saying that valuables were not particularly well taken care of, as in America there "were no such things as sneak thieves." In the 'Good Old Duya.' The fashionable folk at the court of King Edward IV. of England rose with the lark, despatched their dinner at 11 o'clock, and shortly after 8 were wrapped in slumber. In the Northumberland House Book for 1512 it is set forth that the family rose at 6 in the morning, breakfasted at 7, dined at 10 and supped at 4 in the afternoon. Tne gates were all shut at nine, and no further ingress or egress permitted. In 1570, at the University of Oxford, it was usual ,to dine at 11-o'clock, and sUp at 5 in the afternoon. The dinner hour, which was once as early as 10 o'clock, has gradually got later and later, until now it would be thought very eccentric in the fashionable world to sit down to table earlier than half past 1 ^cTocTr^wfille^ottergextendlt~to &— Ladles Can \Year Shoes One size smaller after using Allen's Foot Ease, a powder for the feet.

"Wen, children, would you like to go tonight to the Salon Blanc?" "Yes, yes, papa; how delightful!" shouted a chorus of merry voices. "And you, Claudlne, will you come?" And the father of the family turned to his eldest daughter, a bright-looking brunette of 18, who bad been crossed Jn loy^e. 'I shotrld like very much to go to the Stllon B l a n e ^ m u c h to his surprise. And then she Tan-up stairs after the o/hers to wTap up. Claudlne was only 18; thus alacrity apo»t a fete ought not to have surprlsed\ any one; but she was what Is called y'crossed in love," and for the last three months had taken no interest in her surroundings. M. Bertel, who was a retired lawyer, and very well off, objected to a young man called Louis Gavron, to whom Claudine had given her heart, simply because he had artistic proclivities. Snow had fallen all over Belgium, but in Brussels for two days the air had been clear and frosty! the snow in the park having become quite hard, a snow fete for the poor had been organized— a night fete, too, and in the open air. "Claudlne, I am glad we came," he cried. "Yes, children, of course you can go on the ice; no fear of falling In. Ha! he. Only leave us in peace to look at the groups. Ah, you are looking at the cave with the fortune teller, Claudine, and the young oeauty coming to learn her fate. Excellent, most excellent! I declare it is the best of all." "The sculptor who is responsible for that cave has received the gold medal," announced a voice just behind them, M. Bertel looked around and saw one of his most intimate friends. "Well, he deserves it. Who is he? I should like to make his acquaintance," he said. "Louis Gavron," replied the other, briefly. "Impossible! That young fool who —no, I cannot believe it. And the medal, too? No, no; you are playing a practical Joke on me, Devoost." "Not I. Young Gavron has an immense amount of talent, if you would only believe it." "Louis Gavron—the gold medal!" repeated M. Bertel. It was the gold medal that overcame him. He turned _to see what Claudlne' thought of the matter, but Claudine had disappeared. "She is talking to my wife—at leas. "THIS IS THE WAY YOU BEHAVE WHEN I AM ABSENT." she was a second or two ago," said Devoost. And then he Inveigled M. Bertel into an animated discussion on the politics of the country?. Louis Gavron was his cousin, and Mme. Deyoost's companion when she met Claudine was Louis Gavron himself. He had stood carefully in shadow so as not to be recognized by M. Bertel. Meantime, not a word of the old man's eulogies on his work had escaped him. Dearly as Louis Gavron prized the gold medal, he prized those words of praise from Claudine's father ten times more. "Ma cherie, my beautiful one," he murmured; "did you hear what your father said about my work?" "I am so glad you have that gold medal, Louis. Father will think so much of it. It will almost make him —well, I dare scarcely hope, and yet I do. Oh, blessed Salon Blanc, not only will it benefit the poor, but the poor in heart, like ourselves, will be rejoiced." "Dearest!" They walked along for a few seconds. Then Louis Gavron whispered: "My cousin Devoost has promised to put in a good word for me with your father." At this moment they came upon the family party. M. Bertel's brow contracted when he saw by whom his daughter was accompanied, but he said, a little stiffly: "I must congratulate you, M. Gavron, on your success. The medal you have gained Is, 1 hope, only t'he first of a long series of art triumphs." , Louis Gavron bowed and thanked him, and then the Uertels went home, never a word more being iiald about Lcuis Gavron or their meeting witt him. About 10 o'clock the next day Devoost arrived. "Hurrah for the Salon Blanc!" he shouted. "May they have one every winter if It brings about such good resu!**.** "Whyj Devoost,what has happened?" asked M>Bertel. "Have the poor got a bigger sum than you expected?" "Confound the poor—no, I didn't mean that; but Louis Gavron's fortune is made. Two orders, mon cher, and big ones, too, all owing to the fortune teller's cave. Look here, Bertel, don't you be the only blind-folded individual in Belgium." "What can I do? I am not rich enough to order a statue." M. Bertel knew'quite well what was expected of him, but to pretend to do so would be to give up without a struggle. He gave up the fight, however, when Claudine threw herself on his neck and kissed him as she whispered: "Father, now you have seen he can work you will no longer refuse your consent?" "Of course he won't," cried Devoost. "Come and kiss me, too, Claudine, and receive my congratulations." An hour or two later, when Claudlne wa3 alone, there was a very different expression on her face to the sorrowful one that had lingered there o'. late. Even while she was thinking of this there was a light footfall on the stair. "Louis! You here? How did you know that you might come?" He laughed. "Good news files swiftly, you see. M. Devoost $ald that you had something to tell me." "M. Devoost is a dear. If it had not been for M. Devoost I doUbt if even the fortune teller's cave would have dene any good. "He is a true friend a3 well as a relative," said Louis. "Is is through his influence that I have got two important orders, and he told me only this morning that as he has no children of his own, he looks on me as his son and will meet M. Bertel's views in the matter of an allowance." "Oh, Louis!" And so overcome by emotion was happy Claudine that she looked as if she were going to faint. This, of course, necessitated that Louis should take her in his arms, and there she was when the door unexpectedly opened and her father came into the room. "So, so. This is the way you behave when I am absent. 'When the cat's away,' otc." W e e k l y Crop B u l l e t i n , According to the weekly report of the Michigan weather bulletin the temperature for the state during the past week was *iS degrees, or one degree above normal; the average total precipitation 0.44 of an inch, or 0.00 of an inch below normal; and the sun* shine averaged t>2 per cent of the possible amount. Generally the weather has been dry and h o t The lack of moisture has been felt the most in the southern counties, where pastures are rapidly drying up and corn has rolled considerably. In these counties clso the ground has been too dry for f.\ll plowing. Corn, beans and late potatoes are, however, in generally good condition and have made fair progress during the past seven days. The present condition of corn indicates that it will be safe from froat about Sept 10 in the southern counties, and about Sept 15 in the central and northern counties. Beans are beginning to ripen. The oat harvest is very near completion in most counties, and the bulk of the crop has been well secured. Sugar beets continue to grow finely and are in promising condition.

The ordeal did not last long, for Claudine noticed a glimmering twinkle In his eye and instantly took advantage of it to kiss him and tell him that he had promised her to accept Louis for his son-in-law. And so, even the contretemps of daring to make love before M. Bertel's formal consent had been given was at last overcome, and among all the people who visited the Salon Blanc on that crisp January night there was not a happier couple than brown-eyed Claudine and Louis.—Lloyd's Weekly.

In an English newspaper of the date of Jan. 16, 1797, appears the following: "John Hetherington, haberdasher, of the Strand", was arraigned before the lord mayor yesterday on the charge of breach of ttte peaee and inciting a riot, and was required to give -bond in the sum of £500. It was in evidence that Mr. Hetherington, who Is well connected, appeared upon the public highway, wearing upon his head what he called a silk hat (which was offered in evidence), a tall structure having a shining luster and calculated to frighten timid people. A s a matter of fact, the officers of the crown stated that several women fainted at the unusual sight, while children screamed, dogs yelped, and a young son of Cordwainer Thomas, who was returning from a chandler's shop, was thrown down by the crowd which had collected and had his right arm broken. For these reaspns the defendant was seized by the guards and taken before the lord mayor. In extenuation of his crime defendant claimed he had not violated any law of the kingdom, bat was merely exercising a right to appear in a headdress of hid own design —a right not denied to any Englishman."

Luke White, the father of the first Lord Anmtly, was a poor Manxman who had drifted to Dublin to serve Dehind the counter of a bookseller's shop. In the hope of adding to his scanty earnings he bought a number of lottery tickets for sale, but found himself unable to dispose of thorn all. At the last moment he uectdefl to send the unsold tickets to Belfast, in the hope of finding a better market there; but when the coach had been a day on its journey he received a letter Informing him that the despised tickets had won valuable prizes. Although the news came in the dead of night, Luke White got up immediately, saddled a horse, and raced madly in chase of the coach. He rode through the night and the whole of the. following day, and overtook the coach within a few miles of Belfast. He rescued the bundle of tickets and, returning home, exchanged them for priz.es of the value of $100,000. An amusing story is told of a wicked trick which fortune played a short time ago on a lady. The lady and her husband, who were traveling, called at the shop of a country draper to make a few purchases. They were j about to leave the shop, when an at- ) tractive bonnet arreted the lady's atj tention, and she induced her husband to buy It for her. When it came to payment, however, the husband found, to his dismay, that he had not sufficient money to pay for it. In this dilemma he offered the draper an eighth share ticket in a Hermanlottery which he had in his pur.se, and finally induced liirn to" accept itf in part payment. A few days later the lady learned, to her disgust, that the lottery ticket had won an eighth of 575,000. and that her' "darling bonnet" had thus cost her the ueurd price of nearly $9,500. '.V vas a happy I n f l a t i o n t.nt terrp ed a young lieutenant on the Italian battleship Lepacto to turn hla attention to the Spanish Christmas lottery a couple of years aj?o.

The ticket was bought, and. to the delight of all, was fortunate enough to win the first prize of $lf>f.,000, which was divided among the lucky owners on Christmas Day. A very curious piece of good fortune fell last year to the lot of a poor widow who kept a small shop in a suburb of Berlin. One evening aa she waV serving a customer a working man stepped into the SHOD and begeed permission to light his pine. Drawing a piece of paper from MB pocket, he twisted it up, lit it at tlte gas let. and, after lighting his pipe, threw down the spill and walked out with a word of thanks. When sweeping the floor the next morning the widow took up the charred paper out of idle curiosity, and, unfolding it, saw that It was a lottery ticket, only a fraction of which had been burnt. She folded it up, put it away in her pocket, and had almost forgotten tt, when the result of a large j lottery drawing caught her eye in the \ paper. She then remembered the. crumpled ticket in her pocket, and, on (producing it, found to her amazement and delight that the rejected ticket had won a prize of $50,000. She claimed the prize, and although she advertised widely for Its original owner with the Intention of sharing it with him, she has been left in undisturbed possession of her fortune.

'CONCISE AND INTERESTING, A Burglar While Operation in Boyal 4>*k Came ID Contact With a 33- CeJlbre Bullet — Mlnden City t'arenta Uee Cruel Treatment for Punishment. Weekly Crop Oullatto. T h e w e e k l y crop report issued from t h e U n i t e d States weather office tells a d i s t r e s s i n g talc of drought throughout t h e state. T h e report says: The first t h r e e d a y s of the week were cool w i t h l i g h t frosts tn some of the upper peni n s u l a a n d t h e northern counties of t h e l o w e r peninsula; the last four days w e r e very warm. Moderately heavy • s h o w e r s occurred in portions of the u p p e r peninsula, but not a drop of rain i s reported from any station in the t o w e r peninsula; generally the weather h a s been hot and dry, and this cond i t i o n w a s intensified by the nearly -cloudless s k i e s t h a t have prevailed tnoat of t h e week. T h e effect ou corn, l a t e potatoes, beans and pastures in t h e s o u t h e r n half of the state has been v o r y detrimental; in the principal agric u l t u r a l counties of the lower penins u l a corn and beans are drying up and r i p e n i n g prematurely. Pastures are • e r y b r o w n and late potatoes are n e a r l y at a standstill. Many farmers h a v e been c u t t i n g their corn in order t o save it for fodder, and beans have ripened prematurely and their harvest a l r e a d y begun in some counties. Fall p l o w i n g is fairly well advanced in the central and southern counties, but the parched soil has brought much of this w o r k t o a standstill and farmers are w a i t i n g for rain before resuming preparations for the seeding of fall wheat a n d rye: Rain is therefore very much needed in nearly every county of the l o w e r peninsula. In the upper penins u l a the conditions have been generally favorable and crops have made good progress. . . e - • • - Vcrgler Shot In Royal Oak.

This frightened the burglar^ and he made a rush for liberty by t h e front door exit, which he had t h o u g h t f u l l y unlocked before attacki n g Mr. Millington. By the time the b u r g l a r reached-the-door—>hv- VVileox w a s almost upon him. The burglar pulled his revolver and fired, but the w e a p o n refused to work. Not so w i t h Mr. Wilcox's gun, as he succeeded in p l a n t i n g a 38 calibre bullet in the back of his intruder, which subseq u e n t l y led to his capture. The fell o w gave his name as Frank Temple, b u t refused to tell where he lived. At last accounts the prisoner was alive. *'lr»)>uj* Shut nut Ksca]>eyt. T w o unsuccessful attempts have btvp made to burn the buildings on tin? farm of Matchew Keebler, eight miles north of Clare, and the person or persons are still at luvge.

On the 21st the boy w h i l e on watch discovered a man trying to set the barn on tire and shot nt him. The man returned the fire with a revolver and fled into a nearby cornfield. The kerosene had this time been applied to the sweatpad of a harness 11 ud which he w a s attempting to ignite when discovered. Blood was found in such quantities to prove that the boy's aim had been careful. Keebler is a prosperous and respected farmer aud why such a dastardly attempt should be made to destroy his property is a mystery. • • Wanted to Drive Out the Devil. On the IDth Mr. and Mrs. George Copeland, who live four miles from Minden City, were arrested and lodged in jail at Sanilac Center on the charge of ill-treating their 8-year-old daughter. Before making the arrests the officers discovered that the child had repeatedly been lied up in an out-house and left there for several days and nights; also that the little girl had been tied up and left, in the cellar for five days.

"I haven*': the least fear," Major Delator^. "Then you're a man of unbounded courage," retorted his friend, Ulysses Crinklethorpe. "For—may I venture to be frank?" "Oh, certainly! By all means." "Well, then, they do say thatf Mrs. Flashington drove her first husband Into bis grave by ungovernable temper." "I've heard that before," said MaJ. Delaford, puffing complacently away at bis cigar. "But, of course," with ia sarcastic laugh, "you don't believe It?" "'Bxcuso me," said MaJ. Deleford, seftrely, "I do believe It I have seen, now and then, an expression in Justina's eyes which fully carries out any theory of that nature." "And yet you are going to marry her?" "And yet I am going to marry bar." "Felix Delaford, are you crazy?" "Not that I am aware of." "Will you be honest with me?" "To be sure," nodded the major.. "Then, why do you marry Mr3. Flashington?" "Well, from a variety of reasons. One Is that I like her. She's a pretty little gypsy, with a skin lilce whits relvet, and delicious long lashes to her eyes!" "Proceed." "A second is—mind, now, I never did pretend to be one of the (disinterested lovers one reads about in dime novels —that the dear, departed Flashington left her remarkably weTl off. And I have more merit than money." "I think you will rcpenl it;" said "Mr. Crinkletiiorpe, "for, by all accounts, the black-eyed divinity is neither more nor less than "There are very few actions tn this world that one doesn't repent, In, a greater or Joes degree/" said Maj. Delaford, sententlonsly, "but, averaging things, I'm willing to risk it." And Maj. Delaford was married the next week to Mrs. Flashington. It was not long, as Mr. Crinklethrope .eft" another plan, and scolded steadily fcr three days. "I<ook, here, Justy, this won't do," said the major, at the week'3 end. "I don't fancy either a dumb woman or a fury!" "That I should live to be BO spoken to," whimpered Mrs. Delaford. "So," went on the major, "I have written to my cousin, Rosamond Bly, to come and spend the summer here." "I won't have her in my house!" shrieked the bride. "Bat I will have her in mine," composedly retorted the husband. Vbet me see her presume to enter this house!" cried Justlna. "Let me see you presume to be uncivil to her," said the major, knitting his brows in a way that Mrs. Delaford had never sees in her late husband's •countenance. For, to tell the truth, the late Mr. Flashington had been but a chicken-hearted Individual at best. Mrs. Delaford flounced out of the room and banged the door viciously •behind her. Miss Bly arrived the next day—a cheery-cheeked, bright-eyed girl, with lips wreathed in smiles, and a brandnew traveling suit cut after a deal prettier pattern than the bride's own. Mrs. Delaford refused to speak to her. "Justina." said her husband, in a •warning voice, "this is my cousin, Rosamond. I hope you will make her welcome to our home." But Mrs. Delaford only threw a sllp- 'per at her husband, burst into tears, -and ran hysterically upstairs. "Oh, Felix! what's the matter?" asked Rosamond, half-frightened out of her senses. "Had I better go home?" "By no means, my dear Rosamond," said the major. "You see, I have married a woman with a temper. But she'll be all the more charming when that fault is rooted out of her character." The major went upstairs and tried to open the door. It was locked. "Justlna." he said, gently, "it is I. Let me in." "I won't snapped the bride. "Will you come downstairs, then?" "I will not come out of my room una frightened sort of way to his arm. "How do you feel now, my dear?" he asked, solicitously. "Pm well enough," snarled Mrs. Delaford. "Open that door quick!" "Mad! Very mad, Indeed!" said MaJ. Delaford, in sotto voce, turning to Rosamond. "Ruffian!" cried the bride, "how dare you speak so?" "Getting violent!" added the major, shaking his head. "Let me out, I say!" persisted Mrs. Delaford, rattling at the bars. "What does this absurd mummery mean?" "Perhaps a strait waistcoat would be advisable," said the major. "But as long as she remains tolerably manageable I shall not send her to an asylum," Mrs. Delaford began to cry. "Oh, Felix, how can you talk so?" sobbed she. "I am as sane as you are." "Poor thing!" murmured the major, compassionately. "The hardest part of Insanity must be when one becomes partially conscious of its deadly doom." Mrs. Delaford shut the door rather vehemently and began to cry hysterically. "I'm not mad!" said she. "I won't be made a madwoman of!" But how to help herself—that was the question. The door was barred effectually—the windows opened upon the dead wall of a neighboring Institute of the Fine arts, and were three stories above ground. She might have shrieked herself hoarse in that direction before any one could hear her. She sat down to think. What should she do? What was to become of her? Did that dreadful hint of Felix concerning an asylum mean anything? For once in her life Mrs. Flashington was actually frightened. "Has my temper really been so terrible," she asked herself, "that people mistake it for—I can hardly breathe the word—insanity?" It was a new idea; she pondered over it carefully and cried bitteily over it. When Hetty came, as usual, with the napkin-covered tray, Mrs. Delafbrd'a face was pale and tear-swollen. "Hetty," said she, "will you ask your master to step "up here for a few minutes?" Maj. Delaford obeyed the summons at once. "Well, my love," said he, "what is it?" "Felix," said Mrs. Delaford, bursting into fresh tears, "I have acted very foolishly. I beg your pardon. And I beg Rosamond's pardon, too." MaJ.~Detaford opened—the—grated door at once—Justina flew into his arms—and then there was a reconciliation after the most approved style. -Mrs, Delaford was a s sweet as A m e r i c a n M r a U In Germany. American meats are indeed having a bard time in the German empire, due to the fact that the German farmers and their friends throughout the country take every oportunity to prevent the sale of such meats. It Is not practicable for them to get a law of actual prohibition passed, as they are unable to prove that American meats are dangerous to the health of the people, but they insist on such restrictions being made that the sale of the meats takes place under great difficulties and frequently Is made so expensive that the buyers refuse it for that reason alone. United States Consul Barnes of Cologne says: "I learn that, for the last fifteen years, there were officially confirmed in the kingdom of Prussia 3,003 cases of illness from trichinae, 207 of which resulted in death. Of these total numbers there could be traced to the eating of European meats, examined in Germany and found to be free from trichinae, 1,242 cases and 102 deaths. The remaining cases could also be traced to European meat, but meat that had not been examined. In not one of the above cases could it be proved that the disease resulted from the use of American salted, pickled or tinned meat, or of smoked sausage. This statement holds good for all Germany. » * * When in 1891 the edict against sausage and pork products from America was canceled, no inspection of sausage or pickled pork was required until July 1, 1898. Since then both products are subject to inspection. This will result in the absolute exclusion of sausage and pickled pork or boneless hams from the German market. In the case of baneles3 hams the cost of inspection amounts to $3.57 per 220 English pounds. Add to this the duty, which is $S.33 on 220 pounds of meat, and it is*seen that the cost amounts to prohibition. * * * As regards the inspection of American sausage, I learn that three pieces are taken for Inspection purposes from every two pounds of sausage. By this means the sausage is much injured, if not entirely ruined for selling purposes, inasmuch as this process not only has a tendency to cause the meat to become dry and hard, but the meat bears plain evidences of having been inspected, which is not a very flattering testimonial as to its value for food. On the other hand, German sausagi is subjected to no such inspection afte! it is in shape for selling, as it is inspected before it is made up into commercial form or put on the market.* y » "For the Sake .of Fan Mischief is Done* A vast amount of mischief is done, too, because people neglect to keep their btocxf mire* Jt appears in eruptions, dyspepsia* indigestion* nervousness, kidney diseases* and other ailments.

A clergyman of Georgia was once standing In the courthouse when a Hoosier came in to see the ordinary in pereoBT to procure a marriage license. The coontryman asked for a "pair of licenses," and on making the purchase necessary to being united in the holy bonds of matrimony inquired of the ordinary: "Who can I git to marry me?" The ordinary replied that he could perform the ceremony, or the parson, standing near, would probably accommodate him. The countryman ttfrned to the parson and asked if he would marry him. The parson readily consented and asked the would-be bridegroom: Where's your gal?** He replied: "Out yondeT— in * the street." The parson said, "Fetch her in.** Then she was "fotch" in and the "knot tied.

Good care, ample food and judicious exercise are the essentials at this time. By ample food is not meant over-feeding. Some grain should be fed during the summer, but not so much that the little fellow will bo indisposed to eat freely of grass or other bulky food, for the latter is necessary to the proper development of his stomach and digestive organs. Two pounds of oats a day should be given to the colt after weaning, and he should be allowed to learn to eat some even before weaning. Vary the grain feed with barley or even corn; and if occasionally ground grain in a thick slop is given the effect will be good. But this feeding should be moderate, and not' calculated to develop overmuch fat. Exercise the colt should have, but that, too, temperately. Over-exertion would be astbad for the colt as no exertion. It is well, also, to begin breaking or educating the colt at an early age. Secure its confidence by kind treatment and gentle words, accustom It to strange sights, to sudden noises and other alarming; things, enough to teach it that they are not dangerous, and so begin to develop the mind as well as the body of the horse.that you want to see command a good price later on.

C round Paris which are probably unequaled for the purposes for which they are Intended by any similar fortifications in the world. A well-informed military writer, a niPxLtr of the general staff of the ^etuijn ar-n/, has given It as his op1r>'' n that a *ucr**Bful selge of Paris would \". unler present conditions, an impossible undertaking. The new fortifications that surround •he French capital, says Pearson's, are some fifteen or twenty mi>« fi om the city, and are connected with Paris and with each other by a railway system, which would enable the French commander to ouickly mass at one point a Very large body of men. while the general of the besieging army, if he wisheti to n.-evpnt ihe city from obtaining supplies and thus shut up the people and the army that was deforcing it. would have to occupy a line extending more than one hundred, miles and hence could not by any possibility collect a large number of his force at any one point to resist with even a shadow of hope an attack of the enemy. It required a German army of, approximately ,500,000 men to lay s/ege to Paris from September 19, 1870, to January 30, 1871; but the authority we refer to is of the opinion that to repeat the same operation a German besieging, army would have to number more than 2.000,000 men, and the work of maintaining such a force and properly handling its parts would be something which few governments would care to undertake and few military comr-Vanders would be able to efficiently perform. The French have spent upon these nfw fortifications an amount variously estimated at from $30,000,000 to $50.- Oro.f'00, and hence can well afford to se',1 the land occupied by some of the now obsolete fortifications of a generation ago. anchi e ' r ' ' P' A reel out of * l o i r f i ^ ' V ^ :i V< ; hur c ' m i i ~ e,T : vr. m e n huiul'•< <\ cs crn J o i ' - i r !

There Is no use trying to keep In confinement a curious little creature known as the metal-cutting beetle. Not long ago an entomologist caught one of these beetles and. unaware of its peculiar ability for sawing through anything in its way, put it in a cardboard box. Soon tiri-g of solitary confinement. or probably thinking its cap- : tor had forgotten to provide it with a door, the beetle cut one for itself and ' crawled out. ! It was cap-lured and put in a wooden box, and as soon as the novelty of us new home wore off. again the persevering insect cut a hole in the box and escaped. The next time tb* escaped prisoner was caught it was put in a small glass . jar with a tight-fitting pewter cover, punctured to let in air.' But the metal cutting beetle from Mexico scorned to live in a pepper box and gnawed a ho'e big enough to allow it to creep out into the big world again. And this time. ! it was not caught.

Some people were evidently born tired and some for the purpose of making others tired. It's a bad thing for an employe when he begins to think the boss couldn't get along without him. The genius who invented the hugging bug was doubtless inspired by a desire to give the old maids a chance.

'The Eye Cannot Say Unto tl»» Hand: I Have No Neod of Thee"—From the First' Book of Corinthian*, Chapter IS) T e n * 81. William Waldorf Astor has formally renounced all allegiance to the stars and stripes and sworn to stand firm forever beneath the British flag. America will doubtless recover from the blow in time, but the sufferings of England deserve our earnest sympathy. Benedict Arnold renounced - allegiance to this country and in favor of England quite a number of years ago, eo Mr. Astor is not particularly quick at doing good. Kaiser Wilhelm avers that a collection of big navies would be the most t effective peace conference the world has ever seen—that each power should have a navy so large that none of the other powers would dare to risk an attack upon so formidable an adversary. If the plans now being carried out for the strengthening of the American navy go through successfully, this country will be a decided factor in the kaisers' theory of universal peace. There is a volume of suggestion in an exclamation of an old woman, given by & correspondent of the Boston Transcript, in the following paragraph: "This is the season when some effort is made to get the less fortunate classes out of the torrid and sordid slums and into God's open spaces. Upon one of these 'fresh air* excursions jwas an old woman who was given her first vTew~6T The-oceaur had a pretty pinched time all her life, I guess, for as she looked over the great expanse of water she exclaimed, fervently, 'Well, thank God for something there's enough of!'

Ex-Queen LHinokalani says the Hawaiian islands are "in a state of practical anarchy," the government being in the hands of an oligarchy and the rights of the native Hawaiians not respected. The ex-qucen is scarcely an Impartial observer. Anarchy undoubtedly prevails in so far as her ex-highness is concerned, but other observers give a very different account of conditions en the island. As to her own claims for pension, it is pleasant to know that Liliuokalani believes in the "honorable intentions" of the United States government, though she has wisely concluded not to sit on the ateps of the capital at Washington until they are carried out. The government's disposition of the Spanish cruiser "Reina Mercedes" will form ah interesting innovation. It baa been decided not to sell her or to, repair her for i:crvlce, as she is noj worth the expense it would involve, but to put her sufficiently in order to prevent further injury or decay, and then keep har permanently on public exhibition, as a memorial of the war. Hitherto such vessels as "Old Ironsides and the Hartford have been preserved, through eentimeat and a» reminden-of our naval achievements, but now for the nrst time a ship taken In battle la thus to be used. The circumstance will gratify ou* national pride in the prowess of our navy, but we are sure it.will not cause exultation because of our antagonists' humiliation. The Honolulu authorities are considering the advisability of locating a cemetery In the crater of the Punchbowl, an extinct volcano. The only objection thus far offered is that if not osed for ft cemetery it might some day become available for an amusement resort and ^residence section, especially if an adequate water supply could be conveyed to so great a height Says the Hawaiian Gazette: "Everything looks beautiful inside the crater. The kiawe trees are growing well. These and other trees were planted there by the direction of the late King Kalakaua. The lantana flourishes, of course.

Fifty thousand workmen In Chicago eeasing work in one day; Brooklyn stunned by the attempt to halt its railroad cars; Cleveland in the throes of a labor agitation, and restlessness among toilers all over the land have caused an epidemic of strikes, and somewhat to better things, I apply the Pauline thought of my text. You have seen an elaborate piece of machinery, with a thousand wheels and a thousand bands and a thousand pulleys all controlled by one great water wheel, the machinery so adjusted that when you jar one part of it you jar all parts of it. Well, human society is a great piece of mechanism controlled by one great and ever-revolving force—the wheel of God's providence. You harm one part of the machinery of society and you harm all parts. All professions interdependent. All trades interdependent. All classes of people interdependent. No such thing as independence. Dives cannot kick Lazarus without hurting his own foot. They who threw Shadrach into the furnace got their own bodies scorched. Or to come back to the figure of the text, what a strange thing it would be If the eye should say, I oversee the entire physical mechanism. I despise the other members of the body, if there is anything I am disgusted with, it is with those miserable, low-lived hands. Or, what if the hand should say, I am the boss workman of the whole physical economy; I have no respect for the other members of the body. If there is anything I despise, it is the eye seated under the dome of the forehead doing nothing but look. I come in and I wave the flag of truce between these two contestants, and I say: "The eye cannot say to the hand, 'I have no need of thee.' " That brings me to the first suggestion; and that is, that Labor and Capital are to be brought to a better understanding by a complete canvass of the whole subject. They will be brought to peace when they find that they are identical in their interest.-;. Wheh one goes "do whTTh eyboTh go down. When one rises, they both rl^e. There will be an equilibrium after awhile. There never was an exception to the rule. That which is good for Every speech that Labor makes against Capital postpones the day of permanent adjustment. Every speech that Capital makes against Labor postpones the day of permanent adjustment. When Capital maligns Labor, it is the eye cursing the hand. When Labor maligns Capital it is the hand cursing the eye. As far as I have observed, the vast majority of capitalists are successful laborers. If the capitalists would draw their gloves, you would see the broken finger nail, the scar of an old blister, the stiffened finger joint. The great publishers of the country for the -most part yere bookbinders, or typesetters, on small pay. The great carriage manufacturers for the most pare sandpapered wagon bodies in wheelwright shops. While, on the other hand, in all our large manufacturing establishments you will find men on wages who once employed a hundred or five hundred hands. The distance between Capital and Labor is not a great gulf over which is swung a Niagara suspension bridge; It is only a step, and the capitalists are crossing over to become laborers, and the laborers are crossing over to become capitalists. Would God they might shake hands while they cross. On the other hand, laborers are the highest style of capitalists. Where are their investments? In banks, No! In the railroads, No! Their nerve, their muscle, their bone, their mechanical skill, their physical health are magnificent capital. He who has two eyes, two ears, two feet, two bands, ten fingers, has machinery that puts into nothingness carpet and screw and cotton factory, and all the other implements on the planet. The capitalists were laborers, the laborers were capitalists. The sooner we understand vhat the better. Again; There is to come relief to the laboring classes of this country through co-operative associations. I am not at this moment speaking of trades unions, but of that plan by which laborers put their surplus together and become their own capitalists. Instead of being dependent upon the beck of this capitalist or that capitalist, they manage their own affairs. In England and Wales there are 813 co-operative associations. « They have 340,000 members; they have a capital of $18,000,000, or what corresponds to our dollars, and they do a business annually of $63,000,000. Thomas Brassey, one of the foremost men in the British parliament on the subject says: "Cooperation is the ode and the only re Is the path," he says, "by which they ere to come up from the hand-to-themuuta ftljie oi l m u s , u> lea.v me rewards and the honors of our advanced civiliratlon." Lord Deroy and John Stuart Mill, who gave half their lives to the study of the labor question, believed in co-operative institutions. The co-operative institution formed in Troy, N. Y., stood long enough to illustrate the fact that great good might come of such an institution, if it were rigntly carried on and mightily developed. "But," says some one, "haven't these institutions sometimes been a failure*" Yes. Every great movement has been a failure at some time. Application of the steam power a failure, electro-telegraphy a failure, railroading a failure, but now the chief successes of the world. "But," says some one, "why talk of surplus being put by laborers into cooperative'associations, when the vast multitude of toilers of this country are struggling for their daily bread, and have no surplus?" I reply: Put into my hand the money spent by the laboring classes of America for rum and tobacco, and I will establish cooperative associations in all parts of this land, some of them mightier than any financial institutions of the country. We spend in this country over $100,000,000 every year for tobacco. We spend over $1,500,000,000, directly | or indirectly, for rum. The laboring classes spend their share of this money. Now, suppose the laboring man who has been expending his money in those directions, should just add up how much he has expended during these past few years, and then suppose that that money was put Into a co-operative association, and then suppose he should have all his friends in toil, who had made the same kind of expenditure, do the same thing, and that should be added up and put into a co-operative association. And then take all that money expended for overdress and over-style and. over-living on the part of toiling people In order that they may appear as well as persons who have more income—gather that all up atfa^-you could have co-operative associations all over this land. I am not saying anything now about 1^^^^..^^0^3,^...^^011. want to know what I thi^ik of trades unions. I think they are mosTTJei^eficial in some directions, and they have a specific object, and in this day, when there are vast monopolies—a thousand monopolies concentring the wefalth cf the peple into the possession7^ of a few men, unlessthe labor Jag^ men_of_jh_ls country and all countries band together they will go under. There is a lawful use of a trade union, but then there is an unlawful use" of a trade union. If it means sympathy in time of sickuess, if it means finding work for people when they are out of work, if it mean3 the improvement of the financial, the -moral cr the religious condition of the laboring classes, that is all right. Do not singers band together in Handel and Haydn societies? Do- not newspaper men band together In press clubs? Do not ministers of religion band together in conferences and associations? There is not in all the land a city where clergymen do not come together, many cf them once a week, to talk over affairs. For these reasons you should not blame labor guilds. When they are doing their legitimate work they are most admirable, but when they come around with drum and fife and flag, and drive people off from their toil, from their scaffoldings, from their factories, then they are nihilistic, then they are communistic, then they are barbaric, then they are a curse. If a man wants to stop work let him stop work, but he cannot stop ms from work. But now suppose that all the laboring classes banded together for beneficent purposes in co-operative association, under whatever name they put their means together. Suppose they take the money that they waste In rum and tobacco, ar.d use it for the elevation of their children, for their moral, Intellectual a i d religious improvement, what a different state of things we would have In this country, and they would have in Great Britain! Do you not realize the fact that men work better without stimulant? You say, "Will you deny the laboring men this help which they get from strong drink, bcrne down as thej are with many anxieties and exhausting work?" I would deny thf.-m npthing that Is good for them. I would deny them strong drink, if I had the power, because it is damaging to them. My father said. "I became a temperance man in early life because I found that in the harvest field, while I was naturally weaker than the other men, I could hold out longer than any of them; they took stimulant and I took none." Everybody knows thoy cannot endure great fatigue—men who Indulge in stimulants. All our young men understand that. When they are preparing for the regatta, or the ball club, or the athletic wrestling, they abstain from strong drink. Now, suppose sll this money Caat is wasted were gathered together and put into co-operative institutions—Oh! we would hate a very different state of things from what we have now. Let me say a word to all capitalists. Be" your own executors. Make investlief for the laborfng~pbpulitloni. This m«mts for eternity Tto not he rlfce s o w of those capitalists I know who walk •round among their employes with a aupercinuu* a a , yr U n ^ up tory in a manner which ceems to lndl cate they are the autocrat of the universe, with the sun and moon in -their vest pockets, chiefly anxious *hen thej go among laboring men not to be touched by the greasy* or smirched hand and have their broadcloth in* jurcd. Be a Christian employer. Hemember those who are under your charge are bone of your bone and flesh of your flesh; that Jesus Christ died for them and that they are immortal. Divide up your estates, or portions of them, for the relief of the world, before you leave it. Do not go out of the world like that man who died to New York, leaving In his will $40,000,000, yet giving how much for the church of God? how much for the alleviation of human suffering? He gave some money a little while before he died. That was well; but in all this will of $40,000,000 how much? One million? No. Five hundred thousand? No. One hundred dollars? No. Two Cents? No. Ono cent? No. These great cities groaning In anguish, nations crylrg out for the bread of everlasting life. A man in a will giving forty millions of dollars and not one cent to God. It is a disgrace to our civilization. Or, as illustrated in a letter which I have concerning a man who departed this life, leaving between five and eight millions of dollars. Not one dollar was left, this writer says, to comfort the aged workmen and workwomen, not one dollar to elevate and Instruct the hundreds of pale children who stifled their childish growth in the heat and clamor of his factory. Is it strange .aat the curse of the children of toil follow such ingratitude? How well could one of his many millions have been disbursed for the present and the future benefit of those whose hands had woven literally the fabric of the dead man'a princely fortune. O! capitalists of the United States, be your own executors. Be a George Peabody, if need be, on a small scale. God has made you a s t e w a r d - discharge your responsibility. My word is to all laboring men in this country: I congratulate you at your brightening prospects.

PTaTo~pald one thousand three hundred dollars for two books. Jerome ruined himself financially by buying one volume of Origen. What vast opportunities for intelligence for you and your children. A working man goes along by the show window of some great publishing hotise and he sees a book that costs five dollars. He saya, "I wish I could have that information; I wish I could raise five dollars for that costly and beautiful book." A few months pass on and he gets the value of that book for twentyfive cents in a pamphlet. There never was such a day for the-worklngmen of America as thla day and'the day that Is coming. I also congratulate you "because your work is only prefatory and introductory. You want the grace of Jesus Christ, the Carpenter of Nazareth. He toiled himself, and ho knows how to sympathize with all who toil. Get his grace In your heart and you can sing on the scaffolding amid the etorm, in the shop shoving the plane, in the mine plunging the crowbar, on shipboard climbing the ratlines. He will make the drops of sweat on your brow glittering pearls for the eternal coronet. Are you tired, he will rest you. Are you sick, be will give you help. Are you cold, he will wrap you In the mantle of his love. Who are they before the throne? "Ah!" you say, "their hands were never calloused with toil." Yes they were; but Christ raised them to that high eminence. Who are these? "These are they that came out of great tribulation and had their robe3 washed and mado white In the blood of the Lamb." That for every Christian working man and far every Christian workingwoman will be the beginning of ctcinal holiday. Tba Elder's Inspiration. At the close of the forenoon session cf a ministerial conference, in announcing the opening subject for the afternoon, the presiding officer said: "Elder H. will present a paper on 'The Devil.'" Then he added earnestly: "Please be prompt in attendance, for Brother H. has a carefully prepared paper, and is full of his subject."

Little as she felt Inclined for it, the food did her good, and, When she bad finished, the people directed her to Mr. Brandon's. "Could you tell me," she asked timidly, "If Mr. Brandon is at home just now?" The woman giggled, and looked at her daughter, who also giggled. "No, he ain't," she said. "He's got married," giggled the daughter. "And he's gone for his weddingtrip," added the mother. "Dear m e ! " s a i d Marguerite, la astonishment. "Yes. He's married the doctor's daughter.

"Yes—rolling in my money/' inwardly thought Marguerite, as, Inspired with "frish resolution, she pald^ne? mode^trreckoning, and started onwards once more. Pull of thought, «he walked rapidly forward, and hardly noticed where-she was going, till suddenly she stopped with a start; for she was In a place which she remembered. I t was a large, level meadow, through which ran a stream, shaded by alders and fringed with, river weeds. path between high clipped wall* of privet she paused. "His name was 'Sultan,' of course," s h e ' said,- "I remember i t well enough." Her heart beat with a strong agitation «s she reached the end of the privet walk. She knew she had but to turn the corner of that clump of flowering shrubs, and she should see the white columns of the heavy porch. Her steps faltered. For a moment she stopped and held her breath. A sort of superstitious fear seized her. She felt as if, once she turned that corner, the solution of her difficulties would stare her in the face. It took but a moment to conquer the feeling. Slowly she passed round the thick barrier of laurel, yew, and holly, and there flashed upon her sight the same picture which had presented Itself that evening long ago; and her heart almost ceased to beat for an instant, and her mind was filled with * ghastly consciousness of delusion, A man was leaning against the white pillar of the porch—a man with his arms folded and his head bowed; his whole attitude was expressive of the most hopeless and absolute dejection. He had not heard her footstep; he remained perfectly motionless, but the girl reeled and staggered back a pace or two in a feeling of helpless terror. The man was there—it was the same man who stood there before—and yet It was the last man whom she would have expected to see. It was Mr. Martineau! The rush of ideas was too qulclc, too instantaneous to enable her to reason; she only fell back as if suddenly struck in the face, and, as it seemed, "BUT IT WAS I," H E SAID, TO MY EVERLASTING DEGRADATION." A little rustic bridge crossed the BtreamV and In the distance, behind ft clump 6f dark trees, a thin line of blue' smoke went up, showing where the house lay. Marguerite let herself into the meadow, and wandered across it like one in a dream. She went and stood on the bridge, and stared down at the clear water. Little Incidents came crowding upon her memory. It was here she had sat »80 late, absorbed in her book, oh,.the evening of' her attempted escape. She remembered how she had watched the sua behind that very clump of trees; she recalled the splendor of the sky; she heard again the caw of the rooks as they flew home in long graceful line*, looking eo densely black againet the glowing s t y ; she almost felt the dampness of the dew on the pasture as her small feet threaded the misty meadow as she went homeward. Yielding to the Impulse at the moment, she left the bridge and went wandering on, making for a small w h i t e ; w i c k e t , which apeared in the d a r k prtarate hedge. Step by step she traversed the very way she had gone t h a t evening when she saw her uncle's tfuest leaning against the porch. She •would approach the house this way, « o t by the drive and front gate. Daniel Brandon was away—there was no •one to say her nay. The wicket clicked u n d e r h e r light touch. A deathly ' stillness reigned -around. Was the wa.tch dog dead, ahe wondered—the dog whose name aha 1lA4 go often tried to remember? l a a without her own volition a name spasmodically left her lips. "ValJ" she cried. The short syllable appeared to ring out like a bell, so startling was the sound. The man who heard It started; his eye3 met those of Marguerite, aud for some moments they remained so—each staring at the uther with the terror of the first surprise written on their haggard faces. Through the girl's m i n d ' w a s stealing the awfui conviction that this was ho delusion, but a horrible reality—a thing that could not be rejected. Twice it seemed as if he would speak—twice he made an unavailing movement towards her; then, with a despairing gesture he turned away, and covered his face with his hands. Slowly, with compressed lips, Marguerite approached him. She went nearer and nearer; and at last, with a strong effort of will, laid a hand upon bU arm. He stared again, and raised hie face, gazing at her with a look of dumb, despairing appeal. "I wanted to see," she said, huskily, "if you were real, or whether you were a nightmare. You are real—you are a man—oh, moat unmanly! Oh, coward! What am I to do? Oh, what am I to do?" "You urged me to confess," said a hollow voice, "but I had not sufficient courage. I dared not tell you what a wretch I was; I could not bear to thttik of your eyes turned upon me wH* contempt for a deed so rile. Confession would have been terr'.V.e, but not so terrible a s this, Marguerite " "Hold!" she said, shrinking from him with an air of disgust which made him wince. "Is this true? Is It really so, or are you and I both mad? Teil me—tell me—oh, don't say ill I have liked you so—trusted you so—dop't say you are the wretch for whom I have been searching all this time!" "I am the man who injured you," he said, huskily, "and would give my life to be able to deny it. See," he said, uesperately, "I am at your mercy—say what you please to me; do as >ou like! Set me any penance; I swear to perform it. I loathe myself and my fault. Could a man's humiliation he more complete?" "You!" she ejaculated, turning Imploring, piteous eye3 up to his. "You —oh, you!" "It was worse than Oaesar'a 'E«t tu, Brute!" Valdane was rallying his manhood. He had been terribly unnerved at the eight of her. Dally, since he parted from her in London, had he haunted the old house, head and heart filled only with the thought of that one woman. To look up and behold her had been to him only the realization of a daily dream. Now that the first feeling of horror and shame was over, and he stood so utterly condemned, it seemed as if, by comparison, those lost few days had been full of radiant hope. It was over. What remained to him was the bitter humiliation of having to let Bernard Selwyn know of his wrong-doing, and his exile from Marguerite forever. P R E S I D E N T UUER1N CHAPTER XVI. She had walked a few paces away from him; now she came back, and stood looking into his face. "Oh, say you did not do it!" she cried. "It would be useless to say so; you know I did it," he returned mournfully^/^ Y^mia-emember me; I saw it in y / u r eyes Must now. You called me 'Val' as N taught you to do in those old days. I stand convicted. I ask for no mercy." "Mtrcy! Did you show me mercy when I was helpless and in your power?" she cried, a burning blush creeping into her face. "Oh, to think of it all! To think of how you used to deceive me—of how I used r.o— to " She hid her cheeks with her 'hands. He was blushing as deeply as (he; •but he struggled for seK««ontrol. "Oh, Marguerite, y s c torture m e ! " he said, with a xroa/i. "And you ars not content t h a t I am fallen so low? Lister—listen! The other day you urged ZJ& to confess—to atone! It was not too late for some poor sort cf atonement. I can set you free; and meanwhile—meanwhile"— falterin;: — ~"Th~ere~ is something I would tefi you. Will you hear me?" "Yes," she answered, weeping. "I will hoar you. I do not want to be unmerciful." She sat down in the porch seat. Valdane leaned against the pillar and bent over her. ."T should like to tell you here," he said, In a low tone—"here, where we first met. What I want to say is ''.his —there is no need for you to purMsh me; my punishment has overtaken roe already. The retribution is peculiarly just and fitting. The woman I wronged so is the woman I love. Do I insult you by those words? Hardly. Love is free to all. I love you as I never thought to love any woman— with a love which nothing can tear from my heart. Is that not punishment bitter enough—that the one woman I would make my wife should be the woman whose greatest sorrow is the shadow tie that binds her to myself." She shuddered. There was a fire of passion in his voice which terrified and astonished her. "See," he said, "when I break t h a t tie —when that marriage of ours is dissolved, I break my heart, too! It is a poor sort of atonement. Suoh as it is, I lay it at your feet." She could find no words in which to reply to him. A feerrng of ptty was stealing over her. She knew the bitterness of a love that was not returned. "I would give worlds," she faltered presently, "for it to have been, any one else but you. But—hut ** "But It was I," h* said, "to my everlasting degradation." There was silence, only broken by an occasional sob from Marguerite. A lark shot up into the sunny sky, and sang rapturously. The branches rustled softly in the breeze; and Valdane longed to prolong each minute that went by—the las*, minute he should spend with her. At last she stirred. "T will go back again," she said. There were a few moments of hesitation; then with an effort she said, "Good-by." The pain seemed too* great to bear. He leaned vimplcriqgly over her as she sat. (To be continued.)

CONCISE AND INTERESTING, Tax Faycra $hMld •elvea With tk« Relative to Vm Youthful Bel Familiarize Themr > m n la the Law e»M Taxes — Four Held op by Pals. Of Interest feft Was Payer*. As time for paying atatc and county taxes will soon be at hand, the taxpayers of the state will be interested Jn several important amendments made k) the general tax law by the last legislature. Section 59, which formerly provided for interval o n delinquent taxes at the rate of 8 per cent per anuum and the addition of a 4 per cent collection fee, was aero ode d so as to make the penalty 1 percent a month, the additional collection fee being retained. Under the previous law there was no charge for the coat of advertising, e t c , until the lands had been advertised and made subject t o sale. The advertisement was mado in April and there was no charge on the account mentioned until the land was actually offered for sale. An amendment increases this expense from 70 cents to 81 per description, and makes the charge a lien upon the land on Oct. 1 next preceding the time prescribed for the sale of the land. Lands now held for unpaid taxes of 1897 will be sold for taxes, an less the latter are sooner paid, in May n e x t Under the old law the expense of this sale, which has been increased to SI, would not become a lien until that date, but the new law makes a Hen on Oct. 1 next. Another amendment is the restoration of the fee payable to county treasurers for tax certificates to accompany warranty deeds. This was reduced from 25 to 15 cents and subsequently abolished, but the last legislature restored it at the latter figure. Daring Hold ©p. Michael Dodovan, Jos. Wilson and Frank Reed, hoboes, are in jail at Lansing on a charge of robbery with a deadly weapon accompaintnent, acrime for which life imprisonment can be imposed. Their victims were David Sparks, Jesse Deiosh; Oral Van HeWen and Jos. Popezinski, aged from 16 to 18, all of Grand Rapids. They are all detained at Lansing as witnesses, except Popezinski, whose treatment forms the most tragic part of the affair. The boys were sons of respectable families, having left home unbe- -known to their parents—for-the -purpose of doing a little hoboiog just for the fun of it. Popezinski told the robbers he had no coin, but after investigating they found 30 cents on his person, and for telling a lie the tramps threw him off the top of a box car while the train was running about 18 miles an hour. Later—Popezinski says he dropped off the train and walked home rather than stand the abuse of the tramps. Weekly Crop llalletin. The weekly crop bulletin of the Michigan weather bureau says that light showers occurred in portions of the upper peninsula, in scattered localities in the northern counties, and in the extreme southeaster portion of the lower peninsula. Over the greater portion of the lower peninsula the weather conditions have generally been arcontinuation of the drouth. Hot, dry weather and nearly cloudless skies have have continued and intensified the drouth. Much corn, especially that on high land, has been badly injured, and many farmers have been cutting it for fodder. Bean harvest is in progress, but the crop has been shortened by the drouth. Late potatoes are suffering greatly for want of rain, while pastures are so badly dried up that many correspondents report that it is necessary to feed their stock. Considerable plowing for wheat and rye has been done, but generally the soil has been so dry that plowing is difficult and many farmers have stopped that work and are waiting for rain before beginning again. The drought has greatly damaged spring seeding, and in the southern counties will materially shorten the crop of sugar beets. Buckwheat is filling badly. Reports indicate that apples continue to fall in large quantities, and the present outlook is for a light crop. A Very Peculiar Will. Minnie Logan, of Flint, has filed a bill in the circuit court from Charle3 Logan for a decree of divorce and also to protect her property interests in the Mrs. Eleanor Logan estate. The latter died a few months ago and left a will disposing of a large , amount of property. In the will Charles Logan was cut off from any benefit unless he had disposed of Minnie Logan, his wife, in a legal wayv Logan made several attempts to get a decree but failed each time. In the bill of complaint filed by Minnie Logau she charges Charles with desertion and non-support and alleges that he is entitled to the share of property mentioned for him in the will although he was not successful in getting rid of his legal wife. Judge Wisner granted an injunction refraining the parties from disposing of the property. Tax Commlislon at Work. The state tax commission is meeting with an even more prompt and satisfactory response to- its recent circular addressed to the people of the state generally thin was expected. The indications are that there are hundreds of citizens of4 Michigan who are confident that there neighbors are escaping their just share of taxation, and all these are getting "into the game." It is perhaps needless to say that notic of these correspondents ha*e confessed that they were not being taxed; enough themselves. The commission is being rather severely criticised in some quarters for instituting this wholesale spy system throughout the state, but at present it promises to add quite a bit to the assessment rolls. Prisoner Leaped %m Death. Unfortunate Mary Ann Carr, ?a years 'of age, dived to death from the lower deck of the steamer Darius Cole into t h e waters of Lake S t Clair on the 27th, while on her way from her home in Port Huron, to Detroit, in charge of Detective Judson C Lombard.

She took a few steps forward, but the effort to mov« made her turn deadly pule. She had been through too much that day. Valdane saw the change in her face, and darted forward. The next moment she was lying senseless in his arms. - CHAPTER XVII. Lady Mildred went down stairs Into the drawing room that night, a tumult to temptation and was now engaged to Lady Mildred. The mad triumph o! the hour was over; In the darkness and stillness his conduct looked very vile. Not only was he bitterly ashamed, bat he was alarmed. What were likely to be the consequences of this act? Should Lady Mildred once discover that, at the time of his proposing to her, he was in honor bound to another woman—well, his imagination was scarcely vivid enough to picture what might happen. He really believed himself to be in love with Lady Mildred. Difference in rank had weighed very little; but for the moment she swayed his emotions completely, and Marguerite seemed as nothing beside her. He only felt now that, with Lady Mildred for his wife, he might fulfil all the golden dreams which he had formed since his sudden acquisition to wealth. He tried to persuade himself that "Marguerite would not have been happy with him, that it was truer kindness to confess this before marriage than to cling to an engagement on which his heart was no longer centered. Besides_he was not engaged to Marguerite—she always said so. Had not her last words to him been, "Remember you are free?" Ah, but had he not, in return, held her to his heart and vowed that he was har slave? It was a humiliating position, and he writhed under it, but determined to put off the evil day or confession. While Bernard was thinking thus at Clarlsdale, Martlneau the irresistible, Martineau the heartless, for whom his stately ccusin was suffering all the pangs of jealousy, was pacing the dreary length of a street in East London. It was a very warm night—the atmosphere in that crowded district was almost fetid; Now-and~ then screaming and discordant laughter broke the silence, as various denizens of the neighborhood reeled home to their beds after the night's carouse. WITH HIS HAKDB BEHIND HIM VALDANE SAUNTERED UP AND DOWN. of feelings contending in her heart. All day had Valdane absented himself, and she could not asderstand it. It must be Jealousy, ,of course—that was clear; but was it possible that she had gone too far, and alienated where she had but meant to incite? She looked round the room as she entered In search of him. fle was not there— that fact just turned the scale against Dim. Lady Mildred was not going to endure even the suspicion of being jilted. "That settles the matter,** she said to herself. "Bernard Selwyn shall .propose to me tonight, and I will accept him." Later in the evening Lord Umfra- •ille brought her a telegram from the defaulter. "Called to town o s business—very •orry. Please make my apologies. Will return tomorrow if I may." His lordship would have held that telegram with more emotion had he known that it secured twenty thousand a year to the Umfravllle estates. —Late that night Bernard dejectedly fat at therbpen[windoworh1iT)ettro©m7 "Be had broken faith with the girl who With his hands behind him, Valdane sauntered up and down, heedless of these interruptions. His face, was very pale; he had no cigar to console him in his solitude. He seemed like one who ^neither knew nor cared whither he went, only his sunken eyes were fixed upon an upper window in the doctor's house—a window where a light was burning. To and fro he walked, while still the candle burned steadily on through the night. He knew that in that bedroom the woman whj> owijed all his heart was suffering the .crudest agony, and that he was the «ause of it, and he could not help her in any way—could not mitigate one pans. The self-abasement which he suffered then was the salvation of Valdane Martineau. He acknowledged to his inner self without reserve that he had sinned, and his whole being was filled with a deep longing to atone. Her window was cpea; the night breeze swayed the white blind. Perhaps she thought the measured tramp in the street below .belonged to the tally taking farewell of everything which makes life glad to men, mentally calling down every blessing on the head of the innocent girl who had suffered so deeply. The dawn came at last, and lighted up Valdane's hagged face. Then, just as the first red sunbeam fell upon Marguerite's casement, the candle went cut. It seemed like a signal for him to go. Nothing was now left but to drink his cup of humiliation to the very dregs—to appear to an astonished world as fellow-conspirator with Daniel Brandon, in the carrying out c? the most infamous of plots, and to dissolve the illegal yoke which bound Marguerite. Meanwhile a bold front must be worn to the world; and none could wear a mask better than Valdane Martineau. dale. He took the news of Liidy MUi dred's engagement with a calmness which made her lose her temper. He looked ill and old. Every one thought Martineau was altered. Mildred imagined that be must be suffering in secret, but, ^svith his characteristic pride, held ins feelings in check. Her heart yearned towards him passionately. Her accepted lover had a hard time of it that day. The guests remarked to one another that, if Martineau was "sweet" on his cousin, he put a very good face on it; for he talked with quiet ease to her, did not avoid her in the least, and offered his congratulations without any evidence of "repressed emotion." Some three days after this, Valdane saw a paragraph in the papers which took him back to London at once. A week later Marguerite received the following letter: "Dear Miss Lilbourne—I have to announce to you that your uncle, Mr. Daniel BrandGn, died suddenly of apoplexy in Paris last week. There is no will, and, by the nature of the entail, all his landed estates and house property revert to you, as the only living blood relation. His affairs, I am sorry to say, are in great disorder, and quite half your fortune has been gambled away on the stock exchange. There will be, I hope, between six and seven hundred a year for you when all claims are settled. I have seen his solicitors; and can easily prove your Identity, as-Cathie recognized you at once that day you fainted at High Lees and we have Mrs. Acland as well to trust to. Hia poor young wife takes the personalty, but I am afraid there will be csit tc nothing for her; no doubt your generosity will suggest it -to-you to make some slight provision llog Feeding* From Farmers' Review: The experiment station of the Kansas Agricultural College has, from time to time, by bulletins, short articles for the papers, etc., shown the value of feeding to fattening hogs something besides those highly starchy feeds, corn and kafflr. In feeding over 200 head of hogs experimentally, not a case has cdine up where the results were not most favorable to feeding some feed rich in protein, along with the coru and kafflr. But what is intended to he brought out In this item is not the pecuniary gain from feeding such feeds as alfsJfa hay, skim-milk or soy bean meal vith the other feeds, but it is tho humanity of doing BO. Putting a hog in a small pen and giving it no feed but,diy corn and kafflr and water is inhjtmune. Hogs so treated when you come to the pen will walk away as far s they* can and eye you as though The next day he returned to Clarls-/they know you were responsible for *j>their pains of digestion, the annoying lice and all the other unfavorable condition*; of the young hog that is being starved on carbohydrates. Protein is the source of the blood, bone, hair, muscle and nerve. Take away this supply, and what has the poor hog to livu for? Their hair drops out, their belly bows up as well as the backbone; great rough wrinkles of hide seem to work out on the tail, but instead of wrinkles working out the body for her. Mr. Brandon's solicitor will call upon you tomorrow, as I imagine that It will not be pleasant for you to see me. The money which I owe you has been placed to your account at the bank. I am afraid that the annulling of the marriage will be a more lengthy business; but U shall be done I promise you, as soon as possible. The one thing now left for me to wish for is that, after so many years of sorrow, happiness may come to you in unstinted measure, so that in years to come you may look back upon me and the injury I did you as nothing but the nightmare which you said it seemed the first day you came to see me in Lance Lane. I f.fcall go abroad when all this is settled, and shall try to cross your path no more. I can never forget your noble forgiveness— the one comfort I shall carry with me through my lonely lire. With deepest respect I am most entirely yours, "Valdane Martineau.** Some days afterwards he received a note from Mary Stelling, inclosing a slip of paper, the words on which were written in pencil: "Dear Sir—I send yoa a line fr>m Miss Lnboume, who Is not well enough to attend to business at all just. now. She~hashad a low Berwus fever;""my father thinks it Is because she refused to leave London this autumn. Naw that money is no object we hope to take her to the Riviera for the winter. Thanking you for all the trouble yon have taken on her behalf. I am, yours faithfully, Mary Stelling." The slip of paper iaelosed, wnich Valdane carried reverently to his lips before opening, contained only a few words: "I am not at all well—I cannot attend to anything. Kindly leave the question of the marriage until yos have heard again from "Marguerite."

I don't know that the real grain of the oat ought to be chopped any finer, but tne husk should be; it ought to be cut and not crushed and ground; there is too much waste about It as It is prepared now, The steel-cut oats and the rolled oats are all right, but the farm flock don't get any of it; it makes things about the place top much out of tune for the farmer to sell good oats for 25 cents per bushel (sometimes more), but very often considerably less) and buy it back at three pounds for the same price. For a cooked food for hens we have never tried anything better than to make the bulk of the mash of boiled oats, and for growing chicks we believe there would be nothing better if it could be had in shape to be easily prepared, as it is too coarse as it comes from the mill, to ; make good "Johnnie cake" or "pone," and to feed it dry or mixed with water and fed raw; there is too much waste about it.

If his cattle can be induced to drink two or three times a day he is glad of i t All the cattle may not be equally thirsty at the same time. Cows require an immense amount of water, as every farmer boy has noticed. Experiments have shown that the average milch cow needs about eighty-one pounds of water a day while in milk—this is nearly ten gallons— and over fifty pounds while dry. Of this the cow in milk takes rather more than two-thirds as drink and the rest in her food, while the dry cow takes rather leas than two-thirds as drink and little more than one-third in her food.

Brtgnoll was very auaceptible to flattery, and it is Mid that once IU N »' York, when the orchestra vigorously applauded one of hit favorite songs, he was so touched that he came down to the footlights and invited them all to I a champagne supper at the Everett house. The supper cost him 1500. Brignoll was very careful of h's voice, and was terribly afraid of drafts. It was once stated that during the winter it always took him three-quarters of an hour to get from his room to the street. First, he would leave nis room, pace the hall for ten minutes to get acclimated. He then descended to the lobby, where the temperature was a little lower, and spent twenty minutes there. He then ventured to the vestibule from which the door opened into the street. He would parade the vestibule for fifteen minutes, occasionally opening the door to let in a little cold air. Being now accustomed to a cool temperature, he would button up his coat and sally forth. He once agreed to sing a solo at St. Agnes' church. New York city. He came in late and after divesting himself of many coverings, tumbling over music racks and exasperating the choir by trying his voice, he came to the conclusion that he was ready. By this time, however, the sermon had commenced, but Brisnoll, unabashed, leaned over the choir railings and fri^ri to attract the attention of the preacher by shaking his head and gesticulating with his hands. At last he called out in a voice which was audible for some distance. "Me ready for ze singf Stoppa ze preach! Stoppa ze preach." And the priest actually cut the sermon short in order to accommodate the impatient tenor, whose voice now rang out with such fervor as to thrill the worshipers and jtiftffy the sacrifice.— The National Magazine.

Mexico is a land of many tongues: but above the Indian dialects and Spanish, there is one universal language, the language of signs. It is the n^ost expressive of all; the Mexican eye and hand are eloquent members. It is capable of infinite variation; its shading and suggestions are beyond all translation. But there are certain gestures that have a fixed meaning, a signification well understood by every nation and every tribe from Guatemala to Texas, says Modern Mexico. A general upward movement of the body, shoulders shrugged, eyebrows raised, lips pouted and palms outspread, varies in meaning from "I don't know and I don't care." to a most respectful, "Really, sir, I do not understand you." The index finger moved rapidly from right to left, generally before the face. -means, "No more," or simply "No." To move the right hand palm outward from the body toward another person means "Just wait; I'll be even with you yet." The Index finger on the temple, moved with a boring twist, means "He's drunk." The right hand held to the lips, three fingers doubled, thumb and little finger erect, varies from "He drinks" to "Have one with me." To move the open hand over the cheek in imitation of a razor has reference to the idiom "playing the barber." and means "to flatter." All four fingers and the thumb held points together and moved toward the mouth means "to eat." The right hand held before the faf'e. the two middle fingers moving rapidly, is a familiar salutation. poured lead.

The setting out of the dinner of Queen Elizabeth was a ceremonious function. First came a gentleman with a rod, followed by a gentleman carrying a tablecloth, which, after they had knelt reverently three times, was spread upon the table. Then came two others, one with a rod, the other with a saltcellar, a plate and bread. They knelt three times, placed the things on the table, knelt again and retired. Next came a lady in waiting, followed by a second. The first lady, dressed in white, after kneeling three times, approached the table and solemnly rubbed the plates with the salt. Then entered twenty-four yeomen of the guard, clad in scarlet, and each carrying a dish of gold. These dishes were placed upon the table while the lady taster gave to each of the guards a taste from the dish he had brought in, for fear of possible poison. These guards were selected from the tallest and stoutest men in all England. At the close of this ceremony a number of unmarried ladies appeared and with great solemnity lifted the various dishes and carried them to the queen in her private apartments. The queen dined and supped alone, with few attendants, and it was seldom that any one was admitted at this time and then only at the intercession of some one in power. - — — • . ^ — Our Latest Music Offer.

In Bishop Potter's tirade against prohibitionists he speaks of "the grotesque ^yporcisy of the prohibition system from Maine to Kansas." Over against this utterance !of the New York bishop the National Advocate places the statement of Bishop Millspaugh, of Kansas: When I went to Kansas I felt satisfied that there was no better way of Landling the liquor traffic than by the high-license system, but now I am quite as well satisfied that I was mistaken. I have changed my opinion of th«* prohibition law since I have seen its workings, and I regard it as very desirable, it is especially so from my own spiritual standpoint. For instance, Topeka is a city of 50,000 inhabitants, so that it is quite a town. You can walk the whole length of Kansas avenue, the principal street of the city, and not see a single saloon on either side. What is the effect of this all? The young men are not tempted to go into the gilded hells where sweetmusic and every alurement are held open for them. There are no temptations for the young, and there is nothing to lead the man who does not drink habitually to take a drink, just for the sake of being sociable." I Rev.

Strange to say, it is the conversation ^with no point to it that bores quickest. t A bachelor always feels sorry for a pretty girl who marries some other man. Some people are charitable only •when they are sure the world will hear cf it. Some people go to fight the Filipinos, and some stay at home and drink pink lemonade. From Walter Wellman's present polat of view he cannot see why any one should desire to be the iceman. The Individual who sits down and waits for fame to visit him will find himself among t:ie left-over baggage after the express train has come and gone. The agrarian party in the Prussian diet has managed to secure a vote adverse to the emperor's canal plans. Their victory has been greater than they anticipated. The emperor's wishes regarding the measure were well known. He made his intention of carrying out his canal construction ideas" •with a strong hand very plain in his speeches at' the opening of the Dortmund- Ems canal. But the abgeordnetenhaus, or lower house of the diet, as reported 'by a reliable Berlin correspondent, has rejected not only the Rhine-Elbe canal measure by a majority of 98, but also the paragraph relating to the Dortmund-Rhine canal by the close vote of 212 to 209. H. Schaw proposes to blast with high-pressure steam, instead of -Unusual inflammable explosives, which are so dangerous, in fiery mines. Mr. Schaw suggests that, a cartridge of water lodged in a shot hole could be converted into steam at a pressure of about 150 pounda a square inch by means of low-tension electricity, and the cartridge should be made of such strength that it would burst at about this pressure, when the force set at liberty would break down the coal. When the cartridge bursts the wire is fused and the electric circuit is broken, eo that there is no further ri3k of ignition of firedamp or coaldust. Mr. Schaw maintains that the force developed by the water cartridge will be sufficient to break down the undercut coal in a mine. Outside the city of Jerusalem there was a sanative watering-place, the popular resort for invalids. To -„ai3 day there is a dry basin of rock which shows that thero may have been a pool there three hundred and sixty feet long, one hundred and thirty feet wide, and seventy-five feet deep. This po<* ! was surrounded by five piazzas, or porches, r bathing houses, where the patients lurried until the time when they were to step iuto the water. So far as reinvlgoration was concerned, it must have been a Saratoga and a Long Branch on a small scale; a Leamington and a Brighton combined—medical and therapeutic. , Tradition says that at a certain season of the year there was an officer of the government who would go down to that water and pour in it some healing quality, and after that the people would come and get the medication; but I prefer the plain statement of Scripture, that at a certain season an angel came down and stirred up or troubled the water; and then the people came and got the healing. That angel of God that stirred up the Judean watering-place had his counterpart in the angel of healing, who, in our day, steps into the m.aeral waters of Congress, or Sharon, or Sulphur Springs, or into the salt sea at Cape May and Nahant, where multitudes who are worn out with commercial and professional anxieties, as well as those who are afflicted with rheumatic, neuralgic and splenetic diseases, go and are cured by the thousands. These blessed Bethesdas are scattered all up and down our country. We are at a season of the year when rail trains are laden with passengers and baggage on their way to the mountains and the lakes and the seashore. Multitudes of our citizens are away for a restorative absence. The city heats are pursuing the people with torch and fear of sunstroke. The long, silent halls of sumptuous hotels are all abuzz with excited arrivals. The antlers of Adirondack deer rattle under the shot of city sportsmen. The trout make fatal snap at the hook of adroit sportsmen, who toss their spotted brilliance into the game basket. The baton of When congress, in 1898, enacted that "hereafter all first-class 'battleships and monitors owned by the. United States shall be named for the states" it unwittingly provided a cause of contention among come cf the states. Recently the good people of Connecticut objected because the nam* of 'their state was selected for a vessel no more pretentious than a 2,755-ton monitor. As the law, moreover, while providing that all battleships and monitors shall be named after states, does not provide that each etate shall have a vessel of one of those classes to bear its name, it happens that the citizens of Callfornia are now objecting because their state is to be represented in the navy not by a battleship but by an armored cruiser. The appearance in one of the September magazines of another sympoeium on "The Secret of Success" may toe regarded as one more sign, of .the fascination which this subject has for ambitious yottttg America. It Is in response to a genuine demand that similar articles have appeared in print in this country at intervals for many years, and the interest in the theme seems in nowise abated. The younf American, more than the young man of any other country, is filled from the sstart with the purpose not merely to do well, but to de so well as t distinction. Any advice as to how tuat end is to be attained is absorbed with eager interest, even though the burden of the counsel, as in the case of the symposium in Pearson's Magazine/ which is written by several merchant princes and brilliant profession- --«1--naenr ia the same. Men whose callings are so unlike as are those of Dr. Parkhurst, Gen. Miles, Admiral Samp- •on, E . L i GodkTn and Dr. George F. Shrady, to say nothing of several mu ilonaires, are practically unanlm in reiterating -that hard work is at the ftottoss of all true success. the orchestral leader taps the music stand on the hotel green, and American life has put on festal array, and tne rumbling of the ten-pin alley, and the crack of the ivory balls on the green-baized billiard tables, and the jolting of the bar-room goblets, and the explosive uncorking of the champagne bottles, and the whirl and the rustle of the ball-room dance, and the clattering hoofs of the race courses, and other sig^s of social dissipation, attest that the season for the great American watering-places is in full play. Music! Flute, and drum, and cornet-a-plston, and clapping cymbals wake the echoes of the mountains. Glad am I that fagged out American life, for the most part, has an opportunity to rest, and that nerves racked and destroyed will find a Bethesda. I believe in watering-places. They recuperate for active service many who were worn out with trouble or overwork. They are national restoratives. Let not the commercial firm begrudge the clerk, or the employer the journeyman, or the patient the physician, or the church its pastor, a season of Inoccupation. Luther used to sport with his children; Edmund Burke used to caress his favorite horse; Thomas Chalmers, in the dark hour of 4he church's disruption, played kite for recreation— so I was told by his own laughter—and the busy Christ said to the busy apostles, "Come ye apart awhile into the desert and rest yourselves." And I have observed that they who do not know how to rest do uot know how to work. But I have to declare this truth today, that some >f our fashionable watering-places are the temporal and the eternal destruction of "a multitude that no man can number;" and, amid the congratulations of this season, and the prospect Df the departure of many of you for the country, I must ntter a warning, plain, earnest and unmistakable. The first temptation that is apt to hover in this direction to leave your piety at noma You will send the dog and cat and canary bird to be well sared for somewhere else; but the ptation will be to leave your religion in the room with the blinds down ind the door bolted, and then you will tome back in the autumn to find that :t is starved and suffocated, lying itretched on the rug, stark dead, There a no surplus of piety at the watering- ; aces. I never knew any one to grow eery rapidly in grace at the Catekill Mountain bouse, nr Sharon Springs, or the Falls of Montmorency. It is generally the case that the Sabbath Is more if a carousal than any other day, and there are Sunday walks, and Sunday *idesv and Sunday excursions. Elders aid deacons and ministers of religion, who are entirely consistent at home, sometimes when the Sabbath dnwns on tk-eui at Niagara Faiia or tuo White Mountains, take a duy to themselves. If they go to church, it is apt to he a sacred parade, and tho discourse, Instead of being a plain talk about the soul, is apt to bo what is called a crack sermon—that is, some discourse picked out of the effusions of the year as the one most adapted to excite admiration; and in those churches, from tho way the ladies hold their fans, you know that they are not so much impressed with the heat as with the picturesqueness of half disclosed features. Four puny souls stand In the organ loft and squall a tune that nobody knows, and worshipers, with two thousand dollars' worth of diamonds on the right hand, drop a cent into the poor box, and then the benediction is pronounced and the farce is ended. The to\ighest thing I ever tried to do was to be good at a watering-place. The air is bewitched with the "world, the flesh and the devil." There are Christians who, in three or four weeks in such a place, have had such tPrrlMo rent3 made in their Christian robe that they had to keep darning it until Christmas to get it mended. The health of a great many people makes an annual visit to somo mineral spring an absolute necessity; but tnke your Bible along with you, and take an hour for secret prayer every day, though you be surrounded by guffaw and saturnalia. Keep holy the Sabbath, though they deride you a3 a bigoted Puritan. Stand off from gambling hells and those other institutions which propose to imitate on this side the water the iniquities of Baden-Baden. Let your moral and your immortal health keep pace with your physical recuperation, and remember that all the sulphur and chalybeate Bprlngs cannot do you so much good as the healing perennial flood that breaks forth from the "Rock of Ages." This may be your last summer. If so, make it a fit vestibule of heaven. Another temntetion hovering around nearly all our watering-places is the horse-racing business. .We all admire the horse, but. we do not think tbat its beauty or speed ought to be cultured :'.t the expense of human degradation. The horse race is not of such importance as the human race. The Bible intimates that a man is better than a sheep, and I suppose he is better than a horse, though, like Job's stallion, his neck be clothed with thunder. Horse races in olden times were under the bjm of Christian people; ana in our day the same institution has come up under fictitious names^ And it is called tr^"summer meeting,—almost-auggesi^_|_ ive of positive religious exercises. And it Is called an "agricultural fair," suggestive of everything that is improving In the art of farming. But under these deceptive titles are the same cheating aud the same betting and tho same drunkenness and the same vagabondage and the same abomination that were to be found under the old horseracing system. Long ago the English government got through looking to the turf for the dragoon .and the light-cavalry horse. They found out that the turf o.epreciates the stock; and it is worse yet for men. Thomas Hugbes.the member of parliament and the author known all the world over, hearing that a new Ijtrf enterprise was being started in this country, wrote a letter in which he said: "Heaven help you, then; for of all the cankers of our old civilization there is nothing in this country approaching in unblushing meanness, in rascality holding its head high, to this belauded institution of the British turf." Another famous sportsman writes; "How many fine domains have been shared among these hosts of rapacious sharks during tne last 200 yeaiu; and unless the system be altered, how many more are doomed to fall into the same gulf!" With the bull fights of Spain and the bear-baitings of the pit, may the Lord God annihilate the infamous and accursed horse racing of England and America! Now, the watering-places are full of temptations to men and women to tipple. At the close of the ten-pin or billiard game, they tipple. At the close of the cotillon, they tipple. Seated on the piazza cooling themselves off, they tipple. The tinged glasses come around with bright straws, and they tipple. First, they take "light wines," as they call them; but "light wines" are heavy enough to debase the appetite. There is not a very long road between champagne at five dollars a bottle and whisky at ten cents a glass. Satan has three or four grades down which he takes men to destruction. One man he takes up, and through one spree pitches him into eternal darkness. That is a rare case. Very seldom, indeed, can you find a man who will be such a fool as that. Satan will take another man to a grade, to a descent at an angle about like the Pennsylvania coal-chute or the Mount Washington rail-track, and shove him ofL ___Bul. ihalj8_very rare. When a j man goes down to destruction, Satan brings him to a plane. It is almost a 1eveir''ThVdepresiBto'A~tiTan»1tBiitttat you can hardly see it. The man does not actually know that he is on the down grade, and it tlpu only a little toward total darkness—Just a little. U»d j LOW TITLE.

Whether you tarry at homo—which will be quite as safe, and perhaps quite ur. ociiifuilable—ur go into the country, Arm yourself against temptation. The grace of God is the only safe shelter, j whether in town or country. There are ' watering-places accessible to all of us. You cannot open a book of tho Bible without finding out some such watering place. Fountains open for sin and uncleanness. Wells of salvation. Streams from Lebanon. A flood struck out of the rock by Moses. Fountains in the wilderness discovered by Hagar, Water to drink and water to bathe in. The river of God, which is full of water. Water of which if a man drink ho shall never thirst. Wells of water in the Valley of Baca. Living fountains of water. A pure river of water as clear as crystal from under the throne of God. These are wateringplaces accessible to all of us. We do not have a laborious packing up before we start—only the throwing away of our transgressions. No expensive hotel bills to pay; it is "without money and without price." No long and dusty travel before we get there; it is only one step away. In California, in five minutes, 1 walked around and saw ten fountains all bubbling up, and they were all different; and in five minutes I can go through this Bible parterre and find you fifty bright, sparkling fountains bubbling up into eternal life—healing and therapeutic. A chemist will go to one of these summer waterlng-place3 and take the water, and analyze it, and tell you that it contains so much of iron, and so much of soda, and so much of lime, and so much of magnesia. 1 come to this Gospel well, this living fountain, and analyze the water; and I find that its ingredients are peace, pardon, forgiveness, hope, comfort, life, heaven.

Miss Grant appears* bawltchingly beautiful in the costly gewns which her aunt, Mrs. Potter Palmer, has selected for her, and show* plainly in many ways that her hoart a* well as her hand belongs to the happy ycung nobleman. Those who know Miss Grant say that she Is genuinely in love with her prospective husband and that she cares little for tho foreign titles which the marriage will confer upon her. This is in some measure reassuring to those who have looked with opposition upon the match, feeling that the grand-daughter of General Grant should have chosen to bestow her affections upon some worthy American suitor in preference to any pampered scion of royalty who might come from beyond the seas.

Drowning , Man After a Hard Struggle. Chicago Record: With 4,000 persons cheering him on, Surfman William H. Batchelor of the Jackson Park lifesaving crew plunged into the lake, swam out to a drowning man and brought his safely to shore. Once the swimmer went down. When he came up Batchelor had thrown aside his shoes and blouse, and, with a cheering "I'm coming.'' sprung into the water. He was a strong swimmer, and soon reached the side of the struggling man. He told him to turn over on his back. At first- be refused to comply, then Batchelor spoke more sharply than before, and the man obeyed. Batchelor dove under him,*and when he came up had the man on his back and was holding him with one hand. With the other he began to work his way shoreward. Every stroke was cheered by the crowd on shore. Five minutes and Batchelor had reached a point where he could touch bottom. Then began a struggle to keep the man from being killed by being dar.bed against the lake bottom when a btg rrave would strike and crush them down. Three minutes of hard fighting and Batchelor reached the stone sea wall, where willing hands assisted him to draw the almost drowned man to shore. When both were safely landed a cheer went up from the 4,000 throats that echoed and re-echoed far back into the park. The rescued man was William Johnson. Her Ashes In the Mortar. An odd monument was desired by an elderly maiden who died a few weeks ago in Athione, Ireland.

From all accounts Prince Cantacuzene Is above the average young nobleman in good de* serts and bids fair to redeem the promises of fellelty which he holds out to est families of Russia, posseiseiT~fttre~~ educational advantages as well as unusual personal attractions; holds high rank in the military systems of the empire, and otherwise commands general rc#tpect He is 26 yer.rs of age, whlcfc makes him one year the senior of Miss Grant.

Special Chicago Chronicle: A real case of wife trading la reported from Woodward county, Oklahoma. Charles Newbern and J. W. Alsup were neighbors, and swapped wives, and now Newbern is living with Alsup's former wife and Alsup is living with Newbern's. Both are farmere and each sued for a divorce from his wife about the same time, alleging extreme cruelty and gross neglect of duty. Newbern's wife was a witness for Alsup and Alsup's wife was a witness for Newbern. The trial judge remarked when the divorces were granted that there was something strange about the divorce cases. Two months after obtaining his divorce Newbern and the former Mrs. Alsup were married in Kansas and a few days ago Alsup and the former Mrs. Newbern were married in Texas. Now the two formei neighbors are still living near each other and all seem happy. Costly Retribution for a Roy. Two little boys in Greenpoint went up on the roof of a house the other day to fly their pigeons. The older one, leaning over too far after his bird, fell off and was killed. His companion, who was only 7 years old, was so frightened that he ran away and hid for a day and a night. He is a sensitive little fellow, and his parents were greatly alarmed lest he had done something desperate in his fright and sorrow. They finally found him, however, hidden away in a neighbor's barn. He was told that while he was not blamed for the other boy's death, h e had done wrong to go to the roof with him, this being forbidden ground, and* that as the dead boy's mother was poor, he must give her all his money. TJiiA amounted to about $50, deposited in his own name"Tn~tne"T>airtC7''rn:"Jwliieb-- he takes the greatest pride.

Bertram was born and had spent all lit? life on a Kansas prairie. He had never watched the waves rolling in from the ccean, nor picked up shells along the shore, nor dug wells in the sandy beach. He had never listened to the wind as it sighs gently through tho tops of the pine trees. Indeed, he had never seen any real woods at all, nor any high hilla; and he knew nothing about great rocks that are so nice to climb upon and that make such lovely caves to hid© oneself under. But he knew all about how tho men on the plains ride over the range to bring the cattle together in a spring "roundup." He hr.d often played at "throwing a rope" to lasso the stalks of the tall sunflowers that bloom so thickly over the western plains. He had seen great fires rushing madly through the dry prairie grass. He had even seen half a dozen fires at a time far off on the great round line in which the wide sky shuts itself down over the wide earth. He also knew how hard the winds could blow across the great open plains. Wheu the spring winds eame blowing all the way from the Gulf of Mexico or the Polar ocean, Bertram used to watch the great round "tumble weeds" as they rolled rapidly along faster than a hbrse could gallop. Sometimes when the wind grew fiercer than usual, it brought a thick cloud of dust to choke the breath and blind the sight. Then Bertram would run Into the house as fast as his legs eould carry him, and shut his eyes, almost fearing that the little house ^would—he—lifted.imm_lts_founda t Ions and be shaken to pieces by the fierce wind of the prairie. When Bertram was five years old bis mother took him to New England to visit Ills grandmother and some cousins that he had never seen. Bertram thought the rooms l a his grandmother's house were very large—large enough for houses, he said. He was nerer tired of running up and down the stairs, because he had never before lived in a house where there were any stairways to be climbed. One day Bertram's uncle brought home from the city a large box, and told Bertram and his little cousin Frank that this contained something which they would like to see. When they opened the box they found in it—a toy village. There was a church with a steeple, a postofflce, a school house, a store and some smaller houses. There were a good many little trees to shade the village, and a number of little men and women to walk about its streets. There was also a depot and a train of cars to bring people to and from the town. Both of the children were delighted. They took the little things out of the box and looked at them one by one. Then they began to build the town. Frank had often been to the city with his ^ father, and thought that he knew all about how a town should be built. He did not think that Bertram knew much about towns. So it happened that almost all the things that Bertram set up Frank would soon change to another place. Bertram soon began to feel that it was all Frank's town, and that he was being left out •of the play. He looked very sober for a few minutes. He stopped working and watched the little town as it grew up under Frank's busy fingers. But he was all the time thinking how he could have a share In the play himself. At last a new thought came to him. ^'he town was Just finished, with all the trees and houses set up In beautiful order, and the little men and women walking quietly around the streets. Then Bertram cried out, "Here comes a slycone!" <nd filling his little lungs with air, ne blew out a great wind of breath. In two seconds half of the t o n lay in a heap, with the frightened little men and women buried under the overturned houses. Frank looked up, feeling half angry. But Bertram's eyea were shining. He wan not cross or naughty; he only wanted to have a part in the play. Frank's eyes began to shine, too. This was a new kind of fun. So he said, "That was a bliztard, Etrre -eno^gh-i—NojLAlI_lke_jnen_ Will h a v e to g o l o w o . K a n d build Uie Cleveland Strike to be I n v e s t i g a t e d . town over agaki." Then with, a good \t is probable t h a t the state board of laugh both of the boys set to work j arbitration will investigate the Cleve- With « will, and soon the town waa j land street railway strike on the debuilt up a&aln as good as ever.

Willed, went up to the attic, and brought down an old pair of bellows that u^ed to bio v up the fires in the great kitchen chiainey a hundred years ago. Bertram now looked on with great curiosity while Frank took the bellows, and made a wind that blew several of the little men and women half-way across the dining room carpet. After this, whenever Frank and Bertram set up the toy village, the very best part of the play waa the time when the cyclone came, and trees and houses and men and women tumbled down together in a heap of ruins. —Yary Hall Leonard. A True Story. Old Dapple was so tired when hay- Jng-time was over that grandpa said he should rest a whole week, with oats for dinner every day. "You're the faithfulest old fellow!" grandpa said, warmly stroking Dapple's old nose back and forth—back and forth, lovingly. "Now you shall have a holiday and munch hay instead of rake it. Wait; I'll trundle the big rake und*- tho mow, out of your sight, so you'll forget there was ever any such thing in the world as work." Then grandpa went in to dinner with grandma and The Twins—everybody called them The Twins, with capital ' i s in their voices when they said it. It was quite late in the afternoon when grandma asked The Twins to lead out old Dapple to water. "Let him stay and drink as long as he wants to," he called after t t e m . "You neean't wait—he knows the way back alone." So old Dapple stood and drank his fill of tho cle&r, svfeet water, and The Twins ran bai'k to their play. But it wasn't long before grandpa saw them coming toward him at a scamper. Both their faces were excited, and they shouted in a little, breathless chorus—The Twins usually spoke in chorus—"O, grandpa! grandpa! quick! look up in the motfin. rj field! Old Dapple's up there rakia' hay all alone, 'thout any rake or any hay! He's goin' back anfl forth and back and forth like everything!" And when grandpa got on his "fur-offs" and looked, sure* enough there was faithful old Dapple up in the mowing-field, patiently trudging up and down, making neat turns at the end of every "bout!" His tired old legs wavered unsteadily, but kept on. The afternoon sunshine lay on his rough back and.dazzled his old eyes on the return trips, bv.t he never thought of stopping. Something suddenly dimmed grandpa's "fur-offs," and he took them off. "Faithful old fellow!" hjf> muttered. "Go lead him back, children, and give him oats for his supboth parties were agreed. The law provides, however, t h a t in case there is no arbitration either party may ask for an investigation which will be judicial in its nature, and ascertain j who is responsible for the strike and its prolongation. The strikers were asked by t h e central labor union to demand such an investigation. Secre- j tary Bishop, of the state board, is now j in t h e city and he says he is ready to take up the investigation if it shall be demanded. per. ATrrtTTow The T.vlmr while they were doing it! Constance Hamilton. Gladstone a* a Boy. William Ewart Gladstone, at the age of 12, was the best looking boy who ever entered Eton, and the brightest fellow who ever left it. He was always proud to claim membership with one "of the old families of commerce, and to the Iaet declined all honors and titles offered him by the queen, preferring to remain "one of the people." His mother traced her ancestry t j the royalty of the fourteenth century. She was a woman of very great accomplishments, and exacted obedience from her six children. Gladstone's earlier life was passed under the direct carl of this wise and watchful mother. Her boys were required to perform some manual labor, and to take much physical exercise, and were instructed in woodsawing and carving. A man's treatment of his wife la a reflection of his mother's memory. In Gladstone's beautiful study, called the "Temple of Peace," were three desks—one for political and business correspondence.one for literary work and one for Mr*. Gladstone, who was a most discreet, as well as able, woman, and had not only 4he gift of silver-tongued speech, but of golden silence when occasion required. v-hairdse >fthem-h-avi xUghtly damaged by the fires, BASE BALL. ne!o;r wo publish the number of frame? ot ball plcyed by t'.io Western and National Leagues, giving the number of jJMinej won and lost, tj^ether wit>i tti3 [)jr^jtita,'d of ea?U cluo to date, Wednesday, August 30th: Games Clubs. Plave t. Won. Lost. A n Embarrassed Student. Mr. Spurgeon used to tell a good story about one of his divinity students. It was his custom, in order to test the powers of the young men for speaking, to give them, as they were about to ascend the pulpit, a text to discourse about on their cwn plan and in their own words. This, of course, was not before an audience, but simply among themselves for practice. On the occasion referred to, he gave to a young man, who as yet had not tried the ordeal, the simple word, "Zacchaeus." The young man. trembling from head to foot, said: .'I will divide my subject into three parts. First, We read that Zacchaeus was small of stature, and I never felt smaller than at the present moment. Second, We read that Zacchaeus climbed a tree, which reminds me of my ascent Into this pulpit. Third, We read that Zacchaeus made haste to come down—which accordingly I will now do." Whether this man ever became a great preacher or cot. we are not told, but he certainly r.howed that he possessed ready wit. Indianapolis 10S 64 40 Minneapolis.... 114 71 43 Grand Rapids Ill .

A report has been received of a serious riot in Chinese Thibet at a place called Paao An, some 130 miles over the border from Kansu. The Christian and Missionary alliance have had a station t h e r e for about t w o years or so, and this has been attacked and looted by t h e Thibetans. The missionaries, the Rev. George T. Shields and wife with Mrs. Beth, barely escaped with their lives at Lancho, where the China inland mission has workers.

They were small in realKy, but In t h e general carelessness of the artist's attire they did not come in tor much attention.

The Aroostook (Me.) Pioneer prints the following story of Indian shrewdness: Some river-drivers were working on the west branch of the Aroostook. The logs had jammed into a nasty snarl, and no one hankered for t h e job of going out with a cant-dog to start the key-log. In the crew was an Indian noted for his coolness and skill. The boss finally looked over in his direction. "Coot," he said, "go and break t h a t jam, and I'll see that you get a nice puff in the paper." The redskin looked at the logs and then at the boss. "Dead Injun look nice on paper!" he grunted, and walked away. [t o n s • k i C f l s t ^ s f t l J O H N W . M O B H I i , | C i l l 9 l U V i W a s h i n g t o n , D .

Loss to Veueloaea Will be Heavy. The steel steamer Douglas Houghton, the largest ship on t h e lakes, lies sunk across the channel of St. Mary's river at the Sailors' Encampment, and effectually blocks the passage of all L a k e Superior commerce. T h e Hought o n was bound down from Lake Superior, towing the big steel schooner Fritz, Both were deeply loaded with iron ore, and when iu t h e narrow passage at the Encampment wLere the current runs swiftly, the wheel chains of the steamer parted, and she swung arouml, grounding ber bow ou the banks. The current s w u n g the steru across the channel, and the Fritz, witli all the impetus of 7,000 tons of iron ore and 2,003 tons of ship, struck the Houghton on the side, cutting through the steel plates like a tin can. The steamer sank to the bottom at once, iu such a position t h a t the deep channel is completely blocked. Three Killed by a ItoUer Xxplosloo. A terrible explosion at Copemish on the afternoon of Sept. 1 wrecked the bowl and tray factory of Chapman & Sargent and caused the instant death of three men, fatally wounding three others and badly injuring three more. The mill was completely demolished, wreckage being scattered nearly half a mile iu every direction. The bodies of the deadTroen were mangled almost beyond recognition. The cause of the accident is a mystery as the engineer, the only man who could have explained it. is among the the dead, but it is thought that there was a lackf'bi water in the boiler. The building iV a complete wreck and t h e loss will be over §5,000. The factory was r u n n i n g short handed or the loss of life would have been much larger. After the Explosion, the building caught fire and the ilames were only subdued by heroic work. Our .State System Cozamrndeil. ltvconl liouker fur State Lxud Otnoi'.

The weekly crop bulletin of the Michigan weather bureau says t h a t during the early days of the week light scattering showers occurred in most of the counties of the lower peninsula. In the southeast section, especially Genessee and Lapeer counties, these showers were heavy enough to relieve the drought, but generally the rainfall has been insufficient in most of the principal agricultural counties. Corn, late beans, late potatoes, sugar beets, buckwheat and pastures are suffering. Corn cutting has been quite general in most sections, this work being no doubt hastened at least two or three weeks by the drouth. The yield of corn, both in quanity and quality, is much poorer t h a n expected four weeks ago. The dry, hot weather has blasted considerable buckwheat. Pastures are generally brown and short. Sugar beets are in fairly good condition. Fall plowing is delayed. Fruits of most kinds are scarce uud poor, especially apples. In the upper peniusula the weather and crop conditions are very promising. Coleinan'n Sliootlnsr Affray.

One of the peculiar effects of the heavy rain* at Port Huron on t h e 1st was the ascending of a dense vapor laden with carbonic acid gas from Black river. The midsummer putrid condition of the stream, resulting from the action of the fiber works acids on t h e vegetable matter in t h e river was in its most aggravated form, and the odor was carried a considerable distance. The vapor clung t o everything it touched, and the gas is said to have entered the vaults of » bank located j beside the river to such an extent as | to discolor the silver coin.

RELIABLE AND INTERESTING, The Boer-Kng-llsh Trouble Appears to be NearliiK a Crisis, Although Chamberlain U of the Opinion That the lioers Wtll Ilack Down. Boers llewdy to Fight on Short Notice. The latest reply of the Transvaal republic to the British demands has been published. In this reply regret is expressed t h a t the proposals of Great Britain are unacceptable. The Transvaal government admits Great Britain's right under the convention and international law to protect her subjects, but denies a claim of suzerainty. The reply agrees to a further conference regarding the franchise and representation. Jos. Chamberlain, secretary of state of the colonies, with heudquarters in London, says the general opinion tends to the belief t h a t the cabinet council called for September 8 will result in an ultimatum, followed by an immediate backdown on the part of the Boers or the commencement of hostilities by Great Britain. On the o t h e r hand it is learned from reliable sources t h a t President Kruger will not give Mr. Chamberlain time to send an ultimatum, but will take advantage of the first suspicious move of t h e British troops on the border to assume the offensive, and that the Boers are ready to commence actual hostilities upon a few hours notice. Five- Mou ntew so Eternity. A boiler explosion- at the Republic Iron Works, Pittsburg, Pa., on the 1st, killed five men and seriously injured seven others. A fire-which broke out following the explosion, added to the horror. The mill was partly wrecked and the entire plant was.compelled' to close down. The explosion occurred just as the night force was leaving and the day force was coming on duty, so that there were only a few men in the mill at the- time. If it had happened a half-hour later, the list of dead and injured would have been appalling. It occurred in the 14-incb department and the concussion was. terrific. Buildings* were shaken a mile away, and dust filled the air for t w o or three blocks. It entered open windows and nearly suffocated persons who were aroused by the roar and tl»e shock. Immediately Collo-wing the explosion the wreckage took Sreand t h i s added to the difficulties encoontered in rescuing the burned and mutilated victims. A^seoTIon of fchTe boiler weighing four tons was blown t h r o u g h t h e roof and crashed into a dwelling hwuse 200 yards away. The house was badly wrecked but the o c c u p a a t s escaped unhurt. Death LUt o» the Water inevwa-M*. The annual report of Gen. Duinont, the supervising inspector-general of steamboat inspection at Washington, shows that the total number of accidents to steam vessels durin^g t h e year was 48, of which 7 were from fire, 12 collisions, 8 breaking steam pipes. 2: explosions, and 18 frora snags, wrecks and sinking.

Of this number the- causes of death in 80 cases was accidental drowning, 213 from: wrecks, eKc-r t.Tfrom tire, 31 from collisions, 2* frooa explosions or accidental escape- of steam, and 27 from miscellaneous causes. Of the whole number 158 were passengers and 246 belonged to crews of ttesseis. ' T h e increase in the loss, o ^ life t h i s year over the year L897 was due to t h e loss of the steamer Portland, off t h e Massachusetts coast, during a gale on t h e night of Nowambeir ?7. 1898, wherein every soul o a board, 127, perished.

This regiment has uudergone hard outpost duty for three months, during which it has been very much exposed to the rains. Seventy- five members of the regiment have re-enlisted. Although the lowana participated in some of the hardest of the fighting between Malolos and Sa& Fernando, not one of tliem was killed . in battle.

Gen Quintin Bandera visited Gen. Gomez on the 0th. and the latter recommended a policy of nuion and con< cord. He said he- had given many thrusts with his- mftebete. but now he wished to give as-maoiy embracea He advised Bandera to inaugurate in t h e eastern provinces a policy of conciliation. Grfn. Gomez said: "Now t h a t the war is over the Spaniards should be considered friends, and t h e past should be forgotten. We and they should live together as brothers, with a common language an-d similar customs. In our attitude- toward t h e Americans we should give them full credit for a desire t o o o o s t r u c t t h e island." The matter of m a k i n g . a n effective blockade in the Philippines, and especially around the island of Luzon, so as to prevent the insurgents from obtaining ammunition and: supplies, is one that, is giving the-administration considerable concern. It has not been deemed feasible to proclaim a blockade, as it would indicate a state of w a r and possibly open a way to the recognition of the insurgents. Whether or not it is feasible to attack, subdue and garrison ail the ports of Luzon which might serve as ports of supply for t h e Filipinos has not yet be-cq determined. Many Spanish prisoners are ei-eiiprng from the Filipinos anxi bringing into the American linos stories o»f bard treatment. They agree t h a t t h e Filipinos are exceedingly -hort at rations and t h a t a large section of thjeir troops is reduced to the use of home-made black powder.

A f«;w words will explain whatever of their little history the reader will c a r e m learn. Arthur I-Virte;gh. Ildna's ' f a t h e r - four years dead—had been a gardener mi the estate of Ralph Wilmot. ihe miserly master at the hall. F:i:rleigh had once been wealthy hhns-df, but by a series of misfortunes he was reduced to penury, and was glad to accept t h e tolerably lucrative situati•<•! offered him by Mr. Wilmot. Oak C ctage, the present residence of hi;: widow and daughter, was then vacant; and there Mr. Fairleigh took r o his abode, with trie understand :v; that it should be his when he had paid the proprietor a certain sum of money agreed upon. Failing to show receipts for the fu".' amount—so ran the bond of agreement —the estate of Oak Cottage should, on the 24th of June, IS—, belong to R-ilph Wilmot, provided he still survived: but in the event of his death hetoi« the said 24th the whole properly should levert to Arthur Fair!eigh4;,r.d his heirs forever. Mr. Fairleign had been to make his last payment, when h& was seized with paralysis while yet in the presence of Mr. Wilmot; and three days afterward he expired at the hall, remaining speechless and motionless to t h e last. After the funeral obsequies were over, Mrs. Fairleigh, searching anionher late husband's papers, found Mr. Wilmot's receipts up to the time of :1K last payment. The final receipt h: full was not among them. She applied for it to Mr. Wilmot. but the miserly man disclaimed all knowledge of the reception of the money, and coolly told hethat he should abide by his agreement. She need expect nothing move at h'.; hands. Four years longer. Oak Cottage was here, and the only chance of her getting just^c^a-y in the very uncertain prospect of Mr. Wilmot's death beforthe expiration of the time mmtimvM in the bond. These years had passed now, and, with each succeeding w e a \ Mrs. Fairleigh had grown feebler. l'> on Edna's labor the existence of the family depended. As the time drew near which wa . :., turn them out into the world, sh.utrrlees. Edna went to plead with M •. Wilmot- for a little extension of the time, that she might look about for lodgings; but was harshly refund. Oak Cottage, he said, was already rented, and the new tenant would arrive on the 25th of June. He did not keep houses to shelter people v ho oould not pay for them looked so cruelly unjust to her. The rich, childless old man refusing them so little out of hJa great plentitude! •refusing them the heritage her father had labored for so faithfully, and for "vVch she knew the last dollar had b°erj paid. It ifl little wonder that, thinking over their wrongs, she should cry secretly, " 0 that God's judgment might fall upon him!" A little afterward, when she rad prayed earnestly for strength, she asked for Ralph Wilmot mercy instead of judgment; but for all that, though she forgave him, she could not forget. And this fair June morning the took her way across the hloa^oming clover fields, to the distant village, with bitterness in her heart. ilex pale cheek flushed hectic crimson with t h e violent haste of her step, and hei dark eye burned bright with the smol. dering passion within. Site could not stop to smell the sweet clover, or listen to the tender voices of the robins in the tall old trees; it would be so much time taken from her work, and she must improve every moment now, The murmur of running water broke on her ear. She must cross Scony Brook, a wild little stream that divided the meadow land from the high hills on which the village was situated Absorbed in her own painful reflections, she did not look up until she was close upon the frail bridge spanning the stream at this point, two old rotten planks only, and the recent heavy rains had swelled the brook tc the proportions of a river. It flowec on over the rocks, snow-white, anc broken into a thousand spray wreath making the fragile bridge tremble and shahfi like a reed. She looked up jus' as she was setting foot on 'he planks and, simultaneously, a frer: •,-; ery foj help rang out on the air. • Edna saw it all—under?tood it all at a glance. She saw the swift rust of that human figure downward: sa* tfhe agoni'/ed eNpreseion of the wrinkled face, framr d in by masses of long whiff- hair, and pier-ding for salvation wtih its filmy eves. And looking down to scp where th - waters had -•overed it all tip f.om : ^r sight. Edna /•'••leigh knew th'-' Ralph Wilmot's I iff- was at her mpr"'/! Her heart stood still. Every f a r :;: wa? swallowed up in the one fearfui thought that swept through bf>r mind! Tt was the ?-V: o! June, if he died that day, Oak Cotv.'.ge was theirs! An old t.tan. u n l o v i v unloved, mii- '-•••iv, f-ruel. and a curse to the world! "i here would be none to weep for him, I'fir" to -ink down d r ' t h ! The tempta'' .. with a mighty fore whirled, she tottered, and would havp fallen, but for do ken at assailed her —her bmin the old man's recovery. She labored long and faithfully with the means at her ommand. and at last she was rewarded by seeing hie eyes unclose. ;tnd his chest heave with suppressed respiration. He sat upright and looked at her. but there was no trace o, rrrateful feeling on his hard, cold facu f'e pushed her away roughly. "There, enough of that. Go abnu! your business." Edna did as she was bidden, wonder i ing within herself if Ralph Wilmot were human. The following day the Falrleighs received formal no'ice to vacate Oak ! Cottage: and jn obedience to the mandate, they removed to meagre lodgings in a crazy, old hou/e in the village. I The new tenant took possession of the cottage; and Edna's !>'*> of toil • grew drearier every day. Iler mothi er's health suffered from the removal 1 to new scenes; the severing of olden ties and affections was exceedingly painful to her, and she did not rally • from the shock as Edna hoped she ' would. J One day the Intelligence spread abroad that Ralph Wilmot was dead. The servant, on going to call his master to breakfast, had found him seated in his armchair before the writing-tahie, deae>. His eyes were wide open, one hand in his l>osom. and the o'her covering a massive document, which, on examination, was found to be a will, dated on the 24th of the preceding •June, and It was now the middle of October. 1 The pompous funeral over, the heirsat- law assembled to listen to the reading of the will, and judge of their astonishment when it was found that the testator's entire possessions, without reserve, save libera! legacies to the servants, were bequeathed to Edna Fairleigh! "I offer this in token," thus ran the will, "of my gratitude to this woman •who taught me that there is something beside selfishness in humanity. She held my life at her mercy; my death would have inexpressibly benefited her and hers, and yet she toolno advantage of her power, b"ut periled her existence to save mine." The heirs retired aghast, and in due time Edna took possession of Wilmot Hall. She did good with the fortune left it her charge. Having known the pr'ng: of poverty herself, she relieved :V-'u always in others; and through L'T gentle ministrations, Philip Wiitn;- J wealth existed not in vain. Notice to Wheelmen.

Prolonged absence sometimes makes the heart crow fonder of the absence. Sometimes a man can tell what a girl thinks of him by what she doesn't say. No one so completely realizes the inefficiency of a superior as a subordinate. Some men are afraid to marry and some men are fearless until after they marry. When poetry becomes a drug in the market it doesn't command prescription prices. A girl's idea of sweetness is a"bout equally divided between love's young dream and mixed chocolates. The Cleveland Plaindealer is shocked because the Yaqui maidens paint their faces. And they are not afraid of the powder, either. The Great Salt lake is said to ba slowly drying up, but hopeful candidates need not fear that the great Salt river will ever run dry. An Iowa woman obtained her decree of divorce nine hours after her husband died. He is not the only divorced man who didn't mind, however. There is certainly no reason for the fiuerulous spring chicken to get gay over the rise in meat prices. The effect will undoubtedly be painful to his neck. Pocket directories containing names end data concerning the small towns of the country are now, it is said, part of the equipment of every Chicago confidence man and are of material value in rounding up the rural visitor. It is now in order for some enterprising publisher to get up a directory of confidence men, with full descriptions and other information, and circulate the same through all the rural communities. Spanish bullfighting, with its danger and excitement, though without the romance, the glitter and the gaudy costumes, can be seen almost any pleasant day at the Chicago stockyards, as wsfl shown recently when a leui ^ r n - ed Texas steer broke ioobe, killed a horse, chased the general public to the nearest fences and was finally laid low by several policemen. There is one great difference, however, between the bullfight of Madrid and the steerfight of the stockyards—the Spanish *jull is attacked, tortured and continually goaded till he dies, while the wild and woolly stock}'ards steer does the attacking on hie own hook auci apparently enjoys himself until he in either slain or captured. About 1880 Capt. Oberlin M. Carter "was put in charge of the harbor work at Savannah, Ga., where extensive improvements were projected. In 1896 Carter *was relieved and sent to London as military attache of the American legation. His successor at Savannah discovered and exposed corrupt practices on the part of Carter by which the United States government t a d been defrauded of about f2.000.000. Carter was recalled from London, tried by court-martial and found guilty on every charge. The trial court was made up of military officers of high character. The finding was that Carter should be dismissed from the army, pay a fine of $10,000 and undergo a term of imprisonment, and he will be made to serve it, too. The Illinois state fair grounds have •the reputation of being the most beautlfhl and complete of any sVnailar show grounds in the world, and a visit to them fully justifies this high standing. With the magnificent dome which distinguished the famous horticultural fcuilaing at the World's Fair from all the other buildings, as the center piece In the field cf noble buildings at Springfield, the difficulty of maintaining this example of architecture has been readily surmounted in the construction of the great buildings which Hank it on either side, and the grand j and a fool for eternity? (Copyright 1SD9 by Louts Klopsch.) Industry, devoutuess and Christian service—all commended in that short text. What! is It possible that they shall bo conjoined? Oh, y€3. There is no war between religion and business, between ledgers and Bibles, between churches and country houses. On the contrary, religiou accelerates business, sharpens men's wits, sweetens acerbity of disposition, fillips the blood of phlegmatic^, and throws more velocity into the wheels of hard work. It tives better balancing to the judgment, more strength to the will, more muscle to industry, and throws into enthusiasm a more consecrated fire. You cannot in all the circle of the world show me a man whose honest business has been despoiled by religion. The industrial classes are divided into three groups: producers, manufacturers, traders Producers, such as farmers and miners. Manufacturers, such as those who turn corn into food, and wool and Max into apparel. Traders, such QH mtike profit out of the transfer and exchange of all that which is produced and manufactured. A business man may belong to any one or all of these classes, and not one is independent of any other. When the Prince Imparial of France fell on the Zulu battlefield because the strap fastening the stirrup to the saddle broke as he clung to it, his comrades all escaping, but he falling under the lances of the savages, a great many people blamed the Empress for allowing her SQJI to go forth into that battlefield, and other blamed the English government for accepting the sa?- rifice, and other blamed the Zulus for their barbarism. The one most to blame was the harnessmaker who fashioned that strap of the stirrup out of shoddy and imperfect material as it was found to have been afterward. If the strap had held, the Prince Imperial would probably have been alive today. But the strap broke. No prince independent of a harnessmaker! High, low, wise, ignorant, you in one occupation, I in another, all bound together. So that there must be one continuous line of sympathy with each other's work. But whatever your vccation, if you have a muIlIpTIci£y~oT~ engagements, if into your life there come losses and annoyances and perturbations as well as percentages and dividend!, if you are pursued u'oir: Monday morning until Saturday night. -nd from January to January by inexorable obligation and duty, then you are a business man, or you are a business woman, and my subject is appropriate to your case. * * * Traders In grain come to know something about foreign harvests; traders In fruit come to know something about the prospects of tropical production; manufacturers of American goods come to understand the tariff on imported articles; publishers of books must come to understand the new law of copyright; owners of ships must come to know winds and shoals and navigation; and every bale of cotton, and every raisin cask, and every tea box and every cluster of bananas is so much literature for a business man. Now, my brother, what are you going to do with the Intelligence? Do you suppose God put you in this school of Information merely that you might be sharper In a trade, that you might be more successful as a worldling? Oh, no; it was that you might take that useful information and use it for Jesus Christ. Can it be that you have been dealing with foreign lands and never had the missionary spirit, wishing the salvation of foreign people? Can It be that you have become acquainted with all the outrages inflicted in business life and that you have never tried to bring to bear that Gospel which is to extirpate all evil and correct all wrongs and illumine all darkness and lift up all wretchedness and save men for this world and the world to come? Can it be that understanding all the intricacies of business you know nothing about those things which will last after all bills of exchange and consignments and invoices and rent rolls shall have crumpled up and been consumed in the fires of the last great day? Can it be that a man will be wise for time I remark, also, that business life is a school for Integrity. No man knows what he will do until he is tempted. There are thousands of men who have kept their integrity merely because they never have been tested. A man was elected treasurer of the State of Maine some years ago. He was distinguished for his honesty, usefulness and uprightness, but before u*e year tttade of interests, and promises that a a a passed he had taken of the public the fair for IBM is to be in very truth , funds for his own private use, and was "thit gnats** show on earth." | hurled out of office in disgrace. Dl*- stand, barns and sheds, which for completeness, comfort and convenience, are not to be excelled anywhere. The great fair which is to begin the last Monday in September is now absorbing the attention of the state board of agriculture and a host of artisans and laborers. Secretary Gar-' rard, although lamed through an acciis vigilantly looking after a mulover the names of men just like that, In whoso honesty you had complete confidence, but placed in certain crises of temptation they went overboard. Never so many temptations to scoundrelism as now. Not a law on the statute book but has some back door through which a miscreant can escape. Ah! how many deceptions in the fabric of goods; so much plundering in commercial life that if a man talk about living a life of complete commercial integrity there are those who ascribe It to greenness and lack of tact. More need of honesty now than ever bofore, tried honesty, complete honesty, more than in those times when business was a plain affair and woolens were woolens, and silks were silks and men were men. How many men do you suppose there are in commercial life who could say truthfully, "In all the sales I have ever made I have never overstated the value of goods;.in all the sales I have ever made I have never covered up an imperfection in the fabric; of all the thousands of dollars I have ever made I have not taken one dis-' honest farthing?" There are men, however, who can say it, hundreds who can say it, thousands who can say it. They are more honest than when they sold their first tierce of rice, or their first firkin of butte1*, because their honesty and Integrity have been tested, tried and come out triumphant. But they remember a time when they could have robbed a partner, or have absconded with the funds of a bank, or sprung a snap judgment, or made a false assignment, or borrowed inimitably without any efforts at payment, cr got a man into a sharp corner and fleeced him. But they never took one step on that pathway of hell fire. They can say their prayers without hearing the chink of dishonest dollars. They can read their Bible without thinking of the time when with a lie on their soul in the custom house they kissed the book. They can think of death and the judgment that comes after it without any flinching—that day when all charlatans and cheats, and jockeys and 'frauds shall be doubly damned. It does not make their knetrs knock together, and it does not make their teeth chatter to read "as the partridge sittcth on eggs, and hatcheth them not; so he that getteh riches, and not by right, shall leave them in the midst of his days, and at his end shall be a fool." What a school of integ-ity business life is! If you have ever been tempted to let your integrity cringe before present advantage, if you have ever wakened up in some embfirrasamenL and said: 'Now, I will step a little aside from the right path and- no one will know it, and I will come all right again, it is only once. That only once has ruined -*ens of thousands of men iof this life and blasted their souls for eternity. A merchant in Liverpool got a fivepound B2uk of England note, and, holding it up toward the light, he saw some interlineations in what seemed red ink. He finally deciphered the letters, and found out that the writing had been madG by a slave in Algiers, saying in substance: 'Whoever gets this bank rote will please to inform my brother, John Dean, living near Carlisle, that I am a sla»e cf the Bey of Algiers."^ The merchant sent word, employed government officers and found who this man was spoken of In this bank bill. After awhile the man was rescued, who for eleven years had been a slave of the Bey of Algiers. He was immediately emancipated, but was so worn out by hardship and exposure he soon after died. Oh, if some of the bank bills that come through your hands could tell all the scenes through which they have passed, it would be a tragedy eclipsing any drama of Shakespeare, mightier than King Lear or Macbeth! As I go on in this subject, I am impressed with the importance of our having more sympathy with business men. Is it not a shame that we in our pulpita do not oftener preach about their struggles, their trials, and their temptations? Men who toil with the hand are not apt to be very sympathetic with those who toil with the brain. The farmers who raise the corn and oats and the wheat sometimes are tempted to think that grain merchants have an easy time, and get their profits without giving any equivalent. Plato and Aristotle were so opposed to merchandise that they declared commerce to be the curse of the nation, and they advised that cities be built at least ten miles from the sea coast. But you und I know that there are no more industrious or high minded men than thoEe who move In the world of traffic. Some of them carry burdens header than hods of brick, and are exposed to sharper things than the east wind, and climb mountains higher than the Alps or Himalaya, and if they are faithful Christ will at last say to them: "Well done, good and faithful servant; thou hast been faithful over a few things. I will make thee ruler over many things. Enter thou into the joy of thy Lord." We talk about the martyrs of the Piedmont valley, and the martyrs among the Scotch highlands, and the street and tyrs Fulton otrect and Broadway, murtyrs of Atlantic street and Chestnut street, going through hotter fires,-or having their necks under sharper axes. Then it be* hooves ua to banish all fretfulnes* from our lives, if this subject be true. We look back tf the time when we were at school, and; we remember the rod, and we remember the hard tasks and we complained grievously; but now we see it was for the best. Business life la a school, and the tasks are hard, and the chastisements sometimes are very grievous; but do not complain. The hotter the fire the better the reflalnig. There are men before the throne of God this day in triumph who on earth were cheated out of everything but their coffin. They were sued, they were imprisoned for debt, they were throttled by constables with a whole pack of writs, they were sold out by the sheriffs, they had to compromise with their creditors, they had to make assignments. Their dying hours were annoyed by the sharp ringing of the door bell by some impetuous creditor who thought it was outrageous and impudent that a man should dare to die before he paid the last half dollar. I had a friend who had many misfortunes. Everything went against him. He had good business capacity and was of the best of morals, but he was one of those men such as you have sometimes seen, for whom everything seems to go wrong. His life became to him a plague. When I heard he was dead, I said: "Good—got rid of the sheriffs!" Who are those lustrous souls before the throne? When the question is asked, "Who are they?" the angels standing on the sea of glass respond: "These are they who came out of great business trouble and had their robes washed and made whits in the blood of the Lamb." A man arose in Fulton street prayer meeting and said: "I wish publicly^ to acknowledge the goodness of God, I was in business trouble. I had money to pay, and I had no means to pay it, and I was in utter despair of all human help, and I laid this matter before the Lord, and this morning I went down among some old business friends I had not seen in many years just to make a call, and one said to me, "Why, I am so glad to see you! Walk in. We have some money on our books due you a good while, but we didn't know where you were, and therefore not having y.our address we could not send it. We are very glad you have come?" And the man standing in Fulton street prayer meeting said: "The amount the;- paid me was six times what I owed." You say it only happened so?—You are unbelieving. God answered thai man's prayer. Oh, you want business grace. Commercial ethics, business honor, laws of trade are all very good in their place, but there are times when you want something more than this world will give you. You went God. For the lack of Him some that you have known have consented to forge, and to maltreat theh friends, and to curse their enemies, and their names have been bulletined among scoundrels, and they have been ground to powder; while other men you have known have gone through the very same stress of circumstances triumphant. There are men here today who fought the battle and gained the victory. People come out of that, man's store, and they say:, "Well, if there ever was a Christian trader, that Is one." Integrity kept the books and waited on the cuztomers. Light from the eternal world flashed through the show windows. Love to God and love to man presided in that storehouse. Some day people goins through the street notice that the shatters of the window are not down. The bar of that store door has not been removed. People say, "What is the matter?" You go up a little closer, and you see written on the card of that window: "Closed on account of the death of one of the firm." That day all through the circles of business there is talk about how a good man has gone. Boards of trade pass resolutions of sympathy, and churches of Christ pray, "Help, Lord, for the godly man ceaseth." He has made his last bargain, he has suffered his last loss, he has ached with the last fatigue. His children will get the result of his industry, or, if through misfortune there be no dollars left, they will have an estate of prayer and Christian example which will be everlasting. Heavenly rewards for earthly discipline. There "the wicked cease from troubling and the weary are at rest." I New Scheme of Dealing Rebels 1$ Adopted. with: ASGftES$VE «0VE$ PLANNED. With the Re-enforcements on the Way to the Islands, the Commanders Are Expected to Deal Crushing Ulow* Against Affulnultio. Washington telegram: The special cabinet meeting was important. While it did not result in any radical changes of policy, the Philippine situation wast discussed at some length. Secretary of War Root explained his plans for the aggressive campaign that is to be conducted, and recommended some changes in the management of affairs in tho far-away islands, which were received with evidences of approval. He urge3 that the responsibilities in tho Philippines be divided, and that the government of the islands be intrusted to one official, while the command of the troops in the field be under tho supreme control of another. This plan is making friends in administration circles. Its adoption scema certain, and if approved, by the president will result in the assignment of Gen. Otis to be military governor anrt another officer, probably Gen. Law* ton, to the command of the troops. The cabinet decided to suspend negotiations with the ir.surgents through the Philippine commission, and the commission will be quickly dissolved. The president and his cabinet advisers have reached the conclusion that it is impolitic and unwise to maintain the commission and attempt to negotiate with the insurgents for surrender. An aggressive campaign has been ordered, re-enforcement3 have been provided for Gen. Otis; and the army prepared to deal crushing blows. The military men of the service will be given full sway. Col. Denby and Prof. Worcester, the two civilian members of the commission now in the Philippines, will be promptly ordered home, and the insurgents notified that any communications they may have to make in the direction of surrender must be addressed to Gen. Otis. Treasury Officials Worried. New York telegram: A special to the Herald from Washington, says that officials of the treasury department are taking every possible precaution to prevent the wholesale smuggling of Chinamen into the United States under the acFautnoriztng"tfienr-tcrbe brought~in to take part in the Philadelphia exposition. It is feared, however, that many Chinamen will get In who have npthing to do with the exposition, and that it will be impossible to get them out of the country again. The act is so worded that the treasury officials have no discretion but must admit as many Chinamen as the exposition managers want. martyrs at Oxford.

Marguerite Lilbourne and Mary Stellfng Bat lazily over their breakfast In • private hotel. It was April—a fair, sweet spring morning. All London was looking its very beat, and the flower sellers adorned the streets with masses of pale primroses and dainty Lent-lilies. Mary was reading a letter, Marguerite listening. '"And mother llke3 the house so much," said Mary, "and is longing for us to come down. She hopes we shall not stay In town more than a week. Can we get through everything in a week, Madge?" "Oh, I think so. I am longing to oee our new home." "We are so delighted that darling Marguerite has decided to come to us," read Mary. "The society is so nice here; we have had all the best people calling already. I am sure you will both be pleased with the garden and tennis lawns. As to Marguerite's rooms, she must choose and furnish them herself. The father wenUover yesterday to look at Bernard's estate —such a noble place, he says—magnificent timber and plenty of game. The marriage is to be on the tenth of May. Mildred i3 everything that we could wish—most kind; but I can't help* thinking now and then how nice it would have been if our Madge could have been mistress of all that splendor." '"Poor mother!" said Mary, breaking off. "She will never forgive Bruno for jilting you, Madge." "It is a great pity," returned Marguerite quietly. "I forgave him long ago." "I know you did," said* Mary; " a t least you said so; but, if it is true, why did you refuse that nice Mr. Lennox a t Nice?" "However, it doesn't matter, for it seems you will have plenty of chances. As I wrote to mother, I found it no Binecure to chaperone a pretty heiress there can be no such thing as a chance meeting, here In London." With a restless sigh she took up the newspaper and glanced idly through the news. Very charming she looked as she sat there. Her dress was tasteful— simple but costly. It set off her slender figure admirably. Her face had gained in beauty since the autumn before, though it had somewhat lost its childlike roundness, and for the present a t least the fun and mirthful mockery were hidden away. Her winter in Florence—where she had mixed in the best society—had given her an air of grace and distinction. Bernard Selwyn had shown a lamentable Ignorance of her latent capabilities whon he judged her to be unfit for an elevated position. Suddenly, as she read, the hand which held the paper began to tremble, her lips tightened, her color rose. Her eyes were fixed upon a short paragraph. "A gentleman was thrown from a hansom in the Strand last night and seriously injured. He was taken to Charing Cross hospital, whence it is not considered prudent to remove him. Letters found oh him prove him to be Mr. Martineau, of the firm of Leroy and Martineau, solicitors, London." "Madge," said Mary, pushing open the door at that minute, "do you know where Mr. Martineau is?" Marguerite started violently. Mr. Martineau! what—what made you think of h i m ? " "Well, I was just wondering how you were going to be Mildred's bridesmaid unless you got your marriage annulled?" "That is worth consideration," returned Marguerite, gravely. "Mary, would you think me selfish if I went cii on my own account this morning? I—I have some business—do you mind being deserted?" . "Not at all," said Mary, cheerfully. "Thank you, 4ear. You a r e quite Bure you don't mind?'* i i « ^ / S ^ / ^ ^ ^ V « ^ < "POOR MOTHER!" SAID MARY, BREAKING O F F . all over Europe. Oh, dear, now ditferent life was this time last year—eh, Madge?" "Oh, Mary, how different!" "Would you like to go back to those times?" "No," said Marguerite, emphatically, MI should not." " W h a t are you going to do this morning?" asked Mary, after a pause. "There a r e the bridesmaids' dresses to try on." "Yes; and to call on Mrs. Browning, and ask her if she will Chaperone us lor a few theaters." "We must take a hansom to go and see her. We will leave that till this afternoon." "Very well." "I will go and hunt out the address of this dressmaker of Mildred's," said Mary. "Our gowns will coat u s a pretty penny, Madge." "I suppose so," said Marguerite, rather absently, as Mary left the room, humming a lively air. Marguerite remained seateff, a faraway, thoughtful look in h e r eyes, as if ber mind were dwelling upon some absent one. "I catMoo* go to him," she said aloud, "and he will never come to » e . Is he In England, I . wonder? .Oh, where?

Shall I say we leave London this week, Madge?" "Yes, please, dear." Marguerite escaped. Hurrying to her room, she surveyed herself critically from head to foot in a full-length mirror—added a touch here and there, donned a particularly becoming hat and carefully selected gloves, then.running down s'airs, let herself out, and hailed a hatyom. "Stop at the first florist's you come to," she said. Having loaded herself with lilies of the valley and marguerites, she gave the cabman the name of t h e hospital, and was driven speedily tuiuier. It was not until she had paid and dismissed the cabman, and stood waiting for admittance, t h a t she i>egan to realize What she was doing; and she was frightened at her own ooldneas. "How is Mr. Martineau?" she inquired, with an air of confusion. "I wanted to hear how he is?"» "Which ward?" asked the porter. Marguerite could not tell. "An accident," she tried to explain. "The gentleman was. thrown out of a cab. and brought l a yesterday." A ray pf intelligence illuminated the porter's face, l i e d e p u t e d to make inquiries. CHAPTER XIX. Marguerite sat down upon a bench in the large lobby in which she found herself. She was trembling from head to foot. Never till this minute had she realized the force of her own feelings. Long since she had come to the conclusion that her feeling for Bernard had been merely that preference which so many young girls mistake for love. But this other feeling, which for months had been steadily growing in her heart—it had needed but the fact of Valdane's being in danger t o reveal to her the strength which it had attained. Thoughts of delirium, amputation, fever, death, came crowding upon her imagination. She was obliged to summon all her self-control to keep from breaking down. Presently the porter came back with the nur»,r>, a pretty dark-eyed young woman, with a sympathetic face. She looked at Marguerite kindly, but spoke in rather a coldly authoritative manner. • "I am very sorry. I daren't let Mr. Martineau see any one without doctor's orders, and the doctor's not here now." "Oh, but I must see h i m ! " Marguerite said, a frantic sense of helplessness stealing over her. "I'm very sorry. It's not visiting time, you know; and I got into trouble last week for admitting a visitor like this. I really am sorry. Try tomorrow." Tomorrow! He might be dead by then. Now, now was the time. Having come so far, she must attain her end; perhaps tomorrow she would not be able to screw up her courage. "Is no one admitted—not their nearest relations—when they are so ill? It is very cruel," she said. "Well, perhaps bis mother might be, or his wife." * Marguerite was past sticking at trifles now. "I am his wife," she said. "Are you?" returned the nurse, "I thought his wife was dead." "Why should you think t h a t ? " asked Marguerite. "Because he's got a wedding ring suspended from his neck by a pisce ol ribbon." "Oh, yes!" Marguerite stammered, "I know—that is all right. But indeed I am his wife! Oh, let me i n ! " The nurse was conquered, and requested Marguerite to follow her. New that her point w-is gained Marguerite was filled with all sorts of fears and was shivering and trembling as she followed her guide—now wishing from the bottom of her heart that she had not come, now utterly carried away by the thought of seeing him again.—She dared not .askjthe nurse any questions as to his. condition—she could not trust her voice. They reached the door of the private room he occupied. "Now wait here a moment," said the nurse, as she passed inside. Again the suspense was almost sickening. It seemed to Marguerite hours before the nurse returned. "It's all right. You can go in," she said: For the first tiifcx Marguerite wondered what she should do. "Is he delirious?" she asked of the nurse. "Oh, no; he's perfectly sensible!" Marguerite had expected delirium— she had net realized the fact that Val • ilane would know her. and now feit hei\^T^Tr>rrrb!e until she called forth all her strength,, physical and moral, and - walked steadily and noiselassly into the room. Thete was a slight movement as Valdane sank b'atfk upon hi^ pillows. "My wife," he sail, in a rather low, but distinct voice—"my wife. I could not believe it. But it is you—really you." The flowers fell from her hands. She made a step forward, and tried to speak, but could not, for the tears Tv-hiph overran ner eyes and fell down her face.

Ordinarily from one to three minutes are required to make a satisfactory radiograph of a hand. Mr. B. W. Caldwell, however, has brought the achievements of the X-ray pretty close to those of white light In t h e New York Electrical Review he publishes two reproductions of radiographs; one made in one-flve-thousandth of a second, the other in sixteen- thirty-fourths of a second; t h e latter Is. strong and brilliant. These pictures were made without any new or unusual method, but it was, of course, necessary to use very efficient tubes and exciting apparatus, and to develop the negative with care. The exciting apparatus consisted of a good, oll-insulatcd Induction coil, giving a fourteen- inch spark, and a liquid interrupter making thirty-four breaks per second. Current from the Edison mains at 117 volts was used. The negatives were made on celluloid films laid face down upon a calcium tungstate screen. As celluloid offers much less resistance to X-rays than glass, the film so arranged utilized the fluorescent screen to the greatest advantage. Pleasant, Palatable. Potent.

The weekly weather crop bulletin -says: Showers have been general in all parts of the state and the severe drouth is broken, bat the rainfall iu most of the lower peninsula counties was in* sufficient. More rain is needed for fall plowing on high land and clay soils, »nd is also necessary to germinate fall •own wheat and rye. Corn cutting lias made rapid progress during the past seven days, and in four southern tiers of counties a large part of the crop is in shock; in more northerly conn ties corn cutting has been quite generally begun. The severe drouth daring August has greatly shortened the yield of corn, especially late planted. The beau harvest is about completed and a much shortened crop is nearly all secured. The showers of the past week have been beneficial to pastures and late potatoes. Late potatoes have improved but indicate a light crop. Buckwheat is iu very poor condition, much of it having blasted in flower, and it has tilted poorly. Sugar beets need more rain, but are still In fairly good condition. Apples continue to drop very badly and will be a very light crop. Fall plowing is well advanced in the southern counties and some seeding has beeu done. jtU6tog*n Coal Equal* die Ohio Trodact.

Five o'clock on a July afternoon—an afternoon hot everywhere, hottest of all here in London; a dreary, shadelees house in a dingy square; a small sjpstairs room—half schoolroom, half sitting-room; an open window, at which much dust, much sunshine and little air came in; and near the window, sitting rigidly upright in a low chair meant for lounging my Aunt Jane, talking reasonably, mapping out mu future life for me tranquilly, but with decision. I sat and listened in silence; Meg, leaning back against the cushions of t h e shabby little sofa, put down her novel to listen, too. Dora, with her sewing in her hands, became suddenly Indolent. Aunt Jane talked on and no one interrupted. I fancy I hear her still—her calm, even, unemphatic tones, that expressed such rational sentiments, such unromantic, excellent common sense. When I shut my eyes the whole scene comes .back to me. I am seventeen again, a schoolgirl still, in a little shabby, outat- elbows frock, with my hands hot, my Angers ink-stained, and my open school books spread out before me; and once again the fear of Aunt Jane is falling upon mc like a weight. Aunt Jane made cowards of us all; •we never dared to oppose her plans. When she spoke decisively we were accustomed to assent with meekness. And of all Aunt Jane's household I was the meekest member, not because •I was by nature more meek than others, but because Fate had unkindly used me and had made me a poor relation in Aunt Jane's house. Meg and Dora dared sometimes to smile derisively as they carried out her tyrannical orders—dared to obey her with a little air of indifference and grand carelessness, as though their obedience was a matter of choice and their chooelng to obey were an accident; but then Meg and Dora were her stepdaughters— not her nieces; house room, m u l i i i i n t i i m i u M n i H t i H i m m u i u u t u t f He hopes by and by to relieve us of our responsibility." "But—but I don't understand," I said. "You are surprised, of course," continued Aunt Jane in her quiet, even tones. "I was surprised, too, I own. It seems, Kate, that he means by and by to marry you." There was a moment's pause. Meg and Dora glanced up quickly at me, with looks half comical, half commiserating. I had nothing to say, or, rather, because I had so* much to say, I could say nothing. "My dear child, push your hair out of your eyes and sit upright!" Aunt Jane commanded. "We had quite a long talk—John Mortimer and I. Of course he sympathizes with us; he knows that our means are not unlimited, and that we have Meg and Dora to provide for; he knows all that we have done for you all these years, and of course, too, he cannot help feeling that things would have been different if his father had acted uprightly. He feels most keenly all that you* have suffered through his father; but he cannot do more than he means to do. He means to take you off our hands as soon as possible; he is waiting to speak to you himself. He thinks he ought to wait, so he says, until you are less of a child. And I must say, Kate, that for a girl of seventeen, your manner Is most foolishly, most absurdly childish, and most misleading." Another pause followed. Aunt Jane rose from her chair and stood at the window, looking down with a disapproving glance at the dusty square and a weary little errand boy who was seated on his basket, resting. P *e «ently, with a sigh of relief, she turned to us again. "The more I think of this, the more satisfactory it seems," she declared, reflectively. "I hope you feel, Kate, how gny* of him—how considerate of him —such an offer is! You are such a child still; in the ordinary course of I am today. As for blushing like a baby, as you are doing now, that was a trick I was cured of before X left off bibs and pinafores." There was an impressive silence. After a minute or so Aunt Jase moved to go; but she paused Just opposite me and regarded me with attention, with an air of dissatisfaction. "vv> shall give notice for you to leave school this term," she observed, slowly; "and you can turn up your hair at once. 7)o see, Meg, what you can do to make her look presentable. John Mortimer is coming in this evening, Kate, to see your uncle. Put on another dress and come down stairs; and pray for once leave your schoolgirl manners behind you!" CHAPTER II. A minute more and Aunt Jane tras gone. The door clicked sharply behind her, her dress rustled thrqugh the passage, her steps descended the stairs; then we breathed more freely. I put my elbows en the table and covered my cheeks with my hands and looked across at the girls who faced me, and the girls, following example, put their elbows on their knees and their chins on their upturned palms, and looked back a t me in silence. Suddenly their blue eye3 twinkled, they glanced at each other, decided that the situation was comic, and laughed merrily. "He's a paragon!" said Meg, "Poor little Kitty! Will you like to marry a paragon?" For a moment I had hesltated.scarcely knowing whether to laugh or cry. The girls' merriment decided me; a lump seemed to rise up in my throat; the tears filled my eyes, overflowed, and fell fast upon my open Euclid." "Why, Kitty—crying! You are never crying?" laughed Dora, in mock reproof. "My dear, this is base ingratitude! Reflect—let us reflect on his virtues." "Turn up your pigtail at once, Kitty," interrupted Meg, with gravity. "The paragon objects to pigtails—to the juvenileness of them. Let down your frock, my dear; the paragon will never think of addressing a young person who shows her heels and the holes in her stockings. Dry your eyes, Kitty, my child; take comport—the paragon means to marry you." Their merriment seemed heartless,; I would not answer. I clasped my hantfs tightly above my forehead, and gaztd at the open page 'of my Euclid, which my tears would not let me read. "But what does all this mean?" said Dora presently, in a musing tone. "Has he really spoken to mother—and why? He can't be in love with you, Kitty; he's old—quite old—gray-haired or nearly, and you're a little chit of a high school girl—not clever, not rich, not anything—not even pretty." "No, I kaow,H I agreed, with humil- -ttyr — — A Trlpla Tragedy. Beckville, Panola county, Texas, is excited over a triple tragedy. J as. Forsythe, a highly respected young man, and Ollie Simpson, a belle of the neighborhood, eloped and were married recently. When Andrew Simpson, the girl's father, learned of the wedding on the l l i h he started after the couple on horseback. As he rode up to Foray the's home he saw his son-inlaw fleeing through the orchard. Be brought him down with seven buckshot in the groin, leaving him for dead. King H. Forsythe, father of James, came out of the house unarmed, to see what the trouble was, and was instantly killed with a load of buckshot in the abdomen. Simpson then dismounted and ran into the house with his pistol, saying he would kill his daughter, but young Foray thes mother seized and held his pistol until the girl escaped. Simpson then walked out and put the revolver to his forehead, killing himself instantly. Young Forsythe may recover. Arrested for Their Charitable Act. Three men who have been engaged in supplying food to M. Guerin, the president of the anti-Semite league, who, with a number of companions, have entrenched at the headquarters of the league, in the Rue de Chabrol, at Paris, since August 12, were arrested on the 12th after a struggle with tha police, during which one gendarme was badly kicked in the stomach. The prisoners had secured rooms opposite the bouse, known as Fort Chabrol, from which, by night, they passed food to him by means of a rope. N e w Counterfeit S 2 BUL The secret service has discovered a new counterfeit ¢2 silver certificate. It is of the series of 1896, check letter "C" Bruce register, Roberts treasurer. It is printed on two pieces of soft thin paper, pasted together, no attempt having been made to imitate the silk fiber in the genuine. It is apparently a zinc etching, the lathe work and portraits are especially bad and the counterfeit should be readily detected. 'YOU ARE SURPRISED, OF POURSE," CONTINUED AUNT JANB. "Then why does he want to marry you?" persisted Dora. ^Because he is a paragon, dear, said Meg. I looked up at her with a swift, tearful, inquiring glance. "Yes. that's it," I echoed drearily. "I understand—I understand it all; it's because—because he is so good." ''Perfect!" corrected Meg. "Yes, so perfect," I agreed. "He wants to be kind and to make things better for me; I always knew that he was trying to be kind. When he talks to me he is always so gentle—so much more gentiC tvUin when he talks to you. I know why it is—I have always known. He Is thinking of that money of mine. It hurts him to remember that his father took it away from me and made me lose it all. He wants to prevent things from being horrid for me, and BO—so he has thought of this." My tears were falling fast on the open pages of my Euclid. There was a spell of silence in the room; no one ebntradicted my explanation of John Mortimer's motive. Through my tears 1 looked up at Meg and Dora, and read M c K i n l e y N o t a " S c a b .

A long list of benefits, grudgingly given, borne clearly in xnind by the giver, oppressed me constantly when Aunt Jane was by. Aunt Jane had brought us unexpected, astonishing news that a f t e r n o o n - news that concerned me chiefly. John Mortimer, she told us, had been with her since luncheon; he had been talking to her confidentially and most sen- •ibly, and had relieved her mind of one treat worry. "For of course, Kate, you have been a worry," she exclaimed, looking at m e with unsmiling canter.

L o s t things you could not have expected a home of your own for years to come. You must have gone out as a governess— that was inevitable—-your uncle and I could not have maintained you in Idleness. And how many governesses marry, I wonder? But you understand, of course, that John Mortimer was speaking to me, Kate, in confidence; you are to know nothing of the matter. He wished to say nothing to you as yet. You are to behave quite naturally, remember, but to strive to talk pleasantly and sensibly to him and to impress upon him that you are not a child. That is why I am telling you this. If he means to propose to you, there is no reason in the world why he should delay doing so." "He might repent of his intention," said Dora, in a grave voice, but with a little smile as she looked across at me. "He thinks you too young to know your own mind," continued Aunt Jane, severely; "and no wonder he thinks yon so young, when he finds you, aa he did yesterday, with your fingers in your ears, saying your Euclid aloud!

He meant to marry me—it was his plan of compensation. We all understood it clearly: Aunt Jane approved, the girls were merry, and I. sat and wept with passionate, helpless indignation.

During the past few . months, the Baltimore and Ohio railroad has materially extended the runs of the passenger locomotives on through trains. Formerly engines were changed on an average every 100 or 150 miles. It was thought that the mountain grades of the Baltimore and Ohio railroad would prevent an extension of the runs. However, the experiment was made. It has proved successful and reduced the number of locomotives formerly required by twenty-four, which can be used in other branches of the service and save the purchase of more motive power. Under the new plan, locomotives are double crewed and make from 7,000 to 8,000 miles a month, as against 2.500 to 4,000 under the former method. A r e Yon Using Allen'* Voot-Kasc?

All New York city is astir this month, with preparations for t h e rece ption of Dewey. Already the hotels are overcrowded and one wonders where all the new arrivals will be lodged; for two million visitors are expected. One enterprizing Brooklyn paper has offered to take the names and addresses of all persons willing to take roomers during the three day's celebration and thus assist all strangers in finding lodging for t h e night. One feature of the celebration is to be a large frame work placed in the center of the Brooklyn Bridge, with letters formed of colored electric, lights, reading "Welcome to Dewey." They are to be thirty feet high and t h e piece three hundred feet long. This is so placed that it faces the entrance to New York Harbor and will be plainly seen by Dewey when he just comes through the Narrows. The fireworks committee h a s furnished every ; inhabited dwelling on the shore of t h e bay, in New Jersey as far asSeabright, and on the Long Island side as far as Rockaway with red fire. This with the fourteen boats which are to furnish continuous fireworks will make the harbor a grand sight. Although Dewey i s expected to arrive on t h e afternoon of t h e 28th there will be n o demonstration til) the day following. T h e Oiympia will anchor off Tomkinsville L. I. at the head of t h e line of war ships which is to be formed there. One of the main features of t h e land decoration will be t h e great Triumphal Arch, which is being erected in Madison Square. adiiBTrcTiSqira^ the workshop where the different sculptors are engaged in modeling the figures for the arch. This is constructed much on the style of the famous Triumphal Arch of the Emperor Titus. Already two artists have died from overwork and a third had a stroke of paralysis. It is said that if these artists, had been paid for their labor, instead of having offered to do it gratuitously, it would have taken $250,000. to meet their bills. A committee has charge of t h e decorations of t h e fronts of t h e houses along Fifth Ave. and have chosen blue, white and gold to be used. Large masts, reaching across the street are to be draped with laurel and also the columusof large statues of victory, which.are to be placed at regular intervals along the street. The stand from which Dewey will review the parade, is to be erected near the arch aud will seat 1,800 people. All the National and city guests will occupy this stand. On t h e morning of t h e 30th, the city of N. Y. through Mayor Van Wyke will present Dewey with a loving cup, in front of t h e City Hall. The Oiympia accompanied by the vessels containing the committees, will, on the 29th anchor in the Hudson opposite Grant's tomb. Following will be t h e fleet of yachts and vessels of merchant marine. Then ships of squadron, Dewey fromr the bridge of the Oiympia, reviewing them. It is t-xpected that the display of fireworks which will follow in the evening will outshine anything ever before attempted iu this line. Paine, who always has plenty of novel fireworks in store, has announced that the following will l>e among the pieces to be set off in he evening: Pictures of Ollympia, in fire 1- 000 feet square. The Southern Cross, made by explodiug shells. Illumination of entire river by 500 lbs. aluminum fire and a mam- ! moth portrait of Dewey with the words, "Well done, Dewey." On Sept. 30, immediately following the presentation of the loviug cup, Dewey will be driven, under the escort of a squadron of cavalry, to Claremont, where a breakfast will be served to him and 400 invited guests, on the lawn. At noon Dewey accompanied by the Mayor will ride at the head of the land parade. The sailors of the Oiympia have not been forgotten and a "Smoker" will be tendered them on the evening of the 30th a t t h e Waldrof- Astoria, w^ich is one of the finest hotels in the world.

No one Is rich enough to do without his neighbor.—Danish Proverb. When a woman cuts a man's acquaintance she looks daggers at him. Nahaxnlah *tx 67» "And T h a r Had Two Hundred Forty and Ilv« Hinging Men and 5101-10( W o o i n " - C h i l d r e n of too Heavenly King-. A few temptations beset the industrious, but all temptations assail the idle. If we could see ourselves as others see us it would be a severe blow to our ambition. One man ie just as good as another, but he usually considers himself a little better. Only ft baseball umpire is great enough to exhibit his indifference to public opinion. It is with ideas as with pieces of money—those of least vnlue generally circulate the best. Porerty palls the most generous spirits; it cows industry and casta resolution Itself into despair. If you want to see a strong organization, look at the liquor dealers; If you want to see a weak one, look at the consumers. Time may be money, but the man who is compelled to spend a lot of time in looking for a job Is apt to have other views. Those who can oee nothing but goodness in the world and those who can aee nothing but badness will bear considerable watching. The only difference between speculation and peculation Is a little crookedness. The fact that there is a little crookedness about the letter "a" ex* plains this. "It is not truth alone that makes literature," says John Burroughs; "it is truth plus a man." We can make the saying serve the present purpose toy changing a single word. It is not truth alone that makes a cause; it is truth plus a man. Herein is the secret of true leadership; a cause and a man —a truth to be told—and a man to tell it,—The people want the-truth~-after-U is driven home to them against their will. They will love the man who dares to preach the truth, but not till they have accepted the truth. The Farmers' federation of the Mississippi valley, alias "the farmers' trust," has been duly organized. It has elected officers, a business manager included. The object of the federation is to save money to the farmer by revolutionizing the mode of marketing his products. It Is claimed that the present cost in commissions for marketing the products of the Mississippi valley is $21,000,000. The business manager of the federation says he can do the same woTk for $1,000,000, and thus save the fanners $20,,)00,001 Then he must be a business man of phenomenal ability, able to earn millions for himself if he chose to do so. The Western Union Telegraph company employs many girls. Their duties are chiefly to file dispatches and perform such routine office work as requires little skill. In spite of the fact that the wages paid are very small, there are always many more applicants than the company can employ. This is the way they are met: Every girl who applies is questioned as to her age, education, residence. These facts are filed for future reference, and she is advised to call again at the end of fonr months should she not before that timo hear from the company. The majority of the applicants never call a second time The applicant must appear in poison, and this is a test of perseverance, which Is a quality held in esteem by the company, and other things being equal, Is likely to lead to an engagement (Copyright 1899 by Louis Klopsch.) The best music has been rendered under trouble. The first duet that I know anything of was given b£ Paul and Silas when they sang^praises to God and the prisoners heard them, The Scotch covenanters, hounded by the dogs of persecution, sang the psalms of David with more spirit than they have ever since been rendered. The captives in the text had music left In them, and I declare that if they could find, amid all their trials, two hundred and forty and five singing men and singing women, then in this day of gospel sunlight and free from all persecution there ought to be a great multitude of men and women willing to ding the praises of God. All our churches need arousal on this subject. Those who can sing must throw their souls into the exercise, and those who cannot sing must learn how, and it shall be heart to heart, voice to voice, hymn to hymn, anthem to anthem, and the music shall swell Jubilant with thanksgiving and tremulous with p^.don. Have you ever noticed the construction of the human throat as indicative of what God means us to do with it? In only an ordinary throat and lungs there are fourteen direct muscles and thirty indirect muscles that can produce a very great variety of sounds. What does that mean? It means that you should sing! Do you suppose that God, who gives us such a musical instrument as that, intends us to keep it shut? Suppose some great tyrant should get possession of the musical Instruments of the world, and should lock up the organ of Westminster Abbey, and the organ of Lucerne, and the organ at Haarlem, and the organ at Freiburg, and all the other great musical instruments of the world—you would call such a man as that a monster; and yet you are more wicked if, with the human voice, a musical Instrument of more wonderful adaptation than "all the musical instruments that man ever created, you shut it against the praise of God. "Let those refuse to sing Who never knew our God; But children of the Heavenly King Should speak their joys abroad." • * * I congratulate the world and the church on the advancement made in this a.-t—the Edinburgh societies for the improvement of music, the Swiss singing societies, the Exeter Hall concerts, the triennial musical convocation at Dusseldorf, Germany, and Birmingham, England; the conservatories of music at Munich and Leipslc, the Handel and Haydn and Harmonic and Mozart socleities of this country, the academies of music in New York, Brooklyn, Boston, Charleston, New Orleans, Chicago, and every city which has any enterprise. Now, my friends, how are we to <!•*- cide what is appropriate, especially for church music? There may be a great many differences of opinion. In some of the churches they prefer a trained choir; in others, the old-style precentor. In some places they prefer the melodeon, the harp, the cornet; "in other places they think these things are the invention of the devil. Some would have a musical instrument played so loud yo\i cannot stand It, and others would have it played so soft you cannot hear it. Some think a musical instrument ought to be played only in the interstices of worship, and then • with indescribable softness, while -others are not satisfied unless there be Btartling con traBts~amt ~staccato~TTas=- dlstlnctlon between music as aa art and music as a help to devotion. Though a Schumann oompesjed K, though a Mozart played it, though a Sontag aang it, away with It if It does not make the heart better and honor Christ. Why should we rob the programmes of worldly gaiety when we have so many appropriate songs and tunes composed in our own day, as well as that magnificent inheritance of ohurch psalmody which has come down fragrant with the devotions of other generations—tunes no more worn out than they were when our greatgrandfathers climbed up on them from the church pew to glory? Dear old souls, how tjiey used to eing? When they were cheerful our grandfathers and grandmothers used to sing "Colchester." When they were very meditative, then the boarded meeting hous? rang with "South Street" and "St. Edmund's." .Were they struck through with great tenderness, they sang "Woodstock." Were they wrapped in visions of the glory of the church, they sang Zion," Were they- overborne with the love and glory of Christ, they sang "Ariel." And in those days there were certain tunes married to certain hymns, and they have lived in peace a great while, these two old people, and we have no right t c divorce them. "What God hath joined together let no man put asunder." Born as we have been amid this great wealth of church music, augmented by the compositions of artists in our own day, we ought not to be tempted out of the sphere of Christian harmony and try to seek unconsecrated sounds. It is absurd for a millionaire to steal. I remark also that correctness ought to be a characteristic of church music. While we all ought to take part in this service, with perhaps a few exceptions, we ought at the same time to cultivate ourselves in -this sacred art. God loves harmony and we ought to love it. There is no devotion in a howl or a yelp. In this day, when, there are so many opportunities of high culture in this sacred art, I declare that those parents are guilty of neglect who let their sons and daughters grow up knowing nothing about music. In some cf the European cathedrals the choir assembles every morning and every afternoon of every day the whole year to perfect themselves in this art, and shall we begrudge the half-hour we 6pend Friday nights In the rehearsal of sacred song for the Sabbath? Another characteristic-must be spirit: and life. Music ought to rush from the audience like the water from a rock—clear, bright, sparkling. If all the other part of the church service Is duIL-da not~have-tfae music dull. With BOMB GOOD JOKES. ORIGINAL. AND SELECTED. A Variety of Jokes, Gib** and Ironies*.

Come, now, clear youi throats aad get ready for this duty, or you will never hear the ecd of this. I never shall forget hearing a French* man sing the "Marseillaise" on tht Champs Elysees, Paris, Jus* before tht battle of Sedan in 1870. I never saw such enthusiasm before or since. Af he aang tbat national air. oh, how tht Frenchmen shouted! Have you evei in an English assemblage heard a band play "God Save the Queen"? If you have, you know something about the enthusiasm of a national air. Now, I tell you that these songs we sing Sabbath by Sabbath are the national airs of the kingdom of heaven, and if you do not learn to sing them here, how do you ever expect to sing the song of Moses and the Lamb? I should not be surprised at all if some of the best anthems of heaven were made up ot some of the best songs of earth. May God increase our reverence for Christian psalmody, and keep us from disgracing It by our indifference and frivolity. When Cromwell's army went into battle he stood at the head of it one day and gave out the long-meter doxology to the tune o^-the "Old Hundredth," and that great host, company by company, regiment by regiment, division by division, joined in the doxology: "Praise God, from whom all blessings flow; Praise Him, all creatures here below; Praise Him above, ye heavenly h o s t - Praise Father, Son and Holy Ghost." And while they sang they marched, and while they marched they fought, and while they fought they got the victory. O, men and women of Jeeus Christ, let us go into all our conflicts singing the praises of God, and then, Instead of falling back, as we often do, from defeat to defeat, we will be marching from victory to victory. "Gloria in Excelsis" Is written over many organs. Would that by uur appreciation of the goodness of God and the mercy of Christ and the grandeur of heaven, we could have "Gloria in Excelsis" written over all our souls. "Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost; as it was in the beginning, Is now, und ever shall be, world without end, Amen!" 8© Father Barf* I wish that I'd been grandpa'© That I could had the Joy Of fishing in the good old days When father was a boy.

But, while there may be great varieties of opinion in regard to music, it aeems to me that the general spirit of the Word of God Indicates what ought to be the great characteristics of church music. And I remark, in the first place* a prominent characteristic ought to be adaptiveness to devotion. Music that may be appropriate for a concert hall or the opera house or the drawing room may be inappropriate in church. Glees, madrigals, ballads, may be as innocent as psalms in their places. But church music has only one design, and that is devotion, and that which comes from the toss, the swing and the display of an opera bouse is a hindrance to the worship. From such performances we go away saying: "What splendid execution!" "Did you ever hear such a soprano?" "Which of those soloa did you like the better?" When, If he h a * been rightly wrought upon, we would have gone away saying: "Oh, how my soul -was lifted up in the preseaoe of 0e4 While they were singing that 0rst hymn!" "I never had such ".pturous views of Jesus Christ as my Savior aa when they were singing tl at las* doxology so many thrilling things to sing about, away with all drawling and stupidity. There Is nothing that makes me so nervous as to sit In a pulpit and look off on an audience with their eyes three-fourths closed, and their lips almost shut, mumbling the praises of God. During one of my journeys I preached to an audience of two or three thousand people, and all the music they made together did not equal one skylark! People do not sleep at a coronation; do not let us sleep when we come to a Savior's crowning. In order to a proper discharge of this duty, let us stand up, save a* apre or weakness or fatigue excuse us. Seated in an easy pew we cannot do this duty half so well as when upright we throw our whole body Into it. Let our song be like an acclamation of victory. You have a right to sing; do not surrender your prerogative. If in the performance of your duty, or the attempt at it, you should lose your place in the musical scale and be cne C below when you ought to be one C above, or you should come in half a bar behind, we will excuse you! S-HI, it is better to do as Paul says, and sing "with the spirit and the understanding also." assigned to them will start forth to count the population and to acquire such other information as congress has decreed shall be a part of the twelfth* decennial census of the United States. These enumerators will have two weeks in the citiea and four weeks In the country in which to gather their information, and will count each person as belonging to the city or town of which he was a legal resident on June first.

Countryman's Mother (breaking in) —"That'll be all right, sir. Hla old grandmother's going round with him the nrst two or three nights, u&tilhe~ gets used to It!"—Punch, Again, I"remark church music must be congregational. This opportunity must be brought down within the range of the whole audience. A song that the worshipers cannot sing is of no more use to them than a sermon in Choctaw. What an easy kind cf church it must be where the minister does all the preaching and the elders all the praying and the choir all the singing! There are but very few churches where there are"two hundred and forty and five singing men and Binging women." In some churches it is almost considered a disturbance if a man let out his voice to full compasa, and the people get up on tiptoe and look over between the spring bats and wonder what that man is making all that noise about In Syracuse, N. Y„ in a Presbyterian church, there was one member who came to me when I was the pastor of another church in that city, and told me his trouble—how that as he perflated in singing on the Sabbath day, a committee, made up of the session and the choir, had come to ask him if he would not just please to keep still! You have a right to sing. Jonathan Edwards used to set apart whole days for singing Let us wake np to this duty. Let us sing alone, sing In our families, sing in our schools, sing in our churches. Whether this is the best time in the year to take the census has long been in dispute. Previous to 1830, August first was the date on which the count began. This shows that the summer vacation habit had not then developed. June is now almost too late. Most students of statistical science think April or May would be a better time, and Mr. Carroll D. Wright, in a census bill which he drafted a few years ago, made April first the date for beginning. Congress was conservative, however, and preferred to make no change; but by 1910 it is probable an earlier month will be chosen. The objection to beginning the enumeration on June first comes from the cities, most of which are ambitious to show as great a growth as possible. When the census reports are not aa favorable as had been expected, the cry of "Inaccuracies in the census' la usually ralaed. It is doubtless true •that the summer migration to the country does result In some errors and oversights in an enumeration begun In June. The Christmas holidays are a favorite time for census taking in Europe, but in America the heavy snows of the Northern states would make any winter month impracticable. Even in April the country roads in the extreme North are heavy with mud, and travel k almost impossible. The difficulty in fixing a date adapted to all parts of the great republic is a forcible reminder of the extent of its territory and the diversity of ita cli mate and physical conditions. l a Hard Laek.

The stage manager took up the manuscript and looked over the list •of characters. "Looks like It—If you get the right people," he assented; "but it call* lor a atroufc company." "Oh, I won't spare expense! I'm going to give it a production that will * make it the talk of London. It's splendidly advertised already, you know!

AB for the adventuress," went on the stage manager, checking off each name rapidly as he spoke, "Lady—what's her name?—I don't know a woman who could beat Wallace in that role. She'd be great! Little Dellaboy would make a good Kitty Darling—the part suits her down to the ground!" The manager took his cigar from his mouth, and gazed at it meditatively. "Don't let such a trifle a* the salary list bother you," he commented briefly. Colby stopped his checking to look keenly at his chief. "You've got to have the best," he answered. "I know they're a i r high-priced, but it will pay you to engage them." "How about Lady Clare?" asked the manager. "You've mentioned nobody t)r that, and it's the star role of the piece." "I don't know. I've been running that over ever since I read the play and nobody I've thought of seems toequal it. There's Maud Lester—she'd look the part to perfection, and she's sympathetic, but she hasn't the power. Helen Dracy's got power and intelligence, but she hasn't the looks. Can you suggest anybody? The success of the piece depends on Lady Clare." "I know of only one woman who can play it as it should be played, and has the looks to go with it," said the manager. "That's Edith Kingsle? " The stage manager shr'c&.ed his shoulders. "Her declination was very decided," he remarked. "I've kndwn women to change their CAN YOU ANSWER THAT ARGUMENT? minds occasionally!" said the manager, with flippant sarcasm. "But she said her retirement -was flpal—that she would never act again." The manager bestowed a look of pity on his subordinate. "Kingsley had the world at her feet when she married and retired two years ago. She's had time to think It over, my boy; the novelty of private bliss must have worn off somewhat by this time." Colby gave another look at the manuscript "If you can get her it's a success," he said. He had too much on his mind to en* ter into the ethics of the philosophy of a woman's change of mind. The manager gave another self-satisfied'puff at his cigar. "I'll see Kingsley today," he said. Two hours later he was ushered into the pretty drawing-room of a bouse in a fashionable quarter of the city. With his practiced eye be took in the handsome surroundings, while the neat maid carried-hie card to her mistress. "She's got all the money she wants," thought the manager; "but money isn't everything, to an ambitious woman." . Something on a< table near by attracted his attention. He went to it, and took up a large tinted photograph of a beautiful, grave-eyed girl in Juliet's bridal robes. "H'm!" he chuckled. "She hasn't forgotten her old triumphs." As he put down the picture the mistress of the house entered the room and greeted him w|th outstretched hand. "How glad I am tb see you, Mr. Runt. Is this a social >isit?" With a keen, professional sye to effect he looked on the beautiful woman before him—on the queenly pose of the stately figure, on the deep-set flashing dark eyes, with their long lashes ahd perfectly curved brows, on the -straight, patrician nose, with its thin? delicate nostrils; on the small red mouth, with its short upper lip and its Cupid's bow; on the white, resolute chin, cleft with a deep dimple; on the delicately clear cheek, with its faint rose-flush; on the soft wave In the masses of velvety black hair; and the managerial heart within him rose in revolt against this waste of youth and beauty on the desert of private life. "My dear Miss Kingsley—I beg pardon, Mrs. Arnold—I have come In person to urge the offer I made in my letter." "But I answered your letter!" she replied, smiling, but with a very decided curve to the red lips. "I am happily married—my old ambitions are dead." The manager's eyes turned in a swift glance toward the Juliet photograph. Her voice dropped suddenly. "I never had a home before; I lived on the stage." "Jfcst child-actress we ever had!" promptly broke in the manager. "Now, listen to me." He pulled out his watch. "Will you give me half an hour? I want to show you what you are throwing away. Nature had endowed the manager with a gift of plausible eloquence which had tided over many a crisis In his theatrical career; but never had he sounded so plausible, so eloquent, even to himself, as when he tried his persuasive powers on the woman before him. When his half-hour was ended he felt that be had made good use of it. "Don't think me inhospitable if I must ask you to say goodby," she said, as she held out her hand. "You have spoken very persuasively, but I can not answer you at once. I have a dear friend—a very dear friend—whom I must consult. Come tomorrow, and you shall have my answer." When the manager walked into the office his face was glowing. "I think you may cast Miss Kingsley for Lady Clare," he said. The stage manager looked up incredulously. "You don't mean to say she has consented?" "Well, she's to talk it over with a friend, and I'm to go for her answer tomorrow. But I rather think, Colby, that friend is going to decide in our favor." The manager still felt sure when he went next day for his answer. It was not in human nature, he argued, to refuse to sparkle as a bright particular star in the leading production of the season. "That woman isn't human if she resists it," he murmured, just as the tall, graceful figure he was mentally, posing h.efore_the newspaper camera entered. "Well?" he said. "I have consulted my adviser, and I am convinced that my original decision was best. <s^> The manager groaned aloud. "My dear Mrs. Arnold," he said, "I think, if I could see your friend and talk to him, I could convince him that you are making a mistake." She shook her head. "His opinions are very positive." "You don't object to my calling on him?" She smiled. "Not at all. And he Is very near— In fact, he happens just now to be in the house. Will you come with me?" The manager followed her, a little mystified. She threw open a door, and they entered a large room flooded with sun- Bhine. "Here is my friend, Mr. Hunt. He 13 ready to hear all your arguments." tonishment He found himself standing at a little crib in which lay a fat, round, rosy baby, crowing to himself in perfect content. "The gentleman wants to talk to you, darling," she said, bending over, with a tender thrill in her voice new to the man standing beside her, well as he thought he knew its every accent. The baby's great bright eyes looked up at them; then, as he saw his mother's face bending over him, he gurgled ecstatically, while the little face broke into dimples of delight, the fat little fists clutched eagerly at her, and the bare, rosy little heels beat a triumphant tattoo in accompaniment to the gurgles. "Mam-mam-mam!" he cooed, rapturously. She turned to the manager with shining «yes. "Mr. Hunt, can you answer that argument?" By this time the manager had recovered himself. "My dear madam, this is hardly fair——" he began. "By-toy," said the baby.—Answers. FIBST ROTHSCHILD. BoMla* Milk for Coffee.

CHINA'S IEARON AUTOCRAT. At the time of the French revolution, there lived at Frankfort-on-the Maine, in Germany, a Jewish banker, of limited means, but good reputation, named Moses Rothschild. When the French army invaded Germany, the Prince of Hesse Cassel was obliged to riy from his dominions. As he passed through Frankfort, he requested Moses Rothschild to take charge of a large sum of money and some valuable jewels, which he "eared mlght_ otherwise fall into the hands of the enemy. The Jew would have declined so great a charge; but the prince was so much at a loss for tho means of saving hia property, that Moses at length consented. He declined, however, giving a receipt for it, as in such dangerous circumstances he could not be answerable for its being safely restored. The money and jewels, to the value of several hundred thousand pounds, were conveyed to Frankfort; 'and just as the French entered the town, Mr. Rothschild had succeeded in burying the treasure in a corner of his garden. He made no attempt to conceal his own property, which amounted only to six thousand pounds. The French accordingly took this, without suspecting that he had any larger sum in his possession. Had he, on the contrary, pretended to have no money, they would have certainly searched, as they did in many other cases, ahd might have found and taken the whole. When they left the town, Mr. Rothschild dug up the prince's money, and began to make use of a small portion of it. He now thrived in his busincss.and soon gained niuch wealth of his own. A few years after, when peace came, the Prince of Hesse Cassel returned to his dominions. He was almost afraid to call on the Frankfort banker, for he readily reflected that, if the French had not got the money and jewels, Moses might pretend they had, and thus keep all to himself. To his great astonishment, Mr. Rothschild informed him that the whole of the property was safe, and now ready to be returned, with 5 per cent interest on the money. The banker at the same time related by what means he had saved it, and apologized for break TV h e n t h e E m p e r o r a a y a I t I s H u m m e r , I t 1» S u m m e r . Th* emperor has some Rtringe duties. One of these is the ordering of the seasons, says the Youth's Companion. It is. aummer in America rthen the sun warms the earth, and not till then, but in China it is summer when the emperor says it Is summer. As soon as the emperor declares that summer has come everybody in China puts off winter clothing and arrays nimseK in summer garb, no matter what his feelings say on the subject. All domestic arrangements are made to suit the season, as proclaimed by the emperor, although they may not suit the individual at all. The nearest approach to the Chinese custom of ordering the seasons Is the practice observed in France in all public buildings. There it is winter on and after Oct. 1. Fires are then lighted in all government offices and the servants exchange their white summer waistcoats for the thicker and darker ones of winter. At that date the public libraries are closed at 4 and In the streets the sellers of roasted ahestnuts make their appearance. In official France it Is winter, no matter what the weather may say. /^SS # ' PSHS Dizzy? Then your liver isn't acting well. You suffer from biliousness, constipation.

The city fathers assumed that they would burn until after midnight, and all honest citizens ought to be in bed by that time.

A T E THE '-•• Ing upon the money, by representing that, to save It, he had had to sacrifice all his own. The prince was so impressed by the fidelity of Mr. Rothschild under his great trust, that he allowed the money to remain in his hands as a small rate of interest. To mark,-also,-his gratitude, he recommended the Jew to various European sovereigns as a money-lender. Moses was consequently employed in several great transactions for raising loans, by which he realized a vast profit. In time he became immensely rich, and put his three sons into the same kind of business in the three chief capitals of Europe—London, Paris and Vienna. All of them prospered. They became the wealthiest private men whom the world has ever known. He who lived in London, left at his death $35,000,000. The other two were created barons, and died not less wealthy. Thus a family, whose purse has maintained war and brought about peace, owes all its greatness to one act of honesty under trust. S t o r y o f a Long* B e a r d .

Mrs. Mary H. Brooks, of Charlotte, the first woman ever convicted of murder in Michigan, has married D. H. Stewart, the complaining witness whose testimony was largely responsible for her spending ~3 years in Jackson prison. Simon Brooks, a wealthy resident of the western portion of Eaton county, died March 15, 1876, under mysterious circumstances. His widow, Mary Brooks, was arrested, charged with the murder on compla' it of D. H.v Stewart, a neighbor. At a special session of the grand jury to investigate the crime Mr. Stewart swore that he purchased a vial of arsenic, properly labeled poison. Mrs. Brooks, who was at his home, inquired as to the contents of the bottle, and he told her it was arsenic. Not having any occasion to use the poison on that day, he put it away. Mr. Brooks died soon afterward, aod it was proved that his death was caused by arsenic poison. The bottle containing the poison was missing from Stewart's house, and he reported his loss to the county officials. After a thorough search the empty vial was found in the Brooks residence. After three days/ deliberation the jury convicted Mrs. Brooks of murder in the first degree and she was sentenced to Jackson for life, but was pardoned after she had served 23 years. Oot 'Kin on the 111 p. ft looks as if the county treasurers and registers of deeds have the state tax commission on the hip. The statute creating the commission is silent regarding compensation for information furnished by these officials, and the law does not compel them to furnish it gratis. Many have already struck, and it seems as though the tax commissions must either have to do without the information or dig it out for themselves. The supreme court has passed upon this question in the case of County Clerk Gardner, of Newaygo vs. the county supervisors. He brought ia a bill of ¢49 against the supervisors for doing work outside of of his official duties for the state tax statistician. The court says there is no law compelling the supervisors to pay for it and that he cannot be compelled to furnish such information to state officials.

'The" weekly crop bulletin of the Michigan weather bureau says that during the early part of the week generally cool, dry weather with hard killing frosts prevailed, frosts of greater or less intensity having occurred in most of the counties of the state. In the southern four tiers of counties, these frosts were generally light and their damage confined to low lands, "b~uTovcr ttre~ remaining—partion_of the • state they were heavy and killing. Late potatoes suffered the most for the reason that they had made such slow progress during the August drouth, that they were far from being mature "~^hen the—frost struck them:—Corn cutting is nearly completed in all sections of the state, so that this crop fcuffered very little damage. In the northern and central counties buckwheat harvest is in progress. The yield is very poor as is the prospect in the southern counties, the drouth having greatly shortened the crop. Fall plowing, preparations for seeding, and the sowing of winter wheat and rye, have been quite general, but such work has been greatly retarded by the dry condition of the soil. Sugar beets have made good progress and indicate a fair crop. Apple picking is in progress, but the fruit has fallen so badly that but little remains upon the trees. The yield is light and of poor quality. . ,» I. O. O. F. at Detroit. The 75th annual communication of the sovereign grand lodge, I. O. O. F., convenes in Detroit this week. There are no officers to elect at this time. The grand sire is elected for two years and the present incumbent came into his Office at Boston last year. By the precedent of many years the deputy grand sire is advanced to the office of grand sire at the conclusion of the superior officer's term. There will be the usual grist of legislation brought before the sovereign grand lodge. There has been in times past considerable question about the admission of women delegates to the sovereign grand lodge. This question came up after the adoption of the Rebekah degree an the formation of the Rebekah lodges. The women wanted representation in the sovereign body, which legislates for them. There was a petition before the order some years ago, about 1692, and representation was re* fused. This question, it is expected, will be decided at this meeting. The parade, which occurred on the afternoon of the 20th, was a magnificent spectacle. The total number taking part in the parade is estimated at-over r»,000 people, audit took a little more than one hour for the it to pass a given point. Eighteen bands furnished the music Teachers' Certificates. The state board of education has new rules about renewal of certificates. Those holding the four-year college certificate for teaching can have them renewed for life, but they must apply 30 days before one of three regular meetings of the board in April or September at Ypsilunti or in December at Lansing, and must appear in person at that meeting with their certificate and testimonials from the county commissioner of schools, the superintendent where they teach and a majority of the school board. They must have taught three years before they get this renewal. The same rule applies to holders of state teachers' certificates and normal school diplomas from other states, where those other states extend the same courtesies to certificates and diplomas from Michigan. Preferred Death to Arrest. Surrounded by officers of the law who were about to arrest him and with the glow of a dark lantern upon his face, young Hans Boedder shot himself at Ann Arbor on the evening of the 21st, seeing no other way to escape from the penalty of broken law. Roedder is wanted in Grand Rapids on the charge of stealing a number of bicycles, estimated as high as 20. When the boy see it was all up with him he deliberately placed the muzzle of a 44- caliber revolver against his right temple and pulled the trigger. The ball seemed to have struck glancing, for it did not penetrate the bone, but tore its way out through the right eye. It is believed the boy has a chance for recovery. Large Grain Shipment Abroad. The McLane. Elevator Co., of Battle Creek, on the 19 th shipped over the C. & (>. T. R. R., direct to Portland, Me., 30 cars loaded with 30,000 bushels of oats and corn. The cereals will be shipped from Portland to England. This is the largest amount every shipped from the city. It was a good advertisement for Battle Creek as each car was placarded with large letters, composing the name of the firm and where it was shipped from. The grain was bought in several adjoining counties. Six Killed In a Kace Klot. Carterville, III., was the scene of a bloody riot about noon on the 17th in which six Negroes were killed and one fatally wounded, while two others received slight wounds. Trouble hasbeen brewing since the militia was recalled by Gov. Tanner a week ago. The white miners of the place has refused to allow the Negro miners to come into town, always meeting them and ordering them back. On the above day, however, 13 Negroes, all armed, inarched into town going to the Illinois Central depot, where they exchanged a few words with the white miners there. Then the Negroes pulled their pistols and opened fire on the whites, who at once returned the fire. A running fight was kept up. The Negroes scattered, some being closely followed by the whites up the main street, while the remainder fled down the railroad track. Here the execution was done, all who went through town escaping. Still In Need of Food. If there are any coiumittees in this state that were formed for the purpose of collecting funds for the relief of the Porto Rican sufferers, they are requested to make themselves known. The governor is in receipt of a letter from Secretary of War Root in which he requests information about all such committees in the state. He wants t h i sTn f or msttotr because—a—new— ceo: tral Porto Rico- relief committee has been formed.

"• Arrested f»- an Old Crime. Abe Truax, of Owosso, was arrested on the 18th charged with the murder of Jack Entwisle, July 28, 1896. Entwisle's mangled body was found neSr the railroad track one mile north of that city on the above date, and it was supposed that he was walking on the track and was run over. Bnt the appearance of the body and the absence of blood near the track led many to believe that he had been killed and the body placed on the track. Truax lived nearby in a hut in the woods with several women, and the two men were known to have had trouble. His trial is set for the 26th inst. Taxpayers ai*e Pleased. The taxpayers of Mussey township, St. Clair county, are jubilant over the fact that the supreme court reversed the verdict given Attorney H. P. Jenney in the S t Clair circuit court. Jenney contended that the township owed him $2,100 for legal services tendered in collecting a drain tax. The circuit court awarded him $950 and ^osts. This sum is considered saved by the taxpayers"by~tlie decision-of-the font eia_pol ice supreme court It cost the township $600 to defend the case. Terrible Crime at Port Huron. As a result of a domestic quarrel at Port Huron, on the morning of the 19th, Judson Herrendeen is at the hospital with three bullets in his body and his wife committed suicide by sending a bullet through her temple.

Thinks Lincoln's Views Were O. K. Senator Butler, of South Carolina, in reply to questions recently asked him by a New York party on the race problem, says: "To my mind it behooves the government of the United States to carry out the proposition of President Lincoln and provide a home in Central or South America whese the Negro may be induced to emigrate and set up for himself. It would be infinitely better for the Negro, who can never reach the full measure of American manhood and citizenship with his environments of race prejudice and ostracism in this country." * ling ID* to Look More Like War.

Oh, the shock of it! Dora, my dear, let us make her elegy. We may regard her aa having passed away from this life. You poor little thing! Don't cry, Kitty; let us look upon the bright side cf it." "There is no bright side," I interposed, with a little Bob. "Oh, nonsense!" said Dora, reassuringly. "Hundreds of things may happen. He may change his mind—that's not at all Improbable. He may marry you and die during the honeymoon." "1 have always longed to be a widow," reflected Meg, musingly and cheerlngly. "A widow," added Dora, still in a tone of reassurance, "is the happiest, freest, most enviable being in the world! Think of the independent, lovely times she has! Her relations can't tyrannize any longer. She has to be treated with respect, gentleness, deference, and great courtesy. Oh, to be a widow! Cheer up Kitty.

Dora sat opposite, regarding me with an air of grave reflection; Meg etood beside me, bending down to rest one elbow on the table, and looking closely at me with smiling eyes. "When does he mean to speak to you, I wonder?" said Dora at length. "And how will he frame his strange proposal? W h a t days and nights of re-, ':Oh, a thought has struck me!" exclaimed Dora, in a thrilling tone—"a truly appalling thought! Kitty, my dear, you will have to call him 'John!' Kitty, don't go—don't go; we want to talk to you!" I had turned to flee. I had my hand on the open door; but I looked around Sercely before I went. , l I hate you!" I cried. "I detest you!" And I shut the door and ran along the passage to my room. CHAPTER III. Two hours later I was seated, sewing in hand, opposite to Aunt Jane in the drawing-room, listening for the study door to open and for the sound of a footstep on the stairs. My face, as I stooped over my work and tried to escape Aunt Jane's keen scrutiny, was hot and flushed; tears were still very near to my eyes; my heart was beating fast with strangely mingled feelings— irdignation, outraged pride, excited expectation. "Kate, are you listening to me?" demanded Aunt Jane suddenly, In a tone of accusation. I started^ guiltily. I had been listening, not to Aunt Jane, but to certain sounds which ascended from down stairs—the study door's being opened and shut, two deep, grave voices in earnest talk. "I told John Mortimer that he should have opportunities of seeing you frequently," continued Aunt Jane, in her clear, level, decisive tone; "r>o presently I shall go away and leave you aloite to talk to one another. I have onlj cne thing to say to you, Kate—remember that he spoke to me this afternoon in confidence; you were to know nothing of his intentions; you will behave pleasantly but quit* naturally." With a sinking heart I sat and listed to Aunt Jane's impossible advice offered so easily. "Behave naturally!" Could I ever fcgain stand, sit, speak, look or think in John Mortimer's presence except with painful, terrible self- I SEATED MYSELF AND TOOK UP MY SEWING. flection it will cost him! He will look down at you benignly; he " " H e will pat you encouragingly on the head," added Meg, patting me herself to give point to the remark. "Be sure you say 'thank you' prettily, Kitty, my child," tutored Dora. "Fold your hands meekly across your apron and speak prettily." "Her aprons will be no more!" said Meg in a tragic tone. "Pinafores and pigtails are hence^r!'* to be dis- \ carded." "He'll bring you a ring," saM Dora. "Say you have a fancy for diamonds. Kitty. Say you prefer the diamonds to fce big." "He'll bring you tender offerings of flowers," added Meg. "And I shall be able to wear them." "And I suppose," observed Dora, gravely and very doubtfully, with much hesitation—"I suppose new he will feel constrained to say that he loves you, Kitty." My cheeks, already crimson, grew hotter suddenly. I put up iny hands to cover them. I pushed back my chair from the table and turned away with kelpies* anger, which for ,%. moment would not let me speak. consciousness, with a haunting remembrance of all that Aunt J a n e ' h a d told me? Why had she told me? I had liked him—I had liked him so much! He had been so good to me, eo kind! No one else had been so kind! I had said what I liked to him always; I had treated him as a dear elder brother, with whom I need not stop to weigh my words. If I had seen him ahead as I went to school in the morning, I had walked fast to overtake him; when, in the evening, he came to see us, I had always been glad, and had always told him so with a smile that made the words emphatic. I had alwaya been sorry when he went away; and that, too, I had told him, simply, without reserve. "Natural!" I had behaved naturally with him all my life! I could never be natural with him any more. "My d e a r child," said Aunt Jane, looking at me with sharp, attentive scrutiny, "if you wear that tragic air. I shall regret that I told you anything." "I wish—oh, I wish you hadn't!" I cried, reproachfully, with sudden passion that overcame my fear. As steps1 came up the stairs, I turned away toward the window. The window vtfts abut, as Aunt Jane preferred all windows to be. Through the hot, dusty panes I looked out at the tree tops In the square garden, and n^rer turned my head. A minute later John Mortimer crossed the room ta where I stood. "Kitty," he said, quietly. He put out his hand. He was standing beside me, his gray eyes smiling gravely at me. My eyes had no answering emile as I raised them slowly to his. It was a grave, quiet, somewhat rugged face at which I looked—a face at the same time stern and gentle. The 'ay eyes were deeply set, beneath level, thickly penciled brows; they smiled rarely—and, when they smiled, the smile was more grave than merry. He was still a comparatively young man, though Dora and Meg always spoke of him as though he were their father's comtemporary. He was thirty- five—no more; but his dark hair, his short, brown beard were already touched with .gray; and his face, his voice, his manner were alf older than his years. "What is happening down there?" he asked, taking up his stand beside me and following my glance. My eyes were fixed intently on the dusty railings of the square garden. Around the corner of the square came a sad-looking man, with a sunbrowned face, bearing an old organ and a very wizened, mournful little monkey. "Will he stop?" I exclaimed, with sudden well-simulated eagerness. "No —yes! Yes, he is going to stop!" "Kitty, what a child you a r e ! " said John Mortimer, in a quiet, wondering, half-tender tone; and the tone or the words sent the hot blood rushing to my cheeks and eat all my pulses throbbing. "I know I am a child," I said quietly, almost fiercely. "I like being a child. I don't want to grow up. I will be a child as long as ever I can be." He was looking down at me with an observant glance, though I looked so steadily away from him. There was a suspicion of laughter In his voice when,'after a moment, he spoke again. "In spite of yourself, Kitty, age is creeping upon you. In our mothers' and grandmothers' days seventeen, 1 believe, was a very mature age, indeed." "But not now," I said eagerly, with too much earnestness. "Seventeen Is nothing nowadays. You're only eld enough at seventeen to go in for senior Cambridge examinations. If you want to go to college, you can't—they won't have ycu because you're so young. Holloway will take you, but Girton and Newham won't. Do you know how old our sixth form girls are? I'm the youngest; some are eighteen, some are -^^e-teen, and some arj Boeri f f ill Itet Bscede. T h e Transvaal adheres to the seven years' franchise law, b a t is willing' to consider and if necessary to adopt any suggestions Great Britain may make with regard to the working of the law. In regard to the other points of Mr. Chamberlain's dispatch, the Transvaal boldly stands by the London convention. I t Is said that the reply is coached in polite terms. State Secretary Reitz, in the course of an interview, expressed some doubt as to w h e t h e r any alteration would be made in the existing franchise law, but said he believed a way should and could be found to establish an arbitration court. "As to suzerainty, the least said the soonest mended," remarked the state secretary. In the forecasts of President Kruger's reply there is undoubtedly a large basis of t r u t h which seems to bring the dispute within a measurable distance of war. ft Although my face was turned toward the dusty, vjut-of-door world, and rny ba'frfc' toward the drawing-room, I wa« coh^cTous^t\^at'TJhcTe'"RTchafa hadbeen" sent away fry Aunt Jane, and that Aunt Jane v a s preparing to follow him. In another minute we were left alone. My cheeks * c r e burning, my heart was beating a'fc^rily at the consciousness of why we wer* left alone. "I never realized before the extreme youthfulness of seventeen," said John Mortimer gravely. But, looking around at him, I caught the amused smile with which he was regarding me. "Why have I made you so indignant, Kitty?" he continued, in a different tone. "Why have I brought this severe lecture upon myself? Is it all apropos of the organm a n ? " "It's apropos of nothing."* "I knew an old man of seventy-seven once who could never pass a Punch and Judy in the street. If he came in only for the end of the performance, he would trudge along with the urchins to the next street to hear the beginning. If seventy-seven takes delight in a Punch and Judy, seventeen may surely be allowed an organ-man and a monkey. Did I imply otherwise? If I did. I retract." He opened the window as he spoke and threw out a little silver coin, which the organ-man. smiling suddenly but somewhat sadly, moved hastily to secure. The window, once opened, remained open; the room was a little less stifling than before. A soft evening breeze that was almost cool stole in. Across the square, beyond the houses, the sky was red; indoors the light was beginning to grow dim. Dim light improved Aunt Jane's drawing-room. But even In the grayest twilight it remained an ugly room. Its ugliness was/hopeless, without one redeeming feature. I seated myself at the foot of the twisted little sofa, close to the open window, and too* up my sewing, which I had dropped just now to listen to Aunt Jane. John Mortimer sat down opposite me in Aunt Jane's chair. He leaned his elbow on the arm. &i$ sat in a thoughtful, observant attitude, his head resting against h i t hand. (To Be Continued.)

The Englishman carries his loose in his right-hand trousers' pocket gold, silver and copper all mixed up together.

The American carries his wad of bills in a peculiar long, narrow pocketbook, In which the greenbacks lie fiat; the Frenchman makes use of a leather puree with no distinguishing characteristics, while the German uses one gaily embroidered in silks by the fair hands of some Lottcben or Mina.

It's difficult to pose as an optimist when the rent collector calls. If a man can't trust himself he has no right to expect others to trust him.

Says an old bachelor: "Women •ometimea shed tears because they think love, like beef, is best preserved by brin«." Russian policy in China has been viewed with considerable distrust, in its bearing upon the commercial Interests of other powers. A recent decree of the tsar, however, goes far to relieve the fear that Russia would' insist on exclusive privileges. The tsar, addressing the Russian minister of finance, directs that the important part of Ta-lien-wan shall be open to the commerce of all nations as long as the treaty with China holds, which is for S9 years. T h e name of 6-year-old Rudolph Becker of New Brunswick, N. J., belongs in the list of those who have given their lives to save others. The boy was playing in the street with his younger brother and sister one day last month, when a runaway team of horses, attached to a heavy wagon, came around the corner. Rudolph was near the curbing and might have saved himself, but instead he ran out, drew his little sister one side, then darted right in front of the horses, in an effort to save his brother. Both wheels passed over him, and he lived but two hours, the only words he spoke being the question, "Did baby and Nathan get h u r t ? " The other children were both saved. (Copyright 1800 by Louis Klopsch.) So Solomon, by one stroke, set forth the imperial character of a true Christian woman. She is not a slave, not a hireling, uot a subordinate, but a queen. In a former sermon I showed you that crown and courtly attendants, and imperial wardrobe were not necessary to make a queen; but that graces of the heart and li:© will give coronation to auy woman. I showed you at some length that woman's position was higher in the world than man's, and that although she had often been denied the right of suffrage, she always did vote and always would vote by her Influence, and that her chief desire ought to be that she should have grace rightly to rule in the dominion which she has already won. I began an enumeration of some of her rights, and now I resume the subject. In the first place, woman has the special end the superlative right of blessing and comforting the sick. W"hat land, what street, what house, has not felt tho smltings of disease? Te-ns of thousands of sick-beds! W h a t shall we do with them? Shall man, with his rough hand and clumsy foot, go stumbling around the sick-room, trying to soothe the distracted nerves and alleviate the pains of the distressed patient? The young man at college may scoff at the idea of being under maternal influences, but at the first blast of typhoid fever on his cheek he says, "Where is mother?" Walter Scott wrote partly in satire and partly iri compliment: . alio through «11 of our war with Spain —women heroic on the field, braving death and wounds to reach t h e fallen, watching by their fever cots in t h e West Indian hospitals, or on t h e troopships, or in our smitten home-camps. Men did their work with shot and ehell and carbine and howitzer; women Cld their work with socks and slippers and bandtages and warm drinks a n d Script u r e texts and gentle stroking* of t h e hot temples and stories of t h a t land where they never have any pain. Men knelt down over the wounded and said, "On which side did you fight?" Women knelt down over the wounded an,d said, "Where are you hurt? W h a t nice thing cau I make for you to e a t ? What makes you cry?" Tonight while we men are sound asleep in our beds, there will be a light in yonder.loft; there will be groaning down the dark alley; there will be cries of distress In that cellar. Men will sleep, and women will watch. beautiful aouae of her father, fr.o:n which you brought her ten, twenty, o r thirty years ago. Yeai laid: "Well. this is the happiest day of my IKe. I a m glad I have got from undt • my burden. My v/lfo don* care—I don't care." At tho moment you were exhausted God sent you a Deborah to meet the host of Amalekites and scatter them like chaff over the plain. There are sometimes women who sit JOHN C. HUBlNGEPw.

Among the leader* of the progressive* element for which the midle wet-it is fuuious, Mr. John C. llubinger, of Keokuk, lu., reigns without a |**er. As a manufacturer, as an eiitei-prising-capitalist aiul as a philanthropist his fame reading sentimental no.sle, and who ha* spread over many stutr#, and hi* Swimming a river in the face of the foe was one of the most talked-of bits of heroism in the Philippine war. It fully merited the applause given it. But what are we to say to the railroad watchman who swam a raging torrent a t the risk of his life to signal a train and save the lives of j-ts passengers, who refused ^he purse of gold offered then swam back through the angry waters to save another train? There Tras no excitement of battle to nerve him to his task; no glory; no hope of promotion; no mention in the bulletins, nothing but a meagre three-line item in the papers—and his sense of ekrty. Yet who can say the obscure watchman was less of a hero than the soldier? 0 woman, In our hours of ease, Uncertain, coy and hard to please; When pain and anguish wring the brow, A ministering angel thou. I think the most pathetic passage in all the Bible is the description of the lad who went, out to the harvest field of Shunem and got sunstruck—pressing his hands on his.temples and crying out: "Oh, my head! my head!" And they said: "Carry him to his mother." And then the record is: "He sat on her knees till noon, and then died." It is an awful thing to be ill away from home in a strange hotel, once in a while men coming in to look at you, holding their hapd over their mouth Fortear they will Tatch How roughly they turn you in bed. How loudly they talk. How you long Again: woman lias a special right to take care of the poor. There are hundreds and thousands of them all over the land. There Is a kind of work that men cannot do for the poor. Here comes a group of little barefoot children to the door of the Dorcas Society. They need to be clothed and provided for. Which of these directors of banks would know how many yards it would take to make that little girl a dress? WThich of these masculine hands could fit a hat to that little girl's head? Which of the wise men would know how to tie on that new pair of shoes? Man sometimes gives his charity in a rough way, and It falls like the fruit of a tree in the East, which •fruit comes down so heavily that It breaks the skull of the man who is trying to gather it. But woman glides so softly into the house of destitution, and finds out all the sorrows of the place, end puts so quietly the donation on the table, that all the family come out on the front steps as she departs, expecting that from under her shawl she will thrust out two wings and go right up toward heaven, from whence she sterns to have come down. 0, Christian young woman! if you would make yourself happy, and win the blessing of Christ, go out among the destitute. A loaf of bread or a bundle of socks may make a homely load to carry, but the angels of God will come out to watch, and the Lord Almighty will give his messenger hosts a charge^ saying, "Look after that woman; canopy her with your wings, and shelter her from all h a r m ; " and while you are seated in the house of destitution and suffering, the little ones around the room will whisper, "Who is she?" "Ain't she beautiful!" and if you will listen right sharply, you will hear dripping down through the leaky roof, and rolling over the rotten 'Tr.-|-gta1rs7The ""affget-chTnT"~Oiar ©BooTT Bethlehem: *'Glory to God in the wish that they had some grand field In which to display their Christian powers. What grand and glorious things they could do If they only had an opportunity! My sister, you need not wait for any such time. A crisis will come in your affairs. There will be a Thermopylae in your own household where God will tell you to stand. There are scores and hundreds of households today where as much bravery and courage are demanded of women as was exhibited by Grace Darling, or Marie Antoinette, or Joan of Arc. Again, I remark it is woman's right to bring to us the kingdom of heaven. It is easier for a woman to be a Christian than for a man. Why? You say she is weaker. No. Her heart is more responsive to the pleadings of divine love. She Is In vast majority. The fact that she can more easily become a Christian I prove by the statement that three-fourths of the members of churches in all Christendom are wornfinancial enterprises have developed many obscure towns into "progressive, thrifty and wide-awake cities. Mr. 11 ubVnger, although' but 47 years of age, can look back upon scores of commercial victories, each one of which has benefited mankind, for hi* liberality is as bountiful us his business sagacity is murvelous. He was boru in New Orleans, La., his parents being of French and German"oi in. 'When he was four years old, his wuuily removed to Kentucky, in which state younjr JIubinger received n public school education. Alnios't before reaching' man's estute he secured patents on u number of valuable mechanical inventions, thereby laying the foundation of Li* present fortune. By inclination and force of circumstances his atteution was early direct" ed to the manufacture of starch by improved processes, and in the course of time he became the head of a concern having" an unnuui business of millions of dollars. But genuine ambition en.

I know When the Joint, High commission •suspended its sittings at Washington. "ast February, it was with the expectation Of reassembling at Quebec on August 2nd. But the main question at issue, that of the Alaskan boundary, h a s not been brought any-nearer a-settlement by the intervening negotiations, and the meeting of the commission has therefore been postponed to a later date, not yet named. Canada wishes to secure port privileges on the Lynn canal, so a s to obtain access to t h e Pacific; but the American claim, tinder the treaty of 1825, between Russ i a and England, is for a continuous s t r i p of territory following the windings of the coast. Just as the situation seemed hopeless, t h e British governm e n t resumed direct negotiations, on t h e basis of an American proposition, once rejected, which may furnish a way oujpOf t h e difficulty. w _ " Life's pathos and humor are often •commingled, a a d the contrast is not always so violent a s to pain or shock by " i t s incongruity. One of the rules of the •New York Floating hospital prohibits t h e giving of food to ailing infants t h a t is not prescribed by the attending physician. As the vessel beared the city after a i-ecent trip seaward, a watchful nurse came suddenly upon two email girls and their baby brother. A frightened, furtive hiding of something In a paper bag awakened her suspicion. She Investigated, and found t h a t the children had been attempting t o foed the baby with fragments of lobster and cucumber. Stern questioning brought a tearful confession from the frightened children. Baby's too rapid oonvilescence threatened to deprive t h e m of further delightful outings in the hospital, and t - prevent this they concluded to give him a convenient relapee. "But," said the horrified nurse, "baby might have died!" "Oh, no, mi«s," wae the eager reply, "we know- • d he wouldn't die. 'Deed we did, miss —ail our family i t so strong in their instdes," one such who went away from one of the brightest of homes, for several weeks' business absence at the West. A telegram came at midntgltf t h a t he was on his death-bed far away from home. By express t r a i n t h e wife and daughters went westward; but they went too late. He feared, not to die, but he was in an agony to live until his family got there. He tried to bribe the doctor to make him live a little while longer. He said: "I am willing to die, but not alone." But the pulses fluttered, the eyes, closed and the heart stopped. The express trains met in the midnight; wife and daughters going westward-—lifeless remains of husband and father coming eastward, Oh, it was a sad, pitiful, overwhelming spectacle! When we are sick, we want to be sick at home. When the time comes for us to die, we want to die at home. In our Civil War, men cast t'te cannon, men fashioned the musketry, men cried to the hosts, 'Forward, march!" men hurled their battalions on the sharp edges of the enemy, crying, "Charge! charge!" but woman scraped the lint, woman administered the cordials, woman watched by the dying couch, woman wrote the last message to the home circle, woman wept at the solitary burial, attended by herself and four men with a spade. We greeted the generals home with brass bands and triumphal arches and wild huzzas; but the story is too good to be written anywhere, save, in the chronicles of heaven, of Mrs. Brady, who came down among the sick in the swamps of tho Chlckahomlny; of Annie Ross, in the cooper-shop hospital; of Margaret Breckinridge, who came to men who had been for weeks with their wounds undressed—some of them frozen to the ground, and when she turned them over, those t h a t Lad an arm left, waved it andvfllled the air with their "hurrah!"— of Mrs. Hodge, who came from Chicago, with blankets and with pillows, until the men shouted, "Threo cheers for the Christian Commission! God bless the women at h o m e ; " then sitting down to take the last message: "Tell my wife not to fret about me, but to meet me in heaven; tell her to train up the boys whom we have loved so well; tell her we shall meet again In the good land; tell her to bear my loss like the Christian wife of a Christian soldier"—and of Mrs, Shelton, into whose face the convalescent soldier looked and said: "Your grapes and cologne cured me.** And so it va* i highest, and on earth peace, good-will to men." Again, I have to tell you t h a t it is a woman's specific right to comfort under the stress of dire disaster. She is called the weaker vessel; but all profane as well as sacred history attests that when the crisis comes she U better prepared than man to meet the emergency. How often have you seen a woman who seemed to be a disciple of frivolity and indolence, who, under one stroke cf calamity, changed to a heroine? Oh, what a great mistako those business men make who never tell their business troubles to their wives! There comes some great IOBS to their store, or their companions in business play them a sad trick, and they carry the burden all alone. He is asked in the household again and again: "What is the m a t t e r ? " But he believes it a sort of Christian duty to keep all that trouble within his own soul. Oh, sir! your first duty was to tell your wife all about it. She, perhaps, might not have disentangled your finances, or extended your credit, but she would have helped you t o bear misfortune. You have no right t\> carry on one shoulder t h a t which is Intended for two. Business men know what I mean. There came a crisis in your affairs. You struggled bravely and long; but aftei- a while there came a day when you said: "Here I shall have to stop," and you called In your partners, and you called in the most prominent men in your employ, and you said: " W e have got to stop." You left the store suddenly. You could hardly make up your mlad to pass through the street and over on the ferry-boat. Y o u fe\t everybody would be looking at you, and blaming you, and denouncing you. You hastened home. You told your wife all about the affair. What <?Id i h e say? Did she play the butterfly?

No chiding; no fretting; no telling you about the back to God. I' may stand here and say the soul is immortal. There is a man who will deny it. I may stand here and say we are lost and undone without Christ. There is a man who will contradict It. I may titand here and say there will be a judgment day after a while. Yonder is some one who will dispute it. But a Christian woman in a Christian household, living in the faith and the consistency of Christ's gospel—nobody can refute that. The greatest sermons are not preached on celebrated platforms; they are preached with an audience of two or three, and in private home life. A consistent, consecrated Christian service Is an unanswerable demonstration of God's truth. * * * Lastly, I wish to say t h a t one of the specific rights of woman Is, through the grace of Christ, finally to reach heaven. Oh, what a multitude of women ia heaven! Mary, Christ's mother, in heaven! Elizabeth Fry In heaven! Charlotte Elizabeth in heaven! The mother of Augustine in heaven! The Countess of Huntington—who cold her splendid jewels to build chapels—in heaved!

I want you to realize this morning t h a t he is now making it, and whenever you weep a tear he sets' another gem in that crown; whenever you have a pang of body or soul he puts another gem in that crown, until, after a while in all the tiara there will be no room for another splendor, and Giod will say to his angel: "The crown is done; let her up, that she may wear it." And as the Lord of Righteousness puts the orown upon your brow, angel will cry to angel. "Who is 6he?" and Christ v/ill say, "I made white in the blood of the Lamb." And then God will thread a banquet and ho wHl invite ali the principalities of heaven to sit at the feast, and the tables will blush with the best clusters from the vineyards of God and crimson with the twelve manner of fruits from the Tree of Life, and waters from the fountains of the rock will flash from the golden tankards, and the old harpers of heaven will alt there, making music with their harps, and Chriat will point you out, amid the celebrities of heaven, saying, "Shv Buffered with me on earth; uow we aro going to be glorified together."

THE WIFE AND THE STKANGE WOMAN. Arthur Sanger was head clerk in a dry goods store, Clara Heartly worked In a- tailor's shop. She had a pretty face, winning ways, and a loving, trusting little heart; so, when after .a few weeks' acquaintance, Arthur Sanger asked her to be his wife, she smiled and blushed charmingly, and soon afte;r she became Mrs. Sanger. The first bit of sorrow Clara experienced after' her marriage was one morning when Arthur tenderly Inform? «d her that he should be obliged to go to New York on business for the Arm, and would be absent three whole days. It was a sad, gloomy time to poor Clara, but the three miserable days camo to, an eiul at last, and with a light heart she arrayed herself to go to the depot to meet her husband. He would not expect her. The train came puffing In. Clara was o few steps from the edge of the platform, when she saw Arthur alight and hold out his hand to assist a beautiful, dark-eyed lady down the steps, and what was her dismay, as she pressed her way through the crowd to greet him, to Bee him draw the lady's hand through his arm and hear him say in a low voice: "Pull down your veil, Alice, aud wa.'k deliberately through the depot." For a moment objects swam before Clara's eyes, but, lowering her own reil, she followed the couple out. She managed to keep them in sight until they entered the S.veeney hotel. Then, with a heart she thought was "breaking, she goes home, how, sat/ hardly knew. It was half an hour before Arthur came; and Clara had thought it all over, and resolved not to say one word about her being at the depot, and see if he would make any explanation. He returned her warm greeting in an affectionate, but absent way, not even noticing her pale cheeks and eyes red with weeping. The next- morning, after Arthur had eaten his breakfast, mechanically kissed her abstractedly, and gone to the store, Clara went up to Utr chamber, threw berself upon a lounge, and wished, oh, so fervently, that she might die, for if her husband was really un- CHARUE, MY DEAR BKOTHER! true to her she felt that life would be a burden, and she wanted to die now before any harsh or unkind words had passed between *hem. In the midst of her sad thoughts the bell rang and a moment after Bridget put her head in at the door, saying: "A gintleman to see yez, mum." "To see me? Didn't he say Mr. Sanger?" said Clara, raising her head wearily. "No, indade; he said Miss Sanger, as plain as the nose on my face." "Very well; show him into the par,- lor. I will be down directly." Wondering vaguely who it could be, she bathed her eyes, smoothed her hair and went down. As she entered the parlor a manly form rose and held out his arms toward her. One glance of delighted surprise and she sprang into them, sobbing, "Charlie, my dear, dear brother!" Sure enough, it was Charles Lansing, Clara's half-brother, who ran away from his stepfather four years before and had not been heard from since. . . After many eager questions and answers on both sides Charles took advantage of a slight pause and said; "Sister, something troubles you; you had been weeping when you came down, and your face is pale and sad. Won't you tell me all-about it?" Clara hesitated a moment, then, dropping her head on her brother's shoulder, she sobbed out the whole wretched, story. "Have you ever told him about me?" Charles asked, musingly, after she had finished. "No," answered Clara. "I thought you were dead and I could not bear to talk about you." "Then I have an idea," said Charles, "You introduce me as Mr, Lansing, an old friend. I will secure a room at the Sweeny, so as to watch proceedings there, and then we will have rides, walks, and a good time generally, and get him jealous if we can." Clara looked doubtful and asked, hesitatingly: "Will it be. right?" "Right!" echoed her brother; "of course it will, and when he sees fit to explain, you can. But raind you, I shall watch closely, and if I find he Is really untrue to you, you shan't live wlJi him another day." Mr. Sanger was of rather a jealous disposition, so when Clara at dinner presented Mr. Lansing with such a bright, happy look in her blue eyes, he felt a pang go through his heart, and he bowed quite coldly; and there was a freezing courtesy between the two gentlemen until Mr. Sanger went back to the store. Several days passed, and Charles and Clara took particular pains to go by the etore where Arthur worked whenever they were out together. * In the meantime Arthur grew sullen, ate his meals in savage silence, and several times went to the store without kissing Clara. Charles reported that Mr. Sanger called at the hotel every day and went up to room No. 10; but beyond No. 10 being occupied by a lady booked as Mrs. Alice Austin, he could learn nothing. We know not how maJteTS might have terminated had not the fire department just then given a ball, to bo held In the hall of the Sweeny hotel. • Arthur asked Clara, with something of his old tenderness, if she would like to go. She said "Yes," longing to throw herself into his arms, and dispel the dark cloud from his brow, by telling him that Charles was her brother; but the remembrance of that dark, beautiful face in the depot restrained her. As they entered the hall Clara saw Charles waltzing with a lady, and as they came nearer the dark eyes and lovely face that had haunted her, sleeping or waking, for the past week, looked up at her from her brother's shoulder. Arthur, too, saw the dancers, and with a dark scowl, he muttered: "Imprudent!" and "the rascal!" Clara saw a sign pass between her husband and the unknown fair one as soon as the dance was over, and the lady immediately went out on the piazza through a window, while Arthur excused himself and went out of the door. She knew they were intending to meet on the piazza, and, heartsick, she staggered through; there they stood, but a few feet from her, in the shadow of a trailing vine. "Alice," her husband was saying, "it was very Imprudent for you to come down to-night." "I know It," returned the woman with a sigh. After a pause she added: "How pretty your wife is, Arthur; I wonder you can spare a thought for poor me, when you have such a sweet little blossom at home." "I can love and care for you both," returned Arthur. The lady burst Into tears and leaned her head on Arthur's shoulder. "You are the only friend I have got, dear Arthur," she sobbed. A low, gasping cry burst from Clara's lips, and she sank back insensible into Charles' arms, for he had been standing just behind her. "Good heavens, Clara; what is the matter, darling?" exclaimed Arthur, s p r 1 n g fng~to war d~ht s wife. i4And yo ur villain," addressing Charles, "what right have you with her?" "A much better right than you have, fo« you have forfeited all claim to her," returned Charles, .indignantly, as he bore her to a piazza settee. Clara soon opened her eyes and murmured: "Please take me home, Charlie." "Clara, what does this mean?" asked Arthur, bending over her, almost sternly. "Oh, Arthur, I kagw all," she moaned. "Please go away and let me die." "I see their mistake, Arthur," said the strange lady. "Tell them, dear, that I am your sister whom you discarded several years ago for marrying a dissolute fellow, but-whom you have now taken pity on." "Your sister! Is she your sister, Arthur?" gasped Clara. "Yes, darling," returned Arthur, "I see now, I ought to have told you, but I wanted to wait until I got her a divorce." "Oh, my Heavenly Father, I thank thee!" breathed Clara, raising her beautiful eyes upward. Then turning with a bright smile she said: "And Charles is my brother, my dear halfbrother who I thought was dead." Arthur understood without asking why she did not tell him so before. The next day there was an account in the daily papers of the death of Ralph Austin in a drunken fight. So Alice was free without the aid of the law. A year glices by and'there is a quiet wedding at Arthur Sanger's. Alice Austin is the bride and Charles Lansing the bridegroom,—New York News. OUR BUDGET OP PUN." S O M E G O O D J O K E S .

ABMY- .HQRSES HARD TO C o l Purchasing Department Finds DltScuitj In Meeting t h e Requirements. The entire northwest Is* being ransavked by agents of the war department in quest of horsed suitable for the cavalry and artillery of the army. The horses procured are for the mos! part brought to Chicago, where the> are inspected, and then distributed wherever there is need of them. Among the requirements are the color of the animal, its weight and its height. The owner must stand the expense of having the two front shoes removed, furnish a haiter and have the animal weighed. "It would require the animals to be molded," said a horse trader at the stockyards. "As yet there are few horses that we have received that come up to the requirements of the order, and an owner having a horse that would answer the style that is wanted by the army demands a larger price than the government offers to pay." The local horsemen state that the government will have to make some allowance on the order or it will not get the requisite number from this territory. Horses are being secured that will come up to the requirements in many respects, but it Is feared that they will be turned down by the government buyer the same as they were last year. —Chicago Chronicle.

I looked away hastily out of the window at the organ-man and his monkey and the growing troop oX ragged children. "Oh, It was nothing!" I returned hurriedly. "Something vexed me. It •was nothing—not important." It surprised me that he did not urge me any further. He sat regarding me gravely and thoughtfully. There was something of anxiety in his eyes when ing crimson, and that two pairs of eyes were watching me. "Is that true?" he asked. "Mamma says so. For some newly arisen and mysterious reason, Mr. Mortimer, Kitty is to blossom forth at once into a grown-up lady—aren't you, Kitty? She's to turn up her hair and learn how to make jams Instead of Latin prcae, Mamma, you must know, awoke this morning—or, rather, this afternoon—in a mo3t astonishingly domestic mood. She descended upon us in our sitting-room and took our breath away. What do you think she said?" "Meg, don't!" I cried helplessly. "Mr. Mortimer doesn't want to hear." "On the contrary, he's looking most eager," said Meg, provokingly calm. "From all we could gather, Mr. Mortimer, Kitty's to renounce the higher education and take to ladylike accorSplishments— Jam making and the putting of feathers into her hats. Now, what would you say was going to happen? You don't know, of course?" "I wish I did!" "Kitty, you know, was destined for a governess " , "I'm to be a governess still," I interposed. "The plan isn't changed; nothing could change it. I want to be a governess!" "You want to be a governess?" repeated Mr. Mortimer slowly, in a somewhat puzzled tone. Well might he be puzzled! Times beyond number I had confided to him my utter detestation of the post of preceptress—told him I would rather sweep rooms, make match boxes, sell apples at street corners— do anything! Nevertheless—— "I shall love to be a governess!" I declared, with steady decision. , < * - \ ^ * V *» ^/vs>» I BOWED MY HEAD LOWER OVER MY WORK. I turned my head again and surprised his glance. "Oh, Mr. Mortimerr The exclamation came from the doorway. Meg stood there, her hand on the door, and looked in a»d hesitated, evidently trying desperately to think of some excuse for hastily retreating. As John Mortimer rose and went to meet her, she came in reluctantly, looking at lilm with a half-deprecating, halflaughing glance, her blue eyes twinkling even as she mutely apologized. She stood in the middle of the room for a minute, as though hesitating whether to go or stay. She took off her pretty, shady straw hat, and shook her hair free into loose, airy, pretty waves and curls; then suddenly she banished the thought of retreating, sat down beside me on the sofa and gave herself up to the pastime of tormenting us. Bending forward a little, with one elbow on her knee, and her pretty chin on her little pink palm, she could face us both. Now her eyes glanced mischievously into mine, now #uddenly, with a swift smile, into his. And how bewitchlngly pretty she looked all the while! I found myself wondering with a sudden eagerness, and a strange sickness of heart, what John Mortimer thought of her prettinesi. "Kitty's to leave school, Mr. Mortimer," she told him presently, in an admirably simple, natural tone. "Did yon know?" I bowed my head lower over my •Tork.ooMcious that my fact was grtw" Kitty—my dear, dear Kitty! expostulated Meg. "I shall love it!" I repeated, with de fiance. CHAPTER IV. Looking up, I found John Mortimer's eyea still fixed upon me with a steady glance, half puzzled, half troubled. He made a hasty, resolute attempt to change the conversation, and succeeded; in a few minutes Meg was gaily describing our plans for summer holidays in August. She had forgotten me and the pleasure of tormenting me. "We are going to Cornwall." and she sighed. "Cornwall's quiet—that suits father; and Cornwall's cheap—that suits mamma. It doesn't suit us at all. Dora and I hate hills and cliffs; we like promenades and bands and tennis. It's a frivolous thing to confess— we don't care! We detest cheap places, and, if there's one thing worse than a cheap., .place, ilia., a qui«t place1 you also coming to Cornwall, Mr. Mortimer?" "No; I am going to Brittany, if my present plans hold good." "That's where yjnr sister lives?" "Yes." "I don't think I would go to Brittany to see my sister If I were you." "Why not?" "Ob, she don't deserve i t I don't like your als|*r, Mr. Mortlmerr-you don't mind my iWing so, do you?" Mr. Mortimer smiled quickly, yet half reluctantly. j "How did yon come to know my »Jster?" he asked. "I don't know her; I don't want to know her—I don't like her! I read an article of hara once in one of the dull magazines—the magazines that father takes in. It was on 'Girls of the Nineteenth Century.' I dare say it was very clever-^I know it was very horrid, sarcastic, superior, rhatefult She was a 'girl of the nineteenth century' herself once, I suppose, once—or is she nearly ninety?" "She is just thirty-six, Miss Meg." "Poor thing!" We both laughed at the long-drawnout pity of Meg's tone, "At thirty-six I can imagine that on? may feel a hundred!" she said feeling ly. "Still one may feel a hundred without feeling so superior about it. Father gave me the article to read; he thought it would do me good, and it didn't!" "No; you don't seem to have been benefited, I confess." "It only made me rejoice to think that I lived in the nineteenth century. Girls in the last century were much less frivolous, as well as less Independent; they thought less about their hats and dresses—made their things last—• spoke when they were spoken to, and were altogether models of correct deportment. Well, I'm glad I wasn't a last century girl! Besides, I haven't the least bit of a wish in the world to be dead and buried! I'm glad your sister lives in Brittany! Brittany's a good long way off. If she lived in London I suppose we should have to know her?" "You will be sorry to hear, Miss Meg, that I believe she is thinking of coming to London." "Oh! To live?" "Yes—I think so. She went to Brittany ten years ago to live with a very deu* friend of hers, who married and settled there. Her friend, Madame Arnaud, is a widow now; there is nothing to keep them in Brittany any longer. They are coming to England in September—indeed, I am going abroad now to help them to settle their affairs before they leave." Meg was tapping the ground softly with her little pointed shoe, and looking down at it with an absorbed, puzzled air, her brows knit in thought. "Madame Arnaud — Madame Arnaud!" she repeated. "I have heard of Madame Arnaud!" He did not offer to quicken her memory. It seemed to me that an expression of annoyance crossed iiis face. "What is it that I have heard? I can't remember," said Meg, raising her eyes and appealing to him. There was a distinct note of impatience in his grave tone as he answer ed ' h e r . - — - — "I am sure I can not say. Whatever you have heard must have been in her praise—that one may safely affirm!" Meg made a little gesture of disda.A. " "Ttrnr-iioes-Mre—beteag—to~thi& cen^ tury?" she as><<ed, after a pause, her blue eyes looking at him seriously. "Yes—she belongs to this century," he said, smiling. But again, in spite of his smile, it struck me that the conversation vexed him. He was impatient, not at ease. I had not spoken, but now I felt a sudden need to ask one question—the same question which indirectly Meg had asked. "Is she young?" I asked quickly, looking at him. "Not what you would call young, Kitty," he returned gently, in a different tone. "She is 30—perhaps a little more than 30. I have not seen much of her these last ten years, but I saw her for an hour or two last summer; she was as young then as she was at 20. She is one of those wome:i who will never grow old. When she comes to London, Kitty, you must know her. You and she will be good friends—I think so." "I don't envy Kitty," said Meg, la a stage whisper to her pointed toe. "Is she a French woman?" she asked in a different tone, looking up again. "No—English." "And she married a Frenchman," said Meg. "How horrid! Was he like the Frenchman one sees upon the stage—always rubbing his hands and bowing? Why did she marry him?" "Because she loved him, I suppose. I never asked her." "Then why assume that it was love? Very few people marry for love—except in books—or so mamma says. Not that mamma's opinion Is worth much; it's her opinion that our dresses should last two summers, and that the, second summer, if we look guys, we should be contented. All the same, all people don't marry for love—for lnataav^ I hf>nri^ ,tftf1ay^Tf"Trps;Tf>n ^vho thinks of marrying for a very different motive." He showed no enrios'ty, nor did he chow much signs of confusion. Perhaps he had4 not heard what Meg said. He did not seem, indeed, to be heedtog her; he was rising now t o go. "If one wanted to fall in love," said Meg, "one would never choose a Frenchman. Madame Arnaud—Madame Araasd? I wonder where I have beard and what I nave heard of Madame Arnaud." (To be continued.) The Lord baa Advised Knigtr to Fight. A Cape Town correspondent says: Persons enjoying the confidence of the Transvaal government assures tbe Transvaal that a fire-year franchise would secure peace, the other questions being dealt with by the reformed re* public gradually or by arbitration, all existing difficulties will disappear. A -friend of President Kruger at Cape Town recently received a letter fitating that the president prayed three hours tbe other night and afterwards said he was perfectly happy. The Lord had told him to fight and he was not afraid of Chamberlain. Already to Fight. A committee of squatters on the Maxwell land grant in Colorado on the 26th met the posse of the deputy United States marshals sent from Denver to evict them from the lands they have occupied at the mouth of the Stonewall valley. The "officers were informed that two or three of their number could proceed and serve the writs of ejectment but that the posse must go no further. The settlers are organized and well armed and apparently mean business. The deputies have camped where they were stopped and are waiting instructions from the marshal's office in Denver.

The Samoan situation is regarded by officials at Washington as much more menacing, because of the numerous reports, particularly those from German sources, that the Mataafa natives are growing restive and are being incited to another rebellion. There has been no official verification of these reports, but officials acquainted with affairs there and in possession of the latest information credit the reports and say there are indications that further trouble is brewing.

Joined Together 'Let Not Man Put A*nnder" Few girls practice economy a3 faithfully as they do the piano. Character is the only reliable certificate issued by the school of life. The average man is polite to a lot of other men he wou.d rather kick. The stage prompter might be appropriately termed a theatrical poster. Nickel trimmings on a stove are a source of much heat—to some people. The eagle on the silver dollar is merely to remind us that riches have wings. There is much difference between boasting of sickness and glorying in wounds. , 4 Matt. 19: 0— Skeleton* AU Over Home a» Well a* In the Cioee$. tUe Many a man who would shrink from taking a purse for profit will steal a character for pleasure. One great consolation is peculiarly the humorists—he isn't supposed to laugh at his productions. France lost her head over the Dreyfus case and other nations seem to be doing the same thing, but in a different way. The popularity of summer boat excursions is conclusive proof that men can have a good time on water occasionally. A young man named Quitman has been arrested because he refused to discontinue his unreciprocated atten- That there are hundreds and thousands of infelicitous home In America no one will doubt. If there were only one skeleton in the closet, that might be locked up and abandoned; but in many a home there is a skeleton in the hallway and a skeleton, la ail the apartments. "Unhappily married" are two words descriptive of many ft homestead. It needs no orthodox minister to prove to a badly mated pair thai there is a hell; they are there now. Sometimes a grand and gracious woman will be thus incarcerated, and her life will be a crucifixion, as was the case with Mrs. Sigourney, the great poetess and the great soul. Sometimes a consecrated man will be united to a fury> as was John Wesley, or united to a vixen, as was John Milton. Sometimes, and generally, both parties are to blame, and Thomas Carlyle is an intolerable grumbler, and his wife has a pungent retort always ready, and Froude, the historian, pledged to tell the plain truth, has to pull aside the curtain from the lifelong squabble at Craigenputtock and 5 Cheyne row. Some say that for the alleviation of all these domestic disorders of which we hear, easy divorce is a good prescription. God sometimes authorizes divorce as certainly as he authorizes marriage. I have just as much regard for one lawfully divorced as I have for one lawfully married. But you know and I know that wholesale divorce is one of our national scourges. I am not surprised at this when I think of the influences which have been abroad militating against the marriage relation. For many years the platforms .."Automobile" Is "indeed a mongrel •word, half Greek. haff'T.atin, but having come into general use, it has gained nine points of the law. and may be tions to a fair lady.

There were meetings of this kind held in the Academy of Music, Brooklyn; Cooper institute, New York; Tremont temple, Boston, and all over the land.

A Freuchman once classified Americans in Europe as "millionaires, snobs and tourists. The millionaires spent their money freely, and sometimes sacrificed their daughter* for title. The, snobs were ashamed of their own country and eager to be known as the companions cf princes, dukes and earls. The tourists were a mob of sightseers, out of whom money was to be made at every turn." A satirical grouping, based opon sufficient truth to somewhat disturb national pride! A new international question lias been raised by recent antics of the Rio Grande river in changing its course. The river formerly flowed within a few yards of Fort Ringgold, Texas, but has forsaken its old channel and made a new one a mile southeast, entirely in Mexican territory. A treaty with Mexico, made in 1884, provides that the abandonment of an existing bed by the river and the formation of a new one shall not effect a change of the boundary. But as Fort Ringgold depended entirely on the Rio Grande for j its water supply, and as the United States requires a military post there, the matter has been referred to the international boundary commission for settlement The greatest result of the recent Buffalo conference of social reformers 'was the raising of 514,000 toward the establishment of a school of economics. It-is proposed .to create a committee of well-known gentlemen, who will undertake to secure pledges of $20,000 a year for two years. The first work to be attempted will be the prosecution of researches into price movements as related to money, trusts, tariffs, etc.; changes in wages and the number of the unemployed from time to time; and the result of the varlouE attempts of local and national authorities in this and other countries to regulate and to operate such monopolies as electric light, gas, street railways, telephones, railroads, telegraphs, the express business, etc. The co-operation of public libraries will be sought, and assurances have already been received that press associations reaching millions of readers will be glad to publish any results of these investigations. It is expected to establish a large correspondence department, furnish lecturers, at small charge abore traveling expenses for schools, colleges and eitension centers, conduct a summer school, and later, If funds shall be •ufflcient, instruction will be given during the -winter month*. The headquarters of this school will probably be fa New* York or Boston, tout a branch. at laai i s CaJcata Prominent speakers were women* with *hort curls and short dress and very long tongue, everlastingly at war with God because they were created women; while on the platform sat meek mea with soft accent and cowed demeanor, apologetic for masculinity, and holding the parasols while the termagant orators went on preaching the gospel of free love. That campaign of about twenty years set more devils into the marriage relation than will be exorcised in the next fifty. Men and women went home from such meetings so permanently confused as to who were their wives and husbands that they never got out of the perplexity, and the criminal and the civil courts tried to disentangle the Iliad of woee, and this one got alimony, and that one got a limited divorce, and this mother kept the children on condition that the father could sometimes come and look at tnem, and these went into poorhouses, and those went into insane asylums, and those went into dissolute public life, and all went to destruction. The mightiest war ever made against the marriage institution was that free-love campaign, sometimes under one name and sometimes under another. Another influence that has warred upon the marriage relation has been polygamy in Utah. That is a stereotyped caricature of the marriage relation, and has poisoned the whole land. You might as well think that you can t have an arm m a state of mortification and yet the whole body not be sickened, aa to have any territories or states polygamized and yet the body of the nation not feel the putrefaction. Hear it, good men and women of America, that so long ago as 1862 a law was passed by congress forbidding l n the marriage relation gets dissatispolygrtmy in the territories and in all the places where they had Jurisdiction. Thirty-seven years have passed along and nine administrations. Yet not until the passage ot the Edmunds law in 1882 was any active policy of polygamic suppression adopted. Armed with all the power of government, and having an army at their disposal, the first brick had not till then beea knocked from that fortress of libertinism. Every new president in his inaugural tickled that monster with the straw of condemnation, and every congress stultified itself in proposing some plan that would lot work. Polygamy stood in Utah and in other of the territories, more entrenched, more tinuen, more puissant, more bragart and more Internal than at any time in its history. James Buchanan, a much-abused man of his day, did more for. the extirpation of this villainy than all the subsequent administrations dared to do «u to 1882. Mr. Buchanan send out an army, and although it was halted in its work, still he accomplished more thaa«tke E»en at this lata day, and with the, Edmunds act in force, the evil has not been wholly extirpated. Polygamy ln Utah, though outlawed, is still practiced in secret. It has warred against the marriage relation throughout the land, it is impossible to have such an awful sewer of iniquity sending up its miasma, which is wafted by the winds nqrth, south, eaet, and west, without the whole land being affected by It. Another influence that has warred against the marriage relation in this country has been a pustulous literature, with its millions of sheets every week choked with stories of domestic wrongs, and infidelities, and massacres, and outrages, until It Is a wonder to me that there are any decencies or any common sense left on the subject of marriage. One-half of the news stands of our great cities reek with the filth. "Now," say some, "we admit all these evils, and the only way to clear them out or to correct them is by easy divorce." Well, before we yield to that cry, let us find out how easy it is now. I have looked over the laws of all the states, and I find that while in some states it is easier than in others, in every state a is easy. The state of Illinois, through its legislature, recites a long list of proper causes for divorce, and then closes up by giving to the courts the right to make a decree of divorce in any case where they deem it expeu.ent. After that you are not surprised at the announcement that in one county of the state of Illinois, in one year, there were 833 divorces. If you want to know how easy it is, you have only to look over the records of the states. In Massachusetts, GOO divorces in one year; in Maine, 478 in one year; in Connecticut, 401 divorces in one year; in the city of San Francisco, 333 divorces in one year; in New England, in one year, 2,113 divorces, and in twenty years in New England, 20,000. Is that not easy enough? If the same ratio continue, the ratio of multiplied divorce and multiplied causes of divorce, we are not far from the time when our courts will have to set apart whole days for application, and all you wi'i nave to prove against a man will be that he left his slippers in the middie of the floor, and all you will have to prove against a woman will be that her husband's overcoat was buttonless. Causes of divorce doubled in a few years, doubled in France, doubled in England, and doubled in the United States. To show how very easy it is, I have to tell you that in Western Reserve, Ohio, iue proportion of? divorces to marriages celebrated was in one year one to eleven; in Rhode Island, one to thirteen; in Vermont, one to fourteen. Is not that easy enough? I want you to notice that frequency of divorce always goes along with the dissoluteness of society. Rome for 500 years had not one case of divorce. Those were her days of glory and virtue. Then the reign of vice began, and divorce became "epidermic. If you" want to know how rapidly the empire went down, ask Gibbon. Do you know how the Reign of Terror was Introduced in France? By 20,000 cases of divorce in one year in Paris. What we want in this country, and in all lands, Is that divorce be made more and more difficult. Then people before they enter that relation will be persuaded that there will probably be no escape from it, except through the door of the sepulchre. Then they will pause on the verge of that relation, until they are fully satisfied that it is best, and that it is right, and that it is happiest. Then we shall have no more marriages in fun. Then men and women will not enter the relation with the idea it is only a trial trip, and if they do not like Ir. they can get out at the first landing, i hen this whole question will be taiten out of the frivolous into the tremendous, and there will be no more joking about the blosoms in a bride's hair than about the cypress on a coffin. What we want, is that the congress of the United States move for the changing the national constitution so that a law can be passed which shall be uniform all over the country, and what shall be right in one state shall be right in all the states, and what is wrong in one state will be wrong in all the states. How is it now? If a party Pm.W.epd.tP. D p k e j W 'A.WttVtfA That will send drvorco lawyers Into a decent business. That will set people agitated for many years on the question of how they shall get away from each other to. planning, how tfcey can adjust themselves to the more or lesB unfavorable circumstances. More difficult divorce will put an estoppal to a great extent upon marriage as a financial speculation. Thers are men who go into the relation just as they go into Wall street to purchase shares. The female to be invited into the partnership of wedlock is utterly unattractive, and in disposition a suppressed Vesuvius. Everybody knows it, but this masculine candidate for matrimonial orders, through the commercial agency or through the country records, finds out how much estate is to be inherited, and he calculates i t He thinks out how long it will be before the old man will die, and whether he can stand the refractory temper until he does die, and then he enters the relation; for he says, "If I cannot stand it, then through the divorce law I will back out." That process is going on all the time, and men enter intq the relation without any moral prin* ciple, without any affection, and it is as much a matter of stock speculation as anything that was transacted yesterday in Union Pacific, Wubash, and Delaware and Lackawanna. Now, suppose a man understood, as he ought to understand, that if he goes into that relation there is no possibility of his getting out, or no probability, he would bevmore slow to put his neck in the yoke. He should say to himself, "Rather than a Caribbean whirlwind with a whole fleet of shipping in its arms, give me a zephyr off fields of sunshine and gardens of peace." Rigorous divorce law will also hinder women from the fatal mistake of marrying men to reform them. If a young man, by 25 years of age or 30 years of age, have the habit of strong drink fixed on him, he is as certainly bound for a drunkard's grave as that a train starting out from Grand Central depot at 8 o'clock tomorrow morning is bound for Albany. The train may not reach Albany, for it may be thrown from the track. The young man may not reach a drunkard's grave, for something may throw him off the iron track of evil habit/but the probability is that the train that starts tomorrow morning at 8 o'clock for Albany will get there, and the probability is that the young man who has the habit of strong drink fixed on him before 25 or 30 years of age will arrive at a drunkard's grave. She knows he drinks, although he tries to bide it by chewing cloves. Everybody knows he drinks. Parents warn, neighbors and friends warn. She will marry him; she will reform him. If she is unsuccessful in the experiment, why then the divorce law will emancipate her, because habitual drunkenness is a cause for divorce in" Indiana. Kentucky, Florida. Connecticut and nearly all the states. So the poor thing goes to the altar-of sacrifice. If you will show me the poverty- struck streets in any city, I will show you the homes of the women who married men to reform them. In one case out of ten thousand it may be a successful experiment. I never saw the successful experiment. But have a rigorous divorce law and that woman will say: "If I am affianced to that man it is for life, and if now in the ardor of his young love, and I the prize to be won, he will not give up his cups, when he has won the prize surely he will not give up his cups." And so that woman will say to the man: "No, sir, you are already married to the club, and you are married to that evil habit, and so you are married twice, and you are a bigamist. Go!" HO!

So wo rodu into Pueblo and thence by the Denver and Rio Grande road to Denver, a fair city with all the comforts and handsome buildings of her older sisters ot tho East and lying in an altitude far above the air we breathe in our homes, a gem in an emerald setting of never yielding mountain heights. Continuing our journey over the Denver and Rio Grande and the Rio Grande Western roads we started for Salt I^ke City, the capitol of the new slate, which has been aptly termed the "Mountain Walled 1'iea.sury of the Gods.' And thus we are permitted to pass through the most varied and entrancing scenery of the Rocky Mountains and to witness the wonders of the Royal Gorge, where the cunning of man has overcome the difficulties presented by Nature in her efforts at the grotesque and the sublime. These chained out attention and drew breathless expressions, especially when crossing some chasm on an almost fmpossible bridge structure with a roaring brawling stream beneath us. It is Inspiring and grand every foot of the way to Salids and from there many other decided attractions we visited. Perhaps that which will most interest a large number of my fellow carriers is Marshall's Pass, that marvr;lou3 testimonial % to American engineering skill. As the altitude grows greater the view becomes le33 obstructed. Milea of cone-shaped summits are in View. We are in and above the home of th© clouds.

Dr. Somebody a few days or weeks afterward introduced into a new marriage relation a member of the household who went off on a pleasure excurEion to Newport or a business excurt-on to Chicago. Married at the bride's house. No cards. There are states of the union which practically put a premium upon the disintegration of the marriage relation, while there are other states, like the state of New York, which has tha preeminent idiocy of making marriage lawful at 12 and 14 years of age. The congress of the United States needs to move for a change of the national constitution, and then to appoint a committee—not made up of single gentlemen, hut of men of families, and their families in Washington —who shall prepare a good, honest, righteous, comprehensive uniform law that will control everything from Sandy Hook to Ooldtn Data, That will How They Bewarded Madam* 8t«r'Jn* Madame Antoinette Sterling, the contralto singer and evangelist, had an experience in the Bombay presidency, India, which is as quaint as any of Kipling's tales of the hills. She was campaigning with Pundita Ramabai, and through her magnificent voice was drawing thousands of natives to her meetings. They had never seen that kind of a missionery before, and had never heard a voice like hers. They were so pleased wjth her work that they said to themselves: "This lc a foreign womau guru, and for fear of giving offense to us she has omitted to put her begging-bowl outside of her door for us to put ln the customary contributions." In India, every guru or holy person carries a brass, wood or clay begging-bawl into which the devout put some small sum cf monoy. Madame Sterling walked out upon the veranda of her bungalow one morning, and there, to her amazement, found two begging-bowls. One, a little one, with a lew annas in it intended for tho Pundlta, and one, an enormous affair, containing a handsome sum of annas and rupees for herself. The only explanation she could ever Extract from the servant was ^his: '^Little b o w l - little money for the little Pundita with little voice. Big bowl—Wg money for big Mlssahlb with big voice.** Madame Sterling was one of the principal speakers among tho American women at the International council recently held in London. had of the Sangre de Christo ranges The pass is a scenic and scientific wonder; grades of 211 feet to the mile nre frequent.

Ahead of Schedule Time—Plan* Are MajraiUeent —Large Attendance Certain* New York, Sept. 26.—Much to the surprise of everyone in the city the Olympia, with Admiral Dewey on board, arrived off the Sandy Hook lightship at 5:55 this morning. There was a heavy mist on the sea, and at LADY per month salarf, and. «U *tMB»e«. ZixoxxaCo. TirMoaoa Bldf.C&taoju ADMIRAL GEORGE DEWEY. first the marine observers were inclined to think the vessel sighted might be Rear Admiral Howison's flagship, the Chicago, hardly believing Admiral Dewey would arrive two days ahead of time. The doubt was soon cleared away, however, and as passing vessels recognized the flagship from Manila bay there was a continuous blowing of whistles in salute. The Olympia sailed from Gibraltar Sept. 10. One of the first large vessels to sight the Olympia was the passenger steamer Sandy Hook of the Sandy Hook line, which left Atlantic Highlands shortly after 7-o'clock for her New York dock. Just as she got well under way a war vessel was seen through the fog, and passengers and crew, headed by the Sandy Hook's captain, gathered at the rail to read the newcomer's name. To get near enough to do this the Sandy Hook changed her course--and headed directly for the 01ympia,H»k>wing, her whistle in, salute as she d^L, so. As soon as the name was made out the Sandy Hook's passengers che/ered with all their might, and in a few moments an answering cheer came over the water from the warship's sailors, many of whom were gathered on deck. The flagship rame up to the lower hay and anchored inside Sandy Hook. As soon as the anchor was dropped an orderly was sent ashore with dispatches from the admiral and other officers. He said the ship had h a d . a pleasant trip across the Atlantic and that all on board were well and glad to be home again. The Olympiads crew was put to work immediately cleaning ship. Many small vessels are sailing around her and their number is being augmented constantly. The admiral's early arrival was a matter of great concern to the city authorities who are arranging for New York's official welcome. Secretary Foster of the reception committee went to the city hall early and at once issued a call fee a special meeting of the committee. Mr. Foster said he could not forecast the committee's action, but he thought it probable the committee would go down to the Olympia at once and meet the admiral. Mayor Van Wyck hurried to his office where he found the following telegram: "Olympia arrived this morning. Will go to Tompkinsville tomorrow. "GEORGE DEWEY." The mayor advised the calling together of all the city's committees, and telegrams were sent out calling on the members of the plan and scope committee and the various sub-committees to meet as quickly as possible at the city hall. St. Clair McKelway. the chairman of the sub-committee of the reception committee, was the first to orrU-e. Mr. MoKelway thought the reception committee would wait on Admiral Dtwejr tomorrow, instead of on Thursday, and that the admiral wojiid remain a t the anchorage 0 f Tompkinsville until Friday. Then tne regular reception would take place Friday and Saturday, according to the city's program. The Sandy Hook steamer Monrr.outh passed the u.ympia early this morning arid those on board of her werV the first to see Admiral Dewey. One of the Monmouth's passengers said: "We saw Admiral Dewey quite plainly. He stood alone on the quarterdeck of the warship. Fifteen feet behind him stood eight of his officers in uniform. The admiral alone of all men on board ship acknowledged the cheers of the passenaers and crew of the Monmouth. He raised his hat continually, bowing and smiling. The snip looked in fine trim, contldering her long voyage, but the exterior of her hull was seamed with rusty streaks." Today for the first time in many years an admiral's salute was fired in New York bay. Fort Hancock saluted with seventeen guns when the Olympia passed, coming in. There was no demonstration of an official character in Rear Admiral Sampson's fleet off Tompkinsville when the news of the Olympia's arrival was received. Signals announcing Dewey's arrival were hoisted, and there was considerable cheering, which, although a violation of the strict rules and regulations of the navy, was not officially noticed by the commanding officers. It had been planned that one of the fleet, probably the Texas, would go down to the Hook and escort the admiral's flagship to her anchorage inside the Hook, but, of course, this plan had to be abandoned. There will be no action taken by Rear Admiral Sampson in the matter of saluting Admiral Dewey until the Olympia reacm.es the upper bay tomorrow. When the Olympia reaches the upper bay Admiral Dewey will find that the quarantine station will be decorated with 1,500 red, white and blue electric lights. On the terrace are letters nine feet hish, spelling "Welcome home." They are set against a natural background of green, and show white in the day time and will be lighted with electricity at night. When the Olympia, on t h e d a y of the Dewey naval parade, rounds the stake boat in North river, the school ship St. Mary's, the boys wearing their white working suits, will man the yards in the saluting custom which obtained when Dewey was a junior officer. This, it is believed, will recall pleasant memories to the admiral and will make a display that is novel in these days of steel ships with masts that are only used for military purposes. Greater New York is rapidly giving up every other consideration save that of Admiral Dewey. From ceuter to circumference the city is bright with flags. The principal thoroughfares are league-long flames lit by myriads of patriotic hands. Fifth avenue, the modern Appian way, along which there pours the city's tide of wealth, flashes with color from end to end. With a patriotism not less true or hearts less loyal the people of the tenej ments flutter their bunting, faded and ! bedraggled though it be, but slgnify- ] ing everything in the way of genuino enthusiasm. Altogether the present week will witness a demonstration of national estsem such as this country never sawbefore. Six times within the memory of living man this city has been draped I in honor of its heroes. Theee six oej casions have been occasions of national mourning. Adams, Monroe, Clay, Lin- | coin, Garfield and Grant form this i galaxy of great dead. On that sad : spring day fourteen years ago, when i the cortege of the hero of Appomatox I rolled up Broadway at the head of his j old regiments, the great thoroughfare was black—deeply and funerally black —like the bed of a Styx gone dry. Here 1 and there were flashes of color, here and there a blending of flags and crape, but the general tone was that of a deep and unutterable woe. How different is this magnificent reception to be tendered to a living hero. In all the ocean of bunting between the Battery and the Bronx there is no hint of sadnes*. The mothers and sisters and sweethearts and wives of the dead men in Cuba and Luzon are among those who will cheer I he returning hero. One million visitors are already here, and every incoming train on every road is crowded with passengers. It is expected that on parade day 2,000,- 000 spectators will be gathered along the line of march. It will be the largest crowd ever gathered together in the i history of the country. Gen. Howard has announced that the following organizations of veteians will be in his division: The Duryea zouaves, the One Hundred and Sixtyfifth New York regiment, the Eleventh regiment. Veteran association, the "Old Fighting Fifth" New York heavy artillery, the First regiment of mounted veterans and 250 members of the New York Sons of Veterans. The reception committee has established the final order of precedence. Admiral Schley will be in a carriage back with the visitors. Admiral Samp* Bon will come well up to the head of the naval officers' section, a great distance ahead of Schley, who is to be pre<iedeU'by" the naval officers, Gen. Miles, Gen. Merritt and others.

A Bold aad l>«rlnff Attempt at Jail De- Uve>ry f t Kalaa**zoo w»» Discovered by OMclala 1* t b * Nick of Time — Wardea Maru'i Heport tor September an Darta* Attempt at Jalt Delivery. A must d a r i n g a t t e m p t at jail delive r y w a s discovered at Kalamazoo on t h e 2d. The prisoners in the cage had literally torn it t o pieces and were a w a i t i n g a chance for a suitable opportunity to escape. By means of wrenches and saws the big iron bar t h a t releases the door to t h e cell and o t h e r bars had been loosened and fastened up with wires. The large steel hinge three inches wide, had been pried and broken by use of one of the b i g steel bars previously loosened. The prisoners had t h e cage so well wrecked t h a t when t h e suitable time arrived they could, by loosening a few small wires, open i b e cage and walk out. Then they would have very quickly made their escape from the interior of t h e jail by means of t h e iron bars. The men in the cage were L i r r y Spellman, awaitiug trial for the Richland bank robbery; Holsinger, sentenced last week to Jackson for burglary; John Thompson, alleged horse thief, and F r a n k Webb, charged with trying to get books c o n t a i n i n g saws and files to Slater and Allison, Richland bank robbers. . ^. Gam* Warden'* Report for September. Game Warden Morse reports that t h e work of his department last month was confined to a general enforcement of the game and fish laws, including a second inspection of t h e commercial fisheries. With very few exceptions t h e commercial fisheries were found to be closely conforming to the law, both as regards the size of the mesh and the retention of immature fish, thy decrease in the number and extent of the seizures proving this. The total number of cases investigated during the month was 1GJ. There were US prosecutions commenced. These resulted in 54 convictions, t w o acquittals, throe dismissals, while 159 cases are pending.-. The total amount of fines and costs imposed was $78:1.05, aud the.value of the fish and nets seized 530J.28. Fortyseven of the cases for violation of the game laws and ~A for violations of the fish laws. flames Responsible far Deficiency. In the opinions filed by the supremo court on the 3d was one of great importance to persons interested in the O. M. Karnes failure in 1893. Mr. Barnes was largely interested in the j Lansing "Lumber company, aud, in the i litigation which followed his failure and the appointment of the Michigan Trust company as a receiver for the lumber company. Mr. Barnes, in the Ingham county circuit, was released from any personal liability on the socalled "A" bonds, issued by the lumber company. T h e supreme court reverses this decision and holds Mr. •ltarnes responsible for aoy deficiency. Something like f400,000 is involved. The trust company, in this opinion, is granted the compensation sued for, which was a very large sum. J*il Delivery at Cadillac. About midnight on the 2J three prisoners broke out of the county jail at Cadillac. They a r e : Charles Stark, awaiting trial for picking pockets; Bert Wickwire, of Mt. Pleasant, serving 90 days for larceny, and Clarence Ilummond Sherman, serving GO days for larceny. T h e y dug through a brick wall a t t h e back of the jail. Sheriff Troy waa awakened by the neighing of a horse, suspected something, and on investigating found the prisoners gone. They were in the barn a t the time preparing to take a horse, but took alarm and fled. Officers are scouring1 the country, b u t no trace lias been found as yet. It is evident that t h e prisoners had outside help, and a r r e s t s may follow. Had Aeted Before Reqaettt was Received. Prestdent McKinley, through Secretary Porter, has replied to the recent communication, inclosing resolutions passed by t h e Holy Name society of Kalamazoo, in regard to the alleged desecration of c h u r c h property in the Philippines. T h e President says t h a t the subject referred to, is now under investigation. T h e letter closes as follows: ''Some time prior to the receipt of this communication, the President had caused, t o be instituted an in* quiry into such matters, and had directed the United States authorities in the Philippine Islands, t h a t special rejspect be paid t o a l l church property." Supervisor* Hast Mak« Report*. Supervisors will be interested in opinion given Stearns by Atty It appears that soma of the supervisors do not take kindly to the duty of gathering aud reporting farm statist i c , aud iu several instances they have wilfully neglected to d-> this work.

At Royal Oak is a cider mill which is owned and operated by a woman, without assistance of any kind from the other sex. Ontonagon's boom is to be still further extended by the erection in the village of a new plaining mill and sash and door factory. Burglars stole Harry Jewett's trousers a t Port Huron, b u t what he mourns the most is the $00 which one of t h e pockets contained. Lapham has killed over 1,000 this summer. The potato season is unusually late in the Grand Traverse region this year, and the new potato starch factory a t Traverse City is unable to start operations because not enough tubers have been brought in. The streets of Morriee will be lighted by arc electric lights at Sr»0 per light if the council will grant a franchise allowing the proprietor of the local mill to put in a plant for commercial lighting as well. The congregation of a certain church nt Ml.

A farmer nvnr Grand Haven h a s been experimenting in the raising of peanuts this season, with such success that he may go into the business on a large scale next year, as he has demonstrated that the soil thereabouts is well adapted for the growing of t h e goobers. Samuel Wagner was putting a felt on the rollers at the Three Rivers paper 'mill when his hand was caught between the rollers. He was slowly drawn in and was facing a horrible death when the machinery was slopped. His arm was crushed to the shoulder. The coming winter is going to be one of the busiest in lumbering in Presque Isle county for many years. Every company operating up there is preparing to rush things clear to the limit, the present high prices for all kinds of lumber being the cause of t h e big boom. Sugar beets raised on the river bottom lands at the state house of correction a t . Ionia shows only 111-10 per cent sugar. This is below the average, indicating that the rich bottom lands are not adapted to the development of sugar in the beet, although the yield of beets was very large. The chairman of the committee on ordinances of the Traverse City council forgot all about the ordinance which prohibits the riding of bicycles on certain streets of that city, and was notified by a constable who saw him in the act of violating the law to appear in court next morning, which he did, and was fined!

Attj. <jeu. Urlcc* Score* Capt. Carter. The opinion of Atty.-G-'U. Griggs in the case of Capt. Oberlin M. Carter of the army, upon which the President approved the finding of the courtmartial, was made public on the 5th. After dismissing certain of the minor charges as unproven the attorney-general, takes up the more serious questions involved, first considering the objection t h a t t h e charges upon which Capt. Carter was found guilty were incongruous. He says that unlike the ordinary criminal procedure t h e military usage and procedure permit of an indefinite number of offenses being charged and adjudicated together in one and the same proceeding. The statement concludes as follows: " I am, therefore, led to t h e conclusion t h a t the courtmartial was justified in its finding of guilty upon the charges and specifications relating to contracts made* by Carter in 1896, ana that the finding and sentence of the court with respect thereto, should be approved." 1,500 Perished in the Etrthquakes. It is now estimated that 1,500 persons perished in the recent e a r t h q u a k e s in Asia Minor, around Aldin. The first shock occurred on the morning of Sept. 20, and lasted 40 seconds. The effects were appalling. Whole villages were completely destroyed. The earthquake was felt as far as Scio, Mity- Jene and Smyrna. The latest advices from the stricken area show t h a t men, women and children were buried in the ruins of their dwelling places before they realized their danger. Numbers of bodies still lie beneath the de bris. About 500 persons were killed at Sarakeni and some ">00 at Denizli, where three-fourths of the buildings were destroyed. A proport'onate loss of life in many smaller villages occurred. Waiting for Kruger to St* Ike Flrit Blow. A London dispatch says: The situation is unchanged. The British reserves are likely to be called out before the end of the week and the Boers are already under rfrras, and are not likely to disband without fighting. Sir Uedvera Bailer's departure is not yet settled, in spite of numerous contradictory rumors. According to dispatches received at midnight on the 2d the burghers and the British regulars were at least ,10 miles distant a t the nearest point and hostilities which President Kruger apparently cannot now avert if he really desires to do so, are not likely to be brought on before the middle of the week. Compromise on Hotmdary Linn. By the decision of the Anglo-Venezuelan boundary arbitration commission, some of Great Britain's claims as to the interior and on the coast are disallowed. Her frontier will start at the Waini river. The award was unanimous. It is considered in the nature of a comp:omise rather than as favoring Venezuela. The award of the tribunal, briefly summarized means that, of the 60.000 square miles claimed by Venezuela, t h a t country obtains only 100 square miles, formed partly of the marsh land near the River Barima. and a portion in the interior, while Great Britain retains all the forest country. OutrHged and Then Murdered. Mrs. .lames Lashbrook, wife of a well-to-do farmer, and a member of one of the oldest families in Mason county, Ky.( was ravished and murdered on the 5th at her home at Clark's Station, six miles from Maysville. While alone a t home she went to an outhouse and while there it is supposed that one or more tramps who have been in the neighborhood for several days attacked her. After the outrage her assailants secured a club and beat out the woman's brains. Groom DeUyed—Hrlde In a Swoon. Moses Smith, of St. Paul, Minn., and Miss Dora Tbnman, of Evansville, Ind., were married on the 5th under peculiar circumstances.

The bride regained consciousness when Smith entered her room and touched her hand and they were immediately married, Triple Tragedy In Tex**. N. M. McKinney, Of Stranger, Tex., aged (•">, on the 2d killed Paul Norman, the proprietor of a general store, and then went to a vacant house nearby and blew out his brains. Soon after the shooting it was discovered t h a t Mrs. McKinney. the wife of t h e murderer, had been murdered, her defad body being found at her home. No cause or explanation of the tragedy* is known. Gen. L i w t o n went to Bacoor on tb# morning of the 3d and organized a gen? eral movement to clear up the countrj between Imu* and Bacoor, taking th« personal command. The fight was pract&ally:«nd«d a t 2bVock. Anothei illustration of the insurgent ooiiey ol evading meeting the Americans in force was furnished by the fact thai when our line swept across several miles of country, firing by volley and cheering, t h e Filipinos melted before them, and it was only occasionally that glimpses of the enemy .eouLd b« obtained as they ran from theii trenches and dodged through t h e bushes like rabbits. One body of t h e enemy, under a former mayor of I reus, retreated towards Perez das Marinas and another in t h e direction of San Francisco de Malabon. Lieut. Kuabenshue, with a party of scouts, crossed the river and found 28 dead Filipino* in the trenches, 15 of whom had beet killed by one shell. When the marines marched into Imus the soldiers cheered them and Gen. Lawton complimented them upon their work. Aguinaldo's third attempt to s h i f t his difficulties into the field of diplomacy is a repetition of the other o n e or two, with au impossible endeavor to obtain some sort of recognition of his so-called government. The Filipino envoys had an hour's conference with Gen. OHs on the 1st They brought from Aguinaldo a message t h a t he desired peace and wished t o send a civilian governmental commission to discuss the question. Gen. Otis replied t h a t it was impossible for h i m to recognize Aguinaldo's government in that way. They presented a l e t t e r from Aguinaldo as "president of the> republic," which was largely a repetition of his recent appeals for recognition. Gen, Otis informed them t h a t while he was willing to correspond with Aguinaldo as general of t h e insurgent forces, he must positively decline to recognize hiin as president of the civil government. The President on the 4th directed the immediate dispatch to the Philippines of a number of vessels of t h e navy, including the Brooklyn. N e w Orleans, Nashville and Badger. The action is the result of Admiral Dewev's interview, in which he went over t h e Philippine situation with the President. The orders given are in line with the expressed deterraiuation of the President to furnish t h e army and navy every resource for stamping out the Philippine insurrection at the earliest possible time. The famous cruiser Hartford, flagship of Admiral Farragut in the memorable battle of Mobile bay, has been placed in commission for the second time at Mare island navy yard. Enough of the framework of the old ship is left to preserve historical identity, b u t for all practical purposes she is a n e w , up-to-date cruiser. The Hartford will now be used to train patriotic American* for service in Uncle Sam's navy. Several hundred insurgents have reoccupied Porac, which was captured by Gen. MacArthur on Sept. 28, and evacuated by the Americans the following day. The insurgent forces a r e also reported moving toward Mexico, southeast of Angeles. The object of the double movement, is, apparently, to get behind the American garrison on both sides of the Mu:nla-Dagupan railway. Rear-Admiral Watson announces t h e recovery of the United States g u n b o a t Urdaneta, which was captured and beached by t h e insurgents near Orani on the Orani river, where she had been blockading. The expedition waa entirely successful, the Americans suffering no casualties. The insurgents released 14 of t h e American prisoners on Sept. 30, b u t Lieut, Gilraore and party * were n o t among them. The released men have nothing but praises for the t r e a t m e n t accorded them from t h e Filipinos, w h o gave them t h e best. The insurgents on the 4th made t w o attacks on Calamba, in which the commanding oflicer reportB 60 Filipinos f i l l e d and many wounded. Two companies of t h e 21st regiment repelled each attack, losing two men killed a n d seven wounded. In an engagement on the 4th an American private w a s killed in t h e skirmish a t Santa Ana. The Arayat party learned t h a t Seott and Edwards, of the 25th infantry, who are missing, are prisoners at Magalang. Gen.

"Now, smile a little, Kitty, and you'll look almost pretty!"' Meg drew back a pace to survey me critically. I sat looking fixedly before m e into the little cracked toilet glass, and tried to get used to the new beautified version of myself that I saw reflected there. My dark hair was all gathered up high on my head, twisted loosely by Meg's deft fingers to lie in soft, graceful coils. Beneath the mass of dark hair my face looked smaller and paler than I had been used to think it; my eyes had never looked so deeply set— they were too large and too dark for the smallness and paleness of my face, and my lips were too grave and too wistful; and yet, on tho whole, I was, prettier than I had thought myself. For the first time in my life I realized t h a t my head was well set, that my face was delicately shaped, that my chin at least was pretty. Aunt J a n e was giving a party tonight and I was in festal attire—in a white dress of soft muslin t h a t had never been worn by either Meg or Dora—a pretty dress that opened at the throat, that fitted me trimly, and t h a t in some mysterious way made me look slim and tall and not ungraceful. I put my elbows carelessly upon the grimy little dressing-table, bespattered with London smuts, and gazed longingly into tho cracked glass with unblushing eagerness. "I wish I ^\ere pretty!"—and I sighed. "I wonder if I am pretty, rather pretty—am I, Me;?? Oh, Me*,\ I think I would give anything to be beautiful like you!" "I believe some people misht think you prettier," she admitted, with an air of genuine concession. "Not that I can say that I agree with t h e m ! " she added at once with laughing candor. "You are too thin and, too white—but M i w n t m n M U H i i u u t m t m m w I took my elbow from the table and rose hastily, with a sudden sense of irritation and impatience. "One needn't be in lore," I declared, moving away from Dora to the window, "just because one wishes not to be a fright. I'm not in love!" "Well, it would be difficult," eaid Dora, with a yawn—"unless you fell in love with your poor little herr at your music lessons. Besides the herr, whom do you see? Nobody! Poor child—nobody at all! Oh, I forgot—there's John Mortimer; but John Mortimer doesn't count! By the by, Kitty, when is John Mortimer going to propose to you?" "Never," I replied In a clear, steady, tense voice, without turning my head. "Never! Oh, has he repented? Well, I thought he would." I returned no answer. "Suppose ho does propose?" persisted Dora, lazily. "What are you going to say?" It was the question I had been asking myself again and again, morning, noon, and night, for the past fortnight, ever since that afternoon when Aunt Jane had talked to me. I had always given myself the same answer—given it resolutely, emphatically—I should refuse him, and refuse him unhesitatingly, In Euch a way that he should not doubt my firmness, should never think of urging me. And yet, in spite of my decision, again and again the question had come back to me, as though I had never solved it. "Ho will not izlt me," I said. "If 1':*) does " "If he does?" "I shall not accept him," I said, quietly. Dora tilted her chair backward in a perilous positio-i, r.nd sat and watched me. "And what will mamma say?" she asked presently i » a comical tr .e of consternation. *Would yo,i?% I said, dryly. "Well, no," said Dora, laughing, " a a cecond thought I'm not sure that I would. While one is unmarried, life, even as a snubbed governess in •i stuffy schoolroom, has at all events possibilities. John Mortimer Is such a grim, unromantic certainty." "Perhaps he does seem grim to you," I said coldly, "He never seems grim to me.*" "lie's so—so middle-aged," objected Dors, with another little yawn. "He'3 35!" I said, with a sudden feeling of irritation. : f hate young men." "What odd taste! And then, he's so commonplace! Not, by the wides*. stretch -.if imagination, could I fancy John Mortimer doing anything a little wicked." "Nor I. I'm glad!" "Oh, I like a -man to have a dash of wickedness!" "Do you? I prefer a man to be trustworthy, upright and true!" "My dear Kitty, why so snappish?" "I'm not snappish," I said quickly, with a feeling of penitence. "London's so hot!" I explained somewhat illogically. "One's temper can't be perfect in London in the first week of August. I shall be glad when we get away.'" But, even as I expressed the wish, something seemed to tighten about my heart; it ached at the thought of how short a time was left before my wish must be accomplished. When the time came for us to go Cornwall, the timo would come, too, when John Mortimer would go to Brittany, to the sister who thought slightingly of girls, and to her friend, that perfect woman, who was as young at 30 as she had been at 20, who would never be old at heart, of whom it was impossible that any one could have spoken in dispraise. 11UUBIJMI « 8 .

The papers congratulate President Kruger | for coming to this decision. London, Oct. 5 . - T h e most sensational news from South Africa today \ a reiteration cf yesterday's report of the acquisition by the Transvaal authorities cf £500,000 in gold, which was on the way to Cape Town from Johannesburg. The confirmation of the story comes from two sources. The Cape Argus asserts that the Boers made the seizure at Vereenigeng, the amount being the week's shipment of gold on the way from the Rand to Cape Town, and forwarded the treasure to Pretoria. The report is also confirmed by a cablegram received by a mining company '- in London from their representative, which is to the effect that the train upon which he was traveling from Johannesburg to Cape Town was held up and looted by Boers, who secured £300,000 in gold, the amount being considerably less than the original estimate.

Now I'll run away and get dressed myself. Are you coming, Dora?" But Dora sat still. "Kitty, you're getting: vain?" ehe said with a laugh, as Meg went tripping away. "Vain!" I echoed dismally. " I wish I could be vain! I never used to care about being pretty; I suppose it comes with growing up. I wish my hair curled, Dora!" x , "Curl it, dear.'1 "I wish I were like Meg!"—and I sighed again. "Meg's prettlness won't wear." said Dora, in a judicial tone. "By the time you're 40, Kitty, you'll be much better looking than Meg." "But I'm not 40," I exclaimed, halflaughing, half-petulant. "I don't care bow I look at 40. I care how I look now—not at 40 or 80, but now!"' Dora leant back In her chair, and, with a little smile, surveyed me lazily. "My dear little Kitty," she said, after a minute, "do you know what any one who saw you and heard you «.t this moment would Imagine?" " W h a t ? " "You t o bf» in love, my dear. You have all the symptoms—and more. W h o is It, Kitty? Break It to me "I don't care—I don't care in the very least!" I said, and this time at all events there was a ring of sincerity in my tone. My fear of Aunt J a n e had vanished marvelously in the past two weeks. I seemed to have grown from childhood to womanhood, and Aunt Jane no longer overawed me, no longer held my destiny subject to her frown. My heart sank whenever I told myself anew that I must refuse John Mortimer; but it was not the fear of Aunt J a n e that BO much oppressed ma. "She would never forgive you," Bald Dora with easy conviction. "I krioW that; I should never ask her. Dora," I continued, turning away from the window and coming back to my seat before the table, "I have been thinking about—about things lately, and I've decided what I want to do. I want to go away now, not away from London perhaps, but away from here. I want to be earning a living of my own, not to be dependent any longer on Aunt Jane's bounty. Some one might have me as a governess, as nurssery governess. Do you think that anybody would?" d teach horrid little boys and girls jthelr A B C , and see that their aashei are tied straight and their faces cleanly washed, and t h a t their toes are tucked In a t night! I would rather marry John Mortimer if I were you."! CHAPTER VI. Aunt Jane passed along the passage on her way to her room to dress. She opened my door, which stood ajar, and looked in with her normal air of disapproval. "Do you intend to come downstairs in that costume, Dora?" she asked, severely, looking at Dora's pretty but much-crumpled pink print. "My dear Kate"—with a still sourer glance at me—"will you try to recollect that your dress will cost at least two guineas and has to be paid for yet? If you bear that in mind, you will perhape be careful of it all the evening. If you are ready, you can go downstairs at onoo into the drawing-room." I went downstairs as Aunt Jane had bidden me. The drawing-room, door stood open. I entered, and, busily engrossed in arranging the little nosegay of red geraniums at my waist,'I halfcrossed the room before I was conscious that any one was there. Then, as I raised my eyes, I met John Morti- {- iter's grave, frank nnilo, and I knew W f-ce ligl::^l up at once. Kk, oame forward to meet me, his steady gray eyes still constraining me to look at him. "I a.;ue early, Kitty, to see you," he told me, speaking in a very quiet, serious way. "I asked Mrs. Corfield to let me see you for a little while alone." So Aunt Jane had sent me down to meet htm! Why had she not warned me that he was here? Why had she let him surprise me into that swift, tell-tale glance of greeting? • _ He drew forward the only easy-chair the room contained—a chair sacred to the service of Aunt Jane—and seated himself near me on the green red sofa by the window. He eyed me with a somewhat puzzled glance. "Are you wondering what has h a p - pened to me?" I asked. "You are looking very grown trp," he answered, smiling. "And very pretty," he added, after a moment, in a euiet tone. In spite of myself my eyes smiled into his. I drew a deep, contented breath. He-thought me pretty—all the rest of the world might think me j&lain, and I should not carel I should never bemoan again my paleness, my dark eyes, which would not sparkle as Meg's blue eyes sparkled when they smiled. "I have a new dress," I explained, shyly—"a new dress which is quite my own. Do you like i t ? " "Very much. I always like your dresses, K i t t y ! " I looked at him wonderingly. "What—always!" I echoed. "Not always!" I echoed. "Not always?" "Always!" "The old linsey-woolsey I was wearing last winter, with the sleeves half-, way up my arms, and the skirt above my ankles, and the black braid all turned green and the elbows threadbare! You didn't like that dress?" "Yes, I did." "It was hideous! Meg and Dora were always bantering me about that dress. It was the ugliest dress t h a t was ever seen." "Was It?" "And how it wore!" I said, sighing. "It wouldn't wear out. I thought it would last till doomsday. Do you know, I don't think much of your taste in dresses." H e smiled a t me In his grave way; and let my slighting opinion pass unchallenged. His eyes, even while they smiled, were looking a t m e with a strange earnestness. He bent forward a little, facing me. (To be continued.) S i t u a t i o n R e m a i n ! S t r a i n e d - There is nothing very tangible in today's war news, but the situation remains as strained as ever, unless hope may be derived from the apparent fact that the forces on the frontier are regarded by both sides as wholly defensive for the present, and from the statement that J. H. Hofmeyer, the Afrikander leader in Cape Colony, is still prepared to endeavor to secure the adhesion of the Transvaal government to the "irreducible minimum" proposed at the DIoemfontein conference to President Kruger, by Sir Alfred Milner, the British high commissioner, if the imperial government will stand by the high commissioner's original proposal. The Stock Exchange was influenced during the opening hours today by vague rumors that Queen Victoria had cabled President Kruger and President Steyn, holding out the olive brancn, and by a report that the Boers had been defeated in a small enga-gement. Prices rose, but there was a speedy relapse when both stories were discredited. Sir William Vernon Harcourt, the distinguished liberal statesman, member cf parliament for West Monmouthshire, has another slashing attack in today's papers upen the policy of the secretary of state for the colonies, Joseph Chamberlain. He reiterates his original statement, that Mr. Chamberlain's assertion that the Transvaal refused to redress the grievances of the outlandcrs is trie reverse of the case, and insists that Great Britain is responsible for "slamming the door in the face of President Kruger just when arrangements were approaching a settlement."

Yes; j was married to a drunkard. Look at me! I am talking to the girls.'* We all turned and looked afc her. She was a wan woman, with dark, sad eyes and white hair placed smoothly over a brow that denoted intellect. "When I married a drunkard I reached the acme of misery," she continued. " I was young and oh, so happy! I married the man I loved, and who professed to love me. H e was a drunkard; and I knew it—knew it, but did not under stand it. There is not a young girl in this building that does understand it unless she has a drunkard in her family; then, perhaps she knows how deeply the iron enters the soul of a woman when she loves and is allied to a drunkard—whether father, husband, brother or son. Girls, believe me, when I tell you that to marry a drunkard, is the crown of all misery. I have gone through the deep waters, and know. I have gained that fearful knowlege bed, and my heart seemed suddenly to stop beating. There lay my : children, covered with their life- , blood, slain by their own father! For a moment I could not utter a sound. I was literally dumb in the presence of my terrible>sorrow. I scarcely heeded the maniac at my side—fie man who had brought me all the woe. Then I uttered a loud scream, and my wailing filled the air. The servants heard me and hastened to the room, and when my husband saw them he suddenly drew the knife across his own throat. I knew nothing more. I was borne senseless from the room that contained the bodies of my slaughtered children and the body of my husband. T h e next day my hair was white and my mind was so shattered that I knew no one." * * # # "MY BOY IN A DRUNKARD'S GRAVE. She ceased. O u r eyes were rivited upon her wan face. Some of the women sobbed aloud, while there was scarcely a dry eye in that temperance meeting. We saw that she had not done speaking and was only waiting to subdue her emotion to resume her story. "For two years," she continued " I was a mental wreck. Then I recovered from the shock and abosbed myself in the care of my boy. 3 that wrecked my happiness that I have unfolded my history to yon. I am a stranger in this great city. I am merely passing through it; snd I have a message to every girl—never marry a drunkard!" I can see her now, as she stood there amid the hushed audience, her dark eyes glowing, and her frame quivering with emotion; as she uttered her passionate appeal. Then she hurried out, and we never saw her agiin.

The self-made man is usually proud of a very poor job. Gossips are receiving tellers, but one can't bank on their statements. The man who is ruled by .his inclinations Invariably travels in & zigzag course. From raalmi, 9 1 : 16. »s Follow*] "With Long Life Will I Satisfy Him"—Rollgluo, Stoic-Bed* »ud Grave-Yard*— HUtakes of Zealot*. A woman's club is generally unwieldy from a parliamentary standpoint, at least. When some women make up their mind to do a thing they make up their face accordingly. State Senator Emory from Pennsylvania blames the railroads for the trust. It is not apparent that Statesman Emory is off the track. The great fault with which the count r y has to contend may be summed up in the words individual irresponsibility. Could every voter understand t h a t in him and him alone reposes the -welfare of the nation her institutions would be safe. Let every man do what Is right according to his conscience, and regardless of what others believe t o be right, and the greatest good will certainly accrue to the greatest number. The American collegian is fast gaining widespread fame as a digger and a delver. Through the long winter and the balmy spring he digs into his Greek and Latin in class and study room; during the summer season he digs for fossils in the bad lands and the lava fields, and when the crisp autumn breezes blow he digs holes in the football field with his own and his opponents' craniums. The last-mentioned kind of excavation, it may be added, is easily the most popular cf all. The agricultural department at Washington is making elaborate preparations with a view of making that department of the census of 1900 very comprehensive. Advance forms of j census reports are being sent out for > the perusal of farmers so that by June 1. next (the date on which the census taking is to begin) every farmer in the j land will have a clear understanding t of his part of the contract. The de- { partment is to be complimented for the manner in which it has set about its work.- * (Copyright 1885 bjr Loula Klopach.) , Through the mistake of its friends, religion has been chiefly associated with cJck-beds and grave-yards. The whole subject, to many people, is odorous with chlorine and carbolic acid. There are people who cannot pronounce the word religion without hearing in it the clipping chisel of the tombstone cutter. It is high time that this thing were changed, and that religion, Instead of being represented as a hearse to carry out the dead, should be represented as a chariot la which the living are to triumph. Religion, so far from subtracting from one's vitality, is a glorious addition. It is sanative, curative, hygienic. It is good for the eyes, good for the ears, good for tho spleen, good for the digestion, good for the nerves, good for the muscles. When David, in another part of the Psalm, prays that religion may be dominant, he does not speak of it as a mild sickness, or an emaciation, or an attack of moral and spiritual cramp; he speaks of it as "the saving health of all nations"; while God, in the text, promises longevity to the pious, saying: "With long life will I satisfy him." The fact is that men and women die too soon. I t Is high time that religion joined the hand of medical Bclence in attempting to Improve human longevity. Adam lived nine hundred and sixty-nine years. Methuselah lived nine hundred and sixty-nine years. As late in the history of the world as Vespasian, there were, at one time in his empire, forty-five people one hundred and ihirty-five years old. So far down as the sixteenth century. Peter Zartan died at one hundred and eighty-five years of age. I do not say that religion will ever take the race back to antediluvian longevity, but I do nay the length of life will be increased. It is said in Isaiah: "The child shall die a hundred years old." Now, if according to Scripture, the child is to be a h m d r e d years old, may not the men and women reach to three hundred and four hundred and five hundred? The fact is that we are mere dwarfs and skeletons compared with some, cf the generations that are to coaie. Take the African race. They havo been under bondage for centuries. Give them a chance, and they develop a Fredj erick Douglass or a Toussaint L'Ou- 1 vcrture. And if the white race shall j be brought from under the serfdom of soon thmfc of going out on the bridge between New York and Brooklyn, leaping off and then praying to God to keep him from getting hurt. Just as long as you refer this whole subject of physical health to the realm of whimsicality or to the pastry cook, or to the butcher, or to the baker, you are not acting like a Christian. Take care of all your physical forces—nervous, muscular, bone, brain, cellular tissue— for all you must be brought to Judgment. Smoking your nervous system Into fidgets, burning out the coating of your stomach with wine logwooded and Btrychnined, walking with thin shoes to make your feet look delicate, pinched at the waist until you are nigh cut in two, and neither part worth anything, groaning about sick headache and palpitation of the heart, which you thihk came from God, when they came from your own folly! What right has any man or woman to deface the temple of the Holy Ghost? What is the ear? It is the whispering gallery of the soul. What is the eye? It Is the observatory God constructed, its telescope sweeping^the heavens. What is the hand? An instrument so wonderful that when the earl of Brldgewater bequeathed in his will $40,000 for treatises to be written on the wisdom, power and goodness cf God, Sir Charles Bell, the great English anatomist and surgeon, fouud his greatest illustration in the construction of the human hand, devoting his whole book to that subject So wonderful are these bodies that God names his own attributes after different parts of them. His omniscience— '.t is God's eye. His omnipresence— It is God's ear. His omnipotence—it is God's arm. The upholstery of the midnight heavens—it is the work of God's fingers. His life-giving power— it is the breath of the Almighty. His dominion—"the government shall be upon his shoulder." A body so divinely constructed, let us be careful not to abuse it.. When it becomes a Christian duty to take care of our health, is not the whole tendency toward longevity? If I toss my watch about recklessly, and drop it on the pavement, and wind it up any time of day or night I happen to think of it, and often let it run down, while you are careful with year watch, and never abuse it, and wind it up just at the r.arae hour every night, and put it in a place where it will not suffer from \Y violent changes of atmosphere, wmch watch will last the longer? Common sense answers. Now, the human body is Gou s watch. You see the hands'of the watch, yon sec the face of the watch, but the beating of the hea.t is the ticking of the watch. Be careful and do not, let it run down! % Again: I remark that practical religion is a friend of longevity in the fact that it is a protest against dissipations, *--hch injure and destroy the You went to the rizht; h*s went to the leCt. That Is all tho difference between yon. U this religion is a protest against all forms of dissipation, then it la an illustrious friend of longevity. "With long life will I satisfy him." Again: Religion is a friend of longevity in the fact that it takes the worry out of our temporalities. It is not work that kills men, it ia worry. When a man becomes a genuine Christian he makes over to God not only his affections, but his family, his business, his reputation, his body, his mind, his soul—everything. Industrious he will be, but never worrying, because God la managing his affairs. How can he worry about business when in answer to his prayers God tells him when to buy, and when to sell; and if he gain, that is best, and if he lose, that is best. Suppose you had a supernatural neighbor who came in and said: "Sir, I want you to call on me in every exigency; I am your fast friend. I could fall back on $20,000,000; I can foresee a panic fen years; I hold the controlling stock iu thirty of the best monetary institutions of New York; whenever you are in trouble, call on me and I will help you; you can have my money and you can have my influence; here is my hand in pledge for it." How much would you worry about business? Why, you would say: "I'll do the best I can, and then I'll depend on my friend's generosity for the rest." * * * * * * * What do you want In the future world? Tell me and you shall have it. Orchards? Tnere are the trees with twelve manner of fruits, yielding fruit every month. Water scenery? There is the River of Lire from under the throne of God, clear as crystal, and the sea of glass mingled with fire. Do you want music? There is the oratorio of the Creation led on by Adam, and the oratorio of the Red sea led on by Moses, and the oratorio of the Messiah led on by St. Paul, while the archangel with swinging baton controls the one hundred- and forty-four thousand who make up the orchestra. Do you want reunion? There are your children waiting to ki?s you, waiting to embrace you, waiting to twist garlands in your hair. You have been accustomed to open the door on this side the sepulchre. You have been accustomed to walk in the wet grass on the top of the grave. 1 show you the under side of tne grave; the bottom has fallen out,. and the long repei with which tb° pall-bearers let down your dead, j k , them clear through into heaven, j Glory be to God for this robust, healthy reugion. It will have a tendency to make you live long In this world, and in the world to come you will have eternal life. "With long life will I satisfy him." 'REBELS ARE DRIVEN OUT.

Insurgents on the American troops l a Cavlte province during the last threedays, in which one officer and a private have beta killed, and eleven privates wounded, had their sequel Tuesday, when Gen. Grant moved out fromi Imus toward Bacoor. The Thirteenth infantry, from Pa> say, and two companies of the Fourteenth, from Paranaque, were forwarded to Zapote and Bacoor. A ;strpng* garrison was left behind at Imus o a account of the number of rebels in t h e surrounding country, i Gen. Lawton, with five companies of marines, four companies of the Fourteenth infantry, and a troop of, t h e Fourth cavalry, under command" of Col. Daggett, drove the insurgents, up the Imus road and crossed the river. Meanwhile three companies o f vlir Fourth Infantry advanced from an opposite direction on Imus,. and by S o'clock the island between Bacocr m d Imus and the river banks were clear of rebels. The enemy fell back on San F r a n - cisco de MAlabon and Civile Viejo. One American officer and a private were wounded. Gen. Grant is sllll chasing the enemy. Three scouts who crossed the river report that they found the bodies of twenty-eight dead Insurgents In one tr.ench. Three companies of the Thirteenth infantry are re-enforcing t a * garriEon at Imus. A dispatch from Negros reports that Capt. Poore, with a company of the Sixth Infantry, attacked the rebels at Labun. Twenty of the enemy were killed and 5.0CJ Mauser and 1,000 Remington cartridges captured, in addition to twelve rifles and some supplies of foodstuff9. One American officer was killed and one officer and three privates wounded. T h e Japanese government has dee d e d to recognize Christianity as one of the religious organizations of the country, and to give Christian ministers the same rights a^ are granted to Buddhist and Shinto priests. A new law, however, puts the affairs of all sects, including the building of churches, the holding of meetings, thp settlement of preachers and methods j cf maintenance, under the control of j local governors. Some solicitude is J occasioned by the large powers of these j governors, who will be able, if so dis- I posed, to hinder missionary operations sin, what shall be the body? what ] health. Bad men and women live a Two wonderful fossil specimens have just been discovered in Germany ] and delivered to the museum of the •' University of Tuebingen. One of them, found in a Nusplingen lime quarry in the heights of the Heubergs, is the perfect skeleton of a large, shark-like fish, imbedded in the limestone in such a way as to show accurately its anatomical structure. The other, found in the slate quarries of Halzmaden, near Kirchheim, is the skeleton of a small lcthyosaurus, with every smallest bone in its natural articulation, the dorsal and caudal fins Intact, and the skin covering of the webbed feet plainly distinguishable. T h i s latter specimen la declared to be the most nearly perfect specimen of the lcthyosaurus yet found. The United States government is an extravagant book publisher. About eighteen years ago It began the compilation of the records of the Union and Confederate armies, officially known as the Rebellion Records. More t h a n one hundred and twenty volumes fcave already been printed, as a cost Of nearly three million dollars, and the aeries is not yfet complete. Few persons would question the historical value of this great work, but many might doubt the wisdom of so free a distribution of the volumes at public expense. In country public libraries the books are rarely used enough to pay for the space they fill. In Lisbon, N. H., for example, the librarian relates this Incident: A email boy stood before the hundred massive volumes and said, "My! wouldn't I like to read t h e m ! " The permission was speedily granted. The boy took one of the books from the shelf, but for some reas o n did not carry it away. "Th*t,M concluded the librarian, "is the only 4*11 tor these books that I can remem- * t r l a y e a n t o have h*4 " shall be the soul? Religion has only just touched our world. Give it full power for a few centuries, and who c^n tell what will be the strength of man, and the beauty of woman, and the longevity of all? My design is to show that practical religion is the friend of long life. I prove it, first, from the fact that it makes the care of our health a positive Christian duty. Whether we shall keep early or late horns, whether we shall take food digestible or indigestible, whether there shall be thorough or incomplete mastication, are questions very often deferred to the realm of whimsicality; but the Christian man lifts this whole problem of health into the accountable and the divine. He says: '"God has given me this body, and He has called it the temple of the Holy Ghost, and to deface its altars, or mar its walls, or crumble its pillars, is a God-defying sacrilege." He sees God's callgraphy in every page—anatomical and physiological. He says: "God has given me a wonderful body for noble purposes." That arm with thirty-two curious bones wielded by forty-six curious muscles, and all under the brain's telegraphy; three hundred and fifty pounds of blood rushing through the heart every hour, the heart in twenty-four hours beating 100,000 times, during the twenty-four hours the lungs taking in fifty-seven hogsheads of air, and all this mechanism not more mighty than delicate and easily disturbed and demolished. The Christian man says to himself: 'If I h u r t my nerves, if I h u r t my brain, if I hurt any of my physical faculties, I Insult God and call for dire retribution." Why did Gcd tell the Levites not to offer to him in sacrifice animals imperfect and diseased? He ] meant to tell us In all the ages that j we are to offer to God our very best j physical condition, and a man who through irregular or gluttonous eating ruins his health is not offering to God such a sacrifice. Why did Paul write for his cloak at Troas? Why should such a great man as Paul be inxlous about a thing so insignificant is an overcoat? It was because he icnew that with pneumonia and rheumatism he would not be worth half as nuch to God a n d ' t h e Church ae with respiration easy and f£c\ fr*:. An Intelligent Christian man would consider it an absurdity to kneel down U night and pray and-«6^ God's projection, while At the «a«e time he kept the windows of his bedroom tight shut igsjnat fresh air B* would inst «s very short life. Their sins kill them. I know hundreds of good old men, but I do not know half a dozen bad old men. Why? They do not get old. Lord Byron died at Missolonghi at thirty-six" years of age, himself his own Mazeppa, his unbridled passions the horse that dashed with him into the desert. Edgar A. Pee died at Baltimore at thirty-eight years cf age. The black raven that alighted on the bust above his door was •> delirium tremens— "Only this and nothing rr.are." Napoleon Bonaparte livtd only just beyond mid-life, then died at St. Helena, and one of his doctors said that his disease was induced by excessive snuff; ing. The hero of Austerlitz, the manwho by one step of his foot in the center of Europe shook the earth, killed by a snuff-box! How many people we have known who have not lived out half their days because of their dissipations and indulgences! Now, practical religion is a protest against all dissipations of any kind. "But," you say, "professors of religion have fallen, professors of religion have got druu*.-, professors of religion have misappropriated trust funds, professors of religion have absconded." Yes; but they threw away their religion before they did their morality. If a man on a White Star line steamer bound tor Liverpool, in mid-Atlantic, jumps overboard and is drowned, is that anything against the White Star line's capacity to take the man across the ocean? And if a man jumps over the gunwale of his religion and goes down n*ver to rise, is thai any reason for your believing that religion has no capacity to take the man clear through? In the one case, if lie had kept to the steamer his bouy would have been saved; in the other case, ii he had kept to his religion his morals would have been saved. There are aged people who would have been de?.4 twenty-five years ago but for the defent-.es and the equipoise of religion. You have no more natural resistance than hundred? of people who lie in the cemeteries today, slain by their own vices. The doctors made their case as kind and pleasant as they could, and it was called congestion of the brain, or something else, but the snakes and the blue flies that seemed to crawl over the pillow in the eight of the delirious patient showed what was the matter with Urn. Yon, the aged Christian m a s , walked along by that unhappy one until you came to the golden pillar of a Christina life, W H I T E H O U S E Umlcrfjoe* Alteration'* w i t h I.'ach tievr Presidential Family. During the absence of President and Mrs. McKinley from Washington, Col. Bingham, superintendent ff public buildings and grounds, had a large force of workmen employed in renovating and repairing the executive mansion, and this work is being hurried to completion. It is quite a noticeable and interesting fact that the white house bears in a measure the individuality of every lady who has had the honor to preside there, and by whom the expensive decorations and furnishings have been in a great measure planned. It has been sought to preserve the colonial appearance of the mansion, but through the varying tastes for decorations very little of the colonial atmosphere of the interior remains. The historic traditions of the mansion cculd be as well preserved, perhaps, if the president no longer continued to reside there. There is scarcely any doubt the American people, in view of the interest which has always attached to tbrs white house, would gladly bear the expense of keeping it as it now stands, as Mt. Vernon and Arlington are maintained. More historic traditions clustered around the old capitol than about the white house, but this fact did not prevent congress from altering it to suit its convenience and needs whenever desirable or necessary. If t i e white house had never been altered from the day of its erection to the present time, i except to make necessary repairs, it would be of much more, historical "in-i terest than it Is, or if it had received extensive additions from time to time, '. such as the great castle4 in England, it would then present an Interesting" appearance. Eat, as it !a, no extensive alterations have <>ve/ been made, but one president After another has cnipped off a Lttle here and added a little there. Inside and outside, until the white ~ouse ic neither purely colonial r.or modern, but a patchwork cf both. GREAT BRITAIN GAINS MOST. Venezuela lloanrtury Fixed— The Verdict a Disappointment. Paris telegram: There is considerable disappointment in the award of the arbitration tribunal on the part of friends of Venezuela. Although they are highly satisfied that a definite boundary line has been established, it is felt that Venezuela should have had more of the disputed territory. However, it was one of the chief desires of Venezuela to possess the whole of the mouth of the Orinoco, and tho fact that this has been granted through the drawing of the line from Point Playa. instead of from the mouth of the Amacura river, occasions deep satisfaction. The award of the tribunal briefly summarized means that of the GO.OOO square miles claimed by •Venezuela that country obtains only 100 square miles, formed partly of the marshland near the River Barima and a portion in the interior, while Great Britain retains all the forest country. Mr. Harrison and M. Mallet Provost, who were interviewed jointly, claim that the award gives Point Barima, with a strip of land fifty miles'long, to Venezuela, which thereby obtains entire control of the River Orinoco. Three thousand square mile3 in the interior, they say, are also awarded to Venezuela. One of the counsel for Great Britain made the following statement for the Associated Press: "Great Britain has substantiated almost all her extreme claim. All the valuable plantations and gold fields are now indisputably settled within British territory." Miner* F i g h t at Decatur. 111. Decatur, 111., telegram: A small riot was witnessed at the new shaft of the Decatur Coal company this morning early, when twelve negroes, non-union men, who have been working daily since the strike b^egan, three weeks ago, appeared to go down. A committee of white strikers appointed by the union last night to watch the shaft day and night engaged the colored men in conversation with the result that a row ensued, in the'course of which shotguns, revolver* and razors a p - peared. Henry Williams, colored, was knocked down and badly injured, and a striker was bruised. The company will call for police protection and leave the mines open for all men who want work.

To show how distance Is being overcome by railroad speed Mr. Chas, T. Batelie, a young business man of Seattle, handed the Editor of the Times, a few days ago, an e»velope, postmarked New York City, Aug. 28, 7 p. m., the reverse side containing these words:' "Seattle, Sept. 1, 11 p. m." It takes but a little figuring to demonstrate that these postmarks indicate a lapse of just "100 hours" of time—or four days and four hours. It was only about two jears ago that it took "six continuous days" of riding to cross the continent from New York to Seattle, and when this was reduced VG "five days" the travelers rejoiced. What roust their happiness be when they appreciate the fact that they can step on board a "lightning express" in New York City and step off a "Flyer" in Seattle in exactly "100 hours." and then have "thirty minutes" of leeway, as the Great Northern wis due in Seattle at 10-30 September 1.

Thousands of persons reached the city on the morning trains and joined the vast throng already here. Army and navy veterans of the civil war and those freah from the battlefields of the Spanish war swelled the procession of marchers, and what it lacked in size it made up in sentiment. Lines of spectators stretched down the entire line of march. From, the treasury '.o the capltol the street was black with people. The tops of the buildings were as crowded as the bottoms, and for solid squares spectators hung from windows and fire-escapes, and even the roofs of buildings were crowded almost to overflowing. Headed by the Marine band, the procession moved slowly down the avenue to the capitol, where great throngs had congregated to witness the one great incident, which was the feature of Admiral Dewey's welcome home—the presentation of the sword voted him by congress. ' Admiral Dewey and President McKinley occupied a carriage in the center of the parade, and when they reached the capitol they left the procession and entered the building. It was some time before the admiral and President McKinley made their appearance, and during that interval the veterans of Santiago held an informal reception. When Dewey, accompanied by the chief magistrate, emerged from the capitol and walked slowly down the steps leading to the grand stand the air fairly trembled with the shores and cheers of the assembled thousands. As Secretary Long stepped into the stand a great shout went up. The secretary then read the brief correspondence which took place betwe?n himself and Admiral Dewey leading "p to the battle of Manila. This was tho occasion for universal cheering. Admiral Dewey was painfully nervous. When the remarks of the secretary were not personal he joined in the applause r.nd clapped his hands and waved his bearer. At times he seemed greatly affected by the remarks of Mr. Lon«!, and tears gathered in his eyes. After Secretary Long had made the presentation speech President McKinley took the sword and said: "Admiral Dewey: From your entrance in the harbor of New York, with your gallant crew and valiant ship, the demonstrations which everywhere have greeted you reveal the public esteem of your heroic action, and the fullness of love in which you are held by your country. The voice of the nation is lifted in praise and gratitude for the distinguished and memorable services you have rendered the country, and all the people give you affectionate welcome home, in which I join with all my heart. Your victory exalted American valor and extended American authority. There was no flaw in your victory; there will be no faltering in maintaining it. It gives me extreme pleasure and g*eat honor In behalf of all the people to hand you this sword, the gift of the nation voted by the congress of the United States." The president handed the admiral the sword with a deep bow and there was a roar of applause as Dewey received it. The crowd was hushed as he* turned to reply. Admiral Dewey said: "I thank you. Mr. President, for this great honor you have conferred upon me, I thank the congress for what it has done. I thank the secretary of the navy for his gracious words. I thank my countrymen for this beautiful gifi. which shall be an heirloom in my family forever, as an evidence that republics are not ungrateful, and I thank you. Mr. Chairman and gentlemen of the committee, for the gracious, cordial and kindly welcome which you have given me to my home." The sword presented to the admiral, except Its steel blade and the body metal of its scabbard, is entirely of 22-carat gold. On the pommel is carved the name of the battleship Olympia and the zodiacal sign for December, in which month Dewey was born. The sword blade is damascened with the inscription: "The Gift of the Nation to •toftiral George Dewey, U. S. N., in Himmrj of the Victory at Manila Hay. Mai i. 1898." The scabbard is of thin gtijsy. damascened in gold. President McKinley, in lienor of A'datlrml Dewey, last night gave UK UlgMt dinner party in the history of tfe* wfeltt house social functions. Covlaid for over eighty persons ts included the cabinet, the of nine states, justices of the coUrt, some of the members oi fetuses of congress, army &ad Mftfr oSclala and others. Mexicans Determined to Eud the War. A telegram from Ortiz, State, of Sonora, Mex., *ays: The Mexican ROVj enttnent is making1 t>trenuou» efforts to • get all its forces in the held at once 1 and bring the Yaqut Indian war to a speedy termination. If they do not do so betore next April when the threemouths rainy season sets in it means that the war will last all through next hummer, which the government wants to prevent, if possible. For that reason they will push the matter as much as possible at present. Jose L. Gonzales, chief of construction of the federal telegraph lines in the state of Sonora, who has been in the mountains for three weeks past tryiug to repair some 200 miles of telegraph wire, laid waste by t>ie Indians, returned accompanied by bis escort ot cavalry and force of linemen. He says his men replaced many miles of broken wire but to little purpose, as the Indians followed them at a safe distance and tore down the wires as rapidly as they were repaired. The Indians seem to be in excellent fighting1 trim and apparently are growing bolder every day. Havana's Exports. . If the volume of business continues for the next four months at the ratio of the past eight months the export trade of Havana for the first year of American occupation will exceed $29,- 000,000. The total exports for eight months were 818,038,570, the United States alone taking 813,423,417 worth, leaviog to be distributed among 20 other counties only 85,535.153 worth. The exports of merchandise to the United States was $12,89&,033, and gold coin 8530,374. Spain took 8875.040 worth of merchandise and 81,803 42.9 in gold coin while France took 8973,960 worth ot merchandise and 8513,950 worth of gold coin. Eventful Voyage of a Whaler. The steam whaler, Mary Hume, arrived at San Francisco on the 1st after a cruise of six years. She had a very eventful voyage from Behring Sea, being caught in a gale which raged for 14 hours. Her seams parted and her joints creaked; the boilers were started out of place and a pipe broken, and the firemen were knee deep in water. The waist boat was swept away and bi<r sea waves staved in the starboard bulwarks. Water was made so fast that all hands were called to use the buckets. They bailed and two siphons aided the steam pump. Night and day they had to work to keep afloat. Andrea Mujr Have Passed t h e North Pol*. The buoy mark '"Andree Polar Expedition," which, with an anchor attached, was found September «J, on the north coast of King Charles island, by the master of the Norwegian cutter Martha Larsask, was opened Oct. 1 in the presenee of a number of experts and the members of the Sweden cabinet. It was found to be the so-called North Pole buoy, which Andree expected to drop if he succeeded in pass- , ing the pole. After Mules iu Texas. Gov, Saj'ers, of Texas, on the 2d received a telegram from Maj.
