One man in a village not far from here, having occasion to use his hay scales during tbe storm, weighed them before sweeping them off, and found there was 350 pounds of snow upon them. In less than two hours he weighed them again and found that 150 pounds more had fallen. As they were only covered with an average depth, think of the hundred? of thousands of tons that fell during the storm of Wednesday, February 28, 1900. UNADILtA FARMER'S CtUB.

A new auditorium accommodating 4,000 persons has been built. During the volcanic eruption in the Hawaiian islands last summer the smoke rose to a height of between five and six miles, and then drifted away to the northeast At a, distance of 600 miles from Hawaii it settled' upon the surface of the sea(j and was then carried back by the northeast wind to its jilace of origin, where it arrived a fortnight after Its "original departure, and covered the entire group of islands with its heavy pall. It is str?.nftc now to ror-all that, .as a a girl, the hue mother of the Gorman empress was exceedingly anxious to marry Napok^on III. Indeed, the marriage, was. nearly arranged, but .Que.^n Victoria and Prince Albert strongly disapproved of the proposed alliance, and their oppositioji carried the day. Had Princess Adelaide of Hohenloho become empress of the French the whole face of Europe would almost certainly have been different. The recent trials at Indian Head, on the Potomac, of the armor made for the Russian battleship Retvizan, building in this country, seemed to show that armor-plate of the Krupp form made in America has the advantage in the endless contest between guns and armor. Five-inch projectiles with a striking velocity of more than 2,000 feet per second failed to penetrate more than two inches in a five-inch plate, and the projectiles—were' broken in pieces, while the plate was not cracked. A correspondent of "Figaro," writhing from Madrid, gives a very favorable account of the present condition of Spain, which he says "is making rapid progress toward recovery, after a series o~f cruel disasters.'" The tendencies to disorder have subsided; the danger of revolution has passed; under the influence of a well-balanced budget, public credit Is improving; the personal worth and practical wisdom of the queen regent have "made her the one fixed point around which all the wjshes of Spain and all the sympathies of Europe gravitate"; and her son Alfonso, who will ascend the throne in two or three years, gives fine promise of intelligence, courage, and virtue. It is noticeable that all the great generals, either of the -past or present, have been known to the public and their soldiers by some familiar nickname. Lord Roberts' sobriquet of "Bobs" is the most popular name to conjure with just now in South Africa. just as "Le Petit Corporal*' was the watchword for Napoleon's legions. Frederick the Great was dubbed by his soldiers "Our Fritz," and the duke of Wellington, who gaine-d the confidence but never the affection of his troops, was known as "Old Nosey"—an uncomplimentary allusion to.his most prominent feature—just as "Stonewall" Jackson and "Marshal Vorwarts" expressed the most noticeable characteristics of Jacksou and Biueher respectively. It is estimated that the state of Maryland lost $3,000,000 during the past season through the ravages of the pea-louse, which, Prof. W. G-. Johnson of the Maryland Agricultural college says is^an insect new to science. It belongs to the well-known group of the aphides, or plant-lice, and on account of some change in conditions ,has become suddenly abundant, appearing for the first time on the cultivated pea. It is of a green color, and only an eighth of an inch long. It sucks the juices from the leaf and stem, and the plant dies. Not only in Maryland have growers of •peas suffered, but in New Jersey, Delaware, New York, Virginia, North Carolina and Connecticut also. For- .tunately the pearlouse has many inject enemies, which played havoc with it before the close of the season. By the action of the senate in ratifying The Hague peace treaty, the United States now stands before the world as a nation no less ready to practice than to preach arbitration.- Its promptness in accepting the invitation to The Hague, the eminence of those who represented the country, its commanding position as one of the great powers of the world, and the government's well-known advocacy of •the principle of arbitration, all tend to invest the action of the senate with peculiar significance. By It Tre have npw.Oiown our good faith, and ether nations may follow. The aim of the treaty, stripped of complicating details, is merely to make peace easier and war more difficult. It cannot compel peace, for it leaves each nation free to choose a course for itself; but It seeks to render the resort to a/nur the last resort FARM AND GARDEN.

Wisconsin Horticultural Convention. Condensed from Farmer** Review Stenographic Report The Wisconsin State Horticultural Society held its annual meeting In Madison Feb. 5 to 8. The attendance was fair. The program was well followed and much matter of Interest was discussed. The session aevoted to the nursery business was taken up largely with brisk discussion on the tree peddlers. There are among peddlers honest' men representing reliable nurseries, hue there are, on the other hand, many unscrupulous men who do not stop at'anything t o gain their ends. The tree-peddling business offers many uducements' to dishonesty, as a man <a sell the most worthless of stuff and o for years without btung found out. _ ne only way to prevent the frauds complained of seems to be scattering information more fully among the people. The English-speaking farmers, or at least the Egglish-reading farmers, have become so wary that they are no longer easily caught; but the fpreignbred farmers are being caught right along, and for them there seems to be no hope of escape—they are paying the price of ignorance. One session was devoted to the discussion of the culture of small fruit. Papers were read by M. S. Kellogg, J. L. Herbst, Frank Stark, Frederick Cranefleld, A. J. Edwards and S. H. Marshall. An extended discussion followed these papers, and this jvrrH-appear Iater»in the Farmers' Review. The forestry session was one of un> usual interest. The subject was opened by B. S. Hoxie, president of the State Forestry Association. He reviewed the attempt to get a bill passed by the state legislature looking to the beginning of the work for the recovery of our forest domains, and pointed out what other states are doing in this matter. He said that New York had purchased an immense area of land in the Adirondacks at a cost of only 51 per acre, and that now is the time for Wisconsin to take steps to purchase forest lands, since they can now be obtained at a smalt price: Yrhile twenty-five years from now the cost is likely to be much greater. S. AL Ow^ns r»f Mirneaota. delivered a very instructive address on the forestry of the Old, World. He contrasted what is being done there with what Is being done here. He showed how Ger-, many, France, Austria-Hungary and Switzerland are conserving their forests with the result that they can cut a larpe amount annually without decreasing the main source of their supplies. Switzerland has made immense strides in the matter of the preservation of her forests, which are owned very largely "by the public. There the public-owned forests are much better kept and handled than are the forests that are owned by private persons. To preserve American forest* and to restore them•>it'is but necessary that a sensible system of cutting off be employed. Ernest Bruncken, secretary of the Wisconsin State Forestry Association, read an interesting paper on forestry legislation. _He_sa!d'- that the greatest obstacle, to obtaining forestry legislation is the popular misunderstanding of the term "forestry," which-Js assumed to include our parks and shade tree systems. Forestry relates exclusively to the management of trees in great masses. He said that our lands can.become reforested by simply cutting ofMhe trees and removing the rubbish to prevent fires; that nature will do the planting; but that where the ground has been eaten up by forest fires it will not be in a condition to bear trees for generations. A session was devoted to orchard trees, and papers were read by E. S. CJoff, Martin Penning, A. J. Phillipa,, G. J. Kellqgg and one was sent by O. M. Lord. Three of these papers treated of plums. The Japanese plums were condemned as being utterly unfit for use in Wisconsin. It was the belief of the convention that our hope lies in the native plums. G. J. Kellogg's paper was on top-grafting. It will appear later in the Farmers' Review. A. L. Hatch spoke on what we can do to make trees bear fruit. He believes that we must cultivate and feed our trees if we expect results, just "as much as we have to teed our animals for results. Frank Yahnke spoke on the growing of vegetables for market. He said that the man that makes vegetable growing his business must grow all kinds and put them on the market in the best shape. He must not try to grow all kinds of vegetables on the Rame kind of soil, but must give to each vegetable the kind of soil it requires. One session was devoted to the memorial addresses on J. C. Plumb, F. W. Loudon, XT. A. Thayer and Peter Gideon. Win. Toole spoke on what to plant to beautify lour school ground's. This J address >K\\\ appear later in the Farmers' Review, as will other tallr* ana discussions that enlivened tt*a nesting. The election of officers resulted to the following ' choice: President, Franklin Johnson; vice-president, T. E. Loope; secretary, J. L. Herbst; treasurer, R. J. Coe; member of trial orchard committee, L. G. Kellogg. The discussion on place of holding the next annual meeting did not result in definitely fixing the place, but the expressions were strongly in favor of Oshkosh. Italian Rye Gras*. This grass it, known scientifically as Lolium Italicum and L. Perenne. A government report says: These are among the oldest cultivated grasses, and are probably grown more widely than any others in Europe. They have been used largely in the Northern states, where they are often satisfactory, but in th? South they have not done well except In a few especially favorable locations. They succeed best on a rich, moist, sandy soil containing ) a fair amount of lime, and on such soils are fairly permauent, but on dry, thin soils and heavy clays they soon disappear. They will cover the ground sooner and make a better sward in a few weeks after planting than most' other .grasses, and are valuable where q-uick results are wanted and for covering the ground while other and more permanent sorts, like redtop and orchard grass, are becoming established. When sown alone on'rich soils their growth is so rank that the ground is soon covered with a dense mat of long leaves, which make the best of grazing or hay, but if allowed to become too dense will die and decay nfter heavy rains. While excellent fror mixing with other grasses for both pastures and meadows, they cannot be recommended for sowing alone. The most common varieties are the Italian, Pacey's and the perennial rye grasses. The per- A N3TE3 JUDGE SAVED BY PERUNA. Had Cstarrh Nine Years All Qoctors Failedennial, or English rye gras3, is the longer lived and so the best for permanent pastures. The Italian rye grass makes a ranker growth and cov ers the ground more quickly. Seed may be sown in either fall or spring, and from two to three bushels per acre are required when so.vn alone, or one bushel when sown with other grasses. HON. GEORGE KERSTEN, OF CHICAGO. Hon. Geo. Kersten, a well-known Justice of the Peace, of Chicago, says: «/ was afflicted with Catarrh for nine years. My catarrh was located chiefly in my head. I tried many remedies without avail. 1 applied to several doctors, but they were not able to cure me. I learned of the remedy, Peruna, through the daily newspapers. After taking the remedy for 18 weeks I was entirely cured. I consider my cure permanent, as it has been two and a half years since I was cured."

At a recent meeting of the St. Louis County (Mo.) Horticultural Society Professor Whitten was asked about peach trees as-4illers for apple trees. He said there were some objections to the plan inasmuch as the peach requires different treatment than the apple, especially in spraying. It is sometimes necessary to- spray apples with a mixture that would injure the peach foliage and with these two planted close together it would be very inconvenient to treat the one without more or less of the spray reaching the other. Again it usually requires more courage than most of us have to cut" out a good peach tree at the proper season. They are usually left too long. However, considering the value of lands near St. Louis, it is more important that every available iixch.be utilized and. more immediate^returns than where land can be procured for ^only a few dollars per acre and it may thereforV'he desirable to use the peach as a tiller in this locality. f Big Shipment of Pigeons.—Robt Cox shipped from Chicago on Tuesday the 17th Inst., a straight carload of pigeons to the number of 13,000, using L.

A skillful engineer can tell by the "feel" of his engine when there's a screw loose. Occasional constipaton—call it costivenes3 or biliousness—needs prompt attention. It clours the whole delicate mechanism of man, and must be removed skillfully without force or shock.

Yes, August Flower still has the largest «aU oiJUiy_J2iedicuuiin.-tlie civilized world. Your mothers «nd grandmothers never thought of using anything else fdr Indigestion or Biiiouaness. Doctors were scarce, and they seldom herd of Appedicitis, Nervous Prostration or Heart failure, etc. They used August Flower to clean out the system and stop fermentation of undigested food, regulate the ."ction of the liver, stimulate the nervous and brganic action of the system, and that is all they took when feeling dull and bad with headaches and other ache*. You only need a few doses of Green's August Flower, in liquid form, to make you satisfied there is nothing serious the matter with you. Sample bottle at F. A.

Don Gordon came out of t h e messroom pf tho regiment a t Rawal Pindl and, vaulting the horse his native servant held in readiness for him, U ok his way through tho balmy Indian, spying evening toward the pretty bungalow of Capt. Derwciit of t h e Gordon Highlanders. Don's pale, cheek was flushed, and he carried his siim young figure, in its K h a r k i uniform, with more of its old majestic awarder than hud characterized it for many weeks, for he had baen twice in hospital since -he had volun- "teere3"TrlSTn^EBnie £or_act.i_Ye seryir-?_ on the frontier with t h e first battalion ot the Sherwood Foresters. Ho had only now just recovered from a severe gunshot wound from an Afridl rifle, received whilst leading a score of his brave Derbyshire company on a foraging expedition. But t h e exhilaration of^hope more t h a n of renewed health w a s accountable for h i s springing step a n d t h o light in his large brown eyes. The British mail had brought him a letter from his cousin Roddy, which afforded htm much satisfaction, for it contained t h e announcement of Roddy's engagement to Don's sister, Diana, thereby setting a t rest forever a lurking fear in Don's h e a r t that Roddy's thoughts were centered on Capt. Derwent's fair daughter, Lillie. The "White Lily," s h e was n o t inaptly called in the cantonment,whither she had accompanied h e r father from Alrtershot some m o n t h s gone by. __.. Don rode a t a brisk canter through the lines toward t h e green compound, where teak and peupul trees rose darkly against t h e clear blue sky, and t h e red fireflies flashed in and out among the slender shafts of t h e graceful bamboos. But in t h e mind's eye of t h e soldier it was another scene which suddenly rose before him. He seemed to see a beloved and lovely landscape in fair Aberdeenshire. He heard t h e m u r m u r of a river and t h e songof thrushes from t h e privet hedgerows. He looked upon the lordly Scottish home of Gadie H a ' , to which h e had grown up from infancy to believe himself t h e heir, and h i s grip on his mare's rein tightened, a n d tho still unconquered bitterness of fierce disappointment .swept his heart anew. His mother's deathbed confession had proved his foster-brother, Roddy. to be t h e heir; but it was not against Roddy t h a t Don felt a n y personal grievance—Roddy, one of the gay Gordon Highlanders -with whom he had fought side' by sidH through t h e recant campaign of The Tirah field forced and who had heroically saved Don's life in the deadly thick of battle. No; it wTas against t h e cruelty of circumstances which h a d robbed h i m at o n e fell blow of r a n k an A wealth and that natural case so dear tw his inmost soul. For "King Don," as h i s brother officers jokingly termed him, was born to rule with a high-handed self-righteousness, and to his proud spirit disinheritance had well-nigh been more bitter than death. H i s uncle, t h e present Laird of Gadie, might stitl allow him ample mean3 o u t of t h e Gadie revenues; but to Don it w e r e small compensation" for his forfeited rights of heirship. He might yet succeed in winning t h e peerless, heiress, Lillie Derwent, for his bride; but as Don knew in his secret heart, it was only when Lillie Derwent had unexpectedly become an heir- ' ess h i s thoughts h a d ever turned to her with7 anything akin to love, and o n c e ^ l r e a d y he had well merited her rejection of his proposal. /Alas! and alas! for it w a s love's /hcutest suffering alone, was to prove to Don a t last Not to understand a treasure's worth Till time has stolen away t h e slightest good, Is cause for half t h e poverty we feel, And makes world t h e wilderness it is. As Don neared h i s destination h e rode forward more slowly, for he w a s now conscious of a little quickening of his pulse. . In t h e circle of home society, a n a l - ready disappointed m a n would scarcely return to his fair one, like a moth t o a candle, after a lapse* of months; b u t circumstanced a s h e and Lillie were, now cast for tho time being together In a foreign land, m a t t e r s seemed very different. Capt. Derwent w a s absent with t h e Held , force; LiUio w a s alone in a strange country, a t present sharing her bungalow with t h o young wldQw a n d baby boy of a n officer recently killed on t h e front, a n d t o whom Lillie's heart had gone o u t ^ l n deepest sympathy. — Don was subtly conscious t h a t the Lillie Derwent of to-day w a s a very different Lillie from t h e coquette who had toyed in t h e past with, his Cousin Roddy's boyish love, or even t h e Lillie who h a d repudiated h i s own offer ot marriage with such scorn. F o r he realized now that Lillie had come to know t h e colace ot reliance upon t h a t Divine Anchor, whose storm-tossed souls a r e never shipwrecked. Don knew himself t o be b u t a rudderless barque, drifting on a shoreless sea; but though faith awoke no responsive echo in his own heart, h e admired Lillie none the_..less for the change which h a d ' m a d e her a truer and nobler woman t h a n t h e thoughtless, somewhat heartless maiden of t h e past. Tne interest she h a d manifested in his—Don's—convalescence, a n d hi3 career altogether, lent impetus t o t h e thought that she would n o t refuse him her hand a second time. Marriage with Lillie would mean to him affluence equal t o t h e rent rolls of Gadie, and—well, h e admired Lillie a s much as Don felt it incumbent upon him to aumire any one, t o t h e exclusion of t h e overruling idol of his life, and that was self. But it was almost with t h e air of an ardent lover Don drew rein before the spacious white house surrounded by a cool veranda, between whose slender columns green blinds of split bamboo excluded t h e heat of the sun by day. "Yes, t h e meinsahib was a t home," fie was informed by t h e durwan—doorkeeper— who hurried to his summons. A gong was banged to announce a visitor, an<l thereupon another native, red-turbaned and white-caftaned, a p - peared on the threshold a n d salaamed Don Gordon through t h e white vestibule toward a delightful apartment, which proved to be untenanted. It was a veritable lady's boudoir, furnished with* European taste a n d Oriental splendor combined. On t h e walls were d c ^ e d valuable prints in English frames, w7-ch Don remembered to have adorned! Capt. Derwent's private quarters a t home. They had a touch of pathos as seen in conjunction with t h e great gilded punkah which hung overhead. About tire room were scattered t h e books a n d : thousand a n d one knickknacks which betrayed t h a t even in far northeastern India an English lady must have her drawing-room. It is her own especial kingdom, where she can gather together and enshrine in constant remembrance all the pretty trifles which make up t h e larger comforts of the mother country. Bon "Gordon, "standing fn t h e center of t h e room for an i n s t a n t irresolute, took in all the details a t a glance. Then he walked to the large window opening into a garden.' It was still light enough for the. lamps to be unlit, and the scent of t h e orm-ge blossoms a n d t h e tuberoses stole softly in on the air. He was usually self-governed to a fault; b u t t h e sight of this English room had stirred anew deep thoughts of t h a t distant Scottish home he toid himself h e could never bear to look upon again. A^silk curtain which draped the door suddenly rustled, and, turning quickly, Don found the girl h e had come to see' ' a d v a n c i n g to meet him. Lillie Derwent wore a simple gown of washing silk, which came close about her slender throat; b u t it was of spotless white, and t h e fine mold of her sloping shoulders a n d rounded arms showed dazzlingly through i t s delicate texture, and her a b u n d a n t golden hair formed a coronet with which no jewels could have vied. As hc> looked at h e r Don felt h i s heart stirred with admiration, for she was a vision of loveliness of which any m a n might be proud, much more a would-be lover. And Lillie, who shall say what were her swift thoughts of t h e tall, slim soldier, looking doubly handsome a t t h a t moment in h i s K h a r k i uniform, one hand holding his helmet, the other resting lightly on t h e hilt of hia sword. The next instant t h e helmet was laid on t h e floor, and h e w a s taking both her hands and retaining them, with an unmistakable emotion.. "I hope you don't mind me coming so awfully late. Miss Derwent; but I was on duty off and on till mess, and then some fellows detained me so long till I had simply to rush away and ride here post haste." She smiled a s she seated herself on a divan a n d motioned h i m t o a chair near her. "But, indeed, it is n o t a t alTTate, and I a m very pleaseoT t o see you, Capt. Gordon." Then s h e added, with a aplce of her old coquetry: "And what urgent necessity t h a t could n o t wait a n o t h e r day brought you here post' h a s t e ? " Don felt his breach come quicker, for; despite those visits a n d presents of fruit a n d Invalid dainties with which s h e a r e d honored h i m i n hospital, h e was not a t all sure how high In h e r esteem h e bad reached. "I J e a r I made it a point of necessity," he^answered bluntly; " b u t I h a d a letter from home today, Miss Derwent, and—and t h e fact is I couldn't sleep till I'd had five minutes' private conversation with you.

Don rose a n d drew h i s chair nearer hers; but the tete-a-tete was disturbed in a very commonplace w a y neither had thought of a t t h a t tense moment. Darkness had suddenly set in, for there is no twilight in India. A servant was noiselessly lighting t h e lamps, and t h e huge punkah h a d begun t o swing to and fro overhead to temper tho added heat. It was when-tea-and eeffee were b e - ing served Lillie broke t h e somewhat awkward silnce which had fallen upon her visitor and herself by saying sotto voce: .,. "I think o n e t h i n g t h a t makes ono appreciate Indian life is t o have one'd comforts attended t o a s these natived do it. Really, wo cannot rely upon such faithful service from o u r own countrymen." It w a s t h e . k e y n o t e for Don's waiting eloquence. " T h a t ' s r a t h e r rough on present company, is it n o t ? " he objected. "You know, o r you ought to know, Miss Derwent, I am ready t o serve you, anywhere in the wide world." She blushed crimson. "Oh, b u t you misconstrue my meaning altogether, Capt. Gordon. I w a s only talking of hired service, n o t " She stopped in some- confusion a n d hurriedly added: " N o t friendship," whilst she blushed deeper" than ever. Don p u t u p his right hand with a little gesture of languid beseeching au he poised his tiny cup of coffee in hin left palm and leaned back restfully in his softly cushioned chair, for that bright blush, which made h i s hostesn look so bewitching, h a d added much to his composure a n d confidence. Yes, she was really very pretty, a n d he was n o t sure but t h a t h e loved h e r very deeply indeed. "Don't throw t h e devotion of your slave back i n h i s face by calling it friendship?" he said. "Lillie!" H e laid down "Eis cup now, and leaned toward her to get a glimpse of t h e fair face behind t h e fan she had opened and was fluttering nervously. "Lillie. won't you believe m e ? You held my happiness in your hands; m y fife is yours t o do what you will with; but I want my wages as much a s a n y cne of your natives—I want the* gift of this hand and vhe heart that owns i t ! " He had risen now, and, standing over her, h a d imprisoned t h e white fingers t h a t held the fan with a masterful a i r -that bespoke all t h e - a r d o r of a,-determined lover. Did Lillie's thoughts lly back to another night in t h e far past, when thus another Gordon h a d stood over* her and claimed t h e love h e believed to be his? !; But this was not the same Lillie who had allowed Roddy Gordon to think her heart won t o his keeping w h o looked up now in t h e eyes of "Roddy's kinsman.

Despite i t s tenderness, t h e question lacked t h e passion for which h e r own great love clamored, and she answered it with, another, of shy hesitation: "Don. do you really, truly love m e ? " Don bent his lips to hers with a n a r - dor t h a t carried conviction with it, for the moment was full of intoxicating sweetness, a n d till now he h a d cherished h i s freedom too dearly t o know anything of t h e r a p t u r e of "love's young dream." "My darling." h e spoke, reproachfully, "don't shame me with t h e remembrance of t h a t day when I asked you to be t h e future mistress of Gadie H a ' ! " The ignominy of that hour, when Don knew he justly deserved h e r repudiation, w a s too indelibly branded upon his memory t o be ever altogether effaced.

" (To be Continued.) A Complete System of Irrigation Relieves t h e Anxiety About Bain That Prevails U Other Parte or t h e United State*—East and Jt—t Compared. We are permitted t o publish a n e x - tract from a private letter written by a gentleman who h a s recently been devoting his time to t h e personal i n - vestigation of practical farming by irrigation in the west. H i s vivid portrayal of t h e advantages of t h a t system will no doubt interest our readers. He says: "There is a vast, a n immeasurable difference between farming in the ea3t and farming in t h e west. If the farmers of.the east could only be made t o understand the advantages enjoyed by their western brethren, I verily believe there would soon be no land for settlement in the great irrigation states. The irrigation farmer h a s absolute certainty of crop, and certainty of Us perfect maturity. Ho never plants -that" he "dffes Trot reap, and when .I say reap I don't mean the reaping of scattered stands of half matured grain such as the eastern farmer cuts at th<i dose of a dry season: b u t the reaping of fields that frequently average 50 bushels of wheat to t h e acre—every grain of which h a s reached t h e perfection of development. There is n o anxious scanning of t h e skies for t h * 'cloud no larger than a man's hand' and fervent prayers t h a t it m a y e n - velop t h e heavens and send down water to the thirsty fields. The irrigation farmer never thinks about rain. He watches his growing crops, and t h e day and the hour moisture is needed, he 13 out with h i s hoe flooding his fields with water from canals that skirt them. "Everything grows In the west t h a t grows anywhere else in the United States north of Tennessee. Potatoes frequently yield 50Q bushels to t h e acre, and barley is grbwn far better than any raised in t h e east. T h e fruits are delicious. I never saw any to compare with those grown in Idaho, where apples, peaches, plums, cherries, pears, apricots abound, and where there are thousands of acres of Italian and German prune3 which I am told have made fortunes for their owner*. "To my mind, Idaho is the best watered and most inviting arid state j n the Union. I made a careful investigation of t h e great Snake River valley in that state, along and tributary to the Oregon Short Line Railroad, and saw there evidences of prosperity such as I have never seen elsewhere in t h e United State?. This wonderful valley is said to contain over 3.000,000 acres of arable land. It is threaded with great "irrigation canals in every direction, and there a r e vast tracts awaiting only t h e touch of t h e farmer t o make them productive. The sun doesn't shine on finer or mere fertile land. When I saw the happy homes, the~well filled granaries, t h e sle^k, fat stock, and the smile o n t h e face of nature TefiecteiT in"a smile of contentment on the faces of t h e farmers, my heart went oht in pity to the thousands in the east who are struggling along from year to year, toiling against adverse climatic conditions, a n d never knowing how soon a drouth will wipe out the'profits, of prosperous years. "Lands can be had in this Snake River valley almost for t h e asking. • but they are going, day by day. T h e 'Oregon Short Line is making extraordinary efforts to bring the advantages of Idaho t o t h e notice cf eastern farmers, and is flooding t h e country with conservatively written descriptions of the state. Write to the General Passenger Agent of this Railroad at Salt Lake for printed matter about Idaho, and read it carefully. It will be a revelation t o you and I sincerely b e - lieve will end in your removal to t h e west.", ' Blood Humors Are Cured by Hood's It Purifies the Blood. Cures All Eruptions.

A SUMMARY OF THE N E W S FOR THE WEEK BY WIRE. Kentucky • Governors Have BKea *>Uy Arsned and Equipped at rraatrfort and a Conflict Between Military Authorities la Looked for. To Aid and OrpkMMM o* th« to Military Scandal la Court. ~~~ The most unexpected'and sensational developments came u p in connection with the Marsh case which commenced before Judge Wiest in the I n g h a m circuit court on the 6th. I t was well understood t h a t t h e attorneys, for Gen. Marsh intended to make a strenuous fight to have the case continued until the next term and they did so. occupying nearly the entire day with their" arguments. They signally failed not only to secure a continuance, but even a postponement of t h e trial, and the court ordered the case on call for the next day. With his feeling wrought up to the hignest pitch, and maddened by the decision of the court against him, Judge Speed, of Detroit, who appeared as counsel for Marsh, dramatically announced t h a t he and his as —sociate, Mr. Pope, would w i t h d r a w from the case. J u d g e Wiest'.* denial of the request for a continuance was based on t h e facts t h a t Gen. White had been a fugitive from justice for70 days. and t h a t as time goes on it lessens the probability of apprehending him; t h a t the lost military records are not likely to be found; t h a t he is not satisfied t h a t the elder Mr. Marsh is too feeble to attend court, etc., hence the application for a continuance was denied. A large basket and veneer factory is among the industrial probabilities a t Dexter. Strong evidences of coal and oil have been discovered by farmers living near Bellevue. An independent military company has been organized a t St. Johns, w i t h 70 members. Chas Stickner. of Harrisville, w a s fined 850 and $24.50 costs for h u n t i n g out of season. G. W.

Th^e total measurement qf_ t h e snow on the level in Detroit on the n i g h t of the 5th was 26 inches. The schools at Holt have been closed by t h e local h e a l t h officer on account of the outbreak of scarlet fever. ~ Kalkaska county, at the coming spring election, will vote on the proposition to build a new 81),000 jail. I t is a sure t h i n g now t h a t Battle Creek won't get t h a t beet sugar factory she was so confident of securing. A cheese factory is being erected at- Cushing, the farmers of the vicinity having pledged the milk from enough cows to make the venture a success. Geo. P. Wanty, of Grand Rapids, will succeed J u d g e Severens on the bench, u>hen t h a t gentleman steps into a circuit judgeship position on March 15. » Union City will vote at the spring election on the proposition to bond t h e town for $8,000 for the purpose of extending the electric l i g h t i n g system.

A Norwich^ England, hairdresser achieved fame by shaving the liontamer, a colorea man, at Day's menagerie, in the lfon's den. The barber coolly entered the cage and donned his apron, the lathering and shaving being carried out.with the utmost deliberation.

It Would seem that people will never learn to_be_careTuI. The recent alarming spread of th.at dire epidemic, smallpox, throughout different sections of the country has been traced by physicians and sanitarians In many instances directly to the moldy and rotting layers of paper and paste which cover the walls of many houses. The practice of laying layer after layer of paper on_ a wall, using common flour paste, is especially calculated t o create homes for disease germs. -People could ntit do more to effect such a result if they tried. The rotting vegetable matter affords caves from which are ready to dart forth the infection a t every opportunity. There is no excuse for this practice, as walls and ceilings can be coated with a pure, cleanly and sanitary material like Alabastine, for instance, a t no greater expense. Alabastine Is a rock-base cement, which Incorporates itself with the wall or ceiling. It is easily applied, .comes ready to mix with cold water, requires no washing or scraping before renewing or retinting, is beautiful, long-lasting and safe. For walls t h a t have been infected, nothing is equal to Alabastine as a disinfectant to render them pure and clean and the rooms once more habitable. Not a Had GUARS.

She looked up in his face with a little smile that would have appeased a very martinet in love. "I am very sure that Roddy does not care a scrap nowadays for me," she said demurely, adding, with sweet contrition, "and I am not surprised, after the way I treated him. But I was only a thoughtless girl in those days, and 1 know he has forgiven me." "How long ago is it since 'those days'?" queried Don, toying with a golden strand of her hair. Her words had restored his reassurance and calm. "I try to think it is a long, long time, Don," she answered gravely, "for then I never thought of right or wrong, or how beautiful it makes life if we try to serve God rather than self. Oh," she broke off, with a thrill of emotion In her voice, "sometimes I pray I may live to be an old woman, just to try to make up for all those wasted years." "And so I, too, pray that you may, though it were only to solace the/declining years of a lost sinner like/ myself, sweet saint," he rejoined, lightly. "And now, my darling, since I know your heart is mine, beyond retraction, I can risk to tell you my news from home today. That faithles^ Roddy is about to be espoused to my sister, DI." "Oh, I am so glad—so glad!" she exclaimed, and there wa3'no mistaking the genuine warmth of her words. "You will tell him that when' you write, Won't you, Don^? And I myself will wrjtejto Di. Oh, Don, I think Di fs one of the noblest women in the whole world. But for her example I should never have learned to remember our lives are not our own." Don rose from her side with a momentary flush on his cheek. "You were not always such a little Puritan, Lillie," he rallied her, "or, don't you know, 'pon my word, I should have been afraid to think It possible you would ever look at such a reprobate as me, for—you know I am not a hypocrite, Lillie—I'm not a good fellow by any means, and, to tell the truth, I don't want to be one." It was_a bold thing fort him to say in the face of her guileless professions of faith; but love made Lillie blind to everything but the bliss of knowing he had claimed her heart forever, and that into his hands had been put the wondrous power of making his chequered life blessed. She rose, too, and put her hands out to him with a sweetness that banished all thought of alien opinion. "Some day, Don, perhapsT yor. will come to know, as I do now, that this world is not everything; and so long as you love me I am content to wait for I know that God will make it plain to you in His own good time." Don's arms closed around her with more demonstrative tenderness than he had yet shown. "My white Lily, I am perfectly certain we shall prove a model Darby and Joan, for, s.nce you will have me, what do I care for anything else?" And then he kissed her again, and murmured "sweet nothings" in her ear that brought the color flitting happily to her lovely cheek. Lastly he drew from his little finger a gold band, bearing a diamond ivy leaf, and inscribed Inside with the single word "Bydand" —steadfast—the Gordon badge and motto. And when he had placed it on the third finger of Lillie's fair hand, she repaid him by throwing her arms about his neclrand giving him the first shy kiss of love. "Oh, Don, may- we be like the ivy, and always cling close to each other. May nothing ever come- between us two!" she cried. Those words of deepest love might mayhap have fallen more fitly from the man'js lips than the girl's; but Don read in their sweet solemnity the hidden meaning of a hoped-for higher bond of union, and he only smiled considerately as he held hep-close and returned her kiss with .liberal Interest "I hope," he said playfully, "that means you never, never would be so cruel as to jilt me as you did old Roddy. There! forgive me, sweet, I'm a brute to have reminded you of those days when you were such a dear little coquette. Are you quite sure you are not afraid of giving yourself to such a jealous beggar as I am, Lillie? For you know I am jealous." "Do you know why. I didn't tell you of Roddy's e n g a g e m e n t j i l l j j t n o w that mere shawl, and a champac necklace?" he queried, laughing. But the question turned Lillie's blushing face for the instant pale. It had suddenly reminded her of Captain Derwent's favor of this would-be suitor for her hand. Prince Clement Sing, though a native of the Punjaub, had European blood i n his veins, and had lived from boyhood in England, and graduated at one of the English universities. "I wouToTnave returned the presents, but father explained to me it would give serious offense," she said deprecatingly. "ItTwas unpleasant to have to accept them; but if it is the custom of the country to give costly things like that as we give flowers and trifles at home—^-" She stopped. "I was only joking," Don interrupted her calmly. "But this reminds me, love. I shall haveii>_gfit your father's consent, I suppose, before I can ask you to name the h»ppy day? For you know of old I'm not a patient fellow, Lillie. I like things to be assured and smooth-sailing. I stick to the fine old maxim: 'If 'twere well 'twere done, then 'twere well it were done quickly'." She looked up in her tali lover's face with a piquant, dubious smile. "That sounds almost like getting over a disagreeable duty," she objected. "And I am sure my father won't want me to run away from him just yet—not till this disturbance on the frontier is over, and he is ready to take me home." For to the heart of a Briton, i n whatever foreign clime, the sacred name of "Home" belongs to the beloved British Isles alone. For answer Don drew her once more within his arms. "I can't wait for that, Lillie." And if his mastery arose more from the dogmatic will cf the man than the impetuosity of the lover, there was no doubt about his earnestness. "If you ever go back home, It must be as my wife; but, Lillie, I won't promise you I would take you. I could not bear it, for I am a homeless wanderer now." The quiver in his voice moved her profoundly. "We will make a fresh home, Don, you and I, wherever you like in the whole world," she said. Even Don, self-absorbed as was his nature, was touched by her devotion. "You are very generous, my darling, and I am going to take you at your word by asking your father to give you to me before the summer. I hope to see him in a very short time, for I have just had orders to take a relief draft of our Derbys out to join his camp to-morrow," She turned pale as her clinging gown. "To-morrow? Oh, Don, why didn't you tell me before you were going to leave meLto-morrow?" "Because ill news is told alt too soon," he answered gently. "But cheer up, child, I danTnexpect to be gone more than three or four weeks at the most." But she clung to him, with the tears swimming in «*her beautiful blue eyes. "Oh, Don, my dearest, I shall be dreading all sorts of things happening to you on the way! I used to feel so frightened when my father went out first; but now I know he is safely in camp it is different. Oh, Don!" she broke off, "if you never come back to me it would break my heart!" "My darling," he reassured her, "the tribes have surrendered, and the war is practically over. There's really nothing to be nervous about." "You must think of me killing time counting the hours which will bring me back to the dear little woman who is going to open a paradise for the poor outcast wanderer." She pat up her little hand to his lips-. "Don't call yourself that, Don. As we hope to be forgiven, forgive and forget the wrong your mother did you when she brought you up as Gadie's heir. Remember it was all for love of you she Binned." "What then, sweet pleader, would you have it that love condones a sin?" he queried, capturing the hand and covering It with kisses. "God forbid!" she answered earnestly; "but surely, because of that love, forgiveness should be easier?" Ah! how both were to remember that mTWftraaHnn In a hitter day to come? shoulders, Accompanied her lover to the veranda. The moon had risen, and in i t s clear light her lovely face, with i t s aureole of golden hair, shone radiant with its love, but quivering with the pain which this moment of farewell brought . The red fireflies were flashing, the perfume of rose and pink oleander waited from the garden on the hot air. On the far-stretching terrace of the bungalow a great adjutant bird, with its head nestling under its wing, w a s silhouetted against the silvery expanse of sky. From the prickly-pear hedge of the compound rose anon the melancholy howl of a jackal. All unconsciously, scene and hour^ were to be fixed irrevocably upon Don Gordon's memory down to the veriest trifle. He took his cloak from the native's hand, and, throwing it on, stood trifling with its clasp to prolong the exquisite fascination of the spell which had suddenly fallen upon him and'held him in Its grasp. Was it the mystic secret of love which was coming to him there on the silvery wings of the tropic night. J l e stooped at last ind.gathered_the trembling girl in a, lingering embrace. "What message shall I take to the father, little one?" "That I love you," she answered simply, "and that I only live for you both to come back to me." He sealed the confession with a passionate kiss, and tore himself away, to spring lightly to the saddle. For a n instant he paused on his prancing steed with bared head, his brown eyes bent upon her, and a smile on his moustached lips. "Till we meet again." He spoke softly then, as, kissing his hand to her, he' resumed his helmet and galloped away into the moonlit night. "Till we meet again!" She lifted her tear-dimmed eye3 to the star-spangled heavens in a mute supplication that the. Father of all would watch between him and her till that day came. Ah! she little knew what the interval held in store. I had won your dear heart? Because I didn't want to be taken buToTptty. "You need never be jealous of me any more, Don," she-said, with sweet earnestness.

It was Captain DSrwent who spoke in that decidedly aggressive tone of decision, and he whom he addressed was Don Gordon, as they strolled in company along a narrow track by the side of arwinding nullah, on their way back to mess at the Tirah camp. It was nearly three weeks since the lover had bidden Lillie farewell, and she it was who was under discussion now. Don's cheek was flushed, and his dark eyes glowed ominously as their glance followed the clouds of pale smoke from the cheroot he puffed for severaLmin=_ utes in proud silence. That he had never contemplated Captain Derwent's blunt refusal of his suit was very certain, by the easy assurance with which he had courted and won Lillie's own consent. "You say it is impossible your daughter should ever be my wife?" Don spoke at last, with painful distinctness. It was characteristic of Don's nature that he.was rarely roused to passion; but, once roused, it was deep and last-' ing; and by the pallor that had replaced the flush upon his face it was too evident he was moved to passion now. "Perfectly impossible, my dear fellow, though I hate telling you so, don't you know?" "Since you have told me so much, I should like that you will tell me more," said Don, in that calm voice that little betrayed the fire at his heart. "May I ask why it is perfectly Impossible?" "My dear sir," exclaimed the elder officer, somewhat sharply, "if your own common sense does not tell you my chief reasons, then you must pardon my being outspoken. You've said yourself you haven't a rupee beyond your pay and what your uncle, Colonel Gordon, chooses to allow you yearly. Now, honestly, do you consider you are at all a suitable match for my little girl, who. you must remember, is now an heiress. Had j o u been heir of Gadie " "Thanks," said Don curtly. "I do not need to be reminded of my reversed fortunes, and, I will confess, i should never have asked Lillie to share my poverty, ft Is only the fact of her being an heiress makes it possible she could ever become my wife." " T o n my word, sir, you're frank!" exclaimed Captain Derwent, irritated by what he deemed effrontery on Don's part. "My daughter should be honored to know that, had s h e , been a 'tocherless l a s s / as we . say in the north, you would have had none of her." He laughed, as if to pass the matter off as a joke; but he was genuine^ annoyed. "—~~ (Tu be continued.)

We hardly enjoyed our o w n jokes till she ha.'i given them the approval of her layghter. She k n e w our hopes and expeccations and In our happy selfishness we overlooked the fact that she had neither hope nor expectation. Late one winter after our dear friend had worn herself out with ineffectual tramping of the icy street In the bleak wind, she fell ill with pleurisy, and though we gave her our unremitting attention, p a w n i n g somV^pf our trinkets *.o buv her medicine, she died.

She had left J a y all of her furniture and the apparatus with which she had made her hygienic face powder, and she had bequeathed mo her quaint old clothes and a recipe.

Although not exactly a popular custom, s m o k i n g in churches has been and is more largely indulged in than is generally supposed. The custom Is Dutch, that people being m o s t inveterate smokers and rarely s^on without their pipe. They even indulge it: it In their churches,and spittoons are frequently provided for the better accommodation of those members of the congregation w h o cannot deny themselves the enjoyment of H smoke, A. similar practice e x i s t s ia several churehes-in South America, Smoking in churches in this country is said to huve been prevalent in the last years of the sixteenth a n d the beginning of the seventeenth century. At one time smoking w a s carried to such an excess in Seville Cathedral that the Chapter applied to vhe Pope for power to repress the abuse. Urban VIII., yielding to their wish, issued a bull, which w a s promulgated on January 30, 1642. In W a l e s s m o k i n g in church w a s indulged in as late a s 1850. I n o n e church the communion table stood ID the aisle, and the farmers were in the habit of putting their hate upon it, and when the sermon.b«gan they lit their pipeG and smoked, but without a n y Idea of irreverence. It is also stated that w h e n the Archbishbp of Y o r k w a s on a visitation in St. Mary's, N o t t i n g h a m , he ordered some of h i s a t t e n d a n t s to bring h i m a pipe, tobacco and some liquor Into the vestry for h i s refreshment after the fatigue of confirmation, but the rector would n o t allow It to be done.

The water that interests him IsAhat which flows, dow-. into the valley from the melting s n o w s In the mountain ranges. These waters he diverts into great canaU which run along the rim of tbovalley about the irrigable la ids and are-tapped at stated Intervals by what are called "laterals" or sub-ditches which flow from farm to farm and out of which the farmer takes the water for bis fields. In some cases the waters of these mountain streams are acquired by the community of farmers along their course, each one holding a§ many shares of stock in the co-operative Yaqul Indiana Capture a Town.

This Is the usual plan. But when the construction of the m a i n canal, owing to engineering difficulties, is too expensive a piect of business for t h e farmer to afford. Irrigation companies undertake the work and build the canal into portions of the country where large areas of land are to be reclaimed. These Irrigation c o m p a n i o n s are "common carriers" of water and furnish it for a nominal price per acre per annum to the farmer. Sometimes these Irrigation companies o w n largie tracts under their ditch which they sell in small farnig with the water right, t o settlers at a nominal prices per acre. In other instances they do not own land at all, leaving that to be acquired by the settler under the various acts of congress.

While onr villagers were slumbering Monday night a break occuredjn_^ jmiil_dam at this place and the wa+er took a sneak towards Portage lake. So quietly was it all done that no one was aware of the damage until morning. The break ocrurel ]ust east of the waste gate and it is tbooght to have been caused by rats as the water was. not high at that point and would have flowed over at the mill first as, that was kept lower on purpose to gage the raise of water. The break is about 20 feet across and ten deep. The work of repairing will begin as soon as tbe weather and ice will permit, however water enough will be turned into tbe flume in a few days to do all feed grinding and the mill has % nite a stock of flour on hand Tbos. iirkett was up and looked the matter over Tuesday and said he thought $250 would cover the damage, and he will begin at once to get material on tbe ground to repair it.

Sotytb Company of CaieafO,- ' . ; - : - . For one-third of a century' this Company has been In business. Beginning in a small-fray,.-they suppHed > their neicn~ bora in the near-by towns, each year widening their field. They are now sell" ing merchandise direct to the consumer at wholesale prices •throughout the* United StateB. Some years ago they began supplying their customers with an illustrated catalogue. As the business expanded they were obliged to Increase the sise of this catalogue, until today -it exceeds 1.000 illustrated pages, quoting the lowest wholesale prices on everything to Eat, Wear and use. By a superior process of color photography they illustrate many of their goods in natural colors, bringing out the rich color value of curtains, carpets, draperies, and the latest designs in wall Kaper, etc., thus enabling the customer undreds of miles distant to select goods at his own fireside, knowing by the description, illustration and price the class o f g o o d a he may expect. This feature oTTheir trasrness 4* becoming more and more popular each year, -for it not only savos long and- tiresome railroad Journeys but is a great time saver. It leaves out the profit of the jobbing house, the retailer, the expensive commercial traveler, the general agent, the sub-agent and thus eliminates from one tn -fuur profits, aaving this amount for the consumer^ in short, it la a "great wholesale store brought to the home. The mammoth catalogue referred to is a 20th century dictionary of economy. The illustration below shows the recent building added to this great enterprise. . The success of this Company seems incredible, considering the fact that they have advertised sn little. Their spirit of fairness and industry is the secret of this wonderful success. The quantity of goods they require in some lines enables them to handle train loads of merchandise secured at the lowest possible cost and freight rate. „ "When goods in the rough are coming from the mills and factories in the East, the lake steamers are pressed into service at a freight expense which is but little in advance of the iron ore rates.

She loves.me, and I repeat my right to claim her." Ho tossed away the stump of his cigar and turned to look at hi3 companion with haughty defiance—that proud air of majesty which had put fear and trembling into the heart of many a raw recruit, * But Captain DerwenT was ho raw recruit, but a very veteran in affairs of lovo and war, and he could afford to meet Don's calm nonchalance with an equally calm smile. "My dear c h a c I'm extremely sorry; but the child is under age just>yet, and as I happen to have mapped put a more brilliant career for her, I'm afraid 1 must emphatically veto that claim of yours." "A more brilliant career?" repeated Don, with young indignation. "Even if you are callous to my feelings, Captain Derwent^/haye you no care for Lillie's happiness? For I tell you she loves me," attested the lover proudly. "And, as frequently occurs^, it's a lady's privilege to change her mind," rejoined Lillie's father, Bmiling. "As, for example, my little Lillie's shortlived affair with your Cousin Roddy, not so many years since." \ "It is sufficiently long since to have completely changed'the Liilte of those days to the Lillte of to-day," said Don, who,N however skeptical himself of that faith Whose belief had so transformed the thoughtless Lillie of the past, was sincere ekpugh to acknowledge Its charm in hei;. "She loves me as she never loved Roddy," affirmed Don, in his imperious way; "and," he added, meeting Captain Derwent's eyes with a look that was like the flashing of crossed swords, "I mean to win her." "Don't be too sure, my friend," said the Captain, laughing. "I glvo you tho hint, you'll have Prince Clement Sing to reckon with, as well as myself." Don stopped and wheeled round upon his companion, fierce words bursting through his set teeth, an oath all the more vehement because Don's lips were not given to the utterance of them. "What do yOu mean, sir? he demanded. "That you are by no means the only fellow who has set his heart on possessing the white Lily," said Captain Derwent, uttering the pet name with airy jocularity. But Don was in no humor for joking. "I think," he said, in a proud scorn, "it is somewhat unfair to bracket me with Prince Clement Sing. I am in deadly earnest about my desire to marry your daughter." "And so is he, my good fellow—so much in earnest, in fact, that he has my permission to pay his addresses to her—may be doing so this very minute, Indeed," broke off Captain Derwent lightly. For an instant Don glared at the 3peaker in speechless amazement. 'You <cannot mean it i >> was the with a long, white ostrich feather, which suited to perfection her clearcut profile and the thick coils of her fair hair. Her light riding gauntlets were of white deerskin, and the Prince's admiration of the hand so covered- was only too evident by the pressure he bestowed upon i t He himself wore white undress uniform and a sun hat, so like a mushroom that it would have been trying in the extreme to an ordinary wearer, but Beemed to set off his dark, goodlooking features with an air of distinction. Indeed^ Prince ClementJ3ing was an acquisition to society, both in personal appearance and high Intellectual standing; and Lillie would gladly have welcomed the diversion of his company but that she was consumed by the fear that his visit portended to matters concerning herself. And she was not long in discovering such to be the case. "You did not honor the course, today, Miss Derwent. I looked for you in vain," he said. "No. I was in a modd for a solitary ride," she answered. "I trust that does not mean my presence is inopportune, dear lady?" She smiled, blushing slightly. "By no means, Prince, for now my ride is over," was her polite reply/ "Then I may venture to invite myself indoors, I hope," he queried. 'I am not quite sure if you will find, Mrs. Franklin at home," she began. But Prince Clement Sing looked straight at her, with a glance from his black eyes that brought the color flooding to her face. "Your presence is all-suCicicnt," he said, bowing low, as he swerved his horse aside to allow her to pass through the gate before him. Arrived at the bungalow, he waved the attendant back and himself assisted her to alight, a condescension which embarrassed her all the more, as the prince took occasion to command that Mrs. Franklin should not be summoned for thfi next qnartpr nf an hmir, ?IB it hoarse exclamation which at last came from 'h'iS white *HpY.' "And wherefore?" queried the other, with aggravating coolness.'"Though an Indian, he is by no means a pariah. Truth is, he-has-Irish hVae blood irv him, and could hold his own with the best of us as far as classics go. Moreover he is as rich as Croesus, has immense influence at Conn; he worships the very ground she treads on, and would make her a princess." Again Don stopped short in his walk, and now his face showed pale . as death. " "I would kill him and you too before that should, ever happen!" he cried.' * • - \ • ^ - ' c ^ A P T $ i R i y .

Her hat wa* a large white 'ttoaw, was with Lillie herself he desired a private interview. Lillie passed into the drawing room, alarmed at what she instinctively knew was to be the subject of that interview; but fearful to give offense by refusing it. And when the prince joined her it was apparent he meant to waste no time in going straight to her mission. He had left his sword and belt in the vestibule and removed his gloves, and now he took his hostess' hand and led her to a seat, with a deferential ceremony. - "Ah, there is the evening gun!" she exclaimed, for the desperate sake of Eaying something to break the strain. "In ten minutes more it will be dark-" "Ah, yes; we have no enthralling twilight^As you have in England, Miss Derwent, he answered softly, and with a tone or regret meant to be covertly flattering to her nationality. "Well, no matter, ten minutes will suffice me to say what—ah, what I would have said to you long before today, but that I feared to be precipitate." "Then I am sure, prince, it is best left unsaid still," she answered, with great earnestness. "Surely you do not forbid me to speak?* He regarded her haughtily. "I should not presume to do that," she hastily rejoined. "I merefy entreat—" "What?" he asked, with cold displeasure, for she had stopped short, flushing. "I feel sure your highness means to be kind and friendly and flattering; but —but—" Again she hesitated. Prince Clement Sing looked down, frowning, and a dark flush swept his copper-tinted face. "But you do not esteem it an honor, I presume/that I should love you?" There was asperity in his voice. "Too great an honor," she averred. His frown and flush passed. He bent towards her and took her hand. "The honor is divided," he said gallantly. "If I give you the crown of a princess, you give me the fairest flower of English maidenhood—a flower that all the jewels in India could hot buy." She tried to withdraw her hand. "Your highness flatters me too mucb; but what you ask is impossible;'' she said, very low. He rose with an air of impatience. * "Impossible, you say, and to me?" She rose also. "I venture to hope to retain your friendship, prince, as I trust you will not reject mine?" ; "FrtendtfM" | * repeats* He droflpaj*«f Jiand almost and strode tf KHj window. At last hs ttsfced. "This la insufferable!" he said, and now there was passion in his voice. 'I have your father's permission to address you, and » demand a hearing!" " "But you have.already addressed me, and I have listened," she ,ssld, trembling, but outwardly calm. "I am overcome by your highness' condescension, but I could never be your wife. I do not love you. And besides'y-rsbe looked down, blushing, at the gold band encircling the third finger of her left hand—"and besides, since my father left Pindi, I have become engaged to Capt. Gordon of the Derbys." The instant her lover's name had left her lips she regretted i t How might not a baffled suitor like the prince wield his high authority to wreak vengeance on another aspirant to her hand? But Prince Clement Sing was regarding her with a look more akin to pity than anger in his piercing eyes. "And you would relinquish the splendor I lay at your feet for Capt. Gordon?" he said, in tones of incredulity. '^Because I love him," she answered bravely, looking up info Ills face, while a wave of crimson color made her own fair features for the moment even more bewitchlngly fair to look upon. Prince Clement Sing was having hard work with himself"to-ieep his admiration within bounds, and the sight cf that blush all but overcame his self-control. But his English education had done much to subdue his naturally fiery spirit, ana he knew success lay, not in passion, but perseverance. "But, Miss Derwent, much as I admire your constancy—and, of course, so long as>you consider yourself engaged to Capt. Gordon my lips are practically closed—still, I am driven to remind you love Is not everything. Position and rank are something. A lady is privileged to change her mind." He stopped, and she seized the opportunity of speaking. "I shall never change, Prince Clement. After my God, there Is nothing ranks higher with me than love." He took her hand, smiling a little to hide his chagrin. "Then my only hope must be that love will yet take pity and yield your heart to my prayers." "Again I repeat it is impossible; but .1 thank you for the great compliment you have paid me," she Bald. "I trust, Prince Clement, you will forgive and forget me." "No, I cannot promise to forget HE LIKES WeSTBRN CANADA. Dnhamel, JaA. 24, 1900. Dear Sir and Friend—We had a lucky trip, made good conn art ions and got to Wetasklwin Monday afternoon; stayed there all night, bought a pony and saddle for the boy and hired a three-seated rig for the balance of as, and got home to dinner next day; caught the boys cleaning up and getting ready to come after us. Wednesday the snow was all gone and we had bare ground and bright sunshine -for a month, and it has been pleasant weather ever since. The ground is frozen about two feet and about six inches of snow—just enough for good sleighing. We had one cold spell in December. The thermometer went down to 83 below zero, but we did not suffer with, the cold at all. We have worked every day all winter, are all well and feeling well; have built a log house 18x18, two log stables 16x18, and are now busy on a well. We have 10 cows, three other cattle and six head of horses. The boys send their best respects to Mr. Huchison, and say they will talk to him enough to pay for not writing when he gets up here; will write you again next spring and tell you all about the winter. We all unite in sending you and family our best wishes and respeeia and hope this will find you all well. Yours very respectfully, • (Signed) THOMAS TATE, Duhaael,Alberta, Canada. P.

"If I can ever be «of service to you, you may rely on me," he said. And bowing low again in response to Lillie's farewell, he passed from the room with steady steps and head erect. But hidden deep down in his breast was the gathering fury of a maelstrom. Within the drawing room, Lillie went to the window overlooking the terrace, and, screened by the bamboo and silk curtains, watched him mount and ride away. Her heart was beating wildly, not with exultation at the honor the prince had done her, and which, not so many years ago, would have filled her coquettish vanity with delight— no; but with strange feelings of unrest, with regret, and with presentiment of evil. She fell on her knees in the gathering "da^TcmBssT^anoTa" came over her for Hogs, like humans, often squeal when they are not hurt. "Oh! U o w Happy I Am."

Senator Foraker is still unwilling to go any further than to accept an amendment allowing all food products to be imported into Puerto Sico from the United States free of duty. . Senator Aldrich is still hopeful that some compromise may be reached. The plan ad' vocated by some senators is to have the pending bill amended by cutting the tariff feature entirely loose from the general government bill and attaching it to the Puerto Riean relief appropriation bill so amended as to permit all imports from the United States into Puerto Rico free of duty and to reduce the duty* on Puerto Rican goods imported into the United States below the .proposed 15, per cent of the Dingley still preserve the principle at the bot torn of th6 pending bill and would enable a test case to be made before the supreme court to determine the question as to the power of congress to inv . / TALMAGE'S SERMON.

Corinthians yii., 31. "They that use this world as not 'abusing it." My reason for preaching this discourse is that X have been kindly invited by two of the leading newspapers of this country to inspect and report on two of the popular plays of the day—to go some weeks ago to Chicago and see the drama "Quo Vadis" and criticise it with respect to its moral effect and t6 go to New York and see the drama "Ben-Hur" and write my opinion of it for public use. Instead of doing this I propose in a sermon to discuss what we shall do with the dramatic element which God has This, it i s contended, would | implantnri In truiTiy nt nnr natures, not in 10 or 100 or 1,000, but in the vast majority cf the human race. Some people speak of the drama as though it were something built up outside of ourselves by the Congreves and the PQ6e-dulics^n_commerce between^ the_ Goldsmiths and the Shakespeares and Uuited States and insular possessions. ' """ ~ ~ The likelihood that congress will hot at this session a^rree on an army reor- . ganlzation measure, on account of the conflicting interests involved and the powerful opposition manifested in various quarters to certain features of Secretary Root's comprehensive reform proposition, has alarmed the authorities over the possible failure of the plan to increase the artillery to a strength commensurate with the ordinary care and maintenance of the sea cojist defense works already established, and an effort is under way to separate the artillery clauses, which are-fcll wholly unobjectionable, from the other portions of the house and senate bills which are sure to lead to long and stubborn controversy. According * o Gen. Miles1 estimates over 18,000 men are urgently needed to keep the present batteries from rapid deterioration. The artillery strength today is only about 10,000 men. The following bills were passed by the house on the 12th: An urgent deficiencybill carrying $1,439,580; a bill to authorize a term of the U. S. court, —western district of Virginia, to be-held at Charlottesville, Va.; an important , bill to extend the placer mining laws of the United States with certain modifications to shore rights, beaeh workings, etc., in Alaska. The bill is designed to meet the conditions obtaining "at Cape Nome. Mr. Lacey (la.), chairman of the committee, said that the bill was endorsed by the Alaskan authorities and the miners generally. An amendment was adopted prohibiting corporations from locating claims. A bill xv&s also passed to attach the -eennty of Foaxd to the Fort \V'orth~dt=- vision of the northern district of Texas. The text of the Puerto Rican bill passed by the senate on the lGth is a* follows: Be it enacted, etc, that the sum of $2,095,455 being the amount of customs revenue received on importations by the United States from Puerto Rico since the evacuation of Puerto Rico by the Spanish forces on Oct. 18; 1898, to Jan. 1, 1O00, shall be placed at the disposal of the President, to l>e used for the government now existing, and which may hereafter be established in Puerto Rico and for public education, public works and other governmental and public purposes therein, and the said sum, or so much as may be necessary, is hereby appropriated for the purposes herein specified, out of any money in the treasury not otherwise appropriated., The gold standard financial bill was passed by the senate on the 13th.. and now only awaits the President's stgmrture'to make it_l£w. When this bill becomes a law the money question will be forced out of politics as a practical issue for at least six years, as the maintenance of the gold standard is made a matter of legislative dictation and is not at the discretion of anybody, and silver as a live issue is shelved for some time to come. Shortly after noon on the Hth President McKinley affixed his signature, and the bill became a law.

Not at all. The drama is an echo from the feeling which God has Implanted in our Immortal souls. It is seen first in the domestic circle among the children three or four years of aga.playing with their dolls and their eradles and their carts, some ten years after in the playhouses of wood, ten years after in parlor charades, after that i n ' t h e elaborate impersonations ia_the academies of music. Thespis and Aeschylus and Sophocles and Euripides merely dramatized what was in the- Greek heart. Terence and Plautus and Seneca merely dramatized what was in tlje Roman heart. Congreve and Parquhar merely dramatized what was in the English heart. Racine, Corneille arid Alfieri only dramatized what was in the French and Italian heart. Shakespeare only dramatized what was in the great world's heart. The dlthyrambic and classic drama, the sentimental drama, tjie romantic drama, were merely echoes of the human soul. I do not speak of the drama on the poetic shelf, nor of the drama in the playhouse, but I speak of the dramatic element in your soul and mine, We make men responsible for it, but not for the original implantation. God did that work; and I suppose he knew what he was about When he made us. We are nearly all moved by the spectacular. When on Thanksgiving day we decorate our churches.with the cotton and ths-iice and tire apples and the wheat and the rye and the oats, our gratitude to God-is stirrel When on Easter morning we see written in letters of flowers the inscription, "He Is'Risen," our emotions are stirred. Every parent likes to go to the school exhibition with its recitations and its dialogues and its droll costumes. The torchlight procession of the political campaign is merely the dramatization of principles involved. No intelligent man can look in any secular or religious direction without finding this dramatic" element revealing, unrolling, demonstrating itself. What shall we do with it? Shall we suppress it Ycu can as easily suppress its Creator. You may direct it, you may educate it, you may" purify it, you may harness it to multipotent usefulness, and that it is your duty to do. Just as we cultivate the taste for the beautiful and the sublime by bird haunted glen and roistering stream and cataracts let down in uproar over the mossed rocks, and the day lifting its banner of victory in the east, and then setting everything on fire as it retreats through the gates of the west,and the Austerlitz and Waterloo of an August thunderstorm blazing their batteries into a sultry afternoon, and the round, glittering tear of a world wet on the cheek of the night —as in this way we cultivate our taste for the beautiful and sublime, so in every lawful way we are to cultivate the dramatic element in our nature, Surgeon-Gen. Sternberg has received, ** every staccato passage in literature, by antitheais^atra synthesis, by every tragic^pas^age In human life. ow, I have to tell you not only that God has implanted this dramatic element in our natures, but I have to tell you in the Scriptures he cultivates it, he appeals. to it, he develops it. I do not care where you open the Bible, your eye will fall' upon a drama. Hers it is in the book of Judges, the fir tree, the vine, the olive tree, the bramble— they all make speeches. Then at the A cable message from Gen. Otis says^l close of the scene there is a coronation, mm*i*m~^^ poor could not affect ms as a little drama of accident and suffering I saw one slippery morning la the streets of Philadelphia Just ahead of me waa a lad, wretched in apparel, his limb amputated at the knee; 4 r o * the.pallor of the boy's check, the amputation not long before. He had a package of broken food under his arm—food he had begged, I suppose, at the doors. As he passed on over the slippery pavement, cautiously and carefully, I steadied him until hie crutch slipped and he fell. I helped him up as well as T could, gathered up the fragments Of the package as well as I could, put them -under one arm and the crutch under the other arm. But when I saw, the blood run down his pale cheek I burst into tears. Fifty essays about the sufferings pf the poor could not touch one like that little drama ot accidenfand suffering. Oh, we want in all our different departments of usefulness more -of the dramatic element and less of tlfe didactic. The tendency, in this day is to drone religion, to whine religion, to cant religion, to moan religion, to croak religion, to sepulcharize religion, when we ought to present it in anlnated and sptiulaeirl and the bramble is proclaimed king; That is a- political drama. Here it 1s in the book of Job: Enter Ellphaz, Bildad, Zophar, Elihu and Job. The opening act of the drama, all dark* ness; the closing act of the drama, aii sunshine. Magnificent- drama is the book of Job! Fifty essays about the sorrows of the I Let me say to all young ministers of the gospel: If you have this dramatic element in your nature, use it for God and heaven. If, you will go home and look over the history of the "church," your will find that those menr have brought more souls to Christ who have been dramatic. Rowland Hill, dramatic; Thomas Chalmers, dramatic; Thomas Guthrie, dramatic; John Knox, dramatic; Robert Mc- Cheyne, dramatic; Christmas Evans, dramatic; George Whitefleld, dramatic; Robert Hall, dramatic; Robert South, dramatic; Bourdalou, dramatic; Fenelon, dramatic; John iMason, dramatic. When you get into the ministry, if you attempt to cultivate that element and try to wield it for God, you will meet with mighty rebuff and caricature, and ecclesiastical counsel will take your case in charge, and they will try to put you down. But the God who starts you will help you through, and great will be the eternal rewards for the assiduous and the plucky. What we want, ministers and laymen, is to get our sermons and our exhortations and our sprayers out of the old rut. The old hackneyed religious phrases that come snoring down through the centuries will never arrest the masses. What we want today, you in ycoir sphere, and I in my sphere, is to freBhen up. People do not want in their sermons the sham flowers bought at the millinery shop, but the japonicas wet with the morning dew; not the heavy bones of extinct megatherium of past ages, but the living reindeer caught last August at the edge of Schroon lake. We want to drive out the drowsy, and the prosaic, and the tedious, and the humdrum, and Introduce the brightness and the vivacity, and the holy sarcasm, and the sanctlflpri wit, and the epigrammatic power^ and the blood red earnestness, ana the fire of religious zeal, and I do not know of any way of doing it as well as through'the dramatic. But now let us turn to the drama as an amusement and entertainment. Rev. Dr. Bellows of New York, many years ago, in a very brilliant but much criticised sermon, took the position that the theater might be renovated and made auxiliary to the church. Many Christian people are of the same opinion. I do not agree with them. I have no idea that success is in that direction. What I have said heretofore 6n this subject, as far as'l remember, is my sentiment now. But today I take a step in. advance of my former theory. Christianity is going to take full possession of this world and control its-maxims, its laws,, its literature, its science and its amusements. Shut out from the realm of Christianity anything and you give it up to sin aud death. If Christianity is mighty enough to manage everything but the amusements of the world, then it Is a very defective Christianity. Is it capable of keeping account of the fears-of the world and incompetent to make record of its smiles? Is it good to follow the funeral, but dumb at the world's play? Can It control all the other elements of our nature but the dramatic element? My Idea of Christianity is that it can and will conquer everything. In the good time coming, which the world calls the golden age and the poet the elysian age and the Christian the millennium, we have^ positive announcement that the amusements of the world are to be under Christian sway. "Holiness shall be upon the. bells of the horses," says one prophet. So, yon see, it will control even the sleigh rides. "The city shall be full of boys and jflrls playing in the streets thereof,'! says another prophet. So, you see, it Is to control the hoop rolling and the kite flying and'the ball playing.. Now, what we want is to hasten :that time, How-will it be done? By the church going over to the theater? It will not go. By the theater coming to the church? It will, hot come. What we' want is a reformed' amusement association _ in every c t t y and town of the United States. Once an-, nounced and explained and illustrated. a - the Christian and philanthropic capitalist will come forward to establish it, and there will be public spirited men everywhere who will do this work for the dramatic element of our natures. We need a new institution to meet and recognise and develop and defend the dramatic element of our nature. / It needs to be distinct from everything that is or .has been. I would have this reformed amusement having in charge this new institution of the spectacular take possession of some hall or academy. It might take a smaller building at the start, but it would soon need the largoct hall, and even that would not hold the people; for he who opens before the dramatic element in human nature an opportunity of gratification without compromise and without danger does the mightiest thing of this century, and the tides of such an institution would rise as the Atlantic rises at Liverpool docks. * * * I would go to such an institution, such a spectacular. I should go once a week the rest of my life and take my family with merand the majority -of the famllioo of the earth would go to such an institution. I expect the time will come when I can, withqut bringing upon myself criticism, without being an -inconsistent Christian, when I, a minister of the good old Presbyterian church,-a m be able to go to some new institution like this, the spectacular, and see "Hamlet", and "King Lear" and the Merchant of Venice," and the "Hunchback" and "Joshua Whitcomb." Meanwhile many of us will have this dramatic element unmet and unregaled. For my love of pictures I can go to the art gallery, for my love of music I can go to the concert, for my love of literature I can go to the lyceum lecture, but for this dramatic element In my nature, as strong as any qther passion of the soul, there is nothing but injunction and prohibition. Until, sirs, you can establish a spectacular or a similar institution, with as much purity and with as much entertainment as this one of which I speak—until you can establish some such institution you may thunder away against evil amusements until the last minute of the last hour of the last day of the world's existence, and without avail. The amusements of life are beautiful and they are valuable, but they cannot pay you for the loss of your aoul. I could not tell your character*, I could not tell your prospects for this world or the next by the particular church you attend, but if you will tell me where you were last night, and where you were the night before and where you have been the nights of the last month, I think I can guess where you will spend eternity. As to the drama of your life and mine, it will soon end. There will be no encore to bring us back. At the beginning of that drama of life stood a cradle, at the end of it will stand a grave. The first act, welcome. The last act, farewell. The Intermediate acts, banquet and battle, processions bridal and funeral, songs and tears, laughter and groans. It "was not original with Shakespeare when he said, "All the world's a stage and all the men and women merely players." He got it from S t Paul, who fifteen centuries before that had written, "We are made a spectacle unto the world and to angels and to men." A spectacle In a coliseum fighting with wild beasts In* an amphitheater, the galleries full, looking down. Here we destroy a lion. Here w« grapple with a. gladiator. When we fall, devils shout. When we rise, angels sing. A spectacle before gallery above gallery,, gallery above gallery. Gallery of our departed kindred, looking down to see if we are faithful and worthy Of our Christian ancestry, hoping for our victory, wanting to throw us a garland, glorified children and parents, with cheer and cheer urging us on. Gallery of the martyrs looking down— the Polycarps and the Rldleys and the McKails and the Theban legion and the Scotch Covenanters and' they of the Brussels market place land of Piedmont— crying down from the galleries. "God gave us the victory, and he will give It you." Gallery of angels looktog down—cherubic, seraphic, archangelic— clapping their wings at every advantage we gain. Gallery of the King from which there waves a scarred hand and from which there comes a sympathetic voice saying, "Be tliou faithful unto death, and I will give thee a crown of life." Oh, the spectacle in which you and I are the actors! Oh, the piled up galleries looking down! Scene: The last day. Stage: The rocking earth. Enter: Dukes, lords, kings, beggars, clowns. No sword. No tinsel. No crown. For footlights: The kindling flames of a world. For orchestra: The trumpets that wake the dead. For applause: The clapping floods of the sea. For curtain: The heavens rolled together as a scroll. Fo/ tragedy: "The Doom of the Profligate.' For the last scene of the fifth act: The Tramp of nations across the stage, some to the right, others to the left. Then the bell of the Jast thunder will ring, .and the curtain vrUi dropJ . .^ ...

Criticise the Mormons as you wllL, they-must be cj^edttfd^itltt^thjB, wonderful^ system of irrigation by which the wastes of U e ws#taj^ spates have been redeemed. Qp t July 24, 1847, Brigham Young and j ^ little band of pioneers began the cojnjtructipn of the first irrigation canal ever built in the United States. Irrigation made of CftaVs desert wilderness the garden spot of America. It is doing as much for Idaho, where the mountains are so located that ample valleys, and plains- of millions of acres, may be easily and economically watered. On the Nile, in Italy, Spain and elsewhere in Europe, irrigation has prevailed for centuries. Indeed, 60 per cent of the world's breadstuffs and cereals are grown by irrigation. Where "the vine-clad hills arid citron groves" around Vesuvius in sunny Italy are foun/J, a great population has T>een iustainea ior many ' thousand years—and the land has never worn out—its wotfderful vitality being due? to underlying strata of lava which by some curious chemistry renders the soil immortal. Idaho's wonderfully productive soil covers lava strata deposited by volcanoes longlago extinct. The rejuvenation of the land results not alone from this lava, but from rich fertilizers annually brought to it by the irrlgatloa waters. It is almost an aphorism that tend'is good where sage brush grov3. Marvelous must therefore be^ the fertility of Idaho, for everywhere the green of the sage is seen. Wheat.corn, oats, barley, alfalfa, timothy, rye, flax, tobacco, broom corn, sorghum, sweet and Irish potatoes, beets, cabbages, hops, and fruits, such as prunes, apples, pears, plums, peaches, cherries, apricots, nectarines, grapes and all of the small bush products, grow profusely. Particularly do the apple, pear and prune attain to perfection in size and flavor. Alex. McPherson of Boise City realized $600 per acre from apples. Geo. L. Hall of Mountain Home'sold $800 worth of peaches from one acre. T. J. Phifer of Boise City realized $91)0 from two acres of Italian prunes. Instances like these can be multiplied ad Infinitum. But Idaho does not depend entirely upon agriculture. Its mountains are filled with mining camps which furnish a home market for far more agricultural products than the stato is now able to produce. . Snake River Valley contains about 3,600,000 acres and some of the finest pastoral scenes there presented are in the midst of gold placer mining operations. Many farmers there realize handsomely for work during spare hours—washing shining powdered gold from the river's bed. In a state having so many productive portions to select from it Is hard to suggest particular locations, but settlers will find room for any number of new homes. . Different state and.private agencies are sending out printed information about Idaho. Perhaps the,most conservatively prepared matter is that now emanating from the general passenger agent of the Oregon Short Line at Salt Lake City, Utah. This railroad permeates almost . every agricultural region in the^state, and stands ready to furnish to horaeseekers' every courtesy1, \pt the power -of its officers. At the present rate Idaho will eoon be as/thickly populated &s Utah. It iain.the^samalKtttu^jaarF^aace, Switzerland, Portugal, Spain and It%ly, and its climate Is incomparable. Vast timber areas furnish lumber of excellent quality. Cyclones and destructive storms never occur. The winters are short and people-, work out doors all the year. The annual death rate is the lowest of any state in the* Union. , ^. Vet^ly.Idano'J^ aijwonderfestate and destined to' become, the/^ath&place of many times its.preset*^AipSKaftion.

Mndleen S t , A l l CHICAOO.IU. TRAMVAAL WAH I T E M S . Lord Salisbury has at last adopted the slogan < at • Mr. Chamberlain, "the Boer republics must go." His ascendancy in the British government is complete. Even Mr. Chamberlain regards him as tha final authority in British foreign policy, and would not attempt to push even a pet doforine to extremes against the premier's objections. Lord Salisbury enjoys the unchallenged confience of the crown, the government, parliament and the nation. The an* swer he gave to the Bloemfontein note asking a definition >of the conditions upon wnich peace could be secured expressed' his unalterable conviction of the necessities of the case. The mbunted force from Eimberley proceeding to the relief of Mafeking has arrived at Warren ton. As the force neared Windsorton the Boers evacuated the town, blowing up the bridges. It is reported that the rebels whoN refused to accompany the Transvaalers when the latter vacated Taungs and Vryburg are preparing to trek into Damara- ^land on the approach of the British, 'but that the Hottentot chiefs are getting ready to bar their escape. Another plot to free the Boer: prisoners at Simonstown was discovered on the 14th. The remarkable ^quantities of watermelons received "by the prisoners aroused comment and an investigation discovered that compromising letters_ were contained in the melons, the writers planning the escape of the captives. The transports bearing the bulk of the prisoners sailed for St. Helena shortly after the plot was made known to the British officials. The British troops under Lord Methuen have returned to Kimberley from the occupation of Bushof, Orange Free State. Guns and 70,000 rounds of ammunition were seized and a strong garrison was left to guard the town. Six Boers were arrested there on charges of treason. Nearly all the residents were wearing mourning, as the Bushof commando lost 200 men at the battle of Belmont. Events have occurred recently which induce some to predict that the war will last only so long as i t takes to march to Pretoria. The educated Boers, even the Transvaalers, are ready to accept the inevitable. A corps of 2,000 women has ,been formed at Pretoria. It is called the Amazon Corps. All the members are uniformed in kilts and are armed. A great popular demonstration took place at Cape Town on receipt of the news that Bloemfontein had been occupied by the British. All the church bells were rung and A procession headed by the union jack, went to the government house, where Sir Alfred Milner made his acknowledgments. A dispatch from Bloemfontein, dated March 10< says: "We are getting l'ifles surrendered faster than a factory could turn them out. It is quite certain that if a British official can reach the northern laagers with Lord Robert's proclamation, the whole Boer population will declare for peace. Gen.

It is learned from a reliable source that President Kruger, through the consuls at Pretoria, has appealed for the intervention of the great powers in the Transvaal war, and has also appealed to ^he governments of Belgium, Holland and Switzerland. The chief of the intelligence department, Molengraaf, announces that the Boer losses prior to the relief of Kimberly and Lady smith were: Killed, 077; wounded, 2,129. Accidents, sickness and other disabling causes, he asserts, bring the total to 4,351. A dispatch from Lord Roberts dated Venters Vlei, March 13, says: Gen. French now occupies two hills close to the railway station at Bloemfontein. A brother of President Steyn has been made a prisoner. The British casualties during the engagement on the 10th were: Killed or missing, 60 or 70; wounded, 321. T H E M A R K E T S . LIVK STOCK. New York— Cattle Sheep Lamb* Besagradei.

Selling as we do MORE CARPETS THAN ALL THE RE§T OF JACKSON COMBINED, we are in position to give the very best values of *ny house in the trade. We ask no person to take our say on this, all we ask is a comparison of values. A Carpet is an important thing—it lastsror will last, if you buy it right, many years. It is either a thing of beauty and a pleasure every day of your life, or else it is a 4'sore spot'' continually. A ba(J purchase in a horse can be swapped 'off; a pair of shoes, a suit of clothes, a #ress or a hat can be laid aside; but a Carpet turnes its face up to you 365 day& a yeart and you can't cover it up or swap it off—so buy it carefully, make no purchases until you have carefully looked through every other stock in Jackson and then look carefully through, this stock—this is justice to youmejfc' We ask you to give us no better show/than you give to every other store.

I - Ms rah Trial k U OtmneDecd. T h e trial of Gea. Arthur F. Marsh, ot Allegan, charged w i t h being an acceeso^ y w i t h Oen. White in the embezzlement of*'foods from the' state, was commencdat Lansing on the 30th and received a good start. A Jury was ac- •cepted by both aides at 3:30 o'clock, after 22 out of * panel <xi 39 had been examined, Previous to this the attorn e y s for1 the defendant made several motions asking for a continuance of the case, Jbnt Judge Weist in each case turned tnem down. Exceptions were taken. After a legal tilt, the cases of Marsh and White were separated, the jury was sworn and Prosecutor Arthur Tuttle made his opening address. He outlined to the jury what the prosecution expects to prove. His opening reviewed the entire military deal. Geo. Whit* Heard From. The mystery concerning the whereabouts of Gen. W. L. White, the fugitive quartermaster-general of the —Michigan National Guard, was solved o n the morning of the 20th, when an intimate friend of the missing man received a letter from him, written in Cape Town, Cape Colony, South Africa, and dated February 19. When White left Grand Rapids he went to Chicago, and from there he Went to New Orleans. Here he learned the British government were shipping mules to South Africa and after a talk with the agents he hired out as foreman of one •of the ships about to sail. During the long voyage of 36 days W h i t e had plenty of time to reflect, and says he is now sorry he did not remain in Michigan and fight it out. He says he is innocent of any wrongdoing; that he wants to see the state squared up, and w h a t money he has and can make will jgo to that end. Gov. Piagree Quizzed. The feature of the second day of the trial o f Gen. A. F. Marsh at Lansing was the introduction of an order issued by Gov. Pingree, autbrizrag Quarterjnaster- Generai W. L. White to advertise for bids to equip the national .guard. The governor, on the witness stand, admitted the genuineness of the order, but remembered but few of the facts snrroumdhig- the same, except that the national yuarri was badly in need of equipment. The efforts of the defense were directed to show t h a t Gen. Marsh implicitly trusted Gen. White and accepted his word regarding military board affairs without question. The letters of Gen. Marsh and Col. Sutton, asking Attorney-General Oren for an opinion as to the proper way to dispose of the surplus military stores purchased uadee the Spaaish war <und .act, were introduced a s evidence. TlilTd P a y , Owing to the necessity of establishi n g the guilt of Gen. White as a neces- «3ry adjunct to the Marsh t»rial, rather «low progress was made by the prose- <. cution on the 83d, as much of the time was taken up with placing in evidence and reading to the jury the correspondence that passed between the quartermaster- general's office and the U ender- «on-Ames Co., in connection with the_ 4fake sale to the Illinois Supply Co., •and the subsequent buying of the same goods from the Henderson-Ames Co. Col. Smith was t h e only witness on the .-stand, and he gave some interesting testimony regarding the methods that Avere employed i n willing and buying t h e goods, and the somewhat intricate details that were worked out in order tto cover up the fraud. . Fourth p § x t „ . , „ . . . It is expected that the next sensation in the military fraud -case j v i l l be the arrest of Samuel N. Bickerstaff, the principal witness^ fdfr t h e prosecution in the trial of Gen. Marsh. For some time it has been ruindred that J£ Bickerstaff swore that he paid any of the alleged conspirators any money either in Grand Rapids or'Detroit as profits'of the allege*! fraudulent deal, the defense would* have him arrested on a criminal charge, based on that transaction. • This testimouy was given by Bickerstaff on the 33d, and it • Is stated o n absolutely reliable authority that Marsh himself Btated that he would have to spend a certain day in Detroit in order to'assist in carrying out this plan. He furthermore stated, according to this authority, that both Gov, Pingree and Prosecuting Attorney Frazer of Wayne county had been consulted concerning the matter. By placing Bickerstaff under arrest the defense evidentally intends to break the force of his evidence as much as possible. Echoea of th« Marsh TrUl. The most important witness on the second day of the trial w a s Adjt,-Gen. Case, president of the military board. Notwithstanding the fact that aH meet' Trigs of the board were supposed to be called by him, he testified that it was not until he appeared before the grand jury the past winter that he learned that a special ^meeting w a s held in Grand Rapids, July 17 last, at which the resolution authorizing the sale of the military goods was adopted. He also swore that it was not until the last Friday in^August that heitTarnedof the sale of the goods, and then White mentioned the sale in the course of a conversation. He further stated that had he attended the meeting he never should have voted to sell the goods for the ridiculously low price of $10,500. He admitted, when quizzed by the attorney for the defense, that he had im- Slicit confidence in White's word, and new of no reason why he should not have had. Col. Sutton is confident he will be able to account for all of his deposits and withdrawals of money mentioned by Prosecutor Tuttle on the first day of the trial. He says he will account for the 85,800 deposit by the testimony of a dozen of the best business men of Detroit, and that, although the 81,350 was a confidential fund, it" will also be accounted for satisfactorily. His wife's deposits, he says, will be accounted for fully !n the ordinary course of business. The colonel does not understand why the proscutor does not account for the disposition of the third installment of of $4,000, which he claims Bickerstaff paid White the day previous to the de- A, T ; ~~ Fourth Dmy. ' " "; B. N. Bickerstaff, of the Henderson- Ames Co., Kalamazoo, and Col. H. A. &mith, assistant quartermaster-general, were the star witnesses for the prosecution in t h e Marsh trial on the iourth day. Smith, testified regarding t h e $69» wedding present he received from Marsh, Sutton and White, and declared that he w a s repeatedly warned t o keep silent before the grand jury^- l i e materiaUy strengthened the prose- •cutlon's case. To the surprise of all, t h e defense decided not to cross-exami n e him. Bickerstaff related in detail h i s connection and that of his firm with the alleged fradnlent deal; how White haggled over the profits to go to 3iis firm; h o w this point was finally •settled; how the goods were shipped to Chicago and back to Kalamazoo, retagged and s e a t to Lansing; how he -carried t h e state's cash to Grand flapida, delivering- i t to Gen., White, w h o gave Gen. Marsh a bunch of bills. •The various meeting* of the alleged ^conspirators and their connection with •sthe I'deal," were related. Bickerstaff *nay not be cross-examined. — " • ~ — ~ - « .

It is altogether probable that this will be done to a large extent before the case is concluded, at least to the satisfaction of the prosecution. By Bickerstaff's testimony on the 23d it was shown that the military goods were re-shipped from Chicago to Kalamazoo in the same four cars in which they left Lansing, the seals not even having been broken. Here the goods were unpacked and classified. Some of them had originally been sold to the state by the Henderson-Ames Co. and bore that company's tags and labels. For this reason Bickerstaff suggested to White the advisability of having the Henderson-Ames Co.'s tags put on all the goods, and buttons bearing their stamp substituted for those bearing stamps of other makers. Whiter he said, consented to this arrangement and agreed to pay for doing the work. Bickerstaff also swore that on a Saturday early in September he made a trip to Grand Rapids, carrying something more than. $25,000 in a satehel, consisting of both gold and currency. White and Marsh were at the station t o meet him, and th'e three' went to the military club, where they took a private dining room. White first took o a t the statement covering the remittance. "He~accepted the count of gold as correct, but couuted the packages of currency. When this was done, Bickerstaff swore, White handed Marsh a portion of the currency. The witness could not swear to the exact amount, but said the bundle handed Marsh appeared to contain quite a quantity of bills.

When Judge Field passes on these two points, depositions on which are now being taken, the next step will be an appeal by the Republicans to the court; of appeals. ~* A Negro's Horrible Crime. A Negro, Tom Jones, commonly known as "Preacher" Jones, on the morning of the 22d murdered Ella Jones and her oldest daughter Ida, and then set fire to- the beds in which lay the bodies of his victims and four sleeping children ranging in age from a babe one month old, to the largest boy who was not more than five. The crime was committed at Garners, a litt l e town, five miles east of Raleigh, N. C , and the work was done with an ax. The murderer, according to the story of little 7-year-old Laura Jones, who escaped with her-younger sister, deliberately struck the mother four times and then made two cuts into the body of the oldest child. He then fired the house and it was completely destroyed. The body of Ella Jones and that of Ida, the 13-year-old child, were burned beyond recognition. F rich-Carnegie Trouble Settled. It was learned on the 22d from one in close touch with the Carnegie Co. that the new organization will be capitalized at $350,000,000. This cannot be definitely confirmed, but the authority is considered reliable. The same gentleman says Mr. Frick will remain in the new company in the same relative position he held just previous to the bringing of his suit. J as. B. Dill, who is said to have acted as legal adviser, mediator and referee during the Atlantic City conferences between the Carnegie and Frick interests, left Orange, N. J., on the 23d for Pittsburg. It is said he took with him the articles of the new company, which is to merge all the Frick and Carnegie interests. Gored to Death by a BulL The mutilated bodies of E. C.

In the United States supreme court an opinion was handed down on the 19th in the case of the Waters-Pierce Oil Co., involving its rights to do business in the state of Texas, contrary to the provisions of the state anti-trust laws of 1889 and 1895. It was charged among other things that the Waters- Pierce Co. was a member of the Standard Oil trust, as organized in 1882, and various Other' allegations were made; but the court did not enter upon a general diseussion of trusts, contenting itself with a decision of the law as applicable to this case. 9187,000 Gold Statue.

Mr. Steyn immediately issued a counter proclamation declaring the Free State intact! It is rumored that M B . Kruger and Mr. Steyn will meet a t Kroonstadt i n the Orange Free State, o n April 4, to discuss the future program* The feelingbet ween the TransvaaL and the Free State is very bitter. It is reported from Pretoria that a* scheme has been arranged for the amalgamation of the Transvaal and t h e Free State. Kruger will become pres», ident of the federated states, and Steyn commandant-general of the Boer army. The flag will be the same as that of the Transvaal, with an additional Orange color. Although this story is not confirmed, it is not improbable. The German'press at Berlin, in com-' menting upon the war situation in the' Transvaal, says: It would be a jastU liable act for the Boers to blow up thej mines, since it would prevent the authors of the war, which the w h o l e world has declared criminals, from securing the rewards of victory. 1 A dispatch from Bloemfoutein says; The late allies are now bitter foes. So strong is the popular feeling here that,' were it desirable, a large body of Free) Staters would take the field and fight/ immediately against the Transvaalers. The total British losses to date, Mar.1 35, exclusive of the invalids sent home,] are 10,418 in killed, wounded and missing. The Boers blew up the railroad bridge which crossed the Modder river,', 14 miles north of Bloemf ontein, on the' 19th.. . Lord Roberts has cabled from BJoemfontein to the effect that many Free Staters are anxious to give up. Gen. Sir Geo. S.

The czar has successfully forcedc**/. the hand of the porte for the immed- j iate granting of the railway conces- \ sions in Asia Minor. Authoritative' dispatches from Constantinople announce that the Turkish government has yielded to St. Petersburg in all the essential conditions of the Russian pro- ^ posal. In accepting Russia's demand for exclusive railway concessions in Asia Minor, the sultan has virtually placed that part of "his empire in the same category with Manchuria, where the Chinese have turned over all railway franchises to the czar. This step was not taken by the porte until the Russian government had thrown off < the mask and revealed itself ready to resort to arms if necessary to attain its objects. Well informed circles at Constantinople learned about a* fortnight ago that the Russian war office and ministry of marine had issued joint orders looking to a general mobilization of the land and sea forces, should certain contingencies arise. • 200,000 Fire at Flint. The city of Flint suffered the severest blow in its history on the night of the 20th. About 10 o'clock the Flint Wagon Works was discovered on fire, and despite the heroic efforts of the fire department, it had secured such a headway that }t was soon seen, that the whole plant must certainly, be destroyed, and such proved to be- t h e case, as not one timber was saved. How the fl re origi natjed is yetfujjkn,own. It is uhderstoooTthat the loss, will ex; ceed $200,000, w i t h an insurance of $120,000. The wagon works plant fe not crippled entirely by the- ftarev t h e concern having lost only one- building in which wagons and machinery were manufactured. The damaged part will be rebuilt at once and the men w h o were thrown out of work wiB find employment in some other department. About one-third of the- 500 asen employed were affected by the fire. The firm is filling orders ibr sight goods* and has plenty of raw material on hand. Kentucky's Secretary or 8«sWaa Trial.

One letter was. from Don, which had been p o s t e d to Gadie Ha' and now forwarded by Roddy's father. And as Roddy tore it open and scanned Us c o n t e n t s an exclamation n f pleasure passed h i s lips. ^Tfcere, little wife, didn't I predict t h i s ? " he said triumphantly. And forthwith he read aloud a few hasty • lines D o n had ;penned to Roddy on the n i g h t of h i s betrothal to Lillie Derwent, previous :to'his departure for the c a m p of the Tirah force. It w a s a wonderfully bright letter for Don, full of congratulation on Roddy's f o r t h c o m i n g marriage and calm satisfaction i n h i s a w n engagement; and it ended w i t h a p o s t s c r i p t that stirred botn Di a n d I R o d d y i o the heart. "I begin t o t h i n k , old fellow, perh a p s y o u are t i g h t , and life is worth living after all;" Happy tears had sprung to Diana's oark eyes, and, a e e i n g them, Roddy's arm stole round iher waist, and he drew h e r head to h i s shoulder and lightly touched its auburn locks with his lips. "You are satisfied now, little woman, — t h a t - L i l l i e has m e l h e r r e a l 'hero'' at last?" She looked np I n his .toughing.-eyes w i t h a tender smile, for she k n e w h e w a s thinking of a t i m e w h e n .she believed LHlie to be h i s own «mly iocre, and she answered with contrite .sweetn e s s : "Ah, Roddy, how g o o d God ia, & w e would only trust H i m to shape o a r lives as H e k n o w s heat!" The silence of a deep content fell u p o n them, and by a n d by they strolled o u t to where the great chalk cliff* rose in caxsJiag w h i t e n e s s up from the s e a into the blue sky, over which t h e s i l v e r y stars of n i g h t were coming out o n e by one, t w i n k l i n g like tiny globes of lire. Behind t h e m reared the rugged stretch of undercliff, down the wooded precipice of which t h e . murmuring stream meandered from village to * shore, and by w h o s e side ran a s e r i e s of gigantic steps—a m i g h t y precipice t h a t savored a l m o s t of Alpine s u b - limity.

"Surely, Roddy, you will forgive a n d forget the past n o w , and Lillie will bring him back t o us once more?" "Ah, surely, for "My ladye fair can rule my soul, And every thought and deed control." Roddy quoted gaily. Then, w i t h tender passion, he clasped the hand h e held still tighter, and spoke more gravely, "What was that line you repeated a m o m e n t ago, D l ?

British officer killed: orderly w o u n d - ed!" * H e hastily opened the sheet and stood still under a g a s lamp to scan its columns; w h i l s t Diana, w i t h anxious eyes, looked over his shoulder. For, peaceful as.it had b e e n on the I n - dian frontier for s o m e m o n t h s n o w , her thoughts were ever quick to fly to Don and Lillie's father, of w h o m any hour m i g h t bring disastrous n e w s . A hoarse exclamation burst from t h e lips of both as, simultaneously, h u s - band and wife caught s i g h t of the fatal paragraph. T h e name of the officer w a s Capt. Derwent of the Gordon Highlanders! • • • • • • « . And far, far a w a y the red A f g h a n sun had set amid somber clouds above the snow-clad s u m m i t s of Tirah and the white tents of the British camp in the Darn Strath. There had been rain and thunder all day, and the clouds had gathered In dense m a s s e s , edged by the radiance of the hidden moon. A n d athwart the clouds now and t h e n shot gleams of vivid lightning, falling with weird solemnity upon a coffin, draped w i t h the Union Jack, carried shoulder high by stalwart Highlanders. i u e cortege was preceded by pipers playing the low and w a i l i n g dirge of "Lochaber n o more," and f o l l o w e d by a string of officers and soldiers wearing long, spectral-like cloaks, and w a l k i n g with slow s t e p s and heads downbent. Soon—ah, how s o o n ! — i t w a s all over, and all that w a s left of their gallant comrade w a s committed to t h a t lonely nullah, "In sure and certain hope of the resurrection of eternal life." N o farewell s h o t s were fired; ' but the captain's own d e t a c h m e n t presented arms, and the piperi a w o k e the dim valley once more w i t h their pibroch; but it was "The Land 0' the Leal" n o w that t h e y played. And a s Don Gordon turned from that lonely grave, and pictured the image of her w h o held the dead so dear, for one wild m o m e n t he felt he would sooner, far sooner lie there, too, than face the anguish of Lillie's pure e y e s ; While In his heart rang the chaplain's words, like the cry of a l o s t soul: . "Deliver.us not into the* pains of reternal death."

A sharp groan fell from his lips, stifled even as it escaped t h e m ; for the portiere had rustled, and h e turned quickly to find he w a s no longer alone. Lillie had come to h i m j u s t ' a s s h e had risen from her siesta.' Her golden hair, let loose for coolness, streamed o v e r her white muslin robe, and round her waist was a broad sash of black ribbon, the sight of w h i c h s e n t a fresh p a n g to her lover's heart. "A great sorrow nobly borne i s a great dignity." A s D o n looked a t her he j ^ a l i z e d ^ a l m o s t w i t h a f e e l i n g of awe, that such dignity had fallen upon Lillie now. T h e dire c a l a m i t y she had so dreaded' had come t o pass, yet s h e had not s u n k beneath t h e blow. The passion of h e r grief w a s s p e n t and resignation had come. A n g u i s h had left its pallor on her cheek, but the hopelessness of despair w a s not past. » D o n looked~at her, mar\rettng~at~her fortitude and c a l m ; t h e n the n e x t i n - s t a n t his arms were c l o s i n g round her like a vise and straining her to his b e a t i n g heart, for her calm had g i v e n w a y , and she had flown to the s h e l - ter of h i s embrace, w i t h a tender, s o b - bing cry. "Oh, Don, Don, m y all on earth n o w ! " she cried^ H e held her tight, and kissed her a g a i n ^ n d again. It w a s a s if he dreaded the m o m e n t m i g h t come w h e n he should never hold her t h u s a n y more, and h e w a s drinking t o the full this embittered cup of bliss. P r e s - e n t l y she withdrew herself, for there w a s s o m e t h i n g a l m o s t fierce in the fervor of his caresses. She sank ou a divan, and put out her-hand to him to sit by her. "Tell m e , " s h e said faintly, "all about it." And D o n told her, with l o w voice a n d averted eyes that story w h i c h the press paragraphs, s o comprehensive, C H A P T E R VI. fltt had been a m o r n i n g of languorous heat, and now n o o n — t h e long, breathless Jndian n o o n — w a s a t its meridian, when, on a day in May, Don Gordon affrtaed at Rawal Pindi and rode o u t under a burning s u n to Lillie Derw e n t s h o u s e . » T h e d u r w a n m e t h i m w i t h evident onrprlse and the i n t i m a t i o n that "the g a t e s were closed" (polite Hindostani for -"not « i home"), and for a n instant Don's heart stood still, w i t h a vague fear of h e k n e w n o t w h a t T h a n suddenly h e remembered it w a s the hour of siesta, a t i m e w h e n visits are never paid in India; a n d , reassured, he dismounted from his horse, and, presenting h i s card w i t h the o b - servation that "the m e m a a h i b would be sure to see h i m o n receipt of that," h e passed through the vestibule w i t h masterful step, and w e n t unannounced Into the drawing room t o await Lillie's coming. How long he waited be knew not yet co cruel in their brevity, had al ready burnt like a searing Iron into heart and brain. It * a s shortly before the mees-hour. Several successive shots had been heard in the valley, and t w o had penetrated one of the m e s s t e n t s and wounded an orderly w h i l s t in t h e act of l a y i n g a table. Captain D e r w e n t and himself were returning from a stroll along the b a n k s of the nuilah, w h e n a bullet whizzed b e t w e e n t h e m w h i c h struck Captain Derwent, and he dropped, i n s t a n t l y at the narrator's feet, shot through t h e heart. Every effort w a s being made to track the perpetrator of the crime and a v e n g e the captain's death; but so far the rebels had escaped. "And you yourself were the o n l y o n e near when he died?" s h e said, t h r o u g h the tears w h i c h were n o w s t r e a m i n g silently down her pallid, l o v e l y face.

"My poor D o n ! h o w you, t o o , m u s t h a v e suffered!" H e caught her to h i m w i t h a p a s s i o n - a t e caress, all t h e more passionate because the t h o u g h t assailed h i m h o w pnee not love; but mere ambition, had urged h i m to lay siege to t h i s confidi n g h e a r t "I h a v e suffered," h e said, very l o w , "more than I can say, Lillie."

There was writen in red ink on the back of it the following: "Wife, children, and over $40,000, nil gom>. I am alone responsible. When I WHS twenty-one I had a fortune. 1 am not yet thirty-five years old- I have killed my beautiful wife, who died of a broken heart; have murdered my children with neglect.

HOME LIFE THE SUBJECT LAST SUNDAY* The DntlM of Putpti i« Thtir ChUaV reu — "A W M Boa ******* • «>•* r»th«r; bat a weeUafcj;? S o * & . tike Haariaaw of Bis atwtaa^1*'^ v -: 'J [Copyright, 1900, by Louli Klopach.] In this graphic waya Solomon sets forth the Idea that the good or evil behavior of children blesses or blights the parental heart. I know there are persons who seem to have no especial Interest in the welfare* of their children. The father says: "My tyy must take the risks I took invito. If he turns out well, all right; if he turns out ill, he will have to bear the* consequences. He has the same chance that I* had. He must take care of himself.*' A shepherd might just as well.thrust a lamb into a den of lions and say, "Lktle lamb, take care of yourself." Nearly all the brute creation are kind enough to look after their young. I was going through the woods, and heard a shrill cry in a nest. I climbed trp to the bird's nest, and I found that The meridian of Greenwich is generally accepted as the starting-line from •which to reckon longitude and time all over the earth. But objections are, from time to time raised against the universal adoption of the Greenwich meridian for such purposes. Recently Italian savants have emphasized these objections by pointing out that on tho Tfietidian of Greenwich clouds and bad .weather are frequent, interfering with 'astronomical observations, They suggest that the civilized world should agree to adopt the meridian of Jerusalem, as a common reference line, ,bet^ nsB^there;T5e skies are clearer, and ^ th,e possibility of making Palestine neutral territory would eliminate political objections. Some of the problems of war which seem new are in reality eld. For example, the South African Boers have been most successful in concealing the positions of their guns until the Brit-'' ish.battalions were exposed.to destructive fire^ They have adopted a device fnr* ri»ffrnfihrp r>ppratron:g in the field, starve. But that is a very rare occurrence. Generally a bird will pick your eyes out rather than surrender her young to your keeping or your touch. A lion will rend you if you come too near the- w-h*lps;- even- the barnyard fowl, with its clumsy foot and heavy wing, will come at you if you approach its young too nearly, and God certainly intended to" have fathers and mothers as kind as the brutes. Christ comes through all our household today, and he says: "You take care of the bodies of your children and the minds of your children. What are you doing for their immortal souls?" I read of a ship that foundered. A.lifeboat was launched. Many of the passengers were in the water. A mother with one hand beating the waves and the other hand holding her little child out toward, the lifeboat cried out, "Save my child!" And that impassioned cry is the one that finds an echo in every parental heart in thi3 land today. "Save my child!" That man out there says: "I have fought my own way through life. I have got along tolerably well. The wortd has buffeted me, and I have had many & hard struggle. It doesn't make much difference what happens to me, but save my child." You see, I have a subject of stupendous Import, and I am going, as God may which is the chief motive of all the great coast and frontier fortifications. 0 Visiters at Halifax, Dover or Gibraltar are only allowed to see the parade grounds and barrack3. The secrets of the fortresses are not disclosed. There are guns of long range, which are concealed by terraces of grass or by obstructions of various kindB, In time of war these hidden guns' would suddenly be brought to bear upon an enemy's fleet. A bridge in the form of an aerial fprry has just hAgn opener] at Rouen on the river Seine. In order to avoid Interference with shipping, it was determined to place no structure in the stream, or near its surface. Instead of a bridge lu any-of the ordinary forms, a horizontal flooring, sustained by steel towers and suspension cables, was stretched across the river at an elevation of 167 feet. On this flooring, run electrically driven rollers, from which is suspended, by means of steel ropes, a car which moves at the level of ,the wharves on the river banks. The car is thirty-six feet wide and forty- two feet long, and is furnished, like a ferry boat, with accommodations for carriages and foot passengers. -—The ropes that carry the hanging car are Interlaced diagonally in such a manner that the support is rigid, and a swinging motion is avoided. help me, to show the .cause of parental solicitude and then the alleviations of .thatsollpitude,.... The first cause of parental solicitude, A feature of parliamentary practice peculiar to this country, of which little is heard in comparison with its importance, is the conference committee. A bill before congress seldom passes the house and the senate in the same form; freqently the differences are important, and unless one house will accept as whole the doings of the other, which rarely happens, the ^measure must "go to conference," as the phrase 5*. Tirree members are appointed from each house, two of, the majority party and one of. the minority/ usually the members who h&ve had most- -to do with the passage of the bill, the details , of which are still in dispute. When a conference committee begfns its sessions to adjust differences upon a party measure, only the representatives of the majority party, which would now mean the four Republicans, ordinarily attend; as soon as they reach an agreement, the two Democrats are caHed in for formal assent, since they nave no real power of resistance. The representatives of each house are expected to strive for the bill as it passed tne body of which, they are member*, even though they personally may have favored the form in which it passed1 ttavotfca? house. that boy. Just see how he has turned out" Ah, my friend, you have stuffed that boy with religion. You had no sympathy with innocent hilarities. You had no common sense. A man at midlife said to me: "I haven't much desire for religion, My father was as good a man as ever lived, but he jammed religion down my throat when I was a boy until I got disgusted with it, and I haven't wanted any of it since." That father erred on one side. Then the discipline is an entire failure in many households because the father pulls one way and the niother pulls the other way. The father says, "My son. I told you if I ever found you guilty of falsehood again I would chastise you, and I am going to keep my promise. The mother says: "Don't. Let him off this time." A father says: "I have seen so many that make mistake by too great severity in the rearing of their children. Now, I will let my boy do as he pleases. He shall have full swing. Here, my son, are tickets to the theater and opera. If you want to play cards, do self you don't want to play cards, you need not play them. Go when you want and come back when you want to. Have a good time. Go It!" Give a boy plenty of money and ask him not what he does with it, and you pay his way straight to perdition. But after awhile the lad thinks he ought to have a still larger supply. He has been treated, and he must treat. He must have wine suppers. There are larger and larger expenses. -•-'•-- — Remit of Lax Discipline. After awhile one day a messenger from the bank over the way calls in, and says to the father of the household of which I am speaking: "The Officers of the bank would like to have you step over a minute." The father steps over, and a bank officer says, "Is that your check?" "No," he says, "that Is not my check. I never make an 'H' in that way. I never put a curl to the 'Y' in that way. That is not my writing; that "is not my signature; that is a counterfeit. Send for the police." "Stop," says the bank officer, "your son wrote that." Now the father and mother are waiting for the son to come home at night. It is 12 o'clock,it is half-past 12 o'clock, it is 1 o'clock. The son comes through the hallway. The father says: ''My son, what does all this mean? I gave you every opportunity. I gave you all the money yon wanted," and here in my old days I find that you have become a spendthrift, a libertine and a sot." The son says: "Now, father, what is the use of your-talking that way? You told me to go it, and I just took your suggestion." And'so to strike the medium between severity and too great leniency, to strike the happy medium bo- I think, arises from the imperftfcliuu of parents on their own part. We all somehow want our children to avoid our faults. We hope that if we have any excellences they will copy them, but the probability is they will copy our faults and omit our excellences. Children are very apt to be. echoes of the parental life. Some ^oasv meets a lad In tfhe back street, finds him smoking and says: "Why, I am astonished at you. What would your father say if he knew this? Where did you get that cigar?" "Oh, I picked it up on the street?" "What would your father say and your mother say if they knew this?" "Oh," he replies, "that's nothing. My father smokes." There is not one of us today who would like to have our children copy all our example. And that is the cause of solicitude on the part of all of us. We have so many faults we do not want them copied and stereotyped in the lives and characters of those who come after us. Tho Mtitler of Discipline. Then solicitude arises from our conscious insufficiency and unwisdom of discipline. Out of 20 parents there may be one parent who understands how thoroughly and skillfully to discipline; perhaps not more than one out of 20. We, nearly all of us, err on one side or on the other. Here Is n father who says: "I am going to bring up my children right. My sons shall know nothing but religion, shall see nothing but religion and hear nothing but religion." They are routed out at 6 o'clock in the rirorning to recite the Ten Commandments. They are wakened up from the sofa on Sunday night to recite the Westminster catechism. Their bedroom walls are covered with religious pictures and quotations of Scripture, and when the boy looks for the day of the month he looks for it in a religious almanac. I* a-minister comes co laevhouse, he is requested So take tile boy aside and tell him what a great sinner he is. It is religion morning, loon and night. Time passes on, and the parents arewaiting for the return of the son at light It is 9 o'clock, It is 10 o'clock, .t is 11 o'clock, it is 12 o'clock, it is aalf-past 12 o'clock. Then they hear i rattling of the night key, and George ;omes in and hastens up stairs lest he >e accosted. His father says, "George, where have you been?" He says, "I lave been out.". Yes, he has been out, ind he has been down, and he has rtarted on the broad road to ruin for .his life and ruin for the life to come, md the lathe* say* ter Mrr-wHir- "Mother, the Ten Commandments are i failure. No use of Westminster catejalstt? I'haVe doae « v i w y beet for tf*?$ ?• -tween the two and to train our children for God and for heaven is the arrxiety of every intelligent parent. Another great solicitude is in the fact that so early is developed childish sinfulness. Morning glories put out their bloom in the early part of the dayfbut as the hotrsun comes" on they close up. While there are other howers that blaze their beauty along the Amazon for a week at a time without closing, yet the morning glory does its work as certainly as Victoria regia, so there a-re some chilldren that just put forth their bloom, and they close, and they are gone. There is something supernatural about them while they tarry, and there is an ethereal appearance about them. There is a Wonderful depth to their eye, and they are gone. Threy ale too delicate a plant for this world. The Heavenly Gardener zees them, and he takes them in. But for the most part the children that live sometimes get cross and pick up bad words in the street or are disposed to quarrel with brother or sister and show that they are wicked* i You see them in the Sabbath school class. They are so sunshiny and bright you would think they were always so, but the mother looking over at them remembera what an awful time she had to get them ready. Time passes on. They get considerably older, and the son comes in from the street from a pugilistic encounter, bearing on his appearance the parks of defeat, or the daughter practices some little deception in the household. The mother says: "I can't always be scolding and fretting and finding fault, but this must be stopped." So in many a household, there is the sign of sin, the sign of the truthfulness of what the Bible says when it declares: "They,go astray as soon as they be born, speaking lies.",, Fleklnr at liojn. Some go to work and try to correct all this, and the boy is picked at and picked at and picked at. That always is ruinous. There Is more help In one good thunderstorm than in five days of cold drizzle. Better the old-fashioned style of chastisement if that be necessary than the fretting and the scolding which, have destroyed so many. There Is also a cause of great solicitude sometimes because ouV young peo-, pie are surrounded by so many temptations. A, castle may not be taken by a straightforward siege,but suppose there be Inside the' castle an enemy, and in the night he shoves back the bolt andswings open the door. Our young folks have foes without, and they have foes within. Who does not understand it? Who is the man here who is not a,ware oTflieilact :mt the young people of this day'have tremendous teroptatte—i dome man will come to the young people and try to persuade them that purity and honesty and uprightness are a sign of weakness. Some man wjll take a dramatic attitude, and he will talk to the young man, and he will say: "You must break away from your mother's apron strings. Yon must get out of that puritanical straitjacket It is time you were your own master. You are verdant. You are green. You are unsophisticated. Come with me; I'll show you the world. I'll show you life. Come with me. You need to see {fee. wortd. It won't hurt you." A&R awhile the young man says: "Well, I ean't afford to be odd. I can't afford to be peculiar. I can't afford to sacrifice all my friends. I'll just go and see for myself." Farewell (o innocence, which once gone never fully comes back. Dp not be under the delusion that because you repent of sin you get rid forever of ifs consequences. I say farewell to innocence, which once gone never fully comes back. * * * Necessity of Early Training Begin early with your children. You stand on the banks of a river and you try to change its course. It has been rolling now for 100 miles. You cannot change it. But just go to the source of that river, go to where the water just drips down on the rock. Then with your knife make a channel this way and a channel that way, and it will take it. Come out and stand on the banks of your child's life when it was 1$0~or "40 years"of age, or^^ even 20, and try to change the course of that life. It is too late! It is too late! Go further up at the source of life and nearest to the mother's Treart, where the~cSaracter starts, and try to take it in the right direction. But, oh, my friend, be careful to make a line, a distinct line, between innocent hilarity on the one hand and vicious proclivity on the other. Do not think your children are going to ruin because they make a racket. All healthy children make a racket. But do not laugh at your child's sin because it ls~smart. If.you do, you will cry after awhile because it is malicious. Remember it is what you do more than what you say that is going to affect your children. Do you suppose Noah would have got his family to go into the ark if he staid out? No. His sons would have said: "I am not going into the boat. There's something wrong. Father won't go in. If father stays out I'll stay out." An officer may stand in a castle and look off upon an army fighting, but he cannot be much of an officer, he cannot excite much enthusiasm on the part of his troops standing in a castle or on hilltop looking off upon a fight. It is a Garibaldi or a Napoleon I. who leaps into th& stirrups ^njTd^hpq nhftad A ,»M€£&3BrUb .FARM &R. And you stand outside the Christian life and tell your children to go in. They will.not 450. But you dash on ahead, you enter the kingdom of God, and they themselves Will become good soldiers of Jes_us_Chrlst. A Personal Appeal. Are your children safe? I know it is a stupendous question to ask, but I must ask it. Are all your children safe? A mother when the house was on fire got out the household goods, many articles of beautiful furniture, but forgot to ask^until too late, "Are the children safe>?" When the elements are melting with fervent heat and God shall burn the world up and the cry of "Fire, fire!" shall resound amid the mountains and the valleys, will your children be safe? I wonder if the subject strikes a chord in the heart of any man who had Christian parentage, but has not lived as he ought? God brought you here this morning to have your memery revived. Did you have a Christian ancestry? "Oh, yes," says one man. "If there ever was a good woman, my mother was good." • How she watched you when you were sick! Others wearied. If she got weary, she nevertheless was wakeful, and the medicine was given at the right time, and when the pillow was hot she turned it. "A^d, oh, then when you began to go astray,, what a grief it was to her heart! All the scene-comes back." You remember the ohairs, you remember the table, you remember the doorsill where you played, you remember the tones of her voice. She seems calling'you now, not by the formal title with which we address you, saying, "Mr." this or "Mr." that, or "Honorable" thls^ or "Honorable" that. It is just the first name, your first name, she calls you by .this morning. She bids you to a better life. -She says: "Forget not all the counsel I gave youj my wandering boy. Turn into paths of righteousness. I am waiting for you at the gate." Oh, yes. God brought you here Jhis morning to have that memory revived, and I shout upward the tidings. Angels of God, send forward the news! Ring! Ring! The dead is alive again* and the lost is found!

Aagee with I M U farm—1 < S—slve Jilaed W%rmkm» Within three mllasTet the town, g o - ing eastward, is-the U n a «f Mr. W. Creamer, one of the municipality's- .largest and most prosperous mixed farjntrs. Mr. Creamer came Va thiscountry in 1*10 and settled on a portion of the land which comprises his present enormous farm of 1,280 acres. In common with many*ethers of a, similar period, he experienced all the hardships and dlfastililes common to the absent* of railway and market facilities. In no wltiidaunted, by energy, industry and indomitable will he was able to surmount all obstacles and has achieved an unparalleled sue-' cess, and is known throughout the district as one of its pre-eminent farmers. His operations extend over 1,280- acres, two sections (the thought alone of so much land makes* the eastern farmer dizzy); 800 acres of this is broken and the remainder is excellent pasture land and wood. This harvest he took off a crop of 500 acres of wheat and 200 of other grains. Four hundred acres are plowed and ready for wheat next spring. Mr. Creamer is, as has been stated, a mixed farmer of no mean proportions, having at the present time forty horses, sixty head of cattle and fifty piga. The' most modern farm buildings are found on his premises, the main building being a barn fifty-five feet square on a stone foundation, containing stabling ior sixteen horses and a large number of cattle. The loft Is stored with twentynine loads of 6**ea£..oats for feed, and tons of hay; there 13 also_a_cuiling?_ box. Another building of large dimensions is the granary, in which, after teaming large quantities to market, he still has stored 3,000 bushels of wheat. A crushing machine is in the building. There are a number of lesser buildings containing chicken house,' pig pens and cattle sheds. The farm residence is a handsome frame structure of ample proportions; in connection with it is a woodshed. The water supply is unexcelled; besides house supply there is a well in the stables and a never-failing spring situate in a bluff, which never freezes. Surrounded by a thick bluff of poplars, extending in a semi-circle to the west, north and east, the winter storms are broken and accumulation of snow unknown. Added to his farming operations, Mr. Creamer conducts a threshing outfit for the season. His success is only one Instance of what can be accomplished In western Canada.—Baldur (Man.) Gazette, Nov. 16, 1899. There will be thousands remove to western Canada this year to engage in ^he pursuit olJarmlng. —— Au«ta«r KlaUnir Story. Just before the famous writer left England he was lunching at a restaurant in Fleet street much affected by the literary and artistic set. In a bit af absence of mind Kipling got up from^ ala seat and began walking away without paying his score. The waitress, with a little readiness of wit which delighted the whole room, called out, 'Mr. Kipling—Pay, Pay, Pay," the jvell-lsnown refrain of the "Absent- ULnded Beggar."

"Let's each of us pretend to be the other and see how long it will take him to find us out." "But Mary will tell." "No, she won't. She will come to meet us by herself probably, and that will give us a good chance to talk it over with her, and she will enjoy the Joke." So it was agreed that Kate Raymond was to pass for Alice Strong as long as she could, and that Alice was to play the role of Kate. Before long the train drew up at a wayside station and the two girls who were traveling to- ~ ge"fl5eT~wttb Trrtew to visHinre former schoolmate, gathered up their belongings and alighted from the car.

At the door of her hospitable home Mrs. Townsend welcomed the guests; who were Introduced to her under their assumed names as well as their real ones. The joke was explained tp her and she was pledged to secrecy. Jack drove over that evening. Alice played her part with easy cleverness. Kate had a harder time of it, for Jack had asked her Innumerable questions about persons and things of which she knew nothing. Yet she managed to keep up her character. To the conspirator's astonishment and to Kate's dismay the little game did not come to an end for many days. Jack was almost equally attentive to "Miss Raymond" and to "Miss Strong," but the raake-beUeve "Miss Strong" felt that he llkedTTo he with her more than with her friend. Alice was naturally gay and daring, while Kate was rather sedate. Having been Introduced to the entire neighborhood as "Miss Raymond," she was having a good time in her own way, which was hardly Kate's. This caused Kate much uneasiness. Little things that were really no harm in themselves, but which, looked like mountains of impropriety to Kate, were being done by Alice in Kate's name with the utmost sang-froid. Alice would not consent to end the play and she would acLher wwUa.i¥a.ftw& .way.

"But it's not I—that is, it is I—but you don't know me," stammered the girl in confusion. "Yes I do, and I love you dearly," declared Jack.

Candy is entirely tabooed during this period. The money that she herself would spend for the sweets goes—well, it may go to the heathen or it may not; there's no use assuming that it's put aside to buy a parasol next summer, unless it really is.

PAPA FROG A N D T H E T A D P O L E S n i l Children Cling 16 Hts H i c k TUI They Are B i g Enough to Leave. A male frog with little tapoles living on his back was discovered lately by Dr. August-Brauer of Marburg, Germany. For a little fellow it has a pretty long name, but perhaps Its paternal devotion has earned it the long Latin name, arthroleptis seychellensis boottger. It has been DOticed before that in some species of frogs living In Venezuela and. the island of Trinidad the male bears the young on its back, to which they hold by their mouths. But this new species is the first one on which so many as nine little ones were discovered, and besides they do not hold on by their mouths, but seem to be stuck to the papa frog's back and sides by some gummy substance which holds them In place, until they are large enough to care for themselves. It is a wonderful device of nature, that the female sometimes, deposits her eggs on the back of the male, where they hatch out, and the little tadpoles grow until they attain a certain size. Such is, of course, not the case with our common frogs, but in these rare species only lately found by naturalists is a strange reversal of what seems to us to be the usual law that the mother takes care of the young. In this species the eggs are not laid >on the back of the male, but on the ground, and only after they are hatched do they take up their position on papa's back. And there they ride until they are big enough to walk around and look for their own food. Printed t h e Wrong Portrait. After Hon. Foster M. Voorhees was elected governor of New Jersey the usual portraits of him were published in the newspapers. They made an interesting variety. In one instance an enterprising journal drew upon Us cabinet and used a cut of the president of a small western university, showing a young man with the hair carefully parted" and1 curled, and with eye-glasses that stood prominently in the picture. He looked about 20 years of age and the face was. smooth and smiling. The governor had a good laugh over this particular picture as well as over some of the other interesting variations of his countenance. He is not an old man by any means, being only 43, but he has the look of a serious student and man of affairs. His home Is in Elizabeth, N. J.

A BOLD ACT, In their zeal for old stamps, some of tbe youngsters about town have been bold enough to open post office boxes which did not happen to be locked, and tear off the stamps. It would be a sorry day for them were they naught in the act as it is a criminal offence in wbiah Uncle Sam takes a hand and friendship would cut no dgnre—tbe guilty would have to be punished, no matter who they were. It would be a good plan if those wbo can do so would lock their boxes. Nas<]B#ra4fl tioeUL The 0. B. S. will give a mat>k social at Masonic Hall, Friday, evening Apr. 6.

W a r e ?9» jjrea«y*JlO l ^ i b l f l to tlM ('• Case With Many Bfor* to foliow-^-^ CoL Suttea R«fm»ed to Appear »• » Witness Agaiast Mars*. ; Il*th Day. :- T h e defense sprung a sensation in the Isfarsh trial o n the 36th by drawing ffcom President Hunter of the Henderson- Ames Co. the fact that a confer* «nce was held in his room in the Hotel Downey on March 6, Proscutor Tuttle, a n d S. N. Bickerstaff being present. T h e object was to show that Tuttie «oached thcin as to the line of testimony to be given to bear out his theory, a n d that they were promised immuni t y from prosecution... President Hunger denied all these claims, and Prosecutor Tutle, in examining him, drew o u t the fact that no conniving of the nature claimed had been made. The defense also attempted to show that CJbL Sutton, Col. Pope, Gen. Marsh and Attorney Speed were in the next room and heard the conversation. Attorneys tor the defense disagreed as t a the advisability of raising this question, Seventh Day. The attorneys for Col. Eli R. Sutton objected to his being called to the stand i n the Marsh trial on the 27th, on the ground1 that it might prejudice his own <$ase, as he is to be tried on practically d i e same charge as Gen. Marsh. Judge ^yiest sustained the objection, but it is said to be equivalent to Sutton's having xfeken the stand, refusing to testify under his constitutional rights. President Hunter ,-ave further testimony •regarding the financial transactions of t h e Henderson-Ames Co. and Qen. White. It developed that the eavesdropping episode, if < reports are true, *tas made the basis for warning the prosecutor to tread lightly in asking Bickerstaff certain questions regarding t h e military "deal." Atty.-Gen. Oren testified as to the letters he received from CoL Sutton and Gen. Marsh regarding the legal method for disposing o f the"surplus military supplies. The defense objected to the books of Gen. Marsh's father being introduced, be- •cause the father is ill, the prosecution being deprived of his testimony as well the defense. It was sustained. Eighth Day. During the testimony of Real Estate Dealer W. Q. Hunt, of Detroit, on the 26th, ft was brought out that Hunt aold Col. Eli R. Sutton a lot on Virginia avenue and received in payment the identical certificate of deposit which w a s issued to Gen. White by the Fourth National bank of Grand Rapids on Aug. 21. On the certificate were significant indorsements. The prosecution quizzed Grant Goodrich, bookkeeper for H. P. Marsh, father of the general, regarding the V^est loan pf $2,500, jjpdjsavoring to show that it was Marsh's contribution to the pot that went to t h e Illinois 'Supply Co. The testimony indicated that Gen. Marsh drove Goodrich around Allegan county in a bukgy. IBO as to avoid a deputy sheriff wholiad «1 grand jury subpoena for Goodrich. -Qtehters of Allegan and Grand Rapids c a n t s testified as to various deposits id withdrawals of Marsh and Gen. lite, the prosecution connecting the thereof with the various movements of the alleged conspirators. Ninth Day. , T h e prosecution in the Marsh trial On the29th probed deep into the various -tanking transactions made by Col. Eli ^R. Sutton in his own name and that of Tiis wife, in Detroit. The prosecution .attempted to show that three days after the alleged Grand Rapids "divvy," Button deposited currency amounting t o ¢8,200 in Detroit banks, accounting •for all but 8201 of the money, which Gen. White withdrew from_a_Grand -Rapids bank. The clerk of Sweet's hotel, Grand Rapids, testified as to the appearance of liickerstait', Marsh and Tyhitc at the hotel. The first time Marsh registered as John Grant of Deirjpib, so as to avoid reporters. On ano t h e r occasion, the clerk's father registered Sutton and Marsh as "Col. S." and "Gen. M." Testimony was introduced to show that the stock in the Simmons Knitting Co., held by Marsh and Bickerstaff, was paid for by Gen, White. Tenth Day. So far as the defensa is concerned, t h e famous Marsh trial came to a sudden and, what is generally looked upon a s an inglorious ending, on the afternoon of the 30th. As is usual the ease, -^a-eaim preceded the storm. It had been • a waiting game for an hour or more. 'Only two witnesses had been sworn, and they testified briefly and matters ^•of minor importance as compared with .twhat had gone before. Two recesses ^had been taken. One was to enable •aiie prosecution to look up requisitions <tor railroad mileage concerning which they wished to interrogate Col. Smith, <cmad the other to enable Judge Wiest to Qook up a point of law governing the •areqnesiof tha defense for permiftftion After the take long t o reach the clims^C, Capt/ Atkinson 'tiq examine the grand "jury.- iestiioony was la it did k not immediately asked thai the -«BOnttataed over the term. be • ,i . : . , " ' : v » . - , » " • • • • • • • ' V » - ' • - * Manual Training to Our School*. State Supt. Hammond, of the department of public instruction, has been jlfiydting considerably attention recently to the subject of, manual training, ahd he has now issued a circular on the subject. The principal idea of ihe circular* is that oyer' 90 per cent of the working population of the United States earn their trttng by their hands, and that, therefore, the body should be trained in the public schools as well as the mind. The last census shows that the intellectual pursuits, which are those of clergyman, lawyer, lecturer, physician, author, teacher, editor and reporter, were followed by 32,486 persons in the state of Michigan, while the pursuits requiring the exercise of manual labor were followed by 714,535 persons; and it is argued that the interests of the larger number are many times greater than those of the more or less professional class. » i Barber License Law U O. K. Fred Wass, the Benton Harbor barber who asked the supreme court for a mandamus to compel the new state" barbers' commission to grant him a certificate to ply his trade, w a s disappointed on the 27th, when the court denied the application. Wass had not been engaged in the business in Michigan for two years prior to the enactment of the law, but he had been so engaged in Ohio. The supreme court holds that a barber must have been engaged in the business "in this state" for two years prior to the enactment of the law in order to be entitled to a certificate without taking the examination. Tax Title Law of '97 Is Defective. The supreme court, on the 27th, in the case of the Citizens' Savings Bank vs. Auditor-General Dix, decided that section 143 of act No. 229 of 1897 is void. The act in question provides "for the giving of notice by tax title purchasers to the occupants or persons having title to or interest in such lands of the fact of such sale, and providing the terms upon which such occupant or other person interesred in such land may obtain reconveyance thereof." There are. limitations in the •> act which are not hinted at in the title, and it is declared restricted and void. EVENTS OF THEWS • • ( • ^ WEEK Terrible Tragedy at Owoeso. An attempted— murder and suicide took place in Owosso shortly after midnight on the 25th, and as a result Charles Scott lies cold in death and his wife and her mother, Mrs. George Ferguson, are both in a precarious condition, suffering from terrible injuries inflicted by the husband. The cause of the attempted murder was nothing more than jealousy. A number of times previous to the fatal night Scott had threatened to kill his wife. They had not resided together since Christmas. m Tbe Governor After Cash Dae From U. 8. Gov. Pingree w a s at Lansing on the 29th and got a move on in the direction of taking steps to recovsr the money due the state by the general government on account of the state's expenditures in connection with the Spanish war. Some months ago the government hung the matter up until copies of vouchers showing expenditures made by the state were produced. Since then, nothing has been done. April 27 Arbor Day. In accordance with the statute, Gov. Pingree has designated April 27 as Arbor Day. He calls attention to the importance and advisability of everyone who can to plant a tree or shrub on that day. He asks the people also to co-operate with the forestry commission recently created by the Jegisrature. WAR NOTES, Capt. Conradi, of the transport Garonne, which arrived at Tacoma on the 28th from Manila, reports that Aguinaldo, according to reports current there, is able to visit Manila in disguise almost as often as he wishes. How this is accomplished, no one seems to know, but it is known positively that he attended a grand masque ball at Manila on New Year's night, and has been seen there several times since. He is heard from occasionally as being first in one place and then in another. Gov.-Gen. Wood says he hopes by May to have reduced Havana's municipal budget to 8100,000 per month. When he went there last December, he found the figures exceeding $200,000. Many white Cubans announce theli intention of organizing an annexation party. They say they would prefer the Cuban flag, but they are not willing to submit to Negro control. A meeting conveyed by the various political factions at Santiago, with a view of affecting an agreement on candidates for the approaching elections, broke up in a riot. Every steamer that left Havana on the 31st was crowded. Every state room and every available cot had been engaged on all the three vessels bound for American ports. The immediate cause for this rush was to escape a possible quarantine. About ° two years ago, little Namis Winters, of Milton Center, Antrim county, then one year old, swallowed a shingle nail. A serious illness was the result She has had a bad cough ever since. She grew worse recently, but on the 36th she coughed up the nail, and now is in a fair way to speedily recover.

The state tax commission continues to be an expensive luxury, aacT the board of state auditors does not exhibit a tendency-to dip its wings. At the meeting of the auditors last week a big grist of claims was allowed. Robert Oakman drew 9415.30; Milo D. Campbell got in 5291.04, and Commissioner Freeman 9293.41. The aggregate of the claims allowed by the auditors upon the certification of the tax commissioners was 94,149.57. The original allowance of $600 per month for clerk hire has been more than doubled. John Caldwell got a draw of 9108.31 and Frank J. Tully comes in for 9131. Telephone, telegraph and express company bills are not insignificant in their dimensions. "Rev.'' Aztell was Barred Oat. A short time ago it was announced that "Rev." J. J. Axtell, who was turned out of the Congregational church at Royal Oak because of his pugilistic tendencies, was to be given another trial. However not all the members of the church were in favor of such a move, and when Axtell's admirers made an attempt to gain admittance to the edifice on the 1st, they found the door nailed shut with 10- penny nails. There was no service, and Axtell is not likely to again occupy the pulpit in that place. Two Killed at a Fire fa Owoato. Owosso was visited by the greatest calamity in its history on the 1st. I t s 9125,000 high school building lies in ruins and a fireman and school boy are dead, killed by falling walls. It is believed others are buried beneath the mass of debris, but this cannot be proved until it is learned who, if any, are missing. Five firmen and school boys are more or less badly injured, two perhaps fatally so. The fire caught from a burning chimney. The insurance on the building amounts to 946,- 000. Of, Interest to Catholic*. In deciding the case of Bishop John S. Foley vs. Mathias Kleibusch, the supreme court on the 27th- filed an opinion of great importance to the Catholic people of the state. It is the first decision of the Michigan court fixing the ownership of Catholic church property in the bishop. The court says that according to the regulations of the Roman Catholic church the complete dominion over the church property i s vested in the bishop. STATE GOSSIP. The Presbyterians of Alma are t o build a new church. The Congregational church at Leonidas is still without a pastor. The Battle Creek-Jackson electric road now appears to be a go. Wild geese in large numbers are reported around Highland station. There is a possibility 4hat North Adams is to have a canning factory soon. A big match factory will be located at Grand Rapids, giving employment to 150 people. The 1901 state convention of the Christian Endeavor society will be held in Port. Huron. The high schools of Van Buren county will hold a field day at Paw Paw on May 26. The Methodists of Negaunee dedicated their new church with appropriate services on the 25th. Yale will probably have another bank as soon as a new building can be erected for its accommodation. A movement is on foot at Midland to organize a business men's association to whoop 'cr up for the town. The oldest inhabitant does not remember seeing so many auctions in Livingston county as there have been this season. According to conservative estimates not less than 100 new houses and other buildings will be erected in Dowagiac the coming season. Brighton has hopes of a canning factory. For a 92,000 bonus, which the new village dads are talking of giving, it is believed one can be had. The~Detnocratic state conventton the selection of delegates to the national convention at Kansas City will be held at Port Huron, Tuesday, May 1 Peach growers around Saranac say that the fruit is all right in favored localities, but on low ground the buds have been quite generally injured by frost. .Sparta's schools are so crowded that no new pupils can be admitted at the Beginning of the spring term, but will have to wait until next September to come in. The people of Ludington will rote next week on the proposition to phange the name of the city back t o Pare Macr quette, as it was originally known years ago. 1 Hillsdale has lost another industry, the local hoop and barrel heading factory having removed t o Ashley, IncL AUaffaa4» prospaat* for #^ pieUle - factory this season have gone gii«nn#ring, ^aslft^faTni^r^nilAirfbtB^ i t * having shown enough interest ut tea matter to make i f fc g 4 ^ - ¾ ¾ ^acoardiig t i tk* s e ^ U r y ' a ;rwprt the Christian Endeavorers of thf state wra-In a flourishing condition.

Secretary of State Stearns has sent his personal check to Sheriff Porter, of Ingham county, as a reward for the arrest of Gen. VY. L. White, t h e missing Michigan quartermaster-general. Citizens of Midland threaten a certain farmer living near there w i t h a coat of tar and feathers for hiding beneath a sidewalk leading to a bridge that school children have to pass over. The Kalamazoo Sugar company has secured contracts in Starke county, Ind., for 3,000 acres of sugar beets. The Wolverine company, of Benton Harbor, has also secured a large acreage in Indiana. Farmers throughout western Oakland county report wheat, rye and clover as badly injured, if not ruined, by the heavy ice which has completely cxtveja^th^jo^erjgvel lands for the past few weeks. When an upper peninsular judge makes a decision, the litigants apparently take it as conclusive. Out of the 142 cases on the April docket of the supreme court, but three are from the upper peninsula. Considerable anxiety is caused among the farmers in the vicinity of Utica because of the thick coating of ice formed over their wheat fields. Some of the pioneers say that the condition is the Worst ever known. C. SL Voorhees is a farmer near Orion who hasn't any use for sugar beets as long as he can raise tobacco. He cultivated five acres of the weed last season and has just sold the crop, three tons, at 9140 per ton. The proposition to bond Traverse City for 943,667, to purchase the Campbell water works plant, carried on the 28th by a vote of 418 for to 256 against. The plant will be improved and extended to the outskirts. Sturgis is liable to lose its shear factory unless a cash bonus is forthcoming. In return for the bonus, however, if it is given, the company will double the capacity of its factory, thus giving employment to many more persons. The trial of Dr. Charles T. Bennett, of Detroit, charged with the killing of Mary Richards in Grand Rapids last July, was commenced before the jury in the superior court on the 29th, two days having been spent in getting a jnry. The Daniel Scotten & Co., of Detroit, branch of the Continental Tobacco Co., or in Other words, the factory which was the product of Daniel Scotten's years of labor, is to be closed up by the trust which purchased it a little over a year ago. The business men of'Niles seem to have waked up finally, and are hustling in the interests of the city. So far this season four new factories have been secured to locate there, the latest being a knitting mill that will give employment to 150 girls. New Baltimore's streets will be lighted by electricity if satisfactory arrangements can be made with the electric railway company to furnish the current for the lights from its mammoth power house in the village, now nearly completed. The sugar beet fever with which t h e farmers surrounding Utica were so thoroughly infected has left them as quickly as it came. They claim that beet crops require more care than any other crop and pay them less, so they refuse to try them again. A "board of trade," otherwise a bucket shop, was established at Albion several weeks ago, but the residents of that good Methodist town are evidently not believers in speculation in stocks, for vlack of patronage compelled the closing up of the shbp last week. John L. McDonell, of Detroit, was chosen to succeed his father-in-law, the late Capt. Joseph Nicholson, as superintendent of the Detroit house of correction, o a the 27th. Mr. McDonell was connected with the institution un^ de* his father-in-law's management,, making him well qualified for the position. e military board u*et oik thw SSfcbr and resolved to ask t h e anditor-geaeral for the refunding of an aggregate of 912,000 which was paid out o ! the national guard fund by tite White administration, but which ttfcoald have been paid from the. war toad. Until this matter i s settled there wUl be n o decision a* to an encampment this year. As the reaalt of active missionary work by land agents representing the Dakotas during the past winter, a colony of over 600 persons with .their household goods and farming imple* menta left Shiawassee county oa the 28th by trains to seek new homes in tha above states. The train w a s composed of three sections and weot over Ur^A^n Arbor railroad.

This is the spirit that seems to animate the West at the present tlm*, and its efteeti are to he seen on every hand. To> enumerate the towns where handsome and substantial blocks and residences have gone up this year would be simply to give a list of the towns and villages along the railway lines. And this movement has net. been confined to> these centers of population, but in many cases it has been overshadowed by/ the Improvement In farm buildings.. So far as one ean see, this is no passing phase, xro* Eftfletttlon' of any temporary boom following a period of good crops and fair prices. It is a movement more spontaneous, more general, more marked than anything that has gone before^, and seems to indicate that the great West, like Samson, bursting the- encompassing bands, has awakened to a period of activity and development—that will -surpass anything we have known In the past and which will only be paralleled by the opening out of some of the most fertile of the western) states of the union. Look at some of. the figures. Over » thousand schools in Manitoba, and the number going up by leaps and bounds; something like 500 schools In the territories. Winnipeg, as representing the gateway of the West* the third city in the Dominion, in regard to bank clearings, postal business and probably in regard to customs, the customs return at Winnipeg running about 30 to 40 per cent greater month by month than in the fiscal year of 1897-8, the largest previous year for actual business entries, when over $900,000 was paid through the Winnipeg office for duty; the C. P. R. and Canada Northwest land sales together running over $1,500,000 for the year. These and a thousand more signs show how the West has leaped into new life. This is an Inspiring and cheering spectacle, but it brings with it great responsibilities. The business men realize this, the banks realize it and have spread their agencies through every bustling little town* clear oat to the coast; the churches realize it, and one denomination alone has opened an average of about thirty new stations in each of the past two ysaTsrand wlH increase this in.tbe year now entered upon; the government departments realize it, and there is talk of redistribution and additional members. The educational branches realize It, and new (gchopjs-a*e springing up everywhere." Over 12,000 settlers came In from the United States alone last year, and these, wt|h the people who came in from the East, prove> the most rigorous westeitaers. They lose no timo in developing their farms, in filling their grazing lands with stock, and in every district isUo be found evidences of thrift and prosperity. EDUCATE YOUR BOWELS.

They sat thus for a long time, speaking in broken tones o* that time which had been fraught with such bitterness to both.

"Would it not be more cruel to me than to the_dead, to liveUn co; fear of-*-of someone annoying you/ or something happening to you, when I was not at "hand.-to protect you?" he ^sked. And his voice quivered. "Yes, yes!" Bhe sighed. And involuntarily a memory of Prince Clement Sing flashed through her overwrought brain. How might not he take opportunity of harassing her now 3ier father was gone, especially as he claimed to have the dead man's sanction to address her. And impulsively she.told Don of the Prince's visit. "But he went away in quite a friendly mood, saying if I ever wanted help I might count on him. It was a great relief. I was terribly afraid he might go away angry. He is so passionate and so powerful, I imagined all sorts of harm he might do." . Yet her tender heart recoiled from thinking of her own welfare, whilst her father's grave "lay so freshly dug." "Dear Don," she saLd, putting her little hand tenderly in his, "perhaps you cannot understand my feeling; but I seem to feel his presence still, as if his spirit stood quite near me now, and I thlftk it would hurt him to know I wanted to be happy without him so soon." The hand she touched trembled. - "No; I don't understand that." he said, almost roughly. "I am afraid I can only think of the dead as dead and buried In their graves." "No, no! don't say that!" she said, and she drew his hand to her lips and her hot tears fell upon it. "You who have proved so strong and true through all your trials, won't you take the solace of my belief that there is eternity to reward us for all our grief and parting? Dear Don, how else could we say, '0, death, where is thy sting? 0, grave, .where Is thy victory'?" He arose and paced the length of the room twice before he came back and stood once more by her side. "Lillie," he said, and she knew by the tone of his voice he had been struggling with some strong emotion, "come to me now, and teach me how to believe these things, while my heart is still -fresh to your sorrow. Promise me, Lillie!" He resumed his seat by her side and put out his hand to her appealingly. She met his eyes, her own all shining with unshed tears. "Don, dearest, if I went home to England with Mrs. Franklin for a few ;months, wouldn't you come and fetch •me there? But to :marry you now— <Jh, Don, Ioannot!" "Then heaven help me!" he answered "bitterly.

You love me, you say; but you cannot love me so much as I love you, for if you had asked me to do what I have asked you I would not have forsaken you." She, rose and flung herself in his arms. "Oh, Don, my love, why do you speak so? What makes you, so wild and strange? Don, Don, I have not forsaken you! You are a l i i now have in ^he whole world!" . Rifc jeajovw could noi be but stayed by her passionate ferror; and., suddenly, at touch of those *Un«lng arms* some of the old calm iznpertousness of the Don of old came to hli aid, , • * — 1 1 / darling," at answered, drawing her nearer, "I want yuu; I need you— you do not.know how m*|cn! Why would you defraud me of what is mine.? If we part now, God knows how next we may ever meet." Fateful words to haunt her in the long, long days to come. But now, overcome by his mastery and pleading, she resisted no longer; and as she spoke the words of yielding he sought, he kissed the lips which had uttered them with a fierce, consuming joy. CHAPTER VII. The wedding was over. It had been a very simple,* very quiet affair. Indeed, it had quite taken the little community of the garrison station by surprise, for Don's disposition was so naturally reserved. He had spoken little of his engagemenV-ftfld—only a—few brother officers and a small number of Lillie's personal friends were in the secret. The bridegroom had obtained "long leave," and with great reluctance had at last yielded to Lillie's appeal to spend the honeymoon in England. He had given in on the one stipula^ tion that Gadie Ha' should not be included in the program; and Lillie, with that touch of sympathy "which .makes the whole world kin," understood the jealous pain it must bring to remember that Scottish home of his childhood which he had looked some day to call his own. The winding up of her father's affairs, and the disposal of-soffle-or^het" own property, was. indeed her only incentive for the homeward journey at all; for, with the bond of ever^deepening love,, her life henceforth would be lived for Don alone. It seemed a strange, commonplace ending to that gay existence of. coquetry and ambition and almost heartless worldliness which once had constituted the sum total of her thoughts and actions. * As Lillie Gordon stood in her pretty bedroom, watching her maid pack away the simple white silk gown she had worn for the marriage ceremony, her thoughts leaped back to those days of long ago, and it seemed scarcely possible she could be the same Lillie who had held love so lightly in that bygone time. The wedding had taken place at 5 o'clock, with no reception afterwards, owing to the bride's deep mourning. The previous night Don had partaken of his farewell dinner as a bachelor with his jolly comrades of the Derbyshire mess, and now was absent making some last necessary arrangements at his quarters, as he and his bride were to leave by the night train for Bombay, where they would catch a hired troopship homeward bound. There was a knock at the bedroom door, and Mrs. Franklin's sweet voice sought admittance. The young widow was to stay on at the bungalow for.a few weeks longer, as her child's health was in loo precarious a state to undergo the long t«ea journey home, and she had gladly accepted Lillie's invitation to remnin. Lillie answered the knock herself. Despite the black crepe gown she now wore, the young bride looked radiant, with a subdued happiness that niRde nil else forgotten but the joyous beauty of her blue eyes and love-lit face. The other woman, who had lost her dwrest on earth, looked at her with a momentary pang of jealous grief. She little knew she was coming to chase the joy from those blue eyes forever. "My love," Mrs. Franklin spoke apologetically. "I am so sorry to trouble you, but Prince Clement Sing has just arrived from Simla, and demands to see you. I explained to him you wore busy, and asked if I could not deliver a message; but he insists on seeing you alone." "Has he heard of our-~our marriage?" queried LilHe, while a deeper coior tinted her check,— "Yes. - He evidently knew of it,, for he spoke of you as Mrs. Gordon," answered— the other lady, smiling. "I think, dear, perhaps it would be more diplomatic of you to go to him. To tell the truth, he was so emphatic about seeing you he quite frightened me." , "He will not frighten me," said Lillie, lightly. "Really, he i3 a very tiresome individual, and I hope I shall get rid of htm before" Don comes back, for I know Don cordially dislikes him." She picked up an ivory fan from her dressing table and went, with a proud, firm step, down the broad staircase. Her dignity as Don's wife seemed to have already added a subtle increase of matronly power to her slim, young n w e . — Prince Clement Sing was standing in the middle of the big drawing-room, and the look on his face made her step falter in spite of herself—it was dark and almost lowering with suppressed fury. Then she recovered her self-possession wjth an effort, and went for* | ward witn a pretty obeisance and outstretched hand. — — "This is an unexpected pleasure, Prince; and had you come a little later you would not have found me here. My husband and I start for Bombay tonight" "I fear you will not count it a pleaewnenyouTie^_ 6n~^w^aTerranarT have come," he answered grimly. "I only regret for your sake that I have come too late.'* "May I ask what you mean?" she said, somewhat haughtily. "I mean, madam, I know you sufficiently well to feel sure you would have hesitated to ally yourself to one whom you would feel it not worthy to breathe the same \air with you if you knew what I know concerning him." Lillie drew up her small persdn to its full height, and, in her indignation,' laid aside the air of deference which usually marked her demeanor towards her royal visitor. "Nothing you can say for or against Captain Gordon can have the slightest weight with me!" she said, with proud scorn. She still stood, because tne Prince also remained unseated; and as she spoke she put out her little hand to the chair-back anlHftayeirTieTself by it, for she was trembling between annoyance and alarm. ^ "It is unchivalrous to contradict a lady," said Prince Clement, with a slow, cruel smile; "yet I find myself in that unfortunate position—obliged to repeat. my_ statement, that I have 1^ in my power to tell you what I know Would entirely alter your sentiments towards the man you have unfortunately married." "Then tell me nothing!" she cried, with a little burst of passion. "I decline to listen to you!" She made a movement as if to sweep a proud curtsey and pass from the roonu-Jmt, with a quick stride, the Old as the Hffls < am tne salae sai ackss of 111» NEURAWU CXTuIAl lTVff ti « <• y i « Si Jacobs (HI I # A DtotlAotloo.

"She shrank beneath his iron touch, -for, despite -her calm exterior, her heart beat high with unknown terror in the clutch of this fanatic, with whom revenge was virtue.

"I beg to remind you again that we are leaving Pindi in two hpurs' time, and I expect my husband to join me here every moment." "Let him come!" returned the Prince —and he laughed a scathing little laugh. "Let him come and deny, if he can, the reason why your father's murderer has never been found!" Her hands clung convulsively to the chair, and she staggered; but only for an instant. She lifted her blue eyes to his, full of imperious scorn. "Will you kindly speak more plainly, Prince? If you compel me to listen to you, I at least deny your right to speak in riddles." It was open warfare between them now; but, in the tortured excitement, she was growing reckless of 'conventionalities. If -Don_wer» only by her side to protect her! She felt she would have given the world to summon her kitmutgar—native footman—and drive Prince Clement Sing from her presence there and then. "I will speak all too plainly," he answered, bowing low. "It was Captain Gordon himself who shot Captain Derment." "You dare say this to me?" The words came in panting breaths through her parched lips, her bosom heaved, and she stood like a lioness at bay. "I dare, becaiise it is the truth!" he hissed. "Ask himself. lie is here to answer." For the portiere had been driven aside, and within the threshold of the door stood Don, in all the bravery of full-dresr uniform he had worn for his wedding, and which he had not yet had time to change. In one hand he held by the silken drapery, the other hand was clutching the hilt of his sword, and on his face the smile of Joyous welcome had frozen and left it ghastly pale.

The fish was a beauty, and was expressed to Mr. Boos, at Cleveland, jind thereby hangs a fish storyTTLast rammer Mr. "arnTt Mrs. Boos were at Long Lake, with Seymour Thompson, fishing when Mrs. Boos hooked a very large fish which was so heavy that it snapped off the line, and got away. The fish just captured was found to have a rusty hook to which a piece of line was attached, imbedded in its throat, and Mr. Thompson recognized it as the tame hook, fastened with his celebrated—knot in the piece of P -•>.-. piece line^aH of which goes to show that.thi s was the same fish that and the meeting proved a very interesting-one. After the meeting was called to order by the president, Miss Nettie Hall favored the Club by a solo. The secretary's report was followed by appoiutment^of committees, then the meeting adjourned for dinner. opened by singing by the club, and report of the committees. The program consisting of a reading by Miss Nettie Hall: solo by Miss Iva Placeway; reading by Mrs. J. W. Placeway; duet by Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Schoenhals; instrumental solo, Miss Grace Nash; was followed by an interesting talk on "Maintaining the fertility of the soil," by A. D. McNair, of New York. He said it depended on two things, 1st the plant food; 2nd, the physical condition of the the soil. Farmers ought to keep track of all these chemical discoveries so that he can apply them to a good advantage. The effect of phosphate on wheat causes larger growth and larger kernal. A solo, by Miss Adda Kice was then listened to. Fred Lake then tendered hirresignatiou as tresurer of the Club and Miss Elota Hall was elected to fill the^ place. The questions in question box were next discussed. 1, During whose administration was Alaska annexed to the U. S?—Johnson's. 2. What was the first message sent on the Atlantic cable?—En. rope and America united.

Astigmatism Is less usual than among Europeans. hese-are the conclusions arrived at by W. H. Rivers, an English naturalist, after nearly a yearns careful experimenting among the savages of Torres Strait and New Guinea. ! He concludes that the eyesight of primitive people is superior to that of inormal Europeans, but,only slightly ; superior; and that their visual powers depend mainly on their powers of observation, Which, owing to their familiarity with restricted surroundings , and,, their great attention to details, becomes highly cultivated. The Australian aborigines display wonderful powers of tracking. They can distinguish the footprints of inand tell them easily from the footand- adventurers of no_-eouniry,4p r 4 a t e of-otb^iLtribis. aA4islHhe_tlme {which has elapsed since they were I made. But these facts indicate powers of [ observation, and, similarly, very often ! the ability of~nBavages to see distant objects and to find, for instance, birds I in foliage when they are invisible to j European eyes, resolves Itself into j their cultivated powers of searching j for these things, which Europeans of- , ten enough would be able to distini guish when once pointed out. It is only fair to state that Mr. Rivera's conclusions are at odds with those of a greater naturalist. When Charles Darwin made his famous trip around the world i n the Beagle there were on board three Terra del Fuegians being carried back to their miserable homes after a visit to England. These people are among the lowest type of savages, except, perhaps, our own Digger Indians and the Austral- 4an .hiishmen. taing a large number of cities that are -. thickly populated; also the manufactories has something to do with i t 4, What is the best way to preserve hams for summer use?—Shortly after they are cnred smoke them a very little, cut in slices pack in layers covering them with fat Yet they—could aee ships in the distance—something t o which they were not trained—long before the sailors whose lifelong habit it had been and who had every advantage of practice and reasoning power from deduction. The three savages were Jemmy Button—so called because he had been bought for one—pearl—button—¥ork Minster, and Fuegia, to whom he was afterward married.

Broadwood, consisting of the 10th Bussars, Household caveliry, two horse fcattcrie* end a fowe of 3 3 0 ¾ ¾ ^ laf*n« !try under CoL Richer, which had been garrisoning Theba Nebu, was obliged, 1» consequence of the near approach at a Urge force of Boers, to leave on the night of Mar.1 80. CoL Broadwood marched to the Bloemfontein water works, south of the Modder, where he encamped. At early dawn the camp was shelled by the enemy from a near p o i n t CoL Broadwood sent off a con* • o y with the batteries while the rest of the force remained to act as rear guard. The convoy arrived at a deep spruit, where the Boers were concealed, and the entire body walked into am* bush and was captured, together with six guns. The loss of life was not great, since most of the British had walked into the trap before a shot was fired. The following dispatch was trans* mitted from Lord Roberts to President Kruger on March 30. "Have just heard of the death of Gen. Joubert and desire to offer my sincere condolences upon the sad event Would ask you to convey to Gen. Joubert's family an ex* pression of my most respectful sympathy with their sad bereavement and to assure them also from me that all ranks of her majesty's force share in the feelings of deep regret at the sudden and untimely end of so distinguished a general, who devoted his life to the service of his country and whose personal gallantry was only surpassed by his humane conduct and chivalrous bearing-under all circumstances." Gen. Pietrus Jacobus Joubert, commandant- generat" - of the Transvaal forces, succumbed to the effects of a stomach complaint at Pretoria on the evening of the 27th, aged 68. He was born in Cape Colony but was taken by bis-parents wrhea savaa yearoold to tho tm i«i»i TALMMI'S SE1M0N. i l k ! ****** M**JH£-<&-;. —H»pas Baa** - -*«« Ummowf la Bart?

It was Joubert who organized the army of the South African republic By his death the republic loses a true patriot, gallant general, and an upright and honest gentleman. f Lord Methuen has returned to Kimberly with his mounted troojps^ from the Barkley district. They were at Likatlong, when they received the order from Lord Roberts to return to Kimherley. , It is reported that the Boers have reoccupied Campbell, and that they are in strong force near Warrenton, Bark ley West and Taungs. The Boers are concentrating in forco in the rear of Glen, and Lord Roberts is sending forward troops to engage them. The 7th infantry division Pad part of Gen. Frenches cavalry have been sent up to join the 14th brigade and the two cavalry regiments that are holding Glen and its enviroas. ' Prcsulent Krugcr on the 29th issued a proclamation warning the women and children to leave Bioemfontein within five days, as he intends to bombard and destroy the city and to shoot the burghers whom he captures there. ThjMleparture of the British transports'with the Boer prisoners for St. Helena has been delayed in consequence of increased sickness among the prisoners. Three died on Mar. 31 and 12 died during the week. The Dutch who surrendered their arms at Ladybrand a short time ago are now suffering seizures of their live stock. ~ It is estimated that, there are about 20,000 Boers guarding the nine passes over the Drake nsberg range. Dr. Leyds informs the Berlin press that 400,000 marks have been collected in Germany for the Boers. Another death from bubonic plague has occurred at Sydney, N. S. W>, and two fresh cases are officially reported. ' THE MARKET!*. [Copyright, tm, by i » u l s Klopsch.] Text, Psalm cxviii, *4: 4The Lord is n y stremfch a r t JO&iv" The most fascinating theme for a heart properly attuned U the Saviour. There i t something l a the morning light to suggest H i m and something In the evening shadow tor^epeak His praise. The flower breathes Him, the stars shine on Him, the cascade proclaims Him; all the voices of nature chant Him. • Whatever is grand, bright and beautiful, if you only lMten to it, will speak His praise. So when in the summer time I pluck a flower I think of Him who is "the Rose of Sharon and the Lily of the Valley." When I see [n the fields a lamb, I say, "Behold the Lamb of God that taketh away the sin of the world." When in very hot weather I come under a projecting cliff, I say: Rock of ages, cleft for me, Let me hide myself in thee! Over the old-fashioned pulpits there was a sounding board. The voice of the minister rose to the sounding board and the^i %aa struck baefc again upon the ears of the people. And so the 10,000 voices of earth rising up find the heavens a sounding board which strikes back to the ear of all nations the praises of Christ. The heavens tell His glory, and the earth shows H i s handiwork. The Bible thrills with one great story of redemption. Upon a blasted and faded paradise it poured a light of grorious restoration. It looked upon Abraham from the ram caught in,the thicket. It spoke in the bleating of the herds driven down to Jerusalem for sacrifice. It put infinite pathos t lato the speech of uncouth fishermen/1 It lifted Paul Into HIP third heaven, and it broke upon the ear of St. John with the brazen trumpets and the doxology^of the elders and the rushing yfeigsyof the seraphim. ' ^ 3 Instead of waiting untH you get sick and worn /out before you sing the praise of Christ, while your heart is happiest and your step Is lightest and your fortunes smile and your pathway blossoms and the overarching heavens drop upon you their benediction, speak the praises of Jesus. The old Greek orators, when they saw their audiences inattentive and slunibering, had one word with which they would rouse them up to the greatest enthusiasm. In the midst of their orations they would stop .and cry OUt " M a r a f h n n t " ftn(, ^ ^ p e o p l e ' s e n - s hearers, though you may. have been borne down with sin, and though trouble and trials and temptation may have come upon you, and you feel today hardly like looking up, methinks there is one.grand, royal, imperial word that ought to rouse your soul to infinite rejoicing, and that word is "Jesus."

I remark, in the first place, that Christ ought to be the cradle song. What our mothers sang to us when they put us to sleep is singing yet* We may have forgotten the words; but they went into the fiber of our soul and will forever be a part of i t It is not so much what you formally teach your children as what you sing to them. A hymn has wings. and can fly everyportaBt if your ohWdren gtow-ap, but perhaps they may n o t Their pathway may be short. Jesus may he wanting that child. Then there will be a soundless step in the dwelling and'the youAfal pulse will begin to flutter and little hands will be lifted for help. You canaet help. And a great agony will pinch at your heart, ami the cradle will be empty, and the nursery will be empty, and your soul will be empty. No little feet standing on the-stairs. No toys scattered o h the carpet; No quick following from room to room. No strange, and wwirtfiTig o , " " ^ ^ ? 1 No upturned face with laughing blue eyes come for*a kiss, but only a grave and a wreath of white blossoms on the top of it and bitter desolation and a sighing at nightfall with no one to put to bed. The heavenly shepherd will take that lamb safely anyhow, whether you have been faithful or unfaithful, but would it not have been pleasanter if you could have heard from^those lips the praises of Christ*? I never read anything more beautiful than this about a child's departure. The account said, "She folded her hands, kissed her mother good-bye, sang her hymn, turned her face to the wall, said her little prayer and then died." Oh, if I could gather up in one paragraph the last words of the little ones who have gone out from all these Christian circles, and T could picture the. calm looks and the folded hands and- sweet departure, methinks it would be grand and beautiful as one of heaven's great doxologles! In my pariBh in Philadelphia a little child was departing. She had beeneick all her days and a cripple. It was noonday when she went, and, as the shadow of death gathered on her eyelid she thought it was evening and time to go to bed, and so she said, ''Good night, papa! Good night, mamma!" .And then she was gone! It was "good night" to pain and "good night" to tears and "good night" to death and "good night" to earth, but it was "good morning" to Jesus—it was "good morning" to heaven. I can think p^f no cradle song more beautiful than Jesus. old its Songs for the Old. I next speak of Christ as the man's song. Quick music loses charm-for the- aged ear. The schoolgirl asks for a schottlsch or a glee, but her grandmother asks for "Balerma" or the "Portuguese Hymn." Fifty years of trouble have tamed the spirit, and the keys of the music board must, have a solemn tread. Though the voice may be tremulous, so that grandfather will not trust it in church, still he has the psalm book open before him, ^tnd he sings with "his soul. He hums his grandchild asleep with the same tune he sang forty years ago in ] the.old country meeting house. SoraV day the choir sings a tune so old that the young people do not know it, but | it starts the tears down the cheek of the aged man, for it reminds him of the revival scene in which he participated and of the radiant faces that long since went to dust and of the i i a y haired minister leaning over the pulpit and sounding the good tidings of great joy. I was one Thanksgiving day in my pulpit in Syracuse, and Rev. Daniel Waldo, at 98 years of age, stood beside me. The choir sang a tune. I said, Taking the suggestion of the t e x t r f f ^ 1 a m s 0 " ^ they sang that new tune; nobody seems to know i t " "Bless you, my son," said the old man, "I heard that seventy-years ago." There was a song today that touched the life of the aged with holy fire and kindled a glory on their vision that your younger eyesight cannot see. It was the song of salvation—Jesus, who fed them all their lives long; Jesus, who wiped away their tears; Jesus, who stood by them when all else GRAIN, ETC.

There is a place in Switzerland, where if you distinctly utter your voice, here come back ten or fifteen distinct echoes, and every Christian song sung by a mother in the ear of her child shall have 10,000 echoes coming back from all the gates of heaven. Oh, if mothers only knew the power of this 3acred spell, how much oftener the little ones would be gathered, and all our homes would chime with the songs of Jesus! We want some counteracting influence upon our children. The very moment your chtid steps into the street he steps into the path of temptation. There are foul-mouthed children who would like to be soil your little ones. It will not do t o keep you boys and girls in the house and make them house plants. They must have fresh air and recreation, God save your children from the scathing, blast: damning influence of the street! know of no counteracting influence but the power of Christian culture and example.

This is immarriage was consecrated and whose resurrection has poured light upon the graves of their departed. "Do you know me?" said the wife to her aged husband, who was dying, his mind already having gone out. He said, "No." And the son said, "Father, do you know me?" He said, "No." The daughter said, "Father, do you know me?" He said, "No." The minister of the gospel, standing by, said, "Do you know Jesus?" "Oh, yes," he said, "I knew Him, 'chief among 10,000, the one altogether lovely!'" Blessed the 'Bible in which spectacled old age reads the promise, "I will never leave you, never forsake you!" Blessed the staff on which the worn out pilgrim totters J on toward the welcome of his RedeeKStH er! Blessed the hymn book in which the faltering tongue and the failing eyes find Jesus, the old man's song! When my mother had been put awaftr for the resurrection, we, the childrert, came to the old. homestead, and each one wanted to take away a memento of her who had loved us so long and loved us so well. I think I took away the best of all the mementoes; it was e o!d«-fashioned round-glass spectaclesVthrough which she used to read her B^ble, and I put them on, but {hey were too old for me, and I could hot see across the room. But through them I could see back, to childhood and forward to the hills of heaven, where the ankles t h a t were -stiff with age | have become limber agaln^and the spirit, with restored eyesight, stands fin rapt exultation, crying, "This is teatmr*:;: • r\;r, Words of VeaeW I speak to yon again of Jesus as the nighV son. Job speaks of B i m who giveth songs in the night John Welch, the old Scotch minister, uaed> t o put a plaid across hit bed.on cold njghtfft and some one asked him why he put that there.

Commercial losses put put one star, slanderous abuse puts out another star, domestic bereavement has put out 1,000 lights, and gloom has been added to gloom and chill to chill and sting to sting, and one midnight has seemed to borrow the fold from another midnight to wrap itself In more unbearable darkness, but Christ has spoken peace to your-heart, and you sing; Jesus, lover of my soul, Let me to thy bosom fly, While the billows near me roll, While the tempest still is high. Hide me, O my Saviour! Hide _ TW the storm otirfirlff passed, Safe Into the haven guide; Oh, receive my soul, at last. Songs in the night! Songs in. the night! For the sick, who have no one to turn the hot pillow, no one to put the taper on the stand, no one to put ice on the temples or pour out the soothing anodyne or utter one,cheerful word. Yet songs in the night! For the poor, who freeze in the winter's cold and swelter in the summer's heat and munch the hard crusts that bleed the sore gums and shiver Under blankets that cannot any longer be patched and tremble because rent day is come and they may be set out on the sidewalk and looking into the starved face, of the child and seeing famine there and death there, coming heme from the bakery and saying In the presence of the little famished ones "Oh, my God, flour has gone up!" Yet songs in the night! Song3 in the night! For the widow who goes to get the back pay of'her husband, slain by the "sharpshooters," and knows it is the last help she will have, moving out or.a comfortable home in desolation, death turning back from the exhausting cough and the pale cheek andthe lusterless eye and refusing all relief. Yet songs in,the night! Songs in the night! For the soldier in the field hospital, no surgeon to bind up the gunshot fracture, no water for the i hot lips, no kindhand to brush away the flies from the fresh wound, no one to take the loving farewell, the groaning, of others, pouted into his o w n groan, the blasphemy of others plowing; up his own spirit; the condensed bitterness of dying away from home among strangers. .Yet songs fin the night! Songs in the night! "Ah," said one dying soldier, "tell my mother that last night there was not one cloud between my soul and Jesus." Songs in the night! Songs in th3 night! A Christian woman, the wife of a minister of the gospel, was dying in the parsonage near the old church, where on Saturday night the choir used to assemble and rehearse for'the following Sabbath, and she said: "How strangely sweet the "choir rehearses tonight. They have* been - rehearsins there for an hour/' "No,"-said some one about her, "the choir is not rehearsing tonight." "Yes," she said, "I know they are. I hear them singing. How very sweetly they sing!" Now, it was not a choir of earth that she heard, <but the choir of heaven. I think that Jesus sometimes sets ajar the door of heaven, and a passage of that rapture'greets our ears. The minstrels of heaven strike such a tremendous strain the walls of jasper cannot hold i t ***v I wonder—and this is a question I have been asking myself all the service— will you sing that song? Will I sing it? Not unless our sins are pardoned and we learn now to sing the praise'of Cnrist will we ever sing I t there.

Give tho cow tome nice hay now, and i t may be best to put a blanket on her, and then, if you need steep, g o to bed and sleep like a Christian, says a contributor to Home, Field and Forum. I may have some credit marks at the day of judgment for more than 500 cows that I have lost sleep oyer, to make sure they did not suffer need* lessly when bearing young. If in good health, and fed and cared for right, not one cow in 100 will fail to clean within six hours. If one does fail, remove it without delay. My dairyman's father had all of his boys do the j o b - before they were 21 years. With his fifty cows, the case of a retention of the afterbirth 'aid not happen more than two or three times a year. I well remember my first attempt It seemed that I would kill the cow, but I did not, and I never have even injured one sinee. I don't do. It for my neighbors any more. I just order them to roll up their sleeves and go to business. Don't Increase the feed of a cow for, say, nine days after she calves. Treat her a great deal as though she w a s human. A cow can be petted and brushed and rubbed at that time. Pure S od. The farmer that wants a clean farm, must be on his guaVd against the introduction of noxious weeds. There is uo one way in which weeds invade the farm easier than through the admixturo of-wged seeds with clover and grass seeds. It therefore does not pay to purchase the low grades of seeds just because a few dollars per hundred "welghrcan oe savedT T h e w e e d s that spring out of such seeds occupy the ground to the exclusion of the desired plants, and the curtailment of the crop from this cause far more t h a n off-sets tho saving in the cost of the seed. In addition there is the expense of fighting the weeds, and that expense is frcr^ quently so great that it is about as. cheap to forego the harvesting of tho crop in the manner at first intended. We have seen fields that had been sown to grass, in hopes of making a good meadow, yellow with mustard, it is not an uncommon thing to see clover neias white with oxeye daisief. If farmers were wise the producers of' scch seed would not be able to sell it at any price, and would have to b» more careful in its production. But clover and grass seeds aro not the only kinds that need to be looked after. All of the smaller seeds that are purchased in bulk are often mixed with weed seeds. Were it not so our farms today would be measurably dean. To Insure fairly clean seed the farmer must instruct himself as to the characteristics ,of the various weed seeds enough to be able to recognize them at sight.

He told them Inthe same connection that he would give directions that mail- addressed to an official by title only, as to "The governor" or "The secretary of Btate," should be delivered to the Republicans holding the offices and not to the Democrats. Turkey and American Pork. The Turkish government has informed the United States legation that in the future the importation of American pork will be prohibited, giving as a reason for the prohibition the assertion that the meat is injurious to the publie health. Lloyd C. Griscom, United States charge d'affaires, protested energetically, demanding the annulling of the measure. No official information has been received at Washington. Statistics show that the exportation of hog products from the United States to Turkey for the past five years has averaged only 913 a year, hence the loss of Turkey's trade will not ruin the industry in this country^ Big B o t h to'the Gold Flelda. • 1 0 * ftajwai* 8 1 9 0 , .

A year later Haite accepted a writing engagement on the staff of the Californian, another literary weekly, then edited by Charles Henry Webb, better known to old Californians by* his pen name of "John Paul." Harte became editor of this newspaper In 1865, when Mr. Webb relinquished its management. Another contributor to the columns of the Californian was Samuel L. Clemens, who was then makin; his first essays In composition under the since famous sobriquet of "Mark TWain." Like Goldsmith's par:on, who was counted "passing rich with forty pounds a year," these two young writers were well contcn: with a compensation that would now lie resnrd- I ed by either of them w^tii amused con- } tempt. In the Californian Harte print- • ed nothing more ambitious thin bits of verse and slight local sketches in prose. The titles of some of these j were "Side-Walkings," "On a Balcony" and "A Boy's Dog."

CHAPTER VIII. "He is here to answer!" As the Prince spoke those fateful 'words Lillie turned and would have flown to Don's side; but at sight of his face she stopped short, paralyzed with amazement or fear or anguish. Which was It? Had she followed the first impulse to fly to him and beg him to deny this rile slander, what might Bon's answer not have been? But he saw her hesitation and that spasm of conflicting emotions which swept her face, and he strode forward, like a man who knows his doom pronounced and goes recklessly to meet it," realizing there ia oo escape. "I have heard, and I will answer," came his deep, rich tones. He spoke no other words of greeting to. bis untoward visitor. He looked neither at him nor his wife, but straight before him, as if he saw written there the self-denunciation he was fated to speak. ftU is true that I was with Captain Derwent at the time of death; that In a moment of passion I had pointed my revolver at his breast; but, as heaven is above us, I know it was not my shot, but a rebel bullet, which killed him." "An accomplice, perhaps?" suggested the Prince, with-a sneer.—— — Lillie had spoken no word. She stood as motionless as one, turned to stone; and though he would not meet her eyes, Don felt them to be fixed upon him with an agony that was harder to bear than the fiercest words of accusation. "Sir"—Don wheeled round now upon his adversary, and his voice grew toarder and stronger—"what I did I tell you was done in a moment of passion— a moment I shall regret to my lasfi hour. I do not know by what means you have got your -information; but to accuse me of taking his life.In cold blood I will not suffer—and I defy you to prove his death was by my hand!" "I have no desire to/prove it further," was the contemptuous reply of the Prince, whose ,calm complaisance now was as intense as was Don's hot passion. '1 have not the shadow of a doubt I oou}d do so if I chose. My faithful sepoy, who followed you when you left/Pindi for the camp, and shadowed £very step you took whilst you werjrthere, could testify to each word ~W*y°ur I a st converse w!th~~t!aptain ^Derwent He could tell how you declared you would kill both myself and Captain Derwent sooner than allow this lady, to become my wife." He bowed to the motionless Lillie. "He could swear that, when Gaptain Derwent repeated his refusal to your •own suit, you deliberately fired your j-erolvex, and he fell at your feet, crying: 'For Ltllie's sake, Gordon, have a care!' AH that I could prove. Can you deny it?" ^ For one instant there was tense silence, then Don's voice came, strained and hard: "If your sepoy could prove all this, why did he not come into camp and denounce me before the whole army? And for what purpose was he following me from Pindi, may I ask?" "You may." And the Prince's smile was not a pleasant one to see. "You must know, Captain Gordon, where one of our royal house loves, it is not customary for another man to lift his eyes. My jealousy of you was roused, and my sepoy was sent to watch you and warn Captain Derwent of my displeasure. As for your first question, your movements were a secret with ' him alone until he had my sanction to,divulge them. He will never receive that sanction, for now, with this unfortunate marriage, my interest in the subject has waned. You may rest assured yon are free to pass as an honorable soldier for the rest of your natural life.- The supreme sarcasm of the Princess, words was lost upon the haggard man who faced him. "Since you are so generous," said Don, with some calm scorn in his voice also, "I fail to see the object of such refined cruelty in bringing about this— Ahis painful and untimely scene." His tones broke a little in spite of fclmself. The sight of Lillie*8 immovable features was killing him. "My object"—and now Prince Clement Sing laughed shortly and moved to the doorway—"my object was_merely to bring home your guilt to you, «pd to humiliate yonder foolish creaxpfe, who might ha.ve been a. princess. >«and has made herself the wife of a fel- <>&. I have the honor to bid you both •die*." "St**?" DOB'S *oiee shook with the frenzy of his passion. "I will allow no man, not evea Prince Clement Sing, to call me by that name! Your sepoy shall be made to own it as a perjury!" "Find him and prove that, by all means, if you can," was the sneering answer; "for who will believe thai the shot to which you have confessed was not, as he says, the shot which caused Captain Derwent's death? 1 repeat, your ignoble secret is safe with me." The Prince waited for no reply. For a long moment there was silence—a silence full of the bitterness of death. Lillie still stood there motionless, it seemed almost without breath or being. She was not looking at Don any longer now. Her blue eyes were gazing into vacancy, with an expression of horror in them, as if they gazed in reality upon that ghastly scene the Prince had painted—her husband's revolver pointed at her father's breast. The silence and the anguish of it all grew more than Don could bear. "Lillie!" he cried. She made no movement. It was as if she bad become unconscious of his presence or even life itself. / "Lillie! For mercy's sake, Lillie, look at met Lillie! ±rf#tet^ He had gone to her' side now and touched her cold hand, and at the touch she swayed xa little and would have fallen senseless, but he caught her in his arm's and laid her on the low divan. He/fhrew himself on his knees beside_her, and looked at her with his breath/coming in hard, quick gasps. Despair and shame overwhelmed hjm to suffocation, and paramount through it all came the proud fear for that self which had hitherto ever been first with him all his life long—the self lor which he had often sacrificed the happiness of others or well-nigh forfeited honor, for which, at last in a moment of frenzy he had even sold his soul. He saw himself in that awful moment for what he was, and even with Captain Derwent's dead body at his feet he had failed to see himself. Scorned and shamed before men, it brought near to him another tribunal, higher and all-powerful, at whose portals he must needs stand at the last day, and he bowed his head in the with remorse and suffering, "ypji don't believe me guiity of his death? Don't tell me you' doubt met" " "IfAff not doubt you," she spoke at lastjJafcut/jrbu have deceived me, and oh, Don, it has broken my heart!" H*tj^k4d at her wildly; and seemed to ifttftte,. with a new sense of desolatifV that It was Indeed true. He had shattered alike her faith In him and her love. "Oh!" he cried out, "if you had loved me as I love you, you would understand a* d be pitiful!" "I do love you," she answered orekenlyWyou as yon should t>e,'afc God meant you to be, not what you are." "Don't!*1 he cried again. "Oh, If you only knew what a purgatory remorse has made my life ever since that fatal night, you would pity me and forgive!" "I do forgive you," she said, after a silence that seemed an eternity to the man who hung upon her words; "but life can never be the same again— never, never!" She staggered to her feet and flung back the long strands of her flaxen hair from her face with a despairing gesture. With a wild rush of memory l£ had dawned upon her that this was her wedding day, and that in an hour's time she was expected to leave her maiden home a happy bride. Her wedding day! Was it indeed only a few hours since she laid her hand in Don's and vowed that him she would love and cherish and obey till - death them did part? She turned now and looked at him, with the misery of that remembrance writ large upon her face, and Don winced beneath that look as if she had struck him a blow. "Oh, that we could undo this day!" she said. He hnew then the thing he dreaded 'nW~coTnT~in>bTrh~Inr He "had lost her love, and he was yet jto lose herself. And a fierce despair fell upon him. He strode towards her and took her in a passionate embrace. \ "No, I will not let you say it!" he cried hoarsely, "for I could not live without you, Lillie!" MARttH CONVICTED. —AeouMd B«U»»«d on 9 1 6 , 0 0 0 Ball* Guilty was the verdict of the jury in the trial of Gen.

The offense for which Marsh was convicted is a felony and the extreme penalty Is 14 years in state's prison. The most astonishing fact of the verdict is that the jurors had practically no disagreement as to the facts of the case. They first elected their fort man and then proceeded to take the first ballot, which resulted in 11 votes being cast for guilty and one for not guilty. For an hour after they went over the^ case very carefully, discussing the various points and when the second ballot was taken the decision was unanimous that Marsh was guilty according to the evidence. What kept the jury out so long was that five of them desired to condition the verdict by recommending the defendant to the mercy of the court, but after a protracted deliberation this was also put aside and the plain verdict of guilty rendered. Judge H'iest's charge to the jury was fair and impartial. He occupied about two hours' time in reading his charge. Whatever thoughts passed through the mind of Col. Sutton when he read the verdict, he kept them strictly to himself, but it evidently jarred on his nerves, as he was pale and had little to say. Sutton's request for a change of venue was^filed with-the clerk of the court on the 6th, but at this writing had not been acted upon. CHAPTER IX, Bombay at last! "Oh, the terrible strain of those nights and days since the garrison of Rawal Pindi had bidden the newly married pair "God speed," and that journey had begun which should have been one all-too-swiftly-passing stream of happiness, and held nothing but the long-drawn-out agony of tortured hours—hours spent together in closest companionship, yet in which they were kept apart by the widest gulfs. Don thought there could well be nothing bitterer than that stage of the journey which was overT The forced inaction on board the trains, the fierce satisfaction of arranging every little detail for his Wife's comfort, always first Teal-prayer that-had ever rentrhisJ-with tbe-knowi£dge„that.that right to_ bleeding heart "My God, my God, be merciful!" How would she for whom he had sinned look at him when those closed eyes opened? Would she not shrink from his touch as from some unclean thing? Would her love not fail before this blow he had dealt it, or was it that love possessed of a divine pity which would not turn even from the hand that struck it? He took the ivory fan which had dropped from her nerveless fingers and wafted it softly over her palid face. Her long, thick lashes quivered, the white eyelids opened at last, and her blue eyes were looking into his. He covered his face with his hands and bowed his head on the cushion beside her, for he could not dare to look at her now. She put out a trembling hand and touched his thick brown hair. "Don," she whispered faintly, "tell me it is not true!" "I cannot!" The hoarse reply pierced her very soul. Her hand dropped. She burst Into sudden and passionate weeping. With a strong effort Don recovered his self-control, and spoke with labored intensity. "It was not my shot that killed him —as God is my judge, I swear to you it was not; but, in a fit of anger. I fired, and it might have killed him. He Insisted you were to marry that dark fellow, and he would not listen to me, and I lost my head. Lillie, Lillle! don't look like that! Don't! I cannot bear it!" She had stayed her convulsive sobs, and her blue eyes were regarding him in a way that made his proud lips quiver. "You did that, yet yOfi came back to me and told me nothing of it, and yon jnade me marry you!" The words broke from her in low, halting sentences, as if they choked her to utter them. "Lillie, be merciful! It was my love for you that made me reckless. What good would it have done to tell you of our quarrel? For I never dreamt you would come tb know of it." "Oh, why did you make me marry you?" she wailed. And now she broke down once more and wept bitterly. "Lillie!" he cried, be&'de himself do so would all too soon cease to be his; the constant strain to keep up appearances before servants and officials, the utter inaWlity to break down the barrier of pain when they were alone. Sometimes he told himself it had be^ea better to speak that last goodby at Bombay and prolong the agony nolonger; but as a drowning man clings to the rope of succor, he had not the courage to be the one to cut the cord which bound them^Siie^had^onsented he should take her home, and he would go through with it to the bitter em His thoughts never went beyond that end. After their farewell-had been" spoken, what mattered it wither he went? And now they were on board the big steamer at last, and the May day was dying in a golden haze over land and sea. The pilot had long since gone ashore in the tug steamer, and the great Indian land of gtory and death was-^inking fast altera into the world of waters. Lillie stood on the poop and looked her last upon it with a bursting heart. She had come hither a gay and happy girl, she was going hence a brokenhearted woman, a wife in name alone. Don was below, conferring with the steward anent their luggage and cabins. She was free to let tell those salt tears she hid from h i d with proud, Spartanlike fortitude. If she suffered, she suffered in silence, and perhaps Don never guessed how deep that suffering was. He came up by and by, and found her still standing by the taffrail alone. She had checked her tears and recovered her habitual calm; but though she had drawn her veil down, through its thin texture Don saw how pale and worn her lovely face looked. "You are tired," he said, compassionately. "Shall you go below at once?" "I would rather stay here a while I am not in the least sleepy." (To be continued.) GOT. Pinfree Atks White's Apprehension. Goy, Pingree has acknowledged the receipt of the letter of Sheriff Porter in which the latter requested the governor's co-operation in securing the assistance of the general government, through its consular agents in South Africa, in apprehending Gen.

An important case was argued before the supreme court on the 3d affecting the validity of the drain law and the cost of construction of thousands of culverts running under railroad property throughout the state. In 1889 what is known as the Harris drain was built in Windsor township, Eaton county, running alongside the Chicago & Grand Trunk. It was decided to tleepen, widen, , and straighten the drain in 1893, and the railroad company was ordered by the drain commissioner to ©onetr»et a culvert under its tracks. The company sent in a bill for 8111.05. claiming th.at the law was invalid and that its property should be condemned by proper proceedings so as to fix the damages claimed. In the circuit court, the company was beaten. Local Option Defeated in Allegan.

Sterling of Pittsburg said at the Hotel Manhatten: "The day of natural gas with us is practically over, and our city is dirtier than ever. 1 went to Pittsburg to live in 1886, and stayed at first with a friend of mino at Roup, one of the suburbs. At that time natural gas was everywhere in use, and there were open fires in every room. My friend warned me to be careful in using it, and always to laya lighted match on the bricks before turning on the natural gas. I was used to ordinary gas fires, and so when I had reason t o u s e my fire, and the ga3 blew the first match out without igniting, I leisurely scratched, another and touched her off. The aext instant found me stretched out on the other side of the room in a stunned condition, amid the wreck of the washstand, against which I had been hurled. Luckily I Escaped with a few bruises, but I ever afterward treated natural gas with profound respect. There are a lot of people in my town who would like tpjsnnw what takes the place of the gas in the bowels of the earth when we extract it.

But perhaps there are many persons who have never realized Just why It burns and that a certain degree of heat is necessary' in order to consume the cylinder of wax or tallow of which the candle Is made. la the Arctic regions candles will not burn satisfactorily at or below a temperature of 35 degrees C. The reason for this is that the surrounding atmosphere is so cold that the fiame is Insufficient to melt enough of the material for its own subsistence. The feeble heat can do little more than melt out a tubular space around the wick, therefore the flame is small and weak, and sometimes falls altogether. The light, enclosed in a small glass vise, works better, as the temperature is Bomewhat raised by being so confined and enough wax melts to supply the fiame. U Ichor Heels.

TERRIBLE T O R T U R E S Inflicted bj Indians Daring a Seven-day Medlclae Dance. Tacoma (Wash.) Cor. Chicago Inter Ocean: The Yakima Indians nave closed a seven-day medicine dance near Toppenish. A peculiar feature of thl3 dance, and one that the neighboring white people supposed existed only in the minds of the dime-novel writers, is self-inflicted torture of the participants. It has a deep religious significance for them. Of course, not all of the Yakima Indians take part in these barbarous practices. Many of them are well educated men and women and live much as their white neighbors do. The—Indians who tortured themselves this week included several youug bucks who have been away to school. Returning home they relapsed into savagery and discarded white men's dress for blankets and feathers. All of the dancers inflicted numerous wounds upon themselves with knives, stones and sharpened sticks.

A remarkable operation was performed in Chicago the other day by which sight was restored to a woman who had been totally blind for seven years. The operation wa3 performed on Mrs. F. Q. \Parker. ' DT. C. Pnryn Stringfleld. consulting physician of the Chicago Baptist .hospital, assisted by Dr. Allen T. Haight, Dr. Walter Metcalf and Dr. Robert Dodds, did the work. By means of the X-ray It was learned that a tumor in the upper portion of the occipital lobe prevented the flow of blood which should supply the optic nerve. The operation was performed by trephining a section of the skull, then opening the membranes of the brain and removing the tumor. The sight was. completely restored. Pofetaofiffb*.

Futty 30,000 people gathered at the dam and power house stationed north of Austin, Tex., on the 8th to witness the ruins of the plant which cost the city 31,750,000 a few years ago. The powerhouse, which succumbed to the terrific wash of the water, lies a mass of wreckage on the edge of the river, all the valuable machinery either having been thrown into the river or badly damaged by the falling timbers of the power house. The wreck of the plant is complete. The situation in the city is most serious.' The wreckage of the plant means that it will take several weeks to secure even a temporary water and light system, if it can be made possible even then. In the mean time, the city will be in a bad sanitary condition. All the hotels, private residences, stores and the like are without water and there is no fire protection. Churches are unable to hold services at night for want of light and all public meeting are abandoned. The daily newspapers are handicapped in their publications, being deprived of their electric power. It is estimated that the total loss caused by the ilcod will exceed 53,000,000 Yellow Fine Giving Oat. Members of the Georgia Sawmill association, representing some 300 yellow pine piants in Georgia, South Carolina and Florida, at a meeting held in Tiftori, Ga., decided that on May 10 all mills belonging to the members of the association would be run on two-thirds time. This will affect thousands of operatives and decrease the output nearly one-third. It is understood that the limited supply of yellow pine timber in sight is largely the cause of this action, as the association thinks prices should rule higher in view of the small supply. Many of the larger mills have only enough standing timber in sight to last three or four years, while the most fortunate report only a sufficient amount in sight to run seven or eight years. Germany Move* to Secure Intervention. Contrary to statements published in England, neither the German nor any other continental cabinet has been asked by Count Muravieff, the Russian foreign minister, to present a joint intervention note, although it is correct that Germany has been sounding Austria-Hungary and Italy, her partners in the triple alliance, w i t h reference to the intervention question. The reply in each instance has been unfavorable. President Steym in hi* the Free S U t o rplkaraadfct i on April'*, Swld the Wgiresrf we** i x • better position than a t the oortunemot* ment of hostilities. He threatened those w h o had surrendered to t h e B r i t - ish and announced that the Free Stat* had borrowed $500,000 from the Transvaal for the purposes of war. England, he declared, had broken every convention. Referring to, the eorreaposdenew w i t h Lord Salisbury,, he observed! "The destiny of the • republice i s i*> higher hands than those of the Britisl* government, namely in the bands o f the people of France, Russia, and Germany, who are agitating for intervention. The war will soon end. If i t be true that Boer prisoners have been sent to St. Helena we would be justified i n consigning British prisoners t o t h e lowest depths of the Johannesburg' mines." A dispatch from Bushman's kopdated April 2 says: The Boers are still occupying the water works. The light w a s marked by many acts of individual courage. The first man to warn the British of the ambush was a sergeant of the army service corps, who shot a Boer dead with his revolver. Explosive bullets were found on some of the Boers who were captured During the engagement t h e Boers pursued t h e British for miles, killing, wounding and taking prisoners. One squadron of the 6th Dragoons, which entered the action 140 strong, mustered at the end only 10 mounted men. Methuen telegraphs from Boshop {in the Orange Free State, a little northeast of KimberleyX, as follows: Surrounded Gen. Villebois Mareuil and a body of Boers on the 5th. None escaped. Villebois and seven Boers killed, eight wounded, 50 prisoners. Our loses were: Killed, Capts. Boyle an^^'niTamsr^Both of the yeomanry, also two men of the same company. Wounded, about seven men. The at* tack lasted four hours. The corps behaved very welL Our force was composed of yeomanry, the Kimberley mounted corps and the^^th battery of artillery. A dispatch from Lord Roberts on t h e Cth says: A very serious loss has occurred resulting, I fear, in the capture of a party of infantry consisting o f three companies of the Royal Irish Fusiliers and two companies of the 9th. regiment of mounted infantry, near Iieddersburg, a little eastward of Bethany railway station, within a few miles of Bloemfontein. They were surrounded by a stronger force of t h e enemy with four or five guns. Therecan be no doubt but what the wholeparty has been made prisoners. The condition of the Boer prisonersis deplorable. The medical authoritiesseem unable to cope wtta-fche spread xtt~ typhoid fever. There were four additional deaths on the 3d. and the sick are panic stricken. The dead are buried with as much respect as the exigencies of the place admit, but t h e gun carriage is no longer used, a wagon being requisitioned to convey a number of coffins at a single trip. The report that Mr. Steyn had been appointed to the command of the Free Staters and the further report that the Free State has arranged a loan from the Transvaal for war purposes a r e both confirmed*, There is great Boer activity a l o n g the Vaal river. About 6,000 burghers have assembled at various points between Fourteen Streams and Christiania. About 700 men are laagered a t Boctsap. Webster Davis, former assistant secretary of the interior, in speaking of the South African situation, says that in his opinion the defenses of Pretoria are impregnable. Gen.

First falling back from an appalling h e i g h t to an appalling depth, falling from celestial hills to terrestrial valleys, from throne to manger; yet that did not seem to suffice him as a retreat. Falling back still farther from Bethlehem to Nazareth, from Nazareth to Jerusa-^ Jem, back from ^Jerusalem to Golgotha, back from Golgotha to the mausoleum in the rock, back down over the precipices of perdition until he walked amid the caverns of the eternal captives and drank of the wine of the wrath of Alm i g h t y God, amid the A h a b s , and the Jezebels and the Belshazzars. Oh, m e n of the pulpit and men of the pew, Christ's descent from heaven to earth does not measure half t h e distance! It was from glory to perdition. He descended Into hell. All the records of earthly retreat are as nothing c o m - "To arms! T o a r m s !

V , e e Importance af Oo«d Aim. . - T h e importance of t a k i n g good aim. There is Joshua, but h o w are those people in a m b u s h up yonder to k n o w w h e n t h e y are to drop o n the city, and h o w are t h e s e m e n around J o s h u a to k n o w w h e n they are to s t o p their flight and a d v a n c e ?

Joshua, w i t h a spear on which were ordinarily h u n g the colors of cattle, points toward the city. He stands in such a conspicuous position, and there Is so m u c h of the m o r n i n g light dripping from that spear tip, t h a t all around the horizon they see it. It w a s as much as to s a y : "There is the city. T a k e i t ! " God k n o w s and we k n o w that a great deal of Christian attack a m o u n t s to n o t h i n g simply because we do not take good aim. Nobody k n o w s and w e do not k n o w ourselves which point we want to take when we o u g h t to m a k e up our m i n d s w h a t God; will have us to do and point our spear in that direction and then hurl our body, mind, soul, time, eternity at that o n e target. * * • The Need of Conrace. I h a v e heard It said: "Look out for a man w h o has o n l y one idea; he Is irresistible." ' I say look out for t h e man w h o h a s one idea, and that a determination for soul saving. I believe God would s t r i k e me dead if I dared to point the spear in a n y other direction. Oh, for some of the courage and e n t h u s i a s m of J o s h u a ! H e flung two armies from the tip of that spear. It is sinful for us t o rest unless it is to get stronger muscle and fresher brain and purer heart for God's work. I feel on m y head the hands of Christ in a n e w ordination, Do you not feel the s a m e o m n i p o t e n t pressure? There is a work for all of us. Oh, that we might stand up side by side and point the spear toward the city! It ought to be taken. It will be taken. Our cities are drifting off toward loose religion or what is called "liberal Christianity," which is s o liberal that it g i v e s up all . t h e cardinal doctrines of the Bible; so liberal that it surrenders the rectitude of the throne of the A l m i g h t y . That is liberality with a vengeance. Let us. decide upon the work which we as Christian men h a v e to do and In the strength of God go to work and do it. * * * A Y*ar of Marries.

Alabastine is made ready for use In white or fourteen beautiful tints .by the addition of cold water. It la nut tip I n dry powdered form, 1« pack* iffes, properly labeled, with fuB directions on every package. It takes the »ace of scaltne kalsomlnes. wall paper ind paint f o r walla. AlabaStfhe can be' ised on plaster, brick, wood or canvae, lad a chiiflldd can bru-sh it on, WHAT "KALSOlflNES" ABB. Kalsomlnes are cheap and temporary preparations, manufactured from whiting-, chalks, clays, e t c They are stuck on the walls with delaying- animal glue. Alabastine Is not a kalsomina. It i s a rookbase cement, which sets, and it hardens with age. It can be re-coated and redecorated without having to wash and scrape off its old coats. Alabastine i» utilised to a great extent In hospitals, aa It prevents, the accumulation of dirt a n d the congregating of disease germs, being disinfectant in its nature. CHURCHES AND 8CHOOL-HOCSSS. The interior walls of churches, schoolhouses and all public ha|ls should never be coated with anything but the durable and pure Alabastine. So evident has this fact become, that hundreds of tons are used annually for this work. The genuine Alabastine does not rub or scale off. It is cleanly during the long period of its usefulness. Every owner of a building should u s e it.

The precipitation was ltto inc h e s for the state, this being .54 below normal. The ground was generally w e l l covered with snow during the first half of the month. Later, this w a s largely converted into water and ice, and did much damage'to wheat in m a n y places.

Within the past two months two mysterious robberies of beer stamps, by which the government lost 816,000, have occurred. One of these thefts occurred while the stamps were in transit between the treasury department and the general postoffice in Washington, and the other between the postoffice and the internal revenue office in Chicago. The stamps stolen in Washington were worth 810,000, and those in Chicago, $6,000. On the 11th Thos. Blaney, a bartender, at Brooklyn. N.

WAR NOTES. A defense of the administration of affairs at Manila is contained in a report recently made to the war department by Chaplain Charles C. Pierce This officer particularly antagonizes the chaplains of volunteers who have been severely criticising the morals of the American troops in the Philippines, making the oharge of wholesale intoxication and telling of the enormous increase in t^he number of liquor drinking saloons in Manila. The chaplain declares that the figures as to the number of saloons have been perverted; that the American saloon took the place of an untold number of native gin shacks which dispensed liquid poison with deplorable effect upon the American troops, and that the substitution of the regimental canteen has resulted in an improvement in the sobriety of the troops. Chaplain Pierce also"speaks in terms of high praise of the reformation of the critical conditions in Manila, its cleansing and sanitation with the resulting improvement in general health. An interesting topic of conversation in army circles is the investigation of lirig.-Gen. Frederick Fnnston's execution of two Filipinos and the possibility of a court martial resulting therefrom. The story is that the Filipinos captured three Macabebe scouts who were crossing the country near San Isidro and were preparing to kill them when one of the Macabebes escaped and found Gen. Funston with a scouting party near. This man guided the Americans to the rescue of his companions, aud when the troops approached the Filipinos fled, leaving the Macabebes. Several of the Filipinos were shot, and (Jen. Funston captured two of them, took them to the village square and hanged them without trial, as a warning to the other Filipinos. Acting under instructions from the secretary of war, Gen. Wood, military governor of Cnba, has established a treasury in the city of Havana, vrtiich was opened on the 16, for the reception and disbursement of the revenues of the island. All money received at points other than Havana will be transmitted in specie to the treasurer at that place. The secretary of war baa authorized the purchase/by the quartermaster's department of the new steamer Dickinson, at Seattle, Wash,, with a view to her use as a station ship in the new military department of Alaska, subject to the approval of a board of officers, of which Gen.

He points out that there are 90 cases of enteric fever and dysentry in-the prisoners' camp at Waterva; that t h e Transvaal government failed to supply, on demand of the ooctor, the necessary medicines and medical comforts; t h a t t h e prisoners were forced to bivouac on the open veldt; that the sick w e r e placed in an open shed, with an iron roof, and that it was only when t h e new doctor threatened to resign t h a t medicines and mattresses were sup*' plied. He invites President Kruger to remedy this state of things and con-' tracts it with the treatment the British; give to Boer prisoners, sick and' wounded, who, as Lord Roberts says,, "receive the same treatment as o u r own soldiers." ' According to Winston ChurchilL the war in South .Africa willf prove an extremely expensive! business. He says 250,000 men wiH be needed before the end is at-( tained. The question of re-mounts, will continue one of vital importance, Great numbers are now arriving, but owing to the fact that they have to be put to work before time is given them to recover from the effects of the voyage their condition is low and the death rate among them high. Thousands, therefore, will be wanted in addition to those now there or On t h e way, and great resting depots must be formed, together with an ample staff to nurse and exercise them.

The British war office on the l l t h issued a return of the total British casualties up to April-7^ It was as follows: Killed in action, 311 officers and 1,960 men; died of wounds, 48 officers and 465 men; missing and prisoners, 168 officers and 3,722 men; died of dis- ' ease, 47 officers and 1,485 men; accidental deaths, 3 officers and 34 men; repatriated invalids, 288 officers and 4,934 men; total, 13,365, exclusive of the sick and wounded now in hospital. To the war office returns of casualties must be added the losses of the last week and the wounded, aggregating about 10,000 men, making a grand total of upwards of 23,000 officers and men put out of action The enemy's movements south of Bloemfontein have been checked. Wepener is still surrounded, but the little garrison is holding out well. Troops a m being moved to their assistance.; The health of the troops is good, and the climate perfection. Accounts received at Bloemfontein of the fighting of thejtroops under Col. Dalgety, a t Wepener, show the Boers attacked them vigorously, but were repulsed With great loss. The Boers subsequently relinquished the attack, and it) is said they are turning northward. The Niobe and the Milwaukee arrived at the Island of St. Helena oa; the 10tli with the Boer prisoners. Their health is good, with the exception of four cases of measles, necessitating the Milwaukee being quarantined. The governor was notified of the desire of the authorities that the . prisoners be treated with every courtesy and consideration. ' The Boers opened fire on the morn-1 ing of the 10th by sending shells into the British camp at Elandslaagte from three positions widely separated. Troops moved out to reconnoiter and found the Boers in strong force and, well fortified. A naval 4.7-inch g u n replied to the Boers, who have agaiu placed a long Tom in position. A special from Pretoria dated April, 9 says: It is officially announced that a battle has been fought south of Brandfort, in which 600 British troops were killed and wounded and 800 taken prisoners. Lord Roberts is declared to be finding great difficulty, owing to the scarcety of water. Through the repeated exhibitions.of incompetency on the part of Gen. Gatacre of the British forces, Lord Roberts was finally forced to recall him. Sir Herbert Chermside has been promoted to the command of the l l t h division^ Gatacre will immediately return to England. More than 5,000 tons of stuff for the English army in South Africa and a large number of mules started for Cape Town from New York on the 12th i n the British steamer Clan Robertson.

He fetched a, camp stool and placed It for her under the shelter of the BnaiasaU, and. sho took it with a little tremulous word of thanks. She did fcot beg him to sit by her, as once she •would so.naturally have dome, and apparently Don dreaded a tete-a-tete likewise, for he made no offer to. do so. "Are you a good sailor?" lie asked presently, stopping before h«sr in his abort walk to and fro. "Yes, I think so—at least, I stood the passage out very well."

Did ever bridegroom haste on such mission with so heavy a heart? B e r lips quivered. It was the first approach to those other wild words he had last spoken on her wedding day. Grief held her silent now. Some invalid soldiers were Joining the sailors i n the forecastle bunks in lusty singing, and the plaintive words came •floating aft: "We've wandered mony a weary fit Sin' auld lang syne. Don had stooped over to replace the wrap that was dropping from her shoulders, and as his hand for an instant came in contact with her neck £he felt it tremble. The sun was going \ long as there is no lightning or thunder," she answered. "Do you?" "I?" he queried. "Oh, I don't care a straw on my own account whatever happens." She shivered in his clasp. "Oh!" she cried, more to herself than to him, "how could w e ever live together after this?" He felt her shiver, End the awful bitterness of this retribution for his sin seemed greater far than he could bear. "Lillie, be merciful, and my devotion to you shall be my atonement." He was fighting for his love now as one to whom the loss of it meant life itself. And Lillie? Her love and her grief were tearing her heart asunder. She withdrew herself from his arms in silence, and he let her go, while a flush of pain and humiliation swept his face. He knew so well then what would come next. "We must part," came her verdict at last, in a low anfl broken whisper. "Some day perhaps 1 may learn to forget, and I will come back to you; but not yet. Oh, I could not bear you to be with me yet—I could not, I could not!" Her voice broke m a bitter sob, and as Don heard it the last remnant of hope died out in his storm-tossed heart. "I will not be a iurden to you," he said, with great bitterness. "A bullet can end it all and make you free. Nothing matters now;" Th^re was no longer passion in his voice, only the reckless heaviness of despair. He turned and walked towards the doorway, a n d his firm step never faltered. ' "Don!" Her sweet voice pierced that terrible moment of silence which followed on his wild words with an agony that overwhelmed and stayed him. "Don, what are you saying? Do you forget our lives are not our own? We are bought with a price, and one day we shall have to give account for what we have done. For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ." Ah, there was a time when the thoughtless Lillie had been the last to remember that solemn warning. The great trouble had brought home to her its awful truth, and Don -was only to learn it, too, across the tea rof suffering and self-sacrifice. The yearning appeal touched htm now simply through the intensity of her love, and he stoppod short and faced !her once more. "LilHe, I will agree to part, a s you wish; but I ask you, for our own sakes, lor society's sake, to let our wretched secret be onr own. Try to dissemble a little, if you can, and keep up the farce of our happy marriege." He laughed a little, bitter laugh. "When onee we reach England, I promise to leave yourf; free and never trouble you more; but if you humiliate me further here, God knows my will may gixe away." "Oh, m y love!" she cried out, piteously, "don't speak to me so! It breaks my heart!" At the endearment he stood a moment Irresolute, then strode back to her side and stretched out his hands. "Lillie," he said hoarsely, "it is madness to talk of ever parting. We cannot live without each other!" She put up a Utile hand to stay him coming nearer. "Don't, don'X! We can make no Atonement tor tin without sacrffloer My poor father " He looked with her, his face twitching wJin. passion. "Then at Southampton we part," he •aid. In speechless agony she looked a mute affirmation. And for answer Don laughed—the fitter laugh of an overwrought mind, and hurried tut to predown in a coppery mist of crimson and gold. It fell aslant Don's face, and she saw it was palid and drawn. He turned from her now, and, lighting a cigar, stood by the taffrail looking away from her. Moments—long moments— which seemed to her to grow into hours, passed, and he stood there still without moving. Only now and then the cigar sent up a pale wreath of smoke upon the freshening breeze. A lurid glow where the sun had gone down streamed out far and wide upon the horizon; then the glow faded, the fiery purple tints passed from cloud and wave, and suddenly it was night. With a shiver Lillie rose and stepped to Don's side. "I am going below now," she said, coldly. "Good n i g h t " The cold formality which had become already habitual to both seemed for the moment beyond Don to assume, for he took her hand, but did not release it. "The storm is coming," he said. "Look!" Sea birds darted screaming along the crests of the waves, the vessel pitched and rolled helplessly in the trough of the billows, and over all the sky h s u g i l k e a black pall. Don spoke again, and now more tenderness had crept into his voice. "I wish for your sake the squall was over. You must try and go to sleep." She shook her head. "I don't feel like sleeping," she answered. She would have withdrawn her hand, but Don's clasp upon it tightened. "Shall I come and sit with you for a while?" he'asked gently. "Oh, no!" The word3 broke from her abruptly, almost with shrinking dismay, and Don let her hand go, hi3 proud lip quivering. "Lillie!" he spoke hoarsely, "don't— don't turn from me-like this! It is more than I can bear J Won't you— won't you kiss me good-night this once?" She drew back swiftly. Love and pride were struggling fiercely in her breast; but pride domiaated. "All that is over now," she said, with _haughty bitterness. She turned to leave him. "Lillie!" he cried again, and at the passion in his voice she stood still, trembling, "don't say it is all over. I have tried to endure this and I carinot. Let my love atone. Be pitiful, forget my wrong, and take me back into your heart!" She looked at him, and for»^an4 instant their eyes met—Don's wild in despairing entreaty, Lillie's blinded with sudden tears. "How can I ever forget what has ihrpken my heart?" she said bitterly. She rushed from his side then and down to her cabin; but Don stood on where she had left him, seeing nothing, feeling nothing but the blackness of his own despair. Love had driven i h n to break down the barrier and speak the anguish that was dragging Ms soul down to the very abyss of reckless remorse; but now she had repulsed him nothing mattered. She had shrunk from him as from some unclean thing, and death was more welcome than life. Blinded by the salt spray and deafened by the roar of the elements, he leaned on at the taffrail when all others had gone below and he alone stood XK§r*~m deck. ;• F » a n a d e W y , with | awful swiftness, the fail fury of the etorm had burst. The sea had become a sheet of boiling foam. The wind raged and shook the gallant vessel, which ever and anon rose with a long, steady lift to breast the watery precipice, while cleaving the darkness came flash after flash of lightning and the dull roll of thunder, rising louder and nearer above the wild roar of wind and wave. „• And still through it all Don leant on, clinging to the taffrail unmoved* careless, almost expectant every moment might be his last. It was In a slight lull of the tempest's fury Lillie stole back on deck. The rain had been descending in hammering torrents, but now it came and went in gusts. The thunder was rolling away fainter and fainter; only the sea raged sullenly on. The wind lifted up its unwearied voice and the good ship plowed on its way. The pitiful yielding to self-reproach had followed swiftly on Lillie's cold and bitter leave-taking of Don, and now love was battling for victory to speak some little word of wifely tenderness, despite that ever-haunting remembrance of the dark Afridi nullah where her father's blood had been shed. Clinging to the companion rail she strove to peer through the darkness towards the spot where they had parted. Yes, he stood there still. But as she paused Irresolute, looking at that figure on the taffrail so apparently unmoved, an awful fear clutched her heart. Creeping stealthily towards him on hands and feet, under the shadow of the bulwarks, was the snake-like form of a swarthy seaman, an Indian knife gripped between his CONGRESSIONAL NOTES. The senate committee on privileges and elections on the 10th decided by a unanimous vote to recommend t h e adoption of a resolution declaring that iHHon. W. A. Clark, of Montana, is not entitled to occupy his seat as a senator from Montana. The decision was reached after a two hours' sitting, at which all the members of the committee was present except one.. The absentee was Senator Caffery, of Louisiana, and he wired his vote in opposition to Mr. Clark. The effect of this conclusion was to charge up the entire 9139,000 which Senator Clark confessed to having expended to his campaign for the senate, while the contention was made in Senator Clark's behalf that he had not become a candidate until after the state election, thus eliminating from the campaign in his individual behalf the amount Spent in the general contest. Senator McComas was among the senators who expressed themselves as convinced that the senatorial seat was in view from the beginning. Mr. McComas, however, united with other senators in condemning the methods pursued in prosecuting the case. Before this paper reaches our readers A WMh9r>m Tt rang above the storm from stem to stern of the great ship—burst from Lillie's parched lips. The cry was one word: "Don!" Her husband started and turned. Too late! Through the darkness flashed a gleam of steel, and the Indian's knife, uplifted to plunge with deadly aim in bis unconscious victim's back, was buried in Don's breast For an instant waged a fierce, unequal hand-to-hand struggle. With the rolling ship the two figures swayed madly to and fro. (To be continued.) COLOR SENSE OF SAVAGES. Peoples Among- Whom It Is Little Developed. In his lecture on "The Sense of Primitive Man," delivered at the Royal Institution, Dr.. W. H. R. Rivers spoke about primitive color vision. He devoted his introductory remarks to the importance of the color sense in the study of the relation between language and ideas, and referred to the deficiency in color sense which Dr. Gladstone and, later, Geiger, held to exist among the ancients, and to the theory of an evolution of color sense in man within historical times. He then gave some account of the vocabularies employed for colors by several savage races. The simplest he found was among the Australian natives in the Sevan Rivers district, a number of whom had only A r e e terms;; natives from the Fitzroy River showed much the same characteristics. The next simplest was that pf Kiwai, on the Fly River, where there was no name for blue apart from kilack. The last two he mentioned were those of Murray Island and Mabung, which were more extensive. In these four vocabularies four stages might be seen in the evolution of color language exactly as deduced by Geifcer, red being the most definite, and the colors at the other end of the spectrum the least so. It was noteworthy, too, that the order of these peoples in respect to culture was the same as in regard to development of words for colors. The Eskimo, Dr. Rivers observed, differed radically from the language of the tropical peoples he had examined in possessing an extremely well-developed color vocabulary. He next discussed the epithets used for color In Homer, and concluded that the features of his color language were essentially of the same nature as those found among primitive peoples of the present day. Speaking of the objective examination of color sense in the Torres Straits, he said the people showed no confusion between red and green. The investigation of their color names, he thought, showed that to them blue must be a duller and darker color than it was to us, and, indeed, the tintometer had afforded evidence of a distinct quantitative deficiency in their perception of blue, though the results were far from proving blindness" to blue. Dr. Rivers then discussed some of the objections that had been urged against the __ theory of a historical evolution of col- B p s t £?££*.. or sense, coming to the conclusion J~LQ*er grades that it was not to be lightly put aside, though it could not be regarded as fully demonstrated. Finally he considered some of the factors that determined the special characteristics of primitive color language, giving some instances from widely separated parts of the world, in which naffies^TcipTori" seemed-to be derived from the same natural objects,—London Times. the Puerto Rican tariff law will have teeth; and a hoarse cry—a cry that | become the law of_thc land, The little island so peacefully acquired by the United States, though by the exigencies of war, will be the first of the new insular possessions to be given a form of government. When the house concurred in the senate amendments to the house tariff bill on the afternoon of the 11th, by a vote of 161 to 153, there closed what will doubtless prove the most remarkable debate of the first session of the 56th congress. Party"aP legiance carried the measure through, and if the people choose to make an issue of it, it is theirs to decide. Michigan mustered one vote against the bill, that of Henry C. Smith. After some further discussion the senate on the 9th rejected the sectarian school amendment to the Indian appropriation bill offered by Mr. Jones (Dem., Ark.) by a vote of 30 to 16. As has been the practice for two or three years, the free homes measure was offered as an amendment to the bill, but it was ruled out on the point of order that it was general legislation and therefore not germane to an appropriation bill. AYithout division the bill was passed. The measure carries about 88,414,000. The naval department is doing all in its power to relieve the famine stricken people of India. Dr. Lewis Klopsch, of the Christian Herald, has notified the department that he has succeeded in collecting a large supply of food stuffs, mainly corn, for the famine sufferers, and has appealed to the department to transport this supply to India. Charles Pepper was at the navy department on the 10th to urge speedy action in the matter and met with success.-^ With little debate of importance the senate on the 11th passed the Pacfic cable bill, a measure introduced by Mr. Hale, appropriating $3,000,000 for the construction of a cable line between San Fraqpiscp and Honolulu. The bill was unanimously reported by the committee on naval affairs and that it was passed without serious objection is regarded as a compliment to the committee. The house committee on rivers and harbors on the 10th voted to take a trip through the great lake region next Juty at the request of the lake cariers in—order to investigate the needs of navigation. At a recent bearing before the committee, Capt. Wolvin extended an invitation to the committee and the present action is the result The Corliss bill for the election of senators by the direct vote of the people, with the Racker amendment as to the manner,of doing the same, which amendment met the views of the member from the First Michigan district, passed the house on the 13th by a vote of'J40tol5.

Yes, August Flower still has the largest sale of any medicine in the civilized world. Your mothers and grandmothers never j s l z e thought of using anything else for Indiges- usinj? tion or Biliousness. Doctors were scarce, and they seldom herd of Appedicitis, Nervous Prostration or Heart failure, etc. They used August Flower to clean out the system and stop fermentation of undigested food, regulate the action of the liver, stimulate the .nervous and organic action of the system, and that is all they took when feeling dull and bad with headaches anu^other aches. You only need a few doses of Green's August Flower, in liquid form, to make you satisfied there is nothing serious the matter with you. Sample bottle at '. tlons" F . A . Sigler's. ^ w o m a n "Indians make good witnesses and they stick closer to facts than white people." This statement was made the other evening by Judge O. P. Shiras of the United States district court of northwestern Iowa. He speaks from his experiences in trying many cases in which Indians were either concerned or appeared as witnesses. He was appointed during the administration of Chester A. Arthur and since has been continually holding court in his own district and. within the eighth United States judicial district, which comprises thirteen states and three territories. This federal district, leaving out the state of Kentucky, is larger than all the territory east of the Miss issippi river. Speaking of his interesting experience in coming in contact with the Indians in court, he says the~red man or woman is generally, accurate. His observation was general. He says: "Ask a white man if he was drunk on a certain occasion he will try to wriggle out of it, but the Indian will come out with a 'yes' if he was. On one occasion a lawyer asked a squaw if she H- { ,,,e j understood the nature of her obliga- , „ I tion in giving testimony. She ans- OIKJ lor a c e n l - , wered that she had taken a "strong word' to tell the truth and she would do so. She was asked to define the difference between the truth and a lie, whereupon she said: 'The truth is the truth, and a" He is a lie; they are different and you- can't make them alike.' "You will remember that some six years ago an Indian named Plenty Horses was being tried in Sioux Falls for the murder of Colonel Casey of the United States army. One of the'witnesses brought in by the government was American Horse. There had been a Messiah craze among the Indians and a religious phase had been injected into the trial. "In the examination of American Horse he was asked what he knew about religion. There stood hear by a 8mall table, which the witness drew near him. He placed his finger on the Remarkable Cure of Rheumatism. centre of the table and drew a circle „ v . n ce -tr about it, saying: 'This is what the Kenna, Jackson U>, w . va. r e d m a n k n o w s a D o u t r e iig ion; then About three years ago my wife had he drew a larger circle saying ah attack of rheumatism which c o n - 1 t h a t the white^iErknew that mirett- , , . , . . . | more.

Two grown men went strolling unconcernedly up the centre of the Prado the other afternoon with a stark naked girl baby toddling along between them. Not a; stitch did the child have oh except a pair of rope bottomed slippers. Her little brown body was fat as a butter ball and glistened in the sun as though it has been oiled. "Heavens!" ejaculated a Yankee just come to town. "Wouldn't that come and get you? Up the Prado, the swellest street in town with nothing on but a pair of sllppera. That's certainly next door to wearing a pleasant smile." '•It's a little rare," said the other American who had been here longer, "to see a kid like that, but in the country it's so common that no one pays any attention to them. In the city a sense of decency generally prevails to prevent it, usually with the encouragement of the polica. But no matter how little else a child or grown person may have on you'll never find any of them, not even the poorest, without those slippers. That seems strange to none of us who were brought up in the South where even the children of the fairly well-to-do go barefooted. No, sir, if Whittler had lived around Havana he'd never have written his 'Barefoot Boy With Cheeks of Tan.' The cheeks of tan are here all right, down to the last shade of dead, dead black, but he wouldn't nave found a barefooted boy unless he'd caught him rolling out of bed. — "There is a mighty good reason too for not going barefooted t in Havana. The streets of this city are-permeated with the filth of centuries and among the agglomerated collection of bacilli appears in large and virulent force the lockjaw germ. Tetanus is a very common disease here and the people have learned, that it is dangerous to go barefooted. An abrasion on the foot is quite likely to give the undertaker a job unless immediate care is taken of it and even the poorest people prefer to go about with their feet protected. The fact that the stone pavements are frightfully hot in the sun and that stone floors, so common in the houses, are cold is another reason for wearing shoes or slippers. It's mighty uncomfortable walking on hot flagging barefooted and its might" dangerous walking with feet unclad a&out a marble floored bedroom. All the doctors warn Americans again.st the' latter practice. It leads to sciatica rheumatism and colds of all sorts. Yes-slr-ree. You must wear shoes in Havana. You can get a pair of these rope-soled ones that the poor darkles wear for 15 cents and a man who can§ afford that is soon very likely to have his jaws locked on him and be drinking soup through a breach which the doctors knock in his-frOnt teeth." — We the undersigned, do hereby agree to refund the money on a 50 cent bottle of Down's Elixir if it doee not care any cough, cold, whooping cough, or throat trouble. We also guarantee Down's Elixir to care consumption, when used according to directions, or money back. A fall dose on going to bed and small doses during the day will care the most severe cold, and stop the most distressing cough. P. A. Sigier, W. B.

I can talk now, and sing, where before I could scarcely whisper. Can you wonder at my delight? I wish every person who" Is suffering as I suffered might know Pe-ru-na! Only those who have been afflicted can ever know the intense satisfaction and gratitude that comes with a complete cure.* My voice was completely gone. April 15 I felt so elated over the restoration of my voice that I inserted an advertisement in The Star for vocal pupils. The advertisement, which_cost me 65 cents, brought me five pupils, and that was the beginning of my present large class. Yours gratefully, "Annie Wyandotte." A congestion, inflammation or ulceration of the mucous membrane, whether of the head, stomach, kidneys, or other organ, is known to the medical professionas catarrh. It is known by different names, such as dyspepsia, Bright's disease, female complaint, diarrhoea, bronchitis, consumption and a host of other names. Wherever there is a congested mucous membrane there is catarrh, acute or chronic. Miss Clara Stoecker says: "I had chronic catarrh for over a year. I tried many remedies, but found no relief until I saw an advertisement in the paper of your treatment for chronic catarrh. I tried it and I think I am now well. I recommend pe-ru-na to all my friends who are afflicted with catarrh." Miss Stoecker lives «t Pittsburg, Pa. — Mrs. Margareth Fritz, Wilcox, Okla., writes: "I extend my sincere thanks for the good advice have given me. I do not believe I would be living new if it were n o t for you. I had s u f f e r e d with flow of blood for four months, and the doctors could help me but little. They operated on me three times. It was very painful and I only obtained little relief. I was so weak I could not turn in bed. Then I applied to Dr. Hartman. I did not know whether he could help me or not, but I followed his advice, and UBed only three bottles of Pe-ru-na and Man-alin. New I am well and as strong as I ever was, thrfnks: to your remedies."

The girl laughingly said to herself that an opera cloak would be a good thing to have near in case of fire by night. When she unpacked her trunk her warm evening cloak was given a hook near the - closet door. ' She decided also that her night slippers might reasonably be kept under the feed. A few weeks ago, on a bitterly cold night, that very dormitory burned to the ground. The young girl aroused from sound sleep by the alarm, ha J only time to seize her cloak and slippers and flee for her life. Not another of her belongings was saved. Having to run some distance for shelter, the wraps saved the girt from an exposure which on such a night might -have been fata*. Farmer—See, here! You've been loafing round here half a day!

In 1881 he became professor of law in Yale university. From 1885 to 1889 be was minister to Great Britain, and in 1890 was the candidate of the democrats of Vermont for a seat in the United States senate— an ambition he failed to realize.

It belongs always to the reigning Pope, and only he can give permission to enter. Though there are only 225,000 volumes, they are the rarest in the world. The Vatican Jibrary has the only known copy of the New Testament written before the end of the fourth century; the original Dante, the oldest existing copy of Virgil, and a Terence which goes back to the fourth century. One thing favorable .to the electric locomotive is that it can climb hills and turn curves that the steam locomotive cannot touch. A Justice in Hob ok en has decided that children are luxuries and should be so considered by parents. This i more novel than scriptural. When you write to Queen Victoria the paper which you use must be thick and white, and the letter must be put Into an envelope large enough to contain it without folding. A letter which has been folded never reaches the Queen, and the chances are that she never hears of its existence. Such letters are dealt with by the mistress of~Ihe robes, who; if she consti them .of sufficient imnortance. to be ITtfnllM to* HOT 'MaJtHy*, Wliim* tnem to their senders, with directions at to how the letter should be sent to the sovereign. In the canary-breeding establishments of Germany only the male birds are valued, because the females never sing. The method of training the birds to sing is to put them in a room where there is an automatic whistle, which they all strive to Imitate. The breeder listens to the efforts of the birds, and picks out the most apt pupils, which are then placed in another room for further instruction. These are the best singers and ultimately fetch high prices. The number of ova which some of our native fishes produce is so very astonishing^^ thaT^It wouTd^be regaJPdeir with doubt except upon the moat unimpeachable testimony. So many as 280,000 have been taken from a perch of only half a pound weight Mr. W.

The latest innovation among society women is to have calling cards for their dogs. Fido must have his name engraved and an "at home" day on the corner of the card, the same as his feeble-minded mistress. This Is progressiveness and women's rights. It can be aptly styled dog rights. The cultivation of fruit trees along the highroads of France is being evtended year by year. Following the example of the government, the communes in certain departments adopted the practice as a sort of revenue, and now it has become an important branch of national industry.—In Germany, Belgium and the Duchy of Luxemburg also the system is being rapidly developed. That spicy odor that you notice in the cigar box comes from the wood of which it is made. It is not because it is Impregnated with the tobacco. Quite contrary, the tobacco takes the flavor of the wood. That is the reason why a particular kind of wood is used for the boxes of all the best cigars. It is Spanish cedar. It is an expensive wood, porous and spicy, and the only kind which has been found to improve the flavor of the cigar. Adam was the only man who ever held all undisputed claim to the title of "oldest inhabitant" Many a man refuses to do a thing he wants to do simply because some other man tells him to do it.

The Indian now, with a savage grasp on DoaJs throat, had pinioned him •.against the gunwale, and Don, unable to utter a sound, was fighting desperately With his hand for dear life. Then, as through a thick mist, he saw Utile's s.weet face near him, convulsed with anguish, and terrified officers rushing forward. A great lurch of the vessel, blotted. oxA the rest Locked in his antagonist's ruthless embrace, he felt jhimqelf. whirling* backwards into the boiling sea and the waters closing over him. Instantly the captain's voice came ringing Hut inqnlck command': "Senttys let £> the littfeM'oy! Bosun's -matej catf^waj the lifeboat tnyw!'?1 "**tshe Tealtzed The depth- ofTfiat love; Quick as the order, it was obeyed. The ^reat ship was swiftly hove to. But What «i£ony 0f..heart was every second of delay tb the paralyzed young bride! Officers and men had now gathered on the scene, scanning the choppy sea with telescopes and speaking in tense',' awed' tones as they watched the gallant cutter straining might and main tb reach those black specks which rose so often to the surface only to disappear. Lillle stood apart, speechless, almost sightless, in that wild endeavor to peer through the- gloom—of night, while the remorseless deep, was lit up with a spectral terror by the lurid light with which the lifebuoy was charged. Once the ship's surgeon went to her side and begged to take her below. She only shook her head. She was past speaking now. At la3t! at last! A thrill of excitement passed from lip to lip. The lookout man on the mizen-mast had descried the rescue of both the drowning men—alive or dead, who could tell? Impatience to know the worst was checked as the boat came alongside, in deference to the young wife, who stood in their midst waiting—waiting for what? She followed blindly as they bore Don's prostrate form to his cabin and laid him on his couch. The seaman was dead. Had Don, too, passed away across the -mystic ocean, whence the voynger no more returns? In the weird lamplight that still, unconscious face looked indeed as If it already bore the stamp of death; and, with a despair terrible in its calmness. Bhe turned from doctor to steward while they unfastened coat and vest and laid bare the ghastly wound and its streaming blod. "Tell me," she said, "is he dead?" Oh, what a whole history of pain and pathos,lay in that brief question! The doctor looked the sympathy he felt. He was a bluff, stoic Scotchman, inured to scenes of sorrow and suffering, but there was something in that pathetic picture of the strong young man struck down in his prime, and the lovely girl wife in her uncomplaining strength of endurance that touched him infinitely. "He is not dead," he answered. "Be assured I will do everything that is possible to save him," he added cheerily, as his busy fingers sped at his work. She stood aside in breathless excitement. "This is a nasty wound," he spoke at last;, "but fortunately the salt water has stanched the-bleeding. It is after effects I am more afraid of. I should like to get two trained nurses, who happen to be on board, to undertake the case.' 'They are'very -clever. • I could thoroughly rely on them." For an Instance there was tense silence. •>'• ••• "Could you not rely on'myself for one?" was the answer which faltered through her parched lips. "Are you strong enough?" he queried kindly. "If it is a matter of expense, I think you will find I will arrange——" She interrupted him with a little gesture almost of scorn. All her life she had Known nothing of the bitter-, ness fcof;^ovtrty, and now it seemed like a mockery to her to mention expense in conjunction with her love And DOB'S tyfe. "Spare nothing—nothing* that money can buy!" she spoke breathlessly. The doctor paused to take her slim wrist between his finger and thumb and calmly count her throbbing pulse. "We'll make a compromise," said he soothingly. "You shall relieve my nurses from duty now and then; but9 you must remember his life depends on constant care night and day. That settled the question definitely, and Lillla allowed herself to be led away to partake of a strong cup of tea and some refreshment to fit her for the long hours of watching which lay bofore her, for she insisted on the nurse not being summoned at least till morning, as the doctor himself meant* to be in close attendance on his patient at night. In his heart he deeply pitied the fair young bride, who evidently loved so deeply the stalwart bridegroom stricken down to the very gates of death. Yes, Lillie loved Don, even as she had never loved him till now. It was not until he lay before her thus, in the extremity of helplessness, till, pride and pity both forgotten, and nothing but infinite tenderness filling her soul, "strong as death," which, could forgive, even as Christ forgave, and rest on the atonement of the Redeemer alone. She watched by his pillow while the long night dragged on, and he still lay unconscious, motionless, almost breathless. She shed no tears, but now and then she prayed—prayed as perhaps she had never prayed before. Sometimes she put her fingers on his pulse to feel if it still beat; and so she waited, waited, while the doctor came in and out, expecting every moment that change which did not come, but which must come at last. ( It came when the wild night was waning towards daybreak, with a quickening of the languid pulse aisd the faintest tinge of color to the pallid cheek. She stooped over him, believing, with all a novice's delightful hope, that these signs were signs of improvement; but the color mounted to a hectic flush, the pulse throbbed faster and faster, and suddenly he started up and looked at her with strange wildness in his eyes. "I will go! I will go!" he cried. "But you will believe me?" She sprang up and threw her arms about his neck, uttering incoherent words of lov$ and passion; but he had fallen back on his pillow, painfully flushed- now, and his breath came in hot gasps.* "Bhe will not kiss me! My darling Will not kiss me! Never again!" he moaned. "What was it she said? 'All that is over now. How can I ever forget what has broken my heart?'" The words died away in a sobbing whisper, and the doctor, coming back at that moment, found him thus, tossing restlessly from side to side, unconscious- still, but actively, unconscious, with the frenzy racking his brain. j CHAPTER X. Days, many days, went by, and still Don lay in the same state. Sometimes shivering, sometimes burning "With fiery heat, sometimes slumbering in the deepest torpor; often wakefully -alert with the activity of a distraught mind, wandering back to scenes and times of which his watchers knew nothing—even back to days of early boyhood, when he and Roddy had fished together in Gadie's silvery stream, and never dreamed of jealousy or severance in years to come. By and by, as the days lengthened into weeks, there came lucid intervals, and when he awoke weak and wellnigh speechless, but perfectly conscious of his surroundings. And if at those times Lillie chanced to be his nurse he would lie and gaze tfpon her with a look of dog-like devotion in his great brown eyes, often even try to ut- "ter some feeble words of gratitude or contrition for her being there. Whilst even as he strove to speak that deadly oblivion would return and "blot out past and present alike. And meanwhile Lillie watched by him-and waited upon him with a jealous steadfastness, that scarce could brook to share her vigils.with his other nurses—they who could minister to the sufferer's wants perhaps more efficiently than Lillie's self, but could experience none of the young wife's bitter joy which made every little duty an act of devotion. . '.- For she saw his strength ebbing hour by hour as the fever Worked out Its course. She saw his wanderings become more frequent, those fatal torpors more prolonged, and those moments of weak consciousness grow fewer and fewer. And gradually, but all too surely, the awful fear began-to dawn upon her that Don and .she were to be called upon to part by a decree more relentless than hers. Yet, oh, it could not be that he should die—die and leave her thus, without knowing she had come to reallae her Jlfe was" bound up in his for time and for eternity! That his sin must be her tin, and Its atonement hers also aa well as his! Who shall gauge the bitterness of those pleadings, which burst from her aching heart through those long vigils of waiting? For it was known to her God alone. There came a night at last, as they neared the white cliffs of England, that after continuous hours of fitful slumber Don opened his eyes and fixed them upon her face. It waa approaching the hour when she usually relinquished her post to the nurse, and she was kneeling by his side in silent prayer, her cheek resting upon his pili low, her locked hands leaning gently on his breast. A strange reluctance to leave him had fallen upon her, and more than once she had passionately pressed her lips to the short, silky brown curls about his temples. "Lillie," he spoke wistfully. It was barely above a whisper, but she heard it with a great bound of her beating heart, for she knew this was real consciousness at last. "Lillie," he repeated faintly, so faintly that she had to stoop close to his lips to catch the words, "where are we now?" "We are very nearly home. In a few hours we shall be in the Solent." She was astonished that he manifested no surprise. It was as if his active brain had been speeding onward with the ship's throbbing engines; as if he, too, while his fragile barque drifted towards the unknown shore, had been dimly conscious of the great sea of time and space. "Lillie," he spoke again, with labored difficulty, "when we reach Southampton will you wire to Roddy and Di to come to me?" Hot tears welled up Into her eyes and fell upon the wasted hand he strove to lift and lay on hers. "We will go over to the Isle of Wight to them. Wouldn't that be better, Don?" "If you will not mind the trouble," he said, with all the trustful dependence of a little child. And then suddenly, with fluttering breath, he spoke again, so faintly she could scarcely hear. "I dreamt just now you kissed me. Lillie, would you promise not to leave till the end?" She broke down then, and flung herself upon his breast. "Oh, Don! Don! Don't you understand? I will ne"ver leave you—never, never!" she cried. His fingers closed upon hers with a feeble pressure and a look almost of rapture swept his face. Then, still holding her hand, he fell asleep. (To" be continued.) ~ RICH IN MFMORIES. The Long-Neglected Harrison llaasion Finds a New Owner. The long-neglected Harrison mansion at North Bend, 0., has been purchased recently by Mrs. 0. H. Hall of Cincinnati, for the sum of 115,000, and is to be preserved in commemoration of the illustrious men who have been sheltered within its walls. It was built in 1814 by Gen. William Henry Harrison, who presented it to his bride. There he dwelt until he went to the White House, and where his nine children and his illustrious grandson, Benjamin Harrison, were born. At the time the house was built Harrison was governor of the Northwestren Territoy, and as the conqueror of Tecumseh was a national hero. Those were exciting days, times of great personal danger, and no conveniences, and the Harrison mansion, simple as it was, was regarded then as aristocratic and stately. The hospitality of its halls was famous. Not a day passed that it did not afford entertainment for many guests. It is said that on occasions no less than sixty guests sat down together at the long mahogany tables in the great sun-lit dining hall. It is said that the bride was not content unless her cook served three kinds of meat on the festive board at times when cattle were scarce, when settlements were hundreds of miles apart. But wild duck and the fish in the rivers were plentiful, and no group of strangers or guests ever passed the gate in their day's journey who were not begged to remain and share the prodigal generosity of their host and hostess. In those days the estate, now sadly dwindled to seven acres, was composed of 600 acres. From Gen. Harrison the estate passed to his son, John Scott Harrison, a gentle, amiable man, with no financial ability. He lived there until his death in 1878, his property gradually diminishing until at his death he was actually a dependent- Benjamin Harrison was born there and it was his home until his marriage, when he moved to Indianapolis. For years the old house has been vacant The gardens have been overrun with wild, insolent weeds, the fields deserted, the great rooms and halls lonely and dead. Not even the ghost of former laughter and hospitality has echoed for years along its spiral staircases. The spider, pitiful tenant, has swung his tent ropes from rafter to rafter. The lofty headsof the old oaks sigh among their lofty crests at the saddened picture. STATS o» OHIO, CSTT OT TOLano, i . . * seFnrioarn kpa Jr.t nCehre nofe yth me aakrmes 'oofa Fth.

Americans May <>ct Chance to Make Som* hale* There. If the American manufacturer of automobiles looks sharp he m a y have a chance to earn an honest penny In Sweden by selling his surplus stock. It turns out that the cabbies of Stockholm and Copenhagen recently met together in solemn conclave to consider the advisability of purchasing motor carriages. They consulted sundry catalogues from the factories of Berlin, profusely illustrated with automobiles of all sizes and shapes, hunting wagons, motor cycles, delivery wagons, cabs, h a n s o m s and victorias. The cabs, h a n s o m s and victorias alone interested the cabbies; they w e r e elegant of design, rich and s i m - ple, and calculated to invite t h e patronage of the guileless and m o n e y spending elite. Experts were forthw i t h dispatched to Berlin with a view to immediate purchase, while the cab horses in Copenhagen and Stockholm w e r e kept upon small ration's in view of their approaching uselessness. T h e experts returned h o m e , in a m o n t h , victims ef t h e delusive catalogues. The motor cabs of Berlin were as unlike the elegant photographs as a western t o w n Is unlike'the wily auctioneer's flower description. German autos were a s ugly and cumbersome as beer kegs, and they refused to turn corners w i t h o u t big. sweeping curves. The experts next journeyed to France and again returned with s p a s m s of disgust and another tale of woe. The Parisian auto, they reported, was pleasing to the eye, but w h e n it got on a road with a layer of sand a n inch thick it stopped short and would inch thick it stopper short and would not go again.

Do An mala Commit Suicide ? ~~' The question as to whether animals ever commit suicide seems to have been answered at last. T w o cases of as deliberate self-destruction as was ever accomplished by man h a v e j u s t come to light and leave no other possibility of explanation than that of premeditated death. The first of these cases was furnisned by a m o n k e y belonging to the R<n>d family, of State street, Philadelphia. The monkey, whose name was iryp. had been in the possession of the Reeds for some years and had grown up to be considered quite one of ihr> family. Then it w a s noticed that Gyp w a s not quite himself; he refused food and began to pine away. \ veterinary surgeon was called in, and upon, exa m i n i n g Gyp he declared the case hopeless, and said that the most hum a n e course was to h a v e the monkey killed. To the regret of the whole family the monkey was handed over• to a soldier friend to be shot. The soldier took Gyp home, placed him in a garrot, and, leaving him, went down stairs to get his pistol. In t h e . garret was a horizontal pole to which was attached a piece of string. It requirod quite a muscular effort to reach the pole and to catch hold of the suspended twine. What, then, was the surprise of the soldier w h e n he returned with his pistol to find Gyp suspended from the pole, w i t h the piece of string tied Into a loop twisted around his neck! N o other action than that of a deliberate intention to commit suicide could have brought the m o n k e y Into t h a t position, and no doubt remains in the mind of the soldier that Gyp perceived the fate that was in store for him, and in order to avert it preferred dying by his own hands. T h e other case that s h o w s that animals are capable of t a k i n g their o w n lives occurred in the village of N e w Durham. Nero, the big Newfoundland dog that used to race with every train that swept through the tiny station, was the victim. Nero had been beaten for tearing his mistress' dress, and l i s heart broke under the disgrace. T h e n he w a s awakened out of his reverie, or whatever he might h a v e been plunged Into, by the familiar sight of the^rrgine coming at full speed down the track. Nero quietly trotted down to the track, upon which he laid h i n v self, to be crushed to death. All the children of the village followed Nero to his grave. They m a y live to be old men and w o m e n , but they will always believe t h a t Nero ended his life because he co?!*d not bear disgrace.

A Dutch auction at Cape Town is frequently exciting. If a house is to be sold the auctioneer offers 'Fifty golden severeigns for the man who first bids £5,000." Nobody bids. A pause, and then, "Fifty golden sovereigns for j t h e man who first bids £4,900." This is kept up until a bid is secured. But it b y - n o means follows that the house is sold to this bidder. No, the auctioneer is then at it again. Say that £4,400 is the first bid. The auctioneer cries: "There are twenty-five golden sovereigns for the first man who has the courage to bid £4.600." Perhaps n o one has it. Then £ 2 5 is offered for a £4,500. If there is eventually ho bid above "£4,400, t h e man w h o made t h a t bid is saddled with t h e . house. Otherwise he pockets his bonus and gets off free of it all. The authorities of Valley Stream, h.

"Outraged and rebellious as the students were, the edict was final. The morning of Washington's Birthday the faculty came into the dining-room only to find it draped in flags and tricolor bunting. At the entrance they were obliged to pass by a bust of the Father of His Country, with the ignominious sign, 'Not running," Jtiimg about his neck. A largb portrait of the same slighted person, facing the dining-room door, received a royal salute from each student as she marched In soberly to the strains of 'America.' Every girl went to her classes that day in holiday attire—white gloves, dressy gowns and feathered hats— "and joined lustily in*the patriotic -chor uses which preceded every recitation, while the entire Senior class, impersonating Washington, wore placards explaining to the apparently Ignorant faculty who that neglected gentleman was.

That tbe sun never sets on the British empire is an axiom which suggests rather than defines the truth which inspired it. This, of course, is by no means of scientific- or even literal exactness. .But we all recognize the meaning of the phrase; which, like many another rhetorical gem of historic Interest, is very much older than the setting in which it has from time to time appeared. It has been- attributed to Pitt; and it no doubt received from him a splendid send-off on its introduction to the nineteenth century. In allusion to British ministers used the then little known expression, "The king of England, on whose dominions the sun never sets." That it made a great impression may well be imagined. Nor was this felt the least strongly in America; for in addressing the senate some years afterward, the eloquent Daniel Webster reminded his hearers that England was a power which had "dotted the surface of the entire globe with her possions and military posts, whose morning drum beat, following the sun and keeping company'JsltU the hours, encircled the earth daily with one continuous and unbroken strain of the martial air of England." This graphic and picturesque enrichment raises the figure to a high poetic level, in itself suggestive of the inspiration of a former age, , This is best shown by the fact*ttsa*4-erea the phrase has been a sometime possession of several nations. We unexpectedly encounter it in the works of the quaint Thomas Fuller, who, in his sketch of the like of Sir. Francis Drake, says, that "though a poor private man, the admiral hereafter undertook to avenge himself upon so mighty a monarch, who, as not content as the sun riseth and setteth in his_ dominions, may Teem" to"desire to ma&e~~Htt his own where he shineth."

When the ambassador Gondomar was combining business and pleasure at the English court he bade a Spanish grandee who was returning to his own country "remember him to the sun," which he had not seen since his residence in England and which he would be sure to find in Spain. The Spaniards, however, had long been conscious that the sun—was not always shining on some of their territories. In one of Howell's well known collections of letters, published in 1623, occurs this passage: "In Philip II.'a time this crown came to his grandeur, and truly, to give the Spaniard his due, he is a mighty monarch, who hath dominions in Europe, Asia, Africa and America. SO the sun shines all the four and twenty hours of the natural day upon some part or other of his country, for part of the" antipodes are subject to Mm." And in his account of "Historic Phrases" Buchanan quotes the following sentence of a Dutch author in 1660: "The king of Spain is a great potentate, who stands with one foot In the east and the o t h - er—in the west, and the sun never sets that it does not shine on some of his dominions." The same idea also finds expression in Guarini's "Pastor Fido." some seventy years earlier, in which Catherine of Austria is spoken of as the illustrious daughter of the monarch on whose empire the sun never sets. But Portugal had also put forward her claim to an ever present sun, and certainly not without some show of reason. Even now in proportion to the importance of the mother country the Portuguese dependencies are of considerable extent. No doubt she was surpassed by Spain in the great burst "of maritime discovery: But"wHEIh71 hecentury preceding the birth of Camoens the Cape of Good Hope was doubled by Vasco da Gama. and Brazil was discovered by Cabral in 1500. H e r e was expansion east and west". more than enough for a poet to build upon; and, In the Lusiad." Camoens says of the Portuguese empire that* "the sun looks upon it when it rises, it still beholds it at mid-day. and when it sets it sets behind it." In whatever form the figure ts presented, there can be no doubt that it is entirely poetic in its origin, though politic*! foresight may have hastened to adopt it. Its cosmopolitan virtues have endowed It with all the more force p.nd vitality. Schiller uses it with effect in "Don Carlos." and in the course of the Peninsular war Napoleon deemed it politic to remind his army that "the sun never sets on the immense empire bequeathed by Charles V." The phrase seems at some time or other to have been in tne njouth of every nation that had the smallest pretentions to employ it, thou h it no doubt obtained its widest currency after the discovery of the new world. The Romans adapted it to their state of geographical and astronomical knowledge. Tibullus expressed It in poetry, and Rutilius in prose,. And two thousand years afterward their descendants, are speaking of the contemplated visit of the queen to their shores as that of a queen and empress on whose dominion the sun never seta.

The senators of the University of Bdinhurg have decided to confer the decree of doctor of laws on Miss Eleanor A. Ormerod, who has won world-wide fame as an economic entomologist and has spent twenty-three years in the study of Insect pests. Miss Ormerod will be the first woman to receive such an honor from the University of Bdinburg. Sir Alfred Milner, speaking of the outcome of the present war, says that dissimilar and antagonistic political sys'toms must no longer be tolerated *'in the country which nature and history have declared to be one." In tho main the Boers also agree with this statement. The point which is now being argued by "Oom" Paul and Lord Roberts with considerable earnestness is a$ fb which that one shall be. Philadelphia has raised $82,000 of the 1100,000 it promised for the national republican convention. Mayor A&hfcrldge is not without hopes the re- .J&ainder may_be. secured, hut has given Mr. Hanna to understand that he is fortunate to get that much. Philadelphia has been a third of a century building its new city hall and its business men properly object to being hurJ rled for any kind'of an enterprise. Following the "lean years" of the panic hundreds of those who had sought homes in America returned to their native land, some comparatively wealthy, and others not. This was a most unusual condition and probably will hot soon occur again. From prese n t prospects there will be a great rush •from: Europe to Americathie-season; One agent of a .steamship and immigration company estimates the number of those probably new-home seekers^ at 750,000, distributed in nationality as- follows: Irish, 300,000; Swedes, Danes and Norwegians, 200,000; Germane. 100,000; Italians, 60,000; French, 60,0*0; Poles, 10,000r English, 7,000; Scotch, 4,000; Greeks, 2,000; Turks, 1,000; Swiss. 1,500.

But one day Lazarus got sick. The sisters were in consternation. Father gone, and mother gone, they feel very nervous lest they lose their brother also. Disease did its quick work. How the girls hung over his pillow! Not much sleep about that house—no sleep at all. From the characteristics otherwise developed, I judge that Martha prepared the medicines and made, tempting dishes of food for the poor appetite of, the sufferer, but Mary prayed It has been proposed in New York to prohibit by law the publication of scandalous matter found on the persons or in the possession of suicldes~or of those who have attempted suicide. This would be a good thing to do. Persons who take their own lives are often insane. If not actually deranged, their minds are in so morbid a condition as to unfit them far calm and accurate statement. It often happens that, with the intention of explaining their act, they leave a letter or scrap of paper which reflects cruelly upon' the character of one or more living persons. The sensational newspapers print the letter under glaring headlineerxand the injured person has no redress. A mere denial counts for little, and there is no defense against the calumnies of the dead. After all, the failure of the American Students' League of Chicago was quite worth while. The organizitien proposed to send teachers and students to the Paris fair at an expense of 5200 apiece. It collected considerable money and spent a good deal on preliminaries. "Then, through ho dtfeeffault of the promoters, conditions changed so that the contract could not be carried out. This has happened to other projects— and in about nine cases out of ten the sponsors of the project have charged the expenses against the collections. But Supt. Andrews and Profs. Rogers, French and Howland, who lent their names to the Students' League project, propose to pay the expenses themselves and return all of the collections to the subscribers. The case is rare enough to deserve honorable mention. "Polite highwaymen" who have been Tobbing right and left in Chicago for the last few days have apparently takeft t h e niche in local criminology formerly occupied by "the long and short men.". All of the Chesterfleldian couple's victims speak highly of their polished courtesy and their careful avoidance of the knock-down and drag-out methods adopted by too many rude, coarse and uncultured sandbaggera— declaring, in fact, that it is almost a pleasure to be robbed by such courtly highwaymen. Theosophists and students of the Hindoo cults will probably assert that these Chicago robbers are the veritable reincanation of Dick Turpin and Jack Sheppard, but the average citizen, ignoring the romance and the transmigration ^theories will probably rejoice exceedingly when the walls of Joltet finally yawn for the daring footpads and their reign of terror la abruptly ended. that he can do no more. The shriek that went up from that household when the last breath had been drawn and the two sisters, were being led by sympathizers into the adjoining room all thoeo of us can imagine who have had our own hearts broken. But why was not Jesus there as he so often had been? Far away in the country districts, preaehlng, healing other sick, how unfortunate that this omnipotent Doctor had not been at that domestic crisis in Bethany. When at last Jesus arrived in Bethany, Lazaru3 had been buried four days and dissolution had taken place. In that climate the breathless body disintegrates more rapidly than in ours. If, immediately after decease, the body had been awakened into life, unbelievers might have said he was only in a comatose state or in a' sort of trance and by some vigoraus manipulation or powerful stimulant vitality had been renewed. No! Four days dead. Tho Sepatcker of Christ. At the door of the sepulcher is a crowd of people, but the three most memorable are Jesus, who was the family friend, and the two bereft sisters. Wo went into the traditional torrtb one December day, and it is deep down and dark, and with torches we explored it. We found it all quiet that afternoon of our visit, but tho day spoken of in the Bible there was present an excited multitude. I wonder what Jesus will do? He orders the door of the grave removed, and then he begins to descend the steps, Mary and that bound his hands so that he could stretch out his anna In salutation and the tearing off of the bandage, from arouhfi his j a w i «o that he could speak. Wh*t would l^mrrootyt Mft hava b e e * t o Lazarus If he had not been freed from all those crlpplementi of his body? I am glad that Christ commanded his complete emancipation, saying, "Loose him, and let him go."**? OoJy Half Liberated. The unfortunate thing BOW is that so many Christians are only half liberated. They have been raised from the death and burial of aia into aplriUul life, but they yet have the tfraveclothes on them. They are, like Lazarus, hobbling up the stairs of the tomb bound hand and foot, and the object of this sermon is to help free their body and free their souls, and I shall try to obey the Master's command that comes to me and comes to every minister of religion, "Loose him, and let him go!" Many are bound hand and foot by religious creeds. Let no man misinterpret me as antagonizing creeds. I have eight or ten of them—a creed about religion, a creed about art, a creed about social life, a creed about government, and so on. A creed is something that a man believes, whether it be written or unwritten. The Presbyterian chuT^fcris—no w agitated "about i ta creed. Some good men in H are for keeping it because it was framed from tho belief of John Calvin. Other good men in it want revision. I am with neither party. Instead of- revision I want substitution. I was sorry to [Copyright, 1900, by Louis Ktopech.] Text is John xi, 44: "Loose him and let him go." My Bible is at the place of this text written all over with lead pencil marks made at Bethany on the ruins of the house of Mary and Martha and Lazarus. We dismounted from our horses on the way up from Jordan to the Dead sea. Bethany was the summer evening retreat of Jesus. After spending the day in the hot city of Jerusalem he would ccme out there almost every evening to the house of his three friends. I think the occupants of that house were orphans, for the father and mother are not mentioned. But the son and two daughters must have inherited property, for it must have been, judging from what I saw of the foundations and the size of the rooms, an opulent, horn^. Lazarus, the brother, was now at the head of the household, and his sisters^ depended on him and were proud of nim, for he was very popular, and everybody liked him, and these girls were splendid girls—Martha a first rate housekeeper and Mary s a spirituelle, somewhat dreamy,—buT affectionate"tlrevethe '(i(UestT0n~d^BTuThed1sl~aIir'.T&s' creed did not hinder us from offering the pardon and the comfort of tho gospel to all men, and the Westminster Confession has not interfered with me one minute. But now that the electric lights have been turned on the imperfections of that creed—and everything that man fashions is imperfect— let us put the old creed respectfully aside and get a brand new one. It is impossible that people who lived hundreds of years ago should fashion an appropriate creed for our a n d - s o b b e d . - Worse and worse-gets- ^ ¾ ^ j o ^ f t - C a l v T n w _ s ^ ^ - - ^ Lazarus until the doctor announces Try Gr»ln-o!

Deeper down into the shadowa and deeper!—The hut tears of Jesus roll over his cheeks and splash upon the back of his hands. Were ever so maay sorrows comp r e s s e d i n t o so small a space as in good man, but he died 336 years ago. The best centuries of Bible study have come since then, and. explorers have done their work, and you might as well have the world go back and stick to what Robert Fulton knew about steamboats and reject the subsequent improvements in navigation, and go back to John Gutenberg, the inventor of th« art of printing, and reject all modern newspaper presses, and go back to the time when telegraphy was the elevating of signals or the burning of "bonfires-on~the hilltops-and reject, the magnetic wire whlch-is the tongue of nations as to ignore all the exeg'etes and the- philologists and the theologians of the last 336 years and put your head under the sleeve of the gown of a sixteenth century doctor. I could call the names of twenty living Presbyterian ministers of religion who could make a better creed than John Calvin. The nineteenth century ought not to be called to sit at the feet of the sixteenth. Chnnco Jn Conditions. "But," you say, "it is the same old Bible, and John Calvin had that as well ag the present student of the Scriptures." Yes; so it is the same old sun in the heavens,, but in our time it has gone to making daguerreotypes and photographs. It is the same old water; but in our century it has gone to running steam engines. It is tho same old electricity; but in our time it has become a lightning footed errand boy. So it is the old Bible, but new applications, new uses, new interpretations. You must remember that during the la°t 300 voars wnrd<z that group pressing on down after [ Christ, all the time bemoaning that he ' had not come before? Now all the whispering and all the crying and all the sounds of sliuffling feet are stopped. It is the silence of expectancy. Death had conquered, but now the vanquisher of death confronted the scene. Amid the awful hu3h ot the tomb, the familiar name which Christ had often had upon his lips in the hospitalities of tho village home came back to his tongue, and with a pathos and an almightiness of which the resurrection of the last day shall only bo an echo he crie3, "Lazarus, come forth!" The eyes of the slumberer open, and he rises and comes to the foot of the steps and with great difficulty begins to ascend, for the cerements of the tomb are yet on him, and his feet are fast and his hands are fast and the impediments to all his movements are so great that Jesus commands: "Take off theso /cerements! < Remove these hindrances! Unfasten these gravcclothes! Loose htm, and let him go!" Oh, l a m so glad that after the Lord raised Lazarus he went on and commanded the loosening of tfce cords*That bound his feet so that he could walk and the breaking off of the cerement have changed their meaning, and some of them now mean more and some less. I do not think that John Calvin believed, as some say he did, in the damnation of fhfan'tsTaTthough some of the recent "not disputes would seem to imply that there is such a thing as the damnation of infants. A man who believes in the damnation of infants himself deserves to lose heaven. I do not think any good man could admit such a possibility. What Christ will do with all the babies in the next world I conclude from what he did with the babies in Palestine when he hugged them and kissed them. When some of •you grown people go out of this world, your doubtful destiny will be an embarrassment to ministers officiating at your obsequies, who will have to be cautious so as not to hurt surviving friends. But when the darling children go there are no "ifs" or "buts" or guesses. t We must remember that good John } „ Calvin was a logician and a metaphysi clan, and by the proclivities of his B*J ture put some things in an unfortunate way. Logic has its use and metaphysics has its use, but they are not good at making creeds. A gardener hands you a blooming rose, dewy, fresh, but a severe botanist comes to you with a rose and says, "I will show you the structure of this rose," and he proceeds to take it apart and pulls off the leaves and he says, "There are the petals/' and ho takes out the anthers, and he says, "Just look at the wonderful structure of these floral pillars!" and then he cuts the stem to show you the juices of-the plant Do logic or metaphysics takes the aromatic rose of the Christian religion and says, "I will just show you how t h i s rose of religion was fashioned," and It pulls off of it a piece and says, "That is the human will," and another piece and says, "This is God's will," and another piece and says, "This is sovereignity," and another piece and says, "This is free agency," this is this, and that is •that. And while I,stand looking at the fragments of the rose pulled apart, one whom the Marys took for a gardener comes in and presents me with a crimson, rose, reS as blood, and says, "Inhale the sweetness of this; wear it on your heart, and wear it forever." I must confess that I prefer the rose in full bloom to the rose pulled apart • « * Our* Not tho Only VF«rlrt. Backed up by the teachings of your Bible, just look through the telescope some bright night and see how many worlds there are and reflect that all you have seen, compared with the number of worlds in existence, are less than the fingers of your right hand as compared with all the fingers of the human race. How foolish, than, for us to think that ours is the only world fit for us to stay in. I think that all the stars are inhabited and by beings like the human race in feelings and sentiments, and 4he differences inlung respiration and heart beat and physical conformation, their physical confora¥tI6h^t~for the climate- of their world and our physical conformation fit for the climate of our world* So we shall feel at home in any of the stellar neighborhoods, our physical limitations having ceased. r Gottlo* Into tho Light. "But," you say, "I fear to go because the future is so full of mystery." Well, I will tell you hefw to treat the mysteries. The mysteries have ceased bothering me, for I do as the judges A Mother'* Tear** " I Would Cry Every T l m « I W a s h e d My B a b y .

I washed the sores with Hood's Medicated Soap, applied Hood's Olive Ointment and gave him Hood's Sarsaparllla. The child seemed to get better every day, and very soon the change was quite noticeable. The1 discharge grew less, inflammation went down, the skin took on a healthy color, and the raw flesh began to scale over and a thin skin formed as the scales dropped off. Less than two battles of Hood's Sarsaparllla, aided by Hood's Medicated Soap and Hood's Olive Ointment, accomplished this wonderful cure. I cannot praise these medicines half enough." Mss.

As many mothora will be Interested In reading the full letter, we will send it to anyone who sends request of us on a postal card. Mention this paper. the arguments in the case and they say, "I will take these papers and give you my decision nest week." So I have heard all the arguments in regard to the next world, and some things .are uncertain and full of mystery, and so I fold up the papers and reserve until the next world my decision about them. I can there study all the mysteries to better advantage, for the light will be better and my faculties stronger, and I will ask the Christian philosophers, who have had all the advantages of -heaven for centuries, to help me, and I may be permitted myself humbly to ask the Lord, and I think there will be only one mystery left; that will be how one so unworthy as myself got into such an enraptured place. Come up out of the sepulchral shadows. If you are not Christians by faith in Christ, come np into the light; and if you are already like Lazarus, reanimated, but still have your grave clothes on, get rid of them. The command is, "Loose him, and let him so." The only part of the journey I made years ago to Palestine that I really dreaded was the landing at Joppa. That is the port of entrance for the Holy Land, and there are many rocks and in rough weather people cannot land at all. The boats taking the people from the steamer to the docks must run between reef3 that looked to me to be about 50 feet apart, and one mistroke of an oarsman or an unexpected wave has sometimes been fatal and hundreds have perished along those reefs. Besides that, as we left Port Said the evening before, an old traveler oaid:—1"Fhe-^wind is just right Berliners assert that the Paris exposition is far inferior to the Chicago world's fair. brown of Mocha or Java, but it is made from pure grains, an eft he most delicate stomach receives it without distress.

The Paris exposition was formally opened to the public on the 15th, but many of 'the exhibits-were still-con" tained in their original packing cases. Probably more than half of the exhibits are French and the balance are foreign. Eight years have been spent in the preliminary preparations and in the actual construction of the buildings.

One hundred escap-rerd Spanish prison* ers from the province at Tayabas, South Luzon, have arrived at Manila, ^"he insurgents have 400 more Spaniard^ in trhat district. Recently the Filipinos destroyed several rods of t h e railway line s e a r Paniquo, in an unsuccessful attempt to wreck a train. The insurgents have been aggressive in almost every province of Luzon. Gen. Pio del Pilar'* band, numbering 300, which was out of sight for three months, the leader being reported killed, has reappcarod in its old field about San Miguel, Pilar is supposed to be again in command. He gave the American garrison at San Miguel, consisting of -three companies of the 35th infantry, with aGatling gun, a three hours' fight, during a night attack. The loss of the insurgents in this engagement is not included in the foregoing total, as they removed their dead and wounded, but presumably it was considerable. Twelve hundred Tagalos recently attacked Case's battalion headquarters of the 40th regiment at Cagayan, island of Mindanao, The Americans had 15 casualties, while of the attacking force 50 were killed and 30 wounded or taken prisoners. The enemy, numbering 150 riflemen, the remainder being bolomen, archers and mounted spearmen, swooped down in a howling mass at daylight, surprising and killing three of the sentries. TJ*ey swarmed the streets in small parties, some bearing scaling ladders, by means of which they attempted to enter the houses. The Americans tumbled out of barracks and formed in the plaza and companies began sweeping the town. The subsequent street fighting lasted 20 minutes. Twelve of the wounded Americans are now on boai'd the hospital ship Relief. The enemy withdrew to t h e mountains in great confusion. Last week w a s one of the bloodiest, of the war since the first day's fighting- around Manila. Authentic reports, mostly official, show a total of 378 Filipinos killed, 12 officers and 244 men captured and many more wounded. The number wounded is hardly guessable. Considering that the Filipinos entirely lack hospital facilities a great majority of the wounded will die. Probably the week's work finished 1,000 insurgents. The Americans'total loss was 9 killed and 16 wounded; two sergeants and one private were killed in ambushes while ^escorting provision trains. Col. Smith, of the 17th infantry, who captured Gen. Montenegro and took him to Manila, is in the isolated hospital suffering from smallpox, presumable caught from the Filipinos. Col. Smith's command captured 180 officers and men with Montenegro. The officers were taken to Manila. Montenegro, who was formerly dnc of the most -dapper officers-in the- Filipino army, looks worn and haggard. He says he had led a terrible life for months, and he has offered to return to t h e / n o r t h with Col. Smith to endeavor to persuade his former comrades of the uselessness of opposing the Americans. Gen. Moatenegro, one of the insurgents' best fighters, has surrendered to Col. Smith, in the mountains, near Camaling, in the province inan, where, with Gen. Macabulos, he had been trying to reorganize the Filipino army. Col. Smith, with, five companies of the 17th regiment, nearly surrounded the force of Montenegro, who, discouraged by the impossibility of making his men stand against the Americans, surrendered. Macabulos escaped. Twenty Filipinos in the province of Batangas attacked Lieut. Wonde, who with 80 men was scouting near San Jose. The lieutenant and five men were injured and one private was killed. Sergt. Ledoins, of the 35th infantry, was badly injured in an ambush near Baliuag. Lieut. Balch, of the 37th infantry, with 70 men, had a five hours' fight with 500 insurgents in the Nueva Caceras district. Twenty of the insurgents were killed. The military commission which tried three Filipinos at Leallamba for guerrilla warfare, has found all three guilty and sentenced two of them to life imprisonment and one to 30 years' imprisonment. Maj.-Gen. Otis has approved the findings, but has reduced the sentences to 15 years. Two Ladrones, convicted of murder, have-been sentenced to be hanged at Odonnel. Filipinos attacked the American garrison in Batoc, North I locos province, Philippines, on the 15th. They were repulsed with a loss of 106 men. No American casualties. The Philippine commissioners sailed on the transport Hancock on the 17th. The Hancock will stop at Honolulu. Yokohama and Hong Kong en route to Manila BRIEF N E W S P A R A G R A P H S .

Women at a bargain rush behave no worse than men at a railway lunch counter. It!s a good sign when her sex thinks well of a woman. It is a great deal better for a man to wear boots too big for him than that he should be too big for his boots. They say love is hirnd, irot a woman can see a thousand qualities in a man he never possesses. ' It is the money you save, not the money you make, that helps you to independence and comfort. The heart that has passed through the deep waters of tribulation is , the most tender; the voice that has itself cried with pain is the most gentle; the hand that has suffered is the most Boothing ministrant in the chamber of sorrow. The best sympathizer is one who has been a partaker.in the same sufferings. The prosperous man counts his enemies; the man of adversity his friends. Anger is best conquered by kindness. It does not take long for beautiful snow to become beautiful slush. Money always goes-farther in theory than in practice. in- making tea, if the "kettle should have boiled, pour a cup of cold water in and let it boil up again before making, and you will find the tea will be as nice again. Few married women appreciate useful gifts from outsiders—they think their husbands should provide these. It sometimes happens that when a man lospr. his mind he doesn't miss it much. An egotist is a man who thinks himself better than his neighbors. People arp no longer lazy; they are only taking the rest cure. As far as comfort goes there isn't any difference between marrying for money without love and marrying for love without money. It is better to be disagreeable in a Bort. of way than altogether insipid. Sometimes you hear of a perfect man. He is thn fellow your wife could have married MORE LOCAL. 3.

Did not Succeed in Opening the fault Door* Complete line ot Buggies, Wagons and Heating Stoves, Ranges, Wood Stoves _ _ Wood and Coal. On Thursday night last between the hours of 1 and 2, an attempt was made to rob the Pinckney Exchange Bank. An entrance was made at the front door with tools stolen, from Bernard Lynch's blacksmith shop. The knob of the lock of the vault door was broken off, nitro glycerine put in and an attempt made to blow off tbe door, but it was unsuccessful. Tbe front door of the vault is a wreuk. The explosion was heard by several persons, who thought some one was tiring a gun. The vault is one of tbe best in tbe state and it and contents were fully insured in the Bankers' Mutual Casualty Company. Hon. Geo. W. feeple opened the bank at tbe regular hour and .transacted business as usual. The vault door is probably stronger than most vault doors throughout tbe state as it was reinforced by a large steel plate for the protection of tbe lock and sliding bolts locked it on all fous sides instead of only the front as in most cases. Had the robbers gained entrance to the vault ihey would still have bad the safe door to have blown off and the money was even then being several inches of steel locked in an air-tight chamber with a time lock. When the explosion took place which wrecked tbe vault doors, several h«Hs, burrs, etc tlew around tbe room and one large bolt went directly through tbe stove pipe, plate glass window arid out into the street. Another also struck the window breaking quite a hole nearly in the center. The glass was covered by insurance so that tbe entire damage to tbe bank was covered. The insurance adjuster was here Saturday and congratulated Mr,Teeple also set about rapairs immediately. Tbe frame ot the vault door will have to be sent to Detroit where it w.ll be fitted with a door. In the meantime the bank will do business just tbe same and all money will he oared for with all safety. » i ^ ^ — — » JLOCAL N E W S . Wanted—a good rain. Lots of local on page four.

Toe TMftt of Col> SMtoa was Commenced at Lansing oa April »5—The Vroaeentloa la Scheming to Sara aa Blaeta Tints M Voealble. Although the prosecution expects to make more rapid progress in the Sutton case than was made in the trial of Qfltt. Marsh, the chances' are that the trial commenced on the 25th will not be finished before May 10. Should the defense have many witnesses, it will be nearer May 15 when the end is reached. It is expected that time will be made at the commencement of the trial, Judge Wiest having already considered and passed upon most of the motions and objections. These motions include all those made in bettalf of Marsh. The prosecution hopes to gain further time by offering in bulk many of the exhibits, consisting of vouchers, etc., which had to be read into the ..Marsh record, this consuming much time. There are other portions of the testimony that can be treated simi- K. iariy if the defense would consent. The entire first day was spent in a strenuous effort on the part of the defense to secure a continuance, claiming that Tom L. Johnson, the street car magnate who is taking a trip to Europe, was a material witness, and the challenging of jurors by the defense. Judge Wiest denied the motion fOTircon this made-Capt.- Atkinson warm under the collar and he challenged the entire array of jurors. Second Day. The Sutton case carafe to an abrupt close on the 26th, Judge Wiest sustaining the challenge of the defense to both the special and extra jury panels owing to irregularities in drawing them. This throws the case over until an extra panel of 30 jurors can be summoned. The whole trouble seems to have been with the county officials, who for years have been drawning panels without closely following the provisions of the statute and their methods were only discovered when Capt. Atkinson made his numerous objections. After the decision of the court there was considerable speculation as to whether it would affect the verdict in the Marsh case, but Capt. Atkinson did not think so for the reason that the jury which tried Marsh w a s accepted fense, even though it was drawn. rim*. JHIIKIOO »led In Prla«»Bi Chas Johnson, one of the famous three Johnson brothers, counterfeiters, died in the penitentiary at Columbus, O., on the 21st, and was buried from the home of his sister-in-law, Mrs, David Johnson in Detroit, on the 23d. Charles Johnson was 63 years of age. He was arrested at Detroit with his two brothers, Edmund and David, something over a year ago and charged with counterfeiting. The search for and discovery of a complete counterfeiting and engraving outfit in the Johnson home is well remembered. The two brothers were tried before Judge Swan and sentenced to long terms in the house of correction. Charles was taken to Toledo, where he was tried on a similar charge and sentenced to five years in the Columbus prison » i Another Wrack on the Rapid Ball war. Some miscreant deliberately opened a switch on the Rapid Railway line, opposite the Michigan salt works, three miles south of Marine City on the night of the 26th, and as the result the motorman was probably fatally injured and the car damaged to a considerable extent. A small track which branches from one of the big railrord lines leads directly into the yard at the salt works. The Rapid Railway car ran into the switch at a rapid gait and crashed into a box car which was standing on the side track. The motorman was injnred internally and may not survive the shock. The vestibule on the car was smashed into kiridling wood while the upper portion of the car was torn completely off its trucks. None of the passengers were Injured. • • Snlclde at Spring Lake. The little village of Spring Lr' e is greatly stirred by a tragedy that occurred there of the 27th. Agnes Trotter, a widow, daughter of Postmaster Heath, shot herself through—the heart and died instantly. While Mrs. Trotter was at her work in the postoffice on the above date, she was accused by a prominent woman of Grand Haven of being unduly intimate with her husband. The woman was so shocked by the charges that she went to her home, got a revolver and shot herself. She was a leader iji Spring Lake society, was a Sunday school worker and a general favorite.v Hereafter saloons in Manistiquo must be located at least 500 feet away from any school building, the city council having recently passed an ordinance to that effect The Michigan Central contemplates about 980,000 worth of improvements at Jackson in the way of a pew boiler shop and an electric light and steam heating plant The First State Savings bank, of Breckenridge, was visited by burglars on the night of the 24th, who blew up the vault, but could not blow open the burglar-proof safe. Xwo more. free.rural mall delivery routes were started from S t Johns recently, making three in all. The three routes brought in 820 pieces of mail to the local office in one day. Judge Wiest, i n the circuit court on the 23d, fined Arthur V. Buchanan $506 for contempt of court in disobeying an order of the judge. Failing to pay the fine he will spend six months in jail. Marcellus is becoming a center for the marketing and shipping of water cress to the big cities, and the result is quite an increase in the per capita circulation of the coin of the realm in the little village.

An unusual operation was performed upon Frank Herrington, of Port Huron, at the hospital in Ann Arbor on the 24th. He had a cancer on the left jaw bone. The flesh was cut at a point starting at the center of the upper lip and taking away from the bone. The left upper jaw was then removed and the flesh replaced. A silver plate, or rather a silver jaw, will be placed in position as soon as Mr. Herrington is strong enough for another, operation, and the^silver jaw will be a substitute for what nature provided him. • — — Strange C»se at Eau Claire.

Wayland*s village council is in a deadlock over the granting of saloon licenses, and there hasn't been a meeting at which any business has been done, since March 27, and the prospects are there won't be one for some time to come. The wet weather and recent rains are decaying farmers from sowing oats in the vicinity of Willow. It is the most backward season in several years, and farmers say it will be the 1st of May before they will be able to sow their crop. Railroad Commissioner Osborne won an important case in the supreme court on the 24th against the Wabash rail- -wayy which compels that company Accident at the Parlt Exposition, An accident within the expositiongrounds caused the death of six persona and Injury to many on the 20th. A temporary bridge, unable to withstand the Sunday crowd, broke. It is now known that six persons were killed and about 40 others injured. The accident threw a pall over the happiness of an immense throng w h o had profited by the magnificent weather-to visit the exposition. Strangely enough, the bridge had been condemned by the exhibition authorities on the same day of the accident The public was therefore not allowed upon the structure, and in this way a disaster even more terrible than which occurred was averted. The gay crowd was passing along the avenue and some hundred or more persons were walking beneath the bridge, when suddenly an ominous crash waa heard. Before those underneath could turn aside the structure fell with a fearful crash, burying nearly 50. •30,000,000 Fire In Ontario. Five square miles of territory burned over; more than 2,500 dwellings, factor* ies, mills, stores and other buildings destroyed, entailing a loss estimated to reach $20,000,000 and between 12,000 and 15,000 men, women and children homeless, is a summing up of the havoc wrought by fire at Hull and in Ottawa, Ont., on the 26th. Most of the lumber mills in Ottawa and Hull have disappeared and are now mere heaps of charred wood and ashes. Half a dozen churches and schools, a number of mills, the Hull waterworks, the Hull courthouse and jail, the convent—almost every business place and about 1,000 dwellings and shops at that place have been destroyed. Indeed, practically nothing of the village is left but a church and a few houses beyond it. to f l T h e season for the beautiful trailing arbutus is at hand.

He got hold of what he supposed was a root and pulled it out. The root proved to be a blue racer, and the haste with which the boy dropped it was a caution. After killing the snake he measured it and found it was five feet and seven inches long. There is so much patriotism at Kalkaska that the residents are not able to vent it sufficiently on the Fourth of July, so they are going to make their celebration of the nation's birthday this year cover two days, the same as they did last year. Another thing, too, is that by having a two days' celebration the saloons are able to assist on one day without violating the law. Three Detroiters committed suicide on the 23d. They were: A. P.'

The British drove them out of a kopje north of Karee. Our outposts are still harassed by moving commandos. In an outpost affair on the 28th several Boers were killed. The enemy will certainly make a stand at Kroonstad, where they have constructed miles of trenches." Cronje (supposed to be the second son of the imprisoned Boer general) reports that with a Btrong commando h e attacked the British northeast of Boe> hof. A heavy engagement followed -and the English were driven from kopje to kopje. The federals displayed great courage and resolution and spiritedly chased the enemy in the direction of Boshof.

Commissioner Wilson of the internal revenue bureau has received an inquiry as to whether under the new Puerto Rican act, beer exported to Puerto Rico will'be required to be stamped .under existing revenue regulations as. applied for home consumption, or if it can be removed under export stamps as heretofore. In his reply the commissioner calls attention to the ruling of. his office to the effect that Puerto Rico is not a foreign country within the meaping of the customs drawback law, and that.therefore, no refund of duty can be allowed by way of- drawback on goods exported to that country.

The Indian w h o s e knife had pierced Don's breast w a s no other t h a n t h e sepoy who, in the secret service of the Prince, had followed D o n i n t o Tirah. H i s orders had been to s h o o t Don, but in the gathering dusk of the nullah he had m i s t a k e n Captain D e r w e n t for his intended victim. He had thereupon graphically reported Don's every word and a c t i o n to try to account for the e x - c i t e m e n t w h i c h led to the misdirection of his o w n rifle; but the excuse had weighed not a t all with the haughty potentate, w h o s e imperious will had thus been frustrated.

In, v a i n Diana, with her larger faith and greater endurance, tried to solace her.

There w a s no question of proceeding to S h a m k l i n , where Roddy a n d Di had fondly expected to welcome bride and, bridegroom to their cottage home. T o the big hotel overlooking the azure sea t h e y carried Don to die. Tnie, the fever had left him now, but it had left h i m prostrate, helpless a s an infant. H e slept continuously, k n o w i n g not the difference between night and day, s o m e t i m e s dimly cons c i o u s of a. l o v i n g hand ever r;eady to minister t o his w a n t s , but t o o weak, too far out on t h a t limitless gulf that flows between the worlds to dream of w h a t awaited him o n either shore. And Lillie? She must h a v e suffered e v e n if she had n o t loved him, and her love during t h o s e l o n g weeks of nursi n g had become to her both life and food. She* sat by him while night waned and dawn broke. "Why seek rest w h e n sleep was impossible?" she argued, And so t h e y let her have her w a y , p a s s i n g in a n d out of t h e sick room, a l w a y s to find her s i t t i n g there, w i t h her blue e y e s fixed 'upon Don's face, motionless, almo3t breathless in her piteous despair. But just as the s u n was rising a n d bathing the fair world w i t h o u t in a blaze of golden light* Diana s t o l e t o her with s o m e refreshment, t o find h e r Bitting up in h e r chair, a h*6ctlc flush on her face, her e y e s mftftflae-Hfflth mingled e x c i t e m e n t and grief. A letter lay open on her lap.

T h e signature -was Sing, and w a s it wonder, a s Lillie laboriously^waded thraugh Its brief c o n t e n t s , passion a n d pain and remorse overwhelmed- her bleeding h e a r t ? * "X c o m m a n d you t o remove the desferlng soul. And 'now Don w a s dying—dying! and that supreme privilege would never be hers. She might never hold his and and s a y : "If we confess our sins, H e is faithful and j u s t to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness." She had told Don s h e forgave him, yet s h e had bidden him g o and work out his o w n repentance and salvation, bereft of earthly comfort and c o m p a n i o n s h i p - Don, w h o s e nature she k n e w w a s s o weak t o resist temptation or endure hardship, w h o knew nothing: of the strength of self-reliance or the trust in a redeemer. __ Ah! w h a t was her forgiveness w u i l h ? • Colonel Gordon from Gadie arrived at W e s t Cowes on the second day following Roddy's message of Don's condition. T h o u g h his son undoubtedly held the first place in the old laird's heart, h i s nephew Don had ever received a large share of his affectionate solicitude, and he w a s profoundly moved by the young officer's illness. Yet it w a s he who resolutely drew Lillie from the sick room, leaving Roddy and Diana to w a t c h w i t h the nurse through that t i m e of dread crisis. H e s a w the strength of the girl wife w a s all but sapping beneath the a w - ful strain, both physical and mental; and It w a s in those short, calm converses by the wide seashore at the brave old soldier's side t h a t Lillie learned the greatest of faith's secrets— " H e . d o e t h all things well." And it was then—then* j v h e n her heavy-laden heart had found relief in submission' to that Higher Will than her own, the vital wave of Don's life, h a v i n g ebbed to its furthest limit, began t o flow back. The doctor's verdict went forth that it was possible Don m i g h t live. Oh, the agony then of t h o s e nights and days! thosa alternate hours when iife and death struggled for supremacy, and each hung in the balance! Once more Lillie hovered a l m o s t incessantly by Don's pillow, living only in that hope of the first look, the first word of recognition. She hungered for it with an eager Intensity t h a t had no thought of self in it now. She longed to pour out in h i s ears the comfort of that proof of the Prince's guilt and his o w n innocence. S£e told herself not even d e a t h could appal her now if b u t . t h a t brief comm u n i o n of souls might be theirs, for suffering had taught her e v e n resignation's wondrous hope.

The natives looked upon h i m w i t h venevntlon, and his mother, w h o a l w a y s wore a w h i t e cap, they called an exiled princess, confusing the cap and the crown as s y m b o l i c of royalty. Mr. Stevenson became friendly with m a n y of the nat i v e s and one of his pleasures was to see the effect u p o n t h e m of h i g h l y civilized c u s t o m s , a s for instance, inviting t w e l v e or more of the waflfiors-to a course dinner, served w i t h great formality. T h e warriors would come in n a t i v e costume and never appeared ill at ease, a l w a y s w a i t i n g for Mr. Stev e n s o n to begin a course and then irai t a t i n g exactly.

W h e n Mr. S t e v e n s o n died, the n a t i v e s built a coral road from his home to his grave, and t h i s t h e y call "the road of l o v i n g hearts."

He has for a l o n g time sought s o m e m e t h o d , of w r i t i n g the Cherokee language.hitherto o n l y spoken. H e found t h a t the E n g l i s h letters would not express the s o u n d s of that tongue, nor would his fellow Cherokees take up the white man's letters. To o v e r c o m e this difficulty he decided to i n v e n t a new a l p h a b e t e a s y to learn and at the s a m e time expressive of the sounds of the Cherokee language. The Indian eye will n o t easily c o m e down to mere lines, s o he used pictures of t h i n g s to indicate the letters or sounds of letters. H e succeeded a t last in forming an alphabet of s i x t y - e i g h t s i g n s by w h i c h he could e x p r e s s all of the s o u n d s of his native tongue. A t the s a m e t i m e the letters are s o large and distinct from each o t h e r a s not to be e a s i l y confused. H e first tried his n e w a l p h a b e t on h i s wife, and found that she could easily remember the s o u n d s and learn t o read. T h e n he called in half a dosen of t h e Cherokee warriors and tried his letters 'on them. H e r e again he succeeded. H e wrote a f e w sentences in Cherokee, and t h e y read t h e m after a little training. C O N G R E S S I O N A L N 0 T C 9 .

T h e association topic, "The duty of the people in the conventions," was discussed at some length, and the question box brought forth some lively discussion of profit to farmers. A committee was appointed to draft resolutions on the death of the late C. M. Wood, and the club adjourned to meet in May at the home of Mr. and Mrs. S. Gilchrist. An excellent paper accompanied the above repot tbut—w^as—rein banks but otherwise money is treated as chattel and such offset cannot be made. If assessment is avoided it is by making a false oath and may in the end prove etfibarassing. PRIMARY DEPARTMENT.

The Luca of Havana, the leading paper of Cuba, which now prints most of the news in E n g - lish for the benefit of Amercian readers, has not yet secured a supply of English type. , Consequently, as there is no letter w 4n Spanish, it is compelled to"mftke two v's, placed side by side, serve in the place of the 23d letter of the English alphabet. I n so doing it is simply going back to the ancient custom in England. W is not properly a letter at all, b u t a combination, as its, name indicates. Early writers represented it by two u's side by side, then by two v's, and finally by joining the two v's at the top the present w was developed.

[Copyright, 1900, by Louis Klopcch.] Text, Philippians iv., 12: "I know both how to be abased, and I know how to abound." Happy Paul! Could you really accommodate yourself to. all circumstances in life? Could you go up without pride, and could you come down without exasperation? We are at a season of the year when vast populations in all our cities are changing residence. Having been born In a house, and having all our lives lived in a house, we do not have full appreciation of what a house is. It is the growth of thousands of years. The human race first lived in clefts of rocks, beasts of the field moving out of the caverns to let the human race | move in. The shepherds and the robbers still live in caverns of the earth. The troglodytes are a race which to this day prefer the caverns to a house. They are warm, they are large, they are very comfortable, they are less subject jbo violent changes of heat and cold; We come on along down in the history of the race, and we come to the lodge, which was a home built out of twisted tree branches. We come further on down in the history of the race, and we come to the tent, which was a home buiU with a round pole in "'Discussions of the war and the twentieth century," reads a notice on the wall of a hotel in Glasgow, Scotland, "will not be allowed until the close of both." So far as this generation is concerned that seems to be a prohibition until "the day after never." Thrift can almost live on what extravagance throws away. The dust from blast furnaces^ is apparently worthless material, but in France successful experiments have been made with it for fertilizing purposes. The land responded satisfactorily. The dust contains ingredients which the earth finds to be stimulating. After all, there is little on this world of ours that is —Without value; The horrors of war in South Africa have been softened by many acts of magnanimity on both sides, and fierce foes in combat have forgotten animosity when moved by the appeal of human needs. Before the relief of Ladysmith a message went from the camp of the Boers to that of the British, requesting, for the relief of men in hospitals, a certain kind of medicine, Which the Boers' medical department Jacked. __The request wan imtantly granted. The Boers' confidence in the 'humanity of-their foes was as touching as it was creditable to the British who inspired i t The state of Massachusetts has a holiday which, althougifit is but seven years old, has attained great popular success. It is called Patriots' day, and i s celebrated on April 19th, in commemoration of the battles of Concord and Lexington. In Massachusetts this holiday has a special reason for its existence, aside from the fact that Concord and Lexington are within the limits of the state. It takes the place of the old Fast day, which fell by custom on the first Thursday i n April. The transformation of Fast day into a day for baseball, fishing and merrymaking was a perversion of what was Intended t o be "a day of humiliation, fasting and prayer." The people were not willing to give up the vernal hoiiday, and the celebration of the anniversary of Concord fight gave an opportunity for retaining it. A bill has been introduced in Congress to make April 19th a n?.tional holiday. Arrangements arc i n progress for the assembly at the City of Mexico next year of a general congress of all the independent governments on the American continent. The ^ gathering will be similar to the "Pan-American conference" which met at Washington In 1389. One result of that conference was the formation of an International Union of American Republics, with a "bureau" of general information. The bureau, which includes in its membership all of the republics, is taking up the preliminary work of the proposed congress. The replies which Secretary Hay has received to his letter suggesting the new conference indicate that all tne American republics will be represented. The conference will have no political aims. It will consider questions of trade, facilities for transportation by rail and sea, banking systems and customs methods, and perhaps it will discuss the feasibility of a permanent tribunal of arbitration t o settle disputes a m o u r the republics without recourse to war. the center, and skins of animals reaching out in all directions, mats on the floor for the people to sit oh. Time passed on, and ttie world, after much invention, came to build a house, which was a space surrounded by broad stones, against Which the earth was heaped from the outside. The-roofwas made of chalk and gypsum, and coals and stones and ashes pounded together. After awhile the porch was born, after awhile the gate. Then hundreds of years passed on, and in the fourteenth century the modern chimney was constructed. The old Hebrews had openings in their houses from which the smoke might escape if it preferred, but there was no inducement offered for it to leave until the modern chimney. Wooden keys opened the door, or the keyhole was large enough to allow the finger t o be inserted for the lifting of the latch or the sliding of it. There being no windows, the people were dependent for light upon latticework, over which a thin veil was drawn down in time of winter to keep out the elements. Window glass was, so late a s two or three hundred years ago, in England ana Scotland, s o great a luxury that only the very wealthiest could afford it. A hand mill and an oven and ajfew leathern bottles and some rude pitchers and plates made up the entire equipment of the culinary department. \ But the -home planted in the old cave'or at the foot of a-tent pole has grown and enlarged and spread abroad until we have the modern house with its branches and roots and vast girth and height and depth of comfort and accommodation. Goorl Hon*** to T.ire In. Architecture in other days busied itself chiefly in planning and building triumphal arches and basilicas and hippodromes and mausoleums and columns, while they allowed the people for residences to burrow like muskrats in the earth. St. Sophia's of Constantinople, St. Mark's of Venice, St. Peter's of Rome are only the Raphaeled walls against which lean the squalor and the pauperism of many nations. I rejoice that, while our modern architects give us grand capitols in which to legislate and grand courthouses in which to administer justice and grand churches in which to worship God.they also give much of their time to the planning of comfortable abodes for our tired population. I have not so much interest in the arch of Traian an Beneventum as I have in the wish that all the people may have a comfortable shelter, nor have I so much interest in the temple of Jupiter Olympus at Athens as I have in the hope that every maji may have an altar for the worship of the true God in his own house. And I have not so much interest in the science of ceramics, which goes crasy over a twisted vase, or a queer handled jug in use 3,000 years ago, or a pitcher out of which the ancient pharaohs poured their drunken debauch, as I have that every man have on his table a plate with plenty of healthful food and an appetite to attack i t Thank God for your home—not merely the house you live in now, but the house you were born in and the many houses you have resided in since you began your earthly residence. When you g o home today, count over the number of these houses in which you have resided, and you will be surprised. Once in awhile you will find a man who lives in the house where he was born and where his father was born and his grandfather was born and his great-grandfather was born, but that is s o t one out <tf A thousand cases. I h»Y» n o t ' b e t a more perambulatory than moat people, t u t I was amazed on the SIM of the house we IIv» fn7 I when I came to count up the number is, there Is in this world no such thing as permanent residence. In a private vehicle and not in a rail car, from which you can see but little, I rode from New York to Yonkers and Tarrytown, on tne banks of the Hudson—the finest ride on the planet for a man who wants to see palatial residences in fascinating scenery* It was in the early sprint* and before the gentlemen of New York had gone out to their country residences. I rode into the grounds t o a d - mire the gardens, and the overseer of the place told me—and they all told me that all the houses had been sold or that they wanted t o sell them, and there was literally no exception, although I called a t many places, just admiring the gardens and the grounds and the palatial residences. Some wanted to sell or had «sold because their wives did not want t o reside in the summer time In those places while their husbands tarried in town in the night, always having some business on hand keeping them away. Change of KetHeaer, From some houses the people had been shaken out by chills and fever, from some houses they had gone because death or misfortune had occurred, and all those palaces and mansions had either changed occupants or wanted to change. Take up the directory of any city of England or America and see how few people live where they lived 15 years ago. There is no such thing as permanent residence. I saw Monticello, in Virginia, President Jefferson's residence, and I saw on the same day Montpelier, which was either Madison's or Monroe's residence, and I saw also the white house, which was President Taylor's residence, and President Lincoln's residence,and President Garfield's residence. Was it a perman e n t residence-in any caseJ?—I-tell you that the race is nomadic and no sooner gets in one place than it wants to that our happiness i s not dependent have known people enjoy a small heavof residences I have occupied. The fact f en in two rooms and other suffer a pandemonium in twenty. There is a s much happiness In a small house a s in a largo house. There is a s much satisfaction under the light of a tallow candle as under the glare of a chandelier, all the burners at full blase. W h o was the happier J o h n Bunyan in Bedford jail or Belshaszar in the saturnalia? Contentment i s something you can neither rent nor purchase.- It i s not extrinsic; i t i s intrinsic. A r e there*fewer rooms in the house to which you move? You will have-leas to take care of. I s it t o be stove i n - stead of furnace? All the doctors say the modern modes of warming buildings are unhealthy. Is it less pier mirrors? Less temptation t o your vanity. Is it old-fashioned toilet i n - stead of water pipes all through the house? Less to freeze and burst when you cannot get a plumber. Is it less carriage? More room for robust e x - ercise. Is it less social position? Fewer people who want to drag you down by their jealousies. Is it less fortune to leave in your last will and testament? Less to spoil your children. Is it less money for marketing? Less temptation t o ruin the health of your family wkh pineapples and indigestible salads. Is it a little deaf? Not hearing so many disagreeables. I meet you this springtime a t t h e door of* your new home, and while I help you lift t h e clothesbasket over ,the banisters and the carman i s getting red in the face in trying to transport that article of furniture t o some new destination X congratulate y o u . You are going t o have a better time this year, some of you, than you ever had. You take God and the Christian religion in your home, and you will be grandly happy. God in the parlor— that will sanctify your sociabilities. God in the nursery—that will protect grour ^children. God in the-dining hall —that will make the plainest meal an imperial banquet. God in the morning— that will launch the day brightly from the drydockrs. God in the evening— that will sail the day sweetly into the harbor. And get joy, one and all of you, whether you move or do not move. Get joy out of the thought that we are soon all going to have a grand moving day. Do you want a picture of the new house into which you will move? Here it is, wrought with the hand of a master, "We know that, if our earthly house- of this tabernacle were dissolved, we have a building of God, a house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens." How much rent will we have to pay for it? We are going to own it. How much must we pay for it? How much cash down, and how much left on mortgage? Our Father is going to give it a s a free gift. When are we going to move into it? We are moving now. On moving day heads of families are very apt to stay in the o'd house until they have seen "everything off. They send ahead the chlldren.a:id change for another place or is compelled to change for another place,, and so the race Invented the railroau and the steamboat in order more rapidly to get into some other place than that in which It was then. Aye, instead of being nomadic, it is Immoral, moving on and moving on. We whip up our horses and hasten on until the hub of the front wheel shivers on the tombstone and tips us headlong into the grave, the anly permanent earthly residence. But. bless God, even that stay is limited, for we shall have a resurrection. A day this spring the streets will be filled with the furniture carts and the drays and the trucks. I t will be a hard day for horses, because they will be overloaded. It will be a hard day for laborers, for they will overlift before they get the family furniture from one house to another. It will be a hard day for housekeepers to see their furniture scratched, and the crockery broken, and their carpets misfit, and their furniture dashed of the sudden showers. It wHI be a hard day for landlords. It will be a hard day for tenants. Especial grace is needed for moving day. Many a man's religion has suffered a fearful strain between the hour on the morning of the first of May, when he took his immature breakfast, and the hour at night when he rolled into his extemporized couch. The furniture broken sometimes will result in the breaking of the Ten Commandments. There is no more fearful pass than the hall of a house where two families meet, one moving out and the other moving in. The salutation Is apt to be more vehement than complimentary. The grace that will be sufficient for the first of January and the first of February and the first of March and the first of April will not be sufficient for the first of May. Say your prayers that •morning if you find nothing better to kneel down by than a coal scuttle, and say your prayers a t night though your knee comes down on a paper of carpet tacks. You x.'ill want supernatural help if any of you move. Help in the morning to start out aright on the day's work. Help at night to repent. There will be enough of annoyance to make a Xantippe out of a Frances Ridley Havergal. I have again and again been in crises of moving day, and I have stood appalled and amazed and helpless in the shipwreck, taking as well as I could those things that floated ashore from the breakers, and I know how to comfort and how to warn, and how to encourage t h e people, so I preach this practical May day sermon. All these troubles- will soon be gone, and the bruises will heal, and the stiffened joints will become supple, and your ruffled temper will be smoothed of its wrinkles, and order will take the place of disorder, and you will sit down in your new home seriously to contemplate. t ReveriMM of Fortntic. But there are others who will move out of large residences into smaller through the reversal of fortune. The property must be sold or the bailiff you cannot pay the house rent. First of a l l sue* persons should understand they send ahead the treasures and the valuables. Then, after awhile, they will come themselves. I remember very well in the country that in boyhood moving day was a jubilation. Going- to th« Father's Honms On almost the first load we, the children, were sent on ahead to the new house, and we arrived with shout and laughter, and in an hour we had ranged through every room in the house, the barn and the granary. Toward night, and perhaps in t h e last wagon, father and mother would come, looking very tired, and we would come down to the foot of the lane to meet them and tell them of all the wonders we discovered in t h e new place, and then, the last wagon unloaded, the candles lighted, our neighbors who had helped us to move—for in those times neighbors helped,each other—sat down with us at a table on which there was every luxury they could think of. Well, my dear Lord knows that some of us have been moving a good while. We have sent our children ahead, we have sent many of our valuables ahead, seut many treasures ahead. We cannot go yet. There is work for us to do, but after awhile it will be toward night, and we will be very tired, and then we will start for our new home, and those who have gone ahead of us they will see our approach, and they will come down the lane to meet us, and they will have much to tell us of what they have discovered In the "house of many mansions," and of how large the rooms are and of how bright t h e fountains. And then, the last load unloaded, the table will be spread and ouFcelestial neighbors will come in to sit down with our reunited families, and the chalices will be full, not with the wine that sweats in the vat of earthly intoxication, but with "the new wine of the kingdom." And there for the first time we will realize what fools we were on earth when we feared to die, since death has turned out only to- b e t h e moving from a smaller house into a larger one, and the exchange of a pauper's hut for a prince's castle, and the going up stairs DAN.'

In his boyhood aad early manhood, ^before marrying and settling downs4pr',ttlKng the>* apO,'> ae lived much"ln^the^'woods, ,hin>bering, hunting, surveying Umber and gathering sprite* gum. On his recent visit to ^the^Boaton^ sportsman's show, he •was lookin|r at th^ big stuffed panther In one cf the Canadian exhibits when he was asked if such beasts are now to be found In Maine. The animal in -question was a big wildcat whose weight, when alive, must have been 150 pounds, lithe and slender in body, hut with enormously developed quarters and wide paws armed with ugly looking claws, the whole making a "critter" not to be despised even by a well-armed man. "Whether there are such cats as that fellow in the Maine woods now or not, I can't say," replied Johnson, "but I do know mighty well that there was one of them in Perham. way up beyond Madrid Mills, in the spring of 1883, for George Hood and I killed htm there, af£er a terrible fracas that took most all night and spoiled a day's work. "It was the same sort of a beast as this one, and not to be. mistaken for those little bobcats, with their stub tails and tufted ears, nor for the blackcats, or fishers, alBO sometimes regarded as wildcats. This is a regular American panther, known in our region as an "Indian devil," because they were the only beasts of which the Indians used to bo afraid. "That spring George and I were clearing up a 'cutdown' in Perham, working for George's^brotlrer, who was getting ready to settle ^ut^ there, Jour miles from the nearest road and as far again from any sort of a house. We had a good big clearing and, slept nights in a Utile Ueanto' oholtor made of poles and brush. "One night, after we had munche-1 our bread and bacon, wanned over the open fire before the little camp, and were getting ready to crawl under the blankets j for a night's sleep, there came, from away over the side hill toward the northeast, a peculiar cry, or yell, that immediately seized the attention of both of us. " 'S'pose it was a bear?' said George. 'You know they can make a mighty mean noise sometimes, and it is about the time they come out of their dens, good and hungry, and plotting cussedness.' "Then, as the yells, gradually changing the position from which they came, seemed to be drawing nearer, we hustled about to replenish the fire and collect a good quantity of wood to last through, the night For, though we were both of ua perfectly accustomed to sleeping in the woods.and had never in all our lives, up to that time, either seen or heard anything alarming in the wild animals that lived in the Franklin county woods, yet there was something In that yell that frightened us both.though of course neither would acknowledge it. "It is 17 years ago, but I can remember Just how I felt aa the darkness fell, the little clearing lost its outlines, aa the light faded, and those miserable, indescribable shrieks kepi coming nearer and nearer, every new one full of a keener horror than the one before: ' There^was a suggestion of something tajftejgy*. pain and hunger, an «xpr^jg&!tf fccpefcaa longing that w e n t V tt* ifery bottom of one's feelings,, and mixed oddly with the growing certainty that the noises came from a griat jpajataer which waa app r o a ^ ^ ^ ' / * "Our argiamen^ was not extensive, consisting <•* j W axes, and ,<ay> ola* double bajxefefr rt»tg»b. There were no bullets, of course, nothing but the fela8rfj?^^ an1 tfusHroT small consequence in dealing with a large animtJ. .. / ^ - •- < "The noise stoppetfand I suggested that Qeorge . turn in while I kept watch.. George went to sleep and I sat / thisw ' .on a log near the fjre and.watched,tas moon slowly sinking, the sparks from the Are drifting away in a light breeze, and heard the purr and trickle of a little brook a few rods in front of the camp, and the rustle of the leaves on the. trees that came close up behind' our 'shack/ for we were on the very' edge of the clearing. It had been more than two hours since the beast had stopped his noice, and I was getting drowsy and' about ready to turn in myself, when close behind us, so near and sharp that it fairly, made my ..hair bristle, came that rasping screech again. This time it seemed as If I could hear a gurgling sort of a gasp after the yell was finished, as the animal took a quick breath. The moon had set and George was quite in the dark till he came out into the circle of light, roused instantly from his sleep. I was struck by the ghastly pallor of his face, as he no doubt was by mine if he took time to notice it. He ran to get his axe, stuck In a log close by, and I took up the gun and we both stood in front of the fire and waited for something to happen. "A few more of those yells, each one seemingly a little nearer, and I could endure it no longer. Plucking up a little courage, I stepped around behind the leanto and fired both barrels of the shotgun up into the air, thinking in that way to frighten away our tormentor. It seemed to have a contrary effect. Almost simultaneously with the discharge of the seconl barrel, with a short but awfully piercing yell, the brute jumped toward the place where I stood from his standing place, thirty or forty feet back in the bushes, and landed so near me that I only very dimly by the light of the fire actually felt on my face some of the dirt he kicked up when he-landed. The leap was so sudden and unexpected that I was, for the moment, paralyzed with fright and stood like a dummy, waiting for him to seize me, as I fully expected he would. I could see him behind me, for you know how one is bothered when going away from a light and looking at once into the darkness beyond. Within a few seconds my wits returned, and I made a break for the protection of tho Are. leaving the cat crouched In the shadow back of our camp. "A sudden inspiration led rap to think of a little bundle of nails we had brought to help build the shelter with. Hastily turning a big charge of powder into the right barrel, wadding it with a piece of lining from my jacketTJ_ then charged it with a good sized handful of those nails, rammed home another bit of cotton to hold them in place, and felt ready for a fight. The way that brute had jumped right up' into our camp had made me mad, a* soon as I recovered from the flrsL shock of it. and I thirsted for his blood, fully determined to put an end to his howling for good and all if he gave me. a chance. "Telling George to back me with his axe, I crept round the corner of the camp and, after looking for two 0* OUE BUDGET OF PUN three minutes, was able to make out the animal still crouching in the partial shadow of a maple tree. It was, df course, a foolish thing to do, for a miss would have brought a wounded panther right on top of us in a jiffy, but my blood was up and I could not wait another second, so drawing up the gun, I took a good aim at the outline^ in the shadow and pulled the trigger. "The recoil of the heavy charge almost knocked me over backward, and at first I could not tell what had happened. But the beast was "still lying in the same place when I looked, and. taking a burning stick from the fire, we both approached him with axes, ready. He was quite dead and that handful of nails had torn an ugly hole in his neck. "So I know, as I said before, that there have been panthers in Maine. That one was over seven feet from the tip of his tail to his nose, and his jump, when we came to look things over by daylight, must have been over 30 feet. "We. were too much excited to sleep any more that night, and the next, after skinning the panther, we had to go out to Madrid to tell the story and send the hide to a taxidermist. It came out in the discussion that followed our adventure that no panthers had been seen in that vicinity for more than 15 years, with the exception of one big one which had been caught in a trap the preceding spring by the farmer who lived the nearest to the /scene of our night combat."

VELDT 5 * A STORY OF THE BOER CAMPAIGN IN NATALXX^ Ey H. E Macaeozie I* J * CHAPTER I.' It was evening—a glorious evening, .such ftB only tropical countries know. The hot wind that had blown all day had now died down, and there was a great stillness; but a pleasant coolness in the air made it delightful after the sweltering heat. There had been no rain for a long time, and the ground was parehed and dry. Outside the pretty homestead the red sand of the veldt lay thick"and fine in the dry graas which covered the wagon track. But inside the grass looked green enough. Perhaps it had received, an artificial shower. All round the grassy lawn were flower beds, mostly of tropical flowers, among which the succulent blue lily raised its long, trumpet-shaped flowers; but there were a fov/ English flowers, too —stately hollyhocks, sweet-scented roses, queenly -dahlias. Beyond the lawn an avenue of bluegum and black nettle led to the veldt withemt. Behind the. house, which was built of stone, and looked quaint and pretiy with a veranda running round it, rose some of the highest peaks of the Drakensberg. A little to the left ran the river Klip. On this evening the sunf too ©ear its setting to be hot now, was shining right into the" sleepy brown eyes of a girl who lay full length in the shade of a gum-tree, a book on the grass beside her. Her head was supported by a plump little brown hand, and she was smiling a very happy, contented' smile, as if seme happy thought passed through her mind. * It was a pretty face, too, with its warmth and healthiness of coloring, u s softly-rounded, girlish contour, its smiling, half-open, red lips, its clear, open, chiimshly smooth forehead, over >vhich little curls of the brown haiT shot with ruddy gold came straying. The half-shut, smiling eyes were very soft and happy just now; but who could- say whether they might not some day be filled with burning passion, with blinding tears, or with the cold, set expression of despair? "Bluebell,, Bluebell! where are you, child?" ' • • ' . - The voice came across the little lawn, clear and distinct on the evening air; and the girl, rising up from her comfortable position, shook herself, very much as a wet spaniel n i g h t do after coming out of the water, and started at a quick run for the house. A tall, angular, spinster lady stood upon the doorstep. "What a head, child!" was the salutation. "Have you forgotten we arc to have company tonight?" —-n^etiv I do believe I had/'-retorted Scotland, who had emigrated to South Africa 10'years ago, was a man of middle age, heavily built, stout, and redfaced, with a heavy chin, a stubborn mouth, and a pair of rather cold gray eyes. But just now, his face was redder than UBual and there was a slight want of certainty in his gait as ho sprang from his horse that Bluebell colored to see. His companion, the "millionaire," was not at all what Bluebell had pictured him. He was an old man; he looked straight-backed and alert, and sat on his. horse with an air of negligence that showed him a true horseman. For the rest, Bluebell could see that he was somewhat dark in complexion, wearing a short little peaked beard; but she could not see his face distinctly. ' She went downstairs presently. Her sitting room was a pleasant apartment, with -skins of springbok and other wild animals covering the floor. A lamp burned on the table, on which a sumptuous supper was spread. The two men stood by the fireplace talking. As HraebeU entered her father turned. "Well, my girl, I'm back again, you see. Come and kiss me, Bluebell." The girl approached, and the other/f man on the hearthrug stared at the dainty white figure as Adam Leslie gave her & sounding kiss on the cheek. "Yen see I've brought a friend with me, Bluebell. Mr. Moore—my daughter; Bluebell.*" Mr. Moore bowed lo>^, Bluebell did the same. She did not offer her hand, as her frank custom would naturally have led her to do; she hardly knew why. "You wiTl remember your native country every time you address Miss Leslie," snid the millionaire, turning to his "host. Adam, Leslie laughed uproariously. Bluebell felt now quite sure that he had been drinking. He was usually a reserved, even taciturn man, 'stern enough towards his household'; but alcohol unloosed his tongue arid gave him a certain coarse frankness." "Quite right, quite right, Mr. Moore! It was her mother gave her the name— a romantic freak; but it serves its purpose here, and makes us remember the poor old 'mither' country." Miss Elizabeth came in presently, and they all sat down to the abundant supper. During the meal the two men talked, Mr. Moore quietly and gravely, in a somewhat rich, sonorous voice; Mr. Leslie with loud hilarity. Miss Elizabeth and Bluebell said very little, and the latter had a strange, uncomfortahle consciousness during the meal the girl. "Don't be angry with me, will you, auntie? Really I couldn't help-it. I'll never, never do it again. Now dad's going to bring. some one from Maritzburg, is he? Who i s it, auntie? Not anyone very great, I hope —Mr. Rhodes, for instance?" "Don't talk nonsense, childl*" returned Miss Elizabeth Leslie. "No., JIO! it's no one so great as that, only .same very rich man, I bolieve, who has made his money. at Kimberley or somewhere. Bat run away and dress yourself, child. I have a good supper ready, so I hope your father won't keep us waiting. He wished us to have dinner; but why should I? We don't call it dinner when we are alone, and why should we change our customs for strangers?" "Quite light, auntie dear." Bluebell patted her aunt's bony shoulder with a gentle hand. "Besides, lively enough he's some coarse, horrid man! They are always the kind that become millionaires. Ofi, rauirtte,* I hop"? rathe? won't make a great friend of him if he is!" "We shall soon see hfm, dearie, so there's no use thinking beforehand what his ways are," said Miss Elizabeth— she was always called Miss Elizabeth—soothingly. Bluebell ran upstairs t o her own room. It was a pretty", little room, not containing much furniture, but as dainty as feminine fingers could make i t Bluebell did.not spend all her time tying dreamily under, t&e gum-tree. She had just donned hei4 pretty>hite muslin frock, drawn in at the waist by a bine band—it was rather strange that Bluebell shottld smile and blush a little to- herself as she fastened the blue band—when the sound of horses' that the dark, slow-moving eyes of the millionaire turned again and again to her face. She knew not why the look made her shiver suddenly every time she met it all through her warm, Joyous heart and body. The two men talked politics, discussing the likelihood of Kruger's yielding to Britain's demands. "Give in? Not he!" cried Leslie loudly. "Well, the British know what to do next, that's one good thing. We'll sweep the whole race of them from the earth before we've done with them, or I'm mistaken, and it's what they deserve!" "If it comes to war, of course there can be no doubt as to which side will win," said "Miv- Moore, more quietly. "I suppose you have no friends among the Boers or Afrikanders, Mr. Leslie?" "Friends among such people?" cried TOr. Leslie. "Not very likely! I would not admit one of them into my house!" Bluebell spoke almost for the first time. Her -voice was just a little unsteady, as II emotion of some kind was stirring it, "Yon don't always speak like that, father. I am sure we. have never received anything but kindness from any of the Dutch with whom we came in contact And. besides, there's a good deal to be said for their desire to rule their own republic in their own way. How would we like oyer in the old country if foreigners came and settled down among ns—Frenchmen or Germans— and compelled us to conform to their customs? They are only like their brave focefathers la the time of William the Sileat." Her father interrupted her with a loud laugh. hoofs galloping mp the avenue drew "Doctor Rothes has provided you her attention. She- ran to the window,) **th Qui*e * number of arguments. hiding behind the window-curtains. . Presently two. riders emerged from the avenue, and rode up the graveled path to the house. Bluebell could see them-dlitlnctly. The first was her father. Bluebell knew him well enough not to require did take a second look. t Adam Leslie, Etefc; <tf TinJaverstoclc, Elizabeth's Die. "who Doctor Rothes is?" "A young Englishman over at Ladysmith," replied Mr. Leslie carelessly. "We have him here sometimes. A very clever young fellow—quite exceptionally clever; but Just,a little quixotic, you know, as young fellows are apt to be." "Just so; I understand," said Mr. Moore quietly. He glanced at Bluebell without appearing to do so, and saw that the healthy rose in her cheeks had deepened almost imperceptibly in tint, and that her long lashes drooped over and demurely hid her eyes. The millionaire was to stay at New Kelso—thus Mr. Leslie had named his farm in memory of the Scottish town near which he had lived—ali night. Bluebell did not feel nearly as hospitable as usual. Now Kelso was a lonely enough place, being about twelve miles from La.dysmith, the. nearest village, and the womenfolk sometimes saw no outsider for the space of many months; they were, therefore, all the more disposed to make the most of any stray one who did appear. But Blubell did not feel that Gerald Moore was going to be any acquisition She had a vague, groundless dread of him, as if his presence denoted danger. "I don't like him," she said to herself. "And yet why should 1« not? He has done nothing to make me dislike or distrust him." Down-stairs the two men were sitting together at the table, a decanter of Scotch whisky and two glasses between them. They had been speaking In low tones; but how, .as the whisky began to take effect, Leslie raised his. "You are a generous man, Moore!" he cried. "And you are in earnest when you tell me that this is the sole return you ask for your extraordinary generosity?" , "The sole return," Moore replied. He raised his hands to his lips, and kept it there for a moment; then, dropping it to his glass, which had stood full beside him all the time, though Leslie had replenished his several times, he added slowly: "But I must have that return, Mr. Leslje—that and no other. I have set my*mind, upon it."- Bluebell. But politics are quite outside a woman's'sphere, my girl, so I advise you not to take them up. Eh, Mr. Moore, isn't that so?" "I think Miss Leslie would even make a convert of me," said the millionaire, bowing gallantly. Again CHAPTER II. It was a week later. Bluebell had gone to Ladysmith, riding across the dry, open veldt by the wagon-path on her sure-footed little horse Rover. She was a capital horse-woman, and" nothing daunted her when in the saddle. It was a very hot day, and there were signs of coming rain, which made Bluebell hurry.... Her path lay across the dry veldt. Coarse, parched grass and withered shrubs made it look like a desert. The road was a bad and nanrow one. It swelled and undulated like an ocean, now dipping down into a hollow, now rising to the height of a little green-covered kopje. Sometimes she rode close to the river, which seemed almost dry now, so long had been the drought; and always she --kept-m sight of-the great—frowning peaks of Drakensberg, above which eagles and vultures circled in their sky-piercing flight. Bluebell had messages at Ladysmith, but it was not of her messages she was thinking as she neared her destination. She was close to it at last. She saw the little town nestling, as it seemed in the distance, almost at the bottom of Bulwaan, though in truth separated from ft by wide stretches of meadow lands, with the Klip winding Its course through them. Now she passed numerous kopjes of red earth, interspersed with shrubs, between which grew abundance of flowers, white jasmine and climbing convolvulus, and the rich glory of red and yellow bloom clustered thickly on the low, dwarf shrubs which covered the kopjes. Bluebell had acquaintances in Ladysmith. The. Leslies were pretty well known in the cquntry. She was just t u r n i n g - i n t o the town when some one emerging from behind a sudden curve came towards her. Bluebell started a little and stooped over Rover, a richer color than exercise had brought there coming into her cheeki. In a few seconds the new comer was close to her, and lifting his big gray hat from his head, paused by her horse. He was a young man, perhaps nearing thirty, attired in gray khaki, and with a sunburnt face which showed that he was exposed to all weather. For the rest, he had been originally a fair-complexloned man, with good features and &n open, frank expression. His dark gray eyes were clear and steady, but could look wonderingly soft and tender* They did so now, though his expression was one of much anxiety as he held out his hand, into which Bluebell put. hers without a word. (To be continued.) to take a second look'a! hfim yet she 'Bluebell caught his eye, and the look gave her another shiver.

It is curious to note how many of the men who are now at.the war are better known by their nicknames than by the names to which they were born, says the London Mail. All the world over Lord Roberts is well known as "Bobs," chiefly so through Rudyard Kipling; while Lord Kitchener of Khartoum is seldom among his intimates known as anything but "K. of EC." Col. Baden-Powell, who has been popular all his life, was known at Eton as "old Bathing Towel;" Col. Byron, who is A. D. C. to Lord Roberts, is known as "the Strong Man;" Maj. Orr- Ewing, who commands the Warwickshire Yeomanry, and who married a sister of. the Duke of Rosburg, is called "the Weasel;" Capt. Peel is known ,as^ "Monkey;" Capt. Milligan, one of the smartest young men, as the "Canary;" Capt. Seymour Fortescue as "the Commodore;" while Mr. Schomberg Mc-j Donnell, who was Lord Salisbury's sec- I retary, but gave up the position on go- \ ing to the war, is known to every ono as "Pom." Mr. Hugo de Bathe is best known as "Sugar;" Capt. Lawson and Capt. Eagot Chester, who are often to- \ gether, are known as "Bubble and Squeal:;" and Sir Cloud de Crespigny | is known as Creepy." Even the Duke of Marlborough, great man as he is, is called "Sonny" by those who know him well, and the Duke of Westminster is known as "Ben d'Or." Last, but not least, the Duke of Cambridge, who was at one time head of the war office, on account of his connection with the public parks, is known as "George Ranser." —— y -- -- Ar» To* tfetoe; It is the only cure for Swollen, 8martini.

The night must be windless and moonless, tfce latter condition being absolutely indispensable, although, curiously enough, the fish will take the hook on an ordinary starlight night. Time after time have I tried my luck with either a growing or a waning mcon, much to the amusement of the natives, and never once did I get a palu, although other nocturnal feeding fish bit freely enough, notably a monstrous species of sea perch, called Iaheu. The tackle used by the natives is made of cocoanut sennit, four or eight stranded, of great strength, and capable of holding a fifteen- foot shark, should one of these prowlers seize the bait The hook is made of wood—in fact, the same as is used for shark fishing—about one inch and a half in diameter, fourteen inches in the shank, with a natural curve, the barb, or rather that which answers the purpose of a barb, being supplied by a small piece lashed horizontally across the top of tne end of the curve.

Sylvester Gilbert Noble was one of a distinguished family, whoso m«m bers have been conspicuous in civil, military and cdmm«rcial life. He was the son of Elnatban Noble, who was a native of New Haven, Conn where he occupied a position of influence and honor and posessed .at one time considerable wealth His eldest brother was Butler G. Nohle an officer in the U. S. Custom House tor 30 years and Governor of Wiscon in during the civil war and then Harbour master at N. Y. for sevaral years His youngest brother Herman C. Noble was a member of State Legislature in 1848 Sylvester was born on March 12, 1819, in Geneva N Y where his fathers memory is revered as the founder of Hobart College. In 1831 when 12 years old he uame with his father and the rest of the family to Michigan and settled in this township which his father named Unadilla, after a pretty village of that name on the Susquehanna River N. Y. On their settlement here the county presented a very different a p - pearance from what it does at present. There was but one family in the. township Ajaos Williams and no neighbors near. Indians still roamed through the woods, and bears, wolves, and deer abounded and the only roads were Indian trails. Mr, Nobles life has been one of interesting adventure many incidents in it having a tinge of the romatic about them. At the age of 17 he starfed in life for himself without means and without friends except those he made. He went to Clevland Ohio, and engaged for thr*e years in the building of thn Stale Aqueducts. After visiting Chiliicotb, Cincinnati and St. Louis he returned home and settled on the farm. He could not content himself Jbovvever with the routine of farm work, but ere long was. engaged in the structure of the Mich. Central railroad from Dexter to Jackson. The spirit . of adventure stirred strong within him. He left home on March 10, 1849 for California by the overland route being one of the cornpany known as the "Wolverine Rangers' 1 numbering 67 men with 18 wagons 54 yoke of oxen and many cows and horses. ., The march over land was very diferent from the pleasant rapid railroad journey. It was tediousome, occupying 6 months. Mr, Noble -left—tto company and with one companion took ponies, provisions and started on in advance, the first night the Indians stole their ponies leaving them with their heavy packs to pursue the journey on foot; their suffering during that toilsome march wa? something,terri1 le; the desire for water was so great as to cause perfect agony. After a weary march of 500 miles on the 10 of Oct. the eyes of the starving travelers were gladdened with the sight of the SacraraenfvValley. On arriving in the Golden State they went into the mines and Mr. Noble had the good fortune to open one of the richest veins discovered by his party. After en ?aging for a time in mining he went to San Francisco orrfoot and engaged in various sorts of work, then be came home by way of the Isthmus and during the journey spent 3 weeks on the water in a dead calm, Coleridge PO beatifully describes iu the Ancient Matiner. Landing in Central America he camo thence to New Orleans and from there to Mich, and settled on the old homestead. He^hus passed through aseries of stirring adventures which it is given to few 10 experience. In 1841 Mr, Noble was united in Marriage Oct. 14 to Charlotte Eleanor Montague born in Catskill N. Y. Mar. 28. 1820 daughter of Luke and Eunice Montague, to whoiu were boin 2 children who both died in infancy. On his return from Cal. Mr. Noble devoted himself to farm work in this town ship and spent a long lahoi'ous and active life. He was possessed of many excellences of character and took an interest in all that concerned the welfare of the community, fle was held in high esteem by aH who fcnew him -and now God- in bis Providence bas 8ent JiidSPfi81, t 0 c&li<*fcim away i V o f f r W p M n ill I In n-lvlnced * • * Buffalo, N. Y., March —. The Service Building of the Pan- American Exposition, to be held a t Buffalo, N. Y., on the Niagara Frontier, from May 1st to November 1st, 1901, was the first building of the Exposition to be erected and is used by the corps of officials and employees having direct charge of the constructive work of the Exposition. The bulldingT^wnlch is situated on the west side of the grounds, is 95x145. It is in the form of a hollow square, having two stories on Its exterior facades and three stories on the court side. The entrance, which is in the form of a driveway, faces the north and communicates directly with the Inner court. Part way down this entrance, and(from each side, extend the main corridors. That on the right leads to offices and apartments to be used for police headquarters and hospital service, including the rooms lor the use of the Commandant of Polico Station, the Chief of the Fire Department, medical waiting room, drug supplies, offices for a surgeon and his assistants and an operating room. The hospital has a porte cochere entrance for ambulance and emergency purposes. The other portions of the first floor are taken up by a large room for the officers and clerks who have charge of the admissions and collections, and the auditing of accounts; these rooms [being fitted with flre-prpof vaults. The working office of the Director of Wqrks, with his private office and •tenographer's room, offices for the landscape Architect, the Superintendent of Building Construction, Purchasing Agent, Chief Engineer, Mechanical and Electrical Engineer, and accommodations for the officers having charge of Transportation and Installation, Exhibits and Concessions, are arranged to carry on the business efithese Departments. On the second floor Is the largo idraughtfng room; used by the force of architectural draughtsmen. This Department has separate offices and draughting rooms, with a large vault for valuable drawings. On this floor are the sleeping apartments of the Director of Works and the Chiefs of tho various Bureaus, comprising the Department of Works. Here also are numerous apartments for such of the employees as the nature of their duties requires to Be continuously at the Exposition grounds. A kitchen and dining room, apartments for the janitor ^ and-hospital nurses, and several guest chambers are provided on this floor. The top floor of the building has additional apartments, a large blueprinting room for the use of the Architects and Engineers Departments,.and the operating rooms for the " Official Photographer of the Exposition. The building has a cellar. Frame construction has been used throughout. The studs are covered on the inside with composition board and sheathed on the outside with hemlock planks, which are covered with cement plaster, tne final finish having the appearance of stucco. ' The ornamental work. Including the flag standards, flnials, festoons, etc., are of staff. The roof Is covered with Spanish tile of iron. The building is in its architecture a free adaptation of the Spanish Renaissance, such as .is shown In old Californian and Mexican missions and churches. This stylo was followed as closely as the requirements and exigencies of arrangement for light and space necessary in a first class working office allowed. / • The building was erected ready for occupancy in 32 working days. age of 91 jeeftYafrfi 6 weeks.

Rubbing silver or plated egg-spoons with a little liquid ammonia and salt will remove the discolouration caused ' by the sulpher in the egg. When hanging a mirror, see that it is not so placed that the ray of the sun will fall directly on it, for by so doing the glass will be less likely to become clouded. A good and harmless toilet powder is made by mixing six ounces of the best starch reduced to a fine powder, and two drachms of powdered orris root. A good composition for rendering boots waterproof is made by melting together mutton tallow and beeswax In a proportion of one of the former to two of the latter. It should he applied at night, and wiped off the next morning with a piece of flannel. To render pure water inocuous it must be boiled for forty-five minuteB. A shorter period will destroy alkalies an<T salts, but wtfl not annihilate all bacteria. The tastelessness of boiled water may be aerated by pouring in half a dozen times from one vessel to another. The most nauseous physic may be given to children without trouble by letting them such a pepper-mint lozenge, a piece of alum, or a bit of orange peel. Many people make the mistake of giving a sweet afterward to take away the disagreeable taste; it is far better to- destroy it -in the -first instance. Muslin dresses very often become creased before they are. really dirty enough to require washing. In this case they should be treated as follows: Spread the dress^out on a wooden table or ironingboard, and damp* It thoroughly all over with starch applied with a piece of sponge. This should be perfectly clean. Then iron it carefully, taking care the iron is not too hot, and when finished, hang it before the fire to dry. It should not on any account be folded The best way is to damp one part of the dress with the starch, iron it, and then go on to another piece. RULES FOR HOSPITALITY Do not intrude into your hostess' affairs. .,Go direct when the call or visit is ended. Do not make a hobby of personal infirmities. Do not overdo the matter of entertainment. Do not forget bathiag-feettities^f©* the guest. "Make yourself at home," but not too much so. , In ministering to the guest do' not forget the family. Do not make unnecessary work for others, even servants. Do not gossip; there are better things in life to think about. • Let no member of the family intrude in the guest chamber. Conform to the custom of the house, especially as to meals. Be courteous, but not to the extent of surrendering principles. When several guests are present, give a share of attention to all. Introduce games or diversions, but only such as are agreeable. Better simple food with pleasure than luxuries with annoyance and i "worry. Have a comfortable room In readiness, adapted to the needs and tastes of t he -guest; ~ " A guest need not accept every proposed entertainment; he should be considerate of himself and host. Learn the likes and dislikes of those who are entertained, but not through the medium of an imperative catechism.— Ex. — A FREE PATTERN MSCALLSXa MAGAZINE t^SIJfTBw^Stnaml^^Tncy work, hounhold hints "mcisSsoes", fefftfretctt «nnodt laittttalein eehdt lbdyr etah. auTah aotf euss*s t«Jn ityllS r"ncaW. cH""k ve«ff encot enqouta al tftoarin setdy lIe and perfect ft* ether patteroi.

I received a letter from Canada saying, "Is the elder son of the parable so unsympathetic and so cold that he is not worthy.of recognition?" The fact is thalL-'we' a s S did not appreciate the home blessings which he had •• all those years. He was disobedient, for. when the father told htm to come in he staid out He was a liar,for he said that the recreant son had devoured his father's living, when the father, so far from being reduced to penary, had a homestead left, had instruments of music, had jewels, had a mansion, and instead of being a pauper, was »< prince. This senior brother, with eo many faults of his own, was merciless in hie criticism of the younger brother. The only perfect people that r have ever known were utterly obnoxious. I was never so badly cheated in my life as by a perfect man. He got so far up in his devotions that he was clear up abpve. all the rules of common honesty. These men that go about prowling among prayer meetings and in places of business, telling how good they are The war is now costing England $750 per minute. Diamond and gold mines come hi£h. Tho trouble with most men is that they have to die before they are fully e\4&r son of the parable. I could not ministers pursue the younger son., Yqu — - can hear the napping of his rags InT-i-look out for themj keep your hand m a n y * sermonic freeze and t h a ' o h your pocketbook! I have noticed cranching of the pods for which he- that just in proportion as a man gets was an unsuccessful contestant. I confess that it has been difficult for ine to train the camera obscura upon the appreciated. The Louisiana election was too onesided to make an inspection of the returns interesting. It is such an easy matter for the average woman to cry that there is no danger of her having water on the brain. Love is the wond,rous angel of life that rolls away all the stones of sorrow and suffering from the pathway of duty. Of things that are in our power are our opinions, impulses, pursuits, avoidances, and, in brief, all that is of our own doing. get a negative of the photograph. There was not enough light in the gallery, or the chemicals were too poor, or the sitter mov°<l in the picture. But now I think I have him, not a side face or a three-quarters or the mere, bust, but a full length portrait as he appears to me. The father in the parable of the prodigal had nothing to brag of • in his two sons. The one was a rake •and the other a churl. I find nothing admirable in the dissoluteness of the one, and I find nothing attractive In the acrid sobriety of the otber. The one goes down over the larboard side, and the other goes down over the starboard side, but they both go down. From all the windows of the old homestead bursts th2 minstrelsy. The floor quakes with the feet of "the rusgood he'gets humble. The deep Mississippi does not make so much noise as the brawling mountain, rivulet. There has been many a store that had more goods in the show window than inside on the shelves. -There- is-no wnsatd to be a a Irish" craze in England, but it probably goes no deeper than the buttonhole in which the shamrock is worn. The R « l N B l ? h t e o n » Mark This self-righteous*man of the test stood at tho corner of the house hugging himself in admiration. We hear a great deal in our day about the higher life. Now, there are two kinds\jf higher life men. The one is admirable, and tho other is most repulsive. The qne kind of higher life man. Is very lenient in his criticism of others, does not bore prayer meetings to death with long harangues, does not talk a great deal about himself, but much about Christ and heaven, gets kindlier and more gentle and more useful until one day his soul spreads a-wing, and he flies away to eternal rest, and everybody mourns whose dance.-Is alwa^-JdgorcuiaJ.-jl^s--ciep3rtUTe; T n c other --Wgher-Hfe A St. Louis undertaker advertises that he can furnish everything requisite for a first-class funeral. He is evidently a doctor as well as an undertaker. A pair that is without precedent in the memory of this generation of legislators was made on the vote for the Porto Rican bill in the senate. It is a venerable joke that a constituent once wrote to his member of congress that he was grieved to observe by the Record that he had been pairing with some one- of the opposite party. "If , y«» must pair," wnto^he-eonstftuerit,j and I suppose you cannot always be present to vote, can't you do it with some good man in our own party?" That kind of pair is cast in the shade by the arrangement whi<?h/ Senator Hoar of Massachusetts and Senator McEnery of Louisiana made. One is a Republican, the other is a gold Democrat. Each left his party on this issue. Republicans generally voted for and Democrats against the bill. Hoar was paired against the bill with Mc- Enery, who would, otherwise, have voted for the bill. Each was paired against his party. The membership of one of the colored churches of Pittsburg is composed chiefly of the Joneses. Until recently they have held all the offices, because when it came to a vote the Joneses all stuck together. The temporal affairs of the church are tinder control of a board of ei^ht trustees, *H-of^wbem were-Joneses. At the annual congregational meeting for the election of trustees the Jones' slate threatened to. cause a division la the church. The minority wanted a representation on the board. When the time for voting came one indignant member arose and said: "Fo's long's Ah can 'membah we'se —2laJi_nllffln, but Joneses in office en Ah link hits time fo* a change. Ah move dat we drop some ob de Joneses en •lect a layman." In the interest of peace one of the Joneses withdrew. A man of the name of Smith was fleeted and the minority was mollified. and resounding. The neighbors have heard of the return of the younger son from his wanderings, and they have gathered together. The house is full of congratulators. I suppose the, tables are loaded with luxuries, not only the one kind of meat mentioned, but its concomitants. "Clap!" go the cymbals, "thrum!" go the harps, "click!" go the chalices, up and down go the feet inside, while outside is a most sorry spectacle. Th« Senior 8<»n*K Anger. The senior son stands at the corner of the house, a frigid phlegmatic. He has just come in "from the fields in very substantial apparel. Seeing some wild exhilarations around the old mansion,he asks of a servant Vfe*3' Tn^By"^wTffili"glo^^kIn^r^l^oh_TiiIs_ shoulder what all the fuss is about. One would have thought that, on hearing that his younger brother had got back, he would have gone into the house and rejoiced, and. if he were not conscientiously opposed to dancing, that he would have joined the Oriental schottlsh. No.ethere he stands. His brow lowers; his face darkens; his lip curls with contempt. He stamps the ground with Indignation; he sees nothing at all to attract. The odors of the feast, coming out on the air, do not sharpen his appetite. The lively music does not put any spring into hfs step. He is in a terrible pout. He criticiseb the expense, the Injustice and the morals of the entertainment. The father rushes out bareheaded and coaxes him to come in. He will not go in. He scolds the father. He goes into a pasquinade against the younger brother, and he makes the most uncomely scene. He says, "Father, you I man goes around with a Bible conspicuously under his arm, goes from church to church, a sort of general evangelist, is a nuisance ito his own pastor when he is at home and a nuisance to other pastors when he is away from home, runs up to some man who is counting out a roll o*f bank bills or running up a difficult line of figures and asks him how his soul~4s,-makes religion a dose of ipec acuanha. Standing in a religious meeting making an address, he has a patronizing way, as though ordinary . Christians were clear_away down below him, so he had to talk at the top of his voice in order to make him hear; but at the same time encouraging them to hope on that by climbing many years they may after awhile" come up withTh sight of the place where-he now stands. I tell you plainly that a roaring, roistering, bouncing sinner is not-so repulsive to me as that higher life malformation. The former may repent; the latter-1 not droppod oo low in wassail, the pro- Students of municipal government had expected much of the proposed joint investigation of the municipal and private electric light industries •which was to be undertaken by the League of American Municipalities and the National Electric Light association. The league is, however, backward in doing its share of the work and the private Interests intimate it 18 because the advocates of the municipal ownership are afraid of the result. The facta, as stated by the Western Electrician, are that according to the agreement made at Syracuse last September each was.to pay one-half of the cost of the investigation. The lea, -e stipulated that its acceptance of V>e offer should be conditional upon it raising ita half of the necessary ft ''3 by special donation. The electn 'ight association has $2,600 ready, be ? its share of the money, but the W< >rn Electrician says the league put a premium on vagabondism, staid at home and worked on the farm. You never made a party for me; you didn't so much as kill a kid. That wouldn't have cost half as much as a calf; but this scapegrace went off in fine clothes, and he comes back not fit to be seen, and what a time you make over him! He breaks your heart and you pay him for it. That calf, to which we have been giving extra feed during all these weeks, wouldn't be so fat and sleek if I had known to what use you were going to put It. That vagabond deserves to be cowhided instead of banqueted. Veal is too good for him." That evening, while the younger son sat telling his father about bis adventures and asking about what had occurred on the place since, his departure, the senior brother goes to bed disgusted and slams the door after him. That senior brother still lives. Tou can sec him any Sunday, any day of the week. At a meeting of ministers in Germany some one asked the question, "Who is that elder son?" and Krummacher answered, "I know him; I saw him yesterday." And when they insisted upon knowing whom he meant he said, "Myself! when I saw the account of tne conversion of a most obnoxious man I was irritated." First, the senior brother of the text stands for the self-congratulatory .selfsatisfied, self-worshipful man. With the same breath in which he vituperates against his younger brother he utters a panegyric for himself. The self •righteous man of the taxt, like every other self-righteous. nta#, was full never getB over his Pharisaism. The younger brother of the parable came back, but the senior brother stands outeide entirely oblivious of his own delinquencies and deficlts.pronouncing his own eulogium. Oh, how much easier it is to blame others than to blame ourselves! Adam blamed Eve, Eve blamed the serpent, the senior brother blamed the younger brother, and none of them blamed themselves. Again, the senior brother of my text stands for all those who are faithless about the reformation of the dissipated and the dissolute. In the very tones of his voice you can hear the fact that he has no faith that the reformation of the younger son is genuine. His entire manner seem&_to_say_: "That !>oy has come back for more money. He got a third of the property; now he has come back for another third. He will never be contented to stay on the farm. He will fall away. I would go in too and rejoice with the others if I thought this thing were genuine; but it is a sham. That boy is a confirmed inebriate and debauchee." Alas, my friends, for the incredulity in the church of Christ in regard to the reclamation of the recreant! You say a man has been a strong drinker. I say, "Yes, but he has reformed." "Oh," you say, with a lugubrious face, "I hope you are not mistaken; I hope you are not mistaken." You say: "Don't rejoice too much over his conversion, for soon he will be unconverted^ fear. Don't make too big a party for that returned prodigal or strike the timbrel too loud; and, if you kill a calf, kill the offe~thaTTs" on" the commons and not the one that has been luxuriating in the paddock." That is the reason why more prodigals do not come home to their father's house. It Is the rank Infidelity of the church of God on this subject. There is not a house on the streets of heave* that has not in it a prodigal ~ that returned and staid home. There could be unrolled before you a scroll of a hundred thousand names—the names of prodigals who came back forever reformed. Who was John Bunyan? A returned prodigal. Who was Richard Baxter? A returned prodigal. Who was George Whltefield, the thunderer? A returned prodigal. And I could go oat in all the aisles of this church today and tad tray for many years, have been faithful, and their eternal salvation is as sure as though they had been ten years in heaven. And yet tome of you have not enough faith l a their return. Greeting,th« Pro<H**L You do not know how to shake bands with a prodigal. You do not know how to pray for him. You do not know how to greet him. He wants to sail into the warm gulf stream of Christian sympathy. You are the ice« berg against which he strikes and shivers. You say he has been a prodigal. I know it, but you are the sour, unresponsive, censorious, saturnine, cranky elder brother, and if you are going to heaven one would think some people would be tempted to go to perdition to get away from you. The hunters say that if a deer be shot the other deer shove him out of their company, and the general rule is—away with a man that has been wounded with sin. Now, I say, the more bones a man has broken the raore^need ho has of an hospital, and the more a man has been bruised and cut with sin the more need he has to be carried into human and divine sympathy. But lor such men there is not much room come back after wandering. Plenty of room for elegant sinners, for sinners in velvet and satin and lace, for sinners high salaried, for • kidgloved and patent-leathered sinners, for sinners fixed up by hairdresser, pomatumed and lavendered and cologned and frizzled and crimped and "banged" sinners—plenty of room! Such we meet elegantly at the door of our churches and we invite them into the best seats with Chesterfleldian gallantries; we usher them into the house of God and put soft ottomans under their feet and put a gilt edged prayer book in their hands and pass the contribution box before them with an air cf apology, while thc?y, the generous souls,—tak© out—the exquisite porte- j monnaie and open it,and with diamond I finger push down beyond the $10 gold f pieces and delicately pick out as an I expression of gratitude their offering | td the Lord—of one cent! For such j sinners plenty of roam.plenty of room, i But for the man who has been drink- j ing until his coat is threadbare, and his face Is erysipelased. and his wife's wedding dress is in the pawnbroker's shop, and his children, instead of being in school, arc out begging broken bread at the basement doors—of the city—the man, body, mind and soul on fire with the flames that have leaped from the scathing, scorching, blasting, blistering, consuming cup which the drunkard takes, trembling and agonized and affrighted, and presses to his parched lips, ami—his cracked tongue and his shrieking yet Immoral spiritno room. Oh, if this younger son of the parable had not gone so far off, if he had OR. HARTMAH'S iPVICE Is Sotight by Female Suffer* — ers from Oeera to Ocean.

Be not so hard in your criticism of the fallen lest thou thyself also be tempted. Do you know who that man was who Sabbath before last staggered up and down the aisle in a church, disturbing the service until the service had to stop until he was taken from the room? He was a minister of the gospel of Jesus Christ in a sister denomination! That man had preached the gospel, that man had broken the bread of the holy communion for the people. From what a height to what a depihL Ohr-I- was glad-there was no smiling in the room when that man was taken out, his poor wife following him, with his hat in her hand and his coat on her arm! It was as solemn to me as two funerals—the funeral of the body and the funeral of the soul. Beware, lest tlwu also be tempted! An invalid went to South America for his health and one day sat sunning himself on the beach when he saw something crawling up the beach, wriggling toward him, and he was affrighted. He thought it was a wild beast or a reptile, and he took his pistol from his pocket. Then he saw it was not a wild beast. It was a man, an immortal man, a man made in God's own image, and the poor wretch crawled up to the feet of the invalid and asked for strong drink, and the invalid took his wine flask from his pocket and gave the poor wretch something to drink, and then under the stimulus he rose up and gave his history, lie had been a merchant in Glasgow, Scotland. He had gone down under the power of strong drink until he was so reduced Sn poverty that he was living in a boat just off the beach. "Why," said the Invalid, "I knew a merchant in Glasgow once, a merchant of such and such a name." And the poor wretch straightened himself and said, "1 am that man."

Half a dozen distinct tornadoes occurred in central Kansas on the afternoon of the 6th, following a day of ex- P ceedingly high temperature. Two people are known to have been killed and three injured. Wires were blown down in the different districts, making it impossible to accurately sum up the damage done. The tornado formed a few miles south of Ellinwood and passed over the west portion of the city. At the Cheyenne bottoms, six miles north, it divided in- siardrffeTcrit directions and destroyed a great amount of property. WAR N O T E S , In compnrfeon with* the casualties fiuiiered by the-lintisb,' tfoops in &outh Africa those sustained b., the American forces in the Philippines seem very small A statement just compiled' by the war department shows that from July 1, 1898, when American troops reached Manilla, until April 27, 1900, these deaths have occurred: Killed and died of wounds, 43 officers, 553 men; died of disease, 26 officers, 1,035 men; total, 69 officers, 2,187 men; grand tota\, 2,256. The war department has just issued a complete table of casualties in the 5th army corps in the operations against Santiago, from June 22 to July 17, 1898. The losses are: Killed, 21 officers, 222 enlisted men;' wounded, 101 officers, 1,344 enlisted men; total, 1,688. The 7th regular infantry lost the greatest number of men, i t s killed and wounded numbering 132. Gen. Funston has discovered a rebel warehouse near Cabanutan, province of New Egjja, containing all the archives of t h e Malolos government, Aguinaldo's correspondence up to the time of his, flight much valuable historical matter. The belief i s growing that Aguinaldo was killed by the Igorottes. There is no proof that he has been alive since Maj. Peyton C. March of the 33d srjegiment abandoned the chase after the Filipino leader in the Benquet mountains. An insurgent officer who recently surrendered to Gen. Young says that t h e insurgent general, Tinio, believes Auginaldo dead. Tinio held regular communication -with Aguinaldo until Dec. 28, since when he has heard nothing from him and Tinio thinks Aguinaldo would find means to communicate with him if alive. The insurgent archives discovered by Gen. Funston include papers implicating prominent foreign firms at Manila in unlawful dealings. I t is reported that evidence has been obtained that some of them^"furnished munitions of war to the rebels and it i s also said that the American authorities are in possession from this source of a detailed plan for attacking the American forces, written by Aguinaldo, in the Tagalog language, January D, 1809, and traiislated into Spanish by Buencamino. No correspondence from the so-called antiimperialist party of the United States was found.

CONGRESSIONAL N O T E S . ) • • President Mclyinley is said to have forced an agreement between the house and senate conferees on t h e amendment to the Puerto Rican bill on April 30. Senator Foraker had previously refused point blank to accept the Cooper amendments, which were designed to prevent the exploitation of the island by mortgage syndicates and franchise grabbers. The conference was easily the most earnest and animated meeting which the house and senate conferees had held. Puerto Rico will have to get along for some months to come with her present military rulers, but the island is reasonably safe from the schemes of exploitation that were formed while the Foraker civil government bill was being framed. The bill became a^law on the 1st. The «^nai»^spi>in4ttee on postoffices and pofii roads on -the 3d completed the postoffice appropriation bill. The net increase in the bill is about 91,000,000, which include* the restoration of the provision for the- pneumatic tube service first reported by the house, committee. I t provides 8225,000 for continuing thejwesent contracts and adds 3500,000 for extension of the service t o other cities in addition to those where it has not been in use. The senate in executive session on the 4th ratified a treaty negotiated with all the maritime nations of t h e world, QXtahdi&g. the- Geneva, coajer^ •ence regulations to naval warfare.

The statement was made on the 30th by the war department that the total collections at the customs port of Havana, 27 working days of March, 1900. three were Sl,006,269, an increase over the corresponding month of the previous year of 8109,2½. There landed at Havana during March, from points outside of Cuba, 3,899 passengers. Of this number 1,603 came-from the United-States. The total number of vessels that entered the port during March was 304. Brandfort was captured on the 3d by a combined movement of Col. Tucker's and Gen. Pole-CarewY, divisions on the east and center and Gen. Hutton's mounted fnfantry on t h e west. The British surprised the Boers, Who retreated hastily. Four thousand of the enemy were stationed there in order to oppose the British advance. Col. Tucker's artillery had a sharp duel with the enemy's guns and put t w o of them out of action. Advices from the island of Samar say that a detatchment of t h e 43d volunteers was besieged by the insurgents at Catubig for five days recently. The Americans lost 19 killed and 2 wounded during the siege. Maj. Gilmorc, upon learning of the critical situation of the detachment, sent a force which quickly scattered the insurgents and relieved the besieged force.

Bowel trouble causes more aches and pains than all other diseases together, and when yoti get a good dose of bilious bile coursing through the blood life's a heU on earth. Millions of people are doctoring for chronic ailments that started with bad bowels, and they will never get better till the bowels are right. You know how it is—you neglect—get irregular—first suffer with a slight headache—bad taste in the mouth mornings, and general "all gone" feeling during the day—keep on goings from bad to worse until! the suffering becomes awful, life loses its charms, and there is many a one that has been driven to suicidal relief. Educate your bowels with CASCARETS. Don't neglect the slightest irregularity. See that you have one natural, easy movement each day.
