He says he saw European women hauled into the streets by shrieking Tioxers, who stripped them and hacked them to pieces. Their dissevered limbs were tossed to the crowd and carried off, with howls of triumph. Some were already dead, having been shot by foreign civilians. He says he saw Chinese soldiers carrying the bodies of white children aloft on their spears, while their companions shot at the bodies He gives other details too horrible to be particularized. It seems that the Boxers leaders had organized a plan including the offering of rewards and rich loot for the annihilation of Europeans throughout China asd that Prince Tuan's generalshave been emphasizing the opportunity the soldiers have of seizing the bodiesof whito women.

It. was early October, •and although it had been a late season, <yet there was already a touch of cold- j Jness in the air, notwithstanding the 'brilliant sunshine. The sea was as blue i «8 the sky, tossing and little die- Curbed by the wind, yet only enough to give it color and motion. The little town looked white and'clean, smiling in the autumn sunshine. A thoroughly conventional English scene, just as the girl herself was a thoroughly conventional English girl. Her dark blue eyes were brown and of a> soft texture; her face a perfect oval, with a little square chin, into which ?there had been pressed, as by some loving finger, the prettiest dimple -in the 1^-,^-,.1,,,,,,.. world! A tall, slight figure, that g*veHf!^°*?h f u U y . promose of a fuller, ampler womanhood; a clear white Bklti, flushed rosy; and lashes and eyebrow* many shades darker than her hair completed a whole that was very captivating. She was dressedT too, conventionally, although the blue serge £rees and Jacket fitted her as only a tailor-made gown can fit. A little sailor ftat was perched upon her head in Just'the:most effective manner possible. But at this minute 'the dark blue eyes looked troubled, the pretty hands were clasped round "her knees, and she was looking seawards arid away from the man by hersdoe. He, too, looked troubled, "it hart cost Alan Mackenzie a good deal t6 record the events of hi3 life, and to speak of the young wife he had lost faux years ago. He had wanted the past to be past; and although - Veronica's memory was dear and sweet to him, and the girl herself had been loving and tender, :yet it seemed to him hard to bring up the dead past. There was such ;a chasm between that life and this, such a difference between the dark-eyed, half-Spanish girl he had wooed under the brilliant South American skies and this girl whom he was wooing beside the tumbling English sea, that rt often seemed to Alan Mackenzie that he must be an entirely different person. He leaned forward and looked at her. She had her face turned towards the sea, so that he could Just see the delicate profile outlined against the blue sky, aould juGt fsee the pink ear nestling against the colls of her hair. It was not for her beauty alone that he loved Joyce Grenville. He felt that she was his equal in most, bis superior in some, things. Beaand she together, he thought, could live-the perfectYnar- Tlett—ttfe ^ nri iyrrw -tiwrfr—wffB~~fTT^ shadow of poor Veronica to come and throw a gloom over their wooing. Veronica, whom he had never loved like this girl; Veronica, Ecr whom.he had had the tendeneat protective pity, but that was a i l And now he looked at JJoyce, and felt to the full that iff he lost her he lost everything IShat .made life worth ^ving; that life without Joyce would be incomplete, ;and ;that all his success in life—and he was by no means disposed :to undervalue that—would mean .nothing to him without Joyce. She was so ^desirable, was Joyce, with her highrbred, British air, and with all the qualities.that he knew her to possess, .an;d with that fact staring him full iv- the .face that he loved her, and her Sllone. His voice trembled as he said: "Do you mind so much, Joyce, :that [it-will be an insuperable bar? Do you mean that you cannot say 'Yes' to me?" She turned round and faced him, and he could flee the trouble ±h '.her ceyes r' „ and the twitching of her lips. "No," > ^ she said, in a low voice, "J don't mean that; I cannot give you up„ Alan. You have made me love you; I cannot change my love in a day. Hut it ihas cast a shadow over me. I cannot rejoice over my love for you as I did now I know this: That life cannot give the unalloyed happines that 1 thought possible half an hour ago." "Because you are not the first, Joyce?

"She,"he said, in a low voice^'ahe loved me more than her life." Joyce, gave a little exclamation, It was toot altogether pafn, but as if she had said that she; had known it well. Of course she had loved him! What woman would not have loved Alan Mackenzie? He said nothing, but she could see his lips quivering. That troubled her. She felt that be would say no more, hut that the first words must come from her. He had stated his case; he ] had pleaded with her. It was for her to say MYes" or "No." Only ho had told her .the whole^ truth. Some men would have said less; but then she loved him for that very truthfulness, which would hide nothing from her. "I wish you had not told me," she said. For a moment she thought that this really was so, and that she would rather not have knpwn; it was only momentary, however. "Would you rather not h a W known?" he said, and looked at her "Joyce, I hate having to give you this pain; but I have always thought that the very essence of married happiness lay in, the fact that husband and wife had no secrets.from each other." "Did you tell her "everything?" asked Joyce, woman-like. "No, dearest God forbid that I should wish to deprecate the girl who loved me so well; but she was not your equal. She was simply a pure, sweet, loving woman; but .she would not ha/ve understood. She had pretty ways of making a house homelike and charming; but she had but very little education. I eould not have told her everything. Joyce, you know all about our brief married life .now. I don't [ believe that you—I don't believe that you would be jealous of the dead woman.' Now tell me .straight out if you will make me happy. I don't think you know or can guess what you are to me. How my whole life and 3011I are bound up in you, how empty my life would be without you. I think it' you understood that you would forget all about the story I have told you, and give yourself to me, to hold and to keep as the dearest thing in the world." The tears were standing in his eyes, he was so much in earnest. It seemed to him as if the making ;or the marring of his life was in this slender girl's hands; and she was moved, too. "Of course I mind, dearest," she said. "If I did not miad so .much I should not lo-v^e you so much. Just think how would you like it if some other man had had my .first kiss, my first words of love!" "I should not like it .at all; I should hate it, Joyce," 2u» said, frankly. "I-! knewL^Qu would.

There was noshing but talk of preparations for tha wedding and settlements, nothing but congratulation* and envyings of his luck, nothing in all this to remind fate of the simple preparation!. tor the civil marriage that had bean the only one possible in Rio. Joyce had begged for a six months' engagement, Alan had insisted on threerand as there wan really nothing to wait for he had his way. He had known Joyce for more than three years, and had met her at the house of a mutual friend, had been attracted to her from the first; so that it seemed as if they had actually been engaged much longer than was the case. He was still in the firm of Dempster; only now he was a partner instead of an employe. He had been called to the bar, but did not practice regularly, seeing that he did not have much time. The three months passed 'very quickly; there was so much to do, so much to settle. It was a very happy time, but one evening Alan gat rather a nasty shock. He had been seeing Joyce, and they had spent the usual happy time together. He was immersed in thoughU and dreams of her, and was not looking very much where he was going. Turning a corner sharply he ran up against a man who seemed a little unsteady in his gait. "I beg your pardon!" Alan said. The man uttered an imprecation. At the first sound of his voice Alan thought that it was familiar to him. He gave a start. "Hutchinson!" he cried. The man looked up. A gleam of recognition lit up his drink-sodden eye3, and with the recognition there came, too, a gleam of hatred. "It's you!" he cried, and he swore again. "Yes," said Alan, "and I am sorry to see you like this. Can I do anything for you, Hutchinson?" "Do anything for me? You? I'll trip you yet!" cried the ,.man, his hatred flashing like a knife. "Do you think I have, forgotten how you got me turned out, how you ruined me? No! And I will be even with you yet if I hang for it! And there's that girl of mine, too! I always thought that you had a hand in her disappearance! I will be even with you yet, my fine young man!" "Well," said Alan, coolly, "I would have helped you if you would have let me; not that I regard your threats. It was your own dishonesty and nothing else that was your ruin. And as for the girl, you are right there. I married her, and she was drowned; but she v*ras no daughter of yours, and you kuew it." Hutchinson's surprise got the better of his caution. "I brought her up," he said, "even if she was not my own. In a way she was mine. And so you married her, did you? And now you say she is dead." "She is dead, poor soui!" said Alan. "Died in tlre-Tmn'k uf ik* 'Valparaiso'" T¥1 four years ago; and I'm to be married again. I wish you would let me help you, Hutchinson!" An evil sneer crossed Hutchinson's face. "Married again, are you? Soon? Well, I will wish you joy, you and your bride. You may have an unexpected guest at yoar wedding, although I am not quite sure. We will see what way things will go. Goodby, my fine gentleman!** He left Alan with a curious sense that something untoward had happened, although the young man could not say what it had been. (To be Continued.) you to marry me a year ago if I had not had this past behind me. I have loved" you well enough .all the time. It is only now that I .have been presumptuous enough to think that you love me a little that J have spoken; and if you do truly Jove me, Joyce, you will only be sorry for all that 1 have suffered in the past." Joyce was not an ungenerous girl, and though there was a certain sting in the fact that Alan .had suffered through another woman, yet she could feel it in her heart to ,pity the girl .who had only been Alan's wife for four months, and who had died in so tragic a manner. She rose. "Shall we go in to the others, Alan?" she said/ softly. But he caught her haavd. "Not before I have had my answer, Joyce. Oh, no! not before I have .had my answer! Don't be cruel, darling! Put me out of pain!" ~ "Dearest,1' she said. 'Jyou know your answer. You know that I love you, and that I would never deny my love. This unhappy story ..of yours ji has been a surprise to me* and a little shock; but it does not really nuke any difference, does it, when two people love each other?" "Joyce," he cried—there was - the purest joy in his tone—"Joyce, you have made me so happy that J have no words to express my happiness. And you will not think of this again?

It took Hanora qurte a time to find out the truth about Tobias. Not that Tobias could ordinarily be considered a mysterious individual Indeed,. he was precisely the reverse. From the cool dawn hour In which he arose to go forth and drive the team for Twist & Taffeta, of which firm he was trusted collector, until his return at 6:30 to the modest fiat where his sister—and supper—awaited him, bis life was a clean and commonplace, page, spread' wide for every casual or interested glance. His nights, if less exposed to the arc lights of public scrutiny, might as well have been so. For, after eating heartily of the food Hanora had prepared and referring to the same in admiring terms, he was wont to remove his shoes as unnecessary impedimenta, place his feet in their welldarned hose upon the chair "beyant." light his pipe, drink the solitary bottle of beer which Hanora permitted him, and read the mighty accumulation of both morning and evening papers until the autocratic spinster who ruled his abode suggested "a decade," and turned the lamp low by way of a gentle but quite sufficient hint. Tobias was 40—plus five.. He had a brickdust skin, pale brows, a pugnacious nose, and a smile of such sudden, suffusing, apologetic radiance it explained his love for his fellowmen in general and for Hanora in particular. Indeed, his was the only love that had ever come Hanora's way. She had never been guilty of that form of highway robbery known as coquetry. Not that she was unsophisticated. She knew that a woman quick of perception and adroit of finger may appropriate the purse of one who walks her way and suffer incarceration. And she knew also that one who possesses herself of an unappropriated masculine Fine M U M an B o w There is no shadow of a possible shadow of doubt that the day of the motor car and automobile fiend is at an end in Paris and the same may be said of the scorching cyclist The roar, the hissing sound and the cloud of dust are no mora. Thoir desperate recklessness has led the police to cut down to eight kilometers, which 4s only n shade over fire miles an hour, their authorised speed, and heart not only goes free in the sight of the law, but glories if she will in her guile and in the magnitude of her deed. Whether the bonds of inopportunity had shackled Hanora Ryan or whether she had preferred maiden triumph to the exultation of matronhood deponent sayeth not. Anyhow, to get back to the truth about Tobias. On one memorable midsummer eve he devoured lemon pie without protest. Hanora knew he loathed lemon pie. On the following morning he meekly ate the French -toast ehe set before him, instead of his regulation potato and rasher. This was her second test For Tobias had frankly declared only two weeks ago that he would eat no more French, or Flemish, or—no, begorrah— Boer toast, that was made of stale bread dipped in egg and fried! So there! She began to feel suspicious. He was a good brother, but alarmingly docile when presented with viands for which he possessed an aversion. She was like the parrot which its owner declared "said little but done a devil of a heap of .thlnkln'!" She thought a good deal In those days. When Tobias suggested bringing a friend home with him to dinner she thought more than ever, albeit she possibly said less. "To be bringin' j i man^ here^ for a male!" quoth^sheT "What" kind of a man might he be now, Tobias?" "Sthraight as they make 'em!" promptly responded Tobias. "He drives the 'rush' bus. He's a good wan. He'd relish one of your raspberry rolls —that he would, Hanora?" Whereat Hanora blushed In,, a wintry sunset sort of way and said he might bring his friend. He did bring his friend. And—to tell the truth—Hanora looked exceedingly well. She had given her old . black xkirt a "dip," whatever that mysterious phraseology may mean. And she wore with this a shirt waist of softest lawn, whieh she had bought at quite an absurd figure because It was one of the smaller alsea. This she had duly and delicately laundered.

"Clear j here!" he declared with delicious mendacity. After supper they went into the parlor. Hanora played on the o r g a n - yes, and sang, too, in a Sweet thin littie voice. She sang "The Meeting of the Waters" and "The Kerry Dancing" and the "Wearing of the Green." No rag-time for Hanora. "She's a jewel!" commented DennIK Maguire, addressing Tobias Ryan, when they parted on the sidewalk. "Ain't—ain't"—timidly, "there anywan a-coortin'!" "Niver a wan!" returned Tobias. He felt so guilty upon his return hecould hardly make the proper responses to the "decade" which Hanora was "giving out." He did not come home until 10 o'clock the folio wins night—nor yet the next. He explained his absences by mysterious allusions to "caucuses" and "primaries," thereby soothing Hanora and stultifying his conscience. It was not until Hanora found a rose in the buttonholle of his coat one morning and a little lace trimmed handkerchief in his pocketf that her diresf doubts were aroused. But even these Tobias explained away. "Sure the flower cost notnm', Hanora. 'Twas from a bush I was passin*. And the handkerchief was on the sidewalk. I thought belike you could make use of it." He was rapidly becoming a beautiful liar, A week later he refused to go out with Hanora and Dennis on account of the night being damp. He had rheumatism, he said. So his sister and his friend went to the theater and Tobias settled himself to the composition of a long and fervent letter, the accomplishment of which necessitated frequent reference to the pocket dictionary hehad bought for this purpose. To make a long story short—and it was not such a long story when all was said — Hanora married Dennis Maguire. Tobias was desolate—disconsolate. Ht> might go to live with them. Dennishad won a treasure. Yes, he might go to live with them after awhile. For the present he would take his meals at, a restaurant until sure what could be done with the furniture—and so on. All through her wedding journey, which lasted full three weeks, it troubled Mrs. Maguire to determine what was the matter with Tobias. She tol<f her new made lord all about his evening absences, his mild -acceptance o? distasteful viands, his abrupt and eager hospitality toward Dennis—even about the rose and handkerchief. It was not uutil she had returned to Chicago and went out to the flat vhere had been passed her years of mature maidenhood that she really discovered the. t r u t h a b p n t Tnht.ng,— _ ^ L For the flat into which she let herself with her tatch key was altered, decorated, illumined. There were curtains of rosy swissollne at the windows. There were a lot of flowers on the table. A canary sang in a gilded cage, and—what was that? A parasol in the corner—a hat on the sewing machine! Such a frivolouus hat—all chiffon and daisies! Hanora turned quite faint. Could Tobias—- "0," cried a radiant little creature fluttering out of one of the Pullman car apartments which serve as bed^— rooms in the modern flat, "I did-not know any one was here. Take this chair. You are Mrs. Larch, I know. Tobias said the wife of his friend in the shipping department would call. We are not really fully settled yet. Our wedding was quite a suurprise to our friends, but really We had been considering it for some time. I was in the ribbons, you know, and became acquainted with Mr. Ryan while at the. store. But it seems he had an old maid sister living with him. and having a girl's natural distaste for relations- in-law—though doubtless someof them are kind enough, I suggeste T-— to Tobias that it would be better t > marry her off if possible before—why —what " For Mrs. Dennis Maguire _had_r|sai in aghast and stately discomposure.

The athletic carnival to be held during the great Exposition will be the most notable in the history of American sport. The co-operation of many of the best promoters of athletic games has been secured. Visitors to the Exposition may therefore expect to witness the meeting of the most famous athletes of the world in competition for prizes worthy of their best feats. It is said that the great Colosseum at Rome could accommodate 87,000 spectators. The Pan-American Stadium will be 129 feet longer and but 10 feet narrower than the historic amphitheater of Rome.

Dr. Buckley, editor of the Christian Advocate, well says: "No more transparent sophism than that of the attorney-general, on which the war department gleefully acted, was ever employed to deprive the people of what congress meant to give them, than that by means of which the law ordering the expulsion of the canteen from the military Btations of the United States was interpertjedsoasto perpetuate what it is j intended to destory." Rum is getting in its work in | the navy aswell as in the army. 1 This is seen by the startling state- | ment made by the Chicago Tribune in regard io the wrecking, of the American warship, Charleston, off the Philippine islands, recently. The Tribune says: "The letter to Secretary of the Navy Long, charging that the Charleston was wrecked because many of the offiicers in charge of the cruiser were drunk is not the only communication of the' same kind in the country. Several letters have been recieved in Chicago. One is from a man in Manila, who is vouched for by his friends as thoroughy trustworthily, and who is in a position to know absolutely all the details attending the i wreck. This letter charges, in so fmany words, that the Charleston j was run on the reef because the men in command at the time were so under the influence of liquor that they did not know where the ship was. This statement, the letter said, was freely made by the crew of the Charleston, and U5ADILLA FARMER* CtCB. had been repeated many times amoving their comrades and to the soldiers at Maniva." The Charleston was a splendid cruiser, cost the government $2,000,000, and is a total wreck. The club met at the Mr. and Mrs. Gtto AttRJRT on Saturday last and considering the busy time of the year a large number were present. The question of the August picnic was. taken up and discussed and it was decided to accept the invitation of the North Lake Grange to meet them in a picnic at Stephenson's grove, North Lake, August 7. Henry Arnold gave a recitation which was well received. A dolls quarrel was~then rendered by Janette Pyper, and a song by F. L. Andrews. This was followed by a few rambling remarks by Rev.S. G. Palmer as to how to make the club more successful. He thought everyone should be ready to take part every time there is a meeting. Song by Messrs. Gates and Otto Arnold and wives and an instrumental piece by little Vancie Arnold and song by Miss Mabel Hartsuff. These were followed by the question box which was found very interesting. * What is the object of the Far-; mers Club? Mr. Gates—to meet together to exchange thoughts and! get new ideas. What is the reason people do not visit as much as they used to? Otto Arnold—aire living in a faster age and do not have time. Mr. Glenn—In an early day there were not so many social gatherings and that was the only way of visiting. The dicussion was very interesting and was entered into by nearly all present. What kind of soil is best adapted to beans to raise the largest crop? Mr. Hartsuff—this year the sandy soil is the better—ordinary years I think the low heavy ground just as good. Which is the most profitable sheep to breed? Z. Hartsufi—It depends on circumstances. For me I want a merino for another perhaps a mutton sheep. Today wool is low and many people are eating mutton so that that class of sheep are the better to raise unless we can raise a sheep that will produce both; Mr. Glenn thought EXCURSIONS UETTB Niagara Fall* Alexandria Bay Montreal, Tronoto Thnrftdar, August 2nd* Tickets will be sold on above date via Detroit and M.

Is it good policy to cultivate beans in the blossom? Mr. Howlett— Yes, I think the ground should be stirred, especially if the season is dry. Has the farmers life a bright side? Mrs. Gates—yes. Mrs. Crossman—it would be bette*r if we could have better help in the house. Mr. Hewlett—The larger side is bright. The farmer is the most independent man on earth.

There was something in the toe ol my boot, and I sat on the bed, and Rose pulled and pulled, and when tin boot came off she fell back and bumped her head. But she jumped right up, and we looked in the boot and found something worsted that jingled. It was yards and yards, and Rose said, "It is a mile long," but I kjew better. Horse lines never are miles long. They were all lovely colors, and grandma made them; she knits things I harnessed Rose, and we raced dowr to the kitchen, where Mr. Handy was putting up shelves, and he measured them with his rule and told us they were just twelve feet long.

Then Rose was so tired she went and sat by Katie, who was tafking to another girl about hats and things, and I had no one to play with. Far off I saw the Reed boys, and I ran to show them my lines. Rob harnessed Phil, and. snapping the whip, hollered "Gee up, Buster!" and started to run off. He called to me to go stand in the stable and be the horse asleep. While I was standing there, feelinglonesome, the old gentleman in the wheel chair called me over to him. I know hini.. reaL-welL... He has to be pushed about and is all wrapped up He likes children and talks to them and gives them peppermints. I told him all about ray birthday. but kept looking around for the boys\ when he asked me who I was looking for. I told him about Phil and Rob leaving me in the stable. Just then they came racing along, and the old gentleman called "Whoa!" and they stopped. "You're a first rate driver. Rob; here's a peppermint for you, and you're a good fast trotter. Phil; here's a peppermint for you; but the little colt here must be hungry, standing sc Ions in the stable, so hero are six peppermints for him.'' The boys laughed a funny little laugh, and we all thanked him. We took turns after that, but r.o one stood in the stable.

Catastrophe and disease entered t h e earth so early that one of t h e first w a n t s of the world was a doctor: Our crippled and agonized human race called for surgeon and family p h y s i c i a n for m a n y years before they came. T h e first s u r g e o n s w h o answered t h i s call were m i n i s t e r s of religion—namely, t h e Egyptian priests. And w h a t a grand thing if all- clergymen were a l s o doctors, all D. D.'s were M. D.'s, for there are so m a n y cases where body and scul need treatment at the s a m e time, consolation and medicine, t h e - o l o g y and therapeutics. A s the first surgeons of the world were also m i n i s - ters of religion, m a y these t w o professions a l w a y s be in full s y m p a t h y !

If t h e y failed in any surgical operation, they were persecuted and driven out of tne city, as was •Archagathus because of hi3«bold but unsuccessful attempt to savft-a, pa^_ tient. • ' j ^ . y h e Surjcoa In History. But the world from the very beginning, kept calling for surgeons, and their first skill is s p o k e n of in Genesi3. where t h e y employed their art for the incisions of a sacred rite, God m a k i n g surgery the predecessor of baptism, and we see it again in II Kings, where Ahaziah, the monarch, stepped on come cracked latticework in the palace, and it brcke,TriTd he, fell from the upper to the lower floor, and he was so hurt that, he sent to the village of Ekron for aid. and Aesculapius, w h o wrought such w o n d e r s of surgery, that he w a s deified and temples were built for his worship at Fergaraos; and Epidaurus and Podelirius introduced for the relief of the world phlebotomy, and Damocedes cu;redo>the dislocated ankle of K i n g Darius and the cancer of his queen, and Hippocrates put successful hand on fractures and introduced amputation, and P r a x a g o r a s removed obstructions, and Herophllus began dissection and Erasisiratus removed tumors, and Celsus, the R o - man surgeon, removed cataract from the eye and used the Spanish fly; and Heliodorus arrested disease of t h e throat, and Alexander bf Tralles treated t h e eye, and R h a z a s cauterized for t h e prevention of hydrophobia, and Percival" P o t t came to combat diseases of the spine, and in our century w e have had, a m o n g others, a Roux, and a Larray in France, an A s t l e y Cooper and a n Abernethy in Great Britain and a V a l e n t i n e Mott and Willard Parkar and Samuel D.

"The blind receive their sight and the lame walk; the lepers are cleansed, and the deaf hear." < I notice this s u r g e o n had a fondnes3 for chronic cases. Many a surgeon, w h e n h e has had a patient brought to him, h a s said: ' " W h y w a s not this attended to five years ago? You bring him to me after all power of recuperation is gone. You have waited until there is a complete contraction of the museies, and false H t a t u r e s are form* ed, and ossification h a s taken place. It o u g h t to have been attended to l o n g ago," But Christ the Surgeon seemed to prefer inveterate cases. One w a s a hemorrhage of t w e l v e years, and he stopped it. Another was a curvature of eighteen years, and he straightened it. Another was a cripple of thirtyeight years and he walked out well. The eighteen-year patient was a w o - _man, bent almost double. If you could call a convention cf all the surgeons of all the centuries, their combined, skill could not cure t h a t body so drawn out of. shape. Perhaps they m i g h t stop it from getting worse, perhaps they might contrive, braces by w h i c h she might be made more comfortable, but it is, humbly speaking; incurable. Yet this divine surgeon put both his hands on her, and from that doubled u p posture she,.began to rise and the e m - purpled lace began to take on a healthier hue. and the muscles began to "elax from their rigidity, and the spinal column began to adjust itself, and the cords, of the neck began to be the more supple, r,nd the eyes that could see only the ground before, n o w looked into the face of Christ with gratitude and up toward heaven in transport. Straight! After eighteen weary 3nd exhausting years, straight! The poise and gracefulness, the beauty of healthy w o m a n h o o d reinstated. The thirty-eight years' case was a man w h o lay on a mattress near the mineral baths at Jerusalem. There were five apartments where l a m e people were brought, so that they could get the advantage of these mineral baths. The &tone basin of the bath Is still visible, although the waters h a v e disappeared, probably through s o m e convulsion of nature. The bath, 120 feet long, forty feet wide and e i g h t feet deep. A h , joov man, if you have been lame and helpless thirty-eight years, that m i n - eral bath cannot restore you. W h y , thirty-eight years i s more than the avarage h u m a n life. N o t h i n g but t h e grave will cure you. B u t Christ the Surgeon, w a l k s a l o n g these baths and I have no doubt passes by s o m e patients who h a v e been o n l y s i x m o n t h s disordered or a year or five years, and comes to the mattress of the man w h o had been nearly four decades, helpless and to this thirty-eight year's invalid srid, "Wilt thou be made w h o l e ? Chridt the Chief Surgeon. The question asked not because the surgeon did not understand t h e pro-, tractedness, the- desperateness of t h e case, but to evoke the man's pathetic narrative. "Wilt t h o u be made w h o l e ? " "Would you like to g e t w e l l ? " "Oh, yes," s a y s t h e m a n . "That is w h a t I came to these mineral baths for. r All the surg e o n s have failed, and all t h e prescriptions h a v e proved valueless, a n d 1 g o t w o r s e and worse, and I can n e i t h e r m o v e hand nor foot n o r head.

One thing that eeema especially to bother you people la that while a house of lords exists nevertheless lords, earls and even marquises are t o be found among members of the house of commons. This conjee about from the socalled courtesy titles borne by eldest sons and heirs. For example, take the case of, thef,Mar<lu1« of Lome, now —ninth Puke of Argyll, who married the Princess Louise. He bore the title of marquis during his father's life by courtesy. The peerage is divided into dukes, marquises, earls, viscounts and barons, and the'Spiritual peerage into archbishops and bishops. The title duke is very old. Hannibal was called Duke of Carthage. The Doge of Vealce was a duke. A duke is addressed as 'His Grace and Most Noble,' and by the crown as 'our right trusty and right entirely beloved cousin.' Marquises were formerly military leaders, who guarded the limits or marches of the kingdom.. Hence; they were called Lords of the Marches, or _Marquises. They are addressed as 'Most Honorable,' and by the crown a6 'our ripht trusty and entirely beloved cousin.' Viscounts, or vice countesses, were sheriff*, in earlier days. They are addressed as 'Right Honorable,' and by the Crown as 'our righty trusty and •well beloved cousin.' JBarons, originally by tenure, then by writ and now by letters patent, are bearers or supporters— from the etymology of the word—and- are styled 'Right Honorable,' and addressed by the Crown as 'our righty trusty and well beloved.' The royal addresses sound like a game where you go on losing a word, .don't they? The only title by tenure, i —think, now existent among us is the •Earldom of Arundel, which the Duko of Norfolk holds by his tenre of Arundel Castle, but this was confirmed by a special act of Parliament. Baronets and knights are both addressed as 'Sir,' but while the former is a title that holds with and descends in the family, the latter exists only during the life of the holder. Sir William Van Home, who built the Canadian Pacific, is a knight." " " " i " WOKI. *r »•».*««* «. CALIFORNIA P R U N E S . Variety Said to Be Superior to the French Article. According to a statement made by United States Consul Joseph I. Brittaiu, stationed at Nantes, France, the quality of the California prunes is superior to the French, and the duty is not excessive, being but 10 francs jscr kilograms, or less than one cent per pound. If the prunes are carefully selected and tastefully packed in sub* stantial boxes, and are always as represented by the samples, there will soon be a much larger demand from this part of France. I was recently shown samples of California apricots packed,in five-pound boxes. The first layer was composed of large yellow fruit, while underneath the fruit was not only small and inferior, but it was very irregular in color. The effect oi such methods can be imagined. The French people are not easily deceived, and the California fruit dealers who anticipate orders after sending such samples are making serious mistakes. One of the Nantes importers recently received a consignment of California prunes from New York City. He told me he could buy them cheaper in California, but he wished to have them guaranteed by some one with whom he was acquainted; hence the order was given through the New York house. These prunes were nicely packed, but the dealer says he lost about 20 cases in consequeuce-of_Jthe boxes having been made from very thin lumber. I measured one of the covers, and found the lumber to be less than one-fourth of an Inch in thickness.'* Mary J.

Irteonsulting several physicians they decided I suffered with catarrh o f t h e stomach. "Their prescriptions <*did not s e e m t o help me any, so, reading of the remarkable cures effected by the use of Peruna I decided totry it and soon found myself well repaid. "I have now,used Peruna for about three months and feel completely rejuvenated. I believe I am permanently cured, and dp not hesitate to give iinstinted praiso to your great remedy, Peruna." The causes of summer catarrh are first, chronic catarrh; second, derangements of the stomach and liver; third, impure blood. buch being the case anyone w h o knows anything whatever about the operations of Peruna can understand why this remedy is a permanent cure for summer catarrh. I t eradicates chronic catarrh from the system, invigorates the stomach and liver, cleanses the blood of all impurities, and therefore permanently cures by removing the cause—a host of maladies peculiar to hot weather, The cause being removed the symptoms disappear of themselves.

The Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway Co. has completed an extension of their route to San Francisco, and opened it up recently for passenger business, opening for freight business having been made several weeks ago. Heretofore, San Francisco and the other cities of central California have been_ connected with the east by only one transcontinental line, and the entry of the Santa Fc route to compete for public patronage may be expected to result in much better freight and passenger transportation for those cities. ,The Santa Fe road is now the only railroad under one ownership and management all the way from Chicago to San Francisco.

Phoenix sleeps out of doors in the summer and the bedroom is born out of that necessity. . It is on stilts, b built of wire screen of fine mesh, for the Phoenix mosquito is microscopic in size. It is furnished according to the taste of the occupant, with interior curtains" to keep out the morning sun, the gaze of the curious and the sand storm. The bed is a cot of canvas or wov,en wire, covered, perhaps, with a sheet, but even a sheet feels like a featherbed on a Phoenix summer night. The bed covering is the roof of the bedroom, and careless folks who consult their comfort only don't wear nightshirts. Phoenix is proud of Its climate during eight months of the year, but it doesn't talk much in public about its midsummer. It is a right warm day when the government weather bureau doesn't know what the sun temperature is and is unable to determine it, and that 13 how hot it gets in Phoenix. I called on Observer Burns one day last July and asked him what the "official" temperature was in the sun. He said he did not know and that the government couldn't afford to experiment to that end. He said he had attempted to catch the sun temperature 'during" the summer of 1898 and had broken a $3 thermometer in the attempt. To please my curiosity he hung a thermometer in the sun, watched 4t-until it registered 136 degrees, and then took it in, fearing it would break. The dryness of the atmosphere relieves this great heat of any terrors to all living things except women and cats.—Phoenix Graphic.

CHAPTER V. A dirty, untidy lodging In' an English slum. An unkempt man, with «11 the sign* of drink «Ail dlaeiDattoa Upon his low face; such was the man mad such was the surroundings of a man whom Alan Maeke&ate W& <to risk In his beautiful estate of La Pax. His had never, been an honest, attractive face; but now there had come into it- a look of such devilish cunning: and dissipation had given ' him such a bloated appearance, that it was evident he would soon reach she lowest depths of degradation. Alan Mackenzie's denunciation of him had been his ruin. He had tried to retrieve •himseli had speculated, and had fld&idered. deeper Into the mire. He made even Bio too hot for him, and returned to England. Veronica's disappearance meant .nothing to him. He would nave got -rid -of her to the highest matrimonial bidder, that was all. j($iw) was oiot -his daughter, aB he h$d told her, only Jihe orphan child of",a m&n he .had ruined, and whom he^had brought up because her beautiful mother had been the -one woman he had reaUy cared, for. But for Veronica .herself he bad not the slightest affection. -She was too quiet, too affectionate. -Her .mother, who bad jilted him, -had been a coquette, and had thus won Hutchinson's love and .admiration. He was just JOOW sitting at the corner ol a very dirty bed, with a glaes of some spirits at -his elbow. He looked pleased with -himself. "So he married her!" he said, and burst out into rude laughter. "He1 married her and she got "drowned!' Who * Would nave thought it of th^m, both so innocent! Now there.is-only one thing to be considered. Shall I let him marry the other, and bleed him afterwards, or shall I stop it now? Which will hurt him most, I wonder? I think he loves this girl. Shall I separate them?" He thought'.a moment. A look of cunning came over his face. "No," he said, "they shall get married. I will give him six weeks, and then he shall either bribe me or be exposed!" He rubbed his hands with glee and then pulled himself up again. "But he isn't going to eheat me of my revenge!" he cried. "'That would be nothing—a man soon forgets a woman. After all, it will be the woman who suffers most; but he—he has beggared me! *He~has deprived me of my very life! He shall suffer for it. I shall never rest until my knife is driven into his very heart!" Hutchinson tcfok a draught at his glass. ."There's nothing left me but this," he said—"nothing! And I have so much—carriages and horses, and fine living and everything going well. I should have been the richest man in Bio, the most powerful Englishman over there. There is no need for me to prompt .my memory lest I forget; the wonder is that I did not come across him before. Let me see, he is such a eoft, he will have told this girl all .about .ft before. No, no! My best plan will ,be to wait until after the marriage—:hls second marriage!. And Veronica? "Well, .she does not know where to find either him or me. I can drop her for a week or two. She has more cunning in Jier than I should have thought possible, for she never mentioned Mackenzie's name to me. I had no idea .that he knew anything about her. It was the merest guesswork; but what a chance! I havenlS had a chance for more than four years. Perhaps the luck has turned, and the man who ruined jne is destined to put me on my legs again. But -mrquarterl W4»teverhtruoe^i.snarh still take my revenge!" Meanwhile, the object of eJJ these plots and plans had gone home a little disturbed. Alan Mackenzie ccuild not look 'unmovGd at the picture of the.wreck-of a man's life. He knew that he counted for something in Hutchinson's ruin—nay, for a great deal. Hutchinson had never been a good man; but there had been a difference between the man who schemed at La Paz, surrounded by every luxury, and the dirty, drunken scoundrel he had met in the streets of London. Then, too, the mention of Veronica disturbed him. He bad never thought to much about her aa he had lately, perhaps because he had never understood before what love-meant. Now, In his love for Joyce, he began better to understand the poor dead girl's feelings. He did not regret that he had not loved her better; he rather rejoiced that his best love should go to Joyces And ht knew that be had always bean perfectly kind to her, at fee y u to niost women; but at knew sow whet' the • separation from him must have meant to Veronica, and how, when she was drowning even, her one regret would be that- she should see his face" no more! The preparations for the wedding went on apace. Joyce was very popular among her friends, and quite recognised to be a pearl among womanhood. Old General Grenville, her father, had a large acquaintance, who were all disposed to make much of the beautiful,- -bright girl. Not a "few men were envious of Alan's luck. There was quite a little stir in the circle of which Joyce was the ornament. It only wanted a fortnight to the wedding, and Joyce and her betrothed were driving down Regent street together. It was the beginning of May,, and they were to be married on the seventeenth. Both Joyce and Alan were willing to forego the details of the London season. They bad taken a charming house in the country, where they intended to spend the summer in honeymooning. If they liked the neighborhood, and it suited them, they thought of buying it, as a little country house where they could live when tired of London. But for this season it was to be their home as soon as they bad returned from abroad. "They were on their way to Liberty's to buy hangings for their new abode when a block occurred in the traffic. Joyce and Alan were laughing at some foolish joke, - and waiting for their hansom to be allowed to moye on. A slight woman with a child in her arms attracted his attention. '"" The child was about three, and Alan could see that his head was covered with rich brown curls. He could not see the woman, but the pose of her head seemed familiar to him. In an instant the color forsook his face, and everything seemed to turn black before his eyes. When he had regained control over himself the woman was gone. Joyce turned quickly and saw the pallor on his face. "Alan," she cried, in alarm, "my darling, what is it? Are you not well?" '_ "A passing fnintness." he said. He could not tell her that this strange woman carrying a child, and Whom of course he had never seen before, reminded him of Veronica, and it gave him a shock. "Are you often like this?" she asked, anxiously. "'Oh, Alan, there is only a fortnight more, and then I shall be able to came and take care of you always! I am .sure you do too much," she added, tenderly. He gripped her hnpd harH jf would be exquisite to have her with him always; but he was truthful above all things. "I have never been faint before," he said. "Then it is t h e prospect of spending life with me that alarms you," she said, gaily. Alan had regained his usual color and his usual manner. The cab stopped at the door of th-n shop, and he sprang out to help her down. They were both very much in earnest over their purchase. Joyce had exquisite taste, and Alan £ was deeply interested in getting all that she wanted; but he was conscious all the time of a feeling of strain. Do what he would he could not get the woman's figure out of his head- It was an utter absurdity that this strange woman with her child should have so upset him, and he hated himself for the thought that he must always keep something from Joyce. Although she knew all about it, yet he felt that he should not have liked to tell her why he turned faint when ,the hansom stopped. He did so yearn minded,me of poor dead Veronica. Mia* yon, I <tyd not see her .face, be* aone*hinf in her walk waa Uke. i aw 9 Joyee waa as pale aa Alan ha4 bapa* • w a*^OW' W p ^ H ' ' e> a^a^a tsjgnaa ^^^•e^^ae o>^9^P loved Her more than you thought* "No, no!" he said, ' i t la not thai at alt, Joyce, but the sight of that strange woman made me'realise bow necessary yoa are to me. l*rlin*, it I Knox a* follows: Ha$e followed com is because I love you so that I cannot bear to think of losing you. If I bad to wait another two months instead of two weeksX-think I should mo mad!" He pushed his kair from his brew and leant his head oa hia hand. Joyce saw that he was overdone and naryoua, and that she must brace him up a little. She recognised, with a gush of.thankfulness to God, that here was a man who loved her aa few men love women, and that the poor dead girl could never have had his heart It was only pity, as he had said. She saw this in a flash even as she looked at him. t "Alan," she said softly, "put away these fears, sweetheart. See, here I am; look at me. I am yours till death and after. Death itself has no terrors of separation for people who i o v r a s we. What do you think—that flesh and blood could contain our love? No; we belong to each other for always, and Here comes our lunch, and you will have to eat i t " And he did eat it, cheered by t^he sunshine of her eyes and the music of her voice. And after lunch they sat up in one of the balconies and watched the boats go down the grimy but sunlit bosom of Mother Thames, for the hotel looked out upon the river. And Alan smoked, and they made plans for the future. Where they would go, and what they would do, and what they would see, together, together, together always. And they talked of the folly of married men and women who go their separate ways, not recognizing the divinely blessed link between husband and wife. And when they rose to go they knew that they were nearer to each other than, they had ever been before. It bad been a golden afternoon, although now the sun had gone from the river, and the mist was rising a little. Still, as Joyce said, "No mist can blot the sun put forever." She meant it as an allegory, and as an allegory Alan understood i t And then they drove home again together, and that evening Alan Bpent quietly, doing a little work which was necessary, seeing that he had spent a good many hours doing nothing but making love to Joyce. And on the morrow he had forgotten the strange turn that the woman had given him.. Nothing happened during the—neri fortnight, which went all toa slowly for him, until his wedding day. On the contrary, each day his heart became lighter, and he looked-forward each day to that which would see the consummation of his dearest desires. And so the wadding day came, and •Alan forgot everything but that the sweetest woman in the world was go- I n y t n holnnff Yn h i m f r o m t h a t d a y forward Jorcvermore. His responses rang out clear and fluent, as did hers." He forgot Hutchinson and Hutchinson's enigmatic prophecy—that there might be a strange wedding guestthough "he could not have known that Hutchinson had chansed his mind, and that there would be no strange wedding guest that da3'. hv forgot everything, save that the time was coming nearer and nearer when the carriage door would be closed behind him and Joyce, and he would whisk her of!, his own dear bride. And it is no exaggeration to say that the sun had never shone on two happier people than Alan and Joyce MacKen- (To be continued.) Horn A m o n g I h e BtOlrushe*.

"It's .only because my happiness has made me nervous. I feel like the old Greeks,.who made libations to their gods when some great good fortune happened to them. If I could only give something—a thank-offering—for what I have got!" Joyce was too much ih sympathy with him not to know that something was worrying him.

The nomination of Mr. May bury was not the* only one that Indicated that the Michigan Democracy is notjabtd a* to 10 to X. Judge BamsdelJ, of Traverse City, named for llcutgnantjtovernor. was lukewarm as to Bryan In 18M6. but the mention of this fact In the convention had little effect on the .delegates, though Ramsdell was opposed by a strong man like Philip. Wachtel. On the other hand. Populism was recognized in the uomlnation for secretary of state of John W. Bwing. of Grand Ledge, ex-chnirman of the P<w>ul!st state committer, y - The old eoldiers are represented in the nomination of Hiram B. Hudson, of Mancelona. for auditor-general. It was not until the convention got down to naming candidates for presidential electors at large that the slight of the Germans was noticed and then two uames of that nationality were placed on the ticket for elcetore-i Philip Wachtel ana Lorenz Hubinger. To demonstrate that there is no feud between D. J. Campau and Mayor Maj<l>ury, the convention re-elected Mr. Campau for state chairman with a whooy, and Mr. Campau will direct Mnybury's campaign. One of the peculiarities of the convention was that not a single ballot was completed, the weaker candidates always withdrawing when they saw they were beaten. This was only one of the roany indications of harmony, add only one incident occurred to mar the. peace of the gathering. When Senator George F. Monaghan arose to nominate Wni. C. Maybury for governor there was a shout of approval from the delegates'at the mention of the mayor's name. Senator Monaghan predicted that Mr. Maybury would be elected In November. He spoke of the corruption in the last Republican legislature and among Republican state officials, and said these things, made conditions of great hope, for tXie Democracy of Michigan. One after another of the candidates withdrew in favor of Maybury. ami on motion of Mayor Perry, of Grand Rapids, the rules was suspended" and the. secretary was* instructed fo cast the unanimous vote of the convention for Win, C. Maybury. This was the signal for an uproar and the band joined in, playing "Tlie Star Spangled Banner." ssas»=aatoBBBBB The Platform Thr> Democrats of Michigan, in COR- . ventlon assembled, in eoimnnn with ••very well wither of ocr beloved commonwealth regret the present ct>iidition of tlv- political and nrttfi'nistrnilve agencies, which,, under Republican control hav« so riebsiuche,! cur grovernmental system as to disgrace the st;ite and debase the function?. 01' a free government.

A, W. Greely, cbjef signal officer, has received so many letters containing suggestions for devices to be used In the war against China that he is bewildered. They present countless ideas ranging from a cipher code to a scheme for destroying the combined forces of the Boxers at a single blow. The cipher code came from a western man who declares that "it baffles skill to unravel this code." To this statement Gen. Greely agrees most heartily.

We denounce It specifically for its failure to submit to the people the constitutional amendments relative to taxation demanded by the state grange and farmers' cUrcs; for its failure to increase the specific tax on railroads; far its failure to pas» the mining tax measure; tor Its refusal to repeal the special railway Charter; for its refusal to pass the anticolor' "oieo" law demanded by the state grange and dairymen of the state; tor its refusal to submit to tho people the constitutional amendment providing for the so-called "initiative and referendum" and for which submission every Democrat in both house* voted; for Its refusal to pass the measure- f«* the regulation 01! freight and switching oharges; all of which reforms we pledge the Democratic party to pass if given control of legislation by the people. r The principle of home rule is and always has b*»en democratic. The nearer the responsible discretion to the people affected, .the better is the check upon Its Wrongful exercise. We, therefore, advocate the widest application of this principle consistent with the sovereign control of the state.

C. Mavbiiry, mayor of Detroit^ could poll mpro votes than any other candidate, and It was this confidence, together with the good work performed by Ju&tln R. Whiting, of St. Clair, that the^tetroit mayor wag made t>he nominee of the Michigan Democracy. The convention was one of the few great political gatherings that did its work without the debauchery of money or O? dictation of bosses. If there was any disposition to dictate it was abandoned in the face of overwhelming sentiment. It was not an enthusiastic gathering. Its tone was one of hope. There was a realising sense that a big natural Republican majority would have to be orercome, as well as the 16 to 1 aadicap, bat the bad record of -the last Republican legislature, the scandeU of tho military board, -and the use of would be forthcoming in other directions, and we demand a full and. soarchln-r inqu. iiy into the methods of every department of the state government, and the institutions under its control.

These two individual* wera a study for one another. The,hour in which Allen accepted the position of private secretary, a short t^rne before, they found a pleasant communion of tastes and ideas and a peculiar inexplicable sympathy of feeling i&at seemed to have puszled both. Halbert was a confirmed bachelor; he boasted of never having proposed to any woman.! he was afraid of them; In his estimation they were all scheming politicians and ready to marry him or any man at a moment's notice. "Keep the women away from me," snarled Halbert at times when driven by force to a crush. "I'd rather smoke or sleep." And the little secretary with*.a strong, boyish ardor kept them far away ami comforted Halbert- with his companionable silence. The one measure in Allen's make-up which Halbert could not understand was his reluctance to smoke. He could never get him to indulge even in a cigaret. And in the matter of drinking, though Allen could mix a punchy or a cbcktall with commendable art, he brought them untasted to Halbert as a kind of offering to that exalted wretch. "You should have been a woman, by gad," Halbert said once to him. "A thousand pardons, Alien, but you would have made a fine girl. You've got grace and tact enough for it, you know. Why, brieve me, Alien, if there were women like you today, with the brain and all, I believe I'd marry one of them:" Allen actually blushed and retreated in confusion.

He liked to slap him on the back.and he said he felt lonesome when the chap was away. "I tell you what, Allen, I don't know whether to adopVyou as • my son, considering the fact that I 4&all never have one of my own, or whether to let things slide on as formerly and just double your salary." Things slid on as formerly until Halbert announced a hunting trip to Abysslnla. He had actually completed plans for both and was sketching out in his imagination the delicious comraderie of two in a tent in the wilds of Africa when Allen announced his intention to resign. •> ''You ungrateful beggar, you can't - resign," Halbert shouted. "Why, my boy, 1 can't go without you. What's the matter?" "The fact of the matter is, sir," Allen replied, respectfully. "I don't want to go with you." It was a blow, and it landed between Halbert's eyes. He loved Allen, if he ever loved any being on earth, and this was the first time that he ever had been thwarted. Not given to sentiment or pleading, he nursed his agony silently— for Allen's abruptness stung him with all the agony of unfilial ingratitude, or unrequited love.of treachery In a friend—everything. It pained Halbert as he had never been pained before. That afternoon he. ordered hi? horse for a-loag ride and. went out dejectedly with a load on his shoulders. He wanted to puzale out the situation He had never to plead with any one before In his life for what he wanted —and he hated to plead now. It might seem thrmanly, he feared. He went cut without calling to Allen, and he did not return for dinner.

His valet settled him, comfortably on a divan1 and had left theToom when Halber*. sank into a slight slumber. In a few moments Allen came in, white, haggard, limp with anxiety, and stood there looking a t Halbert with startled pain in his gaze. Then, with a sudden, incontroUable impulse, he knelt down beside the divan for a moment and, grasping one of the sufferer's hands in his own, crushed it to-his lips with a sob of distress and pafn. , Halbert opened his eyes and turned to look at him. He was almost too dumfounded to speak. Allen got up in confusion, and Halbert kept smiling and staring at him in a riot of bewildered Jd«s, groping as he did In a Que?r labyrinth of uncertainties, like a man struggling to face some peculiar situation that his mind refused to grasp. , "I trust you will pardon my intrusion," Allen said, standing by a window and looking out into the night, "but they told me you had been seriously hurt, and—and—it almost broke f my heart." Halbert sat up on the edge of the divan, and, drawing his dressing gown around him closely, remained there, loqking at Allen like one surprised in half toilet and somewhat nervous because of it. The kiss of the youth burned still in the flesh of his hand, and it traveled along the channels of feeling and'warmed his heart Something was groping In his mind for recognition. He still stared at Allen and took in, with careful, scrutinizing gaze, the supple lines of his tall, slender figure, the curves of his long neck, the slender hands and feet. "Allen," Halbert said, and he got up and walked close to the youth and stood near him, his eyes still searching the boyish face, "Allen, I want to ask you a question. In God's name, don't be offended! f Tarn wrong. But I don't tnink I am wrong. It never occurred to me before, but I am a blind fool, and it unnerves me. Look at me, Allen, and answer this: Are you a woman?" —Allen winced—and—turned—farther away and lecned against a table as If to steady himself. The young face was seamed with pain. There was a long silence as Halbert waited for the other to speak. "You are a woman," he repeated. "Yes, I am a woman." The words came at last, firmly, almost defiantly, like thunder in Halbert's ears, stunning hirn-v "My God!" was all that came from between the parted, eager lips of the other. "But this costume—why this? I don't understand." "Because everyhody has a prejudice against' petticoats in the professions," the girl answered, "and I was bound I would not let that interfere with my progress. Why should I be bowed down, tied like a slave, because of a mere selfish, unreasonable prejudice?" The color-burned in her cheeks brilliantly, and Halbert stepped toward her with a sudden, quick movement, his arms outstretched, love on his tongue, in his eyes, in his gestures. The girl stepped away from him as he would have touched her arm. "Mr. Halbert," she said, with dignity, "I am your secretary, and in your rooms, and you have discovered that I am a woman. Please respect my unhappy position, for I want you to Selleve that I am neither a designing adventuress nor a simpering dolt There is another class that you seem to be unacquainted with—that you dc not seem to take Into ^«slderatlon." She looked at him steadily, her eye? burning with determination. Halbert's head sank under the siege of her look. Her speech hurt him; U crushed him. Yes, he loved this girl; he understood it now.

She I s SEascvline in Appearance ar.d Dislikes Men. A Groote Schuur, Cec^l Rhodes' beautiful home, a few miles from Cape Town, is presided over by his sister, Miss Edith Rhodes. She is said to dislike men as much as her brother dislikes women. She, however, dispenses hospitality on a most lavish scale and entertains all of her brother's guests; Miss Rhodes is of masculine appearance and has been described as resembling" "the^ English squire—ot sporting prints." She is rich, generous, and businesslike, and her impulsive nature wins .her many friends. Miss Rhodes has many peculiarities, but as she has an ample fortune a good deal is forgiven her. On board a steamer not long ago she gained herself a tremendous popularity by regulating the handicaps for the running matches and acting as umpire in the tugs-of-war. Away from home she is thoroughly masculine, and takes her part with men in any sport; but at home, where she has a lady companion in constant attendance on her, she is as feminine as any woman can be, and makes a genial hostess. She is greatly interested in the Zoo at Groote Schuur, upon which Mr. Rhodes has spent a fortune, and is fond of driving about the estate, which comprises six miles of splendid drives. Miss Rhodes has a better grasp of South African politics than.some members of the colonial office, and it is needless to say that she is the loyal champion of her brother, Cecil, and all In which he is concerned.

Dean Stanley received his first appointment at court as chaplain to Prince Albert, to whom he had been Introduced by Baron Bunsen, but he did not come Into special contact with the cueen until after the death of the prince consort, when, in fulfillment of an arrangement made by the prince before his death, Dr. Stanley accompanied the prince of Wales on a tour in the east. He went uncomplainingly at a time when his mother lay stricken with a fatal illness and there seemed little prospect that he would return In time to see her alive. Her majesty was unspeakably touched when she discovered this act of loyalty, and her own grief drew her into close sympathy with one who likewise, sorrowed for a loved one. Upon his return from the east Dr. Stanley spent a week at Windsor, where he conducted a series of mournful and moving < services in connection with the anniversary of the prince consort's death, and was the means of affording much spiritual comfort to the queen. At that time a friendship was cemented which, closed only with death. Home Barly Risers. An ornithologist; having investigated the question of at what hour in summer the commonest small birds wake and sing, says the greenfinch is the earliest riser, as it pipes as early as 1:30 in the morning, the blackcap beginning at about 2:30. It is nearly 4 o'clock, and the sun is'well above the horizon, before the first real songster appears'in the person of the blackbird. He is heard a ^alf an hour before the thrush, and the chirp of the robin begins about the same length of time before that of the wren. The house sparrow and the tomtit occupy the last place in the list. This investigation has ruined the lark's reputation for early rising. That much celebrated bird is quite a sluggard, as it does not rise until long after the chaffinches, 1 Janets, and a number of hedgerow K-c« have been up and about.

The best way to transplant fruittrees can hardly be given sa4sfac:or.ly In the columns of a paper, for the . eason that there Is much detail in regard to it that can only be learned by experience. In a general way, however, among the important things in transplanting trees are to prune . off the broken portions of the root, and if the roots have been shortened in the process prune the top to correspond, taking pains to leave the tree in good form. In setting the tree it should be set about two inches lower than it grew in the nursery. In digging the holes for them it is desirable to put the subsoil and top soil separately, and in covering the roots put in the dark soil first. It is very important, also, to thoroughly firm the soil about the roots, so that the tree will be well anchored. This should be done by stamping in the soil around the roots as the hole *is being filled up. Do not wait until the hole is filled before doing so, but do it every six inches as the hole is filled. Dig the hole large enough fo receive the roots without crowding. Where a large number of trees are to do is to stake out the land carefullv. and then plow straight, deep furrows where the rows are to go. Mark the land the other way, puting stakes atJ the ends of the rows. It is then Quite easy, by sighting along the rows bow ways, to get tne trees in position. If the rows are very long it is deBlrable to put up several stakes in the course of the row. But the most important of all directions is to start with vigorous, healthy trees with a good root system. Luwn-lttaklnt K»«y to S«|T«. One of the greatest problems in general gardening is the production pf * good turf and maintaining it Yet it is easy to solve, to, if carefully attended to. - . ' . . * . Tne cmef tning is to start rigbt. There should be a good, rich, loamy top soil six inches in depth, at least, in which the seed should be sown. Unless for some very good reason, which would seldom be the case, one kind of grass only should be sown, which will make an ev.en, regular growth if cared for. Dishonest contractors are occasionally to be met wth who-do not hesitate to "skimp" with the top soil, and a weak, s t u n t e d - } ^ U 6 » a l e 8 CSLmh.. and tufted growth of grass is the result Kentucky blue-grass is the most popular and best for more northern states, being very hardy and close-growing. It Is a famous pasture-grass, and thrives in almost all soils. For excessively dry sons, -where il has been: found difficult to establish ordinary grass, she6D fescue, a vftry fine, "silky" grass, will be found admirable. Around the base of large trees where it is not also shady it will grow right up to their trunks. This is also recommended for sowing in sod which is troubled with annual grass or weeds, as it may be cut very close and the, annuals prevented from seeding- while telling what to do it is well to add what to avoid. Whatever kind of grass is employed to seed with, it should be a slightly creeping and not of a tufty character. It is impossible to ciake a close, even carpet with a tufty grass.— Meehan's Monthly.

He must feel that he, Hutchinson, could hold the sword over his head, that he could let it fall at any moment. He had rubbed his hands at the publicity of the marriage. .Alan Mackenzie would never give atp his beautiful wife. Veronica would have to be paid off. Joyce would not be Alan's lawful wife. It was going to be a life of misery for the young man, and at the end there would be Hutchinson's dagger for his heart. But the whole thing heeded careful handling, and Hutchinson felt that he was the man undoubtedly who oould handle it carefully;- Even if at the end Veronica refused, as watt pus^ibTe,' tb'cbme forward and make Alan unhappy, nevertheless he would have to pay for his silence. "He live* i h - a nice little house in the country," Hutchinson said at last. "I will give you the address. You had better gf> by train. Have you any money?" "Yea" said Veronica. "I was paid for my lessons yesterday. I must write to her when I have seen,, Alan again. He may not .wish me to go on giving lessons,*' But all the time she spoke' her face was transfigured.

"No, what f want to do is to make money out of him. Hs will not be able to deay me anything when .1 restore bin bis wife and child." That sounded possible. Veronica smiled, and let herself be happy in A t thought sbat wbat\ f be had so nwually .came by. It was so important dAat -Veronica sbould see him alonei JUH! sat there sjnietly straining bar bar ears for tbe gsound of bis footsteps. H took bar tack to ber gfrlisb days at La Pas, wben she bad often watched for him as ahe was doing now. Truly there bad been no yean of separation from hisa, and no boy beside bar, As the time drew nearer tbe strain' grew almost too intense. She pat ber band ovir ber heart so as to stop its wild beating, sad tbe rich color that generally flooded bar cheeks left ber, and she was pale. And sudintervals, "Veronica! 0 God! 0 Ood!" It waa she who spoke first; be could not find words, or anything out the .piteous moan, and ber voice was touching in exquisite joy. "Tee, Alan, it i s l , saved from the sea, my dearest And hero' here is pur child. Are yotii not pleased? Tell me you are pleased, for I have longed so to see your dear face again! I have longed So to bear your voice Z cannot believe It has come at last!" She came quite near to hbn, advancing as she spoke. It seemed as if she were longing for ^im to uncover his face, to take ber into his arms. "Alan," she cried, "oh, my darling, are you not glad to see me?" There was still no doubt in her mind. She thought that the joy of seeing ber had been too great, and that be was trying to recover from the shock. She had no doubt, poor soul, at all. He loved her, therefore ber coming to him must be inexpressible joy. ' Then Alan uncovered his haggard face. "Glad? No! It has ruined my life!" be cried brutally. But for the moment he could think of nothing but Joyce—his Joyce, with whom life had begun so joyfully, and whose heart he must now break, as his own had been broken. "I ,wish I were dead!" he said, with a sob. "Alan!" The anguish in her voi£e matched his. "Is that what you^have to say to me, your wife, the mother of your child, who has undergone all hardships, and who has just lived on because, you were in the world? Oh, Alan, if you do not want me, I had better go." She. turned, walking unsteadily, holding ber child's hand tightly. And then a great temptation assailed Alan Mackenzie. The temptation to let her go, to let her be lost to him, to say nothing to Joyce; but to go on as if the day's work had never been. ^ And then he saw in a flash what his life would be. How every moment of happiness with Joyce would have its corresponding moment of bitterness when he was alone; bow be must live a double life, always on the brink of detection. Not worse, perhaps, that the life parted from Joyce; but- then pie -would be~an~bonest man, and not a traitor. He put his temptation away from him, thanking God that he could do so, knowing that Joyce would not love a man who was dishonorable. So before Veronica had staggeei'd a dozen steps away he.- callfid to her hoarsely to come back. She turned at owse. obedient as always, and for a moment he hated himself for bis brutality to so gentle a woman^Her tears were falling down the beautiful face. She looked up at him with the old look of faithful love, still pushing the child towards him. "Yes," she said, questioning him, "what is it, Alan?" "I am married," he said, crudely and hoarsely, thinking it beat to tell her at once. "I thought you were dead. I heard nothing from you since I left you; it is four years ago. They told me all on board were drowned, and I could hear nothing of you. What wonder then I thought you were dead ? And so I married, Veronica— I am married now!" And then for a long time there was silence between them.

Of the ninety-four farms, nine worked with a loss. Of the remainder, only sixteen returned interest on the working capital; nineteen yielded 5 per cent on tbe working capital and 3 per cent on the investment for buildings; fifty yielded 5 per cent on the working capital and 3 per cent on the capital invested in buildings, and in addition an income on the lands ("Grundrente"), which latter In two Instances amounted to 6.17 per cant which grasps one without warning; the niucoas membrane which lines the; entire body suddenly become* weakened in some spot and disease is established.

The expression of the eye is really in the lid. The eye itself, independent of Its surroundings, has no more expression than has a glass marble. A prominent Engl ins oculist makes this daring statement, and he defends his position with eniphasiB. "The eyes have no expression whatever," he says. "How do you explain the fact that the eyes of one person are more expressive than those of another?" I am asked. They are not. The difference consists in certain nervous contractions of the lids peculiar to the individual. "Observe for yourself, and you will see that I am right. We will say that I am greatly interested in something, and my attention is suddenly called from it by an unexpected interruption. My uper eyelid raises itself just a little, but the eye proper does not change an lota in appearance. If the Interruption is but momentary: the elevation of the lid will be but momentary. If the surprise caused by an interruption is continued the lid may_be_ raised even a iittle morerantTIn ~"fact7 the whole of the forehead, including the eyebrows, is raised and wrinkled. But the eye remains the same. "When a person is excited much the same emotions are gone through," continued the doctor. "His eyes are open wide, in cases of intense excitement, to their greatest extent, but the forehead is not wrinkld, and the ball of the eye is as expressive as a bit of glass. No more. "Observe the face of one who laughs. You will see that the lower eyelid has no muscle of its own, and it is only by the contraction of the adpacent muscles in smiling or laughing that it is made to move. That Is why there are many wrinkles about the eyes of merry persons. "The expressive of deep thoughtfulness is produced by the drooping of the upper lid. The lids of some persons fall so low that the pupil of the eye itself is the same. If the meditation is over a subject that worries the thinker the expression is given quite different. The eyelids contract and the eyebrefws are lowered and drawn together. This is true of a reflective mood. — "As to emotional moods, there is the expression of anger, for instance. The eyes, instead of closing, are open wider than they are normally, but the brows are ctosely knit. "In expressing sadness the entire upper eyelid comes about half-way down and the folds of the skin collect there, giving the lid a thick, heavy appearance/' Pleasant, Safe and sure are Knill's Black Diarrhoea Pills.

There are two kinds of layers; called erring and summer layers, from the season at which they are made. Summer layers are made in the summer, generally the last of July, from a branch of the same season's growth. They are likely to be weak for several years, and do not make as good plants as the spring layers. In making them, the wood should be slit for an inch or so near the buds that > are covered. Bury about one foot of the cane four inches deep in the ground and it will be rooted by late autumn, when it should be separated and treated as a young vine; -and it" is generally best to get them well started in a garden or nursery before planting in the vineyard permanently. Spring layers may be made by laying down any 'cane early in the spring. It will root in one season. By fall it will have made a good growth of roots, when it may be cut from the main cane, and if strong it may be divided into two plants. This form of layer is illustrated i& figs. 1 and 2.

For this purpose some thrifty cane should be selected in autumn, pruned of its laterals and buried, In the spring it should be uncovered and only one shoot permitted to grow from each joint. After the new growth has started about six inches from each but the whole cane should be layered about four inches deep, handling it carefully so as not to break the new growth. Fig. 3 shows such layer after it has rooted. It is a good plan to cover it not more than three inches at first, and to fill up the trench as the shoots grow._ If covered four inches deep at once the young growth will sometimes rot, though this seldom happens, and ___ some skillful growe«—fill the trench The children {full-at once.

The Rouen Duck The Rouen duck 4s a fine market bird, but does not mature as early as does the Peking or the Aylesbury. The flesh is considered very delicate and the breed is acknowledged to be superior for table purposes, being easily fattened. The Rouen will be found a profitable bird to raise on the farm, beiu£ hardy, prolific, quiet in disposition and of beautiful plumage. Their eggs are not as large as those of the Peking and are diverse in color. The Rouen is undoubtedly closely related to the* Mallard duck. Its plumage alone would make good this belief. But the shape of the domestic Rouen duck has been greatly modified from that of the wild Mallard. The body is grown longer and heavier, with a tendency to drop down in the reai* and the wings have lost the power of flight which the wild ancestor possessed. The plumage, bowever, remains almost the same.— Bulletin Department of Agriculture. ^"*" How to Judge Horse Mtaracter. Horse phrenology is the latest discovery of the Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons of England. According^ to Harold Leeney, a member of the college, it is easy to tell a horse's character by the shape" of his nose. If theje is a gentle curve to th? profile, and-at-the same time . the~ears are pointed and sensitive, it is safe to bank on the animal as gentle, and at the same time high-high-high. If. on the other hand, the horse has a dent in the middle of the no&e. it is erjually safe tp set him down as treacherous and vicious. The Roman nosed horse IsJ. certain to be a good animal, for hard work and safe to drive, but he is opt to be slow. A horse with a slight concavity 'r. the profile will be scary : nd need coaxing. A horse that droops his ears is apt to be lazy will as well be vicious. Hard work sometimes make a horse which started out properly lrt his ears drop, as Is illustrated by the animals that pull the North Side carettes.— Chlctgo Tribune. Stock Note*. ^*S! Every time you worry your horses you shorten their lives and days of usefulness. Many recommend sheep for feeding in orchards rather than swine. They leave no safe cover for insects to breed, and will keep the orchard healthy and the trees manured. The_ sheep should be clipped clean about the hind parts, lest filth gather and attract blow flies. A mixture of glycerine and fish oil in equal parts is t to smear over such parts, — The average life of the city horse Is said to be six years. In view of the enormous amount of horses used in cities, it is no wonder the demand for good ones is so large and steady. Lime water is considered very good for scours in iambs. Where it is to be fed to all sheep a quart of slacked lime is put in a trough and fifty gallons of water put in. When thoroughly settled the sheep will drink it without hesitation. A breeder of sheep who has lost some of his animaTs from the dogs of neighbors believes that Instead of putting bells on sheep every dog should have a bell or be destroyed. It is an idea worthy of consideration by those interested in protecting sheep from dogs. Teach colts to walk, and walk fast by allowing no other gait until they have fully accomplished the walk.. It Is the best gair for the farmers' horse, and the best preliminary training to fast trotting. If the hogs to be slaughtered are fed wfthiu twelve hours of their killing the food is wastedrrtfte meat will be more disposed to sour, and it will be more difficult to remove the distended intestines and take from them the larcl. - - - • - . £ While the people of Great Briain pay $50,00'.'. 0./ for imported butter, no American dairymen ought to be discouraged. ing the day will care the most sever* cold, and stop the most distressing c o u g h . , * • • " ' ~ F. \. gigler, W.

So greatly honored were the masons who builded these walls that they were free from taxation and called "free" masons. The trowel gets most of the credit for these buildings, and its clear ringing on stone and brick has sounded across the ages. But there is another'implement of just as much importance as the trowel, and my text recognizes it. Bricklayers and stonemasons and carpenters, in tV> building of walls, use an instrument made of a cord, at the end of which a lump of lead is fastened. They drop it over the Bid* of the wall, and,, as the plummet naturally seeks the center of gravity in the earth, the workman discovers where the wall recedes and where It bulges out and just what is the perpendicular. Our text represents God as standing on the wall of character which the Israelites had built and in just in time to sAv* him frojga .4rown- that wa_^y testing it.

The find has created great excitement, as it is thought there may be other buried treasures in the neighborhood. And I said, A plumb line." What the world wants is straight up' and down religion. Much of the socalled piety of the day beads this way and that to suit the times. It is oblique, with a low state of sentiment and morals. We have all been building a wall of character, and it is glaringly imperfect and needB~recdhstrucfcon. How shall it t>e brought into perpendicular? Only b j .the divine measurement. "And the ,]Lord ga4$. unto me, Amos, what seest thou? And I said, A plumb line." — \ The whole tendency'of the time3 is to mike us act by the"t standard of What others do.

Thousands of years ago Solomon discovered, the tendency of buyers to depTeciata goods. He saw a man beating down an article lower and lower and saying it was not worth the price asked, and when he had purchased at the lowest point he told everybody what-.a sharp bargain hehfc& strttckiad h o V h e outwitted the merchant ' "It is /naught, saith the buyer, but when he is gone his way, then he boasteth" (.Proverbs xx, 14). Society is so utterly askew in this matter that you seldom find a seller asking the price that he expects to get; he puts on a higher value than he expects to receive, knowing that he will have to drop. And if he wants $50, he asks $75. And if ho wants $2,000, *e asks $2,5Q0. "It is naught," saitii the buyer., 'jThe fabric is'defective; the styje ot goods Is poor; X can get elsewhere a batter article at a smaller price, it is out of fashion; it is damaged; it will fade; it will not wear wall." Aftef awhile the merchant, from overperiuaalon or .from desire to dispose of that particular stock of goods, saysl "Well, take U at your own price," and the purchaser goes home with light step and calls i n - to his private office his confidential friends and chuckles while v«e tells how for half price he .got the g o o t a 8SSS99S mm « * f t * time* t o good a livelihood t o ht^W» WfW Vtm Nothing ^ o x U d - y a W t I and the earniag^ot easy a^ thf r ani^raal ajlaitida o r t h n law of riiht.

And what, with, the large number of clerks who are making false entries and then- absconding and the explosion of firms that fail for millions of dollars, honest men are at their wits' ends to make a living. He who stands up amid all the pressure and does right is, accomplishing something toward the establishment of a high commercial prosperity.

When people tell me at what a ruinously low price they purchased an article, it gives me more dismay than satisfaction. I know it means the bankruptcy and defalcation of men In many departments. ' T h e men who toil with the brain need full as much sympathy a s those who toll with the hand. All business life is struck through with suspicion, and panics are the result of want of confidence. The pressure to do wrong is stronger from the fact that i n our day the large business houses are swallowing up the smaller, the whales dining_ on bhieflsh and minnows. The large houses undersell the small ones, because they buy in greater quantities and at lower figures from the producer. They can afford to make nothing, or actually lose,' on some styles of goods, assured they can make i t up on others. So, a great dry goods house goes outside of its regular line and sells books at cost or. less than cost, and that swamps the booksellers; or the dry goods house sells bric-a-brac at lowest figures, and that swamps the small dealer in bric-a-brac. And the same thing goes on in other styles of merchandise, and the consequence is that all along the business strae of all our cities there are merchants of small capital who are in ^terrific struggle to keep their heads above water.

Yet there are tens of thousands of such men getting splendidly through. They see others going up and themselves going down, but they keep their patience and their courage and their Christian consisteency, and after awhile their success will come. There is generally retribution in some form for greediness. The owners of the big business will die, and their boys will get possession of the business, and with a cigar in their mouths, and full to the chins with the best liquor, and behind a pair of spanking bays, they will pass everything on the turnpike road to temporal and eternaLperdition. Then the old fogyism." My text gives me a grand opportunity of saying a useful word to all young men who are now forming habits for; a lifetime. Of what use to a stonemason or a bricklayer is a plumb line? Why not build the wall by the unaided eye and hand? Because they are insufficient, because if there be a deflection in the wall it cannot further on be corrected. Because by the law of gravitation a wall must be straight In order to be symmetrical and safe. A young man Is in danger of getting r defect In Till wall of character tha? may never be corrected. One of the best friends I ever ha^t died of delirium tremens at 60 years o/ age, though he had not since 21 yeai* of age, before which he had been dis* sipated, touched intoxicating liquor, until that particular carousal that took him off. riot feeling well in the street on a hot summer day he stepped into a drug store, just as you and I would have done, and asked for a dose of s o m e thing to' make him feel better. And there was alcohol i n the dose, and that one drop aroused the old petite, and he entered the first Ihydor store and staid there until thoroughly under the power of rum. He- entered his home a raving maniac; his wife and daughters fleeing from his presence, and at first he ;was taken to th6 city hospital to die: The combustible material of earj^r habit had lain quiet nearly 40 ye^ats, and that one spark ignited it. as a square? Why is not an obliqueL business will break up uud the smaller as good as straight up and down? My' dealers will have fair opportunity. Or the spirit of contentment and right feeling will take possession of the large firm, as -recently with a famous business house, and the firm will say: "We-have enough money for all our needs and the needs of our children. Now let us dissolve hualnpaa anrt m»V» way for other men in the same line." Ins*oad of being startled at a solitary instance of magnanimity, It will become z common thing. I know of scores of great business houses that have had their opportunity of vast accumulation and who ouglit to quit. But perhaps for all the days of this generation the struggle of small houses to keep alive under the overshadowing pressure of. great louses will continue; therefore, taking things as they are, you will l?e wise to preserve your faith and throw over all the counters and shelves and casks the measuring line of divine right "And the Lord said unto me, Amos, what teest ti'.ou? And I said, A plumb line." . Tfc* Only Religion, I want you to notice this fact, that when a man gives up the straight up 'and down religion of the.Bible for any new fangled religion, it it generally to suit his sins. You first hear of his change of religion, and then you hear of( some swindle he hat practiced in a special mining stock, telling some one if he will put in $10,00u>he can take out $100,000; or he ha* sacrificed his rittejrrity or plunged into irremediable Fan Is Wholciome. ember that the wall may bo 100 t high, and yet a deflection one foot m the foundations affects the entire structure. And if jou live 100 years and do right the last 80 years you may nevertheless do something at 20 years of age that wiH damage all your earthly existence. All you who have built houses for yourselves or lor-otfaers, am • for every ^nan hasJ-J n o k-right. i n jsaxiag _to__these young men, you cannot build a wall so high as to ,be independent of the character of its foundation?

I can be guided in building everything from foundation to capstone. Lord God, by the wounded hand«of Christ, throw me a plumb line." "But," you say, "you shut us j'oung folks out from all fun." Oh, no! I like fun. I believe in fun. I have had lots of It in my time. But I have not had to go into paths of sin to find i t N a credit to-me, but ^because of an extraordinary parental example and influence I waa kept from outward transgressions, though my heart was qad enough and desperately wicked.

Yet, though I was never intoxicated for an instant and never committed one act of dissoluteness—restrained only by the grace of God, without which restraint I would have gone headlong to the bottom of infamy—I have had so much fun that I don't believe there Is a man on the planet at the present time who has had more. Hear it, m&n and boys, women and girls, all the fun is on the side of right Sin may seem attractive;;but it is deathful and like the manchineel, a tree whose dews are poisonous. The only genuine happiness is in a Christian life. Maude—If I only had my life to M7e over again Clara (interrupting)— Why, I thought that's what you were doing. Maude—What do you me ah?

" ' ' To-night Giles Ferguson would come for hia answer, - A sharp sense of repulsion overwhelmed her. She ooaW not marry himr i$he would n o t She bathed; coiled her darar halY afresh, went down to'dinner i n a gown of rosy lawn. At & o'clock the hopeful suitor made his appearance. He wore a brand new suit, and was apparently prepared for conquest. He and Beaslnger talked. At 10 Barbara was to give her final jle? claion. She'watched the clock In an agony of nervousness. Half past 8? The hands were moving around the dial with appaling speed. Nine! She did hot know the bell had rung— that a visitor was shown in. He was young, tall, good looking. With a start she recognized the agile captor of her veil. "The small gentleman is Mr. Ferguson," she heard the servant say. The. stranger walked straight up to Barbara's suitor. * "How do you do, father?** he said. ••What's that?" screamed the old man. He had turned ghastly. "My name is Robin Ferguson. I only arrived yesterday from California. Your man told me I would find you here. My mother -died three months ago. Dying, she told me the story of your desertion of her, when I was a little lad. She made me promise to look you Up. For her sake Tve done i t I can prove all I say." "I-*—I—I can't discuss the matter ,11 n 11,11,1,11)1 3E=3B5C Wi •'/• .'Xil Barbara was 18. She had a round, w J t n y o u here—now!" His teeth chat ply. "Give me two weeks more to consider. Then—I'll say yea, if I can —for^ouTHLWfce-—you pck>l7~dearr olfl worried thing!" ; Beasinger made the most of Barbara's concession, Ferguson was profoundly gratified. "His one movable eye expressed his happy anticipation. "Tell her," said he, "that I have never married because my ideal was so lofty. Never until I met Miss Barbara did I meet any woman possessing every perfection." "Tell her yourself," advised Quintus. "Girls don't like to be courted through their parents." So Ferguson called every evening. His deliberate compliments and languishing glance set her wild with rejentment.. Two weeks! Why hadn't she said two months? Surely the hours were racing by. It seemed to her the days fairly, galloped out of sight. Her father grew more haggard —more depressed. She used to catch him watching her furtively. Ferguson would stave off failure, would build up his business, would put his credit on a firm basis, if only-^— He had been a good father to her. She would probably never fall in iove anyway. Perhaps she ought to do as he wished —there she shuddered; The- fateful day of her decision arrived. A glorious day it was, crisp and golden, with a rollicking wind skurry- Ing along State street and playing pranks at the corner where'towers the Masonic Temple. Just there it swirled a girl's skirts around her slender'ankles, and—not content with this audaeity— snatched oft her veil and flirted it out of reach. But a tall- young, man tn a gray suit gave, prompv pursuit; "0, thank yon!" cried Barbara Beasinger, blushing, when he stood before her, hat in hand, returning the truant trifle. "You are very kind!" A murmured deprecation, a lingering look of admiration, a deep bow, and he was lost in the crowd. Barbara went home in a strange state of exhilaration. Some little ones at her gate offered her roses. She took the roses and kissed the children. She had never thought flowers and child faces so beautiful before'. She found tered so he feared they would drop out. "Even rf—if It were so—I'd not give you a cent!" The newcomer burst out laughing. "I'll never ask you for one. My mother's brother left all his property to me, and there's a rattling lot of it, too." "O!" gasped Ferguson senior. This gave matters a new aspect. But— there ftwas Barbara. The clock struck 10. "Barbara," said Bessenger, rising, "you agreed to tell Giles Ferguson at this hour whether or not you would marry him." White as a l i l y Barbara came forward. The young fellow stared In delighted surprise, as turning, he faced her. "Never! You, would not wish me now, papa, to do so. - He has deceived me. At any rate, I could never love him." Then she bowed slightly and took herself and her peach-bloom gown from the room. But soon Barbara learned how easy it was to surrender one's whole heart when the one destined lover came. Out of confidential talks grew reconciliation between father and son. The former came to the wedding^ —z7~ "Lord, what an old focH I was!" he said. "Things are only as they ought to be! Bessingerand I are going into partnership. Together we will make the' business pay. And Rob, would you—have you—any objection if I were to—to kiss .the bride?" "No, indeed!" cried the groom, heartily. "No, indeed!" echoed the bride sweetly, as she held up her glowing cheek. E.aftticlty of Marble. The Nuova Cimeato contains an interesting article by P. Gamba, giving the result of his experiments upon the elasticity of marble. Plates of marble were impregnated with different liquids' and the effect measured. The experiments are best carried out with water, a3 by drying the marble may be slowly brought back to its original condition, the curves of deformation being the same befbre and after..the. action. The deformation is greater for ths wet plate and the residual effect is also greater; there is thus a considerable increase in the flexibility of the wet marble. OUT, glycerin and solutions of paraffin give similar results, although the marble cannot be forced from the liquid and brought back to its original state as with water. Petroleum, however, causes no difference in the flexibility. Glycerin gives tiie greatest effect. Bate O M W Elephant'* Feet.

Ten years ago the ground vhere tha AMgnifieent hotel property of the Indiana Mineral Springs Company is located at Indiana Mineral Springs, Indiana, WM wholly unimproved and almost a wilderness. Now, owing to the discovery of the valuable medicinal qualities of the springs and the heating virtue of the soil itself, together with the enterprise of Major H. L. Kramer, there is located there one of the finest sanitariums in the United States. The natural picturesque surroundings have been made mare attractive and the hotel is a model of comfort and elegance. For the greater accommodation of guests who come in constantly Increasing numbers from every section of the United States, arrangements have now .. been made for the enlargement of the hotel buildings. The contract was let yesterday by Major Kramer for additions that will cause an outlay of over $30,000. The improvements will consist of a new bath house and an addition to the hotel. The addition will be two stories in height and will occupy a ground spaee 80x160 feet. It provides forty additional guest chambers. The entire addition will be handsomely t-nd elegantly furnished. The bath house, when completed, will be the finest in the United} ,Statea. Besides the bath house and the guest chambers there will be on the first floor a dining hall, a music room, a billiard ball, physicians' offices und a barber shop. In connection with the bath house there will be ladies' and gentlemen's dressing rooms and cooling, rooms. The dressing and cooling rooms will be elaborately decorated and the floors will be laid in white tile. In both cooling rooms will be built large ornamental fire places which will be used for heating purposes in addition to the regular steam heating. The work will be entirely completed in 90 days. The improvements and the entire arrangements of the hotel and grounds are made, keeping in view the artistic effect of the whole, and when the improvements arranged for are completed the hotel and surroundings will be much more attractive than before. Major Kramer states that a still further addition to the hotel is contemplated, and that plans are now being prepared for an additional structure to contain 150 rooms for guests. Already a quarter of a million dollars has been expended on the Indiana Mineral Springs enterprise and under the present . management greater growth and development in the future Daily Ledger. ebulorood h o ry oeuo amautlst£uttatakaeaJal jdairsasaMjle r,e tannedd leiae, o JrBdaelriw's >dHiraelel'us yC aotna rtrhhe C ba&fe o4ts *aost4» jaBvuseuoameki smuerdfaiccien*e. . fua wtahsi sp croetaxonrtrlbjre dfo bry yoenaen o,f a tnhde blae sat rpefrearisalcria parae - fSta«l^W 4m*4V«m"»M«• >w«i*tf*i t»h«eo b«e«sat< W«borofda etWror*t fTlehne. pfcetrafse)c tp caoemdtbfliMna ti»ounc o*fw thoei^ tfwuror lon««^reudliFrncu(er llan g The world doe*n*tcare whether youjhaire ear- *™^^*SV em^^^peBBemwM^Bpt ssmmmijBmrjBmgBQ)^p£ ••^eamiiJBMOeww* ShIet lwaiall waelxarenw hoanvwaeeavayeawo dprreasis*e. s her husband.

Until a week ago it was widely ! known that after Aug. 1 no more Puerto Rican silver would be exchanged but the notice of the indefinite extension of time was published far and wide.

Indications of the desire of China for a peaceful settlement of her present difficulties have been multiplying for several days.

The blow had been to cruah— tttg> to unexpected—that be had not isemed glad to gee her, that bit heart and by her sadness, "you would have dona very, wrong It you had not come" 6he gave him her addreta and left h|m. When the had gone a little way "He are she tad not leant out to.ber, at'here dld^irom bim the took her boy in her * him,, that hit eyea did not rett tor me moment upon the boy, waa bad *nough; but that there abpttto be another woman in her place! Oh, that **as anguish, intolerable! At latt she spoke. "You lore her, Alan?" she tsked. ^Better than my life!" he answered passionately. "Oh!" She gave a little shudder. -Then I will go and leave you to your Happiness," she said quietly. "It's foe only way—the only way. I will take aur boy and go!* "But you cannot go!" he groaned. "I made you my wife, Veronica, and is long as you live you will be my wife, although my heart and hers may break." "I break your heart?" cried Veronica. "Why, I would give my life for you. I would not have you unhappy for a moment if I could help it. I love you as much as in the old days, Alan, before the shipwreck. Oh, why was I saved?" He looked at her, and poor Veronica's heart failed her. There was no love in that look. All the love of Alan's heart w,as given to Joyce. There was pity and despair, but no love. When a woman loves a. man she can soon see the difference. He uld not say that he praised God that he was saved, and he did -not. "Tell me about it," he said mechanically. If she talked he would be able to think what it would be best to do^ for her. But as for him, the despair of his heart almost choked him when he thought that in about half an hour he must pull down that beautiful fabric of their Uvea, must ruin Joyce forever! He could scarcely think of Veronica in his overwhelming agony; but she spoke, glad to see his interest "I was washed in shore, into a sandy bay, Alan. I had gone through the anguish of dying; but when -the people found me they brought me to, but the shock had been too much for me; I could not remember anything. And then in about five months baby was born, and then it all came to me slowly. 1 was ill and weak and could do nothing; I could scarcely think. Then at last when I wrote the letters were sent back to me. and I beard a rumor that you had gone back to England,— T was penniless. I did not know i t you wanted our 'marriage acknowledged, so 1 did_not write to Mr. Dempster; but as my strength returned my courage did also. I began giving singing and guitar lessons. People were good to me. I worked hard, and at last scraped together enough money to take me in a sailing boat to England. I hate the sea. I was afraid of it; but you were there, and I came. But it was a year before I could And anything of you, and I should not have found you at all but Hutchinson told me he had seen you and had spoken to you." "When did he tell you that?" "Two days ago. ,But he told me that he had seen you two months ago, and you had spoken of me. You had told him we were married, Alan, which he had not known. He tracked me heme from a music shop, where they get me music lessons; but I cannot tell why he delayed." Bu*. Alan could. Hutchinson, in his cruelty, knew that it would be the ruin of Joyce's life as well as his own if this marriage with her could be consummated first. He knew Hutchinson hated him,.so this was his revenge! He tried to* think of Veronica, but it was of no "use. Joyce's image came before him whenever he tried to think of the poor girl who was his wife. The little toy, also, was looking at him' with his, Alan's, own blue eyes, Which were so great a contrast to his curly dark hair. That these poor creatines, dependent upon him for love which he could not give, troubled him. "Veronica," he said at length, "will you go back to where you live and I will write to yon when I have seen her?* "The wife you love?" asked poor Veronica.' "Yet," said Alan. "Will you do that? Ton know that you can trust me." "Of courte," said Veronica, simply. "I will do what you say always. It It misery to me to think that I havo made you t o unhappy, when I thought only to make yon happy" , "My poor girl," he said, deeply touched by the contrition in her tone arms and hugged him fiercely, never looked at you, my own" said—"never once! « u t you mother's joy! Oh, Alan, Alan," wailed, "why Was X saved!" But Alan was standing where she had left him. He told himself that he was no coward, but that his heart failed him tor this. There was no way out of it. He and Joyce, his wife of six weeks, must part! At last he roused himself; it was getting late. Joyce already would be uneasy about him. The thought of her pretty wifely solicitude, and how after today it might never be put to the test, overcame him altogether. To feel that Joyce was living, and that he must give her up, that they were both young and loving, and must go on living apart forever, was too nfuch for him. "My God, help us to bear it!" Afterwards it came back to him with profound regret that he had never thought ...of Veronica at all; but . he could be thankful that he had seen her and had not hated her. He crept home slowly^like a wounded animal going to its—lair. Home! The very word hurt hira. And be ana Joyce had only this morning talked of buying the pretty house for their summer residence. This morning was it, or years ago Could it be only an hour or so since he left the -station, all unsuspicious of what was to befall him? For he had been unsuspicious. H<? had entirely forgotten the woman who he now easily identified as Veronica. He had been happy as it is given to few mortals to be happy. He groaned aloud as he opened the door which led into the pretty hall. His throat was dry; be could not call Joyce. But Bhe had evidently heard the opening door, for she came out of the raorning-room, which they furnished with the hangings they had bought on the day he had seen Veronica. She called gaily to him and a little reproachfully. "Oh, Alan, how late you are, you naughty boy! And GUT r i d e - will you have tea first?" He timply could not answer. It wa3 impossible; his tongue clove to the roof of his mouth, and his dry throat could net articulate a sound. "Alan,"- she "called again, "come along, darling." "I am coming." His voice was, howover, so muffled, in a moment she was alarmed, bhe cftmo 'running out. tu him. "Alan, Alan, what is it? Are you ill, dearest?" Her unconsciousness almost killed him, together with the thought that he would have to tell her. Then she came up to him and saw his face. In an instant she knew that something awful bad occurred. Her jaw fell, and she staggered up to him, putting out her hand and feeling as if she were blind. She was unconscious no longer, for she remembered vividly the day when he had turned so white, and had told her the reason afterwards cs they sat together at the hotel. Her quick mind told her that his-ashy greyness and tba misery on his face had something to do with his dead wife. Hand in hand they went together into the pretty morning-room* into which the sun was shining, and they sat down speechless. A bird in a bush close by set up its joyous son^. Nature was full of gladness. Then suddenly he wrenched his hand out of hers and threw himself headlong upon the couch. Sobs broke from him and his shoulders heaved. For a moment she let him weep, and then she knelt down beside him and flung her pretty, soft arms round his neck, and pressed her cheek,' down which the tears were running, against his, so tha^ their tears mingled together. "Tell me like this," she said. But he could not speak, his grief was uncontrollable. And so in whispers she began: "It is something about your wife, Alan—your first wife, I mean, poor Veronica?" He groaned, and an awful knowledge came to Joyce—a knowledge that clutched her heart and made her very being stand still. For a moment the saw nothing distinctly, heard nothing distinctly, only felt Alan's tears upon her cheek. Then, when the mist cleared away: "Is she alive?" she whispered. "Yea!" he cried. "Alive? Oh, my poor heart! Alive! Your wife? And X—I " He aat up then and grasped her hands in his. "You, you!" he cried. And the agony of hit voice came back to Joyce tor years after. "You! I've got to give you up, Joyce? You,' the wife of my heart, my own, my soul! You've got to be as nothing to me! How can 1 do it" ri dont know," the tatd feebly, "And-yet, Alan, we must!" <*Do you think I don't know it?': n« cried, "Do yon think I would have you live with me while my wife wae living? Do you think I should let one person in this world point a finger of acorn at yon? Do you think 1 should let you toil your beautiful white soul tor me? Oh, Joyce, 1 love you too perfectly for that, you are too dear to me for that! I will aay good-by to. you, my own, and never look at your face again; but I will not let you live disgraced. But the parting—the parting!" Joyce's white face uplifted to his, Joyce's hands grasping his, Joyce's Whole being suffused oy love for him, and he had to give her up! No more exquisite agony had to be imagined than this moment's, and yet, when it came to the actual doing of it, it so far transcended the imaginings of it that this interview almost seemed sweet in comparison. "The parting?" she re-echoed. "The parting? You mean that we must cease living in the same house, in the same place, together?' Alan, can we do it? Will strength be given us? Oh. what shall we do?"

Money is always attendant upon reputation, for nowadays the successful man is well rewarded for his ability. Diplomacy seems to be one of the most paying professions to follow. "The salary of an ambassador," is a wellknown saying when any one wishes to indicate that such and such.a person is possessed of great wealth. Sir E. J. Monon, our ambassador at Paris, is the most highly paid of all those vigilant gentlemen who guard our interests abroad. He receives for his services the princely income of £9,000 a year. After him comes Sir H. Rumbold at Vienna, with £8,000; Sir F. C. Lascelles, at Berlin, with the same yearly sum, and Sir Charles Stewart Scott, who draws £7,800 from the public purse to represent us in St. Petersburg. All the English diplomats are well paid. "Here is a list of some of them, giving the place at which they reside and the income that comes to them for it: Washington, £6,500; Rome, £7,000; Turkey, £8,000; Tokio, £4,000; Egypt, £6,000; Teheran, £5,000—a list taken at random, which serves to show the large earnings of our representatives. The English church is still a paying profession for the men at the head of it. The archbishop of Canterbury, Dr. Temple, enjoys, and-indeed earns, the nice little sum of £15,000 a year, while'his colleague of York is, like the bishop of London, paid £10,000 for his arduous and never-ending labors. The carl of MllUo, lh\t governor of Canadat heads the list of governors with £.10,000, and after him comes Sir Alfred Milner of £ape Town with £8,000. Lord Beauchamp of NewSouth Wales gets £7,- 000, as also does Gen. Grenfell, who looks after that island fort, Malta. Sums of £6,000, .£5,000, and £4,000 are common salaries. Consul-generals are munificently paid. Two of them— Viscount' Cromer 6f"~Cafro and Sir H. M. Diirand of Teheran—each receive £5,000 a year. For being first lord of the admiralty Mr. Goschen draws £4,- 500, while Sir Richard Webster, until the last few daysT enjoyed as attorneygeneral £7,000. Mr. Chamberlain has, besides his own large private fortune, £5,000 as his .official salary, while for commanding the array Lord Wolseley gets £4,500. The home secretary, Sir Matthew White Ridley, has £5,000 in salary. Despite the large figures given above, no one, not even the archbishop himself, can- compare in his earnings with those of a successful barrister. Of all "tip-top" men, your leading counsel is the most fortunate. Lord Russell of Killowen as a barrister made something like £20,000 a year.— London Mail. Tie.

On Saturday last the members of the Anderson farmers club held their first annual picnic in Van Winkle's grove southwest of this village and everyone went to enjoy the day and scenery. I t is without doubt oue of the most picturesque places in this part of the country many places being as wild and rugged as can be found among the rocks of northern Michigan. In the background there is a beautiful body of water which extends for several miles through ponds, rivers and lakes whose shores are bold and covered with groves. It is an ideal spot for a picnic and sight-seeing. At noon the tables were spread "on the grass" and the different parties fell to and replenished the inner man. Just as dinner was over a little shower hustled the people for a few momentfl but save a slight wetting no one was injured and the program was carried out as arranged. N. D. Wilson acted as toastmaster and after a song by Mrs. Kirk Van Winkle, he introduced Bev. Fr. Comerford who gave a short address in which he said that he thought the life of the farmer was the happiest in the world. It may not be the richest but the farmer is M all times in touch with nature and nature's God. Jas. Greene th*»n followed with a toast "Our Ancestors" in which he extolled the works of those who settled and fought for the freedom of this country and thought we should ever be on our guard that nothing should overthrow the freedom which was so dearly bought. We should look with shame on the man who would use his money or allow his ballot to be purchase at either a caucus or an election. Miss Clair Ledwidyje gave a recitation after which Frank Shields of Howell responded to "Our Country" in an eloquent addi'eas. He^ said that while our country wes among the youngest of all, yet we were in advance of nearly every other in nearly all matters. Go to any nation or country you may and you can ride in American cars drawn by American engines over American steel'. We can eat American fruits almost anywhere in the world. Bev. K. H. Crane gave a short talk in which he said that he hoped the time would come when this picnic would take in the whole township of Putnam and every farmer and son of of a farmer attend with their families. Altogether the picnic was a successand everyone expressed them- 8e Ives as well pleased with the days outing. L'at whnt yon like Eat as you like. Keep strong by taking Knill'8 Dyspepsia Tablet*.

The Clew? 1T«y In Weieh th» Animal outwltteil• lack ©f Fmvutn* HotuuL* In many.parta of Tennees^ aW-- ing wildcats is as popular a tT<** ;'s the fox chase. The wildcat ia as tricky as the fox. He has n B'IU mote dogged way of sticking to the thickest cover and the most rugged ground, and when overtaken will generally fight till lia dies. Some years ago I witnessed a wildcat perform an act of cunning qui e as remarkable an any I have heard attributed to the fox. With six other young men I was camped near the head waters of Buffalo Creek, not far from the Alabama line, when we determined to try a wildcat chase, and for that purpose went to a thickly wooded strip of country lying between the Buffalo and one of its tributary streams. In the dense woods there nre occasionally small openings connected by a few old roads which we could traverse on horseback. Only at the lower end of this strip of woods were there any caves or holes To which vha wildcats would be likely to retreat. Our chase began on a cloudy* drizzling morning, a capital time for the hunt, for in such -weather the game Is easily'started and the trail Is strong. Three of our party, including ruygelf took positions near the junction of the two streams, in the edge of a small space tha? was clear of undergrowth, but set with taller tress. The other four, taking the dogs, went some two miles up the river to start the game, which would probably pass near our position, either to take refuge in a neighboring bluff on the river bank, or as was more likely to dodge 1he hounds by winding among the rocks, and then doubling on their trail. We had waited fully two hours when we heard the distant cry of a hound, and soon afterward a full chorus of the dogs. They were coming toward our place of concealment, although as yet far off. and to judge from their cry the trail was growing hotter every moment. After a run of some twenty minutes the steady baying was succeeded by a din of short, sharp yelps, and then we knew the pack had sighted the game. We kept perfectly quiet among the bushes, our guns ready for action and when the hounds were about a quarter of a mile distant we1 heard a rustling among the bushes between us and the dogs, a succession of light, springing leaps, and then an enormous wildcat bounded Into the clearing. We should have fired but that our curiosity was roused by the eccentric movements of the creature. For an instant he looked back in the direction of the hounds, then making several active springs to the left he returned to his trail and made as many springs to the right. Then turning he jumped upon the trunk of a leaning chestnut tree, which, having been blown down, had been broken off some forty feet from the root. Th9 break was seven or eight feet from the ground, and the leaning trunk was pointing in the direction from which j the hounds wer*> ^ftr^ff 'ine cat ran quickry—to the upper end, but instead of leaping off, as we expected, he scrambled underneath the trunk, and crawled out upon a broken limb that projected two or three foet from the lower side. Here he sat, close crouched with his short ears thrown back and his great yellow eyes glaring fiercely. Pretty soon the dogs came up in full cry on the trail. Three old hounds led the pack and these were a little puzzled when they came to where the cat had turned aside. The other hounds, most of them being young, scat! fired over the open place, all the while baying lustily, but without striking the trail at #11. The leaders, having made several starts in different directions, finally struck the trail, and were forthwith joined by the others. Up the trunk they went with sonorous bay.' one right after the other. Under the end of the log on the broken limb still crouched the wildcat, motlonle&s as atone7 except as he bent his fierce yellow eyes around him and moved his short tall slowly from side to side. Only the thickness of the log was between him and the foremost hound; still he did not move, but only crouched closer to the limb. Ills pursuers paused but for a moment on the log, and then leaped to the ground in quick succession. After a little confuion in searching for the trail, they started off at full speed on the back track, and were soon some distance from the place. The cat did not move from his plac3 until the hounds were well out of sight. Then, raising his head, he cautiously looked-around, and, lindim? no enemies in sight he sprang lightly to the ground and started to mako off another way.

T h e true object of legal punishment Is to • eliminate crime by rescuing or reforming and our punishment should combine the deterrent and reformatory elements. About 26,000 of the 62.000 drunks In the State of Massachusetts belong in Boston. About half of them are discharged after a night, in the stationhouse, 7,000 are fined and -1,000 suffer imprisonment. Of the 26,000 only 1,270 g o on probation. T h u s the best form of discipline is used least and the w o r s t form is used most. Most of the judges "of the municipal court, the police captains, superintendents and chaplains of the reformatory a n d charitable institutions say t h r ' tho most promising field for reducing the evils of drunkenness lies in the direction of an extension of the probation system. They agree in emphasizi n g the value of the personal moral relationship. A n d that 4s partly an answer to the question as to whether the State is properly meeting its responsibility that g o e s with its extraordinarily s e - vere treatment of drunkards. It is necessary to impress upon every individual in the community h i s personal responsibility for the lai and its administration. At present w e are doing for drunkards not w h a t will reform but what degrades them. I refer to the 11,000 fined or sent to prison every year. T h e system of fines violates the fundamental principle of democracy, because it is no p u n i s h m e n t to the well-to-do, while it is a pun^ i s h m e n t to the poor.

A war correspondent also teHs of s e e i n g the secretary bird—"a stately bird, holding himself proudly and stalking along w i t h noble strides as he glanced about h i m for a breakfast of snakes." The secretary bird in a p - pearance presents a s t r i k i n g contrast to the vulture. Man hails it as a friend. Because of its usefulness ni destroying v e n o m o u s snakes it is protected in all parts of Africa. As many as three large snakes h a v e been taken from the s t o m a c h of one of these birds, besides lizards, tortoises and a quantity of grasshoppers. W h e n attacking a cobra the secretary bird defends itself from the venomous f a n g s by holding Its w i n g in front as a shield and strikes the snake down by vigorous blows of its feet. Frequently it kills a large snake by carrying it high in the air and then dropping U tne grptiha. It is called the secretary bird because of its fancied resemblance to a secretary, who is supposed to carry quill pens behind, his ears. WHEN.'.PASTURES FAIL. —Ocettn L a u n d r y .

The plant has a daily consumption of fifty barrels of soap and t w e n t y barrels of starch. One item is the use of 4,000 gallons of water per day, which is condensed on the ship by special apparatus.

Among many entertaining tricks R e - played by a welt known dog in Evans* ton, 111., was the ability to smoke cigarettes.

Lately the dog became mad, and hit every other do) g it met. The Supreme Court of Massachusetts has decided that a bicycle Is not a "carriage,** and that the cities and towns are not legally required to keep their roads in such a state of repair and smoothness that bicycles may pass over eaem in safety. A bicycle rider was hart near Danvers because of a depression in the road. A suit followed, and the plaintiff was awarded |S5 damages. The Supreme Court has annulled the verdict The four men placed before the country by the two great political parties are exceptionally well known. One of thorn ts new the President, another was four years ago his chief competitor Cor that office, a third was for four years Vice-President, and the fourth probably the_best-known governor of a state in the land. The country has four months in which to think them over, weigh their characters, qualities and tendencies, and make up Its mind. For years the male residents cf IleaJdefcurg, CaL, talked of certain improvements the town needed. Nothing came of the talk, and then the women took the matter up and formed a Ladies' Improvement Club. This organisation has transformed, the place, i having by- tt3 active influence and organized labors procured for the town a municipal water system, a municipal electric Hght plant, comfortable seat in the plaza, an intelligible name sys- .am for the streets, sign boards with street names at all corners and a drinking fountain costing $600. These improvements were brought about without Increasing taxes, except to? the two purposes first named. The extraordinary carelessness at < * * , parents rn leaving dangerous drug; within reach of children is in marked contrast with governmental-supervision over druggists and physicians. A few weeka ago a man bought some chloroform with which to kill a dog. and wnfle waiting to use it, wrapped the bottle in a cloth and tucked it into a work-basket. Two Ilttle~children found it, presumably fancied it a sick doll, and took it to bed with them. la the morning the child clasping the uncorked bottle was found dead; the other unconscious, past recovery. S3 bit(er an experience emphasizes the ft-rereated and oft-forgotten warning that the first essential for the family medicine-ehest is a lock and key. One of the charges which the Chinese make against the "foreign devils" is that they dig up the soil and there- -by-release evil spirits which prey upon human life. It is true that much mortality followed the founding of the English settlement at Hongkong, and deaths have been frequent since the digging in and around the new German town of Tsing-tan. A writer in the Forum offers the explanation, .which the Chinese are too superstitious to accept. The soil In both places jis disintegrated granite, and has been ('so long occupied by a dense population that, except where it is frequently aerated by agriculture, it is reeking 'with disease germs. The "evil spirits" released by the spade are bacteria. Bishop Walsham How, the hymnwriter, once induced a workingmanto attend church. Asked afterward how he liked it the parishioner replied: 4I learned one thing. I learned that Sodom and Gomorrah were places. I always thought they were husband and wife." Lawyers affirm that the cases which beget the most hatred aad vitvrperatlon and are most difficult to settle are those between near kindred.

They Are the Birthplace of Civilisation and Are Not N«eeM*rUy KTII —' The Farmer as OUhooeet as Merchant* (Copyright, 1900, by Louts Klopsch.) From S t Petersburg, the Russian capital, where he was cordially received by the emperor and empress ano> the empress dowager, Dr. Talmage sends this discourse.in which he shows the mighty good that may be done by the cities, and also the vast evil they may do by their allurements to the unsuspecting and the unguarded. The text is Zechariah 1. 17, "My cities through prosperity shall yet bo spread abroad." The city is no worse than the country. The vices of the metropolis are more evident than the vices of the rural districts because there are more to be bad if they wish to bo. The merchant is as good as the farmer. There is no more cheating in town than out of town—no worse cheating; it is only on a larger scale. The countryman sometimes prevaricates about the age of the horse that he sells, about the si-a of the bushel with which he measures the grain, about the peaches at the bottom of the basket as being' as large as those at the top, about the quarter of beef as being tender when it is tough, and to as bad an extent as the citizen, the merchant, prevaricates about calicoes or silks or hardware. And as to villages, I think that in some recocts they are worse than the cities because they copy the vices of the cities in the meanest shape, and as to cosalp its heaven is a country village. Everybody knows everybody's business better thr.n he knows it himself. The grocery store or tho blacksmith shop by day and night is the grand depot for masculine tittle tattle, and there are always in the village a half doze~». women who have their sunbounets hanging near, so that at the first it?m of derogatory news they can -fly ort and cackle it all over the town. Countrymen must not be too hard in their criticism of the citiaon, nor must the plow run too sharply against the yardstick. Cain w?.s the founder of the first city, and I suppose it took after him in morals. It takes a city a long while prisons are the shadow of those founder. Where the founders of a city aie criminal exiles, the filth, the vice, the prisons are the shadow of their founders. It will tr.ke centuries for New York to get over the good influence of the pious founders of that city— the" founders whese prayers went up in the streets whore now banks discoi'.nt and brokers bargain and companies Aeclrtie dividends ana smugglers swear •SSwiwE all the cities *>f the north and all the cities of the south, some distinguished for one thing, some tor another, one for professional ability, another for affluence, another for fashion, Igut pot one to, he spared. What advantages one advantages all. What damages Boston Common damages Washington square. Laurel Hill, Mount Auburn.Greenwood, weep over the same «rief. The statue of Benjamin Franklin in New York greeting the pronto statue of Edward Everett in Boston. All the cities a confraternity. I cannot understand how there should-go on bickerings and rivalries. I plead tor a higher style of brotherhood or sisterhood among the cities. Important. But while there are great differences In some respects I have to tell you that all cities Impress upon me and ought to Impress upon you three or four very important lessons, all of them agreeing in the same thing. It does not make any difference in what part of the country we walk the streets of a great city there is one lessen I think which ought to strike every intelligent Christian m^n, and that is that the world is a scene of toil and struggle. Here and there you find a man in the street who hr».s .his arms folded and who seems to have no particular errand, but if you will stand at the corner of the street and- watch the countenances of those who go by you will see in most instances there is an intimation that they r.re on an errand which must be executed at the earliest moment possible, so you are jostled hither and thither by business men, up-L terfuge, what double dealing, what custom house lies, and above the roar of the wheels and the crack of the auctioneer's m?ll#t ascends the ascription, "Wo worship thee, O thou almigbLV dollar." The old church that used to stand on Wall street is to this day throwing its blessing on the scene of traffic, and on all the ships folding their white wings in the harbor, in other days people gathered in cities for defense—none but the poor, who had nothing to be stolen, lived in the country, but in these times, when through civilization and Christianity it is safe to live anywhere, peopie gather •n the cities for purposes of rapid sain. • —; — Highway of Prosperity. Cities are not evil necessarily, as some have argued. They have been thp birthplace of civilization. In them popular liberty has lifted Its voice. Witness Genoa and Pisa and Venice. After the death of Alexander the Great among his papers were found extensive plans of cities, some to be built in Europe, some to be built In Asia. The cities in Europe were to be occupied by Asiatics; the cities in Asia were to be occupied, according to his plan, by Europeans, and so there should be a commingling and a fraternity and a kindness and a good will between the continents and between the cities. So there always ought to be. • The strangest thing In my comprehension is that there should be bickerings and rivalries among our American cities. New York must stop caricaturing Philadelphia, and Philadelphia must stop picking at New York, and certainly the continent la large enough for St. Paul and Minneapolis. What is good for one city is good for all the cities. Here hi the great highway of our national prosperity. On that highway of national prosperity walk the cities. A city with large forehead and great brain—that is Boston; a city .with deliberate step and calm manner—that is Philadelphia; a cKy with ita pocket full of change—that is New York; two cities going with a rush that astounds the continent—they are St. Louis and .Chicago; a city that takes ita wife and children along with it—that Is Brooklyn. Cincinnati, Louisville, Pittsburg, this ladder with a hod of bricks, out of this Jbank with a roll of bills, digging a cellar, shingling a roof, binding a book, mending a watch. Work.with ita thousand eyes and thousand feet and thousand arms, goc3 on singing its song, "Work, work, work!" while the drums of the mill beat It and the steam whistles fife it. In the carpeted Elsies of the forest', in the woods from which the eternal shadow is never lifted, on the shore of the sea over whose iron coast tosses the tanslcd foam, sprinkling the cracked cliffs with a baptism of whirlwind and tempest, is th-3 best place to study God, but In the rushing, swarming, waving street is the best place to study man. Going down to your place of business and coming home again I charge you look about;.see these signs of poverty, of wretchedness, of hunger, of sin. of bereavement, and as you go through the streets, and come back through the streets, gather up in the arms of your prayer all the sorrow, all the losses, all the sufferings, all the bereavements oi; those whom you pass and present them in prayer before an all sympathetic Go;l. In the great day of eternity there will be thousands of .persons with whom you in tnis world never exchanged . one word will, rise up and call you blessed; and there will be a thousand unger3 pointed at you in heaven, saving. "That 13 tho man, that is the women who helped W when I was hungry and sick and wandering and lost an.l heart-broken. That is the man, that is the woman;" and the blessing will come down upon you as.Christ, shnll say: "I was hungry and ye feu me, I was naked and ye clothed mo. I wns sick cr.d in prison and ye visited mo; inasmuch as ye did it to these poor waifs of the streets ye did it t:nto mo." Wicked Kxr:u«iv*nes». •Asain, in r.U cities I am impressed with the fact that all classes and conditions cf society must commingle. Wc sometimes cultivate a wicked exclusivencss. Intellect despises ignorance. Refinement will have nothing to do with booris'mess. Gloves hate the sunburned hand, and the high forehead despises the flat head, aad the trim hedgorow will have nothing to do with the wild copsewood, and Athens hates Nazareth. This ought not so to be. I lik* the democratic principle of the gospel of Jesus Christ which recognizes the fact that we stand before God on one ?nd the same platform. Do net take on any airs. Whatever position you have gained In society, you are nothing but a man. born of the same parent, regenerated by the same 8pirit,cleansed in the same blood, to He down in the same dust, to get up In the same resurrection. It is high time that we all acknowledged not only the fatherhood of God, but the brotherhood of man. Again, in all cities I am impressed with the fact that it is a very hard thing for a man to keep his heart right and to get to heaven. Infinite temptations spring upon us from places of public concourse. Amid so much affluence, how much temptation to covetousness and to be discontented with our humble lot! Amid so many opportunities for overreaching, what temptation to extortion! Amid so much display, what temptation to vanity! Amid so many saloons of strong drink, what allurement to dissipation! In the maelstroms and hall gates of the street, how many make quick and eternal shipwreck!

Oh, how many hava cone down under the pressure, leaving not so much aa a patch of canvas to tell when they perished! They never had any'peace. Their dishonesties kept tolling ia their^ears. If I had- an ax and could split open the beams of that flne house perhaps I would find in the very heart of it a skeleton. In his very best wine there is a smack nf poor man's sweat. Oh, is it strange XhaTwhen a man has devoured widow's houses he is disturbed with indigestion!* AH the forces of nature are against him. The floods are ready to drown him, and the earthquake to swallow him, and the fires to consume him, and the lightning to smite him. Aye, the angels of God are on the street, and In the day when the crowns of heaven are distributed some of the brightest of them will be given to those men who were faithful to Qod and faithful to the souls of others amid the marts of business, proving themselves the heroes of the street Highty were their temptations, mighty was their deliverance, and mighty shall be their triumph. Hoilowneu of Society. Again, in all these cities I rtm impressed with the fact that life is full of pretension and sham. What subtwo facedness! Do all people who wish you good morning really hoj>e for you a happy day? Do all the people who shake hands love each other? Are all those anxious about your health who inquire concerning it? Do all want to see you who ask you to call? Does all the world know half as much as it pretends to know? Is there not many a wretched mock of goods with a brilliant store window? Passing up and down the streets to your business and your work, are you not impressed wifrh the fact that society Is hollow and that there are subterfuges and pretensions? Oh, how many there are who swagger and strut and how few, people who are natural and walk? While fops simper and fools snicker and simpletons giggle, how few people are natural and laugh! I say these things not to create in you incredulity or misanthrophy, nor do I forget there arv thousands of people a great deal bet' ter than they seem, but I do not think any man is prepared for the conflict of this life until he knows this particular peril. Ehud comes pretending to pay his tax to King Eglon and, while he statfds in front of the king, stabs him through with a dagger until the h?'t went in after the blade. Judas Iscariot kissed Christ. * * <• Dljhontftty "Sever Prosper*. I want to tell you that the church of God is not a shop for receiving stolen goo tin find—that if yon have taken anything from your fellows yoj had better return it to the men to whom it belongs. In a drug store in__ Philadelphia a young man was told that he must sell blacking on/the Lord's day. He said to the head man of the firm: -'I can't possibly do that I am willins to sell medicines on the Lord's day, for I think that is right and necessary, but I can't sell this patent blacking."R He was discharge! from the place. A Christian man hearing of it took him into his employ, and he went on from one success to ^nolhfix_unliI-Jie was known all over the l?nd for his faith in God and hi? good works as for his worldly success, When a man has sacrificed any temporal, financial good for the sakejO. his spiritual interests the Lord is on his side, and one with God is a majority. I stood one day at Niagrara Pall? and I saw what you may have seen there—six rainbows bending over that tremendous plunge. 1 never saw anything like it before or since. Six beautiful rainbows arching that great cataract! And so over the rapids and angry precipices of sin, where so man? have been dashed down, God 'a beautiful admonitions hover, a warning arching each peril—six of them, 50 of them, 1,000 of them. Beware, beware, beware! Young men, while you have tin* to reflect upon theae__thingJt and before the duties of the office and the store and the shop come upon you again, look over this whole subject, and after the day has passed and you hear in the nightfall the voices and footsteps of the city dying from your ear, and it gets so silent that you can hear distinctly your watch under your pillow, eyea and look out upon the darkness and see two pillars of light, one horilontal, the other perpendicular, but changing their direction until they come- together, and your enraptured vision beholds it—the cross.

There is much excitement among 'the miners in the eastern part of San Diego county, California, and the residents of Yuma, over the discovery o* what is believed to be a bed of oil in the pot-holes district of the Colorado river, about fifteen miles north of Yuma.

(Special Letter.) Miss Alice Barter of Hew York has the distinction of being the only woman lawyer In America who makes a ape* dalty of criminal practice. There aremany other successful woman lawyer*, but thair practice is given to other branches of the legal profession. Miss Serber selected criminal practice aa her special field of endeavor •because she believes that H an accused woman has one of her own sex to depend on she will natucally talk more frankly than she would with a manT Then Miss Serber finds that civil practice 1B slow and does not require the same quickness and alertness of thought on short notice as does criminal procedure* She has already been successful in many important cases and judges and law* yers have paid tribute to her thorough legal training, sound knowledge of the law and genuine oratorical ability. The career of this woman advocate has been remarkable, and the difficulties that she had to overcome to attain her present position were great- MISS ALICE SERBER. Ten years ago she came to New York City from Russia, without money, friends, influence or any knowledge of the English language. She saw the opportunities that the new world held out to enterprising and determined women and resolved to take advantage of them. She had to work during the daytime; to support herself, but studied (diligently evenings. Often when morning broke she would be found bending .over her books. Three years after she came to this country she entered the !New York University Law school and -in 1896 received the degree of LL. B, 'One year later she was admitted to the bar and was the first woman to be admitted to practice in the United States .District court. To K e e p Boys Off t h e Street*. Stockholm, Sweden, has found a way to keep its pu%Hc-8choc^Hjoys~-off^the~ streets after st-hool hours. A year ago school principals were instructed to' encourage the gathering of pupils in the public parks after school hours for the purpose of playing outdoor games, and several of the larger boys in each school were officially selected to lead the games. The innovation proved popular and many boys who formerly were in the habit of spending their late afternoons smoking cigarets and learning bad habits on the street corners may now be seen each evening playing baseball, football, and other athletic games. The board of education of Stockholm thinks so well of the experiment that it has recently appointed three men teachers to the positions of superintendents of outdoor exercise. It will hereafter be their duty to get together all pupils who are willing at the close of school and lead them to the parks, where, under the auspices of the board, games will be provided daily during the season from 4 to 8 p. m*. - Professor Charles Eliot Norton, RusTtln:s literary executor, says that Rusktn left hia manuscripts and notes, in perfect order, as if he expected death.

Bryan "was officially notified of bis nomination for the presidency before several, thousand people at Newby oval today. Atllai E. Stevenson was also notified of bis nomtnatloa for the office pTtteer president. In reply to the notification Mr. Bryan said in part: Mr. Bryan'* Speech. Mr. Chairman and Members of the Notification Committee: 1 shall, a t an early day, and in u more- formal manner, accept the nomination which you tender, and I shall at that time otscusa the varloub questions covered by the Democratic platform. It may not be out of place, however, to submit.u, few observations at JhiB tlrao upon the general character of the contest before us, and upon the question which 1» declared to be of paramount importance In this campaign. . "When 1 say that the contest of 1900 is a contest between democracy on the one hand and plutocracy on the other, I do not mean 10 aay that "all our opponents have deliberately chosen to give to organized wealth a predominating Influence in the affairs of tho government, but 1 do assert that on the important issues of the day the Republican party is dominat-* cd by those influence* which constantly tend to elevate pecuniary considerations and ignore.human rights. In 1*50 Lincoln said that the Republican party believed In the raan and the dollar, but that in cuse of conflict it believed in the man before the dollar. This is the proper relation which should exist between the two. Man, the handiwork of God, comes i l m money, the handiwork of man, 's of inferior importance. Man is the master; money the servant, but upon all important questions today republican legislation tends to make money the master and man the servant. The maxim of Jefferson", "equal rights to all and special privileges to none," and the doctrine of Lincoln that this should bo a government "of the people,.by the people and for the people," are being disregarded and the instrumentalities of government are being used to advance the interests of those who ure in a, position to secure favors from the government. The Democratic party is not making war upon the honest acquisition of wealth; it has no desire to discourage industry, economy and thrift. On the contrary, it gives to every citizen the greatest possible stimulus to honest toil, when it promises him protection in the enjoyment of the proceeds of his labor. Property rigbtB are most secure when human rights are respected. Democracy strives for a civilization In which every member of society will share according to his merits.

It is no injustice to him to prevent his doing injustice to another. To him who would, either through class legislation or in the absence of necessary legislation, trespass upon the rights of another, the Democratic party says "Thou shalt not."

But the resolution waa defeated by the vote of the Republican Vice- President, and from that time to this a Kepublican Congress has refused to take any action whatever in the matter. When hostilities broke out at Manila Republican speakers and Kepublican editors at once sought to lay the blame upon those whc~nad delayed the ratification of the treaty, and. during: the progress of the war, ihQ same Republicans have accused the opponents of Imperialism of giving encouragement to the Filipinos. I n i a u a cowardly evasion of responsibility. if it is right for the United States to hold the Pnlhpplno islands permanently and Imitate Kuropcan empires in the government of colonies, the Republican party oi.ght to state its position and defend it. but it must expect tfco subject races to r.rotest against such a policy and to resist to the extent of their ability. The Filipinos do not need any encouragement l'roin Americans now living. Our whole history has been an encouragement1, not only to the Flhpinos. but to all who are denied a voice in their own government. Jf the Republicans are prepared to censure all who have used language calculated to make the Filipinos hate foreign domination, let them condemn the speech of Patrick Henry. When he uttered that passionate appea.1, "Civo me liberty or give me dcatn." lie expressed a sentiment which still echoes in tha hearts of men. Let them censure Jefferson; of all the statesmen of history, no»o have used words so oilensivo to those who would feold their fellows in political bondage. Lot them censure Washington, who declatt d that the colonists must choose between liberty and slavery. Or, if the statute _of limitations has run against "the sins of J i e n r y and Jefferson and Washington, lot them censure Lincoln, whoso Gettysburg speech will ho quoted in defense of popular government when the present advocates of force and conquest are forgotten. • • " . Those who would have this nation enter upon a career of empire must consider not only the effect of imperialism on tho Filipinos, but they must also calculate its effect upon our own nation. We cannot repudiate the principle of self-government in the Philippines without weakening that principle here. The Uoer War. Even now we art beginning to see the paralyzing influence of imperialism. Heretofore, this nation has been prompt to express its sympathy with those who were lighting for civil llbprty. While our sphere of activity has been limited to the Western Hemisphere, our sympathies havo not been bounded by the seas. We have felt it due to ourselves and to the world, a s well as to those who were struggling for the right to govern themselves, to proclaim tho Interest which our people have, from the date of their own independence, felt In every contest between human rights and arbitrary power. Three-quarters of a cenrtry ago, when our nation was small, the struggles of (Jreeee aroused our people, and Webbier and Clay gave eloquent expression to the universal desire for Grecian independence.

It Is Stature's Own BeaMetf* , First used by the Mississippi river Steamboat men In the "early forties," who drank their "Bonne Tedd" from the hands of tho colored "aunties." They steeped the leaves in hot water, and the verdict of these steamboat men was that it "did the business." In 1841, James and Constance Maguire sec0red some of these miraculous leaves, and. upon investigation, discovered that they are identical with tho Sesam. Ind. fBenne-Leaves), and a s the same indicates, native of India, containing a mucilaginous substance of soothing and healing properties. Mature here furnished a remedy for diseases such as Colic, Cholera Morbus. Diarrhoea, Dysentery and kindred ailments. After experimenting-, the Messrs. Maguire succeeded In , chemically combining the use- of the/ Benne-leaves with other vegetable sub- L stances, and so furniyihed a rexfcedy that has saved thousands of lives. Prepared by T H E J.

Cubans, but now when a war is in progress in South Africa, which must result in the extension of the monarchlal idea Criticising the Administration. For a / l i m e Republican leaders were inclined to deny to opponents the right to criticise the Philippine policy of the administration, but upon investigation they found that both Lincoln and Clay asserted and exercised the right to criticise a President during the progress of the Mexican war. Instead of meeting the issue boldly and submitting a clear and positive plan for dealing with the Philippine question, the Republican convention adopted a platform, the larger part of which was devoted to boasting and self congratulation. In attempting to press economic questions upon the country to the exclusion of those which involve the very structure of our government, the Republican leaders give new evidence of their abandon- Trent of the earlier ideals of the party and of their complete Hubserviency to pecur'. ary considerations. I was among, the number of those who believed it better to ratify the treaty and end the war, release the volunteers, remove tho excuse for war expenditures, and then give to the Filipinos' the independence which ra!i;ht be forced from Spain by a new treaty. In view of the criticism which m y a c - tion aroused In some Quarters I take this occasion to restate the reasons given at that time. I thought It safer to trust the American people to give independence to t h e Filipinos than to trust the accomplishrrent of that purpose to diplomacy with *n unfriendly nation. Lincoln embodied a n argument in the question, when . he asked. "Can aliens make treaties easier than friends can make laws?" I believe that we are now In a better position to wage a successful contest against imperialism than w e would have been had the treaty been rajecto^, With .the treaty rat-, ittetr. a clean cut lasrne is presented between a government by consent and a government by force, und imperialists must bear the responsibility for all that happens until the question Is settled. If tho treaty had been rejected, the opponents •of Imperialism would have been held r e - sponsible for any international complications which mifcbt*h*v» arisen before the ratification of another treaty B u t whatdare not Boers. say a word in behalf of the giving their support to doctrines antag cnlstic tttftthe former teachings of their own p a K .

That partisanship has already blinded many to present dangers is certain; how large u portion of the Republican party can be drawn over to the new policies remains to be seen. Sympathy for the Koers does not arise from any unfriendliness toward <Kngland; The American |>eople are not unfriendly toward tho people of any nation. This sympathy Is due to the fact that, as stated In our platform, we believe In the principle of self-government and reject, as did our forefathers, the claims of monarchy. It this nation surrenders its belief in the universal application of the principles set forth in the Declaration of Independence. It will lose the prestige and .r.fluence which it has enjoyed among the nations as an exponent of popular govtinment. The F l a s In the Philippines. Our opponents, conscious of the weakness of their cause, seek to confuse impel ialism with expansion, a/id have even tiared to claim Jefferson as a supporter of their policy. Jefferson spoke so freely and used language with such precision that no one er.n be ignorant of his views. On one occasion he declared: "If there be one principle more deeply rooted than any other in the mind of every American, it is that we should have nothing to do ;vith conquest." And again he said: "Conquest is not in our'principles; it is inconsistent with our government." A colonial policy means that we shall send to the Philippines ;i few traders, a tew task masters and a few officeholders, and an army large enough to support the authority of a small fraction of the people while they rule the natives. • • • There Is an easy, honest, honorable solution of the Philippine question. It is set forth in the Democratic platform and it is submitted with conscience to the American people. This plan I unreservedly irdorse. Jf elected, 1 shall convene Congress in extraordinary session as soon as I urn inaugurated and recommend an immediate declaration of the nation's puriHise, lirst. to establish a stable form o( government In the Philippine Islands, Just as w e are now establishing a stable form of government in the island of Cuba; second. «0 give independence to the Filipino* Just as we have promised to give independence to the Cubans; third, to prut3ct the Filipinos from outside inter 1 ere nee while they work out their destiny. Just a s we have protected the republics of Central and South America, and are, by the Monroe doctrine, pledged to protect Cuba. An European protectorate often results in the exploitation of the ward by the guardian. An American protectorate gives to the nation protected the advantages of our strength, without making it the victim of our greed. For three-quarters of a century the Monroe doctrine has been a shield to neighboring republics and yet It has Imposed ne pecuniary burden upon us. After the Filipinos had nided us in the war against Spain, we could not honorably turn them over to their former masters: we could not leave them to be the victims of the ambttkHtM designs of the European nations, and since w e do not desire to make thtai a Dart of vs. « r to hoM them aa KUbtect*. w# propose that the only alternative, namely, to give them Independence and guard t h o u against molestation from without. __> .

To© Mu«h Ata0y I>«»M|iide«« •* Homo From Orowlng lloyr»n<l VIM* It t« an open question with many thoughtful people whether there 1B not a screw looae in the system which demands and exacts so. much study at home from growing hoys and girls. At precisely the period when the physical life is most tmperteu* in itaclaima, when/the lad is shooting up like a weed, when the girl is all legs and arms, and both are in the greatest need of play, of rest, of sleep, of exercise, they must spend five or six hours of daylight in school, brain and nerves under high pressure, stimulated to Intellectual activity at every point. It is little wontfer if they are correspondingly listless^nd languid when the hours of recitation are over, and not altogether ready to' give any portion of the afternoon to the preparation of the next day's studies. I fear the expectant attitude of American parents in general reinforces that school boards and trustees, since few fathers and mothers have patience with a dull child, or sufficient common sense not to be cruelly mortified if their sons and daughters do not make rapid progress. The doctor interferes now and then, lays an arresting hand on the home work, cuts short the hours of school attendance, or advises a cessation of school for a while, but the doctor is obeyed under protest. Most of us would be deeply humiliated if our children were not regularly promoted every half year, or if our neighbor's:' children took prizes, and not ours. In the mean time, it we sit down to render what assistance in the evening's labor may be within our power, we find our cheeks mantling with the blush of shame. We still can spell, but it is extremely doubtful whether we can pronounce, both Latin and English having suffered a change sinro our day. Our attention is fcestowrl elsewhere—on bread-winning, if we are fathers; on sewing, mending, visiting and housekeeping, if we are mothers. Yet we expiate many a sin, since here is an obligation which we cannot shirk. The probable reason for the situa. tion is that we attempt too much in primary, grammar and preparatory schools. In the first fourteen years of life the effort should be to u-ain a child'so that he or she may know how to pay close attention, how to learn. A very few subjects thoroughly mastered are of more-value ttew many mere- ' 8TBQNQ4AN0 ROl^ErV *• i$ow Qaifc 1»AgWllliMle Which te WropH «• W*11*J Tract U<1. Few things are more essential upon the farm than a good land roller, Nevertheless, many object to the use of tho roller because it frequently tears up , the ground for a considerable space when.it is turned around, or else taa weight of the tongue and frame bear to heavily upon the necks of the horses as to make them sore. Again, soma considerable cost and care of the implement in excess of the net returns. These objections can he avoided. Select a good oak or maple log 20 or 26 inches through (if more the bet-. ter), aa nearly cylindrical as possible. , Having peeled off the baric, sink it under water and leave I t _theje__several weeks, at the end of which remove aTST""" let it dry under cover. Before it gets too hard saw it up into the required lengths for the rollers; that is, have each of the three sections about two feet in length. Then, having struck a centre and worked them to a uniform size, so all will turn alike, bore the holes for the journal. Perhaps the beet way to do this is to have a pumpmaker (provided there be one in your locality) bore with his auger an inchand- three-quartera hole through the entire pieces. When the rollers are thoroughly seasoned, "mount" them, as shqwn in the accompanying illustration, on a rod of iron or steel an inch and a half in diameter, so it will work as a loose spindle. Aboveithe rollers erect the frame, ly glanced at and superficially discerned.— Harper's Bazar. . / . Tito » w Motoi num.

Simple WpririlnR flofftio. Wedding gowns are most elegant when simple in style, although they may be of the richest possible material— indeed. That is considered desirable even for a young bride—where It can be afforded. Fortunately dead white Is no longer inflexibly prescribed. Cream, ivory and pearl white are equally well worn by brides, so in is possible to s'uit the individual complexion. Wedding gowns are notoriously unbecoming, and every resourse for mitigating the unfavorable effect la valuable. «J, electric trad: tore the hose en the fire engine, spouting m<rU<.

To make the whole strong and rigid, connect the frame to the iron spindle with brace irons made of old wagon tire— work which any good blacksmith can do. Use eight braces, two at each end and two between each of the rollers in the-centrei—^rmly-welded to the spindle in such a manner as to keen the rollers in their respective places and yet allow them to turn readily. Attach an uld mowing-machine seat to the frame, as it helps to counterbalance the weight of the tongue and so make it work easier* on the necks of the horses. Having the roller in three sections makes it easier to turn around than if made solid or even in Xv,-o pieces. This is a cheap, simple, easi 1 y made and_yerjLJlLa£tig-ai land roller."

The weekly crop bulletin issued on the 14 th says that in the upper peninsula all vegetation nas made good progress; spring wheat and oats are rippenkig fast and their harvest has begun. In the lower peninsula the weather has been favorable for the oat harvest, erhich has made rapid progress and most of the crop is now fully se- • «»ttTrt, The hot dry weather in the southern counties has been hard on corn, beans, buckwheat, potatoes and pastures; corn has rolled considerably, pastures have dried up very fast, and beans show a deteriorated condition, while potato vines have wilted. Generally, however, corn and potatoes remain in a promising coudition and sugar beets are so far advanced that i h e y are almost beyond much damage except from extraordinary conditions. A careful estimate from all the principal corn counties indicates that corn will h e safe from frost about September 11 In the southern and central counties. Plowing for fall seeding has been generally in progress in all parts of the lower peninsula; in the southern counties it is well advanced and nearing completion. Boo Blver Blocked. Another blockade occurred in the "United States ship canal opposite Sailors' Encampment, Soo river, on the 14th, and coming during the hight of the season, it is likely to prove as disastrous, if not more so, than the delay •caused by the sinking of the Douglass Houghton at the same place last fall. •The blockade this time is caused by -the schooner Maida, of the Minnesota •Steamship Co. The Maida was bound •down in tow of the steamer Matoa, both ore laden.

This government will exact assurances of a satisfactory character that such a state of affairs as now exists In China shall not again occur. The nature of these assurances will be determined later. A cablegram to Vienna from Hong Kong announces the capture of Pekin, but the Austrian government, like, ether European powers, is still without confirmation of this report An official telegram dated Taku, August 14, has been received at Rome., which asserts that the attack on Pekin began on t h e 13th, that Sir Claude MacDonald, the British minister, had opened communication with the relieving force, and that the allies have established their headquarters at Tung Chow. Chinese officials in Shanghai are reported as admitting that the allies inflicted a heavy defeat on the Chinese imperial troops around Tung Chow, on the 12th, and then marched direct on Pekin. This, if true, carries the Japanese official advices announcing the capture of Tung Chow one step further. Now that tbo primary object for which the allied armies marched upon Pekin, viz., the rescue of the besieged legationers,, has been accomplished, the drift of discussion in official and diplomatic circles reverts to t h e n e x t step to be talvm. Necessarily many of the predictions as to what this will be are purely conjectural, as it is realized that complete and definite information regarding the conditions of affairs in Pekin must be awaited before any positive action can be taken by the governments whose interests have suttered as a result of the Chinese troubles, y h e allied a r mW ha.™ ^apt^rort ami entered Pekin in the face of obstinate resistance and the members of the foreign legations are safe. Official confirmation of the fall of the Chinese capital came to the United States government oh the night of the 17th in the shape of two cablegrams, one from Admiral Remey and the other from Consul Fowler at Che Foo. "Pekin was relieved on the n i g h t of the 15th." This message was received on the night of the 17th at the imperial customs office in London from the iaommissionor of customs in-€herFoo.~ I t is the only official message that has reached England in confirmation of the earlier reports.

Alan looked at her and her pretty aUmnens of which he had been so proud, at the beautiful, refined face, wt the ayea through which her beautiful son! seemed to shine, and when he looked at it and realised what he was abont to lose a *reat numbness came over aim. He could not speak, he eoold scarcely think. It seemed as if a topi chasm yawned before then, which they were both to be flung. And so this awful evening went its way. They hardly spoke. They sat hand in hand in the darkness. Life seemed a blank. They had come to a standstill. It was as if death had caught them with their young blood surging in their pulses. ' At last Alan roused himself. "I must go to your father, my darlings" he said. "Joyce, you will let me do everything for you? Darling, you are my wife, you know, although, four years ago I belonged to another woman. I will go away from you, and never see you again whilst Veronica lives; but you will live in this house, and let me work for you. I must have something in my life, Joyce. Let me think that there is still something I can do for you!" Joyce was quiet; then she said: "There's Veronica's child, Alan. You should try and be a father to it. Poor little thing, it would comfort you." "If Veronica were dead," said Alan, "I could care for it and cheriBh it, and love it; but neither the child will want for anything nor its mother. But I could not take it away from Veronica, and I do not want to come into contact with her. I do not hate her, peor girl; but I might get to hate her when I thought of you, Joyce—my Joyce, and yet not mine." He rose slowly and painfully. A great terror came over Joyce. "You will see me again, Alan? This is not good-by. I could not bear it—oh, 1 could not! Tell me you will come to me again and kiss me good-by! Oh, I am your wife, Alan!" He put his arms round her. She was half fainting, and her white lips could hardly articulate the words. "I will come again," he said; "but tonight I must see your father. Joyce, if you are not brave it will kill me. You must help me, my own sweet wife. We must pray God to give us strength. It ic the only way. I will bring your father to you, and then we will try and say good-by. I will write to you tonight; but after that there must be no more letters, sweetheart. If I continue to write to you I shall go mad. Most probably I shall go abroad again when I have got your, life into order. Darling. I scarcely think of thn rnihand the publicity—that cannot hurt ua. Vcu have many friends who" love you, and who will be good to you, for you are the sweetest woman God ever made. I was right to be afraid of my great happiness. Good-by, darling." And Alan went. CHAPTER VIII. Joyce gave way altogether after her final interview with Alan. She had a long litness, which almost terminated fatally; but she was young. andLhatL always been strong. In the end her youth triumphed, although she made no efforts to get better. Life was terribly hard. She loved Alan with every fibre of her being. She bad known the joy of being his wife, and now he was an outcast from home, miserable, wretched, dragging on a joyless existence; and she had not even the privilege of consoling htm. She knew him to be as unhappy as she was, and she wss suffering all the Test of their lives, and Joyce had to learn patience from that hardest of taskmasters—sorrow. Her father took her abroad. Of course her story was a nine days' talk; but she was much beloved, and was generally pitied and condoled with. Alan and she had been so happy, and had borne themselves so well and modestly, that there was no one wno <tid not feel for the young couple whose happiness had been so suddenly destroyed. But poor Veronica, she went back to her lodgings, .that fight broken-heart* cd. It was not only that she had lost the hope of life with Alan, but she conM see that she had given him his death-blow.. And he loved another woman! She was intensely human, was poor Veronica,.mad the knowledge 'that another woman had all hw heart hurt her immeasurably. He old not lore her! He bad never loved her! Why, hto voice .was different when he talked of his present wife! But she had the boy.. It was some- .hmg that she eetild press his curly head against her aching heart, and drop nor tears upon . i t Poor little soul! The only bitter resentment she had felt against Alan was that be bad tailed to notice the boy. Bat still she wmmmmmmm*mmmmmimm+mmm had bimr-he .was her own. She waited patiently until she should hear from Alan. She had waited so long that a little more or leas waiting did not matter. And he had said he would write—he was certainly a man to. be trusted. And on the third day a letter came. Veronica could not guess what it had cost Alan to write it. He did not want harsh and cruet tDTrards^th^ af^ fectionate creature, whose only fault had been that she had not been drowned in the shipwreck, and yet he felt it difficult to be kind to her who had spoilt his life. He wrote that henceforth she and the boy would be his care, that he wished to allow her and her boy enough to live in comfort; but that he could not bring himself to come and see her. He told her that he was parted from Joyce, who was now havering between life and death, and that he would not burden her with 'the sight of his unhapplness. He would always be glad if she wrote to him in any time of trouble or difficulty, to give his advice and help; but that most probably he should leave England. He told her that if she followed his advice she would remain in England, which was a safe place for her to live in. Besides, he would rather that the boy was brought up as an Englishman. There was a lot of tiresome law business to be gone through. His marriage with Joyce hnd to be annulled, and the old general would not allow him to provide at all for his daughter. They were going to winter in Birrritz. Joyce felt keenly the difficulties of her position, but most of all she felt the separation from Alan. Alan was seated in his office one day .when he heard a heavy step on the stair. It was his old enemy Hutchinson. He was half drunk, but sober enough to want to pick a quarrel. His schemes had been baffled by the idiotic straightforwardness of a man who preferred honor to love. Naturally enough Hutchinson could impose no hush-money on a man who would consent to hush up nothing, but who put away the woman who was dearer to him than life rather than fail in doing what was right. But Hutchinson, baffled at every Jtura, still had his revenge. He meant in the end to be even with Alan, let it cost him what it might. He came today to gloat over his enemy's misery. Some one had toid him that Alan's hair had turned grey, and he wanted to see for himself. But Alan was just in a fit mood. He remembered as soon as he saw tno man that he might have saved Joyce the crowning misery of marriage with oae^fjQm_whom she had been obliged to be separated, that be had deliberately done his best to ruin her, and Alan's wrath burned hot within him. He sprang up from his desk as soon as he ::aw Hutchinson, and caught hold of him. He gave him a little shake, and, looking him straight in the fac*e, said: "'You dog! why did you not tell me that Veronica was alive when I told you I was about to marry another woman? Why did you let me do an innocent girl an injury?" Hutchinson looked at him. He was going to prevaricate, but his hairea was too much for hhn. "Because 1 hated you!" he cried. "Yes, and I hate you now! I shall never be content till I see you dead at my ieet, you villain, who deprived me of everything I possessed! And yon dream that I should forego my revenge! Yon fool, to forget that you had me to deal with!" "Yes," said Alan slowly, "I forgot that I was dealing with a devil, and not a man. A man might have had pity." "Pity" Hutchinson sneered. "Pity towards a man who ruined me? Not I! But I have not done with you yet, you may be very sure of that!** Alan sprang at him. "You get out of my office this moment," he exclaimed, "or I will throw you downstairs." He looked so fierce that Hutchinson went at once. Six months had elapsed since he had said good-by to Joyce—six months of such utter hopelessness that Alan resolved that he would leave England. The firm of Dempster was going to begin operations in Australia. Anything, thought Alan, would be better than this life^-He would work hard and live hard. He settled five hundred a year on Veronica and the boy, and made a will leaving all else he had to Joyce. She would not let him do anything, else for hor whilst he was alive, but she could not refuse a benefit by his death. He knew that the general only bad his pension. He had learned that . he had brought his daughter back to'London. It was too much to be near Joyce and yet not tee her. Every time he went oat he was letting his eyes stray everywhere, hoping, fearing that he -might see the SS m T " one woman in the world lor him.' Bat I chance never favored him, and his arrangements were, made to go away. After much deliberation he resolved to write to both women who loved him* He wrote to Veronica a letter which, poor soui, hurt her* although he had no intention of being otherwise than kind: Pear, Veronica: I am going to Australia. I do not think I shall see you again, but I have- arranged everything for yon with Truscott, the lawyer. You will* have five hundred a year whether I live or die. I hope you will bring the boy up well. ALAN MACKENZIE. Poor Veronica cried bitterly when she received this letter. It seemed to her that Alan thought he had finished" all his obligations to her by paying hor five hundred a year, and Veronica, who was yearning for a little love, and who had made a pilgrimage across the dark waters to a land where there was but little sun, for love's sweet sake! Alan had a fight over his letter to Joyce. He had said he would not write to her; but surely he could not leave the country without a word of farewell to the sweet woman whom he bad wooed and vwon openly, who for six perfect weeks had been his wife, and whom he loved more than anything on earth.

AN E A R L / ^ D A U G H T E R . l a Spits of- Proad Parental Dbtpleaatire She Succeed*. *The daughter of an English earl, after a neglected childhood passed among servants, was brought out in society. She was shy and sensitive, and took no interest in fashionable life. Her conduct excited so much displeasure that she became most unhappy and despondent. Neglected and despised at home, she ran away to London, and refused to return to her father's house: As her father cut her off without a shilling she had to support herself, and live on starvation wages. She began with lace-making and sewing, and had a room in a tenement house. She was a fearless rider, and at one time made a living by breaking unruly horses in Scotland. A friend, after selling some of the daughter's lace to the mother, contrived to secured the payment of a small allowance from the father. With this money she was able to perfect her education in music, and to carry off pnz3s at a college oa the continent About this time she was impressed with stories vhich she heard of the sufferings of native women in India and the far East She dropped her music, and for six years devoted herself to the study of medicine and surgery. She won a medical degree in England,ma8tered the French language in order to obtain a higher degree in Brussels, took a hospital and nursing course in London, and h?d special practice in the slums of, Dublin. Meanwhile she was receiving a pittance from her father barely large enough to enable her to keen soul and body together. She was wholly estranged from her family, who were ashamed of the poor relation. Finally she received the reward for her many years of solitary study and persistent effort. An appointment as court physician in Korea was offered to her, and she accepted it as an opening for what she considered her mission,in the world—work among native women in the far East. Her father then agreed to give her a thousand dollars a year. This is not the ordinary romance of the peerage. It is a true story, and shows what a woman of real grit can do, when she has courage, patience and a noble ambition. The shy girl with a plain face has made her way in the world, although she was a failure in the drawing room as the earls daughter.— Youths' Companion. Mak»r Believe Rivals. Three large millinery shops in this city, each run under a different firm name, are owned by one man, and his example Is being followed by otner men interested in the same business. It Is a mystery to the outsider why a man should assume different names for his different stores. In other kinds of business, if a man is successful, his name is a trade-mark. Our successful man milliner began business under his own name on a side street a^few years ago. He succeeded, and he has since invested his surplus, every two or three years, in establishing a new millinery shop In a fashionable neighborhood. Not one of these new shops bears this man's name. Possibly one object for such a variety of names is to lead the buyer who goes from shop to uhop to think that she is learning the prices of rivals.— New York Son. Oliver Gramwairs Tawta-Ftok.

When she had first put the thing on she had realized it was too-small, but the milliner, had of course, told her it was because she waa suffering from swelled head or that she wore her hair the wrong way, or anything but that there could be something the matter with the hat The woman insisted on expansion, however, so the hat, according to the milliner, was duly expanded.

There may or m&f not have been some spite about it, but every vestige of beauty and smoothness had been removed, while the sole attempt toward rectifying the real wrong was a kind of bay window in black velvet built out under the brim over the face, and adding to both the weight and the warmth of the article. Being notoriously amiable in disposition the woman viewed the wreck of her once pretty but never comfortable hat philosophically. She even put it on and wore it. She returned home, every nerve in her head throbbing and temper to match. It only needed a glance at the glass to remind her how utterly without style and unbecoming the thing was. The woman tok that hat and tore it up— thoroughly, completely. She broke a fingernail doing it, but no puppy with his teeth could have accomplished more in so .short a space of time, men she had a good cry, felt better, went downtown, and ordered another hat. at another milliner's. The next day she gathered together every scattereo. thread of the one-time hat, and carefully tissue-papering and boxing them, rang for a messenger boy and sent the whole off to the milliner. "Yes, it's paid," she said, in recounting the experience to another woman. "Of course, I can't afford to go off on such an expensive tear as that very often but once in a while it does you a lot of good." The remarkable thing was that the other woman, who is all that is lamb-like, was not a bit shocked, as you might have expected.

Pe-ru-na is good for everyone, but particularly for women. The various weaknesses which afflict their delicate organism spring from inflammation or catarrh of the mucous lining,and Pe-ru-na is a specific for catarrh in any organ of the body. Any congestion of a mucous membrane simply means catarrh of the organ affected. This is why Pe-ru-na cures all sorts of troubles where other remedies fall.

Hales is probably aware that t h e so-called Veneiian red is, properly speaking, prepared from sulphate . o ' iron. It is a chemical treatment wit'ii sulphuric acid, but is nevertheless an iron base. As is well known,v the oldtime tonic, Douglass" mixture, wns made _by dissolving sulphate of iron (copperas) in Water and addin% a pmail quantity of sulphuric acid thereto. This harsh compound was again diluted by being put in drinking wa.ter. While modern ideas have relegated Douglass' mixture to the rear, still the fact remain? that iron tinctures are beneficial in some cases. The oxide or peroxide (meaning high in oxygen) of iron is better than the sulphate for this purpose. Mr. Hales is correct in that statement. The use of okide of iron is unqnesimp preparing their food. In cold weather they show t h e effect of warm feeding' immediately. It stands to reason th%t they feel hetter when they h a w warm food to take into their stomachs just as much as a man.

He takes very little medicine for the annual attacks when his epidermis is shed. Physicians have tried to prevent this exfoliation, but they have been unsucessful, and Mr. Buskirk, notwithstanding the fact that the operation is disagreeable and debilitating, has decided that he will not make any more attempts to prevent it by means of medicine. The operation requires several days, and for the last five years has begun exactly on June 27.

He won a gold medal and prise of $200 at Eagle Pass when he wag about 16 yfts*s PW> by sticking to the back of a famous broncho Diablo. This celebrated horse had thrown the best riders in Old Mexico and many of the most fearless Texas cowboys. Lewis stayed on his back for more than an hour, though the enraged animal bucked and bellowed until he was covered with foam and ready to fall from exhaustion. Some ten years ago there was a band of mustangs in the Llano Mountains, led by a proud, splendid-looking black stallion, with a bald face. Many a cowboy had dreamed of possessing this magnificent horse, but every effort made to capture him bad ended in fail" ure. Lewis determined to "walk" this line animal "down." Setting out early one morning, mounted upon the best pony on the ranch, and leading an extra one, the ambitious negro soon struck the trail of the king of the plains and his harem. For two whole days and nights Lewis stuck close to the heels of the thoroughly .puzzled mustangs, never giving them time to •nip a hunch of grass, drink a drop of water or pause for & moment to rest their wearied limbs. On the morning of the thirdvday the mustangs began to fall and flounder upon the hot sands in a dying condition. The bald stallion still staggered forward as if determined to die upon his feet After some hours, when the sun was nearing the zenith and the heat of the desert was scorching the backs of the snakes and lizards and driving them to seek the shade of the cactus, Lewis's own horse We carry a stock oi goods valued at $1^00,000.00 W« receive from 10,000 to 25,000 letters every day 0. fSwSflSa and occupy the tallest mercantile boJldtaf la tae world.

The gritty little mustang had expended the last spark of his vitality in the long chase. The bald stallion Was now alone. The last member of his band had succumbed to thirst, hunger and exhaustion. The prize was almost within the negro's grasp, for it was evident that the proud spirit of the stallion was broken, and that he could not summon sufficient strength to strike a trot Lewis was determined not to be cheated of the valuable prize now so nearly in his possession, and quickly lossening his lariat from the saddle he threw It across hi shoulder and set out after the stallion on foot He had been in the saddle for more than fifty hours, with wide-open eyes, appeastng his hunger by chewing jerked beef and satiating his thirst with an occasional swallow of hot water from his canteen. Another man would have fallen long before, but this wonderful negro, who possessed—powers—of endurance even superior to his giant strength, "shook the Btiffness out-of his joints," as he says, and, striking a trt>t, h© soon discovered that he was gaining on the tired stallion. Lewis was perfectly familiar with the geography of the country, and as soon as it became evident that the wild horse was aiming to strike a certain crossing on the Llano River, he took a short cut acro?e the hills and got ahead of his prize. He barely had time to conceal himself by the'side of the trail near the water before the tired horse staggered in sight The proud old king of the plains was nearly exhausted, but the scent and sight of the cool waters of the Llano quickened his steps, and, with an eager whinny, he was about to plunge down the bank when a rope hissed through the air and a noose dropped over his neck. "T jes* had to laugh," says Lewis, "for I never saw anything look so' surprised like that horse. 'Peared like he wanted to say, 'Well, you are jes* about the gamest and slickest nigger I ever saw.'" Lewis had captured the famous wild bald stallion which had for years defled all pursuers. The negro easily tamed the fine animal and he was long known as one of the fastest long-distance racehorses in western Texas. Old-time cattle men—the boys who rode the plains before the days of locomotives and barbed wire—never tire of telling stories of this giant negro's powers. No long-horn ever grew to big for Lewis. Whenever he got hjs rope on a »*eer that animal had to go his way. He could catch a big Mexican steer by the horns and drag him about in the corral as another man would handle a calf. Upon one occasion Lewis was riding an unruly mustang and upon approaching a bridg the animal "snlked." end though tho cowboys applied quirts and ropes to his hide with Rreat violence he refused to move out of his tracks. Lewis was In a hurry to catch up with the herl and to the amazement of his comrades he dismounted, and coolly picking up the surprised mustang in his giant arms he threw him across his shoulder and carried him over the bridge.

A Few Pointers en the Feeding end Tzeat- Thto Talnabla Anisiai. I have a horse, ordinary weight 950 jwunds, goes barefoot the year round; seldom has any grain, very ordinary in his build; is not groomed every day like many other farm horses. He seldom gets curried and yet he proves himself more than a match for ironshod, daily-groomed, grained horses. He has the privilege of taking a roll occasionally and also is out to grass some. His strength appears to be more than equal to grain-fed horses of his weight; also his powers of endurance, as I frequently go some twenty miles or more with him and he goes the last part of the journey best. The waring of shoes serves as S draft upon the native powers of the system and so it is with the feeding of grain. Generally speaking, a horse is much better off to go barefoot and to go without grain and also without a blanket Let him have hay and grass and not so very abundantly of tnat; better to have short feed where he will have to feed all day to get enough. Scant feeding is much better for a horse than abundant feeding, as scant feeding calls into action the native powers of the system, while abundant feeding necessarily restricts the action of the native powers of the system. The same principle dominates or underlies the growing to perfection of fruit as the perfection of the horse does not lie merely in a frame well covered with flesh and his coat sleek and shining, but he must possess powers of great stumbled Iendurance, but abundant feeding serves We the unoarsigW, do asrsbf acrros to rwftmd the m,(mej on a fit) ssnt bottls of POWR> BUxir if it d W not ears any oongb, cold, whooping? cough, or throat trouble.

Origin or «S+tttn. the Hirer on *'!reM In old English times, when each family was obliged to sift its own flour, it sometimes happened that an energetic man would turn his sieve so rapidly as to cause it to catch fire. The style of sieve used in those days was called a "temse." and it became a customary saying that a lazy man would never set the temse on fire. Now it happens that the name of the river Thames is pronounced like the name of this old flour sieve, and after many years, when the r Id-fashioned temse was forgotten, it was thought that setting the temse on fire meant setting the river on fire, and that la why to-day we say that a stupid person will never set the river On fire.— Ladles'Home Journal.

Jumping the rope is said to be a remedy for derangement of the liver. Many middle-aged persons in England ' now regularly engage in this exercise, and declare they derive great benefit from it. A pious gentleman in Oreeley, Pa,, insisted upon having prayers just before dinner. His wife and daughter objected so strenuously that the pious gentleman attacked them with a fork, and seriously wounded the wife. The Americans introduced the first sewing machines into China after great difficulties and taught the Chinese their use, and today, in the flourishing cities of Shanghai, Hong Kong and even In Pektng, the tailoring establishments are benefited by them. Movable targets of a new sort have been invented for the use of the German army. These targets are propelled toward the marksmen at full speed to represent a cavalry charge being run on rollers, the motive power supplied by horses, which are started at 8 gallop after being attached to the target ropes. The soldieri thus lent to gauge distance and it3 variations with great accuracy. A mountain of alum rock is a natural curiosity wnich exists in China, about twelve miles from the village of Lion Obefc. The mountain is about ten miles in circumference at the base and its height is 1,940 feet. The stones are quarried in targe blocks, and after being heated in furnaces are thrown into vats of boiling water. At the bottom of the vats the alum crystalizes in layers about six inches in thickness. Prince Ferdinand of Bulgaria, is & very clever mechanical engineer, and jVery interested in machinery. The other day he left his compartment in the train, put on a workman's blouse, and drove an-eagiaeH!rom &airbourgr to Munich. It will be remembered that the unfortunate King of Bavaria before hts mind gave way, often traveled in this Way on the engines, and the legitimate drivers always received a princely pourboire at the end of the journey. As England continues to send re-enforcements to South Africa, in spito of the declaration that the war is prae-y tically over, the suspicious Frenchm; declares that the English government is preparing for a descent on/Madagascar. Oa the other hand, it is conjectured that provisions is being matie against the possibility that the Suez canal may be closed in/the event oC a war in Asia. Neither supposition is tenable, says the/Army and Navy Whatever success the Eii£- Ihad against the Boers, war is so great as to re- Stant re-enforcement of c".i the field. The wagon road from Tientsin to Pekin crosses the S-shaped loops of the Pel Ho (river) at several points between the two cities. The country is very level and devoid of picturesque features. The river is shallow and very broad in places. The channel is only suited for light draught vessels and is hard to follow. The Chinese boats are poled up the river and sail or drift down. The Chinese have now blocked the channel. A large part of the country can be flooded by means of the Grand Canal. This rises high above the surrounding country. The land is given up almost entirely to the cultivation of millet, the principal Chinese grain, and to truck gardening. The truck gardens are the most Interesting. The cabbages, asparagus, peas, tomatoes, pumpkins and other vegetables they grow are the finest in the world. The Chinese cultivators are-independent of nature and the elements. They depend neither, on rain nor sunshine to raise their vegetables. The work goes on uninterruptedly all the year round. There are hardly any woods here, but from time to time there are little, thick clumps of trees, which give shade and have a peculiarly Chinese appearance. Small hamlets are scattered everywhere. The landscape develops many strange features as one approaches the larger towns. Chief among these are high poles with decapitated human heads stuck on top of them. This is the commonest form of punishment in China, and the mandarin puts the heads outside the city to remind travelers without delay of the fate that awaits evildoers. Telegraph poles diversify the scenery with head T>oles, Another curieus- feature consists of rows of huge, grotesque elephants, tigers and other animals carved in soapstone. They form a sort of artificial menagerie. There are aveuues of these things leading to the entrances to several cities. They are put there as objects of art, and not for any religious pu/pqse. In many places in the country there are also colossal Btatues of gods and warriors. After Peit-Sang is Yang-Taun, eighteen miles from Tientsin. The houses are built of mud brick, made with straw. They are /tuite comfortable inside, and very pretty in appearance on account of the vogetation around them, as at so many other'towns, there is a canal, crossed by a boat bridge. Lufa, about thirty miles from Tientsin, is a more important place than most of the others mentioned. The country is somewhat rolling here. This place is the seat of an important mandarin. His headquarters, or yamen, is a big building of blue brick, ornamented with dragons and queer Chinese beasts. The entrance Is appropriately decorated with the heads of decapitated criminals. In a pound alongside it other criminals may be seen undergoing various form of torture. A common punishment that is inflicted for the most trivial offences is the cangue, a huge collar of wood, almost to heavy to be borne, but so arranged that it prevents prisoner from lying down* _ --> Forty miles from Tientsin^ the important walled city of Lang Fang, which is near the army's route. This place is about four thousand years old. I had a' peculiar experieioe here in what is described aa a first-class Chinese hotel. There i3 a famous joss house in Lang Fang which contains twenty idols, or gods, including tne God of War, the God of Strength,, the God of blT"Ey1 herK Death, the GocT Fertility, and othe res, the God- Followers of Buddha and Confucius use these jos3 houses impartially. There is also a Temple of Tortures. Thin is filled with figures made of clay •and papier mache, illustrating in an extremely realistic manner all the tortures inflicted by Chinese law. It is far more horrible than the Chamber- of Horrors at Mme. Tuasaud's. Here you see a representation of a man being sawed in half and another being slowly ground to pieces on a grindstone, and so on: Ho-Sl-Wu is a town of considerable sise about fifty miles from Pekin. Anting is a small place on the railroad some fifty-four miles from Tientsin, which may figure 'n the march of the allies. At this point the natural route of the army turns westward. Feng-Tai, seventy-four miles. from Tientsin, is situated on top of a ridge, from which Pekin comes suddenly into view. The sight of this great and mysterious city, with its wails aud quaintly roofed temples, is one that cannot fail to create a deep impression upon the traveler. It makes one think of a traveler in ancient days coming in sight of the sacred city of Jerusalem. Here is the Grand canal which is a great artificial waterway connecting Pekin with Nankin. It is carried between embankments which rise high above the surrounding country. In times of peace the canal is covered with a vast fleet of junks, some of which are bigger than a large ocean steamer. They draw as much as ten feet of water, and have an immense length and beam. The famous west gate of Pekin is the one through which the ordinary traveler from Tientsin makes his entrance. The gate has the thickness of a New York city block, and in the passage through it there are a dozen gate3 of different patterns, some opening in the middle, some working- on lilnges, and others falling like porticullises. The walls rise to a height of eighty feet, and over the gate there is a temple a hundred feet high, with trees growing around_it on top of the wall.

TRANSVAAL WAH ITBMeV Tho escape of Zte\VfetRafter the elaborate dispositions ncuvde' to ^surround him If humiliating*to the English generals and has W4» some damag* to another great reputation* that,of Lord Kitchener. Lord Roberts sent Kitchener to take complete control of t o * operations which were to end in cornering Da Wet Generals Metbuen, Ian Hamilton axftft Sroith-Dorriea were cooperating with him, as well as Broadwood's cavalry brigade, so that there must have eaeu some 30,000 troops endeavoring to intercept' the 7,000 mounted men who,form DeWet'sfollowing* , After being bouyed up for weeks with the hopes that this superbly led flying solum* would be environed, the British public are. not a t all pleased to bear that LeWet has got clear away again aud has outmarched both Metbuen and Kitchener and is heading north to join Commandant Delarey, who has taken* possession of Hustenberg and seems to be practically master of the country almost up to Mafeking. As to the future, it seems that the operations.may now be chiefly confined to two distinct quartera DeWet and Delarey have wide spaces of western Transvaal and the Bechuanaland frontier to roam over, and the British hold on these districts, which were supposed to be hiibjuguted, is extremely precarious, as the Boers are probably gaining recruits as they go along. " Lord Roberts's proclamation, after reciting the fact that many have broken the oath to maintain neutrality, and thut the leniency extended to the burghers is not appreciated, warns all who breuk their oaths in the future that they will be puni&hed by death, imprisonment or fine. He declares that all burghers in districts occupied by the British, except those who take the oatb, will be regarded as prisoners of war and transported, and that buildings on farms where the enemy or his scouts are harbored will be liable •to be raited. Gen. Dewet has managed to elude Gen. Kitchener, in spite of the fact that all the British wagons had double teams of picked animals. The Boers evaded the British by marching at night over grounds_known to them, "WhlteTheiF pursuers were obliged to march in the daytime. .It is reported that former President Steyn, of the Transvaal, is dead. He was suffering a severe wound and was endeavoring to reach President Kruger when he died. A special cable dispatch from Del agoa bay says that uccording to Boer reports there, Gen. DeWet has turned on the British, defeated them and captured 4,000 men. It is reported upon British authority that President Kruger wants peace, but that his fighting commandants insist upon continuing tho war, $ A considerable portion of Commandant- General Louis Botha's camp and stores at Dalmanthua was destroyed by fire on the 12th. Lord Koberts is to be. given the position of general-in-ebief to replace Gen. Lord Wolseley, who retires in October. —— According to the 1900 census New York has a population of 2,050,000, a gain of 535,299 in 10 years. Lord Kitchener, after a forced march, has relieved Col. Iloare aud the British garrison at Elands river. The Transvaal capital is now located at Barberton. B A S E B A L L .

In spite of his somewhat suggestive title, the "grand bootjack" is by no means a menial. He is indeed an earl and one of the proudest in the peerage of Scotland. His own title is Earl of Rothes, and his court title is one which comes to him by inheritance from an ancestor of five centuries ago, who was made "bootjack" to his majesty of Scotland. The earl is only twenty years old. Until he married the countess he was very poor, but his father-in-law, the famous "Plush Edward," manufacturer of plush, gave him enough money to restore the state of his ancient house and enable him to support his title in style. Earl Rothes and the countess are now making a tour around the world. » CricKf*'* Wane in England. Cricket is said to be losing its popularity in England. In several of the British newspapers this Is discussed as an established fact, and it is said to be due to somewhat the same reasons that have led to the decadence of baseball in the United States. Just as here professionalism has ruined the national game, so the same evil seems to have arisen in England. It seems that the best cricket clubs are made up of professionals and alleged amateurs who are really professionals and do little else than play the'game and reap financial benefit thereby more or less surreptitiously. Lord Roberts is afraid of about only one thing in the world, and that is a cat He cannot bear one of these animals to come near him.

From Berlia, where he preached in tf&e American church to a great con- -gregaiion, comprising many of his •country iaso who are traveling through Earepej. Dr. TaJmage sends this discourse. In which, by original methods, he calculate* spiritual values and urges high** appreciation ot things religious. The text is Mark viil.. 36, "What shall It profit a man if he shall gain tbo whole world and lose Uts own soul?" First, I have t o say that the world J s a very grand property. Its flowers are God's thought in bloom; its rocks are God's thoughts in stone; its dewdrops are God's thoughts in pearl. This world is God's child—« wayward child, indeed. It has wandered off through the heavens. But about 1,900 years ago, one Christmas night, God 3ent out a sister world to call that wanderer back, and It hung over Bethlehem only long enough to get the promise cf t h e wanderer's return, and now that l o s t wprld, with soft feet of light, comes treading back through the heavens. The hills—how beautiful they billow up the edge of the wave white with the foam of crocuses t How beautiful the rainbow, the arched bridge on whicl^ heaven and earth come and talk to each other in tgrfrs after the storm is over! How nimble the feet of the lamp-lighters that in a few minutes set all the dome of the night ablaze with brackets of fire! How bright the oar of the saffron cloud that rows across the deep sea of heaven! How beautiful the spring, with bridal blossoms in her hair! I wonder who it is that beats time on a Juno morning for the bird orchestra? How gently the harebell tolls its fragrance on the air! There may be grander worlds than this, but I think that this Is a most exquisite world, a mignonette on the bosom of immensity, "Oh," you cay, "tako my soul!—Give In the first place, you give no title* and crush it;, no waflt can Impede it; w> In the second'place, fox which you can [ t i m e can exhaust i t r I t wants' no me that world' I am willing to take it In exchange. I am ready now for the bargain. It is so beautiful a world, so sweet a world, so grand a world!" The Valete ot the World. But let us look more minutely into the value of this world. You will not buy property unless you can get a good title to it. After you have looked at the property and found out that it suits you, you send an attorney to the public office, and he examines the book of deeds and book of mortgages and the book of judgments and the book of liens, and he decides whether the title is good before you will have anything to do with it. There might be a splendid property, and in every way exactly suited to your want, but if you cannot get a good . title you will not take It Now, I am here to say that it is impossible to get a good title to this world.—if I settle down upon it, in the very year I so settle down upon it as a permanent possession, I may be driven away from it. Aye, in five minutes after I give up my soul for the world, I may have to part with the world, and what kind of a title do you call that? There is only one way in which I can hold an earthly possession, and that is through the senses. All beautiful eights through the eye, but the eye may be blotted out; all captivating sounds through the ear.but my ear may be deafened; all lusclousness of fruits and viands through my taste, but my taste may be destroyed; all appreciation of culture and of art . through my mind, but I may lose my mind. What a frail hold, then, I have upon any earthly possession! In courts of law, if you want to get a man off a property, you must serve upon- him a writ of ejectment, giving him a certain time to vacate the premises, but when death comes to us and serves a w r i t of ejectment he does not give us one second of forewarning. He says: "Off of this place! You have nc fight any longer to the possession." We might cry out, "I gave you a hundred thousand dollars for that property;" the plea would be of no avail. We might say, "We have a warrantee deed for that property," the pica would be*of no avail. We might s« r, "We have a lien on that storehouse;" that would do u s n o good. Death is blind, and he cannot see a seal and cannot read am Indenture. 8 o that, first and l a s t 1 want to tell you that when you propose that I give up my soul for the world you cannot give me the first item of title. Question of l u n n a c * , Having examined the title of a property, your next question is about insurance. You would not be silly enough to buy a large warehouse that could not possibly be insured. You would not have anything to do with euch a property. Now, I ask you what assurance can you give me that this world is not going to be burned up? Absolutely none. Geologists tell us that it is already on fire; that the give no insurance. "Oh," you say, "the water of the oceans will wash over all the land and put out the fire." Oh, no. There are inflammable element*} in the water, hydrogen and oxygen. Call off the hydrogen, and then the Atlantic and Pacific oceans would blaze like heap* o f , s h a v i n g s . You want me to take this world, for which you can £i ve no possible insurance. Gaining the World, Oh, yes, ho had trouble with it, and ao did Napoleon. After conquering nations by force o f t h e sword the victor lies down to die, his entire possession the military boots that he insisted on having upon his feet while he was dying. So it has been with men who had better ambition. Thackeray, one of the most genial and lovable souls.after he had WQU the applause of all intelligent lands through bis wonderful genius, sits down in a restaurant in Paris, lcoks to the other end of the room and wonders whose is that forlorn and wretched face. Rising up after awhile, he finds that it Is Thackeray in the mirror. Oh, yes, this world is a cheat. Talk about a man gaining the world! Who ever sained half of the-world? Who ever owned a hemisphere? Who ever gained a continent? Who ever owned Asia? Who ever gained a city? Talk about gaining the world! No man ever gained it, or the thousandth part of it. You are demanding that I sell my soul, not for the world, but for a fragment of it. Here is a man who had had a large estate for 40 or 50 years. He lies down to die. You say, "That man is worth millions and millions of dollars:" Is he? You call up a surveyor, with his compass and chains, and you say, "There is a property extending three miles in ono direction and three miles in another direction." Is that the way to measure that man's property? No! You <?-> not w a n v a n y surveyor, with compass and chains. That is not the way to measure that man's property now. It is an undertaker you need, who will—come and put hio flnger- •tand around the- dying couch. With one Uap it springs beyond star and moon end sun and cha#m* of lrnmea* •tty. Jt is superior to all material things! No fire can consume it; no floods can drown itr no rocks ' can his vest pocket and take qut a tapeline, and he will measure five feet nine inches one way and two and a half feet the other way. That is the man's property. Oh, no; I forgot; not so much as that, for he does not own even the place In which he lies in the cemetery. The deed to that belongs to the executors and heirs. Oh, what a property you propose to give me for my soul! If you sell a bill of goods, you go into the counting room and say to your partner: "Do you think that man is good for this bill? Can he give proper security? Will he meet this payment? Now, when you are-offered this world as a possession I want you to test the matter. I do not want you to go into this bargain blindly. I want you* to ask about the title, about the insurance, about whether men have ever had any trouble with it, about whether yon ^ n kAf»p it^hour w h H ^ r - you can get all or_the ten-thousandth or one hundred thousandth part of it. There Is the world now. I shall say no more about it. Make up your mind for yourself, as I shall before God have to make up my mind for myself about the vali!e of this world. I cannot afford to make a mistake for my soul, and you cannot afford to make a mistake for your soul. The Soul Beyond Virtue. Now let us look at the other property— the soul. We cannot make a bargain without seeing the comparative value. The soul! How shall I estimate the value of it? Well, by its* exquisite organization. It is the most wonderful piece of mechanism ever put together. Machinery is of value in proportion as it is mighty and silent at the same time. You look at the engine and the machinery in the Philadelphia mint, a i d as you see it performing its wonderful work you will be surprised to find how silently i t goes. Machinery that roars and tears soon destroys itself; but silent -machinery is often most effective. Now, so it is with the soul of man, with all its tremendous faculties, it moves in silence. Judgment, without any racket, lifting its scales; memory, without any noise, bringing down all its treasures; .conscience taking its judgment seat without any excitement; the understanding and the will all doing-their work-^veloclty, majesty, might, but silence, silence. You listen at the door of your heart. You can hear no sound. The soul is quiet. It is so delicate an instrument that no human hand can touch it. You break a bone,- and with splinters and bands the surgeon sets it; the eye becomes Inflamed, the apothecary's wash cooTs it; but a soul oft the track, unbalanced, no human power can readjust it. With one sweep of its wings it circles the universe and overvaults the throne of God. Why, in the. hour of death the soul Is so mighty it throws aside the body as though i t were a toy. It drives back medical skill as impotent. It breaks through the circle of loved ones who bridge on which to cross * chasm. It wants no plummet with which to sound a depth'. A soul so mighty, so swift, so silent, must be a priceless soul. I calculate the value of the soul alto by kg capacity for happiness. How much joy it can get in tWs world out of friendship** out of hooka, out of clouds, out of the sea, out ot flowers, out of ten thousand things, and yet all the joy it haa here does not teat its capacity. You are in a concert before the curtain hoists, and you bear the instrument* preparing—the sharp snap of the broken string, the scrap* .ing of the bow across the viol. "There is no music in that," you say. It .is only getting ready for the music. And aU the enjoyment of the soul in this worldMfce enjoyment we.think is real enjoyment, is ouly preparative; it is only anticipates; it is only the first stages of the thing; it is only the entrance, the beginning of that which shall be the orchestral harmonies and splendors of the redeemed. Power of the Soul. You cannot test the full power ot the soul for happiness in this world. How much power the soul has here to find enjoyment in friendships; but, oh, t grander friendships for t£e soul in the skies! How sweet the flowers here, but how much sweeter they will be there! I do not think that when flowers die on earth they die forever. In the sunny valleys of heaven shall not the marigold creep? On the hills of heaven will not the amaranth bloom? On the amethystine walls of heaven will not the jessamine climb? "My beloved is come down into his garden to gather lilies." No flowers in heaven? Where, then, do they gzt their garlands for the brows of the righteous? ChriBt is glorious to our souls now, but how much grander our appreciation after awhile! A conqueror comes back after the battle. He has been fighting for us. He comes upon the platrorm. He has one arm in a sling, and the other arm holds a crutch. As he mounts the platform, oh, the enthusiasm of the audience! They say, "That man fought for us and imperiled his life for us," and how wild the huzza that follows huzza! When the Lord Jesus Christ shall at last stand out before the multitudes of the redeemed of heaven and we meet him face to face and feel that he was wounded in the head and wounded in the hands and wounded in the feet and wounded in the side for us, methinks we will be overwhelmed. We will sit some time gazing in silence until some leader amid the white robed choir shall lift the baton of light and give the signal that it is time to Wake the soig of the jubilee, and all hoaven then Will break forth into "riosanna, hosanna! Worthy is the Lamb that was jrtain." - I calculate further t'ue value of the soul by the price that has been paid for it. In St. Petersburg there is a diamond that the government paid $200,000 for. "Well," you say, "it must have been very valuable or the government would not have paid S2C0,- 000 for it." I want to see what my soul is worth and what your soul is worth by seeing what has been paid for it. For that immortal soul the richest blood that was ever shed, the deepest groan that was ever uttered, all the griefs of earth compressed into one tear, all the sufferings of earth gathered into one rapier of pain and struck through his holy heart. Doe3 it not imply tremendous value? * * * • God help you rightly to cipher out" this sum in gospel arithmetic: "What shall it profit s. man If he shall gain the whole world and lose his own soul?"

Daring the heavy rains of the past two weeks many acres oi land changed hands—washed from one farm to an-, other. An evening's walk about town will convince yon that while all men are not homeless some men are home less than others. ' S. T. "Grimes of Howell spent the past week with bis parents here. He is having his annual vacation also the hay fever. Ghas. L. Grimes of t*u9 place and Mrs. Emma Peden of Richmond, lad., were married recently and are now at home in this village. » Coming Events.

The small boy (and some larger ones) have been saving their pennies the past week to take in the Whitney show Friday afternoon and evening, Aug. 31. Admission 25 and 15 cents. On Thursday last the transfer was mads which gave Harvey Harrington the right and title to the "Isham liouse" in this village. Mr. and Mrs. H. will soon become residents of this pretty village and we welcome them. The ball games at the Fowlerville fair will be a big attraction this year. Webberviile and Stockbridge play on Wednesday, Brighton and Iosco on Thursday and the winniag teams on Friday. A purse of $200 is to be divided among the four teams. A number of boys are making a habit of jumping on ncoving trains at the depot. The parents of :be boys need not be astonished when they receive tie news that their Johnny or Edward have bad a leg or arm cut off or entirely cut in in two. The railroad company will not be to blame for these accidents. The Brighton team have evidently taken a drop. They were defeated in the game with ioscn at Pinckney last Thursday by a score of 16 to 4. The only reason we can give for their being defeated is that they were outplayed by those farmers. The features of the game and the star plays were not done by the Brigbtons that day. In another game the order might be reversed.—Brighton Argus. Last week of vacation. Monday next is Labor Day. School begins next Tuesday. Edward Bowers has gone to Petoskey for a week or two. S. Wallace of Howell was in town on business the first of the week.

All these valleys, the harvests that wave in them and the cattle that pasture them —all these mountains and the precious things hidden beneath them and the 'crown, of glacier they cast at the feet of the Alpine hurricane—all these lakes, these islands, these continents, a r t oars. In the second walk go among the street lamps of heaven and see stretching off on every side a wilderness of worlds. For us they shine. For us they aang at a Savior's nativity. For us they will wheel into line and with their flaming torches add to (Copyright, 1W0. by Lout* Klop»ch.) In thia discourse Dr. Talmage, who luring his Journey homeward has seen orach of royal and Imperial apleadors the splendor of our triumph on the Competent authorities assert that South America has greater undeveloped resources than any other portion of. the world. Any crop grown elsewhere can be duplicated there, and the country abounds in mines of coal, silver and gold, most of which have been only slightly developed. Some Idea of the magnitude of the electric lighting machinery in this country may be obtained from the statement that the public lighting stations of New York city alone supply incandescent lamps each year to the number of 2,125,000. This is independent of those furnished by private plants. Literary Paris is greatly agitated over the difficulty of deciding which is the genuin6 copy of "L'Ami du Peup W which was stained with the blcod of Marat when the revolutionist met his death at the hands of Charlotte Cord ay. So far seven copies have turned up, all solemnly accredited and all bearing <\IQ blood slain. The will of M. Alphouse Milne Edwards bequeaths his valuable scientific library to the Jardin des P l a n t s , In Paris, the proceeds of the sale to increase the stipend of tha chair of zoology, which was filled by him. He gives. 20,009 francs to the Geographical Society for an annual prize to explorers, and 10,000 francs to the Society of the Friends of Science. In passing through the capitals of Eu rope, shows that there is no higher dignity nor more illustrious station than those which the Christian'has as t child of Qod; text, Judges vlii., 18, ''Each one resembled the children of a kins." Zebah and Zalmunna had been off to battle, and when they came back they were ask*d what kind of people they had seen. They answered that the people had a royal appearance. "Each one resembled the children of a king." That description of people is not extinct. . There are still many who have this appearance. Indeed, they are the sons and daughters of the Lord Almighty. Though now in exile, they i shall yet come to their thrones. There-j-^ath —prepared lor I are family names that stand for wealth or patriotism or intelligence. The name of Washington among us will always represent patriotism. The family of the Medici stood as the representative of letters. The family of the* Rothschilds is significant of wealth, the less of $40,000,000 in 1848 putting them to no inconvenience, and within afew years they have loaned Russia $12.- •000,000, Naples $25,000,000, Austria $40,-. 000.OG0. and England $200,000,000, and the stroke cf their pen on the counting room desk shakes everything from the Irish s?a to the Danube. They open their hand and-there is war, they shut it and there is peace. The Romanoffs of Russia, the Hohenzollerns of Germany, the Bourbons of France, the Stuarts and Guelphs cf Great Britain, are houses whose names are intertwined with the history of their respective nations symbolic cf imperial author- Dr. Henry J.

In the third walk go around the eternal city. As we come near it, hark to t h e rush of its chariots and the wedding peal of Its great towers. The bell of heaven has struck 12. It Is high noon. We look off upon the chaplets which never fade, the eyes that never weep, the temples that never close, the loved ones that never part, the procession that never halts, the trees that never wither, the walls that never can be captured, the sun that never set3, until we can no longer gaze, and we hide our eyes and exclaim: "Bye hath not seen nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man the things which God them that love hira!" As the tides of glory rise we have to retreat and hold f?.st leet we be swept off and drowned in the emotions "of srladne33 and thanksgiving and triumph. What think you of the family property? It is considered an honor to marry into a family where there is Treat weaUh. The Lord, the bridegroom of earth and heaven, offers you his heart and his-hand, saying in the words of the Canticles.. "Rise un my love, my fair one, and come away." And once having pet on thy hand the signet ringof-hrs love, yc.i will be endowed v-jth :-II the wcoltU of earth and all the honors of heaven. we get at the .reoniQA in the pld family mansion in heaven? It is a good while since you parted &t the door a/ the grave. There will be Grace and Mary and Martha and Charlie and UaHe and all the darlings of your household, not pale and sick and gasping for breath, as when you saw, them list, but their eye bright with the luster of heaven and their cheek roseate with the flush of celestial summer: What clasping of hands! What em* bracings! What coming together of lip tonip! lyhaV tears of joy! few say, 1 thought there were*no tears la heaven.' There must be, for the Bibh says that "God shall wipe them away," and if there were no tears there bow could he wipe them away? They cannot be tears of grief or disappointm e n t They must be tears of gladnc83, Christ will come and say, "What, child of heaven, is it too much for toes? Dost thou break down under the glad ness of this reunion? Then I wil! help thee." And with his one a m around us and the other arm arounc our ioved ones be shall hold us up In the eternnl jubilee. " While 1 speak some of you . with broken hearts can hardly hold your peace. You feel as if you would speak out and say: "Oh, bleseed day, speed on! Toward thee I press with blistered feet over the desert wayr My eyei fall for their weeping. 1 faint from listening fOTv feet that will not come and the sound^ of voices that will not speak. Speed on. oh O.&y of reunion! And then. Lord Jesus, be not angry. The Chamber of Commerce of San Diego, Cal., is making an effort to establish the production of raw silk in the agricultural districts about that city, fiteps baye been taken to secure a large number of silk worms, and five thousand mulberry trees will soon be planted. The climate of southern California is deemed even preferable for this industry to that of Prance, the home o* silk culture. The consumption of raw silk in this country is enormous, and the entire supply comes from foreign countries, principally from Japan, China and Italy. In 1899 the total imports of this raw material were va&eed at $43,546,872. At Boulder, Col., a curious accident occurred. The brake on a tank car loaded with sulphuric acid refused to work, and the car wenfdown a grade. Whlsdee were /"blown and the switchman saw the train in time to shunt it onto a sidetrack. The tank car struck a box car loaded with household goods; the tank car, which contained about 4vSeD gallons of the acid, slid off the* platform car and was telescoped into the box car. The acid began to , escape and ruined the furniture, and made a ^reat pool in the yard, temporarily preventing the passing of '.earns to obtain freight. The loss amounted to-several thousand dollars. <JV The naphtha launch of L. A. Scott of Philadelphia came suddenly to a etop recently in a swarm of myriads of green files along the- lower Jersey coast The engine refused to run. The force was turned off and an investigation instituted forthwith, which resulted Is the nnding of about two gall o n at "green headers" tightly packed into one of their air chambers which fed the flume with oxygen. The flies >had been drawn in by the suction until tbey were a* selidly packed as powder, and shot In a gun barren. It required a a hour of patient work to remove tfce mass of dead flies from the hot cylinder and get the boat in worki n g oitftr agaia. ity. But I preach of n family more potential, more rich and more extensive— the royal horse of Jesus, of whom the whole family in heaven and on earth i.3 named. Wo are blood relations by the relationship cf the cross: ail of us are the children of the K i r s . 4 -First, I speak of our family name. When we see a descendant of flora" one greatly celebrated in the last century, we look at him with profound interest. To have had conquerors, kings or princes in the ;<ncosti'al line gives bis- > ter to the family name. In oar line ' was a King and a Conqueror. The •&4av--ui t-Ue- Efifrt--w4th—liatou of IigiU-1 woke UJJ the eternal orchestra that made music at his birth. From thence lie starter! forth to -conquer all nation^, not by tramping them down, but l>y lifting them up. St. John saw him on a white horse. * When he returns he will not bring the nations chained to his wheel or in iron cages, but I hear the strike of the hoofs of the snowwhite cavalcade that brings them to the gates in triumph. Luster F r o m Star i»»cl Spear. Our family name takes luster from the star that heralded him and the spear'that pierced him and the crown "that was given him. lc gathers fragrance from the frankincense brought to his cradle and the lilies that flung their sweetness .into his sermons and the box of alabaster that broke at his feet. The Comforter^at Bethany. The Resurrector at Naln. The supernatural Oculist at Bethsalda. The Savior of one worltl and the chief joy of another. The storm.his frown. The sunlight his smiie. The spring morning his breath. The earthquake the stamp of bis feet. The thunder the whisper of his voice. The ocean a drop on the tip of his finger. Heaven a sparkle on the bosom of bis love. Eternity the Jwinkling of his eye. The universe the flying dust of his chariot wheels. AbJe to heal a heartbreak or hush a tempest or drown -a world or flood immensity with his glory. What other family name could ever boast of such an illustrious personage? Henceforth swing otrt~the coat of arms. Great families wear their coat of arms on the dress, or on the door of the coach, or on the helmet when they go out to battle.*or on flags and ensigns. The heraldic sign is sometimes a lion or a dragon or an eagle. Our coat of arms,worn right over the heart, hereafter shall be a cross, a lamb 'standing against it and a dove flying over it. Grandest of all escutcheons! In every battle I must have it blazing on my flag—the dove, the croas, the Iamb, alfff-wnelFT Tall wrap me in that good old Christian flag, so that the family coat of'arms shall be rignTorer my breast, that all the world may see that I looked to the Dove of the Spirit and clung try the Cross add depended upon the Lamb of God/ which taketh away the sin of the world. • * * The Aojral ROOM of JMVS. You cannot see a large estate in one morning. You must take several walks around it.

The poorest man in that house is a millionaire and the lowest a'king, and the tamc-t word he r,:r:ak3 is an anthem and the shortest Hie an eternity.

I have not seen- it yet. 1 am in a foreign land. But my. Father is waiting for me to come home. I have brothers r.r.d sisters there. In th« Bible.I have letters from there, telling me what a fine place it i3. It matters not much to me whether I am rich or poor, or whether "the world hates mc or loves me, or whether I go by land or by sea, if only I.may lift my eyes at last on the family mansion. It is not a frail house, built in a month, scon to crumble, but an old mansion, which is as firm as the day it was built. Its with mo if after I have kissed thy blessed feet I turn around to gather up the long lost .treasures of ray heart. Oh, be not angry villi me. One look at thee were heaven. But all these reunions are heaven encircling heaven, heaven overtopping hcawn, heaven commingling with heaven!"

The Family Reunion. A family mansion means reunion. Some of your families are very much scattered. The children married and went off to St. Louis or Chicago or Charleston. But perhaps once a year you come together at the old place. How you wake up the old piano that has been silent for years! Father and mother do not play oh it. How you bring out the old relics and rummage the garret and open oldscrapbooks and shout and laugh and cry and talk over old times and, though you may be forty-five years of age* act as though you were sixteen. Yefsoon it is goojby ft the ear window and goodby at the steamboat wharf. But/how* will ' / Time. Strange.to-«ay, the sandgkiUn.is still used to measure varying periods ci time. The size depends upon the purposes t o which they are to be put The hour glass is still in use in the sick room and in the music room, in both places affording a sure and si lent indication of the progress of time. Half-hour glasses'are. used in schools; and fifteen-minute g l a r e s aie used fot medical purposes, and the sandglass also goes into the kitchen as an aid to exact cooking. There are also (tem minute glasses, five-minute and threeminute glasses, the two latter being used to time the boiling period of eggs. The three-minute sandglass is called an "ess boiler." Sand-glasses are also used for scientific purposes and on shipboard. The sand is carefully prepared by a thorough cleaning, including boiling. It is then baked dry, and then ground into the requisite fineness and uniformity, as sharp sand would be likely to become wedged in the opening between the two sections* oi the glass. The sand is then introduced Into the glass through an opening left for that purpose in the end oi one dnilb, the opening -then beina "wash-over several times emulsion to get it damp enough to oil; then apply the oil as in the harne33. I find old straps which had become so brittle as to crack seriuusly whsn bent are rente red to their ordinal softness and pliability by the treatment.

At the •Pan-American Exposition to be held at ruf.a o no::*, year it was prupo- ed to have competitive tests of all the dairy breed?:. Reports now indicate that all the breeds except th? HOiStcin-Friei.iati will decline to participate. The llolfcicih-Frlcsian men claim that the owner.- of other breeds cf cows arc afraid to meet them in competition. * * * American dairymen are well acquainted with the methods of enriching skim milk fpr caivec by the audi' lion of oil meal and the like. But according to recent reports the New Zcalandcrs are actually using in their milk cod livtr oil at the rate of two .ounces per calf per cir.y. The report covered "with—tne~Tvyj~wa1efli, the Tight quantity in each sand glass is gauged by actually -timing the flow from one part of the glass to the other, and every glass is individual^ treated like a good thermometer.

ABide from the special question of profit and loss, wo have a warm side toward the crow, he is ,!J much like ourselves, said the late Henry Ward Beecher. H e is lazy, and that is human; he is cunning.and that is human. He thinks his own color is best, and loves to hear his own voice, which are eminent traits of humanity. He will never work when he can get another to work for him—a genuine human trait. He eats whatever he can get his claws upon, and is less mischievous with a belly full than when hungry, and this is like man. Take off their wings and put them in breeches, and crows would make fair average men. Give men wings and reduce their smartness a little, and many of them would be almost good enough to be crows. tay.i tl at where i-cparator skim milk is used the farmer:, have found it necessary to .add_£omcthing.especially when the calves aie to be grown into beeves. Crude cod liver oil can bo bought in that country for about 75 cents per gallon, and each ' gallon contains 160 ounces of oil. This permits them to feed two ounces per day for a period of eighty days, aTer which the use rjf the oil is discontinued; Whether or not a dairyman should have. hi3 cows come In fresh in the fail must depend to a very large extent en the disposition he is making of his milk. If he is supplying a creamery cr cheese factory that runs only during the summer months it is manifestly to his advantage to have his coys come in fresh in the spring, so the milk will be available for use durir.g tha summer season. But In most cases, especially if the dairyman be well fixed for his business, a good number of the cows should drop their calves in the fall months. This is to the advan-. tage of the man.that sells milk and cream in the city, as well as of the man that makes butter. In both cases the-winter is the time when a good flow of milk means most money. • • » They are trying to settle the question of good milk in Denmark by grading it when it come3 to the cheese factories and creameries. Che standards for grading are: Ten points are given for all mjlk without any faults. The most points given are 12, but only for milk, which, beside being clean, well nerated and cooled, must_have a good fresh aroma. Milk with 9 points is not less fresh. Eight points milk'has not been treated so clean as could bo wlshelPfor, or is beginning to turn sour. By 7 points the fault is so pronounced that the supplier is made acquainted with and requested to correct it as soon a t possible. Six points milk is returned. In tome of t h * factories the milk has been paid for not only in proportion to the quantity of' butterfat but alto by tho Quality according t o the grading, go the tupplier who takes some eatra trouble to br^ng bJfcmllk to tho factory in a flrtt-c&ss condition, got* folly repaid tot it. In other factories thD grrndbit t j s t t m has no inflnenee on t h e payment U>e grading itself canalas a tort of race between the suppliers, as a matter of honor not to gat l e u thaa 10 points.

Importance ol good See4 Wheat, "ri?he great trouble with most of the farmers of this county, and I suppose with the majority of farmers elsewhere, is that they do not pay enongh attention to thei.r seed wheat. A farmer ought to take the same pains in bringing1 up his seed wheat as in breeding cattle. If the same .wheat is grown year after year on the same laud it is bound to deteriorate in quality and become mixed with rve, and theu thy—farmer complains because his- crop is diminishing year after year, when, as a matter of fact, all that is needed is careful attention in the selection of seed. Seed that is pure may be sowed this year and there will be only a few spears of rye in it. But Jhe rye ripeus before the wheat and shells out on ground and comes up the next yenr as volunteer rye. The consequence is that he is "docked" for that reason when he takes his wheat to mill. "Every farmer who grows wheat should set aside a small field in which to «j;row his seed wheat for the next year. He should see that it is kept clear of lye and weeds, and he ought to winnow the wheat carefully, se-* lecting the largest grains for seed, and occasionalfy he should get a fresh supply of imported seed. The farmer who does this will make money by it,, and his wheat yield will be a third larger than his neighbor's' who does not observe these precautions."— Exchange- An exchange SHJB that vertical"; ^ . • ^ • • ^ • • ^ t hand writing is to be abandoned, J \ir (% in the public scnools of KewYork \t *V .

So said Mrs. Harte to her daughter May one afternoon late in February. "That is strange, mamma, when you have always liked Fannie so much," pouted May. "Now, daughter, you know very well why I do not want you to g o with Fanny," and Mrs. Harte paused and looked straight at her daughter. And May did know. Exactly one month before May Harte had become engaged to George Noble, as fine a young man a s h i s name. But before her engagement she had been very "sweet," as" the girls put it, upon Fanny Engie's brother Horace, a young man of poor haWts, and it was on account of Horace that Mrs. Harte did not wish her betrothed daughter to go skating with Fanny. But May was willful. "I am sorry," said Mrs. Harte,."that May acts so. Some time she will go too. far." That afternoon a messenger boy came with a letter for May and a large bouquet of flowers. The letter read: "Dearest May—I. drop you this line to remind you that we are to go skating this afternoon, and Horace says to be sure, and send you these flowers with our compliments. He will join us on the ice. Lovingly, "FANNY." May read the note an.d smiled with pleasure. "Isn't that sweet of Fanny?" said she. But her mother sighed. She did not want May to encourage Fanny or her brother, for she felt that it would lead to no 5^1 ^ Werner's Dictionary 01 Synonyms i Antonyms, HTtnolosy and Familiar ' A book that should be in the vest I pocket. of every person, because it tells you the right word to use, | No Two Words in the English [Language Have Exactly the Same Significance.

M0NT60MERY WAR0& c o , " ^ * ^ ^ * , ' — " ' - That afternoon May went skating with Fanny and h«r brother^ and It; was fully 5 o'clock when tne returned. "I am going to supper with Fanny," said she', "and as George was coming to call this evening I shall drop him a little line t o tell him not to call before to-morrow." Mrs. Harte objected, seriously, but her willful daughter r was not to be turned, so she let her go her own way, though she felt that 4t was a mistake for May to treat her betrothed In that manner. Foolish May! She was actually In love with George, but, like many other girls who have secured a good / o u n g man, she was capricious an<? liked to' try his affection. George Hadnoticed her caprlclousness, but bore it good naturedly. That evening May sent her note to George telling him not to call, and then went to Fanny's house to spend the evening,. If May noticed anything strange about the conduct of Fanny or her brother that evening, she said nothing, but afterward she admitted that both had acted a little strangely. After supper Fanny suggested that all three go for a walk, but when they were ready to start May was surprised to see a sleigh standing at the front door. "We are going for a ride Instead of a walk," whispered Fanny, putting her arm p'ayfully around May's waist, "surely, you will not refuse to go with us, dear." Before May kenw it they were all seated in the sleigh and the driver was rapidly speeding along down the street toward the main avenue which ran through the middle of the town. Scarcely had they gone more than a block whe/h Fanny put her arm aroujid May and drew her head down on her shoulder. '"Dear May," said she, "there Is something Horace and I want to say tp you, and we thought you would not refuse us." And then to her horror and surprise, Horace Engle began to pour into h^r ear his tale of love and long affection, while Fanny added a word here and there. May, too indignant to reply, put her hands to her ears to shut out the sound. Stop, stop!" cried May. "Such dishonorable talk I never heard. I w 11 not allow you to speak to me this way. Remember that I am the afllanced wi.e of George Noble, as true and gool a m.an as ever walked, and that I "will' not listen to such words." Then •.tuning to her friend she said: "Fanny, I am ashamed of you." Fanny flushed mid stammered, hut her brother said, "That is all very.VPl: May but you know 'all's fair in i-~vo and war." Then again Fanny began to r:ax May to. consider the step which *he might take and make her brother so happy. "Horace has promised to turn over a new leaf if you will marry him." "Stop this sleigh immediately," almost shrieked May. "I do not wonder, Fanny, that you thought it n t ^ s s t r y to bring me away out here to talk to me in so dishonorable a way. But I will not listen to it. Stop the 6leigh right away. I shall wajk home, it would be contamination for me to remain any longer in your presence," she cried turning to Horace, with i scorn In her flashing eye. Alarmed by her vehemence, Horace opened the sleigh door and called to the driver, and the sleigh came to a standstill, but scarcely before May had bounded out. "You are a rman, dishonorable" pair, and I shall never speak to you again. George Noble is worth a thousand of you," she said to the shame-faced Horace, as she stood with down-cast eyes upon the walk, "and as for you, Fanny, the fact that we have been friends from babyhood keeps me from saying all the things I might otherwise want to say to you. Learn this, though; if you ever get a hi an like George Noble, be sure you treat his as he ought to be treated, I am sorry I ever went skating with you." "Well said!" cried a manly voice behind her, and turning May ran straight into the arms of George Noble. And where had George been? After he had received 'May's hfisty note that afternoon he read it through several times; then, after some hesitation, he resolved to go and call upon May anyway. "I can visit her mother if she is not at home," said he. So, early in the evening George went to May's house and spent an hour with her mother. Leaving early, he happened to be parsing along the main street, when his attention was attracted by a sleigh which drew up at the" curb, while two ladies and a gentleman alighted. Something about one of them seemed strangely famiihir, and he took a step nearer to find out, that it was May. On the.wpy home May confessed all to George, except Horace's base part in the evening's work, but she told Mm enough tQ give him to understand that he had a faithul little fiancee in May Harte, and that hereafter s h e would not go skating with young ladies >\ho had brothers. So May blessed the day after all, for It taught her 4& value true love when she found it.—St. Louis Star ^t«w Ynu «4»ii 4%wi4 *>p*i«Mrt n . ' r » . Typhoid fever is usually contacted by way of the mouth, eating impure or poorly prepared food, or drinking impure drinks. The mistress of every home should take double her usual care to see that the food is thoroughly cooked, and the drinkables thoroughly purefled. The most common vehicle for the iransmissfoa of typhoid-fever germs is milk. Extra care should be taken to insure the-purity of the faSinily supply, and unless you know that i t i s handled properly seek another dairyman. Unless you know that the milk is all right be sure to boil all that goes on the table. Milk should never be kept in a n open vessel in the rcr frigerator, "because Tt absorbs aTT kinds of poison with remarkable rapidity, and is one of. the best natural culture media for disease germs. Being assured that everything you eat and drink is pure and wholesome, the next step is to watch your general health and see that you do not get "run down." Everyone takes into his system an untold number of ac'.ive disease germs every year, and the reason that they do not become ill is that they are in a condition to throw off the poisons. No man or woman in perfect health will contract typhoid fever, except under the most unfavorable circumstances,. and even then the disease will not get a firm hold on the constitution. On the other hand if one becomes debilliated he is liable to contract the disease no mate:1 hov/ careful he may be. Don't overstimulate. Drink srarringly of alcoholics and don't ttike things to increase your energy. Keep cool. Don't rush. Drink plenty of water only be rure of its purity, but avoid ice wat r in large quantities or when overheated. If possible take a cold sponge—not plunge—bath every morning. This will give tone to the system throughout the day. In order to keep vhe pores open, take one or two war.nl plunge baths a week. • Let the housewife see that every sink, drain, tub, if fact, everything about the kitchen and the yard is clean. Don't rely on antiseptics which destroys odors, but do not kill germs, as is generally. supposed. See that nothing is allowed to accumulate on the premises that will breed germs and there will be imnp. Have the cellar whitewashed throughout, and sprinkle lirne in all damn corners and around the back yard. Eat any kind of wholesome fcod that your taste dictates, and in such quantities as you know by-experience th.it you can digest. If you are afraid of the city water. get some other kind. Whatever watt r you drink don't be sparing with it It is hard lo drink to much waler, especially in hot weather. Remember that nine-tenth? . of tl^e precautionary measures are simply the application of the law, "Cleanlin-fs s next to goddliness." and keep . cieau, and keep everything clean. • * - * * - »11 11.•> . m i../11'r M W A B J * S2 •.9» •">'!)•* : * • m We the undersijgOfti druBflUU, offer a iesra/d ofM cttttsi*jM»j persott who purchase* ol as, two 25e bo*e» of Baxter* Mandrake pittera Tablets, if it fails to care constipation, biliousness, sick-headache, jaundice, Iocs of appetite, aour stomaobe, dfspepatiliver complaint, or any of the diseases for which it is recommended.

Fitzsimmons said all along thet when an opportunity presented itself he would prove conclusively that he was Sharkey's superior and settle accounts for the injtihtice done him when he met Sharkey in California four year ago. Sharkey was equally confident that lie would prove to be Fitzsimmons" master in the ring but the result of the battle and the brevity of it proved that Fitzsimmons is still a great tighter and able to beat t he best of the heavyweights. ^ CHINA WA* W«W$.' v . It was stated by members of the U. S. cabinet on the 21& that the Chinese establishment, instead of being a government, appears to be an enormous, headless affair, without knowledge of what is for its best good and without power to onforce its wishes. With tho recognized ruler in flight, no one seems to know who, is^^jhjpdy, if directing its affairs. As Chin A W an absolute monarchy, without any levislattve branch, the emperor and empress dowager are all-powerful, and practically they are the empire of China. Under the present remarkable corPditions, the United States will act w i t h extreme eau-tioh "trrwhatsver steps it may take toward a solution of the pending problems. In tho ineautimc, there is reason to believe that the United States and all the other powers interested will keep their armed forces on the ground, so that order may be maintained and, at least a semblance of stable government brought out of tho existiug chaos. Therefore the United States will not lend its aid to stop hostilities. The Chinese government on the 20th made formal application through Li Hung Chang, as its envoy, for the appointment of an American eomuiicsioner to bring about the cessation of hostilities in China and the restoration of general peace. This, coming since the capture of Pekiu, is the first showing of China's complete wc.irinesa with the struggle and her desire to make terms. The reply of the United States government has not yet been made known. The U. S. has taken the lead in replying to China that there will be no temporizing negotiations, and there, is every reason to believe the powers will be united in this same policy. The answer of the United States was quickly followed by similar actior on the part of (lennauy. They both rei fuse to enter into negotiation with Li Jiung Chang, believing his credentials are insufficient to empower him to act. The Japanese cavalry left. Pekin on the 20th in pursuit of the dowager empress and her court, according to telegrams from the north received at tflAKftVAAi* Itfsfst, Officer Shot and Killed Hi* Slayer. Dr. Arrington. of Platte county, Mo., near Hast Leavenworth,, on the 20th shot and killed James Wallace, a wealthy farmer, i n - a quarrel over a line fence. Arrington then went to the home of his mother-in-law, the widow of William Wallace, and deliberately shot her to tteatn. Arrington escaped in a wagon with his young daughter, but was pursued by Sheriff Dillingham and a'posse, who overtook him in a road near Farley. The murderer opened fire, fatally wounding Sheriff Dillingham in the breast. As the sheriff fell he shot Arrington through the heart. Tornado Cao*e* ¢300,000 Damage. A terrific wind storm struck Sheboygan, Wis., on the 20th, coming suddenly from the north. Eight large1 buildings were completely wrecked and 200 small houses were blown down, causing a loss of $300,000. At noon it was as dark as night and intensely hot. A fe;v moments before 1 o'^pek the the storm broke, iucrasing in force until it became a tornado. People were thrown down and fences and signs hurled hundreds of feet. The storm, which raged for only U) minutes, was two miles wide -and'wrecked everything in its path. Killed Hi* Wife and Three Children. Theodore Wallart, a farmer living three miles from Arlington, Minn., killed his wife, a boy of 10 years, a girl of lfi years and a baby, on the night of the 10th. He then set fire to the barn, destroying the stable w i t h nine horses, a corncrib and a full hay barn. Mrs. Wallart had been trying to secure a divorce, the couple having separated. Wallart entered the house through a window and slaughtered t h e family with the exception of one child, a boy, who w a s wounded, however, and will probably die. Wallart fled. Treaty.Signed With Spain* Minister Storer, at Madrid, informs the state department at Washington that a treaty of amity, commerce a n d . navigation and general intercourse has been signed provisionally by the minister of state and himself. This practically marks the last step in the c o m plete restoration of relations between Spain and the United States.^ It is reported that Fr. de Hets, a Lazarist missionary, with 0,000 con* verts held out for six weeks against 20,000 boxers armed with rifles and swords, in a small village 40 miles northwest of Tiaa Tain. Shanghai by Chinese ollieials. These dispatches aver that the empress and j her treasure train, protected by 5OT000' j troops, have..already arrived at Wu Tai San, in Shan Si .province. The Chinese situation developed little of importance on the 24th* It is stated frankly by the olUcials ivt the state, war and navy departments at Washington that no dispatches have been received bearing- «n the problem which has yet to be solved,-namely, the disposition of China's affairs at the hands of the powers. On the 23d l,r>00 Americans* attacked the Imperial palace at Pekin. and cwp-' tured four of the courts. The American flag is Hying over the imperial granary, and the imperial bank has been looted. The V. S. is opposed tf> any division of territory in China,- and every resource of diplomacy will be used, to prevent it. The work of the V. S. in China h a s been practically aeeomplisked, fjthe only obligation remaining is to restore peace.—— & nps? £*tms oerta^n that D e Wet, fin4i>yf i t bopelea* ^ make his way eastward, has recrossed the Wagalie*- v berg, with a few wounded, w i t h the intension of returning-.to the Orange River colony, He b i n a very different condition from that when he lcftiBetbelehem with s i s oreljjfht guaaand 2,000 men.

Kitchener, in spite of the fact that all the British wagons had double teams" of ptctced^ animals. T h e Boersevaded the British by marching at night over grounds known to them. while their pursuers were obliged to march in the daytime. The statement is published at Berlin that Creat Britain has paid 00,00) marks as damages to the owners-of the German bark Hans Wagner, which tho British unjustifiably retained in South African waters during tho early day* of the Transvaal war. Baden-Powell's forces put the Boers to plight in an engagement near Ham- | mauskrual ou the 2kst.

De Wet bivouacked 1> miles from that city, and that Col. Mahon was briskly engaging him oi* the 20th. ,/ As a result of two engagements with. the Boors near Vantersburg: recently, the British report that four officer* »and 24 men ore missing. It is stated that Stern with* a small. bodyguard has crossed PLnaar-s river, on his way to join Kruger at Machudodorp. In an engagement at VanWycksvlei,. 1.") miles south of Belfast, on the 21st, Bnller suffered 20 casualties. Lord Kitchener, after a forced march, has relieved Col. Hoare and the British, garrison at Elands river. According to Shanghai adyjees the Russians, Germans and Japanese have left Pekin in pursuit of tiie empress. The native Christians in northern China survived tho attacks upon theoi, but are now homeless and destitute. The U. S. will send no more troops to China unless conditions change. It is probable that American forees will remain in China all winter. 1,000 C. R*A Stranded in PMrla. Nearly 1.001» Christian Kndeavorers from the United States are stranded in Paris for lack of funds, after going through remarkable experiences. As stated by the Endcavorcrs, they each paid in advance to a Boston tourist agency a lump sum of several hundred dollars, which was to cover all the expeases of a 10-weeks trip to Europe, including steamboat bet ths, railroad fares in England, France, Switzerland, Italy and Germany, accommodations at hotels, carriage rides, etc. The tourist agency had chartered two North German Lloyd steamers to carry the Endeavorors to London, but just before the date set for their departure both vessels were destroyed by fire at Ho^oken. This delayed the prospective trip three weeks, as no other vessels could be secured, and by the time the delegates arrived on the continent they found the hotels crowded with visitors, and that the hotel landlords would not honor the coupons issued by the tourist agency on account of tbe delay. This, of course, necessitated the delegate* going down in .their pockets which caused all sorts of e n - barrassments and inconveniences, as they supposed -the expenses for the trip had been paid for lit advance, and in a great many cases what pocket money they had had been spent in one way or another. Dr. Hill, of Salem, a trustee of the Christian Endeavor society, attempts to minimize the importance of the affair, but admits that 980,000 were tied up; that the railway coupons .were out of date, and that the tourist agency has been compelled to refuse aid to the tourists. A I>^y of Riot In N>w York. A number of incipient race riots broke out in New York on the 20th, the direct cause being the shooting on the night of the 25th of John Brcnnan, a white messenger^ boy, aged 20, by John Davis, al(as N Lamplighter," w Negro. Breunart was one of a crowd of whites who taunted Davis and"i>ullets from the black's revolver lodged in his stomach arid chest, lie is in a hospital and likely to die.. A Victim of MM!practice.

Not the strictest purist <ra the earth <ould cavil at bis writing tb her. As ..he telt-^that Is, from %ls heart—so he wrote to her: ' ' M y Own Joyce: 1 am breaking my lelf-lmposed resolution to tell you that I am leaving England for Australia on the Condor, which sails next week. I cannot live this life any longer. Do ^ yjw know I come out at night just to look at the house that contains you? there Is n o joy for anything, ana 1 am afraid of breaking down under the strain. I must work, sweetheart; I must do something. Life is too hard. Joyce, I do not wish to see you again. IX I saw you again I should never leave you; but I must hear from you to know If you are well, dearest. I ou^ht io -say tp you that you should try and forgot mo, and be happy with bouio other man, but I cannot. It is tremendous selfishness on my part; but it would kill me if you were to look at another man. But it is not for that I am writing, but to tell you 1 am ioavlng. Your own ALAN. "When Joyce received this letter she ?at quite still- for a littlo time. She felt as if her heart must break when she thought of Alan. She knew what his unre3t meant; i;ho knew that if it v.cio possible that he could lay his bead against her shqulder, and feel be.' hand upon his brow, all his troubles would vanish. But this might not bo. Never again could they go through lh? agony of another parting, never asain would they look into each other's eyes end £G3 what it was costing them to walk the path of duty—the only way for them. But she—she must loos upon bis-faee—again. She would go rtown to Southampton,- and then she wou'd try and get a glimpse of his dear, face, so that she could s?e it-:- herself how he looked. She told no enc of her project. It ' v.as not a wise thine; to do, but it was u thing she must do. Veronica was resting in her room; their: ffr*. V ' **c Hferi life &t married people*/ whose strong•-' lore for eaea other le not stronger than their love of duty, and who did sot scruple to sacrifice everything they loved beet for what they knew to be right And as for Veronica's boy, he is like Joyce's own. Indeed, If anything, she spoils him more than her own .children. , "His mother saved your life, dear," she said once, in after days, when Alan expostulated with her, "and ho Veronica sprang-up from her chair) i s a dear boy, and be is yours, so you "•W S sa » the instant the hall door clanged after him. She knew he meant mischief to Alan. She kissed her boy many, many times before giving him in charge of his nurse. She was always loth to let him out of her sight; but today she almost telt as if she would never look upon him again. At the same_time she felt strangely happy, for it seemed as if at last she were able to do something for Alan. Alan had taken his seat in the train without thiaking mu;h cf leaving Ensland. It had ceased to be homo to him; he thought he might be happier when he was removed from the temptation of seeing Joyce, and when he might now and again hear from her. And as he sat. in the corner of his carriage he thought he saw a familiar figure pass. It was Hutchinson's clouch, but he did not think much about it. He pulled his cap over his eyes, and pretended to go to sleep; but although he kept his eyes shut no sleep came to him. Southampton, it seemed to him, was soon reached. He sot cut of the train and began collecting his belongings. He was turning to go when suddenly he heard the sound ci! a report and then a woman's cry. In an instant all was commotion. A woman had fallen close beside him —a dark-haired, slight woman. He rushed forward to help hci up. quite unconscious then that the shot that had been fired was meant for him, ar.d that the woman had intercepted it. He had a dim idea, to?, t i n t he saw Hutchinson slipping aw.?y som? where; but he, as well as every one c"^s^ was occupied by tnc fallen woman. His were the arms that' helped he-' up, and his were the eyes that recognized Veronica. "My Go:!!" he cried. And when' they r/!id "Do you know her?'" •ho* answered "Yes, and the shoe has killed her v.*as meant fOr me!" He carried her to a room near, and when he laid, her down the opo.aad he • ey< s and sriled. "I am s ) hippy," th> In Vast*. see I have three of the most excellent reasons for spoiling him." Hutchinson was never seen again. There was a hue-and-cry after him, but he was never fottnd. Whether he knew that the shot meant for Alan had been received by Veronica no one could tell. He disappeared, and Joyce and Alan were glad that it should be so. They had suffered so much that they wanted a little peace. Most of all, they did not want rev3ige. It was poor Veronica who bad paid the debt, and she had done it gladly, saying that it was "The Only Way." (The End.) the boy was with her. Mow she had j said, softly. "Alan. I never thought a nurse for him. and she had a pretty house and all comforts; but she looked more haggard than in the old 'days, when one cited out a miserable exigence by teaching. Then there w.-is something to live for, now she had nothing. She heard a tap at the dear that made her tremble. Hutchinson1 had been a frequent visitor lately—since she had been prosperous. His visits always left her poorer and sadder. She did not miud the money, having a ehild'sh ignorance on the subject; but she did mind the way he spoke of Alan. She prepared hersslf for battle when she heard his kneek. He came in, looking more bloated and excited than ever.—Lately ho had drank vevy heavily. Today • he was sober enough hut he looked more angry than he-had iUme of late. "So that fellow thinks ho is* going to elude me!" he said, as he came into the room; "but he makes a mistake!" Veronica turned pale. She knew he „ was speaking of Alan, and that ho was threatening him. "What do you mean?" &he asked boldly. "Do you mean to say that you don't know-that that precious .husband of yours means" to sail in the Condor on Friday? I dare say he wants to desert you, and to go off with that other woman!" "Alan would not do that," said Vera* nica, quickly. "However much he and she suffer, they will do nothing wrong." "I dare say he is a saint!'* sneered Hutchinson. "Well, he will have a chance of going to heaven quickly, for I've sworn to do for him, and this is my la81 chance!" Veronica listened. Hutchinson had spoken like this before, and it had come to nothing: still, it was possible that he might be desperate now. He looked- it, and if he meant mischief to Alan she must warn him. Not a hair of Alan's dear head should fall by this man's hand. Still, she knew that she must not let Hutchinson suspect that she was on the alert. "So be sails on Friday?" she said quietly. "From Southampton, is it not? He wrote to wish me good-by." "It will be a longer good-by than he knows of," said the man. "Lend me two pounds. Veronica." Veronica hesitated. He might be asking for money in order to kill her husband; but she had often lent him ynoney before, so she rose slowly and went to 'the writing table and took it cut. "1 suppose he has made a settlement upon you?" he asked, with cunning leer. And poor Veronica, falling into (he* trap, answered. "Yea." "Then it's all right," he uaid, and went out. to feel your arms round -me again." "Veronica." he said, ramcrvjefu^ly. "I would gladly have given my life if tin-; had not happened!" "I know it," she said, "but think CL me for one instant, Alan. You sfe, 1 love you, darling-. I am dying, S J that j it does not matter, and my life iniule you unhappy. P,y dying fur you I make you and her happy. It. is tho only way, Alan—the only way." "But. Veronica——'* he nr^ed. :»ut she would not let him sue:tk. "I don't think 1 have long, dear.

Oh, that il will not matter, except for the boy.—But I know you and-she will be good to him. I bin:.1:1 have-liked toTiaTe s:?^i him just oi.ee r.gain.

Th£< happiest .moment of my life was fvhen I felt that I might die for ycu." "veronica," he said, touched to th:- heart, "I don't deserve it—indeed 1 don't!" "You see," she went on, "I made you so unhappy by living—it is the only way." And when the doct.:r,came a few moments after Alan could see there was no hope. The bullet had pierced her side, and she was bleeding internally. She fell into a state of semi-conscious.- ness; but toward3 midnight she opened her eyes suddenly. "Kiss me, Alan," s"he said, "and love my boy." " . And whilst hiB lips touched hers her spirit passed away. Joyce, waiting at the docks for a glimpse of the man she loved, saw the great vessel glide out to sea without him. Something must have happened to delay him, she ttiought! Full of fear and anxiety, she returned home, wondering what had detained him: but the next day she had a telegram with these words: "Veronica died last night. I am coming at once." And then sne knew that something serious had occurred. Alan came to her, chastened, greyhaired; but still Alan. And when he told her the simple, touching story of poor Veronica's self-sacrifice and death they wept together. And Joyce resolved then and there to be a good and loving mother to Alan and Veronica's boy, which vow she nobly kept. Indeed, there was nothing stepmotherly about Joyce, and she could say truly that she had had nothing but pity for poor Veronica, even whilst she was keeping Alan and herself apart. Alan lost no time in marrying Joyce again. "They had suffered so much." he said, "there Was no need to prolong their suffering." Now, indeed. W I N T E R A M O N G ICEBERGS. An Of«gonlan Says T.iat t h e Kxperlences Are Not Uuplcasaut. James Poole, formerly a Portland real estate man, has returned from the North, after two years' absence, a portion of which time he was locked in the ice on the shores of Kotzebue pound. He lefc here in June, 1898, en beard the schooner General Mcpherson. Mr. Poole's venture in the north has not proved a profitable one, as; he left Nome/ ten days before the gold-beach excitement broke out, and has not found it convenient to return to. that poiiu, while .Kotzebue, he says,, has proved a delvsion and a snare. About SCO adventurers wintered at Kotzebue after the rush thither, but. the place .'is now deserted, ex^'.pt by a few hundred Eskimos, whose regular win^r quarter* are in the sheltered nooks near by. .He says the report cf Kotzeoue's rich diggings arose 1'iom the fact that th? aborigines nan bartered nuggets for food and -cio;hing with the captains of willing vessels visiiiug ti-.-u- region, b-t the gold evidently had been picked up on the shores cf Nome, to the southward .-;o;r>o 500 n.iles.

The Genaral McPheison's decks, were roofed over in the f.ll with lumber brought frova Poland, and this gave .her .the appearance of a house surrounded by t-liiiionary iceberg;.'

From his acquaintance wirh the Eski- Uips of that region. Mr. Poole judges They had been discussing a new novel which dealt with a hero with a past. "I think if she had really loved him she would have been willing to accept his past without any question/' she said. "Would you?" he asked. "Why, yes—if I loved him. What's the good" of prying into an the nooks and corners of the years that have gone in a man's life? They are gone, and you can't help them or undo them or—or—anything, and if ghosts can sleep, where is the comfort in starting them to walking about? But"—suddenly facing about—"I don't believe in one privilege for a man ar.d none for a woman. If a woraau takes a man's past without a question, then he has no right to stir up her gh03ts, you know. I believe in fair play at any rate." "But you know," he said, "good women have no pasts." "But good men may have, eh?" she asked. "Well, it is the same old story—a man may be a fool in his folly and yet be good, but let a woman be never so little a fool in her folly, and. lo, she isn't good a bit."' "I didn't say that," he answered, looking Indignantly down at her flushed cheeks, "and I believe I like you best when you champion your sex. Go on, dear. You are very pretty today." But she only looked down at the toe of her shoe and said nothing.

They live by fishing in the summer season, putting up large quantities of the salmon, which abound in great numbers in the streams. This diied salmon and what grouse they manage to snare in winter form the bulk of their food. They heartily rejish the white man's flour, however, and are willing to part with their own product a t a sacrifice in order to obtain it. In speaking of the adventurers attracted to the far north by the reports of rich gold mines, Mr. Poole said the proportion of tbosa who lost their lives by shipwreck, hardship and scurvy would be appalling if the figures could ever bn known.—Portland Oregonian. Robert or George. The legitimist Jacobite league of Great Britain and Ireland, through Registrar Rodwaye of the North American Cycle of the Order of the White Rose, Roxbury, Mass., has issued a circular to the faithful, asking. "Who has the best right" (as heir to the British thrjone), "Robert or George?" "Robert" is the son of Princess Mary Theresa of Modena. now the Princess Louise of Bavaria, who is styled by the legitimists Mary IV. (of Scotland) and 111. (cf England), whose descent from the male line of the Stuarts is undeniable, but whose ancestral claims to the throne were set aside by the act of succession that excluded Catholics from the crown, 'George'* is the duke of York, so that it is evident that "the legitimist Jacobite league" admits Queen Victoria and the prince of Wales.

"Sweetheart," he .?aid \ in a low voice, "we have no question to ask. no ghests to walk a»bo;u. We can safely take each other's 'pasts,' so let's be happy in our present."

Tonight they were both very quiet; he, looking over her head into the coals that glowed and flashed and flickered like the moods of a human .soul: she, with her elbow on his knee and her eyes half shut behind her open palm. "You are no still, dear,'' he said. "What is-it?" "Nothing," sard -she, without moving. "I must have been far away, for I can- "hot recall or wfiat I was thinking.

The bare shadow of a frown passed over the brow of the man. "Knowing there is no possibility that I shall ever be called on to 'forgive,'*' he said, stiffly, "I don't see why we need dlscuss the probability of such a t h i n g - do you?" The woman laughed—a funny, little, forced laugh. "We are very silly— that is, I am,"' she corrected. "I find myself wondering what you would do> or what I would if such and such werethe case,.. It is very absurd, even t o think about, isn't'it?" "Very," he agreed promptly. **Therebeing nothing to 'forgive,' how could I 'forgive,' and how do you know whether I would or net if there were?" She did not answer. By and by s h e said a littl3 timidly, "I almost wish, dear, there was something I conld 'forgive' you." He reached over, a little impatiently, and poked the grate. Then he stood up and faced her with a dark flush on his face, "I heard," he said, "that a woman was never satisfied unless a man had some blot on his life. I never expected, however, that you would find fault with a clean escutcheon." The tone was as cutting as the worUs. It was the first tone she had ever heard him aildress to her that had not a caress. She grcwypp.Ie and dropped over the chair back like some suddenly rtris'kFn creature. In an instant he was beside her. all repentance. "I was a brute, dear. Now you have something to forgive." An hour Is tor, after t h e ' gas. was lighted and they had read a little and talked a little upon indifferent subjects, she. with her mental equipoise fully restored, quoted softly, " "Let hicr that thinketh he staudeth take heed te^t he fall/ Dear, I am afraid we came dan^'iiously near to our 'pasts* tonight." The man locked *sober and said. "That's enough," but when the woman, now thoroughly mistress of the situation, laughed and teasingly asked.

I Remarkable Forecast 20 Years Ago of i Present Events in China, There was probably no European more qualified to express an opinion on the Chinese than CoL Gordon, more commonly called Chinese Gordon, whose strange career closed at Khartoum in January. "1885. His militaryyears from 1S63 to 1865, when he com manded the Ever Victorious Army, as it was styled, gave' him a unique experience of the Chinese and an insight into <heir somewhat complex character. In 1880 Gordon said of the Chinese that they had no fear of death, though he had seep, them at times fleeing like sheep. But what Europeans would have to consider in future dealings with that people was, he added, the awful consequences of a general movement, when least expected, in the vast Inert masses of hundreds of- millions of men to overwhelm the foreign devils, whom they hate like poison. The danger of such an outburst, Gordon said, became greater every year on account of the' way the Chi- Of one thing Gordon felt quite sure.

Speaking of the authorities, Gordon said a Mandarin was sever to t e trusted, and he was only too glad when he, left their service. The lish, in his opinion, made the take of thinking they were welcome wherever they went, hut in 15 or 26 years they would find proof to t h e contrary. With all their tions, their vices and their the Chinese were, in Gordon's tion, far too good to be ruled by t h e class that governed, them.

Tbe Portage Lake Cottage Association are contemplating securing the entire lake shore by puchasing for several thousand dollars the Cobb property. The cottagers hold their land on 10-year leases, and they figure tha. if the are to be permanent occupants it will be the cheapest and most satisfactory course to buy the land they occupy and enough more to make the lake a semi-private affair. If the purchase is made extensive improy ements will be put into effect, with the idea of converting the place into an ideal summer home. The association has an option on the Cobb property, and they will probably arrive at a decision this week.—Dexter Leader. It's Surprising How cheaply we sell our proprietary medicines.

At Monroe was Narrowly Averted—Some Bag**** was Thrown luto the River by the Crash—A Muskegon Eieetrl- *!•« Nearly Shocked to DwUh. _ Tecnmseh Visited by Itarglars. The gang of safe blowers that has been working; in Michigan for the past six months paid Tecumseh village a visit on the night of the 27th. They forced an entrance into the ofTicc of the Xtaj'den mill and blew open the safe. The charge of dynamite used was a heavy one, and the big- safe was torn into a thousand pieces. One end of the office was blown out. There were SftO in the inside money chest and this was not reached by the burglars. The currency was badly charred from the heat of the exploding- dynamite. The gang also blew open the safe in Thomas Elliott's blacksmith shop, but bccured nothing but a bank book. The cracksmen then visited the farm of John D. Shull, located one mile east of the Hay den mill and stole a horse and buggy. They also stole a handcar from the Lima Northern railroad .station, and made good their escape. Weekly Crop UuUetla The weekly crop bulletin- issued onthe 28th says: The 'mean dally toraperature for the wcok ending August 25,' was 72.0 degrees, or 0.0 degrees above normal; average total precipitation, 1.33 inches, or 0.S3 of inch abovo normal; sunshine averaged 43 per cent of the possible amount. High temperatures, heavy rainfall, considerable cloudiness and much high wind have characterized the weather of the past week. The warm, moist weather has been very beneficial to corn, potatoes, buckwheat, sugar beets and pastures. -Hetrvy rains have greatly delayed[the""***'are ****»*? b a d t y e a t e n b v worms, A Prosperous Village* Four years ago Aug. 23 the village of Ontonagon was destroyed by fire, 344 building being consumed by the hungry flames and over 2,0()0 people being left homeless in less than two hours. Now at the end of four vears the village has a population of close to 1,500, water works, electric lights, a telephone exchange, three industries giving employment to many hands, and nearly as many buildings and business houses as before the fire. Thirty new dwellings and residences, besides 10 new business houses, have gone up within the past year. In addition to this, two new saw mills are already built, while a new high sehool building and a new county infirmary are now in course of construction. i , That Sat*' Bounty LAW. I n a supplemental brief filed in the supreme court on Aug. 30 H. H. Hatch, of Detroit, attorney for the Michigan Sugar company in its suit to collect beet sugar bounty claimed to be due from the state, takes the ground that the .state is morally bound to pay the bounty under the promise contained in the bounty law of 1897. He holds that for the state to go back on its implied .promise to pay a bounty for seven years would be to disgrace and besmirch its reputation, and that nothing short of absolute bankruptcy would release a private individual from his obligations under the same circumstances. A Wreck on the M. C. Narrowly Averted. A terribly wreck w a s narrowly averted on the Michigan-Central bridge over the Basin river at Monroe on the night of the 28th. A passenger train was pulling into that place from the north, when the engine struck the rear end of an extra freight train which was on the bridge. The passenger train was heavily loaded, many passengers being compelled to ride standing. When the collision occurred pandemonium reigned. The engineer set the air brakes so suddenly that the passengers were Scattered all over the cars, and considerable baggage was lost into the river out of the baggage car door. No fatalities occurred. Galesoarjrers are Fnzzleri. While workingmen were digging for "building sand by the roadside, a mile north of Galesburg recently, they came upon a mass of some substance of an oily consistency and estimated to'weigh COO or 700 pounds. It was at tirst thought that the formation was the result of some chemical freak in the soil. but on close examination it was ascertained that the substance closely resembled butter, both in appearance and taste, and now Mr. Savers, the owner of the adjoining property, recollects burying a Jersey COM', which died from milk fearer, on the spot some 10 years ago. The matter is a local puzz/ic. harvesting of oats, peas and spring wheat in the upper pcuinsuja and in many cases have sprouted grain in the shock, thus doinu considerable damage. In the lower peninsula high winds have blown down much fruit and flattened considerable corn. On the whole, the week has been generally favorable in central and southern counties for the progress of field work and maturity of outstanding crops. Corn has made wonderful progress and is generally very promising. Some blight to late j>otatoes is reported, but generally they are in line condition. Beans have improved slightly and are about ready to pull in southern and central counties, but indicate a light crop Buckwheat has improved, but on the whole is not well filled. Sugar beets continue to make fine growth and a good crop seems assured. Pasturage is much bettor than is usual in August. Reports regarding apples vary greatly. They have dropped more than'usual and hlyh winds have blown down considerable fruit. Some correspondents report prospects fair, other very poor A concensus of opinion indicates a very fair yield of fall apples, especially in some of the western counties and a poor to rather light yield of winter apples. The ample rain fall has put the ground in tine condition for plowing, which is well advanced in the central and southern counties and generally begun—in- the ether sections of the state. In the southern counties much ground has been fitted for seeding, and in a few cases some rye has been sown. — — • — • — Plunged Through a Drawbridge. Two locomotives and three refrigerator cars attached to a fast eastern freight on the Wabash railroad took a plunge into the River Rouge, near the drawbridge in Delray, on the morning of the 31st. The engines are completely submerged in the soft, sticky mud for which the Rouge is noted. It was very foggy as the train bowled along toward Detroit and the engineers were running their engines under check, looking for accidents. The, drawbridge had been swung open to allow the passage of a boat. Under the rnles of the railroad company the engineers are supposed to bring their trains to a full stop 100 yards from the bridge and wait there until they g e t the signal from the bridge tenders to proceed. A 1i«rolc l>eed. While adjusting so'inv brushes to a dynamo in the Muskegon Wectric Co.'s plant, at Muskegon, on the night of the r.'rtth,—Walter Krobb*,—an electrician, Burglars broke into the postoiflee at Lake Odessa, blew open the safe and escaped with a small amount of booty. J as. Crandcll, of near Bad Axe, threshed 310 bushels of wheat from eight acres, a yield of 4¾.1¾ bushels to the acre. The .list annual reunion of tho 5th Michigan Veteran Volunteer association will be held at Farmlngtou, September 10. The eorn crop in tho vicinity of Flat Rock will be the finest in a number of years. • Early potatoes are a good crop, By President McWnley as Arbitrators. ** THE U, S.

Both-were rendered uncon Burglars secured between 82,500 and §3,000 by cracking the safe in the St. Joseph postotHee on the night of tho 28th. About 31,300- of the amount was iu er.sh. An effort is being made to raise a sut!icient sum among Jackson capitalists to purchase the local street railway, which is in the hands of a receiver. The frequent rains are seriously injuring the bean crop in tho vicinity of Brighton, one farmer having turned his crop over 12 times to dry and it is still wet. Growers around Highland Station cannot pick their cucumbers fast enough to keep them from growing too* large | for the pickle factory's use, so heavy is j the yield. j The skunk farm near Burr Oak now i has some (l(7o skunks on it. The citi- | zens of that place always hold their noses when the wind blows from a certain direction. Threshing is in operation in the vicinity of Springport. Wheat averages from f> to S bushels to the acre and oats from ;">0 to GO. Barlej' is reported as being an excellent crop. Notwithstanding-Onaway is situated in the greatest timber belt in Michigan, work had to be stopped on a certain new frame building in course of erection there for lack of material. The new parochial school at Bronson is about completed. It is three stories high, of handsome red brick and stone and makes a fine addition to the village. The cost will be about 812,000. It is said that Camden's village charter is defective and that the ordinances passed by the council are not valid. Persons who have paid tines under the ordinances threaten to bring suit to recover. » This was the wettest August ever experienced in many parts of Michigan. Corn,- late potatoes, beans and all late vegetables are flourishing; but oats are rotting in the fields and wheat stacks are green. August 31 was the last chance fishermen will have for eight months to go after the wily trout; that is, to do it legally. The open season ends with August, and the rods should be put away for a long rest. Smallpox exists at five places in Michigan, there being one case in Adams township, Ingham county, one at Cass City, three at Houghton, one at Lake Linden and two in Nottowa township, Isabella county.

Chicago Taken by the O. A. B. The 27th was a busy and hustling day for Chicago, and encampment week was formally inaugurated with the sparkle and racket of tho opening of a colossal bottle of champagne; Chicago is welcoming the old soldiers with music of bands, dazzling illuminations, flags and street pageants, and the veterans are beginuingtoknow the warmth and boundlessness of the city's hospitality. The vanguard of the'"Boys in Blue" has passed into the town with bauds and banners, and from morning until midnight the crowded streets echoed to martial strains and the tramp of feet as the visiting posts marched to their quarters.

"And I had no idea that t possessed so many things.** _*'You %hef been these four years hero," said the German governess kindly, "and you spend much money, bad child! But they will be pleased to see r o u home—o—h. yes!" ""I don't know who will be pleased, I am sure," returned Mollie, with a iigh, "for there is only ray half-sister Kate." "Ach himracl! Well, she is tro doubt looking forward to your return. She is older than you—wiser?" **Sh« is ten years old," interrupted the sirit sitting down on the edge of the bed, and regarding the well meaning FrauMn gloomily. "When I last saw her she was about six. and my -stepfather spoilt her shamefully.'" "What? With whom will you lif then, mine Mollic? With the stepfather?" "Oh, no:; lie died twelve months ago. I shall live at Chalfont House, the property of my half-sister, Kate, with her, .and her aunt, Madame Debois." "Ach, a French lady!" "No, but she married a Frenchman. She is now a widow with one son, and after my mother's death she went to keep .house i o r her brother, Mr. Barlowe.'' "Thy stepfather?" '1 never called him that/' And a Etrange look of scorn and bitterness swept over the^girl's pretty, glowing face. "It is wrong to hate any one— but 'I hated him living, and I find it hard not to hate him dead." "So, so, the Bible teils us to hate no man," reproved the governess, with a placid shake of her head, as she began to" fold up some of her favorite pupil's clothes. "And I try not to do so; 1 pray every night to forgive him," burst forth .Mollie in a shaking voice, ' b u t he separated me from ray mother; he did not make her happy—" £he paueed abruptly, conscious how impossible it was to make the solid Fraulein understand that the wrongs that were rankling in her, mind had grown with her growth, and becomo part of her life; and, as a rosy-cheeked German maid entered at the same moment and announced that she had been sent to assist Frauloin I.'Estrange to pack, nothing more was said. For Four years MQhic L'Eati'aiigu had been left at Frau Seckendorf's school in Hanover, without cmee. returning t o England, without any one coming to see her. But she had been \very happy, for sho had naturally a merry, buoyant disposition, and was the pet and favorite .of the school establishment, from the grave,, kindly Fraxi herself .downwards. Then she was liberally supplied with pocket money by her father's trustees, generously paid for in every way, while Frau' Scckendorf had carte blanche to do everything for her amusement in the holidays, and the time had gone "so fast that Mollic could hardly believe she was nearly nineteen, and that a few days would sec her once more in her native land. Ah. that dear nat^-e land! How often in her dreams h&d idie F,eea it as it would be looking now, with the first faint breath of spring rustling through the bare, brown branches, the leaves sprouting In the heugerows, the violet* peeping forth from some sheltered nook! Yes, though there was no one now in the house where she wa3 born to welcome her home with affection, h would be something to be in England in the sweet spring time, to gather violets and primroses in the well remembered woe as and fields around Reverton. The packing was accomplished at last, more by the Frauiein's and Liza's exertions than her own, for the girl was restless and excited, torn by conflicting feelings, sorry to bid farewell to quaint old Hanover, and all those who had been so kind to her since •he came there,—a pale, motherless child of fourteen—yet anxious to .rush into the future, to see what it held in store for her. S o . w h e n the trunks were shut and Liza had departed with her arms full of the gifts s*e had bestowed upon her, Mollie nwde her way with unusual aedatenew to Frau Seckendorfs private apartments. Since the girls of her own age had left one by one, and she t«.d outgrown the clcss room-', I she had been promoted t « the use of tfiese salons, and taken out to concerts, theaters, and coffee parties by the good Frau, w h o was secretly immensely proud of tne pretty, welldressed English heiress confided to her care, and watched over her with a vigilant eye; and Mollie looked round them with a friendly glance, and a sigh at the thought that after tomorrow she should see them no more. The duslt was falling fast; it was difficult to sec the houses across the wide street, and as she stood by the porcelain stove, warming her cold little finders, her thoughts went back to her childhood days as Ihey had not done for a long time, and scene after scene seemed to rise before her. Mollie could not remember her father at all, for he had died when she was but a few months old, but her pretty young mother had been her playfellow, and until her sixth year, her constant companion. Then came the days when a tall, dark man was always with her mother, and that dearly loved parent was somehow not the same to her, while the dark man used to bring her sweets, and smile grimly when she put her hands behind her back, and refused to accept them. Yes, from the very first Mqllie had disliked and distrusted Leonard Barlowe, and he had cordially returned the feeling. With her mother's second marriage all her troubles began, and the child would often sob hers?lf to sleep at night, feeling neglected and forlorn, missing the tender voie.e, the lullaby ever since she could remember. Afterwards Mollie grew to know that her mother had not forgotten her, but that her stepfather, jealous and morose, resented even the affection she bestowed to her own child, and timid and clinging by nature, she had not the strength of character to oppose him in any way. Mollie was sent to school soon after the birth of her half-sister, Kate, and though she spent the holidays at home, Chalfont House was never the same place again. Looking at the past through the softening vista of time. Mollie knew that her woes had not been imaginary. She would have been fond enough of the little usurper, who seemed'to have pushed.her out of her place, had she been allowed, for she was neither jealous nor revengeful; but Mr. Barlowe. while spoiling Kate until she was unbearable, resented th<_\!cast attcr/. ion shown to Mollie. and the nolidays had been misery, school a" refuge. She gradually grew to knowthat her .lother way miserable, that she only dare caress her in vudvate and that she feared her handsome dark husband mere ihar she loved l*!m. . How well she remembered the las' time she had any tilk with her mother! It was the night bjfore her return to school, and her mother came into her room as she was preparing for bed. and, closing the door, took her into her arms as if she were a baby again, kissed and cried over her in a passionate, heart-broken way, saying that whatever happened to the future, she must never doubt her poor .mother's love, that save-her dead father, no one was so precious to her, no one; and that her last thought and prayer would be for her own Mollie. It WAS not until her death a few mouths later lhat Mollie understood what she meant, Chalfont and a good income bad been Mrs. Barlowc's private property.- and she left them to her husband for his lifetime, and then to her daughter Kate, no mention being made of her elder child, save that, failing them, she would be her heiress. This had not been her mother's wish—Mollic knew a s well as if. she had been told—-and the fierce anger burned in her heart, not for the loss of the property, bnt for what Mr. Barlowe had made her mother suffer. Oh, how she hated him as she saw his fine eyes roving with an air of proprietorship round her mother's room! In her childish heart she felt that he had got what h e had schemed for, and it mattered little to him that he had ruined her mother's and Iher life to obtain it. / They lived at open warfare during the months before she was sent to Hanover; and it was an additional blow tofind that he had constituted h l m s e l r h e r guardian in her mother's place. His motive was not far to seek. Mollie was her father's* heiress, and though he could not. touch the principc- L a hszdscme sl.'owsjise wrs K\*.* for the -ear* of Colonel t'Jbtra&geft daughter/ ••• f And now be, £00, was dead/and t h e was' going back t o Hv$ a t Chalfont House wtto- her little half-sister and Madam Dubois! Were brighter times coming, s h e wondered, as, i n company with the English governess, she ones more s e t foot on her native land, or was Madame Dubois but a repetition of Leonard Barlowe? St was a bleak March day when the governess put her charge into a first class carriage a t one of the great L o s - don stations, and reluctantly bade her farewell, after carefully scertnlning that two elderly ladies in the further corner were going the same Journey, and< Reverton would be reached in little over an hour, where Madame Dubois was sure to be at the station. So she kissed the pet and pride of Frau Seckendorfs scfiool with tearful eyes, atnd hurried away to catch her own train, while Mollie sank back in the corner of her carriage, sorry tD part with her last friend, yet excited at the prospect before her. For a little while she occupied herself in watching one familiar object after another appear, as the express left t h e chimneys behind and rushed tnrough the green country. It even amused her to see the great open fires in the waiting rooms once more as they flashed through the stations. Then she suddenly became aware that the two ladies were talking very hard, and she heard her own name. "You will find Reverton looking much the same, Louise," the elder wassaying. "The people alter, but not the place. Why, you have net been here since the year poor Mrs. L'Estrange married Mr. Barlowe, have you?" . "No; how pretty she was! I know no one liked him; you thought him an adventurer. What has he done since her death?" "Oh, he feathered his nest well— got the whole of her property for himself and his wretched little girl, to the exclusion of the elder child! Every one knew that his poor wife was horribly afraid of him, and he had.it all his own way. Well, I must not say more, for he was hurried to his account with all his sins upon his head. and no time to repent him of his wickedness." "What do you mean?" "Did you not see it in the papers? It was the talk of Reverton! He was found murdered in his study nearly twelve months ago. Yes, I remember,, it was on Easter Sunday.'' "Murdered?" ecuoed the other blankly, "That handsome man? Who did it?" "It has never been found out." 18 Jk BBAYE SOMMBfi COL. 4ACO» H.

HAS SURPRISED PARIS. CHAPTER II. Murdered! Could this awful word, so full of terrible meaning, apply to her stepfather, who she had last sesn standing at the door of Chalfont House, full of life and health," holding the fretful Kate by the hand? Molliv sat up and turned hastily to the tyro ladies, the color fading from her face. •'My name is L'Estrange." she stammered nervously, looking from on.2 to the other. "I am' Mrs. B^rlovre's eldest daughter. I thought I ought t<; tell yon 1 1 -flirt not know that ho died like that; no one told me. Are you sure?" Mollie could see the ladies were gazmarks; but she was too pager JO learn the iruih to mind that, or anything else. Why had. she been allowed to 1 oome' home in ignorance of "the tragedy that hung undiscovered over Chalfont House? In the pause- before any one spoke she v.as not conscious c.' feeling a r t aw row for her dead stepfather, nor had these la'ies expressed any; but she d.d fcel a thrill of horror at the thousht of the c:ime that, had been committed in the houee where she was b o r n - h e r mother's house— and could not repress a shudder. Then. the first lady got up, and, coming over, sat down heavily in the scat opposite to her. "I am heartily sorry you have heard me, my dear? she said kindly. "It is a lesson to me not to talk of ray neighbors in the train. But arc you really Amy Barlowo's child? Yes. looking at you, I can see your dear father. Your parents were my dearest friends. You do not remember me, but surely you have not forgotten Reggie and Joyce?" Mollie started, and, leaning forward, ttu?»ed her beautiful, miserable grey eyes on the speaker with dawning recj oznition. "Yes—yes, I do now." she cried. "You are Mrs. Anstruther; you live in that pretty white house near the church. Oh, Mrs. Anstruther, about tnis dreadful thing about Mr. Barlowe. Madame Dubois wrote that he died suddenly, and she was now my guardian; but how did it happen? Why was I not told?" And she glanced imploringly at the pleasant motherly face now regarding her with a troubled frown. (To be continued.) BRIG. GEN.

It was Due of thqse decisive moments vv'hlch sometimes save a battle.

Srsith has secured some notable triumphs in the Philippines. In November, with two battnlions of the. Seventeenth infantry, he captured Magalong. taking a number of prisoners and a lot of insurgent transportation. And in the latter part of April Gen. Smith distinguishedr-himself by the capture of the well-known Filipino leader, Gen. Montenegro, with 180 officers and men. Montenegro was sent to Manila to be presented to Gen, Otis, and i.s now "amigo." One adventure of Gen. Smith had a rather' larger clement of romance and personal danger about it.

In short, t h e society of the French capital has u o greater lion than Tom Walsh. That the \ .ilshes are not endeavoring simply to get into society by their lavish expenditures i s evidenced by the fact that no particular class of society attends. All—high and low and between— arc made to feel welcome, and in doing the honors, Tom Walsh derives his chief pleasure. Mr. Walsh is immensely wealthy. His success can hardly be attributable to luck, but rather t o his own h a j ^ work and enterprise. He has never had any sympathy with idleness, having continually recognized the dignity and deserts of honest labor. He w a s born in Tipporary, Ireland, in 1851, where, after receiving a fair education, he worked for several years a» a millwright. He came to America and settled in 1870 at Worcester* Mass., for a few years. Then he went to Colorado, and was a carpenter ami building contractor at the new campof Central City. He had always bcen> interested in mining, and from this time on he began to study up the subject during his spare time. He was fortunate, and eventually struck it rich. TJow he is owner of a m i n e which he refused to sell a short timesinc^- for $35,<W0,OOO. His income isapproximated at $100,000 a month. The friends of h i s poorer days a r e not neglected now that wealth h a s come to Mr. Walsh and his charity and friendly loans—or gifts—are known to many of his old associates. Mrs. Walsh's health failed three years ago, and she was advised to try a lower altitude. It was then that h e concluded to go to Washington, where he purchased a most luxurious home. itaolf his h,v.Tio for a t!fst.i, intending to have the house surrounded an;l th« colonel captured.

U ANDREWS - EDITOR. rHUfiSDAY^SEP'T. 6, 1900. Here Ttey 4 re. Tate Your XJuiU^ An Interesting Letter. a • .*•• \"<' Ballard, Wash., Aug. 1900 F. L. Andrews, Pinckney, Mich. Thinking perhaps it would be of interest to you also to the^ readers of the D I S - PATCH to have a description of my trip west, also of the country here. I will endeavor In a way, which I confess will be a poor one, to tell you about it: The places of interest, Wonderland etc. in Detroit are familiar to us all. • That noble boat, * 'North L a n d " which is due at the First street dock at 4 p. m. was on time This great boat is nearly 400 feet long and about 45 feet wide, its engines are 7,000 horse power and she steams 22 miles an hour. She left Detroit at 4:30 p. m. with fully 400 passengers aboard- The trip aloug the St. Clair flats was full of interest. By dark we were well up Lake St. Clair, passing Pt. Huron in the night we were near Saginaw Bay, the next morning when I came ou deck and with about 30 great white sea gulls following in the wake of t h e boat. A little before noon we landed at Mackinac Island which is certainly a beautiful summer resort. After a short stop here we beaded again to the north and s p e n t the afternoon on the picturesque St. Mary's river with its numerous islands, bays, etc. In the evening we steamed up to the wharf of Northern Michigan's most beautiful city, Sault Ste Marie. We went into the great Canal locks at 7:30 p. m. together with four lines. There we were, apparently in a great dreary prison, with cold black walls looming up for 25ft. The gate was closed, in 30 minutes we were raised way above the walls, and the beautiful parks lay before us, with thousands of people bathing in the moonlight. We will wager that the Divines at the Soo would have these boats pass at some other hour, for evidently all the church goers as well as the pleasure seeker were at the dock. About' half-way up St. Mary's River we met and saluted the North West, sister boat of the Nort Land on her return. The tonage passing through St. Mary's Canal during the season's navigation is three times that of the famous Suez Canal which is open all the year. "We .saw a young fellow the W e w e r e soon on Lake Superother day," says an exchange, "in- i o r a n d o n Monday morning I was sist on carrying a young lady's g l a d t o g o t o t h e baggage room, parasol which seemed to tax her | w h i c h i g k e p t o p e n a t ftU ^ strength greatly, just then, to g e £ m y o v e r c o a t | p u t it on before permit the freedom of her hands ! t a k i u g a promanade on deck.

Oocasionlly a house is seen without any trees, and it looks dreary indeed. This sort of scenery continued until we were far along into Montana. We passed through the famous Lake Park reigon Minnesota, also by Devils Lake in N. D. which is the largest body of water an the plains east of the Rockies. We passed for miles through the valley of the Missouri River. At Minot N. D. our watches were changed 1 hour, from central to Montana time. The first placVin Montana we passed was Ardeu. F o r 180 miles we followed the Milk River which flows into t h e Missouri at Glasgow Montana at Galate Montana, 1038 miles from St. Paul. The first view of the Rockies is to be had 115 miles away. Along through these parts I saw vast herds of cattle and sheep. Some flocks of sheep numbering from 3000 to 4000 head, also one drove of cattlo of more than-400. I was told that a man afoot was not safe near there. The trip over the Rockies and do w n i n toik&ff-1 at he-ad—VaUeyis an everchauging panorama splendid views. As wo entered the Rockies we passed over a trestle 286 ft. high, at Summit were at ,«u elevation 5202 ft. From Blackfoot to Kelispell a distance of 109 miles, we were in plain sight. As we were coming out of the mountains on this side a thunder storm came u p and only those who have heard thunfinished will deprive this p a r t i c u - lar place of much of its romatio features. AH the way to Eve ret the cou-n try is mountainous and rough following river valleys and winding passes. At Everet the first smell water, from the Hound is t o be had. At Everet we met the overland from Seattle on her way to St, Paul. T h e rest of the way to Ballard the railroad ran along or across the tide flats of t h e Sound. At 10 p. m. I arrived at my destination thoroughly tired but well pleased with the route I selected. If agreeable at some future period I will endeavor to tell you some things of interest about this state, which is, I firmly believe the most promising in th** West. Ever kindly, H e r m a n S.

The scouts had been coming for a week, the skirmish linp came Saturday, the advance guard fell upon the city Sunday and all Sunday night the main army, 30,000 strong, was rushing forward. Twenty thousand old men who knew about weather and war overran the streets and parkc Sunday. Dressed in army blue, with badges splendid only in the significance*, th© old soldiers waded ankle deep in pool3 of rain, bared their heads before the heroic figures of Lincoln, Grant and Logan and "went a-vlsltin'" and "a-foragi n ' " till the torrents which deluged the streets' had soaked and bedraggled them into condition for a camp-fire and a bout with the canteen.

KWAIMG-SU.THE EMPEROR Ilia lt«iffii iu China KotulmUljrCoi»m*»p*4. 1» the Yoar 1«0». The Emperor of China Is thirty years old. His reign nominally commenced In 1862. The Empress Dowuger as Regent ruled China until 1889, waen the Emperor took the actual con* trol of the government. He still has the appearance of a delicate you h. He is small and thin, pale and intellectual looking. His eyes are large and black and his face smooth and hairless. The first audience at which he received the foreign Ministers, or those of them who attended, took place in 1S91. The representatives of France and Russia refused to accept audience because the hall set apart for the ceremonial was not situated in the Forbidden City. Afterward in 1894 the Emperor consented to receive the foreign representatives in the Hall of Literary Glory in the Forbidden City. On occasions of audience the Emperor is seated on a throne placed on a dais raised five steps above the floor. The foreign representative was not allowed until recently to ascend this dais. He now approaches close to the throne. Standing in front of it he read his address. The .Emperor replied in a few words, which were received by Prince Kung or Prince Ching kneeling and afterward translated from Manchu. The language of both speeches was' formal. For instance, the Emperor expressed his great satisfaction and joy at the kind sentiments of the President of the United States which the Min* ister had conveyed to him and hoped the President was-wetfc—He then per-- soaally complimented the Minister on his having been fair and even-tempered in the transaction of business and expressed the hope that the relations of friendship between the two countries might daily become closer and more intimate and that each might enjoy tranquility and peace. After these remarks were translated to the legation interpreter and this functionary had translated them into English the Minister retired, bowing at each four steps, and the audience was over. Except on these occasions no foreign Minister and no other foreigner except Prince Henry of Prussia has ever seen the Emperor. It was regarded at Peking as a very unnecessary piece of etiquette for the German Minister to require the Emperor to rtturn in person the call of Prince Henry. The usages, customs and particularly the sacred isolation fit the Emperor are regarded as parts of the constitution of the country. Every country has its methods and usages, and it is not deemed necessary or proper to demand their abrogation and the substitution of other methods in their place. The Emperor of Morocco, for instance, receives foreign envoys on horseback. Shortly after his accession to the throne the Emperor became very anxions to learn English. He secured two teachers from the Tungwen College, Which w a s P r e s i d e d nvpr h y n n r f.1|,.< cuie ana even the Ittstmct'of; self-de* fence are scattered to the windJ; a n * I believe, honestly, 1 would be capabt* o t j i n y Infamy in order to escape. 1 have no hesitation in confessing this. because, as far as I have been able to find out, everybody acta exactly the same way in the throes of nightmare; and I f**l certain I, would not m a k e such a pitiable spectacle of myself in real life, no matter what might befall. **T thinJc that the explanation of*the nightmare panic is to be found in the fact that the dream is almost invariably accompanied by a sense of suffocation. It is welj established that choaking—the 'shutting off of one'* wind,' to use a homeiy phrasc-^a-j an effect upon the mind which is • t* tirely distinct and different from that produced by any other form of paiu or peril.

In dreams the •-ntire nervous system is relaxed, and it is natural to suppose that the m^v al effect of suffocation would be intensified. At least, that is the best apology I have to offer for my sprint' thtougi nightmare land."—New Orleans Tla.e*.

Dr. W. A. T. Martin. These teachers had to attend on their pupil about 4 A. M and often had to wait for several hours. At the beginning the Emperor took his lesson every day and faithfully wrote his exercises. There was a rush among the prince's and Ministers to learn English also, and for a while the scheme was very flourishing, but soon zeal flagged and the scheme dropped.—Charles D^nby. "-and trimmed the first season. • The following season $2.50 will keep the field in good condition until picking time. Under favorable conditions the plants shpuld bear much fruit the second season. I prefer mulching thje .second season, as this conserves the moisture and keeps down weeds. This makes a total cost of $37.50 for plants and labor. No Mini a Hero in a >'iK ht!imre. "Strange that we are always so cowardly in nightmares,", remarked a New Orleans lawyer who has a taste for the bizarre. "I don't believe anybody ever lived who stood up and matip a square stand against the amorphous horror that .invariably pursues us in such visions. When I have a nightmare and the usual monster gets on my trail my blood turns to water and my conduct would disgrace sheep. I am beside myself with stark, downright fear, and I have no idea left in my head except to run like a rabbit. All pride, self-respect, dread, of ridillrlngiuff Ittuqiberrieft I n t o IteHrinj*. The cost of bringing Into bearing an acre of blackcap raspberries varies and depends in each and every particular upon the manner in which > the work is done and the cost of material and labor. Although I have only 2.000 plants I will estimate the cost of raising raspberries. First comes the cost of plowing, whioh will be $1.25; then a thorough harrowing, which will cost 50 cents. I set my plants in rows six feet apart and three feet apart in the row. A furrow was plowed for each row, and with a three foot marker run across the furrows, at right angles intersections were-made, at which place the plants were set. This can be done for 5fl cents. By planting as above, it will take 2,- 400 plants. I paid $10 per 1,000 for mine, or $24.00 per acre. I found the most desirable way to set the plants was to have -one man drop two rows at a time, and two men follow and set them. Three good men will thus set out 2,400 plants a 4ay, at a cost of U-75. At a coit of $5 an acre blackcaj? raspberries can be properly cultivated WHAT ^WOMAN THINKS If you would rot be known to do a thing, don't do it. A woman is often credited with being mad when she is only verylnuch in earnest. It's strange that the man who knows it all turns his. knowledge to so little practical account. You can-learn more about a persar when it is five minutes too late, than In five years before. We are always particularly plea?.i with ourselves when some one els*' voices our opinions. L.

Js the. canvas-tented, sawdust-scented, much-frequented circus!" "A-circus! >Co»ta''to town!" Old Marth gtebbJue, pressing out her youngest grandchild's Sunday gown, paused with iron suspended. "For the land's sake, Billlc! Do tell! Are you sure?" Billte w&s thrilled by the Interest which his news had awakened. Therefore, tie looked as imperturbable as possible. He hoisted himself up on the table, and sat there picking sandbars off his sleeves, And swinging his bare legs. "Gimme a cooky, an' 111 tell yon ail about it." There was no compromising^ with Billte. He was a young man of his word. Of this his grandmother "was aware. She looked at him .bard a moment, Then eho set the iron down, and went Into the pantry. She -came back with two cookies. "ThereV she said,* "now go on!" "After T'd been to mill I went uptown. There was two men puttinV pictures, on the blank v:all near the livery, stable. They'd get 'em up already by the lumber yard. Another feller wag gcin* into the shops, and scttin' signs put in the window*. And, I say, grandma, yon just want to see them pictures. They're—they're jlmminggee." Grandma irened an, but less energetically than before the return of Bil- Jle. "Go on r.ri' tell me about them pictures," she r.r^ed. "I used to like awful well to go to circuses when I was young. Ssems 1 i!;e I went to every one that come to our town. One ain't been near this place ^ltvce I ccrae here to live^ with your ma. That was when Emily Louise was born—fifteen years QUO." Billle went on to tell her bTThe glories of the posters. He gallantly gave ladles the- preference in his description. He ftret told her about the barearmed female, standing in the Roman chariot, driving the plunging steeds; about the little £irl, standing on a white Shetland pony; about the radiant damsel In the abbreviated skirt, who made flying leaps through paper hoops; about the muscular sisters who swung from trapezes. Then the men came in for their share of admiring remarks. Ho was half-way from the ringmaster to the'Clown, and grandma was listening with breathless delight, when a step was heard In the hall. Grandma guiltily -picked up her cold iron and pattered across the kitchen to the stove for a hoi one. "Mother! You ,gat that ironin* most done?" The voice suited the face, a hard, intolerant face, with dull eyes and converging lines around the mouth. "Mostly, Belinda!" tried back the old lady with nervous cheerfulness. "Ain't morn'n half a dozen mere pieces. Billie •here's got beck from mail." She. moistened the tips of her fln- ;gers with her'tongue, sad spatted away on the iron to test its temperature. "I can see that," tartly. 'Billle, your father eit off with that stock? That's good. Now, I don't want you scttin' pound like this when there's his chores to be done well's your own- You hear?" "Yes'm." There was a brief silence when she had gone. Martha Stebblns seemed to see through a mist the garments shewas Ironing. Suddenly the kitchen seemed smaller and hotter than It had five minutes ago. All at once, too, the lovely ladies, and dashing men, pud wonderful animals of the circus seemed more distant, Inapproachable. "Are—you thiukin' you'll be let go, Biiiis?" "Dunno." He lifted his foot and looked pensively at the stonebruise on the toe. "Will ft I can. I'll see if I can't get a job carry in' water for the elephant. Lot's of boys get in that way." "The elephant!" She looked across •t him with brightening eyes. "Have they got real elephant along? I ain't seen elephant I don't know when*" Something wistful in her tone ' struck JBlliiv He wes net a p:.r;jc ?::i> J ly bright boy, but he was.affectionate in a dumb and clumsy way. He had never known the joy of self-expression, but he and grandma had had soma secrets of their own. These secrets, involvingTis they frequently did her connivance and ner silence, were necessary to his humanity and protection. N o v he wishod—he hardly knew what he7 wished. ~S3y, grandma, I kinder think you'd like to go to the circus yourself!" ~Me!" she shrilled. "O, dear, no! Whatever put such an idea in your head Me—I'm that old! And besides —•gracious, If I ain't gone and scorched that shirt! I hope your ma won't notice it, but I got • that flustered—to think of such a tiling!" Billle looked puzsled. "Well, somehow," he persisted, stubbornly, "I do think so, gramma. And," he added boldly, tfl dont see why you shouldn't, cither, if you got a mind to— there!" "Why, Billle!" she cried, weakly, but there W.^.B a yielding tremor In her voice. She" put down the Iron, glancing furtively at the door as she did so. She went over to'the tabic, and stood next the audacious young fellow. "Your mn wcrnM never hear to such a thing. Eeridcs, we ain't got the money." "O, we couldn't get a cent from her!" Involuntarily he lowered his voice, as was his habit when a fishing- trip was projected, and the question of secretly securing "provender therefor, confidently discussed. I can work enough to pay for myself sure. You've .gai_.tliat...lii cents Mis' Murray give you for makin* her check-row sunbunnit.

Her wiinkled old faca was radiant—her knotty old hands were trembling. " 'Twouldn't be enny harder than bein' on rny feet "from 5 in the mornin' till after supper like I am. I could walk every step of it, but " the enthusiasm began'to fade out of her face. She drow a long sigh —a sigh of bitter renunciation, "Belinda—-" "Gramma!'' lie- leaned forward, whispering as he did when he was asking her to leave the back buttery window open when he was to be out after houis. "Ma don't need—to know—a single- thing about it!" He unllmbered himself from the table. "I'lt im:n.ige it!" he avowed confidently. The week that followed was one of the most intense, the most absorbing anticipation Martha Stebblns had known in many u year. She went about the drudgery of her daily tasks on winged feet. She-laughed attlie jokes, of the hired man. She brushed and cleaned Billie's best clothes until they did not look within a year of their age. She put a new band on his hat. She fixed over her own ancient black bonnet during the temporary absence of her daughter. She smiled to herself when she was alone. Once, indeed, they even heard her singing. 'That don't sound like a hymn tune, mother!" remarked Mis. Malone, suspiciously. "It's 'The Banks and Braes o' Bonnie Doon," said the old lady softly. 6, the myriad fluttering moments and apprehensive instants which led up to that night! The temerity of undertaking a flight so unwonted, the danger .-of-.discovery, of recapture— these but enhanced the ccstacy of it all! They made their escape while the youngest scion of the house of Malone wae being put to bed upstairs. Down through the dusk, between the rows of stragglhrg gooseberry bushes that .caught at her gown, out into the .path around the wheat field skirting the corn, grandma skurried like a little gray rabbit. And there, en the high road was Billie waiting for her—Billie, kindly, encouraging, swelling with the impo-taxkee .of the adventure. How he did strive to restrain her impetuosity. How he did explain that they had lots of time, thai the seats were already secured, that she would be tired out before she got there. But neither speech nor movement was to fee regarded In the exhilaration ov that delicious experience. How sweet the green things smeiled with the dew on them! Ah, never would the memory of that night fade—that "witching, wonderful night!" The entrance Into the lively town, the sight of the domed canvas tent, the hurrying crowds of pleasureseekers,, the lighted shops; the smell of (he sawdust, the glimpse of tired faces, the torches, the music—best of all, 0, incomparably best of all—the circus itself !

Tiveuty-One Year* A g o t h e P r i n c e I m - perial W a s Slain by Z u l u * 8 It is 21 years ago that General Buller, then a colonel commanding a detachment of the Frontier Light Horse, saw one day, as he was strolling leisurely near his camp in Zululand, four men galloping wildly toward him. The foremost horseman was Lieutenant Carey, the three others his escort. They brought the news that prince imperial of France baa been killed by the Zulus. Buller Kent the cavalry brigade at daylight the next morning to recover the body. When they came to the place where Carey and his men had been surprised by the natives they found the horribly mutilated body of a owad trooper, and a few yards further on the body of the prince. He had the marks of many spear thrusis in nia body, but was not mutilated in any way. Round his neck was a thin gold chain, and slung upon it was a miniature of his mother. ex-Empress Eufrenie, and a tiny gold reliquary containing a fragment of the true cross. The relic was given by Pope Leo III IO Charlemagne on the day when he crowned the great Prankish lord emperor of the west. Since then dynasty after dynasty of French inonarchs had worn that, scrap of gold and wood as'a talisman. And as i' talisman the Zulus regarded it. and they stayed their sav-age hands above the poo: slain iad.—Utica Globe. P o o r H o u s e b o a t Show. There, will be a poar houseboat show at Henley, near London, this year, as only about a dozen boats have been allotted positions on ih?. course. The war has been blamed for this, but ;he chief reason may be found in the retention of the rules which prevent the subletting of beats after places have been allotted by the conservancy, thus dispensing with the speculative owner. Lasr year these^ rules brought the number of houseboats and launches on the course down to fifty-one. and this year there will be in all under thirty. The increased railway facilities, too, and the popularity of club lawns have had "their share in the "slump," and also seriously affect the letting of houses and ,hotel business during the regatta week, for perhap3 the most popular method of visiting Henley now is by train each day from London, while a ticket for one of the club lawns provides everything that is necessary for the enjoyment of the racing under pleasant conditions. TftANSVAAL WAR ITEM*. ' The fallowing dispatch from Belfast, Transvaal, under date of Sept 5, was received on the 7th: Ian Hamilton traversed Dnlstroora yesterday with slight opposition. Buller engaged the enemy's left this morning. Hamilton is endeavoring to turn the enemy's right. Boers with two guns and one pompom this morning attacked 135 Canadian mounted infantry guarding the railway between Pan and Wonders* feldC Mahon proceeded to their assistance, but the little garrison had, beaten off the enemy before he arrived. It was a very creditable performance. The wounded were MaJ. Handera and Lieut Moodle, slightly, and two men. Six men are missing. The siege of Lady brand has been raised after several desperate attempts to capture the town and its little garrison of 150 British troops. The Boers who attacked Lady brand are-estimated to have numbered more than 2,000 men. The British were summoned to surrender Sept 2, but refused, and from that time they were subjected to continual cannon and rifle fire. The burghers twice tried to rush the British position. Probably the approach of a relief force saved the little garrison. Mr. Kruger and Mr. Steyn have gone to Barbcrton. It is believed they are preparing for flight. The general opinion is that the war is now very near the end; but, should the Boers construct strongholds in the bush, on the veldt, or elsewhere, and begin a system of raids, the British would require further large supplies of horses. Commandoes ander Fourier, Grobeler, Bemmer and Hassebrock, together with 200 of Theron's scouts are investing the British garrison at Lafaybrand.

For some years, a decided inclination has been apparent all over the country to give up the use of whiskey and other strong alcohols using a s j a substitute beer and other compounds. This is evidently founded on the idea that beer is not harmful, and contains a large amount of nutriment; also that bitters may have some medical quality which will neutralize the alcohol it conceals, etc. These theories are without confirmation in the observation of physicians. The use of beer is found to produce a species of degeneration of all the organs; profound and deceptive fatty deposits diminished circulation, conditions of congestion and pervasion of functional activities, local inflamation of both the liver and kidneys, are constantly present. Intellectually, a stupor amounting to almost a paralysis,, arrests the reason, changing all the higher faculties into mere animalisam, sensual, selfish, sluggish, varied only with paroxysms of anger that are senseless and brutal- In appearance the beer drinker may be the picture of health, but in reality ne is most incapable of resisting disease. A slight injury a severe cold, or shock to the body or mind, will commonly provoke acute disease ending fatp.ly. Compared with inebriates who use different kinds of alcohol, he is more incurable and more generally diseased. The constant use of beer every day gives the system no recuperation, but steadily lowers the vital forces. I t is our observation that beer drinking in this country produces the very lowest kind of inebriety, closely allied to criminal insanity. R e - course to beer as a substitute for other forms of alcohol merely increases the danger of fatality.-— Scientific American. mmmmm .iijli'. !TJPR EXCURSIONS VIA THB PERE MARQUETTE Sunday, Sept. 23, Last One Ttris Tear to Grand Ledge and Grand Rapids.

The Hawaiian island* in the Facifte, recently f native, ^kingdom, no* * territory of the United States, will apparently have the honor of being the first country to establish the Marconi system of wireless telegraphy on organised official lines. It is to be tested on a large scale, and if successful, it will provide a much,-neede4 means of quick communication between the islands for planters and merchants. The United States produces more honey than any other nation. As long as 30 years ago the product was 15,000,000 pounds annually. Twenty years ago it had risen to 25,000,000 and ten years ago it was 65,000,000 pounds. At the present time Iowa produces 9,000,000 pounds of honey annually, and many states including California, produce from 4,000,000 to 5,- 000,000 pounds a year. Tasmania's Giant Beeches.—In Tasmania are large forests of the Australian beech, a tree which sometimes measures 30 feet or more in circumference at the base of the trunk. The wood is employed for purposes similar to those served by the beech woods of northern • forests, but it is harder and heavier, polishes easily, and is very lasting if not exposed to the weather. • Topic Suggested by the Fatuoot Paintings of Munich—-Typee of Humaalty Represented by tho Two Atalofactor* —A riutiffe Into Darkness. The principal object of Maitrc Laborl's lecturing tour of the United States next winter, it is said, is to recuperate his fortunes/destroyed beyond repair in France by his connection with the Dreyfus case. Not only did his defense of the persecuted captain bring him no return for his services, but lost for him his expenses,' his ncg: 4ected clients, and any prospect—ofprofessional success in the future on account of the unpopularity of his success in the "grande affaire."" It looks now as if New York's permanent naval arch may never be built. No contributions of any account have been received since last April, and the whole matter i3 practically at a standstill. The original intention was to raise $1,000,000. This has been cut to $500,000, and it is doubtful if even so much will be subscribed. For the last three months there has not been enough cash subscribed to pay office rent for the committee. The amount of the subscription to date is $197.- 780.12 in cash and pledges, with n great deal more in pledges than in cash. An agent of tire*department of agriculture has just returned from the Sahara desert, where he went to secure .varieties of date palms for use iu Arizona. It is believed that the date industry in this country will some time become very important. In the Sahara the dates grow in the oases which are formed about wells of water. Since the French have occupied Algeria they have sunk many artesian wells, about which new oases have sprung up, much to the surprise of the nomads. It is a striking exhibition of the interdependence of the nations that the old Desert of Sahara is at last furnishing material to help to complete the agricultural resources of thi& new and fertile land. (Copyright, 1300, by Louis Klopaeh.) The famous paint lags in the picture galleries of Munich seem to have suggested the topic of this discourse.whlch Dr. Talmage sends from the quaint Bavarian town, but the theme which inspired the painters awakens in the great preacher thoughts of the redemption of the human race, which was the supreme design of that scene of suffering and death. The test is- Luke xxiii, 33, "There they crucified him and the malefactors, one on the right hand and the other on the left". Just outside of Jerusalem is a swell of ground; toward which a crowd are ascending, for it is the day of execution. What a mighty assemblage! Some for curiosity to hear what the malefactors will say and to see how they will act. The three persons to be executed are already, there. Some ot the spectators are vile of lip and bloated of cheek. Some look up with revenge, hardly able to koep their aanas off the sufferers. Some tear their own hair in a frenzy of grief. Some stand in silent horror. Some break out into uncontrollable weeping. Some clap their hands in delight that the offenders are to be punished at last. The soldiers, with drawn swords,drive back the mob which »resse3 on so hard. There is fear that the proceedings m:iy be interrupted. Let the legion, now stationed'at Jerusalem, on horseback dash along the line and force back the surging multitude. "Back with you!" is the cry, "Have you never before seen a man die?" Three crosses in a row—an upright piece and two transverse pieces, one on the top, on which the hands,are nailed, and one at the middle, QD which the victim sat. Three trees just planted, yet Dearihg fruit—the one at the right bearing poison ar.d the one at* the left bitter aloes,- the one in the middle apples of love. Norway pine and tropical orange and Lebanon cedar would net make so strange a grove as this orchard of Calvary. Stand and give a look at the three crosses. Just look at the cross on the right. Its victim dies scoring. More awful than his physics! anguish is his scorn and hatred of him on the'middle cross. ' That rrght hand crosi^-thousands have perished on it i t wo?w agonies. For what is physical pain compared to remorse at the last that life has been wasted and only a fleeting moment stands between the soul and its everlasting overthrow? O God. let me die anywhere rather than at the foot of that right hand cro«s! Let not one drop of that blood fall upon my cheek. Rend not my ear with that cry. I see it now as never before—the loathsome* ness and horror of my JBibelief. That dying malefactor was not so much to hlame as I. Christianity was not established, and perhaps not until that day had that man heard of Christ. But after Christ h?-s stpod almost 19 centuries, working the wonders of his grace, you reject him. That right hand cross, with Its long beam, overshadows all the earth. It is planted in the heart of the race, When will the time come when the spirit of God shall, with its az, hew down that right hand cross until it shall fall at the foot of that middle cross, and unbelief, the railing malefactor of the world, shall perish from all our hearts? Away from me. thou spirit of unbelief! I hate thee! With this sword of God I thrust thee back and thrust thee through. Down to hell; down, most accursed monster of the oarth. and talk to those thou hast already damned! Talk no longer to these sons of God. these heirs of heaven. "If thou be the Son of God." Was there any "if" about it? Tell, me, thou star, that iu robe of light did run to point out hi3 birthplace. Tell me, thou sen, that didst put thy hand over thy lip when he bade thee be still. Tell me, ye dead who got up to see h!m die. Tell me, thou sun in midhcivcn, who for him didst pull down over thy face thy veil of darkness; Tell me, ye lepers who were demised, ye dead who were raised, is he the Son of God? Aye. aye. responds the universe. The flowers breathe it; the stars chime it; the redeemed celebrate it* the angels rise or> their thrones to announce it. And yet on that m'serable malefactor's "ifvhow many shall be wreckedfor all eternity-! That little "if-" has enough venom in it3 sting to cause the death of the soul. No "if* about-it. 1 | know it. Eccc Dei's! I frel it thorj oughly—through every muscle of the I body, and through every faculty of my mind, and through every energy of my poul. Living, I will preach it; dying. I will pillow my head upon its consolations— Jesus the God. Away, then, from this right hand cross.

All accused persons having Hawaiian blood in their veins had to be tried in the Hawaiian language, oven although they could speak English. l a civil cases where one of the parties was of native descent, the jury was half Hawaiian and half white.

Records kept by the board of health show a constant decrease In the death rate during the last twenty years, particularly among children. Out of every thousand deaths during the first quarter of^this twenty-year period, five hundred and twenty-two were those of children under five years of age. During the last quarter the number has been only three hundred and thirty- eight The gain is attributed to the diligence of the board of health hi' spreading a knowledge among the poorer people of the best way of feeding Infants during hot weather, and to the establishment of day nurseries,steri: fzed milk depots, floating hospital, Lnd other admirable charities. on the spikes to hiss at the One in the middle. 1? the scoffer could get one hand loose and he were within reach, he world ajuite the middle sufferer in the face. He hates him with a perfect \ hatred. I think he wishes he were down on the ground that he might spear him. He envies the mechanics | who with their nails hr.ve nailed him j fast. Amid the settling darkness and ! louder than the crash' of the rocks | hear him Jeer out these words: "Ah, j you poor wretch! I knew you were an | impostor! You pretended to be a God, ! and yet you let these legions master j you!" It wp.s in som" such hate that \ Voltaire*in his death hour, because ho thought he saw Christ in his bedroom, got up on his elbow and cried out, "Crush that wretch!" What had the middle cross done to arouse up this right hand cross? Nothing. Oh, the enmity of the natural heart against Christ! The world likes a sentimental Christ or a philanthropic Christ, but a Christ who comes to snatch men away from their sins—away with him! | On his right hand cross today I see typified the unbelief of the world. Men say, "Back with him from the heart! I will not let him take my sins. If he will die. let him die for himself, not for me." There has always been a war between this right hand cross and the mfddle cross, and wherever there is an unbelieving heart there the fight goes on. Oh, if when that dying malefactor perished the faithlessness of man had perished, then that tree which yields poison would have budded and blossomed with life for all the world! A PJnng-e I n t o D a r k n e s s . Look up into that disturbed countenance of the sufferer and see what a ghastly thing it is to re.lect Christ. Behold in that awful face, in that pitiful look, in that unblessed* death hour, the stings of the sinner's departure. What a plunge into darkness! Standing high upon the cross on the top of the hill, so that all the world may look at him, he says, "Here 1 go out of a miserable life into a wretched eternity!" One! Two! Three! Listen to tho crash of the fall, all ye ages! So Hobbes, dying after he had 70 years in which to prepare for eternity, said, "Were I master of all the world, I would give it all to live it one day longer." Sir Frances Newport, hovering over the brink.cried out: "Wretch that I am, whither shall I fly from this breast? What will become of me? Oh, thai I were to lie upon the fire that never is quenched a thousand years to purchase the favor onou's beirie? cf which many have tasted and died, I can see no use for this right hand cross,#except it is used as a lever with which to upturn the unbe- •Hef--of-4he-woi44.— i T h e rctilteitt U M e ' n c t o - . / Here from the ri?ht hand crosa I go to t^e left liar.d cross. Pa.?s clear to the other side. The victim also twists himself upon the nails to look at ihe center cross, yet not to*- scoff. It is to worship. He. too, would like to get his hand loose, net to smite, but to deliver the si'fferer of the middle cross. He cries to the railer cursing on the other side: "Silence! Between us is innocence in agony. We suffer for our crimes. Silence!" Gather round thi3 left hand cross. O ye people! Be not afraid. Bitter herbs are sometimes a tonic for the body, and the bitter aloes that srow on this tree shall give strength and life to thy soul. This left hand cross is a repenting cross. As men who have been nearly drowned tell us that in one moment, while they were under the water, their whole life passed before them, so I suppose in one moment the dying malefactor thought over all his past life—of that n'ght when he went into au unguarded door and took all the silver, the gold, the jewels, and ns the sleeper stirred he put a knife through his heart; of that day when, in the lonely pass, he met the wayfarer, and, regardless of the cries and prayers and tears and struggles of his victim, he flung th<? mangled corpse into the dust of the highway or heaped upon it the stones. He says, "1 am a guilty wretch. I deserve 'this. There i3 no need of my cursing. That will not stop the pain. There is no need of blaspheming Christ, for he has done me no wrong. And yet I cannot die so. The tortures of my body are" undone by thetortures of my soul. The past is a scene of misdoing, the present a ^crucifixion, tho future an everlasting undoing. Come back, thou hiding midday sun! Kiss my cheek with one bright ray of comfort. What, no help from above—no help from beneath? Then I must turn to my companion in sorrow, the One on the middle cross. I have heard that he knows how to help a man when he is in trouble. I have heard that he can cure the wounded. I have heard that he can pardon the sinner. Surely in all his wanderings up and down tho earth !^e never saw one more in need of his forgiveness. Blessed Dae, I turn to thee. Wilt thou turn for the moment away from thy own pangs to pity me? Lord, it is not to have my hands reliev I sHek no throne,in heave*,.no ch&jrloJ to take me to the skies, bjk jujt think of me when this day's horrors hav< passed. Think of me a Utti*-««f me the one now hanging at thy side, wher the shout of heavenly welcome takei thee back into thy glory. Thou wilt not forget me, wilt thou? 'Lord, remember me when thou comest intc ,thy -kingdom.' Only Just remember me." Likewise muit we repent'. You say. "I have stolen nothing." I reply, "W« have all been guilty of the mightiest felony ofv the universe, for we hav* robbed God—robbed him of our time, robbed him of our talent, robbed him of our services." Suppose you send a man out as a s agent of your firm, and every month you pay him his salary, and at the end of t;n years you find out that he has been serving another firm, but taking your salary, would you not at once condemn him as dishonest? God sent us into this world to serve him. He has civen us wages all the time. Yet how many of us have been serving another master! When a man is convicted of treason, he is brought out; a regiment surrounds him. and the command is given: "Attention, company! Take nim! F:re!" And tho man falls with ta^hjigdred bullet3 through his heart. There comes a time in a man's history when the Lord calb up the troop of his iniquities, aud at God's command they pour into him a concentrated volley of torture. True -Condition of Hie r u p a r d o n o d . You say, "I don't feel myself to be a sinner." That may be. Walk along by the cliffs, and you see sunlight and flowers at the'mouth'cf the cave, but take a torch and go in, and before you have gone far you ses the flashing eye of a wild beast or hfear the hiss of a serpent. So the heart seem3 in the sunlight cf worldllnes3. But-as I wavo the torch of God's truth and go down into the deep cavern of the heart, alas, for the bristling horrors and tile rattling fang3! Have you ever noticed the climax of this passage of Scripture: "The heart is deceitful." That seams enough. But the passage goe3 on and says, "The heart is deceitful above all things." Will you net say that is enough? But the passage goes on further and says, "The heart is deceitful above all things and desperately wicked!" If wo could see the true condition cf the unpardoned before God, what wringing of hands there would be! What a thousand voiced shriek of supplication and despair! But ycu are a sinner, a sinner. t speak not to the person who sit3 next you, but to you. You arc a sinner. All the iransrrcc.sions of a life time have heen 'gathered up into an avalanche. At any moment it may slip from^tho^ cliffs and crush you fOTCYerrnSayT^e Lord Almighty, by his grace, help us to repent of our sins while repentance is possible. Thjs left hand cross was a believing cross. There was no gues3v/ork in that prayer.no "if" in thatsapplication. Tho left hand cros.i flung itself at the foot of the middle cross, expecting mercy. Faith is only just opening the hand to take what Christ offers us. The work is all done; the bridge is built strong enough for i:s all to walk over. Tap not at the door of God's mercy with the tip of ycur fingers, but as a warrior with gauntleted fists beats at the castle gate. So with all the aroused energies of our souls let us pound at the gate of heaven. That gate is locked. You go to it with a bunch of keys. You try philosophy. That will not open it. A large door generally has a ponderous key. I take the cross and place the foot of it in the lock, and by the two arms of the cross I turn the lock, and the door opens. Forthwith the left hand crass be comes the-abode of contentment. The pillow of the malefactor, soaked iu blood, Jbecomes like the crimson upholster of a king's couch. When the body became still and the surgeons feeling the pulse said one to another. "He Is dead," the last mark of pain had gone from his face. Peace had smoothed his forehead. Peace closed his eyes. Peace closed his lips. Now you see why there were two transverse pieces on the cross, for it has become a ladder into the Bkies. That dying head is easy which has under it the promise, "This day thou shalt be with me in paradise." Ye whoselips have been filled with blasphemy, ye whose hands for many years have wrought unrighteousness, ye who have companioned with the unclean, ye who have scaled every height of transgression and fathomed every depth and passed every extreme of Iniquity—mercy,mercy!

Efforts are now being, made by the people of XCansas to preserve from the ravages of time this ancient relic. . It is one of few reminders of early days left standing, there and i t was built when the settlement of the west was just beginning. It stands near Fort Riley in the central part of the state, and is all that }s left of the town of Pawnee.the flrst oapitol of the state. The town was started by boomers who "stood in" with the territorial governor, A. H. Ucder. who owned land there and was a good deal of a speculator. — .•The town association built the capitol, a stone structure, two storie3 high and 40x30 feet in outside dimensions. It laid out the streets and boardinghouses weie made ready for the firsi meeting of the legislature. Then, in 1835, the governor called the legislature to meet there, and the solons decided that they would not assist him. They went from eastern Kansas iu prairie schooners, a long procession that wound its way 150 miles out on the prairie, the travelers growing more angry that chc governor had selected so distaint a place. 'They had provisions for the trip, and when thry reached Pawnee not one of them went to th<? boarding houses as had been expected, but they cooked In their wagons and lived on the edge of the town site.

Pawnee did not make a town. The cholera broke out the next year at Fort Riley and the people fled. The stato house stands out on the plain, deserted, the roof gone and the interior a place for the hiding of coyotes and sandhill owls. The state has been asked to purchase the o l i ruin and preserve it for future generations, who will doubtless appreciate It as a reminder of the efforts of the flrct comevi, to make this a great city, and for a time it seemed likely thai they would succeed.

To protect their vineyards against the ravages of hailstones the vinegrowers of southern France attack approaching storm clouds with volleys from cannon until the cloud ir, dissipated. Thi.i practice originatad In Italy and was known in France over a hundred years ago, but it is to be more extensively employed this year than ever before.

Fortuguese Inventor has patented an application of the electric light t» fox and badger hunting. The fox and the badger are animals that live, in dens underground, and terriers and other kinds of dogs are used to dig them out of their burrows or to fight and kill them underground. The ingenious Portuguese conceived the idea of attaching: an electric lamp to the collar of the dog so as to light the way 'for him in his descent into the hole, and of making the light colored so as to scare the animal and cause it to rush forth to its destruction. A patent upon this scheme has actually been granted. / ;.M»r ~0 »> •,!'' * SP * , - * * ?W .*:* = 1';$*,'•? •'' Vinn V" tMUMfM f t " J?" 5S5 iMiltUTJi ASS 535< •*••»*«•••*•: as W» her'enemies aatf tfcjnk. no evil.

As for how your stepfather died they can ^oaly conjecture, nor <pn any motive bd given for the crime. He was found by the servants In the morning when they went to open the study, and was lying on the floor near the window— which was wide open. You know how bitterly cold it was last Easter? Well, it had bean snowing hard all night, and it had drifted in and was lying thicfcly oa hisshoulders,Had any trace of his assailant been possible on the hard ground the snow had covered n, and this showed that the deed must have been done early in the night before it began. There were no signs of any struggle, nor was anything taken; and they fancy ho must have been asleep in his chair, for death was caused by two terrific blows on the back of the head. Now, Mollie, I have told you all, and you must not let this depress you, or I shall feel more than ever to blame. Joyce will be,delighted to have your companionship, and ,the White House is not so very far off, you know." With a great effort Mollie sliook off the vague feeling of coming evil that had fallen upon her, and she looked up at her friend with an attempt at a smile. Mrs. Anstruther's face Was rapidly getting familiar to her again; her voice seemed a pleasant echo from the past, E?veB^th^Jittie way she half ol shaking her head to emphasize her words was the same as of yore. She and Mrs. L'Estrange had been left-widows about the same time; but while one had made the rash marriage that had ruined her life, the other had devoted herself to her two Children and their interests. Mollie had seen little of them since she had been at school, for whea she was at home for the holidays, they had been away; but she had happy recollections of a whlte-frocked little girl who was Joyce, and a tall boy who used to send them flying to and fro in a swing under some great trees. "Thank you very much," she said, straightening herself and sitting up. "It is nice Jto think that I shall have kind friends near me. with a firm, nervous grip that almost made her scream out with pain. Then she was conscious that Mrs. Anstruther hud kissed her kindly at parting while responding very distantly to Madame Dubois' greeting, and then they were bowling through Reverton in a high .mail phaeton behind a pair of fine horses, which madame drove with consummate skill. In spite of her deaire to look'out for old landmarks, the girl was furtively studying the hard face by her side as they dashed along. Instinctively she distrusted it, somehow; though it would have been difficult to have put her thoughts into words; and her feelings were cf the gloomiest as the chimneys of Chalfont came in sight. It was a large, ugly, red-brick house, standing in well-kept grounds, and looked very much as she had remembered it all her life; but she could not repress a shudder as she thought of what had happened there, and in imagination saw her stopfather's tall form at the hall-door as they drew up before it. "Where is my half-sister. Kate?" she inquired, .as she followed madamipf I—I—it feels rather lonely coming home like this, you see. And though I hated—that is. disliked Mr, Barlowe, still, it is a terrible thing to have happened,- and there is my half-sister Kate—" "Yes, yes, of course. Well, Mollie, your mother and I were true friends, though Mr. Barlowe prevented us seeing too much of each other in late? years. Come to me whenever you like m y child." t ' "Oh, I will," responded Mollie more cheerfully. "Tell me, Mrs. Anstruther, shall I like Madame Dubois; d£ you know her?** ~ Mrs. Anstruther moved uneasily, and drew out her watch. "We shall be at Reverton in a few minutes now," she exclaimed almost in a tone of relief. "Of course, not having been friendly with Mr. Barlowe, I do not know his sister well; but we are on speaking terms, and Henri Dubois comes ovei* to play tennis with my young people when he is at home. Now, here we are. and don't forget that you are to come to us whenever you like." With tjie uncomfortable impression that Mrs. Anatruther was trying to make the best of things', Mollie thanked her, and thc.iiRTt mnaent the train stopped at the dear old country station she remembered so well, and she was In Reverton once more! There was only one person on the platform—a tall and remarkably handsome woman, with a dark, almost masculine face, and piercing black eyes under heavy brows, and these same eyes fell upon the unconscious Mollie as the train slowly glided into the station, and t?ok in every detail of the sweet little face with a strange, Quick Intsntness. She was moat elegantly attired in half mourning, that showed off her splendidly powerful figure to the greatest advantage; and as Mollie sprang out and looked round she came up quickly with a smile on her wide, thin-lipped mouth. "Miss L'Estrange, I think," she said, in a loud, deep voice. "I am your aunt, Madame Dubois, and I have been greatly looking forward} to your arrival. Ah; Mrs. Anstruther, how are you?* Her aunt! Leonard Barlowe's sister her aunt! MoUle'a brain reeled at the notion, while her hand was shaken who was talking volubly, into tlifiu..«Me4Ufi would have ruthlessly put the Med. Co., St. Johns. Mich exdrawing- room. "I will send for her. Poor child, she is not strong; she makes me very anxious," she returned, sweeping over to the table, and pouring cut tea in the energetic manner, that seemed habitual to her. "You will hardly .kjL0_w_JieiLajaUn^0JV-144eee% theplacet My brother made so many improvements." "It did not want improving," claimed Molly, shortly. "What -was good enough for my mother was certainly good enough for Mr. Barlowe." Madame Dubois shrugged her shoulders. Though an Bngfishwoman she had many French gestures and expressions, and her black eyes swept over Colonel L'Estrange's young daughter with a lightning glance. "You are impulsive, sweet child," she said, shortly. "But you will soon grow to like the changes, and be very happy with me and your sister." "My half-sister," corrected Molly, quietly. "Whom I was never allowed to love as a child, of whom I know nothing. How did she bear her father's dreadful death?" Madame Dubois dropped the sugartongs with a loud clatter, and suddenly her face changed to an ashen hue, her whole demeanor altered. "How has she-heard It?" she muttered between her teeth Then, turning fiercely to Mollie, "Never mention anything belonging to it if yon do not wish to drive me crazy! Is it not always before me day and night, day and night?" Anci she sank back in her chair, as it unable to sit up, while her eyes swept round the room in a strange, cowering manner. Astonished at the effect of her words Molly sat blankly regarding her. Had she spoken in sorrow her tender heart would have melted toward her at once, even though she was Leonard Barlowc's sister, but there was only an odd. frightened passion in her voico and bearing, and something in her hard face repulsed and kept Mollie silent,- whiler before she could think of anything suitable to say. madame had recovered herself auu had suggested thai she take off her outdoor garments. Like a girl in a dream she followed the tall, strong figure through hall and passages that were the same, ycV different, and Anally to a room that she did not recognize at all, where a housemaid was unstrapping her trunks. And this wa3 her homecoming, this was the way sho returned to her mother's house—a stranger among strangers, where everything was altered, where uot even a servant who knew her remained. Dismissing the maid,'she threw herself down by the bed, dark forebodings and dread weighing down her usually bright nature, and a dreary longing for the mother with whom "every spot in Chalfont had been associated tearing at her heart-strings. Poor little schoolgirl! She fought down the choking feeling in her throat with mingled pride and resolution. Colonel L'EstrangeV daughter must not give way before strangers. But ah, it was hateful to think that she was in the charge of this Madame Dubois! Then she began to reflect that she must make the beet of it, and certainly tears would not help her, GO she buried her head in the white quilt and prayed for strength to forgive sprang* up, and, turning round* beheld & little girl, dressed, in the latest Par* islan fashion for children, standing regarding her with curious-eyes. She was not pretty, foe her small, sharpfeatured face was thin and witch-^ike her expression old vand cunning; but Mollio noticed with relief that sht bore little resemblance to Mr. Barlowe, and masses of flaxen curls, sc fair as to be almost white,, softened the little-face. For a minute the sisters regarded each other gravely. Mollie's beautlfu} pink and white face had flushed brightly, her sweet gray eyes were fixed wistfully on the child, but the latter was quite composed; her thin lips were pressed together a3 she coolly surveyed her half-sister from her sunny brown head tq her dainty foot. "Well, Kate, do you remember me?'' asked Mollie, gently. "Hardly. What were you doing?" "I was saying my prayers. Don't you say yours?" "No," returned Kate, loftily. "I am a free thinke/, like my Cousin Henry." "Oh!" ejaculated Mollie, astounded. "I don't think, Kate, you knocked before" you came in." "Of course not," was the calm reply. "This house and everything here is mine." Truly this was a promising beginning. The child evidently had been taught to'believe herself a person of great importance, and during the halfhour she spent with Mollie she condescendingly repeated both her aunt's and the servant's injudicious -flattery, and unconsciously revealed much of the inner life of the house—revelations by no means attractive—and 1-fcoft-lffiuai.f. ynit Alii !*.«.*•, ffnt-wrf^ 4Saesv*fOw4er.

Lemon Hitters young lady out of her room* by the shoulders had she not exercised great self-command. Yet it was very disheartening. Who had she in the world to love but Kate. And she craved love as a flower needs the sun. It would have jnade tiings no better could she dtmve heard Mrs. Anstruther's comment as she entered her carriage. "I cannot bear to think of that poor child!" she declared, • Impatiently. "What business has a L'Estrange to be in the care of that unprincipled, underbred woman! She is already more disliked in Reverton than her brother was, and that is saying much. Oh, why was Amy so weak!" CHAPTER III. "It must be two days since Mollie came in to see us," said Joyce Anstruther one afternoon, looking up from a mass of tangled wool she was sorting. "I hope nothing is the matter?" "Oh, no! I met her this afternoon," responded a deep masculine voice fiuiu the depths of a lounge-chair. "She was going to tha woods io get moss for the church." "Oh, the Easter decorations! Why didn't she come for me?" Reggie got up and crossed the room.. He was a great big fellow, in a rough .shooting suit, with fair curly hair, blue eyes and the pleasantest face in the world: while at the present, moment there was a comicil smile on it that would somehow have explained why, he was such a favorite in the regiment in which he had the honor to serve his Queen and qpuntry; why all Reverton, beside*; hi.; mother and s!£- ter, loved him. "She did suggfsc it," ho said, blandly. "In fact, she was -coming hero, but I said you were bvsy.*' 'Oh. R e g g i e ! " "Don't get excited. Seeing he:- fare fall—for there is not i\mci\ rtisgvlse about Mollie—I stepped into the breach and went myself." "Then I hope you did not meet Madame Dubois!" exclaimed Joyce, laughing. "For I feei sure that she would strongly objeci io you as an escort." "Why?" And Reggie leaned against the wide *indow-seat, and stroked his mortrer*s great Persian cafTwho wa'sf sunning himself In tb«? cornerT; "Why. you old stupid? Because she intends Mollie and her fortune for her adored son, Monsieur Henri Dubois, and no poaching will be allowed." "That little toad?" he muttered in a curious tone. "Mollie said they were expecting bim today. I say, Joyce, do you really think it?" "Mother thinks so." she replied, glancing at his ruffled face with a suppressed smile. "And certainly madame has been most amiable to Mollie so far. She asked *ne the other day what Henri was like, for madame was always speaking of him, and Kate quoted him frequently." "Oh, it is preposterous!" declared the young fellow. "However, wait until she sees him. I shall be very much astonished if she falls in with the arrangement then." (To be Continued.)

"There will not, X think, be any Mr Acuity about that/' said the lady, afe? nlflcently glancing at the note; 'although ft le neccasary that she shojld not know until an hour beforehand; and. if you will accompany me on that piano, I will go through the lines. Queen Lettuce follows the radish. I think/' She unfastened her long, light cloak of shimmering gray, lined with silk qf a pale-rose shade, and revealed such an enchanting vision that the hardened manager was completely bewildered. The lady was dressed as Queen Lettuce, with the difference that her costume was of real silk and lace and the finest gossamer, instead of the coarser materials used by the costumier to the theatre. "Play the opening bars, please, and I will take my entrance from the door." The manager went to the piano and struck some chords. The visitor fluttered gracefully into the" centre of the room, curtseyed to an imaginary audience, and began the first verse of Queen Lettuce's song in a voice which though not powerful, was deliciously sweet and well trained. "There," she smiled brightly after the first verse. "1 need not finish now; but I know it by heart, I assure you." * * * The musicians were beginning the overture to tbe second act. %Has it begun yet?" a gentleman asked, handing his overcoat to an attendant. "Not yet, monsieur." said the girl, with a smile and a nod of recognition. "I have kept monsieur's seat." M. le Conite d'Allier was a handsome man of about two and thirty. In his well-cut and easily iitting evening dress, and with his broad shoulders, he was conspicuous among the other short, stout Frenchmen.

And the other habitues smiled at hfs constancy, RIM! observed to e^ch otb»r that Louise • Coudfrt was extremely lucky to have such a distinguished admirer. Inclined to be stout, this young woman had the usual apearance and manner of the cafe-chantant artists. Her bold black eyes singled out the Comte immediately, and she gave him a dazzling smile. The orchestra started a fresh motif, and a dance was performed which! proved highly satisfactory to the audience. - * ,J At its conclusion a very stout lady, clad in scarlet tights and a scarle:, sleeveless bodice, came forward and announced natively and with an undulating- movement of the hips "1 am the lobster, juicy and fresh." "And I the crisp little cress," chirped a second. "And I the mayonnaise," sang a third.

Dated Pinckney Mich. Sept. 10 1900. By order of the committee. The manager of the theatre attached to the Casino at Rochersles-Bains was well satisfied with himself and his affairs. His present programme was a success, and the theatre was well-filled nightly. The special feature was an Idea of his own, and it had "caught on" at once. It was called "The Dream of a Salad," and the dresses were especially designed to represent the component parts of a yery com* prehensive salad. "Queen Lettuce" was a trifle too plump, and her accent was detestable even for a variety artist, But she stepped higher than any of the others, so her accent did not matter. Some one knocked at the door. He gave permission, and, at the first glance, his customary "Well, my dear, what is it this time?" was strangled in utterance. The woman was young, very dainty looking, with the unmistakable cachet of the Maison Doucet^ or Worth stamped upon her attire/ "Please excuse me, monsieur, for calling without an appointment. 1 will explain my visit." The voice was clear and- the intonation refined. It, quite as much as her appearance, proclaimed the owner to be as far removed from the members of the manager's company as the Rue de la Paix at 6 P. M. from the Quartier Latin at midnight. "I am listening, madame." "It is my wish to play in your theatre to-night." The manager waved his hands and shrugged his shoulders. "Let me finish, please. It Is absolutely necessary that I play to-night " "But it is impose " "The part of Queen'Lettuce in The Dream of a Salad/ as played by Mademoiselle— what Is her name? Louise Coudert, I believe?" "Tea; but really, madam paritlon appeared, approached the foot lights, and, with a smile and a most graceful curtesy, broke into the song of Queen Lettuce. The count looked stupefied. There was not the slightest doubt, in Queen Lettuce he recognized hlB wife! And standing there, in the blaze of the footlights, with her lovely hair and sparkling eyes, her charming costume, her exquisitely proportioned and rounded limbs, he appeared so pretty, so fascinating, so mischievous, that involuntary applause rang out from every pt rt of the theatre, and it was some moments before she could commence her song. This passed off with a success which was phenomena], and the Comte found himself making comparisons between his wife and Mile. Coudert, which were certainly no*, in favor of the latter. * * * On coming out of the theatre the lady was confronted by her husband. He was looking very grave and cold, and she burst out laufrhii.^ •. vtttietre you ar¥tr ' , "So yen *tv*%cid*4 to go on the variety atafer* fee said quietly. *<Oh. ao! I %ve merely tried an experiment, w i n a husband deceive* 4Ms wife there Ma two courses before bar .either to sJMown andoery, which t* sqjy; or tofftugh, as i nave done. in any case she ought to compare her •elf with her rival," 'And your experience?" "Has taught me that I have the advantage. Has Mile. Coudert ever gained such a success as I have gained to-night? You know she never hee." . "And what is your decision, th?n?~ '•This. Had you given me a rival who was my superior I should not have excused your fault* but it might have been compromised, As It is, 1 have eclipsed Mile. Coudert. You have humiliated me and I shall obtain a divorce. Good bye!' "The brogham is waiting*. Will you let me take you to the hotel?" he said. "Oh, very well!" she answered, indifferently, and, disdaining his arm, got into the carriage, sqeezing herselz up in a corner, where she remained silent and motionless. His principal feeling was a desire to strangle Mile. Coudert—to blot her out from his memory. His eyes rested always on that delicious little figure in the corner, dressed so perfectly, so becomingly, and in his ears rang still tbe delighted applause of the theatre given to Queen Lettuce. Heavens! What admiration she had received! And there she was, close to him. the delicious perfume of white lilies, which she always used, delighting his senses. He moved nearer, but she appeared to be asleep. He coughed slightly. She did not stir. He took her hand, and, as it was not withdrawn, put his arm round her waist* —Then -sheawoke— "Stupid! You are making a mistake." "I am making no mistake.' She took away her hand, pushed his arm from her waist, and drew her cloak around her as though to mark a boundary between them. But he got possession of her hand again and the next minute his face was touching hers. "No, no! Let me alone! It Is ended! I do not care for you now!* But he persisted gently though descisively, and she cried petulantly: "How silly you are! You worry me! Oh, Raoul, my hat! Take care! Don't you see it is impossible to kiss me? My vep"— And whilst she was speaking she was laughing inwardly at the success of her experiment. After allr it was easy enough. Simply to make a comparison. And she had triumphed—completely. Her resistance gave her an added charm, and as she looked into her husband's eyes, brilliant with love and admiration, she laughed a^ud. After all it had only entailed a little trcrl)> . "You must understand," she said, as the eaninfce stopped at their hotel, "that to-night's entertainment^as cost mo a thousand franr*.—Dn not put mft to this expense every day, for my dot Would not hold out!* But she was not obliged to repeat her experiment. There is one significant fact Which bears on the queltton of a college education for girls. It is that all the American women who have won distinction in original work of any kind, received the old-fashioned training. College-bred women, so far, have been successful only as teachers. 13 this because the woman in one case was suffered to develop naturally like a growing tree, and in the other was moulded artistically the same as is one brick in a heap of bricks? I cannot answer this question.—Ladies' Home Journal. Oysters cannot live in the Baltic sea. The reason is that it is not salt enough. They can only live in water that contains at least 37 parts of salt in every 1,000 parts of water. L. H. F I E L D. Jackson, Mich.

CHAPTER III.—(Continued.) "He 1* considered very handsome," Joyce called mischievously after Rogtfie'r retreating figure; but whether lie heard her was doubtful, and her own frank, plain faco looted very Cave, as she picked up her wools. "Madame Is a clevor woman," she argued to herself. "Henri Is under her thumb-—that la, he always seems to he afraid of her; and Mollie is inexperienced and Impetuous. It is little more than a fortnight since slic returned. Can Reggie mind already— Reggie, who does not care for girls?" But personal experience, ia connection with the naval lieutenant to whom -she was enga^d, called loudly that a fortnight might make or mar a life, and she could not disguise from herself that Reggie had shown more interest.In beautiful ivtalllc L'Est ran go than he had ever exhibited for any woman—save hla mother and herself —before. A fresh, mattvr-o"-raet girl, oi'throcand- twenty, Joyce, though fond of Mollio, was inclined to. look upon her as a child, and did r.ot £ivc her credit for lialf the sense and observation she possessed. For Mollie hr.d leagued-a great deal in that past fortnin^ht, though Reggie had not always been her teacher. She knew that the food countiy pe-plo round, who had !:ce:i her parents' friends, while wishful to he .pleasant to herself, looked askance at Madame Dubois, whose gic^iobject in life v/aii. to get into the charmed-circle, of their acquaintance. Willi this end .she would drag the reluctant girl to any social gathering where she .might mc<*t them, and eadcavor to forca herself upon them until poor Mollie was bitterly ashamed of her: while her smothered exultation when Mrs. An- Etruther did violence to hnr i?oeIing3 by a stiff call showed I'.follic mora than words would have done how tho residents of Cbaifont Ii:;v;3e were regarded in Reverton. Kate was a great trir.l to her sister; she was dplicate. nervous and excitable to a degree; and. as hor aunt never checked her, she w?.s alnor.t unbearable. All Mo'.li-'s efToits at friendship she rejarrJfd with suspieion, HA mado to the heiress of Ohalfont, and she flew into a rage i? her sistsr t io.l to reason with hrr, or att'r-TuiJted to take ?ho part of the unfcrr.nuate daily governess whw for a couple of hours each morning endeavored to teach her. Mollie wan'very forbearing wJtli her, trying never to forget tiut she" was the baby whom t.ho had seen :n her mother's arms. But. she was. firm also, declining to be drivou about, or stand any rudeness; and Kats, nn.'ing her tempers disregarded, her imperioua airs laughed at, began to treat her sister with sullen respect. Mollie was thinking oi! Kate alter Reggie had left her at the gate, and she walked briskly up the graveled path, swinging her empty basket. She had promised some flowers fer the church on SUM!ay, and wanted them also for wreaths for her parents graves. Should she take them boldly from Chaifont, and incur her sister's wrath, or should she order them elsewhere? It seemed a shame that her mother'* wreath should not be from the place she loved so well; and yet she could not bear that anything for her should be wrangled over. There used to be a great clump of narcissi growing almost wild in a shady corner beside some laurels at the far side of the house. If Mr. Barlowe's vandal hand had spared them, she might surely have some from there; and, intent on finding out, 3ho never paused until she suddenly found herself nearly opposite the window of that fatal study where her stepfather had met his death by an unknown hand nearly twelve monlhs previously? Since her. return she had carefully avoided this spot; it had a nameless terror, yet fascination for her. Mrs Barlowe's name was rarely mentioned In the house; no servant would go past the study door alone after dark. It • was not only madame's hard and mean - rule that caused rarely a week to-pass without some of them leaving—they frightened each other; talcs of things seen and heard were life among them, and It must be owned Uiat Mollie was hot proof against the general whispering, the unspoken fear, that seemed to bang over the place, e&,7*cla1Jy after dark. She was half inclined (to turn back now, even though the sun was shining ard a whole colony of rooks en wins noisily in the tall trees further on. Round this very path the assassin must have stolen that bitter March night attar he had done the deed, leaving the window wide open; and . Why, the window was open now! Voices fell upon her ears. No one ever entered that room but Madame Dubois, though it was unlocked. Who could it be? Taking an impetuous step forward, her eyes felhon madame herself,standing erect with one hand on the table, her face haggard and white, her thin lips drawn away from her strong white teeth, her dark eyes gleaming under their heavy brows with a strange wild gleam; v/hile her voice.harsh and high, came clearly towards Mollie. "Are there no other apartments in the house but that you must come here —here—here?" she screamed. "Why do you torture rce like this? Have I not enough to bear for you? Ah, me! How many mothers would have done as much?" "Calm yourself, mother," cried a thin, reedy voice. "I had merely a fancy to view the chamber where my so tender-hearted relative shuffled off this mortal coil last Easter Sunday. Where is the harm?" "No, no, my beloved!" she answered, in a gasping voice, evidently struggling hard to recover her self-command; "but coming in suddenly and seeing a man—so near the time " And she clasped her hands.as a visible tremor shook'her from head to foot. "Every one was out; I wanted amusing," he said. "How dusty the place is. Why not use the room?" "Impossible!" panted she. "How can you expect it, Henri—you. who saw 1 have it cleaned sometimes, but no one will do it alone, nor will they come near it until after Sunday." "My uncle seems as much loved in death as in life." And there was a fine sneer in the ypung man's voice. "Now, why did you send for me in such a hurry, mother? I was having a good time in Paris—music, pretty girls! — and then you insist that I must return to this dull hole. 'Tk- absolutely cruel!" "You have no thought for your own interests. You are incorrigible!" she cried angrily. "I told you the reason plainly enough: and you spend so much money, tae sooner you fall in with my intentions the better for you; then your future is assured."- "So yen have dragged me away from a thousand o-igagrnients and pleasures just for this!" Moll'e heard him explain grumblingly. "What is she?" —"Oh, Henri, my adored!" cried Mahtfw much power they bad over tho chtld'a fortune. Bat t h e did not think of herself at the moment* except to be glad that she was no relation of their*. And then' her thoughts drifted off to Reggie, and there was a smile on h e r face as she flung open the door, nearly running over Kate, who was advancing consequentially down the corridor, a huge box of distinctly Parisian bonbons in her arms. "I shall not give you one because you would not take me to get moss," she said, with solemn spitefulnese, as she displayed them. "You should have gone with pleasure had you asked nicely," returned Mollie, unruffled. "But I will not take you anywhere when you are unpleasa n t " And before the irate mistress of the house could find anything bitter enough for her poor little tongue to utter, the elder girl had passed her, and, descending the stairs, entered the dining room, where Madame Dubois and her son were standing by the fire. There they stood, these aliens and strangers, giving themselves all the: airs of proprietorship in the house that ought to have been quite as much her's as Kate's. Standing, too, right under the painting of her father in full uniform that hung over the mantelpiece. It would have been removed long ago but that it had co3t some hundreds of pounds, and, Mr. Barlowe Becretly thought, added distinction to the room. of indignation and swept over Mollie. had these people at everything as their own, while she herself was but a guest; and it was.a very frigid and haughty bow that she gave in the direction of Monsieur Henri Dubois when his mother introduced him. ^ "What am I to call you?" exclaimed madame playfully. "Is it to bo cousins?" "Certainly not, madame," she broke in quickly, with a polite smile. "I am a L'Estrange, and the only relation I have in my father's house is my halfsister Kate." And her tone clearly implied-that no other would be allowed. The eider woman's face darkened visibly; but before she could speak Henri said, with a graceful, sweeping bow: "Mademoiselle is cruel; but I trust ia time to win and deserve her friendship " With some murmured words of assent MoMie-sank into her seat, and during luncheon took as complete a survey of the young man as the fact that he was covertly trying to do the same thing of her would allow. Small.slight, dapper, with sharp, well-cut features, a sallow complexion, and quick, black eyes, he was indeed a contrast to the young officer who already held a large place in her heart. A thorough Frenchman was Henri "Dubois, both ia thought and appearance, though his English was verygood; and as he sat. at the. foot of the table caressing his small, black mustache and endeavoring to make himself agreeable, Mollie privately came to the conclusion that she disliked and distrusted him only a little less than she MISSHAPEN LIMBS, fitafestr D«e to A hot wave wounded pride What business Chaifont using Food and laaparo Air. O This is one of the most distressing sights which we so frequently notice in the poorer districts of our large towns. The trouble which is commonly known as "rickets," is mainly due to unwholesome food, bad ventilation and insanitary surroundings genera ly, and Is rarely met with In children who, are well cared for. There is great comfort, however, in the knowledge that the deformity can he cured by suitable surgical appliances if steps are taken in time, and before the bones are set In their disfiguring shape. The symptoms are first observed about the age jb! six months, and may be recognizedj by slight feverishnees, swelling of the joints, and various other symptoms which are not otherwise seen. Where there is any suspicion of rickets a doctor should be consulted without loss of time, as there may be complications, and in the meantime do all you can to remove the cause, by giving a nutritious &i?t of an easily digested kind, plenty o? eggs, if the patient is old enough to take them, and good milk. Give a daily tepid salt bath, rubbing the body with a rather rough towel, and obey implicitly all your doctor's advice. Remember that unless your ehild is well cared for in all the minor details of everyday life, you are making the task more difficult for the doctor as well :u* prolonging your child's pain and suffering. Perfect cleanlincs3, constant fresh air. as much sunshine as is possible, and regular baths, are the strongest aids in fighting such a foe. Regarding the medicine wh'ch should be given to a ehild who is afflicted with rickets we will not pretend to advise. Iron and lime enter very largely into its composition. We suggest nourishing food, sanitary surroundings, and perfect obedience to the doctor's rules. 35 -With Rod and Om te Aifca*- *as" and "Enrouta> to t*# are the titles ef booklets Just teaed ftp tfcr General Passenger Department e* the Chisago 4k Eastern Illinote Rft&roei far freer distribution.

Is it nothing to you to be with youi »raother?" What reply the son made Mollie did not hear, for, recovering from her astonishment, she stole quietly away, thankful that madame's keen glanee had not fallen upon her. That Monsieur Herri Dubois had arrived before he was expected—that he had come, not because he loved his home and wished to make her acquaintance, as madame had repeatedly declared, but because she'had sent him an imperative summons—was clear; but why had she done so? Nor could Mollie, having seen the mother's hard face, softened and beautiful with feeling, doubt that this invisible son, with the thin, sneering voice, was the passion of her life, the being for whom she would go through fire and water. CHAPTER IV. It was with conflicting feelings that Mollie brushed out her sunny hair before luncheon, staring absently the "while into the glass with a perplexed frown. They were strange people, these Dubois, and she uneasily felt that she could not fathom them. Henri's cynical tone she considered unfeeling, for Leonard Barlowe had been his uncle after all; while madame never showed the least rcspoet for her dead brother, though any allusion1 to him would visibly upset her self-control. And Mollie shrewdly guessed that the extravagant affection she heaped on Kate was but on the surface. Evidently madame had sent for her son, and there was a "she* in the case —did they, mean Kate? Already Mollie had not a very high idea of fVelr. probity. «nd wandered did bin mother, and that might only be because she did not knpw him so well. Indeed his high voice and cyu'eal air contrasted badly with Reggie Anstruther's hearty tones and easy, wellbred manner, though it was plain that his mother thought him perfect, and rarely took her eyes from his face. '•Where have you been this morning, Mollie?" she demanded at. length, when there came a break in the conversation. "She has been for a country walk with Mr. Anstruther. I saw her," broke in Kate's little voice, maliciously "And she would not take me." Did a swift glance of meaning pass between mother and son? Mollie could not be quite sure, for this unprovoked attack was disconcerting enough to make her blush furiously. It was very ^annoying, and madame's eyes were turned upon her crimson visage with unmerciful scrutiny. "Kate knows why I would not take her," she said, breaking the pause with a somewhat haughty ring in her young voice. "Uut this Mr. Anstruther " begin madame coldly. "I met him when I was going to gather moss, and he accompanied me" —rather defiantly. Madame's lips went into the thin line1 that gave such a very unpleasant expression to her face, and Mollie continued her luncheon with but a hazy notion of what was on her plate, and a vague, uncomfortable presentiment that picking moss in the bright sunshine with Reggie for a companion would not be allowed to occur again. Two or three times already, when her opinion had not agreed with madame's, she had been obliged te> yield, and as the scene of the fragrant earthly moss, tho flickering light throng* tke buffding branches in the shady 'ane. and Reggie's laughing brown fane rose before her, so also did a IheKlsg of her own helplessness in itadaaat Dubois' strong, shapely hands. , (To bo Continued.) Wild Geese. During the season of migration, generally in April and October in Manitoba and the territories, the flight 'of the wild goose is an almost continuous procession for several days consecutively. The height at which they fly varies according to conditions oi the atmosphere. On clear days their V-shaped companies may be seen cleaving space from 200 to 500 yards, or 600 to 1,500 feet above the surface of the prairie, sometimes Indeed still higher. In dull and cloudy weather they (like the swallows) fly low. and in spring, or in fa^,t at all seasons, are excellent discriminators of a sown field from one as yet unsown to any kind of grain. They have been known on numerous occasions to alight on plowed laud, hand sown to wheat, and remain right there for several days, covering the ground like a snowfall in numbers whose name is legion, with sentinels set at different points, and all busy as bees. They have one end in view, namely, the possession of all the red fyfe in sight. In cases of this kind, fields have to be all resown, or no harvest is the inevitable result.

UNADILLA FARMER'S CLUB. The September meeting of the above club was held at the home of Mr. and Mrs. J. M. Urosoinan, near Gregory on Saturday afternoon last and although many of the members were busy with corn and beans there was a fair attendence and same excellent matters discussed. The club was called to order by Pres. Howlett, and opened by singing by the club and prayer by Mrs. Gates. The first paper on the program was by W. H. Sales, "Stable Character vs. Fleeting Policy." Every farmer believes that character is bred on the farm. Stable character can only be brought out by the trials and perplexities of life. Did not believe there was one standard of character for politicians and one for citizen. Mr. Gates thought the paper was excellent and enjoyed it. Mr. Glenn agreed with the paperrf Mr. Howlett: we all agree that character is the fundumental part ot life. The paper certainly deserves reflecting. Emory Glenn then favored the club wit a 'coon' song, also ^ne by Mr. and Mrs. Gates. The question box was opened and the following question's asked: what do you think of rape as a food for cal ves? E. Glenn thought that it was excellent to fatten them as they take on rapidly while feeding upon it. Think it pays best for them and hogs—they will live on that and water and get fat. ... Are you all satisfied with the amount of toll taken by milier for grinding wheat? No. thought 8. or 10 enough. Will Fruit keep better put up with or without sugar? Mrs. Pyper always sweetened fruit. Do not think it any advantage to put up without sugar. Mrs. Crossman always used sugar and found it kept well unless put upon the table. Which is the cheapest way to ..harvest corn, by harvester or by hand? Mr. Otto Arnold thought this season the harvester paid the best as it left the corn ready for the shredder. Mr. Glenn thought that if the shredder was to be used the binder was all right but if corn is to be husked by band it 3hould be cut by hand. Has anyone had any experience in budding fruit trees directed in the Michigan Farmer? No one had any experience. What is the proper depth to sow wheat? Mi*. Glenn, I found out that very shallow sown wheat was the bet* ter. How long will wheat lie in the ground before it will spoil, if it does not sprout? E. Glenn knew that it bad lain over one month and grew all right. Mr. Howlett found that it had spoiled in two weeks. How much should be sown per acre of wheat? Mr. Crossman, have tried many different ways but think 1J bu. enough. Oeo. Backus thought that the quanity depended on the quality of land, but sow two bushels always. E. Glenn always sowed 2 bushels, this year should sow both ways—one bush* > el each way. Mr. Howlett will sew \ \ bushel8 this year. •' l*t WMITM 11*«.

The circumstance occasioned surprise, and was the subject of much comment by the kind host and his civilian friends. It is rare to find a missionary of any nationality in India today who takes liquor in any form, except for medical purposes. Even the German brethern, who indulge in their beer at home, do not make a practice, we are told, of using it in India, The change of sentiment in this matter during the last quarter of a century has been most marked. It is noteworthy that the American missionaries had the honor of being the pioneers in bringing about so desirable a result. A time was when they were looked upon as extremists and fanatics by the missionaries of other nationalities, and were subject to no little ridicule. A firm, uncompromising attitude has had its effect. The influence on the native church has likewise been wholesome. The vice of intemperance has undoubledly decreased among native Christians of Madras during the last twentyyears, when we consider their numerical growth during the same period. Not that the drinking habit has by any means been entirely abandoned; but it is not the reproach of the community that it once was. It is a matter of rejoicing that our own Mission has taken an unflinching stand from the first on this question.—Mangla Vasanam (India).

The committee have secured many at tractions some of which are advertised Vlehtfaa Cm Bepert ghowers have been general all through the month of August, making it favorable for the growth of all kinds of crops in most sections. Some of the storms were severe and accompanied by high wind which blew ' over the corn and cansed apples to drop badly. Pasture has been exceptionally good on conditions have been favorable for prepari ng ground for wheat; on the whole it has been the most favorable August we have had in many years. The quality of wheat is poor this year. * Much of it is light in weight while in many localities it is badly colored, which was caused by the continued wet weather in July. The season this year has been very favorable for oats. In some localities they were not harvested and stored before the frequent rains came, but as a whole the crop is larger than the average. In most of the countries corn has made a wonderful growth during the last month. Frequent showers and the pie vailing high temperature enabled the crop to make, up for the late start In sonoe cases the crop has been bloWn down by the high wind, but this did no material damage, except to increase the cost of harvesting. From the indications at present we have safely in sight one of the largest crops of corn ever grown in the State. There are some complaints that beans have been damaged by excessive rains; also that they have grown to vines too much. In some cases potatoes have been affected with blight and have been damaged by Water on low ground. On the whole a good ^rop is in sight. The crop of clover seed has been injured some by insects and in some places has not filled well. By some this has been attributed to the excessive rains. In most of the counties all kinds of live stock are in good condition. Pastures have been exceptionally good, making it possible for everything to thrive. There are some complaints of lambs dyiny from various causes and some reports of the existence of the swino plague. • ^.-:.

GOD'S J U D G M E N T S ARE S W I F T A N D SUBC. Rational Slot A N FanUhed by Ii«ra Intrui&euts -— No Calamity Ifappwui by Cbttnce, but la Directed by OLvtrie Wisdom. ' • (Copyright, 1900, by Louis Klopsoh.) Dr. Talmage, in his journey westward, through Europe, has recently visited scenes of thrilling historic events. He sends this sermon, in which he shows that nations are judged in this world and that God rewards them for their virtues and punishes thorn for their erirncs. The text is Isaiah vli, 20, "In the same day shall the Lord shave with a razor that is hired, namely, by them beyond the river, by the king of Assyria." The Bible is the boldest book ever written. There are no similtudes in Oasian of the Iliad or the Odyssey so daring. Its imagery sometimes seems on the verge of the reckless, but only seems so. The fact is that God would startle and arouse and propel men and nations. A tame and limping similtude would fail to accomplish the object. While there arc times when he employs in the Bible the' gentle dew and the morning cloud and the dove and the daybreak in the presentat on of truth, wc often ilnd the iron chariot, the lightning, tho earthquake, the spray, the sword, and, in my text, the razor. This kcsn-bladed instrument has advanced in usefulness with the ages. In Eibln times and lands tho beard remained uncut save in the seasons of mourning and humiliation, but tho razor was always a suggestive symbol. David naid of Doeg, his antagonist, "Thy tongue is a sharp razor working deceitfully"—that is, It pretends to clear the face, but is really used for -deadly incision. In this striking text this weapon of the toilet appears, under the following circumstances: Judea needed to have seme of its properties cut off, and God sends against it three Assyrian kings —first Sennacherib, th^n Esarhaddon and afterward Nebuchadnezzar. Thess three sharp invasions that cut down the glory of Judea are compared to so many sweeps of the razor across the face of the land. And these devastations were called a hired razor because God took the kings of Assyria, with whom he had no sympathy, to do tlie work and paid them in palaces and spoils and annexations. These kings were hired to execute the divine behests. And now the text, which on its first reading may have seemed tr.vUl or inapt, is charged with momentous import, "In the same day shall tlie Lord shave with a razor that is hired, namely, by them beyond the river, by the king of Assyria." ftUzorn of J u ^ c i w n t . Well, if God's judgments are razors, we had better be careful how we r^e them on other people. In careful' sheath these domestic weapons are put away where no one by accident' may touch them, and where the hands of children may not reach them. Such instruments mast bo carefully handled or uot handled at all. But how recklessly some people wield the judgments of God! If a man meets with business, misfortune, how many there are ready to cry out: "That is a judgment of God upon him because he was unscrupulous or arrogant or overreaching or miserly, I thought he would get cut down. What a clean sweep of everything! His city house and country house gone. His siab.es emptied of all the fine bays and sorrels and grays that used to prance by his door. AH h!s resources overthrown and all that he prided himself on tumbled Into demolition. Good for him!" Stop, my brother. Don't sling around so freely the judgments o' God, for they are razors. Some of the most wicked huslness-jmen succeed, and they live and die in prosperity, and some of the most honest and conscientious arc driven into how you put tho Bharp edge on others, How I do dislike the behavior of those persons who when people are unfortunate say, "I told punished—served him I-told-you-so's got their desert, they would long ago have been pitched over the battlements. The mote in their neighbor's eyes, so small that it takes a ^microscope to find it, gives them more trodble than the beam which ob» scures their own optics. With sir sometimes supercilious and sometimes pharasaical and always blasphemous they take the razor of divine judgment and sharpen it on the hone of their own hard hearts and then go to work on men sprawled out at full length under disaster, cutting mercilessly. They begin by soft expressions of sympathy and pity and half praise and lather the victim all over before they put on the sharp edge. Manic of Kind Words* Let us bo careful how we shoot at others lest we take down the wrong one, remembering the servant of King William Rufus, who shot at a de?r, but the arrow glanced at a tree and killed the king. Instead of going out with shafts to pierce and razors to cut we had better imitate the friend of Richard Coe'ur de Lion. Richard, in tho war of the Crusades, was captured, and imprisoned, but none of his friends knew where, so his loyal friend went around the land from stronghold to stronghold and saog at each window a snatch of song that Richard Coeur de Lion had taught him in other days. And one day, coming before a jail where he suspected his king might be incarcerated, he sang two lines of song, and immediately King' Richard responded from his cell w.t'a the other two Hues, and so his whereabouts were discovered, and a successful movement was at once made'for his liberation. So let~us go up and down the world with the music of kind words and sympathetic hearts, serenading the unfortunate, and trying to get out of trouble men who had noble natures, but by unforeseen circumstances have been incarcerated, thU3 liberating kings. More hymubook and less razor. NOhinsr Kver "Happens." Attain, when I read in my text that tho Lord shaver, with tho hired razor of Assyria the land of Julea I think myself of the precision of God's providence, A razor swung the tenth part of an inch out of the right line means either failure or laceration, but God's dealings never slip, and they do not mis3 by the thousandth part cf an iuch the r-ijrht direction.. People talk as though things in this world were at loose ends. Cholera sweeps acres; 3 Marseilles and Madrid and Palermo, and we watrh an.ciously. Will the epidemic swoop Europe and America? People say. "That will entirely depend on. whether the inoculation is a sucns.-. fvA experiment; th?.t will depend entirely on quaraniino regulations; that will depend en the. early or lats appearance of fro^t. That epidemic is pitched into tho world, and it goes blundering across the continents,, and it is all guers-wovk- and an appalling "perhaps." 1 think, perhaps, that God had something to da with it and that his-mercy may have in some way protected us; that he may have done as much for us as the quarantine and the health officers. It was right and a necessity that all caution should be used, but there have come enough macaroni from Italy, and enough grapes from tho south of France, and enough rags from tatterdemalions, and hidden in reach besides war—epidemics•,J TRANSVAAL.

Krugpr'a aotkia shows how hopeless in Ids opinion is tbe war which has now been carried on for uearly a year, and his desertion of the Boer cause should make clear to his fellow burghers that i t is useless to continue the struggle any longer. I t is probably unknown to the inhabitants of the Transvaal and Orange River Colony that nearly 15,000 of their fellow subjects are now prisoners of war, not one of whom will be released until those now under arms against us surrender nncon<ttlk>n»lry. The burghers must bo cognisant «fi the fact that no intervention in their behalf can come from any of the great powers, and, further, that t h o British empire is determined to complete the work which has already cost so many lives, and carry to a conclusion she war declared against her by the late governments of tho Transvaal and the Orange Free State, a war to which there can be only one ending. News from the seat of war in Soutl> Africa is indecisive, but it is clear that Roberts is making a concentric movement on Komatipoort, and has left. Pretoria to direct it personally. Ian Hamilton is returning to tho railway from Lydenburg; Pole-Carew is pushing east toward Nelspruit; French is making for liarbcrton and liuller has divided Botha's force and cut off a portion of them from communication with the commandos between Nelsprsit and Komatipoort. Lydenburg, apparently, was abandoned as soon as it was captured, and the British forces are in hot pursuit of the remnant of the Boer army and driving it eastward to the Portuguese frontier. These tactios are bold, but in accord with RoberWstratcgy since February. Komatipoort is the new objective point, and when it is captured Roberts will bo credited with having taken possession of the last Dutch railway line and closed the door into neutral territory. The work of pacification will not have beea thoroughly worked out, but tho main object will have been secured, as was done when Blocinfoutcin and Pretoria were occupied. Roberts reports from Machadodorp, under date, of Sept. 12, that French was heavily engaged that day with Boers'in the hills West of Barberton, and that tlcn. Ilutton had gone to French's support. Tho flight of Kruger to Lorenzo Marque/, may enable Botha to open negotiations with Buller and bring the war to an end. Botha may continue the struggle, dividing his force into small bands. The closing scenes of the protracted campaign tend to illustrate the truth that without a neutral base the Boers are helplest*. It is reported that Commandaat-Gen. Louis Botha has resigned the chief command of the Transvaal forces tu Commandant Viljocn. text the great nations may combine to put us down. Our hation,«BO easily approached on north and south and from both oceans, might have on hand a t once more hostilities than were over arrayed asainst any one power. I hope no such combination against us will ever be formnd, but 1 want to show that, as Assyria was the hired razor against Judea, and Cyrus, tho hired razor against Babylon, and the Huns the hired razor against the Goths, there are now many razors that the Lord could hire if, because of our national sins, he should Undertake to shave us. In 1S70 Germany was the razor with which the Lord shaved France. Japan was {he razor with which he shaved China and America the razor with which he shaved arrogant, oppressive and Bible hating Spain. But nations are to repent in a day. May a speedy and worldwide coming to God hinder on both sides the sea, all national calamity. But do not let us as a nation either by unrighteous law at Washington or bad lives among ourselves defy the Almighty. llreuUth of IHvIn* L o r e . King Henry II. of England crowned his sou as kiug and on tho day of coronation put on a servant's garb, and waited, he, the kinir, at the son's table, to „the astonishment of all the princes. But we know of a more wondrous scene—the King of heaven and earth offering to put on you, his child, the crown of life, and in the form of a servant waiting on you with blessing. Extol that love, all painting, all sculpture, all music, all architecture, all worship! In Drcsdcrdan gallery let Raphael hold him up as a-child, and in Antwerp cathedral let Rubens hand him down from the cross as a martyr, and JHandel make all his oratorio vibrate around that one chord—"He was wounded for our transgressions, bruised for our iniquities." But not until all the redeemed get home, and from tho countenances in all the galleries ot the ransomed shall be revealed the wonders of redemption, shall either man or seraph or archansrel know the height and depth and length and breadth of the love of God. At our national capital a monument in honor of him who did more than any one to achieve our American independence was for scores of years in building, and most of us were discouraged and said it would never be completed. And how glad we all were when in the presence of the highest officials of the nation the work was done! Eut will the monument to him who died for the eternal liberation of the human race ever be completed? For ages the work has been going up. Evangelists and apostles and martyrs have been adding to the heavenly pile, and every one of the millions of redeemed going up from earth has made to it contribution of gladness, and weight of glory is swung ta the top of other weight of glory, higher and higher as the centuries go by, higher and higher as the whole millenniums roll, sapphire on the top of jasper, sardonyx on the top of chalcedony and chrysoprasu3 above topaz, until far beneath shall be tho walls and towers and domes of our earthly capitol, a monument forever and forever, rising and yet never done, "Unto him who hath loved us and washed us from our ^ , •'••'fa %•' ;:.:•*• •1,.' . • 'K' .>>*: ***-- The election at Cuba was quiet and perfectly orderly all over the island.

We had allowed to grow Sabbath desecration aiid oppression and blasphemy and fraud and impurity and all sorts of turpitide. The south had its sins, and the north its sins, and the east its sins, and the west its sins. We had been warned again and again, and we did not heed. At length the word of war cut from the St. Lawrence to the gulf and from the Atlantic seaboard to Pacific seaboard. The pride of the land, not the cowards, but the heroes, on both sides went down.- And that Which we took for the sword of war was the Lord's razor. In 18S2 again it went across the land; in 1863 azain; in 1864 again. Then tho sharp instrument was incased and put away.

If Bryan is elected the ownership of the property passes to the parties putting up the cash and the money goes to the owners of the property.

Nobody who once looked upon Mistress Marget—pretty Mistress Marget almost everybody called her—could hc!p levins her. I, Thomas Dawtry, a plain and simple squire of the realm, loved hsr better than all the world. .But pretty Mistress Marget was not lor me, or so, at least, her father had informed me. As for me, I had long since decided to abide by this decision only BO long as circumstances compelled me. Whenever fate offered mo the shadow of an opportunity I meant to steal Mistress Marget and run a w a y with her. Mistress Marget, as I had every reason—save spoken words—to believe, would be by n o means unwilling. The opportunity came when my sweet lady's father was called away to fi#ht for his king and country, King Charles and Bonnie England. I, who longed to fight for king and country also, dated the laughter and the jeers of my comrades to stay behind a little ;tml' steal my lovely lady, if it so pleased fate. .And no sooner had her father ridden away, at the head of his men, thee I made for the hall and sought out old Simeon, the gardener. Sir Reginald had never forbidden my visits—he was too wise a man to tempt late in such a manner; he had merely taken care that I had no chance of solitary speech with my dear lady. I knew now that the Lady Eleanor Blewett, who Ailed, as best she might, the place of the dead lady of the manor to her daughter, Mistress Marget, favored not my suit, so I sought not to have speech with her or with my lady. Old Simeon I had been friends with ever since, as a child, I had played in the gardens with sweet Mistress Marget I knew he was my friend and would help me. I knew also that he might speak with his lady when I might not unwatched and unguarded. To old Simeon I told my story, and trusted him f o r his aid. And there was tha chink of gold between us when we parted, albeit my lack of gold was the reason why Sir Reginald had said me nay, upon my asking for his daughter's hand. And for gold—next to his love for pretty Mistress Marget—old Simeon would do more than most of us would do for the sake of life. That evening I happoned to be walking in the lane just as old Simeon also came out to take the air. And a note passed between us. Old Simeon also instructed me as to where I could find certain implements and tools—a ladder and a stout stave among them —which I might need later on, perchance. . And I gave to Simeon the package of a certain drug, which my friend, the chirugeon, had given me. Mistress Marget was to see that this drug w a s dropped into the flagon of .ale sent up for the Lady Eleanor's tuppar. Than, later, she was to lean out of her casement and signal to mc, waiting outside in the lane. And later still Parson Dabncy, who loved us both and sympathized with us rather than with Sir Reginald, was to make pretty Mistress Marget my wife. And s o it all happened, without let or hindrance, save when my Jbody servant's horse was mired in the slough back of the lane. He should have waited in the lane proper, but he thought he heard voices and sounds of horses' hoofs coming, and, knowing that .he must not be found there, he leaped hl3 own steed over the hedge and into the slough. We had to wait some minutes for him, when we would fain have hurried onward. But this was after I had placed the ladder underneath my lady's window, mounted it, pried off the guarding bars with the stout stave which old Simeon had furnished me, and received my darling in my arms. My heart beat so in goring down the ladder that I feared s h e would hear it and think me timid. Yet had I courage to claim a kiss as we neared the bottom, insisting that she pay it me before I set her down; and I do not think she noticed the rapid beating of my heart after that, even had she noticed it before. Her own heart beat rapidly then, as the bright color coming and going in the face which looke'd so fair and sweet in the moonlight testified clearly. At the foot of the ladder I set her down, and hand in hand we raced across the greensward, over the footbridge old Simeon had managed to leave open and unguarded for us, and out into the lane. There, lifting her dear form in my arms. I swung her up before _ me, and away we galloped, after the short interval of waiting fdr my servant, of which I have spoken- Half an hoiir later we stood before Parson Dabney in the gray old vicarage, and a few moments afterward I had the right to call pretty Mistress Marget my wife. Then, a hurried kiss, a tear or two on Mistress Marget's part,, and we were an otu- way back to the hall, where Mistress Marget was to live on, the same as ever in all things save that slender gold band on her finger, until my return from the wars. And then—ah! sad for a man to leave his wife on the wedding eve —my body servant had summnneiLmy varlets and they waited for me outside in the.lane. I could but kiss my darling once more, ah me! but so tenderly and lovingly, see her safely up the ladder, withdraw it from beneath her window, wave her a last tender farewell—and now, beshrew me! but mine own eyes were wet— and take my departure. But before I crossed the foot-bridge once more I threw the stout stave that had served our turn so well far from me into the thick ol the hedge, and I once more clinked gold with old Simeon in order that he might be properly forgetful of all that had happened that night. Then the soft darkness of the ^ane* with the moon well under a kindly cloud, a sharp command to the waiting varlets. a tearing gallop until morning, and we were well up with Sir Reginald and hi3 men, and nothing but wars and fighting before us for many long months. But my heart was brave and lightsome within me, even though I had left my dear wife of an hour behind me. For it is easier, perhaps, to leave one's wife than one's sweetheart, especially when the sweetheart's father favors a richer man, and I knew, aleo. that I was a brave and skillful fighter, and I hoped that before Sir Regi nald pr I saw pretty Mistress Marget again his heart would have warmed toward me on this account. For Sir Reginald loves a brave man and a good fighter always. And la the end it all turned out even as I had hoped. —Chicago Ttibune.

V The directors of the Continental National bank of Chicago have voted unanimously in favor of increasing t h e capital stock pf $1,000,000, making it 13,000,000. Three of Chicago's oldest and largest basking institutions are t o be consolidated. The Corn Exchange National, the American National and the Northwestern National are to pool issues and reorganise under t h e charter of the Corn Exchange, retaining its title. President Ernest A. Hamil!,-of* the Corn Exchange bank, will be president ot the consolidated corporation. The new Corn Exchange National bank will have a capital stock of 12,000,000, a surplus of $1,000,000 and, undivided profits of $500,000. The Federal National bank of N e w York city is the proposed title of an institution for which the application has been approved by Acting Comptroller Kane. The proposed capital is $500,000, and the responsible applicant who has conducted the correspondence is Joseph T. Hall, the real estate man at 35 Nassau street. The other four incorporators required by law are Walter D. Johnson, broker; Charles A. O'Donohue, merchant; Percy B. O'Sullivan, and Jason C. Moore.

A man who denies that he Is prejudiced, but, claims that he is a good judge of feminine beauty, declares that there is scarcely a beautiful foot to be found among the women of today. The high heels, the exaggerated curve at the ball of the foot, the stiff heel stays and the pointed toes, he declares, have distorted the foot in a painful and ugly manner. The ankles are misshapen. In some cases the bones are enlarged until they bulge out so that every bone is perceptible. The weight of the body thrown upon the toes has caused them to spread out. Crowded into pointed toes, they stick up in clusters of knotty corns. The foot should be as shapely as the hand. Footwear s-hould fit as a glove fits the hand. The perfect foot is slender, with an arched instep and toes that He smoothly and easily. The first step toward acquiring a pretty foot is to wear shoes that fit it comfortably. The next is to take exercises that will render the toes strong and supple. Begin by spreading out the toes ^o the utmost extent; then hold four toes still and attempt t o move the remaining one. Every toe should be straighter and shorter than the next ono and the arch should be shapely and pliant. The feminine foot of today renders a graceful carriage an impossibility. And all because Dame Fashion- has decreed that a short, high-heeled, pointed-toe shoe is the correct thing in dressy footgear, forgetting that there never waa a human foot built that way. D o e s Klectrlclty Kill Trees? vNew Haven (Conn.) Special to Philadelphia Inquirer: Indignant citizens who desire to save the noble elms that are the pride of New Haven have threatened to bring suit against the trolley car companies of the city for alleged damages to the trees. The assertion is made that the trolley wires charged with electricity are in some streets held in place by connecting wires fastened to the trees, and that charges of electric fluid are sent into the trees, which are' thus killed. The trolley com%inies have sought to stave off damage suits by an offer to test tho scientific correctness of these assertions. Permission has been obtained from the department of public works and police supervision assured for the interesting experiment within the Every mother possesses information of vital value to her young daughter. That daughter is a precious legacy, and the responsibility for her future is largely in the hands of the mother. # The mysterious change that develops the thoughts less girl into the thoughtful woman should find the mother on the watch day and night. As she- cares for the physical well-being of her daughter, so will tho woman be, and her children also. When the young girl's thoughts become sluggish, when she experiences headaches, dizziness, fakrtness, and exhibits an abnormal disposition to sleep, pains in the back and lower limbs, eyes dim, desire for solitude, and a dislike for the society of other girls, when she is a mystery to herself and friends, then the mother should go to her aid promptly. At such a time the greatest aid to na.ture is Lydia E. Plnfcham's Vegetable Compound. It prepares the young system for the coming change, and is the surest reliance in this hour of trial. ^Tlie^following letters from Miss Good are practical proof Of Mrs. Pinkham's efficient advice to young women.

Great Britain, which has the smallest army of all the great powers, expends, roughly, $465 on each of her soldiers; Austria, with a war footing of over a million men, expends $225 per man. and Germany and France, the two military powers of Europe with the biggest armies, are equal with an individual outlay of $215. .„ Italy, with the second smallest army, spends $190 on every soldier, she maintains; and Russia's cost is estimated at $185.

THE WATER SUPPLY OF INDIA ,1 *•*ME country .of rivers is the country of droughts! Where rain is abun- I daut .the people lack water. Three glorious river systems bless India— the northeastern, the great Brahmaputra in its lead; the northwestern, Its famous Indus sweeping to the sea; the more central, with the broad Ganges which drains the slopes of the Himalayas themselves. Why, then, should India suffer drought and the people lack water? Because the country's surface does not readily admit of irrigation from the great rivers and because the rainfall is unsteady. Could the mighty floods of the Brahmaputra. Indus aud Ganges be made largely available for agriculture the scene would brighten. Did the rains fall steadily at brief intervals the difficulty would disappear, but th« great rivers take their imperial course, and the rains are centered in June-July and October-November. Seventy-five per cent of India's people cultivate the soil. Could one get a birdseye view of the land, it would be seen that the universal effort was for water in the fields. The uplands studded with tanks; the smaller rivers crossed by numberless dams; the beds of dry streams marked by water pits; wells everywhere on every hand. Save in the rainy seasons the contest is literally from day to day. By large buckets raised from wide, deep wells by oxen; by lesser buckets lifted by hand; by pailfuls brought from some ditch or reservoir, as well as by normal irrigation, the hundreds of millions of India combat drought. But when, for one rainy season, the rains are withheld the universal battle becomes instantly FOUND STARVING ON THE ROAD. one of life and death. If, for a twelvemonth, there are no showers, the people perish, and the struggle becomes impossible. The latest cablegram from the American consul at Bombay states that rains have ceased and crops are withering. Millions still face starvation. Let America maintain her splendid benevolence.

Qne Dead MUU TWO Will Die. The Howard-McGee feud at Madisonvilie, Tenn., had a tragic climax on the 18th, in which one ma» was killed, two others fatally and' one seriously wounded. Chas. Jones and his brother Joshua entered the Clew hotel dining room, which was filled* with gitests. and took seats at a stable: A moment later, Calvin and Tom Howard entered the room and met the Jones brothers face to face. In an instant revolvers were drawn by the four men, and about 30 shots were fired in quick succession, the terrified guests making their exit from the room* by doors and windows. When t h e firing ceased Chas. Jones was found dead on the floor with two bullet wounds in the heart and three in the head; Joshua- Jones and Calvin Howard were mortally wounded anil unconscious^ and Tom Howard, the only one of the quartet left on his feet, had a number of bullet wounds in the body.

The entire Chincs.se population of 5,000 souls was escorted out of town to a spot five miles up the Amur and then, being led in batches of a few hundred* to the river bank, was ordered t o eross over to the Chinese side. No boat* were1 provided and the river i s a mile wide. The Chinese were flung alive into the stream and were stabbed o r shot at the least resistance, while Russian volunteers, w h o lined the bank, clubbed or shot any who a t t e m p t e d t o land. Not one escaped alive. The river bank for miles was strewn with corpses;. With the German proposition to postpone peace negotiations w i t h China until persons responsible for the Pekin outrages are putvished aud the French and Russian notification of the purpose of those governments to begin such negotiations at once awaiting him, President McKialey found, much matter of importance to dispose of upon his arrival in Washington from Canton on the 19th. l i e lost no time in notifying the officials he desired to consult on his return, and the day was largely given up to private discussion. While nothing was given out for publication it is understood that America must either decide this question at once or proceed independently to reach a settlement. The U. S. government has made full and complete answers to the various important inquiries that have been addressed to it by the powers relative to the Chinese trouble. Moreover, i t has , gone farther, and has made a disclosure of all its purposes, and as a member of the administration puts it, it has thrown its hand open on the table. This action was taken after the cabinet meeting on the 21st, and a luncheon at the White House that followed, served to reduce the decision t o the ultimate form. Germany's demand for delivery to allies the Chinese leaders w a s disapproved, and it is thought that the attitude of the U. S. will result in the withdrawal of American troops.

This decision means employmeut to over 60,000 workingmen, w h o have been idle since June. Another Terrific Wind Storm- la Texaa. The northern and northwestern part of Texas was visited by one of the most disastrous rain and electrical storms experienced in years on the night of the 2.0th. The- damage is heavy, but is confined largely to cotton and railroad interests* Farmers declare that the injury to* the cotton crop will reach 10 per cent. The Trinity river at Dallas has risen nearly 30 feet and has overflowed its banks. Shei-iff Hughes sent out mounted couriers from Dallas to notify farmers and other residents along the valley to move out. Great Britain, Germany and Japan are in accord as to the policy to be followed in China, and that opposition to their plans comes principally from Russia and France. T w o soldiers killed and 30 others wounded are the casualties suffered by the British while engaged in destroying gunpowder at Tung Chow. Troops from all parts of China are gathering at Sian Fu, which will be the permanent residence of all imperials. l*rovost courts have been opened in Pekin by all military commanders.

The April sun shone w a r m , and the soft wind blew the yellow dust from the alder tassels t h a t h u n g a l o n g t h e brook side. Pussy willows had doffed their furry winter coats, a n d put on bright yellow o n e s for spring. T h e first butterfly—hi3 wings were bordered with yellow, too—sailed lazily from bush t o bush. H e was trying his wiug3 for the first t i m e after their long w i n - ter's rest. I looked down to see w h a t s i g n s of spring there were in the brook itself. A speckled trout darted up towafda the bridge. I followed him w i t h my eye, and as ho disappeared in a shadowy^ nook, I caught sight of a little dar>. creature clinging to a t w i g that dipped into the water. Going nearer, I saw that he w a s a stranger to m e , though I had thought I was acquainted w i t h all the brook folk. "Do you belong here?" I asked him. "Belong h e r e ! " he answered rather scornfully. "Where else could I belong, w h e n I w a s born in this very brook, a n d have lived here all my life!" I looked at hiui in wonder. Just then a little pollywog came wriggling along, and my n e w acquaintance thrust out a long arm, seized the pollywog, and swallowed it. "Well, sir," I said, "now that you have had that tidbit. I hope you will tell me s o m e t h i n g about yourself." - "Did you ever see a dragon-fly?" w a s his answer, which I thought very strange, a s I w a s not m a k i n g any inquiries about dragon flies. "Why, certainly," I replied. "Then y o u k n o w all about me," he said. "I'm a dragon fly; a larva, as the scientific folk call me. I am staying here only to pass the time a w a y till I shall h a v e two<pairs of w i n g s to fly off with. These are n o t good for much now"—and he indicated s o m e curious bits of w i n g s on the top of his back—"but they'll be all right by and by." I stared at him in astonishment. W a s it possible that the gorgeous dragon flies, t h e "living flashes of light," as T e n n y s o n calls them, were once ugly creatures, creeping about in t h e m u d ? "Well, don't you believe m e ? " he said, w h i l e I w a s considering w h a t to say next, "because If you don't, come here about six weeks from h o w , and you will see us all c o m i n g o u t in our gauzy w i n g s a n d gay colors." Promptly on the first day of J u n e 1 made my way to the brookcide early in the morning. O n - s t o o p i n g down to pick a leaf of watercress, I heard a shrill voice: "I see y o u are on time.

"Immensely," she said with, a sigh. "Are you writing a poem?" "Nothing could possibly be more prosaic!" "Then I may be able to help you," I suggested. "Certainly not!" she exclaimed, and she instantly covered her sheet of paper with the blooting-pad. "That." she added, "would be too ridiculous. At all events," she insisted, "I must write the letter myself." •"^Vhom is it for?" I ventured to ask. "Lord. Carflelcl, whom I met at the Traceys' at Newport. "I wasn't aware you corresponded," I suggested. "Oh, we don't. At least, he has never written to me before," she answered, "And you find Lord Carfield" letter difficult to answer?" I asked. Winnie sat with her right elbow on the edge of the blotting pad, her eyes fixed on the window, a charming air of self-consciousness cm her small face. A tress of her hair fell'forward over her forehead, which was still wrinkled "Suppose you let me tell you what to say." I proposed, standing with a hand on her chair. "Oh, I know what to sny " "Then where's. your difficulty?" I demanded. "At least I think I do—only I don't know how to put it," "Well you see, that's where I might come in." "It has nothing—nothing in the world to—to do with you," she said, rising impulsively. "I'm not quite sure of that"— "But I am perfectly sure," she insisted. "iNow, if you were to talce'me into your confidence as far as to show me Lord Carfield's letter" "Of course I shall do nothing of —the" Tkhiennd ,"I smhue str ettoryrt etdo. guess ita contents" "You could never guess!" cried Winnie decidedly. "He wishes you to marry him," I said. Winnie turned upon me with an expression of complete surprise. "Why how did you know that?" she exclaimed with a fine flush. "Lord Carfield has really asked you to marry him?" I asked. "Isn't it a nuisance'?' she cried, lifting her eyebrows with an air of extreme perplexity. "Well, that's all right." T said. "What is?" she demanded. 'So that you think it's a nuisance?" '"Well, it is," she answered. "All my people are bothering me about it. They want me to" "They don't want you to marry the man!" I cried. "They insist there's no reason why I shouldn't," said Winnie, with a harassed expression. *TTh, but there's the most excellent reason," I urged. "Oh, do tell me what it is!" she pleaded more hopefully. "I said I could help you." "But how?" she cried. "Take a fresh sheet of paper and a new nib," I suggested, "then I'll dictate your answer. Now; then," I dictated, "Dear Lord Carfield' " "I've put that." " 'Thank you very much' " "Oh, I can't begin that way," the objected. "Well," I said, "we'll try again. 'Dear Lord Carfield. I am deeply honored by your request'" Winnie put the end of her pen between her teeth and turned toward me with a -doubtful air. "You know," sh said, "I don't real ly feel honored at all." "Of cotfr«o not. It's a mere matter of form. Now, then, we're not getting on. I am deeply honored by your request, but I regret to tell you' "—— "I mvst know what I'm going to tell him fl'.st," cried Winnie, pausing agr,;?}. ' "1 regret to tell you that I am unable to consider it' " — ' "But 1 did—very seriously," she insisted. "Oh. well." I said, "of course, it you really care for tiie f e l l o w " — "Well?" she cried provokingly. "Why, you may as well write the letter without my interference." "That's ^ h a t I told you at first!*' said Winnie triumphantly. "I think I shall say good-by," I returned, and I took my hat from the table. "Good-by," she said, with a careless nod, as I stepped toward the door, 'That will be the second sheet of paper I've wasted!" she cried. You're going to write another, then?" I suggested. , "You might post it for me—I s'laif' be two minutes," and taking «er yw i she began to write at a great pace. When Bhe had finished she carefully blotted the letter and directed an envelope. "You might like to read It?" she suggested, on the point of sealing it. The contents were barely two lines, asking Carfield to call at 4 o'clock the following day. 'Will that do?" she asked. "I think mine would have been better?" I said. "Now suppose you sit down again and finish my letter then we can compare notes, you know, and I'll post which you please." "Very well," she assented, and she sat down and took her pen again. "Where were we?" I asked. " 'Dear Lord Carfield, I am deeply honored by your request, but I regret to tell you that I am unable to consider it'—that's all we-ve done," said Winnie, looking up with an expectant expression.. 'Because" ,"Yes, I've written that." "Because I am already engaged to be married to"- Winnie threw down her pen, making a large blot on the pad. "I didn't know you were making a joke of it!" she cried, indignantly, "I'm not," I insisted. "You are telling me to write nonsense." "You never wrote anything half so sensible in your life," 1 assured her. "Besides, it isn't true," she said. "Not vet," I answered, "and you haven't finished the letter. Now, suppose you finish t." Wnnie took up the pen again. " 'Because I am already engaged to be married to Mr. Arthur" "Oh, this is dreadful!" she murmured, bending low over the paper. " 'To Mr. Art'JSr Everest,' " I said. "Now all you hare, to do is to remain his very truly, or very sincerely, and sign your name." So Winnie signed her name; then she leaned back in her chair and stared hard at what she had written. I drew a chair to her side and sat down. "And now?" I suggested. 'And now?" I suggested. "Of course", she continued, "it isn't likely I could send him a letter of that.kind." '.'Still, it contains the truth," I hint^ ed. "It says that I am engaged to be married," she said, "and of course I am nothing of the kind." "You will be, Winnie!" "Some day, perhaps." ^Tn-rtny is as grind as another." I ^ - - w j r * ' urged. "And to somebody," she added. "If it comes to that," I insisted, "I am better than any one else!" .

LoutltroKo's Theory of t h e O i i g i n of Kfnning According to Professor Cesare Lombroso, the distinguished Italian criminologist, kissing is quite a modern practice and originated in a very curious manner. The kiss, as a token of affection, was unknown to the old Greeks, and neither in Homer nor in Heriod do we find any mention of it. Hector did not kiss his Andromache when he bade her farewell, neither did Paris press his lips to those of the beauteous Helen, and Ulysses, who was more of a cosmopolitan than any man of his day, never dreamed of kissing the enchanted Circe, and when after long wanderings he returned home to his spouse, Penelope, he satisfied himself with putting one of his stalwart arms around her waist and drawing her to him. The people of Terra del Fuego, says Lombroso have taught civilized nations the origin of the delightful art of kissing. Drinking vessels are unknown in that count) y, and the people, when they are thirsty, simply lie 'down beside brooks and drink the water as is flows by them. It is evident however, that infants could not satisfy their thirst in this primitive fashion and therefore their mothers have for ages supplied them with water by Ailing their own mouths first and t.ion letting it pass through their lips into the expectant mouths of their little ones. In some places the banks of the brooks and rivers are so high thai water cannot be obtained in the usual way and the mothers in such places draw It up through long reeds. Birds feed their young ones in a similar manner. They first fill their own mouths with water and .then transfer it to the wide open months of the little ones. This very ancient maternal practice, is according to Lombroso. the only source, to which the modern practice of kissing can, be traced. The custom of pressing one mouth to another originated with the women in Terra del Fuego, who couW only supply their infants with 'drtnsr in this manner, and it is presumable that they learned the lesson from the birds. Finally, we are told that kissing is an evidence of atavism and a memorial of that early stage in our development "during which the wife had not yet triumphed over the mother nor love over maternity." Lorabroso's views on this subject meet with the general approval of scientists, though there are sorne who point out that his explanation of the origin of kissing is not in accordance wth the one handed down to us by the old Romans. These latter raantained that the kiss was Invented by husbands, who desired to ascertain in this way whether during their absence from home their wives had been drinking their wine or not. EASILY DONt. How Two Men Travelled ou a Ticket for a Man and Ills WiTe. "It was a slick trick, and it worked/* said a well-known conductor who runs in here, in telling of an incident of his last trip down to this place. "Just before we left Dallas," said he, "I noticed a young lady and two young men get on the train and when I came through a little later to colect the tickets, found them sitting together in a double seat. When I stopped at their Beat the man sitting next to the aisle handed me two tickets, one for a man and wife and a single ticket to Galveston. I took them, thinking nothing of it, but on passing back and forth through the car several times after that I noticed that the man and wife did not seem to be getting along very well together; in fact, their actions toward each other would lead one to believe they v \ r e perfect strangers, and during the day their actions became more and more noticeable until my suspicions began to be aroused, but I held my peace until almost here, when, finding the one who had' handed me the tickets alone in the smoking compartment. I asked him if something was not wrong, whereui on he 'fessed up' and frankly told me the whole story. "He said he and the young man sitting opposite to his when he handed me the tickets were from Kansas City, who having lost their positions in that city, had started to come south to see if they could find something to do down here in Texas, and that they had gotten as far a? Dallas when their money gave out, and having been assured of getting positions in Galveston, wanted to come on here. One of them by getting in a day and a half's work, had made $3. but as that would not bring them here they were in as bad a plight as before. The next d.iy however, they hapyened to droc into a ticket broker's office, but the onlv thing-he had in the way of tickets .to Galvston was one for a man and wife. After consulting with each other thoy hit upon a plan and decided to take the ticket, paying their $3 for it. They then went to the depot and hung around the ticket window until they saw a voung woman buv a ticket for- Kat w h a t f t * Ilk*. Bat as you like. Keep ttronff by taking Knill's Dyspepsia Tableti.

I was so feeble from the effects of the diarrhoea that I could do no kind of labor, could not even travel, but by accident I was permitted to find a bottle of Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy, and after taking several bottles I am entirely cived of that trouble.

Officials charged with the duty of carrying out requirements of t h e laws have no right for showing partially in the discharge of their duty. F o r them to tolerate violations by the saloon keeper, b u t to prosecute the merchants and the laborer, is an unjust and unwarrantable discrimination, pernicious as an example and subversive of law a n d order as as a principle. If t h e saloon keeper has a notion either created by his own fancy or derived from experience, that he belongs to a favorite class of citizens . . . whose charmed lives are beyond t h e provision anchvtbe power of law; the sooner he is undeceived the better. .» .

Berlin bad nearly a million visitors last year, while Vienna had only 387,- 000 and Hamburg 278,960. Love is the wondrous angel of life that rolls away all the stones of sorrow and suffering from the pathway of duty. It takes a lifetime of experience to teach as that we are our own best friend; that we are our own worst enemy we never learn. Nothing simplifies life like obedi* ence. We sometimes think we are beset by problems, that life is a very difficult and complicated affair. It is not really so. All life is simply doing or bearing the will of God. Tiiere is never more than one duty for one moment. The pressure of trade competition during the last decade has prompted Great Britain to utilize an extraordinary method of* impressing foreign traders with her superiority. The new scheme is to scatter broadcast over the commercial world British experts in matters of trade to lecture on British manufactures in every important commercial center of the Clobe. A high official in Porto Rico say* that eighteen months ago there were known to he three thousand cases of smallpox on the island; in the past eightmonths not a single death from the disease has been reported to tho board of health. What has wrought the change? The answer may be read in the fact that the names of nearly eight hundred thousand persons are recorded on the vaccination list of the board. According to , reports of a French geological exploring expedition in western Algeria, that country possesses a petroleum bearing basin rich in oil, and resembling in its geological structure the petroleum beds of Galida and Baku. Our consul at Marseilles, Mr. Skinner, reports that several companies have already made application to the French government for permission to drive wells in this newly discovered petroleum district. Not long ago an Arizona ranchei posted the following notice on a Cottonwood tree, not far from his place of Abode. "My wife Sarrah has left my ranch when I didn't Do a thing to her, and I want it distinkly understood that any Man as takes her in and Keers for her on my account, will get himself Pumped so Full of Led that some tenderfoot will locate him for a mineral claim. A word to the wise is sufficient and orter work on fools." The duel in Italy has been very deadly of late. -It is estimated that during the past year 2,400 duels were fought In the kingdom, which yielded a crop of 480 deaths. Tie Chinese way of "getting even" is more civilised on the whole. The enraged inhabitant of the celestial empire is as likely as not to commit suicide on his enemy's doorstep, in order to do him as great an injury as possible. And a suicide under those circumstances in China really does throw the foe into a terrible flunk, owing to the supposed bad luck such an incident brings to the householder. According to recent experiments by Stanilas Tetard, a widely known French agriculturist, wheat and other cereals can be protected against the ravages of crows, which are particularly fond of the grain when its sprouts are just pushing above the ground, by treating the seeds before they are sown with a mixture of coal-tar, petroleum and phenic acid. This treatment, which delays the growth of the seed for a day or two, but causes no damage, imparts an odor which is insufferable to the crows, but which disappears after the sprouts have attained a larger growth, when they are no longer subject to attack. f- It is known that many deep sea animals are phosphorescent In a high degree, and Mr. C. C. Nutting, discussing this phenomenon in the American Naturalist, maintains that the quantity of light emitted by such animals is so great as to supply over definite areas of the sea bottom a sufficient illumination to render visible the colors of tho animala themselves. Some cephalopoda are furnished with apparatus which reflects the light from their phosphorescent bodies upon the sea bottom over which they float.

The miners demanded an increase in wages and the employers refused. The miners then asked for arbitration. This was not refused, but its acceptance was delayed and the strike was called. In the meantime the price of hard coal has gone up from $6 to $7 and may go as high as $15. The operators claim to have sufficient coal on hand to supply the winter's demand. But the Btrike will probably end In a few weeks. Many ugly rumors are being put in circulation to the effect that the strikers are being made the victims of a political trick by their leaders and JOHN MITCHELL. (President of the united Mine Workers.) the big politicians. Another casue assigned for it is that it is a scheme between the leaders on both sides of the controversy to raise the price of coal and wages at the same time. Whether or not there is an element of truth in any of these rumors remains to be seen. The following accounts of the development of the strike come from newspaper correspondents in the regions affected. Number of Men Ont. '"' The anthracite coal miners' strike has started in the four great districts which supply practically ail the^hard coal of the world. President John Mitchell asserts that he has repports showing 112,000 men are out, and that more will join the strikers1 ranks within a few days. The operators, on the other hand, declare that while many men are out, the United Mine Workers' union has not made the showing it promised, and that the miners cannot hold out long ior lack of funds and because they cannot stop all operations. The hard coal region is divided into four great districts—the Lackawanna, Wyoming, Lehigh and Schuylkill regions. In the first two, representing nearly 90,000 men, the tie-up is practically complete. Only one mine employing a few hundred men is being operated, and this the strikers say they hope to close soon. In Lehigh Region. In the Lehigh region the situation Ts districts, and the strike was not general among the upward of 50,000 men employed. Indications point to the closing of some mines in the last named district despite the assertions of officials of the Philadelphia und Reading Coal and Iron company and other companies operating the region that they will continue their collieries in operation. . ~— / A Strike Without Violence. With the exception of a trivial incident at No. 3 colliery of the Lehigh Coal company, where a gang of boys compelled a mule driver to seek cover by throwing stones at him. the contest thus far has been devoid of violence. The exact number of men who struck cannot ut this time be told, as only estimates of the number of men who did not start work were made. Reports received by the. United Mine Workers' officials from the entire anthracite region were to them satisfactory. In this territory, known as District No. 7, there are 16,000 men employed in and about the mines. Of this number it is conservatively estimated that about 50 per cent, or 8,000 miners, obeyed the order of President Mitchell to quit work. Five thousand of these belong to collieries which did not work at all and the remaining 3,- 000 to mines which worked short handed. Operators Make Report. The operators, in a formal statement, declare that conditions throughout the anthracite region are as follows: Shanjokin region; Mineral Railroad and Mining company—Cameron colliery, working; Luke Fidler colliery, working.

Reynolds No. 16 and Maxwell—Idle. Susquehanna Coal company—Nanticoke, idle; Glen Lyon, idle. All other collieries in the Wyoming region are reported idle. At St. Louis anthracite coal jumped fifty cents higher in the St. Louis market, making a total advance of fifty cents per ton since the strike began. The price there is now $7.75 per ton. Local dealers say the price of coal has been advanced to them by the eastern mine operators and that they are compelled to raise the prices. At New York coaPjumped to $6.50 a -ton. How" much higher it will go no operator or dealer was willing to venture a prediction.

A sheriff's posse tired ou a crowd of riotous men near Shenandoah, Pa., on the 21st, killing three per sens and wounding 15 others. .Sheriff Teole and Deputies O'Donnell and Brenamau were called to Shenandoah to suppress the mobs that threatened mine workers and colliery property. Three deputy sheriffs and a small posse whom the sheriff had summoned on the ground went to the Indian Ridge colliery of the Reading Co. to escort the workingraeu to their homes. The colliery is located a short distance east of Shenandoah. The workmen left for home shortly after 4 o'clock. They walked up the middle of the street and reached the Lehigh Valley railroad station. Here had gathered a large crowd of Poles, Slavs and HUBS, men, women and children, who lined both sides of the street; A shot rang out from a saloon. This was follewed by a shower of stones. Many of the crowd had picked up sticks and stones and were acting in a threatening manner. Seeing this the sheriff, who bad previously cautioned his men to keep cool and not use their firearms, commanded them to fire. The order was obeyed with terrible results. The crowd pursued the sheriff and his posse to the Ferguson house, where they took refuge. The deputies fired over 50« shots, and the mob hurled missiles of all kinds. During the riot windows were broken, buildings were wrecked aud a number of persons were injured. Roosevelt's Letter of Acceptance. Gov. Theodore Roosevelt's letter of acceptance was given to the public on the 17th. In accepting the Republican vice-presidential nomination Mr. Roosevelt says he does so with a deep sense of honor. He deals with the 16 to 1 policy, the trusts, the expansion -question and the Filipino problem. B A S E B A L L .

It was terribly galling, but until she came of age there was no help for It. Well, the only thing to do was to make the beet of things, and be as happy as <Ureuinstances would permit But this was easier said than done; there was not a soul in Chalfont she liked or . trusted, aad time hung heavily on her hands, for she could not always be with the Aastruther's, even had madame allowed it, and no ono else came near them. Madame, had she known It, was in rather a difficulty. She greatly valued the Anstruthers' acquaintance, making a point of stopping to speak whenever she met them in Reverton, and hoping those who kept aloof from Chalfont would observe it; but, strange to say, she had forgotten Reggie, who, indeed, was not often at home, p.nd now Kate had aroused her suspicions she was much perplexed. She had her own plans for Mollie and if it came to a choice between them and the Anstruthers' friendship, she must reluctantly abandon their friendship. Mollie soon found the difference; she was never left alone for a minute. Wa3 she going into Reverton, madame was going also, or Henri would accompany her; there was nothing he would enjoy more. "What do you thVk of Henri, Joyce?" asked Mollie the Saturday afternoon preceding Easter Sunday, when she had managed to evade both the Dubois, and, talcing Kate to put a wreath on their mother's grave, had gone on to the White house. The White house was not so large as Chalfont, but it had a beautiful old garden, and the two girls were wanderiig up and down the sheltered paths, while Kate took a A>lemu, dignified ride on the old sv/ing under the trees that had recalled to Mollie her childhood days. "He WJS very pleasant the few times he has been here," Joyce responded doubtfully, pausing to look at the yellow daffodils, the sweet-scented Jonquils thr.t lifted their he?ds from tho dark mould. "But do you like htm, Mollie?" "I am afraid not,"' said she, thoughtlully. "You see, Joyce dear, he acts yj strangely. He pretends to me that he loves England and the country, and 1 know he loves nothing but his beloved ^ails. Yesterday he insisted upon accompanying me for a country walk, and madam said nothing, though j/hc was angry when Reggie went with me to get moss. I know he hated it, for he had on French patent leather boots, and really could hardly limp home; and then, as I was eolng upstairs, I heard him swearing awfully —to-himself as he pulled them off. But ho paid me compliments all the time, ftnd he tells me that he adores 'le ^port,' but he does not understand a gun, and he dare not drive the cheatnuts, I know. And—and I cannot help thinking that because 1 shall have money " She looked "at Joyce, wistfully, and Joyce not wishing to meet those sweei gray eyes a t the moment, contemplated the daffodils, while she rapidly turned over in her own mind how to answer. Reverton both" said and thought a great deal about the inmates of Chalfont that it would be a srext pity for Mollie to know. For good or evil she was unfortunately in Madam Dubois' care at present; therefore why make her feet more uncomfortable than was necessary. That Henri was paying court to the heiress seemed likely enough; her fortune would be a Urge one to a Frenchman; and that her own darling, handsome Reggie had more than a liking for the loyely, slender girl herself was equally true. Raising her eyes from the flowers, Joyce caught sight of both young men advancing towards them, and Reggie called*out: "I have brought you a visitor, Joyce. Mollie, come and have a swing with the child, f o r j h e sake of old Jang syne." They all turned back together to the spot where Kate was slowly swinging herself to and fro. But Joyce felt far from comfortable a s -she stood with the young Frenchman watching ths half-^iaters, as Reggie's strong, brown hand on the rope sent them flying up and down—Mollie's pink-and-white face like the spring day itself; Kate's flaxen curls floating on the breeze. It was a pretty picture enough of youth, and, perhaps, looking at two of the faces, of love. But Henri did n o . teem to appreciate it as ho stood fiercely twisting his silky little black moustache, while h!s sharp blp.ck eyo3 roved from one to the other, and his remarks grew fewer and fewer. "I shall have a swing put up in my grounds," unnounced Kate condescendingly, a s they came to a full stop. "Mother had one made near the tennis- lawu," said Mollie, pushing back her. rebellious curls, and fastening her hat. "Oh, that is not good enough," retorted the child, her deep-set ^ r a y eyes fixed on her sister with cool insolence. "Chalfont is ray property, and I shall have everything done that I like." Reggie took his hnnd off the ropes with a muttered exclamation that sounded not unlike "little beast." and asked Mollie to come down to look at the tennis court, and as" Henri seamed determined to go also, Joyce disregarded her brother's appealing eye, and watched them off, for she had noticed the sudden iiush on Mollje's face. She knew how tenderly the girl regarded everything her mother had done, and in some wrath determined to have a word with the vain-glorious owner cf Chalfont, whom, indeed, she would dearly have enjoyed shaking. Kate was looking after the retreating trio with rather a disconcerted expression, for her sharp ears had caught Reggie's remark, and she liked Reggie; her boasting had been principally to impress him with her importance. "Every one seoms to like Mollie!" the said crossly. "I suppose it is because she 13 a I/Estrange; Jane and Harriet say so. Though I think it is horribly mean of the Reverton people not to call on us, and make such a fuss over her, for, as Jane often says, I am the heircoa and mistress of Chalfont, and much richer than Mollie." "1 will tell you why every one likes Mollie," replied Joyce, regarding the Btylishly arrayed little imp severely. "It is not alone because she is very pretty, but because she^is always pleasant and sunny. Who ever heard Mollie say biting and unkind things on purpose to hurt people, or boasting about her possessions?" , "I suppose you mean that I do." And Kate sat still on the swing, and flung her curls bsck with an angry gesture. "Yet Mollie has got some money, you know, of Aunt Clare would not make such a fuss of her. Harriet says that she is sure she meant; to marry her to Henri; 1 heard her. But Jane says that with my persttion I ou&ht to marry a tide; and 1 intend to." And having delivered fieYseii of these sentiments in her high childish voice she pushed the swing off with one thin, black-siik-stuckinged les. "Who arc Jane and Harriet?" asked Joyce shortly. "My servants." "Oh! A3id when you marry this nobleman, suppose you have two dear little girls, you will naturally leave this property to the younger?" "Certainly not; chat would not be fair. I should leave the most to the elder, or divide it." Kate had begun with lofty eioquence, then she caught Joyce's eye, and, being a very quick child, saw the pit into which she had fallen, and stopped abruptly. "You think Mollie has not been properly treated? The people in Reverton think so," she ended, below her breath. "Thai has nothing to do with us, Kate," Joyce said gravely. "But if you can see this, perhaps—though you are so young—you can also see how well Mollie behaves. She does not grudge you anything; though Chalfont was her home before you were born. She never says bitter things to you. yet who has the most reason? I wonder you don't love her!" Joyce never forgot the strange old look on the little thin face, as the child glanced at her after a dead pause. There wa3 something both sad and weird about it; she might have been a hundred, with all the cares of life on her small shoulders, and looking at her Joyce remembered with a wave of compassion that she was but 10, and, if report said true, her life had never been as other chlldren'3. She had been a tiol in her fathei's hands from bi:th: she was one in her aunt's now. Spoiled from policy, neglected from want cf affection, left to the care of ignorant servants, who flattered her for their own ends and rilled her head with nonnense, what chance had the unfortunate little hcircs? had? < "Cone along," she said^ holding out her hand to the silent child, "I see my mother beckoning to us from the drawing room window; let us run and call the others in for some tea." CHAPTER V. The White House was one of the most comfortable of homes; no dissension was ever heard there. The very servants, who bad been, in Mrs. Anstruther'8 service for years, seemed to share the prevailing harmony of contentment, and took a pride in serving the family faithfully. And Mollie could not but notice the difference as, after a somewhat quiet walk home along the country road that separated the two houses by about a mile, the gates of Chalfont had clanged to behind them, and a morose-looking maid opened the hall door. No household could have been happy under Madame Dubois' tyrannical rule, Mollie had quite made up her mind to that; and also another point—namely: That both mother and son were to be kept at arm's length; that she was a L'Estrange, and could not—could not —stantl them! And she had walked home in a ferment of indignation because Henri, after all the rebuffs she had given him, had actually dared to call her "Mollee" before the Anstruthers and a few vlstors who had come in, and assumed airs of proprietorship as he marched them home. So as Kate skipped off after the sulky-looking maid, sh^ turned abruptly to the young man, who was lounging in the doorway furtively watching her with a faint cynical smile in his round black eye3. She was but a school girl, this young English mees, tilt she was adorably pretty, with a skin—ah, such lovely white skin— what would notjCelestine or Lucie give for it! "Monsieur Dubois." she said gently, fixing her clear gray eye3 upon his dark face, "now my half-sister is gone I wish to speak to you—to remind you that we are mere acquaintances, and to such I am not 'Mollie,' but Miss L'Estrange. I am sorry you have forced me to mention this. I hoped that you understood it." For a moment they stood facing each other, but her eyes never quailed before his; she had spirit and courage, this mere school girl, he recognized, yet a very evil look came into his face for a second ere he replied: "And why for not, mademoiselle; you are my mother's ward, and that long-legged Anstruther he calls you what he please, doesn't he?" "The Anstruthers are old family friends," she said hurriedly. "But ii is not. a subject to argue. I limply state my wishes, which I feel sure you will respect." "Do not be too confident/' he muttered bet^^een his teeth. "It is possible that I may resent being treated worr,e than this other fellow—" "You have no right to resent, anything, monsieur," she interrupted, with a haughty gesture. "I am alone here, but I can appeal to Madame Dubois, as 1 am in her care." And she paused irresolutely as his mocking laugh #dl upon her ear. "Eah. mademoiselle, she lives but. for me!" he said, with veiled insolence. "I am master here." It was true Mollie's heart w?s beatinjr uncomfortably fast; the prospect looked gloomy; but she had plenty of spirit, and Henri's whole manner was so detestable that her pride came to her aid and stilled her fears. "If I am not treated with ordinary politeness, and allowed to live in peace, I shall complain to my trustees," she retorted, with flashing eyes. "Of no use at all." he returned, wirh a sweeping bow. Then, coming closer and laying a small claw-like hand on her arm.: "See here. Mol-lee, you are in my mother's power absolutely for twi years, and she has an awful temper when opposed. You had better be friends with me. I, Henri Dubois-. o.Tec ycu my friendship." Mollie shrank from his touch, from the sound of his thin, false voice, with unutterable loathing, realizing, poor child! with terrible distinctness that, like the man in the parable, she had fallen among thieves; theu .*ho drew back, throwing un her head with a scornful je:k, while her knees trembled so much that she leaned back .ignickt. the door for support. <r "You have again disregarded* D?:> wisbes, monsieur." And by a great effort she spoke firmly. "I have nothing more to say." And she went down the.stcrs into the garden. (To be Continued.) Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound is Especially Successful in Curing this Fatal Woman's Disease. Of all the diseases known with which the female organism is afflicted, kidney disease is the most fatal. In fact, unless early and correct treatment i s applied, the weary patient seldom survives. Being fully aware of this, Mrs. Pinkham, early in her career, gave exhaustive study to the subject, and in producing her great remedy for woman's ills —Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound—was careful to see that i t contained the correct combination of herbs which was sure to control that fatal disease, woman's kidney troubles. The Vegetable Compound acts in harmony with the laws that govern the entire female system, and while there are many so called remedies for kidney troubles, Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound is the only one especially prepared for women. The following letters will show how marvellously successful it i s : Aug. 6, 1899. *• D^A.B MRS.

J^T Clever Tricks Employed to HnUm a I.I vine Out of Hotel* Without i uylu? Most persons are willing to see ihelr names in print, but theve is one paper published in New York to appear in which means more than disgrace. It is called "The Hotel Debtor Registor," and is published at 29 East Forty-second street. While its circulation is private, it is more or less extensive. It reaches the managers of nearly every hotel in the country. The object of the Register is to warn hotel proprietors against the type of "guest" who believes in enjoying the best of life without paying for it. Don't imagine that the non-payment of a debt at a hotel is forgotten. Your name goes abroad, no matter how small the amount you owe or what your intentions were in avoiding payment. But this is not the only means employed by hotel management to protect itself. Nearly every large hotel has an efficient detective force. The chief detective of on of the largest and finest hotels in th world, situated in this city, has described some of his experiences for the Sunday World. "You have no idea," he said, "how many persons come to this hoiel for the purpose of doingMt. There are all sorts of dodges employed by clever persons to make their living out of hotels without payment. "John Smith will come here, for instance, and engage a room. He will hand over the counter a couple of baggage checks and ask to have his trunks brought up from the station. Mr. Smith dresses in the latest style. and has the outward appearance of a multimillionaire. "He will be shown to his room. He will then casually ask the bell-boy to conduct him to the dining-room. The boy complies. Mr. Smith will order an elaborate dinner, charge it to his room and then—walk out of the hotel. The trunk checks are bogus. "Another smart trick is for a man to rush mto the hotel from an adjoining store. His hat will be off, and he • ii VL|^ftiH nave the appearance of a cleric in 1 o » " r t h e 8 t o r e H e n a g ie a r n e c i the name of the store manager, and he will say: " 'We have a check for $50 in the store and are short of change. The banks are closed. Mr. Jones, our manager, asked me to see if you would cash-it.' "Usually the, clerk at the hotel desk gives an affirmative answer, and the man goes out for the apparent purpose of getting the check from the manager. In five minutes he returns, presents his check and gets it cashed. This is a time-honored performance—and yet it often succeeds. "A rather elaborate scheme which Is often worked is the following: A man comes and puts up for a day or two, He is seen often in the lobby, spends, considerable money in the cafe, and then goes away, paying his bill. In a few days he returns. The clerk whose acquaintance he has made welcomes him back. He remains this time a week and auietj.y slips off .with .a Pis For Sale. A good milch cow 6 years old, due to calve Oct. 1. Inquire of A. Straith 4 mile east of Birkett. »111111.11.» ^ w p X bill unsettled. W* t r u a i la » U or oifc books or worthless Articles. "Few hotels will cash check* now for guests, 1>ut sometimes we *et b*41y caught for large amounts. "A well-known traveling salesman came here not long ago and got $600. The check was good only for $60, another cipher having been added to the number. We had cashed similar checks for him before, and supposed the one he presented to be all right. "Some of the worst hotej beats are wealthy persons. Somehow they hate to pay a bill. They'll go off without payment, and it is only after we have threatened exposure that we are ab.e to extract our money. "Then there are the impersonators of well-known men. They have earda engraved with the names of bankers and rich railroad and mining men. Their make-up is modelled on that of their originals. We are often taken in by impostors of this description—bui sometimes they meet their Waterloo. "A man came here not long ago who said he was a well-known mine owner from Helena, Mont. As luck would have it, the mine owner himself was staying at the hotel and was well known to the clerk. We captured the impostor promptly and he is now 'doing time.* "No end of meals are obtained for nothing, and it is difficult to keep proper check on the dining-room without giving offense. "It may be incredible, but It is true, that many of the hotel swindlers are or are thought to be—high-class persons. They have no means to live up to their tastes, and seem willing to sacrifice even their honor to satisfy their aDnetUes." K e e p Clear of (inpen, Keep chicks on clean ground, and they will escape gapes. Gapes seldom appear on new locations. It is on the old farms, on ground that has been occupied for years by poultry, that gapes destroy so many chicks. As a precaution, scatter air-slacked lnne freely over the ground again. If a gill of spirits of turpentine be thoroughly mixed with each peck of lime ti will be an advantage. By so doing the gapes may be prevented. If lice are suspected, examine the hen first, as all lice on the chicks come from the hen. If lice are found, dust the hen and chicks with fresh Dalmatian insect-powder, holding them downward so as to get it well into the feathers, and rub a few drops of melted lard well into the skin of the heads and necks. Of course, their quarters must be cleaned of lice. also. This may be done by sponging the boxes well with coal-oil. touching a lighted match to it and allowing (he fire to run over the boxes, both inside and outside. Then dust the boxes well with insect-powder and examine them frequently.— C. F. Fox, in The Market Basket. A html I I X C o w * . The cow must not be abused either by word or action, and it is the duty ot the dairyman to see that she is not. if he abuses her he is not fit to own her. If the hired man abuses her punish the hired man, and to do that make a contract with him at the beginning that if he abuses the cow he shall not only suffer dismissal but shall forfeit a portion of his monthly wages. Many cows are injured by abuse, for a rap on the spine or on the udder may inflict great damage. Prof. Willard has said that he always insists that the milker study the disposition of the cows under his charge; that ho become familiar or acquainted with each animal, patting them, or in othei ways making them understand that he is friendly and fond of them. When once their confidence has been obtained in this way they will exhibit affection in return, and will yield in the Increased quantity of milk more than snough to pay for the time and trouble Siven to the purpose indicated. Some cows are extremely nervous and excitable; such require caution and al- :ention in management, otherwise :hey soon become worthless tor the dairy.—Dairyman. L. H. F I E L D . Jackson, Mich.

SUNDAY SCHOOL AS30 CI ATI01C. Haabarg Township Sunday Schools meet at lorta Hambarg. On Sunday afternoon last the Sunday schools of Hamburg township met at the North Hamburg church and held a regular annual m eeting of their assoiation. The church was crowded and the program was carried out as published in last week's issue of the DISPATCH. Every paper read was excellent and the discussion which followed brought out much good. The only thing lacking perhaps was the want of time to discuss the papers and Sunday school work more thoroughly. Special music was furnished by Walla Cook and Erwin Ball, and a recitation by Miss Bern ice Greer, all of which served to enliven the occasion. A great effort is being made to organize the township of the county more thoroughly and get all' into working line. . There is certainly much need of more thorough work in the Sundy schools of the county and every fath ir and mother are requested to their share towards bringing the children into the schools. The nest association will be held at Whitmore Lake Sunday afternoon and evening next, Oct. 7. HOWELL STREET FAIR. k Howell(Injr) Success Both In Numbers and Financially.

The exhibits were fine—in fact the sheep exhibit contained about 70 more sheep than at the state fair. The floral hall was a great attraction for the ladies as it was full of fancy work of the'finest kind. The floral parade each day was one of the finest ever seen in the state. People gazed at the different rig3 in wonderment. It would be impossibleto describe the decorations—they must he seen to be appreciated—and we think they were seen one in this and adjoining counties.

Wliile requiring a warm climate, it will not endure severe drouth. Crimson clever has come into prominence in this country within comparatively recentr years." It can hardly be regarded as a saaeeessful crop outside of the region from New Jersey, west to the Alleghany mountains and south <to ea-stam Tennessee and Texas.

In the middle and. south Atlantic states this clover is one of the beet crops that can be grown for forage and so:l rs novation. It has givejr/good results in many portions of the gulf state:, but many failures -are also reported. la the colder sections of the country this clover is some.Imes successfully grown as a summer crop, but it'usually winter- kills badly when sown in the autumn.

Some writers for farm papers have declared that it was a mistake for termers to allow the manufacture of milk into butter and cheese to leave the farm. It may have .been so in some particular cases which these critic* had in their "mind's eye," but aectnding to my experience oieamsrUa, Wiien established in localities that within reaching distance to keep thorn ' have a sufficient number of farmers running to their full capacity the year round, are a benefit to their patrons, and reasonably profitable to their owners'. If it was a mistake to permit the manufacture of butter and cheese to leave the farm, why was it not a mi *- take to permit the manufacture of wool, and flax into clcth, to leave the farm? There are people still living who can remember the time when the hand cards, for carding wool, the big wheel for spinning the rolls, or , , bats," the reel for reeling the yarn from the spindle, the quill-wheel for putting the yarn on "quills" for the shuttle, the loom for weaving the clcth, and the dye tub for coloring, could be found in nearly every house. It was the same with flax which was "roted." broken In a "break," swingled, ha.tcheled, spun on a little wheel, and woven in a hand loom on the farm. The argument against creameries is equally effectual against all manufacturing establishments and labor-saving machines, and would, if carried cut. slowly lead us back to the rude implements of barbarism. Why did the farmers permit the rare ' \g machines, the spinning jacks and the power looms to drive thom oirt t,t the business ot making cloth? It v,as because machinery driven by water or steam power could do.the work so much faster and cheaper than it •was possible to do it on the farm. It is the same with the manufacture of m'lk Into butter and cheese. As a rule, it can be done more quickly, better and cheaper at t"e faetorleiv. Tliera Is no question that people who are constantly doing but one thins become expert In doing it. Seme farmers and their wives caa make just as good butter as the creamery men. but that ,all do not do it, is proven by the (higher price the creamery butter bringB in all the markets. Nobody will dispute that business can be done on a large scale cheaper than on a small one. The man who churns, works, salts, packs and ships 1,000 pounds of butter in a rlay can do it cheaper than the man who churns but ten. although he may do some other work besides.

Crimson clover has a high feeding and fertilizing valus, and is one of the best crops that can be grown in short rotations fcr forage and soil renovation, lending itself readily to use for hay, pasturage, soiling, »-; lagc green manure, and as a soil cover to prevent leaching and washing. The crop should be cut for hay or before full bloom, and for seed soon as ripe; in the latter cast should be thrashed or put under cove as soon as dry. there will be ". profit in so doing. The objection to keeping her see in dark Stables is that the walls are apt to be damp and horses do not do well in darrip stables. A pig ought to we*gh two hundred pounds at six months old. This can be accomplished by ueing proper care in the feeding and not stuffing. Calves should not be led together. The big ones always crowd ^he little their clean ones out and get more than sihare. Calves should be fed in buckets one at,a time. A hog should not be allowed to wallow in the watering trough. Sticks nailed across the top every two feet will prevent this. Hogs should do their wallowing in the ravines. What a Whale Weighs. Have you any idea of the size of the common Greeland Whale? N 1- son, the zoologist, estimates the fullgrown animal to average 100 tons, or 224,000 pounds. That is to say, a whale weighs as much as abont eighty elephants or 400 bears. Of coune some run larger than this. There are tales among old whalers of whales 110 feet long, and weighing at least 150 tons, but they are not seen in these days. A seventy-foot whale is a big one now. Still, it may give seme idea of what monsters are occasionally killed when we mention that a ton of oil has been extracted from the tongue alone of a single whale. Daily Items.

I see where I made another mistake or two of them. I wanted a couple of shade-trees en the outer edge of the lawn, and decMed that they might as well be frult-trees~and bear something besides leaves as not, so after looking the matter up a little, I planted two Stark apples. To be sure, they are trees, and they shade the spots where they are, but they are about as ornamental as old sak-barrels. If I had known what I do now their places would now be occupied by Grimes' Golden trees. These are neat, compact and really ornamental ^ treas. while tbe fruit is notsunpas el by any apple that grows. Along the path to tbe gate I decided to plant *»* -»thcr fruLi-bearing shade-tree, and like a ndnny selected a Howell pear. If any. body can see an atom of ornament about itt I should be glad to have it pointed out. The fruit is flrs>t-clas8, but tha sthspe of the tree is any hing but fair to look upon. Had I planted Instead either a Keiffcr or Kocnce pear I would now have a tree that wouldf >e an ornament to any ground. The fruit of the Kedffer, when properly riipened, is good for dessert, and excellent stewed. cannei or in pies, while that of the Koonc3. which is an early pear, is good any way. own.

Some persons who have just returned from the neighborhood of Huast.ca Potosina, where they were in search of coal, report the discovery of a very wonderful cave in the mountainous regions of that country. It is decorated inside in a very elaborate manner and Is evidently the temple of an aboriginal god. In fact, there is now in the cave a huge stone image of an Indian idol. From indications it is evident that the idol is still receiving the worshp of the natives. It Is thought that this worship may have been going on for many years in the same place, and that the natives, when they found that they could not carry on their heathen worship openly, took the idol to the cave and there fitted up for it the best and most elaborate temple their facllitlee afforded.—> Mexican Herald.

When a political editor snaps his fingers and declares tbe Anti- Saloon League influence "did not amount to that in the laat election,'* and then devotes a leading £sery_ week-or-two-iowriting us-down, his words and conduct do not seem to be constructed on the ordinary lines of human nature. Occasionally we yet come across some petrified fosal of the ante diluvian age of, intelectual and spiritual development who thinks that-to preach what he call the "gospel" is the preacher's only mission and that it ought to be left to apply itself, instead of being fitted to the case before ns. Which reminds us of the man who was always "in favor of the law but agin its enforcements." We believe there is pure beer brewed, but not much.

A $1.25 piece is rated at $12.50, and what is known as a n "extraordinary" crown at ?50. This is because in 1892 the die makers gave the bullock-wagon shafts, Instead of a pole (or disselboom.) All coins from half-sovereigns downward were to struck, and got into circulation before the error was discovered. Any one of these coins fetches more than $5. There is likely, by the way, to be a elump in the > rating of Transvaal postage stamps, for a Pretoria official s a y s that he h a s overprinted stamps to the value of $1,500,000. Of coarse educated deaf mutes get to be pretty handy with their pencils. They h a v e 4 p write all their c o m m u n i - cations to speaking people, and' do s o very rapidly. The Rev. A. W, Mann is a deaf mute missionary and exp*» 1 penman. F o r twenty-five y e a r s h e h a s made missionary trips to deaf mute churches, not alone in t h i s country, but in foreign lands. Mr. Mann writes throw the line into another church pond and bring out a Presbyterian, or there is a religious row in s j m e nei£hborlng church, and a whole school ol: nsh s w i m off from that poud, and we take them all in with one sweep of t h s net. W h a t is gained? Absolutely nothing for the cause of Christ. W h a t strengthens an army is new recruits. W h i l e courteous to those coming from other flocks, we should build our churches not out of other churches, but out of the world, lest wc build o n another man's foundation. T h e fact is, this is a big world. When, in our schoolboy days, w e learned the diameter and circumference of this planet, we did not learn half. It Is the latitude and longitude and diameter and circumference of want^and woe a n d sin that no figures can calculate. T h i s one spiritual continent of wretchedness reaches across all zones, and if I were called to give its geographical boundary I would s a y it w a s bounded on the north and south and east and west by the great hep.rt of God's sympathy and love. Oh, it is a great world! Since 6 o'clock this morning 60,800 persons have been born, and all these multiplied populations are to be reached by the gospel. In England or in our eastern American cities we arc being much crowded, and an acre of ground is of great value, but in western America 500 acres is a small farm and 20,000 acres is no unusual possession. There is a r a s t field here and everywhere unoccupled, plenty of room more, not building on another man's foundation. The Spirit of Evangelism. We need as churches to stop bombarding the old ironclad sinners t h a t have been proof agaifl&t 30 years of Christian assault. Alas for that church which lacks the spirit of evangelism, spending on one chandelier enough to light 500 souls to glory, and in one carved pillar enough to have made a thousand men "pillars in the house of our God forever" and doing less good than m a n y a log cabin meeting house with tallow candles stuck in wooden sockets and a m i n - ster who has never seon a college and does not know the difference between Greek and Choctaw. We need ,as churches to get into sympathy w i t h the great outside world and let t h e m know that none are s o broken hearted or hardly bestead that they will n o t be welcomed. " N o ! " says some fast.!( tious Christian. - "I don't like to b e crowded in church, Don't put any one in my pew." My brother, what will you do in h e a v e n ? W h e n a great multitude that no man can number assembles, they will put 50 in your pew. W h a t are the select few today assembled in the Christian churches comparnl with the mightier m i l l i o n s outside of t h e m ? Many of the churches are like a h o s - pital that should advertise that its patients m u s t h a v e n o t h i n g worse than toothache or "runrounds," but n o broken heads, n o crushed ankles, n o fractured thighs. Give u s for treatment moderate sinners, v e l v e t coated s i n - n e r s and sinners with a gloss on. It is a s though a m a n had a farm of 3,000 acres and put all his work on one acre. H e may raise never s o large ears of corn, never s o b i g heads of wheat, he would remain poor. The. church of Utudes today w h o have never had a n y Christian worker look them in the e y e and with earnestness in the accentuation say "Come," or th*y would l o n g ago have been In the kingdom. My friends, religion is either a sham or a great reality. If it be a sham, let us disband our churches and Christian associations. If it bo a realtiy, t h e n great populations arc on the way to the bar of God unfitted for the ordeal.. And what are we d o i n g ? Dealing with Skeptics. • Comparatively .little effort a s yet has been made to save that large e l a s i of persons in our midst called skeptics, and he w h o goes to work here will nui be building upon another man's foundation. There is a large number of them. They arc afraid of us una our churches for the reason w e do not k n e w how to treat them. One of this class met Christ. And hear with w h a t tenderness and pathos and beauty and success Christ dealt with him: "Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart i;r.d with all thy soul and with all thy 'mind and with all thy strength. This is tho first and great commaud;ncnt, and the second Is like unto 1L—-namely, thou chalt love thy neighbor as thyself. There i3 none other comma:;dinci:t greater t h a n these." And the scribe said to hlni, "Well, master, thou h a s t said the truth, for there is one God, ana u> love him with all the heart and all the understanding and all the soul and all the strength is more than whole burnt cfierrngs and sacrifices." And when Jesus s a w that he answered discreetly he said unto him, "Thou art not far from the kingdom of God." You would n e t be so rough on that man if you knew how he lost his faith in Christianity. I have known m e n skeptical from the fact that they, grew up in houseB w h e r e religion w a s overdone. Sunday w a s the most awfol day in the week. They had religion driven into them w i t h a trip hammer. They were surfeited with prayer meetings. They were stuffed and choked with catechisms. They were oftsn told that they were the worst boys the parents ever knew, because t h e y liked to ride dev/n hill better than to read Bunyan's "Pilgrim's Progress." Whenever father and mother talked ot religion, they drew down the corners of their mouth and rolled up their eyes. If any one thing will send a b e y or girl to ruin sooner than another, t h a t is it. if I had such a father and mother I fear 1 should h a v e been an infidel. Infuktl fn Christians. Others were tripped up to skepticism from being grievously wronged by some man w h o protei^ed to be a Christian. T h e y bad a partner in business w h o turned out to be a firsi class scoundrel, though a professed Christian.

'"Co, I know row thiuk us the dirt .lieAfift£k.j.aiir..ieet].". hs Mewed, his | face livid, as he twirled his little black moustache and glared at her with unwining admiration. "We are nothing, no no; but it is those who win laugh, ah, yes! 1 snap my fingers at Reverton, for which we are not good enough; but they shall accept us, though they did not my amlaBte uncle, whom, I allow, you had no cause to love." "I shall certainly let all Reverton know if I am made unhappy here," she answered, with a st'.dden flash of comprehension, under which Henri winced. "Per Mr. Barlowe, I had little cauEe to like him; but he is dead! he came to a terrible end! Have you any chance of discovering who killed him, or why?" So intent had they been in their conversation that they had been 00- iivioua to the clans of the garden gate und the sound of wheels. ^As Mollie turned quickly to see Madame Dubois driving up,-the horses lathered by their reckless speed, but well in hand, she did not notice that Henri's face had gone a sickly yellow, that the fingers holding a cigarette suddenly crushed it as in a vice. Madame looked from Mollie's flushed face, to her son's sullen, dark one, as she drew up, and her lips tightened; but the girl entered the house before her, and, once out of eighty dashed to her own room. What was she to do? she thought, as with clenched hands she paced her room. What could she do but keep her eyes open, and bear it? She was surprised to find that she was neither frightened nor dismayed; indeed, wondering more what Reggie would think if he knew—Reggie, whose blue eyes had given a sudden flash as that "Mollee" had caught his ear. Yet it was a matter of relief when niadame appeared as usual at dinner, even making a little show of affection for her, though looking pale and distraught, while Henri was effusively polite. But nothing could prevent the evening being dreary and constrained, and as early as she could, she bade mother and son_good night. At the far end of the large square hall was the hand- ~some~oak door of Mr. Barlowe's-stud and she paused at the foot of the stairs to regard it with a felling akin to awe. What scene had that closed door witnessed 12 month8 ago that very night? What was the Becret of Leonard Barlowe's tragic death? Well indeed it was for Mollie that the future i3 hidden from us: that she could not foresee the manner in which the truth would be revealed! As she went slowly up stairs the drawing room door opened suddenly it was with a sigh that she put her elbows on the toilet table and dropped her white chin into them. All the evening her thoughts had been back with her mother—remembertng her fonows and sufferings— and yet there kept running ia her mind a!ao the word* she had just read, "Love rour enemies." Ah! how impossible it seemed; to how many more than poor littie Mollie has it appeared too,hard a precept to follow! But she.struggled for it, asking help from above to tjrgive Leonard Barlowe, and endeavor to Hve in peace with her relatives, returning good for evil. A hasry rattling at the door handle, Kate*3 voice screaming, roused her, and, running to open it. the child almost fell against her, her thin little face colorless, her tiny hand3 grasping, as if for dear life., at the folds of her dressing gown. "Let mo stay with you, dear, dear Mollie!" she sobbed and sighed. "I cannot—cannot stop alone; I should die!" It was terrible to «ee • the nervous excitement, the fc?>r that shook the child from head to foot, an ! as Mollie caught her up she only remembered that she was hsr mother's baby, the litt'.e sister she had tried to love. Shutting the doer, sho caviled her to the window, pauping to wrap a rug round her, for she svag in her small night gown, just an she had jumped out of bad, and shivering violently. "Yes, yes, you shall stay with mc," she said soothingly, in her round, soft [ voice,- "But what is • the matter?! Where are-Jane and Harriet?" "Jane has gone; she said she was net going to, stay in this house tonight for anything we could offer her. She just got the gardener's boy to take her box after dark, and went. I don't know what Aunt Clare will say, and harriet will not &leep in my room without her." "What! they both slept there?" "Yet, because of the strange noise* and Mid thiaga.

But 1 would not go until nurse cahed me, and she told me my father was dead* I asked what mado hlzn die, and she said: 'Want of breath.' And then heaps of people came, and there, was a bequest." "Inquest," corrected Mollie, with a shiver, the little girl's words bringing the whole scene before her with startling vividness; then, as she felt that Kate was again shuddering in her arms, she added: "But we will not think of it any more." ul can't help tt!*V she moaned, trembling. "Something in black has glided up and down the passage ever since. That door is heard to open acd shut when every one is in bed. All the servants know this, and won't stay. Ask them." "Oh, Kate, this is really nonsense!" Mollie exclaimed in horror; then, drawing back the blind she pointed to the still, quiet night without, where the soft breeze was sighing through the budding .trees, the moon riding serene in the dark blue sky above. "And see* even the weather is different this year. Look at the beautiful world God has given us to live in! And if wo are good He will certainly take care of us; we need fear nothing. Why, even a little sparrow cannot fall to the ground but what H? sees it; and we are His children, whom the Lord Christ came to save." r Kate drank in her words with a look of old intelligence that made her seem as if she had never been a child. But as Mollie put her into bed, two slight arms were suddenly flung round the soft white throat, and she whispered with passionate fervor: "Oh, I am glad—I am awfully glad that God has given me you for a sister, Mollie." But long after the little one had fallen asleep, Mollie sat by Jher. thinking, thinking—what did it all mean? CHAPTER VI. Who had killed Leonard Barlowe? For days Mollie pondered over this question, and another one that would keep coming back to her—had the Dubois any private knowledged that had not been published to the world? They must have known more of Mr. Barlowe, his past life and enemies, than any outsider could possibly do. Henri had hated his uncle, she knew, yet surely he had had no hand in sending hint out of the world; that could not be the aetata? of madame's wild words! That he was eoW-WoodeU and cynical to a degree about everything save himself was clear; but it beating-I could not breathe.

Something passed me in the passage; rTelr~it~b" against me. It was a ghost, wasn't it?" And she cowered down into Mollie's arms, a pitiable object indeed. Kate was almost beside herself, and it was leng ere Mollie could calm her agitation. Inwardly the sister's heart burned with wrath against the two maids, who in their own ignorant fear had left this highly-strung child alone at siii-h ;i time, after the shock of the preceding year. Seriously alarmed, she rubbed the icy little hands and and madame came out and walked j feet, talking cheerfully the while, and swiftly across to the closed door, her j then recked to and i'ro until the usually stately, step faltering and"Ti7T-~pnrraT!rtnirsi,»iw qui«UM-rHTid-th*Hhtxen-f—tt-was-in vain Mollie protested hoteven, her face wild and haggard; but ere she had gone many yards Henri had slipped after her, caught her by the arm, and pulled her roughly back. "Let me go!" she cried excitedly. "Have you not tormented me enough? —you, for whom I have borne everything; you, whom I have shielded?" "There, don't make a fuss and rouse the place!" he said hoarsely. "For heaven's sake come back and calm yourself. What is the use of getting She thrust the thought from her, .and determined to try and think no evil—a gcod resolution put to a very hard test when she discovered that her freedom was gone, and that madame was always making slighting re- j marks upon the Anstruthers, implying ^ that Mrs. Anstruther was a worldly mother,, who had engaged hc-r daughter to a rich man, and was now seeking an heiress for her son. About this latter, indeed, she shook her head ominously; she had heard ta4e3 of him —he was a terrible flirt, or worse. head lay still on her shoulder, while • iy that the youag naval officer to whom she hummed the old lullaby which had sounded in.her own drov.sy ears v/heu she was a little child.

Certainly she had plenty of opportunity of discovering these vir In a frenzy because an unfortunate' j » * at night in the dark, when I am j tues in Henri, had they existed for he frightened. I always say all I can [ spent event has happened in the house, and the greater part of his time the servants say it is haunted? Come back, I say!" And the drawing room door closed again on their angry voices without either having perceived Mollie's presence on the stairs above. She went on to her room down the dimly-lighted corridors, for ma dame was economical in lights in some instances. There was a feeling of unrest and mystery abroad in the house tonight, more to be felt than described, which unconsciously influenced her. She wilted she were not so young. How long it seemed since she had left her peaceful German life behind, and been plunged into a sea of difficulties; yet she would not have gone back. Unbidden rose the thought that there was no Reggie in-Hanover. She took her Bible and read a chaptor, trying to fix her thoughts on the Batter day that would soon dawn, the day oar Lord rose from the dead. The want bid dressing gown in which she was wrapped accentuated the brightness ef her hair, and her lovely face shewed aweet and thoughtful in the 9M light, but a» she doted the booh think of," caid the child, with quaint innocence, ail the self-importance knocked out of her for the moment by terror. She listened very quietly when Mollie tried to show her that this was wrong, and then her thoughts went back, to the last Easter eve, and sh? spoke of her father. "It was very cold—oh. very!" she said reflectively. "He took me out in the dogcart, and I cried with the cold, so he was cross. I did not know he was going to die. you see, or I would have tried not to." "But you loved him. Kate?" "Pretty well." she responded truthfully, "for she had not words to express what she was sharp enough to know-that her father had cared for her for what she had represented to him. "When I went to the study to say good night to him. he called out he was busy, su I went away. Next | morning when I awoke the snow was thick, and I heard screams and shrieks, so I jumped out of bed and ran to the tap of the stairs and looked down, and all the servants were there at hanging about her, and she grew heartily tired of him and the tales of his gay Parisian life. Why did he not return to it? she thought wearily. WThy did he stay on here, rolling his black eyes at her sentimentally, and pretending that Reverton was now more to him than Paris? "It is because I am an heiress," she thought wrathfully, when he had accompanied her to the Anstruthers, and kept so close to her that she had .been unable to have the good grumble to Joyce that would have relieved her pent-up feelings. "Oh, this hateful money! My mothers' life was ruined for it, and they would ruin mine. But I am not so gentle as she; and madame will And that 1 have a will of my own. I think she suspects it, for sometimes I see her eyes fixed on me with such a strange expression. Qod forgive mo if I wrong them; but somehow I mistrust them utterly." (To be continued.) As a rule hard luck never asso;l- •tea with prudence and Industry. \ "Icouid'ntSew anoflier SHtchM Save my life/' A gorgeous costume flashed beneath the brilliant lights of a ball room. The queen of society is radiant to-night. The nervous hands of a weak woman have toiled day and night, the weary form and aching head hare known no rest, for the dress must be finished in time. To that queen of society and her dressmaker we would eay a word. One through hothouse culture, luxury, and social excitement, and the other through the toil of necessity, may some day find their ailments a common cause. Nervous prostration, excitability, fainting spells, dizziness, sleeplessness, loss of appetite and strength, all indicate serious trouble, which has been promoted by an over-taxed system. For the society queen and the dressmaker alike, there is nothing so reliable as Lyditi E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound to restore strength, vigor, and happiness. Mrs. Uzzic Anderson, 49 Union St., Salem, N. J., writes; 14 DFAB MBS. PISKIIAM :—T feci it is my duty to write and tell you how grateful I am to you for what your medicine has done for me. At one time I suffered everything" a woman could. I had inflammation of the ovaries, falling of the womb, and leucorrhoea., At times could not hold a needle to sew. The first d03e of your Vegetable Compound helped me so much that I kept on using it. I have now taken six bottlos and am well and able to do my wotk. I also ride a wheel and feel no bad effects from it. 1 am thankful to the Giver of all good for giving you the wisdom of curing suffering" women.

There are little kinks in farming that deserve the naane of being new industries, and' when they are carried to buoce&s in & novel way the discoverer should receive full credit I wonder U there Is.any other man engaged in the same pursuit as a neighbor of mine, j'Vho goes about buying up all oheaa) stock, chickens and other farm animals that have a market. His Idea Is that there are plenty of poorly fed farm animals in the country, which If given a few weeks or months of careful attention and feeding, could be turned Into first-class marketable products. Acting on this Idea he scours the country In. ate wagon and even advertises for poor, lean cattle, horses fowls, swine, and even ducks and geese. Anything, in fact, that provides meat for the markets, come under bla speciality. He is a good buyer, and never pays more for the animals than they are worth. He makes frequent tripe to c!t:es, where he manages to1 buy young, half-starved horses, wfaich he ships out to his farm, fe:ds well, cuiies ttarouighiy; "and then sends them back to the city to sell for nearly double the price he paid for them. His work is a good Illustration of the value of good keeping and good feeding in preparing animals for market. H»> claims thait he can always sell his horFes and cattle at an advance of $1 per day for {She time he keeps them on the farm. Some require much longer time .than others to make them marketable, but a s * rule he can make-the. transformation inside of a month Good feeding and daily currying not only make the horses look stronger and fatter, but their coat gets sleek and glcesy, and completely changes the animal's cpnearance. In the case of cattle and swine it is merely a question of fattening proiper'y, and this Is accomplished by good feeding and not too much exerc'ee. The farm Is divided up into fattening or feeding pens and pasture lots. Connected witih it are extensive fields of corn, grass, rye and oats, where nearly all the food ia raised necessary to keep the cattle. He never radsfe or breed's young cattle on the place, but depends entirely upon buying and selling. Thus hi3 stock Is constantly changing. Quick sales and qu ck profit3 arc he ra>tto and he generally sur'^rxla in ge ting both. In may rot be possible for many others to gp into this t.u 1 .ess, but th'.s brief account of what one man has accomplished may emphasize the value of good, feeding and keeping. Many a farmer undoubtedly fail:* to get full value for bis stock, and simply because tlhey have not been fed properly to bring out their qualities.-—C. W. Jones m • HOG NOTES. ANDERSON.

FAR9IFOHSALE A good farm of 120 acres within two miles of the Tillage for sale at a reasonable price. Anyone desiring farm property will do well to call at tbit offieo lor particular!. ~ Growing hogs should not be confined. Have the Quarters lor the hogs clean and dry. Give growing hog* a ra*!oa to produce bone and moacto. A good tight miany feeding place will save feed. No animal about the farm gives a better return than the hog. _ It dulls the aTupetit^ to lay food before the hogs aBl of the time. While ihogs do not require an expensive shelter, it Is very^ important that it be dry. It is not good economy to feed the fattening hogs, the growing p'gs and the brood sows together. If there are young pigs to be wintered a good shelter-should be provided In good season. As long as the breeding animals are doing well it will generally be found good policy to kesvp them. In breeding especial care should be taken to avoid a cross where the same, r-existr4n both sides. The sanitary condltlore of both, sire and dam has muoh to do with the offspring. The hog having a variety of food will thrive and maintain a healthy appearance longer than one kept on corn alone.- If a plank floor lrf" put in" toe **<**• Ing quarters hav<i it close-to the ground; a raised floor Is generally a cold one. Judgment in breel ing is the outcome of experience. A m*n may have lots of experience and yet lack judgment. In selecting the breeding anlma'e U le quite an Hem to know that thev are from a family noted tor their 'lentil*t*.' Desirable breoUng qualities are fixed In a herd by a long line of careful selection and breeding. One of the best if not the best remedy for worms in hogs la a little turpentine mixed in with the fc-od or drink for four or five days Th.s is also a good remedy for thumps. Xot«* of poultry* A plan for supplying the public wtth fresh egg» Is being tried in Germany in the hopes that :fc will increase the demand for a strictly fresh article. Egg depots are to be established in the principal olties ait which the quality and freshness of th? egga will be guaranteed. For e*ery bad egg bought th* purchaser is entitled to get 15 go>d ones. Every poultryman has to mark all eggs which he sends to one of these depots in such a way th^t they can b^ traced back to him, and if it is found (that he furnishes bad eggs as freah ones he will not be allowed to sell to th'e depots. If you 'have plenty of room, try to keep your fowls away from the immediate premises of the hou3e; if ta>y do net. they will become troublesome and not thrive nearly so well. If you must-keep then eonfined, try to c" ang^ their placs of confinement as frequent ly as may be possible. In raising poultry for profit, there Is not so much in the breeds as thee *s in the care find attention you give then • Plenty of feed, cthe.- things being equal will make marketable fowls of al-mcu any of the many breads that are now being offered for sale. It is never w!se to buy br.-edins stock at^the beginning of the breeding season. 'Buy it before, 83 that H v i l have become used to its new sunoundings Uefore the breeding season c:m mences.
