E n g l i s h police, and at madame for bel i e v i n g all she heard, reached her for s o m e time. H o w soft and fresh the air felt; how h i g h above her head the myriads o l stars were t w i n k l i n g in the vast v a u l t s of h e a v e n ! There wa3 a w h i s - per of c o m i n g s u m m e r in the little breeze that just lifted the curls on her brow, speaking of the primroses that were blooming d o w u by the stream, the violets in t h e shady woods. T h e roof covering the pantiles Was supported by iron pillars, a n d the s c e n e w a s the s a m e a s from her bedroom w i n d o w , which w a s just above. J3ut Mollie never tired of it, and was stand* *ng in dreamy thought, w h e n a voic3 close to her startled her. ' "Ah! mademoiselle. I have found y o u a t last. I have been looking for y o u e v e r y w h e r e ! " said Henri briskly, closing t h e glass doors. "You enjoy t h e lovely n i g h t — y e s ? " " A n y o n e would, monsieur," Mollio replied, a d d i n g mischievously: "Surely it m a k e s y o u think of P a r i s — t h e lights, musie, dancing, and all that kind of t h i n g — d o e s it n o t ? " "You are laughing at me, medemoiselle," he said, w i t h a very genuine sigh as the vision rose before him. "But tell me, would you not like to go there, s e e all t h e s e things—are you not tired of being here?" "Oh, no. W h y , when I was in Germ a n y I w a s j u s t l o n g i n g to be h o m e to watch t h e flowers come out, to ramble ia t h e w o o d s . " Henri shpugged hi a shoulders and glanced d o w n at h i s dainty boots. "Yet it i s v e r y unpleasant for you," h e argued. "My ^mother is peculiar. She h a s never recovered from the shock of her brother's sudden death. T w o years w i t h her would appal me, were I a girl. And had I the chance o.a sroing to beautiful Paris, h a v i n g a h o m e of m y own, a - h u s b a n d devotee! to me, I sbould take it, would net y o u ? " " N o ! " said Mollie quickly, suppressing a gasp of di3may. "Besides, w h a t good would ftiey be to me if I were not devoted, too. I am going in"—and s h e moved to the window. "Stay, do not be so cruel!" and hs stepped in front of her. "You k n o w I love, adore you. Only, say, 'Henri, I return your ardent affection, and will be y o u r s ! ' and m y life will be spent in m a k i n g y o u happy." "But I d o n t = - I never could!" she cried, not w a i t i n g to choose her word? i n her hurry. "Nor do you love mc, Henri, so let u s s a y n o more about i t ' "I tell y o u I do!** protested h e sullenly.- " W h y do y o u doubt m e ? Consent, and I will carry you to m y gay Paris and teach y o u t o l o v e ! " A n d h s c a m e nearer and laid s h a n d o n her arm. ' Instinctively s h e shrank back.

T H.o Pirctney Tw« Man With the Jug. Mr. Markham's poem, "The Man with"the'Hoe," lias attracted much attention, and elicited the sympathy of millions of tender hearts in favor of the farmer, and properly so, for he is-"bowed with the weight of centuries" and has "on his back the burden of the wo.rld." JBnt who thinks of offerin ^sympathy to the man with the juyj? He too labors under a burden, sometimes beyond his strength, and falls out of sight and into an nnhonored grave. The world looks upon the man with the jng as a common drunkard not worth attention, much less respect, and turns the cold shoulder to him until he-loses all self- Ma way. We can break the jag. God pronounces a woe upon the man whe puts the bottle to his neighbor's mouth and makes him drunk.. The curBe must rest on all who are guilty, whether parents, or those who compose the community, or rule the state or nation. Our government is such as to allow us to free ourselves from the curse if we will. The responsibility re^ts upon the good people of our land. The man with the jug must be relieved! Then the man with the hoe will have a lighter load to carry.— Northwestern Christian Advocate. : •**furtmTfi6-dayr a n d n T j r h t s - f - s t t f l e r - ed a ^ o n y u n t o l d f r o m a n a t t a c k of c h o l e r a m o r b u s b r o u g h t o n b y e a t i n g c u c u m b e r s , " s a y s U .

But in its capacity to* usefulness there is no e v l d e n c r t h a t it has suffered a decline. (Copyright. 1000, by Louis Klopsch.) Washington, Oct. 7.—In this s e r m o n Dr. Talmage discourses upon the i n v i - tation given to Christ to stay o v e r - night in the oriental village a n d makes some consolatory suggestions. The text 13 Luke xxjv, 29, "Abide w i t h us, for it is toward evening." T w o villagers, h a v i n g concluded t h e i r errand in Jerusalem, have started out at the city gate and arc on their way to Emniaus, t h e place of their residence. T h e y g o with a sad heart. Jesus, who had been their admiration and their joy, has been basely m a s s a - cred and entombed. As with sad face and broken heart they pass o n their way a stranger accosts them. T h e y tell him their anxieties and bittarness of soul. He in turn, talks to t h e m , mightily expounding the Scriptures. He throws over t h e m the fascination of intelligent conversation. They forget the time and notice not the objects ! they pass and before they are a w a r e [ have corao up in front of their hous3. j They praise before the entrance and attempt to persuade the stranger to tarry with them. They press upon h i m their hospitalities. Night is c o m i n g on and he may meet a prowling wild beast or be obliged to lie unsheltered from the dew. K e cannot go m u c h further now. W h y not stop there and continue their pleasant conversation? They take him by the arm and t h e y insist upon his o r r . l u g in, addressing hirn in th* words, "Abide with us, for it is toward evening." The lamps' are lighted, the table is spread, pleasant socialities are enkindled. They rejoice in the presence of the stranger guest. He asks a blessing upon the bread they eat, and he hands a piece of it to each. Suddenly, and w i t h overwhelming pow^r the thought fiashe3 upon the astounded people—it is the Lord! And a s they sit in breathless wonder, looking upon the resurrectei body of Jesus, he vanished. The inr terview ended. H e w a s gone. Oar Greatest Need* The great want of all is to have Jes u s abide with them. It is a dismal thing to be g e t t i n g old without the rejuvenating influence of religion. W h e n we stop on the down grade of life and see that it dips to the cold verge of the cold river, w e w a n t to behold s o m e one near w h o will help us acros3 i t W h e n the sight loses its power to t glance and gather up, we need the 1 faith that can illumine. W h e n We feel the failure of the car, w e need the clear tones of t h a t voice which in olden times broke up the silence of the deaf with cadence of mercy. W h e n the axmen of death h e w down wlrutrr *iV' M\ » > " . / • <*>.' A patrol of citizens has bean keeping nightly^ vigil, in a Nebraska township, o v e r "*>e home of a m a n and woman w h o recently founded a new sect. Thr; religious enthusiasts have broken up f a m i l i e s and in other ways made thems e l v e s obnoxious to the community, but sober people have determined that t h e town's good n a m e sh.Ul not be marred by the m o b law which wilder s p i r i t s threaten. Hence the nightly guard. ~"With all propriety one may • a l l it "knightly" also, for there is s o m e t h i n g as h i g h a n d fine .spirit of chivalry in the conception t h e s e Kebraskans hold of the obligat i o n s of citizenship. forests of strength and beauty around us, and we are left in solitude, we need the dove of divine mercy to s i n g in our branches. W h e n the shadows begin to fall and we feel that the day k far spent, we need most of all to s u p - plicate the heneficieut Jesus in the prayer of the villagers, "Abide wKh us, for it is toward evening.'' The request of the text is an appropriate exclamation for all those w h o are approaching the gloomy hour oi* temptation.

But there aro times w h e n a p - proaching sorrow is s o e v i d e n t t h a t w e need t o be m a k i n g especial preparations for its coming. One of your children has lately become a favorite. Tlta cry of that child strikes deeper into t h e heart t h a n the cry of all the others. You think more about it. You give it more attention n o t because it is any more of a treasure than the others, but because it is becoming frail. There is s o m e t h i n g in the cheek, in the eye and in the walk that rnake3 y o u quite sure that the l e a v e s of t h e flower are g o i n g to be scattered. Tue utmost nursing and medical attendance are Ineffectual. Tho pulse becomes feeble, the complexion lighter, the step weaker, the laugh fainter. N o more romping for that one t h r o u g h hall and parlor. Tho nursery is darkened by au approaching calamity. The heart feels with mournful anticipation that the sun is going down. N i g h t speeds on. It is toward evening. LlfeV Ka'Mnce fchuvt. Y o a had a considerable estate and felt Independent. In five m i n u t e s on one fair balance sheet you couid see just how you stood with the world. But there came complications; s o m > thing that you imagined impossible happened. The best friends you had pVoved traitor to your interests. A sudden crash of national misfortune prostrated your credit. You may feci anxious about where you are s t a n d i n g and fear that the next turn of the commercial wheel will bring you prostrate. You foresee w h a t you consider certain defalcation. You think of the anguish of telling your f r k n d s that you are not worth a dollar. You k n o w not how you will ever bring your 'children home from school. You w o n - der how you will stand the selling of your library or the m o v i n g into a plainer house. The misfortunes of life have accumulated. You wonder what makes the sky so dark. It is toward evening. Trouble is an apothecary that m i x e s a groat many drafts, b k t e r and s j u r and nauseous, and yoi! must -drink some one of them. Trouble puts up a great m a n y packs, and you must carry some o n e of them. There is no sandal s o thick and well adjusted but some thorn will strike through it.

But—there was a but—she honored her lover too' much to bring him a divided heart, years before she had believed herself in love with the cousin other mo£t intimate friend. When he • asked her to marry him she refused. Not many months later she received the announcement of his marriage to t another woman, and thanked heaven lhat she had not said yes to so fickle a suitor.- But *he sting entered her heart, and thereafter Miss Lorimer was unemotional and unromantlc. ' Tonight she was to meet for the first time after ten years the man whose memory lingered with her still, and she felt nervously anxious. She wanted to see if,the old fascination was enduring; if the old pain was -healed. The dinner was at the house of a friend and cousin. Dr. Burton had risen to eminence as a surgeon, and was in town professionally,having been s summoned for a difficult operation in the family of a millionaire. Miss Lorimer had barely.entered the drawing-room and shaken.hands with her hostess when the dinner was announced. She recognized the doctor at once. The years had marked him; there were deep lines on his brow and touches of gray in his hair, but she toiH herself Bhc would have known him anywhere. As tbe guest of the evening. Dr. Burton took the hostess in to dinner, and Miss Lorimer smiled at Mary's diplomacy when she found herself assigned to a distinguished exjurist who was deaf and a confirmed gourmand, and placed at tabic with the doctor on the other hand.

"If I had been sure of that, I would have asked you again; for, really, I was very much in earnest." Miss Lorimer smiled sarcastically. "And you carried six months afterwards !" "Yes, and I made an excellent match. I married one of the best of women. She loved me for years. She had money and position. Both families desired the marriage. I could not get what I wanted, so 1 took the next best thing, as has always been my rule in life." Miss Lorimer flushed indignantly and swallowed some ice water before she trusted her volne to reply: "Pardon me, Dr. Burton, but. I have old-fashioned ideas, and I dislike to hear you speak so of your wife. Do you think she would like it?" ' The furrows between his eyes came closer together. "Are you sufficiently old-fashioned to believe that the dead concern themselves with the affairs of BXystortous Torpede-Boat la Coarse Construction at StamfonL For nineteen months a submarine toroedo-boat has 'been in process o f construction at Ware Island, oft Stamford* Conn, groat secrecy has been maintained by the builder and comparatively little is known of the plan fl jj If/ V\1^--4^ °* the boat or what she is e j e c t e d I i/iiri i I J l l s t 0 accoBiPttsh. To a casual observer the boat looks like a great cigar painted bottle green. Its length is given as fifty feet over all. The bow is sharp, the stern rounded. The boat is fitte-d with a heavy ram made of maple and tapers from six inches to perhaps twenty-five in diameter. It is four feet eix inches long and fitted on the end' is a steel plug which tapers to a point. The shell of the boat is of yellow, pine, bound with iron hoops, covered with coatings of ship felt and pitch. Galvanized iron covers the coatings of pitch and felt. On the top of the craft is a deck conforming to the shape of the boat. There Is also a conningtower, with two torpedo loops. - The machinery is connected with the ccnV ning tower. Electricity is the motive1 power used. It is said that three men will compose the crew. The torpedo loops are made water tight by a preparation of rubber and copper. A rubber cap also screws down over the top of the tower outside and encircling the deck are "several exhaust pipes. The craft will bo propelled by water taken in through openings, one on each side, about for^r feet from the stern of the craft and well down toward the principal keel. These openings arc connected with pumps which are operated by two engines of 1,000 horse power each. From the pumps run four seveu-inchcopper pipes, two in each side of the boat. The water forced through these pipes passes out through two openings in the blunt stent of the boat and, eominp: in contact with the body oi! water in which the boat rests, forces it ahead. It is not calculated that a very great speed will be attained. To' the stern is fitted a cap of iron bolted with wood to make It tight. This cap is connected with a lever on the inside of the boat and when it la desired to •back the vessel the cap is placed partly ever the vents in the stern. This giv^s the water emerging through the opening a backward movement and causes the boat to go back. There arc two dynamos, which are operated by the two engines mentioned.' Kerosene* is used as fuel. There are fourteenthe TivTng? Mrs. Builun"7nMTwo~yeltrBr^|ru^s~tn the bottom of the boat, capa-- ble of hokling fifty-five barrels of oil. ThLs 2,700 gallons of xerosens also answers the purpose of a balance. When; a tank has been exhausted provision is made to take in sea water to refill it.. The interior of the boat is divided into, three sections. In the rear is the engine- room, in the center are the lockers and apartments for the crew and' in the bow is a store-room. The interior is braced b*r an octagonal frame of wood and iron. The craft will be. lighted throughout by electricity. So} far as can be learned there is no pro-; vision made for leaving the boat when it is under water. Few people acquire polish on the grindstone of adversity/ There Is a Class of Veopte Who are injured by the use of coffee. Recently there has been placed in all the grocery stores a new preparation called GHAIN-O, made of pure grains, that takes the place of coffee. rlhe most delicate stomach receives it without distress, and but few can tell it from coffee. It does not cost over one-fourth as much. Children may drink it with trreat benefit. 15 cents and 25 cents per package.

You were always charming, kut the bud has opened and the flower is exquisite." Miss Lorimer was accustomed to compliments, but the directness of this one brought the color to her cheek. "I am glad to have your good opinion," she said, with a little air of mockery. He had no chance to reply; the host addressed him and the conversation became general. Miss Lorimer took no part therein, and while she appeared to listen, thought hard of other things. So this was the love of her youth, this man who could speak so unfeelingly of the woman who for eight years had been his devoted wife, "one of the best of women," he had called her between mouthfuls. "'Miss Lorimer held marriage as a sacrament, not a civil contract, and his apparent heartlessness hurt her. She was still more shocked by his attitude toward herself. "His heart was true to Poll,'! she thought, and her Up curled unconsciously. Her reverie was interrupted by Dr. Burton's votee. "A surgeon's life has little room for romance. Nevertheless, I have never forgotten the dream of my youth." Mary had given the signal and the women were rising. Miss Lorimer rose hastily, dropping her handkerchief as she did so.

WALLACE, t-41 Co, Com. of Schools. Jiggers And the {Soldier*. One of the most annoying pests, of the tropical countries, particularly of the West Indies, which we have taken into Uncle Sam's family, is the jigger. It was one of the afflictions of our army before Santiago, and nearly every soldier who returned from Cuba could tell fearsome tales of the ravages of the dear little thing. True to human nature, as the cynic would say, it is the female which makes trouble for man. She bores with her head into the human skin and stays there. The large quantity of eggs which she takes in with her swell her to the size of a pea, the color being white. This results in a small ulr«r which inflames in the course of a few days. If the parasite isn't removed inflammation increases and in the course of it the jigger eliminates Itself. At the beginning Jhe pain is so slight thar usually it Is not noticed. Bui .he festering would, if not cleaned, as In the case of all neglected wounds, cause serious inflammation, gan'grtne, and even general blood poisoning. As the jigger lives in the ground, it usually seeks the feet of its victim, so that the mode of prevention and the treatment are e a ^ . Thick boots or high boots are good protection. Peru balsam is rubbed into the socks. As soon as a jigger is noticed it should be removed with the greatest care. The wound should be cleaned out and if kept clean it usually heals quickly. If. in the removing of the Jigger, tire pa*asite is lacerated, blood poisoning and severe inflammation are sure to result. German soldiers in east Africa arc> affile;ed with jiggers sometimes, through carelessness in not attending to the feet. This neglect is punished, because it prevents soldiers from marching, when care and attention would have kept their feet in good condition.

"Mnaic has won more battles than gunpowder," said a great general. Certainly aiore flags have been taken by Sousa's band the past summer than by all our armies in the field. Nearly every city in Europe has presented Sousa with a civic banner, and his socalled "American" music .has marched triumphant through camps usually half-bc8tile to the "States." May such peaceful victories attend "The Stars and Stripes Forever!" A. R. Julian was a preacher at Chadron, Neb.; three years ago. In the estimation of his flock ho was doing good work, but was unable to reach his own ideal of what a pastor should bo. Therefore he bought a newspaper, which he ran'Tn vigorous, clean style for over two years. And now, feeling confident that his editorial experience has left him better fitted for pulpiteering, he has sold his paper and will re-enter the ministry. Nothing has been heard of Princess Chimay for a long time, but probably thi3 is due to the fact that her do-> mestic troubles are now at an end, and that her husband has forgiven her for. her Indiscreet adventures with the* Hungarian gipsy Rlgo. Tho prince and princess are now in Paris, and the last that was heard of the violinist Rigo was to the effect that he was somewhere in Africa. PhotographB of the princess are no longer on sale either in Paris or Vienna, and big sums are consequently offered for the picture of her as she appeared on the Parisian variety stage. There may be much scientific and literary sympathy between nations which are politically uncongenial. There is a current medical proverb In Europe that when a thing is verified on the banks of the Spree, as well as on the banks of the Seine, that is, when Berlin and Paris agree, there must be something in it. So much has been added to our knowledge of the physical history of the race by study and experiments in France and Germany, that the proverb is worthy to be remembered when the political relations of the two countries are in question. Moreover, it is not best for the world to emphasize the fraternizings rather than the .tstrangementfi of the nations? A Swiss factory inspector reports that two years ago a company of workmen objected to an improved ventilating apparatus because it would breed rheumatism. This summer the same laborers refused to go to another building because it lacked that ventilating apparatus. Since these men seem to have learned a useful lesson, why not import them to America and distribute them about the country as church Janitors? An Ohio s minister recently had to stop his sermon while two fainting women were carried out.. An investigating stranger afterward discovered that the janitor had nailed the new memorial windows so that they could not be opened, because his occasional substitute had a bad habit of trying to air the church! fast and Dublin^ The discourse: he has sent this week describes the behavior of a young man away from home and suggests practical lessons for people of every age and class. The text is Daniel i, 5: "And the king appointed them a daily provision of the king's meat and of the wine which he drank; so nourishing them three years, that at the end thereof they might stand before the king." My text opens ihe door of a college in Babylon and Introduces you to a young student seventeen years of age, Daniel by name. Be not surprised if In the college you fiad many hilarities. Put a hundred young men together and thsy are sure to have a good time. There is no harm in that. God does not write cut the trees and the grass and the blossoms in dull prose. The old robin does not sit moping in-the nest because of the chirpings and the lively adventures of the fledgelings that have just begun "to fly. Do not come into an orchard looking for winter apples on a May morning. But Daniel of the text is far from being gay. What oppressive thoughts must have come over him as he remembered that he was a captive in a strange land! The music that came into his study window was not the song ci Zion, but the sound of flute, sackbut and'dulcimer in the worship of the heathen god. Moreover, he had no hope of ever getting back home again and meeting those who had missed him bitterly, wondering if he were still alive and finding many a luxury tasteless because they did not know but Daniel might be lacking bread. School and College Dayi. When you and I were in school or college, and the vacation approached, we were full of bright anticipation, and we could not study the last day, and we could not study the last night. The lexicon and the philosophical apparatus were transparent, so we could see right through them into the meadows. Not PO with poor Daniel. He did not know that he should ever escape frori captivity, or escaping, he did not knev/ but when he got home the loved one.-} would be dead, and be would go wandering and w«eping among the sepulchers of his fathers. Besides that UJP king tried to make him forget hi3 home and forget hi3 r juminii i«»frii 53C-H-rig. ^....aasK yirarji, ^.-^»••»••-;..-* I.'' mm* m^ifim m ffljy|j)i iffiTifi Have yon taken a. alp froja- their «up A terrible drama has just been enacted at Aigaiba, In Murcia, a mad prophetess as its central figure. She U a young peasant woman of 24, named Teresa Guillen, who took to prophecy and preaching several months ago, and after stirring up many disorderly pilgrimages was locked up as a religkms maniac. A fortnight ago she wna allowed to return home, and once more crowds began to assemble, spellbound by the impassioned ecstasy of be riMfsaftofc She was preaching before a large concourse of people, when fire gendarmes arrived to arrest her. The ignorant peasants, worked upon by tb# wild appeals of the eibyl, attacked the police with fury, and in the fight which eacoad, four gendarmes wrere mortally wounded, while sixteen Tenons la the crowd were seriously wart The wejftan'f father and brother country; for that purpose actually changed his name. The king wanted him to be a prodigy in personal appearance, so he ordered meat and wine sent from his own table to Daniel, but Daniel refuses all this and puts himself upon the humblest diet the poorest of all herbs, called pulse, and plain "/aier. His attendants cry Out against this r.nd tell him he will perish under such a diet. "No," he says, "you try us for ten days, and if at the end of that time we are not full checked and rotuct as any, it will be surprising." Ten days pass along and the students ccrne up for examination, and all deck.:-3 that none are so ruddy and robust r.s Daniel and his fellow captives:. Tho days of industrious pupilage and the years pass by, and the day of graduation has come, and Daniel zets his diploma, signed by the kint~ and reading as follows: "In ail matters of wisdc.v.i and under- _ l standing that the kinr, inquired of thorn he found then ton times better than all the magicians ar>! astrologers that were in all his real:.-:." And so Daniel took the first honor, and here the story ends, for Dsnid the student hereafter will be Dani?! minister. Perdu of Yonnjf J?."-. The young are more in p •: they are unsuspecting. The . asleep in their soul, and tiu is not suspected. The tine •hip's company makes mutiny the watchman is off his guard. When a spider meets a fly, it does not say, "Go down with me to the place where I murder insects." No; It says, "Come and take a bright morning walk with me on this suspension bridge of glittering gossamer." Oh, there is a difference between the sparkle of a »erpent'i eye and the crush of its slimy folds* There-is a difference between the bear's paw toying with a kid and the ereckjing of the bones i s the terrific ^ug.

Let mo say to those Christian parents who are doing their best in the education of their children: Take good heart; your sons this morning may be far away, from you and in a distant city, but God to whom you dedicated them, will look after them. The God of Danie' will take care of them far away in Babylon. "Train up | child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not depart from it." He may wander away for awhile and fall into sin and break your heart, but before he is done with this life, you have commended him to God, he will come back again, for I put the emphasis in the right place and on the word "old" when 1 repeat that passage and say, "Train up a child in the way ho should go, and when he is old he wiil not depart from it." May you all have the glorious satisfaction of seeing your children walk in pathB of righteousness and peace! One with them on earth, -may yen be one with them in heaven! But I learn also from this subject the beauty of Christian sobriety. The meat and^ the wine that jyere to come to Daniel's table were to come from the king's table. Well, Daniel had no right to take that food. The king was' a heathen.and like all the heathen was accustomed to ask a blessing before he partook of food, and in that blessing they always dedicated the food to the gods. So that If Daniel had taken this food he would have broken the law which forbade the taking of food dedicated to idols. He chose pulse. It wt:s a miracle that he did not dwindle away. There is nothing in pulse, such a poor herb, to make a man ruddy and healthful. Some people talk as though that were a kind of diet which would make a man swarthy and competent to do the duties of this life. That is not the lesson at all. But for a positive miracle Daniel would have dwindled away, and when God for his self denial puts upon him this benediction he puts a benediction upon all Christian sobriety. Temptation to Dissipation. But, oh, how many temptations to dissijKitlcn! With so many things to tempt the appetite, how many temptations to gluttony! With so majy sparkling beverages, how much temptation to drunkenness! Could I bring before you this moroinz the mothers and the wives and the sisixr?: who have wept at the graves of the inebriate, your soul would be overpowered with the spectacle. Could I show you the manly forms robbed of their beauty, the eyeflashings quenched in the wine cup, the ruddy cheek from which rum has wormed the ro39, your souls would recoil with horror, and you would rise up and cry, "Begone, thou dream of hell!" Charles Lamb, who made all the world laugh at his humor, and then afterward made all the world weep at his fate, who outwitted everybody and wa3 at last outwitted of his own appetites, wrote thus: "The waters have gone over me; but out of the depths, coula I be heard, I would cry out to all those who have act a foot in the perilous flood. Could the yoath to whom the flavor of the first wine is delicious a3 the opening scenes of his life, or the entering upon some newly discovered paradise—could he look into my desolation and be made to understand what a dreary thing it is when a man shall feel himself going t'own a precipice with open eyes and a passive will; to see his destruction and have no power to stop it, yet feel it all >'.bo way emanating from himself; to see all godliness empty out of hlm$ and yet not able to forget the time when it waa otherwise; to bear about the piteous spectacle of his own ruin~cou!d he see my feverish eye, feverish with . last night's drinking and feverishly looking for tonight's repetition of that f o l l y - could he but feel the body of the death out of which I cry hourly with feeble outcry to be delivered, it were enough to make him dash the sparkling beverage to the earth in all the pride of its mantling temptation." • Touching Reproof. I waa told at Dea Moines of a train oi cars going through a very stormy night over one of the western prairies. ••The young man who was present told us the story. In the night there was a little child in the sleeping car, fretful and worrying and crying hour after hour. A man on the opposite side of the car lost his patience and saiU, "Either make that child abut up oi take it to its mother!" Then another man on the opposite tide of the sleeping car—a man wkb-a-broken hoart— J until the morning* end &*> the PM think of Pike's peak.

He. la eet down amid excitements and amid associates who are «not ovcrcafeful about, their words and thoughts and actions. Morning comes. No family altar. Sab- 1)ath comes. No rural quiet. Th£ sanctuary comes, but all the faces are strange, and no one cares whether he comes to church or does not come. On his way home from the store ha sees a placard announcing a rare, and vivacious amusement. He has no greeting at the door of the boardiug house. He has no appetite for the food. No one cares whether he eats or does not eat— rather he would not eat—-it is cheaper!, After the tea ho soes into the parlor, takes up a beak, finds if dull, no sister to look ever it with him. — {Joes up stairs to his room in the third story, finds it cold and uninviting, and in despair he rushes out, caring for nothing but to get something to make him stop thinking. H.^ is caught in the first whirl of sin. He has started out on tho. darn sea where the gleam of the joy is the flashing of the pit and the laughter i3 the croaking of the gate of the- lost.—Oh, how many graves there. S£S.

Tomorrow morniug on all the thoroughfares, in every steamboat and in every rail car will be young men going forth to seek their fortunes in our great towns. O Lord God of Daniel, help them to be as faithful in Babylon as they were in Jerusalem! Forget not, O my youpg friend, In the great seaports the moral and religious principles inculcated by parental solicitude, and if today seated in tho bouse of God you feel the advantage of early Christian culture forget not those to whom you are most indebted and pray God that as old age comes upon them and the shadow of death the hope of heaven may beam through the darkness. God forbid that any of us through our misconduct should bring disgrace upon a father's name or prove recreant to the love of a mother. The dramatist made no exaggeration when he exclaimed, "How oharper than a serpent's tooth it is to have a thankless child!"

MUMMY IN CEILING* Body of a o Inquisitive Cat F*>and After Many Yt-arj. Egyptian mummies are.not so much of a rarity nowadays as they once were, in fact they may even at present be looked upon as an article of commerce, but the body of a mummified cat found at Germantown has claims to be regarded as a curiosity. The mummy is now to be seen in the window of 14 Chelten avenuef, Germantown. The preservation of *bo body is perfect, the ears and even the tail being in good condition. The house indicated is occupied by the family of J. S. Pryor. Mrs. Pryor says j that when the ceiling of the Methodist Episcopal church, on Haines street, was being torn down for repair Oct. 24, 1877, the workmen came across a hard substance embedded in the ceiling. On being dug out the substance was cast aside. Mr. Pryor, who was watching the repairs, brushed the accumulated dust and dirt from the castoff object, and the mummified body of & cat appeared/ How the quadruped got into the interior structure of the ceiling, there to die, is a mystery. The church was built in 1958. The only plausible theory so far presented la that the cat, by some means, got into the ceiling while the original plastering waa in progress and tarried until sealed in. Tho plaster on hardening became air-tight and the oat by exhausting the air in It* ad opted prison call unconsctoualy preserved its body Intact The Pryoralntend to give the curiosity some day to the Philadelphia Academy of Natural fe*anota>-Ph41adeiphia Timet, Love Is one part inatte^t and 9*fi* parta imagination. steamersT until they reach the hlgherr: temperature of the Gulf.

Zembia. It is a matter of surprise to persons I who become acquainted with icebergs for the first time to learn that they are frozen fresh water, and are not salt. They are formed of fresh water, frozen many centuries ago, during which they have been slowly traveling to the sea. * The danger of navigation by Icebergs is very great, and many a good ship lost mysteriously at jea has foundered from collision with one of them drifting across its path in the night or in a dense fog. In 1891 the steamship Miranda, carrying a party of scientist* to Greenland, came Jnt-j collision with an iceberg in the straits of Belle Isle, almost foundered, and was compelled to run to St. John's, Newfoundlander repairs. In crossing Davis Strait the Miranda again encountered numberless icebergs of all sizes and of the greatest variety ' of fantastic shapes. Sailing toward one of these, a spirited discussion arose on board as to lis size, the estimates made putting it all the way from 200 to 1,000-feet in height It' was measured by the sextant and waa found to be 800 feet high, and to cover an area of five acres. Thus it was three and one half times as nigh as the steeple of Trinity church, in New York, or nearly twice as high as the Washington monument. The specific gravity of ice is such that the proportion of it when floating is one part above the water line to eight parts below. This would make - the entire height of the iceberg meas* ured by the Miranda 7,200 feet, or more than one and a quarter niile& The berg had an area of five acres, which, put into a square, gives a quadrangle measuring 515 feet on each side. The number of cubic feet in tho mass may be arrived at my multiplying 515 feet length, by 515 feet depth, by 7,200 feet height. This results In . the enormous sum of 1,909,620,000. cubic feet. A cubic foot of ice weighs -. about sixty pounds, hence this iceberg, weighed approximately 114,577,- ' 200,000 pounds, or 57,288,600 tons. The great depth to which icebergs sink in the sea prevents closer approach to shore than five to ten miles. , The temperature of northern watera" above latitude 58 degrees is below 48 degrees Fahrenheit, and the' air is only from one to six degrees higher. Therefore the icebergs melt very alow* ly until they drift to the edge of the Gulf Stream. •Seen at tea, the distance and dimensions of icebergs are very deceptive. One seen off the'coast of Labrador by the party on the Miranda looked from , a distance like a low tableland ^nly a few feet above the surface of the waler. The scientist* rowed eight mfle* to make a closer inspection of U, and : then discovered that ita walla were fifty feat high and that the b w , % two and » half miles long.—New* YorV Herald..

It is believed that the first Americans who ever succeeded in bluffing their way into the House of Lords are Dr. Frederick L. Forker and Ralph D. Smith of Binghamton, who haa just returned from a European trip. The tourists visited the vacant chambers in Parliament Building when they first went to Europe two months ago, but at that time neither House was irf session. When they returned to London week before last and learned that both Housee were in session they determined to try to witness the working of the most dignified and august body in the world, the House of Lords. Inquiring at their hotel they learned that no tickets are Issued for admittance to that House, in fact that there are no admittances, except to friends, who are taken in by members. They learned that the American Embassy has two tickets each day for admission to the House of Commons, and that it is also much easier to get admitted to that boily through some member. They visited the Embassy, but learned that all tickets were spoken for weeks in advance. The attaches of the Embassy could suggest no way in which they could secure admittance unless they knew some member. Al- STATE TICKET. Governor—Frederick L. Goodriejf, ' Albion. % Lieut.

Frice 25 cents, quaintance list, they visited the Cunard agent who had shown them courtesies when they first landed. He could suggest nothing, until he remembered that he knew a member of the lower house. He promised to see what he could do for the tourists. That night he came to their hotel bringing them two tickets from his Member acquaintance which would admit them to the House of Commons. When they suggested their desire to visit the House of Lords to several Englishmen, the Britishers simply gaped in wonder at the men whose nerve would prompt them to think of such a thing. ' *• ' On July 19 the tourists were admitted to the gallery of the House of Commons, where they listened for some time to the weighty discussion on the advisability of permitting the Irish language to be taught in the schools of Ireland. This debate eoon became too tame for the Americans, and they left the House in quest of larger game. They started down the long hall leading to the assembly chamber of the upper house. Soon they were stopped by the uplifted hand of a guard. "S-s-t. You mustn't come here. The House of Lords is in session." The Americans were not to be stopped by such trifles. They engaged the guard in conversation, and soon they had secured his v graces. Then they explained . the situation and asked him to help them get into the House. "Don't you knew some Lord?*' in* Subscribe for Diapatch.

The Americans believed that this was good advice, as it put them one guard nearer the goal. They presented themselves to the stiff officials, who stood at the outer door of the House, and Mr. Smith said: "We. would like to see Lord Aberdeen." "The guards were inclined to argue the question, but the Americans stood their ground, emphasized their demands, and convinced the guards that they were important dignitaries. Their cards were carried in to the former Governor-General of Canada. "Does His Lordship expect you?" inquired one of the guards. "I don't know as he expects ua today,'' replied Mr. Smith. But the waiting time, my brothers, was the hardest time of all," explains Dr. Forker, in describing the incid n t While we stood debating what we should do next, the guard loudly announced: 'Lord Aberdeen.' Turning, we saw behind us a pleasant looking, but very dignified, well-dressed man of middle age, am: then we knew we had feot to see the game to the end. Putting on his best brand of bluff Mr. Smith stepped up to his Lordship and began: "Mr. Aberdeen, we ewe yen ;«n apology, but we wish to get into the House of Lords, and we were referred to you to take us in." "Mr" Aberdeen was too much surprised to speak at first, so the young attorney explained: "We have Just come from the House of Commons." "How Aid you get into the House of Commons?" inquired Lord Aberdeen. "On ^CRets from a member." "What member?" "Why it was—ah—it was-r-what member was it, Doc?" "I never thought to look at the ticket," said the physician, "Well reallj, Mr. Aberdeen, we've fornrottn tlr> member's name," explained Mr. Smith. A very wise adventure, gentlemen," suggested his Lordship with a trace of sarcasm. But hi? twinkling eyes showed that he appreciated the humor of the situation. "Come with me," and he led the way through the anterooms, opening into the assembly chamber. **•* BRITONS EYESIGHT ?w .*, countries.

"There are more people with defective eyesight in the cities of this country than you will find in Great Britain oi Ireland," said the naturalized New Yorker who served in the British army when he was a very young man and who is now an optician. "I do not judge by the number of people who wear glasses here, as in American cities glasses are worn if there is the slightest trace of nearsightedness, while few persons wear glasses for this cause in the old country unless they are so nearsighted that the wearing of glasses is a positive necessity. But, taking it on the whole, there are more people here whose eyesight begins to fail at a comparatively early age than in England, Ireland or Scotland, and fewer people who have exceptionally keen eyesight. "In the British army you will find a dozen men with exceptionally good eyesight for one youi will find in the American army, and I know a good many soldiers in this country. I once knew a private of the First Leicester regiment who has since been killed in the fighting near Ladysmith. This man had such keen eight that he could tell the time by a church clock at a distance oi several miles, yet, stranga to relate, he" cfiuToTnoT read very small print in a book. I also knew a man in one of the Lancer patrols who had wonderful eyesight. In the Transvaal long ago what appeared to his watchful chums one day as a mass of veldt heather, dim and blurred in the distance, was seen by him as an ambupcade cunningly concealed and bristling with Boer riflemen. His splendid Bight on that occasion saved him and his comrades an unpleasant surprise. "I have heard of American soMi:rs who are sharp sighted, but, as I said before, their number is much smaller in proportion than in the Brftish army. One of theee Americans i3 a man named Cullen, who can see objects clearly at a distance of twelve miles. During the Spanish-American war, Cullen, who is an artilleryman, aided his battery very materially in sighting the guns for long'ranges and always by xhis unaided vision. "I account for the standard of eyesight being better 1n the old country than here principally because of the gray skies there. There are so few sunny days in Great Britain and Ireland that the eyas are not subjected to the same strain as in this country where there U a far greater proportion of sunny days, and the mat. rays are more vertical than in more northerly THE DRAFT HORSE tome Poluts to B e Comidered in Reffard | 9 toe Oenerul Vtl ity of » H o n e . The general utility of a horse is no t the only standard by which. It shculd be" }udged, aays a writer in Stoc*r breeders' Magazine. Autboritie* have marked out its various external features, and these points are cons.derad. Foreheac)—It is essential that this feature should be highly 'developed and that it should gradually nario.sv downward from a broad and wellformted base. Face—Much depends on the formation of thds part; an arched or Roman cut,-with a tendency to slope toward the muzzle, is a desirable characterstic. Ncstrils—As these organs play a most important part in the innate economy _ot the hoiees, they should be well formed Largeness is a material desideratum, while the skin should be of fine texture, pliant and free from cuiticular bleimishes. Muzzle—The animal's sense of touch Is mostly concentrated at this point. The feature, too, Is indicative of the breeding. Eye—Biightness, prominence and good size are points necessary in this organ, the eyelid being thin. Neck—Length, depth and a nice tapering toward the head should be evident. Form is obtained materially from graceful arching of the neck. Shoulders — Without well-formed shoulders, the draft horse is not of much worth. These important point3, the eeat of the posterior muscles, should slope toward the chine, and possess both width and depth. Breas-t—Muscularity -and width should mark the formation of the bosom. Arm—Fine muscular power should be ipresent at the juncture of thi3 member with the shoulder-blade. It should stand prominently from the trunk, indicate power, and be broad and well formed. Elbow—This feature should not point Inward; if anything, It should incline in the opposite direction. . Knee—Flatness, good size and a clean appearance are the necessary elements of this joint. Cannon-bone—Sheathed in strong muscles, this IJone, from knee to pastern, should be straight and clean. Fine, silky hair on the tendons, from the kn& to the fetlock, should be present. Coarse hair is a sign of weakness. Pas>tern&—These are the source of the elaFtic spidng of <the animal when In motion. They should be long and sloping. Undue labor manifests itself here, knuckling over, ring-bone and abnormal testification. Foot—This member should be proportionately large, with good width a.t heels. It should al?o be nicelv di?h. ed, rlsng toward the front. Elari^ ity and toughness are necessary po;n*s in the hern. As rins-bone manifests itself by a bony protuberance on the coronet of the crust, care shou'ld always be exercised to see that this malformation is not present when an an'- mal Is bred). Whlthers—From a broad top these should slope to-the back, arching to the crest. Back—Shortness is a, necessarv feature here, together with muscular irndi cations. Loin—This part of the animal must be fleshy, and of much strength and bi eaddlhi. Flank—The underline should be straight all along. Depth is, too, a nce^sary feaiture. Ribs—Well-rounded ribs, springing cle^n from the backbone, to impart a cylindrical ari>2arance, together with dfepth, sfhould be the form of this part of the an'mal. Girth—Roundness and depth impart' an appearance of stability and strength. Sheath—Forward placement and good development are desirable. Quarters—These should fall well down to tlhe gaskins, and be .deep, broad, and of great muscular Sevelopanent. Gaskins—Likewise muscular and short. Hocks—Here is one of the main ipolmts. A draught horss depends on the hock joint, for his usefulness: It is a complicated and wonderful structure. While the animal here I s equal to enormous strain, the hocks arc easily liable to injury and thie affections of disease. The joint should be deafly defined, and afford evidence of greai, strength. Hips—The points here essehQaT are squareness at the top, with fulness and wld^h. » For sprains, swellings and lameness there is nothing so aoodju Chamberlain'* Pain Balm, Try it. Pot sale by ^.

There- is no dispute rei garding its manufacture, sale and use__for mecbanical, medical or .sacramental purposes. i We may also dismiss from the discussion as irrelevant and misleading the claim that "all trades are alike—they exist for one end j—the almighty dollar." It would be more correct to say that all . trades exist for the supplying of some human want for which service the dollar is given in return. But here comes in the difference between trades in the eyes of the constitution and laws of Ohio, and in the eyes of "so many people." Some trades supply a neccessary and imperative need of human nature, among which are banking and merchandising. They administer to indispensible necessities of human nature. They pertain to inalienable rights of human nature. Others, among wt}ich is the traffic in intoxicating beverages, minister to a created, artificial, depraved appetite. They are connected with no in herent rights. As a result of this difference, constitutions and laws discriminate between the two sorts of trades. The laws of Ohio diffeitiate them broadly. They look favorably upon banking and merchandising. They look unfavorably upon selling liquor as a beverage. IJow the constitution and laws of Ohio regard the traffic in intoxicating liquors may best be known by the constitutional provision on the subject which is as follows:— uNo license to traffic in intoxitssm is siate; but the Genem! AsaemWjr way, fey - law, p?oyide against evils resulting therefrom." ".r; .-^'.\. , + ;••-.'

It is not the privilege of a citizen of the State or the U. S." That is, it does not rest upon the same basis that any legitimate business of the country does. It is a business that is completely sudject to the polioe power, as likely to be criminal, and needing continually to he watched as no lawful business does. It was contended in the same case that the liquor traffic, as supplying drink rested upon the same basis as the traffic in breadstuff's —^the very contention of the National Advocate—the contention being, according to the statement of the Supreme Court, "that what a man shall drink, equally with what he shall eats is not properly matter for legislation." Kegard1 ing this the Court said:— "Thore is in this position an assumption of a fact which does not exist,—that when the liquors are taken in excess, the injuries are confined to the party offending. The injury, it is. true, first falls upon him in health, which the habit undermines, in his morals which it weakens, and in the selfabasement which it creates. But as it also leads to neglect of business, waste of property, and general demoralization, it effects those who are immediately connected with and dependent upon him." The Constitution of the U. S. and of Ohio therefore proceed upon the following well defined and established pritic pies regarding. the traffic in intoxicating liquors: (1) The liquor traffic in intoxicating beverages has no inherent right to exist It is not on the basis of bread making or banking. It does not come under the head of those things protected by the Constitutibn of the U. S. as neccessary to "life, liberty and pursuit of happiness. (2) It exists simply as a tolerated evil. It can be said to be Jawful, not in the serse that breadmaking or banking is lawful, vjz as being inherently right, but in the far different sense that there may be no prohibitor law against it It is, in the Scripture phrase "winked at becauso of the hardness of men's hearts."

We are not concerned now with the correctness or incorrectness of the theory of the law in this last respect The sole point we. are making is that the^ law goes, upon the assumption that the traffic is a toletated evil. When therefore a saloonist talks about his traffic being lawful, legitimate, respectable, and the like, he can only, mean—speaking exactly— that it is not now prohibited in the sense that theft, robbery and murder are prohibited. It is tolerated as belonging to an imperfectancLJanlty condition of society, to be corrected as far as possible by moral education and regulatory laws. It is not lawful in the sanse that banking (which is substantially the process cf exchanging human commodities) or merchandising (which is the supplying of human wants) is lawful as being part of the inherent rights of human nature. It is lawful only in the sense that society has not yet in its own opinion got up to the point of abolishing it. It is under the ban, needin regulation, and supposed to be in process of extinction.

The per cent harvested was, in the southern count i e s 74, in the central 77, and in the northern 85. This would indicate that t h e total number of acres of wheat t h a t w a s harvested was, in the southern- eouutics 037.615, j n the central counties 205,553, in the northern count i e s 74.337, and in the state 1,217,505 acres. ' ^ b e final estimated yield per acre for t h e number of acres harvested is in the 1 southern counties 7 bushels, in the central counties 0 bushels, in the northern counties 0 bushels, and in the state 8 bushels. From this we would estimate that the total yield for 1000 is 10,000,000 bushels, The total number of bushels of wheat reported marketed by fanners in September at the flouring mills is 383.526, and at the elevators 176,310, or a total ot 550.842 bushels. Of this whole amount 405,769 bushels were marketed in the southern four tiers of counties, 130,342 bushels in the central counties and 23,731 bushels in the northern counties. The total number of bushels of -wheat reported marketed in the two months, August and September, is. 1,621,142, which is 5I1,S02 bushels less than reported* marketed in the same months last year. At 20 mills and •elevators from which reports have been received, there was no wheat marketed i n September. The total amount of wheat shipped by railioads from the various Stations, as reported for Anguati is 300,242 bushels.

A large pumpkin sweet apple had so grown into an old bird's nest that it was completely enveloped/ by it, the nest forming a network all around it. In those portions of the state where potato raising is an important industry the country school teachers are having a vacation for a short time. The schools are closed so that the children may help dig potatoes before the heavy frosts come. If all the canning factories are like the one at Lawrence they must be good things all around. The one ^licre, according to the local paper, is paying out 8750 per week in wages and wilt declare a divklcnd of 20 per cent to the stockholders. The question submitted to the taxpayers of Port HuiTm to raise 825,000 additional city bonds to construct a canal from Lake Huron to Ulaek river passed by a voUr of 308 to 109. This makes $100,000 appropriated for the construction of the canal. People on Main street were shocked the other day to see the wife of a local parson, emerging from the front door of a saloon, says the Eaton Rapids Journal.

The senate from the start maintaining a strenuous opposition t o the clause "permitting the classifies-' tion of corporations for the purpose of t a x a t i o n / and substituting the "ave** age rate," The senate's "average rate" proposition Was referred back to the house, and that body and the members of the state tax commission protested against the senate amendment on the ground that under it all corporations would hereafter be included in the "average rate/' should the proposed amendment pass, and that it would be impossible for the state, at any time in the future to pass any laws, such as are in force in other states, for a franchise tax on street railways, or enable the adoption of any plan to support the state by corporate tax. After eon* sidcrable oratory the house finally xe~ fe**ed the measure, inclusive- of the senate amendment, to the honse judiciary committee and the members of that body, together with senators and the tax commissioners reviewed the matter thoroughly. The senators insisted that to pvovidc in the constitutional amendment that railroad and other corporations should be taxed at the "average rate" of taxation in the state would forever provide equitable corporate taxation; that no objection whatever could possible be made to these corporations paying the same rate of tax as alj other property. They urged that an "average rate" would stand in court if it was the same rate found by the state board of assessors. When the house met the following morning this compromise state of affairs was well understood, and that body adjourned to give the senate time in which to recall its constitutional amendment and effect the desired changes. This accomplished the house by a vote of 81 to 2 passed the constitutional amendment measure for ad valorem taxation of railroads, as it came from the senate, and it now only needs the governor's signature to insure that the people will be given an opportunity to vote upon it this fall.

The chief business of the first day's session was the reading of the governor's message by Clerk Miller. Following the reading of the message Sneaker Adams and President Kobison started the ball rolling by delivering s*.ort addresses before the house and senate where they preside. The Hngrec idea of the proper resolution to adopt was introduced in the house by Representative Wayne, of Midland, on the 10th, and it went to the committee on judiciary. In this committee the classification part was quickly knocked out, and when the committee got through with it the resolution was much like the senate idea, except that the paragraph proposing to limit the amount per capita that should be turned into the primary school fuad had been stricken out. All the business of the session having been transacted by the 13th. the house adjourned until the 15th, just as the senate had done a few moments before. This ended the special session, for the presence of only the presiding officers and chief clerks are required in bringing a session to its final end. Most of the legislators left for home on the night trains. A resolution was introduced by Senator Say re on the 11th, vailing on Gov. Pingree to send in a message asking tiie legislature to make an appropriation for repairing the north wing of the industrial school. * The committee on judiciary did not take kindly t o the idea of limiting the amount of money that should go into the primary school /nod, as was pro* posed by Collector Rich.

For a moment Henri paused irresolute, glaring at'her; then he gave way 'a step, mnd«he was through the drawing room and-half way upstairs before be could realize that he had been bafited and refused by this girl of 19.

Madame ^openly espoused her son's cause, saying it was strange Mollle oosid refuse one so handsome and deyoted, fiarvwiom other girls were sighing in rain. Slowly and steadily she tried to force her into the hated engagement, implying that it would be -a great relief.to her mind to have her married to so estimable a young man, the o*2y fake she could countenanca tor bar; and well Mollle knew what this latter remark meant—neither Mr. • Anstrnther iter any one else need expect bar consent. As for Henri, he . was worse than ever, following • he.- OTerywhere, sullen or sentimental by tnrsa. repeating his proposals whenever he had an opportunity; and the only friend aire ;had in the Jiouse was her little hs2*-s&ter, Kate. For the strange.child, ever sinve the Eaater eve when she had flown to Jiollie for protection, had attached herself to her wtih a quist persistence.that was both aautsing and touching. Every Sight she Covad her rolled up fta one corner of her bed asleep, or pmtafldi a g to be, and the fear of losiug this privilege made her try to check this . Irritability that was part of her temperament, and be mora amenable to the sorely-tried .governess. / Thla much MaUie exacted, though «he would never have had the heart to eaforee it, for the little one's nerves were is a terribly strained state, and , Mollis'* room seemed bar haven of refuge. There ahe salt sate—there, darh or light, nothing could touch her; there ahe never had horrible dreams. Bad things eooM net come sear Mollia, who was so sweet and Day by day she followed her about, at first with shy denanee, at last with unconcealed affootloa and a fuuAj sBQtherly solicitude, and ere the roses began to-bloom there wa» ^no crime so great in her eyes as to hurt Mo;iie. "What is the matter^ asked Mollle ono morning, when she found her prancing about tho 4la\vn in a fury, scolding like a, young virago the gardener, who was marking out a* tennis court "Mi;S3s says she won't have no court here," said the man helplessly, touching his cap, "and the gentleman ordered me to mark one." "It is my lawn; I won't allow it! He has no right to meddle, and I shall tell Aunt Clare so;" she stormed; "But I would teach you to play," Mollle said quietly. It was no idle threat on Kate's part, she knew. Her father's will strictly enjoined that her wishes- were to be indulged, and madame happened to be in a frightful temper that day. "Would you like it?" demanded Kate, stopping abruptly. "I think it would be nice." "You can go on, John," she said imperiously to the man. "Anything Mis3 L'Estrange desires is to be-done." It was the same in_everything. Her little face would grow haggard with anxiety when Mollie drove with madame, and she h\d no peace until she met her on the steps; while one morning, when Mollis awoke, she heard her murmuring away to herself, and a furtive peep revealed the little maid sitting up In her frilled nightgown, nursing her knees, her flaxen curls falling thickly rcund her shoulders. "She is so pretty; look at her long, curling lashes!" she was whispering In a tone of satisfaction. "But I should love her anyhow, for she is my sister; she is my own Mollie, my very own Mollie!" "My own Mollie!" Just what her mother had always called her. Mollie knew better than to move or disturb the child, but from that moment she was never "my half-sister Kate" again, but the little sister her mother had left to her, to be guarded and shielded by every means in her power, to be loved and taught all that Mollie, humble in her strength, could teach her, that together they might struggle along that narrow path which leads to eternal life. CHAPTER -VIIT. was a hot August evening, and after Mollle had heard Kate's hymns and prayere—for which purpose she always went upstair* after dinnershe took P. book and sat at the wide open window in preference t© returning to the drawing room. She often did this now, for lately things had been worse than ever, Henri more persistent. At first Kate tossed about, restless with the heat, but at length her regular breathing showed that she slept; and MoUie's bsok dropped unheeded, JUS she «5nt watching the harvest lightning flashing across the darkening sky. She was thinkExg of Reggie. Who had been obliged to leioin his regiment in Ireland months ago, without saying good-by to her, though he :had brought Joyce up to Chalfont to call for that purpose. Madame had never mentioned this. She only heard it from Joyco later, when it seemed too late to be angry, though she was very sorry. Sh"e had missed him dreadfully. Retverton was not the same place somehow when there was no chance during their walks and drives of seeing his tall, upright figure swinging along, but be used to send all sorts of messages through Joyce. He would come back,' and, meantime, she devoted herself to Kate, who daily grew happier and more childlike. Mrs, Anstrnther and Joyce did their best for her; .but madame cut her off from every one, and lately they had been away, which was a great matter cf regret, for it was something to feel their friendly presence near,- though she was free to wander In the woods and fields with Kate in their absence. The scent of a cigar, chairs being dragged along the paptilea below, and voices, made her lean further out of the window. Madame and Henri were evidently sitting there! How clearly their voices were borne upwards in the still air—little they guessed how plainly! Mollie would have moved away, feeling that ahe ought not to listen had ahe not taught a few word*; then s*e leaned forward with all her might' '. "Kate's money cannot be touched. I have gotvtU 1 can—every farthing. 1. literally do not know wh*re to turi for f a penar." And, madamtfa. voice aouadV ed harsh and weary. *Tou must marry the girl; her .fortune will last you for a time. X can do nothing more yet'" . ! .• . - "Baht Marry the girl!" He mimicked her angrily. "It is easy to say, but she will not have me. Truly, me mere, I have a respect for her more than 1 have felt for any woman before. When I look into those beautiful eyes of hers, so young, so frank, I want her as 1 baye wanted no one else. Were s h e my wife I eould trust her absolutely; ( I would even try to be a good hua~ ' band.v - "You love her!"- madamo said Jealously. "There, now,'you will upbraid me for that!" he sneered. "But she will never have me, she adores that Anstruther; they love In English fashion. Ton may give up all Hopes of bending la belle Mol-lee to our will unless you can get her away from Reverton. Come to Paris." ", "I cannot. You 'know by your uncle's will I am obliged to live at Chalfont with Kate. Oh, if I could enly get away from the place—get 'away!" • And her voice rose with strange trembling intensity that was almost a wall. "There, do not begin that!" he muttered, with callous impatience. "To continue from where we started, 1 must have money! You have large sums for both girls." "You have had most of it." she retorted. "A* also that large sum through your uncle's check." "Hush! we need qot speak of that You have been ever the best of mothers, as also the handsomest." "Ah, Henri, my son, you are my all!" she said, in a softened voice. "All I want is your love, and now you would care more for this girl. Now, listen, you must marry her, for in that way 1 can assure your fortune. True, her fortune is not so large as Kate's, but did anything happen to the child she would have all. Kate is very delicate. Any one can see that. And it would surprise no one if, after your marriage, she did not live long." There was a moment's silence. The listener above started and clenched her hands. A match was struck,, Henri was evidently lighting a fresh cigar. Then his high voice said lightly: "Ah, ma belle mere, you are clever! That Is certainly to be considered. 1 had thought of it also!" They had moved into the drawingroom, and Mollie, white with wrath and dismay, crept quietly to the bed, and stood looking at the sleeping child. Poor little girl! Her whole life she had been made the center for the evil passions of others, and now a fresh danger threatened her. "Touch Kate!" thooght Mollie, with beating heart, as ahe gently brushed the fair curls from the small thia face. Touch her little sister! Not while she, Mollie, oould protect her. And she would rouse all Reverton; she would fight them by every means in hei* power, before this nervous, -excitable child HflTi i I . Jill J , •>/>•>'J '• ' li1 TO t m * W ff*»i«>*»w*f* The Illinois State Horticultural S o eiety will make an exhibit of fruits, consisting mainly of apples, at the Pan-American Exposition. at Buffalo In 1901. The exposition will open May 1 and close Novembur 1, and it is intended to have' the fruit exhibit continuous, from the opening to the close. The apples for this show must come largely from thia season's crop, and In order to have them properly represent the fruit interests of the state the specimens must bexe?jrefully selected, wrapped, paoked and placed In cold storage until wanted, for exhibition. The Horticultural Society expects that fruit will be contributed for this purpose^ by- individual growers, horticultural societies and other y organizations. Proper credit will begiven the grower, the society, and lo- [cality Ly entering the Xruit in the iame of- the grower and society the same.as.if he were making the exhibit in person, and by placards upon the ftuit when exhibited, giving the grower's name, locality and state. All fruit growers are ask 3d to aid In the matter of securing the fruit from this state. The society will do what it can, but it depends upon you, the grower, to make the exhibit fioiu Illinois a success. The exhibit will be largely a commercial cne, that is, one for the purpose of enlarging our foreign markets for applet, and this is a subject of great interest to Illinois fruit growers. i:iinbis siand3 in the front in the fruit exhibit at Paris this year, but in order to retain her prestige, must continue her work in the line cf exhibits of fruit and the opportunity presented at Buffalo should not be neglected. Shall the state be properly represented? This is for you to decide. You must do what you can. Will you contribute one, two, five or more barrels of carefully selected fruit, and ship it to cold storage in pioper season? Write the secretary, whose address you will find below, how much you will contribute and what varieties, and he will see that you have paper for wrapping the fruit and shipping tags furnished you. A^e your interested enough in, Illinois horticulture to do this? The commission will pay the freight, storage and all other charges and place the .fruit on the tables, without any charge to you. We want one hundred barrels of apples from this state and the amount will be small to each one, if each does his part. It will save expense to the society if you .will pick, wrap and pack the fruit, as per the directions which will be furnished you later, but If you find this will be Impossible, write the secretary, and some one will be sent to assist in the work. Not less than ont peck of any one variety should be furnished; one-half barrel or a full barrel of each variety preferred. It is not intended to collect a large number of varieties, but those most generally grown for market, therefore a full barrel cf one variety will be acceptable and Is de&Tred.—L. R. Bryant. Secretary, Princeton, Illinois. should suffer further. Then she remembered that she herself was Kate's great safeguard, so long as she did not marry Henri. And she would die rather; for the child was madame's largest .source of inccrme, and would be cared for accordingly. But as she sat in the garden the following afternoon she felt sick at heart. How could these people be so wicked. Lying back in an American chair, looking up into the great trees, she reflected ;Badly upon the terrible abuse of money. People would do anything for i t - scheme, iie, and cheat; and what did it come to in the end? for "They brought nothing into the woria\ neither can they carry anything out." She and Kate were very fond of*this part of Che garden. They spent all the hot afternoons there, and madam3 and Henri were out today, so it was • veryTjearefnl. Suddenly a bird, in the bushes sang a few notes, then a very clear whistle followed; but i t came from no bird's throat—it was a tune she knew well, but never expected to hear in the garden at Chalfont, and she sat up eagerly and looked round. There was Reggie, who ought to have been a .hundred miles away, standing a few yards off, clad in riding clothes, whip in hand, and a smile on his good-looking young face. "Well, what are you doing here?" she cried in amazement, with a decided access of color. "Why, your people are away!" "Oh, yes-; but I have just run down about the horses, you see," returned he glibly, coming quite close. "No; bother the horses. That is not it at all. So you remember the old tune, \ Mollier "It would be funny if I did not. You never whistle anything else." "But I never sang the words for you, did I? They go like this"—and la a clear mellow voice, Mr, Anstrnther eofUy trolled them out: Ex-Congressm&n A T. Qoodvyu. Ex-Congressman A. T. Qoodwyn.frOto Alabama, syrites the following letter!

(To be continued,* The u o n t f Hera.— — — Albert Pogier: One of the foremost considerations in beef production is that we, as stock raisers, snould grow our own stock. This 1 regard as a very important matter. The large number of failures in the cattle business points to the fact that we, as farmers, are not sufficiently well acquainted with the effects of acclimation and domestication of cattle brought from any great distance to the south or west. In other words, we are unfamiliar with the amount of shrinkage likely to occur during the. period of adjustment to climatic and other conditions. Nor do we understand the laws or growtn or these foreigners, and compare them toa favorably with well-bred animals at home. I could enumerate many stockmen and farmers who have nearly bankrupted themselves, largely on account of their unfamiliarity with the growth sod-development of these western breeds. Again, quite a number oi •farmers came to the conclusion some years ago that it did not pay to keep a cow herd; that the amount of feed and care they required rendered them unprofitable; that steers which they wanted could be bought cheaper than raised. These very same farmers are now struggling to develop their eow herds, and a good herd of them is envied almost above anything else on th* farm. This is another reason why it pays to keep right on raising one's own cattle. Nearly every farmer who has done so is1 less subjected to financial embarrassment because he is more able to make accurate calculations of his iacome. Then, again, some stock* raisers think there is always money to be made in full-feeding, when it very frequently happens that the steers full-fed would have netted the owner more clear cash if they had been sold off of grass. It is now apparently most profitable here to sell steers between two and three yearn old, whether fullfed or told off grass. Usually, four or Oared of Oatexrli ef Lafi* . > ^-1¾^ / ' ' • - • : ;i . .

Food Commissioner Grosvenor i n his monthly bulletin, issued on the 19th, discusses the subject of prosecutions for selling adulterated milk, a subject which has kept him pretty busy for several weeks. During the warm months of July and August in 1809, the commissioner says, over 8,500 samples of milk in cities and villages having no eity inspection of milk were examiued without the discovery of a single sample of milk in which • preservatives had been used. This year, however, a traveling salesman, represent* ing a house engaged in putting out a so-called milk preservative, came into the state. Inspectors were put upon his track. The presence of formaldehyde ana other milk preservatives deleterious to public health were discovered and a number of prosecutions resulted in conviction and the payment' of fines. As to the inspection in Detroit, it is stated that over 73 per cent, of the samples collected were found to contain formaldehyde. The commissioner complains that the Detroit board of health has allowed the dealers who were prosecuted access to their records for the purpose of proving their innocence.

During the early days of Youtsey's trial the prisoner exhibited signs of breaking down. While Arthur Goebel, brother of the dead man, was on the stand testifying, Youtsey rose to the prisoner's docket and denounced the witness in wild exclamations, while Youtsey's wife screamed that Goebel had sworn away the life of her husband.

In Paris, Russia is trj'ing to induce the Rothschilds to lend her ¢100,000,000. In New York one of the great international financial houses is trying to form a syndicate to lend Russia 830,000,000.

The announcement that he is going there will probably prove a disagreeable surprise to the French ministry, who had tried to persuade him to land elsewhere. Kruger is such a hero in France that M. Delcasse, the minister for foreign affairs, did not wish to add (o the anti- English demonstration that is expected to find expression in the chambers which is to convene Nov. ft, by having Kruger in the country.

Sun Yat Sen, according to- reports from Can tan, has- taken the t o w n of Kiu Shan, on East river, and is now investing the prefectoral city of Hui Chou. A force of imperial troops from Canton w as defeated by the reformers, 200 being killed. Detailed reports to the war office- of the occupation of Mukden, Manchuria,- show that the Russians met with strong opposition at Schacho, where the Chin*- ese with 30 battalions, 20 field guns, and Krupps and Maxims occupied the railway embankment and heights. The Russians lost 50 killed and wounded, but captured several guns. I t i s officially understood, t h a t if an international conference at The Hague regarding the settlement of the'Chinese indemnity question is finally decided on, it will not discuss with China the amount of compensation she must pay, but will confine its labors to fixing and distributing the proportion of the indemnity which shall go to the several countries interested. The Russian government permits it to become known that its attitude in China will be increasing independence of the concert of the powers. Russia, it is^ explained,, is disposed to attach less value t o joint action since ber in-' terests hare been fully secured by the successful campaign in Manchuria. Moreover. Russia is not willing to "follow the irreconeeivable policy of some of the p o w e r s ^ For the- Srs-t time in three days Minister Conger was heard from by the state department at Washington on the 19th. l i e communicated by cable the substance of propositions advanced by Prince Chiag and Li Hung Chang as a basis- for peace negotiations. It is believed that the last Chinese advance is in the nature of counter proposals to those of the French note on the theory that the proposed 'punishments are sufficient to meet the demands from.the powers in that respect. There is reason t o believe that the government will take favorable action on the latest propositiott of the French government.

It now appears that this ¢270,000 was only the value of gold coins and gold bars, taken from the Chinese treasury at Tien T^in and apparently it was only the money taken from the treasury which concerned Earl Li as a government official. Things of value were aiso obtained from other sources and it i s . now reported that the total value of the loot will reach a figure about ¢100,000 in excess of the amount originally reported. The gold coin and gold barm taken from the treasury were melted by order of Gen.. Chaffee.

"Look here, Mollie, will you—wont you? I love you awfully. I have Jus*, run over on the chance of seeing you, because I could not stay away any longer. And I hate to think of you here, with these people. Won't you look ot me? Do!" A most persuasive voice was Reggie's; but Maine's eyes were fixed on the point of her shoe, and she put her hands behind her when he attempted to take them. "Give me time to think." she -whispered in a subdued tone. "I can hardly believe that you are iGre. How did you find, me?" "Saw the Dubois in town, but they did. not see roe. Rode straight on and met the little kiddie, who brought me here. Told her that I wanted to speak to yora Tery particularly alone; and she flew -off and promised to keep watch lor the .return ol the enemy," said Reggae briefly. "Dear little Kittle!" "Won't you gay, 'Dear Reggie,' too, Mollie.?" he .suggested, eyeing her wistfully. "I have come all the way from Ireland to ask you." Then, as she flashed a quick, half*smiling glance at him, he added. " 'She who hesitates is lost;' 'Silence gives consent/ How usefully these ancient copybook say- >ing come in in one's old ~age, don't they." "They certainly seem to," allowed Mollie hesitatingly. And as there seemed no opposition offered to the arm Reggie had stolen round her, it stayed there, while, two not being able to sit with any comfort in an American cane chair, they repaired to the rustic seat, and were as happy and forgetful of -the world as mortal lovers could be for the next half hour, as they sat in the sunshine, in the springtime of youth, hope, and love. "Ofc, Reggie—Madam Dubois!" exclaimed the girl at length. "She will never, never consent; she means me to marry Henri." "Then we will pay Henri's country the compliment of taking French leave, my dear child," he returned gaily. But she shook her head. "I shall be of age in 18 months," she said shyly. "Eighteen centuries! Why, I hate to leave you here now!" "And I could not leave my poor little Kittie," she exclaimed, raising her eyes to his deprecatingly. "By then I hope she will be better, stronger. Oh, Reggie, couldn't you bargain with them -to give me Kittle? It would be—se k cruel to leave her; you cannot think how loving, how true to me the little pet is!" And she poured into his ear all that she had overheard that hot evening at the window. Reggie's face grew very pale as he liatened, and he gave a low whistle of dismay; but whatever he thought he was too wise to make his sweetheart more uncomfortable than she already was. But she had to promise that on no account would she even listen to Henri, against whom Reggie's sentiments were far from peaceful, and that if matters became worse " she weuhi take refuge at the White house, whither bis mother returned in a week's time. And then'Kate came running back to announce her aunt's retorn. "Oh, Reggie:!"' ejaculated Mollie, rising, and turning very pink. -"Sit down, child," he said calmly, dragging her back to his side, and taking Kate on ni« knee. ~Let them come.** Kate pushed back her -eurls and regarded him with a frown. She was very fond of Reggie, but— He understood the look, read the dawning jealousy of any one coming between Mollie and herself, in tnose sharp hazel eyes, which bad already discoverer the truth; and a s this tall, merry young officer's heart was as tender as a girl's towards those he cared for, he hastened to dissipate i t "You are going to be my sister, kidling," he said gently. ''I know," she answered, with trembling lips. "You will take her away/- "But she tellB me she cannot be happy without you, so we shall have to manage for you to come, too," he continued. "Now if you think that will be jolly, and we shall be the best brother and sister'going, never jealous of each other, signify the same in the usual manner by a kiss." And he was more touched than he liked to show when the little girl threw her arms round his neck in a transport of relief, happily unconscious of the obstacles that might come in their way. It was this group that madame, followed by her son, came in sight of, and great was her wrath. Nor was it in any way mollified when Mr. Anstruther advanced politely, and, after the usual greetings, informed her that Miss L'Estrange had promised to be his wife, and he trusted that he should have her consent; he was sure of that of the trustees, who were old friends of his father's. Madame was very suave at first, though Mollie knew the effort it must have cost her. She understood the firmiy-ehut mouth, the half-opened eyes; but, suave or not, she managed to convey plainly her decision. She not only could not sanction the engagement, but Miss L'Estrange must be considered quite free. "I don't wish to be free," said Mollie bodly, over his shoulder. "I have given Mr. Anstruther my word, and will not break it." "My sweet child, you are young, you do not know your own mind. Mr. Anstruther has taken advantage of finding you alone in my absence—" "I naturally wished to find Miss L'Estrange alone," answered Reggie, haughtily. "Oh, yes!" sneered* Heri, who had been standing biting his nails gloomily, in direful dismay. "It is well to pay court to the heiress, but she has protection. I—" He paused uneasily, yet Reggie had only stooped to pick up the riding whip which he had dropped, and then looked at him. But it was enoughhe said no more, while madame, going a shade paler as she watched the two younr men, uastened to ciose the interview. When Reggie left things were only what he had expected. Madame absolutely refused her consent, and declined to see him at Chalfont again, so far losing her temper as to utter innuendoes and insults, which she could say with impunity, as a woman, but which would certainly have brought Reggie's whip across the shoulders of her adored son. Reggie, for his part, courteously repeated that the engagement was a fact, and would be known all over Reverton; he was sorry for her decision, but it would alter nothing, only cause a Utile delay. Then, after a few words with Mollie, he reluctantly tore himself away, and she heard the gate clang behind him and watched him down the road until she was blinded by.her. tears. CHAPTER IX. is- so_bad again.!" "Is it, my pet? What can I do foi you?" said a sleepy voice, as Mollie roused herself from the slumber into which she had fallen by the side of the bed. "Kittie, it is striking 12 by the hall clock; 1 had no idea it was so late! I will go down to the drawing room and get the cloves; we left them there, and they may ease the pain a little." Kate sat up in bed, looking as miserable as a child with teeth ache can -look, and Mollie slipped off for the cloves, closing the door softly behind her. It was Easter eve once more; not balmy and soft like last time, but cola and frosty, witn a cruel east wind howling round the house, like the night two years ago when Leonard Barlowe had so mysteriously met his death. The "months that nad~~passed had been full of trouble and anxiety to Mollie L'Estrange, and she looked paler and thinner; but the gray ey«s were as fearless and sweeter than ever, lor the trials had been bravely borne, and if she could not#cuite love her enemies, she had at least endeavored to follow that splendid precept and return good for evil., Henri had been away for some weeks now; at first much to her relief, but latterly she had almost wished him back, for his mother's sake. Ever since his departure she had seemed consumed with restlessness, growing daily more morose and gloomy, and breaking into fits of passion for the merest trifle, while she watched Mollie with suspicious eyes, never allowing her to see the Ansjruthers, through whom alone she coutik<hear from Reggie, for both knew that the ordinary post would not be safe. Stealing quietiy down the dark 3talrs, Mollie gained the drawlngroom, and, possessing herself of the bottle of cloves, was returning, when as she got to the door she sa* a faint light at the top of the stairs. Whe was abroad in the house this nirrht of ell ethers, when no servant would stir alone, when they vowed that the ghost of Mr. Barlowe walked m . his haunts and a-light had been seen In his study? Drawing back against the heavy plush curtains in the hall, she watched with beating heart as it came glimmering nearer, not exactly frightened, hot with a curious awe and dread, a feeling that something was going to happen. A moment later, and madame— a lamp in her hand, a strange, dased glitter in her great black eyes—swept noiselessly past her and went straight to the study. The girl's first thought was to steal up stairs again, her next to creep across the dark hall after madame, and look in at the half-open door, and so, unthinkingly, she witnessed a sight that froze the blood in her veins an<* that she never forgot. For had she followed her first impulse and gone upstairs, neither she nor Kate would have been alive when daylight dawned that Easter day. On such slight things as this do great events hang! Madame put the lamp qn a table close by, and then stole with cat-like step to the back of the chair before the writing table, where the detectives said that Mr. Barlowe must have been sitting asleep at the time of the attack. Suddenly she raised her armB, holding them as if she had some heavy weapon in them, and went through the motion twice of bringing it down with terrific force on the back of some one's he?.d. s It was awful to see her face as she stood, there,'wild, fierce, watchful, hei features working convulsively as she eyed the empty chair as if it were occupied, her dark hair streaming down the light dressing gown she wore, hei breath coming in heavy gasps. After a minute she began muttering to herself, and leaned over as if to examine what was in the chair; then she went to the table and turned over the papers in a strange, troubled manner, her eye ever returning to that empty chair. "It is only what you deserve—what you deserve!" she muttered in a harsh, strained voice, addressing the chair. "You are a hard, bad man. I begged to you for mercy for my child—my son, my beloved—and you only laughed. What if he did forge your name? It was not for much. You are rolling in wealth—your wretched wife's money —and we are poor, and Henri is young and extravagant. But you shall not punish him. I helped you in the past, but that goes for nothing with such as you. You have only yourself to blamt that I have taken the law into my own hands. I would die a thousand times' rather than that you should expose my boy. Now you cannot say a word, and .1 take the proofs of his guilt and burn them!" , She went through the motions— phantomwise, yet strangely real—oi taking papers and thrusting them into the grate, apparently holding them down with the weapon she thought she held, doing it all in a strange, dull calm, which her twitching face belied. For some minutes she crouched over the empty grate moaning and wringing her hand£;then, when she evidently thought the papers and weapons destroyed, she rose, appeared to drag what was on the chair to the .window —which she threw wide open—and, before Mollie could move, she came swiftly out of the room, and, lamp in hand, went towards the" kitchen. To describe the feelings of the horror- stricken girl watching her would be impossible. As one act after another of this terrible drama was played out before her she felt powerless to move, almost to think. All her senses were bound up in the effort to keen her irembling knees from giving way under her, for well she knew that to make the least sound might cost her her /life!—No need to ask again who killed Leonard Barhrwe. She had been how it was done; she had seen everything— knew it was by his own sister's hand that the blow was struck. Yet frightened as she was Mollle'a courage did not desert her. She determined to see what took this wretched woman, whom she felt persuaded was mad, to the kitchen; so, with chattering teeth, she gathered her skirts together, and crept silently through the dark passages after her. The lamplight guided her to the butler's pantry, and there stood madame. holding her hands under a tap which she had not turned on, and muttering incessantly to herself. As she wrung the Imaginary, water off them and rubbed them on her skirt. It occurred to Mollie, with a cold chill of fear, that she was action by action following out just what she must have done that terrible night—that it was she whom the servants took for a ghost, who had frightened Kate by brushing past her in the dark. Suddenly madame's glance fell upon some knives lying on a table, and a gleam like fire flashed into her eyes, a gleam that had neither reason nor sanity in it, only cunning and fierce exultation. "Why not kill them both?" she muttered, standing still with a meditative look. "They are no use to Henri; the girl will not marry him; the child had better follow her father. Yes, yes: that will be best!" . (T<> be continued.) TRAMSVAAUWAR iTftM*. It is said orders for r,500,000 worth o$ railroad material will be placed in America by Maj, CMrourd, the young Canadian, who acts as director of railroads in the Transvaal, under Roberts. A dispatch fvom Lord Roberts, under date of Pretoria, Oct. Id, reports n number of minor affairs, but says that the only incident of importance was the surrender of Theunis Botha, brother of Commandant-General Botha, at Volksrust, Oct. 13. A dispatch from Lorenzo Marquez, dated the 15, says that the American bark, Fred P. Litchfield, went ashore there from her moorings during a gale on the 14th. In consequence of a suspicion that she was carrying Mr. Kruger's gold to the amount of £1,500,000, she was searched. A dispatch from Pretoria, under date of the 18th, says that the Boers are daily tearing up portions of the railroad and cutting telegraph and telephone wires Their attacks are intolerable. The repairing linemen cannot leave the garrisoned points without considerable escorts. The only remedy seems to be to corral all the burghere and deport them, as apparently none can be trusted. 9 Japan's Cabinet hm Resigned. The resignation of the Japanese cabinet and the probable coming into power of Marquis Ito is the theme of the hour in that country. The change came as a surprise, although it was deemed inevitable in the not distant future. It was doubtless unwelcome to Marquis Ito himself, who has by no means yet got his new party in proper trim for harmonious and successful work. Although the latter is well organized, it is made up of many incongruous and warring elements, and early trouble is predicted for it, especially in the view of distribution of officers before it is brought under any sort of discipline. Marquis Ito is the only man to whom the country can turn in this emergency, as has been the case for many years past, whenever an important crisis has arisin. A significant feature of the present case is to be found in the fact that the marquis is not credited with strong pro-Russian tendencies. E i - M l n t t t e r D e c a p i t a t e d . Confirmation was received at Wash ington on the 16th of the execution on July 20 of Chang Yen Hoon, the former Chinese minister to the United States. Chang was a loyal adherent of the emperor and a warm supporter of the Matter's reform movements. When the empress dowager supplanted the emperor two years ago he was banished to Nebradoo, but through the intervention of the American and British ministers his punishment was commuted to banishment in the distant province of Kashgaria. It now appears that the empress dowager, taking advantage of the late reign of terror at Pekin, and knowing Changs influence with the emperor, ordered his execution by decapitation. 13 Americans Captured by Filipino*. A dispatch from Manila, dated Oct. 10, says: A detachment of 20 men of the 24th regiment, while engaged in impairing telegraph wires, Oct. 10, at a point near San Jose, Nuevo Ecija •vmce^Luzjoiij were set on by 200 rebels and overpowered and scattered. Seven of the Americans reached San Jose, but it is probable that the remainder were captured. 4 3 Lives Lost in a Storm. The St. Pierre schooner Fionadrifted ashore in Fortune Bay, N. F., during a leceot gale, and her entire crew of 10 men were drov-vned. The schooner is a total loss. The schooners Amelia, Rosebud and Angler, with crews aggregating 18 :neo, were also lost. The schooner Huntress is ashore on the Labrador coast. Five of her crew were drowned. John Dcmlio, treasurer of the Galveston relief fund, gave out a statement on the 18th showing that the total contributions to date are $l,09j,- 202. T H E M A R K E T S . L I V E STOCK.

There was not a horse of any recently Imported breed.

The fun of the show was t o see the riders, bareheaded aad with overalls above their knees. 50 *sae>r the wire, time about four minutes. No carts or sulkies were in evidence then. I must not forget the silver hoofs (sheep). They were generally *.he tag ends of large flocks of small Merinos from Washington county, Pennsylvania, that were shipped here aad replaced at home by Vermont shaep of large breed. Many of these Merino sheep brought distress to their owners as they were narrow chesteJ weaklings. We had no trouble with wolves as dead sheep were plentiful. The sheep at our county fair this year were fine specimens of the mutton type, ay good as could be found anywhere, and their owners know how to make the most of them. The swine pens this year were full of gilt-edged hogs of all breeds and Included some prize winners from t h e state fair. In the cattle exhibit* Shorthorns, Galloways, Polled Angmv Herefords and Red Polls wera represented. More than one hundred horseswere on exhibition, in fact there are more horses sold in this countv than. in any other in the state.,. A regular auction sale once a month for ninemonths is held in Fairfield at whichas large sums as $40,000 have been paid. Buyers come from New York, Boston, Philadelphia, Pittsburg a a d the pineries.—John Ross. Outlook f o r C*ttle For many years to eome the prii of cattle must be good, especially tor the better class of meat The recent depression had the effect of cheeklag. the breeding of cattle of all kinds and the number of cattle in the country fell steadily for a number of years. The result of that curtailment of the cattle supply is that the base on which to produce the vast numbers now annaally required is restricted. There is /pother factor that enters very largely into the solution of the problem and that is that the people are demandinr more than ever a finer quality of beet There was probable never a time when the difference between the poorest and best meats in the markets was so great as it is today. So it comes about that in the city of Chicago one cam pat [iorterhouse steak at 25 cents a p o u d or at 12 cents a pound, and at all prices between the- two The qoafity of the steaks varies, of course, according to the prices, except when poor meat is dishonestly palmed off on the customer for high-quality meat The difference in prices indicates that the high-quality meats are in great demand. These high-quality meats from pure-bred and grade stock. increasing prices for the high-quality meats indicate that the money in the future for cattle raisers is in well-bred animals. Most assuredly that man that is doing his best to grade up his herd of cattle is paving the way for good money returns in the future. The experience of the past few years, when men rushed out of the business of breeding good cattle because there was a temporary fall in the values, should teach men today that the course of wisdom lies in steadily improving' the. quality of their cattle. *Detroit-Hay, No. I Timothy, $12 00 per ton.

J ^ If t h e Government of t h e Un'.tcJ States be considered merely t s a bvs - ness firm, its stockholders just n o w are pretty well to do. Their wea th is very large, considering t h e number there are of them. T h e expenses of carrying on trade under Uie-.£-Ur* and Stripes seems small when devided, and their debts are trifling indeed. N o t many years a g o it was said that Uncle Sam had land e n o u g h to give every o n e a farm. I n theory this is true to-day. If all Territories in the United States, not even including Alaska and our so-called n e w possessions, were to be divided, there would be a farm of thirty o n e acres for each one. Every m a n , w o m a n and child in t h e country would o w n this much real estate. Now, since t h e average American family consists of five people, thera would be 155 acres to t h e family. In m a k i n g these calculations t h e population is estimated at 70,000,000. T h e area of t h e United S t a t e s . i s 3,600,000 square miles. N o t all of this land is good enough t o "farm it" o n . but m o s t of it can be made good enough by Yankee i n - genuity. The value of all the real estate in America is $39,544,333,000. These figures fail to give any definite idea. T h e y are too big. L e t us suproaa, howevir., that pure socialism prevailed and that this e:;orrtous w e a l t h w a s equally divided. T h e share of every individual would be $564.50. The share of every average family" would be $2,824.50. Afcl this does n o t Include personal property, which would greatly increase t h e sum. These figures are by far t h e h i g h e s t t o h e found i n a n y country in t h e , w o r l d . In Great Britain, for instance, each m a n is a land owner o w n i n g t o the e x t e n t of about $190. British house property would give a share of b u t about $300 to every m a n . Practically, in Great Britain there are f e w small land-owners, or none. A laboring m a n w h o o w n s h i s cottage i s a rarity; o n e w h o o w n s the land o n w h i c h it stands "almost a n impossibility. The taxes which t h e individual pays seem trifling. All the taxes last year were $471,365,140. ' The share of each individual w a s but $6.73. Britain's taxee during the same period amounted t o £ 2 10s. each, or nearly t w i c e that of America. It must also be considered that our rate w a s unusually h i g h owing to t h e expenses of the. war. A good deal of complaint i s heard of the extravagance of<the Government, but t h e share of t h e individual i s email. The total expenses of the Government last year If divided would have placed a burden of $6.68 on t h e individual. This i3 a share of the s u m of $487,803,000. The individual contributions to t h e various departments also sound curio u s i n v i e w - o f t h e .great things which have been accomplished. We are all proud of our navy, which during th(^ past year h a s been larger and more expensive than ever before. B u t each individual w a s only required to contribute just sixty cents to maintain this department and our great fleets of warships. The total expense, to be sure, w a s $18,000,0OT). T h e maintenance cf the army last year w a s ono j of the most expensive it-, ms t h e Gov- j e m i n e n t has ever called upon to meet. It cost us just $SO,000.000. The war with the Philippines and the maintenance of an army in Cuba and P o r : ^ Rico, besides the regular expense of the department, could be met, however, if each individual contributed $1.14. The expense of running the entire Government cost each of us e x - actly $1.92. The United States, a s every on& knows, is t h e richest nation in th3 world. Our bonded debt is $1,0^2,000.- 000. Each of us is in debt on this score just $14.74. Looked at in this way our national debt, large, as it seems, is a trifling thing. T h e real ^state holdings cf the individual, according to this distribution, are alone worth more than forty times his i n - debtedness. .It is no wonder that the world considers loaning money 10 America a good risk. Our country is t h e land of railroads. A s every o n e knows w e have more railroads by far than a n y other country in the world. The m i l e a g e of t h e United States i s 1S0.000. T h e share of the individual is ]'3'i feet of rail. Still another w a y to state our great wealth is to calculate the amount of gold and' silver which woul d come to us if all were equally divided. 'Each of' us would have $70 in silver bullion a s his share and $18.50 in solid gold. possible w a s shown h i m on accourt <K his health, but, of course, he could n o t be grauted permission, as he requeste d / t o g o to the t o p of t h e rock for the sake of the purer air, a s there i s a regulation that "foreigners" are o n no account to be permitted to w a l k about t h e top of t h e rock."

Bead his words and see if they are too severe: Certain particular forms of business which are n o i merely capable of abuse, but postively evil in themselves, have secured such a standing before the law, and such a patronage from all classes of citizens, as makes - them more to be dreaded than pestillence or earthquake. Cheif of these is the liquor traffic. I t is wholly and incurably bad. Society could better afford to license at every street corner a den of ! cobras than to give its sanction to the indiscriminate sale of strong I drink. The open saloon is a J breathing hole of hell. I t thrusts i temptation into tue very faces of I the inexperienced and the unwary • and operates day and night as a i manufactory of drunkards. The gambling hell and the brothel are its almost invariable accompanianments. Very often also it is a centre of political power, part of that machine which sometimes under the name of one party and sometimes under the name of another rills the offices and conj trpls the revenues of our municipalities. Always organized, always at work, without scruple, 1 without honor, it counts for more in the election of mayors and aldermen than the intelligence, decency and piety of the the larger cities combine^. Set np by the extra-judicial defiance of an express statute- inr^ouT-Tegular and volunteer armies, it is siaying more of our young men than the bullets of their enemies, and ruining the characters and blasting the hopes of thousands besides. We must put it down, or it will put us down. The abolition of this national evil cannot be effected by fanatical means. >Vhat is needed in opposing it is perfect sanity combined with undying determination. Let not those of us who are enlisted, for war fall into the inexcusable folly of denouncing and vilifying one another. Whoever is willing to help in any way ought to be welcomed as an ally, and not treated as an enemy in case he cannot pronounce our shibboleths. We are all aiming at the same end. I n some sections it may best be accomplished by one policy, and in others by another. I,m warranted in saying that but for the horde of ignorant and purchasable voters who are sometimes coiraled into droves of live hundred and marched to the polls like so many cattle, the groggeriea could be closed in every Southern State tomorrow. Even as it is by far the larger part of our territory is already under some form of prohibition, and the battle goes bravely on. Of course this will not suit those milk-and-water, good-temper ance-man-as-y on creatures, who are always harping on the intemperate language of temperance advocates. Nor will it accord with the views of the poor-man's-club saloon allies. And there is wise counsel, too, for the temperance Ishmaelites whose hand is against every many who does not agree with their views. Still, here are words of truth and soberness that, coming from one of the must distinguished clergyman and editors of the largest religious body of the Southern States, are well worthy of acceptance.

The man who reflects deeply will soon be a light instead of a reflector. Common sense in an uncommon degree is what passes in the world for wisdom. Draw* a Uaeful Leaaori from the Reacue of JoMh. from the Morderoua Athaliah— The Saving of Soul*—l'erpetultr of the Bible. The pleasures of dissipation are like gaudy colors—they attract for a moment, but afterwards they oppose the senses. Happiness is like a metecr. I t blazes and goes out and all is blacker than before it came. People are often deceived as to their true interests. The wedding present of the emperor and empress of Russia to the new queen of Servla is a necklace and tiara of diamonds and emeralds valued at £20,000. A New Jersey farmer read all the campaign literature, sent to him by the opposing organizations and then committed suicide. The warning contained in this case fairly bulges out. A Universalist minister in Midclletowii, N. Y., in order to be allov.ed to lay the cornerstone of his people's new house of worship, will have to join the Mason's union. Rev. Mr. Emery is no mason, -but be-wilf- pay $15 for the privilege of holding a trowel in his hasd for fifteen minutes or lees. Otherwise, there might follow a strike, or boycott. It has frequently been stated that Mrs. Louis Botha, the wife of the Boer general, is a descendant of Robert Emmet, the Irish patriot. This is a mistake. She is a descendant of Emmet's elder brother, Thomas Addis Emmet, who was one of the United Irish Directory in 17S9, and was punished by the government by confinement in Fort George for three years. Berlin lest year for the first time registered over 1,000,000 strangers who had visited the city. Vienna, which formerly had more visitors than Ber- Hn, counted tretr a few^over—500,000 in 1899, and was surpassed by Munich with 600.000. Dresden had over half a million visitors; Hamburg. Leipzig and Zurica each about 400,000, and Stuttgart, Basel and Dusseldorf each over a quarter of a million. The police of Cincinnati state that there are two lovers in that city who have been engaged to be married for the last fifteen years. This postponement of the fateful plunge, however, is not due to the prospective bridegroom being a laggard in love; still Jess is it due to the bride proving unduly coy. The simple explanation is that no time has occurred during the above period when they were both out of prison at the same time. The reputation of the mosquito, which was never of the best, is being torn to shreds by the scientists these days. The insect has been proved to be one, if not the sole, means of spreading malaria; and now it has been discovered that elephantiasis, a hideously deforming disease of the tropics, is due to the action of a very minute worm which enters the body through the mosquito's proboscis while the insect is sucking its victim's blood. Between Formosa and the coast oi China lies in a group of twenty-one islands, interspersed with innumerable reefs and ledges, which are called the Pescadores islands. According to the investigations of a Japanese geologist, these islands have suffered in a remarkable manner from the northwest winds, which blow with savage violence there during nine months of the year. The original area of the islands has been greatly reduced by erosion, and their surfaces are barren and desolate, so that the wind-whipped group forms "a quasi-desert amidst the green island irorld of northeastern Asia." The body of Lieut. Fred H. 'Beecher of Gen. Forsyth's scouts, which was buried on Beecher Island in the Arikare ricer, Colorado, 33 years ago, has been recovered, and will be sent to Brooklyn. Young Beecher, who was a nephew of Henry Ward Beecher, fell In a fight with the Cheyennes under Roman Nose. Gen. Foraythe, Lieut. Beecher and 47 men were surrounded by nearly. 1,000 Indians. Two men, Charles Christy and Fletcher Vilotte, got through the Indian lines and eventually brought relief. -Soon afterward they were detailed on the squad to bury Lieut Beecher. Both men were at the recent unveiling of a monument on Beecher Island, and it was through them that the long lost grave was located and the body recovered by the relatives (Copyright. 1900. by Louis $lopsch.) The text is II. Kings xl., 2, 3: "Jehosheba, the daughter of King Joram, sister of Ahaziah, took Joash, the son of Ahaziah, and stole him from among the king's sons which were slain, and they hid him, even him and his nurse, In the bedchamber from Athaliah, so that he was not slain. And he was with her hid in the house of the Lord six years." Grandmothers are more lenient with their children's children than they were with their own. At 40 years of age if discipline be necessary chastisement is used, but at 70 the grandmother, looking upon the misbehavior of the grandchild, is apologetic and disposed to substitute confectionery for whip. There is nothing more beautiful than childhood. Grandmother takes out her pocket handkerchief and wipes her spectacles and puts them on and looks down into the face of her mischievous and rebellious descendant and says, "I don't think he meant to do it. Let him off this time. I'll be responsible for his behavior in the future." My mother, with the second generation around her, a boisterous crew, said one day: "I suppose they ought to be disciplined, but I can't do it. Grandmothers are not fit to bring up grandchildren." But here in my text we have a grandmother of a different type. 1 have been at Jerusalem, where the occurrence of the text took place, and the whole scene came vividly before me while I was going over the site of the ancient temple and climbing the towers of the king's palace. Here in the text it is old Athaliah, the royal murderess. She ought to have been honorable. Her father was a king. Her husband was a king. Her son wts a king. And yet we nml her plotting for the extermination of the entire royal family, including h?r own grandchildren. The executioners' knives are sharpened. The palace i s red vv'ith the blood of princes and princesses. On all sides *re shrieks and hands thrown up and struggle and -death—groam—Na mercy4—Kttf, kill! But while the ivory floors of the palace run with carnage and the whole land U under the shadow of a great horror a fleet-footed woman, a clergyman's wife, Jehosheba '£>y name, stealthily approaches the imperial nursery, seises upon the grandchild that had somehow as yet escaped massacre, wraps it up tenderly but in haste, snuggles ii against her, fibs down the palace stairs, her heart in her throat le^t she be discovered in this compassionate abduction. Oet her out of the way as quick as 'you can, for she carries a precious burden, even a yoimg king. Witt this youthful prize she presses into the room c'f the p.ncieut temple, the church of olden time, v.nwraps the young king and puis him down, sound asleep as he is and unconscious of the peril that has been threatened, and there for six years he is ser"-ete.1 in that church apartment. Meanwhile old Athaliah smacks her lips with satisfaction and thinks that all the royal family are dead. But the six years expire, and it is time for young Joash to come forth and take the throne and to push back into dis grace and death ohl Athaliah. Tlie Crown'u? of Jnaxh. The arrangements are all made for political revolution. The military come and take possession or" the temple, swear loyalty to the boy Joash and stand arovnd for his defense. See the sharpened swords and the burnished shields! Everything is ready. New Joash, half affrighted at the armed tramp of his defenders, scared at the vociferation of his admirers, is brought forth in full regalia. The scroll of authority is put in his hands, the coronet of governnvM is put on his brow, and the peop> 'lipped and waved and huzzaed and trumpeted. "What i3 that?" askt\' Athaliah. "What is that sound ovc; ..i the temple?" And she flies to' *< . and on her way they meet her and *jy, "Why haven't you heard? You thought you had slain all the royal family, but Joash has come to light." Then the royal murderess, frantic with rage, grabbed her mantle and tore it to tatters and cried until she foamed at the mouth: "You have no right to crown my grandson. You have no right to take the government from my shoulders. Treason, treason!" While she stood there crying that the military started for her arrest, and she took a short cut through a back door of the temple and ran through the royal stables, but the battleaxes of the military fell on her in the barnyard, and for many a day when the horses Were being unloosened from the chariot after drawing out ywng Joash the fiery gt*><2« wouJc -:non. and rear pss> i S X •» ing the place as they smell the place of the caroage. • » 0»uaot 9m CxtlagaUhed* Well, my friends', Just i s poor a botch doe* the world always make of extinguishing righteousness. Superstition rises up and says, "I will just put an end to pure religion." Domitian slew 40,000 Christians, Diocletian slew 844,000 Christians. And the scythe of persecution has been swung through all the ages, and the flames hissed, and the guillotine chopped, and the Bastille groaned, but did the foes of Christianity exterminate It? Did they exterminate Alban, the first British sacrifice, or Zwingli, the Swiss reformer, or John Oldcastle, the Christian nobleman, or Abdailah, the Arabian martyr, or Anne Askew, or Sanders, or Cranmer? Great work of extermination they made of it. Just at the time when they thought they haii slain all the royal family of Jesus some Joash would spring up and out and take the throne of power and wield a very scepter of Christian dominion^ Perpetuity of the Bible. How many individual and organized attempts have been made to exterminate that Bible? Have its enemies done it? Have they exterminated the American Bible society? Have they exterminated the British and.Foreign Bible society? Have they exterminated the thousands of Christian institutions whose only object it is to multiply copies of the Scriptures and spread them broadcast around the world? They have exterminated until instead .of one or two copies of the Bible in our houses we have eight or ton, and we pile them up in the corners of our Sabbath school rooms and send great boxes of them everywhere. If they get on as well as they are now going on in the work of extermination, I do not know but that our children may live to see the millennium. Yaa, if there should come a time of persecution in__r/bich all the known Bibles of the earth should be destroyed, ail these lamps of life that blaze in our pulpits and in our familtes extinguished, in the very day that infidelity and sin should be holding jubilee over the universal extinction, there would be in some closet of a backwoods church a secreted copy of the Bible, and this Joash cf eternal literature would come out and come up and take the throne, and the Athaliah of Infidelity and persecution would fly out the back door of the palace and drop her miserable carcass under the hoofs of the .horses of the kijigjs_stables. You_can not exterminate Christianity.' You cannot kill Joash. The second thought I Innd you from mV subject is that there are opportunities in which we may save royal life. You know that profane history is replete with stories of strangled monarchs and of young princes who have been put out of the way. Here is the story of a young king saved. How Jehosheba, the clergyman's wife, must have trembled as she rushed into the imperial nursery and snatched up Joash! How she hushed him lest by his cry ho hinder the escape! Fly with him, Jehosheba! You hold in your arms the cause of God and good government. Fail, and he is slain. Succeed, and you turn the tide of the world's history in the right direction. It seems as if between that young king and his assassins there is nothing but the frail arm of a woman. But why should we t;pend oiir time in praising this bravery of expedition when God asks the same thing of you and me? All around us the imperiled children of a great king. They are born of Almighty parentage and will come to a throne or a crown if permitted. But sin, the old Athaliah, goes forth to the massacre. Murderous temptations are out for the assassination. Valens, the emperor, was told that there was somebody in his realm that would usurp his throne and that the name of the man should begin with the letters T, H, E, O, D, and the edict went forth from the emperor'3 throne, "Kill everybody whose name begins with T, H, E, O, D." And hundreds and thousands were slain, hoping by that~inassarre to put an end to that one usurper. But sin is more terrific in its denunciation, It matters not how you spell your name, you come under the knife, under its sword, under its doom, unless there be some omnipotent relief brought to the rescue. But, blessed be God, there is such a thing as delivering a royal soul. Who will snatch away Joash" Inatrnctlna for Chi ttran. This afternoon in your Sabbath school class there will be a prince of God, some one may yet reign as king forever before the throne; there will be some one in ;'our class who has a corrupt physical inheritance; there will be some one in your class who has a father and mother who do not know how to pray; there will be some one In your class who is destined to command i i church or staie, some Cromwell to dissolve a parliament; some Beethoven to touch the world's harp strings, some John Howard to pour fresh air in the lazaretto, some Florence Nightingale to bandage the battlo wounds, some Miss Dix to soothe the erased brain, some John Frederick bnerUxv.to educate the besotted, some David Braiaerd to change the Indian's war whoop to ft Sabbath song, some John Wesley to t marshal three-fourths of Christendom, some John Knox to make queens turn pale, some Joash to demolish idolatry and strike for the kingdom of heaven. There are sleeping in your cradles by night, there are playing in your nurseries by day, imperial sank!*waiting for dominion, and whichever side the cradle they get out will decide the destiny of empires. For each one of those children sin and holiness contend—- Athaliah on the one side, Jehosheba on the other. But I hear people say: "What's the use of bothering children with religious' instruction?1 Let them grow up and choose for themselves. Don't interfere with their volition." Suppose some one had said to Jehosheba: "Don't Interfere with that young Joash. Let him grow up and decide whether he likes the palace or not; whether he tfants to be king or not. Don't disturb his volition." Jehosheba knew right well that unless that day the young king was rescued he would never be rescued at all. I tell you, my friends, the*reason we don't reclaim all our children from worldliness is because we begin too late. Parents wait until the children lie before they teach them the value of truth. They wait until their children swear before they teach them the importance of righteous conversation. They wait until their children are all wrapt up in this world before they tell them of a better world. Too late with your prayers. Too late with your discipline. Too late with your benediction. You put all care upon your children between twelve-and-elghteen. Why do you not put the chief care between four and nine? It is too late to repair a vessel when It has got out of the drydocks. It is too late to save Joash after the executioners have broken in. May God arm us all for this work of snatching royal souls from death to coronation. Work of foul Savin?. Can you imagine any sublimer work than this soul saving? That was what flushed Paul's cheek with enthusiasm; that was what led Munson to risk his life amid Bornesian cannibals; that was what sent Dr. Abeel to preach under the consuming skies of China; that was what gave courage to Phocas lathe third century.

Christ's sake, he put them to bed that they might rest while he himself went TKrtraud in brts own—gardeir^dTSg i~5Is grave and then came back and said, "I am ready." But they were shocked at the idea of taking the life of their host, He said, "It is the will of God that I should die," and he stood on the margin of his own grave, and they beheaded him. You say it is a mania, a foolhardiness, a fanaticism. Rather would I call it a glorious self-abnegation, the thrill of eternal satisfaction, the plucking of Joash from death and raising him to coronation. The third thought I hand to you is that the church of God is a good hiding place. When Jehosheba rushes into the nursery of the king and picks up Joash, what shall she do with him? Shall she take him to some room in the palace? No, for the official desperadoes will hunt through every nook and corner of that building- Shall she take him to the residence of fcome wealthy citizen? No, that citizen would not dare to harbor the fugitive. But she has to take him somewhere. She hears the cry of the mob in the streets; she hears the shriek of the dying nobility; so she rushes with Joash into the room of the temple, Into the house of God, and there she puts him down, a.ic knows that Athaliah and her wicked . assassins will not bother the temple a grtttl deal. So they are not apt to go very much to church, and so she sets down Joash in the temple. There he will be hearing the songs of the worshipers year after year; there he will breathe the "odor""of the £Svien censers; in that sacred spot he will tarry, secreted until the six year* have passed and he come to enthronement. The Bent Hiding Place. Would God that we were all as wise as Jehosheba and knew that the church of God Is the best hiding place! Perhaps our parents took us there in early days. They snatched us away from the world and hid us behind the baptismal fonts and amid the Bibles and psalm books. O glorious inclosure! We have been breathing the breath of the golden censers all the time, and we have seen the Lamb on the altar, and we have handled the vials in which are the prayers of all saints, and we have dwelt under th€ wings of the cherubim. Glorious inc i s u r e ! When my father and mothei died and the property was settled up, there was hardily anything left. But they endowed us with a property worth more than any earthly posses* sion because they hid us in the temple. And when days of temptation have come upon my soul I have gone there for shelter, and when assaulted of sor, row; I have gone there for comfort, and there I mean to live. I want, liks .'oQsh, to stay until coronation Stqckholm and Its environs are suffering from a plague of rats, which, if it is not checked, may later lead to a plague of disease. The evil has gone on unheeded for years, and now the pests are so numerous that people are crying out for energetic ineasjirjB. The rats career about the city toward evening, and may be seen romping even in crowded thoroughfares, so bold have they become owing to the laxity of the authorities. Not a house In .the town is free from the pest, and serious damage is being done to foundations. It is proposed to offer a premium for each rat destroyed, after the policy adopted by the Copenhagen corporation. NEW OmC'AL OF THE ST.

The tax commission claims that under section 152 of th& amendment of the tax law passed at the legislative session of 1899 authority was given to the tax commission to review the rolls and to have the valuation fixed by the board taken as the basis for the tax. It was decided several days ago to bring these provisions of law before the supreme court for its construction, and at a meeting of the tax commission and Atty.-Gen. Oreu, papers were prepared for a case to be commenced against the assessing officers at Ishpeuiing. The court will be asked for a man damns to eompet the assessing- officers to make u*e of the valuations fixed by the tax couimis- .siou us a basis for the December taxes, and the questiou will then come squarely before the court. !*W » * f * = » m\ :.iv,>i, •Wt One Killed and Four Injured.

One look at Mollte had been enough. Mollle, mean- "While, dragged anj'thing she could find against the door and opened the win- -dow quietly. Ttren she helped Kate into her things and, tying a shawl over her head, put her out on the slopi n g tiled roof of fhe veranda and crawled out after her. "Now, listen, Kittle," she whispered Impressively. "I am going to let my- •seH^dowji by- one of the pillars, and when 1 say your name and Pbld out my Tirma you are to jump. Then we .-shall run as fast a s we can 'to the White hoi'.se." "Yes, Mollle/' murmured the child obediently, her eyes wLde_with terror. Without waiting for hat or wrap, Mollie scrambled down, and a minute later they were speeding out on to ithe road. "Some one was rarttling the door Ikandle;" said TCate, as Mollie paused t o .open :the gate. Mollie's only answer was to take her hand again and mn. I t was ftfr their lives, literally a race for their lives that ;they were running, she knew. Was that the clang of the. gate behind them?

As "Mollie caught her up and hurried •on with clenched teeth, she felt sure —she heard footsteps on the hard mart •behind.

Madam Dubois was dangerously mad from that night, enacting over and OT«r> again the terrible deed she had committed, the combined remorse and j was true about her, or did she see him again; but he quietly disappeared from knowledge, though many years afterward Mollie received begging letters at intervals from him. And It was Mollie who took compasion on her enemy, and returned good for evil by paying for her to toe well cared for in an asylum, where she lingered for some years. Being left without a guardian, he? trustees were quite willing for her to accept Mrs. Anstruther's offer of a home until her marriage, an offer ex-* tended to Kate also; so everything at Chalfont was sold and the place let, and Mollie would have been happy indeed, but for her anxiety about her little half-sister. Poor child! She had been failing all winter, though "Mollie could not see it, and as the spring advanced she grew weaker and weaker, though she suffered no pain. They were all very good to her, these kind people, bearing with the fractious irritability that she could not control. Reggie came home as often as he could, and taught Mollie to ride; while all Reverton called, anxious to show that they were glad to be friends with Colonel L'Estrange'a daughter. But the little girl was never neglected or forgotten. Many an hour would gocd-natured Reggie carry her aboutin the old garden and amuse her, and she was very fond of the tall, handsome young fellow, watching him with preternaturally large eyes; but there was no one like Mollie toward the end. her first love and her last, her "very own Mollie!" "Is she not beautiful, Joyce?" she said one day, as she watched them set off for a ride, and they turned to nod cheerfully as the tiny, thin hand was waved from the window. "Reggie loves her very much, but not s o much as I do. No <one in this world can tell what MolHe has been to me." And Joyce, softly stroking the flaxen curls of the owner of Chalfont, thought of that, scene in the garden the preceding spring, when the over-dressed little heiress, sitting in the swing, had spoken sp differently. Truly Mollie had worked wonders! "Everything I have is yours, Mollie," the child said with passionate devotion, one cold, spring afternoon, as the girl sat rocking her gently to and fro before the fire. "My heart, my life, everything; but who would have Chalfont if I died?" —-1~shouidV-myJrOttieJ! "Oh, then that is all right." And Kate nestled closer into her arras with a smile of utter contentment. "We are very happy now, Mollie, are we not? Will you sing mother's lullaby again?" Mrs. Anstrutherls face was looking very grave as she watched the child; but with the courage that always came to Mollie in her need, she began softly to sing the old nursery tune they both loved. Once Kate stirred and gave a little sigh; but Mollie went on, though to ears that .heatfl not, for with that sigh the little girl had fallen into that sleep that .knows n o waking, and gone .home to the Heavenly Father whom ^lollie had taught her to love. "You must not .grieve too much, Mollie darling," Reggie said later, when ,she had cut off a long, fair curl, and they hail carried the -child away and laid her ib.y h&r mother's side i n t h e church yard. "Had .she lived there .are many things Ihatahe must have known as she grew older., .which would have hurt her. She i s spaced much suffering." And Mollie, remembering her darling's quick, sensitive spirit, knew i t She was yery happy as time TftpHtttCAV E X P E R I M E N T S . K«w IfethoA of Studying Blv«r How At Dresden an experiment station has been eatablished called "Fluasbau Laboratorium" for the study of river flows, a subject which is now attracting great attention in Germany. The station Is located in the basement of the Dresden Technical school and i s under government supervision. In a large room extending its whole length there i s an irpn trough seven feet widq and two feet deep, at one end of which there is a large tank so placed and arranged that the water it contains can. be regulated t o flow into the trough 'in any desired" volume. The trough is filled with sand, and in it the course of any river or section thereof that it is desired t o experiment with is accurately mapped to a scale. The sand i s variously colored to represent the different formations thrdugh which the river flows, and dams, piers, breakwaters, docks, bridges, etc., are built so that an exact miniature representation of the stream is obtained. The water is then turned on andv regulated to flow precisely as i t does in the real river. Certain other devices are also provided to catch the sand washed out of the trough, which can then be gathered up and measured and the amount of sand carried per cubic foot calculated. The operator, who in this case is Professor Engels, watches the effects of' the flowing water on the banks and bottom of the stream, noting how the bars are being built up, where the channel is being deepened, where hollows are being filled, etc. He is thus enabled to determine from actual observation where engineering work should be done, either for the advantage of navigation or for the benefit of shore property. In cases where any structure in the river may be under consideration it is first built in miniature in the model and its effects in the way of causing washouts or silting up of other parts of the stream noted. In addition to the saving of expenditure in the erection in river3 of what, from want of accurate knowledge, too often prove to be utterly futile structures for the purposes for which they were intended, the s p e c i a l a i m of the experiments is to ascertain how to regulate river flows to the end that they will keep their own channels clear and deep enough without dredging. It is thought that there is a great future for the work and'that the time is not far distant when all rivers will be regulated by the advice of river experts who have taken a course in one of these laboratories.

It was found that she had broken into Mollie's room, and, discovering the window open and t h e room empty, had evidently pursued them down the road, for one of ber shoes was found not far from the White house gates. Foiled in ber attempt by the timely arrival of Reggie, she had returned and •mashed everything In the room, buryi n g the knite in Mollie's pillow. Henri was telegraphed for, but declined to come, sending word that he was seriously iU with the shock. The general impression was that he feared to s e t foot in Reverton, as h e had all along known more than he would allow; but nothing could b e proved against him.

But even when children of her own lay In her arms, there, was always a very tender Bpot in Mollie's heart for the child who was gone.

T h e r e A M P e o p l e W h o Claim I t s Iilte Is H a r m l e s s . J. Vr.n Denburgh and 0. B. Wright give an account in the September number of the American Journal of Physiology of their experiments "on the physiological action of the poisonous secretion of the Gila monster (Heloderma suspectum). According to them t h e nOJSOn IS i n I t s effrrts- s i m i l a r tr, the venoms of . snakes, respiration, heart activity, sensory irritability and rapidity of blood coagulation are all at first increased., then retarded, with a gradual total loss of function. The vaso-inotor /center is, however, not involved in this quickening and subsequent paralysis; On the contrary, the poison produces immediately a fall in blood pressure owing to vascular,dilatation. The motor nerves are not aff ^ e d . The red blood co-^iscles fret.^ ntly become spherical 3 the result of the noison and the blood may be laked. The secretion of urine is stopped. Respiratory paralysis i s the usual cause of death, but if artificial respiration is maintained death ensues from heart failure. The poisonous character of the bite of these reptiles hap for a long time been a matter of dispute. Accounts of death resulting to man from their wounds have beeva reported, but it has also been claimed by those W h o have looked into the hmtter that these stones were mostly of doubtful authenticity and that others quite as trustworthy showed the contrary to the truth—namely, that the animal was harmless. These experimenters, however, did not use man as a subject, and it may be that notwithstanding the effect of the poison on other animals man may for some reason be immune. Still, it is not advisable to indulge in any frivolities with the creature, at least until more Is known regarding it. The late Prof. B. D. Cope had one for some time as a pet m his study on Pine street. He allowed it to run around among the fossils and papers- seemingly without any thought of its being dangerous. * Common sense shines with increased luster when set in humility.

Some Entertaining fccrnp< of Family Il'\ ta*y-A Kom&utlc Element t* Mixed I ]» fVJt.i Moat Love Affulm lut«uc»t Ntvtr Flae* In the 6nbj. ct. ^JZ Marriage has always been one of the world's greatest themes. Inter..* never flags in the subject. Men na e tired of their own matrimonial "experiences sometimes, but of other people's never. The great thing, as a wise philosopher said, fa to get the right girl. There is no stereotyped way of getting her. Just aa men have found different ways of proposing, so there have been endless ways in which men have met their fates. A romantic element is mixed up with most love affairs. Horace Greeley and Mary Young Cheney were married the first day they met. They had corresponded for some time, a mutual friend, who was something of a matchmaker, having brought this about. She was young and beautiful and all his fancy painted her, but she was much disappointed in hie appearance, so much so that when he appeared before her, having proposed and been accepted by letter and the marriage day fixed, she frankl y told him |hat although she married him, she was not in love with him. Their married life was long and happy a^tf the loss of his wife was & blyvf which he did not long survive. / The second time that Bismarck met Fraulein Johanna Puttkammer he* kissed her soundly in the presence of a number of guests. The immediate effect of tbi3 embarrassing and shocking behavior was the prompt announcement of the betrothal, which was soon followed by the marriage. The first time Mary Todd met Lincoln she said to her sister: "That man will be President ope of these days. He will make a husband to be proud of." About that time Linco^'s chances of becoming President seemed as remote as possible, and Mary's sister laughed the idea to scorn. A few months afterward Mary Todd was married to "Ugly Abe," and in fourteen years the pre"dtction^w2ra-fulfilled. As a child the future Mrs. Lincoln' had prophesied that she would become the wife of a President of the United States. The first August Belmont's marriage to Commodore Perry's daughter grew out of a duel. At his first meet-" ing with the lady, a blooming Balt!- more belle, at the theatre, he challenged a man who made some remark reflecting on the virtue of women generally.

Young Porter, however, managed to continue his visits to his fair one. One bright moonlight night the Commodore, rousing up irom aa afterdinner nap, discovered young Porter and his sweetheart behind one of the windows of the stern ports. "Young man." thundered the Commodore, "how did you enter this cab- In?" The midshipman replied. "The orderly is not to blame. I came over the, mlzzen chains and through the quarter galley window." Midshipman P.ofter, through the balance of the cruise was regularly admitted to visit the cabin and on the ship's arrival home the marriage took place. «T. .|. .|. »J> »|«. « | . >|..|> *]* «|» •!« «|» «|» »t« ,1 ' * He Waa Very Terrible In War, but * * •L Easily Disarmed by a Woman. * *I' 'I' *\* "I* *1* *I"I' *t* 'I* **' 'I'"*!"

"I want your daughter for my wife," Stanley said, "give heivto me, and do you at the same \ i m e become my mother, father, brother and sister." "She is yours," repied mamma, "and so am I." That, in brief, is the story of Stanley's wooing, and Mrs. Tennant is his as irreparably and indissolubly as her daughter is, and Mr. Stanley is said to be a niodel husband and a tractable and obedient son. It was through his novel, "The Scalp Hunters," that Capt. Mavne Reid won a bride. He was thirty years old when he met ^a damsel of thirteen, with whom he at once fell in love. The child, of course, took no notice of him, but he gave her the story to read, as effective a manner of courting in this nineteenth century as ever was Othello's in an earlier one. Two years later the young lady was at a public meeting where Capt. Reid spoke on behalf of the Polish refugees. "An electric thrill seemed to pass through me as he entered 'he room," she afterward said, and when the meeting was over she went up to speak to him. "I leave for London on the next train," he said, hurriedly. "Please send me your address." "I do not. know where," she replied with some embarrassment. He instantly handed put his card and was gone. A formal little note followed: "Dear Capt. Reid—A you asked nm to send you my address. I do so." By return of post came the answer: Only say that you love me and I will be with.you at once," and then the reply, 'I think I do love you." Needless to say that th>re is nothing as good as", this in the lovers' novels. That, Admiral Porter was not a'raid to brave the fire of an unpropi.ious parent doubtless raised him in the esteem of hie lady love. When a midshipman en board the flagship of Commodore Porter, who was accompanied by his family, whiqh i a # ) s £ | a young and lovely daughter; Porter allowed no parental coi to. frighten him. The orderly *Q& to allow the midshipman i o Whenever the widow, Magdalen Monostary, sent her son, who was studying law in the residence, his monthly stipend, she always accompanied it by a closely written eight page letter. What wonder then that when the occasion really called for it and the case was important she should have sent her elder brother a communication which might easily be mistaken for a volume, nearly every tenth line of which appealed to him to save the family honor and that immediately and without a moment's delay. "My strength is exhausted and my son is obdurate," pleaded she, "and I do not dare say a word, as he immediately throws out hints and makes threats which makes my blood run cold and my heart to staud still. I am anticipating some terrible calamity. In my opinion the best thing to do would be to talk to the girl herself, only I could not do it, as I am nothing but a mere woman. With you it is different. You. being a man, could do it so much better than 1. The honor of our family is at stake, and my whole trust and confidence are anchored ou you." Thus appealed to and the case being so urgent, the general lost not a moment's time. Having consulted a time table and sent a telegram to his sister saying, "I am coming," he left on the spot. "I shall bit this idyl right through the center," muttered he, twisting the ends of his mustache into such fierce ends as if he intended to spear the idyl on their points. The widow, Magdalen Monostary, could not do otherwise than meet him at the depot and, falling on his neck, sob her soul out on hi9 manly bosom. On the way homeshe did nothing but lament: "Only a tailor's daughter! Only a tailor's daughter!" The general made a deprecatory gesture. "All right, my dear, all right. Console yourself. I am going to see things." As the carriage rolled along the single street of the little province town the l i e w s that the geheraFhad arrived spread like wildfire, and at the market square a small boy yelled: "Won't tailors get it. though! The general has arrived." But the prodigal son, he who jeopardized the family honor, was nowhere to be found, as he had left the house early In the morning. "Never mind," said the general, "I have come to see to things with regard to the girl. I do not need him." "Shall I accompany you, Belshazzar?" "No, indeed. Women invariably spoil everything. I will manage without you," and straight as a ramrod he started on his errand to the loud clanking of his sword, which struck the sidewalk at every step, until he reached the hut in which the tailor patched and steamed tke pants of the poorer citizens of the town. He was followed at a respectful distance by a small regiment of barefooted children, who stared in awestruck admiration at his belligerent mustache and gold embroidered collar and who whispered among themselves, "He is going to the tailor's, and he will murder Este with that saber!" The general finally noticed the crowd of little ragamuffins, and their sight made him furious. He could not very well disperse them, for a -general could not so far forget his dignity as to notice the children of the rabble, but on reaching his destination he gave the door such a tremendous pull that the tailor, who for the last five minutes had been trying to look dignified, nearly fell off the table. The general remained standing on the threshold. He looked the tailor up and down and then down and up and finally thundered in his most military accents, "Are you the boss?" If the tailor had dared to answer truthfully, he would have answered, "Not exactly." As It was, however, he answered with humility, "I am, but I hope you will kindly excuse It" The general looked the frail little man over once more and thought within himself: "What an acquisition, to one's family! Something truly to be nroud of!" Hers the Mrs., who, to do ber justice, had much more presence of mind than her husband and was much the cooler * Jkt.tgrQioffers!jLCJhajr IS.tbe general, saying, "W.ou"£ you a e e w t a 'section o f our modest little home?" But the general frowned ber down and remained standing. "Thank you," laid be stiffly, "1 have no intention of jltftng down. I want to speak to your daughter." The girl was probably not unprepared, for she stepped through a half open door and said, "Here I am, general!" Then the general did quite unconsciously what so far be bad forgotten to do. He saluted, at the same time critically examining, the girl who threatened his family with a misalliance. She was slender, but of a majestic figure. She had an exquisite head of soft blond hair and magnificent blue eyes suspiciously red around the edges, as if they had shed a good many tears. There was so much dignity about this young girl, /who was a schoolteacher, that she seemed entirely out of harmony with the surroundings in the father's hut. The general turned to the tailor and asked in a considerably milder tone of voice, "Is this your daughter?" But the girl opened the door Into the sitting room and said firmly, "Kindly step this way, general." The next moment the general saw himself alone with her In the scrupulously clean sitting room. He took a chair, while she remained leaning against the mantel. But the general did not remain seated long. He almost immediately arose again. He walked out of one corner of the room into the other, furiously twirling his mustache. He looked right and left and up and down and then became aware that he did not know how to begin. Finally the girl said, "I thought you wanted to speak tome?" The general struck a martial attitude, grabbed his sword and stuttered, "Yes, yes, but perhaps you have already guessed what i have come for?" "I think I have," faltered the girl. The old general heaved a sigh of relief. "In that case," said he, "I have not much more to add. You seem to be a superior sort of a girl and will therefore understand that this marriage Is not"— "To be thought of!" the girl managed to finish, with a choking voice. She was as pale as death and her features set and expressionless, but she stood straight before him and looked squarely into his eyes. The general retreated a step. He was very much embarrassed and decidedly uncomfortable. It seemed to him as if he would much rather have been ln the thickest of the battle than where he was. An unaccountable feeling akin to fear began creeping over him, and in order to do something and relieve, the tension he said in a voice of thunder, "My nephew is a good for nothing, God forsaken reprobate!" Something like a red flame shot into the girl's eyes. "Do not slander him in my presence," said she threateningly. The general was effectively silenced. He felt as if his mission was at an end, and yet he did not want to acknowledge himself beaten nor yet leave without haviug-nnrde i l l s peace with the girl. He had the need of saying something comforting to the girl without exactly apologizing. He approached her again and said In a soft, hesitating voice: "Excuse me. my child! I am so sorry!" At the sound of this gentle, appealing voice the outward composure which the girl had been keeping up with difficulty completely forsook her, and she broke down. Seizing both the arms of the general with an iron grasp, she called out in a voice ablaze with passion: "Then why do you want to kill me? What has brought you here? Whom have I dishonored and what blot is there on me?" The general felt as if some one was strangling him, and then he became furious at himself. He brought his fist down on the table with such force that everything dauced upon it and, running up and down the room, shouted: "Whatever did I come here for? Is this my funeral? Am 1 a detective or a hangman? Is It my business to persecute women ?" "Forgive me," stammered the frightened girl tearfully. "I did not mean t o " - "Forgive you? On the contrary, I beg your pandon. What must you think of me? I am a soldier, not a lawyer, and I shall see that no one molests you. I came to see to things, and' I mean to do it, and what I am going to—well, is going to happen." With this he opened the door leading Into the workshop, where the father and^the mother of the girl were, and roared with a voice which, made the walls shake: "I am asking for the hand of your daughter for my nephew, as ; she evidently loves tbe rascal, and you jare not going to say me nay, but you are going to let her marry him. There now! At last everything Is settled satisfactorily." Arrived at bis sister's house, he placed himself in front of ber and In a voice loud enough to be heard by a whole regiment he said: "I have seen to things. Everything is settled as It ought to be. All you have to do now is to see that tbe wedding Is - celebrated at once, for you cannot expect me to undertake tbe journey twice on jfee same business."—Translated From the German For Pittsburg Dispatch.

He should first understand bis business, and second he most have unimpeachable integrity. The volume of business transacted in the probate office is rapidly increasing. A large proportion of our people are now interested in unsettled estates which are still pending in courts. These people desire from time to time to know their rights therein, and they must go to the j u d g e to ascertain them. He must therefore be qualified to impart this information. Mr. Stowe has spent most of bis life upon the farm: be is familiar with values of all kinds of property, a n * also has a knowledge of the law pretaining to the settlement of estates. He has been tried in public positions and no person.has y e t said that Eugene A . Stowe Was not honest. Every person who knows him knows that his integrity is faultless. In his hand3 the rights of all w i i o w s and orphans will be amply protected; all persons having business in his court may receive correct information concerning the rights and titles to real estate to be preserved tor our children.

The relations existing between mistress and maid in Australia are aptly illustrated in a recent issue of a Queensland paper, in which a girl advertises for a situation to take charge of,a laundry or dairy. She can cook, • •nd understands housekeeping, and adds: "None but a respectable mistress; who wishes to leave her servant in uninterrupted discharge of her duties, need apply."

EDITORIAL—44—GAL 4—Gardere The growth of population about the f*reat Lakes will be one of the important revelations of the present census. Six Lake cities, Buffalo, Cleveland, To*V ledo, Detroit, Milwaukee and Chicago, have added more than a million people since 1890, an increase of nearly fifty per cent The increase is directly related to the growth of commerce of the Great Lakes, which has doubled in the last five years. The tonnage capacity of vessels passing through the canal at Sault Sainte Marie is now half as large again as that of all the vessels which enter and leave the port of New York, and two and a half times as great as the tonnage which passes through the Suez Canal. The Great Lakes certainly cannot be called "a waste of waters." They are teeming with life and usefulness. ..>5 • : / L * * A dealer in spices declares that the consumer can now buy a pound of what purports to be pepper, ground, packed in a tin box and labeled cheaper than the wholesaler can buy pure unground pepper by the ton.

Y.) Washington, Oct 28.—In this discourse Dr. Talmage shows how the spirit of greed destroys when it takes possession of a man and that money got in wrong ways is a curse. Text: Exodus, xxxii, 20, "And he took the calf which they had made and burnt it in the fire, and ground it to a powder, and strewed it upou the water, and made the children of Israel drink of i t " People will have a god of some kind and they prefer one of their own making. Here come the Israelites, breaking off their golden earrings, the men as well as the women, for in those times there was masculine as well es feminine decoration. Where did they get these beautiful gold earring3, coming up as they did, from the desert? Oh, they borrowed them of the Egyptians when they left Egypt. These earrings are piled up into a pyramid of flittering beauty. "Any more earrings to bring?" says Aaron. None. Fire is kindled, the earrings are melted and poured into a mold, not of an eagle, or a war charger, but of a &oilly calf. The gold cocls down, the mold is taken away, and the idol is set up on its four legs. An altar is built in front of the shining calf. Then the people throw up their arms and gyrate and shriek and dance vigorously and worship. Moses has been six weeks on Mount Sinai, and he comes back and hears the howling and sees the dancing of these golden calf fanatics, and he loses his patience, and he takes the two rlates of stone on which were written the Ten Commandments! Moses rushes in, and he takes this calf god and throws it into a hot fire until it is melted all out of shape and then pulverizes it, not by the modern appliance of nitromurlatic acid, but by the ancient appliance of niter or by the old fashioned file. He stirs for the people a most nauseating draft. He takes this pulverized golden calf and throws it in the only brook which is accessible, and the people are compelled to drink of that brook or not drink at all. Modern Golden L'alf. Pull aside this curtain, and you sec the golden calf of modern idolatry. It is not, like other idol?, made out of stocks or stone, but it has an ear so sensitive that it can hear the whispers en Wall street, and Third strest and State street, and the footfalls in the Bank of England, and the flutter of a Frenchman's heart on the Bourse.* It has an eye to keen that it can see the rust on the farm of Michigan wheat and the insect in the Maryland peach orchard and the trampled grain under the hoof of the Russian war charger. It is so mighty that it swings any way it will the world's shipping. It has its. foot on all the merchantmen and the steamers, ft started the American civil war and, under God, it stopped it, and it decided the Turko-Russian contest. One broker it* September, 1869, in New York, shouted, "One hundred and sixty for a million!" and the whole continent shivered. The golden calf of the text has, as far as America is concerned, its right front foot in New York, its left, front foot in Chieagor its right back foot in Charleston, its left back foot in New Orleans, and when it shakes itself it shakes the world. Oh, this is a mighty god—the golden calf of the world's worship. it* Altar of Sacrifice. Further,, every god must have v not only its temple, but its altar of sacrifice, and this golden calf of the text is no exception. Its a'.tar is not made out of stone as other altars, but out of counting room desks and fireproof safes. The victims sacrificed on it are the Swartouts and the Ketchams and the Fisks and lO.OCO other people who are slain before this irolden calf. What, does this god care about the groans and struggles of n o victims before it? With cold, me<'::llic t o it ltvoks on and yet lets tljT.i suffer. What an altar! What a .sacrifice of mind, body and soul! The physical health of a great multitude is flung on to this sacriflcal altar. They cannot sleep and they take chloral and morphine and intoxicants. Some of them struggle in nightmare • of stocks and at 1 o'clock in the morning suddenly rise up, shouting, "A thousand shares of New York Central— 1 ( ^ - t a k e it!" until the whole family is affrighted, and the speculators fall back on their pillows and sleep until they are awakened again b^ a "corner" ^Jn Pacific Mail or a sudden "rise" of Rock Island. Their nerves gone, their digestion gone, their brain gone, they die. The gowned ecclesiastic comes in and reads the funeral service, ;'Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord!" Mistake. They did not "d!o Defradtstf Worship Goes On. Still the degrading worship goes on, a&d the devotees kneel and kiss the dust and count their golden beads and cross themselves with the blood of their own sacrifice. The music folia1 on under the arches. It is made of clinking silver and clinking gold and the rattling specie, of the banks and brokers' shops and. the voices of all the exchanges. The soprano of the worship is carried by the timid voices of* men who have just begun to speculate, while the deep bass rolls out from those who for ten years have have been steeped in the seething caldron. Chorus of voices rejoicing over what they have made; chorus of voices wailing over what they have loat. This temple of which I speak stands open day and night, and there is the glittering god with his four feet on broken hearts, and there is the smoking altar of sacrifice, new victims every moment on it, and there are the kneeling devotees; and the doxology of the worship rolls on, while death stands with moldy and skeleton arm beating time for the chorus—" More, more, more!" Some people are very much surprised at the actions of people in the Stock Exchange, New York. Indeed, it is a scene sometimes that paralyzes description and is beyond the Imagination of any one who has never looked in. What snapping of finger and thumb and wild gesticulation and raving like hyenas and stamping like buffaloes and swaying to and fro and jostling and running one upon the other and deafening uproar, until the president of the exchange strikes with his mallet four or five times, crying, "Order, order!" and the astonished spectator goes out into the fresh air feeling that he has escaped from pandemonium. What does it all mean? I will tell you what it means. The devotees of every heathen temple cut themselves to pieces and yell and gyrate. This vociferation and gyration of the Stock Exchange is all appropriate. This is the worship of the golden calf. Day of Judgment Coining. But every day is a day of judgment, and God is all the time grinding to pieces the golden calf. Some years ago in a time of panic we learned as never before that forgeries will not pay, that the watering of stocks will not pay, that the spending of $50,000 on country seats and a palatial city residence when there are only $30,000 income will not pay,that the appropriation of trust funds to our own private speculation will not pay. We had a great national tumor in the shape of fictitious prosperity. We called it national enlargement. Instead of calling it enlargement we might better have called it a swelling. It was a tumor, and God cut it out. and the nahon was e?nt back to the principles of our fathers and grandfathers, when twice three made six instead of sixty and when the apples at the bottom of the barrel were just as good as the apples on the top of the barrel, and a silk handkerchief was not half cotton, and a man who wore $5 coat paid for was more honored than a man who wore a $50 coat not paid for. The modern golden calf, like the one of the text, is very apt to be made out of borrowed gold. These Israelites of the text borrowed the earrings of the Egyptians and then melted them into a god. That is the way the golden calf is made nowadays. A great many housekeepers, not paying for the articles they get, borrow of the grocer and the baker and the butcher and the dry goods seller. Then the retailer borrows of the wholesale dealer. Then the wholesale dealer borrows of the capitalist, and we borrow and borrow and borrow until the community is divided into two classes, those who borrow, and those who are borrowed of, and after awhile the capitalist wants his money, and ho rushes upon the wholesale dealer, and the wholesale dealer wants his money and he rushes upon the retailer, and the retailer wants his money, and he rushes upon the customer, and we all go down together. There is many a man in this day who rTdes in a carriage and owes the blacksmith for the tire and the wheelwright for the wheel and the trimmer for the curtain and the driver for unpaid wages and the harness maker for the bridle and the furrier for the robe, while from the tip of the carriage tongue clear back to the tip of the camel's hair shawl fluttering out of the back of the vehicle everything is paid for by notes that have been three times renewed. Idol* Demollfthed. But, if we have made, this world our god, when we come to die we shall toe our idol demolished. How much of this world * re you going to take with you into the next? Will you have two pockets—one in each side of your shroud? Will you cushion your casket with bonds and mortgages and certificates of stock? Ah, no! The ferryboat that crosses this Jordan takes no baggage—nothing heavier than an immaterial spirit. Yon may, perhaps, take &50O with you twe t*r orce ml 1*8 in t£* sfegpt o f funnml trappings to the cemetery, but; you-will have to leave them there. It would not be s4*» for you to Ho down there with a> goid watch or a diamond ring. It would be & temptation to the pillagers. If we have made this wprld our god, we shll see our idol when we die ground to pieces by our pillow, and we shall have to drink it In bitter regrets for the wasted opportunities of a lifetime. Soon we will be gone. Where are the men who tried Warren Hastings in Westminster hall? Where are the pilgrim fathers who put out for America? Where are the veterans who on the Fourth of July, 1794, marched from New York park to the Battery and fired "a salute and then marched back again? and the Society of the Cincinnati, who dined that afternoon at Tontine coffee hou.se on Wall street? and Grant Thoburn, who that afternoon waited fifteen minutes at the foot of Maiden I ane for the Brooklyn ferryboat. then got in-and was rowed across by two men with oars, the tide so strong that it was an hour and ten minutes before they landed? Where are the veterans that fired the salute and the men of the Cincinnati society who that afternoon drank to the patriotic toast? and the oarsmen that rowed the boat and the people who were transported? Gone! Oh, this Is a fleeting world! It is a dying world. A man who had worshiped it all his days in his dying moments described himself when he said, "Fool, fool, fool!" Cn failing- Becnrltles. I want you to change temples and to give up the worship of this unsatisfying and cruel gcd for the service of the Lord Jesus Christ. Here is the goldthat will never crumble. Here are the securities that will never fail. Here are the banks that will never break. Here is an altar on, which there has been one sacrifice that does for all, for "by one sacrifice hath Christ perfected forever them that are sanctified." Here is a God who will comfort you when you are in trouble and soothe you when you are sick and save you when you die. For he has said: "When thou pas?est through .the waters, I will be with thee, and through the rivers they shall not overflow thee; when thou walkest through the fire, thou shalt not be burned, neither shall the flame kindle upon thee." -When your parents have breathed their last and the old, wrinkled and trembling hands can no more be put upon your head for a blessing, he will be to you a father and mother both, giving you the defense of one and the comfort of the other. For have we not Paul's blessed hope that as Jesus died and rose again, "even so them also which sleep in Jesus shall' God bring with him." And when your children go away from you, the sweet darlings, you will not kiss them and say goedby forever. He only wants to hold them for you for a little while. He will give them back to you again, and he will have them all waiting for you at the gates of eternal welcome. Oh. what a Gcd he is! He will allow you to come so close that you can put your arms around his neck, while he in response will put his arms around your neck, and all the windows of heaven will be hoisted to let the redeemed look out and see the spectacle of a rejoicing father and a returned prodigal locked in that glorious embrace. Quit worshiping the golden calf and bow this day before him in whose presence we must all appear when the world has turned to ashes. When shriveling like a parched scroll, The flaming heavens together roll, When louder yet and yet more dread Swells the high trump that wake3 the dead. , Oeetf' Tan '.**e*»X '.

The first premium was, won hy J. & Powers of Whiteside county, who produced 305 bushel* and 61 poundage* corn on one acre. The second premium was taken by I* D. Young, whoa* prise acre produced 189 bushel* *Od 46 pounds. Below are too statement* by the growers aa to th* methods used in producing these crops. ' . •''• <•> John M. Powers: The variety of cori used in producing this crop is. thai' known aa the Iowa 8ilvar Mine*. The ground had 35 wagon loads of manure on it in the fall of 18*0.' The ground was plowed seven inches deep on the first day of May, 1900, and the corn was planted in drills on the 14th of the same month. The ground wav uarrowed twice before planting and* twice after planting, and it was cultivated three times with corn plows*. It was also hoed four times, thinned out and all unproductive stalks re* moved. The dates of gathering were September 21 and 22. * * * L. D. Young: This corn was grown on the same ground that was used in raising prize corn in 1899. It was at the beginning very light blue grass sod, but was well tiled and had been" in grass about tea years, and was plowed out of sod in the spring of 1S99. I then put about 65 loads of *-el!-rotted manure on the land. In the fall of 1899 I began to prepare for the second acre, to be shown in the fall of 1900. I put about 28 loads more of fertility on the land and let it lie rill April. 1900. I then plowed very deep to kill all bugs and worms, putting the soil down about six inches, and also turning to the top the fertilizer that had been put on in lb'99. I then, after plowing well, used a roller to settle the ground and protect the crop from drouth, which we always expect-in the fall. About the Sth-ot May I worked the acre over with a disc harrow lightly. Then I planted the corn, using Salzer's White Cap corn. I planted the said corn 3½ feet apart in rows one way anil about 2 grains every 4 inches iu the row. I kept out all cut worms. 1 soon found the corn was too thick and then thinned to one stalk every 4 inches on the average. I cultivated the corn aa shallow as possible, so as to leave the surface mellow and hold the moisture in the ground. I plowed the coru 4 times In'all. each time plowing very lightly and going each time further from the rows. The staiks were very , strong, but the ears were not so heavy as I would like. I made many mistakes in regard to thickness. *nc. Driclca from Glass Waste. An important discovery is said to have been -made by Dr, Ormandy" of St. Helens, formerly science master In the Gamble Institute. He has succeeded in producing bricks of a commercially valiifffcle character -from the waste heaps at glass-making establishments. This refuse, of which millions of tons have accumulated, consists mainly of spent sand, minute particles of glass and about 3 per cent of iron from the various processes, and it has hitherto been considered that the presence oi iron prevented the use of the material in the manufacture of bricks. The experiments carried out by Dr. Orraandy have negatived this hypothesis and he has successfully established the fact that bricks can be produced out of the waste by special treatment.

Two weeks ago we published a larg* number of communications from torrespondents of the Farmers' Review on the value of the Jonathan apple. We add three more: I). F. Dlntleman. Illinois: This is still the very foremost apple for late fall and early winter. The tree is rather a slow grower. The color Is red and the quality of the fruit is the best. Daniel Shank, Illinois: The quality of this fruit is among the best. The tree is long-lived and will bear all the crowding you want to give it. The tree does not bear soon enough in paying quantities to be profitable. Benjamin Buckman. . Illinois: f have several trees planted In 1883, The tree is rather irregular in .growth, but is productive of very fine, red, showy apples, above the medium in size and of the best quality. It ~does not keep long enough and drops badly. The habit among orchardista of late years of picking before maturity and placing in cold storage, will, I think, bring the quality into bad repute and finally destroy the demand.

In which he gave his experience, summed it up as follows: * From the ten years of experience have arrived at the following conclusions: 1st. Would plow the ground tn the fall, and disc before seeding, thereby destroying many weeds and securing a more, compact and even seed bed. 2d. Would sow from eighteen to twenty quarts per acre, not less thau eighteen (unless there la some plan whereby lighter seeding can be made to branch more, either by mowing or rolling.) 3d.

Some of these are built like square towers four or five stories high, with no outside windows save at a considerable' distance above the ground, and no outside projections by which thieves might get in. These establishments arc called pawnshops. But they appear to more resemble banks. It is usual among the Chinese to deposit their possessions of value, when not in use, in these establishments. The people also store there in summer their winter clothing, on wMch money is*often lent. To have dealings with a pawnshop is in no way considered derogatory to a Chinese gentleman's dignity.

"Ycu knew Harvey would marry some, day." "Not when he was a stripling under twenty. You may say 1 needn't have consented to the match. Well, all my life I Had given him everything he cried for if he cried long enough, so when he wanted this now toy, after making myself nearly ill by opposing him, 1 yielded, a3 usual.

'He was infatuated with Helen. • • * - When a handsome woman of twentyfive resolves to cajjiure a boy of nineteen, it is useless to. try to offset her Influence. And there was the father." "You think he helped matters on?" "Yes. A quack doctor of no social Etandins, swamped by debt and burdened with five daughters, would use any means to see one cf them advantageously married. He of cours-3 regarded Harvey as my heir, and even then ho had a fine situation. Roclcville has grown from a village to a manufacturing town since I came here, and well educated young men—for Several years I had private masters for Harvey, as I dared not send him away to college—find no difficulty in gaining positions of trust. The boy was' in advance of his rfge; had I opposed him he might have been persuaded into a runaway match. He thought I would forgive him anything." "I'm afraid women are not successful in rearing boys." "I know they are not We are too Indulgent, too afraid of hurting our darlings, and in the end they become our maoters. Then, too, they are so accustomed to being led by a woman -that^they surrender to the first deaigning one they meet, thinking her all she seems to be. Understand, I have no fault to find with Helen in her relation to Harvey. She is a devoted wife and mother, exemplary in all her way*—She helps the-pcor and goes regularly to church. She is moral as—well, as a copy book, and has a < trite saying for every emergency. She > was the cornerstone of her shiftless father's household, and is kind enough to wish to be the entire foundation of mine." "That is where the trouble begins!" "Naturally, Phebe Tomlinson has kept my house ever since I had one to keep, and resents interference. I uphold my old servant. Helen thinks me weak, frivolous and extravagant. She has persuaded Harvey that I am a mere butterfly, unable to -manage my own affairs. You know l a m nothing of the kind; yet every day finds mc yielding to some new encroachment. Having admitted the nose of the camel I must make room for the whole body, and be crushed to the wall unless i .fight for footing. I am not brave, and rather than fight, I give way; but the _ time is- at hand when I must assert myself or become a cipher. And I dread It." "Never mind, dear. If they go too far, come to New York. You must do so without fear now death has removed the chief cause of your Quixotij exile." Mrs. Atherton sat erect in her chair and looked cautiously about the room. "I can hardly realize I am really free from that haunting terror," she said In a lowered tone. "If our deliverance had only come before Harvey's engagement everything might have been altered." "He does not saspect?" /*Ofe, no! How should he? Phebe and I are the only ones who know. But you can see how many considerations forced if; to countenance tbe marriage, and not drive the boy to ex- • fcremes, lest worse should befall." "I think yovf were wise, Gladys. Yet, since Harvey roally is married, he needs you no longer. You have lived In this quiet town long enough. A3 •»o« no longer entertain, yew must find Rcckvill* very di))J." "Helen does not care tor company," said Gladys, apologetically. "Her health was precarious last winter, and now that baby has come she dislikes to have the routine of the house disturbed. She receives only side door callers, her slaters and their friends, whom she entertains in her own apartments at any hour of the day or evening. Harvey seems satisfied with the society she provides, and has lost interest in his old associates. So I'm obliged to 'flock by myself/-' Mrs. Leonard laughed and rose to go. "Well, try ,Jt for a few months longer. Then, if matters do not change come to the city. Your money will enable you to live in good style there, and enter society. It is your money, Gladys," she added significantly. "Never foreet that. Consider well before you make further sacrifieeo to an overstrained sense of duty. You should never have go immolated youisolf had 1 known your intention in time." Mrs. Atherton did not answer as she walked with her friend to the door, encountering on the threshold a tail, handsome jroimg woman about to enter. "Can you see me now, mother?" the newcomer a3ked, when Mrs. Leonard had taken her departure. "I have a little matter of business to discuss with you." Gladys hated business. She looked ruefully at her son's wife as .with a great rustling of e m p skirU she took a seat at a small onyx table by the window and produced a number of neatly folded bills.and «receipt3. with a brand new account' book whese page3 were headed by various names inscribed in tho plainest of writing, and followed by beautifully shaped figures. Even en a check Gladys detested figures. "Harvey and I were talking over household matters last night, mother," began, Helen, in the concise tones that so well matched her clear cut personality, "and decided that in future it would be best for us—you and me—to cxamTne- tb~c~ Tradesmeir's—long-drawa accounts every quarter." "Why?" asked Gladys, evidently disturbed by the suggestion. "I have perfect faith in the people I deal with." . "I know you have; too much, perhaps. Our bills last quarter were very high," "There were additional persons in tho house. Baby Harvey brought his own court with him," said Gladys, smiling. "However, I have no objection to you taking the accounts of Tomlinson. I never meddled with sach matters in mv life." "That is reaily nothing to be proud of, mother," replied Helen, with a deprecating smile. "As for Mrs. Tomlinson, how do we know she is not in league with the tradesfolk? Such cases aire not unusual." —"I wouldsooner suspect myself thin Phebe," said Gladys, her soft voice hardening. "She has been in the family for over thirty years." "And so, if she takes what she considers her commission, regards herself safe. R*iilly, mother ** "Ob, Helen, I wish you wouldn't call me that:'' cried Gladys, who found her daughter-in-law's manner unusually irritating. "Why, hew else should I address you?" asked Helen, compressing her full red lips. "By my name. Gladys, or Madam Gladys, if yon like. Harvey always called mc so before his marriage." "A mother should not be ashamed of the proudest of all titles. I have been taught to venerate my elders." Gladys was an amiable woman, but she had a pretty one's vanity. At this allusion to her seniority over the speaker she lost her temper. "Don't be ab3urdr* she retorted. "There is no common sense reason why a woman cf your age should venerate one of mine. When you call me mother yon make us both appear ridiculous. One should regard the fitness of things." "What shall I call you then?" Helen steadily repeated. "Anything but that, Mrs. Atherton will do if you really decline my previous suggestion," said Gladys, carelessly. She was warming to tbe fray, and felt some pride in her new found courage. "And now I must .ask you to excuse me. I ride at three." Helen methodically replaced her papers in the account book. "Shall you have time to attend to this matter when you return, Mrs. Atherton?" she coldly asked. Gladys almost flinched; the deliberate utterance of her name seemed like a douche of cold water.

"My son's wife is at liberty to do as sbe pleases in these matters." • "I'm not saying otherways; she's welcome to all you have, no doubt; It's her that complains of the leaks, not me; but if she wants to stop them, I'll show her where to begin. Fruit out of season, and wine and cordials, soon count up to a pretty penny." "You arc insolent," said Helen, with difficulty controlling her anger.

Through alt the grotesque dartaapr of Pueblo superstition, writes Marion Hill in frank Leslie's Popular Monthly for October, mas a bright thread of poetic legend; and.one legend, since it is woven around the rained estufa in tbe rained Pueblo of Pecos, has a right to be told here. Pecos was founded by the man-god, the great Montezuma himself, and he therefore probably felt a protective interest in. It; at any rate when the usurping Spaniards lay upon the conquered Pueblos a cursed rule of restraint and wrong, Montezuma invoked against them the aid of his brother gods in* heaven. These told him to plant a tree upside down beside the chief estufa of Pecos, an4 to light a holy fire upon the altar, and if the fire were kept burning until the tree fell,, then would there come to the rescue of the oppressed. _a great pale-race nation, and deliver them from the Spanish thrall. So the fire was lit, and a sentinel was posted to guard its sacred flame; and the tree was planted—under the circumstances the planter would be excusable in plantins tho tree as insecurely as possible. But year after yc:r passed, and the tree remained standing. Sentinel succeeded sentinel, and the flame lived on. Generations withered away, yet deliverance saemed no nearer. One day there came a rumor from old Santa Fe that the city had surrendered to a white-faced people. Was this the band of deliverers? That, day at noon the sabred tree topple! and fell. Spanish rule was no more. The prophecy had been fulfilled. If there be an unbeliever of this legend, let him go to the ruins of Pcccs and see far himsslf that whereas the city was uuilt upon a mesa £3 barren that no trees are there nor ever have been there, yet across the crumbling estufa lies the fallen body of a pine of mighiy growth. The like cf it is not for many miles around. Whence then did it come? One Slffn Told the Truth.

"Then you will not lock at the accounts?" asked Helen. She had completely recovered her self poise, and was again calmly assertive. "No, You really mutt excuse me." 'Very well, I am sorry you consider my well meant oifer interference. Do not forget that 1 acted en my busband's suggestion." "I have no doubt your intentions were of the best. I admit, tool" that I may live extravagantly; but I have been used to luxury all my*life. I like it, and I can afford it. That, I think, covers the question." She .rose, indicating that the interview was at an end; but Helon had still something to say, and being a resolute young woman, proceeded td say it. ~**A~ncr do you owe nothing to your son and to his sons after him?" sho slowly asked. "My dear father has often told me that he is but the steward of his children's property; as all he has will one day be theirs, he owes it to them to limit his expenses as much as possible. Have you no such realization of a plain duty?" Gladys stood tor a moment as 1! petrified; then her outraged feeling; found vent in a stinging reply. "I was not aware that Doctor Blake ever had a dollar he could honestly call his own," she said with unmistakable contempt. Helen turned scarlet. Her anger seemed almost to suffocate her. She put her hand to her throat, which throbbed 'violently. Gladys shrank from her fierce look, terrified at the demon she had stirred. But the poor doctor's daughter had learned selfmastery in a trying school, and after one stormy moment was herself again. "I thank you for your kind and charitable thought, madam," she said calmly, and with a bow left the room, leaving her conqueror to endure what was worse than the pangs of defeat— the consciousness that she had not acied with the generosity which usually characterised her every action. Standing at the drawing room window half an hour afterward, with her baby is ber arms, Helen saw Gladys gallop off. followed by a groom in unassuming livery. She disapproved of this groom as she disapproved of the housekeeper and Gladys' own maid. They were all unnecessary luxuries. To tbe debt-haunted doctor's daughter lavish expenditure seemed almost wicked—the more so that one day tbe money which made it possible would belong by right to her children. She stood looking discontentedly into the fair garden, now rioting in ro3es, waiting for Harvey's appearance. Every day found her at this window, ready to greet him with a smile while he was still at a distance, and with her baby in her arms, hei beautiful eyes glowing with wifely love and motherly pride, -he made a picture fair enough to justify young Atherton'8 infatuation for her.

X When It was finally settled that I was to go up into the mountains of Wyoming on a bunting trip with old Bill Potts, a dosen men called to bid me a last goodby. They looked their pity and sorrow, and their hands tingered lovingly in mine. I was rather skeptical. I didn't see why I should be pulled down by a mountain Hon, clawed into mince meat by a griaaly bear or buried, under a landslide, but they smiled feebly and shook their heads In a solemn way. Only one telegram received out of eight or ten threw any light on the matter, and the light came too late. It read: "If you are going hunting with old Bill Potts, you'd better make your will and leave things easy for the widowed and fatherless." The other telegrams simply read that the senders would see that my grave was kept green, if It could ever be found, and that it was to be hoped I wouldn't suffer over a week In dying. I Uked old Bill. He was hale and hearty and good natured, and he could pack a mule, cook a good meal and shoot fairly straight. He was a smoker and a chewer, played a good game of euchre, and I had every confidence that the pair of us would get along like brothers. We got away in good style, and it was two full days before anything happened to shake my confidence in him. Then, as I sat cleaning my rifle, he picked up the ax to cut some wood. He hadn't made six strokes before the ax flew off the handle and almost shaved my hair aa it passed. "Excuse me, colonel," said old Bill as he held up the handle. "That ax has bin loose for the last six months and orter have bin fixed. I'll tend to it the first rainy day we have." "But man, that was a close call for me," I said as 1 felt my anger rising. "Yes, colonel, but as long as no danv age was done It's all right. I kinder thought it was goln to cut yer head ^nVbut-it ria-aJeetle and missed ye." I figured that it was pure accident and overlooked it. Next morning old Bill found the trail of a lion near our camp, and after breakfast we took It up and started out. I had a. Winchester, and he bad a double barreled shotgun loaded with buckshot. He took the lead, and we had trailed for half a mile when I stumbled over a stone and pitched forward. Potts was about 20 feet ahead of me, gun on bis shoulder and passing perfectly open ground. As I went down both barrels of his gun were discharged, and my hair curled as the handful of shot shrieked over me and cut away half the branches of a'young pine. "What is it? What were you shooting at?" I shouted as I scrambled up, half expecting the lion had got in our rear and was stalking us. "Ye see, colonel," replied old Potts, With a sb(**p1«h lnftk on his face. WI allus carry my gun on the full cock, so's to save time, and I guess I must have bin tlngerin them hammers." "You dolt! You idiot! You Jackass!" I yelled at him as I looked for a club. "If I hadn't Btumbled over that stone, you'd have blown a hole through me as big us a barrel." "Yes; but ye stumbled, and, bein aa no harm was done, I hope ye won't get mad about it Why, sich things are liable to happen every day." I told Potts that if I ever caught him carrying his gun in that shape again I'd pump lead into his legs and leave him to the wolves, and for the rest of the day the relations between us were strained. Under the influence of a good supper and a pipe we got closer together, however, and by and by he went into the tent for the cards. He was fussing around for several minutes, and I had just opened my mouth to ask him the cause of his delay when a bullet lifted the bat off my bead and Bent It ten feet behind me. I made two jumps for a bowlder and yelled to Potts, thinking I had been fired on by a renegade Indian, but when the man came out with my self cocking revolver in his hand I knew what bad happened. "You blunderhead! You fool of a jackassP' 1 shouted as I made np to him, but he backed off and protestingly explained: "Don't git narvous, colonel I had never seen one of these self cockers and was jest tryin i t I might have p'inted it the other way, but 1 didn't think." "No, you didn't and the ban went through my bat Potts, yon are a fooL Yon don't know enough to chew beans." "What a fuss to raise ore; a leetle ident and nobody hurt at thatP* si&hod Potts, and we spoke no more togVher that evening.

We bad with us a thumping t>i? ix>nr trap, tfnd while be shouldered it And set off to-place it In hopes te foot of my face and with a sound that made me think of a surgeon sawing off legs. I had escaped, but. my gun was caught in a giant's vise. I got up and tried to call old Potts names, but I was so shaken and mad that not a word would come. He stood looking at me with a puzzled and anxious expression on his face, as If wondering what there was to break loose about and at last I grabbed up a club and jumped in on him. I believe that I chased him fully a mile before 1 gave up, but he kept out of my way. When I finally sat down to rest, he came sneaking back to say: "Colonel, they all said ye was a queer sort of a critter, but this last circus beats my time. Mebbe ye'U tell me what it's all about V "And maybe I'll pump 16 bullets into you as soon as I get hold of my rifle I" 1 gasped. "Potts, you ought to be killed out of hand. It won't be murder to wipe you off the face of the earth." "Bekase of that b'ar trap?" he asked. "Yes, of course. You knew where it was and never said a word to me. If I hadn't struck the chain with my foot, I'd have walked right into it." "Yes, I'd sorter forgot 'bout that trap." he mused as he scratched his ear, "but it's all right ain't it? Ye didn't walk into It and I can't see why ye should kick up sich a row. Lordy, but ye seem to be a mighty pertickler man!" It was a bit of a job to get my rifle free of the Jaws, and I then dumped the old trap Into a ravine and warned Potts that if he showed his face in camp I'd fusillade him. He waited for two or three hours and then came in with an injured expression on his face and started up the fire for supper. By that time I had got over my desire to shed his blood, but I couldn't overlook bis •carelessness. We ate and smoked and sat around in silence, and next day would have seen the partnership dissolved for sure but for an incident of the night. Soon after midnight a grizzly camo skulking around and almost stampeded our mules, and Potts showed his gameness by bluffing the old fellow back into the thicket without waiting for me. This broke the ice and made us friends again, and it was agreed to give old Ephralm a hard run for it next day. When mornjnewsjili** sato bfctof* «n* OftQff jny bide if ever I want to be agMn.

Next day we started the outfit for home. Potts might have reconsidered his resignation, bat I wouldn't give him a chance. I couldn't stay up there: alone, but It was death to stay with him. We made the journey of 50 miles without a word. When we reached home, I paid blm off and said: great teeth, closed together"wTfKETT* """Pbttsv yow-yotF-yon are an unhnnr ing came, I bad about taken old Potts under my wing again and was secretly glad that I hadn't reached him with my club. As soon as breakfast was dispatched we started out The bear had left tracks as big as a bouse and in going away had beaded along the mountain. We could reasonably hope to hole him up somewhere within a mile, provided he bad satisfied his hunger and got home in the due season. When we finally came to a likely spot I went to the right and Potts to the left to investigate an opening in the rocks. I made a slow advance, realizing that the bear might be in ambush behind any of the~1big bowT" ders, and I was crouching alongside of one, with neck stretched out when there was a whiz and a spat and I was blinded for a moment by particles of stone flung Into my eyes. Potts was carrying a rifle that day. and as its bark followed the spat of the bullet I knew what had happened. While I had my bonds to my eyes I heard him shout at the top of his voice: "Hey. colonel I've got him—got him fur sure!" Half a minute later he stood beside me, prepared to finish off the "game." I think be was really surprised and perhaps considerably disappointed when he found a living man instead of dead grizzly, and he hadn't a word to say. He sat down near me on a rock, apd it was five minutes before I bad my eyes cleared enough to make him out Then 1 brought np my Winchester and'said: < "Potts, I'm going to shoot 16 boles into your jackass carcassl Where do yon want the first one?"

Until the time of Charles Xll of Sweden the artillery was not considered a part of the army. The men serving in It were hot soldiers, but regarded as mechanics.. The officers had no army rank. Charles XII gave artillery officers a rank and regularly organized the artillery into companies. The battle of Pavia demonstrated the superiority of the gun in the hands of the Spanish Infantry. - The musket carried a two ounce ball and sometimes brought down at one fire two or three mailed knights. The French sent a flag of truce to remonstrate against the use of such barbarous weapons. Alexander bad four kinds of cavalry— the cataphrseti, or heavy armed horse; the light cavalry, carrying spears and very light armor; the acrobalistse, or mounted archers, used for outposts, pa* trols and reconnoitering duty, and the dimachoe, or troops expected to act either as cavalry or infantry. Alexander the Great reorganized his father's army. The file or lachos of 10 men was the unit; two files made a dilochy; two dllocnle3 matte a tetntrfhyi^twcr tetrarchies a texiarchy; two of these a syntagura; 16 of these a small phalanx; four of these a tetra-phalangarchy, otherwise known as a large phalanx.

On one occasion a female singer in high esteem at court had been appointed to sing one of Haydn's compositions. At the rehearsal she and the conductor differed as to the time of the music. The matter was to be settled by referring It to Haydn himself. When called on to decide, he asked the conductor if the singer was handsome. "Very," was the reply, "and a special favorite with the prince." "Then she is right," replied Haydn. <Sfr£ Thie ajgnatnro ia on every box of too gonnino MB 1W U VC m UIUU,*JIIUBUtJ Taoiote " thai STATK of MICHIGAN. County of Livingston, S3.

This discourse of Dr. Talmage is appropriate for all seasons, but especial* ly in times of great political agitation. The text is, Daniel vi, 16, "Then the king commanded, and they brought Daniel and cast him into the den of lions." Darius was king of Babylon, and the young man Daniel was so much a favorite with him that ho made him prime minister, or secretary of state. Oberammergau has been casting up 'But no man could gain such a high the accounts of this year's Passion : position without exciting the envy and jealousy of tho people. There were demagogues in Babylon who were so appreciative of their own abilities that they were affronted at the elevation of this young man. Old Babylon was afraid of young Babylon. The taller the cedar the more apt it Is to be riven of the lightning. These demagogues asked, the king to make a decree -that any body that made a petition to anyone except the kins during a period of thirty days should be put to - death. Kins Darius, not suspecting any foul pla^, makes that decree. The demagogues have accomplished all they want, because they know that no one can keep Daniel from tending petitions before G | I for thirty days. So far from', being afraid, Daniel Among the documents in the Forum \ goes on with his' supplications three Flay, There were 48 performances and 200,600 visitors, who paid $300,000 for adimasion. The profits of the village from lodgers, the sale of trinkets, etc., were between $750,000 and $1,000,000. Munich and Bavarian railroads have also profited, the latter showing a surplus of $2,500,000. A monumental statue of the late Cardinal Lavigerie was recently dedicated at Biskra, on tho confines of the Sahara desert. The cardinal is represented standing, his eyes turned towards the desert, holding in his right hand his pastoral cross, which he seems to be planting In that desert land toward which went forth all his aspirations as bishop and colonizer. /lave been- discovered certain writings tending to cast considerable doubt on the generally accepted statement thai Nero set fire to Rome and fiddled as he watched it burn. It now appears from many evidences that the fire was started by the Christians. It is shown by various documents that the Are oitginated close to Nero's own palsce, r„nd that the suburbs inhabited by the poor Christians escaped the conflagration. A stranger called at the police hendquartcra of SalhrarKsn., the other day, according to a Kansas City paper, and related a circumstantial Etory of how he had been robbed of a forty-dollarbill. Every policeman in town was furnished with a description of the alleged thief, and a whole day was spent in looking for him before it dawned upon any of the sleuths tha: there is no such thing as a forty-dollar-* ill. By that time the Joker had disappeared from Salina. One of the many narrow escapes of feeing shot dead in the war occurred •when Colonel Stowe's train was held up by Theron, near Kroonstad, tho other week. Mr. J. E. §hp.rp shared the saloon ftith Colonel Stowe. They were awakened by Theron's Mauser volley at twenty-five yards' range. Mr. Sharp sustained a wound through his foot. But for the mistake of a servant making up the biink_the wrone way about he would undoubtedly have had the bullet through his head. Tlie role of the mosquito in spreading malaria has just been demonstrated quite conclusively in England. Some insects, which had repeatedly ctung men suffering from tertian fever, were sent from Rome to London, and there allowed to sting the son of Dr. Manson, who had never had malaria. The young man so bitten Soon developed a typical attack of tertian fever, and examination of his Wood showed the presence of the germ -peculiar to that variety of malaria. A muddy river betokens one of the greatest of national losses. It means that the rich soil, which Jack Frost and other natural agencies have been ages In forming, is washing away into the ocean. Tillers of the land could do much to prevent rthe loss by keeping the ground on hillsides covered with trees or with sod. It Is the cultivated field on a slant which washes away most rapidly. It is contrary to public policy, or at least to the welfare of the future, that the topsoil of such land should be sent down to the ocean when it might be yielding grass crops. Many rivers that are now muddy were clear Tjefore the com- 'ng to this continent of civilized man. One of the most novel exhibits at the Paris exhibition is the complete set of bed hangings from Madagascar, manufactured from the silk of the halabe. The halabe is an enormous and ferocious female spider, which, although it has a way of eating the males which come near it, and feeding on the weaker members of its own sex, has been most effectually dealt with by M. Nogue, the head of the AntanarlTo Technical school. He has invented a neat arrangement for winding off t h e ' brilliant golden-colored' thread, and each spider yields from :100 to 400 yards of silk, which, although finer than that of the silk- Mrorm, poaa«ss«« remarkable strength. times a day ar.d is found on-his housetop making prayer. Ho is caught in the act. He is ccnder.ircd to be devoured by the lions. Rough executioners of the law seize him rind hasten hLn to the cavern. I hear tho growl of the wild beasts, and I 'see them pawing the dust, and as they put their mouths to the ground th.3 solid earth quakes with their bellov,*- ing. I see their eyes roll, and I almcst hear the fiery eyeballs snsp in the darkness. These monsters approach Daniel. They have an appetite keen with hunger. With one stroke of their paw or one snatch of their teeth they may leave him dead at the bottom of the cavern. But what a strange welcome Daniel receives from these hungry monsters! They fawn around him; they lick his hand; they bury bis feet in their long manes. That night he has calm.sleep with hij head pillowed on the warm necks of the tamed lions. But net so well does Darius, the king, sleep. He has an attack of terrific insomnia. He loves Daniel and hastes thin strategem by which he has been condemned. All night long the king walks the floor. He cannot slaep. At the least sound he starts, and his flesh creeps with horror. He is impatient for the dawning of the morning. At the first streak of the daylight Darius hastens forth to see the fate of Daniel. The heavy palace doors open and clar.g shr.t long b€f< of the city waken. Dirius goes to the den of the lion?. He looks in. All is silent. His heart stops. He feels that the very worst has happened; but, gathering all his strength, he shouts through the rift3 of the rock, "O Daniel is thy God, whom thou servest continually able to deliver, thee?" There comes rolling up f^om the deep darkness a voice which says: "O king, live forever. My God has seuL his angels to shut the lions' mouths that they have c/n hurt me." Then Daniel is brought out from the den. The demagogues are hurled into it, and no sooner have they struck the bottom of the den than their flesh was rent and their bones cracked, and their blood spurted through the rifts in the rock, and as the lions made the rocks tremble with their roar they announce to all ages tbat while Ood will defend his people the wuy cC the ungodly shall perish. Daniel's Gruntost cr?nnne. Lear') from this subject that the greatest crime you can commit in tbe eyes of many is the cri^:-,' of success. What had Daniel done tb;:: he should the rim of their hats. Yon catch a word or tw»rM yow pass by thea* "8tttck up," says one, "Got it disnonesily,* aaya anotXer.

Every item of your success has been to them an Item of discomfiture and dejpair. Just as soon as rn any respect you rise above your fellows, if you are more virtuous, if you are.more wise, if you are more influential, you cast a shadow on the prospects of others. The road to honor and success is within reach of the enemy's' guns. Jealousy says, "Stay down, or I'll knock you dov$n." " I d o not like you," says the snowfl^-G to the snowbird. "Why don't you like mo?" said the snowbird. "Oh," said the snowflake, "you are going up and I am coming down." Youug merchants, young lawyers, young doctors, young mechanics, young artists, young farmers, at certain times there are those to sympathize witn you but now that you are becoming master of your particular occupation or profession, how is it now, young lawyers, young doctors, young artists, young farmers, —how is it now? The greatest crime that you can commit is the crime of success. DeoUUm of CImrjicter. Again,— my subject Impresses me with the value of decision of character In any department. Daniel knew that if he continued his adherence to the religion ci' the Lord he would be hurled to the lions; but, bavins set his compcru well, he sailed right on. For the li-.ck cf that element of decision of character so eminent in Daniel mivny men are ruined for this world and ruincu for the world to come. A great r.\:\:\y at 40 years of age are not setJ:!c:l in any rec.TCvt, because they hav:1 net been able to make up their minus. Perhaps they will go west, pv-rhr.!^ th?y will go east; perhaps they will not; parhaps the;,' will go' north; perhaps vbey may go couth; Id'iupa they will ;::o east; perhaps may iv.;\\io that investment in re-'l e.staLi or in railroads; perhaps they will not. They arc not like a steamer that rhculd go out of New York harbor, starting for Glasgow, and th? next day should change for Havre de Grace, and the next for Charleston, and the next for Boston, and the next for Liverpool. These men on the sea of life everlastingly tacking ship and niaking no headway! Or they are like a mr.n who starts to build a house in the Corinthian style and changes it to Doric, and then completes it in the Ionic, the curse of all styles of architecture. Young man, start right, and keep on. Have decision of character. Character is like the goldfinch of Tonquin. It is magnificent while standing firm, but loses all its beauty in fl'ght. How much decision of chraacter in order that these young men may be Christians! Their old associates make sarca3tio flings at them. They go on excursions, and they do not invite them. They prophesy that he will give out. They wonder if he is not getting wings. As he passes they grimace and wink and chuckle and cay, "There gees a saint." O young man, have decision cf character! Ycu^ be flung to the lions? ;> had become prime minister. They could not forgive him for that, PW\ b-hold in that a touch cf unsanctirkd human nature as seen in all age5 of the world. So long as you are pinched in poverty, JO long as you are running the gantlet between the landlord and taxgatherer, so long as you find It hard work to educate' your children, there are people who will say: "Poor man, I am sorry for him." But after awhile the tide turns in his favor. That was a profitable investment you made. You bought just, at the right time. Fortune becomes go,«l humored and smiles upon you. Now you are in some department successful, and your success chills some one. Th03o men who used to sympathize with you stand along the street and they scowl at you from under the rim of their hats. You have more money or more influence than they have, and' you nusfht to bo acswlcd r.t frc-rn un'tb.* can afford in this mutter of religion to be laughed at. What do you care for tho scoffs of these men, who are affronted because you will not go to ruin with them? When the grave cracks open under their feet, and grim messengers push them into'it, and eternity come3 down hard upon their spVit, and conscience stings, and hopelesu ruin lifts them up to hurl them down, will xhvy laugh then? Christianity fnr Rosy Men. Again I learn from this subject that a man may take religion into his politics. Daniel had all the affairs of state on hand, yet a servant of God. He could not have kept his elevated position unless he had been a thorough politician, and yet all the thrusts of officials and all the danger of disgrace did not make him yield one iota in his high tonoa" religious principle. He stood before that age, he stands before all ages, a specimen of a godly politician. So tnere have been in our day and in the days of our fathers men ?.s eminent in the service of God as they have bean eminent in the service of the state. Such was Benjamin F. Butler, attorney general of New York fn the time of your fathers. Such was John McLean of the supreme court of the United States. <Such was.George Briggs of Massachusetts. v Such was Theodore Frelinghuyaen of New Jersey— men faithful to the state, at the same time faithful to God. It is absurd to expect that men who have been immersed in political wickedness for thirty or forty year^ shall come to reformation, and «>ur hope is In the young mer who are coming up, that they have patriotic principle and Christian principle side by side when they come to the ballot box and cast their first vote and that they swear allegiance to the government of heaven as well as to the government of the United States. We would1 have Bunker Hill mean less t o them than Cavalry, and Lexington mean less to them than Bethlehem, but because there are bad men around the ballot box Is no rwwoa why Cbrifthm men -Ivv;'J :'Cv.-eat frcr.i tha ,v:c...n.

Wo must carry'our religion into our (Miltics. But there are a great many men who are in favor of taking rellfjoa Into national politics, who do not seo the importance of taking it into city politics, as though a'man were intelligent about the welfare of hia neighborhood and had no concern about his own home. My subject also impresses me with the fact that lions cannot hurt a good man. No man ever got into worse company than Daniel got into w&en he wnx thrown into the den. W h a t a rare morsel that fair young man would have been for the hungry monsters! If they had plunged at him he could not have climbed into a niche beyond the reach of their paw or the 'snatch cf their tooth. They came, pleaded, all around about him, as hunteres' hounds at the well known •whistle... .come bounding t o his feet, You need not go to Numi dia to get many lions. You all have them after ycu—the lion of financial distress, tho lion cf sickness, the lion of persecution. You saw that lion of financial panic putting his mouth down to the earth, aud ho roared until all the banks and all the insurance companies quake:!. With his nostril he scattered the ashes on the domestic hearth. You have had trial after trial, misfortune after misfortune, lien after lion, and yet they have never hurt you. The Persians need to think that spring rain falling into sea shells would turn into pearls, and I have to tell ycu that the tears-of sorrow turn into precious gems when they drop into God's bottle. You need be afraid of nothing, putting your trust in God: Even death, that monster lion, whesa den is the world's sepulcher, and who puts his paw down ami'd thousands of j millions of the dead, cannot affright you. When in olden times a man was to get the honors of Knighthood, he was compelled to go fully armed the night before among the tombs of tho dead, carrying a eort of spear, and then when the day broke he would come forth, and, amid the sound of cornet and great parade, he would get the honors of knighthood. And so it will be with the Christian in the night before heaven, as, fully armed with spear and helmet of salvation, he will wait and watch through the darkness until the morning dawns and then he will take the honors of heaven amid that great throng with snowy robes, streaming over sea3 of sapphire. THAWaVAAU WAJt I T S * * * JAMAICA PROGS Only Seven of One Hundred and rifly Survive Sea Voyaro. Tho biological department of the- Johns Hopkins University has a number of interesting specimens of zool- -egy,- some of which will be of vat in the higher research work of the department this year, says the Baltimore Sun. Tbe Rummer vacation Is usually a time for collecting queer creatures and plants for winter investigation, a students' trip to Jamaica last summer being especiaaly productive of such rarities. Dr. Lawrence E. Giffin anC Mr. W. C. Coker left last June for Jamaica. Among otber things they collected 150 bullfrogs. They were unable to stand the voyage to this country, and the seven that survived are now at the university in an emaciated condition. This Jamaica product is not a real bullfrog, but a toad. They were brought to Jamaica from Barbadoes under tho impression that they would kill rats. This was found to be a mistake, and the toad remained and is new quite common. They are of a dark brown color, with a body the size of a large bullfrog, but with short legs like a toad, and are not edible. Like all toads, they are not aquatic. A handsome feature of the Jamaica collection Is a set of fine tortoise shell turtles all beautifully mounted. A crocorlile skeleton was also procured, which will prove an object study for the minor classcu in osteology. The Jamaica crocodile is more vlclou3 than'the Florida variety, living on fish or an occasional native who is unwary. It is also not so sluggish as other varieties, and is peculiar in having no sleeping time.

A dispatch from Bloerafontein, dated Oct. 20, says: The telegraph lines are still interrupted arid mails delayed owing to the Boers derailing a train south of Eden burg. All Boers over 14 years of age, living; outside a radius of 10 miles from Bloemfontein, are being surrounded bj' British troops andJaikcu to that place, to prevent their rejoining the commandoes.

Botha for the surrender of the Boers. Botha received Gen. Paget's flag of truce courteously and admitted his defeat, but said it was impossible to treat for surrender as long us any burghers wished to continue the war. President Steyn was more irreconcilable. He refused to even see the bearer of a flag of truce. Lord Roberts, according to dispatches from Cape Town on the 15th, has taken his sick daughter to Johannesburg, and Lord Kitchener is left in command.

Opera +ytntier A.rrested» Another American woman has been subjected to the ignominy of arrest and detention by the infamous Brigade de3 Moeurs, as that particular division of the Parisian police are designated, which is intrusted with the duty of -putting-into—exe cittion the laws dealing with the women of tho half world. The most recent victim of the Brigade des Moeurs is May Garlick . of Baltimore, wife of the Marquis de Feo. She is now seriously ill from the effects of the brutal and vile treatment to which she was subjected by the police, who, insisting that she was a notorious character, arrested her and kept her for several hours in prison until she was identified. Then she was released -with the usual apologies. May Garlick, prior to her unfortunate marriage, was one of the leading singers of the Castle Square Opera company at the American theater in New York.

Frcat, one of the most distinguished citizens of S t Louis, died suddenly at his home in that city last week. His death was very sudden, for, although the general wa# 77- years old, he had been remarkably healthy and had not complained of any illness. Gen. Frost was a native of New York and a graduate of West Point in the class of 1841. He had fought with distinction in the Mexican war, and the outbreak of the civil war found him in St. Louis a prosperous lumber merchant. He took sides with the confederacy and for. two years served in that cause. The principal Incident in his civil war Career was his defense of Camp Jackson in this city and his surrender in May, 1861, to the federal troops under General Lyon. The state militia had been called together for their annual drill and were encamped under Frost on the outskirts of the town. Before they could find an opportunity actively to express their sympathies with the south they were captured by the home guards and—the Missouri volunteers. After the close of the war General Frost returned to St. Louis and settled on his farm near the city. One of his sons, B. Graham Frost, who died several months ago, represented a Missouri district in congress.

A peculiar interest attaches to the life of Mr. Barnett, for he was one of the young men friends of Abraham Lincoln, -who was a-few months his senior. The squire says that Lincoln and he were often together, and that, although he thought much of Lincoln, he never voted for him but once, and that was when he ran for the legislature against Peter Cartwright. He recalls many pleasant incidents. When he first became acquainted with Lincoln the lat- JOHN L. BARNETT. ter was engaged with William Berry, son of John Berry, in running a grocery. Judson Lyons.

AMD STRONG MOWS With glowing health all things are possible, small annoyances fade into nothingness and real troubles are battled with successfully. Women who are> blessed with perfect health are * constant joy to themselves and all around them. The beauty which health alone can make permanent ** * crown which raises a woman above other women. Such beauty is always accompanied by a sweet disposition, lor anappishneaa is a sure sign of ill-health and leaves its marie quickly on the features. It seems to be the fashion for women to ignore health and sacrifice it to the little every-day trials, or offer it up on the altar of devotion to dairy- tasks.—Their agaixr the nervous organization of women Is constantly attacked by woman's natural experiences, so that it is practically impossible for her to retain the beauty which nature gave her, unless she has discrixmV nating advice and right support. Dr. Greene's Nervura for tho Blood and Nerves* Trials and troubles are easily overcome by the women whose strength is the genuine strength of perfect health. Dr. Greene's Nervura blood and nerve remedy, bridges the chasm that separates the sickly woman from happiness. It fills her veins with blood that is pure and clean. Mns. \VM. E. BOSSE, of 85 Farrington S t , Flushing1, L. I., says : " In regard to myself, I have suffered for years with disease, having bsen troubled with great nervousness, fem&lo complaints, indigestion-, aivi EiaX. weakness and prostration. I did not ve strength to do much of anything. Knowing the great value of health and strength— I consulted doctors and took many medi ernes, but th*y all failed to cure me, and I grew \vo:*si rather than better. I happened to see in the papers bow muen good Dr. Greenes Nervura blood and nerve remedy, was doing in restoring to health everybody who took it, and I thought I would try a bottle. I used ^ it and to my surprise I began to gain strength avory day. I am so thankfnl that I tried it! It ic certainly the most excellent tonic and strength giver. I recommend it very highly and v»i»h that other people who are troubled in any way would take warning and use it" TO PRESERVE WOMANLY BEAUTY At all tho stages of a woman's life Dr. Greene's Nervura blood and nerve remedy, is shown to be efficient to ward off the results of nervousness, or over*- work, or impure blood. From early girlhood to advanced years, this worldrenowned medicine builds up the forces destroyed by disease, grief, or overexertion, and the effects of this great medicine arc quickly felt and permanently retained. Lst women guard well their health, and consult Dr. Greene freely. Nothing they can possibly do will so surely keep them strong and well, or repair the exhaustion from acute illness, nothing will work so continually to the preservation of beauty as the great health-giving Nervura.

When tke Yo«»* Woman Tfcoaxht It WM Gold, Sae Got Nervosa. The oar had just rounded "dead man's curve" at Fourteenth street, when a daintily clad youug woman swished something out of her hand which as it struck the street was followed by a sharp metallic sound. "What was that you threw away, my dear?" asked her companion, another girl about the same age. "Money," laconically responded the thrower. **Moneyr continued heir companion -tn a horrified tone ofr-votce. "Why, it sounded like gold." "My gracious!" shrieked the thrower. "Have I thrown away one of those goldpleces?" By this time several of the passengers had arisen from their seats and were looking in an indignant way at the conductor for not stopping the car. He, however, was one of those high collared, stoical young men who boss things on the Broadway cars, and the excitement created by the money thrower did not cause him to turn a hair. AH this time the car was bowltog as merrily along as Broadway cars ever do bowl, and it was getting farther auoTffrfher away~from the money. One or two of the passengers were about to jump off the car, but then they thought better of it and turned their gaze anxiously on the young woman, who was hunting frantically through her purse. Just as it seemed the strain would be too much for the excited passengers to bear longer the fair thrower looked up smilingly at her companion and murmured sweetly: "It's all right, my dear. It wasn't a goldpiece after all." "What was it, then?' asked the second young woman. "Only a crooked penny," replied the thrower.- "I always throw away crooked pennies for luck." Then both girls softly giggled, while the other passengers, looking both foolish and disgusted, resumed their seats. —New York Tribune.

As indicating the populace, proverbially fickle and easy to be moved (mobile, from Latin mobillis), the expression "the mobile people" is as old as the time of Chaucer, but in its later sense, that of the disorderly crowd, and In its contracted form, "mob," it is not older than the postrestoration period. In Roger North's Examen, 1740, reference is made to the Green Ribbon clnb, 1680-2, and the writer adds: "I may note that the rabble first changed their title and were called the mob in the assemblies of this c l u b - first mobile vulgus, then contracted in one syllable." It was need hesitatingly at first by Dryden ("Don Sebastian," 1690), Durfy ("Commonwealth of Women," 1GS8) and Snadwell (''Squire of Alsatia," 1688), and Richardson points out that Dryden uses both "mobile" and "mob" in the sense of rabble, the former in the stage directions as the common word, the latter as if it had not long been Introduced. In 1711 The Spectator Instances '*mob" as an example of the popular tendency to curtail many of our words In familiar writings and conversation. The verb "to mob," derived of course aa above, does not occur until the period of Horace Walpole. many years later, and Shakespeare's expression, "the mobled queen" ("Hamlet"), refers not to the "mob" (mobile), but to the headdress in disorder.—Boston Transcript. W o « l i C e a e Aayhow, The Rev. Father Staunton of the well known Church of St Alban, Holborn, Is a humorist in his way and often tells with inimitable effect a droll story \n the coarse of his sermon which sends through the congregation a gentle ripple of merriment On, Sunday he satirised the ambition of certain people to use words of which they did not know the meaning. Many of them were fond of sticking the letters "D. V." in an sorts of pieces Instead of using the plain, homer/ English pnimat "God willing." Be knew one gentlenan, rather snaky In his Latin, who In a letter to a friend wrote "I wffl he with yon ^Tv: en Mimrtay. hut anrway on TMfday."~Londo* TsisgrsglV 159 132 500 5!>1 345 154 121* away and ths^ swung on 16 the train that bad been waiting 30 mlim**s for lunch and was gone. "When'the day man relieved me the next morning, 1 put for the hotel and found it after tramping about for two hoars and made arrangements to stay there. The proprietor's wife Jieemed to take a mother)? interest in me, and that afternoon when I started for work she had a bang up lunch of fried chicken and Jam and things. "Well, that night about H o'clock 1 got hungry fur that olilokeu and hauled out my lunch basket I had just get things nicely spread out on the Instrument table when In come a fat englneer. '"'Hello, kid!' said be. That's toe good a feed for you. If 11 give yon bellyache, sure's the world/ ^"Wh^reupon he put me on a Ijenctc: sat on my legs and ate my supper. Then be got up, sucking his teeth, an* said: " 'See them woods over thereT pointing across the track. There wasnt anythinff else In Right. 'Well, them woods is 40 miles long an 15 miles wide an chuck full o* berries. Go'n eat y»useif t* death.' "He walked leisurely out to his engine, and I went to the lunch shanty just below the station and ate up two days' salary before I discovered how determined the keeper was to have plenty of money to support bis.old age. "The next day I didn't go to the ho-' tel, but staid near the station and ma-! Plotted revenge. It was the custom to telegraph up from Wilcox the number , of passengers who wanted meals at the A4tbottffb James (xreene wasde-^--Kihe- iunch shanty, and when I got the first message that night after vainly scheming all day an idea struck me. The message read, 'Six suppers on 27.' I made it read 2G and carried it to the lunch keeper, who fairly danced with glee at the unexpected rush. He undoubtedly saw a Fifth avenue mansion for his old age. Just as 27 pulled tn I rushed Into the shanty with a message purporting to have come from Wilcox saying that at the last moment 20 passengers had decided to stay there overnight to take part in a local political celebration. Flynn was furious and went to the conductor for corroboration. The latter heard with a grin the story of the 26 prepared suppers and, remembering his own experiences with Flynn's prices on two or three occasions, simply shrugged his shoulders and said: " 'How c'n I help ItT "Well, the loss of sleep that day and the excitement did me up, and about 11 o'clock I found I couldn't keep my eyes open. I took the red lantern and nailed the tin bottom to a tie in the middle of the track and went to the edge of the woods and lay down. When I awoke, the day operator, who had been dragged out of bed two hours ahead of time, was getting the Philadelphia and Brie railroad system into operation again after a six hour suspension of service. "But there wasn't any smash up, and no lives had been lost, and I got a Job two days afterward at HtusvUle^— • » • • • " • : • • . . • . • *-' ; ' . . •',» • , ' .

HI8 SCHEME WAS SIMPLE AND THOROUGHLY EFFECTIVE. A Safe Plan, Not Pateated, That May Be Fallowed by Railroad Telegraph Operator* Who Mast Go t o Sleep While o a Daty. "However tired or overworked he may be the railroad operator who allows trains to smash into each other while he pounds his ear is a brainless idiot" said William James, an old timer. "When I was a youngster I was in charge of a station down in Pennsylvania. I went to sleep on duty because I couldn't keep awake. Trains met there every hour or so, and I was the only person to run the business at that point I went to sleep and slept six hours, and there wasn't any smash up or the slightest possibility of one so far as my station was concerned. "I was 15 years old when I applied for a job to Superintendent Pltcairn of the Philadelphia and Erie. He took me on immediately and sent me out to Kane. That was the place where Dr. Kane, the Arctic explorer, once lived, and It was named for him. Kane Is on top of a mountain, with Wilcox at the bottom on one side and Wetmore on the other. Oil is the great product there now, but in 1866 the traffic was In general freight. Big trains met at Kane, and for a small place the traffic was considerable. "I was met at the station by a big, wild eyed man, who said that he guessed I was the kid that was going to relieve him. He said he was glad to get out but he giTPRSPd I'd like the work. '"You'll have the night trick,' said he, 'and you'U only have to be here from 6 p. m. to 7 a. m/ "I looked up with dismay, but he was striding ahead Into the station.

Harvey puffed with evident enjoyment for a time, chatting of trifles. Then he said quits easily, "By the way, what is this little misunderstanding between you and Nell? She is much disturbed by it, though I assured her she is over sensitive." The smile left Gladys' face. "Oh! Then you camo here because Helen sent you?" she asked. "Well, not exactly; I knew a ward from me would set matters straight, so I thought I'd better come. Where are you going?" "Only to an easy chair; this ottoman isn't comfortable." There were tears in heraeyes but Harvey did not see them. "If we are to have a consultation, I may as well sit at my ease."

Nell's a first rate busine33 woman, and I don't believe you realize how much money is spent in the house." "You have your full share of all that comes into it, Harvey." " Why, of course," he responded, with a half wondering look, as if surprised at the reminder. "What is yours is also mine in a sense; we enjoy a common inheritance. It is because our interests are identical that Helen and I wi3h to protect them. You surely see that, little woman? It would ple^ss the dear girl vary much if you'd take her Into ycur confidences-treat her more like a daughter in truth a3 she is in spirit." Gladys did not answer for a few moments; she moved her chair so that her face was partly in shadow, while she could note every expression of his. "Before we talk any further," she presently said, "I should like to know just what it is Helen desires. I comprehend that she wishes to reduce the general expenses of the establishment; but how? Does she want to take Phebe's place?" "Hardly that," returned Harvey, -flushing, "She thinks, however, now she is here, you no longer need the services of a housekeeper." "And do'you think I ought to turn out an old and faithful servant after a lifetime of devotion to me and mine?" . "Certainly not; she would remain as your maid." "So that is it!" exclaimed Gladys, with a half laush. "I thought some great idea was agitating Helen's mind. Dear, clumsy Tomlinson my maid! Apd I suppose there are other servants she thinks might be dispensed with. Well, perhaps they could; but I like (to have plenty of people about the place"—her voice grew firmer here— "and I intend to have them.

Gladys was very pale, and «hivered once or twice as she talked. • But Harvey felt no compassion for her; bis sympathy was for himself. He remembered that Mrs. Atherton had never talked of hts father, and answered his childish inquiries concerning him vaguely, diverting his thought! to other subjects; but he had not dreamed of this, and the knowledge was bitter. "This man, your husband, is he living?" "No; he died in prison a year ago." "In prison!" Harvey drew a sobbing breath. "My God, what an end to my boyish dreams! But I don't understand even yet. If he spent all your money, how does it happen that you are still rich?" "When papa died I had my full share of the estate," she answered after a scarcely perceptible pause. "It was then Phebe and I came here." "And my grandfather left me nothing?" "Nothing. He hated you, poor little orphan that you were, because you were your father's child. That is why I devoted my life to you, dear." There was infinite tenderness in Gladys' tone, but Harvey hurt and humiliated by what he* haa learned, was not moved by it. "That was the least you could do.*1 he said coldly," since it is to you 1 am indebted for my heritage of shame. We little know what people really are, do we?

For sale by P. A. 8ig)er, Pinckney. Of all tbe devilish, cold blooded things done by men you will have read of few to equal what took place aboard of the Spanish merchantman, the Santa Maria, in the year 18C2. It was published in the papers at the time, but only a partial account and as we had war and excitement at borne the Incident was soon forgotten. One of tbe oldest business houses in Mexico up to tbe date above named was that of the Spanish house of Galera &*Co., founded 75 years previously. The business of this house was banking, mining, merchandising and cattle raising. It had a dozen branches In Mexico, and it had dealings with half a dozen countries. In a financial sense it was stronger than the government, and its yearly profits footed up an enormous sum. A son of the founder had succeeded to the management, and when old age came he turned the active work oyer to a cousin named Alvarez. The new manager was a young man of 25, born In Spain of a fine family, and bad been educated for the priesthood. He was a man without a vice. Such was his probity that he was called "Holy Alvarez" even In his youth. At an enormous salary and with autocratic powers young Alvarez took over the management of affairs la Mexico, and almost as soon as he stepped foot on North American soil a i change took place in his character. He began to drink, gamble and play fast and loose. At about that time a noted French adventuress appeared at the Mexican capital, aid Alvarez speedily became her favorite. Of course there was gossip about the new manager, and there were those, who predicted that his extravagances would ultimately bring ruin to the old house, but there were no official complaints. He knew little or nothing of business, but he did know how to spend money royally, and In a year he had people guessing bow much longer it would take him to bankrupt the house. It was after tbe balance sheets bad proved to him that he was spending more than the profits of the house and was a debtor to an enormous amount that be set about preparing a grand coup. Tbe Spanish merchantman was loaded with a consignment of gold, silver, copper, furs and dyestuffs for Spain and the cargo Insured to the last cent Alvarez took Into his confidence a young man named Prado, and when the Santa Maria sailed his confederate went with her as supercargo. The ship was manned by a crew of 14 men, all Spaniards. Thirty days after her sailing to the southward tbe American bark Homeward left the port of Valparaiso homeward bound. We had been out three days when we ran into a dead calm, with the weather so terribly hot that the deck planks smoked in the sun. As we lay heaving on the ground swell a small boat drifted Into view. It seemed to be empty, and It had been in sight for two hours and was not over half a mile away when the captain decided to pick it up. A boat was sent off, and when she returned with tbe stranger we had a sad spectacle under our eyes. There was a dead man lying at full length under the thwarts. «vn? a-tcjtfaw Wgg*»» *utp uu»t an «ttu rUi»p^. off her mid »*a» Uriv4ng away bvoiiUKldf to* wiu/l and, see* . It-wan. plain thjij ^ e had spiting a ^aft, but she was by no menns waterlogged* \\> ran down and hailed bftv and, getting no answer, the mate was seat to board her. I was one of the crew of bis boat arid the sight we saw as wo climbed over the rail was one never to be forgotten. Five men lay dead on the decks, and the corpses were in a far worse state than the one In the boat. Too could telt ar a glance that the head men were Spaniards, and yet their hands and faces were as black aa your shoe, and the bodies bad ehruak and shriveled until they were of tbe size and weight of a boy. la the forecastle and cabin we found vtxiviv ' ujjuuyu t v unuur U|r <• sevw vw 14. There were 14 dead men and not a, living thing aboard of the Santa Maria. On the cabin table there were, tbe remains of breakfast, and in the fore* castle were the kids with, food still is them. Whatever had occurred was in conjunction with the morning meaL Aa there was no fever smell aboard the derelict our captain , came over to try-hie band ^t-se4v4nr the mystery. The ship's papers and log were soon found. We got her manifest and port and date of sailing, and the last entry on the log had been made five days before. At that time all was well. The bodies in cabin and forecastle were of course in a better state of preservation, and after an inspection the? captain gave it as his opinion that the entire crew had been poisoned. The attitude of each and"every man went to prove it Their eyes were open and rolled back, their fingers clutched and their knees drawn up. That derelict was a great find for us. Her manifest showed-ar-efcrgo valued at over $2,000,000, and the ship was all right above deck. As to the water in her hold, we manned the pumps and had it out to the last pint In two hours. Then we made an investigation to find the leak, and we soon discovered that a single auger hole had been bored in her bottom. The orifice had become more or less clogged with seaweed, and it would have taken another three or four days to have filled the ship. We argued that the man In the boat must have come from the-ship. As he had got away alone and bad provisioned the boat, It must have been after the others were dead. He \t was, then, who had brought about tbe wholesale death of the crew, and he must have had a strong motive. That motive was discovered when some of the boxes of treasure were hoisted out of the lazarette and broken open. Aside from one or two boxes, the whole treasure business was a fake. Lead had been substituted for silver and gold. The furs were a cheat and a fraud, and the value of the dyestuffs was not one-quarter of the sum they were Insured for. A second and closer search of the stateroom evidently occupied by the supercargo gave us the key to unlock the whole mystery. He had left behind him a letter of instruction signed by Alvarez at the City of Mexico, and from that we learned that the name of the dead man was Prado. That letter, written In Spanish, was of no old to us except as far as the two names went, but later on. when translated Into English, its contents-were of a nature to make a man turn pale. The instructions were to do Just what had been done. After the Santa Maria had reached a certain position be was to poison the crew with a certain drug prepared and then scuttle the ship and take his leave In a small boat It was doubtless figured that if not picked up he could easily reach the coast of Chile; but as I have told you, we found him dead in bis boat How his death came about I cannot say, as he had food and water and had not encountered any bad weather. I have always believed, however, that in his remorse for the awful deed he had done, coupled with the terrors of his lonely situation, he deliberately drank of the poison which had laid the others low. It was before the crew became too ill to move about that sail was taken off and she,was made snug against tbe weather. With the auger hole plugged and a part of our crew on board the Santa Maria, we laid our course for the port of Valdivla, and in due time both craft arrived there in good shape. The dead had been given burial, of course, but there was no lack of other proofs. As soon as the plot was unraveled steps were taken for the arrest of Alvarez in Mexico, and our claim for salvage was also filed. Gov- - £ ,w SPP ^ tth.

It was sickness of some sort that had brought his end, and the hot sun had baked and shriveled hia body until the sight was not .one to look at. twice. As there was no evidence that a second person had occupied the boat we inclined to the belief that a mutinous crew had sent their captain adrift There were some who thought he' might have been blown oft the. coast and yet in that ease it did not] nun by committing suicide, seem as if the craft would have been later the crew of the Homeward got a stocked with food and water aa eh* We gav« the corpse burial aud.boistr. the puzale was solved. We had caught a breeze and made a ran of a hundred mlN The* we slt*t^ a.derelict Jtoe matters. It was months before they got ready to arrest the man who had plotted this sea tragedy. He had meanwhile continued his career of dissipation and extravagance, depending upon his Insurance money to make everything good- News got to him somehow from Valdivla .of the derelict being towed in, and he left JUexlco and hid away In Bolivia. There he waa at lift found, but he cheated the bangstead of one the ship would have I n f l o w * Before*being overhauled, and Uv, that case we could have made nothing over finding hie corpse In the boat* The fact would have been en* tered on the tog and reported, but would have mused no comment oufe fide of marine electee.

It 1B a curious fact that -many insetM women are possessed with an insatia ble vanity and a mania for "make up/ says the London Express. Sometime* the only way -to keep tbe peace wltt such patients is to allow them a cer tain freedom in the use of cosmetics. A wave of unmanageableness ofter passes over the woman's side of an asylum if the material of a new uniform dress deserves the title of dowdy. Monj insane women will tear—a—sombeibrown gown to shreds, but if It is a pretty blue or a smart red they preserve it carefully against spots and dust The effect that dress has on the insane is so well known that the lunacj commissioners make special comment! in their official reports to the lord chon cellor on the colors and material of the gowns supplied to women in the varl ous asylums. • Very ejever devices to obtain cosmet ics are resorted to by patients infectec with the mania of vanity who hav€ been accustomed to artificial aids to beauty. They soak paper roses in wa ter and use the tinted result as a cheek reddener, or they put the red covers oi books borrowed from the asylum library In a basin of boiling water and bottle the carmine fluid for future fac« use. Fresh flowers of reddish tinge arc crushed and used on faded cheeks an<5 wrinkled skins. One former society beauty, now in an asylum, is perfectly tractable so long as she is allowed to wear a curly false fringe and to use a modified amount of rouge and powder. If these are taken away, she becomes suicidal and re fuses to eat. Another notable example Is that of an old woman with gray hair who becomes homicidal when she is deprived of a beautiful golden wig suited to a girl of 17. The experiment was tried once, but so much violence resulted that the commissioners recommended that she should be allowed to retain her headdress. Rpfora urimUalnn tf> thp asylum she had poisoned three persons. But the wig and plenty of pink powder keep her peaceable and contented. * The friends of patients who find their happiness in personal decoration bring tbem small packets of cosmetics, or rather they smuggle them In, for such artieles are contraband and against the rules. Though their minds are gone, the patients are clever enough to make little holes in their mattresses and to Invent most cunning hiding places for their treasures. In those cases where restriction of toilet appliances increases Insane outbreaks, tbe attendants let these little beauty stores pass by unnoticed. So long as the make up is not too evident the attendants do not interfere. Strictly speaking, curl papers are not allowed in asylums. Aa a matter of fact their use Is overlooked. Curled fringes and wavy locks often make all the difference between peace and rebellion. The Ingenuity displayed by feeble minds in turning everyday articles to facial use is often surprising. Brick dust scraped from the asylum walls, and powdered hearthstone have frequently figured on faces in lieu of rouge and powder. A spoonful of red currant jam provided a week's roses for pale cheeks. Indelible pencil coal dust and blacklend make a dark stain for colorless eyelashes and outline deficient or white eyebrows. A handful of flour lx»jcgrd from the kitchen Is an excellent substitute for tollft powder, while sroy rtr faded hair 1« aonjetimea tinted with a Mtrong decvTtioii of ten leaves. A tendency to tl^ht Ian* to such tiny prb|M>itions as t . interfe-v with sanity nnd bodily l.c.ilih is 4inot her foible of the woman with r»n(ji:iL'eil mind.

They have the right to fish in it or (rive that right to others. This is a question which many will be glad to have settled. porno^e./ The creature swam Into the net and waa not able to get out Being a rnammnl. or warm blooded animal It Is compelled to rjee for the purpose of "breathing, which tt does tbrougb Its blowhole Just behind the neck. But baa entangled In a net ft 1$ unable to rlae to the surface and la drowned in tta own element. The bnge carcase, often weighing from 200 to 400 pounds, la dreaaed by the fishermen and pot Into the tank and brought to the market where It la kept In the refrigerating tank until Friday morning, when It is sold to Italians by auction. The successful bidder alway a auDoiviQca iiio BOOS MVS tLWf^r half for himself, and the rest Is snared out among truck peddlers of Mulberry street where the Italians congregate. Then there is joy in Little Italy. The news Is spread all over the colony, women going to'their friends to tell the tidings. Very early In the morning a crowd, gathers round the store of the padrone, who has the half porpoise .displayed in all its hugeness upon a slab of wood. Fins, head, tall and insldea l a d been removed by the fishing foil, and there is nothing save the solid •meat and the great backbone. The color is a deep red. except the belly streaks, which are lighter and are streaked with fat and resemble pork very closely indeed. This is the meaning of the name, for porpoise is a corruption of the old London Latin, porc-plsce. In Roman Latin this would have been porcus plscis. The men of the north call these animals sea swine, and this Is preserved in the French marsouln, which they undoubtedly learned from the Nor* mans. The Italian padrone begins business about 7 o'clock In the morning. His price is 4 cents a pound for all quantities, large or small. His scales are above bis bead. His customers surround , him in an anxious ring, each provided with wrapping paper. Hi? watchful and affectionate family take the money and bring from time to time a freshly sharpened knife. The padrone first cuts off a chunk of about 40 pounds and then proceeds rapidly to subdivide it according to the want* of the buyers. Slice after slice of the deep flesh falls before his knife and passes lnto^ the.paper of the customers. Th* A V i l l a g e B l s t c k t m l t h Snved file U l - tleSfeerti L,ifet Mr. H. FT. Black, the well-known village blacksmith at Grabamsville, Sullivan Co., N. Y.,f»ays: "Our little ^im,fiveyears old,'has always been ter there is no odor arising from tU*» Immense mass of flash at wtnVb tu*» padrone tolls. In fact, there cap be no doubt that the meat of the poruo'*»* is flesh and uot n»h. And it may IMadded that this meat la whoJesonii* s iwT very savory when properly cooked. The porpoise Is not subject to iu*> many diseases to which land swin^'are liable, and that the flesh is savory Is certain from the affection tbe Italians have for It Even tbe Sicilians admit cheerfully that tt is as good as the swordfisb cutlet which is the great delicacy of Messina. And Itallane from other parta believe Tt to M ft*- finitely better. Porpoise was Indeed once a royal dainty and was served at all state banquets. Sometimes it was boiled In vinegar or thin white wine—about the same thing—and sometimes great slices were covered with paste and baked and eaten with a sauce of prunes and spice.—New York Son. *fm> " '*•••••> ' i t f e / i J lltiMNMMSfcl ' " • W We the undersigns*; do e e r e ^ t ; agree to refund tbe mousy on a 4sf* oent,^oUla of Down'.

Representative Loudenslager of New Jersey, secretary of the Republican congressional committee, claims the election of 204 Republicans to the next house, a majority over all of 51. The Republican majority in the present house is 12. Chairman Richardson, of the Democratic congressional committee, conceded that the next house would bo safetyRepio1>licanTl>uTUc''i^WfdrZo~e»r timate the majority. Massachusetts furnished one o f the surprising features of the balloting— surprising to both parties. While the Democrats, before election, claimed nearly everything, they seemed to have overlooked the old Bay state. They said nothing about materially cutting down the majority in this Republican stronghold, and Republicans evidently Had little /car that Bryan would dcvelope much strength in the state. The returns indicate that Bryan has carried Boston by 0,000 and cut down McKioIey's plm..* ity in the state from ll72,000 in 3800 to 50,000. The returns indicate that Bryan bailed to carry 0, single—state i n the middle west, except Missouri. In_lllU Bankruptcy proceedings are ofte* prolific in enmities.

CRIMINAL VIRTUE. (Spain's Queer l+\r Prsrerite JReseno o l Royalty from Peril. There is a Spanish law that no sub- '_ je>f ahall tniifh thA porann nt the, klpg or queen. Alfonso XIII., king ol Spain, nearly suffered a severe fall from this rule in his childhood. An aunt gave him a swing* When he used it for the first time the motion frightened him, and he began to cry, whereupon a lackey lifted him quietly out of it, and so, no doubt, prevented him from falling. The breach of etiquette, however, was flagrant and dreadful. The queen was obliged to punish it by dismissing the man from his post. At the same time she showed her real feelings on the subject by appointing him immediately to another and better place in the royal household. In another case a queen oi Spain nearly lost her life in a dreadful way owing to this peculiar rule. She had been thrown when out riding, and, her foot catching in the stirrup, she was dragged. Her escort would nol risk interference, and she would have been dashed to pieces but for .the heroic interposition of a young man. who shopped the horse and released her from her dangerous position. Ai soon as they saw she was safe, hw escort turned to arrest the traitor whe had dared to touch the queen's foot. HELPED THE CHIEF, Dow » J~oyal Xnrlneor Did HI* Urotber Groat Sorvic*. Metvdville, Pa., Nov. 12.—(Special)— The Loyalty of the Members of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers ; te proverbial, A circumstance occur-} red in this city some days ago, which \ emphasizes this feeling. ' Frank J. Zeller, Is Chief of* the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers No. 143.—Ho is —extremely—popular among his fellow railway men, and: one of the best known Engineers run4 nlng out of Meadville. When the an-j nouncement was made a short time) ago that Frank was pretty sick, its caused a great deal of regret among' the boys. Soon he was missed from his engine, having had to "lay off j on account of his back. A brother or the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engl neeTS, who had been ill with similar symptoms, some time before, and who had been pulled through, called to see; Mr. Zeller, and in a brotherly way^ took with him a box of Dodd's Kidney; Pills, the Remedy which had cured him. He advised Mr. Zeller to try, tharn with th? H"w1t that after seven - boxes had been used, be was entirely] well, and able to work. ;, In an Interview Mr. Zeller states: . "I had suffered for four years witli this affliction, being often kept awake at night with pains, and at times unable to work. I tried several of the' advertised remedies, and found that they did me no earthly good. Finally, a member of our Order, who had beer; cured of Kidney Disease by Dodd's, Kidney Pills brought me a box, and asked me to try them. I had little; faith in them, but as a drowning mangrasps at a straw to help him. so L' took the Pills. I used seven boxes,' and am today as we}l and strong a' man as there is in Pennsylvania." Naturally, Mr. Zeller fcelB very grateful, and his complete recovery has delighted his many friends, and none more than the good Brother, who feels that he was instrumental In saving ^heUfeof the Chief. Dodd's Kidney Pills never falTTocure Kidney Trouble. Sold for 50 cents a box. All dealers. The clothing of a growing boy refuses to grow with him.

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 thoughtless girl into the thoughtful woman should find the mother on the watch day and nio;ht. J>s she cares for the physical well-being of her daughter, so will the woman be. and her children also. When the young girl's thoughts become aluggish, when she experiences headaches, dizziness, faintness, 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 promptlv. At such a time the greatest aid to nature is Lydia Is. Finkham's Vegetable Compound. It prepares the young system for the coming change, and is the surest reliance in this hour of trial. The following letters from Miss Good are practical proof of Mrs. Pinkhanrs efficient advice to young women, — - Miss-OoudasksMrov Pinkham for Holrx June 12tb, 1890. "DXAR MBS.

In some grottoes in Algeria French explorers have recently discovered stone implements mingled with the remains of extinct animals belonging to Quaternary times. Further explorations indicate that during the age when grottoes were inhabited the coast of Algeria had a configuration different from that of today. Among the animals associated with the ancient human inhabitants of Algeria were the rhinoceros, the hippopotamus, and various species of ruminants. "The Bright Side of Humanity." n new book by Dr. Edward Leigh Pell, is said to b}3 the first serious attempt that has ever been made to present tho characteristic noble traits of all races. In the preparation of his book Dr. Pell examined one thousand works of travel and although all of them sst forth-, with considerable detail the vices and disagreeable traits of the people which they profess to describe, cuiy two hundred dwelt at any length on their virtues. To supply the compensatory high lights in these dark pictures was a happy thought and must have been a pleasant task. a Little has been said, and probably as . little thought, of the beneficent work done by the railroads in aiding and promoting the measures set on foot for the relief of stricken Galveston. Thousands of refugees from that city received free transportation to any part of the country, and immense quantities of supplies were rushed forward without charge". This ready re-. sponse to the cry of human needs characterized all the great railway systems of the country, the express^ telegraph, and telephone companias. The cash value of the services thue rendered is as impossible to estimate as tho amount of human suffering and misery they helped to alleviate. One of the most peculiar suit3 at law ever brought before any court is soon to toe tried in Van Buren county, Michigan, between two neighbors and old friends. One of the men, H. D.

(Copyright* W00, Louis Klopech. N. T.) In this discourse Dr. Talmage follows Joshua on his triumphal march and speaks encouraging words to all who .are engaged. In the battle J?£_tSJi.. life; text, Joshua 1, 5, "There ahalfnot any man be able to stand before thee all the days of thy life." Moses was dead. A beautiful tradition says the Lord kissed him and in that act drew forth the soul of the dying lawgiver. He had been buried, only one'person at the funeral, the same one who kissed him. But Ood never takes a man away from any place of usefulness until he has some one ready to replace him. The Lord does not go looking around amid a great variety of candidates i o find some one especially fitted for the vacated position. He makes a man for that place. Moses has passed off the stage, and. Joshua, the hero, puts his foot on the platform of history so solidly that all the ages echo with the tread. He wa3 a magnificent fighter, but he always fought on the right side, and he never fought unless God told him to fight. He got his military equipment from God, who gave him the promise at ths start, "There shall not any man be able to-stand before thee-all the days of thy life." God fulfilled this promise, although Joshua's first battle was with the spring freshet, the next with a stone wall, the next leading on a regiment of whipped cowards and the next battling against darkness, wheeling the sun and the moon into hi3 battalion, and the last against the king of terrors, death—five groat victories. No Goinjr Backward. As the hand of the Lord God is taken away from the thus uplifted waters— waters perhaps unlifted half a mile—they rush down, and some of the unbelieving Israelites say: "Alas, alas, what a misfortune! Why could not those waters have staid parted? Because perhaps we may want to go back. O Lord, we are engaged in a risky business. Those Canaanites may eat us up. How if we want to go back? Would it not have been a more complete miracle if the Lord had parted the waters to let us come through and kept them...parted to let us go back if we are defeated?" My friends, God makes no provision for a Christian retreat. He clears the path all the way to Canaan. To go back is to die. The same gatekeepers that swung back the amethystine and crystalline gate of the Jordan to let Israel pass through now swung shut the amethystine and crystalline gate of the Jordan to keep the Israelites from going back. Victory ahead, but water 30 feet deep behind, surging to death and darkness and woe. But you say, "Why did not these Canaanite3, when they had such a splendid chance. standing ou the top of the bank 30 or 40 f;et high, completely demolish those poor Israelites down in the river?" I will tell you why. God had made a promise, and ho was going to keep it. "There shall not any man be able to stanJ before thee all the days of thy life." But this is no place for the host to Etop. Jcshua gives the command, "Forward, march!" In the distance there is a long groyo of trees, and at the end of the grove Is a city. It is a city with arbors, a city with walls seeming to reach to the heavens, to buttress the very sky. It is the great metropolis that commando the mountain pass. It is Jericho. That city was afterward captured by Pompey and ones by Herod th« Great and once again by the Mohammedans, but this campaign the Lord plans. There shall be no swords, no sbirkX no battering ram. There shall be only one weapon of war and that a rain's horn. Tho horn of the slain ram was sometimes taken, and holes were punctured in it, and then the musician would put the instrument to his lips, and he would run his fingers ovev this rudemusical instrument and r.'rilte. a great deal of sweet harmony for the people. That was the only kind of weapon. Seven priests were to take t'c33 ruda, rustic musical instruments, and they were to go around the city eveTy day for six days—one a day for six days— and then one the seventh day they were to go around blowing these rude musical instruments seven times, ami then at the close of the seventh blowing of the ram's horns on the seventh day the peroration of the whole scene was to be a shout, at which those great walls should tumble from capstone to base. Victory poHom rfefoat. The seren priests with the rude musical Instruments pass all around the city wall* on the first day and score a failure. No so much «*'< a piece of plaster broke loose from the wall, not so much as a loosened rock, not *0* much t* ^ piece or mortar log? from far place.- "There* cay the unbelieving Israelites, "did I not tell you »0? Why, those ululate* are foaU, The idea of going around the city with those musical Instrument* and expect* log in that way to deatroy i t Joshua/ has been spoil*! ' He thinks because he has overthrown and conquered the spring freshet he can overthrow the stone wall. Why, it is not philosophic. Do you s o t see there is no relation between the blowing of these musical instruments and the knocking down of the wall? It is not philosophic." And I suppose there were many wiseacres who stood with their brows knitted and with the forefinger of the right hand to the forefinger of the left hand arguing It all out and showing that it was not possible that such a cause could produce such an effect And I suppose that night in tho encampment there was plenty of caricature, and if Joshua had been nominated for any high military position he would not have received many votes. Joshua's stock waB down. The second day the priests blowing the musical instruments go around the city and again a failure. The third day and a failure, tho fourth day and a failure, fifth day and a failure, sixth day and a failure. The seventh day comes, the climacteric day. Joshua is up early in the morning and examines the troops, whiles all about, looks at the city wall. The priests start to make the circuit of the city. They go all around ono, all around twice, threa times, four times, five times, six timo3, seven time3, and a failure. There is only one more thing to do, and that Is to utter a great shout. I see the IsraeHtish - army straightening themselves up, filling their lungs for a vociferation such as never was heard before and never heard after. Joshua feels that the hour has come, and he cries out to his host, "Shout, for the Lord hath given you the city." All together the troops shout: "Down, Jericho! Down Jericho!" And the long line of solid masonry begins to quiver and to move and to rock. Stand from under! She falls! Crash go the wal s and temples, the towers, the palace3, the air blackened with tho dust. The huzza of the victorious Israelites and the groan of the conquered Canaanltss commingle, and Joshua, standing there in the debris of the walls/ hears a voice saying, "There shall not any man be able to stand before thee all the days of thy life." , Tim Savior'* Deliverance. Only one house spared. Who live3 there? Some great king? Ko. Some woman distinguished for great kindly deeds? No» She had been conspicuous for her crimes. It is the house of Rahab. Why was her house spared? Because she had been a great sinner? No, but because she repented, demonstrating to all the ages that there is mercy for the chief of sinners. The red cord of divine injunction reaching from her window to the groundrsso that when the people eaw the red cord they knew it was the divine indication that they should not disturb the premises, making us think of the divine cord cf a Savior's deliverance, the red cord of a Savior's kindness, the red curd of a Savior's mercy, .the red cord of our rescue. Mercy for the chief of sinners. Put your trust in that God, and no damage shall befall you. When our world shall be moro terribly surrounded than was Jericho, ! even by the trumpets of the judgment day and the hills and the mountains, the metal bones and ribs of nature shall break, they who have had Rahab's faith shall have Rahab's d3liverance. When wrapped in Arc the realms of ether glow And heaven's last thunder shakes the earth below Thou, undismayed, shalt o'er t-e ruin? smile And light thy torch at nature's fur.*- ral pile. But Joshua's troops may not halt here. The command is, "Forward, march!" There is tne city of Ai. It must be taken. How shall it be taken? A scouting party comes back and says: Joshua, we can do that without you. It is going to be a very easy job. You must stay here while we go and capture it." They march with a small regiment in front- of that city. The men of Ai look at them and give one yell, and the Israelites run like reindeer. The northern troops at Bull Run did not make such rapid time as theso Israelites with the Canaanites after them. They never cut such a sorry figure as when they were on the retreat. You who go out in the battles of God with only half a force Instead of your taking the men of Ai the men of Ai will take you. Look at the church of God on the retreat. The Borneslan cannibals ate up Munson, the missionary. "Fall back!" said a great many Christian people, "Fall back, O church of God! Borneo will nevor be taker.. Do you not see the Borneslan cannibals have ca!en up Munson, tho missionary?" Tyndall delivers his lecture at the University of Glasgow, and a great many good people aay: "Fall back, O church of Gcd! Do you not see that Christian philosophy is going to be overcome by worldly philosophy? Fall back?" Oeo!o# pl.nccs lis crowbar lztD the mo-ia- >?'•' <• S * tains, and there tre a great m&ay po> pis who say:, "Scientific Investigation is going to over throw the Mosaic as* c«unt of the creation. Fall bsclt!" 0«a*« CoMiws MWt Adr»o«e» But friends of Go4 never hays bad any.right to fall back. Joshua falls on hie face in oaajritt. It Is the only .time you ever see the back of Ms hesti; He falls on his face and begins to whine, and he says, "O Lord Cod, wherefore hast thou at all brought this people over Jordan to deliver us into the hands of the Amorttes, to destroy us? Would to Ood we had been content and dwelt, on the other side of Jordan. Far the Canaanites and all the inhabitants of the land shall hear of It and shall environ us round and cut off our name from the earth." I am very glad Joshua said that Be.'ore It seemed as if he were a supernatural being and therefore could not be an example to us, but I find he is a man, he is only a man. Just as sometimes you find a man under severe opposition or in a bod state of physical health, or worn out with overwork, lying down and sighing about being defeated. I am encouraged when I hear this cry of Joshua as he lies in the dust God comes and rouses him. How does he rouse him? By complimentary apostrophe? No. He says, "Get thee up. Wherefore llcst thou upon thy face?" Joshua rises, and, I warrant you, with a mortified look. But his old courage comes back. The fact was that was not his.battle. If he had been in It he would have gone on to victory. Ho gathers his troops around him and says: "Now, let us go up and capture the city of Ai. Let us" go up right away?' They inafrtr on. He puts the majority of the troops behind a ledge of rocks In the" night, and then he ssnds comparatively small regiments up in front of the city. The men of Ai come out with a shout. Th3 small regiments of Israelites in stratagem fall back, and fall >back, and when all the men of Ai have left the city and are in pursuit of these scattered, or seemingly scattered, regiments, Jcshua stands on a rock—I see his locks flying in the wind as he points his spear toward the doomed city, and that is the signal. The men rush out from behind the rocks and take the city, and it is put to the torch, and then these Israelites in the elty march down, and the flying Israelites return, and between these two waves of Israelitish prowess the men of AI are destroyed, and the Israelites gain the victory; and while I see the curling smoke of that destroyed city on the sky, and while I hear the huzza of the Israelites and the groan of the Canaanites, Joshua hears something loader than it all, ringing and echoing through his soul, "There shall not any man be able to stand before thee all the days of thy life." No Place to Stop. But this is no place for tho host of Joshua to stop. "Forward, march!" cries Joshua to the troops. There i3 the city of Gibeon. It has put itself under the protection of Joshua. They send word: "There are five kings after us. They are going to destroy us. Send troops quick. Send us help right away." Joshua has a three day's march, more thari double o.uick. On the morning of the third day he is before the enemy. There are two long lines of battle. Tho battle opens with great slaughter, but the Canaanites soon discover something. They say: "That is Joshua. That is the man who conquered the spring freshet and knocked down the stone walls of Jericho and destroyed the city of Ai. There is no uso fighting." They sound a retreat, and as they begin to retreat Joshua and his host spring upon them like a panther, pursuing them over the rocks, while the catapults of the sky pour a volley of hailstones into the valley, and all the artillery of the heavens, with bullets of iron, pound the Canaanites against tho ledge3 of Bethhoron. "Oh," says Joshua, "this is surely a victory!" "But do you not see the sun is going down? Those Amorites are going to get away after all, and then they will come up eome ether time and bother us. arid perhaps destroy us. See, the sun Is going down. Oh. for a longer ,day than has ever been seen in this'climate!" Look out when a good man makes the Lord his ally. Joshua n*-'se3 hie face, radiant with prayer, and looks at the descending sun oyer Gibeon and at the faint crescent of the moon, for you know the cueen of the night sometimes will linger around the .palaces of the day. Pointing one hand at the descending sun and tho other at the faint crescent of tho moon, in the name of that God who shaped the worlds and moves tho worlds he cries: "Sun, stand thou still upon Gibson, and thou, mocn, in the valley of AJalon!" They halted. Whether it was by refraction of the sun's rays or by the stopping of the whole planetary system I do not know and do not care. I leave It to the Christian Scientists a'nd the Infidel scientists to settle that question, while I tell you I have seen the same thing. "What?" say you. "Not the sun standing still?" YOJ. The same miracle Is performed nowadays. The wicked do not live out ha'f, their day, and their gua nU at noon.

The Nov. meeting of1 the Anderson Farmers Club met at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Geo. Greiner. It opened with the singing of America after which Miss Blanche Martin saug a solo. We then listened to an excellent paper by Mr. Wm. iSayles, entitled Stable character Versus Fleeting Policy. F e showed explicity that strength of character is a neccesity and it has been advised by man at all times regardless of creed or nationalities. He said it was lack of christian character that failed to accomplish the would be good work of civilizing China. Also that citizens in working for the interest of their country should apply the same principles of right and wrong as when dealing with their next neighbor. Abraham Lincoln was sited as a model. We then listened to recitation by Miss Pacia Hinchey a vocal solo by Miss Nellie Gardner and last but not least an instrumental solo by Miss Elenor Brogan. _ Mr. and Mrs. Jas._ Marble were chosen as delegates to represent our club at the Stnte convention held in Lansimg in December. Various other committees were appointed to look after the interests at home, Wm. Sayles was appointed by Pres. to draw up Resolutions in memory of Mr. Nathanial J. Durkee lately deceased.

RESOLVED :—that it is the acknowledgement of this club that if there were no hope beyond the grave that the departure of our dear friend and brother, Nathanial J. Durkee, would cast a blighting gloom upon the life of every member of this happy circle, but when we read and believe the procious promises to those whose lives are devoted to the uplifting of their fellow men, we realize that our brother has simply been transfered from this world of trials and disappointment to a life of infinite eternal joy. To the bereaved family we extend our sincere sympathy and ask them to find comfort, as we have done tn these eternal truths. - W. H. SAYLES. Vondervottelmlttlss. . Yet. as It lies some distance from any of the main roads, being in a somewhat out of the way situation, there are perhaps very few of my readers who have ever paid It a visit. The alte at the village la lh a. perfectly circular valley, about a quarter 3f a mile In circumference, and entirely surrouudinl by gentle hills, over whose suuiu:ic the people have never yet ventured to pass. For this they assign the very good reason that they do not believe there is anything at all on the other side. Round the skirts of the vaUey (which Is quite level and paved throughout with flat tiles) extends a continuous row of 60 little houses. These, hating their hacks on the hills, must look of course to the center of the plain, which is just GO yards from the front door of each dwelling. Every house has a small garden before it. with a circular path, a sundial and 24 cabbages. The buildings themselves are so precisely alike that one can in no manner be distinguished from the other. Owing to the vast antiquity, the style of architecture Is somewhat odd, but it is not for that reason the less strikingly picturesque. They are fashioned of hard burned little bricks, red, with black ends, so that the walls look like a chessboard upon a great scale. The gables are turned to the front, and there are cornices, as big as all the rest of the house, over the eaves and over the main doors. The windows are narrpw and deep, with very tiny panes and a great deal of sash. On the roof is a vast quantity of tiles with-long, cnrly__eara.

I cannot speak to highly of it" This remedy always wins the good opinion, if not praise, of those frho use it. The quicic cures which it effects even in the most severe cases make it a favorite everywhere^ For sale by F. A. Sigler, Pinckney. D. A. Gould, of Pontiac, has a funeral "coming" as the result of an election bet with an undertaker, but isn't anxious to have the terms of the bargain carried out at present. throughout is of a dark hue, and there Is much carving about it, with but a trifling variety of patterns, for time out of mind the carvers of Vondervotteimlttiss have never been able to carve more than two objects—a timepiece and a cabbage. But these they do exceedingly well and intersperse them with singular ingenuity wherever they find room for the chisel. The dwellings are as much alike inside as out, and the furniture is all upon one plan. The floors are of square tiles, the chalra^ind tables of black looking wood, with thin, crooked legs and puppy feet The mantelpieces are wide and high and have not only timepieces and cabbages sculptured over the front but a real timepiece, which makes a prodigious ticking, on the top, in the middle, with a flowerpot containing a cabbage standing on each extremity by way of outrider. Between each cabbage and the timepiece, again, is a little china man having a large stomach with a great round hole In it, through which is seen the dial plate of a watch. The fireplaces- are large and deep, with fierce, crooked looking fire dogs. There is constantly a rousing fire and a huge pot over it full of sauerkraut and pork, to which the good woman of the house Is always busy in attending. She Is a little fat lady, with blue eyes and a red face, and wears a huge cap like a sugar loaf ornamented with purple and VAUAW ribbons.

The boys themselves are. all three of them. In the garden attending the pig. They are each two feet in height. They have three cornered cocked bats, pur* pie waistcoats reaching down to their thighs, buckakln knee breeches, red woolen stockings, heavy shoes with big •liver buckles and long surtoot coats with large buttons of mother ot pearl Each, too. has a pipe in his mouth, and a little dumpy watch In his right hand. He takes a puff and a look and then a look and a puff. The pig— which-4s-«orptnent and lazy—is occupied now in picking up the stray leaves that fall from the cabbages, and now in giving a kick behind at the gilt repeater, which the urchins have also tied to his tail, in order to make him look as handsome as the cat. Right at the front door, In a high backed leather bottomed armchair, with crookedness and puppy feet like the tables. Is seated the old man of the house himself. He is an exceedingly puffy little old genttemanr with big circular eyes and a huge double chin. His dress resembles that of the boys— and I need say nothing further about it All the difference is, that his pipe is somewhat bigger than theirs, and he can make a greater smoke. Like them, he has a watch, but he carries his watch in his pocket. To say the truth, he has something of more importance than a watch to attend to—and what that is I shall presently explain. He sits with Ms right leg upon his left knee, wears a grave countenance and always keeps one of his eyes, at least resolutely bent upon a certain remarkable object in the center of the plain. This object is situated in the steeple o*~tfae~iK>use~ oTtEe town council. The town council are all very, little, round, oily, intelligent men, with big saucer eyes and fat double chins, and have their coats much longer and their shoe buckles much bigger than the ordinary inhabitants of Vondervotteimlttlss. Since my sojourn in the borough, they have had several special meetings, and have adopted these three important resolutions: "That it is wrong to alter the good old course of things. "That there Is nothing tolerable out of Vondervotteimlttlss, and "That we will stick by our clocks and our cabbages." Above the session room of the coun> cil is the steeple, and in the steeple Is the belfry, where exists and has existed time out of mind, the pride and wonder of the village—the great clock of the borough of Vondervotteimlttlss. And this is the object to which the eyes of the old gentlemen are turned who sit in the leather bottomed armchairs. The great clock has seven faces, one In each of the seven sides of the steeple, so that it can be readily seen from all quarters. Its faces are large and white and its hands heavy and black. There is a belfryman, whose sole duty Is to attend to it. But this duty is the most perfect of sinecures, for the clock of Vondervotteimlttlss was never yet known to have anything the matter with, it. Until lately the bare supposltion of such a thing was considered heretical. From the remotest period of antiquity to which the archives have reference the hours have been regularly struck by the big bell. And indeed the case was just the same with all the other clocks and watches in the borough. Never was such a place for keeping the true time. When the large clapper thought proper to say "12 o'clock!" all its obedient followers opened their throats simultaneously and responded like a very echo. I D short, the good burghers were fond of their sauerkraut but then they were proud of their clocks. All people who hold sinecure offices are held in more or less respect and, as the belfryman of Vondervotteimlttlss has the most perfect of sinecures, he is the most perfectly respected of any man in the world. He is the chief dignitary of the borough, and the very pigs look up to him with a sentiment of reverence. His coattall Is very far longer, his pipe,,his shoe buckles, his eyes and his stomach are,very far bigger, than tiio*e of any other old gentleman in the village. And as to his chin, it is not only double, but triple. I have thus painted the happy estate of Vondervotteimlttlss. Alas, that to fair a picture should ever experience a reverse! There has been long a saying among the wisest inhabitants that "no good can come from over the hills." And it really seemed that the words had In them something of the spirit of prophecy.

Corbin argues that the ar my*canteen reduces the number of court martials and results in better discipline. But the reports of Major John A. Hall, judge vocate of military department of Phil -ippmesj-tells—a different, story. The report covers the period up to the close of the fiscal year June 30, 1899, an actual period of ten and one-half months. During this period, there was an average number of 21,078 enlisted men .n the command, yet during this time there were 12,481 causes of court martial of various sorts. Of these 11,902 were summary court martials, representing 7,090 differ* ent men. On this official showing a full third of all the soldiers who were sent to the Philippines were arrested and tried for crime or misdemeaner before the first eleven mouths of the American occupation were completed; an average of 38 court martials a day. Besides this, the report shows 137 deserations from the American ranks during the same period. Besides these military courts, there where three police courts attending the cases of vagrants, drunks, gamblers, fighting; and scarcely a days record appears in which during the period from two to twenty American soldiers were not in the dock charged with There it a clever raacal giving eaat of Mason wfcti haa sir c^rignal way of p*oewri»r W» grfloeriea.. fiTe has selected a spot on Bicbells road which runa southeast from Mason, where it leada up a long sandy hill, on one side of which ia quite a dent^foresi Here ho waite on a dark night for the farmers jogging homeward, after Jgrading m Mason, and as their rig plod slowly up tholiTrfirsliir^p to the rear end of the buggy and helps himself to the various pack* agea of sugar, tea, tobacoo and other articles.

Let lis on this day be thankful for the abundant yield of our orchards and fields, for the freedom from pestilence and famine. Let as remember the ready response whlcU has come from sympathetic hearts, touched by the calamities of our fellow citizens, the generous contribution (0 those whoso homes have been destroyed by tempest and flood, and tho development of humanity in the invention or methods which alleviate the suffering*, attendant upon war. Let us as we unite in our services of thanksgiving and praise, remember with gratitude the growing sense of justice among all classes of men, and the establishment of higher ideals of 8ociallife. While we remember these blessings with thankfulness, let one gratitude inspire us to utilize our high powers of citizenship that we may be more worthy of the place wo now hold .among civilized nations of the world. Given under my hand and the great seal of -the state of Michigan, at the capitol, in Lansing, this r5th day of November, in tho year of our Lord, one thousand nine hundred, and of the in- - dependence of the United States the one hundred and twenty-fifth.

There were 2,817 d e a t h s reported to t h e secretary of state as occurring%in October, the d e a t h rate b e i n g 13.8 per 1,000 of population. Thr total l e s s t h a n t h e number returned for "September. T h e r e were 623 d e a t h s of i n f a n t s under o n e y e a r old; 331 of children from o n e t o four years of age, a n d 633 of p e r s o n s a g e d G3 y e a r s a n d over. I m p o r t a n t causas of d e a t h s were a s f o l l o w s : P n l m o n a r y consumption, usuaL In many oases rye was sown Instead. AU wheat sown before the last days of September is full of fly. Many fields that look green end are well covered with a thrifty growth of plants, are literally alive with the larva of the insect. Some nelds of wheat have been cultivated and rcsown tc wheat, while others have been .down to ryo. Some farmers will sow clover in the spring, and let the crop mature if possible. Wheat sown* in October 1s in a measure free from insects. In some cases early sown rye is fun of Insects, and wheat sown later in adjoining fields is net infested. Methods like this nHtot-necessarily be adopted if the work cf this insect is to be controlled so that the wheat crop of this state will not bo damaged yearly. The total amount of bushels of wheat reported marketed by farmers in October at the flouring mills is 229,079, and at the elevators 160,600, or a total of 3$6,*7t> bushels. The estimated averase yield of corn in bushels is, in the state, 33: in the southern counties, JS: in tho central counties, 23, and in the northern counties, 28, Conditions in the southern purt of the stato have been very favorable for corn, in fuct tho crop will Be one of the largest ever harvested in this state, and the quality is exceptionally good. The area planted last spring was larger than usual, so that the total amount harvested will be large for this state. The acreage of cloverseed harvested as compared with average years is, in per cent, in the state 70. in the southern counties 83, and in the northern counties 82. Tho average yield per acre in bushels is, in the state 1.46, in the southern counties 1.83, in tho state 1.4t>, in tho southern 132. in the central counties 1.8J and in the northern oountics 1.92. The same conditions which enabled farmers to grow a large corn crop made a large potato crop possible. In some cases the crop was injured by blight; in some parts of the state it was cut short by drought in August, while in some lowlands it was damaged by too much rain. The estimated avcruge yield per acre In the state, in bushel*, is 08, in the southern , counties 95, in the central counties 1C0, and in is 500 I the northern counties 110. The use of commercial fertilizers in this state is not general. In the eastern part of the state they are used quite extensively on certain crops. Many farmers are making careful experiments along this line, preferring to demonstrate for themselves the effect these? fertilizers have on different soils of the farm. Much work of this kind should be done in order that each farmer might know in what way his soil was deficient and what fertilizer was the best to apply. in QffJfr NSW8 PABAQHAPH9.

But inwardly she rejoiced that the- woman she had felt was her superior had not always lived above-reproach. The knowledge prom* Ueda certain hold upon her, and in iter manner toward Gladys when next rrl7 they jaet^here was * hint of power and a measure of (contempt the latter found it hard to bear. , Harvey's demeanor, too, had altered. Star days .he looked pale and grave. Although perfectly respectable to his mother he-spoke to her as seldom as possible, addressing most of his remarks, when vthe little family met at table, to -his^wife. Gladys sympathized with his mood, and waited patiently for it to pasg. She knew how galled hie proud spirit must be; still, as the monotonous days crawled by, bringing no change, she began to feel very lonely. She would have consoled herself with the baby had she been allowed to do so, but Helen had her own ideas, wise ones, all of them, on the subject of child rearing. It made an infant precocious, she said, to notice them too much; his Intellect should be allowed to develop gradually. As for the Inane nonsense called baby talk, no child of hers should listen to It. Good English was just as simple and far more sensible. And Gladys, who would have cooed the sweet mother jargon by the hour, all the world forgetting save the smiling mite in her arms, knew that a reproof was intended, and accepting it, loft Harvey's baby to Harvey's wife. Had she been a strong-minded woman she would have have risen above her trials and found happiness in her own occupations; but she was .only a gentle, clinging creature to whom love was as the breath of life. That gone, nothing remained. She wondered sometimes how Harvey, even though displeased, could neglect her BO. In the past they had been everything to each other. Now he seldom gave her a thought; his wife was his all in all. Helen's coldness did not hurt her; she was not of her blood, and she had no claim on her affection; but she had given~her life to Harvey, and his indifference was hard to bear. One cold, rainy day Phebe found her crying in her private parlor, which wa3 divided, from her sleeping and dressing rooms .by a wide hall. The curtains were drawn and the spacious apartment usually so pretty in Its tints of crimson and blue seemed co^d and gloomy. CHAPTER IV. The housekeeper said not a word, hut went to the window and threw hack the curtains, then touched a match .to the wood laid ready in the grate. The flames leaped forth as if $ia$l to escape from their resinous prison, making glittering reflections in the polished tiles and filling every corner with,a.rosy glow. Phebe roiled her mistress' .favorite chair to the hearth. "Come .and sit here, Miss Gladys, while J get.you a cup of coffee. It will warm you up. The room is like a w r i t " Gladys .crushed back a sob and meekly did as she was bidden. She always obeyed Phebe. She drank the coffee when ittwas .brought#and looked apologetically Into .the housekeeper's kind if grim face. "I miss ijouise Leonard *© much!" she said. "I know all About i t Miss Gladys. That reason will do as well AS any other. T#hen are you going to have Mr. Walter Barr and his young wife hero Jo dinner? They've been married thre^ months .now.*" "I suppose I ought to invite them soon," said Gladys, brightening * little. "But Mrs. Harvey st\ objects to company—-j* "And is the house to he kept, like a tomb to please her? She has her husband and baby', and yon have nobody, U seems.

"I think you are right, Shebe/* she presently said with an air of decision. "I will do as you say." : . , - . - . She' dressed herself with unusual care for dinner. She was resolved to B^lfry-ftpy iftfa? food humor. He had just taken his place at the table when she entered, a charming vision in pale pink and white, and he smiled involuntarily. "Why, how lovely we are this evening! " he exclaimed. Helen darted at him a disapproving look; but the pleasant words had escaped, and Gladys was responding to them In kind as she took her place at his right She had long ago given Helen the head of the table. She coveted it, and Harvey was pleased to see her there, and she herself cared nothing for petty dfstinctions. The conversation moved on pleasantly, if a trifle haltingly, and presently Gladys ahhounced her intention of i n - viting Mr. and Mrs. Barr and one or two other friends to dinner. "I had thought of next Tuesday, Harvey, if you and Helen are disengaged for that evening," she said. "We are, as far as I know," he answered, glancing at his wife. Helen did not respond. She was displeased that Mrs. Atherton should contemplate entertafning company at all, and doubly so that she had addressed her question to Harvey instead of to herself, and went on eating her dinner in her usual deliberate way. She had a fine appetite, and took excellent care of her digestion, a3 a wise young woman should.^ "Then we'll say Tuesday evening," said Gladys, all unconscious of what was passing in Helen's mind, and mistaking her silence for acquiescence, she regarded the matter as settled. it was not until the very day of the dinner that she discovered her error. By this time she and Harvey were on their old terms again, the coolness between them apparently forgotten. Helen's manner never relaxed; she had her own grievances and resented them in her own way. • Gladys, however, gave no evidence that she observed anything amiss. "I am sure you will like Mrs. Barr, Helen/' she said at breakfast on Tuesday, hoping to draw the younger woman into conversation, tor her persistent lack of interest in any talk in which she was not directly included was Irksome. "She Is a girl after your own style—an excellent daughter, now a capable wife. I hope you will become friends." "Thank you," said Helen, in wintry tones. "I am not a believer in married women's friendships. My husband and my child suffice for me. A woman's home should.be..her kingdom." She g l f l P q ^ P» Hnrvpy frm th» n p - aud although he could not see exactly | where Gladys had erred, he was .soon convinced that his wife had bees trail* *B*dy insulted, and was grievously hurt in eonsejQuence, J$p«hio# could have been further from the truth tthan either conviction; but Easing Into tedaettve eyes, tear drenched, pressing warm, red lips covering with •obey few- men are wise enough to discriminate between the chastening dews of sorrow and the bitter waters of spite or 'envy." . . " . . - Gladys' dinner was a success. She felt Helen's Absence to be a, relief. It seemed pleasant to have the house to hjsrself again, -and to sit. at the head of her own table. 8he threw off her sadness and "became the charming, frivolous Gladys every one petted and loved. Her guests lingered late. Long after Harvey and Helen had retired •the sound of their voices rang through the house, and Helen complained next day at breakfast that baby was fretful and unwell, having been robbed of his sleep the night previous. Mrs. Atherton made no answer to this plaint. She had discovered that Harvey'8 geniality had vanished, and his manner toward her was cold. She divined the reason for the change, and while resenting his Injustice was hurt by it. She could retain his favor only by submitting to his wife's caprices, it seemed: 'Her long years of devotion counted for nothing; all was forgotten when this woman, between kisses, accused her of some petty meanne33 ot which she was incapable. How dared he listen to charges so unjust? Before the meal was half over she proving; smile with which he always applauded her borrowed phrases, as though every word were a nugget of wisdom fresh from the mine, and added a trifle less deliberately: "I dislike strangers, aud care nothing for social pleasures, so I can not truthfully say I am sorry I shall not meet Mrs. Barr this evening." "What do you mean, Nell? Have you forgotten she is to come here to dinner?" "No; but you and I are to dine at father's. I promised him ten days ago." Helen spoke calmly, though her color flickered as she encountered Harvey's astonished stare. Gladys, too, looked surprised. "My dear girl," Harvey burst out "why in the world did you not tell the mater so when she was making arrangements for her dinner?" "Because she did not consult me. She addressed you, and took it for granted I had no engagements. I never offer unsolicited information.'* Gladys saw an ominous look in Harvey's eyes, and rose hastily. She had no desire to witness a matrimonial squabble. "It is not of the least consequence, Harvey. I should like Helen to meet Mrs. Barr, who has a great deal of social Influence, but there will be plenty of opportunities for her to do so in the future, as 1 intend to open the house to my friends again. I have been living too quietly of late." She looked .full at Helen, and there was a touch of defiance in the manner of both. "Do not giv^,this little misunderstanding a thought I shall not; for it isn't worth it" She had left the room before the last word was uttered, and ran lightly down the pktxsa steps to the garden. "What a woman!" she thought "What a hard, narrow, revengeful, sullen woman! Poor Harvey! I hope he may continue .blind to the end. It is his osiy chance for happiness. She aeed not have been concerned , tor Harvey. Already Helen, her arms about his sjfick, her voice broken with emotion, woe making her cause good; rose from the table with a sudden hot anger that dismayed her, for she had never felt anything like it before. She realized that she should end by hating Helen and despising Harvey; a material love that, crushes out all purer affections degrades a man; not even the sacrament of marriage can render it holy. • She rode further than usual that day, and was overtaken by one of the violent thunder storms peculiar to the season. She came home drenched and shivering with cold. Phebe, who was waiting for her on .a side veranda with a thick shawl, almost carried her to her room, and without ceremony undressed and put her to bed. "We shall have you down with a fever next," she grumbled. "You were about ready for it before." Gladys, strangely inert, languidly opened her eyes. '"if I am 111, Phebe, and I fear I am going to be, no one must wait on me but you. I may be delirious and talk. Keep Harvey out of the room at all hazards. Poor boy! If he should learn the truth " "It would put him just where he deserves to he put" said Phebe, her smouldering anger against the married couple kindled into a flame by Gladys' condition. "But don't fret, dearie; I'll do as you say. Shall I give* the keys to Mrs. Karvey?" she added, feeling that her mistress was very ill already. "Yes; it will keep her out of your way," said Gladys with a faint smile. Then her ^eyes~ciosed agahr-and-shesank into a troubled sleep." Next morning she was tossing with fever,' and for three months knew nothing of what was going on around her. One bright October day she opened her eyes and looked searchingly into Phebe's face. The faithful woman, wearied by her long vigils, was nodding in her chair by the bedside. "Why;Phebe, how thin you are!" sho exclaimed in a weak voice. Phebe started up with a stifled cry. "Oh, my lamb, my lamb, thank God you've come back to us again!" she said, tears streaming from her eyes. "Why, haw long have I been here?" Gladys asked. "Fourteen weeks." •"Fourteen weeks!" She lay thinking the wonderful fact over, then turned to Phebe with her own merry smile. "And haveU't you given me anything to eat in all that time,'you Cruel woman?

' In a recent letter from 6900 Michigan avenue, Chicago, 111., Mr. Moody says the following; "For over twenty-five years I suffered from catarrh, and tor over ten years I suffered from catarrh of the stomach terribly, « I bare taken all kinds of medicines and have bean treated by all kinds of doctors, as thousands of my acquaintances are aware In different parts of the United States, where I have traveled, but the relief was only temporary, until a little over a year ago I started to take Peruna, and at the present time I am better than I have been for twenty years* « The soreness has left my stomach entirely and I am tree from Indigestion and dyspepsia and will say to all who are troubled with catarrh or stomach trouble ot any kind, don't put it off and suffer, but begin to take Peruna right away, and keep it up until you are cured, as you surely will be If you persevere." "My wife, as many in the southwest can say, was troubled with a bad cough and bronchial trouble, and doctors all over the country gave her up to die, as they could do nothing more for her. She began taking Peruna with the result that she is better now than she has been in years, and her cough has almost left her entirely. The soreness has left her lungs and she i3 as well as she ever was in her life, with thanks, as she says, to Peruna. Yours very truly, T. P. Moody? Catarrh in its various forms is rapidly becoming a general curse. An undoubted remedy has been discovered by Dr. Hartman. This remedy has been thoroughly tested during the past forty years. Prominent men have come to know of its virtues, and are making public utterances on the subject. To save the country we must save the people. To save the people we must protect them from disease. The disease that is at once the most prevalent and stubborn of cure is catarrh. if one were to make a list of the different names that have been applied to catarrh in different locations and organs, the result would be as- •*»HP' * • -'A it ?2 •t *y • • ( - • \ ' - * . / ! • : * • • ' • , • .

By the time that ft wanted only three minutes to coon the droll object In question was perceived to be a very diminutive, foreign looking young man. He descended the hills at a great rate, so that everybody had soon a good look at him. He was really the most finicky little personage that had ever been seen In Vondeivottoimittlss. His countenance was of a dark snuff color, and he h«d a long hooked nose, pea eyes, a wide mouth n;id an excellent set-of-teethv—ivh-teH latter-iie-SFoulotT anxious of displaying, as he was grinning from oar to ear. What with mustachios and whiskers, there was none of the rest of his face to be seen. His head was uncovered and his hair neatly doire up in papillotes. His dress was a tight fitting swallow tailed black ront. from one of whose pockets dan gled a vast length of white handkerchief: black kerseymere knee breeches, black stockings and stumpy looking pumps, with huge bunches of black satin ribbon for bows. Under one arm he carried a huge chapeau-de-bras and under, the other a fiddle nearly five times as big as himself. In his left hand was a gold snuffbox, from which, as he capered down the hill, cutting all manner of fantastical steps, he took snuff Incessantly with an air of the f greatest possible self satisfaction. God bless me! Here was a sight for the honesf burghers of Vondervotteimit* tiss! To speak plainly, the fellow had, in spite of his grinning, an audacious and sinister kind of face, and as be curvetted right into the village the old itumpy appearance of his pumps ex cited no Ottle suspicion, and many a burgher who beheld him that day[ would have given a trifle for a peep beneath the white cambric handkerchief which hung so obtrusively from the pocket of his swallow tailed coat. Bui what mainly occasioned a righteous indignation was that the scoundrelly pop lnjay, while he cut a fandango here and a whirligig there, did not seem to have the remotest idea in the world oi such a thing ^ s keeping time in his steps. The good people of the borough had scarcely a chance, however, to get their eyes thoroughly open, when, just as it wanted half a minute of noon, the rascal bounced, as I say, right into the midst of them; gave a chassez here, and a balancez there, and then, after a pirouette and a pas-de-zephyr, pigeon winged himself right np Into the belfry of the house of the town council, where the wonder stricken beifryman sat smoking In a state of dignity and dismay. But the little chap seized him at once bj the nose, gave it "a swing and a pull, clapped the big chapeau-de-bras upon hi* head, knock*. ed It down over his eyes and month. | and then, ltfttout w> the big fiddle. no at urn w.:a itso toug and so *ountt ly that what with the, beifryman beJ log so fat -and the fiddle being so hollow, you wouM have sworn that thees waa a regiment of double basa drummers all beating the devil's tattoo up in the belfry of the steeple of Vonder* vottelmlttias. There is no knowing to what desperate act of vengeance his unprincipled attack might have aroused the inhabitants but'for the Important fact that it now wanted. only half a second of noon. The bell was about to strike, and it was a matter of absolute and] *f*->**---«- [,••.' i intTtll^mimifmtfimKft^m^tmmmfmlffm pre-eminent necessity that everybody should look well at his watch. I t was evident, however, that just at this moment the fellow in the steeple was doing something that he bad no business to do with the clock. But, as it now began to strike, nobody had any time to attend to his maneuvers* for i they had all to count the strokes of the bell as it sounded. "One!" said the clock. "Von!" echoed every little old gentleman in every leather bottomed armchair in Vondervotteimittiss^ "Von!" said his watch also; "Von!" said%the watch of his vrow, and "Von!" said the watche's of the boys and the little repeaters on the taUa of-the cat and Pig. "Two!" continued the big bell, and "Doo!" repeated all the repeaters. "Three! Four! Five! Sis! Seven! Eight! Nine! Ten!" said the bell. "Dree! Vour! Flbe! Sax! Seben! Alght! Nein! Den!" answered the others. "Eleven!"' said the big one.? "Eleben!" assented the little fellow. "Twelve!" said the bell. "Dvelf!" they replied, perfectly satisfled and dropping their voices. "Und dvelf it iss!" said all the little old gentlemen, putting up their watches. But the big bell had not done with them yet. "Thirteen!" said he. "Der teufel!" gasped the little gentlemen, turning pale, dropping their pipes and putting down all their right legs from over their left knees. "Der teufel!" groaned they. "Dirteen! Dtrteen! Mein Gott it is dirteen o'clock!" Why attempt to describe the terrible scene which ensued? All Vondervotteimittiss flew at once into a lamentable state of uproar. "Vot is cum'd to mein pelly?" roared all the boys. "I've been ongry for dis hour!" "Vot is cum'd to mein kraut?" screamed all the vrows. "It has been done to rags for dis hour!" "Vot is cum'd to mein pipe?" swore all the little old gentlemen. "Donder and blitzen! It has been smoked out for dis hour!" And they filled them up again in a great rage and, sinking back in their armchairs, puffed away so fast and so fiercely that the whole valley was Immediately filled with impenetrable smoke. Meantime the cabbages all turned very red in the face, and It seemed as if old Nick himself had taken possession of everything In the shape of a tlmepjheceV_The "clocks carved upon the" furniture took to dancing, as if bewitched, while those upon the mantelpieces could scarcely contain themselves for fury and kept such a continual striking of 13 and such a frisking and wriggling of their pendulums as was really horrible to see. But. worse than all, neither the cats nor the pigs could put up any longer with the behavior of the little repeaters tied to their tails and resented it by scampering all over the place, scratching and poking and squeaking and screeching and caterwauling and squalling and flying into the faces and running under the petticoats of the people, and creating altogether the most abominable din and confusion which It is possible for a reasonable person to conceive. And to make matters still more distressing tn* rascafly nme soap* grace in the steeple was evidently ozy ertttitf himself to the utmost Every now and then one might catch 4 glimpse of the scoundrel through tha smoke. There he sat 10 the. belfry upon the beifryman. who waa lying flat upon bit back. In his teeth the villaia held the beUrope, which he kept Jerk* Ing about with his bead, raiding tuck a clatter thai, my ears ring again era* to think of it, On bis lap lay ihe big fiddle, at which he* was scraping ovt of all time and tune with both bands.

Let us proceed in a body to the borough and restore the ancient order of things In Vondervotteimittiss by ejecting that little fellow from the steeple. Tike Murder of Sleep. . Speaking on the problem of city noises, especially those which make night hideous, the Westminster Review says: "When preventable noises invade the hours of sleep, the matter becomes serious, for in this busy, bar* asslng life sound rest at night is an essential to the maintenance of the working powers. "One of the most alarming concomitants of modern civilization Is the increasing prevalence of lunacy aud other nervous diseases. The cause i* doubtless to be found in the hurried, anxious lives that we lead, in the intensity of our studies, the fierce difficulties of life with most of us. How many breadwinners, whether professional men, business men, artisan* or factory girls, return to their homes day after day utterljr exhausted by their continuous labors! To such unv disturbed sleep is'the best of all. tonics, but this is often difficult to obtain, and its deficiency means Impaired health oi even complete breakdown. The contrast between the health and develop ment of the agricultural laborer and that of the average industrial operative is due not alone to the out of door life and healthy occupation of the former, but in no small degree to early hours of retiring and quiet nights." Selling a Wife. We often laugh at the credulity of French people who believe that the English still "sell their wives at Smitfill," but it is certain from the evidence of the police courts and other sources that some of the most ignorant of oui fellow countrymen, in common with the equivalent inhabitants of other nations, do occasionally transfer their legal spouses to other men for a consideration received in the belief that they are observing all the necessary formalities.

As in the days of old, she was aware of a tender deference shown toward her, a deference that was genuine and had in it nothing- of patronage. After a time Bartley glanced at his •watch and rose to his feet "I.am going to raid the surrounding country and see what I can do in the way of a Thanksgiving dinner/' "Not in this storm," she-cried, and ner dear dark eyes fell before his. "I have an umbrella. Besides I am used to storms." . > He was gone some time. When he returned, she was at tho door to meet him. "I see you were successful," pointing to the bundles he carried. He shook his head. "You will think It a poor success. At the agent's home dirt was too plentiful. I saw we could not think of dining there. I made' my way to another house, only to find it locked. However, there is a postofflce near, where the agentSssured me I would find a 'store.' There —well, the contents of these paper bags will tell the story." She laughed as merrily as a child, and began to peer into the bags. Soon they were seated, she in the chair, he on the bench in front of her. Sheets from a newspaper he happened to have in his pocket were spread over their laps, and on these they placed crackers, cheese, peanuts and sticks of red and white striped candy. "I'm sorry," Bartley began, eyeing the spread with evident disfavor, "but ft is the best the land affords. Here Is a part of every eatable thing In the merchant's stock, savr gum; molabaes and articles that must be cooked. It is a poor Thanksgiving dinner to offer you, Zoe." The name slipped from him unawares. She blushed and began to talk lightly. All constraint vanished. The burden of years seemed to have fallen from them. Suddenly she looked up, an arch smile curving her lips. — "Think of the tables at which we expected to sit today. Remember the various delicacies, the silver, china, embroidered linen and flowers, then note the contrast Is not this a strange Thanksgivingfv •r___' He leaned forward, and again her eyes sank before bis. "I remember it all, and yet I feel like returning thanks becauso 1 am here—with you." Just then the station agent entered. A freight train came in sight and halted. Zoe retreated to a window while the men went out and in the depot After a short time the train went on, and the agent again left the travelers alone. Bartley came at once to her side.

To the popular mind the word "Tnaitiugiving'' standi for a day. of festivity. But they' who lose its sub- Jective meaning in mere creature enjoyment suffer a misfortune and mist an opportunity. To our fathers, Thanksgiving was a sacrament It was one of .their acts of religion to set apart for it an annual day. Heaven had blessed their harvester and they wished to express in a special way appreciation of its favors. Nothing in their example was more sane and sensibJa than the creation of this November family custom, now become national. There have been changes of our social life since the old time. These have made it less easy to observe the day so generally with public rites of worship, hut the ordinance holds its place with pleasing fitness, and with ample reason. We have a thousandfold more to be devoutly glad for than our fathers had; and the feeling and the faith they carried with them to the "solemn assembly" we can radiate in brighter homes and wider activities of kindness. The unfolding Christian age has given us the larger thought of the meaning and mission of freedom and of civilisation; the grander type and idea of benevolence; the tenderer beliefs that sweeten life and death with hope. For all these let us thank God. Gratitude is not only "a natural function of the healthy soul"; It IS Its wealth. Invest It Its interest will enrich the character, and uplift the whole life.

Roy Madison, deliberately turning their backs on the refinements of a higher civilization and accepting the dally drudgery and routine of life on a cattle ranch filled her with wondering amazement When she fell to speculating on what their future years might be, she shuddered. From the hollowed sole of her modishly booted foot to the crown of her sleek and perfectly poised little head Miss Glendower was Boatonian. But for the short space of time that she waited Lawrence irving's coming the life here was full of charm for her. Its ways were alluring, and not the least among its fascinations Was Mesouite. She smiled amusedly at the tall cowboy's utter unconsciousness In there being any social difference between them, at his simple acceptation of her notice. Miss Glendower w a s finding vast entertainment in his honest hearted, undisguised adoration. She had come west for experiences, and one of the first and decidedly the most exciting and Interesting had been found in Mesquite. Besides, it gave her something to write of when she seut her weekly letter to Lawrence Irving. She sometimes found writing to him a bit of a bore when topics' were wanting. But Mesquite—the boy was a revelation of surprises every day. There was no boredom where he was. Amusu)g— yes, that was the word. There he was now, crossing the bare and hard beaten square of gray earth that lay between the ranchhouse and the corrals. Though he was looking beyond the piazza to where the other boys were driving a "bunch" of bellowing, dust stirring cattle into an lnclosure, yet she felt it w a s she whom his eyes saw.

There w&* only one letter for Miss Glendower that night. It began: "I will bo with you, my darling, 24 hours after you get this. Just one day more, love, and I'll hold you In my arms again! Just one more week, and you will be my wife, Audrey! Think of it!'* She bad thought; wa<t thinking now. She was also wondering now Mesquite would take i t 80 they rode homeward. As they loped across the wide stretch of white desert flats that reached to the sand hills, shutting the ranch from sight, the twilight fell, and., with it came sharp gusts of wind that now and then brought a whirl of desert d u s t Harder and harder it blew. Then it fell upon them in its malevolence,^to catch them, to hold them in Its uncanny clasp an instant and then, releasing them, go madly racing off into the farther twilight, moaning in undertone a s it went. Then heat lightning struck vividly at the horizon, and the air everywhere became surcharged with the electric current of a coming desert sandstorm. They heard its roar coming up the valley. Audrey Glendower felt her nerves a-tlngle. This, too, w a s an experience. In sheer delight she laughed aloud at the excitement showi n g i n tbe~quivering horses, their ears nervously pointing forward, then? nostrils distended, as, with long, eager strides, they pounded away at the wind blown levels. Then the storm caught them at its wildest. Suddenly a tumbleweed—dry and uprotted from its slight moorings somewhere away on the far side of the fiats—came whirling toward them broadside in the vortex of a mad rush of wind, in which, without warning, they were in $n Instant enveloped. As the great, rolling, ball-like weed struck her horse Miss Glendower took a tighter grip on the reins and steadied herself for the runaway rush into the duststorm and the darkness. The wild wind caught her, shrieked in her ears, tore at her habit as though to wrest it from her body, dragged at t h e braids of heavy hair until, loosened, the strands whipped about her head, a tangled mass of stinging lashes. She w a s alone, drawn into the maelstrom of the maddened element—alone with the fury of the desert s t o r m - alone In the awful darkness it wrapped about her, the darkness of the strange storm and the darkness of the coming n i g h t The frightened, furious horse beneath her terrified her less than the weird, rainless storm that had so swiftly slipped in between her and Mesquite, carrying her away Into its unknown domain. Where was he? Aside from the mastering fear that was gaining upon her, spite of her struggle for courage, was a consciousness that more than all else—more than every one else in the world—It was Mesquite she wanted. Had an army ridden down to her rescue she would have turned away from them all to reach out her arms to the boy vaquero. Perhaps It was because she had seen fa!s marvelous feats of daring in the saddle, for Mesquite w a s the star rider of the range, and she felt Instinctively that he could help a s none ethers. Perhaps it was because oTThe past days that nad so drawn him toward her. Porhapr and most probably H w a s because he had but Just been at nor side.

Still there was no reply. Mesqulte led the horses away, and Miss Glendower turned and went into the house. Being merely an uneducated cowboy, he was remiss In p a n y matters of courtesy. • e a e a e a e When Lawrence Irving arrived at the Madison ranch, his host, in the list of entertainment he was offering the Bostonian, promised an exhibition of broncho riding that should stir even the beat of that serene gentleman's well regulated pulse. * "This morning," said he, "I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to get my star broncho buster out for your edification, Lawrence, for tho boys are telling me that he's been 'hitting the Jug* pretty lively dowu at the store for the past 24 hours, and he's never been much of a drinker, either, but when I told him Miss Glendower wanted to show you the convolutions of a bucking horse it seemed to sober him up a Vit and he not only promised to furnish the thrills, but to do the business up with all the trimmings, for he's going to ride Sobrepaso, the man killer/ a big, blaze fade sorrel that every vaquero tu the country has given up Unconquered.

So quickly an his left foot touched the stirrup there was the sweep of a long leg thrown across the saddle, a sinuous awing into place, the blind whipped up from the bloodshot eyes, the spurred heels grip on the clneha, a shout from the man, a devilish sound from the mustang, and Hesquit* was ready for the maddened: horse's first upward leap as he went blindly fighting hie way around and around the inclosure. Mesqulte sat the infuriated animal as though he himself were put a part of the "man killer." His seat was superb. Miss Glendower felt a tremor of pride stir her as she watched blm, that her lover should witness tBfs matchless horsemanship. She was panting between fear and delight while she watched the boy's face, wearing the sweet boyish smile, like, yet so unlike, the smile she had come to know in the past weeks, and the yellow curia blowing back from the bared forehead. Sobrepaso rose in his leaps to great heights, almost falling backward, to plunge forward again, with squeals of rage that he could not unseat his rider. The boy sat there, a king—king of bis own little world—while he slapped at his horse's head and withers with the sombrero that swung in his hand. Plunging and leaping, around and around, now here and now there; about the inclosure they went, the horse a mad hurricane and bis rider a centaur. Mesqulte was swayed back and forth, to and fro, but no surge could unseat him. 4Mlss Glendower grew warm In ber joy of bim as she looked. Then as the "man killer" gave another great upward leap the pistol, swinging from Mesquite's belt, was H . . . . r . , #»„— Iti, hnlnfm., «nrt P a i r i n g [ the cantle as It fell, there was a cloudlike puff, not from the dust raised by beating hoofs, and a sound, not the terrible sound of a maddened horse, and the boy swayed backward with the boyish smile still on his lips and the wet yellow curls blowing back from a white forehead that would grow whiter, e * a * * * a Miss Glendower did not faint: neither did she scream. She was one with her emotions held always well in hand, and she expressed the proper amount of regret the occasion required, shuddering a little over its horror. But to this day —and she is Mrs. Lawrence Irving now —she cannot look quite steadily at a big red star that sometimes burns in the west at early eve, and the scent of tuberoses or jasmine or syringe makes ber deathly sick.—Argonaut T h e Advertiser s a y s that horses hitched on the s t r e e t s of H o l l y this winter will have t o b e properly blanketed o r t h e v i l l a g e marahalLaAllJhe^si^ t h e _ ^ U n k ety b t o k j w T e t c h e s w h o leave t h e poor animal exposed to the elem e n t s without any covering.

Them Blakes are very possessive people." "And Harvey—does he approve?" "He'd approve of anything that pleases his adoring wife.' The way she goes on over him is just sickening. And the girls, too, make an awful fuss. It's Brother Harvey here and Brother Harvey there from morn till night They treat him as the head of the family, and he's boyish enough to be tickled to death by their flattering ways." Gladys sighed. "I'm afraid it will be very hard for me to right matters. Phebe.

I am almost as well as 1 was before my illness." "That isn't it, Miss Gladys, but you see—well—the room isn't ready for you," Phebe blurted out "Not ready? What do you mean?" Then, as a sudden suspicion flashed across her mind, she asked sharply, "Surely Helen has not interfered with my own private parlor?" "She's done just that, and given it to her sisters as a sort of day nursery and sewing room.

If you insist on having your mom——" 1 _ small the bills areT* : " ""'" Still Gladys did not speak, but merely looked at him attentively. "Nell wished me to tell you this, and beg that you will not interfere with her arrangements now that they are made. She has carefully considered them, and is convinced—and I'm with her there, madam—that she has acteJ for the best in all thtng3. She really has wonderful judgment, and you may safely tru3t her with the management of the house." "'Still harping on my daughter!'" quoted Gladys with s laint smile. She felt she must remain sllejat no longer, since silence meant acquiescence; yet she might be displeased. "I have no dout Helen has done her best, and I am grateful to her for relieving Phebe during my illness. But now that I am nearly well, dear, my old housekeeper will of course resume her position." Harrey dropped the hand with which he had been toying so suddenly that the movement seemed like a repulse. "I hope you don't mean that. Nell will be greatly disappointed and hurt If you push -her aside. She takes genuine pride in the management. And, really, it seems fitting she should have It" "Is Annette among the servants who were sent away?" asked Gladys. "I have not seen_her since my illness."__ "Yes. She was the first to go. You had no need for her while Phebe was with you." "But, my dear, I've had a maid all my life; I can't do without one. And I like Annette; she hae*been with me •or years." Gladys looked like a grieved child. !ibe was too weak to assert herself, and felt atraagely helpless. Phebe, who had just re-entered the room, gave her a significant look. "You musn't talk too much, Miss Gladys. You've been with your mother long enough, Mr. Harvey. I hope you haven't troubled her with business," "Only with what was necessary/' he returned, rising with an air of relief, for he had not enjoyed his office. He bent over Gladys and kissed bar.

CHAPTER VL Gladys was pale with wrath.- To men, her excitement would have seemed wholly disproportionate to its cause; but women, to whom their intimate belongings are always a part of themselves, will understand her sensations. She could have borne a personal attack as easily as this upon her Lares and Penates. Phebe bad never before known her to be so angry, and was startled by the passionate demonstration. She demanded that Harvey should be sent to her the minute be returned from business, nor would she be persuaded to wait till she f .cooler. When be came, marveling at the Imperative sumsaoas. aba mat bin with reproaches, aad censured Helen unsparingly for her Insolent iaterfer- 1 enee.

"I told yon once before 1 would not W i e v baa bee* actuated by tbeJsl&eV "I do insist upon it" "Then yon must settle the matter with Helen and see what is to be done about the girls. Women always find a way out of these little difficulties." Harvey spoke is if the affair was of slight Importance, but he did not meet Gladys' steady look, evading, it by producing a cigar. "You don't mind my lighting up before I go?" "Harvey, be warned," said Gladys, seriously. "If you leave me to deal with Helen you may regret it. I ask you to arrange this matter quietly, but immediately. If you refuse to do so, you must accept the consequences." "I am not afraid of any you may Itratt A-ThcatrovMIflaaapolls,lliwi."

On the rare occasions when Gladys had persuaded herself that he needed corporal punishment as a boy, she entrusted the task to the stern housekeeper, who performed it safsAthTotty that for an hour afterward the mother and son sobbed in each other's arms, with much that was traitorous to the dispenser of justice in the tears of both. Now, when Phebe spoke with quiet authority, though fuming with anger, and surprised beyond measure, it never occurred to him to resist her, and in alienee they left the room together. * They came merrily down the path leading past her window, a handsome J pair in the glow of their strength and youth.

His many friends, inside the Order and outside of its ranks, were, therefore, much startled to learn that hie life was in danger, he having Bright's Disease, that moat terrible and fatal diaeaae. _ — — Mr. Rush, however, made a grand struggle for his life, taking prescriptions, and pills and powaers, until his stomach refused food. At last, his local druggist, guided by the numerous inquiries being made at his store for Dodd's Kidney Pills, advised Mr. Rush to buy and try some. This he did, and to his delight he was restored to health and strength. Mr. Rush says that after commencing the use of Dodd's Kidney Pills, he felt much better, but it took two months to effect a cure. "I took nothing else but Dodd's Kidney Pills during that time, so I know that I owe life and health to What this wonderful remedy has done for Mr. Rush, it will certainly do for anyone.

At the time when Mont' gomery street had only one side, being In reality the beach, the bay of San Francisco was crowded with all sorts of ehips lying, idle for the simple reason that all hands and the cook had skipped out for Sutter's Fort and the mines. It was Impossible to get the ships discharged. Men would never, consent te ue stevedores on the beach when they could be millionaires at the mines. That is why many of the cargoes were never hrnarhefl eTPept When that had ever floated ' When this nrajt building went Into decay a«& was condemned, the old ship waa fouhd to be the soundest part of ft alt Bot It was burled still deeper by the foundations' of the large and for that time modera; building that took Its place.

No argonaut would respect himself If he could not tell of the time when he saw the streets along the water front paved with plug tobacco in boxes. One of this fleet, abandoned and derelict at her anchors, the good ship Niantic, parted her cables in one of the stiff winds for which the Golden Gate Is notorious, drifted ashore on the mud flat at the foot of Clay street and found a convenient and sticky berth about a hundred yards offshore on the line of the present Sansome street The underwriters paid the loss, for at the current rate of wages and the absence of labor it would have cost half -|-a dozen times her worth to get her off, and even then she would be of no use without sailors. Having paid the loss, the underwriters in turn abandoned her and probably felt in luck that they were not called upon by some own^r of real estate to take the ship away. The presence of the ship aided t')e silting up of the mud flat and in.a short time it was awash only at high tide and finally dry all day long. Then it was recognized that tbis was a new addition to the front of the city, and some business man took possession of the ship and made It over into a warehouse. The vessel was sonnd in every timber, spars all standing and sails on the yards, the hold as tight as a drum, and if she did make as much as a foot a month it was only a short trick at the oumos to clear it put ,In, fact The Kins «aS the R«*» Among stories of the late King Humbert told by the Roman correspopdent of the Frankfurter Zeltung we read: ' "He is not like a king," said the president of a half socialist trades umbn.

Heavy Traflie Harts RAMIB. There is great fear leat the stone road system of Bay county will be destroyed. The heavy rains of this fall and the immense traffic of sugar beet wagons have combined in cutting the roads so badly that they are now almost impassable for large loads. The farmers overstepped the. bounds of good judgment in the hauling of beets, drawing two toads from their farms over the dirt roods to a stone highway and then making one load of the two, to be taken tc£the sugar factories. The annual tax levy for the purpose of extensions and repairs will not be sufficient to keep the roads in condition unless some restriction is placed upon the farmers in the way of wide tires and smaller loads.

Naturally she found If hard to acknowledge herself in the wrong; but the, acknowledgement would surely come, and when it did, even though late, they must receive it very kindly and generously, Helen told Haiyey, witb the air of a very good person magnanimous enough to pardon a very bad one. IJelen, however, was not afraid of Tomlinson, nor of any living being. To do her Justice she had thoroughly persuaded herself she was doing her duty, and thus grounded, flatly refused to surrender the keys. "When I have g)ven an account of my Stewardship to Mrs. Atherton," she said, "I ant sure ehe will give them into no hand but her own. Lam ready to see ber at any time." "My mistress isn't strong enough to talk business just yet," said Phebe, hastily, "As for the keys, I'm not parr ticular for a week or so. I can't be much about the house until she is well on her feet again. The thing I am particular about Is to get ber parlor ready for her right away, and I Want every servant in the bouse to help me."

"Did you not explain this to your xnothet\ Harvey ?>" 4 /'Fully; but my arguments failed to carry weight," he answered with as eumed lightness, hoping to win Helen to a less determined mood. He knew Phebe better than she did, and feared serious trouble if the housekeeper was defied. "I think we must try and do what the mater asks, sweetheart. She 1s seldom exacting, and the fancies of an Invalid should be humored." "I have no* patience witb sick fancies; they are born of weakness that should not be encouraged.

I wonder at you, Harvey, for encouraging her in such selfishness.** **Uh, well, well, don't let us Quarrel oyer anything so trifling. No doubt tomorrow will be soon enough to think about it." he hastily replied, slipping bis arm about her shoulders and drawing her to him. She gazed affectionately into his face and put up ber band to meet fete, her frown gone. He looked at Khebe, smiling persuasively. "I'm afraafl this wilful girl must have 3 What; HaveW.De«Bert?

Was she never again to be loved and loving? CHAPTER VIII. One morning a letter arrived from Mrs Leonard. Gladys read it carefully several times, then lay back in her chair to muse on its contents. All that day and the next—the Sabbath—sbo was very thoughtful, and in the afternoon, having had a long talk with Phebe, summoned Harvey to her room. His answer was a curt note: "When you have sent for my wife &nd apologized for the Insult offered to her and her sisters I will see you again —•not before. Meanwhile, it is only fair id warn you that I shall resist any Interference with Mrs. Athefton's plans through a third party, being convinced that She is serving your Interests and ours in the course she is pursuing. Gladys laughed sadly at the mannish assumption of the letter. Helen bad rather an imposing style, she admitted. She could scarcely believe that the wtiter was her once obedient son.

The origin of the legend is a s follows: Langvortb, queen of Strathclyde, lost a ring given to her by her husband, King Hederech, and he threatened'to take her life for her carelessness. The queen asked Saint Ifungo for help, and be ordered a fisherman to cast^hi* net into the Clyde. The fisherman did a s he was ordered, and brought up a salmon with a ring i n his month.

I t was the place where Napoleon stood and looked upon the city which h e was about to capture. His army had been In long marches and awful .fights and fearful juhauatioasr and when they came to Sparrow hill the shout went up from tens of. thousands of voices, "Moscow, Meseow!" I der not wonder at the transport, A ridge of bills sweeps round the city. A river aemiclrcles it w i t h ^ U i a a £ « * J* i% spectacle that you place in yonr mam ory as one of three or four most beautiful scenes in all the earth. Napoleon's army marched on it In four divisions, four overwhelming torrents of valor and pomp. Down Sparrow hill and through the beautiful valley and across the bridges and into the palaces, shot of resistance because the avalanche of troops was irresistible. There is the room in which Napoleon slept; and his pillow, which must have been very uneasy, for ob, how short his stay! Fires kindled in all parts of the city simultaneously drove out that army into the snowstorms under which 95,000 men perished. How soon did triumphal march turn into horrible demolition. Today, while I spe&kV we come o n a high hill, a glorious hill of Christian anticipation. These hosts of God. have bud a long march, and fearful battles and defeats have again and again mingled with the victories, but today we come in sight of the great city, the capital of the universe,. the residence of the King, and t h e home of those who are to,-reign with h i m for ever and ever. Look at the tower* and hear them ring with eternal Jubilee. Look at the house of many mansions, where many of our loved ones -are. Behold the streets of burnished gold and hear the rumble of t h e chariots of those who are more thtfn conqueror*. So far from being driven back, Mr the twelve gates are wide open for' bur entrance.

After having tor years considered only others, she now thought little of anything save herself, and the plans, lately decided upon, that would perhaps revolutionize her life, and she and her two servants were busy every hour that she might the sooner carry them out. 'Slighted dove will enable any proud woman to free herself from a bondage of the affections, and Gladys was harder in her pride than most, for her character was not free from an alloy of vanity. After a few days of unrestrained grief, she rose, one morning, pale but cheerful, resolved to cast Harvey from the innermost shrine of her heart, and give- him the place he had voluntarily chosen. From that moment life took on a new aspect for her, and slowly, but surely, the past began to recede into the night of things forgotten. In the flush or her new hopes and schemes she seemed more like the girl of old than she had for years. She laughed and sang, and darted about her rooms like a humming bird, Phebe said, delight in her eyes. She could not understand the suddenness and the completeness of the change; there was no mercury in honest Tomlinson's mental make up; but she dimly comprehended that after an age of self-suppression Gladys' free self was coming to the surface, and a new era of feeling had begun. One day Helen received the long-ex? pected summons to Mrs. Atherton's room. She was glad it had come at last; nothing would be gained by idle talk, but when everything was explained and definitely understood, life would be pleasanter for all concerned. Harvey missed his mother, and for policy's sake a reconciliation was deslrable; It could be easily effected, now that Gladys had Indicated a wish to come to terms. And she obeyed the summons promptly, determined to bring1 the Interview to a successful issue as soon as possible. She expected to find Mrs. Atherton pale and weak, with the inertia of an invalid; but Gladys' convalescence had been rapid, and she looked even better than she had before her illness. She was fully dressed, and Annette had arranged her hair in the latest style, which chanced to be especially becoming to her delicate beauty. Even Helen felt that it was absurd to affect to consider this radiant woman feeble or incapabale. "I was not prepared to find yoa so well,** she said rather awkwardly, when the greetings were over. "No? Oh, I am quite myself again; the rest has done me good, and sneoothed away incipient wrinkles," answered Gladys. Her tone was conrentlbnai, as if she addressed an acquaintance. "I suppose you know why I have sent for you?' An old feeling of doubt kept Helen silent. She was no longer sure that she did know. This fashionably dressed woman, with the superficial cordiality of manner that holds others aloof more surely than the coldest reserve, seemed a stranger to her. She felt she was not of her world, and the thought gave her an uncomfortable sense of Insecurity. "There seems to be a little difficulty about the household keys," Gladys resumed. "I understand that you wish to deliver them to me In person." "Tea, if you have fully decided to claim them," sai*V Helen, quickly. "But I hope, as does my husband, that you will leave them In my hands. I am sure you will approve of my methods if you take the trouble to look into them." . "1 detest petty details, as you know. Ton have bean very kind to interest yourself in my affairs during my illness,' and" I hope you will oblige me further by accepting this check for tVW'Gltdys carelessly pushed the bit- of evil in her to the surface. "No doubt you reason correctly from your point of view, but you are not informed concerning the facts," she said calmly. "To return to the matter in hand, It is absolutely necessary for Tomlinson to have the keys, because I am going to New York immediately, and there is packing to be done." "Going to New York?" Helen almost, gasped in her surprise. "Isn't the decision very sudden?" "Yes. It was made on the day Harvey wrote me that note-^you of course remember it." The two looked at each other full, each reading the thoughts of the other. "I should probably have gone eventually, however, for life is too quiet for me here, and I want to enter society again." •'Then your visit will be a long one?" "I hardly know when I shall return." Helen looked relieved. "In that case, we need not go into anything that is past If you are going away, the changes I have made in the establishment—and believe me, I intended them for the best—will no longer affect you." Gladys smiled, and A the smile troubled her daughter-in-law exceedingly. "You do not understand. The house will be closed when I go and the furniture sent after me. I do not care to keep up two establishments." "You intend to close the house!" Helen cried. "Yes. Saunders and his wife will have charge of it for the present. The other servants, to whom Tomlinson has been paying board wages during my illness—an unnecessary expense occasioned by your kind interest in my affairs—will go to the city with me or follow me there." —^Bo you mean ^to~say- that Phebe took the liberty of paying wages to the servants I discharged?" Helen demanded, her fine eyes blazing. "Oh, no—to the servants you dispensed with; she aid not recognise your right to discharge them. SO you see that instead of lessening my expenses by your considerate kindness, you materially increased them. Fortunately, it does not matter; I have plenty of ready money in hand." Nothing could be more careless than Gladys' tone. She spoke as though she had scarcely a passing interest in the subject discussed, and met Helen's amazed look with calm indifference. "I can hardly tell you how much all this surprises and shocks me," said the younger woman, after a pause. "It would have been only fair for Phebe to take me into her confidence, and so avoid such wicked waste." "Money is never wasted," said Gladys, in a languidly philosophical tone. "Wherever expended it does good to somebody. The spendthrift to always a benefactor, though he flsty not be his own. We are apt to.teJte a narrow view of this broad Q^eetton, and regard as wasted the good we do not individually enjoy. None the less it fulfills its mission somewhere* more worthily, perhaps, than Whom with us." Helen looked bewildered to near her butterfly talk in such wMe measure. There was no room hi her neatly docketed brain for ee leOfe and impersonal a truth. She felt she was not keeping the upper IssasV at this Interview, so caredaliy arranged in advance, and said with less than her customary assareace:. "I can't believe yeejgreally Intend to shut up the heneh,-^Mrs, Atherton. What is to heeeeaewf Harvey?" "Oh, my friend,!leave*him in your hands; yon IstyO shown yourself so well able to mejnage his affairs that I shall not*?** offer a suggestion." Under the etrenmstances the words were erupt; h>ti hnere is a touch of the tiger in ffVfCPf woman outraged by ina' few weeks to superintend the pack* tag of the furniture and close thai house. By that time yon will be set-J tied somewhere. The furniture U' your own rooms and the nursery, with] Harvey's piano, books, pictures, easel, everything, in short, that he accumu-| lated during his boyhood and youth I regard as his1 and'Phebe will see) that it hi sent to yon. 1 think there; is nothing more to be arid.** [ A few moments of silence ensued;' then Helen said in a choked tone: s "So this is your revenge—this my; reward—" "Don't waste words" Gladys broke, in, "not talk fustian. I am only doing1 what I should have done when Harveyt married. I wanted to go to the city then; but I had a foolish idea that I was necessary to him, and to re-, mained. Now I And I am not necessary, and count for nothing in his life,! I intend to take myself out of i t " "A man should forsake all others and cleave to his wife," said Helen, piously. Do you know I fancy you worshipful wives construe that passage rather too literally?" said Gladys, in the half philosophical, half mocking' way Helen found new in her, and1 which held her at an impassable distance. "No one will deny that when a man marries a woman he should forsake all other strange women, and keep to the one he has chosen, or who has chosen him; But there is no reason why he should forsake his kindred of either sex. This Harvey seems ta have done, however, and he cannot complain when the forsaken follow his lead." "And is it possible that you have so little natural affection for your only son that you can coolly leave him to poverty while you, his mother, are rolling in wealth?" "Fustian again, Helen. Twelve hundred dollars a year is not poverty. In Rockville it is a competence. You are an excellent housekeeper; you managed your father's house on much less." The color deepened in Helen's face; ber father's limited means had always been a sore spot with her. Her good sense, however, told her that it would be unwise to lose her temper. "You will make Harvey an allowance? You surely do not expect us to live on his salary?" "I expect nothing; I advise nothing. I have not the right, for henceforth I shall do nothing unless he should come to real want, which is almost impossible. The events of the past year have convinced me that it is better for him to depend upon himself, and work for the money you both so much desire. With your help he may eventually become a rich man. At the worst, the struggle will be morally strengthening." There was no longer any indifference in Mrs. Atherton's tone. She spoke seriously, without anger, yet firmly, as one who through reasoning had reached a just and unalterable decision. "It is true I have money enough and to spare. But the lonely days I have endured since Harvey's marriage have suggested a probability long ago discarded— that of my own. In view of it, you can readily understand why, evqn were there no other reason. I prefer to keep control of my property." Helen's face was a study. Gladys' arguments were unanswerable, but she could not. would not, believe that her own cause was lost. "I will bring Harvey to you," she said faintly. "This affair cannot be settled between you and me. There are other things to be considered." "Do as you please; but my resolve, precipitated by your own action, is taken. However, as I leave early in the morning, perhaps I'd better bid my son good-by tonight. There is no need of your being present at the interview. I prefer to see him alone." "That you may poison his mind against me?" cried Helen, instantly on the defensive. "No, Mrs. Atherton, I will not trust you with my dear husband. God, who reads all hearts, knows I have tried to do my duty only. That I have blundered is because I have been treacherously dealt with. But I will fight for his rights to the last" "Be careful; you know not what you may do," replied Gladys, earnestly. "I will, at least, try to undo the evil I have done," said Helen, a break in her voice, and then she was gone, and Gladys, w4th a fluttering heart, awaited her return with Harvey. A great dread was upon her; she felt that the hour she had foreseen all her life was near at hand, and the sacrifice of years had availed nothing. (To be continued.)

A newspaper whose columns overflow with ads of buisness men has more influence in attracting attention to and building up a city or town than any other agency that can be employed. People go where tnere is business. Capital and labor will locate where ther is an enterprisiug community.

T h e One T h a t W i l l S u r e l y B e a t F a r o a n d R o u l e t t e . "Every confirmed gambler in the world has spent more or less time trying to figure out some system to beat the game," said a well known northern sporting man. "The commonest and most plausible scheme is the one known as 'progression.' It is simply a don> bling of bets until a winning occurs, and theoretically it is perfect, but the trouble is that all gambling games have a limit, and the doubling process increases a wager with such enormous rapidity that it is apt to get over the stipulated amount before the winning takes place. UI was at Monte Carlo laat spring," continued the speaker, "and was surprised at the number of touts who infested- the grounds peddling 'sure thing* systems to break the bank. The ludicrous part of it was that most of the peddlers were seedy and poverty stricken in appearance, yet they purported to. sell secrets which would Infallibly enrich any purchaser. I asked one fellow why he didn't try bis system himself and buy a new bat, and he replied very glibly that he was •working for a syndicate' and under bonds not to play. "Nearly all of these systems are based on progression and would be impossible in high play owing to the casino limit. Nevertheless I saw a number of small progression players at the tables and was told .that they have been a fixture there fir many years. They were nearly all horrible looking, bloodless old women, who began with the smallest possible wager and quit when they won 20 frnnofi, or less than $4. A house official informed me that they were tolerated about the place on account of age and, infirmity and that their dally winnings were regarded in the light of a pension. I n the days of open gambling In New Orleans 1 remember there used to be several broken down sftorts who were said to make a living off the games by ^progression playing,' I have my doubta about It however.

P. C. there came seven knocks on that empty cider bar'l. and as I stood there shakin I heard a whispered voice a-sayln, 'Manner Gallup, git ready to be an angel!' It was my summons, and I've got to go. Nobody kin hold back ag'in a summons. What kind of a second wife shall you marry. Samuel?" Mr. Gallup had paused in his labors and was looking absently at; a robin in a cherry tree. "You needn't feel at all delikit about talkin it over with me." said Mrs. Gallup as she dabbed at her eyes with the apron. "I've alius s'pected you'd git married ag'in if I should die, and I shan't howl and squeal avout it. Mrs. Bebee says If her husband marries ag'in she'll haunt him, but you needn't be afraid of me. I'd rutlier you married ag'in. If you didn't, you'd be goin to circuses and dogfights and candy pulls and become as wicked as Silas Johnson. S'pose you've kinder had your eye out, hev'n't you, Samuel— that Is, you've kinder made up your mind about what sort of a you'd, man ;r ?" Mr. Gallup withdrew his gaze from the rob!u and returned to his work of sharpening the sickle, and Mrs. Gnl- | lup's nose had grown very red with the i pulling when she continued: j "There's the Widder Lapliam. Sara- \ uel, and everybody says she's wuth ! $2,000, but 1 wouldn't want you to mari ry her. She's too hlty tlty for a man i of youY age. While she was swingin j hi a hammock she'd let the bn nd burn i up in the oven.

She rose up with a sob and retreated Into the house, but Mr. Gallup knew nothing of i t He hung the sickle on a nail near the door, put the whetstone and tacks on a shelf in the wood shed, and ther> walked down the path and closed the henhouse door and cast a j look into the pig pen. When he re-1 turned to the house. Mrs. Gallup was i lookiug at her bowl of emptyings under the stove and humming the air of "I Want to Be an Angel."

In the card room the tables, the domino set*; chessmen and packs of cards rested undisturbed; no noise of the clicking billiard balls from the room upstairs or of rumbling spheres in the tenpin alley below toated np toward the office, the reception room and the library on the main floor.

Judge Clifford Smith of Cedar Falls, *a», holds that good citizens are needed more in this country than mere voters. Therefore he refused to grant naturalisation papers to several foreigners who came before him because they were unable to understand some simple ques- - tlons which he-put to-them.None of them could either read or write English, and the Judge told them that he did not think they were aa yet ready for citizenship. telling the hour of eight, when down the main stairs stepped Wilder WIN kins, a bachelor, a man of the world, a millionaire and a cynic. "Was your dinner all right, Mr. Wllklns?" asked, the office man, and the club member's answer as he passed through toward the reading room was: ^'Very good, indeed." Wtlkins sat st one of theta/Mes, and picking up a paper imagined that he was reading, but his delusion was broken within a minute by his arising and looking through a window into the brilliantly lighted street. "There's life enough out there," he murmured to himself, as he turned in a tired sort of wis; and looked in a hopeless fashion at the various portraits on the walls. Then he returned to the reading tables and lighting a cigar affected deep Interest in a book he had taken up. "It's mighty strange," said he, after a pause, "that a mere sentiment can send dosens of srdlnarlly good fellows sat upon the floor an* smiled grin>ly as he passed a somewhat harsh estimate a* to his own character. _'*Weiv» he finally observed, as he arose to his fast, "I'll Just go out .and get good and drunk in earnest No imitations for me," and then he walked toward the window that opened into the' bustling street Directly opposite, and on the same level with Wllklns' apartments, were the central office*) o£ the telephone company, and as he looked across he saw the harnessed heads of halff a hundred or more of the hello girts. With his own room dark he felt justified in boldly studying the busy picture before him. As he looked, he thought of the dividends he received regularly from the telephone stock he owned and then reached the conclusion7 that he was entitled: tcFfcnow something of the details of the business. And so, forgetting his resolution to. make a night of it, he wondered as to the wages paid to the girls, and then, dreamily tapping- his lingers against the pane, he reached the conclusion that "the world is living altogether too fast, our impetus is too great; we have no time to be ; - , k » * » y A recommendation of the recent Par- Is conference on international copyright is that no modification of an author's work shall be made without his —consent—Is not this principle morally binding after an author's death? The rapid multiplication of denominational hymn-books has led compilers so materially to alter the verses used that they often express opposite tenets from offense to attach an author's name to a hymn so altered. It's rank nonsense to presume that a man can't love a woman just as well If she is the daughter of a roilllonaire as If she were only a saleswoman, and just as aliiy, too, to think a woman cant be As devoted to a man with a title as to one who is a motorman, for instance.

Then he threw away his half consumed cigar and with the strength of a firm resolution made his way to the card room, where for half an hour or more he applied hlmsetf- to solitaire. "That beats the record," he said, thriving down his cards and looking at his watch. "Half-past nine o'clock and not a soul has entered the place. PresentlyIwflTTajr something irarshr about Christmas." At this juncture his eye caught a new lot of notices on the club bulletin and stepping serosa the roam he studied them, now and then offering comments unfavorable upon what he had read. even decent toward each otheri we grind ourselves and crush others and—-" •The sentence was never finished, because WUkins walked slowly back to his bed, and within ten minutes was sleeping peacefully. Early the following morning the bachelor millionaire and cynic visited the office of the telephone company and was busy for nearly an hour with the managers and a stenographer, men, taking a coupe, he was driven to the markets, the dry goods stores, and department stores and elsewhere, and on the morning of Christmas every one of the girls in the service of the telephone company received the "Compliments of the Telephone Co/1 attached to a large turkey which rested across two large boxes, the One being filled with groceries and the other containing a fine four-button coat and various smaller articles, such as gloves, handkerchiefs and the like.

'Along tit* country roads the trees wrung their hands in frightful agoay, and there was no sect or nobility beyond the reach and comfort of the plebeian earmuff. A veil across the nose didn't go ao bad early in the morning on the way to the turkey raffle. The Christmas shooting match was reached through banks of ethereal frosts, and before 10 o'clock In the morning the snow had been swept from thsjulU pond. Tne beeches popped like the ring of a patrolman's mace against a metal lamp post. On either side of Old Sol sat a "son dor" and the stalactite was a fixture beneath Grandfather's mustache. No man stood in danger of. losing his Ufa by asking hU neighbor If it was cold enough for him. for it <was a pleasure in those days to be plain and perpetuate both the virtues and the established wit of the human family. By this time of the year the cattle had been comfortably weathered in, tbs poultry had been housed and the winter wood was beyond the reach of the trusts. The nude form of the rabbit lay frosen-^upon the woodshed; and the spelling bee as well as the husking fete were not to be despised. A woolen comfort around the neck was better than a rope, and fire crackers were a luxury not to be scoffed at. In those olden golden days a red* candy fish couldn't get so near the foot of the Christmas stocking as to make Its digestion difficult, while the jackin- the-box never failed to please.

All of which is apropos of the wedding of Miss Zimmerman with the dixkB of Manchester. S H e w Hagemeister, treasurer of the Wisconsia Brewers' association, says beer-drinking is on the decrease in the state. The dajra of- fortune-making in breweries has passed, and several large establishments now fall to return a fair percentage on the money Invested. This condition has been brought about in large measure by increased consumption in homes. When people drink toeer at home," says Mr. -Hagemelster, "they ere satisfied when thirst is appeased. In saloons the social or treating feature makes them drink a great deal more. The result to the brewer can be easily understood." :,*. W' A ' : i > . ! The album habit is so strong and its expressions are so varied that little wonder ought to be felt at an account of an album in which a young woman has placed a piece of each gown she has bought, and has noted on the page the date of purchase and the time when the garment was last worn. The 9rice also is attached, both as an encouragement and a warning, it is to be •apposed. An observer of the other sex might suggest an enlargement of the album pages so as to include a summary of the miles traveled in selecting the dresses. There might be 'added aa estimate of the total of regrets that other patterns were not preferred or different fashionmgs ordered. Mo one, of course, would cloud the pages with surmises as to the aggregate of sighs of envy or whispers of criticism which each dress called into! being. > , Surfeited by this species of recreation he visited the coatroom, and when the boy who assisted him with hat and coat asked: "Are you going home so early, Mr. Wllklns?" he responded: Ton don't suppose I would stay in such a place as this when I have the alternative of going to bed, do you?" An hour later, utterly free from anything akin to appreciation of the elegance of his' apartments, and totally blind to the mellowness of the light of human Intercourse, Wilkins was In bed telling himself that he was an absolute idiot for having been born with the faculty of acquiring money, and scolding any man, himself in particular,who had judgment so poor as to favor his stomach in preference to his tired eyelids, his tired head and hl8 tire£. heart. / He simply could not sleep, and he found himself listening to the rustle of the pillow beneath his head as he tried to formulate the intangible patterns he seemed to see even though his eyes were closed.

At this he rolled over in bed, and pushing a clinched fist under his jaw, commanded: "Here, now, don't be a helpless imbecile, but go to sleep." And his answer wss a twinge in one of his feet so that his next task was the recovery of the loosened bedclothes. And then he went to sleep. That is to say, he thought he was asleep, and so ventured to discover himself on the outer circumference of a vast globe which was sailing swiftly through illimitable space, while, In a frensy of despair, he was keeping sis position on the whirling thing simply by force of bleeding fingers sad bruised and clinging legs set against the hard surface.

" VrrOing Out "Bxfil On:" The Japanese little folks know nothing of the mysterious joys of Christmastide, but the name of Hotel, a celebrated priest who was kind to children, signifies to the Japanese boys and girls, in a measure, what Santa Claus doss to young America. Hotel is represented with an immense sack, gathering good things for his young friends. He is said to have eyes In the back of his head and to be able to see around corners, thus finding out whether the little ones are good or naughty. The Japanese New Tear was formerly a movable festival like that of the Chinese, but it is now celebrated on a date corresponding to our first of January. This is a day of universal rejoicing with both old and young. The ceremony of mame-maki, bean throwing, is a leading feature in the preparation for this holiday. There i s a superstition prevalent among the Japanese that there may be evil spirits in the house which must be driven out before the dawn of the new year. Accordingly, on the last night of the,old year the house is swept and cleaned and the windows and doors are hung with ferns. Then the house father, arrayed in his very best clothes, goes through all the rooms, the little ones of the family, undismayed at the thought of possible hobgoblms, skipping gayly after him. He has provided himself with a quantity of dried beans and these he throws into the corners snd recesses, crying aloud: "Qui wa soto, fuku wa uchi." (Demons depart, good luck enter.) The young folks join joyfully in the cry, frolicking and laughing till the8tour of the house Is completed, and the horsed demons and other evil spirits—who are supposed to have a great aversion to beans—have made their escape through the open dooiv _— - ^ YARNALL INSTITUTElUiMniih, ahum FOR THE CURE OF Alcoholism -OR- Drunkenness Established in 1892.

I believe the state of Texas would offer greater inducements to the Boers than any other place. It is true there, are no public lands in Texas. When that state entered the union it reserved all its lands, and they are now known as school lands. They can be bought for from 31.25 to S2 an acre, with five years to pay ijt in.

They went to Stockbridge Wednesday night of tbis week, and we think that village could not help but enjoy the play, Railroad Jack blew into Fen ton last Saturday, and spent Sunday the guest of tbe Ministers' Borne, where he was nicely treated and made to feel that be was a welcome guest. He talked to everybody in public and private, where opportunity offered, and called on the Independent to inform us that the coming season he intended to take tbe road as an evangelist, with a gospel wagon. Jack bas discontinued bis hammocK business, and if he cannot get a ride inside a car, be walks—generally walks.—Independent Wltlle the man who tells about it was waiting for a train on a -branch line which connects with the main line at that place. Besides himself there were at the station a party of American tourists of the kind you read about In English books and an English family of the kind you read about in American books. The Americans were loud voiced and ungrammatical. They laugh' ed a great deal and they ate peaches, the stones of which they t&rew at a post to test their marksmanship. They were persons for whom Uncle Sam himself would have felt apologetic, and they displeased the haughty Britlsh materfamilias greatly. To the younger members of her family, a gawky boy and a lanky and "leggy" girl of the typical elongated English variety—they were objects of great interest, however, and the girl in particular edged nearer and nearer, to her mother's great disgust. At last she was so near that mamma could endure it no longer. "Clara!" she called in her loudest voice, "come away at Once. You might be mistaken for one of those disgusting Americans!" A pretty young American looked up and swept Clara from head to foot with a calm glance. Then she went on eating peaches. "Don't worry, madam," she called out cheerily. "There's no danger of that—with them feetl"—Washington Post Own Throw to First and Who Coal* Get Behind the Plate In l i n e to Cateh Hi* Own Pitchina-* •The fastest base runner I ever saw," said the fat ex-masdat of tbe Ljghtfoot Lilies in comparing baseball of the present with that of the old days, "was little Sa ramie Salmon of the Lilies. But the fastest base runner I ever heard of was, or wasn't as the case may have been, Steve Speed, who played, or who didn't play, I don't know which, with the Ringtail Hoarers. At any rate, whether he ever played with the Roarers or not, he was certainly the fastest that ever came over the crossways. You don't understand? Well. I'll tell you all about him. "One afternoon about a month before the last game we ever played with the Ringtail Roarers the boys were all sitting round in the postofflce discussing our chances for the big contest Captain Slugger Burrows, who was tending postofflce that day, was over In the corner reading the ball news in a Jones i was—if he was. bat.

The Courier got straight; from their own private high eourcs that this gay Speed was even, b#ttr thai the week before. He was new at super at the game that he not only ran down behind the plate and caught the balls that he pitched, but in ease the natter knocked a fly he darted out la the field and caught It himself* Tbe Roarers had, according to The Couriers released their whole outfield. When we read that, Bull Thompson wanted % cancel the game, but the Sluggerwouldn't hear of it The Lightfoot Lilies,' he said, 'may be made to look like tarbeel thistles, but we woa*t wither before we're picked.' ; "When the big game finally did come" off, the Roarers certainly had us on the run. For three innings they piled up runs almost at will. But then we began to get wise. Where was this fast running pbenom? Cy Priest was still in the pitcher's box, and the whole outfield seemed to be in their usual places. Perhaps he was sick. The thought gave us courage, and we began to pick up a bit You all know, bow we finally pulled the game out of the fire In the last half of the tenth. ThaTs a matter of history now. Well, after it was over the Slugger went up to Cy Priest "•Say." he asked. 'Where's tout hot base runner of yours, CyT "'You mean Steve Speed?' replied Cy, with a funny look In his eye. 'Oh. we couldn't pay the salary he demanded and bad to let him go. The last 1 beard of him he was touring the northwest, playlng^exhlbitlon games to enormous crowds.'

The healthful or reverse action of tobacco has been an absorbing question for decades and one" hard to settle. Emerson, cautious as he was, was once drawn Into a discussion on the subject and, being a nonuser of the weed, was an ardent advocate, of its abolition as a marketable commodity. "Did you ever think about the logic of stimulants?' he asked. "Nature supplies her own. It is astonishing what she will do if yon give ber a chance.

For heaven's sake, boys, listen to this: 'We have-it from a high source/ be'began to read breathlessly, 'that the Roarers have unearthed a phenomenal base runner, with whose services they feel confident of wresting the Jones county laurels from the erstwhile invincible Lightfoot Lilies. The newcomer's name is Steve Speed. His extraordinary ability was first discovered while he was-in-the box one day last week. He stopped an easy grounder and tossed it over to first to catch the runner. The ball had no sooner left his hand than, to his horror, he discovered that first was uncovered. Without a moment's hesitation he made a dive for the bag and succeeded in reaching It just in time to catch the ball that he had thrown but an instant before, thereby scoring a ly know.

The work began to show. At the end of the week we began to have some hopes of beating the Roarers after all.
