Blake has written Gov. Pingres rehearsing his troubles, stating the eaaoaht of his damage, as he figures it, sod intimating that the govennor •ought to aid him in an appeal to the legislature.

The cemetery trustees at Dowagiae ^endeavor to inaugurate a custom there which prevails in numerous other cities with very great success. The plan is to induce the owners of lots in the •eemetery to deposit 8100 with the .cemetery board, who will iu turn invest . the money in municipal bonds. At 6 per cent this investment would provide -an income of 96 per year, which amount the trustees would appropriate ananally and send to the investor a re- -eeipt in full for the special care of his •cemetery property. Thus all expenses would be paid for the lot owner by the mere deposit of 9100, which money would always remain the property of the depositor. »i uncial Yojte in Mlcblf-nD. The canvass ot the election returns i n the state was recently completed. The work has been delayed on account -of errors in the returns which had to be corrected. In some of the counties these were also errors in the names of >casWHdates as they were printed on the •official ballot, resulting in a large namber of votes being canvassed as scattering which were intended for regular party nominees. The canvass shows that President McKinley received 104,584 plurality in the state. The Populist candidate for President received 833, the Prohibition candidate 11,859, the Social*Democratic candidate 2,836, and the Socialist Labor 003. The plurality of Gov.-elect Bliss was 79,- 284. • More about Good Roads. Hark to this bit of wisdom from Editor Hubbeli, of the Marlette Leader, which ought to be indorsed by every farmer in Michigan: "There should be a genuine overhauling of road laws and methods in Michigan and some plan carried out that would do away with the semi-annual closing, up of trans* portation. The farmer loses more every year in increased expense of getting to market than good roads would cost him, and the business man's loss is fully as much. A law that would compel the building of roads by contract and do away with the road work farce should be welcomed." but many exposures. Another gas well was struck at Royal Oak on the ^fcb»- '.

Gov. Pingree gave a banquet at the capitol building on the sight of the 18th, that surpassed all previous occasions. Between 300 and 400 guests were present. The feast cost the governor 55,000. There is a possibility that Midland may lose the big Dow' chemical plant now located there, and the business men are hustling their liveliest to induce the proprietors not to remove from the village. Farmers around Elk ton who raised sugar beets the past summer are highly pleased with the results, and many of them will double, their acreage next year. Some of the farmers have realized over $100 per acre, Edward Warner, Anna Pelkey and Will Baxter, of Plymouth, became discouraged on the 6 th, and thought life not worth living. They resorted to suicide. Warner is dead and Baxter and Miss Pelkey may recover. The Schwabach Garment Co., Niles, composed of local capitalists and organized about a year ago, shut down on the 12th, throwing about 50 people out of employment. The suspension is for an indefinite period. Considerable satisfaction is expressed among the farmers in the vicinity of Ashley over the outcome of their sugar beet crops this year. Robert Kerr, a farmer living near that place, realized a profit of 976 off 1 % acres of the roots and others have done as well Olivet college library has an invested endowment fund of 915,000. This makes it one of the best endowed college libraries in Michigan, and enables it to keep abreast of the times in latest valuable publications. Some rare and costly books have been added this term. There has beets considerable talk at Saline of organising a hand, but it never seemed to get any further than just talk. Thekideof the village finally got togetherv acted instead of talking, and organized a band. They are confident that they will be able to turn out good music before the older folks get beyond the talking stage. Three years ago Jerome W. Jordan, of Battle Creek, disappeared, neglecting to leave his address for his wife. She secured a divorce and resumed- her maiden name, Miss Emma Beckley. Two weeks ago he returned from the Klondike, a wealthy man, but, finding himself minus a wife, wooed and won Miss Beckley, and on the 10th they were married again. Jos. B.

A Very Bold Deed. A bold robbery on the Cotton Belt **ailwsy occurred at Bassetts, Tex, 30 miles south of Tesarkana, on the 13th, on the train coming north, in which Postal Clerk John N. Dennis was almost killed and the mail pouches of his car rifled of their contents. The amount stolen is not known. C H I N A W A R N E W S . eoufert>:l?;: It is now dawning upon the German press and public that Mr. Hay, the American secretary of state," has secured arrout aud out diplomatic victory in;obli|rfng the powers, Germany included, to yield to his arguments in favor of more moderate terms in the preliminary joint note to the Chinese peace plenipotentiaries. This clearly defined defeat is especially bitter at Berlin, because Emperor William had set his heart on imposing the most humiliating conditions upon upon the Chinese and thus emphasizing Ger» many Vpwer in^Jfcbeir eyes. Definite instructions supplementing a communication from London on the 15th, have been received by Sir Ernest Mason Satow, the British minister, and he now demands a modification of a point in the* joint note which the j foreign envoys-generally regard as im- ^|x>rtant. This means further delay, as all the ministers must communicate anew with their respective governmenta Just what is the nature of the objection raised by Great Britain the ministers decl'n^ to say, but they admit that the new demand will involve a good deal more diplomatic procedure.' The negotiations of the powers in regard to the joint China note were concluded ruttisfactorily on the 11th, all agreeing to to the conditions identically as outlined by Count von Buelow, tbe imperial chancellor of Germany, Nov. 19, with the exception of the introductory ^clause saying the demands are irrevocable, which is eliminated T R A N S V A A L W A R I T E M S . The following dispatch from Lord Kitchener, dated Dec 15, has been received: Five officers and 316 men, Magaliesberg prisoners, have been released. The Boers surrounded and captured 130 of Brabant's Horse in a defile in the Zastron district Col. Bloomfield, moving on Vryheid, defeated the Boers with heavy loss, driving them from Scheeper's nek and capturing a quantity of arms. The Scheeper's nek movement occurred December 13. The Boers who attacked Vryheid December 10 lost • luO killed and wounded before they retired. The fighting lasted all day. The British loss was 0 killed, ID wounded and 30 missing. Our casualties include two officers who died from their wounds. It is reported that President Steyn will soon go to Europe in seek of aid.

This doesn't necessarily mean that the appropriation will be made A single objection can defeat it for this session*,. More or less private pension bills have been introduced in the house sinee the session opened. With the great number of publio bills on tbe calendar there is very little hope of any of these new bills reaching a vote before the life of the present congress expiree, They of course will die with the *©»* sion. The President has approved'the lists submitted by the governor of Hawaii, of the sales and other dispositions of the publio domain, made by the^flajv, wailan governor, between July 7, 1898, and Sept. 86, 1898. The approval is made under section 73, of the act providing a government for Hawaii. Secretary of the Treasury Gage on the 13th sent to congress a letter recommending reciprocal- arrangements for steamship boiler inspector between the U. a and Canada. At present Canadian inspectors charge for inspecting American velsels. Americans- inspeot Canadian vessels free. The pension appropriation hill w e e completed on the 13th by the house sub-committee on appropriations having it in charge. It carries about ¢145,- 350,000. of which about $144,000,000 i s for pensions and the balance for administration. A treaty has been concluded between the U. 8. and[GreatBritain, amen< the extradition treaty. The changes; are trifling, the chief Item being to make an extraditable offense' of the obtaining of. money under false p r o tenses. * The centennial celebration of the removal to Washington from Philadelphia of the national capitol was appropriately celebrated at the former place on the 12th. Most all'of the governors i of the states-and territories participated. Wm. A, Smith, the Grand Rapida congressman, is working for appropriations for the harbors at Holland1 and Grand Haven.

"It 4s as well; I do not fear for your future.' You certainly have not suffered from my selfishness in the past" "Don't you think the less you say -about your past the better?" he asked, ejurrtstt beyond all prudence, all kiadnesaVby a burning sense of his wrongs. For a full minute they looked steadily at each others; her womanly intuition enabled J hef to read tha thoughts that owed their existence* to Hfelen, and her weakened affection for him seemed to fall dead. "It rifta-to-be » hnndredi" she said slowly, her face hard with acorn, "I will never forgive you for that insult, even though I know it orgfnated with the woman who has *o strangely perverted your moral ttature. Your wickedness and covatoasness deserve punnhmejiti nnd it has overtaken yon in the way you will teal most; for though you have no legal claim upon my money, I always intended ta provide lor you when you came of age, and should have carried out the Intention, hi spite of the fact that you married against my wish, had ;not your wife's character so soon revealed itself.

In keeping control of your prop* erty you may be right by law, hut you, are acting dishonestly none the less. So far I fully agree with my wife." With a low cry Gladys fell hack in her chair. As if waiting-for the signal, Phebe entered the room, a terrible old woman in her wrath. "I am going to tell them the truth, Miss Gladys, whether you forbid it or not," she defiantly announced. "As Mr. Harvey-says, this isn't the- time for pretending, and I gue^s we can settle the matter out of court" Gladys -put up a protesting hand, but she would not heed. "I'll make short work of it. You're wrong in thinking you have any sort of share in the mistress' property,, Mr. Harvey, because her father, Joseph Stirling, your grandsire, didn't own a dollar In i t He married twice—first a poor girl who died when her baby was horn; then a rich young heiress, who also died early in life leaving her money to her only child, Gladys, your aunt or half aunt; for you are the. son of the daughter of the first marriage." "My God! The mater is not my mother?" cried Harvey, after a stupefied pause. He sprang to his feet and gazed wildly from one face to the other, with the look of a man pierced to the heart. "Madam, madam, is this true?" he imploringly asked. Then, meeting Gladys' compassionate yet strangely cold look, with a half sob lie threw himself into chair and buried his face in his hands, never moving until Phebe had finally ceased speaking. Helen said nothing; her burning eyes were fixed on the housekeeper; she knew she told the truth, and that from the fair domain which had promised to be her garden of Eden, she was banished forever. "You know how your mother married. Mr. Stirling swore he would never forgive' her; but he was a Just man, and sent her the money she would have had when she came of age. It didn't last long. Twenty thousand dollars isn't much in the hands of a gambler. And when it was gone he went too." "Miss Gladys was at school when your, poor mother begged her way to New York, her baby in her arms.

It was Helen who brtfke the dreary pause. "You hated me from the first," she said in a voice uneven with rage, "and have well'calculated your revenge. You .know I would die for Harvey, and by making me the apparent medium of his downfall, you try to inflict upon me the most harrowing of punish; m«ntfl» But here you fail, Gladys Atherton, for it is yoji who have been his ruin. You have scorned me, not in words, perhaps, but with meaning looks, for having decoyed him into marriage before your appointed time. I know how you regard my peoplethat, too, your looks have told. And what are you, pray, with all your pride?

He was bad enough for anything, she said. I had a little money saved, and put you to board with a woman I knew. I always had it in my mind to tell the master some day; but he had a heart trouble and I daresn't do it. "I hadn't a chance to worry long, for in a few months after your motner died he fell dead in the street, without a moment's warning.

Phebe paused, overcome by sad memories. Gladys, unnerved by all that had passed, was crying, but not as the wholly desolate weep; she no longer strove to prevent her old friend from speaking. "*our mother's sorrows had Uft their mark on you, Mr. Harvey; you were a sad little tot, with mournful eyes and atlmorous manner. You ran to my dear young lady, attracted by her sweet voice, and-hid your face in her gown, and when we left they had to drag you away; we heard your screams as the carriage drove off, and Miss Gladys sobbed all the way home. After that, the idea of your growing up among strangers, with no one to love you—just considered for the money you brought mayhap—was terrible to her. We must take you far away to a corner in the west, where none would know us, and you'd be sate from your father. I begged her on my knees not to spoil' her life; but she coaxed and argued and cried till she got the better of me, and we left New York unhindered, her having no relations.'

She'll fet over ft. for . she's young yet But you've ^nade a strange return to her lor wasted years!" Not a word was spoken by either of the other three. Helen stole over to her husband and* timidly laid her hand on his shoulder. All self-confidence was gone from her bearing; she, seemed cowed and beaten; and for the first time her loving touch was unheeded. Phebe looked at her frowningly. "Ay, comfort him if you can; he'll have need of it" she said in a hard tone. "If he comes to ruin he may. thank you; but for your avarice and meddling he'd have had a good bit of money—a hundred thousand dollars, no less. He'll never have it now: Perhaps he'll not reproach you just yet for his loss, since he helped you out with the deviltry you called your duty. But he'll know it's to you he owes it—he wasn't full grown when you took him in hand, and easily led —and the thought will grow and grow untiLone- day-he'il^despise--youin_his heart, and turn from the love that dragged him down." As if that day had come, Helen moved nearer to her husband, the rich color ebbing, even from her lips. Gladys half rose. "Be merciful, Phebe," she gently remonstrated. "You are too hard. Go now, dear old friend; enough has been said." Muttering still, Phebe lumbered away, furtively wiping her eyes; under her bristling exterior beat a warm heart, and, despite her anger, she felt for Harvey in his hour of darkness. As the door closed behind her he raised his head, revealing* a—whiter'wTld face. "I must speak to my—-my aunt alone, Helen," he said hoarsely. "Leave us together."

Incrwwlns M t m b w of Poorly Developed Men and Women. It used to be that boys and men who worked had shorter working hours and less work to do in the same time than do the men and boys of today. Consequently they had better opportunities and greater inclination for recreation of the healthiest kind. They felt able to rise in the morning early enough for gymnastics, their work the day before not being so irksome as to make them feel they needed every moment of sleep possible, as is often the case nowadays, and in the late afternoons and evenings they could could enjoy an athletic game. The girls some years ago exerted much less than they do now, their course of study usually being mild in comparison to the average of today, and few of them were in business or the professions. Therefore their need was less for strengthening exer cises. Although the mental and physical work that the men and- women of this generation do has greatly increased they do not seem to have realized that a counteracting force is absolutely necessary for the number is growing larger every day. We cannot help observing it on the streets and everywhere—of men and women who slouch along with drooping figure and dragging steps, the picture of undeveloped physical manhood and woman- Amorlcfta Books In Mexico. 'Mexico buys more American books than does France, and nearly as many as Germany. Much of this trade Is due to the large resident American* population to be found in Mexican cities and to the demand from mining camps, where Americans are living, and not a little is due to the growing spread of English among the Mexican people.

The general sentiment seems to be that the legislature will not pass any equal taxation measure, but leave the matter to the next legislature. There seems to be BO question thai tlw» hoose wlU p**e the bllt but there is serious question as to what the senate will do. B*p., Cha*. a PblUipe, chairman of the eonunittee of the laet legislature, charged with an investigation of the expenditure of the S500»000 war fund, will ask that the bouse pass a resolution addressed to Gov. Pingree asking him to send a special message to the legislature asking for final action on the minority report of the committee, which was tabled at the last regular session. This will put the matter of covering up any further crookedness of the military board strictly up to the governor, and a refusal to grant the request will be construed as another attempt to cover up the guilt of former members of his military family. Sop. -elect Burns will go to the next session of the legislature loaded with a proposed amendment to the constitution limiting the governor's power to pardon. It is his idea to have a state pardon of three appointed, with an annual salary of 83,500 each, and a sixyear terqa, no pardon to be issued without the sanction of this board. The governor wilt have-power to review t the action of the board, but not to grant a pardon of his own account, It is said that Gov. Pingree was greeted with marked silence by the joint session of the legislature on the 12th. In the first place he set the time for meeting the joint session at 2 o'clock; the house adjourned until 1:45 to conform, but the senate adjourned until 2:45, causing the governor to wait 45 minutes at the pleasure of that body, a breach of courtesy before unheard of. Rep. Heinmann on the 13th introduced the Oren equal tax measure in the house. The bill, if made a law, will give the the state board of tax commissioners power to make annual assessments of the property of all railroad companies in the state at its true cash value, for the purpose of levying and collecting taxes .thereon. It is said the governor is thinking of sending in a special message, calling upon tbe legislature to pass a law providing that all courts and schools shall be run on standard time, and by sodoing proposes to adjust the local and stundnrd timei prbblemf if he ~can ^Bax& sentiment enough to warrant a message on tbe subject By a vote of 69 to 13 the blanket bill providing? for the taxation of railroads, union station and depot companies, express, telegraph and telephone companies, passed the house on the 14 th. This puts the measure up to the senate and all sorts of guessing is being done as to its ultimate fate. According to Rep. Dingley there was a movement started by house members on the day after White and Marsh were pardoned to have the present special session adjourned instanter upon convening,-,as a rebuke to Gov. Pingree. However, the scheme is wholly dead now. The governor's pardons have weakened his influence and given the opponents of the Atkinson bill a chance to shout They are discussed as much among the members of the legislature now as they were by the people on the day and the day after tbe pardons were granted. A poll of the state senators on the equal taxation bill on the 12th showed that 13 members, were openly opposed to pass the measure now; 3 were noncommittal, 7 were unheard from, and only 9 declared for immediate action.

The transverse court corresponding to the cross of the T, is the EsplaiAde. capable of accommodating 250.000 people. North of. this, corresponding with the perpendicular of the T, are the Court of Fountains and the Plaza, which reach almost to the northern limits of the grounds. On either side or the Couctof Fountains are the subordinate courts known as tbeCourt of Cypresses and Court of Lilies.

When a n alliance i s agreed upon, the bride and groom are brought together, and perhaps see each other for the first time. T h e bride playfully skips toward the groom and seats herself •jeside him. T h e priest ties a corner of the bride's veil t o the groom's shawl, and this simple proceeding makes them man and wife. ft: 4#. " :?<+> A young western attorney was recently asked why h e had so strenuously defended" a woman who could not pay him. "I can never forget,'-' he re-: plied, "that she lived at the end of my long paper route when I was a struggling college boy. More than once in winter her kind heart prompted her to rise very early to have a cup of hot coffee ready for her newsboy, fearing lest he might perish with the cold." Such acts defy commercial "repayment" as mttch as mother-love or sister influence. How does the old Persian poet put It? "In Time's fleeting river The image of that little ylne-leaf lay; Immovably unquiet, and forever It trembles, but it cannot pass away." ; ; / : • : &K -A •M Bfc A Paris newspaper gives the weight of certain European sovereigns.

His two texts are Revelation xxl., 13, "On the south three gates;" Psalm cxMi., "He hath not dealt s o with any nation." Among the greatest needs of, our country i s more gratitude t o God for the unparalleled prosperity bestowed upon us. One of my texts calls u s t o international comparison. What nation on all. the planet has of late had such enlargement of commercial opportunity as is now opening before this nation? Cuba and Porto Rico and the Philippine Islands brought into close contact with us&nd through steamship subsidy and Nicaragua canal, which w i l l surely be afforded 4>y congress, all the republics of South America will be brought into most active trade with the United/States. "On tlie south three gates." While our next door neighbors, the southern republics and neighboring colonies, imported from Euro1 pean countries 3,000 miles away $675,- 000,000 worth of goods in a year, only $126,000,000 worth went from the United States— $126,000,000 out of $675,000,- 000, only one-fifth of the trade ours. European nations taking the four fingers and leaving u s the poor thumb. Now all this is t o be changed. There is nothing but a comparative ferry between- the islands which have recentlycome under our protection, and only a ferry between us and Bolivia, Peru, Paraguay, Uruguay, Venezuela, Salvador, Nicaragua, Colombia, Costa Rica, Equador, Brazil, while there are raging seas and long voyage between them and Europe. B y the mandate of the United States a i r that will be changed through new facilities of transportation. Th« Nation** AdTwrtlacflaeatfr In anticipation of what is sure t o come, I nail on the front door of this nation an advertisement: Wanted.—One hundred thousand men t o build railroads through South America and the island of the sea under our protection. . Wanted.—A thousand telegraph operators^- — Wanted.—One hundred million dollars' worth of dry goods from the great cities of the United States. Wanted.—All the clocks you -can make at New Haven and all the brains can spare-from Boston and all the bells you can mold) at Troy and all the McCormick reapers you can fashion at Chicago and all the hams you can turn out at Cincinnati and all the railroad iron you can sendi from Pittsburg and all the statesmen that you can spare from Washington. Wanted.—Rlgftt away, wanted by new and swifter steamers, wanted by rail-train, lawyers t o plead our cause. Wanted.—Doctors t o cure our sick. Wauted.^-Mlniaters t o evangelise our population. Wanted.—Professors to establish our universities. "On the south three gates," yea, a thousand gates. South America and all the islands of the sea approximate are rightfully our commercial domain, and the congress of the United States will see to it that we get .vhat belongs to us. And then tides of travel will be somewhat diverted from Europe, to our islands at the. south and t o the land of the Aztecs. Much of the $125,000,000 yearly expended by Amertoans^w Europe will be expended in southern exploration, in looking at some of the ruins of the 47 cities which Stephens found only a little way apart and in walking through the great doorways and over the miracles of mosaic and along by the monumental glories of another civilization, and ancient America will with cold lips of stone kiss the warm lips of modern America, and to have seen the Andes and Popocatepetl will be deemed as important as to ave seen the Alpine and Balkan ranges, and there will be fewer people spoiled by foreign travel, and in our midst less of the poor and nauseating imitation of a brainless foreign swell. Some Happy Condition*. Again, in this international comparison notice the happy condition of our country as compared with most countries. Russia under the shadow of the dreadful illness of her great and good emperor, who now, more than any man in all the world, represents "peace on eartfe, good will t o men," and whose empress, near" the most solemn hour that ever comes t o a woman's soul, i s anxious for him t o whom, s h e has given hand and heart, not t o r political reasons,'boi through old fashioned lore such as blesses o a r humMer dwellings; India under tfce agonies of m j . e famjne wklcfe rlrwigh.it>ibe<iba»iil»> e d ; * e . filled hundreds Of thooseMfcot clamation of t h e t e x t "He bath n o t dealt s o with a n y n i t t o u t * ' Ooianare the autumnal report of. harvests l a Amertea this year and *he har-vests abroad. " l a s t summer I crossed the continent of Euros* twice, and I saw no' snob harvest* a s are spoken of in this statement. Hear i t , all you men and women- w h o want everybody to have enough t o e a t and wear. I have t o tell you that t h e corn crop of our country this year i s one of the four largest crops o n record —2,105,000,000 bushtb*! T h e cotton crop, though smaller than, a t some times, will on that account bring bigger prices, and s o cotton planters of the south are prosperous. The wheatfields have provided bread enough and to sparer The potato crop, one of-the five largest crops on record—211,000,000 bushels! Twenty-two million t w o hundred thousand swine slain, and yot so many hogs left. Tha Story of Prosperity. But now I give you the comparative exports and imports, which tell the story of national prosperity a s nothing else can.; Excess of exports over imports, $544,400,000. Now let all pessimists, hide themselves In the dene and caves of the earth, while all grateful souls fill t h e churches with doxology. Notice also that while other countries are at their wits' ends a s to their finances this nation has money to lend. Germany, we are glad to see you in Wall street. If you must borrow money, we have it all ready. How much will you have? Russia, w e also welcome you into our money markets. Give us good collateral. Meanwhile, Denmark, will you please accept our offer of $3,000,000 for the island of S t Thomas? My hearers, there i s no na- _ tion on earth with such heaithy~con-- dition of finances. We wickedly waste an awful amount of money in this country, but some one has said it i s easier to manage a surplus than a deficit Besides all this, not a disturbance from S t Lawrence river to Key West or from Highlands of New Jersey t o Golden Horn of the Pacific Sectional controversies ended.—The north and south brought into complete accord by the Spanish war, which put t h e Lees and the Grants on the same side, Vermonters and Georgians in t h e same brigade. And since our civil war w e are all mixed up. SouthenTmen nave married northern wives, and northern men have married southern wives, and your children are half Mississippian and half New Englaad«ivaad to make another division between the north and the south possible you would have to do with your child as Solomon proposed with the child 'brougnt be-^ fore him for Judgment—divide it with the sword, giving half to the north and half t o the Bouth. No, there i s nothing s o hard to split as a cradle. In other lands there is compulsory marriage of royal families, some 'bright princess compelled to marry some disagreeable foreign ddgnitary in order to keep the balance of political power in Europe, the ill-matched pair fighting out on a small scale that which would have <been an international contest, sometimes the husband having tha balance of power and sometimes the wife. Th« Question of Wages. Again, in this international comparison there is not a land whose wages and salaries are so large for the great mass of the people. In India four cents a day and find yourself is good wages; in Ireland, in some parts, eight cents a day for wages; In England, $1 a day good wages, vast populations not getting as much a s that; in other lands, 50 cents a day and 25 cents a day, clear on down t o starvation and squalor! Look a t the great populations coming out of the factories c£ other lands and accompany them t o their homes and see what privations the hard-working classes on the. other side of the sea suffer. The laboring classes in America are 10 per cent better off than those in any other country under the sun, 20 per cent, 40 per cent, 50 per cent. The toilers of 'hand and foot have better homes and better furnished. "How much wages do you get?" is a question I have asked in Calcutta, in St. Petersburg, in Berlin, in Stockholm, in London, in Paris, i n Auckland. N e w Zealand; in Sydney, Australia, in Samoa, in the Sandwich Islands, so I am not talking a n abstraction.. The stone masons and carpenters and plumbers, and mechanics and artisans o f all kinds in America have finer residences than the major* ity of the professional men l a Europe. a s M T V I .

All this i s only a type of the fabulous1 expense of foreign governments. -All this is paid out of the sweat and blood of the people. Are the people satisfied? However much the Germans like William, and Austria, likes Francis Joseph, audi England likes her glorio u s queen, these stupendous governmental expenses are built on a groan of dissatisfaction as wide a s Europe, If it were left t o the people <t2 England or Austria or Germany .qc' Russia whether these expenetra establishments should be kept up, d o y o u doubt what the vote would be? < Now, i s it not better that we b e overtaxed and the surplus be distributed all over the land than to have it fenilt up and piled up_insidfe the palaces? ' Question of Monopolies^ Again, the monopolistic oppression is less in America than anywhere else. The air is full of protest because great houses, great 'companies, great Individuals, are building such overtowering fortunes. Stephen Glrard and John Jacob Astor, stared at in their time for their august fortunes, would not now 'be pointed at in the streets Washington or Philadelphia o r New York a s anything remarkable. These vast fortunes for some imply pinchedness, of want for others. A growing protuberance on a man's head implies -iUness of the whole body.

Look at those great cathedrals, built at fabulous—oxponso and supported by ecclesiastical machinery, and sometimes in an audience room that would hold a thousand people twenty or thirty people gather for worship. The pope's income i s $8,000,000 a year. Cathedrals of statuary and braided arch and walls covered with masterpieces of Rubens and Raphael a n d Michael Angelo. Against all the walls dash seab of poverty and crime and filth and abomination. " Ireland today one vast monopolistic visitation. About 45,000,000 people in Great Britain, and y e t all the soil owned b y about 32,000. Statistics enough to make the earth tremble. Duke of Devonshire owning 96,000 acres in Derbyshire, Duke of Richmond owning 300,000 acres around Gordon castle. Marcus of Bredalbane going on a journey of 100 m i l e s } n a straight line, all on his own property. Duke of Sutherland has an estate wide a s Scotland, which dips into the sea on both sides. Unfortunate as we have it here, it i s a great deal worse there. While making t h e international comparison let "us look forward t o the time which will surely come when &\\ nations will have as great advantages as our own. As surely as the Bible is true the whole earth i s to be gardenized and set free. Even the climates will change and the heats b e cooled and the frigidity warmed.

Old English Custom*. It was customary in former days, in Cornwall, England, for the people t o meet on Christmas eve at the bottom of the deepest mines and have a midnight mass. ' In some parts of Derbyshire the village choir assemble in the church on Christmas eve and there wait until midnight when they m proceed from bouse t o house, invariably accompanied by a keg of ale, singing "Christians, Awake!" During the week they again visit the principal houaea in the place, and having played and sang for the evening, and partaken of the Christmas cheer, are presented with a aum of money. In Chester and its neighborhood numerous singers parade the streets, and are hospitably entertained with meat and drink at the various houses where they call. The "ashton fagot" is burned in Devonshire. It is composed entirely of ash timber, the separate branches bound with ash bands and made a s large as can be admitted to the floor of the fireplace.

"God bless her brave little heart,'1 said he, as he bold Dorothy's flowers. The first joy of the Christmas tree was over, the presents were all distributed, and every one of the little Bertrams were sitting around admiring the candles and the clever trimming of the tree. "There goes the door bell again," said someone. "Do you think Santa Claus has come back?" asked Marjorie. ~ — It was a great disappointment to her when she aaw her mother shaking hands with Mr. Jorden. He looked rather sad, though he smiled at them all. There was a bright carnation in his buttonhole, the sight of which made Dorothy want to get behind someone. "How happy you look," said the visitor, sitting down. "I could^ see you through my side windows—I have often looked in upon you, and tonight I took the liberty of joining you for half an hour. Shall t intrude?" "Not at all,".said Dr. Bertram. "You are very welcome." Mr. Jorden drew Dorothy toward him and kissed her.

The cake is formally deposited on the fork of the tree* and the cider thrown upon the cake and tree.

"There is a bouse.ou our Hue that is haunted to the men who hrtve beou ou this run for a few years back. Oue of our men noticed a man's face at the window overlooking1 the road. Every time the train passed fpr three days. I believe, the engineer saw tfi1> race. 11 \\as a 1 vyfly.s.ilie same. -Then he told somebody else about it, and on investigation it was discovered that the man at tbe window was dead. ' He occupied the room alone. There was no one else in the bouse. He bad killed himself, and in a note found on his table it was written that the man was lonesome and that he had raised tne window just before^the act so that he might die in the noise of the city. That was all there was to the story. "Ever since that time every engineer and fireman on the line who was employed at that time turns his face away In passing that house.

Cecil Rhodes once fitted up a beautiful cemetery near Klmberley, but for some reason it remained untenanted. Seeing this, Mr. Rhodes offered a bonus to widow* who- would bring thejr husbands to be burled in his cemetery, but without avail. Eventually one poor woman allowed her husband to be buried there, and a handsome marble stone was erected over his grave. But even then the scheme bung fire. The Inhabitants passing the gates of the beautiful cemetery would look through the railings and see the one man lying there In solitary state and go away shaking their heads and thinking how lonely it must be. Mr, Rhodes got so exasperated that he increased the bonus until it was a large sum. Then the inhabitants gradually began to weaken, due after the other;' bringing their dead to the lonely cemetery, which became as popular as aucfr a place can properly be. :5'.>V .-•» ^. v * , i rA-~ A - V * " - . • I ''i\T-: ."•*£• /• _SJ Si S ^ 1 ¾ 1 L.

A Groeer/man at Moscow, Hillsdale Co., Hires Two Men to Sara lilt Store • a Oootents That He Might Get the Insurance—Other Items. 3E lease tlonal Developments la Arson TrJaL The trial of Cbas. W. Hewitt on a charge of procuring the burning of a store building and the contents of the same, owned by himself, has been in process in the circuit court at Hillsdale fqr the past 10 days and some sensational developments have resulted. The property was located at Moscow, Hillsdale county, where Hewitt was engaged in the grocery business on a small scale. The tire occurred on the night of Jan. 20, 1900. It was suspected at the time that it w a s of in cendiary origin and Hewitt himself made a show of soliciting the aid of the authorities in hunting down the firebugs and bringing them to justice. Matters ran along until last September, when two citizens of Lenawee county, who live just over the county line, began to leak badly, to their own and Hewitt's discomfiture. ' These two men are Henry and Will Marvin, father and son. The Marvins were soon arrested and the younger man confessed to burning the building, but charged Hewitt with hiring him to do it. He said his father was with him, and be* fore he applied the match they looted the store, taking a wagon load of stuff home with them. Plnffree on Capittl Punishment. Gov. Stanley, of Kansas, has received a letter from Gov. Pingree in response to a letter that he .sent to the governor of all states in which capital punishment has been abolished, in which the governor of Kansas inquired whether there is a tendency to mob law in those states. Pingree says: "No state which has a capital punishment law has any right to boast of intelligence of its people. It is a relic of barbarism. There has been little, if any, mob violence in the state of Michigan, but I do not think this has been so because of either the existence of a capital punishment law or the absence of it. Whether there is mob violence or not depends upon the intelligence and temper of the people. I think that the people of Michigan have been less liable to commit rash acts as a result of excitement than the people in the south, where the Negro question is such a serious and disturbing one. A number of cases have been brought to my own knowledge and 1 have issued pardons where the prisoners were sentenced to life imprisonment and it was afterward learned that they were innocent. Marsh's Pardon Held Vnllrt. The supreme court has, in a unanimous opinion written by Justice Moore, dismissed the appeal in the case of Arthur F. Marsh, thus holding the par- » don granted him by Gov. Pingree valid. ' The opinion says" that the important question in the case is whether there has been a conviction of the respondent within the meaning of the constitution, so that executive clemency may ."be invoked, the prosecution having urged that before the governor can exercise the pardoning power there must be a sentence of the court as well as conviction. It is the opinion of the court that Gen. Harsh was convicted when he asked for clemency, therefore the pardon is valid and the accused tnust pay the sum stipulated by the governor when he granted the pardon. Itrets a Poor Crc p La»t Season. The Wolverine Sugar Co., of Benton Harbor, finished grinding this year's crop of beets on the 19lh and closed down as soon as the sugar was turned o u t The output of the factory this season is less than that of last year, owing to the poor crop of beets which | were blighted by dry weather in August. The beets, while a poor crop in bulk, were also short in saccharine substance. The factory's offer of $5 per ton for beets next season, it is thought, will give them all the beets they can handle next year. w MICHIGAN N E W S I T E M S . t V There is six inches of ice in Lake St. Clair. •' • > Niles is to have free rural mail delivery.

The Filipino3 are organizing a new . , , , political party, but as yet have not o n an impracticable basis, that it is jiamed it. Boston was visited by a fire on the 18th that destroyed 8200,000 worth of property. John D. Rockefeller, on the 19th, gave the Chicago university another 81.500,000. just one chance for the bill, but it is a very remote one. When the bill came to the senate from the house it w a s not introduced in the accustomed manner, and it was upon this slight oversight t i a t Senator Helme saved the measure from ultimate defeat. This accomplished the bill was quickly sent to the committee on state affairs, where it will remain unless sufficient votes can be secured to get it out on the floor again, which is very doubtful. After disposing of the taxation bill, Senator At wood lost no time in introducing a concurrent adjournment resolution providing for no further business after 12 o'clock on Dec. 18, and fixing Thursday, Dec. 20 as the date of final adjournmeut. The 4th special session called by Gov. Pingree practically came to a close on the 20th, without anything being accomplished. At the morning session the house weakened and adopted the concurrent resolution sent ever by the senate fixing final adjournment for the 22d. For an hour the Pingreeites tried to. fight off the inevitable, hoping to stay the wiudup until the governor could get a reply from Senator McMillan which he could spring. They succeeded in tangling up matters for a time and beat the concurrent resolution- once, but later the vote w a s reconsidered and the resolution was finally adopted by a vote of 45 to 29. When the governors personal and special invitation to attend the banquet, came up on the 1 *h, Senator Helme promptly moved that the invitation be refused. Senator At wood wished the communication kept ont of the official journal, so he moved that it be referred back to the writer. Senator Ward was in favor of .summary action, saying that the invitation was insulting and intended to be so, and that the governor should be given to understand that while he might insult 1he courts with impurity, he could not offer the senate an insult without having it resented The invitation was resented by a vote of 2:J- to 2. The representative of an eastern banking house, who has been at work ever since the session commenced, reaped a harvest so far as-the house is concerned on the 18th,. whew Gov. Pingree sent in three messages recommending the enactment of laws legalizing the issuing of bonds by the cities Petoskey. Traverse City and Charlevoix, and bills to this effect were promptly passed. The senators think these matters should be left for the regular session, hence the measures may be smothered for the preseat. Rep. Wayne offered a resolution on the ?9th asking the governor for a special message recommending the submission of a proposed amendmeirt to the constitution relative so the holding of sessions of the legislature.. The proposed amendment provided that the regular sessions shall be held: as> at present, hut be limited to 100 days, and thai there be in each even yeay a session t o convene in September and be limited to 40 daj-s. The resolution was tabled. When t>he house convened on the' afternoon of the 19th "Pop" Goodell offered a resolution requiring Senators Burrows and McMillan to support the Grant oleomargarine bill, which has passed the lower house of congress. The resolution was opposed by Reps. McCollum and Chamberlain, but Reps. Colvin and Buskirk came to the rescue of "Pop,' and it was adopted by a.vote of 52 to 27. It can almost be put down as- a-n assured faet that Gov. Pingree will not have the pleasure of signing hi& name to any law enacted by the present legislature-. That is the conclusion! of the majority of the senate* audi, unless some unforeseen consideration, arises, that will be its conclusion to- the end By a vote of 41 to 12,. the house on the 18-th indefinitely postponed action on the senate, concurrent resolution, fixing final adjournment for the 20th. The session is a long way from being ended, but there is apparently no likelihood that anything valuable will be accomplished. The senate on the 19th again made an attempt of final adjournment. This time the date for the last day of business was fixed as the 20th, and the time for final adjournment was set for the 22<L That body then took a recess to await action ol the house. According to Senator Atwood, the leader of the opposition to Pingree's bill, the next legislature will pass an equal taxation measure. He stated on the 19 th that the people of the state could rely on this promise being carried out. By a vote of 17 to 5 the senate on the night of the 17th refused to grant Gov. Pingree the use of the senate for his banquet on the night of the 18th. Rep. Chamberlain on the 18th introduced a bill asking for legislation fo? the relief of the Chippewa Indiana i n Cheboygan county.

The basis forH the r e w congressional apportionment can be fixed at any fig- v ure that would he practical and still Michigan's number of congressional districts will remain unchanged. Chairman Hopkins of the committee and six other members recommend that the number of districts,, now 357, be not changed but that the ration be increased to one member for every 208,- 862 inhabitants. Eep. Burleigh, of Maine, submitted a report in favor of a house of a86 members. Rep. Crumpacker, of Indiana,, filed an independent report in favor of a house of 374 members. Nothing" short of a increase to 390 members would give Michigan - another member. A reduction of just one member in the present gross number would reduce Michigan's representation to 11. As the- number agreed upon will surely be between 357 and 386, the Michigan delegation has no reason to be particularly concerned about the bill. V , Agents of the American Federation of Labor are at work among senators to try and have considered the bill which passed the house last summer and which concern*, among other penal institutions, the Detroit house of correction, Jack son prison and Ionia reformatory. It seeks to accomplish what the labor organizations in Michigan have tried unsuccessfully to accomplish through the state legislature, that is that the three institutions named mviet label "prison made" the chairs, shirts and other articles manufactured by convicts. Senator McMillan, as chairman of the senate committee on District of Columbia affairs, has approved the plan for two principal railroads, the the Boltimore & Ohio and the Pennsylvania, to have their tracks elevated and do away with grade crossings. The idea is to jerk si>me*of the crooks in these two roads and have them close up certain streets and give up others to the city in return* The rivers and harbors committee has agreed that its bill shall not exceed 860.000,000, wi A about 820,000,000 for direct appropriations. A n appropriation of 8225,000 has been provisionally agreed on for,-a survey of the 14- foot canal project•&> connect the Mississippi and Chicago drainage canal.

Dorothy is up stairs, the servants are out; as soon as she finishes the sewing of a button on Johnnie's refractory trousers she will come down, •he says, and watch the old year out, being evidently well pleased over the prospect of a club, night of our own, a little "Home, Sweet Home" sort of an arrangement. k It seems that Johnnie is the only member of our family not a member of a club. Dorothy simply holds on to the lfttle shaver by the collar, tied to her apron strings he is, and I am glad of i t Can I ever forget the day when our THIS IS A COZY LITTLE DEN. neighborhood took on a sudden quiet? The question arose, where are those boys? Dorothy and I knew all about it, for were we not invited to become honorary members of thei? club, "The OUapodrida?" We helped to foot the bills and evinced an interest in the affairs of the club; we lent them ten cents to buy material to reseat an old worn-out chair; there was another item; twenty-five cents for lumber, etc., and last, but not least, and that which caused Dorothy much suffering, were sundry pieces of rope to be fur- „ nished with all the paraphernalia of a trapeze arrangement, preparatory to meanderings aloft, all of which caused a rush of blood to my head, as I thought of these venturesome boys, three of them at work daily, experimenting with the center of gravity, walking on their heads being the objective point apparently. We are happily rejoicing these days, however, in a more recent occupant of the family cradle, who so far walks feet downward after the fashion of mortals. As time goes on, the children's youthful exploits, with the accompanying worries of their elders, fade into oblivion, as the more serious aspect confronts us. The OUapodrida members of my family have taken unto themselves a few extra years; two of these aforesaid members are looking collegeward, and X seem to worry about them in a wonderful way quite unlike myself. The bread and butter question confronts me? What profession will be theirs? Are they sufficiently strong in purpose to resist this or that? The day will come when Dorothy and I cannot shield them or stand beneath them and the cold world; we won't be here to settle the little accounts or encounters, or watch the little cotillions they are going to have with the dwellers of this mundane sphere. Then comes the .question over again: "Well, old fellow, what's the matter now? Can't you let the boys alone, and let them fight It out just as you did?" Some truth in that, I answer. "I will wait until Dorothy comes and I'll ask her, just for curiosity, what •he thinks of my past, and the general outlook." In part I jtm going to turn over a new leaf. Here is a volume of Longfellow be* side me on the table; he is so human, j v u know, and I will close my eyes, such diet s i sipping'frappea, Russi&a tea* and chocolate to a respectable, cozy dinner with your George Augustus; and," (pausing for breath) "don't be angry; couldn't you leave out that tiresome, quarrelsome card party and await my return with unruffled nerves, for instance, meet me at the door just a s you used to do, little wife?" (growing a little more tender). open the book (a Utile game of chance, you see), avid on the page where my finger rests I "will try if by chance a word of comfort come to me, that would hit my case. I seem to have a case of the blues; probably staying away from the club on this convivial occasion Is not agreeing with me. "Shut your eyes, open the book," say 8 the little exhorter, that unseen individual. Presto—change—0, what meets my eye? Will it be sonia dire prophecy or—? Here It is under a y forefinger: "A Shadow." It reads: I said to myself if I were dead. What would befall these children? What would be Their fate, who are now looking up to me For help and furtherance? Their lives, I said, Would It be a volume wherein I have read . But the first chapters, and no longer see To read the rest of their dear history So full of beauty and so full of dread. Be comforted; the world is very old. And generations pass, as they have passed, A troop of shadows moving with the sun; Thousands of times has the old tale been told; The world belong to those who come the last, They will find hope and strength as we have done. Was ever answer *cnt to a mortal man more clearly? I think I'm sent ior; there's some- 'thing besides old Father Time after me, surely. Here is the very answer to my dismals as to those boys and their doings. But here comes Dorothy, singing, apparently in a very cheerful mood. "This is perfectly lovely, George Augustus. "Johnnie's trousers are all right for tomorrow, and I have been looking over my precious tin box, and I find such lovely bits of literature and all sorts; suppose we Took them over to* alght." Perhaps Dorothy noticed an unusual expression on my manly countenance, for she paused and said: "What are you thinking about? What hao this \-ld year been saying to you? Are you having a retrospective sort of revival meeting all by yourself?" "Only a few ideas have struck me," Dorothy. I rather like this den of mine, especially tonight, and one or two articles in these books here seem to have been writJan especially for me, r c^ict an uncomfortable little voice '^b been questioning me. A thought strikes me that we, you and I, have drifted apart rather more than I ever dreamed we could. There has been a sort of 'We fellows at the club' air and manner about me, that I really think now, as I sit here, has been a foolishness on my part that I shall endeavor to discontinue; a sort of desire to be 'in with the boys' and "Why, whatever can be the matter with you, George Augustus? It is only a case of too many clubs in the family, that is all; eaeily remedied, you know. If this is to be a Home club tonight, let us invoke the spirit of the New Year here, right under this roof; let us stand here, and with the right hand uplifted vow, that naught shall come between thee and me, George Augustus and Dorothy; we will reach that land of trust and confidence that requires no weapon, not even a club, to create or quell a disturbance." Dorothy is really eloquent "Bring down the tin box, Dorothy; "we are 'the OUapodrida club' (the tin box, Dorothy and I) in memory of those boys wLo are trying another | sort of trapeze swinging high or low with the wings of ambition, up to greater heights." By the way, Dorothy sketches and paints. I will give her a subject, earth, sky and water, the soft green turf^-the blue ethereal, the hazy mountain top, while the lazy lapping waves touch the eager feet of the climbers yt-t in the valley as they stand on the -shore twixt earth and sea, girded and armed for the steep ascent to the shrine on the distant heights.

"0, no," Dorothy replied, with something of a twinkle in her eyes; "but, then, you know, you might be more of a saint, if you tried, dear." "And perhaps, most noble and adorable (my temper rising) and twentieth century wife, if I should give up my Sunday evenings at the club, possibly^ you may be willing to sacrifice a few of those insufferable 'teas' and bring an appetite uncontamlnated with Good-bye, old year! We've journeyed on together many days, And now beheld the parting of our ways Is very near; With thoughts of mingled gladness and of dread, I see the winding way that I must tread " To Future Lands; For thee awaits the realm of shadows deep— The Silent Land of years that lie asleep With folded hands. Goed-bye, old year! A few more steps ere we forever part— A few more words that wake the throbbing heart To hope and fear; A farewell smile, a lingering clasp of hand. Ere thou shalt lie within the shadowland All silently; The while I haste a glad new year to greet, The while I journey on with memories sweet, Old year, of thee. .Good-bye, old year!

A dispatch from Cape Town, dated the 20th says: The situation here is Boers have Grave fears are entertained that Dutch sympathizers will join the rebellion. Although there is no fear as to the ultimate result, the lack of a sufficient number of mounted troops is felt by the British. The enormous waste of horses in South Africa was not fully appreciated until now. Martial law has been proclaimed in the following additional districts: Britstown, Victoria, West, Richmond, Hanover, Murraysburg, Graaf Rcinet, Aberdeen, Middleburg, Steynsburg, Craddock, Tarka and Molteno. It is reported that Gen. Knox has been forced to abandon the pursuit of Gen. Dewet owing to the situation created in Cape Colony by the Boers crossing the Orange river. It is said that 3,000 republicans have entered Cape Colony and a similar number have reached Philipstown. The report adds that Dewet with about 4,500 men is northeast of Ladybrand, and that an attack on Winburg is momentarily expected. According to the Lokal Anzeiger 50 Cape Colony Boers, now in Amsterdam with their families, have been granted permission to settle in German Southwest Africa, the German government having just assented to the purchase of lands by them in Damaraland and Great Namaquin Land. The Boers will leave Amsterdam Jan. 5. Gen. De Wet had G,O00 men and 18,- 000 horses when he captured De Wetsdorp, according to a gentleman who was imprisoned there. The Boer commander then declared that he was not going to surrender without a free pardon for all his men, including many Cape Dutch. The force of 6,000 is now divided iDto three sections. The invasion of Cape Colony is spreading. It is reported that the Boers have occupied Colesburg, south of Philippolis, and near the Orange River Colony frontier. The people at Cape town are much disturbed. A mixed force of 1,000 men were dispatched north on the night of the 19th. President Kr.uger arrived at Amsterdam on the 19th. He was met at the railroad station by the municipal and communal authorities. Speeches were exchanged in the royal waiting room. A bouquet was presented to Kruger, whose every appearance was a-signal for rounds of applause. Still the news keeps coming telling of the wanton cruelty of the German troops in China. It is reported that recently the German troops visited Lung-Ching and shot 60imperial troops who were engaged in suppressing boxers and also killing 30 other Chinese, including three converts. They took 200 prisoners, including 30 natives attached to the Anglican mission. In consequence of an appeal from the magistrates, however, the prisoners were liberated in return for the payment of 20,000 taels. This punitive expedition was in defiance of the understanding that no such measures should be taken.pending negotiations. The Germans are said to have looted the place.

Next, he Idly counted its checks. He looked at the offending stocking^ this way and that •with growing ire; he pulled it, he pinched it, he turned it, he twi6ted it. he fingered it in every way In an agony of indecision. When every hope had deserted him. he stood oft and, reckless of discovery, puffed vigorously upon* his pipe. And then a bright idea came to his relief.

A P l » y « l o l n : i \ V l i n n e R e p u t a t i o n a s a C r i t i c W a s D l a « « e d . There's a physician in Baltimore who adores music. His taste, to be sure, runs rather to "Old Black Joe," "Suwannee River" and such classics, but still any sort of music will do, and he listens to it all ecstatically and with a properly intelligent look on his face. It was therefore believed that he had a fine taste for harmony, and his reputation as-a critic was established and grew apace as reputations will, good or bad. The other evening as his daughter approached the house in which this physician livtxi she heard the strains of "Home, Sweet Home," proceeding from the library. "Father's at it again." she said to herself softly. "1 wonder who h e has coerced into playing for him now?" A glance disclosed the fact that he had bribed three street musicians, two violinists and a harpist into giving him a private recital. They finished the air just as the young woman entered, and the physician turned to her with a beaming face. "That 'Nearer. My God. to Me,' is a beautiful thing. I s i r t T f n i e askel It was the first time he had committed himself on the subject of "tunes," and his glory began to diminish from that moment, for his daughter told the incident as what she considered an excellent joke. Now the worthy man says that he likos music solely as an incentive to thought and listens to It when he wishes to solve some knotty problem of artery or bones, just as those who suffer from insomnia go to church and listen to the sermon to. be put to sleep.—Baltimore News.

At first, however, the more dignifiid re,preseniative was chosen as more in keeping with the occasion. Saturn was uiv onsciously rebaptized as St. Nicholas, the name of the saint whose festival occurs in December, and who, as the patron of young people, is especially fitted for the patronage of the festival which has come to be looked upon as especially that of th* youri*.

It is oot generally known that Cinrinnatl bus within her confine* a half oosteu factories that manufacture' every day enough deadly poisous to annihilate the entire population of the city. These factories are carefully guarded from all intruders, uud eveu the employees have to be skilled in their work uud bo well aware- of the risk they take before admittance is granted. Some of the poisous are so deadly that inhaling tbe fumes that arise from their manufacture would menu certain death. This is especially tbe case with anhydrous acid, a» drug that Is never placed on the market iu its pure state, and even in the chemist's laboratory it is handled with all the care that would be given to a poisonous reptile. If the fumes of this acid should escape, tbe chemist would never live to tell the tale. Tbe man who discovered it was killed by inhaling Its fumes, and other men have met similar deaths. • Probably the most dangerous of tbe drugs manufactured here is the cyanide of potassium. Its fumes are said not to be poisonous, and one can work in tbe room where it is manufactured without fear, except that he must not touch it. The slightest quantity of the poison in its pure state would kill instantly if swallowed. The fumes arising from it have rather a pleasant odor, and It is said that it produces a witching effect upon tbe workmen. The finished poison looks like crystallized sugar, and as you gaze on it and smell the fascinating odor there is a strong temptation to* taste I t , The fascination is probably much like that which draws a man over a steep precipice. At any rate, the attraction to taste of the poison is so jvell recognized that a workman is never allowed to remain alone in the room where it is being manufactured. Nitric and sulphuric acids are poisons equally fearful in their results when once liberated. These poisons eat away and through almost anything, and they can only be kept In carboys. When Sone of these carboys Is broken, the factory is doomed. The acid spreads round and begins to eat into everything it touches and incidentally sets everything inflammable on fire. -To collect the acid or to pour anything over it to counteract its effects Is an impossibility. As it burns and spreads around its fumes become deadly in their effectrand firemennattempting to" put out the flames would suffer. The fumes do not kill at once, but if breathed for 24 hours they poison tbe system, and death ofttimes results. The fumes of corrosive sublimate are as deadly as almost any poison, and in factories where the drug 1B made the greatest care is used to prevent them from escaping. There are many other poisons made for commercial use that are only a little less powerful, but nearly all of them are diluted when placed on the market. Some of these are yellow prussiate of potash, nitrate of silver, acetate of lead and copper, ferrocyanlde of potash, white and red lead and many other poisons. By their being diluted the danger of using and handling is minimized. There is one factory in -Cincinnati that does a thriving business securing nitrate of silver from cast off photographers' stock and still another that makes the drug iu a crude way. The proprietor' of the latter establishment Is a native of Switzerland, and the garret of his house is his workshop. Some time ago he w a s overcome by the fumes from his crucibles and came near dying. He had met with a young German learning tbe trade, and the apprentice suddenly quit his job when he discovered that his skin was turning a bluish hue. The accidents that have resulted from handling this class of poisons are many. Several years ago a carboy of nitric acid was accidentally broken in a factory in Eastern avenue, and the acid began to have its way without opposition. It soon started the interior of the factory on fire, and it was eating its way into an adjoining room, where large quantities of other poisons were stored. Several workmen volunteered to put out the flames and to check the acid in Its deadly work. Several hours were occupied before they succeeded, and when matters seemed all right they returned home. Tbe next day all were sick, and one of the men died, tbe fumes of the acid having been inhaled and enough of the poison absorbed to cause death. — Cincinnati Commercial Tribune. i V e r r *£« Who hit fcmiile trouble, cmoion to They are the great Blood hud Nerve Medicine and Developer.

The lower ten are as yet mere, skeleton of girders and trusses. The larger blocks . of granite for these lower floors were not ready on time, so the builder decided to go ahead on the ones above. It is perfectly safe, yet the appearance of the structure is so unusual that it is a curiosity, even for Wall Street. CHAPTER XI.—(Continusd.) No-one ever knew what passed in that interview. Harvey briefly told his wife he had begged for forgiveness and gained it, but the old relations between Gladys and himself would never be renewed—she was through with the life of which he had been a part. When Helen threw herself In his arms in a passion of grief for having done him hurt While striving only for his benefit, he kissed her sadly. It was all a mistake, he said; he had been the more culpable of the two. Together they would take up life under the new conditions, never alluding to the errors of the past. He was very kind, very gentle; but there was that in .his manner and look which told her Harvey, the boy, was dead, to make way for the grave, almost s t e m man who henceforth walked by her side through life, affectionate and true, yet with the ineffable quality that tinges the humblest marriage with romance forever stricken from his love. Within a year after her departure Gladys was married to a man slightly her junior, whesa wealth doubled hers. Her beauty and vivacity made her the center of a wide social circle, and having been shut away from city pleasures so long she enjoyed them\ now with childlike enthusiasm. Engrossed in a bewildering happy present the past became to her a dream, and after the arrival of her first child; a half forgotten one. The house in Rockville was sold, "and long year^passed~before she again saw Harvey. In the careworn man with stooping shoulders she found it difficult to recognize her once handsome boy. He was oniy~~forty, but life had gone hard .with him. There were many mouths to feed at home, and all Helen's thrift could not make one dollar do more than the work of two.

And Harvey had been her boy as well as Gladys'. So all were in their way happy and content—all but one. It is hard for the covetous soul to eome near to fortune yet never grasp H; and even when better days had dawned, and want was forever set at bay, the bitter knowledge that she had doomed her husband to a struggle with poverty that robbed him of youth and hope and ambition was with Helen Atherton all the days of her life.

The horse at once gratified his desire by throwing him on to the tan, where he lay trembling in every limb, much to the diversion of a couple of rough riders who were standing by. They were quick to inform their respective squadrons, and, his former occupation being .known, he was promptly christened White Feather. In those dark days it was the joy of the more hardy recruits to take him aside solemnly and request the service of three-pence three farthings worth of white feathers. Any morfcai of down or fluff that might float iLtd the barracks was promptly captured and presented to him with due ceremonies by Trumpeter Pipes, the low comedian oj the regiment The older men forbore to join in with these somewhat tiring repetitions of a stale joke. They remembered their own experiences in the riding school and recognized that White Feather was a quiet and inoffensive fellow, devoid of the impudence and bad manners peculiar to recruits and respectful and helpful to his seniors.

He could crawl no more. "Itwill, for her cake!" He murmured between his clenched teeth, and, rising from the shelter of the rock, he faced the hail of death that pattered to the earth around him. As he walked into the open a faint cheer reached his ears from the British troops half a mile behind him. The Royal artillery backed him with a shrieking flight of shrapnel, which whistled for a moment overhead, then burst over the Boer lines a quarter of a mile away in a shower of bullets that for a moment quelled the storm around him. He reached the wounded man, lifted him on his back and returned step by step to where Trumpeter Pipes lay hidden.

The money was found in an old cupboard in the hovel wherein the deceased had lived for over half a century* Marie Leret was eighty-three Tears old, and was one of the most successful mendicants of the day.

That is a secret that belongs to the army alone. Suffice it to say that his comrades are proud of his name. He should never have entered the army at all, much less a hard riding cavalry regiment which had a reputation to sustain by a yearly tribute of broken necks and collar bones. . His proper vocation was that of a linen draper's assistant, and he had filled that occupation very satisfactory till one evil day be had fallen in love with a girl, a silly, shallow girl, at whom no practical man or boy would have taken a second look. He adored her, and she adored soldiers. In thefr walks abroad she would direct hisVteps toward the Horse guards or Wellington barracks, that she might gaze in admiration at the fine, strapping soldiers who were to be seen there, and every time she pinched his arm and exclaimed: "Oh, Jack, look at that lovely soldier!" bii heart gave him a pang at the thought that he was only a draper's assistant, with nothing in common with the military but the handling of red cloth! He was a dreamer by nature, and falling in love did not lessen his weakness in this direction. Dreaming is pardonable in a poet, but an unpardonable crime in a Unen draper's assistant, and as he stood at his counter ££3 mind was far away from his work. Instead of listening to the "Forward!" of the shopwalker he could only hear the short-finng word of command and* the blare of tbe bugles that sounded through bis dreams; wherefore it was not long before he came into conflict with his practical chief. A few sharp words passed. He threw np in three a position fo had taken six which had bean gadly retarded by the heavy, gas-laden atmosphere in which he had lived. His nerves acquired tone, and he learned to take a tumble now and then as a matter of course and to fire hia carbine without shutting his eyes and blanching at the explosion of the cartridge. "Blow me, if he isn't going to shape Into a man at last!" quoth the sergeant instructor. Then a great blow fell upon him. He received one morning a letter from the girl to tell him that she had given him up in Tavor of a shopwalker who had expectations of being set up in business by his father. She admitted that she had adored soldiers and that she had caused him to enter the army for her sake. But she had omitted to state that the soldiers she adored were soldiers who possessed the Queen's commission and who wore stars instead of a worsted stripe. If poor White Feather was a physical coward, he was a moral hero. There is no chance of a display of feeling in a barrack room so, like the Spartan boy of old, he hugged his trouble to him, slipping the aheap little engagement ring with which he had sealed his troth into his pocket without a sign beyond the twitching of his white lips. Then he lit his pipe with the letter, not out of contempt, but because there fs little privacy accorded in the correspondence that comes to the barrack room, and a private soldier Is not provided with a desk wherein to keep his faded flowers and other sentimental tokens of the past. The blow was a very heavy one, for White Feather was without ths worldly knowledge that should have told him long since that he had fixed his affections upon a vulgar, selfish and brainless flirt, and he still believed in her. For her sake he had learned to overcome his physical cowardice. He had dreamed of a possible commission ia the dim future and had rejoiced In the recently acquired promotion as a step toward her. For her sake, too, he received the news cheerfully when the word passed through the barracks that the regiment was ordered to South Africa to meet tbe Boers. He knew that he was by nature a coward, but for tbe memory of her he swore an oath to himself to do his duty without sparing himself tn the coming fight. • • ' 5 • » ' • .0 ,0 "Look 'err, old chap, we ain't going to can yon White Feather no more!"

One thrifty woman who had watched the vegetables and fruit rotting day by day at her grocer's, and which were a dead loss to him, proposed that they enter into an arrangement in the future whereby she should preserve and pickle his entire surplus, either for regular pay'or upon commission, in the latter case he furnishing the sugar and spices. Another woman, with sharp business instincts, a butcher's wife, made up soup stock, and found a ready sale for it to many overworked housekeepers. Still another, who knew but one thing thoroughly, and that was cookery, called every morning at. certain physicians offices and formed a list of families in which sickness prevailed. To these families she offered to come every day for an hour or so and prepare in their own homes mutton broth, beef extract, chicken jelly, panada, gruels, fruit and herb drinks, wine whey, custard, etc., furnishing her time and labor cheaper than the articles could be bought at restaurants or women's exchanges. Some women are specialists In one branch, such as handkerchief embroidering, lampshade making, fan painting, feather curling,- glove cleaning, and the like, or can make beautiful neck scarfs, or ! launder fine laces. Such can easily make their specialty pay, some by tha aid of friends, some by the patronaga of dealers in such goods, some by a house to house canvass made by themselves. A young girl in one of the larga eastern cities was recently puzzled by finding herself left almost helpless and homeless, with no talent in any one direction. There was but one thing of which she never tired, and that was of children, all of whom seemed to adore her; so this young girl went out at co much an hour to amuse sick and irritable children. Many a worn-out mother found her presence a most grateful repose. She was indefatigable in inventing new games and perfecting old ones, and her naturally retentive memory came also to her aid as a story-teller.

A Letter from the Executive Office of Oregon. The Governor of Oregon is an ar dent admirer of Pe-ru-na. He keeps it continually in the house. In a recent letter to Dr, Hartman he says: State or Oregon, ' Executive Department, Salem, May 9, 1S98. The Pe-ru-na Medicine Co., Columbus, Ohio: Dear Sirs:—I have had occasion to use your Pe-ru-na medicine in my family for colds, and it proved to be an excellent remedy. I have not had occasion to use it for other ailments. Yourr verytruly, W-. a k - i o r d . Any man who wishes perfect health must be entirely free from catarrh. Catarrh is well-nigh universal; almost omnipresent. Pe-ru-na is the only ab-' solute safeguard known. A cold is the beginning of catarrh. To prevent colds, to cure colds, is to cheat catarrh out of its victims. Pe-ru-na not only cures catarrh, but prevents. Every household should be supplied with this great remedy for coughs, colds and so forth. It will be noticed'that the Governor says he has not had occasion to use Pe-ru-na for other ailments. The reason for this is, most' other ailments begin with a cold. Using Pe-ru-na to promptly cure colds, he protects his family against other ailments. This is exactly what every othej; family in the United States should do. Keep Pe>ru*na In the house. Use i t for coughs, colds, la grippe, and other climatic affections of winter, and there will be no other ailments in the house. Such families should provide themselves with a copy of Dr. Hartman's free book, entitled "Winter Catarrh." Address Dr. Hartman, Columbus, '0.

At other times the healthy subject was bled into a bowl and the blood was beaten to remove the fibrin before it was passed into the blood vessels of the patient. The procedure is a dangerous one. however, although many lives have been saved by it, and it has now been almost entirely abandoned, a much safer plan being used. It Is found that the blood when defibrinated is no longer a living fluid, and the corpuscles it contains serve no useful purpose when injeeted, but rather act as foreign matter which must be got rid of. Accordingly physicians now use distilled water in which a definite proportion of common salt and other chlorides have been dissolved. This solution is warmed and is injected slowly into a vein at the bend of the elbow, about a quart being used. Often it is not even necessary to pour the fluid into a vein, but simply to inject it through one or more hollow needles into the tissues beneath the skin of the abdomen or the thigh. This is done not only to .supply an equivalent for fluid lost in hemorrhage or cholera, but afto in certain diseases In which blood poisoning exists. In this latter case a large amount of fluid is injected slowly, and being taken up by the blood is almost immediately excreted through the kidneys, carrying with it .much of the poison which the blood was unable to rid itself of unaided. This operation has been felicitously called "blood washing," for this is what It really Is, and to tbe process humanity owes tbe saving of many lives. —Youth's CfunpanJon. ~ Witked Tfcwn Up.

Four well-known physi-: cians gave me up to die. In fact they' gave me only three' or four days at the longest to live. I had spent nearly! everything I had in the effort to savej my life, but seeing an advertisement of Dodd's Kidney Pills, I scraped what' was nearly my last half dollar, sent to' the drug store and bought a box. I had! very little hope of anything ever doing me any good, as from what the four! doctors had told me, it was now a mat-* ter of hours with me. I commenced to| take the Pills, and from the very first; they helped me. I took in ail about forty boxes. I doubtless did not need! so many, but I wanted to make sure,- and after all, $20 is a small amount oft money to remove the sentence of death! and save one's life. I have since recommended Dodd's Kidney Pills to—hundreds of people, and I have yet to hear of the first one that did not find them all that you claim for them. I can remember of two people to whom I had recommended Dodd's KIdne"2r"PTTli',"and who afterwards said to me that they received no benefit.

I wish I could think of words: strong enough to express to you my gratitude for what your Medicine has done for me. It is not often, I suppose, that a man who is staring death right in the face, is permitted to live and tell of the means which saved him, and as that is my position, my heart is overwhelmed with thankfulness to God for His mercy to me in permitting me to see the advertisement of Dodd's Kidney P d s , when it seemed that I was beyond all earthly- power to save,, that I cannot express my real feelings. : If anyone doubts the statement I have made*, they may write to me, and I will try* and prove to them that all If have said! in this letter is true, and1, more than true. There are hundreds of people in. Minneapolis who know all about my ease and the way Dodd'a Kidney Pills pulled me through, when I had been given up by the four doctors of Brlght's Disease and Diabetes, and had practically lost all hope. You are at liberty to publish this testimonial which I give you from the bottom ot my heart, and I sincerely wish that 1 could find the right words to express my feelings, of gratitude to you and to Dodd's Kidney Pills, tor my restoration to life and health.

A targe bouse in one of the most fashionable London squares; an upper room, furnished something between a study and * boudoir; a small fire bttcpln^ Ta the grate-^tavin spite of the April sunshine, the wind was in the east—and for sole occupant a young girl, whose age was 18, though the looked a little older, perhaps because she had cried till her eyes were hot and swollen, and her cheeks had lost their delicate coloring—a girl who was the daughter of one of the richest commoners-in England, and who yet was as unhappy as the poorest waif in London's streets. Beryl Lrndon had no mother. She could just recall a frail, delicate woman, who loved her very much, but who seemed too sad and sorrowful to show her affection. She had been a. tiny child when that mother was ^.ta^ea-'awJay^Iandiyet she had bean quite conscious that, save Tor leaving her, the tired woman was glad to go. •Her mother's love had been taken from Beryl full early, and no other had replaced it. Mr. Llndon placed his daughter in a private family at the seaside until she was 10 years old, when she was sent to a hoarding school in Brussels. Once a year he had called at the school, and had a brief, formal Inter*, view with his daughter in the principal's own sanctum; and 12 months ago he had removed Beryl from the select establishment, and brought her to his stately home In Elchester square. For one year they had lived together, father and. child, yet strangers in /heart and feeling; they drew no nearer to each other. Beryl knew perfectly that to the handsome, wellpreserved man of the world, still under 60, she was only an encumbrance. He took no trouble to conceal tbe raefc' and his -friends took little notice of the shy, frightened-looking girl they thought such a contrast to her fascinating father. She was not "out." It pleased Mr. Lindon to regard her as too young for society, so she had no chance of meeting people more congenial to her than her father's circle. She was terribly lonely, desperately unhappy;, but yet, after reading the letter which had come from Mr. Lindon that morning, it seemed to the girl she had never before known what trouble meant, and that if only things could be once more as they were yesterday she would be content. JHer iweakfast—had gone away HIT-" touched—all her meals were served upstairs in her father's absence from home—and she sat over the^fire, with a look of such pain on her face as was terrible to see in a girl of 18. Suddenly the door opened, and the housekeeper entered without the ceremony of knocking, unless, indeed, her knock had not penetrated to Beryl's dazed, stunned brain. Mrs. Markham was a kind, motherly woman, not a lady by birth, but well educated, and with more refinement of feeling than many of her superiors. She had been in Eustace Lindon's employ ever since he took the house in Elchester square 10 years before. "I came to speak to you, Miss Beryl," she said gentJy. "I had strange nows from Mr. Lindon this morning, and when Nancy came down and told me you'd not touched your breakfast, I thought perhaps he'd written to you, too." "Yes, Mrs. Markham. I can"t quite take it in, it seems too terrible." The housekeeper sat down opposite Beryl. She was quite as indignant as the girl could be. "You see, Miss Beryl, your papa's not an old man—47, I believe—and it*s natural he should tire of a lonely life. Perhaps his new wife win make things pleasanter for you. You've had but a dull time of it since you left school." "i shouldn't mind his marrying," said Beryl frankly—"in fact, I think I should be glad; but that he should choose that woman, should put her in my mother's place-Ht is terrible!" Mrs. Markham looked bewildered. "Do you mean that the lady Is any one we know, Miss Beryl? Mr. Lindon never mentioned her name to me. He only said the wedding would be at once, and he hoped to bring his wife home ou May 1." "He is going to marry Miss Maunders," said Beryl, almost apathetically. ' The housekeeper started. When Beryl Lindon first left school a very showy-looking woman was engaged as her maid-companion. Miss Maunders was supposed to walk with Beryl, look after her wardrobe, and make herself generally useful. From the first day of their meeting Beryl took antipathy to the woman. She felt that Miss Maunders was unworthy her trust and oonfldence, that she had none of the qualifications she professed; and the girt yearned to escape from the companionship she hated. At last, duly three month* ago, things come to a crisis, Miss Maunders^ whom the household suspected of a liking for stimulants, went into a more violent rage than usual, and actually forgot herself so far as to strike her employer's daughter. At that time Mr. Lindon was away, spending Christmas In the country. Beryl, half beside herself with indignation, appealed to the housekeeper. Mrs. Markham paid Miss Maunders a month's wages and dismissed her on the spot, and she departed, vowing vengeance against Beryl. And this was the person Mr. Lindon was to make his wife! The housekeeper could hardly credit it "Miss Beryl," said Mrs. Markham slowly, after a long pause, "I simply can't believe it! Are you sure you've made no mistake? Miss Maunders is no more of a lady than I am, or even one of the upper servants, and your papa's a gentleman through and thrpugh. It can't be true!" "You-hak better read his letter," said Beryl simply." "There seems no reason for doubting it." CHAPTER II. It was a very brief letter,* written on the thickest and creamiest of note paper, and barely covering tbe first paga. Few men, let us hope, could have written in such terms to their only child, especially to a motherless daughter. "Dear Beryl: I shall be married tomorrow to Miss Maunders, and I hope to return with my wife on May 1. You had better make up your mind to show proper respect and obedience to your .stepmother, whose authority over you will be complete." "It'B a cruel letter, Miss Beryl," said Mre. Markham, as she put it back in its envelope, "and may God forgive your father for writing it; but, my dear young lady, depend upon it, it's that woman's work." Beryl shivered. "Papa never cared for me," she said slowly. "Mrs. Markham, I have never said a word to any one, but I must now or my heart will break. I can never remember his kissing me, or seeming fond of me, even as a little thing." "Maybe he wanted a son, Miss Beryl; but he'd no right to visit his disappointment on you. There'll be great changes here, for there's not one of my servants will stay here and call Miss Maunders mistress." "And you will go, too?" "I wouldn't stay an hour after sfce came home; but, as it happens, Miss Beryl, rve_not_jmy_.choice^—Mr,- -Lindoh~ has'""sent me a check for £50 instead of notice, as he says his wife will prefer to be her own housekeeper. I've saved money in the 10 years I've , been here, and I don't think I shall take another situation. If I look round, I dare say I can buy the lease and good will of a small lodging house at the seaside reasonably, and that will seem more independent." Beryl put one thin hand appealingJy on the housekeeper's plump arm. "Mrs. Markham, I can't stay here, I'd rather starve! You know what that woman was before, when she was only a servant. What would she make my life like when she is mistress?" "My dear, it's av sorry business. Haven't you any relations you could go to for a bit, anybody who wornd take your part, and just tell Mr. Lindon that before you came back he must guarantee his new wife would treat you properly?" Beryl shook her head. "I don't think I have a relation in the w©r!d." "Well," confessed Mrs. Markham, "I've been here 10 years, and I've never heard your father mention a relation; but, yon see, Miss Beryl, there's the other side. Your mother must have had relations, and her family would be the best people to help you, because, naturally, they'd resent your papa's marriage as much as yon do." "Mamma had no relations," said Beryl. "I'll tell you how I know. The last thing I can remember of her was one day just before she died she begged papa to be kind to me. She said she had been an .orphan, and knew how sad it was." "BUt she might have had a brother or sister," persisted Mrs. Markham. "Miss Beryl, think quickly over your past life, and try to see if there isn't any one who'd be able to tell you." "But my past story is so short." said Beryl, *'it doesnt watot thinking over. I know we lived abroad for a year or two before my mother died. My little sister went first, and mother never got over her loss. I had a nurse who was very good to me. She could have told me all I want to knowj but papa sent her away directly after my mother's funeral. I think she went to America. "Then he took me to a family at Brighton. Doctor Burgess and his wife were not unkind to me; but they had children of their own, and I always felt like the outsider. I know I was quite glad to leave them mad go to school." "Brighton's not a ldng journey,'* said Mrs, M*jk*e^~-*I^i«4*h* -be worth while to go and see thtm." "I am sure they could tell me nothing. X stayed there till I was 10, and I know Mrs. Burgess told melons day I ought to be very fond 01 my father because he was the only relation 1 had in all the world. I think she had known my mother just a Httle. • x •.-..... They were both orphans, and brought up in the same school—a kind of charitable institution." Mrs. Markham felt in despair of finding any kindred for her young lady. There's many would say it was your duty to stay with your father and make the best of things," she went on gravely; "but when I know what that woman is I can't bear to think of you at her mercy." "If I went away, could my father force me to come back?" asked Beryl. "No. You are of an age when a girl may choose her own home; but if you leave him he can refuse to provide for you." For the first time that morning a look of hope came into Beryl's beautiful eyes. "Then I'll get a situation of some sort, and go to it before be comes home. That will be quite easy." Quite easy! The housekeeper's kindly heart ached for Her. She knew too well how hard it is for a girl with no special talents or qualifications to find a niche, and they had only three weeks. The time was all too short. "I don't want to encourage you to rebellion, Miss Beryl, and yet I can't bear to think of you at Miss Maunders' mercy. If you've quite made up your mind, my dear young lady, I'll do my best to help you find something." Hard as posts generally are to find, specially those worth having, it is often, comparatively easy to get into a situation at very low remuneration at the beginning of a school term. It happens now and then that principals have failed to settle with any one in the holidays, and have to take the first person who offers rather than SISTERS OF GOOD SHEPHERD 1 1 •mil 1 1 1 . • i l l 1 Use Ps-ru-na for Coughs, Golds, Grippe ami Catarrh—A Congressman's Letter. - X '• '-Jiv <•< ' J .- ' - . • * ' ; ' , * ' • ,• \ • * ' • V '• .. :,.'L>*'. •f•• f t . --»•' -: school shorthanded. Perhaps this explained Beryl's seeming success, for within a week of first answering advertisements she was engaged by Mrs. Tanner of Easthlll-on- Sea, as ^riglish teacher in her small* but select school in that rising watering- place. The remuneration was to be £5 a term, at which Mrs. Markham sniffed; but the teacher was to have the option of remaining during the holidays, and so would be at no expense for board and lodging. "I don't altogether like it," said Mrs. Markham, re-reading Mrs. Tanner's letter critically; "but, Miss Beryl, If only you stay a year, you'll beX^able to demand better terms in another situation, and I think you|d_ be happier-anywhere- than' here under Miss Maunders' tyranny." In'truth, that lady was now Mrs. Lindon; but both the housekeeper and Beryl continued to speak of her by her maiden name—Mrs. Markham because she grudged her erstwhile subordinate her rise in life, and Beryl because it was painful to her to give her mother's title to a woman she hated. Mrs. Markham came to see Beryl off, and had her luggage labelled for ±,asthill; then, when she had put the girl ^Into an empty third-class carriage, she lingered for a few last words. "Try and put up with things for tbe year, Miss Beryl, even if all's not as you would like. And if you're in trouble of any kind, my dear, just write to mc. My sister will send on your letters any time, and I'd be proud to help you." "Thank you." The tears were dimming the girl's sweet eyes as she put her head out of the carriage window and kissed the housekeeper warmly. "I shall be grateful to you as long as I live, Mrs. Markham. Without you I could never have managed to escape from Elchester square, and I think to have stayed there after she came would have killed me!" The bell sounded, the engine gave a shrill, unearthly sound, meant presumably for a whistle, and the trainr was off. Mrs. Markham did not turn away till she could no longer see the white handkerchief Beryl was waving; then there was a suspicious moisture in her eyes. "God help her, poor little thing, for it seems to me no one else can! It's true enough, as she says,-Mr. Lindon never loved her. and now he's married that wonia-n it's as like as not he'd be worse than ever. They say he has 30,000 a year Wd a beautiful country seat, yet his daughter is content to work hard for £5 a term. It doesn't seerr*. right, somehow." And it was not right; but Mrs. Markham did not know one fact which would have explained a good deal that ruzzled.her. Eustace Lindon had an ugly secret in his past, a dark blot upon his character he would^fain hide from all the world.. He did not admire Julia Maimers, and he had not the least desire to marry her; but men with a secret, who are leading a double life, have often to- pay dearly for the guarding of that secret. It happened that Julia Maunders knew a good +ml+t Lindon's, past life, and the pftoft*M- silence-was a wedding ring. »••'"•• « '•' tfk-te continued.)

Personal references to the deceased should be omitted. Services at the jgrave are declared to be unnecessary and in no case should the person who attended them be expected to stand with uncovered heads; The admission of curious people to view the dead before the funeral is especially deprecated. Finally a discontinuance of the custom of Wearing mourning is strongly recommeded as being "scarcely in harmony with the hope of gospel." These suggested reforms are clearly in the interest of goqdjenjje^ndjre^- A Monioe man besought his wife, he being but three years married, for the privilege of a night key. "Night key!"

What use can you have for a night key when the Woman's Emancipation League meets Monday night; the Ladies' Domestic Musion, Tuesday ; the sisters of Jerico, Wednesday ; the Woman's Science Circle, Thursday; the Daughters of Nineveh, Friday, and tne Suffrage Band on alternate Saturday nights!

Some of our funeral customs are relics of a superstitious an barbarous age are without excuse in an enlightened community. Chief among these is the senseless and extravagant outlay for flowers, coaches, funeral trappings aud other things often indulged in over people whose lives have been a struggle with poverty and pain. Lavish expenditure over the Sepulture of any person rich or poor, high or low has nothing to commend it hi reason or religion. Respect for the dead does not demand these things while proper regard for the living calls for their abolition.—Ex. S t o p t h e Couaju a n d w o r k s off t b e C o l d .

Again placing his hand on the lever, the wheels began to drag until they moved so lazily they hardly seemed to be moving at all. The propelling power consists of balls, no springs to be wound up and run down after the visitor left, no weights, nothing but the spheres flitting around in a promiscuously queer way to all appearances, each following the other in reality with an enchanting precision. \ A belt was shifted onto a pulley which set a circular saw in motion so fast that it seemed to be standing still.

Mr.- tbat wood you promised up-tne subject of funeral reform [will come very acceptable just now, so Governor Pingree's banquet iB over. But here is a real gem, and Bhows the way things are run at the White House, Washington, D. C. The following is the invitation sent by th* governor inviting tha,t body to attend his banquet. Read it over carefully and see whether Pingree has done any worse than the other fellows: To THE SENATE: Pardon me for not sending to your honorable body an invitation for my little spread tonight. Unfortunately the invitations have been delayed and I have' been unable to deliver them to'you personaly as yet, but will do so this afternoon. I tried to get the best there is, especially the wines. I attended one of the most elaborate* banquets given at the White House, less than a year ago. President Mc&inley had five glases at each plate, which were / ^ept full until near midnight. I can testify to the fact that it was the best wine' I ever drauk. I used all five of the glasses myself, and enjoyed them, in my endeavor to keep peace with the G. O. P. example. After those present had finished the feast they adjourned to the White House parlors to indulge in a fancy drink, which was called "pousse cafe." Being only a shoemaker, I had never tasted that kind of a drink before, and am not sure of the name. It was good. I also enjoyed the best cigarette I ever smoked. Of course being at the White House, I had to take. I will have some of them tonight. The only difference in the wine arrangement \& that I will have only four wines instead of five, as at the White House, one for each special session. Trusting that this will please you and that you will honor both yourself and myself with your presence this, evening, at the dinner, I am, Yours respectfully, H. S. PINGREE, Governor. P. S.—I know that our boss Senator McMillan, availed himsilf of the five White House glasses.

Doty to Present a Blo*a<*| *&**& Ins Appearance., This story is told in Denver of a man who was once a leading merchant there. lu the early days of the city he walked Its streets, out of work aud money. He was poorly clad, but neat and cleau. He sought employment from a prosperous grocer and ^aid he Was willing to do anything. The merchant at length sent him into hhs cellar to clean out a room so foully dirty that many a common laborer bad recused to enter It When the young man appeared in tho evening, be was as neat in liis appearance as he bad been in the morning. Of course thu merchant thought he had done little or nothing. But when be saw the cellar, clean and fresh, he said to the young man: { "You've not only shown that you are willing to work, but also that you have some respect for yourself. I guess I'll give you a job." This young man, who In a few years became the bead of the selfsame business, realized the important fact that* the worker is often scrutinized as closely as his work. It is a man's duty toward his fellow man to dress as well as he can afford to. Nowhere in nature does the poorly dressed man find any excuse for his lack. Even the lowest forms of animal and plant life are clothed in pleasing colors. Reptiles crawl in richly mottled skins; beasts of burden and birds of prey are clnd in fur and gay plumage. Trees blossom in wonderful foliage, and that most plebeian of vegetables, the onion, revels below the" ground in colors that artists seek to Imitate and above ground in a leafage and bloom odd and beautiful. Everywhere in nature beauty is combined with use. It remains for man, the highest and noblest specimen of the Creator's handiwork, to be the daub in the color scheme of the universe.- Weekly Bouquet. -*£"" • Kvorir WaojfcHaV.' ohasffmnle troublm, Qjaoioa to bar , Is weak, feeta ifrW, worn oat vr bM lost her NmbUioB, should take Koill'i Sea.

He possesses his* own studio in the Academy of Fine Arts 4n-Vienna; andV divides his time between the headquarters of the cavalry corps which be commands and his studio. The archduke has frequently exhibited his work anonymously, in order that it might stand on its merits' and not be favorably criticised because of his rank. According to a writer in the St. James Gazette, a part of the credit for the wonderful development of Japan in civilisation is due to the Empress Haruka. She married the emperor thirty years ago/ and, like him, is a strong supporter of western ideas. Ther emperor Is the 121st in his line, and the first who has given fcla wife a seat at his table and a voice in the national councils. She set the example in abandoning the customs of staining the teeth and shaving the- eyebrows. Diamonds have been found in considerable numbers and of very fine quality in the interior of British Guiana, on the Mazaruni River 250 miles above its Junction with the Essequibo. Mr. Moulton, our consul at Demerara, says that the London dealers to whom the stones have been forwarded consider them superior to South African diamonds and equal in quality to those of Brazil. The present diggings are situated in a tropical jungle five mile* from the river, and the region is not easily reached. The matrix from which the gems have become scattered is now the object of search. It is widely supposed that the disease called "appendicitis" was unknown to the medtcal profession until the last quarter of the present century. But an old London doctor, who writes upon the subject in the Lancet, says there is nothing new about it, except "the name and the treatment." The disease "was^welt described in the older books, and was then called "typhlitis." But its real character was rarely verified except by post-mortem examina-t tion, whereas modern surgery, with its anaesthetic and antiseptic aids, if summoned in time, is able to save nearly every patient who is not exhausted by age or otherwise depleted. Sir John Murray recently showed how remarkably the Black Sea differs from other seas and oceans. A surface current flows continuously from the Black Sea into the Mediterranean, and an under current from the Mediterranean into the Black Sea. The latter current is salt, and, being heavier than the fresh water above, it remains stagnant at the bottom. Being saturated with sulphuretted hydrogen, this water will not maintain life, and so the Black Sea contains no living inhabitants below the depth of about 100 fathoms. The deeper water when brought to the surface smells exactly like rotten eggs. ir*» ss iiijTiiiTHi » j i i ! i a » « f f » mm- M l * ^u>t;*)ii w « M i n i ;i-» POINTS THB WAY TO MPS QF W6EFUI.N388. • > ' - • • > • •! • •••••• ' ^ " » ' " i . , E i i t i Vitabtaa Like A»9ft* of Gold la B*»- ketSAC sur«r. >fs depfeclated and nailesr I made.a laughing stock, Raoks and tHriaoft^and whips and stowrccks and ax** of bahea*d*^i: did fhair worst, yet la^, heroes were mora, than^oon querors.

T ) In this discourse Br, Tahnage ahpwi an -open door' for any one who desires to' be useful and Illustrates how a ltttl* thing may decide one'e destiny. The text is Proverbs xxv., It (revised version), "A word fitly spoken la like apples of gold in baskets- of silver." A filigree (basket loaded with fruit is pit before, us in the text What is ordinarily translated "pictures" ought to be "baskets." . Here is a silver network basket containing ripe and golden apples, pippins or rennets. You know how such apples glow through the openings of a basket of silver network. Tou have seen such a basket of fruit on many a table. It whets the appetite as well as regales the vision, Solomon was evidently fond of apples, because he so often speaks of them\ While he writes in glowing terms of pomegranates and figs and grapes and mandrakes, he seems to find solace as well as luscipusness in apples, calling out for a supply of them when he says in*another place, "Comfort me with apples." Now you see the meaning of my text, "A word fitly spoken is like apples of gold in baskets of silver." You see the wise man eulogizes Just one word. Plenty of recognition has there been for great orations. Cicero's arraignment of Cataline, the philippics of Demosthenes, the five days' argument of Edmund Burke against Warren Hastings, Edward Irving's dls- ^ofF p^roolno*ng$e*d B JutMteer*a nce, bufttB 4^m^y^ ^t|e^xett her^he-saw-it by the roadstde^or One of the churches of Chester, Pa., has introduced what is a novelty there —a penny concert. These concerts are held in the church on each Friday evening, being chiefly designed for children. The church has always been crowded on these occasions, both little and big people attending in great numbers. They are charged 1 cent admission to an entertainment that is worth many times more, and which is wholesome and instructive. The smaller children are always given the center seats in front, the larger ones' the side seats. It is so distinctively an affair for children that the big people who attend have to content themselves with the back seats is there are any left. A recent number of The Railway Journal contains a story of a railway ticket which took a sudden journey on its own account As the north-bound train on the Colorado and Southern road passed one of the stations a passenger in a forward car raised a window, and in an instant his ticket was blown from his hands out of doors. The passenger naturally gave it up for extols the power of one word when it refers to "a word fitly spoken.", This may mean a single word or a small collection of words—something you can utter In one breath, something that you can compact into one sentence. "A word fitly spoken"—-an encouraging word, a kind word, a timely word, a sympathetic word, an appropriate word. I can pass right down the aisle of any church and find between pulpit and front door men whose temporal and eternal destinies have been decided by a word. Choosing- »n Occupation. I tell you what is a great crisis in every man's history. It is the time when he is.entering an occupation or ppoaari hy mp.ry In middle life, because they do not want any more rivals, and by some of the aged, because they fear being crowded off and their places being taken by younger men. Hear the often severe and unfair examinations of young lawyers by old lawyers, of young doctors by old doctors, of yoUng ministers by old ministers. Hear some of the old merchants talk about the young merchants. Trowels and hammers and scales often are jealous of new trowels and new hammers and new scales. Then it is so difficult to get introduced. How long a» time has many a physician had his sign out before he got a call for his services, and the attorney before he got a case! Who wants to risk the life of his family to a young physician who got his diploma only last spring and who may not know measles from scarlatina, or to risk the obtaining of a verdict for $20,000 to an attorney who only three years ago read the first page of Blackstone? The Need of Courage. There are so many men who have all the elements of usefulness and power except one—courage. If you can only under God give them that you give them everything. In illustrating that one word show them that every man that ever amounted to anything had terrific struggle. Show him what ships Decatur had to fight, and what a mountain Hannibal had to climb, and what a lame foot Walter Scott had to walk on, and that the greatest poet who ever lived—Milton—was blind, that one of the grandest musicians of all the ages—Beethoven—was deaf, and that Stewart, in some respects the greatest merchant that America ever saw, began in his small store, dining on bread and cheese behind the counter in a snatched interregnum between customers, he opening the store and closing it, sweeping it out with his own broom and being his own errand boy. Show them that within ten minutes' walk there are stores, shope, and factories, and homes where as brave deeds have been done as those of Leonldas at Thermopylae, as those of Horatius at the bridge, as that of Colin Camp-bell at Balaklava. Tell them what Napoleon said to his staff officer when that • WoNto of Comfort* :., k .• That word "courage" fitly *5oke» with compressed Ups and stout grip ol the fckud and an intelligent fiash of* the eye—well, the finest apples that ever thumped on the ground in an autumnal orchard and were placed in. the most beautiful basket pf silver network before keen appetites could not be more attractive. Furthermore, a comforting word fitly spoken is a beautiful thing. No one but God could give the inventory of sick beds and bereft homes and broken hearts. We ought not to let a day pass without a visit or a letter or a message or a prayer consolatory. Yon could call five minutes on your way to the factory, you could leave a half* hour earlier in the afternoon and fill a mission of solace. You could brighten a sickroom with one chysanthemum. You could send yqur carriage and give an afternoon airing to an invalid on a neighboring street. You could loan a book with some chapters most adapted to some particular misfortune. Go home today and make out a list vof things you can do that will show sympathetic thoughtfulness for*the hardly bestead. How many dark places you might illumine! How many tears you could stop, or, if already started, you could wipe away; How much like Jesus Christ you might get to be! So sympathetic was he with beggary, so helpful was he for the fallen, and so stirred was he at the sight of dropsy, epilepsy, paralysis and ophthalmia that sideratloi and lack of economy and alt manner df diaagreeablenejw drive their husband* tato djuurpation. The reason; at the eea beach, or at the mineral baths *of Bethesda, he offered relief. Cultivate genuine sympathy, Chrhrtlike sympathy. You cannot successfully dramatise it False sympathy Alexander Pope sketches in two lines! "Before her face her handkerchief she spread / To hide the flood of tears she did not shed." A Word of IVarnla*. So also is a word of* warning. A ship may sail out of harbor when the sea has not so much as a ripple, but what a foolhardy ship company would they be that made no provision for high winds and wrathful seas. However smoothly the voyage of life may ^oefrin"we vUl get rough- weather^l>efore lost, and was very much surprised when the baggagemaater handed it t o ' officer declared a certain military at him a little while later. It appears that when the ticket flew through the window a south-bound train was passing. The suction of that train, which was going at a rapid rate, drew the ticket along with it, and as it passed the rear end of the north-bound train St blew into the door of the smoking car. Then it ir|f iound by the bag- .wi. tempt to be impossible. "Impossible!" said the great commander. "Impossible is the adjective of fools." Show them also that what is true in worldly directions is more true in spiritual directions. Call the roll of prophets, apostles and martyrs and , private Christian from the time, the world tygan and ask them to mention one man or woman greatly good ox useiuTwho we harbor-on the other side, and we need ever and anon to have some one uttering In most decided tones 'the word "hsware." There are all the temptations to make this life everything and to forget that an inch of ground is larger as compared with the whole earth than this life as compared with our external existence. There are ajl the temptations of the wino cup and the demijohn, which have taken down as grand men as this or any other century has heard of There are all the temptations of pride and avarice and base indulgence and ungovernable temper. There « no word we all need oftener to hear than the word "beware." The trouble is that the warning word is apt to come too late. We allow our friends to be overcome in a fight with some evil habit before we sound an alarm. After a man is all on fire with evil haJbit your word of warning will have no more effect than would an address to a house on fire asking it to stop burning.no more use than a steam tug going out to help a ship after it has -sunk to the 'bottom"of the ocean. What use in word of warning to that inebriate whose wife was dying from wounds inflicted by his own hand? As he held the hand'of his dying wife he made this vow: "Mary, I will never tal:e another glass of strong drink until I take it from this hand which I now hold." In an awful way he kept the vow, for when the wife was in her coffin he filled a glass with brandy, put the glass into the dead hand, then took the glass out of the hand, and ^drank the liquid. Too late does any warning come to such an one; But many a man now high up in usefulness and honor was stopped on the wrong road by a kindly hand put upon the shoulder and a word fitly spoken. Ah, yes,, fitly spoken—that is, at the right time,' With the right accentuation, and the right emphasis. MDe»k with Patience. There must be no impatience, in the warning we give others. We must realize that but for the kindness of God to us we would have been in the same rapids. That man going* wrong may be struggling with a tide of evtl inherited from father and grandfather and great-grandfater. * The present temptation may be the accumulated force of generations and centuries. "No," you say, "his father was a good man. t knew him." But did you know his grandfather? Evil habit is apt to skip one »n*ragon, « fact reeognl* ed in the'T*b ' Comniandments, whien spes*vof the tW^knd fowgtk *m* * ss SB Or the man astray may have an happy home, and, that is enough wreck any one. *We often speak of men wno^dsstror their kestesi-but de not say koything abou* thefactthnt there are^thousan da of wives in America who by petulance and fretting and tnfebn* ..- J>e*'t4Ut *o««*prel Q* VQIftSrlCASB.

I know inen jrhd are, thirty* year martyrs in the fact that they arm awfully niarried. That; marriage w«s not made in heaven. Without .asking divine guidance they entered into an alliance which ought never to hays been made. That is what is the matter with many men you and I know. They may be very brava and heroic and say nothing about it, but all.the neighbors know. Now,.if the man going wrong has such domestic misfortune, be very lenient and excusatory in your word/of warning. The difference between you and him may be that yon would have gone down faster than he ingoing down if you had the same kind of conjugal wretchedness. Art of Doing Good. In mentioning fine arts people are apt to speak of music and painting and sculpture and architecture, but they, forget to mention the finest of all the fine arts—the art of doing good, the art fit helping others, the art of saving men. An art to be studied as you study music, for it is music in the fact that it drives out moral discord and substitutes eternal harmony; an art to be studied like sculpture, for it is sculpture in the<|act that it builds a man, not in the cold statue, but in immortal shape, that wlty last long after all pent el lean marble has crumbled; an art be studied as you study architecture, for it Is architecture in the fact that it builds for him a house of God, eternal in the heavens, but an art that we cannot fully learn unless God helps us. Otherwise saved by gvace divine, we can go forth to save others, and with a tenderness and compassion and a pity tnat we could not oth erwlae exercise we can pronounce the warning word with magnificent result. The Lord said to the prophet Amos, "Amos, what seest thou?" And he answered, "A basket of summer fruit" But I do not think Amos saw in that basket *of summer fruit anything more invltln? and luscious than many a saved man has seen in the warning word of some hearty, common sense Christian adviser, for a word fitly spoken is "like apples of gold inJaskets of slLver." - So also is a word of invitation potent and beautiful. Who cap describe the drawing power of that word, so small and yet so tremendous, "Come." It is a short word, but its influence io as long as eternity. Not a sesquipedalian word, spreading its energy ov*»r many syllables, but monosyllabic. Whether calling in wrong direction or right direction, many have found it irresistible. That one word has filled all the places of dissipation and dissoluteness. It is responsible for the abominations that curse the earth. Inquire at the door of persons what brought the offender there, and at the door of almshouses what brought the pauper there, and at the door of the lost world what was the cause of the incarcers tion, an,d if the inmates speak the truth they will say, "The word Come!' brought us here." Come and drink. Come and gamble. Come and sin. Come and die. Pronounce that word with one kind of inflection, and you can hear in it the tolling of all the bells of conflagration and woe. The chief baker in prison in Pharaoh's time saw in dream something quite different from apples of gold in baskets of silver, for he said to Joseph, "I also was in a dream, and, behold, r had three white baskets on my head, and in the, uppermost basket there was all manner of baked meats for Pharaoh, and the birds did eat them out of the baskets upon my head." Joseph interpreted the dream and said it meant that the chief baker should be beheaded and the birds would eat his flesh. So many a man has in his own bad habits omonB of evil that peck at him and foretell doors and death. But oh, the power of that word "Come" when aright uttered! We do well when we send young men into schools and colleges and theological seminaries and by nine years of instruction and xlrill hope to prepare them to sound aright that sweet and enrapturing and heaven descended, word "Come." ^ The gospel we believe in is a gospel of "Come!" Tnat word speak all the churches. That word is now building thrones for conquerors, and, burnished coronets for kings and queens. That word is to sound so clearly and impressively and divinely that the day is advancing when all nations shall respond, "We cornel" "We come!" And while the upper steeps toward God and heaven will be thronged with redeemed souls ascending there will not he-one solitary traveler on the road to, po<^et oe>me« out crumpled and stuck npv L •; ••:•:;,. •;{.••; ?•• 1 ^ ¾ ^ * ' - V f ' / ' * V ^. • CoeghlM X*«4» to CoB»B«tp<*on. - Kemp* Balsam wWTsto^th* ooogV at once, Go to your drogfiet^t&ii&y »»agf*%saftytabritt*|» ,^go#^ta^ 3» and 50 cans bottles, Ga a| ondh?' delays^to»geeapi:*u>i*- -/¾ .*•• ''••»••';• Japan has passed a W U>- probity* boys under 20 years of age smoking.-: *******^+m0mfmm»m*um* •ipww^^^t^^Wlf^' ; . * , ' ' • ' If you have never used GartUOd "tea, tlw original herb aediehie; send^to t*shft •-©•**-±i fteW -Tea Co., Brooklyn, If.

There were several casualties, it is said, and the remainder of the force was captured. Gen. Kitchener 'has left Naauwpoort and gone northwasds. The rapid concentration of troop* in the disturbed districts through the personal energy of Gen. Kitchener has allayed the local uneasiness. • Lord Kitchener's dispatches, breathing a confidence hardly justified by their contents, are^ almost the only available news from tHe-seatoJPhostilities in South Africa; but ""telegrams from Cape Town depict tha. situation in anything but roseate hues. Without believing the assertion of the Transvaal agency in Brussels that 6,000 Boers have invaded Cape Colony, it is quite evident that the invasion was a serious and well planned affair. . A dispatch from London dated the 30th says that 1,600 Dutch residents have joined the Boers in the Philipstown district alone. Energetic measures have been taken to stem the invasion, but there is unquestionably danger that parties of Boers will get through into parts of the colony and gradually raise the whole Cape into rebellion.

Here it forms a cell by turning round and round and changes to the pupal stage. Late In the fall, from the last of October to the time when the ground becomes frozen, the adults emerge and lay their eggs on the branches of the trees. Many of the moths do not emerge in the fall, but remain in the ground till spring. When adult the two sexes differ greatly in appearance. The male is a pretty moth, with ash gray front wings marked by three transverse darker lines and hind wings of silvery gray. The female, on the other hand, is not provided with wings, but has to crawl wherever she goes. She Is somewhat more robust than the male and ashen gray in color marked w i t h black.

The eompany was playing 'Julius Gaesar,' and at the last moment It was found that the property man had failed to send up the regular throne chair used to the sen* ate scene, and an old rustic chair was hastily procured from the left of the theater and, after being covered with draping, was pressed Into service. In the midst of the scene a large Wasps' nest was discovered attached7to the chair,.and Its inhabitants, becoming Indignant at the disturbance they had suffered, began to swarm about the stage, seeking revenge upon the Bomans in their low necked, and short sleeved dresses. The wasps seemed to be particularly offended with Csasav and it is doubtful if Caesar's death scene was ever acted with more feeling, for at the moment he was being pierced by the conspirators* daggers the wasps were most industrious i» their work.

Uses of O l l r e Oil. Olive oil should be found In every nursery and on every medicine shelf. In time of croup it can be given frequently and will not disturb the digestion, as do many medicines. It is often given In place of cod liver oil and is as effective in building up the system and far less disagreeable. It is recommended by many specialists both as a food and a tonic.

To.accomplish this end various devices have been tried, such as banding the tree with paper and on this spreading printers' ink or caterpillar lime or any thing sticky enough to prevent the caterpillars from crawling up. Perhaps the best band is made of cotton batting. A strip of this Is wound around a tree trunk and fastened securely by a string at or below the middle. The upper end is now turned down, forming a loose, fluffy mass, in which the insects get entangled and die. This method has one disadvantage. Jhe bands have to be kept on from the last of October until spring is well advanced and must be renewed after rains or when the cotton loses its fluffy nature. As the worms feed upon apple, elm, cherry and some other trees precautions must be taken to prevent them from breeding on these trees and again infesting the fruit trees. The best method of overcoming these pests, however. Is by spraying. They readily yield to a spray of one of the arsenltes (see chapter on Insecticides), which should be applied early as soon as any worms are seen, even before blooming, but never during the period of bloom. It may be necessary to repeat the spraying, but this method 1s by far -the cheapest and most satisfactory. presidential electlon7~he~said, "but r* member, young man, lightning nevei strikes In the same place twice.'

The eating .of "high" game is undoubtedly attended with risks, and th« poisonous effects are probably due Ui the toxins produced in the earlier stages of the putrefactive process. The advantage, of course, of hanging game ie-^bat-the flesh becomes tender ami decidedly more digestible than wheu it is quite fresh. The ripening proc~ essr huwever, may mean tho clnbora tlon of toxins. It has been stated that the production of the characteristic flavors of game is related directly to the amount of sulphuretted hydrogen or sulphur alcohol set free, but It is rather repulsive to think that the delicate flavor of game Is dependent upon that invariable product of decomposition of rotten eggs—sulphureted hydrogen. The smell evolved during cooking of "high** game is even more disgusting.

It w i l l be remembered that he took a trip to"Veneauela about four years ago to investigate asphalt in that country, and a company of Detroiters was formed to g o into the business, but the deal fell through. B H not Increased Tax** on Farms. State Tax Commissioner Oak man advances figures to show that the work • of the commission has not resulted in an increase of taxation for farm prop- *<jrty, as has been claimed. He says t h a t the increase in real estate througho u t the state is more than 1180,000,000, and.of this increase about $44,000,000 comes from the cities and $73,000,000 from the mines. As for personal prop- «Btjr, the increase in assessments is abottt $170,060,000, of which over $90,- 000,000 comes from the cities and $11,- 000,000 from the mines. There are over $& villages in the state, and they, too, •come in for a large share of the increased burden as assessment, as distinguished from farm properties. Found Daad In Bed. Bishop Ninde, the beloved head of the M E. church in Detroit, was discovered dead in bed on the morning of t h e 3d. The bishop retired about « l g b t o'clock on the previous evening and in the morning at the customary jtime his son George went to call him, a n d found him as though still sleeping. H e left him, but when later in the morning the bishop did not appear, Mrs. Ninde went to call hira. Finding .Inlm, as she thought still sleebing, she tried to rouse him, and failing, called t o her son, who discovered that his father was cold.

Jk total of 305 complaints were made, atfd there were 132 arrests, 100 being f o r the violations of the game laws and .$3 for violations of the fish laws. These resulted in 94 convictions and one acquittal, the balance of the cases still Ipettding. A total of $l,l.r>7.-34 in fines .and costs were collected, this being time largest sum for any one month in the.history of the department.

Death has been expected for several days. The eight criminal cases growing out of the grand jury investigation one year ago, have been continued over the term by Judge Wiest Whether any of them will be tried at the January term depends largely on the attitude of the legislature in the matter of reimbursing the county tot the expense that has already been incurred The Tivoli brewery in Detroit was the scene of a daring robbery on the morning of the 3d. Six masked men entered the place, seized the night watchman, Fred Rutz, bound and gagged him securely and piled malt bags over him. They then broke into the office and blew open the safe and looted it of over $1,000. While a force of men were repairing an old warehouse at Jackson on the 5th, the building collapsed and five workmen were buried in the ruins. Four of the men were not seriously injured, but Geo. M.

Much damage was done by the breaking away of the mill dam at Battle Creek on Dec. 30. Great volumes of v/uter poured down upon the south sides of the city on the low lands, flooding many dwellings. Ten manufacturing institutions were, without power the following day and had to close down. The electric light plant was.also out of service. It has been 20 years since there was such a Hood at Battle Creek, s Wm. Kreibel, a farmer, and wife j were instantly ki!\-.:I. on tho 2d by the noon train on t h e ^ e r e Marquette Co.'s tracks at Grand Ledge.

Military appointments have been announced as follows: Archie Achard, of Saginaw, detailed to the quartermaster- general's office; Capt A. M. Clark, of Detroit, clerk in the adjutant-general's office; Chas. A. Carroll, of Ionia, storekeeper in the quartermaster-general's office Clark, Tobin, Bennett and Carroll are G. A. R. men.

Pingree performed his last officially act oh the 3d when b e - s e n t to the senate a big batch of recess appointments, which have to be confirmed.

In order to stir things up. a member of the Wayne delegation intends to introduce a bill in the legislature next week providing for the removal of the seat of the state's capital to Detroit lie expects that it will mi?et an early death, but the bill will serve to agitate^ the matter. Politicians generally would welcome the change, though they recognize that it will never be effected until Detroit agrees to spend sufficient money to erect a suitable building. Several bills are being prepared to increase the sal aries of various officials. The salary -.)1 the mayor of Detroit may be fixed at $6,000, and judge of probate changed form $5,000 to $6,000. Something will also probably be done towards increasing the salary of the chief executive o* the state, who now gets but $4,000 a year, and some members of the legislature think the office should command $10,000. Gov. Bliss has appointed Burrell Gould, of Saginaw, to succeed John Townsend as clerk in the executive office, and Archie Oakes, of Coopersville, messenger in the executive office during the sessions of the legislature, in accordance with a resolution adopted b y the house. At the afternoon session on the 3d, the senate passed the Charlevoix bridge bonding billT which passed the house in the forenoon, and which failed to pass the last legislature. It is unusual to pass a bill so early in the session. Gov. Bliss has announced the appointment of Tom A Hanna, publisher of the Iron Mountain Press, as commissioner of mineral statistics to succeed JameB Russell, of Marquette. The salary is $2,500 a year, Levi C. Smith has been appointed county agent of the state board of corrections and charities for Allegan county. J. W. Tobin, of Brighton, has been appointed state armorer. :" Members of the Kent and Wayne house delegations are sore o n ex- Speaker Adams. They say he tried to throw the Kent boys on the fight for sergeant-at-arms. Senator Atwood's Opinion. There is considerable speculation as .to whether the new legislature will seriously attempt to pass an equal tax bill, some of the politicians claiming that Senator McMillan's plan to have a commission appointed to investigate the entire taxation question may be adopted, instead. However, Senator Atwood on the 1st, said: "My opinion is that some sort of a tax measure will be passed at thin winter's session." Colorado was visitad by a blizzard on the 29th and 30th.

Pingree s exaugural message was delivered to both houses of t h e legislature at noon on the 3d. Following are a few extracts taken from the same with comments: "I do not claim to be perfect," said Mr. Pingree to them, "but I do claim to have the back-bone to speak out as to what I think is my duty and yours. There are questions before us which require conscientious study. I have studied them for the last four years regardless of what conspiracies there might be against me, political, judicial or any other, including t h e press. To be governor is a high honor but a very expensive luxury. I can truthfully say I have had to spend $40,000 of my own hard-earned money. I never received a bribe from our best citizens and I fcavehad to spend $10,000 a year to keep pace with the times and do the work. It is up to you to see that an appropriation is made for the governor to pay bi» honest bills. **Th« governor can't go out of town with bis staff without paying their bills. Railroad travel 1B expensive at three cents a mile. I could have carried my family and my staff all over the United States if I consented to allow the railroads and other corporations to rop* this state." riugiee showed h o w other states pay their governors enough to meet expenses and commented1 bitterly on the criticisms of his buying a few postage •stamps. \ Taking up the question of pardons and paroles, he said there are twice as many men who should be released rotting in .Michigan jails as he had released. The pardon board is the biggist farce of any state commission, he said. He then waded into his big message, and a number of senators got out their newspapers. The e^c-govemor stood it for a time but before long he stopped the reading and said deliberately: "The distinguished senators might have the courtesy to postpone t h e reading—of—their newspaper&rr There is a few things in this message they ought to listen to." The governor said that if t h e young man on the bench in Ingham county thinks he, Pingree, is in contempt of his court alone he is mistaken for he holds in contempt dozens of cowrts in this state. He Bays they violate the laws themselves and call it justice. "I leave it to you," said he, whether these gentlemen should be allowed to* sit on the bench or n o t I t is up to yownow." He suggest that changes be made in the law governing the terra to be given a man convicted of murder in the second degree. In another extra be- takes up the Ingham county trials audi gives the people concerned a few rape* He apologizes, to the people for not removing Prosecuting Attorney TUttle, as he knows "he is a thief, and deceiver and a briber." These a m his exact words: "I realize that it was my duty and that I had the authority to> semove this man, but I did not do so because the state of my health was such, that I could not explain to the people as I should the reason for my actions, and I knew the prejudiced press wooid not do so." He then said that the Ingham county grand jury w a s a disgpace to the state; that grand juries.are a relic of the dark ages and very few states allow them. Two members of the jury, he states, offered to report everything that was said before the morning session of court for $1,000. He got it through a detective1 for $400. Honest men would be shocked and disgusted if they knew all the details of the "conspiracy," he adds. As to the contempt case, Pingree quotes an alleged statement by W test's predecessor to the effect that 4 i the governor was an old bald-headed .*t The contempt proceedings were started/ he argues, because they were afraid he was not y e t politically dead. Pingree then accounted for his not staying all the time in Lansing by telling an amusing story of the accommodations in the two leading hotels. M M - — • — Amor Threataned With Famine.

The officials of the secret service of the treasury department, under tbe direction of Chief Wilkie, made a number of highly important arrest* I n New York city on the 5th. For a t least two months the secret service peop e have been at work to discover t x • makers of a large number of all silv tr counterfeit coins, mostly quarters and halves, which were being fr>jly circulated in New York.

" Jr*ofefty presses harder on a man's jMjide generally than pin a woman's, perkapa because most women, care more, for persona than for thing*; and w|4le^ those near and dear to them arfivVell and happy, the pin prick* of haying to go without many things Uvair neighbors have are not so keenly jfejt, while, to a man each is a mortification. , Harold Dynevor was a good gon, and a brave man; but poverty tried him sorely, and there was a constant chafing at the injustice of circumstances which made his life harder than, it might have been, but which those who knew his story thought only natural. Harold was a gentleman farmer. He worked quite as hard as many farmers w^o did not own the prefix; but he was the last male representative' of a good old county family, who had been known- in Sussex for many generations. He. was popular wherever he went, his mother was devoted to him, h|s pretty sister, Kitty, looked up to him with fervent admiration; but Harold Dynevor could not be called a happy man. He had inherited a grievance, and the recollection of it marred his content. "You're tired out, Harold," said Kitty gently. "I'm sure you work as hard as any of your own men. Sit down in your armchair, and I'll go and hurry tea." "All right, dear," he said> gratefully. "It may do me good, for I've a splitting headache." Mrs. Dynevor waited till her daugh ter.wa8-outof hearing,4hen-she~asked—sound healthaodoubt he thought anxiously: "Is there anything wrong, Harold? You were going in to Marton; did you see Mr. Proctor?" "I saw him, mother, and got a receipt in full. There's bad news. I meant to keep it from you, but I can see I've betrayed there's something wrong, so I'd better tell you the truth, for fear you think it worse than it is." "You don't mean that the mortgagee wants to foreclose, Harold?" Poor lady! that was the bugbear of her life. Uplands, the land which her son farmed, was "her very own. It had been her wedding portion, and the home of~her^ married Tlffr WfienTwad seasons came, and expenses multiplied, with her full consent her husband raised a mortgage on the farm. They had thought lightly of it then —a few good harvests would soon enable them to pay off the debt; but it had never been paid off In all those years. It hung like an incubus about them, and Mrs. Dynevor's one dread was that some- day the mortgagee would foreclose, and, if they could not find the £5,000 due to him, they would have to leave their beloved home. "No, mother," said Harold quietly, "it's not so bad as that; but you will like the news as little as I do. It seems Mr. King has been settling his affairs, and he has transferred the mortgagejm the Uplands to some one else. Proctor told me the Interest was still to be paid to him, so we shall have no personal dealings with our new creditor." 'Then I don't see that it matters," said Mrs. Dynevor. "Your dear father always said Mr. King was a very honest man. Do you mean that you have heard a bad account of the new mortgagee?** "He is a man we both have cause to fear and dislike, mother—Eustace Lindon?" Mrs. Dynevor had grown white even to her lips—nothing could 'have ter-. rifled her more; but she was a brave woman, and she knew, besides, where help and strength were to be found!' One silent prayer to heaven, and she answered calmly: "There Is only one thing for It, Harold— we must raise the £5.000 and pay off the mortgage. To be at that man's mercy is more than I can hear!" "1 don-t see how we're to do it." •'said Harold, gloomily. "There's no money In the bank, and we must spend a good sum on the farm this year, for everything wants renewing. The blow couldn't have come at a worse time." "t wonder what his object is?" said Mrs. Dynevor quickly. "He has never one* been hear this place since ho left it with your poor Aunt Nina just after their wedding. Not a year after her death he let the Manor to General Craven for fourteen years, and, except pocketing the money from the estate. he has taken not the least interest in the property since." "Proctor says he has married again, and thinks he means to settle at the Minor. The general's lease expires tear, and he has refused to renew it" !!Ithe means to live here,' of course b*#0 *een said tfc.havdv Wrong**Me Dynevors, yet every one for miles around Dyaeww Manor regardeeVhim as their despoUer. \ f t w a e .«i fad Htji©;; story, * * > e l ! known that every villager could have repeated it. When Mrs. Dynevor married and settled at the Uplands, her husband had an elder brother, Frank, who was 'squire of. Dene, and the largest land owner for miles round. Frank Dynevor was devoted to the young couple at the Uplands. A good deal older than his brother, Charles, and a very studious, reserved man, he had reached the age of 40 without marrying. People were beginning to look on him as a confirmed bachelor, and to regard the little boy at the farm as the heir of the Manor, when, before Harold was 5 years old, his uncle suddenly returned from a summer holiday with a wife of 18. There was not the least mystery about his young wife's antecedents. She was an officer's daughter, and had been brought up in an orphan asylum, which found her a situation as soon as she was old enough. She had been in it just six months when Mr. Dynevor came on a visit to her employer, and converted their little nursery governess into the mistress of the Manor. If the family at the "Uplands were disappointed, they made no sign, and welcomed the bride warmly. Frank Dynevor told his brother he meant to settle a small fortune on little Harold, "in case farming failed;" but he was not a businesslike man, and, being in. there was no hurry, and he might well wait till his nephew was out of the nursery. The baby who arrived at the Manor within a year of the wedding was a girl. She was 2 years old when her father took it into his head to go out to Australia to hunt up some information for a book he was writing. Nina dreaded the sea, so he left her and her little girl at home. From that voyage he never returned. He died at sea. And Mr. Eustace Lindon, a fellow passenger, who had been with him a great deal at the last, brought the news to the poor little widow at East hill. he would want, to get rid .of us first," said vMrs. Dynevor quietly, "for men nevet like the near presence of those * Wow. uettfdlftf to the strict letter of tte J * ? . J - » » tW -Union oouM not Dynevor's will was read, his brother was amazed to find there was no mention whatever of hl6 promise to secure Harold's future. It had been made immediately after the birth of little Lillian, and It left everything in trust to his wife for her daughter, and if the child died before reaching the age of 21 her mother inherited everything, with power to bequeath it to whom she pleased. No wonder the Charles Dynevors were aggrieved. They would not have grudged the estate to Lillian; but that it should revert to her mother, that a girl who had never seen the old house three years before should have power, if her child died, to leave it away from the family who had owned it for centuries—it was terrible I Perhaps their sense of injustice made the Charles Dynevors keep aloof from the young widow, and so they did not realize "how quickly her acquaintance with Eustace Lindon ripened into intimacy; and it came on them like a thunderbolt when, a year and a day after ner husband's death. Nina married the specious adventurer and went abroad with him. Very little news of her reached EasthiTl. That she had a second child —another daughter—and that her health failed so rapidly she was obliged to live always in the south of Francs, was all the DyneVors heard in the first few years. Then there came a formal letter from -Eustace Lindon, acquainting them with his ..stepdaughter's death; and, barely six months later, another to announce that his wife had passed away. "She will have left him all the ready money; but she can't be so base as to bequeath him the Manor," Charles Dynevor said to his wife, "I don't know. She was perfectly infatuated with him, and I suppose she would think of her child," replied Mrs. Dynevor. But there was no mention of her child; in the will. Mr. Dynevor paid half a. guinea for a copy of it. It had been made immediately after the death of her firstborn, and it simply bequeathed "all property of which I may die possessed, real or personal, of every description whatever, to my dear husband, Eustace Lindon." It had been drawn up by an English lawyer, and witnessed by the-doctor and nurse who attended little Lillian In ner last Illness. Everything- was perfectly in- form. Mr. Proctor, the leading solicitor of Marton, who had been st school with Harold Dynevor, and remained bis tfost friend, said that ta upset it wonld* te units inv possible..... , ;% :., •• \.y,.;..;*. So Eustace lindon enioyed his thousand* and the Dynevors grew poorer every year. Tot father li^ef MX his only son was old enough to take up the burden he had bonse so bravely. His dyin*> words charged Harold to D#> good to his mother an& Kitty, and never, if he could help it, accept anf favor at the hands of Bostace Lindon. "I can't explain H to you, my boy," said the dying man, solemnly, "but I save thought a great deal about the past since my illness began, I would not say a word to your mother, lest she should brood over it; but I can't help feeling Lindon did not play straight. Your Aunt Nina was little more than a child when be married her; but she was singularly frank and true. Knowing as she did that Dynevor Manor had been in our family for centuries, I can't believe she would have left it away from the old name willingly." "Do you mean you think the will was a forgery?" asked Harold. "No; I believe it was obtained from her by undue influence. When she was very ill he must liave worked on her fears in some way or other. I can't explain what I think, Harold; but I seem to know Nina Lindon never did us such a wrong willingly." "I could understand it better if she haid left anything to her child," .said Harold. "The injustice to us would have <been the same, but it would have been more natural." Mr. Dynevor shook his head. "It's a mystery we shan't fathom here, my boy. Only, with the instinct God sends sometimes to the dying, I seem to feel that Lindon is to blame. If he comes to live at the Manor, avoid him toy every means in your power." And that was the story of the past It was not strange that, remembering his father's last words, it was torture CHAPTER IV. There was consternation at the Manor and the Uplands; Inrt^when Frankrhvor Manor they made it perfectly~ciear to Harold Dynevor to think that the mortgage on his mother's home was held by Eustace Lindon. Kitty and the tea tray came in together. There was a capable woman servant at the Uplands, but she had her hands pretty full; and* both Mrs. Dynevor and her daughter -were tbor^ oughly domesticated, sweet, homekeeping women both of them, not learned in 'ologles and science, perhaps, but well gifted to make those about them happy. Harold felt quite refreshed after his tea, and asked his sister cheerfully if any one had been there that afternoon. "Only Helen Craven. She wants us to go to dinner there next week. I said Tuesday would suit you best." When the Cravens settled at Dyne to the family at the Uplands that they regarded them as friends and equals. The young Dynevors had spent, some of their happiest days at the Manor, and Helen Craven was Kitty's closest friend. "Tuesday will do nicely," said Har-« old. "I shall be glad of a little talk with the general. He may be able to tell me something about his landlord/' "Helen was quite radiant," went on Kitty. "It seemfe Alick is coming home next week on leave, and is going to bring his friend Captain Tempest with h i m . " She spoke with studied carelessness^ and yet the speech- had cost her an effort. Kitty and her mother were both dreadfully afraid Harold cared for Helen Craven. Loving him as they did, they were of course persuaded he could hatfe Won the general's "daughter had he only made up his mind to woo. Both believed only his poverty and pride had kept him silent, and it had come on tbem as a blow when they discovered the great interest Helen took in the visits of her brother's chum, and they were forced to see that Captain Tempest was already more to her than Harold had ever been. So Kitty made this remark tentatively, as a sort of breaking the news to Harold that if he entered the lists he would be too late. Dynevor never guessed Kitty'3 suspicions. He smiled quite cheerfully as he said: "Sets the wind in that direction? Well, you^ will miss Helen dreadfully. Kitty, If she marries; but she is 22, so I suppose it's time she began to think of such a thing, and Jack Temple is a right down good fellow. I took a great fancy to him when he was here at Christmas. I only hope you'll have as good fortune, Miss Kitty, when your time comes." Kitty and her mother exchanged congratulatory glances, which seemed to say: "He does not mind! he could not have cared for her really after all." (To be continued.) "Iam so Glad you are well.

To select glass with discretion it is necessary to understand somewhat of its manufacture and to recall the properties of the chemicals of which it 1s composed. These materials aire chiefly soda, potash, lime, alumina and oxide of lead. The quality of the glass to be manufactured depends upon the amount of the basic material united with the silica or sand. The best glass is made with lead, which gives to it luster, fusibility * and high refractory powers. It Is often called fliDt glass to distinguish it-from lime glass, which is much cheaper and of a decidedly greenish tint. Flint glass is that which is most generally used for cutting and polishing. It may be picked out by the clear, belllike tone which it sends forth when struck. This test may be made without any danger of breaking the glass if it be held firmly in one hand while the upper part or edge is sharply struck with a pencil or other instrument,, the only care requisite being to see that the glass does not touch any object when it is struck, since if there be room for it to vibrato glass will never break.— Harper's Bazar.

No farme/ can afford to waste the manure that Is made on the farm, and one of the great advantages to the land, and consequently to its owner, in stock farming, lies in the fact that it makes a large amount of barnyard manure with which to maintain fertility, and dairy farming does this to a still greater extent, as Iowa Homestead explains. To the busy farmer the time when tne manure should be hauled is a matter of importance. With leisure for the work at command, and a proper place to put it on the land, the ideal way to treat manure would be to haul it out and spread It as it is made. Other urgent work, however, makes this impracticable in most cases. A great deal may be said, therefore, In favor o f hauling out manure in the late fall and winter. There are at that time no crops in the field either to demand the farmer's attention or to be an obstacle to hauling out the manure. The ground, too, is usually firm, making the draft over the field comparatively light, and it Is not as unpleasant a task on a moderately cold day as it is at some other seasons of the year. It Is a good time, too, to distribute the manure so that it will do the most good, and if it is too cold to scatter it it may be piled on the ridges and thin places to be scattered at the first thaw. If one will make a systematic effort to distribute the manure made on the place, giving the subject some thought, means can be devised to render the work easier. A low wagon, for example, is more easily loaded, broad tires cut the fields less and are of lighter draft, movable bottoms to the wagon bed, such as are used by teamsters who haul dirt in and about cities, will ^mke-the-jvork_oi_unloading easy. m—mmm* Th« Tfipo4 of Atrrt«mltar«, Commercial fertilizers contain a variety of substances, but only three 4>f such importance that tne farmer oaa afford to buy them at the pricet charged for eonoontnt^d mwnnrfti. id* •> ,••: '' tortvt "Wmmmm' who b u female troubles, cnamon to htr •ex, is weak, feels tired, worn oat or ha* lost her'ambition, should take Kulll's Bad Pills for Wan People, VP*J«\<» Weak," cording to' Dr. R. a Kedxie, who says: They often contain lime, magnesia, til* lea, oxide of iron, sulphates, chlorides, etc.. many of these of value as manures, but they can be bought tor less money than is charged for the commercial fertilisers. The fertilisers may contain all these, but we buy them because they contain in addition one or more of three materials—via!, potash, phosphoric acid and active nitrogen. It is the presence* of these materials that gives commercial value to fertilisers. If the dealer boasts that bis manure also contains alumina, silica, oxide of iron, lime and magnesia, the sufficient answer is that these materials make up the mass of all soils and that the farmer buys bis land by th£ acre and not by the ton. The only manurial materials tbat a farmer can afford to buy at prices demanded for fertilizers, are these three most necessary, most precious and most easily exhausted\elemeuts of plant growth, the tripod of agriculture. In the absence of any one of these three materials no plant can grow to perfection. They are the great Blood and Jferv* Mrir ioipc and Developer, They ieatoaei health Strength and Beauty. Only 26o. Try If it has been difficult or impossible to haul out manure earlier, the farm will be all the better for a thorough cleaning up now and for a month or six weeks to come, and the fields will respond better to next year's demands upon them- Slovenly Method*. It Is a too common practice anions farmers In some western sections n follow slovenly methods in 'feed'i'ii:" stock. Instead of getting ;i few fee? ot cheap lumber for a floor on which to feed or making a few troughs whole grain is strewn on the ground for th< hogs to gather up as best tlioy u;::y X)ften the rainy season begins bci!!.i:;- the hogs are sold. Then the tottiyaro becomes a slough of mini, out of whioh the animals wprk very jissiiluous'y ;>, gather their daily food. This ••.KI.V I>< an extreme picture, but who l;.i-. u.n seen it many times.

Not the least mysterious of all the wonders of the earth is the extraordinary cleverness of Dame Nature as a carver and designer. Her tools are air, rain, rivers, springs and frost. Any one who has ever seen'the marvelous Queen liess rock on the North Cornish coast, tbat wonderful presentment of the great Queen Elizabeth, who is seated so grandly upon the sands, must have asked himself the question as to how such a thing could have been accomplished. Continuous trickling of water wears away the face of the rock. Haphazard It was until at last a weird pattern is formed that sometimes resembles a man's face, sometimes an animal. All over the world Nature has placed her picture gallery and her collection of statuary, the biggest free show in the world. Another work of Nature's that very often results in extraordinary changes being effected is a landslip. And landslips have arisen from the tiniest possible causes. A little underground flow of water had gradually undermined a hill or cliff until at last the earth became like a hollow nut Then the soil became top heavy. The sea beat against its foundations, and millions of tons of earth were flung into the sea, which proves the axiom that the tiniest beginnings often produce the mightiest ends.

Potato^ Ia*aetl«M*!< From Its experiments with insecticides upon potatoes the Maine station arrives at the following conclusion: In fighting the Colorado potato beetle no adequate^ubstitute for arsenical poisons has yet been found. The efforts are now limited to finding cheaper or more/ effective compounds of arsenic than paris green. The arsenical insecticides are best applied with water in the form of a fine spray as soon as the slugs appear. Unless applied in connection with bordeaux mixture it is safest to use lime with all arsenical compounds. The applications should be repeated as often as necessary. Some of the cheaper arsenoids were in these experiments as effective as paris green. There is no reason for using them in place of paris green unless they can be had at a lower price. Lead arsenate is the most satisfactory of the j insecticides, used by the station. It is apparently slower in action than the copper compounds of arsenic, but it can be more evenly applied, and it adheres firmly to the foliage without burning. Storage For Corn Fodder. A shed or mow 40 by 40 feet, with posts 20 feet, will store enough long stover to feed 25 horses and young cattle five months if the corn was cut jvltb £L high fltubble and none of the feed is wasted by outdoor* feeding. A small percentage of the corn crop goes Into the silo—a very small percentage notwithstanding all that has been said in favor of the silo. A very small percentage of the stover is shredded. The bulk of this feeding stuff is fed long because it is too cheap and plentiful in much of the corn belt to justify the labor of cutting. But outside of the. heart of the biggest corn production it pays to house all the stover needed for feeding, even if shredding and cutting are considered out of the question. When tied in bundles with string, it can be handled rapidly, and the needed so great as many suppose,—National Stockman. One Thing and Another. - A movement is iu progress in San Francisco to raise funds to purchase the property to make a forest reserve which will include the Santa Cruz big trees and a large forest of redwood. Sheep are crowding the cattle on the ranges of the Rocky mountains, so much has the former industry expanded in the past few years. Where mutton is made strictly supplementary to grain growing farming of more or less intensive character should be adopted. This involves the growing of clover, rape, vetches and other forage plants as rotation crops, these to be pastured off or to be harvested as bay for winter feeding. A popular method is to grow two successive grain crops, following these with clover or some cultivated crop. Five barrels of Kansas apples which took first premium at Paris were gathered in Leavenworth and Wyandotte counties. The Kansas station finds that in a shortage of both grain and roughage feeders can get more gains by mixing the grain and hay. The explanation is that where grain is fed alone much of It is not brought back to the mouth again, while if the grain is mixed with hay all of it gets the benefit of thorough mastication in the cud, and there is less difficulty from scouring where grain and hay are fed together. Packing company buyers consider ground corn and alfalfa the best feed for cattle.

H&S?*tVrtS:l8SfJlrt The gr^at organ for the Temple ot Music, which is to cost $10,000. is un der construction by Emmons Howard & Son. aud already there is much eagerness among the leading organist;; of the United States to have the privilege of playing upon it during the Ex ! position. Two recitals by prominent exponents of this branch of musical art will be given each day. Concerts by the leading instrumental organizations of America and Europe will be given every day during the progress ot tbe Exposition in the Music Temple and from the band stands in the Plaza. Esplanade and other parts of tbe grounds. In connection with the subject of music at the Pan-American Ex-' position mention should be made o> tbe notable attractions to music lovers to be provided at the great Saengerfes; of the North American Saengorbund, which will open In Buffalo on Monday evening, June 24, 1901. , i No feature of the Pan-American Exposition will be of more importance than the exhibit of mines aud metallurgy. The building to be devoted to these exhibits is one of a group of three magniOcent structures, arranged' in the form of a horseshoe, at the west- '• ern boundary of the Esplanade. The Mines buildiug is the southernmost of, the group and is connected with the Horticultural building by one of the, conservatories which dank the ilorti- j cultural building on the north and! south. It Is 150 feet square, and at j each of the four corners it has a square : tower GO feet high. The eastern fa- \ cade, looking upon the Esplanade, i Bhows three high recessed arches be- [ tween the towers, forming un open loggia elaborately and beautifully ornamented with plastic detail aud decorated, in brilliant colors. From tl^£, loggia are tbe main entrances to the j building. There are also entrances in j the corner towers. The ornamental detail is very picturesque and interest- j lng. The design is by Peabody * Stearns of Bostou. i Never was the science of -metallurgy | or skill in mining more' highly devel-1 oped than in the present day. The! golden decorations of King Solomon's Temple are estimated to have cost ( $230,000,000. Ever since the account In the book of Genesis of flndlug gold along the river Pison. a stream which flows from the Garden of Eden, the seek-! lng for and mining of gold have been] among tne most rnscmaTragTitrusTrre. : The production of gold throughout the world during the present century ha9 -steadily increased. The production in the United States in 1S0D amouuted to $72,500,000. while that of the whole, world is given at $315,000,000, thus giv j ing the United States the first position in production of gold of any country, i In the matter of copper the United States produces 2*23,000 tons annually,' or more than" one-half of the world's output Tbe United States and Mexico j are the two greatest silver producing' countries. In other mining produo) tions, the commercial value of which is ( considerably greater than that of tbo; precious metals, the -countries of Pan- America also lead the world. During the last year the coal output of the; United, States reached the euormoua amount of 226.000,000 tons* This, as, compared with Great Britain's output of about 200,000,000 tonsr and Germany's 100.000.000 tons, makes the question of the future production o(| coal, considering the rapid increase in i i uraropean limit and i wblcb It more than the entire po! , tion of tbe country at tbe time of tbe Centennial Exposition at Philadelphia, , It Is about twice tbe number living ! within tbe same distance of Chicago. 1 Tbe great Falls of Niagara constitute ; an important attraction to tourists who I expect to visit tbe Exposition, as they ! are only half an hour's ride from tbe \ Exposition grounds, and excellent rail* I way accommodations are provided bei tween the cities of Buffalo and Niagara i Falls. Near at hand also is the great I summer school in the grove on Lake 1 Chautauqua's shores, known as the Chautauqua Assembly. Buffalo has a population of nearly ; 400,000, and this is the first great Ex- , position held in the east since the Centennial. 25 years ago. For the several reasons here noted it is expected that tbe attendance to the Pan-American Exposition will be very large and that the results will be very gratifying in tbe promotion of trade among all the states and nations of the western hemisphere and in the establishment of more cordial relations among all the people of the western world. American ana- Tneuract rnat M A R K R E N N ' M production has reached its is already declining, especially note-j worthy at this time. The Canadian! output of coal and iron is an item of great importance. The near proximity of iron and coking coal and the proper fluxes gives Canada a great advantage In the manufacture of iron and steel. I The advancement of these Industries j In North America during the past dec-! ade has been phenomenal, the total pro- j. duction of the United States last year : amounting in value to $413,758,414 and j of nonmetalllc substances to a total of , $601,872,031. j Nearly $3,000,000 will be required to •' ,_ , .^ ,, x ,, . . , . - . „ , * construct and equip the wonderful h J *»* s a i d t h a t the plamLff "had acted like an unmannerly boor." but since aht :'ti Ger.-inn La>v of I.r.»i*\ T h e CjtM'iiinu Jaw of lib*.

The winter's tale of wrecks on our coasts has begun, and in the agony of great peril how precious must seem a single foot of American soil beyond the waiting reefs and treacherous sands! The Elyeeo Palace hotel, at Paris, is so largely patronized by English people that when, just before the arrival of President Kruger, his agent, Dr. Leyds, andeavored to secure rooms for him there, the managers refused to let him have them at any price, with the result that President Kruger was forced to take up his abode elsewhere. Now Buffalo contributes to the di* vorce scandals of the country. A divorce "mill" has been discovered there, which has secured with secrecy and celerity by means of deception, bribery anu intimidation. Scores of the cases have been uncontested. A searching investigation is now being conducted by the trial justices of the supreme court, but already great harm has been done. George Benjamin Clemenceau, now a "struggle-for-lifer" in Paris, earning a scant living with his pen, was ten years, ago one of the foremost figures in French politics. Clemenceau was thrown up to the surface of affairs by the revolution of 1870, and from that time until 1891 he was as conspicuous as any. character in Paris. Arising with the storm of the revolution, he sank !n the excitement of the Panama affair. Search for the casket containing the remains of Charles Coghlan has been abandoned at Galveston. The noted actor died there in November in 1899, and for some unknown reason the metallic casket containing the body was Btill In Galveston when the terrible tidal wave swept over the place September 8 last. The casket was swept from the receiving vault and is now believed to have been carried out to sea. In Vienna there is a school for waiters. The first course is devoted to a theoretical exposition of the art of serving at table. When the pupils have sufficiently mastered the principles of the art, they are allowed to practice on two ladies and-two gentlemen in evening dress who dine at one table. The professor, watches the operation, and sharply calls the vfaiter to~accpunt if he uses an ordinary cork screw instead of an automatic one, or' carelessly puts his finger in the soup. If he should be without gloves, he is shown how to conceal the fact by means of the serviette, and so forth. There are 1,900 pupils in this school alone. The east end of Paris. like that ot London, is at present overrun with ruffians of the Hooligan type, who are known as "les ceintures bleues," because each wears a blue belt as the sign of his villainous associations. Last week opened with the arrest of several gangs, which consist of youths aged from 15 to 17 years, who are evidently a continuation of the mr.sked robbers of Montreuil, at present awaiting trial. They employ women as decoys, and their practice is to makemidnight attacks on villas and shops, using considerable violence when opposition is offered to their depredations. Scores of extra police have been drafted into the district, and tt is hoped the end.of Parisian Hooliganism is nigh. A secre: society called the Hom« Makers has a large membership among the foreigners in the mining districts of Pennsylvania. The purpose of the organization is to provide and maintain pleasant homes for its members and those dependent upon them, and as gossipy, careless wives and mothers are held -by them to be the cause of a majority of the unhappy,ill-kept homes and neglected children, the society believes the members have a right to use every .possible means to see that their homes ar not neglected. A member who eorroets his wife by beating her must do so only after all other means to induce her to* do her duty have failed. The society pays for the defense of its members when arrested for wtfs beating, and in case of conviction tht ftps <Copyrlght, 1501, by Louis KJopsch, N. Y.) Washington, Jan. 6.-In this d#- course-Dr. Talmago tells something Of what he expects the next hundred years will achieve and declares that the outlook is most inspiring; text, IJ. Samuel xxlii., 4, "A morning without cipuda." "What do you expect of this new century?" is the question often asked of me, and many others have been plied with the same inquiry. In the realm of invention I expect something as startling as the telegraph and the telephone and the X ray. In the realm of poetry I expect as great poets as Longfellow and Tennyson.: In4.Jthe realm of medicine I expect the cure of cancer and consumption. In the realm of religion r expect more than one Pentecost like that of 1857, when 500,000 souls professed to have been converted. I expect that universal peace will reign and that before the arrival of the two thousandth year gunpowder will 'be out of use except for blaft|njttpcks or pyrotechnic entertainment. I expect that before this new century has expired the millennium will be fu\ly inaugurated. The twentieth century wtill be as much an improvement on the nineteenth century as the nineteenth century was an improvement on the eighteenth. But the conventional length of sermonic discourse will allow us only time for one hopeful oonsideratlon,and that will be the redemption of the cities. Civic Pride Commendable. I have noticed that a man never likes a city where he has not behaved well. People who have a free ride in the prison van never like the city that furnishes the vehicle. When I find Argos and Rhodes and Smyrna trying to prove themselves the birthplace of Homer, I conclude right away that Homer behaved well. He liked them, and they liked him. We must not war on laudable city pride or with the idea of building ourselves up at any time to try to pull others down. Boston must continue to point to Its Faneuil hall and to its superior educational advantages. Philadelphia must continue to point to Its Independence hall and Its mint and its Girard college. New York must continue to exult in its matchless harbor and its vast population &wi its institutions of mercy . and its ever widening commerce. Washington must continue to rejoice in the fact that it is the most beautiful city under the sun. If I should find a man coming from any city having no pride In that city, that city having been the place of his nativity or now being the place of his residence, I would feel like asking him right "away: "Wiiat mean thing have you been doing there? What outrageous thing have you been guilty of that you do not like the place?" Good Overbalance Evil. I know there are sorrot/s andr there are sins and there are sufferings all around about us, but as in some bitter cold winter,day when we are thrashing our arms around us to keep our thumbs from freezing we think of the warm spring day that will after awhile come, or in the dark winter night we look up and we see the northern lights, the windows of heaven illumined by some great victory, just so we look up from the night of suffering and sorrow and wretchedness in our cities, and we see a light streaming through from the other side, and we know we are on the way to morning—more than that, on the way to "a morning without clouds." I want you to understand, all you who are toiling for Christ, that the castles of sin are all going to be captured. The victory for Christ in these great towns is going to be so complete that not a man on earth or an angel in heaven or a devil in hell will dispute it. How do 1 know? I know it just as certainly as God lives and that this is holy truth. The old Bible 1s full of it. The nation is to be saved; of course, all the citie3 are to be saved. It makes a great difference with you and with me whether we are toiling on toward a defeat or toiling on toward a victory. LeMenlng- t h e Borden*. In that day of which I speak taxes will be a mere nothfhg. Now our business men are taxed for everything. City taxes, county taxes, state taxes, United States taxes, stamp taxes, license taxes, manufacturing taxes—taxes, taxes, taxes! Our business men have to make a small fortune every year to pay their taxes. What fastens on our great industries this awful, load? Crime, individual and official. We have to pay the board of the villains who are incarcerated in our prisons. We have to take care of the orphans of those who plunged into their graves through beastly indulgence.. We have to sup- ,port the municipal governments,which -•» . - • «i--.j are expensive just in proportion as the criminal proclivities are vast and tremendous. Who supports, the almshouses and police station* and all the machinery of municipal .government? The taxpayers. But in the glorious time of which I sp*ak grievous taxation will all have ceased.

Better factories, grander architecture, finer equipage, larger fortunes, richer opulence—"a morning without clouds." Churehea Not Large Enoogh. In our great cities the churches are not today large enough to hold more than a fourth of the population. The churches that are buHt-—eojnparatively few of them are fully occupied. The j average attendance in the churches of the United States today is not 400. Now, in the glorious time of which I speak, there are going to be vast churches, and they are going to he all thronged with worshipers. Oh, what rousing songs they will sing! Oh, what earnest sermons they will preach! Oh, what fervent prayers they will offer! Now, in our time, what Is called a fashionable church Is a place where a few people, having attended very carefully to their toilet, come and sit down—they dp not want to be crowded, they like a whole seat to themselves— and then, if they have any time left from thinking of their store, and from examining the style of the hat In front of them, they sit and listen to a sermon warranted to hit no man's sins, and listen to music which i« rendered by a choir warranted to slug tunes that nobody knows! And then after an hour and a half of indolent yawning they go home refreshed. Every man feels -better after he has had a sleep! In many of the churches of Christ in our day the music Is simply a mockery. I have not a cultivated ear nor a cultivated voice, yet no man can do my singing for me. I have nothing to say against artistic music. The $2 or $5 I pay to hear one of the great queens of song is a good investment. But when the people assemble in religious convocation, and the hymn is read, and the angels of God _slep from their throne to catch the music on their wings, do not let us drive them away. by our indifference. I have preached in churches where vaBt sums of money were employed to keep up the music, and it was as exquisite as any heard on earth, but I thought at the same time, for all matters practical, I would prefer^ the hearty, outbreaking song of a backwoods Methodist campmeet in*. Praising Cod In Son*. Let one of these starveling fancy apngs sung in church get up before the throne of God,how would it look standing amid the great doxologies of the redeemed! Let the finest operatic air that ever went up from the church of Christ get many hours iHe startr it will be caught and pa^t by the hosanna of the Sabbath school children. I know a chwrch where the choir did all the singing, save one Christian man Who, through perseverance of the saints, went right on, and afterward a committee was appointed to wait on him and ask him if he would not please to stop singing, as it bothered the choir. "Let those refuse to sing Who never knew our God, But children of the heavenly King Should speak their joys abroad." , , - • » "Praise ye the Lord;, let everything with breath praise the Lord." In the glorious time coming in our cities and in the world hoaahna will meet hosanna and hallelujah hallelujah. Tho Machinery of I***. He goes on and gives plates of the machinery by which this work is to be done, and he says he only needs at the start a company in which the shares shall be $20 each, and a hundred or two hundred thousand shall be raised just to make a specimen community, and then, this being formed, the world will see its practicability, and very soon $2,000,000 or ¢3,000,000 can be obtained, and in ten years the whole earth will be emparadised. The plan is not so preposterous as some I have heard of, but I will take no stock in ^that company. I do not believe it will ever be done in that way by any mechanical force or by any machinery that the human mind can put into play. It Is to be done by the gospel of the S^n of God—the omnipotent machinery of love and grace and pardon and salvation. That Is to emparadise the nations.

It shall kindle its suns after all other lights have gone cut It will be a billowing sea after all other oceans have wept themselves away. It will warm itself by the blaze of a consuming world. It will sing while the archangel's trumpet peals and the air is filled with the crash of breaking sepulchers and the rush of the wings of the rising dead. Oh, commend that love to all the cities, and the morning without clouds will come. Like a Hopeteea Taak. I know that sometimes it seems a hopeless task. You toil on in different spheres, sometimes with great discouragement. People have no faith and say: "It does not amount to anything. You might as well quit that." Why, when Moses stretched his hand over the Red sea, it did not seem to mean anything especially. People came out, I suppose, and said, "Aha!" Some of them found out what he wanted to do. He wanted the sea parted. It did not amount to anything, this stretching out of his hand over the sea. But after awhile the wind blew all night from the east, and the waters were gathered into a glittering palisade on either side, and the billows reared as GoeV. pulled back on their crystal bits. Wheel into line, O Israel! March, march! Pearls crashed under feet. Flying spray gathers into rainbow arch of victory for the conquerors to march under. Shout of hosts on the beach answering the shout of hosts amid the sea. And when the last line of the Israelitea reach the beach the cymbals clap, and thenrtrtelds clang, and the waters rush over the pursuers, and the swift fingered winds on the white keys of the foam play the grand march of Israel delivered and the awful dirge of Egyptian overthrow. So you and I go forth, and all the people of God go forth, and they stretch their hand over the sea, the boiling sea of crime and sin and wretchedness. "It doesn't amount to anything," people eay. Doesn't it? God's winds of help will after awhile begin to blow. A path will be cleared for the army of Christian philanthropists. The path will be lined with the treasures of Christian beneficence, ard we will be greeted to the other beach by the clapping of all heaven's-ey-n^ bals, while those who pursued us and derided us and tried to destroy us will go down under the sea, and all that will be left of them will be cast high and dry upon the beach, the splintered wheel of a chariot or thrust out from the jfoam the breathless nostril of a riderless charger. Good-By t o the Train Boy. Good-by to the train boy. On January I, l»01, on two important American railroad systems, the experiment, heretofore tried tentatively, of excluding from their cars all peddling of popcorn, i peanuts, cigars, newspapers, games, caramels, matches and magazines, was Inaugurated and the "train boy" summarily done away with. Against this innovation serious and urgent opposition was expected, for the train boy, with his wares, had conre to be regarded, if not as a cherished, certainly as an unavoidable, incident of American passenger travel by Taiiroad. In the evolution of modern travel to its present point of excellence, the ununlfortned conductor, distinguishable only by his metal oadge, the loud-shouting brakeman. and car coupler disappeared, but the "candy or train b o y with his stock of peanuts and confectionery had lingered on, a burden to the patience of many travelers and an unnecessary survival of archaic railroading.

"Five years ago I was a continual sufferer of Heart Disease. Exposure during the war, and a tendency to grow over fleshy, had greatly aggravated this dread disease. I often had to sit up half the night. I had it so bad when I would lie down. Life looked pretty blue to me, as I thought there was no relief,, until one day I read an advertisement of Dodd's Kidney Pills. I bought a box that same day, and it was the best day's work I ever did. Before I had used all the first box I could eat and sleep better than I had done for many years, and after three months' faithful treatment, my health was completely restored. I am an old man now, but my step is as elastic and my brain as clear as when I was thirty years of age." These are the words of the Hon. Moses B. Crane, secretary of Odin Lodge, No. 123, I. O. 0.

Bees must be.kept quiet in winter, and no roadway for any purpose should run through the apiary. Disturbances of any kind whatever in cold weather are damaging to bees, and in case of exposure to high winds windbreaks should be provided. Windbreaks are of great sen-ice to bees when thus wintered out of doors, and in the absence of timber or evergreens, building, etc., a high board fence should be erected. Hives should face the east or the south. A south or east slope of ground is desirable to locate on and is seldom found to be too sloping, but in the absence of all these advantages the best of success has been obtained other* wise, so it is not a reasonable excuse to neglect the bees or to give up beekeeping. Bees have done well on the roofs of houses, even on high business houses in large cities, and they have done well on the north side of buildings where they do not see the sun from one year's end to another, so in this there is more In the way they are attended than in anything else. Bees should be in their winter quarters before winter is on. They should nave some time to get settled down in good housekeeping shape after being placed in winter quarters and before cold weather; hence It is expensive to wait until winter is on. Never change tbe location of hives wmsfl going Into winter Quarters, in t**-tnne apiary or about the yard or In ties- immediate vicinity. If this is done, when the bees 4*s* thetr"4>s*^Ucht thereafter the* will return to their torassr location.— Call at'the DISPATCH Office gfrt pri>»a and w e are SUM* tn An The Busy Bee Hive —1.

Our electric road just now seems to receive a chill; but one cannot be su re of the road till the cars v e running. The lat*est project is that, a road will run from Ann Arbor via Chelsea, Stock bridge to Lansing, thus cutting off the Portage summer resort and Pinckney. It any electric road com pany realizes that they will be more benfited by shunning the resort and going by tbe way of Chelsea they will do it, but we can hardlv see now it would benefit them.

TAnd tiien Harold amazed*them by tfce Question: tf4!* there a school at EasthiU-On- Sea? I never heard of one." Easthill-on-Sea was about two miles from Eastbill proper, in the opposite direction from Dynevor Manor and the |—or Beryl thought so. She reached Uplands. Wttfhin the last few years some • speculators had got possession of land there, and -were trying hard to convert what had been a fishing hamlet into a watering-place. They had not succeeded well', and the present result was a kind of straggling, unfinished settlement, which was neither town nor village. The old inhabitants of Basthi 11 rather made game of the new watering-place, which will account for Kitty's laugh. ' ~\ "I really don't know, Harold; I hardly ever go to Easthill-on-Sea. There may be half a. dozen schools; but I hope not, for their proprietors' 8akes, for I can't Imagine that any one would send children there." "I think you're hard on the place," said Harold. "There's -a very good beach and a splendid' air. I suppose people are to be found who can do without niggers at the seaside." "Ah, but titey'd want decent roads and tolerable comfort;" objected Kitty; "and you know when it rains Easthillon- Sea is almost a swam., because no one has made up the roads. Then they only bake every other day, and the butcher's shop 'opens twice a week. It would taken good deal to make up for such drawbacks:" "It is all so unfinished," said Mrs. Dynevor. "The roads are staked out, and imposing names painted on signboards, like 'Elm avenue," and 'Sea View gardens;* but neither avenue nor gardens boast a single house, and the roads are not even divided from each other, except by a few posts." "Why are you so suddenly interested in Easthill-on-Sea?" demanded Kitty. "You can't possibly have been asked to recommendany one a school there?" "Oh, dear, no; but I came home from Marton by train, and a girl got out at our elation-who~wanted to go to Earthm-on-Sea. She asked the porter the way to Mrs. Tanner's school. He questioned the ticket collector, and even the station master himself, but neitner of them had ever heard of it I couldn't help feeling sorry for her, she looked so'tired and sad. It must be hard Tines to come off a long Journey j ings raud not yet been fenced off. and not Had any one who can direct you to your destination." ~Poor thingT' said Kitty, and then the subject dropped, tyone-of the three guessed the influence the lonely little traveler was to have on their lives. It never dawned on Kity that the unknown girl who was bound for a school no one had ever heard of was to be her 'dearest friend. CHAPTER V. Nothing will describe the desolation which 'filled 'Beryl Linden's heart wb/ep !#he stepped on to the platform at Basthlll. 'She "had left Loudon filled with the one desire of escaping from her father and stepmother. Ever since ehe heard of the former's marriage her one end and object had been to get safely away from Elchester square. It was only when she had actually startled, when Mrs. Markham's kindly face was lost t o sight, that she realized she was going among strangers, that a new, untried life lay before her. with •not one friendly voice to brighten it. It was a long, tedious journey, and Involved two changes. Easthill was on a branch line, at which only the slowest ol trains condescended to stop. She was very plainly dressed in Mack; but all her things had come , from a West End shop, and *here was an air of distinction about her not often seen in a lonely little ttiird-class traveler. She 'was eighteen, though she looked older—a very .small, fairy-like crea- ,tnre, with soft, wavy brown hair, and big, lustrous blue-grey *eyes. Her complexion was very fair, and had the daintiest carmine tint. She knew absolutely nothing of the country. Brighten. Brussels, where she had (been at school, ^nd the tall house In Eldiest^ square had made up her world. To find herself at a little rustic station, with only a few cottages lnNiigM, was almost rvlarmtng. And no one at the station had heard of Mrs. Tanner's school. That of Itself was enough to d\sco«rage her. ^onT~you~~be aTraflT mTssTe," the station master said kindly. **If you wrote to the lady, and she had your letter, she must live here somewhere, and the postofflce are the best people to help you find. her. You go straight along this lane till you come to a sign post take the scad marked 'Easthillon- Sea,' and presently you'll see four or five shops. The postofllce is the first of the lot, and they'll put* you right" mercy and started. The lane seemed interminable. Perhaps in summer time it was pretty; but it was a late season, and the trees were hardly in bud. Tfceir^ bare branches almost met in the middle of the lane, looking very like black, threatening hands uplifted against her the sign post without meeting a single creature; but, another half-mile brought her to the shops, and her heart gave a thrill of relief as she recognized the postoffifcg. It was quito unlike any postofflce Beryl had ever seen, being a cottage with all business transacted in the front parlor; while the room on the opposite side appeared to be a baker's, one stale loaf and half a dozen stodgylooking buns being arranged in the window. "Can you tell me the way to Mrs. Tanner's school—Woodlands, the house is called?" asked Beryl anxiously. The young woman behind the counter was better informed than the railway people, for she answered without any hesitation: "It's the last house on the front The name's not up; but you can't be mistaken because there are no more houses." This was conclusive; but Beryl felt positively sinking from weakness and fatigue. She looked at the loaf of bread and buns, and finally asked the damsel in charge if she could have some refreshment—"a cup of tea or something." "The fire's out, I expect. You can have a glass of milk and a plate of bread and butter, if you like." The fare was plain, but it revived the traveler. The attendant gave her plenty of local information while she ate and drank. Mrs. Tanner had not been at Easthill-on-Sea long. There wasn't much opening for a school; there were very few residents, and naturally vistors didn't want to send their children to school when they came down in the summer.. "You do look tired!" she concluded. "But jt's_not mimh-fur-ther now.- The end of this street leads to the front, and Mrs. Tanner's is the last house on the right" Beryl found the house easily; but her heart sank as she looked at it. It was so new that at the back the piece **r of waste ground called a garden was not yet fenced off, and the front rail- Woodlands looked as though it had been built elsewhere, brought t<5 East' hill on a trolley, and just popped down on the first vacant space. The wind howled round it the waves which dashed over the shingle seemed to Jaugh derisively at'it. and even to poor B e r y l t h e hn^P h o a r d o v o r t h a f r o n t test of centuries, and this bleak, desolate place seemed terrible to me; but, Miss Lindon, work b» the best cure for sadness, and even Basthill-on-Sea seems brighter when one is busy." "Please forgive me!" said Beryl, pleadingly. "Indeed, I am not di^coatented; it was only that you were so ~j kind to me." "Did you expect me tope an ogress?" asked Mrs. Tanner. "When you have had some tea and feel rested I will tell you all about things. I am afraid you will find plenty of rough places at Woodlands, but they won't be of my making." • Tea was delightful. With curtaius drawn and the lamps lighted, the room seemed quite a snuggery; and Mrs. Tanner saw that Beryl had plenty of the fare provided. "I would rather tell you everything before you see my sister," she said, when Rhoda had taken away the things. My husband died last November. He was the best and kindest man who ever lived, but he wasn't businesslike, and when all the expenses were paid I had only £20 and the furniture to keep myself and the children. Of course I knew I should have to work; hut I had never had to earn my living, and I did not know how to set about i t My sister is the only near relation I have. She is very rich, and she likes to manage. She decided I had better keep a school, then the twins could be educated for nothing. Her husband has a good deal of property round here, and they offered me this house rent free for three years. "Of course"—she flushed painfully— "the Wilmots are in a very good position here, and it would not do for it to be known any one connected with them had to keep a school, so I promised Mary I would never mention the relationship. She has really been very good. She speaks of me to people as 'a young widow in whom she, is interested/ and altogether .1 have twelve pupils. If the new ones promised this term come tomorrow I shall have fifteen. They pay £2 a tefm, so that I have £90 a year; but I found out if I had any one who could teach French and really good music I should get more scholars and keep them till they were older. That is why I thought of getting help. Besides, with only Rhoda, there is a great deal to do domestically, and the twins' clothes: have to be made and mended." "How old ^.re the twins?" asked Beryl.

Mrs. Tanner did not s?em in the least angry. She took BeryJ's hand and held it for a minute or two, then she said gently: "I don't wonder at your being upset, my dear. When I first csraae here in January I loathed the place quite as much as you can do. I came from a pretty country rectory, with a dear Beryl left her luggage to the porter's j old garden and trees that*had .stood the windowE—."Ladles' SchooT*—seemed grotesque in Such a place. She rang the bell. It was so stiff heT fingers could hardly move it, and when at last It rang it made such a noise she decided Mrs. Tanner would thiiikJorer new teacher very rmpatient- Therewas not the least sound of movement in the house, and Beryl was actually contemplating a second ring when the door was flung suddenly open, and a very small servant in a very brg white apron ^tood regarding her curiously. "Is Mrs. Tan-mr at home? I think She is expecting me. I am the new governess." ""You're to cotrre this way," eaid the child—she really was very little more. And Berfil followed her across a goodsized haE to a small sitting-room at the back, the door of which her guide opened encouragingly. *Tou gfo straight in;" she. commanded. It was a r e r y small1 room, and rafher sparsely furnished; but what Beryl saw first was a tall, flight woman in widow's weeds, who «ame forward to meet her wfcth such * frightened face that the girl felt compelled to take the initf.tlve. "I am afraid I am later than you expected, Mrs. Tanner: 'hut it is a long walk from tb^ station, and I came slowly so as not to lose my-^vjaj." "You look cold and tired." said Mrs. Tanner gently. "Sit down and warm yourself. Rhoda will bring tea soon-; I waited for you." "it was very kind of ycni." Beryl began, and then she broke down helplessly and cried a* though her heart would break. Of course it was behav- i .bulirUny operations swt thro* cmiii m^dlsgracefuTTy. I t was most unschol- f daughter.; the tax collector oomrib than in a grander situation." "I am sure of it," said Beryl. "Mrs. Tanner, I don't think any one in the whole world can be lonelier than I am, and if only you will keep me, I shall be glad to stay." Mrs. Tanmr gave a little sigh. "Mary—MTS. Wilmot—will be round -hr-the morning. You must not mind if she seems, a little overbearing. Oh, and there ts the thing she wanted me to say—she does not like your name at all." Beryl professed her regret, but hardly saw the objection was her fault "It's" Tn this way," explained Mrs. Tanner. "The show place near here, Dynevor Manor, belongs to a Mr. Lindon, though General Craven lives there. Mary thinks it a slight to Mr. Lindon that my teacher should have the same name. Her husband is his agent, and goes to see him sometimes j at his grand house in Elchester square, Belgravia. Of course I told Mary Mr. Lindon would never hear of my school, j much less my teacher's name; but she was very disagreeable, and said it could not-matter to you, and that by changing one letter the nam* sounded quite differently. Do you mind bern" Miss Lendon? You see, it won't make any difference to your letters, because most people loop their i's now, so that they look lik> e's." Beryl felt inclined to bless Mrs. Wilmot. If, as She now felt positive, her father were thv owner of Dynevor Man-, or. why. then, her one desire jfas that he might never hear his fugitive daughter was Irving beneath its shadow. She had never heard htm speak ' of Sussex, or oi possessing property in the country. Surely it was strange that with all England before heT. she should have drifted to the one place whene he hud interest. School began the next day. The fifteen girls were nice things.

The day was when men of promi nence hesitated to give their testimonials to proprietary medicines for publication. This remains true today of most proprietary medicines. But Peruna has become so justly famous, its merits are known to so many people of high and low stations, that no one hesitates to see his name in print recommending Peruna. The highest men in our nation have given Peruna a strong endorsement Men representing all' classes and stations are equally represented. A dignified representative of the Presbyterian church in the person of Rev. B. G. Smith does not hesitate to state publicly that he has used Peruna in his family and found it cured when other remedies failed. In this statement the Rev. Smith is supported by an elder in his church. Rev. E. G. Smith, pastor of the Presbyterian church of Greensboro, Ga., writes: "Having used Peruna in my family lor some time it gives me pleasure totestify to its true worth. My little boy seven years of age had been suffering for some time with catarrh of the lower bowels. Other remedies had failed, but Under Arrest in Cuba. after taking two bottles of Peruna the trouble almost entirely disappeared. For this special malady I consider it well nigh a specific. As a tonic for weak and Worn out people it has few or no equals."—Rev. B. G. Smith. Mr. M. J. Rossman,a prominent merchant of Greensboro, Ga., and an elder in the Presbyterian church of that place, has used Peruna.and in a recent letter to The Peruna Medicine Co., of Columbus, Ohio, writes as follows: "For a long time I was troubled with catarrh of the kidneys and tried many remedies, all of which gave me no relief. Peruna was recommended to me by several friends, and after using a few bottles I am pleased to say that the long looked for relief was found and I am now enjoying better health. than I have for years, and can heartily recommend Peruna to all similarly afflicted. It is certainly a grand medicine."— M. J. Rossman. If you do not derive prompt and satisfactory results from the use of Peruna, write at fence to Dr. Hartman, {-giving a full statement of your case and he will be pleased to give yon hia valuable advice gratis.

THURSDAY, JAN. 17, 19QJ Experiments with aluminum as a substitute for paper are now under way in France. It is well known that the paper used today in the manufacture of books is not durable. It is now possible to roll the aluminum into sheets four thousandths of an iuch in thickness, in which form it weighs less than paper. By the adoption of suitable machinery these sheets can be made even thinner and ca.n be used for book or writing paper. The metal will not oxidize, is practially fire and water proof and is indistructible by the jaws of worms.—Shoe aud Leather facts.

Last week Thomas Birkett shipped to J. D. Campbe.ll of Jackson, the second of a pair of deer from the Birkett deer park. Some, time since Mr. Birkett al-~ BO Bold a pair to Wm. A. Boland the electric road man, and this week received a letter from him stating that he wants the order increased to six. This leaves twenty in the park. Under the present laws deer can only be shipped during the open season anil Mr. Birkett had to get a special permit to ship this one. State Game VVarden Morse informs him that if he meet with the state sportsmen's club at Laning, Jan. 23-24, there will no doubt be some important chau^es made iu the law which would enable domesticated deer to be shipped at any season of the year. — Dexter Leader. *.-u*'otjev&jor t h e n t a k e s .

During the tirst half of the eighteenth century one of the members for a southern constituency was expelled from the house of commons for forgery and Indeed endured the purgatory of standing in the pillory for a day. He was a man of unctuous piety, and his career in many respects resembled that of Jabez Balfour in later days. After his death the following prayer was found in his own handwriting among his papers: "O Lord, thou knowest that 1 have nine houses in the city of London and "ttratrttrave" lately purchased an estate in fee simple in the county of Essex. 1 beseech thee to preserve the two counties of Middlesex and Essex from fire and earthquake, and as I have a mortgage in Herefordshire, I beg of thee to have an eye of compassion also on that county, and for the rest of the counties thou mayest deal with them as thou art pleased. Give a prosperous voyage to the Mermaid, because I have not insured her, and enable the bank to meet their bills."—St. James Gazette. f Tne Boy Aboard Ship. Mr. Frank T. Bullen, who was once a ship boy himself, makes in his book, '•The Men of the Merchants' Service." these mournful statements concerning the sea life of young Jacky: "Within the memory of middle aged men a boy on board a ship was the butt, the vicarious sacrifice to all the accumulated ill temper of the ship. Toiay tales are told of the treatment of boys in 'Geordle' colliers that are enough to make the flesh creep to hear. Ln those days i t was the privilege of every man on board to ill treat the boy, and if, as very often happened, the poor little wretch died under It—well, what of it?—it was only a boy. "And the peculiar parf of it all was that the brutes * who did these evil deeds prided themselves that their actions were right and proper. There was only one way of training a boy— with a rope'8 end if it were handy; if not, a fist or a boot would do, but he must be beaten. "One man whom I shall always remember, as smart a seaman as ever trod a ship's deck, beat me until there was not a square inch of my small body unbruised. Scarcely a watch passed that I did not receive some token of his interest in my welfare, and on two occasions he kicked me with such violence that with all the will in he world to obey his orders I was perfectly helpless. My only wonder Is that he did not kill me. "Yet when I left the ship he bade me quite an affectionate farewell, bidding me remember how hard he had labored for my benefit, that every blow he had given me was solely aimed at making me more useful and fitting me for my ! duties."

The coal expended on a single cruise would pay for the refitting of his whole battle line, while the immense uhells required to make any impression on the modern armor plate cost more than his whole armament. But the modern line of battle ship could neither be built, armed nor fought without the use of steam, and its evolution may be said to have commenced with the first application of the steam engine to navigation. —London Standard. are covered by tie ume guarantee.

You see, it is badly skinned. Also there is a black mark on his left cuff. Now let us see what we must make of this. When a left handed man pokes up the furnace tire, how does he do it* By putting his left hand forward, of course. Thus it happened that it was his left hand which scraped against the furnace door. The blackened cuff shows that it was a furnace door. Having this foundation to work upon, the rest is easy. If he lived in a flat, he would have no furnace to look after, and if his wife w^re not afraid ot the hired girl they would make' the latter do the poking up. It is all very simple if one's perceptive faculties are properly trained. l i e can't really afford to live in a house, because if he could he would have a man to look after the furnace. Therefore he ought to live in a fiat." "But hold on. How do you know the man is married? He can't be over .".( at the m«st. Why may it not be possible that he lives at home with his widowed mother?" "My dear sir," said Sherlock Holmes'. Jr., "I am surprised at your lack of perspicacity.

Once when Mrs. Kendal wns taking the role of Galatea in Dublin she had an amusing experience. Pygmalion, it will be remembered, had a jealous wife. During the temporary absence of that lady Galatea was about to throw herself into the arms of Pygmalion when an old dnme in the audience cried warningly: "Don't do it, darlint! His wife's just gone out, and shure it'll be like her to be listenin at the key bole." S w i n d l e b y P a w n T i c k e t s . The most lucrative game which New York swindlers work on the credulous and eager New Yorkers themselves continues to be the bogus or false pawn ticket swindle. It is not unknown in Chicago, and it has so many fine points about it, all of them appealing to the man who loves to make a few dollars on the side, that the rogues who work it are never out of customers. The simplest method is for the swindler to tell his intended victim he has in pawn a ring or gem worth $100. He claims to have pawned it for only $2.">. and rather than lose the difference between the real value and the amount for which he pawned it he will give the customer a rare bargain. There is $25 due the pawnbroker, besides $5 interest, leaving an equity of $70. He will sell that equity for just half, or 835. After the victim has paid over the $35 and has redeemed-the pledge he rinds that the real value of the article is $50 to $00 and that he is out $5 to $15. The pawnbroker gets all he loaned, and the original owner makes all the victim overpaid.—Chicago Tribune. * PUBLISHED a V B R T THOB8DAY HORNIWQ BY FRANK L. ANDREWS Editor and Proprietor.

Justice as obtained, in the Chinese courts is a farce. A case occurred while the writer was in China In which a Chinese judge, sitting with an English magistrate, declared that he was obliged to give judgment against the -evidence or he should lose his appoint" ment! The criminal law of China provides that an offender can only be punished if he confesses his guilt, and if he is tardy in conforming to this condition he is compelled to confession by a series of tortures of the most painful and awful character. Superstition is rife from end to end of the land and leads to crueltyjand brutality of the worst description. The system of "squeeze" and extortion which exists throughout the east is found in so aggravated a form in China that it stifles enterprise and prevents expansion of trade and leaves the masses of the people barely with the necessaries of life. while their superiors in position become wealthy by corrupt accumulation. This system of "squeeze," of course, applies to the question of railway construction. One of the most intelligent Chinamen the writer met in Shanghai offered him a concession for a railway from Pekin to Chingkiang, the foremost condition being that the sum of £120,000 in cash should be paid to a leading government official at the cutting of the first sod. As a further illustration it may be pointed out that out of the 13 railway concessions already supposed to be granted (extending about 3,600 miles) not one has as yet been commenced. Capital punishment prevails to an extent few people have any idea of in this country. An important ^Russian official the writer met on his>¥ay from Pekin stated that one of his countrymen had been murdered in Manchuria by a Chinaman. They wished to punish him in such a way and at such a place as would convey the strongest warning to others, but they found that it would be useless to execute him in his native town, as no less than 2,000 persons had ended their lives in this way in the previous 12 months!—Emerson Eainbridge, M.

Her nerves were excited all day, and when night came she just couldn't find the courage. It is the old story of weakness and nervousness taking the pleasure out of life and filling it with discontent and suffering. It is not honest fatigue resulting from the daily task; it is weariness born of weakness and ill health. The ideal strengthener for weajr. women is Dr. Greene's Nervura blood and -nerve remedy. It builds them up in every way by toning up the blood and strengthening the nerves. Nothing else in tho world can do Nervura's work. It seeks out the weak spots and strengthens them. It enriches the blood and gives it a healthy circulation, thus putting new life into the entire body. Strength to overcome the general discouragement is followed by the ambition to be well. A few nights of sound, refreshing sleep brings a new sensation of acquired strength. ^ How ready now is this woman for every duty and every plan for pleasure t Tho Dr. Greene's NERVURA FOR THE BLOOD AND NERVES. new color in her cheeks shows the potent work of the vegetable elements in Nervura. This w o m a n is now a cured woman, and such transformations are occurring in every community through the use of Dr.Greene's Nervura. If you are run-down and discouraged, here is the certain help. MRS. OLIVER WILSON, of Northboro, Mass., says: " I was suffering from nervousness, caused by female weakness and nervous prostration, I was so nervous and weak I could not go up a common pair of stairs without stopping to rest, and troubled to sleep at night. I took Dr. Greene's Nervura and have obtained ray old elastic step around the houso. After creeping around for two years, hardly able to do anything, it has proved a boon to me truly. READ DR.

Both o t the asphalt concerns are United States corporations, one of them being the National Asphalt company, commonly known as the asphalt trust. It is even charged t h a t the trust has had a hand in encouraging the rebellion in Venezuela which JU now in progress. The leader of the rebellion is Celestino Peraza, who until recently was the secretary of the present president of the republic, General Castro. ...General Castro himself came into power as the result of a successful rebellion which resulted in the overt h r o w of the government headed by President And rade. Since Castro took control of the government in the latter part of 1899 he has successfully suppressed at least two rebellions, so that h e knows what he has to deal with. Leader of the Urouble. Celestino Peraze. the leader of the present rebellion, began his outbreak , in the country along the Orinoco river I in the last days of December, 1900, A \ force of 2,500 men was immediately sent against him by President. Castro. and several small o ng a g eraeins have taken p l a c e between the rival fort Co. Now it appears t h e rebels are running low o\\ powder a n d munit i o n s of war in general.

Venezuela may be gathered from t h e statement that the Central American country, which h a s an area five times as large as that of the state of Michigan, has a total population of only 2,320,000, somewhat less than t h a t of Michigan, of which number nearly onefourth are uncivilized Indians. The regular army of Venezuela consists of 3.G00 men, with a militia which in time of civil war has put as many as 60,000 men into the field. So far as a navy is concerned, Venezuela has only three small steamers and two sailing vessels, with three or four small river gunboats. Furthermore, it has been only four years since the United-States intervened on behalf of Venezuela in its dispute over the question of boundary with Great Britain-" an a secured the appointment of an arbitration commission, by the decision of which several hundred square miles of valuable territory, including some rich gold mines and the country to the south of the me- U of the Orinoco river, were saved to the smaller state. Z5he 'Bone of Contention. The asphalt lake, for the possession of which the rival American companies are lighting, lies between a range of mountains and the shore of one of the outlets of the northern delta of the Orinoco river, near the bay of Paria. The lake is a mile and a half in length by a mile in width and comprises more than 1,000 acres of swampy land. Most of the surface of the so-called lake is covered with a rank growth of grasses and shrubs rising to a height of eight or ten feet and interspersed with tall palm trees. The pitch or asphaltum doe; noc lie in an unbroken surface, as on thf Trinidad la1.-:es. but bubbles up, as if from spring.-. The pitch, how- •OV-A;-, underlies mo.-t of the surface included in the lake and has a depth varying from two to ten feet. In the center of the lake is a patch of about seven acres which, is free from vegeta: tion and in which the pitch is so soft that it cannot be walked on. The whole in a Prosperous Condition According to Auditor Dix. BALANCE WAS $2,501,557.53 property belonging to the New York and Bermudez Asphalt company at the Bermudez pitch lake, while the regular government, under President Castro, has seized a couple of steamers belonging t o a steamboat company owned in the United States. In order to protect the property of citizens of t h i s country from being confiscated in this way t h e United States warship Scorpion has been ordered to leave the harbor of L a Guayra and run up the 'Orinoco river, and it is reported that t h e government at Washington stands ready to send the north Atlantic squadron with a force of marines-do^n f r o m Pensacola, Fla.. to Venezuela if tthe situation does not improve. Venezuela's Chief Seaport, La Guayra is the chief seaport of Venezuela and the gateway to Caracas, t h e capital of the republic. At La 'Guayra the mountains overhang the water, rising to a height of 8,000 feet. They are visible at sea seventy miles away. Caracas is distant only ten mile's, but it is reached by one of the most tortuous pieces of railroad building in the world. The journey by rail from t h e seaport to the capital covers a distance of seventy miles. . The clim a t e of Caracas is mild and pleasant, which explains why large cities of tropical America are usually situated some distance from the coast. Caracas Ms 3,000 feet above the-sea level, and t h e temperature averages 71 degrees above zero all the year round. LooKf Lt'Kje Absurd Prospect. Some idea of the absurdity of a seri- • ous war between the United States and ing the spring Hoods, it is entirely cov ered by water. The*pitch is dug out of the lake by native labor and carted to a convenient place near a seaport, where it is refined. The raw asphalt is put into huge kettles and slowly heated from above until the whole mass is brought t o a liquid condition. The process of heating drives off the wateT and gas with which the raw A VENEZUELAN MAN-OF-WAR. pitch is filled, while the heavy impurities sink to the bottom of the kettle. The pure asphaltum can then be poured off. Mr. and Mrs. T. B. Fitzgerald of Danville, Va., have deeded their place on the north bank of the Dan river, worth $20,000,to the Danville Orphanage as a permanent home. The late Chief Justice Faircloth of North Carolina bequeathed $20,000 to the Baptist Female University of Raleigh.

Members of both house and senate profess to see in t h i s little section a loophole " for the railroads to escape t a x a t i o n under t h e Atwood bill, if it should be enacted into law.. They say the railroads would, when the " s t a t e board of assessors" a t t e m p t e d to tax them under t h e proposed new law, say t h a t — this could n o t be done as they were already being assessed u n d e r other s t a t e laws.

A HUNDRED POUNDS REWARD— Left her home on April 30, a young lady, aged 18, brown hair, grey-blue eyes, fair complexion, a very diminutive figure. When last seen was wearing a black tailor-made costume and a small lace toque trimmed with violets. The above reward will be jiald to any one giving such information as mp.y lead to her recovery. Apply to A, B. C , Porter's library, Wilton Place." Two people at Easthill read that notice and knew whom it concerned- Beryl Lindon, who rejoiced with all her heart that the gathering coldness of the April evening had made her put on her cloak before she left Easthill Station; and Harold Dynevor, who felt convinced that the young lady inquired for was no other than the lonely little traveler who had asked the way to Mrs. Tanner's school. No doubt other people in the neighborhood read the advertisement, but none of them guessed it was in their power to earn the reward. Mrs. Wilmot had never seen her s"isteFs'TeacBer in walking attire, Mrs. Tanner never looked at the ageny column. Helen Craven, who was of a romantic turn of mind, read the paragraph aloud to her family, and declared the poor girl it concerned had evidently escaped from a lunatic asylum; but Captain Tempest was at the Manor and engrossed most of her attention, so that she soon forgot the matter. Beryl felt, terribly nervous. She had expected her father to be rather relieved at her departure, and the advertisement seemed to imply he was set on finding her. She longed to confide in Mrs. Tanner; but, though she could have trusted the widow perfectly, the possession of such a secret would, if discovered, have embroiled her' very much with her sister. So beyond a visit to the one draper's at Easthill-on- Sea, where she purchased a bunch of forget-me-nots to replace the violets in her toque, the advertisement made no immediate difference to Beryl. As for Harold, he thought of it again and again. He could not get the girl's sweet, sad face out of his head. And after a few days' doubt and perplexity, during which the announcement was repeated in the paper every morning, he decided to call on Mrs. Grey, the wife of the curate-in-clmrge of the Easthill-on-Sea, and ask. her openly for Mrs. Tanner's address. He was prepared to face her wonder a t the question, but it was spared him. The first greetings were barely over when little Olive Grey came in through t h e French window, with two or three school books strapped together, and a very important little face, "You don't mean to say you send that mite to schol?" Harold asked, when Miss Olive had installed herself on his knee. "Why, she can't be six!" "Turned eight, Mr. Dynevor. should have sent her before, only there was no school here. A yoiing~widow, Mrs. Tanner, opened one in January, and Olive was one of her first pupils." "I shouldn't have thought there were enough children for a school to pay." "I think Mrs. Tanner must be getting on, for she has Just started an assistant. Such a pretty girl! I saw her at church on Sunday and lost my heart to her. Lendon her name is— Isn't it, Olive?" "Yes; only one letter different from Mr. L i n d o n V said Miss Olive; "and she comes from London, toe." The child ran off to her tea, and Mrs. Grey, who did not possess as much tact as kindness, suddenly asked: "Is it true that the Lindons are coming to live at the Manor when General Craven leaves?" "I have no idea., I know it is rumored." "Mr. Grey thinks the rumor only got about because Mr. Lindon refused t o renew the general's lease." "General Craven thinks he will re« new it in the end, but is standing out for increased rent. The agent, Wilmot, has hinted as much." "Then it is probably true. Mr. Wilmot is very much in the big man's confidence. I do hope the Lindons won't come here." Harold shrugged his shoulders. But he was unusually grave and thoughtful that evening. Before he went to bed he had written a very brief note to Beryl, enclosing the advertisement from the Telegraph. "One who witnessed Miss I^endon's arrival at Easthill-on-Sea sends this to warn her Bhe is being sought for. She may rely on his absollute silence now and always." There was no signature. Beryl could not In the loa»t imagine who sent the note, but she felt it was meant to be reassuring. And as May faded Into Jains she tried hard to forget the dark shadow* which hung threateningly or«r her pathway, a?d to be as nappy as sbs could It was a quiet and. monotonous life she led at Woodlands. After the luxury at Elchcster square, the hard work, and\ plain fare would have been distasteful to many girls; but Beryl was only too thankful to have escaped from her gilded cage. Mrs. Tanner was kindness itself,and i t the Wilmots rather grated on Beryl with the condescending patronage, she knew perfectly it was net h«p employer's fault, and resented their cold reproofs to the gentle widow far m c r ^ t h a n any slights to herself. And then a wonderful thing happened. Mrs. Grey, who was the nearest approach to a friend the widowed school mistress had at Easthill, descended on Woodlands one day, and begged Mrs. Tanner to lend her young assistant to help at a kind of open air fete she was getting up for the church building fund. The curate's wife never forgot that the widow was unfortunate, that her husband's death had brought her from a pleasant, easeful rectory to fight for her~hread7~ MrsTUfey had helpsd "the enterprise at Woodlands in many ways, not least by her kindness and friendly sympathy with Woodland's tenant. She told her difficulties as frankly as if Mrs. Tanner had been her sister. "You knew we are not rich, but just because Frank is the curate I have to take a stall and do my utmost to make things go. I'm not clever at bazaars, and I had depended on my sister coming to help me. I've just had a letter to say she has sprained her a n k l e - nothing serious; but she won't be able to put her foot to the grcund for a fortnight, and the fete is next week. Do lend me Miss Lendon! It's a Wednesday, and-so, being a half holiday, the school can't suffer. Besides. I'm pretty sure all your pupils will be there. I don't ask you to come"— she looked kindly at the craps-trimmed dress, "it would be hard on you to appear at a gay scene so soon, but you might lend me your assistant.'' "I will spare Miss Lendon to you with pleasure." said Mrs. Tanner; "but are you sure she will be of any use? She is a dear little thing, but almost painfully shy. She has been with me over two months, and I know no more of her than I did the day "she came." "Well, may I ask her and see what she says?" Mrs. Tanner fetched Beryl arid explained what was required of her. The girl blushed crimson. "I. never was at a bazaar in my life," she told Mrs. Grey, "but if you think I can be of any use I shall be glad to do my best." [ Mrs. Grey was^lelighted and Beryl left the room, pledged to be her chief lieutenant on the eventful Wednesday. "You know," said the curate's wife, when Beryl had gone, "she is so pretty she is sure to charm money out of peo- 4-Lple's pockets, and there was really no one else I could ask. Mrs. Craven has taken a stall, and her daughter and Miss Dynevor will help at it. There wasn't a girl in Easthill I could think of who would have been of any use." Mrs. Tanner hesitated. "Ought it to be a very grand toilet? I am not sure what Miss Lendon has in the way of finery." "Every one is to dress just as they please. The sellers are to wear a favor of black and gold to distinguish them. I'll send over the one 1 made for Cicely." Mrs. Tanner and Beryl talked over the bazaar after supper that night. "It will be a little glimpse of gaiety for you." said the elder woman kindly. "This is a very dull life for you. Miss Lendon." "I am net at all dull," said Beryl, simply. She had altered since she came to Easthill. The scared, anxious look had gone from her face, and. in spite of. hard work, she looked younger and brighter. She really quite looked forward to the garden t>te. as its promoters called it, as a festival; for. after all, s-he was yovng enough to enjoy the sight of proty things and bright fao'*v . -^- CHAPTRR VII. Mrs. Tanner almost ntartofl when Beryl came to show herself when she was droned for the fete, and yet the girl only wore the white cashmere which had been her best nttlro last summer. It was very soft and clinging, falling from waist to hem in long, straight folds, the bodiee trimmed with a little white silk, and a broad sash of the softest 'smv.h knotted loosely round her water.. Her hat was white, too. and trimmed with a long whito feather and a quantity of chiffon. She looked far more like-some ricn wandering princess than a humble school assistant, "Shall I do?" asked Beryl, a little anxiously. "You had better nut a cloak ever your dress for the drive, the lanes are so dusty," said Mrs. Tanner. ''You look charming, and I am sure Mrs. Grey will thin* so." That lady drove up then in her rather shabby pony carriage. The fete was to be held in the grounds of Dynevorse are the last people to think three miles from Woodlands, so she had arranged to call for Miss Lendon. "I'll bring her back safely," she promised Mrs. Tanner, "but I can't promise when. The fete opens at 3, and we are supposed to go on till we've sold everything." She talked very pleasantly to Beryl as they drove along, saying she would introduce her to Miss Dynevor, who was about her own age. "Please don't," said Beryl shyly—"I mean, she might not like it. Miss Dynevor of Dynevor must be a great lady, and I am only a teacher." "My dear," said Mrs. Grey, "the Dynevors are the last people to think less of you for that. And so far from being great, they have fallen on very evil times. Harold farms his own land; but it's all he can do to struggle on these bad times, and if Kitty does not have to earn money, she works very hard at home." "But the Manor is called after them." "And it ought to be theirs, only it isn't." She went on to give Beryl -the full and particular story of-Nina Dynevor's infatuation for Eustacs Lindon, and the wrong it had led to. Beryl only kept silent by an effort. It was terrible to listen to the reproach of her own parents and say nothing; but deep down in her own heart the girl felt her gentle mother had never done the wrong ascribed to her. No, the will which left the Manor away from the Dynevors had been extorted from her weakness, not made of her own free will. "I hope I have not tired you out," concluded Mrs. Grey, "you are looking very pale." "I am generally pale, thanks." The general stood on the steps of the Manor to welcome them. He looked a little astonished as Mrs. Grey introduced her companion—the girl was so unlike what he had expected; but he soon led the wayito the huge marquee which had been erected in the grounds for the five stalls held by the elite of Easthill. A smaller tent was devoted to flowers, yet another held refreshments, a ladies' orchestra—from Brighton, be it whispered—discoursed sweet music in a third. Mrs. Grey and Beryl hastened to their places, while the general went back to await the advent of tlie great lady who was to-fownally dL. clare the fete open. It looked to Beryl like fairyland; and when a few minutes later things were in full swing, and the people began to flock in. she proved herself quite an expert saleswoman. Many of the visitors thought Mrs. Grey's assistant the prettiest girl present. "Harold," whispered Kitty Dynevor to her brother, when he made his appearance, "your fair traveler is here." "What do you mean?" He asked, bewildered. "Don't you remember asking if there were a school at Easthill-on-Sea, because a. girl was making her way to it at the station one day? Well, the girl is just here at Mrs. Grey's stall; but she doesn't look like a school teacher, does she?" She did not. It flashed on Harold that he had never seen a sweeter face. He thought the shadow on the grey eyes was lighter, and he wondered if she tiad ceased to worry over the hundred pounds reward offered for her recowry. She did not look in the least like a fugitive or a runaway. Mrs. Grey's voice broke on his meditations. "Mr. Dynevor, do take Miss Lendon to the house to have some tea. Mrs. Craren has some in the dining room specially for our benefit; the tent is only tor outsiders, you know, who pay as they go. I have been there long ago; but I couldn't Jlnd any one to send with Miss Lendon. and. as she has never been inside the Manor, she does not like to go alone." "! shall be only too pleased." said Harold; and the two left the marquee together. It was not far. only a few hundred yards as distance went; but. it'seemed miles to Beryl because all the way she was trying to decide a question. One glance had lold her that Mr, Dynevor had been at EnsthtH station when she arrived, therefore it must be he who sent her the advertisement ;v.ui words of kindly warning. Should she allicle to it or not? It was only when she wa? i:i sigh; of the old Manor luuiso that she made up her niind. "* (To be continued.) TfrTarns —ce s ri.£3ndersorv MISS FRANCES M. ANDERSON, daughter of HON. JUDGE ANDERSON, of Virginia, is at present in Washington, D. a, as Corresponding Secretary of the Higher Educational League, of that city. Cured of la grippe by Peruna. m • ISS FRANCES M; ANDERSON, I I n Corresponding Secretary of the f i l l H i 8 h e r Educational League, I • I writes Atom the" Astoria," Wash- • • • ington, D. C, the following: "About two months ago I was taken very 111 with la grippe and was obliged to go to bed. I took three bottles of Peruna with very beneficial results, and was able to leave my bed In a week and regained my usual strength very soon. "I have nothing but praise for Pent' na, and recommend It to those similarly afflicted whSnever I can.**— Frances M. Anderson. La grippe is, strictly speaking, epidemic catarrh—that is to say, a variety of acute catarrh which is so contagious and runs a course more or leas definite, the same as scarlet fever, whooping cough, etc. During the acute stages of la grlppeit is not a very fatal disease, but the condition in which it leaves the system has caused the death of a countless number. Indeed nearly every person who has had la grippe within the last three years finds himself more or less deranged by the pernicious effects of this disease. The majority of those who have escaped death find life scarcely worth living. If this vast multitude of people could only know with what certainty and promptness Peruna would relieve them of all the bad effects which la grippe has brought upon them, what an untold amount of suffering would be averted! Thousands have already heard how quickly this remedy will cure in these cases and have been saved; but tens of thousands have not yet heard, and continue to suffer on, dropping into the* grave one by one. Peruna cures catarrh in all etages and varieties, whether acute or chronic, and is therefore the most effective' remedy ever devised for removing alF the derangements which follows lagrippe.

Bliss referred to t h e cigarette evil and recommended stringent legislation for the suppression of t h e cigarette habit. " I n a general way I have known that t h e continued use of cigarettes has a very demoralizing effect upon the victims of the habit. I t requires no wonderful powers of observation to bring one to that conclusion. I n my visits to t h e almshouses and asylums of t h e state recently my attention may have been drawn to this fact. " I confess that the spectacle- of a small boy puffing at a cigarette gives me a shock every time I see it. It not only impairs t h e intellect, injures the health and leads to other forms of depravity, b u t it creates a desire for other excesses which ruin many of our y o u n g men. " I t is a great evil," he says, ''and t h e state should do everything possible to prevent it."— Lansing Journal. TO C u r e a Cold i n O n e D a y Take Laxative Bromo Quinine Tablets.

Iowa variety tests covering corn, spring wheat, oats and barley: Shallow cultivation gave the largest yield of corn. Winter wheat is unprofitable on account of the severe winters. On mellow ground spring wheat gave a larger yield by disking corn stubble than by plowing four and eight inches deep. Good results were obtained by sowing one pound of rape seed per acre with oats for pasture after the oats are harvested. In order to avoid interference in harvesting the oats it is advised to sow the rape two or three weeks later. Sowing a mixture of wheat and oats gave nu increase in the total yield. Soy beans and cowpoas, when grown at the station, did not form root nodules, and the cowpeas did not ripen seed. Sorghum as a fodder plant is recommended for the state. Brome grass (Bromus Inermis) is considered valuable to the section, but further experiments are necessary before a definite report can be made. l O - ^ O O ^ O O ' ^ O O ' J s v O O ^ O O ' ^ O O \ W.

At the national W C T U convention held at Washington a few weeks ago, a net gain of more than 14,000 members during the past year was reported as swelling t h e ranks of the W h i t e Ribbon workers. This record is unprecedented; and determination has been expressed to go out and do better t h e coming year. I n 1875, the Catholic bishops of Ireland, in national synod, put the following earnest words into an address issued to their people: "Drunkenness has wrecked more homes, once happy, than ever fell beneath the crowbar in the worst days of eviction; it has filled more graves, and made more widows and orphans, than did the famine; it has broken more hearts, blighted more hopes, and rent asunder family ties more ruthlessly than the enforced exile to which their misery has condemed emigrants." F. W. Bok, editor of the Ladies' Home Journal, finds this effective temperance sermon in real life: "Only recently there applied to me, for any position I could offer him, one of the most brilliant edicome 'very weary, but. still he Kept tne robber in sight.

"Why don't you write an anecdote, Rob?" asked the teacher. "I forget what au anecdote is," said Rob, undisturbed. "I explained to-you yesterday, Rob, and you ought to remember," said the teacher, a bit out of patience. "An anecdote is a tale. Now write." Rob bent over his slate and, with much twisting of brow and writhing of lip ground out his task. When the slates were collected, his was at the very top of the heap.

On one of the most pleasant sido -gtreetsof Cleveland -live two dogs—a lar*e, dignified hound and a saucy, small fox terrier. The two are the best of friends, and the big dog is always watching over the little one and doing his best to keep the pert fellow out of a fight. But the other day his watchfulness failed. Another terrier came and yelled defiance at the hound's comrade, and when the big dog arrived upon the scene it was to behold a frantic, tumbling, snapping heap, of which his favorite was part He seemed to consider the state of things, thou gave a sigh of patient dignity and began to walk around the combatants, keeping a critical eye on the struggle and evidently acting the part of umpire. His favorite was getting the worst of it, but lie did not interfere. Maybe he thought the punishment of defeat was better than any he could bestow. He watched silently till all at once his friend gave a yelp of real pain and trouble. Then suddenly the big dog awoke. With a bound he was beside the other two. With one tap ot his paw he sent the victor over into the dust, grabbed his favorite in his mouth as a cat grabs her kitten and made off to his own back yard. .

"Whether or not we believe In phre. nology, physiognomy and kindred sciences, there nre some peculiarities of feature that are quite often indicative of certain traits of character," said an observant man.

"A person with a short, sharply curved upper lip is nearly always of a happy, lovable disposition. One with a short but straight upper lip Is apt to be of a low order of intellect and coarse in his tastes. The person with a long, straight upper lip is the one to beware of. He has a will like adamant, is not always thoroughly trustworthy, is apt to be quarrelsome and jealous and is more often than not an unmitigated politician. If he is gifted with a strong Intellect, he will make his mark in one way or another; if he is not. he may become a harmless person, a parasite or a scoundrel. The man whose upper lip protrudes is apt to be a shrewd business man. "The person whose mouth has a decided droop at the corners may be a humorist, a hypochondriac or a poet.

A house was built, 10 feet long by 10 feet wide and 8 feet high at the corners, having the sides partly covered with wire cloth and large screen doors tn each end. The house was entirely beeproof and was made so that the temperature and light in the house were substantially the same as outside. Along the sides of the house were built" shelves, upon which fruit was placed so that the rays of the sun might strike the different varieties in different stages of ripeness from green to dead ripev Plates of ripe peaches, plums, peaf|, grapes, etc., were placed on the | shelves. Clusters of different kinds of | grapes, green and ripe, sound and im- | perfect and such as had been stung by I insects, were suspended from the raft- 1 ers and crossties of the house. Sept. 1 i three colonies of bees were removed ! from their hives carefully and quickly, , so that they would carry very little honey with them when transferred from one hive to another. Two of the colonies were hybrid bees and one Italian. These colonies were hived on 1 empty combs and placed in the house with the fruit. A wood stove .was put ; In the house, and for a number of hours each day. a high temperature was maintained. The physical conditions which would ordinarily prevail in nature during a protracted and severe drought were, artilicially produced and steadily maintained. .The bees were brought to the stages of hunger, thirst and starvation by these artificial conditions. { Every inducement and opportunity was afforded the bees to satisfy their hunger and thirst by attacking the fruit exposed. They daily visited thefruit in great numbers and labored diligently to improve the only remaining source of subsistence. They inspected and took what advantage they could of every opening at the stem or crack in the skin or puncture made by insects which deposit their eggs in the skin of grapes. They regarded the skin of peaches, pears, plums and other fruits having a thick covering simply as subjects for inquiry and investigation and not objects for attack. If the skin was broken or removed, they would in case of need lap aud suck1 the juices exposed. The same was.also-tpue-af-the grapes if the skin was broken by violence or burst on account of the fruit becoming overripe. The bees lapped and sucked the juices from the exposed parts of the grapos~and stored itrin tnrr cells for food. They made no attempt to grasp the skin of grapes with their mandibles or with their claws. If the grapes -wertr-ctrt open or burst from overripeuess, the bees would lap and suck the juice from the exposed segments of the grape until they came to the film separating the exposed and broken segments from the unbroken segments. Through and beyond the film separating the segments they appeared to be unable to penetrate tho outer skin, so it was removed from many grapes of different kinds, taking care not to rupture the film surrounding the pulp. When these were exposed to the bees, they continued to lap and suck the juices from the outer film until it was dry and smooth, as w:" the tilm between broken and unbroki.. segments. They showed no disposition to use their jaws or claws, and the outer film as well as the film between broken segments remained whole until the pulp decayed and dried up. The foregoing is one of a series of exhaustive experiments conducted by the agricultural department some years ago and reviewed recently in Rural New Yorker by Professor Slingerland apropos of the lawsuit between two brothers over bees and peaches, which bids fair to achieve lasting fame. Doubtless the other side will soon be vigorously heard from. A S l n s n l n r A i l m e n t . One of the leading alktrrsts- of -€Hrr— eago, with a practice of 30 years behind him, had an experience not long ago that was entirely new to him. It was near his hour for starting to his lecture class in a ^Yest Side school. Three women were in the waiting room. Two of them were willing to make an appointment for the next day. The third one. a stranger, would j hear to no delay, and the doctor's as- i sistant showed her in. ! "I had my hat in my hand," said the doctor, "and she had been told that 1 was ID a hurry. She came across tlie room in a most leisurely fashion, how-; pv»«r. takinir three times as much time. a i the" ordinary "person would. »ne was chewing an unusual wad of gum— a whole package, I should say—and she was chewing it with desperate vigor. "She sat down slowly, and I asked her a-question. She'looked straight at me and went on chewing. I spoke again and again, but she sat looking a t me and chewing in- asowefr silence as was possible under the circumstances. Finally I said to her: " 'Madam, will you kindly stop chewing long enough to answer my questions?' ' "Then she burst out, sobbing:" " ' T h a t ' s just what I'm here for—I can't stop—I've got to chew—and I've been chewing just this way for more than two years.' "—Chicago Tribune. IRRIGATION ITEMS, W h e e l e r ' * B r a T e r y . Wheeler's charge at the battle of Shlloh was said by General Grant to be one of the most splendid exhibitions of human bravery he had ever witnessed, and a feat which roused admira^ tion among both armies was when the intrepid little general accomplished the destruction of Itosecrans' provision train after the battle of Chickamauga. On Dec. 30, 1S03, General Wheeler attempted and successfully carried out one of the most daring, perilous and important duties ever assigned a cavalry commander. Ho crossed tlie Tennessee river in tlie face of a division of cavalry under Genera] George Crook. drove back and worsted the troops that guarded the Federal trains of GOO mules and 1,000 wagons and captured the whole, with 1,500 prisoners. While he was thus engaged Rosecrans' cavalry, 8,000 strong, swept down upon the Georgians. The latter charged anil repulsed the northerners, capturing the forts at McMinnville, Tenn., with GOO prisoners and great stores; capturing the forts and destroying the bridges near Murfreesboro, and then, as full of fight as a t the beginning of the engagement, they turned and put to rout General Hooker and the Eleventh and Twelfth corps that ,.canie riding down a t the moment to reenforce the Yankees.—Chicago Journal. T h e H i s t o r y o f a B o o k . Following^s the story of the first edition of Fitzgerald's celebrated translation of "Omar Khayyam." The book was issued anonymously and found no buyers. Accordingly the author went to Bernard Quaritch's shop, dropped a heavy parcel of 200 copies of the "Rubaiyat" and said, "Quaritch, I make you a present of these books." The famous bookseller offered them first at half a crown, then at a shilling and, again descending, at sixpence, but no buyers came. Iu despair, he reduced the book to a penny and put copies into a box outside his door, With a ticket, "All these at one penny-each." At that price the pamphlet moved, in a few weeks the lot was sold, and iu This way one of the finest gems of English literature was dispersed, among a not overt!iscerniug public. The legend has it'that Dante Gabriel Rossetti, Swinburne and Burton were among those who discovered the "hid: den treasure iu the penny box." Years passed, and the ouce despised volume rose in the market, and iu 1S0S Quaritch. bought in for £21 a copy w4u4di_40_ years before he had sold for a penny.

Clean culture is undertaken for two main reasons. One is moisture conservation, to reduce the irrigation requirements and to retain the added moisture for the use of the plant. Experience amply teaches that this^ Is successfully done. Just as barely adequate rainfall may bo rendered amply adequate by clean and frequent summer cultivation, so Irrigation water may be re-enforced in the duration and sufficiency of its effects by the same policy. Irrigation even in its wisest application has a tendency to compact any soil which is capable of compacting, and few can defy water settling. Compacting promotes evaporation and subsequent sun heating and the resulting dryness and undue heat as well as the density of the mass itself restrain root development. Consequently it is a universal conclusion that with a bare surface soil stirring must follow irrigation just as soon as the soil comes to good working condition. Winter irrigation is almost always followed by a good plowing and by a good harrowing also unless considerable rainfall is to be expected afterward. Summer irrigation is followed by stirring with whichever of the many forms of cultivators is found by local experience to be.the best pulverizer for the particular soil and which secures with the least labor fineness to an adequate depth, but it is plain that in the thirsty air of the arid region the earth mulch must be somewhat deep as well as fine to protect the arm layer from loss by evaporation. STRAW BARNS. B e d l a m . The word "bedlam" is a corruption of the word "Bethlehem" and originated as a synonym for chaos at the time when the house of Bethlehem, occupied by a sisterhood of London, became an insane asylum. The treatment of the insane in the early part of the sixteenth century was not well understood, and, according to the theories then prevalent, it was necessary to frighten the patient out of his lunacy. All sorts of awful expedients were resorted to. among them "surprise floors," which slipped from under the feet; "surprise baths" and {loggings at the periods of most "severe illness; hence the name "bedlam." the result of incorrect spoiling, possibly, came easily to stand for awful things.

L a s t W e l l I n t h e D r y R e g i o n s o f t h e W e s t — H o w t o B n i l d O n e . Straw buildings need not be the short lived affairs that the nature of the material would seem to indicate, and they can be given a reasonable degree of permanency in our dry climate, says a writer in Denver Field and Farm. The material costs nothing except tiie baling and is in great abundance. It will make a warmer wall than lumber, is easier kept in repair and does not require to be painted every few years. In the arid region in which lumber is especially scarce straw will last much better than in a moist climate. The straw must be baled, and the bales can be laid up like brick, breaking joints in the same manner. The usual size of bales is 13 by 18 inches, thus giving a wall IS inches thick if laid flatwise. Four courses of such bales would be about five feet high, likely a little more. The ordinary length is about 31^ feet. Tlie lengths should be gauged as accurately as possible. Different lengths of bale ties are made, but the difference is small. However, tire cost of ties is small, and in using a long tie for a short bale no harm would be done except some waste of wire. Ties might be cut in two and make a short bale which would be useful to fill in. Most of the bales should be of the same length. A sufficient number should be as much shorter as the bales are wide, thus giving an opportunity to break joints at the corners. The size of window frames should be figured with regard to the length and height of the bales, especially the latter. If a sash to fill them cannot be had, get one as near as possible to the right size aud till in around it on one or more sides with boards. Where a single sash is used it is best, as a rule, to swing it up. It is hardly practicable to slide it sideways. Where a side or end is to be without openings it can be built entirely of the long bales. It is best to bale the straw first, lay up enough bales to determine just how they will appear in the wall and then plan the size of the building accordingly. It is safest to m a k e drawings of the walls to be sure the courses will come out right. In most cases tlnvo or at most four lengths of bales will be sufficient with a little chinking, and most of these should be the longest size, only a few short ones being needed. The straw should net be baled too tight, for if rather soft the bales will settle closer and make a warmer w:all than if they are more rigid. xuTJCi:.

How Are Your Bowels? About the first thing the doctor says- Then, "Let's see your tongue." Because bad tongue and bad bowels go together. Regulate the bowels, clean up the tongue. We all know that this is the way to keep and look well. You can't keep the bowels healthy and regular with purges or bird-shot pills. They move you with awful gripes, then you're worse than ever. Now what you want is Cascarets. Go and get them today-Cascarets-in metal boxcost 10c Take one I Eat it like candy, and it will work gently-while you sleep. It cures, that means it strengthens the muscular walls of the bowels, gives them new life. Then they act regularly and naturally.

PINKHAM^ LYNN, MASS. : ^W1S** " DEAB MADAM : ~ I am suffering from inflammation of the ovaries and womb, and have been for eighteen months. I have a continual pain and soreness in my back and side. I am only free from f>ain when lying down, or sitting in an easy chair. When I etand I suffer with severe pain in my side and back. I believe my troubles were caused by over work and lifting some years ago. "Life is a drag to me, and I sometimes feci like giving up ever being a well woman; have become careless and unconcerned about everything. I am in bed now. I have had several doctors, but they did me but little good. " Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound has been recommended to me by a friend, and I have made up my mind to give it a fair trial. " I write this letter with the hope of hearing from you in regard to my case." — M R S . S. J . WATSON, Hampton, Va. November 27, 1899. " D E A R MRS. PIXKHAM: — I'feel it my duty to acknowledge to you the benefit that your advice and Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound have done for^ me. " I had been suffering with female troubles for some time, could walk but a short distance, had terrible bearing down pains in lower part of my bowels, backache, and pain in ovary. T. used your medicine for four months and was so much better that I could walk three times the distance that I could before. " I am to-day in better health than I have been for more than two years, and I know it is all due to Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. u I recommend your advice and medicine to all women who suffer." — MRS. S. J. WATSON, Hampton, Va. This is positive proof that Mrs. Pinkham is more competent to advise sick women than any other person. Write her. It costs you nothing. $5000 REWARD.—We have deposited with the National City Bank of Lynn. $5000, which will be paid to any person who can find that the above testimonial letters are not genuine, or were published before obtaining the writer's special permission.

In view of the fact that nearly $3,000 was brought before tho board of Supervisors of this county at the last meeting, against the county tor contagious diseases they were nonplused. As the Board understands the law there seems to be no assignable limit, as nearly every disease common to humanity may b« construed as contagious. Some resolutions were passed along the line: That no bills for contagious disease should be allowed unless services have been authorized by the proper authorities, and properly audited and passed upon by the township board or village board of health. They also resolved that the number of visits by the doctor to a person sick with a contagious disease, (small-pox excepted) ought not exceed one a day at one dollar a visit. In a case of smali-pox the rate of service should be agreed upon before service is rendered etc. The resolutions were sent to Hon. C. L, Kanouse, at Lansing, urging the' passing of an act defining only the more malignant forms of contagions di seases to become a county'charge, viz: small-pox, scarlet fever and diphtheria.

We see by a Toledo paper .that ten were invited into the Loyal Guard orde at that place on Thursday evening last and thirty more applications received. Toledo division, No. 145, are striving for the 500 mark. A Problem. In glancing over the back numbers of the DISPATCH when the newspaper was a new venture at this place we were struck with the advertising that the businessmen then had published in its columns and then compared it with to-day. Then times were just as hard as to-day; but buyers came for miles around to do their trading here at Pimjkney. Why was it? Did the merchants then have more goods that they wished to dispose of, than now? Some of onr older citizens tell us, trade was flush thoje days. Every business man had an interest in his town and business. Since general ad vertising has been pushed to the background, growing less and less every year, business has been OQ the downward road the same. As for advertising if rightly and timely done, it will find readers and when read the desire tor that article or articles are instilled in the mind; vbere if they had never oeen the adv. in print, never would have thought of it. The desire created a way will soon be found to secure it. If any man has coal to sell he will not sell by waiting until spring be-- fo:e he lets 3*011 know be has that article. Not many buyers can be found to purchase heavy woolen underwear in summer, nor .'ce-cream soda when the thermometer registers 20 below zero. So with anything, advertise in time before the buyers go elsewhere to buy did not, return it." To you who bor*>«J just what you are anxious to sell, then row we would say it is cheaper in the' 'Yo u will have no cause for complaint \ end to pay for ft yearly subscription. I t is strange how wet) the' news that appears in the DISPATCH, ia known by those who never pay a dollar to* ward its support. People will go, even if it is farther, where tbey can fiud bargains, so the best way is for eyery business man in Pinckney to do his best to turn the tide of business bis way. A Holly man received some garden seeds* from the agricultural department at Washington in an official envelope bearing the usual warning, "Penalty for private use, $300," the iraaked- envelope ot course being meant. He didn't understand it that way however, and sent the seeds back with a tetter to the effdet that be had not used one of the seeds and was not subject to any fine. Suddenly Called Home. The cloud of gloom that hovered over our quiet little village Jan. 21 brought deepest sorrow, to the hearti of the entire community, by the loss of one of our most respected young men. Emmett Monroe was born June 16 1877 he was the only son of Mr. and Mrs. Philander Monroe, and it was on his strong and willing arms they were leaning in their declining years. The large funeral, and tributes of beautiful flowers from his* many friends, and the comforting words spoken by Fr. Comerford show the esteem in which he was held. Gone from our circle, his labors are done, With glorfted spirits his songs have begun. His trials are ended, his sorrows are 0 er, He rests with the saints on Canaan's'bright sh*re. H'.s memory »tanils deeply engraved on the heart9 orchis friends, i ut soon we shall meet hire upon the -'bright shore," meet never to sever, Life's journeying's o'er. f * * In Memoriam. Erank S.

"My father has married again," she said frankly, "and I could not stay to see his wife In my mother's place, so I ran away. I don't think it was wrong." "But he must miss you very much." "Oh, no," she said naively, "he never cared for me. He always said I was _a_ nuisance to him, and ..he would want me less than ever now he has his new wife." 4I hope you are fairly comfortable?" — he said anxiously:—"f -have-never met Mrs. Tanner; but I own to a great dislike of her friend. Mrs. Wilmot." "Mrs. Wilmot is terrible; but Mrs. Tanner is not in the least like her. She is very sad and gentle." "And you mean to stay with her?" "Yes; if only the school gets on enough for her to afford to keep me." "Miss Lendon," said Harold, when she rose to return to her post, "I need •not tell you your secret Is safe with me; but you are very young to be so much alone in the world. Will you make me just this one promise? That ifs troubles arise so that you need a friend, you will let me do my best to help you." She was his enemy's daughter. Beryl felt If he knew she was the child of the pair who had wronged him he would have no more to do with her; hut she only said simply she should never forget Mr. Dynevor's kindness. It was a brilliant function, and an unqualified success. When at last the stalls were empty, and the flock of pleasure-seekers had gone home, Mrs. Craven carried off the busy moneymakers to an Informal supper at the Manor. Mrs. Dynevor and her son Joined the party, and Beryl found herself seated between Kitty and • her brother. ^"Will you come and see me, Miss Lendon?" asked the daughter of the Dynevors kindly. "Mother will be very pleased to welcome you. I suppose, in b Strict etiquette I ought to call at Woodlands; but I might come in cchpol hours, or make some other dreadful mistake, so it will be much nicer If you come to Uplands." Beryl thanked her; but said something about her duties and Mrs. Tanner. , "Oh, she must spare you 'sometimes. I seem to know you quite well after all these hours spent together, and we can't go back to being strangers." Mrs. Grey, her husband, and Beryl drove home in the shabby pony carriage; Mrs. Dynevor and her children walked the half-mile between the Manor and Uplands in the silvery moonlight MIt was a hnge success," said Kitty. "I really quite enjoyed myself, and we made a lot of money." v "And yon worked like Trojans," said fcsr brother; "everything went off famously." "Mother demr," said Kitty anxiously, "are you tired V "Not very. Yon mustn't' think me 'dull, Kitty; but somehow I never can enjoy myself at the Manor. I seem. to set the good old days, when your uncle and aunt were alive and we visited there. Kind and hospitable as the Cravens are. It is not the same taing." "Of course not, mother," jaeid Harold; ^ s t they are far pltasantsT neighbor* » > M tss*t*u.owasT w t t t a v o i W **I hope ^ef will not com* hers," breathed Mrs, Dynevor anxiously. "Harold, you must hare been tight or * l i t when your Aunt Nina left the Manor; do you remember her at all?" "Only that she was very pretty and gentle, and seemed more like a playfellow than an aunt; but why do you ask, mother?"' "Then you won't see the resemblance," said Mrs. Dynevor, in a disappointed tone; "but when I first looked at that girl who came with Mrs/ Grey I thought the years had turned back, and I saw Nina as she was when your uncle brought her home a bride. Miss London's face is graver and sadder, but the likeness Is wonderful." "Chance resemblances are puzzling things," said Kitty. "I have asksd Miss Lendon to come and see us, mother—you don't .mind, do you?" "I shall be glad for her to come, Kitty, she seems a charming girl. And, my dear, if Harold were not the best of brothers, you might be earning your bread." .* "I shouldn't tbe half as brave and contented over it as she is," said Kitty frankly. Arrived at the Uplands, mother and daughter went to bed,.for it was past their usual hour. Harold turned into his own den to smoke one pipe before retiring. As he lighted the gas his eye fell on a letter with the Marton postmark, addressed in the wellknown had of Mr. Proctor. "What can he want to write about? I saw him yesterday." But the lawyer had gone out of his way to do Harold a kindness. He would not even trust one of his clerk3 to write the letter of warning which he sent to his old friend's son. The letter was marked "private"—a needless precaution, for Harold Dynevor would be sure to keep its contents from his mother and Kitty until the last possible moment. Dear Dynevor: I have" bad news for you. It has reached me from a. true source that Eustace Lendon intends to gtveyou three-months notice of foreclosure at Micaelmas. My ininformant believes that he-is keeping his intention dark, so that it may take you by surprise, in the hope that the three monthswill be all too short for you to get the needed capital. I need not assure you of my most earnest sympathy. Still, the amount, though large, is not preposterous, and it ought to be possible to arrange things. Anyhow, by this letter you have five months to raise the money instead of three. Yours sincerely, W. Proctor. Harold Dynevor put his head on his hands and fairly groaned. He had been old enough when Dynevor Manor passed to a stranger to feel the loss of the old place very keenly; but that was as nothing compared to the bitterness he felt at the bare thought of Uplands, his mother's home, going from them to the man who was their direst foe. "Please God, it shall not be," he said reverently, as he folded the letter and put it in his pocket. "Mother shall never lose the house she was born in if I can help it. I'll work as man never did before, I'll toil early and late, but that money shall be found. And Eustace Lindon must content himself with Dynevor Manor; Uplands shall not be his!" But, brave as was the resolve, Harold did not make light of the difficulties in his path. To raise such a sum would have been a hard task even in prosperous times; and now, when a succession of bad harvests had spelled something like ruin to many a landowner, the difficulties of the attempt were quadrupled. der, sad-eyed widow, and made l n r request as frankly as possible. "I lost my heart to your assistant at the fete, Mrs. Tanner. I asked her to come and see us; but perhaps she is standing a little on ceremony, for f have not seen her; so I came over to* day to ask if you would let her walk back and have tea with us." "I shall be very pleased," was the prompt reply. "Miss Lendon Is a dear little thing, and this is a dull home for her." "Do you know," said Kitty, "when she came into the tent in her white frock, I thought Mrs. Grey had discovered some wandering princess, and pressed her into the service." "She is very pretty," said Agne3 Tanner, with a smile, "and, what is more, she is very patient and sweet-tempered. All my pupils like her, and my own little girl9 almost worship her. I hope I shall be able to keep her if only the school gets on." -» Kitty said a few kind words, hoping Woodlands would prosper, and then Mrs. Tanner sent for Beryl. "Miss Pynevor wants you to go back with her to tea at Uplands," she said kindly. "I can spare you perfectly, and the change will do you good." Left alone, the two girls looked at each"other; and then Kitty Dynevor broke the silence impetuously. Why wouldn't you come without my having U> fetch you?" Beryl hesitated. "I don't think I ought to come," shs said slowly. "You are one of the county, Miss Dynevor, and I am only a little school teacher." "I am not a snob!" said Kitty, quite angrily. "I know a lady when I se3 one, and'l don't value my friends for their position or their purse. Now will you come?" Five minutes-later they were walking back to Uplands together, and Beryl was telling Kitty how long and dreary she thought the way the first night of her arrival. "I don't wonder," returned Miss Dynevor. "A drearier place to arrive at after a long journey I can't imagine. I can't think why people tried to turn that hamlet into a watering place. Easthill itself is delightful." "You have lived there a long time, haven't you?" "I was born at-Uplands, Harold, my CHAPTER VIII. Helen Craven's engagement followed very quickly on the fete, and she departed on a long visit to her fiance's family. Perhaps it Was her friends.' absence which made Kitty Dynevor remember the pretty girl at Mrs. Tanner's and her desire to sec more of her. She missed Helen very much. There was a cloud on the Uplands. Kitty, who was still ^treated as "the little one," from whom all sorrow and anxiety must be kept as long as possible, was not allowed to know that -Eustace Lindon now held the mortgage on their home; but she could not help seeing that her mother was graver than usual, and Harold seemed extra troubled. She knew them both too well to ask questions, and, deciding a little company would be good for them all, she strolled over to East hill-on-Sea about a fortnight after the fete, called at Woodlands, and asked to see Mrs. Tanner. Kitty was impulsive in all things. She detested the Wilmots. but she was ready to>belleve Beryl that Mrs. Tan- Mr ;**•<**• Hies her sister, and she felt she could hardly hope to see much of Miss Lendon if the persisted In ignoring her employer. She took a great fancy to the tlenbrother, was born at the Manor. Thers had been something wrong with the Uplands drains, and mother went to the Manor for two months. The old gossips used to declare it meant he would inherit the property, that the master of Dynevor was always born at the Manor. They were quite wrong, however. But I forgot—perhaps you don't lenow our story?" "Mrs. Grey told it to me," said Beryl frankly. "I think it is one of the saddest I ever heard. I wonder you don't hate Mr. Lindon." "Mother and Harold are too good to really hate any one. I am afraid when things go wrong at home, and they look more bothered than usual, my feelings towards Mr. Lindon are rather bitter." "I suppose you don't remember his wife?" "Oh, no; I was not born when she left England. Of course it was really her fault the place passed a^ay from us; but I have always %\t sorry for her." --^- • . "I wonder why?" remarked Beryl, trying to keep the eagerness out o! her voice. , "A very little thing. There was a woman in the village here Aunt Nina took with her as maid. When they got abroad I think she was promoted to be a kind of humble companion. She came back about twelve months before Aunt Nina died, and she lived with us for a few years. She was not given to talking; but now and again she'd let out things. She was my nurse, and I was just the age of Beryl Lindon, Aunt Nina's second child. Somehow -she'd say things now and then which made me feel Mr. Lindon ill-treated his wife. She never said anything outright—never enough for me to repeat it to mother; but though I was only a little thing—sne left before I was ten years old—sh» sa!d enough^o make: me sure i#r aunt was unhappy." They were at Uplands now. Beryl had no time to ask the nurse's name, or if she were still living at Easthill. Mrs. Dynevor stood on the veranda waiting to welcome the stranger, and the conversation was changed. (To be continued.) Lelth Balldlog Grtat Dcx'k*. Leith, Scotland, will become a port of some capacity and trade two years hence. A suite of docks is in construction there, which Is to cost between 300.000 pounds and 400.000 pounds more than was estimated when the Leith dock commissioners launched their program. In 1896 seventy-five acres of the-foreshore were reclaimed; and the dock now near completion is 1,900 feet leng, with a width of 550 feet for 1,100 feet of its length and 280 feet for the remsinder. The dock walls are forty-four feet high, and there are to be two pairs of steel gates, each weighing close upon 300 tons. To' this equipment it has been resolved to add a graying dock 500 feet long.

An editor's duty is to speak of the town as the liveliest place beneath the blue arch of heaven, says the Harbor Springs, Mich., Lyre. ' Speak of a deceased citizen as a "fallen oak" when he died of jim-jams. Call a man a prominent citizen when you know he is the best poker player in town.^* Speak of a street arab as a bright-eyed youth on the road to fame; a bigfooted, newly-married woman as a beautiful, and accomplished bride. Call a man who has a few rusty bolts of calico and a soldiei's coat a prosperous and experienced dry goods merchant; call a lawyer a shining light when you know him to be an ordinary pettifogger. s TATE of MICHIGAN, County of Livingston, S3. .At a session of the Probate Court for said county, heW at the Probate Office in the village of Howell, on Monday, the 14th day of January, in the year one thousand nine hundred and ore.

Fremont, never received any honor or gratitude from the negro race; a daring soldier and a Major-General, he lived in poverty for twenty-five years without a pension; the man who had given a vast realm richer than Golconda to his country, he died, not owning a single foot of ground to leave to his children. —February Ladies' Home Journal. «J0x& Tbiii signature i i on every box of tbe genuino Laxative JBromo-Quinioe Table* the remedy .that c u r e s a e e l d I n o n e d a y Is h i g h l y b e n e f i c i a l ; it a d d s m u c h t o t h e p l e a s u r e o f t h e t a b l e ; it t a k e s a w a y f r o m t h e d i s c o m f o r t of t h e long, h o t d a y s in t h e field, a n d it k e e p s f r e s h v e g e t a b l e s , f r u i t s a n d b u t t e r f r o m losi n g q u a l i t y a n d v a l u e .

The failure of t h e brakes to work caused a traction car to run wild a t Newcastle, Pa., on the 19th. I t left the track and dashed into city hall, tearing out an entire corner. - According to a dispatch from Kingston, Ja., dated the 21st. a distructive storm has raged there since the 18th, causing total destruction of the banana plantations on every side. About $1,000,000 worth of copper property changed hands in the Idaho district on the 26th. A syndicate headed by Capt L. A. Hall, one of the largest lumbermen of Michigan, were the purchasers. Chas. Cunningham, of Hanford, Cal., is working on a substitute for coal and wood—straw, cornstalks, damaged hay, weeds, sawdust and other refuse will be pressed into bricks and used for fuel by his scheme. Montreal, Que., was swlpt by a very destructive fire on the morning *of the 24th. The property loss is placed at from $2.r,oo,000 to «3,000,000. The handsome and costly board of trade building, together with many other smaller buildings, are among the ruins. A head-on collision between freight trains on the Grand Trunk railroad, near Locke's Mill, Me., on the 19th, resulted in the deaths of five men and serious injury of several others, and lour locomotives and 12 cars were demolished^ Both- trains were very heavy, «ach being drawn by t w o engines. The supreme court of Missouri on the 21st sustained a motion to quash the alternative writ of ouster, in the St. Louis Consolidated Street railway A n Enterprise of Ve^st Proportions and Unpetr&Jled Magnificence. Illustrating Progress in the Western Hemisphere During the Nineteenth Century. As a beautiful spectacle, the Pan- American Exposition will surpaja any rXormer enterprise of Its character. It Will delight and satisfy the eyt* and memory will long retain the picture presented. T h e style of architecture la a free treatment of the Spanish Renaissance, and the architects have made the most of the opportunity to enhance its picturesqueness. The buildings are covered with staff, which is molded into thousands of fanciful Bhapes, and color is used with such excellent effect as t o evoke the name of "'Rainbow City" for the ensemble of Exposition palaces. It is the first attempt to produce a harmonious color scheme at an exposition, and is a grand success. Sculpture adds greatly t o the effect, majestic statues and costly modeled groups being upon the buildings and bridges and in the courts. There are more than 125 of these grand works, by the most noted sculptors of America. The court settings are superb. They take up more than 33 acres, approximately t w o and a half times greater than the area of the courts of the World's Columbian Exposition at Chicago. The hydraulic and fountain effects are of a superior orond finest pipe organs ever constructed in America, built t o order a t a cost of $15,000. Entertainments of a high order of excellence will be given i n the Temple. In the band-stands in the Music Gardens and elsewhere on the grounds concerts < will be given by Sousa's Band of 100 pieces, t h e Mexican Government Band of 67 pieces, and other famous musical organizations. In all the exhibit divisions the Pan- American is very complete. It is the aim of the Exposition to show the progress of the nineteenth century in the Western world. The exhibits are gathered from all the principal states and countries of the Western Hemisphere and the new island possessions of the United States government. Special efforts have been made to bring together exhibits of exceptional novelty and of the highest educational value. The divisions, each of them a considerable exhibition in itself, are as follows: electricity and electrical appliances; fine arts, painting, sculpture- decoration; graphic arts, typography, lithography, steel and copper plate printing, photo-mechanical processes, drawing, engraving and bookbinding; liberal arts, education, en- j and 450 feet wide. position. On the northern shore of the lake is situated the life-saving station erected by the government. Upon the southern bank of the lake, a beau* tiful casino and boat-house has also been built by the city of Buffalo for Exposition uses. The symmetrical grouping of buildings will be at once noted by the observer. Beginning at t h e formal a p - proach, just north of the lake, the eye follows northward between t w o rows of ornamental columns to what is known a s the Forecourt. East of this are the State am) Foreign Buildings, forming in themselves a very, interesting feature of the Exposition. Near these, also, are the buildings for the special ordnance displays: West o f the Forecourt are *he outdoor Horticultural displays and the Women's Building. We cross now the Triumphal Bridge, remarkable for ka tall piers richly ornamented with statues. On either side^are the Mirror Lakes, which form a part of the Grand Canal, more than a mile in length, which surrounds the main group of buildings. We comjt next to the Esplanade, which is nearly two-fifths of a mile long The western end case, instituted by the attorney-gen eral on the ground of illegal combination in violation of the anti-trust laws. This makes the consolidation legal. Without the slightest warning t w o and a half tons of chlorate of potash exploded during a fire at the Walkerville Match Co.'s warehouse, at Walkerville, Ont., on the evening of the\25th, causing the death of two firemem one member of the hook and ladder company and serious injury to more 'than a dozen other people. The fire is supposed to have been caused by spontaneous combustion among the matches. A desperate attempt was wade on the night of the 21st by train robbers to hold up the Union Pacific overland express near Kearney, Neb. A large pile of rock was placed on the track t o wreck the train, which was reported to have a large amount of money on board. The robbers secreted themselves behind a hill near the track. A pedestrian was severely beaten and robbed by the gang, but got away from them and ran to Kearnej'- and gave the alarm in time to prevent a wreck. The KaiMr'i Gift. On the morning of the 27th Empero* William received from the'hand of the duke of Connaught his sword on his appointment as a field marshal of the English army, in the presence of the households of King Edward and the dead queen, as well as a number of British and German naval officers.

In all the courts are large pools of water into which hundreds of fountains throw their sparkling streams. In all the courts and upon the grounds outside the buildings are very elaborate horticultural and garden effects. The floral display is exceedingly fine. Nothing which might contribute to make a scene of loveliness has been overlooked or omitted by the builders of the Exposition City. ' With all its wonderful beauty by day, the Exposition will be, like the Gereus of Tropical America, a flower of the night. T i e n will it blossom in exquisite perfection.--With all the fountains playing amid floating lights upon every golden, rippling pool; with the great cascade shooting in veil-like form from its niche in the Electric Tower, which rises to a height of 391 gineering, public works, constructive architecture, hygiene and sanitation, music and the drama; ethnology, archaeology, progress of labor and invention, isolated and collective exhibits; agriculture, foods and their accessories, agricultural machinery and appliances; horticulture, viticulture; live stock, horses, cattle, sheep, swine, pet stock; forestry and forest products; fish, fisheries, fish products and apparatus for fishing; mines and metallurgy; machinery; manufactures; transportation exhibits; railways, vessels and vehicles; ordnance. The Exposition grounds are in the northern part of Buffalo, adjacent to the large and. beautiful Delaware Park. They are about one mile in length from north to south, and a half a mile wide. There are 35u acres, including 133 acres feet; with more than 200,000 electric >jl improved park lands and lakes lights fringing every building and giving to every jet and ripple of water a fantastic iridescence; with music ilending the charm of sweet sounds to the harmony of color and sculpture, flowers, foliage and fountains, the evening scenes at this Exposition will be such as n o lover of the beautiful will permit to pass without at least one determined effort to witness them. An electric display, the like of which -has never yet been seen, is promised, and this will be possible on account of the nearness of the great plants which have harnessed Niagara and put its tremendous power t o commercial use. The sum of $10,000#00 has been expended to provide a magnificent spectacle and Illustrate the achievements of the nineteenth century. The Midway alone cost (3,000,000, and the variety of novelties and their quality excel the features of any former amusement enterprise at an exposition. Music is an Important feature of the Exposition. The magnificent Temple of Music, which has a seating capacity Entering the grounds 'by way of the Lincoln Parkway, the visitor obtains a magnificent view of the picture presented. In the immediate foreground is a portion ot Delaware Park, one of the famous beauty spots of Buffalo, with the Park Lake, the North Bay at the left, and in the foreground south of the bay, in course of construction, the Albright Art Gallery, a beautiful permanent building of wljjte manble, the gift of John J. Albright of Buffalo* to his fellow citizens, and costing over $400,000/ North of the bay is the New York State Building, also a permanent structure of marble.

The eastern end is shut in by the government group of three large buildings. Sunken gardens with elaboroate fountains and many groups of sculpture occupy the two arms of the Esplanade, and the decorative features throughout this broad space are very numerous and beautiful. North of the Esplanade is the Court of Fountains, with the Ethnology Building on the right and the Music Building on the left. Two subordinate courts also open into the Esplanade from the north, the one on the east being known as the Court of Cypresses and the one onjthe west as the Court »of Lilies. Next, north of the Ethnology Building, on the right, and fronting upon the Court of Fountains, is the Manufactures and Liberal Arts Building, and on the opposite side the Machinery and Transportation Building. In the Court of Fountains is a large pool, having an area of about t w o acres, and containing many beautiful fouutains. Proceeding again northward, we come to the Mall, a broad avenue, half a mile long, extending from the eastern boundary to the western gate of the Exposition. Fronting upon the Mall, on the right, is the Agriculture Building, and on the left the Electricity Building. We now arrive at the most conspicuous feature of the Exposition, the massive Electric Tower. This tower stands between the' Court of Fountains and the Plaza, in a broad pool, about t w o acres in extent. Immediately north of the Electric Tower is the Plaza with its beautiful sunken gardens and band-stand in the center, tho Propylaea or monumental entrances at the north, the entrance to the Stadium at tho east, and the entrance to the Midway on the west. The Exposition will open May 1, and continue lor six months. ' . ELBERT L. LEWIS. Now it kills lcs3 than 80 individuals— a saving cf 8,000 or 9,000 lives every year. If smallpox were as bad now as it was half a century ago, it would kill 9,000 people this year. But in reality it will kill less than 100, and perhaps not half of that number. When cholera tried to force its way in, a few years ago, we drove It off with the greatest ease. But if things were in the state they were in in 1849, it would have carried off 130,000 of m .

The demand for the death penalty will be preferred against all the leaders mentioned in the decree, in addition to the posthumous degradation of such antiforeign leaders as have committed suicide. Mr. Conger stated at the meeting of ministers on the 24tti that he could not support the demand if it should be made in writing, but verbally he would do so with heart and soul. This is the situation now, and wiU continue to be for six months or more unless the American plan for change of venue finds acceptance.

Miss Preese is the Vice Templar of the Independent Order of Good Templars, and organist of the Rebeccas of Peshtigo. During her twelve years' experience as a trained nurse she has had many opportunities for observation, and her opinion in all medical health matters is held in very high esteem by the thousands who have learned to know,and love her. In speaking of her experience she says: "During my twelve years as a trained nurse I have often observed how many different physicians give their patients Dodd's Kidney Pills in cases of Diabetes and Kidney Trouble. About three years ago I myself suffered some months with a weakness and continual congested condition, and I decided to try what the Pills would do for me. I soon found that they built up the. affected parts and restored harmony to the entire; system, and although I often lose much sleep and rest while attending severe cases, I find that I was never in finer health nor had more endurance than since I have used theBe marvelous Pills." Clergymen say they are good, Senators and Congressmen^ave added their evidence as to the wonderful curative properties of this Medicine, hundreds of physicians recommend them and use the'm in their daily practice. The most skilled trained nurses advise their use and use them themselves, while tens of thousands of sick and suffering people are being cured every day by Dodd's Kidney Pills. They should cure you. They will cure you. Try them. HOLWOKTrfY H A U - "The Chicago and Florid* KpsMAi." Solid vestlbuled traiils from Chicago to St. Augustine every Wednesday and Saturday via "Big Four" route.

O&ct its rooms were lot to seniors only. Up to last year no freshman was s i - lowed to apply for a room there, and though some freshmen had lived there, ft was by error only. The hall was the prise hall of the college. Others, more luxurious, with better conveniences and more comforts, had been built. There were many that cost more, but there were none so popular. Never has a Holworthy room been posted on the official bulletin board long enough for the ink to get dry. Holworthy stands across the north end of the old yard at Harvard. It is a plain brick building, with a slightly tilted roof, four stories high, without ornament or break. It is oblong, with small, sixteen light windows, and is divided into three entries, with eight rooms in an entry. The rooms are so arranged that big square studies are in the front of the building, and from these two rooms bedrooms open running through to the rear. In two of the entries the rooms have light on three sides, ^t is these large rooms that have made the place a favorite for a century. Formerly men of wealth lived here. A suite that cost |260 was too steep for the average undergraduate seventy-five years ago. Rooms were to be had for from $30 to $50 then. Matthew Holworthy, an English merchant, left in 1678 to the "college or university in or of Cambridge in New England £1,000 for the "furthering of learning and promulgation of the Gospel In those parts." It was not until the early part of the century that the work was begun. President Kirkland, the head of the college, didn't have money enough to put up the building, so a lottery was opened, and the proceeds supplied the balance of the fund. It was finished and opened in 1812 by President Kirkland.—New York Pr»ss I i \i'*rii~ir'fi\fm1m& * * WORST EVER / : (J <: ' > 1 J i o . U o.<.> O / J o o ; ; r~> < < ' • o.r> ( J (j.<)<..

Every family should take the precaution to secure a supply of Peruna at once, for the retail and wholesale stock of the remedy may be exhausted by the enormous demand for i t It is wisdom to have Peruna in the house even before the grip attacks the household. It has been ascertained by a reporter that the following people of national reputation have given public endorsement and testimonials to Peruna as a remedy for la grippe: Congressman Howard, of Alabama, says} "I have taken Peruna for the grip and recommend it as an excellent remedy to all fellowsufferers." Congressman White, of North Carolina, says: "I find Peruna to be an excellent remedy for tha grip. I have used i t in my family and they all join me in recommending It" Miss Francis M. Anderson, of Washington, D. C, daughter of Judge Anderson, of Virginia, says: "I was taken very ill with the grip. I took Peruna and was able to leave my bed in a week." Mrs. Harriett* A. S. Marsh, President of the Woman's Benevolent Association of Chicago,.writes^ "I suffered with grip seven weeks. Nothing helped me. Tried Peruna and within three weeks I was fully restored. Shall never be without it again." 'At the appearance of the first symptoms of grip people should stay Indoors and take Peruna in small doses (teaspoonful every hour) until the symptoms disappear. This, will prevent a long, disastrous sickness and perhaps fatal results. VmS r w ®$®&&m$®&^^ Alarm Without Catteries. A new variety of electric fire alarm -has- been ^rodueed—ia which no batteries are used. The system is intended for small towns and cities and is very thoroughly worked out, In each alarm box is a masneto machine, similar to that usod in connection with the telephone as a call bell, which is connected with a powerful clock, spring through appropriate calm3 and levers so that when the box is opened by means of a key the armature of the magneto machine receives a definite succession of short, quick half-turns,- Each of t^e*e sends out over the circuit in which the box is connected an impulse of electrical current which may be of considerable power. This is received in the usual way on gongs and registers. To forget to wind a watch is a sure sign you are g-etting old.

The railroads have been greatly abused as soulless corporations that were grinding the life blood out of the people. The great Galveston disaster has, however, revealed the fact that the managers of these corporations have hearts which are susceptible of being touched by the cries of distress. Their trains were placed at the disposal of all those engaged in relief work on the coast. Provisions and supplies were carried forward free of charge, committees from every section of the state were furnished transportation, and when the refugees from Galveston began to pour into Houston and it became a serious question what was to be done with them the railroads solved the problem by furnishing transportation without charge to all who wished to leave and. to any pojnt they wished' to go. Grand Master Anderson informs us that but for this fact Houston would have been overrun with people who had to be cared for, and that suffering and distress would have been largely increased as well as the cost of meeting conditions which would have prevailed. Bro. Anderson desires us, through these columns, to thank the different roads for the great service rendered his committee at Houston. If it were possible we would be glad to see parallel columns, in one of which should appear the acts of these railroad corporations in a time of great calamity and distress, and in the other the amount contributed by thelittle two-by-four demagogues who are always trying to array the prejudices of the masses against any and every kind of enterprlse.-^FYom the Texas Odd Fellow. =5T SEES 'A R«nisdy for tbe Grippe.

Altogether it is fair to •expect that the attendance at this first (Exposition of all the Americas will be •the largest in the history of Exposit i o n s in either the New World or the ;0ld.

As many and perhaps more will be used in illuminating the Streets of Mexico, Other Midway structures will also be profusely illuminated and the lights thua used are all additional to the 300,000 required for the illumination about the courts of the Exposition. Thirty-five thousand gallons of water per minute will be required for the fountain display of the Exposition, .which will be the most elaborate of any ever undertaken for a similar purpose. Fifty feet will be the height of some of the jets in the Court of Fountains. The jets will be electrically illuminated at night. Seventy feet is the height of the cascade falling from the front of the Electric Tower into the basin below. Five hundred and sixty-five by two hundred and twenty-five are the dimensions of the basin of the'Court of Fountains,-which equals 98,872 square feet. . Five thousand horse power of electricity will be delivered in Buffalo from tors of Pan-America, and will cost about half a million dollars, oelng the grandest collection of decorative Exposition sculpture ever assembled.

An expert cowboy hunts dogs as he does cattle. He ropes them the same way. Clad in a pair of buckskin trousers, and wearing a big sombrero, with rope In hand or on the saddle born, and a six-shooter in MB belt, h e starts down the street on his broncho looking for dogs. As he spies one which has BO legal right to roam at large he sticks the spurs to his pony, grabs his rope and begins operations. He usually ropes the dog around the neck, draws him to the pony's side And shoots him. He then stuffs the carcass into a sack attached to the saddle and gallops off after more "game." If a stranger is watching the performance the dog catcher does some fancy roping. He will rope the dog around Che front foot or hind foot, or around the body between the feet. He hardly ever mlttes his mark. . Dog AatehlDg la the Indian country' is more ticklish business than it is in the citit-s in the states. The catcher not onhy has to dodge flatirons. mop sticks, and brooms thrown by irate women (for a wild-looking cowboy with a six-shooter has no terror to an Indian Territory woman), but he has Indians to deal with. An Indian, thinks almost as much of his dog as he does of his kids, and if the dog catcher by mistake kills it there is trouble. Dogs belonging to Indians are exempt from taxation. But the Indiana must brand them. The dogs of non-citizens are the ones discriminated against, if their masters fail to pay tax on them then they most pay the penalty of death. In order to evade the tax occasionally a non-citizes forges a brand and marks his.dog as if it belonged to an Indian. In order t o prevent frauds of this character the dog catcher must be an expert on dog brands. ing by colonnades are two other buildings each 150 feet square.

An anecdote in some reminiscences of Mrs. Anne "Jean Lyman, a prominent New England woman and a contemporary of Mrs. Lydia Maria Child, records what may be considered a standing epitaph for fancy work.

A young mas, calling on the ladies one day. found them busy embroidering mourning pieces in which tall women in short waists and long skirts stood weeping by a monument They begged for a motto for their pieces, and instantly got this bit ci wit: In useless labors all their hours are spent. They murder Time, then work his monument. La Grippe is epidemic catarrh.—It spares no class or nationality. The cultured and the ignorant, the aristocrat and the pauper.

Plans have been completed for the Standard Portland Cement Company's plant soon to be erected at Hamburg Junction, on th: banks of Zukey lake, and the work of erecting this plant will be speedily rushed to completion as soon as spring opeus and it is thought 500 meu will be in actual daily employment in less than one year. The plant as outlined will be a city of itself composed of thirteen large buildings. The company is organized and incorporated under the laws of the state of Michigan , with an authorized capital of $1, -000/300. It is said that the marl beds at that place are the richest in the United States. The prop, erty on which the company holds optious,at the preseut time by actual measurement has been found sufficient to manufacture not less than 60,000,000 barrels, as carefully demonstrated by the University of Michigan.

The prevalence of sprains and strains owing to the Indulgence In athletic exercises of all kinds moves an au thority on the treatment of these pain ful accidents to say: A little eorumou sense t r e a t m e n t if often all that is needed when the strain is at ankle or wrist aud without com plications. It will swell very alarmingly at first and gradually develop a frightful looking bruise, but from tin first it should have complete rest and a treatment of hot and cold douches, the hot being used at first, when the swelling is painful, and the cold latei on, as a sort of touic to the relaxed muscles. The hot must be very hot and the cold very cold, as the tepid Water does harm rather than good. For the first day of a strain, whec all the wrenched cartilages and muscles are aching, great relief is found in a poultice of egg and salt. To m a k e It, beat the white of an egg till light, bul not stiff. Stir in gradually a cup and a half of salt, or more if needed, tc make a thick, pastelike Icing. Spread this on a cloth and bandage in place. Cover all with oil silk or a thick bath towel to protect the sheets, since the egg leaks out continually. After this h a s relieved the soreness begin witfc hot water fomentations and w e a r a light, firm bandage, except at night.

All these and many more, I might mention, make t h e parent wish t o keep t h e child a t home as long as possible. B a d as this condition is it might be far worse.

The President on the 25th trans^ mitted to the senate a report of the secretary of war, inclosing the report Of the Taft Philippine commission. In his message of transmittal the President says that the report includes not only the reports of the commission, but its act of legislation, and he earnestly recommends legislation under which the government of the islands may have authority to assist in their peaceful industrial development in the directions indicated by the secretary of war. % The latest about the ¢00,000,000river and harbor bill is that the senate will nbTstrilce duTahy oFtEe items aggre^ gat ing over §7,000,000 for improvements in Michigan waters, nor the items for improvements elsewhere, but will scale down a 'good many of them. Mark Hauna is one of the senators who says the appropriation ought to be reduced one-half, and he lives in the same town as the chairman of the house committee that compiled the «60,000,000 bill. After an eventful legislative experience beginning with the present session of congress, and covering about two months, the bill for the reorganization of the U, S, army passed its last stage in congress on Jan. 31, and now goes to the President for his signature. The final step was taken in the senate where, by a vote of 33 to 24, the conference report on the bill, was agreed to. The house of representatives has already agreed to the report. A big petition signed by 5.000 firms and • individuals engaged in various kinds of work, plumbing, ventilating, etc., throughout the United States, was presented to the house on the 26th. protesting against the letting of general contracts for interior work on the public buildings. The petitioners desire direct contracts made for each class of work. The President on the 28th sent to the senate the following nominations: Maj. E. V. Andruss, 4th artillery, to be lieutenant - colonel; Capt Frank Thorp, -5th artillexy, to be major; First Lieut John F. McMahon, 4th artiller3% to be captain; Second Lieut Fox Conner, 2d artillery, to be first lieutenant. The house committee on invalid pensions on the 1st defeated a motion to report the bill for a pension court of appeals, a measure favored by the G. A. R. The finance committee of the senate has prepared a statement showing that the proposed internal revenue tax on bucket shops would bring 810,000,000 a year. It is now quite evidVt that President McKinley will call a special session of congress to enact needed legislation for the Philippines and Cuba. The house on the 28th passed a bill to revise and codify the postal laws. 300 Killed and Wounded. The military authorities has been advUed of another engagement which took place between the Mexican government troops and a large force of Maya Indians. The battle took place about nine miles from Chan Santa Cruz, Mex., the stronghold of the rebels, and resulted in a victory for the troops.

Pool* ol Whiting, Waiting, Ind., Feb. 4, 1901.-(Special.)— The Presidents of, the Ladies of the Grand Army of the Republic have a n association composed exclusively of the Presidents of the different State Associations. This Presidents' Association chooses a President, and to this very high and distinguished position Mrs. Mary E. Ppole of this place has been elected. Mrs. Poole is thoroughly deserving of this great honor. Her devotion to the interests of the Association is very marked, and her experience with the old soldiers of the G. A. R. is wide. Mrs. Poole is never slow to take advantage of anything that may benefit the veterans, and her zeal has resulted in much that Is good to these grand old men. She writes of her experiences: "Honor to whom honor is due, and having seen the numerous cures effected through the use of Dodd's Kidney Pills, I gladly endorse them as being particularly effective to cure that dreaded disease of so many of our old soldiers, Bright's Disease and Kidney Disorders of different kinds. Kidney Disease soon poisons the entire system, and as a result the vital organs are attacked, and I have found that no remedy so surely, completely and quickly finds the weak spot and heals it as Dodd's Kidney- Pills. "I have used them myself in slight attacks of biliousness and indigestion, and usually find that from three to four pills do the work." Such evidence from a lady of so much distinction and experience should convince." any sufferer from Kidney Trouble that Dodd's Kidney Pills is the remedy that never fails. 50c a box, six boxes for ¢2.50.

It is made from millet and mealies, and is mild but intoxicating. Until quite recently everything was carried on the head. A Zulu woman will carry 200 pounds of mealies in this fashion. When a Kaffir was first seen carrying *a load by the hand Instead of on his head, the Dutch thought it a dangerous Imitation of European fashion. Women have so far^asserted themselves as to refuse to hoe the mealies for planting, but they will weed. A woman goes about'with her baby tied on her back, •vhlle she rocks herself and croons to t.

I t was a very happy evening that Beryl spent at Uplands. Mrs. Dyae- VOK!S> heart went out to' the pretty, graceful girl, who seemed so strangely alone in the world; Kitty had taken v A fancy to her; and when Harold came In for tea the three were aa much at home as though they had known each •other for months. "You must let me take you home," Harold said to the little governess, TVhen she came downstairs about eight ,with her hat on. "Oh, I could not trouble you, Mr. rDynevor, it is so far! And I am not at all afraid." "Harold loves, an evening tramp, and tit Is much too far for you to go alone," tsaid Kitty. "Mind you come again :soon. Mother wants you to, don't you mother?" "Yes," put in Mrs. Dynevor. "I shall ibe very pleased to see Miss Lendon whenver she has time to come." When they were walking down the 'broad, shady lane which led from Upl a n d s W EasthiTl village Harold asked isimply. "Do you know you have made a conquest of my mother, Miss Len- >don? I never saw her so much taken •with a stranger." "She was rery, very kind to me. Oh, "Mr. Dynevor, when I saw her and Kitty together I could not help wishing I had a mother." The voice was so sad it touched his "heart "I wish you vrcrald confide your troubles to my mother, Miss Lendon," he said gently, "she would know how to comfort you. The advertisement of- Terihg^lbe rewara_lraB~-notbeen r e - peated for some weeks now, and I had hoped you would feel happier." To his surprise and alarm, he_heard her sob. They were quite alone in a little frequented lane. He longed to comfort her, only he could think of no words. "Miss London," he said, very gently, "like you, I have known troublesone presses on ^he now whose weight seems to crush me to the earth. Human friends can do very little to soothe an aching heart; but there is One above who knows all His children's griefs, and sorrows for them. He will comfort you better than any earthly friend." "I know," she said, simply yet reverently. "Mr. Dynevor, I had better tell you the truth. I can trust you not to betray rae"td my father.-aiid I caiinot bear to come to Uplands and take kindness from you all iwhen, if you knew my story, you would shrink from me in loathing." An awful fear crossed Harold's heart. What could she mean? Only a little while ago, at the fete, she had assured him she was not -fleeing from justice, and he had retorted no one could take her for a criminal. What did her present words mean? "Whatever you tell me I will keep as a sacred trust," he answered. "But, indeed, Miss Lendon. you are mistaken ;"nofhmg you can say will make me shrink from you." "But I am the child of the two who 'wronged you cruelly. I am your -enemy's daughter—Beryl Lindon„" He started involuntarily. Really the movement was simply surprise, but •she thought it was due to aversion. "I never meant to deceive you or any one," she went on. her voice growing a little firmer as she proceeded. "I ran away from home because my father wrote that he had married again, and his new wife was to have full authority over me. Mr. Dynevor, that woman had lived in the house for nine months, openly as my maid, really as my tyrant. Last January, while my father was away, she—she struck me. I appealed to the housekeeper, who •dismissed her. Do you think I could have stayed to see that woman in my mothers' place?" "No one could have wished it," he answered quickly—"no one who loved you.'* "I took Mrs. Tanner's situation be • •cause it was the only one I -could get and the time was all too short. I had only three weeks from getting my father's letter to the day he brought his *wife home. "When I came to Easthill I had never heard of Dynevor Manor. I had not,the least idea my father possessed property here, or I should* have been afraid to come. ' "Mrs, Tanner told me the first night I came to her that the Wilmots, who were her chief supporters here, objected to my name. She said they urged it was a slight to their employer, Mr. Llndon, that a poor little governess should be called by his name. When I found that this Mr. Lindon lived in Blchester square, and his name waa Eustace, I "Knew it waa my lather, and I was omly too thankful to afreet© the proposal that I should •change one letter of my name, anf be M Mat Leadon. • ••* "When later I heard 'my father's story from Mrs. Grey, and the/cruel wrong he had wrought you and yours, I felt overwhelmed . with shame. Though your sister had urged me to ga and see her, I felt I dared not accept her invitation. I should never have come to the Uplands only she fetched me, and all through my visit I felt as though I were deceiving you all, that if you knew the truth your doors wouiu be closed against me/' Harold took the girl's hand in his and held it close under cover of the darkness. "Do you know what flr3t made my mother take an interest in you? Your likeness to her sister-in-law, Nina Lindon. You must remember she and your mother were close friends for over three years. My father on his death bed told me he believed firmly that my Aunt Nina had never meant to wrong us. He thought either the will had been extorted« from her by undue Influence, or " "Or what?" asked Beryl eagerly. "Oh that she was too lit tcrunderstand its real purport. I suppose you do not remember her? No, you could not; she died before you were four years old." "I do remember her," said Beryl, in a very low voice, "You see, she was the only creature who loved me, so I was not likely to forget. She was very ill, and very unhappy; but, Mr. Dynevor, I can't believe she did what people think. She was too gentle." "It was not a happy marriage," said Harold Dynevor, in a low tone; "from the little we know we always gathered that. My-father -wondered- sometime if she lost heart after your sister's death." "I don't know." Beryl felt bewildered. "You see, I only remember her after." "Do you mean you were away when Lillian died?" "I think I must^ha.ve-heenr'Lshe said,- in a puzzled tone. "I can remember a little cottage, and a Frenchwoman who took care of me. One day a letter came, and she dressed me up in my best, and took me a long railway journey, and then I saw my mother. She was in black, and she cried when she kissed me, and said she would never part with me again while she lived. My bonne went home, and after that I had an English nurse." "And you are Beryl Lindon?" —"Yes.—Will you tell your—mother ly investors. Don't you thf«fc General Craven tvculd consider the speculation?" "He can't His daughter is to be married in the autumn, and he'll want all the ready money he can find." The general, indeed, when sounded on tite subject, took what teemed to Mr. Proctor a very hard view. "You know, Proctor/' the old soldier declared,. "I've no liking for Eustace Lindon, and I'd not mind thwarting him; but X think for any one to enable the Dynevors to remain at'Uplands would be to do them a cruel kindness. It is openly reported Lindon is coming into residence when we leave. It will be far and away better for Mrs. Dynevor and her children not to live, so to say, at his gates. I think it is a blessing in disguise that they will have to goJ" \ "And I don't!" said' tfce lawyer stoutly. "Think of the years the place has been in Mrs. Dynevor's family! Think how hard her son has worked to keep it up! If he leaves Uplands^ Harold goes out into the world penniless." "He'd be sure to get a good berth as land-agent to a nobleman." "Such posts are not so easily picked up. I think you take a very unsympathetic view of the matter, General." "Bother it all," said the old soldier Irritably, "I suppose I had better tell you the truth! I like the Dynevors, -they're the"pleasantest neighbors 1 ever had, I think Harold's a son to be proud of; but, Proctor, I've got only one boy, and I haven't much money to leave him. Alick will have to make his way with very little except his pay. Can't you see I don't want him to marry Kitty Dynevor, a nice girl and a good one, but without a penny to her fortune?" Beryl saw a good deal of the Dynevors in August. Woodlands broke up for the holidays, Mrs. Tanner and the twins went to spend a fortnight near their old home, and Kitty came over with her mother's I >. and Kitty? I am sure they won't betray me." "I am sure of that, too; but I do not mean to tall them. I do nq,t see that what you have confided to me need go any further. If you are the child of our enemy, at least he has treated you no better than he has treated us. I am positive if my mother knew the truth she would only feel more kindly towards you. Come to us when you can; you will always be welcome." They were at Woodlands, and, with a close pressure of the hand, he released her. He found his mother aloue when he got home again. She had been searching among old treasures, and had unearthed an album containing photos of bygone days. It was open at the picture of Mrs. Frank Dynevor as she was when she came home a bride. "I wanted to show it to you, Harold," said his mother, "Just to prove the resem^ance is not all my fancy." He looked at it thoughtfully. "It is a very strong likeness," he said gravely; "but I hope it won't prejudice you and Kitty against that poor little girl. I think if ever a human creature stood in sore need of friends it is Mrs. Tanner's governess." CHAPTER X. Five thousand pounds. The sum seemed to burn itself into Harold Dynevor's brain as the summer ripened. He did not actually know that Mr. Lindon meant to foreclose, but he could not doubt Mr. Proctor's warning. He felt that if five tnousand pounds were not forthcoming before the 25th of December his mother must leave her lifelong home, and he himself go forth into the world a ruined man. He had more than one long conference with the lawyer about raising the money. Mr. Praetor thought a private lender would be the only source whence he could obtain it. He said that at a forced sale the Uplands would fetch very little in excess of the actual sum needed; but he thought any one who knew the property might be Inclined to offer six thousand for it, on the understanding it was to be redeemed. The one thousand could bo paid back at once, the other five remain at Interest. "Only so very few people have cap*. ttal to dlipow oV' he concluded. nand those few seem to AcM clear of land. I am aaklag ineulries a«e»g all likeorders to bring back Beryl for the time of their absence. "You are to be sure to come unless you hav« arUetter engagement." "I have no engagement, and I couldn't ha«re a better one; only shall I not be in your way?" —^We-^want- you, and we mean to have you!" retbrlecT K t t t y z r ^ I t o M i Harold about it, and he said it was a famous idea. I think you fascinated him that night when he saw you looking so forlorn at the railway station, for you are the first visitor we have had to stay in the house for years." ~ Mrs. Dynevor's welcome was almost motherly in its goodness, but if was Harold's greeting which went straight to Beryl's heart.' She happened to be -qinnn fn th9 p^u- parlor when he Came in-, and as he took her hand he said gravely: "Hemember, no one here knows your secret—no one ever will know it from me; .but If they learn it from another source they will be content, as I do, to remember you are Aunt Nina's child, and forget you are Mr. Lindon's daughter." Beryl had been at Uplands just three days when EaBthill was thrown into a commotion. Mr. Lindon, the great man of the neighborhood, had arrived and was putting up at his agent's house while he transacted Tbme business connected with his property. "Will he have the effrontery to call here?" Mrs. Dynevor asked her ton. "I should say not. If he does, sand Kitty in to inierviov? him. She is capable of freezing him if she tries." "I wonder if he has'brought his wife and daughter?" hazarded Mrs. Dynevor. "No." retorted Kitty, who always knew everything. "His,wife is not well, and his daughter is at sc&ool. Perhaps she prefers it to her stepmother's society, but she is the same age as I am, und I should certainly resent being kept at letters." "Poor little thb.g!" said Mrs. Dynevor gently. "I wonder if she is like her mother? What is her name? Did we ever hear?" "It was never mentioned in Aunt Nina's letters," returned Harold. "She always spoke of the children as 'Pet* and 'Baby;' not that she wrote often, poor thing!" Beryl was in the room, and naturally heard these remarks. She almost forgot herself, and contradicted his last words, for she knew that Lillian had never been called "Pet." It was her own name in babyhood, and had not been given up till she went to the Burgesses, wher., by her father's wish, she was always called Beryl. No, Lillian could not have been "Pet." Try as ahe would, the girl could not recall any fond abbreviation of her sister's name. When she was brought home after Lillian's death no one ever spoke of the dead child except her mother, and she always said "your little sister." Mr. Lindon took no notice of Beryl at all. Her mother's maid had returned to England. as she had lately heard, to take service with the family a t Upland*. Lillian's nurse had also left thfr Lindons, but of her movements Beryl knew nothing. • --, (Te be continued.) - " I am so nervous and wretched." "1 feel as if I ihoold fly."

There are many traditions and stotles of escapades at the Military academy at West Point that are handed down from class to class, and one of the most interesting of these is thatfrelating to the billiard table. Shortly after the civil war the cadets, always on the alert for some new scheme for amusement, decided that they would like to have a billiard table and accordingly organized a_ billiard club. A collection was taken up with which to purchase a table, aud a suitable place was sought In which to set it up. Until the present steam heating apparatus was installed in the cadet barracks, about 30 years or more ago, the heating was by means of furnaces. The basement of the sixth division of the barracks was used for coal bins, the bins being so arranged that there was a large one near the center of the building, which could only be reached by passing through one of the others. After_conskiering all available places this coal bin was finally selecfeO as~1)elng the place least-liable to det eet iony for it must be remembered the table was unauthorized. The table was bought in New York and sent to Garrisons, across the river, for there was no West Shore railroad In those days. One cold wiuter night it was hauled by a team of oxen across the river on the ice and up the hill and was safely stowed away in the coal bin before morning. The table was soon set up and became a source of great enjoyment to the cadets. A keg of beer was alwaj's kept on tap, and lamps were hung from the celling, giving the room a cheery appearance. The members of the club used to gather there at all hours of the day and night, when their presence was not. re-' quired elsewhere by their duties, and sit around smoking, drinking and telling stories while two of them played billiards. The authorities soon became aware that there was a billiard table somewhere in the barracks, for they could hear the balls clicking together, but they could not find it. The cadets continued to enjoy the privileges of the billiard club for more than a year. Finally one night soon after midnight, as two officers were returning from a convivial evening at the mess, they saw two cadets, clad in their underclothing and dressing gowns, emerge" from the north sallyport and F e b 13th.

A good hard freeze will do the vegetables packed away good, and if they do not thaw out until dug up for use they will keep well all winter.

CABBAGES AND TURNIPS. Trenching; K e e p s Them In Good Condition Until Sprlns. Burying cabbages and turnips in the ground for winter keeping seems to be the simplest plan yet devised, and if the work is done properly a very small percentage will be lost There Is always the question of uncertain winters to consider, aud this makes the work sometimes more difficult. In fact, if we could gauge beforehand the kind of winter we were to have there would be no trouble in deciding what to do. A cold, dry winter would be welcomed by farmers who make a specialty of these crops, for the turnips and cabbages would keep all right piled up and covered—with—a—41ttle earth. It is the alternate freezing and thawing, the rain and the snows, that provoke trouble. Cabbages not buried deep in the ground would soon rot in a warm, wet season. The best way is the surest way and. as- is- generally—the ease, the most laborious, according to a writer in Country Gentleman, who advises as follows: weather comes agaiu. By using a top mulch in this way one can regulate the temperature of the vegetables very well. When dug out in the spring, the cabbages will be in excellent condition, and they will sell for good priees. When spring opens, the ground should be shaded over the trench and a top mulch put on to keep the frost in, the ground. In this way the vegetables can be kept very late. But as soon as the ground begins to thaw, the cabbages should be dug up and sent to market. Decay will set in very sooi after they have thawed out, and it is useless to attempt to keep them much longer then. In digging up the cabbages in the middle of winter care should be exercised to disturb the others as little as possible.

Instantly the thought of the billiard table flashed through the minds of the two officers, and they started quietly after the cadets. On reaching the basement doorway of the sixth division the two cadets entered, and the officers, arriving a moment later, saw them climb over a pile of coal and enter an open door, through which came sounds of laughter and conversation aud the clicking of balls, while the air was laden with fragrant tobacco smoke. The officers paused for a moment and held a whispered consultation. Finally deciding that they would tell the other officers of their discovery and have all of them come down the following night and enjoy the fun of a raid on the club, they withdrew and went home. Next day all the officers at the post were informed of the discovery, and it was arranged that the raid should occur at midnight. All might have gone well, and the officers might have had their little fun, had it not been that there were three cadets the previous night instead of two. The third had forgotten his pipe and bad gone back for it, while the other two went on and were discovere r , and M r s . E d d C r a n n a of i *d by the officers.

It contains 60 per cent of the population of the state. In10 of these counties the population has decreased during the past 10 years, and in «11 but four of them the in* crease in the cities is balanced by the decrease in the townships and unincorporated villages. The total loss in population in these S8 counties is- 40,- 000L Gains are noticed in Monroe, Berrien, Ottawa and Wayne, and are ascribed to local causes. These figureB apparently show that there has been a migration of people from the farms because of the lock of profit to farming. While .there has been an increase of 15,000 milch cows and of 8,000 cattle otrrer than milch eowsin the last 10 years, there has been a loss of 15,000 horses, 135,000 faogs and 540,000 sheep in the same period. The laud, becoming poorer each year, furnishes subsistence for a less amount of stock. The farmers were urged to make the soil richer by feeding their hay and grain on their farms rather than robbing the soil by adopting methods that deplete i t The The fertility of the farms should be restored.

In 1,1848 a company of publicv v8pirited Bostenlans determined that the Stevens collection of George Washington's books, largely composed of books be- O u B f l f v u V T H 8 S r a s w n 7 should not go to the British Museum, and subscribed enough to secure this part of the ML Vernon library to their city and library. For this reason, Boston can boast of the largest collection of Washington's books gathered in any one place. In the fine explanatory catalogue, which was made possible, by the gener- -eus bequest of f 1,000 from Mr. Thomas Dowse, the entire collection is classified as follows by Mr. Lane: 1 to 239—Books mentioned in the Inventory of Washington's estate, with a few volumes not in inventory, but givof history arid collectors of Washingtonia. It is not sought by the busy man of the street. Ofthe varied and interesting character of the volumes in Washington's library It is difficult to speak In limited space, and opinions differ as to what constitutes interest and value. The bibliomaniac, used to the interminable aud argumentative titles, the italicised and long-sd type aud the quaint diction, will seem quite iconoclastic,doubtless, to the young student, who is just discovering the wealth of information at first hand which lies in these self- , eagre volumes. As political economist, planter, wool grower, agriculturist and fruit grower, the first president of the United States has never been duly presented to the reading public. The introduction of mules Instead of horses in the south for Agricultural work was largely due to Washington's efforts, ably supplemented by the King of Spain. The redemption of peat bogs was studied experimentally. Consequently, many of these books relate to practical subjects of this sort. That Washington's mind anticipated Proof of It! and that New Revelation Cannot Reasonably be Desired and Would Prohabjy be Uns^MtstfuV' by Offspring Blackall, Late Lord: Bishop df Exeter, which tempted the infantile hand of George Washington. His autograph is written twice upon the title page. The names of Robert Wickoff, and Samuel Bowman appear as owners of the book at various times. On the last page and immediately after the collect for the second Sunday in Advent IB the following quaint certificate of ownership evidently written in the hand of Bowman: "This book Lint to me by the owner, he being dead \ believe it mine forever."

But the books are great In Interest, and reveal the many sided Washington unfalteringly and unflinchingly to the gaze of future generations. Every mother and father will think of the great and stalwart Washington with a new tenderness for the little scrawls his childish hands traced on convenient material, mainly on the title pages of his father's books. Tradition does not state whether he ownad up to their defacement as bravely as he did to the cutting down of the cherry tree. But the series of signatures there, one written when he was surely under sine years of age, and the others written when he was IS and 1? years or age, appeal with singular tenacity to the mind,.as do even the lovetarn ditties of bis later boyhood when ht extolled the charms of 'the lowland beauty" in versa.

"Short Discourses upon the Whole Common Prayer," by Thomas Comber, the dean of Durham, was selected by the 13-year-old Washington, upon which to write his own and his mother's name. Against the former his nephew, George C. Washington, has written: "The above is General Washington's autograph written at 13 years of age," and under the latter he writes: "The above name of his mother Is-fn the handwriting of Washington at 13 years of age, as will be seen by comparison with his writings of that date in Spark's work."

Bvery few years sees the legislature of some new state, where commercial fertilizers were only a short time before practically unknown, passing laws in regard to them because tbeir use and the necessity of It was gradually creeping in, Agriculture is conducted at a great disadvantage when tbe conditions become such that commercial fertilizers are necessary, and in the west, if western farmers will but heed the experiences of those farther east, the use of commercial fertilizers can, by proper management, be postponed Indefinitely. If a farm is rich in fertility, the fact should not relieve its owner from the necessity of keeping It so. If the farm seems to be growing poorer. It affords a good reason why its owner should reform his management and bring the land up and make it richer. , It can be done without resort to any of the "ates" and "ashes" that are sold on the market.

The hole should be cut the full size of the Inside of 2, which will be an egg shape, the small end up stream. I also cut the tile on all curves to fit as close as other joints (see 4). A soft tile is not the best tile to cut, and I promptly discard a cracked tile. Select well burned tlle^hat will ring when struck with a hammer. Cut holes near the middle of the tile. In cutting the connecting tile, 2, leave a part of the end full, as shown, instead of cutting it to a thin edge. Except in ( picking a small hole through a tile to | start with the poll of the hammer is l generally used. The edges should be kept sharp. No patent on this hammer, free to all. writes a correspondent to Ohio Farmer, wherein another w,riter l tells of an equally practical tool, a I slush scraper, as follows: ( Where a farmer has a large ditch j running through his farm a slush scraper is Indispensable. This one is made from two inch plank, sides five feet long, with one end patterned for • the scraper and tapered to make suita- j ble handles, as shown in cut. Tbe I scraper box should be four feet wide, two feet from front to rear of box, and one foot in depth. These dimensions will move almost a half yard of mud at each load, and a team will pull it eas Uy. The top and bottom of scraper should be banded with tire iron, which will make it more rigid and wear better. Any blacksmith can make the blade out of an old drag saw blade or suitable piece of fiat steel. This should be bolted and riveted to the box and band Irons of box and made quite sharp to cut well. The eyelets shown In Illustration near the blade are 4o fasten a log chain into. j With "this strraper-one can clean the slush out of a large ditch and work the nonary the append^ ..\nfor.ynvi will, therefore, be fovu'-l ear• reiwly valuable.

Every man's situation and circumstances present a problem that is, in some respects at least, a special one. How a particular farm can best be improved in fertility is a subject re=. qulrlug special Investigation and study by the person most interested—namely, the owner. But, concludes Iowa Homestead, the general fact is rme that by the means above suggested 'the' fertility of every farm can be maintained and Improved, and the way fertilizer laws are creeping westward Indicates that for the farmers of those localities that have not yet been reached by them there is no more Important problem than that of maintaining fertility, so that the necessity for these fertilizer laws may never arise in his own state.

Just a s well to stand with both fore and hind feet in the trough. An Ohio Farmer correspondent has figured out the following contrivance for clrcuin* j venting this little trick; the cut exi plains the construction: These troughs should not be made more than 10 or 12 feet long. If made longer, they are inconvenient to handle or move about. The luniberoised should be durable, 1¼ inches thick for one side of the trough and 8 Inches wide; for tbe other, 7 inches; the same width and thickness will do for the end pieces. The trough is V shaped. To each end nail'an upright piece (A) and let it extend above the trough at least a foot. In the upper end of this upright cut a slot an iuch wide and 6 inches deep. Into this fit a six inch fencing plank (B). This will be over the center of the trough, lengthwise, and six Inches from tbe top of the trough. The partitions (P) on each side of the trough should be about nine inches apart. O n e trouble will be noted In regard to this trough. It is not so convenient to fill with feed or slop as an open one.

A. Nelson of Wyoming classifies the forage areas of that state in three divisions— mountnin, hill and plain. The two former areas, being well drained/1 are reasonably free from alkali. The latter area Is divided Into normal plains and alkali plains. The native plants of the alkali plains are found to have a greater or less value for forage. Tbe salt sages arc found to be the most suitable for the Wyoming lands. Winter fat (related to tbe salt sages), Indian millet slender wheat grass and alkali meadow grass are found on the alkali plains and ave of value as forage.

It is estimated that two-thirds of the people are without sufficient food or the means ot obtaining it. The weather is bitterly cold, and this adds to the misery of starvation. The Chinese plenipotentiaries, Prince Chins; and Li Hung* Chang, had a protracted meeting on the 5th with the foreign, envoys. Twelve names of prominent Chinese officials were submitted with the requests that China keep faith with the powers and punish the persons named commensurately Ntith their offenses. The Chinese plenipotentiaries replied that China's earnest hope was to carry out fully the demands of the powers and that she felt sure the punishment which would be inflicted would be satisfactory. It was discovered that two out of 12 of the persons named were already dead. Patent* Granted In 1000. The report of the commissioner of patents for 1900 shows that during the year there were received 39,073 applications for patents, 2,2*35 applications for designs, 82 applications for reissues, 2,099 applications for registration of trade marks, 943 applications for registration of labels, and 127 applications for registration of prints. There were 26,418 patents granted, including designs, 81 patents reissued, 1,721 trade marks registered and 737 labels and 93 prints. The number of parents that expired was 21,196. The number of allowed applications that were forfeited for nonpayment of the final fees was 4,215. The total expenditures wore 81,260,019.

The electrical illuminations of the exposition will be achieved in connection with the Electric Ttower,- the fountains and other hydraulic displays and in the outlining of the different buildings by rows of incandescent lamps. There will be combined water and electric effects and the central figure of the whole setting will, of course, be the Electric Tower* with its most wonderful and beautiful electrical display. The Electricity Building itself has most appropriately been located adjoining the Electric Tower. From its eastern end an excellent opportunity will be afforded for viewing the splendid illuminations of the tower during the night displays. The location of the building is also fortunate in view of the fact that just across the mall, the broad avenue upon the southern side of the Electricity Building, stands the Machinery and aentativt an to charaoi exhauatiye. tn detail/ Bafetaei* o * t * e Th* busy bee will be In bit bastr new at the Pan-American Exposition the coming Bummsr.

It is estimated that there are 300,000 persons engaged in'bee culture in the United States alone and that the present annual value of honey and wax is in excess of $20,600,000. There are 110 societies devoted to the study and promotion of bee keeping. Eight journals are sustained by this industry. Fifteen steam power factories, are producing supplies of various kinds for the use of bee keepers. American honey finds a market in many distant countries, *he United States producing mere honey than any other nation. The bee exhibits at the Pan-American Exposition will be so arranged that the bees may enter their hives from the exterior of the building and carry on their work of honey collection undisturbed by visitors, yet in full view through the glass sides of their hives. The successful management of an apiary requires a knowledge of botany as well as the habits and requirements of the bees themselves. The little iioney bee plays a very important part in the general economy. The failure of fruit crops may be due to the absence of bees whose special function is to fertilize the blossoms by carrying the pollen from stamens to pistil.

After the meeting of the Colorado Academy of Science recently, at which President Regis Chauvenet or tho School of -Mines'delivered-an—address, there was an argument about snakes, says the Denver Republican. It was continued in a desultory way soon after at the state capitol by Curator Will C. Ferril of the Historical societvr and Captain Ceo)} nearer nf fhp war relic department, the men who started it at the meeting on the day previous. Curator Ferril claims that he has proved that a rattlesnake, when pursued, will retreat and go into its h o l e backward.

In the northwest corner of the Electricity Building will probably be located the 5,000 H. P. transformer plant which will transform the Niagara power polyphase current from 11,000 volts to 1,800 volts for distribution about the grounds. Smaller stepdown transformers will be used in several hundred transformer pits about the grounds and in the various buildings, where the current will be reduced from 1,800 volte to 104 volts. At this pressure lights and electric motors* and other appliances will be operated. The progress in the development and application of the various branches of electrical science and industry of recent years makes the exhibit at the Pan-American exposition of the utmost Importance and interest. At the time of the World's Fair at Chicago, electric transportation over street car lines 5 45-] of cities was in lis infancy. In ten years the electric motor in Its application to both transportation and Industry has effected well nigh an industrial revolution. In the electric lighting industry, and in the telephone system there has been great progress during this decade. Wireless telegraphy has come to the front within a few years and is destined to effect still further radical changes in methods of electric communication. Automobiles electrically propelled have come into use. In •JI these fields the Pan-American Exposition Will have electric*! exhibits illustrating this marvelous progress. There will be a collection of historical matter relating to the subject which will show the gradual development of the apparatus used. An especially interesting exhibit will toe that Illustrating the application of electricity to the propulsion of cars and vehicles like the automobile*. Moat persons are mete familiar with the successful operation lions of Cyclists and Autom obi lists of the Americas during the summer of 1901. The automobile exhibit, it is promised, will be the finest ever seen at any exposition. There will also be a large and complete display of bicycles, representing all stages of progress from the heavy and clumsy iron-tired velocipedes to the finest pn£umatic-tired modern machines; including the "good old ordinary" or high wheel bicycle fitted with small solid rubber tires which was first exhibited in this country twenty-five years ago, at Philadelphia. A grand carnival of cycle races will be held in the magnificent Stadium which is now beinjg erected on the Pan- American grounds. This vast arena will be in many respects equal the famous old Colosseum at Rome. Horticulture a t Exposition. Horticultural exhibits at the Pan- American Exposition have a beautiful setting in and about an exceedingly handsome building 220 feet square* The height of the building is 236 feet; to the top of the lantern, and the gsnago he ran across a rattlesnake which slowly went toward its hole. He followed with discretion and a gun.and when the rattler reached its home it went in, according to Mr. Ferril, tail first, so. that it could protect itself if attacked. Mr. Ferril is aware that thi3 statement is contrary to established records, but says that because it has never before been known to the world does not prove that it is not true. Ha will mention this discovery in his biennial report now being compiled. Captain Cecil A. Deane of the war relic department says that hs never $ heard of such a thing. He'claims that the theory Is ridiculous and that it is a well established fact that the rattlers go home head first. In proof of this claim he says that the way in which curio dealers secure rattlers in large numbers for sale is to follow the snakes to their holes and cut clT the r tails as they dive into the holes. Captain Deane says he has pursued this method on various occasions and never saw a rattler even attempt to go into its hole tail first. He asserts that scientific experiments have already demonstrated that a rattler cannot "back up" or "back down" and that Mr. Ferrn *« tieedlessly exciting the scientific world in bringing up a subject which has already been disposed of.

The bill to relieve the supreme court by increasing its membership from fl%e to seven, was put to sleep in the senate on the 6th, after a lively debate. Some contend that It can now only be revived through jtk motion to reconsider the vote by which it was defeated. , Senator Helme, the only Democrat in the senate^ made the motion that put the bill p u t of business, all after the enacting clause being Ordered stricken ont, and the" motion was adopted in committee of the whole on a viva voce vote of 14 t o 2, some of the senators not voting. Only 21 of the 34 senators were present. Rep. Campbell introduced a bill on the 5th providing that all abandoned lands sold by the auditor-general prior to January 1, 1903, must realize at least 60 per cent of the assessed valuation. His purpose is to prevent the sale of land for the amount of taxes _again&l~ exesdo not figure within 50 per cent of the vaJue of the land. He also has another amendment to the general tax law providing that if the owners of land deed it to the university all taxes shall be cancelled. The following bills were passed in the senate on the 0th: To change name of Leon T. Vredenburg to Leon T. Shettler; to authorize Ann Arbor to purchase the water works plant; to authorize Ann Arbor to build a new city hall; to legalize 8100,000 of Bay county bonds; to legalize certain acts of Commissioner of Deeds J. S. Dean, of Schoolcraft county; to amend the charter of the Grand Rapids schools. On motion of Rep. McCall, of Charlotte, a special committee on the 6th escorted Gov. Bliss to the chair, w h o made an appeal to the legislature for •economy, especially in legislating for rstate institutions. He declared against t h e creation of any more state boards and practically urged that bills now -pending to enlarge present boards be mot passed. Rep. Stumpenhusen. has introduced a bill in the interests of justices of the peace, giving- them a fee of 50 cents for each report made on cases where the people is a party to the action, •civil or criminal. At present the justices have to take chances with the board of supervisors to get paid for such work and he thinks that there .should be a stated fee.

It is a tact, well known to most people, that scarlet lever is unusually prevalent in most parts of the state. As a rulp it has assumed tbe lighter forms of tie disease and there have been but few deaths reported. Owing to climatic and other catfses many of the cases~arv» now assuming the mosa severe form and several deaths have been rejkirted from near points dorii the past few days. At a meeting ot the board of health held Tuesday evening^ a resolution was offered and carried, instructing the health officer to use such measures as seemed^necessary and provided by law^tfj restrict »he spread of the dts-- se. This we shall endeavor to do, and in so doing, earnestly ask the cooperation of tbe people. The disease has been so light in form that in many cases parents have not thought it even >•. i necessary to confine their children to tbe house or premises and tbu& the disease is spread. Scarlet Fever. Scarlatina, and Scarlet Rash are sy nomy mous terms and the only distinction is in point of severity. Exposure after the lighter forms is very apt to be followed by fatal sequela, a fact that seems to be little understood. , Teachers in tbe public schools are earnestly requested to report all cases of sore throat or other evidences of scarlet fever occurring among their pupils. Tbe attention of tbe public is especially directed to tbe following section of the compiled laws of Michigan: (4452) SEC. 43. Whenever any householder, hotel keeper, keeper of boarding house, or tenant, shall know, or shall be informed by a physician, or shall have reason to believe that any person in his family, hotel, boarding house, or premises, is taken sick with small pox, cholera, diphtheria, scarlet'' fever, or any other disease dangerous to the public henilh, he shall immediately give notice, in writing, thereof to the health officer of the township, city, or village in Which he resides. Said notice shall state the QRtne of the person sick, name of the disease, if known, the nameof the householder, hotel keeper, keeper of boarding house, or tenant giving the notice, and shall, by street and nnmber, or otherwise, sufficiently designate the house in which he resides or the room in which the sick person may be; and if he shall refuse or willfully neglect immediately to give such notice, he shall be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor, and upon conviction thereof he shall be punished by fine of not exceedfng one hundred dollars and costs of prosecution; or in default of payment thereof, by imprisonment not exceeding ninety days in the county jail, in the discretion of the court: Provided, that such fine or imprisonment shall not be enforced if the physician in attendance has given to the With officer or other officer hereinbefore mentioned an immediate notice of said sick person and true name of the disease, in accordance with the requirements of this section.

The effort of any new»payer to build up a town is practically nullified unless it is hacked up by the business men of the town. A stranger turns from the news columns of a paper to its advertising columns, and if he fails to find there *he business cards of the jnemhanrs and professional firms,* ha oomes to the conclusion that the edi tor is not appreciated, in which case it is a good pla:e to keep clear from. No .town ever grew without the active assistance of its papers. Nor can papers grow, and build up their localities wit lion' tbe assistance of the town Businessman should realize this and remember that in lending support to their bcal paper they not only build up their own business, but are helping to support that which is steadily working for the growth the .whole town. Are Ton Among them? of This is the season of the year when the moils are filled with catalogues and-a thousand other varieties ot advertising matter, soliciting mail orders for goods ot every kind. Before respond nu to the invitation and sending your money out of town spend a little time looking; over the. advertisements earned by the home merchants in your home paper. Ten chances to one yon will find what yon want and at just as low a price. The real live merchant will be bidding for your trade at this time-of the year. .

Twenty Stockbridge citizens have taken it ioto their heads to try- and secure a manufacture for that village Each has subscribed towards a fund for tbe purpose. The legislator or senator who votes for the new fish law is preparing to be beheaded at the next election. Tbe idea that every one-who desires to fish paying a license of $1 is absurd.

Burt can sell fruit and ornamental trees any line he strikes town. . Howell is deep in a law suit with the electric light Co. of that place who claim that the election ordering bonds issued to $uy a municipal lighting plant was illegal.

In a law suit at Howell last weekit developed that contracts to bi binding must be made at a meeting of the school board, not by individual members of the ./beard, each one alone in his own lotr The board must have a meeting and act together. The suit was one to collect for a school chart sold to the board. We are in receipt of the Port Huron Daily Herald and Times in which is a lenghty account of the banquet given by Hon. D. P.

"Mr. Lindon wishes to see you, air." , Kitty Dynevor'B cheeks were crimson, her friend's face turned ashen pale. "I suppose I-must see him," growled the General, "and I can't be rude to him .under his own roof; but I wish, for all that he had stayed away." - The General went downstairs to receive his unwelcome visitor. Kitty Dynevor, who bad not the least desire to meet tb» man she regarded as her natural enemy, promptly declared she and Miss Lindon must be going home, and in a few inutes they were walking swiftly down the avenue. ~ But the butler had ushered Mr. Lin- 4on into the library, which commanded a full view of the carriage ^xir%. He was seated by the open daughter, and she is away from home." Jft>: l&ndon sat otft hie lull twenty mmutegr but his attention wandered totrang*^ and General Qravan felt certain when he rose to go lie was !plasfdog some fresh wrong to the Dyaetwrs, for his face was full of a malignant triumph.

He broke off abruptly fa tft» -Aft iintjy on the search, I have never found a trace of her. The, girl I saw in the distance today is my daughter, Beryl Lindon, and your protegee will have to dispense with her services, for of course I sliail take her home with me." "Of course," echoed Mrs. Wilmot suavely. "And if Mrs. Tanner had only known the truth she would have communicated you with before." Mr. Lindon saw his advantage. "For reasons you will understand, I do not care to seek my daughter at Uplands. Perhaps, as her employer is a protegee of yours, you can write in her name requesting Miss Lindon to return to Woodlands at once. I will meet her there, and no doubt everything can be amicably arranged. Naturally I do not want my private con cerns discussed all over Easthlli, an you and your husband will find It to your advantage to assist me." Mrs. Wilmot was only too willing; but one difficulty lay in her way— how was she to word her letter? The imperious commands she would have laid on her sister's governess could hardly be addressed to Mr. Lindon's heiress. The master of the Manor saw her hesitation.. **You need not enter into particu^, Jars," he explained. *'Jnst write that Mrs. Tanner Lindon, mind—returning to Woodlands tomorrow at 3 o'clock." He slept soundly that night, for it seemed to him' that within twentyfour hours his rebellious would feel obliged by Miss Lendon—not daughter would be safely in his hands. He little guessed the thrilling events even then taking place at Uplands, or how, after many days, his sin had found him out Very soon he would have to admit the truth of the poet's words: Though the mills of God grind slowly, Yet they grind exceeding small. $i •»»«' Oea- CHAPTER XI. While the girls were at the Manor, and Harold was out on the farm, Mrs. Dynevor had a visitor. That was nothing remarkable, for the gentle mistress of the Uplands was popular both with rich and poor. The "county" visited her as frequently as If she had been a peeress, and her humbler neighbors liked to come and tell her their joys aad sorrows, sure that if she could give little help in money her sympathy was never missing. But this particular visitor was utterly unexpected, seeing it was eight years since Mrs. Dynevor had sees her, and nearly seven since the had heard of herv ~ ^ i r you please, ma'am, Mr*. Rau^ som would like to see you. She says you may not rememoer ber married name, but she was Miss Kitty's nurse long ago." "It must be Bridget Gordon," exclaimed Mr* Dynevor, in surprise. "I heard she married very well; but what in the wor!.i can have brought her back to Easthill? Ask her in. please, Dorcas." The years had evidently passed prosperous^ to Mrs. Ransom. She looked aa. though life had gone easily with her. She was a pleasant, kindfaced wCfltan of 40, handsomely though quietly feetsed in black, She had always beat a little above her position, and, aa sEftty said, Mrs. Lindon had treated be? more as an humble companion thin a maid. Kitty did not know that Bridget had been forced to leave her aunt, sorely against her own and bar mistress* wish, and. that ahe had always disliked Eustace Lin- The Rot of Monotony, Nothing in the world charms like variety. Human nature is so constituted that it demands a different phase of affairs almost every day, and the wisest of human beings is the one who recognoizes and caters to this quality in all forms and manners. There is a certain key in the multiplex organ or humanity, however, which loves sameness', and this should be recognized in the seeker after effects of variety. Thus a man who loves change,llke all the others of his kind, will yet chafe and fret under a change which intereferes with his regular habita, and a part of the aforementioned wisdom consists in differentiating the qualities of change so that it may always be a pleasant variety and never an abrupt interruption of comfortable habits. Tne wise woman is she who is never monotonous in herself, her appearance or her household, says the Pittsburg Press. If one can reckon with certainty on the same articles in exactly the same places for a lifetime, boredom is sure to ensue. If one may count on exactly the same menu for certain days in the week ad infinitum, the stomach is apt to rebel and call for some of the spice of life, just as it occasionally demands other, though not less pungent, spices. The girl who wishes to charm and attain that most precious pf pedestals, popularity, cannot afford to scorn the necessary qualification for charm. She must know whether or not the quality is existent with her, and if not, she must cultivate It was said of Cleopatra: "Age cannot dim nor custom stale her infinite variety," and herein we have the whole secret of the Egyptian's wonderful power over human hearts. Now, the truth which underlies all this is a truth, and a worthy one, not built, as most advices of the kind are built, on some apparently flimsy foundation. It is that the mind and heart must not be allowed to stagnate or grow indolent. Interest in the ever changing face of the world's events must be maintained, and then the individual will not sink into that narrow .rut of monotony which is so unlovely, so degrading and so hurtful to all progress and action. MRS. BELVA A. LOCKWOOD, LATE CANDIDATE FOR THE PRESIDENCY Mrs. Belva Lockwood, the eminent barrister, of Washington, D. C£» Is the only woman who has ever been a candidate for the Presidency of the United States. She is the best known woman in America. As the pioneer of her sex in the legal profession, she has gathered fame andT fortune, in a letter to The Peruna Medicine Company, she "/ have used Peruna both tor myself and my mother, Mrm Hannah J* net, now in her 88th year, and I And it an invaluable remedy for coSd, catarrh* hay fever and kindred diseases; also a good tonic for feeble and oU people, or - tboae run down, and with nerves unstrung, "—Belva A, Lockwood. Mn. T. Pelton. Mrs. T. Pelton, 562 St. Anthony avenue, St. Paul, Minn., writes: "Peruna has done wonders for me. It has cured my headache and palpitation of the heart; has built up my whole-system. I cheerfully recommend Peruna to all sufferers afflicted with catarrh. My mother is never Without Peruna. When one is tired and generally out of sorts, if Peruna Is taken it immediately removes that tired feeling." Peruna cures catarrh by removing the cause, inflamed mucous membranes. Dr. Hartman, the compounder of Peruna, once said, in a lecture to women: "A great number of women consult me every year. I often have occasion to say to these patients, 'I fear you have catarrh, madam/ They will generally reply, 'Oh, no, I never had catarrh. My nose is perfectly clear, and my breath ia not bad. I am not troubled w i t h c o u g h i n g o r spitting, or any o t h er disagreea b 1 e symptoms of catarrh.' Bu\ my dear madam, you may have catarrh all the s a m e . Catarrh is not always located in the head. You may hr.ve catarrh of the lungs, or stomach, or liver, or kidneys, a n d especially you may have catarrh of the pelvic organs." T h e d o c t o r went on to say: "I have been preaching this doctrine for the last forty years, but there are a vast multitude of women who havenever heard it yet Catarrh may attack any organ of the body. Women are especially liable to catarrh of tltopelvic organs. There are one hundred] cases of catarrh of tne pelvic organs to one of catarrh of the bead. Most people think, because they have not catarrh of the head, they have not catarrh at all. This ia a great mistake,, and is the cause of many cases of sickness and death." Vn.

Goodnight of Goodnight, Texas, enjoys the distinction of being the only woman in the world who owns a herd of buffaloes. There are 100 in the herd more than half of which are pure bred, the remainder being 'cataloes,' as a cross between a buffalo and a Galloway cow is called," writes E. J. Davison in the February Ladies' Home Journal. "The cataloes have the same hump as the buffaloes, and shaggy hair, but their color varies from jet black to light brown, and they are most readily distipguishedffom the pure bred by their horns, which are longer. The cataloes are also much more tractable and can soon be taught to eat out of one's hand. But the full blood buffaloes—of the Goodnight herd at least—never repose fall confidence in man. Big and powerful as they are, they are timid and run away at the slightest alarm, although they have taken food from their owners hand from the opposite side of a fence; nor will they attack unless wounded or driven into close quarters. Even with this reputation for timidity Mrs. Goodnight does not regard the pure-bred buffaloes at trustworthy, and doea not consider it safe to go among them on foot Mrs. Goodnight also .baa a herd of fifteen elk. In the. great park, two square miles in area, each animal herds with his kind. Even the pureblood buffalo looks with a royal contempt upon hit plebeian half-brotaer, the catalo, and the two keep wide apart ia separate and distinct groups." • • • • • • • • Y O L Ri O K W N E c !

The apple situation has undergone a distinct change since the disastrous gale in the Ural half of Stptembor. Ppto that time it was everywhere conceded that the American apple crop would probably prove the greatest on record, even surpassing that of four years ago. But the exceedingly high winda, a modified form of the West Indian hurricane on the gulf coast swept a dev-. astating path- many miles wide from Texas up and through the Missouri valley and eastward across the lake region and northern states and maritime provinces, disappearing In the Atlantic ocean. The damage to orchard^ in the commercial apple belt was uneven but pronounced. Kansas, Nebraska, Iowa, Wisconsin, Illinois, Michigan/ New York, New England and !$va Scotia all report heavy losses, and in some sections half the winter fruit was blown from the trees. Fortunately that part of the crop remaining may show excellent growth and development under favorable weather conditions the next two or three weeks, making up In part for the loss indicated.

The kaiser asked to be allowed to ride in this vehicle with his royal guests and to participate In this Interesting experience.

The citizens of the Dominion of Canada have just cause to be proud of their; reoord as Um-aityding people. The annual report offtlie qtfminal statistics of the Dominion, which has a population of over «,000,000, shows that ther* were only twenty-five indictments for murder in 1899, of which only two were left without final action. Eleven of those indicted were hanged, nine acquitted and three confined aa insane. Canada Is a country of rast proportions. Its people are scattered over a wide stretch of territory, making police surveillance particularly difficult and in many districts impossible. Yet a city like New York or Chicago alone furnishes a far greater criminal list every year tfcan the whole vast stretch of territory from Quebec to Vancouver. The Canadians ascribe thedr immunity from crime to the promptness with which punishment i s meted out to offenders. When a man is caught red-handed in the act of robbing another he is not released on straw bail by some justice of the peace from the slums, to go out and repeat the offense. Sharp and sure justice is meted out to criminals of all kinds, the result being that when the guardians of the public peace succeed in bringing a thug to the bar they are seldom called upon to hunt him a second time. Furthermore, there are few court delays in Canada when a criminal is brought to book. They have no Dreyer cases over there. There are no meth- -joda—w&ereby Canadian criminals can have the proceedings stayed from •WilLEO-m • * * « " as mm »<(WPtP« mm m ia io Such was the Good fortune of so?

The mhove, taken from the editorial column of the Times-Herald, gives some idea of the Immunity from crime that exists in Canada, and this is one of the many inducements held out for Americans to settle in the district known as Western Canada. The season of 1901 will see a few new sections of the country opened up for settlement. They are attractive in every respect.

That the truth is far stranger than fiction has been demonstrated in Escanaba by Joseph E. Reinger inheriting $180,000 with several years' interest from an uncle who recently died in Spain. The remarkable part of the story is the romance connected with it which is as follows: Mr. Reinger's father came to this country several years ago from Brussels, Belgium, leaving behind a younger sister and his parents. Some time after Mr. Reinger had settled in America he received a letter from his sister announcing her marriage to a young Spanish officer by the name of Lantigo Fenoll, w h o was at the time an attache of the Spanish legation in Brussels. A few months after the marriage Fenoll was promoted to a responsible position in Valencia, Spain, and moved there with his wife. After that Mr. Reinger ceased to hear from them. Last December a letter was received from Mr. Fenoll, telling of his great success in Cuba and how he had amassed great wealth by deserting the Spanish cause and joining the Cubans; that he was again free from military life and was going back to Spain for his wife and daughter. On arriving in the country he had deserted he was shocked to learn of the death of his wife; was discovered by a Spanish spy and sentenced to 38 years in prison. In prison he was befriended by the prison—priest^ by whose aid he was enabled to mail the letter, which closed by requesting some aid to escape the terrible punishment he was being put to. Feb. 5 word was received that Mr. Fenoll was dead, and a copy of the will which leaves to his nephew 8180,000 with the interest, and giving him' the care of his daughter. The prison priest, Fr. Pedro, with his young charge, is now en route tor Escanaba, where the young lady will doubtless make her future home. Mine Statistics. The labor commissioner has collected interesting information from the managers of the 31 coal mines of Michigan which were in operation Dec 1 last. The average number of mines in operation during the year was 35, and the average number of persons employed in all the mines was 1,038, the average for each mine being A3. The average, number of hours per day worked by employes was 7.7, and the average number of days worked per month was 21.5. The average daily wage paid was S2.34. The miners used 11),- 006 gallons of. oil during the year, which is an average of 51 gallons per month to each mine. Twenty mines used 36,553 kegs, of powder, an average of 149 kegs per month for each mine. The aggregate tons of coal mined number 843,476, an average of 70,290 tons for each mine or an average of 2,267 tons per month for each mine.

( (Special l e t t e r . ) Photographer John B, Valln of Onset B a y thinks h e has solved the problem o f aerial navigation. Mr. Valla Is not t h e only man who has entertained that idea. There have been scores of others, none of whom have lived to see their theories blossom into facts. Mr. Yalin's f4aa possesses at least the virtue of novelty. He claims that a ©crew, or "worm," propeller may be utilized for propulsion through the ether, as it 1* commonly used in the denser element, water. The, application of man-power by a hand and foot lever in the car of his Ingenious outfit, to the balloon of ''worm" form is another striking feature. This is designed to apply by transmitting the power by aid of a rope, or,-preferably, a light linked steel chain, from the car to the balloon with a ratchet and spring at the point of contact. This force is then expended by revolving the balloon, which screws Its way forward through t i n air. Hydrogen gaa is utilized to sustain the outfit i n . t h e air and to raise it. This is designed for use because of its great lifting power, although i t is rather expensive. Hot air cannot readily be used, because It would compel making the balloon very large, unwTeldly and to work at a disadvantage. With hydrogen gas long flights can be made and the utility of the airship greajtly enhanced. — M r . Valln, in deVribirig from his model the ratchet and spring application to the axis of the balloon, says: "It will be very greatly to the advantage, you will see, to employ ball bearings, which will save all possible loss of power in transmission, yet there will: be a portion of loss of power then which it is impossible to overcome through friction.

Pearson, the sheritt of Cumberland county, Me., is a man of strong individuality. He is a reformed drunkard, and in his early days reached a level of degradation from which since his conversion to abstinence he has done much to rescue others. He was probably the first man in M-tinp tn vntn thp strn^-ht pmhihitiun ticket. He voted It, indeed, if it be not paradoxical to say so, before there was a prohibition ticket in the field, by writing Neal Dow's name on a slip of paper. One of the election officers held it up and said: "This is Sam Pearson's vote; we'll count it scattering." And young Pearson answered with spirit: "We'll scatter it till the rum shops of Maine are closed.'' Mr. Pearson served with distinction in the civil war. After the war he settled in Portland. In 1S72 he began his gospel mission work, and since that date he has he}d 8,229 services, conducted 357 funerals and 229 marriage ceremonies and, wrtlTMrs. Pearson, has made 15,- 347 visits to the poor. In England he secured over 100,000 pledges to temperance. He is an indefatigable worker and a man of tremendous energy. ~ Wew CSiSJttfntn*~diietpMMs» Big commercial schemes are afoot in the Dominion of Canada.
