Mr. B. believes that if you sell gjods you must let people know that you have them lor sale. As the years go by it is pleasing to note that more farmers write letters on printed letter heads and have their cards on their envelopes. It was once thought that no one could do this unless he was engaged in the production of some specialt}' or breeding some pure blood farm stock. No one believes that, now.

Addlee* Casasaaek, the Ex-Wall Street ISTTptei a s ' l«e»vs» Bto Tirt. .so HI* Two Children—Sold His Seat for 018,000. Addison Cammack, who s few years ago was oat of the ablest and most' successful operators that Wall street ever knew, died the other day, after a long illness. In 1897, early in February, Mr. Cammack sold his seat on the stock exchange, which he had held' since March 10, 1875, and retired from. business. The purchaser was Henry I., Dittman of Lacard Brothers, and the price was $18,000. Mr. Cammack was called the "great pessimist" of the street He was noted' for being a pricker of South Sea bubbles. He held that there were too many railroads and too much water in stocks, and he reaped wealth out of the wreck of industries into which hopeful and empire-building pioneer capitalists put their money. Many men have grown rich in Wall street. The Vanderbilts and the Goulds incidentally made fortunes there as the result of their real operations in business. But few men cleared fortunes on pure speculation like the harvests reaped by Mr. Cammack. He did not create hew wealth with his winnings. He merely gather*! In existing wealth by taking advantage of human errors in real speculation and by always taking the "bear" side of the market The great pessimist began to be known in Wall street when in 1870 he formed a partnership with Charles J. Oeborn under the firm name of Osborn & Cammack. This was a brokerage firm, but in 1875 Mr. Cammack withdrew apd never did a broker's business ADDISON CAMMACK. again. His operations were all confined to absolute speeulation. He was often associated with William H. Vanderbilt and Jay Gould in their operations, and he was a close personal friend of the former railway magnate. It was Cammack who, in 1883, brought about the collapse in Northern Pacific stock. He loved the excitement of the market to the last. When he retired four years ago he did so. under pressure from his wife, who insisted that he had had enough of the game. He did not marry until he was 59 years old, but at that time he did not. look more than 40. His was a wonderful vitality, and the way he held his age was the wonder of the ".street," where his youthful appearance and his real age were a proverb among the young men. Mrs. Cammack was a Miss Hildreth of Washington. The dead speculator leaves two children, both boys, one of whom Is 14 and the other 11. On his wedding day he presented his wife with $1,060,000 in first-class securities. Mr. Cammack was born at Hopkinsville, Ky: His parents were very poor, and he drifted to New Orleans as a youth and there became a clerk. He was afterward a cotton speculator in London* and a wholesale liquor dealer in New York. He lived at 46 West Fifty-seventh street and had a country home at Tuxedo. • > . * . A Town Crier's Warning. During the early pan of the week, wires a correspondent, the town crier of Tewkesbury, in his quaint uniform, made a tour of the town, crying the following announcement: Oyez! Ores! Oyes! Please to take notice that on and after this date any pro-Boers found larking in the streets of this loyal •and ancient borough will be taken to the xroas and duly tarred and feathered. By •order. Qod save the queen. This notice soon brought together the youthful population, who followed the bellman through the streets until they numbered about 200, hurrahing and singing the national anthem. The crowd then visited the residence of one who is tuposed to have pro-Boer sympathies and made a demonstration, but nothing more serious than shouting was indulged in. Later a pig's head, which had evidently been used aa a target /or Innumerable bullets, was sent In a basket to the same person.— From the London Leader. A Seabed* for too Grip*..„'.' .

T r i g PICKLES T g & ~ , A pewver sTealth Departs**** Bootes* Method of Ptegaosta* Mams*. Tbere has recently been an epidemic of mumps among the school children of the city, says the Denver Republican. According to the rules of the health department a child may not return to school until he has fully recovered. Every afternoon has brought to the health department fifteen or twenty youngsters, some with swollen cheeks and some without It is the duty of the physician in charge of the office to examine these applicants for clean bills of health and see if any trace of the infection remains. But the force of the health department Is small, and sometimes there is no doctor in the office for an hour at a time. This works a hardship on mothers waiting with their children, and Dr. Carlin yesterday bethought himself of the magic touchstone by which Miss Mollis Currlganr guardian of the outer office, might herself test the applicants. "Pickles are the thing/' said Dr. Carlin. "If a person with the slightest trace of inflammation in the thyroid glands takes a bite of anything sharply sour, the face is instantly contorted. In extreme casei the pain is extreme." So a bottle of mixed pickles was added to the pharmacopoeia of the office. Now, when there is no doctor in the office, Miss Currigan lines up the applicants for certificates and goes down the lines with the bottle of pickles. If the child takes the pickle and smiles as a healthy child snould, he may go back to school again; but if he scowls in pain, then he is condemned to stay at home. + J " — r — ~ — - • J ^\v Xlfliatrasn t,#t«h H * * I .

FBASHK U •JTOBBWS, Publishes* < PINCKNEY, T * ^ MICHIGAN, Ail elephant has only eight teeth— Jtmt> below - a n i t w o s b o v e o a e a c h side. At the age of fourteen an elephant loses its first set, and a new set grows. <+m The idea seems to be gaining ground that consumption should be known as such. The Philadelphia board, of health at a recent meeting discussed compulsory registration of consumptives, and inclined to its favor in the belief that it will tend, to check the disease. A nobleman in Madrid, after spending hie fortune and getting deeply into «%«*>«, lost his wife. His friends advised him to marry a rich bride, but to the dismay of his creditors, he married a poor women. When asked why he did so, he answered, "For revenge. To make my rascally creditors rave." Senator Spooner's suggestion that a congressional commission be sent to the Philippine islands to investigate conditions there possess obvious merit. It is difficult for congress t o legislate "for the needs of a country which few of its members have ever seen, and concerning which the reports are so conflicting as they are regarding the Philippines. A fruit dealer in Paris advertised his Willingness to give a prize of five francs for the biggest apple sent to him. In a fortnight he had received enough big apples to stock his store for a season, and, like ah honest man, he awarded five francs for the biggest one. The others didn't cost him a sou, and the free advertising brought to him a rush of business. A remarkable, cafe has been dlseov- |ered in St. Joseph, Mo. N. Schellinger, an electrician of that city, filled a cat with electricity, and in a few minutes the animal was as rigid and lifeless, as a marble cat. Two hours later the electrician reversed the current, and this treatment reanimated the appar*- ently dead animal, and in a few minutes it was as playful and frisky as it ever had been. One hundred and sixty miles an hour is the ©peed aimed at by a new electric railway- company in Germany under the direct patronage of the emperor. Cars with accommodation for fifty persons each are now being built, and will be tried on a 30 kilometer track. It it intended to use electricity only for the express passenger service, as for freight and local traffic steam is expected to remain the power for a long time. In spite of the fact that the experiments made in the American navy with oil as fuel have been entirely unsatisfactory, some of the French and German vessels on the Chinese stations are having complete success with I t The advantages of petroleum, if it can be properly utilized, are very great. At Singapore, for example, coal now costs about $14 a ton, while oil costs hut $& a ton and has a steam raising power 26 per cent greater than that of coal. Bull fighting, Spain's national sport, was supposed to be too strongly entrenched in the spirit and traditions of t h e people ever to become distasteful t o them, but it now appears destined to be swept away before the march of civilisation. At a recent mass-meeting in Barcelona, the scene of many a gory contest between matador and buD, resolutions were passed condemning the sport as cruel and brutalising, and calling upon the government to suppress it throughout the peninsula. The fact attests the power Of the humanising ideas and influences which, slowly, but surely, are transforming the world fcto a better and happier abiding place for man and animal alike. An open letter from Mrs. Isobel Strong, stepdaughter of Robert Louis Stevenson, comes right upon the heels of resolutions which congress has passed against the sale of liquor and firearms to uncivilised peoples. Ever since the Samoan islands came under the influence of the United States, Great Britain and Germany, she says, a n organised effort has been made to keep drunkenness o u t The native rulers have shared this effort But since the Islands were divided and TutuHa allotted to the United States, a license, has b e e s issued for a saloon in Pago Pago, our harbor there, and the saloon Is under construction. Mrs. Strong calls attention to the matter 'because she believes the people of the United States may not know what is being done, and ought t o know. She says, with Justice, that to participate in the international efforts to stop the sale of liquor among native tribes in Central .Africa, and to fail to stop it when athe./power is all in our own hands, would be a sham affectation of decency.

Citizens of Grand Ledge are divided on the effect of the announcement that railroads will run no more Sunday excursion trains. The papers see the finish of the town as a resort and do not know whether to attribute the cause to a stricken conscience on the part of the railroad officials or to the fact that it is a loss of so mueh cash by so doing.

"You :kn*w ei d& ttnfe of Mrsl Undon'a *de»vU»*oTiy among others, neVef doubt- ^ed the legality of the will." ~ "I can't, express myself well, .ma'am," aaid Bridget Ransom; "but At I tell my story my own waV perhaps .you'll understand. When you and Mr. 'Dynevor engaged me as nurse to Miss Kitty you made one stipulation—that I was not to be talking continually of Mrs. Lindon. You said the subject was a very painful one, and you did / t o t want to discuss it." "We both felt it a mistake to dwell on It," agreed Mrs. Dynevor. "And eo I never told you what my poor lady suffered," returned Bridget "Care for her? Eustace Lindon cared for no one but himself and the baby. He was so jealous of his wife's affection for her firstborn that as soon as hie own child was born he sent little Miss Lillian away to the country. She was brought up in a French peasant's cottage, and the parting almost broke her mother's heart." "But, Bridget," persisted Mrs. Dyne- •vor, "why tell me all this now? It i s too late to help either my poor sister- in-law or her child." "Please hear me out," said Mrs. Ransom. "I might have written home, And told you and Miss Lillian's uncle, •only Mrs. Lindon begged me not The fact was her husband hated Miss Lillian, and she thought the poor child happier anywhere away from him." "Did he care for his own child?" "Yes; but she was a sickly little thing, and with none of her mother's beauty. She had an English nurserather a flighty young woman, whom my mistress hated. When Mr, Lindon suddenly declared they couldn't afford t6 keep me and Julia, she begged and prayed for him to let me be the one to stay, and I humbled myself to ask him, too. I said I'd do ait my own work and look after the child as well; but it was of no use. I went, Julia stayed/' *> Mrs. Dynevor coul<r*not see the thread of these recollections, but she listened patiently. "A year or two after I left you, ma'am, I met Julia again. She wasn't in service then, but she seemed to have plenty of money, and she told me Mr. Lindon allowed her 50 pounds a year for the sake of all she had done for the child. "I thought it was the most generous thing I'd ever heard of turn; but I didn't come all*thls way to tell you of this, rm a widow now, and I've a nice little lodging house at Brighton. I took a partner lately, and she turns •out to have been housekeeper to Mr. Lindon for ten years; and, Mrs. Dyn- •eror/aha says the woman he has married is the Julia who was fellow-servant with me in France. Mrs. Dynevor looked bewildered. "Now, with all his faults, he was a .gentleman," went on Mrs. Ransom, "and Jnlta Maunders was a common, uneducated woman, who could never be companion to him. Mrs. Markham, my partner, told me she had actually been in his house as attendant to his daughter, that she gave way to drink, and, when not quite herself, actually Struck Mlsa Lindon.—Now, ma'am, a .gentleman doesn't marry a vulgar, uneducated woman of forty, who, besides, is given to drink, without some reason. Mrs. Markham and I have talked the matter over and over again, and we believe there's something wrong about the will, and Julia knew it." At that moment Harold Dynevor <came in. He would have gone away on seeing his mother was not alone; but she detained him, and in a tew words gave him the heads of Mrs. -v Ransom's story. "I can't see how the -will could be a fraud,",he answered, "and yet everything points to i t Lindon dlsmisaing the attendant who was true to his wife, and keeping the one who could l>e bribed, points to fraud; but, mother, I don't see what we are to do." Neither did'Mrs. 'Dynevor; but their 'visitor now proceeded to relate the 4M8t part of her story. "Mrs. Markham told me a good deal •of her young lady, Beryl Lindon, and J'm ready to swear she la not the child I left in Julia's care when I was sent away. There must be plenty of people left in the French village who remembe* little Beryl. She was so puny and backward for a long time the doctor feared she was an idiot She had light hair, almost white and perfectly straight, and big, watery blue eyes— the sort of eyes you see oftenest in idiots. At three yearn old she could hardly walk..' No one but her father could see anything to admire in her. "According to Mrs. Markham, Beryl Lindon has very dark ayes, blue-grey, ^nd almost Mask tubes, and curly brown,hair. I can't think even fifteen years would make such a change." Mrs. Dynevor looked from her son to Mrs. Ransom. * "I am sure you both see something —some explanation; but, I cannot." "Mother," said Harold hoarsely; "forgive me! I have kept a secret from you. The girl you know as Beryl Lendon is really Aunt Nina's daughter. She came to Eaathill to escape from her father and his second wife. An accident gave me the key to her secret She wanted never to come here again because she was our enemy's, daughter; but I told her we would be content to think of her only as her mother's child." "She is Nina's image," breathed Mrs. Dynevor; "but even then " "I have no proof," said Harold, "any. more than Mrs. Ransom; but I believe we both think the same, and to me it is a strong conviction. I believe that when he saw his own child's state was hopeless, Lindon conceived a desperate scheme. He would send away the only person likely to betray him, he would bribe the nurse into silence, his wife was so ill a few months would end n«r life, and she would never know his deception. As soon as Bridget left we know he removed his family to another part of France. Within a month we hea/d of Lillian's death; but I believe the child buried as Uncle Frank's daughter was really Beryl Lindon." "You mean he changed the children?" Harold nodded. . "But it would be impossible! How coula he pass off a child of seven for a baby of three?" "We don't know that he did. He placed the little girl in the care of a country doctor some time after her mother's death; but there is no telling what age he gave her. Mother, don't you see this explains so much? Aunt Nina never guessed his hateful plot. She died believing it was her own child, Lillian Dynevor, who would grow up heiress of the Manor. She could have had very little to leave, that little she naturally bequeathed to her husband. The phrase 'all my real and personal nroperty' was no doubt his choice. If Lillian had been alive he would have inherited only a little ready money, in spite of that highsounding phrase; with Lillian dead, he took everything." "It would be the blackest sin I ever heard of!" breathed Mrs. Dynevor. Bridget Ransom nodded her head. "But he did it, ma'am. Why you've only to ask his housekeeper, or the young lady herself, to hear he had no love or affection for the poor girl he called his daughter. He treated her with open indifference, if not neglect Now the little child I left in France he simply worshipped!" "Mother," said Harold, "here come tne girls. You won't let Beryl think she is less welcome because you know her secret?" Beryl and Kitty looked from one to the other of the little group, bewildered. It was Mrs. Dynevor who spoke, and to Beryl. "My dear," she said gently, "Mrs. Ransom has come here chiefly to see you. She has heard a great deal of yau from a Mrs. Markham, and oo I have learned your real name and the link between us." "And can you forgive me for being my father's daughter?" "Your fathsr, unless we all mistake, was my brother-in-law, Frank Dynevor. My dear, Mrs. Ransom lived with your mother for years. She is ready to swear that you are not and cannot be, Beryl Lindon; we think you are my niece, Lillian." "She is her mother's image," said Mrs. Ransom; "and, though it is not a compliment to say so, she looks older than eighteen. Twenty-two at Christmas would be Miss Lillian's age." The girl who had so long thought herself Beryl Lindon burst into tears. "Then it was not a dream that I had played in the deserted nursery at the Manor, that I had had a frock like the one in the picture, and 'Pet' was my own name after all!" Mrs. Ransom accepted the hospitality of Uplands for the night, and a telegram to Marton brought Mr. Proctor to the farm before the family had finished breakfast . "I should play a game of bluff," he counselled, "and tell Mr. Lindon you have discovered his fraud. Most probably he'll give in and confess everything; otherwise, you'll have to go first to Ponta-neufs, and see the doctor who attended the real Beryl Lindon; then on to S t Jacent, where ahe is reported to have died, and get a description of the child onried in her name. If the two gentlemen are still practicing in the same townships the task would be easy enough; if they have moved on, and have to be traced, u might Uju * iong |ime; therefore, as I say, I advise a game of bluff." Mrs. Tanner's supposed letter had come by that morning's post; but that also brought another from the gentle widow herself, saying she was persuaded to prolong her stay another week. Mrs. Dynevor would, she knew, be pleased to keep Miss Lindon, so she hoped the change of plan would be agreeable to every one. "Depend upon it," said Harold, "the second letter came from Mrs. Wilmot, and was written at Mr. Lindoa's request He must have caught a glimpse of you yesterday at the Manor, and this is a ruse to get you into his hands." "Must I go?" she asked anxiously. "No," said Mr. Proctor; "but Harold Dynevor, who Is, I believe, your next-of-kin, will, keep the appointment at Woodlands in your stead. I shall accompany him as his legal adviser, and Mrs. Ransom will come, too, to speak to her recollections of the real Beryl Lindon." Mr. Lindon had waited a good ten minutes when the bell at Woodlands rang loudly. Another moment and he was confronted by the man he most feared and disliked, and the woman he recognized as his wife's devoted attendant. "So you are 'Mrs. Tanner,* and the note asking her governess to return was a forgery?" said Mr. Proctor. "Sir," said Lindon haughtily, "I deny your right to interfere in my domestic concerns. I have come to Easthill to find my daughter, and remove her from the society of my enemies!" Then Mr. Proctor spoke. He was so positive of Harold's suspicions being correct he felt justified in assuming facts. "Your daughter is not in England, Mr. Lindon," he said curtly. "We have recently discovered your fraud. She is buried at St. Jacent in Brittany, under the name of her halfsister. Lillian Dynevor is still alive, and the lawful owner of all you have so long usurped. As she came of age last December, you cannot even claim the role of her guardian." "It is false!" cried the wretched man. "I " "Xou married Julia Maunders to make her hold her tongue," struck in Mrs. Ransom; "but you forgot me Mr. Lindon. Ah! overruling Provi dence threw your late housekeeper in my way* and when we had exchanged our opinions about you we knew pretty well the truth of the matter." "I defy you to prove It!" Harold Dynevor interposed. "As Lillian's next-of-kin, I am here with power to act for her. Mr. Lindon, you can make your choice: Sign a full confession of your fraud, disgorge your ill-gotten gains and leave England, when you wia receive an annuity of 500 pounds a year, or defy us. You may hold your own for two or three months, until we find the doctor who attended your child; but you will then be prosecuted with the utmost rigor of the law, and the result will probably be penal servitude for life." Like all bullies, Eustace Lindon was a coward. Mr. Proctor's plan had answered, and he saw that he was beaten. Better far accept his freedom and an annuity sufficient to keep him than end his days in a convict prison. The trio left him, carrying away his signed confession, and with the understanding that a representative of Mr. Proctor would take possession of the house in Elchester square in the name of Lillian Dynevor, and that he gave up all the moneys of his stepdanghtpr whir»h hp hafl appropriated, within a month. And when they told Lillian—how strange and unfamiliar the name sounded—of her good fortune she astonished them all by bursting into tears, and declaring she would rather remain Mrs. Tanner's governess than return to Dynevor Manor as its mistress. But that of course was impossible. (To be Continued.) H l u e d HU Calling. A young insurance man received a* introduction to some good people a few days ago in a manner which he will not soon forget. The friend who did the honors was somewhat of a wag, but was one of those quiet, sober, polished men whom one meets occasionally. Upon this occasion he was as grave and dignified as a church deacon, and seemingly perfectly sincere. He said: "I would like to make y w acquainted with Mr. B—. I can recommend him to your good graces, having known both him and his family for years. Hia father Is one of the best men I know, and their family Is an old one. There is only one thing I might say. Mr. B. is an Insurance man and I have always insisted that any one who could tell as good a lie as he can ought either to be a piano tuner or a lightning rod agent"—Cleveland Leader. Pearson—I'd like to know who sent me this abusive letter. I'll bet it was that crank next door. Mrs, Pearson —I dont think so, John. It must have been some one who knows you much batter than be does. Capt Jones, of the 8th-infantry, was arrested at a town on the bay J n tss province of Lagans, Florehttso Ortana sod Miguel Ponce de Leon, agents of Tsbacaleria Co., and Wis. Webb, Pedro Lorenso and Viotorisoo 8sntsas, employed by the Philippine Trading Co., on charges similar to those brought against D. W. Carman, the American contractor, namely furnishing the insurgents with supplies, Tabacaleria Co., theriehest corporation in the Philippines, is accused of aiding the insurgent* often and extensively. The parties arrested are prominent persons and the evidence against them is very strong. The special committee appointed by the Cuban constitutional convention to draw up a proposition denning the future relations between the republic of Cuba and the U. S. was in conference all day on the 18th with the other members of the convention in an endeavor to get the opinion o/ the majority as to what action should be taken regarding the .suggestions offered by Gov.-Gen. Wood recently. The question of naval stations is still the chief subject of controversy. Col. Schuyler, with 160 men of the 42d regiment on the gunboat Pasco, landed on the Cavite coast near Ternate, and proceeding inland captured a small rebel garrison. Continuing his march along a mountain trail, Col. Schuyler was attacked by rebels of Trias' command. After a sharp fight the enemy was beaten and scattered. One American was killed and one was wounded. The U. S. Philippine commission decided on the 18th after a conference that it would not be wise to postpone the organization of provincial government in the province of Tarlac. As the first step in the work of organization the commission determined to appoint au American as governor of the province, the selection falling upon Capt Wallis O. Clark; of the 12th U. S. infantry. The U. S. transport Rosecrans has returned to Manila from the island of Guam, after landing there the Filipino prisoners who have be^n transported to that place. The prisoners were landed Jan. 12. They occupy an excellent prison site, four miles from Agana, The prison is called The Presidio. It is situated on an ascent and strict discipline is maintained. The Women's Peace league met at Judge Taft'b house in Manila on the 19th, and passed resolutions to the effect that they intended to unite the Americans aud Filipinos in the efforts to promote loyalty and hasten peace. Lieut. Low, with a detachment of the 1st cavalry, recently overtook 20Q insurgents near Batangas. After a stubborn fight the enemy was driven into the mountains. Lieut. Mapes, of the 32d regiment, recently captured five rebel officers, 20 men and 18 guns, nine miles from Manila. The 37th infantry, U. S. V., was mustered out of service at the Preside, near San Francisco, on the 20th. The provincial officers of the provinces of Tarlac, Pangasinan and Pam* panga have been inaugurated. Gen. McArthurs reception at Malacan an exceeded anything in the Spanish regime. Have Signed the Document. The Cuba constitution first submitted by the central committee to the convention at the public session of Jan. 21, was signed on the 21st. One copy was sent to Gov.-Gen. Wood and the other placed among the records of the convention. The president and vice-presidciits signed first and the delegates followed in the order of their seats on the iloor of the convention, the two secretaries signing last. Senor Cisneros created a sensation by refusing to sign. He said: "Cuba is now independent, arad I can see no reason for sending this constitution to the U. S. for acceptance. The U. S. government has no right to pass on it, for it is a distinctly Cuban document and was drawn up by this convention which has assumed the responsibility of establishing the republic/' «a*n is* Years a s * ' • It stems to be a fact, proved by a|» moat daily observation now, that the deer art returning to Connecticut, and in goon numbers, too. Reports are heard almost daily of one or more ot these graceful animals being sees in one or another part of the good old state, under circumstances which fig it that they are new arrivals. There at* probably more deer in Connecticut today than at any previous time with* in the last 150 rears, says the Hart* ford Times. They are seen on railroad tracks in fields and gardens and even feeding with the domestic cattle. Where they all come from and what is drawinc them here seem not to be very clear. They are not only seen in meat unexpected places, but appear to be singularly free from fear of human beings. They are seen, too, in nearly all parts of the state. A few days ago a young lady down the river below MIddletown succeeded In photographr ing one of them by a snap shot. At almost any time within the last- lull years down to 1*00 if a hunter wished to shcot a deer he made a long trip to find his game—going either to the Adinndacks or the far backwoods or Meine. Their appearance in such numbers might be accounted for by th» disappearance of the wolves that formerly destroyed them; but the wolves have been gone in almost all parts of New England, for a long time, and their disappearance cannot now be felled upon $o account for the deer. Whatever may turn out to be the cause of their sudden and rapid increase in numbers here. in old Connecticut, it is a pleasant thing to Bee them returning to this neighborhood. Whr.t a pleasant addition to the neighborhood of our forest patches their graceful presence would make if their seeming trust in human kind is permitted to take root and 3tay. A WISE DRUGGIST. ^Vor SS.PO He Guar*ntc«« t o J>o T h a i for Which n Ladr Offers HlmSlOO. Kansas City, Mo., Feb. 25, 190L— (Special.)—Some two ycara ago a local druggist engaged in a transaction which was in its details somewhat remarkable. He was Ylsited by M si Anna P. Nichols, who had a doctor's prescription for rheumatism, which the druggist was filling. In the course of conversation the good lady sa d: "l would give one hundred dollars to g:t well." He immediately replied: "Give ms five dollars and I will guarantee to cure you." She agreed, and he at once handed her a box of Dodd's Kidney P lis, saying: "They are 50c a box. Two b xes may cure you, but I am quite sure that ten will." Miss Nichols tells the story as follows: "Dodd's Kidney Pil.s are veritable life preservers. I was troubled for five years with Rheumatism, so that at times my right arm seamed paralyzed and I could only walk with difficulty, and could not go out cf doors If the air was damp or cold. I took so much medicine that I think my system was poisoned rather than helped. One day when my druggi3t was putting up a prescription for me I remarked to him that I would give one hundred dollars for a remedy t&at would make me better." " 'Give me five dollars and I will guarantee to cure you,' ho said. I readily agreed and he handed me a box of Dodd's Kidney Pills, spying, 'They are 50c a box.

H FOBBNOOK SESSION. The meeting was called tb order by president D. M. Beck with and after organizing ^ . R. Smith gave a report of the state round-up a t Lansing which *vas interesting and was well received. . In discussing the late county institute the question of Garden Farming was discussed and while some criticized t h e speaker most thought it very appropriate. Pres. Beckwith thought that the influence of the farmer's clubs had much to do with the slicking up farm yards, fences etc. AFTERNOON SESSION. While waiting for the regular speaker, this session was opened by asking a few questions, Will sowing refuse salt on wheat in the spring kill the insects and save the wheat? Pies. Beckwith £aid that he knew ot cases where salt bad kiig^d the insect, also thought lime Aim plaster helped. R. R. Smith t&ougjii if the iusect was in the wheat]? nothing would save the crop, bad no fagA In pasturing, the insect was* to dtjjep to be reached by sheep pasturing or salt. Mr. Kellogg thought that it Iwould be ot benefit if those who advocated a remedy would tell what it did — whether it killed the insect or made the ground better so that new stooU of wheat was the result. A. Al. Wells thought unless we did find something to do away with the insect we should .L^eace consequently t h e difficulty in t^knowing what each needs to propigate it the best No one can form any rate for everyone as one form or farmer may do well with one while another would make a failure. A mixture will generally work better for they require the different properites that are in the soil. Had experimented on a square rod of each of the grasses with a yield as follows in pounds and hundredthsj- Tall oat grass, 16 50 31.50 36.87 50.83 53.13 53.25 5491 57.50 86.75 Orchard grass, Slender wheat grass, Fowl meadow grass, Tall meadow rescue, Red clover, Timothy, . Mammoth clover, A mixture of all above. I t will be seen by the above that a mixture, on the same ground produced a much better yield than any one singly. He would sow 12 pounds of timothy seed and 15 of red clover per acre, if mixed J of each. Well cured timothy or clover seed should grow after boing kept 5 years. No crop is needed to protect glasses while growing, they will do better when some alone. The association closed at a little after tour o'clock with everyone pleased with the meeting. There is perhaps one fault and that is that they are too slow in getting together, and the speakers should as a rule be prompt. The meeting adjourned to meet the first Saturday in August.

It has come to he recognized.by almost everybody as the Lest possible spring medicine to take, and hundreds of thousands of our people use it during the trying spring months, to tone up anew the relaxed nerves and re-invigorate and enrich the blood. A spring medicine is a necessity if one wishes to keep in perfect health and vigor during the changes from winter to summer. This grand spring ionic, this perfect spring medicine. Dr. -Greene's Nervura b*ood, and nerve, remedy, is exactly what the system needs at this season, it not only purities, but makes rich, red blood; it not only strengthens and invigorates tne nervous system, but re-energizas And revitalizes the nerves by feeding them with renewed nerve torce and power. It is not only an aid to digestion, but It creates a regular, natural a n d healthy action of the bowel3, liver, kidneys, which in the spring are always sluggish and inactive. In fact, it is just what people need t o make them well and keep them well during these months, s o threatening to the healthy of all, and ,when It is considered that Dr. Greene's Nervurarf dissolve, •biood and nerve remedy is made entirely from pure, health-giving vegetable remedies, and that people give i t more testimonials of cure than any other remedy on earth, no one can •doubt that it i s the very best spring remedy for everybody to use. Mr. Gustave Lelbach, of 837 First St., Jersey City, N. 3., says: "I was troubled with sick headaches, ^ind could not sleep on account of the pains in my head. I was suffering night and day with dyspepsia, could •not eat anything, my stomach would sour so. I had to starve myself to have any case. I had to give up work at last, I w a s so nervous and miserable, and I, was falling away in flesh s o that my friends hardly knew me. I tried .several remedies, but without avail. At last someone recommended Dr. • Greene's Nervura blood and ne. ve remedy. I tried one bottle and began to improve. I started in to eat all right; then I picked up my health; my headaches disappeared;, and my weakness -and sour stomach went away. I used three bottles and couid sleep all night with ease; I used six bottles and felt like a new man. I can now do a hard tlay's work without any trouble, and I am as happy as a bird in spring. I was , s o miserable, always suffering, always i n pain,but now I am like a new man." Use Dr. Greene's Nervura blood and nerve remedy this spring, for it Is the discovery and prescription of a wellknown physician, Dr. Greene, of 35 W. 14th St. New York City, who is responsible for its beneficial action, und who can be consulted free of v< hargc, personally or by letter. -— WITH T H E S A G E S . __ "Feeling in the young precedes phll- •oso|phy^ a n d oiteiL w t s j w ^ t h a more certain aim.—W.

L IKfei A TERRIBLE CYCLONB grip bacillus has passed over our country, from the Atlantic to the Pacific, leaving behind it a dark cloud of anguish and despair. Catarrh follows grip as effect follows cause. A multitude of catarrh victims vrlll spring up in the trail of the awful epidemic of grip that has just passed over our fair country. The hope to these people is Pernna. Most people know this already. Everyone who has had the least touch of grip, should not fall t o take a course of treatment with Peruna. Peruna eradicates every vestige of the disease and leaves the system in a normal condition. Hon, Joseph B. Crowley, Congressman from Illinois, writes from the National Hotel, Washington, D.

After my child was born, blood poison set in, which left me with granulated inflammation of the womb and congested ovaries. I had suffered from suppressed and painful menstruation from a girl. The doctors told mo the ovaries would have to be removed. I took treatment two years to escape an operation, but still remained in miserable health in both body and mind, expecting to part with my reason with each coming month. After using one bottle of the Compound, I became entirely rid of the trouble in my head. I continued to use your remedies until cured. " The last nine months have been passed in Perfect good health.

Ilia mother saw that she was on the wrong tack, so sht1 censed to tease him and^ent them out again shamefully marred by his cruel claws. Would you blame the mothers of town, wl^en thp men did not have' backbone" enough, if they went with clubs arid knives and destroyed the best building in the town, that had given up to him by some greedy miser who cftrod-moreJqr money than for boys, as his den? Do not forget that that is the •.! status of the liquor saloon in Kanlicensed liquor saloon has clouded the mind, and debased the heart, and deadened the affections of ihe husband anrT_fa ther. And at last, aftei twenty five years of toil and devotion, bearing and enduring such horrors as only a drunkard's wife and the tlie merciful God injbeayen'isan know, she is turned out to face old age, a poor broken and wrecked piece of hu^ manity. "What do you think such a women's feelings are about the liquor saloon? Do you wonder that she hates it? Oh, my God, no! I have n:> wonder of that sort, my only wonder is that there is a saloon left standing in America. John Brown was left to stand alone so far as influential forces were concerned, very much as is Mrs. Nation. The leading political newspapers in the . country repudiated him and called him a fool; the great politicians declared he was a fanatic or worse; most of the preachers and the churches denounced him; very few of the most rabid anti-slavery men dared to utter an outspoken word in his favor.

Third, the superabundance of alkali usually present. Wheat does best in soil that is alkaline rather than acid In reaction, but an excess of uikall becomes rery injurious. Different cereals are able t o withstand different y'Aiounts proportionally of alkali.in lMJ aoll. Barley and rye soein to tolerate a larger proportion than wheat, and the latte* will usually tolerate a larger amount than oats. Of all the cereals barley will withstand the largest amount The wheats of this district are almost always white grained, soft and extremely starchy and lack greatly in gluten content The straw is so white and clean and glistening that it is dazaling^ o the eyes in the hot sunshine. Bast on wheat is seldom injurious and in some localities is entirely unknown. Smut, however, is often present to a considerable extent. The stiffness of the straw and the absence of rain prevent the grain from ever lodging, So that harvesting may be delayed for weeks with little or no injury to the_ grain. ] "Manifestly.the greatest need of this district i s a n increase in the gluten sonteuts of the grain* While the introduction of hard grained nitrogenous sorts from other sections is at^ first an improvement, the gluten content cannot thus be materially and permanently increased.

"Your peers are too busy telling fairy tales to bartenders on this muggy morning to come out to help the ends of Justice. The dollar they'd get for jury service would make them die of heart disease."

T h e l a m e n e s s I had suffered with for s o long is near-, ly all gone. It is not a quarter a s had a s it was.

Woodlands was a school no longer. Mra.' Tanner lived at the Manor as •chaperon to Miss Dynevor; and Lillian, thoughtful In all things, had insisted on purchasing an annuity of two hundred a year for her friend, so that, as she put it, if she did not live long Mrs. Tanner need not open a school again. Mrs. Dynevor and Kitty were often at the Manor, and loved Lillian even better than they had loved Miss London; but Harold never went there, < and when he met his cousin at Uplands treated her with a cold reserve tnat almost broke her heart. "Your brother was kinder to me when I was a poor little governess," she said to Kitty. And that damsel, then on the eve of her wedding, lectured Harold pretty sharp'.y on his manner to her favorite. "You don't understand," he said coldly. -"LUiun Is rich, we are poor, and that makes a gulf between us." "But It need not," Kitty persisted. Lillian and the twins .were her bridesmaids when the June day came that made her Mrs. Alick Craven; and somehow, when the happy pair had driven off, Harold found himself * alone in the garden with the chief bridesmaid. • "It went off very well," he remarked, "I never saw Kitty look better." "foo. I think they will be very happy," she said quietly. "I suppose yours will be the next wedding in the family, Lillian? It is high time you chose a prince consort for the Manor." ''Only that I am not going to do anything of the sort," she answered. "I thought I heard Mrs. Tanner say something about changes at the Manor." '•Yes; but they need not mean matrimony." She hesitated. "You were so kind to me in the old days, when ilrst I came to Kasthill, that I would like to tell you my plans. I am quite sure I am not fit to be a great lady, and I shoula like to feel that my life was of use to some one, so I am going to London to be trained as a hospital nurse." Lillian!" "And as my life will be spent among sick folk, you see, I shall never want t'. the Manor; and—you are the last of the. Dynevors—you would make me very happy, Harold, \,t you would go back to the old home which was to have been yours, which would have been yours if I had never been born." "LiHian, you know it is impossible!^ "I know you have shunned the Manor lately; but if it was your own?" "I have only shunned it because something it contained was growing all too dear to me. Lillian, did you ever guess my secret—that I loved you with all my heart, and but for the gulf between our fortunes I should have asked you to be my wife?" "And I thought you hated me because I was my mother's daughter." "I love you dearly; I have loved you. ever since the old days, when I thought you were only a penniless little teacher." "I wish I had been," she answered wistfully. "I don't think money has brought me much happiness. But ^ Harold, when I go to the hospital you must take the Manor; the dear old place can't be left desolate." And then Harold Dynevor's love conquered his pride. He took LillUm in his arms, and whispered that he would only take the gift with the Siver. „ And now Dynevor Manor is a happy home, and children who bear the old name make merry in the nursery Mrs. Craven had been" afraid to use. The End. A ro:0100:00.00:00o0.0.0.0.0 liesson In Astronomy It was the third week of our trip across the plains. We were now Just •ereoty-nve miles from Fremont, and expected to make it very shortly^ but -on rising I was distasted to And that one of the horses—we had only t w o - was dead lams. His had oast himself l a t h s night I was rubbing the strala- *d tendons when ths processor oame *nd stood bsnWs as* "I don't know," I said shortly. "Hand me that oil." "What is a near estimate?" he in- «mred, with a touch of mild irritation. "Surely in these days of scientific exactitude so slight a matter as the length of a horse's lameness may be computed with reasonable accuracy." "I Just wish you'd try it, then," I said, sulkily. "He may be ready tomorrow— we may have to wait two weeks—unless you want to ride the mare in. I don't mind walking." "And leave my specimens to the mercy of any Yahoo that happens along?. My dear Curtis, I could not think of it! Since there's only you and I we can make oursel¾es very comfortable. But I do hope the creature will be all right in a short tlme.^ I am anxious to be in Fremoat to study the collision of the comet with my colleague there." "Collision of the comet!" I repeated straightening up. There's nothing* so tiresome as rubbing a sprain." "Certainly! That brilliant comet to which I have called your attention for several nights, will surely collide with the earth, in a few days at farthest. The phenomenon will prove a rare and wonderful one, though astronomers have often expected such an occurrence, Unfortunately, something always seemed to interfere." "May the interference continue," I said, laughing. "I dont believe this old world will be smashed up yet awhile." "I did not say it would be smashed," returned the professor with some dignity. "The most advanced theorists agree in saying that the comet itself is now only in a gaseous form, and that now only in a gaseous form, and that " "Hallowell." I interrupted, "go and make the coffee. We can discuss gaseous comets while we eat." Three days passed, and the black was no better. As miseries never come single, his mate, a pretty mare, having the undue curiosity of hsr sex, experimented with a tempting weed, and was in a very serious condition when I found her. I dosed her with several remedies, getting little he'p from the professor. He was so busy watching a cloud that lay along the horizon that I was tempted to smash his telescope in order to bring him down to mundane affairs. Having done what i could for the poor mare, I came back to the wagon. "I don't believe she'll pull through," I said savagely. The professor squinted one eye up a little tighter. "Amazing!" he murmured. "It travels with scarcely the sped of a locomotive. I marvel the velocity is no greater—doubtless the earth's gravity exercises a controlling influence at present." Then, in a different tone, "Curtis, there's a buffalo calf coming toward us., I suppose you would not be interested if I told you of the Arrival of something really important." I took the glass out of his hand. "It's not a calf, Hallowell. It's a man—riding like the deuce. What do you reckon is the matter?'' Hallowell was from the east and was not used to southern localisms. It is impossible to reckon anythingoa so slight a basis." he answered seriously— then made a wild dive at something that floated by. When he turned to me there was a shining bubble in his hand. "The comet!" he shouted. "The collision has occurred." "Do you call that thing a comet?" I asked contemptuously. "I might say to you with Fe3tus—'Much learning hath made the mad.' " "It is a detached fragment from th3 main body of the gas," he replied, dancing triumphantly around. "The comet as a whole is that faint cloud you see yonder." "The deuce it is." I said anxiously. "We shall smother or be blown away. I remember you said something about its traveling like a train." "Not .blown away," corrected the professor. "We can take refuge in the hole by that hemlock yonder. As to our chance of smothering, I wonder you can mention such a trifle in the face of material of such overwhelming scientific interest. I think—" We were interrupted by a cry from the advancing horseman. I saw that he was using whip and spur on his mount, and that the latter instead of responding was evidently played out Indeed, as he reached us, the poor brute went down. His rider staggered up before I could lend my assistance. "For God'a sake let me have a horse!" he exclalmsd/entreatlngly. "I am on my way from X—, to Fremont, with a pardon for my brother.

He mads a rush for ths horses to satisfy himself, and came back with a gesture of despair that went to my heart. ~ "LboST^Xe- crTedT^w1IdTy7:~rriJWlnr out an envelope. "There's a life in that paper—and I have ridden—ridden —and met with one hindrance after another!" The professor looked at him pityingly. "How limited are the capabilities of the body compared with the desires of the spirit," he murmured. "I cannot bear it!" cried the stranger, frantically. "They told me that was a good horse—the liars!" He flung himself on the ground and hard, dry sobs shook his chest, The professor picked up the glass. "In less than an hour It will b3 here," he said thoughtfully. "Thank God I am not a scientist," I said rudely. "You fellows have about as much feeling as the dry bones you study." The professor ignored me, and shook the prostrate man. "Get up," he said, commandlngly, a new note in his voice. "Do as I tell you, and your brother may be saved yet." The man rose. We both utared at Hallowell. I wondered if he had really gone crazy. "Take the tongue off the wagon," he said curtly, "and spread the cover and all the cloth you can find on the ground near me." For a moment I hesitated; then It dimly occurred to me that even a bookworm might have original ideas, and I said sotto voce to thje newcomer— "Do as he says; he's by no means as big a fool as he looks." I rather think Hallowell overheard me, for he shot a distinctly ungrateful glance in my* direction, but he could say nothing, as we were both now zealously obeying him. He made us cut the great cloth cover in two large sails, and these we fastened on the wagon under his orders. "Surely—surely," I gasped, "you don't think that you can make that cloud of gas help us? Why, it's fading away!" "It is not fading," said the professor, brusquely, "it seems much fainter because you are so near it and because of the action of the sun on it. Do as I tell you—there's no time to lose." When he was satisfied he made us scramble into the wagon and we sat there, waiting for—what? Three apparently sane men in a horseless wagon, waiting for a sky motor which momentarily grew fainter! When ten minutes passed by outraged dignity asserted itself. "I won't be made a fool of," I said, angrily, and started to leave the wagon. Hallowell pushed me back on my seat. Then I became aware of a sickening odor—rflr fresh breeze on my back— a pale mist around us shot with brilliant hues, and lo! we were running over the plain at a rate that threatened to "wreck the wagon—our sails swelled out like two great wings. My hair was rapidly assuming a vertical position, but the two faces near me showed utter unconsciousness of danger. That of the stranger was burning with joy and reverent thankfulness. To him It was a God-sent miracle for a good.man's rescue 9 * SS -Theprofessor was radiant over this new factor in his knowledge and he muttered his observations aloud. Neither seemed disturbed by the fact that from the speed and the smell.breathing was no easy matter. As to me—my one hope was that I might touch o'.d earth again-safely. On, on we flew. Again and again I expected an immediate smashup, bf!t our wagon was of flue and strong make, the plain was level, and we bade fair tp reach the town shortly. In loss than two hours we were not three miles from Fremont! Then a terrible idea flashed on me which I had been too hurried to think of before. We should pass the town! Like the brook, we might go on forever— or at least far enough to wreck us on the broken lands beyond. As to the stranger, the trip would have been of no earthly use to him. "V'l shall Jump," he said simply, as if in answer to an outspoken inquiry. The professor was looking anxious but he said nothing. But we had forgotten the little river lying near the town. We struck It like a cyclone, and Its four feet of water was whipped into wild spray around us, while the wagon spun like a frantic top, then stopped with a lurch that nearly sent us flying. Either the force of our motor was lessening or perhaps, even at its best, it would not have had Urns or strength to loosen the wagon from the heavy snag driven between ths spokes, for ths pals gas rushed on, leaving three dripping man and some rates* spselmsirs In ths river, wUX I t s s s o t no; 3M yards sway. cvs$* AND gmuy*w*uaMra Upon * M | » WUlifun 4 > Tafti Bjow pwsidoof of t*» tyiUppias. oommJssion, will fill the somewhat uoeertaia honor of being the first governor to rale over ths entire Philippine archipelago in the name of tbe United States.

After a discussion of several hours on the 35th, the constitutional convention wdopted an article defining the proposed relations, namely, that Cuba would not make treaties with any country which would endanger tbe sovereignty of the republic or allow the island to be made a base of war operations against the United States or any other country. The last four words, *'or any other 'country," were added after a warm debate. The advocates of the clause maintained that Cuba should rem tin neutral, as a war carried on in the island would only result in the ruin of its agricultural in* terests, which had already suffered greatly and had not yet fully recovered. Lieut West, with a detachment of the crew of the gunboat Laguna de Bay, attacked 200 insurgents under Caballos, near Vacinta, province of Laguna. After a fight of 40 minutes the insurgents were dispersed, losing 6 killed and 14 captured. A detachment of the 47th volunteer infantry encountered a body of insurgents in the province of Amboy, killing 18, and subsequently another body, killing 9. The Americans had no casualties. A tqaad of the 18ih U. S. infantry surprised a band of Ladrones, at Moosln, Island of Panay, killing 0 and capturing 5 rifles. Gen. Gomez visited Gov.-Gen. Wood on the 26th, and assured him that the stories of unrest and dissatisfaction at the continuance of the U. S. intervention were false and that he had been misrepresented in statements to the effect that he favored an immediate withdrawal of the U. S^ troops and giving Cuba absolute independence. If they withdrew now he feared* bloodshed. Beyond doubt, within GO days" the Cubans would be fighting among themselves. Capt Lowe, with a detachment of the 2Uh regiment, has captured a ladrone camp in the mountains of Nueva Ecija and killed the leader, the notorious Angel "Miranda Lieut Lewis, with a detachment of the 3d infantry, has had five skirmishes with the insur gents in the P.inpunga swamps.

The sky wai dark and lowering; the wind swept down from the hills with a mournful, walling sound, and beneath the tall trees, that beat before the gale, lay heaps of faded yellow leaves, trodden out of all shape and beauty by the feet that ware continually traversing the harrow village paths. Upon the hills, and out on the broad CONGRESSMAN MEEKISON. OF OHIO, a, David Meekison 1B well known, lungs perfect, digestion dpi? in his own State, but through- ; America. He began his political ' by serving four consecutive as Mayor of the town in which he> lives, during whioh time he became widely known as the founder of the Hoetdson Bank of Napoleon, Ohio. He whs elected to the Fifty-fifth Congress by a very large majority, and is the acknowledged leader of his party in his ; section <tf the State. tfpLy one' flaw marred the otherwise . complete success of this rising statesman. Catarrh with its insidious approach and tenacious grasp, was his only unconquered foe. For thirty yean;, he waged unsuccessful warfare against this personal enemy. At last Pe-ru-na came to the rescue, and he dictated the following letter to Dr. Rartinan as the result: "I nave used several bottles of Peruana and feel greatly benefited thereby trace my catarrh of the head. I feel > encoaraged to believe that if I use it : a abort time longer I will be able to ttttUy eradicate the disease of thirty year*' standing. Yours truly, *David Meekison.»* * ifasy people can tolerate alight catarrhal affections, A little hoarseness, * slight cough, a cold in the head, or a triding derangement of the digestive organ*, do not much disturb the average person in his business. But this is not tnie of-the public speaker or stage artist. His vol&e must always be clear. I Ohio. Miss Carrie Thomas undisturbed. Hence the popularity of Pe-ru-na among the leading actors and actresses of this country. They have come to regard Pe-ru-na as indispensable to their success. Their profession is so exacting that it req u i r e s perfect health in every particular. They regard Pe-ru^-na as their friend and safeguard. Many letters are received from this class of people. Miss Carrie Thomas, in Speaking of Pe-ru-na, says: "1 have used Pe-ru-na with splendid results. Would not be without it. No money would hire me re have a settled cold or chronic cough, or hoarseness. Catarrh is the most dreadful thing that could happen to one of my profession. Pe-ru-na is my shield and protector against this most undesirable disease." -Alarrie Thomas.

Banley, lying far inland, was one of those primitive little places where the sound of the railway whistle had never come. There was a branch line, it is true, some twelve miles away, but few of its passengers ever found their way across the hills, and few of the inhabitants of Banley had seen the station, or tested the capabilities of the wondrous iron horse. Those who had done so, having returned in safety, became oracles among their neighbors, as people of deep experience, and one word of theirs outweighed a score from others, who had not seen the world." The village, like most of the kind, consisted pf a straggling street of cottages, with gay flower-gardens in front and an enclosure or Kitchen, vegetables and a few fruit trees, at the back. There was a church and a parsonage, II: is true, but the vicar was non-resident, being more deeply interested in the conversion of Irish Catholics than ia the religious state of English Pro testants, albeit they were of his own tiockv Consequently the vicarage was shut up, and a consumptive curate with a sickly wife and a family of seven children, living in a cottage at the Tipper end of the village, keeping UP an' pearances—by means known- only tq curates and their wives on the pltifn salary of one hundred pounds-- a year. Anxious and careworn enough the pair often looked, but they loved each other dearly, and were* beloved! by every one around, EO it may be that their fate was not a hard one, after a*Y The curate and hfs wife*,, poor though they might be, were the> only people in the village who could properely be designated "gentlefolks." The Lord of the Manor was non-resident, the Manor House itself being anything but a desirable home. If aH was true tnat was told of tne sights and sounds tuat nad been seen and heard there at different times by different people the poor man was very wise in not coming to look after his property ingorsonv Hollow Ash Hall was a1 haunted house. It stood at some distance* from- the village, upon a green and fertile eminence, shut out from the common approach, though not from common view, by a high stone wall and a lofty pate of iron gates. There were a. porteVh lodge, untenanted, of course; and! a small cottage within the ground*, which had once been occupied by saase humble dependent of the family, in the day when that family was numerous and happy, and strongly united ep the thousand sweet tiea that bind a loving heart to home. Seen from the public road, the Hall was simply a square, brlck>froc*** English mansion, of the ordinary type, comfortably and conveniently built, with stables, green houses,, gardens and conservatories, enough.to satisfy all the requirements of modern polite society: The yew trees at the hack, and the long, bare lawn inVftaeat, gave it a melancholy appearance?, trat no one would have dreamed' off calling it a haunted house had they not aeen told that it had an undoubted: right to the name. There was not eveaia hollow ash tree in view, to account for its unusable title. But the villagers, when questioned upon the subject, would look wiBe, and lead yoa to the top of a narrow, damp lane, where grew a solitary tree, that had been touched by the scathing finger of the lightning on its mission of destruction and death. That was "Hollow Ash," and that was the "Burnt Ash Lane;" down which lane, as a sort of "short cut" to the scene of their uncanny; revels, it may be, strange flgareav were said to flit ae soon aa the clock from the neighboring church had tolled the hour of twelve. Not only one ghost.haunted the place -there were at least three or four; Ad their names were more familiar to tha penene who owned the manor than 0 any curious stranger who sought to pry Uto its accrete. But i t must have been a bold man or woman who would have dared to ask a Ver- "wearing their hearts upon' their sleeve*." And ir'there was' onV subject upon which they wart more silent and reserved than another, it wai that of the haunted manor. They left it; they could not bear to* talk of tt; and so the mystery grew by fencing upon itself, till stories were told of the place that would have, man*,the hair of the bravest aad wlstst, listener* stand upon end with horror. * It may easily be Imagined what a highway, the scene was dreary enough. ' commotion Banley was in, one day, .w when the tidings spread abroad that a gentleman direct from London wa3 about to rent the Halt People stared at their neighbors *ad shook their heads. It could not be; unless the newcomers hailed from Colney Hatch or Haawell, he could not, for a moment, be thinking of such> a truing But the news was confirmed in the afternoon by no less a person than the landlord of the "Vernon Arms," who recited to a group of eager and' thirsty listeners his wondrous tale: The family- from London were, at that moment, beneath his roof. So far from being" denizens of a lunatic asylum, they were most respectable people a city banker, his wife and two daughters, who came down for a change of air, and seeing a fine house standing empty, naturally enough concluded that it was to let. So, at the "Vernon Arms," in an after-dinner chat with their host, they managed to ask numerous questions about the mansion on the hill. He answered them truthfully; but he added, with a shake of the head, as expressive as Lord Burleigh's, "He wished, no harm might coine of It," for they laughed at the idea of ghosts, and one of the young ladles begged so hard to live in a real haunted house that her papa had actually sent for the agent. The landlord laughed, drew a long breath, and solaced himself with a great draught of his own al«. At that moment the agent himself was seen descending the stairs; the landlord, hurrying from behind the barr threw the door wide open, with a low bow. But Mr. Grant declined the polfte invitation, beckoned him out into the pasage, and closed the door upon the gaping and 4isappointed rustics* "I want t» speak to yoit a moment, Grimas," he said, impatiently. "Is there MO private place in this house?" "Tose sure>—to fissure, sir/* replied the hovt "Step this waqrP if you pleaaev Becky, nay love, pcay go and mind the bar a little while;.

Grimes, and I want some advice." ' Grimes, who had been busy over the fire with some mysterioaas preparatiCn, which the agent affected not to see, now returned to the table, bearing two steaming tumblers of rum-punch, which he put down wHh an air of triumphant self-satisfaction. "I do believe, the very best I ever made yet, Mr. Grant.**, he observed, as he placed one cosy arm-chair before the fire for his visitor, and ensconced his own plump person comfortably within the depths.of another. "Good it must.be, then, to a dead ceTtainty^, replied' the agent, tttking a long, deliclbufj draught. "Enough to make a man forget one-half hia troubles and snap hia finger at the> scat" "I hope i t wtll make yott forget yours, then, sir," replied the mndload, who was dytag with curiosity to know why he had been summoned? to this particular conference. -, "Ah, a«* sstch luck aa that! t h e trouble tonight is not eaaetly a trouble, after att.

The temples he found invariably facing south, as in Tibet, the home of Buddhism, and in the mosaics at Uitla he found the common eross of Tibet; He also found strong/ racial resemblances in features between the Mexican and California mission Indians end the Japanese. So strong were these resemblance* in features that when a California mission Indian was dressed in Japanese costume and photographed, Prof. John Fyer of the chair of Oriental languages, University of California, declared the photograph was of a Japanese of the northern islands and bore no resemblance to the California Indian. * • * # • >gS - ^ 1 ¾ caused by a eoM and rrwifi mead consumption.

The church says, "The liquor traffic never can be legalized without sin," and then it goes straight on helping to legalize it. The church is not living up to its light. I do noL believe that these glowing prophecies which we hear on every hand of a great and far-reaching revival of religion, which God knows we need badly enough, will come to the Christian Church until she does her. doty in regard to this monster crime of our time. If we did not know better it wonld be different, but God's Word declares4h^- be-^ia4r4tnow^thJiis^Maater's will and doeth lit not, shall be beaten with many stripes." God has not one law for sinners the bloody stain of the Judas money of the liquor traffic. Brothers, sisters, let us live up to our knowledge of this great question. ; Let us live as though it were", in deed and in truth, Gods w6rld and not the devil's.

The Onst of Oceaa. A "dusty" ocean highway sounds almost incredible. Yet those who are familiar with sailing ships know that no matter bow carefully the decks may be washed down in the morning and how little work of any kind may ! done during the day nevertheless If tut* decks are not swept at nightCali an enormous quantity of dust will quickly collect. Of coarse on the modern "liner" tfie burning of hundreds of tons of coal every 24 hours and the myriads of footfalls daily would account for a considerable accumulation of dust, but on a "wind jammer." manned with a dozen hands or less, no such dust producing agencies are nt work. And yet the records of sailing ships show that they collect more sea dust than does a steamer, which IS probably accounted * , . , , for by the fact that while the dust a f e w d a y s a f t e r w a r d s , o n b e i n g ! laden smoke blows clear of the steamer ' t h e large area of canvas spread by the r acta as a dust collector.—Mari- Nlter In Maple Sugar.

C CUiwrtcSolONtA L NOTES* One of the most notable occurrences in the history of congressional legislation marked the closing hours of the t u t session of the senate of the 56th congress, Senator Carter, of Montana, signalized his retirement from the senate after six years of brilliant service, by talking the river and harbor bill to death. He occupied the senate floor for nearly 13 consecutive hours, although in the aggregate about three hours of that time were devoted to other business. The Hay-Pauncefote treaty, intended to replace the Clayton-Bui wer treaty, relative to the construction of isthmian waterways, died at noon on the 4th. The death was caused technically by the fact that the last clause of the treaty allowed only the period of time up to March 4 for its ratification. Neither the government of the United States nor of Great Britain appears to have made any formal effort to extend that period. President McKinley affixed his signature to about 100 bills passed by congress while he was at the capitol on the 4th. The greater portion of them were of a private character. The total appropriations of the 56th congress amounted to $1,440,062,545, •but of this amount 930,000,000 may not be spent. CUBA AND PHILIPPINE &EWS. A dispatch from Manila, dated the 4th, saya Protesio Monte jar, leader of the insurgent forces, on the island of Panay, with several officers, 45 men and 38 rifles, have surrendered to Capt. Barker of the 26th. Fifteen ex-insui"- gent leaders and 500 followers took the oath of allegiance U» the United States at Conception, Island of Panay, and 200 more promise soon to swear fealty. This extinguishes the rebellion in that district 'Four thousand five hundred insurgent prisoners are now held at Manila. The new prison on Grande island, in Subig bay, 00 miles west of Manila, has been completed, and 1,000 prisoners will be sent there from Manila on March 7. The provincial officers of the provinces of Bulacan and Bataan have taken the oath ef office before the commission. A dispatch from Manila, dated the f>Ui, says a wagon train an.l a detachment of the signal corps, together with six Macabcebe scouts, were attacked by the insurgents about midwa3' between the towns of Silang and Dasmarinas in Cavitc province. Three Americans were killed and two of the Macabeebe scouts wounded while one man is missing. Four horses and one mule were killed. Capt. Mair, with detachments of infantry and cavalry from Silang arrived at the scene of the surprise too late to intercept the enemy's retreat. The character of some of the meas urea which the commissioners are privately considering indicates their expeo tatiou of the early establishment of the general civil government. Whether President McKinley and Secretary Root are in full accord with them regarding the province of Bataan, with 180 marines, capturing % insurgent officers and 14 men, taking 26 rifles and destroying 14,000 bushels of rice and 104 caraboas. The insurgent colonel, Cristobal, has surrendered at Naic, province of Cavite, with 2 officers and 12 men. He handed over 1% rifles to the Americans. Gen. MacArthur has informed the war department ,of his action in the case of Mariano Dreu, a lieutenantcolonel of insurgents, who was convicted by a military commission at Manila of robbing unoffending natives, and of violations of the laws of war, and sentenced to confinement at hard labor for 15 yean, The 35th D. S. volunteer infantry arrived at Manila on the 3d from the province of Bulacan, an* will probably Mil for ^6me~MuTC^-+*~on the transport Thomas. American troops are scouting for Aguiaaldo, who is supposed to be in hiding on the eastern coast of Luzon. The battalion of the 5tn cavalry stationed, at Fort Myer, Va., will soon leave for San Francisco to embark on the transport Meade for the Philippines. Plans Ball la Fttthotp*.

Monthly Crop BnlleUa. In the Michigan crop report for March, issued by Secretary of State Warnnr on the 8th, the statement is made that the fields of the state have been very generally covered with snow during the past month, and the temperature has been about 10 degrees below normal, making the month one of the coldest Februarys in many years. Only 13 out of a total of 078 correspondents reported that wheat wavinjured during the month from any cause, snow protecting the crop in the state for an average of 3.96 weeks during the month. Live stock throughout, the state is thrifty and in good condition, the average for horses and sheep being 96, cattle 95 and swine 97. Game Warden's Report for February. Game Warden Morse reports that the work of his department for February has been principally in the inland waters relative to alleged violatioas of the fish laws, most of which were for the illegal taking of trout and the spearing of black bass. A total of 88 complaints were investigated, and resulted in the instituting of 38 prosecutions, 11 being for violations of the game laws and 27 for violations of the fish laws. The result was 1G convictions, 1 acquittal, 10 dismissals and 11 cases still pending. Two jail sentences without the alternative of a fine were imposed, and fines of 42 imposed. There were nine seizures of property of the value of 8184. sar. • * r mm X S mocked bjr lee; A dispatch from.

Both babies weighed exactly 12 pounds, and were both born in the same house at precisely the same hour. The fathers are twins, as are also the mothers, and the couples were married a year ago last November, and have lived happily together in the same house ever since. heldsat following ean neminatron: .For justice of Abandoned the Get-Klch-Qalck Plan. For some ypars past the fanners of Wexford and the neighboring counties have gone in for potato raising to the exclusion of everything else, with the result that many of them have now abandoned their farms because of the loss through heavy overproduction and a consequent dead market and inability to sell their crops. The conservative ones are now advocating the abandonment of the gct-rich-quick plau.pf potato raising, and the adoption of a system whereby a few acres of potatoes are planted ever year instead of planting an entire farm with the tubers, to the exclusion of frops that are sometimes more profitable than potatoes. Moit be on a Separate Ballot. Secretary of State Warner announces for the benefit of election commissioners throughout the state that all amendments to the constitution to be voted for at the spring election must be printed on a separate ballot and not at the bottom of the ballot containing the names of candidate & MINOR MICHIGAN MATTERS. Village Village Officers' Association. The State Association of Officers met in Lansing on the nth, but owing to the proximity of the elections in the villages of the state, there was a very light attendance.

Shields, of Howell, and Elmer R. Goldsmith, of Petoskey. The convention was. called to order by Mark Sevens, of Flint* Jn place o( Mayor Perry, of Grand Rapids, who had been invi^d to perform the duties of temporary chairman. After the various committees were appointed the convention took a recess for a couple of hours. Up to this time there had been very little talk as to who would be named for the supreme court justiceship. Apparently only Judge O'Hara, of Benton Harbor, wanted the nomination, but the friends of Judge Adsit were determined that he should have it. Votes were not soliccited, and delegates cast their vote without having pledged themselves to anybody. Considerable talk took place after the above gentlemen had been nominated, and before the ballot was taken, it looked as though the Benton Harbor man had a walk-away, as Judge AdBit had Instructed a delegate not to allow his name to be used. When the vote was taken i t . was fottnd that the Grand Rapids man was the choice of the convention by a good majority. The convention then proceeded to nominate two candidates for regents. Dr. Welsh, of Benton Harbor, was a candidate, but was beaten out by Shields and Goldsmith. A long resolution of regret was adopted at the withdiawal of Chairman Campau, and several Democrats from various parts of the state said many kind things about him. Justin R. Whiting, of St. Clair, being the choice of the convention, will succeed Mr. Campau as chairman of the state committee. The Platform. Sincerely twlicvluj? in the principles of democracy us laid down In the "Declaration ot Independence," the Democratic party of the state of Michigan, in ix nvention assembled, solemnly reasserts its faith in a jrovcrnment by the people direct and its unalterable opposition to another form of government. Events have demonstrated that nil reforms in financial, industrial and commercial nelds are doomed to remain in a state of theory until our governmental machinery has been reformed so that the will of the people and no longer the self interest of u privileged few shall enact the law. As citizens of thiscommonwealth, we deeply deplore that the corrupting influence of those seeking special privileges has suweeded in contaminating our government to such an extent that even the appearance of common decency has been dropped as being superfluous, and we have been confronted with the sad spectacle that the most exalted official in the state openly aided and abetted the thieves appointed by him and cast uaperution on a court accused of meting out punishment for factional hatred under the guise of Justice. We remind our fellow citizens that corruption in our legislative halls has become so apparent that a grand jury found it necessary to Indict not only some of the members, but also, the speaker of the house of representatives, and though the evidence against them was convincing, they all so far have escaped trial. We remind the electors of the commonwealth that a few individuals, who found their way into the senate, were enabled in protecting "vested rights" of wealthy corporations to defy the outspoken^ will of the people, and that "equal taxation" is nothing bnt a theory today: and we repeat our warning that unless the people obtain a direct control over the law which governs them, tnsfr welfare and the perpetuity of their remainlnjrfreG institutions must inevitably suffer until all of liberty be lost. In view of this impending crisis, we call upon our Tellow citizens to set aside, as we do. all pr ecniecft oWOTtfirnltarwtth ns- fo~ the- ©ne--<te— mand that the constitution of the state of Michigan be amended so as to provide thut a reasonable number of people, say ft per cent of qualified- voters on statutory law, or 10 per cent on constitutional amendments, by tiling a petition with the proper official, may demand that the matter petitioned for, shall be submitted to a voir, nt t.hft pnnpln fnr iirlnpi.tnn nr rgfopHfln; ftt the next election.

ON VERGE OF INSANITY. Mrs. E. A. Deacon Tells of » Case W h i r * • Lady Wa« fa ThU Serloua Condition, bttt «••• Saved. East Randolph, N. Y., March 11.— (Special.)—Mrs. E. A. Deacon of this town Is Vice-President of the local Women's Christian Temperance Union. She is a lady of splendid capabilities, and these she has always directed towards the uplifting of humanity. What Mrs. Deacon says is accepted in Bast Randolph without question. No one has ever doubted her truthfulness or honesty of purpose. Mrs. Deacon says: "My attention was first called to the remarkable curative value of Dodd's Kidney Pills, through the cure of a literary lady who was a friend of mine, and who from mental overwork was on the verge of insanity. After the failure of her physician to help her, her hue band was advised to have her try Dodd's Kidney Pills, which she did with gratifying results. She used five boxes before she was completely cured, but at the end of two months' treatment, she was her own happy, brilliant self once more. "Feeling languid and worn out myself, I thought they would perhaps be a help to me, and T^m^eyy^Iad^Tb^say that two boxes made a new woman of me. I feel ten years younger, am in the very best of health, and appreciats that it was entirely through the use of Dodd's Kidney Pills. I give them highest Indorsement." , These cases are becoming very common in Cattaraugus County, and many ladies have had experiences similar to those of Mrs. Deacon and her friend. What Dodd's Kidney Pills have done for these suffering women, they will do for anyone who gives them a fair trial. They are 50c. a box, six boxes for $2.50. Buy them from your local druggist if you can. If he cannot supply you, send to the Dodd's Medicine Co., Buffalo. N.

The nations of the world, great and small, paid their tribute to the president in attendance at the ceremonies at the capitol and in reviewing the great parade.

It Is commonly known to the medical fraternity that the numerous ailments and complications which follow the grip are apt to be more serious than the acute stage of the dfurate,r_ v Some people have the grip very lightly. They may be confined to the house only a day or two and yet a long train of disagreeable, disabling symptoms follow. All sorts of tonics and stimulating remedies have been devised to meet this condition. None of them can compare In results with Peruna. Every one who has had the grip ought to take a short course of Peruna. Read what the following people have to say about It Washington, Feb. 4, 18&9. The Peruna Medicine Co.,Columbus, 0.: Gentlemen—«"I Congressman Howard. am very much relieved. I feel that my cure will he perma? nent. I have also taken it for la grippe, and take pleasure in recommen d i n g Peruna as an excellent remedy to all fellow sufferers."— M. W. Howard. Congressman Howard's home address is Fort Payne, Ala. Grin Produces Catarrh. Henry Distln, the , Inventor and maker of all the band instruments for the Henry Distln Mfg. Co., at Williamsport, Pa., writes: 1441 South Ninth Street, Philadelphia, Pa., May 6, 1899. Dr. S. B. Hartman, Dear Sir:—"I •wrice to inform you that I had a had attack of la grippe last December which lasted more than three months and which left me with catarrh, when several of my friends advised me to try your wonderful medicine,- Peruna. I began with a bottle the first week in March and it certainly did me a great deal of good. * I was so well satisfied that I purchased another bottle and followed your directions, which you furnish with every bottle, and I am glad to say that it has cured me. I shall certainly recommend the Peruna to all my friends." D. D. Wallace, a charter member of the International Barber's Union writes from 15 Western ave., Minneapolis, Minn. "Following a severe attack of la grippe I fieemed to be affected badly all over. I suffered with a severe backache, indigestion and numerous ills, so I could rieither eat nor sleep, and I thought I would give up my work, which I could not afford to do. "One of my customers who was greatly helped by Peruna advised me to try it, and I procured a bottle the came day. I used it faithfully and felt a marked improvement. During the next two months I took five bottles, and then felt splendid. Now my bead is clear, my nerves are steady, I ^njoy food, and rest well. Peruna has Been worth a dollar a dose to me."— D .

I took three bottles of Peruna w i t h very beneficial results and was able to leave my my bed In a F r a n c e i M. Anderson, week, and regained my usual strength very soon. I have nothing but the highest praise for Peruna and recommend it to thost similarly afflicted wherever I Frances M. Anderson. can."— Grip Poisoned Her Blood. Mrs. T. W. Collins, Treasurer of the Independent Order; of Good Templars of Everett, Wash., writes: "After having a severe attack of la grippe I continued in a feeble condition even after the doctor called me cured. My blood seemed poisoned. "I also suffered with dyspepsia, and had either to starve or suffer from what I was eating. A neighbor who was using Peruna praised it so highly that she induced me to try It; and I soon found this was what I really needed. "I could soon eat my regular meals with relish, my system was built up, my health returned,, and I have remained in excellent strength and vigor now for over two years."—Mrs. T. W. Collins. Miss Alice Dressier, of 1313 N. Bryant ave., Minneapolis, Minn., writes as follows concerning Peruna: "Last spring I suffered from la grippe and was partially cured, but the bacTaTter-eflects remained through the summer and somehow I did not get as strong as I was before. "In the fall I caught cold after getting my feet wet and attending a lecture in a cold hall, and suffered a relapse. Catarrh of the throat and head followed, and as I was in a weak condition physically previous to this, it took but little to break me down completely. One of my college Mends, who was visiting me, asked me to try Peruna and I did so and found it all and more than I had expected. It not only cured me of the catarrh, but restored me to perfect health."—Alice Dressier. If you do not derive prompt and satisfactory results from the use of Peruna, write at once to Dr. Hartman, giving a full statement ol your case and he will be pleased to give you his valuable advice gratis.

Four other Boer leaders are still in the southwestern part of Orange river colony. Now that Gen. DeWet is back in his own country it will be almost impossible to operate against him. Just as soon as he is pressed, his commando dissolves, to meet again a few days later. A dispatch from "Lorenzo Marquez says that a Mr. Martinisen, who resigned a post in the U.

S, and other powers to induce Russia to abandon the Manchurian convention. The Pekln correspondent of the Lokal Anzeiger gives statistics killed during the troubles, exclusive of the Pekin siege. He enumerates 118 Englishmen, 79 Americans, Swedes and Norwegians, 2(3 Frenchmen, 11 Belgians, 10 Italians and Swiss, and 1 German. It is estimated that 30,000 native Christians perished. Friction has arisen at Tien Tsin between the British and the Russians over a piece of land alleged t o belong to the railway company and to have in possession of the company for some years. According to dispatches from Tien Tsin the Russians assert that this land is part of their new concession and therefore Russian property. Mr. Kinder, manager of the railway had begun to make a sidinp, but was stopped by the Russian authorities. He appealed to CoL McDonald, who referred the mutter to Gen. Barrow, British chief of staff in l'ekin, who replied: "Carry on the siding with armed force, if necessary." A general meeting of the foreign ministers was held on the 12th. There is strenuous opposition against demanding many more h«ads, but a list of 96 minor officials will be presented to Prince Ching and Li Hung Chang to be tried for complicity in the outrages and punished in such manner as the Chinese themselves see fit, except in the case of six men, who the ministers thinic should be excited. A dispatch from Gen. Kitchener, dated Pretoria, March 12, says Gen. DeWet is north of Brandfort, Orange river colony. Continuous rains have interfered with the movements of the troops in Cape Colony. Two bands of Boers are bein<? hunted among the hills by troops under Gorringe, Del isle, Grenfell and Uenniker. U. S. Minister Conger left Pekin for the U. S. on the 11th. All the foreign ministers bade him farewell at the railway station. Besides the foreign representatives a large crowd gathered at the station to bid the minister and his family good bye. The German war office received the following from Count von Waldersee on the 12th: In the fight west of Suling Pass we had only one slightly wounded. The Chinese left 250 dead on the field. A Noted Boston Woman Describes its Symptoms and Terrors.—Two Severe Oases Cured by Lydia K Pinkham's Vegetable OompouncL " I am so nervous! no one ever suffered as I do! There^ isn't a well inch in my body. I honestly believe my lungs are diseased, my chest pains me so, but I have no cough. I am so weak at my stomach, and have indigestion terribly, and palpitation of thelieart; am losing nesh;^ and backache nearly kills me, and yesterday I had hysterics. " There is a weight in the lower part of my bowels, bearing down all the time, with pains in my groins and thighs — l can't sleep, walk, or sit,, and blue — oh goodness I I am simply the most miserable of women." This is a most vivid description of a woman Buffering with nervous prostration, caused by inflammation or some other diseased condition of the womb. No woman should allow herself to reach such a perfection of misery when there is no need of it. Read about Mia* Williamson's case and how she was cured. Two Bad Cases of Nervous Prostration Oured* "DEAR MRS. PINKHAM ; — I was suffering such tortures from nervous prostration that life was a burden. I could not sleep at all, and was too weak to walk across1 the floor. My heart was affected so that often I could not lie down at all without almost suffocating. I took Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound and it worked like magic. I feel that your medicine has been of inestimable benefit to me." Miss A D E L K W I L L I A M S O N . 190 N. Houlevard, A t l a n t a , Oa.

Gria Dvory Spring it is noticeable how tnaay people »re taken away that wo nave b«en accuatomed to see In ovr dally life. Statistic* ahow that at no other season of the year does so many deaths occur. . Especially large is tire mortality -among weak and sickly people. The reason for this is apparent The t» body that is weakened by age or dis- # ease has much to contend with during* the Winter months. Insufficient exercise frequently has been taken. Too much starchy and fatty foods have been eaten. The system haa, been allowed to become run down, and when Spring come* with ite bright, sunshiny days, older people will begin •o realize that' their vitality has become very low. The same thing is 'true of people who are naturally sickly and weak. This is the season of the year When even a strong person feels at his worst. That tired, restless feeling is experienced by too .many. There need not be as many deaths this year as usually take place. A little care will "ward off many Spring funeraJs. If one is weak or ailing they should take time by the forelock and take Dr. Greene's Nervura blood and nerve remedy. This great medicine has been in many cases, and will con- < 'flnue to be, the means by which the black angel of Death has been driven from the threshold. It dispels the grim destroyer in a scientific way, for it purifies the blood and gives strength and vitality to the nerves. It tones up and restores to a healthy condition all of the great life-giving organs o\ the body. Dr. Greene's Nervura blood and nerve remedy will enable those who take it to throw off little ills that prove dangerous only when they attack _a_system_already wasted and weakened. Prom many people, who have experienced benefit from this greatest of ail llfe-lengtheners, comes the following from the famous General Longstreet of 1217 New Hampshire Ave., Washington, D. C. He says: "It giv\s me great pleasure, to add •my testimony with many others for Dr. Greene's Remedy, which I have used with highly beneficial results, and J. am able to recommend its virtues from experience. I have used it for catarrh and have derived help." Mr. Wellington Hynes, Elisabethtown, N. Y.. WTltes: "I feel It my duty to tell how much- other hand, revels in splendor good Dr. Greene's Nervura has done me. I was so run down that I could not sleep at night and everything worried me. I had no appetite and could not work, my head ached all the time and there was an all-gone feeling In my stomach, and I was always looking on the dark side of everything. I began to take Dr. Gffcene*s Nervura blood and nerve remedy and in less than three weeks I felt like a new man. I can now do as much work as is expected of a man my age. I advise anyone who is troubled to take Dr. Greene's Nervura. Do not go to a doctor but get a bottle of Dr. Greene's Nervura. It Is cheaper than a doctor's bill." The latter part of Mr. Hynes' advice might be profitably disregardad, however, if you should feel you would like the advice of a physician. You -can have such advice and* have it free if you will write or call on the greatest known blood and nerve specialist, Dr. Greene. 35 W. 14th St, New York Citv.

Well* * Co., URoy, N.Y, Trlfef WHIPPING POST. Chief Justice of Dtlaware la Vavo* of Tbftt Mode erf Fnaishnaent The good people of Delaware are one* more discussing the advisability of abolishing the whipping post, says Leslie's Weekly. This state is the only one 1r>flt<HrHrm a y . ^'•^P^W^PW^yw^^^W^B'WaT^^eSWPW^^^ lata, but there are many good reasons for beMevteg that this method of punishing criminals might well be extended elsewhere. Some of the ablest and most enlightened jurist* are of the opinion that the lash is a more fitting and affective method of dealing with certain petty criminals than any other that has ever been devised. It is a noteworthy fact that Chief Justice Charles B. Lore, of Delaware, Is himself strongly In favor of retaining the whipping post. "In order that poeticjustice may be done," says Judge Lore, "I think a man who whips his wife ought to be whipped. I would have the wife whip him if I could get her to do it, and I would like to stand beside her when she performed the ceremony. In the 40 year8 of my experience fully onethird of the criminals coming before the court have been non-residents. If they had been sentenced to be whipped I have not heard of a single instance of one returning to Delaware after receiving his punishment Therefore the whipping post, in my opinion, is most effective." This is strong and valuable testimony in favor of the lash by one who knows whereof he speaks. We have no doubt whatever that it would be a good thing to set up a whipping post in every state in the union. .A sound flogging is the best and most effective medicine that can be administered, not only to wife-beaters, but to wife-deserters, kidnapers and lazy and vicious vagrants. It Is the only kind of punishment that would have any deterrent effect on creatures of this sort. Oa?ea4e4 by M septal a Kay* The court of Laoeanae reoently rta- Atxoi a very important decision, which if thought to strike at personal liberty. An Italian woman rented a room In that elty. A few months later she departed, leaving behind her a box containing wearing apparel. Intending ta return for her property she took the key of the room with her. A short time afterward she removed her trunk, but forgot to return the key of the room to the landlady. For this "offenser" she was sentenced to seven days/ Imprisonment.

The peasantry, animated by the strong Irish l&Ye^oMejunnlnjg', built It fw him, Just as In modern days they assemble and build huts for evicted tenants. It was not a very formidable undertaking. A deep, dry ditch or trench by the roadside was usually selected for the site. At the side of the trench an excavation of the requisite area was dug, so that the clay bank formed three sides of the inclosure. This saved the trouble of building walls. Then the fourth side, or front side wall, with a door and two windows, was built of green sods laid in courses, while similar sods raised the back to the required height and pointed the gable ends.

He says: "Tests frequently made show conclusively that a larger yield of carrots can be obtained from Rhode Island and Connecticut grown seed than from th* best Imported." An investigator of the seed growing industry reports that all corn, celery, lettuce, onion, melon, tomato, pepper, squash and pumpkin seeds used in the United States are home grown. All the cucumber seed except that of the French varieties is produced here, as is nearly all the eggplant and kale and a great deal of the beet seed. Sugar beet seed is grown to a limited extent. The best Brussels sprouts seed is grown here, most of the okra and a great deal of the parsley, mustard and spinach. Radish is grown to some extent, especially about Philadelphia, but many dealers do not consider American seed, at least of the small early sorts, equal to the best Imported. Many other kinds are raised in a small way, but growers cannot compete with the cheaper imported seed. —There is unfortunately a great demand for cheap seeds, and low grades of many sorts can be imported more profitably than they can be produced by the American grower. Garden seeds are grown in most of the northern and western states and a few in the south. Many kinds are largely produced in certain favorable sections, as beans in New York state, jcabbage on Long Island, peas in Canada, Michigan and Wisconsin; vine seeds in Nebraska and onion, lettuce and sweet peas in California. The value of a locality for seed growing depends upon favorable soil and climatic conditions and upon the* supply nf-cneap labor at harvest time.—Lack of labor often prevents the profitable culture of seed in places where conditions of soli and climate are favorable. In general it is the practice of the teed trade to grow plants for seed purposes where the product attains the PK1ZK HEAD LBTTUCK. (Upper plant from carelessly grown seed; lowar plant from properly grown seed.] greatest degree of perfection. Seedsmen know where to look for the best seed as well as for the cheap grades, and when tUey have a discriminating trade they do uot handle seed of questionable pedigree. Certain localities are specially adapted to certain varieties. Onion seed grown in Southport, Conn., tends to produce round bulbs, while that growu at Wethersrteld, in the same state, produces flat ones. A source of loss to seed growers IS the destruction of plants not true to type. When seeds are carefully grown, tbe ft eld 8 are "rogued" so that only plants showing the characteristics of the variety are left. The remainder, no matter how good they may be otherwise, are discarded. This is a source of loss, and when seeds are grown cheaply It is avoided by permitting every plant to produce seed. The poorest •lants, as they come nearest the wild type, will usually yield toe most seed, bat these seeds will In turn produce plants that will disappoint the most eveHst mdgsjr, Tfef. -.i«8ttljatt na» i in up il li enow* IB tne upper figgr* * lettuce plant raised trotth cejeMMfty frown seed end hftneath It the snm# variety.

Gen, Benjamin Harrison died at his home in Indianapolis a t 4:45 o'clock on the afternoon of the 13th without regaining consciousness. His death was quiet and painless, there being a gradual sinking until the end came, which was marked by a single gasp for breath as life departed from the body of the great statesman. Gen. Harrison had been in a semi-conscious condition for ill mi.miaul Happenings of the Week Briefly Related. 30TH REGIMENT HOME AGAIN. ,An Interesting Batch of Michigan Items Prepared for Quick Reading for Buy Mtchlganders—Amendment* to the Constitution Most be on Separate Ballots.

Immediately upon the receipt of the news of Gen. Harrison's death GOT. Durbin, of Indiana, ordered the flagon the state house to be put at half-mast and similar tokens of regard for the distinguished dead were shown at the federal building and at numerous private buildings. According to the funeral plans <5en. Harrison's remains will lie in state at the state capitol on the 16th and the funeral will occur the day following. Began Life on m Trnrm.' Benjamin Harrison, grandson of the ninth president, lived the life of a farmer's boy at his home at North Bend, 0. He lived in a little farmhouse, tumbled out of bed between 4 and 6 o'clock in the morning to do the "chorea" and be raking hay or "dropping" corn or potatoes by the time the sun was up. in summer he ran the usual risk to stone bruises and stubbed toes as the other boys of the district, and in winter tramped two miles to school and played "bull pen" with as much enthusiasm as the other boys. He* studied law, became colonel of a regiment in the civil war, won promotion In battle, and was defeated for governor of Indiana in 1876. In ,1880, as chairman of the Indiana delegation io-the Republican Nallonal conventK he cast the entire vote of the state for James A. Garfield for president President Garfield offered him a place in his cabinet, but he declined. Elected President. In 1888, when the national convention was held in Chicago, he was nominated for the presidency, and elected to that high office that year. Views cm PnbJle Questions.. Seme of his comments on various government problems are as follows: —Civil service reform:—^1 am an advocate of civil service reform. My brief experience at Washington has led me to utter tb* wish, with an emphasis I do net often use, that I might* be forever relieved of any connection with the distribution of public patronage. It is easy for theorists to make suggestions on this subject, which in their opinion would cure 1 existing evils. I assure them it is acre difficult to frame a law that shall be safe and practical in Its application."

Trusts: "We must find tome way to stop such combinations.'* WHAT VEOBTABLES TO EAT. Asparagus is very cooling and easily digested. Turnip tops are invaluable when young and tender. Watercresses are excellent tonic, stomachic and cooling. Celery is delicious cooked and good for rheumatic and gouty people. Tomatoes are health-giving and purifying, either eaten raw or cooked. Onions are good for chest ailments and colds, but do not agree with all. Lettuces are very wholesome.

Pingree during several special sessions of the legislature. Mr. Oren appears for the and opposes the granting of the mandamus. ' He states the facts to be that Judge Cahill was employed by the governor without knowledge of the attorney-general, and without the latter'B consent, either expressed or implied; that the attorney-general was in no way disqualified to perform such services and was at all times, during the period in which they were rendered, accessible; that the auditors determined that the services were not rendered under such extraordinary circumstances as would justify the executive in employing counsel independent of the attorney-general, and that therefore no claim against the state was created. MINOR MICHIQAN MATTERS. Capao is to have a chicory plant All slot machines at Niles must go. Horse thieves are operating at Buchanan. One case of smallpox is reported at 30th Regiment Home Again. The transport Hancock, carrying the 30th regiment, Col. Gardener's, which is made up of volunteers from Michigan and Illinois, arrived at San Francisco on the 13th and was sent to quarantine. The government tug Slocum, with army officers from the Presidio, and a delegation from the local colony of Michigan and Illinois people, went out to the Hancock as soon as she got the quarantine tug's signal to come alongside. The soldiers were given a very cordial greeting. There were no deaths on the voyage and the health of the command is above the average. The voyage was a pleasant one and the soldiers are happy over the fact that it was made in quick time. There were in all 875 people on board, of which number 26 are army oflieers, 738 noncommissioned officers and men of the Thirtieth volunteers. The Hancock also brought 72 prisoners and discharged soldiers who were deported on a military order. . • An Exciting' Time at Hudson. One of the most excitia^ scenes that has ever taken place in Hudson was witnessed there on the afternoon of March llth when four alleged safe blowers who robbed a West Toledo postoffice on the 9th, stepped off the train from the east City Marshal Chas. Atkinson attempted to arlowed, in which about 50 shots were exchanged by officers and burglars. One of the burglars was held up by Theo. Atkinson near the depot and was arrested, while the other three escaped, with the officers in hot pursuit. About two miles from the city another ofthe ~ robbers was" 'captured aItenr ^ hard fight, and another was overpowered at Posey lake, four miles northeast The fourth man made his escape. 8.145 Deatha In Michigan In February. There were 3,145 deaths reported to the secretary of state as having occurred in Michigan in February. This number is less than the number returned for January, but owinjj to the shortness of thf month, the death rate per l,0o0 population increased from 15.7 to 17.7. There were 472 more deaths in February, 1901, than in February, 1900. There was a marked decline in tuberculous diseases, typhoid fever, diphtheria and croup, and a very considerable increase in the number of deaths reported from influenza. Pneumonia also increased, but not to as large an extent There was one death reported from smallpox in the city of Saginaw. Bay City. The bonded indebtedness of Pontlac is 1161,000. Counterfeit dollars are being circulated at St Joseph, One death from smallpox was reported at Pinconning on the IStfcu The coal miners in the Saginaw district will ask for an increase in wages. The postoffice at Kitche, Houghton county, has been discontinued. Mail to Venton. Adrian is negotiating with an eastern man for the removal of a shoe factory to that city. The Hancock & Calumet railroad will change from a narrow gauge to a standard gauge road. Wolves are very numerous in Luce county this winter, and hunters are killing large numbers of them. The proposition to bond the village of Augusta for water works, was lost at the charter election on the llth. The circuit court at Cold water suspended business on the llth, owing to the presence of smallpox in the village. Marshall's new $25,000 school building, recently completed, was taken possession of by teachers and pupils on the llth. It is reported that the Calumet & Arizona Mining Co., at Houghton, will place 100,000 shares of stock on the market at once. The West Bay City council is considering the plan of asking the legislature/ to change the name of West Bay City back to Wenona. namilton_ business men and the farmers of the vicinity have organized a stock company for the establishment of & creamery in the village. Rev. A. C. Barclay, of Clare?preached a sermon by phone, many of bis flock enjoying it at their homes. The church is closed on account of smallpox. Not a tram on the G. R. & I. or the Pere Marquette railroads reached Petoskey on the llth. The snow blockade was the worst of the season in that section. Thirty-two girls employed in the Schwabach garment factory, at Niles, went on strike on the llth. They haven't received any salary for several weeks. Recently a Jackson barber shaved a man who said he had chickenpox. The barber now has smallpox, and a general vaccination at Jackson has been ordered. The hearts of Watervliet folks have been gladdened by the announcement that the big paper mill, the industrial mainstay of the village, is to resume operation soon. At a meeting of the moneyed people at St. Joseph recently it was decided to build a theater to cost between $35,- 0,000 Work will be commenced at once. The planing mill, mophadle factory and a quantity of lumber, owned by M. A. Agen, of Ludington, was destroyed by-fire on the morning of the llth. Loss, 84,500. From 12, midnight, on the 9th, until 12, midnight, on the 10th, 2,03T cars were run through the St Clair tunnel at. Port Huron. The best previous record was 1,553 cars.

The state board of health reports show that in the month of February, compared with the average for the 10 years preceding, scarlet fever, typhoid fever and smallpox were more prevalent and intermittent fever, diphtheria, remittent fever, measles, whooping cough and cerebro spinal meningitis were less prevalent Eastern capitalists believe there is •11 in Allegan county, and several test wells will be put down in the near future. Dr. Chas. O. Reilly, pastor' of 8 t Mary's church at Adrian, for the past seven years, haa resigned his charge. He is almost totally blind. Trout Lake citizens became excited over a case of smallpox at the hotel, and immediately telegraphed for assistance to the state authorities. The Caledonia State bank, capitalized at 830,000, which was to have started Id arch 1. has thrown up the sponge and the charter already se- «nred from Lansing haa been returned. was on property which had paid no taxes for three years. It is said that the old roadbed of the Cold water, Manchester & Northern railroad, which, was graded from Marshall to Olivet some years ago, will be utilized for an electric line. As a result of a terrific blizzard throughout western Michigan on the 13th, trains on nearly all the railroads were stalled. The storm was considered one of the most disastrous one in years. A murder was committed at the Wayne connty house on the night of the 13tb. Two inmates named Wm. II irris and John MacMahon quarreled, when the former palled a jackknife and stabbed the latter several times, caused his death a few minutes later., The common council of Niles has granted a franchise to the Indiana & Southern Michigan street railway for the use of the streets through that place. The road is to run from South Bend, ind., to St Joseph by way of Berrien Springs, with a spur from Niles^o Buchanan. Northern Michigan farmers are apparently not greatly in need of money, for they cut up mncb birdseye maple -.for cordwood which they dispose of in the cities. The timber will sell for 835 to 850 per thousand feet in the log, and yet it is sawed up into cordwood to be sold at 81.50 a cord just as if it were the commonest kind of stuff.

He made a little speech, but no one else talked, and the bill went to a vote. It was defeated by 16 yeas to 8 nays, 16 not being a majority. Kelly then had the vote reconsidered and the bill tabled. Half an hour later he called it up again, and then there was a long debate between him and Atwood. When this second vote was reached. Kelly moved a call of the senate, and this was dona This time the vote was 17 yeas to 11 nays, and Kelly was victorious. Ex-Speaker Adams was invited to the house platform on the 12th, and among other things, he said: "If there is any curse resting on the people of Michigan its too much legislation. It would be a wise legislature that would carefully go over our statutes and reduce the number of laws so that one volume would hold them all. I want to congratulate yon, gentlemen, upon the pleasant, sweet, harmonious session you have so far held." — ^ . . A /ain and sleet storm, extending over the southern portion of the state on the loth, caused much damage to telephone and electric street railway property.

Sugar Beet Supply Inaofleleat. By statistics recently compiled by the census bureau on the manufacture of beet sugar in the U. 8., but one of the $1 factories in the whole country obtained sufficient beets in the last census year and many were operated to but a small fraction of their capacity. The bureau report says further: In the census year more than onethird of the domestic sugar product was obtained from beet and it was a year of extremely unfavorable agricultu -al conditions in beet districts. The factories couid readily manufacture more than two and one-half times the quantity of sugar produced if supplied with sufficient raw material. Notwithstanding the very adverse agricultural conditions which resulted in the small supply of raw material, the value of the product was larger than the expenditures. A number of factories earned fair returns on the investments, others paid expenses and several lost heavily. The statistics demonstrate that beet sugar manufacture is a commercial success in the U. S. Old Employee Remembered. Two communications from Andrew Carnegie, which were officially made public on the 13th, tell of the steel king's retirement from active business life, and of his donation of 85,000,000 for the endowment of a fund for superannuated and disabled employes of the Carnegie company. This benefaction is by far the largest of the many created by Mr. Carnegie, and is probably without a counterpart anywhere in the world. This fund will in no wise interfere with the continuance of the savings fund, established by the company 15 years ago for the benefit of its employes. In this latter fund nearly 82,000,0^9 of the employes* savings are on deposit, upon which the company by contract pays 6 per cent and loans money to the workmen to build their own homes. A Rain or Blood In Sicily. A strange phenomenon was witnessed at Palermo, Sicily, on the 10th, For over t2 hours a he ivy red cloud extended over the city, the sky being a deep, red. The rain that fell resembled drops of coagulated blood. This phenomenon, which is called "bloody rain," is attributed to dust from the African deserts, transported by the heavy south, wind now blowing. The phenomenon seen in Sicily also extended over southern Italy. At Rome the sky was yellow, and at Naples a rain of sand fell, the heavens being dark red. Many Killed by a Boiler Explosion. By the explosion of a boiler m the Doremus steam laundry in Chicago, shortly after 8 o'clock on the morning of the llth, the entire building was wrecked. It is stated that about 30 girls and between 50 and 60 male employes were buried in the ruins, which immediately took fire. Twelve girls were dragged frum the wreckage before the fire broke out. Two were badly hurt Later—Eight dead, 42 injured and many missing is the latest report received of the horrible accident Rejects Canal Amendments. The answer of the Bntisn government to the amendments to the Hay- Pauncefote treaty made by the senate was received on the llth by the British ambassador and communicated to the secretiry of state at Washington. The contents of the document had not been made public, but it probably rejects the earnest wishes of the British government to have the Nicar.iguan waterway international in character, instead of confined to the U. S. CONGRESSIONAL NOTB8. The senate on the 0th confirmed all the nominations pending in the senate and at 1:55 p. m. adjourned without day. Many of the President's friends believe he will call an extra session of congress. He does not like the Philippine legislation, chiefly because of the Hoar amendment limiting the rife of franchises to one year. The Cuban question bothers him. He does not want to pass on the Cuban constitution alone. In action taken affecting the colonies he wants congress to act with him. NEWSY BREVITIES. A cloudburst occurred at Oweneboro.

And now that business is well off your mind, let's drink the health of the new-comers, and wish them a happy home at Hollow Ash Hall." Both laughed as they drank the toast. Then the agent rose, buttoned his coat and turned to the door. The landlord saw him out; and after bidding him good night, stood looking out beyond the town, at the hill, where the lonely house was standing, dark, silent and grim. "Hollow Ash Hall let!" he murmured as he went back to the bar once more. "Well, that is a go, and no mistake! I wonder how soon it will be empty?" The CHAPTER II. So the thing was accomplished, haunted house was let. The next day all Banley knew the tale by heart. The banker's name was Cowley, and the young lady who wished to see the ghost was Miss Rose Cowley, a pretty, fair, little creature, who looked as if she would shriek and run away if a mouse crossed her path. Her elder sister, Catherine (Miss Cowley) was a tall, dark-haired girl, with a high color and flashing black eyes— by far the most proper person, one would say, to encounter a denizen or. the other world. But she did not approve of the project, and shuddered at the very name of the Hall. Mrs. Cowley, fat, fair and forty, took the matter easily, though in her heart she considered it a tempting of Providence. But she said nothing. She was devotedly attached to her stout, goodtempered husband, and had he chosen to walk into the crater of Vesuvius, I think she would have given one sigh to old England, and followed meekly in his wake. - : , Mr. Cowley, having made himself master of the Hall, was not long in paying it a visit. He took his family with him, and though they went In broad daylight, their carriage was escorted to the very lodge gates by a select troop or rosy-cheeked children, who stared at Rose as if she had been the Dragon of Wantley in person. Only to the gates, however, did this youthful bodyguard venture. When the driver got down and lifted the rusty bolt from its socket the first creak dispersed the rabble like magic. A dire vision of Queen Bess in ruff and farthingale, coming down the avenue to meet those who sought to enter, affrighted them; and with one accord they set off at full speed toward the village, never daring to look behind them, or to slacken their pace until they were safe once more at their own mothers' sides. Rose Cowley watched this exodus with laughing eyes; but her mother and sister looked as if they would gladly have followed the example of the children, and taken to their heels as well. "Mercy preserve us!" said. Mrs. Cowley, looking up at the Hall. "Who would have believed it was such a dismal place? Why, yesterday from tha road it seemed pleasant!" "Dismal, mamma!" said Rose, "I think it ia anthtng but that! Romantic, solitary, lonely, if you will, but surely not dismal!" "It is only fit for rats and owls to live in," said Catharine, with a look of intense disgust "What could papa be thinking of when he took It without even paying a visit to the place? However, there is one comfort—he Ukea enug, warn rooms aa well aa any of ua; and tlte^ first glanea at the Interior of the old shell wilt he sure to diet** chant him; We shall never live here, mamma; so you need not distress yourself at all about it" "Don't be too certain," remarked Rose. "I was talking with papa thia morning about H, and I asked what was to be done If the place should turn out damp and cold. What do you think his answer was?" "Why, that In such a case we couldn't stop, of course." "Not a bit of it," replied the mischievous girl. "Papa said that he thought we were all apt to pamper ourselves too much and that it would do us good to miss a few luxuries and comforts for a time." Mrs. Cowley groaned. "I shall have rheumatic fever, I knew. Mr. Cowley will never be mad enough to live here. The house is like a well." "Don't fear, mamma," replied Catharine, with an air of composed certainty that was peculiarly provoking to Rose. "By the time papa has had to go without breakfast and dinner once or twice, because the chimney wilil not draw, he will be ready enough to go away. Men may be stoics and ascetics and philosophers in theory easily enough. But all their fine doctrines go to the wall, I observe, when their stomachs come in question." As she spoke, they drew up before their new home, and even Rose was obliged to confess in her own heart that it might have been a pleasanter one, when she looked up at the fastclosed door, and the blank range of dusty windows. Mrs. Cowley groaned again. The place was even worse than she thought, and she was wicked enough to pray secretly for a fit of the gout, or a smart twinge of lumbago, which should lay her lord and master flat on his back, and thus enable her to take him to Brighton—to town, even—rather than to this modern "Castle of Udolpho," which shtcked her almost more by its outward dirt and discomfort than by the ghostly tenants which it held within. "Now, my dear, let me help you. Jump out, Rose, and see which of us will find the haunted chamber first," said Mr. Cowley, coming to the door of the fly, his round, red face beaming with delight at the evident trepidation of his wife and eldest daughter. "Jump out and see how you like your future home. You are as good as the lady of the manor now, Mrs. C. What do you think of that? Did you ever expect to attain to such dignity, even in your wildest dreams of the future?" "I certainly never expected to come to such a place as this," said Mrs. Cowley, piteously, as she left the fly. "Queer old den, isn't it, my love?" u\ecf queer!" "But I dare say you will like it in time. It is a fine airy place, I can see. Catharine, you will have cheeks like cabbage-roses In no time." "Papa, you cannot think of living here!" said that young lady in dismay. "Can't I, my dear? But I do, and J-farjthla veryjeason^th&jgQrlcL is get- } the pier 1 No Brighton for yo* at present, mis*. You will star Jeer* end doyour fellow-countrymen a aetvice, if you please, by disabusing their minds of a stupid prejudice, by means of your own experience, Driver, hare you got the key to this door?" "Here it is, air,"' said the-man. But he fell to the rear after presenting It He waa a lad of nineteen and had heard too much of the place not tfc keep at a respectful distance during the toot moment of Investigation. ting far too romantic and fanciful to suit me. What with spiritualists and table-turning, and men who float in the air, and men who see things in a crystal, and haunted houses, and sees who make almanacs and all the rest of it, England seems to be going stark mad. I used to give my countrymen a little credit for common sense, but I can scarcely recognize them now, and I hold that any one who makes a firm stand against this new-fangled nonsense is a public benefactor. I mean to do it, and to make you do it too. For this reason I take this house, which the silly idiots about here say is haunted. Not one among them dare come near the place. I'll show them that I'm not afraid to live here. And then, perhaps, they will come to their senses again, and learn that people in the other world are glad enough to get quit of this. Ghosts, indeed, I have no patience with sueh nonsense!" "But, papa, if they come?' suggested Rose, with a timid glance at the close shut house. "If they do, I'll pinch their noses with the tongs!" said Mr. Cowley, solemnly, and Rose burst out laughing. "But, papa," said Catharine, "the house is so damp!" "Damp? Nonsense*! It is as dry as a bone. Don't you see that It stands on the top of a hill? How could the water get up here, I should like' to know?" "I am jure it does, and you will have lumbago nnd mamma rheumatism and Rose a sore throat and I a perpetual, influensa. Dear papa, do give up this scheme and take us to Brighton instead!" "Oh, yea, I think I aee myself doing it!" waa the grim reply. T a k e you to Brighton to wear a pork-pie hat on the sands, and show your amities on "This lock has not been oiled since the year 11" said Mr. Cowley, puffing and blowing as he tried to turn the key. "Hang the thing, how it sticks! Bear a hand here, my good fellow, will you? Hallo!" The key turned suddenly as he spoke, the lock yielded, and the door flew open with such violence that Mr. Cowley landed on his nose in the hall. Seeing this, his wife forgot her fears and ran to pick him up. Rose and Catharine followed, and so at last they stood together beyond the threshold of the haunted house. While Mrs, Cowley and Catherine were helping the head or the family to his feet, Rose gased around her with breathless awe, half expecting each moment to see some dim shade approaching to wave them away. But no one came. All was still and quiet. They stood within a small, square hall, very dusty and dirty and lighted only by the fanlight over the door. A worn mat covered the floor, there was a small iron st-ve in the center of the hall, and, leaning against it a curiously carved walking stick, resembling the wand of a magician rather than the ordinary cane of a gentleman in the nineteenth century. Rose took this in her hand, but quickly laid it down. It did not seem "canny" to hold it, though why she could not say. Mr. Cowley rubbed his head, felt his nose carefully all over, and pronounced himself quite sound. "What made me fall, I cannot tell," he remarked. "It really seemed as if the door was jerked from my hand by some person inside. Do you know, my dear, I incline to the opinion that some evil-disposed person has harbored here at some time or another and taken advantage of the popular belief in ghosts to carry out all manner of iniquity in perfect safety. For aught we know, such a person ma/ be within hearing now." Mrs. Cowley gave a little shriek. "Then we are all safe to be robbed and murdered! Dear George, do let U3 leave this place and get home as soon as possible!" "Nonsense, my dear; don't interrupt me, if you please! Robbed and murdered, indeed! Is that likely while you have me to protect you? I merely made that remark as a warning in case such a person should be concealed here. I recommend that person not to come too near, whoever he may be; and I add, for his further information, that I shall sleep here with a revolver, loaded and capped, by my side, and if he begins any of hiB tricks upon travelers, I'll give him pepper, by Jove! Now, Mrs. C, come along and look at the rooms." Trembling and disgusted, the good lady followed her truculent spouse, as he opened door after door within the mansion. The rooms were all dark and dingy, it is true, but they had high ceilings and plenty of windows with pleasant aspects. Soap and water, and afterwards pretty curtains and bright fuiiiltarerK^ant>rand tt few pictures ^^^^H OF DIAJtfONPft. !/'l"i> Although you may, mot he an w e r t at precious atom**, Acre are three ways in which you tan tell whether a diamond ia real or not First boil the ettne in boracic acid to preserve the polish upon the surface ef the stone. Then heat the jewel in a gaa tame and drop it into some cold water while it is hot. If it is a real diamond it will stand the test without cracking to pieces. If an imitation, the stone will craok and crumble to pieces. The second method ia as follows: Take a cup of water—a black cup, gutta percha, or any dark stone cup is beat —and drop two stones into the water, the one a diamond and the other, which is known to be ordinary crystal. The diamond, if a true one, will shine a clear white through the water and will be clearly visible, while the other stone will blend with the water in such a way as to be almost imperceptible in the water. Another plan is to procure a surface of striped paper— red and white stripes are the most suitable—and pass the suspected stone slowly over its surface. If the colors show through the stone It is some variety of crystal and not diamond. A real diamond will not show the variety of colors, but will look the same over the red as well as the white stripes.—J^ondon Express. ^ Z S M ^^^^ SSB fmm m WUEM mm I I " ' " _ IP M i l •• ft* Cteee* Xatwmt FertflMr et\ the U* te MaaJteH* w»r» Hlaoett » XmMw* would make quite another place of it as Mr. Cowley said. CHAPTER III. Nevertheless, as the party progressed from room to room, a silence fell SOSL them all—a nameless weight seemed to rest upon every heart. Mrs. Cowley looked really ill, Catharine was very pale, Rose ceased to laugh and jest, and even Mr. Cowley pursued his investigations in a nervous, fidgety way, as if he was ill at ease. Did you ever visit an empty house, dear reader, by yourself? A lonely country cottage, for instance, with no evil tale hanging over it like a dark cloud—nothing to mar its beauty— nothing to take from its aspect 'of home and peaceful repose? Passing from room to room, with the bunch of keys dangling from your hand, did you not begin to feel that something unseen, but not unfelt, was bearing you company—something that opened the doors and looked out of the windows and pointed at the corners of the apartments as if to illustrate a story which you also felt but did not hear? Did not that unseen companion become almost too real—almost visible at the last and actually drive you from the place—not frightened—not nervous— oh, no!—only with pale lips and hurried steps and a hand that shook a little as it gave the keys back in the agent's office, and wrote down the direction to which the agent might apply. All thia, and more than this, did the party at the Hall experience. Something— nay, more than one something waa beside them. Mo one spoke of the presenos, yet all were conscious of It though they tried to laugh it oft, even in the recesses ot their own mimefe. (To he continued.) MADAME BAVEAS TESTIFIES. A OUttnffiUfthad iM&f After TraTeUtt* for Six Tears la Search of Health, a« Lost FlacU It In Dodd's Kidney PUla. Hot Springs, Ark., March 18—(Special.)— This popular resort numbers among its patrons many of the world's most distinguished men and women, but none more so than Madam Xsabelle Ellen Baveas, Life Governor of the Free Masons Grand Lodge of England. Madam Baveas. like most of the other visitors, came here in search of health. She was not disappointed, but her cure was not found in the virtue of the baths, but in a few boxes of Dodd's Kidney Pills, a remedy which she found on sale here, and which is being ured and with wonderful success by a number of the visitors to Hot Springs. She says: "I traveled almost constantly for the past six years in the interests of my Society, and my health gradually became broken down, through "the change of food, water, climate, etc. The doctors told me I hfed diabetes and advised me to go to the Springs, as they could do nothing for me. While there my attention was called to Dodd's Kidney Pills by a fellow sufferer, who had been greatly benefited by using them. "I profited by her experience and bought a box, and then another, and so on until I had used seven boxes. It is with gratitude that I state that they cured me completely, and I am now able to take up the duties of life once more. I am very thankful for what Dodd's Kidney Pills have done for inc. and as a grateful woman shall never hesitate to recommend them to anyone suffering with Diabetes." The very satisfactory experience of this distinguished woman should be an encouragement to all similar sufferers. Dodd's Kidney Pills are 50c. a box, six boxes for $2.50. Buy them from your kx~il druggist if you can. If he cannot supply you, send to the Dodd's Medicine Co., Buffalo, N. T. MULE ON SNOWSHOE3. The Pl»a by Which Mall Waa Carried Through Bi« Snowilrtfti. It is said that the late Jock Darling, the most noted hunter and trapper ever known In Maine, once brought a young deer out of the deep snows of the woods by fitting snows hoes to its feet, and there have been instances of dogs wearing the moosehide. but not until a recent day, so far as the records show, dia any one in this New England state ever see a mule on snowshoes. The snow that came last week was only an ordinary fall, but the gale that succeeded it piled up big drifts, shutting out many towns from all communication with the outside world. Bingham, in Somerset county, had been without mall for a week when one evening, the mail carrier, Henry Caswell, arrived from The Forks with four sacks slung over a mule's back. The mule, Pete, is a diminutive animal, tough and strong, but, going as mules generally go, utterly unable to wade through the high ridges of snow between The Forks and Bingham. So Caswell, after studying the situation a bit. decided to fit snowshoes to Pete. The plan worked all right and the little mule, seeming to appreciate the situation, allowed the shoes to be fitted without objection. The shoes were made of oak frames, woven with stout moosehide, about half the width worn by men and without the usual long shank behind Pete came along on his shoes as wel aa Caswell on his, and the two were welcomed with shouts of approval by the people of Bingham. The return Journey, twenty-four miles, was made in the same way. A new island hse beam formed out at sea> about 10 mUes from the mouth oi tboiaotee* HOB. Thomas Gceemway, Premier of the Province of Manitoba, ome of the foremost farmers of Western Canada, writes an «c«ll«n$ article to the press,— from which the following extracts are made: The writer came to Manitoba from Ontario in the autumn of 1878, and has ever since been? engaged in agriculturai pursuits. From the day, nearly twenty-two years ago, when he selected his homestead, he has had unbounded faith in the country as a place where farming can be successfully carried on, if pursued upon proper lines. There is a large number in this province who should rather he called "wheat-growers" than farmers. On account of the facilities, natural advantages, and therefore cheapness with which wheat ca*n be grown, no doubt many have done exceedingly well by raising wheat only; still, It is far from ideal farming. Not only will such a course, if persisted in, have the effect of causing the land to run out, as haa been the experience of those who pursued the same plan in the wheat-producing prairie States to the south of us, but it is far from being the most profitable course to adopt. This fact is already being demonstrated in Manftoba. Let the farms in this Western country be managed upon the lines which were successful in the Eastern Provinces, and much more' can be done here in a given time than was ever done in the East. The probabilities of failure are practically niL Upon the farm there should be found horses, cattle, sheep, hogs and poultry, according to the ability of the farmer, with respect to his means and the extent of his holding. The wanton waste which has hitherto been practiced by many farmers, that of burning vast quantities of excellent fodder after threshing is done, should cease; it should all be used upon the farm and converted into the old, sensible kind of fertilizer manure, and afterwards be returned to the soil, so that what has been taken from it by the crop may be restored. Although admitting that the great natural fertility of the soil in Manitoba and the success that has attended the growing of wheat after wheat for years upon the same land have a tendency to make such a course as the one mentioned tempting, yet, if continued, wheat growing upon the same land year after year is undoubtedly a mistake. The writer knows of no country that offers advantages so great to the agriculturist as does Manitoba. The various branches of farming can be carried on successfully, as twenty-two years of practical operations and observations of what others are doing nave proven. To those desiring to make new homes for themselves, the low price of some of the best lands in the world (although rapidly advancing in price this year) offers still—great - opportunities. To all such the invitation is cordially given to "Come and see." There need be no poor people here. There Is land for all who choose to come, land upon which happy Homes can be established, and from which ample resources can be gatherj. edagainstoldage. Allthat a: mas needs to achieve competence in this domain is common sense and industry. With these qualifications he ia bound to succeed. For information regarding free homestead lands, apply to any agent of •ha ipnTPmrnant whnaa aftvArt<m>ma«t appears elsewhere in these columns. BABES* BRIGHT SAYINGS, Little Harry, while playing, accidentally cut his finger. Seeing it bleeding, he called out: "Hurry and stop up my finger, mamma; it's leaking." A little 4-year-old miss was asked the meaning of the word happy, and this is the pretty answer she gave: "It's to feel like you wanted to give away all your playthings to children that haven't any.** "Remember who you are talking to, young man," said an indignant parent to his unruly son. "I'll have you to know that I'm your father."

Upon order by prosecuting attorney Shields, the body had been taken up and a post mortem examination made which developed tbe tact that Mr. Fitzsimmons came to bis death by a blow instead of a fall or a kick by a horse as was at first thought. The injury was such that it would cause instant death and Mr. F. could not have gotten to where he was found w ithout help.

Oid Joha- Tabor of Bpwle -Creek, sat em his vefaada, hia hega legs uprcmd suggestive of the proofs of a black oak tree. The puckers between his eyes drew his brush-heap brows together. His pretty daughter, Mollte, stood at the rail.of the balusters,,her apron pressed to her eyes. A eurtaia of morning giory vines dropped from the «aves to the ground, one blossom of which touched the cheek of the youag «(rl with the soft lips of sympathy. "No use in none o* your foolishness.

Mollie, in a frenzy of dispair and grief, went to the front door and gazed with eager, blistering eyes up and down the road. She wanted to see some one she could fly to, to whom she could reveal her peril, and b3g for a rescuing hand. Not more than a minute had passed when two men on horseback rode into view. They were« Richard Hardin, the wealthiest young man in that section, Land bis younger brother, Jerre.

The old fellow was delighted, and when they were well on the road, he didn't refuse Hardin's proffer of a drink from his bottle. The old man was a spreer. When he got one drink it was the beginning of a two weeks' "drunk." Frequently tapping Hardin's bottle, he was in excellent shape before town was reached. The bottle exhausted, the pair entered the nearest .saloon and began to drink to the health of the young couple. Hardin took very small drinks, while the old man was rapidly passing from the political to the religious stags of drunkenness. The crying stage is next, and, before that was reached.

Then he had him carried to bed, where be slept in snoring unconsciousness until 2 o'clock the next afternoon. Hardin handed the license to Mollie, sent for Ed Bronson and a preacher, and had the couple married four hours after he and the old man had started for Vanceburg. Tabor continued his spree for two weeks, never coming heme during the time. One day he was standing at the bar, treating a lot of appreciative loafers, and bragging on his son-in-law, Tcm Bradley, when the latter entered and called him out the back way. "Mr. Tabor," he said, crying, "I think you treated me bad—promising me Mollie an' then glvln' her to Ed." "What!" thundered 4he—old _man. "Are they married? I got the license fer you an' her." "No you didn't," mournfully spoke poor Tom, "It was made out for Ed an' Mollie, an* the clerk sez you wuz present an' give your consent."

It is safe to cay tbat no woman ever used Peruna for any catarrhal derangement but what it became indispensable in her household. i/ectora From Wotuwi. Every day we receive letters from women like the following. Women who have tried doctors and failed; women who have tried- Perur.a and were cured. Miss Katie, Klein, 6125 Bartmer avenue, St. Louis, Mo., writes: "Peruna has done me more good for catarrh than the best doctors could. I had catarrh so bad. but after taking Peruna it is entirely gone, and I feel like a different person." MLu A una i Preacott'n Letter, Miss Anna Prescott, in a letter from 216 South Seventh street, Minneapolis, Minn., writes: "I am sincerely gratefaF for the mans eyes were tifted^aTR-hr*tfe*fiwve^0<M<^/^^ runs, I WBB completely used up last tall, my appetite had tailed aad-1 felt weak and tired all the time.

"—Anna Prescott. A constant drain of neitwooa vitality depleting the whole nezwaas system causes the mucous membrane surfaces to suffer accordingly. This is the condition called systemic catarrh. It very T^riy rpapmfrles. and there is really no rasthenia, or nervous prostration, Peruna will be found to effect an immediate and lasting cure in all cases - -of systemic -catarrhs It acts quickly and beneficially on the diseased mucous membranes, and with healthy mucous membrane? the catarrh can no longer exist. Peruna a T r a i Friend to Women. Mrs. F-,J. Lynch, writes the following from 324 S. Division street, Grand Rapids, Mich: The Peruna Medicine Co., Columbus, 0. Gentlemen—"I earnestly recommend Peruna to any suffering woman, as it cures quickly. Last year I had a most persistent cough which nothing seemed to cure. Two bottles of Peruna did more for me than all the doctors seemed to do. In a couple of weeks I found myself in excellent health, and have been enjoying it ever since. Hence_ JLJook on Peruna as a true friend to women."—Mrs. P Peruna is equally efficacious in cur Jng catarrh of the throat as in curing systemic catarrh or catarrh of the stomach. Catarrh is essentially the same wherever located. Peruna cures catarrh. J Lvncfi Peruna cures catarrh whftTETlPiJpj^ y cated. As soon as Peruna removes \ practical difference, between this conditioned the condition known as neurcrona Makes Ton F e l l Like a Now Person. Miss Mary Coats, a popular young woman of Appleton, Wis., and president of the Appleton Young Ladies' Club, also speaks in glowing terms of Peruna. A letter recently received from. her by The Peruna Medicine Co., of Columbus, Ohio, reads as follows: "I am glad to call the attention of my rriends to Pcnma;—-"When that languid, tired feeling comes over you, and your food no longer tastes good, and small annoyances Irritate you, Peruna will make you feel like another person inside of a week. "I have now used it for three seasons, and And it very valuable and efflcaious."—Miss Marie Coats. Diseased nerves are traceable directly to poor digestion, and poor digestion is directly traceable to catarrh. With the slightest catarrh of the stomach no one can have good digestion. Very, few of the many women who have catarrh off the stomach suspect what their real trouble UB. They know they belch after meals, have sour Btomach, a sensation, of. weight or heaviness, a fullness,- irregular appetite, drowsiness, gnawing, empty sensations, occasional paiat-they all know this; hut they do not Jcnow that their troubla is catarrh of the stomach. If they/did. they would take Perunau. catarrh from the stomach the digestion Decomes good, appetite regular, nerves strong, and trouble vanishes. Peruna strengthens weak nerves; not by temporarily stimulating them* but _py removing the cause of weak nerves ~poor digestion. This ia-jttta-^oa*y cure that lasts. Remove the cause: Nature will' dt> the r*st Peruna ra^_ moves the cause. If you do>not derive prompt-ami satisfactory reawlts from the use of Peruna, write- at once to Dr. Hartman, giving a. full' statement of your case and he will be pleased to give you: hla .valuable advifee gratis.

Jo#?pb Bert Smileys the excentric editor of the Galeburg Enterprise, had a bad spell again last week, going off on a tangent via the Load postal bill and the common herd of .publishers. He claims that the newspapers secured their low rates of postage on account of their being a source of education but thought most of them should pay one cent on each paper instead of pound rates. He did not consider Pan-Amerjeaa matter, medical advs. etc news. Bro. Smiley may be right in his comments, but if the column and a half in last week's Enterprise berating other newspapers generaly and the Kalamazoo Telegiaph in particular, and the usual one-half or full column about "our very esteemed friends, the enemy" in which he berates another man who is running a paper in the same town, are more educational than the Pan-American or even medics, we fail to see it People may read his paper to see what Smiley will say next but tfcey *t* WD more the wiser for bariag dose so. Tl» Object of the majority of newspapers is the spread of legitimate news and the F. S. postal authority an understand it. We C- 7. U- * Edited by the W. C.

Recently Guinness, the great "beer baron" of Dublin, erected some model tenements for the use of working people, and among other things prohibitedall intoz U. eating liquors; even his own beer not allowed to be sold. Lemonad © and mineral waters can be had, but intoxicants of every form are shut out Very significant. Recently Sheriff Pearson (the Prohibition official who has proved such a terror to liquor-sellers in Cumberland county, Maine, in which Portland is situated) testified before a legislative committee that he had been offered $35,000 to allow two brands of beer to be sold during this year in Cumberland county. It is hardly necessary to say that the bribe was indignantly rejected. In a prize essay by Charpentier of the French academy of medicine, he states as the result of recent investigations in two departments that the amount of liquor consumed and the amount of crime are in direct proportion to each other, and in inverse ratio to the number of births, all of which largely helps to account for the degeneracy which the beBt MONTHLY REPORT Of the Pinckney Public Schools for the month ending Mar. 22,1901.

The lake was discovered by a bushman in 1820 and was known to the blacks as the "big water." It was then supposed to form the source of a river having its mouth on the south coast, but subsequent visitors were much perplexed at the manner in which the blacks avoided the lake, of which they appeared to entertain a superstitious dread, one aged aboriginal stating she had seen it all covered with trees, another explaining that the whole of the water sunk through the bottom and disappeared, while others uemembered the lake only as a series of small ponds. Duriug the following 20 years considerable variations were noted in the depth and extent of the lake. In 1841 the lake became partially dried up, the moist portions being simply grassy swamps.

The place remained more or less dry until 1852, the year of the great floods in that part of the colony, when it again became filled, with an average depth of nine feet. Since then the surface level of the lake has varied considerably, but the bed has never been so dry as in former years. There are indications that many hundreds of years ago the lake covered a far larger area than any yet recorded, remains of trees over 100 years old being found In spots formerly under water. The saline character of the lake is the more remarkable by reason of itp being fed by pure and sparkling fresh water streams. F r e m o n t ' s R i d e .

The red button and the red flag have been the emblem of labor and revolution for more than 3,000 years. In the ancient world the favorite colors of the aristocracy were white and azure blue, while red was plebeian. Minerva and Ceres, the goddesses of labor and agriculture, were always represented as dressed In flaming red, and the banners of the Greek and Roman trade unions were of the same color. The red flag nowhere in antiquity meant ferocity and slaughter, but rather typified the fact that all men, whether slaves or masters, had In their veins the same blood and in their nature the same humanity. But In the frequent servile wars of Italy and Greece the red flag gradually became the emblem not of labor, but of revolt. At one time when the rebellious slaves and gladiators under Spartacus defeated three Roman armies the red flag was on the point of supplanting .the eagle in the imperial city itself. It is related that the labor soldiers were so fanatically devoted to their flag that it was the custom of their generals when in battle to hurl it far into the enemy's ranks and so compel its devotees to rush forward and recover it.—New York Post.

Antiquarians assert that this ugly idol belongs to the age of the serpent worshipers, one of whose subterranean temples is in the neighborhood. This would make the figure far older than the Christian era. The statue is that of a huge, uncouth woman, with a sullen, angry countenance, her form enveloped in a loose mantle. The superstitious Bretons have always worshiped the figure, asserting that It has power over the weather and the crops. If the idol is neglected, they declare that the grain dies on the ear, and if the anger of the black woman is further roused a tidal wave sweeps over Morbihan. Twice the stone was cast into the sea by pious folk who hoped thereby to put an end to this idolatry, and twice the wnw i.i,,MfMi»vm T. »r* peasants dragged it back and set up an ir N i i W T U J S A T M K M .

Barrie, the noted Scottish story • writer, fn Scribner's Magazine told '• how a young lark got its first lesson. A baby lark had got out of its nest sideways, a fall of a foot only, but a drpjirifiil (h'r,[i fnr n hnhy "You can pet back this way," its mother said, and showed it tho way. But when the baby tried to leap it fell on its back. Then tho mother marked out lines on the ground on which it was to practice hopping, and it got along.beautifully so long as the mother was there every moment to say, "IIow wonderfully you Uop!" That Electric Botd. We received a letter the past week from a former resident of this village asking 03 why we did not publish some news regarding tbe electric road. We have no genuine news to publish but might givti a tew facts which, while tbey may not seem true now, time will prove tb9m. There ie a road being built from Jackson t o Ann Arbor touching Chelsea and Dexter on tbe south of us. There is also a franchise granted for a road from Landing to Detroit touching Howell and Brighton on the north of us. One aUo is in prospect going through tbe eastern part of tbe county. Part of these roads are already under construction anji others only in prospect. At any rate tbe rapid transit of eiectic lines has come to make a stay and unless we secure one for our village we will in tbe course of a few years be out of date. Some say the road would kill the town. That has not been proven but when every other town on all sides have a road and Pinckney shut out then the citizens will make u p as to what hurts the town t h e most, to have a road or not. We are in close proximity to a tine resort which would tend to help our village if we had an easy way to get to and from the lake. Many from the district west of this place who have never been in the habit of visiting Portage lake would be induced to spend some time there each year— this would draw trade to our village. There is not a shadow of douht but the road being built from Jackson to Ann Aroor, will put in a spur to the lake for summer traffic, We hope to see som^ move made duringthe next few week towards pushing our electric line through and we hope when the time com°s the prcmotersmay find beartyco operation along the line, especially in our, village.

Tbe committee on relations of the Cuban convention met in Havana on the S2d to consider the report drawn up by its secretary, Senor Juan Guaiberto Gomes, on the Piatt amendment In substance the report rejects four clauses—the clauses dealing with coaling stations, foreign relations, the right to intervene t o preserve peace and the entering into treaties covering the points in question. The other clauses are treated on the lines of the previous report, the sanitation of the Isle of Pines being virtually agreed to. Three of the five members of the committee objected to the rejection in toto of the four clauses mentioned, an-^ it is believed that some consideration should be given them. No vote was taken but a majority was opposed to acceptance. So many queries have been made as to when the President will announce the appointments from the volunteer service to that of the regulars that this statement is authorized. The full list of officers transferred from the volunteer to the regular service will embrace over 1,000 names, and it is not expected that it can possibly be completed in less than several weeks. The pay corps has 27 vacancies for 30 volunteer officers, which fact insures retention of all save three. The quartermaster's and commissary departments will also provide well for volunteer officers now in those corps. The list that goes to the White House will be subject to little change by the President* In the province of Cavite four insurgent officers and 53 men with much ammunition have surrendered to Capt. Baldwin of the 4th U. S. infantry, and one insurgent officer and 12 men with 16 rifles to Col. Walter S. Schuyler of the 46th volunteer infantry. The attendance at the services of the Evangelical church in Manila is not diminished. Protestantism is spreading rapidly in the province of Pampanga. . Gen.

L\. on ths 24th. Verdict or Murder Rendered. After a weex of "rumors" and talk of foul play, an inquest was held on the 19th in the ca&e of John Fitzsiraons, who was fourd dead on the 13th on a farm he had made arrangements to manage, a couple of miles from Hamburg, and the jury impaneled rendered a verdict that Fitzsimons came to his death as the result of blows he received on the head, and which were inflicted by vnknown parties. Within half an hour after this verdict was returned, Sheriff Henry D. Finley placed under arrest on the charge of committing the murder, James Ryan, of Howell, a brother of John Ryan, editor of the Howell Democrat, and, John Denehy, a farmer who has lived in that locality for many years. From the time that foul play was suspected in the death of Fitzsimons these two men had been looked upon with suspicion, and at the inquest they were both represented by attorney. Therefore, their arrest was not a surprise to anybody, and certainly not to themselves, as they had made arrangements for bail beforehand. Justice Swartz announced that he would accept bail and be placed it at $2,500 in two sureties for each man. Bonds were promptly furnished and the two men were released from the custody of the sheriff before they hud even been behind the prison bars. • ' • Tried to Lasso »n Ex-Conriot, An attempt was made at Jackson on the 20th to lynch Joseph Moran, exconvict pardoned by Gov.

By Jove! 1 go a great •deai farther than that I should like to see her well shaken—I should Ilka to shake her myself, la fact First, for believing such nonsense herself .and then for writing a pack of stories, enough to turn a whole nursery of children into dangerous lunatics. I ' wonder if she lets her own children read that wretched book." "I can't say. But If you would only let me read you one story, papa " "Read to me!—a ghost story to me! Rose, I begin to think you must be going mad!" "I'm not, papa; and this particular story is vouched for by your beau ideal Mr. Howitt." ."I don't believe it." "But it is, indeed! There is his name! and,ho had the accounts of the haunted house from credible witnessen!" "Oh, yes—of course!" sneered Mr. Cowley. "However, I don't cars if I hear this one tale. I should like to see what kind of a case he can males out of such outrageous rubbish." "I won't bother you with a long story; but Just hear what Mr. Drury says he saw at the haunted house in Wilmington, where Mr. Howitt went afterwards." y She began to read: "About ten minutes to twelve we heard a noise, as if a number of people were pattering with their bare feet upon the floor; and yet, so singular was the noise that I could not minute- I ly determine from whence it proceeded. A few minutes afterwards we heard a noise, and as if some one was knocking with his knuckles among our feet; this was followed by a hollow cough from the very room from which the apparition proceeded. The only noise after this was as if a person were rustling against the wall in coming up stairs. At a quarter to one I told my friend that, feeling a little cold, I would like to go to bed, as we might hear the noise equally well there; he replied that he might not go to bed till daylight. I took up ,a note which I had accidentally dropped, and began to read it, after which I took out my watch to ascertain the time, and found that it wanted ten minutes to one. In taking my eyes from the watch they became riveted upon a closet door which I distinctly saw open, and saw also the figure of a female attired in greyish garments, with the head inclining downwards, and the one hand pressed upon the chest, as if in pain, and the other, viz., the right hand, extended towards the floor, with the index finger pointing downwards. It advanced with^an apparent cautious step across the floor towards me; immediately as it approached my friend, who was slumbering, its right hand was ^extended towards him. I then rushed at It, giving, as Mr. Proctor states. a most awful yell; but, instead of grasping it, I felf upon my friend, and I recollected nothing distinctly for nearly three hours afterwards. I have since learned that I was carried down stairs in an agony of fear and terror. "I hereby certify that the above account is strictly true and correct in every respect. "EDWARD DRL'RY." "North Shields." "What stuff!" exclaimed Mr. Cowley. "Is there any more, Rose" "A little, papa. An account of a ghost seen in the same house by two young ladies." "The first night, as they were sleeping in the same bed, they felt the bed lifted tip beneath thsm. Of course, they were much alarmed. They feared lest some one had concealed himself there for the purpose of robbery. They gave Jin alarm, search was made, but nothng was found. On another night their 1>ed was violently shaken, and the curtains suddenly hoisted up all around to the very tester, as if pulled by cords, and as rapidly let down again, several times. ^Search again produced no evidence of the cause. The next day they had the curtains totally removed from the .bed, resolving to sleep without them, as they felt as though evil eyes were lurking -behind them. The con* sequences of this, hbwever,, were still more striking and terrific. The following night, as they happened to wake, and the chamber was light enough (for It was summer) to sse everything in it, for they both saw a female figure, of a misty substance, and a blu> ish-gr«y hue, come out of the wall at the bed's head, and through the headboard, in a horizontal position, and lean over them. They saw it most distinctly. They saw it as a female figure come out of, and again pass into, the wall. Their terror became intense; and one of the sisters, from that night refused to sleep any. more in the house but took rofuaa ia ike house of she' foreman during her stay; the other shifted her quarters to another part of the house. It was the young lady who slept at the foreman's who saw as above related the singular apparition of the luminous figure in the window, along with the foreman and his "It would be too long to relate all the forms in which this nocturnal disturbance is said by the family to present itself. When a figure appears, it is sometimes that of a man, as already described, which is often very luminous, and passes through the walls as though they were nothing. This male figure is well known to the neighbors by the name of 'Old Jeffrey!' At other times it is the figure of a lady also in grey costume, and is described by Mr. Drury. She is sometimes seen sitting wrapped in a sort of mantle, with her head depressed, and her hands crossed on her lap. The most terrible fact is that she is without eyes. "To hear such sober and superior peopje gravely relate to. you* such things gives you a very odd feeling. They say that the noise made 13 often like that of a pavior with his rammer thumping on the floor. At other times it is coming down stairs, making a similar loud sound. At others, it coughs, sighs and groans, like a person in distress; and again, there is the sound of a number of little feet pattering on the floor of the upper chamber, where the apparition has more particularly exhibited itself, and which for that reason Is solely used as a lumber room. Here these foot 3teps may be often heard, as if careering a child's carriage about, which in bad weather is kept up there. Sometimes again, it makes the most horrible laughs. Nor does it always confine itself to the night. On one occasion a young lady, as she assured me herself, opened the door in answer to a knock, the housemaid being absent, and a lady in fawn colored silk entered, and porceeded up stairs. As the young lady, of course, supposed it a neighbor come to make a morning call on Mrs. Proctor, sha followed her up to the drawing room, where, however, to. her astonishment, she did not find her, nor was a:\vthing more seen of her." ..a!!.'". "It world not corao o;>«n." "Why not?" "It ia nailed up, sir" "Didn't I tell you aof" exclaimed Mr. Cowley, gaining fresh courage from this circumstance. "Some rascal has got in there to frighten us out of the place, so he can carry on his usual games with impunity. Give me the hammer, Mrs. Macarthy, and I'll break the door open. I'll cradle the fellow with a vengeance. I wonder if one of you would have pluck enough to so for my pistol?" "I'll go," said Rose, growing very brave in the belief that a trick was being played upon them. She was not afraid of anything human, even though it came in the shape of a masked burglar at midnight, and she ran and brought the pistol, without giving a thought as to anything that might still be lurking on the stairs. When she got back her father had finished his task, and was just about to open the door. Still the cradle rocked unceasingly. He bade Mrs. Macarthy bring a light and took that in one hand and the pistoi in the other. Mrs. Cowley and Catharine shivered in the background but Mrs. Macarthy and Rose stood stoutly on the other side of the door, eager to get the first peep at the mysterious room. "Now, you fellow, who ever you may be, I give you fair warning!" called out Mr. Cowley In a loud voice. Still the cradle rocked. "I have got a loaded pistol in my hand and the moment I catch sight of you I shall fire." Still the cradle rocked. "Do you hear me, you scamp? I'll teach you to cut these capers here." Still the cradle rocked. "I shall count three!" roared Mr. Cowley, getting into a rage, "and then I shall Are." Still the cradle rocked. " One." Still the cradle rocked.

At this stage, of the reading Mrs. Cowley, who had been listening in perfect agony of fear, suddenly found strength to rebel. "Rose, shut that book instantly!" she exclaimed. "No, Mr. Cowley, I will not sit and hear such things! I've got a creeping down my back already, and my arms are all goose Mesh; and -P wouldn't hear thFi"esT~OT~TrlF_you gave me five thousand pounds—there!" Rose closed the book. Her father did not object, and drew his chair closer to the fire, and glanced nervously over his shoulder as he did so. Catharine looked very pale, though she made no remark, and Rosa was satisfied. It was a pleasure, if a malicious one, to think that not one of them all would dare go up stairs in the dark at that moment, any more than she would. And she feit quite sure that if the. lady in grey 'without eyes" came to her bedside that night, Catharine's couch would by no mean3 remain uhvfcfted. There was a short silence, broken ty the sound of a rapid scuffling step in the hall. They looked at each other somewhat timidly, and Mrs. Cowley gave a little yelp of terror when the parlor door was flung violently op^n. But nothig worse than Mrs. Macarthy stood there; Mrs. Macarthy no longer ruddy and laughing, but pale and frightened, as she had once vowed she never co'.:!d b?. "I wish you would step this way, sir," she said, addressing Mr. Cowley, eagerly. "Something queer has happened 0"t there." ? "Oh gracious, the ghost, the ghost!" screamed Mrs. Cowley. "No, ma'am, at least, nothing thit you can s*e. But it isn't exactly improving to the spirits to sit and hear it all by one's self. Do come out, sir, and listen." Mr. Cowley went. The rest, seized with a sudden panic, ran after him;— Mrs. Macarthy led the way to the kitchen, where she had been sitting reading "Love and Rev?nge. or The Bandit's Vengeance and the Maiden's Choice," by the light of two tallow candles and a blazing fire large enough ito roast an ox.; Mr. Cowley looked round curiously, so did the girls, dingling very close to their mother all the "Hark!" said Mrs. Macarthy. holding up her fingor; "there it is again!" They listened with bated brsath. J j Frost behind a closed door on the fright hand aide of the kitchen came a strange, continuous sound. "Three." Still the cradle rocked; and, for the first time they; heard distinctly sweet female voice, as if singing to a child within. - ""Ohr -graeiotts-f-Hsc; ley. Mr. Cowley looked aghast, but quick' ly recovered himself. "Another trick,-but you shan't frighten me with your confounded nonsense Stand back, all of you. Here goes! He gave the door a tremendous kick, which sent it flying from the hinges. At the same instant he fired. And still, when the echo of the shot had died away, they heard the selfsame noise, the self-same cradle song. Mr. Cowley entered the room, and held the light high above his head. It was a small closet, like a butler's paningress or egress than the door. It was impossible for anyone to escape, nor was there a single living thing in the place except'himself. Yet the cradle rocked, and the song was sung while he stood there, almost at his very feet. He stepped back into the kitchen, looking very pale, feeling very sick and fr.int. ' ! Rosa caught him by the arm. ( "Oh, papa!" she whispered, with f white lips, "the place is haunted, and J we were very wrong to come. What shall we do* Loot at mamma!" It was. inde?d, time to do so, for Mrs. Cowlf y lay in strong hysterics upon tho kitchen floor. Catharine had fainted, and Mrs. Macarthy was bending over them both, alternately administering restoratives. Mr. Cowley raised his wife in his arms; Ro3e and Mrs. Macarthy supported Catharine between then?. And as they left the haunted room th,e cradle was still rockinr, the low nursery song still sounding in their ears.' (To be Continued.)

Nowhere is the increasing interest in genealogy and genealogical societies more felt than in the parish of Old Trinity, in this city, says the New York Times. The city is so old, and the church dates back so far in its history, and so many people have lived in New York state that every other woman "who can- trace her relatives' ancestors into New York state is pretty sure that they must have been registered for birth, marriage or death in the Trinity records. They write to inquire without hesitation,' and one clerk is. kept busy most of the time looking up possible ancestors and lost links in ancestral chains. Where something like a clew is given, an effort is made to obtain the information, but when there is only a supposition It is not possible to hunt through ail the records. It would keep an office full of clerks constantly at the records to aaawer all the requests that are made. MILLIONS of Women Use CUTICURA SOAP, tssisted hf Cuticura Ointment, the great skin core, for preserving', purifying, aad beautifying tne skin, for cleansing the scalp of crusts, scales, and dandruff, and the stopping of falling hair, for softening, whitening, and soothing red, rough, and sore hands, for bahy rashes, hchings, and chaftngs, in the form of baths for annoying irritations and inflammations, or too free or offensive perspiration, in the form of washes for ulcerative weaknesses, and many sanative antiseptic purposes which readily suggest themselves to women and mothers, and for all the purposes of the toilet, bath, and nursery* No amount of persuasion can induce those who have once used these great skin purifiers and beautifiers to use any others.

Their origins are in many cases Impossible to determine, because they eyloWtly took place at a .time when the season was still pagan in Its character. Oiuers, again, are directly connected with the Christian ob- •senrance of the festival. The early Christians in many countries used to -<greet one another on Easter morning •with the salutation: "Christ is risen." The reply to this was: "Christ is risen, indeed, and hath appeared to Simon." "This custom, it is said, is still observed In the Greek church. The giving of eggs at Easter, or the spring festival, is one of the most widely known, as It is also one of the oldest, of the customs. From the remotest times the egg has stood to the Eastern nations as the symbol of the universe, and its breaking at that time has represented the opening of the new life of the year. When the custom was carried over into Christian practice the Easter eggs were usually sent to the priests to be blessed and sprinkled with holy water. In later times the coloring and decorating of the eggs was introduced, and in a royal Children roll of the time of Edward I., which Is preserved in the Tower of London. there is an entry of 18d. for 400 eggs, to be used for Easter gifts. In the last few years artificial eggs of candy, china and other materials, and egg-shaped articles of all kinds, have largely replaced the real eggs as Easter gifts. The Bhop windows each /3^ It was the Saturday before faster, and the children all ran out to the barn to hunt eggs, with Egypt, the tame crow, hopping after them. Nanny was sure there must be several dozen eggs in the hen house, Billy thought the haymow was the best place to find them, and Kitty said she had seen old Topknot flying out from Dobbin's manger. Egypt said nothing, *OUT IT CAME WITH A LOUD "OW!" ibut I rather think he knew as much about the nests as they did. Egypt was a sly old fellow. He liked buttons and pennies, but he had the greatest fancy for pins. Her would pull them out of every pin cushion in •the. house when he could get a chance, i8o you might search through room after room, and not come across a "CHRIST IS RISEN!

Nobody knew what he did ; with them all. He was fond of oggs, ' too, and I am afraid this was the reason that the children had such a long hunt for them, and found so few. At last they climbed up the long ladder into the mow. The hay was piled almost to the roof and covered the windows. It was so dark that Nanny and Kitty were a yittle bit afraid, but Biiiy went first, floundering along in the hay, just as you wade through a snow drift. "Guess there are nests on this beam." ! eaid Billy, "but it's so dark I can't ! see. I'll feel." In went billy's hand, and out it came in a second, with a loud "Ow!" "It's hornets or yellow-jackets or something!' 'he screamed. "Fetch the barn-lantern, iftt,—and" HI khocR^em out!" Kitty brought the lantern, and then ran to the other side of the barn, for fear of the yellow jackets. Billy held the lentern over his hear and peeped in. What did he see? Not hornets, but Dins, He had run his hand into Egypt's own little "hidy-hole." where the sly little rogue had laid away a whole pile of his favorite treasures. No wonder they pricked like hornets. But what the queer old bird was saving them, for I never knew. Apttrtment Home for Bachelor*.

It it asserted by ethnologists that the transplantation of the European races to newer countries results la the improvement of the- physique. The French Canadian, for example, Is of more hardy frame than the Frenchman in his own country, and the colonialborn Englishman, whether In Canada, South Africa or Australasia, is, on the average, slightly taller, though not heavier, than the natives of those islands. But, probably, the most striking example of increased stature is to be found in the South African Dutchmen, and especially in the Boers of the Transvaal. All travelers agree that not only are the Boers, physically, a much finer race than either the French or the Dutch, from whom they are descended, but that they are probably the tallest race of white men in the world. Two reasons for this remarkable Increase in stature naturally suggest themselves. First, the almost perfect climate, which makes the open-air life of the South African uplands the healthiest in the world, and secondly, the struggle for existence which the emigrants had to fight with the wilderness and the natives, INDIAN MSISIONARY S STORY. Tears of Toilsome SIlDlstrjr A n o e g the Cboctawt* Little York, lad., April l.— (Special). —Twenty-five yeara ago the Rev. C. H. Thompson left Indiana. For a time he preached in Arkansas, afterwards entering on the regular missionary work among the Choctaw Indians. For five years he lived and labored among the full bloods of the western prairies, until on April 5th. 1SS5, having lost his wife, he left the circuit on which he had preached so long, and commenced traveling missionary work among the Indians of the various tribes scattered in the west. This irregular work involved a great deal of travel over tho prairies. The drinking of so much alkali water, brought on kidney troubles which terminated in Diabetes. Finally, while laboring among the Creek Indians at Wagoner, Indian Territory, this noble man was stricken down completely. A Chicago specialist was summoned, and after a careful examination declared that there was not the slightest chance of his recovery. Besides the prescriptions of the doctors he tried many other medicines, but all to no avail. He says: "I had concluded that my days were drawing to a close, when I picked up an almanac telling of the cures of Diabetes by the use of Dodd's Kidney Pills. I sent for two boxes. I gained strength and spirits from the time I commenced to use them, and so I sent for more. I am now completely cured, and have not the slightest symptom of my old trouble. "I am G8 years of age. I tell everybody of the wonders Dodd's Kidney Pills have done for me. I can certainly endorse them heartily, and vouch that they are all that is claimed for them. They have certainly been a God-send 'tome.''

When this tube is inflamed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when It is entirely closed deafness is the result, and unless the inflammation can be taken out and this tube restored to its normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten ..are caused by catarrh, whloh is nothing but an is&amed condition of the mucus surfaces. vWe will give One Hundred Dollars for any ease of Deafness (caused by catarrh) that cannot be cured by Ball's Catarrh Cum Send lor circulars, tree.

AFTER TWENTY-FIVE YEARS' SOFFEfilNfc More Evidence of Interest to the Millions of Catarrh Sufferers in the United States. The following w a s fcttsjived /from Lord Kitchener, dated a t Pretoria, March 25: Bablsgton's force, Including ShekeUon'd column attacked Delarey 1,500 strong, southwest of Ventersdorp, and, h a v i n g , defeated him, followed him up rapidly with the result that the Boer rear guard was driven i n and their convoy, including the g u n s , cap- . lured ,_al_ Vaalbank. Our troops displayed great gallantry and dash? T h e y captured t w o impounder guns, one pompom, s i x maxims, 330 rounds of big ammunition, 15,000 rounds of small ammunition, 160 rifles, 53 w a g o n s and 3iJiarl8^_b^iide._t§-king_ 140 prisonera Our losses were s l i g h t Many Boers were killed or wounded. The new scheme of military organization in Great Britain m a y b e roughly described us the half-way house t o conscription. It involves the development of the eixisting system of voluntary enlistment and auxiliary services under conditions which preclude reasonable expectation of success. When the experiment has been tried and the results are found unsatisfactory, the w a y will be opened for compulsory service. The war office will then be in a position to assert that everything w a s done under the voluntary system to provide an adequate army* for the defense of the empire, but that men were not forthcoming, and that an elaborate paper scheme proved a failure. T h e only alternative, from the official and military point of view, will be compulsory service. A dispatch from Lord Kitchener t o the war office, dated Pretoria, March 27, says: '• Our casualties in Gen. Babington's action were t w o killed and seven wounded. The Boers left 22 dead aDd 30 wounded. As their pursuit was rapid many more Boer casualties are likely. The operations of March 23 drove the enemv from their positions at Kaffirs Kraal."' OTOOTO OOXXOTOOIOTO^ In a recent letter to Dr. Hartman, Congressman Botkin, of Winfleld, Kan., whose fame ia a national one, says of Peruna: My Dear Doctor—"It gives me pleasure to certify to the excellent curative qualities of your medicines—Peruna and Manatln. I have been atiilcted more or less for a quarter of a century with catarrh of the stomach and constipation. A residence In Washington has Increased these troubles. A few bottles of your medicine have given me almost complete relieft and I am sure that a continuation of them will effect a permanent cure. Peruna Is surely a wonderful remcdy for catarrhal affections."—J* D. Botkin, Congressman-aULarge. Peruna will cure this. Mrs. Selina Tanner, Athens, 0., writec: "I cannot find words to express my thanks for CONGRESSMAN BOTKIN is one of the most influential and best known men in the State of Kansas. Whatever he may say on any subject will be~acQepted 1)y the people as the truth. So famous a remedy as Peruna could not have well escaped the attention of so famous a man. He not only has heard of the remedy, but he has used it and was relieved of an affliction of twenty-five years' standing. Peruna is the one internal remedy that, cures chronic catarrh. It cures catarrh wherever located. This is a fact that the people are rapidly finding out, but there are still a large multitude who need to know it. Mr. Frank RIchter, of Winona, Minn., says In a letter to The Peruna Medicine Company: "As a remedy for catarrh I take pleasure in recommending Peruna for catarrh of the stomach. I know what it is to be afflicted with this awful disease and consider it my duty to say 1 in behalf of the remedy which le such relief. Peruna cured me, 4 know it wilt cure any one else ;,v rffers from this disease. It giyea eat pleasure to testify to toe cureffects of this medicine. Peruna well tested and frequently used ledy, and for catarrh of the stomach it is unsurpassed. "My catarrh was principally located In my head and stomach. I tried many remedies without success. I tried several doctors but they were unable to cur* me. I read of Peruna in the papers and five hattift* cured me/'— Frank Richter, The gastric twice is secreted by the mucous follicles of the stomach. When this jntee is normal It digests (dissolves) the food without producing any disturbance whatever. If, however, the gastric juice is sot normal, digestion causes many disagreeable symptoms. This condition Is known as indigestion. \ , your- kind Advice. I never once thought I had catarrh of the stomach. I commenced taking Penma as you directed. My stomach continued to hurt me for about two weeks after I began the medicine a n d then it stopped. I now have a good appetite w h i l e before I w a s nearly starved." —Mrs. Selina Tanner. Mr. L. 0. Marble, of Geneva, Neb., writes: "I do believe that my catarrh is entirely cured. I have not had any trouble with my stomach for a long time, I am as well as one of my ago could expect (seventy years). I have had the catarrh ever since I was a young man, and have doctored for it for years and got very little better, but thanks to you and your Peruna and Manalin I believe I am well of it I can eat anything now and it doesn't hurt me, and Peruna is the only thing I have ever found that will cure the catarrh. I believe It is the*' only cure for catarrh, and I hope every one troubled with catarrh will try Peruna and be cured."—L. O. Marble.

She goes to her family physician and tells him a story, but not the whole story. She holds back something, loses her head, becomes agitated, forgets what she wants to say, and finally conceals what she ought to have told, and this completely mystifies the doctor. Is it a wonder, therefore, that tho doctor fails to cure the disease ? Still we cannot blame the woman, for it is very embarrassing to detail some of the symptoms of her suffering, even to her family physician. This is t h e reason w h y hundreds of thousands of w o m e n are n o w i n correspondence w i t h Mrs, P i a k h a m , at Lynn, Mass. To her they can give every symptom, so that when she is ready I to advise them she is in possession of more facts from her correspondence with the patient than the physician can possibly obtain through a personal interview. Following we publish a letter from a woman showing the result of a correspondence with Mrs. Pinkham. A l l such letters are considered absolutely confidential by Mrs. P i n k h a m , and are never published in any way or manner without the consent in writing of the patient: but hundreds of women are so grateful for the health which Mrs. Pinkham and her medicine have been able to restore to them that they not only consent to publishing their letters, but write asking that this be done in order that other women who suffer may be benefited by their experience* Mrs. Ella Rice, Chelsea, Wis., writes: " D B A B M B S .

L,u":.. ass The customs, traditions and superstitiom connected with Easter are almost innumerable. Their origins are in many cases impossible to determine, because they evidently took place at a .time when the season was still pagan in its character. Oiuers, again, are directly connected with the Christian ob- -.servaoce of the festival. The early Christians in many countries used to «greet one another on Saster morning •with the salutation: "Christ is risen." The reply to this was: "Christ is risen, indeed, and hath appeared to Simon." "This custom, it is said, is still observed in the Greek church. The giving of eggs at Easter, or tho spring festival, is one of the most widely known, as it is also one of the oldest, of the customs. From the remotest times the egg has stood to the "Eastern nations as the symbol of the universe, and its breaking at that time Jias represented the opening of the new life of the year. When the custom was carried over into Christian practice, the Easter eggs were usually sent to the priests to be blessed and sprinkled with holy water. In later times the coloring and decorating of the eggs was introduced, and in a royal roll of the time of Edward I., which is preserved in the Tower of London, there if an entry of lSd. for 400 eggs, to be used for Easter gifts. In the last few years artificial eggs of candy, china and other materials, and egg-shaped articles of all kinds, have largely replaced the real eggs as Easter gifts. The shop windows each It was the Saturday before Easter, and the children all ran out to the barn to hunt eggs, with Egypt, the tame crow, hopping after them. Nanqy was sure there must be several dozen eggs in the hen house, Billy thought the haymow was the best place to find them, and Kitty said she had seen old Topknot flying out from Dobbin's manger. Egypt said nothing, "CHRIST IS RISEN! " year at this season testify to the ingenuity expended in devising new and attractive objects in which pie idea of the Easter egg shall be preserved. In Paris these Easter presents are generally given on the first day of Passion Week. AH are emblematic of eggs, and are known as "oeufs des Paque," or "Paschal eggs.'' single pin. Nobody knew what he did with them all. He was fond of oggs, too, and I am afraid this was the reason that the children had such a long hunt for thera, and found so few. At last they climbed up the long ladder Into the mow. The hay was piled almost to the roof and covered the windows. It was so dark that Nanny and Kitty were a vittle bit afraid, but Billy went first, floundering along in the hay, just as you wade through a snow drift. "Guess there are nests on this beam," j eaid Billy, "but it's so dark I can't ! see. I'll feel." In went billy's hand, and out it came in a second, with a loud "Ow!" "It's hornets or yellow-jackets or something!' 'he screamed. "Fetch the barn lantern. Kit, and I'll knock 'em out!" Kitty brought the lantern, and then ran to the other side of the barn, for fear of the.yellow jackets. Billy held the lentern over his hear and peeped in. What did he see? Not hornets, but pins. He had run his hand into Egypt's own little "hidy-hole," where the sly little rogue had laid away a whole pile of his favorite treasures. No wonder they pricked like hornets. But what the queer old bird was saving them, for I never knew. OUT IT CAME WITH A LOUD "OW!" ibut I rather think he knew as much about the nests as they did. Egypt was a sly old fellow. He liked buttons and pennies, but he had the greatest fancy for pins.

It is asserted by ethnologists that the transplantation of the European races to newer countries results In the improvement of the- physique. The French Canadian, for example, Is of more hardy frame than the Frenchman In his own country, and the colonialborn Englishman, whether in Canada, South Africa-or AUBtralails, ts, on the average, slightly taller, though not heavier, than the natives of those Islands. But, probably, the most striking example of Increased stature is to be found in the South African Dutchmen, and especially in the Boers of the Transvaal. All travelers agree that not only are the Boers, physically, a much finer race than either the French or the Dutch, from whom they are descended, but that they are probably the tallest race of white men in the world. Two reasons for this remarkable increase In stature naturally suggest themselves. First, the almost perfect climate, which makes the open-air lite of the South African uplands the healthiest in the world, and secondly, the struggle for existence which the emigrants had to fight with the wilderness and the natives, I N D I A N M S I S I O N A R Y S STORY. 3! <mm #*' " ""• * « * t t » < r D . » U * r « l u tli«» 15*»* **Fhf MWica* Htfmtttoes npt belteva that the Mexican dollar can be driven out of the East.

Few other coins have been better received in any part Tears of Toilsome Mini*try Amoeg the Choctaw*. Little York, lad., April 1.-(Special). —Twenty-five years ago the Rev. C. II. Thompson left; Indiana. For a timo he preached in Arkansas, afterwards entering on the regular missionary work among the Choctaw Indians. For five years he lived and labored among the full bloods of the western prairies, until on April 5th, 1S35, having lost his wife, he left the circuit on which he had preached so long, and commenced traveling missionary work among the Indians of the various tribes scattered in the west. This irregular work involved a great deal of travel over tho prairies. The drinking of so much alkali water, brought on kidney troubles which terminated in Diabetes. Finally, while laboring among the Creek Indians at Wagoner, Indian Territory, this noble man was stricken down completely. A Chicago specialist was summoned, and after ;i careful examination declared that thei'e was not the slightest chance of his recovery. Besides the prescriptions of the doctors he tried many other medicines, but all to no avail. He says: "I had concluded tbat my days were drawing to a close, when I picked up an almanac telling of the cures of Diabetes by the use of Dodd's Kidney Pills. I sent for two boxes. I gained strength and spirits from "the time I commenced to uce them, and so I sent for more. I am now completely cured, and have not the slightest symptom of my old trouble. "I am G8 years of age. I tell everybody of the wonders Dodd's Kidney Pills have done for me. I can certainly endorse them heartily, and vouch that they are all that i3 claimed for them. They have certainly been a God-send to me." Dodd's Kidney Pills are the only Remedy that has ever cured Bright's Disease, Diabetes or Drop3y and they never fail. of the world. And anyone who knows the intense conservatism of the Chinese may well doubt if, even in the Philippines (where there are not a few Chinese traders), a new dollar can wholly drive out the time-honored Mexican coin.

"" T R A N g V A A L WAB I T S M t v The following was *a—Ivtid 4rom Lord Kitchener, dated a t Pretoria, March 25: Babington • force, including- Shekeltoa'a column attacked Dalarey 1,500 strong, southwest of Venteradorp, and, having, defeated him, followed him up rapidly w i t h the result that the Boer rear guard was drive* i n and their convoy, including the guns, captured at Vaalbank. Our troops displayed great gallantry and dash. T h e y captured two as-pounder guns, one pompom, six maxims, 330 rounds of big ammunition, 15,000 rounds of small ammunition, 160 rifles, 53 wagons and 24 carta, beside taking 140 prisoners. Our losses were s l i g h t Many Boers were killed or wounded. The new' scheme of military organization in Great Britain m a y b e roughly described us the half-way house to conscription. It involves the development of the existing system of voluntary enlistment and auxiliary services under conditions which preclude reasonable expectation of success. When the experiment has been tried and the results are found unsatisfactory, the way will be opened for compulsory service. The war office will then be in a position to assert that everything w a s done under the voluntary system to provide an adequate army for the defense of the empire, but that men were not forthcoming, and that an elaborate paper scheme proved a failure. The only alternative, from the official and military point of view, will be compulsory service. A dispatch from Lord Kitchener to the war office, dated Pretoria, March 27, says: " Our casualties in Gen. Babington's action were t w o killed and seven wounded. The Boers left 22 dead and 30 wounded. As their pursuit was rapid many more Boer casualties are likely. The operations of March 23 drove the enemv from their positions at Kaffirs Kraal."* In a recent letter to Dr. Hartman, Congressman Botkin, of Wlnfleld, Kan., whose fame is a national one, says of Per una: My Dear Doctor—"It gives me pleasure to certify to the excellent curative qualities of your medicines—Peruna and Manalln. I have been atillcted more or less for a quarter of a century with catarrh of the stomach and constipation. A residence In Washington has Increased these troubles, A few bottles of your medicine have given me almost complete relief* and t am sure that a continuation of them will effect a permanent cure. Peruna Is surely a wonderful rem' edy for catarrhal affections."—J. D. Botkin, Congressman-at-Large. f> ONGRESSMAN BOTKIN is one of Peruna will cure this. O the most influential and best known men In the State of Kansas. Whatever he may say on any Eubject will be accepted by the people a s the truth. So famous a remedy as Peruna could not have well escaped the attention of s o famous a man. He not o n l y has heard of the remedy, but he has used It and was relieved of an affliction of twenty-five years' standing. Peruna is the one internal remedy that cures chronic catarrh. It cures catarrh wherever located. This is a fact that the people are rapidly finding out, but there are still a large multitude who need to know I t Mr. Frank Rlchter, of Winona, Minn., says In a letter to The Peruna Medicine Company: "As a remedy for catarrh I take pleasure in recommending Peruna for catarrh of the stomach. I know what it is to be afflicted with this awful disease and consider it my duty to say A word in behalf of the remedy which gave me such relief. Peruna cured me, a n d I know It will cure any one else w h o suffers from this disease. It givea m e great pleasure to testify to the curative effects of this medicine. Peruna Is a well tested and frequently used remedy, and for catarrh of the stomach it Is unsurpassed. "My catarrh was principally located In m y head and stomach. I tried many remedies without success. I tried several doctors but they were unable to cure me. I read of Peruna in the papers and five hatUa* cured me."— Frank Rlchter. The gastric Jrrice is secreted by the mucous fpUtcles of the stomach. When t h i s jafcfe Is normal it digests (dissolves) t h e food without producing any disturbance whatever. If, however, the gastric Juice is not normal, digestion causes many disagreeable symptoms. T h i s condition Is known as indigestion. Mrs. Sellna Tanner, Athens, 0 . , writes: "I cannot find words to express my thanks tor your kind advice. I never once thought I had catarrh of the stomach. I commenced taking Peruna as you directed. My stomach continued to hurt me for about two weeks after I began the medicine a n d then it stopped. I now have a good appetite w h i l e before I w a s nearly starved." —Mrs. Selina Tanner. Mr. L. O. Marble, of Geneva, Neb., writes: "I do believe that my catarrh Is entirely cured. I have not had any trouble with my stomach for a long time. I am as well as one of my age could expect (seventy years). I have had the catarrh ever since I was a young man, and have doctored for It for years and got very little better, but thanks to you and your Peruna and Manalln I believe I am well of i t I can eat anything now and It doesn't hurt me, and Peruna is the only thing I have ever found that will cure the catarrh. I believe it Is the only cure for catarrh, and I hope every one troubled with catarrh will try Peruna and be cured."—L, O. Marble.

Interest in the capture and fate of Aguinaido is well nigh overshadowed in Manila by sensational developments present and prospective, of frauds in the commissary department. How widely these extend has not yet been ascertained, but enough is already known to justify the belief that they are far-reaching. Capt. F. J. Barrows of the 30th volunteer infantry, quartermaster of the department of southern Luzon, together w i t h seven commissary sergeants, several civilian clerks, a prominent government contractor, the assistant manager of the Hotel Oriente. the proprietors of three of the largest bakeries in Manila, a number of storekeepers and other persons have been arrested. The investigation has scarcely begun, but thousands of sacks of flour, a quantity of bacon and wagon loads of other goods, all bearing government marks, have been found in possession of unauthorized persons. It is alleged that the contractor in question, who has been doing a business approximating $100,- 000 per month, has spent huge sums in entertaining officers. The navy department on Mar. 31 received a cablegram from Admiral Remey. commander-in-chief of the Asiatic station, giving a brief account of a fire in the sail room of the gunboat Petrel and of the death of the commanding officer, Lieut.-Com. Jesse M. Roper as a result of an heroic effort to rescue the men below. The dispatch also shows that 22 other officers and men were prostrated, but all are recovering. Since the capture of Aguinaido two large surrenders and many smaller ones have occurred. The two important surrenders was that of Gen. Geronimo, the insurgent leader in the province of Morong-Luzon, with 6 officers, 40 men and 50 rifles; Sutnulao. Mindanao, fl officers, 100 men, 1ST rifles and SO shotguns. It is altogether probable that Ag* uninaldo will be deported from the Philippines. A report from Washington says that Gen. Funston has been made a brigudier- general.

She goes to her family physician and tefls him a story, but not the whole story. She holds back something, loses her head, becomes agitated, forgets what she wants to say, and finally conceals what she ought to have told, and this completely mystifies the doctor. Is it a wonder, therefore, that tho doctor fails to cure the disease ? Still we cannot blame the woman, for it is very embarrassing to detail some of the symptoms of her suffering, even to her family physician. This is t h e reason why hundreds of thousands of w o m e n are n o w i n corre* spondence w i t h Mrs. P i a k h a m , at Lynn, Mass. To her they can give every symptom, so that when she is ready to advise them she is in possession of more facts from her correspondence with the patient than the physician can possibly obtain through a personal interview. Following we publish a letter from a woman showing tbe result of a correspondence with Mrs. Pinkham. All such letters are considered absolutely confidential by Mrs. Pinkham, and are never published in any way or manner without the consent in writing of the patient jbut hundreds of women are so grateful for the health which Mrs. Pinkham and her medicine have been able to restore to them that they not only consent to publishing their letters, but write asking that this be done in order that other women who suffer may be benefited by their experience. Mrs. Ella Rice, Chelsea, Wis., writes: " D S A B MRS. PraKHjLM:—For t w o years I was troubled w i t h falling and inflammation of the womb.

Before the 60 s whiskey was made by all the country distilleries from rye and sold for 25c a gallon. After Mr. Lincoln got into the White House, he found the treasury in such a condition - he had to tax everything taxable, and one thing was whiskey. That went up to $2 a gallon. The saloon- keeper was at his wit's end; he couldn't sell a glass of whisky for the old price and pay that tax. But the druggist came to his relief. I was then H traveling man, nay route being from Chicago to Omaha by the Rock Island. At one town I stopped at the depot and the agent told me he had recieved a package in his offic" one afternoon for a saloon-keeper in that town from a druggist in Chicago, and (That it was in very bad condition, looked as if it had been opened. Upon investigation he had found it to contain four packages, all labeled "Poison." The bill of cost was £6, and attached to the bill was a foot note in which the druggist said, "If yon will put these four powders into your whiskey barrel and~~~fill it full of water I will guarantee you as good a barrel of whiskey as you ever had in your house." And I was told a few days ago that the saloonkeeper makes all his own whiskey nowadays. -Respectively, Austin, 111. :s F. PAGE. ar Department at the Pan-American Exposition. When the Exposition opens for its six months' season at Buffalo on May 1 of this year, the early visitor will find the largest aud most powerful guardians of our seaeoasts ever exhibited by the United States Government. Even the smaller of the two great new guns in the Government exhibit nt the Exposition will be larger than any ever before displayed by our Uncle Samuel. Captain Peter C. Harris, who represents the War Department, in charge of the entire war exhibit, has been engaged actively for months upon his great work of collecting the newest display of the kind ever made in this country. It was an absurd question perhaps that I asked when I Inquired if his exhibits would be ready on May 1, as though there were any other alternative for a soldier. The Captain looked reprovingly at mo. But of the guns—great guns, indeed; big around as a locomotive boiler, thirty odd feet long, with a more savage muzzle than ever coughed destruction upon any hostile fleet; built with the accuracy of a watch; so delicate in adjustment that a little finger may traverse the gun. thus moving a weight of nearly half a million pounds, yet a machine to spout a volcano blast and to ' create an earthquake at the will of man! j The big gun of which I speak is a United States Army twelve-inch breecbloading rifle, model of 1S95, mounted upon a disappearing carriage. Its weight, stripped of everything, e v e n - t h e breech block, is 115,000 pounds. Its total length is 3G 88-100 feet The maximum diameter at the breech is 44.5 inches. It throws an armor piercing shot weighing 1,000 pounds, the length of which Is three and one half feet. It also throws a projectile, an armor piercing shell weighing j 1,000 pounds, four feet long, carrying a bursting charge of 39.4 pounds of gun cotton. The charge of powder Is 240 pounds of smokeless or 490 pounds of brown prismatic powder. The muzzle velocity of the projectiles under the above conditions is 2,300 feet per second, with a maximum pressure per Bquare Inch of 87,000 pounds. The muzzle energy is 30,671 foot tons. The power of penetration in steel at the muzzle Is 30.0 inches, at 1,000 yards 28.5 inches, at 2,500 yards 25.5 inches and at 3,500 yards 23.5 inches. The total weight of the gun and carriage t* ¢77,009 pounds. The carriage is twenwrecked in b o d y and m i n d , r u i n e d jty-flve feet in diameter at the base, and the gun when in firing position is seventeen feet above the base of the carriage. When the shot is fired, the recoil causes the mechanism to lower the gun seven and one-half feet behind the parapet. The gun has an accuracy of aim for about eight miles, and the extreme range is about double that distance.

The mounting of these mammoth pteces of ordnauce has been in the immediate charge ot Lieutenant R. II. C. Ketton and a small detail of artilleryman. To enable the observer readily to make an intelligent comparison of the mounts of our seacoast guns Captain Harris has caused to be placed by the side of the great twelve-Inch gun a ten- 1qgh rifle on a barbette carriage. In a NJRwfte carriage the rifle is at all tWJtoi exposed above the parapet, The readier may remember the discussion on the subject between General Miles and the Ordnance Board, the general not favoring the disappearing device, chiefly on account of its complicated mechanism and its liability to got out of order. Each carriage appears to have Its particular use. On elevated sites the parapet furnishes all the protection required, but on a flat coast the disappearing would seen to possess very great advantage. It Is thought that on low sites the rifle must be mounted either on a disappearing carriage or In a turret. The expense of a. turret is estimated at about four and a half times the cost of the disappearing carriage. TO Cure a Cold in One Day- Take Laxative Bromo Quinine Tablets.

The Endicott Board on Ordnance and Fortifications a number of years ago decided in favor of the disappearing carriage, and the department has been laboring to obtatn a satisfactory one. The one suowu at the Fau-Ameriean Exposition is considered tbe most perfect in tbe world. The ten-inch breecbloading rifle is from the model of ISO.J and weighs 00,- 700 pounds. Its total length is <10,76 feet, and the diameter of the breech is thirty-seven inches. The projectile is an armor piercing shot or shell. ^Tbe shell carries a bursting charge of*22.4 pounds of gun cotton and weighs 075 pounds, having a length of four feet. Tbe solid shot is three and one-half feet long. The powder charge is 140 pounds of smokeless powder, and the muzzle velocity of the projectile is 2.300 feet in a second. The maximum pressure per square inch is 37,000 pounds. The muzzle energy with the charge of smokeless powder is 21.080 foot tons. Tbe gun has a penetrating .power of twenty Inches In steel at 2,500 yards. At the right of the ten-inch gun a twelve-inch mortar has been mounted, and it is no small affair. Farther to the right is a five-Inch rapid Are gun. Ail are mounted behind sections of a parapet, and me iuu/ Dlr^s renr^sent one gun oi eaen type useo in seacoast rorofications. To the left of the great twelve-Inch disappearing gun will be exhibited the old seacoast ordnance of the United States, arranged in a historical series, the twelve-Inch gun Itself representing the climax. Near the small building specially constructed for this purpose will be displayed the mountain, held and siege guns of the present day, together with types of old guns used in the different wars in which the United States have been engaged. The Ordnance exhibit will show the historical development of ordnance in tbe United States, a gun representing every type adopted by the United States and showing tbe evolution of guns, mortars and howitzers. Among fhe howitzers will be one made in 1793. There will also be thirty or forty trophy guns, displayed according to per'- od of capture. A novel feature will be a trophy fountain, representing a bursting shell, with water spouting from Its crevices. This wifl be mounted on«3a pile of projectiles, surrounded by trophy guns. The largest guns mounted in any of our seacoast batteries during the war of 1S1U were twenty-four pounders, the diameter of bore being less than six inches and the weight of guns 5,500 pounds. They were a little over ten feet long, and the powder charge was six and eight pounds of black powder. They were mounted upon wooden carriages. In 1821) the thirty-two pounder, with a caliber of G.41 inches, using a charge of eight to ten pounds of bl.4>.-k powder, was adopted, and in 1831 the forty-two pounder, with a caliber of seven inches and using ten t6 fourteen pounds of black powder, came iii'to use. In 1844 the eight and ten inch Columbiads fired a shot weighing sixty-five pounds and used a charge of ten to fifteen pounds of black powder. The ten- Inch shot weigher! 120 pounds, and the powder charge was eighteen and twenty pounds. t In 1801 the first rifteen-Inch Rodman gun was cast. These guns were smoothbores of cast iron. Tbe process of manufacture-was evolved by General Rodman, who, to prevent injurious strains produced by cooling castings from the exterior, cast these guns on a hollow core and cooled by a stream of water or air passing through the core. Rodman's flfteen-inch gun fired a shot weighing 428,pounds with a charge of forty pounds of black pow der and was the first great gun Introduced in modern times In nuy service. Just before .the Civil War rifled muskets and guns began to displace smoothbores. Captain Parrott's rifles were tbe first ones of large-caliber used in the United States service. The largest of these had an eight and tea inch none and w<nf cart hpltor and cooled" from the• interior on tne «oaman plan. They were strengthened by shrinking a coiled band of wrought Iron over that portion of the gun which surrounds the powder charge. The ! eight-inch Parrott rifle fired an elon- ! gated projectile weighing 150 pounds i with a charge of sixteen pounds of Vlack powder. The ten-inch rifle fired a 250,pound elongated projectile with twenty-tive pounds of powder. Inside of the main Government building will be exhibited tbe machine guns J of all kinds, including the automatic 'gun now being used by the United j States Army in tbe Philippines and China; also several hundred small arms, showing tbe development of j these arms from the match lock, wheel | lock, flint lock and percussion cap lock j to the breecbloading magazine small ; arms of today. j In tbe Engineering section of the (War Department will be exhtblted 1 models of engineering work, both military and those constructed by our Engineer Corps In the river and harbor work. Among the latter will be models of the breakwater being constructed in Buffalo harbor. A very interesting collection of models of engineer Ing work on the Mississippi River will also be displayed.

ANDREWS, Publisher. PINCKNEY, • " • MICHIGAN. The prediction is made that the severe winter in the north woods of the Adirondack mountains has killed mare deer than hunters made away with last fall. A stage wedding of two members of a burlesque troupe was announced to he performed in a Washington theater, but the high contracting parties found It impossible to secure the services of a person competent- to perform the ceremony. The Rev. John Naile of Trappe, Pa., recently celebrated the- 100th anniversary of bis birth. He was born near Westminster, Ind.. February IS, 1S01, a»d is probably the oldest clergyman in the United States. Mr. Nailo was ordained at the age of 40. Senate document No. 177 gives a report of tests of fireproof woods from the torpedo-boat Winslow, the purpose being to determine whether the process is enduring. The result was very satisfactory, showiDg that the wood treated five years ago had lost none of its fireproof qualities. While cutting up a poplar at his saw mill in Lee county, Va., C. R. Kesterton found an augur hole plugged by a pin. On removing the pin he found in the hole five $20 gold pieces bearing dates between 1850 and I860. The coins are supposed to have besn hid there for safe keeping during the civil war. While Mr. Carnegie was depleting his fortune by $5,200,000 for libraries in New York, Mr. John D. Rockefeller was increasing his by ¢6,200,000, representing a single quarterly dividend on his Standard Oil stock. If Mr. Rockefeller wanted to get rid of his Drofits on that stock alone he would have to build about one $80,000 library a day. Out of 534,922,644 contributed in 19C0 by charitable persons in the Unite.l States to educational institutions only a little more than $1,000,000 was giv?c to southern schools and colleges. Th!s amount includes donations for mstiti^ tions intended for the exclusive instruction of both whites and blacks, and but a small part of it came from the hands of northern givers. The billposters' association of England exercises a censorship over the posters appearing on the Londcn hoardings. A recent case w a i thi poster of the play "Greed of Gold." The scene pictured showed a w c m a i in the foreground, in light atf.re, with her throat cut. All the members cf the association refused to post it. The duties of the censors are said to b: exercised with tact and discrimination. The fate which seems to come to all communistic colonies has overtaken the Altruistic association formed about a year ago near Burlington, N. J. The plan of the promoters was to form a settlement where there should ,be no police or magisterial system and no laws or rules save those of court?sy. The novelty of farm life soon wore off, and many of the colonists returned to the busy world, where pay wa3 better and life more exciting. Mrs. Ella Downey of Fontanelle. la., seeks divorce on, altogether unpr:cedented grounds. Her husband. Frank Downey, suffered the amputation of r n arm last fall and has k e p t t h e dismembered limb ever since.. Ttrt5~w;?s bsd enough, but whenever he gets in a tantrum he brandiishes it around t v e house, knocking dishes off the tabl? and beating the dog with it, thereby severely shocking his wife's nervou? system. Wherefore the lady seek3 separation and alimony.. It has long been a disputed question whether America w a s peopled from Asia. The chief argument against the theory that man made his approach to this continent across Bering strait has been the lack of resemblance in culture between the aborigines of this country and the known races of Asia. This may be accounted for, a Washington scientist maintains, by the fact that all the Asiatic arts and customs would in the course of generations have been frozen out of any migratory peoples In their getting around Bering strait. As the tribes moved northward they would lose the characteristics of their life, one after another, notably agriculture and domestic animals, until finally, pressing near t h e polar circle their whole energies would be absorbed in finding food and keeping warm. With his culture thus fatten out, according t o this theory, early man crossed Bering strait, and as he moved southward on this continent developed Improved ways of living, but after such a long interval of time that the oew customs were entirely distinct from tbefte of Asia.

How to stay the advance of "Creeping Joe" is the problem that is bothering the authorities of Manistee, and unless it can be solved the city water works plant and a number of handsome residences will before many years be buried in sand. "Creeping Joe" is the local name of a high ridge of sand which extends along the shore of Lake Michigan the whole length of that city. The winds from Lake Michigan are continually blowing the sand from the top of the ridge down the inland »side of it, and blowing other sand from the wido beach up to the summit, with the result that the ridge is steadily traveling further and further from the shore. At present it separates the residence portion of the city from the water front, and has advanced so far that several residences will have t o be removed or else abandoned to bo buried by the sand. The city's water works plant is in the same predicament Away back in the days when Manistee w a s a village, a cemetery w a s platted at the top of the hill and quite a number of burials made there. Several years ago the city authorities, anticipating that the action of the wind on the sand would before long disinter the bodies, exhumed as many of them ns could be found and transferred them to the present cemetery. Many of them, however, could not be located, and the unusually severe storms of the past winter have uncovered some of these, so that the bones lie scattered about on the surface of the ground. Cyclones Commencing Karly. A territic and destructive cyclone passed near Vicksburg and through Emmett, Scott's Station and Pavilion, about nine miles southeast of Kalamazoo, at noon on the -.Mb.

When the good ship "Port Philip" -came galling home from Australia to England many an anxious parent or lover or friend awaited her arrival upon the harbor pier, eager to welcome those who had been so Ions absent, and who were now returning to leave their native lard no more. Moat of these wanderers had left their home and friends in search of gold. Some had been successful, and were returning in the first flush of victorious pride, some had failed and were coming back like the prodigal son uf old, willing to eat even the crumbs that might fall from the paternal table, so that the diet of the empty husks in a far land should be theirs no more. Some were strong and happy, some were ill and sad; but for all alike a welcome was waiting the moment they touched the land. For all, did I say? There was one on board for whose antral no friend was watching, one who came unnoticed and unknown to the land of his birth, one for whom no home more genial than ah inn would open wide its doors. Among the eager and excited throng who talked to themselves and each other of the friends they hoped to see, he stood a silent listener, with no story of the kind to offer in return. When they landed at last, his late companions were lost to his view among groups of relations and acquaintances, but not a hand was outstretched, not a voice was raised to welcome him. He stood a few moments watching the interchange of greetings, the prayers, the tears of grateful Joy, then turned away with quivering lips'and moistened eyes. "Shall I never be missed, never be mourned over like that?" was his thought as he passed from the pier to the busy streets, and made the, 'best of his way to a hotel, to which he had been recommended by the captain of his ship. "Three and twenty years old, and the world before me! That sounds well, but when I know that the world contains no love, no home, no happiness, that I may honestly claim—Ah, well, "never mind! I'm not going to be a baby, and cry for the moon; so, adieu to sentiment of every kind, while I drop anchor in this bustling town. Hero is, the 'Eagle* right before me, and for the sum of one guinea I can purchase smiles without'number from the worthy host." So saying, he entered the "Eagle" and ordered his dinner. But sad thoughts still seemed to haunt him, and when the repast had been cleared away he sat brooding over the fire, biting rather than smoking his cigar, and pulling the ends of his moustache with a frown. At last some memory of the past touched him too keenly. He brofca Into a bitter laugh. "The fool I was when I was young!" he thought to himself. "How well I remember tne wild dreams that kept me company when I began the race! What wonderful things I was to accomplish then! How soon I was to build my fortune! How I was going about doing good, comforting the sad, reliewing the poor, raising up the oppressed. Howsoon I accomplished all those schemes! How much better tho world must be to-day because I have lived In itr* His face grew still more sad, as he mused. "I laugh at th«ise things now, and yet it mokes me unhappy. That would have been a beautiful life If I could but have lived it. Iwould rather have the heart of those days that could plan the scheme than this I must now own that can only ridicule it! But the young romance has gone. It haunts me no longer. My nature is as barren and worldly as—as even she could desire." There It was you see. That irrepressible "she" who Is sure to be at the bottom of every perplexity and trouble a man con know. He tugged at his moustache fiercely, and flung his cigar in the grate. "I can^see the place now as if in a dream." he groaned. "Those hills and distant mountains; that calm sky, so 'darkly, deeply, beautifully blue,' the sheep upon the hill side, and the cattle la the pasture chewing the cud lazily, and lying still to feel the warmth! And that other day, a week later, when the sky was heavy with rain. A chill, raw wind blew from those kills* the roadway wet and sodden; sa was the glen, through all its fallen leaves, YeV she stood there, bright and gay, and testiest and happy. 1 She let the wind blow through her carts, the lifted her face to catch the fallen rain. Great heaven! how beautiful she was! And I have lost her—I shall nertr tee her again!" He groaned:,' ana covered his faee with Mi hand*. Five minutes * & & * $ & $ & & —then ho started from his seat. "This won't do," he ejaculated. "Byron says: " 'Man, being reasonable, must get drunk.' A I agree with him; but one can't well get drunk before the orthodox hours of 10 or 11 .p.. m. Then no one minds it. It Is now 6 o'clock—four hours before I can carry out the Byronic thoory. I know what I'll do. I'll go to town and see my uncle and my little pet, Rose." He rang the bell for a time-tablefound that an express train started for London at halt' past 6. At that time to a minute he was on his way to Mr. Cowley's house In Mscklenburg S<y.:are. CHAPTER VII. "Tea is ready, if you please, Mrs. Magnum." At that announcement, made in a very clear yet pleasant voice, Mrs. Magnum started out of her nap, which she had been enjoying in the depths of her velvet chair, rubbed her eyes, and' looked up at a young lady who stood on the hearth-rug, a few paces from her. "Eh? What did you say, Mis3 Marjorie?" she asked, sharply. "Tea is ready," replied Mis3 Marjorie, taking her seat at the head of the table as she spok3. "Humph," muttered Mrs. Magnum, eyeing her with a~sour look: of dissatisfaction. "Well," you may pour me out a cup. But where is Mr. Magnum, and Julius, and dear Kate? It Is really extraordinary, that when I am so punctual myself, everyone belonging to mo should be perfectly unable to understand the value of time, or come to their meals at the proper hours. 1 am sure, when I was a girl, my mamma wov.ld have—" What her mamma would have don? in a similar state of things Miss Marjorie never knew, for at that moment the door opened, and a corpulent, rodfaced, gocd-humored looking man entered, closely toll-owed by a stupidlooking boy of 12. The young la?y subsided into a graceful attitude upen the scfa; tin boy established himself at Miss Marjorie's; e*bow, and beg^n an indiscriminate assault upon the eatables; but Mr. Magnum dutifully supplied his wife with a cup of tea and plate of bread and butter before beginning his own meal, which he took at the small table which always stood beside her easy chair. "Well, my dear," he said, c^aerfully, "how has the world used you to-day?" "As usual," was the whining re?ly. "Tho neuralgia any better?" "No, my dear." "And the headache?" "As bad as ever." "Dear! dear!" said Mr. Magnum, sympathising. Mrs. Magnum sighed and leaned her head upon her hand. She was the invalid of the family. From early morn to dewy eve sho sat in her velvet chair; and during nine months of tho year, before a fire hot enough to roast an ox. The atmosphere of the parlor wss so stifling as to make a stranger i'eel faint after breathing it for five minutes at a time; but Mr. Magnum and his son and daughter inhaled it contentedly enough. Miss Marjorle, indeed, was constantly troubled with giddiness and determination of blood to the head; but she was only a companion, and no one paid much attention to her ailments, unless they were of an obstinately intrusive kind. So, through ths sharp winter the double windows of the parlor were closed and padded, and list was nailed around the doors, and sand bags laid at every crack and crevice, lest a breath of cold air should by any chance steal through; and the invalid, basking before ths pilei-up grate.dozcd and ate. and drank.through the short days and long evenings, till the light and hsat of summer forced her to live a little less liks a salamander and a little more like an ordinary human being. Mr. Magnum was a retir:d ironmonger, who had made money enough out of his pots and koitles to leave, them forever in his fifty-fifth year. It had been his father's business before him, and he had started therein at the ag> of 21 with the snug sum of one thousand pounds as pocket money, to say nothing of a trade connection extending half over the Black County. Yet, in speaking of thr*eariler part of his life he was accustomed to allude to himself pathetically as a "poor orphan," and to hln-t mysteriously at terrible hardships undergone by h i m - leaving you to infer that those hardships had been surmounted by him alone, without the tUghtett aid. The story had a somewhat ludicrous effect Fata you gated at tot* face of the ~...i*jQYt and beard the puffing sighs with whteh -his coeetty compelled him over to interlard i t Certainly no one looked less Hk9 a "poor orphan" than he. Tea was at length over. Mrs. Magnum ne^itled herself into the easiest corner of her easy chair. Julius went out; the fair Kitty began to crochet, and Mr. Magnum read the dally paper laboriously aloud jf any one listencd to political speeches and stock lists it was not Mtss Marjorle. She sat in a far comer of the room, ostensibly engaged in correcting a French exercise of Miss Kitty's, but really thinking of a time and a person far, far away. At last Mr. Magnum put down his papsr and turned to his wifs, with the air of one who hag a secret of importance to reveal. "My dear, who do you think I met at the works to-day?" "How should 1 «know?" replied Mrs. Magnum, somewhat testily. "Some horrid ironmaster, I presume." "No, my love—quite a different person. A banker. You must remember hearing me speak of him. Mr. Cowley, of Mecklenburg Square." Miss Marjorle looked up, flushed and agitated, from her drawing, but no one heeded her. "Mr. Cowley," replied Mrs. Magnum, slowly. "Yes, I remember hearing you speak of him. What is he doing here?" "You would never guess, my love. He has a house." "In this neighborhood?" "Yes, within a mile of U3." "But what house can there be to let so near? I know of tone. Do you, Kitty, darling?" "No, mamma." "Yes you do, both of you," replied Mr. Magnum; triumphantly. "Only it is just the last housa any one in their senses would, think of taking. It is Hollow Ash Hall." "What!" exclaimed Mr3. Magnum, from amons her cushions. "It is true, my love. Cowley has taken it." "Is he mod?" "No—quite sane." "How Ions is he to star?" "I can't say, my dear. I only saw him ?. moment." "Who is with him"" "Hie wife and two daughters." "Tl'sn they must be mai!" "So I should say," replied Kitty darling trom her s^fa. "I never hoard of such a thing, Mr. Magnum." "Nor any one else, my love. All Banle7 is wild about it." "Quite likely." "Cowley says it will do coo^-" "How?" "He thinks that people will net be afraid of the place after any one ha^ lived i- «t." "Stuff and nonsense!" "So I say, my dear." "How leng have they boon there?" "Nearly a west." "Have they seen anything?" "Well, to tell tho truth, 1 asked him thnt." "What did he say?" "Just what you said a moment agr\" "VTxat?" "Stuff a»d nonsense!" "Ah, bv.t t'.id he mean it?" "I thin&so. He was quite cho;t with me'becar.3e I irsked." "What did he want at the works?" inquired Mrs. Magnum, after a moment's pause.

Aaninalde) Captured. Geo. Funston'* daring project for the capture of Aguinaldo in his hiding place in the province of Isabels, Island of Luzon, has proved completely successful. Afruinaldo was captured there March 2?>. The United States gunboat Vicksburg with Gen. Funston and Agmnaldo on board, arrived at Manila on the 03th. In January1 Aguinaldo, from his hiding place, wrote letters anathematizing the Filipinos who had taken the oath of allegiance to the U. S. Later he order certain rebel forces in southern Luzon to join him. The rebel officer intrusted with these orders scpretly negotiated with the Americans and Gen. Funston planned the capture of the rebel chieftain, and started out with Surgeon-Major Harris, Capt Newton of the 34th infantry, six vetorao scouts and a company of native scouts on the jjuuboat Vicusburg. The force was landed on a remote beach above Baler, since which time they have not been heard from until the news of the capture. Later—It is now probable that Aguinaldo will advise a general surrender, the delivery of arms and the acceptance of American sympathy. RoMfa Fane* Grave Revolt Against Csar. Sedition is rampant in l&ussia, and extraordinary precautions to protect tho life of the cz?\r have been taken. Censorship at St. Petersburg and other important po.nts of telegraphic communication Has practically reached the prohibitive point as far as the present disturbances are cooeerned, but maii advices received tend to prove that the empire in on the ver<je of revolution. Everything goes to show the existence of a grisrantic Nihilist plot, beside which the clashes between students and Cossacks pale intoinsigni8cance, although undoubtedly ramifications of the same movement.

Terrible Mine Kxploalon. The first and most fatal mine explosion to occur in the new Klondike region of Fayette county, Pa., happened on the 25th. One man was killed inatantly, five will die and 10 are burned and crushed so terribly that it is doubtful if they will recover. The body of the dead man is missing, toe injured men have been taken to the hospital at ConaellavUkev mad as a result of the exnUsloa the mine la on firs. ing lands of Western Canada. Tens of thousands have taken advantage of the offer made by the Canadian government as well as of the exceedingly low prices asked for lands by the railway, colonization and other companies. The experience of those who have been settled there for some little time is of a highly gratifying character. So much so that the Canadian government, who has control of the immigration into Western Canada, has decided to open up some new districts this year in the well -known Saskatchewan Valley and also in the fertile plains of Assiniboia. These Districts are probably the most productive in the entire West and in close touch to largely settled communities as well as beins situated on some of the most important lines of railway. They are within easy reach of markets, schools, ctiurcnes and other Bocial advantages. In some of these districts lands may be homesteaded as well as purchased outright at very low prices. Now as to what can be done on these lands. The evidence of the settlers in the neighborhood of the lands now about to be opened for settlement (.some of them being, located in one of the best Indian Reservations) goes to show that the very best results have followed even most indifferent methods. Case3 are given where farmers having gone there with most limited means, barely enough to erect a small house and break up a little land, have in three or four years time become prosperous, all debts paid and money In the bank. The soil In the Districts Mentioned, Assiniboia and Saskatchewan, is a rich black loam, fifteen inches to thiee feet deep. A s a settler says, "It appears like the accumulation of decayed vegetation and ashes for centuries (.the sub-soil is a stiff, putty clay)." On this soil it is possible to raise from 40 to 50 bushels of wheat to the acre, oat3 75 to 100 bushels, all of which bring good prices at the local market. For mixed farming these new districts are probably among the best in Western Canada. Stock fatten easily on the wild grasses. Hey is plentiful, and prices splendid. Ano.her Battler writing to a friend in Iowa says: "The climate is all that could be desired, plenty of rainfall in summer, with no hot, dry winds. On the 28th of September I saw prairie flowers in full bloom, sweet com. potato and tomato vines that aad not been touched a particle with frost; and the w.nters are milder than these in the State from which I came. After the holidays the winter sets in clear and cold, witn plenty of snow fcr good sleighing; no high winds or blizzards are known. Horses live out all winter and pick their own living, while cattle live all winter in open sheds and around the hay ricks. Wheat, oats and baney are the principal grain crops. .Potatoes and all other roots and vegetables do well, the yield being enormous as compared to those In the States. Wile* fruits, such as strawberries, raspberries, cranberries, gooseberries and al< varieties of currants yield in abundance. As a reader of your valuable paper for a number of years, I feel that I should inform you of the progress and advancement being made in Canada within the paot few years, and th9 inducements and advantages that will follow settlement in Western Canada. Those who desire information can do as I did, and apply to any Agent ot the Canadian Government, wncse name I see appears In advertisements appearing elsewhere in the columns of your paper, and when writing ask particularly aoout the Saskatchewan Valley* or Assiniboia Districts.

It is a squalid tenement house—or worse yet—a poverty-stricken apartment— one room- in a squalid tenement house— located in the poorest, dirtiest and most unhealthiul precinct of a big city. It is a breeding pen for germs that carry contagion, disease and death. It is at once a kitchen, a dining-room and a sleeping-room. Sometimes its occupants number four—and sometimes eight and ten—half-starved, emaciated men, women and children—and their principal employment is tailoring ( ? ) — piece-workers on garments sent them by Tailoring houses and clothing manufacturers. We breathe freer when we recall the fact that we sell tailoring made by— The Royal Tailors, of Chicago-—a world famous tailoring house—a house that employs no " "sweat-shop" labor—a house carrying on its "entire business in a mammoth sanitary building on Chicago's beautiful Michigan Boulevard. We have just received from this house nearly six hundred exquisite patterns in Spring and Summer Suitings of Foreign and Domestic Weave, Something to please everybody — cut to individual measurements—for both m i n and boys-r—at the lowest prices e$$z quoted for high grade merchant tailoring. l ri- Royal Tailoring is good and wholesome, and is sold under a guaranty which insures :ion of style, fit and workmanship.

Ticket is PLURALITY IS OVER 67,000. •Indications are That Both Constitution*! Amendments Have Been Lost—The Van Daren County Seat Fl*nt Resulted In a Victory for Paw Paw. RepnbUcaaa Win in the State. Voters throughout the state were apathetic on the 1st and their indifference resulted in a light vote being polled. Jurtice Robert M. Montgom- <ery is re-elected to the supreme court teach by a plurality of more than 67,- 00a The Republican candidates for regents of the University of Michigan, Prank W. Fletcher, of Alpena, and Henry W. Carey, of Manistee, will not run far behind the head of the ticket From meager reports received it is more than probable that the legislative salary and the Bay county court amendments to the constitution were defeated. For the state ticket Wayne county w e n t overwhelmingly Republican. Montgomery, for supreme court justice, and Fletcher and Carey for regents of the university, carried every ward in the city. Probably the most interesting fight in the state was over the Van Buren county s e a t According to returns i*aw Paw wins a victory by 500 votes. More votes were cast in this county ^han at a presidential election. •100,000 Fire at Detroit. The Detroit plant of the American Radiator Co., located in the northeastern part of Detroit, was visited by a disastrous fire on the night of the 5th. F. W. Hodges, manager of the plant, «ays it is difficult at this writing to give any satisfactory estimate of the loss, but h e placed the damage at some where near f 100,000, and he thought the loss was fully covered by insurance., The fire started in the machine shop and spread to the warerooms, pattern shop, carpenter shop and tool room, which were all in the same building. This building, with the machinery and stock it contained, was a total wreck, but the foundry, which w a s separated from it only by a narrow alley at the east end and the power house a t the west end, were saved. The plant covers about seven acres of ground and the building that was destroyed extended east and west along the south line of the property. i t was a one-story brick structure, erected about 10 .veir* ago, and was 000 feet in length by 113 feet in breadth. Exciting; Elect&n at Jerome. The people of Jerome have voted -against the consolidation of their four school districts, and the result of the vote has been sent to Lansing in the hope that the consolidation act will be repealed before the legislature adjourns. The act was slipped through the legislature early in the session, and when its provisions became generally known a howl of indignation arose. A most bitter feeling was engendered, and finally as a compromise a local election was ordered at which die wildest excitement prevailed. Women were taken from sick beds and icarried to the polls to vote. Men •called each other liars and other harsh names, and several fist fights were prevented with difficulty. Home for Feeble Minded to SmalL Notwithstanding the recent opening a t Lapeer of a cottage which aecom- •tnodates 100 epileptics, the pressure for admission to the state home for the feeble minded and epileptic is,, very great and it promises to continue for years to come nnless the scope of the institution is greatly enlarged.

IF every one in the world were healthy and happy what a glad day Easter would ' be. But t*a sun rises every Easter morning on a multitude of sick and afflict" fid The Easter lilies gladden the hearts of the sick and well alike. But to the sick something more than the Easter lily Is necessary to bring that hope and cheer which every one expects on Easter day. The well need no physician, but ihe sick need a remedy. Nearly one-half the people In the United States are suffering from some form or phase of catarrhal ailment These ailments take different forms at different seasons of the yean In the springtime catarrh assumes a systemic form, producing nervousness, lassitude and general languor. Systemic catarrh deranges the digestion and through deranged digestion it impoverishes or contaminates the blood. Thus we have blood diseases and nervous derangements through systemic catarrh. * Peruna is a specific for these cases. No other remedy yet devised by the medical profession is able, to successfully meet so many phases of spring ailments as Peruna. } Men and women everywhere are praising Peruna as follows: A First Class Tonic Wm. A. Collier, Assistant Paymaster U. S.N., write*: "I have taken Peruna and recommend It to those needing a tlnOeiau tonic " A Great Tonic Hon. M. C Butler, Ex-U. S. Senator and Ex-Qovernor of South Carolina, writes from Edgefield, S. C: **t have been using Peruna tor a short period and I feel very much relieved. It Is in~ deed a wonderful medklne and besides a great tonic" Splendid tor the Nerves.- Robert B. Mantell, the tamous actor, writes from New York City: "Peruna is splendid and most Invigorating— refreshing to the nerves and brain." For General Debility, Hon. Jno. V.

John Chinaman'* Limited Chance. The life of a Chinaman is circumscribed. He can have no genuine ambition. He can never climb the ladder of fame or fortune without dragging his clan with him. There Is no such thing as starting as an office hoy and ending as the president of a railroad, or of beginning life as a newsboy and rounding off his career as the governor of a province. There is no such a thing as a son attaining a fortune in trade and living in a city mansion while his aged father Uvea on the old farm and rejoices in still being independent of his son's help. The boy choses neither his occupation nor-his home nor his bride nor his companions. They are all prepared for him and he never dreams of acting independently in anything.—Gunton's Magazine. •I 04reera* Blreeisnaeelatns.

Mr. W. R. Corser, of Higginsville, Lafayette Co., Mo., was a delegate there during last summer, and writing of his impressions he says: "I found surprising yields of grain cf all descriptions. One farmer I visited threshed of 175 acres: "600 bushels of wheat from fifteen acres, 40 bushels to acre. , "600 bushels o * barley from tea acres, 60 bushels to acre. "15,000 bushels of oats from 150 acres, 100 bushels to acre. "The samples were all No. 1. "I also saw a considerable number of stock. Swine do well and there is no disease amongst them. They are a good source of income to the farmer. The cattle on the range beat anything I ever saw. Fat and ready for beef, fully matured and ripened on the nutritious grasses of the prairie. I am firmly convinced that this country offers better facilities for a poor man than any I have ever seen." information concerning these lands can be had from any agent of the government whose advertisement appears elsewhere in this paper. , There is more Catarrh in this section of the country than all other dtaaaaea put together, and until the last few years was supposed to be incurable y o r a great many-yawXbotonvrooouaeed it a TbcaTdlaease, and prescribed local remedies, and by constantly falling; to cure with local treatment, pronounced it incurable.

In the i orth of England 'mon' certainly occurs; in Scottish speech never. In Scott and Stevenson one may look i'cr it in vain. The broad, soft vocalization of the word in Lothian dialect 4ies somewhere between 'maun' and 'maun,' but us it cannot be literally symbolized the word should be spelt in dialect passages simply as in English."

CAULIFLOWER CULTURE. b a t Calling the Doctor. A good story, is told of. Dr. X., who is the physician in charge of the female wards of one of our best known charitable institutions. One evening about 9 o'clock Mary, a new Irish servant girl, knocked at the dc or, saying-. "Doctor, the head nhrse wants you to come down to supper." The doctor, swelling in his pride of superiority above the nurses, sent the Irish girl away \vith~a-curt message." Half an hour later the hpad nurse came to his room looking very serious. "Doctor," she said, "No. 8 is very bad indeed. I think you ought to see her at once." "Why did you not let me know before?" was the reply. "Why, doctor." said the nurse. "T sent you word by Mary half an hour ago." "The fool!" said the doctor. "She told me to come down to supper!" "Why," said the nurse, "1 sent yon word to come down to eight!" An inquiry made the whole thing clear. Mary thought it more polite to say "Come down to supper" than to say "Come down to ato."~rearson's Weekly. A SCIENTIFIC VIEW OF THE ALLEGEC CRUELTY OF THE SPORT. T h e Crop Not a S t a n d a r d One, UiiM Good P r o f i t In It. "There is a good profit in growing cauliflowers for market if the conditions are all right, but with the culture Cften given them they are not a reliable crop. In growing cauliflowers for sale the first thing to be considered is a market for these luxuries. The crop is not a staple one, like some i which are considered necessaries - of i life, and you must lind people who want them and are able to buy them," says-- a successful grower who gives practical directions on the subject In Vick's Magazine as follows: It is uot'U'st to economize too much In purchasing seeds. The higher priced strains of white cauliflowers, where the type has become established by careful selection for several years, are more reliable iu heading, and the whiter the heads the better they will sell in the market. The large pure white curds, with the leaves trimmed nicely around th^m. attract the eye. and people buy r:!'!a because they "look nice." 'nowball is the. standard icoplo and probably more Town than any other va- ;sually very satisfactory, first sowing ot the seed in a hotbed in March.

"The only place, as far as law Is concerned, where it costs money to die from natural causes is aboard a steamship," remarked a vessel owner. "The purpose of tho law was excellent enough. There was a time when emigrants were being brought to this country In very large numbers, or 'by the shipload.' as it was termed. There is no doubt that there was crowding in the ships that brought them, and to prevent this a law was passed imposing upon the ship a fine of $10 for 5very death that occurred during the passage from natural causes of persons over 8 years of age. This put a stop to overcrowdiug, or, at least, it is supposed that it did, which Is about the same thing. Ships do not fancy having to pay tines of this kind. "Of course, in comparison with the great army of persons who are brought across t h e ocean from month to month, there are very few deaths, for the statisticians .have been kind enough to show beyond a doubt that the steamship is the safest means of transpor- :ation in existence, but. just the same, there are a considerable number in the :ourse of a year."—Washington Star.

Newell, who had the rare distinction of being governor of 4w* states—New Jersey and Washingtontold in Success of his romantic experiences as a congressman in 1849, when he originated the life saving service by offering a resolution in the bouse of representatives to appropriate money to save lives imperiled by the sea. Fellow members of congress at that session were John Quincy Adams and Abraham Lincoln. Mr. Newell said: "Various objections were made to my motion, the strongest of which was that the scheme was impracticable. I laid the matter beforevo great many senators and members, speaking to them in person. Ex-President John Quincy Adams occupied a seat just behind mine and after the reading of the resolution clerk leaned forward and said to me, 'I would like to see that resolution.' I sent for It and banded it to him. He read it over carefully and, handing it to me, said, with a smile: 'It is good. I hope It will prevail.' Abraham Lincoln also read it and said: 'Newell, that is a good measure. I will help you. I am something of a life saver myself, for I invented a scow that righted itself on the Mississippi sand bars.'

Curiously euough, if we may accept the testimony of the scientists, the little boy was quite right. A lish is never so happy as when he is drawn out of the water. The air is to him quite all that laughing gas is to a human being. It gives him a hundred times more oxygon per second than his gills ever got for him from tho inhalation of water. It makes him delightfully drunken. It exhilarates him. It tills him with a completeness of physical j o y - the only joy he is capable of feeling— wholly unknown to him in his native element. He dies presently, it is true, but he dies in an ecstasy of enjoyment instead of dying in his appointed fashion by suffocation In the maw of some bigger fish. In a footnote t."> the thirteenth canto of "Don Juan" Byron denounces Ixaak Walton as a "sentimental savage" and characterizes fishing as,,4tl.ie crudest, the coldest of pretended sports." That only shows how little Byron knew about the matter. His sports Involved the sacrilice of women rather than worms. It is time to set this matter of fishing upon its moral legs, as it were, an end to be accomplished merely by telling the truth about It. A fish Is the very lowest form of the vertebrates. It is Incapable of any Joy except that of getting hooked and thus drawn out of the water to which * its nature condemns it and for a time breathing the air that Intoxicates it In delightfully deadly fashion.

The Arabs u*y that when the flrtt pair sinned they were living in a beautiful garden on n tract of land Joined to a mainland by a narrow neck or Isthmus. Wheu it be came known to the Holy One that his people had sinned, he went to the garden for the purpose of driving them out and across the narrow neck of land into the patch of thorns and 'braunbfes on the other «lde. Anticipating what would be the consequence of their heinous crime, they had prepared to leave their beautiful garden and had actually gone so far as to send the children and goats across Into the thicket. When the Holy One appeared on the scene, the first pair started to run, but the woman looked back. For this the man eursed her and for such a crime was almost immediately turned into a block of salt. Compare with Genesis xix. 26. The woman, more forgiving than her husband, stooped to pick up tho shapeless mass of salt, when immediately the narrow ueck of land began to crack and break. As she touched what had once been her companion she. too, was turned to salt just as the neck of the land sank and the waters rushed through. From that day to this, the Arabs say, all the waters of the ocean have rushed through that narrow channel at lea:>t once a year, constantly wearing away the salt of what was once our first parents* yet the bulk of the two salty objects is not diminished in the least.

It is quite likely that the most interesting political contest in the coming November will be that over the mayoralty of New York.

Karthqnalce in Turkey. AH earthquake was felt in the palace at Constantine on Mar. 31, at the moment of the Bairan ceremony when the high officials were passing before the sultan's throne. A panic resulted, particularly among the diplomatists in the gallery many of whom immediately left the palace. The band ceased playing and the musicians rushed to the doors. Pieces of plaster fell from the ceiling and portions of the chandeliers were broken, adding to the general alarm. The sultan arose from his throne and took a few steps apparently intending to leave the chamber, but he preserved great calmness and presence of mind which had a good effect. After a moment's hesitation his majesty reseated himself upon the throne and ordered the ceremony to proceed. A reception followed, without further incident CUBA A N D PHILIPPINE N E W S . There is a hint to Carrie N a t ' oi and her followers hi the action of the W. C. T. U. women of Fulton, Mich.

Everything in the plac; was destroyed and it has been given out that if another "joint" is started in Fulton it will be smashed and not purchased. Tolstoi Has Been Banished. It was rumored several days ago, but generally disbelieved, that Count Leo Tolstoi had been banished from Russia because of the attempted assassination of Privy Councillor Pobiedonostzeff, chief procurator of the Holy Synod, who was shot at early in the morning of March 2'i while sitting in his study, the attempt being attributed to a desire for revenge growing oi\t of the excommunication of Count Tolstoi. Owing- to the indefiniteness of the rumor it was disregarded at St. Petersburg. A private letter from a trustworthy source in Vilna. capital of the government'of that name, says Count Tolstoi w i s reported to have, passed through Vilna. March >(». being escorted to the frontier by two gendarmes. The defeat or a bill appropriating $50,000,000. by a single senator.' exercising his right of unlimited debate, was a striking incident of-the closing hours of the session of congress. It is not even without a certain amusing aspect. He will be a wise statesman who can find a way to establish a mean between the system which, permits, to one member, such power of obstruction, and the unlimited power of a majority to prohibit all debate under the operation of the "previous question." Several weeks ago an abscess developed in the stomach of William Thorpe, a resident of Quantico, Md. The growth ,eo weakened him that physicians feared to use the knife and the patient was slowly dying. A few days ago he saw a Philadelphia paper in which there was a certain cartoon making fun of Senator Quay of Pennsylvania. Thorpe laughed and immediately a stream of blood gushed from his mouth. The—doctor -happened tocall just then, and after examining Thorpe declared that the abscess had broken and that the patient would now get well. All of which goes to show what Philadelphia cartoons are good for. A paragraph in an American paper the other day estimated the number of British troops in South Africa._at 290,- 000. A London newspaper just at hand furnishes material to correct these figures, for, making a careful summary of all available forces, it finds that, with the re-enforcements sent out a month ago and the new Australian contingent, the total British armed strength in South Africa is 400,000. The forces under Generals Be Wet and Botha being estimated at from 2,000 to 4,000 men, it appears that the British are able to surround each fighting burgher with from 100 to 200 men, a disparity of strength probably without precedent in the history of warfare. The end of the war continues to be In sight—in London. * " Hay lozenges are the popular confectionery among army horses in the Philippines and South Africa. The food, or rather the form of it, is a Yankee invention called into existence by the circumstances of war in a coun- - t r y lacking good roads. Hay put up in the ordinary bale cannot be transpdrjted on horseback because of its w e l g h \ a n d bulk! It is therefore compressediBy powerful machinery into diameter and two inches thick. The disks are packed in rolls like the lozenges the train-boys sell, and hung in elings from the horse's back, one on each side. A single lozenge, when broken up and opened out, makes a meal for a horse or mule, and will cure htm of that hungry feeling as quickly as a mangerful of fresh hay.

MeArthur on the L'nd tl at Aguiualdo has taken 'the'oath of allegiance to the V. S. under the terms of amnesty offered by (.Jen. MacArthur by direction of the president. The dispatch conveying this information contained much more than was given to the public. The portion withheld related to the future disposition of Aguinaldo, and made suggestions as to what the late chief of the insurrection might accomplish. No official statement could be obtained as to what finally would be done with the prisoner. (Jen. Mq,cArthur has hopes that a great deal may be accomplished through Aguinaldo. Will Sue t h e S t a t e . The U 8. attorney-general is about to commence suit against the state of Michigan for the amount of tolls collected by the state officials on the Sault canal for the period between the time when the canal was accepted by the general government and the time when control actually passed to the U. S. The amount claimed is about &K>,000 and suit would have begun before but for the plea of Attorney-General Oren for time to make his reply loathe demand. That reply has not been made, and the suit is likely to be commenced as soon as the papers can be prepared. P r i m e M i n i s t e r B a l f o u r , Lord Salisbury's improvement is marked. Contradictions of the report of his failing health and impending retirement are emphasized, but those closest in touch with public affairs are not misled. The prime minister's intense eagerness to be relieved from official cares is known, and his retirement from public life is much nearer than is generally believed. One forecast may be repeated with confidence, as it is obtained from high authority^. This is the speedy appointment of Mr. Balfour as prime minister, with elevation to the peerage. The sensational frauds of the com* missary department which were developed on the 30th by the arrest of Capt Frederick J. Barrows, of the Thirtieth volunteer infantry, quartermaster of the southern department of Luzon, together with seven commissary sergeants, several civilian clerks, a promiraent government contractor, and a number of storekeepers and other persons, will be probed to the bottom. Orders have been issued that no guilty man escape. The number of men implicated in the frauds is undetermined and high rauk will not suffice to shield the delinquents. CoL Woodruff, the chief commissary at Manila, said to the representative of the Associated Press that the irregularities were exaggerated and that the troops were always well supplied with stores. Colonels of the returning volunteer regiments praise the commissary service. Edward M. Brodie and James P. Coffey, troop C, 3d cavalry, were recently convicted by court-Martial at Manila of murder, and sentenced to imprisonment at hard labor for life. It appeared from the record that the accused murdered a harmless native boy aged 10, whom they met on the highway. Maj.-Gen. Wheaton, commanding the department of northern Luzon approved the sentence, which will be duly executed at Bilibid, Manila, P. 2. The following surrenders have occurred: The insurgent Gen. Arejoia, with 30 officers and 800 men, at the town of Nueva Caceres, in the province of South Camarines, southern Luzon. The remander of the command of Maj. Pablo Tecson, at the town of San Miguel de Mayumo, Bulacan province, central Luzon, and 16 officers and 70 men in Bulacan province and at other points. Senator Proctor, who has just erturned from Cuba, where he has been making observations concerning conditions in the island, says he found a disposition among many leading Cubans to accept the terras of the Piatt amendment as the most satisfactory solution of the relations between the United States and Cuba, The capture of Asrnlnaldo has caused much interest at Madrid. The press is divided on the subject. Some of the newspapers are delighted with his capture and (lescribe him asa black traitor to Spain. Others consider him a traitor to his own-race, and declare he was bought with American dollars. Lieut. Warren Dean, with JJO men of Troop C, of the Sixth cavalry, was almost surrounded at Sunga Mountains, in Cavite province. During the ensuing action 18 insurgents were killed and two Americans were wounded. The insurgents then retired. A special dispatch "says that important proposals relative to the surrender of all the insurgents in the Philippines have been made by Aguinaldo, though Hen. MacArthur, to the United States.

J. Pierpont Morgan has a gigantic scheme. He proposes that the U.

Fires were started under the Toledo *fc Monroe railway power house boilers on the 1st, and part of the machinery was tested. A trial trip over the line will be made this week, and the formal opening of the road, it is expected, will occur the latter part of the week.

Sir Robt, Hart's scheme to enable China to raise suflicient money to pay off the allies1 indemnity claims, seems to be meeting with favor among the foreign ministers. This plan provides for the banking of the salt and like taxes over to the maritime customs administration and the levying of an annual house tax equal to one-half a month's rent, which it is calculated will provide 20,000,000 taels yearly, sufficient to pay 5 per cent interest on 250,000,(100 taels, and clear the whole of the principal in less than 40years. The correspondent of the Associated Press learns on the highest authority that Prince Tuan/s fate has been finally decided. His death sentence will be commuted to banishment to Turkestan. The list of guilty Chinese provincial authorities includes only four to be beheaded and several degradations. The Chinese commissioners are surprised that the guilty officials should escape with such light punishments. Although no official notification has reached the President of the departure of Prince Li Hung Chang from Pekin for Shanghai, the officials are inclined to believe that he has done so, and that Li Hung Chang is really leaving Pekin for good and because the emperor is displeased with^his conduct of the negotiations. LI favored the signing of the Manchurian treaty which China has turned down. The Chinese government has formally notified Russia that China, owing to the attitude of the powers, is not able to sign the Manchurian convention. W i l l Koslj-n. Charles II.

America'way well' Hel proud of the interest which her citizens took in tho Paris Exposition and the elaborate exhibits which were prepared with consummate skill and displayed in a manner not excelled by any other country. Those of Harvesting Machinery* in particular were most complete and interesting. The Deering Harvester Company, of Chicago, America's foremost manufacturer of this line of goods» was accorded the position of honor, having contributed more to the advancement of the art of harvesting than aisy other manufacturer, living or dead, and with a greater array of important inventions to Its credit than any other company in the world. Visitors to the Exposition wers prompt to accord the Deering exhibits supreme honors, and it only remained for official mandate to ratify the popular verdict, which was done in a manner as substantial as it was well-merited. Each one of the seven Deering exhibits secured the highest award in its class. In addition to four high decorations, the Deering Harvester Company received twenty-five awards, or twenty- nine in all, as follows: Decoration of Officer of the Legion of Horior, Decoration of Chevalier of the Legion of Honor, Two Decorations of Officer oi Merite Agricolc, a Special Certificate of Honor. The Grand Prize, Six Gold Medals, Six Silver Medals and Eleven Bronse Medals, including Deering Collaborator Medals. The Decoration of the Legion or Honor was instituted by Napoleon Bonaparte when First Consul in 1802, and is only conferred in recognition of distinguished military or civil achievements. It is the highest distinction in the gift of the French Republic. The Decoration of the Merits Agricole is an honor of but slight'.y less importance, which is conferred upon those who have contributed greatly UJ the advancement of agriculture. An Official Certificate of Honor was accorded the Deering Retrospective Exhibit, which showed the improvements in harvesting machinery during the past century, and excited the highest praise of the French Gpvernmenr Officials who had entrusted to tho Dcoring Harvester Company the preparation of this most important exhibit. By special request this exhibit ha*, been presented to the National Museum of Arts and Sciences at Paris, where it has become a permanent feature of that world-famed institution. The Deering Twine Exhibit and Com Harvester Exhibit, both of which received the highest awards, have hy request of the French Government been presented to the National Agricultural College of France. Theres was no field trial, either official or otherwise, in connection with the Paris Exposition, but the mo3t important foreign contest the past season was held under the auspices of th-^ Russian Expert Commission at tbs Governmental Farm of Tomsk, Siberia. August 14th to 18th. All the leading American and European machines participated and were subjected to th-;* most difficult tests by the Government Agriculturist. The Expert Commission awarded the Deeding Harvester Company the Grand Silver Medal of tho Minister of Agriculture and Domain, which was the highest award. The Deering Harvester Works aro the largest of their kind in the world, covering eighty-five acres and employing 9,000 people. They are equipped with modern automatic machines, many of which perform the labor of from five to fifteen hands. This Company is also the largest manufacturer of Binder Twine in the world, having been first to produce single-strand binder twine, such as is in general use today, making over a third of the product of the entire world. The output of its factory for a single day would tie a band around the earth at the equator, with several,, thousand miles to spare. The annual production would fill a freight train twenty miles long. Made into a mat two feet wide, it would reach across the American-continent from ocean to ocean. Deering machines are known a^ LIGHT DRAFT IDEALS, consisting of Binders, Mowers, Reapers, Corn Harvesters, Shreddeis and Rakes. This company exhibited at the Paris Exposition an Automobile Mower, which attracted much attention, and exhibitions were -given with one of these machines in the vicinity of Paris throughout the season.

"Rate; Mr. Magnum* Do you pretend to bo wiser than the whole country side?" "By no means, my love/' "Well, every one say a the place la full of ghosts!" "Yes, my dear." "What every one say3 must be trv.al" Mr. Magnum did not dare to say no. "And so the place is haunted," replied his better'half, triumphantly. "Ugh! I would not live in that old house for the whole world," said Kitty, shrugging her shouders. "Does Mr. Cowley like it?" asked Mrs. Magnum. "No—I think not." "Then why does sne stay?" Mr. Magnum coughed and looked •embarrr.ssed. "My dear, Mr. Cowley, is a very peculiar man—very. I am afraid he generally does what he likes, without con- •sulting his wife." "And she lets him?" exclaimed Mrs. Magnum, shutting her lips, viciously. "I am afraid she does." "Well, if women will toe fools, they must! But I only wish I was Mrs. Cowley! Do you feel tired, Miss Marjorie? You don't look Quite well." " I am rather tired," replied the governess, very quietly. "Then pray don't sit up longer than you like." Miss Marjorie took the hint, put away her work) said good-night, and left the room. Two pairs of eyes followed her with anything but lovins loohs. "Nasty, proud thin?! I hate her!" said Kitty, in a low tone. "And eo do I!" replied her mother, with emphasis. "But she will be going next month, so v;e need not trouble ourselves about her." CHAPTER VIII. Miss Marjorie did not, however, £0 :o her own room. She took a cloak from its peg in the hall, threw it over her head, opened the front door aoftly, and went out. Mrs. Magnum would have been shocked out of all her propriety if she had seen her pacing up and down the garden walks alone, but just at that moment Miss Marjorie cared little for Mr3. Magnum, or anything she could say. The night wa3 dark and starless, the air chill and raw. But after that heated room it was a positive luxury to feel the fresh, damp wind coming from the hills . After those sharp, unnerving voices it was soothing to listen to the leafless trees breathing and whispering of the coming of the rain. Storm and cold and darkness—they were all preferable to that snug parlor and its disagreeable inmates; and so Miss Marjorie paced up and down, up and down, and thought. Thought of another time which had been far happier than this! A time when she was also a companion, but not MKa Magnum's companion! A time when there was one voice that always soften_d when it spoke her name; when there were eyes that brightened at her coming—lips that welcomed her as only privileged lips might do! Shaikh ought of long, pleasant evenings. llBht with books and work and music, around a cottage Are. Of quiet walks and talks by summer moonlight. Ala3! where had those blissful moments fled? Why had the dearest, the sweetest of ties failed her? Why, from that wealth of love and tenderness had she been cast out into the cold world alone? She had been foully slandered; she had been cruelly distrusted; she had been heartlessly deserted! Ov«r and aver again she said this to herself. Yet on that night, as she walked up and down the gravel path, the sense of in* jury and of wrong seemed to die away and in their place came a wild yearning for the olden time—but for one moment of the happiness of yore! "Oh, that it were possible In this dull life of pain, T o find the arm of my true love Around me once again!" she murmured, as she clasped her hands above her aching heart. Where yrtM he? What was he doing now? Beautiful and bright, he had risen like a star above her lonely path; had won ner heart, and /worn it for a time; had 4>ound her to him by the most sabred ties; then left her for years, perhaps forever! Where was he—where was he? And she stretched out her a r m s to the sullen night sky in her vain and passionate appeal to him who would come no more. The sky grew darker. A drop of rain touched her cheek. 6he turned to go in, yet, with a strange, uneasy feeling, she lingered * aoca**t beeUe the gate looking out upon the dark road that led into the village. Then her eyes wandered away beyond Banley, and out towards the hill where the haunted house stood. How strange the unseen and unacknowledged link that bound her to the people there! What would they say when she went to them and told her tale? Would they think her mad or would they take compassion upon her for the sorrow she had undeigone, and admit her to their family circle as a welcome and honored gue3t? Was it likely? Had they ever heard her name? Yet how well she knew theirs; and how much she could tell of their daily life and habits, from the stern banker down to his favorite daughter, Rose! "Cousin Rose! Cousin Rose!" She said it aloud twice, and then started and flushed guiltily, lest any one should have heard her. Some one had heard! Not Mr. Magnum— not even Kitty, but a tall, handsome young man, who had been walking along the public, road, with his hands in his pockets and his head bent down. He had passed the garden gate without even looking that way, but -the low voice made him Etart and turn round. In an instant he had leaped the iron fence, and stood by Miss Marporie's side. "Have I found you at last?" he exclaimed. "I have looked for you all over England, and in vain. Now, Marjorie—" But Miss Marjorie looked in his face, gave a low cry, and fainted. He caught her in his arms and kissed her passionately. "Marjorie, my love, my darling, look up and speak to me!" (Slowly she revived. Slowly she came to the knowledge that life was no longer a blank—that he had returned, and that he loved her still. "Oh," she sighed, "is thi3 a dream.?" "No dream, but truth, my darling." "Are you sure? I have dreamed so many times." "But you are awake now. Awake, to hoar me say that I wrongod you— that I was a jealous, suspicious fool to listen to a, word against you; awake to see me kneel at your feet and ask your pardon! Look, Marjorie! I won't rise till you say you have entirely forgiven me!" "My love—ray love!" answered Mi3S Marjorie. bending over him with a radiant smile. And then the long misery of the past was wiped away and forgotten. "But wV»ere have you been?" she asked, when the first surprise was over. "Where have you been, and how did you know I was here?" "I have been in Australia, my love. I would not come back till I could lay a fortune at your feet, as some amends for all I have made you suffer; and I can do it now. Thanks to a spade and pickaxe, I am a rich man, and you j shall have a new silk dress every day, and cat off gold and silver plate, if [ you like. Marjorie!" I "As if I cared L'or that!" she said. kissing him. "No, I know you ars not mercenary; but still, money is one of the best things ycu can Vave, my child. Money and love—love and money; any one ! who can get those two thing3 may ! think himself remarkably well off in j this vale of tears. Miss Marjorie! And I you have both; and if you don't fez\ ! obliged to me for getting them, yo i are a very ungrateful young woman, I must say." "Oh, I do, I do, but how in the world did you know I was here?" "I did not. This is the strangest part of the story. I came home to England lonely and 3ad enough. For three years in Australia I have been trying to find you -out. through agents and advertisements, in vain. Where have you been?" "I taught In a school at Brixton for two years after I lost you:^ and then one of the pupils, daughter of this Mr. Majmum—" "The gentleman who owns this house?" "Yes:^ his daughter was educated at that school, and she thought I would make a suitable companion for her mother, who is ill. or who fancies herself so, at least. I have been here a year. I shall leave the place in a month's time." *~"In a week—In a day!" was the impetuous reply. "Do you suppose I am going to have you slaving here now I am home again? You will pick up your traps to-night and be ready to go with me when I call for you to-morrow, which will -be as soon after breakfast as I can get over from Banley. Do you hear?" "Yes. but I must f i v e some notice." "Not a Wt of It. Are they kind to 7«u?- "Not very." "Do you like them?" "Not at »11." "You don't mean to say that they have ill-used you?" "Oh, no." "But, in fact, you hate them?" "Exactly." "Poor darling! And you have had a year of this drudgery?" "Never mind; it is all over now." ~ T h « it is." — "But finish your story. Tell me how you happened to find me here." "Do you know that my uncle Cowley is here?" "Yes." "Shut up with all Tils family"tn~a house full of ghosts?" "I have hoard of it." "I went straight to his house in Mecklenburg square, only to Jlnd It empty. The housekeeper gave me the present address, and, on reaching Banley, I found his name in everybody's mouth. If he had seen half the sights and heard half the sounds villagers relate he must be a lunatic by this time. In the place of waiting till to-morrow to pay my visit, I thought I would go to-night, and see if there was any truth in these marvelous tales. And while I was walking along, thinking of ghosts and hobgoblins, I heard a little voice plainly say in the darkness, 'Cousin Rose!-rCousin Rose!' It was the voice I had been hungering and thirsting to hear for three long and weary years. Now you know the whole. Were you thinking about Rcr.e?" "Yee." "You will like her dearly. She is a good little thing, and will make a sister of you the moment I tell her your story. Will you go there with me tomorrow?" "Will they welcome me?" "Of course they will, you goose! Oh, Marjorie! My ov;n Marjorie! they will love you for my sake, even as I love you for ycur own, you wicked, fascinating, cruel little monster!" "He! he! he! That'3 prime!" exclaimed a boyish voice in the shrubbery; and Marjorie startsd from her lover'3 arms. "Julius, is that you?" she cried. "I should rather think it was!" the Th* r u n t with W»««U In the battle with weeds the first point Is not to le} weed seeds be. carried onto bare land. For this reason there are fields where bare fallows are never advisable, as, for illustration, a field adjoining a road overrun with weeds. The practice of leaving land thus bare is very often the cause of the same land being subsequently overrun with weeds, which can only | be extirpated by years of expensive operations. The land owner frequen ly imagines that he has no interest in thistles, wild lettuce, and other weedi that line the roadside adjoining his premises. But he has a very decided financial interest in them, for they are the great store house from which his farm is seeded. While he is asleep, the winds are whipping the head3 of the ripening weeds and carrying the seeds % over his land to find a lodgment wherever there is an unused spot of ground. It will pay to make war on such weeds for the purpose of cutting off the supply of new seeds. If the weeds along the roadside be mowed a number of times during the growing season they will cease to reproduce themselves and in their stead grass will appear. This will be taking possession of the enemy's entrenchments. We must prevent weed seeds from getting into the manure, as this is one of the ways in which they are kept on the farm. The screenings of the grain, if full of weed seeds should be disposed of in some way that will keep t h e n out of the manure pile, and when the chaff is likewise full of weed seeds It will be found cheaper to burn i: than to use It for bedding, by which means it finds its way into the manure. Under an ideal system of manure handling this chaff would go into a compost where the seeds would be destroyed, but we have no such cartainty of their destruction at the present time. Therefore we must do the next best thing and prevent the seeds from getting into the manure at all. Biennial and perennial weeds are, of course, more difficult to destroy than are the annuals, and frequently have to be given special attention. Plowing is the strongest measure that can be used against them, but many Sr*s ft IifWOB 1B rittlpiw Two hundred young women braTed yesterday's rain to attend the Sinday afternoon "open door" session of the Chicago Woman's Club in the Fine Arts building, says the Chicago Tribune. Miss Clara Dixon presided and introduced the speakers. Carl Lambert gave several selections on the violin, accompanied by Mrs. Favorite. Hiss Bingham sang. Martha Foote Crow of Northwestern University delivered the clpal address, speaking on "The Studies of Modern Fiction." "The inspiration for a higher life in this world come from literature/' she said. "I think I understand the terrible loneliness of the working girl in a great city. She may have friends, but then there is a feeling of being alone when she looks about her. I think I see a gradual movement among men and women to extend a helping hand to all these brothers and sisters who may need it. There is none of us but who needs some kind of help. The literature of today I believe more truly reflects the conditions, hopes and ambitions of the people than the literature of any other age."

I shan't have to learn any more Latin lessons! You'll have to pack, Miss Marjorie, as sure as eggs is eggs! Heigho, jeminy, and a rigdum!" His exulting dance was speedily brought to an ejid. Mr. Cowley, who had ken-t silent so far from sheer astonishment, now grasped him firmly by the collar. "Ycu young scoundrel!" he exclaimed, "how dare you speak in that manner to Miss Marjorie?" "She's my governess: I'll say what I like to her!" was the impertinent reply. "And she is my wife! And if you dare to say a word about her—to look at her insolently—to insult her in the smallest way—I'll give you such a flogging that you will never want to utter a lady's name as long as you live! Do ycu hear, sir?" and he shook him in the air as a terrier shakes a rr.t. "Oh, my! let me go! I'll call my father!" said the frightened boy. "Hold your tongue, you whelp! Where is t"ie key to the garden gate?" "In the hall, sir." "Go and get it—a:id don't let anyone see you! Be quick!" Julius, thoroughly subdued. ran.ir/> the steps, and In a moment reappeared with the key. "What are you going to do.Charles?" inquired Miss Marjorie, wonderingly, as he opened the gate and held out his hand to her. "I am going to take you away with rre." "Impossible." "I don't know what that word means!" "But I have not even got on my bonnet." "Never mind, your cloak will protect you, and we have net far to go. Into that house you shall never step again, after the specimen of your treatment I have just seen." He drew her out uoon the footpath, and turned to the boy. who stood with open mouth at the gate. "Lock it. and go in," he said. "But what am I to say to mother?" '*Tell her that Miss Marjorie has gone away with her husabnd," was the laughing reply. "Come, my love, draw your cloak well round you. 1 never ran away with a lady before; but, upon my word, this eloping with one's wife is a very pleasant business!" And so, while Julius ran in with his wonderful news, and sent Mrs. Magnum into a fit of screaming hysterics, the strangely re-united pair walked on arm in arm right through the darkness towards the haunted house.'

Expensive PoUon for Potato Bog». The Maine Experiment Station, in bulletin GS, takes up the question of poisons for potato beetles. It report; so adversely on "Bug Death," a patent insecticide, that anyone reading the bulletin will certainly not buy the powder named. In part it says: Whatever value the material has is dependent upon the strong dislike which the bugs show for it, rather than to any insecticidal qualities which it may have. The price as advertised ranges from 15 cents for a single pound to 8 cents in the largest jsckage which the company puts out. At the rate applied in these experiments it would co3e $8.00 per acre for the material for each application. Two applications a fortnight apart would be needed to keep tl.e potatoes free from bugs. When applied to vines not covering the ground an application at the rate of 40 pounds per acre was without effect, co it would seem that the second application must be as great as the first. To partly protect would cost for the Bug Death $S.O0 per acre, while to thoroughly protect against bugs would cost ?1G.00 for materials.

M'Carron, Mich., April 8.—(Special.) —Mrs. Samuel G. Dyer of this plac3 has given the following interesting letter for publication: "For yearB I suffered intense pain in the region of the heart. I doctored with the best physicians. Some of them would relieve me for a short time, but the pain always returned. My heart was so bad that I would have to sit up in bed for hours, to get relief. I would lie awake almost all night. I am 62 years of age, and no one can understand how much I suffered with this Heart Trouble. "About a year ago I heard of Dodd'Ss Kidney Pills, and commenced to use them. From the first my condition improved. - The pain in my heart gradually grew less, and my general health much better, and now I can say positively that I am entirely cured. I can sleep all night, and enjoy almost perfect health. I thank God for the cure that has "ome to me through the u s * of Dodd's Kidney Pills. "I have thought long over the matter •of giving this letter for publication, and am doing so now without any solicitation whatever, end simply because I feel it to be my duty to express the profound gratitude I feel for my recovery, and to let others who may be suffering as I wa3 know how they may find a cure. I know that nothing else but Dodd's Kidney Pills cured me, because 4 have taken no other medicine for over a year. I feel better now than I have for many years, and it is all due to the use of Dodd'3 Kidney Pills." Mrs. Dyer's case and its cure has attracted a great deal of attention, and her letter 13 a splendid tribute to the curative properties of Dodd's Kidney Pills.

It would take ten days for .these voters to protect the potato plants from bugs applying Bug Death with the Perfection shaker. A farmer growing 20 to 50 acres would find it impossible to get the help necessary to apply Bug Death at the right time. One pound of Paris green, or other arsenites applied at two different times will do all the work of 200 pounds of Bug Death. The Paris green can be applied with power sprayer at the rate of 20 to SO acres a day, and a thorough application of Bordeaux mixture can be applied at the same time with only the added cost of materials (about 40 to 45 cents an aero). Reckoning a man's time at 15 cents an hour it would cost at least for materials and labor $1S an acre to apply Bug Death twice. For $2.50 an acre can be treated four times with Bordeaux mixture and a reliable poison.

Harry Wauchope came briskly out ot the Faculty Hoom, wearing on Ms face the boyish, defiant smile that was meant to express supreme unconcern. He stopped for a moment at the drinking fountain in the great hall and the smile died from his face as he filled the, cup, emptied it absently, half fllled^t again,, and then turned impatiently away. v -Regtl&ssiy he wandered over to the .rb&u&o. board and read the students' "Lost' notices, wondering wearily why ^people posted the loss of such trivial 'things as text books and society pins. •Hft read that "if the person who stole • a tennis racket marked J. M. K. from *the, gym. last Thursday evening will return same to. 43 Elm street all will toe forgiven and no reward will be required," and it did not seem to him a hit funny. Beneath that was the announcement of the football game at Travis Field which was to decide tne class championship. He remembered u$r he had looked forward to playing id It, and talked over the chances ot winning, and hoped and feared, until U> had become a great thing with him and with all the team that they should win the game and the championship fbr the class; now it struck him sharply that the game was being played at that moment, and he was not "in it" and never would be again. He could even iiear the dull yelling of the crowd on the side linos. Occasionally there came to turn the short, sharp, triumphant "X, C, V—I—I," which told him 4hat his class was winning. Wauchope thought of all he would miss, how. the strong bonds of fellowship he had formed on the ball ground and, in the societies and at class meetings would be snapped when he went .away, and not a soul among them would care anything about him after *tfce first feeling of regret that their reckless, lawless classmate had been •expelled. He could imagine them saying' to each other, "What? Jack fired! Poor devil! Well, it had to come soon* en or later." He had made few close friends, but ifce*knew. a good many who would be ,gtad to see him humbled; and he re- He stopped at the drinking fountain. solved that, they should never know how bard he was hit. He world carry himself with the same jaunt) devilmay- care insouciance h*» had always worn, so that uo man could say he 'Winced. Involuntarily ho straightened himself, thrust his hands deep into his •coat pockets, and lounged over to the •targe western windows overlooking tho • Gym. courte. His restless fingers, unconsciously -working, clutched a piece of cardboard - and'drew it out of his pocket. It was -a.programme of the last class hop, - and. the sight of it gave a wrench to ?hJ8i thoughts'that hurt with a sharper pain. He remembered just how Alice 'had looked, itow beautifully sweet and •serene she had appeared in that fetching light gray dress ot hers, how she had seemed so much less reserved and more friendly than visual. It had awept across his mind at the time that . poislbly the thing he. wanted most in all the world might some day be with- *p. hi* reaofl, and he had resolved thai he wouid make such a man of himself as would be worthy of her. v put that was nothing new. x Sver Since he had come to thinking ojt her in this wa; h* had found hiniaelf bent on high achievement. He knew his work in the classroom had steadily improved. He had Ruorised more than ^ ° r-rnfftRgnr hy hla Riiddan keen an- * im 1 M 1 >n\ IU1 •• \ plication. Yet he had been surprised to find how h«ra it was to drop his old, unthinking, recklessness, even when he had set his face steadily in tne other direction. He had never ken himself seriously before. Natrally other people had accepted him a joke and. a lawbreaker, and now refused to consider him seriously. They had thought it was some new "grind" he was getting on them. And when they saw he was in earnest they raueQ him about his reform, asking him how long it was since New Year's, until he was forced almost in self-de* fense into occasional lapses. Why the deuce was it that he could "Reprieved! Reprieved!' ' never keep his fingers out ot a bit of tempting mischief? If Gray and Tomlinson wanted to kidnap the president ot the Junior cla«s what business was it of his? he might have known that it was just his luck to come to grief over the affair. He had known from the first that his case was hopeless. His misdeeds had been up for consideration too many times .before for him to expect any mercy now. The moment he had entered the Faculty Room he had seen that he stood no chance. It they had been severe he would have felt it a hopeful sign, but this cold, businesslike air showed only too plainly that his hearing was a mere formality. They had galled him inexpressibly by their coldness, and he had been in return politely insolent and unconcerned. Yet he would have given anything for another chance, though his pride would not let him ask for it. They had asked him a question or two, and he had answered them. Then they had permitted him to retire while they made their decision. Wauchope felt that he could foretell just what that decision would be. With the usual lack of perspective which pertains in youth Harry saw a long vista ot hopeless years stretch before him, all full ot failuro and misery. That was in the distance, but the immediate future looked black enough to him. How could he face his father after having dragged their common name in the dust—that name of which they were both so proud? And his mother—ah, he dare not think of her. He might break down if he did. A wisp of paper floated down to him from the gallery above. Wauchope looked up in time to note the swish of a .disappearing skirt. A note was penciled on the scrap of paper. "I shall be in the Annual office. Come to me as soon as you know the decision. " ALICE." Harry flushed when he read it, and then he groaned. He knew that it meant she was going to stand by him, and he fought with a sudden lump in his throat. "Oh, you splendid girl, do you think I shall let you sacrifice yourself for a disgraced man? I may be a wortniess scamp, but I'm not such a hound as that," he cried to himself, and,set his teeth bitterly at thought of the futility of a too-late repentance. The door of the Faculty Room opened and a professor stepped out "Mr. Wauchope, can we see you a moment?" he asked. "Certainly, sir," answered the lad. and followed him proudly into the judgment chamber. Five minutes later the door opened again to let out a young man with the eager light ot happiness shining from his eyes. He made straight for the great stairway which led to the gallery and the Annual office, and as he went up the steps three at a time his heart kept singing: "Another chance, Alice, girl. Reprieved! Reprieved!" The Parts Police Force. The cost nf thq police force of Paris groWa steadily year by year. In 1872 it was $4,031,725, of which $2,237,300 was paid by the city and the rest by the government; in 1885, $4,961,300; in 1899, $6,448,170. In 1872 the totar strength of the police force was 7,7*^ for a population of 1,851,792. "in 1899 It was 9,000 for a population of 2,563,- 000.

A remedy that will cure catarrh of tne stomach wHl cure the same condition of the mucous membrane anywhere, 1 have found It the best remedy I nave ever tried for catarrh, and believing it worthy my endorsement 1 gladly accord It' * Mrs, Elmer Fleming, orator of Reservoir Council, No. 168, Northwestern Legion of Honor, of Minneapolis, Minn., writes from 2535 Polk fit, N. E.: "I have been troubled all my life with catarrh i n m y head. X took P e r u n a f o r a b o u t three months, a n d n o w think I am permanently cured. I believe that for catarrh in all its forms, Peruna is the medicine of the age. It cures when all other remedies fail. I. can heartily recommend Peruna as a catarrh samedy." The spring is the time to treat catarrh. Cold, wet winter weather often retards a cure of catarrh. If a course of Peruna is taken during the early spring months the cure will be prompt and permanent. There can be no failures If Peruna is taken - intelligently during the favorable weather of spring. As a systemic catarrh remedy Peruna eradicates catarrh from the system wherever it may be located. It cures catarrh of the stomach or bowels with the same certainty as catarrh of the head. If you do not derive prompt and satisfactory results from the use of Peruna, write at once to Dr. Hartman. giving a full statement of your case and he will be pleased to give you his valuable advice gratis.

Your body, the house your soul lives in, also becomes filled up with all manner of filth, which should have been removed from day to day.

Associated wfth the glycogen, but withheld from actual contact with It during life, is its appropriate digestive ferment, the hepatic diastase. The mere crushing of the dainty between the teeth brings these two bodies together, and the glycogen is at once digested without other help by its own diastase. "The oyster in the uncooked state or merely warmed is, in fact, self digestive. But the advantage of this provision is wholly lost by cooking, for the heat immediately destroys the associated ferment, and a cooked oyster has to be digested, like any other food, by the eater's own digestive powers." A W i l y A n s w e r . The shah of Persia once asked a group of his courtiers whom they thought the greater man, himself or his father. At first he could get no reply to so dangerous a question, the answer to which might cost the courtiers their heads. At last a wily old courtier said, "Your father, sire, for although you are equal to your father in all other respects in this he is superior to you, that he had a greater son than any you have." English Roads. After the abandonment of Britain by the Romans the roads fell into disuse and bridle paths formed the only means of communication. Not until the sixteenth j'ear of Charles II—that fs. 1G70—was any systematic effort made to improve the roads of England. VILLAGE OFFICERS. PBE8IDBNT . ..~~ Ales. MclQtjTS TacBTEES E. L.

PINCKNEY, MICHIGAN. — The Cape to Cairo railway is at present being extended from Buluwayo to Wanii, a nlaee about 200 miles further north, where a great coal discovery has just been mads. It has also been found that the Zambe3i can be much more easily crossed at this point than at the point originally selected. When a popular young author came to see William AL Evarts. while he was secretary of state, in behalf of a consulship for which he was an applicant Mr. Evarts congratulated him on the 'ame which he had acquired, but hastened to add: "Although you have laurels on your brows, I suppose you can't browse on your laurels." F 1 1 That's What Some of the State Correspondents Report. G, A. B. STATE ENCAMPMENT Will be Held at Flint In June-The Shorta «e or the Nllee First National Bank li Placed at •l«0.0O0 — Depositor* Will Reoeive at Least SO Per Cent of Deposit* Baron Wilhelm von Rothschild, who recently died at Frankfort, was one of the few rich men who make it a rule of their lives to give away one-tenth of their income in charity. He was not only a religious observer in all respects of the ancient Mosaic law, but he vaa a profound Talmudic scholar, having devoted a great part of his time to careful and systematic studies of ihe Talmud. A queer instance of improper influence said to have been exerted upon a juryman comes from New Haven. The jury in a certain civil case went to Falrhaven to visit the house of the defendants. There, according to the counsel for the plaintiff.one of the parties to the suit gave one of the jurors a piece of pie. This piece of pie is the ground upon which a motion to set aside the verdict is founded. There was a substantial increase iri the traffic through the Suez canal in 1899. Three thousand Ave hundred and three vessels passed through the canal in 1898; in 1899 the number was increased to 3,607, representing an increase of 104 vessels and a gain of 657,017 tons. The average time consumed fn passing through the canal in 1899 was eighteen hours and thirtyeight minutes, about half an hour longer than was necessary during the previous year. Hammond Mast Stand TrlaL A jury was secured on the 8th for the trial of D. Judson Hammond, of Pontiac, who is charged with having solicited a bribe while a member of the state legislature of 1899. Hammond was indicted by the grand jury, two bills being found against him. At the opening of court on the above date Prosecuting Attorney Tuttle announced that he would ask the court to nolle pros the case against Hammond, which had been brought under the statute and would try the respondent on the common law counts. District Attorney W. D. Gordon, who is associated with EL M. Zimmerman in the trial of the case as defendant's attorneys, argued a motion to quash the indictment which had been pending for nearly a year, but Judge Wiest could not see it that way and refused to grunt the request. It took the jury just 20 minutes to convict ex-Rep. D. Judson Hammond, of Pontiac, of soliciting Jas. A. Coye, of Grand Rapids, to commit a felony by offering him a bribe. Judge Wiest concluded his charge at exactly 5 o'clock on the 10th and the jury at once re>ired. In 20 minutes they returned a verdict of guilty. Only one ballot was taken. A Queer Religious Seet, Supervisor YY. S, VN ptring, of Ogden, Lenawee county, t o o t h e r with, some residents of South Fairfield, wore in conference with Prosecuting Attorney Sampson and Judge, of Probate Larwill, at Adrian on the 0th, in regard to a queer sect that have held out at South Fairfield for a year or two. The sect is made up of four or five families, the members of which formerly belonged to the United Brethren church of that place. The leader of the new religion is Gus Wagner. It is alleged that Wagner has become deranged over religion. It is said the new sect believe that its members are vested with a new life. As an example, Charles Hagadorn, one of the new sect, was asked by his brother why he did not call to see his mother, who is quite ill. "Why, I have no mother. My name is not Charles Hagadorn; he is dead. I am a new man," was the reply he made. Kansas City, Mo., is claiming to be a great fruit distributing point, and in proof of the same "points with pride" to these two consignments: In one day 1,000,000 bananas were received from the tropics and on March 4 2,000,000 oranges came in, the shipment being made from Los Angeles, Cal. This orange train was composed of twenty-eight cars and a caboose. There were 364 boxes of oranges to the car, making 10,192 boxes in all. Off Cerigo, the island at tha southern end of Greece, dlver3 are bringing up art treasures that were sunk 200 years before Christ. Lucian tells of a ship laden with art spoils that went down on" the'voyage from Athens to Rome, and it is believed that the wreck has been found now. Besides many bronze statuettes a life-size bronze statue resembling the Herme3 of Praxiteles, has been brought up. Some objects are excellently preserved, but others are corroded. Monthly Crop Bulletin. In the Michigan crop report for April, issued on the Oth, Secretary o\ State Warner says that during March the low-lands in some sections of the state were covered with water ani some damage was done to wheat. Information in regard to wheat varies, some correspondents thinking that i prospects for a crop are fair, while [others are of the opinion that it will j again be damaged by the Hessian fly. j Correspondents generally agree that the crop wintered well, but in many parts of the state the plants are full of flies ready to begin their ravages as soon as conditions are favorable. Some are expecting parasites to decrease the work of the fly, but it is difficult to estimate this factor so early in the season. Warm, dry weather will favor the fly, while cold, damp weather will be unfavorable to the hatching of a spring brood of the insects. The average condition of wheat in the state is 80, or 16 better than it was last year at this time. The average condition of meadows is 93 for the state; horses and swine, 96; sheep, 75; cattle, 94. There are some reports, of large loses of spring pigs, and also that sheep and lambs are dying in some parts of the fctate. Wreck on the F. & V. M. President Herald, Manager Crapo, Passenger Agent Moeller, Supt Agnew and other oflieials of the Pere Marquette railroad were going to Grand Rapids by special train from Ottawa Belch on the 9th when their train struck a caboose which projected from a siding. The caboose was smashed, the special train's engine badly dumaged, and the president's car was bruised, but none of the oflieials were more than shaken up. The engineer and fireman applied the air brakes and then jumped to save themselves. One of them escaped with a sprained wrist. The accident occurred within the city limits of Grand Rapids and the oflieials walked two miles to a hotel. Disease In Michigan. Reports to the state board of health by representative physicians in active general nrac ice in different parts of the state indicate that rheumatism, neuralgia, influenza, bronchitis and tonsilitis in the order named, caused most sickness in Michigan during the past week. Cerebro-spinal meningitis was reported present at 2 places; whooping cough at 13, diphtheria at 21, measles at 29, typhoid fever at 40, scarlet fever at St, smallpox at 10J aud consumption at 193. Three children, a boy and two gir:s, brother and sisters, have had a terrible avalanche experience at Ornon. The children, neither of whom was more than 10, were overwhelmed, and the brother was carried over a precipice 200 feet high and buried under tons of snow, ice and rocks, his body not yet having been recovered. One of the girls was thrown into a Bhallow crevassa, whence she managed to extricate herself. The other girl caught at a tree as she was falling and managed t o hold on to it. to the branches, with a drop of 300 feet below, until her sister succeeded in obtaining assistance. When she was ultimately rescued by a man who was lowered over the precipice by a rope, she was in on exhausted condition, and collapsed on being brought to solid ground. The insurance companies have come to a new decision with regard to the granting of policies to the crowned heads of Europe since the death of King Humbert They are willing to insure them against all risks, save that of assassination, at a slightly higher rate than that exacted from ordinary individuals. This higher rate is presumably demanded in view of the fact that royal blood is supposed to be vitiated and impoverished. Kinng Milan, about four months ago, endeavored to insure his life. But although he was a mere ex-king, the companies to which he applied would only consent to give him a policy with the special assassination clause, which he declined, and his son, the present king, when he attempted a short time ago to insure his life In favor of Queen Draga, failed t o come to any understanding with the company, owing to the same stlpnisr tloxr. G. A, R* State E n c a m p m e n t . Department Commander Allen, Michigan G. A. R., has issued orders relative tc the state encampment to meet at Flint in June. The Michigan Passenger association has authorized a rate of one fare for the round trip from all points in lower Michigan, tickets to be sold June 11 and 12, limited to return on or before June 14. All communications concerning the encampment should be addressed to Andrew J. Ward, Flint.

The total number of deaths reported to the secretary of state for the month of March was 3.4S8, corresponding to a death rate of 17.2 per 1,000 population. This is an increase of 34:5 ov.>r the number returned for March, 190(). There were G73 deaths of infants under 1 year of age, 203 of children ajred 1 to 4 years, and 1,024 deaths of persons aged 05 years and over. There were three deaths from smallpox during the month. Nile* Bank Short 8160,000. An official who stands high in Washington and whom the people there For half an hour°she c l u n g 4 - t r u s t a o & o l u t « l y , ™akes a statement concerning the shortage of the First National bank, of Niles, which is accepted as final. He says be has learned from the comptroller that the shortage is 3160,000. In this latter event depositors will receive very nearly all their deposits. The capital stock will make good 8100,000 of the shortage, while the surplus will take care of 825,000 more. This would leave but 850,000 shortage, which would easily be realized from the assessment on stock. The cost of winding up the bank's affairs will be considerable. However, it is predicted depositors will receive at iease 90 per cent of their holdings. \ He ispresident of the Epworth League, and at the same time serves as bar ten- MINOR M I C H I G A N M A T T E R S . Hillsdale has 27 women's clubs, Centreville will be dry after May ,1. A summer school will be held at Duvand. Indications of coal have been found near Northville, and prospecting will soon be commenced. Additional rural free delivery service has been ordered established at Ann Arbor, to take effect May 15. The ice jam in the St. Clair riv^r at Algonac broke loose on the 13th, ?nd moved slowly down the river. The township board has granted a franchise through the village and township of Dimondale to the promotors of the ISattle Creek and Lansing electric railroad. Owing to the increases in valuations at Grand Rapids, announced by the assessors, the board is now confronted by more than 700 able-bodied kicks from enraged taxpayers. Farmers in Uranch county are worried over the continued drouth and cold nights. The wheat crop in the county has been almost a total failure during the past two seasons. On the night of the 8th fire destroyed the handle factory of Mitchell Bros, at Cadillac. The loss is estimated at 800,- 000, with 840,000 insurance. It is pr obable that the factory will be rebuilt. The victory won by the Gretna Green people, S t Joseph, against the ministers of the state, is highly satisfactory to the people of that city. It insures the re-election of Rep. John Lane, whe led the fight. Lansing people are greatly concerned in the smallpox outbreak in Delta township which adjoins Ingham county on the west. There arc a number of cases in the township and the entire population is in danger. Byron has a curious anomaly in the shape of John Fritz, aged 19, who is the son of the Byron saloon keeper. Hustling Out Do* Law Notices. Secretary of State Warner's Office force was busily engaged on the 8th in sending out copies of the new dog law to county clerks. The law was signed by Gov. Bliss on that day, and within three hours steps had been taken to notify all county clerks, of its provisions. The law takes immediate effect and supersedes the dog license law of two years ago. Hereafter the supervisors and other assessing officers will levy a tax of 83 on. every female dog and $1 on every male dog in their jurisdiction. ~~ Reports from Sanlt Ste. Marie on the Oth say that the Sco is free of ice. der in his father'* place of business. A baby boy about 2 days' old was found on the 12th in the creek in the city limits of Bessemer, tied in a cof-, fee sack with its throat cut, and a stone tied Jo the bag to sink it. School boys found it. The body had not been there more than one day. S t Joseph is sadly in need of dwelling houses, and the board of trade and wealthy citizens at a mass meeting on the 12th hit upon the plan of organizing a house association, with a capital stock of 970,000, for the purpose of constructing new houses and selling them to laboring men on the installment nlan and for renting.

May Tower, the Michigan army nurse who died in Porto Rico, monument shall be erected at Byron; appropriating 8^5,400 for the school for the blind. Rep. Chandler's ad valorem railroad tax bill, amended so that the state tax commission alone shall constitute the assessing board, was reported out for printing on the Oth by the committee on railroads. The bill is amended so that it will not go intoefTjet until Jan. 1, 1932, when the repeal of the special railroad charters—the Michigan Central, the Lake Shoro. etc. — will have become effective. If it were given effect at an earlier date, som* of the roads for a year would be paying specific taxes while others would be paying ad valorem taxes. The bill provides for the assessing of the property j Port Huron; to validate certain actions of railroad, telegraph, telephone, ex- j of St. Step.tens' church of Adrian; to press, sleeping-car and fast freight line j provide for an, itssistant prosecutor in St. Clair county; authorizing theOceana J Telephone Co, of Oceana county, to bond-for 820.000; to amend the charter The senate passed the following bills on the 10th: ' For the relief o f Edwin C.

'' Considerable doubt is expressed as to whether the Chandler railroad taxation bill is constitutional in its pre&ent shape, as it provide* a board composed of the lieutenant-governor, state treasurer and attorney-general, to make the assessment on the railroads and other corporations namad in the bill and then adds tho members of the state tax commission to make up a board of review. The constitutional amendment states that the average rate struek by the assessing board shall not be subject to review, and the question is whether another board can be called in to review the work of the regular assessing board, which has the duty of fixing tho average rate. The house on the afternoon of the 10th passed Rep. Nevin's garnishee bill by a vote of 79 yeas to 15 nays. The bill allows an exemption of 80 per cent of the amount of money due an employe, with a proviso that in no case shall the amount exempted be' less than 88 nor more than 830. The present law provides that an exemption shall not be less than 825 in all cases. The following bills were passed by the senate on tho 11th: To increase the pay of election inspectors, clerks j and gate keepers in Spring-wells town- I ship, Wayne county; to loan Alackinac Island 810,000; to amend the charter of companies on the ad valorem system.

C H I N A WAR N E W S . The Mongolian prince, Olaskan, -ather-in law of Prince Tuan, proves to be an important factor in the rebellion now in progress. He urges the rebellious troops to march on Sian lTu. Chinese knowing Gen. Tung Pu Sian say the emperor brought the rebellion on his own head when he published tho edict threatening the general with future punishment. On account of his present power and influence Gen. Tung Fu Sian would not permit this, and naturally desires to prove that power*. He has the entire Mohammedan people with him. Prince Tuan also has a large following, whpe Prince Olaskan controls the entire province of Mongolia. The rumors which have been current i during the past few days of the outtive to registration, compelling re-reg- ! break of a rebellion headed by Gen. istration of voters in Saginaw count}', i Tung-Fu-Sian (the former commander Two bills now in the hands of the house village corporation committee will be of much interest to the various villages of the state. One provides for of the northern army) in the provinces of Mongolia and Shen-Si, have been absolutely authenticxted. Unofficial Chiuamen of intelligence regard the the election of a village president for a | n s i n ? a s most unfortunate, at thepresterm of two vears instead of one as a t Ke n t t l r a e ' to t h e interests of China, and as present, and the other provides for the possibly meaning the use of foreign election by the people of a marshall and street commissioner. At present those officers are appointed by the president, and in many cases it is claimed the appointments are made with a view of building up political fences or with some personal ends rather than with an aim for the villages' best interests. The bill is likely to receive favorable consideration this week. In committee of the whole on the 8th, the senate, by a vote of 12 to 12, agreed to Senator Loorais' bill providing that there shall be women members of the state asylum boards. The joint resolution requesting congress to submit to a vote of the people a federal constitutional amendment permitting candidates for IT. S. offices to be voted for directly by the people instead of having them elected by the state legislatures, was agreed to. Senator Murfin's bill cutting down the time in which suits may ba brought for personal injuries from three to* two years was also agreed to. The following bills were passed by the house on the Oth: Constituting the five supervisors of the city of Adrian a board of review for the assesHment of property; limiting the amount to bo raised for municipal purposes in the city of Grand Rapids to 1 per c e n t The present limit is 1M per cent; changing name of the state house( of correction and reformatory at l o n i * to Michigan reformatory. troops to protect even the court itself.

T o walk straight lip to the door of a strange bouse, with nothing but ' a plaid shawl thrown over your head, requires a considerable amount of courage and nerve. At every step of the way Miss Marjorie's scruples grew stronger—her sense of outraged propriety more clear. At last she cam© to a dead, step, Just as they reached the outer gate of Hollow Ash Hall. "What is It now?" asked Cowley, patting her hand encouragingly. "I really can't go in, Charles!" "Nonsenoe!" "They will think I am mad. Only sect I konw that my hair is half down and I have no bonnet! Don't make me go there, Charles, till I am more presentable—there's a dear." "Madam, do you intend to obey your lawful husband or not?" said Mr. Cowley, with mock solemnity. "But, Charles, do hear reason." "No, I won't! I've had enough of reason in my life. So come along, my love. The moment you enter yonder door you will get a warm greeting for my sake, and no one will stop to think whether you have a bonnet on or not. But that is just like you women! You can't even die comfortably unless you have a fashionable winding sheet to be wrapped in! ,fMen never study appearance—that is- a fact well known!" said Miss Marjorie, quietly. He laughed, and led her up the avenue. The shutters of the house were all closed, but through a crevice iu one of tho lov/ windows came a bright line of light, testifying to the presence of its occupants. "Now look for it! Look an dignified as you can, Marjorie," said Mr. Cowley, and rang the bell. A light came rapidly through ths hall. The door was opened, and a stout female.with a candle in her hand, peered doubtfully out into the night. "la it you, master?" she began. And ju&t then catching sight of the muffled figure of Marjorie, she gavo a shrill yell of horror and ran away. "tt's ould Queen Bess herself, and a tall black man with her!" they heard her scream—and then came a B^bel of voices from the inner room. "Shut the door! Lock it! Kee.T them out!" said one. "t do wish papa would come! It Is too* bad to leave us in such a place alonel" sighed another. 'But some one is really at the door," *poke up a third. "It is all nonsense about Queen Bess; I am going to see what they want!" "Oh, don't. Rose!" cried her mother and Bister. "indeed, Miss Rose, it is Quoen Bess as natural as life!" put in Mrs. Macarthy. •'Nonsense," replied Rose, and taking the candlo she went out to the door with a firm step. "Who is It, and what do you want?" she asked, quietly. Mr. Cowley stepped in, and let the ligfcJt shin© full upon his face. •'Won't you know me. Rose?" "Why Charles—Cousin Charles, can it b e your* "tt is really me." "But I thought you were in Australia." "So I was till a few weeks ago. Don't •be alarmed. Rose; I am no ghost, but solid flesh and blood. And here is some one else, for whom I must crave a welcome—my wife, Rose, whom your servant mistook for the apparition of Queen Elizabeth." Rose stared, as well she might, when he drew in Miss Marjorie beside him. But Cousin Charles was her great favorite, and she had faith in everything ho did—in everybody he loved. So she held out her hand to the boun d l e s s stranger, with a pleasant smile, and then led the way to the drawing roo«i. "Mamma, you will never guess who has came!" she exclaimed. "Cousin Charles Cowley from Australia, and his wife." Greatly bewildered, Mrs. Cowley came forward to welcome her guests. She had the wildest notions about the manners and customs of foreign countries and seeing a tall, stately lady with a plaid cloak doing duty for head and shoulders, as bonnet and shawl, she instantly fancied that it must be the native co3tume of the land from whk*t she came—the ne plus ultra of all elegance and grace among the ladies of Melbourne and Sydney. It was good to see Mr. Cowley's face as the consciousness of her mistake dawned upon him by degrees. "Dear me! Charles from Australia, and his wife!. My dear, you are most welcome. Will you lay aside your—•' She was at a i o s s .h#v; to designate the article of dress, hut finally hit upon the word, "'burnous" as being the most suitable to the purpose. "Will you take off your burnous, my dear?" At that Mr. Cowley burst out laughing. "My dear aunt, it is not a burnous, but an old platd cloak!" he exclaimed. "And my wife never saw Australia in her life. She has been living in this neighborhood for more than a year, and I just found her out by the merest chance in the world to-night, and immediately ran away with her." Every face, even Mrs. Macarthy's, expressed the moot intense interest, and curiosity. . "If you will sit down I will tell you the story in a very few words," he observed; and within Ave minutes he was the centre of a most cosy-looking circle, with Miss Marjorie upon his right hand and Rose upon his left. "You must al know that my Marjorie is an orphan," he begun. "I mot her first at a house in London, where, among the gayest of parties, her little pale, sad face caught my eye, and without my knowing it won my heart. Tt was her uncle's house, but she was not happpy there. Her cousins tyrannized over her—her aunt snubbed her—^and I soon found that her uncle and myself were almost the only friends she had in the world. No doubt I twisted this fact to my own purpose. I own candidly that I rejoiced when others were rude to her, so that she might see that I was kind. I won h2r, I do believe, more because she was grateful to me than'because she loved me; but the love came afterwards, so that it did not matter. I won her, and made her my wife, in spite of all the sheers of her cousins, and the discouraging coldness of her aunt. "For a time, we v/era very happy, Then some unknown correspondent began to trouble my peace. Anonymous letters came to me day after day, which told me that my wife wa3 not what she seemed—that she loved another—that she only waited her time to play mo false. "I was foolish enough to read the slanders—to think of them—at last, to believe them. Circumstances, which looked suspicious then, but which I have seen by a far clearer light since, came up one after another to make m j distrust Marjorie still more. At last I felt so convinced of her faithlessness that I deserted her. "I left a letter saying why I had gone. I left her money, and I hava never seen her face from that day till tonight it beamed upon me out of tho darkness like an accusing spirit. Aunt—Rose—she has been a school teacher—a governess, a companion, during my absence. But she is one of the best and purest women on earth; and I took her away* just as she was, from her drudgery, to come and tell you so. I am sure you will all befriend her. Will you not?" "Every one of us!" was the hearty reply, and Mrs. Cowley folded the young wife in a motherly embrace, and Rose and Catharint "kissed her on the cheek in the most sisterly fashion. Tears stood in Marjorie's dark eyes as they did so; and her husband turnei his head for a moment, as if ashamed of the weakness which he could not help feeling and showing at their kindness. "What the good lady who employs her will say to her elopement, I cannot conjecture," remarked Mr. Cowley after a moment's pause. "Oh! she never had a very good opinion of me!" said Marjorie, cheerfully. "And she will probably utter £» devout thanksgiving when she finds that she is to see me no more. There never was much love lost between us, 1 am afraid." "Was she \ nice person?" asked Catharine. "Not according to my definition of the word nice. I can describe her to you In a very short time. She is a stout women, who thinks herself ill when she is only lazy, and who never gets out of her easy chair except to go to bed or to fly Into a rage—which. she does on an average of twelve times a day. No—decidedly I do not call Mrs. Magnum a nice person." "I should think not!" said Rose, laughing. "I wish I - could see her face when she hears you are gone!" "Never mind Mrs. Magnum, now, said Mr. Cowley. "I want to hear something about my uncle and this road freak of his. What could have put it Into his head to take a haunted house?" "Ah!" said Catharine, ruefully; "you must ask Rose that." "Why?" "Because she was at the bottom of it all!" "Is that so, Rose?" "I am afraid I must plead guilty, Charles. I thought it would be a> nice and mmantte t o live with a g h o s t But I don't like It at all. There U a dreadful cradle-rocking, in the kitchea every right, and not one of us dares to stop there a moment after dusk. Papa heard it the first night we came, and yet he wonrt go away. I think he la a little frightened, but he fancies that people will' laugh at him if he goes away. And so " "And so It will go on till we are all carried* off bodily by these horrible cradle-rocking creatures, and then your father will be satisfied," broke in Mrs. Cowley, more in sorrow than in anger. Her nephew broke out laughing. "Ah, you may laugh, Charlie; but I c a n assure you it is no Joke to live In a place that gives you the cold shivers every time you stop to think what It really is. And Mr. Cowley actually talks of spending his Christmas here! But nothing shall tempt me to stay, even if he does. At any rt*her time 1 can stand it; but I will n * eat turkey and plum pudding* Ln company with half a dozen grown-up hobgoblins to please any man alive!" "You are quite right, aunt. But 1 really was not laughing at your troubles, only at your funny way of telling them. But, joking apart, what Is this story about a cradle? Because I have heard something in Australia, which. I think relates to this house." "In Australia? Why, how could any one know of it there?" asked Rose opening her eyes very wide. "Who owns this house?" "A Mr. Vernon." "Exactly so. Do you know what his first name is?" "Alfred," said Mrs. Cowley. Her nephew looked perplexed for a moment; then his face cleared again. "Oh, I see! George was his brother. How long is it since they have lived in this house—the Vernons, I mean?" "Oh, a great many years! Twenty or twenty-two, I think." "That makes the story clear. You must know that I met a Mr. Georg.5 Vernon in Australia—a man about forty years old. He drank to excess and gambled desperately; and, in fact, there were a great many queer stories told of him one way and another. "One night he was in my tent wit'i several of his friends, and t h e - c o n - versation turned upon the reality of ghosts, and the amount of credulity required to believe in them. Vernon said little at first, but later in the evening he suddenly looked up at me and exclaimed, "It is true, every syllable of it. They do come back. I have seen and heard'them, too, by dav and night, for twenty years past. They can come in any shape. They can turn' their hands to anything. Why, I hav-s known one to rock a cradle four-andtwenty hours without ceasing and sin* all the while into the bargain!" " 'What a useful ghost to have in the house with a small family/ said some one, laughing. "I never saw any one turn as pale as Vernon did. " 'Useful! You would not crack your jokes about them if you staid a night alone in my old house at Banley,' he exclaimed. 'Gad! What with the butler's pantry and the turret-room, it's little like laughing you'd feel by morning, I am thinking! Pass me the brandy and let me get it out of my head.' "And sure enough he did get it out of his head; for It took two men to sec him safe home when he left my tent at 10 o'clock that night." "And what do you infer from that, Charles?" inquired his wife. "Why, my dear, this is near Banley, and the only house that I have ever heard of where a cradle rock3. To make assurance doubly sure, Mr Vernon's brother own's the place now. I would be willing to take my oath that the rocking of the cradle has something to do with one-of thesa men; but which of the two'I am not prepared to say." "I saw George," exclaimed Rose, who had been deeply interested in the story. "And I should like to hear the cradle." remarked Mr. Cowley. "Oh, don't think of such a thing! It's too horrible!" exclaimed both the girls. "I only want to convince myself that it does rock." "But we all heard it." "Then I confess I am like the young lady whose grandmother told her that she had found out by her own experience that love-making was very dangerous work. I want to find out by my own experience, too. Where is this cradle?" "In the kitchen." "Does it rock every night?" "Yes." "At what time?" "It begins about nine." "And It now wants a quarter to ten. It must be in full s w i n g by this time. Rose, will you do the honors of the ghost to your old friend?" "Not I." ~ ^ ~ "Catharine?" "I must beg to be exensod." "Well, aunt, will you come?" "No, Charles; I'll never set foot in that awful kitchen again, by day or night, while I have my right senses."

K. 91.7 PER CENT OF A CROP On April 1, Which to the Hl*hctt Avers*© for the P u t lO Tears, May be Blasted by the Pesky Hessian Flyr WtUob Is Reported From Many States. Wheat Crop ln the U. 8. is O. K. The April report of the statistician of the department of agriculture will show the average condition of winter wheat o n April 1 ,to have been 91.7, against 82.1 on April 1, 1900, 77.9 at the corresponding date in 1899, and 83.9, the mean of the April averages of the last 10 years. The averages in the principal states are as follows: Pennsylvania, 89; Ohio, 83; Michigan, 72;. Indiana, 89; Illinois, 92; Texas, 63; Tennessee, 81; Missouri, 98; Kansas, 105, Nebraska, 100; California, 100, and Oklahoma, 97. While the general average of condition, 91.7, is the highest since 1891, the presence of the Uessian fly is reported from an unprecedentedly large number of states, and serious misgivings prevail, even in states reporting a fairly high condition on April 1, as to the possible developments of the next 30 days. The average condition of winter rye on April 1, was 93.1 against 84.8 on April 1, 19»0, 84.9 at the corresponding date in 1899. and 88.3 the mean of the April averages of the last 10 years. In New York and Pennsylvania it was 92, in Illinois and Kansas 100, in Indiana 95, and in Michigan and Ohio 90. Pending the forthcoming publication of the census report on live stock, which will be used for the verification or correction of the department's figures for the year 1900, the statistician has temporarily discontinued his own e s t i m a t e s . o f the number and value of farm animala. While this omission '"»"-' renders it impossible to maice any definite statement as to the losses from disease and exposure during the year ending March, 1901. (the losses being reported as a percentage of the total number of farm animals), the reports received from correspondents leave absolutely no room for doubt that, owing mainly to the general mildness of the past winter, such losses have been much below the average of a series of years. Monument to a Hero Unveiled. The magnificent equestrian siatue of Gen. John Logan, erected in Iowa circle, Washington, in loving memory of the distinguished warrior and statesman by his comrades in arms and by the people, was unveiled on the 9th. The ceremony occurred in the presence of an immense assemblage, including* President McKinley and the members of his cabinet, the surviving members of Gen. Logan's family and many persona eminent in the military and civil life of the nation. A grandson of the general, Master George Tucker, drew the silken cord which released the flattering flags that draped the statue and» disclosed to view the heroic bronze figure. Tom L> Cats Loose on Taxation. Mayor Tom L. Johnson.of Cleveland, has decided that the corporations doing business in that city do not pay their just proportion of taxes and has taken steps to have their assessments increased. A force of clerks has been put t o work preparing a list of all the big concerns, together with blue prints of their establishments and the taxes they pay. When full information has been obtained the mayor proposes to go before the city board of equalization and demand that the corporations be compelled to pay what be terms equitable taxes. The mayor, it is announced, will make a special effort to show that the steam and electric railways are assessed far too low. Whole Family Wiped Out. T h e family of J as. Smith, including the father, mother and four children, were instantly killed in their home on the n i g h t of the 9th by the sliding of t h e h u g e dump of the Granite mine, near Cripple Creek, Col. The Smith residence w a s located just below the base of the damp. The recent snows had softened the dump so that the top suddenly slid down, crushing the house and burying its inmates. Hundreds of m e n are now digging away the dirt and rook. No American Land for Britain. Negotiations on the Hay-Pauneefete abrogation of the Clayton-Bui wer treaty are progressing, though they have s o t y e t passed the tentative stage. A -representative of the Associated Press says that they are being conducted on a quid pro quo basis and that no other method of abrogation would be considered by the British government The foreign office hopes that a settlement, satisfactory to both the LI. S. and Great Britain will be arrived at before congress is reconvened. It is estimated that it will require at least 10,000 harvest hands to take care of the small grain in the wheat pelt of Kansas this year. C U B A A N D PHILIPPINE N E W S . The establishment of civil govern* meat in the Phillipines, which ia to take place about July 1, brings up the question of who will be in supreme authority under the President. The law says that "all military, civil and judicial powers shall be vested in such person or persons as the President shall direct" The language has been weighed very carefully and the designation "person" followed by "perw>ns" is taken to mean that the President shall name some one to have supreme command under his own direction and that the "persona" shail be those acting under that command. Judge Taft, it is understood, is to be the governor of the islands, but it will be necessary to have some one in Washington to act as a medium of communication between the President and the governor. Since the rebellion in the Philippines, 50,000 is the lowest estimate of the war department of the casualties sustained by the Filipino forces; 7,007 rifles have been captured or surrendered; 605,143 rounds of ammunition, as shown by incomplete returns, have been seized. The number of Filipinos killed cannot be accurately determined, as Gen. MacArthur, in his dispatches, states that it is impossible to be accurate on this point It would not surprise officials should the Filipino fatalities reach 25.000, and some say that 50.000 is closer to the real figures. AdjtGen. Corbin is satisfied that the casualties suffered by the Filipinos will in themselves form a potent reason for the abandonment of further resistance by the natives. Gen. MacArthur says it is impossible to make a statement concerning Aguinaldo now. It is possible that Agulnaldo will soon be removed from the Malacanang palace to a large house, with pleasant grounds in a fashionable part of the city of Manila, beside the Pasig river, which is being renovated and prepared for occupancy. Aguinaldo is purchasing diamonds and other jewelry. Be continues to receive certain visitors,but neUvspaper correspondents are excluded. It is believed he is reluctant to sign the manifesto he is -preparing owing to the conditions attached to i t Although the officials are uncoramunative it is nevertheless said that Aguinaldo signed the peace manifesto on the "9th. Chief Justice Arellano drafted the document Aguinaldo strongly objected to two clauses of the manifesto and considerabe argument was required to overcome his objections. Col. Aba, the insurgent leader of Zatnbales province, with 13 officers, 80 men and 92 rifles, surrendered to Lieut Col. Maneil C. Gootrell, commanding the marines stationed at Olongapo, oa Subig bay on the 8th. Gen. Malvar, with about 3o0 men and as many rifles, is expected to surrender shortly at Silang, in Cavite province. The trial of M. Brix Uoelterman, the Belgian who was connected with the Philippine Trading Co, and whose arrest oc the charge of furnishing supplies to the insurgents was announced Feb. 19. has been cotnpleted. The evidence of the Filipino nolonel, Herrera, who recently surrendered, clinched the prosecution. The colonel testified tl at Hoelterman had furnished money and rice supplies to the insurgents. Under the old regulations, cockpits will be re-established in Manila, the privilege of conducting them being granted to the widow of Capt Lara, who commanded the native police of the city. Formerly the municipal revenue derived from cock fighting amounted to 100,000 annually. Gen. Sandico, a former member of Aguinaldo's cabinet has surrendered to the American authorities at Cabanatuan. in the province of New Ecija. Ue has a bad record and may be tried. %W T R A N S V A A L WAR ITEMS. A rather unexpected result has followed Mr. Chamberlain's recent speech in support of the scheme tor sending women out to South Africa at the conclusion of the war. An enormous number of letters has been received from women eager to emigrate and reluctant to wait till hostilities are ended. One woman who wrote direct to Lord Salisbury said she was prepaxvd to go out at once with her mother and sisters, but she indicated no particular sphere of usefulness. Another wrote to the colonial office in behalf of herself and a few other "first-class lady barbers." Naturally the colonial office authorities are doing their utmost to discourage applications from women other than those who are selfdependent, and girls of the servant type are urgently advised not to go out at all. It is very doubtful whether^ there will be any openings for them, and the public funds cannot be used' for the purpose of granting free passages to the cape. According to a dispatch from Lord Kitchener, Pluraer occupied Pieteraburg on the 8th with slight opposition, capturing two locomotives and 39 tmcks. The capture of Pietershurg l*» regarded in London as important The place is the terminus of the railway and has been the capital of the Boer government since the evacuation of Pretoria, The whole northern railway is now in the hands of t h e British. According to the dispatch only one officer and one man were- killed. i:&> • ,*>i • ,/v .¾^ '-'-V '^.;^''' .•VtH" ./ ./ V > : ^ : ^ **- -.'MD»j.-.^ JLAINF1EUV F . M. VanSyckel ii courting these days.

Early Monday morning while Bernard Glenn and Aubrey Gilchrist were driving to school and on reaching the Ry. road crossing just west of town, they saw tbeycould not cross the track before the train passed so turned their horse to the left to clear the train. Just at this time another horse driven by Harold Grippen became unraanagable, dashed in the back of Glenn's rig which crowded the baggy so close the track that the fourth coach caught the wheel, thus forcing the horse into the fence. After the train passed the boys found they had escaped injury, but the two rigs were demolished and Glenn's horse was so badly injured it had to be killed. This is the second accident which has occured at that crossing within the past year. OBITUARY. Card of Thanks.

Senator Opposed to Treaty, Long interviews were had on the 15Ui between Secretary Hay and Senators Foraker and Lodge, supposedly with reference to the proposed isthmian canal treaty which is to replace the Hay - Pauncefote treaty if Secretary Hay succeeds in his task of reconciling the views of the senate and the administration. The talks that the secretary of state thus far has had with senators on the subject of a canal treaty have revealed a considerable opposition to any treaty at all, some senators insisting that nothing more is requisite to the construction of the canal than the abrogation of the Clayton - Bulwer treaty, and it is still far from certain that a treaty can be drafted that will rotnmaod the support of two-thirds of the senate, and still be reasonably acceptable to Great Britain. THE CALL OF PEACE. -djpirh Women of New York Seldom Mothers. One of the subjects discussed at the recent meeting of clergymen, at New York, called to consider the growing passion of society women for gambling, was the fact that there are so few children in the homes of the rich and so many in the tenements. The ministers deplore the fact that there are so few young people in their congregations and so few children in the Sunday schools. Reports from 13 prominent •churches attended by families of weallh •and fashion showed a total membership of 9,6G1 with but 1500 children on 'the rolls of the Sunday schools. It was reported that only 61 children attended 'Sunday school of a church which has 1,000 members. Will She Become a Nan ? It is reported that Queen Marie Amelie, wife of Don Carlos, king of Portugal, has resolved to become a nun. This is a direct result of the protracted quarrel between the royal couple over the king's attitude toward the religious orders of the country. She is a devout Catholic while her husband sides with the liberals, and during the recent disturbances he openly espoused their cause against the church. However, in the better informed circles at LlslK> n it is declared that the story is ab- .fcolutely fantastical. ^ ^ _ ftfartlnelll Now a Cardinal.

SKUNK FARMS DO NOT FAY. Official Report on the Babjeet «• the secretary of Agriculture. A newspaper story of the profits made by raising skunks for their skins is giving officials of the agricultural department no end of trouble. It first bobbed up about a year ago. It set forth thai the agricultural department had been studying skunk culture, and had found that the beasts were more profitable than a gold mine. As a result of the story the department has received many letters of inquiry. T. S. Palmer, assistant chief of the biological survey, wants to correct this misapprehension. In a report to Secretary Wilson he says: "Misled by the statements about the rapid increase of skunks and the high prices paid for their skins, many persons seriously considered starting skunk farms.' For several years a list has been kept of such farms located in various parts of the country, but so far as can be learned, most of them have been abandoned. Raising fur-bearing animals for profit is not a new idea. The industry, however, has apparently never advanced beyond the experimental stage, except in the case of the farms for raising the Arctic or blue fox, established on certain islands of the coast of Alaska. Minks and skunks breed rapidly in captivity but the low price of skins make the profits rather small. Last season the highest market price for prime black skunk skins from the northern states averaged about $1.45 each, but white skins sold as low as 15 to 20 cents apiece. Skins that have much white or which are obtained from the southern states usually bring less than $1 each, a price that leaves little margin for profit after paying the expense of raising the animal in captivity." —New York Sun.

HowDont Get the Blues: When a cheerful, brave end light-hearted woman is suddenly plunged into tha£ perfection of misery, the blues, it is a sad picture. It is usually this way r She has been feeling out of sorts for some time, experiencing severe headache and backache; sleeps very poorly and is exceedingly nervous. Sometimes she is nearly overcome by faintness, dizziness, and palpitation of the heart; then that bearing-down feeling is dreadfully wearing. Her husband says, " Now, don't get the blues I You will be all right after you have taken the doctor's medicine." But she does not get all right She grows worse day by day, until all at once she realizes that a distressing female complaint is established. Her doctor has made a mistake. She loses faith; hope vanishes: then comes the morbid, melancholy, everlasting blues. She should have been told just what the trouble was, but probably she withheld some information from the doctor, who, therefore, is unable to accurately locate her particular illness. Mrs. Pinkham has relieved thousands of women from just this kind of trouble, and now retains their grateful letters in her library as proof Of the great assistance she has rendered them. This same assistance awaits every sick woman in the land. Mrs. Winifred Altender** Letter. u V A V |MKJWIUfREP ALUNM8I DEAR MRS.

DUftreno* Between Lets, *»•*, *"* i > n of Man and W«a«b The two sides of a person's face are never alike. The eyes are out of line In two cases out of five, and one eye is stronger in seven persons out of ten. The right ear is also, as a rule, higher than the left. Only one person in fifteen has perfect eyes, the largest percentage of defects prevailing among fair-haired people. Short sight is more common in town than among country folk, and of all people the Germans have the largest proportion of short-sighted persons. The crystalline lens of the eye Is the one portion of the human body which continues to increase in size throughout life and does not cease with the attainment of maturity. The smallest interval of sound can be better distinguished with one ear than with both. In fifty-four cases out of 100 the left leg is stronger than the right. The bones of an average human male skeleton weigh twenty pounds; those of a woman are six pounds lighter. That unruly member, the tongue of a woman, is also smaller than that of a. man, given a man and a woman <of equal size and weight. It may be appalling to reflect, but it is nevertheless true, that the muscles of the human body exert a force of over 500 pounds. The symmetry which is the sole intelligible ground for OUT idea of beauty, the proportion between the upper and lower half of the human body, exists in nearly all males, but is never found in the female. American limbs are more symmetrical thai those of any other people. An aw. trage head of fair hair oonalsts of «t,040 hairs, dark hair ot 105,000, wnile a red head has only 29200. Fairhaired people are becoming less numerous than formerly. A person who has lived seventy years Las had pass through his heart about 675,020 tons of blood, the' whole of the blood in the body passing through the heart in about thirty-two beatB. '.The heart beats on an average of seventy times a minute, or 35,792.000 times in the course of a yeat\ so that the heart of an ordinary man, eighty years of age, has beaten 3,000,000 times. The heart beats ten strokes a minute less when one is lying down than when one is in an upright jjosition.—Chicago Journal. OTHER NOTABLE CURES. A Husband Escaped the Pangs of Catarrh at the Lungs, Most Cases of Incipient Consumpttoa Are Catarrh. BISHOP HANDY SAYS ' Ml Cheerfully Recommend Peruna t o All W h o Want a Good Tonic and a Safe Cure for Catarrh." Prominent members of the clergy are giving Peruna their unqualified endorsement These men find Peruna especially adapted to preserve them, from catarrh of the vocal organs which has always been the bane of publicspeakers, and general catarrhal debility Incident to the sedentary life of the ciergyman. Among the recent utterances of noted clergymen on the curative virtues of Peruna is the following one from Bishop James A. Handy,. D. D„ of Baltimore: «/ take great pleasure in acknowledging the curative effects of Peruna. At the solicitation of a Mend I used your remedy and cheerfully recommend your Peruna to all who want a good Tonic and a safe cure tor catarrh."'—James A. Handy. why Peruna has become so Justly famous m the cure of catarrhal diseases. It cures catarrh wherever located. Its cures remain. Peruna does not pallitate; it cures. Mrs. Frederick Williams, President of the South Side Ladies' Aid Society of Chicago, 111., writes the following words of praise KUhnmiiinuunnuij for Peruna from : 973 Cuyler ave., Chicago, 111.: "My home i s : never w i t h o u t : Peruna, for I : have found d u r - ing the past sixyears that there: is no remedy"' that will at once 1 alleviate suffer- arrrrTTTMMmTMTTTumiii ing and actually Mrs. Fred Williams, cure, as Peruna does. Four bottles completely cured me of catarrh of the head of several years' standing, and if my husband feels badly, or either of us catch cold, we at once take Peruna, and in a day or two it has thrown the sickness out of the system."—Mrs. Frederick Williams. Mrs. W. A. Allison, of 759 Sheffield avenue, Chicago, 111., is the Assistant Matron of the •""• .Muiiiiinniiimu People's Hospi- q — P tal.

Edward Stevens. Mrs. Edward Stevens of Carthage, N. Y., writes as follows: "I now take pleasure in notifying you that my husband has entirely recovered from catarrh. He is a well man today, thanks to you and Peruna. He took six bottles of your medicine as directed, and it proved to be just the thing for him. His appetite is good and every thing he eats seems to agree with him. His cough has left him and he is gaining in flesh, and seems to be well every way. I hope others will try your medicine and receive the benefits that we have."—Mrs. Edward Stevens. When the catarrh reaches the throat it is called tonsilitis, or larnygitia. Catarrh of the bronchial tubes is called bronchitis; catarrh of the lungs, consumption. Any internal remedy that will cure catarrh in one location will cure it in any other location.

Mauy travelers returning from c h i n a have commented upon the apparently singular lack of knowledge of the distances across their country or between their towns that exists among tlie Chinese, If at one town you inquire the distance to the next, you may be told thai it is 20 li (one-third of a mile), but upon arriving at the town yon will be surprised to iiml the distance hack to the town from which you have j i n t come is 24 li and that the cost of journeying back again is correspondingly greater than the cost to go to it. The Chinese measure distance'not by' rule, but by the amount of pliysh-al energy required to traverse them. Their w a g e is based on a unit of energy, the amount that it taki's them to carry a given load, one picul one li, on level ground. If the road from A to 1» is down hill, the distance is regarded as less than the actual linear distance because it is supposed to take less energy to travel in that direction, or, as the Chinese say. "the li are short." It naturally follows that in traveling in the other direction, from B back to A. the road being a gradual ascent, a greater expenditure of energy is necessary. "The li are long." and in order to get a fair compensation for their work the carriers must see that the distance and the charges t>re correspondingly increased. With .this explanation what lias often appeared as a vagary of the Chinese becomes simple and reasonab l e - L e s l i e ' s Weekly. TO Cure a. Cold in One Day T a k e Laxative Bromo Ouinin« Tanlets.

W h n t tln> W h i t e >I<»n <'linr«ed T h e m F o r KilliiiK Out* Dii-.iki'v, In "Ueininisi-ences of (Mil Times In Tennessee" a story Is told of the good faith and honor of a party of Chickas a w Indians. While hunting one fall they shot a donkey, mistaking the creature for a wild animal. They sold t h e hide, and it finally came to the hands of John Barnes in Lint on. When the Chiekasaws returned to the region of Liptoii for their annual hunt the next fall, Barnes invited them to a shooting match, the prize to be the skin of a very r a r e animal. Thirty braves appeared at the eontest, and. one of them won the prize. When he saw the skin, he turned it over and said: "Ha, ha. me kill him! Me shoot him! Seel" And he pointed to the fatal bullet hole. Then Barnes told them that they had killed a donkey, a very useful animal. b u t he was sure t h a t they had done It b y mistake, believing it to be a wild animal. The Indians listened attentively to the» white man's words and then con* suited •together a few minutes. Finally they separated, each brave going to his pony, unhitching him and loading him to the spot where a gang of white men stood, Barnes in the midst of them. Then one of the Indians spoke: . " W e sorry we kill donkey. We think he belong.to the woods.' We tind him in cane. We think him wild.' We sorry; now we pay. We ta' o no white man's hoss, pony, nothing of white man. We honest. We have ponies, t h a t ' s all. Take pay. ' And he motioned to the long line of ponies, held by their owners. " H o w many'.'" asked Barnes. "White man say," returned t h e ,Indian, "take plenty." The honor of the red 1110:1 was not equaled by the white nfen. for. be it recorded to t h e i r ' shame, they took from the Chiekasaws 'in ponies to p:iy for the accidental killing of one don-, key.

Few mountaineers go fur enough Into the :iv?>.l:ini'he regions to see much of them, ami lower still know the thrilling exhilaration of ruling on them, says .John Muir in The Atlantic. In all my wild mountaineering 1 have enjoyed only one avalanche ride, and the start was so sudden and the end came so soon I thought hut little of the clanger t h a t goes with this sort of travel, though one thinks fast at such times. One calm, bright morning in Yoseinite, after a hearty storm had given throe' or four feet of fresh snow 10 the mountains, being eager to see as many avalanches as possible and gain wide views of lhe peaks and forests arrayed in their new robes before the su.ishine had time to change or rearrange them, I set out early to climb by a side canyon to the top of a commanding ridge a little over 3,000 feet above the valley. Hut I was not to get top views of any sort t h a t day, but Instead of these something quite different, for deep tranipjing near the canyon head when1 the snow was strained started an avalanche, and 1 was swished back down to the foot of the canyon as if by enchantment. The plodding, wallowing ascent of about a mile had taken all day, the undoing descent perhaps about a minute. When the snow suddenly gave way, I instinctively threw myself on my back and spread my arms to try to keep from sinking. Fortunately, though the grade of the canyon w a s steep, it was not interrupted by step levels or precipices big enough to cause outbouncling or free plunging. On no part of the rush was I buried. I was only moderately imbedded on t h e surface or a little below it and covered with a hissing bach streaming veil, and as the whole mass beneath or about me joined in the flight I felt no friction, though tossed here and there and lurched from side to side, and when die torrent wedged and came to rest 1 found myself on the top of the crumpled pile, without a single bruise or KiraTr — •••-•. IlaWthorne s a y s ' t h a t steam has spiritualized travel, notwithstanding the smoke, friction, smells and clatter of boat and mil riding. This flight in a milky way of snow flowers was the most spiritual of all my travels, and after many years the mere thought of it is still an exhilaration. AINTING BIG SIGNS. CURIOUS PRIVILEGES. Some of the T'reroffntivem Which EmbaiiMuUor* Slay E x e r c i s e . A curious privilege of an embassa-dor is t h a t ho and he alone when dismissed may turn his back to the sovereign to whose court ho is accredited. The mode of procedure is as follows: When the embassador's audience is over, he waits to be dismissed by the sovereign. When dismissed, the embassador bows, retires three paces. bows again, retires another three paces, bows a third time, turns on his heels and walks to the folding doors. But it is felt t h a t more polite methods should obtain when t h e reigning sovereign is a woman. To turn his back is to be discourteous, to walk backward is to resign a privilege. The embassador retires sideways, like a crab. H e keeps one eye on t h e sovereign and with t h e other tries to see the door. H e t h u s shows politeness to the sovereign and at the same time retains one of his privileges. As the embassador is usually an old gentleman, often short sighted, he sometimes fails to reach t h e door and comes in collision with the wall. ^Another privilege of embassadors is the right of being ushered into the royal presence through folding doors, both of which must be flung wide open. No one except an embassador can claim this privilege. T h e ' most any nonombassadorial person can expect is tli.it one of the leaves shall be o p e n e d to hi in. The reason for this privih'gv is not known. There are certain irreverent suggest ions that have been made. 1 Ji;t we prefer to be silent wit !i .IV.LV;: r I' to them. •\ '"'! t:i ; privilege, capable* of causing •.•.V'.'t i'.eeiiveniem-o. is the omkissn- 'lorV . v i a <.f admission to the sov ef:': .; .;' a a v l.oiir oi" the day or night.

ARTISTS WHO DEVOTE THEIR TALENT TO ADVERTISING PURPOSES. # Some of Them Have Had Yeurit of Training In D r a w i n g and Color Work, and Some Have Studied In Famous Old World Atelier*. Although the vivid advertisements of Jhe excellences of foods, ointments, l-lothing, all mechanical appliances known to man and a thousand other things never dreamed of in the philosophy of a hundred yeaYsTSljo a\*e continually catching t h e eye and possibly Shocking the artistic sensibilities of the beholder, few of the ordinary observers give a moment's question to the makers of advertisements. The advertising craze has grown of late to such huge and unlovely proportions t h a t a n y brief account fails to explain its workings. The office of a large advertising concern is one of the busiest places in town. Artists are constantly appearing with designs for the firm, a small army of men with paint pots and brushes a r e hovering about waiting to be sent out. and everywhere are gny evidences of the results of all this labor. " W h o are the men that paint these* 'heroic' pictures one sees on unused walls and lofty fences?" asked a reporter of one of the men who keeps these subordinates busy. "They are not the people you think ' rhem, I fancy." was t h e ausvrer. "Iir* I stead of being daubers, with about the ability necessary to wield a w h i t e w a s h brush, our best men are real artists. ! Ky this I mean that many of them have had yearn of training in d r a w i n g ; and color work. Several of them have : studied abroad in the ateliers of well ! known men. A m a n whom I saw paintlug a head on a wall yesterday is a 'night instructor in a Brooklyn a r t ' school. Recently one of our men painted on a large wall the biggest portrait ever attempted. He ha 1 studied five : "Tears in the Paris art schools." j " W h y do they take up this work'/" j " T h e other doesn't pay. It's a case of 'comnietcialism in art.' They tind that they can't m a k e the real thing ' pay. so they come to this common calling. There's money in it. Why, our star painters get #50 a week. . The daubers, who put in backgrounds, don't earn more than $10 or $15 a week." j The men who paint the designs in various inaccessible and conspicuous places have with them small copies uf the designs to be reproduced. Long experience makes them expert in accurately tracing the design upon the chosen surface. Although the familiar advertisements scattered over the city seem exactly alike and one face seems the exact counterpart of another, yet closer inspection will *>how various points of difference. In the ease of a •very familiar picture which is displayed from one end of the United States to the other, when it was first brought out oue man w a s hired for the sole purpose of painting t h a t one design, and to do this he traveled from Maine to California. ; "Not tiie least of our difficulties," said the advertising .man, "is 'linding places to put our signs. We hire men iwho do nothing else but go about and obtain permission from owners to put i up billboard.; on their premises, use n vacant wall or decorate a fence or a | ropf. It needs great tn.-t to do this, j W h e n there are objections, they m u s t I be overcome, and after this is done [the owner often gets the idea that his , available space is worth thousands of dollars to us and to him. The experiences of advertising men among farmers and t r a m p s would m a k e a mighty interesting book." " W h y do you say t r a m p s ? " "Oh, the t r a m p s are our worst enemies. They build fires behind our (billboards and burn them or else tear them down out of sheer wantonness." j When asked about the price a blank brick wall in a conspicuous part of ; New York would bring to its owner if he let it for advertising purposes, the advertising man laughed and said ho , could not tell that, but he did not mind ' saying that he was now [laying $0.000 \ year rent for a wall in the middle of the shopping district. "This is not an I unusual sum to pay," he added, "for such prominent positions." ! Advertising firms a r e liberal sub- ; soribers to all art magazines, partieu- ! larly to those French art periodicals which display the newest d r a w i n g s of the still popular poster. The ideas of the foreign artists are taken freely and converted into gaudy designs for advertising the latest song or a new cigar without the least compensation, since, as the advertisers assert, American Ideas are. assimilated abroad just ns j unceremoniously. Not all the large reproductions of tig- J ures and faces on our streets and along j the roof tops a r c handwork. Many of J them are machine made. Ky a process ikln to that of making lithographs machines have been invented to lay the colors automatically. The finished product, quite devoid of personality, presents, accurately a copy of the worktag design,—New York Post. BOLTON'S LAST YEAR. T h e W a r He Spent It P r e p a r i n g - F o r H U D e a t h . "Billy Bolton, the Lansingburg brewer, was a very rich man and one with a. host of friends," said an up s t a t e man! to the New York Sun. "f'Hf8 brewery in Lansingburg was a profitable concern, and he practically owned about all the saloons in t h a t town. "One day after a consultation his physicians told him t h a t he had Bright'* disease and that he surely would not live more than a year. Bills*. t o ° k t h e w word for it a n d made up his mind to make the fur fly while life w a s left. H e had never traveled much, and so he decided to go around the world. " H e took with him a congenial friend and plenty of money, and a w a y they went. They left a trail of nr« a n d ashes through all the capitals of Europe and the queer and strange places of Asia and Africa. After nine m o n t h s they came l a c k , and Bolton brought with him the most marvelous collection «f souvenirs and presents t h a t any man not a professional collector ever brought into this country. The duties amounted to $^,000. "Arrived in Lansingburg, Billy hired the town hall, sent his packing boxes filled \vith these oriental and European treasures up to the hall and had them all taken out and put on exhibition as though,for a church fair. Upon each article he1 marked the name of some friend whom he wished to r e m e m b e r with a gi f-fc—^f here w ere b m i d reds—Hi this category, but Billy had presents for them all. "On the* day appointed for t h e pres entation he invited his army of friends to the town hall. To each he t u r n e d over tho present selected for hlni, and amid the cheers of his grateful and admiring fellow townsmen the hall <was stripped of its beautiful things. "When the* last present had been placed in the hands of, its recipient, Billy went back to his home and laj down to die. Within the yeap-his physicians' prophecy came* true, and the town gave him the finest funeral that any man ever had." A Great Error.

Polite Erie Commuters, A stranger who had an appointment to meet a friend in the Chambers street ferry house, which" is used by Erie commuters, was greatly puzzled the other afternoon by the actions of the men who passed the ticket taker's window. Nearly three-fourths of them took their hats off to the ticket taker in the most polite style. The stranger thought that possibly the ticket taker's wife was in the box with him, and he went back to look again. There was no one in the box save the ticket taker, who looked good naturod, but not imposing. When his friend arrived, the stranger said: "Is that the president of the Erie road in that box?" "Certainly not. Why do you ask such a question?" "Why, every man who passes him takes his hat off, gives him a marching salute and walks on."

The Minnesota senate has passed, with amendments, Senator Chilton's t i l l prohibiting the marriage of insane, epileptic and idiotic persons, and requiring a medical certificate of all applicants for marriage licenses. Miss Ella Swing, the Missouri giantess, who Is 8 feet 4 inches In height, recently built a house for herself.

Recent experiments in wireless telegraphy, in connection with the French fleet, have been so satisfactory that it has been decided to provide the whole Mediterranean squadron with wireless apparatus, whicn will be subjected to decisive tests during the coming cruise of the squadron. H MlOM I I I Happenings of the Week Briefly • Related. WILL INTEREST MICHIGANDERS Smallpox Is Still on the Increase la the State' According* to Secretary Baker's Monthly Bulletin—Three Deaths From the Disease Is the Record for March. Some remarkable relics of the early civilization in Egypt have recently been unearthed and deposited in the British Museum. Among them ia a beautiful impression of a royal seal which represents the king wrestling with a hippopotamus and spearing a crocodile. That must have been the king's busy day. That the art of cooking ranks high in the estimation of Briti3h army officials is showp by the recent grant of $2,500 to the widow of the late staff Sergt.- Maj. Thompson, in recognition of the valuable services rendered by her husband who was for many years the chief instructor of the army school of cooking at Aldershot. Trouble at Monroe. A representative of Brennan, Donnelly & VanDemark, attorneys for the Detroit & Toledo shore line railroad, went to Monroe last Saturday night, (April 20), and routed out the county officials, filing a bill of complaint against the city of Monroe, the common council, Mayor Martin, Street Commissioner Beck and the Toledo & Monroe Railway Co., to prohibit them from interfering with the crossing laid by the shore line on that date. A temporary injunction was secured and served by Sheriff Hause before midnight, and two deputy sheriffs placed on guard at the new crossing. Employes of the Toledo and Monroe railroad are claiming that the state railroad crossing board has granted a rehearing and consented to a grade crossing on Elm avenue and are making preparations to commence work. The shore line people claim to have advices from Commissioner Osborn that application for a rehearing was denied. If the crossing is attempted more trouble will follow. A mammoth black walnut tree on the farm of E. P. Gaus in Williams county, Ohio, has just been sold for $4,000. Several lumber dealers have examined chips from this tree, and all have declared it to be the finest specimen of that kind of wood they ever saw. The tree was eight feet in diameter, forty feet above the stump, and extended seventy-three feat from the butt to the first limb. Bavaria has resumed relations with Greece for the first time since the Athenians drove out the late King Otto. As one result Prof. Furtwangler, director of the , Munich Glyptothek, will go to Aegina next summer to excavate the site where the Aeginetan statues of the Munich museum were found, in the hope of discovering evidence that may decide what is the relative position of the groups to each other. Budget Now Stand* at 83,315,543.94. So far the ways and means committee of the house hns reported out favorably a total of 83,215,543.94 in appropriation bills. Of this amount Sl,- 203,500 has been for thft educational institutions of the state, and 8341,800 for the state reformatories, or 8101,435 more for educational iustitutions than was granted by the 1899 legislature, and §S,?00 less for reformatories than i was granted by that legislature. - The j educational appropriations of the presjent session as agreed to by the house [are: University of Michigan, $440,000: jState Normal"; 8221.300; Central Normal, 8118,000; Northern Normal, 885,- 200; Agricultural coliege, 8133,000: Colj lege of Mines, S1U3.000. The reformatory appropriations are: School for Girls, 8140,275: Industrial School for Boys. 8179.500: Ionia House of Correction, 810,025; state prison, 812,000. Andrew Carnegie's last speech to his workmen at Homestead contained a passage well worth remembering. "Labor, capital and business ability," he said, "are the three legs of a threDlegged stool. Neither1 is first, neither is second, neither is third. There is no precedence, all being equally necessary." All efforts to make the stonl stand oh one leg or on two have been failures, but when it rests upon all three it is hard to upset. Jackson Man's Terrible Crime. David H. Creech, of Jackson, capitalist and 71 years old, fired four bullets into the head of his young wife, Mary J. Creech, who had recently obtained a decree of divorce. Creech is in jail charged with assault with intent to murder, and Mrs. Creech lies in a precarious condition at her home in that city. The crime is the immediate result of a supreme court decision, handed down on the Kith, which affirmed the decision of the circuit court which granted Mrs. Creech an absolute divorce with alimony and the custody of the children. Mrs. Creech is a second wife. She was housekeeper in the Creech family during the lifetime of the first wife and upon the lat- ! ter's death, some 15 years ugo, contin^ ued in that capacity. In expectation of an heir, the King and Queen of Italy have had brought to Rome the tortoiseshell and gold cradle which was ussd for King Victor Emmanuel when a baby. Thore is a very curious "family cradle" in the possession of the Errolls. It has a carved wooden serpent at one end and a dove at the other; the idea being that the child who uses the cradle will possess the wisdom of the serpent and the harmlessness of the dove! Soo Will fiot <iliint Concern. F. II. Clergue, of Sault Ste. Marie, paid Detroit a visit on- the 19th, and his visit had an important bearing j upon great business interests of I)e- • troit and Michigan. Contracts were < made by him looking to the location j at the Soo of a $50,000,000 steel and iron manufacturing company, and a project was put well under way for the establishing at Detroit of blast furnaces with a capacity of 1,00() tons of pig iron per clay, and employing 1,000 men. For eight crops—corn, wheat, oats, barley, rye, buckwheat, potatoes and hay—covered by the reports to the department of agriculture, the farmers of the United States received almost 1200,000,000 more in 1900 than they obtained for the same products in 1899. Buckwheat and barley were the only crops in the list which showed a de- •crease in value, and the advances, in corn and hay especially, made this deficit seem slight. We quote the statistics mainly as a matter of record. The -contented smile un the American farmer's face is proof enough of itself that he is doing very well indeed. r \ The poet records that he shot an arrow into the air, but could not see where it fell to earth. Long afterward he found it in the heart of an oak. It is for protection against reckless use of firearms, possibly in the hands of other heedless poets, that the Adirondack guides have, recently appealed to the legislature. The modern smallbore rifle sends bullets far beyond the necessary hunting range, and frequently kills persons whom the gunner cannot see. A true aim, a steady arm, a square hit are in all the walks of life justly commended. But what about the so-called "spent" bullet, with it* lingering power to wound? Must not society a* well as law hold the sportsman responsible? Smallpox Still Increasing. The prediction of Secretary Baker, of the state health board, that smallpox would begin to abate about, the first of April has not been verified. From one to five outbreaks have been reported daily since the beginning of the month, and while the disease has been wiped out in numerous places it has continued to develop in others, and will probably continue to do so until the people recognize the disease as dangerous and take the proper steps to restrict i t TWTNOR-MteKrGAt<rMATTERS, Norway now has a bank. Carsonville has three saloons and all of the license holders are women. Additional rural free mail delivery has been ordered established at Ionia, May 15. The assessment rolls of Detroit for 1901-1902 calls for something over 8243,- 371,550. Mason's common council has raised the bonds of saloonkeepers from $5,000 to 80,000. The cornerstone of Menominee's new federal building was laid on the 17th, under Masonic auspices. Freezing weather and a heavy fall of snow was reported at many places in the state on the 18th. A large grain elevator at Battle Creek was destroyed by fire on the 17th, entailing a loss of 940,000. The building of the German-American sugar factory on the west side of the river at Bay City, which has been hanging fire for several weeks, is now assured. S t Johns citisens are raising 85,000 by popular subscription for the construction of a building for the Geriogton Department college, now located a t St. Louis, Mich. A frightful runaway accident occurred at Burlington village on the night of the 13th, as a result of which one woman was killed and several others seriously injured. Deputy Game Warden W. A. McGovem, of Tustin, captured 20 residents of Ioterlochen and vicinity while engaged in spearing bass. A wagonload of jacks and spears was confiscated, Grand Ledge is enjoying a boom. The owners of the Grand Ledge Chair Co. are building a large table factory which will be ready by July 1. It will give employment to a large number of workmen. Rev. A. K. Beem, of the First Universalist church, of Benton Harbor, announced on the 10th that on the 21st he will leave the pastorate of his church and will establish a church of his own, independent of any creed. Col. Russ, of Ypsilanti, who has been working on the consolidation of the flouring mills at Lapeer says t h a t the plan is now being successfully carried through. The new company, which will be capitalized at §25,000, will take over all three mills. " A t the recent special election the proposition to bond the city of Owosso for 850,000 for paving was defeated by a small majority. Owosso needs paving bad. Twenty-five interested citizens petitioned for another special election, and it will be held May 1. Chas. Van Zant. Norman Thomas Bisbing and Wm. Westbrook, the three Farmington desperadoes, have changed their plea of not guilty to guilty of the charge of assault with the intent to murder. Bail was fixed at $2,500, and they will be sentenced on the 15th. Eighteen opinions were filed by the supreme court on the 10th, but, contrary to expectations, no opinion was tiled in the Moreland (Detroit) case. It is understood that the court is not satisfied with the arguments already presented and has ordered a rehearing. Last fall about 8500 worth of money and jewelry belonging to Mrs. Martin Meredith of Saginaw, mysteriously disappeared. On the 15th boys playing in the yard of the old Meredith residence found the valuables in an old bustle they were using as a football. Mrs. Meredith now lives in Detroit. The supreme court has affirmed the decision of the lower court in the case of the creditors of the late Robert M. Steel, of St. Johns, against ex-State Treasurer Goerge A. Steel, who was a preferred creditor of his father's estate. The decision fully sustains the transactions of the ex-treasurer in the settlement of his father's affairs. M. A. Kniftin, a well-known citizen and business man of St. Johns, who owns a farm three miles east of that village, while sinking a well at the depth of 112 feet, found a five-foot vein of superior coal. This find is 12 feet below a table rock. It is believed it j will prove a very profitable find, not [ only for Mr. Knitlin, but for St. Johns as a community. The Fere Marquette Railroad Company has commenced work on a tine large two-story hotel which they will erect between the tracks south of the p.<issonger depot at Baldwin, The building will be 24xH0 feet and 23 feet higa to the roof. The structure will be a fine piece or* architecture when completed, modern, convenient and elegant in furnishing and finishing. The body of a partially-developed child was found floating down the river at Marine City on the Kith in a.cigar box. It was clothed in a small nighty and the limbs were doubled up to make it fit in the box. The marshal has been investigating the case, but up to the present has not been able to find any trace of whom the mother may be, or who placed it in the river. The J. S. Stearns' manufacturing plant, of Ludington, has announced to employes of the works, including several hundred men with homes and families located in different parts of the city, that prizes of from $5 to 810 each will be offered by the firm to employes keeping their homes in best repair and yards' in most attractive condition during the summer season.

Henderson, jailed there, is one of the fellows who stole Eddie Cudahy in December, and wrung 825,000 out of the parent. Santiago Iglesias, a representative of the Federation of Labor in Porto Rico, who came to this counti'y recently with a petition signed by 0,000 Porto Ricans, praying for relief from the distressing conditions alleged to exist on the island, presented the petition to the President on the 15th. * The following dispatch was received from Gen. MacArthur on the 17th: "Col. Abah, insurgent leader Marinduque, nine officers, 70 soldiers, 248 small arms, surrendered (Maj.) Frederick A. Smith, April 15, oathed with impressive ceremony, released.

There is a bill on general order of much interest to St. Clair Flats people. It is Rep. Dunn's house bill No. 298, file 293, and provides that the title of all the unpatented main land of the township of Clay on the north channel, known as fractional sections 2 and 3 of fractional township two, north range 15 east, and fractional sections 34 and 35 of township three, north of range 15 east, shall rest with the state. This will oust lots of squatters. Uov. Bliss has not yet signed the Grand Rapids snap legislation bill, and there is a suspicion that the chi^f executive fears that the passage of such measures may have a serious effect on his administration. In the matter of signing bills the governor is regarded as being in the hands of his friends, but the rush tactics forced upon him have put him in a hole two or three times. Gov. Bliss is spending his time these days in interviewing seuators and representatives and trying to impress them * with the necessity of holding down appropriations so that economical administration may result, but he is having poor success. The upper peninsula delegation is not running out of its way to do him any favors after the Newett affair, and they are bent on getting all they can in t h e way of appropriations. a NOW FOR MEDICATED EGOS. Cfohoaaded Possibilities That Are Op*atag Up to Thmtm»af. t There it scarcely any" branch ia which, medicine has not ofranccd within, the last t w e n t r years, but in no one branch has mote improvement bees shown than in, the compounding and putting together of drugs. *No> more is ths unwilling patient made t o iwallow large doses of nauseating medietas, fer-BUg&F coated pills, *eap*i and wafers have come into use and patients can now take the most vlletastlng medicines without any discomfort. Now comes along a,Frenchman with a still more ingenious plan which opens up to pharmacy unbounded possibilities of going still further ahead. On account of the difficulty of assimilating iron as a medicine, a French druggist has sought to introduce it in a digestible way by what h e terms ferruginous eggs. Hens can digest iron easily, while rendering it back through the albumen of their eggs In a form which is easily digested by the weaker stomachs of mankind. A salt of iron Is given t o the hens with grains of wheat. A dozen of these medicated grains of wheat a day makes the hens after three or four days lay eggs which are very rich in iron already digested. The Frenchman is experimenting further with other drugs, and it is not without tho bounds of possibility tthat we shall shortly ho able to take all our medicine ia tho form of eggs. HUSBAND AND WIPE. A Veteran of the Civil War TelU mm Interesting Story. EFFINGHAM, 111., April 22. (Special).— Uriah S. Andrick is now 67 years of age. Mr. 'Andrick served through the whole of the Civil War. He was wounded, three times by ball, and twice by bayonet. When he entered the service of his country in 1S61, he was ha"e and hearty, and weighed 198 pounds. Since the close of the War however, Mr. Andrick has had very bad health. For fifteen years, he never lay down in bed for over an hour at a time. Ha had acute Kidney Trouble, which grew into Bright's Disease. His heart a*so, troubled him very much. On Oct. 18th, 1900. he was weighed, and weighed only 102 pounds, being but a shadow of his former self. He commenced using Dodd's Kidney Pills on the 26th of last December, and en Feb. 20th was again weighed, and weighed 146 pounds. He says: "I have spent hundreds of dollars and received no benefit, until on the 2Gth of December last, I purchased one box of Dodd's Kidney Pills. I am cured, and I am free from any pain. My heart's action is completely restored. I have not the slightest trace of the Bright's Disease, and I catt sleep well all night. I was considered a hopeless case by everybody, but today I am a well man, thanks to D^du's Kidney Pills. "For the last sixteen years my wife has been in misery with bearing down pains, pain3 in the lower part" of. the abdomen and other serious ailments. When she saw what Dodd's Kidney Pills were doing for me she commenced to use them. She now fee'.s like another woman, her pains hnve all disappeared and her general health is better than it has been for years. , "She is so taken up with Dodd's Kidney Pills*and what they hav? d;;nn for us that she has gone to Mr. CovnwaP's Drug Store and bought th?m for some of her'friends for fear that if they went themselves they might mako a mistake and get something else." There is something very convincing in the honest simple story of this old veteran and his wife. Dodd's Kidney Pills are the only Remedy that eyer cured Bright's Disease, Diabetes or Dropsy. They never fail. "Lobster Faee" I* Not Slanderou*. The slander suit of Foster against Foster was heard yesterday afternoon before Justice William T. Connor, says the New London Telegraph. The suit is for $100 damages. In the complaint it is alleged that the defendant called the plaintiff a "lobster and a lobster face." The plaintiff was under the impression that lobster face was intended as a slur on her character, "and from the said words she suffered great anguish of mind and humiliation." A demurrer to the complaint was entered by the defendant that even if the allegation was true, there was no ground or basis for the claim that the expression "lobster face" carried with it any derogation of character. The demurrer was sustained by Justice Connor, and the case will probably end here. find an IrUh Wife. The death of Baron Satge de Thorent at the age of 97 has removed from'the roll of the Lesion of Honor its oldest member. After having served for many years in the French army he went to reside In Ireland and married an Irish wife, by whom he had a large family. One of his sons served in the British army, but the baron himself spent the latter part of his life upon a pictuesqtre estate In the eastern Pyrenees. He was a perfect type of the Frenchman of the old school. ' & • tt.w*+. -m**, •>. . ^ ^ ^ . . ^ , .

"You will And her the greatest coward of u s all," she observed. "But if you really want t o hear the horrible Bound, open the door." He dtd s o . Every one was silent: and through the hall came plainly enough t h e rocking of t h e cradle and the low sound of the mother's song. Mr. Crowley stood for a moment at the door; then he shut it, and came back td the fireside looking just a little pale. "I -wonder if it is a hoax," he observed, after a short pause. "That can hardly be. For we all , saw t h e room the first night we came, and there was no one there, though the cradle rocked all the time. Is it not horrible to have to live in the house-with it?" "Indeed it is;>and I question if it i? right for you to do so. You must make my uncle go as soon as you can." "I am sure that it is easier said than done," sighed Mrs. Cowley. "I know what I would do," observed Marjorie. "What, my love?" "Frighten him." "But the cradle has failed to do t h a t " "Then I would give him something worse than a cradle. If hearing things would not scare him, I should be inclined t o try what seeing things would do." Rose clasped her hands delightedly. "I have it, Cousin Charles. If you and Marjorie will help me, we can manage it easily." "How?" "You must be ghosts." "What nonsense you do talk, Rose!" said Catharine. "It i9 not nonsense. If you or f undertake to play the part, papa would see through it at once, because he would miss us. But he knows nothing of Charles' return, and he has never seen Marjorie. They would both make capital ghosts." "There is something: in it," observe! Mr. Cowley. "And if you will leave it t o us we will make my uncle very willing to go. But you must stow us out of sight before he comes." "The turret-chamber is ready, and a fire is lit there," said Mrs. Cowley. "But that is the room said to bo haunted." "Oh, never mind! But what knock is that?" "Good gracious! It is Mr, Cowley. Run, Rose! get your cousins up into the room before we let him in. Here take the cloak or he will be sure to see it. We will send you up some supper, Charles. Rose shall come; but for mercy's sake, be quick how!" With much suppressed merriment and laughter, the two ghosts were got out of the way, and were safe in the turret-room long before Mrs. Macarthy had let in her master, and was fuming over what he termed her "stupid Irish delay." CHAPTER X. Mrs. Cowley looked exceedingly guilty when her lord and master entered; but he, being full of his own business, did not observe it. He laid aside h i s wrappings, called for hot water and t h e spirit case, and a-at down by the fire with an air of a man who had earned his repose and meant thoroughly to enjoy it. "Have you been alarmed in any way since I went, Mrs. C ? " he asked when his toddy was thoroughly mixed. "No, my dear," she replied briskly; which was a gross fib, as we know-, because the unexpected arrival of her nephew and his wife had nearly sent her into a fit of hysterics. But that was only one of the white lies that are perfectly allowable, and even praiseworthy, when the head of the household is in question. If British matrons hesitated long over a "taradiddle," there would be little peace, I fear, in many a British home. "Not alarmed, eh!" said Mr. Cowley, sipping at his glass. "Well, I'm glad you are getting so brave. I have been to see the agent, and there is no reason why we should not rent the house for another year. Mr. Vernon will not want it, and the agent evidently looks upon it as one of the best speculations he ever made." "Another year! Mercy preserve us!" said Mrs. Cowley, holding up her hands in horror. "And why not, pray?" was the sharp reply. "If we go sooner we shall have done no good. People will think wo are frightened away, after all; whereas if w e stay for fifteen or sixteen months they cannot have the face to hint at such a thing." Mrs. Cowley groaned. "Besides, I have been talking with the agent about, the drains, and h e hai given me leave to have them set to rights. A capital dodge that, isn't it, my dear?" , Mrs. Cowley only sighed. "Don't you see? While the men a n at.work, I'll make them take up the floor of that pantry. Depend on it, there is nothing there but rats." "Can rats rock a cradle, Mr Cowley?" asked his better half/severely. "I dare say they could if they tried." "And sing?" "There are plenty of singing mice in the world; perhaps ours belongs to that breed, my dear. However, what I mean to say is this; That the ho,us<3 being pld, is in all probability swarming with the brutes; and that, in some of their antics in the pantry, they contrive to imitate the rocking of a cradle and t o make a sound which will pass muster as a human voice. So I'll have the floor up, and we'll put a stop to their fun at once." "It was a human voice!" said Mrs. Cowley, indignantly. "The idea of trying to explain it in that way! 1 never heard of anything so absurd in all my life! Did the agent offer you any refreshment, my dear?" Mr. Cowley wagged his head good humoredly. "I see what you are driving at; but I was never more sober in my life, Mrs. C. And we'll have the floor up tomorrow, and you shall see if, during the rest of the year, we hear anything more of the cradle." Mrs. Cowley held her peace. Experience had taught her that argument in a case like this would be of no use. But if in her heart she had harbored any little sweet scruple as to the propriety of the plan by which the young people intended to dislodge her lord and master from the strange home he had chosen, it vanished from that hour <ind she stood as deeply committed to the ghost scheme as any one amon? them all. "Where is Rose?" asked Mr. Cowley, looking up suddenly. Mrs. Cowley blushed up to the eyeu. "She—she is upstairs, I think. Do you want her?" "Yes; I have brought her a book. As she is so very fond of ghost stories I bought her the most horrible thing I could find in that way, It will serve to pass away her evenings very pleasantly this winter." At that moment Rose entered, looking peculiarly well satisfied with herself, and everything in general. "A book for me, papa? Now that i.s kind." Mr. Cowley grinned to himself over his toddy. "You'll be charmed with it. There is a picture on the first page, enough to turn any one's hair white." "I'll look at it directly," said Rose, laying it down upon the table. "But papa, how could you leave us so long alone this evening? That cradle has been rocking so dreadfully all the time!" "Rats, my dear. Nothing in the world but rats." "I wonder what you would do if you saw a ghost, papa—a real ghost!" "What I told you once before—I would pinch his nose with the tongs." "I should like to s e t you tried!" "Pah! It is all nonsense, my dear. Ghosts are an exploded theory. For my part, I have so little faith in them that I would not in the least mind staying here in the old house by myself all night long."* As he spoke the hall clock struck twelve, and Rose gave her mother a peculiar glance. "Oh, how dreadful! This is just tho time when ghosts go their rounds. Do let us all go to bed or we shall be sure to see one." "Yes, let us g o to bed at once," said Mrs. Cowley, rising from her chair. As a matter of course, their end was gained, for Mr. Cowley was seized with , a fit of obstinacy upon the spot. They knew well that nothing would induce him to stir from the spot till he had finished his gin and water and smoked his cigar. "Go to bed, all of you," he said benignantly. "I'm not afraid to stop here by myself, and I shall come up before you are fairly asleep." Mrs. Cowley and her two daughters left the room. T h e bright face of Rose w a s sparkling with mischief and laughter; and the instant the door shut behind her she caught her mother's hand and whispered joyously, "Mamma, you need be under no concern. He will not want to stop here long after tonight. You never s a w two such horrible objects as Charle3 and Marjorie have made of themsleves with my help and Mrs. Macarthy's. Come and see them before you go into hour own room t o wait for him. Mrs. Cowley and Catharine followed her Into the turret chamber. Though they had been warned to expect a ghastly sight, neither of them couM help*staring and well-nigh crying out when they saw t h e figures that stood in t h e center of t h e room. One was a nun dressed in the flowing blaok robes ot a Sister ot Mercy, with her hands bound tightly together, and clasped above her breast Her face was white a3 death—and from the right temple a deep crimson strain ran down toward the chin. The contrast between the pallor of her face and the bright blood stain were ghastly in the extreme. On her left hand stood a stalwart black man, clad in flowing robes of the purest white. Mrs. Cowley's best dressing gown ~~Bad~ ~been~ pressed into this service, and about hta swarthy brow was folded a turban, consisting of several yards of India muslin, on which she set great store. In his hands he held a rusted dagger, whieh Rose had hunted up in her exploring tours through the house. His height seemed almost terrific, a circumstance soon explained when she showed the false soles and heels he had managed to affix to his boots. His air stern and menacing; and, altogether the pair were by no means the most pleasant visitants that could be imagined to the gentleman sitting alone over his toddy in a haunted house. "Shall we do, aunt?" exclaimed Mr. Cowley, as she entered. "Do? You are perfectly dreadful! Who dressed you like that?" "Rose." "And where on earth could she have got such dreadful ideas from? You never saw a ghost, child?" "No, mamma; but I have read about them often enough; and papa says book knowledge is not of the slighest use to us, unless we can apply it to real life. I hope he_will be pleased with my application tonight." "Ycm are a saucy girl, Rose," said her mother, still eyeing the apparitions with some apprehension. "I wonder, now, what he will say to you? If it was me, I should go into a fit the moment you opened the door." "My uncle is made of sterner stuff. Still, I hope we shall give him a start. One don't want to take all this trouble in dressing for nothing," "Shall you go down to him, or let him meet you on the stairs?" asked Catbarine. "Oh, we will go down; we shall be seen to much more advantage In a room." "Besides, he has threatened to pinch your nose with the tongs, and he cannot do it if he is on the staircase when he sees you," added Rose. "That is a consideration," replied Mr. Cowley. "Now, will you ladies betake yourselves to bed? It is nearly half-past twelve—the very hour when two orthodox ghosts would be most likely to set out upon their travels. Good-night, aunt; we will send him up to you in a very short space of time." The ladie3 retreated. Mrs. Cowley, in order that she might not be suspected of any complicity in the plot, if by any means It should be discovered, undressed and retired to bed as usual. But Rose and Catharine sat down beside their chamber door and waited the result of their operations with great impatience. Meanwhile, Mr. Cowley, sitting over his cigar below, little dreamed how his nearest and dearest were conspiring ruthlessly against his peace or mind. The ghostly cradle was silent at last; his cigar was a fine one, and hi3 toddy^was grateful to the taste. Sitting here, monarch of all he fcurveyed, he thought over the events of his visit to the agent, and the promis-e which he had drawn from him about the drains. "A clever dodge that!" he mused approvingly to himself. "Nothing can be easier than to set the men at work among the pipes in the cellar, and to take them on till they are under the pantry, and be hanged to it! I'll stop that noise or my name isn't Cowley! People shall not have it to say that after laughing at every one else for the belief in ghosts, I went to get frightened at one myself! Ghosts, indeed! Suppose there actually is one about the premises; of tourse, the poor thing cannot rest in his grave till something he's got or omitted to do on earth, has been done for him. Very well! What could be easier than to say to the troubled spirt, 'Make yourself quite easy; I will attend to it at once! Don't stay out of your grave a moment longer, for fear that you should take cold, my dear sir?' Of course, any sensible ghost, being addressed in such a sensible manner, would Immediately return to his grave and stay there. That is what I call common sense kind of dealing with the citizens of another world. They would appreciate it—I am sure they would—Oh, Lord, what's that?" He might as well ask the question; for his flow of self-congratulation was suddenly checked by a low, hollow groan outside the door. He listened intently. The groan came again, but louder than before. "There is a noise!—I'm not dreaming!" he mused, while his hair stood on his head "like quills upon the fretful porcupine," "What on earth can it be? Mrs. Macarthy walking in her sleep, I suppose!" he said, with trembling lips, and a face white with the fear he was ashamed of, which h e could not control. The door swung open—a gigantic black man entered, leading by the hand a bleeding nun. \. x .. (To be continued.} C H I N A WAR NEWS. A dispatch from Pekin, dated t h e I8tb, says that Count von Waldersee escaped from the burning palace of the empress, w iich was destroyed b y fire on the 17th, through a window with great difficulty.

In the discussion of Chinese idemcities, which is going on at Pekin, and also at the various foreign capitals, i t has been developed that the French government is desirous of looking after not only those claims of a distinctly oational character, relating to France and French subjects, but also the extensive class of claims of Catholic institutions and missionaries. Chinese rebels have again attacked the Manchurian railway, and have destroyed 150 versts of the line, removed the rails and broken up the rolling stock. Moreover, they have killed nearly a whole detachment of railway guards. Troops have been sent from Amur province t o the scene of attack.

The permanent officials of the six boards are described as having quietly left Pekin for Sian-Fu in anticipation of the selection of a new capital. The Korean government, according to advices just received from Seoul, the capital of Korea, has decided to borrow from France 5,000,000 yen, for the purpose of constructing the northern railway from Seoul to Wiku.

Two members of the governmental committee appointed a year ago to determine the value of various explosives have taken out patents in their own names. After all that has been said about ex-Presideut Kruger's visit to the U. S. it is now thought he will not come here at all. His poor health is attributed the cause for his change of mind.

She trembled with all the technical accuracy of an aspen leaf and t h e emotional intensity of a startled fawn. H e r trembling indeed w a s irreproachable. If s h e cast down her eyes with something of amateurish gawkiness, t h e fact is easily attributable to h e r inexperience, this being her first wedding, rather than t o a n essentially defective method. She w a s fairly well supported.

Captain Pitch, " I was appointed, chief Quartermaster of t h e signal corps of t h e department of the Cumberland, stationed a t Chattanooga. On taking account of the quartermaster's stores I found that I w a s in need \ of some light wagons to be used in the j mountainous country, and t h e only way to get them w a s to go to Nash-' ville and have them made, so 1 went to Nashville and had live light w a g o n s : made by the q u a r t e r m a s t e r ' s depart-, meut. When I got back to Chattanooga with tiie wagons, 1 p u t a citizen teamster in charge of the wagons and I mules. • "The ti-amsier, lunng a green hand,! did not know that mules would eat j anything within their reach and inno-1 cently tied them to the wheels of the , wagons. Not long after that 1 got an order to be ready to march, and on going out to inspect my outfit 1 found; that t h e mules had eaten the spokes of I the wheels nearly off, so that the wag-1 ons were ready to fall down of their j own accord. As 1 could not use them [ I had no recourse but to drop them ' from my returns, and. hoing obliged tc ; assign a reason for so dropping them, 1 j gave the true one—viz. 'Eaten by j mules.' [ "Shortly afterward I got a totter: from the q u a r t e r m a s t e r general sarcas-; tienlly inquiring if Lieutenant Fitch had observed whether t h e - m u l e s tiad ' eaten t h e tires or not. I replied t h a t I presumed they had, as they seemed to jbo thoroughly tired the next day. The , quartermaster general wrote back,! 'Any further trifling with this depart-: ment on the part of Lieutenant Fitch: will probably result in his being retired to private life.' Thereupon I dropped, the subject, but my first report w a s ; correct." "At Chickamauga," said t h e major,: "Longstreet's men r a n over o u r head- j quarters teams.

They started without more ado. swept along the road after our broken regiments and. turning a t [ just t h e right point, came into o u r new j lines and stopped where the headquarters flag had been stuck in the ground. The driver reported later and drove into Chattanooga. "One of these mules the .night before had pulled the blanket off o u r division; commander, had run over t h e lines of soldiers sleeping in close battle order, j had raided t h e Confederate pickets and j had returned to o u r bivouac under a ; furious lire.

Then t h e boys w h o had wit- i nessed the charge and the escape of the j driverless team counted the mule's dev-1 iltry a s nothing." .

(Special Letter.) The name of Lady Ulrica Duncombe J baa appeared much in print of late. Lady Ulrica ia one of the falreat wom- &a in the United Kingdom and comes of a family, proud as Lucifer, whose women have been noted for their beauty. • Her three sisters were social queens and all married well. One was the Duchess of Lelnster, wife of the celebrated Irish peer, who was so devoted to her husband that when he died she shortly followed him to the grave with a broken heart. Another Is Lady Helen Vincent and the third ^ ta the wife,of Sir Richard Graham of Netherby. Beauty was an inheritance of these girls. Their ancestors were handsome, and one, their great-grandmother. Lady Charlotte Duncombe, was one of the celebrated beauties of her day, whoso fine features have been preserved in paintings. She was a woman of exquisite personal charms and great culture. Her husband, after representing Yorkshire in Parliament, was created Earl of Fevershau. The family has great wealth as well as beauty, and naturally is saturated with orido. All the sisters of Lady Ulrica married young, but she seemed hard to Buit. First-class suitors were -many, but Lady Ulrica resisted them all. She spent much of hef time with the Princess of Wales. Some years ago a fad for missionary work among London's poor broke out in society. At that time Rev. Dr. Arthur Wlnnington-Ingrara, who has recently been created - '^bishop of London, was preaching in the slums and seeling to improve the condition of the poor. Society women became interested in him. Among those who went to his assistance was Lady Ulrica. She threw herself heart and soul into the work and went with Ingram to visit the desolate and oppressed. With this union of sympathy for the lowly came a union of their affections. They became engaged. The girl who had resisted men of blood yielded to the missionary worker of the slums. Her proud father flew into a rage when he heard of the match. An earl's daughter marry this churchman who demeaned himself in the eyes of the aristocracy by mingling with the poor? Absurd. Her sisters pleaded with Ulrica. The Princess of Wales, who knew the high character of Dr. Ingram, spoke in his favor, but all in vain. The Duncombes would not give their consent to a marriage and the match was off. Then ^Ulrica gave up LADY CHARLOTTE DUNCOMBE. her charitabe work and plunged into society. Suitors of blue blood again sought her. Various rumors of en- ^gagementa have been spread about, but the fair Ulrica has not yet ordered her trousseau. Meanwhile Dr. Ingram kept up his work in the slums, gradually gained favor among the blue bloods and was a favorite of the Prince of Wales. Now that, as King of England, he has made him his spiritual adviser, the lowly churchman has become a great figure in social circles. His old love story is revived. The questions are being asked, 'Will the bishop propose again to Ulrica? Will she accept him?" In aU probability, it Is said, he will pro* pose and she will accept. The O'teen was said to have favored the match, because she knew that while the courtship of Dr. Ingram was ended abruptly, their love endures. The old earl can no longer be obstinate and the story will probably end as fond lova LV stories should. The old earl will be * on hand to say, "Bless you, my chlfc dren." The man who has the most "help around the house," is the most aristocratic. L E O I S L A T VB GOSSIP. Gov. Bliss on the dftth braved the ire of the Wayne delegation by vetoing liep. Martlndale's bill increasing the compensation of election inspectors, clerks and gate keepers in Sprlngwells. The compensation of these officials is fixed by a general law, except where there is a special charter provision, so Martindale had the salaries for Spring- TFBIIK rained to the schedule paid in SPRING CATARRH MAKES PEOPLE WEAK AND NERVOUS Detroit In his message the governor stated that this was carrying local legislation too far, and expresse i the opinion that as a general proposition local measures should have no standing where general laws can apply. He Intimated that the passage of this act would be in the nature of a precedent for other townships to try the same thing, and pointed out that if there was any necessity for increasing the salaries of election officials it would be better to have the matter looked into and the general law amended. The governor also vetoed the bill amending the act relative to steam engines or vehicles which are operated upon the highvyays. When first introduced the measure provided that such vehicles should carry red rights and planks, and come to a full stop when passing any team. It included steam automobiles, and even as passed these luxuries were not specifically exempted, which is the real reason for the chief executive making use of his veto power. The house pnssed the following bills on the 26th: Changing time for electing members of the school board in Bay City from July to August; disor; ganizing fractional school district in the township of St Charles and attaching same to Chesaning, Saginaw county; repealing sections 5 and 6 of the act creating the 37th judicial circuit relative to the election of circuit judge, the time fixed in the act connecting with the general law; creating voting district in the township of Rockland, Ontonagon county; appropriation for Eastern Michigan, $6,000, to improve the water supply; appropriation for Michigan Pioneer and His* torical society, $4,000; to prevent impurities being mixed with black pepper. Speaker Carton has given up figuring on the date of final adjournment and now says that it will not be fixed until something is heard from the conference committee on the taxation bill. The latter meets on the 30th and will have all the week to agree or agree to disagree. Thousands of Fair Womu i t * Never Without Perwia, I k —tlathmat Catarrh BBIBB^ — Gen. Maximo Gomez is making arrangements to visit the U. S. during the coming summer. As a resul' ot a gasoline explosion in the Commercial hotel at St. Mary's, W. Va., on the 22d four persons are dead and the building entirely destroyed. The jury in the case of Capt Ganrett Ripley, chared with being in a conspiracy with others in the assassination of William Goebei, on the 20th rendered averdict of not guilty after being out only a snort time. Dr. H. L. Nietert, superintendent of the city hospital at St Louis, has just performed one of the most remarkable operations ever recorded in the annals of surgery. It consisted of taking three stitches in the heart of Philip Gun, who had been stabbed in a saloon brawl. BASE BALL. MISS ANNA BRYAN OF WASHINGTON, D. C aoxK>/x>jo:o:o:o;o:aoM^ Miss Anna Bryan, a favorite cousin of William Jennings Bryan, is well known socially in Washington, D. C, where she has a host of friends. Miss Bryan recently studied music at Fair mount Seminary, of Washington, D. C. In a recent letter to The Peruna Medicine Co., of Columbus, Ohio, she says: 1459 Florida Avenue, N. W„ Washington, D, C.

Should such a disease ever attack me again I shall immediately take Peruna. I now feel very well and have a good appetite all the time. I have gained in weight. I recommended Peruna to an acquaintance of ours and he is making remarkable progress. I looked so badly for a time before I began your medicine, that now when I meet some of my friends they say: 'I was very much worried about you, but now you are looking so well.' I shall always keep Peruna and Manalin in the house as family medicines." —Mrs. Bertha Kockler.

Wetzel, 21 Sooth 17th street, Terre Hante, Ind., writes: "Peruna is the greatest medicine on earth. I feel well and that tired feeling is all gone. When I began to take your medicine I tould not smell nor hear a church bell ring. Now I ean smell and hear. When I began your treatment my head was terrible, all sorts of buzzing, chirping and loud noises. Three months ago I dragged around like a snail; now I can walk a> briskly as ever. I am going to go ana see the doctor that said I was not long for this world, and tell him that Peruna cured me."—Mrs. Al. Wetzel. If all the tired women and all tJhe nervous women, and all the womqn that needed a tonic would read ana heed the words of these three fair ladles who have spoken right to file point, how many invalids would prevented and how many wretch lives be made happy. Peruna restores health ia way. \ Peruna puts right all the mucous membranes of the body, and in thia. way restores the functions of every organ. If It is the stomach that is oat of order, and the digestion impaired, Peruna quickly makes things right by restoring the mucous membrane of the stomach. If the nerves tingle, if the brain i s tired, if the strength is flagging and the circulation ot blood weakened by flabby mucous membranes of the digestive organs, Peruna reaches the spot at once by giving to these membranes the vitality and activity which belongs to them. The pelvic organs are also UneA with mucous membrane which In the female sex is especially liable to derangements. Peruna is an absolute* specific in these cases. The women everywhere are praising i t No otter remedy has ever received such unqualified praise from such a multitude of women. If you do not derive prompt and satisfactory results from the use Of Peruna, write at once to Dr. Hartm giving a full statement of your and he will be pleased to give yon valuable advice gratis.

' L M k l v f t W i t h o u t S e e t n c .Perhaps you a r e au exception to t h e rule, b u t If you a r e not you.have probably on many occasions, just a l t e r lookfag at your watch, been forced to acknowledge to a friend who asked you t h e i r m e t h a t ym\ did net km>w what U was. Yet you undoubtedly took your timepiece out of your pocket, looked at its face a n d carefully replaced It In your pocket, showing a logical sequence of thought a n d a. well .detined object, which did not. however, result" in leaving a sufficiently distinct Impression on your mind to satisfy your friend's curiosity as to t h e hour of the day. T h e motion was not a n Involuntary oue, like that of the boy who cannot too often admire hi*first chronometer, n o r yet habitual, for few persons are merely In t h e habit of taking out their watches. One does so only for a specific purpose. Now, how may this seeming contradiction be accounted for? Perhaps the reason is that not once in ten times does a m a n look at his watch to see what t h e actual time Is, but rather to learn whether he still has time to accomplish some purpose. l i e may want to keep an appointment a t a certain time or to be sure not to miss a boat or train. When he takes out his watch, therefore, he instinctively looks for the h a n d s in t h e position called for by that particular moment, a n d when he sees t h a t they have not yet reached that point h e returns t h e watch to Its resting place, withidiis mind relieved. The actual position of the hands really plays no p a r t at all in the operation, a n d so when t h e time is asked of him h e Is unable to reply. In other words, he accomplishes the paradoxical feat of Intently looking at a thing without really seeing it. S l o p t l i e Coug-li m i t t \ v o ; K > «>fr t h e < «»U1.

Continued obsen-ntion with t h e telescope of t h e Yerkes ohservatory revealed t h e unpleasant existence of a number of cui'ious streaks of light running horizontally. \vhns;> appearance had certainly never been noticed before jiiitf—gave rise . to redoubled uneasiness.

Then he continued his journey, and in another moment had discovered t h e unsuspected author of the mischief, an ovevindustrious spider and her equally hardworking progeny, who had succeeded in Idling up t h e entire end of t h e tube with a mass of cobwebs in t h e hope of catching w h a t must have been wholly imaginary Hies, The webs au.l their spiders were carefully removed, and .from 'that day to this i h e i;oh.-ivior of t h e Yerkes 40 inch glass has been all that heart could desii'e.—- thiod Words. i i \ t l .

T h e r e is one hind of business, according t o a New i o r k man prominent in it, t h a t does not enjoy easy financial conditions. It is that of publishing devotional a n d religious literature. This publisher explained this anomalous condition a s follows: " W h e n everybody is prosperous, there is no very great demand for our publications. People a r e happy, and they do not go to church to a n y great extent. Preachers will tell you that Church attendanc e is never so good In prosperous times as it is in periods of hnancial str.iits. "Let u p^.nie come on, however. At first our business feels it a s keenly a s any other line. People suddenly cease buying , every thing except w h a t they are obliged to have. As times fail to Improve, people take m o r e . t o going to church.' Attendance increases very perceptibly. In a few weeks we can tell it in. o\ur business. There Is a grea.tly increased demand for devotional books of all kinds. T h e busi ness increases.'and at t h e very height of t h e linaneial troubles w e do t h e largest business. As times get better you can sec our trade in this line of publications gradually drop off until, when prosperity again comes round, wo settle down to a normal business 'inite different from t h e boom we had been enjoying."—New York Times n e w u r e of n C'ttld.

Hillsdale, III., April 29th.—Much interest has been aroused hero o v e r th* case of William Marks, w h o h a s been in a dying condition for several months with an apparently incurably Kidney Disease. The leading physicians of this plac? had pronounced his case a . hopeless one, and others from Port Byron, Geneseo, and Davenport, la., had attended him, and in a consultation decided that ho could not live. In desperation, his nephew inquired of Mr L, F. Giles, a local druggist, as to a last resort. Mr. Giles suggested 'Dodd's Kidney Pills, a remedy which had just been introduced here. The results were marvelous. Mr. Marks immediately began to improve, t h e railroad e o m m i t t e a , only t w o or three miner a m e n d m e n t s being t a c k e d on. In its essential feature it is a railroad measure, a s the entire fight was made on the proposition of w h e t h e r the railroads should be assessed by the s t a t e tax commissioners, w h o assess all other property in the state, or w h e t h e r a separate board s h o u l d be provided, as t h e bill called for. Senator Nichols made a g a l l a n t fight to have all property in the s t a t e assessed by one board and the a r g u m e n t s he put forth were left u n a n s w e r e d by t h e majority. But i t w a s a case of the railroads h a v i n g t h e votes and t h e y won easily at the end. The f o l l o w i n g bills were passed by the senate on the -25th: To d e t a c h Calhoun c o u n t y from the 5th judicial circuit and make it the :>7th circuit; to amend the justice court act for Detroit: to p r o h i b i t fishing in Mill lake, Bloomingdale t o w n s h i p , Van liuren county; .fish appropriation. 977,000; for a separate v o t i n g precinct in Rockland t o w n s h i p , Onton-igon county; relative to the i n v e s t m e n t of t h e capital of insurance companies; for uniform syst e m s of a c c o u n t i n g by c o u n t y and city officers; to amend the general election law to provide separate ballots for eonbe up and about, completely cured. His cure Is the talk of the neighborhood, and is considered n o t h i n g abort of a miracle. There appears to be no doubt that this new remedy, Dodd's Kidney Pills, will cure any case of Kidney Disease, for the more malignant forms, such a s Bright's Disease, Diabetes, and Dropsy, yield readily to Its remarkable influence. These forms of Chronic K d - ney Disease have hitherto been considered Incurable, and have baffled all medical skill, and yet, this n e w remedy has cured every single case In which it has been used, in this neighborhood. T h e doctors t h e m s e l v e s are amazed at t h e wonderful work Dodd's Kidney Pills are accomplishing In Rock Island County.

With his heart beating almost to suffocation, he watched their movements. He longed to speak, but the words d!ed upon his lips, and his throat felt parched and hot. S!ow!y they advanced towards his chair—the nun's sad eyes fixed silently on his facR—the outstretched hand of the black man pointing towards his h e a r t He bore it manfully for a moment; but nearer, still nearer, they came— the hand almost touched his shoulder: It was too much for poor flesh and blood to bear. He pave a sort of stifled cry—threw himself back In his chair—evaded i\w shadowy grasp, and dashed headlong from the room. Up the dark stairs he flew, and finding his own door, rather by instinct than by sight, he blundered In, upsetting two chairs, and startling Mrs. Cowley from what was apparently her first and sweetest nap. "What Is the matter, my dear?" she said, sitting up In bed and rubbing her eyes. "Have you hurt yaurself?" "Oh, don't talk to me!" groaned Mr. Cowley. "Not one ghost have I seen, but two; and we'll get out of this infernal place tomorrow!" Rose and Catharine hearing this in their own bedroom, had a hearty lainli and then went after the two ghosU. who were putting out the candle-s down below, and making themselves in many ways extremely useful. Before the clock struck oie, all V.\e. house was still—each inmate wrapped iu a sound and peaceful sleep, including Mr. Cowley, who had recovered a little from his fri?ht, and was troubled by no black man or murdered nun In his dreams. CHAPTER XI. From that fatal evening a new l'fe began for Mr. Cowley. He was no longer "monarch of all he surveyed," for in every darkened room, in every obscure corner of the haunted house, lurked something unseen and unheirl by others, but full of mysterious life and motion for him. If a mouse squeaked behind the w~iiscot, it wouli send him scurrying along the passage at the rate of ten miles an hour; if a door shut suddenly it made h'm tremble and turn pale; if a light shons in a window, if a board creaked unexpectedly beneath his feet, he was apt to start, and exclaim, "Lord, bless me!" in a tone that did Mrs. Cowlev's very heart good, in one word, the worthy banker, from a snug goodtempered denizen of Mecklenburgh Square, had become transformed into that stranirest of animals, a haunted man! His sleep was no longer peaceful, for he W M pernetually d-ead'n? a ghostly visit; while Mrs Cowl ^y sno~pd placid!* and nrovokin^ly at his sirte. His coffee lost its relish; lfs tea its flavor, and his nithtly glass of Holland and water was taken more to screw hij conratre up to t^e sticking poi"t r n b ^ r than for an actual pleasure it e v e to him In thn peculiar and unwonted state of his mind. H e was horribly fri^hte^d. He i company. He did hated that house "with shivering ha- \ sclitude, however tred; he told himself that if he saw another actual apparition there something dreadful w^uid happen t^ him; ho would have a fit—an apoplectic one, very possibly—or perhaps a s f o k s of palsy, which would leave him with his face awry! Tt was a horrible thought; but he kent it rmnfully to himself. He would have suffered those plow tortures of agon'zed fear a hundred times over r?ther than own to the wife of his bcfnra t>^t he had errrd in selectin* st:eh a pine* for his residence. He mi»M hnvo said as much to some ercntlernan Mend, if o^e had ehnnced t ) como in h'a way; but his w'fp—nevpr! That was a conco<\*ion too great by f \v for the worthy E^UsVmnn to make. No. the husband, like the king, could do vr> w o « u . and hp was det°rmin»d to lt«*^M th*»t r'fWf'no t^ the last gasp In his own famTy circle! Do you think that sime Circle, meanwhile, was unaware of the 3trugg't— unconscious of his fear? Not a bit of it! Mrs. Cowley, as she awoke each morning from a refreshing s'esp and saw him lying pale and uneasy upon his pillow, sml'ed grimly to herself and wondered how long he would take to como to his senses again. His daughter*, too. were rejoicing in the pangs their own mischievous arts had caused, even when they asked after "poor papa's headache" In such mellifluous tones each morning at the an undertaker'3. The whole house was in league against him, and the poor wretch knew it not. Yet he stood it out manfuUy; and there seemed some danger that between his uneasiness and his obstinacy he would grow seriously ill. Besides, Christmas was fast approaching and the girls wanted to dance the New Year in and the Old Year out, at their own house in Mecklenburgh Square. What was to be done with the banker' to make him strike his coljrs, desert his ship and own himself soundly beaten? It was Rose who formed a fresh plan, which she thought might be success ful. She proposed it that evening when the conspirators met, as usual in the turret chamber, to harsh new plots against the peace cf the mmter of the house. But at first, Mrs. Cowley had somewhat to say. *• "I'm afraid we shall have to give it up as a bad job," she remarked, shaking her head doleful iy. "Why, mamma?" asked Catharine. "Your father will never own he is afraid, my dear; and I can see that we are killing him by inches. He is getting so thin; and, really he does not eat enough to keep a sparrow alive. If we should worry him into a fever or a consumption, I should never forgive myself." ^ "No fear of that, aunt, while his obstinacy lasts," replied her nephew, cheerfully. "But I wish to goodnesi he would get frightened and give us a chance of seeing a little more of this round world than we can expect to see while we are cooped up here. For my part, I feel as if I was a kind of iron mask. You ought to make me a handsome present for undergoing th s imprisonment, aunt." "So I will, my c.^ar, if it ever comes to an end." "There's the worst of it." "I wonder if he suspects," said Marjorie. "My love, how should he?" "True! If he was a woman, now, I should feel sure that he had discovered our secret. Being a man, I suppose there is not much fear." "Well," said Rose, complacently, "I think I can set you all free." "How?" "By inventing a new ghost, which I shall patent." They all laughed. "You see he cares little for the cradle now. In fact, I think we are a1! getting used to it. But if you wi.l only do as I tell you—we wi.l bring this old room into use—and take the letter and the lock of hair we found here, and scare him so he will be ready and willing to go out of the house the very next day.' Rose then entered into all the details of her plan, which .was pronounced an excellent one by every body present. In obedience to her instructions, Catharine had a toothache and Mrs. Cowley a headache the next evening, which forbade them slttin; up later than nine o'clock. Mrs. Macarthy and Rose also retired at that ear.y hour, to wait upon the Inval ds. and Mr. Cowley was left alone in his glory, without even a cat to bear him not object to the He mixed himself some more grog, smoked one or two cheroots, and finally took up a book to keep himself awake. It was a volume i of American tales, and this was the story which, by ill-hick, he happened to select: "While I lay one night in the first distempered visions of my illness, I heard those who watched beside me telling an eld tale of a family long since extinct in our settlement' "An old and wealthy man bad won a fair young girl for "his bride, and broueht her from her native England to this distant country that he mlftht separate her forever from an early love—a cousin to whom her hand had once been pledged and—so said the gossips—her heart always given. "Gold is no Ie.?s powerful in the -mother country than this; and for its sake the father of the lovely Ginerva took back his pledged word, and gave his daughter to a stern and moody man, who little knew how to value the prize he had gained. "So fcr America he sailed and built a stately home for his pale bride, on the very place where our quiet little village now stands. Nothing was spared that taste could dictate or lavish wealth supply. But luxury was not what the Lady Ginerva desired while love was offered to her. Swiftly as they sailed across the bright blue sea, one followed close upon their CHAPTER XII. "Beautiful sue w<»s, but frail.

For three, long years they watched h.m— in the fourth he needed not their care, but was at rest Of the lo^t lady, no tidings were ever received, and as years went by, and the old ha.l began to decay, some enterprising settlers tore it down, and from its ruins, Phoanix- like, sprang up our pretty vJ.age of brighter days. "This, or something akin to It, was the tale I heard, and in all my feverish visions after that night, the English Lady bore a conspicuous part. They tell me that I called for her incessantly; that 1 fanc.ed myself, now the successful lover, now the forsaken huaband; and could only be pacified by the assurance of her speedy return. "Be this as it may, I can remember well how often I saw her standing by my bed, an airy, impalpable shape, of which I could net possibly discover a single feature; but all seemed a gl ttering array of misty Iovelmes3. And when, in a voice that I could understand (though on the diuler ears of my attendants it fell like the whispers of the evening wind) she bade me seek her at the Hall, how could I disobey? I only watched my opportunity and counterfeiting sleep one hot summer afternoon saw them all leave the rooms with noiseless steps, and I knew that I was free. "The glass door at the lower end of my apartment led into the garden. From that, the lonely road led over the hill, and to the site of the Hall was easi.y gained. I diew my dressinggown around me, thrust my feet into a pair of embroidered slippers and passed o u t "Oh, the glad thrill that shot throu ,h my veins at the first free breath of the summer air! Oh, the delight with which my parched lips quaffed the clear water in the fountain by the arbor! I spilled it over me in my fever 1 h haste! I threw it over my hot face, and over my closely shorn head!.Then unfastening the Lttle wooden gate I ran swiftly, longing, but not daring, to shout aloud in my joy, till the hill road was gained. "I climbed the hills and descended the valleys—I waded through the morass, not without a sickening fear when I saw the brown and black water snakes glide lovingly in pairs around me. "At length I stood upon the brow of the last hill and saw what I had not before discovered—that, a precipice lay at my feet, jagged and rough enough, it is true, to admit of a careful descent, but still a fearful thing to look at and attempt. Other way, however, there was none; and holding my breath and uttering an inward prayer to God. I began, to descend. Slowly ten feet of the bottom. I looked back at the height I had descended, and with a gay laugh grasped at a bough which grew near, and swung myself from the rock on which I stood. "But I was prematurely excited. The shrub to which I had entrustsd my lif? and safety, though seemingly strong, was in reality decayed, and but sightly rooted. I felt it grinding up from the ground, and knew that in another moment I should fall below. I clutched frantically with my free hand. I shrieked aloud in my frenzy and despair wiien I found I could not hold my precarious footing. I looked beneath me at the rocky bed of the brook and thought hew soon I should lie upon it. stunned and motionless; it might be dead! The shrub broke in my hand—I was gone! "But at that moment of my fall. terror gave me strength, and with a treaaendous muscular effort I th^ew my body out from the bank in a frantic leap for life. ^ "My presence cf mind probablv s^ved me; for in the place of falling directly below and upon the rocks, the impetus of my leap sent me far out into the stream, where a bed of soft sand received me. and the cool water, too shallow to engulf, rippled around mo in separate streams.

Y., a certain young man who la fond of having his name appear whertver it will be seen, carefully c a r t t d his initials, which happened to be "A. f." Some mean person wrote directly tinder it, "Two-thirds of the truth." All manner of extravagant expressions are possible when a woman's nerves are overwrought. The spasm at the top of the wind pipe or bronchial tubes, "ball rising in the throat," violent beating of the heart, laughing and crying by turns, muscular spasms (throwing the arms about), frightened by the most insignificant occurrences— are all symptoms of a hysterical condition and serious derangement of the female organs. Any female complaint may produce hysterics, which must be regarded as a symptom only. The causei however, yields quickly to Lydia E . Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, which acts at once upon the organ af&'cted and the nerve centers, dispelling effectually all those distressing symptoms.
