Some say is the spirit of gambling ever and n becoming epidemic. Something of that. Some say it is the sudden nkage in the value of securities, imethlng back of that. I will give you ke primal cause of_all these dlsturb- :es. It is the extravagance of modsrn ieiy which impels a man to spend re money than hn can honestly and he goes into wild speculala order to get the means for Intnaie display, and sometimes the in is to blame and sometime his wife oftener both. Five thousand dol- Income, $10,000, $20,000 income, is cnouga for a man to keep up the of living he proposes, and therebe steers his bark toward the elstrom. Other men have suddenly Itched up $50,000 or $100,000. Why he? The present income of the man f; being large enough, he must move th and hell to catch up with his ghbors, Others have a country*seat; must he. Others have an extravafftat caterer; so must he. Others have .«#palatial residence; so must he. Iftxtravagance is the cause of all the > defalcations of the last GO years, and, if feu will go through the history of all ' n e great panics and the great financial • ffiStutbancas, no sooner have you dtamd the story than right back of it . jfal will find the story of how many Worses the man had, how many carvdteges the man had, how many resiliences in the country the man had, ' (torn many banquets the man gave—al- ^ays, and not one exception for the )mst 60 years, either directly or indlu^ ctiy extravagance the cause. V>t« ReflnetuentH of H f e . $fc>w "or the elegances and the refinements and the decorations of life f e a s t my vote. While I am consider- {tpg this subject a basket of flowers is led in—flowers paradisiacal in ir beauty. White calla With a green jround of begonia. A cluster of <Ae1k>tropes nestling in some geranium. Sepal and perianth bearing on them tfio marks of God's finger. When I see that basket of flowers, they persuade mft that God loves beauty and adorn- - stent and decoration. God might have onade the earth so as to supply the .'gross demands of sense, but left it without adornment or attraction. In- 4#Ead of tne variegated colors of the -^asons the earth might have worn an tuichanglng dull brown. The tree n i g h t have put forth its fruit without >iif prophecy of leaf or blossom. Niagara might have come down in gradual descent without thunder and winged Look out of your window any morntri* after there has been a dew and see ^Aether God loves Jewels. Put a crystal tfF&ncw under a microscope and see w^at God thinks of architecture. God • ooaaflnanded the priest of olden time to fcave his robe adorned with a wreath ot gold and the hem of his garment to l>e embroidered in pomegranates. The '•C&Tth sleeps, and God blankets it with t i e brilliants of the night sky. The 'World wakes, and God washes it from *&« burnished laver of the sunrise. So t nave not much patience with a man W-bo talks as though decoration and .adornment and the elegances cf life are m sin when they are divinely rcoom- • mended. But there is a line to bo <4rawn between adornment and decorartgona that we can afford and those we 'dan&ot afford, and when a man crosses tbp line ho becomes culpable. I cannot Sft you what la extravagant for you fro* cannot tell . mc what is 4adravA£&nt tor n:?. What Is his means he is extravagant. Venttn? Oae'i ODUg»tlonik Of course sometimes men are flung of misfortunes and they cannot pay. I know men who are just as honest in having failed as other men are honest in succeeding. I suppoee there is hardly a man who has gone through life but there have been some times when he has been so hurt of misfortune he could not meet his obligations, but all that I put aside. There are a multitude o|j?eople who buy that which they never intend to pay for, for wnich there is no reasonable expectation they will ever be able to pay. Now, if you have become oblivious of honesty and mean to defraud, why not save the merchant as much as you can? Why not go some day to his store and when nobody is looking just shoulder a ham or the sparelb and in modest silence steal away? That would be less criminal, because in the other way you take not only the man's goods, but you ta^e the time of the merchant and the time of his accountant, and you take the time of the messenger who brought you the goods. Now, if you must steal, steaV in -a-way-^to-do as little damage to the trader as possible. John Randolph arose in the American senate when a question of national finance was being discussed, and, stretching himself to his full height, <n a shriil voice he cried out, "Mr. Chairman, I have discovered the philosopher's stone, which turns everything into gold—pay as you go!" Society has got to be reconstructed on this subject or the seasons of defalcation will continue to repeat themselves. ch eren the most honest and Intel- You have no right to ride In a carriage men could not-have ;7for«*e«n.4-for__w^ichj£^^ hopelessly in debt to the wheelwright who ^ufnisfled thelandau,__ and to the horse dealer who provided the blooded span, and to the harness maker who caprisoned the gay steeds, and to the liveryman who has provided the stabling, and to the driver, who, with rosetted hat, sits on the coach box. Oh, I am so glad it is not the abso- .lute_necessitles of life which send people out into dishonesties anoTTitHg"" them into misfortunes. It is almost always the superfluities. God has promised us a house, but not a palace; raiment, but not chinchilla; food, but not canvasback duck. I am yet to see o^e of these great defalcations which is not connected in some way with extravagance. Extravagance accounts for the disturbance of national finances. Aggregations are made up of units, and when one-half of the people of this country owe the other half how-can we expect financial prosperity? Again and again at tiie national election we have had a spasm of virtue, and we said, "Out with one administration and in with another and let us have a new deal of things and then we will gel over our perturbation." I do not care who is president or who is secretary of the treasury or how much breadstuffs go out of the country or how much gold is imported until we learn to pay our debts and it becomes a general theory in this country that men must buy no more than they can pay for. Until that time comes there will be no permanent prosperity. Look at the pernicious extravagance. TaKe the one fact that New York every year pays §3,000,000 for theatrical amusements. While once in a while a Henry Irving or an Edwin Booth or a Joseph Jefferson thrills a great audience with tragedy, you know as well as 1 do, that the va3t majority of the theaters are as debased as debased they can be, as unclean as unclean they can be and as damnable as damnable they can be. Three million dollars, the vast majority of those dollars going in the wrong direction. U a r m i i l an I C»nece»s»r7 Etpnn«e. Over a hundred millions paid in this country fcr cigars and tobacco a year. About $2,000,000,000 paid for strong drink in one year in this country. With such extravagance, pernicious extravagance, can there be any permanent prosperity? Business men, cool headed business men, is such a thing a possibility? These extravagances a so account, as I have already hinted, for the positive crimes, the forgeries, the abscendingsof the officers of the banks. The store on the business street swamped by the residenes on the fashionable avenue. The father's, the husband's craft capsized by carrying too much domestic sail. That is what springs the leak in the merchant's money till. That is what crack3 the pistols cf the suicides. That is what tears down the banks. That is what stops insurance companies. That is what ha!ts tbi3 nation aga'n and aga'n in its triumphal march of prosperity. In the presence of the American people so far as I can get their attention I want to arraign thi3 monster curB2 of extravagance, and 1 want you to pelt it with your scorn and hurl at It your anathema. How many fortunes tjvery year the tears away with a $150 pocket handkerchief! I show you a domestic tragedy in five acts: Act the first—A home, plain and beautiful. Enter neatly married pair. Enter contentment Enter as much happiness'as ever gets in one home. ~ Act the second—Enter discontent. Enter desire for larger expenditure. Enter envy. Enter jealousy. dreBS-makera, Enter the French milliners. Enter all cosily plate and all great extravagances. Act the fourth—Tiptop of society. Princes and princesses of upper tendom floating in and out Everything on a large and magnificent scale. Enter contempt for other people. * Act tne fifth and hot. Enter the assignee. Enter the sheriff. Enter the creditors, Enter humiliation. Enter the wrath of God. Enter the contempt of society. Enter ruin and death. Now drop the curtaiu.' The play is ended and the lights are out. I called it a tragedy. That la a misnomer. It Is a farce. Pro* dln« for One'* Own. I know it cuts close. I did not know but some of-you in high dudgaon would get up and go out. You stand it well! Some of you nrake a great swash in life, and after awhile you will die, and ministers will be sent for to come and stand by your coffin and He about your excellences. But they will npt come. If you sand for me, I will tell you what my text will be: "He that provideth not for his own, and especially for those of his own household, is wo*se than an infidel." And yet we And Christian men, men of large meani, who sometimes talk eloquently about the Christian church, and about civilization, expending everything on themselves and nothing on the cause of God, and they crack the back of their Palais Royal _gloy_e In try_lng__tp_ hide the one cent they put into the Lord's treasury. What an apportionment! Twenty thousand dollars for ourselves and one cent for God. Ah, my friends, this extravagance accounts for a gr?at deal o' what the cause of Gcd suffers. And the desecration goes on, even to the funeral day. You know very wsll that there are men who die so vent, live stock to foreign countries It ia a matter for satisfaction that dt least ono breed of swine has originated in America. We refer of course to the Poland-China breed of hog*. Certainly, too, this is a breed well worthy of, th^iameULbas^tained not only here ^Ine, which now earns $12,000,000 * l o t » r ^ W o j HMotr of Bonnlor CUvta* tirca* Coppnr Allots Like all »leh mines* the United, Verde, the greatest copper mine in t*t» world and wh^ch is owned by Senator W. A. Clark of Montana, has an in-„ Lereeting history. C.ark bought t a t but abroad, for exportation of live animals for breeding purposes has been carried on to some extent of late' i i L ^ . ^ t r S ^ . ^ 1 . ? ! J • « » consumers of America* pork and pork products knew that the Poland China .furnished most of this product they would more thoroughly appreciate the breed as an American "institution." It is pre-eminently a lard hog, hut at the same time the staple producer of farm bacon and hams and of a great proportion of all pork products in the market Yet while it is an American breed pure and simple it is known by the complex, perplexing name "Poland-China"! What had Poland to do with its formation? Not a thing that we have been able to discover and China had almost as little. When the breed found Its starting place back in the rich Miami valley of Ohio it Is said that in 1816 John Wallace introduced to tint county three breeding hogs called "Big Chinas." They were bought In Philadelphia and were said to be from China or bred, from Chinese stock. This is the only trace of China we can find In the early history of the breed and facts regarding any Polish blood having beta used are entirely absent so that lt may be taken for granted that no such blood was utilized. It is evident then that our native breed of swine is poorly named for 'while it originated in America neither the Polaks nor the Chinese contributed anything to its success or formation yet receive the credit in its designation. The breed should have been called the "Miami County hog," or possibly the "Warren County hog," as lt was once called. year profits,; from two women £200,000. This was the way it cam* about Two ranchers in the Verde valley located the property. They sold out for $10,000 to William Murray and former Gov. Trittle ot Arizona. One of the .ranchers promptly proceeded to drink himself into delirium tremens with his share of the money. Murray and Trittle induced two New York women of independent fortune to back them to the extent of $200,069 in the development of the mine. This money « a t n a a r l y *11 gpanfr *qfl t^e^JgOSpeCtS were blue when the miners struck a pocket of silver ore that paid $80-,000. Murray died and Trittle failed to get any more profit out of the nrin«. it was abandoned for several years. Clark with his foreman came down from Montana looking for mining property. They saw the Verde, like* it, went to New York, found the women only too glad to sell their stock for its face* value and got possession. Clark proceeded to develop the mine scientifically and soon found that he was "riuht on the ore chute," as miners say. Then ha built a hundred-ton smelter and set about taking out the ore that has made him the copper king of the world. There are about 3,000 shares of stock in the mining company and Ssnator Clark owns them all. ; * -but-the expense* *re-so great_hsfsre ^ ^ ^ coaraer than those of the pres-' h a V e h e a T d o f they get underground they are insolvent.

And then look how the causa of God is impoverished. Men give so much sometimes for their indulgences they have nothing for the cause of God and religion. Twenty-two million dollars expended ln~~this country a year for religious purposes! But what are the twenty-two millions expended for religion compared with the hundred millions expended on cigars and tobacco and then two thousand millions of dollars spent for rum? So a man who had a fortune of $750,000 or what amounted to that, in London spent it all in indulgences, chiefly in gluttonies, and sent hither and yon for all the delicacies and often had a meal that would cost $100 or $200 for himself. Then he was reduced to a guinea, with which he bought a rare bird, had it cooked in best style, ate it, took two hours for digestion, walked out on Westminster bridge and jumped in'o the Thames—on a large scale what men are doing on a small scale.

The first specimens of the; breed we can call to mind were ent day and had more white spots up on them, in fact some of them showed about as much white as black as may easily be seen by referring to some of the old cuts of Poland-China swine such for instance as those published by A. C. Moore of Canton, 111., and other early and extensive breeders.' It would seem to us too that the hogs have grown shorter and blocker, a fact that cannot altogether be considered an improvement except far lard production; it certainly has not made the breed more prolific in breeding— indeed lt must we think be confessed that the bread is less prolific now than twenty years or more ago. It has much improved in head and ear being neater and finer and this may also be said of the bones which are less In bulk and; possibly stronger in texture than when "ail corn" was the prevailing method of feeding. In capacity for lard production this breed, has taken the lead of all competitors and "No, I stopped the use of the Pills some tim« ago, and have not had the slightest return of my old trouble.

A bright, beautiful mornias. with a gentle breeze sweeping down ths fragrance of flower and shrub from the mountain slope, Ulin had eaten tnr breakfast, and, wltn Albla by her side, •at" upon an open window, gazing out upon the park «»f fountains. As she thus sat, the save woman Calypso entered the apartment and announced that the robber wished to seo ths Lady -.-Iran. • - "What TolDberr" asked the princess. "The same oae that came yesterday/' Ulla dia not stop to think wh'ther tire visit would be pleasant or otherwise. The man had signified his purpose, and as he was master in the palace, she had no idea of opposing him. Calypso withdrew, and presently afterwards tho robber entered, ^ie cam3 in with the same noble step and bsar- Ing; tbe same pleasant, genial face; and with the same look and salute of reverence and respect. "I trust that the Lady Ulin his passed * quiet night," he said, in deep sincerity. "I have rested well, eir," she replied. "Good. I am glad of that. I feared you might have bad dreams." "Not many,- sir." "•Ah—and did you have any such?" "Not—not many." "Ycu dreamt that Julian was a demon, eh?" "No, no, sir—my dreams were not of him." "r hope, sweet lady, that you dreamed not darkly of me." ''No, sir. It was of—" —Th o "nrattfen troubled;-but heii visitor came to hsr assistance. "Nf-ver mind, lady, I meant not to inquire into tho secret twinings ol your mind. I only hoped that I had not been unfortunate enough to excite the apprehension of your slumbering fancies." He sml'ed as he spoke, at the samo time moving a step nearer, and then adding^ "I am glad you have not suffered from r - r coming; for I have the more courage to ask you if you will see JuUan." "You said you would accompany him, sir." "Yes." "Then I may as well see Mm at on> time as another. You may inform h m that the lady Ulln rests her safety and honor in his manhood." "He has been so informed, fair lady." ' "Then, let him come." "Gentle lady, pardon me If I have led you upon a fanciful way o' thought, r am Julian. I am he whom men call the Seourga of Dimascus And now I crave your indulgence; mU still I shall bow most humbly to your commands. At your word I l a v e th s apartment; yet, I should like to speak a l l t t e further. I should like to explain more fully why I am here." Wa3 Ulin frightened? Not at all. She was startled when she first know that the man bafore her was tha dreadful Scourge of whom she had heard so much; but it was an emotion of astonishment. At first she could hardly believe that she had heard the tru:h. "You—Julian?" she murmured, gazing into his face. "Aye, lady." And th-n ho. add-d with a smile, "I suppose you expected to find me black and ugly, like t i n foul genii whom Solomon imprisoned in the sea. Am I right?" "I did not .think you were Julian," the maiden said, after some hesitation. As she spoke she seemed to gain new confidence and composure; a d r r s~ ently she added, "T had heard so much of your terrible deeds, that. I' expected to find a—" "A monster," suggested Julian, helping her out. "Not exactly that," returned Ul'.n. with a smile.^ "though I am free to confess that I shou'd not have been so much surprised as I have been, if I had seen a worse looking man." "Thank you," cried the robber laughing. "I shall take that as a compliment, and lay it up among the mosi precious of my recollections. I understand you; so, upon this point, I need only assure you that I am Jul an, and that I must own the somewhat dubious title which has been bestowed upon me. And now, lady, may I sit hers for a few moments, and speak with you further?" The very thing lilin had been upon the point of suggesting. She did not like to see him standing before her; nor was she anxious that "he shouM leave her. She had a strong curiosity to hear him speak furthsr. There was somsthing in the apatarance of tha youthful adventurer that dsapty interested her. She bade him be ssat.d, and then, without intending to be heard, she murmured: "So young!" "Aye, lady," he said, catching the whispered words. "I am y o u n g - younger, perhaps, than I look. Only three-and-twenty years have cast their, shadows upon me. At that ags the youth of the city Just breaking from the bonds of parental r e s t r a i n t s .as a child; but with me it has been differe n t A parent I never knew,__A kind, generous woman, who was my nursa, took the place of a mother during my earliest childhood; and a white-haired old man, who lived apart from the world, gave me my first lessons oi life, and led me up till t could protec: myself. A father's fostering care I never knew. A mother's love I never realized. The cruel blow which shattered the cup -of my Joys, killed my poor mother ero my tongue could Usp her name. As I grew to manhood I knew that I was an orphan, and that my misfortune was the work of ths King of Damascus. 0! how the iron settled into my soul. I had grown strong and resolute, a3 though heaven would enable me to work retribution upon the tyrant. Do you ask me if I enjoy the life I have led. I answer— I have made enjoyments for myself. I have felt a peculiar satisfaction in knowing that the king feared me. When I have heard my nam? spoken by the rich and powerful with fear and trembling, I have liked it; and when I have known that Horam dreaded my approach, I have fe't that my labors were not without their resul". But these have not been my joys. In Damascus the name of Julian Is a ter ror; but there are other places, w_harj? that name is spoken with lov-> and -gratitude. Upon the piains of Ab'lene, and in the ^mountain passes of L ban on, where the busy craftsmen prepare timber for Jenralsm—there Julian Is hailed as a frjend and benefactor. The grim satisfaction of torturing the critel King of Darasscus is tempered and softened by the calmer atmosphere of these friendly regions." Why did Ulin sft so sti'.l and listen with such rapt attention to the words of the speaker? She bent her head as though soft music were stealing o'er her senses; and she gazed upon the man before her as though a grand, inspiring picture had been unfolded to her vision. His words cavrl d truth in their very sound, and all her sympathies had been aroused. She was a woman whose nature . had not been warped by art; and the av?nues to her --on! were guarded only by the pure instincts of virtue and humanity. Not always the safest guard; but still the happiest when surrounding influences are net evil. ."•And now, lady," pursued Julian, "I must tell you why I am here; and in doing this I speak only those wo-ds necessary to the truth. On my way from the plains I met a messenger, who informed me that a fair maiden h.ad been shut up in the Palace of the Valley. I could not believe that a beautiful young virgin had willingly given herself to the desires of Horam. I thought she had been shut up thus against her own pleasure. With th's belief I resolved to release her. The result you know. I have heard your story from the lips of the black slave who attends upon you, and she informs me that you are affianced to the king by your own consent, and wkhout any desires on your part to the contrary. Is it so?" "The slave told you truly, s.r," replied Ulin, bowing her head, and speaking in a very lew tone. "And you came here to this p a c e of your own free will?" "Yes, sir. My period of mourning was not parsed, and the king brought me hither that I might be more retired." "And but for the death of your mother you would have been tha king's wife e^o this?" Ulin replied in the affirmative; but her voice trembled, and she seemed to shudder'at the thought thus presmt^d. "Lady," said Julian, showing som-> emotion, which he evidently did not mean to show, "for my seeming wro-.ie: I mept humbly beg your pardon. I hed thought to wrest from the grasp of the king one who was an unwilling captive: but since I find myself mistaken I will do a'l I can to make amends. A "And," said the robber, rising to his feet, "It is better that I should leave you at once." He stopped, and swept his hand across his brow, and when he resumed; his speech was very low, and his voice tremulous: "This has been a most strange adventure; and as I now look upon St, it seems as though some mischievous sprits had planned It As I live I thought when I came hither but auch i»'!~h*re teW you ofv -* hive met you.! lady, and for the first time in my life I have felt my heart drawn warm y towards my native city.

Olrasied, L* Roy, N. Y. wished; but that she had no wish so to do was evident from the free and friendly manner In which she arose to meet him. She gave him her hand, and suffered him to raise it to his lips. "Dear lady, should we never meet again, I trust that you will b:ar one kindly thought of Julian. If you are forced to think of the wrongs he has done, let a memory of the wrong3 he has suffered be some extenuaJon. Bless you, lady! 'All good spirits guard and protect you; and peace be thine forevermore! Farewell!" He turned and was gone. Ulin felt a warm spot upon her hand—a drop of moisture—a tear! She gazed upon It, and knew that it came not from her eye. It fell there with the kiss. A strange tribute from the Scourge of Damascus! "Albia, I think I shall never see that man again; but I shall remember him with emotions far removed from fear or terror." "You will remember him as little as possible, my mistress," said the slave girl, taking a seat close by Ulin's 3ide, and resting her hand upon her arm. "What mean you, Albla? Why should my memory be narrowed or shortened?" "Because you are to have a husband who will demand your every thought and feeling. Horam is deeply versed in all the secrets of the female h:art, and his eyes will not sleep while you have a thought which he does not understand." ^'Indeed, Albla," cried the princess, with a look of amazement, "you m sunderstand me." "If such be the case," replied the -girJ^ ve?y qutetly, iyou-wiH-forgive me for what I have said; and of Julian we_will.think_.no more." Ah—was it se? Had Ulin been misur. derstcod? Had the keen-ey,d Aibia been mistaken? Would there be no more thought of Julian? The day passed away, and towards evening Aswad returned from the mountains. He said he had not fled from fear of the robbers; but that, when h saw that defeat was inevitable, he had sought safety from capture so that he might communicate with Damascus. Perhaps he old the truth. At all events; he resumed his command, and once more posted his guards about the valley; and then came to assure the princess that she was safe. It was in the evening, just as the last gleams of day were fading out, and before the lamps had been lighted —at that season when the thoughts are most apt to wander and Strangj ..ancies visit the mind. • • * It was not to be that U'in should spend the alloted time at the Palacj of the Valley. The king had heard oJ the attack of Julian, and he came with a large army to bear the princ.ssj away from a place which was nc longer safe. He was somewhat surprised when he found that the Scourge of Damascus had be^n w.Aun the pulace, and had withdrawn again; a \c when he had heard the story frcn; Calypso, he ordered one half the p.;l r.ce guadsmen to bej executed wiUir the valley. The maiden had heard from Calypso of the bloody deed which had b^os done by the k i n g s ord„r, and when she knew that he wa3 coming, she declared her intention of refusing to S£» him. But Aibia persuaded her \o k different course. "As you value your future welfare,'" plead the bond maiden, "so must yon behave before the king. If you wou.c live in peace, let him have no.occas.oc to mistrust your real feelings. He ifc coming. Beware!" The warning was most seasonable; and U.in. by obeying it so conducree I herself that Horam thought she onh suffered from the dread ml fright occasioned by tjhe appearance of the terrible Julian. Ho spoke to her words oi cheer and assurance, and announce his purpose of carrying her back tt Damascus. ' W e will rest tonight, sweet love," he said, "and on tho morrow you shah find a safer shelter." Ulin gazed upon the wrinkled face, and upon the quaking limbs, and upoiA the sparse gray hairs; and she cou n not repress a shudder. She looked upon the thin, hard hands of the moairch. and they seemed covered wit* blood. She watched him as he departed with her father; and when he had crone she sank down, and leaned h«v head upon Albia's besom. "O," she murmured, "I fear that 1 have^undertaken more than I can accomplish. T cannot be that man's wife! I never knew him until now. Ha will kill me!" "Peace!" whispered the bondmaiden. But she whispered in vain. (To be Continued.)

If Kaffir corn, which has been such a good yielder and drought reSlster, should be excluded from the ration of the dairy cow, many farmers in central and western Kansas would be Obliged to quit the dairy business. The Kansas experiment station has fed the grain and fodder of Kaffir corn for months at a time and'.has never experienced a particle of trouble from its producing a poor quality of butter. During the months of February and March, 1SUS, the station herd was fed almost exclusively on Kaffir cornmeal for the grain ration. The butter was tested by competent judges and pronounced excellent in quality. Since this time both the grain and the fodder of KathV corn have been used as the whole or part of the ration, the milk being sent to the Manhattan crenciery, where it has been saved to use in the making of starters. The milk has also been used each year at the dairy school both with and without milk from other sources. It has been specially sorght for by our cheese boys in their effort to make a first class quality of cheese, and in no instance have w e beard a single complaint from the use of the college milk on account of the cows being fed on Kaffir corn. When the season is a poor one for the curing of the crop and the grain has been left on the fodder, considera* ble penetrating dust arises from the crop when handled at feeding time. If the feeding is done just before or at milking time, particles of this dust, with nil the germs that they carry with them, will undoubtedly llud their way to the milk pail and may ci.v.sz a poor quality of butter. This points to the necessity of feeding after rather than before milking. In this way Kaffir corn, properly balanced, is one. of our best feeds for a dairy cow and should be grown extensively where corn is uncertain. gTATJS OF MICHIGAN, Coua^ of Livlngitoa, At a iwssion of the Probate Court for Bald County, held at the Probata OQloe in tlie Village of Howell, on Wednesday t&e 3rd day of July, la tbe year one thou aud time hundred and one.

Bullfighter* Afraid or Cows. It will probably not surprise our readers to hear that most Spanish bullfighters object to fighting cows. The real reason may, however, astonish them. A sportsmanlike objection to persecuting a female animal has nothing whatever to do with it. The fact is that the average toreador is sincerely afraid of a cow. And he has good reason. The cows of the half wild breed used for the arena are much quicker in their movements than are the bulls. Their horns are more pointed and more formidable.

As a matter of fact, the only way to render a person unconscious by the use of chloroform Is in the way practiced by surgeons in the operating room. And this is by no mean* an easy task. There are several ways of dulug i t -The chloroform may be dropped ou a handkerchief, which is then held over the face at some little distance, or it may be dropped.on a sponge, or it may be used In one of the innumerable machines Invented for the purpose. But the vapor must be mixed witb air before it is breathed. That Is the reason the hand-1 kerchief or the sponge is held some j Inches from the face. As a rule At \ takes from five to eight minutes to make the person unconscious, and dur- j ing this time he generally struggles; very violently. It is probable that many of the charges of chloroforming which have been made are false. Sometimes the pretended victim asserts that he has become unconscious immediately. But it bas been shown in evidence that the time necessary to bring about this result is at least four or five minutes. Sometimes he says he could not cry o u t yet he describes all the circum* stances of the administration minutely. Now, the first effect of the chloroform is to produce confusion of the mind, while, on the other band, the patient can cry out almost up to the last. H e becomes mentally' confused before he loses the power of speech. These few facts are sufficient perhaps to demonstrate that some charges of possible chloroforming are necessarily nntrue.—London Mall. A Little Drama.

The first known of t h e m u r d e r by others in the Mold was the discharge- of the gun, the man having secreted himself behind a shock of grain.

Behind the shooting of Smith there Is some great secret, so the neighbors, •who are In a position to know, declare. For years Smith and the man who Is believed to have killed him have been the bitterest enemies. Nothing w a s too mean for either to do if it would bring inconvenience to the other. Before they were enemies the men w e r e bosom friends, t h e neighbors ssert. Xo oue seems t o kuow w h a t caused the r u p t u r e In their relations.

A knowledge of t h i s device will enable readers to estim a t e the probable truth of these rumors when they first make their appearance. A Maryland judge has judicially affirmed one of woman's rights, says the Pittsburg Dispatch. If a woman finds her husband loitering ~afounbTtEe streets, she has^ a right to order him home, where his presence is wanted, and to push, shove or otherwise use so much force a s is necessary to make him obey. This is an especially indisputable right, according to t h e learned court of Hageratown, Md., where the loitering husband is found in company with another woman. The author of "The Kidnapped Millionaires," the latest novel t o attract gerieral attention, is Frederick Upaam Adams, an inventor of some note. He recently built a railroad train which shattered all records from a mile t o one hundred miles. It was built t o avoid atmospheric resistance, and was popularly known as the "cigar-shaped t r a i n " or the "wind-splitter." Between Washington and Baltimore this train of seven cars attained the remakable speed of 103 miles an hour. Wayne County Taxes. City Assessor Louis Smith, of Sagtnaw, was in Detroit for a short time Tuesday. Smith, with the assessor.* of Kalamazoo, have been hired by the state tax commission to investigate the assessments of W a y n e county, t h e purpose being to show t h a t assessments here are low. Ex-Tax Commissioner Oakman made the following comment on this move: "It might be well for some of the heavier taxpayers of Detroit to ask the -s-tnte tax eooHub*s4ento appoint- t h e city assessors of Detroit to Investigate the assessments l)f mines in the upper peninsula and to sen imw the figure* in .other Michigan cities a r e placed. That would relieve the tax commissioners of all responsibility." The city assessors have set ten of their men a t work to take the figures at which recent sales of real estate in this city were made, in order t h a t it may be shown that Detroit property la assessed at almost market value. Five vears ago the total equalization was fixed at $140 242 308 nnd this vear the amount is $2H2.421.0i:>. a .lump or something more than $8(1000.000.

I have been so discontented lately that any change .will be welcome. And has not Shakespeare said: My crown is In my heart, not on my liend; Not deck'd with diamonds and Indian stones, Nor to be seen— rny crown is call'd con- ««»nt: A crown it Is t h a t seldom kings enjoy. So I am going to be contented and wear my unseen crown upon my heart, knowing that few kings enjoy a like privilege. X.

What Destiny has chosen for me in the shape of Tom is a handsome, well-groomed, ordinary business man, devoted to the manufacture of silver-plated tableware. The Creighton knives and spoons and forks are the best in the market, a3 Tom is certainly the very dearest fellow in the world, even though I say I should not have selecteu him for a brother if I were ordering one. Nor would I have chosen Orton as a place of residence, preferring rather to reside at Cambridge with my presidential brother. Orton is a mass of factory chimneys which spell out the word commerce every day in the week except Sunday. I have never seen Cambridge, but 1 imagine It a cloistered, ivy-clad colony of ancient buildings faithfully guarding all the traditions of culture. And so here is the problem which Destiny has set me, and which I can solve only by putting my invisible crown firmly on my heart Orton has one salient advantage; being given over -to commerce. It is commercially situated; it is a seaport town.

So God pulled him tate, and :he Bays*. "JusLshow me how it is done." And he is shown.

God did excuse him because he committed Bin liriitghnp^gcgs^or because the transgressor was wide resounding. He tnamsured Nebuchadnezzar in high places just as he would measure the JUunblest captive. But in our time you know as well as I that there is a disposition to put A halo around iniquity if it is committal ha conspicuous place and if it is tride resounding and of large proportions. Ever and anon there has been Jtn epidemic of crime in high places, .rand there is not a state or city and :'tartly a village which haa not been ~ called -to look upon astounding for- ©r an absconding bank cashier or lident or "the wasting of trust fund • or swindling mortgages. I propose in •narqtfng out the suggestion of my text aa Tar as "I can, to scatter the fascinations around iniquity and show you •that sin is sin and wrong is wrong Whether in high place or low place and -that it will be dealt with by that God who dealt with impalaced Nebuchad- .aexzar. / Keeds to Be Prtienttd. /"A missionary in the island of the • Pacific preached one Sabbath on honesty and dishonesty, and on Monday be found his yard full of all styles of - goods, which the natives had brought. ./He could not understand it until a nathre told him, "Our gods permit us to *- parloln goods, but the God you told •vm about yesterday, the God of hea- .wea and earth, it seems, is against these practices, and so we brought all »£»» goods that do not belong to us, and VQ«jr are in the yard, and we want you Nto help us distribute them among their frightful owners." And if in all the jpa\plts of the United States today rousiag sermons could be preached on honesty and the evils of dishonesty and the sermons were blessed of God and r«rrangements could be made by which rail the goods which have been improp- *«rly taken from one man and appropriated by another man should be put { ia the city halls of the country there ' m not a city hall in the United States ' Chat would not be crowded from cellar vto cupola. Faith of the gospel; that we must preach and we do preach. Morality of the gospel we must ju3t as certainly proclaim. Now .lock abroad and see the fascinations that are thrown around different styles of crime. The question that *«eery man and woman has been asked "•has been, Should crime be excused be- « cause it is on a large scale? Is iniquity • eattty and to be pursued of the law in -proportion as it is on a small scale? ^Shall we have the penitentiary for < the man who steals an overcoat from • aVhatrack and all Canada for a man to range in if he have robbed the public «of millions? The Way to Gat Mount. There has been an irresistible im- : presslou going abroad among young * ~ asaa'that the poorest way to get monty f i s to earn it. The young man of flaunti fag cravat says to the young man of Vbunble appearance: "What, yon only 91,800 a year? Why, that wouldn't me in pin money. I spend $5,000 a. *ear." "Where do you get it?" asks the plain young r.an. "Oh, stocks, cn- Marprlses—aH that sort of thing, you 'know." The plain young man has < hardly ^enough money to pay his board i and has to wear clotho3 after they are <oat of fashion and deny himself all fexurles. After awhile he gets tired of MB plodding and ho goes to the man •who has^acbie^d suddenly large esther over on the side of his head than he ever did, smokes better cigars and more of them. He has his hand in! Now, if he can escape the penitentiary for three or four years he will get into political circles and he will get political jobs and will have something to do with harbors and pavements and docks. Now he has got so far along he is safe for perdition. It is quite a long road sometimes for a man to travel before he gets into the romance of crime. Those are caught who are only in the prosaic stage of it. If the sheriffs and constables would only leave them alone a little while, they would steal as well as anybody. They might not be able to steal a whole railroad, but they could master a load of pig iron. Now, I always thank God when I find an estate like that go to smash. It is plague struck, and it blasts the nation. I thank God when it goes into such a wreck it can never b9 gathered up again. I want it to bscome so loathsome and such an insufferable stench that honest young men will take warning. If God should put into money or its representative the capacity to go to its lawful owner, there would not be a bank or a safety deposit in the United States whose walls would not be blown out and mortgages would rip and parchments would rend and gold would shoot and beggars would get on horseback and stock gamblers would go to the almshouse. -_-_._Tha- Ta m p t« 11 on • -la__DlaJLQfvM ty._ How many dishonesties in the mak^ ing out of invoices and in the plastering of false labels and in the filching of customers of rival houses and in the making and breaking of contracts! Young men are indoctrinated in the idea that the sccner they get money the better, and the getting of it on a larger scale only proves to them their greater ingenuity. There is a glitter thrown around about all these things. Young men have got to find out that God looks upon sin in a very different -ttghfc —— A young man stood behnd a counter in New York selling silks to a lady, and he said before the sale was consummated. "I see there is a flaw in that silk." The lady recognized it, and the sale was not consummated. The head man of the firm saw the interview, and he wrote home to the father of the young man, living in the country, saying: "Dear sir, come and take your boy. He will never make a merchant." The father came down from the country home in great consternation, as any father would, wondering what his son had done. He came into the store, and the merchant said to him, "Why, your son pointed out a flaw in some silk the other day and spoiled the sale and we will never have that lady probably again for a customer, and your son will never make a merchant." "Is that all?" said the father. "I am proud of him. I wouldn't for the world have him another day under your influence. John, get your hat and coat; let us start." There are hundreds of young men under the pressure, under the fascinations thrown around about commercial iniquity. Thousands of young men have gone down under tire pressure; other thousands have maintained their integrity. God help you! Let me say to you, my young friend, that you never can be happy in a prosperity which comes from ill gotten gains. "Oh," you say, "I might lose my place. It is easy for you to stand there and talk, but it is no easy thing to get a place when you have lost it. Besides that, I, have a widowed mother depending upon my exertions, and you must not be too reckless in giving advice to me." Ah, my young friend, it is always safe to do right, but it is never safe to do wrong. You go home and tell your mother the pressure under which you are in /that store, and I know what she will say to you, if she Is worthy of you. She will say: "My son, come out from there. God has taken care of us all these years, and he will take care of us now. Come out of that." MWtua of Traat Fandt. Oh, there is such a fearful fascination in this day about the use of trust funds. It has got to be popular to take the funds of others and speculate with them. There are many who are practicing that iniquity. Almost every man in the course of his life has the property of others put in his care. He has administered, perhaps, for a dead friend; he is an attorney, and money passes from debtor to creditor through his hands; or he is In a commercial establishment and gets a salary for the discharge of hi3 responsibilities; or he is treasurer of^ a philanthropic institution, and money for the suffering goes through his hands; or he has eome office in city or stato or nation, and taxes and subsidies and supplies and salaries are in his hands-. Now, that is a trust That is as cacrcd a trust as God can give a man. It is the concentration of confidence. Now, when that man takes that money, the money of others, and goes to speculating with It for his own purposes, he i3 guilty of theft, falsehood and perjury and in the most intense sense of the WQrd ia a miscreant, (or the TEETH and BREATH 289 26o 7Bo 25 law S l u S0Z0DOIT LIQUID , . .

Dangers of L.lb*rUnl«m, So there has been a great_ deal of fascination thrown around libertinism. Society is very severe upon tho.impuruy that lurks around the alleys and low haunts of the town. The law pursues it, smites it, incarcerates it, trie3 to destroy it. You know as well as I that society becomes lenient in proportion as impurity becomes affluent or is in elevated circles, and finally society is silent or disposed to palliate. Where is the judge, the jury, the police officer that dare arraign the wealthy libertine? He walks the streets, he rides the parks, he flaunts his iniquity in the eyes of the pure. The hag of uncleanness looks out of the tapestried window. Where is the law that dares take the brazen wretches and put their faces in an iron frame of a state prison window? ~ ~St«ae44m€a4L-Sfiejai_tQ_me as Jf_ so^. ciety were going back to the state of morals of Herculaneura, when it sculptured its vileness on pillars and temple wall and nothing but the lava of a burning mountain could hide the immensity of crime. At what time God will Tiso up and extirpate these evils upon society I know not, nor whether he will do it by Are or hurricane or earthquake; but a holy God I do not think will stand it much longer. I believe the thunderbolts are hissing hot and that when God comes to chas- Uhutpsr Hare than la Many Other Countrlaa of 'the World, , Tho registration of trade marks has become a necessity of late years, for unless an article of merit is protected by such means or by letters patent it is sure to be imitated by soma unscrupulous person. It is only within a few years, however, that the question of protecting trade marks has assumed grave Importance. Thi3 Is due to the enormous lncreaso in advertising of health foods, cereals, patent medicines and athletic novelties. The tariff of charges for registering trade marks In the various countries seems in some instances to be based upon the idea that authorized labels and the like are as much a'luxury as a coach and four. In Zululand, Peru, Uraguay, Hong Kong and Granada the tariff fixed by law for each trade mark i3 f 145 in gold, the highest on the entire list. In this country trade marks are filled with the tise the community for these sins, against which he has uttered himself more bitterly than against any other, the fate of Sodom and Gomorrah will be tolerable as compared with the fate of our modern society, which knew better, but did worse. The Sacrrdnett of Life. Then look at the fascinations thrown around assassination. There are in all communities men who have taken the lives of others unlawfully, not as executioners of Jhe law, and they go scot free. You say they had their provocations. God gave life, and he alone has a right to take it, and he may take it by visitation of providence or by an executioner of the law, who is his messenger. But when a man assumes that divine prerogative he touches the lowest depth of crime. Society is alert for certain kinds of murder. If a citizen gding along the [ road at night is waylaid and slain by a robber, we all want the villain ar- ; rested and executed. For all garroting, for all beating out of life by a club or an ax oi;a slungshot, the law has quick spring and heavy stroke, but you know that when men get affluent and high position and they avenge their wrongs by taking the lives of others, great sympathy is excited, lawyers plead, ladies weep, judge halts, jury is bribed and the man goes free. If the verdict happen to be against ^nlm, a new trial is called on through some technicality and they adjourn for witnesses that never come, and adjourn and adjourn until the community has forgotten all about it, and then the prison door* opens and the murderer goes free. Now, if capital punishment be right, I say let the life of the polisnTd" murderer go with the life of the vulga'V assassin. Let us have no partiality of gallows, no aristocracy of electrocution chair. Do not let us float back to barbarism, when every man was his own judge, jury and executioner, and that man had the supremacy who had the sharpest knife and the strongest, arm and the quickest step and the stealthlest revenge. He who willfully and in hatred takes the life of another is a murderer, I care not what the provocation or the circumstances. Be may be cleared by an enthusiastic courtroom, he may be sent by the government of the United States as minister to some foreign court, or modern literature may polish the crime unV-1 it looks like heroism; but in the sight of God murder is murder, and the judgment day will so reveal it. patent offlce"andTthe"price fur ing one ia $55, which is the lowest rate charged anywhere. Canada charges $60 for a general or special trade mark. There are some couiv.ries of Europe that demand $100 for registering a trade mark, but in Gi'eat Britain, Germany, Austria, France and Spain the fee in each case is $75. This is the rate asked in the majority of the English colonies, including 'New South Wales and New Zealand, but in Cape Colony it is $115 and in South Africa $135. The latter price *i also demanded in Costa Rica. Some of the bargain counter sales in the Leeward islands, Jamaica, British Guiana, Mauritius, Argentine" Republic, Bolivia, Chili, Guatemala, Sierra Leone and Bulgaria, each of which charges $115. Little Venezuela is content with $100 for Ue privilege of recording the existence of a patent label. There are thousands of trade marks that are never heard-of by the great masses, because they are not properly advertised. The majority of trade mark lawyers realize big profits fighting infringements of private marks rather than in registering new ones. One o( them has just settled a case that was in the courts for four years. The single word "favorite" was at issue and the courts have decided that there is no exclusive proprietary right In the word as a trade mark. One of the most successful lawyers, who represents the Interests of a big cereal firm and cracker establishment as well,, says that it costs more than $15,000 annually to protect his clients from those who twist the names of brands in every conceivable way. A T I C K E T ' S L I M I T A T I O N S . Unique Feature of DanUh. Railways Are Fortnightly Ticket*. Denmark was absolutely tho pioneer in ciieap railway farc»3. The fares were reduced all round, so that the longer the distance the greater the reduction, but, at the same time, the return ticket system was abolished fir journeys within Denmark. One of the greatest boons to business men and holiday makers is the so-called fortnightly ticket. For third-class it costs 22s 3d and for second class £ 15s 6d. Such a ticket entitles the holder to travel all over Denmark for a term of fourteen days. He can go wherever he cares to go, and as many times over the same route as he may wish within the time paid for—namely, fourteen days. A holiday maker may visit every place of interest in Denmark during that time and, if he found any pleasure In traveling from town to town night and day for the period he cduTa"~do SOT He pttys-tfae-price Of D A N D A L Y ' S G O L F S T O R Y . He Hits Upon S t a t e Jokes Not Made to Order. "Stage jokes are rarely made to order," said Dan Daly to a writer in the New York World. "Mine turn up in all sorts of queer ways. In a barroom the other night I heard a fellow say he was going to open a saloon on Broadway. 'Who did you ever whip?' asked the bartender.

One afternoon while lounging about (he Casino stage I picked up a scrap of newspaper that had evidently been used to wrap up something. In glancing it over ] found the golf story, credited to 'Exchange.' I don't even know what paper it was, as part of the page was torn off. It looked like one of those patent insides used in small towns. The odd thing about it all waa that 1 was never allowed to tell the whole story. You know it goes on to explain that after you hit the ball you walk a mile, and that if you find it the same day you win. At that point the audience thought the climax had been reached and laughed. The first time I tried to finish the story, hut nobody heard me and I never tried it again. It would have been useless. The story continues that if you don't find the ball the same day you send your man to look for it the next, and if he finds it, he wins. After awhile I saw that the audience was right and that the story really ended better where they insisted it should. At first, though, it madu me pretty mad." £1 2s 3d, with a deposit, of 5s 6d for the ticket, on which a photograph of the holder is parted, and at the expiration of the fourteen days he returns the, ticket and gets the 5s 6d deposit back. He can also buy a ticket for a month, and the longer the time tho greater the reduction. While a fortnightly ticket costs 22s 3d, a 12- month ticket costs £10. If the passenger had to ?y*y for a twelve-month ticket at the i* te of 23 3d per fortnight it would cost him £26 14s. Thus the reduction is over 150 per cent. If instead of paying for a fortnightly ticket a traveler went from Esbjerg to Copenhagen and back as often as, he could within fourteen days, an* bought ordinary tickets for each trip, they would cost him over £6, and this amount would be doubled in a fortnight if he went sightseeing from one place to another, traveling all over Denmark in easy stages.

Beyond any question the most modern of the world's monarchs is William II, says the St. Louis Globe-Democrat. The other day he cabled to Baron von HoReben,. the German ambassador at Washington, to "transmit to the brotherhood of Young Men's Christian Associations of America, assembled for their iubilee convention, my hearty congratulations." He added that he was glad to see the German associations "active In the same endeavor, take part fraternally in this solemn gathering."

By the heavens above me, 'it shall not be so! rI must find some way for this man's capture. I have sent out ray annies against him, and he 'has cither avoided them, or met and overcome them. Life of my soul just think of it. He met a thousand of my armed men, and swept them back over the plains of Abilene as though they had been so many women. What shall I do, iAboul?" "Thnr<» Ishiif onp wav. sire, that I can'conceive of. It seems to be useless to ^end out force against him; for he is a quick-witted rascal; and, if he cannot successfully cope with them, he can keep out of their way. He hai spies throughout the whole land." "Aye—^1 know he has!" cried the king, with a freih burst of rage. "He has friends among those who live very near to our capital. I wish I could get'hold of them." "Get hold of the chieftain first." "Ah—but how?" "It must be done by strategem, sire. If you cannot find some one man who is able to entrap the Scourge, I see not how you are ever to overcome him. A single man with wit, will and endurance -may accomplish much. A little mouse, working in secret, may uproot a great tree.' "By my life, Aboul, you have spoken the truth. The work must bo done •secretly. "Have I such a man about me?" "How is it with Judah, the Israelite?" suggested the minister. The king started and clapped his 'hands together when he heard the name.. '"By the shades of 'Tartarus, g?od Abodl, you have hit the very man. Juda'h ts with us now. I left him in the "hall as I came in from the garden. I "win-send for him." A 3h*ve, who stood just without the door, was sent after the man'who had T)een spoken of, and ere long he made "his -appearance before 'his royal master. "He was a middle-aged man. with "black'hair and keen black eyes; with features-Sharp in outline, and moulded Into a -cast of peculiar cunning; and wrtfc body and limbs light and muscul a r . H e - w a s below the ordinary size of man; and what he may'have lacked 1n physical strength was more than made irp 'by the quickness and precision of movement. He had been a dweller in Damascus state -childhood, his mother having come from Judea, In poverty and disgrace.and given him away to an officer of the king's household. "Judah,*' -spoke the monarch, "I want you to engage in a dangerous enterprise; but, if you are successful, the honor will he greater than the danger. Are you willing to try it?" "Anything, sire, that can yield me honor and emolument." replied the Israelite, with a low bow. "Give me the freedom of a citizen, and gird the sword of a lieutenant about my loins, and I will undertake anything. I would not even hesitate to go out, igalnst the Scourge of Damascus." "Ha! It is the very thing, Judah. tt is this accursed robber chieftain that I -wish to secure. If you will •lay him, and bring me hit toad, I will make you a free citizen of Damascus; and It you will brrng him to m« alive, and deliver him Into my hands, f Jrlll aot only bestow the cltUenihip up*P yolz, and gird the sword of a lieutenant about your loins, but I wlH give yon a house and a wife.'* The black eyes ot the Israelite snapped and sparkled like polished gems of jet. He strode across the room, and then walked slowly back. "Sire," he finally said, "give me until tomorrow morning to think of this. In twelve hours from this you shall have i » y answer. H I embark upon this enterprise, I must have some hope for success'. I will converse with those of the slaves who have seen the robber and his men, and their observations may help ma." _ "But, Judah, you arejneLto breathe a word of this. My slaves must not mistrust youT object."* "I underseand you, sire; and I will be guarded. Shall it TDQ as I have said?" "Yes, only bear in mind that the thing must be accomplished if accomplishment is possible." "I understand you, sire; and be assured that my wits 'Shall be stretched to their utmost." "Ahoul CaEssmi" said the king, after Judah had gone,"*w'hat do you think?" "I think the fellow will study up some grand plot between now and morning. At all events, sire, I do not believe you can find a better man for your -purpose." At an early hour the king retired, a,nd all night long his sleep was troubled with very unpleasant dreams. He bt the outer world bsfox* he had secured her hand. We must now return to the Palace ot the Valley, where we left those whc were to go In search ot the robbst chieftain. As soon as the Icing hat gone, Judah repeated the instruction/ he had already given to the guards They were not to accompany him? bui they were to come after htm, la a man. ner agreed upon, and were to conduct themselves towards him in all respects as though they had never before seer him. Towards the latter part of the afternoon Judah stripped himself bare tc the skin, and caused one ot the msn tc beat him with, a leathern thong until long livid ridges were raised upon hit shoulders and back. After this he resumed his clothing, and as soon as the shades of evening began to fall, he mounted -a fleet horse, and rode away to the northward towards the plains ol Abilene. He knew that Julian had taken that course, and he hoped tc overtake him before many hours. Until midnight he sped on quite rapidly; Htat after -that-he movedmore-cautious^, ly, peering and listening, upon the right hand and upon the left, as he advanced. So he rode until day had dawned, without seeing or hearing anything worthy of note* But he wa« coming upon something very soon. Just as the sky began to glow with the rich, red glare of the rising sun, he came to a point where a narrow pass between two steep hills opened into a pleasant vale, and just here his horse was stopped by a stout man who advanced, spear in hand, from some trees by the wayside. "Hold!" said the sentinel. "Who are you?" "A wayfarer, as you may sec," replied Judah. "Whither are you traveling?" "To the north." 'Cf--wJiat-are-you.-ia- -pursuit0" ._ A '8 WIFE eUBEOOF mm m* She Suffered for Years and Felt Her Case Was Hopeless— Cured by Fe-ru-na. Scourge of Damascus had robbed him of his beautiful bride, and once he dreamed that his throne had passed from hici. In the morning he was more anxious for the apprehension of the robber than before, and impatiently did he await the coming of the Israelite. At the appointed hour Judah made his appearance and announced that he would undertake the task of delivering up the terrible Scourge. "If I succeed," he said, "you will h«ar from me as soon as success "crowns my efforts. If I fail, you will perhaps never hear from me again." "•And when will you set forth?" asked the king, almost beside himself with hopeful anticipation. "At once, sire. This very day, if I can get ready." "Do you want he'p?" "I would select two of your mo3t trusty guards." "Take as many as you want." "Two will be enough, sire." "Will you take them from those who have been on duty here?" "No, sire. That would not be safe. The robbers might recognize them. I win have two who came with us from Damascus yesterday." '"As'you will, Judah. Select the men you want, and they shall accompany you." The Israelite promised that he would have all hi3 arrangements made bsfore the king was ready to depart, and with this assurance he went away. By the middle of the forenoon the king was ready to set forth on his return to Damascus. Ulin and Albia were placed within a comfortable box upon the back of a stout camel, and aTomnd them were posted a hundred armed men. The remainder of the retinue was arranged under the direction of Aboul Cassem. the king's prime minister, and only the ord?r was needed to set the whole in motion. At this point the king withdrew to the palace, where he found Judah ready to set forth -on his tlangerous mission, and with him were two guards, Osmtr and Selim, two resolute, intelligent fellows, who seemed to love the excitement of the work upon which they were about to enter. The king was pleased with the choloe Judah had made. "I might not have hit upon them," he said; "but 1 know they will sarve you. And now, what more can I do?" "Nothing." replied Judah. "I have all that I can use, and'am ready for the "Work. If I succeed, you will hear from me in good time; and if you never hear from me, you may at least be assured that I failed from no lack of will to serve you." With a few words of encouragement the king left his servant to pursue his own course, and proceeded to Join his army, which was soon in motion; and before the close of another day he arrived-at Damascus, where Ulin was once more suffered to find shelter beneath the roof of her father. Touching her marriage, it was understood that the ceremony should be performed as soon as the period of passed, which would be in two weeks; and until then she was to remain in cloee retirement Horam asked that she might not be suffered to go oat, lor he feared to have her see too much "Just at this present moment I am in most urgent pursuit of something to eat." "Have you money In your purse?" "Enough for present use." "Are you afraid of losing it?" "How?" "By robbers." "Bless you, no. I am rather anxious to see some of these robbers." "You may see them sooner than you would like." "'mat cannot Oe, sir; ror l would like to see them at once." "Ah—what would you with them?" "Never mind. If I am so fortunate as to find them, they shall know." "Perhaps I can find them for you." "I believe ycu can; and, my good sir, if you will conduct me into the presence of Julian, I shall thank you." "Upon my life, you give me credit for wonderful power." "I give you the credit of belonging to Julian's band; and as I am very anxious to see him, I ask you once more, to lead me to him." The man hesitated a moment, and finally said, with a smile breaking over his sunburnt features: "Ycu are free-spoken, and s?em to be honest; and I think I will lead you to the man you seek. But my bold friend, you have need of some fair purpose." "Lead me to Julian, and I will be answerable for the rest." "Very well; you shall not ask again. Dismount, and follow me."

Russia has long prided herself or having the ftrit women physicians The Chautauquan refers to the career of Nadezhda Susloff, one of the earlis: and best women doctors, as particular ly interesting. Born a serf, and freed with her parents at the emancipatior in 1861, she and her brothers and sis ters received the best possible education at hotne and abroad, for her parents were both extremely intelligent and her father acquired wealth after gaining his freedom. Everywhere Ir. Russia and in the continental schoo s Nadezhda was brilliantly successful For thirty years there has been no manner of doubt as to the sympathy o the public and of the medical world with the idea of thorough medical instruction for women. Men started th? movement. In 1870 one professor and two other men undertook to establish courses for instructing women. In ten years there were 959 women students the majority coming from the "privileged classes"—that is to say.nbt peasants. The majority were members of the Russian church, but there were several Jewesses, Roman Catholics and Lutherans. In 1877 twenty-four students were sent to the seat of war. during the Russo-Turkish campaign, and did so well" that they received imperial permission to call themselves after due examination, "women physicians," and to wear a badge." Mrs. Judge McAllister writes from 1217 Weat 33rd at, Minneapolis, Minn., as follows: "I suffered for years with a pain in the small of my back and right side. It Interfered often with my domestic and social duties and i never supposed that I would be cured, as the doctor's medicine did not seem to help me any. "Fortunately a member of our Order advised me to try Peruna and gave it such high praise that I decided to try It Although I started in with little faith, I felt so much better in a week that I felt encouraged. "I took it faithfully for seven weeks and am happy indeed to be able to say that I am entirely cured. ' Words fall to express my gratitude. Perfect health once more is the best thing I could wish for, and thanks to Peruna enjoy that now."—Minnie B. McAllister. T h e great popularity of Peruna as a catarrh remedy has tempted many people to Imitate Peruna. A great many so-called catarrh remedies and catarrhal tonics are to be found In many drug stores. These remedies can be procured by the druggist much cheaper than Peruna. Peruna can only be obtained at a uniform price, and no druggist can get it a cent cheaper. Thus it is that druggists are tempted to substitute the cheap imitations of Peruna for Peruna.

This Is a small church situated outside the walls of Constantinople, and it enjoyed no particular reputation before the conquest of Constantinople by the Turks. At the time of the invasion, however, a monk w a s cooking some fish there when a messenger came and told him that the Turks had entered Constantinople. The monk did not believe the story and said ho would sooner believe that the half cooked fish would jump back into the water. As he spoke the 'fish jumped back into the water, and since then the place has had a great reputation for its healing powers, A church has been built over the spring dedicated to "Our Lady of the Fishes,'* and on this day a regular pilgrimage takes place from nil parts of the town. Many sick are carried;thither, and many miraculous cures are reported. The truth of the story Is proved by the presence in a large marble lined tank in the church of the lineal descendants of the half cooked ftsh.

The gatue of counterfeiting in this country is played by people of all nationalities, and, although some women and children are used as tools, men take the principal parts. After having made the coin the great problem is how to convert it into good money. The maker rarely takes part in that operation. At is the business of gan^s, which consist usually of Jtwo persons, known as the "holder" and the "shover." The bolder carries a stock of the counterfeit money, and the shover has one piece. This ho takes to a store or a saloon and buys something for a small } amount, and when he comes into the : street the holder sees him from his position a block away, joins him, receives the good money and hands him another counterfeit. The object is to work so that the shover, if detected, may plead innocence and prove that the piece is the only one that he has and that he has no other money. Some clever operators ; go so far as to mix good coin with the ! bad. , i To Gange Hit Wife's Temper. "I heard about a peculiar case of henpecked husband recently," said a young woman the other day. "What was it?" her friend inquired. "There is a man who..has-SomfiJUffl^. 2ulty in gauging his wife's temper. At times she is considerate of his welfare and at other times—well, he rather thlnks-that married life is a failure. "He has a peculiar manner of finding out the state of his wife's feeling toward him. In the evening when he returns home from work he never steps into the house without going through a sort of ceremony. First he throws his hat in the house, and then he seats himself on the steps and waits. If five minutes pass without the hnt being thrown out again, be enters and generally finds his wife very agreeable. However, if the' hat is thrown out again the unfortunate man seeks hos- . pirality for the night somewhere else ^rather than brave the anger of his helpmeet."— Cleveland Leader, A Pot Walloper. The parliamentary register for 1898 shbwed that there was then only one pot walloper in all England. One seeing the term IVr the first time might easily imagine tnat a pot walloper was a species of ichthyosaurus or some other reptile of a past age. It will be dlst'overed- upon Inquiry, however, that the term "pot walloper" is literally one who boils u pot and was applied to voters in certaiu boroughs of England where, before the passage of the reform bill of 1S32. the qualifications for suffrage was to have boiled (walloped) | bis own pot in the parish for six months.

Fifteen feet from the ground there are one or two birch limbs growing, and higher up are currant and raspberry bushes which bear fruit each year. It is not stated whether the sugar made from its sap has a raspberry flavor*, or the birch bark a curj rant color and taste, or the berries a spicy tang of birch. It is very old and bids fair to stand for many years longer. STATE of MICHIGAN. The Tnirty-fifth Ju uicial Circuit, in Chancery. .

Germination of a Love Affair. —BY-OUION IS WILSON-- (Copyright. 1901, by Daily Story Pub. Co.) I have just come to a knowledge of certain facts which I deem it my imperative duty to make public for two reasons—first, because they clear up the mystery of the disappearance of that great and originajl investigator, my friend, Professor X. (whose many friends will, after perusing what is here set down, easily recognize him without the mention of his name, which, made in so public a manner, would, I know, be highly offensive to him), and, second, because*I hope they will cause some other scientist of prominence to follow up the unique and, I conceive, eminently important line of investigation initiated by Professor X. I say that I have just come to a ^ knowledge of these facts. This is the exact truth, although the said facts have been in my possession for the past three months. To be plain, just before the Professor disappeared so completely I received through the mail a note from him with^a sealed en-8 closure which his note requested me to open and read three month's after ki. Sometlilag has gone wrong. It reached me. This I have just done. The enclosure I found to be the Professor's notes upon the progress of a most remarkable and unusual series of experiments founded upon the germ theory. In this connection I wish to say that while, in common with his Other friends, I of course knew of the Professor's keen interest in. this theory, I had had not the slightest hint that he had struck out. so boldly in the field of original research. So radical has been the Professor's departure in these experiments from the beaten track that I have thought It best to give an almost exact reproduction of the notes in my possession, merely editing them and eliminating. as far as possible, the phraseology of the scientist that would be in large sp *K ~ * . 7|-|i^li|]yy<i^yyi|»8 measure uiD1^t€Uigblej tp fte layman. 1 give the notes, la tns order in which they appear in the book containing them. They were evidently jotted down at different times, but none are dated, though the last was manifestly written immediately before the Professor dropped out of sight. "I am fascinated. For some time I have been studying those two strongest of human passions—love and hate —and their origin. They are Interest* lng to the investigator if for no other reason than that they set all accepted rules at defiance. Instances are plenty of the manifestation of love where the opposite should, according to the socalled laws of nature, appear. The papers recently noted that a laf ge and venomous snake had killed a setting hen and then carefully hatched and reared her chicks. The killing of their own offspring by animals of many kinds is common. Tho sentiments of parents toward their children and vice I saw J enter. versa are all too often at variance with the rule. How are these facts to be accounted for?" "As far back as we can trace, love and hate have been known by common consent as matters of the heart. Such things very often have a foundation in fact—why may not this have? And if there is any real connection, may it not, since the heart is merely the forcepump of the blood, lie In the lifefluid itself? And, this granted, might we not go a step further and imagine that there exist germs oi the two master passions?" Here follow numerous entries of so technical a nature that they are quite beyond my understanding. They are evidently notes of the succeeding steps in a very lengthy series of experiments. However interesting they may prove hereafter to a scientist, they need not be inserted here. The latter notes, however, tell of a successful outcome. "I verily believe that I have at last succeeded in isolating the germs of love and hate!" Then is set forth at length the scientific descriptions of these germs, the number of which present in any case, according to the Professor, governs the degree of the sentiment. The notes continue: "Given a culture of the germ of love In the blood of one animal and another animal inoculated with that culture, the animal so inoculated will love the one whose blood furnished the culture medium. The same Is true of the germ of hate. I believe that I have eliminated every possibility of error, but I shall, of course, put my conclusions to further tests." "A cat in a cage at my elbow is nursing carefully a litter of tiny mice, orphaned by tabby herself. She ate their mother. I have a hawk rearing a brood of chickens. Her motherly affection for them is touching and pronounced. Two dogs, brothers and hitherto the best of friends and merriest of playmates, have, in the past few days, become the bitterest of snarling, snapping enemies. Certainly there seems no doubt of the effectiveness of either serum as applied to animals. How would It affect the human beings?" "The last lingering doubt is removed! Circumstances made it possible for me t o secure a small quantity of the blood of Miss M. (in this, as in all other instances, the names are suppressed for reasons even more obvious than in the case of the Professor himself) in which I made a culture of the microbe of love. 'With this I inoculated, myself, and now, impossible as it would seem to my friends, I find myself madly in love with her. I might counteract this by an inoculation of the opposite germ, but I cannot bring myself to do it. Evidently I am very, very much in love!" "I have made a horrjble discovery. Miss M. does not-—and says she can never—love me! Further, though she also says that she will never marry. I am convinced that J. loves her almost as madly as I do! And he has youth, wit, fortune, comeliness—every attribute that could attract a w o m a n - while I" "Why should I hesitate?

I*anc« Boat* of the tiarnu Army Cause Snsp'elon. At least a real use has been discovered for the ianccs carried by the European cavalry. In America we don't attach much importance to lances, but in England in the early stages of the war in the Transvaal much was heard of Boers being "spitted" on English lances. In the German army, however, a scheme has been devised by which the lances of the cavalry form a framework for boats. This is such an advanced step that the English arc watching closely to see what success attends it. Twelve to sixteen lances and a few cross sticks form the framework for these lance boats, and besides the oars, which are made of a lance and a canvas blade, the only other essential part of the boat is the waterproof covering. It takes' only **ve minutes for the troopers to tie th.3 frame work together and two minute more to fasten on the cover. Then the boat is ready for launching. Sometimes to insure stability the two boats are fastened together like a catamaran. -When these boats are packed up one horse can easily carry two of them.

The orchard disease caused by the fungus Sphsvropsis malonim is very common In the state of Now York. It lias boon known to scientllic investigators for only1 a few years, and thoujjfli noticeable In many orchards its effects have been ascribed by practical men to sun scald, frost injuries or varietal weakness rather than to a specific disease. The Geneva (X. Y.) station says, however, that the blackened, eilarged uas ueeu uesuoyeu ure round in iniay localities aud on luany varieties. The same germ causes a tNvTg Tillglit often found In orchards showing little or no sign of the canker form and also produces black rot of the fruit. It has been known that fungi very similar to this one work on other .trees am! shrubs. Tests mady iu U)00 prove that this same species of fungus occurs on apple trees, pear trees and hawthorn trees aud on apple, pear and quluce fruits. To cause the destructive cankers which girdle the limbs the germs of the disease must get through the tough outer layer of the bark' into the growing layer beneath, the cambium. An Injury to the bark of some sort Is necessary tothis entrance, for the fungous threads cannot penetrate the unbroken bark. Suu scald as well as mechanical abrasions may cause such injuries. The bark is killed by the sun and frost and cracks or peels, -when the germ finds ready entrance «,nd rapidly extends the injured area in canker form. Sun scald_pr sunburn Is a common trouble In this state, probably more common than generally supposed, especially on tender varieties. The long areas of reddish bark on the south and southwest sides of limbs and young trunks are inconspicuous when they first are scald*<l aud so escape notice, but they are all too common and may become the seat of serious harm to the trees. Trees of tender varieties should be protected from the direct rays of the sun by training them to low, thick heads which shade both trunks and branches. . Additional protection may be given by a coat of whitewash upon the trunks, which helps to prevent absorption of the sun's rays and also exerts a favorable influence upon the bark: itself,..... A_goqd mixture Is: Lime (unslaked) 30 Tallow .., i Bait 5 Dilute with water enough to make It spray easily. .In-addition to the protection from sun scald thorough spraying with bordeaux mixture and care to prevent occidental injuries make up the preventive treatment. The larger diseased limbs may be saved from complete loss by cutting them off back of the cankered area and inserting clous of the same variety. Only a few specimens showing effects of this trouble have been found in America, some coming from Nova Scotia and a few from Cortland county in this state. The cankers are unlike those of the spbreropsis and are caused by a different fuHgus. Nectria ditlssima. They are well represented by the "in spraying experiments the same year tbe bfcst returta were obtalue4 iwlth the ammc^lwar^ttrboiiatfr^f-cop*-- E»er. This fungicide Dot only kept att be tealthy and new leaves free; from he fungus, but the plants grew better ' ,than with any other treatment employed. i Bordeaux mixture gave results that [were in every way satisfactory except jthat the plants were somewhat retardled In their growth. This Is of course a serious objection to the use of this fungicide, but It is not probable that the dwarfing of the plants would have been eo great if the sprayings had been less frequent, and It Is possible that the results In controlling the disease would have been just as satisfactory. • While shading Is of considerable advantage to the plants, It does not prevent the attacks antl development of the blight fungus. It Is an interesting •tjuestlou in this connection to know, what resr.lts could be obtained by a combination of shading and spraying. It is. not probable that there Is danger- Xif-flpjjiyin.s too early, and it Is importaut to U^ep^the leaves free rrom fi'.ngv.s, which can only be done by spraying before they are attacked.

'On motion of Mr. Avery the communication was accepted and Mr. Dodds given full rights on the board. On motion of Mr. Burden Mr. E. J. Sheridan was elected temporary chairman. Mr. W. H. S. Wood presented the following resolutions, which were unanimously adopted, viz: Whereas, The sudden death in a foreign land of i liazen 8. Pingree, former governor of Michigan and mayor of Detroit, shocks the whole land and hie loss is a calamity at this time when his giant mind wa9 burning with new and great ideas for the benefit of mankind, and Whereas. The life of this great man has given to the service of his country and hie people examples of bravery, fortitude, self-sacrifice and pertinacity in the best and highest public service for the public good illustrating the axiom that "he serves his party best who serves the people beet." and Whereas, Hazen S. Pingree served his country faithfully, in war and peace, as a private soldier in the great civil conflict, and as war governor in the late struggle of nations, his example as a business man or in public life, especially in relation to his advocacy of equal taxation and opposition to corporate domination being worthy of rtndy and Imitation. Therefore be it Resolved, That we aa tax agents of the state and assessing officers of our townships realize the great need of his services, the great good he accomplished in endeavoring to secure tax reform, and the necessity of continuing the struggle for justice to all, equal and exact, in the distribution of public burdens, and that in recognition of this we order this resolution spread upon the minutes as a token of our regard and sorrow at his loss, and that the clerk be directed to send a copy thereof under his seal to the afflicted family as a token of the wide-spread sympathy now their due, universally granted by all the people who recognized in him a true friend, a wise counselor and a manly man. Resolved, That the clerk furnish copies of this resolution to the Detroit papers also. Recese until 1:30 o'clock. Afternoon Session.

Thet 1« Not of Good Import—ProT* ( mtits XXV: 9. (Copyright, MOU Louis Klopsch, N. Y.) i Washington, July 28.--A practical {question which 1B asked In most * houses, and for many years, Is here asked by Dr. Talmage and answered; •text, Proverbs xxv, 9, "Discover not a 'secret to another." J It appears that In Solomon's time, as* In all subsequent periods of the world, there were people too much disposed to tell all they knew. It was *lab, blab, blab; physicians revealing 1the case of their patients, lawyers exposing the private affairs of their clients, neighbors advertising the faults •of the next door resident, pretended friends betraying confidences. i \ One-half of tTfetrbuDleoreTeiy^TOmmunity comes from the fact that so many people have not the capacity to 'keep their mouths shut. When I hear •something disparaging of you, my first duty is not to tell you, but if I tell you what somebody has said against you and then go out and tell everybody else what I told you, and they go out and tell others what I told them that I told you, and we all go out, some to hunt up the originator of the story and others to hunt it down, we shall get the whole community talking about what ycu did not do, and there will be as many scalps taken as though a band of Modocs had swept upon a jhelpless village. We have two ears, but only one tongue, a physiological —suggestion that—wo ought to—hear_jL Wood deal more than we tell. Let. us Jjoin a conspiracy that we will tell each ''other all the good and nothing of the fill, and then there will not be such 'awful need of sermons on Solomon's jwords, "Discover not a secret to an- < J o t h e i \ ~ ~ ~ , Solomon had a very large domestic •Jclrcle. In his earlier days he had very •Iconfused notions about monogamy and •polygamy, and his multitudinous associates in the matrimonial state kept him too well informed as to what was going on in Jerusalem. They gathered up all the privacies and poured them Into his ear, and his family became a • sorosis or female debating society of 700, discussing day after day all the • difficulties between husbands and wives, between employers and employes, between rulers and subjects, until Solomon, in my text, deplores volubility about affairs that do not belong to us and extols the virtue of secret! veness.' Ontbrenehtafft of Sympathy. You sometimes see a man with no 'Outbranchings of sympathy. His nature is cold and hard, like a ship's mast ice glaced, which the most agile ;4aaik)r could never climb. Others have 'a thousand roots and a thousand f ibranches. Innumerable tendrils climb ittheir hearts and blossom all the way jjup, and the fowls of heaven sing in the ^branches. In consequence of this ten- • dency we flhd men coming together in " tribes, in communities, in churches, in societies. Some gather together to culjtlvate the arts, some to plan for the —welfare of the stale, bunie to dincuaq religious themes, some to kindle their mirth, some to advance their craft. So every active community is divided into associations of artiBts, of merchants, of bookbinders, of carpenters, of masons, of plasterers, of shipwrights, of plumbers. Do you cry out iagainst it? Then you cry out against «a tendency divinely implanted. Your •tirades wduld accomplish no more than ?if you should preach to a busy ant Itiill a long sermon against secret societies. i Here we find the oft discussed question whether associations that do their iwork with closed doors and admit their members by passwords and greet each •other with a secret grip are right or [wrong. I answer that it depends entirely on the nature of the object for which they meet. Is it to pass the ftours in revelry, wassail, blasphemy •and obscene talk or to plot trouble to 'the state or to debauch the innocent, 1then I say, with an emphasis that no man can mistake. No! But is the object the defense of the rights of any class against oppression, the improvement of the mind, the enlargement of ]the heart, the advancement of art, the •defense of the government, the extir- \patlon of crime or the kindling of a jpure hearted sociality, then I say, with JJust as much emphasis, Yes! j Secret SocUHe*. ', There are secret societies in our colleges that have letters of the Greek alphabet for their nomenclature, and •fthetr members are at the very front in •scholarship and Irreproachable in mortals, while there are others the scene »ot-carousal, and they gamble, and they jdrink, and they graduate knowing a {hundred times more about sin than /tatty do of geometry and Sophocles, Jn other words, secret societies, like Individuals, Are good or bad, arc the means of moral health or of temporal and eternal damnation. All good people recognize the vice of slandering an individual, but many do not see the sin. of slandering an organization. There are old secret societies in this and other countries, some of them centuries old, which have been widely denounced as immoral and damaging in their influence, yet I have hundreds of personal friends who belong to them —friends who are consecrated to God, pillars in the church, faithful in all relations of life, examples of virtue and piety. They are the kind of friends whom I would have for my executors at the time of decease, and they are the men whom X would have carry me out to the last sleep when I am dead. You cannot make me believe that they would belong to bad institutions. They are the men who would stamp on anything iniquitous, and I would certainly rather lake their testimony in regard to such societies than the testimony of those who, having been sworn in as members, by their assault upon them confess themselves perjurers. One of these secret societies gave for the relief of the sick in 1S73 in this country, $1,490,274. Some of these societies have poured a very heaven of sunshine and benediction into the home of suffering. Several of them are founded on fidelity to good citizenship and the Bible. I have never taken one of their degrees. They might give me the grip a thousand times and I would not recognize it. I am ignorant of their passwords, and I must judge entirely from the outside. But Christ has given us a rule by which we may judge not only all individuals, but all societies, secret and open. "By their fruits ye shall know them." Bad societies make bad men. Good socleties make good men. A bad man will not stay in a good society. A good man will not stay in a bad society. I1,1 1.IWIIW Then try all secret societies by two or three rules. Influence en Home L.fe. Test the first: Their influence on home, if you have a home. That wife soon loses her influence over her husband who nervously and foolishly looks upon all evening absence as an assault on domesticity. How are the great enterprises of reform and art and literature and beneficence and public weal to be carried on if every man is to have his world bounded on one side by his front doorstep and on the other side by his back window, knowing nothing higher than his own attic or lower than his own cellar? That wife who becomes jealous of her husband's attention to art or literature or religion or charity is breaking her own scepter of conjugal power. I know an instance where a wife thought that her husband was giving too many nights to Christian service, to charitable service, to prayer meetings and to religious convocation. She systematically decoyed him away until now he attends no church, watts upon no charitable institution and is on a rapid way to destruction, his morals gone, his money gone and, I fear, his soul gone. Let any Christian wife rejoice when her husband consecrates evenings to the service of humanity and of God or anything elevating, but let no man sacrifice home life to secret society life, as many do. I can_point out to you a great many names of men who> are guilty of this sacrilege. They are as genial aa angels at the society room and as ugly as sin at homo. They are genereous on all subjects of wine suppers, yachts and fast horses, but they are stingy about the wives' dresses and the children's shoes. That man has made that which might be a healthful Influence a usurper of his affection and he has married it, and he is guilty of moral bigamy. Under this process his wife, whatever her features, becomes uninteresting and homely. He becomes critical of her, does not like the dress, does not like the way she arranges her hair, is amazed that he ever was so unromantic as to offer her hand and heart. There are secret societies wnere membership always involves domestic shipwreck. Tell me that a man has joined a certain kind and tell me nothing more about him for ten years, and I will write his history if ne be still alive. The man is a wine guzzler, his wife broken hearted or prematurely old, his fortune gone and his home a mere name in the directory. Erlle or Bed Aeeeeleftleoe. The doctor coming in will at a glance see it is not only present disease he must fight, but years of fast living. The clergyman, for the sake of the feelings of the family on the funeral day will only talk in religoua generalities. The men who got his yacht in the eternal rapids will not be at the obsequies. They have pressing engagements that day. They will send flowers to the coffin, will send their wives to utter words of sympathy, but they will have engagements elsewhere. They never come. Bring me mallet and chisel, and I wi?l cut that man's epitaph, 'Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord?" "No," you say *that would not be appropriate.* "Let me die the death of the righteous, and let my last end be like his?" "No," you say, "that would not be appropriate.' Then give me the mallet and the chise and I will cut an honest epitaph, ."Her, lies the victim of dissipating associa tions!" Another test by which you can fin< whether your secret society Is right oi wrong Is the effect it has on your secu lar occupation. I can understand ho* through such an institution a man cat reach commercial success. I kno* some men have formed their best business relations through such a channel If the secret society has advantaged you in an honorable calHng.lt Is a good one, but has your credit failed? Ar< bargain makers now more anxious how they trust you with a bale oi goods? Have the men whose namei were down in the commercial agency Al before they entered the society been going down since in commercial standing? Then look cut. You and I every day know of commercial establishments going to ruin through the social excesses of one or two members, their fortune beaten to death wirh ball players' bat or cut amidships with the front prow of the regatta or going down under the swift hoofs of the fast horses or drowned in the large potations of cognac or Monongahela. That secret society was the Loch Earn. Their business was the Ville de Havre. They struck, and the Ville de Havre went under! tu tho Lust Iloarg. Which would you rather have In your hand when you come to die, a pack of cards or a Bible?

Whom would you rather have for you,r pallbearers, the elders of a Christian church or the companions whose conversation was full of slang and innuendo? Whom WOuTdT you father have^^ for-yoTrr eternal companions, those men who spend their evenings betting, gambling, swearing, carousing and telling vile stories or your little child, that bright girl whom the Lord took? Oh, you would not have been away so many nights, would you, if you had known she was going away so soon? Dear me, your house has never been the same place since. Your wife has never brightened up. She has never got over it. She never will get over it. How long the evenings are with no one to put to bed and no one to whom to tell the beautiful Bible stories! What a pity it is that you cannot spend more evenings at home in trying to help her bear that sorrow! You can never drown that grief in the wine cup. You can never break away from the little arms that used to be flung around your neck when she used to say, "Papa, do stay with me tonight, do stay with me tonight!" You will never be able to wipe away from your lips the dying kiss of your little girl. The fascination of a bad secret society is so great that sometimes a man has turned his back on his home when his child was dying of scarlet fever. He went away. Before he got back at midnight the eyes had been closed, the undertaker had done his work, and the wife, worn out with three weeks' watching, lay unconscious in the next room. Then the returned father comes- up stairs, and sees the cradle gone, and he says, "What is the matter?" On the judgment day he will find out what was the matter. _ • —©h7"man astray, God lielp ^y<m\—T am going to make a very stout rope.

And I am going to take some very small delicate threads and wind them together until they make a very stout rope. I will take all" the memories of the marriage day—a thread of laughter, a thread of Tight, a thread of music, a thread of banqueting, a thread of congratulation— and I twist them together, and I have one strand. Then I take a thread of the hour of the first advent in your house, a thread of the darkness that preceded, and a thread of the beautiful scarf that little child used to wear when she bounded out at eventide to greet you, and a thread of the beautiful dress in which you laid her away for the resurrection, and then I twist all these threads together, and I have another strand. Then I take a thread of the scarlet robe of a suffering Christ, and a thread of the white raiment of your loved ones before the throne, and a string of the harp cherubic, and a string of the harp seraphic, and I twist them all together, and I have a third strand. "Oh," you say, "either strand is enough to hold fast a world!" No, I will take these strands and I will twist them together, and one end of that rope I will fasten, not to the communion table, for it shall be removed; not to a pillar of the organ, for that will crumble in the ages; but I wind it round and round the cross of a sympathizing Christ, and, having fastened one end of the rope to the cross, I throw the other end to you.

If l * k a Sqjperltr ffti Oeveved with Petroleum end the OU Set on 1*1 re ,,. it TCoeld Teke a Uoo4 Teie<eoee to See the D * * * Sir Robert S. Ball, the Cambrldgs astronomer, writes to the London Express: It was the remark of the great Sir William Herschel that the resemblance of Mars to this earth Is one of the most striking features in the solar system. The observations of the planet which have been made since the time of this incomparable observer have tended to Illustrate the truth which he then laid down. Mars U not so large as our earth, of course, but, like our earth, Mars is surrounded by an atmosphere. At the poles of Mars are vast white tracts which becoms greatly extended during winter on the planet, but which shrink again during the ensuing summer. To deny that these white tracts on Mars consist of ice or snow now seems to me a supposition so fantastic that I think wo need not seriously diccuss it. It ha3 been proved by recent observation that the large dark objects on Mari long believed to be open oceans can nojen^er be so described. By the excellent telescopes now available, thesa dark tracts have been shown to be traversed by marks of a nature s'o permanent as to be» wholly incompatible with the supposition that in looking at the dark regions we are looking at sheets of liquid. For the demonstration of this point we are indebted to the labors of many astronomers, but we must specially mention Mr. Perclval Lowell, who has devoted consummate sTfllTalfd""BWdTrtty-^ planet. With the help of a powerful telescope at his. observatory in Flagstaff, Arizona, Mr. Lowell ha3 also largely extended our knowledge of the canals discovered many years ago by Schiaparelli. Mr. Lowell has given U3 some excellent reasons for his belief that these so-called canals do Indeed mark the courses along which.water is conducted from the melting snows at* the poles of Mars to the more arid parts of the planet. When, upon certain occasions, which do not recur very frequently, Mars comes nearest the earth, the distance of the planet from our globe is still about thirty-five million miles. Now what can a telescope show at the distance of thirtyfive million miles? It requires a very good telescope to reduce the apparent distance of an object to a thousandth part. Tfcaf is to say, it is a very good telescope which will show an object as clearly as we could see ft with the unaided eye if it were at a thousandth part of its distance, and if we dispensed with the assistance of a telescope. It is, therefore, impossible to hope for any signalling to Mars unless the signals were on a scale sufficiently great to be visible to the unaided eye even at a distance as great as thirty-five thousand miles. This consideration suffices to prove the utter futility of human endeavor to make any demonstrations on a sufficiently large scale to be perceptible to the inhabitants of Mars. The very largest city that this earth has ever known would be altogether too small .1 'I "..If IK ,.;: DANP ED INTO CDLOH1E* . ^ , • ; • ' • : * : < to be visible, to a being dwelling on the planet Mars, even if that being were endeavoring to see it with a tel'e^ scope as powerful as the greatest and most perfect instrument in any observatory on this globe. If the whole extent of Lake Superior was covered with petroleum, and if that petroleum was set on fire, then T think we may admit that an inhabitant of Mars who wlas furnished with a telescope as good as that which Mr. Perclval Lowell uses at Flagstaff might be able to see that something had happened'. But we must not suppose that the mighty conflagration would appear to Hve Martian as a very conspicuous object.. It would rather be a very small feature, but still I think it would not be beyond the reach of a practiced observer in that planet. On the' other hand, if an area the size of Lake Superior on Mars was to be flooded with petroleum and that petroleum was to be Wndled, we should expect to witness the event from here not as a great and striking conflagration, but as a tiny little point of just discernible light. The disc of Mars io not a large object, and the conflagration would net extend over the three-hundredth part of that disc. It Is sufficient to state these facts to show that the possibility of signalling to Mars is entirely beyond tho power of human resources. . »»P*H«oen« I t t em 1st . 'VeW .

By SYLVANUS COBB. JR. \ I CHAPTER IV.—(Continued.) • Judah got down from the back of nil horse, and having thrown the rein jOYfij the branch of a tree, he ttarted after the vclunteer guide. Halt a mile distant, at the edge of a thick piece of wood, the Israelite, was Informed that he must submit to be hoodwinked. He made no objections, and the robber proceeded to bind a sash over his eyes, after which he was led some distance further, by a winding, tortuous way-, and when the bandage was removed, he found himself in a low .vale, beneath a roof of thick foliage, and la the presence of a hundred armed men. One man—a handsome, noblelooking youth—arose and approached him, to whom his guide reported what -had transpired.— — "Do yon seek Julian'?" asked the stately youth, looking upon the Israelite with a -searching glance. "Yes, sir,*' replied Judah, as frankly and calmly as though he had besu answering one of his own brethren. "I am Julian," said the chieftain, quietly. ' "Then, Brr."" Teturned the newcomer, with a low bow, "to you I present my petition.'" "First,—who are you?" "My name is Judah, and I have been a servant in the train of the king of Damascus." "Ah,—is it 130?" The chieftain may have looked a little more sharply into the man's face, but he bstrayed no sur- -prise.- "you spoke of a petition. What Is it?" Judah removed his mantle, and then stripped off his tunic, thus baring his back to the gaze of those who stood around. "Do you see that back?" he cried, quivering, and grinding his teeth. "Do 5*ou see where the cruel lash has eaten into my flesh? Horam, king of Dimascus,. put that stain upon me. Do you wish me to say more?" "L think you would be revengad upon the king?" said Julian. "I would be placed in the very front of that force which is to strike at Horam, or at anything belonging to him. I am not of Damascus born, and my love is not there. I would join my fortunes with those of Julian." After a very short conference with some of his companions, the chieftain informed Judah that he might remain where he was; and that, if he proved himself worthy, he would be received Into full fellowship. The Israelite expressed himself as thankful for the favor thus conferred and was soOn allowed to mingle with the members of the band. For two days he ate with them, and Joined them in their sports; and during that time he knew that watchful eyes were upon him. But he was equal to the task, and on the third day he was counted as one of them. On the fourth day one of the sentinels brought a black man into the camp, who gave his nams as Osmer, and who said that he had escaped from a tyrannical master in Aleppo. And he -furthermore-said that he-had-a-companion who was hiding somewhere in the forest. Before noon said companion made his appearance, announcing his name as Selini; and when the two had been questioned, their stories were so harmonious, and so frank, that they were suffered to remain; and finally 'they were allowed to perform the duties of body-servant to the chieftain. Judah could have asked for nothing better thus far; and he was resolved that his further plans should be carefully and surely laid. Ah! Julian little dreamed of the danger that was creeping upon him! and it was probable that they bore wealth for Horam. Just as the sun was rising, while Judah was in the wood after his horse, he was accosted by Osmir, who had been out on an errand for the chieftain.. "Ah, my master," said the black, gazing carefully around to see that he was not observed; "I am glad that I have met you. I have been wondering whether you meant to carry out the plan which brought us here.1' "Why have you wondered at such a thing?" asked Judah. ' "Because," replied Osmir, "I have made up my mind that if the choice of masters were left to me I should [ choose to serve Julian rather than the king of Damascus. I like him much the best. He is not such a terrible man as he has been represented. He Is a kind, generous man, and I blame him not for his hatred of Horam," "Well, sir," said the Israelite, speaking quickly and sternly, "do you think of turning your face from the work we have to do?" "No, no, my p master. I am not so determined, I shall follow you. Your commands must be my law. If you say proceed I am with you." "And how is it with Selim?" "You have nothing to fear, my master, from him. The two men whom you selected to accompany you will not betray you. Selim thinks of this robber chieftain as I do; but he is bound to-hisduty^and-will-perform-4t CHAPTER V. Caged. The circumstances which might have led another to hasten his operations, led the Israelite to greater care and reflection. He had not supposed that Julian would take the two blaek men to service so near his own person, and when he found that such arrangement had been made, his, first inclination was to hesitate least a suspicion of the ' slaves' honesty had led the chieftain to place them thus near him. However, after the lapse of a few days, Judah was satisfied that no suspicion, was entertained against himself or his companions, and he began to turn his attention to the work he had in hand. On the morning of the fourth day Julian announced his intention of moving, and gave orders that his men should be in readiness. A spy had arrived during the night- with intelligence that a large caravan was on its war from Tyre to Damascus, and the chieftain had determined to intercept It Soma wealthy merchants from ROOM wart U the approaching train, Judah knew the characters and dispositions of the two and he felt no uneasiness. "My good. Osmir," he said, with a smile, "concerning this Scourge ot Damascus I feel much as you feel. I have long known that he was a noble, true-hearted man. But he is an enemy cf our king, and we have promised to capture him. Just think, for a moment, what must be the result if we take him, and convey him in safety to Damascus. Think what people will say of Osmir and Selim. Now the merchants of Damascus are in fear and trembling on account of this terrible Scourge, and the king sits uneasily upon his throne; but if we arrest the dreaded chieftain, and deliver him up, the merchants will rejoice, and the king will be grateful. And upon whom shall their thanks and their honors fall?" This speech pleased Osmir, and fired him.up to new zeal in the work he had undertaken. Judah moved out from the cover to observe if any one was approaching, and when he was satisfied that he was still safe, he returned and gave Osmir such instructions as he deemed necessavy. He was careful that all should be understood, and that each projected movement should be so arranged that there could be no possible clashing. He knew the wit and temper of his associates, and he had no fear that they would disappoint him by any blunder hr mistake. "And now," said the Israelite, after his directions had been given, "if we itrc at'trti -farvored- by ?ortrrne~^'e-shaJ'i most surely succeed. Thus far fortune has been upon our side. Your position near the person of Julian is most favorable. Impart our arrangements carefully to Selim, and await my further signal." Osmir promised obedience, and the two men separated, Judah going in search of his horse, while Osmir proceeded directly to the camp, where, having delivered a message to the chieftain, he sought Selim, and in a little while the two were In secret consultation. Toward the middle of the forenoon the robber train was in motion, and when it came night they camped in an cpen wood, between two hills, near to the road which led from Caesarea Phllippi to Damascus; and here they were to remain until the expected caravan made its appearance. Sometimes' Julian took his tent with him when leading his band upon long expeditions, but on the present occasion he had left it behind, choosing that the place of his encampment should be as little noticeable as possible. After he had seen his sentinels all posted, and given such directions as he thought* necessary, he sought a place of rest beneath a large tree, where he soon sank into a dreamy slumber. It jiust have been near midnight when he was aroused by some one moving near him, and on starting up he was addressed by Osmir: "My master, I have a strange message for you." The chieftain arose to a sitting posture. "Is this Osmir?" "Yea." "From whom brim you a message?" Are Yon Uiln* AUen't Foot*£»Mf It is the only cure for Swollen.

As I walked forth a short time iftoee, a sentinel informed me that some oae outside of the camp wished to speak with me, I went to the spot designated, and there found a young bond-maiden of Damascus. Her name was Albia," "Albia!" cried Julian, storting to his feet. "Why, such was the name of the maiden who attended upon tho princess Ulln." "Aye, my lord, she is the same." "What? Do you mean that the bondmaiden of Ulin is at our camp?" ••She is." "What is her business?" "She wishes to speak with Julian." "But her business-*-of what does she wish to speak?" "She did not tell me, my lord. She would only say that she was the bondmaiden of Ulin, and she desired to see you. I knew her not; but she seemed so gentle, and so timid, and used your name so eloquently, that I could not doubt her. I think her story is true. I think she is what she represents herself to be." "Did she not tell you from whom she came?-- "No, unless her announcement that she was the bondmaiden of the princess Ulin may be taken In answer to the Query." "By the lyre of Apollo, she must have come from her mistress," exclaimed the chieftain, warmly. "The princess may be in trouble. She may need stout arms to help her. Lead me to this bondmaiden at once." "She begged, my lord, that she might not be exposed." "Lead on. I will see her." The great road wound around the foot of the hill, and ere long the guard had reached a point so utterly shut off from the camp that his loudest cry could not have been heard by the robber sentinels. —iiI«-4h^--g4rl-h«re*1'-a«k^d-J^Uau^as. his sable guide stopped and turned. "She must be very near here, my lord. I left her upon this very spot." The chieftain heard a slight rustling behind him; but, not being startled into quick action, before he could turn he received a blow upon the side of the head that felled him to the earth. He was for the moment Stunned, and before his reason was clear enough to direct his movements, he was set upon by three stout men, who bound his arms and legs so quickly that his power of resistance was gone before, he fairly knew what opposed him. "Sir Robber," spoke the Israelite bending over the prostrate chieftain, "you are my prisoner, and henceforth you are in my keeping until I deliver you up to my master. You cannot escape me, so do not trouble yourself with the attempt." "You are Judah," said the chieftain. "I am." "And these others are professed to be of Aleppo?" "Yes." "And you three serve the king of Damascus?" "Yen have guessed the truth." "By the gods," muttered Julian, as though communing with himsvlf, "I should have guessed this before. I have been blind. I have acted lil*>. a child. But I am not yel quite lost. I am still within the—' The Israelite had been watching him narrowly, and when he saw that the chieftain had a disposition to call for help, he sprang upQn_hlm-iind-stopp&d-f his mouth. "Do not blame yourself, Sir Robber. Judah of Damascus has done more difficult work than this; and you may take to yourself the assurance that when he set out upon his mission the deed was sure of its accomplishment. Ah, here comes Selim with the horses. You shall have an easy ride and a quick one; and when you are in the presence of the king you can plead your case as eloquently as you please, I have not time to listen; nor have I the power to judge." The Scourge of Damascus, in the full vigor of robust manhood, and possessed of a strength and daring beyond any of his stalwart followers, was a prisoner in the hands of three slaves—a prisoner within sound of his own camp—and so surely a prisoner that he had no way of escape. His steel-wrought muscles were powerless beneath the cruel bonds, and his mouth was stopped .from the utterance of .alarm. He was lifted from the ground and placed upon the back ol a powerful horse, and in a few moments more he was being borne swiftlj away from his friends and companions— away towards the city where dwelt his deadliest enemies.

The Staatsrath in Christiania has ruled t h a t the use of the word shall henceforth not be obligatory upon the bride, but "facultative" T h a t is to say, the bride is to be free either to say that she will be "faithful and obedient," or simply to say that she will be "faithful."

The orchards of the Sacramento and San Joaquin valleys blossom some months before the southern sage brush. The bee-farmer, t h e r e - fore, carts his bees about from place to place as the seasons advance, and thus, by keeping them busy nine months of the year, gets three crops of honey. The difficulty of moving bees during the active season is overcome by traveling a t night. As t h e bees help to pollenize the flowers and thus produce superior fruit, the owners ef t h e orchards regard them with favor. In results the plan is even better t h a n t h a t of the enterprising farmer who crossed his bees with fireflies so t h a t they could work nights. Shot Hi*. Wife.

From $224,704 in 1S1K1 the allowances of the board of state auditors have increased to $4O7.S10 in the fiscal y e a r which closed J u n e ;!0.

For the previous fiscal y e a r the allowances were $4oS,7S7 and for the year ISOD, $:^..707.

Count Okuma, in an address which formed a p a r t of the dedicatory exercises, expressed social and educational views which could not be surpassed for liberality by the leaders of thought in our own country or England. " W h e n o u r women are educated," he said, "our nation will he twice as strong as It is now. The countries which have tried t o get along with a standard which applies only to the education of men have fallen conspicuously behind in the race of h u m a n progress." As illustrations he named Egypt, Turkey, Persia and China, The count admitted t h a t society in J a p a n was disfigured by many abuses.

"Come to think of it," said George Peterson to Will Garrison, as the two stood, chatting on the highway, "I beard that you said that one of us was a-goln' to git a bullet-hole in him * afore long?" "Well, now," returned Will thoughtfully, screwing his left eye and digging at his scalp, "hit comes to me thet I hed jest about sich talk." "You think we ought to shoot over Tillie Adams, eh?" "I don't see thet we cud choot over - ennythlng more Important; do you? I shot ole Jim Stacy over a hog last summer, an' by gum, in my estimation, Tillle Adams is wuth a whole drove o' hogs." "That 1B all true," admitted George; "hogs ain't to be mentioned in the same breath with TUlle—no man gits ahead o' me in appreciating her worth —but the question is one o' policy an' good jegment—ort we to kill each other over her?" "Now, that is a matter to seriously both live, an' one gits ben totter wad ruther be 4ead, WlUi on* dead,.he'» M everlasting peace, anV th« othec is happy with TUIieT Now, what1 do you •ay?"

"I kin jlst see Tillle, her booUful face, like er dew-wet rose, hanging over me right now'" "Hush! Go ter drawin' a plcter .like that, an' I'll commit suicide to git to be the one to git hung over." The two men laughed merrily, while at the same time they were unjointing the "pops," casting out old hulls and putting new cartridges Into the cylinders. "How far off had we better get?" asked George. "Oh, we-e-11, say—well—one hundred yards—and step forward ten steps at each fire." "That's good—say, who's them comin' in that buggy?" "Burned ef I don't believe It's Bill Tom Branner an' Tillie." "That's jest who they is, by gum!" An old topless buggy, drawn by a thin, bay horse rattled up. The occupants, coming opposite, inclined their heads gently, smiled pleasantly and passed on, a foam of dust rising in their wake. ' ' . "She smiled at me, George." "She smiled at me, Bill." "Say, Bill," laughed George. "Wouldn't it be a good 'un on us if Tillie loved that dog dratted rascal with her better than she do either of us?" "Huh! An' him with nuthin' but an' edication, an' not a hoss to his name! That's 'bout as redickilus as one of us bein' loved by a president's darter." "Oh, I wuz jest funning, of co'se, but, come to think, I've hcarn o' things jest as onreasonable. Ye see, Tillie has been down to the Bluegrass goin' to school for a year or so, an' thar's no tellin' what sich fool doin's as that will lead a gal to. They are curious critters at the best—gals is.

Quietly the young gallants- worked toward each other, and, before the silent company knew they had met, or knew they had occasion for quarrel, a rapid fire of denunciation began between them. ••You did step on my foot!" vociferated George. "You are a liar" shouted Bill. ^ "Boys, don't shoot, for Lord's sake!" shouted a score in concert The hitherto passive throng, was now in rolling, surging motion. The timid fell to the rear, and the bold toiled madly toward the danger-swirl L Spang! chaw on, I admit That we both love the gal more nor an ox team cud pull ef they had a down bill shoot on it, is certain. That both wud fling our Uvea, as worthless rags, at her feet, 1s ekally shore; but as to whether we'd be doin' the proper thing to do it is a matter to chaw on. But the matter must be settled some way. I believe the one she loves best orter have her, but she won't say. I believe I'm the one." "An* I, feet shore I'm the one."

The men stepped out, took places and confronted each other. They were to count three in concert, then tire. "One, two, three!,,r "Spang!" A ball passed through a lock of hair above Bill's left ear. He hadn't fired, and for good reason. When he went to cock his revolver the main spring had broken. He had pointed the weapon nevertheless, taking the risk of being killed rather than to explain an accident that George might regard a purposed act to avoid the duel. "We'll have to adjourn this case," sighed George, "until you kin git yer own pop." "Say, George," returned Bill, handing George the crippled weapon. "I've jest thought we kin settle this matter more satisfactory. Tillie, as well as she appears to love both, mout refuse ter marry the one that kills tother about her. Then we'd be in a nice shape—on© dead and tother wusser. Less fine out which one she really loves best; then let that lucky one give tother all his property to console him a little, and take her." "That'll be satisfactory to me—if we kin git a bill o' discovery, as the lawyers say, that will wuk." "Well, I think I've got it. Termorry at church me an' you will let on like we git in a fuss, an' pull our pops. Everybody will be excited; the wlmmen will yell, an' pirty Tillie w411 come screamin' out to the one she loves best, an' beg him for her sake to put up his pop." "The very thing!" exclaimed George ilapplng a cloud of dust from his right. leg. • • * • • A great congregation bad gathered for Rev. Ball, the celebrated revivalist of Knott county, was to preach, and the report had drawn people as a suckhole draws chips from a broad territory. The house being filled, the grounds overflowed. Men and boys covered the turf in front and at the sides, as thickly as bees cling at the side of a gum on a hot morn of July—all ears eagerly poised. Nothing save the electric voice of the speaker, fell upon the vast quiet. y When thd preacher began to pitch his tone to the scale of concluding exhortation, Bill and George, as per previous arrangement came into the crowd from opposite directions. They were radiant in their new clothes, and their new boots announced their entrance through proud measured squeaks. Being the richest young men of the section, their appearance made heads of reverence sllentlr incline and a whis- "Boys, don't shoot, for God's sake!" The windows of the house *became mouths for rapidly expelling wads of color. The doorway was a choked channel for the emission of a feminine flood. Wild shrieks went up, and benches tumbled down. Dogs yelped, and white-faced, wild-eyed women cried: "Oh, Where's my baby?" or "Sal- He" or "Tommie," where are you?" A rolling commotion of voices on the outside finally killed all distinct expression. Bill's white-faced sister got to him, and seized him by the arm, but a big, firm hand pushed her back. The constable wedged his way to George, but he fell back limply against propping men, his face gushing blood. The justice of the peace, who commanded peace, found the peace of Bill's paralyzing fist. All was in swirling, roaring confusion when the thunderous voice of the preacher hrokfl ahova the crowd with the aweing power: "Ef ye ain't got no respect for me, an' the day, an' the I^ord, respect yer neighbors who now leave single life for the holy ways of matermony. I now peform a sarimony. Be ye silent in the face of this awful, sacred inordinance uv heaven's disposition. Jine han's Thomas Benton Brammer and Matilda Jane Susan Ann Adams!" Silence fell, and so did the spirits of Bill Garrison and George Peterson. They looked up at each other and though agony loaded their slow-chugging hearts, they smiled through sick, feeble lips as thought answered thought: "What fools us fellers be!" America's First Protestant Church, v The first Protestant church in America was made of the sails of Capt. John Smith's ship hung between the trees at Jamestown, Va. The pulpit was a stump and the congregation sat upon unhewn logs during the service until .1611, when a log cabin was erected under the direction of the governor, Sir Thomas Dale. In 1638 a brick structure fifty-six by twenty-eight fdet in dimensions, with a tower through which it was entered, eighteen feet square, -was built with the most substantial material, .as its endurance testifies. It was partially destroyed by fire in 1676, but was restored and occupied until 1723, when the capital was removed to Williamsburg.—Chicago Record-Herald. Church Yards in Bad Condition. Many of the church yards in tht Highlands are reported to be in a shocking condition. There has been a scandal in North Harris, where the sanitary authorities have had to step in and prevent the people from burying any more bodies in a small piece of ground, while the churchyard at Moraig, another small Highland place, is so full that it is described as simply mounds of human beings. The Highlanders have a great liking for laying their lost ones with those who have gone before and this accounts greatly for the over-crowding. This, ot course, applies only to the old paret chial cemeteries, as the newer ones are under government control, which stops or Is supposed to stop anything like overcrowding.

Uobert S. Fosburg was on trial for the alleged murder of bis sister, May Fosburg, at the family home in Pitt*- fteld, Mass. She was killed by a pistol shot The family claimed that burglars who broke into the house caused her death, but the chief of police of pittsftekl worked on the theory that Fosburg and bis father had a quarrel, and that May was accidentally killed while trying to make peace between tbem. No evidence had been adduced in the trial to support this theory, the family adhering to the burglar story, and their statements being unshaken by trossexaminatlon. Owing to the wealth and social standing of the Fosburgs, the case has attracted great attention. Without the knowledge of spectators and newspaper men, Charles E. Htbbard, senior counsel for the defense, moved late Thursday p. m. that Robert Fosburg be acquitted of the charge of manslaughter for which* he had been on trial for seven days. All the evidence had been put in and the court immediately adjourned, but counsel for both skies and Judge Stevens retired to the lobby, where Mr. Hibbard and District Attorney Hammond ar- £ue<l the motion.

If you're running a dairy,—be there one cow or one hundred— your profit dedends upon the quality of cream you're s?etting.v If you aren't getting all the cream there is in your milk, you're losing just that much money. By the old system of milk-betting you lose from ten to twenty per cent, of the cream, besides doing a lot of unnecssary work. Cold water is added to the warm milk and the sudden change in temperture »ud consistency causes the cream and milk to separate: and because of the cream being the lighter it is forced to the top. You get all the cream in an hour after milking, your skimmilk is sweet and clean, the cream is smooth, sweet, firm and clean, and requires less than half the time formerly required to churn it. The butter is better, sweeter, and you get from ten to twenty per cent, more of it. No pans, crocks or milk cans needed, no extra labor, no waste cream. You can wash it in two minutes and have ready for the next milking. Taking it all iu all, it saves the women's work, costs less than one.half as much as a full equipment of pans, skimmers, jars, crocks, cans, etc., besides saving enough cream in one year to pay for itself tenfold.

Smith, long connected with the Michigan Agricultural college, as director of the experiment station and superintendent of institutes, has been elected president of the New Mexico College "of Agriculture and Mechanical Arts. He has not yet decided whether he will accept. Mr. Smith will speak at the Anderson farmers'club picnic Saturday. Go and hear him. —An exchange tells of the following plan to bait game fish; "Secure a glass jar—an ordinary half-gallon fruit jar will answer the purpose— and fill it with water, putting in the jar about a doxen nice minnows. Then fasten a piece of parchment over the mouth of thejar, making a number of holes in it, and go to the spot where you desire to fish and drop the jar into the water. Tie jar should have attached 10 it a small string and float so it may be located. The game fish will fairly swarm around the minnow and it loft alone for a day or two thev will become very hungry, and the minute you drop your hook into the water with-a rownow-oa it thoy will make a rush for it." Those who are spending several days at the lake could well afford to try it. THURSDAY AUGUST 15 "Will be a Big Day In Pinckney.

Spfee* O m t Abundance; Neither • Thero Any Such Pploe M the earn of Snob* Gave King* Solomon.'' « 1 ©fcronlolee IX: 9. fOMyrlget, ISM, by Lout* Klopsch, N. 7.] Washington, Aug. 4—In this dis- Dr. Talmage corrects come of false notions about religion and It as being joy inspiring inef dolorous. Text II. Chronicles faL, 9: "Of spices great abundance; •either was there any such spice as •the queen of Sheba gave King Soloi t What is. that building out yonder ^Uttering in the sun? Have you not 4eard? It is the house of the forest tf Lebanon. King Solomon has just taken to it his bride, the princess of €5gypt You see the pillars of the portico and a great tower, adorned with ij»M shields of gold hung on the outside of the tower—500 of the shields of fold manufactured at Solomon's orler, 500 were captured by David, his father, in battle. See how they blaze in the noonday sun! Solomon goes up the ivory stairs of •is throne between twelve lions in statuary and sits down on the back •f the golden bull, the head of the huge beast turned toward the people. Fhe family and the attendants of the ting are so many that the caterers of the palace have to provide every day IM sheep and thirteen oxen, besides the birds and the venison. I hear the stamping and pawing of 4,000 fine horses in the royal stables. There were important officials who had charge of the work of gathering the straw and the barley for these horses. King Solomon was an early riser, tradition says, and used to take a ride out at daybreak, and when, in his white apparel, behind the swiftest horses of all the realm and followed by mounted archers in purple, as the cavalcade dashed through the streets of Jerusalem I suppose it was something worth getting up at 5 o'clock in the morning to look at. Seeing- tor Oneself. 'Qaeen Balkis was so pleased with ''the acuteness of Solomon that she said, T i l just go and see him for myself." Yewdea it comes—the cavalcade— horses and dromedaries, chariots and charioteers, jingling harness and clat- ' terini; hoofs and blazing shields and flying ensigns and clapping cymbals. The place is saturated with the perfume. She brings cinnamon and saf*- tron and calamus and frankincense and all manner of sweet spices. As the retinue sweeps through the gate ' the armed guard inhales the aroma. "Half!" cry the charioteers, as the wheels grind the gravel in front of the pillared portico of the king. Queen Balkis alights in an atmosphere bewitched with perfume. As the dromedaries are driven up to the king's storehouses, and the bundles of camphor are unloaded, and the sacks of < /Jnnamon and the boxes of spices are -opened, the purveyors of the palace • discover what my text announces: "Of spices, great abundance; neither was there any such spice as the queen of • Sheba gave to King Solomon." NWelL my friends, you know that all theologians agree in making Solomon a type of Christ and in making the Queen of Sheba a type of every truth aeeker, and I will take the responsibility of saying that all the 9piksnard and cassia and frankincense which the queen of Sheba brought to King Soloxnon are mightily suggestive of the sweet spices of our holy religion. Christianity is not a collection of : sharp technicalities and angular facts and chronological tables and dry statistics. Our religion is compared to frankincense and to cassia, but never to nightshade. It Is a bundle of myrrh. It is a dash of holy light. It is a -sparkle of cool fountains. It is an opening of opaline gates. It Is a collection of spices. Would God that we were as wise In taking spices to our Divine King as Queen Balkis was wise in taking the spices to the earthly Solomon. Christ Bring-1 Chturfnlness. How any woman keeps house without the religion of Christ to help her is a mystery to me. To have to spend the greater part of one's life, as many women do, in planning for the meals .and stitching garments that will soon be rent again and deploring breakages v-and supervising tardy subordinates and driving oft dust that soon again will settle and doing the same thing day l a aad day out and year in and year out «ntjil the hair silvers and the hack stoops and the spectacles crawl to the eyes and the grave breaks open wader the thin sole of the shoe—oh, It Is a long monotony! But when Christ esvmes ts the drawing room and comes /to the kitchen and comes to the nursery and cosies to the dwelling, then how cheery become all womanly du- ' ties! She Is never alone now. Martha brother, Rachel because^s can help her father'water the stock, fhe^widow of Sarepta because the cruse of oil is being replenished. O woman, having in your pantry a nest of boxes containing all kinds of condiments, why have you not tried in your heart and llfe> the splcery of our holy religion? "Martha, Martha, thou art careful and troubled about many things, but one thing is needful, and Mary hath chosen that good part which shall not be taken away from her." I must confess that a great deal of the religion of this day is utterly insipid. There is nothing piquant or elevating about it. Men and women go around humming psalms in a minor key and cultivating melancholy, and their worship has in it more sighs than raptures. We do not doubt their piety. Oh, no! But they are sitting at a feast where the cook has forgotten to season the food. Everything is flat In their experience and in their conversation. Emancipated from sin and death and hell and on their way to a magnificent heaven, they aet as though they were trudging on toward an everlasting Botany Bay. Religion does not seem to agree with them. It seems to catch in the windpipe and become a tight strangulation Instead of an exhilaration. All the infidel books that have been written, from Voltaire down fo Herbert Spencer, have not done so much damage to our Christianity as lugubrious Christians. Pat In More Spice*. I have to say also that we need to put more spice and enlivenment in our religious teaching, whether it be in the prayer meeting or in the Sunday school or in the church. We ministers need more fresh air and sunshine in our lungs and our heart and our head. Do you wonder that the world is so far from being converted when you find BO litle vivacity in the pulpit and in the pew? We want, like the Lord, to plant in our sermons and exhortations more lilies of the field. We want fewer rhetorical elaborations and fewer sesquipedalian words, and when we talk about shadows we do not want to say adumbration, and when we mean queerness wo do not want to talk about idiosyncrasies, or if a stitch in the back iwe do not want to talk about lumbago; but, in the plain vernacular of the great masses, preach that gospel which proposes to make all men happy, honest, victorious and free. • In other words, we want more cinnamon and less gristle. Let this be ; gets through fretting and joins Mary mualc ia appropriate for the drawing V'.\<K at the last of Jessus. All -day long Debora is happy because she can help Xapidoth, Hannah because she can a ooat for young Samuel, Miriam aha «a* watch her infant so in all the different depuUuienls ofwork to which the Lord calls us. Let us be plain. Let us be earnest. Let us be common sensical. When we talk to the people in a vernacular they can understand, they will be very glad to come and received the truth we present. Would to God that Queen Balkis would drive her spice laden dromedaries into all our sermons and prayer meeting exhortations! More than that, we want more life and spice in our Christian work. The poor do not want so much to be groaned over as sung to. With the bread and medicines and garments you give them let there be an accompaniment of smiles and brisk encouragement. Do not stand and talk to them about the wretchedness of their abode, and the hunger of their looks, and the hardness of their lot. Ah, they know it better than you can tell them. Show them the bright side of the thing, if there be any bright side. Tell them good times will come. Tell them that for the children of God there is immortal rescue. Wake them up out of their stolidity by an inspiring laugh, and while you send in help, like the queen of Sheba, also, send in the spices. There are two ways of meeting the poor. One is to come into their houoc with a nose elevated in disgust, as much as to say: "I don't see how you live here in this neighborhood. It actually makes me siok. . There is that oundle. Take it, you poor, miserable wretch, and make the most of it." Another way is to go into the abode of the poor in a manner which seems to say: "The blessed Lord sent me. H» was poor himself. It is not more for the good I am going to try to do you than it is for the good that you can do me." Coming in that spirit, the gift will be as aromatic as the spikenard, on the feet of Christ, and all the hovels on that alley will be fragrant with the spice. Staffing »• ft Religion* Doty. I promise a high spiritual blessing to any one who will sing in church and who will sing so heartily that the people all around cannot help but sing. Wake up, all the churches from Bangor' to San Francisco and across Christendom! It is not a matter of preference. It is a matter of religious duty. Oh, for fifty times more the volume of sound than has ever yet rolled up from our churches! German chorals in German cathedrals surpass us, and yet Germany has received nothing at the hands of God compared with America. And ought the ac/ claim in Germany be louder than that of America? Soft, long drawn out heaven he cays: "I hear a great voice as the voice of a great multitude, and as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of mighty thunderings. Halleluiah, for the Lord God omnipotent relgneth!" Join with me in a crusade,, giving me not only your hearts, but the mighty uplifting of your voices, and I believe we can through Christ's grace sing 6,000 souls into the kingdom of Christ. An argument they can laugh at, a sermon they may talk down, but a 5,000-voiced utterance of praise to God is irresistible. Would that .Queen Balkis would drive all her spice-laden dromedaries into our church music! The Btmedjr for Sorrow. Why did you look so sad this morning when you came in? Alas, for the loneliness and the heartbreak and the load that is never lifted from your soul! Some of you go about feeling like Macaulay when he wrote, "If I had another month of such days as I have been spending, I would be impatient to get down into my little, narrow crib in the ground, like a weary factory child." And there have been times in your life when you wished you could get out of this life. You have said, "Oh, how sweet to my lips would be the dust of the valley!" and wished you could pull over you in your last slumber the coverlet of green grass and daisies. You have said: "Oh, how beautifully quiet it must be In the tomb! I wish I was there." I see all around about me widowhood and orphanage and childlessness; sadness, disappointment, perplexity. If I could ask all those in any audience who have felt no sorrow and been buffeted by no disappointment—if I could ask all such to rise, how many would rise? Not one. A widowed mother, with her little child, went west, hoping to get better wages there, and she .was taken sick and died. The overseer of the poor got her body and put it in a box and put it in a wagon and started down the street toward the cemetery at full trot. The little child—the only childran after it through the streets bareheaded, crying: "Bring me back my mother! Bring me back my mother!" And it was said that as the people looked on and saw her crying after that which lay in the box in the wagon, all she loved on earth—it is said the whole village was in tears. And that is what a great many of you are doing—chasing the dead. Dear TinrA, is t.hp.rft no appeasement for all mfnmtimm WILL WE MAKB LIFE? THE NEW CENTURY MAY VEAL THIS MARVEL.

Across the couches of your sick and across the graves of your dead I fling this shower of sweet spices. Queen Balkis, driving up to the pillared portico of the house of cedar, carried no such pungency of perfume as exhales to-day from the Lord's garden. It is peace. It is sweetness. The Mont Blagnkttoeut Temple. Have you read of the Taj Mahal, in India, in some respects'the most majestic building on earth? Twenty thousand men were twenty years in building it. It cost about 116,000,000. The walls are of marble inlaid with carnelian from Bagdad and turquoise from Tibet and jasper from the Punjab and amethyst from Persia and all manner of precious stones. A traveler said that it seemed to him like the shining of the enchanted castle of burnished silver. The walls .are 245 feet high, and from the top of these springs a dome 30 more feet high, that dome containing the most wonderful echo the world has ever known, so that ever and anon travelers standing below with flutes and drums and harps are testing that echo, and the sounds from below strike up, and then come down, as it were, the voices of angels all around about the building. There is around it a garden of tamarind and banyan and palm and all the floral glories of the ransacked earth. But that is only a tomb of a dead empress, and it is tame compared with the grandeurs which God has bullded for your living and immortal spirit. Oh, home of the blessed! Foundations of gold! Arches of victory! Capstones of praise! And a dome in which there are echoing and re-echoing the halleluiahs of the ages! And around about that mansion is a garden, the garden of God, and all the springing fountains are the bottled tears of the church in the wilderness and all the crimson of the flowers is the deep hue that was caught up from the carnage of earthly martyrdoms and the fragrance is the prayer of all the sainta and the aroma puts Into utter forgetfulness the cassia and the spikenard and the frankincense and the world renowned spices which Queen Balkis of Abyssinia flung at the feet of King Solomon. When shall these eyes thy heaven built walls And pearly gates behold, Thy bulwarks, with salvation strocg, And streets of shining gold? The famous Professor Haeckel says that/man will some day Learn how to make life—that he will know how "to produce a living substance by artificial processes." Perhaps the new century may hold in reserve this greatest marvel, which will enable the physiological chemist to assume the role of a creator. It may be only in a small way, but it will be wonderful none the less. After all, the problem Is simply to create a bit of protoplasm, which is the basis of all life, the clay of the potter—the substance, in short, out of which all animals and plants are built up. And surely that ought not to be so very difficult, considering what very ordinary stuff protoplasm is. Take a spoonful of the white of an egg, and you have it, practically. White of egg, in fact, is nearly pure protoplasm. The composition of protoplasm being absolutely known, the chemist has no great trouble in imitating it So many parts of oxygen, hydrogen, nitrogen and carbon are put together, and there you are. Artificial protoplasm has been made of albuminous substances and oils, and the product has actually had a movement of its own simulating life; but the movement was due merely to chemical causes. Viewed under the microscope, the stuff had exactly the same apparent structure as protoplasm, but there was no life in it, and no reproductive principle. The difference between a thing living and a thing dead is not a matter of structure or chemical composition—the two may be exaetly the same in both respects— but in the ability which the living thing has to renew its own cells and propagate fresh ones. Blood taken out of the veins of a living animal is the same as the blood that remains in the veins, but the latter is continually developing new corpuseles —is alive, in bther words—while the former does nothing of the kind. Why is it so? In the answer to that question lies the arch-se6ret of Dame Nature's laboratory. It has never been plausibly guessed at as yet, hut there Is no good reason for taking it for granted that It will never be found out. Prof. Haeckel calls attention to the fact that in trying to create life man is only making an effort to accomplish what the plants In anybody's garden are doing all the time. They take so many parts of carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen and oxygen and convert them into protoplasms^ the living substance. Science can combine these elements just as nature does, the proportions being exactly known, but not yet so as to produce life. "But f believe firmly," says the great physiologist, " hat the problem will some day be solved, and the artificial production of life become an accomplished fact." If a drop of blood be drawn by pifckiug one's finger and viewed under a high microscopic power there will be seen> among numerous little disc-shaped bodies which float in it and give it its red color, a comparatively smaller number of somewhat larger colorless bodies of irregular shape. If the drop be kept at the temperatnre of living blood theso colorless corpuscles will be seen to exhibit a marvelous activity, changing their forms with great rapidity, drav/ing in and thrusting out prolongations of their substance, and creeping about as if they were independent. organisms. Each is a tiny mas3 of protoplasm, and ha3 a nucleus of its ov/n. It is a structural unit of the human being taking shape as an aggregation of such corpuscles. It is the same way with all other animals, though they are built up on different structural forms, and some, like the amoeba, are so low down in the scale of creation as to consist' of but one such cell. A plant is able to take carbolic acid, water, and nitrogenoussalts, and convert them into proto^ plasm. That is the way in which, vegetable organisms grow. An animal cannot do this, and so would starve in the presence of any quantity of such raw materials.—Philadelphia Times. A OYCLONi IN MAHlTiUD., Klne-»oo| Walts *•«•*»<!

The wild ass may almost be saixi to be the antithesis of the domestic species. The one is high-spirited and untamable, the other the meekest and most submissive of quadrupeds; the one is as remarkable for its speed as the other for its slowness; and while the wild specimen ranks among the most graceful animals of creation, its every* movement typical of the untrammeled freedom of the desert over which it loves to roam, and of the unfettered breath of heaven, which seems to lend it wings,, its siihdugated congener is awkward and: ungainly. ln» color Vttt) roulan, or .jwfld ass, is a creamy white, shading to fawn on the back, with a handsome darker stripe running from wither to tail, and a corresponding marking on each forearm; the head and muzzle are finely molded, the ears less long and pointed than those in the tame donkey and eyes large and prominent and ae bright as those of the gaselle, and the legs resemble in length and lightness those of the deer. Wild asses congregate in herds of from sixty to seventy; snd it is said by the natives that there is generally but one male in every herd. It is even, rare to find a male among the young ones captured. No pettier sight can be seen than one of these herds careering over the plain sending up the solt spray like a shower of crystal In their flight Theirs is the very poetry of motion, hut the sight is too transient, their neatness of foot carrying them out of the range of vision long before the enjoymeU that their beauty gives U satiated,. ;.v ' . ; , / ' • • - . , > #t" * * UP '«!?. mmm^mm. •JPPP • ' ' i «• •• * » ' v ' ^•fe1 : * • • : A* § mm? :¾ : * # > ••?U' • * * • • * ^ ¾ 7- *£* • • ^ • • A : ' ' t w-,:. ..(. -v A- — — P « ^6e Scourge * • A Story of the E*xst...

They were talking about the approaching marriage. "In three daya more," said Horam, "I shall claim her for my bride," "In truth, sire, it is as you have said/' replied the minister. He Bpoke net with the enthusiasm of appreciation,' hut as one who would not dispute his king. "I trust, sire, your hopas may find their fruition. I pray that Ulin may bear to thee a son, and thus make bright and promising the evening of your Ufa" "Good Aboul, I trust In thy words. Ha! what now? "Whom have we here?" "Sire, "spoke a. page, "the Israelite, Judah Is without, and would speak with thee." "Howl" cried the king. "Is it the Judah whom 1 sent from the Valley of Lycanrosr* **The same, sire."* **The*n send him to me at once. By my life, Aboul, "he cannot have accomplished his mission so soon. I dare not Tiope -BO.*" "Let -us Tiope IOT the best," suggested the minister; and before further remark could be made Judah stood In the royal presence. • "Ha, Judah—do I see thee back so soon? "Have you come 'to bring me word of failure?" "Nay, sire," replied the Israelite, "I have come to bring the robber chieftain t o Damascus." "Have you taken him ?" "Yes. sire." "Alive?" "Yes, sire:" "And have him here?" "Ready to be brought before you at any time." "He is bound?" "Yes, sire." "Then bring him at once. By the host of Pluto, I would see the fellow. But—hold. He is guarded?" '^Xe*r sire. nsmir and Selim are •with him." "Are they all?" "It needs no more. The prisoner is securely bound, and can offer no resistance." "Then let him come;" "Ye gods!" Uttered Horam, turning to his minister, after Judah had gone, "what manner of man shall we behold?" "I cannot guess, sire:" "A giant, r think—as ugly as a Cylop. But he is bound, Aboul—he is bound." In a little while the door opened, and Judah entered, followed by Osmir and Selim, who led a bound man between them. "Sire," spoke the Israelite, "this is the prisoner." "But where is Julian?" demanded Horam. "This is Julian." "This?" cried the monarch, taking a step forward, and gazing into the face of the bound man before him. 'This?' he repeated, in a lower tone, advancing another step, and gazing more earnestly upon the bold, open, youthful face. "This is not Julian." T h i s is he who hath commanded the robber band," said Judah. "Aye—and I am he whom you have called the Scourge of Damascus," spoke the prisoner, standing proudly erect, and gazing full into the face of the king. *1 am Julian, the enemy of Horam, and the avenger of wrongs done years ago." The monarch, as he gazed more intently upon those features, and as the tones of that Toice fell upon his ear, seemed startled by the memory of some old dream. And Aboul Cassem was not entirely uninterested. The old minister gazed as fixedly and as earnestly upon the face of the young chieftain as did his royal master; and he, too, seemed puzzled and perplexed. *"" "Who are you?" asked Horam. "I am Julian, the Scourge." "But what else?" "You should know what else, most mighty king. I have tried to make myself felt by you." "But," urged rtoram, taking no notice of the robber's tone, "why have you cought to harm me? Who are you that can have cause for such enmity?" "I am one who knows the bitterness of deepest wrong," replied Julian. "Fa-' tberless and motherless came I from the feeble steps of childhood; and I know that Horam was the murderer of my parents." "Ha!" cried the king, with a start. "Who were your parents?' ' "•I will not speak their names in your presence."1 "Beware, robber! I may compel you io answer." . "If you have power to extract answers from dead men, yon may force answers from me." "By the gods, thou art Insolent." "Then bind my tongue, as these slaves have bound my arms." "No," said Horam, struggling with his passion. "I have another plan. The secret which you will not speak to me you shall never speak. You siiall follow your parents with all possible speed. Judah!" "I am here, sire." "You know the deepest, darkest dungeon, where the most dreaded prisoners are confined?" "Yes, sire." "Conduct this man thither. Plunge him into the very bowels of the deepest cavern, where the doors are of iron,^ and the bolts of triple steel, and see that he is kept safely there until the morrow. You will answer for him with your life.", "Once more tho king gazed into that youthful face, and then turned away to a window. "Sire," spoke the minister, after the prisoner had been conducted away, "why do you spare £hat man for even another hour? Why do you not execute him at once?" "Because," replied Horam, starting up, "I have a curiosity to know who he is. There is some mystery in that face of his. It is now near the hour of the council, and I have not time to think. I must see him again. Did you not mark something peculiar in his look?" "Yes, sire; there is something in his face which is familiar to me; or, at ^least, it seems so." "By my life, Aboul, it must be so. Did you mark that bold front; that open brow; that Jove-like sweep of nose and chin? and did you mark the deep lustrous eyes, and the gentle curling of that sunny hair?" "Yes, sire." "And can you not read its 3ecret?" "No. Can your majesty?" "Not yet—not yet, Aboul; but I must I have a wt.rangft.piirfnsity; and it \* a j did not refuse. When ho talked of I my being queen, and of my giving birth to a king to a king of Damascus, I thought It might be my duty to offer myself. I did not then know Horam. But—now—I have learned new things, fc dread the fata which I have courted. I fear and loath* the man whose wife I have promised to become. When I first promised to give myself to Horam I felt that I could perform the duty without the sacrifice of any real virtue or' comfort of life. But, oh, how changed it has all' become. Not only does my whole nature shrink from the sacrifice, but it seems as though a fate worse than death were involved in the ordeal. Last night I dreamed that Horam was my husband, and that he meant to kill me. He did not plan to drown me, as he did poor Helena; but he declared that I should be thrown alive into a den of wild beasts. It makes you shudder, Albia," "Oh, how terrible!'" "And yet, my dear girl, I dreamed that I felt a relief when I knew that death was coming, even though it was to come so dreadfully. Just think what -a state of mind that must be. Oh, it is horrible! Dear Albia, I know not what to do." "Have you told me all?" whispered the bondmalden, winding her arm about her mistress' neck, and kissing her upon the brow. "Have I not told you enough?" returned Ulin, covering her face with her hands. "Not if there is more to tell, dear lady. You have trusted me this far— trust me with all. You have told me that you dread the king; and I do not wonder at this. You cannot have forgotten that I spoke against the union from the first. It seemed to me unnatural. But, lady, there is something more." "Nothing more which I dare to tell, Albia. Nay—do not ask me. I have told you all that I can tell. And now I ask you—what can I do? The fatal SB* curiosity which has been stransHy and suddenly excited." CHAPTER VII. At Hassem's House. Ulin had lost none of her wondrous beauty; but she had become pale, and the healthy flash of the eye was gone. Late in the evening she sat in her chamber, with her brow resting upon her hand, and ever and anon a deep sigh escaped her. "My dear, good mistress," spoke Albia, gliding to the side of the princess, and resting her hand affectionately upon her arm, "I cannot bear to see you suffer so. What is it?" "It is nothing, Albia." Ulin spoke without raising her head, and her voice was low and sad. "Don't tell me that," urged the attendant. She got down upon her knees, and gazed earnestly up into Ulin's face. "Oh, my dear lady, you are miserable and unhappy. Why will you not pour out your sorrows to me? Perhaps I can help you bear them. You know I love you; you know that I will be faithful. Tell me all, and I will suffer with you if I can; and I will help you if there is help to be had. As I live at this moment, so, if it should appear to me necessary, would I lay down my life for your welfare. Will you not trust me?" "Ulin leaned her head forward upon Albia's shoulder, and burst into tears. "Oh, Albia, you are my friend—you are my sister. I know you love me; and I cannot tell you how grateful I am." "They why will you not lift the veil from your sorrow, and allow me to feel still more for you?" "I had almost resolved to tell you, •Albia." "Then make the resolution sure, and admit me to your fullest confidence." The princess dried her eyes, and finally lifted her head from her companion's shoulder. "Dear Albia, I know not how to commence. I am a child—a poor, foolish child—as you will say when I have told you all. You will say that I deserve to suffer, and that punishment should be mine." "Nay, my lady," responded the bondmaiden; "you must not commence in that way. Tell me first all the cause of your sorrow; and leave it for me to base my own judgment. Come—trust me, and let me give you all my sympathy." A few moments the princess was silent, and then she said, with a low tremor in her voice: "Dear Albia, when I said that I would marry with the king I did not think what I was doing. That strange dream, so wonderfully repeated, led my father to broach the subject, and I have promised to give myself to the king." ' "There is one thing you can do, my mistress—one thing alone, which I can see." "Speak, Albia." "You can flee." "Flee!" repeated Ulin, in a startled whisper. "There is but one other course open to you.' MEMBER OF FRnu CONGRESS mn ISLANDS • : / . . . > » Cured of Catarrh of the Stomaclr by Pe-ru-na. yuiitmniuiuiimuu in 1 uutii Humming v : CONGRESSMAN R. W.

T Vrf Pincsn»y A Joseph Paul, writing in the Standard about the abolition of the canteen in the British army hi India, says: "Knowing the terrible amount of drinking in tbe army in India, and that druukeuuess is tbe father of many other vices, and seeing the evangalistic work met with so much opposition on the part of many officers, Sir Frederick determined to remedy these evils. Accordingly, a thorough reformation in the canteen system was attempted. And no one outside of the army knows what a gigantic undertaking this was. Where formerly men sat within bare walls and at dirty benches drinking bad beer from tiu pots, which they carried to and from their barrack-rooms, and with absolutely nothing to divert their minds from drinkirjg, there sprang up decorated walls, clean floors, covered tables, glasses, innocent games and reading matter, all of which taught the soldier something of self-respect After awhile the coffee shop, which hitherto had been in the hands of Mohammedans, was taken up by the soldiers themselves and greatly improved in cleanliness, respectability and attractiveness. The temperance coffee sbopB, too, came to a recognized institution and received a due share of attention. Here men could spend a quiet evening reading, writing letters, sipping a cup of tea or coffee, or even have a substantial meal served. No half-drunken comrade could molest the self-respecting man here. To my personal knowledge, the regimental savings band in the Lucknow cantonments received a marked increase in the number of depositors as a result of these changed conditions. In fact, men began to see that someone cared for them and desired to elevate them socially and morally. Non-commissioned officers were at this time sirictly enjoined to teach self respect by example; and if they themselves were found drunk, p j f h A r n n nr n f f ( W . y , t l i A y w e r e MATRON AND MAID.

D o you send them to the Chicago bouse? Suppose everyone sent to Chicago for their supplies, how long could the home merchant stay in business? Suppose they were all obliged to shut up shop and you were obliged to go thirty or forty milss to market your produce, how mueh would your farm be 'worth compared with to-day? Just revolve these ideas over in your mind and ask yourself the question, 'Does it pay to buy in Chicago even if I can save a few cents on a dollar?' If you conclude that it does, the next time that you get bard up and need a Jittle credit, just write the Chicago house and ask for it. When you have a little produce to bell, write and get their price. You will find they do business for cash only and have no use for your credit or produce.," wmmm • i.fiiii 3 A little Jackson girl has written the following QBsay about boys; u The boy is not an animal, yet they can be heard to a considerable distance.

I was at least 500 feet away from him ami when the train rushed by me and I saw Henry walking on the wrong track and with his back to the train 1 yelled at him 1o get off, but the noise of the train drowned my voice. His attention was not attracted, at least he never looked around and the engine struck him. The train made enough noise to alarm him if he had had any idea that he was on the wrong track.

No quarter will be given. /Wo are prepared to spend all the money and time necessary to. wipe out the Amalgamated Association in all of our mills." The Amalgamated Association ^ is this: "All negotiations with the United States Steel corporation are closed as far as our association is concerned. We came here hopeful that the conference would mark the close of the struggle. We return now to renew the struggle. Now the matter will be fought to a final issue unless we are *ent for by the officials of the corporation." The 400,000 employes of the United States Steel corporation may feel the strike. The American Federation of Labor may call out its thousands who handle the corporation's products; .structural steel workers may refuse to handle steel from trust mills and miners to dig coal for them. Unless It Is speedily broken by the United States Steel corporation, the strike nnd Its results will be felt over the whole United States. It said that the United States Steel corporation officials instead of resuming negotiations where they were suspended at the conference on July 11, 12 and 13'!" withdrew"The pTnrrosttlmm then made and insisted that the strikers return to work at last year's ^ scale for the American Sheet Steel Co.. and the American Steel Hoop Co., and at the scale of July 1. 1001. for the Tin Plate Co. The strikers' proposition was that the scales be 'signed for none but those mills which are organized and where the men ceasing to work have signified their desire to be connected with the Amalgamated Association. This modification was mode* because the trust officials declared the Amalgamated officials wished 1o force men into tho organization against their will and desire. T h e Sen ley IlHiTTtry Secretary Long is having some difficulty in selecting a rear admiral to take the place of Rear Admiral Kimberley, of the Schley court of inquiry. It is said that there is hardly another officer in the service who has not expressed- his opinion of the controversy. Many names have been suggested, the most prominent that of Rear Admiral Luce. Luce, however, is disqualified. At a recent dinner he said in a speech that there should be but one vice admiral, and that one William T. Sampson. Indirectly be has expressed himself still more strongly so that his bias is considered to be beyond question. Secretary Long, in bis desire to be perfectly fair, AVIU. therefore, not appoint Luce. Cnpt. Parker, assistant counsel for Schley, has intimated thpt^ the defense will turn the court of In-^ quiry into a trial of Sampson as well as of Schley. He says Sampson will be asked many questions Intended to be embarrassing and to show that he is guilty of some of the very things of which he accuses his brother officer. Bold Trnln Robbery. The Baltimore & Ohio passenger train from the east, which was due to arrive in Chicago at 0 o'clock Wednesday night, was held up by five masked men at 8 o'clock, between Edgemore and Grand Calumet Heights, Ind., 31 miles out from Chicago. One of the mail cars, which contained no money, was dynamited and wrecked. The train was the New York and Washington vestibule limited.

(Copyright, 1901, Dally Story Pub. Co.) W3ienJued^etier^w«nt_westto_help ^the country grow up, Rose Hawthorne thought her heart was broken. This was a logical sequence of the firm conviction that she could not live without Jared, which had led her to engage herself to him. In accordance with this fixed Idea, she, for a day or two, refused food, and mournfully contemplated tho prospect of an early demise. But an immature mind cannot long dominate a young and healthy physique. On the third day she made several surreptitious visits to the pantry; on the fourth day she dined openly and heartily; and the day after she was startled by the discovery that she had not thought of Jared for several hours. The Sunday following Jared's departure, she permitted Harold Winterset, the son of a wealthy manufacturer from a neighboring city, to accompany her home from church and linger for an hour at the gate; and she was again startled by the discovery that she en- Joyed his society quite as much as Jared's. Then she went upstairs and sat down in the moonlit window to consider. She had all the rules of love at her s fingers' ends. She knew that "Absenee makes the heart grow fonder," that true love never forgets or wavers for the fraction of a second. She was therefore forced to the conclusion that "Vie did not love Jared; that she never had loved him; and the manufacturer's had found his chief occupation in tracing his own characteristics in the growing boy. "He's a Peters, every inch of him," gran'ther would shout when Jared's boyish achievements creditable or otherwise, came to his notice. Gran'ther Peters had always liked Rose; and of all the grils in the country round, he would have chosen her for Jared. When, therefore, at the age of sixteen, Jared first walked home from church with her, gran'ther retired to the grape arbor and chuckled till he was black in the face. He did all he could to foster the budding romance; and when the engagement was formally announced, his rapture nearly caused a fit of apoplexy. When a tattling neighbor brought the news of Rose's double-dealing, the old man flatly refused to believe!_iti__but summer twiHght an inky black; and variftji'MM • M M continual flash©* of lightning iliuminated Jared's handsome, melaneholy face and sombre eyes. He sat opposite hi* false sweetheart,and Harold; and behind him, the old man, white* faced but firm-lipped, glared over his boy's head like a wounded lion. As, Jared's ead, mellow voice died away with a little break—he felt a pang of genuine emotion as be remembered poor Wiley's face with the bullet hole in the forehead—Rote's heart melted. All that was sweet and womanly and good In her untutored soul rose i to the surface. She crossed the piasza, and laying her hand on Jared's shoulder, resolutely faced her frowning parents and the chagrined Harold. "X shall stand by Jared/' she said, in ringing tones. Jared started to his feet In dismay. This climax was precisely the opposite of the one he had courted and expected. The face of the dimpled Kansas girl flitted across his memory, and in his own heart. The two young things who had been playing with the eternal verities of love and death, looked into each other's eyes, and, by the white light of the approaching storm, saw there that which made them afraid and ashamed of what they had been doing—saw the dawn of an everlasting affection—the affection that mocks disaster, and calmly ignores doubters and detractors, as the placid moon Ignores the yellow dog that bays It. Gran'ther's face was convulsed with delight. Tears of Joy meandered unheeded down his wrinkled cheeks, as, glaring at the dsicomfited Harold, he raised his staff and brought it down with a force that split it in twain. "She's a Peters, every inch of her," he roared. "Leastways, she soon will be." Rose was somewhat shocked when she learned that Jared's woes were all assumed; and that he~had prudently wnen witn his own eyes, he saw Rose and Harold strolling by, arm in arm, in the dusk, he took to his bed. After two or three days of misery, mental and physical, he arose and spent an entire afternoon in inditing a letter which struck consternation to Jared's soul. It was vague in manner and matter, but he gathered from it some Inkling of the truth; and immediately wrote—not to Rose, but to one of her girl friends. By return mail he received a spicy and perhaps not unexaggerated account of Rose's "carryings on." Now Jared, absorbed in speculation as he was, had kept a little corner of his heart for Rose; and thought himself a miracle of constancy because ae had not allowed another to share Tt—There are pretty girls in Kanaaa; and there was one in particular, with wondrous dimples, that he had noticed, just barely noticed, you know—so he made the customary remarks about female perfidy. He wrote Rose a biting letter-^and_.lQre it np4- for- -a—subtler revenge had occurred to him. He divined that Rose preferred him . to Harold—if he succeeded in making money; and he plotted accordingly. From this date his correspondence took on a dismal hue. The boom was declining; and there were vague hints of pitfalls that ensare the unwary and the inexperienced. Close on the heels of these dire forebodings, followed a rumor that Jared had come home unexpectedly, locking very seedy; and it was surmised, "dead broke." * Friends and neighbors, Rose and Harold among them, promptly gathered on the broad piazza to greet thehome comer, and learn the truth of the matter. One glance at the young man's doleful face was enough. Disaster was written on it. At first he seemed disinclined to talk; but numerous well put queries finally loosened his unwilling tongue. Among the friends Jared made In the west was one who had been born under an unlucky star. He was intelligent and shrewd; but everything he touched turned to ashes. Where others reaped golden harvests, he reaped misfortune, and his affairs became seriously 'involved. He was too young to know that while there Is life there is hope; and one night, Jared, who roomed with him, came home to find his friend stretched on the floor with a bullet through his head, and t h e empty revolver in his own stiffening right hand. With the callousness of youth, Jared adapted this young-fellow's story to his own uses. Up to the/ culminating tragedy, he told it as his own, and told It well. He was a clever actor, and fully realised the dramatic possibilities of the situation. The stage setting was perfect A. rising thunderstorm had dyed the "I Shall Stand by Jared." escaped from the collapsing boom with the neat little nest egg of one hundred thousand dollars; but she became reconciled to the situation in time.

From the day It was declared that the red-faced mite of humanity called Jaqsd was the Imafe of his grandfather, the oM man made of oak, in .the cottages of the village folk. These pieces of furniture have been handed down from generation to generation of rural folk sucb as carters, keepers, woodmen and shepherds. How^did the"Ta'm'ily" originally come by them? The explanation is this in many cases: Generations ago, when the furniture, which is once again prized greatly, began tc go out of fashion and to be superseded by stuff which we view with contempt nowadays, it was sold and farmers bought much of it. But by and by. the farmer being prosperous, and desiring to be in the fashion, too, like his landlord, bought in its place more modern chairs and tables, etc. Then the village folk bought for a song the despised oak chairs, coffers, etc., and now, once again, the old furniture has come into favor and is finding its waj back from the cottage to the hall — London Express.

Dr. Saunders of Canada says that tbe. awnless brouie grass has proved of great value in tbe northwest and baa practically sofveU tbe question, so important tfeere in mixed farming, ot obtaining good pastures Tbe brome graw Is quite hardy, gives excellent crops, and after two or three years it is found to thicken up so much that while tbe crop of hay is less, the undergrowth becomes so thick tLat It produces good pasture for the greater part- of the year. It starts to gnpw very early in tbe spring and continues to grow very late in tbe season, so that it is a very advantageous crop for tbe farmer, and a largo number of tbe northwest settlers now bave a few acres of land in this brome grass. The grass grows in a great variety of soils. It does well on good, rich land, it accommodates itself^ to almost any kind of soil and will stand any amount of cold weather. In the northern part of Russlu, where tbe people ,have long depended mainly ou brome grass for hay, it is said to grow on all sorts of soil. According to Dr. Saunders, "There is very little difficulty in getting rid of the roots if it Is, plowed under at the proper time—that is, in the autumn or early in the spring. If it is plowed later in the season, when there Is an abundance of rain, the roots will sometimes start again, but we have practically found no difficulty here, and In the northwest the strong, fibrous roots of this grass have been found of great advantage from the abundance of fibers which It produces. These permeate the soil to a depth of three or four inches, so that when a piece of brome grass land is plowed under the soil Is not liable to blow in windy weather, as is the case with ordinary summer fallow. . - "I saw this year at Indian Head some five acres of brome grass land which had been plowed. under carrying a crop of barley which did not seem to have suffered at nil from the action of the wind, although it was In a very exposed place. These'fibers In the soil had held It together." jfcjt" stays ^own~<o i n n i H r tuds are visible to tbe naked eye. A »»id«r'» T*r«a4.

It is customary to tie the leaves together when the heads are forming, although when the plants are well grown this is not always necessary. Other varieties closely resembling the above and which appear to be hardly distinct from It are the Trianon Cos and the Paris Self Folding Cos. The White Heart and Dwarf White Heart, If distinct varieties, differ but little from the Paris White Cos and are inferior to it. The Paris Green Cos Is a little deeper green than the Paris White and the plant not quite so large, but matures « few days earlier. Balloon Cos has leafy plants and the heads not very firm even when tied. Ground Cos Is a dwarf variety, intermediate between Paris White and Asparagus Cos.

If you're running a dairy,—be there one cow or one hundred— your profit dedemls upou the quality of cream you're getting. If you aren't getting all the cream there is in your milk, you're losing just that much money. By the old system of milk-setting you lose from ten to twenty per cent, of the cream, besides doing a lot of unnecssary work.

V I M All the Flocks Are "Gathered Tojptthe^~ Whjr Some Aw Kept Back— Trust la God's Providence — Christ's (Eternal JFoontains—To the Gospel Well. lOonrrlgftt, W01, by Louis Klopscb, N. T.J Wwkinston, Aug. 11.—In this discourse Dr. Talmage represents religion M ft greet refreshment and invites all the world to come and receive it; t e x t Geaesia xxix, 8, "We cannot until nil the flocks be gathered together and till they roll the stone from the well's mouth; then we water the sheep." A scene in Mesopotamia, beautifully pastoral. A well of water of great value in that region. The fields around about it white with three flocks of «i\eep lying down waiting for the watering. I hear their bleating coming on the bright air and the laughter of young men and maidens indulging in rustic repartee. I look off, and I see other flocks of sheep coming. Meanwhile Jacob, a stranger, on the interesting errand of looking for a wife, comes to the well. A beautiful shepherdess comes to the same well. I see her approaching, followed by her father's flock of sheep. It was a memorable meeting. Jacob married that shepherdess. The Bible account of it is, "Jacob kissed Rachel and lifted up his voice and wept." It has always been a mystery to me what he found to cry about! But before that scene occurred Jacob accosts the shepherds «nd asks them why they postpone the slaking of the thirst of these sheep and why they did not immediately proceed to water them. The shepherds reply to the effect: "We are all good neighbors, and as a matter of courtesy we wait until all the sheep of the neighborhood come up. Besides that, this stone on the well's mouth is somewhat heavy, and several of us take hold of it and push it aside, and then the buckets and the troughs are filled and the sheep are satisfied. We -cannot until all the flocks are gathered together and till they roll the stone from the well's mouth; then we water the sheep." Coming: t o t h e Gospel Well. If a herd of swine come to a well, they angrily jostle each other for the precedence; if a drove of cattle come to a well, they hook each other back from the water, but when a flock of -sheep come, though a hundred of them shall bo disappointed, they only -^xprnnp H >~>y RM heating they come together peaceably. We want a great multitude to come around the gospel well. I know there are those who do not like a coward; they think a crowd is vulgar. If they are oppressed for room In church, it makes them positively impatient and belligerent. We have had people permanently leave • church because so many other people •come to It. Not so did these oriental shepherds. They waited until all the flocks were gathered, and the more flocks that came the better they liked it. And so we ought to be anxious that all the people should come. Go out Into the highways and the hedges and compel them to come in. Go to the rich and tell them they are indigent without the gospel of Jesus. Go to the poor and tell them the affluence there is in Christ. Go to the blind aud tell them of the touch that gives eternal Illumination. Go to the lame and tell them of the joy that will make the lame man leap like a hart. Gather all the sheep off all the mountains. None 'so torn uf the doga-r-Boae-HSO-^sirk. none so worried, none so dying, as to bo omitted. Why not gather a great flock? All this city in a flock, all Now \OT\\ in a flock, all London in a flock, ail the world in a flock. This well of the gospel is deep enough to put out the burning thirst of the 1,600,000,000 of the race. Do not let the church by a spirit of exclusivenesa keep the world out. Let down all the bars, swing open all the gates, scatter all the invitations. ."Whosoever will, let him come." Come, white and black. Come, red men of the forest. Come, Laplander, out of the snow. Come, Patagonian, out of the south. Come in furs. Come panting under palm leaves. Come one. Come all. Come now. As at this well of Mesopotamia Jacob and Rachel "were betrothed, so this morning at this well of salvation Christ, our Shepherd, will meet you coming up with your long flocks of cares and anxieties, and he will stretch out his hand in pledge of his affection while all heaven will cry out: "Behold, the bridegroom cometh! Go ye out to meet fcim." W h y Some Are K e p t B a r k . ': Here is another man who is kept back from this water of life by the stone of an obdurate heart which lies -over the mouth of the well. You have •no more feeling upon this subject than /if God had yet to do you the first llcindness or you had to do God the (first wrong. Seated on his lap all •these years, his everlasting arms sheltering you, where -4s—your—gratitude.? jiWhece is your morning and evening | prayer? Where are your consecrated lives? I say to you, as Daniel said to Belshazaar, "The God in whose hand thy breath is, and all thy way, thou hast not glorified.*" If you treated anybody as badly as you have treated Gcd, you would have made 500 apologies; yea, your whole life would have been an:._a£qlojQr. JThree times a day you have been seated at God's table. Spring, summer, autumn and winter he has appropriately appareled you. Your health from him, your companion from him, your children from him, your home from him, all t h e bright surroundings of your life from him. Oh, man, what dost thou with that hard heart? Canst thou not feel one throb of gratitude toward the God that made you, and the Christ who came to redeem you, and the Holy Ghost who has all these years been importuning you? If you could alt down five minutes under the tree of a Savior's martyrdom and feel his llfeblood trickling on your forehead and cheek and hands, methinks you would get some appreciation of what you owe to a crucified Jesus. Heart of Stone, relent, relent, Touched by Jesus' cross subdued; See his body, mangled, rent, Covered with a gore of blood. Sinful soul, what hast thou done? Crucified the Eternal Son! Jacob, with a good deal of tug and push, took the stone from the well's mouth so that the flocks might be watered. And I would that this day my word, blessed of God, might remove the hindrances to your getting up to the gospel well. Yea, I take it for granted that'the work is done, and now, like oriental shepherds, I proceed to water the sheep. Come, all ye thirsty! You have an undefined longing in your soul. You tried money making; that did not satisfy you. You tried office under government; that did not satisfy_you. Y o ^ a r e as much discontented with this life as the celebrated French author who felt that he could not any longer endure the misfortunes of the world and who said: "At 4 o'clock this afternoon I shall put an end to my own existence. Meanwhile I must toil on up to Xhat time for the sustenance of my family." And he wrote on his book until the clock struck 4, when he folded up his manuscript and. by his owu hand, concluded .his earthly life. Christ's E t e r n a l F o u n t a i n s . There are men who are perfectly discontented^.._Unhap_py in the past, unhappy today, to be unhappy forever unless you come to this gospel well. This satisfies the soul with a high, deep, all absorbing and eternal satisfaction. It comes, and it offers the mosf!IhT!o"rTmial^Ihah~s6 much'of this world as is best for him and throws all heaven into the bargain. The wealth of Croesus and of all the Rothschilds is only a poor, miserable shilling compared with the eternal fortunes that Christ offers you today. In the far east there was a king who used once a year to get on the scales, while on the other side the scales were placed gold and silver and gems—indeed, enough were placed there to balance the king. Then, at the close of the weighing, all those treasures were thrown among the populace. But Christ today steps on one side the scales, and on the other side are all the treasures of the universe, and he says, "All are yours; all height, all depth, all length, all breadth, all f-tornitv—all mv> v n n m " Wo. dr> tint 3SSSS w;.' appreciate the promises of the gospel. When an aged clergyman was dying —a man very eminent in the church —a young theological student stood by his side, and the agei man looked up and said to him, "Can't you give me ; some comfort in my dying hour?" I "No," said the young man: "f can't j talk to you on this subject. You know j all about it and have known it so ' long." "Well," said the dying man, "just recite to me some promises." Tne young man thought a moment, arid he came to this promise: "The blood of Jesus Christ cleanseth from all sin," and the old man clapped his hands and in his dying moment said, "That's just the promise I have been waiting for—'The blood of Jesus Christ cleanseth from all sin.'" Oh, the warmth, the grandeur, the magnificence of the promise! The Cry for Comfort. If I could gather all the griefs of all sorts from these crowded streets and could put them in one scroll, neither man nor angel could endure the recitation. Well, what do you want? Would you like to have your property back again? "No," you say as a Christian man; "I was becoming arrogant, and I think that is why the Lord took it away. I don't want to have my property back." Well, would you have your departed friends back again? "No," you say; "1 couldn't take the responsibility of bringing them from a tearless realm to a realm of tears. I couldn't do it." Well, then, what do you want? A thousand voices in the audience cry out: "Comfort. Give us. comfort!" For that reason I have rolled away the stone from the well's mouth. Come, all ye wounded of the flock, pursued of the wolves, come to the fountain where the lord's sick and bereft ones have "come. "Ah,'* saya £001« one; "you are s o t old enough U understand my sorrows, You'have not been in t h e world 'as long aa I have, and you can't talk to me about mj misfortunes in the time of old a g e / Well, I may not have lived as long ai you, but I have been a great deai among old people, and I know how thej feel about their falling health and about their departed friends and about the loneliness that sometimes strike* through their souls. After two persons have lived together for 40 or 50 years and one is taken away, what desolation! I shall not forget the cry of Dr. De Witt of Ne* York when he stood by the open grave of his beloved wife and after the obsequies had ended he looked down into the open place and said: "Farewell, my honored, faithful and beloved wife, The bond that bound us is severed. Thou a r t in glory, and I am here on earth. We shall meet again. Farewell, farewell!" To lean on a prop for 50 years and then have it break under you!! There were only two years' difference between t h e death of my father and mother. After my mother's decease my father used to go around as though looking for something. He woiSld often get up from one room without any seeming reason and go to another room, and then he would take his cane and start out, and some one would say, "Father, where are you going?" and he would answer, "I don't know exactly where I am going." Always looking for something! Though ho was a tenderhearted man I never raw him cry but once, and that was at the burial of my mother. After 60 years' living together it was hard to part. And there are aged people to-day who are feeling just such a pang as that. I want to tell them there is perfect enchantment in the promises of this gospel, and I come to them and offer them my arm, or I take their arm and I bring them to this gospel well. Sit down, father or mother, sit down. See if there is anything at the well for you. Come, David, the psalmist, have you anything encouraging to offer them? "Yes," says the psalmist; "they shall still bring forth fruit in old age; they shall be fat and flourishing, to show that the Lord is upright. He is my rock, and there is no unrighteousness in him." Come, Isaiah, have you anything to say out of your prophecies for these aged people? "Yes," says Isaiah; "down to old age I am with thee, and to hoary hairs will I carry thee."

Which Is ss Largo a* sixteen of Oar States--Abounds la Wild Anftoals— Primitive Xeftfts of TmasportAtlosk It is customary to think of Manchuria, that oriental province upon which the paws of the Russian bear now rest, as a little corner of the world. It Is nothing of t h e kind. If U could be lifted and set down within the borders of the United States it would cover all the far eastern states, together with New York, New Jersey, Delaware, Virginia, West Virginia, Pennsylvania, Kentucky, Ohio, Indiana and Illinois. Its area is 400,000 square miles. It Is situated In the northeastern part of China, directly south of the Amur or Great river. Well does that stream deserve Its name, for, emptying into the Pacific at the Sea of Okhotsk, it extends backward through nearly one-third of the vast extent of Asia. On the east Manchuria is bounded by a strip of Siberia and by the highland and solitudes which separate it from Corea, the hermit kingdom. On the south is the Yellow sea and westward it stretches away 1 toward Mongolia, without natural j frontiers. In Manchuria everything is 1 still primitive. The mule carts, which < form the only means of transportation, have clumsy, nail-studded wheels, with axles as big as kegs, and which bump along over unseen stones in the same ruta which have been followed for a century. Wives are Btill bought in the market place, like calves and dog3, and are taken home, c!ad -in gorgeous colored silks and wearing headdresses of tinsel and artificial flowers. There are 12,000,000 people in Manchuria living in three provinces, Shinking,Klrin and Tsi-tsl-har. The first is the largest and best known. The chief city, Mukden, is known as "the affluent capital," and has a population as large as Washington. It is surrounded by a low mud wall, ten miles in circuit, within which is another wall, three miles around, thirty-five or forty feet high and fifteen feet in width. The city is like Pekin on a smaller scale. The streets are wide and clean and the large, well-built shops, with their n g ^ o ~ ^ r r T T f f u ^ a n d o t h e r arrangements, inp * i •rvvr. 588¾ worry much about your ailing eyesight and failing limbs. Trust In God's Trovldences. You get a little worried for fear that some tTme you will come to want, do you? Your children and grandchildren sometimes speak a little sharp to you because of your ailments. The Lord will not speak sharp. Do you think you will come to want? What do you think the Lord is? Are, his granaries empty? Will.he feed t h e raven and the rabbit and the lion in the desert and forget you? Why, naturalists tell us that the, porpoise will not forsake its wounded and sick mate. And do you suppose the Lord of heaven and earth has not as much sympathy as\tho fish of the sea? But you say, "'I am so near worn out, and I am of no use to God any more." I think the Lor vmi think God has forgotten you because he has taken care of you 70 or SO years? He thinks more of you to-day than he ever did because you think more'of him. May the God of Abraham and Isaac and Jacob and Paul the aged. be_. y_our God f orever!_ _But I gather all the promises to day in a group, and I ask the shepherds to drive their flocks of lambs and sheep up to the sparkling supply. '•Behold, happy is the man whom God correcteth." "Though he cause grief, yet will he have compassion." "Many are the afflictions of the righteous, but the Lord delivereth him out of them all." "Weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning." I am determined that no one shall go out of thi3 house uncomforted. Yonder is a timid and shrinking soul who seems to hide away from the consolations I am uttering as a child with a sore hand hides away from the physician lest he touch the wound too roughly, and the mother has to go and compel the little patient to come out and see the physician. So I come to your timid and shrinking soul to-day and compel you to come out In the presence of the Divine Physician. He will not hurt you. He has been healing wounds for many years, and he will give you gentle and omnipotent medicament. 3 u t people when they have trouble go any-'where rather than to God. De Quincey took opium to get rid of his troubles. Charles Lamb took to punch; Theodore Hook took to something stronger. Edwin Forrest took to theatrical dissipation. And men have run all around the earth, hoping in the quick transit to get away from th^ir misfortunes. It has- been a dead fMlure.

There are indications of prosperity everywhere and the city Is regarded as one of the best in China. Over toward the Corean border there is less civilization. It has been the custom for many centuries to hold a fair in one of the towns near the Yalu river, which commands the Corean trade. This fair is under the supervision of officers and soldiers. The Manchurlans sell dogs, cats, pipes, leather, stag's horns, copper and horses. They take from the Coreans baskets, rice, cooking utensils, corn, swine, paper mats and oxen. All the trading must be done in five hours, which gives the fair the appearance of a Donnybrook gathering. Just before the sun sets all the Coreans are driven back across the frontier. Manchuria is said tp resemble the1 province of Quebec, except that within its borders are enormous ranges cf mountains which rise as high as 10,000 feet in. the air.

OosyricBted 1SW I97 Bobert Bonner4* Sou, CHAPTER VII.—(Continued.) When the princess was alone, she trembled beneath the' weight of the new thougfet that had been wrought upon her. Flight was something that had not made Its way to her mind bafore, but now that It had been presented, she could not dismiss it. She had revealed her whole feeling, so far as the king was concerned, in her speech to Albia. There may have been other springs within her soul which she did not then dare to touchy but in her own soul, unsupported and uninfluenced by ether causes than such as spring from reason and reflection, had grown a fear of Horani, and a terror of being his wife. She had dreamed of poor Helena until the dead queen seemed almost an attendant spirit upon her, sent to warn her. The night passed, and the day came; and she had resolved that she would not marry with the old king if she could avoid it. When Albia came, and asked her what she had determined, such wa« the purport of her answer. 'But," said the oondmalden, "there Is but one way in which the sacrifice can be avoided. Are you ready to flee?" "Not yet—not yet, Albia, Walt through the day." In the afternoon the king made a visit to the house of his prime minister and spent a short time with Ulin. He never looked more repulsive. He was loud in his words of love, and made the announcement that fortune had turned full in his favor. It was evident enough that he had been taking more wine than usual. When hs went~ away; UHn sank -tJe-w-n—upon, a low stool, and buried her face in her •hands. "Albia," she said, when she.felt like speaking, "1 can bear no more. I would rather die than give myseir to that man. If I should die, my father would lose me; but if I flee from Damascus, I may at some time return to him. If you can prepare for leaving the city, I will accompany you this very night." The bondmaiden promised that she would do all in her power; and without waiting to waste time In useless words, she went forth to search for the help she needed. Evening came, and Ulin had not shrunk back from the decision she had made. There were two reasons why her home had not power to win her back from her resolve. The death of her mother had taken away the brightest part of that home; and, furthermore, its character of home was soon to be changed if she remained. It could not be her home any more.— Thus ___Jherself CHAPTER VIII. Hobaddan. sat the princess, presenting .with every.__axailable -reasonthat could favor her in her resolution, when Albia came in, with a quick step and a flushed cheek. "My mistress," she said, when she had assured herself that they were alone, "there is a man in the garden who wishes to speak with you." "A man!" cried Ulin. "He says it Is a case of life or death—of life or death to an individual, and of life or death to a city," pursued the bondmaiden, without noticing the interruption. "He gained entrance to the garden, and has besn searching for the lady Ulin. He did not tell me his name; but I know that he was with the robbers at the Palace of the Valley, and he says he is a friend of Julian. If you will see him now, I can conduct him up without danger of discovery." "In mercy's name, Albia, what mean you?" The princess trembled like an aspen. "What can he want with me?" "I think he is an honest man, my lady; and I think you had better see him. I only speak my own feelings." "Does he say that Julian sent him?" asked Ulin, trembling more violently as that name fell from her lips. "Julian did not send him," replied Albia; "and yet he comes in behalf of Julian. I think the noble young chieftain is In danger, and this man hopes that you may be able to render some ^assistance." "Indeed, Albia, I must not do such a thing. It would not be proper. . I must not do it. What is the robber chieftain to me?" "I know not of a verity, my lady, —th*t^»uch^8 the man's hope; but I do know that he prays most earnestly to see you. Yet, If you will not see him, I will carry to him your word." ma»»t win h» Hn it j refuse?" prayerfully asks that you will grant him audience." The princess was not proof against the spirit which prompted to the reception of the robber. It was not wholly curiosity which moved her. There were feelings working within her which she could not have explained, even to hersalf. She told Albia that she might conduct the man to her apartment. "You will come with him, Albia; and you will remain with me while he is here." The bondmaiden went away, and ere long returned, followed by a tall, stout, middle-aged man. As the rays of the lamp fell upon his face, revealing features that were far above the average in their stamp of manhood, Ulin recognized him as one whom she had seen with Julian in the Valley o" Lycanius. He bowed very low as he entered, and when he saw how the maiden was affected by his presence, he proceeded at once to open his business. "Noble lady," he said, In a tone which might at once have banished all fear from the minds of his listeners, "I have come to you upon a most strange business, and -I will use as few words as possible in presenting it to you. My young master Is in danger." "Do you speak of Julian?" asked the princess, with a slight start. "Yes, my lady," replied the man, standing respectfully before her, with his cap in his hand. "My name Is Hobaddan, and I am Julian's lieutenant. I have been with him from the period of his earliest childhood. Since he was large enough to lift a lance, I have been his friend and.companion.. HaJSKas_^i^en^ijCLto= my care during his opening youth; and when he reached the estate of manhood I was content to serve him. I love him as a brother—aye, better than moot brothers love.—I love—him tenderly and devotedly. And all his followers love him. A thousand stout men love and worship him." What did all this mean? Why had Hobaddan come to tell her this? Ulin trembled, knowing not wherefore, and gazed anxiously into the speaker's face. "Lady," pursued the lieutenant, who had stopped a moment, as though he would assure himself that his language gave no offense, "my master is in danger. He is In the, hands of hiB deadliest enemy. He is in this c i t y - cast into a dark, deep dungeon, and Horam means to kill him!" Ulin turned pale as death, and clasped her hands upon her bosom. Her look signified that she would ask how it happened. "I will explain." continued Hobadput away some feeling of a very different character. The lieutenant evidently read her nature, for he proceeded eameetly: "Do not misunderstand me, lady, Were the work simply to set Julian free, I should not hare visited you. The work I would give Into your hands is the salvation of Damascus. If our master Is slain by the king, this city must Buffer terribly. The vengeance of those who love the chieftain will be dreadful. If Julian falls beneath the sword of the king's executioner, his followers will draw more blood from the life of this people than Polypses drew when he ravaged the city of the northern plain. To save all this, noble princess, can you not help me? Is there not some way in which you can remove the bolt from the door of the chieftain's prison-house?,r Ulin was trembling more violently than before. "0, sir," she cried, giving full scope now to her feelings, "you find me powerless to help you. I have not the influence which you ascribe to me. If I had the power, I would not hesitate If I were the jailer, and. held the keys of the prison door, I would set your master free; but, alas! I am more weak than you imagine. I am more like a prisoner than like a princess!" At this juncture the bondmaiden arose from her seat and moved forward. Her dark eyes sparkled with peculiar fire, and her fair brow worked as though the bain were revolving mighty thoughts. "Dear lady," she said, addressing her mistress, "there is but one way in which we can render the assurance which this man seeks." "Speak, Albia," said Ulin, betraying a suddenness of emotion which told very plainly how her desire ran. "Not now, my mistress," returned the girl. "I must have time: If this man can come to our garden two hours past midnight, I can tell him more." "Is there help?" asked Hobaddan, eagerly. "I cannot tell you now," replied Albia. "I can only tell you this! If there^is—aeliLJt is„.Jfi™he_Jo.ynd_onJx, in one quarter. I will look for it there; and, at the time I have mentioned, you shall know the result.

Have you ever seen an Israelite named Judah?" "I know him well," said Albia. "He Is the king's slave." "And two BIactt~nl?ft, named OsmTr' and Selim?" "I know them also," answered the bondmaiden. "They came to our camp," said Hobaddan, "and told so fair a story that they were admitted to fellowship, and the blacks were placed as servants near the person of our chieftain. But the result proved that they were sent out by Horam, and that their mission was to capture the Scourge of Damascus. And this work they have accomplished How they did it I cannot tell. I only know th3t we missed our leader, and that the three conspirators w?re missing with him. I came at once to this city, and have succeeded in discovering what I have told you. Julian is in prison, and of course the fate of death awaits him." "But sir. said Ulin. struggling to speak calmly, "what can this mean to me?" "Noble lady, 1 know that the thought of seeking you was a wild one; and perhaps you will say it was monstrous; but I could think of no other course. I know that your father was prime minister; and that you were in a position to wield some influence. There is not an officer in Damascus to whom I would dare to apply. Is there not some way in which you can help me?" "How, sir? Help you in what?" "In setting my young master free." "Indeed, sir. you have taken a step most wild. Hew shouid I, the daughter of Abcml Cassera, dare to step in between justice and its victim?" "AhHady," returned the lieutenant, "some of us think that others higher than Julian owe more to justice than does he.Il. "Still, sir," pursued Ulin, "it is most sion?" said Hobaddan. "Yes." returned Ulin. She would have >:aid more, but Albia was already at the door, and the robber had turned to follow her. CHAPTER IX. The Dark Hour. "It seemed like a dream to Ulin. She closed her eyes—and opened them —and arose—and walked across the chamber—simply to assure herself that she was awake. Was it possible that a member of the robber band had been to see her—had been within her chamber—had come, and had gone? A friend and companion of Julian's seeking her for aid in behalf of the chieftain? She was trying to make it appear real, when her bondmaiden returned. ' SKIN The door was closed, and Albia remarked, as she took a seat: "He will be in the garden two hours past midnight, my lady; and if we can help him, we must do our work as absuTd to think that I could help you In this." Did Ulin appear like one offended? No. Did she treat the name of Julian as though she deemed him worthy of the fate which threatened htm? No, 8he teemed rather to be struggling to speedily as possible." "Help." repeated Ulin, gazing into her attendants face. "How can we help Julian?' "The thing may be possible," replied Albia, in a thoughtful mood. "If you would serve him. I think a way can be opened to the arcomplishment." 1 he princess reflected a few moments, and then said: "If the mnn who was here spoke the truth, it may become my duty to help him; and certainly his story! seemed plausible. I can very easily] see hew the powerful robber band, moved to desperation by the death o? their beloved leader, might wreak most terrible vengeance upon this city: and surely, if we can be the means of averting so dire a calamity. it is our duty so to do." "I think it is." added Albia. "But.'' continued Ulin. "if Julian is in the power of the king, he must be in one of the strongest dungeons'; and a strict guard must be kept over him. How can we reach him?" "I can think of but one way," returned the bondmaiden, laying down the pKn with her finger as she proceeded. "Osmir and Selim had a hand in capturing the-young chieftain; and it is not impossible that they may have a hand in guarding him. I judge so from the fact that the capture of the robber has not yet become generally known in the city, which would certainly have been the case if the king's officers had known it. Now we havo some claim upon the gratitude of tills Osmir. and I think he is, by nature, grateful enough to repay us. H i is the man whom we found faint and dying upon the shore of the lake, and who must have died if we had npt nursed him. You remember the circumstance?" ."He had almost been hilled by som? slaves cf Aleppo," explained Albia. (To be continued.)

Aug. 5 1901 Editor Dispatch: I will now write you a few lines to let you know where and how I am. I am qnite welt at- present, and am now in the coast artillary. 1 was transfered from the cavalry to the 20th Co. Coast Artillery, formerly battery "H" 2nd Coast Artillery. But lately they have made some changes. Now all the coast artillery goes under the tittle of companies 1st, 2nd, etc., and the field artillery are Batteries 1st, 2nd, etc. The 20th is stationed behind Cabana Fortress across the harbor from; the city. We are on a sort of peninsula with the harbor on one side and the ocean on the other. Cabana is up in the harbor a few yards and old Morro Castle stands out on the extreme point. I think Cabana is a more wonderfull place than Morro. The military prison is in Cabana Fortress Then down the coast about 600 yards from Morro Castle there is a small fortress which was built by the Spanish during the war. There are some very old guns here most of them dated back in the 17th century and some are older, but we don't use these old guns, we use some more modern but even they are not the latest appearing guns. They are all Spanish make. There were 42 of us transfered from the 4 troops at Puerto Principe. We left there July 27 at G:45 a m and arrived in Havana about 8:00 p m the 28. I went over the city on a pass Saturday and took'in some of the sights. I hired a Cuban to take me for a sale over the harbor for 50c, and I went out to the Maine and it is a sad sight to see that once grand old boat laying there a hopeless mass of junk. The Cuban pointed out to me the spot where the Maria Tressa (one of the Spanish fleet) went dowu. I am going to get a camera and take some photos of the different sights around here. I like it here better than I did out at Puerto Principi and I believe I shall like the artillery better thin the cavalry, that is the coast artillery, but I don't want any of the field artillery on A n B m e r * e n e r W i l l .

The news comes from Pittsburg that - under cover of the turmoil a n d confusion of the strike the steel trust alms to carry out a plan of merciless concentration, the success of which means ^ not only the subjugation of labor, but the extinction of cities and towns. It is obviously cheaper to operate one big mill than two of half the capacity. So the mills which-are the foundation of many of the minor towns in the iron district are to be dismantled and the ' machinery moved t> centers like Chicago, Pittsburg and Cleveland. There Is no secret about this now; the work has already begun, and more towns live marked for destruction. It is simply business with the trust. If the salaries of superintendents and bookkeepers can be saved, sentimental considerations for the welfare of towns, or for the ruin of storekeepers and property owners near the doomed mills cannot weigh with the giant corporation. An order has been Issued to dismantle and remove the Dewees \\rood works in McKeesport a t once. This will be a severe blow to the town. The Dewees Wood works Is one of the oldest and best known plants in Pennsylvania.. It was founded nearly 40- years ago, and Its shops and irillls co>"-•>. ered from 12 to 14 acres. It employed an average of 000 men, but in the busiest times the pay roll carried 1,200 names. The pUint cost several million dollars. The company recently announced Its intention of expending a large sum of money in improvements* but the order to dismantle terminates that plan. The sentiment of the citizens and officials of McKeesport has been against the steel corporation, and it is believed that the latter preferred, to get out rather than attempt to resume. ---XU*i-4rmil_£teol strlke_Json. The general order of riTsideirOfhaffei\~iJl the Amalgamated Association, became effective and thousands of workers left their places to return at some indetinitc ii:ue in the future, either victorious over the ironmasters or in humble defeat. The order to strike was generally obeyed wherever the workers were organized and enrolled in the lodges of the Amalgamated-A-sjHH.daU.in. The adion ot the executive of the mine workers at-Indianapolis in resolving to suppoit the strike cheered the Amalgamated men, and they are contident tnat the federation will aid them to the fullest extent. The closing hours of labor and the opening hours of the strike lacked spectacular action. Pittsburg, which is the strike center, was calm and undisturbed. There was no excitement or violence, and the pulse of t ! ^ community was normal. This actkn? f«illmvh».T. tim Mt.'Hrwnit of President (Jumpers, in which he promises to aid" the strikers, is regarded as significant, as it is the first movement toward uniting all the organisations connected with the federation in supporting the steel strikers. In an address to (5.000 union men a t New Castle 'Saturday, President Shaffer made this formal tender for arbitration: "Now in our willingness to settle the matter we are ready to arbitrate. Let the Amalgamated Association select one man imd let the trust select ouc. the two to select a third. We will abide by the decision of the Three." This announcement was made on behalf of the strikers that on Friday an offer to arbitrate was formally submitted to the Fnited States Steel Corporation. According to this statement the offer was made to J. Plerpout Morgan, whose reply, rejecting it, was: "This is no time' for arbitration."' The citizens of Dubois have offered $1,000,000 to have the McKeesport mill moved to that place. Fnneral of the DowstKcr EmprpM, The funeral of the Ikiwager Empress Frederick occurred at Oonberg Saturday. Punctually at U o'clock p. m. the sound of muffled drums were heard and the will-of-the-wisp likv> tinkling of torches throughout the streets told the people of Crojibcrg that tne procession had started.. With uplifted torches they drew near the town when they revealed a long black massive line on the shoulders of a dozen soldiers. Then another flare revealed the well-known figure of the emperorpaciug with somber tread just 'behind the coffin. It was a weinl wonderful sight, appearing for n moment and then dissolving under the flaring torches, while on each side for a mile along the road were revealed the glittering bayonets and helmets of*the Eightieth regiment of the line, of which the dead downjrer empress WAS eolonol-in-chlef. The deep, muffled roll of the drums added to the solemnity o £ the scene. As the. precincts of the old medieval town were reached, the scene seemed more mystical. Behind the emperor followed the royal famllv save the ladles, none of whom was in the procession; the crown prince of Greece, the vrlnce of Schnumberg-LIppe, the hereditary prince of Saxe JMenlngen, Count von Zeekendorf, who was the secretary of the dowager empress, and other notables. A double file of soldiers bearing torches walked on either side of the mounters. « < * & " Y"v ; *r I**-' •v%:^m *r ummmmm. £ ^ rfc * • r o V T Tr**d Boftly; b o w t h e h e a d - I n r e v e r e n t alienee b o w !

A small haycock for stacking with a derrick is a nuisance.

Two rakefuls ninke one good cock. In hauling to the stack 1 use this riweep rake aud haul two or three cocks at a time. In this way L can keep the stackers going.

It takes, no more material to cover a high rick than a low one. A rick witti a bulge requires too much cover to protect It. Hence the sides should be nearly straight till necessary to draw in for the top. With the aid of the ueiS rick the only hard work necessary is that of the tramj»ers and stackers. It needs a man to set the foik, a man to revolve the derrick on its pivot and two men on the stack. Hoys can ride the horses te haul in the hay and the horse that works the fork. By making runners of the lower part of the frame this derrick can be drawn to different parts of the field and. from one field to another over level land without taking down the poles. The derrick should be put together with bolts, so that Jt can be tiken down and stored in shelter when not In use. If not taken down. It makes a good weather vano, but not an attractive field ornament. DAVID H.

Although we have lived here twelve years this was the first time we have had the pleasure of the trip and must admit that we were well pleased. There is no place where one cannot run a flat-bottomed row boat easily and the scenery well pays for the trip. One cannot help but wish however that some "places could beso that small steamers could dreaged ply between the junctions as Lakeland and the Bluffs making tbe different camping places on the way, some of which resemble small villages.

T h e " F i t c h " A q u a t i c C r e a m S e p a r a t o r * If you're running a dairy,—be there one cow or one hundred— your profit dedends upon the quality of cream you're getting. If you aren't getting all the cream there is in your milk, you're losing just that much money. By the old system of milk-setting you lose from ten to twenty per cent, of the cream, besides doing a lot of unnecssary work. Cold water is added to the warm milk and the sudden change in tempertnre aud consistency causes the cream and milk to separate: and because of the cream being the lighter it is forced to the top. You get all the cream in an hour after milking, your skimmilk is sweet and clean, the cream is smooth, sweet, firm and clean, and requires less than half the time formerly required to churn it. The butter is better, sweeter, and you get from ten to twenty per cent, more of it. No pans, crocks or milk cans needed, no extra labor, no waste cream. You can wash it in two minutes and have readv for the next {milking. v Taking it all in all, it saves the women's work, coats lees than one.half as much as a full equipment of pans, skimmers, jars, crocks; cans, etc., besides saving enough cream in one year to pay for itself tenfold.

Sold on trial and warranted by TEEPLE & CADWELL On Thursday last everyone for miles around came to the annual Picnic of St. Mary's parish and tbe biggest crowd was fed that bad been for years. The excellent program was carried out with the exception that W. C. Maybury of Detroit failed to put in an appearance. The reason for which will be found on this page. The stands were well patronized as well, as the Mcdocks were much sport was se*;n in the skill of some to knock down a modock. However as every three balls counted a nickel to the sorietv, skill did not cut much figure. The ball game was hotly contested, but as the ground was very uneven the score was high as it was impossible to catch "grounders." Stockbridge came off the field with tbe scalp of Iosco to the tune of 28 to 23. While the score was large the game was interesting and everyone got their moneys worth. The dance in the evening was largely attended at the 'opera house and was a source of revenue, and the young people enjoyed the evening. Altogether the picnic was attended with tbe usual success and the church netted about $350. Ed Bow era was borne for tbe picnic Aug. 15. Lucy Cnlbano is visiting in Dexter this week. A.

A dispatch had come oyer the wires aaylng that a special was coming from the east and thai a double-header would be needed to carry It over the grades. Daa Beard's No. 20 could climb a tree, and the big fellow got his orders to make the run. It was getting close to starting time and Johnny Coleman, Dan's fire boy, was growing anxious. Dan bad not shown up all morning, He was not at German Joe's, nor around the station. The dispatcher was standing in the sua looking at his watch and swearing safely to himself. He was Just on the point of putting another man on No. 20, when something white caught his eye on the hill-path that runs above the cut As it came nearer he saw It was Mollle, and right behind was Dan, clumsily picking his way over the stones. At the station Dan called out: "All ready," to 'the dispatcher, looking rather sheepish and strangely happy. "Remember, Dan," spoke Mollie, as No. 20 began to move. "Not another drop, little girl. Not another " and ie waved a brown fist hack at the girl, a the tender bumped over the BWitch to the main track. And not until the big machine dwindled to a mere bug in the distance did Mollie turn her back and disappear in the doorway. That night the special from the east was late. It crept into Lamy with one engine and that engine was not No. 20. The little knot that gathered in curiosity on the platform felt in their hearts something was impending. Johnny Coleman limped up, his head bandaged in white cloth, and looking weak and sick. "Where's Dan?" asked a little woman with a face very white. Johnny Coleman did not answer, but looked uneasily away. They were lifting something very gently from the baggage car to lay it on the platform. Johnny told as briefly as possible the details. "Making up time, we left the track at the culvert," he said. "I jumped clear, but Dan didn't get out in time. When we got him from beneath he was pretty bad. And—r" (someone was crying very softly over where Dan lay.) Johnny continued: "I guess we could ha' pulled 'im through at that But he wouldn't take the whisky we give him.

Co.; Just a handful of wooden houses in *fjssny, thrown together as if by tite haphazard hand of a careless God into 'the little pocket of the mountains that 'stand like priests around the city of •Santa Fe. Here it is that the dust «gray coaches which thunder in from .Arizona on the west, meet their brothtars from the east and exchange for a few brief moments the greetings of the way. Of course, the red clap-board eatingbouse and station are the main attractions during these arrivals and present fScenes of unwontod activity to those accustomed to the aching solitude of •the place by day or its blinking dreaminess beneath the stars at night. No one distinctly remembers Just <when or how the Girl became an insti- JL New Face Behind the Counter. Csdon at Lamy. However, they do reinemher that one September morning some years back there was a new face fcehindxthe counter in the eating-house: * face framed in dull gold hair and lighted by two blue-gray eyes, which rgssnod forever on the brink of laughter. The boys who made their home 4n the tittle clap-board affair used to »«alMier Mollie; but it was a name of -^festfr ewm devising and so* accepted *L a*«be did many other little things. with an inscrutable smile that puzzled, yet meant nothing. When the crews would come in from a heavy climb. soaked to the bone with rain and sleet, the Girl was there in a motherly way, with a stiff three fingers of whisky and a supper that lifted them clear of their weariness. Or, if on a Saturday night, the sounds of a brawl would flaunt down on the still air the Girl would walk over to German Joe's in a business- like way and scatter the drunkest of them with a quiet word and an admonnitory jerk of the sleeve that sent them sneaking out like coyotes. Then, perhaps, she would stand and smile In the doorway with her hair blowing in the wind, her eyes speaking more plainly than words that a new era had begun in Lamy. Her sway was absolute. And it was not long before every fireboy and throttle-man on the Division had had his own individual experience, tamed by the graceful slip of a girl with g9lden hair, who seemingly came from nowhere—the Angel of the Grade. This was all before Dan Beard happened in. Dan was from the Colorado hills and no angel. They had put him first on the little bunt line that runs crazily over the hills to Santa Fe. Then he was shifted to the main lins for relay, work and became a fixture at Lamy. Dan was six feet one, brown as leather and as tough, and incidentally iould drink more whisky than any man this side of Phoenix. He spent his mornings against the bar in German Joe's place, cursing out the road, from the president down. Then about ten minutes before his run began be would shuffle over to his machine and get his orders. When these were duly scanned Dan would open up No. 20 gently and sneak out of Lamy like a snake, but before the whistling post was passed he had her galloping over the rails like a frightened thing and bellowing like a bull. He became notorious as the most reckless devil on Jhe road, and everybody said that sooner or later there would be a smash somewhere up in the hills and Dan Beard would get off the line forever. But the smash didn't seem to come, and Dan's mad way continued. Then a change came. It was almost imperceptible. But gradually Dan dropped sway from the whisky and bade fair to quit It altogether. He didn't take the grades so fast and slackened up on the curves almost like the rest. Some said it was "Mollie.'* Some said ihe Division Superintendent Nobody ever really knew." That night was a lonely vigil in Lamy and along in the early dawn they buried Dan Beard. He's up there near the hill-path that runs above the cut, and can hear the 100 tonners climbing up the grade. And sometimes when the boys give the long blast for the Junction they just pull a Bhort one for Dan—the worst man on the Division. If you are ever down that way, drop in on the girl at the eating-house. She's not very stylish, and I guess perhaps her talk is a bit western, but somehow or other they seem to think flftwasflui KQv VU- - "Where's Dan?" pretty well of her in Lamy. And, b> the way, they don't call her "Mollie'; any more. It's just Dan Beard's girl— the Girl at Lamy. A Cosmopolitan Army.

He said that not only were the horses allowed the use of their heads, but they were free from this torture of high reining. There Is much meat for thought in this. The question is naturally asked, Why is it necessary to rein horses up at all? If reining is necessary in order to make the animal more useful, then it is extremely peculiar that horses in Washington do their work so well without it. Surely there is no difference between horses in Roanoke and horses in Washington when it comes to that. In fact, it is against common reason to argue that a horse or any other animal is worth more with hia head doubled back at right angles to its natural position. That being so, the practice of reining must come from a desire to be in style, a desire which is, to say the least, in this case, somewhat inconsistent, as styles change. They have changed in Washington, but the check rein is still answering its fiendish, cruel purpose here in Roanoke. One would think that people who are so zealous in following the fashions In the henght of the collars, the shape of their shoes and the size of the trousers at the knee would pay some attention to the fashion in regard to reining. They appear to believe it to be incumbent upon them to bob their horses' tails. That is purely a fad. Why not take up another as well? Horsemen discourse upon the advantages of high reining on the trotting courses. They perhaps know what they are talking about, but one docs not see them driving their thoroughbreds over the country roads or leaving them standing for hours in the sun with their heads drawn back. If asked they would most likely say that a horse which is worth having will hold its head up without artificial props, and that it is usually the cheap plug that owners are trying to prod into some sort of show that has to be reined in order 10 pass for more than a baggage wagon hack.—Roanoke (Va.)

The prosperity of the country depends still, as it always has done, and moat probably always will do, upon the. fruits <&.the earth. Centuries before the present era. corn and wine and oil were among the chief boons of the Promised Land, and though we hear little , now of the first, the other two are regaining their ancient reputation. To melons, which also were valued in ancient days, a new fruit has been added —the orange. This and the grape are now the most important products of Palestine, though the exports of the former have declined considerably in value during the last few years. Jaffa oranges, however, maintain their reputation, so that it may be hoped that the depression is only temporary.. Southern Palestine has always been noted for its vineyards. Of the principal Jewish colonies in the Jaffa district, Richon-le-Slon, Petach-Tikvah, and Ekron, on the supposed/ site of the Philistine city which last received the fatal trophy of the ark, the first is the chief one for grape growing. A fourth colony, Sarona, also near Jaffa, Is German. In all these agriculture, and especially everything connected with wine-making, is conducted on scientific principles, and the first and last have become really important centers in the trade. Richon-le-Slon has excellent works and machinery for the manufacture of wine, and great underground cellars for its storage. These last year contained about 1,100,- 000 gallons, in addition to a considerable quantity which is always kept in depot at Hamburg. Their Huge Alrtlg-ht Compartments Are Always Kept Sealed. For transportation of petroleum over sea steel tank ships are made for both crude and refined oil, says a writer in the Cosmopolitan. Most of the crude oil exported goes to France and Spain, where it is treated in local refineries, the duty imposed on refined oil by those countries being practically prohibitive. For the Oriental trade the oil is shipped in cases—two five-gallon cans crated together constituting a "case"—on sailing vessels, as the voyage around the Horn takes from 116 to 176 days, far too long a course for steam vessels. But the trans-atlantic trade is chiefly carried on in tank steamers, huge steel shells in which almost the entire" space "In the hull is devoted to carrying oil in bulk. There is a small dry compartment in the bows for ordinary freight and the crew's living quarters are put at the extreme stem, with the engines immediately forward of them. The rest of the hull is divided into from twelve to twenty air tight compartments, each of which has a capacity of about 140,- 000 gallons. The largest tank ship carry nearly 2,500,000 gallons and so powerful are the pumps by which they are controlled that such cargo can be taken on board or delivered within six hours. As these airtight compartments are kept hermetically sealed from port to port—Instead of being closed only lu an emergency, as on an ocean liner —the oil tank ships are the stanchest vessels afloat, and many a handsome sum in salvage have they earned for their owners by towing into port a vessel disabled in a storm.

The robber chleitain had been placed in one of the onost gloomy dungeons beneath the royal palace, his legs and arms loaded with chains, and his feet ehacklKd to ii bull In the fluoi.—Howlong he had been there he could not tell. Night and day were the same in the living tomb. iFood and.drink had been brought to him thrice, and a masked urate had been in to remove the tray. He Iliad butione hope of escape, and even t h a t was so feeble that It would not 'bear the entertainment. He thought it hie followers should discover where h s was, they might, possibly dare to attempt his release; but when he came to weigh all the circumstances, he dared not think they would do it. In-short, Julian had made up his mind that death was very near to him. And what hafi Ihe to live for? What, but revenge upon the King .of Damasmus? He had no parents—no relatives— nothing «an earth of his own blood which be could .claim. There might be living hi the city some .human being of tifcs kin; but he did not know of such. He loved his brave fellows; but they could do Without him. They were bold, stout men, and could look for themselves. W h a t else was there? There were -some :poor families in the mountains—some friends upon the plain—and a .few dependent ones near the xiver; but Hobaddan would care i o r litem. What else was there? The youthful chletttatn bowed !his head, and pressed hte heavily laden hands upon his heart. There was one mores—one whom he bad hoped to see again in the coming time^—one who had left an impression in Ibis soul which had warmed and quickened -his whole being. But why think of her? What could the beautiful daughter *ff Aboul Cassem be to him? In a few short days she would be the wife of his bitterest enemy. Thus mused the prisoner, standing erect, with his manacled hands folded upon his boaom, when he was aroused from his reflections by the sound of creaking bolts, and in a few moments more the door of his dungeon was opened, and the rays of a lamp penetrated the placs. Two men entered, closing the door after them; but the eyes of the chieftain were not yet used enough to the light to distinguish either thoir forms or features. Presently, however, as they addressed each other, he recognized the two/ blacks who had so fatally deceived him, and his first impulse was to raise hi* heavy chains and smite them down; but they were not near enough to be thus reached. "Osmir—3€lim," he said, "are you here?" "Yes, my master," replied' Oomir. "Have you come to kill me?" "No." "To bear me to the kin*?." "Yet," "And fee kins fears not to trust mr **Yo« see he doe* trust us." "Aye—as I trtoeted you. 0 , you are t w o ungrateful villains. When you c a m to me i n the forest* I believed your tale of woe, and took pity upon you: and I meant to he kind to you, « u d make your lot a pleasant one. I looked into your faces, and I thought you were honest. I did not trust you from your speech, but from your honest looks. However, it is past. And now what seek ye V "Good master," said Osmir, speaking earnestly, "before I tell you why we are now here, let me say to you that W4 are not without hearts, and that we have some store of honesty. Wfeen we went to your camp, we went in the service of another master, whom we were bound to serve. We had sworn that we would capture you if we could. But, sir, after we had seen you, and known you, we would have recanted had the thing been possible. We asked Judah to free us from the task, but he refused." "Why do you tell me this story now?" "That_y_ou may know the reason of our action." "You action speaks for itself. Look at these chains; and mark the fate to which I am doomed.'* "I meant not the action of the past, good master; I alluded to action that was to come." "Action to come?" "Yes. Selim and I are here to speak of your release from this dungeon. Hold—let our words be few, for the time is short. We have promised that we would lead you forth from Horam's power if the thing wjsre possible.", "Promised whom?" asked Julian. The black hesitated. He knew not that he should use the name of the princess, so he finally answered: "Hobaddan is in the city, and our promise has been sent to him. But— there is something more. If we lead you from this place, we do so in the face of great danger. We have planned for that, and have freely staked our lives In the work. But, if we succeed, and you are free, we can never more return to Damascus. If we go with you from this dungeon, we must go with you from the city, and remain with you." Julian believed that the black was speaking truly and honestly. "Certainly," be said, "If you lead me Tn safety from the bonds that now encompass me, I will give you such return as you may desire. You may remain with me, if you like, or I will give you safe conduct into the land of the Syrians." "Your word is enough, my master; and henceforth Selim and I are your servants. We change our allegiance, and the proof of our fidelity shall be manifest in this first act of our service. We have dangers to meet, sir." "Talk not of dangers," cried the chieftain. "Throw off these chains; give me a sword; and lead me to the upper world; and I ask no more. Once again I trust you, and if you prove true, my gratitude shall be your while I live?" Without further words Osmir proceeded to the work he had come to perform. Selim held the lantern, while he loosed the Irons from Julian's limbs; and very soon the chieftain stepped forth.witn his limbs free. "There is no time to waste," said Osmir, as he cast,the chains upon the floor. We have good swords at hand, and for the rest we must trust to our wit and strength. There is danger enough between this dungeon and the open air; but I am ready to meet it." "By the godc," cried- Julian, as he grasped the sword which Osmir had placed in his hand.' "I can laugh at danger now. Lead on, and let this present hour be the last of Horam's power:t »» (To be continued.) "What, then? You have the watch over mc?" A Ring-Necked Tribe. An officer of native troops was ou outpost duty -at Fort Stedman, in the Shan Highlands. Burmah, and was sent on an expedition to a wild part oif the interior, where presumably foot o f white man had never trod before. Here he came across a tribe called "Paloungs." He observed the women were decorated with curious coils of brass around neck, arms and legs, and , on inquiry found.that it was a canon of unwritten law that all the higher- grade ladies be thus adorned. He was horrified to be an eye witness of the operation, the coils being put on a young girl of 12, who lay shrieking and firmly held to the grourid while the rods were bent and hammered on. The neck coll has the effect of a gigantic spring, elongating the muscles into a curious deformity. Each well-born ringed lady has a child following her with a pannikin of water, when in hot sun, to sprinkle the coil, as the brass gets intolerably hot, and festers * the skiu into horrible sores. This is one of the most curious customs ever heard of and in spite of the pain is willingly adhered to, as showing high rank la the wearer.—London Sunday Magazine.

DISPATCH OFFICE, Detroit's Bicentenlal closes in a Blaze of fcllorj. I n his fondest dreams Monsieur Cadillac thought to leave as an heritage the lands granted him by the King of France ftt tho beautiful city of the straits. But such was not to be, and we read the new popular book "A daughter of New France" perhaps we can find some reason for this in the prophecy given by Father Estienne the grand old missionary priest who gave his life to care for the souls of tho Iudians at Wichilimackinac. One intensely cold stormy evening while Monsier de Cadifiac lived at Mackinaw he received a call from the priest who took him to task for bringing from Montreal the strong waters that steal the tongue and brains and render useless the hands of men. He said to him "formerly when the Iudians returned from t h e chase, t h e fisheries, their louj trapping expeditions they repaired first to the church to render thanks to heaven. Now, look you to-day a large baud came in with haste to outrun the approaching storm. You beheld the goodly showing they made with their peltries and what next Monsieur de Cadilac? The trader took a cask of braudy into their village and proposes a game of bowl. The stakes to be drams of liquor against their furs. Finally all the fuTS have been gambled away; poor as when they went into the woods at the beginning of the win ter. The Indians reel from the lod^e or sink down upon the floor. What have you to say to this Monsieur de Cadilac? What have I to say? I deem it necessary that the strength upon whose labors the prosperity of the settlement largely depends shall be forfieted by a small meRSure of brandy. If the dogs.of Indians drink to excess, surely I am uot tc blame. "Monsieur le Commandant I make no comment upon your theory as far as it concerns the officers and soldiers of the garrison. F o r myself I never touch spirits believing example to be more potent than precept,' answered the missionary. And, at least, the drink that the Indians so aptly name "fire-water" is not necessary for them. Our lake Indians their fathers before them, their grandsires back to their remote ancesters have en dured the rigors the climate, the exposure of trapping expeditions, have broken the ice of the straits to spear fish for food, and yet have managed to exist without the drink wherewith you have taken so much trouble to provide for them. "There is no contingency which justifies the doing of even a little wrong," said Father EBtienne with dignity. "I ask yon is the work of the fouuder of this mission and that of the misionaries who came after him, down to this day, is all this to be undone? Have we opened the way here for your only that you may set in the path of the Indian a temptation that be knew not hitherto, that with your accursed strong waters you should debase him beneath t h e level of the brute creature?" In a towering rage Cadilac sprang to his feet. " I will not brook such speech" he said hotly. "As co this matter understand me your business here is to christianize the red men mid to minister to the spiritual needs of the white settlers of post as best you may. I furnish brandy to t h e Indians because I think best to do so." Father Estienne retained his self control as he replied, "You are the commandment here and I recognize your oivil authority; but as to this beiug the end of the matter I t issue between us, I warn yon that ench is very far from, the case. If, either for the sake of personal gaiu or commercial enterprise, you continue, as now, ever ready ¢0 quench the savage thirst you have aroused with the potion of death, the insidnous fire water—if you permit them to be barter not only fuis but their immortal souls for a dram,—believe me retribution will come, You may grow rich, Sieur Cadilac,—ay you will rich" "ay" h e repeated, in the same clear modulated tones the Indians loved, "you will grow from here you will establish a fine colony; moneys and lands„and honors will be yours; but beware, there will come a day when these honors and possessions will pass from you, your friends will turn against you, you will die in poverty, your children will be friendless and no one of your name will remain in the city you will found." As he uttered these words the hand of the consecrated priest fell to his side, the light of prophecy died out of his eyes and again h e became the humble missionary. "I have said what I came to say" he added quietly. Forthwith he threw his furcoat about his shoulders, drew his capouch over his head, flung open the door and passed out into the darkness and sleet, leaving as uncomfortable a storm behind him.

This mine is located between the Armory and the Savings Bank building, on the property lately acquired by the D., Y., A. A. & J. Ry. for i-s waiting room. The find was made Tuesday. For many years there has been a photograph gallery located in the west store of the Savings Bank block. Lewis, Gibson & Clark and later Berryman have in turn had their studios there. The principal chemical used in makphotographic negatives is silver m^ato. It man expensivechemical by reason of the precise white metal being the base of the combination. For years and years the silver nitrate washings from the developing room have been allowed to pass down through a pipe and into an old unused cistern located ou the vacant lot above referred to, The cister n has cement walls and bottom, so that nothing could get away except by evaporation. The bottom of this cistern U now covered to a considerable thickness with sediment mostly comingfrom the photographer's developing room. This sediment has been examined and has been found to be very rich with silver.

We do l o t believe in deep cultivation for corn after it has grown more than three or four Inches high. By that time it has begun to seed its roots out; bence to work the soil deep after this has begun is to break those roots and to check the growth. There may be a period in the growth of a plant or tree when a root pruning is beneficial, but so little is known about it that we do not care to experiment with It in a haphazard way. But in a year like the present ^deep cultivation is likely to break more corn roots than-ID a rtry and warmer season. The corn root nevus FOR SMALL INVESTORS.

Working the soil as deep as the' manure used, will make it fertile before planting the seed and as thoroughly as possible after the corn begins to grow, but not more than three inches deep between the rows, and in a season like this we would prefer not to go more than two inches deep, says American Cultivator. — B r i n g yotrr—job work t o office.

With the smallest amount of capital one can go into the business, especiallj if there is a suitable place at band foi the work. One can rent a small poul try farm and then learn by experience, even raising fruits and vegetables the first few years,to help pay the expenses ef living. Ultimately.* however, the ambition should be placed on chicken and egg raising for the purpose of mas tering it as a specialty. L e t o n e beginjMtli«M)hegsand find out the first season what can be done with that" number. From this stock he can prepare his next 'season's increase without further callingjupou his capital. By method of exchange of eggs with neighbors near or* distant new blood can b£ introduced, and there will not be much danger of close inbreeding. In many places there is a -regular system of exchange of eggs in this way, and a t very little expense new breeds are constantly being added. From the 50 hens of the first season the flock can be increased to 200 for the second. If you have been successful with the f>0, you are probably prepared the second year to handle 200. especially if proper houses and yards have been prepared in advance. That is very essential, and throughout' the whole development of the business never neglect to increase the quarters of the hens and chickens in proportion to their increase in numbers. "With plenty of accommodations and fair success the second year the beginner might well increase his stock to 500 for the third year. The fourth year he mijjht go up to 700 or 800 and the fifth season round out the business with an even 1,000. When you have reached that number, the plant is a pretty good sized one, and its further increase must be made gradually. There are poultry farms ef 5.000 and 10,000 hens, but the owners have learned by careful experience hew to handle such numbers in the most economical way. Any beginner, of course, can grow up to such proportions if be lias the push and go and the "good business common sense which enables him to raise and sell to the best possible advantage, concludes an American Cultivator correspondent.

Sow Abort the Middle of Jr.ly. I have been sowing tur.nip seed in my cornfield for nearly 50 years. On« year I sowed 30 pounds of seed on 30 acres and harvested about 10,000 bushels of turnips and a good crop of corn, says a writer in Orange Judd Farmer. Plant the conn in straight rows and keep the cultivator going until about the middle of July. Mien'sow the turnip seed directly after the last cultivation. If two or three dashing showers fall in a week or so. no covering is needed. If my ground is ready and showers are in prospect I hasten to sow my seed. If no rain comes, the seed must be lightly covered, much as you would clover seed. Two »r three boards fastened together and drawn between the rows of corn cover__the seed very nicely. A strap leaved turnip ef the best variety will grow almost 'anywhere provided the plant can get a start. I want my tunnips for feeding all the way from September to February, and I want a lot of them. Bushel for bushel they are worth more than mangels during this time. Give the cattle and sheep.plenty of turnips, and no medicine' will be needed. • Turnips should be stored as near the stock a* possible, so they can be easily fed. Any place where ventilation can be controlled and where frosts can be kept out will answer. I have a cellar under the driveway of my barn 10 by 32 by 10 feet, which I have filled with roots more than once. Be careful, however, not to put any turnips into your cellar after they have been out on the ground on a frosty night A few bushels injured-by freezing will start a heat that will destroy all of them. ^ , W« tbe tt*d«r4ifn^, *> b*rtfcy acrree to refund the money on ft 9t cent bottle of Down's Elixir if it OOfJ not cure an j ccugb, cold, wboopinf con ah, or throat trouble* We alt* guarantee Down's Elixir to enre eon somption, when used according to di« rections. or money back.

The birth took place, a few miles this side of Adrian at nbout 10 o'clock. The child Is a boy and weighed seven pounds. Some kind-hearted passenger took up a collection for the youngster which netted $20. Mi's. Alvln was. on her way to visit at Toint au Chene. Canada. As soon as possible, word was telegraphed to Adrian and Mrs. Alvln wa^a4^>»*ie*Uta^^DL^Kh:kuatriclv of that town, who came on at once. She was taken to the House of Providence, Detroit, on her arrival there. It has been suggested that the boy be named Adrian Wfibasih Alvln, so constructed that it can be wheeled on terra firma whenever its occupant gets tired of being on the water. The London Lancet, a high medical authority, says that the habit of s?lfdruggging has grown to be, a source of untold mischief.

One federal officeholder recently made an appeal for screens for the building_ where he worked, saying that within a hundred yards were three livery stables, one mule boarding house, one horse sanitarium with operating table, and one fish morgue. He added that his handwriting had been spoiled by the constant endeavor to write and keep off flies at the same time.

The Strike. The steel workers were rejoicing Saturday over tho fact that the MK- . wnukee workers in the Bay View plant of the Illinois Steel Co. decided to strike. though there were reports that the MeKeosport men might go back to their work, thus adding a weakening of forces in the east. It in , „ said that the plant at Bay View will ^ be shut down indefinitely and about 1,- 400 men will be thrown out of work. Leaders of the Amalgamated association declare the action o f ^ i b e Bay' LVicjvy. men will h a v e a u "important _ _ l»earlng upon the sltuatlbn. They claim that South Chicago will be influenced, in the same direction. Of the 1.400 men who were employed at the Buy View mills, 21!> belong to the Amalgamated association. They are the tonnage nien. Besides the union men, there were 200 other skilled men employed. The engineers and roll turners formerly belonged to the Anialganuited association and are in symp a t i c with them. Employment was given to 1.000 unskilled men. 200 of whom worked In the bldst furnaces. The wages paid the men who have gone out of this plant amounted, to $1)0,000 per month. The news that the Bay View men were to stand by the Amalgamated association was a surprise to the South Chicago workers. Some in the streets declared that at Inst the local workers would be forced to quit. There were others, however,^ who asserted that it was too late now to act. Should they strike now, It was declared, the Amalgamated association would see to it that they were taken back at less pay than when they quit, The now« that the Milwaukee men had decided to cast their fortunes with the strikers, supplemented by the wir ed announcement that the steel men in tho Riverside plant at Wheel lug had voted to strike, awakened new enthusiasm in the ranks of the Amalgamated 'association and It?* followers In Pittsburg. Tliere is a strong possibility that there will be an early break in the ranks of the strikers at McKeesport. Many of the unorganized men have become dissatisfied and make no secret of their threat to go boldly back to the National Tube Co. and ask for their places just'as soon as they gain sufficient following to withstand pressure from the strikers or are given a gunrant< • of personal protection. Several of them, in stating their position, say that they have everything to lose and ncViing to gain by staying out. They are merely out in ah effort to strengthen the. hand of the Amalgamated association. When tlie con-test ends, they say. they can see nothing in it for them but loss of wages and possibly a loss of place. The great western works of th<w American Tin Plate Co. at Joliet never will be reopened. This declaration was made by a representative of the combine located In Joliet. His statement ho said was based on positive information, although he declined to pive his authority. Following the utterance came news of the transfer of the general manager and of the foreman of the plant to other places. The Do^vasrer-EmpreHi'C Hnnlmrul. A story lias reached Paris that Emperor William of Germany has conferred upon Count Von Seekendorff, the alleged husband of tho dowager empress, the grand cordon of the Hohenzollern Family Order. This is regarded as a tactful act of mollification on the part of his majesty. Seckendorfi'. though bitterly protesting, was not permitted to exercise the rights of a husband, to act as chief mourner at the services over the empress' remains. He defied the kaiser and threatened to appeal to the law of Prussia for protection. The kaiser is now fearful of seandnls. He has become unusually j sensitive on this point, and very nut *• urally sees that the biggest scandal of all concerning the royal family of Germany would be in exposures by Count Yon Seckendorff. Hence this decoration, a most unusual one to be conferred on any but a meml>er of royalty. TIJC kaiser has forbidden the Berlin journals to discuss tho matter. A Cleveland Horror. Fire caused by a boiler explosion,, early Wednesday, destroyed a Cleveland temporary water works crib two miles out In Lake Erie, resulting In the death of at least 10 men, while two others were probably fatally Injured. In addition to a large nnmber of workmen, who were In tne crib. I t others were nt work In the tnnnel leading from*It 200 feet below the bottom of the lake. As air which was pumped from the crib to supplyvthe men working In the tunnel was cut off as a result of its destruction, It "was' at first supposed that these had all perished. Subsequently, however, nine "were rescued after heroic work on the part of fellow workmen. One, and possibly two men, are supposed to be lying dead in the tunnel, too far away from the shaft to b * reached.

So be acquired the tittla In war. .There to a contingency which might involve the United States in difficulties with foreign countries. Both Ven- •«Stteta*md Colombia have large foreign Jdebts, on most of which interest has'not been paid for years. Bonds /•presenting: this indebtedness are held < chiefly* by England and Holland. If, in order to protect these bondholders from''further loss by a disastrous war, either of these nations should inter- :fere It te probable that the Monroe doctrine would be involved and the United f States would cry "Hands off." l a Use naeantiiae-ii may be. well t o 4 • explain that the popular idea that this tie a mere farce comedy revolution is not altogether well founded. In the .first,place the territory of the Republic Of'Colombia is ten times as large taa that of the State of Illinois, while Its population is only 6,000, against '4,800,000 in Illinois. In the second placetthe attacks on the present government of Colombia have been so 'many during recent years that the Colombian army has been greatly en-. 'larged. It is now said to consist of upward cof 40,000 well-drilled and experienced soldiers, who are under the • command of able generals. The government is conservative, and its 1 friends say that it is devoted to building up the trade and commerce of the ^republic On the other hand, even his bitterest enemies admit that General Urlbe- Unoe, the revolutionist leader (reported/ dead, bAit report is not credited) is ,& man of spotless personal character, mho .'is actuated by the purest motives. over the mountain trails, and to endure the hardships of camp life in the splendid physique and the courage which has enabled him to win no less than forty-six pitched battles, coming off victorious and scatheless in every one he has been engaged in. In the meantime his ambitious parents saw that the boy's education was not neglected. After he had finished at the little mountain school he was sent to the great national university of Bogota, the capital of Colombia, which Is also a mountain city located far in the interior and thousands of feet above the sea level. Here the young man graduated and then went back to his mountain home to practice GENERAL URIBE-URIBE. :He is at the same time one of the most picturesque characters ever developed |>n the isthmus. He is only 40 years <>ld, tall, athletic, and unsmiling. There is nothing of the adventurer or swashbuckler in his appearance. Ho is a man who takes everything seriously and who know3 how to work hard and to dare greatly. He came to the United States last February with a number of his staff, including R. Perez, his private secretary, whose wife is a Chicago girl. Even at that time the revolution was well under way, and General Uribe-Uribe directed its operations for several weeks from his profession as a lawyer. Almost Immediately he was chosen by his fellowtownsmen to represent his native town in the national Chamber of Deputies, corresponding to the lower house of Congress In this country. Uribebribe soon developed great powers as an orator, writer, and leader in the House. The Conservative party was in control of the government, and Urlbe thundered in vain in favor of a free press, free speech, and free education. These reforms were resisted by the government, and finally the people of Urlbe-Uribe's mountain home rose in revolt. Their first revolution was In 1876, and Lribe threw himself at once Into" their cause. He soon won a wide reputation as a brave and able soldier. A second revolt occurred in 1885, and Jn this struggle Uribe won great fame, becoming the leader of the insurgent forces. Time apd time again, at the head of only 300 mountaineers, Uribe won victories over larger numbers of government troops. Once when a few of the men under his command mutinied Uribe shot the leader with his own hand and reduced the other to submission in a few minutes. Finally he was captured and thrown Into prison. When he was brought to trial his defense wa3 so logical and eloquent that he was acquitted without a moment's hesitation. In the latter part of 1899 another insurrection broke out at the head 'of which Uribe promptly placed himself During this struggle, which has been almost continuous ever since, Uribe performed many feats of daring and heroism. On one oecasion the rebel army lay on one side of a stream facing a greater force of tho enemy. A narrow bridge formed the only passage way over the deep river. Uribe finally announced that at a certain hour he personally, with the first ten volunteers, would cross that bridge and lead a charge on the unsuspecting army. The first volunteer was a negro sergeant, whom Uribe took by the hand, and, leading him out before his army, cried out: "Soldiers, this is Sergeant Zuleta. who will cress the bridge, hand in hand with me. I name him Captain for his bravery." Forthwith the whole rebel army volunteered, and when the time came the general and the negro sergeant led what proved to be a successful charge against the rebel army. During his stay in the United States his Broadway hotel. While in, this General Uribe-Uribe was anxious to country he made friends with many ! explain what led, him to take up arms prominent business men. who were j against the government of his native impressed with his plain sincerity and ; ]and. He declared that personal ambihis patriotic fervor. Uribe-Uribe was born up in the mountains of Antochia, in the interior of Colombia and on the crest of the Andes. His mother was famous for her beauty, while his father was an athlete and rancher. Many patriots ^*nd fighters for liberty have been born in the mountains, and the friends of Uribe-Uribe point out that bi3 was the proper birthplace for a man destined t o rescue his country from the hands of "corrupt and tyrannical politicians." While a boy he was taught by his father to break and ride the wild horses of the hills, to .take long tramps tion had nothing to do with it. On the conthary, he declared he was fighting for the oppressed people of Colombia. In answer the friends of the present government enter a general denial. They say that the frequent revolutions have been the cause of the depreciation of the currency, and they declare Uribe to be a fraud and an ally of Dictator Castro of Venezuela, whose idea it is to combine Equador, Venezuela, and Colombia into one government, with himself at the head as Emperor. They say that Uribe is in the pay pf British bondholders. - ftf Bomth Aaawtea* Revolt., Regarding the situation in the Venezuela- Colombia disunite. President Castro has informed President McKlnley: "It is the povernmeat's opinion that the conservatives, of Colombia, probably led by ruinous and wicked paMsloiiH,, have resolved to assist in a revolutionary movement against Venezuela and her government. When the government of Venezuela was surprised by the first and second Invasions of her frontier by 6,000 and 2,000 men, respectively, the invaders were victoriously expelled by the government and the people of Venezuela. Since said events, 10,000 men' have been massed. 011 the frontier for the defense and integrity of Venezuela and its national honor. These are quite apart from her active service troops 0« other parts of the frontier, ng well as national troops scattered over the republic and the reserve militia now under arms. Venezuela has not accepted the invasion as an interontjonal attack by the i>eople of Colombia against the people of Venezuela, but, knowing .to* renl source, recogmlze in It the work of the conservative government of Colombia ajrninst the majesty of the nation of Venezuela." There are Indications that there will bo n considerable gathering of foreign warships at the isthmus, and that American ships will lx» brought into UNITED STATK8 CONSULATE AT COLON. A Schley Surprise. There Is said to be a big surprise In store for the navy department when the court of inquiry meets to Investigate the charges against Schley. Jere Wilson, the noted lawyer of Washington, will be one of Schley's counsel, and It 4s said that former Secretary of the Navy Benjamin F. Tracy, of New York, will also appear on that side of the case. That is the surprise which may worry Secretary Long. Gen. Tracy is one of the greatest lawyers in the United States, and was Harrison's secretary of the navy, and it is whispered that his part In the cases will be so to handle the witnesses as to reveal political favoritism and petty department scandals which will not only assist to create the impression that Schley is the victim of bureau jealousies, but will also embarrass the administration. It is intimated by Schley's friends that Tracy will so develop the bmeautmtlc methods of the navy department before the court as to create a sensation if not a naval scandal and compel a complete overhauling of the department. Wealthy men in New York and Boston have taken up the cause of Schley and stand ready to contribute all the money needed for the employment of counsel and it Is Intimated that there will be other great lawyers in the case when it comes to a hearinjar.

The water Is over three feet deep in the room and it is Btill rising. The wind is blowing at the rate of fifty miles an hour and we look for worse things tonight. The business district is deserted." Here the wire failed and nothing more couid be heard from hiin. The water at 3 o'clock was reported aS high as in the great flood of 1893, although at that time the wind was not so high. From Mobile to Fort Morgan is thirty-five miles, and on both sides of the bay summer resorts and summer houses are located. These were, it is believed, in the direct path of the storm, {t is feared that there has been some loss of life on the islands in Mississippi Sound, just outside of the bar below Fort Morgan. These islands, inhabited by French fishermen, are only four or five feet above the water under ordinary stage, and were the scene of great loss of llf,e in 1893. Twenty miles of Louisville & Nashville track through Tensas swamp, west of Mobile, is under water. From reports of damage done between New Orleans and Mobile, it is believed several days will elapse before the wires are restored outside. A dispatch received from Mobile early in the afternoon read: "Under a forty-mile gale the river here has overflowed the cotton wharf and Front and Commerce streets. Water street is flooded two feet deep between St. Michael and Congress. Rowboats were employed to bring out members of the Cotton Exchange at noon." New Orleans, La., Aug. 17.—A report from Port Eads says all the people living on the east bank of the river have moved up to "Jump," fifteen miles from the mouth of the river. The house of George Cobden, half a mile above the quarantine station, was swept away and fifteen members of the family, including nine children, drowned. The quarantine buildings were badly damaged, but no one injured. The big towboat Chamberlain was driven high in the marsh. Her crew are safe. The government boat General Reese is believed to have been lost. Captain O'Brien's house was swept away, but ho was on the boat, which was believed to be outside. The pile driver at Port Eads was sunk. Up to midnight everything seemed to be safe at the Mississippi coast P r o b a b l o H a r d c * .

Another man* named Demaro, heard the dispute, but could not distinguish the words. It waa in this vicinity A billy was found.

Montgomery, Ala., Aug. 17.—A report from Mobile received over a railroad wire says that the mill cf the Dixie Lumber company, two miles north of Mobile, was carried away by the storm, and several employes were killed. This is said to be the largest lumber mill in Mobile. District Observer Chaffee of the weather bureau says of the storm conditions: "While the storm is moving slowly northeastward, it has increased its energy, the barometer reading as low as 29.44 inches at New Orleans, and its velocity of revolution around the center is steadily increasing. "There will be no settled weather over this region until the gulf storm moves over to the north, which will probably be by this afternoon or tonight."

If you're running a dairy,—be there one cow or one hundred— your profit dedends upon the quality of cream you're getting. If you aren't getting all the cream there is in your milk, you're losing just that much money. By the old system of milk-setting you lose from ten to twenty per cent, of the cream, besides doing n*tbt of unnecssary work. | Cold water is added to the warm milk and the sudden change an temperture nud consistency causes the cream and milk to separate: and because of the cream being the lighter it ia forced to the top. ' You get all the cream in an hour after milking, your skimmilk is sweet and clean, the cream is smooth, sweet, firm and clean, and requires less than half the time formerly required to churn it. The butter is better, sweeter, and you get from teu to twenty per cent, more of it. No pans, crocks or milk cans needed, no extra labor, no waste cream. You can wash it in two minutes and have ready for the next .milking. : Taking it all kn all> it saves the womeu's work, costs leas 'than one.half as much as a full equipment of pans, skimmers, jars, crocks, cans, etc., beside* saving enough cream in one year tn pay for itself tenfold.

The most of those who become ministers are the sons of those who had terrific struggle to get their everyday bread. The collegiate and theological education of that son took every luxury from the parental table for eight years. The other children were more scantily apparelled. The son at college every little while got a bundle from home. In it were the socks that mother had knit sitting up late at night, her sight not as good as once It was. And there also were some delicacies from the Bister's hand for the voracious appetite of a hungry student, The-father swung the heavy cradle through the wheat, the sweat rolling from his chin bedewing every step of the way, and then sitting down under the cherry tree at noon thinking to himself, "I am fearfully tired, but it will pay if I can once see that boy through college, and if I can know that he will be preaching the gospel after I am dead." The younger children want to know why they can't have this and that, as, others do, aad the mother says, "Be patient, my children, until your brother graduates, and then you shall have more luxuries, but we must see that boy through." The years go by, and the son has been ordained and is preaching the glorious gospel, a n d a great revival comes, and souls by scores and hundreds accept the gospel from the lips of that young preacher, and father and mother, quite old now, are visiting the son at the village parsonage, and at the close of a Sabbath of mighty blessing father and mother retire to their room, the son lighting the way and asking them if he can do anything to make them more comfortable, saying if they want anything in the night just to knock on the wall, and then, all alone, father and mother talk over the gracious influences of the day and say: "Well, it was worth all we went •WcpclWsff"f?i iffiiwr^^ times carry i* guns looking through rfttlumr s ^ t f t f l h ^ the porthofce *eady to open tottfe, but the tiny avail on the Kile aeemt to he armed with aft the guns of thunder that bombarded «Jlnai at the lawgiving.

They have positive evidence that he is in the house of one • of the Christians, the balcony of whose home reaches over the wall. "Here he Is! Here he is!" The vociferation and blasphemy and howling of the pur- -4mers are at the front door. They break in. "Fetch out that gospelizer -- and let us hang his head on the city • gate. Where Is he?" The emergency eras terrible. Providentially there was • a good stout basket in the house. Paul's friends fasten a rope to the lfcasket. Paul steps Into it. The basket tts lifted to the edge of the balcony on V i e wall, and then while Paul holds the rope with both hands his friends lower away, carefully and cautiously, slowly but surely, farther down and farther down, until the basket strikes the searfh and the apostle steps out and ;afoot and alone starts on that famous •missionary tour the story of which has ; astonished earth and heaven. Approp r i a t e entry in Paul's diary of travels: "Through a window in a basket was I ,-let down by the wall." * observe first on what a slender ten- 'wre great results hang. The rope-maker w h o twisted that cord fastened to t h a t lowering basket never knew how Eauch would depend upon the strength -of it. How if it had been broken and t h e apostle's life had been dashed out? "What would have become of the Chris- 'tlan church? All that magnificent "missionary work in Pamphylla. Cappadocia, Galatia, Macedonia would never ''have been accomplished. All his writi n g s that make up so indispensable and enchanting a part of the New 'Testament would never have been •vrritten.

It was a hard pull, but we held on till the work was done. The world may not know it, but, mother, we held the rope, didn't we?" And the voice, tremulous with joyful emotion, responds: "Yes, father, we held the rope. I feel my work is done. Now, Lord, Iettest thou thy servant depart in peace, for mine eyes have seen thy salvation." "Pshaw!" says the father. "I never felt so much like living in my life as now. I want to see what that fellow Is going to do, he has begun so well."1 Something occurs to me quite personal. I was the youngest of a large family of children. My parents were neither rich nor poor.* Four of the sons wauled a college education, and four obtained It, but not without great home struggle. We never heard the old p*jople say once that they were denying tl-emselves to effect this, but I remember now. that my parents always looked tired. I don't think they ever got rested until they lay down in the Soraerville cemetery. Mother would sit down in the evening and say, "Well, I don't know what makes me feel S3 tired." Father would fall Immediately to sleep, seated by the evening stand. overcome with the day's fatigues. About 35 years ago the one and about 37 years ago the other put down the burdens cf this life, but they still hold the rope. Recognition of Blessing*. 0 men and women, you brag sometimes how you have fought your way irv the world, but I think there have been helpful influences that you have never fully acknowledged. Has there not been some influence in your early or present home that the world cannot see? Does there not reach you from among the New England hills or from the western prairie or from southern plantation or from English or Scottish or Irish home a cord of influence that has kept you right when you would have gone astray and which, after you had made a crooked track, recalled you? The rope may be as long as 30 years or 500 miles long or 3,000 miles long, but hands that went out of mortal sight long ago still hold the rope. You want a very swift h o n e , and you need to rowel him with sharpest spurs and to let the reins lie loose upon the neck anc to give a shout to the racer if you are going to ride out of reach of your mother's prayers. Why, a ship crcr&ftjp the Atlantic In six days can't sail away from that. A sailor -finds them on the lookout as he takes h's place and finds them on the mast as he climbs the ratlines to disentangle a rope in the tempest and finds them swinging on the hammock when he turns in.

Charles O. Finney said to a dying Christian, "Give my love t o S t Paul when you meet him." When you and I meet him, as we will, I shall ask him to introduce me to those who got him out of the Damascene peril. We go into long sermons to prove that we will be able to recognise people ir heaven, when there is one reason we fail to present, and that is bettor than all—God will introduce us. We shall have them all pointed o u t You would not be guilty of the impoliteness of having friends in your parlor not introduced, and celestial politeness will demand that we be made acquainted with all the heavenly household. What rehearsal of old times and recital of stirring reminiscences! If others fail to give introduction, God will take us through, and before our first 24 hours In heaven—if it were calculated by earthly timepieces—have passed we shall meet and talk with more heavenly celebrities than in our entire mortal state we met with earthly celebrities. Many who made great noise of usefulness will sit on the last seat by the front door of the heavenly temple, while right up within arm's reach of the heavenly throne will bs many who, though they could not reach themselves or do great exploits for God, nevertheless held the rope.

Think of refusing a thousand sovereigns for every one laid down! But then, of course, one must remember the risk we publishers run. It is a fact that, of every hundred songs offered to me, barely one is worth the cost of printing and publishing; and a song that will yield a few hundreds of profits is literally one in a thousand. Among songs that have produced more than £10,000 in profit I should place first Sullivan's world famous 'Lost Chord.' This song was substantially composed in less than an hour, and for that hour's work the composer received in royalties quite £10,000—probably the largest sum any man has ever earned in an hour by his brain. Then, again, that ever gree,n song, 'In Old Madrid/ must have brought its publisher a profit of nearly £20,000 by this time, for its popularity was at the flood for many years. Among other gold mines I should place 'The Better Land,' 'The River of Years,' 'Forever and Forever,' 'Goodby,' 'The Devout Lover,' 'Nancy Lee'—to mention only half a dozen, the aggregate profjts from which cannot have been a penny less, than £fift,ft00.

"I was for 30 years a Christian invalid and suffered all the while, occasionally writing a note of sympathy for those worse off than I, and was general confidant of all those who had trouble, and once In awhile I was strong enough to make a garment for that poor family in the back lane."

"I was the mother who raised a whole family of children for God, and they are out in the world Christian mer* chants, Christian mechanics, Christian1 wives, and I have had full reward for all my toil." Let us pass on in the circle of thrones. "I had a Sabbath school class and they were always on my heart, and they all entered the kingdom of God, and I am waiting for their arrival." But.who are thou, the mighty one of heaven on this other throne? "In time of bitter persecution I owned a house in Damascus,, a house on the wall. A man who preached Christ was hounded from street to street and I hid him from the assissins, and when I found them breaking into my house and I could no longer keep him safely I advised him to flee for his life, and a basket was let down over the wall with the maltreated man In it, and I was one who helped hold the rope." And I said: "Is that all?" And he answered: "That is all." And while I was lost in amazement I heard a sfrong voice that sounded as though it might once have been hoarse from many exposures, and triumphant as though it might have belonged to one of the martyrs, and it said: "Not many mighty, not many noble are called, but God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty, and base things of the world and things which are despised hath God chosen, yea, and things which are not to bring to naught things which are. that no flesh should glory in his presence.** And I looked to see from whence the voice came, and lo! It was t h e very one who had said, "Through a window in a basket was I let down by tha wall." Nothing unimportant In your life or mine.

Of course, if a song has anything in it, it is a fatal thing to sell it outright to a publisher, as so many composers have done, to their lasting regret..

" W r o w t pan up where a guard is always kept" answered Osmir; "and ooff only hope is that we may be able to fall upon the sentinels, and overcome them, without creating disturbance enough for a general alarm." • "Whatever can be accomplished by strength of arm, we will accomplish," aaid the robber; "and I think we can be Shrewd enough not to strike until we see that the blow shall fall sure- 44You can depend npoa us," added Osmir, stopping while Selim opened a door. "We have" already placed our lives in jeopardy, and only a successful exit from the palace can now save aa. But, sa 2 told you before, there is danger in the way." ,fYou have counted tho chances?" 'Tea." "And are yon ready to bide the resuit?" * "Yea," • T h e n let us meet the worst. If you, to set me free, are ready for the risk, I should be much more so." At this juncture Selim, who had opened a door, and gone on a few steps in advance, came hurriedly back, with a look of alarm in his face. "I bear footsteps in the passage overhead," he said, in a whisper. "Are you sure?" "Yes. I heard them very plainly." "What Is the passage of which you apeak?" asked Julian. "It is one through which we must pass," replied Osmir, "and one in which we had expected to find no obstacle." 'It may be," suggested Selim, "thai '\-i fr •••» a new guard has been set there." "That cannot be," asserted Osmir. "I came through there only a short time since, and the place was empty. Hark —I hear the steps from here—and I think? they are coming this way. Hold, a moment Remain where you are, and I will find what this means." % Thus speaking, Osmir glided away into the darkness, towards the point Where the stairs led down from the upper passage. After an absence of a few minutes he returned, and his first exclamation told that he was excited. "The king is coming!" "The king!" repeated Julian, in a quick, deep whisper. "Yes—and two . of his guards are with him. Borne one else came as far as the uead of the stairs with them, but I think only the king and the guards are descending." "He must be coming to see me," said Julian. "it must be so/' answered Osmir; "for there is nothing else here for him to see, save uare damp walls and toads." "Hark! Here they come. I hear their, voices, and can see where the rays of their lantern breaks in the gloom." It was Selim who said this, and as he spoke he drew back, and hid his own lantern beneath the skirt of his tunic. Our adventurers, from where they stood, could see the foot of the steps at the far end of the passage; and presently they saw two men descend, the foremost one bearing a lantern, and wearing the robes of the king, while the other seemed to be an officer of the household. "I see now," said Osmir, as he gained a view of the approaching men. "I wis mistaken. The guards have been left behind, and this is Benoni, one of the captains of the guard, who comes with the king." The robber chieftain was for a moment undecided as to the course he should pursue. Once his sword was half drawn from its scabbard; but Osmir, who heard the movement, seemed to have a better idea. "My master," he whispered, touching Julian upon the arm, "let us draw' back out of sight, and allow them to pass. They will certainly keep on to the dungeon we have left, and we win follow them thither." "You are right," replied the chieftain. "They,will be completely in our power when they have passed us." Just back of where our trio -stood was the door by which they had last pasted, and^poa one side-was a deep to the hiding place, with bis lantern held carefully before him, and his head •bowed, as though he ^ was fearful that he might make a misstep. He walked *lowty« and his frame shook with a pet'oeptlble tremor. When he reached the door he stopped, and turned toward* hfs companions. "Benoni," he said, "I think you may remain here. This is the last passage, and t will go the rest of the way alone." "I had better accompany you to the end, sire." "No—1 prefer to go alone." "But," urged the captain, "the way is Tough and dubious, and you. may miss your step." # "Out upon thee for an ass!" cried the Xing, indignantly. "Do you think_my step is growing feeble? I tell thee it was never stronger. I will go the rest of the way as I have said. I shall find Selim at the door of the dungeon, and he will render me such assistance as I may need there. I must see this prisoner alone. He possesses a secret which I must fathom before he loses his bead." "f beg thee, sire, be careful." "Peace, good Benoni. Don't fret on my account I know what I do. I'll find out the story of this robber's life, and then his head shall come off right quickly. Stay, you here, and await my return." , Thus speaking, the king moved on, and when the sound of his uncertain, stumbling footfall could be no longer heard, Julian reached forth until his hand touched one of his companions. "Who is this?" he asked, in a hushed whisper. It was Selim. "There is no time to lose. The captain must be disposed of quickly. Uncover your lantern, and I will throttle him." Selim did as directed, and as soon as the rays of light fell upon the captain, the latter started to gaze about him. But his 'free-will movements were quickly terminated by a blow from the first of the robber chieftain, which niche la the .wall, which had evidently bem constructed for tot reception, ot rubbish. Into this they quickly glided. Selim SQ effectually, cloaking his. Ian* teife that iWt a ray oT Wgat escaped la a Uttle while the king came near ^ relied mm to the floor, and before be could move or cry out, he was securely bound, and Osmir's sash passed over his mouth. "Now," cried Julian, "for the king. He will be an easy Bubject to dispose of." "And how will you dispose of him?" asked Osmir. For an instant a dark thought struggled through Julian's mind. Here was an opportunity to put his worst enemy out of the way, and, at the same time, free the world from a ruler who had ceased to do justly. But the thought was not long entertained. The soul of the chieftain was above the doing of such a deed. Osmir noticed the hesitation, and tremblingly asked: "Will you kill him?" "No, no," was the quick reply. "That would be too cowardly. He is a poor foolish old man, whose, continued life must be the greatest curse. We will put him where he put me, and let his slaves find him after we are gone. Come—I will lead to this event, and then you shall lead to the next." Without further remark the robber moved on towards the dungeon where he had been confined, Selim going by his side with the lantern. Pretty soon they saw the king ahead of them, whereupon Selim was suffered to go on in advance. Horam had reached the door of the dungeon just as Selim came up. "Ha, Selim, is this you?" "Yes, sire." "I did not see you when I came. Where have you been hiding?" "I have not been hiding, sire; but have been doing my duty." "And the prisoner?" "He is safe." "Open the door. I would speak with him. He is securely chained?" "No mortal man can break the chains wherewith he was bound, sire." "Then open—quick. His arms are bound?" "Like iron, sire." "And he cannot move from his place?" "The chains all center upon the bolt in the floor." "Then you may remain without. Selim. I wish to speak with the prisoner alone." Selim had no particular understanding with his companions touching this movement; but he understood that Julian would act when he saw fit, so he proceeded to unbolt the door and throw it open. "We can shut him in and leave him," whispered' Osmir, when he saw the king about to pass into the dungeon. "No, no," ' quickly returned Julian, "I have another thought. I pay find use for those royal robes which he weara." "By the godar cried Osmir, "the priaa is worth tea thousand times more thaa I had thought.

CHAPTER XIL - A Royal Disguise. Until the present time Julian had thought of overcoming the king without a word—of felling him to the pavement and binding him, and leaving him in ignorance of who bad done it; but a different fancy seised him aa he saw the monarch enter the dungeon. The temptation to face his deadly enemy, and let him know to what ha owed his disgrace, was too strong to be resisted. The thought that he could now place his foot upon the neck of the king of Damascus, and grant the poor life which he had* the power to take, was not to be passed by. And then the robber chieftain had another reason for wishing to speak with the king, since the opportunity had thus unexpectedly offered itself. Horam had come on purpose to see him, to learn some secret. Our hero had a 45uriosity to know what this meant- "Stay a moment where you are," he said,.addressing the blacks; and thus speaking he passed into the dungeon Just as the king had discovered that no prisoner was there. "Ho! Selim!" shouted the monarch, turning his f-?e to the door. "What Is the matter here? Is not this the—" He stopped, for the Hght of his lantern, falling upon the face of the man who had followed him in, revealed another face than that of Selim. "Horam," spoke the chieftain, "you find the Scourge of Damascus not quite as powerless as you had expected." "What ho! Selim! Selim!" "Easy, old man. Selim will not come at your bidding. Let me Inform you that I am master, for the present, of this lower region, and Selim is my slave." "Mercy!" gasped the terrified king. "What ho! Benoni! Benoni!" "Benoni is in my power," said Julian. "He is bound hand and foot, and cannot help you. And, thou base, false man—thou, too, art in my power. Down in this deep dungeon, where the light of day cannot come, and where the noise of the upper world cannot penetrate, here I have thee as thou dld'st hope to have me.

The king's knees smote together, and the lantern dropped from his hand. "Mercy!" he cried. And then, as though remembering that he was king of Damascus, he clenched his hands, and tried to speak with the voice of authority. "Vile miscreant," he said, "let me pass! If you dare to oppose me, you shall be torn limb from limb!" "Easy, old man. I am your master now, and if you give me occasion, I may do you harm." There was that in the look, tone and bearing of the stalwart chieftain which caused Horam to quail. The lantern hart fallpn in pn upright position, and its light revealed quite plainly the features of the twolinen. "You will not kill me?" whispered the king. "No," replied Julian. "I should scorn the deed; and I should despise myself if I did it. I wish simply to do this. I mus* leave this palace tonight, and you must remain here in my plac*. Some of your slaves will find you in the morning. You must strip off that purple robe, and that golden chain; and I must have the jeweled crown from your head. Come—I have no time to waste." "Ye gods of heaven!" ejaculated Horam. "how can this thing be! Who ever heard of such a thing! Who dares to disrobe the king?" "I dare to do it!" replied the robber, sternly and quickly, at the same time taking a step forward. "Remove the garments instantly, or I shall tear them from you." "No, no; you dare not rob your king." "Peace, poor fool! Hesitate another minute, and I will smite you to the floor! Off with the robe!** The trembling monarch cast one look into the face of the man before him, and then shrank back against the wall. He was as a mere child, and for the time, while unable to do evil, he seemed an object of pity. "If I give yon these things will yon spare my life?" > "I told you once—yes. And once more I beg you to remember that my time is short You will save yourself some trouble if you obey me." This was spoken very slowly, each word dropping from the robber's lips with the weight of a death sentence; and the lowering of the brow, the swelling of the broad bosom, and the nervous working of the hands, told too plainly that the edict- must be obeyed.

By late sowing, in Michigan from the 1st tbe 10th of October, not before. Even latter sowing is permissible. This is generally very reliable, notwithstanding the experience of 1930 was valuable. Much, of course, depends upon the time of the fall when frosts appear and also the time when freezing weather sets in of sufficient degree to stop the growth of the plant. With winter coming as late as it did last year, even sowing in the first part is to early, while if we had an early setting in of winter it would, of course, be desirable to sow sufficiently early to get a reasonable amount of growth in the plant before winter.

"Do you know," said a citizen, "that there is now, since wire fencing has been in reduced, no trouble to raise turkeys. They do not seem to fly over a wire fence. They always alight on the top rail of a fence when flying over. The wire gives them no such opportunity and they are confined to a field without difficulty. This county is the natural home for turkeys. The first settlers found the woods full of wild turkeys. Tliere is no reason why Washtenaw county should not be celebrat ed.. for its fine turkeys. They would bring a large amount of money to the farmers. They must look after something else than wheat to make money. T h e i r S e c r e t Is o u t .

Of air the young men in the country, only five per cent are members of churches; of college young men, fiftytwo per cent are members of churches, so says Dean Hulbert of 6the University of Chicago. College life has its peculiar temptations, of course, but it abounds in opportunities also. A young man must grow. If he aims to grow upward, his college will help grandly. But he may prefer to grow downward, and that the college cannot always hinder. A fire recently broke out at Hermannsreuth, an Austrian village near the Bavarian frontier, A Bavarian fire brigade, which was stationed only three miles away, hastened to the rescue, but the Austrian customs authorities refused to allow the fire engines to pass the frontier without paying the usual tax on imported machinery. The Bavarian firemen naturally turned back and half the village was burned down before the nearest Austrian fire brigade could reach the scene.

Alger will be summoned as a witness in the Schley court of inquiry case. While secretary of war he knew of certain information obtained concerning the presence of the Cervera fleet In Santiago harbor.

One piece" of gossip of the London clubs is startling and interesting. It tells of seriouslrWbterTrt the -eourt of the cznr of Russia which may have a far-reaching effect. It is well known that the czar is bitterly disappointed because no son has been born to succeed him on the throne, this disappointment being softened only by his devotion to the czarina. It is now declared, according to this club gossip— participated in by well known diplomats— that the czarina is altogether unlikely to give birth to a sou, and if she could do so, such son would certainly be a weakling. This statement is said to have been made by phys'- cians near to the court. It has exclte.d the Russian cabinet, members >of which believe that the czar should adopt one of two alternatives—divorce the czarina and remarry, or declare the present czorewitch heir t o tne throne and hasten his marriage to the Princess Margaret, one of the daughters of the Duke of Connaught.

' Hone—Mrs. McCormick had, socially, reigned in L supreme was a college town—old, sedate, select. To have belonged there lor generations was a guarantee of respectability; to be new was damnation. Society was as its forbears had made it—then came Mrs. McCormick. Old Jake had started life as a blacksmith; later he made millions in oil. Mrs. McCormick never told her family history. She was young, pretty, rich and a widow; who could ask more? The patriarchs of L looked on her w. KJv t "So you did come after all." coming with indifference; one day they awoke to find her their bright particular star. Her dinners were triumphs in the cnlinary art, her decoration! were perfection,— wall-flowers were unknown at her dances, and happy the fraternity tea or college ball that secured her M a patroness.

Ms* MoCormtoav fair, fraclous, smiling, moved from group to group and then paused near the doorway whore a tall man was standing absently watching the bright scene. "So you did come, after all?" she said, giving him her hand for the briefest possible moment. "It was very good of you." "Yes, and now I am ^oing to claim my reward; let? me talk to you for a "IsricfeVthtf i* veir Interserttaf. but psbnistry-don't yotrthink itJs a Ifttie itbsmrt?" ''•''•' ''. "'A':, /:'''' "•-'•• ..

"Hero comes Mr. Radnor," cried a pretty fair-haired girl in Wue. "Come and have your hand read; we all want to know your future." "Many thanks/' said Radnor, laughingly; "X shall be very glad to accommodate you if Miss Compton is not too tired." As he spoke his eyes met those of the palmist for an instant—his grave and determined; hers sparkling and defiant. What a childish-looking little thing she was! Radnor seeing her now in her short gypsy dress, her heavy braids -of dark hair hanging over her shoulders, could have easily imagined that the seven years since their last meeting had been swept away, so little changed was she. "I am not tired/* sho said quietly, though the pale face and deep purple shadows under her eyes belied her words. She took his hands in her cold, slender ones and the onlookers drew closer about them. "You have a long life, good health, no nerves to speak of, rather cold; yet you. win people easily. Mathematical, logical, argumentative, a free-thinker in religious matters, very ambitious, proud and self-willed, fond of luxury and not afraid, to work for it. Your success in life is assured." "And his marriage," cry half a dozen voices; "has he ever been in love? Is he ever going to be married?" And Adele went on, but a little more Slowly this time. "You have been in love twice, once in your early youth; the trace is almost faded out. The second time when 30 or 31; the line is cut and barred, some obstacle—I (she is breathing quickly) I do not see any more." She drops the hands and is turning away with a half-repressed gesture of relief, but the listeners are clamoring for the end. Adele shakes her head smiling. "That is the end; remember the powers of palmistry are limited." And the crowd moves away, laughing, protesting, leaving Radnor and the cheiromant together. For a moment he i'3 silent. In the great hall the band Is playing a wild fantastic Hungarian dance. In the drawing-room he can hear the murmur of fifty voices, among them Mrs. Mccormick's, silvery, a little too incisive, but highbred withal. Then he moves closer. "Adele," he says soitly, and there is a world of tenderness in his voice, but the girl does not move. "Adele, shall I tell the end that palmistry does not reveal?

Another Cleveland Horror. Six men were drowned Tuesday night as the result of an explosion of gas in the tunnel leading from the Cleveland water works crib No. 3. two miles from crib No. 2, where the fatal accident of last Wednesday occurred. The work of sinking the shaft at crib No. 3, which is three miles from shore, was completed yesterday. Six men were at once put to work digging a tunnel toward crib No. i. These men had hot been working but a short time when a terrific explosion of gas occurred. The casing of the tunnel was crushed and a torrent, of water fromthe lake rushed into the opening. Six men who were in the tunnel had not the slightest opportunity to escape, but perished oefore as sistanee could reae*i them. • ^ • S r ^ ^ ^ •ivMpyh Blorror* o< m J ^ M t l e As/less.

"Just five minutes, then; I am due somewhere else now. What can I do for you?" "Tell me the attraction, Recitation. Spiritualism, Theosophy, Punch and Judy or what?" "Nonsense," says Mrs. McCormick, coioring; "only palmistry." "Only palmistry!" he repeats. "Well?" For a moment there is a silence and the woman is watching him under her long lashes keenly. Most women like John Radnor, and Mrs. McCormick is very much of a woman. Every detail of an old story that had gone the rounds of L just after her coming is clear in her mind, and she is wondering just how much of it is true. John Radnor hardly looks like a man cisappointed in love—blighted—a woman- hater, as some people say he is*. True, he is 38 and unmarried. The halt on his temples is very gray and there are deep lines about the stern mouth that can soften wonderfully at times. Mrs. McCormick has, however, little faith in the one-love theory, still less in village gossip. She is roused by Radnor repeatlrtg his last word and plunge** in without more ado, "Do you remember the Comptons? I thought so," as Radnor makes a gesture of assent. "You know the son got into some trouble, disgraced himself, and the blow killed Professor Compton. The family moved out West somewhere and we all lost sight of them." She paused and again watched, him narrowly. Again Radnor makes the same assenting gesture, his face expresses polite interest, that is all, and she goes on: "Well, to make a long story short 1 heard by the mereat chance that Mrs. Compton and the daughter were back here, supporting themselves by coaching boy* for the Preparatory School > they were always , popular with the -faculty, you know. 1 went to tee them and discovered that Adele was a good assaianr palmist; indeed, she )s a A fire started by nh explosion in the works of the Atlantic Kenning Co. at Point Breeze, near Philadelphia, Monday night, destroyed over six hundred and fifty thousand barrels of oil and benzine by morning, which means a loss of $1,300,000.

In the shadow of the palms rtadnor "You have been in love." lays one large brown hand over the two little trembling ones and says softly, "My little girl, ray darling." Twenty minutes later Mrs. McCormick is holding out a gracious hand to Radnor, who is among the last to go. "Well, did yon find out?" she says, and Just then, the little cheiromant a water-proof drer her bright dress, the hood covering the heavy hair, comes down the stairs. —^- Radnor looks from one woman to the other, and then one of his rare, brilliant smiles softens the gravity of his face. "Yes, t found out." He hesitates an Instant and then says: "I think I most congratulate you. Mrs. McCormick, on the most successful affair of the season."

The "Fitch" Aquatic Cream Separator. If yon're running a dairy,—be there one cow or one hundred— your profit dedends upon the quality of cream you're getting. If you aren't getting all the cream there is in your milk, you're losing just that much money. Br the old system of milk-selting you lose from ten to twenty per oent. of the cream, besides doing a lot of unnecssary work. Cold water is added to the warm milk and the sudden change in tempertnre and consistency causes the cream and milk to separate: and because of the cream being the lighter it is forced to the top. Yon get «11 the cream in an hour after milking, your skimmilk is sweet and clean, tke cream is smooth, sweet, firm and clean, and requires less than half the time formerly required to churn it. The batter is better, sweeter, and you get from ten to twenty per cent, more of it. No pans, crocks or milk cans needed, no extra labor, no waste cream. Yon can wash it in two minutes and have ready for the next milking. Taking it all in arl, it saves the women's work, costs less than one.half as much as a full equipment of pans, skimmers, [jars, crocks, cans, etc., besides saving enough cream in one ,year to pay for itself tenfold. f Here are our prices: No. 1.

Y.] * .Washington, Sept. 1.—This discourse o f » r . Talmage is full of the breath of hills and fields and is a summer ion; text, Nehemiah viii, 15/ "Go forth unto the mount and fetch olive jbranohee and pine branches and tssjrtle branches and palm branches kxancb.es of thick trees to make I t seems a s If Mount Olivet were un- 4B06>sei. The people have gone into t h e Mountain and have cut off tree hrattcies and put them on their shoulders, and they come forth now into the streets of Jerusalem and on the heuse tops, and they twist these tree branches into arbors or booths. Then the people come forth from their comfortable homes and dwell for seven days in these booths or arbors. Why -do they do that? Well, it is a great festal time. It i s the feast of taberoacles, and these people are going t o celebrate the desert travel of their lathers and their deliverance from their troubles, the experience of their fathers when, traveling in the desert, they lived in booths on their way to the land of Canaan. And s o these booths also became highly suggestive —I will not say they are necessarily typical, but highly suggestive—of our march toward heaven and of the fact th?.t we are only living temporarily here, a s i t were, i n booths'or arbors, <oa our. way to the Canaan of eternal r e s t And what was said to the Jews literally may be said figuratively t o •all this audience. Go forth unto the mountain and fetch olive branches and pine banches and myrtle branches • and palm branches and branches of .thick trees t o make booths. "We Need Olive Branches. » "Now, if we are today going t o succeed i n building this gospel arbor we Beaut go into the mount of God's blessing and fetch the olive branches, one! whatever else we must have we have at least two olive branches, With God ^ n d peace with man. W h e a I say peace with God, I do not to represent God as an angrjr • ctdeftain, having a grudge against us, bat C do mean t o affirm that there is BO more antagonism between a hound and a hare, between a hawk and a pallet, between elephant and swine, efean there is hostility between holiness and sin. And if God is all holiness and we are all sin there must be a treaty, there must be a stretching forth of olive branches. There is a great lawsuit going on BOW, and it is a lawsuit which man is bringing against his Maker. That lawsuit is now on the calendar. It is the haman versus the divine, i t is iniquity versus the imaculate, it is weakness ! versus omnipotence. Man began it. ' God did not begin the lawsuit. We bag s * it. We assaulted our Maker, and the sooner we end this part of the straggle, in which the finite attempts (to overthrow the infinite and omnipotent— the sooner we end it the better. Ifcarelers tell us there is no such place aa Mount Calvary, that it is only a bin, only a n insignificant hill, but I /persist in calling it the mount of God's 'divine mercy and love far grander tfcaa any other place on earth, grander than the Alps or the Himalayas, and there are no other hills as conipared with It. and I have noticed in every sect where the cross of Christ is set forth it is planted with olive branches. Anal all we have to do is to get rid of t h i s srar between God and ourselves, -of which we are all tired. We want 'to back out of the war, we want to gat rid of this hostility. All we have t o do is just to get up on the mount o f God's blessing and pluck these olive branches and wave them before the throne. Peace through our Lord Jesus Cbrist! Health for Mind and Sool. But my text goes further. It says, "Go up. into the mountain and fetch •olive branches and pine branches." N o w , what is suggested by the pine branch? The pine tree i s healthy, i t la aromatic, it is evergreen. H o w often the physician says to his invalid patients: "Go and have a breath of the pines. That will invigorate you." Wfcy do such thousands of people go raouth every year? <Jt is not merely to go to a warmer climate, but to get the JaoMence of the nine. There is health : l a it, aad this pine branch of the text s^soggests t o e helpfulness of our holy tcHgion. I t is full of health—health far ati, health for the mind, health for t h e soul. I knew an aged man who jhad no capital of physical health. He thad had all the diseases you could imagine. H e did not eat enough to keep *a child alive. He lived on a beverage • of hosannas. He lived, high, for he >4iaed every day with the King. He kept alive simply by the force of holy religion. It is a hftalrhy i»a- Hgionr-hcalthy for the eye, healthy for t h e hands, healthy for the feet, h e a l t h y &or:"1fee k«*rt, healthy for the liver, healthy for the spleen, healthy for the whole man. It gives a man such peace, such quietness, such independence of circumstances, such holy equipoise. Oh, that we all possessed it, that w s possessed it now! I mean it is healthy if a man gets enough of it. Now, there are some people who get Just enough religion to bother them, just enough religion t o make them sick, but If a man takes a full, deep, round inhalation of these pine branches of the gospel arbor he will find i t buoyant, exuberant, undying, immortal health. But this evergreen of my text also suggests the simple fact that religion is evergreen. What does the pine branch care for the snow on its brow? It is only a crown of glory. The winter cannot freeze i t out. This evergreen tree branch is a s beautiful in winter as It i s in the summer. And that is the characteristic of our holy religion. In the sharpest, coldest winter of misfortune and disaster It is as good a religion as i t Is in the bright summer sunshine. Well, now, that is a practical truth. For suppose if I should go up and down these aisles I would not find in this house fifty people who had had no trouble. But there are some of you who have especial trouble. God only knows what you go through with. Oh, how many bereavements, how. many poverties, I how many persecutions, how many misrepresentations! And now, my brother, you have tried everything else, why do you not try this evergreen religion? It is just as good for you now as it was in the day of prosperity. It is better for you. Perhaps some of you feel almost like Muckle Backie, the fisherman, who was chided one day because he kept on working, although that very day he burled his child. They came to him and said, "It is indecent for you to be mending that boat when this afternoon you buried your child." And the fisherman looked up and said, "Sir, it i s very easy for you gentlefolks to stay in the house with your handkerchief to your eyes in grief; but, sir, ought I t o let the other five children starve because one of them is drowned? No, sir. We maun work, we maun work, though our hearts beat like this hammer." The Significance of the Palm. But my text takes a step further, and it says, Go into the mountain and fetch olive branches and pine branches ana paim Drancnes. Now, m e palm tree was very much honored by the ancients. It had 360 different uses. The fruit was conserved, the sap was a beverage, the stems were ground up for food for camels, The base of the leaves was turned into hats and mats and baskets, and from the root to the top of the highest leaf there was usefulness. The tree grew 85 feet in height sometimes, and i t spread leaves four and five feet long. It meant usefulness, limrTF~meanr victory—usefulness for what it produced and victory because it was brought into celebrations of triumph. And oh, how much we want the palm branches in the churches of Jesus Christ at this time! A great many Christians do not amount to anything. You have to shove them off the track t o let the Lord's chariots come along. I know the old plan was, the plan now is, in regard to worldly investments— you hear it, merchants tell you —do not put everything into one thing, do not put all your eggs into one basket. But I have to tell you in this matter oiSj religion you had better give your all-^to God and then get in yourself^— On, says some one, "My busln e | | is to sell silks and cloth3." Well, then, my brother, sell silks and cloths to the glory of God. And some one says, "My business is to raise corn and carrots." Then, my brother, raise corn and carrots to the glory of God. And some one says, "My business is to manufacture horseshoe nails." Then manufacture horseshoe nails to the glory of God. Th'erc is nothing for you to do that you ought to do but for the glory of God. The Victory Over Satan. But the palm branch also meant victory. You all know that. In all ages, in all lands, the palm branch means victory. Well, now, we are by nature the servants of satan. He stole us, he has his eye on us, he wants to keep us. But word comes from our Father that if we will try to break loose from this doing of wrong our Father will help us, and some day we rouse up, and we look the black tyrant in the face, and we fly at him, and we wrestle him down, and we put our heel on his neck, and we grind him in the dust, and we say, "Victory, victory, through our Lord Jesus Christ!" Oh what a grand thing it is t o have Bin under foot and a wasted life behind our backs. "Blessed is he whose transgression is forgiven and whose sin is covered." "Some one "says 'How about the inture?" What, says the man, I feel so sick and worn out with the ailments of life. You are going t o be more than conqueror. But, says the man, I am so tempted, I am s o pursued Th lire. You are going t o be more than conqueror. I, who have so many ailments and heartaches, going to be you a r e , so self conceited that you want to manage all the affairs of y o u r | ' life yourself Instead of letting God manage them. Do you want to drive and have God take a back seat? "Oh no," you say, "I want God t o be my loader." Well, then, you will be mora than conqueror. Your last sickness will come, and the physicians in the next room will be talking about what they will do for you. What difference will i t make what they do for you? You are going to be well, everlastingly well. And when the spirit has fled the body, your friends will be talking as to where they shall bury you. What difference does i t make t o you where they bury you? The angel of the resurrection can pick you out of the dust anywhere, and all the cemeteries of the earth are i n God's care. Oh, you are going to be more than conqueror. Finishing the Arbor. My text brings us one step further. It says, "Go forth into the mount and fetch olive branches and pine branches and myrtle branches and palm branches and branches of thick trees." Now, you know very well—I make this remark under the head of branches of thick trees—that a booth or arbor made of slight branches would not stand. The first blast of the tempest would prostrate it. So then t h e booth or arbor must have four stout poles to hold up the arbor or booth, and hence for the building of the arbor for this world we must have stout branches of thick trees. And so it i s in the gospel arbor. Blessed be God that wc have a brawny Christianity, not one easily upset. The storms of life will come upon us, and we want strong doctrine; not only love, but Justice; not only invitation, but warning. It is a mighty gospel; it is a n omnipotent gospel. These are the stout branches of thick trees. I remember what Mr. Finney said in a schoolhouse. The village was s o bad it was called Sodom, and it was said to have only one good man in all the village, and he was called Lot, and Mr. Finney was preaching in the school house, and he described the destruction of Sodom, how the city was going t o be destroyed, unless they repented and that there would be rain from heaven of sorrow and destruction unless they, too, Repented. And the people in the school house sat and ground their teeth* in anger and clinched their fists in anger, but before he got through with his sermon they got down on their knees and cried for mercy while mercy could be found. Oh, it is a mighty gospel; not only an in SOME FBEAK CASES: J PECULIAR SUITS U. f . HA8 TAKEN INTO COURT. , Has Sued Dumb Animals and Inanimate Object* aad as a Besult Has Greatly Enriched the National Treasury— few elry Found Guilty. vitation, but a warning, an omnipotent truth, stout branches of thick trees. Well, my friends, you see I have omitted one or two points not because I forgot to present them, but because I have not time to present them. I have shown you hero is the olive branch of peace, here is the pine branch of evergreen gospel consolation, here the palm tree branch of usefulness and of victory, and here are the stont branches of-thick trees.—T-he. gospel arbor is done. The air is aromatic of heaven. The leaves rustle with the gladness of God. Come into the arbor. Come into the booth. I went out at different times with a fowler to the mountains to catch pigeons, and we made our booth, and we sat in that booth and watched for the pigeons to come. And w e found flocks in the sky, and after awhile they dropped into the net, and we were successful. So I come now to the door of this gospel booth. I look out. I see flocks of souls flying hither and flying thither. Oh, that they might come like clouds and as doves to the window. Come into the booth. Come into the booth. By following his. rigid rule of forever standing up for his rights, Uncle 3am becomes involved in some peculiar cases. On numerous occasions, for instance, he has sued inanimate objects and dumb animals, and as a result the treasury is greatly benefited. He i s busy, Just now, prosecuting numerous freak suits against inanimate things and animals. These helpless lawbreak breakers are held as defendants, just as though they were human beings. They are imprisoned In the custody of the court, and lawyers eloquently recite their misdeeds, for they are offenders in the unsparing eye of the law. Uncle Sam made a snug fortune by suing fifteen packages of diamonds smuggled last June through Niagara. A few days ago the federal court of the western New York district sentenced them to be sold. Thirty-one thousand dollars were poured Into the treasury as the result of this auction. Uncle Sam lately sued "581 diamonds, cut, etc." suspected of having been smuggled Into Michigan, but the District court dismissed the case, and they were liberated from the custody of the United States marshal. "The United States vs. one diamond and pearl bracelet, one diamond and pearl brooch with pendant, one pair diamond and pearl earrings and one diamond brooch," was the title of a case which lately went against the aforesaid Jewels in the district court of New Jersey. They were held guilty for allowing themselves to be smuggled and were sent down to the auctioneer. Misbehaving cattle have troubled Uncle Sam to a serious degree of late. He has arrested and tried no less than 1,023 within the past two years. They were all accused of coming Into the country in violation of the quarantine laws. In these cases it was deemed impracticable t o commit the defendants to jail, like common human offenders, or to lock them up In the marshal's safe, as the diamond rings were treated. The government had to AWEMCV* HOTTEST "PLACE. t W M e a t oj *tbe i>e»th Valley afeosedf Tha* of Other Spots. The Hottest . place, in &e- United sKateetso f a r a / t h * oflcisi-records go, is in the famous Death Valley, in, southern California, a dead sea gorga without the sea. The valley is narrow, only a few miles in width, but about 130 in length. It lies 40* feet below th* bottom of the sea, and Its bottom i s covered with a sheet of salt, white and glittering in the sun. The Amargosa river, although usually its bed i s dry* traverses a large desert tract in southern Nevada, flows to the south, when it flows at all, and ends in the Valley of Death, the northern portion of which gradually rises to the level of the surrounding deserts, so that the physical geography of the valley closely re- Bembles that of the Dead sea, great Salt lake, and other inland bodies of water having no outlet In 1891 a scientific expedition was sent t o the valley by the government, and for five months a weather station was maintained'in the valley for the purpose of observing the prevailing conditions. What they were may be best understood from the statement that for the entire month of July the average temperature for both day and night was 102 degrees, while an almost uniform record of 122 degrees was maintained during the day- . light hours. .1 ' -,,-,-V more than conqueror? Yea, unless NOTED WOMAN SUFFRAGIST. Gen. Cassias HI. Clay's Daughter Mas Done Mnch for Her Sex in Kentucky. Within the past twelve years Miss Laura Clay, woman suffragist and daughter of the. famous old Whitehall general, Casslus M. Clay, has revolur tionized the position of women in Kentucky. She Is the president and founder of the Equal Rights Association of Kentucky and under her leadership wonders have been accomplished. She is a mild-mannered, blue-eyed, roundfaced little woman Of pleasing address, but in pertinacity and vigorous intellect she is her noted father's daughter. From girlhood Bhe has been a stanch advocate o f the Idea that commercially, legally, professionally and politically, woman is and should be recognized as the equal of man. In 1888 she began the serious battle for this idea. She was ehosen president of the State Equal Rights Association in that year and appeared in Frankfort with certain Mils which the association wished to have passed. At first politicians laughed the matter away, but ere long they found occasion t o review their opinion of the equal rights propaganda. They passed some of the bills and thought that ended the matter, but the next session found the women lobbying a s actively a s ever. Bills were passed going a step further, and now the committee from the Equal Hlghts hire a pen wherein they could be kept under constant strrvelllaucce and out of the way of the enterprising journalistic interviewers. There being no docks in the courts to suitably accommodate them, they were denied an ear in their own trials and had to entrust their cases entirely t o their counsel. The greater number were found guilty and sentenced to pas3 under the hammer. "The United States vs. 1,736 pounds adulterated assafoedda" was a sensational case which lately called forth an eloquent and profound opinion from the circuit court of the eastern division of Michigan. The defendant when produced before the dignified tribunal remonstrated s o loudly that the spectators saw fit to clear the court and take to the fresh air of heaven. The records show that the honorable court sentenced the defendant "to condemnation and destruction." In the federal supreme court i s pending the case of the United States vs. certain vessels painted white," held for violating the law forbidding the importation of firearms into Alaska. A similar case "vs. one certain vessel painted light drab," was lately decided against the defendant, and she wa3 sentenced to "forfeiture and sale." But when Uncle Sam came to carry out the decree of the court he found that she had escaped from the custody of the authorities. The government has sued numerous schooners, tugs, steamboats and, other water craft in recent years. Cases in which a schooner and a tug are held as defendants are pending in the supreme court. Five photographs were recently sued fn California, twenty-one in New Jersey and "one lot" in Porto Rico. An of these pictures are accused of Immorality, and were sentenced t o "destruction by fire." "One gross of immoral articles," recently defendants in a Porto Rican case, suffered like punishment. Areas of land appear a s defendants in many cases before the federal courts. In the circuit court of Rhode Island was recently heard "the United States against certain lands in Jamestown,'* and "Against certain lands In Boetent Neck." These properties were defendants in condemnation proceedings, the government desiring their use. TralQ^foflT The acme of perfection would soon be reached if people would only follow the advice they give to others. A Natural Effect.

A Happy Boy Oldenburg, 111., Sept. 2dr—Tho doctors all failed in the case of little thirteen- year-old Willie Keil, who suffered with acute Rheumatism. For over three months the poor little fellow suffered excruciating torture. His father, who had done everything he could think of, saw a new Rheumatism Remedy advertised — Dodd's Kidney Pills. He bought some, and soon his little son showed signs of improvement. Three boxes cured him completely, and he has not a symptom of Rheumatism left. This miraculous cure of a case which had been given up by the physicians has electrified Madison County, and Dodd's Kidney Pills are a much talked of medicine.

Trembling a t every joint the fc^ng proceeded to the work. He pulled off t h e robe of purple silk, and cast i t down; then he took off the crown; and then t h e golden chain. Julian pickad them up, and turning once more tp the king, said: *'—^ "I will grant you one favor before I go. You came hither t o Bee me. II you have any question to ask, I will anawer it." The king started up as though h e had"Teceived promise of some great blessing. "Once I asked you who your j>*r- •ents were," he said. "You would a o t answer me. Will you answer *ne now?" "No, sir," replied Julia*. -"I w i n not speak their narae3 in your presence; nor will I give to you the name <of *he friend whom I love." "Be not too headstrong, air Tobber," urged the king. "Is that all for whidx you sought me?" asked the chlcfta$a, taking a step backward. "I sought thee to n«fl out "who .you are. I have a reason for asking." "What reason?" "There is something in your ftaee which interests me." # "Perhaps it looks Hke Tny father's," said Julian, bitterly. '<©, If you were not a poor, decrepit old man, I should smite thee; and I will take myself away a s speedily a s possible, lest my resolution fail me. Stand back—I will have no more to say unto thee. Thy slaves will find thee bece .<n the morning." The king would have followed Julian to the door, tent tthe robber put him forcibly back, and then, having picked up the lantern f*om the floor, he hastened c u t from the dungeon, after which Selim closed the door and bolted i t "His cries for help cannot be heard?" suggested Julian. "No," answered Osmir. "These solid walls will driific up the sound of his voice before it reaches the end of this first passage." — . "Then we have " nothing more to wait for. One lantern will suffice, so I will leave this one behind." Julian extinguished, the light, and then proceeded to aTray himself in the royal apparel; a»d when he had donned it and stood with his form bent and trembling, h i s companions assured him that he would pass for the monarch well enough. His face alone could betray him, and that could be easily concealed. — And now for the \ipper world. They stopped when they reached the place where the captain lay, and when they had assured themsehvee that he could not move until he had received help, they passed on. Up they went, Selim going ahead with the lantern, while Osmir followed close behind the disguised robber. Thus they passed on to the upper chambers, where sentinels were posted; but no one molested them. The seeming king walked with his head bent, and his arms folded upon his besom, and none dared to approach him. Osmir and Selim were known to be two of the most favored of the monarch's slaves, so their presence seemed all proper. On they went, as freely a s though moving over a desert plain, until they stood without the gate of the garden wall, a t which point Julian stopped and threw off the royal robe. "This chain of gold I shall "keep," he said; "not for its value a s a trinket, but that I may have a memento of this night's adventure with the king of Damascus. And now, good Osmir, let us hasten to the place where my faithful Hobaddan waits for me." • In the darkness of the night, by well known ways, the blacks led the robber chieftain towards the dwelling at the prime minister, being stlH ready to serve him in the face of any danger. CHAPTER XIII. From One Danger Into Another. Ulin would not retire until she had heard from Osmir, who had gone out in behalf of the robber chieftain. She sat i n her chamber, with a single lamp dimly burning, and her faithful bondmalden kept her company. "I feel," said Albia, breaking in upon a long silence, "that we have done no more than our duty in lending our aid to t h e cause of the imprisoned chieftain." "We have done our duty to the city," returned Ulin, hesitatingly. "If Julian is set free it will save much trouble to our king." "Or" cried the bondmalden, impul* •ively, "I ^on't care for the king. When he la-your huihand, then I may I Shubal. respect him, but I do not care for him oow. I care more for the noble, generous, handsome Julian. I cannot forget how kindly h e treated us, and now like a brother he bore himself. And, one thing more, I cannot forget how sad h e looked when he left us i n the Palace of the Valley. As (true as I live, I think 1 almost love him. He i s the best looking man I ever saw." "Albla, 7 0 « must not talk i n that manner fe&Sore me." "Par-ton, m y lady. I meant no harm."" "I do not chide you—I do not blame you. But—the name of the daring robber is not one that should be used i n my presence." "Dear lady," plead Albia, "had° I regarded Julian as a real criminal, I should not have used his name a s I 'did. "But I looked upon him as a man more honorable and true than—" "Enough, Albia. Let us drop that subject now. What is the hour?" "Jt is past midnight—I should think an hour past." "Then go down into the garden and see if Osmir has returned." Albia departed without speaking further, and when the princess was left alone she arose from her seat and walked across the floor. "I do not think I have done wrong," she said t o herself, "in lending my aid to this robber. I shall never s e e him again. I do not wish t o see him any more. And I do not suppose he would care to see me. I hope he will escape—I hope he will prosper i n the years to come." She ceased speaking aloud, and pressed her hand upon her heart as though the other feellng3 must not come forth. In half an hour Albia came back. Her step was light and quick, and a look of satisfaction beamed on her handsome face. "0, my dear mistress," she cried, as soon as she had closed the door behind her, "Julian is saved!" "Thank heaven!" ejaculated the princess, devoutly. "He is saved, and has now started to leave the city." "Hnw WAR It Ann*?" .' "Ocmir and Selim came with him; and I only know that they led him forth from his prison. Hobaddan was in our garden, and when h e saw his noble young master he fell upon his neck and kissed him, and wep.t for joy. They did not stop long, for they had not the time to spare. Hobaddan came to me and blessed me, and bade me assure my gentle mistress that he would pray for her while h e had life and reason. I saw them depast, and then T turned back." "I hope they will meet with no more danger," said Ulin half to herself. "They will not be long in finding a place of safety," returned Albia. "And now, my mistress, what of ourselves?" The princess started, and clasped her hands. "It is now almost two hours past midnight, and in three more hours the light of day will be upon us." "0, Albia. I must flee from Damascus. I dare not remain here." "Of course we are to flee," said the bondmalden. "We had promised that before Hobaddan carae. You told me ycu would flee this very night." "And I will keep my word if I can," responded Ulin, resolutely. "You were to plan for our departure." "It is all arranged, my mistress. Shubal will accompany us. I have talked with him, and he is ready. He says ho can procure horses just without t h e gates of the city; and he knows the way to the cave of Bon Hadad. Once with the kind old hermit, and you are safe." Ulin had no need for further thought upon t h e subject, for she had firmly resolved that she- .would flee. The more she thought of union with the king t h e more terrible appeared the fate. At times she blamed herself for having admitted the idea of marriage with Horam; but she did not feel that she had willingly done wrong. When she gave herself to the royal acceptance she knew nothing of the w o r l d - knew nothing of the trials she would have to endure—and knew little of the character of the* man who wore the crown. Since that time she had gained knowledge, and her eyes had been opened. The case dwelt in her mind now as one of life or death, and she felt that she must save herself. "I must write a few words to my father," she said. "But you will not tell him where you have gone?" "No. I will only tell him w h y I have g o n e I must do that. Oet me the writing materials, Albia; and while I am writing you may go and find parehment, a sharpened reed, and a small pot W Ink; and when she had arranged them upon the table she left the apartment Ulin t a t down t o the work without further hesitation, and wrote to her father the reason of her flight When she had written all that she deemed necessary, s h e placed t h e parchment where he would be likely t o find it, and then proceeded to gather up the few articles she meant t o take with her. She moved steadily about the work, and If she trembled, it was more from anxiety than from fear of what s h e was doing. She took her jewels, of which she possessed a rich store, and also packed up a few articles of clothing. She had just accomplished this when Albla returned. Shubal was a stout, kind-hearted slave, who had been many years in the family, and his attachment for his young" mistress was strong and true. When she called upon him to serve her, he had no questions t o ask, save how he should please her best. "Shubal," said the princess, "do ypu know what you have to do?" "Yes.my lady, I have t o serve you." "But do you know why I have called for you now?" "Yes. I am t o go with you from the city." "And you are willing?" "Yes, lady—I am willing and I am glad." "Then we have nothing more to detain us. Albia, are you ready" "Yes, my mistress." Ulin stepped back to her dressingtable and picked up her jewels, and for a moment she bowed her head upon her folded hands. When she looked up her fair brow was serene, and the tremulousnes3 had gone, from her lip. Shubal took the bundle of clothing, and then the party moved out from the chamber. They gained the garden, and passed out by the small gate; and when they had reached the street they led off with a quick step. There was a sentinel at the city gate, but he did not trouble those who passed o u t As Shubal had promised, he found horses at a small stable beyond the wall, and in less than an hour from the time of leaving her chamber the princess was safely In the saddle, with her face turned toward the northern mountains. At the distance of two leagues from t h e city they came to a small strip of wood, through which their path lay. where they stopped to let their horse3 drink from a living spring. Shubal had dismounted to hand some water up to the females, and was just 3=2 PE-RU-NA 0" DANGER In That Critical Time When a Girl Becomesa Woman. ;niiHii»»»iiinnn»i)niiiitiiii»iiiiiiuinmi; possible."

It was too dark t3 distinguish features, but Shubal could see that the stranger was tall and stout, and that his garb was not of Damascus. "Ha! Who is this" demanded Shubal moving back a pace. "I am a man, and have sought the spring for fresh water," was the a n - swer. "And now, who are you?" Shubal recognized the voice of an Arab; and as he gazed more sharply on the fellow, he was able to see that the garb was wild and filthy. "I have sought this spring as you have, Sir Arab." "Ah, you recognize my tongue and nation, do you?" "Yes, and it would seem that you are even with me." "I know you are a slave, but that does not tell me whence you come." "I come from Damascus." "Ah—from Damascus! And you have ladies« with you. Perhaps they have money with them. Perhaps they have jewels. Damascus is a wealthy city, and her people seldom travel with empty purses." Shubal started up, and laid his hand upon the hilt of h i s sword. "Your words give token of a curious disposition, Sir Arab." "Words are nothing. With a simple contracting of the lips I can produce a sound that has power to call up spirits from the earth. Hark!" (To be continued.) MISS BESSIE KELLOG. Miss Bessie Kellog, President of the Young Woman's Club, of Valley City, North Dakota, writes the following from First street, South, Valley City, North Dakota: "Ever since I matured I suffered with severe Monthly pains. The doctor did not seem to understand what the trouble was and the medicine he pre* scribed from time to time did not help me. He finally suggested that I have an operation. One of my Mends who had been cured of a similar affliction through the use of Peruna, advised me to give It a trial first, and so I used It for three weeks faithfully. My pains dlmlshed very soon and within two months I had none at all, **Thls Is six months ago, and during that time I have not had an ache nor pain, I give highest praise to Peruna, Every woman ought to use it, and I feel sure that It would bring perfect health,*'—BESSIE KELLOQ. The experience of Miss Bessie Kellog, of North Dakota, ought to be read by every girl in the land. It Is a critical period in a woman's life when she ceases to be a girl and becomes a woman. Very few pass through this period without some trouble. The doctor is called and h e generally advises a n o p - eration. Perhaps be will subject the p a - tient t o a long series of experiment* with nervines and tonics.

This girl w a s lucky enough t o fbaeT Peruna a t l a s t As she says, the doe* tors did not seem to understand w h a t the trouble was and the medicine fc» prescribed from time t o time did n o t help her. Peruna hit the mark at o n e * and s h e is now recommending thls> wonderful remedy to all the other girts-. in, the United States. Thousands of the girls who look a t her beautiful face and read her sincerev testimonial, will be led to try P e n i n a in their times of trouble and critical periods. Peruna will not fail them. Every one of them will be glad and I t is t o be hoped that their enthusiasm will lead them t o do as this girl d i d — proclaim the fact to the world so that others may read it and do likewise. Mrs. Christopher Pllehmann, Amsterdam, N. Y., writes: "I have been sick with catarrh of the)' stomach and pelvic organs for about five years, and had many a doctor, bttt none could help me. Some said I w o u l d never get over it. One day when I read you almanac I saw those who had been cured by Peruna; then I thought 1 would try i t I did, and found reliet with the first bottle I took, and after two more bottles I was as well a n d strong as I was before."—Mrs. Christopher Fliehmann/ If you do not derive prompt and aat* lsfactory results from the use of P o - runa, write at once to Dr. Hartman. giving a full statement of your c a s » and h e will be pleased to give you M » valuable advice gratis.

They are good air, good food, suitable Nothing, cleanliness and exercise and /est. The first two requirements affect the blood, and as the blood circulates all over the body, including the brain, every part is affected. Fre3h air affects the purity of the blood. The freshest air is out of doors, and it is the duty or every one wno wishes to be in good health to spend a certain amount of time in the open air. Good food is not necessarily expensive food. Exercise and rest should alternate and balance each other. It is quite possible to take too much exercise, and this side of the question must be guarded against as carefully as the other.

An evening contemporary has been informing its readers that they can use the same calendars every twenty years—when the dates of the month fall on the same days of -the week—- thereby avoiding the expense of five almanacs for the present century, But here i s something better than that. Persons who have the double advantage of ancient family and careful forefathers, by turning up the calendars— unfortunately they are - not printed ones, for the twelfth century, by Solomon Jarchus, will find the days and dates coincident with the present century. Such persons can save the expense of buying for 100 years.

Milk, cream and batter are of exceeding perishable natures, and, like nil quick decaying.articles of food, they are hotbeds for breeding all kinds of destructive bacteria. The only way to fight this enemy is by celerity of action. Hurry the milk from the cow and out of the stable. Hurry the cream from the milk and spare as little time as possible In getting the cream into the churn and the butter to the customer. To carry out this idea clean the stable, clean the cow, milk Into covered pails, use a separator, use a cream starter, use a swing churn and start the butter to the customer the night of the day it Is made. This, says L. S. Hardin in Home and Farm, is a strict business principle and should be pushed for all It is worth, and that means large profits for the trouble taken, for it may be safely stated that you will lose 2 to 3 cents a pound on your butter for every day you linger past the SO hours necessary to carry out the plan outlined above. • « * » • _ _ . . •:re much more brilliant 'j coming than at other Stop t b e Couffb ttn<1 t v o r k a o f f t b e Coltl.

It is not very hard work on the men, nothing like so hard as 4to cut either by hand or with a'sled cutter, and it is evident to my mind tha* we will be compelled to adept the binder as the system of corn eutting, for it is almost impossible'to hire men to go into the tornfield and cut corn by hand at any price, and we have had to pay more for cutting the fodder than the feed was worth after it was cut. With the harvester tae work is much easier and faster. One can commenco several days earlier, as the shock;* stand'moro open and will dry owt better than when putvup without binding, and one can make the shocks much larger if desired, and tliey will st:ind up bettvr than when loose.

Tile-pickle worm is destructive mainly to the-fruit of the cantaloupe, squash aivi cucumber by eating cavities or channels in the rind or by boring quite to the interior. The first crop of cucurbits, as a rule, escapes its ravages, but late cucurbits are usually badly'infested. In the north the pickle worm may be Injurious only during occasional years, hat in'the south, particularly the Caro- CA>TALOUPE AND PICKLE WOBitS. linas, Georgia and Florida, cucurbit fields are rarely free from it during late summer and fall. The pickle worm feeds ou most varieties of cucurbits, but it has a decided preference for tke squash; therefore trap plants of summer squash are used as a protection, and as the trap crop must be kept growing as long as protection Is necessary seed is planted ever?' two weeks or so.

Experiments In cheese curing which have been conducted for two years at the Geneva (X. Y.) experiment station have results of the highest importance from the commercial standpoint Cheeses have been cured at temperatures varying from 55 degrees F. to 80 degrees F.. the higher temperatures representing the common factory conditions. ** Of the cheeses made^Jn 1889 those eared at 60 degrees - F. and below scored on the average almost five points higher on flavor and 2.5 points higher on texture than those cured at 65 degrees F. and above. In 1900 the average difference in flavor of tfee lower temperature was 5.3 points on flavor and 2.7 points on texture. This is a matter well worth the attention of all cheese factory managers, because these differences in commercial quality are sufficient to cause important differences in the selling price. iitff.4.,."l C p w y e f t s . Cowpea hay Is nearly equal to alfalfa in feeding value and contains nearly one-half more ifiesb and milk making material than clover hay.

These qualities make it especially valuable for feeding growing cattle and pigs, dairy cows and fattening steers and hogs. The cewpea enriches the land on which it grows the same as alfalfa, crover and soy beans. It makes hard soils mellow and aids in holding loose soils together and stands drought well.

The veterans alone perfectlug a veterans' organization. The first pest, was formed at Decatur, 111., on the evening of April *6, 1866, and this, with two pests established at Springfield, adopted the principles which have been the cardinal doctrines of the organization. Ever since the first national conyention in 1866—the annual gatherings were not officially styled "encampments" until the following year—the Grand Army has played an important role in the history of the nation. It has done much for the relief of its own members. It has done much for charity, and it should not be forgotten that in several instances this charity—notably during the times of the Mississippi valley yellow fever outbreaks and the Charlestown earthquake— was directed to the relief of former enemies. But most of all it has been a beneficial factor in keeping alive the sentiments of loyalty and patriotism. Such an organization is' without parallel among the societies of war tient courage and endurance were necessary to live through the years of the rebellion. Considering the nature of that experience it is not surprising that the bond among the veterans should be strong. Their reunions commemorate events which loom large in the world's history.

Cleveland has been making ample PERRY STATUE. posts by the death of members, will end in the not distant future the history of the grand army—an organization that has had a career that stamps it as unique in itself, without reference to the exceptional nature of the great events from which it took Its rise. Held together entirely by community of sentiment and a spirit of mutual helpfulness, its existence has been a perpetual reminder of the strength of the bonds and the intensity of the patriotic spirit which united the men engaged in the war. F i r s t O. A. B. P o t t . The Grand Army of the Republic has had a life of about thirty-five years. The war was over and the re-unlted nation was just beginning to take up the work of peace when the first pest was formed. The origin of the order is traced to a meeting of veterans at Springfield, 111., during the winter of 1865-66, when Dr. F. B. Stephenson who was a surgeon in the Fourteenth Illinois Infantry, tcok the initiative in S a n p n o n I'nMonnd M e n t a l l y . The attorneys for Admiral Schley have been privately informed by the "riends of Admiral Sampson that his jealth is such that he will not be able to appear as a witness before the court )f inquiry. A news dispatch from Adniral Sampson's home guardedly intimated the real situation. It said: "He is gaining in physical strength, but his mental health continues to steadily fail." In other words, it is suggested that Ills mental state is such that he is not •ompetent to give testimony. For more than a year rumors have been ?oming from Boston concerning SanTpson's mental indisposition. Recent reports seem to give substantial corroboration: for instance, friends are now raying that he cannot remember in the ifternoon what he said or did hi the morning. Schley's attorneys, discussing this levelopment. say they will insist upon the certificates of naval surgeons to the effect that he is unable to come to Washington.

It Is feared In official circlet of Washington that the withdrawal of the French ambassador from Constantinople marks the dissolution of the concert of European powers under which the intergrity of Turkey wat guaranteed. J By the Treaty of Berlin all the great powers of Europe subscribed to' an agreement to refrain from any act that would tend to the destruction of~the Ottoman empire. This action was taken to forestall what were conceived to be the designs of Russia to seize on Turkish territory, and Russia was led to subscribe to the agreement by force of circumstances. Although several times severely strained, notably by such events as the last war between Turkey and Greece, amendment, but it is apprehended that if the action of France is carried out to the extreme indicated in dispatches, each of the other signatory powers will feel obliged in self-protection to disregard the agreement and press on Turkey vast financial and other claims that have accumulated in the last quarter of a century, with a result of disrupting the present Turkish government.

[More than 300,000 visitors are expect- It is doubtful if many of the casual ; ed to be in the encampment city during the week, and it is the aim of the citizens of Cleveland to make it a redletter event in the history of the town. Free quarters have been provided for from 25,000 to 30,000 veterans In school houses and halls, similar to the plan adopted by Chicago, and which worked so successfully last year. The Forest City is a place of armories and monuments, and has many points of historic interest. Foremost among these is the tomb of the late President Garfield, whose home was In Mentor, only twenty-four miles from Cleveland. The mausoleum Is located in Lake View cemetery, on a high piece of ground, and is the Mecca o' many visitors to the city. The statue of Commodore Oliver Hazard Perry, the hero of the battle of Lake Erie in the war of 1812, was dedicated September 10, 1860, the anniversary of Perry's great victory. Some years ago it was removed from the public square, where it had been originally placed, and taken to a beautiful spot in Wade park, where it now stands. In the very heart of the business section of the city stands one of the grandest soldiers' monuments in the United States. Within its walls are relics of wars and the names of departed heroes chiseled in the marble surroundings. This monument will no doubt be one of the greatest attractions at the encampment and will doubtles3 be visited by every veteran in-attendance. Located but two blocks from the public square Is the Central armory, a large and magnificent building, where campftres by the veterans will be held. It will also be a principal headquarters for the Qrand Army. Alpine Pass, Colorado, justified its name Tliui'sdny by producing a fall of >now. Sen-itrv (Joo. F. Hoar, of Massachusetts.

Dark Varieties the Money Mmhtfi, 'With Wlndiur In the Lead. The best sweet cherries I have men south of central New York are, along the fences where the cultivator has not disturbed them. In northern Delaware there ore several famous sweet cherries in the fence rows and corners, bat neatly all of the orchards that I have seen la wW<* joadern cultivation Methods are attempted have been failures. In central and eastern New York the sweet cherry has to be kept on medium thin land. My father has a young, orchard that is booming on land that would be considered poor for foftni&g purposes, but the trees respond there to j tillage. The sour cherries will probably do best under high culture. While they grow well along the fences, they need more moisture than the sweet varieties and pay well under the best treatment. The dark^kiads are the money makers. Black Tartarian, Black Eagle, "Windsor and Dikemaa are the leading sorts at home. There is big moneg in Windsor, and if Dikeman turns out as we expect it there ought to be more in it. Sometimes the sweet cherry needs Ikne and dies for waut of it.

If you aren't getting all the cream there is in your milk, you're losing just that much money. By the old system of milk-setting you lose from ten to twenty per cent, of the cream, besides doing a lot of unnecssary work. Cold water is added to the warm milk and the sudden change in temperture aud consistency causes the cream and milk to separate: and because of the cream being the lighter it is forced to the top. You get all the oream in an hour after milking, your skimmilk is sweet and clean, the cream is smooth, sweet, firm and olean, and requires lees than half the time formerly required to chum it. The butter is better, sweeter, and you get from ten to twenty per cent, more of it. No pans, crocks or milk cans, needed, no extra labor, no waste cream. Yon can wash it in two minutes and have ready for the next milking. Taking it ail in all, it tares the women's work, costs lees than one.half as much as a full equipment of pans, skimmers, jars, crocks, cans, etc., besides saying enough cream in one year to pay for itself tenfold.

We were in error last week in our item in regard to Miss Belle Kennedy. Her position was principal instead of preceptess. Her address is Boyd Wis. The Livingston Democrat of last week contained the speech of W. H. S. Wood before the state board of legislation and tax commissioners. It was certainly a great effort to benefit the tax-payers of this county. There is considerable interest being aroused in the northwestern part of tbis county over the tact that coal and oil bavo been found.

We have our doubts about its being a very acceptable proposition to the many cottagers and tourists unless a wonderful change takes place in the general state of things at these annual encampments. Here is another puzzle. A man with seventy-tive cents in his pocket was cooipeled to raise $1.00. So he pawned his seventy-tive cents for titty cents and then sold his pawn ticket to a friend for titty cents, thus securing the dollar needed. Who lost t.e money by the transaction? The weather bureau is short of me*- engers. The position pays $360 a year, and applicants with a grammar school education can pass the civil service examination, whicu will be held in October. In specter Conger says it is a good opening for young men who wish to enter the weather service as advancements to assistant observers are generally made from messengers. The rural delivery department of the postofflce at Washington is making inquiries in regard to the condition ot the roads over which the free delivery service extends. The depart* meats want to know not the preeent conditions of the roads, but what it was during the winter as well. Inquiry is also made as to how many trips were lost on account of anow drift and just exactly who was responsible tor lot impassable condition ot the roads, if such was the case. It behooves the patrons of rural delivery routes to see to it that roada are ia good conditio* aH the time *ad that if heavy tattt of anow occur faring the aeasott, the roads be tot only opened once but kept opvn. On Friday Sept. 6,1901, in the aboye building at Buffalo, N. Y., a most dastardly attempt was made on the iite of President McKinley. when one, Czolgosz a young anarchist at 20 years of aae, shot him twice while in the act of shaking his band at an informal reception. The fiend was overpowered and is languishing in a cell awaiting the outcome of his fiendish act. it it a wonder, also a pity, that Czolgosz was not killed on the spot and an example made of one who would even tna«e an attempt on the life ot the Chief Executive of the U. S. If McKinley Uves, ten years would be the extent of the penalty which could be reduced to seven by good behavior. At las? reports Pres. McKinley was on the wav to recovery and unless something sets in to complicate the wounds he will be able to attend his duties in a few months. In the meantime Vice Pres. Rossefelt has assumed the duties encumbent upon him in a case of this kind, and although not a coward duty to the people deraandsjthat be be protected by a body guard. It is thought that Czolgosz belongs to a fyand of anarchists and every art is being used to make him implicate others in the plot. v$9 : • ( * : W. W. Barnard was in Howell first of the wees. the W.

Talmage shows the folly of allowing forebodings to Influence us and how expectation of evil weakens aaddeetroys; text, Matthew vl, 34, ^SaHeieai unto the day is the evil •thereof." The life el every man, woman and •ehtld is as closely under the divine 4jara as though such person were the •only man, woman or child. There are no accidents. As there is a law of ti^ldiiff oji MW-raMons or„e aaiior en short allowance; that a man should stand neck; deep In harvests looking forward* to famine;, that one should feel the strong pulses of health inarch* Ing with regular tread through all the avenues of life and yet tremble at the expected assault of sickness; that a man should sit in bis pleasant home fearful that ruthless want will some day rattle the broken , window sash with tempest and sweep the coals from the hearth and pour hunger into the bread tray; that a man fed by him who own* all the harvests should expect to starve; that one whom JBod loves and surrounds with benediction and attends with angelic escort and hovers over with more than motherly fondnests should be looking for a heritage of tears! Has God been hard with thee that thou shouldst be foreboding? Has he stinted thy board? Has he covered thee with rags? Has he spread traps for thy feet, and galled in the natural world, so there thy cup, and rasped thy soul, and ft a law of trouble, a law of disaster, a wrecked thee with storm, and thunderlaw of misfortune; but the majority en upon thee with, a life full of caot the troubles of life are imaginary, 4amity? ^ . ^ _ . _* ^, *,-, * - J «-»_ Work of 8elf-Ex»mlo»tloa. Many Christians think it a bad sign to be jubilant, and their work of selfexamination is a hewing down of their brighter experiences. Like a boy with a new jockknife, hacking everything he comes across, so their self-examination is a religious cutting to pieces of the greenest things they can lay their hands on. They imagine they are doing God's service when they are going about borrowing trouble, and borrowing it at 30 per cent, which is always a sure precursor of bankruptcy. Again, the habit of borrowing trouble is wrong because the present is sufficiently taxed with trial. God sees that we all need a certain amount of trouble, and so he apportions it for all the days and years of our life. Alas for the policy of gathering it all up for one day or year! Cruel thing to put upon the back of one camel all the cargo intended for the entire caravan. I never look at my memorandum book to see what engagements and duties are far ahead. Let every week bear its own burdens. The shadows of today are thick enough. Why implore the presence of other shadows? The -cup is already distasteful. Why halloo to disasters far distant to come and wring out more gall in the bitterness? Are we such champions that, having won the best the mttt of those anticipated nev cr come. At any rate, there is no cause of complaint against God. See how much he has done to make you nappy, bis sunshine filling the earth with glory, making rainbow for the storm and halo for the mountain, greenness for the moss, saffron for the caaud and crystal for the billow and procession of bannered flame through the opening gates of the morning, chaffinches to sing, rivers to glitter, none to chant and springs to blossom, and overpowering all otyrer sounds with its song and overarching all •other splendor with its triumph, covering up all other beauty with its garlands and tutflashing all thrones with its dominion—deliverance for a lost world through the Great Redeemer. Borrowing' Trouble. I discourse of the sin of borrowing trouble. First, such a habit of mind and heart la wrong, because it puts one into a •despondency that ill fits him for duty. I planted two rosebushes in my garden; the one thrived beautifully, the other perished. I found the dead one on the shady side of the house. Our •dispositions, like our plants, need sunshine. Expectancy of repulse is the cause of many secular and religious failures. Fear of the bankruptcy has nntorn -many a line business and sent the man dodging among the note shavers. Fear of slander and abuse often invited all the long-beaked "I do not think I If he gives, he BSiwfff? wr vultures of scorn and backbiting. Many of the misfortunes of life, like hy- «nas, flee if you courageously meet them. How poorly prepared for religious duty ia a man who sits down under the gloom of expected misfortune! If he prays, he says, shall be answered." says, 'T expect they will steal the money." Helen Chalmers told me that her father, Thomas Chalmers, in the darkest hour of the history of the Free Church of Scotland and when the woes of the land seemed to weigh open his heart said to his children. "Come, let us go out and play ball or fly kite," and the only difficulty in the piay was that the children could not keep tip with their father. The HfcCheynes and the Summerfields of the church Who did the most good tolled in the sunlight. Away with the horrors! They distill poison; they dig graves, and if they could climb so high they would drown the rejoicings of heaven with sobs and wailing. Watching for Misfortune. "You will have nothing but misfortune In the future if you sedulously watch for i t How shall a man catch the right kind of fish if he arranges 'his fine and hook and bait to catch lizards and water serpents? Hunt Cor bats and hawks, and bats and hawks you will find. Hunt for robin redbreasts, and you will find robin redbreasts. One night an eagle and an owl got Into fierce battle. The eagle, unused to the night, was no match for ^he owl, which is most at home in the darkness, and the king of the air fell helpless. But the morning rose, and with it rose the eagle, and the owls and the night hawks and . the bats came a second time to the combat. Now, the eagle in the sunlight, with a stroke of his talons and a great cry cleared the air, and his enemies, with torn feathers and splashed with blood, tumbled into the thickets. Ye are the 'Children of light. In the night of despondency yon will have no chanco -against your enemies that flock up from beneath; but, trusting in God -and *rt*nd*f in the sunshine of the • promises, yon than "renew your youth Utke the eagle." Again, the habit of borrowing trou- We Is wrong because it has a tendency to make as overlook present blessing. ;To slake man's thirst the rock is cleft, m&6 cool waters leap into his brim- *adng eup. To feed his hunger the .Holds bow down with bending wheat, sand the cattle come down from the *• stover pastures to give him milk, and the orchards yellow and ripen, casting their jntay traits into *1* Up. Alas, that amid such exuberance of blessing jean should growl as though he were in former encounters, we can go forth to challenge all the future? Do Not Worry. Here are business men just able to manage affairs as they now are. They can pay their rent and meet their notes and manage affair3 as they now are, but how if a panic should come and my investments should fail? Go tomorrow and write on your daybook or on your ledger, on your money safe, "Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof." Do not worry about notes that are far from due. Do not pile up on your counting desk the financial anxieties of the next 20 years. The God who has taken care of your worldly occupation, guarding your store from the torch of the incendiary and the key of the burglar, will be as faithful in 1910 as in 1901. God's hand is mightier than the machinations of stock gamblers or the plots of political demagogues or the red right arm of revolution, and the darkness will fly and the storm faH dead at his feet. So there are persons in feeble health, and they are worried about the future. They make out very well now, but they are bothering themselves about future pleurisies and rheumatisms and neuralgias and fevers. Their eyesight is feeble, and they are worried lest they entirely lose it. The*r hearing Is indistinct, and they are alarmed lest they become entirely deaf. They felt chilly today and are expecting an attack of typhoid. They have been troubled for weeks with some perplexing malady and dread becoming lifelong invalids. Take care of your health now and trust God for the future. Be not guilty of the blasphemy of asking him to take care of you while you sleep with your windows tight down or eat chicken salad at 11 o'clock at night or sit down on a cake of ice to cool off. Be prudent, and then be confident. Some of the sickest people have been the most useful. It was so with Payson, who died deaths daily, and Robert Hall, who used to stop in the midst of his sermon and lie down on the pulpit sofa to rest and then go on again. Theodore Frelinghuysen had a great horror of dying till the time came and then went peacefully. Take care of the present, and let the future look out for itself. "Sufficient unto the day Is the evil thereof." Borrowing Mlsfortose. Again, the habit of borrowing misfortune is wrong because it unfits us for it when it actually does come. We cannot always have smooth sailing. Life's path will sometimes tumble among declivities and mount a steep and be thorn pierced. Judas will kiss our cheek and then sell us for 80 pieces of silver. Human scorn will try to crucify us between two thieves. We will hear the iron gate of the eepulchtr creak and grind as it shuts in tor these things br fwshedtngai They who light imaginary woes will comi out of breath into conflict with tb4 armed disasters of the future. They ammunition will have been wastes' long before they come under the gum of real misfortune. Boys in attempt* ting to jump a wall sometimes go so 'far back in order to get impetus that when they come up. they are exhausted, and these long races in order to get spring enough to vault trouble bring us up at last to the dreadful realisation with our strength gone. Finally, the habit of borrowing trouble is wrong because it is unbelief. God has promised to take care of us. The Bible blooms with assurances. Tour hunger will be fed; your sickness wilt be alleviated; your sorrows will be healed. God will sandal your feet and smooth your path, and along by frowning crag and opening grave sound the voices of victory and good cheer. The summer clouds that seem thunder charged really carry in their bosom harvests of wheat and shocks of corn and vineyards purpling for the winepress. The wrathful wave Will klBs the feet of the great Storm Walker. Our great Joshua will command, and above your soul the sun of prosperity will stand still. Bleak and wave struck Patmos shall have apocalyptic vision, and you shall hear the cry of elders and the sweep of wings and trumpets of salvation and the voice of hallelujah unto God forever. Dangerous Bridle Paths. Your way may wind along dangerous bridle paths and amid wolf's howl and the scream of the vulture, but the way still winds upward till angels guard it, and trees of life overarch it, and thrones line it, and crystalline fountains leap on it, and the pathway ends at gates that are pearl and streets that are gold and temples that are always open and hills that quake with perpetual song and a city mingling forever Sabbath and jubilee and triumph and coronation. Let pleasure chant her siren song; 'Tis not the song for me. To weeping it will turn ere long. For this is heaven's decree. But there's a song the ransomed sing To Jesus, their exalted King, With joyful heart and tongue. Oh, that's the song for me! Courage, my brother! The father does not give to his son at school enough money to last him several years, but, as the bills for tuition and board and clothing and books come in, pays them. So God will not give you; grace all at once for the future, but will meet all your exigencies as they come. Through earnest prayer trust him. People ascribe the success of a certain line of steamers to business skill and know not the fact that when that line of steamers started the wife of the proprietor passed the whole of each day when a steamer started in prayer to God for Its safety and the success of the line. Put everything In Gous hands and leave it there. Large interest money to pay will soon eat up a iarm, a store, an estate, and the interest on borrowed troubles will swamp anybody. "Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof." LANG ON AMERICAN HrSTORTHe 8ay» It H i » Little. If Anr, of the "OMnrro" Element. American history, as far as I know it, has not mystery enough for a really exciting romance. Nobody of the highest importance ever vanished away, disappeared; nobody except a certain regicide, and he was of English importation. The amiable and beautiful wife of none of your Presidents was ever accused of plotting, with an Admiral of your fleet, to blow up the President in the White House, the question of her guilt remaining deliciously obscure. Not one of your Presidents, after fighting his way to within a lance's length of a hostile general, ever vanished away, leaving public opinion uncertain as to whether he had gone, literally, to Jericho, or been put down a well. No occupant of the White House ever had two nephews who disappeared from the state prison, nor did any sane citizen ever torn up who claimed to be one of these missing children. Finally, your republic never kept a captive in a black velvet mask, concerning whom it was disputed whether he was a European diplomatist, a valet, s royal duke, a distinguished actor, a member of the Bonaparte family, a high-class Irish patriot or—the rightful President, whose place was being occupied by an impostor. The chronicles of Europe, especially of France, Scotland, and England, are rich in this kind of Rembrandtlike effects. We have plenty of chiaroscuro, especially of oscuro, and you have little, if any, of this element Hawthorne felt the want; he had to Invent his own mysteries."

Sanitarium, C o l u m b i a CARNEGIE PAYS OLD DEBT. Gives Gencroaa Interest on • Small Loan of Loo*. Ago. Who would not be a creditor of Mr. Andrew Carnegie? An American firm doing business in London recently asked Its patrons to suggest ideas for the distribution of Mr. Andrew Carnegie's wealth. Mr. Henry D. Lennox of Glasgow advised that the millionaire repay a loan of 11 shillings made by his aunt to aid the Carnegies to emigrate from Dunfermline in 1847. Mr. Lennox computed that at compound interest £$ was due. Mr. Carnegie has investigated the matter and found that Mr. Lennox was quite right in bis claim. The debt will not only-be paid, but the children of Mrs. Lennox will be endowed with a sum sufficient to keep them in comfort as long as they live. Mr. Lennox said in his letter: "When the Carnegies left Dunfermline they were so poor that the mother had to borrow money to take them to the United States. My aunt, though a poor woman herself, helped them-out to the extent of 11 shillings, but the promise to return the loan evidently escaped the memory of the beneficiaries, because they never repaid the sum borrowed. My aunt is dead, but she left two daughters, one of whom is the wife of a humble joiner in Dunfermline, while the other is a maiden lady engaged in a small drapery business In Edinburgh. Don't you think that if Mr. Carnegie knew this he would be willing to do handsomely by his mother's friends?" Mr. Carnegie called in person on the children of his benefactor, and thanked them for tho generosity of their mother. Prom minus 11 shillings to plus £70,000,000 is a financial transformation that would have stagered the good genie of Aladdin's lamp, but Mr. Carnegie found it not overhard.—London Express. Reasons WOMEN AS READERS, 'Bead' Vja* It is one thing to wish to have truth on our side, and another thing to wish to be on the side of truth,— Archbishop Whateley, "Mission Style" Furniture. The very newest thing in the way of furniture is called the "mission style," and was first suggested to the inventor by seeing an old Spanish mission chair brought from California in 1894. Its quaint outlines and interesting construction indicate the possibility of a scheme of handmade furniture built on the old early English architectural lines. Its name, "mission furniture," is aptly applied. There ia a restfulness to the eye and hand in the different pieces, and, though generally straight in line, there is nothing angular in effect Persons accustomed to Icvlshly carved framework might not approve of its unconventional and simple structure. Built of native ash, stained in browns, grays and greens; it Is guiltless of ornament, and no carving, not even a molding, diverts attention from the severely straight lines. There are solid-looking chain* for the dining-room with rush and leather bottoms, quaintly shaped writing tables for the library, cabinets for china, and all sorts of comfortable rockers in which to indulge in an af> ternoon siesta. Why They Do Not on Polities*. Vij The criticism often has been made* f that in railroad trains, waiting, rooms* dining rooms, street cars, everywhere, men are absorbed in the daily papers while women either do not read-them or merely skim the fashion and society columns. Women, it 1B said,, take no. interest in current events; and. hence are not fitted to participate in public affairs. A philosophical explanation may be found in the old adage; 'They have no need of keys who have no doors to unlock." Men of all classes scan the dally paper to learn the latest develop* ment in politics with as much, avidity as the average school girl seizes upon the next chapter in the serial story. They observe the political situation in other countries, because, in a measure^ it is interwoven with their own. They feel the keen interest because they themselves can help in the making of this history. It is natural that men should be deeply Interested ih. matters which they themselves have power to shape and control. Why should women give that close attention to public af- . fairs? Who cares for their opinion after it is formed? For how much does it Count in influencing government? It is said that the next year after the women of Colorado were en> franchised more works on political eeo^sj; nomy were sold than In ail Its previous, history. The women of that state are today as careful readers of. the newspapers as are the men. Give women everywhere the same incentive and they will become as well, informed; IX id true that the masses of' women do not keep so closely in touch srith current events as do the masses of men, and yet thousands of thi» generation have an Intelligent understanding: off them where ten of the past had' no> knowledge whatever. There is not one of the vital questions crowding upon us so closely and rapidly at the present time which affects women as deeply as it does men.—Susan R, Anthony/ in Chicago Chronicle. The- Canning of Yrnltai. Pn- tile early work of excavation at Pompeii, in the pantry of one ot the old and mostly destroyed palaces, an earthen vessel was found,, which, when opened, showed a quantity of well preserved figs. Examination proved thjfaf they- had been eooked and pot into t S b * vessel whffe hot The cover had a smalt aperture through which the steam escaped and drove out the air alsov The aperture was then securely closed with wax, and the fruit mafned sweet for twenty centui From this arose the modern practice canning fruits, vegetables end meats.

A* hs spoke U s irab gave a loud, -ehriB whistiev at the same time leaping across the spring and striking the star* in the face. But Shubal was aot to be Overcome so easily by one man. The wbUtlo ha4 alarmed him, and when he saw the fellow leap, he whs not wholly unprepared, The blow in the fao» blinded btiia f:r a moment, bui fX soon as hbv eyes served him, he caught his assailant by the throat and * hurled him to the ground. *What sort of a man are you?" the slave eried, as he held the .rascal down. ** '•'1 am a juggler," replied the Arab, holding fast upon ShubaVs tunic. "Let go my clothing, or HI kill you." The slave might have carried out his threat, but before he could make any decided movement to that end he found himself surrounded by a body of armed men. Quick as thought he leaped to his feet, leaving a pieca of his tunic behind him, and made a movement toward his horse; but he was too late to reach the saddle. Hal" a dozen strong hands were laid upon him, while as many more were busy with the horses of the females. The princess cried aloud for help, and would have leaped from her saddle had she not been held back. '^Fair lady," spoke a rough voice, in a harsh, strange dialect, "you must keep still, and give us as little trouble as possible." "But you will not harm me; good sirs." "You have no occasion for fear, lady. But tell me—who are you?" "I am the daughter of Aboul Cassem, the prime minister of Damascus." Could .'Albia have moved quickly enough, she would have prevented her mistress from answering this question, but the story had b?en told. Ulin innocently thought that the name of her father would strike the marauders with awe, and that they would fear to molest her further, but In this she was somewhat mistaken,- as subsequent eventvpfoved. — " ''By my life, comrades," cried he, who seemed to be the leader of the party, "we have found a rich prize. Hold still, noble lady. We will'not harm you. Let us look to this unruly slave of yours, and then you shall be properly cared for. You might have fallen into wor»e hands than ours." When Ulin had collected her senses, so that she could observe and compre- . hend things about her, she looked to see her real situation. She counted eight of the Arabs, and she had no doubt that they were robbers. Four of them were securing the slave, while the other four were watching the horses. Shubal was very soon pinioned, and restored to his feet, after which she and Albia were lifted from • their saddles. "Don't be alarmed," said the leader, as the princess cried out for mercy. "You shall be restored to your horses very soon. We have horses close at hand, and when they are brought, you shall be on your way again." "You will set Shubal free?" "He shall be free soon enough. Rest easy a few moments, lady. One of my men has gene after our animals. We left them upon the other side of the wood.** "But why have you taken us from our horses?" asked our heroine. **You will see that anon, fair lady. Ah—here comes my man. Now, my fair damsels, you shall understand the whole matter. These horses of yours are not such ones as I would have you ride. I have some here much better." "What does' he mean?" asked Ulin, speaking In a low tone to her bondmaiden. "Wait," replied Albia. trying td conceal her real suspicions. "They may inform us." Before Ulin could ask another question the Arab leader came forward with two horses, upon which he directed his companion to fix the ladies' saddles; and when this had been done he turned to the princess, and informed her that she might take her seat again. She would have opposed the movement, but a strong hand was laid upon her, and, almost before she knew it,: she was once more upon her saddle. "You will excuse me," the fellow said, "but as this horse will not carry you quite so easily as your own, I will secure yon in your place." As he spoke he passad a strong cord about Ulin's body, and fastened it to the girth upon either side. The same thing was done for Albia, and then Attention was directed to Shubal, who was seated upon another strange horse, and likewise hound in his place, "Whit can they mean?" asked the princess* gaining Another opportunity to speak to her atteadant "I daft aot gue.s," said Albia. "JUja Apt speak in, that way," urged Win.:*Tell me wheiydtt"tnink^r command yon." > • ' "Mir, dear, mistress,", replied the trcnd^aldeny reluctantly, 'their meaning is # l # * t Aftoulb; • Th^s*v-hors«3 will followthehr maStl*!*^ *- '/Ha^Tj^Bd aj» we t. prisoners?" yL'^&\;pfc:to4&]wpf:tor the b«t,. s.We m»y not be harmed." At this juncrure the Arabs had mounted 'their horses, three of them taking the animals which belonged to their prisoners, and at a word from the leader they tfcere^on the move. Ulin instinctively clung to the rein to hold herself steady, but her horse noticed not the guiding of her hand. The leader of the Farty rode ia advance; then followed two more of the gang; then came two females; and behind them followed the others, with the slaves under charge. Through the wood they rode at an easy pace, and when they had gained the open plain beyond they struck into a swift gallop. Ulin had discovered to her satisfaction that the strange horse paid no attention to the rein, so she only sought to keep an easy seat. She was weak with fear and alarm, and all sorts of dreadful pictures arose to her Imagination as she sped on. She could not speak with Albia, for the clattering of hoafs drowned her voice. What did it mean? Where would it end? " On they sped, straight over the plain —on, on, on—without halting or turning— on through the darkness of the night—on, league after league—until the gray streaks of morning appeared In the eastern horizon. Another wood was before them, and when it was reached, the party stopped. Not far distant, where a clump of noble palms reared aloft their plaited foliage, a crystal spring burst forth from the green earth, and the Arabs held their panting horses back from the tempting beverage. "Now, lady, you may find repose," said the leader, as he .came and lifted Ulin from her seat. "We shall remain here a few hours. ~X-wiU h?. with you again presently." He turned and handed Albia to the ground, and then went to where his followers were taking care of Shubal. "Albia, what will they do with us?" cried the princess, clasping her hands in terror. But the bondmaiden could not answer. If she held suspicions, she dared not speak them. "O. I wish I had not taken this false step! It Is a punishment for my sin!" "Hush, dear mistress. It is our fate. It is no punishment. Wait until we know what this Arab means to do with us." "What can he mean?" It must be something dreadful. Why has he taken us away so far? 0, Albia, I am frightened." "No, no, sweet lady. They will not kill us." "Ah," murmured the princess, with folded hands, "there may be a fate from which death would be a happy escape!" The bondmaiden shuddered, and from her thoughts at thai moment she 'could frame no reply which she dared to speak .aloud. CHAPTER~XV. The Arab's Purpose. As Ulin sat upon the greansward with her back against a palm tree, and one hand resting upon Albia's arm, she could take a clear view of hsr captors. The sun was Just tinging the distant mountain tops with its golden light, and the last shadow of the night had gone. The Arabs had watered the horses and left them where they could crop the green grass, and were now gathered together, listening to the words of their chief. They were rough, dark looking men, these Arabs. Their clothing was sparse and poor, and their skin swart and dirty: but their weapons were bright and keen and their horses in most perfect condition, both as to health and cleanliness. A little while they conversed together, and then one of them brought forth the bundle which had been taken from Shubal. It was opened by the leader, and the articles of clothing which it contained were spread out upon the ground. Folded up in a silken scarf was found a purse, from which fell a score or more of broad gold piece3; whereupon the marauders gave utterance to various exclamations of satisfaction. "They are robbers," said Ulin, as she saw them dividing the gold. "Certainly." responded Atbia. "I have suspected that from the first" "Can they belong to Julian's band?" "Why should you ask such a question, my mistress? Yon know that Julian would - never have such men . about him." J As she spoke, the Arab leader cams ^^^ Have a hops. t 0 * a r d f t j f t * ^ ^ A , £ ^ them fey » tew moments, he paid, ad* ^JT*. d r e s j t M ^ ittinc***: :'% -V. .< **•*• "I hope yon tod yourself none the worse for this little deviation frost your* original course; for, let me assure you, the meeting has AJtorded me much pleasure Doss the princess Ulin know who is speaking to her?" "No, sir." replied UHn. "Then she shall know into whose protecting hand she has had the fortune of falling. I am Al Abbas, Does the name sound familiar?'" "No, sir," '.'It is familiar enough to me," said Albia. • "Ah, pretty one—and what know you of it?" "I have heard the name, sir, when speech has been made touching a cer- ]4A4B Arab robber,' whose deeds had caused* him to be feared by honest travelers." The rascal seemed pleased with this remark, and smilingly returned: "You have hit the truth, my fair damsel. I am the robber, Al Abbas; and I am a terror to those who fear to lose their money. But, my dear lady," he continued, turning to the princess, "you cannot have any such fears. We have found some little money belonging to you, and I take the liberty of asking you if you have any Jewels about you." He approached nearer as he spoke, and held out his hand. Ulin knew not how to refuse, and she furthermore saw that refusal would be useless; so she drew forth from, her bosom a casket of chamois skin, bound with bands of gold, and handed it over. The robber took it, and opened it; and as his eyes rested upon the sparkling Jewelspearl, diamond, emerald, topaz and opal—he gave utterance to an exclamation of delight "By my life, lady, you came -well provided. I will take care of these gemB for you. They will be much safer in my custody." "I understand you," said the princess, as she saw the fellow close the casket and place it in his own bosom. "You mean to keep those jewels, as you do the gold which you have found." "You are shrewd at guessing, lady." "I think I have good grounds for my opinion, sir. Take them if you want them; and in return I only ask that you let us go free. You are welcome to all that you have if you will give us our liberty." j " Y n n w?ll rrnt Ytntnrn y n n g o " "I do not wish to rest long." "Nor would I have you. But for the present you had better lie down upon this soft grass, and find some slight repose. I will- call you when we move." And as be thus spoke, he turned away and joined bis companions. "Will they let us go?" murmured Ulin, letting her head fall upon hei companion's shoulder. "I hope so, my mistress. But come —we cannot learn their intent until they plesse to tell us; and In the meantime you bad better seek some rest You are tired and worn. Lay youi head upon my lap—so. And we wilJ hope for the best." Albia drew the head of her mistresgently down, and in a little while the weary princess was asleep. And the bondmaiden did not long remain upon the watch. Her own lids were heavy and very soon her senses were locked In slumber. Al Abbas moved noiselessly to the spot where the worn maidens slept, and presently others of his band joined him. "By the blood of Cu3h," muttered the robber chief, "they are beautiful enough! The lady Ulin is the fairest maiden I ever saw." "They are both of them far too beautiful to be roaming at large," said another of the gang. "They are worth more than jewels,* added a third. "You are right," responded the leader. "This princess would sell for a diadem, beyond the Syrian desert But let them sleep, and when they arc rested we will call them. If wc would turn the prize Into gold, wc must not suffer it to fade from neglect." After this the robbers sat down tc their morning's meal; and when they had done eating some of them went tc sleep upon the grass. At the expiration of two hours Ulin awoke with a sharp cry, and caugh! her companion convulsively by the arm, and cried: "O!—and it was only a dream. How frightful it was." "Only a dream, dear mistress. Wc are safe and well." "Thank heaven!" Al Abbas, as soon as he saw thai the girls were awake, gave a shrili whistle, such as he had sounded on a previous occasion, and in an instant his men were upon their feet The horses, also, noticed the signal, foi they lifted their heads and moved ur together, as though ready to serve their masters.

Over 800 fine pickeral and bass which were not dead were taken to Sweezey'e lake near by, where they revived. The mill pond is a large one but it was not supposed it containedso many rand such fine fish. The cause of the epidemic is attributed to the poisoning of the water by dead and rotting weeds.

Twenty years ago twenty per cent of the employes of the New York Central railroad were discharged yearly for drinking. Now only about one per cent, yearly are so dismissed. This registers a decided advance in public opinon on the temperence question, at least where it comes to th* em? ploy meat of men in responsible engeering or commercial positions. The distinguising feature of the eighth international temperance congress, recently held in Vienna was the general aggreement that the use of alcohol could be dispensed with in medicine and wise ly omicted from ordinary life. The congress was composed of representatives of all the leading countries of Europe, including officials from France and Busia. Celebrated phsicians and directors of inebriate institutions and insane asylums made addresses agreeing that the results of their experiments and experience showed that alcohol was neither a food, a source of strength, nor even the best of stimulants, from a medical standpoint. They declared that instead of alcohol diminishing the dangers from infectious diseases, it reduced considerably the power of resistance to them. A distinguished Vienna doctor, Professer Max Kassowitz, who is regarded as the leading authority on children's diseases, warned parents against the extremly injurious effects of even the smallests quantity of alcohol .upon children, saying it led frequently to the severest functional derangement and sowed the * * * • mm **V •"> •wams mamm mmm* ortland Prats has erally to eoal consumers.

The Jackson citizen thinks that the whole system of the encampment of our state troops is in need of reorginization and renovation. "It shonld be discussed by the press and the people, and a pnblic sentiment shonld be stimulated that will compel a complete overhauling of onr state militia system. The present method of state encampments have became an expensive and really useless means of both military dicipline and instruction. The state is paying up wards of a hundred thousand dollars a year for a farce and a fizzle. If this disgrace cannot be remidied it should be abolished. As a means of dicipline it is of little good.

Not many days later another Jjeavy, rain necessitated a repetition of the operation. As tbe celery grew tbe furrow was gradually filled up by means of the cultivator and boe. When the plants were about a foot high, they were "bandied" and earthed up fpr blanching.

Two weeks later it was nee* essary te again bank up the plants, since tbey bad grown considerably in that time. It was then past the middle of October, and no further banking was necessaryto blanch the stalks. The spinach and lettuce planted July 23 failed to grow. The turnips did well until about the 1st of September, when the hot weather caused tbe leaves to turn yellow at the tips and finally die. The crop was almost an entire failure. A few peas planted Aug. 18 on the land previously occupied by early cabbage made a very dwarf but healthy growth and. produced a small crep early in October. Of the late planted vegetables tbe celery, winter radishes, beans and cucumbers produced satisfactory crops, so that, although some of the crops failed, the late planting as a whole was not unprofitable.

A Mysterious Death Excites the People of Saginaw, K COUNTY AGENT'S TROUBLE. riM Qovrnot Isaus* More- Pardons — An *Knsiae*r*a r a t a l Mistake-Krsata s a d Gossip From All Parte of the State Staved Oowa'for Beady Readlatf. The day of the week to be selected for the coronation of Edward VII, in the coming year, is a subject of speculation. No sovereign of that realm has been crowned on Sunday since the time of Queen Elizabeth, and only one coronation in English history took place on Friday^ It is safe, therefore, to exclude those two days from any prediction concerning the stately ceremonial. "The Paris Messenger" says that an attempt to resuscitate the old Roman amphitheater near the Jardln des Plantes, Paris, is about to be made. This ancient arena, which is now used partly as a playground for poor children and partly for omnibus stables, has a remarkable history. It is one of the largest known Roman arenas, and dates back to the first century. There is evidence that the Emperor Julian held sports there. Woo-Tong, a Chinese merchant of New York, left New York the other day for the Pan-American^ Exposition. Soon after the train started he saw Grace Bradshaw, of New York, a pretty American girl, paid her some slight attention,- rapidly became acquainted and finally asked her to be his wife, and after two hours of argument won her consent. They alighted at Wilkesbarre, Pa., to be married, but being unable to obtain a license went to New York state and were wedded. The sword, which has had so long and so distinguished a military record, has been placed nn thp rpHrpd Mat. British army authorities have decided that in the future unmounted officers ehall carry carbines instead of swords during manoeuvers and in active service. The decision is the result of experience gained in the war in South Africa. The sword is not only useless as a weapon, except in close quarters, but it serves as a mark to distinguish the officer from his men. He thus becomes a target for the enemy's sharpshooters, and when • the private soldiers have small power of Initiative, as is the case in most European armies, the^ loss of a large number of officers may mean^disaBter. The passing of the sword is one of the signs of the changed conditions of war. An automobile savings- bank is the latestyFrench novelty. The authorities of Mezieres, wishing to encourage thrift among the peasants, have had it built to specifications. It is an electric motor-car containing four seats, "one"T6r""the~ driver"and "three""in" the rear arranged arouna a small table. Folding shelves make a convenient desk for a person standing beside the vehicle. Under the table is a small safe. The passengers are two clerks from the local treasury department and a cashier. The car travels about the country, making short stops in the villages on prearranged days, and receiving such sums as the citizens or farmers of the neighborhood may wish to deposit. So far, however, the innovation uas met little encouragement The peasants seem distrustful of the agility of the bank, and disinclined to draw out the old Btocking from its hiding- place under the hearthstone. Cash B—l» B « « * M a « t l o » . Attorney-General Oren has given an opinion ou the powers and duties of the state board of equalization in the matter of equalizing the valuations of the various counties of the stare, l i e holds that anything short of an equalization on the basis of cash valuations would be unconstitutional, the board having no authority to depart from what they believe to be actual cash values. This means that no percentage less than cash value can legally be made the basis of the equalization, but, of course, leaves the board to determine what sucli cash value Is. The opinion disposes of ex-Couiniisslrnior Campbell's proposition that the board determine what the cash value is, and then equalize on a basis of 75 per cent of such valuation in order to keep the local assessors in line and not unduly Increase tho annual revenue of thu Michigan university. A n o t h e r S t a r v e R e p o r t e d . Anton Gurchke, a well-to-do Gorman, of Detroit, concluded a fast of 4'2 days Sunday noon •when he ute thr-v lamb chops, two potatoes and a tomato. *He said that the food tasted better than any he had ever eaten. At night he ate some oatmeal wi*h fresh milk and a baked apple. He avers that he felt no inconvenience from tlu» im d and he Is satisfied thnt ids .on? fafet has entirely cured him from the trouble In his stomach, which the best physicians could not <*ur»> wit), nu*Vtcines. The doctor who treated hi;u says that he will eat but Lv\ J meals a day for a month, and then he can eat any time and anything he pleases. Mr. Gurchke and his wife are very earnest in the statement that he • had not eaten a morsel of food in six weeks prior to Sunday. A ^ B o i l e r - C o u n t e r V i c t i m . Clarence D. Miller, aged 34, was killed on the roller-coaster, near the approach to the Belle Isle bridge, Detroit, Monday evening. Miller's death was tragic, and-pccuUarly sad in view Was » K i f l M CoMMlttedt The Haginaw police * have secured evidence .that either a murder, sufclde or accidental drowning occurred there within tho tost week. On the 3d inst a man's complete outfit, hat clothes', underclothes, shoes, etc., were found on the tank of the river, and at the time of the discovery appeared t * have been there about a week. The pockets were turned inside oat. Next Cu.pt. James Walsh, of the police force* found near the same spot small hits of. paper that when put together proved to bo an insurance certificate. It was issued by the Loyal Guard to John Charles Kunert, nged 20 years; at Plymouth. Mich., and bears the date of July 18, 1001,,and was for $2,000, payable to a sister of the holder, Maggie M. Kunert. A receipt for the July assessment, amounting to $1.58, and bearing date of July 16, was found with the certificate. John Kunert left Plymouth Ang. 20 for Saginaw, intend mm ing to stop at Coleman. Relatives at Coleman report that he left there for Saginaw to secure employment on the Perc Marquette as a fireman. His name is not ou the books of the company either as an employe* or applicant, and no one has been found who remembers seeing him in Saginaw. D e a d l y D y n a m i t e . John Elchman, engineer at the Ajax dynamite works of Henry H. Thomas on the Kawkawlin road, near Bay City met with a shocking death in a peculiar manner Friday morning. Between the nltro-glycerlne factory and the dynamite packing house there was nn old iron pipe through which the nitro-fflycerine was conveyed from the former to the latter prior to the explosion last season. This pipe has not been in use since. Elchman went to remove it and in making the uncoupling of a joint used hammer and chisel. While he was at work the pipe exploded, crashing the top of his head, tearing off all his clothing and blowing hJs body 15 feet. There must hav« been some nitre-glycerine in the pipe. The explosion tore the side off the nltro-glycerlne factory, but otherwise did not disturb it. In the factory was 1,200 pounds of the explosive. of the fact that he was to have been married this month to Mamie Burr.s, a pretty and attractive young lady whose home is at Mt. Morris, Mich. He had gone v to the roller-coastsr a little after 8 o'clock and was seen to rise In his seat when the car reached the top round. He was whirled out and fell to the inclined plane below, striking in such a position that he lay across the tracks. An ascending car struck him there, and he doubled up, falling between the tracks to the ground fifteen feet below. The injured man was taken to a hospital, where he died early next morning. Ttvo W r a t h y W o m e n of ft'tlel. Henry W. Grover, a printer employed'at the office of the Niles Daily Sun, was terribly horsewhipped Monday morning at tne omce of the Sun by Mrs. John Copp and Mrs. W. Scott. The women were furious^ at a scurrilous newspaper article which they attribute to Grover, and they used their rawhides with telling effect. People who noticed the set determination in the faces of the ladies as they Trassed" through the streets on their way to the Sun office, followed them, and the crowd cheered them as they rained blow after blow upon Grover's coatless form. The ladies were accompanied also by their brothers, who looked on until the former had exhausted their strength. The police then put in an appearance but no arrests were made. K i l l e d hr a B e e r B o t t l e , Howard Burchfield threw a pop bottle at Dan Hlckey, a Charlotte saloonkeeper, in front of the Williams House. The missile missed Mickey and struck a boy named Leonard Green, of Eaton Rapids, on the head and he died from the injury inflicted.

There is a reverse side to the semblance of luxury expressed by the mirrors, the gilding, the velvet carpets of many apartment and boarding houses. The head of the lace department in a great store recently spent her two weeks' vacation 'in a hospital. She laughed at the idea of being ill or even nervous; but she was tired, and for ten yea,rs had not slept in a real bed. fn one apartment house, in order to keep her room fitted to receive callers, she slept on a sofa that opened in the middle, and had neither sides nor foothoard. Six out of seven nights the covers pulled off her feet. At another place her folding bed fell on her and nearly killed her, so she traded it for * narrow divan, from which pillows and blankets slipped off nightly. At the hospital she finally found a bed wide enough to sleep in crosswise, a bed by day as well as by night, a bod tuckable, with a bolster and counterpane; and she stayed in it for two ^eekt.—Iacountlesa cases the makt» believe bed ibol of a sham and comfortless existence for which apartment life is largely responsible.

' R W w i ' A ' i v SHOT THE PRESIDENT A Story of Grime Which Shocks the World. The Wounded Executive's Condition is Growing More Encouraging. The Sheeting Was Done on the Pan American Exposition Grounds—-The World Stands Aghast at the Horrible and Cowardly Crime. T h e Buffalo V i s i t . "President McKinley left Washington for the Pan-American exposition on Wednesday, arriving at Buffalo the same evening, where he was received j with n grand ovation. He was taken to the residence of President John G. Milhurn, who entertained Mr. and Mrs. MeKinley as his personal guests. The\ president visited the exposition Thursday And there delivered the address upon the future of the nation that has i already excited world-wide interest as; the declaration of a new policy for his j country. Friday morning he visited! Niagara Falls, and had returned to the | 4~ exposition grounds at 3:30 o'clock.! where he was receiving visitors, when' the assassin took advantage of the occasion to tire the shots that put the president's life in jeopardy. ' T h e A s s a s s i n a t i o n . He went to the grounds to attend a pwblle reception In his honor in the Temple of Music. A long line of people had passed, each receiving a smile and a hearty hand clasp. When Assassin C«olgos» approached, he grasped the president's hand nnd as quick as thought fired twice from n revolver -which was In his free hand, concealed from view by a large white handkerchief. The stricken man was given *• fcnajMhite assistance and the assassin w*» trtnioned and disarmed after quite n struggle, being removed to a city police gtntion under a heavy guard. T h e C o w a r d l y A s s a s s i n . The birthplace of Cxolgosa was at first given as Detroit, then ns Clevcs f land, Ohio, and finally Alpena, Mich.,* k from which place the family removed to Cleveland nine years ago. There were nine cnlldren in the family. The • stepmother of Leon when told of his cm-line *aW: "I wn't believe Leon is the one; He was such a timid boy, so " ~wfratrt-*it, everathiPK, Why, he wo* the bJajkeaVcewavd you ever saw in your lifo. Everybody .knew he had no courage. He was afraid of his shadow. A boy could scare him by threatening him. Truly. Leon would not. dare to do tilings other boys did, so timid was ho. Ho was backward when other people were around, and I don't see how he found courage to go in- the great crowd." E m m a G o l d m n n IIin I n s p i r a t i o n . The assassin lias signed a confession covering six pages of foolscap, which states that lie is an anarchist, and that ho became an enthusiastic memln> r of I hat body through the influence of Emma Coidman. whose writings he had read and whoso lectures he had listened to. He denies having any confederate and says he decided on the act three days before and bought the revolver with which the act was committed in Buffalo. He professes no regrets, says he is an anarchist and did his duty. He sleeps and eats well and under the process of '*s wen ting" to secure information as to his accomplices, if he had any, he remains cool and collected. -* T h e P r e s i d e n t ' s W o v s f d a . The attending physicians/give this description of thfc president's wounds: "One bullet struck on the upper portion of the breast bone, glancing and not penetrating; fae second bullet penetrated the abdomen five Inches below the left nipple and OIM? and a half inches to the left of the median line. The abdomen was opened through the line of the bullet wound. It was found that the bullet had penetrated the stomach. The opening In the front of the stomach was carefully closed with silk stitches, after which a search was made for a hole in the back wall of the stomach. This was found and closed In the same way. The further course of the bullet conM not be discovered, although careful search was made. The abdominal wound, was closed without drainage. No Injury to the intestines or other abdominal organs was discovered. The patlent stood the operation well." R e m o v e d F r o m t h e G r o a n d n . An automobile ambulance conveyed, under strong guard, the wounded president to the home of Mr. Milburn on Delaware avenue, where he and Mrs. McKinley were being entertained, and where she was resting during her husband's reception on the grounds. Here watched over by the best physicians and trained nurses the couutry can produce, the chief executive of the United Stales is battling for his life, which is at this time of more importance to the country and the world than human foresight can determine. Mm. M c K i n l e y A n x i o u s . Director-General W. I. Buchanan prevented the news of the crime reaching Mrs. McKinley until the physicians had operated on her husband and dressed the wounds. The Niagara Falhs trip had tired Mrs. McKinley. and 011 returning to the Milburn residence she took leave of her nieces, the Misses Barber, and the president's niece, Miss Duncan, as well as their hostess. Mrs. Milburn, and went to her room to rest. Mr. Buchanan broke'the j news as gehtlyas"p6SSibto to the nieces j and consulted with them and Mrs. Milj burn as to the best course to pursue in i hreakiiigTtho news to Mrs. McKinley. j Ir was finally decided that on her 1 awakening, or shortly thereafter. Mr. ] Buchanan should break the news to ! li#r. it", in the meantime her physician., I Dr. Hixey. approved. Mrs. McKinley I awoke from her sleep at Kbout- r»:30 I o'clock. She was reeling splendidly, j she said, and at once took up her j crocheting, which is one of her favorj ite diversions. Whije the light of day j remained she continued with her j crocheting, keeping to her room. When it became dusk, and the president had not arrived, she began to feel anxious concerning him. "I ponder why he does not come," she asfced one of her nieces. H o w She R e c e i v e d t h e Nevr». Dr. Rixey visited Mrs. McKinley just before 7 o'clock and shortly after told her the news in the most gentle manner. She stood it bravely, though considerably affected. With the exception of (he physicians ami attendants, Mrs. McKinley was the only persou who crossed the threshold. The president asked to see her, and his physicians did not have the heart to refuse his request. She was there but a few minutes, seated at his bedside, as he in his devotion to her in her illness has so often been at hers. Mrs, McKinley had been warned not to talk, and the president and his wife exchanged only a few words. It was only when lie asked her to be brave for both their sakes that she faltered- and almost broke dowu. With choking throat and brimmius eyes she promised with a bow of her head. Almost Immediately thereafter she was led from the room by Pi*. Rlxey. T i l * P h y s i c i a n s ' P e a r s * The n 1 tending physicians fear Inf. ammailon and at the first sign in that direction the country must steel itself for the blow. For the time being the tAfa&HP*1 t ^ bodr! % ZjttM!'H•"* &$%> &l« m«tlHm Iwr Wl&e it b4urkd€J been tfb»oWteIy W cared, they all nctee that after passmg through the abdominal cavity and perforating both wall* of the stomach porhHpg'it lodged m the fleshy muscles of the back, and if necessity required It eould be easily located with the Roentgen ray and extracted. They agree that It Is now of more importance that the president should recover from the shock of the first operation than that the bullet should be removed. •Peritonitis Is what they dread, and after that septic po>enlng and suppuration of the wound. The Aaavehlsto Bejolee, The anarchist group of Paterson, N. J., express no regret at the shooting of President McKinley. On the contrary, there was a great gathering of the members in that city and Czolgosz who shot the president was toasted in beer, time and time again. In Pittsburg an unknown man yelled "Hnrrnh tnr tho mnn, whft shot Mc- Kinley." In an instant he was knocked downv and with a hundred men trying to get a kick at him. he was in a fair way to be killed. He finally escaped. Shouting his joy over the attempted assassination of President McKinley, Fred Gardner precipitated a riot In front of the newspaix»r offices in Washington street. Chicago. He narrowly escaped being killed by the infuriated crowd. When the Italian anarchists at Chicago, near Pittsburg, heard of the attempted assassination of President Mc- Kinley they held a*big jubilation. A mob went out from Pittsburg and drove the anarchists out of town. A number of shots were fired. Sufferer's I*resent Condition. Daring Sunday and up to this (Monday) morning no unfavorable symptoms have been noted and the distinguished sufferer rested with fair comfort during the day and night The prospects of recovery are very cheering Still at Laroje. The six masked men who robbed the south-bound Cotton Belt passenger train four miles from Texarkana. Ark., are thought to be In that city. It has been learned that the robbers secured one bag of gold which required the combined efforts of two men to carry from the express car to the engine. The through safe was blown open with dynamite. It is believed the rrtbhers are Texarkana men. The amount of the booty it is now said will reach nearlv $.10,()1)0. Pursuit is now confined strictly to Texarkana. Want It Stopped. New York merchants whose business has been affected by depredations of guerrilla bands on the Isthmus of Panama, suggest that it is a+rmtlr-rmte-44t^-t4wted States landed troops to put a stop to the disturbances, which are injuring trade and threatening American, property.

This question lately formed tbe subject of a bet to tbe little town of N——. In Baden. A swallow was caught and its legs and wings tied up with a piece of silk thread and placed en the scale*. To everybody's surprise it was found to weigh only ten Beavers' Teeth. Of the euttlng power of the beaver's teeth Frank H. Risteen says in Rod and Gun: "The beaver is really a sort of portable pnlp mill, grinding up most any kind of wood that comes his way. I once measured a white birch tree, 22 inches through, cut down by a beaver. A single beaver generally, if not always, amputates the tree, and when it comes down the whole family fall to and have a regular frolic with the bark and branches. A big beaver will bring down a fair sized snpling, say three Inches through; in about two minutes and a large tree in about an hour. "One of the queerest facts about tbe beaver is tbe rapidity with which his long, chisel shaped teeth Tin recover from an Injury. I have known beavers to break their teeth in biting a trap, and when I caught them again ten days afterward yon couldn't see a sign of the break. Tbe teeth bad grown out One Year For Only fVolfce.

KEARNEY Has Traveled Over 10,000 Miles this Season for Pleasure. The "Fitch" Aquatic Cream Separator. If you're running a dairy,—be there one .cow or one hundred— your profit dedends upon the quality of cream you're getting. If you aren't getting ajl the cream there is in your milk, you're losing just that much money. By the old system of milk-setting you lose from ten to twenty iper cent, of the cream, besides doing a lot of unnecssary work. Cold water is added to the warm milk and the sudden change in temperture nud consistency causes the cream and milk to separate: and because ot' the cream being the lighter it is forced to the top. Yon get all the cream in an hour after milking, your skimmilk is sweet and clean, the cream is smooth, sweet, firm and clean, and requires less than half the time formerly required to churn it. Tbe butter is better, sweeter, and you get from ten to twenty per cent, more of it. No pans, crocks or milk cans needed, no extra labor, no waste cream. Yon can wash it in twoUainutes and have ready for the next {milking. i Taking it all in all, il saves the women's work, costs less than one.half as much as a full equipment of pans, skimmers, jars, crocks, cans, etc., besides saving enough cream in one year to pay for itself tenfold.

Hardly knowing what sin did, Ulin suffered herself to be lifted into the •addle; and In a few moments more Albia was by her side. **Why have you bound Shubal to his seat?" she asked. •That he may ride safely. He is a bungling fellow, and might tumble off If he were not secured. But don't let that worry you." CHAPTER XVI. The Strange Horseman. At this moment the guard came near to the place where his mistress «at, bis horse having moved of his own accord, and as she turned towards him lie spoke to her: "My dear good lady, they lie to you When they tell you tbat they mean you no harm. I have heard them talk and . I know their plans. We are all to be _ sold into slavery in the kingdom bejFOnd the Syrian desert!"

You, my mistress, are to be sold for a—" The guard's speech was stopped by two of the robbers, who threw him back upon his horse, and stopped his mouth with their hands. "Sir robber," cried Ulin, stretching her hands out towards him, "deceive me no more. I think my poor slave has told me the truth." "'A pest upon the slave, lady! His tongue shall come out by the root3 if he speaks again without my leave. 3Uck to your saddle, and keep up yonr courage." As the Arab spoke he leaped upon the back of his horse, and ere the prin- - cess could ask another question, the party was upon the move, the order of arrangements being the same as before. J'We are not going towards the Pharphar," said Ulin, "No," replied Albia. "We are gotnythe- other-way." — "Then Shubal told us the truth." "Alas, dear mistress, I dare not say." "But you think so?" \ "I cannot deny It" -"And you thought so before you heard Shubal speak?" "I feared something of the kind." Al Abbas overheard the girls as they thus conversed, and he was presently by their side. "'Lady Ulin," he siid, and he spoke sternly and sharply; "you^are now on the move, and when you stop again it will be far away from Damascus. I owe something to the officers of that city, and I will repay a part of the debt by taking you away from them. You are to go just as far as I please to take you; and the more quieLly you go the better it will be for you;, so you had better begin to accommodate yourself to the circumstances." He rode back to his place and Ulin grasped the bow of her saddle for sup- • port. "Courage," said Albia, riding as near a s she could. "There may ba some way to escape.

She must get away from them. And if this was to be done she must summon all her energies to the work. But, alas! the case looked hopeless enough; what could two weak girls do against such odds? Only some interposition beyond their own efforts could save them. So, after all. if help was to come, it must come from some unknown source. And could such help be found? If fervent prayers could be answered, and if the most holy need could be met, it might be hoped for. At the end of eome two or three hours the party came to a thick grove of palms; near which was a spring, and here they stopped just long enough to water the horses. They had started on again, and were at some little distance from the grove, when one of the Arabs who rode in the rear, came forward and Informed his leader that a horseman was following them. Al Abbas looked back and saw that the stranger wac a black, and that he rode f. swift and powerful horse. J "He wishes to overtake us," said the fellow /who had come from the rear. "Then he must ride for it," returned the chief. "I cannot stop. I wonder where he came from." "When I first saw him, he seemed to have just emerged from the grove." In a short time the strange horseman had come so near that the light of his eyes could be seen, and Al Abbas saw that he must soon overtake them; so he concluded to drop behind and find out what was wanted, evidently desiring that the men should not see what manner of prizes he had in charge, at least until his character was known. The robbers were directed to slacken their speed a little, but to keep on their course, and having given this order, the chief turned his horse's head and rode back; and ere long he was within speaking distance of the stranger, who proved to be a stout, well-made man, with a face as black as night. "Hallo!" cried Al Abbas, reining in his horse. "Who are you?" "I am king of this plain," replied the African, at the same time reining in his own horse; "and I have come out to see who thus trespasses upon my domain. Who are you " The Arab hesitated in his answer, as he supposed the black must be crazy. "Who are you, and what sort of company do you lead?" cried the African. "I lead my own company; and if you want anything, come and get it," answered the Arab. "I want nothing but to know who you are; and the next time you come this way, be sure and stop again at the grove of the date-palms. I will have a banquet prepared for you." Thus speaking, the .stranger wheeled his horjse in" a broad circlerancTparted back towards the place whence he had come. Al Abbas rode back to his party, and when they asked him what manner of man he had met, he replied that it was only a poor crazy fool, who imagined that he owned the broad plain upon which they were traveling. "He is worth capturing," suggested one of the robbers. "We could not capture him if we would," said the chief. "He rides a better horse than we own." While the Arabs were gazing back after the retiring horseman Albia drew close to the side of her mistress and spoke, quickly and excitedly: "Did you recognize him?" -"Whom?" "The crazy man who followed us." "No." "It was Osmir!" "Osmir!" "Hush! Not a word. As sure as I live it was Osmir; and be assured we have help at hand." / "But he has gone." "Aye, for he only came out to see who we were. Be sure he has recognized us." Ulin felt her heart bound up with springing hope; and her next prayer was uttered with returning faith in heaven's protecting power. CHAPTER XVIT. By the Banks of the Pharphar. Half an hour after Al Abbas had resumed his place at the head of his troop, the same robber who had be* fore come from the rear, again rode to the front, this time bringing intelligence that a number of horsemen) were pursuing them.., The chief drew ,h> hosse aside and looked back, ana a*w fo»£ ft** coniuj*., The* - w t n | waU mrw'WB'wdiwww'-wf.1 Mm'ft'idHHu1 •!,<»» H** ar * • » What mounted, andaeemed to be in *>t*qn> aulC ' '„•?•> "•' V * v* * • • ' W "There if something mere than fte**f ***••**••• * cident in this," said Al Abbas. "The fellow is with them who followed n# before." "Two of those men are white," nv. marked the robber who had ridden up from the rear. "What can they want of us?" "Never mind/' returned the chief. "If they want us, let them catch us. And if, beyond that, they want mora, let them make, their wants known." Thus speaking, the Arab leader resumed his place, and urged his horses forward with increasing speed. Brer and anon he cast his eyes behind him, and it was ere long evident that the strangers were rapidly gaining upon him. - "We may as well stop now as at any time," said Al Abbas, addressing the man who rode by his side. "I will halt and ascertain what these fellows want. It is about time our horses had a breathing spell." At a simple order from their chief, the Arabs wheeled their horses in a circle, bringing up In line, facing their pursuers, with their prisoners in the rear. "Who are you that thus pursues and stops me?" demanded Al Abbas. "I am Julian, the Scourge of Damascus!" replied the foremost of the opposite party. At the sound of that name the Arab trembled, for he knew that no king's officer had been more persistent in driving petty robbers from the plains of Damascus than had Julian. But presently he recovered himself, seeming to think that, were the man's assertion true, the opposing force was not strong enough to be feared. "If you be Julian," he cried, "you have come forth with a small retinue. But what seek you?" "I have come to take from you those prisoners that you hold. Deliver them up to me, and I will trouble you no more." "And suppose that I should refuse to do any such thing?" "Then I should be forced to take them from you. As I address you, I recognize who you are. If I am not greatly mistaken, you are Al. Abbas, the Arab—a villain who lives by robbing women and old men." "Now, by the blood of Cush!" exclaimed Al Abbas, drawing his sword and urging his horse forward, "I'll make you feel another thing the Arab robber can^-do4—Whaty ho, my ^ne&j- Down with these rascals!" In a moment the Arabs were ready for action, and hurried forward to strike-with their leader. As Soon as Shubal found his guard gone, he called to Albia to come and set him free. "Cut these cords," he cried, "and I may be of some help in this affair. Merciful heaven, is not this the work of a good spirit!" The bondmaiden was not long in setting him free from his saddle, and as soon as he was clear he sprang forward to where the ring of clashing steel had already broke upon the air. With something like a smile of disdain upon his handsome features did Julian behold the approach of the Arabs, while Hobaddan, who sat close by his side, looked grim and stern. Osmir and Selim drew to the front as the token of battle was given, and their cool, determined bearing, plainly showed that they were foemen not to be despised. Al Abbas rode directly for the youthful chieftain, with his sword ready for the stroke; but he had mistaken his man, if he thought to touch any vulnerable point. Julian knocked his weapon up, and quickly drove him from his horse; and then, seeking to make quick work of it, and feeling no great sympathy for womanstealers, he simply rode the Arab leader down, cleaving open his head as he fell. Shubal was close at hand when Al Abbas dropped, and quickly as possible he possessed himself of the fallen man's sword, and was just in season to join In the conflict as three of the Arabs had attacked Julian. The young chieftain struck down one of them by a winding blow across the bare neck, but he might have had severe work with the other two had not help arrived; for the rascals were strong, and the death of their leader had given them new infpulse to conquer. It was not the impulse of revenge. No, no. The death of At Abbas left more gold for those who survived. But tlie unexpected arrival of the freed slave upon the scene gave a new turn to the tide. One of the Arabs he struck down from behind, and the other one alone proved no match for the stalwart chieftain. In the meantime Hobaddan, with Osmir and Selim, had disposed of the others. Two they had slain, and two had taken to flight. (To be continued.)

To My Many Friends—I am pleased to make a report to you of the pleasant visit my wife and I had in Western Canada. We visited tho territorties of Alberta, Assinlboia, and Saskatchewan, and found them far surpassing our Imagination, but little did 1 expect to And such rich, loamy soil, so much of it, and so uniform in its level prairie lay. I ao think the soil of Canada as a rulo equals if not excels the finest prairie farm lands of Indiana. These lands are Immense in their richness, nnd when once the sod ts rotted and pulverized, it is as pliable and na easily cultivated as Indiana sandy soil. "I have played a desperate game and I have lost," remarked4he stage villain just before his final disappearance. "But you are a darn sight better off than we are," murmured a tired looking man In the front row; "wis jjajd money to get In." ^ Western Canada, from" my poiBf~cT view, offers as tine opportunities for mixed farming as any place in my knowledge. The long, sunshiny days, together with the rich soil, produce very fine wheat, oats, barley, flax and other cereal products. There is scarcely any attempt to raise corn, except early varieties for table use. The season is too short to depend upon maturing field corn. From the standpoint of getting this land ready for the plow, I must say that I never saw such a vast extent, practically all ready so all that one has to do la to hitch up the plow and go to work. This is not the case with all the Canadian land, however; some of it has quite a bit or timber, much of it may be called brush land, and some of It has lovely forest groves, dotted here JAPAN'S TRIBUTE TO PERRY. Memorial to the M»n Who Opened Up the Japan ClvUUatlon. " T h e amity existing oetween Japan and the United States was recently emphasized at Kurlhama, whero a monument, erected to Commodore Perry, the American naval officer who first opened Japan to the civilization of the western world, was unveiled. The memorial marks the place where Commodore Perry landed, in 1853, preparatory to signing the treaty which has resulted in the phenomenal progress made by Japan since that time. /The monument is a simple though enduring one. The shaft is a solid block of stone weighing 19 tons and the whole monument, the face of which is suitably inscribed, is 33 feet high. At the dedicatory exercises the officialdom of Japan was generously represented. The United States vessels the New York, New Orleans and Yorktown, were represented. One of those taking part in the ceremonies was Rear Admiral Beardslee who served under Commodore Perry at the time of the landing. and there, thereby covering a hundred, and aiaity aerea* I have no doubt but that this country excels as a gracing or ranchinf country, because they have such rich grass, having an abundance of rain t o keep it fresh. They also have plenty of water streams, and,as a rulo watar may hfr reached at a depth of from » to 10 feet. From this you can sao there can be plenty of hay mown for winter feeding, and I have had reliable farmers to tell me that their stock will feed on hay alone, and bo ready for market in the spring. Upoa Inquiring about the expense of raising a steer, a farmer "replied that he did not consider it would cost any more/ than $4 or $6 to develop a three-yearold steer. I truly think Canada offers a fine opening for a young man or a man who Is renting land in Indiana. One hundred and sixty acres of good black land will cost you on.y 910 at the time you enter it, and by plowing and cultivating five acres each year for threo years, gives you one hundred and sixty acres of good land for 110. This land can be bought from the railroad companies, private corporations or the government for | 3 to S4 per acre. From a financial standpoint, I believe that for a series of years (five) a young man can make $10 in Canada, whereas he would only make $1 hero, and I feel sure that I spent more money to get my eighty acre farm in White county, Indiana, cultivated than it would cost me to cultivate eight hundred acres in Canada. This may seem a strong view to take of tho matter, but when you take into consideration the clearing, ditching, fencing and the expensive breaking In of the stumps, and then compare the expense to that of land needing only the breaking, you will conclude that it is not such a wild or exaggerated statement as you might at first think. I enjoyed the balmy, breezy atmosphere, which was bracing and refresh- " ing, and the cool nights which made it ao pleasant for sleep. A NARROW ESCAPE. Bath, N. Yu Sept. 10th.—There is now at the Soldiers' and Sailors* Home here an old soidie- who hasteon nearer death than anyone who has livod to tell the story. ^ i s name is A: K. Ayers, For many years he lived in Minneapolis, Minn, where he is well known. Four physicians of that city once told Mr. Ayers that he could not live four days. l i e had Bright*' disease. As a last resort h~ tried Dodd**'Kidney Pills. He is strong and well today. He says: "I was in the very presence of death, but Dodd's Kidney PllUaaved me. They are the greatest medicine in tha world." Tho new Mink is purely a money making ache* e* . On making inquiries regarding the winters in this country, I learned that the people never suffer from the cold, as the weather is dry and invigorating, and in a great many places farmers and herders allow their stock to rem outside the year round. One great advantage to the settlers in Western Canada is the free creameries established by the government and run exclusively in the interest of the farmer. I visited Thomas Daley, a farmer near Edmonton, Alberta, who showed r_e oats he had raised, some of which took the first prize at the Paris Exposition last year. The same yielded 110 bushels to the acre in 1899. Yours truly, FRANK FTSHER, Mexico, Ind. A good many people quote the golden rule as if they were the author. DonX't ache, use Hamlin's \VizarjLQU.

Educate* * t Home. Young Roosevelt was primarily educated at home under private teachers, after which he entered Harvard, graduating in 1880. Those qualities of aggressiveness which have marked his more recent years of public life were present with him In college, and he was a conspicuous figure among his fellows. It was an interesting period in the history of the party and the nation, and young Roosevelt entered upon the political field with eagerness and energy. The purification of political and -official 4ife had been for some time an. MRS. THEODORE ROOSEVELT. ideal with him, and with this came the belief in the efficacy of the application of civil-service rules to executive conduct. So strongly did he impress himself upon,.his political associates that in 188¾ he was nominated for the state assembly and elected. In the State Assembly. He served for'inree years and soon came to be recognised as an able and fearless advocate of the people's rights and he succeeded in securing the passafe of several measures of great benefit The abolition, of fees in the office of the county clerk and the abolition of the Joint power of the board rof aldermen in the mayor's appointments were among those of special benefit to the eity of New York. Another Hanortaat work d a w by aim publican convention. He had been among those who did not regard Mr. Blaine as the most available candidate of the party, but after the latter's nomination Mr. Roosevelt gave him his hearty support, and in the face of the remarkable defection in New York at that time. In the National Civil Service. In May, 1899, President Harrison appointed him civil service commissioner, and he served as president of the board until May, 1896. During his incumbency he was untiring In his efforts to apply the civil service principles of merit and capacity to all executive departments. As a result of this zeal the country was shown the first practical application of the rules to civil government. Civil Service Reformer. He proved that unflinching civilservice reform was not only consistent with party loyalty, but in the highest degree was necessary to party service. None doubted the reformer's Republicanism, but it was not an easy task. Judgment, tact, honesty, energy, and a certain sturdy pugnacity were necessary to the accomplishment of his purpose. Every detail of the system was opened to carping criticism and to hostile attack. The administration itself was only friendly to the movement. Not only had politicians to be kept out of places, but competent servitors had to be provided. In .the Police Commission. As president of the clvll-servlce commission Mr. Roosevelt resigned in May, 1803, to become president of the New York board of police commissioners. Legislative investigation had shown the corruption in that body, and to this field he turned with a new zest. An uncompromising enforcement of law was his policy. It brought criticism and vituperation upon him, but he persisted. Honest methods in the .police department were forced, and civil-service principles were embodied into the system of appointments and promotions. Sunday closing of saloons became a fact, and a seemly observance of the day was insisted upon. Navy's Asslstaat Secretary. In April, 1897, Mr. Rooeevelt was nominated by President McXinley to be assistant secretary of the navy. He pushed repairs on the ships and worked with might and stain, foraetlng a tUctwith 8pain> He toft nothing undone to secure the highest efficiency in the navy.. On May 6, 1888, Mr. Rooeevelt resigned this place to muster in a cavalry regiment for the Spanish war. Life in tha west had made this a fitting ambition. As a hunter of big game, used to the saddle and the camp and an unerring shot with rifle and revolver, the country recognised in film the making of a dashing cavalry leader. He had experienced. military duty in the New York National Guard in the '80s. Col. Wood was put in command of the Rough Riders; Mr, Roosevelt was lieutenant colonel On June 15 the regiment sailed to join Gen. Shafter in Cuba* With the Bougn Riders. From the time of landing until the fall of Santiago the Rough Riders were giant figures in ths campaign. Their work reached a climax on July 1, when Lieut.-Col. Roosevelt led the regimen^ in the desperate charge up San Juan hill. He had shared all the hardships of his men, and when he broke the red tape of discipline to complain of Oen. Shatter's camp and its dangers from disease the army was with him and the war department listened to his judgment. On July 11 be was commissioned a colonel of volunteers. Elected Governor of N e w York. Scarcely two months later the new military hero was nominated for governor of New York. In, the convention he received 753 votes, against the 218 cast for Gov. Frank S. Black. Col. Roosevelt entered into the campaign with characteristic energy. Men of all parties supported him and he was elected by a plurality of more than 18,000. His administration was very satisfactory to his state. As reformer, official, military leader and state executive, he has carried his earnest dashing personality into it all. As a Writer. As a writer of outing papers his varied experiences on the trail have served him well. In biography, his life of Thomas H. Benton and of Gouvernour Morris have been praised. Essays and papers dealing with political life have added to this reputation. Of his latest work. "The Rough Riders" has been pointed to as ''one of the most thrilling pieces of military history produced in recent years." —When his name was first proposed for the vice presidency, Mr. Roosevelt declined the honor, preferring to re^ main governor. He finally consented, after much pressure. Mr. Roosevelt's Family. Mr. Roosevelt has been married twice. His first wife was Miss Alice Lee of Boston; the second, Miss Edith Carow of New York-. He is the fathei of six children, ranging from 16 to 3 years of age. His domestic life Is Ideal. Whethei ensconced in winter quarters at Albany or New York, or at the famouu Roosevelt home at Oyster Bay on Long Island, he Is an indulgent father and romps with his children with as much zest SB the youngest of them. The youngsters are known as the Roosevelt half-dozen, and all reflect in some manner the paternal characteristic. All Bright Children. The oldest girl is Alice, tall, dark and serious looking.

As a rule, influential men in eveiy community prefer social quiet to tumult, and would rather let the saloon like a mad wolf go free than to undertake to corral it or destroy it. Moreover, the law is such that extraordinary methods are absolutely necessary in order to detect the saloon in its crimes and bring the responsible parties to justice. These methods are always expensive, and these also involve local citizens unpleasantly with strange detectives who must be employed to discover the crimes and the evidence which will convict the criminals. It is a shame that an institution permcious as the saloon has been allowed to entrench itself iu the general mechanism of our laws, customs, financial interests and social forces. The saloon at best is intolerable to many citizens, and the day will never come when all commuities will be acquiescent in the presence of its nefarious work. Now here, now there, as at Owosso last week, a gallant mayor, a brave preacher and loyal citizen will grapple with the of. fender, and the result will be agitation, excitement, arrests, mobs, trials, acquitals or convictions, heart burnings, life-long animosities, and peahaps maimings and assassinations. Just as long as the state sanctions the traffic, and for a price' practically protects it, so long will temperance people find themselves at a tremendous disadvantage in trying to protect themselves, their children ancl homes from the ruthless ravages of the defient rum fiend. far as birds are concerned, the old law holds and partridge, quail, spruce hen, woodcock are protected until October 20, the open season being, in the lower peuinsula, from October 20 to November 30 both inclusive.

The final estimate for wheat will be made in October. The average estimated yield per acre in the southern counties is 10 bushels, in the central counties 14 bushels, in the northern coun.tiea 13 bushels, and in the state 11 bushels. So much wheat was plowed up and so many other fields cut for bay that it is difficult to fix the amount actually harvested. The season this year has not been foyorable for oats. The cold backward spring seems to have retarded their growth for the season. The average yield is about three-quarters of what it was last year and the quality is uot as good. In most parts of the State com has made a good growth during the month. In a few counties, on light soU, it has not eared well. This is only true in thoBe portions ol the state where there has been practically, no rainfall. If frosts do not prevail prior to the middle of September the corn crop will be safe and fairly up to the average. The bean crop is very uneven this year. In a few localities~no growth was made so that the crop is practically a failure. In other sections there has been an excessive growth of vines.

As a result the yield will be variable some very good and some very poor. Potatoes, like corn and beans, vary much throughout the state. Where it naer not been too dry they have done fairly well. One exception to this is where the bugs have done much damage. Had farmers, in some cases, prevented these ravages potatoes would be good where corn is good. The crop of clover seed ha» baen injured some by insects. Iu other cases it has made a rank growth but did not fill well. Some farmers are cutting this second crop for hay. A Card.

One schooner, the Amaranth, of Detroit, is a total wreck; the Quito and the Wawatam worked themselves free on their own steam; the wbaiebnek 202 is high and dry on the beach, but it is thought can be saved; the Tauly. of Detroit, the schooner Page and the tug Sarnia may be released without injury. The gale and the great cloud of smoke that came clown over the lower *»id of Lake Huron, caused the disaster by obscuring all lights, so that nine vessels in all weut ashore. The life saving crew took off KG people from the stranded vessels and not n life was lost. The property loss will be very heavy. Micht*«n Valacd nt*91.T0O,OOO,OOO. Lansing, Sept. 13.—The state tax commissioners have made up the?r figures for all the counties of the state. There still remain 10 counties for which the figures are uncompleted. These are Dickinson, Oogeblc, Houghton, Ingham, Iron, KeAveenaw, Marquette, Ontonngon, Roscommon and Wayne. So far n? completed the tax commission's figures show a total actual value of $1.107.591,920, and it is estimated that the completed figures will show the total actual value of the state -to ho a trifle less than $1,700,000,000. The equalized value of the state as fixed in 189t? Is $1.105.100.000/ The estimates for the uncompleted counties which are not those of the commission, arc ns follows: Dickinson, $12,000,000: rtogpbie, $12,000,000: Houghton, $175,- 000.000: Ingham. $33.000.00(): Iron. $0.- As soon as the weather will permit and proper locations can be selected, there will be pitched near Boston the first of a number of camps for consumptives. This camp (and each succeeding camp will be like it) will consist of ten piano-box tents, arranged in a circle, with an open-air fire in the center, and surrounded by a duck wall eight feet high. Each of these tents will be a consumptive's home; a consumptive will sleep there, even through the coldest weather, with no other protection than plenty of felt blankets, felt sleeping boots, and a two-inch gallon jug of hot water. 000.000: Keweenaw, $4,ooo,000; Marqifette. $30,000,000; Ontonagon, $5,000,- ono: Roscommon. $50().000; Wavne, $.100,000,000. This added to the total as fnr as completed by the tax commission would make a total valuation of $1,085,501,929. As a result of a tangle in the steering gear of his automobile, Arthur Masker of Philadelphia met with a peculiar accident. He started to take a spin down to Baltimore recently, but turned aside from the high road when a few miles out from the city. He was coursing at a speed of eleven miles w^on suddenly, without apparent { cause, the machine spurted and veered j to one side. It was going at the rate \ of seventy-five miles an hour when it I jumped a fence and struck a tree. Fortunately, instead of being an upright tree, it was leaning, and instead of being crushed by the impact the machine slid up the tree and lodged in the branches, forty-five feet from the ground. . Mr. Fasker was unhurt. He climbed out of the seat and slid down the tree and walked to a farm house, where he hired a farmer to bring him to town. Accident or Murder? Tue body of William D. Hollister, the American express agent at Oxford, was found on the Michigan Central railroad tracks at 11 o'clock Wednesday night. The body had been cut in two by a passing train. There was a huge gash in one side of the unfortunate man's head, audthis had led to talk of foul play. Hollister was last seen alive about 8:.°>5 o'clock. He had been very ill all day, and the symptoms became aggravated in the evening. He had a money package to deliver to the express messenger on the 8:30 train for Detroit. Although he was suffering greatly he made the trip to the station and delivered the package, which contained $750. Whether he received any money or valuable packages from thjj messenger is not known. None were found on his person or near where he was found. Neither was. his receipt hook in evidence. The authorities are of the opinion that his death was an accident. According to the Medical Record, a j ,gang of swindlers has been playing a despicable trick on numerous pharmacists in Brooklyn. A man goes to a drug store with a simple prescription, has it made up, and takes the mixture away with him. In an hour or two, or the following day, the purchaser returns with the medicine, which he says he gave to his wife or child, as the case may be, and that the patient was nearly killed by poison which was there through the blunder of the compounder. He says his physician has analyzed the mixture and demonstrated the presence of poison, and he allows the druggist to test it then and there. The poison is, of course, found, as the swindler has added it himself, and he thereupon announces his determination to sue the druggist for damages to atone for the results of his alleged blunder. If the pharmacist becomes frightened at the idea of a suit for damages, and thinks St may be possible that a mistake has beam mad*, he may accept the suggestion of the blackmailer to settle the C M * out of court The amount of sot- ~ t M * s t fc Witt 71» vary from 150 to More Pnrdonn Granted.

He had produced beforehand a round dozen of excellent invention^ whlen still bear his name, including the modern revolving chimney cowl; and, having made a large fortune, he developed himself t o harnessing the ordinary heat of a fire and making a new power of it. The idea was laughed at by all his friends, but, after four years of study and experimenting, he produced a stationary engine that gave double the power of any steam-driven mechanism at about a third the cost, and also a small model heat locomotive, large enough to draw a truck .i^ith a man in it. He invited a committee of scientists and engineers, inciudlng Profs. Huxley and Forbes Brown, and showed them that his two machines worked t o perfection. The-a8*ir made a great stir, and it proved that a great power of unlimited scope had been discovered. Waymouth was flooded with offers of huge sums for his invention, but, for no apparent reason, except, perhaps, the alleged madness of genius, he absolutely refused to. either bring it out himself or sell the secret He announced himself satisfied with the triumph of the invention and before his death, a year later, he destroyed all the papers and plans explaining the system, and removed the essential parts of the two engines. These engines are still possessed by his heirs, but nobody has been able to make anything of them. Still stranger was the famous loss of the recipe for the manufacture of diamonds, some fifteen years ago. Herbert. Warner, who alone discovered and held the secret of diamond making, did not live to wreck the diamond industry, as people thought he would, and the circumstances of the loss were mysterious and tragic. Inferior dlamond3 can still be produced artificially, but only at a cost of about ten times their value. Warner, after years of experimenting, was able to turn out a genuine diamond of large size and of the first water, at the cost of a small fraction of the complete stone's worth. He, like Waymouth, of heat power fame, manufactured his diamonds before an audience of scientists, and produced three fine stones, which were tested and pronounced faultless. Two of them are still in existence and are the greatest curiosities the jewel world has ever seen. But within a fortnight of this triumph, before any of the new stones vere put on the market, Warner utterly disappeared from his house in Harley street, London, leaving no trace whatever. So complete was his disappearance that from that day to this not the smallest explanation has been hit upon. Then there is the lost secret of the wonderful new meta. called "talium," which would certainly have been worth many millions sterling to the nation and the inventor. G-rantley Adams discovered it just eight years ago, and during its short life it was one of the greatest wonders of the "science and commerce" world. It was sheer vanity that kept Grant Finlay from giving to the world the benefit of his invention for the total abolition of smoke. He evolved a simple system by which any fire or light could be made to consume its own carbon, and though he demonstrated the usefulness of the invention many times, he obstinately refused to put it on the market or sell the secret of i t His own house, just outside Glasgow, was fitted with the system, which did not cost him thirty shillings for the entire building, and no Jot of smoke was ever emitted there.

AND DIED SATURDAY MORNING. SEPT. 14. PRESIDENT'S LAST FAREWELL. President McKinley died at 2:15 Saturday morning. His last conscious hour on earth was "spent with the wife to whom he devoted a lifetime of care. He died unattended by a minister of the gospel but his last words were a humble submission to God in whom he believed. He was reconciled to the fate to which a cruel assassin's bullet had condemned him and faced death in the same spirit of calmness which has marked his long and honorable career. His last conscious words, reduced to writing by Dr. Mann, who stood by his bedside when they were uttered, were as follows: "Goodbye. Ail good-bye. It is God's way. His will be done." His relatives and members of his official family were at the Milburn house, except Secretary Wilson. His friends came to the door took a parting look at him and turned tearfully away. He was practically unconscious during this time, but powerful stimuiauts, including oxygen, were employed to restore him to consciousness for the final par ting, with his wife. He asked for her and she sat at his side and held his hand. He consoled her and bade her good-bye. She went through the heart-trying scene with the same bravery and fortitude with which she has borne the grief of the tragedy that ended his life. President McKinley began to sink shortly after 2 o'clock Friday morning, after a critical period of 12 hours, in which alarm and hope mingled in the emotions of" those who surrounded him. Trouble began on the preceding afternoon through the failure of digestive organs to perform their functions. The necessity for nourishment had been pressing for several days and the partial failure of artificial means had* led to the adoption of natural means. The rectum, through which nourishment had been injected previously to Wednesday, became Irritated and rejected the enemas. This forced the physicians to try 4o feed him through the mouth, probably before the stomach was prepared.. The first administration of beef Juice through the mouth, however, seemed to agree with the patient, and tbe physicians were highly gratified at thejcay the stomach seemed to receive the food* The breakfast of chicken broth, toast and coffee, given Thursday morning, was *poken of by all the physicians as 'strong evidence of the president's marked Improvement. It was only when 1% became apparent late in the 'morning that this food had not agreed with the president that the first genuine anxiety appeared. \ % D o c t o r * W e r e A l a r w e d . Fresideiit McKinley, already weak from the ordeal of the tragedy, and suffering, complained of an increasing feeling of fatigue. He had heretofore been so buoyant and cheerful that his complaints were regarded seriously. The pulse was then also abnormally high, 120 beats to the minute. With n~ temperature of 100.2 it should have been 30 beats lower. The weakness of the heart began to arouse serious concern. Instead of growing better the president's conditio* after that grew steadily worse. At 8:30 Thursday night tike physicians announced o*cl*Uy that the president's condition was net so good. The problem of disposing of the foot: In the stomach woe Deceasing a serl ous one and the dagger.of aeart failure increased. As lattnlaJsV approached the situation was growls* critical. Calomel and oil were gtraf to flush the bowek} and digitalis ta^jutet his heart. However, just befete midnight thr president had two aaerntlona of tht, bowels, whltsk veltafajl him very much and the maMghtvolletin was more favorable. J £ staesjf that all tbe c©hdltlons nam faagJired since the last bulletin. • It w a i M t a M p ths* that tb* open- I™ last resort saline solution was injected into the veins. A general alarm went speeding to the consulting physicians and trained nurses as fast as messengers, the telegraph and telephone could carry it. The restoratives did not at once prove effective- and it was realised that the president was in an extremely critical coadltlon. The realization, with the shadow of death behind it, led to another call and that a summons to the cabinet, relatives^ and close personal friends of the president. A n Affecting* F a r e w e l l . Before G o'clock It was clear to those at the president's bedside that he was dying and preparations were made for the last sad offices of farewell from those who were nearest and dearest to him. Oxygen had been administered steadily, but with little effect in keeping, back the approach of death. The president came out of one period unconscious only to relapse into another. But in this period when his mind was partially clear, occurred a series of events of profcnindly touching character. Down stairs, with strained and tear-stained faces, members of the cabinet were grouped In anxious waiting. They knew the end was near, and that the time had come when they must see him for the last time on earth. This was about 0 o'clock. One by one they ascended the stairway—Secretary Root, Secretary Hitchcock and Atty.- Gen. Knox. Svcretnry Wilson also was there, but he held back, hot wish- 1 ug to <Kee. xhe presideuLJii his last^ agony. There was only a momentary stay of Hie -cabinet officers at the threshold **t the death chamber. Then they withdrew, the tears streaming down their faces and the words of intense grief choking their throats. After they left the sick room the physicians rallied him to consciousness and the president asked almost immediately "that his wife he brought to him. The doctors fell back into the shadows of the room as Mrs. McKinley came through the doorway. The strong face of the dying man lighted up with a faint smile as their hands were clasped. She sat beside him and held his hand and heard from him his last words of encouragement and comfort. Then she was led away, and not again during his living hours did she see him. Despite her physical weak ness she bore up bravely under the ordeal. The president himself fully realized that his hour had come and his mind turned to his Maker. He whispered feebly: "Nearer, my flod, to Thee." The words of the hymn were always dear to his heart. Then in faint accents he murmured: "Good-bye. all; good-bye. It is God'j* way. His will be done, not ours." With this sublime display of Christian fortitude the president soon after lapsed into unconsciousness. ills 11 Ce was prolonged for hours by the adoilnistra^en of «*#gen> and the* pretident flaalfr iexprewad a deelre to fee allowed to die* About 850 Friday night the administration of oxygen ceased and tbe pulse grew fainter and fainter. He was sinking gradually, tike a child Into the eternal wumber. 4 Midnight came, and still the tremendous vitality of the president was battling against dissolution. Another hour passed on, and still another. At 2 o'clock DnJUxey was the only physician in tfce death chamber. The others were • in' j§»- adjoining room, wbJj^ the relatives, cabinet efilcers and nearest friends were gathered in silent groups in the apartments below. As he watched and waited. Dr. Rixey observed a slight convulsive tremor. The president had entered the valley of tbe shadow of death. Word was at. once taken to the immediate relatives who were not present to hasten for the last took upon the president In life. They came lb groups, tbe women weeping and the; men bowed and sobsfteaes i*P»**i H»»'W»»w»'"t»*»""rr blng in their intense grief. Grouped about the bedside at this final moment were the only brother of the president, Abner McKinley and bis wife; Miss Helen McKinley and Mrs. Sarah Duncan, sisters of the president; Miss Mary Barber,- niece; Miss Sarah Duncan, niece; Lieut.. James F. Mc- Kinley. Wni. M. Duncan and John Barber, nephews; F. M. Osborne, a cousin; Secretary George B. Cortelyou, Hon. Charles C. Dawes, comptroller of the currency; Ool. Webb C. Hayes and Col. Wm. C. Brown. • , i The minutes were now flying and it was 2:15 o'clock. Silent and motionless, tbe circle of loving friends stood about the bedside. Dr. Rixey leaned forward and placed his ear close to the breast of the expiring president. Then he straightened up and made an effort to speak. "The president Is dead," he said. The president had passed away peacefully, without the convulsive struggle of death. It was as though he had fallen asleep. GANGRENE CAUSED D E A T H . MBS.

The angry spirit of the people at Buffalo had reached an intense pitch. Foreseeing the danger of pea* sible riot, the poiico headquarters, where Czolgoss Is confined, was roped off and the menacing thousands held at bay. If the president's death bad come before midnight it would hare- been difficult to avoMt a coaftict; but the srojEds,^gradjial^ broke up as tbe new Official A n n o u n c e m e n t of R e s n l t of A u t o p s y . The official announcement of the physicians as a result of their autopsy on the president's body that death resulted from gangrene of the wounds, led to much discussion of the causes leading up to this gangrenous condition. The_^Ttttut^rli^h--«tr4uai_^^^r^h^ breast bone did not pass through the skin and did little harm. TheWher bullet passed through both walls o^Jhe stomach near its lower border. Both holes were found to be perfectly closed by the stitches, but the tissue around each hole had become gangrenous. After passing through the stomach the bullet passed into the back walls of the abdomen, hitting and tearing the upper end of the kidney. This portion of the bullet track was also gangrenous, the gangrene involving the pancreas. The bullet has not yet been found. There was no sign of peritonitis or disease of other organs. The heart walls were very thin. There was no evidence of any attempt at repair on the part of nature and death resulted from the gangrene which affected the stomach around the bullet wounds as well as the tissuM, around tlie further course of the bulttt. Death was unavoidable by any surgical or medical treatment, and was the direct result oi the bullet wound. All the tissues through which the bullet passed were dead. This is very remarkable Indeed. The area of the dead flesh in the stomach was perhaps •is great ns a silver dollar in circumference. Dr. Wasdin, the marine hospital expert,, was strongly inclined to rhe opinion that the bullet had been poisoned. day came on, ana ny 2:io a. m., wneu the death announcement came, the down-town thoroughfares were deserted. For the moment the anger of the outraged people is forgotten in their poignant grief, and this will doubtless consign Czolgosz to the swift and inevitable punishment provided by law. T b e U n s p e a k a b l e T n r k . Fifty Armenian retiattrt|pnists, according to Turkish repHK recently set fire to the Mussulman quarters at M,ush, Turkish Armenia, where fighting afterward occurred, the Armenians retiring toward Sassoun. Massacres by Koords have already taken place in the Daiuizra district of Armena; 12 villages were destroyed and only the young girls were spared. History does not record a persecution more cruel that that which the Koords have mad* upon the Armenians. In two years, between the fall of 1SI>4 and the spring of 1S0«, it has been estimated that 80,- 000 were killed. The sultan makes no pretense of giving the Armenians as agreed when a commission of the powers was sent to investigate the massa ere of 1894. To make up fov the 80,- U00 Armenians whe had boen killed, he pardoned some 24 people of that country serving sentences, and com-i muted the sentences off 54, who were to have been executed, to life imprisonment. Also he agreed to appropriate a certain proportion of the state's taxes to them for the construction of churches and schools. This last part -of. the agreement was partly carried out in 1897, but it is claimed that the sultan has made no attempt to protect the Armenians by sending into their country the armed force necessary to prevent the Koords from attacking them.

A lobster Is found in the water, but not always—in fact, some of the most successful lobsters that ever lobstered were born and raised on dry land.' One can usually tall a lobster by its actions. For Instonce^tf a young man enters a crowded drawing room and wafts oil over the feet of the assembled guests without their consent or approval the young man at once becomes a lobster. The fathers of lobsters usually have money. In fact, It is difficult to be "a real stand up and fall down lobster unless the lobster's father has money..

It should have been blown and HgMly whisked off ftrst, hut t£ls my maid did not do, and in>eoaeee,uence the grime was wiped In for all I know with a damp eloth.
