If you aren't getting all the cream there is in your milk, iyou're losing just that much money. I By the old system of milk-setting you lose-from ten to twenty per cent, of the cream, besides doing a lot of uunecssary work. Cold water is added to the warm milk and the sudden change in temperturc 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 hutter is better, sweeter, and you get from ten to twenty iper 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 in 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&r itself tenfold. ' Here are our prices: No. 1. Capacity, 10 gals.. $3.50. No. 2. Capacity, 15 gals., 4.50. No. 8. Capacity, 23 gals., 5.00.

Y.] Wswhington, Sept. 22.—In this dlseonrae Dr. Talmage commends the sfttrtt of amity and good feeling and snemtlens illustrious examples of that •spirit; teat, Act* xxvlli, 2, "The barpeople showed us#ho little 'n C*v ;** Here we are on the island of Malta, ^another name for MelTta. This island, w h i c h has always been an important commercial center, belonging at different times to Phoenicia, to Greece, -to Rome, to Arabia, to Spain, to France, s e w belongs to England. The of the island is about 100 square It is la the Mediterranean sea of such clarity of atmosphere that Mount Aetna, 130 miles away, can be -distinctly seen. The island is glorio u s l y memorable because the Knights « ( Malta for a long while ruled there, tat moee famous because of the apostolic shipwreck. The bestormed vess e l o n which Paul sailed had "laid to** on the starboard tack, and the wind was blowing east-northeast, and, t h e vessel drifting probably a mile and a half an hour, she struck at what is n o w called St. Paul's bay. Practical sailors have taken up the Bible account and decided beyond controversy t h e place of the shipwreck. But the island, which has so rough a coast, Is for the most part a garden. Richest fruits and a profusion of honey characterized it in Paul's time as well as s o w . The finest oranges, figs and olives grow there. When Paul and his comrades crawled o p on the beach, saturated and hungry from long abstinence from food and chilled to the bone, the islanders, though called barbarians bethey could not • speak Greek, their doors to the shipwrecked anXortnnates. Everything had gone t o the bottom of the fteep, and the barefooted, bareheaded apostle and ship's crew were in a condition to appreciate hospitality. About twentyflve such men a few years ago I found In the life station near East Hampton, l o n g Island. They had got ashore in t h e night from the sea, and not a hat o r shoe had they left. They found ont, as Paul and his fellow voyagers found out, that the sea is the roughest *& all robbers. My text finds the ship's crew ashore on Malta and around a hot Are drying themselves and with the best provision the islanders can offer them. And they go into government quarters for three days to recuperate, Publlus, the ruler, inviting them, although he had severe sickness i n the house at that time, his father down with a dangerous Illness. Yea, for three months they staid on the Island watching for a ship and putting the hospitalities of the islanders to a severe t e s t But it endured the test satisfactorily,and it is recorded for all the ages of time and eternity to read and hear in regard to the inhabitants *of Malta, **The barbarous people tahewed ns no little kindness." A Magnificent Word. Kindness! What a great word that i s ! It would take a reed as long a s that which the apocalpytic angel TOied to measure heaven to tell the length, the breadth, the height of that munificent word. It is a favorite Bible word, and it is early launched in tha book of Genesis, caught up in the hook of Joshua, embraced in the book •of Ruth, sworn by in the book of Samuel, crowned in the book of Psalms and enthroned in many places i n the New Testament. Kindness! A word no more gentle than mighty. I -expect it will wrestle me down before I g e t through with it. It i3 strong enough to throw an archangel. But it wHt he well for us to stand around i t and warm ourselves by its glow as Pant and his fellow voyagers stood around the fire on the island of Malta, where the Maltese made themselves immortal in my text by the way they treated their victims of the sea. "The barharoas people showed us no little Madness." The Grace of Forgiveness. B u t are you waiting and hoping for ^sorae one to be bankrupted or exposed o r discomfited or in some way overthrown then kindness has not taken nosseaslon of your nature. You are 'wrecked o n a Malta where there are oranges. You are entertaining a so unlike kindness that kindaril! not come and dwell under t h e same roof. The most exhausting unhealthy and ruinous spirit on is a revengeful spirit or retaliatrtag spirit, as I know by experience, l o r f have tried it for five or ten mlnat a time. When some mean has been done me or said about he*, t hare felt: "I will pay him in I d s ' o w n coin. I will show him up. Ingratet The traitor! The liar! i-villainV But five or ten minutes of the feeling has bean so unnerving and exhausting I have abandoned it, and I cannot understand how people can go about torturing themselves five or ten or twenty years, trying to get even with somebody. The only way you will ever triumph over your enemies is by forgiving them and wishing them all good and no evil. As malevolence is the most uneasy and profitless and dangerous feeling, kindness is the most healthful and delightful. And this is not an abstraction. As I have tried a little of the retaliatory feeling, so I have tried a little of the forgiving. I do not want to leave this world until I have taken vengeance upon every man that ever did me a wrong by doing him a kindness. In most of such cases' I have already succeeded, but there are a few malignants whom I a m y< suing, and I shall not be content until I have in some wise helped them or benefited them or blessed them., Rare Flower from Royal Garden. The king of Prussia had presented to him by the empress of Russia the root of a rare flower, and it was put in the royal gardens on an island, and the head gardener, Herr Fintleman, was told to watch it. And one day it pu{ forth its glory. Three days of every week the people were admitted to these gardens, and a young man, probably not realizing what a wrong thing he was doing, plucked this flower and put it in his buttonhole, and the gardener arrested him as \e was crossing at the ferry and asked the king to throw open no more his gardens to the public. The king replied: "Shall I deny to the thousands of good people of my country the privilege of seeing this garden because one visitor has done wrong? No; let them come and see the beautiful grounds." And when the gardener wished to give the king the name of the offender who had taken the royal flower he said, "No, my memory is very tenacious, and I do not want to have in my mind the name of the offender lest it should hinder me granting him a favor some other time." Now, I want you to know that kindness is a royal flower, and blessed be God, the king 6f mercy and grace, that by a divine gift, and not by purloining, we may pluck this royal flower and not wear it on the outside of our nature, but wear it on our soul and wear it forever, its radiance and aroma not more wonderful for time than wonderful for eternity. Hopeful and Cordial Wards. Oh, say the cordial thing! Say the useful thing. Say the hospitable thing. Say the helpful thing. Say the Christlike thing. Say the kind thing. I admit that it is easier for some temperaments than for others. Some are born pessimists, and some are born optimists, and that demonstrates itself all through everything. It is a cloudy morning. You meet a pessimist and you say, "What weather today?" He answers, "It's going to storm," and umbrella under arm and waterproof coat show that he is honest in that utterance. On the same block, a minute after, you Ineet an optimist, and you say, "What do you think of the commercial prospects?" and he says, "Glorious. Crops not so good as usual, but foreign demand will make big prices. We are going to have such an autumn and winter of prosperity as we have never seen." On your way back to your store you "meet~a~ pessimist merchant. "What do you think of the commercial prospects?" you ask, and he answers, "Well, I don't know. Wheat and corn crop blasted in Kansas and Missouri, and the grain gamblers will get their fist in, and the hay crop i3 short in some places, and in the southern part of Wisconsin they had a hailstorm and our business is as dull as it ever was." You will find the same difference in judgment of character. A man of good reputation is assailed and charged with some evil deed. At the first story the pessimist will believe in guilt. "The papers said so, and that's enough. Down with him!" The optimist will say: "I don't believe a word of it. I don't think that a man that has been as useful and seemingly honest for twenty years, could have got off track like that. There are two sides to this story, and* I will wait to hear the other side before I condemn him." My hearer, if you are by nature a pessimist, make a special effort by the grace of God to extirpate the dolorous and the hypercritical from your disposition. Believe nothing against anybody until the wrong is established by at least two witnesses of integrity. And, if guilt is proved, find out the extenuating; circumstances, if there are any. Kindness! Let us, morning, noon and night, pray for it until, w e get it. Kindness of Aotton. Furthermore, there is kindness of action. That Is what Joseph showed to his outrageous brothers. That is what David showed to Mephibosheth for his father Jonathan's sake. That is what "Qneslphoni8 showed to Paul in the Roman penitentiary. That is what William Cowptr recognized when he said he would not trust a m a n , w h o would with his foot needlessly crush a worm. That is what our assassinated President Lincoln demonstrated when his private' secretary found' him In the capitol grounds trying to get a bird back to the nest from which 1* had fallen, and which quality the illustrious man exhibited years before when, having with some lawyers in the carriage on the way to court passed on the road a swine fast In the mire, after awhile cried to his horses, "Ho" and said to the gentlemen, "I must go back and help that hog out of the mire." And he did go back and put on solid ground that most unintereit* ing Quadruped. That was the spirit that was manifested by my departed friend, Hon. Alexander H. Stephens of Georgia—and lovelier man never exchanged earth for heaven—when at Washington. A senator's wife, who told us of the circumstances, said t o him, "Mr. Stephens, come and see my dead canary bird." And he answered, or I could not look at the poor thing without crying." That is the spirit which last night ten thousand mothers showed to their sick children coming to give the drink at the tenth call as cheerfully and as tenderly as at the first call. Suppose all this assemblage and all to whom these words shall come by printer's type should resolve to make kindness an overarching, underglrding and all-pervading principle of their life and then carry out the resolution. Why In six months the whole earth would feel it. People would say, "What is the matter? It seems to me that the world is getting to be a better place to live in. Why, life after all is worth' living. Why, there is Shylock, my neighbor, has withdrawn his lawsuit of foreclosure against that man, and because he has had so much sickness in his family he is going to have the house for one year rent free. There is an old lawyer in that young lawyer's office, and do you know what he has gone in there for? Why, he is helping to fix up a case which is too big for the young man to handle, and the white-haired attorney is hunting up previous decisions and making out a brief for the boy. Do you know that a strange thing has taken place in the pulpit, and all the old ministers are helping the young ministers, and all the old doctors are helping the young doctors, and the farmers are assisting each other in gathering the harvest, and for that farmer who is sick the neighbors have made a 'bee,' as they call it, and they have all turned in to help him-get his crops into the garner? And they tell me that the older and more skillful reporters who have permanent positions on papers are helping the young fellows who are just beginning to try and do not know exactly how to do it. And after a few erasures and interpolations on the reporter's pad thejrvsay, 'Now, here is a readable account of the tragedy; hand it in, and I am sure the managing editor will take it.' " . Sew Dispensation of Conlullty. My hearers, you know ana I know we are far from that state of things. But why not inaugurate a new dispensation of geniality. If we cannot have a millennium on a large scale, let us have it on a small scale and under our own vestments. Kindness! If this world is ever brought to God, that is the thing that will do it. You cannot fret the world up, although you may fret the world down. You cannot scold it into excellence or reformation or godliness. The cast wind and the west wind were one day talking with each other, and- ^he—east wind said to -the—west wind: "Don't you wish you had my power? Why, when I start they hail me by storm signals all along the coast. 1 can twist off a ship's mast as easily as a cow's hoof cracks an alder. With one sweep of my wing I have strewn the coast from Newfoundland to Key West with parted ship timber. I can lift and have, lifted the Atlantic ocean. I am the terror of all invalidism, and to fight me back forests must be cut down.for fires, and the mines of continents are called on to feed the furnaces.

On Oraveotteaa' Memorial! the Figure* Are Placed Ufofcie Down to Denote ' Death and Betura to BartU— Work of Primitive Artist*. The study of the sign language oi the red man is a fascinating one. Perhaps the simplest form of their picture writing is that on the grave-head memorials of their chiefs. These are boards or posts, set up and inscribed with certain symbols. The depleting of figures upside down denotes death and return to earth, and figures thus inscribed are often seen in Indian epitaphs. In other esses—the idea of death is indicated by a cross with two spaces filled in, making a figure somewhat of the hourglass shape. On a post set up about 100 years ago a unique inscription Is to be read. A reindeer at the top Is the totem mark, of the deceased and his family, and is depicted upside down for the reason explained, t o the left of this figure are seven transverse marks, meaning that the dead chief had led seven war parties. Three vertical marks below mean three wounds received in battle. A moose's head tells of a desperate struggle with an infuriated animal of that sort, and a hatchet and pipe indicate great influence in peace and war. Another post, simply inscribed with the figure of a bear with three horizontal lines below it, shows that the departed hunter was of the Bear clan or family, and that he had» attended three war parties. An interesting example~ of Indian picture writing was found 6ome time ago in the Comanche country In Texas. The inscription, which dates back to the time when Spain was still engaged in American conquest, is upon the shoulder blade of a buffalo. A mounted Indian is depicted killing with a spear a Spaniard armed with a gun, the tragedy being enacted in the presence of the disputed buffalo Itself, who, in a piebald or semi-skinned condition, is contemplating the contest from a lower part of the picture. An elegant scroll line by the side of-the evidently doomed Spaniard expresses the circuitous route by which the Indian followed his enemy. The length of body and shortness of legs of the horse would seem to denote that it belonged to a dachshund variety of equines, while, to the uninitiated observer the buffalo somewhat resembles a cockroach. Several examples of what appear to be the artistic efforts of a very juvenile scholar in the absence cf his teacher's observation have been Interpreted by an expert. One picture contains two figures remotely in the likeness of humanity. One holds, or is supposed to hold—for the members of that body capable of that operation are represented by two straight lines—something not accurately defined. The purpose of the remaining actor in the scene represented is rather clearer. He is depicted in the act of "letting off" an antique firelock aimed direct at the other. By the side of the individual with the firelock are a bundle and a tree. Tho whole is a trespass notice, and a very strong hint to the passerby of what he may expect from the property owner should he attempt to filch.any of the latter's goods!

Yet many such instrument*, while apparently most'' 'eotnpttcatsd, are really based on very simple principle*. Of these the thermometer and the barometer are, of course, now generally understood, although this w a s not always true. Another meteorological instrument, however, which i» much used, but which is more or lose mysterious to the public, is that b y which the amount of moisture in t h e air Is , determined. While delicately constructed and balanced by means of fine springs, the chief reliance is placed in a few horse hairs, which are exceedingly responsive to the influence of dampness. When the air becomes moist they relax, and a pivoted bar, one end of which forms an indicator, Is drawn along a scale, which shows just to what extent the air is saturated with water. When the air is dry the horse hairs become tense and the indicator is returned to its appropriate place on the scale. It is in this way that track is kept of General Humid* ity, whose damp forces so effectually conspire to keep humanity in misery during warm weather. An Incomplete Home. We run wild over the furnishings of a house; its furniture, carpets, hangings, pictures and music, and always forget or neglect the most important requisite.

They have cured, it is said, 311 cases in 462 in Denmark, and in Lond o n the applicants for treatment number 100 a day. The rays destroy certain bacilli, it is said, and stimulate, circulation as well a s increase the nutritive activity. It is even alleged that cancer has been successfully treated. The patient bathes in a flood of 4,000,- candle-power light, lying on a cot in u cabinet, his eyes protected by colored glasses, and after this treatment he arises, free from rheumatism, asthma, consumption, ache, and many other things. Such at least is the report.

CHAPTBK XVn.-(ConUn«ed.) And thus was tae work accomplished; and with a wsult not to be won4«r«d a t The Arabs had bean brave enough > over their rich prises, but they had lacked the sinew and force of the attacking party. In fact, upon foot, hand to hand, and front to front, either Julian or his lieutenant might have been a match for half of them. "Those two rascals are not worth pursuing,'' said our hero, ^ s he noticed that Hobaddan was looking after the fleeing Arabs. "Let them go. We have gained all we sought." After this Julian turned towards the females. Ulin saw him coming, and, with no thought save that of tenderest gratitude, she moved forward to meet him. "Heaven bless you, kind sir!" she said, as she extended to him her hand. "8weet lady," returned the chieftain, fervently, "talk not of blessings to me. Let me be the one to call down blessings. I know to whom I owe my life and my liberty. Hobaddan has told me all. Oh, let me bear ever with me the blessed privilege of remembering thee in my prayers to God!" Tears gathered in the eyes of the maiden, and her lips trembled; and when she spoke her voice betrayed the deep emotion that stirred her soul. "Indeed, fair sir," she said, with her hand still rating in ale, "you should not deny to me the privilege which you claim for yourself. If you can feel pleasure in cherishing a holy gratitude, I can feel the same. When I reinsurer the dreadful fate to which the Arabs had doomed me, I cannot forget the blessings which are due to the kind power that delivered me." "As you please, lady," replied Julian, letting go her hand. "The thought that thou art blessing me will be a blessing Indeed. And here is our fair Albia," he continued, turning to the bondmalden—and a close observer might have seen that he thus turned in order to subdue emotions that were rising to trouble him. "J do not forget that some blessing belongs to you." "I have served my mistress," said Albia, modestly. And then, perceiving that a change of subject would be a relief to both parties, she added, "We owe you so much, sir, that you will be forced to accept my grateful blessings with those of my lady. And now, if I may dare to interrupt you, will you tell us how you chanced to discover us?" "It was very simple, lady." replied Julian, directing his answer to the princess; "and though seemingly an accident, still I cannot help thinking that some kind spirit must have superintended the work. When we left Damascus we took a course slightly different from this; but on the way we met a poor traveler who informed us that he had been robbed. He did not tell us that the robbers were Arabs, and I fancied that they might be some of my own people. Fearing this, I "aeTeTmlued to—follow—them.—Their course was a crooked one, and vhen I finally reached the grove of datepalms, I had made up my mind to search no more. We were asleep in the grove, and Osmir awoke just as a party of horsemen were leaving the spring. He ran out and discovered that the strangers were Arabs, and that they had two females with them." • • • * * • The chieftain directed ^he slaves to drag the bodies of the dead Arabs together, and take from them the gold and jewels which had been taken from the princess, and then to cover them up in the sand; after which he requested Hobaddan to examine his wound. It seemed to be but a slight puncture, just below the collar bone, upon the left side, and as it was bleeding but slightly, Julian concluded not to have it probed. A simple compress staunched the blood, and it was thought that there could be no danger. When the slaves had done their work, the chieftain approached our heroine, and asked her whither she wished to go. "I will see you safe to your journey's end," he said, "even though it be to the gates' of Damascus." "I go not that way, sir," she replied. "I wish to And the cave of an old hermit named Ben Hadad." Julian started as* he heard this; but he quickly recovered himself. "Do you know that old man?" he asked. "No, sir—I never saw him; but he was a friend to my mother and I think he will be a friend to me." "Ah—do you go out from Damascus to find a friend?" "I pray you, sir, ask me no questions. If yon know where Ben Hadad lives, and it would not trouble you too much, I freely'accept your escort" "Noble lady, I not only know his place of abode, but my own course lies directly that way. If we start at once and meet with no further obstacle, we may reach it by the rising of another sun." "The sooner we start tte better," said Ulin; "and I can ride a long time without resting." "We will ride as fast and as far as *ur horses are willing," added Julian, as he truned to prepare for the move. In a few minutes they were mounted, Ulin and Albia once more taking the horses that had brought them from Damascus; and when all was ready, the chieftain and his lieutenant led off, leaving Shubal to ride with the females, while Osmir and Selim brought up the rear. A few hours past noon they stopped in a pleasant grove, where pure fresh water bubbled forth from a basin of whit* saad, and here they made a dinner of bread and fruit while the horses rested. Julian spoke with the princess and asked her how she bore the fatigue of t-7ie Journey; but his manner was free from any shade of familiarity. She in turn asked concerning his wound, and expressed the hope that it might not prove serious. When he had gone, Albia remarked: "The more I see of that man, the more do I love and honor him. He is no common man, my lady." "I shall always remember him with gratitude," returned Ulin, gazing down as she spoke. "And I," added the bondmalden, earnestly, "should like to remain with him, and serve him always." "You are generous, Albia." "Because I am but a poor slave, and can only pay such debts with grateful service.*' "No, no, Albia—a slave no more. When we left my father's house you stepped forth free. You are my companion— not my slave." The girl caught the hand of her mistress, and bathed it with tears. "Free!" she murmured. "Aye—free to serve you now and evermore! Still, dear lady, there is a holy satisfaction in feeling that the servile badge is stricken off. Your poor slave loved you truly, and you may be assured that Bhe will love you none the less now that she is a slave no more." Shortly after this, and while yet Albia was drying her eyes, Julian called up the horses, and made ready for another start. Late in the evening they reached the bank of the Pharphar, and once more stopped to rest. The cave of the hermit was only a few leagues distant, and could be easily reached by midnight. For himself the chieftain did not care. He wished the princess to act her own pleasure. • » * • The cave of Ben Hadad was in a deep valley, where the river wound oetween two long, high hms; and thick woods shut it out from the heat of the noonday sun and from the gaze of the stranger. A good path led tu it from the plain, thoush a person needed acquaintance with the way in order safely to follow it. Julian was surely used to the path, for' he threaded its various windings without any hesitation, and at length drew up before a bold face of rock, beneath an overhanging shelf on which was the entrance to Ben Hadad's cave. It was too dark now to fee all this plainly, but those who had been there before knew very well where they were. A loud call from Hobaddan soon brought a lighted torch from the cave, borne by a black slave. "What ho, Ortok; where is your master?" demanded the lieutenant "Ho, ho—it is Hobaddan." "Yes. you grinning rascal, it is I; and it is also Julian; and, furthermore, others are with us. Where is Ben Hadad " "He is in his bed, sir, sound asleep." "And where is my—where is Ezabel?" "She is also asleep, sir." "Then call them at onee. But hold —lead" us into the cave first." The negro came out with his torch, and while Hobaddan stopped a few moments with the slaves to look after the horses, Julian letf Ulin and Albia into the cave. It was a broad, high chamber in the solid rock, and the light of the torch revealed the fact that there must be other chambers beyond. In a little while a tall, broad-shouldered old man, with hair and beard as white as the breast of a swan, came forth from a distant passage, and almost at the same time an aged woman came from another direction. Julin quickly approached them, and spoke a few words in private and then said, aloud: "These ladies, good father and Brother/ seek your *Jd~juut protection. Aik them BO questions tonight, tor they are worn and weary, and need repots. On the morrow they will tell you their story." He then approached7 the princess. The old woman, when she saw Albia's face, recognised her at once; and as she gazed upon the beautiful features of the princess, the latter said: tures of the princess, she said": "Good mother." replied Ulin, "I shall tell you the whole truth and then you will know just how much protection' we need," And thereupon she went on, and related all that had transpired to the present She told how she had consented to be the wife of the king-r-she told of the death of her mother—and then ahe told how, in her bereavement, she bgean to dread and fear the man she had promised to marry. The woman took Ulln's nandr and pressed it warmly between her own. "Dear child," she said, with much emotion, for she had been deeply moved during the recital—"you could not have told your story to one who could have better understood it. I not only sympathize with you, but I will protect you, if need be, with all the power I possess; and I assure you that our good Ben Hadad will join me with all his heart. You did right in fleeing from the wicked king. I know him well, lady; and I believe you have not only saved yourself from an unhappy fate, but you have saved Horam from committing more crime. Thus much we understand," and now, my dear Ulin, if I may venture upon the inquiry, what do you propose to do in the future?" "My thoughts in that direction have been vague and troublesome,". replied the princess. She spoke frankly, for Ezabel had won her entire confidence. "I have reflected upon the subject, and my mind has found but one resting place. I must remain away from Damascus until the king is dead. I can think nothing more. Where I abide I care not, so long as I am safe from harm." The princess fell upon the woman's neck and blessed her; and after a little time sne became calm, and wiped the grateful tears from her face. Her next question was of Julian. Had he yet left the cave?" "No," replied Ezabel; "nor will he leave it at present! He is wounded in the breast, and " "Wounded!" repeated Ulin, catching suddenly—at the word, and turning pale. "Is it dangerous?" "No, not dangerous, lady; but he must have rest and nursing. It is more serious than he at first thought; but if he is careful, there will be no danger." "Oh," cried the maiden, in a tone of relief, "I am glad it is not dangerous. If he had suffered on my account, the joy of my escape Crom Horam would have been sadly darkened." CHAPTER XVIII. Ezabel bowed her head, and pressed her hands upon her brow. There was certainly some aeep and sudden emotion moving within her, for her frame trembled, and incoherent whisperings fell from her lips. "Julian will not suffer," she said, when she at length raised her head. "Ben Hadad has examined his wound, and it can be easily healed." "You have known Julian for some time," pursued Ulin, musingly. "Yes. I have known him from childhood, and mv son has been his conttetta WIS* Ball S<s*ft*a» Mow a*4 with OHMS' Moftsra XssptwisssMts. "If," said a dealer in such things, "anybody had told our grandfathers that the time would come when we should have ball-bearing grindstones X suppose they would have thought he was crazy; but we have them now and they are not very costly, either. If the grindstone is one that is worked with a treadle there are ball bearings on the crank, where the treadle rod is connected, as well as on the shaft on which the grindstone turns. Really, it is a pleasure to see that homely old tool, the grindstone, mounted on ball bearings, and it is a positive delight to see how easily such a grindstone turns. But the ball bearings are not the only modern improvement in grindstone equipment. There are nowadays grindstone frames and attachments that are patented. The old, old way of turning a grindstone "was-with-a^crankr or * single treadle; but nowadays we have single, treadles, one for each foot, aud the frame that supports the grindstone has upon one end of It a seat like you see pn a mowing machine or anything of that sort, this being by no means a device for a lazy man.^but a convenient means of enabling the man using the grindstone to get at it to the best advantage. If you, knowing the grindstone of ancient times, will picture to yourself a man sitting in a comfortable seat so placed on the end of the frame that he can get square at the face of the stone, which he turns by means of two treadles, one under each foot, the stone itself turning on ball bearings throughout, a grindstone yet distinctly modernized, you will get some idea of the difference between the old grindstone and the new.—Detroit Free Press.

Many thou* sanos of acres which a lew years ago was nothing but A dreary waste, covered by the debris left by the lumber mill and forest fires have been reclaimed and to-day large rields of corn and other grain can be seen. In and around Alma we could not help but notice that every little patch of ground had been tilled '<y someone and sown to the sugar beet to supply the beet s u s a r factory at Alma besides thousands of acres on tbe farms. For miles each side; of that place vast fields of beets could be seen on every side. Evidently the beet sutjar industry has come to stay in the central p a r t of our statu at least. lieves the oppressive heat. In winter they have plenty of snow but we were surprised to learn that the thermometer seldom reaches below zero and that is one ot tbe main reasons that peaches thrive.

The small fishing smack which goes out every morning, returning in the evening with the spoils of the day, the three-masted schooner, or sleam barge, all form a scene that is nevar to be forgotten. The light house and life-saving station are also points ot interest and it. is well worth ones time to try and be present on drilling days when tjie civ-w come out.

Another important project which will call for an additional expenditure of 1150,000 is announced by tbe Ann Arbor railroad in connection with the vast changes and improvements being worked on Frankfort-on-the-Lake, For some time the company ha* been securing the right at' way, and is finally in a position to announce th»- construction of a railroad connecting Frankfort and Crystal Lake, running for a great part of the distance alonp the shores of Lake Michigan and Crystal Lake. The primary purpose of this ina provement is to enable tbe guests athe new hotel and the occupants, of tbe summer cottages at Frankfort t - enjoy tbe splendid bathing facilitietwhich will be provided at Crysta' Lake. In tbe summer open cars wil leave Frankfort every 45 minutes The entire trip will require only 45 minutes, and the passengers will b»- enabled to stop at the grounds and at the colonies at Frankfort and Crystal Lake. People who have visited ,Frankfort and Crystal Lake will recall that th^ two resorts are already connected b\ rail, but frbis new circle railroad will be a vast improvement for summer traffic following-, as-Ur-does, a pic4ur^- esque and beautiful route close to tlvshores of the two lakes. It will als< provide of course more frequent and more rapid service, and the ride in itself will be so pleasant and beautiful that it will prove one of the attractions of tbe resort. To those who have never made a trip through that part.of Michigan we would say tbat it is worth the price just to get an idea of the size of the state and what.is done along tbe hue. The cost will be small and no one would ever regret it.

Reunion of ta« Seventh Mtahljraa Infantry at Detroit— Michigan Pensions—Event* and Gossip Prom All Fart* of tfre State Stewed Down for Beady Readlas* Forty years ago President Lincoln appointed John Jap Jackson of Parkersburg, W. Va., Judge of the United States circuit court and he still holds the position. During all these years he has never failed but once to hold court at the appointed time. That was when confederate troopSpUnder Gen. Loring were in possessioiPof Charlestown, where the sessions were held, and the session assigned for that date had to be postponed. It is announced from Constantinople that the Sultan has had to be bled. For some time he has manifested a somnolent tendency. Recently he slept continuously for fifteen hours, and after awaking for about an hour he went to sleep again. He was only roused by his Arab body physician applying ice to his temples. The physician then intimated to the Sultan that his condi* f.fati tfifHofttpd excess of blood, and that bleeding was necessary in order to obviate danger to the brain. After making the doctor swear on the Koran that no injurious results need be apprehended, the Sultan let himself be bled, and his quick-witted servitors gathered the blood into tiny phials, which can be sold to the faithful at 1<M> piastres each. ~~ i Dr. L. 0. Howard, entomologist of the department of agriculture, has Just made public some startling statements of the property losses caused by insects. He believes they aggregate over $300,000,000 a year. The Rocky Mountain locust or western grasshopper in 1874, ate up $100,000,000 worth of growing crops. The chinch-bug alone has eaten $300,000,000 worth of 'corn and wheat in the western states since 1850. As for the mosquito, apart from the losses believed to be due to its pernicious activity in the spread of yellow fever and malaria, It is an immense depredator of real estate values. A New Jersey newspaper recently estimated that its extermination in that one state alone would add to its real estate valuation not less than $100,000,000. The Flint Fair Accident. An accident that will result in the death of two of the victims, and which caused the serious Injury of several others, occurred on the Flint fair 1 grounds into Thursday afternoon. One of the, guy ropes of, a TtuTts wheel, operated by a man ndined. Crell, got loose, the stake to which It was fastened pulling out, and the structure fell. The cars were filled at the time. Joseph Pear, of Chicago, aged 30, while trying to save his sister and niece, was' taught and had his jaw broken. His skull was also fractured and be will die. Fred Borden, of Ionia, who was taking tickets, was struck and received injuries that will cause his death. Miss Bessie Weeks, aged 18, had her cheek bone crushed in; John, aged i), and Auabel. aged 8, children of liev. C. A. Llpplneott, were badly injured, but will recover.

Lea Bourdon as their queen of the coal carnival. This young woman is in the coal trade in the capacity of a sifter, and although *her work is so grimy she has a beautiful complexion, which, no doubt, added to her good character, gave her the necessary number of votes, although the competition was keen, her fellow-candidates being drawn from the cleaner walks of life. The car which carried the queen and her maids of honor was decorated with flowers, picks, lanterns, etc. Mile. Bourdon is only 17, and the coronation In the center of the town made a very beautiful tableau. To be coal queen entitles her to a small annuity from the treasury of the town, and with her French thrift she will save this for her dot. oner to Jackson for life at hard labor. The murder was a cold-blooded affair. Weeks was jealous of the woman and shot her because she received at tentions from a rival. Weeks is a married man. He broke down when sentenced. Just before the trnin for Jackson •started—his—little dTrugtrtPT Mabel braved the curiosity of the crowd and kissed her lather an affectionate goodby. On\r 20O Survived.

As the steamer Sheffield was leaving the river Scheldt one evening recently the captain and passengers observed the unusual phenomenon (in these latitudes) of a large waterspout. The steamer was a few miles off West Capple, and from a heavy thunder cloud lying due west of this point, and computed to be about ten miles distant, a dense black column was formed, which appeared to fall by a sinuous course Into the sea. At this distance the surface of the sea—where the waterspout touched its surfacewas at once surrounded by a smokelike obscurity. Hundreds of tons of water must have dropped heavily into the sea. The black line of communication between the oloud and the sea fell precipitately at nrst, then for some distance appeared to encounter a fresh current of air and was borne along laterally, after which it dropped into the sea. Thw phenomenon continued dashing up the surface of the sea tor about four minutes.

All day Thursday mulled drums heat their reoulemB. brasses walled out < » th3 strains of marches of the deadTP11*3^4^**"1-113^ great men of the nation followed a funeral car in grief and tears. Through solid banks of bareheaded men and weeping women and children, fringed by a wall of soldiers, marching military and civilians passed with the mourners of the distinguished dead. First among those who followed the dead during the Journey from the homo to the tomb was the man who is now at the head of the government. Mrs. McKinley Near* Collapse. Mrs. McKinley was unable to attend the funeral. While the last rites were being said she remained in a room of the family home, dazed, not realizing that death had come to her husband, almost paralyzed mentally. During the morning, at her urgent request., she sat alone for a time beside the coffin as it lay in the south parlor of the house. No one seeks to lift the veil that is drawn over this scene about the bier of the last earthly sleep. The casket was not opened. But she was near the one who ever had cared for and protected her; near tne dead for whom grief has burned fr into the soul of a country the lessons of manliness and beneficence taught by his life. Flnnl Ceremonlet Impressive. The last ceremonies for the late president were marked with a dignity that struck dumbness to the tens of thousands who watched the funeral column make the journey from the home to the cemetery. From the south parlor of the frame house which had so long been the family home the But the men, of the war days of forty years ago, with whom the martyred president had marched in his youth, passed up this road before the funeral car approached. They caught up the1 ilowers as they passed, pressing them to their lips. Just ahead of the hearse marched the handful of survivors at the late president's own regiment. They, too, gathered up the bloom* as tSlooms Taken as Mementos. So it happened that when the men of the army and of the navy carried the black casket within the, shadow of the vault the flower carpet had disappeared, its blooms, however, to be guarded for years as mementos of this day of sorrow. ' Just without the entrance to this mausoleum stood the new president of the United States. The colfln rested on supports only a hand's reach from him. Then the members of the cabinet formed an open line with him, and members of the family—all save the lone woman who was in the home under the close watch of Dr. Rixcy— gathered near. "Earth to earth, ashes to ashes, dust to dust," came the benediction from the lips of the venerable Bishop Joyce. The roar of the cannon echoed from the hilltop just above. It came as a mighty "amen." Again the white- .haired minister spoke. Again came the crashing roar of the salute, its rever berations beating on and on over the hills about the city. "Taps" Sounded by Bugler. "Taps," the saddest call the bugle language of the army knows, came from eight bugles. The last notes were held until the breath of the wind seemed to rob them of life. Away down the bread street, two miles away, the marching columns were 3till coming. The music of the bands, muted, it seemed, by some giant hand came floating to the group about th-3 vault— "Nearer, My God, to Thee, Nearer to FUNERAL TRAIN EN ROUTE FROM WASHINGTON SCENE AT A WAY STATION. TO CANTON casket was borne to the First Metho- j Thee." Once again came the crash dist church at Canton, with statesmen, j from the guns' above. diplomats, great men of nation, representatives of the world, gathered with the surrounding members of the family. Ministers of five religious denominations said .the simple services. Great Throng Joins In H y m n . Troops banked the streets about, but the thousands who had gathered near and stood in places for five h,ours held weir ground, catching up the broken drains of "Nearer, My God, to Thee." The silence of calm had come; jthe silence of supreme excitement had passed. "It was not at him," said the minister of the church, all but hidden from sight by the mountains of blooms and floral pieces that bound in the pulpit and choir loft, "that the fatal shot was fired, but at the heart of our government." Then he added: "In all Door Is Closed Upon Martyr. Then the casket was carried within the vault. Five infantrymen marched behind it. A moment passed ar.d the outer doors were closed. The last ceremony was over; the third martyred president of the United States. had been committed to God and eternity. Slowly the marching column treaded about the crescent road to the left of the temporary tomb. Then darkness threw its veil over all, tb.3 sileni guards took their stations, tho cejaetery gatoj were closed. Nevvr Mourning More Sincere. That is the bare outline of one of the most imposing and impressive funerals ever seen in the United States. To fill in all its details would lake the coming years men will seek, but [ Pages, while to convey an adequate will seek in vain, to fathom the enormity and the wickedness of that crime." New President in Tears. These words brought home with crushing force the warning that the last scenes were being enacted. Among those who sat with bowed heads was President Roosevelt The tears welled into his eyes as he heard the petitions that God might guide his hands aright. Then camo the last stage of this Journey to the city of the dead. Members of the United States senate, -those who sit in the house 6f representatives, officials and citizens from practically every state In the union, soldiers, military organisations—a column of more than 6,000 men followed the funeral car on this last journey. Path Is Carpeted In Flowers. The skies were hidden by cloud3 of gray, but not a drop of rain fell. The path of flagging Ifedtng to the iron-gated vault was burled beneath 1\ covering of blooms. This carpet of flowers came as an/offering frua. the school cfeildnea of Nashville, lean. idea of the feature of it all which was most conspicuous—the depth and silence of the grief displayed—is beyond words. In that respect it was tho scenes of Wednesday enacted over again with increased intensity. All along through the great black lane of people that stretched from the Mc- Kinley hone to the cemetery—quite two miles—were men and women weeping as though their dearest friend was being !»oine to the grave. Every Eye Dim With Tears. About the tomb Itself the outburst of grief wMstlll more striking. As the casket Wffs borne into the vault there was not a member of the cabinet who was hot vTsTbTy" affected, while several were in tears, with their handkerchiefs to their eyes. Secretary Root, although controlling himself to #ome degree of outward calm, was deeply moved, while President Roosevelt repeatedly pressed his handkerchief to his eyes. Scenes at the Church. It was 1:50 o'clock when the procession reached the stately stone ediflco where the funaral services wore to be held. At the church entrance were drawn up deep, flies of soldiers, with bayonets advanced, keeping a clear area for the advancing casket and the. long train of mourners. The hearse halted while President Roosevelt and members of the cabinet aiighted. Again they grouped themselves at either side of the entrance, and with uncovered heads awaited the passing of the casket Then the flower- coverea coffin was brought from the »hearse and as it passed within the, black-draped entrance the president and his cabinet followed within the edifice. Members o f Congress Enter. At tho rear of each or tne tour aisles stood a soldier at attention, cap in hand, musket held straight in front. The members of the senate entered. At pew. 4ix«?tlr iitfhine, t&e men of- the naty a** Just across the aial* from President Roosevelt After Dr. and Mrs. Boer came the venerable Joseph Saaton, uncle of Mrs. McKinley. Th« great organ had left the funeral march and now tJ^'reed* pealed out the strains of "Nearer, My God, to Thee." Those who had accompanied the funeral train then were seated. Senatoi and Mrs. Fairbanks came first, fol* lowed by Controller Charles Gate* Dawes. Senator Hanna followed. Ht looked worn and leaned on his cane, Mrs. Hanna accompanied him. Then the black-gloved ushers seated the other members of the party. The formation of the funeral procession was as follows: ., First Division. Gen. Eli Torrance, national commander O. A.

Then came Penrose and Cockrell, Scott, Burrows of Michigan, Tilman and Mason of Illinois. Next the members of the house filed In. They numbered almost 150. Speaker Henderson at the head. Louder came the mourn of the band, and outside the troops had formed a phalanx of sabers and bayonets;—Then, under tho black shrouded door, came the casket. Under Arch of Sabers. The black coffin had passed under an arch of drawn sabers as it was carried up the steps. Lieutenant General Miles and the men of the army and Rear Admiral Farquhar and th»* men of the navy held their positions. Covered with a great American flag, bearing only sprays of immortelles and roses tendered by the Legation ol honor, the casket was slowly •brought to the front, supported on the shoulders of the blue jackets and the soldiers. At the foot of the mountain of flowers marking the altar ami the choir loft lay the bier shrouded, too. in the national colors and in black. On this the- casket was placed under the quivering folds of the starry banner, with the lights shedding their effulgence from above, the fragrance of the flowers hovering about and the music of Beethoven's grand funeral march pulsing from the organ, the bodybearers gently lowered the flagdraped and flower-adorned coffin to its support. All Rise as Coffin Passes. Then the generals took their places in the first seat to the right of the central aisle. The rear admirals crossed and tool: the first pew to the left. Every one wfthin the church had risen as the casket was brought in. They remained standing. A moment later and President Roosevelt entered through the same doorway of black.

GZ oblivion and Its defeats X speak 'today. There is an old monster that •wallows down everything. ' It crunches individuals, families, communities, toamisphe « p of yea etjdes, of •aonster 1: w • nations, continents, worlds. Its diet is made of centuries, of ages, of kiUenniums. of eons. That Called by Noah Webster sad all other dictionaries "Oblivion." It Is a steep down which everything tolls. It is a conflagration in which everything is consumed. It is a dirge which all orchestras play and a period sit which everything* stops. It is the cemetery of the human race. It is the domain of forgetfulness. Oblivion! At times it throws a shadow over all of us, and I would not pronounce it today if I did not come armed in the strength of the eternal Ood on your behalf to attack it, to route it, to demolish it. Why, just look at the way the families of the earth disappear. For awhile they are together, inseparable, and to oach other indispensable, and then they part, some by marriage going to establish other homes, and some leave this life, and a century is long enough to plant a family, develop It, prosper it and obliterate it. So the generations -vanish. Walk up Pennsylvania avenue, Washington; Broadway, New York; State street, Boston; Chestnut Btreet, Philadelphia; the Strand, London; Princess street, Edinburgh; GbAmps Elysees, Paris; Unter den Linden, Berlin, and you will meet in this year, 1901 not one person who wanted there in the year 1801. What -emgalfment! All the ordinary • efforts at perpetuation art dead failures. Walter Scott's Old Mortality may go round with his chisel to recut the faded epitaphs on tombstones, but Old Oblivion has a quicker chisel with which he can cut out a thousand epitaphs while Old Mortality is cutting one epitaph. Whole libraries of biographies devour- «d of bookworms or unread of the rising generations. All the signs of the stores and warehouses of great firms have changed, unless the grandsons think that it is an advantage to keep the old sign up because the name of the ancestor was more commendatory than the name of the descendant. The city of Rome stands today, but dig ' down deep enough, and you come to another Rome, buried, and go down still farther, and you will find a third Some. Jerusalem stands today, but *Jttg down deep enough and yon will land a Jerusalem underneath and go on and deeper down a third Jerusalem. Alexandria, Egypt, on top of an Alexandria, and the second on top of t^e third. Many of the ancient cities are buried thirty feet deep or fifty feet deep or 100 feet deep. What was the matter? Any special calamity? No The wind and waves and sands and 'flying dust are all undertakers and rgravediggers, and if the world stands long enough the present Washington and New York and London will have top of them other Washingtons New Yorks and Londons, and only after digging and boring and blasting will the archaeologists of far distant centuries come down as far as the ihighest spires and domes and turrets >ot our present American and European ^cities. Th* Boll of Armies. Call the roll of the armies of Baldwin I. or of Charles Martel or of Marlborough or of Mlthridates or of Prince iFrjederick or of Cortes, and not one answer will you hear. Stand them in tine and call the roll of the 1,000,000 in the army of Thebes. Not one Stand them in line, the 1,704,690 infantry and the 200,000 cavalry of the Assyrian army under Ninas, and call the roll. Not one an- .«wor. Stand in line the 1,000,000 men •of Sesostris, the 1,200,000 men of Attaxorxes at Cunaxa, the 2,641,000 >man under Xerxes at Thermopylae and -eon the long roll. Not one answer. the opening of our civil war the of the northern and southern were told that if they fell in their names would never be sfatfotten by their country. Out of million men who fell in battle or in military hospitals yon cannot »oaH the names of a thousand, nor the mvoja* of 680 nor the names of 100. moraine names o* fifty. Oblivion! Are too'feet of the dancers who at the < of the Duchess of Richmond at the night before Waterloo all sttil? heard dealt AU deaf, Ars too eyes that ^ w the coronation of George U. all claeedt All closed. Oblivion! A hundred years from now there will not bo a being on' this earth thai knew we ever iited. In some old family record a descendant studying up the ancestral line may spell out our name and from the faded Ink with great effort find that some person by our name wan born somewhere in the nineteenth century, but they will know no more about us than we know about the color of a child's eyes born last night in a village in Patagonia. Tell me something about your great-grandfather. What were his features? What did he do? What year was he born? What year did he die? And yoitf great-grandmother? Will you describe the.style of the hat she wore, and how did she and your great-grandfather get on in each other's companionship? Was it March weather or June? Oblivion! That mountain surge rolls over everything. Even the pyramids are dying. Not a day passes but there is chiseled off a chip of that granite. The sea Is triumphing over the land, t and what is going on at our Atlantic coast Is going on all around the world, and the continents are crumbling into the waves, and while this is transpiring on the outside of the world, the hot chisel of the internal fire is digging under the foundations of the earth and cutting its way out toward the surface. It surprises me to hear the people say they do not think the world will flnallly be burned up when all the scientists will tell you that it has for ages been on fire. Why, there is only a crust between us and the furnaces inside raging to get out Oblivion! The world itself will roll into it as easily as a schoolboy's India rubber ball rolls down a hill, and when our world goes It is so interlocked by the law of gravitation with other worlds that they will go too, and so far from having our memory perpetuated by a monument of Aberdeen granite in this world there is no world in sight of our strongest telescope that will be a sure pediment for any slab of commemoration of the fact that we ever lived or died at all. Our earth is struck with death. The axletree of the constellations will break and let down the populations of other worlds. Stellar, lunar, solar, mortality. Oblivion! It can swallow and will swallow whole galaxies of worlds as easily as a crocodile takes down a frog. Yet oblivion does not remove or swallow everything that had better not be removed or swallowed. The old monster is welcome to his meal. This world would long ago have been overcrowded if not for the merciful removal of nations and generatipns. What if all the books had lived that were ever written and printed and published? The libraries would by their immensity have obstructed intelligence and made all research impossible. The fatal epidemic of books was a merciful epidemic. Many of the state and national libraries today are only morgues, in which dead books are waiting for some one to come and recognize them. What if all the people that had been born were still alive? We would have been elbowed by our ancestors of ten centuries ago, and people who ought to have said their last word 3,000 years ago would snarl at u&', saying, "What xare you doing here?" There would have been no' room to turn around. Some of the past generations of mankind were not worth remembering. The first useful thing that many people did was to die, their cradle a misfortune and their grave a boon. This world was hardly a comfortable place to live In before the middle of the eighteenth century. 60 many things have come into the world that were not fit to stay in we ought to be glad they were put out The waters of Lethe, the fountain of forgetfulness, are a healthful draft The history we have of the world in ages past is always one sided and cannot be depended on. History is fiction illustrated by a few straggling facts. * * • ' Wby We Should Be Bem«mbered. Now, I have told you that thlsobll-r vion of which I have spoken has its defeats and that there is no more reason why we should not be distinctly and vividly and gloriously remembered five hundred million billion trillion quadrillion qulntilllon years from now than that we should be remembered six weeks. I am going to tell you how the thing can be done and will be done. We may build this "everlasting remembrance," as my text styles it, into the supernal existence of those to whom we do kindness in this world. You must remember that this infirm and treacherous faculty which we now call memory is in the future state to be complete and perfect. "Everlasting remembrance!" Nothing will slip the stoat grip of that celestial faculty. Old you help a widow pay her rent? Did yon find for that man released from prison a place to get honest work? Did you pick up a child fallen on the curbstone and by a stick of candy put his hand stop tot hurt on hit acratched kneefBid yew assure a business mail owamped by the stringeney of the money markot that times would afterawhile ho, battett DWyoaleada Magdalen of the street into a mjdftit** mtstion, where the Lord said to bet, ^Neither do I condemn thee. Qo ond sin no more?" Did you teli>* man clear discouraged in his waywardness and hopeless and plotting suicide that for him was near by a lover in which he might wash and a coronet of eternal blensednesa he might wear? What are epitaphs in graveyards, what are eulogiums in presence of those whose breath Is in their nostrils, what are unread biographies in the alcoves of .' city library, compared with the imper* ishable records you have made in the illumined memories of those to whom you did such kindnesses? Forget them? They cannot forget them. Not* withstanding all their might and splendor there are some things the glorified of heaven cannot do, and this is one of them. They cannot forget an earthly kindness done. They have no cutlass to part that cable. They have no strength to hurl into oblivion that benefaction. Has Paul forgotten the inhabitants of Malta, who extended the island hospitality when he and others with him had felt, added to a shipwreck, the drenching rain and the sharp cold? Has the victim of the highwayman on the road to Jericho forgotten the good Samaritan with a medicament of oil and wine and a free ride to the hostelry? Have the English soldiers who went up to God from the Crimean battlefields forgotten Florence Nightingale? Through all eternity will the northern and southern soldiers forget the northern and southern women who administered to the dying boys in blue and gray after the awful fights In Tennessee and Pennsylvania and Virginia and Georgia, which turned every house and barn and shed into an hospital and incarnadined the Susquehanna and the James and the Chattahoochee and the Savannah with brave blood? The kindnesses you do to others will stand as long in the appreciation of others as the gates of heaven will stand, as the "house of many mansions" will stand, as long as the throne of God will stand. Defeat of Oblivion. Another defeat of oblivion will be found in the character of those whom we rescue, uplift or save. Character ia eternal. Suppose by a right influence we aid in transforming a bad man into a good man, a dolorous man into a happy man, a disheartened man into a courageous man, every stroke of that work done will be immortalized. There may never be so much as one line in a newspaper regarding it or no mortal tongue may ever whisper it into human ear, but wherever that soul shall go your work upon it shall go, wherever that soul rises your work on it will rise, and so long as that soul will last your work on it will last. Do you suppose there will ever come isuch an idiotic lapse In the history of that soul in heaven that it shall forget that you invited him to Christ; that you, by prayer or gospel word, turned him round from the wrong way to the right way? No such insanity will ever smite a heavenly citizen. It is not half as well on earth known that Christopher Wren planned and built St. Paul's as it will be known in all heaven that you were the Instrumentality of building a temple for the sky. We teach a Sabbath class or put a Christian tract in the hand of a passerby or testify for Christ in a prayer meeting or preach a sermon and go home discouraged; as though nothing had been accomplished, when we had been character building with a material that no frost or earthquake or rolling of the centuries can damage or bring down. There is no sublimer art on earth than architecture. With pencil and rule and compass the architect sits down alone and in silence and evolves from his own brain a cathedral or a national capitol or a massive home before he leaves that table, and then he goes out and unrolls his plans and calls carpenters and mason and artisans of all sorts to execute his design, and when it is finished he walks around the vast structure and Bees the completion of the work with high satisfaction, and on a stone at some corner of the building the architect's name may be chiseled. But the storms do their work, and time, that takes down everything, will yet take down that structure-until there shall not be one stone left upon another. But there is a soul in heaven. 88 m 353 /*i m+» LMB!& A YOUNO OHIOAJ HMfclftVl Brooklyn. IC T„ iapt. misinform*-. received regarding tho wc~ it taer Qi |l* ovei the !'€annptOof!>ff»' She XlgbA (&mi.

Australian Apples. Parts of Australia are becoming live* ly rivals to Canada and the United States in the European apple trade. Tasmania, especially, has been found a first-class apple-raising country. There are 8,873 acres in apple orchards there and the product in 18M was 863,- 916 bushels. iUdmtaatkm » at will have an equipment of pernet lights $ beautiful globes, which* burn day and night, year in and year, out, and shed a brilliant glow without ceasing. Leaking gas lets will be a thing of the past The disagreeable duty of cleaning keroaeue lamps will be only a memory and a tradition. Every family will have a supply of porcelain or glass globes, each one of them a tiny sun, throwing out a strong, beautiful white light from within. The globe will be something of a mystery, for it will have no connection with any wires, and it will require no refilling or attention. It will be sealed hermetically, and its contents will probably be concealed from sight, but by shaking it one may be able to ascertain that there is a liquid inside. Cannot Govern the Light. There will be no way of turning the light down or of turning it off. It may be put in a closet in the daytime or hidden under a hood, but It will go right along putting in 24 hours' work every day. The inventor says it will continue to do its very best so long as the globe remains sealed perfectly, even though that should be for years. The secret of the perpetual light is a combination of chemicals in a vacuum. The chemicals are four or five In number, but Mr. Magrady declines to give further information as to their identity until the patent office has passed on his application for a patent. They are less than an ounce in bulk. When brought into contact in the globe, they dissolve and give off strong fumes. When these fill the receptacle the globe is sealed so perfectly as to keep out all air. The gas :tMJM ^ i ^ M s f c . ^ W apt ;to aott^ tho GEORGE P. MAGRADY. formed by the chemical combination glows with dazzling intensity, the inventor says. A test has shown a strength of 36 candle power. The light is white and is as steady as an incandescent electric light, there being no flicker. Mr. Magrady is a photographer and made his discovery by accident. While engaged in photographic work he noticed a bottle give forth a small but bright light, and on investigation learned that it happened to contain a mixture of several chemicals. He at once saw the possibility of a new illuminant and began a series of experiments to determine its quality and to discover the conditions under which it might be made of practical use. He was successful in his experiments and now declares that a lamp can be made at a cost of about 75 cents. Shocking Turkish Superstition. Hanan, a village on the borders of Anatolia, in Turkey, was the scene of a horrible tragedy a few days ago. There had been an epidemic In the district for some weeks, and, as its ravages ever became greater, the villagers finally felt satisfied that ft was the work of sorcerers, and, after a thorough Investigation, they arrested a man named Asian, and his sister and openly charged them with being the direct cause of the disease. The two prisoners avowed their innocence, but the mob insisted that they had been using incantations and other evil spells, and that their sole object in doing so was to invoke an epidemic. Without delay sentence was pronounced. Asian was burned alive on an improvised scaffold, and his sister was mercilessly tortured with red hot irons. News of the shocking crime was at once taken to the local authorities and in a few hours the principal instigators were arrested. It is not believed, however, that this step will aid much toward the extirpation of superstitious •Jsas In Kannn. t..M* oi* 1 ,''f ip" "" V*. fcOa-V, A *#>A :222£& tVwJtt Trees grow out 61 'doors and doors are made out of trees.'

(Copyright, 18C1, by Daily Story Pub. Co.) Conductor Shaffer of No. 5 let himself down from the rear end of his train aa it'came to a standstill. He cast an inspecting glance along the line of cars and at first hardly noticed the white-haired man who came creeping out from under the car near which he has standing. It was evident that the stranger had been stealing a ride, and he was dirty and begrimed; but in spite of the unattractive appearance of the man there was something unusual in his appearance that would cause anyone to look at him a second time. The skin had the pink tint and smoothness of youth, yet the hair above the face waa aa white as winter •now. The men looked at each other a moment and then the Btranger turned quickly as if about to move •way; 8aid Conductor Shaffer; "Joe Jordon, by thunder!" "Hoped you wouldn't know me, Shaft." "I'd k9ow you in the kingdom come, Joe. But, Lord, how you have changed!" Joe appeared a bit uneasy and moved from one foot to the other restlessly. "What you doing under that train?" "Riding the rods." "From where?" "Other end of the division/' "Where were you going?" "Didn't know and didn't care. Just got out because I was getting cramped." "You are a regular bum, then?" "Yep, pretty much." "Just you get right in the smoker there and after I work the train I will come in and talk 4o you." After Conductor Shaffer had done "Joe Jordon, by thunder!** bit work be went forward and ant down by the side of the queer looking tramp, "Kind of getting up in the world gome, ain't yon, Shaft r ••How?" v N "Kind of elevated from a freight run to this." "Yep, made up my mind three years ago that the old man on the I. N. and W. would tfeyer give me a chance, so I took the first offer and transferred over here. Had not been here six months until I got this passenger run. You seem~fo"beFTsHir on the slow freights In your line, Joe. What on earth has happened to your hair?" "It's a pretty long story, Shaft, unless you have got time to listen." "Twenty miles to the next stop." "Well, you see, it is like this. Shaft. It's five years since I dropped out Not one single person that I knew or that knew me in the old days has ever seen me or spoken to me since then until I ran across you this morning. There was no one dependent upon me, and no one that cared, I guess. You know that I was running pretty strong with Mary Parr then for a time, and although she is married now " "What's that?" "Well; I ain't ashamed to say that I . thought a lot of her and if things had gone differently may be I would have had a passenger run by this time. One evening Mary and I had a little spat— didn't amount to much, but we thought it did—and that settled it. Then I heard that she was going with Henry Weber, a machinist at the shops, and so I kind of dropped out. Left the road and worked all over for a time. Then I got to traveling about a bit, and soon I was on the bum. You don't know how easily a fellow can drop into that, especially a fellow that knows railroading as I do. I have traveled all over these United States without a cent It's hard lines some times, but I don't know but it ia aa good aa any other if a fellow don't care what becomes of him. "About my white head? Did you ever hear that a man's hair could turn gray in a night I never took much stock in that, but here before you is a sample of what can be done by tear. It was in this way. I had been wandering down through the eastern states some three years ago, and one night 1 landed at Lancaster, Pa. There waa a young fellow hanging around the Pennsylvania road's water tank and we decided to travel together. It waa warm even if it was late winter and we began nosing around the cars. The young fellow found a car door unsealed and called re-me. We climbed in and found ourselves in a car loaded with bananas. It was pleasant enough and we found straw on top of the crates and made it a good place for sleeping. Before I went to sleep a brakexnan came along and I heard him swearing because the banana car had not been teaied before it left Newa X and then ? uearu him closing Pi* door. It Jld not seem that I had been alseep very long when I waa awakened by my companion. Said he: 11 'There is something inOhi* car/ "'Of course there ia/ said I, and about to fall asleep again. "'It's something crawling. Dont you feet them ?' "I knew that he was telling the truth and felt that I also had the same to tear. Our warm bodies probably attracted the creatures, because they be- ' gan to crawl over us, and to this day I have only to close my eyes and I can see and feel those hairy legs and little claws creeping on my flesh. Suddenly my companion gave a scream and began beating the air and fighting the tarantulas. We were pressed so clo*e to the roof of the car that we could scarcely move, and as I lay there not daring to even turn a hand or foot it was fearful. The odor from the insects that he had crushed and from the ripe fruit was in itself overpowering, and It is not surprising that I soon became unconscious. And that no doubt saved my life and reason. "It was some time the next day when I awoke, and there was daylight in the car. I looked about and there was not a tarantula in sight I called to my companion, but there was no answer, and 1 was too weak to get over to him. After a time I heard people moving outside and made an outcry that attracted attention. At last the car was opened and I was released. I won't trouble you with all those details, but they found the body of my companion. It was swollen to horrible size and a fearful thing to see. I lay in a hospital three weeks and when I came out my hair waa like it is now, although you know, Shaft, 1 am less than thirty." "I have had some darned queer stories told me, Joe Jordan, but that takes the calie. Who told you that Mary Parr was married?" "Nobody; just knew it was all." m*^wmmfi*i ft t* t e e ' Qs&esst :'.MH , ^Be.

"Well, the old man always spoke mighty well of you, and if there ia nothing doing tor you on that road, I have got a pretty good pull over here myself. You drop oft at home with me, and we will see about fixing you up a bit before'you tackle him." s Progress In Ocean Travel* In 1840 the Cunard steamship Britannia, built of wood, propelled by paddle wheels, maintained a sea speed of about 8½ knots. Her steam pressure was 12 pounds per inch. She was 207 feet long, about 2,000 tons displacement her engines developed about 750-horse power, and her coal consumption was about 40 tons a day, or about five pounds of coal per indicated horse power per day. She carried a full spread of sail.

"Why do you not think so? Exp!ain yourself," the President went on to inquire, in a condescending way. "'Mon Dleu/ I said, 'my father told me one day that he only recognized M.

Benton. 111., Sept 30th.—Much comment has been caused by the action of Dr. R. H. Dunaway, a physician here, who for over a year past has been recommending Dodd's Kidney Pills to those of his pauents who suffered from Rheumatism, Bright's Disease, Diabetes or other Kidney Troubles. Dr. Dunaway also published an open letter last May stating positively that he himself had been cured of Diabetes by Dodd's Kidney Pills, and that, after he had concluded be was going to die. He is a well man today and says he feels It his duty to do as he has done and is doing because Dodd's Kidney Pills saved his life. their friends. "I was looking over the field in the Interest of the Columbian exposition," said he. "At one time I was stopping at a town 110 miles from the nearest railroad. This town is reached only by pack animals, and everything Is carried into the place on the backs of the patient beasts. On the day before I left a leading citizen invited me to his house, where he said a reception would be given in my honor. I found about thirty people present We sat down to a bountiful feast, at the close of which the cigars were brought out, and we enjoyed ourselves until daylight, according to the customs of the country. A fine variety of wine was served during the night The next day I learned that the party consumed 180 bottles of champagne. This wine had been shipped 10,000 miles by water, 260 miles by railway train, and had been packed 110 miles into the town. The cost of transportation was appalling to an American, but the natives seemed to think it a mere bagatelle. The wine for the feast probably cost 81.500.

It was this way: Brown, putting it plainly, is fat. Some of his friends with cannibalistic imaginations, say that he Is fat enough to butcher. But let that pass. He is fat, and the other night, shirt open at the collar, damp hair spread at will, and fan going like a pendulum of a grandfather's clock, he served notice that he waa going to stretch a hammock in the back yard and sleep there. Mrs. Brown made the foolish suggestions of burglars, croup, and neuralgia, but he was fixed in his purpose. Brown is the best and most reliable sleeper in town. The storm came with its deluge. The swaying hollyhocks banged him in the face, and the swinging branches of the big maple tried to bat him out of the hammock. But they only rocked him, and the rain cooled him. His visions were a charm until he dreamed that he was Cadillac, standing at the prow of his bateau and going for the foot of Randolph street as though pursued by a sea serpent of the New York yell journal breed. All would have^gone well, as a nightmare, but he sprang to his feet with a valiant etu&t, waved an imaginary sword, pitched about Hke a dugout In a maelstrom,/went overboard head first, and came down hard on a sidewalk. Brown is /all right unless complications set in,' but one side of his scalp is trying to grow on again, his left ear aches, he has an arm in a aling, and there is a towel over one eye; The moral he draws is that once in two hundred years Is a great plenty.

This is tbe home of the pastor. If their rooms are filled yon can be accomodated near by. On leaving the Exposition grounds you can take a car at tbe north gate, avoiding the crowd that congregates at the other entrances and soon be at your boarding place.

The following suggestions, if you please, are not from an artist nor even from a connoisseur, the writer being nothing more than an ordinary picture lover. In general the principle to be followed is to get as much in an atmosphere of pictures as possible. Always go to the museums when you are traveling, and if you live near enough make occasional picture visits to Boston, Chicago or New York. Do not make the mistake of staying too long in a gallery. You only tire yourself. Half an hour is quite long enough. But do not endeavor to look at every picture in the gallery in that time. Look long at a few good ones and let those you look at be those you like or at least those which you prefer above the others. Also ask yourself w h y you prefer them. Always get :t catalogue. Sometimes the pictures are not marked, and yon as a student want always to know the painter of your picture.-Frederic H Smith in Woman's Home Companion* «. - • - - • ••' ....--.-»•-—..- . , .

The old gentleman had returned to the home of his boyhood for the first time in ten years or more and, as on the last occasions, he had written "and wife" after his name on the hotel register. Of course the keeper of the hotel was glad to see him,and grasped him warmly by the hand, "Ain't grown a day older than when you w a s here last," he said. "No?" said the old gentleman half inquiringly. "Not a day," returned the tavern keeper emphatically. "Your wife seems to have changed more'u you." "Yes?" "Oh, yes. Leastways she does to me. Looks thinner than when you w a s here last." "Indeed?" "Yes. She ain't near so fleshy as she was, accordin to my recollection.

A horseman had an amusing experience near the speedway a few days *gOT He called to an idle newsboy to hold his horse while he made a call on a client. On leaving the house he was surprised to see another boy in charge of the horse. So he asked: "How's this? You are not the boy I left my horse with." "No, sir. I jist spekilated and bought him of the other boy for 10 cents. He said as how y o u were only worth a nickel, and I says you were good for a quarter. See?' . The boy got the quarter and went around the corner, where the first boy was waiting under an open window in the home of the horseman's friend. "That's the way ter work the swells," said the young speculator to his companion. "Ef you had staid, he woulder coughed up a dime. The bluff made him ershamed to hand over less than the two bits.

"Into no department in life," says Yuan Mei, a Chinese authority on cooking, "should indifference be allowed to creep; into none less than into the domain of cookery. Cooks are but mean fellows, and if a day is passed without either rewarding or punishing tbem that day is surely marked by negligence or carelessness on their part If badly cooked food is swallowed In silence, such neglect will speedily become a habit. Still, mere rewards and punishments are of no use. If a dish is good, attention should be called to the why and the wherefore. If bad, an effort should be made to discover the cause of the failure," A R e t l a r y . A retlary was the name of a Roman gladiator armed in a peculiar way.

Among some intensely amusing college scrapes told by "A Graduate" in The Ladies' Home Journal is the story of a certain professor not much liked by his pupils who was to be married. The lady lived in Cleyeland. And the students that loved (?) him were not of course invited. But they determined that in some way he should hear from them. And he did. On the day appointed the professor took the train at 10 a. in,', due to arrive at Cleveland at 12:30 p. m. About 11 o'clock Jim Townsend rushed, to the telegraph office and sent off this dispatch: "Chief of Police, Cleveland: Man coming on train No. 6, tall, well dressed, frock coat, silk hat, side whiskers. Escaped lunatic. Hold. Shrewd, therefore beware. Strange case. Will say name Finalli. Mistake. Thinks he fs professor in a college. Delusion. Escort to home of friends at No. Euclid avenue." This message reached its destination long before train No. G reached Cleveland, so that when Professor Fiimlli alighted it was to walk straight into the custody of three detectives. They would listen to no words of reason. >>'.* t escorted him out to the house on F ^ ' i l a>enne,"the home of his intended L..,: I n ( h o Soliool of 'Work.' Charles A. Dana of the New York Sun was a man of extensive learning and attached great importance to college training, but was quick to recognize the value of the practical education that a man of good pa its may pick up in this workaday world outside of university walls. A young man went to The Sun office one day and asked to see the editor In chief. He would not be rebuffed by the subordinates and after some delay was admitted. He stated bis business without a moment's loss of time. "Mr. Dana." he said, "I believe 1 coqld be of some use on this paper, and I want you to give me a trial. If 3-ou don't find me of any use, you needn't pay me any salary, and if you do I shall want a good salary. If I don't find my proper groove in a month, you can drop me out." Mr. Dana looked him over. "Young man," he said, "I like your looks. Have you ever attended any institution of learning?" "Yes, sir. I am a graduate of two newspaper offices, one a country weekly and the other a daily paper in a city of 100,000 inhabitants." "I'll take you. Go and report to the managing editor."

Just before the Franco-German war a traveling quack iu France4 employed as his clown, after the fashion of the day, a man named Tore, who testified to the excellence of his master's cure for indigestion by swallowing corks and pebbles. After leaving the quack he enlisted and in the presence of Dr. Lorentz tore open a live cat, sucked Its blood and devoured it. He also ate in the fcame y,-ay living snakes, grinding their heads between his teeth. During the war he conveyed secret information for the French army by swallowing a small box with a written paper inside it,- but he was at last detected by the Prussians and punished as a spy. The' welt' known brown pigment callii sepia 1» obtained fro* a ten armed octopus found principally to the Mediterranean and more especially, at the bead of the Adriatic sea, where it is caught,, by the natives for food; The sepia is contained in a bag and la really the black fluid of. which we have all read as being discharged by the creature to cover its-escape. Some natnra^sta say that the fluid Is brows* ish, # c h becomes more credible when we know that this is the source of sepia.; / The pigment is really a powder which dissolves in water; its strength may be estimated by the fact that it will color 1,000 times its own bulk.

The sepia is treated with ammonia or caustic soda, washed and dried. It is one of the most durable of paints, except when fully exposed to the fierce rays of the sun, and an even surface can be obtained with it more easily than with most paints.

"I don't know why it,is bad luck, but my black mammy used to say, 'Chile, don't yo' nebber let 'em try to take dat mole off'n your nose." " 'What'll happen, Aunt Sarah, If I do?' I used to ask her.

But death from evens the moat painful mortal diseases is, usually preceded by a period of cessation from Buffering and partial or complete insensibility resembling falling asleep or the pleasant gradual unconsciousness caused by an ansesthetic. The common phrase "death agony'' is not warranted by what occurs in natural death, which is a complete relief from all pain. When death is owing to heart failure or syncope, it is sudden and painless—perhaps pleasant. Death by hanging, there is reason to believe, is attended by a voluptuous spasm. Death by decapitation or electricity is paly a'momentary shock, hardly felt. Death by porsontag varies in painful ness according to the poison employed. Opium and other narcotics probably give a painless, perhaps a pleasant, dreamful death. Hemlock, as we know from the account of the death of Socrates, causes gradual insensibility from below upward. On the other hand, arsenic, strychnine, carbolic and mineral acids, corrosive sublimate, tartar emetic and other metallic poisons inflict slow and torturing death. Prussic acid and cyanide of potassium cause quick and painful death.—Humanitarian. W i l l i n g t o O b l i g e . The young man was from town and was spending a Sunday in the suburbs. He knew far more about horses and carriages than the local livery salesman, and so his interview with the latter when he sought to hire a "rig" for the afternoon was tinged with a gentle air of patronage on his part.

"Perhaps you have a. spider or a Brewster buggy, or on second thought I might prefer a rubber tired hansom. You can accommodate me?" "Yes; all kinds cheerfully furnished." "Can you give me a lash whip?" "Yes; with a fancy tassel." "Oh, well, what kind of a horse can you turn out—a short tailed one?"

Tsed with discretion, laughter is as inspiring as a sea breeze, as refreshing as an August shower. Its moral effect is beyond computation. It has killed more ridiculous superstitions by its rollicking roars of unbelief than any other agency. What can be more derisive than a laugh? The man who laughs never kills himself. This is the reason so few Irishmen commit suicide.—Literary bra. T o o S n r g i c a l .

Brevity may be the "soul of wit." but the laughable effect is sometimes the very thiug the speaker doesn't mean. In the following case a. word or two more would have made a clearer description, but it would not have been half so funny. The head master of au English girl's high school is describing to the class j the beauty of the Alps, which he has visited during his vacation, and ends h.s lecture in these words: "And there, with one foot I stood on the ice of the glacier, while with the other I was plucking the most beautiful flowers." V . L a u d a n u m Drinking:. It is surprising what oue's constitution can be made to stand in the way of narcotics. From small beginnings it Is possible to go on increasing the doses until a quantity can be taken which would kill two or three persons unaccustomed to anything of the sort. In the course of a coroner's investigation at Sheffield. England, it was shown that a mau had been a constant laudanum drinker for ten years. Commencing with a pennyworth at a time, he had gone on until he had taken fully an ounce a day. P u r e Suarar.

Smallpox in T w o T<j%rne. The second fatal case of smallpox fn Graud Traverse county ended Tuetfdny night when the little daughter of Frank Vinton, of Williamsburg, died. The family has been quarantined three weeks. Vinton got the disease at Mancelona. An Indian family a t Bates has contracted the disease aud one person has died. The public schools at Three Rivers are closed because a case of smallpox happened in the tenth grade of the First ward school. A boy named Clyde Avery, a son of Oliver Avery, has been ill several clays. The schools are temporarily closed, and the lessons given oat through the papers. Other children of the same family are in the first, third anil ninth grades. Much apprehension is felt. Napoleon Pierre Gulch eveau, 113 years old, died recently at Brfteux Bridge, La. Gulcheveau was born in France in 1788 and emigrated to America at the age of 65. After a short residence in New York city b e came t o Louisiana and settled at Breaux Bridge, where he married, and during his phenomenal years of life retained the respect of the community. Up to the hour of his death Guicheveau retained hiB sight, hair and all his faculties. . Wisdom i s not the same as understanding; nor is it talent, or capacity, ability, sagacity, sense, or prudence; neither will all these together make it up. It i s that exercise of the reason into which the heart enters—a structure of the understanding rising out oi the moral and spiritual nature. It la for this cause that a high order of wisdom —tnat is, a nighTIy Intellectual wisdom —is still more rare than a high order of genius. When they reach the very highest order they are one; for each includes the others, and intellectual greatness is matched with moral strength. In n Serious Position. Rosa P. Smith, of Howell, a guest at a Frankfort hotel, gave birth to a child Monday forenoon. The hotel proprietor, upon her non-appearance for breakf.isT^broke into her room and found the Infant in a satchel. Investigation by the coroner's jury showed that it had been born alive and that the child had bled to death. The jury'e verdict held that the woman was responsible for its death. No wan-ant has been issued for her as yet, but she is kept under surveillance. Rosa P. Smith is a prominent-young woman of Howell, a graduate of the high school, active in church circles, and has been In the employ of the Livingston Republican for seveu years. A prominent young man of the village is said to be the father of her child. According to advices from Kiel, Germany, the new high school there for the teaching of shipbuilding and construction of machinery will be opened in 1903. The school will be wholly in the hands of the state, but the cost will only in part be borne by the state, the town of Kiel contributing £3.000. There will be one department for the learning of shipbuilding, each course lasting one year, and another department for machinery, the course of instruction being divided into four quarters of the year, classes being held in the evenings and on Sundays for shipwrights, locksmiths and smiths, The Krupp German!a wharf has al« ready promised as much a s £250 annually for the next ten years towards the expense. SltocklnK FataTITy. Mrs. Andrew J. Gies, of Detroit, was accidentally shot and instantly killed Monday while returning from an outjng "north of the city. She imd been in the woods in Greenfield with her 5-year-old son. her sister, brother-inlaw and a young man. One of the party had been using hio shotgun and. supposed it w a s empty when they Rtarted to return. One cartridge remained, however, and the gun, which was resting in the front sent with the muzzle pointing upwards and towards the rear of the carriage, was in some manner discharged. The charge tore its way through the back of the seat and square Into Mrs. (ties' face, tearing away the flesh in a horrible manner and killing her instantly. Jnatlfiable Homicide. A Jackson jury, in the case of Frank R.. Blery, returned a verdict of not guilty. Biery w a s remarried last spring and, a s it was a second marriage" of both parties, the event occasioned excitement in the quiet village of Minard. On the night following the wedding a crowd of neighbors originated an old-fashioned charivari party, with the usual accompaniments of horseplay and unearthly racket. Biery ordered them to desist, and upon their failure to do so. opened a promiscuous fire with a horse-pistol. Archie Whltehouse, a cbarivarist, was struck and killed by one of the bullets *ired. No attempt was made to disprove the facts of the shooting. In many of the western and midland counties of England t h e nineteenth century closed with the most terrible J o o d s within living memory. Happily few lives were lost, but hundreds ol folk—mostly poor—were washed out oi hearth and home. Farmers, small and great, lost cattle, sheep and poultry, and immense damage was done to all kinds of property. One comic incident was remarked at Alcester in Worcestershire. When the water fell the rector took his walks abroad t o see what loss b e had suffered. As h e passed through a n orchard h e was greeted with t h e piercing squeals of a perplexed pig, which had got mixed up In the boughs of a damson tree. Probably it had been borne into the branches by the rising flood. When the waters went down it was left high, and possibly dry, but terrified out of its wits. Less than one hundred dollars, spent by the Improvement League of Montclair, New Jersey, has done more t o cleanse and beautify the place, gays the town council, than the thousands of dollars the town has expended in conventional ways. The league began by offering prizes for clean and orderly back yards and alleys, and wen* on t o give prizes for the best vine-covered fence, the finest vegetable plot and the most beautiful flowering plant. Then it organized the children to pick up waste paper from the streets, keep the school yards neat, and "tidy up'r the vacant lots. In six months Montclalr became a noticeably attractive place, and a wholesome one, too, for the death rate had perceptibly lessened. Like methods will yield similar results In any other town, and i t will not be necessary t o spend much money provided a few people are willing to use ''inspired common sense." Cat off a Rich Plum. The overruling l>> the Supreme Court of Judge Wolcott's decision, giving county treasurers the right to loan the county's money as their own funds, will deprive Kent county's treasurer of about $18,000 extra salnrv. there being in the neighborhood of $9,000 interest each year retained by the treasurer. Former treasurers have returned this money, and last fall, when County Treasurer Proctor w a s criticised by the newspapers for retaining his interest money, he became very sensitive and committed suicide under the impression that he was being accused of a grave charge. Valuable Hor»e« Killed. A peculiar and serioiw accident occurred on the Pere Marquette Railroad at Plymouth Friday morning. A freight train was backing to the siding just west of the station, when one of the ears suddenly tipped over. The ear contained a lot of valuable race horses and a pnrty consisting of two women, two girls and eight men and boys. The women and girls escaped without injury, but the men and boys received severe cuts and bruises. The horses did not fare so well. T w o of them are dead, two ofhers cannot live, and the remainder are twidly cut up. One of the horses killed is said to have been worth $10,000.

T h e other two men, however, managed t o get him on board a handcar, and while one of them kept up a fusillade on their pursuers, the other worked the lever, and In a little time they had got out of range. The burglars reached Richmond, t o which place notice had been sent by phone. When t h e handcar came along It w a s fired at by Sheriff Batty and Marshal Fenton, the two unhurt burglars escaping by running ncrow* the fields.

J l u anticipation of the arrival of the murderer at Auburn, a crowd numbering nearly 1,500 people surrounded the prison Thursday n i g h t At the time of the prisoner's arrival, however, shortly before 3 o'clock, only about 300 men and boys remained. Pale and trembling, Czolgosa w a s dragged from t h e train by- the brawny guards. He was handcuffed between two deputies. Twenty local policemen attempted to keep back the crowd which surged about the assassin, clamoring for his life. The onslaught was s o sudden *thut the police scarcely had time to draw their clubs and revolvers. The prison gates swung open and the assassin was pushed! through, but not before some of the crowd bad rained blows on the officers and their prisoner. The distance between the gate and prison steps was quickly covered. Aa the assassin reached the steps his legs gave way, aud, moaning and shrieking. he was drugged Into t h e office aud placed upon a settee, the most miserable wretch In the world. Scant ceremony was accorded him. The handcuffs were quickly removed and he w a s dragged into Warden rf Mead's office. H e was in a state of absolute collapse.

On his w a y from Buffalo to Auburn, Caolgosz is said to have expressed regrot for his deed. He still maintained, however, that he was alone .In the plot To B e Electrocuted Oct. 28. Leon F. Czolgosz was brought Into court Thursday afternoon for sentence. In answering the formal questions the assassin stated that h e was ..born in Detroit. His replies were s o low that they were scarcely audible. "Have you any legal excuse why sentence should not be pronounced against you?" Czolgosz could not or pretended he could not hear the question put by the clerk. It was repeated to him twice, and then he said something in an inaudible tone. The judge Intervened and explained what was meant by the question. • "First, you may claim you are insane. The next is have you good cause to offer against sentence being pronounced against you?" The judge also stated legal reasons the prisoner might have against sen-v tence being pronounced. "I have nothing to say about that,*' was the reply. Justice Titus then asked that the prisoner be allowed to say something In exculpation of his crime. The prisoner began to speak. H i s ,voice was so low that he could scarcely be heard. Judge Titus w a s obliged to repeat it sentence by sentence, so that the court might hear. "I have nothing to say,'* whispered Czolgosz.

"And," added Ezabel, "if you eould know him better you would nnd your impressions strengthened. But-he will not be here long. As soon as he recovers from his wound he will leave us,»* "If I am not mistaken," ventured our heroine, "Julian is at home in this place." "Most certainly he is, my daughter. From his earliest childhood he knew no other home but this." "And he was on bis way hither when he overtook me in the hands of the Arabs " "Yes." "And will my presence cause him to leave you?*' "I think not, lady. But you will give yourself no uneasiness on that account If Julian feels that he had better be away from you, be will go for his- own sake. And, remember—the truly noble soul finds joy in the generous sacrifices which it may be called upon to make. I hear Ben Hadad's voice. He is calling me." She arose and left the chamber; and when she returned sne was followed by Ben Hadad. Now that Ulin saw the hermit by the light of the day she was awe-struck by his venerable appearance. All that could be noble and honorable and lovable in old age xed in him; and as he and t!ft white brow offered a strange contract to the waving mases of golden hair. The maiden's smile faded away when she met the earnest gas* that was fixed upon her, and her hand trebled before she withdrew i t He spoke to her a few words of cheer, expressed his gratitude' that she. had found a place- of safety; and hoped that the future might have no more clouds for her. , bent bis gaze upon her and extended his hand in welcome, she felt her heart go to him with all its trust and confidence. "My child,'" he said in tones of tenderest solicitude, "Ezabel has told me your story and I have come to bid you an affectionate welcome to my cave. Rest here- and feel that you are at home. Your mother paid me for this long ago. Come—follow me to where the air is fresher, and where the sunbeams can greet you." The maiden thanked Ben Hadad as well as Bhe was able and then rose to follow him. He led her to the main cave, where she found Hobaddan and the slaves. "This is my home," said the old man, as he led the maiden to a seat; "and here have I lived more years than go to fill up the allotted age of man. All these trees and shrubs I have trained up from the tender sprout, and these vines I have taught to clothe the gray old recks. And I.have been most fortunate in my life. I have been able to protect many who needed protection and my days have been lengthened out to protect more." Ulin was touched by the deep pathos of the hermit's words, and for a whole hour she sat and listened to his conversation. At the end of that time he led her back to the cave where Ortok, the black slave, had prepared dinner. -She did not feel hungry, but she sat down with Ben Hadad and Hobadden and Ezabel—she and Albla—and partook with them. Thus passed three days; and Ulin had become so used to the place that it already seemed like home. She had learned to love the hermit; and she had learned to love Ezabel; and she had learned to respect and esteem the stout-hearted Hobaddan and to converse with him freely. Once she asked the lieutenant what had become of Julian's band. Would they not be seeking him? And he explained to her that he had communicated with them—that they knew of their chieftain's safety and had gone away into the mountains of Lebanon, where comfortable abiding places for them were plenty. When UHn retired to her own apartment she sat by herself, with her head bowed upon her hands, taking no notice of her serving-maid. At an early hour she retired; but it was a long time ere she slept; and when she did sleep she was troubled with strange dreams. She dreamed of the unfortunate Helena, and awoke with a cry of pain. And then she dreamed a more pleasant dream—a dream of something that had haunted her waking thoughts —a dream of the Scourge and Damascus. "Or my mistress," cried Albla, when she and Ulin were alone, "how noble a man he is!" "Who?" asked the princess, Btarting out from a deep reverie. "Julian^ I mean," returned the maid, quickly and with enthusiasm. "Does he not look handsomer than ever?" Ulin bowed her head and made no reply. "Is he -not beautiful to gaze upon?" pursued Albia, without seeming to notice her lady's abstracted mood. "Hush, Albia, say no more now. I am busy with my own thoughts." "Pardon, sweet mistress. I meant no wrong. I thought—we owed him so much—and he has suffered in our behalf—that you might—" "Albla, say no more. I know you meant well. You mistake me if you think I am not grateful. There—say no more. I love you, and would not hurt your feelings. Go out into the grove and walk awhile." Ulin bowed her head again as she spoke, with her,hand upon her brow— upon her brow for a moment—and then pressed upon her bosonf. And thuB Albia left her. When the freed girl reached -the grove in front of the cave she found Julian and Osmir in close conversation and before they noticed her she had heard enough to excite her curiosity; and with a freedom that was natural to her, she asked them what had happened. "Osmir thinks," said Julian, with a smile, "that one of the Arab robbers has followed us and tracked us to this place; but I laugh at him." "I may be mistaken," rejoined the other,**"but still I think I am right. I have seen the fellow twice; once by *, At noon Julian did not appear whet the resT'iW'thefir ttftttffr.

"Yes; so he told me only an hour since," , "When will he go?'' "Early jra the morning:" "But he will shortly return?" "I fear not. I asked him that and he only shook his head." "Does he give any reason for his going away?" "None that you need to knew, my child. In fact, he gives me no reason directly. I am left to draw my conclusions from accidental remarks." 9 iMTTgiiiSi CHAPTER XVni. Something More Than a Dream. On the following morning, when Ulin entered the main cave, Julian was there to greet her. She extended her hand to him and smiled as she spoke. The youthful chieftain waa somewhat pale, hut his large, lustrous exes burned with a deeped intensity the river atthe entrance of the wood, and once further away. It was one of the rascals wao escaped us." "And if it is the Arab, what can he want?" asked Albia. "If it be one of those fellowa," returned Julian, "he may wish to join our ranks." "Oh," added Osmir, "he may hope to steal something." "Very likely," assented the chieftain. "However," he concluded, after a brief pause, "we may as well keep a sharp lookout." "Sellm and I are on the watch," said Osmir; "and if we catch the rascal, we'll secure him." Albia fancied that Julian had t h o u g h t s Which >>*> waa nnt w i l l i n g to expresa in her presence, but she did not mean to fret herself; and before she rejoined her mistress she had almost forgotten the circumstances. At noon, and again in the evening, did Ulin meet Julian; but they did not converse freely together. She could not meet the gaze of those lustrous eyes without tremb.ing, and she sought to avoid that which so much moved her. If he had approached her and spoken freely with her on some subject of general interest she would have joined him rendily; but he did not do so. Morning came again, and again the maiden met the man who had saved her from the Arabs. This time he greeted her in few words, and soon turned away to speak with Hobaddan. He did not seem well. He looked paler than on the day before, and there was an expression of pain about the mouth and eyes. Ulin was unoasy. Perhaps his wound was giving him new trouble. \As soon as the morulng's meal had been eaten, she nought Ezabel and asked her If Julian w:is suffering from his wound. "No," replied the old woman. "I do not think it is his wound. I bave noticed his appearance and have asked him what it meant; but he puts me off with a smile and a blessing and tries to assure me that all is well I do not like to see him suffer. He is like a child to me and I love him tenderly. Ah, the world -^httle knows what a noole, generous soul dwells within that manly form." "If I thought he was suffering from my account" said Ulin, VI should be most unhappy." , "How on your account?" said Ezabel. quickly. "I mean in consequence of the wound he received while flghtns; for my deliverance." "I hardly thtnk it is that. Something beside the wound troubles him. It may be that the short captivity in Damascus worries him. He may have heard something there that gives him unpleasant thought" When Ulin retired to her chamber she was in a frame of mind not easily analyzed. She spoke to Albia concerning the chieftain'8 unexpected departure and the girl expressed the opinion that he felt himself to be ia the way. "What do you mean by that?" asked Ulin. "Well," replied Albia, "I think Julian feels that there are enough dwellers in the hermit's cave without him. I may be mistaken; but his manner, for a day or two past, has seemed to indicate that he was not perfectly at ease here," The princess asked no more questions, but busied herself with her own thoughts. As the sun was sinking from its daily course, Ulin wandered out into the grove alone, and as she approached the spot where she sometimes sat with the hermit, she saw Julian, seated upon a bench beneath an orange tree. At first she thought of turning back, and retracing her steps; but an impulse which was no result of her will, hut rather an instinctive emotion, as \ though some secret force, led her on; and almost before she was aware of it she came so near that the youth heard her stop and looked up. He started when he saw her and a flash of joy, like a quick passage of sunlight, wa3 upon his face. In a moment, however, the look Was gone, and a shade of sadness succeeded. The maiden could not now have withdrawn even had she been so disposed in the first place. Following the strong impulse, Bhe aavanced to the shadow of the orange tree and'placed her hand upon Julian's shoulder; and it thrilled the youth like an electric shock. lAne*%n>» CmmUt 09«a**V Despite the protest ef^hteonJy Ilvinfl[ cWJd, Jthe cottteet of Abraham Ltoeoln was opened Thursday in the presence of a small assemblage* headed by state officers in their capacity of trustees, and was then reseated and eonsigned to what ta.intended to be its last resting place in a bed of iron and mortar below the shaft of the Springfield, 111., national monument Fourteen years ago, the last previous time when the body was exposed to mortal gasse, the face of the first martyred president was black. It was white Thursday. ^Tlie transformation was so unexpected and the fumes so overpowering that the casket was quickly shut. All of those present, sixteen in number, were pledged to secrecy, but it is known that the proposition to open the casket was vigorously opposed by several, and now the act is denounced as sacrilegious and due only to a de* sire to satisfy morbid curiosity. Col. Robert T. Lincoln was not present, or his protest would probably have been respected. C o l o m b i a W i n * F l r « t R a c e . In the closest and most soul stirring race ever sailed for the old America's cup, the white flyer Columbia beat the British challenger over a windward and leeward course of 30 nautical miles by the narrow margin of 39 seconds. As Lipton's latest aspirant for cup honors must allow the defend- Rr 43 seconds on account of the extra 833 square feet of canvas in her sail mca, the official record, under the rules, gives her the victory by 1 minute and 22 seconds. As a spectacle the contest was superb. From the time the two sky-scraping racers croFtf- *»d the starting line until they fled across the finish line four and a half hours later the result was in doubt, and the excitement aboard the excuraion fleet increased until the men became frenzied and women almost hysterical. ^T" The miners' strike t t -Madlsonvili% Ky., ha* beeoiae.scriom etat* troop* are ordered out, and bloodshed may re/- suit The union camp) Is situated in sight of the mines and from territory / adjoining this camp there baa been directed a desultory, but harassing rffl* Are at the deputies guarding the Beinecke property Almost daily.

"Kind sir," she said, scarcely able to speak above a whisper wlien she commenced, "Ezabel tells me you are going away." "Yes, lady," Julian replied, rising as he spoke; "I have so determined." "And you go soon?" "In the morning." "This is sudden, sir." "No, lady; no more so than my movements are apt to be." CHAPTER XIX. Ulin and Julian. Ulin hesitated and trembled, and finally sat down upon the bench from which the chieftain had arisen. In a few moments she had recovered herself so that she could speak without faltering. "Good sir, I have one question to ask you." She went on hurriedly, as though the old impulse still led her; "You had not planned to leave the cave so soon?" "I had planned nothing about it, iady." "But—if I had not been here, with my servant, you would have remained longer?" "Lady, do not ask me such questions." "I must ask them, sir, for I want to know. If I thought that my presence here had caused you to leave your old home, I should be most unhappy. When I came here I did not know how near and dear this place was to you. If one of us must go, let me find some other resting place." Julian started and trembled like an aspen. A moment it was so, and then he turned upon the maiden a look so earnest and so deep and so full of tumultuous feeling, that she shook beneath i t "Lady," he said, speaking almost in a whisper, "you shall know the secret which I had purposed never to reveal to mortal being. The words are forced from me. Let me speak them now; and then let them be forgotten. When I heard that the king of Damascus had shut up a fair maiden within the Palace of Lycanlus, and that he meant to make that maiden his wife, I felt my heart grow sick within me and I resolved, if the fair one was held against her will, that I would set her -free. I led my brave men to the palace and overcame the guard which the king had set Heaven was opened, but in the blessed realm I was offered no abiding place.

The law to prevent the docking of horses, which went into efiect Jaly 7, requires owners or users of docktd horses to register snch horses with county clerks after the fifth of October under penalty of not less than $50 nor more than $250, or imprisonment sight but bow many people fcavft noticed that In doing this horses observe an Invariable rule! ' , The rule ts that be always roUe over either at the first or third attemptnever at the «econd—and more than three attempts are never made. In other words, If tbe horse succeeds in rolling over at the first try, well and good—that satisfies him; but If tbe first attempt Is a failure, the second one always Is. Then he either rolls -quite over at the third or gives It up. 'He never makes a fourth. If horses are rolling on sloping ground, tbey usually roll up hill. This Is more easy of explanation tban tbe strange custom regulating ~tEe number tempts. As to this no adequate reason has ever been offered.

The monthly blotter issued from the DISPATCH offine are becoming well known, we havinar bad calls the past week for samples from several printers id the United States ranging from a few miles to Texas. We are also receiving returns from our constant advertising in securing jobs from out of town cutomers without other solicitation than the "blotter." Tbe Legal Information Quarterly for October published by W. H. S. Wood of Howell, contains the speech made by Mr. Wood before the state board of equalization. It is well worth the money 15c for the copy. Every farmer ought to take this legal information as it will keep them informed on all law points. Yearly subscription 50 cent?. Tbe speech of W. H. S. Wood be fore the state board of equalization had the effect of changing our stats taxes three-tenths per cent. This county has formerly been paying one and three-tenths per cent of the entire state taxes and now we only pay one per cent. This is certainly a victory for Mr. Wood and the county. A business men1? association has been formed here in Howell and several meetings been held. It is decided as a first proposition to do something to benefit the roads leading into Howell. Money will be needed and forthcoming and a grand co-operative effort made to secure good results. W, H. 8. Wood was out on the Marion town line yesterday and found all the farmers enthusiastic to aid, and there is a prospect of a grand three days, bee in the near future. Other roads will receive attention later.—Democrat A northern Michigan farmer unwittingly struck an idea this year which may revolutionize fruit growing in tbe future. He piled well packed snow over tbe roots of his trees to preserve tbe trunks from tbe damge inflicted by rabbits. The snow remained over the trees long after the ground was bare. The compress retarded the growth until after the frost. Hs will have about 400 bushel of apples, while bis neighbors report a virtual fnlkire. The scheme will "Hand to Mouth" Liver*. One of the paradoxes of waste Is that the persons most addicted to it are not men and women of independent means who can support themselves In spite of their extravagant expenditure, but tbe poorer classes. There is hardly an ablebodied laborer who might not become financially Independent If he would but carefully husband his receipts and guard against the little leaks of needless expense. But unfortunately this is the one thing which tbe workingman finds it the hardest to do. There are a hundred laborers who are willing to work hard to every half dozen who are willing properly to husband their earnings. Instead of hoarding a small percentage of their, receipts so as to provide against sickness or want of employment they eat and drink up their earnings as they go, and thus In the first financial crash, when mills and factories, "shut down" and capitalists lock up their cash instead of using it In great enterprises, they are ruined. Men who thus live "from hand to mouth." never keeping more than a day's march ahead of actual want, are little better off than slaves.—Success. Why the Boy W u Sure. A certain officious bead nurse in the accident ward of, a local hospital re- -eeived aa-uaexpeeted -call down'- recently. An unfortunate young man of the age of 10 had been practicing "with a cartridge pistol several sizes too large for him, and the result was unpleasant. The doctors and nurses had cleansed and dressed the wound, and be was resting easily. Then the nurse, who had not been present and who bated to miss a trick, walked over to the* little boy's bed, around which the attendants were still standing, and asked him solicitously: "Are you sure that the bullet Isn't sticking there still?" "Sure." s "What makes you think so?" "It was a blank cartridge." There was a sharp decline in that nurse's stock of pride, and tbe laughter failed of unanimity,by one dissenting voice.—New York Commercial Advertiser. Our Daughters. The household blessed with noble daughters ought to be a happy one. Ruskin says that most parents forget, however, to Imbue them with a love of nature which is so invigorating and healthful. "Give them," says he, "not only not>Ie teachings, but noble teachers, and give them the help which alone has sometimes done more than all other influences— the help of wild and fair nature.

The Ioquat, or Japan plum, sometimes erroneously called "medlar/* belongs to the family rosacte. Its botanical name is Eriobotrya japonlca. The Cyclopedia of American Horticulture says of it: "The Ioquat Is native to China and'Japan, but is much planted in the gulf states and westward. It blooms from August until the approach of winter and ripens its clustered fruit in very early spring. It is a profuse bearer in congenial ollmates. It may be grown from seed.

"The cry- *el cannot equal i t - Many of the nreeJeoa stoaes of the Bible have come to BruasBt recognition. But for the press** I take up the leas valuable crystal.

The crystal 4a the star of the mowatata; it is the queen of the cave; it ia the eardrop of the hills; it finds its heaves ia the diamond. Among all the pages* of natural history there ia ao page more interesting to me than the pass crystallography. But I waat to show you • that Job was right when, taking religion in one hand and the crystal in -the others, he declared that the former is of far more value aad beauty than the latter, receaameadteg It to all people and to all the acta* declaring "The crystal cannot equal ft** God's I m m t e M * Earn*.

That shapelesa flaass of crystal against which you accidentally dashed your foot ia laid oat with more exactness than any earthly city There are s x styles of crystal 1 nation and all of them divinely ordained. Bverv crystal haa laatheaaatteal precision. God'sgeometryreaches tnrougb It and it is a square, or U is a rectangle, or it is a rhomboid, or in some way it has a mathematical figure. Now, religion beats that in the simple fact that spiritual accuracy ia more baautiful than material accuracy. God's attributes are exact God's Iaw3 exact, •God's decrees exact, God's management •of the world exact. Never counting wrong, though he counts the grass blades and the stars aad the sands and the cycles. His providenc«3 never dealing with us perpendicularly when those provinces aught to he oblique, nor laterally when they onght to be vertical. Everything ia oar life arranged without any posBftHtty of mistake. Each'life a six-hearted prism. Bern at the right time; dying at the xfgfct time. There are n» "happen ao's" in our theology. If I thought this was a slipshod narrfrae; I would tie in despair. God is not an anarchist. Law, order, symmetry, precision, a perfect square, a perfect rectangle, a perfect rhomboid, a perfect circle. The edge of God's robe of government never frays out There are no loose screws in the world's machinery. It did not just happen that Napoleon was attacked with indigeation at Borodino ao that he became incompetent for the day. It did not Just happen that John Thomas, the missionary, ox a heathen island, waiting for an outfit and orders for another missionary tear, received that outfit and those orde.a in a box that floated ashore, while the ship and .the crew that carried the box were 'never heard of. I believe In a particular providence. I betters God's geometry may be seen la att onr lite more beautifully than In- crystallography. Job was. right "The crystal cannot equal it."

Now yon find God is not trying to put you down. Now you understand why you . lost that child and why you lost yaw property. It waa to piepare you for eternal treasures. • And why sicUam came, it being the precursor of immortal juvenescence. And now you understand why they lied about you and tried to drive you hither and thither. It was to put you in the glorious company of such a man as Igiatius, who, when he went out to be destroyed by the lions, said, "I am the wheat, and the teeth of the wild beasts must first grind me before I can becoxnd pure bread for Jesus Chr s:." Or the company of such m^n as "that ancient Christian martyr" who, when standing in the midst of the amphitheater waiting for the lions to come out of their cave and destroy him and the people la the gallerisa jeiring and shouting, "The liont!" replied, ' ^st them come on!" and then, stooping down toward the cave, "where the wild* basts ware roaring to get out, again cried, "Let them come on!" Ah, yes, it is persecution to put you ;n glorious company, and while there are many things' you will have to postpone to the future world for explanation I tell you that it Is the whole tendency of your religion to unravel and explain and Interpret and Illuminated and Iradiate. Job was right It is a gorious trasparency. "Tho crystal cannot equal it." ,\ !"

These souls are ajl crystaUlaationa of present him as having love like a great protuberance on one side of his nature, but makes that love in harmony with his justice—a love that will accept all those who come to him, and a justice that will by no means clear the guilty. Beautiful religion in the sentiment it Implants! Beautiful religion In the hope it kindles! Beautiful religion in thp fact that it proposes to garland and entnrone and emparadise an immortal spirit. Solomon says it is a lily. Paul says it i3 a crown. The Apocalypse says it is a fountain kissed by the sun. Ezekiel says it is a follaged cedar. Christ says it is a bridegroom come to fetch home a bride. While Job in the text takes up a whole vase of precious stones—the topax and the sapphire and the chrysoprasus— he holds o\*t of this beautiful vase Just one crystal and holds it up until it gleams in tho warm light of the eastern sky, and he exclaims, "The crystal cannot equal it." Oh, it is not a stale religion; it is not a stupid religion; it is not a toothless hag. as some seem to have represented it; it is not a Meg Merrilies with shriveled arm come to scare the world; it is the fairest daughter of God, heiress of all his wealth; her cheek tne morning sky. her voice the music of the south wind, her step the dance of the sea. Come and woo her. The Spirit and the Bride say come, and whosoever will, let him come. Do you agree with Solomon and say it is, a lily? Then pluck it and wear it over your heart. Do you agree with Paul and say it is a crown? Then let this hour be your coronation. Do you agree with the Apocalypse and say it is a springing fountain? Then come and slake the thirst of your soul. Do you believe with Ezekiel and say it is a follaged cedar? Then come under its shadow. Do you believe with Christ and _say it is a bridegroom come to fetch homo a bride? Then strike hands with your Lord and King while I pronounce you everlastingly one. Or if you think with Job that it 1B a jewel, then put it on vour hand like a ring, on your neck like a bead, on your forehead like a star, while looking into the mirror of God's word you acknowledge, "The crystal cannot equal it." 8npotior to Crystal. Again, religion is supuerior to the crystal in its transformations. The diamond is only a crystallization. Carbonate of lime rises till it becomes calcite or aragonite. Red oxide of copper crystallizes into cubes and octahedrons. Those crystals which adorn our persons and our homes and our museums have only been resurrected from forms that were far from lustrous. Scientists for ages have been examining these wondenul transformations. But I tell you in the gospel of tho Son of God there is a more wonderful transformation. Over souls by reason of Fin black as coal and hard as iron God, by his comforting grace, stoops and says, ".They shall he mine in the day when I make up my jewels.*' . ^ "What!" say you. "Will God wear wT . woo i*e tsan—hh si*, bis JQP4, h i ^ Jewelry?"

"They shall be mine/* saith the Lord, ^m the day when I make up m/ jewels," Wonderful transformatiba! •! Where" lih abounded grace shall much more Abound. The carbon becomes the solitaire, "The crystal cannot equal' tt." Now, I have no lHting for those people who are always enlarging in Christian meetings about their early disiipatioiL Do not go into the particulars, my brothers. Simply say you were sick, but make no display of your ulcers. The chief stock In trade of some ministers and Christian workera seem to be their early crimes and dissipations. The number of pockets you picked and the number of chickens you stole make very poor prayer meeting rhetoric. Besides that, it discourages other Christian people who never got drunk or stole anything. But it is pleasant to know that those who were farthest down have been brought highest up. Out of infernal serfdom' into eternal liberty. Out of darkness into light From coal to the solitaire. "The crystal cannot equal i^" Power of the Gospel* But my friends, the chief transforming power of the gospel will not be seen in this world, and not until heaven breaks upon the soul. When that light falls upon the soul, then you will see the crystals. What a magnificent setting for these jewels of eternity! I sometimes hear people representing heaven in a way that is far from attractive to me. It seems almost a vulgar heaven as they represent it, with great blotches of color and bands of music making a deafening racket.

In another place he says, "I saw a pure river from under the throne, clear as crystal." In another place he says, "Before the throne there was a sea of glass clear as crystal." Three crystals! John says crystal atmosphere. That means health. Balm of the eternal June. What weather after the world's east wind! No rack of stormclouds. One breath of that air will cure the worst tubercle. Crystal light on all the leaves, crystal light shimmering on the topaz of the temples. Crystal light tossing in the plumes of the equestriaus of heaven on white horses. But "the crystal cannot equal it." John says crystal river. That means joy. Deep and ever rolling. Not one drop of the Potomac or the Hudson or the Rhine to soil It. No one tear of human sorrow to imbitter it. Crystal, the rain out of which it was made. Crystal, the bed over which it shall roll and ripple. Crystal, its infinite surface. But "the crystal cannot equal it." John oayo crystal sea. That means multitudinousiy vast. Vast in rapture. Rapture vast as the sea, deep as the sea, strong as the sea, ever changing as the sea. Billows of light Billows of beauty, blue with skies that were never clouded and green with depths that were never fathomed. Arctics and Antarctica and Mediterraneans and Aftantics . and Pacifies in crystalline magnificence. Three crystals! Crystal light falling on a crystal river. Crystal river rolling into a crystal sea. But "the crystal cannot equal it." Open the Door to ChrUt. "Oh," says some one, "it is just the doctrine I want. God is to do everything, and I am to do nothing." My brother, it is not the doctrine you want. The coal makes no resistance. It hears the resurrection voice in the mountain and it comes to crystallization; but your heart resists. The trouble with you, my brother, is the coal wants to stay coal. I do not ask you to throw open the door and let Christ in. I only ask that you stop bolting it and barring it. My friends, we will have to get rid of our sins. I will have to get rid of my sins, and you win have to get rid of your sins. What will we do with our sins among the three crystals? The crystal atmosphere would display our pollution. The crystal river would be befouled with our touch. Transformation must take place now or no transformation at all. Give sin full chance in your heart and the transformation will be downward.instead of upward. Instead of crystal it will be a cinder. What Secretary Boot Said. "Senator, you seem to forget thai war itself is a hard, a dreadful thing; yet our old men clamor for it and our young men rush into it as if it were a holiday amusement The executive does not declare war. Whn our wise men and popular leaders in the Congress of the Halted States plunge us into It, do they pause to think, of the age4 mothers and their tears and their breaking hearts?"—Bottoa Evening Transcript these are modest when compared' to £25.942,000 for interest and manage* the Emperor of China, wuo styles' him- ment.. By tho year. ^ 0 the capital scf "Son of Heaven." The Emperor had,been reduced to aT83$,O0O,G&O and of Japan has a most curious title, bo- the corresponding /annual charge to ins styled the Mikado, or "Honorable Gate/' Thebaw of Bur man, the wicked old fehow~ who was overthrown by the British, used modestly to call himself "His Most Glorious, Excellent Majesty; Lord of the Ishaddan; King of Elephants; Master of Many White Elephants; Lord of the Mines of Gold, Silver, Rubies, Amber and the Noble Serpentine; * Sovereign of the Empire of Thunaparantha and Tampadipa and other Great Empires and Countries, and of the Umbrella Wearing Chiefs; Arbiter of Life, the Great Righteousness, the Sun-Descended Monarch, King of Kings, and Possessor Of Boundless Dominions and Supreme Wisdom." For obvious reasons the modest Thebaw had no visiting cards. The Amir of Afghanistan calls himself "The Light of Union and Religion." The Emperor of Austria is "His Apostolic Majesty"; the King of Spain, "Hi* Most Catholic Majesty," and the Bourbon kings of France were "Most Christian Majesties"—at least in title, thtough they were sometimes quite the other way in reality. But King Edit comes to religious titles, for is not that pious man "Defender of the Faith"? The King of Portugal is also possessed of a religious title, being "His Very Faithful Majesty." King Oscar of Sweden calls himself "King of the Goths and the Wends," and the German "War Lord" calls himself "Duke of the Wends." The King of Denmark, like his royal cousin of Sweden, calls himself "King of the Goths and the Wends." This i3 very confusing to an amateur in the king business and their majesties of Denmark and Sweden ought to toes up to see who keeps the title. It must make the Sultan of Turkey smile to see how many monarchs, reigning and dethroned, pall themselves "King of Jerusalem." This title is borne by the King of Spain and the Emperor of Austria, by the Bourbon claimant of the throne of "Naples and the two Sicilies," as well as by Don Carlos, the claimant of the Spanish throne. The Sultan calls himself "Servant of Jerusalem," which is more modest, and as he has the city the other fellows can quarrel over who IS "king" thereof. The King of Portugal has a set of titles for "private circulation," as it were, in which he especially delights, calling himself, when he feels particularly "cocky," "King of the African Sea, Lord of Guinea and of the navigation and commerce ot Ethopia, Arabia, Persia and India." Little King Alphonso of Spain, not to be outdone by his neighbor, calls himself "King of the East and West Indies, of India and the Ocean Continents." The President of the United States came very near having a title. When they were fixing up the Constitution it waB proposed to insert the clause, "The President shall be called His Excellency." Benjamin Franklin offered an. amendment which read, "And the Vice President shall be called His Most Superfluous Highness." Jn the latter which followed the title clause was lost. PlS In Trees Branch**. In many of the western and midland counties of England the nineteenth century closed with the most terrible floods within living memory. Happily few lives were lost but hundreds of folk—mostly poor—were washed out of hearth and home. Fanners, small and great lost cattle, sheep and poultry, and immense damage was done to all kinds of property. One comic Incident was remarked at Alcester, ia Worcestershire. When the water fell the rector took his walks abroad to see what loss he had suffered. As he passed through an orchard he was greeted with the piercing squeals of a perplexed pig, which had got mixed up in the boughs of a damson tree. Probably it had been borne into the branches by the rising flood. When the waters went down It waa left high, and possibly dry, but terrified out of its wlta.

Her «yea were streaming with tears and Jb-er bosonv heaved convulsively. ''JtallAo!—O, in this hour of helplessness and.need {turn to thee with ail my trust and faith. If the love of this poor heart is worth the cherishing, take, it, and keep it always. I have no power—I have no choice. .The light of thy face, beaming in lore upon me, repeals to me that I am bound to thee by chains. which I cannot break." ^ha rested her head upon his bosom; and no, winding his stout arms about her, pressed her to hia heart as a treasure the most precious that earth could bestow. The son sank to its evening rest, and the shades of twilight deepened brer the' fiver and over the grove. The stars came out, one by one, in their celestial stations, and anon the silver moon, lifting its face above the hills of Hobah, cast its soft light into the valeT 8till the lovers sat beneath the orange tree; and there they might have sat late into the night, had not Osmir come to interrupt them. What'did the guard want at that hour and In that place. He sought his master. "Julian arose and went to him *nd they whispered hurriedly together; and then Ulin was sure that she heard the Arabs mentioned. ' "Ulin," said the chieftain, coming back and faking her hand, "you might gaudth_JOft_to_^e cave. I am called in another direction.*' "What, is it? Yon tremble. Ah, Julian—there is danger." "No, no, sweet love; harbor not that fear. I go to ward off danger. 0, I have something more than life to care for now." At this point Selim came running up, all oat of breath; 'but~betOT8 ~he could «$eak his master stopped him. "I understand, good 3elim. Osmir has told me—" "But—my master—" "1M a , moment. Wait till I come back." And thus speaking Julian led the maiden to the cave. "Excuse me now," he said, raising her hand to his lips. "I will be back shortly. You will not fear?" «? CHAPTER XX. A Ktng's Story. The first person whom Ulin met after entering the cave was Ezabel, who stood by a table upon which a lamp was burning. "My dear child, I was just coming in search of you. We were anxious. What—have you. been in tears? Ulin, what is it? What has happened?" The maiden, in memory of the great event of the evening, forgot the cause of fear that had been with her. It was a secret she could not keep—a secret she had no wish to keep; and resting her head upon Bsabel's shoulder, she told tae story of her love. "Dearest Ulin," said the aged matron, kissing the maiden upon the brow, "he is worthy of the trust you have reposed in him!" At that moment Albla come in from the grove wnere she had been in search of her mistress; and very soon see, too, had heard the story. She gased into Ulln's face a moment, and then, with a tear glistening in her eye, she murmured: "I shall be very happy now, for henceforth I can serve and love you both!" As Albla spoke, and before any reply could be made, Julian came hurrying Into the cave. He was much excited and Ben Hadad saw a fear upon his lace such as had never been seen there before; ' "My son," spoke the hermit, "what means this? Your manner betokens danger." "And there is danger," cried the young chieftain, moving instinctively to Uhn's side. "I fear that I have been much to blame. I should have been warned by the words of Osmir and Bellm. Those two Arabs have evidently discovered onr.abjdjnt. place." "Well—end what then?- asaed Ben H a d a d , • • «'«•>> ^ >'•--" "I think tuey have brought a large force against us." "What—pf Arabs? Do they meanto rob us?" "Perhaps," suggested Abia, Mthey hope t* recapture* what* Uhry; *ave l o s t , - , • *• > . / S 7 Ulin moved to Julian's side, and leaned upon hit stoat arm. He kissed her upon the brow and bade Her be of good eomrags; aad then he said to the others, in anawtr to what had been rvfti J . V J T mt ft tfos Arabs are coming, as I **>prebend, there may be soother S9|»r tioti to the nrbbleSJ Thosalwo rascals who escaped, us could easily bave followed us to tnls ptace. Wtf were not looking for such a thing, and so da not guard against, i t They knew that the maiden who bad been snatched from them was the daughter of the king's prime minister; and may they not have known that she was the king's affianced? At all events, It is not unreasonable to suppose that they may have anticipated some gain of reward by carrying intelligence to Aboul Cassem. if they have done this, then they must also have revealed the whereabout of the Scourge of Damascus." A low cry of pain from Ulin told how directly the fear had touched her; and again her lover sought to calm her. "We must leave this place," he said, "and seek shelter in the wood. You and I and Albia will go, and the guards will join us outside. I know where there is safety, so have no fear. Should the rascals come they will hot harm these old people; they will not dare to do it" Ulin had drawn a mantle about her shoulders, and Julian had turned to speak apart with Ben Hadad, when Qsmlr came rushing into the cave, with terror depicted most painfully upon his ebon features. "They are coming!" he cried. "They have sprung upon us from a hidden cover." Who. are coming?" "They are the king's soldiers, led by the captain, Benonl!" On the next instant the clash of +arms^was iteard_ai^lhe_entrance. "Back, back, sweet love," said Julian, gently pushing the maiden towards her chamber. "There may yet be hope." He grasped a sword as he spoke, and leaped toward the entrance; but he was too late. Already a score of armed meu^weTe~n[sh"tgg7tn7s: number or them bearing flaming torches in their hands. "Come, gcod Osmir," the chieftain cried, bracing himself for the work. "Capture for us is certain death. We can do no better than to sell our liveshero." One—two—three—four of the royal soldiers fell beneath the lightning-like strokes of Julian's trenchant blade; and in the same time Osmir had slain two; but it was net in the roll of fate that two were to overcome the force that came pouring into the cave. A flaming torch was hurled upon the chieftain, and while he staggered beneath the blinding 6troke he was drawn over backward* and his arms Quickly pinioned. The next movement was to , secure Ulin and Albla. after which Ben Hadad and Ezabel were taken. "Will you lay violent hands upon me T demanded the hermit. •*1 am ordered to bring you all before the king," replied Benonl; "all whom I might find in this cave. I mean to offer you no harm, so if you have complaint to make, save it for those who command me." While the captain was searching other apartments, to see if more prisoners were to be found, Julian felt a hand laid upon his shoulder, and on looking up he beheld Judah. "So, my noble chieftain, you are fast once more. The guard played us false. It seems, and I came near losing my head in consequence; but my royal master will pardon me when he sees yon again." CHAPTER XXI. Innocence of Helen. The king of Damascus had grown very old and very sour, within those last few days. Rage and chagrin had so shaken his frame that he seemed stricken with palsy; and his voice, from its bowlings and moanings, had t>ecome hoarse and cracked. But he -had promise of sweet revenge. His soldiers were upon the track of the fugitive*, and he believed they would bring them back. 0, hew he would gloat over the sufferings of his victims when they came within his power! 1 tell thee. Aboul Cassem," he said, addressing his minister, "the fair, frail Ulin must suffer for this. She is no longer your child; I shall not regard her as such. Aboul bowed hit need, and answered that he was content. Omar could not help noticing that his friend was in trouble, aad he took the liberty to ask' what had gone wrong. "Alas!", cried Horam, "everything goes wrong." And he told how hxJiad by St. *»•*•*• oo. Gentlemen: A short time ago I then, he tm now he had o*cs caofar* severely wienched my foot and emkle.

In ff*M * » sure she did- I think they w#i be all within, my. power by, tomorrow. 0, Omar, you have known much of , my sorrow. I have,' grown old since we las* met—very old. ft years I am. but the passing of two harvests ahead of you; but in trial and trouble I have left you far behind. The last time you were in Damascus the first great trial of my life came upon me. You remember it" "Of what do you speak;?" "Why—of my wife—of the first wife I ever had—of her whom I made my queen." "Do you mean the Lady Helena?" "To be sure I do. Mercy! have you forgotten?" "No," said Omar, shaking his head, "I remember Helena very well. She was the most bautlful woman I ever saw." "And as false as she was beautiful," added Horam. "Is it possible? r did not think she would come to that" "How!" exclaimed the king of Damascus. "Does your memory fail you?" "What mean you, Horam? My memory is good." "Then why do you wonder when I speak of the faithlessness of my first queen? Was it not yourself that gava to me the proofs of her infidelity? Did you not show to me that she had fallen?" ."You speak in riddles," said' the king of Aleppo. "I remember that we once suspected the young queen of bestowing her love upon a captain of your guard—I think hfs name was Jaruai^ — The injwy wa* •sry pnisdal, and toe ceaseqeemt inconvenience * (beta* obHgsd to keep to business), was very trying.

It r as your evidence that convicted both him and Helena." "And was the queen guilty after that?" —^-Guilty-after tha^^-r reper.ted ram, slowly and irresolutely. "What mean you? Do you imagine that I allowed her to live to commit more crime?" "In mercy's' name," cried Omar, "what do you mean by this speech? Do you remember Sanballad and Ben Huram?" "Yes," replied Horam. "They were two of my chamberlains, who accompanied you to Aleppo at the time of which we have spoken." "No," said Omar, "they did not quite go to Aleppo. I sent them back before I reached, my capital. They brought to you my message?" "I never saw them again after they went away with you," returned Horam. "Never—saw—them. Good spirits of morcy! Are you in earnest, Horam?" "Aye. If they started oh their return, they must have been robbed and killed, for I never saw them after they left in your retinue." The king of Aleppo clasped his hands In agony. "O, Horam! Horam!" he exclaimed, "what a fearful mistake was that! Bear with me—forgive me!" "What is it. Omar?" "Your beautiful queen was innocent!" "Innocent!" gasped Horam, starting to his feet and then sinking back again. "Yes, my brother," replied Omar, in trembling tones, "she was as innocent as in that natal hour when first she rested upon her mother's bosom. At Balbec we found a woman whom some of my officers brought before me supposing her to be the queen of Damascus. She was very beautiful, and so nearly did &he resemble the queen, Helens, thst even I was at first deceived. Her name was Jasmin, and she told me that she had just fled from Damascus and was waiting for her lover to join her. She said that Jabal was her lover, and that he was a captain of Horam's guard. The truth flashed upon me in a moment I conversed with her until I had gained her whole story; and then I knew that yonr queen was innocent .It waa all proved to me, as clear as the sun at noonday. At first I had a thought of returning myself, and hearing to you the joyful tidings-; but business urged me on, and I sent Sanballad and Ben Huram." "And they did not come!" uttered Horam, with hia hands working nervously in his bosom. "They did not come—and my queen died." "God forgive me!" ejaculated Omar. "I woukThave given my own life— Horam!"

Professor W. S.

I s a poisonous secretion, which may be beneficial in certain phases of disease, but is never beneficial to the healthy body. Phyaidans advise healthy persons to avoid it altogether. Everyone advises people to avoid taking alcohol into the empty stomach. The young developing individual is always advised to abstain from alcohol. The use of alcohol, as with narcotics in general, i s followed by a reaction. The use of alcohol is followed by a decrease in the activity of the muscles and brain cells. As to food, on the contrary: The same quanity always produces the same effect. Its habitual use does not induce a desire for more in ever-increasing amounts. Sudden abstainene from food never deranges the central nervous system. All foods are oxidized slowly. All foods are stored in the body. All foods are products of constructive activity of protoplasms in the presence of abundant oxygen. A l l foods are wholesome aud benefical to the healthy body; and they may injure the body in certain phases of disease. Physicians never advise healthy persons to avoid food altogether. People are invariably advised to take*food into the empty stomach. T h e young are advised to take bountifully of food. The use of food is not followed by reaction.

The prospect for future prices is much canvassed at present among buyers and/ far* mere. '^Potatoes" the buyer, said, "certain to go down to 90 and 25 cents per bushel before many weeks, and the tendency will be downward from now until the close of the buying season." This opinion, whatever value i t may have, is based upon reports t h e buyer claimed to have received relative to the potatoe yield i n western and eastern states. One Michigan buyer who recently made a trip through many of the countys of Michigan, estimates the potatoe yield in this state at 23,875,000 bushels. Wexford county, according to his estimate, will market 230,000 bushels, Manistee county 170,000 bushels and Grand Traverse county a half million bushels. Of course, the Cadillac buyer's opinion may be biased, and yet the farmer who has potatoes to sell will be justified in making a thorough investigation relative to market and price prospects.

A thrifty tradesman, having opened a deposit account with a bank distant some 30-miles from his home, the cashier had the curiosity to ask why he traveled so far when there was a branch of the same bank almost at his door. The depositor smiled knowingly and replied, "I lodged opposite here all the time while this bank was being built, so I know it's safe." Balance sheets to the rustic are a meaningless and arbitrary arrangement of figures. Iron bars he understands. In a northern city there is a bank widely known for the artistic merit of Its doors. Designed by an eminent sculptor, they are executed in relief in copper or bronze and appear to represent tableaux from ".SSsop's Fables" and Greek history. About a week after they were unveiled an old man who had been a depositor for many years thdrew his balance and took it to a rival bank almost opposite. Questioned as to his reason for changing, he replied: "I don't hold wi' them doors of theirs. Punched tin ain't businesslike, and it ain't safe."—Longman's. genially to both gentlemen and passed on.

With just a shade of superior ability the doctor replied, "Well now, among all the men and women I know I call most all by name as I greet them. Itell you it's a trick of the profession." "That may be, doc—but I doubt If you can write down in fifteen minutes 100 names of people you know personally." The doctor jumped to his feet and said, scornfully, "Jingoes! I can." "All right. I'll bet a box of cigars on it." The doctor, pencil in hand, was soon hard at work. "Time!" The manufacturer's watch snapped shut, and as he looked over the doctor's shoulder he counted 63. They finished their cigars in silencebut the next morning the manufacturers friends chuckled audibly over the doctor's professional knowledge of applied psychology.—Milwaukee SentineL A Dlekeaa Letter. Fenn is the possessor of a sheet of old fashioned blue wire woven note paper, which had its habitation for years upon the bill file of tbe tradesman to whom it was sent. It tells its own tale: "Mr. Charles Dickens is much obliged to Mr. Claridge for the offer of Lord Byron's flute. But, as Mr. Dickens cannot play that Instrument himself and has nobody in his house who can, he begs to decline the purchase, with thanks. Devonshire Terrace, twentieth June, 1848." There is no visible mark of a smile upon the paper, says Mr. Fenn, but there seems to be one playing among the words, and one cannot help thinking that when Dickens wrote that he could not play the flute he must have recalled a certain flute serenade played at "Mrs. Todgers' Commercial Boarding House," written by him in, 1844.— New York Tribune. The Sin* of Nutrition. To overload the stomach with food is not less unhealthy than to indulge It with beverages. The more nutritious the food the more hazardous are the consequences when excess is habitual. Of all the sins of nutrition, the Immoderate use of meat is certainly tbe most grievous. It gives to the body in a form that is favorable for easy assimilation the albumen that is absolutely necessary to life, and hence tbe earliest effect of its excessive use must be to surcharge the body with nutrients. The chief point here Is the critical examination of what is called hunger. Many persons believe that any and every sensation of hunger must be satisfled immediately, but this Is a great mistake. An equally great If not worse mistake is the opinion that one must eat until a sense of satiety arises. Excessive nutrition injures the mental capabilities also. Of the particular consequences of excessive nutrition, such as hypochondria* (the very name of which refers the reader to the region of the abdomen) and -the gout. It is hardly necessary to speak.—Blatter Fur yolksgesundbeltspnege. Stepped Into Lire Coals. "When a child I burned my loot rriffhtfnlly." writwj W. B. Bads, of .lon*8vit|n.

It was then the custom when giving a large entertainment for the hostess to Inform her guests what particular odor she would use for perfuming her rooms, and each guest would use that odor in making her toilet. At court a different perfume was used for each day of the week. Much more attention was paid to the use of the perfume than to soap and water, and cleanliness was not numbered among the virtues of that age. How P e a r l s Are Sorted.

Superstition* About Saeeilac Xenopbon, Promotheus, Themistocles and Cicero regarded a sneeze as a favorable omen. Among the Hindoos and Persians, however, sneezing aud yawntog were ascribed to demoniacal possession. The Hindoo snaps his tbnmb and finger and repeats the name ot-one of his gods. The Moslems .believe that the devil may leap Into a gaping mouth, and hence when he yawns he draws the back of his band over his month and mutters this prayer, "I seek refuge With Allah from satan, the accursed."

Not every city has the wonderful electric plant driven by Niagara Falls, and without some such plant It will be impossible to reproduce the solemn grandeur, the glorious beauty, the impressive radiance of this City of Light There are yet a few more weeks in Which to see this vision with all Its attendant beauties. a c r u B ^ H FLOWERS.

The Pan-American is one of the greatest flower shows that ever was. but there are so many other things in which it~is great that the rarity and beauty of its floral features are perhaps apt to be overlooked. If people would take more time to allow the artistic and beautiful features of the Exposition to Impress their senses and permeate their inmost being instead of racing from one part of the grounds to another, trying to see every exhibit and every show on the Midway, they would go home feeling greater benefit from their siay In the Rainbow City.- The Pan-American is full of gardens which tempt the visitor to rest awhile and drink in the beauties of nature. It may seem surprising that in the month of October there are flowers worth looking at, but such is the fact The rains of the past few weeks have kept the landscape as fresh and beautiful as In May and June, and as one flower goes out of the scene another takes its place. On opening day the hyacinths filled the air with their dainty fragrance, in June tulips lifted their proud beads, later In the month of brides and sweet girl graduates came roses, with their rich perfume, and as the summer passed the other flowers in their season sprang up as if by magic to take the place of those which had done their blossoming and served their turn in the entertainment of the visitors to the City of Light And now one sees the tall canna. the gay geranium and such old fashioned flowers as grandmother's garden had—the phlox, the pink, the begonia, the petunia and other posies which are no less beautiful because they do not happen to be noveK In entering the grounds by the Elm • wood gate visitors pass two tall and i curious looking trees, which perhaps few in their anxiety to reach the heart J of the Exposition stop to notice, it they realized that they were century plants Just budding, a thing which, as all know, century plants only do once In a long, long time, they would doubtloss stop and look with open mouths' and wondering gaze. It is a sight which one cannot see very of ten. anywhere else. One of these century plants | is nearly forty feet in height, The Rose Gardens around the Woman's building, having for their background the outlines of the Spanish renaissance buildings about the main court and the Electric Tower looming up at its north end, with the Mirror Lakes and the Triumphal Bridge and the groups of statuary abounding, form a scene whose artistic aspect must appeal to even the least aesthetic visitor. The cannas are very effective decorative plants, with their tall leaves in green and red and brown.

It is one of .the new things* This small garden is very beautiful, by day, and at night electric lights of different colors have been hidden among the flowers and planks, so. that one sees the surface of the ground dotted with these little spots of light bringing out the beauty of the flowers, and all forming a scene Impossible to describe, but very charming indeed to witness. It is quite a,pretty surprise even to old Pan-American visitors. Did you ever notice In crossing the Court of Lilies, sooth of the Machinery building, a heavy vapor arising from the basin in the center of that court? Sometimes it has so much the appearance of smoke that, people think something must be afire In the garden, but it is only the steam or vapor created by the beating of the water In that basin for the benefit of the tropical lilies which grow therein. These lilies, which are known as the Victoria Regia, have enormous leaves, some of them three feet in diameter. Other gardens where there are flowerVln bloom during this month of October are those In front of the United States Government building and the Horticulture group, where the gay geraniums and sweet petunias contrast their colors with the green flags growing In the basin and with the white statuary disposed along their slopes. There was a floral fete at the Exposition during the first week of October, and this in tts way. of course, was an affair of much beauty and magnificence; but. as a matter of fact there have been floral fetes at the Pan-American since opening day.

The furniture factory of FOX & Martin was totally destroyed, the, fire being first discovered in the varnish room, possibly caused by spontaneous combustion. The blaze had twenty minutes' start of the fire department. An explosion while the firemen were fighting the flames resulted in the injury of Chief Charles Wilcox. He will probably die. George Brands and William 8. Eveleth were seriously injured. The men were on a ladder throwing a stream into the second story window when the wall suddenly flow into a thousand pieces from an explosion within. Wilcox was buried beneath tons of brick, and was taken out bleeding and unconscious. Doctors give but little hope for his recovery. Brands was badly cut on the head by flying brick, and Eveleth was cut and brained. The senior member of the firm, S. C. Fox. is in England, where the firm conducts a wholesale busluess. Geo. D.

Dr. Colmette, head of the Pasteur Institute in Paris, and discoverer of the anti-venomous serum which bears his name, has just had a narrow escape from death, which he owes to his own Invention. Dr. Colmette was collecting some serpents' venom, when one-of the reptiles bit him severely on the finger. A moment's hesitation would have been fatal, for the poison was a deadly one, whose action is immediate. Fortunately one of Dr. Colmette's colleagues at once injected a strong dose of the anti-venomous serum, and the worst result so far has been a high fever and a swelling of. the hand and wrist tier that the trust might have no op position. "If they can succeed in the Missouri Valley," said he. "they will then turn their attention to the beet sugar factories'in Michigan and other sections, and by the power of concentrated capital crush out successively and Individually the beet sugar producers. The trust tries to deceive the Trnbrtc-bx-riaimlTTj: that the lfeeT~iW3r ,ducers can still make money nt the low price it is trying to establish. This is false, and if It had been true, thou the trust would have tried to establish still a lower price. They are not sacrificing one-half per cent in the Mis xonii riv^r markets to make a price that will still be profitable to the l:eet sugar men. Among the villagers on the Volga In the Russian province of Samara a curious sect of women has made its appearance. It was originated by an elderly peasant woman in Soznavo, called the "Blessed Mother." These women have fled from the villages around into a remote district, where they live singly in holes dug out of me face of the hill. They lead a life of fasting and prayer, and believe themselves called from the world, which they think is shortly about to perish in a general conflagration. The "Blessed Mother" has "ten wise virgins" as a. sort of bodyguard, and the sect believes that these eleven women are possessed of miraculous power. George Arnold, 82 years of age, who had been missing from the home of his granddaughter, Mrs. F. J. Warne, Syracuse, N. Y., was discovered in a field three miles from the Warne homestead. He was sitting under a tree and had nothing to eat but some green leaves and not a drop of water had passed his lips. Although' very weak he is expected to live. The old man had lived in Toronto, Ont., up to a short time ago, when his wife died. He frequently said that he wanted to go nome and had been acting in a peculiar manner. One mile from the place where the man was found his wooden leg was discovered. He had unstrapped it and crawled on his hands and knees over stone and barbed wire fences. During the funeral of David Lindshog in Chicago, a few days ago, what threatened to be a panic, in which many would have lost their lives, was prevented by the prompt action of the pastor, Herman Lindskog. Jt occurred in the S t Ansgarius Swedish church. The church was crowded, and hundreds of people were outside awaiting an opportunity to view the remains of the pastor's son, who was shot by Policeman James P. Wiley during a scuffle. Just as the burial service was concluded^,a loud report and crashes as of splintering beams sounded in front of the edifice. The flooring bent several inches, and a number of persons started a rush for the entrance.

COLSON. jCCopjrright.lSM, by Pally Story Pub. Co.) If there was one particular characteristic or quality for which the Rev. €barle* BilHnjsa was especially distintfuiBhed it wa& that of truthfulness. Be was." truthful, moreover, for reasons quite apart and side from his calling. As a slim and pallid youth •t hoarding school he had been famous —and popular—-because of hla exceed- • lag candour. Later, as tbe devoted and conscientious rector of tbe Angelican Catholic Church of the Atonement, he was popular and beloved in raptte-of-K,- i a d Hrever tbe^aeek aadtowly~ minded clergyman knew a SUBpicion of spiritual pride it was because of tbe absolutely spotless and unstained condition, of his life-record in tbe matter of truth-telling. To have expected the Rev. Charles Billings, therefore, to have deliberately— albeit unwillingly—yielded to tbe temptation to give utterance to an unequivocal He would have been manifestly outrageous. And yet-^— The door of the church -study opened, one evening, to admit a woman—a woman tall, slender, of good figure, and expressive face, mirroring just then numerous unpleasant emotions. The Rev. Charles Billings knew her sol^d John Brewster, merchant of the old-time Chicago, and a man who was popularly suspected of being a better business man than husband. Certain It Is, tne fine eyea of his wife had long since acquired a look of weary and patient resignation. Straight up to the table at which the priest'jsat hurried the woman, in her eagerness and agitation she never saw the surprised but soothing gesture which beckoned her to a chair. But as she sank into it mechanically it became evident that she had been crying. "Oh Father Billings!" she exclaimed, wildly—the gentle little priest being so designated by his High Church congregation— MOh Father Billings do help me! If you do not—" but it was some minutes before she could go on. "I met an—an old friend this afternoon,", *he explained, subsequently, "and we—we had an ice together, Just to talk of—of old times. There wasn't a shadow of harm In it, although we used—we used to love each other. Perhaps," with a sudden accession of recklessness, "I love him still. At all events, someone—my husband," her [With toarj^ suddenly%4» thouglx.be bad wltnetaed anotaer'i downfall But, o w tad tfwatajrf *)4# iltfc** wai aft *fetf acml ol'tbia mwnan*~*a* her partL U n / ^sjtntoaee and temarsa,!* dUfcbT^rf t^at I haven^ hat* Jaftkitfr ^ ^ ¾ ¾ ^ '*»)«**;* n*S tgtfmH totejidea. fcrf^b^U—fce'l* tt^w me-aside Ulfe aa M istey^ 6V a|t aj^weted. letfafc Ob, I w e t b^».M aj the^prfflat looked ^padjityia, "and I know wbM.aa^ 4«.

She will be ready to accompany you home so soon as this la tin* tehed." Fcr this lie Father Charles Billings presently—and xong—repented, and be will never cease to be anxious concerning its moral effect upon Mrs. Brewster—now slowly acquiring the habit of a negative happiness by utter self-forgetting. Also, the recurrent torture of his wretched inability to solve the problem of 'whether or not he did right in telling the lie will always serve the purpose* of an exquisitely painful hair-shirt to the .man who told i t But there are rare moments, now and then, when the problem and the repentance alike cease to trouble him—when he is glad in the conviction that tbe lie saved not only a woman's body from perdition, but also tbe woman's soul. "No, sir," he heard himself saying. in the world, with the exception of yourself, Father Billings, if you_don'l help me, I'm—I'm afraid I'm lost forever!" "What do you want me to do, my child?" asked the priest, quietly. For answer, she sank on her knees beside him, catching at his hand with small, beseeching fingers that burned like lire. "Tell him that I have been making charity calls," she said, hoarsely. "He won't believe me, but he'll believe you, if you tell him. Everybody knows," without a suspicion of grim humor, "how invariably truthful you are." "But, my child," said the priest, gravely, "that would be a lie, a Bin." "I know it would be a lie," she made ^or one of his parishoneifl,-the wife ©f-| answer^but. would lL.be a sin if you did it to save another? And there are worse sins than lying, Father, and some of them are hard to avoid, i don't know how to tell you, but—I've no money, Father, I've no friends or relatives, and if ray husband throws me aside there's only one person to whom I can turn'for assistance—and— and—I do not want to go to—him." The face of the priest was pale and puzzled. As a clergyman he knew lying to be sinful. As a man and a gentleman he hated lying on general principles. Ho was firmly convinced of the wickedness of doing evil that good may corao. And yet— It was all so clear before him. if this woman did not still love the— the other man—she would not so fear and dread being thrown aside by her unloving, unloved husband. And, if so thrown aside, to whom else could she turn? That she was speatting the truth in regard to her husband's harshness and her own penniless condition the clergyman knew well. He knew more about solid John Brewster than most people, and for a hard man and exceeding close with, his money all men knew him. That he would refuse to believe the meeting between his wife and the lover from whom he bad parted her, by unfair means, solitary and a* innocent as accidental was also tolerably certain. Then, certainly, the problem lay between this woman's soul and his own —the priestly soul which had never yet been stained by lying. Heavy steps sounded along the passageway leading from the street The woman, springing to a chair on the other side of the table, looked at the priest beseechingly and bent hurriedly over some papers. A moment later and solid John Brewster himself strode into the room. At sight of his wife the hard face changed, the expression faltered. Tbe priest, rising to confront him, caw in his eyea both doubt and hesitation. MI see my wife is with you," tbe man said, sullenly. "May I inquire if she has been with you all day?** For a moment the priest struggled 'Oh, Father BUMng*!" against a moat human impulse, the Tolce and face all concentrated bit-[mad, natural, all but uncontrollable ternesa, "plotted and cams between us.

The people cf Flushing, which has become famous for the beautiful shade trees which line its streets, have noticed recently that many big, sturdy trees have withered and become lifeless without apparent cause or injury. These trees were not confined to any one variety nor was any single locality alone affected. Horticultural experts examined the dead trees to see if they had become affected by insects or rust, but nothing of the kind was found. Then Samuel B. Parsbns, a veteran nurseryman, was asked .to make an investigation. He reported: "The condition of the trees Indicates that 9hl»Ba«r war, in tw» TV nsoae, jnrm ha*e latted-twe years |C>r^^tfair»; ^ r e S g n e k r It is aai4 that Japan is coming to ,thp TJ»tte4 States for a loan of 6^,000,- 0P0 y w i . , Y ; \ : /•''.: ./..,- . :.\'.'.',..

The ladies arn attending tbe state meeting of tbe WEN Superintendent Converse promised' a better aeries of live stock sbowa at tbe Pan-American Exposition than was ever before attempted, tbe statement was accepted as an ordinary pleasant and pardonable exaggeration. Tbe complete success of tbe dog and tbe swine shows, however, proved to be the first steps toward redeeming bis promise. The cattle show was an agreeable surprise to every stocfcma#n who saw it and at once established a new standard of excellence that will not be equaled for years to come and possibly never surpassed as regards quality. The sheep show, now fully under way and lasting to Oct. 26, is in every way a worthy successor to the dog, the swiue and the cattle shows. The best flocks in the United States and Canada are represented, together with their recent additions of imported stock, consisting of about twenty fine animals now shown in this country for the first time. The sheep show, taken as a whole, is one of the most complete ever brought together. Every important breed has a strong representation, while every breed known has an exhibit of some kind. The Island Black Face, of whicb there are but three or four flocks in tbe United Stutes, are well represented, and tbey are creating a great deal of interest among the exhibitors and visitors. > All classes in tbe middle wools are pnrticr.JsM-ly _strong.,_nuioiis whlcli :tre tTon" visitors their" practical^worlfaf, twenty sheep are brought from the East Buffalo stockyards every morning. One machine is set In motion each half hour during tbe day, and one of the men in charge removes a fleece with it One of the operators claims a speed of one and one-half minutes to a neece. Raa*« Sk**p. In a pen outside of the regular sheep exhibit is a carload of range sheep direct from the Canadian northwest These are sent as an advertisement of the rich pasture lands and an illustration of what may be produced there without additional feed and without artificial shelter. The Pan-Amerlearn Horse Show. Dame Fashion may have withdrawn her smile of approval and tbe different styles of autos turn their backs in derision, but tbe borse still holds favor with the great majority of mankind. The borse show at the Exposition which holds the boards for two weeks, from Oct 7 to Oct. 19, will be no exception. Five hundred horses are coming which are carefully selected to faithfully represent the best of every breed found in the United States and Canada. Vermont is again courting prominence by sending a fine lot of Morgan horses, a breed that should receive more attention than it does. Draft horses, especially the Clydesdale and Percheron breeds; are well represented. These are principally from -Canada and the western states. German coach horses attract a great deal.of attention.

Tbe strongest representation of all is from the Merinos. Vermont, tbe home of the Merino, where tbe only distinctive American breed of sheep originated, is represented by many of her best breeders. This fact deserves more than a passing notice, as our domestic animals of American origin are not numerous. We have borrowed almost everything of this nature from other countries. The only otlier exception Is possibly tbe American trotting borse Ansorm Goat a. In connection witb the sbeep sbow is an exhibit of 240 Angora goats. These interesting animals fill one of the iive stock pavilions. Tbe growing of Angora goats is a comparatively new business in this country, and very little Is known about it in the east Their adaptability to rough, rocky pasture lands, where they graze and grow contentedly, has brought them prominently into consideration where such lands have proved useless or nearly so. Wool Exhibit. As another feature of the sheep shew Superintendent Converse has arranged an exhibition of wool. This is International in scope, having fleeces from tbe different states, Canada and several South American countries. Argentina alone contributes more than 200 sample fleeces. Chile. Costa Rica, Bolivia, Salvador and other Central and South American countries are also represented. Such an international wool exhibit was never before attempted. It cannot fall to produce lasting benefits that will be shared by growers of sbeep, mannfacturers of woolen goods and through tbem tbe general public* Shoarta* Naafclaory. Still another accessory to tbe sbeep lndnetry is elaborately illustrated. In one of tbe stock buddings a platform was erected about three feet above the floor, upon which is installed tbe latest and beet shearing nnd clipping machinery. Some of tbe nincuiues are operated by electricity, while others are mn£|i& bjLhnnjL Ta_fifcaaJtQ-Elotion of these horses will bVbrought direct to the Exposition. French-Canadian horses from Quebec are entered more as a special feature of the horse show. Tbey are little known in the United States, but their style and endurance will commend them as superior coach horses and those that will command favor in any market Instead of enumerating the different breeds it is only necessary to select any kind of horse wanted, with tbe assurance that it will be on exhibition. The finest stables on tbe continent are contributing to tbe show witb sufficient enthusiasm to Insure the finest representation possible. place In the Stadium on tbe 9th and 10th of October, when this immense structure will be none too large to accommodate those who will want to see this crowning climax to sucb an elaborate series of live stock shows. Pomltrr aad Pet Stock. From Oct. 21 to the close of tbe fair tbe stock,pavilions will be once more filled witb life, though In a very different form. Poultry of high degree from all parts of the United States and many places in Canada will fraternise without regard to politics or tariffs. As near neighbors tbe poultry will have mice, rabbits, cats, cavies, prairie dogs, squirrels, ferrets, rats and Belgian hares, besides a great assortment of pigeons, owls, magpies and a great many cage birds. Eight thousand animals and birds are being gathered together to form this complete cosmopolitan assemblage of birds and animals. > If you want your piano tuned right, drop a card to F. N.

TEEPLE & CftDWELL WHY NOT PENCKNETf Best Location In County for Beet Sugar Factory. Howell and 4'owlerville are both after a beet sugar factory and both claim tbe best advantages. We rise to say that right here in Fincknej and vicinity we have every advantage of either town and some better. , In the first place the land about the village is especially adapted to raising the sugar beet that has the sugar in it. There are hundreds of acres within a few miles of the village that are easily cultivated and contains the properties of sugar. Low black soil may raise tbe beets but the sand loam is what makes the sugar. In the second place considerable hrne stone is needed in the sugar making process and that could be se onred without going as far as some may think. In the third place w£ are situated so far from the milk factory that the best profiits are spent in getting the milk to market ana with a beet factory farmers could draw their beets in and a load of pulp back for fuel and manure. We understand that.«U the acreage-I required to start a factory conld be' secured here and a site given etc. We think it wocud pay to founders of the factories to visit our village before jumping at any conclusions. Let us hear what you think about it. Orla Hendee returned to his work at Cadillac Tuesday. Sugene tempbeUaed njf* m ^ iting in and near Buffalo, Tney wiU visH the Pan-Am. again while :tee*i.

The ballroom Is resplendent with the rich apparel of those who, on either side of the white, glistening boards, await the signal from the orchestra. Concert halls are lifted into enchantment with the war- Me of one songstress or swept out on a sea of tumultuous feeling by the Mast of brazen Instruments. Drawing rooms are filled with all gracefulness «f apparel, with all sweetness of sound, with all splendor of manner; mirrors catching up and multiplying the until it seems as If in Infinite corridors there were garlanded troops advancing and retreating.

A beautiful and overwhelming thing Is the city in the 'first and second watches of the atght Tturd Watch of the Night. Bat the clock strikes 12 and the third watch has begun. The thunder of the city has rolled out of the air. The ellgfatec^ sounds cut the night with •aaea distinctness as to attract your attention. The "tinkling of the boll of the street car in the distance and the haying or the dog. The stamp of a in the next street The slamof a saloon door. The hiccough the drunkard.

Let one great wave of refreshing slumber roll over the heart of the great town, cubmeiglng cars and anxiety and worriment and pain,- Let the city sleej>. Those Who Sleep Not. But my friends, be not deceived. There will be toni&ht thousands who will not sleep si alL Go up that dark alley, and be cautious where you tread lest you fall over the prostrate form of a drunkard lying on his own doorstep. Look about you, lest you feel the garroter's hug. Look through the broken window pane and see what ycu can see. You cay, "Nothing." Then listen. What is it? "God help us!" No footlights, but tragedy ghastlier and mightier than Rlstori or Edwin Booth ever enacted. No light, no fire, no bread, no hope. Shivering in the cold, they have had no fcod for twenty-four hours. You say, "Why don't they beg?" They do, but they gat nothing. You say, "Why don't they deliver themselves over to the almshouse?" Ah, you would not ask that if you ever heard the bitter cry of a man or child when told he must go to the almshouse! "Oh," you say, "they are vicious poor, and there!ore they do not deserve our sympathy." Are they vicio u s ? S o much more need they your pity. The ChrlElian pocr, God helps them. Through their . night there twinkles the round, merry star of hope and through the broken window they see the crystals of heaven, but the vicious poor, they are more to be pitied. Their last light hai gone out. You excuse yourself from helping them by saying that they are sd bad they brought this trouble on themselves. I reply, Where I give tea prayers for the innocent who arc suffering I will give twenty for the guiliy who are suffering. T h e Open Door. Pass on tlTOUih the aley. Open the door. "Oh," you say, 'it is locked." No, it Is net lecked. It has never been locked. No burglar would be tempted to go in there to steal anything. The dcor is never locked. Only a broken chair stands against the door. Shove it back. Go in. Strike a matcM. Now, look. Beastliness and r?g3. See those glaring eyeballs. Be careful now what ycu say. Do not utter any insult do not utter ary suspicion, if ycu walue your life. What is that red mark on the wall? It is the mark of a murderer's hand! Lock at those two eyes rising up out of the dukne&s and out from the straw in the corner, coming toward you, and as they come near you your light go as out. Strike another match. Ah, this is a babe, not like thess beaut'ful childr:n pr3&ented In baptism. This little one never smiled; it never will smile. A flower flung on an awfully barren beach. 0 Heavenly Shepherd, fold that little one in tby arms! Wiap around you your shawl or your coat tlghtsr, for the co!d wind sweeps through. , , . , Strike another match. Ah, !s it possible that the scarred and bruised face cf that young woman wats ever looked into by maternal tend?rn:s3? Utter no scorn. Utter no harsh word. No ray of hope has dawned on that brow for many a year. No ray of hope ever will dawn on that brow. But .the light has gone out Do not strike another light It would be a' mockery to kindle another light in such'a place as that. Pass out and pass djcosa.lhe street. Our cities are full «f such hemes, and the wotst time the third watch of the night. The Criminal'* Hoar. Do you know that it is in this third watqh of the night that criminals do their worst work?

My friends, you see all around about you the need that something radical be done. You do not see the worst In the midnight meetings in London a great multlude have been saved. We want a few hundred Christian men and women to comedown from the highest circles of society ,to toil amid these wandering and destitute ones and kindle up a light in the dark alley, even the gladness of heaven. Do not go wrapped in your fine furs and from your well filled tables with the Idea that pious talk is going to stop the gnawing of an empty stomach or to warm stockingless feet. Take bread, take raiment, tako medicine, as well as take prayer.

A great deal of what is called Christian work goes for nothing for the simple reason that it was no*; practical, as after the battle of Antietam a man got out of an ambulance with a bag of tracts, and he went distributing the tracts, and George Stuart, one of the best Christian men in this country, said to him: "What ace you distributing tracts for now? There are three thousand men bleeding to death. Bind up their wounds and then distribute the tracts." We want more common sense in Christian work, taking the bread of this life in one hand and the bread of the next life In the other hand. No such inapt wor': as that done by the Christian man who during our civil war went to a hospital with tracts and, coming to the bed of a man whose legs had been amputated, gave him a tract on the sin of dancing! 1 rejoice before God that never are sympathetic words uttered, never a prayei offered, never a Christian almsgiving indulged in, but it is blessed. There is a place in Switzerland, I am told, where the utterance of one word will bring back a score of echoes, and 1 have to tell you that a sympathetic word, a kind word, a generous word, a helpful word, uttered In the dark places of the town will bring back ten thousand echoes from heaven. Are Jo ere in this assemblage those whe know by experience the tragedies in the third watch of the night? I am not here to thrust you back with one hard word. Take the bandage .from your bruised soul and put on it the soothing salve of Christ's gospel and ol God's compassion. I tell you there is more delight in heaven over one man that gets reformed by the grace of God than over ninety and nine that nevez got off the track. Bin. MadUon** Case.

NtGRO SUPERSTITION. • People Who Est Coal. Earth-eating savages are known tc anthropologists, but the statement that therfvare people in civilized England Who habitually swallow lumps of ordlnaryhousehold coal appears somewhat surprising. To this practice Alary Ann Poy^jt housemaid lately employed at 46 Gloucester gardens, Hyde Park owed her death. Som* of the pieces, stated Dr. Harper at the Inquest, had stuck in the windpipe and caused suffocation. It was a fact, added the witness, that some persons did eat small portions of coal. The coroner asked with what object A juror said that persons suffering from severe attack! of heartburn did so. The coroner said that be.had heard, of persons eating charcoal, but not coal. There was 14 the present case; however, no doubt about the' fact "Death from misadventure" was the verdict.-*London Eg* jress. S o m e o f T h e m A r e J o a t L i k e t h e Q*ea H e t d by T h e i r W h i t e B r e t h r e n . Many of the negro superstitions in Kentucky are quite interesting. An bid philosopher told me With great gravity:. "If you want poppers to grow, you must git mad. My old 'oman an' me had a spat, an* I went right, dut an' planted my peppers, an' they :came right up." Still another saying is that peppers, to prosper, must be planted by a red-headed or by a high-tempered person. The negro also says that one never sees a jailbird on Friday, for the bird visits his satanlc majesty to "pack kindling" on that day. The three signs in which the negroes place implicit trust are tho well-- known ones of the ground hog appearing above ground on the 2d of February; that a hoe must not, be carried through a house or a death will follow, and that potatoes must be planted in the dark of the moon, as well as -all vegetables that ripen in the ground ana-that com most be planted *1n tie light of the moon. Feed gunpowder to dogs and It will make them fierce. A negro will not burn the wood of a tree that has been struck by lightning, for fear that his house will burn or be struck by lightning. If a bird files into a house it brings luck. If a crawfish or a turtle catches your toes It will hold on till it thunders. When a child I was told by a black nurse that If a bat alights on one's head rl wER stay there till it thunders. This was so terrifying that even now I have an unnecessary fear of being clutehed by a bat. To make soap, stir it with a sassafras stick in the dark cf the moon. J It Is better to be able* to suffer* Ion? and be kind, than to be able to talk like an angel.

If you have any inducements to offer that will keep trade at home don't k*»ep a good thing to yourself, tell your customers about i t If you can well goods as cheaply or cheaper than the mail order houses, your money drawer won't show it, if nobody outside of your self knows it. Now here's a straightforward question; what are you doing to keep trade at home? Are you talking interestingly in your newspapers about the new goods that just came in, how good they are, how little they cost, what a good store you have, about your bright, clean stock, and how well you can serve your trade? How often do you go down into your pocket and pay the printer for producing a handsome little booklet? Does your trade know as much about your store a s it does about the inside of- the big mail-order house catalogues? Answer these questions satisfactorily, and there won't be so much talk about the "ruinoqs competition" of the mail order houses. Fight them with their own weapons— good advertising, Bave a well kept mailing list, just as they do. Buy as much newspaper space as you can a$ord, and fill it with good business talk—store news. Take hnlf a dozen articles frcm the catalogues, quote the catalogue prices and put your own prices beside them. Show your trade the folly of ordering goods by mail, paying freight charges, etc., wnen they cau buy them just as cheaply of you, have the actual goods to select from, and keep their money at home.

After leaving home Sept. 30 we wen* to Detroit and spent the afternoon about the city and visited the beautiful Belle Isle, where we spent about 3 hours very pleasantly. Taking the train at 8:40 we went by the way of F t Huron through the S t Claire Tunnel and arrived in Hamilton, Ont. at 3:10 in the morning. Of course it was dark when we left Detroit so we did not see any of the sosnery along the way.

H & B. depot we took the train for Smithville. This road runs east of the city and for about 15 miles is a steady up-grade and gives a good view of the country. Below the mountain, away to the north could be seen the beautifull Hamilton bay; beyond that is another range of mountains which was plainly seen in the morning sun and lake Ontario, stretched its broad expanse of green waters to the northeast. Arriviug at our destination we found a sister there waiting forus. From there we enjoyed a drive of ttbout six miles to our mothers where it is needless to say, we were' made welcome. Here we spent • a few days visiting old friends and neighbors and enjoying the fat of the land, then we took up ov.r journey and drove about 25 miles through a nice country, well wooded with a mixed timber which presented to the eye an ever changing scene. VVe passed through the old .town of Mount Albion with its decaying walls and crumbly chimneys and on down the Albion mountian drive. This is a very beautiful drive, the road for about half a mile is down grade and some places quite steep, skirted on both sides with trees of different kinds, the maples showing the effects of jack frost with the varying hues contrasting with the deep green of the pine folage which makes a picture .fit for the brush of any artist Emerging from this we came upon more level country which is given up entirely to the culture of fruit which is raised in great abundance, the most of which is harvested except grapes. There are hundred of tons yet to be gathered of different vaiieties but mrmtly a small blue grape used for wine parpo&«5.

After viewing the scenes here we return by electric oar to the city where we spent the night with a friend. Taking up our journey again we take an east bound car which brings us to the Hamilton Jockey Club track where we make a few calls and pass on to the city water works where we are made welcome by Mr. McFarland its genial superintendent who was once my Sunday School, teacher and he informs me I was a hard head and not having any proof wherewith to refute it we have to except it and pass on again to where our horse was left and after a hearty dinner we reluctantly bid farwell to friend8 and turn our backs to place which knew us when we were children.

Yours Bespectf ully, G. W. BLACK. W o n by Hie Wit. A story is told of an English clergyman who owed bis appointment to a rich living to a lucky pun. He was tutor to the son of a nobleman and had not long taken orders when he attended the funeral of the rector of the parish in which the nobleman's seat was situated. The father of his pupil was patron ot the living and was also present at the funeral of the deceased rector. There was a young clergyman present also whose grief was so demonstrative that the noble patron was much affected by the sight and asked If the young man was,a son of the deceased gentleman. "Oh, dear, no, my ldrd—no relation at all," said the tutor. "No relation!" exclaimed the nobleman in a surprised tone. "None, my lord; he Is the curate, and I think he is not weeping for the dead, but for the living." His lordship, who was something of a wit and a cynic himself, was so delighted with the bonmot that he conferred the living upon the ready punster. <S&£ This eiffnatttre is on every box . lihe genniae Laxative BroaKHQuimae Tibi* the remedy thai career » coM to MM *aw Subscribe for Dispatch. *%****+****t^*^***%J*u****i*»**k&*0l POeTAL 4 MOMV, FROPftirrone. •fcfetiy SrtV claee.

The otter used by Scottish poachers is one of the most deadly fishing instruments known. Iu some waters is is far more effective than a net. It may be described as a water kite, which serves to take out over the water a line bearing 50 or more flies. The otter itself Is a floating piece of board leaded along one edge to keep it upright. The poacher walks along the side of loch or river, letting out the fly decorated line as he goes, the otter board gradually working out toward the center. An enormous area of water is fished at one time and numbers of fish are killed. • • « • » .

Director General Buchanan says the only problem now confronting the Exposition is how to find days enough within the closing weeks to adequately take care of the many attractions and features now being planned. He predicts a great attendance during the month of October and one far inwexcess of the highest estimates that have been made by the most sanguine. In answer to the inquiry as to whether or not Buffalo could take care of the crowds, he said there was no difficulty whatever in this regard; that Buffalo could easily care for 250,000 strangers every day comfortably and at reasonable prices.

Here is a story told by Professor Barrett Wendell about Dr. William Everett: The latter was going out to Brockton one night to deliver an address and ran across Mr. Wendell in the Old Park square station. "Come along. Wendell," he said. "I am going out to Brockton to speak, and I want some one respectable to sit on the platform with me." So the professor went along. When Everett arose to speak, the hall, which was a large one, was only passably well filled, and even the comparatively small number present began to grow smaller as one by one people slipped away. Mr. Wendell began to think that Brockton must be a singularly cold hearted place when* suddenly he noticed people coming in by twos and threes and silently taking seats wherever they could find them. Soon the hall was full, with standing room only, but still they came till the aisles and walla were lined with interested listeners. The supposed deserters had simply gone eat and told the* people of Brock* ton that fcere was the greatest mail they'd e w heard and gathered them IB by the ecore.-^Bostoo Herald, I f NIGHTS OF MACCABEES.

"Or* groaned Horam, clasping hie thin fcandjrr together,—'what would I give to call Helena'back to life! But It cannot be. She is gone—and she Was innocent!" He started .up from his seat, and walked several times across the floor; and when he next approached hl9 royal guest, he had grown calmer, and his Up had ceased its quivering. "Omar, I have no blame for you. . Henceforth let the book be sealed." He had taken, one or two more turns up and down the apartment, when a messenger entered with intelligence that Bononl had arrived, and desired 'audience. "Send him in at once. Good brother, you will remain with me," This last was spoken to Omar, who had turned to leave. In a little walla Benoni made his appearance, and Horam was sure he could see the flush of victory upon his brow. "Now, my captain, what word do you bring?" "Good word, sire. We have captured those whom you desired to see, and have also brought an old man and old woman who resided in the eavc." "Have you brought the Lady Ulin— and the robber chieftain—and Osrnlr and Selim?" "Yes, Eire." "And tbese others are the old hermit, Ben Hadad, and the woman who lives with him?" "Yes, sire." "By the crown I wear!", cried the monarch, leaping up, and clapping his hands, "thlB Is enough to make me forget the wrongs I have suffered. Let the robber •« chieftain and the two treacherous guards be brought before me. But—hold. There was one other epoken of by the Arab—the lieutenant — Hobaddan his name was." "He was'not in the bave, sire; nor was he about tne place." "Very well. Let the chieftain bs brought in." The captain retired, and presently returned, followed by Julian and the two guards. They were heavily ironed, and six stout soldiers walked behind them. The youthful chieftain had schooled himself for the ordeal, and no sign of fear was manifest. Osmir and Selim stood like two deaf mutes, seeming to care nothing for the fate that surely awaited them. "That is all," said Horam, after he had looked at the prisoners. "Take them out, and.guard'them well. Place twenty of your most trusty men over them, and remember that tnose twenty heads shall answer for the safety c' the charge." "Shall I conduct them to a dungeon, Bire?" "No,—there is no need of it. Thsy will not live to behold the setting of this day's sun!" Ben Hadad did not tremble when he stood before the kins; nor did Ezabel seem much frightened. "Old man." said Horam, "I understand that you have harbored and protected the notorious Scourge, Julian." "He hath found shelter with me, as have all' who ever sought it," replied the hermit; v "And you also harbored the lady Ulin. You knew who* she was, and that she had fled from her home." " Y e s . " -.'• <- . • • • • "And perhaps you knew why she .fled?" She told me Tier story, sire." "It is enough,*.' cried the king, impatiently. "I wish to- hear no more.

I asked you what you discovered." » * "I discovered," returned the minister, in tones of deepest dread, "that her love had been turned from you." "Aye—and upon whom?" "Upon Julian, sire." "That is it, Aboul." cried the king, again starting* up. "That is the thing that enters most deeply into my soul. And now I will tell you what the girl's punishment shall be. She shall witness the death of her robber lover; she shall see his head severed from his body—and then the shall be shut up, to lead a solitary life, through the rest of her days! None of her own sex shall attend upon her; but black guards shall be her sole companions. What say you to that?" Tho executioners were not long In obeying the order. A large mat was brought in and spread upon the floor, and three stout'baskets of palm-leaf were placed Upon it. The mat and the baskets were darkly stained, and even Omar, used as he was to such scenes, shuddered wnen he beheld the preparations. When all wa3 ready, Horam turned to his captain and ordered that all the prisoners should be brought in. At length they came. Julian and Osmir and Selim came first. Then followed Ben Hadad and Ezabel, with Shubal and Ortok. And lastly came Ulin and Albia. The robber chieftain was led up to the block. His arms were folded upon his broad bosom, with the heavy chains hanging almost to his feet, and hi3 head was; borne erect. There was a deep pain-mark in hi3 face, but it was not of fear for himself. "Outlaw!" spoko Horam, through his shut teeth, and with his thin hands clenched, "the hour has come in which you are to clo3e your career of rapine. and robbery; and these people who have been friends to you, and who have civen you protection in your crime, are to see your head fall. Perhaps you would ask for mercy." "No!" said the chieftain. "I ask no mercy at the hand of Horam of Damascus:. Let the work be finished as quickly as possible, and thus shall one more be added to the list of thy bloody deeds. I could wish to live that I might taka more vengeance on thee." "And is there not one thing for which you would live?" asked the king, bending a searching, burning glance upon him. . . . Julian started, and struggled; but made no reply. And "in a moment more Horam turned to his chief executioner. "Bel Dara, go now to your work. Lot this man's head fall first. Your arm is strong, and your hand is sure. Bend him upon his knees, and watch , for my signal." There was a low, wild cry breaking upon the air; and as Julian turned his head, he saw Ulin, white and faint, in the arms of her attendant. Eeforo the grim executioners could bend the robber chieftain to his knee3 there was an Interruption in the proceedings. The .voice of Ben Hadad, stern and authoritative, sounded above all else: "Kitfg. of Damascus, ere you stain your hands with that man's blood, 1 must reveal to you a secret which it is fitting you should know." "Old man," ha said, "you speak a secret. Do you think to trifle with me?" "I have to causa a simple story to be unfolded to your majesty," replied Ben Hadad; "and if you will grant this woman speech, she will give you light." The king looked hard into the face of F.zabel, and for the first time he seemed to be struck by something familiar in her features. A moment ho sat as if irresolute, and then he said, starting up 03 though his mind were fixed: "Let the woman approach." Ezabel came nsar to the throne, Ben Kadad walking close behind her.. "Woman, what is it that you have .to tall? Speak, and let not the words lag upon your lips." "I speak by the request of Ben Hadad; r replied. Ezubel; "and the story T,l.*h 2 aitll Ivll rj-a is JLVLZ«i oa^r The' strength, of character of the aaoe«r o* Afghanistan and tbv tfstittjr of bis service in pressing Afgnsnisun B/iresyij&re sjepevajs/ refHtpafaw- t9rr rfuxletf \i» expressed lest his ^pMKeessoT; 4?he deat$ of the ameer to reported i>y a news ajcetfey, which publishes the folk)wing dispatch from 81m!a: "Hablb 0»Uah Khan, eldest son.of thd amecfr of Afkhantsjtaa, has reported to tfc» British agency at Cabn! de*.

M Simla it is believed that Habib Oullah Kuan, who was regarded by his father as his successor and bad Ions had a share in the government of the country, will assume the succession peaceably. , and as I had formed a strong attachment for her, and as she had ajsp conceived the same for me, 1 was retained to attend upon her. Her parent^ were ot the wealthiest of Damascus, and while they made it very pleasant for me to remain with their daughter, they also provided a good place for my son, Hobaddan. My charge grew up to be a beautiful maiden, and became my mistress; and I terved her with joy, for she was good and kind and generous; and I knew that she loved me. In time my mistress became a wife, and I went with her to her new home. For a few months all went pleasantly under this new relation; but finally a dark eloud arose to obscure the heaven, of my lady'3 joy. Her husband became jealous of her—became so jealous that his soul was fraught with deadly vengeance. He fancied that his wife's guilt had been prove 1, and he resolved to put her away from him forever. Her protestations availed nothing. He would not listen to her—he would not even allow her to approach him; but he gave her into the hands of his executioners, and bade them drown her in the waters of the Pharphar. I discovered what was to be done, and slipped away from the home of the cruel husband, and sought my son, who had then become a stout youth. Hobaddan and I hid ourselves near the gates of the city, and when the executioners came out, we followed them. They had with them a large sack, and I knew that my mlstrera was in i t We saw them sink that sack in the river—they sank it where the water was dark and deep—sank it in the middle of the night—and then went away. As soon as they were gone we hurried to the 3hore, and my son plunged into the stream, and succeeded in bringing the sack to the land. We opened it, and my sweet mistress was taken forth, cold and senseless; but she was not dead. Her heart still had motion, and after much labor we, succeeded in bringing her back to consciousness. The next need waa to find a safe shelter for her. We dared not take her back to the city. I thought of the hermit, Ben Hadad. I had heard that ho was a benevolent man, and I reiolvcd to seek him. We found his cave; and when he had heard my story, he promised to give us shelter, and to protect the unfortunate lady. "My mistres3 so far recovered as to be able to sit up; but 3hc could not get well. Her system had received too great a shock, and her poor heart was broken. In two weeks from the time when she entered the cave^. she gave birth to a son, and shortly afterwards she died. She died as pure and true as heaven itself, and her child was the offspring of an honor which no temptation could have tarnished. She died; but the child lived and thrived—lived, and grew strong, and noble, and bold. We told him how his mother had been wronged; but we did not tell him all. We did not tell him who I1L3 father was; only we told him that he owed his orphanage to the king of Damascus. When he grew up he resolved that tho king should suffer for the deed he had done, and subsequent events have proved that his resolution wa3 not vain. "This, sire, is the son of the woman who was my mlstreas. Julian, tho Scourge of Damascus is the child 1 have reared. Would you know more?" Horam sat in his great chair, with his hands clutched tightly upon the golden armi-, and his whole frame quivering. "O," he gasped, "the secret is nigh to the surface! What shall I ask?" The king of Aleppo moved to Horam's side, and whispered in his ear. "Aye," exclaimed the quaking monarch, when he had listened to the words of his brother, "?t shall be so. What ho! Benoni—clear this chamber of all save this old man and woman, and this—this—Julian! Lead them out quickly, and remain w'th them to watch them." In a few moments tho two king* were alone with the three prisoners who had been designated. "Now—now—speak!" . "King of Damascusp^sald the aged hermit, taking a sjep forward, "allow me to tell you Vis rest The suns of almost a hundred years have rolled over my head, and not yet have I willingly deceived a fellow creature to his Injury. What this woman has told you is truo. The lady who was brought to my cave three-and-twenty years ago-^who gave birth to a child there—and who died in Ezabel*s arms-, was Helena, Queen of Damascus! And i the son which she bore was the son of the kins—I swear it; and in support thereof, I pledge my soul's salvation!" \ Cecil Rhodes Verr HI.

On Saturday last we made a hurried visit to the above factoiy and found everyone at work trying to catch up with orders. Chas. G. Smith the genial manager showed us through the institution and although at present only four men are employed be informed me that they turned out over twenty complete bed springs per day. If orders continue to come in as fast as tbey have witbin the past two weeks tbey will have to put in more bands. The factory is a two story building 20x64 thus giving about 2,600 square feet o'f floor. The machinery is driven by a 6-horse power gasoline engine which furnishes power enough to keep 20 or SO^men at work if needed. All sizes of springs are made from a sofa spring to the largest made and tention to the spring given from a loose easy one for a light person to a very stiff one for a heavy person, They even make them heavy on one side and light on the other just as ordered. In fact one can order a spring to suit himself. The Surprise Spring is sold upon a positive guarantee to give perfect satisfaction or money refunded whitbin ten days. We snrely think that every opto-date furniture dealers must carry them in stock to supply the demand tor wben people once find out their good qualities tbey will have no other. Send to the company for circulars of description of the spring. Business Pointers. II II ' I !!• • ! I . « I i! or Sale. Second-band coal stove as good as new WILL Duifwrso.

Tho Pinckn*/ Kilt Own Rat*. Ruined Again by About 9:90 Tuesday it was noticed that rats had caused a break in the dam. Immediate steps were taken by Mr. Peters to arrest the progress of the water, butow-ing to the looseness of the soil this was impossible and in a very few momenrs^tbe water was rushing through in torrents and the east end of the dam was in ruins. The break occured at the same placeas it did about a year and a half ago. A goouHsEare of tlFcTtuehT of the village got to the scene in time to see the torrents of water and some were lucky enough to secure some of the tine fish, and the pond was well stocked and was just begining to furnish sport to the nimrods. Thousands of small bass, pickerel, sunfish etc. were left on the weeds to die and unless something 1¾ dune the smell of decay* ing weeds and fish will be terrible in a week. The loss falls heavily on Mr. Peters who has purchased the will and was getting a trade that caused him to run the mill almost continually to keep Up and fill foreign orders. He has however quite a little flour on hand and can supply most of his home customers, A bee will be made by the* citizens aud farmei patrons on Monday and Tuesday of next week, to help in the work of reparing the break and getting the mill running again before cold weather. This will benefit all and ovoryone should turn out. Bring your team, wagon and scraper it you have one, if not come prepared to shovel. Dinner will be served both days by Mr. Peters for all who come.

And the bartender, pointing to a maudlin battered man drowsing in the corof the barroom, said: "Th:re he Jim, wake up; here's your wife for yon." And the woman said: -**B0 you call that my hu3band?

Tea remember that a few years ago a steamer called the Princess Alice, with e> crowd of exaroionisia ab:ard, sank in the Thames, and there was an awful ameriSce of life.

And so w e employ t h e word "Come!" It will take all eternity to find out t h e number of business-men who have been strengthened b y t h e promises of God, and the people w h o have been fed by the ravens when other resources gave out, and t h e m e n and women who, going into this battle armed only with needle or saw or a x or yardstick or pen or type or shovel or shoe last, have gained a victory that made the heavens resound. With all the resources of God promises for every exigency, no one need be left i n the lurch.? - - - I like the faith displayed years a g o iu Drury Lane, London, in a humble home when every particle of food had given cut, and a kindly soul entered with tea and other table supplies and found a kettle on the fire ready for tea. The benevolent lady said, "How i s it that you have the kettle ready for the tea when you had no tea in the house?" And the daughter of t h e home said: ''Mother would have me put t h e kettle on the fire, and when I said, 'What is the use of doing so when we have nothing in the house?' she said, 'My child, God will provide; thirty years h e has already provided l o r me through "all my pain and helplessness, and h e will not leave me t o starve a t last. H e will send us help though w e do not y e t see how.' We have been waiting all day for something to come, but until w e saw you w e knew not how It w a s to come." Such things the world m a y call coincidences, but I call them Almighty deliverances, and though y o u do not hear of them they are occurring every hour of every day and i n all parts of Christendom. The "»Vorlrt'» Dismal Consolation^ Wnat dismal work of condolence the world makes when it attempts to condole! The plaster they spread does not stick. The broken bones under theii bandage do not knit. A farmer was lost in a snowstorm on a prairie of the far west. Night coming on, and after he was almost frantic from not knowing which way to go his sleigh struck the run of another sleigh, and he said, "I will follow this rut, and it will take me out to safety." He hastened on until he heard the bells of the preceding horses; but, coming up, he found that that man was also lost, and* as the tendency of those who are confused in the forest or on the moors, they were both moving ir. a circle, and the runner of the one lost sleigh was following the runner of the other lOBt sleigh round and round. At last it occurred to them to look at the north star, which was peering through the night, and by the direction of that star they got home again. Those who follow the advice of this world in time of perplexity are in a fearful round, for ii is one bewildered soul following another bewildered soul, and. only those who have In such time got their eye on the morning star of our Christian faith can find their way out or be strong enough to lead others with an all persuasive invitation. "But," says some one, "you Christian people, keep telling us to 'come/ yet you do not tell us how to come." That charge shall not be true on this occasion. Come believing! Come repenting! Come praying! After all that God has been doing for six thousand years, sometimes through patriarchs and sometimes through prophets and at last through the culmination of all the tragedies OS CT^oth^ can an^ pae : Two Things to BeU - *ftdt," you say, "there are so many' things I have to believe and so many things in the shape of a creed that I have to adopt that I am kept back;** No, no! You need believe but two things—-namely, that Jesus Christ came into the world to save sinners, and thai you,are one of them. "But," you say, "I do believe both of these thihglT""Do"you" really believe them with all your heart? "Yes." Why, then, you 1mve passed from death into life. Why, then, you are a son or a daughter of the Lord Almighty. Why, then, you are an heir or an heiress oi an inheritance that will declare dividends from now until long after the stars are dead. Hallelujah! Prince ol God, why do you not come and take your coronet? Princess of the Lord Ainrtghtyrwhy do you-not^BountTOui throne? Pass up into the light Youi boat IS anchored, why do you not go ashore? Just plant your feet down hard, and you will feel under them the Rock of Ages. I challenge the universe for one instance in which a man in the. right spirit appealed for the salvation of the gospel and did not get it. Man alive, you are going to let all the years of your life go iw*y with you without your having this great peace, this glorious hope, this bright expectancy? Are you going to let the pearl of great price lie in the dust at your feet because you are too indolent or too proud to stoop down and pick it up? Will you wear the chain of evil habit when near by you is the hammer j:hat could with one stroke snap the shackle? Will you stay in the prison of sin when here Is a gospel key that could unlock your incarceration? No, no! Maglo of a Word. As tho one word "Come" h a s some* times brought many souls t o Christ, 1 will try the experiment of piling up into a mountain and then send down in an avalanche of power many of these gospel "Comes." "Come thou and all thy house into t h e ark." "Come untc me all y e w h o labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest." "Come, for all things are now ready." "Come with us, and w e will do y o u good." "Come and see." "The Spirit and the bride say 'Come,' and let h i m that is a thirst come." T h e stroke of o n e bell in' a tower may be sweet, but a score of bells well tuned and rightly lifted and skillfully swung i n o n e great chime fill the heavens with music almost celestial. A n d n o o n e w h o has heard the mighty chimes in t h e towers of Amsterdam or Ghent or Copenhagen can forget them. N o w , i t seems t o me that i n this Sabbath hour a l l heaven is chirring, and t h e voices of departed friends and kindred ring down the sky' saying, "Come!" The angels w h o never fell, bending from sapphire thrones, are chanting "Come!" Yea, all the towers of heaven, tower of martyrs; tower of prophets, tower of apostles, tower of evangelists, tower o f the temple of tho Lord God and the Lamb, are chiming, "Come! Come!"

An incident in his career during one of the Wellington wars shows him to have been rich in that justice which commands respect from equals and loyalty from Inferiors; in a word, he kept discipline without regard to rank. His division was crossing a ford on one of the Spanish marches and an officer, to keep hit breeches dry. rode through on a soldier's back. Crawford observed the thing with disgust, and in a minute was splashing through the water after them.both. "Put him down, sir!" he shouted. "Put him down!

Speculators bought up the pine lands and capitalists developed the'salt industry; the salt trusts took possession of the market and the coal trust bids fair to take the larger share of the profit into its hands and dictate prices for the public. Thus the owner of these sources of wealth are pushed aside and others reap the profits.

Farming is free t o all, and any man can build a factory who has the necessary cash. Muoh of the sugar that comes from abroadlneeds refining.before it is fit to be placed on the tawket* The sugar refinersin eastern cities for a time had a monopoly of this business, selling the refined sugar at their own price, and thus fixing the price for refining to shit ^hemselves. The fact that the price of "common stock in American Sugar Befinig Co.,*1 Septembei 3 0 was mare than 121 is evidence that it is a paying concern. Having a monopoly of refined sugar they fixed the price for any locality and season. The practice of putting up the price of SJ2gar„_acerrt a pound during t h e canning Season, and then allowing i t to sink to its normal level when the canning flurry passed by was an illustration of the tactics of the sugar trust.

Here the farmer is the first party to consult and conciliate. I f for any reason he refuses to raise the sugar beets, the beet sugar industry comes to a full stop. The farmer c a rum and 8 the situation. The result is that a fair division of the profits of this industry is made and.the farmer receives a proportion that is satisfactory. Not only is this so, but this is the only i n - dustry where his equitable proportion of the profits comes directly into the pocket of the farmer in cash. The price does not depend upon quotations in Chicago, New York or Liverpool, but is determined by conditions at home. The sugar produced in our state is of such high quality that it dees not require refining but it is ready for use just as it comes from the factory. I n this respect the beet sugar m*de in .Michigan differs from most commercial sugars. AmericRu machinery and skill have brought the process to such perfection that no refiniug is here required, the sugar as it comes from our factories is fit for immediate use granulated sugar of high quality. Baw sugar requiring refining is not made in our state. I'he process is thus removed from any posibility of a monopoly. Any farmer can raise the beets, and capitalists can put up a iactory for making the sugar. Competition is absolutely free on both sides* No trust i s possible under such conditions; t h e only trust required *s that the farmer ;and manufacturer should trust each other. T o class the beet sugar industry with the sugar trust is absurd. Take these two facts ( 1 ) that the American method enables the manufacturer to turn out refined RU«ar, the only kind sent tint famrour sugar factories, and ( 2 ) beet sugar factories are possible ouly by Vie co-op. gar by the American method, fit tor immediate use as it leaves the factory and needs no refining. This production of sugar for consumption is a fatal blow to the monopoly of the sugar trust. I f we can produce in the factory refined sugar i n sufficient quanity to supply our people, the refiners' occupation is gone. That a natural manufacturing process should thus supplant a grinding monopoly should be a matter of congratulation for our people. The sugar trust recognizes the dangerrand within the- week h a s When Frances Willard was conducting a great campaign in one of the states on the issue of licens e or no-license, a' liquor dealex •Aa*d? t ofowrn !,* o«r •b.y' 8aa«tUl b>o mM orfr T H S MoCAlI.

This reduction of more than 31 per cent in the price of granulated sugar is surprising, but it is a blow at an innocent rival, and not a concession to the general consumer. If the rival i s crushed the old prices will be again imposed. This industry should prosper because: 1. I t is the means by which the people can subve rt a huge monopoly. 2. I t is a legitimate industry, brought to marvelous degree of perfection by American skill and ingenuity, and the people have a right to its full benefits. 3. The large.amount of capital invested which deserves protection Thirteen sugar factories have been erected in our state at a cost of $7,000,000. Next year the number of factories will be increased to twenty. There are now growing 60,000 acres of beets in our state. 4. I t is the money getting crop for our farmers. Last year there were paid to Michigan farmers $1 600,000 for sugai beets. I n Bay county in 1900 the mortgages on fifty-one farms were paid off by money received for sugar beets. The price of farm lauds,, near sugar factories has increased by 15 to $10 an acre. 5. I t is a borne industry, and tne benefits abide with our people. 6.

Dodo is tbe Portuguese name for simpleton, and It is given to the silliest bird that ever lived; Three hundred years ago, when the Portuguese first visited the island of Mauritius, they found a large number of these birds. They were about the size of a large swan, blackish gray in color and having only a bunch of feathers in place of a tall and little, useless wings. More stupid and foolish birds could not be imagined. They ran about making a silly, hissing noise like a goose, rnd the sailors easily knocked them over with their paddles. They couldn't fly, they couldn't swim, they couldn't run at any great speed, and, as for fighting, they were the greatest cowards In the world. They were much too stupid to build a nest and so they dropped an egg and went off to let it hatch as best it could. A Pattl Satire.

All those who expect to die before the year after next will do well to hear the human nightingale on this trip, for Patti never says goodby twice In the same year, and to die without hearing her strike her high two thousand dollar note is to seek the hereafter in woeful ignorance of tbe heights to which a woman with good lungs, a castle in Wales and who only uses one kind of soap can* soar when she tries."

"I am to blame In this matter; or, at least, I was the innocent cause," continued the King of Aleppo, addressing Ben Hadad and Ezabel. "It was I who gave to Horam the evidence upon which he condemned his wife. I supposed the guilt of the lady Helena was positive, as I had the Information from officers who would not lie; and I felt it my duty to acquaint the husband with the circumstances. On my way back to my capital, while stopping in Balbcc, I gained information which assured me that the Queen of Damascus was innocent; and immediately I sent back two of iny officers to convey intelligence thereof to Horam. But those, messengers never, reached their destination. They must have I pursued my course homeward, and amid the duties of my realm, the thing passed from my mind. Yesterday I aaw Horam for the first time in threennd- twenty years; and last evening I revealed to him the fact that his first and best beloved wife, Helena, was wrongfully accused—that she was pure and true^ When t^4s-tguth-bursLupQBhlm, his grief overcame him, and I feared that the shock would kill him."

O, my brother what can I do?" •Do wh*t is right," replied Omar, taking Horam'S outstretched hand. "Be a man, and let the heart assert its sway. Remember that you did the first great deed of wrong; and that all tho other evil has flowed out from that one unfortunate act." The king of Damascus stood for a moment with his head bowed upon Omar's shoulder, and his hand still in Omar's grasps Then he started up< and his countenance had changed, "By the blood of my heart," he exclaimed, "the wrong shall not grow deeper against me! What, ho! Without, there! Slaves!—attend me!" The executioners chanced to be nearest, and they answered the call. v "Bel-Dara, strike those irons from that man's limbs! Strike off every bond, and set him free! If you harm him as much as the prick of a rosethorn, your life shall answer Tor it!" . The executioner stopped to ask no questions—he did not even stop to wonder at tho order; but he proceeded to the work, and in a very few minutes the prisoner was free. Then the king started down fftm the throne, and advanced to where the freed man stood. "My son," he said, extending both his hands, "the truth has come so naked and so plain, that there is no room for doubt; • and I now see that you bear upon your face the features of your noble mother—God pardon me for the wrong I was led to do her! And, my son,—here, in the presence of these witnesses, I ask you to forget the past—I ask' you to be my son— I ask you tb let me be your father;— and then, 6, then, Horam will be no more childless!" Julian had no power to resist the appeal; and as the old king tottered forward the son supported him upon his boBom, and sustained him in the embrace of his stout arms. And yet Julian was not content. Hla face wore etfH a cloud; and there was trouble in his heart What could it mean?" Horam feared that His son could not quite love him.

By A m y Randolph. ojojoo<^jo;o;ojo;o^^ Bentley Grange was a pretty place at all times of the year, but loveliest of all when the reapers were at work in the harvest fields and the yellow light of the October sun turned the woodland paths to enchanted aisles. A long, low structure of warmly tinted red brick, with mullioned windows, velvet-smooth sweeps of lawn and box borders, which gtood-up-Hke-waHs of solid emerald on each side of the path, it had a savor of the antique about it, which one seldom sees in an American houtse. And old Brande Bentley, walking up and down in the mellow sunshine, between the walls of black-green box, with his eyes bent on the ground, and -his-hands clasped behind—his- track," corresponded well with the Grange. Suddenly a cheerful footstep rang on the stone terrace steps—tho sound of a clear, flute-like whistle rose above the click of the distant mowing machine, and Harry Wade, the old man's nephew, stood like an incarnation of youth and sunshine before him. "Uncle," he cried merrily, "you've got the prettiest place in the world here." Mr. Bentley took out his bis, oldfashioned silver watch. "Two o'clock," said he, "and tho bank don't close until four. Humph! It appears to ine, young man, that you don't stick very close to business hours!" "Like a limpet, uncle," said Harry, "and juet for today. Will Caryl has come to act as a substitute, for I really wanted to see you, uncle." "Hunph!" again commented Mr. Bentley. "You're very fond of me— just of late!" "I'm always fend of ycu. Uncle Brande," said Harry, gravely, "but I've something to tell you." "Some scrape you've got into," said Mr. Bentley. "Nothing of the sort, sir!" "Want to borrow money, perhaps!" "Upon my word, no!" "You've fallen in love with some girl, then!" . "You are right this time, uncle," paid Harry, laughing and coloring; "and, of course, I have come directly to you to tell you of my good fortune. It ia little Bessie Bird!" "A milliner's apprentice!" snarled the old bachelor. "If she choos€3 to help her mother along oy trimming hats in her ar.nt'3 millinery rooms, I see nothing derogatory in that," said H-irry, valiantly. "A mere child of seventeen!" "But I don't want an' old lady of forty-seven!" "HumphJ" growled Mr. Bentley. <cWhat do either of you know of life?" "Not much, to.be sure, uncle, as yet,' admitted the young lover, "but we think we can easily learn—together." "And where do you think the napkins and tcbkcloths and bread and butter and rent and water taxes are to come from?" sardonically Inquired Brande Bentley. "I have my salary, IJncle Brando,' said Harry, "and Beasie has been educated to bo very economical." "I'll have nothing to say to such "But, Uncle Brando, all we wart i s — " • .

And the doctor told me, as kindly as he could, that these are but the precursors of total blindness. So, of course, all is at an end between Harry and me. Will you please tell him this?

"Have you been endeavoring^to persuade her to throw me over?" "No, boy—no," said the old man, and he told him all. "I am bound to say that the girl has behaved very well," said he. "Shall you give her up?" "No! Never!" shouted Harry, with pale face and tightly clenched hand. "Never! If she was dear to me before, she shall be doubly treasured and sacred now—my little smitten lamb—my drooping, white lily-bud! I will never give her up while we both live!"

There is a young commission merchant who resides near Darby, aad who is the happy husband of a beautiful wife and father of t w o children. He is, like many other husbands, however, possessed of a memory which occasion-) ally proves a severe trialjfeL i b e - p a - tience of his wife. Recently *he had asked him on several occasions to sena home a bag of potatoes, with tbe usual results—apologizes and excuses o n his return home for his forgetfulness. The other morning, before he left home, Mrs. M. gave him a sealed letter, with the request that he should promise not to open it till he had reached his place of business. Her husband wondered at this, but in answer to all his inquiries she repeated the, request so earnestly that he at last consented. All the way in on the car he thought of his w i f e s strange request, and he had hardly entered his place of busiess when he tore open the letter. This is What he read: "Dear John: For some time past I have thought long and earnestly on what J have to say to you, and I have decided that this was the best metnod to c o m - municate it. I have hesitated several times alxuu writing to you in this way, but I find that I cannot conceal my thoughts longer. I must and will tell you all"—here he turned over the page. his hair rising slowly on end—"the potatoes have been out for a week past. Please send home a bag. I thought by this method you would not be likely to forget."

Much interest is felt in England in the Mond fuel gas, which is made from the cheapest cUss of small coal and dust, known as "bituminous slack." This gas. which is intended for furnaces and gas engines, can, it is iclalmed, be supplied at a cost of four cents per thousand cubic feet. It is •not a lighting gas. as it burns with a pale blue flame, and its heating value re lower than that of illuminating gas, brat greater than most other "producer caves." In the proces3 of manufacture a very large proportion of the nitrogen of the coal is recovered in the form of sulpbate of ammonia, worth nearly two dollars for ev^ery ton of slack gasified.

Another ridiculous food fad has beer, branded by the most competent authorities. They have dispelled the silly notion that one kind of food is needed for brain, another tor muscles, and still another for bones,. A correct diet will not only nourish a partic ular p';rt of the body, but it will sustain every other part.

I was a very great friend of your late dear husband. Yes, yes! Now, have you any little, thing you could let me have to remind me sometimes of your dear departed ? Mrs. Hopple-*-Why, what's the matter with rhe, Mr. Muggins? A ravine In the northeast corner of Yellowstone National park. In Wyo? mlng, It known by those living near by as Death gulch. Grewsome as is the name, It is exceedingly appropriate. It Is a V shaped trench cut in the mountainside and begins about 250 feet above Cache creek. Apparently it forms a natural shelter for the beasts of the forest as food, water and shelter are there, but entrance to tbe gulcb means death to any^ animal, for the poisonous vapors thaY rise out of the ravine are more deadly than the bullets of the huntsmen. For ages this death trap in the Rocky mountains has probably been luring tbe inhabitants of the forest to their doom. With the rains of spring the bones of the dead of the preceding year are carried down to the creek and the gulcb cleared for the death harvest of the summer and winter. The geologists say that the lavas which fill the ancient basin of the park at this place rest upon the flanks of mountains formed of fragmentary volcanic ejects. Gaseous emanations are given out in great volume. These come, the scientists say, from deposits of altered and crystalline travertine mixed with pools in the creek. Above these deposits the creek euts-into-a-baak-ef-} sulphur. In the bottom of the gully is a small stream sour with sulphuric acid. No wonder the poor animals seeking shelter in the gulch meet death there. A Cnrions Trap. A curious labyrinth in which elephants are captured alive is to be seen near Ayutbia, formerly the capital of ^la_m,_jrhe__labyrinth Is formed of a double row of immense tree trunks set firmly in the ground, the space between them gradually narrowing. Where it begins, at the edge of the forest, the opening of the labyrinth is more than a mile wide, but as it approaches Ayuthia it becomes so narrow that the elephants cannot turn around. Suspecting no danger tbe wild elephant enters the broad opening at the forest end, lured on by a tame elephant. The gradual narrowing of the boundaries is not observed until the elephant finds himself in close quarters. Having reached the end of the labyrinth, the tame elephant is allowed to pass through a gate, while men lying In wait slip shackles over the feet of the captives. The sport is a dangerous one, for the enraged elephanlg^some^ times crush the hunters under their A TMltATTLRM f@tEC5 MAGAZINE' feet Preparing For the Work.

Sir Walter Raleigh seems to have had a pretty taste in stimulants, to judge by his "cordial water," the recipe for , which Is copied from a cookbook nearly 800 years old. This is how Sir Walter concocted his favorite drink: "Take a gallon of strawberries and put them into a pint of aqua vitae (brantSy). Let them stand so four or -five-daya. Strain them gently out and sweeten the water as you please.with fine sugar or else with perfume." Queen Elizabeth was exceedingly fond of perfume8, and* according to this old book, her favorite scent was made in tibia manner: "Take eight spoonfuls of compound water, the weight of twopence in fine powdered sugar.and boil it^n,hot embers or coals softly. Add half an ounce of sweet marjoram, dry it In the sun, the weight of twopence of powdered benjamin (benzoin?). This perfume is very.good and sweet for the time." Short* In,a Corner.

Wllaon, retired, who as chief of the corps oi engineers of the war department perfected the plans and arranged the details of the architectural competition for the proposed memorial bridge, wai the first to revive the present merest In that enterprise' by suggesting thai the proposed McKinley memorial arch be made a part of the Washington, end of the bridge. General Wilson knew President Me- Klnley'a great interest in having the bridge built, because of the favorable sentiment It would create in cementing the growing feeling of good will between the north and south. In discussing the matter General Wilson went briefly over the history of the proposition, recalling several interviews between President McKinley and himself relating to the matter, and one in particular, in which the president, when asked to suggest an appropriate name for the bridge, said, "Let it be a monument to American patriotism." After the death of Mr. McKinley and a spontaneous suggestion had been made for. a monument to his memory General Wilson said^the Idea~bf connecting the bridge with that arch at once suggested itself to him as the most appropriate place. . A Conscience Contribution. Secretary Gage has received in an envelope, postmarked New York, Sept 25, 1901, $6,150 in bills of denomina tions ranging from $50 to $500. Thii large sum of money was accompanied only by the following statement: "After much, thought I have beer convinced that duties were not tullj 'paid as desired, difference estimated at about 2 per cent The wish is now tc rectify what was done during some years ago, and amount is being senl which Is felt must be paid to the U. S. |A. treasury to discharge those duties and do the right Above has beeu great grief." No name was signed to this communication. The secretary expresses gratification wjth this evidenceof a citizen's desire to make good former evasions of the law. "There are others," said Secretary Gage, "who would no doubt find it morally healthful to follow this, contftbutor's example. A friend of mine recently landed from a trip abroad. 'I paid, $i,000 duties, on my goods/ he TBald;—T never pa1frnro~mtrcbbefore. This time it was art "honest count" with me. It cost money, but I feel a good deal more respectable.' " The Pan-American Congress. John Barrett, ex-minister to Siam, had a talk with the president about the work to be done by the pan-American congress, which meets at the City iof Mexico Oct. 22. "Reciprocity, international sanitary laws, arbitration and an international court of claims will be the principal subjects discussed by the congress," said Mr. Barrett. "Of these the court of claims Is the most likely to be unanimously adopted, though there is a strong feeling in favor of arbitration. President Roosevelt made a speech up at Minneapolis a few weeks ago while vice president that showed him in perfect accord with President McKinley on reciprocity. We are much pleased, therefore, that as president he stands for the same principles as the man who appointed us to represent the United States at the congress. Better steamship service between United States and South American ports will probably receive some attention from the congress." McKinley'a B a d g e s . , Among the numerous trunks and boxes that were removed from the White House containing the personal effects of Mrs. McKinley and the late president was a wooden box of considerable size filled to the top with campaign and committee badges and ribbons; These are souvenirs of every national campaign' in which Mr. Mc- Kinley was ever a candidate and of his tours while president around the continent While traveling on his presidential trips some local committeemen at each place he visited always pinned a badge or ribbon on his coat and Mr. McKinley preserved these as mementos of his numerous visits among the people. Roosevelt's First Pardon. The first pardon granted by President Roosevelt was one to restore to civil rights William R. Boyle, a deserter from the United States army. Boyle enlisted July 23. 1900, and deserted Sept. 14, 1900. He was convicted by court martial, discharged and sentenced to eighteen months in prison. This sentence was subsequently modified by the general commanding the department of the i-aat to imprisonment to expire July 1. UXn. The secretary of wav recommended that he be restored to civil rights, aud the president signed the pardon.

Machines that handle coins In a wonderful way, counting them and actually giving change automatically, are now' coming on the market. They are hew inventions and have just been patented. One of them has pieces of money arranged in separate compartments In trays, and on top is a series of keys. A purchase ef 35 cents, say, being made, the key numbered 35 Is struck. Instantly the apparatus throws out 65 cents in change, supposing that a dollar has been received from the buyer, a tablet with the number 35 being uplifted at the same Instant and 35 cents added on the register inside. A cashier is In charge of the machine, but the latter does all the thinking. In another contrivance of the kind there is a separate receptacle for each denomination of com up to a dollar. The placing of a com in its proper place sets the mechanism so that when a key is pressed corresponding to the amount of the purchase the difference is thrown out. There Is no bother about counting the change, which Is always right. Other machines which are much more simple are for the sorting of coins ~and~are intended to be used where a stream of small change is continually flowing in. The pieces of money are thrown indiscriminately into a kind of hopper and sort themselves, a performance that saves the cashier an Immense deal of trouble. In one or two cases the mechanism for automatically giving change is combined with the sorting device, reducing the labor of the person in charge very materially and at the same time doing away with all possibility of mistakes In reckoning. off the table, you feel deathly sick at the stomach, and the thing is all over. The sky clears, the crows begin their noisy screams, and things are soon put right again. Thm Chances In Policy. The retired "poke" shopkeeper was explaining- to his interested hearers some of the mysteries of bis former business. "The chances of winnipg at the policy game," he said, "are about like this: You take a bushel basket and fill it with small white beans. Then you put one small black bean Into the basket and shake the lot up. After that go to some 'skyscraper* building, say one about 29 stories high, and place a penny on the'sidewalk in front of It This done, shoulder your bushel of beans and take the elevator to the roof of the building. Then lean over the edge of the roof and. aiming at the cent on the sidewalk below, dump out the beans in the basket all together. Then hurry down on the elevator * and rush out to the sidewalk. If you find that the black bean has fallen upon the penny, you win."^New ^crk Times. Letting; His Hair Grow. When a distinguished If not beautiful foreign pianist came to this country three years ago, his wife was allowed to accompany him on the condition that she keep In the background and not let the fact of her identity be known. She tried to do this, and by keeping to her hotel all day and rarely leaving her room the fact that the player had a wife did not become known. The intention was of course to prevent women from losing Interest in him because he was married. He did not make a success and might have been a Mormon so far as the women paid any attention to him. Now an actor is on his way here with the Alphabetical Abase. • The prosecuting attorney in a law suit had waxed especially indignant at understanding that he" also shall keep the defendant, whom he characterized secret the fact that he is married and as an "abandoned, baneful, cynical, that another member of the company diabolic, execrable, felonious, greedy, ts n iS wife> This is called for in his hateful, irresponsible, Jaundiced, knav- contract, and he has been told by his ish, lazy, meddlesome, noxious, outra- manager that his success here depends geous and profligate rowdy." "The learned counsel on the other side,'r said the attorney for the defendant when he rose to reply, "should have put his adjectives In a hat and shaken them up a little before using. You must have noticed, gentlemen of the Jury, that they were in regular alphabetical order. This shows that he selected them from a dictionary, beginning with 'a.' He stopped at *p,' but in his manner of reproducing them he has given us the 'cue' as to how he got them." This turned the laugh against the other lawyer, anil b^ lost the case. in a large degree on absolute secrecy as to'the facts of his married life. As he is likely to become a matinee hero the manager believes that it must not be known that he is married.—New York Sun. 50 YEARS' EXPERIENCE TRADE M ' .

The entire bed of the lake appeared to consist of salt, and the density of the lifeless water was, of course, very high. t>v«* t h e Halls She Went.

In a w?;!, f urnlahed dressing ro:m, the wlnlo.va betas open tor air. the blinds drawn down to exclude the sun, Etood a lady whose maid -was giving the touch/to her rich attire. Jt was Lady £arah iff ope." "What bracelets, my lady?" asked -the xmid, t i k ' n g a small bunch of keys from hsr pocket. "None, now; it.is so very hot, Alice," Added Lad7. Sarah, turning to a young iady who was tearing back on the sofa, •"have them ready displayed for me "when I como up, and I will decide then." "I b-ve th:ra ready, Lady Sarah?" returned Miss Seaton. "If you v/i.l be- s o H i n d . Hughetv! give the key to Mi&8 Seat on." Lady Sarah left the room, and then I the maid, Hughes, began taking one of the small key3 off the ring. "I have got leave to go out, miss," she explained, "and am going directly. My mother is not wall, and wants to see me. This is the key, miss." As Miss Seaton .took It, Lady Sarah reappeared, at the door. "Alice, you may as welt-briny the Jewel-box down to the badk drawing room. I shall not care to come tip here after dinner; we shatl_.be late as it is." "What's tialWbcut a Jewrl boiTHn-" quired a jpre-.y look.ng g rl, who had come fr:m anoLhcr apiitmeni, ' "L:;rly Sarah wishes-me to bring her bvrcelcts tfewn to the drawing room, thr.t she may chocs3 which to put on. It was too hot.to dine in them," " A T you not coming in to dinner todry. Alice?" , ' No. I w a l k e d out, and it has tired me, as usual. I have had some tea instead." "1 wculd not be you for a'l the world. Alice! To possess so little capability £or enjoying life. No, not even for y;.u, Alice." "Yrt if you were as I am, weak in -h*ait*vand—a!r,ng b, your lot wou'.d have been so smoothed to you that you wouM not repine at or regnet U." ' Y u m e n I shcu'd b** content," laug: ol the young lady." "Well, there ,1s r.oth'ng like contentment, th-3 sage3 tel! us1. One of my detestable school rocm copi2s used to be "Contentment is happiness.' " "I can hear the dinner being taken In," said Alice; "you will be late in the •dining r o m . " As Lady Francis Chenevix turned away.to, fly t'o,vn the stairs, her light, rounded form, her clastic step, all telling, of health and enjoyment, prcsentod a maiked contrast to that of A'ica Seaton. Alice's face was indeed strangely beautiful;, almost too refined and delicate for the wear and tear of common life; but her figure was weak and stoopirg and her gait feeble. Of exceedingly goc-d family, she had suddenly been thrown from her natural position of wealth and comfort to comparative poverty, and had found refuge a s •'companion'* to Lady Sarah Hope. Colonel Hope waa a/thin, spare man, with sharp brown eyes and sharp features, looking s o shrunk and short, that he most have been smuggled into the army under weight, un'ess he had since been growing downwards. N o stranger eould have belkvcd him at ease in his circumstances, any more than they could have believed him a colonel who had seen hard service in India, for his clothes Were frequently threadbare. A black ribbon supplied the place of gold chain, as guard to his watch, and a b ' u e , tin-looking thing of a galvanized ring did duty for another ring on his finger. Yet he wa3 rich; of fabulous riches, people said; but he was of a close disposition, especially as regarded his personal outlay. In his home and to his wife he was liberal. T%hey had been married several years, but had no children, and his large property was not entailed; It was b:lieTwd that his nsphsw, Gerard Hope, would inherit it. but s:m2 dispute had recently . occurred, and Gerard had been turned from the house. Lady Francis- Chenevix, the sister.of Lady Sarah, hut considerably younger, had been paying them an eight months* Tislt in the country, and had now come up t o town with them. Alice Seatcn ,lay on the sofa for half an hour, and then, taking the braceletbox in her hands, descended to the drawing rooms. It W M intensely hot; a sultry, breathless heat, and Alica threw open the back windows, which, in truth made It hotter, t*»r the sun gleamed right thwait the leads which stretched thems2iv;s fceyend the window, over ths out buildings at the back of the row of houses. She eat down near ^he back window and b*ran to put out *onie of the me.

When b:r task was done, Ml3S Seatcn passed into the frcnt drawing room, and threw up one of its large windows. Still there was no air in the room. As she stood at it a hand ome young man, tall and powerful, who was.walking on the opposite side of tb.3 street, caught her eye. He nodded, hesitated, and then crossed the straet as if to enter. "It is Gerard!" uttered Alice, under her breath. "Can he be coming here?"" She walked away from the window hastily, and sat down by the bedecked table-in the ather room. ..._ - "Just a i I supposed!" exclaimed Gerard Hope, entering, and advancing to Alice with, stealthy steps. "When I saw you at the window, the thought struck me that you were alone here, and they at dinner. Thomas happened to be airing himself at the door, so I crossed and asked him, and came up. How are you, Alice?" "Have you come to dinner?" inqulrangry at her own agitation. "I come to dinner!" repeated Mr. Hope. "Why, you know they'd a3 soon sit Sown wlth)tbe~hangmah."~ . "Indeed, I know nothing about it. I was in hopes .ycu and the Colonel might b* reconciled. Why did you come in? Thomas will tell." "No, he won't. I to'd him not.

"Oh, yes; she is £0ln*j t? remain here some time." "To make up fo;'—Alic?, wa3 it not a shame to turn me out?"v •'I was extremely sorry far what happened. Mr. Hope, but I kaew nothing of the details. Lady Sarah said you had di&pleased.the Colcn?l. and after that she nive:- mentioned your name." "What a show of smart thinjs you have got here. Alicz! Are you going to set i:p a bazaar?", "They- a;e Lady S u a h ' s bracelets." "So they are. I see! This is a grem," added Mr. Hop:, taking up the fine diamond bracelet already mentioned. I don't renumber this one." '"It U> now. The Colonel h i 3 just given it to h?r." "What did it cost?" ' D o you think I aru ll;?ly to linow? I question if Lady Sarah heard it herself." "It never cDit a farthirg less than 200 guinea*:," named Mr. Hop?, tuvnin'r the b.acelct in various dlrectians, that its l u h diamonds n i g h t give out thsir gleaming'light. "I wish it was mine."

"Why, no, I had better not under present circumstances, but when the good time comes—fcr all their highroped indignation must and will blow over—then I will! and here's the pledge cf it."

As he drew it open, there stood a lady juet about to knock. She said something to him and he waval his hand toward the staircase. Alice saw that the visitor was her sister, a lady well married and moving in the fashionable world. She met her and took her into the frcnt drawing loom. "I cannot stay to sit down. Alice; I mwst make haste back to dress, for I am engaged to three or four places tonight. Neither do I wish to horrify Lady S^rah with a v'slt at this untoward hour. I had a request to make to you-and thought to catch you before you went in to dinner." "They are alone and are dining earlier than usual. I was too tired to appear. What can I do for you?" "In one word—1 «am in pressing need for a little money. Can you lend it me?" "I wish I could," returned Alice; "I am so very sorry. I sent all I bed to poor mamma the day before we came to town. It was only £25." "That w c u d hava b x a of no use to me; I want more. I thought if you had be?n misering up your salary you might have had a hundred pounds o* so by you." Alice shook her head. "I should be a long whi'e saving up a hundred pounds, ev.n if d ar nmmma had no wants. But I send to her what I can spare. Do not be in such a hurry." continued Alice, as her sister was moving to the door. "At least wait one minute till I fetch you a letter I received from mamma this morning in answer to mine.

Whan aae raturned her sister advanced to her tronv the back drawing room, the fold' Ins doors between the two rooms being a* before, wide open. "What a fine collection of bracelets, Alice!" she exclaimed, as she took the letter. "Are they spread oat for ohowJ!" "No," laughed Alice; "Lsdy Sarah is going,to the opera, and will be in a hurry when she comes up from dinner. She asked me to bring them all down, as she had not decided which to wear." "I llUe to dress before dinner on my opera nights." "Oh, so of course does Lady Sarah," returned Alice, as her sister descended the stairs, "but she said it was too hot to dine in bracelets." "It is fearfully hot. Good-by, Alice, Don't ring; I will let myself out." Alice returned to the front room and looked from the window, wondering whether her sister had come in her carriage. No. A trifling evening breeze was arising and beginning to move the curtains about. Qentle as it was, it was grateful, and Alice eat down in it. In a very few minutes the ladies came up from dinner. "Have you the bracslets, Alice? Oh, I see." - Lady Sarah went to the back room as she spoke, and Btood before the Cable looking at the bracelets. Alice rose to follow her, when Lady Frances Chencvix caught her by the arm and began to speak in a covert whisper. "Who was that at the door just now? It was a visitor's knock. Do you know, Alice, every hour since we came to town I have fancied G:rard m'ght he calling. In the country he could •not get to us, but here—. Was it Gerard ?" "It—it was my sister," carelessly answered Alice. It was not a true answer, for her sister had not knocked, bat it was the readiest that rose to tclottsly proud of bis handsome per* son, his herculean strength, his towj erlng forn& called feonu and^piantad d©wn,.by ttafjdeot a. pretty and noble lady, on purpose that he mlghl" fall in lovm with ho>^Ady » « n « ^ OhjnevUt And yet the well-laid project' failed; failed because there happened to be another at that young lady's side, a sad, oaist, feeble-framed girl, whose very w^akacsa may have seemed to place her beyond the pale of man's love. But love thrives by contrasts and it was the feeble afrl who won the love of the strong man. Yes; the knowledge diffused a strange rapture wi'.h'n her as s^e lay there at night, and she may be, excused if^ for a brief period, she gave range to the sweet fantasies it conjured up? For a brief period only; too soon the depressing- consciousness returned to her that these thoughts of earthly happiness must be subdued, for she, with her confirmed ailments and conspicuous weakness, must never hope to marry as did other women. She had long known—her mother had »«,!.',.«" • M VV.. NHWIW'iW*' juzjtp •, «wf«r her lips, and she wished to escape the questioning. "'Only your sister," sighed Frances, turning to the window with a gesture of disappointment. "Which have you put on?" inquired Alice, going toward Lady Sarah. "These loose fancy things; they are itbe coolest. I really am so hot; the ; e:np was that favcrite eoup oi the colonel's, all capsicums and cayenne, and the wine was hot; th3re Ind baen some mistake about the ice. Hill trusted the new man, and he did not understand it; it was all hot together. What the house will be tonight I dread to think of." Lady Sarah, whilst she spoke, had been putting the bracelets into the Jewel bcx, with very little care. "I had better put them straight," rermarked Alice, when she reached the table. J,Do not trouble," returned Lady Sarah, shutting down the lid. "You are looking flushed and feverish, Alice; you were wrong to walk so far today; Hughes will set them to rights tomor- TOW morning; they will do till then. Lock them up and take possession of the key." Alice did a3 the wa3 bid. She locked tte case and put the key into her pocket. "Here is the carriage," exclaimed "Lady Frances. "Are we to wait for coffee?" "Coffee in this heat," retorted Lady Sarah, "it would be adding fuel to Are. We will have some tea when we return. Alice, you must make tea for the colonel; he will not come out without it. He thinks this weather Just what it ought to be; rather cold, if anything." Alice had taken the bracelet box in her hands as Lady Sarah spoke, and when they departed carried it upstairs to its place in Lady Sarah's bedroom. The colonel speedily rose from the table, for his wife had laid her commands on him to join them early. Alice helped him to his tea, and as •soou as he was gone, she went upstairs to bed. To bed, but not to sleep. Tired as she was, and exhausted in frame, sleep would not come to her. She was living over again her inteiview with Gerard Hope. She could not in her conscious heart affect to misunderstand his implied meaning—that she had been the cause of his rejecting the union proposed to him. It diffused a strange rapture within her, and though she had not perhaps been wholly blind and unconscious during the period of Gerard's stay with them, she now kept repeating the words: -dan If be? can it be?" It certainly was so. Love plays ifllrflufe pranks. Ttuj wai Gerard •Hope, heir to fabulous wealth, conprepared her tor it—that one so afflicted and frail as she, whose tenure- w a s she who returned them to the case; of existence was likely to be short*; ought not to become a wife, and it had been her earnest hope to pass through life unloving and unloved. She had striven to arm herself against the daiF ger, against being thrown Into the perils of temptation. Alas! it had come insidiously upon, her; all her care had been set at naught, and she knew that she loved Gerard Hope with a deep and fervent love. "It is but another cross/' she sighed, "another burden to surmount and subdue, and I will set myself, from this night, to the task. I have been a coward, shrinking from self-examination; but now that Gerard has spoken out, I can deceive myself no longer. I wish he had spoken more freely that I might have told him it was useless." «* es^a«i«2 raf tt^^^^cass/* •a;d-Ance. -*A1T are there except what Ledjr Sarah had: on* You matt-saw rflv^odke*^^; :¾^¾r#-47^ ,;--,- * *t' must be- a great donkey it; J, have," frumbled the girl.

"But ft is NOT," persisted" Hughes, emphasizing the negative; "can't you believe me, miss? What's gone with it?" ^ •"-.. - Alice Seaton looked at Hughes with a puzzled, look. She., was thinking matters over. It tooned cleared again. "Then Lady Sarah must have kept it out when she put in the rest. -It 1 37 CHAFTER IV. It was only towards morning that Alice dropped asleep; the consequence was, that long after her usual hour for rising she was still slej^ing^_The-4-bos bad opening of her door by some one awoke her; it was Lady Sarah's maid. "Why, miss! are you not up? Well, I never! I wanted the key of the jewel box, but I'd have waited if I had known." "What do you say you want?" returned Alice, whose ideas were confused, as is often tb^e case on being suddenly awakened. ' "the key of the bracelet box, if you please." "The key?" repeated Alice. "Oh. I remember," she added, her recollection returning to her. "Be at the trouble, will you, Hughes, to take it out of my pocket; it is on that chair under my clothe3." The servant came to the pocket and speedily found the key. "Are you worse than usual, miss, this morning?" asked she, "or have you overslept yourself?" "I have overslept myself. Is it late?" - "Between nine and ten. My lady Is up, and at breakfast with master and Lady Frances." Alice rose the instant the maid had left the room, and n^ade haste to dress, vexed with herself for sleeping so long. She was nearly ready when Hughes came in again. "If ever I saw such a confusion as that jewel box was in!" cried she, in as pert and grumbling a tone as she dared to use. "The bracelets were thrown together without law or order —just as if they had been so much glass and tinsel from the Lowther Arcade." "It was Lady Sarah did it,'; replied. Alice. . "I would have put them straight, but she said leave it for you." I thought she might prefer that you should do it, so did not press it." "Of course her ladyship is aware there's nobody but myself knows how they are placed in It," returned Hughes, consequently. "I could . g3 to that or to the other jewel box, in the dark, and take out any one thing my lady wanted without disturbing the rest" "I have observed that you have a gift of order," remarked Alice, with a smile. "It is very useful to those who possess it, and saves them frjom trouble and confusion." "So it do, miss," said Hughes. "But I came to ask you for the diamond bracelet." "The diamond bracelet!" echoed Alice. "What diamond bracelet? What do you mean?" "It is not In the box, miss." "The diamond bracelets are both in the box," rejoined Alice. "The old one is there,, not the new one. I thought you might have taken It out to show some one, or to look at yourself, miss, for I'm sure it's a sight for pleasant cyci." * - I did not Perhaps she wore it-last night." / "fto, miss, that she didn't She wore only those two " —^saw-whatehehad ou,"^ tnterrupted Alice. "But she might also have put on the other without my noticing. Then she must have kept it out for some purpose. I will ask her. Wait here an inBtant, Hughes, for, of course, you will like to be at a certainty." "That's cool;" thought Hughes, as Alice went into the breakfast room, and the colonel came out of It with the newspaper. "I should have said It was somebody else who would like to be at a certainty instead of me. Thank goodness It wasn't in my charge last night,, if anything dreadful has came to pass. My lady don't keep out her bracelets for sport. Miss Seaton has left the key about, that's what she has done, and it's hard to say who hasn't been at it; I knew the "Lady Sarah," said Alice, "did you wear your new diamond bracelet last night?" "No." "Then did you put it into the box with the others?" "No," languidly repeated Lady Sarah, attaching ho importance to the question. "After you had chosen the bracelets you wished to wear, you put the others into the box yourself," exclaimed Alice. "Did you put in the new one, the diamond, or keep it out?" "The diamond was not there." Alice stood confounded. "It was on the table at the back of all, Lady Sarah," she presently said; "next the window." "I tell you, Alice, it was not there. I don't know that I should have worn it if it had been, but I certainly looked for it. Not seeing it, I supposed you had not put it out, and did not care sufficiently to ask for it." Alice felt in a mesh of perplexity; curious thoughts, and v^ry unpleasing ones, were beginning to come over her. "But, Lady Sarah, the bracelet was indeed there when you went t:> the table," she urged. VI put it there." "I can assure you that you labor under a mistake as to its being there when I came up from dinner," answered Lady Sarah. "Why do you ask?" "Hughes has come to say it is not in the case. She is outside, waiting." "Outside now? Hughes," called out her ladyship; and Hughes came in. "What's this about my bracelet?" "I don't know, my lady. The bracelet is not in its place, so I asked Miss Seaton. She thought your ladyship might have kept it out yesterday evening." "I have neither touched it nor Been it," said Lady Sarah. "Then we have had>thleveB at work." "It must be in theNwx, Hughes," spoke up Alice. "I laid it out on the table, and it is impossible that thieves —as you phrEsa it—oou'.d have come there." "Oh, yes, it is Ift the box, no doubt," said her ladyship, somewhat crossly, for she disliked to be troubled especially In hot weather. "You have not searched properly Hughes." "My lady," answered Hughes, "I can trust my hands, and I can trust my eyes, and they have all four been into every hole .and crevice of the box." Lady Frances Chenevix - laid down the Morning Post and advanced; "Is the bracelet really lost?"

The horse in regular work will suffer less in his. legs: than another, for he becomes gradually and thoroughly accustomed to what is required of him. The whole living machine accommodates itself to the regular demands on Jt, the body becomes active and wellconditioned without superfluous fat, the muscieffTiird tendons gradually develop. Horses in regular work are also nearly exempt from the many accidents which arise from over-freshness. As a proof of the value of regular exercise we need only refer to the stage-coach horses of former days. Many of these animals, though by no mean* of the best physical frame, ouid trot wijth a heavy load behind for eight hours at the rate of en miles an hour without turning a r, and this work they would conue to do for years without ever beng sick or sorry. Few gentlemen can y as much for their carriage horses. honea, in fact, were la harder conon. On the other hand, if exercise naglected, even for a few days in a orse in high condition, he will put on He has been making daily the ge amount of material needed to ustaln the consumption caused by his ork.

Mr. -Silas Farmer, the welU known authority on Detroit and J Michigan, has just issued a little work which will prove itself indispensable to those who wish to be informed aboutj Michigan. I t is a small volume printed on thin, though opaque paper, but within its 350 pages can be fount! pretty nearly every fact that anyone is likely to care to inquire for concerning our state, and the reputation of the author is sufficient warrant 4or the accuracy of the statements. Under the head of each county will be found an accurate map with the townships and sections marked out. Every farm of 40 acres in the state can thus be accurately located without difficulty. One of the more valuable special points is the population figures of unincorporated villages, som e of them having as high as 3,000 people which are not enumerated in the United States Census. J Another is the careful statementof the amendments to the constitution, showing at a glance not only what the reading now is, but what it used to be. Along with the bock Mr. Farmer is publishing a map of state prepared on paper with cloth back which is likely to supersede all others. Like the county maps in the book, it shows section as well as township lines and indicates accurately not; only railroads but interurban electric lines, the latter in red. It is the only map that shows the whole state, including Isle Koyale, in its proper geographical position. It gives the exact area of cities, and in many other minor matters is a destinct improvement in mfip-making over anything hitherto prepared for the state. It is sure of a wide circulation. "The size of the Map is 35x40 inches, with cloth back. The price both Book and Map is $1.00 Agents are wanted." M Women and Jewels.

They broke and disappeared ou all sides, but the two laughed and kept up the game, she smiling down and he gazing upward eagerly. "Behold, a parable!1* said a man to a woman. "The eternal relation of the sexes! You blow beautiful bubbles down to us from your height, and we weary ourselves in trying vainly to catch them. Poor little boy!" The pair played and laughed in the sunshine until the boy grew tired. He called out "Goodby!" gaj'ly and ran away to play with other boys and girls in the street. Tbe girl looked after him wistfully, a shadow on her face. She did not care to blow bubbles auy more. She leaned out to watch him, and as she did so she tipped over the bowl of soapy water. She looked very lonely. "Behold, a parable!" said the woman to the man. "He has- tired of the game; not she.

' • • '••'• W "A. HABBBMAA8, M. O., ( ' r ., \ Lector*? oa Anatomy, Marion Sims-Beaumont College of Medicine, . St. Louis, Mo. • Some time ago my attention was called to an entirely new bed-spring devised on the simple principle that a piece of wire when crimped and put on the stretch gives up a certain amount of slack, retaining, however, a certain amount of its orignal crim# when the tension has been * removed. This amount of resiliency contained within the crimp of the wire is utilized a\"spring," and by combining such strands of crimped wire a bed spring is obtained which is simple, smoothe and pliant, but possesses a wonderful amount of resiliency and strength because of the test to which each strand of wire has been subjected. The accompaning cut shows tee arrangement of the strands o£ crimped wire and the simplicity of the spring. The arrangement of the crimps transversely gives each strand of wire a certain amount of torsion spring, while the resiliency contained in the longitudinal arrangement of the strands gives the required longitudinal spring. A device for retaining adjacent strands in situ prevents any excess of torsion in the crimps, thereby insuring a smoothe surface to the spring, where the body may rest supported wi thout irsepular pressure upon any portion, inasmuch as the spring conforms completely to the contour of the body. It is this smoothe property of the spring surface, aided by the great strength and resiliency of a spring deprived of all slack, which I desire to emphasize. Any small thickness of cover, the thickness of one or two ordinary comforts, is sufficient to protect the skin from the contact of the wire, so that a mattress is altogether superfluous. Mattresses are altogether unhyigenic articles of sick-room equipment. Sheets, blankets, quilts, etc., are being constantly changed and cleansed; but the mattress must do service for a prolonged period of time; and yet the mattress is frequently soiled with the excretia of patients. Since there is no need of the "unhygienic" mattress, the body is clbseftbthe resilfent-Bpring, and here the real advantages of the bed spring are realized. Only a slight effort is required by the patient or nurse to effect a change of the patient's position; since there is no sagging or forming of pockets in which the patient lies helpless, but the resilient vis A TERGO is ever ready to assist the patient to a shift of position. The spring and not the mattress conforms to the contour of the body, so that the body pressure is opposed by by a resilient surface. This facilitates the many almost impreceptible shiftings of position which the body undergoes during sleep, so that there is no numb member to inform the body on awaking that it was pocketed during the night Prolonged confinement to bed invariably causes a pocketing of the mattress and a consequent difficulty of changing the position of the body. In time the prolonged pressure bearing upon certain exposed parts, aided by the natural moisture of the parts, produces a maceration of the tissues with pressure necrosis. These so-called bed sores can be absolutely avoided when the body position is frequently changed, as can be readily done with the new bed spring. No other bed spring possesses these features—smoothness of surface and pliancy coupled with great resiliency and strength. Woven wire springs contain too much slack, with complete loss of resiliency and consequently soon become little better than hammocks. Spiral springs are rough of surface, with more resiliency than the woven wire springs; the*y also sag in places subjected to prolonged pressure, because of the imperfect resiliency contained in the individual spirals. In the new spring, known as the "Surprise Bed Spring," there is smoothness of surface with complete resiliency, thus eliminating the objections offered to other bed springs. Patients universally dread the bed in summer because of the body heat which the bed clothes absorb and retain. A comfortable mattress soon conforms to the body, and its heat-retaining properties are soon felt. Fever patients should be kept as cool as possible, and any device calculated to favor elimination of heat should be, employed if practicable. Hydrotherapeutic measures, so generally indicated under the oircumstances, frequently wet the mattress,, rendering them objectionable to the patient However, where one or two quilts can be substituted for a mattress, as can be done when the Surprise Bed Spring is utilized, no more hesitancy need be had than if a sheet or blanket is wet W here evacuation of bowels and bladder occurs spontaneously there is no soiled mattress left in the bed as a possible carrier of infection. JOB WORK A « f « * I.**Xm.,V99 "l»,'«P" x * - * * Issued w h e n promised a t t h e DISPATCH OFFICE, / In all oases where th» neoes^y c^maTiipulatirtg tbepsHent may arise, as in typhoid fever* puerperal and anrgical cases, et<r., by tb^^tiliBation of the new spring we shall advance, a great atep in the uiaiiagemeni of C^T and praotdpftUy. " , - A-practical advantage poesewed by this spring, and one calculated to put it in general use, is the fact thai it may be utilised for couches or cots as well as beds. Heretofore the spring used for this purrxwe was a woven wire spring. Because of the "sagging" qualities of this spring the intelligent physician hesitates advocating the use of the cot in any serious illness; and because the spiral spring is not adapted to this use the bed has usually been employed. The strength and resiliency of the Surprise Bed Spring, together with its simplicity and ease of manipulation, make it an ideal spring for a cot or couch. In an aggravated form of typhoid fever in which I recently used such a couch, the comfort derived by the patient when taken out of the hot bed was- especially gratifying. If a mattress is used in connection with this spriug its advantages over other springs lie chiefly in its resiliency, which prevents pocketing of the mattress, and in its greater strength and durability. But the fact that an expensive matteress can be dispensed with, and that the spring is less expensive than any other spring on the market, places it within the reach of the poorest household. "This is spectacular, but is enpainless and calls for no gerat T w o Clrcns Feats. "A great deal of unnecessary sympathy Is wasted upon the circus man who stands up proudly in spangled tights and lets another circus man bring down .a sledge hammer upon a rock placed upon his head with force enough to break it," says an old circus man. tirely strength or endurance. Upon the cranium of the strong man is put an iron contrivance weighing about 150 pounds and provided with cushions both above and where it rests upon the bead. A pretty good sized rock is used, and the hammer is a heavy one, so you can see that the blow that cracks the rock is really a serious one. But most of the force is taken up by the rock and the rest by the Iron and cushions, while the only sensation felt by the subject is a gentle tap. "No more difficult than this is the act whereby the hero of the canvas tent permits a rock to be broken upon his chest with a blow from a sledge hammer. So long as the subject's back Is free and does not rest against any solid object the tripk is perfectly simple. A little illustration: Take a board up and let It lie freely In your hand and hit It smartly with a hammer. It is difficult to hurt your hand, and the thicker the board the less the sensa: tion. But now put your hand on the table and hit the board. Hurts, doesn't it? Well, it's the same with the rock on the chest." The Mistake of the Polar Bear. Ifordenskjold found vthat the whits bears generally went through a long performance of stalking his sailors, clearly on the mistaken conclusion that they were seals. As the men were clothed partly in sealskin, it was a very natural mistake. But the interest of the story lies in the generalization made by the bear. The bear said: "There are two or three seals, one standing up ou its flippers in a very unusual way. I will therefore stalk them unseen as long as I can and when they see me pretend to be doing something «lse." So the men, with their guns and lances, who wanted to shoot the bear had" the pleasure of seeing him carefully crawling behind rocks and ice hummocks, making long detours this way and that and every now and then clambering up a rock and peeping cautiously over to see if the seals had gone. On the open snow the bear would saunter off in another direction and then, falling flat, .push himself along on his belly, with his great front paws covering his black muzzle, the only thing not matching the snow about him. Just as the bear thought he had got his "seal" the latter tired and shot him, a victim of false analogy. —Spectator. - * ^ - ..&«.' »•'.' • • . , i' i • " .

A study of mediaeval rural life is apt to give the impression that the principal part of the life of the people was spent in quarreling or in the commission or prosecution of offenses. Our ancestors certainly were a very litigious and a very disorderly people. The records teem with instances of men and women drawing knives against one another, of breaking Into houses, of prosecuting one another for slander. Then we have such entries as these: "It is ordained by common consent that all the women of the village must refrain their tongues from all slandering." "Thomas, son of Robert Smith, is fined 12 pence because his wife Agnes beat Emma, the wife of Kobert, the tailor, and Robert, the tailor, sixpence because his wife Emma swore at Agnes, the wife of Thomas." "It is enjoined upon all the tenants of the village that none of theto attack any others in word or deed, with clubs or arrows or knives under penalty of paying 40 shillings." Such entries, frequently occurring, in addition to tbe innumerable instances of Individual attack, slander, petty theft and other immorality seem to show a community of far from perfect virtue.—Linpinoort's.

I underwenta treatment for catarrh, for three months, without any success, consulted a num. ber of physicians, among others, the most eminent ear specialist of this city, who told me that onlv an operation could help me, and even that only temporarily, that the head noises would then cease, but the hearing in the affected ear would be lost forever. I then saw vour advertisement accidentally in a Kcw York paper, *n& ordered your treatment. After I had used it onlv a few days according to your directions, the noises ceased, and to-dav, after rive weeks, my hearing in the diseased ear has been entirely restored.

W i n H e M o r d e r e d f There seems to be considerable mystery surrounding the death of Louis N. Von Guenten. the old German from Chatham, who was found lying on the sidewalk In Detroit early last Sun day morning with his neck broken. It was at first supposed that the old man fell against a telegraph pole at the corner and broke his neck, but eye-witnesses who saw him fall say he did not strike the telegraph pole at all, but fell in a heap before he reached the pole. The fact that Frank Baumgartner. the saloonkeeper, who has been Von'Guenten's fast friend for more than a quarter of a centurv, aud who was tile last one of his acquaintances to see him alive, savs that Von Guenten had considerable* more money on his person than was found by Coroner Hoffmann, leads to the suspicion that the aged German might have been held up and robl>ed. To strengthen this theory, his railroad ticket from Detroit to Chatham is missing. He is known to have had this in his pocket an hour before he was found unconscious.

BY ETHEL M. COLSON. (Copyright, 1901, by Daily 8tory Pub. Co.) The trolley car which had been dashing along toward Chicago stopped suddenly, held upon a suburban street corner by the inevitable coal wagon with a tendency to break down. Franklin Atherton gazed Idly at the earnest group of Salvation Army workers on th6 other side of the street. Suddenly in a momentary cessation of the ponderous drum-beats * clear, sweet, feminine voice faltered out softly: "Ah! I h%ve sighed to rest me Deep in the quiet grave/' The rest of the words were surprising Salvation Army adaptations of the most characteristic type. But Frank- Hn-Atherton never heard them. With a bound he had reached the side of the singer—the girl whom he would have asked to become his wife long ago but that he feared to face poverty with her. He had not seen her for nearly two years. "Margaret! How came you with these people?" The girl looked at him gravely. "When your world—the world which w a s mine also until my father died t n d left me penniless—found no time or space or attention for me I turned to the world in which men and women work instead of play. N o t knowing They saved my life—and soul. Now I am trying-to save others." The gong of the trolley clanged out at the moment. It seemed like a summons to "another world. left bJm-auddenur, and h* sank <te>w* ^ _ ^ . .... . . upon t h e ;enrbgtoa*. sobbing, ^ j * .

An Englishman at a dinner once told a tale of a tiger he had shot which measured twenty-four feet from snout to tail-tip. Everyone was astonished, but no one ventured to insinuate a doubt of the truth of the story." Presently a Scotsman told his tale. He had once caught a fish which ho said he was unable to null in alone, managing only to land it at last with the aid of six friends. "It was a skate, and it covered two acres." Silence followed this recital, during which the offended Englishman left the table. The host followed. After returning he said t o the Scotsman: "Sir, you have insulted my friend.

The careful packing of butter has a good deal to do with the fostering of the butter trade whether that trade be with a few private families or with large commission houses. This matter has been frequently referred t o in these columns, and without doubt some improvement i s being made. The commission men report that the manner in which butter is put up helps or hinders them in making sales. A creamery that h a s a reputation of neatness in packing finds itself sought not only by the commission men, but by large grocers that want an article that looks w e l l This mat* ter of looks i s especially important i n butter that goes to the homes of t h e wealthy. They will form opinions on the looks of things. Two packages of butter may be similar in quality, but if one is put up i n better style than the other the buyers are prejudiced in favor of that package, and t h e eaters, if they have seen the package, will actually imagine that the butter Is of better flavor. This helps sales. Chase of Suspected Robber.

Exports t o China are beginning t o resume their normal proportions. The July figures of t h e Treasury Bureau of Statistics show the total exports to China from t h e United States aa $2,- •£2,475, against $1,349,697 i n Jury. 1900. In t h e 7 months ending with July, 1901, t h e total exports to China are $9,703,787, against $9,100.1*2 In t h e corresponding 7 months of t h e preceding fiscal year. . Taking t h e ex* ports to the British and Russian possessions i n China also, t h e total for the 7 months Is $10,090,816, a s against $9,294,930 In t h e corresponding period of last year.

Ferris Wheel Park, Chicago, Nov. 4th.—Capt A. H. Bogardus, the champion wing shot of t h e world, has spent the summer here. Hi3 shooting school has been one of t h e features of the Park during the season. He has given many exhibitions and his skill with the rifle i s superb. The Captain tells of a very close call he once had when liv ng a t Elkt a r t 111. Ha had b?en a suff-rer from Kidney disease for several years and i t rapidly developed into Bright's Disease. All h i s friends told him that this was incurable and that h e would never get better. To say that he w a s alarmed Is t o put It very mildly. This plucky man had faced many dangers and It mads him sick a t heart t o think that a t last he was to be conquered by such a cruel foe. At last b e heard o f a medicine that had cured many such cases-^Dodd's Kidney Pills. H e used them and was completely restored t o good health.

Write For Prices And Particulars Ffnckney Dispatch, f Flrtoltney, Mich. f f*f P'f W? Wf # J#VqtV4iWff?#? Pound PoolUhneaa. One of the commonest forms of pound foolishness is countenanced by many high authorities. This is.the purchase of certain household provisions In large quantities. Few writers on domestic topics fall to lay Btress upon the economy of buying groceries in bulk. That sugar and flour, potatoes and apples should be bought by the half or whole barrel, cereals by the case, butter by the tub and other things in like proportion Is one of the early precepts in the "Young Housekeeper's Complete Guide to Domestic Economy." The ignorant young things buy the provision^first and the experience afterward. The flour grows musty, the cereals develop weevils, the potatoes and apples rot long before they can be eaten, and the cook exercises a lavishness in the use of the butter and sugar she would never show were they bought In such limited amounts that the housekeeper could hold close watch over them. Even after these events the young mistress feels as if she were absolutely reckless and no manager at all when she so far departs from household law as to buy food In small quantities.— Independent. Pointers. L o n e l i n e i * and H e a l t h . A medical journal has of late been discoursing on the Indigestion of loneliness. ,Hy this title is meant to be Indicated the disorders of digestion which are believed to follow the practice of taking one's meals in solitary state. The topic is by no means an uninteresting one. Thousands of men and women living alone are compelled to take their meals for the most part without company. Week in and week out they feed themselves without a soul to talk to, and the medical journal devotes its energies to showing that the practice is not one that is likely to be conducive to (Wgestion, to proper bodily nourishment or to health. The solitary man soon tiros of merely eating, and, if .he is not of a literary turn of mind, his tendency Is to hurry through his meals to escape from his loneliness Into the society of his fellow men. Herein, it is held, lies a danger to health. Discovery of Coal la Wale*. During the reign of Henry VIII. many attempts were made to discover coal in north Wales, and a Shrewsbury man, named Richard Gardner, was the only person who succeeded. The old records read: "He attemptyd and put Into proofe to fynde out coles about the town (Shrewsbury) in sooudry placys, and in one place especiall callyd Kmatine Hny<\ hard by the nayrt towno. he found by his great dyllgence and troball great store of see cole, the which Is lyke to come much coinmodltie bothc to the riche and poore, that he Is not only worthy of commendacon and mayntenance, but also to be had In remembrance for «vcr."—Cardiff Western Mall.

"You are sure you put It out Alice?" : **l am quite sure of that It was lying first in the case, and—" "Yes, It was," interrupted Hughes. "That was its place." "And consequently the first that I took out," continued Alice. "I put It e a the table; and the others around a\ near to me. Why, as a proof that is lay there " What was Alice going to add? Was aha going to adduce as a proof that Gerard Hope had taken it up, and it had been a subject of conversation between them? If so, recollection came to her in time, and she faltered and abruptly broke off. But a faint, horrible dread, to which she would not give shape, came stealing over her, and her face turn d w h t \ and, she on a chair trembling visibly. "Now look a t Alice!" uttered Fran- Chenevix; "she is going into one of her agitation fits." "Don't allcw ycu s>lf to b3 agitated, Alice," cried Lady Sarah; "that will do no good. Besides, I feel sure the bracelet is all safe in the case; where else can it be? Fetch the case, Hughes, and I will look for it myself." Hughes whisked out of the room, inwardly resenting the doubt cast upon her eyesight "It is so strange," mused Alice, "that you did net sae the bracelet when you came up." "It was certainly not there," resumed Lady Sarah. "Perhaps you will look for yourself now, my lady,'' cried Hughes, returning with the jewel box in her hands. The box was well searched. The .bracelet was not there. "This is very strange, Hughes," ut- ?fered Lady Sarah. *It*s very ugly, as well, my lady " ...answered Hughes, in a lofty tone, "and I'm thankful to the presiding -geniuses which rule, such things that I was not in charge when it never wou*4 have taken place, for I can give tunate Gerard Hope had bracelet Do as she would aha conld not put it from her; she kept reseat* ing that he was a gentleman, that ha was honorable, that he would place her in so painful a posittcn, mon sense replied that the was laid before him, and he had fessed his pecuniary difficulties to ha great; nay, had he not wished for thai very bracelet—that he might money "f J"» 'i* ?&Ms&&j&mti^ * .-- ^ T h e y were in ray charge, and onse t them has been abstracted.

"Hughes, you are wrong," interrupte d Alice. 'The servants could not have touched the box, for the key never was out of my possession, and you know the lock is a Bramah. I locked the box last night in Lady Sarah's presence, and the key was not out of Tny pocket afterwards until you took i t from thence this morning." •"The key seems to have had nothing to do with it," interposed Frances Chenevix. "Alice says she put the dla- • o n d bracelet on the table with the treat; Lady Sarah says when she went t o the table after dinner It was not there; so it must have been in the intervening period that the—the—disappearance took place."

"What an untruth!" thought Lady Frances, as she remembered the visit ««f Alice's sister.

"Believe me, she is not the guilty party," returned Alice, "and I have more cause to say so than yon think for." "What do you mean by that?" briskly cried Lady Frances. "You have no clue?" Alice shook her head, and her panion'8 eagerness was lulled again. "It is well that Thomas was forgetful," remarked . Lady Frances. "Was it really forgetfulness, Alice, or did yon contrive to telegraph him to he silent?" "Thomas only spoke the truth. At least, as regards my s st?r," she hastily added, "for he did not let her in.** "Then it is all quite easy, and yon and I can keep our own counsel.** Quite easy, possibly, to the mind of Frances Chenevix, but anything hot easy to Alice, for the words of Lady Frances had introduced an idea more repulsive and terrifying even than the one which cast the guilt to the deor of Gerard Hope. Her sister acknowledged that she was In need of "a hundred pounds or so," and had seen her coming from the room where the jewels lay. take a bracelet! It was Preposterous or not, Alice's was doubled. Which of the two been the black sheep? One of them It must have been. Instinct sisterly ne» lationship, reason and common all combined to turn the scale Gerard. But that th^re shcnld he doubt at all was not pleasant, t Alice started up impulsively her bonnet on.

"But you know you were In the drawing rooms all the time, and n o one came into them, suspicious or nnv suspicious; so how wi I that aid year?* "True," murmured Alice, "hat ft will be a relief to go somewhere or an something."

My poor child, I would rather help you to Jewels than take thorn from you." "But look at the mystery." "It does appear to be a mystery/but it will no doubt be cleared up. Alice, what could you have been dreaming of to suspect me? Have we not grown np together in our honorable home? Yon ought to know me if any one does." "And you really know nothing of it?** moaned Alice, with a sobbing catching of the breath. "indeed I do not In truth I do not If I could help you* out of your perplexity I would thankfully do it. Shall I return with you and assist you to search for the bracelet?" "No thank you. Every search has seen made." Not only was the denial of her sister fervent and calm but her manner and countenance conveyed the impression of truth. Alice left her inexpressibly relieved, but the conviction that it must have been Gerard returned to her in full force. "I wish I could see him!" was her mental exclamation. And for once fortune favored her wish. As she was dragging her weary limbs along he came right upon her at the corner of a street. In her eagerness she clasped* his arms with both her hands. "T am so thankful,** she uttered. "I wanted to see you." "I think you most wanted to see a doctor, Alice. How ill you look!" "1 have cause," she returned. "That bracelet the diamond that you were admiring last evening—it has been stolen; it was taken from the room." "Taken when?" echoed Mr. Hope, Tasking her full fn the face—as a guilty man would scarcely dare to look. "Then, or within a few minutes. When Lady Sarah came up from dinner it was not there." "Who took itr* he repeated, not yet recovering his surprise. "I don't know," she faintly said. "It was under my charge. No one else was there."

Sir Michael Hicks-Beach', chancellor of the exchequer, in a speech at Bristol reviewed the war taxes and said that the ever-increasing demand of the national exchequer gave reasons for careful thought and even anxiety for the future.

Day* set apart # r thanksgiving were known in Europe before the Reforj& atlon. and were in frequent use by Protestants afterward. But the • w t New England Thanksgiving was not a. day of religious observance, but . a day of recreation. Edward TV.nslow writing December 11, 1621, to a friend 4* England, says: "Our harvest s bein* gotten In, our governor seat four men out fowling so that we might, after a spa h i S A n r, rejo ce together after we had gathered the fruits of our labors. The four killed as jaiicb fowl, as with a little help beside, served the company about a week. ~ At which times among our recreations we exercised our arms, many of the Indians coming amongst us, and among the rest their greatest king, Masaasoyt, with some ninety men, whom for three days we entertained and feasted, and they went out and killed five deer which they brought and bestowed on our governor, and upon the captains and others." As Governor Bradford recorded that during; that autunn "beside water fowl* ther was great store of wild turkies," the Pilgrims fared better at their Thanksgiving than their English cousins, for turkeys were not plentiful in England at that date. The Indian visitors Joined In the games. These recreations were doubtless competitions in cunning, leap nj, Jumping [and perhaps* stool-box. Frpbsnly the women of $fae colony had Itttte time to Join in the recreations as the four women,' with the help of one servant, and a few young maids, had to prepare and cook food for 120 hungry men. There is no record of any special religious service during this week of feasting. On February 22, in 1680. the first public thanksgiving was hed in Boston by the Bay staTeTcolonv-itr gratitude for the safe arrival of ships bearing food and friends. On November 4, 1631, Thanksgiving day was kept again in Boston. From that time till 1684 there were i t least 12 public thanksgiving days appointed i n Massachusetts, Rhode Island and Connecticut People do not stem to have celebrated Thanksgiving in the early days. In Connecticut the festival was not regularly observed until 1716. Thanksgiving was not always appointed in early days for the same token of God's beneficence, nor was It always set upon Thursday or for. any special aeason, but the frequent appointment in gratitude for bountiful harvests finally made the autumn the customary time. When the festival of Thanks became annual i t assumed many features of the old English Christinas. In the year 1677 the first regular Thanksgiving proclamation was printed. Neither ebiiiaware nor earthenware was plentiful. in early days, although earthenware Is mentioned in early inventories. The table furnishings consisted largely of wood* en trenchers. The time when America was settled was the era when pewterware and a set of "garnish" of pewter was a source of great pride to every colonial housekeeper. A universal table furnishing was the porringer, which was usually of pewter. When not in use these were hung by their handles on the edge cf the dress* er shelf. *-wr 3 mmm As interesting discovery has Jag* been made by a Portugal savant, jg, fcattovdo VaaconceHos hat found la a lorgotteft WM»u*rtpt a T«nr'aaateat poem, the existence' of which was known, but which was thought to has* been Jost The poem, compeoea la honor of Salute-Fay d'Agon* contains S»8 stsosaa.

Larroque, in Comtes Rendus, states that, being attracted by the peculiar effect thunder storms at a distance, of many miles often have upon persons afflicted with certain nervous diseases long before any Instrument now in use indicates any atmospheric disturbance. It occurred to him that Hertzian waves emitted by thunder storms might possibly be transmitted over enormous distances through the middle and higher atmospher by some means analogous to relays. In order to test his idea he constructed a receiver made of a horizontal plate of zinc 40 cm. in diameter, earthed by a thin copper wire containing a spark gap located in a dark cellar. With this device, in June, 1901, he made several series of nocturnal observations. In one of them the manifestations coincided with the blizzard in the Grampians, and in another with the thunder storm which on the night of June 18 was visible over Corsica, the sky being serene in both cases where the observations were made. M. Larroque points out the importance of this character of meteorological observation, but ventures no explanation of the cause of the transmission of Hertzian waves over such-enormous distances. —Philadelphia Times.

Smith of Pontiac was in Lansing Monday to look at thelocal postoffice proposition. He didn't express his opinion, but several others did. To a Journal reporter Mr. Smith said: "One of my main objects in coming here is to agitate the matter of a suitable rural delivery; aUo looking into the matter of good roads. The better the roads the quicker the delivery. I would like very much to inaugerate a system which is now in use in Marylaud cf delivering by automobile. There a horse can go 27 to 30 miles a day, an automobile can go 100 miles, and, of course, can reach just that many more farmers. But that is all in the air yet The farmers along the line of the trolley road, between Ann Arbor and Detroit, with few exceptions, have placed their names in large letters on boards in front of their" homes. It is proving of great convience to the conductors and passengers of the trolley cars. It is hoped the farmers between Friends of the canteen are not aliitle taken by General Miles' advanced position concerning liquor in the army. While the General was conserative in his statement at the time the law was passed, he has watched its beaeficient results during the ten months of its operation, and now openly declares that desertions in the army have decreased and that drunkenness and general disord* erliness have not prevailed to any such extent as they did when the canteen existed. If the measure comes up before our next Congress, as it undoubtedly will, General Allies will give his strong testimony to the value of the law, as it now stands. The Reform Bureau urges temperance people submit to their congressmen or to President Roosevelt a brief note, with their signatures to the words 'I agree with General Miles when he says: *I don't believe the present law should be repealed until it has been given a fair trial.'

Significant glances - were exchanged by the potato pIcKers during 11 few days, and Bill's operations at the sorting machine and his brief conferences with the sack sewer kept the gang Interested. "I'm gittln' kinder anxious 'bout the ole man's seed spuds, fur, if you'll notice, the sacks with the biggest bulges runnin' down the sides are decorated with a bowknot of manila twine," said one of the digger drivers, as he started out on one of the endless rows, turning up the mellow earth and the great, smooth potato which only Colorado can produce. Behind him came a score of pickers, who gathered the potatoes In baskets and poured them into the sorting machine run bj BUI. The sack sewer, armed with a huge needle and a ball of manila twine, brought up the rear of the procession. '•An' If you'll notice," continued the digger driver, as be came back half an hour later to begin another row, as tf his mind had dwelt upon the one thought during the interval, "them same bowknotted sacks are disappearin' in the direction of the cull cellar. Bill's up ter somethln', an' we'd better „ hang aroun' pretty tol'ble close when It comes ter windln* up the Job. We might hev ter take a punch at some of them Juseks ter help Bill carry out his plans." The job was finally concluded and the potato gang prepared, to move to the next ranch. They usually made their hegira in the night In order to save time, but the men had worked like heavers, all day In order to finish by ing a etoaa-eecond, but there seamed to be aaHun«onacionabla amount of adjustment necessary to the harness of the six horses hitched to the cookhouse and to the complicated machinery of the diggers.

"ISee them 'ere bows, Jusek," called BUI. as they drove by the houses, where the old man stood rubbing bis hands the prize milliner of the val-. ley, BUI," shouted one of the pickers. "Nuthln' like a touch of art tc?r bring top prices." said- B1H, jubilantly. "Now, them 'ere spuds'U bring just a dollar an' a half more a huhderd on account of them bowknots." The complications in the harness of the cookhouse teams and in the machinery of the diggers adjusted themselves as if by magic and the procession moved off merrily. .

At Visnes 1 spent a happy night answering the questions of nervous travelers who came from hour to hour to see If the fire escape in my room was working properly.

This programme waa carried out, and when he reached the club the prof easor related the incident tor a friend as evidence of hia wife's unvaual sagacity. The friend greeted the story with a roar of laughter. "And wh# my dear professor," he said, "did you not almply admit your wife, lock the door from the outside and come away?' •True," ejaculated the learned man of science; "we never thought of that" The cUmax of the Incident was reached an hour later when, returning home, the professor discovered that the lady in her excitement had thrown out the wrong key. .

The lawyer held the book In front of him, glanced at it two or three times and then coughed as many times in rather an embarrassed manner. Everybody waited" for several seconds.

It Is as if at) the tree* and grass on land were first eaten by locdsta or white ants and the locjiats and white ants were then eaten by eemtcaroivorotts cows and sheep, which were in turn eaten by true carnivora. The water weeds, both when living and decaying, are eaten by the entomoatraca, the entomostraca are eaten by the larvaa of Insects, the perfect Insects are eaten by the fish and the fish are eaten by men, otters and birds.

When we say that a person la "as fast aa a porpoise," we hardly associate a quick rate of swimming' with that individual, yet he and everybody else would like to be able to get through the water as rapidly. Porpoises have been seen to dart round and round a steamer traveling seventeen mUes an hour, thus proving their capacity to swim at a greater rate than that. The dolphin may be placed on a level with the porpoise, bat the bonito has occasionally been known to approach forty miles for short distances. Herrings, in shoals, move steadily at a rate between ten and twelve miles; mackerel swim much faster, and both trout and salmon go at a rapid pace when migrating up a stream for spawning. Whales are not fish In the scientific sense, but it is interesting to note that these monsters swim at a rate of sixteen miles an hour when excited, although their ordinary speed is estimated at between four and five miles. who porcbaaea of us, two 25c botea of Baxter's Jfcadrake pittera T{ if it fails to cure aoaati pation, b|Kooenesa, siok-headacbe, jaiMKHaa, loss of appetite, soar stomach^ dyapepstf liver complaint, or any ot the diseases for which it is recommeaded. .

H e r Chef Froia^PsWilr. "An American woman," says the Boston Journal, "who lived In Paris was famous for her cook. Her dinners were popular and celebrated, and the conversation was largely a tribute to the chef. The day came when she should return to the United States. Could the cook be persuaded to go with her? 'What! Leave Paris? Neverr But she offered him a salary that was incredibly, preposterously high, and he went with her. "She had hardly settled her house when she gave a dinner party that she hoped would be sensational. Not one dish was fit to be eaten. The hostess, almost hysterical, after the gloomy meal was over rushed to the kitchen to find out whether the cook's art was a matter of Parisian atmosphere, and then, and only then, she discovered that her famous chef had never cooked a dinner for her In Paris; that he bad got it all from a world famous boulevard restaurant" d u r a * * t o C h a n c e a d o m r t e r .

Juliet's "What's in a name?" might be asked regarding the vessels of the British navy which have borne the names of reptiles. It is said that four Vipers have been wrecked, the last of the name but recently, and a Cobra t'town: still more lately has broken in two and gone to the bottom with officers and men. Also four Serpents, three Lizards, two Snakes, one Alligator, one Crocodile, one Rattlesnake, one Basilisk, and two Dragons—which are not reptiles—have at various times met with disaster. British tars, it is said, have a superstitious feeling of dislike against sailing in vessels bearing such names. Lucky or unlucky, the names are needlessly disagreeable. Italy and Austria have just agreed to take a step unprecedented in modern history. At the end of August the pope promulgated a Bull transferring from the administration of the Dalmatians to that of the Croatlans the charitable institutions known as St Jerome's, which has a capital of £80,- 000. The institution had belonged to the Dalmatians for five centuries. Much bitterness was created, and several serious conflicts occurred bstween people of the two nationalities. The question has now, happily, been solved, the two governments having agreed, after cordial negotiations, to establish the brevious condition of affairs and consider the papal bull as non-existent. President Harper, of the University of Chicago, recently received the following letter from a prospective girl student at Pecaton'ica, 111.: "Dear Mr. Harper—I know you will be pleased to learn that I have decided to attend the university "School of education this fall. 'I am going to Chicago next Saturday on the morning train, and as I have never been in the city before I would be glad if you would meet me at the station. I am five feet four inches tall, have light hair and eyes and a pleasing appearance. I shall wear a dark brown traveling skirt and a blue waist, with white yoke. I think I shall know you from your pictures, but for fear I make a mistake will you please wear youi card in your hat?" OWOMO Shocked. Owpsso citizens were shocked Saturday by a ease of depravity worthy of the slum of n great city, the discovery being uvide by a police officer who stumbled on It by mistake. Iu a Cass street flat one room was found to contain a dead baV, whose mother was doing her best .o attend to the care of a sick man, who lay on a squalid bed Iu another corner. The woman gave her name as Mary C. Johnson, and the man said he was John Reynolds. The woman does not claim to be married, but stoutly asserts that Reynolds was not the father of the child. The babe wiU be burled by tho id Reynotdtr and the woman will both receive competent core. Both the people are young and the girl strikingly handsome. They are not kuown here, although they have been living together in the flat for several mouths. Ex-Speaker Adami* Trial. Judge- Wiest has ruledthat the Cir* cult Court practice will not i>ennlt hin-j to summon a special jury at thU time for the trial of ex-Speaker Adams, which Is set for one week from Monday, as requested by the attorneys for the respondent. It Is prouable, however, that all the jurors on the present panel may be excused for cause when they are called to the jury box, all having been present during some portion of the rratt trial. This will necessitate tue summoning of talesmen, and will result practically iu the drawing.of a new jury.

Mr. Chamberlain ebiuplnlned of pains in the stomach and chest while oh the train, and upon his arrival in Chicago went immediately to the hotel. Dr. Bills feared, that -something serious might happen, so he arranged to sleep in the same room. The warden,was, still feeling badly and the doctor sent for some whisky for him. Mf. Chamberlain gasped and died a few minutes after taking It. The Wiseman Trial. The Pontlac court room was crowded Saturday nt the opening of Henry Wiseman's trial for the murder of Mrs. Ellen Huss. The most noticeable feature of the case Is the demeanor of Wiseman. He appears to bo on the verge of a breakdown In health, and viewed the witnesses, especially Robert Hale, with an air of wild fear. His attorney. William North. Is taking advantage of every possible, point to B»4«tord Elevator Buraetf. The Botsford grain elevator in Port Huron burned Monday night. During the progress of the Are, Chief Thorns of the • fire department had a leg broken while trying to save the office building of the elevator. It is thought he is internally injured. In the elevator were 270,000 bushels of groin, and for hours to come the fire will be smoldering. The elevator plant was valued at ¢110,000, and the entire loss is estimated at $250,000.

Recently Principal E. C. Mead had occasion' to whip a pupil and was informed by the school board that he had exceeded his rights. He appealed to County School Commissioner* Yost and was fully sustained In the action he had taken. The United States of America, the United States of Brazil, the United States of Mexico and the United Setates of Venezuela appear among the names of the countries represented at the Pan-American congress in Mexico. This shows how widely our federal plan of government as well as our style of naming it has been adopted in the New World. The use of the word "state" in this way has often been regarded as slightly inaccurate. The word state originally signified a body of people united under one government, whereas we use the term to describe one of the divisions of our country; but whatever rhetorical inaccuracy we may have committed has evidently been overwelghed, in the minds of our imitators, by the success of our "great experiment." Perhaps now that Eng!and has designated as "states'* the several parts of the .-ustralian commonwealth, the "Americanism" has become good English. Xevr V«e for Efrjr*.

In Mayor Hart's inaugural address of January, 1900, "the most important requirement for the Boston public schools was pronounced to be that of "additional school accommodations." Since that time a special "Boston school house commission" has been created, with authority to spend $1,- 000,000 for new school houses the present year and $3,000,000 more within the next few years. The commission proposes to spend this money for "the best sanitary buildings that skill can devise," but as a means of providing temporary relief it has built fortythree* portable school houses of a type experimented with last year. These buildings are of wood and can be taken to pieces easily and moved. They are properly warmed, well lighted, and are often located in the yards of crowded school buildings, the sanitary arrange* menta of which are then available. They have not entirely-jjiaplaced rented room*, but they are regarded as generally eoperior to the latter both from the standpoint .of .economy and of tocommodellone. Mra.

"I dare say," he agreed, getting up and brushing off the clinging straws. "If this strikes you as so lugubrious, let's go elsewhere." "Not at all. I find this delightful." "A lot of dead things together?" "Oh, well, you will find that everywhere. Among the haunts of men it is dead hopes, impulses and energies, and in the by-ways of nature " "It's dead bug3 and beetles. I wish you wouldn't talk that way, I tell you it troubles me. People do not see death with their eyes unless there is sorrow in their hearts. It would hurt me more than I can tell you to think that you were unhappy." She locked at him for a moment with clear eyes. "Don't trouble yourself," she said, and smiled. "I'm not a stricken deer, yet" He sat down beside her. "I hope you never will be," he said after a long pause, "but you are bound to fall in love some day. You wouldn't have been given such glorious eyes unless It was intended that they should be lighted up. "Now, I wonder," she murmured thoughtfully, "it that could be called a compliment.

"Well," he said, turning around with a smile, "we must not keep the ideal waiting. I had better take you home.

Wasn't it Cicero who enlarged so upon the desirability of knowing one's self?" "Do you know what you are saying?" The flush leaped from the tips of her ears to spread over face and neck. She turned back and made an uncertain step toward the river only to find him in front of her. "Did you mean it?" "I wanted to have another look at the river," she explained with engaging frankness. "Perhaps you did. But you are going to tell me something first " "No; I'm not. Not a thing. I have told you too much already."

Revised returns show that the Ohio republicans gained almost everywhere except in Columbus, where disaffection over some of Gov. Nash's appointments and local option caused great democratic gains, and in Cleveland, where factional fighting and Mayor Johnson's crusade on 'taxation were made distinct issues, a i in Franklin county, liquor men won. The result continues the republican power In the state, making an epoch of 12 years In succession, and it ensures the re-election of Senator Foraker. The republican plurality exceeds the average of 53.000 for the last ten years, or since the first election of McKlnley as governor, which has been termed the greatest republican era in Ohio.

Schmitz is the leader of an orchestra in a local theater, and also secretary and manager of a machine shop. He has heretofore been known as a republican. The republicans elect the auditor, sheriff, tax collector, treasurer, county clerk, public administrator and six supervisors. The democrats will have the balance of the city offices. The union labor party elected three supervisors. P e n n s y l v a n i a . The result in Pennsylvania is that Frank C. Harris, republican, has been elected treasurer over Elisha A. Corny.

The Russians are getting ready for an emergency, which meant a war with Japan, and are increasing their navy and putting their army i n nghttng eondition with great energy and at great expense. The army has recently been completely reorganized and provided with new equipments. The Russian* unloaded 1,000,000 rifles of obsolete pattern upon the 'Chinese government and substituted new one* of long range, high power and small caliber. Those were Russian guns which the Boxers fired at the British embassy in Peldn during the recent siege. Russia has 22 first-class battleships, 12 armored cruisers, 11 first-class cruisers, and 196 torpedo boats. The lowest estimate of the peace strength of the. Russian army under the present reorganization flnce January 1, 1001, is 42,000 officers and 1,100,000 men, and the war footing cf 75,000 officers and 4,500,000 men, which is a million more than the present numerical strength. When the vessels now under construction are completed the Russian navy will be increased by 113 ships of all classes, including 24 battleships, 23 cruisers, >41 gunboats, 35 torpedo boat destroyers and 45 torpedo boats. Fifty submarine boats are also under construction. AN HONEST NAME, An Illinois Statesman Telia a Good Story—Knew 111« Fathor'a Son Would Not U « . The Honorable Alva Merrill of Chillicothe, member for the Twenty-fourth District, State of Illinois House of Representatives tells an interest]Dg story: Some two years ago Mr. Merrill gave a testimonial stating that Dodd's Kidney Pills cured his rheumatism. This with Mr. Merrill's portrait were published in thousands of papers all over the United States. On the train returning home from Springfield one day last winter were the Honorable Mr. Merrill and several other members. After a time one of them said: "Merrill, what time do you get to Chillicothe?" Thi3 attracted the attention of an old man who had been apparently awaiting some identification of Mr. Merrill and as soon as he heard the name he rushed up to his seat and extending his hand said: "You are Alva Merrill and you saved my life. I was most dead with Lumbago and in an advertisement I saw your picture and your recommendation of Dodd's Kidney Pills. I knew your father, and I knew his son would not lie. and therefore I decided to try the Pills. "I am satisfied that Dodd's Kidney Pills and nothing else have saved my life and I have been waiting this opportunity to thank you personally, for had I not seen your recommendation I might never have been led to use this remedy, but, thanks to God, through your honest name and the honest medicine which you so heartily recommended I am still alive. "I have been watching you since you got on the train at Springfield and thought I recognized your face as the one I had seen in the advertisement, and at soon as this gentleman called you by name, I knew you were the man I had to thank." 1 1 1 1 i Cigar Trast Invades Oalov The American Cigar company, a trust organised under the laws of New Jersey, was qualified by Secretary of 8tate Laylin at Columbus, 0., to do business In Ohio.

About twenty-five years ago there was a young sailor who, by dint of hard work, integrity of character and firmness of will, reached at the age of - twenty-five, the summit of his ambition— becoming master of what would then be called a good sised steamship, some 000 tons register. Upon this accession to good fortune he married the girl of his choice, who had patiently waited for him since as boy and girl sweethearts they parted on his first going to sea. And with rare complacency his owners gave him the inestimable privilege of carrying his young bride to sea with him.

He took np the shilling and tried it in the little brass coin tester that was screwed to the side of the counter. Then he tendered it again. "It's quite good," he said. "I can't bend It"" Sandow smiled and took it between his finger and thumb. "You can't bend Itl May I try?" be asked. "Certainly," said the man, with a grin.

Then at Venice came orders to proceed to Galatz and load wheat for home. Great was the glee of the girl wife. She would see Constantinople and the Danube. Life would hardly be long enough to recount all the wonders of this most wonderful of wedding trips. And they sailed, with hearts overbrimming with joy as the blue sky above them seemed welling over with sunlight. Wind and weather favored them; nothing occurred to cast a shadow over their happiness until, nearing Cape Malea at that fatal hour of the morning, just before dawn, when more eolllsioos occur than at any other time, they were run Into by a blundering Greek steamer coming the other way, and cut down amidships to the water's edge. To their peaceful sleep or quiet appreciation of the night's silver splendors succeeded the overwhelming floed, the hiss and roar of escaping steam, the suffocating embrace of death. In that dread fight for life all perished but one—he so lately the happiest of men—the skipper. Instinctively clinging to a piece of wreckage, he had been washed ashore under Cape Malea at the ebbing of the scanty tide, and his strong physique, reasserting Itself, enabled him to climb those rugged battlements and reach the plateau. Here he was found gazing seaward by some goatherds, who. In nimble footed flecks, had wandered Cad wells, down the precipitous side of the moun-! tain. They endeavored to persuade! ^ " " ^ ^ him to coiue with them back to the world, but in vain.

I left the room when you did, but I only lingered on the stairs watching—if I may tell the truth—whether you go out safely, and then I returned to i t Tet, when 'Lady Sarah came up from dinner it was gone." "And did no one else go into the iroom?" he repeated. "I met a lady at >the door who asked for you; I sent her upstairs." { "She went in for a minute. It was my sister, Gerard." i "Oh, Indeed, wag that your sister? ,Then she counts as we do for nobody in this.. It is strange. The bracelet was in the room when I left It •* i "You are sure of it?" interrupted Alice drawing a long breath of suspense. "I am. When I reached the door I turned round to take a last look at you, and the diamonds of that particular bracelet gleamed at me from its place on the table." j "Oh, Gerard! is this the truth?!' I "It is the trnth, on my sacred word of honor," he replied, looking at her agitated face and wondering at her words. "Why else should I any it? Good-by, Alice, I can't "stay another" moment, for here's somebody coming I don't care to meet" . ' He was off like a shot, but his words and manner, like her sister's, had conreyed their conviction of innocence t o the mind of Alice. She stood atill, looking after him in her dreamy 'wonderment, and was Jostled by the 3>aa*er8-by. Which of the two was the -real delinquent? One of them must have been. leads—as did all the row of houses. The officer seemed to t a h a j n the points of the double room at a glance; the door of communication, its ttwo doors opening to the corridor outside* and its window*. He looked at t h a ^ latches of the two entrance doors, and he leaned from the front windows, and he leaned from the one at the back, He next requested to see Miss Seaton, and Lady* Sarah fetched her—a. deli* cate girl with transparent akin* end looking,almost too weak to walk. She was in a Visible tremor, and shook ae she stood before the stranger. He was a man of pleasant manners and speech, and he hastened to assure her: "There's nothing to be afraid of. young lady," said he, with a broad smile. "I'm not an ogre; though I do believe some timid folks look upon us as such. Just please to compose your* self and tell me as much a s you can' recollect of this." "I put the bracelets out here," began Alice Seaton, laying hold of the table underneath the window, not more to indicate it than to steady herself, for she was almost incapable of standing. "The diamond.bracelet, the one lost, I placed here," she added, touching the middle of the table %t the back, "and the rest I laid out round, and and before It." i*i)*<mS O* **** nmi'mm+limfrm'+m 11»fromdinner, how long vaf:i|f?

A little man was striding about his library with impatient steps.

But Colonel Hope, large as were li& coirers, never spentupon { fet, and, not soolng it, I supposed Miss himself a superfluous farthing, especially in the way of personal adornment; and Colonel Hope would not 'have felt too warm, cased in sheepskins, for he had spent the best part of his life in India, and was of a chilly nature. The Colonel had that afternoon been made acquainted with an. unpleasant transaction which had occurred }n his house. The household termed it a mystery; he, a scandalous robbery; and he had written forthwith to the nearest chief police station, demanding that an officer might be dispatched heck with the messenger to investigate i t So there he was, waiting for his return in impatient expectation, and occasionally halting before the window to look out on the busy London world. The officer at length came and was introduced. The Colonel's wife, Lady Sarah, Joined him then, and they proceeded to give him the outlines of the case. A valuable diamond bracelet, recently presented to Lady Sarah by her husband, had disappeared in a singular manner. Miss Seaton, the companion to Lady Sarah, had temporary charge of the jewel box, and had brought it down the previous -evening, Thursday, this being Friday, to the back of the drawing room, and laid several pairs of bracelets out on the table ready for*Lady Sarah, who was going to the opera, to choose which she would wear when she came up from dinner. Lady Sarah chose a pair, and put herself, the rest back into the box, which Miss Seaton then locked and carried to its place upstairs. In the few minutes that the bracelets lay on the table the most valuable one, a diamond, disappeared from i t "I did not want this to be officially Investigated; at least, not so quickly," observed Lady Sarah to the officer. "The Colonel wrote for you quite against my wish." "And so have let the thief get clear off, and put up with the loss!" cried the Colonel. "Very fine, my lady." "You see," added her ladyship, explaining to the officer "Miss Seaton is a young lady of good family, not a common companion; a friend of mine, I may say. She is of feeble constitution, and this affair has so completely upset her that I fear she will be laid on a sick bed." "It won't be my fault if she is," reported the Colonel, "The loss of a •diamond bracelet, worth two or three hundred guineas, is not to be hushed tip. They are not to be bought every -day, Lady Sarah!" The officer was taken to the room -Whence the bracelet disappeared. It was a back drawing room, the folding doors between it and the front standing open|*ftd the back window, a Jarg* e n v i s a g i n g out upon some flat "It was worth more than any of the others, I believe/' interrupted the official. "Much more/' growled the Colonel. The officer nodded to himself, and Alice resumed: "I left the bracelets and went and sat down at one of the front windows " "With the intervening doors open, I presume." "Wide open, as they are now," said Alice, "and the other two doors shut Lady Sarah came up from dinner almost directly, and then the bracelet was not there." "Indeed! You are quite certain of that" "I am quite certain," lnterpohed Lady Sarah, "I looked for that brace- Seaton had not laid it out I put on the pair I wished to wear and placed the others in the box and saw Miss Seaton lock i t " "Then you did not miss the bracelet at that time?" questioned the officer. "I did not miss it in one sense, because I did not know it had been put out," returned her ladyship. "I saw it was not there." "But did you not miss It?" he asked. "I only reached the table as Lady Sarah was closing the lid of the box," she answered. "Lady Frances Chenevix had detained me in the front room." "My sister," explained Lady Sarah. "She is on a visit to me, and had come with me up from dinner." "You say you went and sat in the front room," resumed the officer to Alice, in a quicker tone than he had used previously. "Will you show where?" Alice did not stir; she only turned her head towards the front room, and pointed to a chair a little drawn away from the window. "In that chair," she said. "It stood as it stands now." The officer looked baffled. "You must have had the back room full in view from thence; both the door and the window." "Quite so," replied Alice. "If you will sit down in it, you will perceive that I had an uninterrupted view, and~ faced the doors of both rooms." "I perceive so from here. And you saw no one enter?" "No one did enter. It was impossible they could do so without my observing i t Had either of the doors been only quietly unlatched, I must have seen." "And* yet the bracelet vanished!" interposed Colonel Hope. "They must have been confounded deep whoever did it; but thieves are said to possess slight of hand." "They are clever enough for it, some of them," observed the officer. "Rascally villains. I should like to know how they accomplished this." "So should I," significantly returned the officer. "At present it appears to me incomprehensible." There was a pause. The officer seemed to muse; and Alice, happening to look up, saw his eyes stealthily studying her face. It did not tend to reassure her. Your servants are trustworthy; they have lived with you some time?" resumed the. officer, not apparently attaching much importance to what the answer might be. "Were they all escaped convicts, I don't see that it would throw light on this," retorted Colonel Hope. "If they came,into the room to steal the bracelet, Miss 8eaton must have seen them." •"Prom the time you put out the bracelets to t-at of the ladies coming' a magistrate and teatify {hat ah* her aelf, was the guilty person, it ceadd /scarcely have affected her more. Her cheeks grew white, her lips parted, and her eyes assumed a beseeching look of terror, l a d y Hope hastily pushed a chair behind her, and drew her down upon it. "Really, Alice, you are very foolish to allow yourself to be excited about nothing" she remonstrated; "you would have fallen on the floor in another minute. What harm is there in taking an oath—and in a private room? You are not a Chartist, or a Mormon—or whatever the people call themselves, who profess to, object to oaths, oh principle:" The officer's eyes were still keenly fixed on Alice Seaton's, and she cowered visibly beneath his gate. "Will you assure me, on your sacred word, that no person did enter the room?" he repeated, in a low, firm tone, -which-somehow carried her to the terrible belief that he believed that Bhe was trifling with him. She looked at him, gasped, and looked again; and then she raised her handkerchief in her hand and wiped her damp and ashy face. "I think some one did come in," whispered the officer in her ear; "try and recollect." And Alice fell back in hysterics. Lady Sarah led her from the room, herself speedily returning to it. "You see how weak and nervous Miss Seaton is," was her remark to the officer, but glancing at her husband. "She has been an invalid for years, and Is not strong like other people, I felt sure we should have a scene of some kind; that is why I wished the investigation not to be gone into hurriedly." "Don't you think there are-good grounds for an investigatlon,-sir?^-tes- •MOTMHit>*MlM*Nttf(jB BP 4*e«fcf Oifr for Oaert-CefcM, -*A| o«*ward vePUiQ»i|en^oty J| ehiijdtiou^ # m*w*i more effective than syrups, cough mixture, tw«?#jrt m , timj^ because It ^ pe^tr^ei^ «$ro^h ^ the >.**•<* cause, which 1*. u a rule, an accumn* lation, ft master ^growth tighter adhered to the broAjohiAl tubes. ."; : St 'Jacobs Oil possessing as it does those wonderful / penetrating powers, enables it to loosen, these adhesions and to induce, tree expectoration.

"I must confess I do think so," was the reply. "Of course, you hear, my lady. The difficulty is, how can we obtain the first clue to the mystery." "I do not suppose there will be an insurmountable difficulty," observed the officer. "I believe I have obtained one." "You are a clever fellow, then," cried the Colonel, "if you have obtained it here. What is it?" "Will Lady Sarah allow me to mention It-^-whatever it may be—without taking offense?" continued the officer, looking at her ladyship. She bowed her head, wondering much. "What's the good of standing upon ceremony?" peevishly put in Colonel Hope. "Her ladyship will be as glad as we shall be to get back her bracelet; more glad, one would think. A clue to the thief! Who can it have been?" The detective smiled. When men are as high in the police force as he, they have learned to give every word its due significance. "I did not say a clue to the thief, Colonel; I said a clue to the mystery." "Where's the difference?" * "Pardon me, it is indisputably perceptible. That the bracelet 1B gone, is a papable fact; but by whose hands it went, is as yet a mystery." "What do you suspect?" "I suspect," returned the officer, lowering his voice, "that Miss Seaton knows how it went" There was a silence of surprise; on Lady Sarah's part, of indignation. "Is it possible that you Buspect her?" uttered Colonel Hope. "No," said the officer, "I do not suspect herself; she appears not to be a suspicious person in any way; but I believe she knows who the delinquent Is, and that fear, or some other motive, keeps her silent Is she on familiar terms with any of the servants?" "But you cannot know what you are saying!" interrupted Lady Sarah. "Familiar with the servants! Miss Seaton is a gentlewoman, and has always moved in high society. Her family is little Inferior to mine, and betterbetter than the Colonel's," concluded her ladyship, determined to speak out (To be continued.)

Those who objected to high taxes for road improvements last spring and summer may find themselves more heavily taxed with bad roads than if compelled to pay cash to the collector. I n some portions of the state the farmers are almost blockaded when heavy snows fall or the frost is leaving the ground. More benefit is derived from road taxes than from any other sums expended J foy #ie community. | I wisljijrou iiroul^, give me «r dollar, dear" remarked Mrs. B i k d a d AS she poured t h e • evening coffee and sweetened it to i h e exact taste of her husband. " A dollar!" exclaimed Mr. Bildad, pausing in his work of carving off the choicest b i t of porterhouse for himself.. " A dollar! W h a t on earth do yon want with a dollar? I gave you 75c day before yesterday. "What did yon do with t h a t ? " "Spent it," replied Mrs. Bildad. "Of coarse you spent it! You can't keep money. I wager yon spent it foolishly, too." "Perhaps I did, dear. I bought 6 yards Of 3c calico to make me a wrapper, and 2 pairs of 10c stookings for little Hen-y, and a ball of darning * twine and a spool of thread, aud a paper of needles, and a postage stamp to write to mother, and 5c handkerchief for Susan, and a pad of note paper to write letters on, and a bunch of envelopes. I t took 10c for car fare and I dropped a penny in the box of a poor blind man on the corner." "Um-m-m! Well I guess that's all right, but it seems to me that one pair of stockings would have been enough for H e n r y . " "But what would h e do while I was washing that—?" "Please'don't argue, Mrs1. Bildad. What do you want with a dollar?" " W e received notice today that our subscription to the Pinckney D I S P A T C H has expired, and I do so waut to keep it. I t is—" "Well we'll have to Jet it drop. Times are too hard to pay out a dollar a year for a paper." "But it, is such a good paper. I t keeps us posted on all the events of the town and county, and the children read it with pleasure." "Let 'em learn the news from me. I cau't afford to speud a dollar for newspapers now. Times are too hard. I don't take auy stock in teaching the children to read the village gossip and all that sort of things." " B u t the D I S P A T C H is such a clean paper and it is so newsy t h a t 1 do^want t h e children to read it. Besides I enjoy it BO much and so full of news that—" "There ain't no use talking, Mrs. Bildad. I can't afford it. We'll have to let it drop. That's the end of the matter now." Mrs. Bildad sighed and remained silent during the rest of the evening repast. Presently Mr. Bildad folded his napkin, shoved his chair back from the table and arose. Reaching into his pocket he pulled out a 10c cigar and calmly lighted it. I t was his sixth for the day. Then he reiched for his hat, ".Where are you going, dear?" asked Mrs. Bildad. "Down town a little while. I'll be back early. D o n ' t bit u p for me." Then Mr. Bildad rode down town aud spent 5 hours and $1.75 playing billards. But, really, times were so hard he could not afford t o take a paper that was interesting and a benefit to his family. w. & T. y, Edited by **• W. 0. T U.ftf Pii*kM? i , * « H HE TEE qCIUT 8TEANGE1. BY NOBLE X. EBEEHABT. MjgsdJ^h* wwfc of the long. Then, strafgtening up like a manj with a lo£& of determination ou his fape, he strode firmly oat into the night. Back along the quiet streets to the old church-yard he went with rapid strides. At last he paused beside a newly-made grave—that John LedyarS wandered slowly of Nancy. His and disconsolately in *he s3m<>st^ete be bof«# 7¾¾ TXueovered deserted street. It was all over. Nancy, his long suffering wife, had passed beyond the reach of earthly trials and afflictions. How: getber wity their first l?orn. Uncle Sam will within a few weeks put a new coin in circulation, which will b e a departure from all rules and usages in American coin&ge. T h e need of a three cent piece has been realized ever since the old piece, so near like a dime, disappeared from circulation, and the government has mot the occaflsion by the adoption of the Chinese idea, making the coin witn- ft hole In the center. I t ' hnt fl>vv r e m a i n e d has been nicknamed the "dough- John Ledynrd sat as if stunned vividly the past came back to him now. Nancy and he had been schoolmates in t h e old days. T h e youthful love had ripened when he led blushing Nancy to t h e alter. W h a t a glorious future had seemed to open before him. I t was t h e old story. T h e temptations; the first glass: the growing appetite; and finally the drunkard's curse. * O n e b y o n e o £ their three children had died through the workings of this same dread curse. Still the faithful wife clung to turn; ever laboring and ever hopeful: but now, she, too, was gone. 'With the feejing of despair came the desire t o drown ic all in drink. Quickening his pace be soon entered a saloon. Several glasses were drained, but such was the nervous excitement he was laboring n n d e r that the pain in his heart would not be stilled. While t h u s engaged, all eyes were attracted to a plainly dressed stranger who entered the room. Tall and erect was his bearing, and on his face an expression so kind, so mild, as scarcely to be mortal. B u t why was he h e r e ? Interfering with no one, he sat down quietly in a chair at one of the tables. I n answer to the waiter's inquiry,, he shook his head quietly, but firmly, and continued to sit there as lost in thought. Many were the strange speculations of the men as to whom he was, whence he came, and what was his mission. But still he s a t there, seemingly unconscious of the attention he was attracting. Men ceased their carousing to stare at him. At last, when there was a momentary hush in the room, he arose and mounting a table stood forfc moment looking upon his surroundings. Immediately every eye was fixed on him. Then with his face looking down upon the men like some messenger frotn the Omnipotent, he commenced the old song^ "Long, Long Ago." His voice was singularly rich and clear and as the mellow notes rose and fell, the crowd seemed to rise and fall with them. "Where are the friends that to me were so dear, Long, loug a«o, Ion?, long ago: Where are the hop s that my heart used to cheer, Long,long ago, loug ago. Friends that T loved in the grave are laid low. Hopes that I cherished t\ave fled from me now. I am degraded, for rum was my foe, Long, long ago, long ago. "Sadly my wife bowed her beautiful head, Long, long ago, long, long ago; Oh! how I wept when 1 found she was dead, Lonu', long ago, long ago. She was an angel, my love ant1 my pride, Vainly to save me from, ruin she tried. Podr, broken hearted, 'twas well that she died, Long,long ago, long ago. "Let me look bad. on the days of ray youth, Long, long ago, long, long ago; I was no stranger to vlrtuo and truth, Lcng, long ago, lorng ago, Ob, for the hopes that were pnre as the day, Oh, for the love that was purer than they, Oh, tor the hours that I've squandered away, Long, long *&o, long ago. When the last word died away, the stranger bent his head for a" moment in silent prayer. Tears stood in the eyes of many of the men as tney bowed their heads. Then, as quietly and unostentatiously as he had come, t h e Strang er glanced slowly around, stepped down and passed out. . One by one the men followed him until bead in long and'fervent .prayer, the first thai had escaped his lips since Nancy and he had knelt to- It was not easy to keep the vow he made that night. Many and long were the struggle's against temptation! and often when he was almost yielding came back the remembrance of the quiet stranger, and the words of the old song, which gave him new strength and courage. M Women and Jewels. Jewels, candy, flowers, man—that is th«» order of a Woman's preferences. Jewels form a magnet of mighty power to the average woman. Even that greatest of all jewels, healtfh, is often ruined in the strenous efforts to make or save the money to purchase them. It a woman will risk h<*r kealtb to get a coveted gem, then let her fortify herself against the icsiduous conse- • • v quenceg. of coughs, colds and bronchial affections by the regular use of Dr. Booschee's German Syrup. It will promptly arrest consumption in its early stages and heal the affected lungs and bronchial tubes and drive the dread disease from the system, It is not a cure all,but it is a certain cure for coughs, colds and all bronchial troubles.

My grandmother, says Mrs. Gillespie In "A Book of Remembrance," was a woman with a keen sense of humor and a ready wit. She was awakened one night by a noine in the room. Sitting up in bed, Rhe saw a rat eating the candle which stood In the chimney place. She aroused lier husband, who said sleepily: "My dear, there is no rat; It is conceit." "Very well, Mr. Beech, then it is con. ceit with four legs and a tall." Sleepy as be was, this witty speech drew my grandfather from his bed, and the rat's doom was sealed.

Trexler, at KuUtown, Fa. Before his death he provided that every man attending his funeral should have a free dinner, and ~QraHs1^d¥sand persons ^valtedthemgelves of his offer at the two leading hotels, where arrangements had been made to feed the multitude. Harry Mangum and Jim Robinson, two colored men, disputed over a game of craps in Jackson, Tenn. Mangum drew a pistol and Robinson fled, pursued by the other. After Mangum had fired two shots he fell dead, from heartJjgere ou" the best of terms, she think disease. The intended victim is regarded with awe, and it 1B believed he was saved by a providential miracle. "Don't watch the clock," was Mr. Edison's advice to a young man who recently asked him how to succeed. Profoundly significant is that old joke about the laborer who left his pickax hanging in the air at the stroke of noon. A hanging pickax is the fittest emblem for a confirmed clock-watcher —and the pickax hangs always in the air, never digs out a path for him to advance upon. Earl Fitzwiliiam of England, who began his 87th year a few days ago, has sat forty-four years In the house of lords and received his training as a parliamentarian in the house of commons, which he entered sixty-five years ago as.a young man of 22. The earl, who is active in spite of his great age, has been for some years the oldest of the Knights of the Garter, which decoration he received from Lord Palmerston early in the '60s, and he is also in years the oldest knight companion, although he has not held that decoration as long as the Duke of Cambridge, who received his blue ribbon from William IV. When is a cigarette not a cigarette? When it is a pipe. The answer to the conundrum was given by English magistrates., The taking of a tobacco pipe into a certain mine was prohibited. A partly smoked cigarette was found in a workman's pocket. The man was arraigned and fined. The judges held that a paper charged with tobacco was a pipe within the meaning of the rule.. It was an instance of applied common sense. Human life is of more value than literal construction. The petty court was merely iU lustrating a working principle observed In tribunals of a more august organization and a larger jurisdiction. The American boy is ahead of the English boy, in the judgment of Sir Thomas Llpton, because he gets a better chance to show what is in him. In America the managers of large concerns are often very youthful. In England their youth would be a disqualification, since there a man must look old before he is thought to look wise. Sir Thomas believes that to be "a great error of policy in the affairs of a nation, a business firm or a family." He himself came to this country when he was fifteen years old. He declares his experience here "the best commercial training I ever had," and holds that "it would be a good thing to send every English boy to America when he is seventeen, and to keep him there for a couple of years." This is generous and even flattering to us, but Sir Thomas' countrymen may find a flaw in the argument, reasoning from their point of view—that after the English boy had been here two years they might not be able to get him back.

The report of the Tutted States lake survey engineers of the meim depth of the great lakes for the month of October shows that Lake Superior has gone down in one year almost half a foot; Lakes Michigan and Huron, about a little over one-tenth of a foot, and the two latter lakes have pained but a very small fraction over the deplh of 189«"), when tho water was very low over these lakes.

Early Saturday morning burglars blow up the safe in the Dearborn posrotttce and got away with something over ¢100 in money besides a considerable amount of stamps.

It was to be a grand secret; not a soul but members ... „_ _ _ , _ _ _ , _ . . of the society should know a word of m a ,M YirasF- * •ff^Sw zXT"9 m w " W I U ' ' At the close of the business meetffitNKSGMNG The good people of the church at Elmville had decided that something must be done, and at once. The treasurer, a young man, who had recently come to the village, had made a financial statement that October Sunday morning, upon which certain persons felt very much scandalized. Such a thing had never been done before— not even thought of; then it revealed the fact that the Reverend Wesley Norwood had received but $51.75 for six mor-ths of faithful service. "I don't believe in bringing up such matter in the religious services of tbe church," growled Brother Cook, who always protested that it was a waste of money to pay the minister so much salary. "I quite agree with you," responded Mr. Barnes. He was not a member of the church, but attended because it was a respectable thing to dc~-gave you standing. "If these things most come up every Sunday, I shall attend church elsewhere." Notwithstanding this, it was generally agreed that it was a shame, and something must be done. But when things had gone in a haphazard way so long it was no easy matter to face right about. After several weeks of deliberation, the necessary something seemed as far from accomplishment as ever. "It is too bad that they do not collect the pastor's salary," remarked Mrs. Hunter at the Ladies' Aid meeting. Who she meant by "they" was * "WHAT SHALL WE DO?" Hot entirely clear, inasmuch as she was one of the officers. - v "If no one else will do anything, we mutt," rejoined Mrs, Allen; the various members nodded approval. It was soon planned. The pastor had received |51.73; they would pay him $98.25—make, ft even $U0—and have enough left in the treasury for IncJdenUl matters. ... On Thursday evening of next week, which was Thanksgiving.they would Invite, tbemV selves to the parsonage, and havo a tag of the Toung People's League, the president made a close scrutiny to assure himself that all present were members; he then proposed that, as V.Th.^y would not do anything," the League take up the matter. "I understand that we have nearly slxt7 dollars iu the treasury; we could pay the pastor $48.50—bring the salary up to $100—and have enough left to pay all bills and begin the new year out of debt If we do this I suggest that we observe the utmost secrecy and make it a complete surprise." All readily agreed to the plan and pledged the proper reticence in the matter. Four of the most faithful met after prayer meeting to discuss the situation, and decided that they must at once collect $248.25, the balance necessary to- pay the six months' salary due. This they proceeded to do so quietly that no one surmised a general canvass was being made. Before Sunday the entire amount was secured. Friday, after school, the Junior Leaguers met and decided that inasmuch as the grown up folks would not help in the matter, they would do what they could; so they voted to pay over every bit there was in the treasury. Upon counting $23.25 was found to be the correct amount. "Oh, girls!" cried Lottie Newman, as she made some figures in the treasurer's book, "It will make just even $75 and I hope we can get enough to make it a hundred." After the choir had run over the Sunday hymns, someone proposed that they pay the proceeds of the Ian concert on the salary. Tha sum of $30.23; after referring to the margin of his anthem book, the chorister reported that it would make $82 all told. On Thanksgiving morning they would call at the parsonage and surprise the pastor with a check for this amount. Perhaps it would somewhat atone for the sin of whispering during the sermon. Thanksgiving day was a trying time for the Norwoods. The baby was sick the night before and kept them awake; and when they did get to rest, they overslept. What with rushing to get breakfast over and make ready for the service at church, prayers were shortened and the chapter omitted altogether. "Oh. Wesley. I am so tired! Everything has gone wrong today," said Mrs. Norwood that afternoon. "The children nsver were so naughty before. What will people say about Robbie fighting? The flour-barrel is empty, the potatoes are all gone, and we have not a thing in the house for breakfast, only bread and butter; and the grocer sent us word yesterday that we could not have another thing until we paid him. What shall we do?" After which lengthy and somewhat incoherent speech, she laid her head on his shoulder and found refuge in tears. "Never mind, Dear; the Lord will provide"; then he slowly added, as if la an afterthought "some way." A few minutes ?ater Pastor Norwood was bowing to the organist, who slipped a check in h a band and said properly, "With the compliments of the choir." Just as they were seated, the door bell rang a?ain, and this time the Junior League marched en masse and the astonished minister stood speechless with a check in either hand. Then the older League came, and presently the Ladies' Aid, and last of all the trustees, all adding their offerings and crowding the small rooms. Bach party looked ; stiffly askance at the others, wondering by what trickery their secret had become known. After an hour of discourse and song, the treasurer arose amd said: 4,A few c*3» ftiace our pastor had receiar**Htat* mere ptttaW* for many raontlfcs «t ftUibroi MM',^Whl!o he had wrought earnestly for the church and its societies, so that, for the first time in years, all were In a prosperous condition, he unselfishly forgot his own needs. No, no! Brother Norwood, you must permit me to finish. Then one society and anotber,by some strange coincidence, conceived the thought of giving the pastor a pleas* ant Thanksgiving surprise. It is needless to say that we have surprised each other quite as well. But best of mil, I find that in the few days of unconscious co-operation, we have increased the amount paid en salary to just five hundred dollars. This shows what we can do if we all work together. I move you as a congregation, that we increase our pastor's salary from six hundred to eight hundred dollars a year. It was carried with a rush, even Brother Cook assenting. Pastor Norwood arose, and with tears of Joy trickling down his cheeks, thanked * ttr^ fiHtea beti* fy jVtntftt* told *»* 4 Reformed ehurch inf New York that *tb* danger oif Mormontom t» underrated, not overrated. Wfce* the/ put* tic realties that then are two Kormon Churches In Brooklyn, one in Manhattan, one in Philadelphia, $ strong and growing Mormon settlement on tbe borders of Pennsylvania and New Jersey, and that the strongest church in n section ofLmtte* from Jersey City Is Mormon, It may be understood that the situation Is menacing. It was predicted that in 00 years the Mormons' would control a belt of states cutting the country in two from northoast to southwest. The prediction has been verified In 20 years instead of 90. They own land from the Rocky Mountains to the, Sierras and are spreading east, as I 'have told you. They control four western states and at their present rate of progression in a number of others will soon have supremacy in them." p —mil ——^p^i „ • m»,<mm» Krttger'i 0*14^.

After .the war the general was sent to South America. He left the old horse at the farm, with orders that he should be kindly cared for. Returning after an absence of several years, the general reached home near night, and was for some time occupied in exchanging greetings with his family and friends. He did not, however, long neglect to inquire after the old horse. Learning that Spot was at pasture in a distant field, the general sent for him, and a little later was told that his favorite stood tied to a post at the - entrance of the grounds some distance away. The general hastened out onto the piasxa, whence, peering through, the evening, he saw the form of the old veteran who stood demurely gnawing at the post Just one word, Spot! rang out over the lawn. Like an echo came hack the answering neigh. With a snort and a bound the old charger snapped the halter, cleared the fence at a leap, and with arched neck and ears proudly erect he stood by the piasxa, where with Joyful whinny he laid his head on his master's breast Added the general: "We hugged and caressed each other like lovers, and I am not ashamed to say that no welcome I received that day warmed my heart more than that of old Bpot" ' *3 Bhsumatlsm and tbo Wym, x Chicago, 111., Nov. 18th.—Mr. R.

Mr. Wade says that Rheumatism and Kidney Trouble affect the eyesight, and further that there Is no case of the kind that can not be cured by Dodd's Kidney Pills. He has no fear of being set right by any of his medical friends, for both statements have a living and indisputable proof in the person of the -great lawyer himself, who as a-result of Rheumatism and Kidney Trouble from which he suffered for years, became totally blind. , Physicians, the best in the country, pronounced his case incurable and hopeless, but Dodd's Kidney Pills cured him, restored his sight, drove away the Kidney Trouble and with It , the Rheumatism and made an allaround well man of him.

No modern architect would think of building a city upon so frail a foundation as a sponge seems to he, and yet the greatest city in tbe world, London, has no more secure a base. It is true the sponges are petrified and as hard as flint, but the fact remains just the same. The statement of course, requires a little explanation. The flint that forms the substratum of London soil is nothing but petrified sponges; if you examine the fossil sponge, or flint, with a glass you can see the structure of the animal. They are in layers. In the southeast of England the flint is found under the chalk beds, but in the Thames valley the water has gradually washed away the chalk and left the flint "As hard as flint" although perfectly correct sounds rather strange in the light o f the above facts.

It is queer how ironclad Is the hold of convention and conventional considerations. They have a tighter grip and a wider influence than law, reason, sentiment or ethics itself. A woman whose marriage may be termed mediumly successful admitted candidly not long ago that at the very last moment never, never would she have marrka ber husband bad it not been for the thought of all the conventional considerations Involved. "On the way to our wedding," said the woman, "we had the most awful kind of a row that made me vow inwardly never, never to marry him.

To Dwarf To dwarf trees as the Chinese do yon most follow their methods. They take a young plant, say a seedling or a cotting of cedar when two or three Inches high, cot off Its taproot as soon as it has enough other rootlets to live upon and replant it in a shallow pot or pan, allowing the end of the taproot to rest upon the bottom of the pan. Alluvial clay molded to the size of beans and ]UBt sufficient in quantity to furnish a scanty nourishment is then put Into the pot Water, heat and light are permitted on the same basis. The Chinese also ose various mechanical contrivances to promote symmetry of growth. As, owing to. the shallow pots, both top and roots are easily accessible, the gardener uses the pruning knife and the searing Iron freely, so that the little tree, hemmed on every side, eventually gives up the unequal struggle and, contenting itself with the little life left, grows just enough to live and look welL Great Memories.

The ca-^e was a hotly contested one Eminent attorneys were employed on either side and all the resources of the law called into effect by tbe defense to avert the verdict that seemed inevitable in the minds of the people. ^a<^4ay-ibj^courtj:oojn_was densely packed by people from all parts of the county and the most intense interest manifested. It has probably been years since a case has attra cted such universal interest. Prosecutor Shields and Sheriff Finley have been indefatigable in their efforts in the case and deserve great praise at the hands of the people. Their work on the case in this locality was devoid of any bitterness of spirit toward the accused and was simply in the line of duty. The witnesses on ooth sides generally manifested a spirit of fairness which was both noti ceable and commendable. Great efforts were made By tbe defense to throw discredit on the work of Drs. Sigler and Swartz but it fell on dull ears and was a disastrous thing to attempt in a community where these gentlemen are so well known and enjoy an enviable reputation for professional skill and integrity of character. The advent of medical lawyers or "experts," J^aj^ an innovation to court attendants~ln 1MB county. Capable men can easily lose character and professional standing unless tbwy exercise great care and caution in giving this kind of evidence. The verdict of the Jury gives universal satisfaction in this locality where the deceased was so w^ll known and while much indignation is felt at th« effort made by tbe defense to besmirch bis character for, sobriety; nearly all join in tbe wish tbat this terrible lesson may have a good efiect in shaping the future career of the defendent and tbat the Judical mind may be tempered with mercy.

"Maiam." said the officer 'Von must «0 aware that in an investigation of tUs nature, we are compelled to put ejHstions which we do not expect to fee answered in the affirmative. Colonel will understand what I mean I amy that we call them 'feelers.' I did not expect to hear that Miss flsnrrm had been on familiar terms with your servants (though it might Jtave been), but that question, being disposed of, wfll lead me to another. I inspect that some one did enter the 900m and make free with the bracelet, and that Mies* Seaton must have been <*gsJs*nt of i t If a common thief, or ma. absolute stranger, she would have the first to give the alarm; if on toe familiar terms with the servants she would be as little likely to screen them. So we come to the question—who could it have been?" "May I inquire why you suspect Miss Seaton?" coldly demanded Lady Sarah. "Entirely from her manner; from the agitation she displays." "Most young ladles, particularly in oar class of life, would betray agitation at being brought face to face with a police officer," urged Lady Sarah. "My lady," he returned, "we are keen, experienced men; and we should not be fit for the office we hold if we were not We generally do find lady witnesses betray uneasiness, when first exposed to our questions, but in a very short time; often in a few moments, ft wears off, and they grow gradually easy. It was not so with Miss Seaton. Her agitation excessive at first, increased visibly, and it ended as you saw. I did not think it agitation of «nllt, but I did think it that of conscious fear. And look at the related facte; that she laid the bracelets there, never left them, no one came in, and yet the most valuable one vanished. We have many extraordinary tales brought before us, but not quite so • extraordinary as that." CHAPTER VIII. The Colonel nodded approbation; Lady Sarah began to feel uncomfortable. —"I should Tike to know whether any called whilst you were at dinner," the officer. "Can I see the man attends to the hall door?" "Thomas attends to that," said the Cotoeel, ringing the bell. "There is a side door, bat that is only for the servants and tradespeople." "I heard Thomas say that Sir George Dan vers called while you were at dinobserved Lady Sarah. "No one And Sir George did not go upstairs." The detective smiled. **If he.had, my lady, it would have made the case no clearer." "Hie," laughed Lady Sarah, "poor •eld Sir George would be pussled what •to do with a diamond bracelet." '"Will you tell me," said the officer, -wheeling sharply around upon Thomas wrhen he entered, "who it was that called here yesterday evening while year master was at dinner? I do not mean Sir George Dan vers; the other one." Thomas visibly hesitated; and that was sufficient for the lynx-eyed officer. the the Alice came back leaning on arm of Lady Frances Cbenevlx; latter having been dying with curiosity to come in beiore. "So the mystery is out, ma'am," began the Colonel to Miss Seaton; "it appears this gentleman was right and that somebody did come in; and that somebody the rebellious Mr. Gerard Hope." Alice was prepared for, this, for Thomas had told her Mr. Gerard's visit was known; and She was not so agitated as before. It was the fear of its being found out, the having to conceal it, which had troubled her. "It is not possible that Gerard can have taken the bracelet," uttered Lady Sarah. "No^ it is not possible," replied Alice. "And that is why I was unwilling to mention his having come up." "What did he come for?" thundered the Colonel. ifrii.niiHiiijin.rnn.^ nu. .1111111 11'HI ;i;j,Mi»| «*nd ru go with you and prefer the ^ T m e t * i * ^ ; e o ^ T e i that I do;-answerea Gerard, forwhatever pttfatta I nay have got into in the way of debt and carelessness, I have not gone Into crime," "You are accused, sir/' said the officer, "of stealing a diamond bracelet" "Hey! "s uttered Gerard, a flash , of intelligence rising to his face as he glanced at Alice. "I might have guessed it was the bracelet affair, if I had had my recollection aboutme." "Oh, oh," triumphed the colonel tn sneering Jocularity, "so yon expected it was the bracelet, did you? w*e shall have it all out presently" "I heard of the bracelet's disappearance," said Mr. Hope. "I met Miss Seaton when she was out this morning and she told me it was gone." "Better make no admissions," whispered the officer in his ear. "They may be used against you." "Whatever admissions I may make, you are at liberty to use them, for they are truth," haughtily returned Gerard. "Is It possible that you do suspect me of taking the bracelet, or la this a joker' "Allow me to explain/' panted Alice, stepping forward. "I—I—did not accuse you, Mr. Hope; I would not have mentioned your name in connection "Nobodycalled but Sir George, sir," Ihe presently said. The detective stood before the man staring him full in the face with a look of amusement. "Think again, my man," quoth he. *Tak6 your time. There was some one -else." The Colonel fell into an explosion; reproaching the unfortunate Tbomas with having eaten his bread for five years, to turn around upon the house and its master at last, and act the part of a deceitful, conniving wretch, and let in that swindler- "He's not a swindler, sir," interrupted Thomas. "Oh, no, not a swindler." roared the Colonel, "'he only steals diamond Bracelets." "No more than I steal 'em, sir," again spoke Thomas. "He's not capable, sir. It was Mr. Gerard." The Colonel was struck speechless; his rage vanished and down he sat in a chair, staring at Thomas. Lady Sarah colored with surprise. "Now, my man," cried the officer, why could you not have said it was Mr. Gerard V "Because Mr. Gerard asked me not to say he had been, sir; he is not friendly here just now, and I promised him I Would not. And I'm sorry to have had to break my word." "Who is Mr. Gerard, pray?" "He is my nephew," interposed the ^checkmated Colonel. "Gerard Hope." "But as Thomas says, he is no swindler," remarked Lady Sarah; "he is no thief. You may go. Thomas." *No, sir," stormed the. Colonel. "fetch Miss Seaton here first. I'll came to the bottom of this. If he has done it Lady Sarah. I will bring htm »lo trial, though he is Oerard Mope." "It was net an intentional visit. I believe he only followed the impulse of the moment He saw me at the front window, and Thomas, it appears was at the door, and he ran up." "I think you might have said so, Alice," observed Lady Sarah, in a stiff tone. "Knowing he had been forbidden the house, I did not wish to bring him under the Colonel's displeasure," was all the excuse Alice could offer. "It was not my place to inform against him.1' "I presume he approached sufficiently near the bracelets to touch them, had he wished?" observed the officer, who, of course, had now made up his mind upon the business—and upon the thief. "Ye—s," returned Alice, wiBhing she could have said no. "Did you notice the bracelet there after he was gone?" "I cannot say I did. I followed him from the room when he left, and then I went into the front room, so that I had no opportunity of observing." "The doubt is solved," was the mental comment of the detective officer. —Tne-eotonelrlroT" and~ Tiasty, sent several servants various ways in search of Gerard Hope, and he -was speedily found and brought. A tall and powerful young man. very goodlooking. "Take him into custody, officer!" was the Colonel's impetuous command. "Hands off, Mr. Officer—if you are an officer!" cried Gerard, in the first shock of surprise, as he glanced at the gentlemanly appearance of the other, who wore plain clothes, "you shall not touch me unless you can show legal authority. This is a shameful trick. Colonel—excuse me—but as I owe nothing to you, I do not see that you have any such power over me." The group would have made a fine study; especially Gerard; his head thrown back in defiance, and looking angrily at everybody. "Did you hear me?" cried the Colonel. "I must do my duty," said the police officer, approaching Gerard; "and for authority—you need not suppose I should act, If without it." "Allow me to understand, first/' rewith it, because I am sure you are innocent; but when it was discovered that you had been here I could not deny it." "The charging me with having-taken it is absurdly preposterous"' exclaimed Gerard, looking first at his uncle and then at the officer. "Who accuses me?" ' "I do," said the colonel. "Then I am very sorry it is not somebody else instead of you, sir/' "Explain. Why?" "Because they would get a kindly horsewhipping. "Gerard,' interrupted Lady Sarah, "do not treat it in that light way. If you did take it say so and) you shall be forgiven. I am sure you must have been put to it terribly hard; only confess it and the matter shall be hushed up/' "No, it sha'n't, my lady!" cried the colonel. "I will not have him encouraged— I mean felony compounded." "It shall," returned Lady Sarah, "It shall indeed. The bracelet was mine, and I have a right to do as I please. Believe me, Gerard, I will put up with the loss without a murmur, only confess, and let the worry be done with." marked Gerard, haughtily, eluding the officer. "What is it for? What is the sum total?" "Two hundred and fifty pounds!" growled the colonel. "But if you are thinking to compromise It in that way, young sir, you will find yourself mistaken." "Oh, no fear," retorted Gerard. "I have not two hundred and fifty pence. Let me see; it must be Dobbs. A hun.- dred and sixty—how on earth do they slide the express up? I did it, sir, to oblige a friend." "The duece you did!" exchoed the colonel, who but little understood the speech, -except the last sentence. "If ever I saw such a cool villain in all my experience!" "He was awful hard up," went on Gerard, "as bad as I am now. and I din it. I don't deny having done such things on my own account, but from this particular one I did not benefit a shilling." CHAPTER IX. His cool assurance and his words struck them with consternation. "Dobbs said he'd take care I should be put to no inconvenienve—and this comes of it! That's trusting your friend. He vowed to me, this very week, that he had provided for the bill." "He thinks it only an affair of debt," screamed Lady Prances Chenevix. "Oh, Gerard! what a relief! We thought you were confessing." "You are not arrested for debt, sir," cried the officer, "but for felony." "For felony!" uttered Gerard Hope. "Oh, indeed. Could you not make it murder?" he added, sarcastically. "Off with him to. Marlborough street, otflccr!" cried the exasperated colonel, Gerard Hope looked at her; little trace of shame was there in his countenance. "Lady Sarah," he asked, in a deep tone, "can you indeed deem me capable of taking your bracelet?" "The bracelet was there, sir, and it went, and you can't deny it!" uttered the colonel. "It was there, fast enough," answered Gerard. "I, held it in my hand for two or three minutes, and was talking to Miss Seaton about it. I was wishing it was mine, and saying what I should do with it." "Oh, Mr. Hope, pray say no more," involuntarily interrupted Alice. "You will make appearances worse." "What do you want to screen him for?" impetuously broke out the colonel, turning upon Alice. "Let him say what he was going to say." "I do not know why I should not say it," Gerard Hope answered, in, it must be thought, a spirit of bravado or recklessness, which he disdained to check. 'I said I should spout It." "You'll send off to every pawnshop in the metropolis, before the night's over, Mr. Officer!" cried the choking colonel, breathless with rage. "This beats brass." "But I did not take it any more for having said that," put in Gerard, in a graver tone. "The remark might have been made by any one, from a duke downwards, if reduced to his last shifts, as I am. I said if it were mine; I did not say I would steal to do it. Nor did I." "I saw him put it down again," said Alice Seaton, in a calm, steady voice. "Allow me to speak a word, colonel," resumed Lady Sarah, interrupting something her husband was about to say. "Gerard, I cannot believe you guilty; but consider the circumstances. The bracelet was there; you acknowledge it; Miss Seaton left the apartment when you did, and went into the front room; yet when I came up from dinner, it was there no longer." The colonel would speak. "3o it lies between you and Miss Seaton," he put in. "Perhaps you would like to make believe she appropriated it." "No," answered Gerard, with flashing eye. "She cannot be doubted. I would rather take the guilt upon myself than allow her to be suspected. Believe me, Lady Sarah, we are both innocent."

These two little communities never exchanged calls., but lived and prospered in happy exclusion. The going out of the ice from the lake last spring, was followed by an almost unprecedented rise of water, and the two marshes in Spencer hay. the larger one and the little one, were completely covered. Now, the muskrats did not mind the flood a bit. Driven from one bote, they sought another further back, and when there weren't any more holes these, happy-go-iucky vagrants set up housekeeping in huge piles of driftwood, never, losing a meal 6^ a wink of 8leep7 But with the beaver it was different. These industrious property owners suffered severely, and When the waters of Moosenead lake at last receded the ruins of the beaver's lodges went with them. /The beavers did not sit and sulk, neither did they for a- moment think of building again on the same old site. They'sought higher ground, where the floods of another spring could not reach them, and so it came about one fine morning when ,tue tauskra.ts came down onto the marsh to play they found the beaver there before them. It was a large marsh, as has been stated before, but it was not large enougn for both muskrat and beaver. War was at once declared, and *fee war ended in the breaking up of the muskrat colony and the scat* Spencer bay. Two miles from the marsh and on the. farther side of the hay was a clump of poplar trass, which the heaver selected ss the heat material available for their new hymes. All day and all night they sawed, until fluaHy they had floating in the lake and compactly rafted several buiulred logs Jost the right length and thickness for up-to-date beaver houses. And then the troubles of these/ busy but unscrupulous little builders began. They could not even stir the raft of logs from shore, to say nothing of towing It two miles across Spencer bay to the marsh. Every: beaver in the colony was summoned to the task. Young and old, big and little, weak and strong, tbey pushed and pulled, but they could not budge that raft of timber. Then the" head" of^tnerbeaver colony called the other beavers together on the raft and laid before them this remarkable proposition: If the muskrats would lend a helping hand and tow that raft up Spencer bay they (the beaver) would permit them, to return t o t h e big marsh, yrhere they might live without fear of molestation. The rest of the beavers agreed, and the muskrats,. when appealed to, also agreed. And the following morning, before the waters of the bay roughed up, the deer and the squirrels and the gulls beheld with amazement, beavers and muskrats, shoulder to shoulder, pushing a raft of logs.before them up Spencer bay. The houses are built, and the beaver are in them. And all about are muskrat holes, and muskrats in them, too. And beaver and rat, who are at war. everywhere else in Northern Maine, are living together in peace on the big marsh at the'head of Spencer bay.—Boston Herald. A T5ah of J+ ftfcft "Some peculiar conditions prevail at the twin cities of Nogales. Mex., and Nogalee, Ariz.," said a Detroiter who recently returned from a visit to Mexico. "The international boundary line is formed by a street that divides the two towns, and the boundary stakes are set out with a very nice regard for technicalities. There is a saloon there which has more than a local reputation, and the proprietor is certainly an enterprising individual. His saloon is located on the street that divides the two countries, and at a point where the dividing line 1B not clearly defined. The patron of this saloon buys his drink in America, and, stepping aoroes the hall, he buys his oigar in Mexleo. In this way the proprietor avoids the duty on imported cigars, and can provide his customers, with the best make at lower prices than most of his competitors. "They tell an amusing story about an American who imbibed too much fighting whisky at this saloon. When he arrived at a certain stage he allowed his prejudices to get the better of him, and, standing near the boundary line of his own country, he heaped anathemas and hurled defiance at the people across the border. A couple of Mexican officers stood across the street,, almost within reach of the pugnacious American, hoping that he would stroll across into Mexico. He did get over there after a while, although the trip was wholly unpremeditated. During a harangue against Mexican institutions in general and the police in particular, he happened to lurch too far over to starboard and felLinto Mexico, The alert cops promptly grabbed him, and, though he didn't get a chance to take in the sights,.he paid quite an extended visit to the country he had so eloquently maligned." A Story ef Danae. Danae was a character in Greek mythology, the daughter of , Acrisius, King of Argos, one of the kingdoms of Greece in the days of Homer. An oracle had announced that she would one day give.birth to a son who should kill his grandfather. Acrisius for safety's sake shut her up in a dungeon, where nevertheless she was visited by (he god Jupiter, in a shower of gold, and became the mother of Perseus. Acrisius next put both the mother and child into a chest and exposed them to the sea. The chest, however, drifted ashore on the island of Seriphos, and Danae and her child were saved. She remained on the* island until Perseus had grown up and became a hero, famous for his exploits; afterwards she accompanied him to Argos. On his arrival, Acrisius .fled, but was subsequently slain accidentally by Perseua at Larissa.—Montreal Herald and Star.

During the last ten or twelve years cotton mills, woolen mills, silk mills and factories of all kinds have sprung up in Russia. There is* one cotton -mill near Moscow at which 16.000 people are employed. It is run by electricity and is said to have one of the most perfect plants ever set up. A party of Massachusetts manufacturers have been over this summer to Inspect It, and they say it surpasses anything they hare ever seen. There are other mills of large extent, for when a Russian goes in for anything he likes to be expansive. At one time the people of Russia used nothing hut prints and sheetings from Mancdesfcr. ,.Then cheaper Oarman goods came in for awhile, and, with the careful pains which the German- manufacturers ajwaya take to please their* cus&meri, they" were mare .closely adapted( to Russian tastes and requirements, and heace they soon supplanted the English fabrics entirely.

The government encouraged him to undertake manufacturing enterprises. Men and machinery were brought from England. At first all the foremen and engineers were English, but the Germans, who will work for lower wages, gradually elbowed them out and the government started technical schools for the education of its own people to handle machinery and engines. This work of training is going on very rapidly.

We once knew a farmer, s a y s a western exchange, who was in a general way, a man of more than average intelligence, who laughed at the folly of h i s neighbors in raising potatoes for home use. H e had no time to fool away raisi n g potatoes. H e raised 5,000 or 10,000 busliels of wheat a year and bought his potatoes, etc., from those whose time was not as valuable as his. I n fact about the only thing which grew on his 640 sere farm, aside from wheat, was a mortgage, and the mortgage finally got the best of him, while his neighbors, who sold him potatoes, eggs, butter, etc., almost without exception got rid of mo:tgages. Alabama's Capitals. When Alabama was a territory Its capital was at St Stephens. In Washington county. The convention that framed the constitution under which it was admitted into the Union was held In Huntsville, where the first legislature met in October. 1819. and the first governor was inaugurated. Cahaba became the seat of government in 1820. In 1S23 the capital was removed to Tuscaloosa, and in 1846 It was again removed, this time to Montgomery.

The color must be Jrue—that is to say, it must not run to streaks or patches, alternating with a colorless or inferior quality. Pattern is described as being an important factor, the several varieties beknown as "pin. Are" when the grain is very small, "harlequin" when the color Is all in small squares, the more regular the better, an<J the "flash fire" or "flash opal" when the color shows as a single flash or in very large pattern. Harlequin Is the most common and is also popularly considered the most beautiful. When the squares of color are regular and show as distinct, minute checks of red, yellow, blue and green, it is considered magnificent. Some stones show better on edge than on top. AM Object Lesson to Grant. This story Is told of the first time Grant ever had charge of a large body of men sent out to give battle. He was colonel In the early part of 1862» detailed to go to the relief of an Illinois regiment, supposed to be surrounded by Confederates at Palmyra, Mo., but when be arrived the regiment had relieved itself by retiring. Grant then went out to Florida, in the same state, and as the regiment tolled over the hill beyond which the enemy was supposed to be in waiting Grant says be would have "given anything to be back again in Illinois." At the top of the hill, instead of troops drawn up in battle array, Grant saw a deserted camp. "It occurred to me at once that Harris had been as much afraid of me as I had been of him," said Grant "From that event to the close of the war I never experienced trepidation upon confrontlng^an enemy, though I always felt more or less anxiety. I never forgot that he had as much reason to fear my forces as 1 had his."—Syracuse Post-Standard. At S e c o n d H a n d .

"What will soften it?" asked the anxious laird. "Ocli. just whusky!" said Donald. A tumbler of whisky was at once brought, which Douald Immediately drank. "You rascal!" said the laird.

Koanjgsvlias printed a sketch of a general theory of mechanisms. Every machine consist* of annmber of material bodies, resistances, Joined together reciprocally, upon which.natural forces act to produce a desired effect and the effect may be either a state of rest or one of motto*. The reflating bodies and their connections are the mechanism. Its effect Is not known until we define the acting forces. The same machine will produce different effects according as different forces play upon it Machines are subject to three effects— static when the forces produce equilibrium; kinetic when the result is motion, and. finally, dissociative when the connections of the machine are changed. The latter effect, is usually not considered, but it is essential to take it into account A machine could not be built, in the Urst place, unless it was capable of dissociation. In some machines—locks, for instance—tUe parts are • dissociated every time the apparatus operates. It is desirable to design most machines, however, so that the dissociative effects do not come Into play during their operation. Beware of the_Cold Bath.

I don't think I shall ever be able to use an ordinary pen again. Can this be carried safely in your pocket?" "Quite," said Miranda. "But don't make me brag about Jane. I have known so many people who had stylos that seemed to be all right until they .began to boast about them. No stylo* {graph can stand that." : "She's a duck aim a darling, but I ,would never praise her if I owned her. It seems rather hard, doesn't it?

I "No, I do not think I shall ever part with Jane." ; "I shouldn't mind buying her. Just tell me bow much, and if I can possibly"— "Not for worlds." "Margaret, I don't think I ever asked you for anything before. I know how generous you are, and I hate to take advantage of it. But if you were to give me Jane there is nothing I wouldn't do for you.

You can't think what a difference she has made in my life.* At one time I was always in trouble about letter writing. Now It's a positive joy to write letters.

I have been the target of their abuse for months and the Victim of their lies, but I made no reply to the harsh things they said about, me. I now defy them; I have done so publicly, and I challenge them to prove their charges against me. They don't dare to try it.

He captured 18 miles of new trout nets belonging to the A. Booth Co., of Chicago, and valued at $10,000. He has thus antagonized the fish trust, and big legal events are expected to follow. The nets were found, in Michigan water, the trust having set them there contrary to Michigan law, and in direct defiance of the game warden and his cruiser, Dornbos. The tug Harrow, belonging to the Booth company, was American Girl* Sold. A London cable dispatch says: English detectives acknowledge their inability to stop the wholesale traffic in young girls carried on by agents in again sighted, but the expected battle did not materialize.

Thursday, 5,000 pounds of fish were Confiscated and stored in the hold of the boat. The tug Edwards, which was surrendered, is .now the property of the warden; The tug Ferry, which surrendered Monday, returned to St. Joe for the first time Thursday.

He was asked If he bad eie* paid bis bondsmen. He replied that he bad paid a portion of the $16,000. He was asked if he wasn't at present building a new house, He said be was. Then Ward fired the question as to why he didn't pay back his bondsmen instead of building a house. He replied that he bought the house1 through a building and loan association. The mayor then went on bitterly to say that he would get square with Gariuan and Cameron when they got to New York, and that the federal authorities would look after them. Few thought that Prosecutor Ward would drag aside the veil from the mayor's dark past, but he did it coldly and deliberately, If not with a degree of refined brutality. While the mayor, previous to the ripping aside of the veil, had been flippant and caustic and 4uelmed to be ironical and sarcastk; in hla remarks, when the veil fell ho wilted. An Ex el aatve Party.

The Increase in the number of cases of smallpox among the Indians on the northwest reservations is becoming alarming, as the disease# is rapidly spreading among the whites. Secretary Hitchcock has received a telegram froui (Jov. Shaw, of Iowa, asking that the government.officials cooperate with the state and city officials to prevent Indians on the Sac and Fox agencies from waudering among the whites, and thus distributing the disease among the whites. The Indians refuse to obey the quarantine regulations, and a great many of them refused to submit to vaccination. The death rate among the afflicted has been 00 per cent. This same condition exists in a simller degree at all of the northwestern reservations. The Indians even refuse medicine from white men. The Yukon Fairy Ttile. This comes from Vancouver, B.

(Copyright. 1901. by Daily Story gub. Co.) Wun Sock leaned oyer the hearth and drew with his bow a melancholy tune out of an old violin. Again and again he drew the bow across the instrument, holding a particularly deep note, bending forward slightly and looking IntenUy at ft »P"t on the_ most indiscernlbly, first its head, then hearth. The room was dimly lighted by a tallow dip. Weird enough were the surroundings—the figures of dragons on the walls, Joss perched on a shelf, the giant shadows cast by the flickering light—without the accompaniment of unearthly music. Twenty minutes, half an hour, forty minutes, and then, with an exclamation of Chinese disgust, he laid the violin down, took up a large cork from the shelf, fitted it in a hole in the hearth and blew out the tallow dip, and, after a few puffs at the resistless pipe, threw himself on his cot and slept A few minutes later Chip In opened the door of the little Joint and tiptoed ' softly in. Lighting the tallow dip and seeing the violin lying there, he began ' where Wun Sock left off, first taking the cork out of the hole in the hearth. From the hole emerged an object— • Chip In drew forth the same monotonous tune, even more dismally than his predecessor. Twenty minutes, half - and hour, forty minutes, and then, with an execration, he repeated Wun Book's actions, throwing himself on the cot next to his worthy contemporary, while that gentleman emitted a snort which may have signified groin displeasure at the confusion aroused by Chip In, or intense confusion at some hallucination superinduced by the pipe. While Wun Sock wag muttering incoherent monosyllables to himself, in •talkel Sip Gin, and, Judging from his v wavering gait and the .reverse position of hit hat, he had been a partaker of $ the cup that inebriate* but does not inevitably cheer.' He made hit w*y unsteadily over the hearth by the light of the street lamp, and looked about t» a bleared sort of way, accidentally ' touching the violin with his hand^ lahe drew the bow across the strings and long he held the monotonous tone with the tenacious bow, playing, however, with somewhat more feeling than the others. The light from the street lamps shone dimly through the little square panes of glass to the hole in the hearth. Sip watched closely with only the aid of this. The violin continued to wail and moan. Then from the hole emerged an object, moving alneck, and finally writhing its whole form out upon the hearth, standing erect and almost touching Sip Gin with Its nose—a cobra of immense size. Sip continued to draw the bow as imperceptibly as possible. Suddenly, with a movement as quick as the flash of a sabre, he dropped both bow and violin and grabbed the reptile just behind the head. With a shriek he awoke Wun Sock and Chip In, while the struggles of the infuriated monster, together with Sip's already too unsteady head, nearly carried that gentleman off his balance. A light being produced, he regained, his equilibrium, while his compartlots uttered exclamations of intense gratification at the victorious although somewhat inebriated Sip. In his rage the serpent's head was flattened out, resembling a hood, on the back of which were the spectaclelike marks, and the brownish-olive form wriggled in'a desperate'effort to escape. Quickly it was thrust into a box, and while it was venting its rage on the interior Sip pulled himself together and adjusted his disheveled raiment. The rest of the night they sat up to discuss a conspiracy. Wun Sock conducted a prosperous laundry near the barracks, his business having increased with the influx of the Americans. Sip Gin was an all-around sport, who spent most of his time and money in the gambling joint which js at present the scene of this narrative, and of which Chip In was said to be the sole proprietor. Wun Sock had by artful competition forced Hop Hi, a rival laundry man, to.the v/all, for which piece of mercantile courtesy he incurred that Celestial's unmitigated enmity. Hop having migrated to Bombay, returned the compliment in the form of this cobra, neatly ensconced in a box, which Wun Sock, in delight and ignorance of Its contents, took around- to Chip In's to open before that heathen's usually admiring eyes. Upon forcing the lid the serpent made a pass at him, and but for the tool with which he opened the box, and which he still held in his hand, the result would surely have been fatal to Wun Sock. In the excitement, during which they all retreated, the cobra made good his escape, taking refuge in the hole in the hearth, which they promptly stopped up with a cork. Knowing the power or music to charm these reptiles, a violin was procured, and for si* nights they met at the joint and vainly extended an invitation to the cobra to emerge from the hearth and be again immured «tfhln the walla of his box. It regained, however, for Sip Gin, inspired j p sentiments of tenderness by the intuitively reoalling a forgotten tofettt* fuence of e. toothing liquid, to draw ttos, he took up the instrument, t * M the bow with sufficient witchery to charm the otherwise indomltabft cyeature and coax him f rojn his lair.

Wun Sock, with five enemies, Chip In with seven. Sip Gin with three, while he. Lam Chop, had only one—an enemy who had spoken evil of him to all .his race—Chin Lip, the barber. "But be; not vindictive," said Lam Chop, as he rubbed hto sleeve across hto face to hide a smile. "Let your enemies live and list to the chance of a lifetime. The government of Uncle Sam will give $5,000 for Aguinaldo, dead or alive." Lam Chop knew his hiding place and his disguise. "Think of 5,000 of Uncle Sam's big dollars, that buy ten times as much as our brass money! Back to China we can go and live like Li Hung Chang." Great was the idea, but how was it to be executed? Lam Chop would tell them. On the night of the full moon Wun Sock was to carry his venomous burden, boxed neatly, with the^lidmerely latched, to a deserted but on the outskirts of Manila. There Aguinaldo took refuge after nightfall and slipped out early every morning disguisedas a coolie. He would see the box and naturally open it; death would result and the reward be sure to follow. Wun Sock on the day appointed hastened to do the bidding of Lam Chop.

Next morning three Chinamen could be seen walking along the road leading to the outskirts. Lam Chop did not appear at the hour appointed to bring the body of Aguinaldo to the government of Uncle Sam; so, after waiting half an hour, the three decided to go without him. As they approached the hut their countenances beamed with anticipation. Wun Sock pushed open the door slowly and peeped in. There Aggy lay stretched out on the floor. The box open and empty.

They looked for him, but he was not to be found. He had vanished. The accumulated wealth of Wun Sock, Chip In and Sip Gin had been detached from its hiding places and had gone along, too.

Never Was There 8uek Kxeltement^- Pbyslelans' Association Trying to Kxplaln. Ottawa, Canada, Nov. 25th.—This city is stirred up as never before. Some seven years ago the local papers published an account of a man named George H. Kent of 408 Gilmour street, who was dying of Bright's Disease and who at the very last moment after several of our best physicians had declared he couldn't live twelve hours, was saved by Dodd's Kidney Pills. People who know how low Mr. Kent was refused to believe that he was cured permanently and the other day in order to clinch the matter the papers published the whole case over again and backed up their story by svorn statements made by Mr. Kent,' in which he declares most positively that in 1S94 he was given up by the doctors and that Dodd's Kidney Pills and nothing else saved him, and further that since the day that Dodd's Kidney Pills sent him back to work seven years ago, he has not lost a single minute from his work. (He is a printer in the American Bank Note Printing Company.) Mr. Kent is kept quite busy during his spare hours answering inquiries personally and by letter, but he is so grateful that he counts the time well spent Indeed he and his wife have shown their gratitude to Dodd'a Kidney Pills in a very striking -way by having their little girl—born in 1896— christened by the name of "Dodds." Altogether it is the most sensational case that has ever occurred in the history of medicine in Canada and the perfect substantiation of every detail leaves no room to doubt either the completeness or the permanency ot the cure. The local physicians have made the case of Kent and Dodd's Kidney Pills the subject of discussion at several of the private meetings of their association. A Wall tfm the City.

The slow absorption of many poisons changes in some more or less modified form the complexion, but nrsonic and ammonia show their effect about as quickly as any. The popular belie! that arsenic clears the complexion has led many silly women to kill themselves with it In small, continued doses. It produces a waxy, ivorylike appearance of the skin during a certain stage of the poisoning, but its terrible after effects have become too well known to make it of common use as a cosmetic. The effects of ammonia upon the complexion are directly opposite from that of arsenic. The first symptoms of ammonia poisoning which appears among those wlio work In ammonia factories is a discoloration of the skin of the nose and forehead. This gradually extends over the face until the complexion has a stained, blotched and unsightly appearance. With people Who take ammonia into their systems In small doses, as with their water and food, these striking symptoms do not appear so soon. The only effect of the poison that Is visible for a time is a general unwholesomeness and sallowuess of the complexion. JobnMon on Poverty. Poverty, my dear friend.

"I haven't quite decided," answered the American heiress. "I am not sure I can support him in tbe style to which his ancestors were accustomed."—Exchange. Undigested Pood. The recurrence of the flavor of food for some time after eating is always an indication, writes a physician in a medical journal, that the food is not being properly digested. "I can taste it," we say after eating canned fruits and vegetables preserved by adding salicylic acid or formaldehyde, substances that embalm food against the digestive julees as completely as they protect It from the microbes of the outer air. And "I can taste It" would probably be the report of one who had made a hearty meal on a turkey kept several months In cold, storage. "A man trying to live on such meat would simply starve to death or die of blood poisoning," adds the physician. He does not fail to remind us that the storage warehouse Is generally a convenience and a benefit and only when misused a source of tlanger. But neither he nor any one else could find a good word to say for manufacturers who put slow poison Into a food" product. The fitting punishment for them would be to give them nothing to eat but their own canned stuff. The Bird That Files Longe»t. Mr. J. Lancaster, naturalist, who spent five years on the west coast of Florida studying birds there, came to the conclusion that of all the feathered tenants of the air the frigate bird can fly the lougest without resting. He has seen one flying for a whole week night and day without repose. The frigate bird can feed, collect materials for its nest and even sleep on the wing. Apparently its wings can be controlled automatically, without the power of its will, and It probably adapts Itself to take advantage of the upward or bearing force of the wind. The spread of the frigate bird's wing is great, and It can fly at a speed of ninety-six miles an hour, without seeming to flap its wings much. The albatross—that "king of tbe high seas." ns It has been called—Is •larger than the frigate bird, but If It follows a vessel for-four or five days It has to rest on a rock or on the ship Itself. v First, tbe boy of eight or ten la teal lo tbe breaker to pick t l » slate and oth er impurities from the coal which has been brought up from the mine. From there he la promoted* and becomes a door boy, working In the mine. As be grows older and stronger be la advanced to the position and given the pay of a laborer. experience which secures bin a place as a miner's helper, and at be acquires •kill and strength he becomes, when in tbe height of bis manhood and vigor, a full fledged miner. ' . , If he is fortunate, enough to escape the falls of rock and coal, he may ^retain this position as a miner for a' number of years. But as age creeps on and he is attacked by some of the man; diseases incident to work in the mines be makes way for those younger and more vigorous following him up the ladder whose summit he has reached. He then starts on the descent, going back to become a miner's helper", then a mine laborer, now a door boy, and when old and decrepit be finally returns to the breaker where he started as a child, earning the same wages as are received by the little urchins who work at hia side. There is no incentive for ambition in the average miner's life. He cannot rise to places of eminence and wealth. Only 1 In 600 can even be given place as a foreman or superintendent, and these are positions which few miners care to hold.— John Mitchell in Cosmopolitan. I will pay above the taMS fat wheat. F.

In furtherance of this plan he was removing his goods to temporary quarters In another building. The goods were nearly all out of the old structure when from some unknown cause It caught fire. The department was promptly on hand and soon had a stream playing on the flames, but the merchant was wild with excitement. Running up to the chief, he urged him to greater haste. "Never mind the goods!" he shouted. "Save the building! I'll give the boys a check for $500 for their pension fund if they don't let the fire spread beyond that floor!" "Why, you're going to tear the old building down anyway, aren't you?" asked the chief. "Yes," he said, "but do you suppose I want the insurance companies or anybodyonT earth to think that's tbe son why It caught fire?" By great exertion the flre was extinguished with little loss so far as tbe building was concerned, and the merchant was as good as his word.- Youth's Companion. Queer Creature*. There are microscopic creatures which live in roof gutters and on the bark of trees and are known as water bears and wheel animalculoe. If allowed to dry up under the microscope, they can be seen to shrivel Into shapeless masses, which may be kept for years uninjured in the dried state. On being placed after this long interval In water they gradually plump up, resume their proper shape and move about in search of food just as if nothing had happened. Much the same is true for the minute worms which from the substances in which they live are known as paste and vinegar eels. Well known Is the famous case of the desert snail, which, retracted into Its shell, was fastened to a. tablet in the British museum and showed no sign of life for seven years, when one morning it was found crawling hungrily about the glass case that formed its prison. Up HIH Sleeve. At the battle of Omdurman a soldier belonging to a Scotch regiment was nearly killed by a bullet which struck the ground just in front of him while he was firing In a reclining position. On rising to move a few feet forward, something came down his sleeve. It was the bullet. How it got up his sleeve without Inflicting damage can only be accounted for by the fact that It must have been spent by the time It struck the ground in front of him and the course of its flight up his sleeve was Its last billet.
