His parents pass?d a"way about four years| and 25. ago leaving him with but little property and considerably past the young man period. His ambition was not dead however, and after disposing of his property he announced bis intention of carrying, out the desire of his life and entered the Michigan Medical College where by hard study inside and work outside he has come off with honor> which he richly deserves.

Borne^would be mystified, if told, furthermx>r^ thai t h i s > the date ef the Declaration of Independence of one part of the American nation. Such, however, are the facts. The state is Texas. What the Fourth of July is in the history of the thirteen original colonies, the second of March is in the history of Texas.. The opening of the year 1836 found Texas in quite an anomalous condition. She was engaged in active fighting against Mexico, and yet seemed to have no other idea than that of remaining a portion of Mexico. In November of the preceding year a gathering known as the general consultation had been held at San Felipe. The name consultation was_ applied to this because the Mexicans were prejudiced against "conventions." This one fact shows how anxious the Texans were _ to retain the favor of Mexico. Provision was made for another council, to meet the 1st of March of the next year. On Feb. 1 an election was held, and fifty-eight were chosen as delegates to that gathering. These assembled March 1 in the picturesque old tpwn of Washington, on the Brazos. The next day they unanimously adopted- a declaration of independence. It i*as written by George €. Childress, and is considered a strong document The' opening lines are as follows: "When a Government has ceased to protect the lives, liberty and property of the people, from whom its legitimate powers are derived " It then proceeds to state concisely and vigorously sixteen separate points in which the government of Mexico had failed in its duty to Texas. It then states that "these and other grievances were patiently borne until they reached the point at which forbearance ceased to be a virtue." It declares that the Texans then took up arms in defense of the "national Constitution" —that is, the Constitution of Mexico— but that now "the necessity of selfpreservation decrees an eternal political separation." It closes by committing the issue to the decision of the "Supreme Arbiter of the destinies of nations." The first name signed is that of Richard Ellis, the president of the gathering. Then follow the names of flfty-ene others who were present. Sam Houston was one of these. Last come the names of six others who were elected delegates, but were not present, and signed later. Nearly all of the fifty-eight names are now perpetuated as the names of counties on the map of Texas. After all, however, one can not help feeling tbat this declaration of indeoenrtence was largely a matter of form. Practically speaking the connection with the mother country had already been severed. There had been some months of actual fighting. The battles of Ooncepoion, Goliad and Gonzales had already been fought. San Antonio had already been captured by the Texans and recaptured by the Mexicans. At the very time the convention was in session Travis, Bowie, Crockett and their brave followers were making their last heroic stand at the Alamo. On Sunday, March 6, the last letter written by Travis waa received. When the president read the message one member sprang to his feet and moved that the members of the convention arm themselves and march immediately to the Alamo to relieve Travis. , Sam Houston opposed this. He claimed that the first duty of the convention was to establish a government and a constitution. He offered to collect troops himself and march to the relief. This he did, but all toofcate. On the night of the very day when they were discussing It—Sunday, March 6, 1836— the final attack was made. All the world knows the result The Alamo fell, hut its glorious fall made forever Impossible the failure of Texan independence, BO peacefully declared in the qniet town of Washington only a few days before.

"Having lived a very active life as wife and working partner of a busy minister, my health failed me a few years ago.

My daughter is a confirmed invalid, and we both felt great need Of an invigorator. t(One of my neighbors advised me to try Peruna.

Dr. Hartman was among the first of America's great physicians to make this di-fcoveiy. For forty years be has been treating diseases peculiar to women, and long ago he reached the conclusion that a woman entirely free from catarrhal affection of these organs would not be subject to female disease. B e therefore began using Peruna for these cases and found it so admirablv adapted t o their permanent cure that Peruna has now become the most famous remedy for female diseases ever known. Everywhere the women a r e using i t and praising it. Peruna i s not a palliative simply; i t cures by removing tho cause of female disease.

There were 75 young boys signed the pledge and joined the anticigarette League at Ann Arbor last Sunday. The movement is widespread. I n the city of Cleveland alone there are 15,000 boys who have pledged to abstain from and to tight the use of the cigarette. The national league numbers about a million and a half. I t is hoped that the work which has been begun, in the Toung Men's Christian Association may grow and that from this nucleus of 75 boys who have already taken the pledge the campaign may be extended until it has touched every boy in the city of Ann Arbor and elsewhere.

These 20 barrels will require 40 pounds of lime, which costs 22 cents more, making the total cost of 65 cents for 20 barrel or 3J cents per barrel.

The value of a plaster cast as a portrait of the dead or living face cannot for a moment be questioned. It must of necessity be absolutely true to nature. It cannot flatter; it cannot caricature. It shows the subject as he was or is, not only as others saw him in the actual flesh, but as he saw himself. And in the case of the death mask particularly it shows the subject often as he permitted no one but himself to see himself. He does not pose; he does not "try to loot feasant." In his mask he Is seen, as it were^ with his mask off. Saved many a time. Don't neglect coughs and colds even if it is spring.

Carrie Jenne^t to the Thirteenth street commons and committed ono of the most ghastly und bloody crimes known to the Detroit police, the murderer faced Judge Murphy in the Recorder's Court and heard imposed the sentence of life imprisonment at hard labor in the state prison iu Jackson. A few hours later a train was whirling him away from the scene of his terrible deed to begin his silent, solitary life. The wheels of justice revolved rapidly, but there was no formality omitted, no Btone unturned to grant to the cringing wretch in the prisoner's box every right accorded him by the laws of the state, .ludge Murphy demanded that the examination and trial proceed with every .sitm.jDf fairness and regard for decency. He insisted upon every possible i»ccautlou being taken to spare, if possible, In some slight way. the Invalid wife and the innocent children. The formalities of the law were all observed and soon after 5 o'clock Saturday afternoon a life sentence at hard labor in the Jackson penitentiary was imposed. The sheriff wasted no time and at 8:30 o'clock that night the murderer was on his way to prison In charge of Deputy Sheriff Wra. Gorman.

The ciar will probably be obliged to recall some of uis troops from China to assist in subjugating the obstreperous Russian students. Santos-Dumont enthusiastically says America Is the greatest country on earth. Can he be foolish enough to believe that this is news to us? To the Berlin charge about the paste diamonds worn at Prince Henry's ball at Chicago the Windy City retorts that, anyway, they were not Rhine stones. It was the same old Fort Sumter that frowned down upon President Roosevelt at Charleston, but the times have changed since the days of the siege. The czar has massed 10.000 fresh troops in China. The force will be inadequate, however, unless one Russian is equal to a full regiment of Chinamen. The great powers of the world are ;not so much concerned for the territorial integrity of China as they are about the prompt payment of indemnity claims. If the packing interests of the country continue to advance prices, the genius of man will have to be called upon to invent a substitute for sirloin and porterhouse. While there is room for improvement in modern burial customs, the evening funeral is not likely to become what the society reporters would call "deservedly popular." Future reception committees for royal visitors will do well to remember that after Prince Henry boarded the Deutsehland, he slept almost continuously for forty-eight hours. Trnut Bnyii SUKUT licet Stock. Negotiations which have been pent! ng several days between the stockholders of the Kay City sugar factory and the representatives of Ilavemeyer were consummated Saturday when G. G. Scranton. of Detroit, turned over to stockholders a eertihed check in exchange for one-half the stock of the company and left on the evening train for home. Havemeyer interests paid par for the stock and asked to have one dirci.tor on the board who will be selected at the annual meeting to bo held on April 1!0. The Havemeyer director will be Charles H. Warren," of Detroit, who is also director in other Michigan factories in which Havemeyer has obtained an interest, vl7..: Caro. Croswell and Alma. The trust is obtaining an interest iu such factories as have proven to be good profitmakers M i e n T a x CnNCM. In considering the cases incident to the discovery that a goodly number of Niles citizens hold the city treasurers* receipts for taxes on property which has been advertised for sale by the auditor general because it has been returned delinquent, Circuit Judge Cootedge has raised an important question whether the state is barred by the statute of limitations from the enforcement of a lien for taxes levied under the earlier tax laws. It is provided in the tax law of ISSi! that the taxes as sensed thereunder shall "become a Hen on such real property and the-lien for such amount and for all interest and charges thereon shall continue until payment thereof." The press is an educator whose claims are beginning to be recognized. The superintendent of the public schools of Bvanston, 111., has advised children to read the newspapers. If the charmed shirts that the Filipinos are wearing can go through an American steam laundry without fading or ripping it is high time Uncle Sam imported a lot for home use. Mrs. Harry Payne Whitney says she finds that New York high society is silly. Mrs. Whitney is a young woman who doesn't regard the biggest string of pearls as the greatest thing on earth. The New York World agrees that it is rot a bad precedent that Boston sets for letting a good man know how war-nly his work has been appreciated while he is still living to enjoy the compliment King Edward, it is announced, will ghrs a dinner to half a million poor persons in London as a feature of the celebration following his coronation. After the pageant and the rejoicings are over it might be well for the king to give serious consideration, if he is capable**!

Mrs. Heywood was held by the police for several days and let go, it being evident that she was not an accessory. She admitted that im- ""proper relations had existed between herself and Jones for some time and laid bare the story of Jones' infatuation for her. For the first time she admitted that she thought Jones was the man who killed her husband, nnd declared that she was now prepared to do everything to convict the one she believes to be the felon. Rymer, who was at ono time a partner of Jones, came on from Lincoln. Neb., and is held by the police as a witness. Jones maintains the utmost coolness and denies that he killed Heywood. A n o t h e r Murder i n D e t r o i t . Edward T.

The fratricide was the culmination of a quarrel over business matters, and the single bullet which tlie one tired at the other, cause4» death In eight minutes. The murderer escaped without hindrance and roamed at large for over two hours, tinally giving himself up. The Only other persons in the suloin at the time of the shooting were Herman Sidick. bookkeeper and manager rov the brothers In their wrecking business; Charles Reagan, a recently employed bartender, and Capt.

Etc *** [Copyright, 1901. by Street and Smith, New York.] • CHAPT1TB X. l a the Street of the Steen, It a|I happened in quaint old Antwerp, and Charlie Stuart found reason to believe that seldom in romance or history had a more singular adventure befallen a pilgrim from London than chanced to ht3 lot on this same day. , The morning was half spent 'and Stuart found himself somewhat at a loss to know what he should turn to next for amusement. He had idled in tho markets, discovering new and attractive features constantly; had been through the various museums and picture galleries—in short, exhausted the sights of old Antwerp, and was on tho point ot considering his exodus, which wou'.d occur just as soon as he could make up his mind where his next objective point on thu map of Europe or tho world would be. Then it was that Fortune, flcklo jade, took the pilgrim from London by, the throat a3 it were, and radically changed the whole course of his exist ence. As he stood there idly twisting his blonde mustache., he became aware of the fact that someone was bearing down upon him at a swift pace, some one whose , quick, energetic movements reminded him irresistibly of a hawk pouncing upon its prey—someone who held out a hand in eager greeting and seemed bubbling over with animal spirits. Stuart welcomed him eagerly. His name was Barnaby—Artemus Wycherly Claude Barnaby—and his profession that of an amateur dramatic novelist. It was simpxy astonishing, the weird fancies generated in that erratic brain of his, each of which exceeded all others in phantasmagoric and, it must be confessed, sometimes ludicrous splendor. "Just the man of all England I wanted to see. Consider it a lucky omen, by Jove, to run across you in this manner. I'm going to en.1st your sympathy and co-operation in a little scheme I have on foot, my boy, and, you can depend upon It, I won't take 'no' for an answer, so consider yourself engaged as the second conspirator." "Well, I don't know about that; but what wild, hair-brained scheme have you on foot at present?" "Charlie, I've run across the noblest theme for a startling drama that ever bobbed up in anybody's path. Why, it actually opens an opportunity for fame and fortune to the gifted genius who has boldness enough to grasp the chance." "You have, of course, visited the Steen, that great castle down the street yonder, once a prison of the Inquisition, now a museum. Did you take a guide with lighted flambeaus and explore the frightful dungeons under the castle, each cell and corridor of which seems to exhale hideous memories of the tortures inflicted upon unfortunate prisoners in the Dark Ages, when Spanish cruelty ruled this country with an iron hand?" Stuart replied in the negative. Hte artist soul had feasted on the treasures which lay littered about the courtyard of the onetime palace; but the musty dungeons he had but hastily surveyed, being naturally averse to tho contemplation of such horrors. "Ch, I am glad of that." eaid Artemus, eagerly, "for you will be better prepared to accompany me to those same dungeons now." "The deuce!" exclaimed Charlio, taken aback; but, not in the least disconcerted, the other went on: "Tell me, have you heard the story or rumor that is circulated here and there through certain circles about <t modern man in the Iron Mask supposed to be incarcerated in the Steen dungeons?" "I remember hearing some little, talk about such a thing, but really never pursued,the subject." "Briefly, then, It has long been whispered that there was -recently, an/1 may still continue to be, a secret prisoner confined in a lonely dungeon under yonder massive pile of masonry— a man whose face is forever hidden behind ah iron mask that is secured by a padlock. I have reached the conclusion that this man of mystery might be some troublesome heir to the German throne, or else a son of Louia Napoleon. Think for a minute what wonderful possibilities this vista opens to the dramatist! it is quite enough to inspire the dullest mind! And I am resolved to explore those ancient dungeons personally, as no one has ever done before, with the secretly avowed purpose ot learning whether I may found my great drama upon a truth, or the mere fabric o'f a Dutch legend. And you will accompany me, my boy, out of pure philanthropy, to share in the exhilaration of success"—touching a suspicious bottlelike package he carried under his left arm—"or to support me in case of exasperating failure." - • — - - Charlie Stuart eould not say him nay; he really had nothing on foot whereby to kill time, and Artemus was such a jolly and original dog that it were worth something to have the pleasure of his society for a spac3 of time. So, hesitating, he fell. And, thus sauntering down the street of the Steen, the two ^friends arrived in the shadow of the great building whose history stretched back centuries into the dim past. —Together-iiiey-tmteredr like other pilgrims desirous of gazing upon the art treasures which lay within those ancient walls. Charlie had seen all these before, and cast but a casual glance around, being more deeply interested in the actions of his confederate. An old dame with her wide cap started toward them, but one""glanco from Artemus' eyes seemed to bring about a decided change in her intentions, for she .stood still, and then backed away. It was a signal victory, or, a3 Artemus expressed it, a "howling success;" nevertneless, his companion was still fain to believe the magic of gold had more to do with the old lady's sudden blindness than the exertion of rare hypnotic powers on the part of the proud wizard. Content to follow the other's lead, Charlie soon found himself in that apartment where several tall brass candlesticks stood upon an antique table, to be used in exploring tho mysteries below. Artemus motioned that he should straightway possess himself of one, In order that their candles might have a proper receptacle, and Char.ie, having enlisted for the war, come weal, come woe, took up the nearest of the lot, which was in itself a treasure of art. Nervously Artemus tried several keys in rapid succession, muttering to himself the while in a way peculiar to him. At last came a l'tle subdued screech that announced success on the part of the chattering idiot at his side. They were evidently in for it. since the ponderous door opened before them. Charlie was not the one to hold back, so he stepped beyond the portal and went down. Immediately the door closed, and tho clang of it was unlike any sound he could ever remember hearing. That creaking, rusty key nrned in the lock. "Now," said Artemus, in a shrill voice, pregnant with eager anticipation, "now we are in control, and the devil dungeons of the Steen must' yield up their ghastly secrets to a master." Down the venerable stairs £hey wended their way. Could those saniy steps have been gifted with the power of speech, what strange and startling iale3 they might have given forth, c-.' human misery, of historical personages and deeds that would have made the bravest cho-eks pale. But they were mute. The dread secrets of the dim past would ever be safe in their keeping. "Hark!" Artemus uttered this word in a shrill whisper, and at the same, time clutched -his companion's arm. Their surroundings were so eerie that it was not wonderful that his vivid imagination seized upon the slightest pretext lo arouse the ghosts that had lain here for long centuries. "What you hear is only the gurgling of the river Sheldt beneath our feet. At the foot of the worn stone staircase we descended there is a trap In the solid stone, through which opening many a wretched condemned man met his fate. Yes. it was only the fretful flood you heard crying peevishly for more victims." Charlie's calm manner quite reassured the other. "Perhaps you are right; but it sounded wonderfully like a human voice calling for help." Thus in tiers the dungeons lay, each individual one seeming to surpass its predecessors In awful associations. Long had they been at their task. The regular routine pursued by tourist and guide had been done; but there were other dark passages to explore, gloomy as the river S t y x - passages that the ordinary voyager never saw, but which Artemus was bound to Investigate; for if perchance there was a grain of truth tn ' thn story he had heard, surely the prisoner of tEe Jfoa MasS must b'e found in such an unused quarter. Charlie began to feel a bit anxious, He was about ready to confess that for one he had quite enough of it, and only figured on how he might manage to curb this insatiate ambition on the part ot his companion. The task was taken from bis hands, however, and in a most unexpected manner. Artemus was eagerly urging him on to "fresh fields and pastures new," while Charlie held the other in check, fearful lest they fall into some horrible pit, with rusty spikes at the bottom, such as they had discovered in one dungeon, when, suddenly, without warning, tnere came to their ears a sound so strange in this uncanny region, so utterly out of sympathy with thejr surj:ojand_ings, that both men stood Btill, as though paralyzed —and the sound was as of a woman weeping! !U*tME BAKINQ POWMR SEIZED CHAPTER IL What They Found. There were those who knew Prince Charlie well who had reason to believe he had passed through some unpleasant experience with lovely woman— been deceived, perhaps jilted. Although always gallant toward the fair sex, he seemed to be ever on his guard; as though quite determined no mortal who wore petticoats should have a second opportunity to play battledore and shuttlecock with his heart. But this was something entirely out of the common run; and as he stood there listening, to make sure there could be no mistake, he felt an electric thrill pervade his whole being, such as he never before experienced. Charlie determined to go forward. He was surprised at himself for the peculiar resolution that urged him on. It seemed as though he were being dragged forward by some inexorable fate, whether he would or not. And the sound of sobbing still continued, stealing along the gaunt passagewajrs. The darkness beyond was apparently as fearfully dense as that which descended upon poor, plaguestricken Egypt at the time Pharaoh declined to let the children of Israel go. ~ As Charlie advanced he noted that the sound, which had erstwhile reached their hearing but faintly, grew more distinct. Thus he was present-*. ly able to place the sobbing, and, still advancing, he began to discern the dim outlines of a figure upon i.he ground. As he drew closer he saw that this was a girl in a long cloak, and that she had hidden her face in her hands, as though to shut out the ghostly figures conjured up by the gloom. One thing was very sure—when Artemus, in the earlier stages of their exploration, declared he heard a faint shout, it had not been the gurgle of the greedy Sheldt gliding underneath the crypts and corridors, i s he (Charlie) had so confidently declared, but in all probability, this lost explorer calling for nelp, Well, thank God they had found her, and were in a position to render her the assistance she craved. After all, It had not been such a wildgoose chase as he had believed when yielding to the importunities of his adventurous comrade. They advanced closer still. As yet the distresse.. one was not aware of their presence, or the blessed answer to her prayers. Her attitude of abandon was mo3t effective, and Charlie could not but think what a charming picture she made there, overwhelmed, not by grief, but the terror of her situation.

More of the powder was found in a Sixth ave. department store. The report of the analysis of the Health Department stated that it was "an alum baking powder" containing alum and pulverized rock.

Notwithstanding that, however, the last census shows that there is at same time a steady increase in the percentage of native American population.

The total population of what is now the Greater New York was then, in round figures, 2,460,000, the number of native born inhabitants being 1,520.000, and of foreign-born Inhabitants 940,000.

TTh»t la th*. Tru© VForoan ? "Perfect woman, nobly planned, to warn, to comfort and command," described by Wordsv/orth as the ideal of his age, meets with various definitions at the dawn of the twentieth century. Kipling called her in "The Vampire." "a rag and a bone and a hank of hair," but this has not been accepted as the last word. Maeterlink is rather nicer, when he speaks of her as "the only mystic." Meredith says that by virtue of her abundant hair she is more of a vegetable than man. Isobel Osborne Stevenson, the stepdaughter of Robert Louis Stevenson, voiced one notion of womanhood at a tea given in her honor by Professor Eugene Lamb Ricnards of Yale. She had spoken of Mrs. Stevenson as about the perfect woman, borne one asked if she could write. "No," was the reply. A fire of questions developed the admissions that Mrs. Stevenson was not peculiarly gifted in any artistic direction, and that she had no great interest in charities or women's clubs. "Just wnat is your mother'3 specialty?" finally asked a young tutor's wife. "Oh," replied Mrs. Strong, "she can roll cigarettes and talk te men." A rostmasUr's Discovery. Lancaster, N.

Both are poisons and both of organic origin, but a venom is produced in secreting organs, commonly called poison glands, and is introduced into the system by means especially adapted for the purpose, such as htings or fan^s. On the other hand, a virus is the result of disease or putrefaction and generally possesses the property of exciting in the system into which it is introduced the disease which pradru-od the virus. A virus commonly produces little if any local disturbance. A venom generally oauses great pai:i. ol'ten severe inflammation and swelling. Vonom has a marked local eti'ect. Virus causes a general disturbance of the system. Notice. Those who are owin^' Patrick Welsh are requested to settle with Mr?. Welsh as soon as convenient as she desires to ^o awav. * t!8 Notice.

Minister Fouche, delighted to please the princess, called at the poet's humble attic. The poet put his head out senator refused to puy either transfer of the window of his garret and espy- or fare. The conductor then took hold Ing a carriage escorted by gendarmes, concluded that the boldness of his remarks with regard to a universal peace had been badly received by the emperor and that they had come to arrest ,him. Prompted by^ihr fearr Dubois considered it most prudent to and ejected him. Then the conductor left the senator and was returning to the car with his back to the senator, when the latter approached the former and struck him with a knife.

"Does not your htghness recollect a letter sent to me about three months ago. most pressingly recommending a M. Dubois, a man of letters, In whom your highness took the greatest interest?" "One moment," said the princess, and then a smile overspread her beautiful features. "My protege, M. le Due, was a poor poet, a relative of one of my maids, who Bent~TSe"^»n ode. What have you done with him? Have you given him a stool In one of your departments?" The minister, nettled at having been duped in that way, took particular care to suppress the fact of his having made a grand functionary of Dubois. Unfortunately, Pouche's friends at court got wind of the thing and there was an end of the secret. Napoleon himself was vastly amused at it and bantered his minister. Dubois was recalled, but already 300,000 francs had been paid to him. HE MADE A TOO GENEROUS OFFER. Hooi>er. Senator Money pleaded not guilty to a charge af assault, and asked for n trial by Judge. The other two defendants also pleaded not guilty. FlaTfctln« t h e Moroa. Two engagements have been fouerht between the American troops and the Moroa of the island of Mindanao during the last 21 hours. Moore, of the Twenty-seventh Infantry, whilf out with a small party hunting for water, was fired on tit long ranjre. Lieut. Frahk D. Baldwin, with a battalion of troops and a mountain gun, went to the assistance of Moore's party and drove off the Moros. who lost seven men. The firing was at 1,100 yards' rnnse. The Moro villages were flying red flajfs, meaning that they intended to fiifht to the uttermost. Later. Sultan Pualo and a force of natives attempted to 'reoccupy the ground pained by the Americans, but the Moros were forcibly dispersed. Dr. Eme n o o Was Too Hatty to Do Kindly Dee.L Dr. Edward W.

The waiter pushed the finger bowl toward Uncle Cyrus, who was dining at the Waldorf-Astoria. "No, thankee," sain Uncle Cyrus, with some heat "YW didd't bring thet when I fust sat down an' it's too late now." Easy Choice. "Which do you prefer," asked the friend, "classical music or classical plays?" "Classical music, every time," answered Mr. Cumrox, *"i aere is always noise enough in that to keep you awake." the victim of his own generosity, says the New York Tribune. In Concord, where Dr. Emerson lives, one of the best known characters is a simpleminded old fellow, whose actions furnish the villages with an Inexhaustible fund of amusement. Among the odditieB of the old codger, who Is locally known as "Charlie," is a fondness for reading. No one has ever discovered how much of bis reading m for pleasure, but "Charlie" is never seen without at least one book under his arm. The other day "Charlie" came to Dr. Emerson, and said sorrowfully: "Doctor, they wont let me take books out of the library any more." Dr. Emerson has a fine private library, and, moved by the sadness in "Charlie's" tone, said kindly: "Never mind, 'Charlie.' You may take any book of m'.ne you wish." Satisfied with this assurance, "Charlie" departed, and did not return for several days. Then he came back, and said doubtfully: "You said I might take any book of yours I wanted, didn't you?" The doctor assented, wondering what was coming. "That means any book you own, doesn't it?" queried "Charlie." Again the doctor assented. "Well, then," said "Charlie/' triumphantly, "let me take your mileage book." Not t h e Question. "I can get along without you," said the employer, curtly, to the clerk whom he had discharged.

In the old days of gambling the men who played highest were very frequently the most easily duped. Wrothesly, duke of Bedford, was infamously robbed by a gang of sharpers of whom Beau Nash was tae head. The duke had been plundered out of over $350,000 at hazard, when, suspecting the dice to be loaded, he rose in a passion, put them In his pocket and refused to play or pay further until he had examined them. He retired to another room and fell asleep, affording the conspirators the chance to pick his pockets and substitute legitimate dice for the loaded. The duke on awakening and finding the dice correct played again and lost a further $150,000. Beau Nash, not getting a sufficient share formed the duke, venture befell a duke of Norfolk early in the last century. He went through the same ceremony of carrying off the dice and falling- asleep wun them In his possession., In this Instance, however, the thieves got a notorious desperado to go into the room with a brace of pistols and new dice, with Instructions to shoot the duke If the latter were awake and to change the dice If he were asleep.

When I had finished reading, this lady said something very civil; and I thought she was Andrew Qark'f daughter, so i patted her on the shoulder very affectionately and said. 'My dear girl, that's very kind of you, very kind.' I heard the czar ehuckltnt mightily to himself, so I looked more nearly at her, and God bless met it was the csarina herself.

The most popular tenant of a certain studio building In New York la a bachelor' anist whose place as a painter waa fixed very high years ago in public estimation. His name is one of a dozen that the average American would call off as' those of leading American artists, uut for the purposes -of this story he may be called Mr. House. People who know Mr. House will holt doufcfcfhe atoryl for it is characteriirac'of him. Not' long ago he decided that he needed a large frog/as a model for a certain picture. He went out to a pond }n New Jersey where just such froga were to be found and at the expense of wetting his shoes he succeeded in catching a fine specimen. He brought his frog home in a pail and left him in his studio while he went oat to dinner. When he returned, feeling wearied with his exertions, he fell asleep on his couch. He awoke with a atart about 11 o'clock at night. An ouusnal noise had aroused him. Everything in his studio seemed to be ail right Then his eyes were attracted to the tin pail in which he kept his frog.. There waa the frog suspended on,the edge, of the pail with his head hanging ever, looking at him steadily. The artist returned the look for a minute. During that time his ideas of froga underwent a change. There was something almost human in this frog's gaze. "I'm .jjot .going to hurt you, old chap,*' said the artist, "and when you have served my purpose I will turn you loose in the Union Square fountain." The frog moved his head slightly. "Perhaps that isn't as pleasant a place as your New Jersey pond. I wondet if they don't let that fountain run dry sometimes? There may not be the right kind of food there for frogs ' and pernaps the small—boys plague them. By Jove, perhaps there are no other frogs there! What then? This fellow might as well die as be isolated in that fashion." The-frog moved again as if agreeing with this last observation. "I never thought much about you fellows,** continued the artist; "and you probably have feelings something like human beings. You may have brothers to whom you are attached, and you probably have ymir own drams without whom you would be lonesome. I ought not to have brought you here. It was a thoughtless act1* The mtijce the artist thought about it the more his conscience pricked, until at last he decided to take the frog back to his own New Jersey pond. He could reach it by trolley. It was then nearly midnight He felt that he could not sleep with that melancholy homesick frog in his room, so he started for New Jersey with the tin pail on his arm. It was a nasty trip to this pond at night hut the artist made it, and when he was met on his return by his neighbor he said after telling the story: "The kerflop that frog mad » when he struck the water amply rewarded me for all my trouble." The neighbor who tells the story admits that it may sound a little foolish to people who don't know House, but aa the artist told it to him it waa tragic and convincing. "Oti! Good.

Calendar respecting a venerable white-haired clergyman; says the Lqadon Globe, who waa the recipient of several simultaneous requests inom young ladies for a lock of his hair. The requests were compiled with, the clergyman being pleased to fulfill wishes which seemed founded on a sentiment of respect; and all went well until his wife received this note;. "Dear Mrs. : Won't you please ask your husband to send me just a little lock of his hair? We have all been taking lessons in making hair flowers. So many of the ether girls girls asked him, and he sent it to them, that X thought. I would rather ask you to get it for me. Won't you please do this for me?

Judge Clarke of St. LcHls hat convicted and fined heavily a number of grocers for selling baking powders containing alum. The week before the Health Depart* ment of New York seized a quantity of stuff being sold for baking powder which they found was made from alum mixed with ground rock, and dumped it Into the river. , The Health Authorities are thus taking effective means to prevent the introduction into our markets of Injurious substitutes in place of wholesome baking powders. As alum costs only two cents a pound, there 13 a great temptation for those manufacturers who make substitutes and imitation goods, to use it Alum baking powders can be detected by the health authori tl es by chemical analysis, but the ordinary housekeeper, whose assistance in protecting the health of tha people is important, cannot make a chemical examination. She may easily know the alum powders, however, from the fact that they are sold at from ten to twenty cents for a pound can, or that some prize—like a spoon or glass, or piece of crockery, or wooden ware—is given with the powder as an inducement. As the people continue to realize the importance of this subject and consumers insist on having baking powder of established name and cnaracter, and as the health authorities continue their vigorous crusades, the alum danger will, it is hoped, finally be driven frorr our homes.

"The craft waa a little, shaky affair, which plied between St. Louis and Cairo. It had a stern wheel, a place for freight and passengers, a pilot bouse and a place on what may be called the pilot deck for the engine. "That *engine'4went aboard when it was needed, and only then. It burned no wood or coal, but ate a powerful sight of grass. It was a large gray mule named Jerry, which worked a treadmill that propelled the—boat. Samuel Clemens was chief engineer and pilot "He had a system of signals which was effective and ingenious. By pull' ing a cord he could raise a head of cabbage just out of reach of the mule. The 'engine' would start and begin to walk after it, and the boat floated majestically down or up the river, as the case might be. "Without desiring to be personal, I will say that Jerry was one of the most intelligent animals I ever met. His voice was more on the order of a fog horn than a whistle, being too much of a barytone for the latter. When Samuel wanted to whistle for A landing he just hit Jerry with a stick." —Youth's Companion. EXPERIENCE MEETING ANEODOTE. Bishop Used « t o s t Child to Point a Christian mmtmU It had been an experience meeting. Ten thousand people were assembled in the great auditorium by the sea. There had been the handshake, the waving of handkerchiefs, the hymn, the prayer, the word which told the spiritual history of many a soul. The bishop stood upon the platform in the act of pronouncing the benediction. Emotion was at its height; it seemed as if a spiritual wave had crept over the multitude, wrapping it la a divine caress. At that moment a" little child—war passed up to the platform and the bishop took It in his arms. "Lost child," were the whispered words. The baby put its dimpled arms around the bishop's neck and laid its head upon his shoulder. Its yellow curls mingling with his gray hair. "Lost child," said the bishop. In his deep, sympathetic voice, "does anyone in the audience know this baby or to whom it belongs? Will the father and mother come and claim it?" There was silence and the baby nestled closer, and the women who sat near said "Oh!" Then a man was seen making his way to the altar; It was the baby'.-? father. Instantly the child stretched out its arms to go to htm. Then, as he gave it up, the bishop said: "There are 10,000 lost souls in Ocean Grove. The Father's arms are waiting to receive them. So, go to your Father's outstretched arms as does this little child."—Detroit Free Press. SEVEN PRINOIPAL ROUTES. It is a well-known fact that the C, M. & St P. Ry. system offers a great many different routes between Chicago and St. Paul and Minneapolis. Its main line between those points is especially well known as the route over which runs the famous "Pioneer Limited" and the Government Fast Mail Train. There are six or seven other routes over a number of which are run through coaches and sleeping cars, which are almost as direct as the principal main line. These various routes traverse the most interesting and attractive sections of Illinois, Wisconsin, Iowa and Minnesota, including the celebrated "Lake Region" of Wisconsin, and cross the Wisconsin river at the famous "Dells," where is the most picturesque scenery in the Northwest The main line and several others include from 150 to 300 miles of romantic and picturesque scenery along the Mississippi river. On these various lines are located the most important towns and cities in the Northwest Both one way and special excursion tickets between Chicago, St. Paul and Minneapolis are honored via any one of these direct lines. The teachers attending the Natl on a1 Educational Convention at Minneapolis will appreciate and take advantage of this fact as they can have a choice of routes going and returning.

Then the doctor tumbled and said, "That's pretty gocd. I'll just go down the street and try that on Theodore Hallam." Down the street he went, looking for Mr. Hallam. He finally found him and, producing the pencil, said: "Theodore, here's a pencil that I can write any color I want to with." Then the doctor gathered himself for a good laugh. "Let's see you write ecrti," said Mr. Hallam. The doctor smiled, picked up a piece of paper and started to work, and for ten consecutive seconds said nothing. Then he said swear words, and added: "I have forgotten how to spell that word." Pe-ru-M Crettioga National sensation is the Core of Chronic Ailments of the Kidneys. Major T. H.

Frederick Taylor, a son of the late Moses Taylor of this city, known internationally for his work as aa explorer was a passenger on the steamship Nord America, which arrived recently. Mr. Taylor made a study of the Boer prison camps in Ceylon and Bermuda, explored the Jungles of Borneo, visited the Malay Peninsula, and many points of interest in China and Japan. Mr. Taylor had no very exalted opinion of the commercial integrity of the Japanese, especially when compared with that of the Chinese. "It has been the experience," said he, "of all good sound banks in the far east and most particularly of the Chartered Bank of India, Australia, and China, that In all their dealings with Chinese merchants for many years they never lost a dollar, while with the Japanese they lost thousands. During the time I was in Japan eight banks failed. The Japanese government is in financial difficulty, largely the result of undertaking the building of its own ships, the establishment of steel foundries, and the expenses of war with China. Unless there are early reductions of expenditures, Japan will soon be bankrupt. But in the matter of enterprise the Japanese are the Yankees of the east" —New York Times. Wanted to B« Pr«p«r*4l.

The storm which swept the lakes Friday night and Saturday has its accompaniments OT wrecks and loss of life. From nearly every point on the lakes comes some report of disaster, and it is positively known that several vessels have been lost. The storm w a s the most severe In years, and embraces all parts of the lakes, but centering particularly over Lakes Michigan, Huron and Erie. Schooner Grace E. Grlbbe foundered off Point Pelee and went to pieces. Capt. Wilson and t w o men washed ashore on wreckage. Three sailors drowned. Details of the effects of the storm come in slow owing to the damage to telegraph wires. *" • * AljfotHto B a n k F n i U d .

T h e defunct bank contained $32,000 in deposits. •. the greater part of which will probebiy be lost, as the. present assets of the bank are very poor. George W, .Carman, t h e h e a d - o f t h e Marine Savings twruk of Marine City, will open a new bank at Algonac. Mr. Carman Is known all over the state and has been in the hanking business since 1879. There is the probability that considerable litigation will follow the failure, a s bankruptcy proceedings will be started. It appears that neajrly every merchant, sailor, hired girl and schoolboy or girl hod money in the defunct Algonae bank. The Algonae *enooi district had $100 in the bank; the township about $500; the village, $1)00; Harseu Island school district, $2,350; J. J. Harper, $2,350; the Maccabees, Odd Fellows and United Workmen small umounts, and about 100 other depositors had from $1 to $300. There was a meeting of the depositors Thursday afternoon in the town hall. Probate Judge Stephen Graham of Port Huron was appointed as their attorney. It is believed the bank's liabilities are about $32,000. The assets remain as yet unknown. .1. Will Mc- Keuxle bus left town. King Leopold would hardly win the prise in a popularity contest at which his loving subjects were permitted to vote. The wonder of it is that the Russian ministers of the interior go on permitting the presence of students in that country. Most of us would rather be looking i t the train through a telescope when it was breaking a world's speed record than be riding on it. | It is announced that the czar has secured no exclusive rights in Manchuria, When he wants them, however, he will reach for them. Chanare of Venue. Thomas 1«'. MeGarry, under indictment for bril>ery in the Lake Michlgau water boodle s c h e m e , w i l l l>e tried i n another county than Kent. This was decided by Judge N'ewnham when he granted a motion of the defense for a change of venue, but the county to which the case Is to be transferred has not been announced by the judge. When the motion was reviewed the judge asked the prosecution if it had anything to say und Mr. Ward replied he did not know that he had anything; that he fully appreciated the difficulty In securiug a jury here, that he considered a fair effort had. been made and that he would be satisfied with any course the court might take. When M. Sanfcos-Dumont can come aver the ocean in his flying machine, he can snap his fingers at the crass officials in the customhouses. The president took luncheon in the women's building at the Charleston exposition. Think of strenuous Teddy eating lady fingers and lemon ice! The $250 fine imposed on the Princeton students for defacing a monument looks a good deal like visiting the sins of the children on the fathers. A man accused of murder in Detroit was wearing celluloid cuffs when arrested. Many persons therefore will doubt whether an alibi can save him. Roads Matt Obey Order*. The department of justice, at the request of the secretary of war, has directed District Attorney Oovell to be- Tin criminal proceedings against the Big Four and Pere Marquette railroads, for refusing to oliey the act of March 4, 1890. declaring Paw Paw river a navigable stream. The war department a year ago notified both companies to unlock the draws of their bridges at Itenton Harbor so that vessels could get through. The companies have failed to obey the orders. Proceedings will l>e by indictment by the grand jury in the United States Court at (Jrand Rapids, presumably against the presidents. There must be a sorry state of affairs in Russia when the assassination of a prominent officer of the government is considered cause for a celebration. The blow has fallen. New York society has been forced to give up pingpong because it is within the reach of the middle classes. Pity the sorrows of the rich. Envious editors who can't get away may now reprint with satisfaction the old definition of a fishing rod as "a pole with a worm at one end and a fool at the other." E x p e n s i v e Shoes. J. M. Blgelow, the young ipnn who was arrested in Albion for obtaining goods under false pretenses, proved to be .1. M. Barker, of Quincy. He pleaded guilty to that charge when arraigned, and was taxed a line of $10 and costs. The boy'n father, who is said to be a retired fanner, drove from Quincy during the night to render financial assistance to the son in his dilemma. It seems that young Barker, in company with another companion, were out for a time taking in several of the neighboring towns and became Infatuated with a pair of patent leather shoes, which was the cause of his downfall. Surgeons have performed an operation on Emperor William's face. For the future peace and happiness of the surgeons let us hope the face may come out all right. The news that the prices of provisions are going up ought to inspire some scientist to invent a cheap and nutritions dinner tablet to be taken with water three times a day. K a o l i n * .With a Qun, Roy Nichols, a 14-year-old Saginaw lad, w a s shot and probably fatally injured by Andrew Fmzer Wednesday night. Frazer*s story is that the boy picked up a revolver which had been taken apart and-'began snapping it. Frazer said in fun: ''I've got a gun, too." Pulling one out of his pocket which be didn't think was loaded, he pointed the mu/.zle at the boy and pulled the trigger twice. The first chamber was empty, but the second contained a ball which went through the little fellow's abdomen There appears to be no fear in golf circles that ping pong will supersede it as a social sport It is claimed by some that no outdoor sport equals golf in a social way except, perhaps, plowing. Another old saying has been sent to the scrap heap. Down East a woman married in haste and did not repent j at leisure. On the contrary, she sued for divoree within three days after her wedding. Miller Was a Thief. Prof. .Tabez Montgomery, of the Ann Arlwr high school, was teaching in the early 70s at Woodstock College, Ont., when Joseph M. Miller, sentenced in Detroit for the murder of Carrie Jeunett, wns brought before the faculty for stealing. Wheu the students o* the college, which was a boarding school, were absent from their rooms, Miller would enter and help himself to various articles. He at first denied all guilt, but finally broke down and confessed the whole theft. The Chicago woman who wanted a divorce because her husband quoted poetry to her has been defeated in court It really begins to look as if poetry and the poets were coming t o tlielfrohfc "• Held for Trial.

The state geological survey has just issued u report on the coal of Michigaiu its mode of occurrence and qua 1 - ity, by State Geologist A. C. Lane. It contains a map showing an extreme area of about 11,000 square miles, confined to the central part of the lower peninsula. This map also shows roughly the elevation of the bed rock surface, from which the depth of drift under which the coal measures ire buried may be inferred.

The letter says that this year for the tirst time railroads and other property heretofore paying specific taxes* una to be assessed on the ad valorem pkfrt at true cash value, and that the aggregate useeastnents made by the assessors of the entire state, and the total tax levy for all purposes, will no doubt fix the rate to be paid by railroads and jike property. It Is manifest that if toe'general property of the state is undervalued, the railroad tax levy will be increased, but in so doing there will be great danger of jeopardizing these railroad assessments, an incalculable loss to the state. Assessors are urged to be especially vigilant as regards personal property and get all of It on tbe rolls, securing the sworn statement required by law from each taxpayer in the state. AHOLXD THIS STATE. Shoektutjly Mangled. Caught by her long hair by a rapidly revolving sliaft, Pauline Becker, of Detroit, was killed almost instantly at the Physicians' Phnrmacal Co. laboratory, Thursday morning. So suddenly did the accident occur that the other employes had not time to turn at the sound of her scream of terror before her mangled and disfigured body fell to the tfoor. Miss Becker carried a tray of bottle* to some shelves where a whirling shaft was running, which she came too close- to kn mounting the steps with the tray. Her hair floated loosely and the suction of the shaft caught it. There was a scream and her body was whirled over the shaft at terrible speed. It struck against the beams and rafters, bespattering them with blood. The scalp of the girl was torn loose and her bodf fell against a partition Itetween two tiers of shelves. Her leirs had been Imttered off just l>elow the knee and her arms were broken in many places. Slxlh Murder l a Detroit. John Reinhardt, a stone mason living at 62 Scott street, was shot and killed Friday afternoon by Frank Colling, a 10-year-old boy, whose home is next door. The story of the neighbors as to the shooting is that both the man and l>oy, who live in adjoining houses, came home at noon time. The l>oy commenced to tease Ueinhardt and the latter, in a rage, picked up a sledge hammer and started for his tormentor. Then Colling pulled out a revolver and commenced to shoot. Four shots were fired around Reinhardfs feet, and then Colling raised the gun, and fired point blank at Reinhardt. The bullet pierced his heart and Ueinhardt fell dead. In the patrol wagon en route to the station <tolling manifested no regret for his crime. "Well, is the old guy dead?" he asked. ••Well, he got what he deserved," he added. F a r m e r s Lose by Fire.

He was, therefore, considerably surprised when, springing to her feet, she advanced a step or two toward them, holding out.her hands, a look of great joy illuminating her face, and in a voice which the echoes of her recent sobs still haunted, addressed them in purest English; "Oh, sirs! Heaven has heard my pray3r and sent you to my rescue!" Stuart made, up his mind then and there, strange' as such a proceeding might be, tha^thsre; was a deeper mystery about the presence of this, young girl in these terrifying surroundings than had at first occurred to him. Many things united to make him believe this—the fact of her not being missed by her' party, her maimer in avoiding any reference to the friencte who should be so anxious—yes, then and there h'e became convinced that a story lay back of it as startling, as any product of an opium smoker's dream. Charlie knew it would be well for him to divert the girl's mind as much as possible from the horrors she-had so recently been forced to face. Thus as they walked along, he even grew somewhat merry, and his object was accomplished, since the girl's temporary trembling fit had passed away and she was now calm enough to ask questiona regarding their opportune presence in the dismal place. Several times Charlie knew she was looking at him intently. He believed that he could guess the reason—that she had a story to tell, A story far out of the ordinary run, and was studying him when she thought herself unobserved, studying him to determine whether she dared entrust him with its astonishing details. CHAPTER l i t . Charlie Makes an Engagement. Who was she? This question came into Chalie's mind many times while they walked through those ghostly passages, seeking the worn, stone stairs at the top of which stood the roughly hewn oak door studded with rusty nails. At the foot of the worn stone steps the girl came to a sudden stop. "Sir," she said, addressing Charlie as though he were the only party in sight, "unless I am mistaken these eteps lead up to the museum of the Steen, and we have reached the exit of this horrible underground tomb." "We can be in the light as soon as I unlock tl\e door up yonder," he said Quietly. "One moment, before we ascend. 1 want to catch my breath—to tell you how grateful I am for your timely assistance " "Please don't mention it," said Charlie. "Indeed, it was a great pleasure, fair lady," chirruped Artemus, eagerly. "You overwhelm me with confusion. I have, as you may well suppose, received something of a shock, and hardly feel equal to the task of explaining to you Just now what strange circumstances brought me Into the desperate predicament from which I have been rescued by your assistance. But I trust I may. see you again soon, when the explanation that is due will be gladly given. Forgive me if I say I have been studying you all thiB time, and something tells me I may 'surely trust you with my life. God knows I need friendfe.'* ' , Her words thrilled Charlie. "Pardon me, miss—I should have told you before—my name is Charlie Stuart I am at present an exile from old Londoa, in search of a mission. Perhaps I have found one," he said, with an amused smile. A faint flush chased across her countenance. "And I—am Arline Brand." She had a small reticule attached to her girdle, as was the custom. Opening this, she took out a quaint little TnlaftT card case TThd^ handed" hlm^^blt of pasteboard. . "When you catl, ask for me under that name, by-which I am known. But let me say again—as a duty I owe you, Mr. Stuart—let me give you full warning that, while I appreciate the great favor you have done me, I must tell yo« I have enemies, and that If you should seek to continue the acquaintance so strangely begun, it might possibly bring you into trouble." . "I never jet have allowed fear of mortal man to influence my actions,'' Stuart raid, proodry. "But these man art cruel and nn- 4Janif*ic*Hy.opp^t*v Tett me, whrl & >{ *'<' ¥,*& *+***+*•**' ? * ''•'} * * stranger; I never aaw yon before." > /fQulte true, quite true, young sir/* that science has bees able to cure ia all Its states, sad that Is Catarrh Ball's Catarrh chuckled the other* "but 1 have seen medicalfntenuly^&urifcfelnga coustlt*.i scrupulous. You can realise that after seeing to what a dreadful fate they would have condemned me because I refused to carry, out their will." ™rhey are a set of-preciour scoundrels and cowards!" he declared. "Ah! but perhaps they are all-powerful at court—men in touch with a dynasty that can shake the earth if aroused, to whom one poor human life Is as a fallen leaf," she said, as If testing his loyalty. "It Is the same—I see no reason why I should draw back." Taking out his watch, he continued, in the most deliberate fashion: "It is now almost high noon. At eighty then, this evening, to the minute, I shall do myself the honor of calling upon you at your hotel, and until I am convinced that it is unlawful for me so to do, all the police of Antwerp shall not stop me in my rights of a British citizen traveling under the protection of his flag." Arline impulsively held out her hand. "I thank you. God bless you, Mr. Stuart!" she said, in broken tones. And Charlie, as he felt the little hand quiver and throb in his, found a strong indignation arising within his breast, directed against those unknown parties Who had so mercilessly condemned so charming a young woman to a cruel fate. It was Artemus who unlocked the heavy door and ushered them into the garish light of day, who gravely relieved Charlie of his brass candlestick and placed it, together with the rusty keys, where they belonged. Charlie saw that his companion glanced hastily to the right and left through her veil. Once he was almost sure she gave a start, but by no word did she signify discovery. "Could you get a cab for me?" she asked with a perceptible tremor in her voice. "Easily, no doubt There are usually vehicles waiting outside the Steen. This way, please." Before the vehicle started, Arline Brand threw back the veil, and again Charlie was given the privilege of rooking into those honest blue orbs, rivaling the heavens in their hue. "I will release you from your promise if you regret making it, Mr. Stuart,"- she said, softly. "Thanks; but I am a singularly obstinate man, I fear. At eight to-night I said. Besides, I confess to much curiosity to hear what you promised to tell." Those wondrous eyes, beamed upon him; a little hand crept out to allow of a parting pressure; then the vehicle lumbered away, leaving him there in front of the historic Steen, watching its progress down the crooked thoroughfare, and wondering at the change that had broken into his quiet life. When Charlie Stuart reiterated his rash promise with regard to seeing the owner of those marvelous cerulean orbs that same evening, he had but a faint conception of the magnitude of the task he had taken upon himself. He was dimly conscious of a figuro hanging from the rear window of a second old vehicle—a figure that made all manner of pantomime gestures, and in which he recognized his friend Artemus. Remembering the quaint methods by which Artemus invoked the dramatic muse, he ended with a laugh. "No harm done, I imagine," he said, aloud. To his surprise some one added: "That remains to be seen, young sir." Turning indignantly to see who had dared to thus address him without invitation, Charlie faced a middle-ased gentleman of military aspect, who was regarding him with much urbanity. "I am quite ready to explain the meaning of those words 1 uttered, yoang sir, on condition that you favor me with your name." Charlie's first hasty inclination was to refuse point-blank, but he had up to this point of his existence never known the time when he found reason to be ashamed of his name. It belonged to one of the best families in Scotland, and his ancestry datod back to the day8 of Bruce and Wallace. "That is a condition easily complied with, as I have never yet refused it to any man who felt enough interest in me to ask. It is Charlie Stuart4* The other bowed. "Good! I see we shall get on together amaxlngly well. There need be no trouble whatever, since we agree so charmingly," he said. "Ah! about what, now?" asked Charlie, once more keenly on his guard. , "H'm!

Then you must Jiive known my name. Why did. you ask for It?" with the light of suspicion and unbelief in his eyes. "To ascertain how far you would have confidence in me. I see you are incredulous; but, young mem, it is my especial business to know every stranger who comes to Antwerp, whether he be French, English, Russian, American or Turkish; also to discover as much with relation to his business here as is necessary to understand his status in society. AlthougU you have never met me before, I doubt not you would recognize my name. Permit me." A card was thrust into Charlle'a hand. Mechanically he glanced" at it. The result was peculiarly unpleasant It simply bore a name, but that name was as famous at St Petersburg and Paris as in Antwerp—Baron Demetrius Peterhoff. This wonderful man had been at the head of the famous Third Section in Russia; he had been the terror of Nihilists for years; an argus-eyed head of police; until, unfortunately, a cog slipped with fatal result, since tho Czar Alexander was murdered through-* the Instrumentality of a bomb, and from that hour Baron Peterhoff's usefulness in Russia was at an end. "Ah!" Charlie said, very calmly; "I have heard of you very often, baron; but, really, I confess the proBpect of meeting so renowned a character never entered my mind. To what am I indebted for the honor?" Again the distinguished gentleman uttered the word that had startled Charlie before. "To the pretty frauleln." Charlie frowned. "See here, baron—I know this lady as Mile. Arline Brand. Surely there must be a mistake." "She has golden hair?" "Yes." . "And eyes so blue"—holding up his hands In a dramatic manner that would have delighted Artemus—"that they shame the lovely skies of the Riviera." Charlie groaned an assent. A crushing weight seemed to press upon his brain and he felt as though tottering on the verge of a precipice. "As to the name," continued the baron, coolly* "what does it matter? Mile. Arline Brand is as good as another— indeed, when you come to examine it, there is something of the adventuress stripe about so delightful a cognomen, don't you think, young sir? To my knowledge that is only one of a score of different names the lady h&s adopted within the last few years." "Adventuress!" How like the shock of a rattlesnake's stroke the mention of that word fell upon Charlie's hearing. "Since you have been so kind as to give me warning, suppose you tell me who this wonderful lady of many names is?" he asked, coldly. "You must have heard of the Countess Isolde Brabant" It was a name he had often seen mentioned in London and continental papers, a name belonging to a beautiful Russian young woman, given over heart and soul to the cause of Nihilism, connected with high families in the Land of the White Czar, banished through royal decree, and now turned adventuress in Vienna, Paris and other capitals of Europe. He shuddered at the picture. "At least I am under favors to you, baron, for your kindness; and if I make a fool of myself it will not be for lack of warning." "Well, young sir, I owe my life to your father. Before Sebastopol, when a fierce engagement was in progress. I had been cut down and lay there helpless, when a squadron of British dragoons charged. They would have crushed me to atoms, but that a wounded Highlander captain, crawling over, shielded my body with his own, and, raising himself, waved his tartan in the air, at which the dragoons separated, sweeping past to the left and to the right That brave Highlander was your noble father. For years we corresponded; but in my eventful life the memory of the debt I owed him—more shame to me—became obscured by other Issues. Young sir, for his sake I have sought to save you from the snare of the fowler. Be warned In time." A cab, doubtless previously signaled, dashed up, the bu waved his hand to Charlie, and waa gone. He left a very puzzled and deeply worried young man in front of the Steen. Charlie seemed wrestling with the problem, and drawn first this way, then, that; hut Me natural obstinacy finally won out "Well," he muttered through hie teeth, *'I amid eight o'clock to-night; and, come weal or come woe, I shall keep the appointment" (To be continued.)

A speaker at a Nebraska institute said: The critical time with the brood sow is the first two weeks after she farrows. Many pigs are lost by overfeeding the mother with corn and giving chilling drinks; which produce indigestion and fever. Don't be in too much of a harry to get the porkers to market, and in your desire to see them start tor that point kill half the crop and stunt the balance by overfeeding tfte dam. Above all things, keep your sow bedded with clean, dry straw and give them all the sunlight possibledamp nests are fatal to young litters. Exercise is absolutely necessary for young pigs, especially it the sow suckles well; in this way preventing (frumps, which carries off the finest of tfce litter. We never saw a case of thumps where the sow and pigs had exercise enough. The better the sow the greater the danger of loss from thumps, and the more need of exercise- Taken in time, we consider there is leas danger from thumps than colds and scours; this trouble can easily be brought on by just one overfeeding of the sow or young pigs; gvard against this by not overfeeding the sow for the first ten dfcys after farrowing. plained how it was possible, with many engagements daily, exceptional instances of such abuses might occur without typifying the conduct of the army, which on the whole was humane and considerate toward the natives."

There arcTlwf few reports of injury to early deciduous fruits in California by frosts duving the season thus far, and no reports of serious damage. Nearly all varieties were somewhat late in blossoming, which is greatly in favor of good crops, and unless heavy frosts should occur within the next few weeks these fruits may be considered safe for an unusually heavy yield. Citrus fruits are in good condition. , Fruit prospects in West Virginia, -with the exception of peaches, which are reported to be killed in some counties, are excellent. Correspondents \n a few of the south- •ern counties of Missouri report that peaches have not been greatly injured and there will probably be a few in other sections. The early varieties are now in bloom in the extreme southern •counties. Apples promise a good crop, but it is believed that in most sections small fruits will be light, owing to the drouth last season. Citrus trees in Florida have passed through the winter in good condition. A good bloom is in evidence, and the outlook is promising. Pineapples are very satisfactory. Hating YMnff nuts. The time for the mating of young gilts depends upon their individuality. If they are inclined to become leggy they should be mated so as to farrow their first litter by the time they are one year old. On the other hand, if they are undersized they should not farrow until they are at least fourteen months of age. In order to secure a successful farrow the brood sow should receive considerable attention /rnxn now nn, am\ arhufhAy ahe w i l l ba successful or not depends upon the feed, care and attention given her. It ahe has received a liberal feed of shorts and bran, with a feed of roots occasionally, and has had access to salt and ashes at all times, and received plenty of exercise, there is no •reason why she should not produce a .strong, vigorous litter of pigs.—0.

It Kaa not Men ^eneratly-HhotttWthat centrifugal separation bad any particular Waring on the bacterial content of milk. Recently, however, Prof. C. H. Eckels of the Iowa Agricultural college has demonstrated that separation does really remove a very large percentage of such bacteria. The germ contents of eight lots of milk were determined, and the lots then run through the separator. The result was that of all the germs In the milk at first, 47 per cent appeared tn the separator slime. The Bklm-milk contained 29 per cent only of the germs in the original whole milk. That left only 24 per cent in the cream. It will i:hus be seen that the cream is much richer in bacterial life than is the whole milk or even the skim-milk. Though the sklm-milk contained 29 per cent of the bacteria in the whole aiilk, it must be remembered that the cream is much less in bulk than the ^kim-milk. Relatively the cream by .centrifugal separation has jibout 20 times as many bacteria as doesTTfie same bulk of sklm-milk. Frotela Consumption. The scientists are gradually getting clown to the foundation of the problem of protein consumption. At St Anthony's Park a number of testa have been made to determine the amount of protein necessary to keep a milch cow in good condition, One experiment was carried on for 84 days, and in it wheat was compared with barley and corn. The twelve cows used weighed on an average 954 pounds. The average amount of food eaten was 24.30 pounds. This food contained 2.01 pounds of protein, 12.03 pounds of carbohydrates and 0.5S pounds of fat These cows were all giving milk at the time, and it was found that 1.35 pounds of this protein was used in the making of milk. It was therefore calculated that 0.66 pounds was used for maintenance of body. The milk produced amounted to 26.96 pounds daily, containing 4.1 of butter fat It will, therefore, be seen that about one-twentieth of a pound of protein was consumed for every pound of milk produced. Acid In KU»K<>. A bulletin of the Oregon station discusses silos and silage. A number of analyses of silage made for the purpose of determining its acidity are given in tables. It was found that the liquid constituents of immature clover containing 79.44 per cent of rnolstun; were loet, to a certain extent by oozing out at the bottom of the silo. A chemical analysis of this exudate showed a protein content of 1.13 per cent. In one experiment water was added to clover silage approximately at the rate of one gallon per 100 pounds of material, to determine its influence on the acidity and the protein content The loss of dry matter and the degree of acidity were greatest in the moistened silage. It is considered that acidity and loss of dry matter, which occurs in carbohydrates and allied substances go hand in hand. Immaturity of the plants and extreme compactnesa of the silage favor the development of organic acids. A r o e a U a r Ca«e. A peculiar thing happened a few days ago not far from Manaia. A lady, while engaged milking her cows, took a long hat pin from her hat and sticking it through a handkerchief placed the two upon a post. Shortly afterward a valuable cow happened ;o see the handkerchief which she forthwith devoured, swallowing the long pin at the same time. Next day the animal swelled up very considerably and appeared to be in pain, so trie butcher was sent for to despatch her. Fortunately the man could not go then and next day the cow had completely recovered and was back to her normal milking point, so that the owner of the cow was by pure good fortune prevented from losing a few pounds. How the cow succeeded in getting rid of the huge pin is a mystery—but she did,—Witness (New Zealand). Kama E*p*rt jConctn*Ion». Prof. T. L.

F. L. ANDREW31& CO. PRbPRirroftS. THURSDAY, MAY 8, 1902. UNITED STATES GEOLOGICAL SURVEY. C H A R L E S D. W A L C O T T , Director. The Portland Cement Industry iu Michigan. The history of the Portland ce -ment industry in Michigan b e g i r d limestone, says Prof. Israel C. Bussoll, of Ann Arbor, in P a r t I I I . of t h e X X I I . Annual Report of the United States Geological Survey now in press, with the year 1872, when the Eagle Portland Cement Co. built a cement plant about two miles northeast of Kalamazoo. The factory was contiuued in ope r a t i o n u n t U aboai—1882, but aotraces of the kilns are now in exa fine powder. T h e cement as it comes from the g r i n d i n g machines, is of such fineness t h a t from 90 per cent to 98 per cent of it should pass t h r o u g h a sieve having 100 meshes to the inch. I t is then ready for use, but usually improves with age. T h e raw materials which enter into t h e composition of Portland cement thus far used in Michigan are limestone, marl, shale, clay gypsum and fuel. Ono of the limestones used is t h e D u n d e e extending ""inPn."""belt" from about 2 to 9 miles wide northeast and southwest across Wayne, Monroe and Leuawee counties in the souheasteru corner of the State. The stone is found also at the extreme northern end of the southern peninsula. T h e beat D u n d e e limestone t h u s far discovered is exteusively quarried at Sibloy and Bellevue, istence. Some three miles of sidewalk were put down in Kalama zoo with this cement, and after 15 j ment or 20 years of use are still in ex- i group near Trenton, in W a y n e county, and is used by the Michigan Alkali Co. for making P o r t l a n d ceat Wyandotte. Another of limestone rocks, the celleut condition. The next fac- Traverse group, crosses Wayne tory for making Portland Cement j and Monroe counties in a belt was erected by the Peerless Port- ! about 8 miles wide, a n d crosses land Cement Co., in 1896-7, at i also the n o r t h e r n e n d of the Union City, aud was followed by ! southern peninsula from Alpena, the erection of the factories of the I on the border of lake Michigan. Bronson Portland Cement Co. at Bronson, in 1897, and of t h e Michigan Portland Cement Co. at Coldwater, in 1898. Portland cement is an artificially prepared substance which has the property of hardening in the air or water when mixed with a suitable proportion of water, and of remaining hard when immersed in water. In its manufacture, a mechanical mixture of finely pulverized limestone or marl and clay or ground shale is calcined, or burned, as the common expression- is, and the resulting clinkeris ground to a fine powder. This is the Portland cement of commerce. I n addition to tlin raw materials, which enter duvctly into the composition of P o r t l a n d cement, fuel is necessary for burning them. F o r this purpose, in upright kilns crushed coke is generally used; and in the rotating kilns a jet of gas, of petroleum, or of finely pulverized coal is forced in by means of an air blast. T h e type of the kiln now almost universally used in America consists of a steel cylinder about 60 feet long and G or 7 feet .in diameter, lined with refractory material. These furnaces are rotated rapidly in a nearly horizontal position. The cemeut is manufactured bv what are known respectively as the "wet" and the " d r y " processes. I n the wet process the finely ground limestone and clay are mixed with about 60 per cent of water, and this "slurry" is caused to flow into the higher e n d of the rotary kiln in a small stream. I n the dry process the slurry is only sufficiently moistened to prevent it from being blown away as dust. As the slurry travels down the cylinder, it is raised to a w h i t e heat; and the resulting clinker runs*from the rotary in a continuous stream of white-hot pellets, which, after cooling are ground to ]><mt start wrong. Don't btart the summer with a lingering cough or cold. We all know r_rv that a "summer cold" is. It's the hardest kini to cure. Often it "hangs on" through the entire season. Take it in hand right now. A tew doses of One Minute Cough Cure will set yon right. Sure cure for eoughs, colds, croup, grip, bronchitis, all throat and lung troubles. Absolutely safe. Acts at once. Children like it. "One Minute Cough Cure is the bf*t cough medicine I ever ^nsed," says J. H. Bowles, Groveton, N. H, "I never found any thing else tbat acted so safely and quickly." /At W. B. Darrow's. T h i s limestone is utilized at Alpenr by the Alpena P o r t l a n d cement Co. Another limestone g r o u p , t h e Monroe formation, is exteusively quarried in the southeastern p a r t of the State, b u t its adaptability for the manufacture of P o r t l a n d cement is doubtful as j y^t. The limestone of t h e Mich- I igan series outcrops at Bayport j and Sebewmg in H u r o n county, on the east side of Saginaw Bsy I on the Charity Islands, at Belle-! yne in Eaton county, and near the , P o r t a g e river, 5 or 6 miles north . of Jachson. ' The marl beds of Michigan occur in abundance throughout the southern peninsula, and are known to be present also to the north of the Strait of Mackinac. These marl beds vary in extending from a few acres up to h u n d r e d s of acres, and, in many instances, for an average depth of 20 feet or more. The shale used by t h e Alpena Co. is quarried about 7 miles north of Alpena and near the shore of lake Huron. T h e cold water shales are now q u a r r i e d at a locality about 1¼ miles east of Union City, and are utilized by the' Peerless Co. T h e xVntrim shales are exposed on t h e shore of T h u n d e r Bay and also at -several localities in Charlevoix county, though they have not, as yet, been used in making cement. The Saginaw shales are found in several mines near Saginaw and Bay City, and at F l u s h i n g . T h e lake clays of Michigau, suitable for cement making, are distributed about the border of the southern peninsula, for example, between Detroit and Ypsilanti, about P o r t H u r o n , South Haven, W h i t e h a l l , over the Saginaw Valley, and also in numerous local basins throughout the state; but it should be noted that iu general t h e surface clays of the southern peninsula are not well adapted for makin g Dangerous if neglected. Burns, cuts and other wounds often cement although some of t h e stony clays, if crushed sufficiently fine, may be used for that p u r - pose. I t is commonly found desirable to add a small per cent of gypsum to cement clinker before grinding. Michigan possesses extensive deposits of gypsum, particularly at G r a r d Rapids; and it is from that place t h a t most of the factories in this state deiive their suply of gypsum. The fuel used for heating the rotary kilns is usually bituminous coal; ivhich has" ~bwn— thoroughly dried and ground to a fine dust This dust is driven into the lower end of the kiln by means of an air blast, and on ignition produces a jet of flame some 15 feet long. Both crude petroleum aud pulverized peat have been used, but coal dust is regarded as the best fuel. The Portland cement industry has had a favorable—development in Michigan in the last few years. The Bronson and Peerless cement companies began operations in 1897, and by May 1901 10 factories wer producing cemeut and 6 others were in process of construe tion. The capacity of the 10 plants now built is about 2,400,- 000 barrels of cement per annum. The capital stock of all the Michigan cement companies is a b o u t 825,000,000, and their estimated capacity is, approximately, 8,000,- 000 barrells of cement per year. T h e total consumption of P o r t - land cement in the United States during the year 1900 was between 10,000,000 and 11,000,000. barrels, and the amount manufactured was nearly 8,500,000 barrells. I t would seem, then, that Michigan is preparing to supply a demand which does not appear to exist as yet, and as there is a similar activity in this same direction iu several other states, it would a p - pear to be evident that the Portland cemen-t i n d u s t r y is ill a spe culative stage.

Mr. Carnegie says he is "not a philanthropist" He doesn't want to die disgraced—that is all." Dr. English, the author of "Ben Bolt*" contributed more to the success of "Trilby" than Du Maurier did. Suppose indigestion does cause lying in mild forms—some cooks are lucky that it does not cause murder. A horse twenty hands high is the latest Kansas production. It will make a good mount for Minerva Nation. Just to sort of wind up the "r' * season, word comes from Baltimore that a man in that city choked to death on an oyster. •'God bless my people, black and white," were the last words of Wade Hampton. There is a text which needs no sermon. Ben Butler's monument will have to wait until a generous public can decide whether to locate it at Boston or New Orleans. German professors say American meat is all right; but then the professors are not interested in any German hog farms. Kipling's reference to Cecil Rhodes a s a "devout" man seems to be stretching the de mortuis maxim to the breaking point Now that chorus girls are beginning to write books, perhaps the baldbeaded men will have a chance to figure as novel heroes. Those fellows in Belgium who have three votes each think it is preposterous that those with but one each should want a change. A German newspaper has been calling J. Pierpont Morgan "an unscrupulous adventurer." Yet we have not declared war on Germany! Gen. Chaffee reports a brief engagement with the Moros at Parang Parang. This cannot be very far from the province of Ping-Pong., Mr. Carnegie says "poverty is a ricn heritage." Mr. Carnegie gets off these little things with the comfortable air of a man who has dined well. Since the Nebraska Indians have formed a relic trust persons who desire to purchase ancestral scalps may expect to pay hair-raising prices. There are people Inquisitive enough to want to know how many times in seventeen years, anyhow, the seventeen year locusts may be expected. Five hundred girls from New York stormed the White House and shook hands with the president. No, it will never do to elect Hobson to that office. Morally speaking, limburger cheese has one great advantage over oleomargarine. Nobody can accuse It of trying to pass itself off for something else. Mme. Calve says she will never return to make any farewell tours of America. She must have her money burled where moths eannot eat nor rust corrupt i t The price of strawberries has dropped to a point where church festival committees will be justified in putting at least half a dozen on a fifty-cent plate of iee cream.

The Alnrc»nn<' Bunk. The hearing in the Algonac Banking Co.'* receivership, bet ore Referee in Bankruptcy Davock, was held ami a uuiuber of witnesses examined. Attorney Frank T. Wolcott, for Receiver Lewis T. Bennett, was seeking to elicit information from the witnesses which would tend to discover more property that should he properly added to the assets of the failed institution. The j two principal items of that kind arc the proceeds of the mortgage executed ' by Financier McKenzie just, before his departure on the Kean farm, upon which a loan of JjL'l.riOO w a s obtained through Attorney Hutma, of Sarnla. and the *lt»,O0O worth of collateral in possession of the .Moore Bros.' hank at Marine City, u« security for~a-$u.noo - loan. In the mortgage case Attorney George G. .Moore assorts that it wns executed to save .something for the Kean family out of the wreck, and as it is held by the alleged Innnoeent purchasers, and the money secured thereon has been turned over to Mrs. Kean, its whereabouts will have to l>e discovered before it can be confiscated. In the matter of the bank's collateral, so much thereof as can be shown to have l>een received by the bank within the four months prior to the failure, can be recovered back to the receiver under the haukruptcy laws, but upon this question the testimony adduced was very hazy. Charles Doyle, manager of the Marine City Bank, was somewhat uncertain in his evidence, and it WHS not clearly established how much of the collateral would become subject to the bankruptcy laws. Cashier McKenzie was present at the hearing. There was quite a strong array of legal talent present to help unravel the% snarl. The examination was adjourned until next .Friday. Railroad E a r n i n g s . Another big increase in the earnings of Michigan railroads in shown by the statement for March, issued by Railroad Commissioner Osborn to-day.

Logon attacked City Warm Senate Debate. The senate warmly discussed the Phillipine question Saturday, the majority inembors taking an iunning. Up to this time the minority practically has laid a clear field in the debate, the policy of the majority being to permit the criticism of the Democratic members of the body to proceed without interruption.

Gardener here and allow him to make his accusations in a committee room of the senate, when the officers against whom he makew them are thousands of miles a w a y in the Philippines."

Gardener was never very popular in the army, and now that he has brought himself into prominence by the report he wrote, all sorts of stories are bolns told regarding his army record, which is seemingly being looked up for future use. It is claimed that Gardener has no brockets to his credit as a fight er and that he has always had a faculty of avoiding the firing line.

And the Professor, Too. laps It was a rash resolve—possibly 6harlie Stuart should have accepted the baron's well-meant warning for its full value, aud have left Antwerp by the first train. But it was only theT \voT^"df7th~e"ba.rou against his own powers of perspicacity, and Charlie did not see why he- should yield so easily. . In other words, he was «at ready to believe in the story the %*sy;derful baron hud related, without more abundant proof. Perhaps he might even doubt it until the action of Arline Brand convinced him of her guilt, or her own sweet lips confessed it., That was Charlie's idea of friends h i p . With the disappearance of the baron from the r.ceae, Charlie supposed, the shew war. over for the morning. He was mistaken. While he stood th-ife on tlie curb, a prey to distracting thoughts, he ' wan being closely watched by a man who had been lounging jcit inside the entrance of the Steen courtyard. When Stuart started to move away, the gentleman appeared to lose the last vestige c-f control which he pca-^ SOS3€d. He ran after the retreating figure. The patter of footsteps just behind him natuarlly caused Charlie to half turn; perhaps he thought it might be the baron, with yet another choice bit of information with which to add to his stock of cheerfulness, or mayhap Artemus desirous of overtaking him. He was immediately undeceived. A florid-faced gentleman, who looked as though he might have been dallying with the wine too long, but with hot passion glowing in his eyes, was close upon him. Even as Charlie stepped back a pace, thinking the man was drunk, or in a great hurry to catch a train, to his intense surprise the stranger slapped into Charlie's face a pair of kid gloves he carried. Luckily. Stuart had a cool head for one of his race, or they would have had it out then and there in the respectable street of the Steen. He saw that the man had a grievance, though utterly in the dark as to what its nature might be, "See here! Who are you?" asked Charlie. "Aha! I am Herr Professor Richter of Dresden." Charlie shook his head. "Still I am groping in the dark. To my knowledge I never had the pleasure of meeting you, professor." The German scowled angrily. "Which is one good thing for you, sir; and now that you have met me, you shall give me the satisfaction of a gentleman. To-morrow morning it must be, with pistols—or do you prefer swords? Blood alone cau wipe out the base insult." ''Suppose you tell me, Herr Professor, how I have offended you. Surely. it could not-be a matter serious enough to call for a duel." "How?" roared the German, dancing up and down, his eyes glaring, his hands working as though, eager to clutch the other's throat. "After destroying my honor, you profess ignorance, scoundrel! Then I will tell you. even though every gossip in Antwerp learn of my shame. By running away with my wife!" "What?" Charlie was so staggered by the accusation that he could hardly catch his breath. He had passed through some strange experiences during his life, hot this was really the first time he had ever been accused of such an escapade. "But, Herr Professor, 1 swear to you I never set eyes upon the lady in question." "You lie, rascal! Did I not with my own eyes see you put her in the carriage, and stand there watching her drive away! You are guilty!" Poor Charlie felt as limp as a dishrag. This connection with Artemus and his irrepressible dramatic fever was bringing about the most agonizing esults. thought! There is another infernal mistake about it. This queer old town is all upset, it seems." Then he suddenly remembered the card she had given him, with her address; as he had not thought t o look at it, so he hastily drove into his pocket and drew out the case in which-hi* had placed it fresh from her hand, only to receive a sad shock as he read: "MADAM SOPHIE RiCHTEIt, "Hotel de la Praix, Antwerp. Dresden." Weil, there it was. In black and white he saw the miserable evidence be-fore his eyes. Still he was grimly determined to keep his engagement for that evening, come what might. Oh! sublime faith! It would repesittve "Well, a l i i say is, I must have done it in my sleep. But I gave yon my word, and if 1^ cannot prove my innocence, I will give you the satisfaction you demand." "To-morrow, a t sunrise?" eagerly. "As you say. There is my card, pro* feasor. Leave the particulars at my hotel." Stuart stood looking after the learned disciple. "She the wife of that bow-legged, heavy-brained scholar? Perish t h e • * quire mountains to crusli~a belief in the conviction of his own eye3 and his own intuition. Dinner came next. He could amuse himself with a thousand* and one theories bearing upon the case. Charlie was enjoying his dinner 'with a fair amount of satisfaction, considering what a load he carried upon his mind, when Artemus, who had been given his address, made his appearance. Stuart immediately decided to make a full disclosure. An opportunity came in good time whereby they could converse without heing overheard. Thon Charlie let loose. He fairly staggered his companion with his first volley, containing the account of the famous baron and his charge that Arline Brand was the most dangerous as well as notorious adventurer in all Europe. While Artemus was yet gasping from the effect of this hot shot, Charlie poured in grape and cannister. He sketched the dramatic advent of th^ professor on the scene, the challenge to a. duel he had flung at the supposed disturber of his family peace, Charlie'^ amazed questions concerning yellow hair and blue eyes, and finally the solemn agreement that had been reached between them. Charlie, having exhausted his repertoire, now turned the tables. "What became of you, my dear boy?" he asked. "I waved you farewell," Artemus said. "Then you Were not in the second coach?" "Ay, ay. You see. the fair ladv neglected to favor me with one of her cards, and I was compelled to adopt measures of my own in order to discover her residence. She went to the hotel in the Rue de Mennisters." "That's the De la Paix." with a frown, remembering the card he held. "Yes. my boy, the same. I was satisfied that I had found out juct where she put up but curiosity induced me to waylay the doorkeeper, he who opened the carriages and exercised the functions of factotum. So, putting a bit of silvet in his hand, I as'ived him who the lady might be—she with the veil over her face. He scratched his head as though a bit puxzled himself, and then suddenly answered, as though at random: " 'Mile. Brand.' " Charlie had been listening eagerly. He gave vent to au exclamation of satisfaction. "Artemus, ycu are a brick!" "So." continued the other, with a grim smile, as though he could scent something that had not yet become visible to the naked eye, "I came to the conclusion the young lady had given us her true name, after all, though she hinted at possessing another." "Yes; why did she say that?" mused Charlie. "But one thing seems c l e a r - there is an Arline Brand, after all: and to-night I am bound to discover what relation, if any, connects her with this bold, intriguing countess, or the runaway wife of the Herr Professor— either that, or to-morrow 1 am bookvl for a duel." . Charlie Stuart saw the shades of night close in upon the old city of Antwerp with a sigh of deep satisfaction. ~~ReucU!iig the hotel he boldly asked to see Madam Sophie Richter. Some time elapsed while he waited. He was on needles and pins—hung up, as it were, on tenter-hooks by suspense. "The lady awaits melnherr In the little parlor over yonder," at last canij the message. Charlie drew in a long breath and entered. • He felt a sensation of tremendous relief. For the lady, while pleasant and even handsome in her appearance, was a stranger. - He bowed courteously to the lady. "I am a stranger to you, lady—an Englishman, Stuart by name. Thrqugh some misadventure I have' become, much against my will, I assure you, mixed up in your domestic arrangements, and I have come here to throw myself upon your mercy and beg your gentle Indulgence a s an intercessor." The lady looked astonished. "Sir, explain. Who seeks to do you harm, and of whom am I to beg indulgence?" she asked. "Madaia, there is a t large in Antwerp a man who has sworn to have the life of the wretch who has robbed his quiet home of its one bright jewd —who prowls hither and yon, regardless of his personal appearance, breathing vengeance, and ready to sacrifice all he has on earth if he can but avenge his honor." ~^-"You really mean that the professor is here in Antwerp?" "Raging around like a mad bull." "That at last ho has left his musty old books?" "Very much in evidence, I assure you." "Then our stralegem worked," she laughed. "Pardon my ignorance, madam, but I am inclined to think it worked only too well, since I, an entirely innocent man, am booked to meet the professor^ in a duel to-morrow a t sunrise, becaus^^forsobtfiT lie chanced t o see me place a lady in a cab—a lady who had golden locks, and whom the old— I mean the jealous professor—chose to fancy was the wife of his bosom." The lady laughed aloud. "In a duel! He fight for me! Ob, charming! It is too good!' What will Cousin Hildegarde say?" "I'm sure I don't know; but I'm anxious to convince this old fire-eater that he has gotten hold of the wrong man, and I am certain you will assist me to prove my innocence." "Oh, sir, most certainly; especially as there is no man in the matter at all, and t!?e object of our little escapade h a s ' been accomplished. Since you have been put to more or less inconvenience in the premises, it would be only fair for me to explain." The story was nothing new, though its sequel gave evidence of considerable originality, thanks to the appearance of the bright-witted Hildegarde on the scene. Madam and the professor had not been the happiest couple in the world. He was wedded to his books, and neglected his pretty wife. Long ha-.l she suffered, and doubtless wouU have continued to do so, only that his cousin took'the bull by the horns and suggested a strategem whereby the student should be aroused and made to realize how dear to his heart this wife of his really might be. It was the old principle over again —of not missing the water until the well ran dry. And one day, whea the learned man found his blue-eyed spouse gone, and a few lines simply signed H. begging her by her love to meet the writer in Antwerp, which note she had apparently dropped in the haste of her departure, the professor threw his books to the winds and started in pursuit. "To think—he would even fight, and for me!" she said, almost incredulously. "Indeed, he is distracted enough to defy Fate itself. But, madam, you may do me a favor," boldly. "You have but to name it. sir." "This lady whom I had the pleasure of serving—this lady whom your furious husband saw me put into a carriage—gave me a card and invited me to call upon her here a t the hotel to-night." "Ah! yes," with a bright smile. "She gave me a card. I did not look a t it just then, but after the ridiculous encounter with your husband, in which he accused me of stealing his i wife, and threatened me with death nu ! the field of honor, I took occasion to investigate, and found—this." He handed the card to her. One glance, and the professor's wife laughed. "Yes. it is my carte-de-visite; but. ou my honor, Meinherr Stuart. I did not give it to you." "That I know very well. What I wish to discover is, who did? There :s a young lady, also with such golden hair and blue eyes "as you yourseli possess; she is stopping at this hotel. Now. you must have at some time exchanged cards with her. Can yon not remember the circumstance?" The professor's wife nodded eagerly.

This is not a gentle word—but when you think how liable you ara not to purchase for 75c the only remedy universally known and a remedy that has had the largest sate of any medicine in the world since 1868 for the cure and treatment of Consumption and Throat and Lung troubles without losing its great popularity all these years, you will be thankfull we called your attention to Uoschee's German Syrup. There are so many ordinary cough remedies made by druggists and others that are cheap and good for light colds perhaps, but for severe Coughs, Bronchitis, Croup —and especially for Consumption, where is difficult expectoration and coughing during tbe niffhts and morning?, there is nothing like German Syrup.

HER CHILDREN. An Appreciation. Rear Admiral Evens in the May issue of McCluro's Magazine says: "For comfort and luxury, the special train on which he traveled made a lasting impression upon the Prince and his suite. Prince Henry said: "I have seen t i e '.>mt equipement on Russian Railroads and they are the best in jEurope; but I have never seen or imagined that a train like this could be put together." Coming from such and authorativ.e source this is indeed a compliment especially so as two of the cars, the Iowa and Ohio, belong to the regular equipment of tbe Chicago Great Western Ry. These beautiful compartment cars run every nierht between Chicago, St. Paul and Minneapolis on the "Great Western Limited" the new sumptuous Electric Lighted train. t-19 * What thin folks need Is a greater power of digesting and assimilating food.

"And yet I can hardly refuse, tor, Heaven knows, I am in great trouble, and need a friend, if ever a young woman did.1* "Compose yourself, I beg; and begin, please." Charlie believed he was about to hear some news of more than ordinary importance. In imagination he could picture the remarkable young widow who created such a furore all over Europe. She might resemble Arline in many ways, but surely such a charmer of men could not possibly assume the air of innocence which thh> young woman carried with her. At the same time he felt impelled to relate the adventure he had experienced with the professor, and even mention that he had been solemnly warned by the baron. When she heard that Peterhoff believed her to be the celebrated adventuress; she hung her head. Charlie was overcome with confusion. "I have distressed you; and yet I beg you to believe I meant it all kindly. It was a silly ^hing for Peterhoff to do, but even the shrewdest of men of his stamp make absurd blunders sometimes. His last famous one cost Russia her Czar. Remember, I never for once took any stock in his ridiculous 4dea. It was all a mistake." Then the maid looked up. Her eyes were sparkling with real tears, but Charlie's haste to assure her of his positive belief in her innocence of the charge had brought a smile to her face. "It is dreadful, even to be taken for such a notorious woman, don't you think? But perhaps I should look at it reasonably, and believe the baron has made an excusable blunder. Really, some of the garcons here in the hotel have addressed me as countess, ana I have been puzzled to account for it until now, so we must look alike— I a demure little English lassie, and she a clever, designing Russian diplomat" Charlie nodded, eagerly. What she said seemed so very reasonable, and she took it mueh better than he expected. But he could easily discover that Arline was not wholly at her ease. Frequently she cast quick glances in the direction of the door. This fact had come to his attention some time back; but Charlie did not find the least reason to suspect that the baron had aught to do with i t She seemed to hesitate, perhaps hardly knowing just how to begin her story. "Allow me to remark. In the beginning," said Charlie, "that while I am ready and anxious to serve yon, and stand ready to do all that may become a man—if there is any reason why you should wish to keep these things secret, I will try to help you, even while groping in complete ignorance.** "Oh, no," she answered quickly; "it is not that You are entitled to the fullest confidence. I was only endeavoring to collect my thoughts so that I might know just how to begin. And, besides, I have a natural feeling of shame, because the person who has, I sadly fear, been plotting in secret against me, is one who should be my best friend upon earth-—my rather?" Young though she was, this beautiful girl had known what It was to sup with poverty, to be left alone and friendless in the world and to meet with the most unexpected and glorious fortune. Her story, even when briefly told, was a series of dramatic surprises, such as are well fitted for the stage, yet dence threw the forlorn young girl under the high-stepping carriage horses Of the dowager Lady Wallia, and sbe later on discovered that this lovelycreature was her own flesh and blood, a sudden love for the girl sprang up In her withered old heart which resulted in her adopting this niece as her sole heiress. Two years later Arline was bereft o{ her eccentric, but kind relative, and . found herself once more alone in the world, this time possessed of a most bountiful fortune. — Then It was, with the abruptness of a cannon shot, Captain Brand ap- 1 peared upon the scene. He bad a thrilling story to tell of his vessel's foundering in a gale off the African coast, his narrow escape from drowning, of being cast ashore, found by wandering Arabs, taken into captivity, sold some years later to a tribe of the Great Sahara, so that he finally drifted to Dahomey where, through the assistance of the faithful woman he had been forced-to marry, he eventually made a bold and successful escape, though his companion gave up her life in throwing herself in front of a spear that was meant for him. Arline accepted it all as gospel truth, and would have at the time believed even a much more miraculous series of adventures could such have been by any means invented by this modern Munchausen. This was before she knew Captain Brand so well. She spent money with a liberal band. He was enabled to indulge his love for fine clothes to its full bent He smoked the finest cigars, drank the most expensive liquors, and she feared he frequently Indulged in gaming. Thus a year went by. Captain Brand had ceased to beg for rroney. He demanded it as his right, and in sums so large that Arline was growing alarmed. He had tried to influence her to make her will leaving all her wealth to him; something might happen to her, though Heaven forbid, and she would not like to think of the great property going to strangers while her poor papa was left unprovided for. Arline refused to do as he requested, something within warning her against it. She barely mentioned her' earlter years, save to tell bow her father, a sea captain,, bad been lost as it waa "What other reason conW hritaene* believed, at sea; and with her mother you?" she asked, <a ilttle eagerty. she had fought the grim wolf in Lon- "The natnral des*r#< to meet TOT don, sewing, as such people of refine* again.

Even then she had not realized what this might portend. How should an innocent trusting young girl desirous of bestowing all reasonable benefits upon the man she had come to believe was her father—how should she suspect that thte ungrateful man could conspire with unprincipled confederates to actually take her life, yet by such means as would make it seem a cruel accident? While iu Antwerp he had professed a keen desire to visit the dungeons of the Steen, and yet always made it appear as though she were the one most interested in the abode of ghostly .memories. An expedition was accordingly planned. Arline never could tell just how it came about She remembered Captain Brand's enthusiasm in leading her deeper into the recesses, and how he suddenly disappeared while she was examining some object of interest; how she waited for him to reappear, until, growing alarmed by the diminishing size of her candle, she had endeavored to find-her way back to the ^arty; how she tripped and fell, losing her light Then she cried out in terror as the awfnl darkness closed around her, but no answer came. Then she realised that the others had gone; that this cruel-hearted man she called father, had deserted her, pretending to believe, ad doubt that she had gone above with a portion of the party upon whom the horrors of the dungeon soon palled. He could also take ft for granted she had gone away with her new-found •Herds, and not show any alarm for hours. It was a cleverly concocted and diabolical scheme, which had for its ultimate outcome the dethronement of her reason. Doubtless Captain Brand had arranged it so that in such a case he would bo appointed the natural pro, tector and guardian of his afflicted child, and thus, of course, have the handling of her fortune. Charlie was aghast He. had never heard so terrible a thing In all hit life. He almost doubted hia ' "r have made «p my mimr regarding one tblng.

A newly married couple were on their way from Autwerp to Paris when one of their fellow passengers cut his throat with n razor in the railway carriage in which they were traveling. Another shock awaited them in Paris. A visitor in the hotel in which they were staying was killed in the lift In their presence. On Sunday they called on a friend living in Paris who had invited them to lunch at his house. When-extending the invitation the friend observed, laughing, "You will not find any corpses with me." But when they arrived at the house their host greeted them with a request to have the lunch put off, as bis servant had died that morning in a bathtub from heart disease. This was too much for the bride, who fainted and then went Into hysterics. The couple subsequently took the first train back to Antwerp.—London Globe. The Byes of a Bee. Every bee has two kinds of eyes— the two larii'e compound ones, looking like hemispheres' on either side, and the throe simple ones which crown the top of his hoacl. Each compound eye is composed of 3,500 facets—that Is to say, an object is reflected 3,500 times on its surface. Every one of these facets is the base of an inverted hexagonal pyramid, whose apex is fitted to the head. Each pyramid may be termed an eye, for each has its own iris and optic nerve. How these insects manage this marvelous number of eyes is not yet known. They are immovable, but mobility is unnecessary because of the ran^e of vision afforded by the position and the number of facets. They have no lids, but are protected from dust and injury by rows of hairs growing %\ong the lines at the junctions of the facets. The simple eyes are supposed to have been given the bee to enable it to see above its head when intent upon gathering honey from the cups of flowers. Probably this may be one reason, but it 1s likely there are other uses for them not yet ascertained.— Pearson's Weekly. F a n t a s t i c B o t t l e s .

Phylacteries, the Greek word for amulets, were worn by the Israelites, to which allusion is made in the Scriptures. These phylacteries were narrow strips of parchment on which were written passages from the Old Testament. A strip was placed in a small leather box and bound to the left elbow by a narrow strap. There was a smaller phylactery for the forehead, the box for which was about an inch square. The word amulet is of Arabic origin and implies a thing suspended. Amulets were of various kinds.

There have been many literary tea topers, but William Hatittt, the write! and critic, probaWy' surpassed every ^•hor mithpr in the singularity and strength of bis potations. Rising usually at I or 2 o'clock in the day, he would sit over his breakfast of exceedingly strong blade tea and a toast ed French roll—if he had no work on hand—for hours, silent, motionless and self absorbed as a Turk. It was the only stimulant or luxury he ever took, and he was very fas tidlous about its quality, using always the most expensive kind and consum ing, when he lived alone, about a pound a week. l i e always made the tea himself, half filling the teapot with tea, pouring bolting water on it and then almost immediately pouring it out and mingling with it a great quantity of sugar and cream. Such a beverage must have been de Ucious. Indeed, Douglas Jerrold says, "there was fascination in it," but as a daily stimulant it must have been most deleterious, and as the essayist died after several severe attacks from a disease of the digestive organs it probably caused his death.—Beverages.

From Farmers' Reriew: I have la years past bred a number of differem kinds of poultry, and have selected th< White Plymouth Rocks as an exclusive, breed, front the fact that theii uniformity In size and color makei them as a flock present a handsomei appearance than can be obtained from any parti colored birds. As egg producers 1 consider they stand second to none. They are not strongly inclined to be broody, as is the case witfc the Asi&tlac breeds, yet make the best of mothers, from a utility standpoint being one pound heavier than th« Wyandottes. I consider them theli leaders. For the table their plumr |form and rich, yellow skin, free from dark pin-feathers, maks them a market fowl superior to all I consider 'them the grandest of all American j breeds, the general purpose fowl, th< fancier's favorite, the gems of the shoo goom,—E.

This is the great remedy for rota mildews and all fungous diseases and It is prepared as follows: Copper sulphate (blue stone), € pounds; fresh lime, 4 to 6 pounds; water, 50 gallons. Put the copper sulphate in a coarse sack and suspend it in some water till it is all dissolved and dilute to twentyfive gallons, b8e either a wooden or an earthen vessel. Then stake the lime and dilute to twenty-five gallons, and at the same time stir with a paddie. An important point is to use enough lime, as it prevents the burning of the foliage. To determine if enough lime has been used in preparing the mixture add a few drops of a solution of ferro-cyanide of potassium. If the ferro-cyanide of potassium does not change, no more lime Is needed, but if it changes to a dark reddish color, more lime muBt be added and the test repeated.—Fabian Garcia.

It is to be hoped that spraying will become more general each year, since it has been demonstrated time and again that it is very profitable work, and also that good fruit cannot be grown without it. Correspondents generally agree that it is too early to tell definitely about the fruit crop. —Fred M. Warner, Secretary of State, Michigan. Th« Hof« <;o H«n* to th« Farm. A report from Indiana says that oi the total number of men registered ..his year in the agricultural college of that state not more than IS per cent are willing or care to accept salaried positions. The remainder are prepar mg for work on their own farms. There is demand for men trained along agricultural lines, and it cannot now be supplied. Contrary to the general impression a very large proportion of the students in our agricultural colleges go back to the farms waen the> nave completed their courses, Th»* Ohio Agricultural College about a year ago undertook to find but how many of the agricultural students leaving the college went back to the farm. The proportion was found to be very large. A considerable number of agricultural students naturally drop into the work of teaching. For this opportunities are constantly opening, ihe young man that becomes thoroughly imbued with enthusiasm con cerning agriculture gravitates back to the farm, and it takes very high wages to hold him in any other position.

To assist nature, when nature needs assistance, it is all important that tho medicinal agents used should be of the be3t quality and of know^ value, and the one remedy which acts most beneficially and pleasantly, as a laxative, is—Syrup of Figs—manufactured by the California Fig Syrup Co. "With a proper understanding of the fact that many physical ills are of a transient char ttcter and yield promptly to the gentle action of Syrup of Figs, gladness and comfort come to the heart, aud if one would remove the torpor and strain and congestion attendant upon a eon* Btipated condition of the system, take Cyrup of Figs and enjoy freedom frcm the aches and pains, the colds and headaches and tic depression duo to inactivity of the bowels.

It is for sale by all reliable druggists. Price fifty cents per bottle. The excellence of Syrup of Figs comes from the beneficial effects of tho plants used in the combination and also from tiie method of manufacture which ensures that perfect purity and uniformity of product essential in a perfect family laxative. All the members of the family from the youngest to the most advanced in years may use it whenever a laxative is needed and share alike in it3 beneficial ejects.

That Is to say, its Inventor died in 1894 at the ago of eighty. There were horns before Adolphe 8a T, to hp sure, hnt I such horns as we have now, for they could not play every tune in every key. They could not even play a scale in any key. The very first band entirely of brass was organised in 1835, and 1 doubt Xt any of the instruments then used could be played upon by modern musicians without special practice. It Is only back to 1783 when a full regimental baud of the British army con* sisted of two oboes, two clarinets, two horns and two Bassoons. It must have sounded even funnier than Tennyson's famous combination of 'flute, violin and bassoou;x - — •* "How long a way we have come since 1783 may be learned from the ensemble of a first class modern band. The modern band of forty-two pieces has half as many oboes and bassoons as the ancient band ef eight pieces, seven times as many clarinets and nine times as many horns, to say nothing of the saxaphones, which are part clarinet and part horn."

"Ob, my boy will die, my lei" shtf subbed. "He will not take the stuff that would save him." But presently piped up a voice from the bed. "Don't cry, mother," It said. "Father'U be home soon, and hell make me take It." Odd Drinking Cups. When every man got drunk and was proud of it in olden days, much ingenuity was expended in the construction of queer and elaborate drinking vessels, and many such are yet to be "fouhd" in museums, especially in Qer« many. One preserved in a Berlin museum represents Diana mounted on a stag and surrounded by hounds and huntsmen. The cup consists of the hollow body of the silver stag, the head of which is removable. The piece stands fourteen inches high. It was.made at Augsburg in 1610. It is also an automobile propelled by clockwork concealed in the base. Trick cups which drenched the uninitiated were very popular.. Another variety contained wine and water in separate compartments. The drinker who did not know how to manage them filled his mouth with water, though the cup was apparently full of wine. The glass with the fighting hares, in the same museum, belonged to Friedrich Wilhclm I. The hares represent two of his ministers and boon companions.— New York Herald.

On one occasion the painter George Morlnnd. In, his eagerness to avoid bis duns, retired to an obscure hiding place in .Hackney, where bis anxious looks and secluded manner of life Induced some of his neighbors to believe him a forger of notes then in existence. Tbe directors, on being informed, dispatched some dexterous detectives to the residence, but Morland's suspicions were aroused by their movements in front of the house and, thinking them bailiffs, escaped from the back to London. Mrs. Mbrland Informed the visitors of her husband's name and showed them some unfinished pictures. The facts were reported to the directors, who presented Morland with two twenty pound notes by way of compensation for the alarm. Like a drowning man.

"Oh, yes^—three at flrst; but later on there was only one left" "And the name—do you remember "Yes. It was his mate, Ben Hazen.-' "Ah! that 1B a substantial point from which to work.

Arllne heard him with both wonder and delight. Her confidence bad apparently gone out to him in the start, and now she felt It growing he was so earnest, so positive that his logic seemed to have the faculty of convincing (others. "There is one thing 1 meant to ask; you gave me the wrong card by a singular accident, but at ffihe eame time intimated that yon were known by another name than Ariine Stand at the hotel." "Yea; I should have explained. When my aunt adopted nte I assumed her name of Wall is; amd as her .title was hereditary, and eomld descend to the next of kin after her demise, I ^became Lady Ariine WalHa. As such 1 have been sometimes known.0 Charlie cringed somehow, at this. It seemed to raise a wall between them—wealth and title. What few ordinary young Englishmen dare aspire to win a bride from behind such ramparts? Never before had Charlie Stuart) wished for fame and fortune as now; nothing could be too grand to lay at the feet of snch a royal princess. And while he was thus battling with ills thought*, she suddenly caught his arm. "He is out yonder! I heard his laugh t Now, come to the door, Mr. fltuart, And take your flrst look at Captain Brand of the Heepaeia. before you meet him face to face." Nothing loth Charlie followed her to the door, Iwhence they could look into the oflt* tit the hotel. Several men were in sight; but almost instinctively his gase settled flpom one who seemed to command genenat attention: and.no sooner had CharHa clapped nl* eyes on this re? markabSe ladfvfdnai than he ottered a little ejaculation of surprise and pleasure. '. ,. , . Possibly he had seen this same *> Quadous Captain Brand of she Hespatla nadir otbsr and more excJtffit cir: nimataneea of. creating a good impression on bis daughter's old friend, whom he wished to study at close range. When he set out to entertain, Captain Brand of the Hespasla was a howling success, relating the most astonishing incidents connected with his long captivity in the desert, his perils on the sea, and the deep fountain of love for wife and child that had sustained him through all his trials. Charlie was- no mean actor himself, thanks to the splendid control which he was able to exercise over his facial muscles/ Although he now had not the least doubt as to the fellow being a fraud of the flrst water, Charlie felt that he owed it to Arline's respect for filial affection to prove this fact. This was the task he cut out for himself. He laid his little trap. Captain Brand was so mnch engaged with his flow of oratory and the charming of this friend of the family that he did not notice the pit so deftly dug. ThuB, almost without an effort, Charlie had him admit that he knew considerable about Valparaiso, in Chill, and had been there, in the course of his wanderings, many years ago. In Charlie's mind this settled the matter. He was confident be knew with whom he had to deal, and when the time came he would be ready to dare all In defying the adventurer. While they sat thus, speaking of the sights of Antwerp, there came a messenger from the hotel office inquiring for Mr. Charlie Stuart, whom a gentleman outside desired to see. As he went, directed by the clerk, to the spot where he would find the gentleman who had asked for aa immediate interview on serious business, he was making up bis mind to tell Peterhoff the whole story and enlist his favorable consideration for Ariine, so that when the denoument came the doughty captain could be taken care of. Judge of his- surprise, then, when, Upon coming upon the party who Wished to see him, he found it was no other than Artemus Barnaby, with his honest face clouded with an air of the datfceat mystery. St did not require much prophetic skill on Charlie's part to tell that his erratic friend had news of some importance for him. He pressed a forefinger on his lips te Indicate dead silence, when he found tfcat Charlie had recognised him. Charlie stood there waiting while tne other crept on his tiptoes to the In the regular orthodox stage and looked this way and that to asenre himself that there could be no eavesdroppers near.

"Who was he when you knew him?" he asked, determined to get down to the facts now. "A fourth-rate actor, on his uppers half of the time. One of these howling barnstormers, a heavy villain of the piece, at home in 'Uncle Tom's Cabin' or 'Ten Nights in a Barroom.' He was the joke of the season on the Rlalto, in Gotham. I even thought seriously of utilizing him In my great play as the seedy actor who carrie3 the mysterious secret with him through five acts, but when he found there was a chance of him being immortalized, his price for sittings went away up. and I discovered something better than Hamfatter."

"I saw him—that Is, I am almost dead certain it is the same man; and I expect to prove it presently." "Where was this?" "In South America." "In Valparaiso?" "Come, what makes you ask that?" In surprise. "I remember him talking of being, concerned In a little war scare that occurred down there—he has always been the same boaster, you know." MWell, that seems to prove the identity. I never in all my life heard of so stupendous a rascal." "Say what was he doing down in Santiago, or was it Valparaiso?" "The latter, on the coast, the most enterprising city along the Pacific, south of San Francisco. What was he doing? Well, about the last I saw of him, he was dancing a Scottish hornpipe.** "Yea. he has his merry moments when the liquor la in."

Boise Hill ErupUon. AN MOMENT IN COLLEGE LIFE, By F. DeLYHN. T h e accounts of the many volcanoes and earth-quakes of the past two weeks brings to the mind of the writer an incident in t h e history of the little town of ——-r—several y e ^ m a g o d u r i n g a time when there was just such a stir among the volcanoes as at present, although not quite so disasterous to life and pioperty. The village mentioned was situated on a level stretch of ground ; casional explosion, enough to around t h e . main cavity. These were all connected by wire which led to the bottom of the hill where, when t h e time came, an electric battery could be taken and atJbhe pressing of the button all the dynamite would be exploded at once. Several small charges of dynimite were place*! among the old refuse so that as the fire reached it there would be an ooeven talked o| seeking a .place of safety. Of course it was out of the question for,anypnotp venture to the top BO?/. The smoke continued all the day and hefore night many from The Witness.

J. at the foot of a range of hills which were from fifty to one hundred feet above t h e level of the village and worthless only for p a s t u i e or t h e growth of a <ew scrab oaks which grew on the sides of the hills. One hill, bigger and more worthless thau the rest, stood a full half mile back keep people from getting too close to the top of the hill. I t required about a week to get all arrangements made and had cost the boys considerable money and hard work buj; t h e anticipated sensation- fully repaid them for their effort. When everything was in re&difrom the village b u t ft» 4>arrenypess-as-luck-^wou head could be seen from almost every street. This hill was called "Boise Hill" owing to the o w n e r ^ name being Boise, and the sum mit of the hill was seldom visited as it was entirely worthless and very difficult to climb. A small river ran through the village and furnished power for several small factories. The population of the place was between 2,500 and 3,000 including the students in the seminary of which the village boasted. The school at the time I am writing of, was very popular, especially among a class of well to do young men who were glad to avail themselves of the opportunity to get away from home and enjoy school life among strangers. Like most college and seminary students they were u p to their pranks occasionally, but usually confined their tricks to changing signs, putting wagons on top of buildings and things that caused annoyance rather than damage. When papers began to chronicle, the awakening of different volcanoes and shocks of earthquakes in different parts of the country, some of the more venturesome of the students proposed that they get up a sensation for the village and cause "Old Boise" as the big hill was called for short, to smoke and shake. The boys accepted the suggestion with a zest and began at once to plan for a b i ^ sensation. As everthing had to be done on the quiet they laid their plans in the day time and carried them out at night. Their first work was to go to the top of the hill, and for three nights they were busy diging holes four or five feet in diameter and eight or ten feet deep, placing the earth taken out on t h e aide from the town so it could not be seen. F r o m another town a few miles distant they engaged the services of a couple of friends of the boy8 to haul old waste, saw dust etc, which they carried u p after dark and filled the holes. The same men then drew in sever* Memorial Day. a } barrels of crude petroleum and For above occasion, Pere Marquette o t h e r x h e a p oils_Jwhich—the boya wind "was in the right quarter to blow the smoke into the town and _as this-Ja?as~ j u s t w h a t the boys desired they proceeded'to set fire to the oil-saturated waste through a cavity they had left for the purpose. The fire was started d u r i n g the small h o u r s of the morning and when the villagers awoke there was s smell of sulphur aud a black cloud of smoke was seen to be coming from the top of "Old Boise" and as there was nothing that grew there that would burn all wondered what it could be. I t was but a few moments before everyone in the village was out watching the old hill and people began to think of and mention the articles in the papers about so many volcanoes being in operation. Some of the college studeuts volunteered to climb the hill and investigate but the citizens would not allow them to make the attempt. About that time a charge of powder aud dynamite exploded with a tariffic roar and a pile of sand, gravel and debris was thrown several feet into t h e air. This was followed in a few moments by another aud th e smoke and sulphur fumes became more and more dense and the peop! e began to be alarmed. Some surrounding town had hoard of the outbreak of "Old Boise" and, notwithstanding the evident danger, came miles to view the wonderful phenomena. The old hill kept up its part of the tragedy in good shape as the saturated mass continued to belch forth smoke, steSm and an occasional explostorn Coutlnuea on Next Pave. Holds up a Cougressmau.

The liquor men gave their consent and the bill passed the Senate by unanimous vote. The bill is known as Municipal Local Option. It gives the privilege to persons living in incorporated towns to have a vote on the question of saloons or no saloons when 40 per cent of the voters thereof shall sign a petition asking for such a vote.

It seemed as if the old hill had taken on some of the enthusiasm of the students for it began to belch forth more smoke and fire than before and when it was doing its best suddenly the air resounded with a deadened boom which made earthen ware rattle as from a heavy clap of thunder. The sound vihrated and re-vibrateoTuntil it seemed as it' the entire range of hills had been rent. The fire from the cavity of the old hill mixed with hundreds of small stones and gravel was thrown 40 or 50 feet into the air and came down with a crash and mass of dust. Save for the mass of smoke that hung about the hill, everything was quiet. While many in the village* we re much frightened by the explosion it was over so sudden and they were none of them hurt, that but few left the town. However about 300 sought a place of safety some going to the depot and tak • ing the midnight train out while others drove or walked to the next town. There was but little sleep in the village that night as the hill continued to smoke until sometime during the next day, when all was quiet. It was more than a week however before many visited the "crater" and when they did they found a hole about 50 feet across and 25 feet deep. The destruction ot the material used was so complete as to leave no trace of the cause of the eruption of the hill and for months it was considered as one of the wonders of the time.

The correspondent can get & small treatise on the, subject for the asking, by writing the secretary of agriculture, Washington, D. G, for a copy of Farmers' Bulletin No. 82, Silos and Silage. If he wishes to study the subject more in detail, there is Professor King's Physic* of Agriculture (tL75); which gives up considerable space to the construction of silos, and -**A Book on Silage," by the writer ($1.00), both of which boohs may be ordered through the Farmers' Review, Chicago, 111. In the latter book complete specifications for a 300-ton round wooden silo and for a 100-ton stave silo are given, with elevations «nd framing plana, sections, etc, froin which siloe can be readily constructed by anyone at all familiar with bulldihg operations. As the correspondent apparently has not had previous experience wi|b silos the best plan would be for him to build a small tank silo of beveled lumber saeh as Is usedin making water tanks. Then another season when he has gotten some experience with silage and has found out that he cannot do without it, he will very likely wdnt to build a larger silo and can-then put up a more substantial all-wood structure that will not require the attention that stave silos at best require. As to making silage from green pea straw, will say that I have not had any pergonal experience with this material as a silage crop, but can see no reason why it will not make good silage if properly packed in a moderr silo, and if it is not allowed to dr: out too much before being placed in the silo. The best way is to run it through, a feed cutter and cut into inch lengths; wetting the top with about two gallons of water per square foot of surface is to be recommended if the pea vines are not pretty green as they go into the silo.—F.

Henry, in his book on "Feeds and Feeding," says: "By soiling" is/meant supplying forage fresh from the fields to farm stock more or less confined. The first American writer to bring this subject to the attention of our people was Joslah Quiney, whose essays in )820 were later gathered into a book entitled the "Soiling of Cattle," now out'of print Quiney points out six distinct advantages from ^oiling: First, the saving of land; second, the saving of fencing; third, the economizing of food; fourth, the better condition and greater comfort, of the cattle; fifth, the greater r>roduct: of milk; sixth, the attainment of ma* i nure, According to this author, there are six ways in which farm animals destroy the articles destined for their food. First, by eating; second, by walking; third, by dunging; fourth, by staling; fifth, by lying down; sixth, by breathing on it Of these six, the first one only Is useful; all the others are wasteful. Quiney reports his own experience where twenty cows, kept in stalls, were fed green food supplied six times a day. They were allowed exercise in the open yard. These twenty cows subsisted on the green crops from seventeen acres of land, where fifty acres had previously been required. Washington county, railroad.

About 151) years ago Phillppl of Turin announced that a living organism forms the nu cleus, and in a recent investigation M. Ralph Duvois, a French naturalist has shown that all pearls found In a common pearl-bearing molluak are cysts inclosing dlstomes—small marine worms. In the month of August, when few pearh ate obtained, the tiny young dlstomes, a fiftieth of an inch in diameter, are to be ueen instead as reddish yellow points. These become gradually coated with carbonate of lime, in an early stage appearing as black specks and later as brilliant pearls, which remain until the following summer, when they drop to pieces, and the parasite resumes activity and reproduces its kind. But if the parasite dies the crust continues to grow, a large and beautiful pearl being but the sarcophagus of a longdead worm. Hngar Is believed to be from the Hebrew and menus the Stranger.

REMARKABLE BODY OF SOLDIERS On nth Corp* Knows Drill of All N»- lions of t h e World. The most remarkable body of soldiers In the world is Company C. Third Regiment, the National Guard3 of Minnesota, stationed at Dutuih. Every member of this fine company is thoroughly familiar with the military drills of every nation, and could fall into the ranks and fill all tbe re* quirements of a Well-drilled an* 'disciplined soldier of any land. When the company was stationed at Chattanooga during the Spanish- American war. it gained the wellearned reputation of being the bestdrilled company of all the 70 000 troops in camp. Since then the company has taken up the drills of other nations, both ancient and modern, and has become marvelously expert. All the various drills of the company are held in the uniforms of the soldiers of the country which the troops are supposed to represent, and to make these costumes historically correct the company has expended over 13.000. Lieut. C, Josten is the originator of the scheme, and he deserves great credit for the ad.nirable manner in which he has discip.incd the men. Each military number is preceded by a busier and a standard bearer, carrying the flag or standard of the nation represented and blowing the bugle call of the different nations as they fall in line. The costumes—they can hardly be called uniforms—of many are rich silk and satin handsomely embroidered.—The Strand. Mrs. Anna Martin, 47 Hoyt struct, JJrooklyn, N* Y„ writes?

But their meeting had not been un- ODservefl. The ubiquitous baron had his eye on them, and .possibly figured out some wonderful game as connected with his mysterious .conversation. Charlie went back to Ariine and Capt. Brand, and the three chatted for a while. Then ^fline graciously consented to play several favorite pieces, while Charlie idly glanced through a book made np of fugitive songs and music. £t was while < doing this he suddenly came upon an opportunity to make anather test of the man's identity. So Charlie handed the well-worn book of ttuxalc ft) the lair girl. "'Play that ior me—an old favorite— always jgEMrfcres j>leasant recollections."

Of waa the Russian bear, still on guard? Couln the hotel he aurro^ded by his emi*saries, ready to entrap the wonderful adventuress? Having decided to, ejnoke a weed and take a look around ere retiring to bis bunk, Charlie lighted up and sauntered toward the open foor leading to the street '' \ .: . When he etepped^out of the hotel >or, he waa astonished, to discover little knots of men, dre&sed in the welt-known uniform of the Antwerp gendarmes, standing near the Hotel de laPaix. Then it burst upon him that be had not placed enough significance upon what the baron had confided to him. This did not mean the mere arrest of whom they .were about.to execute sumv a cleveT adventuress, charged with no the cpnaptratofa* l Jhaaaajitfr thoylwoald ha trooping forth wvior aaeort;lo ha iiurrted away to gloomy prison eeile. w: land MM* ior Miwei^f Charlie amoved calmly on. : ' This was another experience, 'that '.waj.eii;' ^- •/• • . . ; . - . . • . • He aeemed bound to suffer in the canae of ArHne Brand.

And the cause was one in which he -could stand considerable knocking about with complacency. Tie watched the hotel door. The baron would be sorry on account of his blunder. Naturally, he would want to make amends, and Charlie had already concluded to enlist his valuable services in the work of unmasking Captain Brand. - If anybody could accomplish this • 3 * " « ' i a -» • • • : ' « • < i<f. *-*• U<»i»«V* ;i*f* "V fa t^* ^ L w :-+:^ : ' " ' ; • " * • * : • ' specific crime save that of enslaving men.of rank, and compelling them, through-' her witchery, to contribute from their wealth toward her regal support.

Finally they amid good-night Charlie managed to whisper a few sentences in Arllne's ear while the captain ^waited at the door, so that ha win, assured of seeing her again on the morrrjw.

A number of sombre closed vehicles came dashing down the gassen. They drew up before the hotel. A few loungers gathered in the doorshake a greater part of Europe with a mighty convulsion,; since the conspiracy in Which the Countess Isolde wag connected concerned more than one imperial throne. Charlie forgot that he had been sleepy. > . His eyes were never brighter than n o w . • ' ' •. 1 - • -.i - • It seemed' that the countess had tinally made a stupendous blunder, and Peterhoff's hour of triumph was at hand. - It would mark an epoch in the1 lives of many prominent men in Europe when Isolde Brabant vanished behind the walls of a military fortress Some who had been in the toils would breathe easy for the first time in many moons', and drink a bumper to her long residence in her new and exclusive palette.'• - , , So Charlie watched and waited, deep in reflection. When his cigar was* about half consumed, he thought he would saunter down the street a short distance, to see what effect, if any, his appearance might have upon, the officers on guard. The result was really more than he had anticipated. He had not gone more than a dozen paces before, without the least warning, he felt a rough hand laid roughly upon his arm. As he turned to see what was wanted, a second hand gripped his other arm. A bended face looked into his own. "Messieurs, I am afraid you—-" he began. "Silenced "Have made a little mistake." "Silence on your life!" was hissed. He saw frowning pistols. It was evident that the officers meant business. Charlie began to grow a little indignant. "See here! send for the baron!" he insisted, "He is engaged." "Bat he is my friend—he will be angry wttk.you far-making so ridiculous a btandec.** "So. But we carry out his orders. Now, not a word more, mynherr." "Confound—" "Do yon hear? Not one word, on your life!" Charlie shrugged hla shoulders. Ah! a whistle!—evidently a signal. The game waa about to be called. Even as he stood there, held fast by his captors, he saw a man enter the door of the hostelry. It waa Peterhoff. Another and another followed, until Charlie had counted a round doaen. same' time there peared at the windows across the way, as though some spirit of intuition, passing' through space, gave warning tha£ strange events were occurring. Charlie's captors began to move along toward the hotel door, and of course, he was forced to accompanythem. • He waa still twenty paces away when the baron came out.bearing upon his- arm a lady with a sylphlike form, but who was heavily veiled. Charlie's traitor heart leaped at sight of her. The graceful carriage was so like that of Ariine, so queenly and perfect Yet he knew beyond peradventure that this was the eountess who had finally fallen into the toils of the fowler. Charlie was inclined to rush and seize upon his friend, the baron; but those two guards held his arms in a grip of steel. Attract the attention . of Peterhoff •he could not, since the other had eyes only for the woman at bis side, knowing his men were capable of executing the orders previously given. So he assisted her into a vehicle and swept one last glance around. Charlie cried out pther sounds there were in the street just then. At any rate, . the baron never vouchsafed a single look -in his quarter, but waved an arm, jumped into the vehicle and was gone. By this time the gendarmes were issuing from the hotel, each with a companion, most of the prisoners being gentlemen. As fast as the vehicles were filled with guards and captives they dashed away. Xharlie's turn came. He attempted a protest but was roughly shoved along and thrust into one of the closed vehicles, which presently lumbered down the street. And so the innocent suffered with the guilty. (To he continued.) Mrs. D. Arnold,/ President Woman's Glub, Grand Angeles^ Cak, Relieved erf -a«-:T^uaa^ Lydia E. Pinlcham's Ve *" ""'''' " D E A * MRS.

I expect the 20th of this month there will be a hot time in Cuba. President Palrna i s to be inangerated on that day and the Island is to be turned, over to the new government. "Old Glory" comes down from over Cuban soil and the Lone Star goes up in her stead. T h e first time in the history of the IT. S. that this has been done. But the "Stars and Stripes" doy't come down in defeat; she wasn't raised to stay, for if she had been she would stay and no mistake. She was only raised as a foBtor mother to an infant and now that the infant has grown stronger she leaves it to its own strength but stnnds by with open arms in case that the child should start to fall that she may be able to protect it from harm.

I t will be their first "Independence Day." Something that the Cuban people have long looked and fought for; and for which many brave boys have died, "Cuba Libre." Wm. J. Bryan is here also.

N o liquors may be sold in any theater or similar place of amusement, nor i n any railway station, nor any railway train, nor to minors, nor between midnight and siz in the morning/ The Chilean law, in order t o guard against the political influences of the saloon, forbids any public official whatsoever to hold or be in any way interested in any liquor license. I f a Chilean liquor dealer wants to hold public office, he must first change his occupation, or if a public official wants to become a liquor dealer he must quit h i s office. If our country had a law in force of that character, i t would mean a right wholesome revolution in our city councils. The Chilean new liquor law, moreover, recognizes fully t h e principle of local option. This extends not merely to oities but to city wards. The people of any section of a city may vote to create a prohibition district and absolutely exclude the saloon from t h e neighborhood of their homes. This is a great point gained, T h e right of local ward prohibition in our own cities U a point that should be vigorously pressed in our own country, whenever the larger and better prohibition does n o t obtain. Moreover—and the poiut ia not an unimportant one—offenses against the law are tried promptly and sumarily. No case, can b e continued more than ten days, and no judge may withhold h i s decision more than five days. While the provision* of this Chilean liquor legislators are strikingly thorough, it is in t h e very nature of the saloon business to evade law and resist restriction. We do not feel that the new Chilean law is Utopian in any seuse, but it is interesting to read a law which is evidently intended to b e enforced. This feature of it w e heartily commend.

Polite attention prevailed among those with in hearing.distance; farther away the hum of voices and shouts of unsuppreseed laughter arose on the air in unmistakable volume. This was sacrilege to the ears of Weak-Eyed Jones. To him BO eyent was more solemn than the present, and it seemed the same dignity and reverence he felt should, actuate the conduct of others. The air was suffocating. Early in Old W«ak-Eyed Jones sat on one of the backless benches in front of the speaker's stand. the day the heated atmosphere had become saturated with clouds of choking dust, which rolled into the city behln-1 hundreds of incoming farmers' conveyances. But Weak-Eyed Jones took it all with a generous degree of hu- » over him. having missed meeting with his soldier comrades on the thirtieth of May, he didn't propose to to-day. It might be the last time—probably it would— but he'd gc this once! The band up the. street struck up "The Star-Spangled Banner"—he was conscious of the column moving. He had stood still so long his legs were almost stiff and action made him stagger, but with the use of his cane he maintained his balance and managed to move along. Shouts of "Hurrah!" Hurrah!" greeted his ears from every side. Proudly he lifted his head and threw his shoulders back with unctious military dignity. The ovation continued with increased enthusiasm as they passed up the street. Someone tried to retaliate with a "Hurrah for the boys of *61!" but the voice was lost in the lusty tide of cheering for "The boys of '98!" Following the squad of solders came a bicycle brigade, men on horseback, and, lastly, wagon loads of tlower girls dressed in white—wagons for strong, healthy girls, while decrepit old veterans must go afoot. As the long line rounded a corner and passed from the boulevard into an east and west thoroughfare, Weak- Eyed Jones tottered. Bravely he pulled his remaining strength together and ambled on, his faltering footsteps unable to beat time to the rapid music. Many of his comrades, too. had lg£ng since forgotten how to march. And how, few they numbered now— these Veterans! ..-SU Mount Zlon cemetery was a beautiful spot—lifted above woods and sky just beyond where the lake nestled quietly between two hillsides—the valley, with its ribbon of a rivulet, winding Verdure-laden at its woody base, the azure heavens outlining its great white gates, Its" marble monuments, its flowering shrubbery, its trees of green, with rare exactness beyond. Weak-Eyed Jones raised his eyes to the hill yet in the distance. He could see but the outline of the hallowed spot rising against the lurid sky. His spirit was awed! The heavy march was telling on his weakened body, his stens were getting more and more uncertain. A momentary dizziness came AndVcould ifc^t fade?-; and yonder flonary Rldae where, proudly drawn STbattle % 5 £ -tie*^BnTe^rtte legions awaited them calmly with a - welcome of leaden deathT . — milky and uncomplaining; A young couple at his elbow indulged so busily in conversation he could not hear tho voice of ilMf'adjutant, yet he bore it ellentfyr— Even though hiB obscure tight, years before made almost U3C less by a lebel miuie ball, which carried away .*he bridge of his nose and grazed botn eyes, was powerless to penetrate the dust-heavy distance -be* tween him attd the speaker, net was secretly happy.' , • »; • <• His.meditations were cut shorj by a tudden commotlbin at1 his* eibdw\ People were hurrying from -their seats: the program inust be over. He was carried along with the rest, towards the speakers' stand, but he hadn't gotta far when he noticed some one trying to speak. Above the noise he just caught the last' phrase: "Will close with a, selection by the young ladies' quartette." . Then It wasn't over yet! There was to bejone more number! He tried to be seated, but a buxom country woman, jostled hard against him, nearly sending him off his rheumatic legs. Thenquartette commenced to sing, but their voices were drowned In the tumuli of cc^fusvon,* ,, . Presently a drum corps somewhere out in the streeY struck up "Marching Through • Georgia*'—the line commenced to form. Hurried along with the throng, WeakWfijredMJones.took up a marcbjn^poaftlon wjth others of Ms biue-coated comrades. The neat wasttUl more itfntng'h*^, as ther*tood "Hark!" Suddenly the music of the And whence all this rub-a-dub-dub, rub-a-dub-dub, that fired the very blood within the veins? Ah! Foolish question! Why ask when there was Soffels, the drummer hoy? Nobody hut Soffels could drum like that! Soffels was the only one who could make his drum "talk" In accents so elear and true—now gay, say as the morning, sunlight; now sad—sad as the hour of death, aa he turned the tide of battle Into victory or defeat! "Take the rifle-pita at the base, then halt and reform!" Weak-Eyed Jones heard the order as clear as on the day it fired the souls of thousands of Union soldiers to battle and to victory. The march of many feet was heard; the glint of polished bayonets seen. The stars and stripes stood straight to the breeze as like clockwork that human phalanx moved to obey. Was that the foe there, entrenched at the base of the hill, calmly waiting with muskets primed and ready? But Traversa—man did he see falter. Onward they pressed, with music sparing and flags flying, into the fray and into the face of death. Then, when the first volley had been met and passed. they were over the breastworks and upon the foe. He felt an absence about him then. He looked for Billy. Billy was gone! A bullet had carried him A>wn atthefirstonslaught,he5 concluded. Then he saw the men in the trenches waver for a moment, club their muskets for a last feeble stand. That was all; then they fled. The Federal troops, forgetting their orders in the enthusiasm of the moment, were as quickly over the. ramparts and after them—through woods, over logs", past gulches, and into the face of a mUrderous musketry from above! Presently Weak-Eyed reeled and fell from the marching column, striking his head as be fell. Grasping a shade tree by the side of the .thoroughfare he slowly raised himself to his knee3. Had he, too, been struck by a flying bullet? He put his hand to his head. Yes. there was blood! —and the bridge of his nose was gone! But he forgot the pain momentarily as he heard the order: "Charge the crest of the hill!" pass from mouth to mouth as it came from Grant His pulses leapt. His blood fairly bounded at the words. He tried to rise and obey, but he could neither see nor walk. "Hurrah fer th'—stars an'—stripes!" he shouted in the exultation of the moment, but the effort cost him throbs of pain. A vehicle fall of belated celebrat i o n i s , hurrying after the procession, heard his shout. "A drunken soldier," they said. Weak-Eyed thought an ammunition wagon was hurrying to the front. His sight cleared a little after the first daze from his fall. In the distance he saw clouds of dust arising. "The smoke of the battle," he thought. The music was still playing, clearer and louder than ever, indicating the enthusiasm of battle. Someone approached his side. "Only a—scrape—comrade!" he said. "Never—mind me—I'll be—all r i g h t - soon. There's work—fer you—up there!" He indicated the hill with a wave of his hand. "I tell you he's not drunk; he's sick." The man at his side addressed some one hear at hand. In pity they tried to raise him to his feet. Hi3 legs would not support PEACE! ry rang out on the air. ^rn^boys^'-he-added.

The drive was beckoned to halt, but his attention was centered upon his screaming laughing passengers. / The sun was now almost set Presently Weak-Eyed Jones fe«blv raised himself upon his emaciate elbows, peered with all the power h could muster through his almost sigh, less o;bs in the direction of the blood red sun and moved his lips to speak "Yes—they're waitin'—fer me, Bil ly.

The mineral zone covers a large section of hitherto unexplored country, and is about 175 miles from a railroad. There are five routes leading to the Thunder Mountain country, via.: via Ketchum, Mackay, Boise and Weiser, Idaho, and Redrock, Montana, all on the Oregon Short Line railway. A great rush to this mecca for miners is predicted, and "On to Thunder Mountain" will be as familiar as the old watchword, "Pike's Peak or Bust," as soon as the snows disappear so that the camp may be reached with supplies, which will probably be between May 15 and June 1. A scarcity ef provislona at present kftepg miners away, as flour at $50 per sack is considered somewhat of a luxury even in the golden land. Surrounding Thunder Mountain Is a large section of .country adapted to agriculture and stock-raising. D. E, Burtey, general passenger agent of the Oregon Short Line railroad, at Salt Lake City, sent an expert to report upon that country, and will cheerfully give any information required as to the routes and general conditions in and around the great mining camp. Color Affeclt l'«w* There are conditions in which colo. materially affects the formation of dew, as may be shown by a simple experiment. Place three pieces of board —one white, another green and another black—so that they may have the sun on them all day, and then leave them exposed to the air all night. If all the conditions are normal it will be found In the morning that there Is a good deal of dew on the white board, much less on the green board, and still less on the black board; Indeed, there may be none at all on the latter. The difference is due to the fact that the three boards absorb the sun's rays unequally, and are, therefore, of different temperatures at the close of the day. The black board absorbs the most heat, the the white board the least They all begin to lose their heat as soon as the sun's rays leave them, the white board cooling firut, the green board nest and the black board last. As soon as they become cool enough to condense the watery vapor of the air in eor.tact with them, dew will begin to form on them, and the most dew will form on the one thac cools first It may be that the black board will absorb more heat during the day than it can throw off at night; if so, no dew will form on i t Burning Tlro't. Star City, Ark., May 23th.—A very remarkable case has just occurred here. Mr. W. H. McFalls has been suffering severely for two years with an ailment that puzzled the doctors and everybody. The trouble seemed to be all in his head, which had a burning sensation all the time. Stmetimes this burning pain in the head would be worse than at other times, but it never left him. At last he tried a new remedy called Dcdd's Kidney Pills and was agreeably surprised to find that the burning gradually disappeared. An attack of La Grippe baa laid him up for the last few weeks, but Dodd's Kidney Pill3 have banished his old trouble entirely. His sen George used a few of the Pills which his father did not need and they have done him so much good that ho says ho would net take ten cents a pill for the few he still has left Th»v rrcoclifr who talks nbrwt firing over the IKNUIS of his people hud better lotirn that his business Is feeding as \v«U as liriuff.

The sHadow s w a y e d from side to side. PERRY had been at bis.desk since 8 o'clock, but be hml^otaccomplished much. At midnight lit' was engaged In draw In j: clrch^ Dn a sheet of paper. Ho covered tlio sheet and two others, and the absurd occupation seemed to take an Increasing hold upon his attention. At the last his eyes were wide open and staring, and the palms of his hands were wet with perspiration. His head hun« forward, and he licked his lips as one does who Is sick with fear. An observer might have said that these circles w^re spells of the blackest magic and that Perry had succeeded In raising the arch fiend. Presently he got upon his feet, as if animated by a sudden resolution, and assumed n ratrltaTy attitude; with™hl*" back to the chair in which he had been sitting. The light from" the cluster of electric bulbs hanging over the desk was thrown strongly down upon it by a reflector, but enough escaped to east a giant shadow of Perry upon the wall. The shadow sWayed from side to side. The unfortunate man opened his eyes, and perhaps he caught a glimpse of the moving silhouette, for the breath came out of him in a pitiful cry, and he pressed a hand upon his forehead that was wet with visible drops of cold sweat. "It can't be true," he said and then laughed nervously. "Talking to myself! That's another symptom." He stretched out his hand toward the desk. There was a numbness in his fingers, and queer little pains ran I up and down his forearm. He picked up a bundle of proof sheets and glanced hastily over the printed lines. "It certainly is a coincidence," he, said, "that I should have written this story. I was not conscious of portray-1 ltig myself when I drew the character of Ifinghnm, but everybody will think so after the book's out, and I'm—done for." He swallowed a mout'iful of air1 at these last words. "In a liiirry to got ; rich was Langha.m. lie hud too many irons in the tire. He thought all the time, even when he was ;i-!eep.

The ; money bet won and the braius are lost, i I'm done for!" j He paced the floor with uneven \ strides. There was a band of pain about his head just above _ „„„.'., ,,,,..,,^ his eyes, and the fingers of F . v ; | ^ , : ^ his right hand twitched with little nervous throbs that extended to the elbow. Suddenly the tears sprang into his eyes. His lids were wet in a flash, and he was ashamed. "I must take this thing , as a man should," he said. [rr?zf/^~-* "She shan't know, nor any one else. Thank heaven that it has come upon me now, when I can bear it alone! It won't be noticed In me right away. It's slow, but sure. Don't I know the symptoms? Didn't 1 stuff myself full of them while I was writing that cursed story? All right ! cept myself. I'm d e a d - broke." "Money Is a small matter, a trifle,** -replied Perry. "A man may be poor one day and rich the ures which, once lost, ate never regained." "If you have such a '•M contempt for money," " A l o n e , said Hammond, "you J a c k ?

"And that's the hanging lamp that used to be in the library at her house. You must be very solid with the family, or they wouldn't let her rob them for you. When were these thinjr* w * in here?" "Yesterday!" groaned Perry. "Well, they'll come in handy for housekeeping when you quit these bachelor quarters. Let me see. When is the wedding?" "Never." Hammond, who had been examining the chair that had been a part of Miss Bertram's gift, slowly straightened up and looked at his friend. "In the name of heaven," he cried, young man. "Go way," said the barber. "You don't mean I t " "I mean Just that, but you needn't tell anybody. I shouldn't have mentioned It."

"you don't moan to tell me"— "I didn't mean to tell you anything," replied Perry, "hut there's no way out of it now. Swear that you won't whisper it to a human creature. Frank, I've worked myself to death. I have offered up my nervous system on the altar of Mammon. Here! Look at these circles I have drawn. See how the lines are wavy and uncertain, as if a drunken man had made them. That's paralysis, general paralysis of the insane— paresis, as it's now commonly called." "You're wild!" exclaimed Hammond. "Why, J o h n n y , y o u a r e the healthiest fellow I know! There's nothing the matter with you except that you sit up till 4 o'clock jn the morning writing your confounded stories. As for these circles, nobody can . draw them except artists." Standing by the table, he took a pencil and rapidly traced circles on a pad. They were not very good ones, but they hadn't the wavy outline. It was impossible not to see the radical difference. "I triod to stand steady with my eyes shut and couldn't do it." continued Perry In a husky voice. "That's a sure sign." Hammond hastily closed his eyes, but he stood up like a tree. haveu't got it, that's sure," he "Have you seen a doctor?" Perry smiled wearily. "I don't need to," he replied. "I've been studying the subject for weeks. Character in a book, you see. Queer coincidence, isn't it? Hello! There's some one rapping at your door." Hammond looked out into the hall. "Some of the boys have come around to play cards," he said. "I suppose you won't join us. You never touch a card. It's all work and no play with you. (iood night and cheer up, old chap. This tiling may not be as bad as you think." It is utterly hopeless," responded Perry. "I've looked up all the authorities. Mind! Not a word about this. 1 shall tell no one." Hammond made a gesture that pledged his soul and body, but about 3 o'clock in the morning, under the influence of a beverage that is known as a club cooler, he confided to the other follows that Perry was a wreck. "It'sa dreadful thing," he said. He was a brilliant man. He made ness was a cheerful, emotional youug man uainod Joe Lynwood. He was an expert In all matter relating to the stock market, and it was really due to him that the modest enterprise had thriven so well. But Lynwood never would have said so. He had an Infinite admiration and affection for Perry and believed that every word he said was directly inspired. "Joe.", said Perry aa soon lis he entered the otlico.

"How did you know?" he whispered. "Do I show it?" The explanation which this remark necessitated was extremely painful. Lynwood could not believe the terrible news, yet he had so long been accustomed to put implicit faith in Perry's infallibility that he was greatly alarmed.

"I didn't Intend to tell anybody," he said, "but I have mentioned it to one or two people—in fact, confound me, I've told every man, woman and oar horse that I've met. It's one of the symptoms. A few more won't make ! any difference. I'll have Dr. Fossendon i come over to my place this evening." i Perry got through the day fairly I well. . Indeed at times he forgot that he was doomed. In the evening, however, he began to feel bad again. He was sitting at the desk writing to Ethel. He had not the courage to go to see her. Of course, the engagement must be broken, but he knew that he couldn't do it face to face. It would be better to send a clear, written statement. All the worst symptoms came back to him as he wrote—the pain In his head, the dizziness, the dreadful, ominous trembling of the fingers and arm. The change 1» his handwriting was enough of itself to remove the last doubt as to his condition. When he arose, with the sealed letter in his hand, his head reeled, and he felt faint and weak. He went out to mail the letter, and, happening to meet some friends, he remained nearly an hour. Dr. Fessenden had sent word that he would call about midnight, and it was only a few minutes after that hour when Perry got back to bis room. The doctor had been there quite a long time, having arrived earlier than he had anticipated. When Perry entered, he was pacing the floor, holding his right elbow in his left hand. "I've taken the liberty to write some letters." he said. "Where in blue blazes did you get that desk?" "My fiancee gave it to me," replied Perry, forgetting for a moment that he no longer had a fiancee. "Isn't it a beauty?" "It's handsome enough," said the doctor; "but, sainted Jehosimphat it's a terror to write on! Why, man, that little molding on the edge catches you right on the crazy bone, and yon can't get away from it no matter how you sit. My arm is full of the St. Vitus' dance." Perry stopped with wide open eyes. His jaw dropped. "And that lamp!" continued the doct o r "Theblamedr^thlng concentrates the heat right on top'of a fellow's.head. When I got up, I was so dizzy that I nearly fell in a fit I should think a man who had written as much as you have would have had the sense"— "Miss lien ram gave me the desk, and she arrangod everything," stammered Perry. "And so you thought It must he perfection!" sreorod the doctor. j an imagination overstrained by too much* struggling with the troubles of | the fictitious Langbam. His mind was a prophetic panorama wherein he saw a short future full of grief. When at last he sought his bed, it was to find ten thousand nightmares stabled under his pillow, and in the morning he was unrefreshed and tremulous as a drunkard. . Upon leaving the building he went to the barber's shop where he was'accustomed to be shaved. The cheerful artist of the razor gave him good day and assured him that be was looking well. "I'll give you a dollar," said Perry sharply, "If you'll tell me honestly how I do look." "You don't mean that there's any* thing really the matter?" he asked In a t;one of real sympathy^ "Nothing but paresis," replied the just iike a i {!:;• niii!tcr S;''H! for me" ": !o;:von I I'lITV " l - an ! •ith love.

"Lalla Rookh" was read universally and translated into several European languages. The poem has no lofty Miltonic flights, no hall of Eblis reaching the height of the sublime, but it is cal ciliated to suit the taste of every order of the mind. Young and old, educated and uneducated, comprehend its luxurious imagery, sweet passages, fascinating descriptions and gorgeous voluptuousness; hence the uncommon popularity of the poem.

OT course it was very annoying. Hie cigar had gone, and, that source Of Consolation lost, Charlie had to turn to something else in order to interest himself. A companion in misery was alongside. Up to the present Charlie did not know whether he were young or old—all he saw was that a man had been shoved in ahead of him. So he leaned his head toward that~j> of his fellow-passenger and exclaimed in French: "Monsieur, it seems that we are companions in misery. Might 1 ask your name?" giving hl3 own a t the same time. (^'f^ The other did not appear downcast —indeed, he answered, quits cheerfull y : " "I am Henri, the Marquis of Montpensier, a blood relative of Don Carlos of Spa!h7r Further conversation was prevented by a gruff demand from one of the guards for silence. At length they drew up to the prison. Without ceremony the two prison- " era were hustled into~the1srh Charlie silently walked into the dark cell which yawned before him. To have refused would have been folly, ainco by force ha -would, dnub. have been thrown over the thresh old. Ah! he might be worire off. His cigar case still held , a few choice weeds, such as yappsal most strongly to the heart of the confirmed smoker. So he hastened to secure a cigar. Next came a match. As he struck this latter and a light sprang into existence he heard an exclamation, and remembered he had a comrade in misery. He saw a ycung chap with a resolute face. There wa3 more of an American look about him than European, and yet Charlie remembered having heard him give the name of Guissppc Brigncii, as though he wore an Italian. "Pardon, comrade,*' Charlie said in French. '"Allow me to light my \viu\l. since matches are scarce and t'.i?n I shall offer yen a cigar," with which he proceeded to put has words into execution. "Thanks awfully, but 1 don't smoke." said the other laconically in the best of English. The match expired oefore Charlie could get another look at his comrade. But he knew his first suspicion was true—the young fellow came of Anglo- Saxon stock, and had assumed an Italian name in order to keep his own from disgrace or from some other reason. They might exchange confidences while trying to pass away the long hours, or at least engage in social discourse. "Pardon me again, sir, but can ycu spare a couple of matches?" asked the ether. "Half-a-dozen, a t your service." "Thanks. They may serve my end well and yours in the bargain." Charlie's curosity flashed up. What did the ether mean to do? Was he desperate enough to think of setting t h e prison on fire? Nonsense! There was not one chance in a million of accomplishing such a thing to men shut up here In this grimy dungeon. Neve:thele3S, he knew that nothing was ever accomplished without effort, and that often a capricious fortune aids thos^ who help themselves. A cursory examination of their dungeon revealed a startling, yet cheering, fact Under the boards the yourgsters discovered a tunnel. When the flat stone was lifted up, behold! an opening yawned below. The youth gave thanks in his peculiar way, and without much more ado jumped into the breach. "I shall return, comrade," he said. And Charlie believed him. He sat there smoking his cigar and feeding the flames with bits of the splintered planking. MinuteB passed. .Evidently his companion was making quite a tour under the prison flooring. - At last there was a movement, and a head appeared above the stone flagging. ~—tiQhfe^me-a-handT-_please.'' Charlie knew from the look of triumph upon his face that the other was decidedly pleased with what he had discovered. , "In luck, eh?" he hazarded. • "The best in the world. Some good <nap in the past has made a tunnel all but breaking through. I did that part while I was gone. In fact, to tell you the truth, I've been uuder the MUrngtv '*' ""OutBlde the prison walls?" incrednkmsly. "Yes. When 1 tr.pped the end of beyond the outer walls. But I suppose we might as well go." "Then good-by, my des,r fellow," "But—you will share my escape. We don't separate yet, you know." - 'Tin not going." "Not going? You prefer to remain ir this acouiBod hole, when freedom nf, fers? Come, you are joking, sir." "Oh, no. You see if I crawled out o' here I would, by implication, admit m3 connection with those whom Baror Peterhcff has hauled in. Being innc cent, I shall sit here until he come: to beg my pardon and personally con duct me to freedom." The youngster looked a t him witi. kindling eyes. ^•JBravo! I like your spirit," he said "Wcfyd you mind shaking hands with me, sir?" "It will be a pleasure on my part.' And they exchanged a warm grip. "I hope we may mset again. Let mc give you my card. Who knows wha strange chance may drift us tcgethe again. Who can say under what condi tions we may come together again?" Who indeed? Both of them would have -beer chilled with norror could thsy havt even guessed tne truth, but the vol: of the future mercifully hid that fron. mortal ken. Another hearty Anglo-saxcn hand shake, then t h e youngster dreppet into the hole. Charlie made as comfortable a sea! as was possible from some of the oh planks and_kcpt _jho_ fire going witl fragments. By degrees hid thoughts camt around again to his late companion. Then he remembered that as yet h« id~~noT even know t h e other's- tnr~ name. Where was the card? Ah, ju3t where he had thrust, it, and, bending down he read tne name by the flickering light of his fire. Then it dawned upon him why Jihad felt such a singular interest ii the young fellow, and why he hat deemed his features familiar, ye. cculd net grasp the tangible substance for the name, written boldly, va3. ALEXANDER BRAND. Here then was th? most remarkable coincidence in the whcle course of hi-. varied experiences. There cculd be no mistake. This young .fellow bare seme rela tu-nship—that of brother or cousin rvihapo—to Arline. He had her name, and there' wa<. 1 strong family resemblance \.\ theL .aces. Tlieie must bo a sense of awe in the realization that one is a mere pup pet in the handa of destiny—that the power which sends unnumbered worlds whirling through space in theii exact orbits, without danger of ecl lision, or of the slightest change in their course, can condescend to superintend such a small thing as the welfare of one puny human life. Charlie pondered upon the matter a long time. Then, before he knew it, he fell asleep, despite his hard seat and his determination to remain on guard. '"'hen he awoke he was stiff and soro. .^ light gleamed in his eyes—it was the warder making the rounds with bread and water. When the gruff man held up the light in order to view the confines o! of the dungeon, and beheld only Charlie seated there and blinking like an owl, he was much amazed. He demanded to knew where the other prisoner had hidden himself. Charlie calmly pointed to the hole still uncovered by the slab of stone. "Oh! he's gone out for a walk," he said, coolly. The man began to grasp the situation, and when h<D could move, he sprang to the door of the dungeon to bawl for assistance. Several other wardens came tumbling into the cell. Then ensued a great powwow of Dutch phrases., while Charlie yawned and stretched himself. Then came the commandant. "How did this happen?" he demanded. "Well, you see, he had an appoint- 89 3 .estlgate when the all-powerful Baro ,'eterhoff bromht In political prisoner? vith order* to hold them securely.- Would meln faerf bs pleased to go vith him to his office, where he could ;e more comfortable, and there await :he coming of the baron, who would with a word set him free? But mein herr was obstinate. The baron must come to him. As ment, and did not wish- to break his engagement" "But you, mein herr; how is it you remain? Do you like this residence so well?" grimly. "I told you la3t night, or attempted to, that I was an Innocent party—that Baron Peterhoff was my friend—that my arrest, under the circumstances was an outrage; and hence I utterly refused to leave this place until you and the baron had humbly begged my pardon. Indeed, I am not sure but that I will Insist on remaining here until the English" consul comes to ser me and take3 action against your miserable government for treating mc. c British subject, in this disgraceful way." Just as he had expected, his manner awed the fiery commandant, who feared trouble, He began to whine at once, and expressed his rgret that any mistake should have occurred. Surely mein herr must hold him blameless, since he had only done hi* duty in the premises. It- was not given to him to In- Paul and Silas, in days of yore, made he governor unbend his dignity and 2ome to plead with them to go away, >o Charlie meant to keep hold of his advantage. So the commandant went away. Charlie was still smoking, with one of the keepers for company, and the loor of his cell wide open, when voices vere heard in the corridor. Then entered the baron. The great man looked both disturbed tnd amused. He had heard the amaz Ing story of the commandant, and sifted the wheat from the chaff, so that he had a pretty fair idea as to the truth. He marched straight up to Charlie uul stretched cut his hand. "My most abject apologies, my dsar boy, for what has happened. It was P miserable mistake, on my part. I trus-' you will forgive me," he s^aid. Charlie saw he was sincere, and a? Ms indignation passed away he unbeni his dfgnlty7~ "Then ycu know it was Mi3S Arline Brand, and not the Countess Isolde whom I assisted Into a carriage at the Steen?" he asked, eagerly, determined to put his fears to the test. "Yes; she has assured me she nevelaw^ you, saTFat'lii'tttstaTiTe^'TetuTiredthe baron. Then it Is all right. Now I arr ready to leave here and go out wltr cu; bar*©**-."-he said, smiling "To breakfast with me, I hope." Charlie hesitated. True, he anticipated more or le?r pleasure in his coming interview witl Arline. There would be much to heannd some surprising things to tell or his part. But these would keep a little longer besides, it is sometimes exceedingl: pleasant; to anticipate a feast. He had something which he wisher" to relate to the baron, seeking in return his advice and material a'.d. Whenever men went to the desperat length 'of contemplating crime, in orde to secure wealth, as the so-called Cap' Brand and his confreres had certainl done when they purposely abandoue the young girl among those awfu passages amid the Steen dungeons, i was time the stem arm of the lav/ wa invoked in order to bring them ur with a round turn. And t o whom could he go with r better ehow of results than to th baron? So, arm in arm, Charlie and Baror Demetruis Peterhol! sauntered out 0 the prison. It was about eight in the morning Charlie could Imagine the young fe1 low standing on the deck of the ver -*el bound for London, and snappin his fingers at the baron's dragnet. He was determined not to give thslightest clew to his companion COD cerning Alexander Brand, his plans c present whereabouts. A vehicle stood near. Into this Charlie was shown; th baron followed, and presently thedrew up before a palatial abode, wher the widower baron resided in gre^ style, as became a man of his immen? means. And over the elaborate breaJcfa?' Charlie found a chance to sp'n h' little story, the baron proving greatl Interested, as the sparkle in his eye al tested. He could read Charlie's secret a easily as though the other carried thstory on his brow. "You have done excellently, Charlie my boy," he said, finally; "but it 1' just as well you ask my assistance iunmasking this unholy fraud. H. and h:s unprincipled accomplice might be too much for you. Dcpen upon it, I shall tear the mask from hi face, and that right speedily." (To be continued.) T i e K w l « 11111711 iff*.

"Why, you told the members to sit down in the aisles," said Clark, "and you are a near neighbor of Boston, t'ou'll not be able to appear In Masachwu'tts society for two years at .east." "Ch, I see," said Mr. Gillett, seriously. "What I intended to say was t#'it the members in the aisles should take Jieir seats." * * * A visitor to the capitol burst into the press gallery of the house. "I beg your pardon," said Doorkeeper Mann, "but this gallery is reserved for the press." "I don't care about that," replied the visitor. "I am a taxpayer, and I lave a right to go anywhere In this ouilding." "Oh," said Mann, "if you arc a taxpayer, that's different. We have a special gallery reserved for taxpayers. Let me show you."

The promise formally nv«te has been .-carried, out. I n thiamonient when we tecLour right as an Independent' nation it is impossible to suppress our gratitude to the United States. To recognizee tula debt of gratitude Jo tho groat nation is an act which exalts us and which makes us worthy of the consideration and respect of the other nations of the world. "It is necessary now to decide all t h e laws laid down in tho constitution. We a r e capable of fulfilling all the obligations and compromises which have been contracted, a n d we should prepare the budget with the greatest care."

"We recognise that during the American Intervention the sanitnrv conditions of the islnnd were greatly improved, but it is necessary to continue this work and make these improved conditions permanent." "It is very satisfactory to us," says the president, "that the republic of Cuba has been officially recognized by the United States. Oreat Britain, France. Mexico. Guatemala. Nicaragua.

I n o n e ' « leg off. A little old Irishman named Flnnerty came down the street. His clay pipe, the bowl of which was turned upsside down, was in the corner of his mouth and his dinner pall was in his hand. Just as he came opposite the gang the dog gave a sudden jerk and broke loose. He made one leap and the teeth of the canine were fastened in the seat of c t h e o l d man's trousers. Three shakes of t h e h e a d 7 a series'of growls, a lot of profanity, and it was all over. The owner grabbed the dog and pulled him off. With him came half of the trousers. The only unconcerned man in the crowd was FInnerty. He looked "at the dog quizzically, shifted the pipe to the other corner of his mouth and said: "Begorrah, Oi tink dat dom dog would boite." Then he skirted fences in getting home, and he had to walk sideways.— Cincinnati Enquirer. Washington the observance was more genefral tha^i ever before. President Itooaevclt delivered the oration at Arlington, where the graves of the Confederate ds well as Union soldiers were strewn with flowers. The president in his address said: "Just a t tUs momant tha army of the United States is carrying to corup.etUm a- small but peculiarly trying and difficult war in wnioh is involved uot oniy the •honor of the flag, but the triumph of riviHagtton --over-forees-whfcfe" siand for the bla-k chaos of savagery and barbarism.'* The president regrets that, "under terrible provocation trom a very cruel and treacherous enemy," some of the soldiers have "so far forgotten themselves as to counsel and commit, in retaliation, acts of cruelty." Far greater atrocities have been -committed by the natives, but that does not excuse American wrongdoers, and they should be punished. "From time to time there occur in our country, to the deep and lasting shame of our people, lynohlngs, carried on under circumstances of Inhuman cruelty and barbarity—a cruelty infinitely worse than any that has ever been committed by out troops in the Philippines; worse to the victims, and far moie brutalizing to those guilty of it. The men who fall to condemn these lynohlngs. and yet clamor about what has been done in the Philippines are indeed guilty of neglecting the beam in their own eye while taunting their 'brother about tht •nwte-in-hts.*1 The president cites the rules of warfare 'aid down by Lincoln, whi h provide for the "Just severity necessary in war," and adds: '-The most destructive of all forms of cruelty would be to show weakness where sternuess is demanded by iron need. But all cruelty Is forbidden, and all- harshness beyond what is called for by need. 1'The guilty are to be punished; but in punishing them, let those who sit at ease at home who wajk delicately and I've in the soft places of the earth, remembet also to do them common justice. Let not the effortless and the untempted rail over-much at strong men, who. with blood and sweat, face years of,toil and days and nljfhts of agony, and at need lay down th&lr lives in remote troo'c longles to bring the liprht of civilization into the world's dark places/ Tne president recites the charges of butchery, rapine, lawless crue'tv. etc., wh'eh were hurled against Lincoln and Grant, by the opponents of the civil war, and adds: "Verily, these men who thus fnullv p'anderod vou have the'r h^rs to-day in those who tradue our armies In thp PhnorMnes, who fix* their eyes on individual e'eeds of wrontj so keenly that at ia$t they ber^om0 wi»v? to the pre-1! worV of ppace and frpedom that has already been fiocomplished.

Shafter carried a so-called "dol - lar watch," a timepiece Upon which he placed- great stress as to lls^hrfaW bility, although many of his immediate associates were skeptical about its accuracy. One sultry day, preparatory to tho noonday meal, a group of officers were trying to settle a dispute as to tho exact time of day. The discussion became heated, as each championed the reliability of his particular "infallif[ ble," and personalities seemed imminent as Gen. Shafter made his appearance. He was appealed to to settle the controversy. The general slowly drew his wat^h from his pocket and said with marked deliberation: "Gentlemen, the official time of this post is t l l : 4 7 .

Adolphus Busch, who has been doing some booming as a member of the S t Louis Exposition exploiting committee, tells t h e following story: , "Last summer when I went to Europe I took along my head brewer, whose admiration for h i s adopted country is only equaled by his desire to appear thoroughly Americanized. Together we visited his native town in Germany, where h e was made much of. Of course they h a d a 'kommers,' and my companion took t h e opportunity to endeavor to make a speech after the American style, but in t h e German language, of course. He started out boldly, though he is no public speaker, and got along fairly well until he attempted the funny story which he knew should accompany every American speech worthy the name. I t was funny, I assure you, as he told it, But "his "fieareTf" 'we're" toff wetttnan^ aered to laugh a t their fellow-townsman, and so it fell flat. Discouraged and disgusted by this lack of appreciation of American humor, he dropped heavily into his chair, and, leaning across the table, whispered hoarsely to me: " 'I'd gif ten tollars if dot story was pack into me.'

Potts was a conspicuous figure in the navy department clique thnt prosecuted Admiral Schley. Emperor Willlum was reported to have studied the Bchle.v-Sampson controversy pretty thoroughly and to have reached the conclusion that Schley had been cruelly wronged by the navy department cliqae. Hence his antipathy to Potts. The right of any nation to refuse to receive a military or naval attache is fully recognised The Rmperor Received Hint.

Potts had been received by other German naval officials of high rank with every mark of consideration.

On the first morning of the fog, coming down after a somewhat restless night, she inquired the cause of the banging which she had frequently heard. Her son-in-law told her that it was due to the fog, and as the old lady did not ask any further questions the matter was dropped. On her return to the country, however, she was full of the wonderful things she had seen in London. "Did ye see a Lonnon fog, granny?" said one of her listeners one evening, when London was again the all-absorbing topic. "Aye. that I did!" replied granny; "and heard un, t o o !

Investigations have shown that bac teria wage a fierce war among th&nioives, just as do the grasses aru. weeds that clothe the surface of th earth. It is a common remark tua ulue grass will drive cut other kin?!, of gra.^sey. So do certain kinds of b;u- :cria destroy or drive out other kindof bacteria. Not that the one kirn feeds on the ether kind. But one Uiu-i takes ljoasession of the food supplit'• aud the others perish from lack 01 sustenance. In milk, when it is drawr there appear numerous bacteria. Th< lactic acid ferments are few in'num ber, yet these are the blue grass tha: is to drive out all other kinds. For the first few hours after milk is drawn the miscellaneous bacteria increase and seem to have possession. BuL in twelve hours the lactic acid bacterid have increased enormously.

Divorce is even more easily managed in Syria than it is in America, for in America there are at least some law court proceedings to be gone through, whereas in Syria three words spoken by the husband will do the deed and put the woman out of the housfe. These words spoken, the wife drops whatever work she may be engaged in, takes her youngest child (the others belong t o their father, aud goes back to her father's house, where she remains, a lusowneu and degraded creature, until another purchaser comes forward for her. If the woman's husband repent and -desires-rto-have—her -bacir. kv e n - gages a professional tool—generally a half-witted person, who makes a Hvins in this way—to marry her and divorce her next day. The reason of this Is that a man may not take back hi3 divorced wife unless she has since been married and divorced by another man. llarmfnl Fond- l l a r d t o T r o v e The pure food bills that are base'1 on the discovery in them of deleteriou. substances are practically iiuposs>b.< of enforcement.

"Now that a new trial is impossible in Cuba I ask the operation of all my friends i« the United States to try to get me a trial there. I will present .myself to answer any charges that may he brought against me through any legal constituted authority, growing •out of the-postal cases.

Wood's commission as major-general of volunteers expired I made an order for further allowance, equal to the difference iH'tweefl: .the salary of major-general and brigadier-general, so as to keep his total compensation -at the same figure, the combined compensation received as au olflccr of the army and as governor of Cuba being always $1.",- (XK) per annum.

Y., • - pretty and- athletic achool-Heacher-of the "Hooper's Valley school, has demonstrated her ability to care for herself by thrashing several pupils who attempted to assault her, and has been acquitted by a jury of flogging one jit her assailants with a horsewhip. Several pupils of the school, led by Ira Hillegas, had organized a plot to oust the teacher. Miss Nelson ordered young Hillegas to replenish the fire. He refused and she threatened him with a whip. He attempted to strike her with a coal scuttle, and the other boys in the plot came to his aid, but she was equal to the occasion and placed her would-be assailants hors de combat. Then with a large horsewhip she administered a thrashing to Hillegas, raising fourteen ridges on his arms and back and drawing blood in three places. He swore out a warrant for her arrest and she was tried before Judge Smith. When, at the close of the evidence, the jury rendered a verdict of not guilty, there was a dramatic demonstration in the court room. JV Chicago Strike Over.

But at high water, when i t stands thirty or forty feet higher on its banks, it sweeps along at nine miles an hour with irresistible impetus. Imagine what that means in a big river—nine miles an hour. We are sp used to railroad trains that run sixty or seventy miles an hour that it does not seem an overwhelming speed, But consider that whan a railroad, train is once checked its power is gone.

Triw%tm Libraries tn Healoo. There are not a few fine and extensive private libraries Ln Mexico, for there are many book lovers among the educated people of this country. In the city libraries, ranging from 4,000 to 10,000 volumes exist, and one of t h e most valuable collections of "Americana," hooks relating to the discovery and early settlement of Latin America, is that of Don Jose Maria de Agreda, an erudite gentleman descended from an ancient and noble Spanish family, who is the librarian of the national museum. Senor Agreda's collection is noted for its many priceless volumes, for he has been collecting hooks in this city since he was a lad. He is an enthusiastic antiquarian, and no man is fitter for the great task of writing a history of the City of Mexico than this learned and cultivated gentleman, one of the ornaments of Mexican culture.— Mexican Herald. S u e - D M p In K»n88*» Mr. Eugene I. Ware, the new commissioner of pensions, who over theaame of "Ironquiil" long ago established his reputation as a wit and writer of verse, has been much interested for years in the condition of roads in his adopted state of Kansas.

Early American writers were poorly rewarded. Washington Irving was the first who made any notable success in literature. His Sketch Book brought him $600.

The Hanging of the Crane brought the poet $3,d0t, of which he gave $1,000 to the friend who negotiated' the sale, certainly a liberal' commission. Keramos brought him $1,000,, and these two were the culminating prices for his single productions, though- he was an industrious worker for' more than fifty years. While Hawthorne was hoarding the $1,800 he received for The Scarlet Letter, Mrs. Stowo was counting her thousands from Uncle Tbnrtr Cabin, which brought her $10,000 in the first four months after its publication in book form.

H e has been fcishon for thirty- 'three, r e m , The recent remarkable case of Henry C. tCrause, who strangled his mother, has served to recall other instances on record in the history of medical jurisprudence where crimes have been connected with dreams and hallucina* tions. One of the oldest cases of the kind is that of the English gamekeeper who was kflled by his son. Both were guarding from poachers the preserves on whfch they were employed, when the son, wearied with the long vigil, felt asleep. Upon being suddenly awakened he seized his fowling piece and slew his father, evidently, in his half-awake condition, acting under the delusion that he w a s attacking a poacher. He was tried and convicted, bat later was pardoned on the ground that, because he did not know what he was doing, there was no Criminal intent to the action.

I will undertake, at short notice for a small sum and with great expections, to prepare victims for the asylums, poor-housesj prisons and gallows. I will furnish an article which will increase the amount of fatal accidents, multiply the number of distressing diseases and render those which are harmless incurable. I will deal in drugs which will deprive some of life, many of reason most of property and all of peace—which will cause the fathers to become fiends; wives, widows; Children, orphans and all mendicants. I will cause many of the rising generation tn grow up in ignorance and piove a burden and mi is ance to the nation. I will cause mothers to forget their offspring, and cruelty to take the place of love. * I will sometimes even corrupt the ministers of religion; obstruct the progress of the gospel: defilo the purity of the church, and cause temporal, spiritual and eternal death; and if any should be so impertinent as to ask why I have the audacity to bring such accumalated misery upon a comparitivly happy people, my honest reply is: "Money!"

"During" tbe season of Lent," says the London "Chronicle, "it was anciently the custom of the watchmen to crow the hour of the night instead of shouting it, the intention being doubtless ta remind sleepless sinners of the effect the third crowing of the cock had on St. Teter. served at This custom, too, was ol> the royal court, an officei known as 'the king's cock crower' performing the duty within the precinct* of the palace. "On the first Ash Wednesday after th» accession of* the house of Hanover, ai the then Prince of Wales, afterward George 11., was at supper, this officei entered and crowed 'past 10 o'clock.* The astonished prince mistook the crow for an insult and rose to resent it, but was made to understand with somt difficulty that the custom wag In accordance with court etiquette.

As Mary MacLane's book Is to be dramatized it seems to be about time to turn in a general alarm. Tte servant problem is being solved in New York. The society women are taking lessons in housework. Fort de France can hardly take its place among the world's celebrated health resorts for a few days yet. The excitement of dodging taxes does' a great deal to prevent New York's society suffering from ennui. man? The cyclones in Kansas and Oklahoma are selecting routes where they can use the fast trains for pacing purposes. The meanest man has just been discovered in Chicago. He pawned his wife's false teeth to raise money for a can of beer. Ragtime music has been prohibited on the recreation piers in New York. This is another of the horrible acts of the reformers.

The culmination of the. deadlock be tween the.tux- commission and J. L. Board, of Port Huron, came to a showdown Friday, and Mr. Board w a s arrested, charped with the misdemeanor of refusing to iippear. before the commission and testify as to his property kolditnm. Board appeared in Police Court aiid refused to plead, the court entering a plea of not guilty. He was allowed to go on his own reoojrnlz ttnee, to appear for examination June 17. The arrest of Mr. Board lias caused a sensation, as it w a s not thought the commission-would go thai far. The arrest was .made under a statute which aids the board of tax commissioners to carry out their duties, and makes it a misdemeanor for any citizen who, when subpenned to appear before the board to testify us to property, refuses to come. Board will tight the case. The commission will have the auditor- general l>egin mandamus proceedings against the Commercial bank to have it disclose Board's deposits. They claim the bank should disclose the same as they would do in a garnishee case. «Tk* WUiU Ill»«*a.* Papers from Colorado Springs, Col., ha ve: baea received i n Battle Creek, giving long accounts of the experiences of Holla Cuskiug P w i n e t t formerly of that city, whose death in t h e Philippine* on the. e v e of his .marriage to a belle of the Choctaw Nattou w a s told in .the daily papers Thursday.

Some of the special correspondents who have been writing industriously about tbe Martinique calamity will soon arrive at tbe scene of the disaster. Now that a prize fighter has been killed in the ring at Boston, it may be discovered that Massachusetts h a s laws intended to prohibit public slugging matches. How will King Alfonso's subjects like his admission that he does not like bull fighting himself, and that he would like to introduce horse racing as a substitute? Queen Wilhelmina has contributed $800 for the benefit of the Martinique sufferers. This will cause her husband's creditors to express another large batch of disgust.

Millions of what are reported as the 17-yeor locusts were found on tbe Townr farm just north of Ann Arbor Thursday night. They swarmed In a large orchard and made a peculiar noise that was heard for about half a mile. Dispatches from Toledo state that the swarm is also appearing in that locality, and advices from Illinois are to the same effect. The mere fact that the locust is in the neighborhood is enough to cause the greatest alarm and the most serious speculation. No greater devastation of all that is green In vegetation is known. They are said to appear once in 17 years, and there are many authentic stories of the destruction they have brought to various parts of the country. Michigan, however, has escaped in a very large measure. Aa*« One Hundred fc«rt Eleven. Daniel Smith died suddenly Saturday morning at :1:80 o'clock at the residence of K. M.

The nett thing on the program was to find a chance for a quiet talk, where the captain could not Intrude. So he asked again for Lady Arllne, and she presently came down to the same bliou parlor, rosy and smiling. Charlie had bea*d the voice Of Capt. Brand somewhere about the hotel, and he was more or less concerned lest that worthy come in upon them ere he could make his arrangements. Hence he speedily opened the subject. > * "I have much of importance to tell you, and we must be where Capt. Brand may not intrude. Suppose I get a nice vehicle with a quiet animal and we can go to take a look at the suburbs of Antwerp." Arline did not hesitate. She knew that she could trust this frank-faced."gentleman with her Very life if need be. So she quickly agreed-- to his plan, •in fifteen mrmitee, then; and be sure you wrap.up well," said Charlie, hastening away to secure just the outfit that would suit his idea as to the right thing. True to his promise, he was back In good time. Near the'parlor CharMe ran across Brand, who greeted him rather effusively, he thought, and would have detained nimV only that the y6ung man refused to be held up, and laughinglypleaded an engagement with he w^ihed to keep a secret a nttle l longet The story was .done. ArUne had hung on his words eagefa, and hia assurance that Baron Peterhoff would take care of Capt. Brand, discovering the truth with regard to his claims, and relieve her of his presence—if, as Charlie suspected, the other proved to be an_arrant imposter— was comforting to her ^troubled heart. StlU Lady Arline showed no signs of nervousness. " "perhaps I may shock you, Mr. Stuart-r-perhaps you have such strict npjions_of honesty and a name upon which there has never been a stain, that you will hardly be as pleased to look upon me in the light of a sister when I confess that I have a relative in wnom I am deeply concerned, and who has broken the law of his native land—who took what was not his own and fted. In plain language, Mr. Stuart, my cousin betrayed a trust and stole money." She was scarlet with shame as she turned her blue eyes appealingly toward him. vLet me tell you as briefly as I can. I knew him quite well. He was younger, and a son of my father's only brother, now long Since dead. We were good friends up to the time he took this false step, and I was the last one he saw before he fled from England. Poor boy, if he had only confided in me, I could have easily settled the matter, which I did aoon afterward, at any rate. "I have been searching since last October; at times the trail would grow warm, and then I lost sight of him completely. "By mere accident a friend wrote me* that she believed she had seen him in Antwerp; though he had not answered her smile 4hd nod. I could very well understand why. since he. believed the officers from London were looking for him.

He opened the first hfepopbegoftS butchery, In the Place dltalia. ia 18*6. It was the siege of Paris that caused the flesh of horses to be regarded as a positive delicacy. That was thirty-two years ago. How has the notion progressed since? Paris has now 290 shops where they sell the meat; all are prospering, l a s t year 30,000 horses were, slaughtered and eaten. Rouen, Toulouse, Lille, Orleans, have all taken to horse eating. The meat is cheaper than beef.

Thus it came about that, after running the gauntlet fn this way, Charlie was at length given the proud.pleasure of driving away with the fair gtrl. Charlie knew it was only proper for him to open the ball with an account of the strange things that had befallen him since last he said Rood night. One thing he Intended keeping to himself for the present, and this was the name of the young fellow who had been his companion in the dungeon. At least there was no necessity of bringing it forward until he had heard what she wished to tell him, and discovered if his suspicions were confirmed. "Now that there is no longer a chance of our being overheard, I'm going to make an awful confession to you, Lady Arline," he said. She turned a startled face toward him, and, immediately seeing the quizzical smile, felt relieved. "I shall fortify myself to hear it. Pray proceed." "Where do you think I passed the nightr She believed she could account for a fair portion of it, but confessed her ignorance ^as ^o the remainder.

In truth, I have seen him face to face." "Here—in Antwerp?" eagerly. "In this city." "And you can take me to him? You will, Mr. Stuart?" laying a hand upon his arm. "If you so desire; but that will necessitate a long journey—across the sea, in fact." "Then he has returned to England?" "No; to America—New York.** "How very strangely it all came about!" she mused. "Almost incredible! Indeed, 1 should have been loth to believe such things could be possible if I had not gone through the experience myself." Everything had now been told, so that there was no more secrets. The rest of the ride was occupied in enjoying the features of the scenery, in so far as these points could be discovered from a vehicle. And CHarne's mind was made up ere they returned to the Hotel de la Paix that, God willing, he would, serve and win this peerless girl. The curiosity of Artemus had been whetted to a degree that demanded satisfaction, else his peace of mind was forever gone. He asked many questions regarding .Aleck. Evidently the young fellow had aroused the strongest interest In his mind, for he saw in him-the elements of a strong character that.must atern and one glance from her bewitching eyes charms them even as the rattlesnake does its prey." "Your advice is good. I had intended depending on my own ability to checkmate this old reprobate; and, on the whole, it may be best for me to keep my hand at the plow." "And HI stand-by; ready to give what aid I may. Don't hesitate to call on Artemus Barnaby if you are bent upon Borne dark and desperate business that stands for the right. You know I have some sort of a claim upon this affair, seeing that only for my pertinacity in dragging you on that wild goose chase in search of the new Man in the Iron Mask, of whom old wives in Antwerp gossip, you would never have gone there to the dungeons of the Steen, and ergo, would never have had the pleasure ol saving Lady Arline from her distressing position." The words of his companion aroused within Charlie a sense of the great debt he owed Artemus, who bad., been an instrument in the bands of Fate to bring about the result upon which his whole future now seemed to hinge. So he seized his hand and squeezed it with fraternal zeal—squeezed it until the owner was fain to appeal for mercy. "Yes, I owe you everything, my dear fellow; and if I can at any tm*e do you a favor, try me. There are few things I could refuse you." After that there was the fullest confidence between these two. Charlie . confided to Artemus his plans for routing the enemy, and was glad to adopt some very bright and sagacious ideas advanced by the latter. Everything seemed as usual. Yet fillet of beef, it only coats a franc if you take horse. The animal that was eaten the other day with such eclat had a singular history. It won several steeplechases At Auteuil and Boia-Colombes.

Keen-eyed man of the world that this great traveler was, he read the writing on the wall, and it plainly declared his reign had neared its end. Hence he detested Charlie with a venom such as could only be compared with the enraged cobra, seeking to bury its poisoned fangs in the object of its hatred. In brief, this* fine old plotter began to cast about him for some method by means of which he could get rid of Mr. Charlie Stuart, either temporarily or for all time. He was not alone in his scheming. Other harpies there were who hoped to share in the glorious plunder—men whose past lives no doubt could possibly show almost as great a variety of adventure and bold schemes as his own. Accordingly these precious worthies laid their heads together in order to devise some brilliant scheme whereby the obnoxious interloper—this young Lochinvar who had come out of the west—might be defeated ere he could carry the girl oft on his fleet steed. And when the conference was adjourned, it had all been arranged just how Charlie was to be dropped out of sight. However, these worthies in planning so neat a campaign failed to take into consideration several elements which had a positive bearing upon the ultimate outcome. There was the baron, for example. Besides—there was Artemus.

Then when the watering is discontinued for any reason the roots dry out much more quickly than if they had not been watered at all.

From the Farmers' Review: I would say that according to my observation the house, or English, sparrow is increasing not only-tabu^ also-outsideof— the towns. It has become established in large colonies along the neighborhood in which I now live, and I have also made similar observations near Elmhurst, HI. It seems to limit its nestlhg to the neighborhood of ^rms, or at least to roadsides. I have not observed it in the fields or woods. It» food being chiefly derived from the road, it naturally prefers to keep near !t. A3 to its harmfulness to agriculture I should say that it is more indirect than direct It drives away more useful species of birds, not so much by direct opposition as by preoccupying the ground. Its food is composed of insects to but a snail degree. It 13 therefore virtually a useless bird to man. To eradicate It, however, seems to me to be an almost impossible feat. Bounties have proven worse than useless, as much money was expended by the state, and many of our useful sparrows were destroyed by mistake.—Ellen Drummond well, Lake county, Illinois.

Recently the entomologists of Montana, Idaho, Washington and Oregon met to formulate plans for suppressing the injurious insects that infest those states. It is probably the beginning of much co-operation in this matter. \ s It has been, the authorities in each state have been doing what they could under considerable difficulties. Thl* conference was called to enable the entomologists *to talk over their" various problems together. Doubtless this, nlone added nfuch to their ability to take effective measures against the insects. This is especially necessary in the case of such insect* a* the Codling moth, which has not yet got a firm foothold in the states earned. Without doubt all of our state* could ftnA much in common for suefcjjonferences.

S a c n r Lo«;is!«Uo».— The president has removed uncertalnty as to'his attitude on the Cuban ret me proposition by frankly telling the friends of reciprocity that he will veto any rebate bill that way bo passed. Wni. Aiden Smith, speaking for house Republican Insurgents, notified Senator Spooner to-duy that tr he's counting on his 20 per cent reciprocity bill passing the house without a provision for reducing the duty on refined sugar, he will be disappointed. He ussured Spooner that Republican house insurgents and Democrats are united as determinedly ns when they defeated tho ways and means- proposition. "Let the senate puss the house bill, snld Wm. Alden, "which makes reeiprocity contingent upon Cuba adoptlug our immigration aud coutract labor hfws. Cuba probably would not accept these laws, but in that case responsibility for there being no reciprocity would<be with tb^.jCuliaiisJheiuselves. That's the way we insurgents now view the matter." T b u r b e r ' s T e s t i m o n y . Beet sugar members of both branches of congress are in high glee over tho testimony of F. B. Thurber before the senate committee on Cuban affairs Wednesday, which they are sure establishes the fact that not only the sugar trust, but the^ Cuban government, by the authority of Gen. Wood, put up money to create a sentiment throughout the country in favor of reciprocity. There Is a saying that Thurber's unwilling testimony, as they call it, resulted in positively scandalous things. It would be the essence x>f gall,—so—they arc pimJ_aiin_Iu_si_J[or_ the administration to press reciprocity in the face of the showing. None are more jubilant than the Michigan delegation. Thurber is known as an agent of the sugar trust, and though several times notified to come to Washington and appear before the committee he did so only when threatened with arrest. BASE BALL.

They kept them there till they fermented :and then they all got drunk. That's just what was the matter of them cows." The logic of this explanation appealed to the local vetefiharles7 s a d they agreed as to the cause of the jag Undoubtedly this explanation is the correct one, as the cows have been all right ever since.—New York Sun. —Fifteen fine Jersey cows—utr Whitney Point Stock Farm went on a disgraceful spree last Monday and almost frightened the men in charge of them out of their wits. For a long time no one knew just what was the matter with the cows, They went reeling across the fields like a lot of drunken soldiers, rolling their eyes, and every once in a while giving vent to the most hideous howls. Wben_ they got tired they either leaned against one another or against' the fences, and that was the way the men found them when they screwed up enough courage to go out in the field and~ investigate-; A hurpy call was sent1 to Binghamton for a veterinary, because there was such unmistakable signs of suffering on the part of the cows that the men thought they were poisoned. When the veterinary took a look at the cows he was puzzled. They were glassy-eyed aud tired. Those that had fallen asleep, were, sleeping so soundly that they couldn't be waked up even with a pitchfork. The local veterinaries were called in to assist the man from Binghamton, and th3 three sat up with the cows all night long. The next morning the cows appeared to be all right. True, most of them looked a trifle ashamed, but on the whole they seemed in fair shape and quite ready to go back to eating grass and making milk.

BEAT REDSKIN GAMBLER ? / t H o w «L W h i t e M a n ' s L u c k y D r a w La.id O u t C h a m p i o n A ^ Indiein P l a y e r . ^ "There may be citizens in Deadwood who remember Buck Joseph," said the man with the taper Augers as he permitted a smile to lurk around the corners of his mouth. "Buck was a fullfledged Sioux Indian, but he had learned a thing or two in his time. One of 'em was how to play poker, and another was how to hold the best hand. He was early on the ground at Deadwood and he was a winner from the start. "There were some pretty slick gamblers hanging out there in the old day3. They believed a good deal in luck, but a good deal more in fingering the card3. None of them had Buck Joseph's sleight-'Of-hand, however. They tried him on time and again, and they worked all the arts known to the profession, but he was still ahead of the game. As a last resort they sent over to Abilene, Kan. for me. I'm not going to say what I was doing over there, but the boys who knew me best were ready to bet 2 to 1 that I downed Buck at his own game. "When I reached Deadwood," continued the narrator, "I Lad $800 in cash with me. Old Lo came up smiling with an equal amount and we sat down for an all-day tea party. I started out as square as a dot, depending on luck alone, and I had lost $500 before I made a change. Then I went in for nothing less than flushes, and inside of an hour I got my money back. Buck knew I was beating him at his own game, and he laid for me. On one of his deals he got four aces and I knew it. I got king, queen and jack of diamonds, and it was $20 to come in. "I drew a long breath and chipped and drew two cards to his one. My heart thumped as I found a ten and nine of diamonds in my hand—a straight flush. Of course, Buck knew there was only one hand higher than his, and he came for me with bets of $50. He had friends to borrow from and so had I, and when he finally called me we had $4,000 in cash on the table, and he had three ponies two squaws and five papooses up against my watch and pin. He was getting ready to yell when I showed my hand. His yell died away, and he sat there like a stone man for five long minutes. Then he slowly rose up, gathered his blanket around him, and as he walked out of the place he said: "'Humph! Heap smart white man! Heap ass Injun!' " Beautiful St. Pierre ilk SOME IMPRESSIONS OF AN OBSERVING VISITOR. MADE A B E F O R E THE RECENT CATACLYSM. t i %¥¥¥¥¥¥*¥¥¥¥* tic. All through the city there seemed to be an air of gayety and abandon. "St. Pierre was located in a small indenture in the shore line and its houses were queer affairs which seemed like a lot of fancy blocks piled up against the side of the mountain. Many of the houses were whitewashed or painted some very light color. They were all short buildings of quaint French architecture. Nobody worked in St. Pierro any more than was .necessary. There were music and dancing everywhere, and the immorality of the city will probably lead many people to suggest that judgment haa been brought down upon the ill-fated city." —Washington P o s t "St. Pierre was one of the most picturesque little cities in the world. I spent a few hours there once and shall never forget the gay appearance it presented," said Capt. John A. Hassell of New York yesterday at the St. Jame3 Hotel. "The women of St. Pierre dressed more gayly than in any other part of the world I ever visited. They wore many colors, and, strangely enough, combined them quite harmoniously. "There was practically no harbor at St. Pierre, and the ships anchored a short distance out at sea. As soon as our vessel came within hailing distance of St. Pierre a number of small boats would set out from shore. They were filled with women dressed in gaudy colors and carrying fruits, which they offered to the passengers. I remember that many of the women had cocoanuts from which the ends had been removed. Part of the milk had been poureu from the fruit and replaced by rum. Cocoanuts prepared in that way are quite delicious and in great demand with travelers. "Few of the people in St. Pierre were pure black. The negroes who were originally in the island, the Malays who were brought there to serve as slaves, and the French and other white people who located there, intermarried so freely that most of the inhabitants showed only a trace of the negro blood. The women "were quite dark, but had good features, and many of them were quite handsome. Their cTothlttg wafc *tery trnUsual. On their heads they wore scarfs of bright colors and their gowns were very fanUs- P»n»m« Bats to B« Popular. The Panama hat is to be the thing, and a man who wears a rough straw hat cannot hope for recognition. Moreover, colored hat bands are no longer In favor. An exception in favor of college men wearing colored, hat bauds is made. The cut of clothes has not changed much from the styles of last summer. Tan and russet shoes will not be popular because they are too cheap. They may be tolerated in the country, but not in the city. The black boot is the thing,—New York Sua. Purity opens.the way to a world of gladness. Marriage is often a failure because neither of the interested parties has sense enough to take an occasional vacation. «*? ^MtitoiUm+m i iiiikL i i i ^ y ^ ^ ^ i ' ^ j ' i t o i i j j i !

Charlie bowed politely. The count e t s gave him a look of curiosity and one .of her ravishing smiles. So she passed out of his life—lucky man,' The sight of Charlie recalled to the baron's mind the promise he had made with regard to Capt. Brand. Accordingly ha took advantage of his £ r s t hour off to set the wlrea in motion, and learn certain facts ragarding the worthy- captain: Charlie, relying on the baron to corral the captain, had made arrangements for sailing upon the next trans- Atlahtic steamer. He had engaged passage for Arline, her companion, Artemus and himself. The captain, having patd^a- nran"ta keep upen Stuart's track, found out what was in the wind. He teamed that the crisis had arrived. Whatever he proposed doing must be put through with all possible speed, since* ere, many hours elapseji, t h o s i against whcitf his so%e$aefc v^sre directed would be upon the sea, and, mayhap, beyenfrhrs reach'.* f ' «•' Artemus had heard enouih to know the three schemers were planning to do his friend an evil turn, but, strain his cars a3 he*would, he had netbe3u ablp to catch the* particulars of the gained owing to certain sounds in the hotel that muffled even the held voices of Captain Brand's champagne-bibbing friends. All he could do was to warn Stuart en general principles, and it can be set down as an assured fact that he carried cut this dramatic little episode quits to the queen's ta3te. It would not have been Artemus otherwise. Charlie promised to keei) his wor.ther eye open for squalls. He hoped his early departure from Antwerp would serve to entirely disconceit the beggarly plans of his enemies, and leave the fellow in th* lurch. About this time there was considerable hustling being done among the various forces circling around Arline 13rand, just as the planets whirl about their central sun. The baron tried to drive from his mind the startling phantoms that had been conjured into being by the mysterious power -of Isolde, Countess of Brabant, and, as this could only be done by means -of work, he gave himself up t o t h e mission of the hour with redoubled zeal. It was really a question what the scramble would result in—whether Charlie or t h e redoubtable captain would come out of it in creditable shape, and how Artemus mi-ghi fare in the shuffle. Lady Arline "had an interview with lier alleged papa, during which she announced her determination of crossing the Atlantic on business, and that she had provided liberally for him during her absence, as he would find upon applying in person t o her "banker in London. The 'interview was possibly net devoid of dramatic features. Artemus was on guard near by, and heard the old sea dog blustering more or less in his usual way. But he had evidently lost much of the power he formerly possessed over "Lady Arline. He came forth from the rooms looking Uka? an « 1 raged hyena, because 'diplomacy bad forced him l o bottle up ;hta wrath. TO Artemus Charlie delegated the ta6k of seeing Lady Arline and her xnaid aboard t h e ocean greyhound, where ho would jofrn theao later. It' was urgfet again. Time and tide watt for no man, and ocean steamers fcav« t o putt out very frequently a t unreasonable hours, in order to cross t h e bar on the flood. The baron and Csfrtain Brand played a s a m e of cros*-Tmrpx>se8, as lit were, tor, while the ex-sailor shadowed Charlie with' intensions that were both dark a a c desperate, he was, at the same Una, under the surveillance of Peterboff* s emissary—the baron himself being too busily employed catering to the comfort of his fair prisoner—In reality his captor-—to personally Inject bis Individuality into the game. Captain Brand knew he was followed; and perhaps could give a rough ( n e t s a s to the why and wherefore. But it w u not his nature to be despondent He believed in utlirlng whatever came in h i t way a* one of t h e forces Caat might bring ssjecass. , Wften a man can thus twist threatening diaaatert Into fafpring factors placency—for at his side would be Lady Arline; and left behind as a memory of the dead past, such persons as the professor and his wife, Baron Peterhoff, Isolde, Countess Brabant, and Captain Brand of the Hespasia. He Intended giving Capt. Brand the full worth of his money^ and then, by a fluke, dropping him in some section of old Antwerp, while he himself took a fly and drove to the landing stage in time to catch the steamer. Perhaps this might have been carried out had circumstances not united to arrange events in the captain's favor. Charlie had his fun. He dragged his persistent pursuer ever a good part of Antwerp—now they were on foot and anon chasing in vehicles at a pace to set the staid old burghers agog with surprise and consternation. Outside a dsslre to have a little spcrt with his friend, the captain, his sole purpose in leading Brand this wild-geese chase was to keep his attention upon himself, while Lady Arline and Arteniu3 left the hotel; for somehow Charlie had a vague fear lest the resourceful ex-sailor might use L.force to prevent his supposed daughter frcm departing, advancing some daring pica that har mind was affected and having hired experts, who would perhaps decree that she should be incarcerated in an asylum. These things might appsar ridicu- 4 loii3, but such happenings have coma to pass ere new, and he chanced to | have p?"*Gsal knowledge cf at least ere similar case. Whether or not Charlie were foolisli i in thug1 conjuring up phantoms that cculd net e:;ist, was a question that should net be decided hastily. He believed Brand to be a desperate man. against whom he could as yet hardly appeal to the law, since Arline would net give her consent. He was convinced that Brand did net desire the heiress to get beyond his reach, and would hardly hesitate at any end in order to hold her until his sinister plans could b2 worked out. Hence it was. after all, in a spirit of self-sacrifice that Charlie undertook to have a little fun with Capt. Brand, and led him this fine chase up and down the crook ad streets of Antwerp All would have been well but lor two cronies of Brand. They chanced to be standing at a dark corner where the ether had agreed to meet th?m. and. hearing bis signals, sprang upon Charlie ere he comprehended his danger. As a result he was struck senseless by a blow from some blunt weapon. When Capt. Brand arrived en the scene his first act was to sprinkle a powdery white pigment in the young man's hair, to give him the appear ance of age, and to smear his face with a little street dirt in order to disguise his features. Then, for the benefit of the man whem he knew hovered near by, a little one-act drama was carried out, the two men chasing Brand hither and yen—then, ae the baron's spy came in sight, two men running away, while a form lay on the street. It worked like" a charm. The emissary of Barcn Peterhoff hastened up as people began to open the windows of houses to learn what the disturbance mifrht mean. There he found one who appeared to be the eld fellow he had been set to watch. The man called a vehicle, placed the limp figure in its interior, entered himself, and then started to report t h e ' astonishing result of his espionage to Baron Peterhoff himself. While Capt. Brand, rejoining his confreres down the shady street. se( off in hot haste to get aboard the steamer, which, in another hour or so. would be moving down the River Sheldt, bound for the far-off distant shores of America. Artemus stood on the hurricane deck of the great Red D ocsan liner and looked back in the morning sunlight to the distant and fast-receding coast of Belgium. Homeward bound! There is always a pleasure In this thought and Artemus experienced it with enthusiasm. So far as he knew, Charlie's plans had progressed all right, the ogre was left behind, lamenting in the land of the Belgians, and clear sailing seemed ahead. Then his thoughts ran back to the events of the previous night He chuckled to remember the adroitness with which he had seen Lady Arline, her companion and their luggage on board the waiting steamer, while Charlie was leading the ogre a wild-goose chase around Antwerp, partly to amuse himself and a t the same time keep Brand occupied up to near the sailing time. By t h e way, where was Charlie? It was strange that he failed to show up in time to see ths test of Belgium's shores. Lady Arline and he? companion ware.walking- thfl dark with jersey and golf cape to keep oft the stinging chill. "Ill go and arouse t h e sluggard," said Artemus to himself. "His little jaunt about town must have worn him out—not the first case of its kind, I rather guess/' with a sinister lear at his w i t —So he went below. The door of Charlie's stateroom was just opposite his own—a single step across the little passage. As he approached he heard tin sounds of loud snoring from within. On the spur of the moment he decided to arouse his friend with a sudden shout, or by the advent of a convenient shoe tossed across the little room. Artemus had never wholly outgrown his college days, .when he gained the reputation of being the champion practical joker of his class So he quietly opened the door, which was conveniently unlocked. Through the bull's-eye windows enough of the morning light crept to allow a fair survey of the miniature apartment. One.of ths first things Artemus saw was a shoe that had been tossed aside. As he seized upon it eagerly, he failed to note its generous proportions as contrasted with the neat footgear which Charlie Stuart affected—such trifles do not impress themselves upon the mind when weightier things arc demanding recognition. Now for a center shot. He turned his attention to the lower berth, which was occupied by a human form. Just then the nasal sounds came tp a sudden step with a savage snort, and the sleeper whirled over on his side. Th3 act brought his face directly within range of the morning light that struggled thrcugh the small openings bey cud. No wender Artemus crouched there ~.s if frozen. • - Talk about the magic touch of the geni! . When had such a wonderful transformation ever taken place before? For cue to retire as Prince Charlie Stuart, gay, handsome and debonair, to awaken in the guise of grim and grizzled eld Captain Brand was a mystery that almost paralyzed the seeker after sensations. Artemus took cne last fearsome look at the smooth and red physiognomy of the sleeper, passed out, and then softly closed the door. Only when safe within his own room did he give vent to his over-wrought feelings in a whistle. "Great Jupiter! That beats everything I ever saw. Instead of Charlie —the ogre! What does it mean? There is treachery afloat. I seem to detect it in th? very air around. But the question arises, where is Charlie? And shall I have to take his place as her warrior bold, and will it be necessary for me to give up my liberty?'' Poor fellow! He did net know whether to look on it as a huge joke oV a grim reality. He thought of warning Arline; she ought to know her dear papa was oh beard, and that he had refused to break the paternal bonds that had be come so very strong since his return frcm exile. Artemus buckled on his armor. If he was to be pitted against the old ogre, it would be a pretty fight. Capt. Brand might have succeeded in outwitting Charlie, who was tco frank for deep diplomacy, but he would find it quite ancther thing when he ran up against the new knight who had shied his caster into the ring. ... Ah! A sentle tap at the dcor. Artemus almost fell over himself in his eagerness to open a satchel and clutch a little affair cf steel and nickel which he carried there, and armec* with which he called: , "Ccrae!" f The door opened and a figure whisked in, immadiately closing the same again. Artemus gave a cry—the half-raised arm fell useless at his side. There was more witchery. He had expected the old ogre, armed with a shoe, and bent upon turning the tables upon him. Instead he saw—why, Charlie, of course, though at first Artemus reckoned it his ghost! Charlie, with a finger pressed mysteriously on his lips, a la Artemus' favorite style of' communicating a secret, and his face wreathed in what appeared to be a broad grin. At any rate, Barnaby was delighted to see him in the flesh, and as soon as he could get his wits into thinking order he dropped the weapon and held oat an eager band. "This is a treat, my dear boy—after seeing that grim old Trojan in your bunk. What have ycu done? Brought him aboard a prisoner. I reckon? Ah! I didn't give you enough credit, I fear. You see, my first impression was he had outwitted you and turned the tables on you." Artemus was boiling over with curiosity regarding what had taken place ashore* especially when his friend declared, with a wry face, that Capt Brand had indeed come near proving too much for him. The story was seen told. (To be continued.) \ Fot the' Bleb Oaly. ~~TJmU" and "Aunt Melcfcer wi town $o Iny, a .new clock.

A poor man is tempted to borrow money from funds he is bandling, belonging to another, feeling sure he can repay tbe loan next pay day, but he is found out, arrested, convicted, sentenced, in a few short weeks, all because be has no money back of him, or moneyed friends. His wife and children are left to secure the necessities of life in any way she is able. Perhaps she is competed to separate her family that she may be free to clothe and feed herself and clothe her little ones. Many times she must Leglect her children when disease enters her home and she must bear the burden of both sorrow and poverty alone. Then, too, how black are the pages of our dailies in lengthy articles of printed mattei of the rich borrower. For a short time his mental nature is disturbed, because he has been found out, then he comes forth from the darkness which for a few days has, surrounded him, a free being and the journals are proud to slap him on the back and call him a shrewd man.

' Stcry of AUfl, Instrumental In Breaking Up "Knights of the Q16oKld en— C ircle."- 1 t++++~+++++++j+f+++±+- %*AAi • ^ • • - ^ For a third of a century an exile *from his hodfe In Kentucky, through fear of an avenging hand, Felix G. Stidger found mercy at the hands of Judge Kohlsaat at Chicago because of the part he took in breaking up the famous "Knlgftta of the Golden Circle" during the ctVir-war, tntis ; doing the country ah tnvalufcble service. The defendant had pleaded guilty to indictment for writing improper letters to persona in CvawforAsville and Goshen, Ind., and was awaiting son* tence. "This man rendered good service to the cause of the union at a critical time," said District Attorney Bethea, and on this recommendation th8 court suspended a fine which he had imposed. Stidger's service in the war of the rebellion is a part of history. His name is enrolled among the government secret service agents who were detailed in 1864 to learn the plans of this notable organization of southern sympathizers. Stidger says he was followed for two years by a hired assassin, Bob Spruce, and that his life would be in peril if he were to go to Kentucky, his former home, aB surviving members of the "Golden Circle" would kill him. " I served in the United States army from.Oct. 8, 1862, to Feb. 14, 1864," said Stidger, "when I was honorably discharged on a surgeon's certificate of disability, having taken part in the battles of Chaplin Hills, Ky., Stone River and Chickamauga, Lookout; Mountain and Missionary Ridge. May 6, 1864, I was employed by the provost = EMBARRASSED Trt£- CLERGYMAN marshal general of the district of Kentucky, United States army, to learn the designs of the 'Knights of the Golden Circle,' of which Clement Vallan* digham of Ohio, then residing in Canada, was supreme head. \ became grand secretary of the order for the state of Kentucky. The officials revealed to me the exact details of the proposed assembling of members of the order Aug. 16, 1364, for the^purpose of liberating rebel prisoners at Indianapolis, Chicago, Rock Island, Johnson's Island and Louisville. "The plan was also to seize the government arsenals, arm the rebel prisoners, and, together with the members of this organization, put forward a force of 75,000 armed and drilled men for the rebel army in August, 1864. Your own Judgment will tell you that this would have prolonged the civil war at least two years, and added to the cost in treasure and lives. *'I was the Only man to whom the active head of the order in ths United States revealed the plans in detail. To others he gave the detailed instructions in regard to their individual parts. Every move contemplated by the traitors I reported fully to the commandingofficer ofthe UnitedStates force? in Louisville and to Gen. Carrington and Gov. Morton in Indianapolis daily—often hourly. In this service Secretary of War Stanton in an official communication stated that my help had been worth as much to him as any battle that had bean fought during the war." J»i»Ut»r»i MakMhiri AH Btght Cutll ta« Maid Appa»f#4, A distir?guisnpd .Episcopal clergyman was oace called on to* officiate at a fashionable summer resort church, and, finding only a short surplice and no cassock in the vestry, was very much disturbed at tho thought of faav* j= 3NAKE B&OKE UP PICNIC I ing to appear in a vesture that to tho frivolous would look like, a white shirt and trousers. But a happy inspiration came to him. Why not wear one of his wife's black petticoats? The portion that would show below the surplice would look exactly like the regulation cassock, and no one. would ever be the wiser* So he hurriedly sent one of the ushers with an explanatory note to his wife in the hotel, and in the nick of time the petticoat arrived. The makeshift turned out to be a per* feet success, and no one at a distance could tell that he was not wearing a cassock. After the close of the service he decided to go out to the body of the church without taking off his robes, in order to greet some friends. And he was soon the center of a group of fashionable women, when a green Irish maid from the hotel came up, and in a loud voice said to him: "Yer Riverence, the missus slnt me afther her petticoat that ye do be wearln', an' I wus to wait till ye take l#t off.'*—New York Tribune. tier L»v«| B*a4V / MQt W9r*9," he ss 14 to an offhand way, "it goea without saying that a beautiful girl like you must have- had many pffer* of marriage.* ] v tShe blpshed (prettily, and her eyes seemed' to tay "Of course," but she did not answer otherwise.

Mo., Girls. A horrid snako broke up a picnic that was given near Macon, Mo., a few days ago by the Bachelor Maidens' club of Macon county. It was not a real snake either. That was the worst part of it. The reptile was one of the mechanical kind that qsulrm and twist in a manner that would put a real snake to shame. The bachelor maidens might have overlooked th% Jotte and even laughed at it, but for one terrible circumstance —the whole thing was a.plot put up by a photographer. This same came: a artist is charged with having, with malice prepense^ arranged the toy snake so that it would scare tre maidens in order that he might get a snap shot of them while they were having hysterics. . _.v It was during one of the sqsby days of last week that the bachelornialdens decided to execute a long cherished ambition. The director general Issued a call for a spring picnic, and fifteen members of the club responded. Eacn member brought a basket of provisions or something needful. While the women were unpacking luncheons near a stream they discovered something that caused them to shiver with horror. Across the creek was a big, rude man in a flannel shirt and with a disgusting pipe in his mouth. He had a package under his arm. They told him to "scat" and he grinned and moved on. Then the work of unpacking was resumed. The Bachelorissimo labored earnestly with a huge jar which was supposed to contain ginger. Finally she loosened the lid, but just as she was removing it a big snake jumped out and ffopped out among the viands, sizzling and hissing like an engine. The bachelor maidens tore off yard upon yard of agonizing shrieks, and their cries brought the rude man upon the scene. He picked up the snake and then guffawed. "Why, it ain't real, at all," he said. "Very well, then," snapped the Bachelorissimo, "you may go about your business." The man left, but after he had departed one of the maidens found a card bearing the name of a photographer, and they are positive he had the snake put in the jar and took a picture of them when it jumped out. They are now looking with nervous apprehension for a picture illustrating the clubs first outing. > — — 1 — 9 — % 9 — • DOQS LIKE THEIR MASTERS 1 Association Causes the Brute to Imitate the Human Being 9 Who Owns It. One of the most curious traits to be found in the animal nature, said an observant citizen, is that which grows out of tho unconscious imitativenc :s of creatures of * the lower order. I have observed many instances of where the creatures of a lower order have taken on the; characteristics in some noticeable degree of members of the human faintly. "One might know, foMsPtance, 'Are- beggar's Tiog, just from the look of. the^dog^ from the droopjp* flie eyerie t # ; paretic hang, of tSre Mpi and I certalrJi-general air nOfc. despondency and hopelessness which seem to speak in the very nature of the animal. 1 mention the beggar's dog because it is a familiar example. The beggar* dog never IOOKS cheerful, never smiles, nor frolics, but simply aits 'l$r »hif master and. broods, and begs f » | j 4 ^ y e r . chadtft may give. I have seen the dog character molded under happier Influences and the dog become more cheerful. He was a light-hearted, free-and-easy sort of creature and seemed to get something of toe sunnier side of things. I am almost te4»fitedJto .say that if you will show mo a man's dog I will ieU~ you what manner of•man'the owner if, with particular reference to temperament and his moods. The melancholy man, the man who grovels mentally along the gloomier grooves; the pessimistic man, who Is always looking at the dark tide of the picture, all the men who come within these unhappy classifications rarely own a cheerful dog. The dog unconsciously takes to the ways of his master, and in his moods Imitates the master's way of thinking. But turn to the dog of the jolly, cheerful fellow. Watch him show his teeth in laughter when the master approaches. He is darting across the yard ana dancing and frisking around the master's feet in the happiest way imaginable, but he 13 up to all kinds of pranks and does all kinds of little things to indicate the good nature that is in him. He does as his master does and seems to take the same general view of life. These are small things, I guess, but they snow just how important one's actions are in life. Even one's way of thinking may influence one's dog and change his whole view of life. Couldn't Straighten Up. Breed, Wis., June 16th.—Charles F. Peterson of this place, Justice of the Peace for OcontoCounty, tells the following story: "For years I had an aching pain In my back which troubled me very much especially in the morning. "I was almost unable to straighten ray back and the pain was unbearable. "I did not know what it was, but seeing an advertisement of Dodd's Kidney Pills I concluded to try a box. "I can only say that that one box alone has done me more good than anything else ever did. "I feel as well now as^ever I was. "I have recommended Dodd's Kidney Pills to several others, who are using them with good results." Mr. Peterson is a highly respected man and one who would not so positively make a statement unless it was absolutely true. Ifapolaon Bonaparte** Wealth. Napoleon Bonaparte's will, among those of great men, affords the nearest parallel to that of Cecil Rhodes in the fortune it bequeathed. He was surely the richest exile since the world began. From his lonely home at St Helena he bequeathed to his relatives and friends $40,000,000. He had been rich, in gold as in power, beyond the dreams of avarice, and there must have passed through his hands a private fortune such as mortal man has rarely dreamed of. His exactions set down at nearly $375,000,000, which is, after all, but six times multiplying the gift he secured for himself from the Austrian treasury after Austerlitz. He died forty times a millionaire. 335^, •**._: C0M8RESSMAH IffffXTWO. sss. "»'Hf. Says Pe-rwri It a SpIeidM ftiurbal Tonic. . ^ A M * * * * * * a *<fc*a»\ i- Congressman T. T. Fitzpatriek. Hon.

To assist nature, when nature needs assistance, it is all important that tho medicinal agents used should be of the best quality and of known value, and the one remedy which acts most beneficially and pleasantly, as a laxative, is—Syrup of Figs—manufactured by the California Fig Syrup Co. With a proper understanding of the fact that many physical ills are of a transient character and yield promptly to the gentle action of Syrup of Figs, gladness and comfort come to the heart, and if one would remove the torpor aud strain and congestion attendant upon a constipated condition of the system, take Syrup of Figs and enjoy freedom from the aches and pains, the colds and headaches and the depression due to inactivity of the bowels. In case of any organic trouble it is well to consult a competent physician, but when a laxative is required remember that the most permanently gratifying results will follow personal cooperation with the beneficial effects of Syrup of Figs. It is for sale by all reliable druggists. Price fifty cents per bottle. The excellence of Syrup of Figs comes from the beneficial effects of the plants used in the combination and also from the method of manufacture which ensures that perfect purity and uniformity of product essential in a perfect family laxative. All the members of the family from the youngest to the most advanced in years may use it whenever a laxative is needed and share alike in its beneficial effects.

The expansionists carried everything wanted at the big Maccabee in Marquette the past The Barometer Trees of Chileo. One of the most remarkable productions of the Isles of Chileo Is the celebrated "bnrometer tree," which grows In great profusion In all of the salt marshes. It belongs to the naturrl order euphorbiaceee, and is believed to b<- a near relative of SIphonia elastica, tbr» India rubber tree of Brazil. The wonderful traits of this tree were first made known to white men in 1881, the natives informing the De Young company that both the leaves and the bark of the trees were never failing weather prognostiuators.. In dry weather thtr%arte of this natural barometer is as smooth and white as that of a sycamore, but with the near approach of storms these characteristics vanish like magic. Twenty-four hours before a storm breaks over the little Island the trunk of every tree of the species turns ns black as ebony, save a few scattered patches of carmine, these latter markings being supposed to foretell great electrical disturbance. The leaves, too, which in their normal state hang laterally (as they do on all American trees), drop edgewise and tremble like things endowed with animal life and reason. A Queer Animal of Maiavucar. One of the most peculiar members of the great family of the mammals Is the aye-aye of Madagascar. In form it much resembles a squirrel, in size it is equal to a large cat, and it is so shy, stealthy and ghostlilefe in its movements that the natives think it is a kind of spirit and regard it w-ith superstitious dread. It is related to the lemurs, but it differs from them in many points. Its most remarkable peculiarity consists in the middle finger of its hands, which, instead of resembling the others, is, as Mr. Richard Lydekker says, "extremely thin and spiderlike." Living in the silent forests, the aye-aye possesses extraordinary acuteness of hearing and apparently can locate by" the sounds It makes in the trunks of trees the wood boring larva) on~whicn it feeds; ChTs^~ eling away the wood with Its teeth, the aye-aye inserts its remarkable middle finger to fork out its victims. week.

We know that in Shakespenre,'s day, say A. D. 1GQ0,. sixpence a day was a fortune for nny workingman, say the equivalent of £10 per annum. A century earlier, boforo the access to America was open to English explorers, one of th» Arck'iis of Warwickshire left an annuity of 40 shillings per annum to a younger son, probably the poet's greatgrandunclo. Then if sixpence a day would now be the equivalent of 20: shillings a week then 40 shillings per) annum would equate to £120 of present values.—Notes and Queries. ^WkenrYourWm 4 4 * 4 Is Ready Your Feet Are Light."

A SOLOMON ON T H E BENCH. Novel Reasons a Philadelphia Judge Has for Extending Clemency. Magistrate Cuningham of the central police court of Philadelphia is sometimes a little eccentric in the punishment of those hauled before him for misdemeanors. The other day Bill Jones, who had been found upon the public highway minus the faculty of navigation, was arraigned before him. "Married or single?" asked the magistrate. "Single, sir," replied the shaking culprit. "You ought to get married. If you had a wife and family to occupy your attention you would have no desire to drink," said the magistrate. "I'll discharge you, but I hope you'll give to matrimony more thought than you have to liquor." John Smith, who had also been arrested for being intoxicated, was next called. "Married or single, John?" queried the magistrate. "Married, your honor," was the prisoner's reply. "Then you have no business getting drunk. Drinking should be done by single men who have no family to require their attention and cash. You all this talk about the need of free art In the United States?

It may be the hobo doesn't know whether it is four nails or four tent stakes he is to drive, but he confidently answers, "Sure thing! Had a job driving four last month at —," (any one of the ten thousand places he has been to, so he can answer questions if the boss is inclined to put them), and the next morning, finding the "four" he is to drive are horses, he confidentially approaches a fellow-employe with, "Say, Bud, show me how to put the harness on the plugs, will you?" Asked If he knew how to make watches or dynamite cartridges he would doubtless say he did; he might fail at either, but he would not weakly deny himself an opportunity to try.

Ryan, the capitalist, when engaged in any engrossing conversation, has a habit of tearing sheets of paper Into small pieces. A few days ago a reporter noticed Mr. Ryan slow ly covering the floor with scraps of paper from a pad on his desk, while he talked on financial affairs. Secretly the reporter removed the pad, and, when Mr. Ryan had dropped the last scrap out oi his hand, there was a sudden break in the thread of his conversation. His hand had begun to search for the pad, much to the detriment of his wits. He halted continually in making his statement, and was not able to finish the interview to his satisfaction until the reporter slipped tte paper back to its usual place. It was immediately pounced upon by Mr. Ryan's wandering fingers, says the New York Times, and the halting conversation went on uninterruptedly to a successful ending. Knew What Chaos Meant.

(Copyright, 19Q2, by Daily Slots rub. Co.) Paul Marnok, who loved Claudia Vanaleter, was a young lawyer of Bmlthrflle, Smith county, Iowa. Liko other young lawyers, he wore bis hair something longer than fashion demanded, brushed it straight back to •sow his forehead, practiced oraiory_&_ good deal and had dreams of the United States Congress, Ho was of good habits and in good practice, though with an inborn tendency to be erratic, and felt himself well at 1^ to marry. James Bowen, who loved Claudia Vanalster, was commonly called* "Jim," which is to say that he was freckled, sturdy, straightforward and good-humored. He^owned his lather's farm, ran It on too diversified cropn system, loved animal^ drove a good horse and had money in the bask. Very open and unwtly was "Jim." Ho did not-expect to T;ln_thc girl, toat .wcood btrin hit own earnest fashion and if .she preferred another he was prepared to wish her joy and get over his trouble in the best way he could. Claudia Vanalster, who loved neither of them—or, if she did, knew nothing about it—was daughter of aTmerchant, gray-eyed, peach-cheeked: plump, graceful, pretty, good, and fond of admiration. She was a graduate of the Bnosvllle Young Ladies' Seminary, played the piano a little, painted a little, knew a little needlework, spoke French with the Enosville accent and was quite the county belle. So "Jim" Bowen asked her bashfully if be might drive her to the Fourth of July speechmaking and picnic in Jack- Bon's grove, and she said no, while Marrock. who was chief orator of tho day, girded up his loins and strove mightily, being determined to shake down the stars. The elders of Smith county celebrated the Fourth of July in the old-fashioned way. Patriotism was as ram- --paat-out thero as it_hadbeen in the older sections of the country fifty years before. They had no use for new-fangled methods of rejoicing. What their fathers had believed was good enough for them. They appointed a regular committee to see that the thing was properly done. Thus It happened that in Jackson's grove a large lumber s..and was erected on which the elders might sit, the county trustees, the village trustees, the school trustees, the county judge, the clerk of the court, the schoolmaster and so forth. Item—there was a smaller stand for the Smlthville band, which was strong and earnest, though a little crude. Item—an open space in the front of the big stand reserved for the readers and speakers. Item—a larger stand to the right, reserved for t i e young ladies who should impersonate the States. Item—a large space on the ground to one side reserved for the fire-crr.ckers.catharine wheels and what not. Long rough beards laid on trestles served as tables for the diners. There was any quantity of spring vvater, ginger pop and coffee as potables, but no whisky nor beer. Smithvlllc was a moral community. It was a eIoudles3 nay. A thousand people were In the grove. From far down the dirt road came the oompah, oom-pah.of. the laboring band. As it grew nearer an occasional bar of "The Star-Spangled Baunor" became audible. Behind it rode the dignitaries in open carriages, most of them with grizzled whiskers,. ..showing the yellowish stains of tobacco-juice. Back of them came the principal feature of the procession, three farm wagons metamorphosed into triumphal chariots by the aid of red, whke and blue calico aud flowers and filled with forty-four gaily dressed.young women Impersonating the commonwealths of this glorious Union. They were flushed with the ride arid in more than one instance their rtiadems nad been jarred crooked, but were happy and proud. In their front was Claudia in a gown cut a la Greek, holding a sceptre and wearing a pasteboard crown golden gilt and bearirg a papier-mache shield. She was "Columbia." Behind the wagons at a slow pace came the faithful James in his buggy. The grove reeched, the band climbed to its stand, tao dignitaries to the center platform, the girls to their platform. Tho band's leader puffed out his chest, faced the gaping crowd, swung his baton and the instruments crashed into "My Country, *Tis of Thee," half a tone flat.' The people plunged into the tune haif a tone sharp. Tne trees trembled, but did not fall. The folks liked their singing so much that-lhev. encored, tue. band and T rf-n^Jiat. '•f H»e<wwtffcs «ng the last verse over again. Aleibiades Curtius Dickson, county -clerk, a lantern-jawed man with a voice Sike a foghorn, read ,t£e Declaration of Independence through to the bitter -end, rolling out the sonorous syllables and pausing soulfully at the end of <each sentence. EJlphalet Absolorn Rawlins, county judge, rose to introduce the orator of the day, and spoke for three-quarters of an hour, touching xrpon Bunker H..I and the state ol the crops, tossing a handful of bouquets tto Geo ego Washington and Thojna* Jefferson, devoting five minutes of thunderous denunciation to Benedict Arnold and winding up with a glorious burst over tho result of the Spanish war. Marrok rau his fingers through his hair and glared at him. Finally he got his chance. Now this young man in the seclusion of his law office had been reading a lot of cheap literature and worrying himself by thinking that he was thinking. The result was that his skull had become filled with a lot of thlrge that he thought were ideas and he felt called upon to express <hem. Once started he did not reek ct unpopularity and forgot all about the girl. His talk was fiery, fluent, occasionally eloquent. When he got out of breath be ran his hand through his hair and took a drink of water from a small white pitcher that stood near. ' He said that they had sold their birthright for a mess of pottage; that the Money Devil had them by the throats; that the rich were getting richer .and the poor poorer; that their legislators were bought; that discontent gnawed at the vitals of the land; that a conscienceless aristocracy of wealth had grown tip; that republican simplicity was at a discount; whither were they drifting? They were drifting to revolution. What would be its end? Possibly a king; possibly anarchy; certainly bloodshed, death and woe. There was a large amount of this.- The talk would not have been out of place tn some obscure beer hall in a big d t y . Out there in the country, with green leaves waving, the scent of flowers on the air and an honest country population listening, it sounded horribly incongruous. The people heard it quietly. Probably they did not understand more than half of it, Marrok sat down. 4n dead silence, sweaty, pale and gasping. Claudia sat with hands clasped in her lap, looking down, heartily ashamed. "Jim" Bowen, near the stand, his face white with passion, followed the sentences carefully. He, too, had forgotten the girl. He knew that tils every sentiment had been outraged. Next to his belief in God was his belief in the flag which floated over him. Scarce knowing what he did, he rah to the platform steps, mounted them in leaps and showeu before the people, his wide white hat in his ri^ht hand. He did not know until he faced them what he should say, but was determined to say something. He said, 'vithout heat and clearly, almost wltU solemity: "My friends—You know me. I'm just one of you. I want to sj)eak for you more than for myself. I want to say for you that this man here is a liar, or crazy. I think he is crazy. We are seventy-five millions of people. We believe in our past, present and future. We honor our lathers for what they have done; we stand ready to do the san:c if occasion should arise. In pestilence, privation, war and death we have erected the greatest government under the sun, in the best land under the sun, and that government shall stand as an example to mankind for ages.

"Secretary Cortelyou and the secret service officials arrange all kindt of plans to prevent President Roosevelt exposing himself in public too much." said a White House policeman, "but he knocks ail their plans in the head when they least expect it. When he is about to start away on a trip the White House landau is always brought up to the door, closed. President Mc- Kinley generally preferred to ride In a closed vehicle.

One of the pupils acto_:.§JM the subject the attendant* taking turns playing the role of the condemned. Hanging consists not merely in placing a man over a trap door and launching him into space by releasing a bolt. There are various nice preliminaries to be gone through. First the condemned must be artistically pinioned. Then he must be supported on his way to the scaffold in order to avoid painful scenes. After that there is the rope- to be adjusted quickly and without fumbling, In order that the agony may not be prolonged on the scaffold. The rope must be strong enough to bear the weight of the condemned, but not so thick as to slowly choke the condemned to death. Particularly Oat. The old colored man had grown gray in service. He had almost become the custodian of the family secrets, as he was of the family silver. The married daughter, who lived in a distant town, had come home for a visit. Callers were coming all day Jong, and old Pompey was kept busy opening the door and receiving the visitors. One bright morning the ladies of the family went out for a drive. Just after they left the bell rang, and Pompey recognized in the caller a former dear girl friend of his young married mistress. "Are the ladies in, Pompey?" said the young lady. "No, ma'am, they'se all out, ma'am," responded the old retainer. "I am so sorry I missed them," replied the visitor, handing in her card. "I particularly wanted to see Mrs. Bell." "Yes, ma'am, thank ye ma'am. They'se all out, ma'am and Mrs. Bell is particularly out, ma'am," was the reply that greeted her hearing as the visitor opened the gate and the front door closed. The Secret of Health In Old Age. Shepherd, 111., June 23d.—Sarah B. Rowe of this place is now 72 years of age and just at the present time is enjoying much better health than she has for over 20 years. Her explanation of this is as follows; "For many years past I have been troubled constantly with severe Kidney Trouble, my urine would scald and burn when passing, and I was very miserable. "I am 72 years of age and never expected to get anything to cure me, but I heard_of_JPodd's Kidney Pills and thought it would do me no harm to try them. "I am very glad I did so, for they cured me of the Kidney Disease and stopped all the scalding sensations when passing the urine. "I feel better how than I have for twenty years." day. and every time he walks out on the portico and sees the landau closed he gives orders to have it opened. He waits until that is done and then gets in and rides down the avenue, or wherever he is going, without any obstruction whatever to his view. He often outwits the detectives by getting away for walks or drives without their being any, the wiser or without their being able to follow him. He doesn't tell anybody that he is going out, and the first the secret service man around the White House knows is when he sees the president swinging off down the walks on-his—way outof the grounds." Not Ready to Make Up. They had been having a discussion concerning the necessity or otherwise of purchasing a new silk dress in order to be on a level with the De Moneys next door. Banks had vetoed the purchase on the ground of extravagance and want of funds, and his wife was much put out. "Dinner ready, my dear?" he asked, in his most conciliatory manner. Her *face had been like a stale thunderstorm ever since the disagreement, and Banks wanted to change it. "Yes," answered Mrs. B—, shortly. "Must try again," said Banks to himself. Then aloud: "Ab, I am glad of that, my love. I have what the poets would call 'an aching void,' Sarah." "You often suffer from headache," she returned in a cutting tone. Banks drew his chair up to the table with unnecessary noise, and retrained from further attempts at conciliation ior the rest of the day.— Stray Stories. Mad Dog Scare at Kenosha.

Cadogan Morgan was the first elec trlclan to experiment with electric light in solid bodies. This was in 17S5. He first inserted two wires into a stick of wood and caused the spark to pass between them. This had the effect of il luminating the stick a beautiful blood red. An ivory ball, an orange or an apple may be lighted in the same manner. Some experimenters prefer the lemon for this purpose, it being very susceptible to the electric discharge, flashing forth at every spark as a spheroid of i brilliant golden light. The wires used for this purpose should be brought within about half an inch of each othor inside the lemon. '.. 4. Spring Fever. Spring fever is another name for biliousness. It is more serious than most people think. A torpid liver and inactive bowels mean a poi?onep system. If neglected, serious illness may follow such symptoms.

Playing it must seem like work now. mSEWS OEJICHIOI I /VMWWMWM**UVMVM^^^AA*t'*^^^^MMVMVWMM*M^^^A»*< Every week as the summer advances the lawn mower pushes Jheayjeri j _ t _ j s t h e nature of the machine, The alleged gigantic British shipping combination turns out to be nothing but an echo from this side of the water. Samuel L. Clemens, LL. D., is the way to write it now. The gentleman, however, will continue to answer to Mark Twain, Many paupers have lived to be a hvndred years old, but there is no record of a millionaire having attained that age.

Andrew Carnegie .has been presented with the freedom of t i e Plumpers' Association of London. We did not know that Mr. Carnegie was as rich as that. It is in order to remind the young King of Spain that if he is going to restore the greatness of his kingdom he should not waste any time talking about it. Philanthropists who have recommended cold cures to an ungrateful world are now busy telling auout sure death remedies for the annual mos (;uito plague. Musolino, the notorious Italian bandit, has been sentenced to prison for life. Paradoxical as it may seem, this permits of the query, How long will he stay there? There is a man at Hanlonton, la., whose name is August Vainkingelstemhausenklotzer, which seems altogether too long a surname for August —or even June. Edgar Williams, a telegraph operator at Indianapolis, is a grandfather at the age of 39. This is another evidence of the arrival of the young man and strenuosity. News is cabled from London that J.

The fact that many of the most distinguished pickpockets of the world are present at the coronation ol King Edward adds a human interest touch to the otherwise awe-inspiring program. A man has been sentenced to jail for one year for stealing a pair of shoes worth $2. On this basis how long should a banker stay in jail who has been sentenced for stealing thourands of dollars? Somebody has discovered that there are thirty distinct varieties of the kiss smacking their way around the world, and the enumeration does not appear to include those on the Ella Wheeler Wilcox list.

It happened that Charlie discovered Capt. Brand jja. the smoking saloon in time to keep beyond the range of his vision. To Charlie's astonlshr.ient, when Brand tcck a ncticn to retire, he blundered into the wrong statsrocm. which chanced to bo the one that had been assigned to Stuart. This might.have besn deep deaign; but, after carefully considering it from all cides, Charlie folt disposed to call it an accident. He fcund rest in another room which the steward cpened for him. And now here they were, with an elephant en their hands, so to speak, bound to ccme into daily and hourly contact with the strange man whom •they 3trongly suspected, and with good reason, cf bcins a most stup2ndous fraud. CIIAI'TKT: xr. Off Fire Island Light. Charlie had written from Antwerp to certain quarters in London, from which he might expect to receive positive information regarding Captain Draad. He had done this to satisfy Arline. So far as he himself was concerned his mind was already made up most positively. ' If Brand was surprised to see Charlie en board, he gave no evidence of it. He concocted some affecting story, which ho spun in Arline's ears, and with such success that he actually gained a little of his former ascendency in her mind, since she was haunted by doubts wnich it seemed impossible to dispel. Artemus amused himself studying the old mariner. He even played a few games with him in the smokingrocm, where men of all degrees are socially inclined. Captain Brand was the same as of yore. The tales he spun of his wonderful adventures in the African deserts were weird enough to take one's breath away. Artemus listened, almost charmed; and his interest grew apace until one day it struck him that the personal adventures which the captain so modestly ascribed to himself had a somewhat musty flavor, as became ancient chestnuts. This aroused suspicion. Artemus set about an investigation. Lo and behold, upon secretly looking into the captain's Btateroom, while the gentleman was holding forth among his cronies above, Artemus discovered a well-thumbed volume of "Adventures and Explorations in the Dark Contin- The captain^ secret was out. For once he had carelessly omitted to keep the source of his knowledge under lock and key. Artemus borrowed the volume Aand took copious notes, intending to have a little fun a«. Brand's expense from time to time. He took occasion to relate all this to Charlie, who, in turn, told Lady Arline. Strange that even this new and blackening evidence could not wholly convince her. Filial love must have had a strong hold indeed upon the ten- 4er heart of tat* girl who had from **~ 2 cbffdhoed Jtaow* oo UttleJoi parental affection. Hn« even invented excuses for him —a deaire to »*• in print the map of the country where he had so long been a prtaoner, and to have his recollection or names revived. The voyage was on the whole, a storm/ one, but to Charlie it ended all too soon. A a fhoy ngaraA »hA ahnfftfl of America the old captain seemed to lose a goodly portion of his loquacity, and became unusually reserved. Artemus flattered himself that he was the main cause of this collapse but Charlie was rather inclined to be* Ueve Capt. Brand had' Started in to work up some new scheme looking to the acquisition and sequestration of his daughter's gold. Charlie hoped to discover how this fellow—whom he believed he had known as Capt Kledge, and Artemus pretended was a third-rate actor named Frederick Davenport Macauley —had ever come into possession of the facts connected with Capt. Brand of the lost ship Hespasia. The fog hung about them exasperat- Ingly, and the monotonous hoarsethroated whistle kept up its warning notes until they were close to Fire Island Light, when suddenly the vapor gave way and the shore of Long Island ajjpeared^ln_vlew, already showing the first signs of spring. Charlie had perfected what few arrangements remained. They would all go direct to the old Windsor, and there await the coming of Aleck, when an interview between him and Arline must result in happiness all around. = m <~- It seemed simple_enoiighT~yeT^one of them for an instant suspected what tremendous things awaited them in this magnificent capital of the New World, or the forces which might yet be arrayed against thsm through the energy and scheming of the man who wculd net accept defeat. Here, then, the last dramatic scene was to be placed. Hare Charlie was to win his bride, or lose her forever— in this city of restless energy, of wonderful buildings and unequaled magnificence, Charlie and his enemy would come face to face for the last time. Heaven be on the side of the right and strengthen the arm of this warrior bold who dared all in defense cf what was innocent and true. Capt. Brand had almost reached the end of his rope, and would doubtless husband the remainder of his resources lor one last desperate, masterful stroke by which he would win or lose all. r As usual, there was the customs trial to be passed through, but when the gantlet had been successfully run they were free. The great and wonderful city stretched before them. To Arline it was all new, and the sights that were strange to her eyes sho found to be numerous, from the lofty buildings to the electric cars that dashed along at an apparently reckless speed. Capt. Brand accepted everything philosophically. He had seen the world; his checkered career had embraced every clime, and the startling events that had fallen to his share would have laid the foundation for a very fair second edition of Munchausen or the'Arabian Nights. Arline was deeply concerned about wayward Aleck,' whom she had not seen in so long a time. His whole future was at stake. If she missed him now, all might be lest. Yes. this had been wearing upon her mind so long now that it affected her nerves. There may have been something more, which neither of them suspected— a premonition of the startling events destined to take place in their experience; for some minds seem gifted with an almost supernatural power to anticipate coming changes, even as the mercury in the barometer's tube indicates a change in the weather hours before it occurs. Taking a carriage, they were all speedily located at the reliable old Windsor. Upon inquiry Charlie learned that seme one had called for him only the day before, and he was constrained to believe it must be the young fellow who had been his companion in the, Antwerp jail, and whose escape had rivaled that of Monte Cristo. This was good news. He had left word he would call again, so that all they had to do was to leave . a message for him at the desk, and await developments. Arline was not recovered from the effect of the voyage; at least, she was in no humor for sight-seeing until this long-anticipated interview with her half-brother were over. So she kept hfer room much of the time. When the so-called Capt. Brand set foot again in New York, he faced new dangers. There were those upon the Rialto, actors of greater or lesser degree, who must have had dealings with Frederick Davenport Macauley during the palmy days of yore, when he played his little part in the drama, and manfully plod his way, footsore and weary, over the railway ties back to New York after an unsuccessful tour of the provinces. - " ' Sonne of these worthies could he depended on to recognize their old-cornrade of those halcyon flays, despite the" ra<Ve**< change jree*erity might have m*de in his personal appearance and bearing. . . . ..- - ; Thus evening Vouad tbWn.? : Charlie had the pleasure of dining with Lady Arline. •iHe^xerted himself *o cneerlier up. Several time's she seemed to temporarily threw off the strange stupor that had settled upon her spirits, and for a short period appeared to be her old self, when, by degrees, the melancholy crept hack again. "To-morrow," said Charlie, when she was leaving hjm to go to her rooms, "I hope we will have Aleck here with us, and then all must be well. Tou can dismiss doubts and fears, to be happy once more." "Yob will forgive my fooliah fancies. You are always so cheerful and kind," she murmured, while be was holding and ardently squeezing her hand, perhaps quite unconsciously. "Until to-morrow, then," "Shall I see you at breakfast?" he asked, eagerly. "If I am feeling quite will; surely at dinner." He was forced to be content. So he watched her, his soul in his eyes, as she walked to the elevator. Was there ever a more queenly girl than Lady Arline; one with a greater share of beauty concentrated in face, figure and mind? Ere the elevator car shot toward the upper realms she waved her hand to irim-andgave-him-a-ravlshing-smile And that smile haunted him a long time, for it was the last time he was fated to look upon her face until— destiny had been utterly fulfilled, the drama carried to its concluding scene, most terrible of all. Sauntering into the rotunda of the hotel Charlie lighted a weed and then began to remember there were others in the world besides himself and Arline Brand. Where was Artemus for instance? And Capt. Brand? Who had now been ashore long enough to get his bearings and figure on some desperate move. Perhaps it wculd be best, as his good sense suggested, to seek assistance in outwitting the great schemer. f Clever minds could be controlled for money, detectives who were able to cope with even such a remarkable scoundrel as he conceived this man to be, and who would speedily put him on his back in the first round. And yet the wretched result of his arrangement with the great Baron Peterhoff aror sed serious doubts in his mind. If the fascinating presence of a woman could so upset a sagacious master of finesse and diplomacy, who could be trusted? There was apparently time. Brand would hardly get his columns in motion under a day or two. Charlie could be governed by circumstances and the trend of events. Besides, there was Artemus, whose wits were of the brightest, and who might be depended on, to accomplish more than a little, looking toward the exposure of the great fraud. These soothing reflections came in some degree through the influence of the magic weed, for to its devoted votaries tobacco seems to be an incense which creates optimists where only pessimism had previously reigned. And of course our Charlie contemplated with more or less complacency the high degree of happiness that would be his portion when the blessed time arrived for him to claim Arline Brand as his own darling wife, with no one, not even a haunting memory of the buried past, to say him nay. He had figured it all out. and decided that -he would make full and free confession regarding his one forlorn e-xperienc? in Cupid's realms. No doubt Charlie took considerable pleasure in speculating upon the various ways in which he might bring these important matters to a focus, but never once did he dream of the wonderful and fearful event by means of which the desired end would be swiftly attained. Again and again he looked toward the Fifth avenue entrance as the door swung behind new comers, but Artemus remained only conspicuous by his absence. Could anything have happened: would the bold and reckless Capt. Brand .begin operations by lopping off the limbs of the tree he meant to fell? It made him deucedly uncomfortable to even consider such a calamity. s Surely some tremendous catastrophe was brooding over himself and his fortunes, or could it be he was partaking of Arlines' slow spirits? Was his cigar to blame? Ah! a change was on the tapis, for ther* came Artemus bustling in from th# outside night air. (To be continued.) [MISTAKES MAOE_BY^ BRJEPDER8 OF CATTL&r We have been wondering what would happen in the vegetable kingdom were farmers and horticulturists U> habitually use immature seed and stock or, in other words, whether degeneration would to any degree follow such practice. In the animal world it is at least certain that this kind of thing cannot be done yea? after year In a general way without weakening stock. If each year in a herd of swine or flock of sheep the immature females are mated with Immature males it must be that after a few years the entire stock is reduced in point of size and strength and productiveness to the average or composite characteristics of the breeding stock used. It would seem reasonable to expect that where immature heifers are bred to yearling bulls that the size of the dairy animals upon the farm will decrease and that their productiveness may also be reduced to that of the average heifer. In swine the common plan of breeding seems to be to use as breeding stock the new crop of females from the spring litters just as soon as they can be bred, and when we remember that these-females In many Instances-are . We must be as careful to koe; friends as to make them. The affections should not be mere "tents of a night." Friendship gives no privilege to make ourselves disagreeable. —Lord Avebury. not fed nitrogenous foods It is the easier understood that the results in the way of pigs can hardly be satisfactory. The breeding stock employed is unfinished—not fully grown, not properly nourished to produce bone and muscle and constitutional vigor. Can we reasonably expect perfect results from such mating? Will not all be brought to the level of the quality, constitution and characteristics of the stock mated? We think that this surely will be the effect in time—that it has been the effect already and that the effect has not been desirabfe. Why turn away the young ewe ov sow after she has bred once or twice and before she is really mature? Her progeny 13 as good as one can expect from such an animal and will unquestionably improve as she matures. Why not let her mature then and retain her as a breeder just as long as she remains healthy and fertile? Wc have seen a Clydesdale mare at thirtyone years of age with a fine colt at foot and were told that she had rarely missed a season since first bred, and had produced fully as good colts after she had become fully matured. W« remember also that the famous Clydesdale stallion Prince of Wales (673) made his greatest success as a breeder after he had become somewhat aged. It may be that he had then better mares as mates, but it is also' probable at least that his own breeding qualities had improved. We have seen many instances where the old brcof? sow was away ahead of the young sows of even better blood when it came to a comparison of numbers of pigs produced in a litter and quality of pigs produced. Such animals should by all means be retained as breeders just as long as possible and receive at all times an abundance 0 nitrogenous food to maintain them perfectly and enable them to nourish their progeny perfectly before an-3 after birth. The best females should be bred yearly and immature stock should not preponderate in the herd or flock, nor should immature males be habitually used. At the same time it Is a plain error to continue using a bull when he has become slow and decrepit. When his powers are waning his progeny may lack constitutional strength and if such progeny be employed for breeding purposes their progeny in turn may show degeneracy. !Like produces like" and good individual character and constitution are absolutely necessary as well as pedigree Mere pedigree without corresponding merit, as indicated, is useless in out opinion, and where poor Individual, sood-pedigreed males are also immature and mated to females of the same sort we can only expect further de- ;eneracy In the progeny. The moral of what we have been pointing out is plain, that it is important to fully grow animals by complete feeding upon an abundance of nitrogenous, natural foods and then to breed only such animals as are worthy representatives of their family and have arrived at a fully mature age in the best of health and vigor. It would be especially good for the swine industry were this plan of breeding more generally followed hand in hand with the method of feeding indicated. A CHAWOf TO * A * l HOITCV.
