"Where are you bound to, gentlemen?" said the Earl. "To the devil, I fear!" answered Pope. "Clear that stuff up," continued he, addressing the cabin man, "and put fiddles upon the table." The supper was ended. Crystal, with a bottle of champagne in his head, withdrew to his narrow couch. Pope said: "I little thought this humble cabin would have been honored by the presence of so great a nobleman. You are doubtless fatigued after the events of the day; would your lordship like to withdraw?" "Where am I to sleep?" says the Earl, with a start, revolving his great nose slowly in a survey of the plain interior. "There," answered Pope, pointing, "is a comfortable little berth—your lordship is an old soldier—a bolster and a blanket -" Lord Fitzgibbon waved his hand, upon which Pope, strangely enough for the first time, took notice of a very handsome ring. "My lord," says the captain with a change of face, "I must trouble you to give me that ring." It seemed for a moment as though the Earl would expostulate, then with such a countenance as one might conceive on a judge who by some scurvy transition of fortune is convicted by the felon he should have sentenced, he drew off the splendid ruby, and Captain Pope with a bow put it in his pocket. "See to his lordship's wants," said Pope to the cabin servant; "that's his berth," and he went on deck. "Where are the schooner's people?" he asked. "Some are below in the 'tweendecks," was the answer. Some, including the lord's valet, **You shall be sent home," said Pope. •massed in the forepart.

"On an empty stomach, as I reckon, the bloomed cuss had taken in half a pint of gin, forced to it by the good nature of our men. This set him abusin' of our call in' and I hope his left eye ain't been quenched." "Did he make a good stand?" "As good as a man can make agin five too many, himself mucked up with liquor." "He shall join us if he is a fighter," said Pope, "and we'll send John adrift. I want more men." Crystal had been in charge from midnight till four. He was now turned in again, bravely snoring to the melody of the tiller ropes, and the ugly devil' Grlhdal walked the deck. When the dawn broke he turned his gaze astern, and the first sight he beheld was a large'ship full-robed to the very height of her main-royal. "Good thunder! A Yankee," says the boatswain; he had the most interpacttug eye for a ship khft ever villain winked. She was coming up hand over fist, a noble sight las her stitfess sails, sweetly 'shadowed, soft as penciling at their leeohes,,; ay the growing light in the tiftst, ^wefled like yearning breasts oag-sbwve an* other, bowing stately t o eacfl white leap of water which blew in mist from the thrust of the. ateav blackening the canvas .forward.

He read some'further intent in the tall and handsome pirated face and his brows gathered Into a bush over his great nose. They could not walk that staggering, bounding deck, and- a little before breakfast Captain Pope, grasping the Ear) by the arm to steady him, conducted him into the cabin. Ho re they were joined by Crystal. "You took a ring from me yesterday," said the Earl, at which saying Crystal glared. "It la an heirloom, and I treasure it. Will you suffer/me to purchase it from you? I will write an order upon my bankers for a hundred guineas." "For two hundred it shall be yours," said Captain Pope. The Earl bowed. Piracy was oh stilts this windy morning. "What ring are ye talking of?" says Crystal jealously. Pope pulled it out of his waistcoat pocket, and said: "Give it to his lordship when you have examined it." "This is worth three hundred guineas," says Crystal, with greed in his eyes, while his strong jaws chewed like a bull's. Pope said nothing, and my lord, receiving the ring from Crystal, pocketed it. "Who are your bankers, ray lord?" said Pope, after a short silence. The Earl, faintly smiling, answered, "Child's." "I will at once." continued Pope, in his most affable manner, "explain Captain Crystal's and my intentions toward your lordship and your people. Such of your crew as will not join us will be transferred to the first vessel that will take them; but it is our intention to keep you v/ith. us for the present, and to part with you only on condition that you give us a draft for two thousand guineas for your liberty." "You shall have my draft," cried the poor old gentleman, suddenly losing his self-contro>; "but I implore you, for God's sake, not to detain me •long in this miserable and terrifying situation." "You shall be sent home," said Pope, 'and we two captains will trust the eloquent Earl Fitzgibbon up to the very hilt as a man of the strictest honor." The old nobleman bowed his white head with a gesture of dignity mingled with indignation and grief. This extraordinary conversation then terminated. . Wfben Captaip Pepe < went on> d*ck he found the breeze moderating, and, after searching the sea with his eye, he ordered the boatswain t& make ; sail, • Then, standing at the main rigging, and looking at the people in the forepart, Pope spied the skipper o f the schooner. The man's left eye was black, his face showed signs of his having been savagely knuckled, and one arm was slung in a piece of rope round his neck. Pope roared out: "Send the captain and crew of the schooner aftr'— Tht Way to 8ueesss. , From Farmers'Review: The lesson the worM's most eminent and successful men hare taught us most forcibly la the Importance of enthusiastic effort The accomplishment of , any given object in life 1B based largely upon how intently we are taken up with its importance. ,Our hearts must be in our avocation. He who wills to do with his whole heart, conquers or dies in the attempt Too much of what the world has seen fit to designate as pastime or pleasure enters into our everyday existence. Its presence can be traced to every man's daily activities. Each successive duty we perform has its degree of earnestness or indifference. The poultryman who takes the details of his business to bed with him at night and arises with It in mind is not disappointed la his association. Enthusiasm conquers all problems and perplexities and knows no failures. It finds a way or makes one. Ignorance, false theories, mistakes, all are but stepping stones to success to him who wills with enthusiastic zeal. When the breeder of prize fowls puts determination, Intelligence and enthusiasm correctly proportioned into his mating, handling, advertising and exhibiting, something always happens. What happens is success. Where one fails another is successful. Out of the same soil wheat and tares are pro-. duced, from the same family, perhaps, the successful business man and the pauper, the reformer and the drunkard. One presses forward to a definite aim in life with enthusiastic zeal, the other drifts aimlessly here and there on the waves of circumstances. As our lot In life is what we choose to make it, so surely will our poultry operations prove successes or failures in proportion to the amount of earnest zeal and energy there is in evidence. It is from a fancier's point of view that I speak, and a few things I consider of vital importance. You must procure the very best of stock, and select for advertising mediums papers of known large circulation. Make, your advertisements clear and concise. Be sure your have stated convincing facts. When you have received an inquiry for stock or eggs, summon all the common sense, good judgment; business ability and'-tact at your command. You will need them all. to properly handle the inquiry. -Right here is one of the most decisive points in success or failure. Always use good printed* stationery. A catalogue or go«fd blfcujer i s a -help asd^aves an immense amoupt of writing. A good show record is a very great help. All Mtty are endowed,, with a reasonable amount of common-sense and have a liking for the poultry business, and .will press forward with enthusiastic zeal and give it th'err time and aiten tion, will find that success will crown their efforts.—Elmer Gimlin, Christian County, Illinois. - * • ' -^4^, They arrived presently, and made, a group close abaft the mainmast. After a cool and critical survey, during which he molded a cigar withy both hands, Pope sung out: "You look a likely lot; do you know our character?" ' ' The schooner's men made no "'answer, save that one broke into a low satiric grunt of laughter. / * "Ours is a jolly roving life," continued- Pope, while at this moment the Earl came out of the cabin and stood, holding on by the companion, looking and listening. "You were late captain of, the schooner," he continued, taking no nptice of the injuries the man had received; "will you join us— you shall hear the terms " "No, by h—!" roared the skipper. Pope looked in silence with a red face at the livid-eyed master, turned his head with a gesture of withering contempt, and, catching sight of the Earl, called out, "He runs too fast to make a pirate, my lord." "He has a wife and children," answered the Eari, swaying to hia clutch of the companion. "There's a man that should join us," said Pope, pointing with an Ironical forefinger to the valet, who stood among the little crowd, (imp, yellow and shuddering.

One hundred and fifty thousand cows constituting an imtn ase h^rtrtfoTce-^vvfH -diver-t-^ome—of -the that would do honor to any great cattle- range qf the west are engaged the year round in supplying all their milk to the people of Greater New York. More than one million quarts of this fluid -are copsuraed eyery day in the American metropolis. The stream flows, to thiB center from five states - ^ e w ^ York, N e w Jersey, Pennsylvania/ Connecticut and Massachusetts. The mhK Industry in tho largest city of America engages a, capital o^.iprobably sixty million dollars, says Leslie's Weekly. »The territory which supplies New York city with this essential article of food Is divided, in a general way, Into two zones. The boundary of the cuter zone is four hundred miles from the city and tne width o f this zone Is about two hundred and fifty miles. The inner zone is about one hundred miles wide, the outer boun dary being about one hundred and fifty miles from New York, wnile the-, inner boundary is fifty mllos from the same center. The area within fifty ""miles of Manhattan Island produces practically no milk, for this large district Is not pastoral; it is filled with suburban towns, all tributary to the busiest city in the world. In this fifty< miles area there is no room for paattrrefl and cows. And the suburbs of trie city are gradually crowding the dairy district farther and farther away. < inan of the schooner's crev^swotsld "C^aptate^aR^^'JW^a^flvejl t^eEafl, join the piratpB, aud.when. this was [.Orleans and the officers of the Nation' with majeatis fervor, "would it*uot* be ujade clear, Pope swtfhg' on'hU'hesI \\t Nut Growers*'Association to mee Nut Growers to Meet. second annual convention oft Foundation of Dairying. Many people when handttni milk seem to forget that they are dealing with food products, says Prot Wilbur J. Frastr, of the University df Eliaols. There is a tendency for certain unfortunate practices to invade the dairy business. If filth is allowed to get into milk or it becomes tainted at any point of its production', no amount of care either before or after can make amends for the difficulty* A man may be careful and correct in all of his dairy operations but one, and yet this one be the cause of his producing a low grade product. ThlS'one mistake not only injures his product but the dairy market as well. This being true, it is clear that the greatest care should be exercised in every step of production, manufacture and delivery of dairy products to the consumer. Only those dairymen who exercise such care can hope to secure the trade of people who desire a product of superior quality and are willing, to pay an advanced price. The real foundation of the whole dairy business lies in the milk producer. The chief necessity then in improving the dairj, conditions is to give the producer such a knowledge of the right methods of handling and caring for milkjibat he w|ll not only see the ne^esjfliy l$j>r such methods but may also know how best to accomplish this purpose.: r - F . , Gas Content of Milk..^ The elimination of gases from the milk does not necessarily^ m<jan that the milk has been rendered mnrft palatable or more healtafmV but it' does Indicate that with the elimination, of gases, changes'take place which do influence the milk one way or the other. Of course it is easily understood that the gases which have been determined can have only indirectly a bearing upon the fermentations of the milk. The presence of carbon dioxide of oxygen, or residual gases, called usually nitrogen, signifies nothing especially so far as these gases themselves are Involved, but, when we find that the amount of carbon dioxide is greatly diminished as we draw the milk from the udder as we pass it over the aerator, in fact, as we agitate it more or less in the presence of air, farther, as we note at the beginning, the milk In the udder contains no trace of oxygen •but with the milking process the amount of oxygen greatly Increases, as when the milk is treated as recited, under carbon dioxide, the oxygen continues to increase in amount, and too, as we notice the changes in the amount of the residual gas, we can readily understand that there are marked alterations going on in the milk as it passes through the various manipulations of the dairy.—Prof. C. E. Marshall. Quiet and Milk Secretion. As the milk glands are under direct control of the nervous system, any conditions which af!ect the nervous system, will react upon the milk-producing glands. Any undue disturbance of the normal distribution of the nervous bloodsupply from the milk glands to some other part of the body and thus diminish the milk flow. The well known phenomenon of "not giving down' the milk Is the result ol lack of ncr'/ous tone in the gland brought about by some sort of excitement. The rdder is not a container in which the milk is ready stored up at milking iime, but an organ in which, as has already been pointed out, the greater pa,rt of the milk is elaborated'wm^"milking or suckling is in progress by/ virtue of the agitation produced. TJnlesa the cow is in perfect repose thfir Secretion will not take place normally. The lesson to be derived from this is ttiat the cow should be treated With the ufiatest gentleness and be- otherwise kept free from excitement, especlallyfdurlng the time of milking or suckling.---J.

The greatest depth at which underground water can exist is estimated* to be about six miles. Below that, it is believed, the cavities and pores of the rook are completely closed. The amount of water in the earth's crust is reckoned at nearly a third of that contained in the oceans, so that it would cover the whole surface of the globe to a depth of from 3,000 to 3,500 feet. The waters underground flow horizontally after sinkintr below the unsaturated zone ot the rocks, but in the sands of the Dakota formation, which supply remarkable artesian weHs. the motion does not exceed one or two miles a year. The underflow toward the sea beneath the groat plains may sometimes take the form of broad streams or moving sheets of water, but the movement is excessively slow.—Youth's Companion.

Then the reoords were made on tin foil and it was impossible to preserve them. Later the recording was done on wax and by delicate handling the records were good for considerable service. Today the records are perfect, being molded from hard wax. With proper handling they will last for years. The Columbia Phonograph Co. is turning out first olass graphophones so cheap that no family oan afford to do without the pleasure and satisfaction of owning one. The writer has had one in Lis family three years and looks upon it now as a necessity ratbur than a luxury.

And flies for a web well spread. The women editors should not overlook that story concerning the man who talked himself to death. French assassins are now close rt vals of French duelists in bloodthirstlness. They hurl the deadly tomato. Those persons who don't like U n d o Russell Sage may as well cultivate a spirit of resignation. He is here to stay. Honduras is showing signs of another revolution. Now, how many days ago was the last Honduras revolution? While the newspapers are quoting Russell Sage at 87, uncle Russell is Just bullish enough to believe he is going to 100. King Edward appears not to have kissed the blarney stone while in Ire* land, but perhaps it was because he didn't need to. The uprising of Unpaid veterans in Eastern Cuba has been harrowed down to four men and the person who started the story. Over in China the graduate, instead of stopping to throw out hints as to how—the world should be ran, starts for the nearest woods. That Chicago thief who was held by the neck until the police arrived did not need to be told that his captor's name was Mrs. Huske. It is learned that the latest Central American "revolution" started because a general got drunk. This is a more reasonable cause than usually appears. The same boy who is taught to believe that the drumstick is the best part of the turkey, grows up to imagine that his wife always gives in to him. Russia is not entirely satisfied with an apology this time. Turkey will have to do something more, or the sublimity of its Porte will get a serious jar. When Tsi An goes into a Chinese newspaper office to ask the editor "If he wrote that" it is generally considered to be a bad day for the editing business. If all revolutionists in Latin America fought to a finish as in Vence;ela, the business of breaking up a government in that part of the world would be less popular. Being a reformer in China is such a perilous job that the man who undertakes the part ha&_ia loak.Jji._the glass every morning to see if his h»*jd is still on. It is said that 10,500,000 people are employed on the farms of America. Nobody appears to be able t o explain why they have not gone to the charms of flat life in the cities. The editor of Punch, Sir Francis Burnand, will publish in October "Reminiscences of My Life." It will show that to get out an English humorous publication every week is no Joke. According to Prof. Zueblin we are a people that multiply our bath tubs and the need for them at the same time. But then this is not quite so bad as leaving out the bath tubs altogether. The news that another Mayflower descendant is dead was read with great interest by hundreds of New Englandere who are themselves descendants of Mayflower passengers and don't know it. These must be great days for the teachers' agencies.

It was the fieudish deed of a pervert aud the vk-tltn an innocent lad of 4¾ years named Alphouse Wclmes, The littlo fellow had been playing about home in the early afternoon, but nothing is known of his movements after that time. His mutilated body wus found Tuesday morning showing the perpetration of a crime horrible almost beyond belief. The little corpse was found among a pile of molding boxes on the commons back and east of the Michigan stove works plant. The child's dark blue knee trousers were pulled down, his rv?d-striped shirt pulled up. the waist opened and his white undershirt cut from top to bottom and soaked with the little one's life blood. A long piece of copper wire was tied around his right wrist so tightly as to cut deep Into the flesh. An old red handkerchief, a bandana,. was forced down his throat so completely as to leave osly a very small end exposed and to render it difficult to remove it. The injuries inflicted, however, were appalling. One could liot gaze upon them without the strongest feeling of repulsion toward the i>en>etrator and of uumeasurabie pity for the little victim of so dastardly a crime. The Nrw "Normal. "Decatur is the only towu which stands a show of getting the new $40,- 000 normal school," said Henry Russel, chief counsel of the Michigan Central Railroad (?o.

Estimates by conservative lumbermen show that the days of lumbering in the upper peninsula will soon be past. Before ttve years have passed there will be- practically no timber left standing in Baraga, Houghton and Keweenaw counties large enough to make a log. Menominee county, which about ten years ago was the largest lumber producing district in the world, has lost Its rank and now produces scarcely a tenth of its former amount. The mjlji which were located there liavV been moved to Louisiana and Washington. Baraga has timber enough to keep its few mills running for a few years more, but like all the other parts of the state where lumbering has been carried on its end is near. Every season makes the timber tracts of Houghton county smaller. Tw^ Boya Koaated. James Budd and Eugene Moss, youug sons of Jos. Budd and Andrew Moss, of Saginaw, climbed an electric light tower Thursday ulght, aud were caught by the feed wire, charged with a current of 22,000 volts. A cltisen who saw their bodies writhing telephoned to the lighting plant, and the curreut supply lug the whole of the west side was shut off. A patrol wagon with u detail of officers and several linemen arrived, and the bodies were lowered with ropes. The clothing of both boys had nlmost all beeu burue* off and their flesh was roasted so that it presented a sickening sight. A Political Salary. Jeseph M. Weiss, of Detroit, is preparing to press a claim for $7,025 against the estate of the late Senator McMillan, with whom he was closely identified In a political way for years. According to the statement presented to the commissioners on claims against the estate the amount named represents a balance due him for four years' services dating from July 1, 1803, to July 1, 1807, at an agreed compensation of $3,000 per year. The statement shows that Weiss received, "by payment from time to time," $4,975. The commiasloners turned the claim down. Becently Weiss filed notice of an appeal from the decision and is now preparing to prosecute his claim in the circuit court where it can be reviewed by a Jury. A aether Bad Draft. The estate of the late State Oil Inspector Wm. Judson can now be added to the long list of victims of Fraak ('. Andrews, the Detroit bank wrecker, tfiat'rfbftie interested people are persuading Gov. Bliss to release from Jackson. Before the failure of the Oity Savings bank, of Detroit, one of Judson's deputies bought- a draft at that bank and turned It Into the state treasury to settle an Recount. The failure of the bank made the draft worthless, and now the *tate treasurer will file a claim with the administrators of the Judson estate for the amount. Salt Saved Her. Miss Pearl Courtemansh, of Sagaufng, six miles southeast of Standish, owes her life to the fact that an Indian carried salt with him while out berrying. She was picRing berries and was bitten by a poisonous snake. Before she coufd get out of the Held the. became unconscious. An Indian who was also berrying found her. He divined the cause of her condition and by liberal administrations nnd applications of salt succeeded in restoring her.

Girls don't begin to fall In love till they see men or pictures of them. A- woman classifies the bank cashier who watches her overdrawn account along with her dentist. It's very unreasonable of a girl to get mad with a man when he wants to kiss her, but doesn't get a chance.— New York Press.

"** r / Colombia Rejects Canal T r e a t y . A cablegram dated August 12 has been received at the state department from Minister Beaupre at Bogota, saying that the Panama canal treaty has been rejected unanimously by the Colombian senate! President Roosevelt was immediately advised of the news. Very little additional Information concerning the action of the Colombian senate could be obtained at the state department. The information in the cablegram was meager and there was no Intimation whether the treaty might not again be brought up for consideration. Section 4 of the Istbmian canal act provides that should the president be unable to obtain a satisfactory title to the property of the new Panama Canal Company aud control of the necessary territory and the rights necessary to the. construct ton of the canal from the republic of Colombia, he shall make the necessary treaties with Costa Rica and Nicaragua and proceed with the construction of a canal by the Nlcrtragwn route. It will be impossible for President Marroquin to again submit the treaty to the Colombian congress in its present form. The senate having rejected it, the treaty cannot again come befere; that body except by the senate's own: vote.

T h e Prassur* Craw Are Transferred. Notfcfaff log-wortky i a a narrative of incident and excitement happened t n i s day- Tne weather was moderate .and t h e brie rolled with Foaming cutwater toward that spot of ocean where Captain Pope hoped to fall in w i t h t h e 8panish ahip from Cadiz, the Madre de, Dios. At sunrise a seaman on the forey a r d . reported a sail almost right ahead about a point o n t h e starboard •bow. Crystal was working away with t h e glass when Pope caxee on deck. * "Anything; good for a s there, d'ye think. Crystal?" says Pope, in a voice of sudden elation. .'* "She's the Madre,** answered Crystal. «TU tell you her atory, Pope: The crew from t h e s t a r t knew that an &ngliBh pirate was o n iier track, and they mutinied, butchered the officers and made off with your fifteen thousand pounds." "Ha, ha, ha!** laughed Pope, again bringing his glass t o bear upon the vessel ahead. Indeed Crystal was rarely humorous. In about three-quarters of an hour the Gypsy was within easy sight of the forlorn green craft. "What is that ship, gentlemen?" said Lord Fitzgibbon, stepping out of t h e companion-way. "She seems to be an abandoned ship," answered Pope, giving the Karl one of his politest bows. He then said to Crystal: "Arm yourselves and go on board of her, sir. with eight men. Thoroughly overhaul Ler and report all that may be good for u s . " Crystal struck t h e ship a t her mixsen channel plates, and all but one, left to tend the boat as she rode to her scope of painter, scrambled over the tall green aide. They were armed, respectability and emotion which somewhat astonished the men, who witnessed, on a sudden in this scarred disfigured seaman, the expression of an honest, sturdy British merchant captain. It was a quickly-fading fhost, and the looks of the privateersman reappeared in Crystal, as he rounded from the body. "Search the cabins," he shouted, "and beat* a hand." In the course of about half an hour Crystal put off from the abandoned ship, and arrived on feoard the brig. He went up to Pope and his report was to this effect: Her manifest and papers were in Portuguese, and hs could make nothing of them. "She'll be from the West Indies," said Pope, looking toward her. "From Demerara, I believe." "From Demerara going for London. Dismasted in a heavy squall. Abandoned by all hands, who left behind them a little dead child with a silver crucifix upon its breast. That's how I read her story," says Crystal. "Did you bring that crucifix off?" says Pope, looking at the square man's buttoned up bosom. "No," answered Crystal, with a sarcastic glare at Pope, while he threw open his coat, exposing a long red waistcoat. 'Neither would you." "Oh. damn it," cried Pope, with one of his arch laughs, "is it a dead child that's going to put ye off the scent, John? I'll go aboard." During the greater part of the day the pirates were employed in bringing eff the more valuable and useful of the commodities in the Portuguese ship. At two bells, five o'clock, the brig's mainhatch was closed and the boats belonging to her hoisted, but the brig's topsail was still kept aback. The pirates went to supper in the •'.tweei--decks, and Pope and Crystal watched the topsail schooner that hatf He took the crucifix. but they kept their cutlasses sheathed, for their first glance as seawen now they were aboard warrante d her abandoned. They paused a moment to listen, and heard nothing but • t h e groans of the aching heart ot a forsa&en ship, and the sympathetic gtirgle of water. "'Lift the mainhatch covers," says Crystal, "and find o u t what she* got in her hold." H e turned to the door of Hie deckhouse; four men accompanied him. What surprising object was that. which, having instantly taken Crystal's oye, had brought him to a halt, the others imitating him, one or two with an " unconscious clutch at their cutlass hilts? Upon a couch or sofa was spread t h e flag of Portugal, and npon it reposed t h e dead body of a child of about five or six years old; a large crucifix with the figure of the Redeemer in silver rested upon the child's breast, secured to it by two pieces of silken cord. Crystal and his m e n stood by its «ide and gazed. Did eveT pirates' *ycs encounter so holy a sight? "It's a child," said CryBtaJ, casting a u uneasy look round t h e berths as though he had expected t h e mother to step forth. "What woman's gone and left it?" .grunted a pirate; h e was Maddison of t h e squint. "It's a girl," aald Crystal. ~ W h a t a she got on her breast?" said a man. "Take It in yer 'and," exclaimed 4>ne. "By thunder!" roared Crystal. "No one here disturbs ft. That** the compa** a t h e little un'a steering its road aowe by.

".'.'ot one," says Pope, after a pause, running his gaze over them with a cole1, faint smiif. Again he paused. "Grlndal," he shouted, "turn all these man Into the Portuguese boats. OflT with ye," he roarod. "You'll find good accommodation In that hulk." He pulled out a cigar and lighted it with his ingenious machine of springing flame. While he puffed the Karl stepped up to him. "I beg that you will let me accompany my crew, sir," ho said. "No, my lord!" 'But why, sir—but why?" cried the old man. "Why should I not be suffered to share the fate of my men, whatever it may prove?" "Bring the boats to the gangway. Tumble 'em in, Griudal. Crystal, see them safely over the side." And with as lofty a carriage &s my lord's, Captain Pope, puffing at his cigar, walked right aft. leaving Earl Fitzglbbou's entreaty unanswered. The Earl stood fixed to the deck; his consternation was heart-shaking. Father of mercy, the pirates wero proceeding on their voyage! They were bearing him away alone ? Whatever was to be his fate at their hands? He saw the boat rench the Portugueseman's side. Ho turned to Pope, who stood coolly s:\io!<ing at a little* distance llkewis3 observing the wreck, and exclaimed: "Will those unhappy iioings find tresh water, sir?" "Plenty, my lord, it mu.-it. by this time have boon remarked by you that we do not thirst for human life," answered Pope, very courteously. "I wish, sir," says my lord, "you would relieve my mind by stating your intentions as regards my disposal." "You shall be sent home," answered Pope. "Have not I said that? But before we part—and the opportunity will sooner or later arrive—a strict understanding such as you, who are doubtless a believer in God, will honorably hold by, must be entered into. There is time:—We-will discuss thismatter to-morrow." BU110R OfTflElUul C H A P T E R X I . now dwindled into the nixo of a child's toy. "The devils don't liko these trans-, ferring job.v" said Crystal. "Strange that we should h:ive faIlon_ in with nothing in the .shape of cash aboard her." "Her people look it away with them," answered Pope. "I would not be locked up alone in her through the run of a middle watch with that child. It seemed to smile as I looked. It has not decayed." "Suppose it had berm alive?" says Crystal. "You'd have brought her off and made a daughter of her." "I would not have a child for that eld man's wealth," said Pope, with an inclination ot his head tov/ard the Earl in the stern. "Is it a boy? He drags your name through the kennels, and the parish buries the representative ot my honored family. He sinks into the mould a scarecrow of rags and sores. Is it a girl? " He was proceeding; Crystal was grinning as though he was in a fury, then observing that his looks had checked Pope, who still continued to regard the melting sail, the square man said: "I hope they left the crucifix on the child's breast." "By this hand," answered Pope, "it has been added to the other stock of plunder in my cabin." "A curse upon your want of heart, then!" says Crystal behind his teeth. After a short, fierce laugh at Crystal's face, which was as hard as a curse, Pope roared out, "Grindal, wend the Earl's crew aft." The Earl's crew came aft quickJy, and, with •'leir skipper, ranged themselves a little abaft the mainmast. Pope wheeled his face toward the bows and said in a hard, sharp, steady veice, "Any of you men changed your The Earl Is fteleased. Next morning, when breakfast was ended and the table cleared, Crystal was for going on deck. "Stop. Jonathan!" shouted Pope. "My lord, keep your seat;"'and saying this he went into his cabin, and in a minute or two returned, holding the crucifix he had taken from the dead child's breast, a sheet, of paper, a pot of ink, and a quill pen. "Now, my lord," says he. putting the sheet of paper and the pen and ink before the Earl, "here are the materials with which you are to make out an order upon Child's for two thousand two hundred guineas." "What is that crucifix for?" said th«^ Kail, whose agitation on a sudden was so extreme that he seemed incapable of following what was said. "To swear you on," says Pope. The Earl started, shot a helpless look of wrath at Pope, turned a shvv and hopeless gaze upon Crystal, then understanding how absolutely he was at ihe mercy of these men. and reflecting that to him his life and liberty wore quite werth the money asked for. he wrote. The Earl looked for a little while on the draft, as though considering the wording of it; he then handed it to C.iptain Pope, saying. "Sir, I have done ray part. This money will be paid ro you on demand if I am suffered to reach England that I may acquaint, my bankers with my wishes. I do not need that,'1 He seemed to understand on a sudden, and passed his hand with a gesture ot dignity toward the crucifix. Pope stood smiling. This speech touched the chords of his melodramatic nature. Tie would have been pleased to respond with a light dramatic flourish, but could not instantly find ideas. "Now. my lord." says Pope, after quietly pocketing the draft, then picking up the crucifix, "you'll be pleased to take this in your hand." "Why. sir?" answered the Earl, i'oldiucr his. arras and erecting himself. "I have no Bible or Prayer Book, end I mean to swear you. Take hold of this." The Earl saw the temper of resolution strong in the man's face. He was u helpless old gentleman among pirates, and he was wise to do their bidding. He took the crucifix. I should consider myself as profane as Pope, if I recited the oath he dictated to the Earl. Enough, if "tia said that he made his lordship swear in tremendous terms that when he was transferred to another vessel ho would never reveal to her people, nor to othersT'aTfoat or ashore, the character of the brig he had left. He also made the unhappy old gentleman swear likewise in tremendous language that the draft when presented would be honored, that no question would be asked, that the man who received the money would be suffered to depart without molestation, unmatched, and that in all respects the matter would be carried through as though based and conducted von th« strictest lines of honest business, (To be continued.)

The J. P.'s Agree. Staunton, Ark., Aug. 31st.—-News comes from Duff, Searcy Co., this state, that Mr. T. E. Reeves, a justice of the Peace at that place, has written a letter recommending Dodd's Kidney Pills in which he says: "I think Dodd's Kidney Pills can't be beat for Kidney Trouble, and I wish them every success." The local J. P. Mr. E. B. Cox agrees with his brother Justice on this point for he says: "I had a bad case of Kidney Trouble and was not able to do a day's work without great distress. I bought six boxes of,Dodd's Kidney Pills and after I had used three boxes I was all right. I am as well as ever, and X cannot praise Dodd's Kidney Pills too highly. "I have given the other three boxes to some friends of mine who had found out what It was that had. cured me so satisfactorily and quickly and they all apeak highly of Dodd's Kidney ptfrs." No one disputes this unanimous verdict. New Danger in Alpine Climbing. A new danger awaits visitors to the Alps and mountains of Switzerland, according to a Swiss physician. It is presented in the lines of train and tramcar service which now run In all directions up the mountain peaks. Dr. Zanger of Zurich declares that this method of attaining lofty peaks and high altitudes rapidly and without physical exertion involves an enormous strain and shock upon*the heart and lungs. He strongly warns ail those who are not robust and accustomed to high altitudes, to take the greatest precautions when starting on such trips. Irrigated Lands.

Fifty years after Columbus' voyage westward another Portuguese, Cabrillo by n a m e , also sailing under the Spanish flag, came coasting up t h e s e Canifornla shores and sailed into this sheltered harbor looking^ for water. H e found it, and also some rather pugnacious Indians, w h o , in modern parlance, "put up a fight." After a skirmish Cabrillo, so the old books say, declared peace, named t h e harbor S a n Miguel, and sailed away northward. W e next hear that his sailors so admired t h e flaming poppy beds at t h e toot of Point Loma—they must have b e e n very numerous that year to be visible from the sea—that they exclaimed in delight "Capa de Flores."

Many stories have been written about mirages and delusions, but none has been more Interesting and curious than that of ttao Silent City mirage which makes its appearance near the Pacilic glacier in Alaska. Tbe discovery of this .wonderful mirage was made by the Indians, who would tell of the city which was built in the clouds. The mirage can be seen in the early part of July from 5 to 6 p. in. It rises from the side Of the Pacltic glacier. It nret appears like a heavy mist und soon becomes clearer, and one can distinctly see the specter dty, well defined streets and trees, tall spires and huge and odd shaped buildings which appear to be undent mosques or cathedrals. It is a city which would seem to contain at least 86,000 or 3iUxK) inhabitants. As yet no one has been able to identify i t although several have claimed t» recognise the place. There is no city like it in Alaska, nor in any country about it for thousands of miles. Some claim it is a city in Russia, others say It is u city in liugland, but none can tell where and what it is. The mirage was given the name of Silent City, as it appears to one like a dead city. There la nothing that would indicate that it ts inhabited. Stomach Trouble.

In Sumatra There is a very singular race of human beings called the Kubus. They ar< tlu- most timid and bashful people *i the world, being too shy to mingle with the other races of the island. They dwell in (be darkest recesses of UK' mountain forests and have seldom been .seen by white men. Une lias never been known to .willingly fuce a stranger. This being the case, their trade with the Malayans is carried ou iu ;i very strange way. The trad ;r aim.m'nces hi* arrival by beating a goiitf and then retires from the place of rendezvous. The shy Kubus Uieji approach, put thvir forest treasures on the ground, beat the trader's gong and retreat. The trader then returns and lays his commodities dowD in quantities sufficient to pay the purchase price of the goods on sale. lie then disappears for a second time, this to give the Kubus a chance to return and consider the bargain. After many withdrawals, approaches, gong beatings, etc., an understanding is arrived at, and each party carries away its bargain. This remarkable race knows nothing of a supreme being, heaven, hell or evil demons. They have no system of marriage and never bury their dead. They live on snakes, ants. bugs,'grubs, etc. H o w u R a t S t o l e B u l b s . M. de Parvllle, a well known French naturalist, told a remarkable story »bout a rat in the Journal des Debuts. A gardener planted one afternoon 250 tulip bulbs on a terrace, und next morning he noticed that the ground had been disturbed and that they had all been taken away. He was confident that rats had done the work, and, taking a spade, he began to dig in the hope of discovering their nest.

It was not lying on the ground, but was in a sort of stooping position and was supported by the left arm of the dead man, which hung over an old ash barre!. The right arm hung at his side and beneath it was found the bloody razor with which the gashes in the throat had been made. Benz had bled freely and the razor was lying in a pool of blood. It is a most remarkable case, considering the fact that Benz. If he did the job himself, must have pounded hi* face with a hammer until he was unconscious, and then after regaining consciousness must have deliberately dragged himself into the house to procure the razor with which lie completed the job by cutting his throat from ear to ear.

Tfcen my lord withdrew to his little, #anceos of a cabin, and the two cap*? 1 tains went on deck to pace a while And smoke after their morning repast Dreadful as was the state of Lord Fitagibbon it was not to last much *»*er, for in the morning watch a «att right ahead was reported by the on the lookout. Grindal knew duty. The captain was not yet turned out. The boatswain stepped below and knocked Pope's cabin door. "Hallo!" roared Pope. "A sail right ahead, sir," answered Grindal, *TOrtm sail," cried Pope, "and keep ytiur friend right under your flying jUbboonvend." "Ay, ay, sir." The boatswain returned on deck, «*d in a very few minutes Captain Pope stood by his side with his brilliaat telescope at his eye. "She shall take my lord," said I*>pe, aloud, but to himself. "Grindal, we want to make nothing off our course; get studdlngsaii-booms rigged oat and the sails set, and load Long Tom with a blank cartridge; he must be brought to a stand." A little while after the gun was ftred the stranger swung her foretopsail with a reel of her whole shape that made you think of a man stagjsering to a blow on the shoulder. The "Earl strode up to Pope and said: "Do you intend to speak that vessel, sir?" MI hope, my lord, to transfer ybu to her," answered Pope, lifting his hat and making: a low bow. "But, Captain Pope, she is sailing into the Atlantic." "She shall tell us her destination, exclaimed Pope frith an engaging smile. And while he §poke the Gypsy floated abreast of the little brigantine, whose.name, writ large upon her stem, was tin' Catesby of Sunderland. A tall vnxix stood near tho ^affrail, short ladder. £opq preceded the Earl and Crystal dlawnded^lwH^^baat. ,-/11- wish your *rd#Wp taj*wa»/ said Pope, "A happy wyajpi aad a safe return." :. ..-,.1. ..V'._.*,r. -He spoke without a awite, "Nobody could have seemed more in earnest. The Earl coldly bowed his, head and with much caution and serious grasping of the maa^opes, put Ms legs over the aide, and without disaster, though the swell sank and rose the little craft, gained the stern' sheets. Crystal then put off and in a minute or two the Earl was on board the brlgantlne, and Crystal was returning to the brig. Pope saw the Earl go up to the long man, and some gesticulation and pointing followed. The Earl seemed exhorting and endeavoring to per* suade, and for twenty minutes this went on, the brigantine's fore-topsail remaining aback; then Pope,' dropping his glass, burst into a roar of laughter. "1*11 be hanged," tie cried to Crystal, "if that yellow skipper isn't sticking her straight off to New York after all." CHAPTER X I I . The Julia Morion. The pirate brig Gypsy duly arrived on the grounds where Pope proposed to cruise bile he waited for the Madre de Dios to heave into sight. A man was stationed throughout the day and throughout the night, if the weather was clear, on the fore-topgallant yard, and reported every sail he described. Whenever a sail was sighted a course was shaped for her, but the chase was promptly abandoned when it was seen she was not the ship tho pirates waited for. They had been cruising three days. In these times they had trimmed sail for a few distant ships which did not turn out to be what they wanted. /. fourth njorning broke. Crystal was in charge and Pope wr.tked tho pjank' Pope bawled in answer to the hall. -tiftd a very little seaman in a yellow aou'west cap, clung and wriggled like a monkey at the end of the long tiller. A few sailors looked on from the forecastle. **B*te ahoy!" singe out the tall man. "What brig are you, and why did you fire at me?" "To bring" you to," answers Pope. "We are the brig Gypsy, of and from London, and I' going to put a gentleman aboard ye." *'$top," shouts the tall man. "We <taa% want no gentlemen aboard us. •niore's no accommodation for passengers 'ere," And he sings out to his me, ':Lee forebrace," and immediately after, "I wish you a good voyage, gentlemen.'* "Hold!" roared Pope, in a voice that arrested the motions of the brigantine's seaman, as though they had paralyzed, "if yon touch a brace, attempt to proceed before I have a gentleman on board of you, by" —and here he swore most horribly— *T wffl go on firing Into you until I alak you.** "Captain Pope," exclaimed t»e Earl, •yon are aggravating my misfortunes by sending me to New York. I have made my personal safety of great value to you; why will not you hand -me over to a ship that is homeward bound?" "Th4 brlgantlne will do that for you, my lord," answered Pope. "We place fte most perfect confidence in Earl ntz/;ibbons* honor. .So saying he motioned, not without -courtesy, but with very intelligible •tgnificance, to the gangway, under wateh the brig's boat lay rippling and aaa*tog4 JWfcfcb ioar metv in her, watie Herftit 'tfwlffaws and alertness,*#tf£ Orjratay waited at tfea uaad of the by his side. On high, seated upuu the fore-topgallant yard, with a ship's glass slung on his back was the figure of a seaman. His white breeches shook with the flight of the wind. His left hand grasped the tie, and with continuous slow motions of the head, hungry with the passions of the expectant heart-sickened pirate, he sunk his frowning gaze into the distant sea-line. Then he sung down loud and clear, "Sail ho!" "Where away?" instantly shouted Pope. "Right astern, sir." "Shorten sail," said Pope to Crystal. "Let her overhaul us." Canvas was reduced, and the brig washed slowly onward. A quality of swiftness resembling steam was in the vessel astern, for in less than an hour she was shining steadily upon the far blue throb. "Run the ensign aloft, half-mast high," said Pope. "She shall think us in distress." No sooner had the flag been hoisted than— "No Earl this time," roars Pope. "By the devil, she's in chase of us!" He had marked the flash at the schooner's bow. He saw the white smoke stream away like a veil of silk to leeward; the gun may or may not have been shotted. He instantly grew wild and excited. "Rig out Btunsall booms and hoist away. Put all your beef into this job/' he shouted. "She's a government boat, and she's after us. Look at her!" The pirates rushed about with won- OINNWH COOKED WITHOUT f | R * lag oa canvas, and hoisting studding* lalls, til! the little brig floated large A M leooa. When the Gypay abftted hi^aelto, ^Jseat»a*i' aJtinS her ivithere oould then be no 4p«bt *be "b/is in chase. it gun; a&4 the flash of the ro>md"'ahot where it hit.the. heave it blue waters past the Gypsy's wake waa like a feather of light When this shot flew, Pope ordered the stern-chaser to be loaded, and a dose waa slapped at the pursuer in a roar of thunder. "What do you make of her, Crystal?" said Pope, after a prolonged look through bis telescope. "Hanged if I can understand It?" answered the- square man. "Sbe'a no government ship, I believe; do you twig the flicker of a pennant?" Another flash from tbe schooner's bow. This time the shot fell cloae; the blast of the gun came in a dull thud on the wings of the wind. "Captain Pope," says Grindal, with a strangely contorted face, looking round from the long brass piece upon whose breech his gnarled and knotted hand rested, "curse me, If I don't think she flies our flag." The conjecture was a revelation to Pope. He took another long look, in the midst of which a flash of Are glanced like lightning of storm at the schooner's bow, and the ball struck the brig's quarter. "Crystal," yelled Pope, "hoist the black flag; we'll chance it!" In a minute the sinister rag of the rover went soaring to the main royal masthead, the helm was put down, the yards were braced sharp up, and the brig with quivering leeches lay watting for the schooner, at whose main-topmast head was now blowing the black flag of the pirate. When the brig's men saw that square of sable bunting, stirless as a painting in the wind, they roared, they shouted, they screamed; they went mad with excitement, and springing upon the bulwark rails cheered the on-coming stranger with extravagant demonstration of arm and cap. "Gods, what would 1 give to exchange this butterbox for yonder beauty," groaned Pope. When the schooner had measured \ space within a quarter of a mi'e, ^he shortened sail with magical celerity, put her helm hard down, and with ilattened-in sheets drove alongside of 'he brig. A tall man whose beard shook Iik3 .jmake-at-.his-.chln, who was draped in x short yellow coat undvr which hi3 'ong Iegs descended into a pair of_ Tqa-Wots. hailed in g<v>d English lr.it »vlth a i'oifrigri acccr.t: "Ho! the brig ahoy! What brig tire you?" "We're the pirate brig Gypsy of .inrt from London, cruising for a ship," Pope bawled, in answer to the hail. •What schooner us that?" "We are the pirate schooner Julia Morton of Liverpool, but now from Cadiz, liko yourselves cruising for a ship." was the reply, in good English whose articulation carried a foreign accent. "Will you come aboard of me and have a yarn, and taste of my brig's hospitality?" shouted Pope, "or shall I go on board of you?" The tall man raised his hand as though asking for a moment to consider, he then addressed a man dark as a mulatto, probably the mate of the schooner; a minute later he called out "Brig, ahoyl I will go on board of you," on which Pope lifted his a at and flourished it. "Cadiz!" said Pope to Crystal, while they stood together in the gangway waiting for the arrival of the captain of the schooner, "on a cruise for a ship! Smite me, John, if I like it!" "Bring half the crew aboard under pretense of entertaining them, clap 'em under, then foul the schooner and take her," said Crystal. Pope scowled in thought with folded arms, but made no answer. The schooner lowered a handsome boat. Twelve men entered her, and then the captain, he of the beard and the boots, sprang from the reel of the gangway into her sternsheets. In a few flashes of oar the boat was alongside the Gypsy. The captain of the schooner climbed over the brig's side, and a number of his men followed him. All were armed. Pope extended his hand to the bearded pirate, and inquired his name. "Captain Bland," he answered, with a countenance of religious repose and in the voice of one who reads at a grave-side. "Are you straight from London?" •said he, after looking hard at Crystal, and then round at the little ship whose character was abundantly proclaimed to his satisfaction by the readiness with which the brig's crew and his own men had fraternized, one or two of them indeed having been old shipmates, so that it was "Why, damn me, Tom!" and "Why, blast me, William!" "Straight," answered Pope. "And you're from Cadiz!" "Ha!" repliod Captain Bland, in solemn delivery. "Was there ever a ship left that port," inquired Captain Pope, "before you sailed, named the Madre da Dioe?" (To be continued.) Points oa PaeteMrisatlOft By pasteuritatlon we understand the application of heat to such a de* gree that most of toe bacteria are destroyed; the temperature generally made use of ranges between 140 to 185 degrees P., said 11. Morteason at a dairy convention. This should not be confused with sterilisation, by which we understand complete destruction of bacteria; this may be oc« compliahed either by application of heat or by the use of chemicals. Every buttermaker at present baa become so familiar with pasteurization that he can without difficulty pasteurize milk for starters, but pasteurisation of milk and cream for city supply and especially cream for buttermaking, requires more experience and very careful work. The cooked flavor which milk acquires after it has been heated to a temperature of 150 degrees F. must be prevented when milk is to be sold for direct consumption. The consumer generally objects to the cooked flavor; only a few understand that that flavor serves as a guarantee that this milk is a pure, healthy food. The Wisconsin Experiment station recommends that the milk be heated to 140 degrees F. for thirty minutes; that does not produce the cooked flavor and it does not affect the rising of the cream as do higher temperatures. Pasteurization of milk and cream for direct consumption is continually growing in favor. As to the digestibility of pasteurized milk compared with raw milk opinions are divided. Experiments along that line of work have been conducted at the Maryland Experiment station, where they arrived at the conclusion that raw milk is more easily digested when fed to calves than either pasteurized or cooked milk; they also corresponded with physicians in charge of chlldrens' hospitals and the majority of them favor the use of raw milk for infants, when the milk was known to be in perfect condition, but favored pasteurized milk under ordinary conditions. Dr. Fleischmann together with Dr. August Morgen and other European scientists conducted experiments which lead to the conclusion that the nitrogenous .matter in mIlk which has been submitted to a high temperature Is somewhat more digestible than ID fresh milk. New York's Milk. The milk trade in the vicinity ol New York is rapidly taking on a syste- 1 of its own that seems to be unique In this country. The milk dealers are largely organized under the title of the "People's Pure Milk Company." The producers of milk have a gigantic organization, which fthey call the, "Five States Milk Producers' Associations" Not long ago they completed a Ave years' agreement dating from October, 1903, the producers of milk to deliver to the dealers about 20,000 cans of milk per day, agreeing to sell to them all the milk they produce, except sucn as is used in their homes. The agreement is on the quart basis, the monthly prices to be as follows: January, 3 4-8 cents; February, 3 3-8 cents; March, 31-8, cents; April, 3 cents; May, 2 5-8 cents; June, 2 1-8 cents; July, 2 3-8 cents; August, 2 6-8 cents; September, 3 cents; October, 31-8 cents; November, 3 3-8 cents; December, 3 6-8 cents. However these prices are subsequently changed they must never fall below a yearly average of 2% cents per quart in cash. After two years, the annual average is to be Increased to 2% cents per quart. The milk selling company sells a part of its stock to the producers, thus making them partakers in the profits of the milk delivery. The milk delivering company furnishes all cans and keeps them clean without expense to the milk producers. One hundred pounds of milk is agreed upon as the equivalent of 48 quarts. The milk producers living near the city are to receive in addition to the above mentioned prices the difference in freight rates over the long hauls for which the prices are made. The milk producers that do not keep their stables in a sanitary condition are to be excluded from the benefits of this agreement, and their milk will be refused. eterwegian .*•***•»Hat Many Ynr *'t*.fr- '•< QewtlPolota,.,• .-;. • Tireless dinner* *Mmade la tossela liajned Norwegian*ltchenj» which are an idea imported from the neaaaott of Norway.

The woman who has loved several times becomes in time an artist. She can s e e delicate nuances, criticise technique and appreciate refined and subtle touches which satisfy the taste and charm the imagination. But she becomes in time very critical and difficult to please. Unhappily there get to be fewer and fewer men who can interest her. She regrets this, but she cannot help it. .It pleases all men to be thought to understand woman. It is a simple pleasure, and one that should not be denied them.—Minnie J. Reynolds in New York Times. Brave Officer Ill-Used An incident of interest connected with the work of the navy in China many years ago was related a few days ago by a shipmate of Lieut. Robert B. Pegram, who, had he been an officer of ariy foreign navy, would have been promoted, and it might Lave influenced him to remain in the service of the civil war instead of joining the Confederate navy. The incident alluded to occurred at the time when the Chinese pirates were more daring and murderous in their work than they have been since. It was in 1855, when, in connection with an English commander, Pegram eonceived a plan for destroying the piratical fleet, and a boat expedition was organized for that purpose. Pegram, with about 100 of the American sailors, and the English captain, with about sixty of his men. made an advance in a harbor where the pirates made their headquarters, and where were assembled a large number of their liinks, "having a hundred oi more guns and more than a thousand Chinese "devils." Most of the pirates and their junks were captured or destroyed by Pegram and his men, and, the piratical rendezvous was completely routed. The British officer was promoted for his share in the work, while Pegram's services were recognized by the secretary of the navy in a letter merely Rtating that "the correspondence which had taken place on both sides will be placed on file." Pegram felt that his daring was worthy of more than the letter he received and he chafed under it. If he had received the thanks of Congress he would have been better satisfied. When the civil war began Pegram was on waiting orders, but he disappeared, and later entered the Confederate navy, and is now on the records of the navy department as "dismissed April 27, 1861." Death in "Frozen Fog" One of the most curious of the natural phenomena peculiar to the Rocky mountains is the mysterious storm known to the Indians as the "white death." Not many years ago a party of three women an1 two men were crossing a part of Colorado In a wagon during the month of February. * It was a lovely morning, very frosty, but with brilliant sunshine, and the atmosphere as clear as possible. Suddenly one of the women put her hands to her face and said that tihe had been stung; then other members of the party did the same thing, but no insect could be seen. A moment later they noticed that the distant mountains were disappearing behind a cloud of mist, a most unusual thing for that time of year. They drove on, and In a few minutes a gentle wind began to blow and the air became filled with fine particles of something that scintillated like diamond dust in the sunshine. Still they drove on until they came to a cabin, where a man signaled them to stop. With his head all muffled up, he rushed out and handed the driver a piece of paper on which was written: 'Come into the house quickly, or the storm will kill all of you. Don't talk outside here." No time was lost in getting inside and putting the horses under cpver, but in less than an hour the whole party was seized with violent coughs and fever and before next morning one of the women had succumbed with all the symptoms of pneumonia. The others managed to pull through after long illness. Scientists call this phenomena frozen fog, but whence It comes has not at present been traced.

"It was of Chinese make, and was originally Intended for use by some Eastern assassin. "In appearance it was an ordinary Chtneso marking brush, but of a size rather larger than usual. The handle was about ten inches long and had the diameter of a lead pencil. But, by giving the handle a sharp twist it separate^ after the manner of a sword cane, and attached to one of the pieces was a glass rod, not much thicker than a needle and of the i A s t intense sharpness. It waa in faut a delicate stiletto, s o small and sharp that the slightest pressure would semi it far into a man's body. . "Bnt rt .wasn't until a person took a •loser look that t h e real tendrahneas j of the weapon became apparent. The glass rod had a tiny groove filed around it about six inches from the point, so that when the stiletto was thrust into the victim a sliver of glass would break off, remain in the wound and close it to prevent bleeding. The weapon w a s so sharp and delicate that the man who was stabbed would feel nothing more than a pin prick. But the sliver of glass from three to six Inches long fn his vitals would be enough to kill him. "Yet so slight would be the wound inflicted that it would be some time after he was stabbed before death came, and no ordinary autopsy, except by the merest chance, would disclose what had killed the victim, pf M i e s M u r i e l A r m l t a g e .

"Force", aready to serve wheat and barley fojd, adds no burden bat sustains, flourishes, invigorates. Her sweet naturalness impress one, says the New York Mail and Express, as instantaneously and pleasantly as the sweet purity of her voice, and the Suzanne Adams one meets in her apartments is very much the same as the Suzanne Adams who looks and sings as charmingly as Juliet and Marguerite. Young, bright-eyed, healthy and happy, unaffected, such is the youngest of Mr. Grau's prima donnas, with the most fetching accent—not American, not exactly English, but with a delightful sou peon of Ir<sh, despite all her French singing. "My mother was Irish, you know," she says, "and I was born in Massachusetts—at Cambridge." Mme. Adams has a novel method of practicing. I n her parlor by the piano stand a graphophones. She sings into one of these, while her husband, who teaches and accompanies her, plays into the other. The song finished, they sit down to rest while the graphophones are turned on, and out pours the aria with piano accompaniment. In this way, said Mme. Adams, "we get the effect, and can tell whether we want to do it that way again or not. I t is great fun, too, aside from the help in practicing and study of parts which po3iibly one may never sing." The Columbia Phonograph Co., sole sales agent of the American Graphophone Co., has recently arranged with this great artiste to make records, and nothing like them has ever been even distantly approached. In some cases, Mme. Adams is accompanied on the violoncello by her husband who plays a somewhat renowned instrument valuedat_i5,000. Other great singers are under engagements and a new Hne of singing records will be made eclipsing all previous ones. s-The regulation price for singing is one dollar per song but in-order to- secure what they desire, the Columbia people are paying from $100 to $1,000 for a song. It is needless to add that they are the only ones in the talking machine business who have the means to employ singers whose fame is as wide as the world and whose time is valued at several dollars per second. I n view of Suzanne Adaaas's hold upon musical people who frequent the Metropolitan Opera House and other academies of mnsic in the Old World as well as the New, it is fitting that she should have been the first great soprano to make graphophone records for the benefit of the public. Owing to the marvelous improvement that has been made, by the Columbia people, in the past year, the graphophone work of Mme. Adams is extremely satisfactory. And ; then it is a delightful thing to have the voice of such an artiste in one's home and always available, even though the singer may, at the time, be absent in PROPRIA PBRSONA and be charming her listeners in the courts and the opera houses of the lands beyond the sea.

Showing What's Doing In All SiotiMt of tit* Stat* Owned by the T n u t . An examination-of the records show8 t h a t the sugar trust has obtained control of several of the beet sugar factories of Michigan. Either a Ua'-f interest or mora iu the capital stox-k of all but one of the following companies has been obtained: Valley .Sugar Co., of Sugluaw, capital stock .$ 500,000 Saginaw Sugar Co., of Saginaw, capital stock GoO.OOO Alma Sugar Co., of Alma, capital stock 050,000 Bay Oity-Mlcbtgan Sugar Co., Bay City, capital s t o c k . . . . 1,000,000 Tawus Sugar Co., E a s t Tawas, capital stock . . . . 500,000 Peninsular Sugur Refining Co., Caro,'capital s t o c k . . . . 1,000,000 Sebewaing Sugar Refining Co., capital stock G50.000 Sanilac Sugar Refining Co., Croswell, capital stock . . . . 600,000 Menominee River Sugar Co., Menominee, capital s t o c k . . 800,000 Greek Slaves In Michigan. ' WMfe slavery Ms practiced in Kalamazoo and other Michigan cities by an oath-bound organisation with headquarters in the Celery City. Kvery year boys are being picked up ou the streets of cities in Greece and sold into slavery in this country. The purchasers are mostly Greek bootblacks, who pay from $50 to $75 for a boy 5 or G yeujs old for the first year. In the second year the price is- advanced $25, and in each succeeding year there is a small increase until the boy is of nge, when the "boss" must take chances with his slave. This w a s the fate of Nichola Demoggeor, who w a s shipped from Greece, to Kalamazoo 17 months ago, and who after suffering many indignities, made his escape. Demers' anxiety to recapture the child brought about a revelation of the methods practiced by the society.

The new law giving the railroad commissioner authority to supervise the operation of electric railways will go into effect September 17, along with the other laws enacted at the last legislative session, and the department officials are familiarizing themselves with the provisions of the new statute. The discovery has been made that the new law gives the railroad commissioner but little authority Q*sr the electric roads that he doea not now possess. It is doubtful If, under the new law, he can limit the *peed of electric cars, which are run at a dangerous speed ^n some of the roads. Iu other respects the law does not meet the expectations of those who favored state supervision of the roads. I.aw 1« EspctiNive. A civil suit for damages, which has attracted wide attention in Lapeer. closed Wednesday after the jury had been out all night. Clayton Lamb, of llryden, sued Dan Utley. of that place, to recover damages on hay the latter had purchased from him. Utley contended that the hay contained more straw than he agreed to accept and that it was not properly sorted before bailing. Lamb sued to recover $S1 and this was the third trial of the case. The jury came in with a verdict for Lamb for $81, but this is a nominal sum compared with the costs that have and will accrue, as Vtley declares it is too expensive to drop where it is. and he will carry It to the supreme court. S t a t e vn. llailruadM. The railroads of the state that are contesting the assessment of their properties by the state board of railway assessors will have three months in which to put in rheir evidence that the assessment Is excessive and void1. T h e state <tf Michigan wili then have another thi-ec months in which to take the testimony of its witnesses and experts in support' of the assessment. After that the railroads will have another month in whb-h to offer testimony in rebuttal and the state will have another ten days, iu which to • •lose the case, Then the testimony will be laid before Judge Wanty, of the T'nited States district court at Grand Rapids, and he will decide the ease when he has read the testimony and the briefs submitted. 20,000 Bfaceabeea a t P a r t H u r o a . Twenty thousand Modern Maccabees from all over the state of Michigan were in Tort Huron Tuesday, the event being the anniversary of the organization of the great en nip of the Maccabees.

Shot by a Thief. A atrange man, probably a thief, shot William Woods, a well known Buttle Creek citizen, as he stepped out upon his rear porch Tuesday night to investigate suspicious noises which had annoyed his family just prior to his return home. Woods was armed with an iron rod while his son carried' a •shotgun. The unknown man fired ii bullet from a ,'LS-ciiliber revolver, which the jMilice state was poisoned. The j lead entered Woods's right side, passed jthrouuh the chest wnlls and coming lout fell In a pocket in his coat. Our r.oym iu K h a k i .

Simultaneously with this reduction in price a new record, greatly superior to any that has ever been offered for sale is being furnished —a black, ^uper-hardened record, both durable and brillant and combining sweetness and smoothness with remarkable volume. These records will fit all talkiag machines using cylindrical records and the facilities for manufacturing them have been increased to an extent that will enable the Columbia Phonograph Co. to produce a practiea lly limitiess sup- P1 ?. While improved processes of manufacture and the simplifying of talking machine constraction have resulted in the price of Graphophones being reduced, from time to time, until they are now sold at figures that brin? them within the reach of all, the price of cylinder records has, in the meantime, remained at fifty cents each. For many insuperable reasons it has never been possible until now to sell records at the popular price that has finally been fixed for them. But continued and unceasing improvement in Columbia facilities has, at last, brought the output to a point where it is possible to cut tbe price to secure this end, a better article is to be furnished than ever before. This could only be done by increasing the sales to the enormous figures they have now reached and which are certain to assume bewildering proportions, with the reduction in the price, The Columbia Phonograph Co., the pioneer and leader in the talking maohine art, was the first to finish a really meritorous record for fifty cents and while iti records are far superior to those of previous years, the fact is admited, on all sides, that Columbia records, in all stages of their develop ment, have always been the best that were made. And thio io truer now than ever before. While the superiority of Columbia records would justify their sale at a higher price than that of any competing record, their reduoed price means that the purohaser is to have the very best records oyer manufactured and to bave^ two ok them at the price be formerly paid for one. Preparations have been made with the utmost thoroughness to meet the emergency which a reduction in the price of cylindrical records to twentyfive cents, each, was certain to precipitate. In anticipation of an unprecedented demand tor the new, and vastly improved records, the factory of the Columbia Phonograph Co. is running day, night and every possible arrangement has been made to fill all orders with reasonable prompne&9, however heavy -hose orders may become. To make better goods than its competitors and sell them at popular, prices has always been the aim of the Columbia .Phonograph Co. Desiroc^ that the public should test its claims as to tbe superior quality of this new, product it offers, for a limited period, to give a record, free, to any user of a talking machine who will call at any of its stores and mention the type of the machine be is using/ If not convenient to call, a record will be mailed, on receipt of ten cents, to cover postage, and the information ?s to tbe type of the machine in use.

Before I take this fresh step I will call the crew aft and hold a council with them." .-<-' "They'll expert it," g a ^ €rjyatal, helping himself to a glass of the Earl's champagne. * '- •Just then the boatswain called through the skylight: "Three sail, right ahead, are reported from the tlgallant yard, sir. Heading for'us.*1 "Right," and the boatswain's i^gly face vanished. After swallowing another tumbler of grog apiece, the two captains went on deck. It was not until flve-bells, half-past two, that the three sail sprang lato sight ahead; two showing from the deck before the third. It was plain they were keeping company and sailed close together. Pope and Grindal had been watching the ships on the bow through the telescope intently for some time tn silence, when Grindal exclaimed: "The little 'un to the right is a schooner. She's under small canvas while t'other shows all she's got to spread, and the amidship vessel," he added after a pause, letting the glass sink from his ey« and speaking, in a hollow voice, while he fastened fhis wicked bloodshot gaze on the com- 'mander's countenance, "is a* frigate— as I should say by the histe of the taws'ls. of all fifty guns." "Quick! the glass!" shouted Pope. He wrenched it with the violence of a sudden passion of excitement out of the boatswain's hands, looked, and in a note of thunder bawled: "It;s ajx English frigate, as you say, convoying the Madre, that's halfwrecked aloft; and the schooner Julia Morton is her prize, by heaven!"-,, He then rushed aft, roaring, "Shift your helm two points; let the shift bo gradual! Grindal, trim with caution! A hellish trap to stumble on! AH of a sudden, too!" He was blood-red with "Here's to our brave little sweetheart!" 'upon the scene, then," said Capiain Rand, with a peculiar glow in his dVisky eye, T will make off. T!s a mtdr- of mine never to interfere in any grxHi business that may be doing by m y friends." "cio!" cried Pope, his face lighting Up, "each of us then has his chance. and no man can ask for more. Your ttmd r n that bargain, frierAl;" and he stref-ned his arm. Captain Bland gravely squeezed Captain Pope's fingers. "A prosperous SN>yas»e. Captain." CHAPTER XIII. The Madre. Nothing answering to the desorip- Ifrm of the Madre hove in sight. Pope bad not known until he met Captain Bland that ships from Cadiz for two or three years in succession had been takett by pirates. He consulted with Crystal, and they agreed it was pos- 4dbfe that the commander of the Af&dre, fearing to be plundered, had shaped a coarse for the Horn widely remote from that pursued by his fkredecesaBTS. Four tiayB bad passed since the Julia Morton parted company. Pope ^•ad Crystal were sitting -A. dinner. A _ sr «f salt beef *teamed upon the p <*e ' w h , l e t n f i *w ? c»lKains stood together near the wheel watohing their lofty, swaying pursuer. "Does he gain on us?" „-, "No," answered Pope, with the sudden decision * of \ cbhvictioh. "But curse setae tlfts swell?" Is it the forekW plata, instead of falling to,J runner of. a calm?

Pope was perfectly right; but then no seaman aided by a glass could have mistaken; the schooner was undoubtedly the beautiful fabric commanded by Captain Bland, and the ship with her fore-topmast gone answered' in every minute point to the description Pope had received of the Madre de Dios. • Damnation! she's after us," bellowed. Crystal. And sure enough the frigate might be seen with yards slowly squaring, rounding slowly out from her consorts, and as she brought her bow guns to bear upon the Gypsy, flash! and her most intelligible hint of thunder veiled the fok'sle in blue powder smoke. The brig was put dead before the wind. Her people toiled in frantic haste, and in a frenzy of desire to escape; for well did they know the penalty that many of them would have to pay if that shapely cloud of soft, swelling whiteness astern brought the grinning artillery of the hull below within easy reach of the Gypsy's spars. "I expect that scoundrel Bland has peached," says Crystal fiercely to iouthott ^'What aiarl ybtt do ITlha overhauls, us?" ^.. "^jrike," answered Pope: "111.-not be taken alive," said Crystal.

All the pi rate a looking as one man could not see where the shot hit the water. , There could .he no-Question that the Gypsy was not only holding her own, but that she wa* distancing her pttf' suer. When her people made sure of this, their Bavage exultations broke out. They filled cans of gin and rum, and Pope, flourishing a glasBful, roared out: "Here's to our brave little sweetheart. Here's to her darling heels, my lads. Drink to her—drink to her!" • And a roaring huzza went up from the crew. "If they're going to broach the IIQUOT casks in this fashion." muttered Crystal in Pope's ear, making a dreadful face as he slowly turned his eyes from the frigate, "there'll be no fighting when fighting's wanted." ^"There'H be no fighting anyhow," answered Pope. "What! with a fiftygun ship, and say four hundred and fifty of a crew? A single broadside would blow us into ribs." At four o'clock in the afternoon the frigate was still in chase, but the light breeze and the keen entry of the brig had helped her as though with the gift of an auxiliary screw, and now when you looked at the man-of-war you saw that she was sunk to her ports, but still she hung astern, a full majestic moon of canvas deadly in resolved pursuit. "Ain't the wind scanting," said Grindal to~CaptaTn~ Pope" creasing ""fits" nose and snuffling as he brought his wicked eyes to bear on his commander. "We may have it out of southeast," answered Pope, "I shall keep all on, everything abroad, dead before it until we can sail her into darkness which .can't be far off; though fire seize th% sun! d'ye notice how slow he always is in his going when night's wanted in a hurry?" It was a famous saying of Nelson, "that at sea a good deal must be left to ohance," and very often chance, which is another name for fortune, will show mercy to the undeserving even to pirates, though a meritorious frigate has been sweating astern all day in their wake. For by six o'clock the sky southeast was painted a threatening dark gray with a mass of loose stuff sulkily scaling off it; and now it was that both Pope and Crystal stood waiting breathlessly; it was life or death to them; they stared into the horizon and their faces * looked " "their tremendous intentions. Each man as he gazed saw the brig filled witn meir-of-warsmen and his own corpse crimsoning the white plank with a great bullet wound in his head. No! these starving master mariners had hoisted the abhorred flag for a fortune, not for ft gibbet. . Then with no further scanting the wind,shifted all of a sudden slap with the run of the swell. "Starboard your helm! Starboard your helm!" roared Pope. "See what are they doing yonder?" Such a. cheer . as a man reprieved from death would send up to heaven or being/a scoundrel pirate-would send down to the devil, broke from Pope's deep throat as he dropped the .telescope and turned to Cryetal. Tbe frigate with a shift of wind had /dowii helm and was bracing her yards'tip to1' join the two vessels out of sight behind the rim of the sea. She bad abandoned the pursuit. With a huge oath Crystal dashed his cap on to the deck, shouting, "What an escape!" Scarce had he said this when-;all hands -began to see what had happened and they fell mad. The decks wore covered with dancing figures, the air was split with their hideous roars of joy. a1,1, ..,4)1 CHAPTER XiV. two dis- The Thetis, West Indiaman. Nothing happened the next days. The crew were bitterly appointed by the escape of the Madre. They admitted that their comjftlflraer had not deceived them. That aort of fortune over which the blacky-«tar trembles had admitted them to a sight of the object of their cruise; buYfibr Bland and his accursed schooner, the Spaniard might have been theirs. However, it was to be the next ship; Captain Pope had sworn itfCkp-" tain Crystal had echoed the oath.' The men, defeated in their greed, wll4 to get money and end the dangerous cruise, were furiously determine . It was a Sunday morning, fair and peaceful; one of those swset^ vatnv } mornings, which at sea » _ . , think''of'the glad music of-the1 "m ing lark, while memory' calls up the woodland scene, the dusty road, the little highway inn. Crystal had come up from breakfast, leaving Pope at table, a>d Grindal, relieved from his watch, tin deck, was rolling forward, when a loud, clearvoice, sang from the fore-top-gaUant yard, "Sail ho!" : - , (Tb be continued.) i - » AJfalfs at Horse Feed. The alfalfa crop 1B of great importance In many regions of the United States and is depended upon as a standard feed for farm animals. Nevertheless, the statement Is often made that it la not a good feed for horses, though excellent for other farm animals. The Utah. Station believes that it is also suited for horses and reports a number of'experiments by L. A. Merrill which bear out this belief and supplement the experience gained in using alfalfa as the principal coarse fodder of the station horses for a number of years. In the first test, which began January 13, 1899, four of the station farm work horses were fed on a ration consisting of ten pounds of bran and shorts and 25 pounds of hay, two being given alfalfa hay and two timothy. The average cost of the alfalfa ration was 9.9 cents per day and the timothy ration 12.3 cents. During the ninetyfive days of the first period of the test the horses fed timothy lost 124 pounds, those fed alfalfa 4 pounds. The rations were then reversed for flfty-Bix days. During this time tbe horses fed alfalfa hay gained 75 pounds, those fed timothy hay lost 60 pounds. The second test began November 20 and the experimental conditions were practically the same as before, except that the grain ration was larger averaging a little oyer 12 pounds per head "Sally. In ninety-one days the two horses fed the alfalfa ration gained 55 pounds, while those fed the timothy hay lost 41 pounds. The two rations cost 11 and 13 cents per head per day, respectively. For a period of sixtyeight days the rations were reversed, the grain ration being Increased to some 15 pounds per head per day. On alfalfa hay there was a total gain of 65 pounds and on timothy hay a loss of 100 pounds. The rations were also tested for thirty-nine days with two driving horses used for light work. In addition to some 12 pounds of grain per day, one horse ate 8.3 pounds timothy hay, the other 16 pounds of alfalfa hay on an average. On the former ration there was a loss of 50 pounds and on the latter a gain of 10 pounds, the cost of the two rations being 9.5 cents and 8.7 cents respectively.—Department of Agriculture Report, Bulletin 162. Treatment for Heaves. In accordance with the request of a reader of the Farmers' Review^we quote the advice for treatment of heaves from two writers: Prof. D. Mcintosh: Feed so as not to overload the stomach; allow a little hay to be eaten first, then give water and then oats. Never feed more than twelve to fourteen pounds of hay per day and fifteen pounds of oats. Boiled flaxseed mixed with a little bran at night will keep the bowel3 regular, besides being very nutrl: tious. Sulphate of iron, four ounces; nitrate of potassium, four ounces; nux vomica, two ounces; divided into twenty-four doses, and one given every night in bran mash, is very useful. After this quantity has been given, skip two or three weeks and repaat One ounce of Fowler's solution bt arsenic .given every night in small bran mash, when'the animal is aryortc in the spring, is very good and often enables an animal to do a good day's work, which it could not do except for t the arsenic. This -can be continued for a month to six weeks without any danger to the animal. Then stop for a few weeks or as long as f.he animal can do without it, and when the breathing becomes difficult resume again and so on. I have treatftf'' Trfi1!ai£5? **'' T^SujfcrtirtFaJlow.^ flow BMMb*aalaa baa thatsummer fallow? We find this a question thai haa received the attention of agricultrists for thousands of years and y a t - 1s being fiercely contested1, at laaal- In certain parts of the agricultural world. As long ago as Bible day* the matter was one claiming attention and one of the prophets obided the people for not permitting tabir land to - rest. The summer fallow was prac*'* ticed in those far distant times. This is perhaps what has given the sum* mer fallow such a reputation. Untl) the last generation the tillers of soil on the American continent believed the fallow to be a good thing. Later agricultural science, however, has declared against it quite generally, but not universally. In most of bur humid states the1 students of agriculture and of agricultural Qondigoos ha»e comeOo believe that .tbe.summer fallow is always a bad thing; that leaving the .land exposed to the sun burns upfcaje humus In thd Immediate surface^ ikyer of soil, and this is undoubtedly the case.' Our best experimenter'^ |a^are that, a crop of weeds 1¾. far better for land than to leave it bare, Wat the soil may be preserved In a loose,, moist, friable condition and(>the humus be saved. This shading is-also favorable to the development of soluble nitrates in the soil, which later are used by the crops. It was, therefore, with a good deal of surprise that on a visit' to Western Canada the writer found the summer fallow not only in common and general use but enjoying a most enviable reputation as a cause of abundant crops. In fact, summer fallow Is now practiced all the way from Manitoba west to the Rocky Mountains, being in general use in the province named. Even such a jnah of reputation as J. Obed Smithy the Commissioner of Immigration at Winnipeg, declared to the writer that tbe farmers of the Northwest territories, did not .know how to farm there tfll they discovered the great use of the summer fallow. The land is permitted to }ie/fallow onethird of the time. A piece of land Is plowed in June and after the sod has rotted It Is "backset/' the last of August or the first of September. The next spring it is sown, to, Bay wheat. A crop is taken off that fall and the next spring a crop of wheat is drilled on the stubble without pi ing and a second crop of wheat is harvested that fall. The land is summer fallowed the next year. Why this treatment should result in good crops we were not able to learn, nor were the farmers th3m« selves able to give a good reason. It is interesting to note that in Manitoba a few of the most successful farmers have begun a vigorous war against .the summer fallow. There aro farmers in that province who regard the summer follow as a.fallacy and have raised magnificent crops without It. Quite a number of these men make their voices heard at the farmers' institutes and through their local agricultural papers. It may be thr.t this practice will be found to be without value. It must, however, be remembered that at the experiment station at Indian Head, Assiniboia, the summer fallow idea is believed in and practiced. We saw a magnificent field of wheat there growing entirely without manure, and it was the twentieth crop without manure. Cheese and Butter Making. A good many cheese factories are ed horses in this way and they would (now being equipped with butter makdo their work with ease for years. * * • Jonathan Periam: Treatment with a view to permanent cure is generally, not successful. However th.e ailment may be greatly ameliorated by a strict attention to the diet, which should be the reverse of that which has hitherto been given. Give nutritive^ food of small bulk and best quality, such as finely-cut wfJdV'My ^nixed with ground oats and corn,: bran and a .small quantity of ground' oil-cake or. flaxseed meal, and slightlyj mois* tened. In summer give green or succulent food Instead of hay„r,a^d in winter daily allowances of -psliced carrots and other roots. Such horses should never be fed or watered immediately before use, and they should be used only for slow and easy work. —Farmers* Review. A Potato Bug Army.

One of the objections to cheese factories in some localities is the fact that they run for only six months in the year and tho farmer is left without a market for his milk during the rest of the year. By this process also the farmer has to have all of his cows calve in the spring so that he may get as big a flow of milk as possible during the months when he can sell it. It is much more to the interest of the farmer to have some of his oows calve in the fall. In the first place his calves can then have the skimmilk at an age when milk in some form must be supplied to them. Later they san live on pasture grasses. "The man that produces milk for the summer cheese factory only has none for his salves, and the whey is a poor substi* tute.

For some years Orbra has suffered a great deal with a form of Kidney Trouble which was very annoying, and vhich made him miserable all__lhje time. He had to get up three or four times every oight, almost all his life. Hie father heard of a remedy called Dodd's Kidney Pills, and bought some for the little fe'.low with the result that he is now completely cured of the old trouble. He says: "Dodd's Kidney Pills soon gave me great relief, and now I can sleep all niglit without having to get up. We will alwa;s praice Dodd's Kidney rills." There are many children suffering from Kidney and Urinary troubles. These disorders should De promptly j corrected. Dodd's Kidney Pills is a j safe and sure remedy for all such de-' rangements.

H e Was in bed' when I went to the room, and i did not see him, for while I waa undressing he bad a sheet drawn np orer bis face and waa apparently sound asleep. I placed my money in my inside vest pocket and, rolling up the •eat, placed It under my pillow. This tudng done. I I****A the door, which was near my bed, lay down and went to steep. I was awakened in the night by the sound of some metallic substance dropping on wood aad by a light* shining in the court saw the, dim figure of a man, near the window placing something in a drawer of the bureau. Then Inboard bam shut the drawer vesy cautiously so as to make the least possible sound. Instinctively I felt under my pillow for my Test It was gone! Barely I had been robbed, and it was evident that my gold had been deposited, in the bureau drawer. But why had the robber not kept it on his person? And why had he not taken it away? He had only to unlock the doer and pass o u t But he would have to pass very near to my bed. Indeed the lock was within a few feet of my head, and I remembered that She bolt went into the socket with some difficulty and noisily. Doubtless the man seared to awaken me? He would await his opportunity. Meanwhile it waa not necessary thai he should run the risk erf being caught with the money on bis person. I lay awake a long while deliberating what to do. I had no arms with me; besides, I anTnot disposed to risk my life with one ef these desperate JeUows. One doesn't ^ ° 0 ^ ^hen they may consider it te their interest to kiH. I must use artifice. Should I wait till I could hear the man- drawing the heavy breath of a sleeper, then crawl to the bureau open the drawer, take the money, crawl bac^ To the door, open It and bolt? L dismissed the plan at once. The man probably wemld not go te sleep, and if he did she evening of the drawer mAgst awaken htm. No; tine pton waft net to'be thought of. The next plan 1 cooaUdwed waa to get* up and touch the electric button. But this would not work, tor I did not know where the button waa located. Besides, the robber msgbt finish me before I could accomplish the purpose. While I was ruminating I heard the man taming in bed. He was evidently not asleep. Then be got up. I heard him feeling about for something. The next sound was that of bis getting into his clothes. He was going to get up and deliberately w«fBt away with my money. A plan came to me, on which I acted at' once, I groaned. The man stood still in a dark corner. Bvidently he had not calculated on my being awake. I groaned agate, this time as though in excruciating, 'agony. Still the man stood motionless and silent "I say;* I eried, ''you in the other bed! Call for help! I'm dying!" "Urn—ah! What is ft?" In the tone of one suddenly awakened. MI want a doctor." "What's the matter with y o u r At this point I was taken with each severe paroxysms that I couldn't answer at once. "For heaven's sake, strike a light T' I said as soon as I eould speak. In a few moments the gas waalit, and a man in his nightshirt stood near the foot of my bed. What should be my next move? If I asked him to souse the house he might expect to lose his plunder and would probably take it with him. "Cant you go downatairs," I said, "to the bar and bring me up a stiff glass of brandy with Jamaica ginger?" He hesitated, apparently not certain of the best course for Mm to pursue. I began to groan again, this time fairly shrieking with pain, at the same time sitting up in bed and staring straight at him. I did this that he might not take the contents of the drawer unless he did it before my eyes. * "Stop your yelUnsV* be said.

The commissioner of insurance has had his attention called, during the past ten days, to several Instances where it is alleged tire insurance agents in a s many sections of the state have placed business in unauthorised companies. Investigations are being m a d e and arrests will follow^ in all ca.se.3 where the facts warrant such action. The commissioner has repeatedly warned Michigan property o w n e r s against these frauds and published a list of them in the n e w s p a p e r s ©£ the state. Their operations in Michigan have been materially curtailed during the past year, but it is evident that further heroic treatment Is necessary before they are stamped out entirely. The commissioner s a y s that every perso found aiding them in procuring business in Michigan will be prosecuted under the criminal statute, and if he is the agent for reputable and authorized companies, his licenses for the latteiwill be revoked. Some arrests v.iil be made at an early date. A Nvw Canrca.

Some men think that when they die the world will be forced out of business. The strength of will lies not in the power to force, but in the power to resist. The deathbed scene of the pope carries a lesson to • all the world—It teaches the blessings and comforts of being ready to die—of life's mission well done—of its duties well discharged. The crow boasts from the moment his shrill voice first comes back to his ears from the echoing hills—he steals from the time he sees the corn blades start from the fgrrow. Some men are built the same way. It dwarfs the man, narrows bis mental vision if he sees nothing but his own desk, and it creates dogmatism in him if he moves in his own sphere, and it makes him unjust if he lives entirely under his own roof and for himself.

F o r According to Btatiattca gathered by tbe Storm (Connecticut) experiment station, the cheese nroat commonly eaten In this country is like the English chfeddur and is known by that name.

Farrington of the Wisconsin station has recently experimented in tbe manufacture of cheeses In small tlaee, the form chosen being suggested by the pound prints of butter that have proved so successful. The Cheddar cheese experimented with was made by the usual process, the only modification being in the pressing and in the follower used in the press, The curd was placed in a mold or hoop of rectangular shape, the bottom or follower of which was a curved board divided into a number of sections, each of which corresponded to a half pound print of cheese. The form of the prints Is determintxl by the carving of the boards, which may be of any size or design to suit any particular market when sold by the retailer. In the experiments at the University of Wisconsin the letters V W were Stamped on each section of cheese. The thickness of tbe block of cheese is of course regulated by the amount of curd put into the mold each time, Tbe WEST P U U U K . Wm. Doyle is painting his residence.

As George Green and wife were on their way to Howell Sunday evening and were passing the cemetery, a man came out ot the bushes and attempted to catch their horse by the bits. Mr. Green gave the horse a slap with the lines and being a lively animal it left the man far behind. What he intended no one knows but there is considerable of that kind of work going on in the county lately. Chas. Beurman had just such an experience only a short time ago, west of Howell. A little lead might do the toughs some i/o od. A TRIP THROUGH THE COUNTY m i M M PBUflEB. ebeeae* averaged \&v$ nearly fifteen pounds 1» weight a-nd were eaefa divided into fifteen prints. Tbe dimension B ot eac^ block of cheese mere 11JS by 13.25-tiy 2.5 inches, each print being 2-3 by 2.5 bf 4.25 inches. The cfceese vras pressed in an ipright frame, the carved board placed at the bottom of the rectangular mold. The bandage cloth was large enough to cover the tarved boards, the sides and tbe bottom of the cheese. The ends were brought together on the smooth side of the cheese, the olotb being cut to such a way as to make smooth corners. A metal hoop similar to tbe cheddar cheese hoops, with fasteners, etc., it la believed, can be made for this kind of cheese so that horizontal gang presses aaay be used and a number of cheeses put to proas at the same time. By carving both sides of the board it can be used for molding two cheeses when the board is placed in the psess between the cheeses. At the Wisconsin station no difficulty was experienced in eurlng these cfcCeses in the same way as cheddar cheese is cured. The bottom and Bides should be greased and the cheese turned occasionally, although it should not rest on the printed surface fer a very*' long time. By exercising a little care in handling these cheeses during tbe curing process, according to Professor Farrington, they can be kept clean and attractive fci appearance and If well made from good milk w4M develop an acceptable flavor.

They have the belt wiibee of a holt of friends. AND WHAT IT TAUGHT US A trip through the county the past week revealed two faets to as that are of direct interest to oar farmer friends. One was the presence in many places along tbe side of the road large patches of burdocks in full seed and no attempt to destroy them. In one or two cases they had bee* cut and thrown into the road wh»re the bmrrs arc easily attatched to the tail of a hnr.e and the seed scattirid again, This is gross negligence on the part of someone. Another fact was the terrible condition of roads in soma plaees where a few moment* would »alce them all right. Other places several loads of clay had been damped—enough to have fixed several rode of road in good shape if properly handled but the clay had been left just as dumped and made the road look like tkis: Of courbe this has been a bad year to make roads good but there is nt excuse for the shape many ot them are in' i;nd the sooner those in charge look alter them the better for all concerned. A move in now om foot to discontinue all F. R. D. service on such roads and that would be a great loss to the convenience of the former. The present handling of roads ii one of the surest ways to bring ab"oat direct taxtation and unless more attention is given them such will be tbe result within a thort time. There are miles ofroads in Livingston county that are nearly impossible and really dangerous after dark. On Sunday, Aug. 16, President ftooi-^ evelt, after attending divine sersioa ia the morning on board the battleship . Kearsarge, anchored off Oyster Bay, addressed in the a turnoon the Sooiety of tbe Holy Name of Brooklyn and < Long Island. About 2,000 men listeneed to this address He said in part: It is not what comes into a man's mouth but what goes out of it that counts. You cannot retain your self respect if you are loose and foul of tongue. A man who is to lead a clean and honorable life must inevitably suffer if his speech likewise is not clean and honorable. The future welfare of tho nation depends upon the way in which we can combine in our men—in our young men—decency and strength. There is no good of preaching to your boys to be brave if you run away; there is no good of your preaching to them to tell the truth if you do not. How often you see somo young fellow who boasts that he is going to •see life," meaning by th.it he is going to see that part of life which it is a thousand-fold better if it reaiain unseen. Unless there is a spirit of honesty in a man, unless there is a moral sense, his courage, bis strength, his power but make him a dangerous oreature in our life—a man, whether - Irom tbe standpoint oPour social or political systems, to be feared and to be hunted down. In civil life, the greater a man's aUlity, it it is not combined with the sense, tbe more dangerous that man as a citizen, the worse he is as a citizen. A man must be clean of mouth as well as clean of life—must show by his words as well as by his actions his fealty to fhe Deity and to the Savior. 0 • < * • * • Business Pointers. * LOST.

One of the jnain question discussed was the scarcity of teachers. It seems that there are several counties where it is impossible to secure enoagh teachers. We think one of the main reasons for this dearth of teachers is that they have gone west and north for positions where they can get better pay for the work done. The wages of the teacher in Michigan is low when compared with other states and the young man is foolish who will stay here and teach for $30 or $40 per month when he can with the same grade certificate secure $75 or $100 farther west, Michigan teachers are in great demand in the western states and while there, last year, we met several and knew of many more, who had secured their education in Michigan and went west to "grow up with the country" at a good salary. The only thing that surprises us is that as many remain here to teach as do at the wages given. ELECTED OFFICERS The following officers have been elected by the 0. £.

The pirates' furious entry was bloody and fearful to them. Five scoundrels In the first onset fell ba^ck wounded or dead, cut down or shot, two between the grinding sides of the vessels, the others on the brig's deck, where they lay. But neither were the pirates idle. Pope had marked his man. His first leap when he gained the deck—a truly noble, heroic figure —was for the commander of the ship. His opponent leveled a pistol at him full and fired; the pan flashed. He hurled the useless weapon at the head of Pope, who, dodging the missile, leaped upon the man, and before he could draw another pistol, Pope had cut him down. The unfortunate commander of the West Indiaman fell, cleft deep In the neck: his head was half off, and he dropped, a dreadful sight. In a breath Pope had attacked the mate of the ship; the man fired, missed, and was instantly run through, and all the time this was doing Pope was roaring out encouragement to his men and bawling to the ship's seamen to fling down taeir arms and they should be well used. All this while a terrible fight was being fought under the main-deck and about the forehatch. Several bodies dead or wounded lay about the planks. If Pope was animated with the strength of ten, Crystal certainly fought with the spirit and fury of five. He was engaged in murderous conflict with a gigantic seaman belonging to the Indiaman when Pope and Grindal bounding from the poop came rushing forward; at sight of whom, seeing that their captain and officers were killed, two of the ship's men shouted: "Quarter! We surrender,'* aud threw down their arms. Instantly the rest followed their example, but the raging pirates were for cutting down every man that stood before them, when Pope rushed among them shouting with twenty curses: "Back, you dogs!

On board the ship every female vanished; the commander, a short, MjuAre, powerfully built man, stood at fhf5 brass rail, which protected the fcrrak of the poop, shouting to his men t o vailj and repel. '"tturrend-er your ship, an>l we'll give y»*ft good-quarter," yelled Poi>e. wavfrtur his sword, *'Vott4U get no ship from me. We'll fight-1 you, you dogs!" roared back the omtmander.

And Crystal and Crindal helped him to drive the helpless survivors into the top-gallant forecastle, where they were secured. CHAPTER XV. Laura. Accompanied by the square man, whose face splashed with blood looked terrible with it, and followed by two or three of his seamen, Pope, sword in 1 ind, walked swiftly toward the cuddy. He was unharmed. His face was clean and red and hot, Upon his white clothes were some stains of blood. He passed through the cabin door and stopped. Standing, not one of them sitting, in postures more or less expressive of exquisite distress and terror, were a number of ladies and gentlemen. I do not propose to describe the ladies, because, coming as shadows, they will shortly so depart; they are but breathings upon the mirror of this page I am holding up. But one there was, and her portrait must be painted as she stood beside the shaft of tgtsftenmasjt, supporting her shoulder by it. She was a fine, gracefully built young woman, with a face 'le-very and wonderful in color; eyes and Jips; in the masses of her magnificent bladk hair; in the swan-Uke setting of her throat, so that each movement ot head had an inimitable grace of floating. Her flashing vision was upon Pope-,, •whd eyed her/intently a * . , h e jro: preached. * ^ "Gentlemen and ladies," **iA w coming to a stand half-way dowa the table, -'Hfcts Woodshed is not o l our aeeklng. That I have' told you. *$* are gentleme* of the liquid road and are at sea to make our fortune*, and toward; th*,t fqrtuna you must contribute. You will ail of you, with one exception"— he turned his eyes upon the young beauty, and tor mouth suddetoly closed and her lips tightened w4th an expression of fear and distress—"lay upon this table the valuables you have upon your persons, and I wogljd advise you not to withhold a shilling's worth of property, for If my man should take it into their heads to search you after you have disburdened yourselves and discover/' he Cried, raising his voice, "so much as a brass farthing reserved, it may go very hard indeed with the person who has cheated me," This speech foliowed by a general movement among the unfortunate passengers. They all made great haste to empty their pockets and girdles, and every few seconds one hand or another was stretched forth to place upon the table a watch and chain, two or three rings, a brooch, a purse, and so on. "Have you cleared out your pockets?" called out Pope, running his eyes over them. "To my last dollar," exclaimed one of the male passengers, pointing with a lean and yellow forefinger at the pile upon the table, and the others murmured to the effect that they had removed everything from their persons. Pope, in a voice of thunder, without stirring from the side of the table, called through the cuddy door to oho of the pirates, who immediately came aft. While he was ordering the man to make the heap of trinkets and watches upon the table into a parcel. Crystal, Grindal and several of the brig's seamen came into the cuddy. Now no sooner was Crystal in the cuddy than he began to stare with all h'is might at the handsome girl, who looked alsp very hard at him, and the face of each wore a singular Bub-expression of inquiry. In a moment the girl, putting her hands upon the table, said, in a sweet but trembling voice, "Is your name Crystal?" "Ay,' he answered. Then suddenly planting his hands upon the table as she had, and leaning eagerly forward, he cried, "You are ftotjgoiug to tell me that you are Laura?" ''I aiti Laura Crystal," she answered, holding herself erect and clasping her hands. "Jim Crystal's daughter?" She made the sign of assent with her head. "By heaven, Pope." cried the astonished man,, "she's my cousin's child; and she used to sit upon my knee when a little girl," saying which Crystal walked around tfce tabie to tier. He grasped her by the hand, pulled her more fairly into the light, and after gating for a few moments with unfeigned.,admiration into her face, ne cried out, "How did, you know me tn "By a look of father about you," she answered, "and by your naitte. But what are you doing here? What has this ship done that she should be boarded and her people killed and robbed? You are not a pirate, cousin?" Here Pope burst out. "Blame it all, Johnny, but introduce me, will ye?" "Pope, Richard Pope, Captain Pope of the pirate brig, Gypsy," exclaimed Crystal, and the handsome Irishman made the lady one of his most elegant bows. - She curtseyed in return, and said to Crystal, "Where is Captain Kerr? What is to become of us? Am I safe? Are the lives of the passengers safe? Oh, cousin, to find you-—there are ilttlc children among us." "As excitable as ever," said Crystal, grimly. He was proceeding; Pope broke in. "Depend^ upon it," he exclaimed with profound significance/"you are perfectly safe, and so too/* he added lightly, with a glance at the lady paisenger, "are the others." The sun was now close to the edge of the sea, and those are parallels where the twilight moves with giant strides, trailing behind it glittering robes of stars, when its brow is still burnished with the glory in the west. Much was to be done. It was a delightful task to talk to a beautiful young woman after days of the dreary monotony of the ocean, but the business of the two ships must be seen to, and Pope left the cuddy followed by the pirates. The two captains walked the poop of the W#st Indiaman, and a man hid been fetched from'the forecagtle Jo steer her. The skylight was spacious; its casements stood open; it framed** considerable portidii of the picture below. Laura Crystal sat almost directly beneath. Beside her was a child, whose hand she cherished as though aha sought to hearten the little creature. • "She has the most beautiful face of any .woman I ever met. in this world," says 'Pope. "Damn me, Crystal, how come v e by such relatives?" (To be continued.) , Experience With Broilara, From the Farmers' Review: To be candid, I wish to say my experience along this line is somewhat limited. However. I will give what little 1 know and trust it may be of benefit to some brother poultryman. In the first place, we must have the fight kind of breeding stock. Now it Is not what variety we like the best, bat the variety that finds the most favor in the market We must raise what the consumer likes the best. I believe the White Plymouth Rocks or White Wyandottes make the best broilers; for the reason that their pin feathers do not show as badly as do those of their darker-colored cousins, and therefore present a nicer appearance when dressed. Now, after having nothing but good healthy birds in our flock, we begin saving eggs for* hatching about the first of February, and, as soon as we get enough tc fill the incubator, we start it going. We have been reasonably successful with the incubator and much prefer it to the hen. The next thing In order is to see that the brooder is in good shape. We have an old house with a stove in it, so we can fire up in severe weather. There is where we put the brooder, cover the floor of the brooder with sand, and, about 12 hours before taking the chicks out of the incubator, light the lamp and heat the brooder chamber up to about 95 degrees. After the chicks are two weeks old the temperature need not be over 85 degrees. We hr.ve found that it is best not to feed anything for at least 36 hours, then give a light feed of rolled oats and a little sweet skiinmllk. For feeding the milk we use a tin can with a holo punched about half an inch from the top. Fill with milk and invert it in a saucer. This makes an Ideal drinking fountain. It Is best, in my opinion, to feed rather sparingly the first week. Then feed five or six times a day till they go to market Rolled oats, wheat and cracked corn are my main feeds, always feeding corn the last thing before they go to roost. I throw chaff from the barn floor onto the floor of the room and scatter wheat, and, once in a while, a little millet seed Into it. This will give the chicks exercise, which they must have to be healthy and strong. We have heard It said "Don't let the chicks have all the water they will drink." My experience leads me to believe that "they shouldliave water cohstantly before them. A little pounded charcoal and grit is also very essential. In eight or ten weeks we should have 2 or 2¼ pound broilers, and they should be marketed at once. There is good money in the business, but to run it on a large scale requires considerable capital. This we do not all possess; but we can all raise a few nice Juicy broilers for our own tabie and maybe a few besides.—Charles E. Niewold, Logan County, Illinois. — tmmmlm es •w •Wfr' t T o e O l d t o T i y .

The time of year is at hand when the surplus poultry is to be fattened for market. The usual way on the farm is to begin to feed corn to all the flock, regardless of whether they are to be kept for egg laying or are to be marketed. The hens that are to be marketed, also the young cockerels, should be separated from the rest of the flock and fed by themselves. The fowls that are to be kept do not need a large ration of corn. This is especially true of old hens, which will at this time of year lay on fat very rapidly if they have all the corn they will eat. As a consequence, they do not begin laying till late in the winter. It is impossible to accomplish two different results with one course of feeding. New Name for Teats. The girl who expressed so much sympathy for the poor farmer because of his cold job in harvesting his winter wheat is equal in agricultural knowledge to the one who expressed a desire to see a field of tobacco when It was Just plugging out.

Taxes Flnde a Remedy. < Fate, Tex., Sept. 21st.—Texas has seldom, it ever, bad such a profound sensation, as that caused by the introduction recently of a new remedy for Kidney diseases. This remedy has already been tried in thousands of cases, and in almost every -case the results have been wonderfaL. . " Henry Vaughan, of Rural Route, No. 3, Fate, says of it: "I suffered with Kidney Trouble for over 18 months. I was very bad and could get nothing t o help me till I heard of the new remedy, Dodd's Kidney Pills. I began to use these pills, and very soon found myself improving. I kept on and now I can say I am absolutely cured and free from any symptom of my old trouble. "I am very glad I heard of this wonderful remedy and I would strongly advise anyone suffering with Kidney trouble to try it, for I know it will cure." The nickel jingles as loudly in the contribution box as the $5 gold piece —and much more frequently. Allen's Foot-Ease, Wonderful Remedy. "Havetried ALLEN'S FOOT-EASE, and find it to be a certain cure, and gives comfort to one suffering with sore, tender and swollen feet.

Lawyers -were not popular with Pen field Flowers, the old hotel proprietor, ot as he preferred to call it "tavern keeper," at Delhi, up the State. MPent" was once indicted for selling liquor without a license, the liquor being his own home made hard cider. The judge had stayed at his hotel and all the members of the bar were " P e n t V friends, so it was generally understood that the old tavern keeper was to plead guilty as a matter of form and that the fine would be remitted. "Pent" received his instructions from his two attorneys, and when the time came for him to plead announced: "I sold cider." "Then you plead guilty?" said the magistrate. "Guilty, nothing." replied the prisoner. "I sold cider; cider that I made myself from my own apples." The judge hastened on with the case to prevent the old man from spoiling hi* own chances. "Well, Mr. Flowers," said her-VI understand that, though you admit the crime, you have since its com mission, seen the error of your way and are selling no more cider. So in view—" "Who told you that?" interrupted "Pent." "I sell cider—sell it every day, and I guess I'll keep on." "Fined $50," said the judge, in despair. Then the old man glanced around for his , lawyers. "Hey—just as I thought—skipped, both of them! Now what do you think of that?" turning to the crowd in the courtroom; "me fined $50, and they told me it was all fixed up with the judge!" A month or so after a lawyer, who had been the old map's attorney in another suit, cut his throat in an attack of melancholia. His estate sued "Pent" for teas, and obtained Juds> ment for $50. The old man, in spite of the protests of the court, deposited the $50 before the judge and made this announcement: "I want to say right here that there's always $50 waiting for any lawyer in the county that'll cut his throat.' —New York Tribune. Elaborately Engraved Utensil Has the World's Record. The most valuable knife in the world Is to be seen in the collection of a famous firm of cutlers in Sheffield. It is large enough to fit the pocket of none but a giant and eon* tains seventy-five blades, which close up like those of an ordinary knife. Each of the larger blades is elaborately engraved and among the subjects of these strange pictures are views of Sheffield college, the city of York, Windsor castle, Arundel castle, and a score of other famous scenes. The hafts are of mother-of-pearl, carved with great skill. On one side the artist has depicted a stag hunt, and on the other a boar hunt When asked as to the value of this knife, the firm replied: "Well, we calculated it up to £920, but that was before it was finished, and then we ceased to estimate what it had c o s t " -rue n t Men Teetify* 'Commodore SomenrUla Niebolaoe, of the United States Navy, in a letter from 1837 R Street, N.

Attorney Bill Barnes of Muddy Fork had filled nearly every other office in the Trigg County Court House, and now he was a candidate for sheriff on the Republican' side. Bill was good at politics, knowing just how hard to slap a man on the back, or to whom the bottle should be passed when electioneering, but he had made himself a bit unpopular with the bi«j negro settlement that occupied a bottom near the county seat by refusing to take a hand in a negro baptizing over at the pond, -and after a canvass among the voters of that section found them all to be really indifferent about hi* fielng elected. Some seemed not to care about voting at all ihe war things stood, and others talked ftke they might scratch the ticket for one time. Bill tame-back and bothered a good deal about, this, for it had always taken this big bunch of negroes to bring dow^tt Ifce"Republican side of the copies. ( B i l l sat around with his chin In his hands.la a dark study for a day or two, tiying to think of some way to make things tumble his way on election day. He had "win" $104 in an all-night poker same, and he laid this little pile of poker winnings aside for a campaign puipose, but it was a day or two before he could decide just what way he could make the $100 do the work among those 119 negro voters. Bill was a kind of a say-nothing genius, anyway, so he hustled around in a quiet way and got the full name of every negro voter in that settlement. The night before election day he had a large wagon running for several hours at full tilt. On election morning each of the hundred and nineteen negroes found stepping shyly around in his front yard a plump spring chicken, with a red tag fastened to its neck with blue ribbon. The tag bore the negro's name, under which was added: "I won't scratch the ticket; don't you. Compliments of Bill Barnes, candidate for sheriff."—New York Times. Yachts of Olden Times. The 4ruth of the old saying that there is; nothing new under.the sun h a s bqjn once more demonstrated hy the discovery of a model boat at least 4,000 y$ar# old, which resembles in many r^Rpects the racing craft of the present "day. This model boat was discovered in an Egyptian tomb.

There is no question now that the honor belongs to neither country, since both have unconsciously copied the idea from Egypt. Until a few years ago boat builders had never constructed a boat with a line of prow equal to that seen on the little model just i n - earthed. Racing . yachts of twenty years ago had no such lines. In Borne respects, at least, we have improved on the boats of 4,000 years ago. The Btern of the model is not so good as would be the stern of a model of a modern racing yacht Considerable improvements have also been made in steering gear. However, to all intents and purposes the boats used by river enthusiasts on the Nile 4,000 year*, ago were very mueh like the modern racers of to-day from the point of view of appearance.

Guaranteed by F. A. Sigler Druggist An Optn Letter to tbt Farmers of Livingston Co. Considering the great improvement made in agricultural Maohin inery, farming should be one of the most pleasant occupation. I t is however subject to many hardships and almost as much drudgery as in older times, and does not yield a greater profit than it did then. In fact farming has always been a business that afforded a living and not much more; the way to judge the farmers business is not to consider a brief period but to consider it as a life business. How much does the average farmer accumulate in a life time on a farm if he confines his operations to farming. This is what I ask the farmers of Livingston Co. to think over. Do you think you are getting your fair share of the present prosperity of the Nation, if not something must be wrong. I think farmers have more sen'ous problems confronting them than ever before. Farmers have to sell their produce in organized markets. Organized labor fixes the wage scale on the farm to day, organized manufacters of farnr machinery ancrtools fix the price for the machinery and tools, which the farmer is compelled to buy, in order to carry on his business— To sum up—Every business interest of importance in this country except agriculture, is under a complete system of organization and is carried on cooperatively. If co-operation is good for every other industry why is it not good for the farmer. There are plenty to cry ,"wolf" when you talk about organizing the farmer and they suggest plans to accomplish the same results. The Politican says, vote for our party and you will get dollar wheat and good prices for all crops and we will give you prosperty. A college professor said a few days ago. "I have abiding faith in Divine Providence to work out the farm problem," to those let us say: We have waited long on the political parties and they do nothing for us; and while we also have an abiding faith in Divine Providence, we believe "God will help those who help them selves." We have waited years on other classes to help the farmers. If you expect to get relief from outside sources, you will wait at least an other century and no person can imagine the degradation that will come to the rank and file of the present day farmers and their children unless something is done promply, and along lines that will be affective. If you depend on money powers, transportation cos., speculators, gamblers, and politicans to set your business on a safe and equitable basis,you will go from bad to worse. Instead of being called "Yap Rube," and "Bayseed," you will be real serfs, and without a chance to redeem your business. The politican and the money power would tell you that organization is good for all other business but yours. Don't believe them, they thiuk all you should know, is how to work 14 hrs. a day and the road to market and there will be a man there to tell what your stuff is worth and if you want to buy something another man will tell you how much to pay. It is clear from every point of view that what the agriculture business needs is organization and the people engaged in it cooperation— such co-operation as will secure an equitable price for every crop that ia produced. Faithfully Yours. GEO. G. WnrANS, State Organizer For The American Society of Equity. ' la tbe royal manufactory of It Meissen, Saxony, the work was tee* merly carried on with the utmost secrecy to prevent the processes from becoming known elsewhere. The establishment was a complete fortress, tho portcullis ot which was not raised day or night, no stranger being permitted to enter for any purpose whatever. Every workman, even- the chief inspector, was sworn to silence. This Injunction was formally repeated every month to the superior officers employed, while the workmen had constantly before their eyes In large letters the warning motto, "Be Secret Unto Death." It was well known that any person divulging the process would bo imprisoned J'or life in the castle of Koonigstoln. Even the king himself when ho took strangers of distinction to visit tho works was enjoined to sei- ivey.

It was jost after Lady Kiklare had spent two hours at the manor and held a private conversation with him. I took it that she had come to solicit a subscription of some sort and had «o curiosity about i t Lady Kildare wut a widow of fifty who still west muet into society, and she was reputed to b« s great schemer. When she had driven away, my master called me In. He was walking up and down the room with the gait of an ol$ man, and yet 1 saw at a,glance that he was aspiring to get the stoop out of his shoulders and the' stiffness out of his knees. "Tench," he said, "I'm going a-courtlng. Yes, I am. Lady Kildare is going to put me alongside of a handsome little girl who may fall in 4ore with and be willing to wed a sad old dog like me, and. if things turn out right you'll see a mistress at Brookhaven within six months. Sad old dog! That*a good, eh, Tench? What do you think of the idea?" "Ifs not for me to presume to say, sir," I replied, realising in a moment that his mind was fully made up. "I'm to go to the Cedars next week to meet the young lady, and of course yon wilt go with me. Yeu must do a little extra rubbing to get me ready, and you'll look after me when there. If you are asked about my age by any of the servants you'll stick?to flftyTflve, and you'll say I am as spry as any man of thirty." I never came to understand all the Ins and outs of the affair, but I learned enough to satisfy me that it was a put up job on the part of Lady Kildare to marry off a penniless niece of hers. It went through Willi a rush. The girl was fair looking and played her cards well. She wanted the old man's name and money even if she had1 to take him with them. On hie part, he fell in love with her at first sight,' and before a fortnight had passed their engagement was atmounceft. There were a deaen ottos ia the party at, the Cedars, and alsnost from the first I learned from the Butier that Captain Carew, who was one of the party, had paid Miss Hoatagoe marked attentions and that there would have been a match except for his poverty. On two or three oceastote durrng our stay without in any manner playing the spy I caugkt on „to eevtopal little things to convince me that t'he love affair was not dead and wonld not end with the girl's marriage, Well, the* wedding took place in two months, and after a trip lasting two weeks Sir Edward and his bride returned. She didn't like me, and I didn't like her, but I stayed en. Of course the old regime was upset and a new one instituted, and it seemed to the old servants as if we were standing on our heads half the time. After six weeks, in spite of all my efforts and the cordials of the doctor, Sir Edward could hardly hobble about and looked to be eighty. There were days at a time when he could not leave his room,, and the young wife treated him with ill concealed contempt. Jn six months Captain" Carew ealled only three times, and I had begun to believe the old love affair dead when the gardener informed me that Lady Edward and the captain had met more than onee of an evening in a certain summer house. I dared say nothing to master, at least until I had seen with my own eyes, and one evening I posted my sell where I could either corroborate or disprove the gardener's assertions. In my own mind I believed him mistaken. The young wife might despise her old wreck of a husband, bat I did not believe she would trifle with his honor and hers. On this night Sir Edward had gone to bed early after a feeble day, and he appeared to be sleeping as I stole away. It was a fairly bright night In midsummer, and I walked across the grounds to find a man and a woman, he with his arm around her, slowly walking up and down one of the paths. AR they approached me I hid behind a bush, and they passed within ten feet of me. It was the captain and Lady Edward, and they were talking of love. They walked on for perhaps twenty rods ami then turned to come back, and as they did so I felt a harili on iny arm, aud a voice said in my ear: "Not a word or a move, Tench. I have long suspected this, and I am here now to make sure," It was Sir Edward. I wouldn't have thougnt it possible for him to dress himself and walk the distance. I began to protest, but he cut me short "Not a word, I say, and don't mSvl an inch." We stood there like two men of atone. Sir Edward was rigidly upright and Arm on hie legs, and I believe I heard the beating of his heart as the lover* slowly came forward. Then they wers eotmctiy omostt* hs arspjiT out and at Oaptalsi Oaiww pots* blank, Mfere I oooM raise a hand he the pietoTon Mnwelf and sent a tartlet into his head. The belfet intended for fhe captain missed bin by a hair's breadth, though be staggered and fell, and Lndy Kildare went dowi in a dead faint At the coroner's inquest next day they called it temporary aberration of mind and suicide, and a year later the widow married Captain Carew. I could have created a sensation and a scandal, but I said not a word. I should have been £1,000 richer had I accepted the gift of Captain Carew sent me on bis marriage day, but I returned i t . M.

Bashful Henry Dorn and Jenny Kicks were standing on opposite sides of tbe fence that inclosed the Dovu farm. Jenny's elbows were on tbe top jsil, and her chin was in tbe palms of her bauds. Henry was standing a little Off. "Jenny," he said, "have y' beerd y'rt pap nay how his potatoes air comln' out this year?" "They're all little witl ^nighty few lu a hill." Henry put out one hand and rested It on the top rail very near Jenny's elbow. "Ours Is pretty good," he said. "Reckon we'll have a fair crop of 'em." "I bope y* will." Henry put bis other band on tbe rail. His position was face to face with Jenny, his bands inclosing her elbows. "Air y' afeerd of fallhV backward?" she asked. "Waal, it's kind o' humpy underfoot here. A plowed field 's no place to stand thout boldin' on ter somep'n." Notwithstanding Jenny's covert Intimation that Henry was edging rather close she stood her ground. "They say Mabel Haines is a-goin' to be married," she remarked. "Waal, thaf s nateral. I'd like to find some gal willln' to marry me." "I s'pose any of 'em would suit y'T*' "No, they wouldn't. The gal I.want has blue eyes, yaller hair and a mighty trim figure." "Half tbe gaJs 'bout here has bhie eyes and yaller hair,"._ "There's only one got the right shade for me." Henry continued to pull himself forward at intervals, each time drawing a trifle nearer to Jenny's face. T better stop that," she said. "Why?" "'Cause." Although Jenny spoke very mildly, she frightened the bashful swain. He leaned as far back as his arms would let him and looked at her dubiously. He saw no encouragement. It did not occur to him that Jenny might stand farther from the fence. But Jenny's mild admonition was her only effort to prevent his touching her rosy lips with bis whenever he had mustered the necessary courage. "Jenny," he sail "I brieve y're "No, I ain't. Y' wouldn't dare do that" •*Would r mlndr "Henesy Dern, y* Jist stop talkki' Tssut tich things.** Henry started. He wondered hew he oecitd have been so boW. He let go his hold on tbe fence and stood back. "Our brindle cow," he said, "had a calf last night." To this bit of Information Jenny made no reply. She dropped her arms en to the top rail and looked far beyond tbe easily discouraged Henry. "Y're mad at me fer talkln' about Basin' y'," he said. "I ain't mad about y're talkln' about klssin' me* she replied. "Y're mad from somep'n. I reckoned that was it." "What y' suy?" ' Henry repeated. "Ob, y're standln' so fer away I couldn't hear y'." Henry pondered upon this remark, and a glimmer of encouragement penetrated bis sluggish brain. He approached tbe fence and after a few Irrelevant remarks put his hands on the rail again, Inclosing Jenny's round arms, though bis were unbent, keeping him at a distance from the lips he coveted. "If y' think y' kia drive me away from this fence," she said, "y're mighty mistaken." "I ain't a-tryin'." Henry be«an a process of swinging backward and forward. Several times he approached within a few inches of her lips. She neither moved nor spoke. Finally the temptation was too great for him, and as a bit of metal placed too close to a magnet will suddenly click against It he got within an irresistible attraction, and their lips met Henry drew back abashed. "That was an accident," he said. "I wouldn't 'a' done it fer a quarter section o' land if I could 'a' helped it" "And I wouldn't 'a* had y' done it fer another quarter section," replied the girl, coloring. "D'y* think I want anybody to kiss me as feels that a-wayV" "Air y' goin' to forgive me. Jenny?" "No." The word was spoken in a very noncommittal tone, but Henry did not so Understand it. He stood very near the pouting lips that had tasted so sweet, and a bit of recklessness came to him. "Jenny," he said, "I reckon that if f air not goin' to fergive me fer takln' one I might as well have a dosen." To this Jenny made no reply. She looked out toward a barn that loomed up on tbe crest of a distant hill and waited. "How much madder would y' be if I took a dosen than if I took onef he asked. "Lots." Henry was beginning to discover that the penalty he moot pay for a kiss was not very stress. Jenny's Una were still pouting within a few inches 0½ his. and he was thinking If one kls*, had been so sweet that a dosen must pe twelve times sweeter. He slowly drew nearer and nearer, giving hot plenty of time to draw back. She did not move, and at last Henry was reveling in another kiss, though whether It was one long kiss or a tiosen short ones he nevor afterward recollected. That was Mie VMV It began.

Water Goea Farther at Ma-fct T h u Dvriuff a Hot, Dry Day. Moonlight lights at this time of the year are the best for irrigating. Water will go farther at night than during a hot* dry day. The effect on plants is also better when Irrigation is done at night. Some crops, such as beans, are frequently scalded by being watered In the beat of the day. Cantaloupes, especially after they begin to vine considerably, are easily injured by irrigation on hot days. The work of applying water to tbe fields at night Is very pleasant, and, as a rule, many of the neighbors who are Interested in the same lateral or ditch will not care to use the water at night, thus giving a larger head to those who will do the work at that time. On large farms where water is scarce most of the season two gangs are run regularly to advantage. One takes care, of the water during the day and the other at night. Where Russian thistles are numerous, as they are in most sections of the west at present, it is almost necessary to have some one with the water at all times when it is being run. Laterals, head gates and division boxes become choked with the tumbling weeds and require, frequent attention. If the irrigator knows the land well—and it is necessary for him to know It to do good worknight Irrigation can be practiced by the use of a lantern when there is no moonlight. Water hi too valuable and scarce to allow k to run to waste or without attention during the best hours of the twenty-four for its use.—Denver Field and Fawn.

Pope, I don't half like the action,'* aud now his face took on r< his chest. There was a faint look of pleasure in the gase that Mies Laura fastened upon him. !- She rose when she saw Crystal rise, and went to him. "What1' does he mean to do with us, cousin?" said Laura, detaining the square man by putting her hand, on which sparkled a ring or two, upon hia a n a . "He U. going to send the passengers and crew away in the boats, and then sink the ship. He means to keep you with us. I don't like his s c h e ^ . " says Crystal, with a darkening .rje. "It's inhuman to sink this ship. It's cruel to send these people and children away in the boats under this sun,, though I don't doubt they'll be rescued. But " and he swore so violently that Laura winced and recoiled, opening her eyes in horror at him, '*what does he intend by keeping you, a beautiful young girl, the only female aboard a footy old brig flushed to her coamings with the sons of hell?" "You'll protect me," she moaned, catching hold of his arm again and looking wildly into his face with a sudden desperate expression of distress and terror. It was now about nine o'clock in the morniug, and probably hy neon the men of the CSypsy would have shifted all they required into the brig's hold. Pope went i:p to Mi.s Crystal as she stood on d°<-k looking ahotn her. "I hope your mind is easy," says he in a soft vrk"\ "i vow to Cod you are in no danprr."

"But we will behavt like gentlemea to the last; a,nd i. am always on the eidfl of humanity." "What's the next .job?" HA blow-out for the paseaoseps, which I will see to," responded, Gaptain. Pope. "When the men have had their dinner, get the long-boat and the two quarter-boats equipped and plentifully provisioned. They shall have room and food enough. Not but that the grub will be wasted. They will be picked up before noon to-morrow." This said he ascended the poopladder and Joined the passengers, nearly all of whom were now up on deck. Miss Crystal immediately went to him with a slight bloom o n her cheeks. He looked « t her for a few moments with impassioned attention, with eyes whose adoration no woman could mistake for any other emotion, and while the poor passengers stood on the other side of the deck watching him and frightening one another in whispers, he in a low note told her the ftory of Captain Jackman and of that handsome lunatic's love for the beautiful daughter of a fiery-hearted commander in the Royal Navy. He said that this brig had belonged to Captain Jar-kman and that that man's scheme of piracy had determined him to Imitate it. He told her he was a gentleroan, the son of a clergyman, a man who had held commauds in the Merchant Servico of considerable figure. Why should he starve? Why should h T cousin Crystal starve? She t'oi!awcd him with rapt attehlion.

"9hen y e would send her adrift, fttiathan?^ says Pope in a tone of melaaohety. "i wouM leave this ship to swim, and give the people,, including my cousin, a chance for their lives. SObere's the third mate to take charge." ' "*No!'\ raaral Pope; "I'm captain fciere! I found the, capital, the expediciwi fa a t my expense, I mean to have t a r way!" he cried, with au oath.

"But no man will hurt you. I am captain of those frightful pirates. "But what dreadful waste of property, to sink so fine a ship as this/' said Laura. "Don't plead, I beg. My mind's resolved," answered Pope. "And what is to become of the people?" "They shall be well used," he answered, exhibiting no temper at this questioning. "My father," said she, "will be ahc»ked when he hears that Cousin Jonathan has turned pirate. And you are nearly always caught. How could you, Captain Pope"—with a look of earnestness and wonder that pave a sort of unconscious archness to her expression—"take to so base and vile a trade?" "Do not call us two captains pirates. We are gentlemen of fortune. We shall not be hanged. We shall retire upon our profits," says Pope, "and live in ease during the rest of our lives. And must not that trade be a glorious one that brings me acquainted with the first beauty of the world?" CHAPTER XVII. The Passengers Are Sent Adrift, It was a little later than Crystal came up the poop and spied Pope talking to tw6<^? the men beside the forehatch. Crystal came aft to Pope's call with some little s h o w of alacrity. The gaze that Pope fastened upon him as he Afptaaahad had. a t a t t a l n g alftg* lar in it. Jonathan, however, who was guessed the intentions of Captain i'ope. He muttered in a sick voice, "Qood heavens, open boats!" and plucking up some heart stepped up to Crystal, who still sat slowly chewing at the table. "We are to be sent adrift, then?" says he. "You arc." answered the square man, without looking up. "The women and children, too?" "Yes," growled Crystal. "Adrift," murmured the passengers one to another, "are we to be sent j adrift?" "It will kill my baby," shrieked the mother of the child, rushing at the negross and tearhig the infant out of her arms. The boats were in readiness. The long-boat lay rolling under the gangway; her mast was stepped, as were the masts of the other boats. Their yaiis were ready for hoisting and the provision had been so stowed in bow and stern as to nicely trim the little craft. "Mr. Crystal," sung out Pope, putting on the commander, "let the gangway ladder be got over the side. And the prisoners and wounded m u s t . b e got into the boats before the passengers enter them." , Crystal began to bustle. A cutlass was at h i s side, and a brace of pistols were in his breast, By this time, the refreshed piraies were all dressed and armed. The chief mate called to some of them, and they went to the forecastle. The door ran thundering back in its grooves to their thrust, and they entered. On the floor, starting to the greasy flicker of a lamp, lay some wounded men on mattresses taken from the hammocks; and standing here and seated there were the rest of the pri.=oners, some twelve or fifteen men. "Four of you guard this entrance," says he to his men; "you can leavo the door open;" and then u> Vit prisoners, "Up all of you on to your pins and file out." Any dreams of conflict and recapture which might have inspired the prisoners must have been extinguished by the first glance they obtained of the main deck, where stood, ranked abreast of the gangway, naked cutlas* in hand, with Pope beside them, ten pirates, armed with loaded pistols. Pope's cruelty in sending the wounded adrift was atrocious. It cannot be excused. Oue man was clearly in a hopeless way; any one could have seen that in the color of h i t face, and in the expression o t his eyes. As quickly as it was to be managed, the prisoners, wounded and well, were got into boats; the •wounded in one quarterboat with two or three of the well men, and the others were divided between the long-boat and the secaad qnarteY-boat * ""''*— : ^ * W T : .

At first we were held in reserve, but later were*in the very thickest of the fight and under the heaviest fire I «ver experienced in the army. We stood it tof a time and then the regiment melted away and I cut away on my own hfijbR: Near us was the embankment ot a railway from which the n i l s had been taken, and I made a dash for that iu the belief that if I could g e t over I would find shelter from the murderous fire still raking the field. As I came to t h e embankment the problem of how to get over beset me, but just then a shell burst right behind me and propelled by the resulting commotion in the air I went over that embankment like a bird. "But there was no depression on the other side, and I was as nmen exposed a s ever.

Dr. Stephenson, being active and more accustomed to such organizations, moved forward tn the work of organization. This is, as 1 think, the true history of the origin. If the Rev. Dr. Rutledge were living to-day, or Dr. Stephenson, either, I think the matter would be settled by those comrades "They builded wiser than they knew/' when they laid the foundations of the Grand Army of the Republic, Let us, their comrades, keep in perfect repair the structure they so fortunately and patriotically built came riding down to that neck of the woods to see what was the matter with hia Hne.

In 1802 seven companies were formed there, mustered into the service of the state and assigned to the duty of guarding railway property in York county. They were stationed along the Northern Central railway between, the village of Seven Valley and the Maryland line. When rumors of Confederate invasion would reach the border counties, the' 'young guards yotild be ordered out to protect the railway property.

At Cherry Point, Northumberland county, Virginia, is the grave of Izatis Anderson, who died Aug. 11, 1823, ege 44 years 6 months, and 12 days. His epitaph states that: "He w a s a worthy and estimable man, a kind neighbor, a faithful friend and a good citizen. In other relations of life he might have been equally praiseworthy, but he died a bachelor, having never experienced the comfort of being a husband and father. This situation he found so comfortless that in his last will he directed this stone to be placed over his remains, with an inscription warning all young men from imitating an example of celibacy which yielded no other eventful fruits but disappointment and remorse. Inscribed at his request by his friends." . He Knew Chamberlain. Gen. De Wet was recently asked by an interview what he thought of Mr. Chamberlain.

This was the unanimous vote of the national encampment of the Grand Army of the Republic at San Francisco, and goes to show that the old veterans who fought in the civil war for a united nation know a good thing when they see it. It also shows that although the comrades are growing old and feeble, their minds are still clear, and they have not forgotten the royal good time they had in the Hub thirteen years ago and the cordial welcome and lavish hospitality received on that occasion. . Everyone then threw open their houses to the honored veterans who tought from '61 to '65, and the same hospitality will be shown next year. Bostonians also went deep into their pockets to defray the expenses of that encampment, and so large a fund was raised that 20 per cent of t h e amount subscribed was returned to the donors after the encampment—something unprecedented, in the history of the order.— Boston Herald. claims Remedy is within the reach of I it is all that it is recom- \o be. 1 found it so, and there- 5 it my duty to tell others inaway of Benton, 111., uses Sidney Pills in hia regular and says they are the best for Kidney Troubles.

Lockjaw, or tetanus, is caused by a bacillus or germ which exists plentifully in street dirt. It is inactive so long as exposed to the air, but when carried beneath the skin as in the wounds caused by percussion caps or by rusty nails, and when the air is excluded the germ is roused to activity and produces the most virulent poison known. These germs may be destroyed and all danger of lockjaw avoided by applying Chamberlain's Pain Balm freely as soon as the injury is received.

Chaniberlain'i Cough Remedy, No one who is acquainted with its good qualities can be suprised at the great popularity of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. It not only cures cold and grip effectually and permanently, but preve its these diseases from resulting <in pneumonia, It is also a certain cure for croup. Whooping cough is not dangerous when this remedy is given, It contains no opium or other harmful substance and may be given as confidently to a baby as to an adult. It is also pleasant to take. When all of these facts are taken into consideation it is not surprising that people in foreign lands, as well as at home, esteem this remedy very highly and very few are willing to take any other after having once used it.

This amusing anecdote of LamarOne if related by the Baroness Bonde in tier volume of letters: Shortly after the revolution of February he wrote on the blank leaves of hie pocketbook the names of his protegees and sent the list to be provided with places iinnediately. Previously, however, it stems, he had scribbled "David" on the page, and the head of the cabinet appointed the said David consul at Bremen; the postulant, however, never oaxne forward,%nd, though the poet did "not like being disturbed, M. Herzei was obliged to ask who was the David on his list "He who danced before the ark," WM the answer. "Oh, dear! X htfvv gazetted Mm to Bremen P' "How very singular I I meant him for a subject for meditation, not for nomination. But yon can cancel it" The monlteur registered the change, but few knew that the last consul appointed to Bremen was King David! Dieting Invites Disease.

Henry VIII. would gamble away property and money recklessly, taking bis defeats with bluff good humor. On one occasion he staked the famous campanile bell of St. Paul's and lost it to his adversary, a Sir Miles Tartridge, who insisted on his pound of flesh and removed the bell. Queen Mary sometimes resorted to cards and was seldom more lucky than her father, losing occasionally even her lace eaps or coifs, which were worth a good sum. Charles II. loved basset and other round games and would play night after night and even on a Sunday till daylight, while singers entertained the company from a gallery. Even the cold William of Orange was a gambler and liked nothing better than to spend the day racing and the night playing cards. George III. detested cards and disapproved of playing for money, an aversion and opinion in nowise shared by his son and successor, who is said to have lost more than £800,000 before he attained his majority.

The great bank measures 540 miles from north to south, and from east to west it measures in places 800 miles. On this bank the depth of wntsr varies from 50 to 360 feet, but the l dopth around it is from 10,000 to 150,- 000 feet The fishing grounds—or "rod meadows," as they are called—da not cover the whole bank, but are about 200 miles long by 07 broad. Though these have boon ashed for 400 years the cod are as plentiful as ever. To the east of the great bauk lies the outer or false bank, where the sea is from 800 to GOO feet deep. The cod caught on the banks are finer and larger than the fish taken off the Labrador coast This is supposed to be due to the fact that they have reached the age of four years and upward, at which age their habits lead them to feed on the banks in preference to the shore, where the younger fish remain all the year.

ST mm COMM, prwwam pnmunomkk Chewing- D r y R i c e . **A strange way of testing the innocence of an accused person is employed in India," said a Philadelphia merchant who lately returned from Madras. "They haul the man up and give him a mouthful of dry rice to chew. I don't suppose you ever chewed dry rice? Well, it is hard work. It takes a deal of^hewlng to get it masticated into a glutinous mass like gum, %pd~ that is the condition that the accused is required to get k into within ten minutes. If you are calm and not afraid you succeed, but If you are nervous and scared you fail, for it seems that fear has a strong effect upon the salivary glands. It prevents them from secreting saliva. The mouth of a badly frightened person is always dry as a bone. It requires a tremendous flow of saliva to' chew dry rice, and therefore the scared prisoner Inevitably fails in this test It isn't of course a test employed in the courts of the big towns. It belongs to the interior, less enlightened villages." Saves Two From Death. ''Our little daughter had an almost fatal attack of whooping cough and bronchitis," writes Mrs. W.

When bartering, each sheep or ox or whatever they may be sell* ing must be paid for separately. If this: rate of exchange were at the rate of two sticks of tobacco for one sheep it would greatly puzzle a Dammara to accept four sticks for two sheep. Galton says that he several times paid them ia that way and that the Dammara forthwith set aside two sticks for one of the sheep, and even when he found that he had two sticks left for the other sheep he still bad his doubtB as to the genuineness of the transaction and was not satisfied until two sticks were put into his hand and one sheep driven away and then another two sticks given to him for the other sheep.

The man who speaks ill of a woman is either a knave or a cad. I would rather trust a woman's latuition than a man's Judgment. When a man makes love he is al- i ways interesting. At other times he j may be real prosaic. I Some women are so vain that they are never happy unless making mischief between the husbands and wives of their friends. | A man thinks his life ends at the i altar. A woman thinks hers is just ; beginning, and the hubby dear has to j get a gait on him to keep up the pace. I am always suspicious of one whom I hear spoken of as "so good." A woman who is "so good" is either too ugly or too uninteresting to be anything else. A man who is "so good* is either a fool or a pauper. A very small man may carry 8 big binich of keys. It is not on record that a prcttf man ever became great It is generally suppose 1 that every sot must have genius, if only somebody could find out in what way. Because he was neither a crank nor a bum some people find it hard to believe that Longfellow had any originality. The ability to talk Is the main thing after all. Caesr.r had to talk for the purpose of getting the Romans legions to follow him; Columbus had to talk until people believed in him; when Napoleon spoke the men of France rushed to his standard, and when Mr. Rockefeller looks out 'over his glasses and says "I want that," he gets it.

The onion la a vegetable of great antiquity, being found among the earliest of cultivated species. A kind of onion grown In Egypt 2,000 years and more ago was considered so excellent that It received divine honors, being worshiped as a god. This was considered a good joke by the Romans of those days, who, as well as the Greeks, were acquainted with several varieties of onions. It is likely that the plant first grew In Persia or Afghanistan. Garlic has been raised in China for thousands of years, and the ancient Egyptians made great use of it. No picture of it has ever been found on the monuments, but this may be because the plant was considered unclean by the priests. Telling- T i n e %y the Perch. The oldest system by which mei have told the time of day Is sundials. There are sundials still in existence since long before the Christian era.

TWO KISSES [Original.] There had been a quarrel, Indeed • succession of quarrels, which bad ended in the husband going away from bis home preparatory to a sepamtlon from lib wife. The terms hud been arranged by correspondence. They hud two children, a boy und a girl. The fa ther was to huve the boy, the mother the girl. The father had returned by appointment, and the business part of the affair had been transacted. They now approached the matter of broking the news to the children. "Cull theuj in," said the father, turning hiss back to conceal his emotion. "You go," said the mother, with a tremolo in her voice. "I must get through this ordeal with as little strain as possible or I shall break down, and to break down before the children would not only pain them, but be excruciating for us." "Very well; I will go and fetch them." He went out and in a few minutes returned with the little girl in his arms, the boy dancing along, holding to his father's hand. Both were laughing and shouting, for they bad been surprised in a romp. When the man came Into the room where he had left bis wife she was standing with her back toward him. "Maud," he said, "here are our children. I will explain to them as well as I can what is to be; then you can say goodby to Arthur." The woman still ftood with her back to him and the children. She waa striving to master her emotion. Suddenly, with an effort, she turned and said composedly: "Proceed." "Arthur," said the man softly, "yoti are to go away with me and live with me, leaving mamma and Amy. You will have to get used to living without them, for other people will take care of you, and you will have other playmates." "Who's to put me to bedtf" asked the child In wonder. "Well, my boy, some good woman will do that, and I will begin by putting you to bed myself." "I don't want any good woman to put me to bed. I want mamma. You don't know how to undress me, papa." The father knit his brows and, without making any reply, spoke to the girl: "You, Amy, dear, will stay with mamma." "And not have Artyr "No, my child. Arty Is going with me." The girl looked Into the serious face of her father, then at her sobbing mother, and an inkling of the truth crept Into her young mind. Going to her brother, she put her arms about him and said: "Arty shan't go away." The two children clung to each other, frightened by the Berious looks of their parents into a vague understanding j that some calamity overhung them, j The mother sank into a chair and burled her face in her hands. The fa-! ther leaned upon a mantel, the image of despair. The children, their young j faces clouded with their first serious trouble, glanced from father to mother,; wondering what all this meant. There was no sound except the mother's sobs.! Before husband and wife came the j same pictire. Was it thought transfer- j ence or because at this moment of their j parting their minds naturally fell upon j the moment of most perfect bliss that, either had ever known? They were ten i years younger. It was springtime, not' early spring, but the "leafy month of June." There were music and dancing within, and out on the piaeza where they had strolled Into the moonlight eame through open windows and doors the sound of violin, harp and flute. Her hand rested lightly on his arm, and he led her to a nook under an overhanging vine. It was there that they made up their first quarrel, there that he told bis story and there, secluded from the moonlight in the sound of a babel of merry voices, laughter and music, be took his first kiss. This ecstatic moment now stood out in contrast with the grim specter that confronted them, and for the moment each, shutting out the pjjesent, was lost In a supremely happy past. The mother felt a tiny arm about her. Then came another a little larger and stronger. She knew that her children were clinging to her. She looked down at them, then up into the face of their father, whom they had drawn toward her. "Mamma," said the girl, "don't let papa and Arty go away." "Papa," said the boy, "don't let us go away. Mamma, tell papa we mustn't go away." Tugging at their father, they pulled him down till be sank on one knee that he might encircle them. "Maud," he said, "those two little voices calling on us to bear and forbear for their sakes are all powerful. For my part, the angry clouds that nave enveloped us are dispelled by out children, who are suffering from our own Imperfection. Lot us wipe away the bickerings that have brought us and gem to the, v«rjoj^ paring and for the sake of air that make* worth living, parental and filial love; for the take of those two Innocent ones, for oar own takes, let us forgive and forget. I have been thinking of the kiss I took that night You remember"- "fitrange. I was thinking of It too." , "Let us take It again. We may not have with it that youthful thrill we had then, but i»it us remember that wo were then but two. while now we are four." In another moment father, mother and children were folded In one embrace. F. A. MfrCHBL.

I saw a very pnilietii- sight on Forbes street, sakl the ol) ^rvinj* young woman, and it made iiv smile. A poor foreigner— I can't tell you his nationality —stood on the corner surrounded by a big pile of luggage. He signaled to an approaching car, but the car passed right on. Motorman and romhuMor possibly objected to the load of freight. No sooner had the car passod than the young man burst out crying, and the tears rolled down his cheeks. It seemed strange to see a man act so. It was one of those stories which have no beginning and no ending. It may be that he had waited there Ion* and that no car would stop for him. It may be that he thought that that was the las* car that was going to his destination. I only know that he was a stranger in a strange land and that he seemed broken hearted and that I smiled to see a grown man in tears for so simple a thing.—Pittsburg Dispatch. Ca*a ft* Life P r e w r r e n . The fashion of wearing the hair In a cue commenced to wane in the latter part of the seventeenth century.

It appear*, s w » r * W occasional*/ they Wfxf 4 very important part of a gentleman's person, as may be inferred from the following complaint published in England at the time the fashionables commenced to cut their hair: "The bathers of Brighton complain bitterly of the trouble they have to pulling young gentlemen out of the sea since they have cut off their cues.

The passengers were assembled in the' forward part of the cuddy, and their pale faces could be seen from the quarter-deck viewing the proceedings through the window glass. This was a sorrowful sight Its pathos was heightened by the children, and the baby to the htack nurse's arms, and as the passengers descended into the boats,, the procession was rendered extremely depressing by the low persistent walling of the baby. 'Now< then, shove off, ray lads," shouted Pope. The-third mate, who was in charge •dt 4 b * longboat, in which a boat's compass and a quadrant had been liaced, ordered the big lug-sail to be hoisted, and in a few minutes the three boats, two of them under shoulder- of-mutton canvas, were sliding off UW the mighty solitude.

"Grindal," said Pope, standing with him in the gangway, "I am going to take that lady, who is to be my wife, you know"—he looked at him in his subduing way—"aboard the.brig. You will scuttle this ship, and that it may be a SWlft Job, scuttle her forward, aft and amidships. We'll wait for you-r-" "I hope you will," grumbled Grindal. Capt. Pope ascended the poop-ladder, and approached Miss Laura with his hat in his hand. "I'm going to ask you," he said, "to come-on board my brig with me." , She turned a little pale, looked a little frightened, and answered: "Where is your brig going to, capt. Pope?" <rWe shall cruise for some more money," he answered, "and then I Shall place a chart of the world before you. and you shall put your finger on the spot to which you would have me sail." She did not reply, but moved as baggage, and the movable furniture of her cabin, replaced It. Miss Crystal gazed with curiosity around her. What a dim and melancholy little Interior was this after the line cuddy of the Thetis! Just then Crystal came bundling in. His face was more than usually rugged, and determination lay in shadow, in an expression of violence about his brow, always darkened by its scar. "I have come to help you to see to my cousm, Pope," says he, in a stubborn voice. "Miss Crystal is safe in my hands," answered Pope, in a level tone, holding the bridle of his temper marvelously well. "It is not right, sir, that she should be here." said Crystal. "Madam, in the presence of your cousin, an old shipmate, one whose confidence I might have hoped I possessed," exclaimed Pope, in his most melodious accents—plaintive, sweet, thrilling almost the girl found that voice—"I appeal to you. Since the moment when my eyes first lighted on your beauty, have I failed in my bearing as a gentleman and a man of honor? That I am in love with you Crystal know 3; that I shall passionately desire to make you my wife he also knows. Does a gentleman, does a man of honor insult, wound, excite uneasiness in the lady of his love, in. the woman whom it is his impassioned dream to make his wife?" Laura was coloring superbly. Twice she lifted her eyes from the deck while he spoke, once to flash them upon him, and once to gaze a little lingeringly. * "Pope," said Crystal, "let me see to her cabin accommodation. This is a ship of pirates, and if you're in love you'll agree that she's to be protected as much for your sake as for her own." "John, you know she's absolutely safe; but you are her cousin. I love you for that, and you shall have your way," and, bowing to Miss Crystal • » * * • * W""W •SpMWWSfp '•'PHI-. ;•** " Y o u ' l l drop this matter, Grindal.' though to let him know she was treaxty to go with him. With all the gallantry of the buck of those days in the ball-room, he took her by the hand and conducted her to the gangway. The brig lay within the range of her own carronades, and after they had pulled a little distance, features of her grew sharp and distinct, and among other things Laura saw her cousin, leaning upon his folded arms ou the bulwark-rail, watching the v boat's approach. A number of the seamen, as well as Crystal, started at the approaching boat, which was rapidly nearing the brig; it neared, touched, swung to, and Crystal helped his cousin to ascend, Pope following. "Keep the deck and stand by for Grindal, Mr. Crystal," exclaimed Pope, giving him hi* name in a very lofty way, "till I show your cousin her cabin." "She's got mine," said Crystal. "So she has," answered Pope, "and you shall choose another. Be easy, J^in," says he, unbending and smil- . log. "Already we are a rich ship. Ay, by thunder! I could .even meet $fcaunton's paper. And how do I value my share of the plunder," he added, ojuiting one of his adoring looks at l^fljps,/little suspecting his men had* been discussing tWs very subject. He then, with a .courteous motion ol his arm, Indicated the companion- 'way*. The girl, with an intrepid glance at the square man, put her foot upon ^ the ladder, and the pair .descended. I! the booty brought from }he West Snien taA l^eir neaped • W *t*e fciAfe damn*. Crystal's berth. r*ad with a sweet smile, this extraordinary man went on deck. Grindal. in the heart of a little mob. talked loud and gesticulated freely, smiting his palm with his clenched list. Pope took no notice, and after walking the deck for some time., he went below into his cabin for a cigar and his fine telescope, with which to follow the departure of the Thetis. He heard Crystal talking to the girl in the next oa'oin, and strained his ear, even laying it againsl the bulkhead to catch what they said. Unhappily for the listener the brig was slightly pitching, and the groans of the fabric, its occasional squeals, the jar of the judder, and the noise of the wheelropes, troubled and deafened him. So he abandoned a hopeless effort, to light his cigar and pick up his telescope. When Pope quitted his cabin. Crystal and Laura were still talking. He regained the deck and immediately leveled his glass at the Thetis and saw that she was sinking fast. Presently Capt Crystal came on deck. Pope called to his cabin-man to light the lamp, and put a meal with tea and wine upon the table. "Has she gone?" says Crystal, looking in the direction of the ship, but missing her in the elusive light. "No," answered Pope, curtly. "Look at those fellows forward, Pope," exclaimed Crystal, folding his arms and speaking in' a voice that seemed to suggest an apologetic posture of mind. "I'd be glad to have her with us but for them. Since -she's com&*tato my hands I must fcbltfiayaelfanswerable to my cousin for-her safety and well-being/' ed #ere.- .... * At. tMa moment there WSJI t u o v t ment amontf Urt men about th*»gaK lay, and a number of them, -preceded by Grindafc came aft. Pope cams to a stand, and lightly puffed at his cigar with-an unmoved face. Crystal swayed on wide legs behind him. • "Captain," says Grindal, "I'm speaking for the men, likewise for myself. That there Thetis has been a tough job. Some of us being killed and others wounded." "Come to the point," interrupted Pope coldly. "All hands," says Grindal, "would like to see what they've got." "Look here," said Pope, if it's' fine to-morrow morning after breakfast, every article of plunder that now lies safe and stocked in my cabin, shall be brought up on to this quarter-deck, and all hands shall weigh and admire, and appraise; and we'll come to some understanding of the value of the whole so that every man shall know what he's worth already." "That's it," exclaimed a man. "Who'll do the valuing part?" "Draw lots for it, if you like, my hearts," says Pope a little contemptuously. "Leave it to the capt'n," says Bobbin. The instant pause that followed seemed, to use the language of the poet Pope, "To hesitate dislike." Then Grindal said roughly: "Very well. We're all agreed. We leave it to the capt'n. All that we want for to find is this—how much Is every man worth so far?" "We don't want no burying and aseeking of it afterward to . find it gone,' explaimed a very hairy pirate who, had daylight been abroad, would have discovered himself in Jack boots and a rather bloody shirt. "The men have been asking for ma to find out," said Grindal, "if so be as how you looks upon the young lady as a part of your share?" "Yes," answered Pope at once, unable to catch a sight of the expression of Crystal's face. "What price do you value her at/' continued, "if so be as how you've gone into it?" Pope could not help laughing. He laughed loud and continuously, and some of his men, tickled by his merriment, fell a-laughing too. "Why," said he, presently recovering his gravity, 'If you should turn to and read the Bible, which most of you have never heard of, and which most of you couldn't read if you had, you'd discover that the lady is put down as one of those females whose value is far above rubies." "What's she worth, captain?" said Grindal. "Give her value a name and deduct it from my share, and so reward me for the money I'm putting into your pockets," cried Z'ope, with an excellently- handled note of scorn in his delivery. "Let the captain have the lady," exclaimed one of the newly-entered men, "she ain't no blistered furriner, she'rf a relative of the mate's, and a countrywoman of ourn, and cuss me if it's proper that an English woman's to be talked of as if she were a negress." Pope, looking round, could dimly see Miss Crystal standing in the companion- way listening, "You'll drop this matter, Grindal," said he, ipproaching the ruffian by a couple of paces, and putting on his overwhelming manner of command, perceptible enough to the fellow who stood close. "To-morrow we'll bring the plunder on deck and attempt such a valuation as shall enable every man to understand what his earnings already are. Now go forward. Draw yourselves some cans of the Prussian's gin. and drink for such another piece of good luck as the Thetis." He then turned and walked straight along the deck to Miss Laura. C H A P T E R X I X . The Booty. Next morning was as shining as the splendid day that had vanished. At half-past eight the cabin breakfast was ready. Capt. Pope and Capt. Crystal awaited Miss Laura's emergence from her cabin. The square man was seated; Pope stood, and continued to stand untilshe came, when he saluted her with a low bow, and a look of helpless adoration. After some commonplaces about the passage of the night, the comfort of her cabin and the like, the conversation shaped itself thus: "When do you mean to give the men a sight, of the stuff they're craving to see, Pope?" asked Crystal, trying to speak in a friendly way. "After. breakfast/' answered the captain. "f wontier hqw much they mean' to value me at?" exclaimed Laura, coloring a little but laughing also. "And I wonder," Bald Pope, with a courtly bow, "what they would think if they knew-the price I put upoi you?" (To be continued.)

"Sufficient unto the day 13 the evil thereof."- Matt, vi., 34. Christ was, above all things practical. That was his marked chara-eteristic, the one which especially endears him to mankind, for it establishes between us and him the personal relations of teacher and pupil. 1 like to think of him as a friend who has all the resources of wisdom at command, who. is for some reason, interested in my welfare, who has ftrrnis'h'ecl me with certain truths which T could hardly discover for myself and m wfcich 1 can place as much confidence as the mariner on tempestuous seas does in the compass that guides him through storm and darkness. Surely he was well aware of the trials, troubles and sorrows, and uncertainties through which we pass, for they filled hiB own short career to the very brim. No man has ever suffered more than he did, and a<one has been pricked by as many thorns. And yet he calmly tells us to possess our souls in peace, not to anticipate the future, neither to worry about what may happen to-morrow; but to bear as best we may whatever burden is on our shoulders, and let the morrow take care of itself. He does not apeak <ot this as the better policy to pursue, but as an imperative duty imposed fcy the laws of the universe and by the God who decreed them. What does he mean by this strange utterance? Perhaps by searching we may find out Worry, to begin with, is useless. It produces no gocd result. On the contrary, it is utterly destructive in Sts -nature. So far from preparing you tc •overcome disaster, it renders you unfit to 'meet it. It debilitates the soul and robs you of the very strength which yo* pray for, because you see it will be needed. To worry is to endure an agony before its time and so prolong your misery. God says, "You must suffer pain to-morrow," and you reply, "Then I Will suffer it to-day also." Suppose that our faith was perfect. If our souls were in accord with the providence of God. if we really felt that a hand controlls events and that behind the hand is the heart of a Father; that what we must bear he will give us strength to bear; that if we are not masters of the situation, he is—-would not such a faith quiet -our restlessness, and should we not resemble the sea of Galilee after Christ said, "Peace, be still"? The element of worry would be well-nigh eliminated, and. with the feeling that whatever <s is right, we should borrow nothing from the future, but simply bear the present sorrow. It is profitable for you to so far anticipate tho effect of a given cause that yon prepare to meet it; but when yon have doae all that can be done. It is execefllnjrly unprofitable to so weaken yourself by worry that the coming sorrow is doubled in weight. As much as lies in your power4—and it is a quaMty of character which admits of great development—live in today. Cultivate a quiet and peaceful frame of mind. He did it and was undisturbed by threatening ciretunatance, and you may follow afar off. What yon are dorng now calls for all your strength, and if there is more to follow then ttie additional strength wlh be given. God's providence is hota wide and tender, and the more yon trust in k, the sweeter will be rr(::r llfoc tho brJghtor will ha y W wlU receive it. Could we hare more? Strsngth In Patience. Patience is really the capacity for and hab'it of enduring. It ra shown by the serenity with which* we submit to the annoyances caused us by others on the one hand, and is displayed In a wider and deeper sense by the fortitude which one exhibits In all concerns of life in good and bad fortune. It is an unfortunate characteristic of many energetic and really able, highminded men that they can not wait the issue of things; they are Impatient of delay, must needs see events result to their liking at a stroke, as it were, and therefore their efforts in. life end in disappointment to themselves and to others. Like the squirrel in the cage they make much movement but no progress. On the other hand, there is occasionally brought into high relief- - a patient man who grasps and holds in spite of the greatest obstacles a success so splendid that his endurance and the result of it are an inspiration to the world. Be Cheerful. By enduring a hardship cheerfully, or by accepting discomfort without a murmur, we may be of more real service to our fellows than by performing acts of ministry while we appear to begrudge the required effort, or while we ourselves are in an unloving mood. The way in which we do our most generous deeds is sometimes of as much importance as the deeds themselves. Many a child or man has been made more glad by the pleasant looks and -words of one who~had to refuse a requested favor, than by the reception of a desired favor from one who gave it with a sneer or a frown. The importance of the right way of doing good, in the line of giving or of withholding, should not be forgotten or undervalued. Charles Buxton says, in this line, "You have not fulfilled every duty unless 3'ou have fulfilled the duty of being pleasant." How does that apply to our service of to-day? Easy to Get. Pierpont, 0., Oct, 5th.~Remarkable Indeed Is the experience of Mr. A. S. Turner, a man now over seventy-one years of age, and whose home is here. For many years this old gentleman had suffered with a very unpleasant form of Kidney Trouble, a kind that very often bothers aged people. He would have to get up four or five times every night, and tbia very tiresome disease was fast wearing him out At last after having almost made up his mind that he would never be able to get relief, he stumbled over a medicine which relieved him almost immediately, and has cured him' permanently. It is so very easy to get and so simple that Mr. Turner thinks everyone should know of it. Every dealer in the country has it, and all you have to do is to ask for Dodd'o Kidney Pills. Mr. Turner says:— "I can heartily and honestly recommend Dodd's Kidney Pills for they cured me. ScveraL others in the family have used them too, and always with the best results.

A circunistantial_fi8h„8tory is told by the London Daily News. The captain of the steamer Benalder, of Leith, on a voyage to China, threw a bundle of old letters overboard In the Mediterranean. Some Spanish fishermen of Aguilas, near Cartagena, later caught a large fish, and on opening it found a bundle of letters inside. They took this to the mayor, who managed to decipher in one the name and address of the superintendent of the steamship line in London, and thus to restore the letters to their owner. Purpose in Suffering. Life is full of suffering ani pain, and these have not been put before us blindly or without care and sympathy. They are full of purpose. There Is a divine message in them If we will only read it. A loving discipline is locked up withon them as the sparkling yellow gold in the hard rock of quartz. God's hammer cf pain is but breaking with steady blow after blow the quartz to give us that gold. Especially on the young should we call to see these truths of God's dealing with the children of this great humanity of his. They should resolve to meet suffering bravely, not be whipped and scourged to It like coward slaves. The young especially have that power of resistance, that capacity for endurance o! suffering, if they would but see it, whjch may mold greatly their lives in God's providence find God's discipline.

No one who is acquainted with its good qualities can be suprised at the great popularity of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. It not only cures cold and grip effectually and permanently, but pre veals these diseases from resulting in pneumonia, It is also a certain cure for croup. Whooping cougb is not dangerous when this remedy is given, [t contains no opium or other harmful substance and may be given as confidently to a baby as to an adult. It is also pleasant to take. When all of these facts are taken into consideation it is not surprising that people in foreign lands, as well as at borne, esteem this remedy veiy highly and very few are willing to take any other after having once used it.

It is inactive so long as exposed to the air, but when carried beneath the skin as in the wounds caused by percussion caps or by rusty nails, and when the air is excluded the germ is roused to activity and produces the most virulent poison known. These germs may be destroyed and all danger of lockjaw avoided by applying Chamberlain's Pain Balm freely as soon as the injury is received.

A Peculiarity of Japan. "One of the strange features of Japan," said a man who lias lived long in that country, "is that all crops and fruits are almost certain to deteriorate. I have seen beautiful patches grown the first year from stock imported from the United States. The second year they were still fairly good, the third seaiou poor, and after that unfit to eat. Nothing in the vegetable world wotrldseem to retain its excellence for any length of time. It la a bamboo country, ¾nd everything reverts to the bamboo, ieautlful lush grass covers many a plain, and yet it givei no nutriment to cattle. Garden vegetables look as fine as any grown in the United States, but when cooked they have no teste. The flowers are of gorgeous hues, but they are without perfume. "But even with these imperfectioas it is a very interesting corner of the earth, and many things recommend it. ifl inhabitants are in their way a fine people. In the rural districts particularly the native* are the most honorable beings I ever met. In the cities they are sharper mentally, but not nearly so scrupulous." Saves Two From Death.

Burlington, V I , is obliged to build a larger jail to accommodate the criminals that are accumulating under the license policy.

I n prohibition Maine last y e a r there were behind prison bars 8 4 1 persons, or 13 for every 10,000 people in the state. Maine is t h e state where prohibition is no good. Massachusetts has the most rigidly enforced high license law i n the United States. Massachusetts had 7,451 prisoners, or 33 for every 10,000. There were thus three times as many criminals per 10,000 in Massachusetts as there were in Main. Have you noticed that in times of trouble they close t h e saloons without any trouble? T h e mayor of Omaha closed them the other day. Whenever there is a strike the saloons are shut u p air tight. That means that unconsciously men of all parties and convictions regard saloons as a menace to society. N o w if saloons are dangerous in times of peril, they are just as dangerous at o t h e r times. If they can be closed when public safety demands it, there should be n o trouble in showing that public safety demands it all the time.

Since Jan. .1, 1903, there have been organized In New York state about forty new granges with probably 1,600 members. It is but one .indication of what is going on all over the country. Androscoggin county, Me., which has for so long held the banner for the largest grange In the state, now yields it to Aroostook county, as Houlton has nearly If not quite 700 members now. An agricultural paper in Oblo offered a first prize In cash of $2,500 for near- i est estimate on total number of immi-} grants during last fiscal year. It was j won by Jesse Blackburn of Normal, 111. The last meeting of Dutchess county (N. Y.) Pomona grange was attended by 500 Patrons from the twenty-three granges of the county. Sixty candidates took the fifth degree at this meeting. What the Greek letter fraternity is to the college man, says an agricultural paper, the club to the city man, the grange is to the farmer.

No grange can hold successful meetings within the full intents of the Order, says Mr. George B. Horton, unless it secures or provides for itself a fixed and regular place for holding meetings. Said place should be such as to permit the seating and working of the grange In full form as provided In the ritual. If from necessity a grange is meeting here and there or in such place that the members cannot in fact conduct a real grange the members should consider it a first and imperative duty to the life of the grange to secure or build some kind of a structure which the members may call their grange home. This place may be ever so humble and entirely within the limits of the possibilities of the members to provide, but in and around it can be gathered and fixed the eri- 1 he A. O. H.

Hornier, of the Pere Marquette, was instantly killed Saturday morning near Breedsville in one of the worst wrecks'ever known on the road. About a dozen freight cars were burned and many hundreds of dollars in merchandise destroyed. Train No. 58. south bound, was run in two sections, l>oth heavily laden. As the first section rounded the curve Just north of the village, the ulr hose broke, setting the brakes on every car and stopping the train. A brakenian was sent back to day; the second seebut had not gone more than UQ car lengths before the englue was upon him. The curve prevented the engineer from seeing the danger until he was close to the danger signal, and then it was too late to more than check his speed. Engineer Dormer bravely stuck to his post, and when the engine plowed Into the caboose ahead of him the shock Was so great as to completely overturn it. burying him completely. When his body was recovered it had been shockingly burned, but it is thought he was killed instantly and did not suffer from the lire, which quickly enveloped the cars immediately in front and behind the wrecked locomotive.

The institution will comprise four buildings, in a generally classic stylo of architecture, and the administration building and two dormitories, to face Houghton avenue and Bliss park. The machinery or factory building will be a substantial structure and comparatively plain. It is thought the buildings will cost $00,000. or $10,000 more than it was at first thought.. It is also likely that a superintendent's residence will be erected at no distant date, this plan being thought preferable by some members of the board to that of providing a permanent superintendent's residence in the administration building.

He had finished ItretkfMtt and at sea, when a man ends his meal, he departs without a moment's loss of time to relieve the man. who has relieved him, supposing it to tfe his watch on deck. "A. pity you didn't sail in any other ship than the Thetis, Laura," said he, and with a glance at Pope, that seemed malevolent owing to the shadow with which his scar dyed it, he trudged up the short steps. "Crystal is not a good tempered man," said Pope, softly. "He is in concern about me," answered Laura. "I hare served kim woll," continued Pope, leaning back, and gazing at her thoughtfully. "He was so poor when I fell In with him in London that, in a few days, he would not have possessed a shilling for a meal. Probably his share in this voyage will already work ont at considerably over a thousand poands—I include a certain draft which Is sure to be honored. I accepted all the risks. I burdened myself with a painful memory, I found him a comfortable berth, and offered him a share in my fortune, and how does he repay me? He dislikes that I should even admire you—you, madam, who arer so admirable that no man could behold you without adoration." Her cheeks were burning, but certainly not with displeasure. And now he exhibited great tact, for though he was alone with her he made no at- • tempt to press himself, though I will not say that this might not have been owing In a small degree to the accident of his casting his eyes up to the skylight, through which he beheld a number of surly, irritable, impatient, piratic faces staring down at him and the girl. When everything had been conveyed on deck. Pope lighted a cigar and followed tho men. He found all hands assembled. The plunder had been heaped between the skylight and the wheel, and companionway, "May I come on deck?" "An instant," roared Pope. He caught the bell and shouted, "Strike the bell eight" "Eight bells," echoed Crystal, and while a pirate hammered eight silvery chimes out of the throat of a little green bell that hung close abaft the foremast, Capt. Pope went along to Laura Crystal. "It is good to breathe this air after the atmosphere of the cabin," she ex* claimed, "and it is dull downstairs." Before Pope could answer, Crystal trudged up. Pope paused a moment to look around the sea, and in that pause Laura's eyes rested upon his fine face, and Crystal noticed the look. The square man put down his quadrant, and he and Laura fell a-pacing the deck, Pope descending. The cousins walked tho deck for a little while in silence. Crystal then suddenly said, screwing his eyes into the extremity of their sockets so as to observe the girl without turning his head: "What d'ye think of Pope?" "He's a very gentlemanly sailor," she answered, -with a slight smile. "He's much too handsome, dignified, and well-bred to be a pirate." Crystal's mouth widened in a grin, but there was little or no mirth in the grimace. "I hope," says he bluntly, now turning his head to look at her fully, "that you're not going to fall in love with him. Eh! is it so? Has his blarney bitten ye already?" He paused, breathing hard. "Curse me," he continued, "if Jonathan Crystal is going to let any relation of his marry a pirate." "Why not?"" said Laura coolly. "The Crystals are a respectable old family and pirates are hanged," said Crystal in a low note. "Aren't you a pirate." cried the beautiful girl, "and aren't you likely to be hanged?" "No," roared Crystal in a tone that "This wit! save the Crystals from disgrace!" the pirates made a considerable crowd on either hand of it. Pope, smoking a cigar, walked up to the pile of stuff, thus stationing himself between the mobs of men. He said: "My lads, all that we have taken so far is here. There is gold in those cases. No call to count the coins. We know to a shilling by the ship's papers what the amount is." Sitting down on one of the cases, he palled out a notebook and a pencil, and his men watched him in silence while he made certain calculations. "I will not give you his figures; to tell the truth I do not recollect them. I believe that he reserved one-tSird of the money for himself and brig, giving Crystal a fourth of the remainder, and the rest to the men in equal portions, without regard to ratings. %The old man who told me this story was not very clear on this head. When Pope had called out the figures aloud, Htandins up to do so, and looking about him with a face of iron, he cried out. "You are satisfied, I hope?" "Who's a-going to make the valuation?" exclaimed a pirate, impatiently. "The capt'n—who else could?" says Bobbin, in the crowd, adding instantly, "always begging of Mr. Crystals pardon." . "Let's shove ahead, then," says Pope. It was noon before the worth of the things had been summed up. The malt bags had Tiol been opened. Pope broke off to tr».e sights with Crystal, -a^d the men went below to dinner, two remaining to sentinel the booty. A melodious voice sounded in the caused the evil-eyed helmsman to start and stare. "See this! 'tis this that will save the Crystals from disgrace," and he whipped a pistol out of his breast. "You frighten me more than ever Capt. Pope does," said Laura, who had turned a little pale, though she spoke steadiiy. "I would rather be protected by him than by you. You're in a bad temper and look terrible. Capt. Pope is all goodness and consideration, and I'll go downstairs until you make me feel easy in your company;" and down she' went, to the amazement of the square man, who stood rooted, but swaying on his strong legs watching her sink through the hatch. The cabin man was preparing the table for dinner. Laura sat down upon a locker and sank into thought. On a sudden Pope's door opened and the captain stepped forth. He started with a look of transport on beholding her, and instantly approached and seated himself at her side. He made as if he would take her hand, checked himself, but self-restraint fired his cheek with blood, and she thought he looked handsomer than she had ever before seen him. "Is not all that booty I have been looking at upstairs enough for you?" said she. "Enough for m e ; But there are others." "What will be your share?" "Say two thousand pounds," he answered, smiling at these inquiries, which were made charming to him by the beautiful face he looked at. "Can you make the rest satisfy the men, so as to end this voyage and save your Uvea?" touched," said h* in his sweetest man ner, *th*t you. should feel anxious about my safety This was significant, and so, were her blushes; but if Pope at this-moment intended to make love, his passion must be hindered by the intrusion of a round of salt, boiled beef. In fact, the cabin dinner was ready. Crystal was called, Grinclal was shouted for and took charge, and the two captains and the young lady seated themselves. It was plain from Crystal's face that he continued in a bad temper. Though Pope could not but cast from time to time an adoring glance at Laura, he refrained from making direct love to her under Jonathan's nose. When they were seated Pope said: "Miss Crystal is uneasy about you and me, Johnny; she would have us end the voyage before we're captured and hanged. I have told her that we are not yet rich enough." "She need not trouble herself with, fears of our being hanged," said Crystal; "depend upon it in my death 1 shall not disgrace those who bear my name." "How long is this voyage going to last?" exclaimed Laura. "Long enough to satisfy the purpose of it," replied Pope. "I am here to make my fortune. I have made no fortune as yet; nothing under ten thousand pounds will satisfy me. If Capt. Crystal Is dissatisfied let him take his share and I'll shift him into the first ship we signal." ^My Crystal. "Does she? does she?" exclaimed Pope. Then growing sensible that his power of self-restraint was abandoning him, he sprang to his feet and, making Miss Laura one of his courtliest bows, went up the companionsteps, carrying himself with a grace which the girl thought no man, had ever surpassed. "All the same," says Crystal gloomily and sullenly, "if I shift, as he calls it, you shift with me." "You are not grateful, you are not even gracious," she answered. He said, with an oath, "You are in love with him." On which she rose and went to her cabin. Crystal finished his dinner. It was not yet three bells; he drank two strong tumblers of rum and water, then joined Pope on deck. Half a score of the pirates had collected about the stuff. The rest of the crew were at this time slowly coming torward though three bells had not been struck. Pope stood with folded arms gazing down at the mail bags, but it was sure his thoughts were not with them. Lifting his eyes, he saw Crystal, and without the least menace of manner, though without any hint of • cordiality, either, he put his hand \ upon the rugged man's shoulder, and j drew him to the rail away from the | listeners. | "Ye don't want to go adrift, John?" "Not without my cousjn." "See here," says Pope, taking a step so as to command Crystal's face. "My father, who was a clergyman of the Church of England, used to say, the priest tells the parson, if you do not believe in my church you must go .to hell. And my father would say the parson's reply would be, if you do not believe in my church you must go to hell. For every man has a right to his own opinion, Johnny, and if you don't like mine, say the word. Pocket your share," says he, pointing to the litter of stuff, "and I'll put ye aboard the first ship we see." "You'll put us aboard?" says Crystal savagely. "By ," and here Pope swore, "I'd cut your throat first, man, yea, even as you slept, before I parted with her. She's my booty. She's my prize. She loves me." He rounded on his heel and walked away to the pile of plunder, and Crystal at the rail watched him under the shadow of his scar with his brain fashioning a scheme whose one primary and essential feature was—and he was not too drunk to conceive it— that he must stick to the brig. Avowing Milk F«t«r. When pasturage is not available succulent food, such at silage, is very desirable for breeding animals, more so, of course, for cows than horses, as it helps to keep the system relaxed and does not produce an undue amount of fat, says Professor A. M. Soule. Milk fever, or what Is generally known as parturient apoplexy, Is one of the most dangerous diseases with which the breeder has to contend, and it is more likely to occur when the breeding animals are fed on dry roughness and rich meals, such as corn meal and cottonseed meal. These feeds rather tend to produce a fevered condition of the system; the dry roughness has rather a binding effect and the meals mentioned produce too much fat, and where they are fed without discretion the trouble mentioned is most likely to occur. While the disease can and has been successfully treated by the Schmitt method, in the experience of the writer (which has been considerable) it leaves the cow's nervous system in a very bad condition. In fact, in nearly all instances within the knowledge of the writer it has permanently injured the milk flow and the cows recovering from the treatment have never been anything like »as valuable for dairy purposes afterwards. As this trouble can be obviated in a very large meascousin goes with mo," said \ur® b X using proper, care in feeding the cow, the Importance of giving more attention to this matter becomes apparent. Even when succulent foods are available only a small amount of grain should be fed io?medlately before parturition, and this had best consist of wheat bran. Previous to this time a limited amount of cottonseed meal and wheat bran, and even a small amount of corn meal can by fed with impunity to advantage. While the bran may be used in the ordinary condition in warm weather, in cold weather it is frequently an advantage to use it in the form of a mash, and it is also well to give two or three liberal doses of salts. Should the uv'^er of tho cow become very large before calving, it should be carefully milked out and kneaded and worked with every day, so as to prevent inflammation and caking cf ths u«uer.

In connection with the New York Sanitarium at Clifton Springs, they have established a model creamery, from a hygienic standpoint. All milk, for whatever purpose designed, whether to bo consumed as milk or cream, or whether to be made into icecream or butter is to be pasteurized. The hygienic features begin with the buildings, which are so constructed that they can be, and are kept, absolutely Clean. The milking is done in such a way that bacteria and all germs are practically excluded. Perfect sanitation in the building enables them to guarantee absolutely pure milk. The handling of the milk from the time It is taken from the cow, until the finished product is ready for use, is also done in such a manner that it is a pleasure to the consumer to use the goods, not only because of their extremely fine quality, but the fact of their being produced in so e'eanly and sanitary manner gives them an added flavor.—Elgin Dairy Report. CHAPTER XX. The Mails. It was now for Pope to open the mail bags and examine their contents. Crystal left the bulwarks, against which he had been leaning, and drew close. There were several bags of malls, and each was stuffed full. The contents consisted of letters, newspapers, little parcels, and the like. The letters which contained nothing but writing were flung overboard. One stout envelope^ in the third bag that was opened, secured by tape and green sealing wax, was found to contain a flat packet of small diamonds. Some bills of exchange were met with. Bank notes of the value of six hundred pounds. Sundry small packages contained articles of jewelry. (To be continued.) A pauper In the right is btftar ttaK a roKJlonalre in Uw w<rng.

They are as follows: Greece, 360,000; Italy, 5,000,000; Portugal, 625,000; Roumania, 2,589,000; Russia, 35,916,857; Spain, 2,217,659. It is probable thai in most of these countries the cow population is 50 per cent of all. The land best adapted to the cucumber is a moist, warm, light, sandy loam; although sandy soil is not so productive, the finest and earliest cucumbers may be f^-own on it if highly and properly lertilized.

M. de Saint Ouen de PlerrecouTt, an eccentric French millionaire, died a short time ago and left the greater! part of his fortune to his native city, Qt Rouen, stipulating that the municipality was to found an annual prize of $20,000 as a dowry for a giant and a giantess in order to regenerate the human race. An amicable arrange-; ment has now been made between the heirs and the city of Rouen. The family attacked the will on the ground that the "giant clause" was impossible of execution. By the arrangement now made the city of Rouen will pay the heirs $600,000, while out of the residue it undertakes to found an undertaking, "inspired by the idea of protecting, preserving and improving the human race, but which shall not cost more than $160,000." The details of this undertaking have not yet been divulged. Manager Is Sent to Jail.

An active brain worker who found himself hampered by lack of bodily strength and vigor and could not carry out the plans and enterprises he knew how to conduct was led to study various foods and their effects upon the human system. In other words before he could carry out his plans he had to find a food that wouH carry him along and renew his physical and mental strength. He knew that a food that was a brain and nerve builder, (rather than a mere fat maker), was universally needed. He knew that meat with the average man does not accomplish the desired results. He knew that the soft gray substance in brain and nerve centers is made from Albumen and Phosphate of Potash obtained from food. Then he started to solve the problem. Careful and extensive experiments evolved Grape-Nuts, the now xamous food. Grape-Nuts contain the brain and nerve building food elements in condition for easy digestion. The result of eating Grape-Nuts daily is easily seen in a marked sturdinesa and activity of the brain and nervous system, making it a pleasure for one to carry on the daily duties without fatigue or exhaustion. The food is in no sense a stimulant hut is simply food which renews and replaces tho daily waste of brain and nerves. Its flavor is charming and being fully and thoroughly cooked at the factory it is served instantly with cream. The signature of the brain worker spoken of, C. W. Post, Is to be seen on each genuine package of Grape- Nuts.

A name that starts terror in the heart .- • of every Spaniard. A man of steady nerve, clear head, undaunted courage and prompt decision. Approached by a friend recently* his opinion was asked as to the efficacy of Peruna, the national catarrh remedy. Without the slightest hesitation he gave this remedy his endorsement. It ap peared on later conversation that Peruna has been used in his family, where it is a favorite remedy. Such endorsements serve to indicate the wonderful hold that Peruna has upon the minds of the American people. It is out of the question that so great and famous a man as Admiral Schley could have any other reason for giving his endorsement to Peruna than his positive conviction that the remedy is all that he says it is. The fact is Peruna has overcome all opposition and hat won its way to the hearts of the people. The natural timidity which so many people have felt about giving endorsements to any remedy is giving way. Gratitude and a desire to help others has inspired thousand* fit people to give public testimonials for Peruna who heretofore would - ot have consented to such publicity. Never before in the annals of medicine has it happened that BO many men of national and international reputation have been wifiing to give unqualified and public endorsements to a proprietary remedy. No amount of advertising could have accomplished such a result. Peruna has won on its own merits. Peruna cures catarrh of whatever phase or location in the human body. This is why it receives so many notable and unique endorsements. Address The Peruna Drug M'f'g Co., Columbus, Ohio, for free literature on catarrh. An Overbletsed Father.

Franksville, Wis., Oct. 12th.—Many remarkable cures are being reported from all over the country but there 1¾ one right here in Franksville which Is certainly worth publishing, and which has not as yet been given to the public. Mrs. Louis Markison of this place had been a sick woman for quite a long time and could not find anything to give her any help. She suffered all the painful symptoms of what is generally known as female weakness. Every woman who reads her story will understand these distressing conditions which combine to make the lives of many women one long bur- .den of weakness and suffering. Mrs. Markison chanced one day to hear of a new remedy called Dodd's Kidney Pills, that was said to be a splendid medicine for women's weakness. She determined to try some and soon found herself getting better. She kept on with the pills and was cured. Speaking of her case, Mrs. Markison says: — "I can and do praise Dodd's Kidney Pilla as a remedy for female weakness. They are the best medicine I have ever known, and have done me 8 creat deal of good." Injurious to the Eyes. Looking Into the fire is very injurious to the eye, particularly a coal fire. The stimulus of light and heat united soon destroys the eyes. Looking at molten iron will soon destroy the sight. Reading in the twilight is injurious to the eyes, as they are obliged to make great exertion. Reading or sewing with a side light injures the eyes, as both eyes should be exposed to an equal force of light.

Work of Historian Klopp. Onno Klopp, the historian, who died recently in Vienna, at the age of elghc7-one, wrote perhaps the longest history of the Stuarts In existence. He was In the service of the King of Hanover, till 1866 and was marked for his bitter hatred of the Prussians. That prevented his completing his edition ot Leibnitz's works, as the Prussian government, after the war, refused to let him consult the library and archives at Hanover, where the Leibnitz manuscripts are.

No one who is acquainted with its good qualities can be so prised at the great popularity of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. It not only cures cold and grip effectually and permanently, but. preveuts these diseases from resulting in pneumonia, It is also a certain cure for croup. Whooping cough is not dangerous when this remedy is given. It contains no opium or other harmful substance and may be given as confidently to a baby as to an adult. It is also pleasant to take. When all of these facts are taken into eonsideation it is not surprising that people in foreign lands, as well as at home, esteem this remedy very highly and very few are willing to take any other after having once nsed it.

Lockjaw, or tetanus, is caused by a bacillus or germ which exists plentifully in street dirt. It is inactive so long as exposed to the air, but when carried beneath the skin as in the wounds caused by percussion caps or by rusty nails, and when the air is excluded the germ is roused to activity and produces the most virulent poison known. These germs may be destroyed and all danger of lockjaw avoided by applying Chamberlain's Pain Balm freely as soon as the injury is received.

What would be the matter of making such a law regarding the one who drives an automobile at a rapid rate when he not only does not understand the "thing" very well but does not know the road. It is certainily criminal carelessness. Miss Clifton, who lives near Dansville, is addicted to the eating of salt She said that for nine years she had been eating it, and could sit down to a quart bowl of it and eat it ail. It not only satisfied her hunger, but also quenched her thirst. A handfnl of salt was as satisfying to her.as a glass of water, and if she could have all she wanted she cared for little else. A short time ago she was taken sick and She said, she was taking the gold cure for salt. WE SEE NO DIFFERENCE Once in a while the City paper will try to make little of the items that appear in the local papers. The big city paper fills its place but never can take the place of the little home paper. Well, they may poke fun at the conntry weekly as they will, but we fail to see why the fact that a resident of Pinckney has lately bought the place of another resident and intends to move into it, may not be as well worth chronicling in the local paper as the fact that the dog of a famous actress died on the steamer is worth two-column pictures and a half column description of it in the city dailies. Blamed if we can see much difference in merit between a poodle dog editorial in a city daily and a "big cabbage laid on the desk of ye editor' ot a country weekly. m m » AFTER A TITLE. Geo. Reade, of Webster is now in England to claim the baronetcy of Shipton court. Says a dispatch to the Chicago Record-Herald: "He found Shipton Court in possession of the heirs of Joseph Wakefield, who in 1873 was footman to Sir John Reade, the grandfather, seventh baronet. He obtained evidence that the estate was deeded to Wakefield by Sir John Reade because of knowledge which Wakefield bad of the murder by Sir John of Linden, his butler." There was always something mysterious about Sir John Reade, who lived in Webster, coming to this conntry. That he was a direct descendant ot one of England's nobility there has never been any doubt as the proofs were too authentic to deny. Saves Two From Death.

Dr. WHlard barker, who for many years stood at the head of the medical profession in New York city, said: ''One-third of all the deaths in New York city are caused b y alcoholic drinks," General Sheridan once asked what temptation he feared most for his boy. He answered, "It is the curse of strong drink. 0 , I would rather see my little son die to day than see him carried in to his mother drunk?" Why so much violation of law? Reason No. 1 is that the hungry brewers are so eager to sell their beer that any kind of a man can come to this city and secure a saloon. All he needs is the month's rent The brewer gives him the lioensey the fixtures, e c t , ect. The man has nothing invested, and he starts to make all the money he can, in as short a time as possible. H e keeps open after hoars, puts in slot machines, and in other ways violates the law. As long as he keeps selling beer the brewer won't kick. When he finally goes to far and is caught, the brewer has no further use for him. They close the store snd wait for another dupe to come along, when the same performance is repeated. There are hundreds of stores in this oity ran on the above plan.—Liquor Trades' Review.

' There is a "dry" doe in the woods of Price county, Wis., which owes her life to the fact that she is sot afraid of a light This sort of deer is occasionally found by jack-hunters, but not often. Two men went out alter deer along the north fork of Flambeau River last week. They were using a flat-bottomed boat, heavy and clumsy, and one of them drove it with a pole. At half past 10 o'clock they saw a buck. That is, they caught a glance of his eye as he slewed his head around and looked at them over his shoulder preparatory to leaping to bank. He started in half a second and the powerful carbide lamp showed just enough of him to expose his horns as he went. An hour later they rounded a bond and the doe stood in full view. She was in prime condition, fat and sleek. She was not more than twenty yards distant and threw her head up and glared at the light as soon as it came within range. It is possible that the brightness of its rays blinded her. The wind was blowing from her to the hunters so she could not scent them. The man who was poling dropped the long pole, sat down and took up the paddle. The boat continued to advance and the deer to stand still. It crept on foot by foot and she betrayed no nervousness. Now and then she thrust her nose far upward, turned her head to one side and expanded her nostrils in the effort to sniff the j scent of the approaching party, but flight did not occur to her. The boat got within twenty feet of : her, then within ten feet Another ' stroke of the paddle and it would have been upon her. Then she turn- : ed toward the bank and walked slow- ; ly away. Twice she stopped and look- \ ed back at the light; once she stop- \ ped, gathered a mouthful of wateri grass and chewed it. Still at a walk. ; never hurrying even into a slow trot, ' she went up the bank and disap- ; peared. I All this time there had been a man ' sitting with a high-power rifle just j hehind the light He wanted deer I meat badly, and could, of course have \ blown a hole through the animal if he i he had been so minded. In fact, he ! could have knocked it down with the ! guide's pole which lay in the bottom : of the boat. He said afterward: 'j "I could not shoot.

Pay your Subscription his month [Original.] "Oh,. Mr. Feiary," said Miss Garland When I called, "1 aui so glad you've come. Do you know, there's to be a raffle for the beiteiit of the orphan asylum, und the ladies of the committee kave assigned me fifty chances. If the articles to be raffled were for women I could get rid of them, I'm sure, but since they are a man's chronometer watch and chairi^i don't know what to do. 1 can't go among men asking them to take chances." "I'll be happy to take one of then." "That's very kind of you. Now, couldn't you think of some plan for placing the whole lot at one timer** "That would be a pretty big contract Host men have watches with which they are satisfied." "Don't yon think that some man could be found to do it? Or two, or three—any number?" "I don't know any person or persons whom I would ask." "Can't you think up some privilege to go with the chances—something that would be an honor rather than of intrinsic value?" I remembered Lady Godiva. Of course that wouldn't do in modern times, but it set me thinking. Finally I hit on something. The only trouble about It was that Miss Garland might not fall in with the plan. "The only honor I can think of would be a kiss," I said. "Why, Mr. Feiary!" exclaimed Miss Garland, under her breath. "Ton surely wouldn't suggest my giving any one who would take a chance a kiss." "Certainly not. But suppose the whole fifty chances could be sold for one kiss." Miss Garland looked at the floor, then at the ceiling, then out of the window. "Yea see, there is a great difference between kissing fifty men and kissing one man," I added. "Yes, but it Is as bad to kiss a man once as to kiss him fifty times." "If it is wrong to kiss him at all." There was a long pause, during which Miss Garland picked up a piece of paper and tore It Into little bits. 8he didn't seem to get en with her problem. I must help her. "I think I know a man who wonld take your chances in the raffle with the honor attached." She made no reply to this, and I proceeded: "He is not a stranger to you. He has known and admired you for a long while, it wouldn't be like selling a kiss. It would give him great happiness, release you from the responsibility of peddling the chances and benefit the orphans." "I don't think," she replied, after much consideration, "that It wenld be right, even under the circumstances, for me to kiss a man to whom I am not engaged." "Who knows but that an engagement might follow." "Engagements usually precede such things." "But this is a peculiar case. It wouldn't do for you to engage yourself to a man simply that you might sell him a kiss to benefit an orphan asylum." "It could be broken afterward." "That would be a mere subterfuge. If there is a sin in the transaction it would not be wiped away by such an arrangement as that." "Can't you suggest something that would make the sale justifiable?" "Oh, the charity renders it justifiable." "Do you really think so?" "Certainly I do, or I wouldn't suggest It." There was more thought, but the question was being rapidly narrowed down. "You haven't told me who the man Is," she said. "I have told you that he is an admirer of yours.** "It seems to me that a kiss given a man who has no interest in me or I in him would be merely a touching of the lips without any feeling, whereas a kiss from a man who admired me would be very different" "I should think you would prefer the latter." This remark also elicited no reply. Miss Garland was still thinking, thinking hard. She was very anxious to dispose of her chances in one lot, but the manner of doing so seemed to her very irregular. "What do you suppose," she said at last, "the people present would think of me?" "There need be no people present." "Oh, I supposed the thing was to be done at the fair." "No: it could be done in private. Indeed I'm quite sure the man buying the kiss would not expose you or himself to snch publicity." "But in public It wouldn't be as much harm." "I see no harm in It either wi.." "Are you sore this friend of your* would do as yon •ay?" *1 am positive." n don't see bow_£<* fits taow ftat D A Y T O N The JEWELER Has Arrived With a Uine of Jewelry, Watches, Chains, etc., and will remain 4 WEEKS 4 at the old stand, Jacksons store.

She bent her eyes to the floor, where they remained a long while. Then she said very faintly: "1 accept the terms. Take it" "Not till It is given me by ray promised wife." There is one thing for which Mrs. Feiary gives me great credit, though 1 believe it is the only thing. She says I proposed delightfully. HARRISON HOLMES.

Pope kept the newspapers to read; thero was no lit- «ratur* la tho little ship, and he believed these West Indian journals voold interest Miss Crystal. When the baga had been thoroughly sacked, orery letter and parcel opened and flung away, Pope read out the figures fee bad entered and told the men how much more they were worth in solid money since eight bells had been struck. "Are you satisfied?" he said. Yes, they were all satisfied. "Mark now, my hearts," he exclaimed, "that this is only the beginsing; this cruise isn't up until I'm worth ten thousand pounds, and ye'll «11 be rich men when that's been brought about. You can fill your cans •Od drink success; this is a good day's ww*." Going aft, Capt. Pope met Laura ascending the companion way from k$r cabin. He stopped at once, with his usual low bow and flourish. "Have you searched the mails?" she asked. "Yes," he answered, leaning opposite to her against a bulkhead and laughing, and adoring her. "What did you find?" ^ "Certain things proper to er "ji *a," be replied. "How can you have the heart to steal, Captain'Pope?" "Because, besides my hand. I must possess an estate to lay at your feet." This was put in a rather Irish way, and unconsciously there was a touch of the brogue in his delivery. His accent amused her and she smiled. and then looked up at Crystal, a little piece oif whom she could just catch a sight of as he sat on the edge of the skylight. "If you had been the owner of the ^nietia, I should not find you an adirocato for piracy," said Miss Laura j who semei disposed to linger, as | "Come you with me," called out Crystal to Laura, and the girl, with a single glance of entreaty and fear at Captain Pope, at once arose and went up the steps after her cousin. Pope stood for some moments lost in thought leaning with his hand upon the table. "I who murdered," ran his thought, "I who, at the risk of my life, plundered the old woman, not less in his interests than in my own. But—" he continued to muse, then, pondering deeply, he stepped into his cabin. "I hope you have not asked me to come on deck to quarrel with me," says Laura, fastening her eyes, full of spirit and temper, upon Crystal's rugged, storm-turrowed face. "I know my duty a3 your relation," he answered, "and I know-what Pope's duty is as a gentleman. I'll do mine, so help me the gods; and he'll have to do his," he answered, stepping so as to oblige her to walk with him. "But he is doing his duty as a gentleman!" exclaimed the girl, with a mounting color. "He's kind to me, and courteous. It is you who are brutal." He looked sternly at her. "If father and mother were both on board this ship, they would find nothing in the behavior of Captain Pope to object to, however much they might abominate his and your trade," In a moment Pope returned to the deck. He was smoking a cigar. He went to the wheel and looked at the brig's course. Then with his seawardly blue eyes he narrowly circled the horizon. Crystal leaned against the bulwark rail, and Laura a little at a loss took up the papers upon the skylfght, and aeemed to read their addresses. Pope called down the companion hatch, and the man who was preparing the table for that last early meal, which at sea is called supper, brought up a chair which the captain placed against the skylight in the shadow of the trysail. Miss Laura seated herself. Captain "Certain things proper to enrich us." 'though she enjoyed a conversation with the heroic Irishman, while her cousin sucked his old pipe above. "I dare not argue with you," said Pope "Your eyes drive the logic out ef my head. Miss Crystal—Miss JLaura—I^aura," he cried, with a sudden passion which anybody might see he could not control, "you will be my wife?" The piece of Crystal that was showing 1n the skylight disappeared; his newspaper fluttered and vanished like a butterfly. "It Is ridiculous!" she answered, with nothing but a faint tremble of Voice to mark loss of self-control. "We are strangers—we are scarcely known to each other." "You could not be better known to we," he exclaimed, approaching her and seising her hand, which she allowed him to retain, "had we sailed round the world together." Just as he said this Captain Crystal oame down the companion steps. "Are you coming on deck, Laura?" says ho, pausing. "Why do you object to this young lady biing in my company?" said Pope, wad he looked at Crystal with dangerous eyos. "My wish is that my cousiu should fee left along by you while she's aboard this brig," replied Crystal, in JL harsh and savage voice. Pope, without unfolding his arms, with the same dangerous expression burning in his blue eyes, oyed him •critically for a moment or two, as ftfcough hesitating to decide whether 1 * was drunk or mad. He then said, pointing with a rapid, menacing gesture to the companion hatch: *tte on deck, sir, .and look */ter the Pope pulled out a penknife, and cut open three or four newspapers, one of which he handed to the young lady, himself retaining another. "Crystal," sings out Pope on a sudden, "what d'ye say to this?" The square man came leisurely forward with his newspaper in one hand and his pipe in the other. "Here surely seems something in the shape of booty," said Pope, with a little excitement. "What's the date of this sheet?" He looked at it and read it aloud. "So! By George, Jonathan, we ought to fall in with her!" and t e read out of the body of the paper full particulars of a large West Indiaman of seven hundred tons, which was to sail from Kingston on a date that made it four or five days after that of the issue of the paper he held. She was a far richer ship than the Thetis. She was to carry twelve thousand pounds in specie; several valuable consignments were mentioned. He put down his paper, went below and returned in a few minutes with a large chart of the Atlantic. He put this chart down upon the deck close beside Laura and knelt upon it, and Crystal likewise knelt. "A week's ambling should bring us abreast," said Pope rising, and Crystal also rose, and the wiry chart coiled itself up like a thing of life. "If we can take her, she should suffice." "There will be another fight," said Laura, folding and unfolding her paper. "How dreadful! Both of you may lose your lives, and all for a little money which will not do either of you good, because it will not be honestly come by." , •• "When I get «ny fortune ashore/' says P*t% Mbtjtaf f t har, ul will have i t b j e a s ^ '**4 then the money wffl be as *\v**i *nd chaste as tnouffc earned by th^t sort of sweajt which Is as holy as p*«yer*" mUrn i U . CHAPTER XXK Yhe Slaver. The dusk glowed out of the east and overwhelmed the west; it was loaded with stars and some clouds hovered over the edge of the sea. "Crystal," said Pope, speaking as though the unpleasant passage between them that afternoon had clean gone out of his mind, Vwhat d'ye say to heaving the brhj to every nightfall for the night? She's not to give us the go-by in the dark, John." "I wouldn't heave to yet it I was you," answered Crystal, "we han't closed her by leagues." "We must fall in with her at all costs," says Pope; "for I want to see an end to this jaunt. Miss Crystal, will you permit me to conduct you to the plain supper table of a pirate?" With some ceremony he elapsed her hand. Crystal walked away to the wheel and took out the binnacle lamp to light his pipe, and replaced it, but contrived in so doing to throw the sheen of the flame over < the helmman's face. "You're one of the Thetis's men, ain't you?" said he. "Yes, sir," was the answer. "How d'ye like this life?" said Crystal. "Why, I ain't seen enough of It yet to make up my mind," replied the man. "There's a bit of the swag below a-coraing to my share, and if the skipper was to knock off now it isn't me a3 would be the first to sing out." Crystal sucked a moment or %two at his pipe in silence. "I'm beginning to think," he said, with an affected yawn, "that this life's out and away to risky for a man who values his neck and reputation. And though my friend Captain Pope makes light of the difficulty, cuss me if I can understand how we're going to dispose of the booty, and not get nabbed, every mother's son of us, and strung up." "I suppose," said the fellow at the helm, "if any of us men want to go clear of this job the capt'n would be willin' to transship us." "Ay, by sending ye adrift." "That 'ud be bleeding hard," "Said the helmsman. "No capt'n's got a right to force a man into being a pirate without his consent." "Sound some of the men forward, your own shipmates particularly,'* says Crystal, with a note of carelessness in his voice. "You needn't mention this conversation of ours. Report to me privately. If more than half the ship's company are willing to abandon the cruise, then I may Induce the captain to give it up, and make for safety while our necks are our own," Saying this he moved away, and stood beside the skylight, and, unperceived, looked down. He witnessed a love scene, and involuntarily clenched his hands. Pope had murdered a blockader, he had barbarously plundered an aunt. He had killed, robbed and scuttled, and Crystal quite understood that the handsome dog, unless he cheated the law by his own hand, or was collared by disease and walked off, must be hanged. He was enraged and mortified also by Laura's indifference to his views and wishes. She was allowing Pope to make love tjr her, and Jonathan ground his teejLh. Laura, who clearly listened with interest, often with a light of pleasure in her beautiful face, and sometimes she would flash a look at her worshiper. Doubtless she knew that her cousin was on deck, but the infrequent glance she would shoot through the akylight sank into the dusk past the face glimering to the skylight. Crystal took off his hat and wiped his biow. The meteoric dust was very plentiful over the mastheads, and the horizon opened northeast against a gentle play of violet lightning. The square man was thirsty, he was also hungry, and Grindal being too drunk to relieve him his irritability increased because he observed that the couple in the cabin made no signs of coming on deck. Quitting the skylight he walked slowly forward. The gloom was deep betwixt the rails, and-all about the neighborhood of the caboose, owing to the inky dye cast into it by the shadowing of the sails, and the dusk was 3pangled with the glowing bowls of smokers, who, finding the temperature of the 'tween-deckB oppressive, had cast themselves upon the deck and lay in groups (To Be Continued.) What They Do. "Do you think the so-called manly art, as exemplified by prize fighting, is of any real benefit?" "Certainly. Prize fights serve to stimulate " "What?" "Betting." Strictly Nautical. "What will the cup seekers be that follow Shamrock III.?" "They'll be TWandafters, of course." ?Spr HoV.TbU?

As the time for the coming of the youngsters approaches, the shepherd will be making preparations, says A. D. Gamley. if the lambs r e coming in May, very little is necessary to be done, but if in March, and the sheep pen is not warm enough for newborn Iambs, then warmer quarters must be provided. My plan is to have a* shed built of poles, covered with straw and well banked with manure, into which turn the cattle, making the vacated fetalis into temporary pens by nailing a few boards across the ends. Now for the lambs. As the ewes bring them into the warm stable, where the pens have already been prepared, examine the udder, draw some milk, so that the lamb will get It more freely,' clean all the wool and filth away from around it, so that the lamb will have no trouble in getting hold of the teat If the lamb is strong, don't be In too great a hurry to get him to suck, he will soon find the teat, and the less they are handled the better. If the lamb is weak, assist it to the teat, holding it up for a few times, or until be finds his legs. If too weak to suck, draw some milk from the ewe into a warm tea cup, feeding two or three spoonfuls at a time, until strong enough to help itself. If a lamb is chilled and apparently lifeless, pour a teaspoonful of gin in a little warm water down its throat, and submerge it once, all but the head, In warm water, or put in a warm oven. The latter, the hot air cure, I think is much the surest plan. I have brought round lambs in that way that have been picked up for dead. Never give up a lamb that has been chilled and never sucked, without trying one of tho aforesaid methods for its recovery; the chances for that lamb living are a good deal better than for an ailing lamb a few days or a week old. As the lambing progresses, the shepherd will have observed that some ewes are much heavier milkers than others, and that the poor milkers very often have twins; put one of the twins on a ewe with a single lamb and a good milker. The best and easiest plan is to pick out a ewe giving indications of being a good mother, and watch for her lambing. As soon as she has lambed, and before she gets up, place the twin lamb beside the new-born lamb, and roll and rub them together, which will give the same appearance and smell to both, and when the ewe turns round to survey her progeny she will never suspect the fraud, but will commence licking both lambs. I have never seen this plan fail. If a ewe loses her lamb, make her foster a twin (aim to make every ewe raise a lamb). This requires a little patience. My plan Is to skin the dead lamb and sew the pelt on to the twin lamb, putting the dam and foster lamb in a dark pen for a few days, always keeping a sharp lookout to see if the lamb is doing all right. It is as well in their case to tie up the ewe for the first day or so. Take off the pelt in 24 or 30 hours. Effects of Feed on Teeth and Skull. Schwartzkopf, of the Minnesota Station, treating of the influence of feed upon the dentition of pigs, writes: 1. The order of succession of teeth in our precocious pigs runs the same as in the primitive hog. 2. The times when the teeth appear are variable, according to race, feeding and health. The same breeds raised under the same conditions will show the same appearance. 3. The form of the skull depends upon nutrition, health and more or lefts employment of certain muscles of the head and neck. Skulls of poorly nourished pigs are long and more slender than from those well nourished. Pigs that are prevented from rooting will acquire a short, high and rounded head, while those that are forced to root to secure a portion of their food will develop a long and slender form of head: ttWreei'til f^ Mnweorr ** •C Moro*g ! ••u MAMjS*Zt Satmer Mna»lt*r*. sleiftfte «e », bottle.

The "stone age" is fast reviving in London, though in a more" welcome torm than that of old. There is KA^ growing tendency to spend mtfney more freely on business premises, and consequently architects, ^generally speaking, are enjoying more scope In designing structures with imposing elevations. To obtain the most handsome effect white stone has become the favorite and wherever monetary considerations will permit this is almost universally ^stipulated for i i specifications. "If this liberality continues,*' saltf a prominent contractor, "London will within a comparatively short period become the finest.city in the world. Architecturally speaking. - At the present time two-thirds of the contracts in our hands specify for the use of stone frontages." ••-t A Hot Day. J. H.

At the Wisconsin State fair last week we noticed what was to most people a new feature in coops to be used in judging. These were made open on both sides. This gives the light a full passage around the birds and the judges have no trouble In seeing the specimens they are to pass upon, without removing them from the coops. The judges do' their work on the opposite side from the crowd, which is another advantage of this arrangement. Of course the birds are taken out of .the coops and handled when necessary, in any event With the old style of coops, those open on strengthens ^ and refreshes her one side, there was always a semi- Postum and she has a little oil stove twilight when the judge, clerk and l n her office and makes a cup of Posr -ners of the birds got around them, turn at noontime.

"I was always a delicate, spoiled child and my parents used to let mo drink coffee because I jwould cry for it," says a Georgia young woman. "When I entered school my nervousness Increased and my parents thought it was due to my going to school, so they took me out again.

'You had a cigarette in your mouth; you are hiding it In your band; there It is!' 'Then God put It in my bund.' The native denies always. Taken red handed he denies. Beneath blows he denies. Pain Is sometimes powerless to make him confess, even at the point of death. This obstinacy Is due In part to the high idea he has of his dignity. His pride forbids him a confession, because the avowal of his lying Is infinitely Jiurniliating in his eyes. The fear of losing 'face' is all powerful in him. To recognize a fault is more shameful than to have committed it. Hence the peculiar obstinacy of the native in denying, even when It would be to his interest to confess, an obstinacy not manifested in other ways." —Journal of American Folk Lore. C a n i n e I n t e l l i g e n c e . A native of Peru has vouched for the following: A native pointed out one day a huge white dog that lay before his wattled house. He declared that his dog had intelligence of an almost human order. He said that once, when it had broken a bone in Its foot, he had taken it to a surgeon and the surgeon had set the fracture and relieved it of its pain. Some months afterward, in the middle of the night, the surgeon was awakened by a great scratching at his door and by a thumping as of some heavy body. He slipped on a dressing gown and went down, "to find the white dog in his garden with a brown dog beside it that held one leg off the ground. The surgeon's deduction was that the white dog had brought its companion there for treatment. Accordingly he dressed the leg of the injured animal, and thereupon the two dogs licked his hands with an air of gratitude and departed slowly Into the night side by side.

Wages of farm laborers have increased nearly one-third in the last decade, while the supply of farm help has diminished in about the same ratio. The farmer has been trying to tide over this pressure by working a little harder himself. The good wife and children have "helped out" In many an emergency, but the long continued •train proves to us that we cannot endure this' high pressure very much longer. A suggestion of a solution to this problem is given by Hon. F. W. Bedfern, which is worthy of consideration. He says: "The scarcity of really good men, men who understand farm operations, is coming to be severely felt Farmers are anxiously inqniring, 'What are we going to do for help on the farm?* Some one says, TJse more machinery.' Yes, but that is only a partial solution of the work - question, for men muBt be had to work the machinery. The problem of getting them still confronts UB. A solution must b5 had, however. It must come through a change In cropping, a curtailment of production or a resort to tbe Importation of labor from countries having an excess. The present demand for marketable prod' ucts precludes very much change In cropping, at least of such a character as would allow with doing away with hired help on the ordinary farm. Curtailment of production cannot be thought of, because that would bring distress. The people must be fed. The remedy would seem then to be in Importation of farm laborers. The question then is, How can this be brought about? Simply enough. A general appeal might be made by our agriculturists to the chief of the department of agriculture at Washington, asking that the United States consuls abroad be instructed to make inquiry as to the location of farm laborers who would be willing to migrate to the United States and report their findings to Washington. "An information bureau could be established and arrangements made with the authorities in Washington as to the number of laborers desired and in what localities needed. All that would be needed could no doubt be induced to come. A dearth of laborers for the mine or workshop is readily filled by Importation of miners and mechanics ftfom the overthronged districts of Europe. Why not try the experiment on our farms and thereby solve the question of farm labor?" The question now comes, Is this a matter where the national grange could urge upon congress to take some action that will allow farmers more latitude in regard to the employment of foreign laborers?—Michigan Quarterly Bulletin. ) ( ^ f w — — I ^ I W i spaas* »*^ww» WEsi may bo dot* In c*vopt?atioa * bast sbflrw* by what it being done.

We note with encouragement the way In which the press of New York state, and even other states, is throwing open Its columns to grange news. More grange departments have been started by newspapers within the past six months than ever before. Papers which ten years ago had no space for grange news are now giving from one to four columns a week to i t They have simply recognized a demand for this kind of reading on the part of the public An idea^grange department in a local paper should" contain all the real news pertaining to the order. But It should be more than a purely news department. It should furnish food for thought along lines of grange work. It should contain such reading matter as could be used with profit by the lecturer in the meetings, and it should at all times aim to furnish such articles as will broaden and educate. It should also be the aim of the editor of a grange department to keep abreast of the best sentiment and thought of the day in this chosen field.—Overseer George A. Fuller. •WP Ht«l V M t yoo % The Saaorataate Qraasr*. If a grange fails to be Interesting or attractive no sense of duty will long prompt members to attend. The membership of the grange Is composed of a class of persons whose lives are given to labor and who usually are surfeited with brain wearying cares and business at home and who value the grange for the recreation and pleasant times it affords them as much as for the pecuniary benefits and intellectual development It brings. It has been the mistake of many well meaning officers to stun* their members with Intellectual nutrition without sweetening, flavoring or saKtag and then blame the subleots because their appetite pelle.—*. « . 8 t r n # .

BARNARD The Jackson Association of Congregational churches and ministers held their semi-annual meeting with the Pinckney church Tuesday and Wednesday Oct. 20 and 21. The local auxilary of the Woman's Home Mission Union convened Tuesday afternoon at 1:30 with Mrs. Lowe of Jackson as President. This was an unusually, interesting, inspiring, and helpful meeting and was largely attended. In the evening at 7:30 Dr. Warren the Home Mission Supt. for Mich, addressed the convention, holding the close attention of the audience for one hour as he very aptly and earnestly set forth some vital truths regarding the church and its influence. The seryice concluded by the celebration of the Holy Communion at which Dr. Warreri and Rev. Wm. E wing officiated a large number representing different churches took the communion. The Choir of the church with pastor G. W. Mylne as organist led the musical part cf the service. Wednesday morning the sessions opened with Devotions conducted by Dr. Holmes of Chelsea after which the retiring moderator Hon. Sagendorph of Jackson announced the business session, the first matter being the election of a Moderator, Rev. Dr. Patton of Ann Arbor being appointed to that office. Considerable time was spent dincussing an amendment to the Contitution tabled by Rev. A. G. Beach of Ypsilanti at last meeting. The said amendment related to a proposed discontinuance of the semi-innual meeting. The feeling of the meeting was decidedly unfavorably to the proposition. Rev. Wm. Ewing o. Lansing addressed the meeting on uThe Problem of Education/' Dr. Warren followed with an address on "The State Work." Other matters of business were disposed of and an adjournment took place at noon. In the afternoon the meeting opened at 1:30. The devotions being conducted by Rev. Coin of Jackson. Then followed a pr.per by Rev. G. W. Mylne on "The Duties ot a Church Member to the Mid-week Service." This paper provoked a rather warm discussion, as the pastor has some very decided views about the conducting of such services and as his method has been more than successful, he was interrogated by the brethern as to the method he pursued. Rev. Dr. Holmes spoke in favor of the old time method while Deacon Colby in an able speech endorsed the pastor's plan. Dr. Patton of Ann Arbor gave an instructive address on "Combination of the Churches tor Philanthropic Work" and presented some very practical methods. Rev. A. G. Beach read a paper of much interest and merit on the topic Special Perils to the Christian Life of Today. Rev. B. Smits of Jackson made a logical and impressive plea for the American Board of Missions. An adjournment took place at 4:30 p. m. The vistors and delegates expressed their satisfaction and pleasure at the hospitable entertainment pro vided them during their visit by the people of Pinckney. Tne ministers were of the opinion that the meetings were very satisfactory botfc in attendance and interest. m m m Congregational Church. Conducted by Rev, O. W, Mylne.

Mead & Co. 1 CHAPTER XXI—Continued. ^ Crystal walked as far as the longboat, vbioh was chocked abaft the gjalley or caboose, and nearly filled die apace betwixt that sea kitchen and tfce mainhatch. Her proportions were gatherable, even by that light. Ske was a large, good boat, and the n a t a stood viewing her because he %*ftS a scheme sailing about in his strata aa a wasp hums about a room. "What's that?" suddenly yelled a man, opringiag to his feet and pointing teto a corner of the dark sea abort four points on the leo bow. ft was an effulgent scarlet cloud, with a slow motion of light in it as though It was wind-tossed. The sea swept black to that dash of glowing gold, and Crystal, after ateadfaeUy gazing, said, ''It's a cloud reflecting the light of a ship on fire." He walked to the skylight and sent hlfl votes to the couple below in a atingiag yell . that instantly started Popo oa to his legs. "A *»>• on fire on the lee bow." "I'm coming on deck," said Pope. Ana" in a few minutes ho arrived W&Ja fete telescope in ono hand and Mies Laifra'6 hand in the other. *Ay, tfcai's fire sure enough," said he. *See how it wavers. T i s a reflected light though," and ho leveled Ills glass. The leases made it clear that a vesholding it clear of the brine, was elteadily pulsing his way with a vigor oils right arm toward the brig. He easily got into the boat, alter handing his little black parcel over the gunwale. Scarce was he in, and even while the rowers were in the act of throwing their blades forward, when Pope standing up pointed to the water close alongside the boat, and his rich Irish voice rang to the brig: "See that, Mias Crystal, and call it a narrow escape." In the mystical sheen in the sea everybody could see a huge shark, one of the biggest of ita kind; the demon floated with the boat to alongside the brig, and Pope, looking over the gunwale, saw the sparkles it made as it sank. Iu a minute or two he was on deck with the little black creature in his arms. "Who will take charge of this?" said Pope, approaching Laura, as she came toward the gangway. "Give me tho child," sho exclaimed. "Is it alivo?" "It is wet," he answered, "and as slippery aa an eel." "Give it to me," she repea^d, and clasping the little black creature that was almost invisible, sho went away to the companion and descended into tho cabin. Crystal went to the side, and gazed at the sheet-lightning in tho sea, lnut- "Ay, that's fine, sure enough.n a d war burning htrtt down below the horisoB, and that some large clouds K f g*Tf! over the sea just there were •ronaeel by the flames. Another half hour passed; it was h a r i upon half an hoar after nine. The vaasei orer the bows was still burniag furiously; she was then perhaps a Mile distant "We can do no good," says Pope. "Shift the helm for our course, Mr. Crystal, and brace to it." '%et as draw a little closer," exclaimed I Aura, "it is a marvelous sight." All on a sudden a loud shout was raised by several voices forward. **Look out for what's coming along." "*• Jesus help me, if it ain't a woman swimming!" **What's that she's got a-holding in her h a a d T "Oh!* shrieked Laura, "it la a black woaaa* and she is holding up ner baby to as. Oh, save her! Oh, save h e r T The pn06i*hor sheotod so plentifully that yon could see the black swim- B(ng woman as distinctly as you aright see the outline of your own hand upon the flames of spirits of wine. She hold a little black baby above its anrj^its over the water's edge, and with the other hand she was very feebly swimming. T h e , mute appeal she made by holding up h e r child was heartrending. One thought one saw the whites of her •yea as she slowly slided past. *By Qod, I cannot bear that sight!" ahonted Pope. "Down helm, Crystal, amd pick me up." Just as he pronounced those v/ords the nogresa sank, but the mother's lore ©poke even In her last agony; for sinking, she yet contrived to leave the baby floating on Its back, and there It lay, perhaps dead, certainly clearly limned on the of tho brig's wake. l a a few heart-beats Popo had fhrova off his hat, coat, and had-pulleft off hti bpota. Then In a spring or €a*e gaining the taffrail, he put his hands teg&her, and dived—from no groat height—into the phosphoric whtrl about the counter. Qrratal ahonted to some men to lower away the starboard quartsraad nick up the captain. Before tihe boat had* touched the water, Pope: had aeiced'ttae child, an'd tering to himself with many bad words. CHAPTER XXII. Pope's Death. After breakfast the captain conducted Laura on deck, placed a chair tor her in the shadow of the trysail, and put a few newspapers on the plank beside her. It was Crystal's watch below; and when the square man had finished his meal, hr> entered the berth to lie down and sleep. "You have been so very kind to me, Captain Pope," said Laura, somewhat nervously, turning an unopened paper in her lap round and rouad, "that I should hate myself for asking you any quesuou which might convey an idea of ingratitude." "Do not talk so formally!" exclaimed Pope. ' I love you; r.peak to me, dearest, as though you loved me in return." She blushed and answered, "I have a father and mother. I have friends awaiting my arrival in England. It must sooner or later reach their ears that the Thetis was plundered and sunk by pirates, who carried me away in their ship. Will it be long before I am able to communicate with them, to let them know that I am safe?" "Grant me time to fall in with the Alnwick Castle, answered Pope. "You know that you're to bo ray wife?" "Oh, Captain Popa," she cried, with a sidelong look at the helmsman, who with Grindal just abaft him, was not standing very far off, "you will first let me go home? "My dear girl—" He broke off. He did not like so to represent himself as to make her consider that if she went home she would never see him more, because he was now going through life with a halter round hia neck, and not even a love affair could court him into exposing himself in places where any hand might seize the trailing end of the rope and deliver it to John Ketch. He broke off with a slle.. . flush that heightened his manly beauty, and said, bending low to her; "Grant me time, my dearest girl. I love you with all tits strength of my heart." he wont on, in a low, soft voice, full of sweetioss, "and If you do not love me with the same ardor. \t is; becauae you haya not.yet hjtf ttme to perceive - under-the boaH of a j : ale, the nature and the char, acter of a seaman and a gentleman.'* Pope walked aft to Grindal, and-the girl, hurriedly opened a newspaper, held It wide to conceal her burning cheekB. '•"Grindal,'' 8ayn Pope, "go atitt; tell, Bobbin, to lay aft and keep a lookout, and cpnio you into my cabin, | b r I want to have a few words with you." He then went below, and sat at tho table in his cabin, and sank his head upon.his hand and mused. Around him lay the spoils of the cruise so far aa it had gone. Plenty of money #as represented by .the booty, but it was plenty for one or two only; when it came to dividing it into five-andtwenty or thirty portions, the worth of the plunder, per man, sank into Insignificance. Grindal knocked upon his door with a fist like a calking mallet. Pope bade him cuter, and the boatswain stepped in. "Sit you down," says Pope, "you ire an old hand, and an honest man, md I want to have some talk with you." The boatswain seated himself upon i locker, and rested his elbow upon 3. case of guineas. Pope threw a cigar across to him. "I am going to take you into ray confidence, Grindal," said the captain. 'I am a little afraid that Mr. Crystal is no longer to be depended upon. Ke is troubled by hrs cousin, by the lady, being in this ship. I don't say his desire is to breed a mutiny, yet I allow his wish is to end this cruise soon, and go ashore in safety with his cousin." 'I've heard nothing of this," answered the boatswain, hoarsely. "All the plunder we've got so far," ^aid Pope, "is here. Cast your eyes over it, and you'll find it don't work out in value per head as it should." The boatswain ran a blood-shot eye over several parcels. "Nov.'," continued Pope, speaking softly, "if Mr. Crystal's net satisfied, he's not of us, nor with us in spirit, and the sooner he goes the better." "That's right enough!" said the boatswain. "There's some of the crew," Popo went on, "as we could manage to do vlthout. Not just yot—not until we fall In with that Indiaman we're on the lookout fc.r. Did you ever go aslaving?" "I've served in two slavers." answered Grindal. "There's more money to be made out of slaving than out of pirating." "That's it!" exclaimed Pope, leaning forward, and with gre'At animation striking the table with his fist, "listen now to me! My idea is to seize the Alnwick Castle, if we can meet with her; send her people adrift, and put Mr. Crystp' aboard along with as many more as ycu and I may agree upon." "There's them men of the Thetis." said Grindal. "We'll call ' e n flvo. .Mr. Crystal is six. Now another seven or oir<ht will reduce us to tho number we want." "Yes, I knew you would grasp my if'ea. With this twlsve of a crew we go away for a port round the Horn, where we'll dispose of the booty, and where I mean to got married, and where I mean to settle my wife In a little home, till I've completed the fortune I must P03SC3S in order to live like a gantteman without anxiety. •\fter a spell of rest we will lay in a cargo for the n i ^ c r market, and I tell yon what, Grindal, if—but I've no doubt of it—if I find ye a thoroughly sound, honest, trustworthy man, then> if my first slivln? voyage pays me, I'll return to my wife and surrender the charge of this brig to you for another slaving jaunt, and half the money you earn shall be yours, and I'll make you a present of the brig when I have got what I need out of her. How d'ye like it?" "Oh," answers Grindal, whose smile was deep and increasing while Pope talked, "it ain't often such an opportunity fills in the way of the like of me. I'm yer man, sir, to the heart of me/' he added, with a great oath. At nine o'clock Pope brought Laura up on deck to take the air with her. "I wish," said Pope, "that I could cut a more heroic figure in your eyes in this adventuro. I do not like that your pure lovely heart should associate me with so degrading an idea as plunder. God knows that I would restore every penny I have taken, and intend to take, if I knew how to come by a like sum honestly." "How," continued he, "am I to main* tain you as the lady you were born to be?" "Oh, Captain Pope, you must not talk of maintaining me," and her voice sounded as though she was coloring vehemently, and as though her breathing were a little oppressed. "You have promised to be my wife, Laura," said he. "No, I have not promissd you thai, not yet. I must get home first, I must Introduce you to my father and mother," she faltered. (To Be Continued.) BEAK. J. W. Walls, Superintendent of Streets of Lebanon, Ky., living on East Main street, in that city, says: "With my nightly rest broken, owing to irregularities of the kidneys, suffering Intensely from severe pains In the small of my back and through the kidneys, and annoyed by painful passages cf abnormal secretions, life was anything but pleasant for me. No amount of doctoring relieved this condition, and for the reason ti.at nothing seemed to give me even temporary relief 1 became about discouraged. One day I toticed in the newspapers the case of a man who was afflicted as I was and was cured by the use of Doan's Kidney Pills.

It not only cure* cold and grip effectually and permanently, but. prevents these diseases from resulting in pneumonia. It is also a certain cure for croup. Whooping cough is not dangerous when this remedy is given. It contains no opium or other harmful substance and may be given as confidently to a baby as to an adult. It is also pleasant to take. When all of these facts are taken into consideation it is not surprising that people in foreign lands, as well as at borne, esteem this remedy very bighly and very few are willing to take any other after having once used it.

It is inactive so long as exposed to the air, but when carried beneath the skin as in the wounds caused by percussion caps or by rusty nails, and when the air is excluded the germ is roused to activity and produces the most virulent poison known. These germs may be destroyed and all danger of lockjaw avoided by applying Chamberlain's Pain Balm freely as soon as the injury is received.

A GOOD IDEA Some ot the former residents of Pinckney are agitating the question of having an "Old Boys Week" for this village the coming summer, when all former Pinckneyites will try and get home for a few days at lwtst, the latter part ot some week to be decided upon later. The plan is worked*already in some villages and has proved very enjoyable timts. Mcst of the "old boys," and girls too for that matter, try to get home at least once during the summer, but it would be more pleasant if all come the same week when it could be a sort of re-union of old friends and companions. Our columns are open for suggestions from any who wou Id like to see the idea carried out and while it is some time before a week could be arranged, it should be given early attention.

[Special Correspondence] Since years of experience have developed the real home work of the grange the up to date grange hall must conform to the demands of such progress. For years It has been conceded to be of benefit if the subordinate grange had In its own name and control a place called "home." Because of the grange confining Its membership to those chiefly interested in agricultural pursuits this home naturally locates Itself out In the eountry. That It may represent the grange to the passerby the surrounding grounds should be ample tor sheds, for horses, with a good variety of trees and a lawn to accommodate gatherings of people as occasion may require. The entire outside premises should be kept In an inviting condition. As to the grange hall itself, the outside design should be In harmony with the uses for which It is built, and this suggests a harmonising of both church and schoolhouse architecture. To meet ill requirements the building should be it least 24 by 60 feet on the ground, •Tith eighteen foot posts on the sides. This will permit the lower part of the building to be eight feet from floor to retting and leave nine foot sides for the upper ropm, which, with an arched jelling from a system of collar joists, tvlll give a good effect. The lower part >f the hall should be divided to accommodate hallway, entrance, kitchen, itairway arfd a large assembly room, rvhieh Is also suitable for a banquet nail, and, Inasmuch as children under fourteen years of age must now be provided for, thrs room becomes a very proper place for them, and during the tecturer's hour they can sit with their parents In the grange. This large room t>ek>w, being warm and light, is very eonvenlent "for all members In which to hang their wraps on hook rails iround the outer walls. Still further, this large lower room can be used for til common entertainments, and espeslally is it suitable for this when it has i platform or stage at one end, with rultable scenery. The upper story of the building ihould be divided into stair landing, anteroom, property closet, a nursery end the grange hall proper. While the lower rooms should have naked floors, the stairway and all floors above ihould be carpeted and the grange hall ihould have tinished and decorated cvalls and be us well furnished as the Bitting room of a well to do farmer's^ home. Annexes for libraries and court icenes should also be provided. Such a grange building will cost about $1,000 to $1,200. A grange cootempiating the building of a hall or home of this kind can start with the following subscription list: "We, the undersigned members of grange, agree to give the amounts of hand labor, team labor, material and money set opposite our respective names for the purpose of building a grange hall at such place lnd time and In accordance with such plans as the grange may specify." Such a subscription will give a start which, hi the hands of a good building committee, can be made to go a long way toward securing the desired object. It is generally necessary to lend a few hundred dollars to finish and furnish, all of which can be paid off with suppers and entertainments of various kinds. It will be noted that in planning the rooms the children and babes are provided for. This is to encourage the mothers te go to the grange. The children, woven into the lecturer's hour programme, make the Meal entertainment. Where the children are thus well cared for the parents will become Interested. GEORGE B.

Swans Are Ugly Fighters. Rather a funny ceremony that is gone through with every year has just been accomplished, and that is the marking of the young swans, or cygnets, on the upper Thames. Its swans are of course a feature of the river after Richmond is passed. Some of them are owned by the crown, and the rest by two of the ancient river "companies," and it is in order to distinguish them that the cygnets are marked. The swan markers are a picturesque company. They wear white flannels, and can be told apart by their different colored jerseys. Those of the king's men are scarlet, those* of the Dyers' company navy blue, and those of the Vintners' company blue and white. The markers embark in half a dozen skiffs, at the stern of which flies either the king's flag—a white field, with a crown and the royal cipher. "E. R."— or one of the bannerettes of the two companies. The party sets out from Molesey lock, and after that things are pretty lively, for the operation of marking swans, even young swans, is no holiday pastime. The birds fight like furies. They are surprisingly strong. too, and every once in a while one of the markers ha?? an arm or leg broken by a vicious blow from a cygnet's wing. The birds are caught by means of a hook on the end of a long pole, and they are branded on the beak—cither with the royal monogram or that of one of the companies. Usually the man who uoes the branding deprives the swan marked by him of one of its feathers, which he sticks in his cap as a trophy. The number of cygnets is smaller than usual this year, on account of the bad weather and floods which have prevailed along the river. Thames swans have a reputation for viciousness, and folk who have seen what they can do with their wings and beaks make it a point to give them a wide berth.—Philadelphia Ledger. Farmer and AutomoliilUt Join Hands* A 1'iv.v weeks ago a Maryland farmer found an automobile safely anchored iu a mud hole o:i a country road about twenty miles from the city home of the owner. The nutomobolist was vigorously swearing at the mud, the farmers and the rural districts iu. general. After cooling down somewhat, lie struck u bargain with the fanner to extricate his machine and haul it to the nearest possible road for §^.50. Y\hcn the job was finished both were in a comparatively good humor. The nutomobilist lit a fresh ten-cent cigar and presented the fanner one, and the following dialogue ensued: "Why don't you fanners improve these roads'/" "Well, we do work 'em every year, but they don't sreem to get any better." "P.ut why don't you build lirst-class roads and be done with it?" "Say, mister, you must think we're rifh out here in the backwoods. How mueb, do you reckon it would cost? Not less than two or three thousand dollars a mile I guess. That would break us up. We're taxed as much as wo can stand. If you city folks want to go touring over these roads, 1 guess you'll have to get used to the umd, s:uu2 as we have." After the two had smoked in silence for half a minute the farmer cleared his throat and ventured to ask: "Say, why don't you rich city fellows give us a lift and help us improve these roads? I've been reading some lately about State aid and government aid for the farmers in ouilding good roads. Why don't you go in for these things? Wouldn't it be a benefit to the whole community? Besides, haven't us farmers been voting for farifTs to build up industries in the cities for n good many years? Isn't it about time the vural districts enjoyed a littlo of the fostering care of the government':" 'Well," replied the nutomobilist, who happened to be a millionaire manufacturer, "I don't know but you are right. I hadn't thought of it in that light." After some further discussion along this line the two separated, each with new ideas. The farmer had grasped the idea that the automobile, which ho had always viewed with mingled feelings of scorn and amusement, might after all turn out to be a great friend of his; might in fact bo the means of inducing the rich men of the cities to help the farmers build good conn ivy roads.

Xn fact he j f:aw the injustice of expecting them to ! shoulder the whole burden. As a result of this incident both ihe farmer and the automobolist are now conducing a little campaign «n:ong their neighbors in favor of State and National aid to road building. —Uood Roads .Magazine. 'How to Get Good Roads, One great reason for the prevalence of bad roads throughout the United States is lack of agreement and united action among the advocates of improvement. Everybodj* prefers good roads to bad. Everybody knows that the roads can be improved only by the expenditure of money and labor. Hut here the agreement ends. There is a great variety of ideas and schemes for se^urrig the desired object. There is uo end of discussion, but little is accomplished. Home people would rather travel through mud than to have the roads improved by any other plan*than their own "pet scheme." Thus road reformers themselves sometimes actually hinder the cause to which they are devoted. If the roads of the country are to be made good within the lifetime of the present generation it is high time the advocates of good roads united in support of a few general propositions, and went to work in favor of a general plan. If a National good roads movement ever gets started, nothing can stop It. It will sweep everything before it. But the difficulty is to get it started. One groat advantage possessed by the National aid plau. which is nov/ becoming so popular, is that it is general, instead of sectional or local. It is as broad as the whole country. It can bring into harmonious, nnited action the friends of good roads in every State, and it is the only plan yet proposed that can do this. The friends of National aid will make a mistake if they undertake to work out details' in advance. Th r*y will disagree among themselves and give objections every advantage. They should f^o to work for the gtneral principle and leave details to be worked cut after. This was th"> plan of action adopted by Gladstone. When bis opponents asked for details of any great reform which he advocated Gladstone would answer. "There will he tlmo enough to work out the details when we get the power." The advocates of National aid will do well to emulate the example of this great English statesman. They should organize everywhere and fight for ihe principle. leaving details to be worked out in due time. **No one should ever jud^e tiiat man &y the company he keeps." " W h y ?

The polar bear Is the only one that takes to the sea, and is quit3 jolly when aboard ahip. All others violently resent a trip on water, and vociferously give vent to their feelings until sea-sickness brings silence. The tiger suffers most of all. The mere sight of a ship makes him uncomfortable, and when on board he whines pitifully, his eyes water continually, and he ruM his stomach with his terrible paws. Horses are very bad sailors. an.1 often perish on a sea voyage.
