Davis had the reputation of being a martinet, and whenever a private soldier found himself before a court martial he would make up his mind that if the major had a voice in t h e matter he was as good as coHF victed. There were those who excused t h e officer's harshness on t h e ground that, he belonged to t h e old school—the s e h o o r = t h a t i o o k e d ^ s p o n - t h e r a n k file as dogs—but t h e fact remained t h a t he was not popular with either his officers or his men. Affairs in the Indian country W5pre a t peace when t h e post commander at Fort Brown applied for and secured a long leave of absence, and Major Davis was ordered t o take charge in his place. It was a frontier post with a small garrison of old* veterans, and there jwas no call for red t a p e or rigid discipline. T h e best drill master in t h e a r m y could not have taught those men anything new, and t h e officers felt t h a t they had a right t o l o a f a- •when warm weather set in. T h e United States w a s in no danger of invasion from a foreign foe, and the red man had had enough of w a r to last him for two or three^years, when Major Davis arrived and assumed command. An hour later he began to issue general orders, and a groan of discontent was heard throughout t h e garrison. Then began what was characterized a s "a flum-a-diddle time." T h e lines of discipline were rigidly drawn and the drills were frequent and,exacting. T b e Anger of t h e martinet pointed in m a n y directions, and the men who growled went to t h e guard house on a trot. At all military posts there are a few favored men—men who suffer now a n d then from old wounds or have performed their brave deeds, and are tacitly allowed to take things easy. a man w a s private Turn Gorconsequence. T h e wounded man. took the chance of getting under shelter for a short time. The major went t h e rounds that night, caught him derelict and saw h i m hustled off to t h e guard house;— — The affair w a s looked upon as seriously as if the Sioux warriors were at t h e gates of the fort in w a r paint, instead of being in their lodges fifty There were dimples In her cheeks and a smile on h e r mouth. He held t h e picture to his lips and whispered: "You ain't t o blame for it, little one. Whatever h e is to us, and badly a s he's used me, he loves you and you him, and I can't break your heart in trying to get even. I'm here to kill him, and I w a s going to do it when h e came back; but you're too sweet a thing to be left fatherless."

Hawaiian Species Cailed the Lehua Must Have Much Sunlight. "Orchids are not t h e only plants t h a t grow in t h e air." said an employe of the government bureau of forestry recently in discussing tropical plants. "In t h e Hawaiian islands is a tree, growing from thirty t o 100 feet high, which often begins life away up on top of other trees. Unless it did this it could not exist at all In those dark, [ dank forests. It is a sun-loving tree, of t h e kind t h a t foresters call 'intolerant,' because they will not tolerate other trees hear enough t o them tc "shade them. "These trees a r e t h e lehuas.

"As soon as the seed opens and b e gins to sprout tiny roots go climbing down the trunks of t h e trees to th€ ground.. With time, as t h e little plant becomes large, the roots increase in girth, until a t last they a r e great solid things, a s thick and powerful as those of any other big tree. "Usually t h e tree on-"which the lehua grows begins—to . decay aboui this time, and after awhile it withers and rots away. This leaves the lehu8 standing on .its roots high In t h e a i r ; and such a forest presents a~wonder ful and weird sight. "It is.no joke to get through a lehua forest where all the trees have grown this way. T h e roots run one way and another, a n d interlace so that ofteD there isn't space big enough for a rabbit to crawl through. There is no use in trying to cut or hew a way into the lehua wooJs, for the roots are a s tough as roots generally are and no American farmer's boy whe has ever put' in a season at breaking Such m a n at Fort Brown.

T h e coddling ceased soon after t h e major's arrival. He was on t h e looko u t for such men. They were returned t o duty, and even given extra duty, and t h e mild protests of captains and . lieutenants were met with the forma! •reply: "This is a military post, not a hosp i t a l ; and no man, unless excused by t h e doctor at sick call, will be exe m p t from duty." In a month the major was a wellh a t e d man. He realized the fact and gloried in it- Private Gorman returned' to duty with a complaint, and subsequent events proved that the martinet had • a special eye on him. He was twice roi;'\nianded during company drill one th'.y, and following that he was placed 0 A martinet, -on sentry duty an,d took his post a t midnight in a rain storm. _—K—was^an inside ' post, and, of no guard house. When he had served nve days ue was assisted to escape. He was furnished with a carbine and food, and he went into hiding within three miles of t h e fort. He felt that he had been unjustly "treated a n d ' that h e had been disgraced without cause, and he calmly and ripliberatefv made up his mind to kill t h e man responsible. It was for this reason that h e lingered near the fort. Almost every morning t h e major rode down to t h e boiling spring, three miles down t h e rough trail, and there were fifty places where he could be ambushed. T h e spot selected w a s a big rock alongside t h e trail, and Tom was on the watch there t h e morning after his escape. It w a s seven o'clock before the echoes of t h e iron-shod hoofs of the major's horse reached his ears, .and ' an instant later h e was peering out from behind t h e rock. It was the major, alone on the traU-\ No one was in sight in either dir&c\ tion. f " As the soldier made ready with his carbine t h e , major let. fall his reins and drew a letter .from his pocket. As he did so a photograph fell from the letter to the btony highway unnoticed by him. Queer as it may seem, curiosity about the photograph overbalanced Tom Gorman's thirst for revenge for the moment, and he let the officer pass. A minute later ho had the card in his hand. It was the picture of a little girl not over five years old—a sweetfaced little thing—and underneath was written "From Elsie^to Papa."

From Iowa a number of reports stated that rats had killed off a good share of t h e early hatchings. Turkeys.—The crop of turkeys i s estimated to b e about 15 per cent^ heavier than last year. Our reports m most instances claim large increases in t h e flocks of turkeys, but some points which raised a good many tarkeys last^ year report a material far;—On the whole, however, we look for more turkeys to come to m a r k e t during t h e winter. The season is unusually late, and where in other seasons a good many turkevs hava been_jhipped in u p J o this time, so f a r this year but few turkeys h a v e been received.* Then too, farmers a r e being blessed with good crops, and in no need for immediate money, can afford to allow their turkeys to run until fall. Chickens.—The reports generally indicate a -v^ry material increase in the crop of /chickens, and it is faiz to state t h a t T h a crop a t least is about 20 p e r cent larger than last year. The, weather conditions were generally favorable. F a r m e r s being in good condition financially, and receiving good prices for their eggs, have p e r haps n o t marketed their stock as early, nor a s freely a s usual, and indications a r e that there is a large quantity to come forward. Ducks.r—Everything points to a large crop of ducks—such at least a r e the conclusions derived from t h e reports received. T h e indications are for an increase of about 10 per cent over last year. Late prices have been more encouraging to farmers to raise-ducks.

Mucilaginous Coat of t h e Egg. On the outside of every newly laid egg is an albuminous coat or mucilaginous coat, according to t h e term used to designate it. This is sticky when t h e e g g is dropped, but quickly hardens. Its purpose is evidently tc Keep out the#air or to keep in t h e a h t h a t . i s in o n e end of t h e egg. At a n j rate it helps to keep t h e egg from spoiling. It is doubtless efficacious in keeping out t h e germs that a r e everywhere present in the outer air. Th€ egg that h a s this coat keeps longei than t h e e g g that h a s had this coating removed. A good many people wash their eggs a s soon a s they come from the nests on account of stains on the eggs or for other reasons. This washing removes t h e mucilaginous coat. t It is evident therefore that eggs should be so prepared for that they will be clean when taken from the nests and not need washing. This means t h a t t h e nests should be kept clean and also t h e yards that the feet of t h e fowls m a y also remain clean. Where yards a r e allowed to become muddy t h e feet of t h e hens will soil the nests and this will necessitate the washing of all eggs. Professional Insect Killers. A report of t h e United States Department of Agriculture says: It may often happen that the amount of work in a community is sufficient to indu<? o one or more persons to undortake the t r e a t m e n t of plants a t a given charge per tree or per gallon of the insecticide employed. Where this Is lief, I began to reflect t h a t rheumatism Is a disease of t h e blood, a n d that if Dr. Williams' Pink Pills a r e s:> good for the blood they must b e good for rheumatism a n d worth as trial.

Paraier* Death S M W « Myetetr t» the People ef Saalkae Center. Appleton Connors, a farmer living iiwir Juhl, In Elmer township, was found dead by the roadside two and a half miles south of Sanilac Center, Sunday morning, by persons on ttoeir «ay to church. He was lyln« **<* downward and his neck appeared to In* dislocated. It was first thought that an Investigation would reveal a vi»] or weapon with which he had taken his own life, but a search by the coroner brought out nothing of this nalure, and the people are in doubt as to whether or iiDt he met with foul play. This is the first occurrence of this sort over known In this community and the people are horror-stricken. Connors was a married man and was about 52 years old. For some time i»iist there have been family complications and his wife had not been living at home since spring.

LIVE STOCK. Illustration of Henry Ward Beecher'o Excellence at Repartee. That Henry Ward Beecher waa spared much embarrassment by his quickness at repartee is illustrated by the following story: One evening, as he was in the midst of an impassioned speech, someone attempted to interrupt him by suddenly crowing like a rooster. It was done to perfection; a number of people laughed in spite of themselves, and the speaker's friends felt that in a mnmoi^f tfro whnlp etfert of the meet- Detroit—Extra dry-fed steers and heifers, $4 50ft 4 75; steers and heifers, 1,000 to 1,200 lbs, $3 T5@4 -5; gra.-s steers and heifers that are fat, 800 to 1.000 lbs, $3rtf3 60; do, 500 to 700 lb«, $2 50^.2 85; choice fat cows". $2 75 @ 3 1.5; good fat eo\vs», $2 50<fi3; compion cows, Tt 50rfo2 15: tanner*, n t t 5©; choice heavy bull.*, $2 75&3 25; fair to good bolognas, bulls, J2 30@2 i>5; stock bulls, $1 75fi2 16; choice feeding steers, 800 to l.OO^lbs, 13fr3 35; fair feeding steers, «00 to 1,000 lbs, $2 50<?i3; choice stockerK, 500 to 700 lbs. $2 stock heifers, $1 751(2 25: large, young, medium age, common milkers, $20 fa 30.

The orator, however, was equal to the occasion. He stopped, listened till the crowing ceased, and then, with a look of surprise, pulled out his watch. • "Morning already!" he said; "my watch is only at ten. But there can be nu mistake about 11.—The Instincts of the lower animals are infallible." There was a roar of laughter.

Ono of tht Possibilities of Continued Uto of Lecithin. The process by which a human being, or other animal grows is something of a mystery, and nobody knows why development comes to an end at a certain stage of life. It is supposed that an alligator continues to grow throughout Its entire life, and the same may.be true of some other reptiles; but the growth period of a mammal is usually limited to about one-fifth of the term of its natural existence. If development during that period can be accelerated the size of the animal at maturity will be greater. Hence, it is thought that children judiciously dosed with lecitian may in this way be made to grow taller and more muscular. Perhaps, indeed, by this simple means we may yet be able to create a race of giants, such as the people described in the story o. H. G. Wells, who owe their enormous size to a wonderful food.

The trophies of the battle are 35 guns. 0,050 shells, 5,574 rifles, 78,000 ammunition, etc. The dead of the enemy were all burled with military honors. The Russian total casualties are estimated at 150,000. Tokio, Oct. 22.—The armies of Oyama and Ktoropatklu continue to confront each other, but neither has again assumed the. aggressive. According to a report from the Japanese 'Manchurlan headquarters, telegraphed yesterday, It Is reported that the Russians are massing a heavy force against the right army, but the purpose of this force is not indicated.

RIGHTING OF WRONGS. Panamana Look for It From Secretary Toft's Vlatt. The modification of the Hay-Bunau- Vardla canal treaty in several important respects and the negotiation between the Washington and Panama governments of a supplementary commercial treaty granting to Panama important concessions is what the Panamans hope to obtain as a result of Secretary Taft's mission to the isthmus, according to a statement made to the Associated Press by Senor Obaldia, the Pa us man minister at Washington.

The heavy concentration of both Russians and Japanese between the Mandarin road and the railroad makes certain a tremendous collision at this point. The Chinese population in both the Russian and Japanese spheres of operation is suffering severely, and the correspondents urge that measures be taken to restrict'marauding. No Peace Overture*. An announcement from Washington saying that the administration believed the time for mediation'in the war was approaching has created an unfavorable Impression in Russian government circles at St. Petersburg, where there is at? Inclination, to associate it with the Linterview of fhe Assoc i a ted Press with a diplomat at Tokio suggesting the^ro^ priety of renewing the efforts in behalf of the restoration of peace. The idea of peace, it is asserted here, could hardly come more inopportunely, with the Japanese in the full flush of victory. It has aroused only 'resentment"and there is no doTrbtrthat if President Roosevelt should actually attempt to open the question at this time he would meet with a rebuff. P A C I F Y P A N A M A .

" In the time of our Saxon ancestors the freemen in every shire met twice a year under the presidency of the shire reeve, or sheriff, and this meeting was called the sheriff's torn. By degrees the freemen declined giving their personal attendance, aud a freeman who did attend carried with him the proxies of such of his friends as could not appear. He who actually went to the sheriff's torn was said, according to the old Saxon, to go "at the torn," and hence came the word «ttorney, which signified one who went to the torn for others, carrying with him a power to act or vote for those who employed him.

According to Statistician Edward W. Parker of the United States geological survey it will be from 180 to «30 years before anthracite coal will be exhausted In this"country, although were the present rate of exhaustion and waste to continue the end would come in eighty years. But while he anticipates some Increase in this direction in the next decade, after that he looks for a marked tendency to economize the supply. He notes the interesting fact that, although the production of anthracite has not kept pace with that of bituminous coal, it has Increased faster than the P°Pula" ~tion in the region where most of ii is consumed. In 1880, he says, 1.82 tons of anthracite were produced for each inhabitant of the anthracite using portion of the country. This was increased to 2.47 tons per capita by 1890, and In 1900 to 2.53 tons. Using the entire population of the United States as the basis the per capita production of bituminous coal was .85 ton in 1880, 1.76 tons in 1890 and 2.76 tons in 1900. In 1860 two-third's of the coal produced in the United States, was Pennsyl vania anthracite, while, in 1870 an thracite constituted one-half the total, arid for the last five years it has amounted to about one-fifth. The;Mission of Whls&y, Tobacco and Coffee.'( The Creator made aft things, we b > lleve. If so, He must have anade these. We know what He made food and water for, and air and sunshine, but why Whisky, Tobaccaraud Coffee? They are here s.ur$ enough and each performing its work. There must be some great plan behind it all; the tioughtful man seeks to understand something of that plan and thereby to judge these articles for their true worth. —Let UB IHJI say "bad" Of -"good" Moves Pianos Without Jar. Hoisting large and bulky articles to the upper floors of a building takes skill and experience, and is seldom attempted except by those acquainted with the business. The method or dinarlly used is to put up a block ^anllackTeT whichIs always very cumbersome and in which heavy timbers ~os~ without taking testimony. There are times and conditions when it certainly seems to the casual observer that these stimulant narcotics are real blessings. Right there is the ambush that conceals a "killing" enemy. One can slip into the habit of either whisky, tobacco or coffee easy enough, but to "untangle" is often a fearful struggle. It seems plain that there are circumstances when the narcotic effect of these poisons is for the moment beneficial, but the fearful argument against them is that seldom ever does one find a steady user of either whisky, coffee or tobacco free from disease of some kind. Certainly powerful elements in their effect on the human race. It is a matter of daily history, testified to by literally millions of people, that Whisky, Tobacco and Coffee are 4us44tog,promising^begailine friends Moves Piano Without Jar. are necessary. A Canadian has devised the very useful apparatus showD in the illustration. It is designed ioi the purpose of hoisting and putting through windows in the upper stdrles of buildings large, heavy and bulkj articles. The apparatus is so con structed that it can be set to com municate with the first, second and third stories of buildings and wher the work is done it can be quickly taken down and compactly put to gether for transportation. One of the chief advantages is that large articles can be put through the windows, as the parts .take tip little space. Pianos could be hoisted with little or nc strain to the instrument, with no dan ger of scratches. It would also do away with the trouble of getting up narrow stairways and passing around sharp corners. The article to be hoisted is placed on the carrier, whicb Is raised by the usual rope run, ovei pulleys and attached to a roller turned by a crank. Riggers could use this apparatus to advantage, as could also piano movers or movers of safes. Lorenzo D. Frazer of Toronto, Ont., is the patentee. on the start, but always false as hell itself in the end. Once tney get nrm 7^7" enough to show their strength, they insist upon governing and drive the victim* steadily toward ill health in some form; if permitted to continue 'to rule, they will not let up until physical and mental ruin sets in. A man under that spell (and "under the spell" is correct) of any one of these drugs frequently assures himself and his friends, "Why, I can lea-;e oft any time I want to. I did quit for a week just to show I could." It Is a sure mark of the slave when one gets to that stage. He wiggled through a week, fighting every day to break the "spell, was finally whipped, and began his slavery all over again. The slave (Coffee slave as well as Tobacco and Whisky) daily reviews his condition, sees perfectly plain ihe 3teady encroachments of disease, how the nerves get weaker day by day and demand tbe-drug that seems to smile, and offer relief for a few minutes and then leave the diseased condition plainer to view than ever and growing worse. Many times the Coffee slave realizes that he is between two fires.' He feels bad if he leaves off and a tittleworse-if he drinks and-^llow^- the effect to wear off. So it goes on from day to day. Every night the struggling victim promises himself that he will break the habit, and next day when he fe6ls a little bad (as he is quite sure to), breaks, not the habit, but his own resolution. It is nearly always a tough tight, with dlseatsler ahead sure If thehabit wins. There have been hundreds of thousands of people driven to their graves through disease brought on by coffee drinking alone,-aud it-is quite certain that more human misery is caused by coffee and tobacco than by whisky, for the two first are more widely used, and more hidden and insidious in the effect on nerves, heart and other vital organs, and are thus unsuspected until much of the dangerous work is done Now, Reader, what Is your opinion as to the real use the Creator has for these things. Take a look at the question from this point of view. There is a law of Nature and of Nature's God that things slowly evolve 'from lower planes to higher, a sturdy, steady and dignified advance toward more perfect things in both the. Physical and Spiritual world. The ponderous tread of evolutionary development is fixed by the Infinite and- will not be quickened out of natural law by any of man's methods. Therefore we see many illustrations showing how nature checks too rapid advance. Illinois raises phenomenal crops of corn for two or three years. If she continued to do so every year nata the world pe/hap* for all tin*. But Dame Nature sets her artsy of levelers" at work—luxury, overeating and drinking, licentiousness, waste and extravagance, indulgences of all kinds-—then comes the wreck. 8urc, Sure, 8ure. The law of the unit is the. law of the mass/ M«n goes through the same process. Weakness (in childhood)> gradual growth of strength, energy, thrift, probifo prosperity, *.?ealth. comfort, ease, relaxation, self-indulgence, luxury, idleness, waste, debauchery, disease, and the wreck follows. The "levelers" are in the bushes along the pathway of every successful man and woman, and they bag the, majority. Only now and then can a man stand out against these "levelers" and hold his end. So the Creator has use for Whisky, Tobacco and eoffee to level down the successful ones and those who show signs of being successful, and keep them back in the race, so that the great "field" (the masses) may not be left too far behind. And yet we must admit that same all-wise Creator has placed it in the power of man to stand upright, clothed in the armor of a clean-cut steady mind, and say unto himself, "I decline to exchange my birthright for a mess of pottage. "i will not deaden my senses, weaken my grip on affairs and keep myself cheap, common and behind in fortune and fame by drugging with whisky, tobacco or coffee. Life Is too short. It is hard enough to win the good things without any sort of handicap, so a man is certainly a 'fool trader' when he trades strength, health, money and the good things that come with power for the half-asleep condition of the 'drugger' with the certainty 4>f—64ckaeas~^nd=4isease-ab.eai It Is a matter each individual must decide for himself; He can be a leader and semi-god if he will, or he can go along through life a drugged clown, a cheap "hewer of wood or carrier of water." Certain It is that while the Great Father of us all does not seem to "mind" it some of his children are foolish and stupid, he seems to select others (perhaps those he intends fcr some special work) and allows them to be threshed and castigated most fearfully by these "levelers." If a man tries flirting with these levelers a while, and gets a few slaps as a hint, he had better take the hint, or a good solid blow wTH follow Making Market Butter.

A few small particles of butter may be lost in the buttermilk, ^ but with fine butter granules it is posfortune, fame and health to the|sible to hold 2 per cent-more moisture in the butter in r very finely divided .condition, giving the butter a much drier appearance. In washing butter a quantity of water equal to the buttermilk removed should be used. The temperature of the wash water should be such as wt;i leave the butter neither too bard nor too soft for working. Butter should be salted In the cnurn whether the combined churn is in use or not An easily soluble salt, ncjt too fine grained should be used. It should be spappiled as to be thoroughly mixed through the butter with the minimum amount of working. From three quarters to jone and one-half ouncea will be required according to the condition and amount of moisture in butter and the demands of the market.

They had asked various creamerymen for advice and were told that the most Important thing to do was to hire a first class buttermaker and not allow a few dollars In wages to stand in the way. They, however, were of the opinion that a good enough man could be obtained for $35 or $40 and got a young man for the latter figure. In four months they lost nearly $400 on the butter aod the day I got there he had-left them after washing up and when I got there about 7 o'clock in the evening the cream was at a temperature of 70 and had 6¾ degrees of acidity, plenty ripe enough to churn. There was no water in the glass on the boiler and no water in the tank and the pump was broken and the churn which was a new one was in a very bad condition. I got some Ice and cooled the cream down and stayed two days breaking in a new man, who I am pleased to say has been having good success, some of the credit for which may be due to his wife, who works in the creamery with him.—Prof. J.

A Philadelphia man claims to have overcome the difficulties besetting those who have attempted to make alloys of copper and iron, and to have discovered a process of alloying these metals perfectly homogeneously. The process consists of melting coppei with a mixture of oxide iron and 6alcium carbide. Any oxide of iron, either hematite or the black oxide, can be used. A mixture of three parts of oxide of Iron and one part calcium carbide is made, and, if It is desired to obtain a 50 per cent alloy her farmers would advance In wealth of copper and iron, eighteen parts of far beyond those^of other sections or tbis- mixture should be used to eight countries. The copper is melted turn to health and all of the good things that brings, provided the abuse has not gone too far, and even then the cases where the body has been rebuilton- a basis ^>f strength and health run into the thousands.

Seldom is it. more than two days after the change is made before the old stomach or bowel troubles or complaints of kidneys, heart, head or nerves show unmistakable evidence of getting better and ten days' time changes things wonderfully.

South Bend, Ind., Oct. 24 (Special) —After suffering from Kidney Disease for three years; after taking treatment from six different doctors without getting relief, Mr. J. O. Laudeman of this place found not only relief but a speedy and complete cure In Dodd's Kidney Pills. Speaking of his cure Mr. Laudeman says: "Yes, I suffered from Kidney Trouble for, three years and tried *lx doctors to no good. Then I took Just two boxes of Dodd's Kidney Pills and they not only cured my kidneys, but gave me better health In general. Of course I recommended Dodd's Kidney Pills to others and I know a number now who are using them with good results." Mr. Laudeman's case la not an exception. Thousands give similar experlences. For there never yet was a case of Kidney Trouble from Backache to Brlght's Disease that Dodd's Kidney Pills could not cure. They are the only remedy that ever^cured Brlght's disease.

There is unmistakably a growing interest in the work of the society. The president, Mrs. Pearce and vice president, Mrs. Houghtahng, gained many friends tor themselves and the cause by their pleasing ^efficient manner. The reply to the committee of "fifty*1 was well bandied. To them who did not have the pleasure of 4istening to this we would say that there is movement on foot that means more to us as parents than this subject treated by this committee. **<t means just this— in congress a company* of gentlemen organized under the name of "Committee of Fifty" to-investigate the liquor problem. In June 1903 they -4woliahecL-i!H> volumes* AJJiircUof the first volume is devoted to the discussion ot our national system of public school study which study of phvsiology and hygiene, which includes and effects of alcoholic narcotics upon the the nature drinks and other human system. This is a study which is now mandatory in the public school of every state in the Union and in all schools under federal control. That it is the intention of this Com. to overthrow this movement is clearly stated in what they say, i. e. that the removal of this educational excrescence will be no easy task.is evident from the result of the attempt ,in this direction, made in Massacbussets during the session cf the legislature in 1899. A prolonged'struggle will l,e neccessary to free our public sthool system from the incuhus which rests upon it. In this struggle the "Committee ot Fifty" should speak &itb po uncertain voice. Certainly we as free-horn citizens of the U, S. must be on the watch that no committee influenced by the liqaior traffic, get control of our public education.

On the other hand, the5domestic cat shrinks from immersion and drowns quickly. The nostrils of some small animals are so placed as to render breathing very difficult when they are in the water. Among these are mice and rabbits, which will drown without sinking beneath the surface. "RMLS ate excellent owimmers, Almost all birds except those which are distinctly natutorial are nearly helpless in water. Small birds in particular have no power of propulsion, and, though they do not sink, they drown quickly. Even many species of waterfowl rise from the water with difficulty or not at all when their wings are wet.

Veils hay© become a very important accessory of the up-to-date woman's wardrobe. Many of them are not only unattractive, but are also unbecoming. The draped veil is considered modish. The best of this variety are of fine chiffon with a hemstitched hem or ribbon border. Beneath this is worn a dotted veil.

All shades and colors are permissible hr t h e draped veil, but brown, blue and black are favored. Ulack and green, blue and black are admissible combinations. Some of the expensive chiffon veils are hand-embroidered in dots and figures and shaded colors. The First Styles in Furs. Advanced styles in furs show the most elaborate combinations seen in years. Lace, particularly Irish point aud guipure, is combined with fur In wraps, boas and stoles. The muffs have great ruffles of lace on either end. Wraps are trimmed elaborately with narrow fur bands. A favorite combination is black velvet with sable fur and Irish point. For wear with such a wrap there comes an enormous dire ctoire. hat of black "velvet, and around the crown is a four-inch band o* Irish point, edged with narrow .sable bands.

There follows the prucession of the generations. The tiles crack, the woodwork of the archoo splits and falls and the walls break and crumble.

Chenille finds considerable favor for hats and shapes made entirely or partially of chenille are on show in very great variety. Some of the novelties in this line are checkered with a broad, simple design i n clustered beads, rather large cut jet beads and also white and colored pearls being used for the purpose. Others have similar designs carried in small plumage gummed t o the foundation. In the latter the effect is marked, for, whereas the beads stand out in relief from the chenille ground, the plumage forms what looks like an impressed design. These chenille shapes need little trimming, and are very effective. They are of a moderate size. notes o r American currency.—Outing T h e Present the Only Time.

A crowd standing around one of the bookmakers at Overland park, Denver, one day during the races was given an opportunity to have a little joke on that self-important person, who was Interrupted in his talk to the men by a well-dressed man who forced his way to^him and said something excitedly. The bookmaker beat on the railing before him and called for attention. "Gentlemen," he shouted. "I have been asked to say that a pocket book containing $500 has been lost or stolen from a gentleman here who says he will give a reward of $50 for it. —"gpvAnty.rivfl dollars?" yelled some wag on the outskirts of the crowd. "Ninety dollars!" came from some one else instantly. "One hundred dollars!" "One hundred and—twenty-five-dollars!''-i'Qne. hundred and fifty dollars!"

I believe in the economical' administration of every department of the state government and that the burden of taxation should be reduced whenever possible without injury to any cf our state institutions. If elected, I shall work for a Jaw regulating the speed pf automobiles on the highway; for an amendment to to the present law under which the state pays the stock raiser but SI 00 per head tor all farm animals ordered killed by the state veterinary because of contagious diseases, and whuh wiil provide, as is the case in other states, ihat Hirst ate shall pay-n^on—appraia* al by a board of three appraisers not exceeding one hundred dollars for horses, fifty dollars for cattle and cows, and ten. dollars for hogs and sheep: and for a law providing (or the appointment of a state grain inspector to grade correctly grain shipped into Detroit.

The most extraordinary feature of this scare, which w a s serious enough while it lasted, is that there was not one single circumstance to Justify It. It started early in the day when the newspapers announced the deoarture of the Russian Baltic squadron from Vigo. The- public were not in possession of the information cabled to the United States that only the officers concerned in the firing on Jhe British trawlers would be detached, and jumped at the conclusion that Russia had broken faith by not detaining the vessels involved in the affair. Finally the foreign office decided to adopt a course most unusual for It, and in order to allay the public excitement, gave out to the press the following statement; "Before the Russian fleet left Vigo instructions were given to the Russian admiral with the view to preventing injury or Inconvenience to neutral shipping during the passage of the Russian fleet to the far east. In compliance wtth Russia's en-i gagemenT~Tour Russian officers have been left behind at Vigo.

It Is constituted as follows: W. K. Thompson, master of the South Carolina grange, chairman; B. G. Lecdy, 3 a s t e r of the Oregon grange; Governor . J. Bachelder, master of the New Hampshire grange; W. F. Hill, uiaste,- of the Tennsylvauia^ grange, sittd F. B. Woleott. ."master of the Kentucky grange. It is thought that some feasible plan may be adopted at the next session of the national grange for this class of insurance. Fire Insurance has been a wonderful- success and has had much to do with increasing the mem ihlp in the grange, as it 1» not only best but the cheapest insurance obtainable. , New Hampshire has had a grange =ttfe4n&ufau€e^eonipany ter4faJ£tyH^&cs. and it is In a prosperous condition. The states of Oregon and Washington have a similar insurance company together, but there are probably not more than half a dozen of them, if as many, in the United States. While there is much to b§ said in favor of this proposition, it also has its objections, and it would probably require years to bring it to as ^rreat perfection as the Are insurance companies have reached.

The cradles of the ninth and tenth centuries were formed of a section of the trunk of a tree, scooped out, with small holes bored at the sides through which to pass the cords back and forth to prevent the child from falling out. The natural convex* ity o t the wood on the outside enabled the nurse to rock the infant.

The Whistling Toad. In the Caribbean islands there is a toad that whistles.

Agnes Ufestley 616 Wells Street Marinette.Wis. 816 Wells Street, MAKIKKTTE, W I S . , Sept. 26,1903. I was all run down from nervousness and overwork and had to resign my position and take a rest. I found that I was not gaining my strength and health as fast as I could wish, and as your Wine of Cardui was recommended as such a good medicine for the ills of oar sex, I bought a bottle and began using it. J was satisfied with the results from the use of the first bottle, and took three more and then found I was restored to good health and strength and able to take up my work with renewed vigor. I consider it a fine tonic and excellent for worn-out, nervous condition, and am pleased to endorse it. AGNES WESTLEY, See^r, Forth WIMOUSIB Holland Sodtty. Secure a $1.00 bottle of Wine of,.

"Some smokers prefer a cigar that is damp to one that is dry," says a cigar manufacturer, "and in showing this preference I think they make a mistake. ' A cigar that is too dry will, of course, cajise a little annoyance from dust, but a cigar that is as damp as many smokers prefer it will not have as good an aroma as the other and will not burn so well. A medium cigar, in respect to these conditions, is best, but between a damp and a dry cigar J would always take the dry one and thus secure the better smoke."—St. Louis Globe-Democrat.

"There were a lot of rats in the storage room of my stable," writes a Citizen of Johannesburg, South Africa, "and we had great difficulty in getting at them. They were shy of all traps and did a tremendous lot of damage at night, lying quiet all day. At length I put in the room a square tin lined box about two feet deep and in it placed some burned cheese. The rats immediately got interested in the cheese, climbed up the outside of the box and, having got inside, could not ascend the slippery tin lining. In this way we killed a great many. / "One morning my children took a cat, which was a very good raster, and placed i|,|n the box, where tnere was already a' good sized rat./The cat Instead of tackling the rat, appeared to make friends with Itr~Th^y~put their noses together and frisked around, but no harm was done, and eventually the cat jumped out, refusing to tackle the rat "The>c1aildren then put in a keen dachsfiund, which immediately snapped at the rat and missed It.

He used to be'quite a teaTeT^buT since"our engagement be seems, to have forsworn everything exciting." t The first speaker was Miss Treadway, the girl's aunt, a wealthy woman of forty years, who had-adopted her after the death of her parents. Flossie's fiance, a young doctor of good family and some means, was completing a medical course in Germany, and they were to be married as soon as he received his foreign diploma. The girl loved him, but she was very young—only nineteen—and she was a willful maid, having always had ' her own way. Her besetting sin was love of admiration, and she deemed it essentia4-to her happiness to have a man in her toils. So, being for the time bereft of her lover, she had Irifted into a serious flirtation with a rich bachelor who lived near the seaside resort where they were staying. Mr. Trevor's summer home, a fine stone mansion overlooking the harbor, was the scene of many festivities. He had already given two dinners in Flossie's honor at which functions Miss Treadway had served as an unwilling chaperon. "Flossie," said Miss Treadway, "I think you ought to consider Mr. Trevor's feelings. It is not fair to him; he does not know about Tom. Perhaps you had better tell him?" "And spo_i_l_all my fun?

At first her expression was slightly bored, then astonished, and finally she threw the sweets and the letter on the floor, flung herself face down ou a couch and commenced weeping.

When she was alone Flossie curled her dainty self in a large easy chair and laughed softly as she recalled her aunt's words. \ "Lose__Tom^ she repeated. "No danger of that—couldn't get rid of him my hotel is in one of the best streets here, and that from my windows I can see^ much of the beauty and fashion of Berlin. However, I never dreamt of sueh-a vision- of lo vliness as the piece of femininity whose acquaintance I made yesterday." At this Flossie's blue eyes opened wide, she sat up, loosened her hold on the chocolates, and read on: "The object of my admiration sat in her carriage alone and unattended just below my window. Suddenly 1 heard the rush of a runaway horse from the opposite direction, and seeing her alarm L hastened, down the steps and assisted her to the pavement. She smiled, sweetly and was about to speak when her attendant returned and she re-entered the carriage and was rapidly driven away; not for- .getting to throw me a kiss as she was lost lo view. "The world seemed a blank without her" (here Flossie's expression became indignant); "I found on inquiry that she was staying at my hottfl, and so had grounds for hope of a speedy meeting. That nightJor the first time in years my-dreams, were not, of .yOIL alone, the beautiful blonde appeared to me more than once, always with that charming smile!" "Fancy!" exclaimed Flossie.

She bent over the prostrate form and said: "Flossie, dear; tell aunty." The girl only cried the more, but at last wailed, "That man; that wicked, false man!" "Wlto do you mean?" asked the bewildered woman. "Tom! See the letter on the floor!" Mrs. Treadway picked up the letter, put on her glasses and began to read; at ' first she looked puzzled, then amused, and finally she laughed outright. % "Why don't you finish the letter?" Rhe asked, witn a quizzical expression in her kindly eyes. "Because 1 won't!'1 cried Flossie, springing to her feet. "Never mention that man to me again. Where are my hat and myr jacket?

There are many things, besides sorrow's self, that come through sorrow's gate—gentleness, sympathy, strength, beautiful traits of character, which seem to find no other mode of entrance into life. Long for unclouded joy as we may, It still remains true few of use would choose for our t valued friend one who has never realized in business and society, in politics and religion; more generosity, more love, niore hope, more truth than ever the world has seen. Before the door of each, blocking its entrance, lies a stone of human selfishness or indifference or greed or falsehood To remove these is not God's work, but ours, "Take ye away the stone;" lift, at any rate, your share. That is our responsibility and our bearing toward it will at the last be the true measureXof our life's significance.— Rev. Herbert Shipman. The Constant Christian. Constancy, stability among Christians, is currency above par. The exigencies of the Lord's work are such that we cannot afford to be unstable. The unstable Christian is one of the greatest stumbling-blocks in the way of sinners. . Thousands of men outside the church give this as the main reason for their active oppod~_ The__gyjH^ that^have not sitlon or a p^heilc^j^ijfjrence to wn tears must needs lack something o f tenderness. The heart that never has been torn with anguish and loss has never sounded its own depths. and cannot measure, those of another. The soul grows strong through storm and conflict, if It ever grows strong at all, and, however sweet a nature may be, we find it incomplete and unsatisfying if it has never known the softening, hallowing touch of grief. There are dark pages- in our lives where we would gladly have changed the story If we eould. There are wounds that still ache, losses that even yet are hard to bear; but however we may feel about the sorrow itself, there are few of us who would be willing to give up all that it brought and taught us—to be just what we were before it touched- us. There are some precious gains that come through sorrow's gate. Our Share in God's Work. Jesus said, Take ye away the stone.—St. John xl., 39. Jesus said this at the grave of Lazarus. The question naturally suggests itself. Why could not the power abUTir-to" restore-the dead to life do this smaller thing as well? The answer is, that it could, but so could human power and, therefore, it was required of human power to do. it. This incident reveals a principle of God's working in the world. It is rGfotrs win to help~men; it is also His will that men shall develop by using their own strength.—Hence his settied purpose is to do nothing for us which we can and should do for ourselves. He lays no burdens on us which we cannot bear. He helps us i>earJLhe_Jourdens we must to^ the^ limit of our need; but He will not let us unload on Him any work or duty. or responsibility which belongs to us. If we shirk or throw it off, it lies where we abandoned it until some better man takes it up. Man's work —and there is a great deal of it which we are praying God to do, and wondering why He Is so. long about it; wondering, it may be, whether He is, since He does not do it—man's work must be done by men. More and more as we grow into the meaning of life we ought to thank Almighty God that He holds us to our work; thank Him for the rough and the sting and trie climb and the fight of life, through which come the jth and heights and victories; J&tm that H e lays respohsibilius; that He leans down— ^that He is—and says to each There is a work to be done, our work; here is a right thing to be forwarded; heire far a -truth to be brought to light and a wrong to be swept away; here a soul to be given life. The miracle beyond your power is Mine, but "Take ye away the stone;" put away,tbi*hmbtt, thla influence, this self-conceit, this Ignorrived at his home, took out hi of keys, at last found the elusive hole and softly opening the/door and discarding his i^oe**t Jh>foot of the stairs, climbed heavenward on all fours.

Stepping quickly over to the USCLB SAM—"A Rtmcdy TJtmt Jto B0 I* Bv0ry Horn: Christianity. The unstable Christian is a reproach to his profession, a reproach to his church, and a reproach to his Christ. Constancy, stability, is one of_the Christian w^ker's strongest assets. Many of us may not be able to engineer vast enterprises in the church, many of us may not have the natural powers and gifts of some of our brethren, many of us may not have enthusiastic, hopeful and positive natures; but there is not one of us, not one but can be constant in our efforts as Christians in our own sphere, if we will take ourselves and our profession seriously. It is not child's play to be a representative of Christ. It is the work of a man, and worth that man's highest thought^ and best endeavor. Nothing among the socalled negative vices undermines character like instability. Nothing so stamps a man as useless to his church, to his community, and to his Christ, as inconstancy. On the other hand, nothing tends to build up a noble and exalted character so much as constancy and faithfulness nothing tering and conceit of clever men or will be more likely to raise a man's I the vrorry of-society or-the- meanness usefulness to his highest notch than these qualities.

Japan unofl|cially_has_inade representations to Russia lboklug to pPlic^ This action has resulted in failure and such representations even privately, are not likelj to be repeated by .la pan. Although the suggestion of a pacific settlement was made unofficially, it actually had behind it all the weight of an offer by the Japanese government. It was direct to Russia. No power acted as an intermediary. The proposition WHS put forward tentativel y and unofficially, so that the Jap anese government would'be in a position to deny any report that it was suing for pence The failure of these direct negotiations, however, resulted in bringing Intervention within a measurable distance. Evacuate Manchuria. A dispatch from Washington confirming the statement that Japan had indicated her willingness to entertain peace suggestions from President Roosevelt or King Edward created much interest in London. Baron Hay- 'ushi, the> Japanese minister, said: "After the fall "of Tort Arthur. Japan would, I believe, .be ready to treat for pence on no higher essentia! basis than that Russia should evacuate Manchuria. Japan also agreeing to - Jdmilur eyjicuiitlon. The two great difficulties in the way of any suggestion of peace are. first, the apparent opposition of Kini>eror Nicholas's Resolved, That the Democrats of the south do not send.delegates t o national Democratic conventions, that the electors from the southern states maintain their old constitutional privilege and vote in the electoral college for the presidential candidate, regardless of politics, who seems to them most likely to offer to the sauth its greatest advantages." Should such a resolution be vassed it would be referred to the'several state conwnSttees and by them to the peopte of the states for ratification. Wttkla Stoat's Throw. TnT^Rnssian-Ttnd Japaiiese^riniej^ extending from BentsUmitze east to the Liao river west at places are almost within a stone's throw of each other. At Bentsiaputze, not more than 400 yards separate the advance posts, and at Slnchlnpu. on the Shakhe river, just west of the railway a n d 1 5 miles south of Mukden, the Japanese and Russians occupy the extreme ends of the same village. At Huaugahantse the Russian center has thrown advance posts across the Shakhe river. Both armies are still strengthening their positions all along the line. The slightest movement on either side is the signal for firing, which occasionally lasts all night The Japanese on Saturday night attacked some of the Russian outposts in considerable force, but the Russians had been j warned and the Japanese were re- 1 pulsed. They were not able to take f awav all their killed or wounded, leaving 28 bodies on the field. The Russians lost only nine men. iL, L.

Operating a Cold Frame. J, H.-*-Please describe the operating Coffee Known for Centurlea. A pamphlet published by an Arab sheik in 1566 sheds light upon tbe origin and early use of coffee. This Arab sheik asserted that coffee was introduced into Arabia from Abyssinia about the opening of the fifteenth century and that it had been known as a beverage in the latter country from tbe most remote period. Its peculiar properties were taken advantage of by the Mohammedans In connection with their prolonged religious ceremonies, .hut its use as a devotional antisoporiflc stirred up the fiercest opposition on the part of the orthodox element of the priests.. Coffee was declared to be an intoxicant and was accordingly prohibited in the koran, but in spite of this the coffeedrinkinghabit spread rapidly. For two centuries the world's suppTy^f coffee was obtained from the province ~of Yemen in —southern -Arabia, wnere the well-known Mocha is stlU cultivated. Mirrors Used by Anglers. ., Rather a quaint idea comes from France, where anglers are in some waters using a tiny mirror attached to the line near the baited hook. The idea Is that the fish, seeing itself reflected, hastens to snatch the bait from its supposed rival. Very successful results have been obtained through the employment of this Sim pie device.

One of the professional beggars whose "lay" is along Broad street from Chestntrt to South has evolved a new style of * approach which is bringing him in large returns. He studies the feet of passers-by, and when he sees a man coming along in shined, or in shoes that have been new shoes that have been recently shined, he takes a stand directly in the way of his intended victim and stares hardly at those same shoes. Of course the pedestrian stops short and looks down at his feet to see what is the matter with them. Then the beggar remarks, as if to himself, but in a tone which you may wager the victim hears well enough: "My! I wisht I had a pair of shoes as good as them is."

I took occasion recently to say at our grange meeting in the presence of so called professional men that the primary function of the Order w a s ^social, ethical and civic uplift; that so long as oue-thirg of our population was agricultural there rested upon this Order more than the burden of purely agricultural matters, and that its influence should reach out and impregnate the life of our small country towns—aye, even the interior rural cities of the land, that are largely dependent upon country blood for municipal development— and that we welcomed these men and women from other walks of ilfe_who_camg^witU thought, culture and a proper conception" of _ home and civic duty to our ranks, so Tong^nrTneTeWdersTflp,Inspiration, "influence and guiding light came from the farmer and the farm home. Such assimilation with the farmer—the host —is sure to lead the town man to great er charity for others and blessing to himself. The grange passed through a period of sloughing off this professional and mercantile acquisition twenty-flve years ago, because those men sought to make the Order subservient to their own selfish interests. The farmers had not at that time, however, developed that ability for leadership manifest now. If the farm influence is again permitted to give way to foreign manipulation then is our fate sealed and a period of decay must again prevail.

A noted dressmaker said in explanation of this fact: "The street is to us dressmakers what a picture gallery is to artists—a grand storehouse of ideas. On the street we are always on the lookout for new fashions, and from the neck down we study every person that passes, for from one we may get a new skirt pattern, from another a new sleeve, from a third a new collar, and so on.

Between the blood of men and apes there are many points of similarity and evidences of a distinct relationship, but the blood of monkeys can readily be distinguished from that of men. The difference is more or less marked, according to the species, the greatest resemblance being seen in the case of the gorilla and the least with the lemurs, a small species about the size of a cat and having a face somewhat like a fox. A singular fact Is that, judged by the blood, there is less evidence of relationship found in the American families of apes than in those of the old world,—Harper's Weekly, cold business point of view.

Trial bottles Oofrtekoa l a H There are several instances on record where in South Africa the white master or black servant has trained one or more ostriches to harness-and— has driven them regularly in a light trap or even ridden them like a horse. It need hardly be said that ostriches are extremely swift when used la such a ^way *»4 can— cover_a tremendous number of miles a day if not given too heavy a load. They have even been known to show real signs of enjoyment and pleasure at being in harness, and certainly they go to work with a will when thoroughly __tamed^ in this manner. Staple Llvlaj*. It Is not the aggregation Of wealth which makes people happy, but the contentment found in the ways of a simple livlug. While luxuries increase, often thoughtlessly encouraged, the, necessities of life are lost sight of. It is an important problem to solve what to do to help home building, though it takes no great calculation to find out the fact that 100 families in small homes of a thousand or two thousand dollars each are great consumers and producers of business and trade than one or two families with all their servants in a $100,000 mansion. Thorns, thistles and wild carrots will disappear from the fields and waste city lots if the idle land is utilized for garden or farm homes.—-Hartford Times. Kindliness Aston* Bird*. I have seen a little chipping sparrow make-a-^usinees^f-feeding some hah! fledged robins. She watched for her opportunity, and whenever both parent robins were away from the nest she rushed in with her morsel. The robins resented her offlclousness and hustled her out of the tree whenever they caught her there. I have heard of a wren that fed a brood of young robins in a similar way and of a male bluebird that fed some young birds that were in a nest near its own.—John Burroughs in Outing.

The errors made by t h e home eleven were costly. Pour touchdowns were made by the Ann Arbor eleven, all earned by hard played football, marked by a few brillint dashes through, but bv one run* of any great length—that a sprint for 45 yards made by Heston—the ball being advanced generally by t h e onslaughts of Hestcm.

Three of these touchdowns came in the first half, and one. t h e one above referred to, in the second. Chicago got one in each half, t h e first being earned by a great exhibition of line bucking, after an error of judgment in the backfleld had put the IT. of M. within striking distance of t h e goal. The other was floky in its nature, Eckersall snatching t h e ball out of t h e a i r after one of Michigan's too numerous fumbles, and running utoblocked for 35 yards for a touchdown. The second half was a liard-fought and fast-played battltf for t h e game and resulted In a score of 22 to 12 in favor of Michigan. The attendance was not less than 10.000.

The natives who live on the coast of Alaska have a somewhat harder struggleJor existence than do their reindeer breeding neighbors of the interior. All during the year the former are forced to wage a ceaseless warfare upon the whale, seal and walrus for subsiste n c e . In gathering their Thanksgivi n g repast or feast the efforts of the whole household are employed. In November and all through the winter hunting of the se^ animals-is mainly "carried on through—botes- in the ice. Fish is obtained entirely in this manner. A young girl will sit on block* of ice, covered with a few skins, all day fishing, in the face of a bitter wind, with the temperature 60 degrees below zero. In hunting the seals young boys Ideate the openings witti_keen-scented dogs trained for the purpose. The seals, as well oas the^walruses, are compelled to frequent these for occasional breathing spells. Beside one of these Assures the hunter will watch for hours, waiting for his prey.. As soon as the amtmal is heara blowing he quickly iWBiges his harpoon down into the k4tjpP with alibis strength. The woundvjilteal or walrus at once pulls strong- -ly_on the coll, but soon becomes exklUed prized and appetizing of all their animal diet. No feast, Thanksgiving or otherwise, is considered complete without the head, which is thought to be the most delicious part The most welcome son of the household is the one seen approaching the camp with a large walrus head on his back Life among the reindeer breeders of the interior is a trifle easier and more assured than that of the coast people, but the diet is wellnigh as poor and scanty, the reindeer furnishing food, clothing and transportation. The neighborhood of a herder's household or camp, as it will be found on Thanksgiving day, is probably one of the most isolated and dreary on the globe. His skin tent abode is pitched on the desolate, snow covered tundra, far from the outposts of civilization. The herder is the record breaking mover of the world. Every fortyeight hours for nine months his frail tent home 1B pulled down and set up again in the vicinity of his ever roving flock. The deer are not allowed to feed long on one pasture, as the constant scraping of their hoofs harders the snow, and it becomes difficult for them to get at the moss underneath. Large herds have to move every few hours, and are actually WajtaJav Bat*. a s •*9? hausted, and is easily drawn up on the ice. The white whale, on account of its great amount, of oil blubber, as well as meat, is one of the choice food animals. The expert and eager hunter, when first he discovers one of these whale holes, usually five miles or more from snore, out on Uue ice-ftoer rushes at once with the glad tidings to his home: There is at once a great furor and excitement. The sledges are made ready, and the wife—sometimes there are several—together with all the available members of the family, dash over the ice pack to the Vblowhole." Arriving on the scene, harpoons and guns are utilized for shooting and capturing the prey: "About every twaivror eighteen—raja^. kept on the go all the winter, as a territory that has been grazed over for a day is useless till next season. New Mexico is supposed to bepretty and""hwe11 --snppJ4e4~w-ith the ^articles, and comforts of civilization; yet natives of Old Mexico are to be found along the southern border who live in the most primitive way.

The breathing spells only last about two seconds. -Often when the main rising occurs iho hole becomes so filled that the body of a -whale will be pushed two-thirds out of the water and held in this' position for several seconds before going under again.

All the associations controlling the prices of steel are to meet in New York next Tuesday and revise the whole list of prices to suit the new conditions in the iron and steel market. The election of W. L. Douglas as governor of Massachusetts is attributed to the fact that his name is a household word, through his advertising.

Mirrors Used by Anglers. Rather a quaint .idea comes from France, where anglers are in some waters using a tiny mirror attached to the line near the baited hook.

In the Meantime, the situation is growing more threatening. Gov. Peabody, accompanied by armed guards, passed Gov.-eleet Adams, surrounded by friends, on tbe street, and the two refused so much as to salute each other. Each party seemed warlike and it was gossiped about town afterward that this feeling prevails throughout the state, but with greater strength in the mining camps thanin_ihe cities. Business interests outside the state are instructing their agents to "drop Peabody," while resident officials of the Mine Owners' association In Cripple Creek are still clinging to the slogan: "Peabody or nobody." • The mining camps are rapidly filling with members of tbe Western Federation of Miners, and predictions are freely made that disorder is bound to '©COUT at- Victor, Telluride, Cripple reek and Ouray soon after Peabody"s inauguration, should it take place.

Y., tHvaa O rr*si,oic<lent XeU' I'«>#-.': State A PERMANENT INSTITUTION. I ft'" ^: 11 v * I ~* V a s t , P r e s e n t • a m i F u t u r e o f t h e U r a n f « - l t HHN t o m e t o Star* The Iowa Fanner, izt au editorial entitled "The Living (.range," gives "an interesting review of the past, present and future of the Order in that state. It says: •» Our older readers are all familiar with the history of the grange—Its origin in the seventies and mighty protest.against some evils under which farmers were suffering, its permanent influence on legislation, as shown by the phrases in common use— fcranger legislation, granger railroads, etc.—and of the wrecking of the grange In so many western states because its leaders and the people generally paid more .attention to the Immediate work of correcting, present evils than to the permanent work of developing the social and intellectual side of the farmer's life. It may be noted in passing that not only Aid the grange establish in the highest court of the land the right of the people to regulate railroads, but out of the grange grew most of the co-operative movements that have been so effective in recent years. In Iowa, for example, the mutual insurance companies grew for the most part out of the grange; to a less extent co-operative creameries, co-operative •tores and factories.- This we believe to be true In all other states. It naturally would be; When peopte learn -to ktvow each other by meeting monthly or semimonthly for social enjoyment, for comparison of views on public matters or the Study of agricultural questions, partisan animosities are broken' down, and they begin to understand each other and arc thus able to co-operate for «very good work. In the west comparatively few of the original granges remain, but these are centers of agricultural life wherever we find them. A second generation Is now coming up under grange influences, and we do not believe there is one of these living- granges anywhere existing which l a s not had a marked effect for the better In every department of agricultural life. Happy is the community that has a grange hall and regular meetings, where young and old, rich and poor, men and women, boys and girls, meet all together and thus come to know each other and become unified In sentiment and In aim. In this respect the grange meets a long felt want, and it would-be a blessed thing for the entire western country if |he grange or some other organisation covering the same, field, and conducted on the same plan or 'similar lines were organised. Of all the farm organizations that have been organized in the last thirty years the grange is the only one that remains. The farmers' alliance movement sprang up Uke Jonah's gourd in a night, spread over fee country like wildfire, lived JI life of Intense activity for a few years and then passed away. It had a great deal to do with political, parties, and its spirit to some exlent remains, Itrat-tt-dM not-tewfethe real intellectual and social life of the farmer. So with the Farmers' Mutual Benefit.association, and so it will be with all similar associations which are organised in time of some specific object and then pass away as soon as,that object has been accomplished or has' clearly failed of accdrhpTishrnent. The grange-" goes down deeper; it takes hold of the social, intellectual and business life of the community, and when once established and held true to Us original purpose It is there, Orcaalaattoa a €)«*>* Tata*-. It is the duty of any person in uuy Industry or profession to become associated with others la the same industry or profession. If organisation Is good for capita] and labor it 1« good for the farmer. The grange is of benefit in a financial way in the opportunities offered for co-operation. There are three billions of fire insurance which costs less tbau half of what la charged by the stock companies. There la also financial co-operation In the matter of purchasing supplies for the farm, and the grange awakens interest in legislative matters, particularly such aa relate to the farmer*' interest—Governor Bachelder.

One crab was seen by the naturalist Elsig iu"1878 to pluck off soophyles, those plantlike animal colonies which grow on shells and i •tones, and to fix them on the spines and hairs of its shell. A still deeper romance of defensive tactics Is to be found in the case of certain hermit crabs. They live in the castoff shells of whelks and crawl about, house on back. One claw is bTJrgor than the other, and this is an adaptive feature, fop wheu the crab retires into its house the bltftfer claw Is tucked across the mouth of the shell to bar the way against a possible intruder. More curious still is the habit of one species which tolls along with a sea anemone fixed to his shell, like Sindbad carrying the Old Man of the ^ a . Great care i s taken of this anemone. It Is fed by the crab, and if the. latter has to seek a new shell by reason of his growth, he tenderly shifts his tenant off the old abode and places him on the new one. no time to dress. ~h*t i • * * 4E§SJL in ttnie," said the doctor.

Dean Hole's Wit. On one occasion Dean Hole, the well known English clergyman, with Mrs. Hole, landed at Dover, much exhausted, after a rough crossing of the English channel. While waiting for the train the dean pored over the railway regulations. "Ah," he said, addressing the station inspector, "it's one consolation after such a crossing and this tiresome wait that we go back at half price." "I don't understand, sir," was the official's reply. "There is no special reduction." "Oh, yes, there 1B," said the dean.

The Distant Stars. Speaking roughly, we have reason, from the data so far available, to believe that the stars of the Milky Way are situated at a distance between 100,000,000 and 200,000,000 times the i . _ j ^ _ distance-from the sun. At distances Professor Hilton lays l««a than this it Vteems likely that the atars are distributed through space with some approach to uniformity. We may state as a general conclusion indicated by several methods of making the estimate that nearly all the stars which we can see with our telescopes are contained within a sphere not likely to be much more than 200,000,00() times the distance of the sun. Granting that all tbe stars we can aee are contained within ~thls limit, may there not be any number of stars I k e K a e w , AT cWtain old-lady aiways-knew everything before anybody else.

"For nearly two years everything I offered for sule-waa-seat back with tbe curt explanation that It did not compare with that story.

His high-seated buggy, always gray with hardened mud, was worn with many years of service, and the box dropped down on the right side with the great weight of the old practitioner. At the, end of the wheel track stood the brown little home with its vine-mantled porch. For some time alter the doctor had entered the house he sat motionless in the small front room, which had a shut-in smell and was ever kept pain -fttHy=in™order. idencejnat^riend. the children's little beds and her faded blue skirt was heard swishing softly up the stairs her step seemed much lighter and much sprightlier than it had been. By and by the little woman came softly to the door to announce in a low tone, so quiet and subdued: "Doctor, he's awake now." You could easily see what the visit meant to the sick man, for his lusterless eye was turned eagerly to the door and he made an effort to reach out his great white hand to his old - f l - it bad not lately had the careof the exacting housewife was when he removed his new shoes. As they fell thumping to the floor each of them raised-from the rag carpet a faint puff of dust. These shoes, by the way, nad been a source of copious profanity during the drive. "They pinch; they hurt. "Well, then, why did he want to sell 'eta to me?" But now the bell-like tinkle of the ice in a pitcher was heard in the kitchen. Before Mrs. Dale had time Xo enter the room he was calmly reading a newspaper. "Well, girl," he asked as the State Journal sank with a crinkling sound to his knees, "what you got there?" For answer she gave him a mistcoated glass, and a few drops went spattering down upon the carpet. "This is just right; no sugar—not au iota—just exactly right. And you're one of those women, Fern Dale, -who never have too much care and trouble to think of this sort of thing," he said. "Of course there are plenty *•! familiesTnaT" aTe-gtaTT-ta-see-me—families, too. that pay their bills. Byt—well, It's uot the money that really pays a pill peddler; an old peddler, anyhow. And you know that. Now, don't, you, Fern?" The young woman nodded. "Well, then," he added, still more deliberately, "you musn't ever put off sending for me, my girl, when you think I'm needed here." "But he wouldn't let rae send when I wanted to," the wife answered, and he saw that there were tears in her eyes. "So I didn't dare send till he v/as took down in bed. Said he wasn't sick at all—just wasn't feelin' right good." "Ey thunder, that husband of yours is a brick! That's what he is; he's a brick!'' Then he went on to inform her how long ago his first trifling account with that husband had been settled in full and 'how that husband ot "Well, doctor?" he asked, like one not having the courage to use a more direct question to inquire about the state of his health. But the doctor paid no heed. With his slipper heels flip-flopping at every step he hummed in a preoccupied way. He pushed up the shade. There had passed but a little while after that before the invalid was announcing with dreary triumph in his voice as his wife leaned over him to make the bed more tidy: "I told you so, Fern; all your worryin' for nothin'.. If they was any dantioa * • * .again taken .up, and as before the talk journeyed wide of all things concerning illness and trouble. It was not long before the sick man's face put on a smile and once Joe even laughed. But the doctor knew the end could not be far away. Before long the tow monotone x)f his voice suddenly stopped. There was a quick, dry coughone that shook the bed springs—just one, and at the same time a convulsive clasping of the thin white hands upon the shrunken chest. Then there was stillness. But the click of the snipping scissors among the flowers did not pause. It was loud; every sound seemed loud, even to the drowsy tinkle of the sheep bell, which came faint from down in the meadow. It was some time before the doctor left the house. But finally he went out bareheaded into the garden, and he was humming again, only this time the sound was not so calm as it had been when he entered the sickroom, and when a pair of eager blue eye^ sought his face the tune fluttered a little. He cleared his voice twice before: he spoke. "Fern," he aakeHf, "what do you call these flowers?" "I don't know. I mean they're roses. What Is it, doctor? Did you want me?" "Of course they're roses; I knew that, but what kiqd of roses are they?" "Didn't you want me for something, doctor?" "No, Fern, no; I didn't want you for anything. Joe's gone to sleep. What kind of roses did you say these were?" "Why, they're old-fashioned roses." Then the cutting of the flowers was continued and by and by the doctor said to her: "You've had a good deal of trouble these eight years of married life, haxenXJOHftJSX=SirX2II__ _ _ _ "I would have had trouble," she answered, "if it hadn't been for you." And he knew she was referring to/the time when death had threatened the little ones. "And now," she added, "if it wasn't for you—" "No, no, Fern, not this time, I'm afraid. As I have told you before, it may be In a month, or it may be—" The tears began to come now, and her big friend laid his hand gently upon her shoulder. They were standing at the great rosebush near the cottage and the doctor slowly reached up to the window and plucked the white morning glory. As he offered it to her she looked up once more into his face. But she did not cry. She took that rough, dark hand of his in both her own. "Yes.- I know what you mean. He's asleep in there. He's gone from me and I can't ever see him any more. But you were with him and you made him forget, and he wasn't troubled about me or about the children, or about anything at all.

It has been a fact of common knowledge for a Jong time that, as ordinarily stored, hen dung loses a large part of its nitrogen. Because of the small number of hens kept by most farmers, little attention has been given to means of preventing these losses. The Maine Agricultural Experiment Station has made a careful, study of the effects of chemicals upon the loss of nitrogen, and reached the following conclusions. By itself, hen dung is a one-sided nitrogenous fertilizer. As usually managed, one-half or more of its nitrogen is lost, so that as ordinarily used it does not carry so great an excess of nitrogen. Because of its excess of nitrogen it will be much more econom* ically used in connection with manures carrying phosphoric acid and potash. As toth acid phosphate and kainll prevent the loss of nitrogen, it Is pos» sible to use them in connection with sawdust or some other air matertai-—t tfae ^ ^ ( , ( ¾ m T ^ r 0 Steennildee roefs tJ ehheoavrat ho'sf flaocvee, untold!

The swine Industry of the United States is a feature of resources that flgufes high in the agricultural wealth of our country* To the hog, more than any other mfluence, are we indebted for the finely improved farms and beautiful cities that have, as by magic, spread out over the vast area of agricultural lands from Ohio in the east to the Missouri valley in the west. The civilizing influence of the corn crop has changed the millions of acres of wild prairie lands to the fertile, cultivated fields, rich with the clovers, grasses and improved crops of modern ' agriculture. Without the hog this great district of agricultural lands, lying in the center, of what is known as the corn belt, could never have attained its present distinction of wealth and business reputation. As a factor in wealth production the hog is justly entitled to the distinction of "the pioneer" among our meat-producing animals. The American hog has fastened - his hold so firmly, not only upon our ' own people, but upon those of almost every country on the globe, that the industry of, swine raising is of necessity made as progressive in its increase of production as the increase of population demanding pork production.— Nebraska Farmer. GREAT LIVE STOCK INDUSTRY.

If shown, by official government count, that the horses, mules, cattle, hogs, sheep and goats in the United States number more than 220,000,000 head, and that their value is, according to the same authority, .more than 13,200,000,000 (see twelfth census of the United States), the figures alone would have very little attraction or meaning to the majority of readers. But when told, in addition thereto, that these animals would make a solid column of more than eighty-nine abreast -reaching from San Francisco to Boston, or, if placed in single file, a solid procession that would reach nearly ten times around the earth; and, further, that their value exceeds the total combined value of all the corn, wheat and other cereals, potatoes,-hay, cotton, sugar, molasses, tobacco, lumber, wool, coal, petroleum, silver, gold and precious stones, iron, copper, lead, zinc and other metals produced annually in the whole country, then perhaps some adequate conception may be formed concerning the magnitude and importance of the live stock industry_;_ of_:>he United States.—Chicago Tribune.

SOLO »Y ALL DHUQQISTS. Science of Onychomancy. The latest science is, undoubtedly, onychomancy, or the science of reading the fortune from the finger nails, According to the onychomancist, the tiny white specks which come and go on the nails are not the result of chance, but from them can be read "the past, present and future." These innocent looking specks are almost as difficult to- decipher as the lines on the palm from which the palmist tells us so much. Their size, shape and position are all taken into account. The specks nearest the tip of the finger relate to the past, those in the center to the present and those on the half moon to the future. As in palmistry, the right hand has to be read in. conjunction with the left. But a feature which gives this-science atr advantage over all its rivals is that these fateful specks are constantly coming and going. Consequently a number of readings at different times must be given to reach an accurate one. The revival of the* science, for it is really not a recent one, is traced to a foreign source. The consort of a Continental sovereign came across an onychomancist at a well known watering place and was so delighted at his aptitude in expounding the unknown that she insisted that he initiate a member of her suite in all its mysteries. He did so, for a large consideration, and the pastime has been continued at the Continental court.

One of the most notable features of '•x)e trade of the United States with South America Is Its comparative fixity. During the last thirty yearn there has been an increase of only '> per cent In trade, and the sales of 1890 were about the same as those of 1902. Compared, with the trade of 1873, America's 4902 trade with the world outside of South America has ir.ore than .doubled. To the 40,UOO,000 people in South America t h e yearly sales atnOunt to less than $40,000,00,0. Really Impregnable Fortresses.

I I Win What I Care Not For. *'An' it please you, Lord Felton," •aid I, "to vary the sameness of things—all pleasurable excitement being with i d u aad your f r i e n d s - suppose^ w^/ehaiige the dice?" "Do you mean to imply?" he began. "I imply nothing bufc»wb*t you wish implied," I interrupted. "I have still a small estate in Essex county-—why not add that, also, to yonr winnings?" And I pointed to the gold stacked at hU elbow. "As.yoir will," he replied, with a shrug of the shoulders which set his long wig a-bobbing. "Gil," I called to my man, who leaned across the board opposite us, "throw me the dice you have." Lord Felton was as tenacious as a miser, and fought for each piece of gold, for now the conditions were reversed, as 1 supposed they wouW be upon the change of dice, yet he would not, could not, stop; the gambling fever gripped him hard. I won and won until there seemed nothing else to win. "Nothing else?" said I. My Lord Felton had many resources. "I will stake the hand of Lady Mary Felton against all," he hissed, as he flung his hand out upon the table, while his fingers twitched. The all indicated was the wealth worth a l'esserfcing* srealm prted TjeforeHSSTeT^ His words produced a momentary hush of astonishment even atnong his followers. A hat belonging to someone was pushed from the table. The brooch fastening its plume struck_the_ floor with a slight noise, But it sounded as loud to our strained ears as an explosion. We started, though they who knew him ought to have been surprised at nothing he might either kay or do. "You will not say it is too little?" be said. Then his eyes like a basilisk's swept the lowering faces of the showed upon their person how furiously they .had GOJQUBL jpwl against worth's bushes, bramble* and dirt. One fellow aat with a broken arm in a sling dicing with hi* l«ft hand, while Harcourt Nym had hit coat on with the wrong side faced put. Whether to keep it from soilure (there was no need), or to propitiate that Janusfaced damsel Fortune (there was great need), no one knew, but himself. Others had turned the lace back from their hande> aad here and there a wig lay tossed off in the heat and excitement of the game. The room where we sat was long and narrow. The narrow part waa broadened somewhat by many dla> mond-shaped panes of glass set cff ppsite each other. At the far end a fire of logs burned. The smoke from the pipes of the men floated there to be sucked up by its red mouth. Lord Felton had only joined us upon our reaching the Lodge. Hunting was. too strenuous an exercise for him, while feasting and gaming were t h e elixir of his life. He had chosen me, a stranger, for his partner in the evening's sport. Why I should have been so signalized I knew not, unless it was that the Londoners familiar with his reputation, and more than one having good cause, shunned him, or, perhaps he had heard that the coffers of the house of Long Haut were ""Trot depleted of their treasures^ At first I had looked at him with curiosity. He was small as a woman and as slender. Everything about him was minute -except his w i g ~ a n ..enormous affair, it hung about his shoulders in many ringlets, and made his head seem out of all proportion to his body. His features were- clearcut as a cameo. His eyes were of that cold grey from which all the blue was washed, but they held you. He was the dandy and the exquisite. His ways were caressing and his manner quite irresistible. He had one pecu- - -M ^H sH "What I have won I shall know how to keep," said I. men. Some cowered and shrank back; others assumed an indifference quite ai variance with their previous agitation Sir Raoul Dw'ght glowered back at him. He had dared take their idol and treat it as clay, and in that he had dared much. Recovering from my surprise, I murnuircti something trite enough about being most happy to risk all and more for the happiness of obtaining the lady's hand. A menial brought him a quill and an ink horn." He wrote an acknowledgment elaborately, and sprinkled it with sand. Ho. dallied doing it; as though he gloated over the de^'d, and cared anyone to take umbraga either at it or him. When he had the paper to his satisfaction h? placed it in the center of the table. ? pushed the gold 'beside it. The tyght from innumerable candles shonfr'dowu upon the long table black with age; it passed through the bottles filled with liquor, and made splashes of red upon the dark grain of the wood; it played upon the gold that scintillated and sparkled like the light in a woman's eye. The hunting feast was long Qver. The board had been cleared, and the men gruuyed about it were in characteristic attitudes, gaming. It was the usual ending to a day's sport. Gil -nrH Trr*"'*** ****** nWT frv%m Trong Haut for t h e hunt at the bidding of Master Arnold, and as was expected, wc stayed for the. gaming. Not that expectations or contumelious lips would have held us, had we not been as fond of a game of chance as anyone of the gay bloods'from London town who made up the party. Tt hart beeq a day of rare sport Time had riot been wasted in our de-^ sire to kill, and a$ aj-esult many deer and boars lay low that yesterday ton4>nr'od through the forest All liarity. While- his face never lacked repose as though he habitually masked his thoughts lest you read them, in his fingers he s&ve them full vent; his weaknesses were exposed. Hands small and soft and white— hands with long flexile fingers—hands perpetually in motion. 'Twas said that he could cheat, cajole, or win one's fortune from one as easily as tho turning of a hand: over, and the matter of it was that one never quite understood how he had accomplished it, being at the time so carried av.a'y by his fascinations. Of all the dissipated men of the day, he was considered the most dangerous. But this I learned afterwards. He began bv winning—that should have taught him caution. How slight a thing will sometimes change the course of events! A* menial in filling the glass of my neighbor jogged my elbow. I looked up as he mumbled his excuses, and caught the warning s e n t . t o me by Gil. Then I let my eyes roam casually from face to face. I read upon them what made me pull myself together with a jerk and throw off the spell I had been under; the spell of a limpid tongue dlscoursing the gay doings of a fashionable world of which I then knew little, These gay sparks from London, and especially this old dissolute one would bleed me; they thought me a novice. It was laughable! I knew cards and dice as I knew my sword. Many a night Gil and I had made of gaming a pastime. It had been his part in my education,- and he had not found-, me a dullard. I saw with .narrowed «ye« the pile, of gold—mine—-which my~Lord Fel•.', ton had stacked at his right; I sawd the men for the moat part given up their play to wa^ch a deeper game— cupidity in their eyair watting * n x - * • . • • . . • • • %, • - • f - ';• * ' • * V J M taiBlyJfyta # m »t the poo* dup*— and I realised that unknown to my* self I had occupied the center of the stage. It was then when I saw the supercilious looks ' and widening of lips, which owners cared not to hide that the- blood of an ancestor who had once staked his life on a throw of a dice, thrust itself to the front driving back the more cautious blood of the Hadleys. It was then that I had proposed the change of dice. Now I must plead that the passion of gaming was' strong upon me ajso. I cared no more for Lord- Felton's daughter Mary than foi* any village maid. She was no more to me. True, I had heard of her—who had not? Of her beauty, her conquests, the duels fought for love of her—and more. Although she had been in London but a few years she had s e t all hearts agog; feminine ones with envy, masculine ones with desire. It was said that she possessed all the fascination of her father without his dissoluteness— a rare thing* in King^Charles' court. When the men recovered from the momentary consternation into which Lord Felton's words had thrown them, and my lord himself had drained his goblet of wine to perhaps still his fluttering fingers, we resumed the play, watched by all eyes. Prayers and curses were upon bearded, clean shaven, and lips that had never known a razor, but unuttered. I read in their faces while they scorned Lord Felton and cursed him to the lowest depths, they yet prayed that he might win—they that were not wont to pray. His was the first throw and he won. The next was mine—we were even. All now depended upon the last spinning of the dice. He took them up and rattled them, still with a rythmical movement, and threw them out iNvesrnsi ^ Bitctrlcity Kills Insects. The Elektrotechnische Zettschrift (Berlin) announces that It has receiv-1 ed from M. Lokuzefcwski the descrip- > tlpn of an apparatus for the destruction of Insects, of their larvae, and of caterpillars, the apparatus having recently been presented to the Odessa' Technical society, Under a wagon vdrawn by horses or run by an alcohol motor there 'is placed a small dynamo. | This dynamo is moved by a system ol' gearing placed on the. axle of the ve- j hide, the dynamo being connected with an Induction coil in front of welch is placed a Wehnelt interrupter. -She negative pole of the induction coll is connected with the Iron' framework of the vehicle, that is con* \ nected with a series of metallic brooms placed behind-and under the wagon. These brooms may be moved in a vertical direction, and as they give forth a large shower of sparks, any insect within the range of the broom is destroyed. The wag6h should follow immediately behind the plow, as the latter, by opening the earth, brings to light insects and larvae. Feeder for Stock. One of the disagreeable tasks in relation to the care of horses, cows or other cattle is the necessity of arising early and'supplying them with feed. This is especially true with milk dealers, bakers and many others who are compelled to get -up an hour or two before serving their route in order to feed their horses.

His face went twhite. There was excuse; the stakes .had been great. "Ttuly a marvel, and so young," he managed to say, for the great control lie knew so well how to exercise held him; "the King himself would be outdone." His friends and kinsmen crowded about him. An explosive, "Damme" came from a mouth, and it was as a clap of thunder which preludes a storm. Chairs were tipped out of the way and swords were drawn.

Shall this fellow for a few happy throws of dice be let to take with an indifferent hand what we have looked with yearning eyes toward? Shall it be permitted? Never! I say never!" I waited until their clamoring cries had ceased, then said: "That should have been thought of before the game; it is rather too late, methinks." "You shall not leave here with that paper in your possession," said Sir Raoul Dwight. "Shall, and, shall not, are words which take little breath in the saying, and they come rather too trippingly from your lips, Sir Raoul Dwight," I answered him. "I think the lftdv will thank her kinsman—and This arm is fastened to a spring held to a pin in the outer wall of the chute> A bracket supports a clock upon the other side of the chute, the clock having an alarm attachment. The key which winds the alarm apparatus is connected to a spring-pressed bolt which is mounted in the wall of the chute and designed to support the hinged door when the same is weighted down with food. As the clock runs down the cord withdraws the bolt, and when the proper time is reached the dpor is released and the food falls down to the manger. After the door is relieved of its weight the spring will cause it to resume its normal po« sition. This would also be very useful in large establishments. The patentees are John R. Ray and William E.

Would Exterminate Rata. Unremitting warfare against rats is"" advocated by Sir James Crichton! Browne, who' says that people nowadays are Hying under sanitary conditions which will seem as shocking and wiong to their descendants 200 years hence as conditions that obtained two centuries ago appear now. In advocating a crusade against rats, as the great carriers of disease, Sir James suggests a new form of relaxation. "We have with us," he says, "lots of gilded youths whose time hanga heavy on their hands, and who might vary their amusements by rat-catching, which must be quite as exciting and elevating as pigeon shooting. If the sporting papers would give a description' of the battues and reports of the ba^s, with odds on the favorite ratcatchers and portraits of the recordbreakers, those pernicious little ro- Deafness Carmot Be Cured by local applications, as they cannot reach tho diseased portlua of the ear.

A human pice which makes its car wheels and napkins out of paper, says Gerald Stanley Lee, in the .tysjropolitan Magazine, Its street pavements out of glass, Its railway ties out of old shoes, which draws food out of air, which winds up operas on spools, which has itsrtvay with oceans, and plays chess with the enipty ether that is over the sea—which makes clouds speak with tongues, which lights railway trains with pin wheels aud which makes its cars go by stopping them and heats its furnaces with s m o k e - It would bevvery strange If a race like' this could not find some way/of at least managing Its own planet—and (heaped with snowdrifts it be)— some way of warming it—of melting [off a place to live on.

Some Words That Qo Not Rhyme. Bulb has .no rhyme. Culm, cusp, recumb, gulf, month, doth, amongst are other rhvmglgss words having the sound of u as in but. Few patrician words in the language have this vowel sound, so commonplace and without dignity; hence poets turn to it only for blood, flood and a few similar turbulent monosyllables. They f-use i r o f t e n , however, in forcing the accent from the antepenultimate syllable to the final, where its unpleasant sound Is concealed by the softened stress.

"I went into a large clothing store the other day,", said 8wellman. "to find out something about men's fash- Ions for the horse show. Naturally, I sought the head of the department. " 'Bless you,' he said, 'I don't know. I don't dress fn that class myself. But I have a clerk who can tell you all about it. Boy, ask Mr. Blank to please step this way/ "In a moment I was approached by one of the greatest swells I ever saw in my life, f i e wore one of the new English long, Joese morning coats of a light brown color, a white waistcoat and trousers the tint of a robin's egg. To my surprise he was not at all affected in his manner. Clothes were his hobby, that's all. He talked of fashions as enthusiastically as a man familiar with racing would talk of horses. He knew all about the styles in London and Paris. He understood^ precisely what was wasted for the horse show. As I came away I said to the head of the department: '' 'That young man seems to be well \ up in his business.' " 'He's a womjer/ was the reply. 'When he Isn't .Waiting on customers he is reading fashion magazines and looking at tailors' plates. Last summer he had a khaki suit brought over from England by one of our buyers that for shade and texture could not be duplicated in New York. I couldn't afford to dress as he does, if I wanted to." A Teacher's Testimony. Hinton, Ky., Nov. 28.—(Special.)— it has long been claimed-that Diabetes is incurable, but Mr. E. J. Thompson, teacher in. the Hinton school, has pleasing evidence to the contrary. -Mr-. -Thompson had Diabetes, He 4< Dodd's Kidney Pills and is cured. In a statement he makes regarding his cure Mr. Thompson says:. "1 was troubled with my kidneys for_j3Qore than two years and was treated by two of the best'doctors in this part of the state. They claimed I had Diabetes and there was little to be done for me. Then I started to use Dodd's Kidney Pills and what ^-they did for mo was wonderful.—-it is entirely owing' to Dodd's Kidney Pills that I am now enjoying good health." Many doctors still maintain that Diabetes is incurable. But Diabetes is a kidney disease, and the kidney disease that Dodd's Kidney Pills will not cure has yet to be discovered. An Astonishing Feat. The knowledge possessed by Mrs. Leonard, champion money-counter of the t r e a s i t r ^ e f the details of the various notes that have been issued by the government during the last jyrif-century is so absoluteIy_accurat£ that all money suspected of" bemg" counterfeit Is submitted for her opinion. Not long ago she- declared that a certain note which passed through her hands was counterfeit. Others in her department declared It genuine. Even those at the head of the department thought she _ w a s wrong. But she would cot reverse her judgment. The note was sent to the Bureau of Printing and Engraving, and the expert there said It was genuine. Still she held to her opinion. The note was laid aside, and later a description of it was discovered among the records of counterfeits in another department. —Everybody's Magazine. «The Other Side." ife4ecamp to try him—He- Fa+nbow in the s k y !

Fine Collected After Forty Year*. A comrade writing from the Na tlonal Military Home In Indiana^ in- <lose8 an item clipped from a local -newspaper that illustrates the relentlessness of the United States government in collecting money due,.be the amount ever so small. It appears that the comrade enlisted when a mere boy of 16, and having an appetite for roast sucklings, he foraged and ' a t e a small pig at a time and place when and where the orders were very *ttingent against fbraglng: "He was . discovered and brought before a cou-t martial and fined $10. Several months -elapsed before the paymaster reached the regiment, and the fine was overlooked. Recently he put in a claim lor commutation of ciothing due to him t o the amount of $15.57. The account •was audited and found to be correct, and the bill was paid—less the overlooked fine of $10 adjudged against 3»lm more than forty years ago. PHyed Possum for Life. -"Speaking of assaults," said the major, "when Col. Dan McCook's brigade made the assault June 27, 1864i on the 'dead angle' at Kenesaw Mountain, Capt. Jo Major, company A, Eightysixth Illinois volunteer infantry, while --ctose-to ^the-€onfederate works, was —knocked down by something ^thrown over the works by a rebel. When he regained consciousness he found himself on the flat of his back just outside the rebel breastworks, among many dead and wounded. Our troops had fallen back about eighty feet, and by hugging the ground closely were partly protected by the brow of the hill. Spades were trumps, and by hardrdfg^ Sing with spades, bayonets and canteen sides a new line was soon established which protected the men. "In the meantime Capt. Major returned to consciousness and soon realized that he must play himself for apart nr h n w n n l d hft foroeri t o f.rawl over the rebel works a prisoner, as others who showed signs of life were forced to do. On the other hand retreat was impossible. Aboift this time a venturesome rebel climbed over the works, and crawling around among the dead and wounded came to the captain, relieving him of his revolver, sword, haversack, canteen, pocketbook and hat. Noticing the captain was breathing, the rebel turned a little water into his mouth, but although nearly dying of thirst the Yank, was afraid to swallow, and permitted the coveted fluid to run out of his mouth and go to waste .in Mother uartn. The Johnny crawled away and left him, supposing, of course, there would soon be another dead Yank. "It was now about 10 o'clock in the forenoon, and for the balance of that hot day Capt. Major lay on the flat of- • his back, with the merciless rays of the sun pouring down into his bare face, not daring even to scare the flies from his mouth or nose, from which blood was oozing as a. result of the blow in the stomach. Nor could he shift his body to gain a mbre comfortable position. He could hear the bang! bang! of the Yankee guns, and the crack of Col. Fahnestock's Henry rifle in the hands of Fife Ma>>r Weber, who had got a good position behind a chestnut tree and was doing all he could to keep the rebel heads below their head logs. When the rebels replied the amok a wonld almost puff tn TJapL Ma .-v nue he sprang over works aaa men, causing surprise and joy. His nostrils and ears were fly blown from lying In the aun all day* ^"Thirty-flve years after this even* Gov. Tanner recalled a letter from Jamas. A. Jonas of Monroe county, Alabama, inquiring for a 'Major Eureka, aighty-sixth Illinois/ saying his grandfather, John Williams, a Confederate soldier, captured a sword Inscribed T o Major Eureka, Eighty-sixth niinolff volunteer infantry/ which he desired to restore to the owner. It had been need in school exhibitions, and, later, by plantation hands to strip sugar cane. Gov.

Nursed Boys in Blue, Mrs. Fanny T. Hazen, president ol the Massachusetts army nurse associa tion, had a shorter term of hospital service during the war than man} others, because her age would not ad rait of her being mustered in to th< work. But although the time which sh< served was limited, she was among the most loyal and faithful of the women who sacrificed themselves tc their country during those trying times. SheHised^toirenTark that she wouto" have given years of her life If she could have taken the place of a brother who was a volunteer in the army There were also two younger brother* v>hb enlisted, and to her, it seemed when the war broke out in 1861, thai her greatest misfortune Was to have been born a girl. It was Mrs. Hazen's greatest desire at that time MTss Titus, to become an army nurse. She applied to both the sanitary and Christian commissioner* to go as a nurse under their auspices but the answer in each instance was "You are too young." She decided to leave her home in Vermont and go to Washington inde pendently. Securing letters, from Rev G. H. Hepworth, pastor of of the Unity, Boatinfluential persons, she started Jor the capital. Arriving there she called upon Sur geon General Hammond, who told hei that it would be of no Use to go tc Miss Dix, but that if any surgeon in charge of a hospital would give her a position as a nurse, he would indorse her name, which would place e church her on record as a regularly enrolled army nurse. Contrary to advice, she did go tc Miss Dix, who safd to her: "Child. I shall not say no, though it Is entire ly against my rules to take any one sc young. I believe your heart is in the work, and that-I can trust you.—t-shal send my ambulance to-morow morning to take you to Columbian hospital, there to remain in quarters till I send you to Annapolis. In the meantime you will be under training of Miss Burghardt." This wascTn-f864. Shortly after her admission to the Columbian hospital, Mrs. Hazen was stationed in charge of Miss Fur? hardt's ward, the latter having been granted a furlough. She remained there until the hospital closed, June 27, 1865. During the summer of '64 the hospital was filled with wounded men from the Wilder-. ness, from Spottsylvania and from Cold Harbor, Mrs. Hazen wrote many letters home to the friends of wounded men, and she prepared many bodies that were sent home for burial. She never failed to place beside the heart of each silent soldier a bouquet of the florist's choicest flowers. Mrs.. Hazen always on Memorial day' decorates the grave of Miss Dix in Mt Auburn.

I suffered for four months with extreme nervousness and lassitude. I had a sinking feeling in my stomach which no medicine seemed to relieve, and losing my appetite I became weak and lost myvitality. In three weeks I lost fourteen pounds of flesh and felt that I must find speedy relief to regain my| health. Having heard Wine of Cardui praised by several of my| friends, I sent for a bottle and was certainly very pleased with the results. Within three days m y appetite returned and my stomach troubled me no more. I could digest my food without difficulty and the nervousness gradually diminished. Nature performed her functions without difficulty and I am once more a happy and well woman. OLIVE JOSEPH, Tma.

We shall see you in London soon?" His words were now addressed to me, and they were^ courteousness itself, yet I read the menace-in them, as did the men also. They seemed satisfied that my lord would find a way of relieving me of my newly and most unexpectedly acquired treasure—the promise of a bride—betore I should have time to use it "Ere many days shall have passed," I replied. MYou will be welcome," he said. "I shall bring that which shall win me a welcome," I returned. "If you still have it," muttered Raoul Dwight "Do you threaten?" I sneered. His reply was a shrug of the shoulder, and as he, the only one, still whipped his sword up and down; Master) Arnold cried: . ^ _ ^Yon are__myyt_guests, gentlemen^ seek some other place to do youF brawling." "You were not wont to be so par^ ticular, Master Arnold," said Raoul Dwight with a snarl. "It was in this very room, if I remember rightly—" "Raoul Dwight!" Master Arnold's \ voice rang out sharply.

Qualms; of hunger began to cry aloud, and that, together with the heat, made me drowsy. I minded not my steps, only one wish stirred within me: that I were home with a trenchon of beef before me such as old Nancd prepared. I com* mitted the midges, burs and other nuisances to a thousand deaths—so captious does a mau become when hunger assails him. On a sudden there swooped through the air, with the swiftness of light* ning, a peregrin-falcon. She alighted upon my shoulder. Her long curved talons tore the linen of my shirt and cut deep furrows in my flesh. I staggered from the unexpectedness of the attack. She hung upon me, over the basket on my arm, and in her mouth was the fish she had purloined. I jerked my knife from my belt, not being in the humor for such pleasantry. I was too late, ready to strike, she was off No, she had not escaped me yet, for with a swiftness equal to her own, I threw my knife after her. It struck her in the neck. She fell to the ground not twenty paces from me, plunging, reeling, emitting a gurgling cry. When the bird had flowft exultfofely forth and my knife after her, I had heard the lilt of a laugh, which had ended in a plaintive cry. The deed was of the moment without a thought Had I wished it otherwise, as I soon did, I could not have helped it. like the among its ivory sued petal*.

"If there is a falcon within twenty leagues, Madame, it is yours," I answered, "to take the place of yonder bird." "Do yon think I would accept aught at your hands?" she cried. 'Ere I had time to reason with her she was joined with a serving maid, to whom she turned and began to tell of the bird's mishappening.

H '.&, ^ ¾ *** C , . * $ • There before me stood a very"madcap of a child, or womanl morn now began to show through the slats of the closed shutters, and orders were given for the saddling of horses. The servants blew out the last flarings of the candles and opened the windows. The air came rushing in sweet with the smell of earthly things, cutting its way through the dense smSfcajS|en atmosphere. -The money still lay on the table dull and sordid in the light of day. "Gil," said J, "see that my Lord Felton has back what, was his before we leaye—" I touched the gold* and notes with the tip of my sword—"except this." With a light laugh I took up the promise of marriage and dropped it carelessly into my pocket, even as one might take an uncut diamond of which he knows not the value, and puts it heedlessly away. "And he is welcome to the rest foe its sake." "You are to be congratulated," said Harcourt Nym. "If you succeed with that hit of paper; I fear me it is too perishable." CHAPTER II. I looked at my arm where the claws of the falcon had rjpped the skin so that the blood flowed freely. I turned over the dead thing on the ground with my foot, and wondered whence it had come. I again heard that little cry. i raised my eyes. There before rae in the narrow pathway stood a very madcap of a child or woman! I could not tell which. Her hair was piled on top of her exquisite head in some foreign fashion, and her dress was down to her tiny slippered feet. She was breathless from running, and held her dress bunched in her hands. Laces and frills made a perfect cascade about her ankles % "Oh! What have you done?" she cried. She dropped in a heap of farderals beside the dead bird and began calling It all manner of pretty names.' "You lout!" she stormed and faced me. She was one who in her rage and grief did not stop to pick her words with a squeamishness. "You have killed my falcon! How dared you—how dared you?" A moment before the place had have some fun at my expense. She had fowled her bird after a .trout, not reckoning with either man or knife. And, the result of their harmless bit of frolicsomeness, he was a—dead pet When they had reviled me enough, or so I thought, for their contemptuousness made my ears to tingle, I said in the same speech and in as gracious a manner as i could .command. "I would recompense you, Madame, to the half of .my estate—believe, me, it is yours.'* "Recompense! Estate! You!" she sneered. "A hut on my Lord's land with one wee pig is more like to be your estate." She threw back her head and laughed, while she took me in~?rom my head to my foot "Do you hear that, &urse Moffett!" she continued. "Recompense! 'To the half of my estate.'" She mimicked me to a nioety and then went off into throes of laughter, joined by her nurse. I waited with a grave face until her merriment had Subsided. I aaw she was a maid of mood? and fancies; for now she sat quite down upon the ground, unmindful of everything except her dead pet, and tears fell from her eyes in big drops. "What a hell of witchcraft "lies in the small orb of one particular tear," said WllllamT Sfaakespgarer-a writer of plays and sometimes actor of the same, and I aver'that he never spoke truer words. He is dead these many years, but his speeches are remembered, and plays still to oe seen at the theaters in London. "Do not, I beg "of you, do r.ot," I said as I dropped on my knees beside her, and stretched out ray hands to take the dead thing from her. The old dame as if desirous of keeping before her mistress my share in the miserable business made the air murky with her execrations. —Inwardly I curood myself in being so ready to cut and to slash. Perhaps the lady read some of my contrition in my face, perhaps she had changed her mind as to my condition in life; certainly she looked at me with a little kindliness and there were questions written on her face. She let me take the bird and place it on the sward, and wipe her gown where the gore had ruined it. So much grace I had—no mora Too soon she remembered that I had done her an injury. Her eyes now flashed like steel. Her bow-shaped mouth drew itself Into its haughtiest curves.

Never was the Iron Duke more gracious than on that day which the boy Kendall son of his grace's valet, spent with him, greatly to the lad's surprise "We dine at 1 o'clock, sir.^ the youth had answered. "And a very good hour," Wellington had replied. "I did so when I was at school. Well, I have ordered an early dinner." So his grace and the boy of 10 sat down alone, much to the alarm of the valet, who thought the end of all things was near. After grace the duke told the. lad that he had ordered several things to be brought, asd—would help him toeach, "For," he added, "I know little boys like to taste all they see." During the meal the duke talked constantly and always kindly. Dinner ended, his grace shook hands with Kendall andiaade him good-bye. "Be a good boy and do your duty.

Right Food Makes Happy Children Because They are Healthy. Sometimes milk does not agree with children or adults. The same' thing is true of other articles of food. What agrees with one sometimes does not agree with others. But food can be so prepared that It will agree with the weakest stomach. As an illustration—anyone, no matter how weak the stomach, can eat, relish and digest a nice hot cu£ of Postum coffee with a spoonful* or two of Grape-Nuts poured in, and such a combination contains nourishment to carry one a number of hours, for almost every particle of it will be digested and taken up by the system and oe made use of. A lady writes from the land of the* Magnolia and the mocking bird waydown in Alabama and says: "I was led to drink Postum .hecause coffee gave me sour stomach and made me nervous. Again Postum was recommended by two well known physicians for my children, and I feel especially grateful for the benefit derived." "Milk does not agree with either child, so to the eldest, aged four and one^half years, I give Postum wiui plenty of sweet cream. It agrees wltfrd her splendidly, regulating her bowe^T perfectly although she is of a const!* pa ted habit.

AN. INVITING PROSPECT. Will Canada in the next quarter of a century take the place of the United States as the great whgaj exporting section bi. the w^tern^he'tilepliere? Everything ^ointa, thaT^ay\ In the opinion of experts the United States has reached high water mark as a wheat exporting country. The Increasing population ovef there haa reached the point when home consumption is becoming annually greater in prupurtluu than the increase in wheat production. As a matter cf fact wheat production is decreasing over there as the land becomes more valuable and by reason of the deuiand for other lorms of produce for noma consumption. It is said that. the wheat crop this year is not more than 70 per cent, of the crop or i»uj, and much below the crops of J.9W2 and 1903,—Tt is estimated that t'hls year the United States surplus for export will not be over 100,000,000, which is less than any year since.. 1878 with two exceptions. Not only is this the esse, hut a*considerable quantity ol the best Canadian wheat is being imported into Minnesota and also Chicago. All this tends to keep the price Of wheat near, the dollar mark, and "dollar wheat" is the loadstone that will attract farmers to the Canadian Northwest, where land: <s, cheap and can be farmed on A^whojes^e basis, particulars ot which may -fee lad from any Canadian GovettmefrF^ Agent The jrcdacj-loi^ of Ame/icanr.rexporta will have^the uJtt»rMfljien|e of increasing Canadjlh v jfrodu.ctkm and keeling .*p ^the ipritiL w H. coiretitntea a roseate prospect for this country, and needs no-, exercise of optlmlstie enthusiasm to foresee the; near expansion of the Dominion into* the actual position of the "granary" of the em* plre." ,. . , . :( ; - ^ .

It hide a smile at such behavior. "Get you gone to your—estate," she drawled, bowing low before me, "my Lord Mayor of all you survey.

"The New Yorir state court of ap^ peals declares unconstitutional the labor law which prohibits a contractor, from employing his men more than eight hours a day on city, county or state work. Since its enactment in 1897 this statute has been almost continually before the courts. Other phases have been passed upon, but this is the first thne that the court of appeals has expressed its views flatly on the eight hour provision. Judges O'Brien, Martin and Vnnn hold that the law is unconstitutional in tii.at it deprives an individual of property without due process of lay. <Jhief Judge Cullen, with Judge Wermer concurring, rtfakes the decision one of precedent. Rural Delivery Bxpeaclre. The poBtal deficit for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1004. is $8,779,492. compared to $4,5GQ,044 for the previous year, Yin increase of 92.«"»3 per cent according to the report of Third Assistant! Postmaster-CSenernl E. C. Madden, just''made public. The report shows, however, that the increase in expenditures is on account of the. rural free delivery service. Were it not for this extraordinary expenditure the—pustal—service—now would be self-sustaining, he says. The total receipts from ail sources for the fiscal vear were $143,582,624. and the total expenditures ¢152.3412,110.

Mrs. Lord says that "when the dark clouds of discouragement and depression settled heavily upon our Brother Kelley In his pioneer work she it waa who upheld his bands, giving of her time and means freely and, above all, putting her very soul into the work, toiling iu season and out of season, early and late, writing songs for tbe Order and attending to the details of office work, cheering and encouraging, doing the thousand and one nameless things that help to buoy up the sink lng ship, thus carrying the work over the shoals until success finally perched upon their banner. The time has come when her seed sowing has brought its harvest of golden sheaves, and the eddying current of her influence has been felt in" every movement for woman's advancement Hers was a brave soul, and I only voice the sentiments of thousands of women who gladly render thanks to the Great Master that she has been permitted to live to witness the results of her labor." the house was very hot and the young »80,000 capita to ship out aaud and urnvHj, ma infacMi-e cement building blocks and contract to erect cement buildmus, et;.

According to his view, the upper peninsula is not anxious to have one of those biennial Junkets in which legislatures sj often indulge at the expense of the people of upper peninsula cities. The movement for the abolishment of the state tax commission has gone so far that a bill for that purpose has already been drawn up by Representative N. V. Lovell, of Berrien county. Tho latter was a member of the last house. It Is urged that while the tax coujuitesiou may be abolished us such, it will still be necessary to have a state board of assessors to assess the railroads, if the present system of taxing the transportation companies upon the value of their property is to be continue. Senator Smith, of Houghton, says: "I think the coming session will be somewhat shorter tium heretofore and that it will be purely and sharply a business session." Representative Nottingham, of Lansing, re-elected to the next legislature, has started a movement looking to the organization of the next house in a way to secure a greater measure of primary refcrni than has been generally considered to be on the program. A new measure for the taxing of the railroads will be presented at the coming session, said bill being one to not take long to locate the cause of the disturbance, and It was at once realized that robbers were at work.

There were three robbers standing in front of the bank at this time. Four explosions had already occurred and at that moment came the fifth, which seemed to blow out the whole front of the bank building. The posse was debating about advancing upon the desperadoes when one shouted: "Come on, Bill, let's get out of this." Then the robbers stampeded for the railroad tracks.

I* Hopeworth in Chambers' Journal. The Cow and the Hen. Hoard's Dairyman tells of two men *ho took a cow census. In Pennsylvania twenty-fire farmers who were mtrons of creameries averaged a net oroflt of |15.06 per year for each cow while twenty-five more made a profit )f 65 cents per cow. In Indiana the jest six out of fifty averaged 121.00 per cow per year. It is fair to assume that these best cows were worth 'rom $45 to $60. Consequently it appears that it takes a good cow to pay in annual profit equal to one-third of ler value. Wallace's Parmer has given through ts columns the records of farmers' Socks of grade chickens that paid a clear profit of a dollar per hen. If t>ut up, at public sale many of these chickens would have sold from $3.00 :o $6.00 per dozen. It would seem ;hat the average hen, under average conditions, will give a profit of twice aer value, where the average cow, ander average conditions, will pay a profit of about one-third her value. When we consider the difference in :he amount of money invested we wonder that farmers are so slow in jiving the hen her due. Composition of Milk. Milk is made up of water and solids, the latter varying from eleven to sixteen per cent and averaging about thirteen per cent. The solids are again divided into fat and solids not fat. The solids not fat dissolved in water make a thin syrup or serum. Fat will not dissolve In water.

At least one meeting during the year •f every subordinate grange can profitably be giveu over to the discussion of tbe rural schools. There should be an fntimate relationship existing between the grange and the school. Patrons should feel a special interest in tbe work of educating the young, so many of whom make the district school their only college. Every grange should have its committee on visitation ef schools, and this committee should be composed of tbe most intelligent and progressive members. They should know by observation just what the local school is doing, whether its teacher Is qualified not only but adapted to the seeds of that particular school. Some teachers never fit in nicely anywhere, some fit everywhere. When there is a misfit successful work cannot be done. As a rule, the average farmer or average citizen, whether farmer or not, pays too little heed to the management and uoeds of the school. The progressive farmerand especially the progressive granger will find delight in this work; and he will not fall to make It a subject of discussion in the grange. ~ The following suggestive programme Is furnished by the Michigan state lecturer, and of course it Is merely suggestive. It will be varied to suit conditions: SPECIAL. SCHOOL. PROGRAMME. Musi^-'-Columbla." 'Roll call—Response by quotations. Report of committee on visitation of schools.

Her case has baffled the skill of some of the most noted physicians. One of her worst troubles was chronic constipation of several years' standing. She was also passing through that most critical period in the life of a woman—change of life. " Hn June, 1895, I wrote to you abotrt her case. You advised a course of Peruna and Manalin, which we at once commenced, and have to say it completely cured her. "About the same time I wrote you about my own case of catarrh, which had been of fventy-five years' standing. At times I was almost past going.

I had but i gone a short distance when I heard a shrill voice call: "Wait a little, the lady bids you wait." It was the old dame. I waited until she hobbled near, thinking the damsel had sent a message. I was mistaken. It was more jollity the lady wished. "Take your fish, my Lord of the World," the nurse mumbled from be* tween loose teeth, as she held out the basket of trout I had left on the grass. ",I'll answer for it that ye'll get ne'er bite nor sup to-day but these same, my Lord—my Lord Fishmonger." Then site cacchinated, echoed in the woods by a fresh young voice. Milady was enjoying herself immensely. Such had been my meeting with Mistress Rosemary Allyn. I laughed now as I recalled it. Mistress Rosemary Allyn thought me a boor, and because I dressed as the villagers, that I needs must be one of them. 'Sdeath! she might have seen with half an eye, had she not been so engrossed in her own little tempest, that my kerseymere was of the finest, and my linen being from the hand loom to Nance was of as sheer a texture as any to be had in London, aye, or oven Paris. Again, 1 laughed as I looked abroad. For as tax as eye could ^eT=^rbm^the=eTar" .nence we were apon, I looked upon my own land. CHAPTER HI. A Pair of Blue Eyes. We reached a point where two roads met. I took the lower one, telling Gil that I should be home anon. Inclination and desire to again see Mistress Rosemary Allyn pulled my horse's bridle reins in the direction of Castle Drout. Castle Drout was the only dwelling I To that terse question I had no answer. "I levy where I may/' I said Instead. Then, "My good maid, tell me where Mi3tress Rosemary Allyn has gone— if gone she has?" "Where would a fine lady go?" she said. "You have a glib tongue, my girL" I put in sharply. "I serve a glib mistress," she retorted as sharply with a courtesy. "I have a message for her/' I suggested. "Let me be the messenger/' she said, "since I follow her tomorrow." "No," I returned. "I prefer to give it into her own hands." "Well, London," at last she admitted, with a shrug of her pretty shoulders, At which a lace scarf knotted about them became unloosed. "London of course—London the home of handsome women and gallant men.

It was much nearer j than our huts (these lay at the salvage of vast woods) if one could have bridged the steep and ragged ravine which separated tne two castles. As i t was, the road led one some miles in and out of tortuous lands. I came near the castle. It loomed still and quaint as a deserted house. I got off my horse and left him to graze. I sat down on a bowlder not many yards from its postern gate. F supposed I was hidden from the eyea of its inhabitants, yet from my place of vantage could see if perchance any one either emerged or . went in through the narrow portals of the. gate. I had not been there many minutes siting with my chin resting upon my hands, when a voice said: "What need to watch the cage when the bird has flown away?" It was the wierdest place; people came upon one without a sound. I started and my face flushed. Quickly I assumed an indifferent air, for one does not care to wear one's heart upon one's sleeve for daws to peck at, and certainly this was a, daw —a most pert one—that stood besfde me. It was a red-haired maid with bold black eyes, which peered saucily into mine who had spoken. She was capped, aproaod, and had all the ether accessories that go to make up .the toilet of a fashionable lady's maid. "Bird? What bird, my pretty maid?" I asked. . "As if the gentleman did not know?" she said. \V*J know that yWre a deucedly pretty oAe,' 1 uffliwd, ami I kissed her 6%eek. "Oh. lud!"« she. cried* with a mock show of indignation. "What < would Mistress Rosemary say?" The room was daintiness itself in its extreme femininity, albeit the bed was disarranged as if milady had but just arisen. Laee fine as cobwebs was valanced about bed and dressing table. The table was bare of any toilet articles, save a box or two, but many silken bows stuck here and there filled up the barreness, an,d gave a touch of beauty to the whole. A large roomy chair of blue and white damask, an immense divan uphol stered in the same material, with a few spindle legged chairs was about all the room contained. Such daintiness, such femininity moved me like new made wine. 1 grew hot for shamefacedness at myself^ an intruder—going there. 1 turned away, but not, before I had caught sight of a pale blue satin slipper hiding under a frail chair. To see was to desire—to desire was to obtain. But how? All sorts of ludicrous ideas flashed upon me as a means of becoming the owner of that crumpled slipper. The maid—most acute observer—divined my thoughts ere I had time to say a word. "Pretty, is it not?" she laughed. "Pretty, Indeed," I admitted, adfor it?" she miring her cunning. "What Mil ye pay asked. - "What you will," I replied, delighted at being able to gain possession so easily. "A sovereign, please, sir," she said. I put my hand into my pocket and drew out the gold piece. I passed it Into her greedy palms—fat pin* palms. Evidently Mistress Rosemary Mlvii 1II1I mil li hnr mslrt Ui Dm spoiling of her hands.

"Yotrsee tnat I am unarmed," I replied with a shrug. "That can be soon remedied," he said. He stepped to the wall and took a rapier from the rack hanging there. He held it out hilt to hilt with the one that he had, measuring, them. "You see they are alike/' he said. I bowed and accepted the sword— I could do no less. "Surely not here?" I made one more protest. "Oh, lud!" the maid cried. "Silence, you have brought it upon yourself," he said to her. TO me with a bow, 4"Tis as good a place as'another." I intended to lesson him quickly and have done with th« business, which conferred no honor upon me. Back and forth we awept. I would not forget he was her brotherl I soon found that his slender wrists were like steel, and that he was as agile as a cat. t was warm parrying his dexterous thrusts and sought an opportunity to end the affair with as little harm as I could; but fighting gets into the blood when you have a bright point before you, and we both - m- 9 — fought as though we loved it.

Being a youth of great quickness, he took advantage of my momentary aberration. I received a thrust in the shoulder. He lowered his sword. "First blood!* cried the maid authoritatively. "It is enough." Honor was satisfied. Tl^e young spark was smiling slightly, but his face was as white as the lace handkerchief he drew back and forth ovei the gleaming lengtn of his rapier, reddening it. "As the gentleman has paid twice for the shoe in both blood and money^ I think, sir, it belongs to him," said the maid persuasively. The youth shrugged nis shoulders while he muttered something about its being- an old thing; and consequently of no account—a brother's view. •. Y-- "I am afraftJ, slrrthat yotiafe more seriously wounded than you think," he said, as he pointed to the dark spot gradually enlarging on my shirt. "A scratch; no more," I hastily said.

People are more likely to catch cold In the back than they ai*a generally aware of, and if neglected may prove a serious matter. The back, especially between the shoulders, should always bo kept well covered, and never lean with yoar back against anything that Is cold.

Immigration From Dakota and Adjoining States—Major Edwards, United States Consul General at Montreal, Describes the Movement as Due to Scarcity of Land. Montreal, Nov. 15.—Major Allison Edwards, United States Consul General, who returned to-day from a visit to his home at Fargo, North Dakota, said in an interview: "The proper way to describe the manner in which the people you are getting are the ing over into Western Canada is to say they are coming over in droves.

The tax of £2 on the cab and the 15-shilHng wheel duty are paid by the owner. Taking It day in many places the course of the railway. and dav out, the cabby makes about 5 shillings a day. In the season he may take in more money, but as the hire is raised on him it comes to the same thing. If he Is not content— and there is no reason why he should be—he does not grumble unduly. Every day in London 120,000 people ride in cabs. Of course there Is friction and there i s ^ deal of noisy quarreling over fares, but so far as my ex perience goes the cabby is usually right in his estimate of the distances he has traveled and the money that I* due him. The cab horses are a good lot. They are worked six hours a day on an average. About three years in a hansom, however, will do up the best of them. Then they dift down to the four-wheelers. Potato Flour. While Irish potatoes may be eaten more extensively than any other American vegetable, it may not be generally known that they are capable of reduction to an excellent flour. In Austria, according to a government report, the manufacture of this flour is an important Industry. Corn starch is largely unknown in Austria, potato flour being substituted. It is stated JtoJk^heaper than wheat^ flour and makes a beauitlfulTy^ghrcake. The potatoes are machined in such a mantier that the starch is separated from the cells that contain it. Water is u&ed freely, carrying away the starch into settling vessels. It is then rofined, cleansed and dried. The residue is fed to stock and also used in distilleries, breweries and sugar factories. Potato flour is largely used by the Israelites in this and other countries during the Feast of the Passover, for as wheat flour is a strictly forbidden article during that festival, potato flour is a welcome assistant to the housewife, who, in her preparation of "Pesach" dainties,.finds it capable of transformation into delicious cake —Indiana Farmer. to bo any thought of there being a boundary line, at all. It is simply a question," .added the major, "of there not being any more land in North Dakota and the surrounding States, and the people are flocking to Canada to get good farms. Naturally the number that will come over will increase all the time, and I may say the people of North Dakota are combest people In the west. .,They are well supplied with money and ' are well acquainted with the conditions under which tbey will have to work." The agents of the Canadian Government are prepared to give the fullest Information regarding homestead and other lands. Franklin's Wise Advice.

Shortly after Lady Tennyson's marriage ono of her women friends wrote the following: "We would find Mrs. Tennyson alone in the large drawing room—always writing—arrayed in a dress of Boft gray merino trimmed with velvet or fur, and with a long train, a piece of rich old lace, worn instead of a cap, drooping over her hair behind and coming to a point in front. She was extremely^ kind in lending us books; among these I particularly remember Fichte's philosophical works, which she admired greatly. Her manner was always most gracious and dignified—perhaps rather languid, hut thia arose chiefly from lack of vi- / tality or physical strength.'

The study of agriculture in its rudiments iu our rural schools Is one of the pressing "demands,of the times. It is a question that will trot down. It is one with which the grasfge can deal, and the grunge must agitate the reform until it has been accomplished. As H. E. Cook well says in an exchange, the Order has never in its history approved and pushed any just oanso that was not finally granted by » a r -executive and lawmaking bodies. This i i a just and righteous cause, and when this strong organization gets squarely behind the proposition with something like a definite s<lieme, sufficients .worked out and concretely present ill. then will agriculture be a part of the rural school curriculum. A suggestion may be added that our labor unions adopt the fundamental grange 'principle of education, The yi-mpn nel^lwaHy mfl<1« n atrnng effort haled Howell, Mich.. IVc. 10 1904. t 52 W, J.

But how many people have tried this - method of insuring a prompt awakening at a given hour In the morning only to find their rest throughout the night disturbed and uneasy. The brain will usually respond to the will and awaken one in the morn* iftg near the desired nour under any circumstances, but to prevent the unbroken uneasy sleep the adoption of oaly a very simple device is necsjaary. The last thing before getting injo bed, take a watch or clock and turn the hands to the hour St which one wishes to rise and gase at fhis lust long enough to fix the hour' firmly on the retentive^ memory. Then, if no other absorbing thoughts intervene between that and the moment one is locked in slumber, the night's rest will be easy and unbroken and promptly at the hour in the morning, as a rule, one will find one's- self released frdm sleep and wide awake. There is no need to keep thinking of the hour continually for a number of minutes, no need to repeat it over and over in the mind; all that makes the brain uneasyL_aiid_j;esull8 in. the disturbed slumber. Simplylook at the watch or clock, as I have indicated, and the Influence of the mind over matter will be clearly demonstrated in the morning. Try it some* night and observe how smoothly this phyflchological fact, works. P L A V l N f t . W BAM DRUM. Takes ^ | ^ ^ > .

It works on the principle of a water-generated gas which fills a belt and gives it buoyancy. Unlnflated, the belt is a light thing, which would. hardly be felt if worn by a sleeper, but when filled with gas it is<blown up to th« sizetjf an ordinary cork jacket. The belt is made of rubber, and is about eight Inches wide arid can be blown up by means of a - -small—cylinder* -- In this—cylinder is placed a composition of acids which, when acted upon by water, Instantly inflates, the belt, The belt has been tested in the oeeftn, and it has been found that the water acts upon the acids and inflates. the rubber in less fekan-ihree seconds.

"The star is beautiful and splendid," said the boy with shining eyes. "Undimmed It shine," said the Star. "And He in whose sight a thousand years are but a day sees mankind look toward me every year with new intelligence and love. Ages have passed and jther ages still must be before the Word shall be fulfilled. But every £hri ;tmas eve I shine upon a world that has moved forward step by step."

In 1G8G the Star shines on grim and moody facen In the town of New York. in the New World after that. Its -serene beam shines on Montezuma in 1519, a prisoner in the bloody hands of Cortez. It shines on Cortez again with his men in the next Christmas eve, lying before Tezcuco, which he is to enter and plunder before the end of the week. On the Christmas eve of 1529 and for ten Christmas eves thereafter the Star looks on an American Odyssey. It is the Odyssey of Alvar Nunez and his three companions, sole survivors of the expedition of Pamfilo de Narvacz, wandering along tho northern coast of Mexico, through Texas, to the Rocky Mountains, and thence to Mexico, trying to find a way to take them back to Spain. They spend one Christmas eve in being worshiped as demigods by a tribe of Indians. They Virginia spend many others in working as slaves. In 15G7 the Star sees a gathering in Antwerp. It is a terrible gathering that .conceives a thought of inhuman wickedness and ferocity. Yet out of this Christmas meeting shall a great freedom be born. For it is that of the Spanish rulers in the Netherlands, and at it is adopted the decree of the Inquisition that condemns all the inhabitants of the Netherlands, with but few exceptions, to death.

Sitting with a few companions by a camp fire in the primeval wilderness of Pennsylvania, a young surveyor looks up at it in 1753.

Florisant, Mo., Dec. 19th,—(SpeclaT) —That Dodd'a Kidney Pills are doing a great work in cUrlHg the more terrible forms of Kidney Disease, such aa Bright's'Dfsease, Dropsy and Diabetes, everybody knows. But it must also be noted that they are doing a still greater work in- wiping out thousands of cases of the earlier stages of Kidney Disease. Take for instance, Mrs. Peter Barteau of this place. She says: — I have been subject to pains In my back and knees for about three years, but since I have been taking Dodd's Kidney Pills I have been entirely cured." Others here tell similar stories. In faut, In this part of Missouri there are* scores of people who have cured the early symptoms of Kidney Disease with Dodd's l^idney Pills. The use of the Great American Kidney Remedy thus saved not only the lives of Kidney Disease victims, but thousands of other Americans from years of Bufferings.

I served him when a slip ot a boy, like you, I no better before he went to Granada. Aye, I served him before a woman made a mess of his life, although, thank God! I was not with him at the time, being called home by a dying father. I could many a tale relate an I would." He concluded, and a s was usual with 1 then vexed as I saw my frolic in six feet two and corresponding breadth and muscle count for something. Gil w a s dwarfish in stature,, with arms so long they -almost swept the ground when h e walked stooping slightly forward. The strength in his arms and hands w a s something prodigious. He could hang from the limb of a tree and swing far out by rocking his body, propel himself into another tree, there catching a branch as easily >s a monKey might. This strength enough brewed to suit even the blase palates of the young." t "Yes, no doubt this will bring us some excitement," I said with a chuckle, as I put my hand" into my pocket to produce the slip of paper I had earned at the -gambling table, -{-intended to recall to his mind tfiaT the few words inscribed £here should give us endless sport. Hy pocket was empty! The paper was gone! . "What is the matter?" "Matter—matter enough^" J replied as I searched through my pockets, strewing the ground with their contents. "Evidently," he said. "You look as if you had lost a father er an equally near relative." "I have," I acknowledged with a grim chuckle, "a nearer—a wife." •. No doubt my ruddy color did change—I was startled at first and Lord Waters' Message. I went into the house and down a long corridor until I reached the nook known as the library. Here my father was wont to spend most of his time. - A quiet "herein" came in response to my resounding knock. It dampened my ardor so still was it in contract to my impetuousity, and recallecl most yiyidly_jghat-j«raa verge of slipping my mind, that Lord W f t ^ ^ ^ g P wratf>hnrily filVilr pYn|fr,— His life, as Gil had said, had been ruined by a woman—his first wife.. Prom a gay cavalier about that unfortunate King Charles I. court, he had become a morose Eoundhead. A Roundhead for a short time only, but a morose man ever afterwardl It is a matter of history how after leaving the King's side and serving Cromwell at both the battles of Winceby and Marsden, h e had as suddenly resigned from the army and gone to his estate at Long Haut in Sussex"*county. There he married, having previously obtained a divorce from his first wife, a squire's daughter who brought him much land and gold. What could have induced him to marry again alter such a dire failure I know not. Men are inscrutable crea tures; no doubt a woman's tender glances made him for the time forget his former disappointment. I was the issue of this second marriage. My mother, a gentle creature, dying in child birth, left Lord Waters to again face an existence which had slight charm for him. Long Haut was not so many miles from London as the crow flies, but separated from it by sloughs, rocky hills and morasses. The Manor jjHjquse w a s buflt on* a steep hill of bowlders taken from the rocky hillside. It was well nigh impregnable, and that perhaps was why in the many changes of Parliament it -had^—been loft to—the indisputable V •-.• *%: m :<?fj MRS. HENRIETTA MARSH. A VICTIM OF LA GRIPPE.

"Gentlemen of honor are rare birds these aaya," he interrupted. •— "And—why need he know that I have it not?" I finished my sentence. "That I take it those Londoners will7 not be long in finding out," he said. While Gil tramped up and down, 1 sat down on a bench and tried to think. I had not lost it upon the ride homeward, of that I was certain; for when 1 went to pay the maid for the and agtllty had earned him the name of "The ape" when a youth. • \ His head w a s massive and set low my coat upon the chair after stripping supper at castle Drout I had felt it in my pocket. No doubt if had fallen out on the floor when I h a d thrown rights of its original owners, when many other estates changed hands. Only one horse road led to it. It was a road that in fair weather w a s only fair, but in foul an unapproachable way. The wagon must be of strong timber that could even climb to where the bridle path began; but let it rain, and it rained often in that r»gion by the sea, the road became a river of mud. A cart trying to ascend then would be buried up to the hubs and needs be forced to stay there un til spring dried up the slough. The Manor was surrounded by many acres of forest, fen, fell and some tillable land. A village which was held in fief of some- hundred' souls was huddled at its purlieus and gave Lord Waters little obligation They seemingly rendered him scant service, except at the planting in the spring time, and in the autumn there gathered together a motley, half-sav age crowd—consisting of men,, worn en and children^-and they all fell to work at the husking and flailing of the corn. When the work was done, riotous fun began. Flaming torches of tarred pine were placed at intervals in the open to give light and to piece out the harvest moon.
