TOLD A Yoanf Mas Shoot* His Yoathfnl Mistress and Flree a Bullet Into His Brain—A Pardon for Hurry Dela— Teaoaere' and Jadg-ee' Conventions Tragical Doable ghootlu* at Detroit. A young man and a young woman stepped into a drug store on Jefferson avenue, Detroit, and telephoned to Emergency hospital for an ambulanoe to take two wounded persons to the hospital. When it arrived the attending physician was surprised to have die young couple present themselves as the wounded ones. They were apparently quite weak and examination showed that each had a bullet wouud in the head. At the hospital they gave the names of Myrtle Cramer, aged 18, of Grand Ledge, and Edward Travers, aged 23, of Detroit The girl says they •bad spent the night at a rooming house and when they awoke in the morning Travers shot her and then sent a bullet into his own brain. She said she was willing for him to kill her and had submitted to previous attempts under situftar circumstances. Once he had tried to strangle her and another time opened an artery in her wrist The girl had been working in Detroit about <*eo montha She will recover, but Travers will probably die. A Wicked Old Sinner. Michigan and Indiana officers are after a man, aged about 05, who gave the names of George VV. Clark, W. B. Sherman, George La Blanche and W. T. ttrfok. "Clark" is credited by Laporte, Ind., police with having married three women within 60 days, and of • fearing deserted them as soon as he been red all of the money and valuables lie could. The stranger's last conquest was Mrs. Lucy Killara, aged 00, of Kalamazoo. While there he was 'known as William Sherman. They were married after two mouth's acquaintance and he left within a mouth, opting several bills, but taking a big rati of money with him. He dined With her brother in Battle Creek and disappeared, taking a team of horses, a buggy and a lumber wagon, it is alleged, from a feed barn in Battle Creek, and has not been seen since. Sheriff Snow is looking for him. Other al-. leged wives are at Sturgis and Mishawaka, ind. . — _ K/ Another Big Fire In Detroit. Detroit was visited by another disastrous fire that entailed a loss of •130,008 to half a dozen firms. The old Arcade building, 46-50 West Larned street, the scene of half a dozen serious fires in the last 25 years, was found in flames at 11:52 p. m., and before the •/fepa^tment could respond, the structure was enveloped in dames. The basement and the first floor were occupied by W. C. Jupp, paper and printers' supplies; the second floor by Chas. L/. Eoehm & Sons, bookbinders, and the third floor by F. J. Mains, perfume manufacturer. All of these were completely wiped out by'fireV and water. The flames broke through} into the building occupied by the Detroit Free Press Printing Co., the Ilabbin Electrotype Co. and minor concerns. The fifth story was ruined and the rear of the fourth badly damaged while the remainder of the structure and contents were soaked with water. school Teacher* of Wlelftfaiw. $he best convention of the atiohlgan '£eaehers' association ever held was the forty-seventh, which otcapied three days at Lansing. There was a larger attendance by several hundred; than ever before. President Delo* Fall, of Albion college, compared the change of half a century. In 1845 there were 1,314 male and 1,830 female teachers in Michigan, the former receiving an average monthly salary of 911.08 and the latter $5.34. Of the 16,000 teachers reported in 18U5 more than 12,000 were women who received an average salary of 935.09 While the men averaged 946,17. More and better educated women in our schools is now the rule. He also said that attention was beiug paid to the child's body as well as bis mind. He strongly commended the law of 1803 makiug it compulsory .to indicate methous of preventing the spread of communicable diseases. Many subject* wore discussed bearing upon the relations of teachers to pupils, to the general public and to their immediate employers — the school board. The star of the convention was Bishop John H. Vincent, of Chautauqua fame, who addressed a large audience at the First Baptist church. His subject was "Tom aud His Teachers.1' Officers elected: President. .1. W. Simmons, of Owosso; vice-presidents, H. Z. Brook, of Hancock, and J. 11. Kaye, of Cadillac; secretary, M. L. Palmer, of Jackson; treasurer, S. J. Gler, of HillsdaleLexecutiye committee, George W. Loomis, of S t Joseph; A. Gaylord Slocum, of Kalamazoo, and Lucy A. Sloan, of Mt. Pleasant After the completion of the general business (the association divided into sections and discussed matters of nearest interest to the different classes. The presidents elected by the various sections were as follows: College section, D. C. Thomas, of Adrian; High School, S. W. Peavy, of Flint; Mathematical, W. W. Be man, of Ann Arbor; Primary, Miss Martha Sherwood, of Saginaw; Musical, Mrs. Emma A. Thomas, of Detroit; Kindergarten, Miss Clara Mingen, of Detroit," Physi- '-J~cal Culture, Dr. EV M. Mosher, of Ann Arbor. An address by Gov. Pingree, full of good advice and information was well received, and a reception in the state house in the evening was a brilliant event, with as elaborate luncheon spread in the executive office by Gov. Pingree as a surprise, and music by the Albion band and the Boys' Industrial school choir. The State Association of County Commissioners of Schools held the annual meeting at Lansing in connection with the teachers' meeting. A multitude of matters of interest and importance were dicussed. Officers elected: President, It. M. Winston, of St Johns; vice president. R. D.

Harry Dale, whose real name is Thomas Howard, hat, been pardoned unconditionally by Gov. Pingree. This case has attracted more attention throughout the state than probably any other like case. In May. 1896, Dale was sent from Detroit to Jackson state prison for life, after having been tried twice and convicted once on the charge of having assaulted little Maggie Leonard. Almost since the day of his conviction friends of Dale have been working for his pardon. The pardon board held numerous meetings and finally Secretary Tomlinson carried to the governor recommendations from the board that Dale be pardoned. The governor signed the pardon papers and sent them to Jackson. Dale walked from the.prison a free man, and left at once for Topeka, Ks., to join his family. A Civil Service Squabble.

Judge*' Association Meeting. The fifth annual meeting of the Association of Judges of Michigan was held in the supreme court room of the capitol at Lansing. The annual address of President George S. Hosraer, of Detroit, was a review of legislation enacted since the last meeting. The act allowing suits to be brought against any voluntary association of five or more by service on any officer was oommen led upon and commended. Judge Hostner regretted that the divorce law did not allow the bringing in of an absent defendant bv publication only after it became apparent that personal service of an order to appear could not be had. In speaking of class legislation President Hosraer mentioned the sugar beet bounty law and quoted Judge Cooley as against these bounties. The act to prefer ex-soldiers for public employment was considered at great length and it was said that while there are few men who will deny the claims of the soldier to public consideration, yet his claims should be enforced through public opinion, not through legislative action, and it is doubtful whether it is competent for the legislature to direct the local authority beyond requiring peculiar qualifications to insure fitness. ' The program included papers on "A Legal Anomaly," Justice Hooker of the supreme court; "The Pardoning Power and its Limitations," Charles L. Rarden, of Greenville; "Experiences Upon the Bench," Judge E. A. Burlingame, of Grand Rapids. Considerable discussion was caused by a paper by Justice Edward Cahill, of the supreme court, on "The Bench, as Viewed from the Bar." Judge Cahill severely criticised the jury system as a relic of barbarism. He said the corruptibility of jurors was recognized, and jurors have to submit to an espionage which no self-regpecting judge would stand for a day. Men with neither education nor experience for their work are selected by l o t The attorneys do their utmost to befog the jury, and the judge cannot marshal the actual facts for the instruction of has promised erect a! new depot at Port Huron.

The fire in the big steel coal shed at Dollar Bay is under control, after the firemen have been at work for three weeks.

Women's and children's clothing is most needed and food supplies should be canned goods (condensed milk for children is greatly desired),or other articles not of a perishable nature. Money is needed for medicines, nurses, etc. The Spanish authorities have consented to admit all supplies free of duty and U. S. Consul-General Lee will attend to the distribution. British and Japs Oppose Rusaia. A special dispatch from Shanghai says: It is reported that 17 British warships are off Chemulpo, Korea, southwest of Seoul, supporting the British consul's protest, really amounting to an ultimatum, against the king's practically yielding the government of Korea into the hands of the Russian minister. The protest is specially directed against the dismissal of Mc- Leavy Brown, British adviser to the Korean customs, in favor of a Russian nominee. The news has produced consternation at Seoul, aud is hightened by the knowledge that Japan has a fleet of 30 warships awaiting thi? result of the British representation which Japan fully supports. Japan is irritated by the arrival of Russian troops in Korea and it is believed that she will oppose them. Russia, according to another dispatch from Shanghai, is preparing temporary headquarters for 10,000 troops at Port Arthur. She has obtained a half promise from the grand council at Peking to dismiss Sir Robert Hart, director of Chinese imperial maritime customs, and other high customs officials, in addition to the British railway officials and the German officers and instructors and replace them with Russians. the bars, all for horse stealing. •fee Michigan Sugar Co., at Bay City, Liu.-!-,* \ "*-''•*$'- "'«••* m. aife ck itoav estate it Many farsaers from" have had experience fceets, arc looking for for its beet includes 90 taxes.

The criticism made is that if President McKinley does not openly repudiate his secretary of "Cie treasury he will share with him in the attacks which are sure to come us soon as congress reconvenes. Mr. Gage by his persistence in advocating the gold standard has put the President in more than an equivocal position. It virtually announces to the world that he was not in earnest when he appointed an international bimetallic commission and held views contrary to the very instructions he gave the commissioners. The movement against Secretary Gage is said to be backed by a number of Republican senators who charge that Mr. Gage is not a Republican at heart, and that he is so pronounced in advocacy of the single gold standard that he would sacrifice his party, if necessary, to establish i t The one who more directly feels the interference of Secretary Gage is Senator Wolcott This senator is a free silver advocate, but he stood by the Republican platform in the last election because of the plank advocating international bimetallism.

J o e c a m e home drunk and knocked her about, and one of the neighbors, w h o couldn't bear it any longer, went and fetched a policeman, and J o e was marched off, to poor Janet's unutterable dismay," Miss Ditnsdale replied. "Poor J a n e t ! " murmured Dorothy, softly. "By the by, Joe Benham works for you, David, does he not?" Miss Dlmsdale asked. "Yes, he does." - "I wonder could you do something? Poor Janet is in the most dreadful trouble about him." "Well, I'll go round and see if you like," David answered; "but Benham's an awful brute, and will drink all he can get hold of to the end of the chapter. I don't know whether you have ever noticed it. Miss Dimsdale. but somehow it seems to me that almost invariably the women prefer to m*rry the wrong men, and vice versa. Look at my o w n mother, for Instance; a sweeter creature did not live, but she was never the right wife for icy father, and nobody knew it better than h i m - self. Yes, and she knew it, too. She always uBed to tell father that w h e n he went from Graveleigh Hall to D o v - ercourt he made the greatest m i s t a k e of his life." "Past Graveleigh Hall, you mean, David,' put in Dorothy, sharply. "I dare say h e knew very well what he was about, and took the one because he could not get the other." "My dears, my dears," cried Miss Dimsdale, to whom all this was untold agony, "let bygones be bygones. I am sure, David, that your father w a s In love with your mother to the very end. Really, the young people of today take too much upon themselves a n d settle the affairs of their elders in a n offhand w a y which is positively indec e n t " There waB a sound of tears in Miss Dimsdale's voice- which went near to betraying that this subject had more than a c o m m o n interest for her. Dorothy recognized dimly that her aunt w a s pained by something that had been said, and never sorry to have a n excuse for finding fault w i t h David, s h e turned sharply upon him. "Really, David," she cried, "it is very dishonorable of you t o come telling us w h a t your mother used to say to your father—it could n e r e r have been meant for us to hear, probably not for you, either. They are both dead, and their mistakes are at a n end. We don't want to know a n y t h i n g about them. F o r m y part, David," s h e went on, severely eyeing the y o u n g man, w h o had turned a fine scarlet hue at her rather pointed remarks, "I must say that I am surprised to find you are capable either of listening o r of tattling about it afterwards.1" H e tried hard to laugh it off as if she had uttered s o m e wonderful joke, but his face w a s burning w i t h shame and anger, too, and as s o o n . a s h e conveniently could he betook himself away. "Dorothy, dear, you are a little hard o n him," said Miss Dimsdale, w i t h a s i g h ; after all, he was h e r old love's son, and h i s mother had been her dearest friend. "Not a t all," said Dorothy, sharply. "David should keep his reminiscences to himself." "I w i s h you liked David better," said Miss Dimsdale, rather wistfully. "So d o I, auntie, for your sake," a n - swered Dorothy. "Ton k n o w I do. But I don't like him at all; ( never did—I never shall. I can't bear h i m . and if David w a s a man," w i t h withering scorn, "he would take BO tor a n a n s w e r and leave me alone." It happened that t w o d a y s later than this our friend Dick Aylmer received a letter, which ran thus: "Your cousin"—there was no affectionate prefix—"Mary Annandale, writes t o m e this morning t o a n - nounce her engagement and approachi n g marriage to Prince Louis Lorinoff — s o there is half a million of money lost t o the family and thrown d e a n o u t of t h e country.

P i c k read it and read it again and then tossed it aside with a short laugh. \ "Nice letter to have from one's nearest relative," h e said to* himself.

Aye, but her ladyship i i . a s tough as leather and as hard a s nails and she'll take good care he doesn't h a v e that chance, Well, with a l o n g breath that was half a sigh and half o n l y an expression of relief, "so Mary Annandale is going to be the Princess Louis Lorinoff!

And I'm not t o marry before I'm forty— that's w h a t it amounts to practically. Well, I don't know that I mind that very much—do I? A h ! well, I don't s o m u c h know about that—I " and t h e n h e stopped short and fell into a sort of dream, a dream of himself w a l k i n g along a country road and beside him—"and, o h ! damnation," said Dick A y l m e r aloud, "what did the old brute want to write to m e for?" H e struck a match and set fire to the letter; then a sudden thought occurred to hint and he crushed the flame out and locked the letter carefully away in his dispatch box. "I may find that remark about marrying again useful," he said to himself. "Anyway, best to keep It." But though he had locked the letter a w a y he could not put the thoughts of It a w a y from him as easily. Indeed, it kept coming back to him again and again, particularly that one unpalatable sentence about him waiting till he was forty before he need expect his uncle to hear of his marrying under a certain amount of dower with the bride. N o w , Dick Aylmer was utterly Ignorant of the circumstances in which the little girl of his dream was placed. She might have a dower, it might be large or small, he did not k n o w ; and on the other hand, It was more than likely that she had not so m u c h as a penny in the world. Somehow, although he had never been within the precincts of Graveleigh Hall, he had an idea that it was a place without much money b e h i n d - t t . T r u e , the beds in front of the house were gay with flowers and the house was large and of a certain appearance. But the hedges which skirted the sloping meadow were none too well kept; the entrance gates needed a coat of paint badly, and had apparently got well used to the necessity; the drive was not very well kept, Mtftaiattla w*k S E T F I R E TO T H E LETTER, and altogether he fancied that Dorothy Strode's dower would be but a thing of small importance compared with his uncle's idea of what Dick's wife ought to be possessed of. N o w , I may as well say here that Dick Alymer had made up his mind to marry the little girl of his dream. It m i g h t be sooner o r it m i g h t be later, but he meant to do it all the same. If he could get her sooner—why, he would; and if he oooid not get her a s soon a s h e wanted her w h y , he would have to wait; but aa for w a i t i n g till bis savage old uncle c h o s e t o s a y "yea or nay"—why, the idea w a s s i m p l y preposteroam, a n d Dick p a t i t aside a t once a s a contingency which ooaM not be 4sos»ftdered for a m o m e n t After a n , h i s marriage was h i s business, h i s a a d a o b o d y else's o n ate aide; h e saeaat t o aaarry t o please htametf, a a d a t e a n c l e ooaM g o to the deuce tf h e liked.

Lord Aylmer w a s absolutely powerless t o leave o n e stick or s t o n e a w a y f r o m him—the property must g o w i t h t h e title to the heir w h o was t o follow him. A couple of days went by, and Dick Aylmer had almost forgotten b i s u n - cle's letter in the pleasure of anticipation, and by the time he turned out of the barrack gates, bound for Graveleigh Hall to make his formal call upon Dorothy Strode's aunt, h o w a s in as gay and lightsome a mood a s he h a d ever been in in all his life. And, o h ! by Jove, he reminded himself that h e had forgotten, or more correctly h e had never known, what the old lady's n a m e was. Dorothy had called her "auntie," and he had naturally said "your aunt," and he had come away without knowing w h a t her name and State were, whether she was wife, widow or maid: However, he did not let t h a t trouble him much, and h e drove gayly along between the sweet wild hedgerows,feeling as if the soft September air, just tempered with a breeze off the sea* was air of an Arcadian land, and such objectionable persons as aristocratic relations did not exist in all the world. And then when he reached Graveleigh, the long straggling village street w i t h its quaint old-world shops and its odd little postofflce, he pulled up the good horse and stopped to make inquiries. "Can you tell me where Graveleigh Hall is?" he asked of a respectable woman. "Why, yes, sir—you do g o along that road and take the first turn t o the right and then yo do come to it," s h e replied. "Ah, thanks. By-the-bye, w h a t is the n a m e of the lady w h o lives there?" he asked, carelessly. "Miss Dimsdale, she do live at the Hall," the woman replied. "And Miss Dorothy, she do live with her." "Thank yon very much," said Dick, pleasantly. The good w o m a n watched him as he drove along. "Another of 'em after Miss Dorothy," she said to herself. And Dick drove gaily along, getting more and more light hearted a s h e went; for w a s he not getting nearer and nearer with every stride of old Derby's legs t o her? B a t he did not get to the hall w i t h o u t being further watched.

Said the mayor, with a smile that w a s chtldUka and bland: "Sire, that Is not the best wine we can boast of; we have something better in tbe communal cellar. If your majesty would but taste that, then, indeed, you would be pleased." "Possibly," said the king, "but why did you not produce this sjpdal brew today?" "That wine," replied the municipal magnate, "we keep tor none but great occasion*," King Humbert's comment i» not recorded. Signor Crispi, the former premier of Italy, a man whose name has been closely and painfully connected with the Bank of Naples scandals, is one of the most superstitious men in a land where superstition reigns, The ex-premier has a wholesome dread of the supposedly fatal influence of the "evil eye," and invariably carries about bis person an amulet charm, made of ccral and horn-shaped. This peculiar product of art and superstition is supposed by the vast majority of Italians to act as a specific against the "evil eye," and, consequently, Crispi never fails to clutch his amulet when threatened by an enemy. There was once witnessed a delicious episode in the Italian parliament bearing on these facts. In the course of a heated and somewhat virulent debate, Signor Cavalottl, one of Crispi's most inveterate adversaries, rose from his seat- with the apparent intention of attacking the great minister. The latter, however, was equal to the occasion, and, crying, "Come on; I defy you!" waved the coral curio in the faoe of his speedily abashed adversary. Needless to say", an otherwise turbulent scene terminated in general hilarity. M«tf«nal Lot*.. January J7, Barritt Hamilton, "The American B o y " Don't fail to bear this lecture.

Parricide Is considered only one degree less culpable than treason, and la punished as a crime of the deepest dye. such a violation of the ties of nature being held to be evidence of the most unprincipled depravity. Any-person convicted of a design t o kill his or her parents or ancestors, whether a blow be struck or not, is liable to suffer death by being beheaded. If tbe murder is actually committed, all the parties concerned therein, whether principals or accessories, If related to the dai-eased as above mentioned, sulfer death in a slow and palnnannfiu being cut Into a thousand pieces. If the criminal dies in prison an execution similar in mode takee place on his body. Murder In all cases is punished by decapitation. When committed with the design of afterward mangling the) body and distributing the limbs of the deceased for magical purposes, not only Is the offender executed, but all the i n - mates of his house, although Innocent of the crime, are perpetually banished. Persons giving information by which such offenders are brought to justice race ive a reward of twenty ounces of silver from the government. All persons rearing venomous animals, or preparing diugs of a poisonous nature, for the purpose of murder, are beheaded; their property confiscated, and family banished, even if no person Is actually killed by such means. The use of abusive language is very sternly repressed, especially if the o * fended person happens to be the husband or ancestor of the offender. The code says: "Opprobrious and insulting language, having naturally a tendency to produce quarrels and affrays, this book of laws expressly provides for i t s prevention and punishment."—Green j Ba«.

ANDREWS, Publisher* f » •• i • • PINOKNKY, MICHIGAA There mutt he larger bird*. Th» women went them for their bonnets. The clergyman who married a cootie In a Hone' den took care to remain outaide during the ceremony. He hadn't the blood of the late Mr. Danlei in his veins, and he had no desire to go to judgment. A couple lately sought fame by being married in a cage with two lions at a "soo." The same day a free wo- »an married a convict in a prison cell, and a giggling couple mounted a stove which became theirs at the close of the feremony. When one reads of these, >nd also of mock marriages between Jiny children at charity fairs, one bet* ter comprehends the growing levltj With which solemn ceremonies are in* tested. The bulk of England's great ocean :onnage is made up of what is known as "tramp steamers"—stanch, but slow freight carriers, economical in maintenance, which seek, cargoes wherever they are to be found. There may be much significance in the announcement that the first American steamer of this character is under construction with the Bath Iron works of Bath, Me. This vessel is for a New York house. It lis to be completed next May, and will at once compete with the foreign "tramp" steamers. It would seem that one of the chief cares of schools and colleges would be that students should learn to speak correctly. The mental drill that accompanies the study of language is invaluable. Of course, it is easy to say that there are many things in life more Important than correct speaking. This la true, but as a nation we are old enough to have acquired not merely the essentials, but some of the graces as wen. In other words, it is time we were "adding to our common schooling evidences of culture. And one of the moat indisputable of these is correct speech. a The Queen Regent of Spain has pardoned the Americans who were taken from the schooner Competitor in April, 1896, aa she was engaged in landing a military expedition on the Cuban coast. These men, Including the captain, mate and steward of the schooner and a newspaper correspondent, were tried by court martial soon after their capture and sentenged^ to death. The United States government intervened to secure for them a trial by the civil courts, in accordance wlth'ouFfreal with Spain. The cases were the subject of protracted diplomatic corre- •pondence and of several debates in congress. The course of Spain, in setting die men free, removes one of the mast serious causes of irritation between the two countries. Last year the girls in a school in Brook line, Mass., took lessons in bread and cake making, while the boys learned carpentry and carving. This 'year the girls are making wooden tables and chairs, but the boys, one day each week, are taught to make coffee, to boil cereals, to broil steaks, to fry and scrambled eggs, and to make omelets. One boy, while admitting that the failures were many, remarked that cooking was much nicer than sawing boards or hammering nails, "Cos you can walk around and talk and taste all the things." Whatever that cooking elass may do for the boys, the lessons in carpentry will do much for the girls if they teach them to hammer in a nail without pounding a finger nail or splitting the board, and to set a screw and saw a board without becoming nervous. A United States report on Austria aa a grain-producing country says: From statistics It la evident that a marked chance has occurred' during the last few year* aa regards the grain situation in Austria-Hungary. Not only in the case of wheat, but also in that of the various other cereals, the tendency has been towards a larger hoane consumption of the national product and a consequent reduction of the surplus available for shipment to other lands. To such an extent have the exports declined and the imports increased that most of the cereals are now brought into the country in larger ejnantities than they are exported. Barley is the only grain of which any considerable amount continues to be shipped abroad. In respect to other - cereals, the status of the Monarchy la apparel Uy that of transition from an exporting into an importless country. While it.is hardly to so eape**i*d that these changed conditions wl» to any considerable extent create an enlarged demand for American cereals, the facts set forth are certainly of uuaereet as indicating the lessened Imnmnnmcs af Austria-Hungary among the enuncrie* with which the United Sta*** Is ohUg ed to compete is thn •***» ananu a# the world. •asi m&m = TAIMAGJS'S B] j la* i t the coral it its long continued accumulation.

HY do you say that, Inspired dramatist? When you wanted to set forth the superior value of our religion, you tossed aside the onyx, which la used for making exquisite cameos, and the sapphire, sky-blue, and topai of rhombic prism, And the ruby of froaen blood, and here you say that the coral, which Is a miracle of shape and a transport of color to thoBe who have studied it, is not worthy of mention in comparison with our holy religion. "No mention shall be made of coral." At Saint Johnsbury, V u in a museum built by the chief citicen, as I examined a specimen on the shelf, I first realised what a holy of holies God can build and has built in the temple of one piece of coral. I do not wonder that Ernst Heckel, the great scientist, while in Ceylon, was so entranced with the specimens which some Cingalese divers had brought up for his inspection that he himself plunged into the sea, and went clear under the waves at the risk of his life, again, and again, and again, that he might know more of the coral, the beauty of which he indicates cannot even be guessed by those who have only seen it above water, and after the polyps, which are its Bculptors, and architects, have died and the chief glories of these submarine flowers have expired. Job, in my text, did not mean to depreciate this divine sculpture in the coral reefs along the sea coasts. No one can afford to depreciate these white palaces of the deep, built under God's direction. He never changes his plans for the building of the islands and shores; and for uncounted thousands of years the coral gardens, and the coral castles, and the coral battlements go on and up. I charge you that you will please God and please yourself if you will go into the minute examination of the corals—their foundations, their pinnacles, their aisles, their pillars, their curves, their cleavages, their reticulation, their grouping—families of them, towns of them, cities of them, and continents of them. Indeed, you rAn tint. apprftHftto the meaning of my text unless you know something of the coral. Labyrinthlan, stellar, columnar, floral, dented like shields from battle, spotted like leopards, embroidered like lace, hung like upholsterytwilight and auroras and sunbursts of beauty! Prom deep crimson to milkwhite are its colors. You may find this work of God through the animalcules eighty fathoms down, or amid the breakers, where the sea dashes the wildest, and beats the mightiest, and bellows the loudest. Nothing so impresses me with the fact that our God loves the beautiful. The most beautiful coral of the world never comes to human observation. Sunrises and sunsets he hangs up for nations to look at; he may green the grass, and round the dew into peart, and set on fire autumnal foliage to please mortal sight, but those thousands of miles of coral achievement I think he has had built for his own delight In those galleries he alone can walk. The music of those keys, played on by the fingers of the wave, he.only can hear. The snow of that white and the bloom of that crimson he alone can see. Having gamitured this world to please the human race, and lifted a glorious heaven to please the angelic intelligences, I am glad that he has planted these gardens of the deep to please himself. Bat here and there God allows specimens of submarine glory to be brought up and set before us for sublime contemplation. While I speak, these great nations of zoophytes, meandrinas and madrepores, with tentacle* for trowel, are building just such coral as we find in our text The diamond may be more rare, the crystal may be more sparkling, the chrysoprase may be more ablaze, but the coral ia the lone deep, everlasting blush of the sen. Yet Job, who understood all kinds of precious stones, declares that the beauty and value of the coral are nothing compared with our holy religlasa^nd picks up this coralline form&Hi nad 1 looks at it, and flings *• SM^mki^l all the other beautiful ever heard of, and cries of admiration for the superior qu lties of our religion: "No mention shall he made of coral." Take my hand, and we wifl walk through this bower of the sea, while I show you that even exquisite coral is nut worthy of being compared with the richer jewels of a Christian s e n t The first thing that strikes me an sssnttherc axe reefs hundreds of fait deep and one thousand miles long. Who hum these reefs, these islands? The toophytea, the corallines. They were net such workers who built the pyramids aa were these masons, these creatures of the sea; What small creations amounting to what vast aggregation? Who can estimate the ages between the time when the madrepores laid the foundationa of the islands and- the time when the madrepores put on the capstone of a completed work? It pussies all the scientists to guess through how many years the corallines were building the Sandwich and Society Islands and the Marshall and Gilbert groups. But more slowly and wonderfully accumulative is grace In the heart You sometimes get discouraged because the upbuilding by the soul does not go on more rapidly. Why, you have all eternity to oulld in! The little annoyances of life are soophyte builders, and there will be small layer on top of small layer, and fossilised grief on the top of fossilised grief. Grace does not go up rapidly in your soul, but, blessed be God, it goes up. Ten thousand million ages will not finish you. You will never be finished. On forever! Up forever! Out of the sea of earthly disquietude will gradually rise the reefs, the islands, the continents, the hemispheres of grandeur and glory. Men talk as though in this life we only had time to build; but what we build in this life, as compared with what we shall build in the next life, is as a striped shell to Australia. You go Into an architect's study and there you Bee the sketch of a temple, the cornerstone of which has not yet been laid. O, that I could have an architectural sketch of what you will be after eternity has wrought upon you! What pillars of strength! What altars of supernal worship! What pinnacles thrusting their glittering spikes into the sun that never sets! You do not scold the corallines because they cannot build an island in a day. Why should you scold yourself because you cannot complete a temple of holiness for the heart in this short lifetime? You tell me we do not amount to much now, but try us after a thousand million ages of hallelujah. Let us hear the angels chant for a million centuries. Give us an eternity with God, and then see If we do not amount to something. More slowly and marvelously accumulative is the grace in the soul than anything I can think of. "No mention shall be made of coral." Again, I take your hand, and we walk on through this- garden of the sea and look more particularly than we did at the beautyoOSe coral. The poets have all been fascinated with it. One of them wrote: "There, with a broad and easy motion, The fan coral sweeps through the clear deep sea, And the yellow and scarlet tufts of the ocean Are bent like corn on the uplanl lea." One specimen of coral U called the dendrophilia, because it is like a tree; another is called the astrara,-^ecause it is like a star; another is called the brain coral, because it is like the convolutions of the human brain; another is called the fan coral, because it is like the instrument with which you cool yourself on a hot day; another specimen is called the organ pipe coral, because it resembles the king of musical instrument. All the flowers and all the shrubs in the gardens of the land have their correspondencies in this garden of the sea. Corallum! It is a synomym for beauty. And yet there is no beauty in the coral compared with our religion. It gives physiognomic beauty. It does not change the features; it doefa not give features with which the person was not originally endowed, but 1* * i its behind the features of the honulkst person a heaven that shines' cleur through. So that often, on first acquaintance, you said of a man: "He is the homeliest person I ever saw/' when, after you come to understand him and his nobility of soul shining through his countenance, you said: "He is the loveliest person I ever saw." No one ever had a homely Christian mother. Whatever the world may have thought of her, there were *.wo who thought well—your father, who had admired her for fifty years, and you, over whom Bhe bent with so many tender niini8trations. When yon think of the angels of God, and your mother* among them, she outshines them all. ;|bat our young people could un- -that so much beautifies the as the religion r.f ;es everything ul. Slcktment beauutrfut. I ssase pour hand again, and walk a little fnethcr on in this garden of the sen, nad I notice the durabi*«ty of the «f the coral.

Corals are changing the navigation of the sea, saying to the commerce of the world, "Take this channel;" 'take this channel;" "avoid the other channel." Animalcules beating back the Atlantic and the Pacific seas! If the insects of the ocean have built a reef a thousand miles long.who knows but that they may yet build a reef 3,000 miles long, and thus, that by one stone bridge, Europe shall be united with this continent on one side, and by another stone bridge Asia will be united with this continent on the other side; and the tourist of the world, without the turn of a steamer's wheel, or the spread of a ship's sail, may go all around the world, and thus be fulfilled the prophesy, "There shall be no more sea." But the durability of^ the coral's work is not at all to be compared with the durability of our work for God. The coral is going to crumble in the fires of the last day, but our work for God will endure forever,. No more discouraged man ever lived than Beethoven, the great musical composer. Unmercifully criticized by brother artists, and his music sometimes rejected. Deaf for twenty-five years, and forced, on his way to Vienna, to beg food and* lodging at a plain house by the roadside. In the evening the family opened a musical instrument and played and sang with great enthusiasm; and one of the numbers they rendered was so emotional that tears ran down their cheeks while they sang" and played. Beethoven, sitting In the room, too deaf to hear the singing, was curious to know what was the music that ao overpowered them^and when they got through he reached up and took che folio in his hand and found it was his own music—Beethoven'8 Symphony in A—and he cried out, "I wrote that!" The household sat and stood abashed to find that their poor-looking guest was the great composer. But he never left that house alive. A fever seized him that night, and no relief could be afforded, and in a few days he diad. But just before expiring he took the hand of his nephew, who had been sent for and arrived, saying, "After all, Hummel, I must have had some talent." Poor Beethoven! HIB work still lives, and in the twentieth century will be better appreciated than H was in the nineteenth; and as long HI there is on earth an orchestra to play or an oratorio to sing, Beethoven's nine symphonies will be the enchantment of nations.

It Had the Earmark* ^'You don't like my book?" timidly ventured the young author who had invaded the lair of the literary editor for the second time. "No, miss," he said In his gruffest voice. "It's trash! I have been compelled to handle it without gloves, miss." "I—I see It looks like it," faltered the young author, glancing at the volume that lay on the table In front of the terrible editor.—Chicago Tribune. remarkable aboTTFyou—only a mother trying to rear your family for useful-• ness and heaven. Yet the song with which you sing your child to sleep will never cease its mission. You will grow old and die. That son will pass out into the world. The song with which you Bang him to sleep last night will go with him while he lives, a conscious or unconscious restraint and inspiration here, and may help open to him the gate of a glorious and triumphant hereafter. The lullabies of this century will sing through all the centuries. The humblest good accomplished in time will last through eternity. I sometimes get discouraged, as I suppose you do, at the vastneas of the work and at how little we are doing. And yet, do you suppose the rhizopod said, "There is no need of my working! I can not build the Cordilleras." Do you supposeJhje madrepore said: "There is no need of my working; I can not build the Sandwich Islands." Each one attended to his own business; and there are the Sandwich Islands, and there are the Cordilleras. Ah, my friends, the redemption of this world is a great enterprise. I did not see it start; I will not in this world see its close. I am only an insect as compared with the great work to be done, but yet I must do my part. Little things decide great things. All that tremendous career of the last Napoleon hanging on the hand of a brakeman who, on one of our American railways, caught him as he was falling between the cars of a flying train. The battle of Dunbar was decided against the Scotch because their matches had given out. Aggregations of little things that pull down or build up.

A bridge at Anglers, Prance, and a bridge at Broughton, England, went down because the regiment kept step while crossing.

These make the irresistible power to desnoHsfa or to uplift, to destroy or to save. Little causes and great results.

On the docks of the Sagiuaw Salt «fc Lumber Co., at Crow island, three mile* down the river from Saginaw, 8,000,000 feat of lumber were burned, causing a loss of about 9120,000. The docks held about 10,000,000 feet and a iur^e quautity of lumber was piled in the mill yard, which the flames did not reach. The mill and salt block were saved with difficulty. The docks and one drill house wore destroyed. About three-fourths of the loss will be covered by insurance. A watchman discovered the flames at midnight. The origin is unknown, but it is thought skaters dropped matches or started a fire to warm themselves. One fire engine company from Saginaw aud two from Bav City, besides the CarrolIton compauy, reached the scene in about two hours, but in the meautime pail brigades were organized and worked heroically towards keeping the flames from crossing to the mill yard. The wind was not strpng and blew favorably, sending the brands over the river, instead of towards the millions of feet of material and the mills directly in the rear. Several firemen had narrow escapes from being caught in the blazing piles. The company had a 812,000 fire at the same place last April. Two Violent Deaths at Monroe. Two fatal railroad accidents occurred at Monroe in one day. Eli Cooley, a well-known character, was struck by a Michigan Cen tral train and was so badly mangled' that death resulted shortly afterwards.

Cheors Turued to Oroent. After a warm election at London, Out,, a large crowd gathered in the city hall to listen to speeches from the successful candidates, which has long been the local custom. About 2,500 people had crowded their way into the room and there was considerable enthusiasm, which was suddenly interrupted by one of the most terrible calamities in the history of the city. Wrhile a speaker was being applauded a section of the floor in front of tho platform for hhe speakers and immediately above the city engineer's office gave way without warning and fully 100 persons were tumbled into a sort of funnel shaped trap which proved to be a death-trap for over one-fourth of them, for an immense safe and a heavy steam coil, weighing half a ton, toppled over into the hole crushing at least 30 to death and injuring nearly all of the others. Although the platform on which the speakers were standing was apparently the first thing to give away, the mayor-elect and many alderman escaped the death that overtook so many others who followed them into the lower portion of the building. Following the crash there was a wild rush for the doors. At the south door where the majority of the crowd had entered, there was a terrible panic. Those in front were thrown down by the oncoming rush, shrieking and fighting for the doors and safety. Only one-half of the rear door, a space probably of three feet, was open, and in the mad rush no one thought to open the door in its entirety, and jOO people struggled through the narrow space, the strong bearing down the weaker. An investigation of the wreck after the catastrophe disclosed the fact that a whole section of the floor had dropped, the joists having been as neatly cut off as though the work had been done with a saw. The building was an old one, having been erected in the early 50'sr and 6t late years additional stories ha4 been placed on the old walls.

Is Secretarj Sherman About to Resign. The story that Secretary of State Sherman is about to resign, the reasou now alleged—being his enfeebled condition, making it impossible, after a long public career, to give further service to the country, and recognizing the necessity of giving way to a more active man to cope with the numerous important foreign affairs which now confront the United States. It is pointed out that if we annex Hawaii there are certain treaties now existing between that republic and Japan which will have to be declared void in the interests of our manufactures, and on the other hand if the European powers dismember the Chinese empire we shall have to demand that similar treaties which we have with China shall be continued in force. The ticklish part of the business for the McKinley administration is that if China is seized and Hawaii annexed we shall have to deny to Japan the very thing that we shall demand of those who take Ghina. There is no denying that the President will need a secretary of state a good deal younger and more acute than Mr. Sherman to ENGLISH FIRED ON R U S S I A N S .

The London papers publish also the statement that England is pressing China to declare Port Arthur a free port It is supposed that the presence of British warships there is intended to insure freedom of access for trading vessels. It is reported that China has given consent to Russian surveys for a rail way to Port Arthur as i\ branch of tho Russian Trans-Manchuria railway, and not a mere extension of the Chinese Tien-Tain railway. Tho arrangements with Russia for the guarantee loan are actively proceeding, and when completed the Russians on the plea of supervising the collection of the land tux, will obtain the right to enter every yamen in the empire. It is otllcially uunounced from St, Petersburg that M. Kuril Alexeiff has been intrusted with full powers to "promote the development of the commercial relations between Russia and Korea, in competition with British and Japanese influences ahd to aid in furthering tho prompt construction of the projected orthodox church at Seoul." M.

In the meantime Dick Aylmer went on and turned in at the hospitably open gate of Graveleigh Hall, with the assured air of one who knows beforehand what, his welcome would be. "Is Miss Dimsdale at home?" he asked of Barbara, who came to the door in answer to his knock. "I am not sure, sir," Barbara answered. "But she may be in the garden— I'll find out, sir, in a minute." She disappeared again, -leaving him there, and then a man ran out from i h e s i d e - o f the house,- to take the horse's head; and before Barbara appeared again, Dick heard a light footstep on the gravel, and Dorothy herself, wearing a blue dress and a white sailor hat, came into sight. "Oh! Mr. Harris/' she cried, in such a joyous tone that Dick's heart fairly thumped in response. "I had no idea that you were here. I wonder how it was I did not hear the wheels. Come and be introduced to my aunt; she Is here, round this shrubbery—we always sit Here in the hot weather; the sight of the sea helps to keep one cool.

Thirty years ago I had nervous prostration while in the army, where I served for over four years. I think it was during this service that the seeds were sown which have caused all my trouble. Severe bilious attacks bothered me, and at such times my kidneys were worse. It is almost impossible to describe the pain which so often lamed me. I have been so lame that to stand up after f had been sitting down required a great exertion. Walking was at times an impossibility, even at night I did not rest, being forced to get up during the night I heard of Doan's Kidney Pills and wondered if they could make an almost lame man weft. I got some, and soon after taking them began to feel their good effects. I used them for some time, my lameness all left me and I have not felt it since.

Like lightning there flashed through his mind an idea that if Lady Jane had mistaken him for somebody else, she had really no guarantee of bis respectability, and with equal rapidity there shot through his brain a remembrance of his uncle's letter, his uncle's threats and bis uncle's unyielding, unbeodable—yes, I must be honest, and finish up the sentence as Dick thought it—his uncle's unyielding, unbendable, devil of a temper. And so. and crop when you go to call at houses?" Dorothy Inquired demurely, and with a saucy twinkle in her eye. "No, I don't," he replied with a laugh. "But I have known what it was to have a decided cold shoulder, and I didn't want to find It here." "And you have not. I think Auntie has been particularly nice to you," she said, as she opened the door leading into the stable. Dick put his hand out to open the door also, and in doing so just touched hers. "I think," said he, in a dangerously tender tone, which would greatly have enlightened • Miss Dimsdale, "that she is a delightful woman; she is fit to be your aunt;" and then Dorothy laughed a little, and pushed the door open. "See, this is my Lorna Doone," she said, going into the nearest stall, and showing him a ball of white fluff coiled up in a deep bed of hay. "Isn't she lovely?" Dick Aylmer groaned within himself; he had fallen from a paradise of tenderness to the comparative personality of a cat—commonplace even though it was a Persian cat which bore the name of Lorna Doone, and she loved it. It was a beautiful eat without doubt, afld it turned its head back at the sight of Dorothy, and purred loudly, and with evident satisfaction. "I want to know just what you think of her," said Dorothy to Dick— "truly and honestly. Don't flatter me about her. Lorna and I don't like flattery—we want to know the. truth about ourselves—the brutal truth if you will, but truth at any price. Now what do you think of her?" "I can't see her properly," answered Dick. "Lorna dearie, get up and show yourself off," said Dorothy to the cat; then finding that the great white Persian did not move, she turned her out of her bed, and took the four kits into her own lap. • "I think she is lovely," said Dick. "Isn't she an enormous size?" "Immense," Dorothy answered, "and a great beauty too." By this time Dick had begun to tickle Lorna Doone's ear, and that j g d y bftgaJi tn roapnnH aftnr ftrtn mnnner of cats when they are not shy— that is to say, she had put her two forepaws upon his knee as he sat on the bed of hay, and was vigorously • .

Harris. In behavior he was very judicious; he talked more to the aunt than to the niece, although bis eyes followed her wherever she went in a way which told Miss Dimsdale all too plainly what had brought him there. But, judging by his serene and sober conversation with Miss Dimsdatle, you might have thought that Dick was I sixty instead of sdx-and-twenty, and Miss Dimsdale was charmed with him. "Such a thoughtful, sensible fellow," she said to herself as she watched him presently go across the lawn with Dorothy to see her Persian kittens, just at that time the very pride and Joy of her heart. Ay, but men were deceivers ever, sometimes quite unconscious though it be. At that moment Dick was saying to, Dorothy, "And I thought the week would never get over—the very longest week I ever lived." "Then why didn't you come before?" she asked, with innocent audacity. "Ootne before! But you said that I wasnt to come till this weak," he answered. "Besides, I dWnt know—I wasn't sure that I mightn't get bundled out neck and crop wfcea I did] come. Oh no, I dida* want to run] the risk of that." 1 "Do jo* often get bundled ant sack said Barbara, appearing at tfc* door. just at that moment.

She was Quite eosquoared _ by the delightful modesty of hie manner. "You will .generally tad as in about four o'clock, for we are very quiet people, and a few tennis parties or a dance or two are all thai Dorothy Lsees of life. Sometimes I wish that it was different; but old trees, you know," with a smile, "are difficult to transplant." "And Miss Dorothy does not look as if she found life at Graveleigh insupportable," said Dick, with delicate flattery. "No; Dorothy is a good girl," Miss Dimsdale replied in a tender undertone, and then she gave a little sigh which set Dick wondering what it could mean. Well, after this it very soon became an established custom that Dick should find his way over to Graveleigh at least twice in eve'ry week, and sometimes Miss Dimsdale asked him to stay to share their dinner, for she was a woman of very hospitable nature, though she was quiet and somewhat stiff in manner, and a little oldfashioned in her ideas. And although David Stevenson had all her wishes on his^side, she really grew to like Dick thT better of the two, for Dick was gentle and kind in his manner to each and all alike, content to let hie wooing do itself—if the truth between you and me be told, happy in the present, and a little inclined to leave the future to be as long the future as might be because of the terrible old uncle in the background. Then, too, there was always present in his mind the knowledge that, sooner or later, he would have to make a clean breast of his identity to Miss Dimsdale and to . Dorothy, and to cast himself upon their mercy as regards the deception which had really been no fault of his, and to persuade them to consent to a secret marriage. And whenever poor Dick reached this point in his reflections, he invariably gave a groan of utter despair, for he had a dreadful foreboding that never, never would Dorothy's aunt give even the most reluctant consent to anything of the kind. So the sweet autumn days skipped _ WASTE YOUR LOVE ON A CAT. rubbing her cheeks, first one side and over—September died and October was born, lived its alloted time, and in turn passed away, and wintry November came in. The last tinted leaves fell from the trees of the great,oaks and horse chestnuts, and the tall poplars which shrouded the hall were now but gaunt and shivering skeletons, only a memory of their old luxuriance and I glory. But to Dorothy Strode the bare and leafless trees were more beautiful than they were either in their summer gowns of green or in all the manybthsd loveliness of their "*rm«ii frocks, for to Dorothy all tne world was lighted and beautined by the warmth and fire of radiant love—better to her the leafless branches of November with love than the fairest blooms of springtime into which love had not yet come. During this autumn she had seen but little of her old admirer, David Stevenson. He had gone to the Hall once or twice after he knew that "the man from Colchester" had become a frequent visitor there—gone with a savage asserti* t .of his rights as an old friend and a Ufa-long intimate of then the other, against his hand. "She has taken to you," cried Dorothy gladly. "Of course she has; Lorna Doone knows a good thing when she sees it," he answered, laughing. "Besides, why shouldn't she take to me?" "Some people don't like oats," said Dorothy, "especially men." She had not forgotten how, the very last time he was in the house, David Stevenson had kicked her favorite out of his w&y, not brutally or to hurt her—for David, whatever his faults, was not a brute—'but because he was so jealous of Dorothy that he could not endure to see her care for anything. "How can you waste your love on a brute of a cat?" he had burst out, when Dorothy had caught up Lorna and held her to her cheek. "Some men bate cats—a man who comes here sometimes loathes her," she said to Dick, and Dick knew by a sort of instinct who the "some one" "Ob, some men are cross-grained enough for anything," he said goodnaturedly— he could afford to be goodnatured, for he had realised what this glri's real feelings for "some one" were. "For my part, I must say I've got a liking for a eat, hut I should baldly class a beauty like this with ordinary cats. She is not only a beautar ta took at, but ahe is evidently afssetfeaate, aed—and—and she's yours, know." T h e tea is waiting. Miss Dorothy," the house. But when he found that Miss Dimsdale had, as he put it, "gone over to the enemy," he gave up even that much intercourse, and gave all his energies to his farming, content, as he told himself, to bide hie time. At last about the middle of November when half the officers of the regiment were on leave, and soldiering and Colchester alike were as flat and dull as ditch water, Dick Aylmer got into his dog-cart and turned the horse's head toward the big gates. "Hullo, Ddckr called out a brother officer to him, "where are you going?** "Oh, a drive," returned Dick promptly. , "Oh, a drive;" repeated the other, noting the evasion instantly—trust a soldier for that. "Got any room for a fellow?" "Take you as far as the town ff you like," said Dick good-naturedlj. "No, never mind," answered the othtr. "I'll walk down with Snocks presently."' "Didn't want a lift, you know,** he explained io Snooks, who hi polite society was known as Lord William Veryl, "but I did want to and out where old Dick was going.

MUNSON -I Mr. Chairman and Ladies and Gentleman: When I urged upon your secretary the propriety of giving you a "One Day Institute," it was from pure good will, hoping for you something far better than I can give you and trusting to arouse in you such an interest as should result in a larger attendance on the County Institute which comes later and it was only on his urgent appeal that I consented to appear before yon. I have always had a jjreat respect for the people of Pinckney. Coming north from Dexter 41 years ago through the woods and over the Portage when it was not at its best, a glimpse of your beautiful village was reassuring. I have reason for diffidence in coming before a gatheiing of farmers from this vicinity. When, in verance and intellect of the German, the devotion to prinoiple of the Puritan and the bull-dog determination and euergy of the English, we have a conglomeration which ought to produce an ideal American—let us then look well to environment.

Public sentiment will, in most cases, control these things and as I believe in local option for the liquor traffic, so I believe in keeping our children where we can make our own influence felt Let us stand by our district school.

What«better proof do we need than the annual hegira from the cities during the heated term to save the lives of the innocents? Here the natural foods for children, milk, man among them all. This may illustrate the effect of speoial training. How often have we seen M. D's. who kuew nothing else* Preachers who gave ns narrow theology in very bad English.

He was also interested in horses, but the only thing he knew about them was to see them go. To the farmer he urged them to be united, as in the 16th century the people were united so as to be a power back of the throne. The Lord must love the farmer for there were so many of them and they1 must be respected.

Two policemen in Boston are hard at work trying to prevent the students of a medical school and those of a young ladies' seminary from looking at each other. The schools are close together and the students are let out at the same time every day. If the plan worked the young persons would be less or more than human. It won't.

The German minister demanded his release and a payment of fifty thousand dollars indemnity. The man was set free, but Hayti is unwilling to pay indemnity. Germany threatened to send a cruiser to press her claim; at the remonstrance of our government she abandoned her purpose. The gluttony of the people who flock to public receptions in Washington with less decorum than is usually preserved in front of the barkeeper's walnut has provoked retaliation. The ladies of the cabinet announce that refreshments will no longer be served. The households of the cabinet members will no longer be embraced In a free lunch route. Thus will end scenes which have been a disgrace to the capital of the country for a great many years and an intolerable nuisance will be abolished. The diabolical assassination of William Terrlss, the distinguished British actor, by a worthless crank with a homicidal mania, brings up before us again and in a most urgent form the question of dealing with this class of pests. There is no law for punishing or even locking up a crank, no matter how dangerous he may notoriously be. Justice waits until he commits murder, and then offers to society the beggardly reparation of the gallows. The j e r i l is one which the individual must meet for himself. Government avenges him only after he has been slain and hie family desolated. .? Yonder is a beautiful village homestead. The man of the house is dead, and his widow is taking charge of the premises. This is the widow, Martha of Bethany. Yes, I will show you also the pet of the household. This la Mary, the younger sister, with a book under her arm, and her face having no appearance of anxiety or care. Company has come. Christ stands outside the door, and, of course, there is a good deal of excitement inside the door. The disarranged furniture is hastily put aside, and the hair is brushed back, and the dresses are adjusted as well as, in so short a time, Mary and Martha can attend to these matters. They did not keep Christ standing at the door until they were newly apparelled, or until they had elaborately arranged their tresses, then coming out with their affected surprise as though they had not heard the two or three previous knockings, saying: "Why, is that you?" No. They were ladies, and were always presentable, although they may not have^ always had on their best, for none of us always has on our best; if we did, our best would not be worth having on. They throw open the door, and greet Christ. They say: "Good-morning, did not come alone; He had a group of friends with him, and such an influx of city visitors would throw any country home into perturbation. I suppose also the walk from the city had been a good appetizer. The kitchen department that day WAS a very important department, and I .suppose that Martha had no sooner greeted the guests than she fled to that room. Mary had no worriment about household affairs. She had full confidence that Martha could get up the best dinner in Bethany. She seems to say: "Now let us have a division of labor, -Martha, you ^cook, and I'll sit down and be good." So you have often seen a great difference between two sisters. There is Martha, hard-working, painstaking, a good manager, ever inventive of some new pastry, or discovering something in the art of cookery and housekeeping. There is Mary, also fond of conversation, literary, so engaged in deep questions of ethics she has no time to attend to the questions of household welfare. It Is noon. Mary is in the parlor with Christ. Martha is in the kitchen.

You go out to the cemetery and you will see that the tombstones all read beauthe poison and died, we all we would like to put garlands on his grave; everybody appreciates that. When, in the burning hotel at St. Louis, a young man on the fifth story broke open the door of the room where his mother was sleeping, and plunged in amid smoke and fire, crying, "Mother, where are you?" and never came tifully poetic; but if those tombstones | out, our hearts applauded that young thousands of i man.

The advertiser promises to give valuable prices to persons sending him accurate solutions of a collection of "puzzles," of which the subjoined is a fair sample: "Supply the missing letters in the following name of an important New England city—B-st-n." It is said .that the people have been swindled out of a sum of money large in ' the aggregate through this transparent fraud. Periodicals will henceforth publish such advertisements at the risk of being excluded from the malls. A short cut to notoriety has been effected by a woman of Paris who con trlbuted and collected ten thousand francs toward the Guy de Maupassant monument, recently unveiled in the Pare Monceau, on the condition that her own portrait be introduced. The ludicrous result, the figure of a fashionably dressed woman reclining in a long chair at the foot of a bust of the poet, is characterized by a writer in a London newspaper as "an advertisement in marble for some leading dressmaker." Human vanity takes many forms and some persons choose to bask in the world's gaze, even at the expense of self-respect or of life itself. have been better if they had divided the work, and then they could have divided the opportunity of listening to Jesus; but Mary monopolizes Christ, while Martha swelters at the fire. It was a very Important thing that they should have a good dinner that day. Christ was hungry, and he did not often have a luxurious entertainment. Alas me! if the duty had devolved upon Mary, what a repast that would have been! But something went wrong in the kitchen. Perhaps the fire would not burn, or the bread would not bake, or Martha scalded her hand, or something was burned black that ought to have been made brown; and Martha lost her patience, and forgetting the proprieties of the occasion, with besweated brow, and perhaps with pitcher in one hand and tongs in the other, she rushes out of the kitchen lnto the presence—of—Christ,—saying: would speak the truth, them would aay: "Here lies a woman killed by too much mending, and sewing, aud baking, and scrubbing, and scouring; the weapon with which she was slain was a broom, or a sewing machine, or a ladle." You think, 0 man of the world! that you have all the cares and anxieties. If the cares and anxieties of the household should come upon you for one week, you would be fit for the insane asylum. The halfrested housekeeper arises in the morning, he must have the morning repast prepared at an irrevocable hour. What if the fire will not iight; what if the marketing did not come; what if the clock has stopped—no matter, she must have the morning repast at an irrevocable hour. Then the children must be got off to school. What if their garments are torn; what if they do not know their lessons; what? If they have lost a hat or sash—they must be ready. Then you have all the diet of the day, and perhaps of several days, to plan; but what if the butcher has sent meat unmastlcable, or the grocer has sent articles of food adulterated, and what if some piece of silver be gone, or some favorite chalice be cracked, or the roof leak, or the plumbing fail, or any one of a thousand things occur—you must be ready, pring weather comes, and there must be a revolution in the fambe ready. Spring weather comes, and you must shut out the northern blast; but what If the moth has preceded you to the chest; what if, during the year, the child^n have outgrown the apparel of last year; what if the fashions have changed. Your house must be an apothecary's shop; it must be a dispensary; there must be medicines for all sorts of ailments—something to loosen the eroup, something to cool the burn, something to poultice the inflammation, something to silence the jumping tooth, something to soothe the earache. You must be in ualf a dozen places at the same time, or you must attempt to be. If, under all this wear and tear of Hf>, Martha, makes an im- Chrlstllke spirit—a willingness to suffer for others! A rough teacher in a school called upon a poor, half starved lad who had offended against the laws of the school and said, "Take off your coat, directly, sir." The boy refused to take it off, whereupon the teachar said again, "Take off your coat, sir," as he swung the whip through the air. The boy refused. It was not because he was afraid of the lash—he was used to that at home—but it was from shame—he had no undergarment^ and as at the third command he pull 3d slowly off his coat, there went a sob through the school. They saw then why he did not want to remove his coat, and they saw the shoulder blad23 had almost cut through the skin, ami a stout, healthy boy rose up and went to the teacher of the school and said: "Oh, sir, please don't hurt this poor reliow; whip" me] fiee^ he*s nothring but a poor chap; don't hurt him. he's poor; whip me." "Well," said the teacher, "it's going to be a severe whipping; I am willing to take you as a substitute." "Well," said the boy, "I don't care; you whip me, if you will let this poor fellow go." The fstout, healthy boy took the scourging without an outcry. "Bravo!" says every man—"Bravo!" How many of us ar^o willing to take the scourging, and the suffering, and the toil, and the anxiety for the people! Beautiful things to admire, but how little we have of that Bpirit! God give us that selfdenying spirit, so that whether we are in humble spheres or in conspiciir ous spheres we may perform our whole duty—for this struggle will soon bo over. One of the most affecting reminiscences of my mother is my remembrance of her as a Christian housekeeper. She worked very hard, aud when we would come in from summer play, and sit down at the table at noon, I remember how she used to come in with beads of perspiration along the line of erav hair, and how sometimes T H E CURRENCY COM M l d » I Q N ' t ) Beport Embodied la a Bill l«t*»duee6 In th« House of Bepveeent»tlvee> Rgp. Ovuratr^et, of Indiana, has introduced in the House a eomprehenj «ive bill for carrying out the plan of the monetary commission for the reform of the currency. The bill was referred by Speaker Reed to tho committee on banking, and Chairman Walker has arranged to give early hearings to Senator Ednnnds, the chairman of the commission, and perhaps to other members. The bill contains forty-aeveri~sectlons and embodies in legislative form every feature of the recommendations of the commission. The earlier portion relating to the maintenance of the gold standard, the creation of the bureau of issue and redemption, and the gradual retirement of the legaltender notes are embodied in the bill In almost the same language as in the report. The section dealing with the guaranty fund is as follows: "That every national banking association shall at all times keep and have on deposit with the division,of issue and redemption for the purpose hereinafter specified a sum in gold coin equal to 5 per centum of its outstanding circulation. Tho amounts so kept on deposit shall constitute a fund to be known as 'the bank-note guaranty fund.' " The provision for the assessment of the tax upon the circulation above the authorized limit is as follows: "That every national banking association shall pay on or before the last day of every month to the division of issue and redemption a duty imposed.* at the rate of 2 per cent per annum upon Two farmers were once discussing their local paper. One thought it had too many advertisements in it. The other replied: "In my opinion the advertisements are far from being the least valuable part of it. I look them over carefully and save at least five times the cost of the paper each week through the business advantages I get from them," said the other: "I believe you are right—I know that they pay me well and rather think it is not good taste to find fault with the advertisements after all. It pays any man with a family to take a good local paper for the afcke of the advertisements if nothing more? And if business men fail to give farmers a' chance to read advertisements in the local paper, they are blind to their own Interests, to say the least of It "You never trade with me/' said a business man to a prosperous farmer. "You have never invited me to your place of business and I never go where I am not invited; I gjftjfct not be welcome," was his reply. "Lord, dost Thou notv care that my sister hath left me to serve alone?" Christ scolded not a word. If it were scolding, I should rather have his scolding than anybody else's blessing. There was nothing acerb. He knew Martha had almost worked herself to death to get him something to eat, and so he throws a world of tenderness into his intonation as he seems to say: "My dear woman, do not worry; let the dinner go; sit down on this ottoman beside Mary, your younger sister. Martha, Martha, thou art careful and troubled about many things, but one thing is needful." As Martha throws open that kitchen door I look in and see a great many household perplexities and" anxieties. First, there is the trial of non-appreciation. That is what made Martha so mad with Mary. The younger sister had no estimate of her older sister's fatigues. As now, men bothered with the anxieties of the store, and office, and shop, or coming from the StockExchange, say when they get home: "Oh, you ought to be in our factory a little while; you ought to have to manage eight, or ten, or twenty subordinates, and then you would know what trouble and anxiety are*" Oh, sir, the wife and the mother has to conduct at the same time a university, a clothing establishment, a restaurant, a laundry, a library, while she is health officer, police, and president of her realm* She must do a thousand things, and do them well, in order to keep thing! going smoothly; and so her brain and her nerves are taxed to the utmost. I know there are housekeepers who patient rush upon the library or drawing- rooifl, be patient, be Lenlenfl Oh, woman, though I may fall to stir up an appreciation in the souls of others in regard to your household toils, let me assure you, from the kindliness with which Jesus Christ met Martha, that he appreciates all your work from garret to cellar; and that the God of Deborah, and Hannah, and Abigail, and Grandmother Lois, and Elizabeth Fry, and Hannah More is the God o.f the housekeeper! Jesus was never married, that he might be the especial friend and confidant of a whole world of troubled womanhood. I blunder; Christ was married. The Bible says that the Church is the Lamb's wife, and that makes me know that all Christian women have a right to go to Chrlat and tell him of their annoyances and troubles, since by his oath -of-cimjugal fidelity he is sworn to sympathize. George Herbert, the Christian poot, wrote two or three verses Qn this subject: "The servant by this clause Makes drudgery divine: Who sweeps a room, as for Thy laws, Makes this the action fine." A young woman of brilliant education and prosperous circumstances was called down-stairs to help in the kitchen in the absence of the servants. Th« door-bell (Tinging, she went to open it and foundNa gentleman friend, wtfb said as he came in: "I thought I heard music; was it on this piano or on this harp?" She answered: "No; I was playing on a grid-iron, with frying-pan accompaniment. The servanfs are gone, and I am learning how to do this work." Well done! When will women in all circles find out that it is honorable to do anything that ought to be Jone? • • • How great are the responsibilities of housekeepers! Sometimes an indigestible article of food, by its effect upon a king, has overthrown an empire. A distinguished statistician says* of one thousand unmarried men there arc thirty-eight criminals, and of one thousand married men only eighteen are criminals. What a suggestion of home influences! Let the most bf made of them. Housekeepers by the food they provide, by the couches they spread, by the books they introduce, by the influences they bring around their home, are deciding the physical, intellectual, moral, eternal destiny of the she would sit down at the table and put her head against her wrinkled hand and say, "Well, the fact ia, I'm too tired to eat." Long after she might have delegated this duty to others, she would not be satisfied unless she attended to the matter herself. In fact we all preferred to have her do so, for somehow things tasted better when she prepared them. Some time ago, in an express train, I shot past that old homestead. I looked out of the window, and tried to peer through the darkness. While I was doing so, one of my old schoolmates, whom I had not seen for many years, tapped me on the shoulder, and said, "De Witt, I see you are looking out at the scenes of your boyhood." "Oh, yes," I replied, "I was looking out at the old place where my mother lived and died." That night, in the cars, the whole scene came back to me.—There was the average daily amount of its circulating notes outstanding in excess of l>0 per centum of its capital stock, and not in excess of 80 per centum of such «apital stock." Section 34' of the bill provides for redemption of notes in multiples of 11,000 in lawful money, upon presentation at the treasury or subtreasuries designated for redemption purposes, but it is provided that "nothing in (this act contained shall bq construed to impose upon the United States any liability for thsV redemption of the notes of any national banking association beyond the proper application of the redemption and guaranty funds deposited with the. division of issue and redemption, and the enforcement of the remedies by this act provided." Section 37 authorizes the establishment of banks with a capital of |25,- 000 in towns not exceeding 4,000 inhabitants, and section 38 declares "that It shall be lawful for any national banking association to establish branches under such rules and regulations as may be prescribed by the comptroller of the currency, with the approval of the secretary of the the country home. There was the noonday table.. There were the children on either side of the table, most of them gone never to come back. At one end of the table, my father, with a smile that never left his countenance even when he lay in his coffin. It was an eighty-four years' smile—not the smile of Inanition, but of Christian courage and of Chrjstian hope. At the other end of the table was a beautiful, benignant, hard-working, aged Christian housekeeper, my mother. She was very tired. I am glad she has so good a place to rest in. "Blessed • are the dead who die in the Lord; they rest from their labors, and their works do follow them." • treasury." Section 41 provides for at least two examinations of national banks each year, for the rotation of examiners and for fixed salaries for examiners. The amount of the salaries is to be collected by assessments upon the banks. Provision is made for the entry of state banks into the new system. M I S C E L L A N E O U S .

Tbe opening session of the Ohio state legislature w a s marked by t h e first battle for the U. 8. senator ship to succeed Hon. M. A. Hanna, who, as is known to all, JH the principal candidate. The revolt against the chairman of the national Republican committee— which became so apparent in the state election last November—came boldly to the front in the organizing of the legislature. The Hanna candidate for speaker of the house was Alexander Uoxwell, against whom the antis—led by Gov. Dushnell, Mayor McKisson, of Cleveland, and Hon. Chas. L. Kurtz—put up Rep. H. C. Mason. In the hall cf the house the wildest scenes were witnessed during the first hour of the session. All of the 10'J members were in their seats. As the ballot proceeded there were loud cheers as the doubtful members responded to their names, and when the roll call approached the close and Mason secured the necessary majority, there was a long demonstration that delayed the official announcement of the vote. The ballot resulted: Mason 5ti, Boxwell 52. The antl-Hanna combine then completed the organization of the house, electing John P. Griffith speaker pro tern, and Chas. H. Gerrish chief clerk. The remainder of the preliminary business was trans* acted without much trouble. In the senate the Hanna Republicans felt sore. One of the first things to be considered was the appointment of a joint committee on arrangements for the inauguration of the governor. When this joint resolution came up in the senate, the Hanna Republican senators declined to vote on account of the4r-opposi ti on-te-Gov-r-Btwrmeth—The" resolution was adopted by the Democratic side of the senate chamber, assisted by Senators Shepard and Weightman, Republicans, and Senator Voigt; fusionist. This action of the senate caused quite a stir about the state house. In the senate the combine controlled everything on all votes, but no test votes were taken in the house after the organization was completed. The feeling .that had been engendered in the preliminary conference waa shown in all roll-calls. The feeling on the Republicans sides of both houses was intense. Senator Garfield was clerk of the senate till it was organized, and he was very emphatic in his utterances. The result of the organization of the legislature again revived the rumors that the Hanna men would now combine with the gold Democrats for the election of Calvin S. Brice as a gold 'standard man, rather than have Bushnell and McKisson elected for the long and short terms as silver Republicans. This is denied by Hanna men, however, who claim that there are yet battles to be fought and won and they felt that by the tim_' for holding the joint senatorial oauou»u» and the joint balloting for senator the voice of the Republicans throujrhout the state rising in protest itgainst the combine would cause cnouarh of the opposition to come over to the Hanna standard to insure his re-election to the senate. They at once carried the war into the home counties of the '"bolters."' While the battle wages fiercely there are charges and countercharges from the opposing factions. The most sensational, probably, was the charge Of attempts of the Hannaites to bribe three legislators—two Democrats and one Republican—to vote for Hanna and it was alleged that the Franklin county jury would investigate. Rep. Griffith, of Union county, created a sensation by deserting the Hanna ranks alleging that his wife had been insulted by Mr. Hanna's lieutenants. It is alleged that Griffith has been threatened with violence by his townspeople. The sixtieth anniversary of the pope's first cele bration of mass was observed at the Vatican.

Pingree and Hli Lieutenant* Hold a Conference on the {Jueatlon of Calling * • Kxtr» Session of Legislature —Well-Known Editor Dead. Will There be a Special Session? A lengthy conference of Gov. Pingree's intimate political friends from all parte of the state was held at the governor's home at Detroit to discuss a number of matters of importance to the conferees and the state in general. The matter of greatest moment, however, was the question of the advisability of calling a special session of the state legislature to consider railroad taxation and other subjects. It is a question in the public mind whether or not it was decided to call a special session. Before the close of the conference it was agreed that whatever iuformation there was to be furnished as to the result of the deliberations should be sriveu out by Gov. Pingree himself. Thereupon the governor informed the reporters that the matter was still undecided. This did not satisfy and it is said that some of the conferees stated positively that a special session would be called about Feb. 1, although a number of those present very strenuously opposed it. Their argument was that nothing would be accomplished toward reducing railroad fares, and that the governor's administrataion would then be —blamed all over the state for aaddl upon the community the expense of the extra session, without bringing about any reforms. The governor, however, had prepared statistics to prove that the special session would not cost more than 815,000 and that it might be the means of adding at least $500,000 to the state's annual revenue. This he argued was a mighty good return for the investment. It is the governor's idea to devote the session to not more than two measures— one to establish a uniform system of taxation for all quasi-public corporations, and for all property if possible, and the other to enact a law Establishing a straight 2-cent rate of fare on the railroads of the state. The bills have already been outlined, nothing remaining to do but to hammer them into shape. The extra session advocates used to good advantage the argument that ' there being no local legislation to be considered there would be no occasion for trading votes and consequently the line would be plaiuly drawn between those who want "reform" and those who do not. Others 61 the conferees cTalm thai the special session idea was defeated, but say that it was decided instead to institute a campaign for a reform legislature that will inaugurate the multitude of Pingree reforms next winter. The campaign will start at once and conclude with the election next November. T uiy • - U4J' Michigan Millers Will A)d Cuban*. The Michigan Millers' association in session at Lansing voted to send a carload of flour to the starving Cubans. In his address President Win. N. Rower of Grand Rapids, congratulated the members upon the improved conditions., of business. He predicted an increased demand for Michigan milling products, basing his prediction upon the light, stocks of flour, the strong foreign demand, and the fact that both in acreage and condition a big crop of wheat is promised this year for the state. He deplored the fact that flour in some states is being adulterated with corn meal and corn starch, and said that the association must put its foot upon the iniquitous practice, and, if neccessary, secure the enactment of laws against i t Secretary Hanshue reported that the association has shipped outside the state during the year just closed 461,028 barrels of flour and 14,503 tons of feed. On this basis the millers of the state, it was said, have shipped 1,250,000 barrels of flour during the year. Twentytwo new members have been received into the association, making a total membership of 125. The following officers were elected: President, Win, N. Rowe, of Grand Rapids; vice-president, G. F. Alliuendinger, of Ann Arbor; secretary-treasurer, J. J. Ilanshue, of Lansing; executive committee, Ev Chappel, of Belding; W. H. Deubel, of Ypsilanti, and R. J. Hamilton, of White Pigeon. Several important papers were read and addresses made by members of the association and visitors, among the latter being U. S. Senator Burrows and Railroad Commissioner Wessellius. In case of a special session of the legislature, Senator 0. D. Hughes, of Lansing, was appointed to look after legislation affecting millers' interests. The next annual meeting will be held in Ann Arbor. New Michigan Postmasters. New Michigan postmasters: Grayling, Melvina Bates; Ludington, Wm. G. Hudson; Albion, Frank L. Irwin; Manistee, Calvin A.

Sugar Beet* and Coil Cause a Boom. Saginaw and Bay counties are apparently on the merge of a boom such as has not been known since the palmiest days of the lumber industry. The finding of what are evidently vast beds of coal in both counties has lead to scores of test holes being put down in all directions and it is said that there have been no disappointments thus far. This is causing companies to be formed for the purpose mining the coal on a large scale and one Saginaw company has secured leases of over 1.000 acres of promising territory, and one expert miner from Ohio has advised the capitalists to lease 25,000 aeiesthe coal sharks get ahold on it. In fact operators from Ohio and Pennsylvania are already investigating preparatory to taking up large leases. The J. H. Somers Coal Co. of Cleveland, which handles 4,000,000 tons annually in Ohio, has secured a large tract of land near St. Charles and is putting down a shaft The Monitor and other mines about Kawkawlin, Bay county, which have been good pcoducers, have shown the greM worth of the finds there and prices on land have advanced considerable. The result of experiments in sugar beet culture and the plans to erect a large factory at Esserxville, a Bay City suburb, has also caused the farmers to feel good-natured. Essexville property has taken a big jump in value. — — « > — • — JLet Michigan Help Relieve the Cntmaa. Gov. Pingree has received a telegram dated from New York, signed by Stephens M. Barton, chairman. It »ads: "The central Cuban relief committee appointed by President McKinley, urges upon your excellency tbe Immediate formation of efficient committees for the collection of funds, food, clothing and medicines in your atate far Cuba's starving people, to be transmitted free by this committee to Oonsul-Oeneral Lee at Havana." The governor promptly decided to name Allan Shelden, of Detroit, as eh airman of the Michigan committee and other parts of the state will be represented. The governor urges all who can to contribute to this cause promptly, U> the best of their ability and as God has prospered them. Rifle Practice for the M. N. G.

The storm came* up suddenly from the southwest and in a moment a large portion of the city wus in ruins. Homes were wrecked by the score and hundreds of people were loft without food or shelter.

From there it spread out over the whole city, dipping down aud scattering destruction here and there. There is a rise in the city toward the east to meet the nills on that side, and most of the dam : re to property and loss of life was through that seption. The tornado crossed the Pitou river and swept through the national cemetery, laying low the walls and demolishing the residence of R. G. Baldwin. Its path was about 200 yards wide. After leaving Fort Smith the tornado veered over and touched at Alma, a village of f>00 inhabitants, about nine miles northeast, causing considerable damage and some loss of life. Murk Ilauna Elected V. H. Senator. Th.e Ohio state legislature has 'finished a battle which attracted the at- -.te ii I ion of tile whole nation, iu the election of Hon. Marcus A. lianna as United States senator for both the short and long terms. There was much uncertainty as to the outcome of the contest down to the moment of taking tlie votes ^in the senate and house and in the joint session. The two weeks preceding had been a season of hard work for Hanua's friends and tor his enemies, and each day brought forth its sensations, with charges and countercharges, and the result was an exceedingly close vote. When the vote was taken in the senate and house-separately Mr. Hanna had 10 votes in senate against 17 for Mayor McKisson, of Cleveland, upon whom the Anti-Hannaites united, while in the house the vote stood Hanna 50; McKisson 40; Wiley 1; Warner 1; Lenz 1, and one absent. This gave Hanna 73, a majority of one over all in a total membership of 109 sion Hanna received the same vote, 73: McKisson 70. Lenz 1, absent one.

Yet when he drew up In front of the Hall It struck him that there was something strange about the place. For one thing, the usual neat and well-kept gravel was cut up, and in one place the low box-hedge which skirted the now empty flower beds was cut and crushed as if a careless driver had driven over it. * He was not long left in doubt. Old Adam came to take his horse and led him off to the stable, shaking his head with ominous sadness, and muttering something indistinctly .about a bad job; and then Barbara opened the door with scared, white face, and quivering lips which could not command themselves sufficiently to tell him anything. •'GoodGod, what is ft?" exclaimed" Dick; his thoughts flying straightway to Dorothy. But it was not Dorothy, for in two minutes she came running into the room, tried to speak, and then, scared and trembling and sobbing, she found herself somehow or other In his arms. Dick was almost beside himself with anxiety, but he soothed her tenderly, and patted her shoulder with a gentle, "There, there, darling, don't cry like that. What is it, dear? Tell me." But for a little time Dorothy simply could not tell him. "I've been longing for you to come," she said at last. Oh, poor Auntie! and she is ail I have In the world—in the world." "But is she ill?" asked he. "Remember that I know nothing." "But you got my telegram," she eaid, ceasing her sobs to look at him. "Your telegram? No! What telegram?"

"Well, scarcely," said Dick, half smiling at his own knowledge. "But about your aunt—is she ill?" , Dorothy's tears broke out afresh. "She is dying—dying," she sobbed. "The doctor says there is no hope—no hope whatever." "But tell me all about it," lie urged. "What is the matter with her? She was all right yesterday afternoon when I left. It must have been very suddden. Was it a fit?" "Paralysis," answered Dorothy mournfully. "We were just going to bed, and Auntie got up, and ail at once she said, 'I feel so strange, Dorothy; fetch Barbara;' and when I came back a minute afterward she had slipped down on the floor by the sofa there and could hardly speak. We pot a pillow under her head, and got Adam up, and Adam drove into Dovercourt and brought the doctor out as fast as he could; but An::tie did not know him at aJL And as s.->or. as he ca.me in, Barfcara ^pri 1 IJKPW it was aH over with her, for ho shoo'•: his head, and said, 'We h-su: vctter go. her to bed.

"Mi3s Dimsdale, don't you know me, Dick Harris?" For a moment there waa a deathlike silence, then the dying woman muttered, "Dorothy—girl—alone." ^"You are troubling aJbout Dorothy," said Dick, slowly and clearly, "and I have something to tell you about Dorothy. Can you hear me? Cannot you make me some sign that you hear me? Can you move your hand?" But no, the hand remained perfectly still, still and cold, as if it were dead already. "Can you make me no Bign that you hear me?" Dick urged. "I must tell you this about Dorothy. It will make you quite easy in your mind about her." Still she did not move or speak, but after a moment or so her eyes slowly opened and she looked at him. "I see that you hear me and know me," said Dick. "You are troubling to know wfoat will happen to Dorothy if you should die in this lllneas. .Is that It?" "Yes." She had managed to speak intelligibly at last, and Dick pressed the cold, nerveless hand still covered by his own. "I want to marry Dorothy at once," he said very clearly and gently.

So Dorothy took him up to the large darkened room where the mistress cf the house lay dying. Barbara, nllrd { with griaf and dismay, sat keeping watch bealde her, and ahe stared with surprise to see Dorothy come in, followed by the tall soldier, who entered with a soft tread and went up to the bed, where he stood tor a mo- BMBt watching the dying w o a a a , and ttstanlng to the incoherent, momhling words that fell from her lips. "Dorothy—- little girl—no one—aione— ah!—'* gad then a long slgH, enough DO YOU KNOW ME? BiiLyou will be quite satisfied to know that she is safe with w', won't you?" There was another silence; then the poor tied tongue tried to speak, tried again, and at last mumbled something which the three listeners knew was, "Bless you." 'Auntie, auntie," sobbed Dorothy, In an agony, "say, one word to me—to me and poor Barbara, do." The dying eyes turned toward the faithful servp.ut, and a flickering smile passed aero' a the worn, gray face. "Old friends, she said more clearly then she had yet spoken. "Very hri^py, ana tne eyes turned toward Dick. "An;;: :e!" cried Dorothy. "My littc girl," said the dying warnnn, almost clearly now. "My dear, '.r);id cl.ild. I urn Quite h?.ppy."

Hie. news spread quickly through tha neighborhood, and every few minutes inquirers came to the door to hoar the details from Barbara and ask kindly for Dorothy. And about nooa, by the time Dorothy had dragged herself oat of bed and was sitting miserably beside the drawing-room Are, David Stevenson rode along the avenue anu told Barbara that he wanted to see MlflB Dorothy. "Mias Dorothy la very poorly and upset, air," said Barbara, wbo had a sort of instinct that Dorothy would rather not see this particular visitor. "Yee, but I must see her all the same," said David, curtly. "Wfcere is she?" "In the drawing-room, sir," said Barbara. "But I don't think I can let you go in without asking Miss Dorothy— I—" "Do you know," asked David, with exasperating calmness, "that I am Miss Dimsdale's sole executor? No, I thought not. Then you will understand now, perhaps, that it is necessary that I should see her—to find out her wishes with regard to the funeral for one thing, and to give hex authority to have her black frocks made for another;" and then, poor Barbara having shrunk away scared and trembling from this new and strange David Stevenson, whom she did not seem to know at all, he went straight *o the drawing-room, going in and shutting the door behind him. Dorothy jumped up with a cry almost of alarm when she saw who had thus entered. "There," said he, coldly, motioning her ba«k to her chair, "don't be afraid; I shall not hurt you," and then he got himself a chair and set It a little way from hers. "I was obliged to come and see you at once, Dorothy," he said, in a cold and formal way, "because your poor aunt made me the sole executor under her will. But.first let me say how very, very sorry I am that I have to come like this. I have known Miss Dimsdale all my life, and loved her always." Dorothy had softened a little at this, and before he had ended his sentence began to cry piteouely. David Steveneon went on: "I don't want to speak about the reason why she left me in charge of everything," he said—"at least, not just now. Of course, she thought that everything would be very different with us. And then, too, she was a good deal mixed up with me in business matters, and I believe she wished that the outside world should know aa little of her affairs as possible. Now, Dorothy, it shall be as you wish; r will either simply hear your wishes about the funeral and the mourning and all that, and tell you how your affairs stand by-aad-by, or I will tell you now, whichever you like." "I would rather know the w o n t now," said Dorothy, in a very low voice. She knew from his manner that he had no comforting news -to tell her. "Then I will ten you," said he, in a. strained tone; "and first I must aak you, did Miss Dhnsdale ever tell you that she had great losses during the past two years?" "Losses!" cried Dorothy, with open eyes. "No; I don*t know what, you mean." "I feared not. Well, ahe had several terrible losses of money, and—and, to cut a long story short, Dorothy, I ad- . - — : „ _ ICK ,'r, ,;*•'*•"$> Gravelt'in-h CI-IAPTHR VTI. stayed at Hall :mii the end came. after which he -.j^i bade Dorothy go to put and to Col- J\ ili *•"**"»*•«•*". which he • •'ill! rebelled in time for Lhe day's duty, being orderly officer for the day.

Meanwhile, will you and nothing of the engagevanced her several large sums on—on the security of this property." "Then this—go on," said Dorothy. "At that time Miss Dlmadaie and I both thought that everything would be different between you and me, and, in fact, that I waa but advancing money to you. We thought that the world—our little world here, I m e a n - would never know anything about it, and she was obliged to seU she ffnTt to somebody.

No millennium Impending, but jolly, good feeling on tap. Girls all know that the most persistent suitor for the waltz numbers is the very fellow they don't want. For our part we prefer a sitting-down waltz, anyhow. One of those waltz-at-ease movements where you both get away in some quiet corner, sit down side by side, you slip your arm around the girl and sit there and have your waltz out. The girl here has the power of selection. The punishment of a cartoon publisher and several other German citizens for disrespect to tha kaiser is evidence that his majesty has a cheap head as well as a thin skin. Men worthy of the cartoon recognize the compliment involved in it, however 'severe it may be; and the right of criticism belongs to every man who pays taxes to his government. And the kaiser must inevitably suffer mora as a result of his childishness than any of the men he puts in jail. TALMAGE'S SERMON. •GOOD AND BAD CLUI HOUSES" T H E T E X T . . I n m tli* T«z|i XL Samuel, II. t 14, M Follows: "I*ft the Young Men How Arise a»d rimj Before Us"—Kelt* of Imparl*! Debauchery Is Here. By refusing to accept the plea of intoxication advanced by an illegal voter in extenuation of his offense, a Philadelphia judge has taken a stand which good citizens will generally support, and which has reason, judgment and common sense back of it. In a vigorous manner the judge charged the jury that if they found the prisoner had voted illegally, as charged, it was their duty to convict him without regard to his condition at the time, whether he was drunk or sober. The jury promDtly convicted the man. The-number of cattle In stock in Britain is given at 6,500,497, of which 2,532,379 are cows and heifers in milk or in calf, and 1,323.230 are returned as being two years and above. As against the two preceding returns, cows show respective increases in number of 20,- 704 and 46,559; while the cattle of two years old and above present relative decreases of 41,827 and 108,295. Of cattle which have attained the age of one year there is an increase of 54,428 over the return of 1896, and of 170,473 over that of 1895. As compared with tfce total of 1896, calves or cattle under one year of age show a decrease of 26,390, but present an Increase of 37,- 524 as against that of 1895. Pigs have fallen considerably in number, being 536,499 less than in 1896, and 542,12? below the total of 1895. In one of William Mountford's books the dialogue runs like this: "I am old and feeble and useless," said Mai-ham, sadly. "No, uncle," said the young Aubln; "you were never more useful than now. You are useful just by being an old man." When Dr. Robert Gordon had outlived his activity as a minister, his friend, Dr. Candlish, said' of him: "It is far more important that he should live for several years* more than that he should do any work." His presence in the world became like that of a visible spirit of goodness. Fine old people are among the most gracious and humanizing influences, and sometimes their second childhood is more sweet and winsome than the first. We have known -more than one gray-hairei patriarch who was a very welcome "youth's companion." Major Handy, special commissioner to the Paris International Exposition, in his report to congress, recommends that an appropriation of $919,600 be granted, so that a creditable display on behalf of the United States may be made. The president, in transmitting the report, says: "Besides securing a much larger amount of space than had been reserved Major Handy obtained the gratifying assurance that the United States will be placed on a footing with the most favored nations and that in the installation of every Important department the United States will have a location com-> men8urate with the dignity and Importance of the country and adjoining In every case countries of the first rank. l a view of the magnitude and importance of the approaching exposition .and of our standing among the nations that will there be represented and in view also of our increased population and acknowledged progress in arts and sciences and manufactures, I earnestly commend the report of Major Handy to your consideration, and trust that a liberal appropriation may be made. Moreover, the magnificent exhibit of the French republic at Chicago in 1898, on which $1,000,000 were expended, should be a strong incentive to reciprocal liberality on the part of the -oTennaeat of the United States." Washington, January 9, 1898.—This discourse of Dr. Talmage will be helpful to those who want to find places with healthful and improving surroundings, and to avoid places deleterious. His text is 11. Sam. 2: 14: Let the young men now arise and play before us. A t this season of the year the clubhouses of our towns and cities are in full play. I have found out that there Is a legitimate and an illegitimate use it the club-house. In the one case it may become a healthful recreation, like the contest of the twenty-four"ra&n in the text when they began their play; in the other case it becomes the massacre of body, mind and soul, as in the case of these contestants of the text when they had gone too far with their eport. All intelligent ages have had their gatherings for political, social, artistic, literary purposes—gatherings characterized by "the blunt old Anglo- Saxon designation of "club." If you have read history you know that there was a King's Head Club, a Ben Johnson Club, a Brothers' Club, to which Swift and Bollngbroke belonged; a Literary Club, which Burke and Goldsmith and Johnson and Boswell made Immortal; a Jacobin Club, a Benjamin Franklin Junto Club. Some of these to Indicate justice, some to favor the arts, some to promote good manners, some to despoil the habits, some to destroy the soul. If one will write an honest history of the clubs of England, Ireland, Scotland, France and the United States for the last one hundred years, he will write the history of the world. The club was an institution born bn English soil, but it has thrived well in American atmosphere. Who shall ttll how many belong to that kind of club where men put purses together and open house, apportioning the -expense of caterer and servants and room, and having a sort of domestic establishment—a style i of club-house which in my opinion is far better than the ordinary hotel or boarding-house. But my object now is to speak of club-houses of a different sort, such as the Cosmos, or Chevy Chase, or Lincoln Clubs of this Capital, I or the "Union Leagues" of many cities, j the United Service Club of London, the Lotos of New York, where journalists, dramatists, sculptors, painters and artists, from all branches, gather together to discuss newspapers, theaters and elaborate art; like the Americua, whether you are impassioned or jplacld; shipwreck, or sunlight over the eea; Sheridan's Ride, or the noonday party of the farmers under the trees; foaming deer pursued by the hounds In the Adirondack!, or the sheep on the lawn. On this side there are reading rooms where you find all newspapers and magazines. On that side there is a library, where you find all books, from hermeneutlcs to the fairy" tale. Coming in and out there are gentlemen, some of whom stay ten minutes, others stay many hours. Some of these are from luxuriant homes, and they have excused themselves for a while from the domestic circle that of the club-house. These are from dismembered households, and they have a plain lodging somewhere, but they come to this club room to have their chief enjoyment. One black ball amid ten votes will defeat a man's becoming a member. For rowdyism, for drunkenness, for gambling, for any kind of misdemeanor, a member is dropped out. • Brilliant club-house from top to bottom. The chandeliers, the plate, the furniture, the companionship, the literature, the social prestige, a complete enchantment. But the evening is passing on, and so we hasten through the hall and down the steps and into the street, and from block to block until we come to another style of club-house. Opening the door, we find the fumes of strong drink and tobacco something almost intolerable. These young men at this table, it is easy to understand what they are at, from the flushed cheek, the intent look, the almost angry way of tossing the dice, or of moving the "chips." They are gambling. At another table are men who are telling vile stories. They are three-fourths intoxicated, and between twelve and one o'clock they will g o . staggering, hooting, swearing, shouting on their way home. That is an only son. On him all kindness, all care, all culture, has been bestowed. He is paying his parents in this way for their kindness. That is a yourg married man, who, only a few months ago, at the altar, made promises of kindness and fidelity, every one of which he has broken. Walk through and see for yourself. Here are all the implements of dissipation and of quick death. As the hours of the night go away, the conversation becomes Imbecile and more debasing. Now it is time to snut up. Those who are able to stand will get out on the pavement and balance themselves against the lamp-post, or against the railings of the fence. The young man who is not able to stand will have a bed improvised for him in the club-house, or two not quite so overcome with liquor will conduct him to his father's house, and they will ring the door-bell, and the duo/ will open, and the two imbecile escorts elevated; but let nqt men sacrifice horns life to club life. I can point out to you a great many names of men who are guilty of this sac* rilege. They are as genial as angels at the club house, and as ugly as sin at hprne. They are, runerous on all subjects of wine suppers, yaohts, and fast horses, but they, are stingy about the wife's dress and the children's shoes. That man has made that which might be a healthful recreation an usurper of his affections, and he has married tt, and he is guilty of moral bigamy. Under this process th*> wife, whatever her features, becomes uninteresting and homely. He, becomes they may enjoy the larger sociability critical of her, does not like the dress, which camps out in summer time, dimpling the pool with its hook and jrousing the forest with its stag hunt; like the Century Club, which has its large group of venerable lawyers and | poets; like the Army and Navy Club, ' where' those who engaged in war-like ! service once on the land or the sea now come together to talk over the days of carnage; like the New York Yacht Club, with its floating palaces of beauty upholstered with velvet and paneled with ebony, having all the advantages of electric bell, and of gaslight, and of king's pantry, one pleasure boat costing three thousand, another fifteen thousand, another thirty thousand, another sixty-five thousand dollars, the fleet of pleasure boats belonging to the club having «ost over two million, dollars; like the American Jockey Clubyto which belong men who have a passionate fondness for horses, will ihtroduce into the hallway the ghastliest and most hellish spectacle that ever enters a front door—a drunkdoes not like the way she arranges her hair, Is amazed that he ever was so unromantlc as to offer her hand and heart She is always wanting money, money, when she ought to be discussing eclipses, and Dexter, and Derby day, and English drags with six horses, all answering the pull of one "ribbon." I tell you, there are thousands of houses In the cities being clubbed to death! There are club houses where membership always involves domestic shipwreck. Tell me that a man has joined a certain club, tell me nothing more about him for ten years, and I will write his history if he be still alive. The man is a wine guzzler, his wife broken-hearted or prematurely old, his fortune gone or reduced, and his home a mere name In a directory. Here are six secular nights in the week. "What shall I do with them?" says the father and the husband. "I will give four of those nights to the improvement and entertainment of my family, either at home or in good neighborhood; I will devote one to charitable Institutions; I will devote one to the club." I congratulate you. Here is a man who says, "I will make a different division of the six nights. I will take three for the club and three for other purposes." I tremble. Here is a man who says, "Out of the six secular nights of the week, I will devote five to the club house and one to the home, which night I will spend in scowling like a March squall, wishing I was out spending it as I had spent the other five." That man' s obituary is written. Not one out of ten thousand that ever gets so far on the wrong road ever stops. Gradually his health will fail, through late hours and through too much stimulus. He will be first-rate prey for erysipelas and rheumatism of the heart. The doctor coming in will at a glance see It is not only present disease he mum fight, but years of fast living. The clergyman,for the sake of the feelings of the family, on the funeral day, will only talk in religious generalities. The men who got his yacht in the eternal rapids will not be at the obsequies. They will have pressing engagements that day. BAD DIGESTION, BAD HEART. Poor digestion of leu cause* irregularity of the heart's action. This irregularity may be mistaken for real, organic heart disease. The symptoms are much the isme. There is however* TMtdiffereneebetween the two: organic heart disease is often in* curablo; apparent heart disease is curable If good digestion be restored, A ease in point Is quoted from the Nn» JBra, of Greensburg, Ind. Mrs. Ellen Colaom, Newpoint, inai, a woman forty-three Jears old, iutd suffered for four yean with Stressing stomach trouble. The gases Eenerated by the indigestion pressed on the eart, and caused an irregularity of its action. She had much pain in her stomach and heart, and was subject to frequent and severe choking spells which were most severe at night Dectpcs f wyere tried in vain; the patient became worse, despondent, and feared impending death. • t \AN/ A Cage of Heart Failure. She was much frightened but noticed that in intervals in which her stomach did not annoy her, her heart's action became normal. Reasoning correctly that her digestion was alone at fault she procured the proper medicine to treat that trouble and with immediate good results. Her appetite came back, the choking spells became less frequent and finally ceased. Her weight, which had been greatly reduced was restored and she now weighs more than for years. Her blood soon became pure and her cheeks rosy. The case is of general interest because the disease is a very common one. That others may know the means of cure we give the name of the medicine used—Dr. Williams' Fink Pills for Pale People. These pills contain all the elements necessary to give new life and richness to the blood And restore shattered nerves.

If tue dissipting club-houses Bring me mallet and chisel, and 1 will fine horses, ds had Job when, in the Scriptures, he gv^es us a sketch of that king of beasts, th< nervousness of its foot, the majesty of its gait, the whirlwind of its power, crying out: "Hast thou clothed his neck with thunder? The glory of his nostrils is terrible; he paweth in the valley and rejoiceth in his strength; he saith among the trumpets ha! ha! and he smelleth the battle afar off, the thunder of the captaitos, and the shouting;" like the Travelers' Club, the Blossom Club, the Palette Club, the Commercial Club, the Liberal Club, the Stable Gang Club, the Amateur Boat Club, the gambling clubs, the wine clubs, the clubs of all sizes, the clubs of all morals, clubs as good as can be, and clubs as bad as bad can be, clubs innumerable. During the day they are comparatively lacy places. Here and there an aged mas reading a newspaper, or an employe dusting a sofa, or a clerk writing up the aeeottnts; but when the curtain of the night falls on the natural day, when the curtain of the elub-house hoists for the entertainment. Let us hasten up, now, the marble stairs. What an Imperial hallway! See! here are parlors on the side, with the upholstery of the Kremlin and the Tullleries; and here are dining halls that challenge you to mention aajr luxury that they cannot afford; and here are galleries with sculpture, and paintings, and lithographs, and drawings from the best of artists, Cropsey, and Bleratadt, and Church, and Bart, and Oiflord—picturss for every mood. of this country would make a contract with the Inferno to provide it ten thousand men a year, and for twenty years, on the condition that no more should be asked of them, the clubhouses could afford to make that contract, for they would save homesteads, save fortunes, save bodies, minds mid souls. The ten thousand men who would be sacrificed by that contract would be but a small part of the multitude sacrificed without the contract. But I make a vast difference between clubs. I have belonged to four clubs: A theological club, a ball club and two literary clubs. I got from them physical rejuvenation and moral health. What shall be the principle? If God will help me, I will lay down three principles by which you may juuge whether the club where you are a member, or the club to which you have been Invited, is a legitimate or an illegitimate club house. First of all, I want you to test the club' by its influences on home, If you have a home. I have been tolfl by a prominent gentleman in club life,that three-fourths of the members of the great clubs of these cities are married men. That wife soon k)ses her influence over her husband who nervously and foolishly looks upon all evening absence as an assault on domesticity. How are the great enterprises of art and literature and beneficence and public* weal to be carried on if every man is to have his world bounded on one side by his front door-step, and on the other side by his back window, knowing nothing higher than his Own attic, or nothing lower than his own cellar? That wife who becomes Jealous of her husband's attention to art, or literature, or religion, or charity, is breaking hep own sceptre of conjugal power. I know an Instance where a wife thought that her husband was giving too many nights to Christian service, to charitable service, to prayer meetings, and to religious convocation. She systematically decoyed him away until now he attends no church, and Is on a rapid way to destruction, his morals gone, his money gone, and, I fear, his soul gone. Let any Christian wife rejoice when her huebaad consecrates evenings to the service of God, or to charity, or to art, or to anything cut on the tombstone that man's epitaph, 'Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord." "No," you say, "that would not be appropriate." "Let me die the death of the righteous, and let my last end be like his" "No," you say, "that would not be appropriate." Then give me the mallet and chisel, and I will cut an honest epitaph: "Here lies the victim of a dissipating club house!", I think that damage is often done by the scions of some aristocratic family, who belong to one of these dissipating club houses. People coming up from humbler classes feel it an honor to belong to the same club, forgetting "the fact that many of t'he sons and grandsons of the large commercial establishments of the last generation are now, as to mind, imbecile; as to body, diseased; as to morals, rotten.. They would have got through their property long ago if they had full possession of it; but the wily ancestors, who earned the money by hard knocks, foresaw how it was to be, and they tied up everything in the will. Now, there is nothing of that unworthy descendant but his grandfather's name and roast beef rotundity. And yet how many steamers there are which feel honored to lash fast that worm-eaten tug, though it drags them straight into the breakers. The Laplanders. The Laplanders Inhabit the northernmost coasts of the Scandinavian peninsula. "They are ignorant, uncultivated, and torpid, rather savage," says a recent English traveler. "In spit*, of their frequent contact with the Russians and the Swedes, they have no industrial resources, no art, no other commerce than that which is afforded by the products of the chase, or their fisheries, or their heads of reindeer. Christianity, to which they were converted about two centuries ago, has not aroused them as yet from their moral and intellectual lethargy. All religion being- reduced, so far as they are concerned, to oral tradition, the devotion of* each is in proportion to his memory. Education among them has attained to this standard thai a Laplander who knows his alphabet corresponds to a young man among us who has graduated at Oxford or OambridaV AN OPEN LETTER TO MOTHERS. eVxWcl uarseiv aes suosret ionfg t hine twheo rcdo u"rCtsA oSuTrO rlIfirlhAt, "to atnhde ' PITi.

After opening the meeting the chairman called upon Judge Black, who outlined the proposed line and explained the workings of such a line. He was followed in turn by Dr. Schenck, L, C. Chase and Thos. Birkett. It is proposed that the line start from Lansing and make through to Ann Arbor, thus connecting with the line there giving a direct electric line from Lansing to . Detroit. - T h e r e is also a line in project from Lansing to StLcuis and from there to Saginaw which would be almost a state belt line.

Allhon. The DISPATCH a few yiiars ;• i<o commenced to agitate The electric road question and many of L ur brother editors took particula • pp.ms to joke at our expense and laugh at the idea of such a thing ever coming to Pinckney. That such a road is now under contemplation is a source of threat satisfaction to us, but we are still aware that there is umany a slip'1 etc., and that if we get the proposed Lansing, Dexter (or PINTKNET) & Ann Arbor Electric Ry., lice we will have to work for it as we have sister towns that are off of the direct line, who will do all in their power to divert the road from this direction. That is the question to be settled by the citizens of Pinckney and vicinity. That the township board has the power to give the right-of-way through the ^township is undisputed, but to make the matter more satisfactory and easier to dispose of the committee desire to secure the. right-of-way of tire farmers along the line to allow it to pass their farms, and it would seem as if no fair thinking man, who has the best interestsof his township, village or farm at heart, would hesitate a moment in granting this to the proposed line. Now, friends, shall we have this road or shall we let some other more progressive community secure the plum? Let us rally and put our village and township to the front and be the foremost in Livingston county. The ball is rolling, do not let it stop until the cars of the L, D. & A. A. Ry. roll through Pinckney, and they will in less than a year if we all say so. Get dtarks Photos at Coupon rates on Jan. 26.

T h e acquittal of Count Esterhazy, w h o w a s charged w i t h t h e Dreyfus crime, led M. Zola, t h e famous novelist, to denounce Esterhazy and other h i g h civil and military personages, and he dared the g o v e r n m e n t to prosecute him. The citizens took sides in the matter and t h e fact that Dreyfus is of H e b r e w extraction led to a strong anti -Semitic feeli n g b e i n g aroused and there w a s some bloodshed. T h e minister of war, Gen.

McCiellan, o f N e w York, a son of Gen- Geo. M. MoCtsUnji, attacked the present army organization a s obsolete and inefficient, top-heavy w i t h the gold lace of staff officers, m a n y of w h o m had not seen more active service than the average policeman. He advocated a thorough reorganization, not in a spirit of jingoism, but to call attention to the fact that we are paying a very large price for an inefficient army, utterly unprepared for war, while a very small additional expenditure, w i t h proper reorganisation, would work wonders. Mr. L e w i s , of Washington, protested against^ a n enl a r g e m e n t of the army as it w o u l d b u t s t r e n g t h e n the trusts and monopolies in securing a firmer g r a s p upon the liberties of the people and. the government. Senator Wolcott, chairman, of t h e international bimetallic commission, delivered an address ia the Senate in w h i c h he spoke of the status of t h e negotiations with the foreign g o v e r n - m e n t s by the Commissioner last y e a r in the interests of International bimetallism. He said t h a t it is a p p a r e n t , t h a t for the time b e i n g it is hopeless to count on any co-operation from »Great Britain towards a bimetallic agreement, and that w h i l e France actively desires to see silver restored to its old position as a standard of value e q u a l l y with gold, she insists t h a t the problem is one which demands international action and the co-operation to s o m e adequate e x t e n t of other leading commercial nations of the world. He t h o u g h t it m i g h t be necessary to change the ratio to s o m e t h i n g like 20 to 1. He referred to the attitude of Secretary Gage on the financial question, contrasting it with the President's position, and said Secretary Gage's bill will reach limbo before it reaches the Senate. In conclusion Mr. Wolcott said it would be cowardly to abandon hope, and added: "International bimetallism is to the gold monome tall lets a Stumbling block, and to t h e ' s i l v e r monometallists foolishness, b e t It is nevertheless a splendid possibility; i t s accomplishment would be the greate s t blessing t h a t could be fall, our people, e n d to achieve it we m i g h t w e l l s f f o n d i o sink for the time the hostilities and bickerings of factions.

Indeed, Miss Dlmsdale never had any money to spare, and it was in the hope erf making more of the loose money that she had, money that was apart from her estate and her settled annuity, that she ^unfortunately bought, among other things,, two shares in a bank which was not safe, which, indeed, failed and left fcer liable for nearly as much money as the Hall and the lands were wortlh." "Then was my aunt a pensioner on your bounty?" Dorothy cried, her face all aflame at the idea. "Certainly not," with a bitter smile at the pride on the soft IWrtie face. "I was not to take possession until her death, and she had always her annuity; Tmt after that loss she never lived In the same comfort quite as she had done before." "I never noticed it," Dorothy put in. "Perhaps not. She was most anxious that you should not do so." "Then this is your house?" said Dorothy, rising. "Stay, let me speak. I will »e£—keep yoa—out of your-4 rights. The day after she"—her voice trembling—"Is taken away, I, too. will go," and then she turned away, to hide alike her anger and her tears. David Stevenson rose also, his face hard and set in response to the bitterness of the girl's tones, his hands trembling, and his heart as heavy as lead. A sharp reply rose to his tongue, *ut it went no further, for all at once che fright'of Dorothy's grief touched and softened him. "Dorothy!

"I am very miserable," she said, in a choking voice. •TnjTvery sorry." . David Stevenson drew his own conclusions from the admission: t&em after a minute or two of silence, he asid, "There is one thing I should like to tell you before I go, Dorothy—" •"Yea," very meekly. "It is—don't think I am trying to foooe myself on yoa when you are in trouble, for it is because you are alone and In trouble that I must tell you.

So he went home to his own handsome, lonely house, and looked around as a condemned man may look around the cell which Is to be his while life lasts. He was quietly and utterly miserable, for until a few months ago Dorothy had been the life and mainspring of his life. , If he had made any improvement in his house, it had been for Dorothy. If he had planted a shrub or a young tree, it had been for' Dorothy. He had bought a smart little village cart, thinking that it was just what Dorothy would like to drive Iherself about the lanes in—but it had all been for nothing; and in that bitter hour of realization he knew that he would live out his life alone, and that Dorothy Strode would never come, except in dreams, vain, hopeless dreams, to be the mistress of Holroyd. tie tahie at her elbow.

It made her ao fnl and happy to know that I ing to he Dick's wife—that Dick was going to take care ot me always. And yet, poor David! Ob! I wish he would marry someone else. Biaie Oarrtagton likes htan so much—Eleie arwuys thought David was perfect. I wonder when I am safely out of the way and married to Dick, whether David could be brought to think of Btoie a little. It would be such a good thing for her, and she is pretty and good, and oh! so fond of him. I wonder if I were to give David Just a little (hint, just a suspicion of a hint that Elsie has always liked him. If he wouldn't-^why, Elsie would never know that I had said anything, and then if he knew he might soon get to like her better than me. I am sure if Dick had not cared for me as he does, and had married somebody else, I would marry David at once, and Auntie would be glad, too, if she knew. David used to be her favorite, and ehe always liked Elsie, always." "Now, my dear," said Barbara, coming in, "here is a nice cup of tea and a plate of toast. Try to eat it, my dear; it will help you to bear tt." "Yes, Barbara," said Dorothy, her eyes filling with tears again. A •fmWW imiwmurw f. M« * • CHAPTER V m . COUPLE of hours passed before he remembered that he had ever mentioned the subject of Miss Dimsdale's funeral to Dorothy, or actually toJd her in^what precise circumhad you everything. Therefore I have sent into Colchester for Mawscm to come out and eee you about the funeral, which will be, of course, in every respect as you wish to have it. May I suggest to you that you shall carry out Miss Dimsdale's often expressed views on this subject—plain and good and without ostentation? With regard to your mourning, it will be best for you to employ your regular dress people. I am obliged to mention this, as, not being of age, you cannot legally pay for accessary bills. After next month you will be the absolute mistress of whatever the property will realize. Always your true friend, "DAVID." This Dorothy received soon after four in the afternoon, just after Barbara had lighted the lamps in the drawing-room and drawn the crimson curtains closely over the windows. "There is & letter, Miss Dorothy, dear," she said, glad of anything that -would help to break the loneliness an<i monotony of that awful day, "and while you read it I'll go and see if your cup of tea isn't ready: you have had nothing this day, and a cup of CHAPTER DC. H E following morning Dick Aylmer made his appearance at the Hall quite early. ''How have you been getting on, my darling?" he said, when Dorothy fairly ran into his arms. "Oh! it was such a miserable day yesterday," she answered mournfully. "I sat here alone all day crying and thinking about Auntie, except *'it*n—" "Yes? When—" "When David Steve, aon came to see me." Dick could not help frowning a little. "David Stevenson? Why did he come?" "Well, because he is Auntie's executor— he has to do everything; and oh! Dick, everything belongs to him now —the very house is his." "His, this house! Why, what do you mean?" "I will tell you," she said. "You know; but no, of course you don't know, but I will tell you.

Here is a case from Battle Greek: Mr. Josi&h I I Shoup lives at 61 Broad Street, he was a member of the Battle Creek police force for many years. As a member of the force he served the city well, but the rough weather he was often subjected to laid the foundation of kidney disorder, which has troubled him very much. Here is what he says about it: "About three years ago, while on the police force, I contracted from exposure a kidney trouble, which has since given me no end of trouble. The pain was right through my kidneys and across the email of my back; if sitting down and I wanted to stand up, I had to arise very slowly and) gently to avoid increasing the pain; I bail Buch tired-out feelings all the time, and I was steadily gutting worse. About t w o months ago, hearing of Doan's Kidney Pills, I got a box. Their action and effect was most complete, they removed the old aching pains for good. I can now get around as quickly as anybody.

I must send her a line down at once." Dorothy therefore, in something less than an hour's time, received the following note: "My Dear Dorothy: I quite forgot this morning to mention several matters of importance just now.

The main floor of the opera house was arranged in the shape of the regular hall with the seats around the outside and the work was done in the center. The KOTM's tonic the floor first and while they were mostly green at the drill, the ceremony passed off without a hitch and a #ood impression was made which will be of much gcod to the order. The following fficers were installed by tJast Commander Charles L. Grimes: Com., C. L. Campbell; Lieut. Com., P. W. Coniway; R. K,. C. L. Grimes; F. KM J . A. Cad well; Chaplain, I. S. P.

After the installation of the Knights the installing master Grimes, in beliiilfofF. L. Andrews presented the order with a fine gavel-stone for the Commanders station, after which the t.^nt was closed and the- hall taken possession of by the L. 0. T. ,M.

Stearns of Kalamazoo is the Conductor of our Farmers' Institute at Howell, Feby. 3 and 4. Mr^ Stearns has a 40 acre fruit farm a t South Haven and is a successful grower of all kinds of fruit. He is thoroughly posted on up-to-date methods. His advice is adapted to those who wish to make a specialty of f n m growing and also to those who are engaged in it on a small scale. Prof. Ii. A. Hinsdale of th© University speaks on the subjeet "Rural Schools." The importance of the subject and the reputation of the speaker will, we are sure, attract the attention of the people of Livingston Co. Every teacher in the county should be present to hear him. Mr. C. P, Goodrich of Ft. Atkinson, Wis., is th« leading dairyman of that state. He knows the business from the foundation, having followed it over 35 years. Such a man is worth hearing. His talks will be especially interesting to the people' of this locality. He not only knows dairying but is well ported on all phases of general farming.

"Loan companies," in most of our cities, advance email sums of money on the security of household furniture, charging anywhere from six to twenty per cent a month interest. The federation of women's clubs at Syracuse was ruled by Sorosis in the •election of U president, and the opposition bitterly says it did so through a Tammany system of politics. Thus the federation is at war with Itself, and the result is an immensity of grief and hysterics, to be followed by the hopeleas fracture of the entire establishment. It is singular that women cannot dwell together in unity—any more than men can. The Tuskegee Normal and Industrial institute for colored people has Just dedicated an agricultural building. One of the speakers said: "It is/ a great deal better for the state of Alabama to spend one hundred dollars on each of these boys and girls than to spend perhaps ten thousand dollars in convicting them later on." Illiteracy is expensive as well as deplorable. Education is economical, for it reduces crime; and there is no color line in this fact A foreign writer recently said: "Germany feels more and more the need of foreign markets. She has ceased to.be a pre-eminently agricultural country, and is becoming every year more and more an Industrial and commercial country. In 1882, of every 1,000 persons 425 were supported by agriculture and only 355 by industry and 100 by commerce. In 1895 the proportions were already nearly reversed, Woman, a mere adjunct to man, an appendix to the masculine volume, an appendage, a sort of afterthought, something thrown in to make things even—that is the heresy entertained and implied by some men. This is evident to them, because Adam was first created, and than Eve. They don't read the whole story, or they would And that the porpoise and the bear and the hawk were created before Adam, so that this argument, drawn from priority of creation, might prove that the sheep and the dog were greater than man. No Woman was an independent creation, and was intended, if she chose, to live alone, to work alone, act alone, think alone, and fight her battles alone. Thee Bible says it is not good for man to be alone, but never says it is not good for woman to be alone; and the simple fact is that many women who are harnessed for life in the marriage religion would be a thousandfold better off if they were alone. Who are these men who, year alter year, hang around hotels and enginehouses and theater doors, and come In and out to bother busy clerks and merchants and mechanics, doing nothing, where there is plenty to do? They are men supported by their wives and mothers. If the statistics of any of our cities could be taken on this subject, you would find that a vast multitude of women* not only support themselves, but masculines. A great legion of men amount to nothing, and a woman by marriage, manacled to one of these nonentities, needs condolence. A wolay out her own plans, he her own supervisor, achieve her own destiny. In addressing those women who have to fight the battle alone, I congratulate you on your happy escape. Rejoice forever that you will not have to navigate the faults of the other sex, when you have faults enough of your own. Think of the bereavement* you avoid, of the risks of unassimilated temper which you will not have to run, of the cares you will never have to carry, and of the opportunity of outside usefulness from which marital life would have partially debarred you. and that you are free to go and come as one who has the responsibilities of a household can seldom be. God has not given you a hard lot, as compared with your sisters. When young women shall make up their mindB at the start that masculine companionship is not a necessity in order to happiness, and that there is a strong probability that they will have to fight the battle of life alone, they will be getting the timber ready for their own fortune, and their saw and axe and plane sharpened for its construction, since "Every wise woman buildeth her house." As no boy ought to be brought up without learning some business at which he could earn a livelihood, so no girl ought to be brought up without learning the science of self-support. The difficulty is that many a family goes sailing on the high tides of success, and the husband and father depends on' his own health and acumen for the welfare of his, household, but one day he gets his feet wet, and in three days pneumonia has closed hts life, and the daughters are turned out on a cold world to earn bread, and there is nothing practical thaT they can do. The friends come In and hold consultation. "Give music lessons," says an outsider. Yes, that is a useful calling, and if you have great genius" for it, go on in that direction. But there are enough music teachers now starving to death in all our towns and cities, to occupy all the piano stools man standing outside the marriage re- j and sofas and chairs and front-door latlon is several hundred thousand times better off than a woman badly married. Many a bride, instead of a wreath of orange blossoms might more 891 per 1,000 derived their livelihood properly wear a bunch of nettles and from industry, 116 from commerce and only 367 from agriculture. Foreign markets, must therefore, be secured abroad for the surplus production of her industry, and, on the'other hand, food and raw materials must be obtained in increasing quantities from abroad." s ' At the opening of the agricultural building at Tuskegee, Ala., Secretary of Agriculture Wilson said: "There la a growing demand for men educated in the sciences relating to agriculture. We want a soil physicist at the department in Washington—a simple want, one would say. There are 1,000 people asking places in the department, well-educated people, but not one has studied soils. An inquiry comes from a university for a biologist; none of the 1,000 is proficient along that line; a scientific dairyman is in demand; very few are to be had, while the country has a surplus of men and women well-educated along lines that do not apply to the farm and its various departments. We must educate young people to do something that somebody wants done, where money is waiting to pay them. nightshade, and, Instead of the Wedding March, a more appropriate tune would be the Dead March in Saul, and, instead of a banquet of confectionery and ices, there might be, more appropriately spread a table covered with apples of Sodom. Many an attractive woman, of good sound sense in other things, has married one of these men to reform him, What was the result? Like when a dove, noticing that a vulture was rapacious and cruel, set about to reform it, and said, "I have a mild disposition, and I ltkft peace, and was brought up It is reported that at the Grand Island, Neb., sugar beet factory a flock of 50,000 sheep and a number of cattle are now being fed almost exclusively upon the sliced beets, after the Juices and sugar are extracted. City delivery waeona deliver to owners of in the quiet of a dove-cote, and I will bring the vulture to the same liking by marrying him," so, one day, after the vulture declared he would give up his carniverous habits and cease longing for blood of flock and herd, at an altar of rock covered with moss and steps of the city. Besides that, the daughter has been playing only for amusement, and is only at the foot of the ladder, to the top of which a great multitude of masters on piano and harp and flute and organ have climbed. "Put the bereft daughters as saleswomen in stores," says another adviser. But there they must compete with salesmen of long experience, or with men who have served an apprenticeship in commerce and who began as shop boys at ten years of age. Some kind-hearted dry goods man, having known the father, now gone, says, "We are not in need of any more help just now, but send your daughters to my store, and I will do as well by them as possible." Very soon the question lichen, the twain were married, a baldheaded eagle officiating, the vulture saying, "With all my dominion of earth and sky, I thee endow, and promise to love and cherish till death do I your daughters that life is an earnest us part." But one day the dove in her j thing, and that there is a possibility, comes up, why do not the female employes of that establishment get as much wages as the male employes? For the simple reason, in many cases, the females were suddenly flung by misfortune behind that counter, while the males have from the day they left the public school beea learning the business. How is this evil to be cured? Start clear back in the homestead and teach les during the patriotlo absence, womet were demand©* by the teat o* thousands to take the vacant places; and multitudes of women, who had been hitherto supported bycXathers and brothers and sons, were compelled from that time to take care of themsejve*. From that time a mighty change took place favorable to female employment. * * * Now, men of America, be fair, and give the women a chance. Are you afraid that they will do some of your work, and hence harm your prosperities t Remember that there are scores of thousands of men doing women's work. Do not be afraid! God knows the end from the beginning, and he knows how many people this world can feed and shelter, and when it gets too full he will end the world, and, if need be, start another. God will halt the inventive faculty, which, by producing a machine that will do the work of ten or twenty or a hundred men and women, will leave that number of people without work. I hope th&t there will not be invented another sewing machine, or reaping machine, or corn thresher, or any new machine, for the next five hundred years. We want no more wooden hands and iron hands and steel hands and electric hands substituted for men and women, who would otherwise do the work and get the pay and earn the livelihood. But God will arrange all, and all we have to do Is to do our best and trust him for the rest. Let me cheer all women fighting the battle of life alone, with the fact of thousands of women who have won the day. Mary Lyon, founder of Mount Holyoke Female Seminary, fought the battle alone; Adelaide Newton, the tract distributor, alone; Fidelia Fisk, the consecrated missionary, alone; Dorothea Dlx, the angel of the insane asylums, alone; Caroline Herschel, the indispensable reinforcement of her brother, alone; Maria Takrzewska, the heroine of the Berlin hospital, alone; Helen Chalmers, patron of the sewing schools for the poor of Edinburgh, alone. And thousands and tens of thousands of women, of whose bravery and self-saeriflce and glory of character the world has made no record, but whose deeds are in the heavenly archives of martyrs who fought the battle alone, and, though unrecognized for the short thirty or fifty or. eighty years Qf their earthly existence, shall through the quintillion ages of the higher world be pointed out with the admiring cry, .."These are they who came out of great tribulation and had their robes washed and made white in the blood of the Lamb." Let me also say, for the encouragement of all women fighting the battle of life alone, that their conflict will Honn and.

The second sealing conference closed with an agreement of the American, Canadian and British seal experts upon certain matters of fact. Among t-hese are the statements that the Pribilof seal herd is not more than one-third or one-fifth as large as formerly; that the catch at sea contains a marked excess of females; but that deep-sea sealing has fallen off in greater ratio than the herd has; and that the herd 1« not in danger of actual extermination while its haunts on land are protected, and the protected zone around the islands U. maintained. This agreement of the experts was followed by a diplomatic conference, at which the representatives of Canada submitted propositions for an adjustment of all questions at issue between the United States and rgnjwi^ through an international commission. These propositions are to be formally presented later for the consideration of our gowamect. fright, saw the vulture busy at" a carcass and cried, "-Stop that! did you not promise me that you would quit your carniverous and filthy habits if I married you?" "Yes," said the vulture, "but if you don't like my way, you can leave,** and with one angry Btroke of the beak, and another fierce clutch of the claw, the vulture left the dove eyeless and wingless and lifeless. And a flock of robins flying past, cried.to each other and said, "See there! that comes from a dove marrying a vulture to reform him." Many a woman who has had the hand of a young inebriate offered, but declined it, or who was asked to chain her life to a man selfish, or of bad temper, and refused the shackles, will bless God throughout all eternity that she escaped that earthly pandemonium. Besides all this, in our country about one million men were sacrificed in our Civil war, and that decreed a million women to celibacy. Besides that, since the war, several armies of men as large as the Federal and Confederate armies put together, have fallen under malt liquors and distilled spirits, so full of poisoned ingredients that the work was done more rapidly, and the victims fell while yet young.^ And if fifty thousand men are destroyed every year by strong drink before marriage, that makes in the thirty-three years since the war one million six hundred and fifty thousand p-zn slain, and decrees one million six hundred and fifty thousand women to celibacy. Take, then, the fact that so many women are unhappy in their marriage, and the fact that the slaughter of two million five hundred and fifty thousand men, by war and rum combined, decides that at least that number of women shall be unaffianced iot life, my text "ornes in with a cheer and potency and approprlatenMe that you may never have seen in it before when it says, "Every wise woman buildeth her house; that Is, let woman be her own architect, if not a strong probability, that they will have to fight the battle of life alone. Let every father and mother say to their daughters, "Now, what would you do for a livelihood if what I now own were swept aw^iy by financial disaster, or old aga, or death should end my career?" "Well, I^could paint on pottery and do such decorative work." Yes, that is beautiful, and if yuu havtj geulua for 11 go on in that direction. But there are enough busy at that now to make a line of hardware as long as yon Pennsylvania avenue'. "Well, I could make recitations in public and earn my living as a dramatist; I could render King Lear or Macbeth till your hair would rise on end, or give you Sheridan's Ride or Dicken's Pickwick." Yes, that is a beautiful art, but ever and anon, as now, there is an epidemic of dramatization that makes hundreds of households nervous with the cries and shrieks and groans of young tragediennes dying in the fifth act, and the trouble 'is that while your friends would like to hear ycu, and really think that you could surpass Ristori and Charlotte Cushman and Fanny Kemble of the past, to say nothing of the present, you could not, in the way of living, in ten years earn ten cents. My advice to all girls and all unmarried women, whether in affluent homes or in homes where most stringent economies.are grinding, is to learn to do some kind of work that the world must have while the world stands. I am glad to Bee a marvelous change for the better, and that women have found out that there are hundreds of practical things that a woman can do for a living if she begins soon enough, and that men have been compelled to admit it. You and I can remember when the majority of occupations were thought inappropriate for women; but our Civil war came, and the boats of men went forth from North and South; and to conduct the business of our cltover the faces of many of them, and that word is Despair. My sister, you need appeal to Christ, who comforted the sisters of Bethany in their domestic trouble, and who In his last hours forgot all the pangs of his own hands and feet and heart, as he looked into the face of maternal anguish, and called a friend's attention to it, in substance saying, "John, I can not take" care of her any longer. Do for her as I would have done, if I had lived. Behold thy mother!" If, under this pressure of unrewarded and unappreciated work, your hair is whitening and the wrinkles come, rejoice that you are nearing the hour of escape from your very last fatigue, and may your departure be as pleasant as that of Isabella Graham, who closed her life with$J smile and the word "Peace." The daughter of a regiment in any army is all surrounded by bayonets of defense, and, in the battle, whuever falls, she is kept safe. And you are the daughter of the regiment commanded by the Lord of Hosts. After all, you are not fighting the battle of life alone. All heaven is on your side. You will be wise to appropriate to yourself the words of sacred rhythm: "One who has known in storms to sail I have on board; Above the roaring of the gale I hear my Lord.

It is estimated that the reduction means a loss of between $75,000 and 985,000 a week to the wage earners in the six Btates.

Gentlemen:—I hare been intending to write you in regard to my car* by y o u r wonderful m e d i c i n e "6 DKOPS." In July im I wot taken <*ick with what is called complication of dlietMW, being aval* inflammation of alt the organ* of the body. 1 wax very sick, for about three months, having bat one chance In a hundred of recovery, but the good Lord allowed roe to live, the disease MttUftg In ray kidneys and bladder. I had also Indigestion, constipation, nervous dyspepsia, heart fai1ure,abesssss twice a week on the prostrate Br land, hemorrhage of the bowels once a week, enlarged spleen, muscular rheumatism in the palms of my hands extending to my shoulder*, catarrh and chills and shakes, which no specialist In the state could tell me what they were or the cause. I wouul freeze to ice for fully Ave minutes, taen the shakes would begin anil I would shake from one half hour to an hour and a half .and when they stopped I had no strength left; the after effects were more like a lit. 1 would sleep very heavily for three hoars or more, all nndtr the most Intense pain. A l l t b e specialist* In t h e s t a t e d e c l a r e d me Incurable. The X-ray was put on by one of tbe city's most eminent physicians, but he told nie I was incurable, that I mast as* plenty of morphine or suffer. Soon after I saw the ad in a western paper of "A DKOP8," the recipe from the celebrated physician, Dr. Lloyd, whom I knew by reputation. 1 wrote and explained my case to tne Swaneon Rheumatic Cure Co., and received an answer that 1 could be cured, and sent me a small trial bottle to begin on. Just before I received it 1 had one of those terrible shakes which almo»t\illed me. For nine years I bad a kidney backache, a hot stinging pain that nerer left me for a moment. I tried everything I could hear of, but con Id g e t no relief until I begun t h e '<& DROPS." The ttrst dose 1 took the &th of May, 18»7, at noon, and In less than aa hour the backache left me and has not returned. I used it steadily for three weeks and kept getting better; at the end of three weeks the pain in my side stopped' a t t h e e n d o f four w e e k s the r h e u m a t i s m w a s n o more, and in six weeks all my pain left me. My chilU and shakes are gone; ray heart failure and dyspepsia went the first week and I feel xtiong aud well, and I thank s n j God dally for h a v i n g put m e In t n e w a y of this g r e a t medicine, it has cured many in this vicinity and U still earing afflicted ones who take it steadily and want to be cured.

The year has opened with a very satis* factory prospect It is-,alt the better that there fa no wild excitement la the speculative markets and while stocks advance a lutle grain yields a little. Distributive trade remains rather quiet, mild weather throughout the country teodtog to check distribution of winter goods. Prices generally remain steady or tend upward, except for some grades of iron, and orders for sprtng trade, where received, are encouraging Industrial activitv is most manifest at the west, where the demand for iron is very large. Since 1»92 was, on the whole, the most prosperous vear, thus far comparisons Indicate, notwithstanding the lowest prices ever known, that t h e volume ot business is larger, and. In spite of some cutting of rates, the earnings of the railroads are larger than in the best vear of past history. Woman.Who KJJOW the Laws of Nattrro and Obtp Them May U v e to Oroen Old Atfo.

' Nervous exhaustion invites disease. This statement i s the positive truth. When everything becomes a burden and you cannoV walk a few blocks without excessive fatigue? and yon break out into perspirations easily, and your face flushes, and yon grow excited and shaky at the least provocation, and you cannot bear t o be kcrossed in anything, yon sare in danger; your nerves have given out; yon need building up at once! To build u p woman's nervous system and restore woman's health, we know of no better or more inspiring medicine than Tiydia £ . Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. Your ailment taken in time can be thrown off, if neglected it will run on into great suffering and pain. Here is an illustration. MRS. LUCY GOODWIN, Holly, W. Va., says: " I suffered with nervous prostration, fainteess, all-gone feeling and palpitation of the heart. I could not stand but s> few moments at a time withoat having that terrible bearing-down sensation. " When I commenced taking Lydia £ . Pinkham's Vegetable Compound 1 only weighed 108 pounds, and could n o t sit up half a day; before, however, I had used a whole bottle, I was able to b e about. I took in all about three bottles of the Compound, and am entirely cured; now I weigh 131 pounds and feel like a new woman, stronger and better than ever in my life." So it transpires that because of t h e virtues of Mrs. Pinkham's wonderful Compound, even a very sick woman can be cured and live t o a green old age. Some people use a jackass to draw a conveyance and others employ a lawyer. Age may not be garrulous, but it is sure to tell on a woman in the course of time.

It's manly because it helps others. So many claims made that are not true, Backed by strangers from far away places. No wonder there are skeptics. Many Michigan men appreciate this. They raise their voices with no uncertain sound Want friends and neighbors to know about it. Know what Doan's Kidney Pills are. And appreciate the merits of a good thing.

The state auditors ran u p a g a i n s t «, vigorous protest in a t t e m p t i n g to award the contract for state printing. Sie l o w e s t bid for the contract w a s at of the Seventh Day Adventlst publishing house at Battle Creek, whleh is non-union And p a y s a low scale of wages. Immediately the union printers of the state began a vigorous kicking, sending written protests and capable delegations to the state auditors, which caused the matter to be delayed, but finally the auditore decided to compromise by a w a r d i n g the prin tm g contract to the Robt. Smith Printi n g Co., of Lansing, who have done t h e work for several years, and the bindi n g to the Battle Creek concern. B u t this plan does not please any of the parties. T h e Adventists say t h e y w i l l not accept the binding contract w i t h - out the printing ana the unionists are kicking because any of the state work is g o i n g to a uon-uuiou tirm. The Adventists were about 83,500 under Smith ou the printing contract, but the auditors figured t h a t the g r e a t inconvenience and expense incident to daily transferring copy and proofs bet w e e n the departments and Battle Creek would many times offset t h i s difference.

The supreme court h a s ordered the board of Au Sable township, Iosco county, to show cause w h y it should n o t elect, at once, a n e w supervisor a n d spread state and county taxes on the township rolls. It is charged that this assessment w a s willfully omitted b y Supervisor Dudgeon, who is now in Idaho. The combined state and county tax apportioned to An Sable township w a s $6,043. It is said that the township board backed Dudgeon in refusi n g to spread this amount on the rolls, end the reason is not very hard to find when it is understood t h a t every member of the township board is an employe of the big lumber firm of the H. If. Loud it, Sons Co., and that 90 per c e n t of the taxable property in the township is o w n e d by the Loads.

These reports are not borne o u t by surrounding circumstances, h o w e v e r , and there are indications t h a t the decision to send the Maine to Havana w a s in response to a direct request from Consul-General Lee.

I could have borne anything then, but now I feel like a poor little rudderless boat going out to an unknown sea." "Not rudderless while I live," he replied tenderly. "Well, Dorothy, my darling, I may as well make a clean breast of the worst at once and get it over. Don't be frightened, dear, but my name Is not Harris at all." "Dick!" she cried, then sat staring at him as if she could not believe her own ears. "Dick!" "Yes, I know. But wait till you hear all, dear, and then you will see that it was not my fault, to begin with, and that I never meant really to deceive either of you." And then he told her everything— how Lady Jane must have mistaken him for his friend Haines; how unconscious he had been that the mistake had been made until she—Dorothy, that is—had called him Mr. Harris; how that fellow Stevenson had passed just as she spoke, and he had forgotten until he got back to Lady Jane's, nearly, that he had parted from her leaving her under a wrong impression about, him; how, oddly enough, almost the same thing had happened at Lady Jane's. Then he told her all about his uncle's- letter—gave it to her to read, in fact—and told her how he had come to call on Miss Dimsdale, and had been prevented from giving his real name to Barbara by Dorothy's coming to meet him and introducing him to her aunt as "Mr. Harris," and, finally, how he let the mistake pass, feeling that the whole situation was a very awkward one for him, but having always the full intention of making a clean breast of it to Miss Dimsdale sooner or later. "And the fact was," he ended, half apologetically, "I thought if you both got to like me you wouldn't care whether my name was Tom, Dick or Harry." "But It is Dick?" ehe cried quite piteously.

"Oh, no, I was not thinking of that," she said. "I was only thinking how wonderful it was that you should want to marry me. But, Dick, what will your uncle say when he finds out about it?" "He will cut off my allowance promptly," Dick answered. "Oh, Dick!" she said. "Well, now, my darling, that is what I want to talk to you about You See, nobody about here, not even Ladjr Jane, knows me except as Harris, regiment vague. And if the old savage finds out that I am married he will make it a necessity for me to go to India, which X don't want to do if X can help R. But if you would consent to marry me privately under the name of Richard Harris, we should be perfectly safe, so long as you were not known by any of the people in the regiment--that Is, if you lived a mile or two away, or in the next town." "It would be quite legal?" said Dorothy, in a trembling voice. "It wonld be perfectly legal," he answered. "Oh, my dear!" he burst out, "do yon think I would be such a villain as to make a suggestion which would not be legal, while your aunt, who took care of you all her life, and who soft you In my charge, lay dead In the house? Listen—i have thought it all out. We shall be married, if you consent, as soon as we possibly can be. Barbara will witness the marriage, but will not know my real name. I will at once make a deed declaring that I was married on such a day, under the name of Harris, and leave it sealed in some place of safety, so that there can never be any trouble about the identification of the Richard Harris who was married to Dorothy Strode. We will tell Barbara that it is necessary the marriage should be kept secret for a time, and she will live with you and take care of you when I am absent. There, that is my idea, I know that it is a great sacrifice to ask of you, and I hardly like to ask it, but you see I am in this old savage's hands, so to speak. Then, on the other hand, if you don't feel that you ought to do this, or that your aunt would have objected very strongly to it, I will write at once and tefl Lord Aylmer what I have done, and he must make himself as disagreeable as he pleases. Only, my dearest, that will mean India." "Dick, dear," said Dorothy, slipping her hand within his, " we will be marrled privately. I don't think Auntie would have minded a bit. U she knew a thing was right, she never cared what the world had to say about i t / \ surely the dear mistress never let him get round her to that extent?" "No, no." cried Dorothy, "but Auntie had to sell the Hall to somebody, and she sold it to David, and I never knew it till he told mejyesterday." "Then I think, Miss Dorothy," cried Barbara, in dignified disgust, "that he might have had the decency to wait a day or two before he told you." "No, Barbara, you are too hard on David. He has been very kind and considerate to me—most kind and considerate, indeed. But he just had to tell me, he couldn't very well help himself. Of course, he does not want to turn us out—he—he wouldn't mind if we stopped here for7 years; but then, you see, Barbara, I 'am engaged to Mr. Harris, and—and this no place for me." "Does Mr. David know?" Barbara inquired. "Not yet; and that is what I wanted to tell you. You see, Barbara, Mr. Harris is very awkwardly placed. He has a relation who insists that he does not get married because he would not marry some rich girl or other that they wanted him to marry. And, of course, he wants to marry me, and he means to." "Yes?" said Barbara, intensely inter es-ted in this very romantic situation. "Yes, Miss Dorothy; well?" "Well. Barbara dear, we are going to be married quietly," said Dorothy, edging her chair a trifle nearer to the elderly woman's chair, "without letting anybody know;, do you see?** "Without any of the folk round about knowing?" Barbara asked. "Just so. It won't be for always, you know, Barbara—only until Dick comes Into his property; and he hasnt asked me to do anything but exactly what he had made up his mind to explain to Auntie, and ask her to giro her consent to. And I feel sure she would have done so, dear Auntie, for she did get so fond of Dick.** "Yes, she did," Barbara agreed. "But Miss Dorothy, you are sure it will be done properly—that you'll be married in church and have your lines, and all that?" "You are to see me married, Barbara." Dorothy answered, simply; "Mr. Harris says so." And after that Barbara gam her eonsent, so to speak, and promised to be true to her trust and stand by dear Miss Dorothy as long as she'livid. "I think the dear mistress would be glad if she knew. Miss Dorothy." •Wis did know, Barbara," said Dorothy, with a tender emtio shining through bar tears. So the two sat together for a long time, talking long, and now and then weeping as some word brought back the memory of their loss. And Dorothy told the faithful servant all the plans that Dick and she had made for the strange and almost unknown future, which seemed so terrible to her who had lived all her life—air that she could remember, at least—under the same roof and guarded by the same tender care. It was so sad to have so little joy In her engagement and her coming marriage, and yet, "You mustn't think that I don't, Jove Dick," she cried to Barbara, when she had another passionate burst of grief over the dead woman lying above. "I do love him with all my heart, and I know that I shall be quite, quite happy by-and-by. But it is all so sudden, so strange and new; everything is going from me at one stroke, and after we go away from Graveleigh I eh»U have nothing but you to remind me of the past at all.

"Besides, Lorna never did belong to the mistress. Her ladyship gave her to you^the dear mistress had naught to do in the matter. Then, Miss Dorothy, dear, aren't you going to tell her ladyship about it?" "Lady Jane last of anybody," dried Barbara—"last of anybody." "I see," said Barbara, with an air of wisdom; but all the same, Barbara did not see anything. She thought the whole arrangement very strange and unusual, and ahe rp.minded herself that In a munlcatJoB to this paper, s a y s doling tift past f e w 4 months » » much has been said and written of Western Canada, and the new provinces forming it, he has been led to give the subject some inquiry, and he has been shown letters written to the Canadian government from delegates sent out by friends to inspect the country. One of these delegates who was sent to Western Canada says: "In undertaking to give a description I fear I shall not be able to give it justice, for 1 hardly know where to begin or when to end. For a plea for my judgment,, X will assume, for an illustration, the experience of a man who went from place to place in search of a wife, and finding so many of good qualities an$ attractions, was unable' to' determine which to choose, so in looking for> a home in Western Canada I like t h i country well, and two of my boys arav going this fall (they have since gone and each has a homestead), where I. am satisfied they will do well. The lands which I have seen are far supc-^ rior in every respect and beyond my expectations. ~Lakes and streams to bo found in all districts abound with innumerable kinds of water fowl, while fish are very abundant. On all sides we see innumerable stacks of grain, proving beyond doubt the fertility of the soil On either side of the track can be seen in addition to the grain herds of cattle, horses and flocks of sheep. I have traveled over a great portion of the Western states and I have seen nothing to compare with this country. One hundred and sixty acres of land are given free to actual settlers, and I saw cases Where as high as $20 per acre nad been cleared in one year. I do pot wish to advise anyone, but as for myself I shall leave as soon as I can arrange my affairs." The agents of the Canadian Government are now at work organ!-. zing excursion parties, and the Department of the Interior at Ottawa, Canada,' will be pleased to supply the information to those who are not Within reach of an agent. ehe had never been mixed up with anything of the kind in her life before, and now that she was being drawn into something distinctly clandestine she did not at all like it/ Still, on the other hand, there was only the prospect of remaining at Graveleigh Hall under David Stevenson, and Barbara cordially detested David, as she had always done. So, between her dislike of David Stevenson and DorotHy's promise and Mr. Harris' wish that she should seejthe marriage take place, Barbara graciously gave her sanction to the private union, and did not try to place any obstacles in the young folks' way. CHAPTER XI. I S S DIMSDALE was laid aWay in Graveleigh churchyard three days lat e r . Everyone, high, low, rich and poor for several miles around the Hall, came to pay the last token of affection and respect to her, and bitter were the tears that fell that day for the just and kind friend who was gone. Naturally a good deal of curiosity was felt about Dorothy's future, and many were the speculations as to whether she would remain at the Hall alone with Miss Barbara or whether she would eventually decide to go to Holroyd, or to take the good-looking officer who had been so frequent a visitor at the Hall for three months past With regard to Dick, there was almost a quarrel, for Dorothy, as a mattor of course^ had invited him to the funeral, as indeed she had asked all her aunt's friends who would be likely to attend tt. Now, Dorothy had not a relation in the world, excepting one cousin, at that time wintering In Egypt, and therefore unable to attend the ceremony. She did not enter the largo drawing-room until the last moment before starting, and than only spoke a few words to those nearest the door. And when the time came for thorn to go, David Stevenson came forward, and, with a very authoritative air, solely due to the presence of his rival offered Dorothy his arm. (To be continued.)

Wing resides at 612 N. Jackson Street, Jackson, Mich.. He is a keeper in the Michigan State Prison, a man of sterling integrity, and whose word is beyond! dispute. He tells the following story of a wonderful escape, and the incidents* connected with the dangerous position in which he was placed. He says, some months ago my attention was attracted by a swelling of my groins, which began to increase m size to such an extent that I was alarmed. It spread down ray legs to my feet, and I was bloated from my waist down, so badly that I could not pull my pants, over my legs, and I had to open my shoes fully two inches before I could get them on. Even my face became puffed up; and my whole system seemed affected. I could hardly drag myself upstairs to unlock my men. I consulted a physician, one of the best in the city. He said the swelling was caused by an irritation of the kidneys, and I commenced treatment with him. ButI seemed to be getting worse. .1 was strongly urged by a friend to try Doana Kidney Fills, and I nnafiy consented.

B u t few farmers appear to be t a k i n g this view of t h e case. A good s u p p l y of ice, next to a good supply of water, is one of the greatest and most needfut luxuries of life, and fortunately a supply costs almost n o t h i n g to t h e farmer who can do his own work a n d h a u l i n g .

The meeting adjourned at four o'clock to meet the last Saturday in February at the home of J. W. Placeway. It was suggested that J.

A.ND»IWS, Publisher PINCKNEY, MICHIGAN If the pension list Is increased during the next five years as it ha* been during the last thirty the government will go bankrupt through its debt of gratitude and wonder what else It was «ver saved for. The girls of a town in Illinois will play football. They will practice in short dresses and play in bloomers. The society and the church of the town are up in arms against this masculinity; but the girls will probably have their own way until they have murdered each other to the last girl. For, of course, having decided to play the manly game, they will play it only as men do. A iflaii will be more grieved for the loss ox & desired object than he could have been pleased with the enjoyment of It; for though the presence of a n imaginary good does not always make us happy, the absence of it may make us miserable; because In the enjoyment of an object we only find that share of pleasure which It is capable of giving us, but In the absence of it we do not proportion our grief to the real value it bears, but to the value our fancies and imaginations set upon Here is a straight tip from a newspaper called Brains. It says there is but one right way to advertise, and that Is to hammer your name, your occupation, your business so constantly, so persistently, so thoroughly into the people's heads that if they walk in their sleep they will constantly turn their steps toward your store. The newspaper is your friend In spite of your criticism. It helps to build up the community that supports you. When the day comes that the newspapers are dead the people are on the edge of the grave with nobody to write the epitaph. It a stomach be not indispensable may not the time come when the scourge of dyspepsia shall be practically unknown? With the abolition of dyspepsia the heresy hunter would find his occupation a thankless one; the unfair critic would leave his bludgeon and coo like a dove; the policeman and the west side conductor would cultivate a memory and the motorman would stop at street crossings in wet weather; the preacher would study St. John more than Jeremiah; cab drivers would consider the rights of pedestrians; even poets would be tolerated as harmless; the anarchist orator would have to earn his living; the demagogue would be out of a job. When the unemployed can become not only self-supporting but wealthproducing, the hardest problem of civilization will be In a fair way to be solved. The colony of Victoria, Australia, has brought about both results by establishing village settlements near swamp lands, and maintaining the settlers while they reclaimed the waste and raised a first crop. Twentyfive hundred families that once were homeless now live In comfort on these formerly worthless lands—and the to" crease in the value of the reclaimed tract has more than covered the government's expenditure. Over such an achievement, philanthropy and finance, who should be better friends than they are, are fully justified In shaking hands. Germans are adopting American machinery for their manufactories and American Ideas as well. The English manufacturer proclaims boldly—probably for the effect It may have upon his workmen—that if he cannot adopt American machinery and methods in Great Britain he will have to shut up shop. The Germans and English may be able to compete with each other with the aid of American machinery and they may be able to excel all the world save this great country from which they are drawing new inspirations. But they cannot go the American pace. Having caught up with them we will pass them—distance them, perhaps— for in all the world there is no such combination of excellence as in these United States of America. TALMAGE'S J S S R M O N . mm ONLY A LITTLE HONEY LA»T SUNDAY'S SUBJECT. *I DM bat Tait* a l i t t l e Hoaey with the Bad of the Rod That TO a* In My Band, and.OLo, I Must Die."—I. Samuel 1 4 : « 8 . Unfortunate borrowers frequently pay such a debt two or three times over, in the form of interest, and then, failing once to yield their moatMy tribute, lose all the belongings of the home, from bed to cooking stove* It is therefore distinctly in line with its purposes that the Salvation Army should propose to open loan offices where a poor man may obtain money, in an emergency, without enslaving himself (or life to a "cutthroat mortgage." Seme churches have already taken the same step in practical Christianity. Since the business will, when honestly and considerately managed, yield a fair return op capital, there seems no good reason why philae- .thropists in every community should not suattft l o keep it out of the hands of scoundrels HE honey-be* It a most ingenious architect, a Christopher Wrenn among i n s ects; geometer drawing hexagons and pentagons, a freebooter robbing the fields of poll e n a n d a r o m a , wondrous creature of God whose biography, written by Huber and Swammerdam, Is an enchantment for any lover of nature. Virgil celebrated the bee in his fable of Aristaeus; and Moses, and Samuel, and David, and Solomon, and Jeremiah, and -EaekleJ, and St. John used the delicacies of bee manufacture as a Bible symbol. A miracle of formation is the bee: five eyes, two tongues, the outer having a sheath of protection, hairs on all sides of its tiny body to brush up the particles of flowers, its flight so straight that all the world knows of the beeline. The honey-comb is a palace such as no one but God could plan and the honey-bee construct; its.cells, sometimes a dormitory and sometimes a storehouse, and sometimes a cemetery. These winged toilers first make eight strips of wax, and by their antennae, which are to- them hammer, and chisel, am' square, and plumbline, fashion them for use. Two and two these workers shape the wall. If an accident happens, they put up buttresses of extra beams to remedy the damage. When about the year 1776 an Insect before unknown, in the night time attacked the bee-hives all over Europe, and the men who owned them were in vain trying to plan something to keep out the invader that was the terror of the bee-hives of the continent, it was found that everywhere the beeB arranged for their own protection, and built before the honeycombs an especial wall of wax with portholes through which '.he bees might go to and fro, but not large j enough to admit the winged combat- j ant, called the Sphinx Atropos. Corrupt literature, fascinating but i deathful, comes in this category. Where one good, honest, healthful book Is read now, there is a hundred made up of rhetorical trash consumed with avidity. When the boys on the cars come through with a pile of publications, look over the titles and noticeTHaTinne_ lnII^T_Teiri>Fllie "bookT" are injurious. All the way from here to Chicago or New Orleans notice that objectionable books dominate. Taste for pure literature is poisoned by this scum of the publishing house. Every book in which sin triumphs over virtue, or in which a glamour is thrown over dissipation, or which leaves you at its last line with less respect for the marriage institution and less abhorrence for the paramour, is a depression of your own moral character. The bookbindery may be attractive, and the plot dramatic and startling, and the style of writing sweet as the honey that Jonathan took up with his rod, but your best interests forbid it, your moral safety forbids, it, your God forbids it, and one taste of it may lead to such bad results that you may have to say at the close of the experiment, or at the close of a mlsimproved lifetime: "I did but taste a little honey with the rod that was in my hand, and, lo, I must die." One would suppose that men would take warning from some of the ominous names given to the intoxicants, and stand off from the devastating influence. You have noticed, for instance, that some of the restaurants are called "The Shades," typical of the fact that.it"puts a man's reputation in the shade, and his morals in the shade, and his prosperity In the shade, and his wife and children in the shade, and his Immortal destiny In the shade. Now, I find on some of the liquor signs in all our cities the words "Old Crow," mightily suggestive of the carcass and the filthy raven that swoops upon it. "Old Crow!" Men'and women without numbers slain of rum, but unburied, and this evil is pecking at their glased eyes, -and pecking at their bloated cheek, and peeking at their destroyed manhood an*d womanhood, thrusting beak and claw into the mortal remains of what was.once gloriously alive, but now morally dead. "Old Crow!" But alas! how aaany take no warning! They make me think of Caesar on. his way to assassination rearing nothing; though his'statue in the hall crashed into fragments at his feet, and a scroll containing the names of the conspirators was thrust into hit hands, yet walking light on to meet the dagger that was to take his life. This infatuation of strong drink is so might in many a man that, though his fortunes are crashing, and his health la crashing and his domestic Interests are crashing, and we hand him a long scroll containing the of perils that await him. he goes straight on to physical, KAd mental, and moral assassination. In proportion as any style of alcoholism it pleasant to your taste and stimulating to your nerves, and for a time iellghtful to all, your physical and mental constitution, is the peril awful. Remember Jonathan and the forbidden honey In the woods at Beth-aven. there Is a complete fascination, in games of hazard or the risking of money on possibilities. It seems as natural for them to bet as to eat. Indeed the hunger for food Is often overpowered by the hunger for wagers. It is absurd for those of us who have never felt the fascination of the wager to speak slightly of the temptation. It has slain a multitude of intellectual and moral giants, men and women stronger than' you or I. Down under Its power went glorious Oliver Goldsmith, and Gibbon, the famous historian, and Charles Fox, the renowned statesman.and in olden times, senators of the United States, who used to be as regularly at the gambling house all night as they were in the halls of legislation by day. Oh, the tragedies of the faro table! I know persons who began with a slight stake in a ladles' parlor, and ended with the suicide's pistol at Monte Carlo. They played with the square pieces of bone with black marks on them, not knowing that Satan was playing for their bones at the same time, and was sure to sweep all the stakes off on his side of the table. State legislatures have again and again sanctioned the mighty evil by passing laws in defense of race tracks, and many young men have lost ail their wages at such so-called "meetings." Every man who voted for such infamous bills has on his hands and forehead the blood of these souls. But in this connection some young converts say to me: "Is it right to play cards? Is there any harm In a game of whist or euchre? Well, I know good men who play whist and euchre, and other styles of games without any wagers. I had a friend who played cards with his wife and children and then at the close, said, "Come, now, let us have prayers." I will not judge other men's consciences, but I tell you that cards are to my mind so associated with the temporal and spiritual ruin of splendid young men, that I would as soon say to my family, "Come, let us have a game of cards," as I would go into a menagerie and say, "Come, let us have a game.of rattlesnake," or Into a cemetery, and sitting down by a marble slab, say to the gravediggers, "Come, let us have a game at skulls." Conscientious young ladies are silently saying, "Do you think card playing will do us any harm?" Perhaps not, but how will you feel If in the great day of eternity, when we are asked to give an account of our influence, some man should say, "I was introduced to games of chance in the year 1898 at your house, and I went on from that sport to something more exciting, and went on down until I lost my business, and lost my morals, and lost my soul, and these chains that you see on my wrists and feet are the chains of a gamester's doom, and I am on the way to a gambler's hell." Honey at the start, eternal catastrophe at the last. Stock gambling comes into the same catalogue. It must be very exhilarating to go into the stock market, and, depositing a small sum of money, run the chance of taking out a fortune. Many men are doing an honest and safe business jn the stock market, and you are an ignoramus if you do not know that It Is just as legitimate to deal in stocks as it is to deal in coffee, or sugar, or flour. But nearly all the outsiders who go there on a financial excursion lose all. The old spiders eat up the unsuspecting "flies. I had a friend who put his hand on his hip pocket and said in substance, "I have there the value of two hundred and fifty thousand dollars." His home is today penniless. What was the matter? Stock gambling. Of the vast majority who are victimized you hear not one word. One great stock firm goes down, and while columns of newspapers discuss their fraud or their disaster, and we are presented with their features and their biography. But where one such famous firm sinks, five hundred unknown men sink with them. The great steamer goes down, and all the little boats are swallowed in the same engulfment. Gambling is gambling, whether in stocks or breadstuffs, or dice, or race horse betting. Exhilaration at the start, but a raving brain, and a shattered nervous system, and a sacrificed property, and a destroyed soul at the last. Toung men, buy no lottery tickets, purchase no prise packages, bet on no base ball game or yacht racing, have no faith in luck, answer no mysterious circulars proposing great income for small investment, drive away the butxards that hover around our hotels trying to entrap strangers. Go out and make an honest living. Have God on your side, and be a candidate for heaven. Remember all the paths of sin are banked with flowers at the start, and there are plenty of helpful hands to fetch the gay charger to your door and hold the stirrup while you mount But further on the horse plunges to the bit in a slough inextricable. The best honey Is not like that which Jonathan took-on the end of the rod and brought to his lips, but that which God puts on the banqueting table of mercy, aUwAlch w * *f* »M in". vited to sit. I was reading'of a boy* among the mountains of Switzerland ascending a dangerous place with his father and the guides. The boy stopped on the edge of the cliff and said, "There is a flower I mean to get." "Come away from there," said the father, "you will fall off." "No," said he, "I must get that beautiful flower," and the guides rushed toward him to pull him back when, just as they heard him say, "I almost have it," he fell two thousand feet. Birds of prey were seen a few days after circling through the air and lowering gradually to' the place where the corpse lay. Why seek flowers off the edge of a precipice when you can walk knee-deep amid the full blooms of the very Paradise of God? When a man may sit at the King's banquet, why will he go down the steps and contend for the refuse and bones of a hound's kennel? Sweeter than honey and the honeycomb," says David, is the truth of God. "With honey out of the rock would I have satisfied thee," says God to the recreant. Here is honey gathered from the blossoms of the trees of life, and with a rod made out of the wood of the Cross I dip it up for all your souls. The poet Hesiod tells of an ambrosia and a nectar, the drinking of which would make men live forever, and one sip of honey from the Eternal {took will give you eternal life with God. Come off the malarial levels of a sinful life. Come and live on the uplands of grace, where the vineyards sun themselves. "Oh, taste and see that the lord is gracious!" Be happy nov/ and happy forever. For those who take a different course the honey will turn to gall. For many things I have admired Percy Shelley, the great English poet, but I deplore the fact that it seemed a great sweetass to him to dishonor God. The poem "Queen Mab" has in it the maligning of the Deity. Shelley was impious enough to ask for Rowland Hill's Survey Chapel that he might renounce the Christian religion. He was in great glee against God and the truth. But he visited Italy, and one day on the Mediterranean with two friends in a boat which was twenty- four feet long he Was coming toward: shore when an hour's squall struck the water. A gentleman standing on shore through a glass saw many boats tossed in this squall, but all outrode the storm except one, in which Shelley and his two friends were sailing. That never came ashore, but the bodies of two of the occupants were washed up on the beach, one of them the poet. A funeral pvre was built on the «ea shore by some classic friends, and the two bodies were consumed. Poor Shelley! He would have no God while he lived, and I fear had no God when he died. "The Lord knoweth the way of the righteous, but the way of the ungodly shall perish." Beware of the forbidden honey! FRENCH A CUKIOUS PEOPLE. They H a r t Vanity, bat Not Pride; Religion, b a t Mot Morality. "The French must be the most cu-^ rious people on earth," writes Lilian Bell In a letter from Paris to the Ladies* Home Journal. "How could even Heavenly ingenuity create a more uncommon or bewildering contradiction and combination? Make up your mind that they are as simple as children when you see their innocent picnicking along the boulevards and in the parks with their whole families, yet you dare not trust yourself to hear what they are saying. Believe that they are cynical, and fin de siecle, and skeptical of all women when you hear two men talk, and the next day you hear that one of them has shot himself on the grave of his sweetheart. Believe that politeness is the ruling characteristic of the country because a man kisses your hand when he takes Heave of you. But marry him, and no insult is too low for him to heap upon you. Believe that the French men are sympathetic because they laugh and cry openly at the theatre. But appeal to their chivalry, and they will rescue you from one discomfort only to offer you a worse. The French have sentimentality, but not sentiment. They have gallantry, but not chivalry. They have vanity, but not pride. They have religion, but not morality. They are a combination of the wildest extravagance and the strictest parsimony. . They cultivate the ground BO close to the railroad tracks that the trains almost run over their roses, and yet they leave a Place de la Concorde In the heart of the city." CHRONIC RHEUMATISM.

Producers of a Guaranteed Remedy Offer to Send Sample Bottles. "Five Drops" U. the name of a simple but effective l^medy for rheumatism, neuralgia,'asthma, and kindred ailments. The trade mark, "5 Drops," Is self-explanatory, as five drops is one dose. The manufacturers of "5 Drops" have thousands of letters from reliable peopie, who have been restored to health by the use of their remedy. Many of these letters have been published, and many more will be gladly sent upon application. Some weeks ago the producers of "5 Drops" offered to send a sample bottle, prepaid, for 25 eeats. They know even a sample bottle will convince any one of it* merits. They were so encouraged by the numerous responses to their first offer that they have decided to renew it for another 30 days. If you are a sufferer send this small amount, 25 cents, without fail today, to the Swanson Rheumatic Cure Co., 167-169 Dearborn st., Chicago. 111., and receive prepaid a sample bottle of "5 Drops."

THE CLARA SCHUMANN LADIES ORCHESTRA ENTERTAINED A CROWDED HOUSE. This combination of musical artists, seventeen in number, -from Boston, gaye a concert at the opera house, on Friday evening last. Tbe lecture association has tbe grateful thanks of the community for providing this en* tertainment, Notwithstanding the representation of being second to no musical organization of the kind proceeded the ladies, and our expectations pitched to the highest point, we were anticipating no such musical feast. The opera house, with a seating capacity of four hundred and twenty, was crowded to its upmost capacity, with an audience of six hundred people, many of whom drove a distance oMen to fifteen miles. Every member of tbe orchestra is an artist of the first class and each seemed ambitious to out do tbe others, if possible in rendering her part and pleasing the audience, and in tbis each seemed to be successful, for exclamations of "That was the best of all" were heard after each selection. While some of the music was of tbe "heavy" kind, nothing was tfiven that was not thoroughly relished and appreciated. The program opened with the "Detroit Journal March" after which the orchestra kindly respondended twice to an encore* The trombone and violin iolos by Oda Rudolph and Zita Mc Donough. respectively, were masterpieces of musical art. One of the most interesting numbers was "In the Clock Store" by the entire orchestra. The ticking of the various clocks was easily distinguished, after tbe clerk wound them up. Tbe effort produced when the various clocks be^an srriking the hours, was grand. After a clock "ran down," the clerk wound it attain, when sweet cathedral cuiim-s were heard far away. Mane Deiafontainu, soprano, sang "Saran Rose" ind an encore, and if any one present ever henrd sweeter singing, he had forgotten it. Two numbers on a harp were given wit beautiful effect A selection in which was heard a crying baby, followed by a good spankirig, captured every one. Another selection as an encore entitled "A Hot Time in the Old Town Tonight" was excellent although not new to the people in this vicinity. The concert closed with the "Stars and Stripes Forever." Every part merited and received generous applause, including the magnificient manner in which he controlled the orchestra in the difficult parts. The association realized $70 from the sale of single tickets. If tbe orchestra should come this way again, the mayor of our own city has instructions to hand over the keys and give immediate possession. Local Dispatches. Next Monday is Valentine Day. Hon. G. W.

Twelve Business Place* Destroyed by Fire—Slaughter of Hears at Clare— •A Deserted Wife Commit* Suicide— An Aged Gay Deceiver Caught. Killed Four Beam !u Half an Hoar. William Poat, who lives seven rrA'i from Clare, has made a new bear-hum, ing record. Ho was examining a hu; . tree that had blown over with upturned roots, when a good-sized bear came out. Mr. Poat "plumed" him. No sooner had the echo of the shot died away, before another bear came from another side and a shot from the rifle soon silenced this one also. Mr. Poat thought he would get his game together and prepare to go home. As he attempted to extricate the first bear, another stuck his snout out. Mr. Poat grabbed his gun and with one shot laid No. 3 dead at his feet. He again began to pull one of the dead bears from the hole, when a gruff growl was was heard and one of the largest shebears ever seen there came out for a fight. The next moment she was dead. The whole butchery occupied less than $5 minutes and only four shots were fired. Fin* Residence Burned at Flint. A disastrous fire at Flint reduced to ashes the home of Frank M.

The fire started in the bakery and grocery of George C. Ebbert, and spread with great rapidity to the ad- Joining buildings, which burned like inder, a n d ^ was soon evident the entire row of buildings mus The--, heat was so intense it cracked the glass in all the store windows on the opposite side of the square, and if the buildings had not all been covered with snow there would not be a dozen bwUVdings left in the village. There was much excitement and many narrow escapes but no one seriously injured. The total loss is 925,000. A Guilty Conscience.

In speaking of the financial question the President said: "There is another duty resting upon the national government —'to coin money and to regulate the value thereof.' This duty requires that our government shall regulate the value of its money by the highest standards of commercial honesty and national honor. The money of the United States is and must forever be unquestioned and unassailable." President Dole Received at Washington President Dole, of Hawaii, arrived at Washington, and on behalf of the government was welcomed to the national capital by Secretary Sherman and Assistant Secretary Adee, who greeted President and Mrs. Dole and their party on their train. There was a brief and informal exchange and then the party filed out to the waiting carriages. Mr. Sherman offered his arm to Mrs. Dole and escorted her to President McKinley's carriage and the party proceeded to the Arlington hotel, where the Hawaiian executive will be the nation's guest President McKinley's call on Mr. Dole was entirely formal and did not last longer than 15 minutes Mr. Dole returned the visit of President McKinley. A Paragraphic Chroalcle of the Aote of the Nation's Lawmakers. The discussion on the Indian appropriation bill, which has passed the House, covered a wide range of subjects from silver to the Cuban question. Rep. llartman (Silver lie p.. Mont.) found occasion to denounce the conduct of the Republican party, lie declared that the majority of the House were mere puppets of Speaker Reed, and denounced the speaker as a tyrant. Mr. De Armond (Dem., Mo.) criticised the Cuban policy of the administration and with tine sarcasm, ridiculed the ofllcial explanation of the visit of the battleship Maine to Havana. Mr. Dolliver (Rep., la.) replied eloquently to both. He referred to the Cuban insurrection during the terms of President Grant and said that after seven years of responsibility, anxieties und worry, in a mes- «a«o to congress Grant vindicated the policy of this administration and gave the country warning that any intervention in the affairs of Cuba would not only be unwise but injurious. "For my part." said Mr. Dolliver, "I do not aspire to a larger patriotism than that which governed the ofllcial career of U. 8. Grant." In reference to the attack on Speaker Reed he said: "There is no authority that constrains the *Republican majority here except the policy of the Republican party and the administration of a Republican President. It is true we have a leadership in this House and I for one have often felt a sense of satisfaction that we have a leadership of brains and character that men may follow and follow without loss of s^lf-respect." Silver had an innings in the Senate. The Teller resolution, the debate upon which is considered as the preliminary lining up for the presidential battle of 1900, was passed after the discussion had continued for a week. It was at all times of an animated character and often assumed a strongly acrimonious phase. The resolution is a practical reaffirmation of that of Stanley Matthews in 1878 and is its follows: "That all the bonds of the United States, issued, or authorized to be issued under said acts of congress hereinbefore recited, are payable, principal and interest, at the option oT~U>e government of the United States, in silver dolof 2¼ lars of the coinage States, containing 41 of standard silver; and store to its coinage such as a legal tender bonds, principal the United grains each that to resilver coins in payment of said and interest, is not in violation of the derogation of the creditor." resolution majorities. 32.

The London Daily Mail says it learns from a source "hitherto accurate," that China is inclined to make the best possible bargains with Russia, whose diplomacy appears to have triumphed at Pekin, England, having resolved not to foroe a conflict by further opposing Russia's claims at Port Arthur and in the Liao-Tuug peninsula.

The Teller resolution declaring bonds of the United States payable in silver, which had passed the Senate, was buried under an adverse majority of 50 votes in the House, the Republicans voting almost solidly against the proposition. The result was reached after five hours of debate tinder a special order. The majority, under the leadership of Mr. Dingley, whp made a carefully prepared speech sounding the keynote of the opposition, assumed the position that the last clause of the resolution was in reality a disguised declaration for the free coinage of silver, while the assaulting Democrats, under the direction of Mr. Bailey, maintained thi»t the defeat of the resolution would be another step in the direction of the establishment of the gold standard, to which they alleged both the President and Secretary Gage had irrevocably committed the Republican party. There were no sensational incidents beyond the hissing of Mr. Rhea, of Kentucky, when he said that as the author of the "crime of *73." the hottest place in hades would be reserved for the present secretary of state. The vote on the resolution was: Ayes, 132; nays, 182.

"By what right?" demanded David, In a bitter undertone. "By the right of Miss Strode's wish, sir," put in Dick, icily, "and in some measure by the right of having been the last person to whom Miss Dlmsdale spoke In this world, and in some measure by the right of having been one of the three persons who saw her die." It was all over in a minute or two, and only those standing very near to them heard a word at all. Dick took hold of Dorothy's hand and drew her out of fthe room, and the rest of the company followed as they would— David Stevenson among them, his head well up in the air, but his eyes gleaming with anger, and his face as white as chalk. However, it was useless to show anger about such a matter, and the incident passed by. And when the last sad office was over, the lar*;e company separated, only the lawyer from Colchester returning to the Hall to muke the usual explanations and to read ;he will to Dorothy. "And are you going to remain here for the present?" he asked the girl kindly. "Oh, no, I am going away at once," she answered. "But may I ask where?" he inquired. "Yes; we are going away, Barbara and I, for a change—I must get away; it is dreadful here. I hope I shall never come back again." "You will feel differently after a time," said the lawyer, kindly; he knew how things were with David Stevenson, though not what Dorothy's feelings towards him were. The three were alone then, Dick Aylmer having purposely abstained from appearing at the house after their return from the churchyard; he was, indeed, at that very moment, sitting by the fire in Barbara's little room at the back of the house. "Yes, perhaps, after a time," she answered feverishly. "But, Mr. Marks, I wanted to ask you a question—Mr. Stevenson told me that I should have about a thousand pounds?" "About that, I should think; but we cannot tell exactly until Miss Dimsdale's affairs are settled." "But will you get them settled at once? I want to have everything set-- tled," she said anxiously. "You see, I cannot arrange anything for myself until I know just how I stand, and I should like to know just what I shall be able to do as soon as possible." "Very well, we will hurry everything on as much as possible," said Mr. Marks to David; "Miss Dimsdale's affairs were in perfect order." "Oh! yes, It will be easy enough," said David; then as the lawyer was gathering his papers together, he said in an undertone to her: "You are very anxious to shake the dust of Graveleigh off your feet, Dorothy."

During this time their banns were published in one of the churches at Bournemouth and also In a London church, in the pariah of which Dick engaged a room and put therein some of his belongings, so as to make himself a standing in the place. But Dick was only at Bournemouth for those two days, and twice when David Stevenson was in Colchester on business he happened to meet him in the street, not a little to his relief. And Mr. Marks meantime worked away, and, for a lawyer, really hurried things up in a wonderful way, so that by the time Dorothy's twenty-first birthday came everything was settled, and he was ready to hand over to her the money to which she was entitled under her aunt's will. Mr. Marks therefore wrote to her, telling her that he was ready to hand over to Barbara the sum of one hundred pounds; to her, Dorothy, a sum of thirteen hundred and forty-five pounds, the sum left over and above after all expenses had been paid. He asked her also when she and Barbara would be able to meet him and Mr. Stevenson, the executor of Miss Dimsdale's will. Dorothy replied at once that she would be in London two days later, and if it suited them both would meet them there—would he write to Mr. Morley's Hotel, to say if that would be convenient? And eventually they did meet at Morley's Hotel, and Dorothy and Barbara signed the necessary papers, heard the necessary explanations, and from that moment were absolutely free of all connection with Graveleigh for ever, if they so wished. "You will put that check into a proper bank," said Mr. Marks to Dorothy. "Yes," Dorothy answered, "It will go to the bank before three o'clock." "And remember, if at any time there is any little matter that I can do for you or any advice I can give you, you •ca'tt write to me as a friend, and I will always do my best for you," the old lawyer said. "Thank you so much," cried Dorothy, pressing his hand affectionately. The old man blinked his eyes a little,_ j>aJ^ejiMvej^jsJiojildj^^^ and then took himself rather noisily away, with a kindly hand-shake to Barbara. Then it was David's turn to say goodbye. "I wanted to tell you, Dorothy," he said, huskily, "that I bought the old cobs, as you wished, and they will have an easy berth in my stables as long as they live. And I wanted to tell you, too, that I meant every word of what I said to you the day after Miss Dimsdale died: If ever you want me you have only to say a single word and I shall come." "You are very good, David," said she, with trembling lips. "I don't know what you are going V do or what your plans are," he went on, "but I hope you will be happy, and that God will bless you, wherever you are and whatever you do;" and then he bent,down and kissed her little, slender hands, and, without looking at her again, rushed out of the room.

If t h e / were CHAPTER XII. OOR Dorothy fell sobbing into Barbara's arms. "Oh! Barbara, it is all s o d r e a d f u l ; it Is all so dreadful; it brings it all back again." she wailed. "Nay, nay, my »v dearie, think of what's going to be tomorrow," Barbara murmured, tenderly. "Don't grieve like this, my dearie; don't, now." "But I can't help grieving a little, Barbara," Dorothy cried, impatiently. "You forget what they have been all my life to me until just now. And Auntie wanted me to marry David almoBt to the last, and though I couldn't do that, he has been very kind and generous to me, and I hate not to be friends with him, after all. And then I meant to tell him a little about Elsie Oarrington, and then each time I've seen him I have felt so miserable and so guilty, Barbara, that I could have cried of shame. Yes, in-, deed, I could." "Well, but. my dearie, it's over now, and David Stevenson would not have been satisfied to have you friends with him. Men never are when they want love. And. after all, it wasn't your fault that you never liked David; I never could abide him myself, and I's* sure, Miss Dorothy, dear, that you detested him long enough before you ever set eyes on Mr. Harris." "But, Auntie—," Dorothy sobbed. "I'm sure the dear mistress was ths last one in all the world to have knowingly made you miserable about David Stevenson or any other gentleman on earth," Barbara answered, positively. "But what did you want to tell me about Miss Carrington, dearie?" "Elsie always liked him," Dbrothy began, when the old servant Interrupted her. "Nay, now, Miss Dorothy, take my advice and don't you be meddling between David Stevenson and Miss Carrington. They wouldn't either of them thank you for it if they knew It, and if you was to mention her name even it would set Mr. David against her forever.

"Perhaps you are right, Barbara," said Dorothy, a little comforted. "Ay, I am right there," said Barbara, wisely. Well, the next day Dick Aylmer came up from Colchester with all the deight of a long leave before him, and in the wildest and most joyous spirits, so that Dorothy was fairly infected by his gayety. That evening he took her and Barbara to dine at Simpson's, and then to a theater to finish up the evening. And the morning following that, Dorothy, dressed in a quiet gray, gown, with her silver belt around her waist, got into a cab with the old servant and drove to the church where their banns had been "cried," and there they met Dick, and the two were made man and wife. It was a very quiet and solemn wedding in the gloomy, empty church, with its dark, frowning galleries and its long, echoing aisles, down which their voices seemed to travel as into he ages of eternity. And then when the short ceremony was over—and oh: what a lifetime of mischief a clergyman can do in twenty minutes—Dick kissed his wife and then Dorothy kissed Barbara, and they all went in to sign the registers. "You'll have your lines, Miss Dorothy," urged Barbara. "No, they arg safe enough here," Dorothy replied. "But I wouJAphave them, my dear," Barbara e n t r M W in a whisper. "Yes, we wllr^have our lines," said Dick; he would agreed to have carried the church along if it would have given them pleasure, he was so happy just then.

And after that they parted for a short time, Dorothy and Barbara going off t o Morley's to fetch their Luggage and pay their bill, and meeting Dick again with his belongings at Victoria Station, where they parted in earnest from Barbara, who was going to spend the two months with various friends and relations in or around London. "And Barbara, this will keep you going till we get back," said Dick, slipping twenty pounds into her hand. "But, Mr. Harris," cried Barbara, feeling that there were four notes, "it's too much; I shan't need it." "Take it while you can get it, Barbara,** he laughed; "I dare say we shall be desperately hard up by the time we get back again;", and then the train began to move, and he pushed her hand back. "Good-bye, you have the address: Mrs. Harris will write every week;" and then the train had slipped away beyond speaking distance. "Poor old Barbara!" she cried. Dick caught hold of her hand. "My darling, I have got you t i l to myself at last," be murmured passionately. They were soon away from London and off to Dover, for Dick had foreign leave, and they had agreed to spend the next two months by the sunny shores of the Mediterranean. (To be Continued.)

The Government furnishes the entire plant, puts it In and operates it without direct cost to the farmer From the sale of the butter the Government retains 5 cents per pound, the balance going to the farmer. This is continued for three years, when the government tarns over the plant and business to the farmers, giving them a clear Title of It, Thus these creameries are put i n at a minimum cost to the farmer and paid for in a way that he least feels it.

" * TALMAGE'S SERMON. "MEN AND WOMEN NEEDED," LAST SUNDAY'S SUBJECT, " W h o K u o w e t h W h e t h e r T h o u Art Coiue to t h e Klufftloiu for Nuoli m Tlmu a i T a l i " — E i t h e r , Chapter IV. Vera* 14. ,^e * Moral beauty cannot co-exist with radical defects of principle. The character that is unable to resist temptation,' or vnviUIng to stick faithfully to duty, is uo more truly beautiful, •whatever be its generous impulses or amiable traits, than a figure which cannot support its own weight. Parts of it may be admirable; but, as a whole, a unity, it cannot be rightly called a beautiful character, for it lacks the foundation. Rev. Edith Booker is delivering a lecture through Kansas on "What Is a Man?" A man, dear Edith, is a tender, shrinking creature, whose wide I fawn eyes look out into the great whirl j about him with startled inquiry—an I Innocent, trusting dove, nestling upon ; the neck of a hard world—a sweet field , flower, lifting up its face for the sunahtne of your womanly affection. That i Is what a man is, Edith. You your- j self are the sturdy oak. Don't forget , that. Rational protests against legislative ! Invasions of personal liberty are never untimely. The disposition to run to the legislature for 'a law to cure evils j that are not to be cured in that way Is : a growing thing. In a vast majority 1 of instances a law to cure an evil affecting private persons causes graver faults than it is intended,to cure. It is nonsense to say officials will never take wrong advantage of unwarranted authority placed In their hands. Human nature has not changed in all the centuries and men are as ready to abuse or usurp authority now as, at any time in this world's history. The Manchester Guardian, which has the reputation of bein^g one of the best Informed of English journals, gives the world to understand that John Bull is still doing business at the same old stand, and proposes to protect his patents and copyrights, with his accustomed intelligence and vigor. All he demands now is that, If China Is hanged, drawn and quartered, he shall have a slice for every slice taken by every other power. For example, Germany grabs, then Eigland grabs as much; Russian takes something, then Fngland takes a portion: France absorbs a province, then England appropriates one equally as large and powerful. Good and healthy girls are almost always cheerful.. No novelist would consider his youthful heroine complete if a "ringing laugh" were omitted from the list of her charms; and in real life the girls who do not laugh now and then are seldom trusted or liked by their companions. Even beauty will not save them. A belle who fails to understand the jest of her admirers and smiles in amiable bewilderment while other people are laughing is soon left with no consolation save to wonder what anybody can see in her rival —a girl with "tip-tilted" nose perhaps, and a large mouth and freckles, but the happy possessor of a pair of merry eyes and a cheerful mind. The gift of gayety is indeed of great value; but i t must be gayety which originates in a kind and cheery heart, not that which is born of mere excitement or gratified vanity. STHER the beautiful was the wife of A h a s u e r u s the abominable. The tlmo had come for her to present a petition to her infamous husband in behalf of the Jewish natlon.to which she had once belonged. She was afraid to undertake the work, lest she should lose her own life; but her cousin, Mordecai, who had brought her up, encouraged her with the suggestion that probably she had been raised up of God for that peculiar mission. "Who knoweth whether thou art come to the kingdom for such a time as this?" Esther had her God-appointed work. You and I have ours. It is my business to tell you what style o{ men and women you ought to be rn order that you meet the demand of the age In which God has cast your lot. So this discourse will not deal wkh the technicalities, but only with the practicabilities. When two armies have rushed into, battle, the officers of either army do not want a philosophical discussion about the chemical properties of human Wood or the nature of gunpowder; they want some one to man the batteries and take out the guns. And now, when all the forces of light and darkness, of heaven and hell, have plunged into the fight, it is no time to give ourselves to the definitions and formulas and technicalities and conventionalities of religion. What we want is practical, earnest, concentrated, enthusiastic and triumphant hi In the first place, lnju?4er to nieet the special demand ,or this age,/ you need to be an unmistakable, aggressive Christian. Of half-aAd^aJfChfistians we do not want any moreT^The church of,Jesus Christ will be better without them. They are the chief obstacle to the church's advancement. I am speaking of another kind of Christian. All the appliances for your becoming an earnest Christian are at your hand, and there is a straight path for you into the broad daylight of God's forgiveness. You may this moment he the bondmen of the • world, and the next moment you may be princes of tbe.Lord God Almighty. You remember what excitement there was in this The dogs in the United States kill nearly 2 per cent of the sheep of the country every year. They killed more than 600,000 sheep in the year ending June 1, 1890, when the last statistics in regard to the flocks were gathered. The damage done by them is greater than that from any other cause except unexpected storms, in which whole flocks of sheep are killed, and disease. In six states more damage was done to the flocks of sheep by dogs'than by anything else. In Florida 9,833 •heep were killed by dogs, and only 4,750 by the weather and disease. The number killed by dogs was about 9 per cent of the total aumber of sheep in the state. The Florida sheep are not exposed to such changes in tempecsvtuve as those on the farms in Nevada, where 128,860 died of cold and disease. Only 7,372 sheep were killed by dogs in Nevada in the census year. The enormous number of deaths from changes In the weather was due t* unprecedented storms, which caught the breeders unprepared and almost halved their flocks. In South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, Louisiana, and Arkansas dogs do more damage to the sheep than anything else, and more than weather conditions and disease combined. In Massachusetts. Rhode Island and Connecticut the number of deaths in the flocks due to dogs is almost the same aa that due to disease and the weather. The record is almost at bad in all other states whew and sheep are country, years ago, when the Prince of Wales came here—how the people rushed out by hundreds of thousands to see him. Why? Because they expected that some day he would sit upon the throne of England. But what was all that honor compared with the honor to which God calls you—to be sons and daughters of the Lord Almighty; yea, to be queens and kings unto God. "They shall reign with him forever and forever." I was once amid the wonderful, bewitching cactus growths of North Carolina. I never was more bewildered with the beauty of flowers, and yet when I would take up one of these cactuseB and pull the leaves apart the beauty was all gone. You could hardly tell that it had ever been a flower. And there are a great many Christian people in this day just pulling apart their Christian experiences to see what there is in them, and there is nothing left in them. This style of self-examination is a damage instead of an advantage to their Christian character. I remember when I was a boy I used to have a small piece In the garden that I called my own, and I planted corn there, and every few days I would pull it up to see how fast It was growing. Now, there are a great many Christian people in this day whose self-examination merely amounts to the pulling up of that which they only yesterday or the day before planted. Oh, my friends, If you want to have a stalwart Christian character, plant It right out of doors in the great field of Christian usefulness, and though storms may come upon it, and though the hot sun of trial may try to consume it, it will thrive until it becomes a great tree, in which the fowls of heaven may have their habitation. I have no patience with these flower-pot Christians. They keep themselves under shelter, and all tteir Christian experience in a small, exclusive circle, when they ought to plant it In the great garden of the Lord, so that the whole atmosphere could be aromatic with their Christian usefulness. What we want in the church ot God is more strength of piety. The century plant if wonderfully suggestive and wonderfully beautiful, but I never look at it without thinking of its parsimony. It lets whole generations go by before it puts forth one blossom; so I have really more admiration when I see the dewy tears fa the blue eyes of the violets, for they come every spring. My Christian friends, time is going by so rapidly that we can not afford to be Idle. Agaltt. if you want to be qualified to meet the duties which this age demands of you, you must, on one hand, avoid reckless iconoclasm, and, on the other hand, not stick too much to thlngBvbecause they are old. The air IB full of new plans, new projects, new theories of government, new theologies, and I am amazed to see how so many Christians want only novelty in order to recommend a thing to their confidence; and so they vacillate and swing to and fro, and they arc useless and they are unhappy. New plans—secular, ethical, philosophical, religious, cis-Atlantlc, trans-Atlantic — long enough to make a line reaching from the German universities to Great Salt Lake City. Ah, ray brother, do not take hold of a thing merely because it is new! Try It by the realities of the Judgment Day. But, on the other hand, do not adhere to anything merely because It is old. There is not a single enterprise of the church or the world but has sometime been scoffed at. There was a time when men derided even Bible societies, and when a few young men met In Massachusetts and organized the first missionary society ever organized In this country, there went laughter and ridicule all around the Christian church. They said the undertaking was preposterous. And so also the work of Jesus Christ was assailed. People cried out, "Who ever heard of such theories of ethica and government? Who ever noticed such a style of preaching as Jesus has?" Ezekiel had talked of mysterious wings and wheels. Here came a man from Capernaum and Gennessaret and He drew His Illustrations from the lakes, from the sand, from the mountain, from the lilies, from the cornstalks. How the Pharisees scoffed! How Herod derided! And this Jesus they plucked by the beard and they spat in His face, and they called Him "this fellow!" All the great enterprises in and out of the church have at times been scoffed at, and there have been a great multitude who have thought that the chariot of God's truth wptfld fall to pieces if it once got the ola rut. And so there are those who have no patience with anything like improvement in church architecture, or with anything like good, hearty, earnest church Binglng, and they deride any form of religious discussion which goes down walking among everyday men, rather than that which makes an excursion of rhetorical stilts. Oh, that the church of God would wake up to an adaptability of work! We must admit the simple fact that the churches of Jesus Christ in this day do not reach the great masses. There are fifty thousand people in Edinburgh v/ho never hear the Gospel. There are one million people in London who never hear the Gospel. The great majority of the inhabitants of -this capital coare~noT"under t h e l m 7 " mediate ministrations of Christ's truth, and the Church of God in this day, instead of being a place full of living epistles, known and read of all men, is more like a dead-letter postoffice. "But," say the people, "the world is going to be.converted; you must be patient; the kingdoms of this world are to become the kingdoms of Christ." NeVer, unless the church of Jesus Christ puts on more speed and energy. Instead of the church converting the world, the world is converting the church. Here is a great fortress. How shall it be taken? An army comes and sits around about it, cuts off the supplies, and says: "Now we will just wait until from exhaustion and starvation they will have to give up." Weeks and months, and perhaps a year pass along, anfck-nnally the fortress surrenders through that starvation and exhaustion.VBytft, my friends, ftie fortresses of sin are never to be taken in that way. If they are taken for God it will be by storm; you will have to bring up the greaC siege guns of the Gospel to the very wall and wheel the flying artilleryjjnw line, and when the armed infantry of heaven shall confront the battlements you will have to give the quick command: "Forward! Charger Ah, my friends, there is work for you to do and for me to do in order to this grand accomplishment. I have a pulpit. I preach in it. Your pulpit is the bank. Your pulpit is the store. Your pulpit is the editorial chair. Your pulpit is the anvil. Your pulpit is the house of scaffolding. You pulpit is the mechanics' shop. I may stand in my place and, through cowardice or through self-seeking, may keep back the word I ought to utter; while you, with sleeve rolled up and brow besweated with toil, may utter the word that will jar the foundataions of heaven with the shout of a great victory. Oh, that we might' all feel that the Lord Almighty is putting upon us the hands of ordination! I tell you, every one, go forth and preach this Gospel. You have as much right to preach as I have or any man living. Hedley Vicars was a wicked man in the English army. The grace of God came to him. He became an earnest and eminent Christian. They scoffed at him and said: "You are a hypocrite, you are as bad as ever you were." Still he kept his faith In Christ, and after a while, finding that they could not turn him aside by calling him a hypocrite, they said to b'm: "Oh, you 1 am nothing but a Methodist!" Thli did not disturb him. He went on per forming his Christian duty until h« had formed all his troops Into a Bible class, and the whole encampment waB shaken with the presence of God. So Havelock went Into the heathen temple in India while the EngliBh army was there and put a candle into the hand of each of the heathen gods thai stood around in the heathen temple, and. by the light of those candles held up by the idols Gen. Havelock preached righteousness, temperance, and Judgment to come. And who will isay on earth or in heaven that Havelock had not the right to preach? In the minister's house where I prepared for college there worked a man by tin. name of Peter Croy. He could neither read ^dr^write, but he was a man ol God. Often theologians would stop in the house—grave theologians—and at family prayer Peter Croy would be called upon to lead; and all those wise men sat around, wonder-struck at his religious efficiency. When he prayed he reached up and seemed to take hold of the very throne of the Almighty, and he talked with God until the very heavens were bowed down into the sitting-room. Oh, if I were dying I would rather have plain Peter Croy kneel by my bedside and commend my immortal spirit to God than the greatest archbishop arrayed in costly canonicals. Go preach this Uot-pel. You say you are not licensed. In the name of the Lord Almighty, 1 license you. Go preach this Gospel, preach it in the Sabbath schools, in the prayer-meetings, in the highways, in the hedges. Woe be unto you if yon preach it not! I prepare this sermon because I want to encourage all Christian workers in every possible department. Hosts of the living God, march on! march on! His spirit will bless you. His shield will defend you. His sword will strike for you. March on! march on! The despotisms will fall, and paganism will burn Its Idols, and Mahometanism will give up its false prophet, and the great walls of superstition will come down In thunder and wreck at the long loud blast of the Gospel trumpet. March on! march on! The besiegement will soon be ended. Only a few more steps on the long way; only a few more Bturdy blows; only a few more battle cries, then God will put the laurels upon your brow, and from the living foundation of heaven will bathe off the sweat and the heat and the dust of the con- , tlict. March on! march on! For you the time for work will soon be passed, and amid the outfiashings o£ the judgment throne and the trumpeting of resurrection angels and the upheaving of a world of graves, and the hosanna and the groaning of the saved and the lost, we shall be rewarded for our faithfulness or punished tor our Htupldity. Blessed be the Lord God of Israel from everlasting to evorlasting, and let the whole earth be filled with his glory. Amen and amen. COOLNESS IN THE PULPIT. Probably Saved H CoHjcrfgatioin froao Panic and I.) I Hunter. Already vastly popular with his congregation, Rev. Arthur Wellwood of Brooklyn, raised himself still higher in general estimation on a recent Sunday, when his coolness in the presence of danger probably averted a wild stampede from the Church of the Incarnation. Although there were indications of impending disaster, the people, acting upon his advice, filed out of the church in an orderly manner to find a fire engine pouring water into the cellar through a front window. Shortly after 11 .o'clock smoke began to pour up through the registers. The assistant pastor, Rev. Arthur Wellwood, went down to the cellar to see if the furnace was smoking. He was alarmed to find the cellar full of smoke, so dense that he could not go inside. He ran out and turned in an alarm. Then he walked rapidly up the aisle, and after whispering to the officiating clergyman, said aloud: "The furnace seems to be smoking worse than usual. I think the congregation had better retire to allow us to open the windows." The people, assured by his calmness, retired In good order, but became somewhat alarmed when they saw the engines and firemen in the street. ARE YOU TO LIVE IN ALASKA? I t A p p l i e d t o B o t h . Mr. Justice Maule once went on circuit with Judge Coler;idge in a part of the country where the high sheriff was a shy and modest man and very much alarmed at having to entertain his cynical lordship. Coming home in his coach with the two judges, he thought it his duty to make conversation for them. He observed that he hoped there would be better weather, as the moon had changed. "And are you such a fool, Mr. JoneB, as to imagine that the moon has any effect on the weather?" said Maule. "Really, Brother Maule," said Coleridge, who was politeness Itself, "you are very hard upon our friend. For my part, I think the moon has a considerable effect upon it." "Then." said Maule, "you are as great a fool as Jones is." After which conversation in the sheriff's carriage languished.—Rochester Democrat and Recorder. Home R«u.ulrein«uta T h a t Will He r o u n d ludUpcuaable. The universal article of diet in that country, depended upon and indispensable, is bread or biscuit. And to make the bread and biscuit, either in the camp or upon the trail, yenst cannot be used—it must be baking powder; and the^ powder •manufactured by the processes of the Royal Baiting Powder Company, miners unci prospectors have learned, is the only one which wMU stand In that peculiar climate of eold and dampness and raise the hvvjfii and bi'«uit satisfactorily. These facts are very important for every one proposing to go to Alaska and the Yukon country to know, for should he be persuaded by some outfitter to take one of the cheap brands of baking powder, it will cost just as much to transport It, and then when he opens it for use, after all his labor in packing It over the long and difficult route, he will find a solid caked,mass or a lot of spoiled powder, with no strength and useless. Such a mistake might lead to the most serious results. Alaska is no place in which to experiment in food, or try to economize with your stomuch. For "use In such a climate, and under the trying and fatiguing conditions of life and labor in that country, everything must be the best and most useful, mid above all It is imperative that all food supplies shall have perfect keeping qualities. It Is absurd to convey over s'ich difficult and expensive routes an article that will deteriorate in transit, or that will be found when required for use to have lost a great part o; its value. There is no better guide to follow in these matters than the advice of those who have gone through similar experience. Mr. McQuesten, who is called "the father of Alaska," after an experience of years upon the trail, in the camp, and in the use of every kind of supply, say3: "We find in Alaska that the Importance of a proper kind of baking powder cannot be overestimated. A miner with a can of bad baking powder is almost helpless In Alaska. We have tried all sorts, and have been obliged to settle down to use nothing but the Royal. It is stronger and carries further at first, but above all things, it is the only powder that will endure the severe climatic changes of the arctic region." It is for the same reasons that the United States government in Its relief expeditions, and Peary, the famous arctic traveler, have carried the Royal Baking Powder exclusively. The Royal Baking Powder will not cake nor lose its strength either on board ship or in damp climates, and is the most highly concentrated and efficient of leavening agents. Hence it 1» Indispensable to every Alaskan outfitr Ifcr can be ttftd" ol ffiy :04 the trading cbmpAnJ.ejL in ' Alaska, but should the ntfn^r procure his supplies before leaving* he should r&IS*1 evefy attempt of the outfitter to palm off upon him any of the other brands of baking powder, for they will spoil and prove the cause of great disappointment and trouble. PEDDLERS IN MEXICO. Why an Old W o m a n Wouldn't Sell All Her H o n e y a t One Time. "While traveling, in Mexico a few years ago I had a funny experience with a Mexican vender which goes to show what little business ability the lower classes have," said E. F. Guignon of St. Louis. "I was en route to look at some mines away up In the mountains. At the station where we left the train to take the stage I saw an old woman selling some honey. She did not have more than ten pounds of It altogether and as it looked so good I wanted to buy it all to tak- along with us. I asked our Interpreter to buy it Much to my surprise the old woman would sell him but two boxes, claiming that if she sold it all to him she would have nothing to sell to other people, neither would she have anything else to do during the remainder of the d a y r PADS IN fLOWERS.

F A I L E D . a Could Not Bribe Gomes to Desert the Cuban Cause—Gomes' Bitter Latter. Capt.-Gen. Blanco left Havana for the purpose of t r y i n g t o meet the Cuban i n s u r g e n t cominaoder-iu-chief, Gomez, to see if he could n o t arrange terms of peace. Gomez had written to h i m he would t i v a t for independence w i t h him, und Llanco tried to ^ e t him t o a^ree to a u t o n o m y even at the expense of still larger concessions. He offered to pay Gomez a handsome sum t o leave the island and offered him u safe conduct to a n y port to which he should desire to go. Gomez' a n s w e r was characteristic a n d forcible. He said he w a s astounded t h a t Blanco should make such a dish o n e s t und disgraceful proposal to one w h o had spent 13 years fighting for Cuban independence and w h o for 30 y e a r s had cherished that ideal as the g r e a t e s t of h i s life. Gomez reminded B l a n c o of the base assassination of his son, Francisco Gomez, at the time Maceo w a s killed at Punta Brava, w h i l e under a flag of truce. " D o you t h i n k I can forgive that? Have you eAer been a father? - "Besides these considerations, which o u g h t to h a v e checked you in y o u r s h a m e f u l project, there is another, that is no less clear. I a m not in a position, Gen. Blanco, w h i c h requires t h a t I should be l o o k i n g for a steamer to take me from the island. You had better look for a s t e a m e r yourself, for of the t w o y o u need it the most. Up t o the p r e s e n t day I am on the winner's side." This rebuff led Blanco to leave Jucaro for Munzanillo on his way Jo Havana. I t is said t h a t he will make ano t h e r a t t e m p t to induce Gen. Jesus Rabi, in command of the i n s u r g e n t s in S a n t i a g o de Cuba, to surrender.

Dispatches from Manzanillo confirm t h e reports that the insurgents have burned n e a r l y all the canefields of the plantations a l o n g the coast.

Gov. l'lugree Wins HU Suit to Compel Railroad* to Sell Family Mileage Book* at » Cent* per MUe — Triple Railroad Fatality at Saginaw. Filigree Wins a Notable Victory. Gov. Pingree has won the first round of h i s fight with the Michigan Central Railroad Co. on the question of $20 mileage books, good for the family of t h e purchaser. In t h e governor's suit to compel the company to sell such books. Judge Donovan, of the Wayne circuit court, confirms the position taken by Gov. Pingree- and grants a mandamus to compel t h e railroads to comply with the mileage law of the legislature. In his decision ,1 udge Donovan discusses the case at length. In answer t o t h e plea of the railroad company t h a t the right to fix charges was given t o t h e company by the charter, he indorses the oon.tenjtaon of the complaina n t t h a t the charter only gave the r i g h t to fix rates by bylaws, and t h a t such bylaws must come under the police power, as with hack men, millers, Uquor dealers and others doing public business. By the word of the highest court in like cases in Iowa, Wisconsin, Illinois and Michigan, the conclusion is irresistable t h a t only such charges can be collected as are allowed by the laws of t h e state. A Similar Case Against the Uallroad. Grove Wolcott, a prominent lawyer of Jackson sought to purchase a 1,000- mile ticket at the Jackson ticket office, good for himself and wife, he tendering $80" h r - p a y m e n t . He was—informed t h a t no such tickets were for sale.. Mr. Wolcott then bought and paid full price for a regular ticket to Roscommon, and on his r e t u r n brought suit against the Michigan Central railroad t o test the state law. The case was tried before Justice Woods and has resalted in a verdict for Wolcott, who was awarded 92.55, the difference in t h e cost of the ticket he purchased and the rate at 2 cents a mile. The Michigan Central will appeal. Mlchljfun Club i;iuujuet. The thirteenth anniversary banquet of the Michigan Club will be held in the Auditorum, Detroit, on Washington's birthday.

The dead are: Thomas M. Stewart, a groceryman; Mrs. Elizabeth Moasner. aged 70, of Frankenmuth; Barbara Mossner, aged 26, of Frankenmuth. The fourth occupant of the sleigh, Mrs. Elizabeth Mahncke, also a daughter of Mrs. Mossner, had her right leg broken in three places, and probably received internal injuries. A passenger train from the east, running a t a rapid speed, struck the sleigh as it was fairly on t h e tracks, cutting it louse from the horse, leaving the animal to r u n down the street uninjured. The sleigh was broken into kindling wood. titewart was on his way to his store from delivering goods, and the three women had seated themselves in the sleigh for a ride towards home, not over 50 feet from t h e scene of the accident. Two boys stood near by and saw the rig slowly approaching the tracks and the rapidly moving train bearing down upon it. They shouted several times but t h e driver did not catch the warnings. The four were laughing as the sleigh and its occupants were sent whirling through the air. * Sugar Beet* a Success In Michigan. A bulletin giving t h e results of experimente in the raising of sugar beets in Michigan has been prepared by Profs. Kedzie and Smith of the Michigan Agricultural college.

There were fractures of the skull both front and rear. One blow struck the right eye. both ears were split; and the occipital bone was badly broken.—The—walls and floor of the room were covered with blood.

The Kuropeau Powers Harmonious on the Question of China Cirabblug— Lawless Characters Causing a Ketgn of Terror at skaguay and Dye*. Powers Agreed on Chinese Question. In the British house of lords and in response to a speech by the earl of Kimberly, Premier Salisbury said t h a t England had Waived the demand t h a t Ta-Lien-Wan be made an open treaty port as a condition of the proposed loan, because China objected, until the railroad reached Ta-Lien-Wan w h e n it should be opened. The loan negotiations are still pending. The premier added: " I have received spontaneous assurances from the Russian government t h a t any port they open in China will be open to free commerce, and t h a t similar assurances have been made us by the German government respecting the territory they recently oecupied." Baron von Buelow, the German premier, in addressing the reichstag said: "Our relations with the powers were in no way disturbed by the occupation of , Kiao-Chau. We are in harmony with Russia, whose interests do not conflict w i t h ours anywhere in Europe, and are parallel with ours in Asia. As sincere friends we regard Russia's n a t u r a l development with unenvious sympathy—(cheers)—and France's efforts to obtain fresh trade outlets in Tonquin are quite natural, while It Is far from us to oppose England's just interests in any way or direction. We desire to cultivate relations of harmonious co-operation with Great Britain. (Renewed cheers). Our modest demands have neither menaced the integrity of China nor called for justifiable objections on her part." Baron von Buelow then proceeded to justify t h e acquisition of a point of support in eastern Asia as an absolute necessity, looking to Germany's rapidly growing interests in one of the richest markets of the, world for imports if she did not desire to become a second or third r a t e power in Asia, for every other power, even Portugal and the Netherlands, had territorial possessions there. A TERRIBLE CATASTROPHE. Eleven People Killed, 47 Missing and 10 Injured at a Pittsburg Fire.

The ice company had its ice m a k i n g plant and storage warehouses on the lower floors and the Union Storage LO. occupied the balance of the building with the stored property of innumerable householders and merchants, besides about 400 barrels of whisky in bond. When the tire reached the whisky the stuff exploded, blowing out t h e Mulberry alley wall with awful results.

'Die representatives of the Cuban junta ut New'York have'given out cop» ies of a letter signed " E n r i q u e Duguy De Lome" who is minister of Spain at Washington and addressed, to Jose Canalojas, who went to Cuba last September as Premier Sugasta's personal representative. In this letter t h e Spanish minister refers to President Mc- Kinley as " w e a k and catering to t h e rabble," and as a "low politician, who desires to stand well with t h e jingoes of his party." Horatio L. Rubens, counsel for the Cuban J u n t a saysr "We know absolutely t h a t this letter Js genuine. A man risked his life to obtain it. We do not hesitate to acknowledge t h a t it wfcs stolen from Canalejas. I t is written on the paper of the legation. The handwriting is De Lome's and t h e signature is his. He may deny it until he is black in the face, but it is genuine and everybody who has seen it knows t h a t it is." S-v. The publication of De Lome's letter caused a sensation in official Washington and will undoubtedly soon be followed by Senor De Lome's departure from the United States. At t h e outset there was a disposition to question t h e authenticity of the letter, b u t as b i t by bit the circumstantial evidence accumulated, until it was finally announced officially t h a t the minister declined to deny the authorship of the letter, all doubt was dissipated and the only question that remained was as to the line of action to be pursued by our government toward the offending minister. The w r i t i n g of this letter is unquestionably an offense against t h e amenities of diplomatic relations, and such offenses almost invariably have been regarded in the United States, as in other countries, as sufficient ground for the termination of the official status of the letter writer. The state department has promptly taken hold of the matter. Assistant Secretary Day consulting President McKinley four times during the day,which resulted in a message being sent to U. S. Minister Woodford at Madrid directing him to lay the facts before t h e Spanish government together with the statement t h a t in view of the minister's refusal to deny the authorship of the letter the Spanish government is looked to with confidence to deal with the case properly. This amounts to an invitation to recall the minister, presuming t h a t he himself has not already taken steps to vacate his position. No doubt is entertained of a compliance with t h e implied suggestion, but in case there should be undue delay in acting the state department would feel called upon to move directly in t h e matter and give t h e minister his passports. Dr Lome Forced to Resign. Madrid: At a meeting of the Spanish cabinet, t h e minister for foreign affairs, Senor Gullon. read a dispatch from Senor Dupuy de Lome, t h e Spanish minister at Washington, saying t h a t the published letter to Senor Canalejas was written by him. and t h a t his position, consequently, had become untenable, a n d he begged t h e government to accept his resignation. The cabinet decided to accept the resignation, and it was decided to entrust the first secretary with the conduct of the current affairs of the legation. CUBAN MATTERS WARM1NQ UP. Mob Threatened to Lynch Zola. The trial of M. Zola, t h e famous French novelist, for his denunciation of t h e government in the conduct of the Dreyfus case and the Esterhazy courtmartial, resulted in serious rioting in which attempts were made to mob M. Zola. Count Esterhazy refused to appear in court and the judges refused t o force him t o do so. They also declined to allow certain questions asked by t h e M. Zola's attorneys. M. Casimir-Perier, t h e former president of t h e republic, appeared as a witness, b u t before t a k i n g the oath said t h a t he would not tell t h e truth. These pqints were all adverse to M. Zola who appealed t h a t he be accorded a t least as fair a trial as an assassin would be given. China Will Not Take a Loan. A Pekin correspondent says t h a t it is now understood t h a t China has given u p t h e idea of securing a loan from either Great Britain or Russia owing to their jealousy of each other. China will endeavor to obtain an extension of time for t h e payment of t h e Japanese war indemnity, and in t h e m e a n t i m e will authorize an issue of treasury bonds a t 5 per cent to t h e extent of 100,000,000 taels (878,000,000). Chinese bonds have not t h e very best reputation, however. , I Another Note Sent to Spain and a Vigor- ] ous Reply Received. Madrid: El Heraldo says t h a t Gen. Stewart L. Woodford, the United States minister, presented an official note to the Spanish government, to which Premier Sagasta reponded in vigorous terms. The Madrid correspondent of tj§e London Standard says: Senor Sagasta's response to the official note presented by Gen. Woodford, t h e United States minister, complains of filibustering expeditions and declares t h a t Spain cannot entertain the suggestion for fixing a date for her completion of t h e pacification of Cuba. Pessimistic impressions are now current regarding the relations between Spain and t h e Us>;ted States and have depressed t h e Madrid and Barcelona bourses, PublicjCeeling among all classes is strpng against America. A Washington special says; Premier Sagasta has declined t h e t h i r d o^fer of friendly mediation on t h e p a r t of t h e United States. This information was conveyed in a cipher message received from Minister Woodford b y President McKinley. The message was a- most unusual one. Instead of beinfef addressed t o t h e s e c r e t a r y o f a t a t e , i%, was addressed t o t h e President. This cablegram from Woodford was n o t long, b u t recited t h e fact t h a t Premier Sagasta refused t o admit t h a t Spain ha& reached the end of her rope in Cuba; t h a t she was unable to suppress t h e insmrrettion; t h a t autonomy was a failure; -Ory t h a t she needed the assistance of t h e United States in bringing' t h e Cuban struggle to an end.

Nature has provided a certain amount of work for every organ of the human body; overtax them and disease eventually follows. There is not one portion of our organism that is so overworked as the kidneys; on them is placed the important function of filtering the blood of the impurities which naturally form in the regular action of Iffo and digestion. The kidneys are consequently termed the sewerage of the system; clog up this sewer, ami the blood becomes tainted with poisonous uric acid, which brings on disease in many forms. The back is the first to show this stoppage. From" there comes the warning note; it should be heeded, and the kidneys receive prompt attention. Doan's Kidney Pills will right the action of the kidneys quickly, relieve the back of pains and aches, and cure all troubles of kidneys and bladder. Read the following: Mr. Wm. Nelson is a well-kaown business man of Kalamazoo, lie resides at 822 Portage Street, and his business is that of a grain buyer. He says: '' For five years I have suffered from an inability to urinate, which resulted from what was said to be a stoppage of the bladder. During these years I have taken mineral and electric baths and used other means in expectancy of getting better, but they all proved unavailing. Some months ago I began using Doan's Kidney Pills, which I had heard highly recommended, and I can now say that the flattering reports were not greater than they deserved. I got better right along, and I am free from any trouble s o w . I feel better than I have done for three years past,, If Doan's Kidney Pills were well known all over they would do an immense amount of good." Sold by all dealers—price, 60 cents.

I X m o n t h s had gone by—six glorious and blissfully happy months, during which Mr. and Mrs. Harris kept their secret well, and Dick w a s all the . world to his wife Dorothy. D u r i n g t w o of these m o n t h s they remained abroad, living in the smaller t o w n s o n the Riviera, seeking no interests beyond themselves, but leading a quiet, peaceful life of love, of which neither had become the least weary w h e n Dick's leave was up and it was time for him to go back to his duty. Now, as the 43d were still quartered at Colchester, it became a question of some importance for them to decide where Dorothy should take up her abode after this. Colchester or its immediate neighborhood was, of course, a n impossibility, as her whereabouts might at any moment be discovered, and also Dick's real name. Dick suggested that she might go to Chelmsford and take rooms there for the time; but Dorothy had stayed more than once in that sleepy little town, and it was therefore almost as impossible as Colchester itself. S o finall y they agreed that there was no place in the world like London in which to hide oneself and have a good time all the same, and therefore they CL.me back to town during the last week of Dick's leave, and they took a little flat i n Kensington, just where Dorothy and Barbara could get on very comfortably without any servant, and yet could be near to good shops and a tolerably lively street. "I'm afraid you'll be awfully dull, darling," he said to her when they had taken possession, and his last evening had come, "because, of course, you won't know any one, and you are not at all likely to get to k n o w people." "I shall have Barbara," said Dorothy, smiling bravely. ^ - N "Tea, you'll have BarbaraXbut C a r " bara won't be much company for you," he answered. "I do hate all this conc e a l m e n t I hate leaving you at all, and I h a t e having to live, as it were, on the sly, and I'm afraid always that some one you know or one of the fellows wilt be s e e i n g you, and that they may g e t hold of a wrong idea altogether, and—and—I sometimes feel as if I should like to kill that old savage at Aylmer's Field." "But, Dick dear, nobody will see me, and If they do they will think I am Dorothy Strode still. Remember, I don't know many people in all the world, and none of your officers know me at all, and if they happened to see me with you they wouldn't think anything of it. Really, I wouldn't worry about that if I were you, dearest, and as for my being dull—why, I am never dull. I never have been used to having more than one person at a t i m e - Auntie all my life and now you. I shall get on*splendidIy with Barbara, and I shall always be able to look forward to the days w h e n you will be coming home." "And I shall come like a bird whenever I get the ghost of a chance," he cried, tenderly. "And I," cried Dorothy, "am going to m a k e a study of gowns. I have always been used to m a k i n g my ordinary gowns, and I shall have lots of time, and I am going to begin as soon, as you are gone. I am going to make myself some beautiful tea-gowns; they will make me look married and dignified— they will make you respect me, sir," "But you don't want to look married and dignified,*' h e cried, half alarmed. "Suppose y o u meet some one you know, and—" "I shall not be wearing a tea-gown, Dick," cried Dorothy, with a gay laugh. "Ah! no, no, of course not," he answered, relieved. "All the same, though, did you not tell me the other day that you had a cousin somewhere or other?" "Oh, Esther! Fes, but she," carelessly, "she is in Egypt." "But, m y dear child, she won't be in E g y p t always," he rejoined; "and if s h e comes back to London, which she i s sure to do " "By no means, Dick," interrupted Dorothy, Quietly. "Esther is just as likely to g o off for the s u m m e r to New Zealand or Finland as to come to Lon- n And she would not specially me u p if she did eome here. She is beautiful and rich and very Independent i n her mind, but she is six years older than I a m and thinks very jltttla of family ties. In any case, supposing that I met her in London t o - morrow, she would certainly not try to pry into my affairs, and even if I had your leave to tell her part of the truth she is perfectly safe. I assure you that you need never worry yourself for a single moment about my cousin Esther." So Dick was pacified, and the following day went to Colchester—not in a very happy frame of mind, all the same. "I hate leaving you, Dolly," h e said vexedly, "I hate it. I've a good mind to throw up my commission and trust to Fate and the old savage." "Dick, Dick!" she cried, "how can you be so foolish? Supposing that the 'old savage' did turn round on you and stopped your allowance, where would you be then? If you are in the army you have always the chance of going to India, and I don't k n o w that I would not rather be in India a s Mrs. Aimer than have these dreadful partr ings here." a "No, no!" he cried hastily, "I couldn't take you out there. I've always had a sort of horror of the east, and I would do anything to avoid running any such risk." So he went away with a lump In his throat which made "him glad that he was safe in a cab, leaving Dorothy to face the next week by heself—that is to say, except for Barbara, who was jubilant at having got her long holid a y o v e r and delighted to be at work again. To Dorothy Barbara at this time was a wonderful study of which she w a s never tired. For Barbara had been born and bred in the country, and had lived more years at Graveleigh Hall than Dorothy could remember, and her comments on town people and town ways were something more than amusing. "Ah! they did things in a queer sort of fashion at Halloway. My cousin Joe lives at Halloway—you know, Miss Dorothy—he's a plomber in quite a large way of business and has money in the bank and two children at boarding school learning French and music and Heaven knows what besides. Mrs. Joe used to go out every Saturday night to get her stores in for the week, a s she always said—for Sunday, I used to think. Never did I see such marketings! A quarter of a pound of but- - t e r - a a d - four fresh -eggs,—She regular prided herself on those fresh eggs. My dear,' said I one night to her, 'them eggs have been laid at least a week, and I doubt if I should be far out if I went as far as ten days.' " 'You see, Barbara,' says she, 'you've been used to a country life, with newlaid eggs, and gallons of milk and butter by the stone, and I dare say you feel a bit pinched-like here. But if I'd let myself go in butter and live on new-laid eggs at twopence-ha'penny eajch—well all I can say is, I should have had to rest content without any boarding schools or anything put by In the bank.' "I don't say, Miss Dorothy—Mrs. Harris, ma'am, I should say," Barin her ideas and strict in her uoUons, had been both tender and indulgent to her Uttle orphan niece, and had, moreover, a l w a y s been a clever and capable w o m a n with whom to associate. Then, about a country house there are a l w a y s so many different points of interest. Either the moles have worked at last from the meadow under the 1 hedge and below the, very best bit of the velvet lawn which is the very pride and* delight of your eyes, or the rats have suddenly acquired a pert measure of audacity and have scraped and bitten a new hole in the corn-bin or the newly, filled potato bags, or have gone further and found their way into the principal pantry and created a regular stampede among your servants. Or perhaps you catch one of the sinners in a new trap which cost five and sixp e n c e , ' a n d w h e n you go to see its wicked, hoary( old occupant you feel that if it never catches another, this one is well worth the money. Or if traps and, other means, consisting of horribly smelling poisons suggestive of the infernal regions, fail you, perhaps you have the professional rat-catcher up from the village with his box of sinuous, red-eyed ferrets, and then you have your revenge on the rats. I DRAW T H E L I N E , bara went on, in her w i s e s t tones— "that X should wish to go against my cousin Joe's wife in that respect— a thrifty wife is a crown of gold to a m a n that has to work for a living; but at e g g s that have never seen a hen for nearly a fortnight I do draw the line —to call 'em fresh, that is." Bui although on most evenings D o - rothy used to tell the old servant to bring her sewing and come and sit with her in tue pretty little drawing room, it must be confessed that at this time she found her life dreadfully dull, and a s each day went by she seemed to m i s s Dick in her daily life more and more. For though she had been used to a quiet country home and a quiet country existence, there had always been plenty to interest h e r Miss Dlmsdale, K somewhat eld fashioned, CHAPTER XIV. "I) H E R E is n o end to the interest which hourly crops up out of the unexpected in a country life Perhaps the speckled hen starts laying, or she shows unmistakable sign? of a stronger instinct of maternity than usual. Or one of the cobs casts a shoe, or a wind gets up in the night and tears a large branch off the great weeping willow which shelters the most easterly corn e r o f your garden, where- the—wind sweeps up the keenest, straight from the great North Sea. Or maybe the corner c . the shrubbery, where the mushrooms have always grown, nobody ever knew why, has suddenly bloomed out with broad, pinkish fungi, and you feel as if you had found a fortune, although you know perfectly well that the market value of what you have discovered is not, at fhe outside, more than threepence. Still, that does not lessen your pleasure in the least, and you carry them indoors and present them to every member of your household, your visitors If you h a v e any, your family, and, finally, to your cook, as if—well, as if you were a second Columbus and had discovered a new America. Then in the country you are a neighbor of everybody! If you live as Dorothy Strode had been used to live all jjour life, you know why Janet Wenham was not at church on Sunday, and why Elizabeth Middleham's girl left that nice place at Whittington, and how Elizabeth Middleham cried for days over it, and her girl's intention to take service in London and see life. And you know all about it when Mrs. Jones has her mauve dinner gown dyed chestnut brown, and how it is that the rectory curtains keep clean year after year, although white silk with a delicately tinted stripe would be ruined in three months in some houses. Yes, you know everything about everybody in the country, almost without knowing why you know it. But in town, in London town, it is all so different It is true when you get known in London, the gossiping is nearly as bad as if you were the center of a small village set; but to a girl situated as Dorothy was, London is a social blank. She knew nobody, and nobody knew her. She did not want to know any one, and apparently the inhabitants of the metropolis returned the c o m p l i m e n t Yet, nevertheless, it was terribly dull. Her pretty little flat was on the ground floor of the block of buildings which was dignified with the name of Palace Mansions, so she had people above and people below her. But Dorothy knew them not. There was a sweet-faced lady on the first floor immediately above her, a lady who dressed well and had a sweet-faced little child with her sometimes, and Dorothy fairly yearned over her and longed to say "Good morning" when they met in the common hall of the Mansion. But the sweet-faced lady did not k n o w the exact standing of Mrs. Harris, who lived at No. 4, and i a her dread of e v e n rubbing elbows with "a person" s h e resolutely made her eyes shone and her lips steel whenever she saw the slight, girlish figure approaching her.

We have had beautiful weather on the Yukon this fall and early winter, but. the past week . has been cold, with every indication of its getting colder. I t has been 40 degrees below—that is the coldest; but on account of such a beautiful winter last year, we naturally look for about 70 below before spring. Here in the far north a j e a r ago last winter they had weather that was 72 degrees below. "Grub" has been very scarce t h e past summer on account of the steamers not being able to get up the river, (low water at the artic circle.)

Clement Scott, whose wholesale denunciation of the women of the stage produced 4 shock, has been rebuked so thoroughly that he Is half inclined to call himself Great Scott, with several exclamation points. It ought to be well understood by this time that the merit system has come to stay; that the only change possible is in the direction of its further extension. It is no longer a dream of theorists, but a very practical tact.

From t h e Text, Exodus 4 i » • • F o l l o w i : "And H l i 8Ut«r Stood Afar Off, to WltneM W % ' t Would He D o n e Ulm." to The announcement that the French government would take up the question of a reduction of the French Import, duty on wheat was a large factor In the recent ftse in wheat. The duty amounts to 36.8 cents a bushel. Today in France wheat is worth about $1.65 a bushel, and a repeal of the duty would send the American wheat to the highest point in years. Italy has already repealed a part of its wheat tariff, and the report is confirmed that even Russia is importing wheat. RINCESS THERMUT1S, daughter of Pharaoh, looking out through the lattice of her bathing house, on the banks of the Nile, saw a curious boat on the river. ft had neither oar nor helm, and they would have been useless anyhow. There was only oue passenger, and that a baby boy. But the Mayflower, that brought the Pilgrim Fathers to America, carried not so precious a load. The boat was made of the broad lea\es of papyrus, tightened together by bitumen. Hoats were sometimes made of that material, as we learn from Pliny and Herodotus and Theophrastus. "Kill all the Hebrew children born," had been Pharaoh's order. To save her boy, Jochebed, the mother of little Moses, had put him in that queer boat and launched him. His sister, Miriam, stood on the bank watching that precious craft. She was far enough off not to draw attention to the boat, but near enough to offer protection. There she stands on the bank—Miriam, the poetess, Miri- Theold~courthouse has been deeded to the village of Metamora by Woodford county on the promise that it would be kept up and cared for because of its interesting history. It is one of the most Interesting buildings in Illinois. It was constructed more than half a century ago and many of the leading men of this country have practiced in its rooms. Lincoln practiced there for several years and Adlai Ste- Tenson began his work as attorney in the old building. The eloquence of Ingersoll was often heard in its walls. The building was used as a cofcrthouse up to a year ago, When the county seat '• was moved to Eureka. answer was, "I am going down to bury Moses." And the Lord took this mightiest of men to the top of a hill, and the day was clear, and Moses ran his eye over the magnificent range of country. Here, the valley of Esdraelon, where the final battle of all nations is to be fought; and yonder, the mountains Hermon and Lebanon and Gerizlm, and the hills of Judea; and the village of liethlehem there, and the city of Jericho yonder, and the vast stretch of landscape that almost took the old lawgiver's breath away as he looked at it. And then without a pang —as I learn from the statement that the eye of Moses was uudlmmed and his natural force unabated—God touched great lawgiver's eyes and they closed; and his lungs, and they ceased; and his heart, and it stopped; and commanded, saying, "To the skies, thou Immortal spirit!" And then one Divine hand was put against the back of Moses, and the other hand against the pulseless breast, and God laid him softly down on Mount Nebo, and then the lawgiver, lifted in the Almighty's arms, was carried to the opening of a cave, and placed in a crypt, and one stroke of the Divine hand smoothed the features into an everlasting calm, and a rock was rolled to the door, and the only obsequies, at which God did all the offices of priest, and undertaker, and gravedigger, and mourner, were ended. Oh, was not Miriam, the sister of Moses, doing a good thing, an important thing, a glorious thing when the watched the boat woven of river plants and made water-tight with asphaltum, carrying its one passenger? Did she not put all the ages of time and of a coming eternity under obligation when am, the quick witted, Miriam, the faith- _s he defended her helpless brother from ful, though very human, for in after \ t u e perils aquatic, repLi'.ian, and raven- Enormous exports of flour have re- * eently been made and as a consequence the Minneapolis mills will run full farce, some of them day and night.

This steamers had left the other side of the Atlantic in ballast for American wheat cargoes has forced up the price of this • grain. On the Chicago market wheat sold last week at $1.10 a bushel, and even at that price the Leiter clique refused to Bell more than a few thousand bushels of its enormous holdings. Armour is supposed to be "but of the wheat market. yearsshe-demonstrated it Miriam was a splendid sister, but had had her faults^ like all the rest of us. How carefully she watched the boat containing her brother! A strong wind often upset it. The buffaloes often found there might in a sudden plunge of thirst sink it. • Some ravenous water fowl might swoop and pick his eyes out with iron beak. Some crocodile or hippopotamus crawling through the rushes might crunch the babe. Miriam watched and watched until Princess Thermutis, a maiden on each side of her holding palm leaves over her head to shelter her from the sun, came down and entered her bathing house. When from the lattice she saw that boat she ordered it brought, and when the leaves were pulled back from the face of the child and the boy looked up he cried aloud, for he was hungry and frightened, and would not even let the princess take him. The infant would rather stay hungry than acknowledge any TTUSi* one of thA nnnrt. as mother. Now_Mir-I O«M1-»M-44H>-other Nil was ihat—brought that wonderful babe and his mother together, so that he was reared to be the deliverer of his nation, when otherwise, if saved at all from the rushes of the Nile, he would have been only one more of the God-defying Pharaohs; for Princess Thermutis of the bathinghouse would have inherited the crown of Egypt; and as she had *no child of her own, this adopted child would have come to coronation. Had there been no Miriam there would have been no Moses. What a garland for faithful sisterhood! For how many a lawgiver, and how many a hero, and how many a deliverer and how many a saint are the world t»ud the church indebted to a watchful, loving, faithful, godly sister? Come up out of the farm-houses, come up out of the inconspicuous homes, come up from the banks of the Hudson and Penobscot, and the Savannah, and the Mobile, and the Mississippi, looked down upon thorn will have to turn out to let them pass* the ohariotecr crying: "Clear the wayl A queen Is coming!" General Dauer, 0* the Russian cavalry, had in early life wandered off in the army, and tho family supposed he was dead. After he gained a fortune ho encamped oue day in Husam, his native place, and made a banquet; and among the great military men who were to dine, he invited a plain miller and his wife who lived near by and who, affrighted, came, fearing some harm would 4*e done them. The miller and his wife were placed one on earh side of the general at the table. The general asked the miller all about his family, and the miller said that he had two brothers and a sister. "No other brothers?" "My younger brother went off with the army* many years ago, and no doubt wa long ago killed1." Then the general said: "Soldiers, I am this man's younger brother, whom he thought was dead." And how loud was the cheer, and how warm the embrace! Brother and sister, you need aa much of an introduction t o each other as they did. You do not know each other You think your brother is grouty and cross and queer, and he thinks you are selfish and proud and unlovely. Both wrong! That brother will be a prince In some woman's eyes, and that sistera queen in the estimation of some man. That brother is a magnificent fellow, and that sister is a morning in Jucie. Come, let me Introduce you: "Moses, this is Miriam." "Miriam, this is Moses." Add seventy-five per cent to your present appreciation of each other, and when you kiss good morning do not stick up your cold cheek, ~wetfrom the" re centwashing, as though you hated to touch each other's lips in affectionate caress. Let it have all the fondness and cordiality of a loving sister's kiss. Make yourself as agreeable and helpful to each other as possible, remembering that soon you part. The few years of boyhood and girlhood will soon slip by, and you will go out to homes of your own, and into the battle with the world, and amid ever-changing vicls'sltudes, and on paths crossed with graves, and up steeps hard to climb, and through shadowy ravines..!

The resolution was preceded by a preamble which st>t forth t h e terrible condition J of uirairs in Cuba, t h e inhuman deeds of thV* Spaniards, the sufferings.of the Cuban women and children, t h e ill-treatment of Americans at the h a n d s of the Spaniards, and also quoted the Republican platform of the last campaign, which sajd in part, " w e believe that the government of the United Stutes should actively use its iniluence aud good offices to restore peace and give independence to the Island of Cuba." Senator Allen, of Nebrasku. offered a s uii amendment to the diplomatic and consular appropriation bill the Morgan resolution for the recognition of the belligerency of Cuba. He said he hoped it would be speedily ucUjtV yUPon by the committee on . foreign relations so t h a t it would not v»>e defeased in the Senate by a point of order. ^1 r. Hale said it would still be "subject to such a point and Mr. 'Allen' gave notice that he would appie&l fVom any decision adverse to the amendment and test the sense of the Senate on the subject.

Madame Bonnefois is the daughter of hard working parents who sold toys at peripatetic fairs about Paris. When a young girl she began imparting her little, selfacquired education to the children of the fakirs, ropewalkers and showmen around her. With a little panorama of hej* own she managed to support her remarkable benevolence. Although she seldom stayed more than a fortnight in one town, she followed her proteges from place to place, setting up her v sehool, teaching the children to read and write, and ministering to their -bodily and moral necessities. Madame Bonnefois would have liked, doubtless, to command the philanthropic prospect from the summit. Palling that, she has set her little valley a-bloom for mankind. American competition m British ana .continental markets has become so keen and successful t h a t the London British Trade Review has been led to inquire, "When and where will the invasion stop?" Continuing, our contemporary say8: "The latest effort in this direction la to supply us with coal in the shape of Penhsylranto anthracite. The miners of the United Kingdom helped this article to get a footholu here during their late strike, but a tegular trade la now promiaed,aad Germany la named along with Great Britain as a damping ground, i t is asserted t h a t at present prices and present rates at freight American fuel can be exported to Europe at a small profit, and t h a t If the coal carrying steamers would out grant specially low rates in consideration of the assurance of steady cargoes, there would be no doubt whatever in the case.

But can Atlantic freights be further la correct the thing la impossible, bat they mean t h a i • u t e m e n t for caly." iam, the sister, incognito, no one suspecting her relation to the child, leaps from the bank and rushes down and offers to get a nurse to pacify the child. Consent is given, and she brings Jochebed, the boy's mother, incognito, none of the court knowing that she was the mother; and when Jochebed arrived, the child stopped crying, for its fright was calmed and its hunger appeased. You may admire Jochebed, the mother, and all the ages may admire Moses, but I clap my hands in applause at the behavior of Miriam, the faithful, brilliant and strategic sister. "Go home," some one might have said to Miriam; "why risk yourself out there alone on the banks of the Nile, breathing the miasma, and in danger of being attacked of wild beast or ruffian; go home!" No; Miriam, the sister, more lovingly watched and bravely defended Moses, the brother. Is he worthy her care and courage? Oh, yes; the sixty centuries of the world's history have never had so much involved in the arrival of any ship at. any port as in the landing of that papyrus boat calked with bitumen! Its one passenger was to be a nonsuch in history —lawyer,, statesman, politician, legislator, organizer, conqueror, deliverer. He had such remarkable beauty in childhood that Josephus says, when he was carried along the road, people stopped to gaze at him, and workmen would leave their work to admire him. When the king; playfully put his crown upon this boy, he .threw it off indignantly, and put his foot upon it. The king, fearing that this might be a sign that the child might yet take down his crown, applied another test. According to the Jewish legend, the king ordered two bowls to be put before the child, one containing rubies and the other burning coals; and if he took the coals, he was to live, and if he took the rubies, he was to die. For some) reason the child took one of the coal a, and put it in his mouth, so that, his life was spared, although it burned the tongue till he was indistinct of utterance ever after. Having come to manhood, ' he spread open the palms of his hands in prayer, and the Red Sea parted to let two million fire hundred thousand people escape. And he put the palms of his hands together in prayer, and the Bed Sea closed on a strangulated host. His life so unutterably grand, his burial must be on the same scale. God would let neither man nor saint nor archangel have anything to do with weaving for«him a shroud or digging for hiaa a grave.—The omnipotent God let us see you, the Miriams who watched and protected the leaders in law, and medicine, and merchandise, and art and agriculture, and mechanics, and religion! If I should ask all physicians and attorneys and merchants and ministers of religion and successful men of all professions and trades, who are indebted to an elder sister for good influences and perhaps for an education or a prosperous start, to let it be known, hundreds would testify. God knows how many of our Greek lexicons and how much of our schooling was paid for by money that would otherwise have gone for the replenishing of a sister's wardrobe. While the brother sailed off for a re sounding sphere, the sisrter watched him from the banks of self-denial. Miriam was the eldest of the family; Moses and Aaron, her brothers, were younger. Oh, the power of the elder sister to help decide the brother's character for usefulness and for heaven! She can keep off from her brother more evils than Miriam could have driven back water-fowl or crocodile from the ark of bulrushes. The older sister decides the direction in which the cradle boat shall sail. By gentleness, by good sense, by Christian principle she can turn it toward the palace, not of a wicked Pharaoh, but of a holy God; and a brighter princess than Thermutis should lift him out of peril, even religion, whose ways are ways of pleasantness and all her paths are peace. The older sister, how much the wortd owes her! Born while yet the family was in limited circumstances, she had to hold aiid take care of her younger brothers. And if there is anything that excites my sympathy, it is a • ittle girl lugging round a great fat child and getting her ears boxed because she cannot keep him quiet! By the time she gets to young womanhood she is pale and worn out, and her attractiveness has been sacrificed on the altar of sisterly fidelity, and ehe is consigned to celibacy, end society calls her by an unfair name; but in heaven they call her Miriam. In most families the two most undesirable places in the record of births are the first and the last; the first because she is worn oui with the cares of a home that cannot ifford to hire help, and the last beause she is spoiled as a pet. Among .he grandest equipages that sweep through the streeta of heaven will be those occupied by slaters who aacri is the start—namely,at the father's and mother's knee, if they have inherited the kingdom. Then, as in boyhood and Sfrlhood days, we rushed in after the day's absence with much to tell of exciting adventure, and father and mother enjoyed the recital as much as we who made it, so we shall on the hiliside of heaven rehearse to them all the scenes of our earthly expedition, and they shall welcome us 'home, as we ^ay: "Father and mother, we have come But, 0 my God and Saviour! may therermlnus of the journey be the same | of Cuba on or -^be^re 4he v4th duy of March.' l&ft, the '^overnniet^t of the tJnJted ritAte9'4rill, tin t h a t date, recognize the" belligerency of t h e Cuban patriots and within 30 days thereafter assert the independence of the republic of Cuba. Double Murder at Skaguay. A double , murder occurred at Ska-" guay, Alaska. Deputy C S. Marshal J. M. Bo wen, formerly city marshal of Mount Vernon, Wash., and Andrew 'MetJrath, of. Cqncqrd. Ont.. "were, shot and brought our ohildren with and kUled in J alee $i*e> variety theater us." The old revival hymn described it wifth glorious repetition: "Brothers and sisters there will meet. Brothers and sisters there will meet. Brothers and sisters there will meet. Will meet to part, no more." I read of a child in t h e country who was detained at a neighbor's house on a stormy night by some fascinating uories that were being told him, and hen looked out and saw it was so dark le did not dare go home. The incident impressed me the more because in my childhood I had much the same I experience. The boy asked his comrades to go with him, but they dared not. It got later and later—seven o'clock, eight o'clock, nine o'clock. "Oh," he said, "I wish I were home! As he opened the door the last time a blinding flash of lightning and a deaf ening roar overcame him. But after awhile he saw in the distance a lantern, and lo! his brother was coming to fetch him home, and the lad stepped out and with swift feet hastened an to his brother, who took him home, where they were so glad to greet him,-and for a long time supper had been waiting. So may it be when the night of death comes and our earthly friends cannot go with us, and we dare no'. go alone; may our Brother, our Elder Brother, our Friend closer than a brother, come out to meet us with the light of the promises, which shall be a lantern to our feet; and then,we will go in to join our loved ones waiting for us, supper all ready, the marriage supper of the Lamb! by Kd ,Fay> a bartender.

It is 70 in. wide and is a quality that is so good it is 'way aver this \1/* oz. mark. In the future it will cost about 6c per yard more to land in this country than this lot cost. It was cheap at 85 cts. but we want you to buy linens of us and will sell it for 65 cts. A n o t h e r quality marked 75c, now worth 80c, we will sell for 55c. A n o t h e r quality m a r k e d 50c, now worth 55c, we will sell for 39c. A n unbleached damtibk m a r k e d 75c, now worth 8 2 | c , we will sell for 57c.

Then there was an old gentleman who walked up and down in front ot her windows every morning from ha'*- past nine to ten o'clock, and again every afternoon from half-past two to three. He looked like an old general, and Dorothy felt quite friendly toward him because he belonged to her darling Dick's profession. But. even an old general can get monotonous in time, particularly when he does the same things day after day—and this one always did. After his early morning constitutional he invariably went in to his house and was seen- no m r e until he came out to do his half hour of regular tramping again at half-paat two. But after his second dose he always looked at his watch when a:i adjacent clock struck the hour, ind then shook himself together and toddled off as if he were going to town— going to his club, Dorothy thought. But o h ! dear, dear, it was all dreadfully slow, and before she had been a month In her new home Dorothy was pining, pining for some woman friend to talk td, to confide in, to be friends with. a Of course, to set off against this, there were the gay and glorious times when Dick came home, sometimes only between afternoon parade and morning stables, which meant a little dinner somewhere, a theater after it, and a wild scramble and rush to catch a Train leaving Liverpool street at some mearthly hour in the morning. At Jther times, however, Dick managed :o squeeze a two-days' leave out of his colonel, and then Dorothy felt—ay, and said, poor child—that life was worth dving, and that she would not change her lot for that of any other woman in all the wide world. So, poor child, her life slipped by in a continual change from • grave to gay, with bright spots of deepest and tenderest love set in a large surface of unutterable dullness and wearying depression. "I wonder," she said one day to Dick, "whether, when we are able to be always together; you will get tired of me and if I shall bore you?" "No," said Dick, promptly. "You really think not?" eagerly. "I don't think at all," he said, tenderly, "because I am sure of it. What inaketr you ask me that, dearest? Have JL ever looked bored or as if I were tired of you?" "Oh, no, Dick, n o ! " she burst out; "only you were so good and kind to me, and it s e e m s so wonderful that you who have been in the world all your ife, should take so much trouble for a l i t t l e ns*x>dy like me—I mean that 1 know nothing; how should I, after living B.\\ my life at Graveleigh?" Dick\ laughed aloud at the earnestness of b-er face and tone. "My darMng," he said, holding her close to his heart, "I have been no more kind and tender to you than you have been to me. You don't set half enough value <*n your dear self, the most precious self in the world. Believe me, a m a n does not care so much what his wife knows as what she is —and you forget, Wbat I always renever been to part us. Don't hurt me again by asking me doubting questions, my darling. Don't, Dorothy; don't, my dear." "Dick, Dick," Dorothy cried, "I never will. I love you, love you, love you!" "And you will always love me?" teasingly. "Oh, Dick!" reproachfully. "Even when ?" Dorothy blushed, but she put hor arm round his neck, and drew his mouth down to hers. "I shall always love you best of all, Dick," she said, "and however much I may love the child, I shall love it most because of you." "I LOVE YOU.- member, that you might hare liked the other fellow best, and you didn't." "The other fellow," Dorothy faltered. "You mean David Stevenson." "Yes, I mean David Stevenson," Dick answered. "Many a girl would h a r e taken him before a poor pauper devil, w h o had to ask his wife to lire incog in a poor little hole like this. Do you know, I went round to have a look at Stevenson's place, Holroyd, the other day, and when I saw it—shall I tell you w h a t I did, my sweetheart?" "Yes," answered Dorothy, in a w h l s - "I w e n t round to the churchyard where she. lies, our best friend, and I thanked God and her, if she could hear me, that m y dear little love had given m e her pure love in exchange for mine, satf t h a t Mies Dimsdale's w i s h e s had CHAPTER XV. B O U T t w o months after this a sort of avalanche fell upon the little household in Palace Mansions. It took the form of a letter from Lord Aylmer, the old savage at Aylmer'n Field, and Dick in his first surprise exclaimed, "Nov/, who the devil was to expect the old savage would be up to this sort of game?" It began by assuring his nephew that he was enjoying the very best of -heatthr that he had not had a touch of gout for something over three months, but that her ladyship was in exceedingly queer health—that she was indeed thoroughly out of sorts, and at present giving both himself and her medical adviser cause for the grave3t anxiety. Then he went on to say that he had just had a visit of nearly a week from his old friend Barry Boynton— "That's Lord Skevversleigh," said Dick, as he read the letter aloud—and that Barry Boynton had just been appointed Governer-General of Madras, and that as he—"the old savage"— felt his nephew could not lose by advancement in his profession, whether he ever happened to come in for tha Aylmer title or.not, he had put in a good word for him with his old friend, with the result that Barry Boynton baa promised to appoint him as his military secretary. "But,, Dick," Dorothy cried, "that means India." "Not a bit of it, my darling," Dick cried; "I'll see the old savage at. perdition before I accept it. I only go to India on one condition that I go as a free man; that is, with you as my acknowledged wife." Ti v n they read the letter over again and made their comments upon it— she with her sweet face pressed against his cheek, he with his arm close about her waist. "The amount of delicate information he conveys is really remarkable," Dick laughed. Dick, by-the-by, was on :t ten days' leave, and was jovial and inclined to view the whole world through rose colored glasses in consequence; "this is to let me know that I needn't expect to step into his shoes for many a day yet. Bless me, if he knew how little I care about it, one way or the other!" "Nor I!" Dorothy chimed in; "except— except that we should always be together then, Dick," with a soft touch of yearning in her voice. "But we are always together in heart, my dearest," cried Dick, fondly. "And my lady's health is causing him the gravest anxiety—h'm! We may take that with a grain of salt. Gravest anxiety* Why, if my lady were lying at death's door, that old savage wouldn't be anxious, unless for fear that she should get better. However, as they are in town I must go and inquire after her ladyship. She's a hard nail enough, but s h e has always been good to mo *n her way, and she's worth a thousand of him any day. And then I can tell the old savage that he may use his influence with his dear old friend Barry Boynton for somebody else." "But you won't do anything rash, Dick?" Dorothy cried. "Certainly not—why should I? But I shall tell him I have no fancy for India, and that I'd rather stop at home. "But supposing that he says no," said Dorothy, who in her heart regarded Dick's "old savage" as an all-powerful being who had it in his power to make or mar her very existence. "Oh, I think he will hardly insist, one way or the other," he answered, easily. "Anyway, I must go and be civil to m y lady, who isn't half a bad sort, and gently intimate my decision to my lord." "When will you go, Dick?" Dorothy asked. 'Today, I think, dearest." he replied; *9u*t after lunch will be a good tlmtr. A i.v .-,^, ..toc - , aever quite so savage after a meal as at any other time." A strange and sickly faintness began to creep ove: Dorothy, a dull and indefinable sense of foreboding rose in her heart and threatened to suffocate her. "Shall you be long there?" "Well, if I am," returned Dick, with a laugh, "it will be a new experience for my delightful uncle, for I never stopped a single minute longer in hia house than I could help since I can remember." Then he happened—attracted by her silence, and the absence of the sweet laugh which generally echoed his—to turn and look at her. The next moment he had caught her in bis arms, and was kissing her as a man only kisses the one w o m a n that he loves in all the world. "My love, my love," he cried, "my dear, sweet little love, don't look like that. W h a t is it you fear? Not that I shall ever change toward you, or be different in any way, so far as you are concerned?" "They are your people," she faltered —and " "My people!" he echoed contemptuously. "Yes, so they are; but you— you are my life—my very soul—the light of my eyes; why, you are mftself. Why, to put my love and care f o r y o u in comparison for one instant with what I feel for all my people together would be too funny for words, if you were not distressed about it. But when I see you look like that, r*.rling, it hurts me so awfully—it cuts Tie up, so that I can hardly talk or t h i n \ sens'bly. My dear little dove, tfctre is - jbody in all the wide world '**at I i")uld ever put beside you, vK ever shall." "You are sure?" she cried. "I am quite sure," he answered,looking at her straight and true in the eyes. "And now, my dearest, it is halfp a s t e l e v e n ; let m e take you out for a turn before lunch time." He always found it an easy matter to comfort and reassure the little wife who loved him so dearly, and although, by living so much alone and without proper companionship, she was apt to brood over the circumstances of her life and to conjure up all sorts of gloomy fancies and dr ead shadows which might come to pa?» tit some future time, these mists always yielded before the irresistible suhsMue of his love, and they were happi<*\ if possible, than they had been tfiretime. In his innermost heart, h o - v v e r , Dick was not §0 easy about hfj approaching interview with Lord A j ' m e r as he made Dorothy believe; and he knocked at the door of the old savage's town house with rather a quaking heart, and something of the vague' dread which he had coaxed and soothed away from his wife's tender heart. D I P H T H E R I A I N W I N N S C O N N S . Yes, Lord Aylmer was at home, and her ladyship also! and the servant, having no special orders about Mr. Aylmer, a t otice showed him into the pretty little room off the smallest of the two drawing rooms, and told hira that he would inform her ladyship of his presence. And in less than three minutes Lady Aylmer came. "My dear Dick," she said, "I am most pleased to see you. I did *ot know that you were in town. Is it true that Lord Skevversleigh has made you his military secretary? I quite thought you had set your face against India at any price." Dick Aylmer was s o surprised that "MY D E A R DICK." he sat staring at his uncle's wife in speechless wonder. She noticed his look, and asked with a laugh, "What is the matter, Dick? You look a s if you had s«en a ghost." "Not a ghost, Lady Aylmer," he said, recovering himself; "but I certainly expected to see more of a ghost than you are a t t h i s moment." "Why, how do you mean?" "I had a letter from Lord A y l m e r this morning, and he said that y o e were ill.** "111? i r she echoed. "Nonsense! You must h a v e mistaken h i a . I w a s never better in my life." "I couldn't possibly mistake h i m , " said Dick, firmly. "However, H i s h o w you the letter; there is nothing e l *V private in K." L (To be Continued.)

Of the thirty-three cases twelve were subjected to so-called modern treatment; four of the twelve thus treated died, a death rate of 33 1-8 per c e n t Mr. J.

His own family was one of the first infected, Muco-Solvent being used to the exclusion of everything else with splendid results. Compared with other treatments, its success was so very pronounced, that Muco-Solvent was generally adopted, with the result that by its use alone the other twenty-two cases recovered, not one proving fatal where Muco-flolvent was depended on.

In Babylon, a crowded elty built on a flat plain, the queens had their gar* dens In the air, hanging, or roof-gardens, whence they could look far away to the distant sky-line. Here rich and rare blossoms grew and lovely foliage gave shade and a cooler air refreshed the brow than that of the heated streets far below. The rich also had high, terraced gar-, gardens, on land, and, sweetest of all, floating gardens on tho lakes. These were made on rafts, and In the rich soil and abundant moisture the flowers bloomed marvelously, while in the waters another garden—counterpart of the first—bloomed in a fair shadow-world. In such a garden as thla one might have the enjoyment of movement, gliding slowly over the waves, or rest at will, moored on the bank. Another fairy-like garden was the desert garden in which the royal ladies of Persia and of Egypt delighted. Surrounded by burning sands, they yet contrived, by artificial means, to extend the waters of some spring in an oasis, and rear beautiful shrubs and a profusion of flowers and tender grass, sprinkling the air continually with fountains that laughed and played in the sun. Think of the delight of entering such a retreat after a toilsome journey on camel's back in the hot glare and across, the parched sands pf some desert route. In the great tanks wore cultivated aquatic plants, the lotus, or water lily, of the Egyptian river, with colling stems and cool, veined leaves. The Romans and the Greeks delighted in gardens, and those of Pompeii, the city deetroyed so many centurlete ago by a volcano, were very gay. The houses were in perfect accord with the gardens, and opened upon them. The halls almost seemed In imitation of a flower-bed, so brilliant were the mosaic pictures on the floors. It is true, the walls of the houses within were black, ; but this was only as a background to j throw into stronger relief the brightcolored decorations upon them. I There were white tablets with in- I scriptions, and there were pictures that told some pleading etory—pictures of bright and cheerful colors in which the ! red cinnabar predominated. The Pompeilans loved red; they sometimes painted the lower part of the columns in their graceful peristylee or porticos a bright red, leaving the upper part untouched. You looked through the portico across the hall and-pajtfoTf and perhaps picture room, all open and ciienry, into the little garden beyond with its trim flower-beds, its little fountain, its vases on—pedestals andstatues in the shrubbery. Illusions and fanciful devices were in great request. The garden walls were tinted and painted in perspective, trees, temples, etc., to produce an appearance of more space than really existed. Bronze boys with silver eyes and nymphe scattering wreaths were favorite ornaments. Everything looked ready for a feast. l a Italy, during the fourteenth and fifteenth centuriss. and even later, the greatest attention was bestowed on gardens. These were full of fountains and little lakes, and winding walks and borders of flowers, of course, but their special feature was the resemblance to the old gardens of Rome. Their boundaries were marked by marble pillars with a sculptured head of Hermes; under the stately stone-pines were little temples built in classic style, besides the streams were grottos with statues of water-nymphs and deities, in the groves you came suddenly upon a white marble Pan with his pipes or Apollo and Diana with their bows.

One of the most singular instances of punishment for an oversight was that shown by the commitment of an almanac maker to the bastile in 1717. It was made out by the order of the Dnke of Orleans regent during the minority of Louis XV. of France, and reads ao follows: "Laurence d'Hcnry, for disrespect to King George I., in no. mentioning him in his almanac as Kine of Great Britain."

One good thing about a women's club is the fact that it enables its members to tell every week in set sketches just why the club exiBts. Another delightful thing Is its placid satisfaction over the weekly increase in the number of its members, and in imagining an opposition on the part of the press and the public which does not exist. But it really ought to have its pretty songs, like the Sunday schools, wherein the members sing, '"Oh, how I ..love my dear, dear club," etc. The fact that a mother whose son had been killed In a game of foot ball objected earnestly to a bill prohibiting the game, and the other fact that many young ladies of Richmond applauded speeches in the Virginia legislature in opposition £o a similar bill, demonstrate a love of danger on the part of the sex which will not permit the other sex to get away from it. There Is a great deal of the savage in the gentle bosoms of those persons yet. Adaptability, deemed priceless in social success, plays no less a part in business life, as the English cotton manufacturers have discovered to their sorrow. Turkey-red handkerchiefs were popular in Russia, but the women wanted them square. The Lancashire makers sent them oblong. The Russian shopkeepers protested, but as change would involve alteration of machinery, the Russian women had still to screw the oblong kerchiefs round their heads. Then the gallant German appeared. He bowed effusively to feminine fashion, did not begrudge the needful machinery, got the trade, and deserved it. Chief Brown.of the.Seminole Indians has visited Washington, accompanied by two men of his tribe, one of whom is the father of one of the young Indians burned at the stake the other day by a mob of white men. Unable to secure justice in Oklahoma, the chief decided to appeal to the natiunai government, and as a result the following resolution was offered in the sen-' ate: "Resolved, That the secretary of the interior shall be and Is hereby in structed to investigate the facts attending the recent alleged atrocious burning to death of two Seminole Indians by a mob in Oklahoma Territory and make report thereon to congress." The Joint sub-committee of the senate and house, which has been for some months trying to agree upon the basis of new laws for Indian Territory, has authorized Representative Curtis to prepare and introduce a bill providing for the allotment of the use of Indian lands, for the regulation of town sites, providing for the ousting of intruders and authorizing the Dawes commission to prepare a, roll of citizens. The provision in regard to town sites will allow the incorporation of town companies and permit them to purchase their site* from the Indians with the consent of the national government granting a lease in the meantime. Two men recently killed by tae law died with protestations of innocence on their lips, and the result is some sympathetic comment In their behalf. But we believe the last words of distinguished murderers convicted on circumstantial evidence have been of that character in eight out of ten cases; and it Is a fair inference that the person capable of murder is likewise capable of the minor crime of lying even at the moment of his punishment. Possibly, too, he has proclaimed his innocence so many times that he has come to believe in it himself, however guilty he may be. It is clear bluff; and again he may have a courteous objection in behalf of himself to denial of his previous important statements. The agitation over "black bread" which was started in Chicago has been transferred to congress. Senator Mason has introduced a bill in the senate placing an internal revenue tax on blended flour made from c o n flour and wheat flour mixed. It has developed that nearly all the country south of the Ohio River is using blended flour, and that this product has gradually been introduced into the northern markets. Its use has recently increased owing to the growing scarcity of good winter wheat, and the further fact that Joseph Leiter has purchased more than 15,000,- Uag It tor what Is considered an iaevftable rise to $1.60 abusheL There promise* to be a battle royal between the corn and wheat floor miller*. ATTHEW Henry, Albert B a r n e s , A d a m C l a r k , Thomas Scott, and all the commentators pass by theso verses without any especial r e m a r k . The other twenty people mentioned in the chapter were distinguished f o r something and were therefore discussed by the illustrious expositors; but nothing is said about Asyncritus, Phlegon, Hermas, Patrobas, Hermes, Philologus and Julia. Where were they born? No one knows. When did they die? There is no record of their decease. For what were they distinguished? Absolutely nothing, or the trait of character would have been brought out by the apoistle. If they had been very intrepid; or opulent, or hirsute, or musical of cadence, or crass . of style, or in any wise anomalous, that feature would have been caught by the apostolic camera. But they were good people, because Paul sends to them his high Christian regards. They were ordinary people moving in ordinary sphere, attending to ordinary duty and_mee t ingordInary responsibilities. What the world wants is a religion for ordinary people. If there be in the United States 70,000,000 people, there aic certainly not more than 1,- 000,000 extraordinary; and then there are 69,000,000 ordinary, and we do well to turn our backs for a little while upon the distinguished and conspicuous people of the Bible and consider In our text the seven ordinary. We spend too much of our time In twisting garlands for remarkables and building thrones for magnates and sculpturing warriors and apothesizing philanthropists. The rank and file of the Lord's soldiery need especial help. The vast majority of people will never lead an army, will never write a state constitution, will never electrify a senate, will never make an im- j portant invention, will never introduce j a philosophy, will never decide , the fate of a nation. You do not exwomen in the ordinary duties of housekeeping. The wearing, grinding, unappreciated work goes on, but the same Christ who stood xm the bank of Galilee in the early morning and kindled the fire and had the fish already cleaned and broiling when the sportsmen stepped ashore, chilled and hungry, will help every woman to prepare breakfast, whether by her own hand, or the hand of her hired help. The God who made indestructible eulogy of Hannah, who made a coat for Samuel, her son, and carried it to the temple every year, will help every woman In preparing the family wardrobe. The God who opens the Bible with the story of Abraham's entertainment by the three angels on the plains of Mamre, will help every woman to provide hospitality, however rare and embarrassing. It is high time that some of the attention we have been giving to the remarkable women of the Bible—remarkable for their virtue, or their want of it, or remarkable for their deeds—Deborah and Jezebel, and Herodias and Athalia, and Dorcas and the Marys, excellent and abandoned— it is high time some of the attention we have been giving to these conspicuous women of the Bible be given to Julia, an ordinary woman, :imid ordinary circumstances, attending to ordinary duties, and meeting ordinary responsibilities. * * * Now, what is wanted is grace—divine grace for ordinary business men, men who are harnessed from morn till night and all the days of their l i f e - harnessed In business. Not grace to lose a hundred thousand, but grace to lose ten dollars. Not grace to supervise two hundred and fifty employes in a, factory, but grace to supervise the bookkeeper and two salesmen, and the small boy that sweeps out the store. Grace to invest not the eighty thousand dollars of net profit, but the twenty- five hundred of clear gain. Grace not to endure the loss of a whole shipload of spices from the Indies, but grace to endure the loss of a paper of collars from the leakage of a displaced shingle on a poor roof. Grace not to endure the tardiness of the American Congress in passing a necessary law, but grace to endure the tardiness of an errand boy stopping to play marbles when he ought to deliver the goods. Such a grace as thousands of business men have today—keeping them tranquil, whether goods sell or do not sell, whether customers pay or do not pay, whether tariff Is up or tariff Is down, whether the crops are luxuriant or a dead failure—calm in all circumstances and amid all vicissitudes. That is the kind of grace we want. pect to; you do not want to. You will not be a Moses to lead a nation out of bondage. You will not be a Joshua to prolong the daylight until you can shut five kings in a cavern. You will not be a St. John to unroll an Apocalypse. You will not be a Paul to preside over an apostolic college. You will not be a Mary to mother a Christ. You will more probably be Asyncritus or Phlegon, or Hermas, or Patrobas, or Hermes, or Philologus, or Julia. Many of you are women at the head of households. Every morning you plan for the day. The culinary department of the household is in your dominion. You decide all questions of diet. All the sanitary regulations of your house are under your supervision. To regulate the food and the apparel and the habits, and decide the thousand questions of home life is a tax upon brain and nerve and general health absolutely appalling, if there be no divine alleviation. It does not help you much to be told that Elizabeth Fry did wonderful things amid the criminals at Newgate. It does not help "you much to be told that Mrs. Judson was very brave among the Bornesian cannibals, ft does not help you very much to be told that Florence Nightingale was very kind to the wounded in the Crimea. It would be better for me to tell you that the divine friend of Mary and Martha is your friend, and that he sees all the annoyances and disappointments and abrasions, and exasperations of an ordinary housekeeper from morn till night, and from the ! first day of the year until the last day of the year, and at your call he Is ready with help and reinforcement. They who provide the food of the world decide the health of the world. You have only to go on some errand amid the taverns and the hotels of the United States and Great Britain to appreciate the fact that a vast multitude of the human race are slaughtered by incompetent cookery. Though a young woman may have taken lessons in music, and may have taken lessons in painting, and lessons in astronomy, she is not well educated unless she has taken lessons in dough! They who decide the apparel of the world, and the food of the world, decide the endurance of the world. An unthinking man may consider It a matter of little Importance—the cares of the household and the jjcono'- tnltn of domes tic life but I tclfr~you the earth is strewn with the martyrs of kftchen and nursery. The healthshattered womanhood of America cries oat tor a God who can help ordinary / Millions o~f men—want—it;—antrthey may have it for the asking. Souse hero or heroine comes to town, and as the procession passes through, the streets the business men come out, stand on tiptoe on their store steps and look at some one who in Arctic clime, or in ocean storm, or in day of battle, or in hospital agonies, did the brave thing. not realizing that they, the enthusiastic spectators, have gone through trials ip business life that are just as great before God. There are men who have gone through, freezing Arctics and burning torrids, and awful Marengoes of experience without moving five miles from their doorstep. Now, what ordinary business men need is to realize that they have the friendship of that Christ who looked after the religious interests of Matthew, the custom house clerk, and helped Lydla, of Thyatira, to sell the dry goods, and who opened a bakery and fish market in the wilderness of Asia Minor to feed the seven thousand who had come out on a religious picnic, and who counts the hairs on your head with as much particularity as though they were the plumes of a coronation, and who took the trouble to stoop down with his finger writing on the ground, although the first shufflle of feet obliterated the divine caligraphy, and who knows just how many locusts there were in the Egyptian plague, and knew just how many ravens were necessary to supply Elijah's pantry by the brook Cherith, and who, as floral commander, leads forth all the regiments of primroses, foxgloves, daffodils, hyacinths, and lilies, which pitch their tents of beauty and kindle their campfires of color all around the hemisphere —that that Christ and that God knows the most minute affairs of your business life and however inconsiderable, understanding all the affairs of that woman who keeps a thread and needle store as well as all the affairs of a Rothschild and a Baring. Then there are all the ordinary farmers. We talk about agricultural life, and we immediately shoot off to talk about Cincinnatus, the patrician, who went from the plow to a high position, and aft<jr he got through the dictatorship, in twenty-one days, went back again to the plow. What encouragement is that to ordinary farmers? The vast majority of them—none of them will be patricians. Perhaps none of them will be senators. If any of them hate dictatorships, it will be over for keep cheerful amic no drouth that destroys th« corn crop, and that enables them to restore the garden the day after the neighbor's cattle have broken in and trampled out the strawberry bed, and gone through the Lima bean patch, and eaten up the sweet corn in such large quantities that they must be kept from the water lest they swell up and ilia Gnu;* «n catching weather that enables tuom, without imprecation, to spread out the hay the third timp. although again, aud again, and usftn. it has been almost ready for the mow. A graco to doctor the cow with a hollow horn, and the aheep with the foot :-jt and the horso with the distemper, and to compel the unwilling acres to yield a livelihood for the fumlly, and schooling for the children and little extras to help the older boy in business, and something for the daughter's wedding outfit, and a little surplus for the time when the ankles will get Btlff with age, and the breath will be a little short, and the swinging of the cradle through the hot harvest field will bring on the old nian's vertigo. Better close up about Cincinnatus. I know five hundred farmers just aB noble as he was. What they want is to know that they have the friendship of that Christ who often drew his similes from the farmer's life, as when he said, "A sower went forth to sow," as when he built his best parable out of the scene of a farmer boy coming back from his wanderings, and the old farm house shook that night with rural jubilee; and who compared himself to a lamb in the pasture field, and who said that the eternal God is a farmer, declaring, "My father is the husbandman." Those stone masons do not want to hear about Christopher Wren,, the architect, who built St. Paul's Cathedral. It would be better to teli them how to carry the hod of brick up the ladder without slipping, and how on a cold niorning, with the trowel to smooth off the mortar and keep cheerful, and how to be thankful to God for the plain food taken from the pail by the roadside. Carpenters, standing amid the adze, and the bit, and the plane, and the broad axe, need to be told that Christ was a carpenter, with £ i s own hand wielding saw and hammer. Ch, this is a tired world, and it is an overworked world, and it is an under fed world, and it is a wrung out world, and men and women need to know that there Is rest and recuperation In God and In that religion which was not so much intended for extraordinary people as for ordinary people, because there are more of them. * * * At an anniversary of a deaf and dumb asylum, one of the children wiutc up-- on the blackboard words as sublime as the Iliad, the Odyssey, and the "Divina Commotlia" all compressed In one paragraph. The examiner, in the signs of the mute language, asked her, "Who made the world?" The deaf and dumb girl wrote upon the blackboard, "In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth." The examiner asked her, "For what purpose did Christ come into the world?" The deaf and dumb girl wrote upon the blackboard, "This is a faithful saying, and worthy of all acceptation, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners." The examiner said to her, "Why were you born deaf and dumb, while I hear and speak?" She wrote upon Uxe blackboard, "Even so, Father; for so it seemeth good in thy sight." Oh, that we might be baptized with a contented spirit. The spider draws poison out of a flower, the bee gets honey out of a thistle, but happiness is a heavenly elixir, and the contented spirit extracts it, not from the rhododendron of the hills, but from the lily of the valley.

What these men want is grace, to keen their patience while plowing with balky oxen, and to Women the Bent Converters. Of one thing there can be very little doubt, and that is the greater readiness in conversation of women than men. A woman can create conversation, which is a very useful thing, and is frequently found a great social difficulty. If we give a man a subject on which he knows anything at all. unless he be a fool or morbidly reticent, he can talk about it so as to make himself fairly intelligible and perhaps interesting for those to whom the subject has any interest at all. Men, when their feeling of enthusiasm is excited, throw off the slowness and hesitation which frequently cramp their power in society, just as they throw off the physical infirmity of stuttering under the Influence of some awakening theme or Bome strong sympathy. But the power of conversation in some women and not always those of re*\arkable ability, is the very art of making bricks without straw. They will talk to one by the hour about nothing—that is, on no particular subject and with no particular object, and talk coherently And not foolishly and withal very pleasantly all the time. It wt jld, we are free to confess, be rather difficult for the listener to carry away with him any mental notes of what had been said; he may not be conscious of having gained any new ideas or of having had his old ones much enlarged; but he will rise and go his way, ao one docs aftor a l i g h . and wholesome meal, sensibly cheer<*d and refreshed, but retaining no trouttesome memories of the Ingredients which have composed it Ma a/ Wonderful C a m Recorded, Hoping that Others May Ite Benefited.

The following is a sample of these letters: / Oct. 10, 1897, 630 Main St., \ Springfield, Mass.

Every person, male or female, shrinks from baldness. It adds to tbe appearance of age and is a serious discomfort. The cases are rare when the falling out of the hair may not be stopped, and a new and healthy growth of the hair promoted. The hair grows in the scalp like a plant in the •oil. If n plant flourishes, it must have constant attention: it must be watered regularly and find its food in the soil -where it is rooted. It's so with the hair. Neglect is usually the be^inuiug of baldness. Dandruff is allowed to thicken on the scalp. The hair begins to loosen. The scalp loses its vitality. The hair, insufficiei-. ly nourished, begins to fade and to fall- The instant need in such a case is tome practical preparation which, supplying the needed nourishment to the •calp, will feed the hair, give it strength, and so produce a strong and healthy growth. All this is done by Dr. Ayer'a Hair Vigor, the most practical and valuable preparation for the hair that can be obtained. It tones up the scalp, does away with dandruff, stops the hair from falling. restores the original color to fray or faded hair, and gives an abundant and glossy growth. Those who are threatened with upproaqhinK baldness will be interested in the following voluntary statement, made b V Alderman 8. J. Green, of Spencer, Iowa. He writes: "About four months ago, my hair com* menced falling out so rapidly that I became alarmed, and being recommended Dr. Ayer's Hair Vigor by a druggist, Z resolved to try this preparation. I have been now using it for three months, and am murfi gratified to find that my hair has ceased falling out and also that hair which had been turning gray for the past Ave yeara has been restored to its original color, dark brown. It gives me much pleasure to recommend this dressing."— S. J. GREEN, Alderman, Spencer,Iowa.

I have reason to believe that she returns my passion, and I want to ask you to give her into my keeping.' Mrs. Trelawney's features hardened, and there was a cold, metallic ring in her voice as she answered: "What recommendation have you to offer for yourself? How can you convince me that you will always love her —that you will always think her beautiful?" "She looks like her mother," said Francis Wallingford. "That Is enough to convince me that her beauty will not diminish as her years increase. Of course, I know that this can hardly be regarded as a final test.

Among them all the one which suits us best is that published by N. W. Aver & Son. Newspaper and Magazine Advertising Agents, Philadelphia. The 1898 edition has just arrived and has been put in commission. Perhaps its chief attraction is that the figures are clear enough to be read across a room. It Is, however, a most handsome specimen of the printer's art, while its business talk always Interests business men. We are not suprised to learn that the edition has been doublecLin recent years.

Associated Press correspondents claim to observe great preparations for war in the manning of various portions of our modern system of coast defense at this time, but the w a r department says it is but J,he carrying out of plans which have been maturing for two or three years. I t is also alleged by t h e correspondents t h a t t h e U.

Secretary of War Alger is said to be hurrying troops to the forts about New York Washington: A telegram from Capt. Sigsbee reads: " H a v a n a — Bache."

Another dispatch announces t h e arrival of t h e lightship tender Mangrove with t h e court of inquiry and additionl divers a n d apparatus. The court promptly began its investigations, but t h e regulations under which the proceedings take place absolutely precludes t h e conveyance by any member of the court or the court as a body to any person, even the secretary of t h e navy, of a n y facts developed during t h e progress of the inquiry, unless the action of the department was necessary upon some development to further the investigation. American* Advised to> Leave- Cuba. Havana: Consul-General Lee has informally advised Americans not necessarily detained here to leave for h o m e at once. Many families will sail as soon as possible. This is an indication t h a t they realize the possibility of trouble arising suddenly and their inability to protect women and children of American citizens if an outbreak occurred. The situation in Havana is more grave t h a n it was a week agot Although t h e officers of theJ naval board of inquiry preserve an impenetrable reserve, it Is learned t h a t some of t h e best naval experts' now believe that/£ae explosion was the result of treayw^ry. They do not believe t h a t high Spanish officials were party to t h e conspiracy, but are inclined to suspect t h a t juniorofncials instigated the deed. The further t h e inquiry into t h e cause of the disaster proceeds, the more remote appear t h e chances that a n y evidence will be discovered to show t h a t t h e disaster was due to accident. The divers have discovered cases of brown hexonite powder for t h e 10-inch guns unexploded, and believing t h a t others unexploded will be found in t h e 10-inch magazine on t h e starboard side, conviction grows t h a t this magazine did not blow up. If this be so t h e further conviction is forced t h a t t h e explosion which wrecked t h e Maine came from the outside on the port bow, as many have insisted. This theory is strengthened by the fact t h a t the main portion of the wreck was blown to starboard. W h y Did t h e Alphoheo X I I Move. The feeling over t h e Maine disaster does not grow less strained as time passes. In fact t h e feeling of resentment in t h e United States is increasing as day after day brings evidence which seems to strengthen the theory t h a t t h e Maine was destroyed as t h e result of the explosion of a torpedo or a submarine mine. Passengers arriving a t New York on t h e Ward line steamer Seguranca state t h a t great excitement prevailed a t Havana, and t h e foreign population was general in t h e opinion t h a t t h e Maine w a s destroyed by design. They cited, a m o n g other things, t h a t t h e Spanish man-of-war Alphonso X I I . , which was anchored near t h e Maine, changed h e r moorings a few h o u r s previous to t h e disaster. William L. Corbin, a prominent broker who arrived on the steamer, relates t h a t he had seen a strange little craft hovering a b o u t t h e Maine a short time before t h e explosion. F r a n k Weinheimer, a n o t h e r passenger, says t h a t he was s t a n d i n g on t h e pier 300 yards from t h e Maine when she w a s blown up. He witnessed the terrible effects of t h e explosion and then fled from t h e horrible scene, and as h e reached the center of t h e city several times Spaniards called to him: "Send us another warship, you Americans, and weTi blow t h a t up, too," and other insulting remarks. He says Americans in Havana are constantly jnsulted, and this is borne out by C. P. Holcomb w h o relates t h a t while driving to the cemetery with two American friends t o SCO t h e graves of t h e Maine's dead, they were assailed with jeers, and some one threw •.! large stone at the carriage.

London: Intelligence has been received t h a t two French expeditions are advancing toward Sokoto, capital of t h e sultanate of Sokoto. in the extreme n o r t h of the Haussa states, East Africa, and t h a t six French officers w i t h a force of 200 men have arrived at A r g u n g u (Argungi) and Tagga. The former town is an important place on t h e Sokoto river, about half way between t h e sultan's capital and the river Niger, and is within the British sphere. T h e sultan of Sokoto h a s commanded t h e French force to h a l t about 40 miles from t h e capital. The Royal Niger Co.'* representative. (British) Wm.

Special cables from Havana state t h a t the naval court of inquiry ha? practically concluded its investigations a t Havana and will now secure testimony of survivors of t h e Maine at Key West. I t isnelieveed t h a t the court is unanimously of the opinion t h a t t h e Maine was destroyed by an outside explosion. Unfortuneately, for the public is eager for an official settlement of t h e vexed question of who caused the Maine's loss, it is not certain t h a t a public announcement of the c o n c l u s i o n reached by the board will follow immediately. Upon the report of these conclusions to the secretary of the navy, in the discretion of t h e department, it is not unlikely t h a t public action may be somewhat delayed. It is even possible that, for prudent reasons, t h e filing of t h e board's report may itself be delayed beyond a date when its expeditious work would seeir to w a r r a n t a conclusion of its labors. recently placed under British protection.

Shank of Landing and Mr. Frank Iteason of Anderson were the speakers of the e v e n i n g and the time was mostly occupied by these men, who g a v e a description of the road, the construction, the cost, etc., g i v i n g the people a good idea of what they m i g h t expect and what benefits the people, the laboring men especially, w o u l d receive. T h e people of this place are very enthusiastic and are manif'e «ting much interest in this project and as the right of W a y has- been secured nearly the entire route, the only t h i n g necessary now is the funds, to which we think P i n c k n e y will readily respond with her share. The >ura of $7,000 has been asked from tins village and, although quite a sum, we think the eommitteo will find no trouble in raising the required amount. If those who are opposed to this project would only g i v e this matter a careful investigation, we fail to understand w h y they cannot look favorably upon a n d g i v e tliis matter their hearty support. It would surely be a great nnpTWement t6~ourTit£Te~ village. c o u n t y were at the bead, who were well acquainted with t h e &oil and climate in the c o u n t y . T h e general question "Their Mistakes a n d Blunders in Farming'1 was then discussed. Only four were willi n g to a c k n o w l e d g e t h a t tbey had n u d e any mistakes or blundeus which are as follows:" "Did not roll ray w h e a t ground e n o u g h so as to hold the moisture duri n g the dry spell after s o w i n g ; also did not sow rye e n o u g h to the acre for rye hay, and did not let it cure thoro u g h l y . T w o bushels should be sown to the acre. Did not drag oats after they were drilled. W h e n corn was killed by the hot season in J u n e two y e a r s ago, I missed it by not r e p l a n t i n g . T h e wet. cold season I missed it by p l a n t i n g corn o v e r ; also made a blunder by not binding my corn stalks thoroughly. T h e next m e e t i n g will be held at the home of Mrs. Jas. Hall, S a t u r d a y March 26. T h e question for discussion is " W h e n is the m o : t profitable time to market crops " Adjourned. Cor. Sec. A Clever T r i c k .

When they threw teeth in the street a host of fully armed policemen suddenly sprang up. The Jockey Club and other superior Society having rebuked the prince of Wales because of his loyaHy to Mrs. Langtry, the two ought to go off together and pull the wool of oblivion over their faces, the same to remain there for forty days and nights. We do not say that they will do so, mark you! for they have been hardened against rebuke by years of contempt for it.

As long as ^themurderous-spirit-existsan.cLJs_.not. adequately restrained weapons wUl be found with which to commit a ci*ime.

Mr. Smalley will perhaps have things so arranged presently that every newcomer will be born in England. Not that it is a disgrace to be born in America; but one has to waste so much time growing up and; aaaking the money neceeaarytogo to England and die. Meanwhile the evacuation of the country by men who are ashamed of It will proceed as rapidly as possible. —Smalley sought to get his passport. The Spanish government is doing all within its power to augment the strength of her navy, and with that end in view, orders have been given to push forward the three new armored cruisers, the( Cardinal Cisneros, Princesa de Austurias and Cataluna, which this country is building, and which are described in the following articles, taken from that excellent weekly naval illustrated paper, El Mundo Naval, written by Lieutenant of the Navy Mario Rujjio Munez: , "The navy is anxiously awaiting the happy completion of the three armored cruisers which are being built in the arsenals of Ferrol, Carraea and Cartagena. The general description given in brief in a previous number, when we described to our readers the cruisers Infanta Maria Teresa, Vizcaya and Oquendo, are repeated in reference to their sister ships in all that relates to the generic type; but there will be a large number of new details which augment their fighting value in the Cardinal Cisneros, Princesa de Asturiae and Cataluna. A r m m n r u t to B e Heavier. "Apart from the small variations of external appearance, the differences to which we allude are for the main part introduced in the armamentoTTfre new cruisers, which is to be heavier and at the same time more complete. "The characteristics of these cruisers are the foktowing: Length, 106 metres; breadth; 18m. 8cm.; draught, 6m. 6cm.; displacement, 7,000 tons; engines, 15,- 000 horse power, and speed 20 knots. Armor: Belt, 31cm.; deck, 5cm.; gun position, 27cm., and conning tower, 31cm. Armament: Hontoria system, 24cm., 2; 14cm. quick firing, 10; small calibre, 20; torpedo tubes, 8. "If our readers will take the pains to compare these official figures with figures should be sufficient to inspire in the pessimists and incredulous the necessary peace of mind, to close the mouths of those who are constantly stating that the Spanish forces are defective and those who so freely criticise the naval profession in our country. "Recent experiences of such Importance as that of the battle of the Yalu, in the Chino-Japanese war, have demonstrated the supremacy of quick firing ordnance, 'and the former custom of trusting to guns of immense calibre has gone out of date, while to-day the great aim of constructors is middle sized guns well protected. With that idea in mind the new cruisers have been equipped, for the rapid firing guns are perfectly protected by armor, and with special provision for a separate supply of shell. B e t t e r Than Old Type. "These points wil) mark the supremacy of the Cardinal Cisneros, Princesa de Asturitts amlXataluna over the Infanta Maria Theresa type. .

His commanding officer in those early days was Major Steward, long since retired, but still living. YearB later a young man drifted into the marine corps as a volunteer, a slender, soft-handed fellow, who was the butt of the company until "Dill" Anthony, the pride of the barracks, called a halt. The recruit proved to be the wayward son of Anthony's old major, and the big marine watched over him like a father. Anthony saw fourteen years of soldier ng, most of it cn the western plains before he threw in his fortunes with the marines. He was. always a marked man in the service, conspicuous for his magnificent physique, his cool courage, and perfect discipline. As a non-commissioned officer he A VIGOROUS BATTLE.

Brave "Bill" Anthony, marine orderly of the ill-fated battleship Maine, has a record to be proud of. Amidst the shrieks of wounded sailors and the rush of flames, with the great steel ship settling to its grave and the dead lying thick upon its shattered decks, brave The esddifttoo r of a Nebraska paper says he has "reached the slope on the other side of life," but never yet has he seen _aj_wojnian_wiUi_a frost-bitten ear, and never yet has a bonneTheeh^built~BIT as to keep the head warm. Other men have noticed that women dressed for the party have ridden' mttes in the coldest night without a particle of the discomfort felt by their warmly- ' dressed escort. These are curious facte, the scientists apparently do not know how to account for them. Those who are.studying the wheat situation are interested in the fact that the world's available wheat supply on February 1 was 152,000,000 bushels as against 173,000,000 bushels a year ago. Wheat is now commanding the highest prices in years and indications are that it will reach much higher figures before the new crop is harvested. The Chicago wheat syndicate is disposing of its holdings at fancy prices, and whenv this stock disappears, the resources of the country will be severely taxed to meet the demand. The Chicago market advanced three cents last week, and it is expected that all ret> ords for high prices will be broken before the deal is closed. ^ "This part of the garden fa the goveminent tangle."

In addition to this there is the finer model which will add still further speed. The armored belt which defends the vital parts of the Cardinal Cisneros is larger and the quality of the plates has improved, and we maintain hopes that the sister ship in Bilbao will have even stronger resistive power. The defensive power of the whole has also increased not a little, for they have the exceptional advantage of the installation of a battery of 14cm. quick firing guns. Compared w i t h Our S h i p s . "It seems, in our opinion, well to form comparative data with other navies as the best means of appreciating the relative value of the national forces and with that object in view we present to our readers for reference and analogy the three most powerful armored cruisers flying the United States flag, which serve to-day as the sword of Damocles to our Spanish pessimists. "The four fundamental properties of this class of ship, power defensive and offensive speed and radius of action, can be easily appreciated by the data which follows: Anthony made his report to Captain Sigsbee. That report—the essence of courage and discipline—should live In American history. "Sir," said the gallant orderly, standing at salute. "I have to inform you that the ship has been blown up and is sinking." "Bill" Anthony has carried a rifle in Uncle Sam's service since he was 17 years old. His father was a boss truckman in New York in the old days when Fifty-ninth street was out in the suburbs, and "Bill" was born within a stone's throw of the battery. He was a natural born soldier, six feet two Inches tall, broad-shouldered, narrowhipped, slender-limbed, and stouthearted. The family moved to New Jersey just about the time "Bill" completed a rather turbulen career in the public schools and one morning he. vanished. "Bill" had enlisted. That happened twenty- DIVER ON THE WRECKED MAINE, filled every position known to the military code, and filled them well. There was just one blemish in brave "Bill's" character—a blemish which many believe alone kept him out of a commission. "Bill" would drink, not often to excess, but invariably just at the wrong time, when his commanding officersfavorite though he was—could not wink at the offense^.. .) His last army service was at West Point, where he figured to the admiration of cadets and everybody else, as drum major. "Bill's" splendid figure and profound knowledge ] of Boid^ery won him this appointment, ., « Ten years ago he left the army and enlisted as a marine. It was tbe^old story over again—rapid advancements, followedxby the inevitable' setbacks, all due to unwise conviviality.

The Hall Bros.' Chemical works at Kalamazoo was discovered to be on fire at 10 p. m. and the entire fire department turned out to subdue the flumes. The firemen had about succeeded in controlling the blaze in the uppers toriea when there was a tremendous explosion, apparently in the basement, which lifted the whole interior and the roof of the structure into the air and demolished the walls, killing at least 10 men outright and wounding over a score of others. The dead are: George llalliday, driver of chemical engine; Pat McHugh, pipemau; John Hastings, Jr., spectator helping on hose: Charles Whiting, spectator; James Quigley, spectator helping on fire; William W'agar, fireman; L. L. Holloway, druggist; Frank Auwers, spectator; Eugene Dole, halfpay fireman; Joseph Clifford, telephone lineman. Wagar, Halliday, McHugh, Holloway, Quigley and Dole leave families. The seriously wounded are: James Utter, fireman, both legs broken; Jack McDermott, fireman, legs broken and face badly burned*; Ord Knight, fireman, head badly cut; Will Hastings, bad scalp wound and right foot blown off; George Chatterson. back broken and leg injured; Victor Vocelle, bad scalp wound and skull fractured. The building in which the explosion occurred and caused the death of ten men and seriously injured a number of others was a small four-story brick shell only 30" feet wide and 100 feet long and was located at the inter-section of Church street and the Michigan Central railroad. The thin, weak structure just burst like a cannon rocket. There was little fire to speak of. Up to the time of the explosion only an occasional faint flare was seen through the windows of the third story. It came as unexpected as a flash of lightning from a clear sky. The fire boys and citizens were working side by side, close up to the building, and no one had given the first thought of danger, although everyone knew the nature of the contents of the structure. The most remarkable feature of the disaster is the proportion of death to the size of ruins. Strange to say, also, there was not a single individual in the building when the fatal explosion occurred. Both the killed and injured were buried in the brick and mortar of the walls or struck by flying pieces. The walls of the building were but one foot/iti^Sfaickness and thA explosion simply scattered them like grape shot the mouth of a cannon. Pipeman Patrick McHugh who was working on a Ladder at the front of the building was thrown clear across Church street Important Tat Tftlo CABC. The supreme court has taken under advisement the now famous tux title case of the Connecticut Mutual Life Insurance Co. against the auditor-genera and Eugene B. Wood. The* supreme court recently decided in favor of the for'nier, but granted a rehearing. The state's attorneys argue that if the court reaffirms its former decision, the immediate effect would be to exempt about 34,000,000 of delinquent taxes from collection, and that 0,000 people who had bought 1,500 homesteads, aggregating 1213,000 acres, and had matte improvements valued at 8450,000, would be rendered homeless, to say nothing of the 8750,000 of taxes that would be canceled on those lands. Such a decission would bankrupt the treasuries of the state and municipalities; paralyze the collection of the revenue; necessitate rewriting the books of the auditorgeneral's office; necessitate a new law; nullify the work of the ia8U tax commission; prevent the collection of taxes assessed and returned prior to the law of 1891; bury the supreme and circuit courts under an avalanche of litigation; invalidate all but the first year's sales; cause a loss to the state, of hundreds of thousands of dollars on advertising fees and charges: destroy the state tax land lists, and cause the utmost confusion in pending legal proceedings. Pardon* and Gov. Pingree has Parole*, pardoned Elgie Stevens, sent from Calhoun county Dee 31,1896, to three years in Ionia prison, for burglary. The following convicts have been paroled: John S. Brown, sent from Detroit. March 28, 1896, to Ionia for three years for daylight burglary; J. W. liadgley, Mackinac county, Sept. 16, 1893, to Marquette prison for eight years for attempted criminal assault; Frank Bartlett. Clinton county, Feb. 11, 1896. to Ionia for two years for assault; David Smith. Eaton county, May 5, 1896. to Ionia for three years for embezzlement. Michigan Coal Miners Strike. Over 300 miners employed in the Monitor and Hay county coal mines are on a strike for an eight-hour workday and an increase in wages. Good miners can earn as much as 83 per day under the present scale, whioL is 82¾ to 92¾ cents per ton for coal over a oneinch screen. The Hay county scale is 17¾ cents a ton higher than the Saginaw scale. Tne one-inch screen is also used by Saginaw operators. and struck the wall of Clarage & Son's foundry on the opposite side. The entire basement of the building was devoted to the laboratory. The offices occupied the front part of the first floor and back of it was the labeling room and stock room. The second floor was used as a store room for empty bottles and the pill factory. The entire third floor was occupied by the Kalamazoo paper box factory. The monetary loss is comparatively slight. That of Hall Bros. & Co. is about ¢25,- 000, and of the paper box firm 85,000. Both firms are almost fully insured. Had the Village Fathers Arrested. Timothy Nester, president of the village of Munising, has caused the arrest of Councilmen P. T. Moore, David Bruneau and John T. Hansen. ex-Councilman T. E. Bissell, and Claude W. Case, cashier of the Munising State bank, and Michael S. Somers, representing the Shaw-Kendall Engineering Co., of Toledo, charging them with conspiracy to defraud the village in the matter of putting in a 330.000 waterworks system. Mr. Case resented the charge and promptly had President Nester arrested on a charge of slander. Both sides have engaged good legal talent and an interesting fight is anticipated. Natural Ga» at Fort Huron. A company organized at Port Huron for the development of the natural gas •apply believed to be located underneath that locality, struck a gusher on the E. £. Marootte property when down only 104 feet. The well was plugged up until a gauge could be attached and the exact pressure ascertained. If the present pressure continues the amount of gas to beobtained from the wells is said to be sufficient to supply the present needs of the. entine city. / Watenaaeet Badly Scorched. The business part, of the village of Watersmeet was destroyed by fire. Vhetaas is estimated at 825,000, with but little insurance. This is the third big fire there within two years. The •loves will probably not be rebuilt. Among the buildings destroyed were the Commercial house and John Kelly's 4lry goods store. Pliigree Name* Maltz to Succeed Juat* Gov. Pingree announced the appointment of George L. Maltz, of Detroit, formerly of Alpena, to the office of state banking commissioner, tc succeed the late Banking Commissioner Just. The appointment was no*, unexpected, and it is understood the governor had received the assurance of the appointee that it would be accepted. The appointment is quite generally commended. Boiler Burst—Mill Blown Up—Two Dead A frightful accident occurred in Clark & Acker's shingle mill at Wetmore. The boilers blew up. entirely destroying the. mill, killing two men and fatally injuring others. The dead are: Hugh Long and Peter Morris. George Moore, of Au Train, ex-sheriff of Alger county, is perhaps fatally injured. Peter IJrix and Herman Zantz are both badly wounded, while several others have slight injuries. The loss is estimated at about $2,000. J. M. Bo.-;l\vivk, cashier of the Minden City bank, and his wife and child werefound uncouscious in their bed from coal gas. Their lives were saved difficulty; Traverse City Klondikers are not superstitious. A party of 13 left at one time for the gold fields. They will go via Seattle. Mr. G randy a wealthy farmer, aged 68 years of age, is going for pleasure. Loyis Rock, of Ludington, is 103 years old. His wife is 8r> years old, and they have lived together as man and wife for 70 years. They have 13 children, 35 grandchildren and 27 greatgrandchildren. The Michigan Sugar Co., which is erecting a large beet sugar refinery at Nay City, has received two carloads of sugar beet seed direct from Germany and will distribute 80,000 pounds of seed to farmers. One of the most extensive and richest deposits of marl in Michigan has been discovered south of Mosherville, in Hillsdale county. A stock company with 8100,000 capital has secured leases of adjacent lands. The Crump Manufacturing Co., of Bay City, has received a large order for dynamite and cartridge boxes. As the government manufactures its own boxes to meet ordinary demand this must be an emergency order. The Chamber of Commerce of Kalamazoo held a meeting and subscriptions amounting to $2,000 were made, which with others makes 83,000 so far for the families of firemen killed by the Hall chemical works explosion. Ex-Secretary of State J. W. Jochim, of Ishpeming, announces his candidacy for the office again. Gov. Rich removed him for neglect of duty in connection with the salary amendment frauds, and Mr. Jochim wants a vindication. Mr. and Mrs. Milton S.

The lands disposed of were for the most part primary school and Agricultural college lands. Members of the G. A. R. and honor- Uncle Sam Awaits the Report of the CouTTNf Inquiry, but IS PREPARING FOR WAR, .AND Will not be Caught Napping If War Nhould be the Outcome of the Kfaiue UUa »ter—Frenldrnt MoKluley Will Take Prompt Action Wheu the Time Cuwt>« Awaiting the report of the naval court of inquiry as to the cause of the Maine disaster there is very little change in the situation. There are rumors and rumors as well as multitudinous surmises, conjectures and theories as to the cause of the destruction of the warship, the probable report of the board of inquiry and the proposed action of the administration at Washington. Notwithstanding all this uncertainty there are certain surface indications which are observed with interest by all who are watching the progress of affairs. Among these may be mentioned an interview given out by Secretary of the Navy Long at the close of a meeting of President McKinley's cabinet, in which he expressed the opinion that "in his judgment any official participation by the Spanish government in the blowing up of the vessel had been eliminated." The query that arises in the public mind is on what facts the secretary bases that opinion, for up to this time the department has announced that every dispatch bearing on the disaster has been given to the "public. It is well that the Secretary in his statement does not use the word "responsibility," for whatever the report of the court may be there is little doubt but that this government will hold the Spanish government responsible in damages for the loss of the battleship and lives of the men.

Mrs. George Davidson, aged 28, wife of a carpenter at St. Joseph, left her home at night dressed only in her night gown, and with her two weeks' old babe in her arms. She boarded the tug Hohn and from thence plunged into the river, and both mother and child were drowned. The body of Mrs. Davidson was recovered, but the babe was probably swept out into the lake. Richard Schuler, a deaf mute, was ran down by a Grand Trunk engine at Port Huron and shockingly mutilated while walking along the Grand Trunk track.

The money spent was all the aged father had in the world, and he lias been taken to the Soldiers' home. The mother was burh in t: fitter's field. At the capitol there has been a great deal of adverse criticism of the administration for its apparent policy of peace at any price. Where there was a few days ago an evidence of a strong policy on this question and an indication that Spain would be dealt with in a firm but just manner, there is now a complete change of seniment, and the administration is beginning to talk of the possibility of settling the whole affair through the ordinary channels of diplomacy. Diplomacy, it is contended by many public men, cannot deal properly with this subject, for diplomacy means delay and aggravating postponements of the final day of reckoning. However, congress may intervene. It has the constitutional power to declare war. Once Capt. Sigsbee is exonerated it will be difficult to restrain the representatives of the people. Already there are mutterings against the acceptance of an indemnity for the murder of our brave sailors-and more than one member of the House has said that unless the administration takes satisfactory action without unnecessary delay the representatives will take a hand in the case. There are threats that the Spaniards will not be humored in procrastination. The stiff announcement from Madrid that Spain never will consider an offer to purchase Cuba has shown with what contempt that people will regard our talk of monejv for the loss of the battleship Maine. Secretary of War Alger is showing a spirt which is gratifying to patriotic Americans, although he has won the disapproval of certain conservative statesmen who "don't want business disturbed by warlike action." Gen. Alger gave an order to the Carpenter Steel Co., the Mid vale Steel Co. and the Firth Sterling Steel Co., for 81,000,000 worth of projectiles to be deHvered as soon as the Lord will let those concerns make them. Some of the grunters objected to this kind of action and intimated that congress might refuse to make an appropriation to pay for the projectiles, when a prominent congressman replied tartly: "Secretary Alger is all right. He has made other contracts for material, and as long as he is secretary of war this country will have the material to fight with, appropriation or no appropriation. He is placing our military forces upon a splendid footing and if the congress of the United States does not appropriate money to pay for it Gen Alger will pay it out of his own pockets." Without adding unnecessarily to the flood of conjecture concerning the finding of the court of inquiry it is fair to say that as a matter of fact most of the naval officers at Havana and at Key West incline to the opinion that the court will find that the disaster to the Maine was caused by the explosion of a floating submarine miae under the port aWe of the ship forward. Opinions agree, not only as to the existence of mines in the harbor, but also that this one was laid purposely near the buoy where foreign vessels were directed to moor, anO was fired from an electric battery qn shore. It is further regarded as settled by the evidence before the court that the port side of the hull forward was completely blown to pieces and that the only explosion on the Maine, except of isolated cases of fixed ammunition, was that of 2,000 pounds of saluting powder, stored forward, and of which «o trwe van be found, t j ! Notes en the War Situation. The Spanish cruiser Vizcaya has arrived at Hava»a from New York. Sha was given a big reception by the Spanish residents. Two'Spanishdivers have begun work about the wreck of the Maine, and it is understood they will report to the Spanish board appointed to inquire into the cause of the disaster. Martin Iledding, a diver who was taken to Havana to work on the wreck of the Maine,, has returned to Key West. It is said that lie talked too much and displeased the court of inquiry. The American divers who ar$ working steadily forward are encountering continual difficulties, and it is certain that the arrival of the wrecking tug Merritt with a large barge, additional men and complete apparatus will now hasten the work of salvage. Two warships are to be sent to Cuba, the cruiser Montgomery to Matanzas and the gunboat Nashville to Sagua la Grande, to carry relief supplies to the suffering Cuban reconeentrados at those ports The relief measures are proving unexpectedly successful and supplies are running into carloads ajid hundreds of tons. Secretary Long has authorized an absolute and positive denial of a report that a partial or preliminary report has been received by the government from the court of inquiry. The court is directly under the orders of Admiral Sicard. It is understood at Washington the court has not completed its work at Havana. Secretary Alger does not like the assertion of Secretary Long that the theory of the participation of Spain in the Maine disaster has been eliminated from the situation. He says it is only a personal expression with no foundation of fact. Speaker Reed says that "Long is an ass." President MeKinley has also expressed disapproval of Long'sopinions^. The situation at Havana is said to be quiet, with no open demonstrations against Americans. Of course, in the low dives and saloons there are constant boasts by irresponsible persons as to what they intend to do to Americans; but these people are only dangerous in case riotous demonstrations came from other quarters, such, for instance, as the volunteers. "On the day that the white squadron opens fire on Havana Maximo Gomez at the head of the Cuban patriot army will begin an attack by land. He will keep on lighting until Havana surrenders or nothing is left of it but a heap of ruins." These were the words of Col. Kmilio Nunez, of New York, who commanded the filibustering expedition which has just been landed in Cuba from the steamer Dauntless. In reply to a suggestive question a naval official at Havana said: "The court of inquiry has not had to depend upon dive***—testimony—alone"—then,— realizing that he had said more than he iutended, the officer resumed his habitual reserve. It is believed that the testimony of Lieutenant-Commander Wainwright' was highly important as bearing on the question of the existence of submarine mines in Havana harbor. The work of getting ready for service the various war vessels out of commission is being rapidly pushed. Capt. Mortimer Johnson has been assigned *• as commander of the monitor Mianton- Vi omah. which is now nearly ready to leave League island. The cruisers Columbia and Minneapolis will follow shortly afterward, and orders have been issued to test t h e machinery of the eight old single-turret war monitors at League island with a view of using them to command channel approaches. In reply to the strong denial of Senor du Bosc, Spanish charge d'affairs at Washington, that there are mines,in the harbor of Havana, the diplomats show that Senor de Lome frequently alluded to Hav&naV magnificent defenses. At the time Senator Mills said in the senate, "Let us take Cuba," de Lome remarked contemptuously to an American professor Of history who was visiting him at the time: "Let them take the mines from Havana harbor first. Even Constantinople is not more safe from this threatened invasion." The New York Herald's Havana correspondent asserts positively that the Maine is completely torn asunder. The keel has-' been found in two pieces, the nearest ends of which are now separated by distance of from two and a half to three feet. The sections are no longer lying in one straight line, but show the effect of a force exerted from port to starboard. It is evident, from the discovery of the present condition of the keel, that the section of the bottom found 29 feet from its natural position was wrenched from the keel by the first explosion and driven upwards. The keel itself was forced in the middle until it was broken in two, and then collapsed in two sections. This has convinced the men working about the wreck that further investigation aa to the manner in which the ship was blow.n ,up is useless, au4 thpjj qauaider the question solved beyond a doubt. The feeling among American naval officers in Havana is that, beyond the the recovery of the dead remaining in tin EFiifriiiH useful \vpckt in oonnec- AftaaMlth the Wreck hffs J)«eu done. * VMky: • « •W M*»M imf'i ili—fci'iiiir >^ *&Mmiem*dMimmi*i MHPwmfPv* •PWPPP«» J l . l ^ l l l l I I I I I I I I P llll I I * f l l M i l l 1114*1 - >« • t, J- J\ A FRIEND'S ADVICE.

At sixty-one she fiudd liejsel/ so active and strong she can do work, that would shame many a younger woman, and looks back on thirty-six happy, healthful yeara of industry. But lei her tell her story : "Thirty-six years ago I had great trouble with my Ijver. The doctors ullowed that there wrre tumors gruwiutf on it, and they blistered ray side in an eriort to give me relief. I was at that time earniug my living a* a tailored, but for five years, between tlie pain in my side and the blisters I was iu constant misery, and work was a draff to me, with no prospect of relief; fortunately for me, however, a Irieuii advised me to take Dr. Ayer's Barsaparilla, and finally persuaded jne to take a regular course of it. When I first commeticcd taking the Sarsaparilla my side was so painful that I could not faste'n my dress, ami for u timo I did not get any reliel, but my friend advised me to persevere and relief was sure to come, and come it did. This happened, as I say, thirty-six years ago.

The balance wheel of a woman's life is menstruation. On the proper performance of this function depends her health. Irregularity lays the foundation of many diseases, and is in itself symptom of disease. I t is of the greatest importance that regularity be accomplished as soon as possible after the flow is an established fact. Disturbance of the menstrual function poisons the blood. In young girls suppression develops latent inherited tendencies to scrofula or consumption, and no time must be lost in restoring regularity. Many a young girl goes to her grave because this difficulty has been thought lightly of, and mother has said, "Time will bring about a cure; she is young, I don't worry about her." Mother, when you see your daughter languid and indifferent to things that usually interest a young girl, when you note that flush on her cheek, that glassy appearance in her eyes; when your daughter tells you that even the weight of her dress waist oppresses her, and that she has terrible pains in her stomach shortly after eating, don't ignore these signs! If you do, you will be following your daughter to the grave, for she will die ! This is gospel truth—she is developing consumption of the bowels I Lydia E Pinkham's Vegetable Compound is the greatest regulator known t o ihedicine.

CHAPTER XVII.—(Continued.) proud and happy to be She had a pretty little brass stand, a tray, spirit lamp and kettle, and with this apparatus she always made the tea herself with much pride, and some help from Dick. It generally fell to Dick's lot to light the lamp, but today she was all ready for him, and had but to turn up the light a little to have the water bjlling. "There," she said, after about five minutes," and handing him a cup of tea. Now tell me all—everything." "Well," said Dick, finding himself thus fairly up in a corner, and unable to put off the evil moment any longer, "I went." "Yes?" eagerly. "And I saw her ladyship." "Oh! and is she up?" "Up! My dear child, Lady Aylmer is as well as I am," he answered. Dorothy looked at him in wonder. "Oh! Dick," ehe cried, "but what a wicked old man?" "Ah! I fancy it runs In the blood," said Dick, easily. "One man couldn't have so much original sin of ins own as the old 3tivage hai,; it muoi be heredity." 'Ihen do you think you will tell horribly wicked stories when you are Lord Aylmer, Dick?" she asked, roguishly. Perhfips—who knows? All the same able to do something to help you," she replied. "I would rather that you were here; but, then, I would always rather that you were here. That is not a new feeling for me. And I shall not be alone. I shall have Barbara, you know. Barbara will take care of me, and let yon know exactly how I get on." "No; I cannot let you do it," he said, when she paused. "Yea, yes, you can, dear. Besides, it is not only ourselves that we have to think of. There 1B the child; and although If we go to India together, we might be able to get along pretty well by ourselves, we should not be able to afford to send the child home, if the climate was bad for it. Why, Dick dear, we should not be able to afford to come home ourselves, if we could not stand the, heat." "That is true," he admitted. "And don't you think," she went on eagerly, "that I would rather live as I am doing npw for a year or two longer than I would run the risk of seeing you die, perhaps, because we had not money to bring us home? Just think what I should feel like if we were in such a case as that." "But, darling, you don't know—you don't realize how very different life would be out there," he urged. "Here, very few people take the trouble to there is-one story—t-shall never taft-L notice us, one way or aaotherr-and if ; t you," drawing her tenderly toward him. "I shall always be true as the Gospels when I tell you that I love you better than any other woman in all the world." Something in his voice touched the tenderest chords of her heart, and set throbbing and beating with a sickening sensation of fear. "Dick," she said in a whisper, "is it very bad news that you are trying to break to me— dues it mean India, after all?" Dick looked straight into her clear eyes. "My dear little love," he said, "I am afraid it does mean India, after all; but if it does, ii --mall mean India for us both." He told her everything then—how Lady Aylmer had received him, how she had openly declared that her husband had some scheme of his own to get rid of then? both, how the old savage had rece/.^d him, and what end their interview" had come to. But, of course," he Wound up7 "although"!" took time to consider it, my mind was made up in a moment. I shall refuse the appointment." There was a moment's silence. "Di%;k, dearest," said Dorothy, in a quivering voice, "is it a very good thing to be a military secretary to a governor-general ?" "Oh, well—yes—it is, dear," he admitted. "I mean, would you have refused it if you had not been married, if you had never seen me?" "No, I don't suppose I should. I dare say I should never have bothered to get such an appointment, because, as you know, I hate the very idea of going to India, but, at the same time, to be quite honest, I don't suppose I should have refused. I don't suppose any man in his senses would." Dorothy drew her breath sharply, and for a minute or two did not speak. "Dick, darling," she said at length, "it is true that you are married, but I don't see that that is any reason why you should not be in your senses, too." "What do you mean, Dorothy?" he asked quickly. "Well, just this. Supposing that Lord Aylmer had let you refuse this appointment, and had not made himself disagreeable about your allowance, we should have to go on just as we are doing now. And, of course, Dick dear, I should like to be Mrs. Aylmer instead of Mrs. Harris, and to live with the regiment rather than in Palace Mansions; but—but, at the same time, since there is so much to be gained by it, I would just as soon be Mrs. Harris in one place as in another, if I must be Mrs. Harris at all." Dick caught her close to him. "Dorothy, you mean " he began. "I mean," she ended firmly, "that I would sooner go ttfTndia as^Mrs. Harris than drag you down in your profession, and put you at loggerheads with your uncle; because he is your uncle, and the head of your family, even though he is such an old savage as he is." "But, my dear, my dear, do you know that In that case I should have to go at once" he cried. "Yes, I know that, Dick," she an s wared. "But I can't leave you alone, lust now—I can't, Dorothy," he exclaimed. "It's impossible; it would be inhuman. Why, I should be out of my mind with aaudsty and distress." ***»«, «M>—you would kgrfW that I WSJI they do, it does not much matter. But out there, as military secretary, I should have a lot to do. I should scarcely have a moment to myself. I should not be able to go anywhere with you, and probably very seldom be able to come and see you." But you would be able to come sometimes,'' she answered, with a brave smile. "Every one knows that half a loaf is better than no bread, and if one cannot get even half a loaf, it is foolish to quarrel with the slice which keeps one from starving." Dick's heart felt like to break, "Dorothy, Dorothy," he said, "my dear little brave, unselfish wife, every word you say makes me love you a thousand times more than I did before. My dearest, I give in to anything that you wish; you shall decide everything, and I—I will give all the rest of my life to trying to make you feel that you did not throw away your love and con- -ftdence when—you gave—them to ore.** So they arranged that Dick should accept the appointment of military sec- "DOROTHY! DOROTHY!" retary to Lord Skevversleigh, and that two days later he should go and see his uncle again, and tell him the decision to which he had come. Dorothy had begged him to go and see him the following day, but Dick held out firmly there. No, he would have one more day of liberty before he went over to the enemy and gave himself up. "We will have a real happy day, darling," he said, when Dorothy had/ given way about imparting the ne^s to the savage. "By-and-by we shall have more money than opportunity of spending it together—let us m&Ke hay while we can. First, we win go and have a look at the shops together, and I will buy you somethingyou can always wear "till we meet again; then we will go to some gptod place and get a little lunch; and afterwards have a drive, come bacK here, dress, dine somewhere, a n d d o a theater after it. There, what db you say to that for a real happy day?" Dorothy/said that it would be delightful/ and thought—well, with something like dismay, that she should never get through it all. Yet the fear of/once giving way and breaking down ltogether kept her up, and she went bravely through with that happy day, which afterwards lived in her mind as being one long spell of agony. And after that she wore upon her wrist Dick's trust gift to her—a sjoMen bangle, with two words inscribes upon it in little diamonds, which caught the light inH flaahftri th«<r m "% CHAPTER. XVHL ORD AyhBtr slttlng alo«« in hi* library, smoking a cigarette, and wondering what answer Dick would bring him when he thought proper to come again to give in his decision. He was a handsome old man, not BO very old in years, but aged in wickedness. A handsome man still, with aquiline features, a flushed face, and a goodly crop of white curly hair. Your first thought on looking at him was, "What a charming old gentleman!" your second, "What a pair of steely eyes!" your third, "What a Mephistopheles!" Yes, without the shadow of a doubt, Lord Aylmer was a wicked man, with a bad heart filled to the brim, and running over with all manner of evil. They say, you know, that women' novelists always make their heroes all good, till they are as insipid' as the dummies in a tailor's window; or ett>e that they go to the other extreme, an<i make their villlans such unmitigated villians that it is impossible to find one single ray of virtue wherewith to redeem their character from its inky pall of utter blackness. But let me tell you that if all the women novelists who write stories in the English language were to concentrate their efforts, upon the task of trying to depict the villainy of Lord Ayhner's natural depravity, I am afraid that in the end they would have to call in the aid of their masculine confreres to adequately complete the portrait. For the noble lord was jail bad, thor-^ oughly bad—what up in the nortfe country they call "bad, core through/ Yet he had a delightful manner when he chose, and in early middle age had made a genuine love-snatch with a beautiful young woman at least sixteen years younger than himself—* penniless as well as a beautiful young woman, upon whom he had lavished so much love and attention that within three months of his marriage his love had burned itself out, and was as dead as any dead volcano. A few weeks later Lord Aylmer practically separated himself from his wife, although they continued to share the same house, and he appeared before tbe world as much as possible as If no breach had ever been opened between them. Not by Lord Aylmer's desire, this— oh! no, but because her ladyship had never been so genuinely in love w^t> him as he had been with her, and was, moreover, perfectly alive to the solid worldly advantages of being Lord Aylmer's wife, the mistress of Aylmer's Field and of the handsome town house in v,elgrave Square. "Of course I know that there are others," she said in reply to a dear friend who thought it her duty to open this young wife's eyes," "and, of course, I know that Aylmer wants to get rid of me; but I don't mean to be got rid of, and I put up with the others because I think doing so the lesser of two evils. There is only one Lady Aylmer, and she is a strong and healthy young woman, who means to be Lady Aylmer for at least fifty years longer. Yes, I know, my dear, all that you feel about it. I quite appreciate your feelings toward me. Oh, yes, it was your duty to tell me, but I am not going to cut myself out of all that makes life worth living just to oblige a husband who has got tired of me in three months." To this decision Lady Aylmer had from that time forward kept most rigidly. As far as her husband was concerned, nothing seemed to annoy her, and whenever she wished to do so and condescended to try to get her own wajy by means of a little flattery, she generally succeeded; and now that Lord/Aylmer had got into the "sixties" she was simply a stately, even-temperedf, iron-willed and exceedingly healthy /woman, who looked as if she meant to live to be ninety. It was partly on the subject of his wife's extreme healthiness that Lord Aylmer was thinking that morning ashe smoked his cigarette and tried t o assure himself that ore twinge in his left foot were merely a sign of a coming shower and nothing in the wort* to do with gout at all. And Just at a worse twinge than usual made h i s wince and shiver, the door opened gently and a man-aery ant made his appearance. (To be Continued.) Savin* CIOMC tpae* la flats.

By request, we clip the following from t h e Mason News:— " T h i s community was saddened Jas.t Friday, February 25, to hear of ihe death of Mrs. Flora E. Sprout at the parental home just west of this city. She was the e'd»'>t d a u g h t e r of Mr. and M r s . A. F . Wood and was born in Woodville, Jefferson Co., N . Y., April 17, 1850. coming to this place with her parents and two sisters in the fall of 1806, That year she atunited in thn heavenly home. As a community, as a church, we mourn for tbe loss of a true, mother, a >ister in Christ, whose cheery smile and helpful loving words lightened many a burden.

Very well; let us see whether she will cipher him some time after the ceremony. A Frenchman sleeps in italics, snores in small capitals, talks in thunder, gesticulates in cyclone and acts in tornado. He feels it all, and means less than one-tenth of it. Not that the nine-tenths are hypocrisy, but—that they are dramatic froth, discounted In final solution at the bank of effervescence. Surgeon General Weyman has statistics to prove that typhoid fever causes the death of 45,000 persons in this country every year. Yet the people, while calmly ignoring the dreadful ravages of this baffling disease, are frightened into cold perspiration at the mere mention of cholera or yellow fever. Hard work enables a woman weaver In New Bedford to earn six dollars a week, but her employers reduce that to three dollars by fines. A little further reduction might not only wipe out the balance but oblige the woman to pay the employers a considerable weekly sum. Let us consider therefore how generous the employers are and how conservatively they use their power for tyranny. A member of the New York bar insists that not more than one-hall of the witnesses before judicial tribunals tell the truth under oath, and that the other half are conscious and deliberate perjurers. Other lawyers who have spoken on the subject agree with his general statement, although they do not place the number so high, and all of them say that this lack of veracity is a comparatively recent weakness. The present system of road building In most states is not only expensive, but absolutely inefficient. Road building'is a science, which cannot be successfully applied by men who have not made it a study. "The trained road •builder," says the New Jersey commissioner, "is just as necessary as the trained doctor, manufacturer or educator." When this fact is recognited and a system of scientific roadmaking becomes established by proper legislation, the advantages that are sure to follow will make the rural population wonder how they could have been so shortsighted as to nave put off a useful reform so long. In declining an invitation of the Prince of Wales, a newly elected member of Parliament once •elegraphed, "Lie follows by mail."

So the Lord our Shepnerd has a largo pasture ground. He takes us HAT with post and rail fences, and our pride in houthdowib Astrakhan and* Flemish \arleties of sheep; there is no use now of the old-time shepherd. Such an one had abundance of opportunity of becoming a poet, being out of doors twelve hours the day, and oft-times waking up in the night on the hills. If the stars, or the torrents, or the sun, or the flowers", had anything to say, he was very apt to hear it. The Ettrick Shepherd of Scotland, who afterwards took his seat in the brilliant circle of Wilson and Lockhart, got his wonderful poetic inspiration in the ten years in which he was watching the flocks of Mr. Laidlaw. There is often a sweet poetry In the rugged prose of the Scotch shepherd. One of these Scotch shepherds lost his only son, and he knelt down In prayer and was overheard to say, "O Lord, it has seemed good in thy providence to take from me the staff of my right hand at the time when to us sand-blind mortals I seemed to be most In need of it, and how I shall climb up the hill of sorrow and auld ago without it, thou mayst ken, but I dlnna." David, the shepherd boy, is watching his father's sneepr They are pasturing on the very hiPs where afterward a Lamb was born of which you have heard much, "the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sins of the world." David, the shepherd boy, was beautiful, brave, musical and poetic. I think he often forgot the sheep in his reveries. There in the solitude he struck the harp string that is thrilling through the ages. David, the bo/, was gathering the material for David, the poet, and David the man. Like other boys, David was fond of using his knife among the saplings, and he had noticed the exuding of the Juice of the tree; and when he became a man, he said, "The trees of the Lord are full of sap." David, the boy. like other boys, had been fond of hunting the birds' nests and he had driven the old stork off the nest to find out how many eggs were under her; and when he became a man, he said, "As for the storkt the fir trees are her house." In boyhood "he had heard the terrific thunder— storm that frightened the red deer into premature sickness; and when he became a man, he said, "The voice of the Lord maketh the hinds to calve." David, the boy, had lain upon his back looking up at the stars and examining the sky, and to his boyish imagination the sky seemed like a piece of divine embroidery, the divine fingers working in the threads of light and the beads of stars; and he became a man and wrote, "When I consider thy heavens, the work of thy fingers." When he became an old man, thinking of the goodness of God, he seemed to hear the bleating of his father's sheep across many years, and to think of the time when he tended them on the Bethlehem hills, and he cries out in thejtext, "The Lord is my shepherd." If God will help me, I. will talk to you of the shepherd's plaid, the shepherd's crook, the shepherd's dogs, the shepherd's pasture grounds and the shepherd's flocks. And first: The shepherd's plaid: It would be preposterous for a man going out to rough and besoiling work to put on splendid apparel. The potter does not work in velvet; the serving maid does not put on satin while toiling at her duties; the shepherd does not wear a splendid robe in which to go out attiidst the storms, and the rocks, and the nettles; he puts on the rough apparel appropriate to his exposed work. The Lord our Shepherd, coming out to hunt the lost sheep, puts on no regal apparel, but the plain garment of our humanity. There was nothing pretentious about it. I know the old painters represent a halo about the babe Jesus, but I do not suppose that there was any more halo about that child than about the head of any other batte that was born that Christmas eve in Judea. Becoming a man, he wore a seamless garment. The scissors and needle had done nothing to make it graceful. I take it to have been a sack with three holes in it; one for the neck, and two for the arms. Although the gamblers quarreled over It there is no evidence of its value. I have seen two rag pickers quarrel over the refuse of an ash barrel. No; in the wardrobe of heaven he left the sandals of light, the girdles of beauty, the robes of power, and put on the besotted and tattered raiment of our humanity. Sometimes he did not even wear the seamless robe. What is that hanging about the waist of Christ? Is It a badge of authority? Is It a royal to recline at the meal, and so Jesus \ in the summer to the mountains, and washes their feet, and gather,* them up in the towel to dry them. The work of saving this world was rough work, rugged work, hard work; and Jesus put on the raimeut, the plain raiment, of our flesh. The storms'were to beat him, the crowds were to jostle him, the dust was to sprinkle him, the mobs were to pursue him. Oh, Shepherd of Israel! leave at home thy bright array, For thee,'what streams to ford, what nights all unsheltered! He puts upon him the plain raiment of our humanity; wears our woes, and while earth and heaven and hell stand amazed at the abnegation.wraps around him the shepherd's plaid. "Cold mountains and the midnight air, Witnessed the fervor of his prayer." Next I mention the shepherd's crook. This was a rod with a curve at the end, which, when a sheep was going astray, was thrown over its neck; and in that way it was pulled back. When the sheep were not going astray, the shepherd would often use it as a sort of crutch, leaning on it; but when the sheep were out of the way, the crook was always busy pulling them back. All we, like sheep, have gone astray, and had it not been for the shepherd's crook, we would have fallen long ago over the precipices, Here is a man who is making too much money. He is getting very vain. He says, "After a while I shall be independent of all the world. Oh, my soul, eat, drink and be merry." Business disaster comes to him. What is God going to do with him? Has God any grudge against him? Oh, no. God is throwing over him the shepherd's crook and pulling him back into better pastures. Here is a man who has always been well. He has never had -any—sympat hy.f or_l n vallds; he calls them coughing, wheezing "hliis arrces. After"a while sickness comes to him. He does not understand what God is going to do with him. He says, "Is the Lord angry with me?" Oh, no. With the shepherd's crook he has been pulled back into better pastures. Here is a happy household circle. The parent docs not realize the truth that these children are only loaned to bira, and he forgets from what source came his domestic blessings. Sickness drops upon those children and death swoops upon a little one. He says, "Is God angry with me?" No. His shepherd's crook pulls him back into better pastures. I do not know what would have become of us if it had not been for the shepherd's crook. Oh, the mercies of our troubles! You take up apples and plums from under the shade of the trees, and the very best fruits of Christian character we find in the deep shade of trouble. —Whan-Lja^is' on the steamer, coming in the winter to the valleya. Warm dayB of prosperity come, and we stand on sun-gilt Sabbaths, and on hills of transfiguration; and we are so high up we can catch a glimpse of the pinnaclou of the heavenly city. Then cold wintry days of trouble come, and we go down into the valley of sickness, want, and bereavement, and we say, "Is there any sorrow like unto my sorrow?" But, blessed be God, the Lord'H sheep can find pasture anywhere. Between two rocks of trouble a tuft of succulent promises; green pastures beside still waters; long sweet grass between bitter graves. You have noticed the structure of the sheep's mouth? It 13 so sharp that it can take up a blade of grass or clover top from the very narrowest spot. And so God's sheep can pick up comfort where others can gather none. "The secret of the Lord is with them that fear him." Rich pasture, fountain-fed pasture, for all the flock of the Good Shepherd. The hill of Zion yields A thousand sacred sweets Before we reach the heavenly fields, Or walk the golden streets. Lastly: Consider the shepherd's fold. The time of sheep shearing was a very glad time. The neighbors gathered together, and they poured wine and danced for joy. The sheep were putin a place inclosed by a wall, where it was very easy to count them, and know whether any of them had been taken by the jackals or dogs. The inciosure was called the sheep-fold. Good news I have to tell you, in that our Lord the Shepherd has a sheep-fold, and those who are gathered in it shall,never be struck by the storm, shall never be touched by the jackals of temptation and trouble. It ba3 a high wall—so high that no troubles can get in—so -hiEhrtfrat-the jopi cannotjjetout. How glad the old sheep will be to flnd~fhe~ lambs ihat left them a good many years ago! Millions of children in heaven! Oh, what a merry heaven it will make! Not many long meter psalms there. They will be in the majority, and will run away with our song, carrying it up to a still higher point of ecstasy. Oh, there will be shouting. If children on earth clapped their hands and danced for joy, what will they do when, to the gladness of childhood pn earth, is added the gladness of childhood in heaven? It is time to get over these morbid ideas of how we shall get out of this world. You make your religion an un* dertaker planing coffins and driving hearses. Your religion smells of the varnish of a funeral casket. Rather let your religion today come and show you the sheepfold that God has provided for you.

I expected to be hurt very much, but without any pain, and instantly he removed the cinder. Oh, there come times in our Christian life, when our spiritual vision is being spoiled, and all gentle appliances fail. Then there comes some giant trouble, and black-handed, lays hold of us and removes that which would have ruined our vision forever. I will gather all your joys together in one regiment of ten companies, and I will put them under Colonel Joy. Then I will gather all your sorrows together in one regiment of ten companies, and. put them under Colonel Breakheart. Then I will ask, which of these regiments has gained for you the greater spiritual victories? Certainly that under Colonel Breakheart. In the time of war, you may remember, at the Sonth and North, the question was whether the black troops would fight; but when they were put into the struggle on both sides, they did heroically. In that great day of eternity it will be found that it was not the white regiment of joys that gained your greatest successes, but the black troops of trouble, misfortune and disaster. WThere you have gained one spiritual success from your prosperity, you have gained ten spiritual successes from your adversity. * You have noticed that different flocks of sheep have different marks upon them; sometimes a red mark, sometimes a blue mark,sometimes a straight mark, sometimes a crooked mark. The Lord our Shepherd has a mark for his sheep. It is a red mark—the mark of the cross. "Blessed are they that are persecuted for righteousness' sake, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven." Furthermore, consider the shepherd's pasture grounds. The old shepherds used to take the sheep upon the mountains in the summer, and dwell in the valleys in the winter. The sheep being out of doors perpetually.their wool was better than If they had been kept in the hot atmosphere of the sheep-cot. Wells were dug for the sheep and covered with large stoneB, in order that the hot weather might not spoil the water. And coat of arms?- No; it Is s towel.—Th» j t n f t B the shepherd led his flock wherdisdples' feet are filthy from the walk washing, and they shall go up on the other banks snow white. They follow the great Shepherd. They heard his Alas for those who are finally found outside the inclosure. The night o<* their sin howls with jaekals; they are thirsting for theii blood. The very moment that a la;nb may be frisking upon the hills, a bear may be looking at It from the thicket. In June, 1815, there was a very noble party gathered in a house in St. James' square, London. The prince regent was present, and the occasion was made fascinating by music.and banqueting and by jewels. While a quadrille was being formed, suddenly all the people rushed to the windows. What is the matter? Henry Percy had arrived with the news that Waterloo had been fought, and that England had wpn the day. The dance was abandoned; the party dispersed; lords, ladies and musicians rushed into the street, and in fifteen irinutes from the first announcement of the good news the house was emptied of all its guests. Oh, ye who are seated at the banquet of this world, or whirling in its gayeties and frivolities, if you could hear the sweet strains of the Gospel trumpet announcing Christ's victory over sin and death and hell, you would rush forth, glad in the eternal deliverance. The Waterloo against sin has been fought, and our commander-in-chief hath won the'day. Oh, the joys of this salvation! I do not care what metaphor, what comparison you have; bring it to me, that I may use it. Amos shall bring one simile, Isaiah another, John another. Beautiful with pardon. Beautiful with peace. Beautiful with anticipations. Or to return to the pastoral figure of my text, come, out of the poor pasturage of this world into the rich fortunes of the Good Shepherd. . The shepherd of old used to play beautiful music, and sometimes the sheep would gather around him and listen. Today my heavenly shepherd calls to you with the very music of heaven, bidding you to leave your sin and accept his pardon. Oh, that all this flock would hear the piping of the Good Shepherd. ever he would; nobody disputed ais- Prof. Dolbear sayB that what is called stupidity is simply the indication that a certain brain area is not proper* ly nourished or is without conununies- 4l«ii rHh tr-t n f i m **"** I'lio r'uUuefM T h e r e o f . Amid the discomfort* of life and the fullness therof, reaching to every family, there is that which can so easily mitigate or entirely cure, the wonder is why we endure and suffer so much.

The Monitor, a newspaper published at Ideaford, Ont., Canada, first discovered this case two years ago, and published it at length, which now seems, owing to the cure of it, to be a miracle,. The facts were so remarkable that many people doubted the truth of them, f hey said: "It is too remarkable; it cannot possibly be true; the Eaper is mistaken, and the man, although e may think himself cured, will soon relapse into his former condition," etc., etc. The accuracy of its report called in question, the Monitor determined to find out definitely whether the fact* were as stated and whether the man would really stay cured. They accordingly kept a close watch on the case for two yean after the openinghismotjth sufficiently wide to take solid food. The doctors called the disease spinal sclerosis, and all said he could not live. For three years he lingered in this condition. Then by some friends he was advised to take Dr. Williams' Pink Fills for Pale People. He took them and there was a slight change. The first thing noted was a tendency to sweat freely. This showed there was some lii'eleft inula helpless body. Next came a little feeling in his limbs. This extended, followed by pricking sensations, until at last the blood began to course freely, naturally and vigorously through his body, and the helplessness gave way to returning strength, the ability to walk returned, and he w(ts restored to his old time health. I am in even better health than when I gave you the flrttt interview.'1'' "Do you still attribute your cure to the use of Dr. Williams' Phik Pills?" asked the Monitor. "Unquestionably I do," was the reply. "Doctors had failed, as had also the numerous remedies recommended by my friends. Nothing I took had the slightest effect upon me until I began tfae use of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. To thU wonderful medicine I owe my release from the living death. I have since recommended these pills to many of m y friends, and the verdict is always in their favor. I shall always bless the day I was induced to take them." Such is the history of one of the most remarkable cases of modern times.

The first account stated that the patient (see address below) had been a paraly tic for five years,that there was such a total lack of feeling in his limbs and body, that a pin run full l e n g t h could not be Celt; that he could not walk or help himself at all; fj two years he was not dressed; furthermore that he was bloated was for that reas/m almost unrecognizable, and could not^get his clothes on. The paralysis was socomplete •*to affect the face and prevented nim from The above is the 8'ibstance of the first article published by the Monitor. Now f ollow Rome clippings, taken from the same paper two years afterward, and there is not the slightest shadow of doubt, in visw of this testimony, that Mr. Petch's cure is permanent. Here follows the account: On being agnin questioned, Mr. Petch said: "Youseethosehands—theskinisnow natural and elastic. Once they were hard and wi'hout Rensation. You could pierce them with a pin and I would notf eel it. and iat is true of my bands is true of the rest of iir* body.

Indeed one say, in the face of such testimony, that Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are not entitled to the careful consideration of any suffering man, woman or child' Is not the case in truth a miracle of modern medicine? Tomaketheeviden^ecomplete we publish above a f ac simile cut of the check received by Mr. Petch from the Canadian' Mutual Life Association, being the amount due him for total disability. Itis unnecessary to add that this life insurance association did not pay this large amount of money to Mr. Petch, except after the most carelul examination of his condition by their medical experts. They must have regarded him as forever incurable. Mr. Petch's address is as follows, Reuben Petch, Griersville, Ont., Canada- A clear conscience furnishes the best digestion for a dinner.
